The COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic is continuing to have an adverse impact on the Company, its customers and the communities it serves. Given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the business of the Company, its customers, employees and third-party service providers. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including whether the pandemic can be controlled and abated. Additionally, the responses of various governmental and nongovernmental authorities to curtail business and consumer activities in an effort to mitigate the pandemic will have material long-term effects on the Company and its customers which are difficult to quantify in the near-term or long-term.

As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, the Company is subject to certain risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations of the Company. These risks include, among others, (i) risks to the capital markets that may impact the value or performance of the Company’s investment securities portfolio, as well as limit our access to the capital markets and wholesale funding sources; (ii) effects on key employees, including operational or management personnel and those charged with preparing, monitoring and evaluating the companies’ financial reporting and internal controls; (iii) declines in demand for loans and other banking services and products, as well as a decline in the credit quality of our loan portfolio, owing to the effects of COVID-19 in the markets served by the Company; (iv) collateral for loans, especially real estate, may continue to decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase; (v) the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments; (vi) the allowance for credit losses may increase if borrowers experience financial difficulties, which will adversely affect net income; (vii) if the economy is unable to substantially reopen or reopen in an efficient manner, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased loan losses and reduced interest income; (viii) in certain states in which we do business temporary bans on evictions and foreclosures have been enacted through executive orders, and may continue indefinitely, resulting in our inability to take timely possession of real estate assets collateralizing loans, which may increase our loan losses; (ix) as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing net interest margin and spread and reducing net income; (x) cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely and an increase in the number of our clients banking electronically; (xi) declines in demand resulting from adverse impacts of the disease on businesses deemed to be “non-essential” by governments in the markets served by the Company; and (xii) increasing or protracted volatility in the price of the Company’s common stock, which may also impair our goodwill or other intangible assets.

As a participating lender in the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), we are subject to additional risks of litigation from our customers or other parties regarding our processing of loans for the PPP which could have a significant adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations, and prospects. The COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the economy have led to actions including the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, including the establishment of the PPP administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). Under the PPP, small businesses and other entities and individuals can apply for loans from existing SBA lenders and other approved regulated lenders that enroll in the program, subject to numerous limitations and eligibility criteria. We are participating as a lender in the PPP. Since the initiation of the PPP, several banks have been subject to litigation or threatened litigation regarding the process and procedures that such banks used in processing applications for the PPP. We may be exposed to the risk of litigation, from both clients and non-clients that approached us regarding PPP loans. If any such litigation is filed or threatened against us and is not resolved in a manner favorable to us, it may result in significant cost or adversely affect our reputation. Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP-related litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations and prospects.

The Company cautions that the listed factors are not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.

Part I

Item 1. Business.

General

We are a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey in January 2005. Our business and operations primarily consist of our ownership of Parke Bank (the "Bank"). The Bank is a full service commercial bank and is chartered by the New Jersey Department of Banking and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank conducts its business through offices in Gloucester, Atlantic and Camden Counties in New Jersey and the Philadelphia area in Pennsylvania.

We, through our wholly owned subsidiary Parke Bank, provide personal and business financial services to individuals and small to mid-sized businesses. We offer a range of loan products, deposits services, and other financial products through our retail branches and other channels to our customers. Our core lending businesses are commercial real estate lending, residential real estate lending, and construction lending. We also offer a variety of commercial and industry loan and consumer loan products to our customers. We fund our lending business primarily with deposits generated through retail deposits and commercial relationships. Our deposit products include checking, savings, money market deposit, time deposits, and other traditional deposit services. In addition to traditional products and services, we offer contemporary products and services, such as debit cards, internet banking and online bill payment.

We commenced operations on June 1, 2005, upon completion of the reorganization of the Bank into the holding company form of ownership following approval of the reorganization by shareholders of the Bank at its 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Our headquarters is located at 601 Delsea Drive, Washington Township, New Jersey. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports, are available for free of charge at www.parkebank.com as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Investors are encouraged to access these reports and other information about our business on our website.

At December 31, 2021, we had total assets of $2.14 billion, including loans of $1.48 billion, total deposits of $1.77 billion and total equity of $232.4 million.

Market Area

Substantially all of the Bank’s business is with customers in its market areas of Southern New Jersey and the Philadelphia area of Pennsylvania. We have carefully expanded our lending footprint in other areas also. Most of the Bank’s customers are individuals and small to medium-sized businesses which are dependent upon the regional economy. Adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the Bank’s markets could adversely affect the Bank’s borrowers, their ability to repay their loans and to borrow additional funds, and consequently the Bank’s financial condition and performance.

Additionally, most of the Bank’s loans are secured by real estate located in Southern New Jersey and the Philadelphia area. A decline in local economic conditions could adversely affect the values of such real estate. Consequently, a decline in local economic conditions may have a greater effect on the Bank’s earnings and capital than on the earnings and capital of larger financial institutions whose real estate loan portfolios are more geographically diverse.

Competition

The Bank faces significant competition, both in making loans and attracting deposits. The Bank’s competition in both areas comes principally from other commercial banks, thrift and savings institutions, including savings and loan associations and credit unions, and other types of financial institutions, including brokerage firms and credit card companies. The Bank

faces additional competition for deposits from short-term money market mutual funds and other corporate and government securities funds.

Most of the Bank’s competitors, whether traditional or nontraditional financial institutions, have a longer history and significantly greater financial and marketing resources than does the Bank. Among the advantages these institutions have over the Bank are their ability to finance wide-ranging and effective advertising campaigns, to access international money markets and to allocate their investment resources to regions of highest yield and demand. Major banks operating in the primary market area offer certain services, such as international banking and trust services, which are not offered directly by the Bank.

In commercial transactions, the Bank’s legal lending limit to a single borrower enables the Bank to compete effectively for the business of individuals and smaller enterprises. However, the Bank’s legal lending limit is considerably lower than that of various competing institutions, which have substantially greater capitalization. The Bank has a relatively smaller capital base than most other competing institutions which, although above regulatory minimums, may constrain the Bank’s effectiveness in competing for loans.

Medical-Use Cannabis Related Business

We provide banking services to customers that are licensed by various States to do business in the medical-use cannabis industry as growers, processors and dispensaries. Medical-use cannabis businesses are legal in these States, although it is not legal at the federal level. The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) published guidelines in 2014 for financial institutions servicing state legal cannabis businesses. A financial institution that provides services to cannabis-related businesses can comply with Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) disclosure standards by following the FinCEN guidelines. We maintain stringent written policies and procedures related to the acceptance of such businesses and to the monitoring and maintenance of such business accounts. We conduct a significant due diligence review of the cannabis business before the business is accepted, including confirmation that the business is properly licensed by the applicable state. Throughout the relationship, we continue monitoring the business, including site visits, to ensure that the business continues to meet our stringent requirements, including maintenance of required licenses and periodic financial reviews of the business.

While we believe we are operating in compliance with the FinCEN guidelines, there can be no assurance that federal enforcement guidelines will not change. Federal prosecutors have significant discretion and there can be no assurance that the federal prosecutors will not choose to strictly enforce the federal laws governing cannabis. Any change in the Federal government’s enforcement position, could cause us to immediately cease providing banking services to the cannabis industry.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, deposit balances from medical-use cannabis customers were approximately $375.2 million and $259.4 million, or 21.2% and 16.3% of total deposits, respectively, with two customers accounting for 19.3% and 19.2% of the total at December 31, 2021 and 2020. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were cannabis-related loans in the amounts of $5.4 million and $8.0 million, respectively. We recorded approximately $336,000and $465,000 of interest incomes in 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to these loans. The fee income for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 from the commercial deposit accounts of depositors who do business in the medical-use cannabis industry were $5.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, and are included in service fees on deposit accounts, in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Lending Activities

Our lending relationships are primarily with small to mid-sized businesses and individual consumers residing primarily in and around Southern New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We focus our lending efforts primarily in three lending areas: residential mortgage loans, commercial mortgage loans, and construction loans.

Loan Maturity.The following table sets forth the contractual maturity of certain loan categories and the dollar amount of loans in certain loan categories due after December 31, 2021, which have predetermined interest rates and which have floating or adjustable interest rates at December 31, 2021.

