TE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
:
The consolidated financial statements consist of CF Bankshares Inc. (the 
"Holding Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CFBank, National 
Association ("CFBank"). The Holding Company and CFBank are sometimes 
collectively referred to herein as the "Company." Intercompany transactions 
and balances are eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited 
interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the 
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") 
and in compliance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). 
Because this report is based on an interim period, certain information and 
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in 
accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited 
interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary 
for a fair presentation of the Company's financial condition and the results 
of operations for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal 
recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q. The financial 
performance reported for the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2024 
is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full 
year. This information should be read in conjunction with the Company's latest 
Annual Report to Stockholders and Annual Report on Form 10-K on file with the 
SEC. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in 
Note 1 to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the 
Company's 2023 Annual Report to Stockholders included in the Company's Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (referred to herein 
as the "2023 Audited Financial Statements"). The Company has consistently 
followed those policies in preparing this Form 10-Q.
Loans and Leases:
Loans and leases that management has the intent and ability to hold for the 
foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal 
balance outstanding, adjusted for purchase premiums and discounts, deferred 
loan fees and costs and an allowance for credit losses on loans and leases. 
Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination 
fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in 
interest income using the level yield method without anticipating prepayments.

The accrual of interest income on all classes of loans, except other consumer 
loans, is discontinued and the loan is placed on nonaccrual status at the time 
the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in process 
of collection. Other consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 90 
days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan 
for all classes of loans. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or 
charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is 
considered doubtful. Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days still on 
accrual include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively 
evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans. 
Commercial, multi-family residential real estate loans and commercial real 
estate loans placed on nonaccrual status are individually classified as 
impaired loans.
All interest accrued but not received for each loan placed on nonaccrual 
status is reversed against interest income in the period in which it is placed 
on nonaccrual status. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the 
cash-basis or cost recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual 
status. Loans are considered for return to accrual status provided all the 
principal and interest amounts that are contractually due are brought current, 
there is a current and well documented credit analysis, there is reasonable 
assurance of repayment of principal and interest, and the customer has 
demonstrated sustained, amortizing payment performance of at least six months.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Allowance for credit losses on investment securities available for sale:
For investment securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position, 
the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely 
than not that it will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its 
amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or 
requirement to sell is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written 
down to fair value through income. For investment securities available for 
sale that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates 
whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other 
factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which 
fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the 
security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to 
the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit 
loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the 
security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the 
present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the 
amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses 
is recorded, limited to the amount that the fair value is less than the 
amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses that have not been recorded through an 
allowance for credit losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. 
Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are reported in the income 
statement as a component of the provision for credit loss. The Company has 
made the accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on 
investment securities available for sale from the estimate of credit losses. 
Investment securities available for sale are charged off against the allowance 
or, in the absence of any allowance, written down through the income statement 
when deemed uncollectible or when either of the aforementioned criteria 
regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. The Company did not record an 
allowance for credit losses on its investment securities available for sale as 
the unrealized losses were attributable to changes in interest rates, not 
credit quality
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans and Leases ("ACL - Loans"):
The ACL - Loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' 
amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on 
loans over the contractual term. Loans and leases are collectively referred to 
as loans for the purpose of discussing the allowance for credit losses. Loans 
are charged off against the allowance when the uncollectibility of the loan is 
confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts 
previously charged off and expected to be charged off. Adjustments to the ACL- 
Loans are reported in the income statement as a component of provision for 
credit loss. The Company has made the accounting policy election to exclude 
accrued interest receivable on loans from the estimate of credit losses. 
Further information regarding the policies and methodology used to estimate 
the ACL - Loans is detailed in Note 4 -
Loans and Leases
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures:
The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is a 
liability account representing expected credit losses over the contractual 
period for which the Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from a 
contractual obligation to extend credit. No allowance is recognized if the 
Company has the unconditional right to cancel the obligation. Off-balance 
sheet credit exposures primarily consist of amounts available under 
outstanding lines of credit and letters of credit. For the period of exposure, 
the estimate of expected credit losses considers both the likelihood that 
funding will occur and the amount expected to be funded over the estimated 
remaining life of the commitment or other off-balance sheet exposure. The 
likelihood and expected amount of funding are based on historical utilization 
rates. The amount of the allowance represents management's best estimate of 
expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over the 
contractual life of the commitment. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit 
exposures is adjusted through the income statement as a component of provision 
for credit loss.
Joint Ventures:
The Holding Company has contributed funds into a series of joint ventures for 
the purpose of allocating excess liquidity into higher earning assets while 
diversifying its revenue sources. The joint ventures are engaged in shorter 
term operating activities related to single family real estate developments. 
Income is recognized based on a rate of return on the outstanding investment 
balance. As units are sold, the Holding Company receives an additional 
incentive payment.
Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC):
CFBank has invested in low income housing tax credits through funds that 
assist corporations in investing in limited partnerships and limited liability 
companies that own, develop and operate low income residential rental 
properties for purposes of qualifying for the LIHTC. These investments are 
accounted for under the proportional amortization method which recognizes the 
amortization of the investment in proportion to the tax credit and other tax 
benefits received.
Investment in Real Estate Entity:
CFBank made an equity investment as a non-managing member in the real estate 
entity that owns and operates the building that houses the Company's 
headquarters. Upon applying Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, the 
Company determined that CFBank is not the primary beneficiary of the real 
estate entity, a variable interest entity. Therefore, the real estate entity 
is not consolidated in the Company's financial statements and is instead 
accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As a result, the 
investment of $
1.2
million is shown in Accrued interest receivable and other assets on the 
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The maximum exposure to loss related to this 
investment was $
1.2
million at March 31, 2024.

Earnings Per Common Share:
The two-class method is used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings 
per share. Under the two-class method, earnings available to common 
stockholders for the period are allocated between common stockholders and 
participating securities (Series D Preferred Stock) according to dividends 
declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. 
There were no anti-dilutive securities during the three months ended March 31, 
2024 and 2023. The factors used in the earnings per share computation follow:

Dividend Restrictions:
Banking regulations require us to maintain certain capital levels and may 
limit the dividends paid by CFBank to the Holding Company or by the Holding 
Company to stockholders. The ability of the Holding Company to pay dividends 
on its common stock is dependent upon the amount of cash and liquidity 
available at the Holding Company level, as well as the receipt of dividends 
and other distributions from CFBank to the extent necessary to fund such 
dividends. The Holding Company is a legal entity that is separate and distinct 
from CFBank, which has no obligation to make any dividends or other funds 
available for the payment of dividends by the Holding Company. The Holding 
Company also is subject to various legal and regulatory policies and 
guidelines impacting the Holding Company's ability to pay dividends on its 
stock. In addition, the Holding Company's ability to pay dividends on its 
stock is conditioned upon the payment, on a current basis, of quarterly 
interest payments on the subordinated debentures underlying the Company's 
trust preferred securities. Finally, under the terms of the Holding Company's 
fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes, the Holding Company's ability to 
pay dividends on its stock is conditioned upon the Holding Company continuing 
to make required principal and interest payments, and not incurring an event 
of default, with respect to the subordinated notes.
Recent and Future Accounting Pronouncements and Developments:
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02 "Financial Instruments - Credit 
Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures." 
This ASU eliminated the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings 
("TDRs") for creditors in ASC 310-40 and required entities to evaluate all 
receivable modifications under ASC 310-20 to determine whether a modification 
made to a borrower results in a new loan or a continuation of the existing 
loan. The amended guidance added enhanced disclosures for creditors with 
respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing 
financial difficulty. The amended guidance also required disclosure of current 
period gross charge-offs by year of origination within the vintage disclosures 
required by ASC 326. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023. The 
adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact to our Consolidated 
Financial Statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 
848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial 
Reporting". The amendments in this update provide optional guidance for a 
limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or 
recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. They 
provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted 
accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other 
transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. As 
subsequently amended, this update is effective December 31, 2024. The adoption 
of ASU No. 2020-04 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated 
Financial Statements.
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-02, "Investments - Equity Method 
and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit 
Structures Using Proportional Amortization Method". The ASU is intended to 
improve the accounting and disclosures for investments in tax credit 
structures. It allows reporting entities to elect to adopt for qualifying tax 
equity investments using the proportional amortization method, regardless of 
the program giving rise to the related income tax credits. For public business 
entities, the amendments were effective for fiscal years beginning after 
December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The 
adoption of ASU No. 2023-02 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated 
Financial Statements.
Future Accounting Matters:
In August 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-05, "Business Combinations - Joint 
Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement". 
The amendments in this ASU require that a joint venture, upon formation, apply 
a new basis of accounting and initially measure assets and liabilities at fair 
value, with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the 
business combinations guidance. This ASU will be effective prospectively for 
all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 
2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the 
impact of the ASU on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): 
Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." The amendments in this ASU 
apply to all public entities that are required to report segment information 
in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. The amendments in 
the ASU are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements 
primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The 
amendments require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim 
basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief 
operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of 
segment profit or loss. Public entities are required to disclose, on an annual 
and interim basis, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and 
a description of its composition. In addition, public entities must provide 
all annual disclosures about a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets 
currently required by FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, in interim 
periods. The amendments clarify that if the CODM uses more than one measure of 
a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how 
to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those 
additional measures of segment profit. However, at least one of the reported 
segment profit or loss measures (or the single reported measure, if only one 
is disclosed) should be the measure that is most consistent with the 
measurement principles used in measuring the corresponding amounts in the 
public entity's consolidated financial statements. The amendments require that 
a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation 
of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in 
assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Finally, 
the amendments require that a public entity that has a single reportable 
segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in the ASU and 
all existing segment disclosures in ASC Topic 280. The ASU is effective for 
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within 
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. A 
public entity should apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods 
presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense 
categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the 
significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period 
of adoption. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material 
impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures as 
the Company has one operating segment.
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): 
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". The FASB issued ASU 2023-09 to 
address 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. ASU 2023-09 is to be applied 
on a prospective basis and is effective for annual periods beginning after 
December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. ASU 2023-09 will impact 
income tax disclosures, and the Company does not expect a material impact to 
the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
General Litigation
The
Company is subject to claims and lawsuits that arise primarily in the ordinary 
course of business. In the opinion of management, the disposition or ultimate 
resolution of such claims and lawsuits is not anticipated to have a material 
adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations 
and cash flows of the Company.

