1. Basis of Presentation

Organization and Nature of Operations

PB Bankshares, Inc., a Maryland ~~Corporation~~corporation (the “Company”) is the holding company of Presence Bank (the “Bank”) and was formed in connection with the conversion of the Bank from the mutual to the stock form of organization. On July 14, 2021, the mutual to stock conversion of the Bank was completed and the Company became the parent holding company for the Bank. Shares of the Company began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on July 15, 2021. The Company is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Bank”).

The Bank is a state-chartered savings bank established in 1919. The main office is located in Coatesville, Pennsylvania with three other branches located in New Holland, Oxford, and Georgetown, Pennsylvania. The Bank is principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using these deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to make loans primarily secured by real estate and, to a lesser extent, consumer loans. The Bank competes with other banking and financial institutions in its primary market communities encompassing Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, and Lebanon Counties in Pennsylvania. The Bank is regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities (the “PADOB”).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. The Bank also includes the accounts of CSB Investments, Inc. (“CSB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank located in Wilmington, Delaware. The sole purpose of CSB is to maintain and manage the Bank’s investment portfolio. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

~~The Conversion and Our Organizational Structure~~

On July 14, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering and the mutual-to-stock conversion of the Bank. The Bank is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The shares of the Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on July 15, 2021, under the ticker symbol “PBBK.”

The Company sold 2,777,250 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share for gross offering proceeds of $27,773,000. The Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) purchased 8% or 222,180 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market.

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial ~~information.~~information and with the instructions to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and ~~nine~~six month periods ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, ~~2022~~2023 or any other interim periods. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 as filed in the annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March ~~25, 2022 and annual report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2022.~~28, 2023.

~~The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements included herein.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses on loans, the valuation of deferred tax assets, and estimation of fair values.

While management uses available information to recognize estimated losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and underlying collateral values, if any. In addition, the FDIC and PADOB, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses. These agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examinations.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

This section provides a summary description of recent ASUs issued by the FASB to the ASC that had or that management expects may have an impact on the financial statements issued upon adoption. The Company is classified as an emerging growth company and has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with any new or revised financial accounting standards provided pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. Effective dates reflect this election.

Recently ~~Issued, But Not Yet Effective~~Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

~~During September~~In June 2016, the ~~FASB~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The ~~amendments in this~~ ASU, ~~among other things, require the measurement of all~~as amended, requires an entity to measure expected credit losses for financial assets ~~held~~carried at ~~the reporting date~~amortized cost based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ~~Financial institutions and~~Among other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition,things, the ASU ~~amends~~also amended the ~~accounting~~impairment model for ~~credit losses on available-for-sale debt~~available for sale securities and addressed purchased financial assets with ~~credit~~ deterioration. ~~The FASB has issued multiple updates to~~ ASU 2016-13 ~~as codified in Topic 326, including ASU’s 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-10, 2019-11, 2020-02, and 2020-03. The ASU is~~was effective for ~~fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Due to~~ the ~~Company’s extended transition period election,~~Company on January 1, 2023. The adjustment recorded at adoption established a reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $177,000. This adjustment, net of tax, reduced the ~~amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The~~opening retained earnings of the Company ~~is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements. An internal team has been formed~~ and the Company hired a vendor to assist with expected credit loss projections. The internal team has begun training with the vendor, running parallel calculations, validating the model and updating related polices and controls.

During May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief.” The amendments in this ASU provide entities that have certain instruments within the scope of Subtopic 326-20 with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments, upon the adoption of Topic 326. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. An entity that elects the fair value option should subsequently measure those instruments at fair value with changes in fair value flowing through earnings. The effective date and transition methodology for the amendments in ASU 2019-05 are the same as in ASU 2016-13. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2019-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

~~During November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” This ASU addresses issues raised~~Bank by stakeholders during the implementation of ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” Among other narrow-scope improvements, the new ASU clarifies guidance around how to report expected recoveries. “Expected recoveries” describes a situation in which an organization recognizes a full or partial write-off of the amortized cost basis