(Dollars in thousands)

Commercial Real Estate Mortgage:

Commercial and Industrial Loans. The Bank originates secured loans for business purposes. Loans are made to provide working capital to businesses in the form of lines of credit, which may be secured by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or other assets. The financial condition and cash flow of commercial borrowers are closely monitored by means of corporate financial statements, personal financial statements and income tax returns. The frequency of submissions of required financial information depends on the size and complexity of the credit and the collateral that secures the loan. The Bank’s general policy is to obtain personal guarantees from the principals of the commercial loan borrowers. Such loans are made to businesses located in the Bank’s market area.

Commercial business loans generally involve a greater degree of risk than residential mortgage loans and carry larger loan balances. This increased credit risk is a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the mobility of collateral, the effects of general economic conditions and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other income and which are secured by real property the value of which tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself and the general economic environment. If the cash flow from business operations is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired.

Construction Loans. The Bank originates construction loans to individuals and real estate developers in its market area. The advantages of construction lending are that the market is typically less competitive than more standard mortgage products, the interest rate typically charged is a variable rate, which permits the Bank to protect against sudden changes in its costs of funds, and the fees or “points” charged by the Bank to its customers can be amortized over the shorter term of a construction loan, typically, one to two years, which permits the Bank to recognize income received over a shorter period of time.

The Bank provides interim real estate acquisition development and construction loans to builders and developers. Construction loans to provide interim financing on the property are based on acceptable percentages of the appraised value of the property securing the loan in each case. Construction loan funds are disbursed periodically at pre-specified stages of completion. Interest rates on these loans are generally adjustable. The Bank carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and control of disbursements. These loans are generally made on properties located in the Bank’s market area.

Construction loans are secured by the properties under development and personal guarantees are typically obtained. Further, to assure that reliance is not placed solely on the value of the underlying property, the Bank considers the financial

condition and reputation of the borrower and any guarantors, the amount of the borrower’s equity in the project, independent appraisals, costs estimates and pre-construction sale information.

Loans to residential builders are for the construction of residential homes for which a binding sales contract exists and the prospective buyers have been pre-qualified for permanent mortgage financing. Loans to residential developers are made only to developers with a proven sales record. Generally, these loans are extended only when the borrower provides evidence that the lots under development will be sold to potential buyers satisfactory to the Bank.

The Bank also originates loans to individuals for construction of single family dwellings. These loans are for the construction of the individual’s primary residence. They are typically secured by the property under construction, occasionally include additional collateral (such as a second mortgage on the borrower’s present home), and commonly have maturities of six to twelve months.

Construction financing is labor intensive for the Bank, requiring employees of the Bank to expend substantial time and resources in monitoring and servicing each construction loan to completion. Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction and development, the accuracy of projections, such as the sales of homes or the future leasing of commercial space, and the accuracy of the estimated cost (including interest) of construction. Substantial deviations can occur in such projections. During the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and cost overruns. If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the development. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project having a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment. Also, a construction loan that is in default can cause problems for the Bank such as selecting replacement builders for a project, considering alternate uses for the project and site and handling any structural and environmental issues that might arise.

Commercial Real Estate Mortgage Loans. The Bank originates mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate. Such loans are primarily secured by office buildings, retail buildings, warehouses and general purpose business space. Although terms may vary, the Bank’s commercial mortgages generally have maturities of twenty years, but re-price within five years.

Loans secured by commercial real estate are generally larger and involve a greater degree of risk than one-to four-family residential mortgage loans. Of primary concern in commercial and multi-family real estate lending is the borrower’s creditworthiness and the feasibility and cash flow potential of the project. Payments on loans secured by income properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties. As a result, repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent than residential real estate loans to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

The Bank seeks to reduce the risks associated with commercial mortgage lending by generally lending in its primary market area and obtaining periodic financial statements and tax returns from borrowers. It is also the Bank’s general policy to obtain personal guarantees from the principals of the borrowers and assignments of all leases related to the collateral.

Residential Real Estate Mortgage Loans. The Bank originates adjustable and fixed-rate residential mortgage loans. Such mortgage loans are generally originated under terms, conditions and documentation acceptable to the secondary mortgage market. Although the Bank has placed all of these loans into its portfolio, a substantial majority of such loans can be sold in the secondary market or pledged for potential borrowings.

Consumer Loans. The Bank offers a variety of consumer loans. These loans are typically secured by residential real estate or personal property, including automobiles. Home equity loans (closed-end and lines of credit) are typically made up to 80% of the appraised or assessed value of the property securing the loan in each case, less the amount of any existing prior liens on the property, and generally have maximum terms of ten years. The interest rates on second mortgages are generally fixed, while interest rates on home equity lines of credit are variable.

Loans to One Borrower and Concentration of Loans. Federal regulations limit loans to one borrower in an amount equal to 15% of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. At December 31, 2021, the Bank’s loan to one borrower limit was approximately $45.6 million and the Bank had no borrowers with loan balances in excess of this amount. At December 31, 2021, the Bank’s largest loan to one borrower was a combination loan/line of credit with a balance of loan and line of credit of $21.8 million that were secured by mix of real estate, construction assets and other commercial assets. At December 31, 2021, these loans were current and performing in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.

The size of loans which the Bank can offer to potential borrowers is less than the size of loans which many of the Bank’s competitors with larger capitalization are able to offer. The Bank may engage in loan participations with other banks for loans in excess of the Bank’s legal lending limits. However, no assurance can be given that such participations will be available at all or on terms which are favorable to the Bank and its customers.

The Bank establishes policies and methods to determine concentrations of credit risk and to maintain discipline in lending practices with a focus on portfolio diversification. The Bank limits on loans to one borrower, one industry as well as product concentrations. At December 31, 2021, the Bank's loan portfolio consists of residential, commercial real estate loans, construction loans, commercial and industry loans as well as consumer loans.

Non-Performing and Problem Assets

Non-Performing Assets. Non-accrual loans are loans on which the accrual of interest has ceased. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status if, in the opinion of management, collection is doubtful, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more unless the collateral is considered sufficient to cover principal and interest and the loan is in the process of collection. Interest accrued, but not collected at the date a loan is placed on non-accrual status, is reversed and charged against interest income. Subsequent cash receipts are applied either to the outstanding principal or recorded as interest income, depending on management’s assessment of ultimate collectability of principal and interest. Loans are returned to an accrual status when the borrower’s ability to make periodic principal and interest payments has returned to normal (i.e., brought current with respect to principal or interest or restructured) and the paying capacity of the borrower and/or the underlying collateral is deemed sufficient to cover principal and interest.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future discounted cash flows, the market price of the loan or the fair value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The recognition of interest income on impaired loans is the same as for non-accrual loans discussed above. Total impaired loans, which include non-accrual loans and performing troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), were $10.3 million and $22.7 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Included in impaired loans at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $6.0 million and $13.9 million, respectively, of loans classified as TDRs as defined within accounting guidance and regulatory literature.

As of December 31, 2021, there was $17.4 million in loans which were not then on non-accrual status or a TDR but where there is a potential weakness or pose unwarranted financial risk to the Bank, even though the asset value is not currently impaired. These loans require an increased degree of monitoring and servicing by Management as a result of internal or external conditions.

When a loan is more than 30 days delinquent, the borrower is contacted by mail or phone and payment is requested. If the delinquency continues, subsequent efforts are made to contact the delinquent borrower. In certain instances, the Bank may modify the loan or grant a limited moratorium on loan payments to enable the borrower to reorganize their financial affairs. If the loan continues in a delinquent status for 90 days or more, the Bank generally will initiate foreclosure proceedings.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status is charged against interest income. Such interest, when ultimately collected, is applied either to the outstanding principal or recorded as interest income, depending on management’s assessment of ultimate collectability of principal and interest. At December 31, 2021, the Bank had $4.3 million in loans that were on a non-accrual basis.Interest income of $406,391 was recognized on these loans during the year ended December 31, 2021. Gross interest income of $522,656 would have been recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021, if these loans had been performing in accordance with their terms.

Foreclosed Real Estate. Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold. When real estate owned is acquired, it is recorded at its fair value less disposal costs. Management also periodically performs valuations of real estate owned and establishes allowances to reduce book values of the properties to their net realizable values when necessary. Any write-down of real estate owned is charged to operations. Real estate owned at December 31, 2021 was $1.7 million. Real estate owned consisted of 1 commercial owner occupied property as of December 31, 2021.

Allowance for Losses on Loans. It is the policy of management to estimate for possible losses on all loans in its portfolio, whether classified or not. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s evaluation of the inherent losses estimated to have occurred in the Bank’s loan portfolio.