NOTE 2 - REVENUE RECOGNITION
GAAP requires reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and 
uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to 
provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity 
to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers 
in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to 
receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance 
obligations are satisfied.
The majority of our revenue-generating transactions are not from contracts 
with customers, including revenue generated from financial instruments, such 
as our loans, letters of credit, derivatives and investment securities, as 
well as revenue generated from our mortgage activities related to net gains on 
sale of loans.
All of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers is recognized 
within Noninterest income. Descriptions of revenue-generating activities which 
are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Income as components of 
Noninterest income are as follows:

Service charges on deposit accounts - these represent general service fees for 
monthly account maintenance and activity, or transaction-based fees, and 
consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue (service period), 
item-based revenue or some other individual attribute-based revenue. Revenue 
is recognized when our performance obligation is completed which is generally 
monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been 
completed (such as a wire transfer). Payments for such performance obligations 
are generally received at the time the performance obligations are satisfied.

Unrealized loss is less than $
1
resulting in rounding to zero.

The unrealized losses at March 31, 2024 were related to
one
corporate debt security,
one
Mortgage-backed security and
one
U.S. Treasury. The unrealized losses at December 31, 2023 were related to
one
Corporate debt security,
one
Mortgage-backed security and
two
U.S. Treasuries.
Because the decline in fair value was attributable to changes in market 
conditions, and not credit quality, and because the Company did not have the 
intent to sell these securities and it was likely that it would not be 
required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery, the 
Company has not recorded an allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2024 and 
December 31, 2023.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans (ACL - Loans)
The ACL - Loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized 
cost basis of loans and leases to present the net amount expected to be 
collected on loans over the contractual term. The ACL - Loans is adjusted by 
the provision for credit losses, which is reported in earnings, and reduced by 
charge offs for loans, net of recoveries. Provision for credit losses on loans 
reflects the totality of actions taken on all loans for a particular period 
including any necessary increases or decreases in the allowance related to 
changes in credit loss expectations associated with specific loans or pools of 
loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when the uncollectibility 
of the loan is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of 
amounts previously charged off and expected to be charged off.

The ACL - Loans represents the Company's best estimate of current expected 
credit losses (CECL) on loans using relevant available information, from 
internal and external sources, related to past events, current conditions, and 
reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience 
provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. The CECL 
calculation is performed and evaluated quarterly and losses are estimated over 
the expected life of the loan. The level of the ACL - Loans is believed to be 
adequate to absorb all expected future losses inherent in the loan portfolio 
at the measurement date.
In calculating the ACL - Loans, the loan portfolio was pooled into loan 
segments with similar risk characteristics. Common characteristics include the 
type or purpose of the loan, underlying collateral and historical/expected 
credit loss patterns. In developing the loan segments, the Company analyzed 
the degree of correlation in how loans within each portfolio respond when 
subjected to varying economic conditions and scenarios as well as other 
portfolio stress factors.
The expected credit losses are measured over the life of each loan segment 
utilizing the average charge-off methodology combined with economic forecast 
models to estimate the current expected credit loss inherent in the loan 
portfolio. This approach is also leveraged to estimate the expected credit 
losses associated with unfunded loan commitments incorporating expected 
utilization rates.
The Company sub-segmented certain commercial portfolios by risk level where 
appropriate. The Company utilized a one-year reasonable and supportable 
economic forecast period.
The Company qualitatively adjusts model results for risk factors that are not 
inherently considered in the historical losses, but are nonetheless relevant 
in assessing the expected credit losses within the loan portfolio. These 
adjustments may increase or decrease the estimate of expected credit losses 
based upon the assessed level of risk for each qualitative factor. The various 
risks that may be considered in making qualitative adjustments include, among 
other things, the impact of (i) changes in economic conditions, (ii) changes 
in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, (iii) changes in the 
existence, growth and effect of any concentrations in credit, (iv) changes in 
lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards 
and practices for collections, write-offs, and recoveries, (v) changes in the 
quality of the credit review function, (vi) changes in the experience, ability 
and depth of lending management and staff, (vii) changes in the volume and 
severity of past due and adversely classified loans and the volume of 
non-accrual loans, (viii) changes in the value of underlying collateral for 
collateral-dependent loans, and (ix) other environmental factors such as 
regulatory, legal and technological considerations, as well as competition.

In some cases, management may determine that an individual loan exhibits 
unique risk characteristics which differentiate the loan from other loans 
within the loan segments. In such cases, the loans are evaluated for expected 
credit losses on an individual basis and excluded from the collective 
evaluation. Specific reserves in the allowance for credit losses are 
determined by analyzing the borrower's ability to repay amounts owed, 
collateral deficiencies, the relative risk grade of the loan and economic 
conditions affecting the borrower's industry, among other things. A loan is 
considered to be collateral dependent when, based upon management's 
assessment, the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is 
expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the 
collateral. In such cases, expected credit losses are based on the fair value 
of the collateral at the measurement date, adjusted for estimated selling 
costs if satisfaction of the loan depends on the sale of the collateral. The 
fair value of collateral supporting collateral dependent loans is evaluated on 
a quarterly basis.

Determining fair value for collateral dependent loans requires obtaining a 
current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount 
factor, which includes selling costs if applicable, to the value. The fair 
value of real estate is generally based on appraisals by qualified licensed 
appraisers. The appraisers typically determine the value of the real estate by 
utilizing an income or market valuation approach. If an appraisal is not 
available, the fair value may be determined by using a cash flow analysis. The 
fair value of other collateral such as business assets is typically 
ascertained by assessing, either singularly or some combination of, asset 
appraisals, accounts receivable aging reports, inventory listings and or 
customer financial statements. Both appraised values and values based on 
borrower's financial information are discounted as considered appropriate 
based on age and quality of the information and current market conditions.

The tables below present the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent 
loans by loan class and their respective collateral types, which are 
individually evaluated to determine expected credit losses.