~~Table of Contents~~

of a financial asset, but then later determines that the amount written off, or a portion of that amount, will in fact be recovered. While applying the credit losses standard, stakeholders questioned whether expected recoveries were permitted on assets that had already shown credit deterioration at the time of purchase (also known as PCD assets). In response to this question, the ASU permits organizations to record expected recoveries on PCD assets. In addition to other narrow technical improvements, the ASU also reinforces existing guidance that prohibits organizations from recording negative allowances for available-for-sale debt securities. The effective date and transition methodology for the amendments in ASU 2019-11 are the same as in ASU 2016-13. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2019-11 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” These amendments provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Subsequently, in January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2021-01 “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope.” This ASU clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ASU also amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. An entity may elect to apply ASU No. 2021-01 on contract modifications that change the interest rate used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment retrospectively as of any date from the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, or prospectively to new modifications from any date within the interim period that includes or is subsequent to January 7, 2021, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued. An entity may elect to apply ASU No. 2021-01 to eligible hedging relationships existing$140,000 as of the ~~beginning~~date of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. The Company does not have any loans or other financial instruments that are directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR.adoption.

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” ASU 2022-02 addresses areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of the credit losses standard (ASU 2016-13) that introduced the CECL model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require a public business entity to disclose current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively, except for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. ~~For entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13,~~ ASU 2022-02 iswas effective for ~~fiscal years~~the Company on January 1, 2023. There was no material impact to the Company at adoption.

The following table illustrates the impact of adopting ASC 326 (in thousands):


	December 31, 2022		January 1, 2023		January 1, 2023

The following accounting policies have been updated in connection with the adoption of ASC 326 and apply to periods beginning after December ~~15,~~31, 2022. Accounting policies applying to prior periods are described in the 2022 including interim periods within those fiscal years. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU 2016-13, the effective dates for ASU 2022-02 are the same as the effective dates in ASU 2016-13. Early adoption is permitted if an entity has adopted ASU 2016-13. An entity may elect to early adopt the amendments about TDRs and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to vintage disclosures. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2022-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

~~Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements~~Annual Report.

~~During February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” Among other things,~~Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans: The allowance for credit losses on loans is established through charges to earnings in the ~~amendments~~form of a provision for credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance for credit losses for the difference

Table of Contents

between the carrying value of the loan and the estimated net realizable value or fair value of the collateral, if collateral dependent, when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance represents management’s current estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual term of loans, and is recorded at an amount that, in ~~ASU 2016-02, lessees will~~management’s judgment, reduces the recorded investment in loans to the net amount expected to be ~~required~~collected. No allowance for credit loss is recorded on accrued interest receivable and amounts written-off are reversed by an adjustment to ~~recognize~~interest income. Management’s judgment in determining the level of the allowance is based on evaluations of historical loan losses, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts relevant to the collectability of loans. Loans that share common risk characteristics are evaluated collectively using a discounted cash flow approach for all loans. The discounted cash flow approach used by the Company utilizes loan-level cash flow projections and pool-level assumptions. For all loan pools, cash flow projections and estimated expected losses are based in part on benchmarked peer data.

Management’s estimate of the allowance for credit losses on loans that are collectively evaluated also includes a qualitative assessment of available information relevant to assessing collectability that is not captured in the loss estimation process. This includes forecast that are reasonable and supportable concerning expectations of future economic conditions. The reasonable and supportable forecast period is a year. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

These qualitative risk factors include:

Lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices.

National, regional, and local economic and business conditions as well as the condition of various market segments, including the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans.

Nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans.

Volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans as well as other loan modifications.

Existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations.

Effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements.

Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff.

Quality of loan review and Board of Director oversight.

The effect of other external factors (i.e. competition, legal and regulatory requirements) on the level of estimated credit losses.

10.

Changes in inflationary environment.

Each factor is assigned a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on management’s best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. Adjustments to the factors are supported through documentation of changes in conditions in a narrative accompanying the allowance for credit losses calculation for our loan portfolio.

The evaluation also considers the following ~~for all leases (with the exception~~risk characteristics of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset foreach loan portfolio segment:

●

One- to four-family residential real estate loans carry risks associated with the continued creditworthiness of the borrower and changes in the value of the collateral.

Table of Contents

●

Commercial real estate loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of a business or a real estate project, in addition to other risks associated with the ownership of real estate, because repayment of these loans may be dependent upon the profitability and cash flows of the business or project.

