Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Profitability: Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2026, increased 43.1% to $0.97 million compared to $0.68 million in the same period in 2025. For the six-month period, net income rose 36.7% to $1.81 million from $1.32 million.
• Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased 15.9% quarter-over-quarter and 9.4% year-to-date, driven by a higher net interest margin (3.69% vs. 3.09% for the quarter) and increased loan yields (6.35% vs. 5.69%).
• Asset Growth: Total assets grew 3.4% to $444.3 million, primarily due to a $10.9 million increase in net loans and leases and a $2.8 million increase in interest-bearing deposits in banks.
• Expense Management: Noninterest expenses increased 6.3% for the quarter and 7.2% year-to-date, largely due to higher salaries, data processing fees, and technology implementation costs.
• Provision for Credit Losses: The provision increased to $104,000 for the quarter (from a credit of $42,000 in 2025) and $110,000 for the six months (from $71,000 in 2025), reflecting increased loan production and balances.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Capital Position: The Bank is "well-capitalized" under the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (CBLR) framework, with a leverage ratio of 12.13% as of June 30, 2026, exceeding the 9.0% requirement.
• Liquidity: The Company maintains strong liquidity with $7.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. It has $103.8 million in unused borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank and $8.0 million in unused lines with correspondent banks.
• Asset Quality: Nonaccrual loans totaled $1.29 million ($1.04 million without allowance, $0.25 million with allowance). Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) decreased to $9.1 million, consisting of three properties actively marketed for sale.
• Market Risk: The Company is asset-sensitive. Modeling indicates a 200 basis point increase in interest rates would increase net interest income by 6.86%, while a 200 basis point decrease would reduce it by 3.60%.
• Unrealized Losses: The securities portfolio held $5.6 million in gross unrealized losses (6.3% of the AFS portfolio), primarily due to market interest rate increases rather than credit deterioration. Management intends to hold these securities to maturity.
• Legal Proceedings: The Company is a defendant in a legal action arising from normal business activities; management believes the action is without merit and does not expect a material adverse effect.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Loan Concentration: Verify the impact of the high concentration of 1-4 family residential loans (47.2% of the portfolio) and commercial real estate loans (20.6%) on future credit quality.
• OREO Disposition: Monitor the sale progress of the $9.1 million in Other Real Estate Owned, specifically the multi-family property ($5.7 million) and development projects.
• Deposit Stability: Assess the stability of the $48.9 million in deposits exceeding the FDIC insurance limit (14.4% of total deposits).
• Technology Costs: Review the sustainability of increased technology and data processing expenses ($231k and $570k respectively for the six months) related to new platform implementations.
• Securities Portfolio: Confirm the continued ability to hold securities with unrealized losses to maturity without forced sales impacting capital.