Loan Modifications:
The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 during the first quarter of 2023. This 
amendment eliminated the TDR recognition and measurement guidance and, 
instead, required that an entity evaluate (consistent with the accounting for 
other loan modifications) whether the modification represents a new loan or a 
continuation of an existing loans. The amendments also enhanced existing 
disclosure requirements and introduced new requirements related to certain 
modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial 
difficulty.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company did
no
t modify any loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.
Credit Quality Indicators:
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant 
information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as 
current financial information, historical payment experience, credit 
documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other 
factors. Management analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to 
credit risk. This analysis includes commercial, commercial real estate and 
multi-family residential real estate loans. Internal loan reviews for these 
loan types are performed at least annually, and more often for loans with 
higher credit risk. Adjustments to loan risk ratings are made based on the 
reviews and at any time information is received that may affect risk ratings. 
The following definitions are used for risk ratings:
Special Mention
. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves 
management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses 
may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of 
CFBank's credit position at some future date.
Substandard
. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current 
net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if 
any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that 
jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct 
possibility that there will be some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful
. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those 
classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses 
make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing 
facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria to be classified into one of the above 
categories are considered to be "not rated" or "pass-rated" loans. Loans 
listed as not rated are primarily groups of homogeneous loans. Past due 
information is the primary credit indicator for groups of homogenous loans. 
Loans listed as pass-rated loans are loans that are subject to internal loan 
reviews and are determined not to meet the criteria required to be classified 
as special mention, substandard or doubtful.
The following table summarizes the risk grading of the Company's loan 
portfolio by loan class and by year of origination for the years indicated

as of March 31, 2024. Consumer and Single-family residential loans are not 
risk graded. For purposes of this disclosure, those loans are classified in 
the following manner: loans that are 89 days or less past due and accruing are 
"performing" loans and loans greater than 89 days past due or in nonaccrual 
are "nonperforming" loans.

"performing" loans and loans greater than 89 days past due or in nonaccrual 
are "nonperforming" loans.

NOTE 5 - LEASES
A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the 
right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a 
period of time in exchange for consideration.
The leases in which the Company is the lessee are comprised of real estate 
property for branches and offices and for equipment with terms extending 
through
2034
. All of our leases are classified as operating leases. Operating lease 
agreements are required to be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as 
a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a corresponding operating lease liability. 
The Company does not have any leases classified as finance leases.
The calculated amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities are impacted by 
the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to present value the 
minimum lease payments. The Company's lease agreements often include one or 
more options to renew at the Company's discretion which were considered, as 
applicable, in the calculation of the ROU assets and lease liabilities. If, at 
lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to 
be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the 
calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. The Company uses the 
discount rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily 
determinable. As this rate is not readily determinable in our operating 
leases, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease 
inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term. At March 31, 2024, 
the weighted-average remaining lease term for the Company's operating leases 
was
8.8
years and the weighted-average discount rate was
7.24
%. At December 31, 2023, the weighted-average remaining lease term for the 
Company's operating leases was
8.9
years and the weighted-average discount rate was
7.21
%.
The Company's operating lease costs were $
180
for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $
124
for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The variable lease costs totaled $
191
for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $
164
for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As the Company elected not to 
separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets 
and instead to account for them as a single lease component, the variable 
lease cost primarily represents variable payments such as common area 
maintenance and utilities.

NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid 
to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the 
asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on 
the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to 
measure fair values:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in 
active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement 
date.
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such 
as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets 
that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be 
corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company's own 
assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in 
pricing an asset or liability.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate 
the fair value of each type of asset and liability:
Securities available for sale
:
The fair value of securities available for sale is determined using pricing 
models that vary based on asset class and include available trade, bid and 
other market information or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique 
widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying 
exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying 
on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2).

Derivatives
:
The fair value of derivatives, which includes interest rate lock commitments 
and interest rate swaps, is based on valuation models using observable market 
data as of the measurement date (Level 2).
TBA mortgage - backed securities:
To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate 
lock commitments to borrowers, the Company enters into either a forward sales 
contract to sell loans to investors when using best efforts or a trade of 
"to-be-announced (TBA)" mortgage-backed securities for mandatory delivery. The 
forward sales contracts lock in a price for the sale of loans with similar 
characteristics to the specific rate lock commitments based on a valuation 
model using observable market data for pricing commitments (Level 2).
Impaired loans:
The fair value of collateral dependent impaired loans with specific reserves 
in the ACL - Loans is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These 
appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of 
approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are 
routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for 
differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such 
adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 
classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Appraisals for collateral-dependent impaired loans are performed by certified 
general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential 
appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have 
been reviewed and verified by a third-party appraisal management company 
approved by the Board of Directors annually. Once received, the loan officer 
or a member of the credit department reviews the assumptions and approaches 
utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in 
comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or 
industry-wide statistics. Appraisals are updated as needed based on facts and 
circumstances associated with the individual properties. Real estate 
appraisals typically incorporate measures such as recent sales prices for 
comparable properties. Appraisers may make adjustments to the sales prices of 
the comparable properties as deemed appropriate based on the age, condition or 
general characteristics of the subject property. Management applies an 
additional discount to real estate appraised values, typically to reflect 
changes in market conditions since the date of the appraisal if warranted and 
to cover disposition costs (including selling expenses) based on the intended 
disposition method of the property. Non-real estate collateral may be valued 
using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower's financial statements, or 
aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management's historical 
knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and 
management's expertise and knowledge of the client and client's business, 
resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated 
on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.
Loans held for sale:
Loans held for sale are carried at fair value, as determined by outstanding 
commitments from third party investors (Level 2).

NOTE 7 - SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
2003 Subordinated debentures:
In December 2003, Central Federal Capital Trust I, a trust formed by the 
Holding Company, closed a pooled private offering of
5,000
trust preferred securities with a liquidation amount of $
1
per security. The Holding Company issued $
5,155
of subordinated debentures to the trust in exchange for ownership of all of 
the common stock of the trust and the proceeds of the preferred securities 
sold by the trust
. The Holding Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of this trust 
(which is classified as a variable interest entity); therefore, the trust is 
not consolidated in the Company's financial statements, but rather the 
subordinated debentures are shown as a liability. The Holding Company's 
investment in the common stock of the trust was $
155
and is included in other
assets.
The Holding Company may redeem the subordinated debentures, in whole or in 
part, in a principal amount with integral multiples of $
1
, at
100
% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The subordinated 
debentures mature on
December 30, 2033
. The subordinated debentures are also redeemable in whole or in part from 
time to time, upon the occurrence of specific events defined within the trust 
indenture. There are
no
required principal payments on the subordinated debentures over the next
five years
. The Holding Company has the option to defer interest payments on the 
subordinated debentures for a period not to exceed five consecutive years.

Prior to July 1, 2023, the subordinated debentures had a variable rate of 
interest, which reset quarterly, equal to the three-month London Interbank 
Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus
2.85
%. Effective July 1, 2023, the rate of interest on the subordinated debentures 
resets quarterly to the three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) 
plus
3.112
%, which was
8.41
% at March 31, 2024 and
8.44
% at December 31, 2023.
2018 Fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes:
In December 2018, the Holding Company entered into subordinated note purchase 
agreements with certain qualified institutional buyers and completed a private 
placement of $
10
million of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes with a maturity date of
December 30, 2028
. After payment of approximately $
388
of debt issuance costs, the Holding Company's net proceeds were approximately $
9,612
.
The subordinated notes initially bore interest at
7.00
%, from and including December 20, 2018, to but excluding December 30, 2023, 
payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each year. From 
and including December 30, 2023, to but excluding
                                                                                
                                       27

December 30, 2028 or the earlier redemption of the notes, the interest rate 
resets quarterly to an interest rate equal to the then current three-month 
SOFR (but not less than zero) plus
4.402
%, payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30, and 
December 30 of each year. The Holding Company may, at its option, redeem the 
notes beginning on December 30, 2023 and on any scheduled interest payment 
date thereafter. At March 31, 2024, the balance of the subordinated notes, net 
of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $
9,816

Each FHLB advance is payable at its maturity date, with a prepayment penalty 
for fixed-rate advances.
The Holding Company has a $
35,000
credit facility with a third-party bank. The credit facility is revolving until
May 21, 2024
, at which time any then-outstanding balance will be converted to a
10
-year term note on a graduated
10
-year amortization. Borrowings on the credit facility bear interest at a fixed 
rate of
3.85
% until May 21, 2026, and the interest rate then converts to a floating rate 
equal to PRIME with a floor of
3.25
%.
The purpose of the credit facility is to provide an additional source of 
liquidity for the Holding Company and to provide funds for the Holding Company 
to downstream as additional capital to CFBank to support growth. At March 31, 
2024, the Company had an outstanding balance, net of unamortized debt issuance 
costs, of
$
34,504
on the facility.
At March 31, 2024, CFBank had availability in unused lines of credit at two 
commercial banks in amounts of $
50,000
and
$
15,000
. There were
no
outstanding borrowings on either line at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 
Interest on any principal amounts outstanding from time to time under these 
lines accrues daily at a variable rate based on the commercial bank's cost of 
funds and current market returns.
There were no outstanding borrowings with the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") at 
March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

NOTE 9 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan, as described below, under 
which awards are outstanding or may be granted in the future. Total 
compensation cost that has been charged against income for the plan totaled $

233
for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $
283
for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The total income tax effect was $
49
for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $
59
for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The Company's 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan") was approved by 
stockholders on May 29, 2019 and replaced the Company's 2009 Equity 
Compensation Plan (the "2009" Plan"). The 2019 Plan, authorizes up to

300,000
shares (plus any shares that are subject to grants under the 2009 Plan and 
that are later forfeited or expire), to be awarded pursuant to stock options, 
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or restricted stock units. There 
were
69,262
shares remaining
available for awards under the 2019 Plan
at March 31, 2024.