Management’s judgment as to the level of probable losses on existing loans is based on its internal review of the loan portfolio, including an analysis of the borrower's current financial position; the level and trends in delinquencies, non-accruals and impaired loans; the consideration of national and local economic conditions and trends; concentrations of credit; the impact of any changes in credit policy; the experience and depth of management and the lending staff; and any trends in loan volume and terms. In determining the collectability of certain loans, management also considers the fair value of any underlying collateral. However, management’s determination of the appropriate allowance level, which is based upon the factors outlined above, which are believed to be reasonable, may or may not prove to be valid. Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses will not be required.

Allocation of Allowance for Loan Losses. The following table sets forth the allocation of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses by loan category at the dates indicated and the related percentage of the loans in the portfolio. The portion of the loan loss allowance allocated to each loan category does not represent the total available for future losses that may occur within the loan category as the total loan loss allowance is a valuation reserve applicable to the entire loan portfolio.

Investment Activities

General. The investment policy of the Company is established by senior management and approved by the Board of Directors. It is based on asset and liability management goals and is designed to provide a portfolio of high quality investments that foster interest income within acceptable interest rate risk and liquidity guidelines. In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company classifies the majority of its portfolio of investment securities as “available for sale” with the remainder, which are a mix of municipal bonds and mortgage-backed-securities held for Community Reinvestment Act purposes, as “held to maturity.” At December 31, 2021, the Bank’s investment policy allowed investments in instruments such as: (i) U.S. Treasury obligations, (ii) U.S. government agency or government-sponsored agency obligations, (iii) local municipal obligations, (iv)

mortgage-backed securities, (v) certificates of deposit, and (vi) investment grade corporate bonds, trust preferred securities and mutual funds. The Board of Directors may authorize additional investments. At December 31, 2021, no one issuer of investment securities represented 10% or more of the Company’s stockholders’ equity.

Investment Portfolio Maturities. The following table sets forth information regarding the scheduled maturities, amortized costs, estimated fair values, and weighted average yields for the Bank’s investment securities portfolio at December 31, 2021, by contractual maturity.

Sources of Funds

General. Deposits are the major external source of the Bank’s funds for lending and other investment purposes. In addition to deposits, the Bank derives funds from the amortization, prepayment or sale of loans, maturities of investment securities and operations. Scheduled loan principal repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are significantly influenced by general interest rates and market conditions.

Deposits. The Bank offers individuals and businesses a wide variety of accounts, including checking, savings, money market accounts, individual retirement accounts and certificates of deposit. Total deposits were $1.77 billion at December 31, 2021. Deposits are obtained primarily from communities that the Bank serves, however, the Bank held brokered deposits of $9.1 million and $71.1 million at December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Brokered deposits are a more volatile source of funding than core deposits and do not increase the deposit franchise of the Bank. In a rising rate environment, the Bank may be unwilling or unable to pay a competitive rate. To the extent that such deposits do not remain with the Bank, they may need to be replaced with borrowings which could increase the Bank’s cost of funds and negatively impact its interest rate spread, financial condition and results of operation. To mitigate the potential negative impact associated with brokered deposits, the Bank joined

Promontory Interfinancial Network ("Promontory") to secure an additional alternative funding source. Promontory provides the Bank an additional source of external funds through their weekly CDARSTM settlement process. The rates are comparable to brokered deposits and can be obtained within a shorter period of time than brokered deposits. The Bank’s CDARSTM deposits included within the brokered deposit total amounted to $4.5 million and $66.4 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

(Dollars in thousands)

Under FDIC regulations, insured banks that are well capitalized with examination ratings in one of the two highest categories are permitted to accept brokered deposits and are not restricted as to the rates that can be paid on such deposits. Banks that are less than well capitalized or are not in one of the two highest examination rating categories may not accept brokered deposits absent a waiver from the FDIC and may not pay interest on brokered deposits that they are permitted to accept at a rate that is more than 75 basis points greater than the average national rate paid on deposits of similar size and maturity. Pursuant to the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (“EGRRCPA”) enacted in May 2018, the FDIC has amended its brokered deposit rule to exempt reciprocal deposits such as CDARs in an amount not exceeding the lesser of $5 billion or 20% of a bank’s total liabilities from the definition of brokered deposits. A bank that was well-capitalized and highly rated may continue to accept reciprocal deposits after it becomes less than well-capitalized or is no longer highly rated provided that reciprocal deposits do not exceed the average amount of reciprocal deposits as the preceding four quarter ends.

Subsidiary Activities

The largest subsidiary of the Company is the Bank. In 2018, the Company formed a joint venture with Bridgestone Capital LLC in PDL LLC, to originate short-term alternative real estate loan products. The Company had a 51% ownership interest in the joint venture, and Bridgestone Capital LLC made a $1.2 million capital contribution to PDL. In 2021, PDL LLC was fully liquidated and all earnings were distributed to the Company and Bridgestone Capital, LLC.

Personnel

At December 31, 2021, the Bank had 98 full-time and 12 part-time employees.

Regulation

Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws that relate to the regulation of the Bank and the Company. The description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable laws and regulations.

The CARES Act and Initiatives Related to COVID-19

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act(“CARES Act”) was signed into law on March 27, 2020 to provide national emergency economic relief measures. Many of the CARES Act’s programs are dependent upon the direct involvement of U.S. financial institutions, such as the Bank, and have been implemented through rules and guidance adopted by federal departments and agencies, including the U.S. Department of Treasury, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") and other federal banking agencies, including those with direct supervisory jurisdiction over the Bank and the Company. Furthermore, as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has evolved, federal regulatory authorities have continued to issue additional guidance with respect to the implementation, lifecycle, and eligibility requirements for the various CARES Act programs as well as industry-specific recovery procedures for COVID-19. The Company continues to assess the impact of the CARES Act and other statutes, regulations and supervisory guidance related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Paycheck Protection Program. Section 1102 of the CARES Act created the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), a program administered by the SBA to provide loans to small businesses for payroll and other basic expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Bank has participated in the PPP as a lender. These loans are eligible to be forgiven if certain conditions are satisfied and are fully guaranteed by the SBA. Additionally, loan payments will also be deferred for the first six months of the loan term. The PPP commenced on April 3, 2020 and was available to qualified borrowers through August 8, 2020. Neither the government nor lenders are permitted to charge the recipients any fees. In December 2020, Congress amended the CARES Act through the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (the “CAA”). Among other things, the CAA renewed the PPP, allocating $284.45 billion for new first time PPP loans under the existing PPP and permitting the expansion of existing PPP loans for certain qualified, existing PPP borrowers. As a participating lender in the PPP, the Bank continues to monitor legislative, regulatory, and supervisory developments related thereto.

Guidance on Non-TDR Loan Modifications due to COVID-19.On March 22, 2020, the federal bank regulatory agencies issued the “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus,” which encourages financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, Section 4013 of the

CARES Act provided that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) as defined by generally accepted accounting principles, from the period beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 pandemic declared by the President of the United States terminates. The CAA extended this relief to the earlier of January 1, 2022 or the first day of a bank’s fiscal year that begins after the national emergency ends. In accordance with the CARES Act’s TDR relief provisions, as extended by the CAA, the Bank will not classify qualified loan modifications made through the end of 2021 as TDRs. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

Consent Orders with Banking Regulators

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Bank entered into a Stipulation to the Issuance of a Consent Order with each of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (the “NJDOBI”), consenting to the issuance of substantially identical consent orders (the “Consent Orders”) relating to weaknesses in the Bank’s Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering (collectively “BSA”) compliance program. In consenting to the issuance of the Consent Orders, the Bank did not admit or deny any charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices related to the BSA compliance program.

Under the terms of the Consent Orders, the Bank and/or its Board of Directors is required to take certain actions which include, but are not limited to:

•Increase supervision and direction of the Bank’s BSA compliance program and assume full responsibility for the approval and implementation of sound BSA policies and procedures;

•Creation of a compliance committee of the Board of Directors of the Bank with the responsibility of overseeing compliance with the Orders, BSA and the BSA compliance program;

•Designate a qualified individual(s) acceptable to the FDIC and the NJDOBI as a BSA Officer;

•Review and improve the Bank’s BSA compliance program, BSA risk assessment, system of BSA internal controls, and customer due diligence policies;

•Develop, adopt and implement effective training programs for the Board and management on all relevant aspects of laws, regulations and policies relating to BSA and ensure that an adequate number of qualified staff have been retained for the Bank’s BSA Department;

•Ensure the Bank’s adherence to a written program of policies and procedures to provide for BSA compliance and the appropriate identification and monitoring of transactions that pose greater than normal risk for BSA compliance;

•Development and implementation of a customer due diligence program to enhance customer due diligence and risk assessment processes;

•Review and improve policies and procedures for monitoring and reporting suspicious activity;

•Conduct independent testing for compliance with BSA by either a qualified outside party or Bank personnel who are independent of the BSA function and are qualified to perform such testing; and

•Hire a qualified firm acceptable to the FDIC and the NJDOBI to conduct a look back review of accounts and transaction activity for the time period beginning January 1, 2019, through the effective date of the Orders.

