Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Net Income Decline: Net income decreased to $1.10 million for the quarter (from $1.56 million in Q2 2024) and $2.32 million for the six-month period (from $2.52 million). This was primarily driven by a $1.5 million increase in non-interest expenses.
• Expense Growth: Non-interest expenses rose to $12.23 million for the quarter and $23.95 million for the six months. Increases were attributed to higher salaries and benefits ($827k and $1.7M increases respectively), a one-time business and occupation tax accrual ($242k), and fraud-related losses ($113k).
• Net Interest Income Expansion: Despite higher expenses, Net Interest Income (NII) increased by $839,000 for the quarter and $1.86 million for the six months compared to the prior year. This was driven by higher loan yields (5.11% vs 4.80% for the quarter) and reduced interest expense on borrowings due to lower FHLB advance balances and rates.
• Asset Quality: Nonperforming loans increased to $776,000 (0.05% of total assets) from $155,000 at the prior fiscal year-end. However, the Company recorded no provision for credit losses for the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a $100,000 provision in the prior year.
• Loan Portfolio: Total loans remained relatively flat at $1.05 billion. Commercial real estate loans increased by $10.8 million, and consumer loans increased by $8.8 million, offset by decreases in commercial business and construction loans.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Capital Position: The Bank remains "well capitalized" under FDIC regulatory frameworks. Total Capital Ratio was 16.51% and Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 11.26% as of September 30, 2025.
• Dividends and Buybacks: The Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.02 per share. Under a program authorized in April 2025, the Company repurchased 156,347 shares for $811,000 during the quarter, with approximately $1.19 million remaining available under the $2.0 million authorization.
• Strategic Priorities: Management continues to focus on profitable growth through commercial lending, digital experience enhancements, and deepening client relationships to grow core deposits.
• Risk Factors: Key risks include interest rate volatility, credit quality deterioration in commercial real estate, inflationary pressures, and the potential for goodwill impairment if stock prices or market capitalization decline significantly. The Company noted that future economic conditions could necessitate increases in the ACL.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Expense Drivers: Verify the sustainability of the $242,000 one-time tax accrual and the nature of the $113,000 fraud-related loss to assess future expense baselines.
• Nonperforming Loans: Monitor the increase in nonperforming loans from $155k to $776k, specifically the $670k in commercial business loans, to ensure the ACL remains adequate.
• Deposit Composition: Review the shift in deposit mix, noting the decrease in core branch deposits ($8.5 million) and the reliance on certificates of deposit to fund loan growth.
• Goodwill Valuation: Confirm the Company's qualitative assessment of goodwill remains valid given market conditions, as impairment could materially impact earnings.
• Stock Repurchase Activity: Track the remaining $1.19 million authorization under the buyback program and its impact on share count and EPS.