Stock Options:
The Plans permit the grant of stock options to directors, officers and 
employees of the Holding Company and CFBank. Option awards are granted with an 
exercise price equal to the market price of the Company's common stock on the 
date of grant, generally have vesting periods ranging from
one year
to
three years
, and are exercisable for
ten years
from the date of grant. Unvested stock options immediately vest upon a change 
of control.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a 
closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions 
noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical 
volatilities of the Company's common stock. The Company uses historical data 
to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. Employee 
and management options are tracked separately. The expected term of options 
granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that 
options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that 
the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected 
term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the 
time of the grant.
There were
no
options outstanding at March 31, 2024.
There were
no
options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 
2023. There were
no
options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 
2023.
Restricted Stock Awards:
The 2019 Plan also permits the grant of restricted stock awards to directors, 
officers and employees. Compensation is recognized over the vesting period of 
the awards based on the fair value of the stock at grant date. The fair value 
of the stock is determined using the closing share price on the date of grant 
and shares generally have vesting periods of
one year
to
three years
. There were
7,068
shares of restricted stock granted under the 2019 Plan during the three months 
ended March 31, 2024. There were
58,784
shares of restricted stock granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

NOTE 10 - REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS
CFBank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal 
banking agencies. Prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative 
measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off balance-sheet items 
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and 
classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. 
Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications for banking 
organizations: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, 
significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although 
these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If a 
banking organization is classified as adequately capitalized, regulatory 
approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If a banking organization is 
classified as undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset 
growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)             
                 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)                  
                                                                                

In July 2013, the Holding Company's primary federal regulator, the Board of 
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"), published 
final rules (the "Basel III Capital Rules") establishing a new comprehensive 
capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The rules implement the 
Basel Committee's December 2010 framework known as "Basel III" for 
strengthening international capital standards as well as certain provisions of 
the Dodd-Frank Act. In order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, 
such as dividend payments and certain bonus payments to executive officers, 
the Basel III Capital Rules require insured financial institutions to hold a 
capital conservation buffer of common equity tier 1 capital above the minimum 
risk-based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer consists of 
an additional amount of common equity equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. 
Quantitative measures established by the Basel III Capital Rules to ensure 
capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios of 
Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital, as defined in 
the regulations, to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted 
quarterly average assets ("Leverage Ratio").
The Basel III Capital Rules require CFBank to maintain: 1) a minimum ratio of 
Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of
4.5
%, plus a
2.5
% "capital conservation buffer" (resulting in a minimum ratio of Common Equity 
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of
7.0
%); 2) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of
6.0
%, plus the capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital 
ratio of
8.5
%); 3) a minimum ratio of Total capital to risk-weighted assets of
8.0
%, plus the capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum Total capital 
ratio of
10.5
%); and 4) a minimum Leverage Ratio of
4.0
%.
The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of 
economic stress. Failure to maintain the minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital 
ratio plus the capital conservation buffer will result in potential 
restrictions on a banking institution's ability to pay dividends, repurchase 
stock and/or pay discretionary compensation to its employees.
The following tables present actual and required capital ratios as of March 
31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for CFBank under the Basel III Capital Rules. 
Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon 
prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under 
the Basel III Capital Rules.

CFBank converted from a mutual to a stock institution in 1998, and a 
"liquidation account" was established in the amount of $
14,300
, which was the net worth reported in the conversion prospectus.
The liquidation account represents a calculated amount for the purposes 
described below, and it does not represent actual funds included in the 
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.
Eligible depositors who have maintained their accounts, less annual reductions 
to the extent they have reduced their deposits, would be entitled to a 
priority distribution from this account if CFBank liquidated and its assets 
exceeded its liabilities. Dividends may not reduce CFBank's stockholder's 
equity below the required liquidation account balance.
Dividend Restrictions:
Banking regulations require us to maintain certain capital levels and may 
limit the dividends paid by CFBank to the Holding Company or by the Holding 
Company to stockholders. The ability of the Holding Company to pay dividends 
on its stock is dependent upon the amount of cash and liquidity available at 
the Holding Company level, as well as the receipt of dividends and other 
distributions from CFBank to the extent necessary to fund such dividends. The 
Holding Company is a legal entity that is separate and distinct from CFBank, 
which has no obligation to make any dividends or other funds available for the 
payment of dividends by the Holding Company. The Holding Company also is 
subject to various legal and regulatory policies and guidelines impacting the 
Holding Company's ability to pay dividends on its stock. In addition, the 
Holding Company's ability to pay dividends on its stock is conditioned upon 
the payment, on a current basis, of quarterly interest payments on the 
subordinated debentures underlying the Company's trust preferred securities. 
Finally, under the terms of the Holding Company's fixed-to-floating rate 
subordinated debt, the Holding Company's ability to pay dividends on its stock 
is conditioned upon the Holding Company continuing to make required principal 
and interest payments, and not incurring an event of default, with respect to 
the subordinated debt.
Additionally, CFBank does not intend to make distributions to the Holding 
Company that would result in a recapture of any portion of its thrift bad debt 
reserve as discussed in Note 12 -
Income Taxes
.


NOTE 11 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Interest-rate swaps:
The Bank enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial 
loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs. The Bank 
simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, 
with identical notional amounts and offsetting terms. The net result of these 
interest rate swaps is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest and the 
Bank receives a floating rate. These back-to-back loan swaps are derivative 
financial instruments and are reported at fair value in "accrued interest 
receivable and
other assets
" and "accrued interest payable and
other liabilities
" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of loan swaps 
are recorded in
other noninterest income
and sum to zero because of the offsetting terms of swaps with borrowers and 
swaps with dealer counterparties.
CFBank utilizes interest-rate swaps as part of its asset/liability management 
strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position, and does not use 
derivatives for trading purposes. The notional amount of the interest-rate 
swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount 
exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other 
terms of the individual interest-rate swap agreements. CFBank was party to 
interest-rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $
81,327
at March 31, 2024 and $
81,858
at December 31, 2023.
The counterparty to CFBank's interest-rate swaps is exposed to credit risk 
whenever the interest-rate swaps are in a liability position. At March 31, 
2024, CFBank
had $
3,431
in cash pledged as
collateral for these derivatives. Should the liability increase beyond the 
collateral value, CFBank will be required to pledge additional collateral.
Additionally, CFBank's interest-rate swap instruments contain provisions that 
require CFBank to remain well capitalized under regulatory capital standards 
and to comply with certain other regulatory requirements. The interest-rate 
swaps may be called by the counterparty if CFBank fails to maintain 
well-capitalized status under regulatory capital standards or becomes subject 
to certain adverse regulatory events such as a regulatory cease and desist 
order. As of March 31, 2024 CFBank was well-capitalized under regulatory 
capital standards and was not subject to any adverse regulatory events 
specified in CFBank's interest-rate swap instruments.

Mortgage banking derivatives:
Mortgage banking activities include two types of commitments: rate lock 
commitments and forward loan sales commitments. Rate lock commitments are 
loans in our pipeline that have an interest rate locked with the customer. The 
commitments are generally for periods
of
30
to
60
days and are at market rates. In order to mitigate the effect of the interest 
rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments, we economically hedge 
our commitments by entering into a forward loan sales contract under best 
efforts. Commitments to fund certain mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to 
be sold into the secondary market are considered derivatives. These mortgage 
banking derivatives are not designated in hedge relationships. The Company had 
$
7,947
of interest lock commitments related to residential mortgage loans at March 
31, 2024 and $
5,345
of interest rate lock commitments related to residential mortgage loans at 
December 31, 2023. The fair value of these interest lock commitments was 
immaterial at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES
At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a deferred tax asset 
recorded in the amount of approximately $
4,219
and $
3,942
, respectively. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had
no
unrecognized tax benefits recorded. The Company is subject to U.S. federal 
income tax and is no longer subject to federal examination for years prior to 
2020.
Our deferred tax assets are composed of U.S. net operating losses ("NOLs"), 
and other temporary book to tax differences. When determining the amount of 
deferred tax assets that are more-likely-than-not to be realized, and 
therefore recorded as a benefit, the Company conducts a regular assessment of 
all available information. This information includes, but is not limited to, 
taxable income in prior periods, projected future income and projected future 
reversals of deferred tax items. Based on these criteria, the Company 
determined as of March 31, 2024 that
no
valuation allowance was required against the net deferred tax asset.
In 2012, the Company completed a recapitalization program pursuant to which 
the Holding Company sold $
22,500
in common stock, which improved the capital levels of CFBank and provided 
working capital for the Holding Company. The result of the change in stock 
ownership associated with the stock offering, however, was that the Company 
incurred an ownership change within the guidelines of Section 382 of the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986. At March 31, 2024, the Company had net 
operating loss carryforwards of $
21,927
, which expire at various dates from
2024
to
2032
. As a result of the ownership change, the Company's ability to utilize 
carryforwards that arose before the 2012 stock offering closed is limited to $