●

Construction loans carry risks that the project may not be finished according to schedule, the project may not be finished according to budget, and the value of the collateral may, at any point in time, be less than the principal amount of the loan. Construction loans also bear the risk that the general contractor, who may or may not be a loan customer, may be unable to finish the construction project as planned because of financial pressure or other factors unrelated to the project.

●

Commercial and industrial loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of a business because repayment of these loans may be dependent upon the profitability and cash flows of the business. In addition, there is risk associated with the value of collateral other than real estate which may depreciate over time and cannot be appraised with as much reliability.

●

Consumer loans carry risk associated with the continued creditworthiness of the borrower and the value of the collateral, if any. These loans are typically either unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciating assets. They are also likely to be immediately and adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness, personal bankruptcy, or other changes in circumstances.

Loans that do not share common risk characteristics with other loans are evaluated individually and are not included in the ~~lease term. Under~~collective analysis. The allowance for credit losses on loans that are individually evaluated may be estimated based on their expected cash flows, or, in the ~~new guidance, lessor accounting~~case of loans for which repayment is ~~largely unchanged. The ASU was initially effective for non-public business entities’~~expected substantially through the operation or sale of collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial ~~statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. In September 2020,~~difficulty, may be measured based on the ~~FASB issued ASU 2020-05. Under ASU 2020-05, private companies may apply~~fair value of the ~~new leases standard for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and~~collateral less estimated costs to interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Earlier application is permitted. Due to the Company’s extended transition period election, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-02 and the impact was not material to the consolidated financial statements. The implementation of ASU 2016-02 resulted in recognition of right-of-use assets and ~~lease liabilities~~ ~~totaling $247,000 at the date of adoption, January 1, 2022, which are related to the Company’s lease of premises and equipment used in operations.~~ sell.

An unallocated component of the allowance for loan losses is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

Reserve for Unfunded Commitments: The Company records a reserve, reported in other liabilities, for expected credit losses on commitments to extend credit that are not unconditionally cancelable by the Company. The reserve for unfunded commitments is measured based on the principles utilized in estimating the allowance for credit losses on loans and an estimate of the amount of unfunded commitments expected to be advanced. Changes in the reserve for unfunded commitments are recorded through the provision for credit losses.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations included in the securities portfolio consist of securities issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies. There were no private label mortgage-backed securities or collateralized mortgage obligations held in the securities portfolio as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

At September 30, 2022, 47 agency bonds, three treasury securities and 37 collateralized mortgage obligations were in an unrealized loss position. At December 31, 2021, 47 agency bonds and five collateralized mortgage obligations were in an unrealized loss position. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred and industry analysts’ reports.

As of September 30, 2022, management believes that the estimated fair value of securities disclosed above is primarily dependent upon the movement in market interest rates particularly given the negligible inherent credit risk associated with these securities. Although the fair value will fluctuate as the market interest rates move, management believes that these fair values will recover as the underlying portfolios mature and are reinvested in market yielding investments.

As the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2022.

There were no securities sold during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2022 or September 30, 2021. The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities available-for-sale at September 30, 2022, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties (in thousands).

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations included in the securities portfolio consisted of securities issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies. There were no private label mortgage-backed securities or collateralized mortgage obligations held in the securities portfolio as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

At June 30, 2023, 50 agency bonds, one treasury security and 35 collateralized mortgage obligations were in an unrealized loss position. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred and industry analysts’ reports.

As of June 30, 2023, management believes that the estimated fair value of securities disclosed above is primarily dependent upon the movement in market interest rates particularly given the negligible inherent credit risk associated with these securities. Although the fair value will fluctuate as the market interest rates move, management believes that these fair values will recover as the underlying portfolios mature and are reinvested in market yielding investments. Additionally, all securities remain highly rated and all issuers have continued to make timely payments of interest and principal.

Table of Contents

As the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company concluded that a credit loss did not exist in its portfolio at June 30, 2023, and therefore, no allowance for credit losses was recorded.

There were no securities sold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 or June 30, 2022. The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities available-for-sale at June 30, 2023, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties (in thousands).