Numerous actions have already been taken or commenced by the Bank, which will assist in complying with the Consent Orders and strengthen its BSA compliance practices, policies, procedures and controls.

The Consent Orders have resulted, and are expected to continue to result, in additional BSA compliance expenses for the Bank and the Company. The Consent Orders do not otherwise impact the Bank’s business activities outside of BSA.

The Consent Orders do not require the Bank to pay any civil money penalty or require additional capital.

The foregoing summary description of the Consent Orders is not complete and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Consent Orders, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Consent Orders will remain in effect and be enforceable until they are modified, terminated, suspended or set aside by the FDIC and the NJDOBI. Management and the Board have expressed their full intention to comply with all parts of the Consent Orders at the earliest possible date. Issuance of the Consent Orders do not preclude further government action with respect to the Bank’s BSA program, including the imposition of fines, sanctions, additional expenses and compliance cost, and/or restrictions on the activities of the Bank.

Holding Company Regulation

General. The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “BHC Act”), and is regulated by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has enforcement authority over the Company and the Company's non-bank subsidiary which also permits the Federal Reserve to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary bank. The Company is required to file periodic reports of its operations with, and is subject to examination by, the Federal Reserve. This regulation and oversight is generally intended to ensure that the Company limits its activities to those allowed by law and that it operates in a safe and sound manner without endangering the financial health of its subsidiary bank.

Under the BHC Act, the Company must obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before it may acquire control of another bank or bank holding company, merge or consolidate with another bank holding company, acquire all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company, or acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank or bank holding company if, after such acquisition, the Company would directly or indirectly own or control more than 5% of such shares.

Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the BHC Act on extensions of credit to the bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries, on investments in the stock or other securities of the bank holding company or its subsidiaries, and on the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower. Furthermore, under amendments to the BHC Act and regulations of the Federal Reserve, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit or provision of credit or providing any property or services. Generally, this provision provides that a bank may not extend credit, lease or sell property, or furnish any service to a customer on the condition that the customer obtain additional credit or service from the bank, the bank holding company, or any other subsidiary of the bank holding company or on the condition that the customer not obtain other credit or service from a competitor of the bank, the bank holding company, or any subsidiary of the bank.

Source of Strength Doctrine. A bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner. In addition, it is the policy of the Federal Reserve that a bank holding company should stand ready to use available resources to provide adequate capital to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. A bank holding company's failure to meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks will generally be considered by the Federal Reserve to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of the Federal Reserve regulations, or both.

Non-Banking Activities. The business activities of the Company, as a bank holding company, are restricted by the BHC Act and the Federal Reserve’s bank holding company regulations. Under the BHC Act and Federal Reserve regulation, the Company generally may only engage in, or acquire or control voting securities or assets of a company engaged in, (1) banking or managing or controlling banks and other subsidiaries authorized under the BHC Act and (2) any BHC Act activity the Federal Reserve has determined to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks to be a proper incident thereto. These include any incidental activities necessary to carry on those activities, as well as a lengthy list of activities that the Federal Reserve has determined to be so closely related to the business of banking as to be a proper incident thereto.

In addition, a bank holding company that qualifies to be treated as a “financial holding company” and submits a financial holding company notice to the Federal Reserve may engage in a broad range of additional activities that are (i) financial in nature or incidental to such financial activities or (ii) complementary to a financial activity and do not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally. These activities include securities underwriting and dealing, insurance agency and underwriting, and making merchant banking investments. The Company has not submitted notice to the Federal Reserve of its intent to be deemed a financial holding company.

Regulatory Capital Requirements. The Federal Reserve has adopted regulatory capital requirements pursuant to which it assesses the adequacy of capital in examining and supervising a bank holding company and in analyzing applications to it under the BHC Act. The Federal Reserve’s capital requirements are similar to those imposed on the Bank by the FDIC. See “Regulation of the Bank-Regulatory Capital Requirements.” Under the Federal Reserve’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement, however, such regulatory capital requirements generally do not apply on a consolidated basis to a bank holding company with total assets of less than $3 billion unless the holding company: (1) is engaged in significant nonbanking activities either directly or through a nonbank subsidiary; (2) conducts significant off-balance sheet activities (including securitization and asset management or administration) either directly or through a nonbank subsidiary; or (3) has a material amount of debt or equity securities outstanding (other than trust preferred securities) that are registered with the SEC. The Federal Reserve

may apply the regulatory capital standards at its discretion to any bank holding company, regardless of asset size, if such action is warranted for supervisory purposes.

Dividends. The Company is subject to various restrictions relating to the payment of dividends. The Federal Reserve has issued guidance indicating that bank holding companies should generally pay dividends only if the company’s net income available to common shareholders over the past year has been sufficient to fully fund the dividends, and the prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent with the company’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. The Federal Reserve’s guidance also states that a bank holding company should inform and consult with its regional Federal Reserve Bank in advance of declaring or paying a dividend that exceeds earnings for the period for which the dividend is being paid or that could result in a material adverse change to the organization’s capital structure.

As a majority of the Company’s revenues result from dividends paid to the Company by the Bank, the Company’s ability to pay dividends to our shareholders largely depends on the receipt of such dividends from the Bank. The Bank is subject to various laws and regulations limiting the amount of dividends that it can pay. Under New Jersey law, no dividend may be paid if the dividend would impair the capital stock of the Bank. In addition, no dividend may be paid unless the Bank would, after payment of the dividend, have a surplus of at least 50% of its capital stock (or if the payment of dividend would not reduce surplus). Finally, if the Bank does not maintain the capital conservation buffer required by applicable regulatory capital rules, its ability to pay dividends or other capital distributions to the Company will be limited. See “- Regulation of the Bank - Regulatory Capital Requirements.”

Federal Securities Law. The Company’s common stock is registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and the Company is subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of Section 12(b) of the 1934 Act, as amended.

Regulation of the Bank

The Bank operates in a highly regulated industry. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which a bank may engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the deposit insurance fund and depositors and not shareholders of the Bank.

Any change in applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, whether by the NJDOBI, the FDIC, the United States Congress or state legislatures, could have a material adverse impact on the Bank, and its operations. The adoption of regulations or the enactment of laws that restrict the operations of the Bank or impose burdensome requirements upon it could reduce its profitability and could impair the value of the Bank’s franchise, which developments could hurt the trading price of the Company’s stock.

As a New Jersey-chartered commercial bank, the Bank is subject to the regulation and supervision of the NJDOBI. As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is subject to regulation and supervision of the FDIC. The regulations of the FDIC and the NJDOBI affect virtually all activities of the Bank, including the minimum level of capital the Bank must maintain, the ability of the Bank to pay dividends, the ability of the Bank to expand through new branches or acquisitions and various other matters. The NJDOBI and the FDIC regularly examine the Bank and prepare reports to the Bank’s Board of Directors on deficiencies, if any, found in its operations. The regulatory authorities have substantial discretion to impose enforcement action on an institution that fails to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

Federal Deposit Insurance. The FDIC insures deposits at federally insured financial institutions such as the Bank. Deposit accounts in the Bank are insured by the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund up to a maximum of $250,000 per separately insured depositor.

The FDIC charges insured depository institutions premiums to maintain the Deposit Insurance Fund. Under the FDIC’s risk-based assessment system, banks that are deemed to be less risky pay lower assessments. Assessments for institutions with assets of less than $10 billion of assets, such as the Bank, are based on financial measures and supervisory ratings derived from statistical modeling estimating the probability of failure of an institution’s failure within three years.

The FDIC’s currently effective deposit insurance assessment range (inclusive of possible adjustments) for most insured depository institutions is 1.5 basis points to 30 basis points of total assets less tangible equity. The FDIC has the authority to increase insurance assessments. Any significant increases would have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of the Bank. We cannot predict what the FDIC assessment rates will be in the future.

Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC. We do not currently know of any practice, condition or violation that may lead to termination of our deposit insurance.

Regulatory Capital Requirements. The Bank is required to maintain specified levels of regulatory capital under federal banking regulations. The capital requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by bank regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Under the FDIC's regulatory capital rules, the Bank is required to meet four minimum capital standards: (1) “Tier 1” or “core” capital leverage ratio equal to at least 4% of total adjusted assets, (2) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio equal to 4.5% of risk-weighted assets, (3) a Tier 1 risk-based ratio equal to 6% of risk-weighted assets, and (4) a total capital ratio equal to 8% of total risk-weighted assets. Common equity Tier 1 capital is defined as common stock instruments, retained earnings, any common equity Tier 1 minority interest and, unless the bank has made an “opt-out” election, accumulated other comprehensive income, net of goodwill and certain other intangible assets. Tier 1 or core capital is defined as common equity Tier 1 capital plus certain qualifying subordinated interests and grandfathered capital instruments. Total capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 or supplementary capital items, which include allowances for loan losses in an amount of up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, qualifying subordinated instruments and certain grandfathered capital instruments. An institution’s risk-based capital requirements are measured against risk-weighted assets, which equal the sum of each on-balance-sheet asset and the credit-equivalent amount of each off-balance-sheet item after being multiplied by an assigned risk weight. Risk weightings range from 0% for cash to 100% for property acquired through foreclosure, commercial loans, and certain other assets to 150% for exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property.

In addition to imposing higher capital requirements, the capital rules limit a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer requirement effectively increases the minimum required risk-based capital ratios to 7% for common equity Tier 1 capital, 8.5% for Tier 1 capital and 10.5% for Total capital.

In assessing an institution’s capital adequacy, the FDIC takes into consideration not only these numeric factors but also qualitative factors, and has the authority to establish higher capital requirements for individual institutions where necessary.

Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action. Under applicable federal statute, the federal bank regulatory agencies are required to take “prompt corrective action” with respect to institutions that do not meet specified minimum capital requirements. For these purposes, the statute establishes five capital categories: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. Under the implementing regulations, in order to be considered well capitalized, a bank must have a ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.5%, a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%, a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10%, and a leverage ratio of 5%. In order to be considered adequately capitalized, a bank must have the minimum capital ratios required by the regulatory capital rule described above. Institutions with lower capital ratios are assigned to lower capital categories. Based on safety and soundness concerns, a bank may be assigned to a lower capital category than would otherwise apply based on its capital ratios. A bank that is not well capitalized is subject to certain restrictions on brokered deposits and interest rates on deposits. A bank that is not at least adequately capitalized is subject to numerous additional restrictions, and a guaranty by its holding company is required. A bank with a ratio of tangible equity to total assets of 2.0% or less is subject to the appointment of the FDIC as receiver if its capital level does not improve within 90 days.

As of December 31, 2021, the Bank was in compliance with all regulatory capital standards and qualified as “well capitalized.” See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Regulatory Capital Simplification - Community Bank Leverage Ratio. The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (“EGRRCPA”), enacted in May 2018, introduced an optional simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying community banking organizations with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion by instructing the federal banking regulators to establish a single “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” of tangible equity capital divided by average consolidated assets (“CBLR”) of between 8 and 10 percent. Under the statute, any qualifying depository institution or holding company that maintains a leverage ratio exceeding the CBLR will be considered to satisfy the generally applicable leverage and risk-based regulatory capital requirements.

The federal banking regulators jointly issued a final rule under the EGRRCPA, effective January 1, 2020, which provided that a community banking organization with less than $10 billion in assets may elect to use the CBLR capital framework so long as the bank has a Tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9% and limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities. A qualifying bank that elects to use the CBLR framework will be deemed to satisfy the generally applicable leverage and risk-based regulatory capital requirements, will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the prompt corrective action regulations, and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital. In accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act, the federal banking agencies issued a final rule in August 2020, under which the CBLR was lowered to 8% through the end of 2020, will be set at 8.5% for the 2021 calendar year, and will return to 9% on January 1, 2022. We have elected to use the CBLR framework.

Bank Secrecy Act / Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Bank is subject to the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001. These laws and regulations require the Bank to implement policies, procedures, and controls to detect, prevent, and report money laundering and terrorist financing and to verify the identity of their customers. Violations of these requirements can result in substantial civil and criminal sanctions. In addition, provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act require the federal financial institution regulatory agencies to consider the effectiveness of a financial institution's anti-money laundering activities when reviewing mergers and acquisitions.

Transactions with Related Parties. The Bank is subject to the Federal Reserve’s Regulation W, which implements the restrictions of Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act on transactions between a bank and its “affiliates.” The sole “affiliate” of the Bank, as defined in Regulation W, is the Company. Section 23A and Regulation W generally place limits on the amount of a bank’s loans or extensions of credit to, investments in, or certain other transactions with its affiliates, and on the amount of advances to third parties collateralized by the securities or obligations of affiliates. Section 23B and Regulation W also require a bank’s transactions with affiliates to be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the bank, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated companies.

The Bank is also subject to certain restrictions under Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit to the executive officers, directors, principal shareholders of the Bank and the Company, as well as to entities controlled by such persons. Among other things and subject to certain exceptions, these provisions generally require that the Bank’s extensions of credit to the insiders of the Bank and the Company must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with third parties and must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.

Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws. Under the Community Reinvestment Act, every insured depository institution, including the Bank, has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with its safe and sound operation to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The Community Reinvestment Act does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions, nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community. The Community Reinvestment Act requires the depository institution’s record of meeting the credit needs of its community to be assessed and taken into account in the evaluation of certain applications by such institution, such as a merger or the establishment of a branch office by the Bank. An unsatisfactory Community Reinvestment Act examination rating may be used as the basis for the denial of an application. The Bank received a “satisfactory” rating in its most recent Community Reinvestment Act examination.

In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from discriminating in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those statutes. A failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act or the Fair Housing Act or with the federal fair lending regulations implementing those statutes could result in an enforcement action by the FDIC, as well as by the Department of Justice.

The Company’s and the Bank’s main office is located in Washington Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey, in an office building of approximately 13,000 square feet. The main office facilities include teller windows, a lobby area, drive-through windows, automated teller machine, a night depository, and executive and administrative offices.

The Bank also conducts business from a full-service office in Northfield, New Jersey, a full-service office in Washington Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey, a full-service office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and a full-service office in Galloway Township, NJ. These offices were opened by the Bank in September 2002, February 2003, August 2006 and May 2010, respectively. The Northfield office and the Philadelphia office are leased. The Washington Township office was purchased in February 2003. The Bank opened two offices, a full service office in Collingswood, New Jersey, opened in September 2016, and a full service office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, opened December 2016. Both these offices are leased. Management considers the physical condition of all offices to be good and adequate for the conduct of the Bank’s business. At December 31, 2021, net property and equipment totaled approximately $6.3 million.

Item 5. Market for Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The Company's common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol of "PKBK". The number of shareholders of record of common stock as of December 31, 2021, was approximately 245. This does not reflect the number of persons or entities who held stock in nominee or "street" name through various brokerage firms. As of March 11, 2022, there were 11,907641shares of our common stock outstanding.

The Company paid a $0.16 per share quarterly common stock cash dividend in each quarter of 2021. During 2021, the Company paid a total of $7.6 million in common stock cash dividends.

The Company also has 445 shares of 6% non-Cumulative Series B Preferred Stock outstanding at December 31, 2021. The preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder into approximately 137.6 shares of Common Stock at December 31, 2021. Upon full conversion of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company will issue approximately 61,232 shares of Common Stock assuming that the conversion rate does not change. The conversion rate and the total number of shares to be issued would be adjusted for future stock dividends, stock splits and other corporate actions.

The Company has recorded dividends on preferred stock in the approximate amount of $28,200 and $29,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company paid quarterly cash dividends of $15 per share on the preferred stock for the years 2021 and 2020. The preferred stock qualifies, and is accounted, as equity securities and is included in the Company’s Tier I capital since issued.

The timing and amount of future dividends will be within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the consolidated earnings, financial condition, liquidity, and capital requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries, applicable governmental regulations and restrictions, and Board policies, and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.

The Company's ability to pay dividends is substantially dependent upon the dividends it receives from the Bank and is subject to other restrictions. Under current regulations, the Bank's ability to pay dividends is restricted as well.