163
per year. Due to this limitation, management determined it is more likely than 
not that $
20,520
of net operating loss carryforwards will expire unutilized. As required by ASC 
740, the Company reduced the carrying value of deferred tax assets, and the 
corresponding valuation allowance, by the $
6,977
tax effect of this lost realizability.
Federal income tax laws provided additional deductions, totaling $
2,250
, for thrift bad debt reserves established before 1988. ASC 740 does not 
require a deferred tax liability to be recorded on this amount, which 
otherwise would have totaled $
473
at March 31, 2024. However, if CFBank were wholly or partially liquidated or 
otherwise ceases to be a bank, or if tax laws were to change, this amount 
would have to be recaptured and a tax liability recorded. Additionally, any 
distributions in excess of CFBank's current or accumulated earnings and 
profits would reduce amounts allocated to its bad debt reserve and create a 
tax liability for CFBank.
The Company records income tax expense based on the federal statutory rate 
adjusted for the effect of low income housing credits, bank owned life 
insurance, dividends on equity securities and other miscellaneous items.

The effective tax rate was approximately
18.5
% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and
19.5
% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which management believes were 
reasonable estimates for the effective tax rates for such periods.
The following table summarizes the major components creating differences 
between income taxes at the federal statutory tax rate and the effective tax 
rate recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months 
ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

On February 6, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of
2,000
shares of its newly-designated series of non-voting convertible perpetual 
preferred stock, series D, par value $
0.01
per share (the "Series D Preferred Stock") to an existing stockholder of the 
Company in exchange for
200,000
shares of (Voting) Common Stock.
Each share of Series D Preferred Stock will be convertible either (i) 
automatically into
100
shares of the Company's Non-Voting Common Stock if and when the Company's 
shareholders approve an amendment to the Company's Certificate of 
Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Non-Voting Common 
Stock to permit the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series D Preferred 
Stock into shares of Non-Voting Common Stock (which shareholder approval and 
amendment the Company may, but is not obligated, to seek); (ii) unless 
previously converted into shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, into
100
shares of (Voting) Common Stock at the request of the holder, provided that 
upon such conversion the holder, together with all affiliates of the holder, 
will not own or control in aggregate more than
9.9
% of the outstanding (Voting) Common Stock (or of any class of voting 
securities issued by the Company); or (iii) unless previously converted into 
shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, into
100
shares of (Voting) Common Stock upon transfer of such shares of Series D 
Preferred Stock to a non-affiliate of the holder in specified permitted 
transactions. The holders of Series D Preferred Stock are not entitled to any 
liquidation preferences. The holders of Series D Preferred Stock participate 
with common shareholders pro rata in dividends on an as-converted basis.
NOTE 15- OTHER ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
During the third quarter of 2022, the Company began marketing its Worthington 
headquarters building for sale as it prepared to move its headquarters to 
Columbus, Ohio. On October 20, 2022, the Company entered into a contract to 
sell the building for $
2,010
. As a result, impairment expense of
$
542
was recorded during September 2022 to adjust the building and land value to 
the offered price, less costs to sell and the associated assets were 
transferred to other assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. 
The sale of the building was completed in May 2023.

RWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports and materials we have 
filed or may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") contain 
or may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe 
harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Reform Act of 1995, which are

underlying such statements. Words such as "estimate," "strategy," "may," 
"believe," "anticipate," "expect," "predict," "will," "intend," "plan," 
"targeted," and the negative of these terms, or similar expressions, are 
intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive 
means of identifying such statements. Various risks and uncertainties may 
cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by our

detailed from time to time in our reports filed with the SEC, including those 
identified in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of Part I of our Annual Report on Form

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance or results. A 
forward-looking statement may include a statement of the assumptions or bases 
underlying the forward-looking statement. We believe that we have chosen these 
assumptions or bases in good faith and that they are reasonable. We caution 
you, however, that assumptions or bases almost always vary from actual 
results, and the differences between assumptions or bases and actual results 
can be material. The forward-looking statements included in this quarterly 
report speak only as of the date of the report. We undertake no obligation to 
publicly release revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events

Business Overview
The Holding Company is a financial holding company that owns 100% of the stock 
of CFBank, which was formed in Ohio in 1892 and converted from a federal 
savings association to a national bank on December 1, 2016. Prior to December 
1, 2016, the Holding Company was a registered savings and loan holding 
company. Effective as of December 1, 2016 and in conjunction with the 
conversion of CFBank to a national bank, the Holding Company became a 
registered bank holding company and elected financial holding status with the 
Federal Reserve Board (the "Federal Reserve"). Effective as of July 27, 2020, 
the Company changed its name from Central Federal Corporation to CF Bankshares 
Inc.
CFBank focuses on serving the financial needs of closely held businesses and 
entrepreneurs, by providing comprehensive Commercial, Retail, and Mortgage 
Lending services presence. In all regional markets, CFBank provides commercial 
loans and equipment leases, commercial and residential real estate loans and 
treasury management depository services, residential mortgage lending, and 
full-service commercial and retail banking services and products. CFBank seeks 
to differentiate itself from its competitors by providing individualized 
service coupled with direct customer access to decision-makers, and ease of 
doing business. We believe that CFBank matches the sophistication of much 
larger banks, without the bureaucracy. CFBank also offers its clients the 
convenience of online banking, mobile banking and remote deposit capabilities.

Most of our deposits and loans come from our market area. Our principal market 
area for deposits and loans includes the following counties in Ohio and 
Indiana: Franklin County, Ohio through our offices in Columbus, Ohio; Delaware 
County, Ohio through our Polaris office in Columbus, Ohio; Cuyahoga County, 
Ohio through our office in Woodmere, Ohio and our Ohio City office in 
Cleveland, Ohio; Summit County, Ohio through our office in Fairlawn, Ohio; 
Hamilton County, Ohio through our offices in Blue Ash, Ohio and our Red Bank 
office in Cincinnati, Ohio; and Marion County, Indiana through our office in 
Indianapolis. Because of CFBank's concentration of business activities in 
Ohio, the Company's financial condition and results of operations depend in 
large part upon economic conditions in Ohio.
Recent Regulatory Developments.
In March 2024, CFBank's primary federal regulator, the OCC, publicly released 
its Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) rating of "Needs to Improve" for CFBank 
as a result of the OCC's regularly scheduled evaluation covering 2020 through 
2022. The Company believes that the "Needs to Improve" rating was primarily 
attributable to CFBank's legacy direct-to-consumer residential mortgage 
business. Beginning in 2021, CFBank strategically scaled down its residential 
mortgage business and exited the direct-to-consumer mortgage business in favor 
of lending in our regional markets. The Company believes that this change in 
our residential mortgage business and focus, together with changes in our 
branch network and other actions taken since 2021, have remediated these 
legacy issues. While CFBank's CRA rating remains "Needs to Improve," the 
Company is subject to additional requirements and conditions with respect to 
certain activities, including acquisitions of and mergers with other financial

