The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of BayFirst Financial Corp. for that date.

The Company currently operates one business segment. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company discontinued the Bank’s nationwide residential mortgage loan segment. The operations of this segment are reported as discontinued operations.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material effect on previously reported net income, shareholders’ equity, or cash flows.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. For interim reporting purposes, the Company follows the same basic accounting policies and considers each interim period as an integral part of an annual period.

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The most significant estimates relate to the ACL, government guaranteed loan servicing rights, and fair value of government guaranteed loans HFI.

Emerging Growth Company Status: The Company is expected to remain an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act, through December 31, 2026. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period when complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of this extended transition period, which means these financial statements, as well as financial statements they file in the future for as long as the Company remains an emerging growth company, will be subject to all new or revised accounting standards generally applicable to private companies.

Contingencies: Due to the nature of their activities, the Company is at times engaged in various legal proceedings that arise in the course of normal business, some of which were outstanding as of March 31, 2025. Although the ultimate outcome of all claims and lawsuits outstanding as of March 31, 2025 cannot be ascertained at this time, it is the opinion of management that these matters, when resolved, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted:

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06 “Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative” (“ASU 2023-06”). ASU 2023-06 amends the ASC to incorporate certain disclosure requirements from SEC Release No. 33-10532 - Disclosure Update and Simplification that was issued in 2018. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). This ASU was issued to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures.

The ASU addresses investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. Retrospective application in all prior periods is permitted. The amendments in this standard will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses Disclosure (“ASU 2024-03”). This ASU was issued to improve the disclosures about public business entity’s expenses and address investor’s requests for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments in this standard will be effective for the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2027 and subsequent interim periods. The amendments should be applied either prospectively to the financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this update or retrospectively to any and all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact these changes may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company discontinued the Bank’s nationwide residential mortgage loan production operations. The decision was based on a number of strategic priorities and other factors, including the precipitous decline in mortgage volumes and the uncertain outlook for mortgage lending over future periods. As a result of these actions, the Company classified the operations of the residential mortgage lending division as discontinued under ASC 205-20. There were no assets or liabilities at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 or operating results for the current period.

The following presents operating results of the discontinued operations of the residential mortgage lending division for the three months ended March 31, 2024:

The amortized costs, gross unrealized gains and losses, and estimated fair values of investment securities available for sale and investment securities held to maturity at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 as well as the ACL for investment securities held to maturity at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are summarized as follows:

December 31, 2024			Amortized Cost						Gross Unrealized Gains						Gross Unrealized Losses						Fair Value						ACL
Investment securities held to maturity:
Mortgage-backed securities:
Corporate bonds			$	2,500					$	—					$	(154)					$	2,346					$	12
Total investment securities held to maturity			$	2,500					$	—					$	(154)					$	2,346					$	12

`

The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities as of March 31, 2025 are shown in the table below by contractual maturity. Actual timing may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

No ACL for investment securities AFS was needed at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Declines in the fair value of the AFS investment portfolio are believed by management to be unrelated to credit losses. When evaluating an investment for credit loss, management considers, among other things, the financial condition of the issuer through the review of credit ratings and, if necessary, corporate financial statements; adverse conditions specifically related to the security such as past due principal or interest; underlying assets that collateralize the debt security; other economic conditions and demographics; and the intent and ability of the Company to hold the investment until the loss position is recovered. Any unrealized losses were largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time of purchase. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or market yields for the investments decline. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. At March 31, 2025, the Company did not intend to sell and believed it was not likely to be required to sell the available for sale securities that were in a loss position prior to full recovery.

As of March 31, 2025, there were no past due principal and interest payments associated with the HTM securities. The Company monitors the credit quality of debt securities held to maturity quarterly through the use of credit ratings. However, the corporate bonds that are held to maturity have no credit rating and the corporate bonds in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2025 are not material to the financial statements. There was an ACL of $12 on corporate bonds HTM at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which was calculated based on applying the long-term historical credit loss rate for similarly rated securities.

The following table presents the activity in the ACL for investment securities HTM by major security type for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024:
