NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: On January 15, 2020, Bogota Financial Corp. (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) became the mid-tier stock holding company for Bogota Savings Bank (the “Bank”) in connection with the reorganization of Bogota Savings Bank into the two-tier mutual holding company structure.

The Bank maintains 2two subsidiaries. Bogota Securities Corp. was formed for the purpose of buying, selling and holding investment securities. Bogota Properties, LLC was inactive at ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Bank generally originates residential, commercial and consumer loans to, and accepts deposits from, customers in New Jersey. The debtors’ ability to repay the loans is dependent upon the region’s economy and the borrowers’ circumstances. The Bank is also subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examination by those regulatory authorities.

The Company completed its stock offering in connection with the mutual holding company reorganization of the Bank on January 15, 2020. Shares of the Company’s common stock began trading on January 16, 2020 on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “BSBK.”

Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or stockholders' equity.

Earnings per Share: Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For purposes of calculating basic EPS, weighted average common shares outstanding excludes unallocated employee stock ownership plan shares that have not been committed for release and non-vested shares of restricted stock. Diluted EPS is computed using the same method as basic EPS and reflects the potential dilution which could occur if stock options shares were exercised and converted into common stock. The potentially diluted shares would then be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method. For the ~~three-and-six month~~three-and nine-month periods ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, options to purchase 526,119 common shares with an exercise price of $10.45 were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. ~~The Company did~~ 0~~t have any outstanding stock~~Anti-dilutive options ~~or shares~~are those options with weighted average exercise prices in excess of ~~restricted stock~~the weighted average market value for the ~~three and six-month~~ periods ~~ended June 30, 2021.~~presented.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ under different conditions than those assumed.

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting in Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth ~~company”~~company,” we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. These financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and its subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year or any other period.

The unaudited financial statements and other financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements, and related notes, of Bogota Financial Corp. at and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Not Yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, March 2020, to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by what the guidance calls “reference rate reform” if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or re assess a previous accounting determination. Also, entities can elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met, and can make a one-time election to sell and/or reclassify held-to-maturity debt securities that reference an interest rate affected by reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities upon issuance through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This Update is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The underlying premise of the Update is that financial assets measured at amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The income statement will be affected for the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. With certain exceptions, transition to the new requirements will be through a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. This Update is effective for SEC filers that qualify as smaller reporting companies, non-SEC filers, and all other companies, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has no history of credit losses and therefore will use the Remaining Life (WARM) method and rely on the use of qualitative factors to determine future credit losses. The Company expects to recognize a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of January 1, ~~2023. The Company cannot yet determine the magnitude~~2023 of ~~any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact~~under $500,000 of ~~the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.~~additional loan loss reserve.

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITION OF GIBRALTAR BANK

On February 28, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Gibraltar Bank. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Gibraltar Bank merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving entity. Under the terms of the merger agreement, depositors of Gibraltar Bank became depositors of the Bank and have the same rights and privileges in Bogota Financial MHC as if their accounts had been established at the Bank on the date established at Gibraltar Bank. The Company issued 1,267,916 shares of its common stock to Bogota Financial, MHC in conjunction with the acquisition.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The assets and liabilities, both tangible and intangible, were recorded at their fair values as of February 28, 2021 based on management’s best estimate using the information available as of the merger date. The application of the acquisition method of accounting resulted in the recognition of bargain purchase gain of $1.9 million and a core deposit intangible of $400,000 in 2021.

Unrealized losses on corporate bonds available for sale have not been recognized into income because the issuer bonds are of high credit quality, management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value was largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. At ~~June~~September 30, 2022, 100% of the mortgage-backed securities were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily FNMA and FHLMC, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. Because the decline in fair value iswas attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Bank does not have the intent to sell these mortgage-backed securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Bank does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporary impaired at ~~June~~September 30, 2022. At ~~June~~September 30, 2022, securities available for sale with a carrying value of $144,705 were pledged to secure public deposits. There were 0no securities available for sale and pledged to secure public deposits at December 31, 2021. There were 53 securities in a loss position at ~~June~~September 30, 2022, none of which were considered to be other-than-temporally impaired. The securities in a loss position were due to the increase in interest rates during the year. None of the securities has adversely effected credit.

Unrecognized losses have not been recognized into income because the issuers of the securities are of high credit quality, management does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that management would be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value was largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach maturity. At ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, securities held to maturity with a carrying amount of $~~6,643,645~~6,329,645 and $8,363,997, respectively, were pledged to secure repurchase agreements at the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. There were 57 securities in a loss position at ~~June~~September 30, 2022, none of which were considered to be other-than-temporally impaired. The securities in a loss position were due to the increase in interest rates during the year. None of the securities has adversely effected credit. At ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, securities held to maturity with a carrying value of $~~4,792,454~~4,457,302 and $3,976,629, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Bank 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. The Bank analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. Commercial and multi-family real estate, commercial and industrial and construction loans are graded on an annual basis. Residential and consumer loans are primarily evaluated based on performance. Refer to the immediately preceding table for the aging of the recorded investment of these loan segments. The Bank uses the following definitions 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 the institution’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 the institution will sustain 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 above are considered to be Pass rated loans.

NOTE 6 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION (Continued)

On September 2, 2021, options to purchase 526,119 shares of Company common stock were awarded, with a grant date fair value of $4.37 per option. Stock options granted under the 2021 Plan vest in equal installments over a service period of five years beginning one year from the date of grant. Stock options were granted at an exercise price of $10.45, which represents the fair value of the Company's common stock price on the grant date based on the closing market price and have an expiration period of 10 years.

The fair value of stock options granted was estimated utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: expected life of 6.5 years, risk-free rate of return of 0.904%, volatility of 41.10%, and a dividend yield of 0.00%.

The expected life of the options represents the period of time that stock options are expected to be outstanding and is estimated using the simplified approach, which assumes that all outstanding options will be exercised at the midpoint of the vesting date and full contractual term. The risk-free rate of return is based on the rates on the grant date of a U.S. Treasury Note with a term equal to the expected option life. Since at the date of grant, the Company was a recently converted ~~to a~~ public Company and ~~does~~did not have sufficient historical price data, the expected volatility iswas based on the historical daily stock prices of a peer group of similar entities based on factors such as industry, stage of life cycle, size and financial leverage. The Company has 0not paid any cash dividends on its common stock.

Management recognizes expense for the fair value of these awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, approximately $115,000 and $~~230,000~~345,000 in expense was recognized in regard to these awards, respectively. ~~There was~~ 0 ~~stock option expense recorded for~~During the three ~~or six~~and nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2021.~~2021, approximately $115,000 and $115,000 in expense was recognized in regard to these awards, respectively.

NOTE 7 – EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

In connection with our mutual-to-stock reorganization and stock offering, the Bank established an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”), which acquired 515,775 shares of the Company’s common stock equaling 3.92% of the Company's outstanding shares. The ESOP is a tax-qualified retirement plan providing employees the opportunity to own Company stock. Bank contributions to the ESOP are allocated to eligible participants on the basis of compensation, subject to federal tax limits. The number of shares to be allocated annually is 25,789 through 2039. During the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, $~~70,000~~71,000 and $~~65,000~~67,000 was incurred as expense for the plan, respectively.

Note 8 – ~~Commitments and Contingencies~~DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITES

The ~~Bank is a party to~~Company uses derivative financial instruments as components of its market risk management, principally to manage interest rate risk. Certain derivatives are entered into in connection with ~~off-balance sheet risk~~transactions with commercial customers. Derivatives are not used for speculative purposes. All derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the ~~normal course~~Consolidated Statements of ~~business~~Financial Condition, reported at fair value and presented on a gross basis. Until a derivative is settled, a favorable change in fair value results in an unrealized gain that is recognized as an asset, while an unfavorable change in fair value results in an unrealized loss that is recognized as a liability.

The Company generally applies hedge accounting to ~~meet~~its derivatives used for market risk management purposes. Hedge accounting is permitted only if specific criteria are met, including a requirement that a highly effective relationship exists between the ~~financing needs~~derivative instrument and the hedged item, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis. Changes in the fair value of effective fair value hedges are recognized in current earnings (with the change in fair value of the hedged asset or liability also recognized in earnings). Changes in the fair value of effective cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item. Ineffective portions of hedge results are recognized in current earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives for which hedge accounting is not applied are recognized in current earnings.

The Company formally documents at inception all relationships between the derivative instruments and the hedged items, as well as its ~~customers~~risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as hedges to ~~reduce its own exposure~~specific assets and liabilities, or to ~~fluctuations~~specific firm commitments. The Company also formally assesses, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in ~~interest rates. These~~hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair values or cash flows of the hedged items. If it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective or has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company would discontinue hedge accounting prospectively. Gains or losses resulting from the termination of a derivative accounted for as a cash flow hedge remain in other comprehensive income (loss) and is (accreted) amortized to earnings over the remaining period of the former hedging relationship.

Certain derivative financial instruments are offered to certain commercial banking customers to manage their risk of exposure and risk management strategies. These derivative instruments consist primarily ~~include commitments to extend credit. Such instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements~~ of ~~credit~~currency forward contracts and interest rate swap contracts. The risk associated with these transactions is mitigated by simultaneously entering into similar transactions having essentially offsetting terms with a third party. In addition, the Company executes interest rate swaps with third parties in ~~excess~~order to hedge the interest rate risk of short-term FHLB advances.

Interest Rate Swaps. At September 30, 2022, the Company had one interest rate swap with a notional amounts of $10.0 million hedging certain FHLB advances. This interest rate swap meets the cash flow hedge accounting requirements. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the ~~amount recognized~~agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no interest rate swaps. At both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no interest rate swaps in ~~the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in those particular classes of financial instruments.~~place with commercial banking customers,

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Unless they are specifically cancelled by notice from the Bank, these funds represent firm commitments available to the respective borrowers on demand.~~

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but primarily includes commercial and residential real estate.

NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) 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 bank’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Bank used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

The Bank’s available-for-sale portfolio is carried at estimated fair value on a recurring basis, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income/loss in stockholders’ equity. The securities available-for-sale portfolio consists of corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities. The fair values of these securities are obtained from an independent nationally recognized pricing service. An independent pricing service provides prices which are categorized as Level 2, as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are generally not available for the securities.

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents. The fair value of loans is determined using an exit price methodology. Certificates of deposits fair value is estimated by using a discounted cash flow approach. Fair value of FHLB advances is based on current rates for similar financing. Other balance sheet instruments such as accrued interest receivable, accrued interest payable and Bank owned life insurance holding costs approximate fair value. The fair value of off-balance sheet items is not considered material.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations at ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and ~~June~~September 30, 2021 is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of Bogota Financial Corp. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect” and words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

•

statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

•

statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;

•

statements regarding the quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

•

estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

•

general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market area, that are worse than expected;

•

the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition and results of operation;

•

changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies, charge-offs and non-performing and classified loans and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses;

•

our ability to access cost-effective funding;

•

fluctuations in real estate values and both residential and commercial real estate market conditions;

•

demand for loans and deposits in our market area;

•

our ability to continue to implement our business strategies;

•

competition among depository and other financial institutions;

•

inflation and changes in market interest rates that reduce our margins and yields, reduce the fair value of financial instruments or reduce our volume of loan originations, or increase the level of defaults, losses and prepayments on loans we have made and make whether held in portfolio or sold in the secondary market;

•

adverse changes in the securities markets;

•

changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements;

•

our ability to manage market risk, credit risk and operational risk;

•

our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

•

our ability to successfully integrate into our operations any assets, liabilities or systems we may acquire, as well as new management personnel or customers, and our ability to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames and any goodwill charges related thereto;

•

changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

•

changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

•

our ability to retain key employees;

•

risks as it relates to cyber security against our information technology and those of our third-party providers and ~~vendors.~~vendors;

•

the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, terrorism or other geopolitical events;

•

our compensation expense associated with equity allocated or awarded to our employees; and

•

changes in the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the global and nation economy and certain industries and geographies in which our clients operate. Given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business of the Company, its clients, employees and third-party service providers. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain. Additionally, the responses of various governmental and nongovernmental authorities and consumers to the pandemic may have material long-term effects on the Company and its clients which are difficult to quantify in the near-term or long-term.

Moreover, our future success and profitability substantially depends on the management skills of our executive officers and directors, many of whom have held officer and director positions with us for many years. The unanticipated loss or unavailability of key employees due to the pandemic could harm our ability to operate our business or execute our business strategy. We may not be successful in finding and integrating suitable successors in the event of key employee loss or unavailability.

Acquisition of Gibraltar

On February 28, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Gibraltar Bank. As a part of the transaction, the Company issued 1,267,916 shares of its common stock to Bogota Financial, MHC. The conversion and consolidation of data processing platforms, systems and customer files occurred on August 16, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies

A summary of our accounting policies is described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included with our Annual Report on Form 10-K at and for the year ended December 31, 2021. Critical accounting estimates are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and procedures and are particularly susceptible to significant change. Critical accounting policies are defined as those involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that could have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income under different assumptions or conditions. Actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates under different conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying values of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations. There have been no significant changes to the Company's critical accounting policies since December 31, 2021.

COVID-19

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the Bank had granted 172 loan modifications totaling $67.9 million, which represented 11.6% of the total loan portfolio, allowing customers who were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic to defer principal and/or interest payments. These short-term loan modifications were treated in accordance with Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and, as such, were not treated as troubled debt restructurings during the short-term modification period if the loan was not in arrears at December 31, 2019.

Furthermore, these loans continued to accrue interest. As of September 30, 2022, the Bank had no loans still on deferral status.

As a qualified Small Business Administration (“SBA”) lender, the Bank was automatically authorized to originate loans under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. Changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionally based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and ~~June~~September 30, 2021

General. Net income increased by ~~$203,000,~~$888,000, or ~~14.1%~~85.2%, to ~~$1.6~~$1.9 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$1.4~~$1.0 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The increase was due to an increase in net interest income of ~~$930,000,~~$1.1 million and a decrease of $137,000 in non-interest expense, offset by a decrease in non-interest income of ~~$280,000~~$105,000 and an increase of ~~$154,000~~$150,000 in ~~the~~ provision for loan losses.

Interest Income. Interest income increased ~~$709,000,~~$1.7 million, or ~~11.4%~~26.1%, to ~~$6.9~~$8.2 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The increase reflected an ~~$18.2~~$85.0 million increase in the average balance of interest-earnings assets, and a 2945 basis points increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets to ~~3.46%~~3.75% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~3.17%~~3.30% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Interest income on cash and cash equivalents decreased ~~$13,000,~~$3,000, or ~~31.7%~~36.3%, to ~~$28,000~~$30,000 for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$41,000~~$33,000 for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 due to a ~~$79.2~~$95.5 million decrease in the average balance of cash and cash equivalents to ~~$20.7~~$5.9 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$100.0~~$101.5 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, reflecting the use of excess liquidity to fund loan originations and purchase investment securities. This was offset by a 39192 basis point increase in the average yield on cash and cash equivalents from ~~0.16%~~0.13% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 to ~~0.55%~~2.05% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 due to the higher interest rate environment.

Interest income on loans increased ~~$164,000,~~$1.1 million, or ~~2.9%~~17.6%, to ~~$5.8~~$7.0 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to ~~$5.7~~$6.0 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 due primarily to an $85.4 million increase in the average balance of loans to $670.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $584.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and, to a ~~nine~~lesser extent, due to a ten basis point increase in the average yield on loans from ~~3.86%~~4.05% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 to ~~3.95%~~4.15% for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022 and by a $2.6 million increase in the average balance of loans to $593.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $591.1 million for the three months ended June~~September 30,

~~2021.~~2022.

Interest income on securities increased ~~$578,000,~~$637,000, or ~~143.9%~~150.1%, to ~~$979,000~~$1.1 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$401,000~~$424,000 for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 due primarily to a ~~29 basis point increase in the average yield from 1.86% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to 2.15% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was also due to a $95.7~~$94.0 million increase in the average balance of securities to ~~$182.3~~$182.6 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$86.6~~$88.6 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, reflecting the purchase of investments with excess ~~liquidity.~~liquidity, and to a lesser extent, due to a 41 basis point increase in the average yield from 1.91% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to 2.32% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest Expense. Interest expense ~~decreased $221,000,~~increased $557,000, or ~~15.5%~~39.5%, to ~~$1.2~~$2.0 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from $1.4 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The decrease primarily reflected a 1721 basis point ~~decrease~~increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to ~~0.73%~~1.08% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~0.90%~~0.87% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits ~~decreased $201,000,~~increased $209,000, or ~~19.1%~~20.1%, to ~~$850,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $1.1~~$1.3 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The ~~decrease~~increase was due ~~primarily~~ to a 19seven basis point ~~decrease~~increase in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits to ~~0.59%~~0.82% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~0.78%~~0.75% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The ~~decrease~~increase in the average cost of deposits was due to ~~lower~~higher average balances and ~~lower~~higher average costs of certificates of deposit. This ~~decrease~~increase was ~~offset by~~also due to a ~~$40.3~~$54.2 million increase in the average balance of total deposits to ~~$579.2~~$602.2 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$539.0~~$548.0 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings ~~decreased $20,000,~~increased $348,000, or ~~5.4%~~94.0%, from ~~$376,000~~$369,000 for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 to ~~$356,000~~$717,000 for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The ~~decrease~~increase was due to a decrease in the average balance of borrowings of $13.8 million to $86.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $100.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was offset by an increase in the average cost of borrowings of ~~nine~~78 basis points to ~~1.59%~~2.30% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~1.50%~~1.52% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 due to the higher newer borrowing rates. The increase was also due to an increase in the average balance of borrowings of $32.5 million to $128.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $96.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased ~~$930,000,~~$1.1 million, or ~~19.5%~~22.3%, to ~~$5.7~~$6.2 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$4.8~~$5.1 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The increase reflected a 4525 basis point increase in our net interest rate spread to ~~2.73%~~2.68% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~2.28%~~2.43% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. ~~Our~~The net interest margin increased 4127 basis points to 2.85% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~2.44%~~2.58% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Provision for Loan Losses. WeThe Bank recorded a ~~$100,000~~$175,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 ~~and recorded~~compared to a ~~$54,000 credit~~$25,000 provision for the three-month period ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Higher balances in residential and construction loans were the reason for the provision for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The Bank continues to have a low level of delinquent and non-accrual loans in the portfolio, as well as no charge-offs. Non-performing assets were $1.9 million, or ~~0.21%~~0.20% of total assets, at ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The allowance for loan losses was ~~$2.3~~$2.4 million, or ~~0.36%~~0.34% of loans outstanding and ~~120.8%~~128.8% of nonperforming loans, at ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased by ~~$280,000,~~$105,000, or ~~52.4%~~28.0%, to ~~$254,000~~$270,000 for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$533,000~~$374,000 for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Gain on sale of loans decreased ~~$284,000~~$127,000 as the Bank decided to portfolio loans rather than sell loans. This decrease was offset by a ~~$24,000,~~$28,000, or ~~16.7%~~17.8%, increase in bank-owned life insurance to ~~$169,000~~$185,000 for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$145,000~~$157,000 for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 due to a $5.0 million purchase of bank-owned life insurance during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Non-Interest Expense. For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, non-interest expense ~~increased $17,000,~~decreased $137,000, or ~~0.5%~~3.6%, over the comparable 2021 ~~period.~~period primarily due to the $370,000 of expense related to the data processing conversion in 2021. Salaries and employee benefits increased ~~$63,000,~~$125,000, or ~~3.1%~~6.2%, due to the new ~~stock compensation~~equity plan established in September ~~2021.~~2021 and due to more employees due to the acquisition and the addition of a sixth branch office. Data processing expense increased ~~$18,000,~~$54,000, or ~~5.9%~~21.1%, due to higher ~~data processing expense~~costs associated with being a larger organization. Professional fees ~~decreased $57,000,~~increased $35,000, or ~~27.5%~~27.2%, due in part to ~~lower~~the settlement of a legal ~~expense~~case in 2022. ~~Merger fees expenses were $74,000 in 2021.~~ The increase in ~~occupancy and equipment expenses~~advertising expense of ~~$48,000,~~$96,000, or ~~16.2%~~160.2%, was due to ~~increased costs~~additional promotions for ~~the acquired Gibraltar Bank branches~~branch locations and ~~the~~ new ~~Hasbrouck Heights branch office.~~promotions on deposit and loan products.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased ~~$277,000,~~$127,000, or ~~80.1%~~21.0%, to ~~$623,000~~$734,000 for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$346,000~~$607,000 for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The increase was due to ~~$422,000~~$1.0 million of higher taxable income. The effective tax rate for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 were ~~27.51%~~27.55% and ~~19.38%~~36.80%, respectively. For the period ending September 30, 2021 there was a true up expense after the tax returns were completed resulting in a higher effective tax rate.