General
Our net income is dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the 
difference between the interest income earned on loans and securities and our 
cost of funds, consisting of interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net 
interest income is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors 
that influence interest rates, loan demand, the level of nonperforming assets 
and deposit flows.
Net income is also affected by, among other things, provisions for credit 
losses, loan fee income, service charges, gains on loan sales, operating 
expenses, and taxes. Operating expenses principally consist of employee 
compensation and benefits, occupancy, advertising and marketing, data 
processing, professional fees, FDIC insurance premiums and other general and 
administrative expenses. Our results of operations are significantly affected 
by general economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest 
rates and real estate values, government policies and actions of regulatory 
authorities. Our regulators have extensive discretion in their supervisory and 
enforcement activities, including the authority to impose restrictions on our 
operations, to classify our assets and to require us to increase the level of 
our allowance for credit losses on loans and leases. Any change in such 
regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, 
regulations, legislation or supervisory action, may have a material impact on 
our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.
Management's discussion and analysis represents a review of our consolidated 
financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. This 
review should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial 
Statements and related Notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Financial Condition
General.
Assets totaled $2.0 billion at March 31, 2024 and decreased $19.1 million, or 
0.9%, from $2.1 billion at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due 
to a $24.7 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents
.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $236.9 million at March 31, 2024, and 
decreased $24.7 million, or 9.4%, from $261.6 million at December 31, 2023. 
The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily attributed to a 
decrease in net deposit balances, partially offset by increases in net loan 
balances.
Securities.
Securities available for sale totaled $7.6 million at March 31, 2024, and 
decreased $495,000, or 6.1%, compared to $8.1 million at December 31, 2023. 
The decrease was due to principal maturities.
Loans held for sale.
Loans held for sale totaled $2.2 million at March 31, 2024, and increased 
$392,000, or 21.2%, from $1.8 million at December 31, 2023.
Loans and Leases.
Net loans and leases totaled $1.7 billion at March 31, 2024, and increased 
$1.6 million, or 0.1%, from $1.7 billion at December 31, 2023.
The increase in net loans and leases from December 31, 2023 was primarily due 
to a $28.8 million increase in commercial real estate loan balances, partially 
offset by a $12.3 million decrease in construction loan balances, a $9.3 
million decrease in commercial loan balances, a $3.0 million decrease in 
single-family residential loan balances, and a $2.0 million decrease in 
multi-family loan balances. The increases in the aforementioned loan balances 
were primarily related to increased sales activity and new relationships. The 
decrease in construction loan balances was primarily related to loans that 
were converted to permanent loans upon the completion of construction.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans.
The allowance for credit losses on loans ("ACL - Loans") totaled $18.2 million 
at March 31, 2024, and increased $1.3 million, or 7.9%, from $16.9 million at 
December 31, 2023. The increase in the ACL - Loans is due to $1.3 million in 
loan provision expense coupled with $16,000 in recoveries on charged off loans 
during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in the ACL - Loans 
was primarily driven by reserves placed on an individually evaluated loan, 
which was also placed on nonaccrual status during the quarter ended March 31, 
2024. The ratio of the ACL - Loans to total loans was 1.06% at March 31, 2024, 
compared to 0.99% at December 31, 2023.
The ACL - Loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' 
amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on 
loans over the contractual term. Loans are charged off against the allowance 
when the uncollectibility of the loan is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not 
exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged off and expected to be 
charged off. Adjustments to the ACL- Loans are reported in the income 
statement as a component of provision for credit loss. The Company has made 
the accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on loans 
from the estimate of credit losses. Further information regarding the policies 
and methodology used to estimate the ACL - Loans is detailed in Note 1 -
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
and Note 4 -
Loans and Leases

Form 10-Q

                                 PART 1. Item 2                                 
                       MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS                       
                                                                                

Individually evaluated loans totaled $6.4 million at March 31, 2024, and 
increased $2.9 million, or 85.0%, from $3.5 million at December 31, 2023. The 
increase was primarily due to two newly identified commercial loans during the 
first quarter 2024 totaling $3.0 million, partially offset by principal 
payments. The amount of the
ACL - Loans
specifically calculated for individually evaluated loans totaled $2.7 million 
at March 31, 2024 and $697,000 at December 31, 2023.
The reserve on individually evaluated loans is based on management's estimate 
of the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's effective 
rate or the fair value of collateral, if repayment is expected solely from the 
collateral. On at least a quarterly basis, management reviews each 
individually evaluated loan to determine whether it should have a reserve or 
partial charge-off. Management relies on appraisals or internal evaluations to 
help make this determination. Determination of whether to use an updated 
appraisal or internal evaluation is based on factors including, but not 
limited to, the age of the loan and the most recent appraisal, condition of 
the property and whether we expect the collateral to go through the 
foreclosure or liquidation process. Management considers the need for a 
downward adjustment to the valuation based on current market conditions and on 
management's analysis, judgment and experience. The amount ultimately 
charged-off for these loans may be different from the reserve, as the ultimate 
liquidation of the collateral and/or projected cash flows may be different 
from management's estimates
.
Nonperforming loans, which include nonaccrual loans and loans at least 90 days 
past due but still accruing interest, totaled $7.9 million at March 31, 2024, 
and increased $2.2 million from $5.7 million at December 31, 2023. The 
increase in nonaccrual loans was primarily driven one commercial loan, 
totaling $1.5 million, a commercial equipment lease, totaling $62,000, a 
single-family residential loan, totaling $372,000, and a consumer loan 
totaling $251,000, becoming nonaccrual during the first quarter of 2024. The 
ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.46% at March 31, 2024 
compared to 0.33% at December 31, 2023.
The Company adopted ASU 2022-02,
Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructuring 
and Vintage Disclosures
, during the first quarter of 2023. This amendment eliminated the Troubled 
Debt Restructuring ("TDR") recognition and measurement guidance and, instead, 
required that an entity evaluate (consistent with the accounting for other 
loan modifications) whether the modification represents a new loan or a 
continuation of an existing loans. The amendments also enhanced existing 
disclosure requirements and introduced new requirements related to certain 
modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial 
difficulty. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, 
the Company did not modify any loans.
We have incorporated the regulatory asset classifications as a part of our 
credit monitoring and internal loan risk rating system. In accordance with 
regulations, problem loans are classified as special mention, substandard, 
doubtful or loss, and the classifications are subject to review by the 
regulators. Assets designated as special mention are considered criticized 
assets. Assets designated as substandard, doubtful or loss are considered 
classified assets. See Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements 
included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information 
regarding the regulatory asset classifications.
The level of total criticized and classified loans increased by $2.1 million, 
or 16.2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Loans designated as 
special mention decreased $7,000, or 0.2%, and totaled $4.1 million at March 
31, 2024, compared to $4.1 million at December 31, 2023. Loans classified as 
substandard increased $2.1 million, or 24.8%, and totaled $10.8 million at 
March 31, 2024, compared to $8.6 million at December 31, 2023. Loans 
designated as doubtful totaled $448,000 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 
2023. See Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this 
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding risk 
classification of loans.
In addition to credit monitoring through our internal loan risk rating system, 
we also monitor past due information for all loan segments. Loans that are not 
rated under our internal credit rating system include groups of homogenous 
loans, such as single-family residential real estate loans and consumer loans. 
The primary credit indicator for these groups of homogenous loans is past due 
information.
Total past due loans increased $3.4 million and totaled $5.4 million at March 
31, 2024, compared to $2.0 million at December 31, 2023. Past due loans 
totaled 0.3% of the loan portfolio at March 31, 2024, compared to 0.1% at 
December 31, 2023. See Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements 
included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information 
regarding loan delinquencies.
All lending activity involves risk of loss. Certain types of loans, such as 
option adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) products, junior lien mortgages, high 
loan-to-value ratio mortgages, interest only loans, subprime loans and loans 
with initial teaser rates, can have a greater risk of non-collection than 
other loans. CFBank has not engaged in subprime lending or used option ARM 
products.