Under the New Jersey Banking Act of 1948, a bank may declare and pay dividends only if after payment of the dividend the capital stock of the bank will be unimpaired and either the bank will have a surplus of not less than 50% of its capital stock or the payment of the dividend will not reduce the bank's surplus.

Pursuant to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company may not pay a cash dividend on the common stock unless all dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock for the then-current dividend period have been paid or set aside.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Act generally prohibits all payments of dividends by any insured bank that is in default of any assessment to the FDIC. Additionally, because the FDIC may prohibit a bank from engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, it is possible that under certain circumstances the FDIC could claim that a dividend payment constitutes an unsafe or unsound practice. The New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance has similar power to issue cease and desist orders to prohibit what might constitute unsafe or unsound practices. The payment of dividends may also be affected by other factors (e.g., the need to maintain adequate capital or to meet loan loss reserve requirements).

There were no repurchases of the Company’s Common Stock during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

Shareholders wishing to change the name, address or ownership of the Company’s stock, report lost certificates or consolidate accounts are asked to contact the Company’s Transfer Agent and Registrar directly: Computershare Investor Services ("Computershare"), P.O. Box 43078, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-3078. Shareholders may also contact Computershare at 1-800-942-5909 and www.computershare.com.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

We are a bank holding company and are headquartered in Washington Township, New Jersey. Through the Bank, we provide personal and business financial services to individuals and small to mid-sized businesses primarily in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Bank has branches in Galloway Township, Northfield, Washington Township, and Collingswood, New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The vast majority of our revenue and income is currently generated through the Bank.

We manage our Company for the long term. We are focused on the fundamentals of growing customers, loans, deposits and revenue and improving profitability, while investing for the future and managing risk, expenses and capital. We continue to invest in our products, markets and brand, and embrace our commitments to our customers, shareholders, employees and the communities where we do business. Our approach is concentrated on organically growing and deepening client relationships across our businesses that meet our risk/return measures.

We focus on small to mid - sized business and retail customers and offer a range of loan products, deposit services, and other financial products through our retail branches and other channels. The Company's results of operations are dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on its interest earning-assets and the interest expense paid on its interest-bearing liabilities. In our operations, we have three major lines of lending: residential real estate mortgage, commercial real estate mortgage, and construction lending. Our interest income is primarily generated from our lending and investment activities. Our deposit products include checking, savings, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit. The majority of our deposit accounts are obtained through our retail banking business, which provides us with low

cost funding to grow our lending efforts. The Company also generates income from loan and deposit fees and other non-interest related activities. The Company's non-interest expense primarily consists of employee compensation, administration, and other operating expenses.

As of December 31, 2021, we had total assets of $2.14 billion, total liabilities of $1.90 billion, and total shareholders' equity of $232.4 million. Net income available to common shareholders for 2021 was $40.7 million. In 2021, net income available to common shareholders increased 43.4% over the previous year primarily as a result of lower interest expense on deposits, lower provision for loan losses, and higher fee income. Total assets increased 2.8% and total equity increased 14.7% compared to December 31, 2020. We also maintained a strong capital position. Our risk based tier 1 capital ratio was 19.0% at December 31, 2021. During 2021, we returned $9.5 million of capital to our common shareholders through common stock dividends.

Our business operations are subject to risks and uncertainties that could materially affect our operating results. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has posed a significant threat to people's health as well as the global and U.S. economies. Given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the business of the Company, its customers, employees and third-party service providers. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain. There continues to be various other risks and uncertainties that could impact the Company’s businesses and future results, such as changes to the U.S. economic condition, market interest rates, the Federal Reserve monetary policy, other government policies, and actions of regulatory agencies.

Results of Operations

Net Income

We recorded net income available to common shareholders of $40.7 million or $3.43 per basic common share and $3.36 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $28.4 million, or $2.40 per basic common share and $2.37 per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $12.3 million or 43.4%.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $6.5 million, or 10.3%, to $69.1 million for the year ended 2021 compared to $62.6 million for the year ended 2020. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in deposit rates, partially offset by lower interest income from loans due to a decline in the loan portfolio. Interest income for 2021 decreased to $82.1 million, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 2.9%, from $84.5 million for 2020. Interest expense decreased to $13.0 million for 2021, from $21.9 million for 2020, a reduction of $8.9 million, or 40.8%.

Comparative Average Balances, Yields and Rates

The following table presents the average daily balances of assets, liabilities and equity and the respective interest earned or paid on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as average annualized rates, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Interest rate spread is the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is net interest income divided by average earning assets. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances and have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Interest bearing deposits

Interest rate spread 3.03 % 2.89 %

Net interest margin 3.35 % 3.31 %

Net interest income and the net interest margin in any one period can be significantly affected by a variety of factors including the mix and overall size of our earning assets portfolio and the cost of funding those assets. We expect net interest income and our net interest margin to fluctuate based on changes in interest rates and changes in the amount and composition of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Rate/Volume Analysis

For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by the previous rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Provision for loan losses

Our provision for loan losses in each period is driven by net charge-offs and changes to the allowance for loan losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.5 million and $7.6 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. The provision for loan losses as a percentage of interest income was 0.61% and 9.04% in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Our provision for loan losses decreased by $7.1 million in 2021 compared to 2020 primarily as a result of the economic uncertainties related to COVID-19 which were evaluated in 2020. For more information about our provision and allowance for loan and lease losses and our loss experience, see “Risk Management and Asset Quality-Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” and NOTE 4. Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-interest income increased by $4.6 million to $8.8 million in 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to:

•An increase in fee income related to commercial deposit accounts;

The fee income for the year ended December 31, 2021 from the commercial deposit accounts of depositors who do business in the medical-use cannabis industry totaled $5.1 million and is included in service fees on deposit accounts in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Such deposit fee income totaled $2.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. Please refer to Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for our banking services to customers who do business in the medical-use cannabis industry.

Non-Interest Expense

The following table displays the components of non-interest expense for 2021 and 2020.

(Dollars in thousands)

FDIC insurance and other assessments 1,104 805

Non-interest expense increased $2.2 million to $22.5 million for 2021, from $20.3 million for 2020 primarily due to an increase in professional services, and other operating expense. Professional services increased $1.7 million, or 87.4% as a result of our consent order remediation efforts surrounding our BSA operations. Other operating expense increased $0.7 million, or 20.3%, generally due to the growth of the Company. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in compensation and benefits expense.

Income Tax

Income tax expense increased $3.9 million to $13.9 million on income before taxes of $54.9 million for 2021, compared to income tax expense of $10.0 million on income before taxes of $38.9 million for 2020. The effective income tax rates for 2021 and 2020 were 25.4% and 25.7%, respectively.

Financial Condition

General

At December 31, 2021, the Company’s total assets were $2.14 billion, an increase of $58.1 million or 2.8%, from December 31, 2020. The increase in total assets was primarily attributable to an increase in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a decrease in loans. Cash and cash equivalents increased $138.0 million, to $596.6 million at December 31, 2021. Total loans outstanding decreased $81.0 million, primarily due to the decrease in the commercial loan portfolio related to the Paycheck Protection Program loans, which decreased $63.4 million to $27.8 million at December 31, 2021, from $91.2 million at December 31, 2020.

Total liabilities were $1.90 billion at December 31, 2021. This represented a $28.4 million, or 1.5%, increase from $1.88 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase in total liabilities was primarily due to an increase in total deposits, partially offset by a decrease in borrowings of $146.3 million. Total deposits increased $176.0 million, or 11.1%, to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2021, from $1.6 billion at December 31, 2020. Deposits from the medical-use cannabis industries increased to $375.2 million at December 31, 2021, from $259.4 million at December 31, 2020. Total borrowings were $120.9 million at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $146.3 million, compared to December 31, 2020, primarily due to the repayment of $90.0 million in advances from the Federal Reserve Bank's Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility ("PPPLF") for the Small Business Administration ('SBA") of PPP loans, and $56.5 million in pay downs of FHLBNY advances.

Total equity was $232.4 million and $202.6 million at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, for an increase of $29.8 million from December 31, 2020.

The following table presents certain key condensed balance sheet data as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

(Dollars in thousands)

Loans held for sale — 200

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents increased $138.0 million to $596.6 million at December 31, 2021, from $458.6 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of 30.1%. The increase was primarily due to cash received from the increase in deposits from the medical-use cannabis businesses and the repayment of loans, partially offset by the reduction of borrowings.

Investment securities

Total investment securities increased to $23.3 million at December 31, 2021, from $21.1 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $2.2 million or 10.2%. The increase was primarily due to the purchase of $8.7 million of securities classified as held-to-maturity, net of normal pay downs of mainly mortgage-backed securities.