Comparison of Operating Results for the ~~Six~~Nine Months Ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and 2021

General. Net income decreased by ~~$1.4 million,~~$514,000, or ~~31.5%~~9.4%, to ~~$3.0~~$5.0 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$4.4~~$5.5 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The decrease was due to a decrease in non-interest income of ~~$2.3~~$2.4 million, ~~an increase in non-interest expenses of $126,000,~~ an increase in provision for loan losses of ~~$213,000,~~$363,000, and an increase of ~~$284,000~~$412,000 in income taxes, offset by an increase in net interest income of ~~$1.5~~$2.6 million.

Interest Income. Interest income increased ~~$714,000,~~$2.4 million, or ~~5.7%~~12.7%, to ~~$13.2~~$21.4 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$12.5~~$19.0 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The increase reflected a ~~$29.1~~$47.9 million increase in the average balance of interest-earnings assets, and a ~~six~~20 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets to ~~3.33%~~3.49% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~3.27%~~3.29% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Interest income on cash and cash equivalents decreased ~~$34,000,~~$30,000, or ~~37.4%~~33.6%, to ~~$57,000~~$89,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$91,000~~$119,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 due to a ~~$49.6~~$65.1 million decrease in the average balance of cash and cash equivalents to ~~$46.0~~$32.5 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$95.6~~$97.6 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, reflecting the use of excess liquidity to fund loan originations and purchase investment securities. This was offset by a ~~six~~20 basis point increase in the average yield on cash and cash equivalents from ~~0.19%~~0.16% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 to ~~0.25%~~0.36% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 due to the higher interest rate environment.

Interest income on loans increased ~~$236,000,~~$1.3 million, or ~~2.1%~~7.5%, to ~~$11.4~~$18.4 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to ~~$11.2~~$17.1 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 due primarily to a $27.1 million increase in the average balance of loans to $612.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $585.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and, to a lesser extent, due to a ten basis point increase in the average yield on loans from ~~3.83%~~3.91% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 to ~~3.92%~~4.01% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2022 offset by a $2.5 million decrease in the average balance of loans to $582.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $585.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.~~2022.

Interest income on securities increased ~~$550,000,~~$1.2 million, or ~~51.7%~~78.4%, to ~~$1.6~~$2.7 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$1.1~~$1.5 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 due to ~~an $82.2~~a $86.2 million increase in the average balance of securities to ~~$160.7~~$168.1 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$78.5~~$81.9 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, reflecting the purchase of investments with excess liquidity. The increase was offset by a 7332 basis point decrease in the average yield from ~~2.77%~~2.46% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 to ~~2.04%~~2.14% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased ~~$760,000,~~$204,000, or ~~24.3%~~4.5%, to ~~$2.4~~$4.3 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$3.1~~$4.5 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The decrease primarily reflected a 2811 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to ~~0.73%~~0.85% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~1.01%~~0.96% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, offset by a ~~$29.4~~$46.9 million, or ~~4.7%~~7.3%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities from ~~$625.2~~$631.6 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 to ~~$684.6~~$678.5 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased ~~$638,000,~~$430,000, or ~~27.6%~~12.8%, to ~~$1.7~~$2.9 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$2.3~~$3.4 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The decrease was due primarily to ~~a 31~~an 18 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits to ~~0.59%~~0.67% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~0.90%~~0.85% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The decrease in the average cost of deposits was due to ~~lower~~a higher average ~~balances~~balance of core deposits, offset by a decrease in the average balance and ~~lower~~ average ~~costs~~cost of certificates of deposit. This decrease was offset by a ~~$48.9~~$50.6 million increase in the average balance of deposits to ~~$570.2~~$581.0 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$521.3~~$530.3 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2021.~~2021, primarily due to a $47.4 million increase in the average balance of NOW and money market accounts from $99.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $146.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings ~~decreased $122,000,~~increased $226,000, or ~~15.1%~~19.2%, from ~~$808,000~~$1.2 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 to ~~$686,000~~$1.4 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The ~~decrease~~increase was due to a