                                 PART 1. Item 2

Loans that contain interest only payments may present a higher risk than those 
loans with an amortizing payment that includes periodic principal reductions. 
Interest only loans are primarily commercial lines of credit secured by 
business assets and inventory, and consumer home equity lines of credit 
secured by the borrower's primary residence. Due to the fluctuations in 
business assets and inventory of our commercial borrowers, CFBank has 
increased risk due to a potential decline in collateral values without a 
corresponding decrease in the outstanding principal
. Interest only commercial lines of credit totaled $110.7 million, or 25.7%, 
of CFBank's commercial portfolio at March 31, 2024, compared to $147.5 
million, or 33.5%, at December 31, 2023. Interest only home equity lines of 
credit totaled $33.4 million, or 92.5%, of the total home equity lines of 
credit at March 31, 2024, compared to $33.6 million, or 93.4%, at December 31, 
2023.
We believe the ACL - Loans is adequate to absorb current expected credit 
losses in the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2024; however, future additions 
to the allowance may be necessary based on factors including, but not limited 
to, deterioration in client business performance, recessionary economic 
conditions, declines in borrowers' cash flows and market conditions which 
result in lower real estate values. Additionally, various regulatory agencies, 
as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the ACL 
- Loans. Such agencies may require additional provisions for loan losses based 
on judgments and estimates that differ from those used by management, or on 
information available at the time of their review. Management continues to 
diligently monitor credit quality in the existing portfolio and analyze 
potential loan opportunities carefully in order to manage credit risk. An 
increase in loan losses could occur if economic conditions and factors which 
affect credit quality, real estate values and general business conditions 
worsen or do not improve
.
Foreclosed assets
.
The Company held no foreclosed assets at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. 
The level of foreclosed assets and charges to foreclosed assets expense may 
change in the future in connection with workout efforts related to foreclosed 
assets, nonperforming loans and other loans with credit issues.
Deposits
.
Deposits totaled $1.7 billion at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $21.0 million, 
or 1.2%, when compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 2023. The decrease when 
compared to December 31, 2023, is primarily due to a $21.9 million decrease in 
interest-bearing account balances, partially offset by a $925,000 increase in 
noninterest-bearing account balances. The decrease in interest-bearing account 
balances was primarily due to a $51.1 million decrease in brokered account 
balances, partially offset by an increase of $28.5 million in core deposit 
balances.
At March 31, 2024, approximately 29.8% of our deposit balances exceeded the 
FDIC insurance limit of $250,000, as compared to approximately 29.2% at 
December 31, 2023.
CFBank is a participant in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry 
Service(R) (CDARS) and Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) programs offered through 
IntraFi. IntraFi works with a network of banks to offer products that can 
provide FDIC insurance coverage in excess of $250,000 through these innovative 
products. Brokered deposits, including CDARS and ICS deposits that qualify as 
brokered, totaled $389.3 million at March 31, 2024, and decreased $51.1 
million, or 11.6%, from $440.4 million at December 31, 2023. Customer balances 
in the CDARS reciprocal and ICS reciprocal programs, which do not qualify as 
brokered, totaled $272.6 million at March 31, 2024, and increased $34.8 
million, or 14.7%, from $237.8 million at December 31, 2023.
FHLB advances and other debt
.
FHLB advances and other debt totaled $111.0 million at March 31, 2024, an 
increase of $1.0 million, or 0.9%, when compared to $110.0 million at December 
31, 2023.
The increase was due
to a $1.0 million increase on the Company's line of credit with a third party 
financial institution.
The Holding Company has a $35.0 million credit facility. The credit facility 
is revolving until May 21, 2024, at which time any then-outstanding balance 
will be converted to a 10-year term note on a graduated 10-year amortization. 
Borrowings on the credit facility bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.85% until 
May 21, 2026, and the interest rate then converts to a floating rate equal to 
PRIME with a floor of 3.25%.
The purpose of the credit facility is to provide an additional source of 
liquidity for the Holding Company and to provide funds for the Holding Company 
to downstream as additional capital to CFBank to support growth. As of March 
31, 2024, the Company had an outstanding balance of $34.5 million on the 
facility.
At March 31, 2024, CFBank had availability in unused lines of credit at two 
commercial banks in the amounts of $50.0 million and $15.0 million. There were 
no outstanding borrowings on either line at March 31, 2024 or December 31, 
2023.

Subordinated debentures
.
Subordinated debentures totaled $15.0 million at both March 31, 2024 and 
December 31, 2023. In December 2018, the Holding Company entered into 
subordinated note purchase agreements with certain qualified institutional 
buyers and completed a private placement of $10.0 million of fixed-to-floating 
rate subordinated notes, resulting in net proceeds of $9,612,000 after 
deducting unamortized debt issuance costs of approximately $388,000. In 2003, 
the Holding Company issued subordinated debentures in exchange for the 
proceeds of a $5.0 million trust preferred securities offering issued by a 
trust formed by the Holding Company. The terms of the subordinated debentures 
allow for the Holding Company to defer interest payments for a period not to 
exceed five years. Interest payments on the subordinated debentures were 
current at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Stockholders' equity
.
Stockholders' equity totaled $158.0 million at March 31, 2024, an increase of 
$2.6 million, or 1.7%, from $155.4 million at December 31, 2023.
The increase in total stockholders' equity during the three months ended March 
31, 2024 was primarily attributed to net income, partially offset by $386,000 
in dividend payments.
Management continues to proactively monitor capital levels and ratios in its 
on-going capital planning process. CFBank has leveraged its capital to support 
balance sheet growth and drive increased net interest income. Management 
remains focused on growing capital though earnings; however, should the need 
arise, CFBank has additional sources of capital and alternatives it could 
utilize as further discussed
in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section in this Quarterly Report on 
Form 10-Q.
Currently, the Holding Company has excess cash or sources of liquidity to 
cover its expenses for the foreseeable future, and could inject capital into 
CFBank if necessary. Also, CFBank has the flexibility to manage its balance 
sheet size as a result of the short duration of the loans held for sale, as 
well as to deploy those assets into higher earning assets to improve net 
interest income as the opportunity presents itself
.
Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 
2024 and 2023.
General
.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $3.1 million (or 
$0.47 per diluted common share)
compared to net income of $4.4 million (or $0.68 per diluted common share) for 
the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The decrease in net income was primarily the result of a decrease in net 
interest income and an increase in provision for credit losses expense, 
partially offset by a decrease in noninterest expense and an increase in 
noninterest income.
Net interest income.
Net interest income is a significant component of net income, and consists of 
the difference between interest income generated on interest-earning assets 
and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest 
income is primarily affected by the volumes, interest rates and composition of 
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The tables in the 
sections below titled
"Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields"
and
"Rate/Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income"
provide important information on factors impacting net interest income and 
should be read in conjunction with this discussion of net interest income.
Net interest income totaled $11.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 
and decreased
$1.4 million, or 11.4%, compared to net interest income of $12.7 million for 
the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a $6.4 
million, or 55.6%, increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $4.9 
million, or 20.3%, increase in interest income.
The increase in interest expense was attributed to a 127bps increase in the 
average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities, coupled with a $166.4 
million, or 11.8%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. The 
increase in interest income was primarily attributed to a $176.3 million, or 
10.2%, increase in average interest-earning assets outstanding, coupled with a 
51bps increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets. The net 
interest margin of 2.36% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 decreased 57bps 
compared to the net interest margin of 2.93% for the first quarter of 2023
.
Interest income totaled $29.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, 
and increased $4.9 million, or 20.3%, compared to $24.2 million for the 
quarter ended March 31, 2023.
The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to a 51bps increase 
in the average yield on loans and leases and loans held for sale, coupled with 
a $107.2 million, or 6.8%, increase in average loans and leases outstanding 
and loans held for sale.
Interest expense totaled $17.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, 
and increased $6.4 million, or 55.6%, compared to $11.5 million for the 
quarter ended March 31, 2023.
The increase in interest expense was primarily attributed to a 134bps increase 
in the average rate of interest-bearing deposits, coupled with a $165.2 
million, or 12.8%, increase in average interest-bearing deposits.
Provision for credit losses.
There was $1.2 million in provision for credit losses expense for the quarter 
ended March 31, 2024, which reflected an increase of $1.0 million, or 421.9%, 
compared to a $237,000 provision
for the quarter ended March 31, 2023
.
The increase in the provision for credit losses during the quarter ended March 
31, 2024 was primarily driven by a reserve placed on an individually evaluated 
loan, which was also placed on nonaccrual status during the quarter ended 
March 31, 2024.
Net recoveries for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 totaled $16,000, compared 
to net-charge offs of $5,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Noninterest income.
Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 totaled $905,000 and 
increased $186,000, or 25.9%, compared to $719,000 for the quarter ended March 
31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $255,000 increase in service 
charges on deposit accounts, a $167,000 increase in the net gain on sales of 
commercial loans, partially offset by a $299,000 decrease in other noninterest 
income.
Noninterest expense.
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 totaled $7.2 million 
and decreased $504,000, or 7.0%, compared to $7.7 million for the quarter 
ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to 
a $478,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits. The decrease in 
salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to a decrease in the number 
of employees coupled with lower payroll taxes.
Income tax expense.
Income tax expense was $695,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, a 
decrease of $381,000 compared to $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 
2023. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was 
approximately 18.5%, as compared to approximately 19.5% for the quarter ended 
March 31, 2023.
Our deferred tax assets are composed of U.S. net operating losses ("NOLs"), 
and other temporary book to tax differences. When determining the amount of 
deferred tax assets that are more-likely-than-not to be realized, and 
therefore recorded as a benefit, the Company conducts a regular assessment of 
all available information. This information includes, but is not limited to, 
taxable income in prior periods, projected future income and projected future 
reversals of deferred tax items. Based on these criteria, the Company 
determined as of March 31, 2024 that no valuation allowance was required 
against the net deferred tax asset.
The Company records income tax expense based on the federal statutory rate 
adjusted for the effect of other items such as low income housing credits, 
bank owned life insurance and other miscellaneous items.

Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields.
The following tables present, for the periods indicated, the total dollar 
amount of fully taxable equivalent interest income from average interest-earning
 assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average 
interest-bearing liabilities, expressed in both dollars and rates.
Average balances are computed using month-end balances.