Loans

Loans held for sale (HFS): Loans held for sale are comprised of SBA loans originated for sale. There were no loans held for sale at December 31, 2021 and $200.0 thousand at December 31, 2020.

Loans, net of unearned income: Loans receivable decreased to $1.48 billion at December 31, 2021, from $1.57 billion at December 31, 2020. The decrease was largely driven by the reduction in the commercial loan portfolio attributed to the payoff of Paycheck Protection Program loans.

Allowance for loan losses

Allowance for loan losses increased $0.1 million, to $29.8 million, or 0.5%, at December 31, 2021, from $29.7 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease in the provision was primarily due to the increase in qualitative factors made in 2020 as a result of economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Deposits

At December 31, 2021, the Bank’s total deposits increased to $1.8 billion from $1.6 billion at December 31, 2020, an increase of $176.0 million, or 11.1%. The increase in deposits was primarily driven by the increase in noninterest-bearing deposits from the medical-use cannabis businesses.

Borrowings

At December 31, 2021, total borrowings decreased $146.3 million to $120.9 million at December 31, 2021, from $267.2 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease in borrowings was primarily due to the repayment of $90 million in advances from the Federal Reserve Bank's PPPLF for the SBA of PPP loans, and $56.5 million in pay downs of FHLBNY advances.

Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased to $232.4 million at December 31, 2021, from $200.9 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $31.4 million or 15.6%. Total equity increased to $232.4 million at December 31, 2021, from $202.6 million at December 31, 2020. The increases in total shareholders' equity and total equity were primarily due to the retention of earnings from the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to generate cash to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals, satisfy other contractual obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At December 31, 2021, our cash position was $596.6 million. We invest cash that is in excess of our immediate operating needs primarily in our interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve.

Our primary source of funding has been deposits. Funds from other operations, financing arrangements, investment securities available-for-sale also provide significant sources of funding. The Company seeks to rely primarily on core deposits from customers to provide stable and cost-effective sources of funding to support loan growth. We focus on customer service which we believe has resulted in a history of customer loyalty. Stability, low cost and customer loyalty comprise key characteristics of core deposits.

We also use brokered deposits as a funding source, which is more volatile than core deposits. The Bank also joined Promontory Inter Financial Network to secure an additional alternative funding source. Promontory provides the Bank an additional source of external funds through their weekly CDARS® settlement process. The rates are comparable to brokered deposits and can be obtained within a shorter period time than brokered deposits. While deposit accounts comprise the vast majority of our funding needs, we maintain secured borrowing lines with the FHLBNY. At December 31, 2021, the Company had a $596.5 million line of credit from the FHLBNY, of which $78.2 million was outstanding, $40.0 million was a letter of credit to secure public deposits, and $478.3 million was unused.

Our investment portfolio primarily consists of mortgage-backed available for sale securities issued by US government agency and government sponsored entities. These available for sale securities are readily marketable and are available to meet our additional liquidity needs. At December 31, 2021, the Company's investment securities portfolio classified as available for sale was $13.4 million.

We had unused loan commitments of $117.7 millionat December 31, 2021. Our loan commitments are normally originated with the full amount of collateral. Such commitments have historically been drawn at only a fraction of the total commitment. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The funding requirements for such commitments occur on a measured basis over time and would be funded by normal deposit growth.

Capital Adequacy

Consistent with the goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, the Company and Bank actively seeks to maintain their status as well-capitalized in accordance with regulatory standards. As of December 31, 2021, the Company and the Bank exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements. See Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements for more information about the Company's and the Bank's regulatory capital compliance.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Interest rate sensitivity is an important factor in the management of the composition and maturity configurations of earning assets and funding sources. The primary objective of asset/liability management is to ensure the steady growth of our primary earnings component, net interest income. Net interest income can fluctuate with significant interest rate movements. To lessen the impact of interest rate movements, management endeavors to structure the balance sheet so that repricing opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities in roughly equivalent amounts at approximately the same time intervals. Imbalances in these repricing opportunities at any point in time constitute interest rate sensitivity.

The measurement of our interest rate sensitivity, or "gap," is one of the principal techniques used in asset/liability management. Interest sensitive gap is the dollar difference between assets and liabilities that are subject to interest-rate pricing within a given time period, including both floating rate or adjustable rate instruments and instruments that are approaching maturity.

Our management and the Board of Directors oversee the asset/liability management function through the asset/liability committee of the Board that meets periodically to monitor and manage the balance sheet, control interest rate exposure, and evaluate our pricing strategies. The asset mix of the balance sheet is continually evaluated in terms of several variables: yield, credit quality, appropriate funding sources and liquidity. Management of the liability mix of the balance sheet focuses on expanding the various funding sources.

In theory, interest rate risk can be diminished by maintaining a nominal level of interest rate sensitivity. In practice, this is made difficult by a number of factors, including cyclical variation in loan demand, different impacts on interest-sensitive assets and liabilities when interest rates change, and the availability of funding sources. Accordingly, we undertake to manage the interest-rate sensitivity gap by adjusting the maturity of and establishing rates on the earning asset portfolio and certain interest-bearing liabilities commensurate with management's expectations relative to market interest rates. Management generally attempts to maintain a balance between rate-sensitive assets and liabilities as the exposure period is lengthened to minimize our overall interest rate risk.

The interest rate sensitivity position as of December 31, 2021 is presented in the following table. Assets and liabilities are scheduled based on maturity or re-pricing data except for mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, which are based on prevailing prepayment assumptions and expected maturities and deposits which are based on recent retention experience of core deposits. The difference between rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities, or the interest rate sensitivity gap, is shown at the bottom of the table.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, we engage in financial transactions that are not recorded on the balance sheet, or may be recorded on the balance sheet in amounts that are different from the full contract or notional amount of the transaction. Our off-balance sheet arrangements include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and other commitments. These transactions are primarily designed to meet the financial needs of our customers.

We enter into commitments to lend funds to customers, which are usually at a stated interest rate, if funded, and for specific purposes and time periods. When we make commitments, we are exposed to credit risk. However, the maximum credit risk for these commitments will generally be lower than the contractual amount because a significant portion of these commitments is expected to expire without being used by the customer. In addition, we manage the potential risk in commitments to lend by limiting the total amount of commitments, by monitoring maturity structure of these commitments and by applying the same credit standards for these commitments as for all of our credit activities.

For commitments to lend, we generally require collateral or a guarantee. We may require various types of collateral, including accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties. Collateral requirements for each loan or commitment may vary based on the commitment type and our assessment of a customer’s credit risk according to the specific credit underwriting, including credit terms and structure.

Commitments to extend credit, or net unfunded loan commitments, represent arrangements to lend funds or provide liquidity subject to specified contractual conditions. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates, may require payment of a fee, and contain termination clauses in the event the customer’s credit quality deteriorates. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, unused commitments to extend credit amounted to approximately $117.7 million and $144.6 million, respectively. Commitments to fund fixed-rate loans were immaterial at December 31, 2021. Variable-rate commitments are generally issued for less than one year and carry market rates of interest. Such instruments are not likely to be affected by annual rate caps triggered by rising interest rates. Management believes that off-balance sheet risk is not material to the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, standby letters of credit with customers were $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2021, we had contractual obligations primarily relating to commitments to extent credits, deposits, secured and unsecured borrowings, and operating leases. We have adequate resources to fund all unfunded commitments to the extent required and meet all contractual obligations as they come due. Please refer to Notes 6, 7, 9, and 15 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for detailed information regarding our contractual obligations.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements included in this document have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

Our primary assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates, however, do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation. In a period of rapidly rising interest rates, the liquidity and maturities of our assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

The principal effect of inflation on earnings, as distinct from levels of interest rates, is in the area of non-interest expense. Expense items such as employee compensation, employee benefits and occupancy and equipment costs may be subject to increases as a result of inflation. An additional effect of inflation is the possible increase in the dollar value of the collateral securing loans that we have made. We are unable to determine the extent, if any, to which properties securing our loans have appreciated in dollar value due to inflation.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 - Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Consolidated Financial Statements. As disclosed in Note 1, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses: Our allowances for loan and lease losses represents management's best estimate of probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio excluding those loans accounted for under fair value. Our process for determining the allowance for loan and lease losses is discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We maintain the ALLL at levels that we believe to be appropriate to absorb estimated probable credit losses incurred in the loan and lease portfolios as of the balance sheet date. Our determination of the allowances is based on periodic evaluations of the

loan and lease portfolios and other relevant factors. These critical estimates include significant use of our own historical data and other qualitative, quantitative data. These evaluations are inherently subjective, as they require material estimates and may be susceptible to significant change. Our allowance for loan and lease losses is comprised of two components. The specific allowance covers impaired loans and is calculated on an individual loan basis. The general based component covers loans and leases on which there are incurred losses that are not yet individually identifiable. The allowance calculation and determination process is dependent on the use of key assumptions. Key reserve assumptions and estimation processes react to and are influenced by observed changes in loan portfolio performance experience, the financial strength of the borrower, projected industry outlook, and economic conditions.