decrease in the average balance of borrowings of $19.5 million to $84.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $103.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was offset by an increase in the average cost of borrowings of ~~seven~~37 basis points to ~~1.64%~~1.92% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~1.57%~~1.55% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 due to the higher new borrowing rates. The increase was offset by a decrease in the average balance of borrowings of $3.7 million to $97.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from $101.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased ~~$1.5~~$2.6 million, or ~~15.8%~~18.1%, to ~~$10.8~~$17.0 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$9.4~~$14.4 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The increase reflected a 3430 basis point increase in ~~our~~the net interest rate spread to ~~2.61%~~2.63% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~2.27%~~2.33% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. ~~Our~~The net interest margin increased 2928 basis points to ~~2.75%~~2.78% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~2.46%~~2.50% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Provision for Loan Losses. WeThe Bank recorded a ~~$100,000~~$275,000 provision for loan losses ~~for~~ the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 compared to a ~~$113,000~~$88,000 credit for the ~~six month period~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Higher balances in residential and construction loans were the reason for the provision for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The Bank continues to have a low level of delinquent and non-accrual loans in the portfolio, as well as no charge-offs.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased by ~~$2.3~~$2.4 million, or ~~79.0%~~73.1%, to ~~$598,000~~$868,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$2.9~~$3.2 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, there was a $1.9 million bargain purchase gain recognized in the Gibraltar Bank acquisition in 2021. Gain on sale of loans decreased ~~$433,000~~$560,000, or ~~83.3%~~86.6%, to $87,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$520,000~~$647,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The decrease was due to less sales as the Bank decided to retail more originated loans in the higher rate environment. Bank-owned life insurance income increased ~~$91,000,~~$119,000, or ~~38.6%~~30.3%, to ~~$325,000~~$511,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$235,000~~$392,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2021.~~2021 due to a $5.0 million purchase of bank-owned life insurance during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Non-Interest Expense. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, non-interest expense ~~increased $126,000,~~decreased $12,000, or ~~1.8%~~0.1%, to ~~$7.1~~$10.8 million, over the comparable 2021 period. Salaries and employee benefits increased ~~$588,000,~~$713,000, or ~~16.4%~~12.7%, due to ~~the new stock compensation~~a equity plan ~~started~~implemented in September ~~2021.~~2021 and due to more employees due to the acquisition and the addition of a sixth branch office. Data processing expense increased ~~$88,000,~~$143,000, or ~~17.0%~~18.3%, due to higher data processing expense associated with a larger company. Advertising expense increased ~~$92,000~~$188,000 due to additional promotions for branch locations and new ~~promotions.~~promotions for loan and deposit products. Professional fees decreased ~~$172,000,~~$137,000, or ~~36.8%~~23.0%, due to lower consulting expense. Merger fees and core conversion costs were ~~$752,000~~$1.1 million in 2021. The increase in equipment and occupancy expenses of ~~$126,000,~~$134,000, or ~~22.4%~~14.9%, was mainly due to the additional branch locations.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased ~~$284,000,~~$412,000, or 28.0%, to ~~$1.1~~$1.9 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$864,000~~$1.5 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The increase was due to ~~$683,000~~$1.3 million of higher taxable income. The effective tax rate for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 and

2021 were ~~27.40%~~27.46% and ~~16.28%~~21.14% respectively. The lower tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was due to higher tax free income.

Management of Market Risk

General. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage our exposure to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, our board of directors has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee (the “ALCO”), which is comprised of three members of executive management and two independent directors, which oversees the asset/liability management processes and related procedures. The ALCO meets on at least a quarterly basis and reviews asset/liability strategies, liquidity positions, alternative funding sources, interest rate risk measurement reports, capital levels and economic trends at both national and local levels. Our interest rate risk position is also monitored quarterly by the board of directors.

We manage our interest rate risk to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in market interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk: originating and purchasing loans with adjustable interest rates; promoting core deposit products; monitoring the length of our borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank and brokered deposits depending on the interest rate environment; maintaining a significant portion of our investments as available-for-sale; diversifying our loan portfolio; and strengthening our capital position. By following these strategies, we believe that we are better positioned to react to changes in market interest rates.

