Forward-Looking Statements This presentation may contain statements
that are not historical in nature and are intended to be, and are
hereby identified as, forward-looking statements for purposes of the

“anticipate,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect
,” “aim,” “plan,” “estimate,” “continue,” and “intend,” as well as other
similar words and expressions of the future, are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements
include statements related to our projected growth, anticipated future
financial performance, and management’s long-term performance
goals, as well as statements relating to the anticipated effects on results
of operations and financial condition from expected developments
or events, or business and growth strategies, including anticipated
internal growth. These forward-looking statements
involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause our
actual results to differ materially from those anticipated
in such statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but
are not limited to: • the strength of the United States economy in
general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct
operations; • the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic
and its impact on us, our employees, customers and third-party service
providers, and the ultimate extent of the impacts of the pandemic
and related government stimulus programs; • our ability to successfully
manage interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and other risks
inherent to our industry; • the accuracy of our financial statement
estimates and assumptions, including the estimates used for
our credit loss reserve and deferred tax asset valuation allowance;
• the efficiency and effectiveness of our internal control environment;
• our ability to comply with the
extensive laws and regulations to which we are subject, including the
laws for each jurisdiction where we operate; • legislative or regulatory
changes and changes in accounting principles, policies, practices
or guidelines, including the effects of the forthcoming implementation
of the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) standard; •
the effects of our lack of a diversified loan portfolio and concentration
in the South Florida market, including the risks of geographic,
depositor, and industry concentrations, including our concentration
in loans secured by real estate; • the concentration of ownership of our
Class A common stock; • fluctuations in the price of our Class A common
stock; • our ability to fund or access the capital markets at attractive
rates and terms and manage our growth, both organic growth as
well as growth through other means, such as future acquisitions; •
inflation, interest rate, unemployment rate, market, and
monetary fluctuations; • increased competition and its effect
on the pricing of our products and services as well as our interest rate
margin; • the effectiveness of our risk management strategies,
including operational risks, including, but not limited to, client,
employee, or third-party fraud and security breaches; and • other risks
described in this presentation and other filings we make with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All forward-looking statements
are necessarily only estimates of future results, and there
can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially
from expectations. Therefore, you are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, forward
-looking statements included in this presentation are made only as of the date
hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise
any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after
the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events, unless required to do so under
the federal securities laws. You should also review the risk
factors described in the reports USCB Financial Holdings, Inc. filed
or will file with the SEC and, for periods prior to the completion
of the bank holding company reorganization in December
31, 2021, U.S Century Bank filed with the FDIC. Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation includes financial information determined by
methods other than in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”). This financial information includes certain
operating performance measures. Management has included
these non-GAAP measures because it believes these measures may
provide useful supplemental information for evaluating the Company’s
underlying performance trends. Further, management uses
these measures in managing and evaluating the Company’s
business and intends to refer to them in discussions about our operations
and performance. Operating performance measures should be viewed
in addition to, and not as an alternative to or substitute for,
measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and are
not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented
by other companies. To the extent applicable, reconciliations
of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable
GAAP measures can be found in the ‘Non-GAAP Reconciliation Tables’
included in the presentation. You should assume that all
numbers are unaudited unless otherwise noted. Page 2 U.S. CENTURY