Rate/Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income.
The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income 
and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and 
interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the increase and 
decrease related to changes in balances and/or changes in interest rates. 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 prior rate) and (ii) changes in 
rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by prior 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.

Critical Accounting Policies
We follow financial accounting and reporting policies that are in accordance 
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and conform to general 
practices within the banking industry. These policies are presented in Note 1 
to our 2023 Audited Financial Statements. Some of these accounting policies 
are considered to be critical accounting policies, which are those policies 
that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial 
condition and results of operations, and require management's most difficult, 
subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make 
estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. 
Application of assumptions different than those used by management could 
result in material changes in our financial condition or results of 
operations. These policies, current assumptions and estimates utilized, and 
the related disclosure of this process, are determined by management and 
routinely reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. We 
believe that the judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation 
of the Consolidated Financial Statements were appropriate given the factual 
circumstances at the time.
We believe there have been no significant changes during the three months 
ended March 31, 2024 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting 
policies and estimates in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 
year ended December 31, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In general terms, liquidity is a measurement of an enterprise's ability to 
meet cash needs. The primary objective in liquidity management is to maintain 
the ability to meet loan commitments and to repay deposits and other 
liabilities in accordance with their terms without an adverse impact on 
current or future earnings. Principal sources of funds are deposits; 
amortization and prepayments of loans; maturities, sales and principal 
receipts of securities available for sale; borrowings; and operations. While 
maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of 
funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general 
interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

                       MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS                       
                                                                                

CFBank is required by regulation to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure 
its safe and sound operation. Thus, adequate liquidity may vary depending on 
CFBank's overall asset/liability structure, market conditions, the activities 
of competitors, the requirements of our own deposit and loan customers and 
regulatory considerations. Management believes that each of the Holding 
Company's and CFBank's current liquidity is sufficient to meet its daily 
operating needs and fulfill its strategic planning.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of 
management. We adjust our investments in liquid assets, primarily cash, 
short-term investments and other assets that are widely traded in the 
secondary market, based on our ongoing assessment of expected loan demand, 
expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and 
securities and the objective of our asset/liability management program. In 
addition to liquid assets, we have other sources of liquidity available 
including, but not limited to, access to advances from the FHLB and borrowings 
from the FRB and our commercial bank lines of credit.
The following table summarizes CFBank's cash available from liquid assets and 
borrowing capacity at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Cash, unpledged securities and deposits in other financial institutions       $ 237,292          $  262,004
                              Additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB         191,683             183,654
                               Additional borrowing capacity at the FRB         144,457             136,240

Cash, unpledged securities and deposits in other financial institutions 
decreased $24.7 million, or 9.4%, to $237.3 million at March 31, 2024, 
compared to $262.0 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease is primarily

attributed to
a decrease in deposits, partially offset by an increase in loans and leases.
CFBank's additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB increased $8.0 million, 
or 4.4%, to $191.7 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $183.7 million at 
December 31, 2023.
CFBank's additional borrowing capacity at the FRB increased $8.3 million, or 
6.0%, to $144.5 million at March 31, 2024 from $136.2 million at December 31, 
2023. CFBank is eligible to participate in the FRB's primary credit program, 
providing CFBank access to short-term funds at any time, for any reason, based 
on the collateral pledged.
CFBank's borrowing capacity with both the FHLB and FRB may be negatively 
impacted by changes such as, but not limited to, further tightening of credit 
policies by the FHLB or FRB, deterioration in the credit performance of 
CFBank's loan portfolio or CFBank's financial performance, or a decrease in 
the balance of pledged collateral.
CFBank had $65.0 million of availability in unused lines of credit with two 
commercial banks at March 31, 2024 and at December 31, 2023.
Deposits are obtained predominantly from the markets in which CFBank's offices 
are located. We rely primarily on a willingness to pay market-competitive 
interest rates to attract and retain retail deposits. Accordingly, rates 
offered by competing financial institutions may affect our ability to attract 
and retain deposits.

The Holding Company has more limited sources of liquidity than CFBank. In 
general, in addition to its existing liquid assets, sources of liquidity 
include funds raised in the securities markets through debt or equity 
offerings, funds borrowed from third party banks or other lenders, dividends 
received from CFBank or the sale of assets.
Management believes that the Holding Company had adequate funds and sources of 
liquidity at March 31, 2024 to meet its current and anticipated operating 
needs at this time. The Holding Company's current cash requirements include 
operating expenses and interest on subordinated debentures and other debt. The 
Company may also pay dividends on its common stock if and when declared by the 
Board of Directors.

Currently, annual debt service on the subordinated debentures underlying the 
Company's trust preferred securities is approximately $435,000. Prior to July 
1, 2023, the subordinated debentures had a variable rate of interest, which 
reset quarterly, equal to the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate 
(LIBOR) plus 2.85%. Effective July 1, 2023, the rate of interest on the 
subordinated debentures resets quarterly to the three-month Secured Overnight 
Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 3.112%, which was 8.41% at March 31, 2024.
Currently, the annual debt service on the Company's $10 million of 
fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes is $970,000. The subordinated notes 
initially bore a fixed rate of 7.00% until December 2023, and now the interest 
rate resets quarterly to a rate equal to the current three-month SOFR plus 
4.402%, which was 9.70% at March 31, 2024.
The Holding Company has a $35.0 million credit facility with a third-party 
bank. The credit facility is revolving until May 21, 2024, at which time any 
then-outstanding balance will be converted to a 10-year term note on a 
graduated 10-year amortization. Borrowings on the credit facility bear 
interest at a fixed rate of 3.85% until May 21, 2026, and the interest rate 
then converts to a floating rate equal to PRIME with a floor of 3.75%.
The purpose of the credit facility is to provide an additional source of 
liquidity for the Holding Company and to provide funds for the Holding Company 
to downstream as additional capital to CFBank to support growth. At March 31, 
2024, the Company had an outstanding balance, net of unamortized debt issuance 
costs, of $34.5 million on the facility.
The ability of the Holding Company to pay dividends on its common stock is 
dependent upon the amount of cash and liquidity available at the Holding 
Company level, as well as the receipt of dividends and other distributions 
from CFBank to the extent necessary to fund such dividends.
The Holding Company is a legal entity that is separate and distinct from 
CFBank, which has no obligation to make any dividends or other funds available 
for the payment of dividends by the Holding Company. Banking regulations limit 
the amount of dividends that can be paid to the Holding Company by CFBank 
without prior regulatory approval. Generally, financial institutions may pay 
dividends without prior approval as long as the dividend does not exceed the 
total of the current calendar year-to-date earnings plus any earnings from the 
previous two years not already paid out in dividends, and as long as the 
financial institution remains well capitalized after the dividend payment.

The Holding Company also is subject to various legal and regulatory policies 
and requirements impacting the Holding Company's ability to pay dividends on 
its stock. In addition, the Holding Company's ability to pay dividends on its 
stock is conditioned upon the payment, on a current basis, of quarterly 
interest payments on the subordinated debentures underlying the Company's 
trust preferred securities. Finally, under the terms of the Company's 
fixed-to-floating rate subordinated debt, the Holding Company's ability to pay 
dividends on its stock is conditioned upon the Holding Company continuing to 
make required principal and interest payments, and not incurring an event of 
default, with respect to the subordinated debt.
Federal income tax laws provided deductions, totaling $2.3 million, for thrift 
bad debt reserves established before 1988. Accounting standards do not require 
a deferred tax liability to be recorded on this amount, which otherwise would 
have totaled $473,000 at year-end 2023. However, if CFBank were wholly or 
partially liquidated or otherwise ceases to be a bank, or if tax laws were to 
change, this amount would have to be recaptured and a tax liability recorded. 
Additionally, any distributions in excess of CFBank's current or accumulated 
earnings and profits would reduce amounts allocated to its bad debt reserve 
and create a tax liability for CFBank.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
. We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure 
that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 (Exchange Act) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported 
within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such 
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our 
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, 
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the 
participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial 
officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and 
procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the 
Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on 
such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial 
officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were 
effective as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
. We made no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as 
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) in the first 
quarter of 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to 
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Ite
m 1. Legal Proceedings
The Holding Company and CFBank may, from time to time, be involved in various 
legal proceedings in the normal course of business. Periodically, there have 
been various claims and lawsuits involving CFBank, such as claims to enforce 
liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which CFBank holds security 
interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans 
and other claims and lawsuits incident to our banking business.
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding that management believes 
would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of 
operations, if decided adversely to us.
It
em 1A. Risk Factors

         actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. A detailed 
  discussion of our risk factors is included in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of Part 
  I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