Net Portfolio Value Simulation. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through a net portfolio value of equity (“NPV”) model. NPV represents the present value of the expected cash flows from our assets less the present value of the expected cash flows arising from our liabilities, adjusted for the value of off-balance sheet contracts. The NPV ratio represents the dollar amount of our NPV divided by the present value of our total assets for a given interest rate scenario. NPV attempts to quantify our economic value using a discounted cash flow methodology while the NPV ratio reflects that value as a form of capital ratio. We estimate what our NPV would be at a specific date. We then calculate what the NPV would be at the same date throughout a series of interest rate scenarios representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve. We currently calculate NPV under the assumptions that interest rates increase 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points from current market rates and that interest rates decrease 100 and 200 basis points from current market rates.

The following table presents the estimated changes in our net portfolio value that would result from changes in market interest rates as ~~June~~September 30, 2022. All estimated changes presented in the table are within the policy limits approved by the board of directors.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The above table assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the date indicated remains constant uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our NPV and will differ from actual results.

Net Interest Income Analysis. We also use income simulation to measure interest rate risk inherent in our balance sheet at a given point in time by showing the effect on net interest income, over specified time frames and using different interest rate shocks and ramps. The assumptions include management’s best assessment of the effect of changing interest rates on the prepayment speeds of certain assets and liabilities, projections for account balances in each of the product lines offered and the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates. These assumptions are subject to change, and as a result, the model is not expected to precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in the balance sheet composition and market conditions. Assumptions are supported with quarterly back testing of the model to actual market rate shifts.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, net interest income simulation results indicated that its exposure over one year to changing interest rates was within our guidelines. The following table presents the estimated impact of interest rate changes on our estimated net interest income over one year:


Changes in Interest Rates (basis points)(1)	Change in Net Interest Income Year One (% change from year one base)			Change in Net Interest Income Year One (% change from year one base)
400	(15.09)%				(23.75	)%
300		(10.97	)		(17.83	)
200		(6.80	)		(11.87	)
100		(2.67	)		(5.90	)
—	—			—
(100)		(0.86	)		4.53
(200)		2.86			(0.94	)

(1)

The calculated change in net interest income assumes an instantaneous parallel shift of the yield curve.

The preceding simulation analyses does not represent a forecast of actual results and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions, which are subject to change, including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including the yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows, and others. Also, as market conditions vary, prepayment/refinancing levels, the varying impact of interest rate changes on caps and floors embedded in adjustable-rate loans, early withdrawal of deposits, changes in product preferences, and other internal/external variables will likely deviate from those assumed.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. Liquidity describes our ability to meet financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities and proceeds from calls, maturities and sales of securities and sales of loans. We also have the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. At ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we had the ability to borrow up to ~~$260.0~~$329.5 million, of which ~~$115.0~~$128.0 million was outstanding and $1.5 million was utilized as collateral for letters of credit issued to secure municipal deposits. At ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we had $51.0 million in unsecured lines of credit with four correspondent banks with no outstanding balance.

The board of directors is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We believe that we had ~~enough~~ample sources of liquidity to satisfy our short- and long-term liquidity needs as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any period. At ~~June~~September 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled ~~$7.6~~$13.3 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled ~~$97.5~~$88.1 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Certificates of deposit due within one year of ~~June~~September 30, 2022 totaled ~~$206.1~~$244.7 million, or ~~33.7%~~40.0% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or borrowings than we currently pay. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

Capital Resources. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At ~~June~~September 30, 2022, we exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and were considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. As a result of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, as modified in April 2020, the federal banking agencies were required to develop a “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” (the ratio of a bank's Tier 1 “equity capital to average total consolidated assets) for financial institutions with less than $10 billion. A “qualifying community bank” with capital exceeding 9% will be considered compliant with all applicable regulatory capital and leverage requirements, including the capital requirements to be considered "well capitalized” under Prompt Corrective Action statutes. As a result of the CARES Act, the ratio was temporarily reduced to 8% for calendar year 2020 and 8.5% for calendar year 2021 in response to ~~COVID-19.~~COVID-19 and transitioned back to 9% as of January 1, 2022. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2022, the Bank is reporting as a qualifying community bank with a ratio of 17.50%.