The process of determining the level of the allowance for loan and lease losses requires a high degree of judgment. To the extent actual outcomes differ from our estimates, additional provision for loan and lease losses may be required that would reduce future earnings.

Fair Value Estimates:ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements defines fair value as a market-based measurement and is the price that would be received to sell a financial asset or paid to transfer a financial liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement costs). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, a fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlations or other means.

Level 3 Inputs - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity's own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

The majority of our assets recorded at fair value are our investment securities available for sale. The fair value of our available for sale securities are provided by independent third-party valuation services. We also may have small SBA loans recorded at fair value, which represents the face value of the guaranteed portion of the SBA loans pending settlement. Other real estate owned (OREO) is recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis and is based on the values of independent third-party full appraisals, less costs to sell (a range of 5% to 10%). Appraisals are updated every 12 months or sooner if we have identified possible further deterioration in value. Refer to Note 16 - Fair Value in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Income Taxes:In the normal course of business, we and our subsidiaries enter into transactions for which the tax treatment is unclear or subject to varying interpretations. We evaluate and assess the relative risks and merits of the tax treatment of transactions, filing positions, filing methods and taxable income calculations after considering statutes, regulations, and other information, and maintain tax accruals consistent with our evaluation of these relative risks and merits. The result of our evaluation and assessment is by its nature an estimate.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that ultimately would be sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The evaluation of a tax position taken is considered by itself and not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax

positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Current Expected Credit Losses: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted a new accounting standard, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, referred to as Current Expected Credit Loss, or CECL, requires financial institutions to make periodic estimates of lifetime expected credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost and recognize the expected credit losses as allowances. This would likely require us to increase our allowance for loan losses, and to greatly increase the types of data we would need to collect and review to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for loan and debt securities. For public business entities except smaller reporting entities ("SRCs"), the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. CECL will be effective for SEC filers which are SRCs and all other nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all entities, early adoption will continue to be allowed. As a small reporting company, CECL is not effective for the Company until after December 15, 2022.

Report On Management’s Assessment Of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

To The Shareholders Of Parke Bancorp, Inc.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a- 15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements prepared for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Under supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Parke Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Parke Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Allowance for Loan Losses – Qualitative Factors

The allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2021 was $29.9 million. As described in Notes 1 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses and represents an amount which, in management’s judgement, will be adequate to absorb losses on existing loans.

The allowance consists of specific and general components in the amounts of $0.6 million and $29.3 million, respectively.

The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. The Company measures impairment and the related asset specific allowance for impaired loans based on the difference between the recorded investment of the loan and the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate of the loan. If the loan is collateral dependent, the Company measures impairment based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral, which the Company determines based on the current fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs, instead of discounted cash flows. Loans are identified as collateral dependent if the Company believes that collateral is the sole source of repayment.

The general component is based on historical losses, general economic conditions, and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to the Company. The historical loss ratio and valuation allowance are established for each pool of similar loans and updated periodically based on actual charge-off experience and current events. The qualitative risk factors are generally determined by evaluating, among other things: (i) lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices; (ii) national and local economic trends and conditions; (iii) nature and

volume of the portfolio and terms of loans; (iv) experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff; (v) volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans as well as other loan modifications; (vi) quality of the Company's loan review system; (vii) existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations. The evaluation of the qualitative factor adjustments requires a significant amount of judgement by management and involves a high degree of subjectivity.

We identified the qualitative factor portion of the general reserve component of the allowance for loan losses as a critical audit matter as auditing the underlying qualitative factors required significant auditor judgment as amounts determined by management rely on analysis that is highly subjective and includes significant estimation uncertainty.

Our audit procedures related to the qualitative factors included the following, among others:

–We obtained an understanding of the relevant controls related to management’s establishment of the factor, assessment, and review of the qualitative factors, and tested such controls for design and operating effectiveness, including controls over management’s establishment, review and approval of the qualitative factors and the data used in determining the qualitative factors.

–We obtained an understanding of how management developed the estimates and related assumptions, including:

–Testing completeness and accuracy of key data inputs used in forming assumptions or calculations and testing the reliability of the underlying data on which these factors are based by comparing information to source documents and external information sources as well as evaluating the estimated correlation to potential loss.

–Evaluating the reasonableness of the qualitative factors established by management as compared to the underlying internal or external information sources.

PARKE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business:

Parke Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company, we, us, our”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Sewell, New Jersey. Through subsidiaries, the Company provides individuals, corporations and other businesses, and institutions with commercial and retail banking services, principally loans and deposits. The Company was incorporated in January 2005 under the laws of the State of New Jersey for the sole purpose of becoming the holding company of Parke Bank (the "Bank").

The Bank is a commercial bank, which was incorporated on August 25, 1998, and commenced operations on January 28, 1999. The Bank is chartered by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank maintains seven branch offices with its principal office at 601 Delsea Drive, Sewell, New Jersey, and additional branch office locations; 631 Tilton Road, Northfield, New Jersey, 567 Egg Harbor Road, Washington Township, New Jersey, 67 East Jimmie Leeds Road, Galloway Township, New Jersey, 1150 Haddon Avenue, Collingswood, New Jersey, 1610 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and 1032 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the 2021 presentation, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The accounting policies that materially affect the determination of financial position, results of operations and cash flows are summarized below.

Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Parke Bank. Also included are the accounts of Parke Direct Lending LLC ("PDL"), a joint venture formed in 2018 to originate short-term alternative real estate loan products. Parke Bank had a 51% ownership interest in the joint venture. The joint venture was liquidated in 2021. Parke Capital Trust I, Parke Capital Trust II and Parke Capital Trust III are wholly-owned subsidiaries but are not consolidated because they do not meet the requirements for consolidation under applicable accounting guidance. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and cash equivalents: Consists of cash and due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits and other-short term investments, all of which, if applicable, have stated maturities of three months or less when acquired.

Investment Securities: Debt securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. We classify debt securities as held to maturity if we have the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. We report securities held to maturity on our consolidated balance sheets at carrying value, which generally equals amortized cost. Amortized cost reflects historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts and any previously recorded impairments. Debt securities not classified as held to maturity or trading are designated as securities available for sale ("AFS") and carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We did not have any securities classified as trading securities during 2021 or 2020.

Interest on debt securities, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is included in interest income. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted to interest income at a constant effective yield over the contractual lives of the securities. Realized gains and losses from the sales of debt securities are determined on a specific security basis. These securities gains/(losses) are included in other noninterest income.

On at least a quarterly basis, we review all debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position for Other Than Temporary Impairment ("OTTI"). An investment security is deemed impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the security’s effective yield, is less than the security’s amortized cost, OTTI is considered to have occurred. For a debt security for which there has been a decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis, if we intend to sell the security, or if it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis, an OTTI write-down is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the amortized cost basis and fair value of the security. For debt securities that are considered OTTI and that we do not intend to sell and will not be required to sell prior to recovery of our amortized cost basis, we separate the amount of the impairment into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the present value

of its expected future cash flows discounted at the security’s effective yield. The remaining difference between the security’s fair value and the present value of expected future cash flows is due to factors that are not credit-related and, therefore, is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Restricted Stock: Restricted stock includes investments in the common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) and the Atlantic Central Bankers Bank for which no readily available market exists and, accordingly, is carried at cost. The stocks have no quoted market value and are subject to redemption restrictions. Management reviews these stocks for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis in the stock. The stocks’ values are determined by the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than by recognizing temporary declines. Management considers such criteria as the significance of the decline in net assets, if any, the length of time this situation has persisted and the financial performance of the issuers. In addition, management considers any commitments by the FHLBNY to make payments required by law or regulation, the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the customer base of the FHLBNY and the liquidity position of the FHLBNY.