4. Loans Receivable and Allowance for ~~Loan~~Credit Losses

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables. All loan information presented as of June 30, 2023 is in accordance with ASC 326. All loan information presented as of December 31, 2022 or a prior date is presented in accordance with previously applicable GAAP.

The Company’s loans are stated at their face amount and consist of the classes of loans included in the table below. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable, totaling $1.2 million at June 30, 2023, from the amortized cost basis of loans.

A loan is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” loans include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Loans classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific allowance for credit losses is not warranted. Loans that do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are designated as “special mention” by our management. Loans that are performing as agreed are classified as “pass”.

The performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio is also monitored by analyzing the age of the loans receivable as determined by the length of time a recorded payment is past due. The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the past due status as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 (in thousands):

The Company may grant a concession or modification for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial condition that it would not otherwise consider resulting in a modified ~~loan which is then identified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”).~~loan. The Company may modify loans through rate reductions, extensions of maturity, interest only payments, or payment modifications to better match the timing of cash flows due under the modified terms with the cash

~~Table of Contents~~

flows from the borrowers’ operations. Loan modifications are intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral.

The Company identifies loans for potential ~~restructure~~modification primarily through direct communication with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower’s financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports. Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future.

No loans were modified during the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2023 and 2022 ~~and 2021 which met~~to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

The Company closely monitors the ~~definition~~performance of modified loans to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. Upon the determination that all or a portion of a ~~troubled debt restructuring. After a~~modified loan is ~~determined to be a troubled debt restructuring, we continue to track its performance under~~uncollectible, that amount is charged against the ~~most recent restructured terms. One commercial loan troubled debt restructuring and one construction loan troubled debt restructuring completed in prior years are in default~~allowance for credit losses. There were no payment defaults during the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2023 and 2022 ~~and 2021, had an aggregate balance~~ of ~~$322,000 and $415,000 as of September~~modified loans.

At June 30, ~~2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Total troubled debt restructurings were $873,000 and $949,000 as of September 30, 2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021, respectively.~~

~~At September 30,~~ 2022, ~~and December 31, 2021,~~ there was no other real estate owned. There was no real estate in process of foreclosure as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

5. Leases

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. The Company elected the prospective application approach provided by ASU 2018-11 and did not adjust prior periods for ASC 842. The Company also elected certain practical expedients within the standard and consistent with such elections did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, did not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and did not reassess any initial direct costs for existing leases. The implementation of the new standard resulted in recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities totaling $247,000 at the date of adoption, which are related to the Company’s lease of premises and equipment used in operations.

Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor.

Table of Contents

The Company’s long-term lease agreements are classified as operating leases. Certain of these leases offer the option to extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liabilities to the extent the options are reasonably assured of being exercised. The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.

~~Table of Contents~~

The following tables present information about the Company’s leases as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and for the three and ~~nine month periods~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in thousands):

7. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

The Company had the following off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021~~2022 (in thousands):


	September 30,		December 31,		June 30,		December 31,
	2022		2021		2023		2022
Commitments to grant loans	$	36,541	$	24,756	$	37,812	$	41,154
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit		11,579		9,214		13,613		11,520
Standby letters of credit		3,544		3,213		2,827		3,029

Total off-balance sheet financial instruments					$	54,252	$	55,703

Outstanding loan commitments represent the unused portion of loan commitments available to individuals and companies as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based upon management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Various types of collateral may be held, including property and marketable securities. The credit risk involved in these financial instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

8. Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various lawsuits involving matters generally incidental to its business. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023, management is of the opinion that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from any pending actions or proceedings will not have a material effect on the consolidated statement of financial condition or of operations of the Company.

9. ~~Regulatory Matters~~Stock-Based Compensation

~~Bank~~

The Company’s stockholders approved the PB Bankshares, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Equity Incentive Plan”) at the Annual Meeting on September 28, 2022. An aggregate of 388,815 shares of authorized but unissued common stock of the Company was reserved for future grants of incentive and ~~bank holding companies are subject~~nonqualified stock options and restricted stock awards and restricted stock units under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. Of the 388,815 authorized shares, the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to ~~regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines~~the exercise of stock options is 277,725 shares, and ~~additionally~~the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued as restricted stock awards or restricted stock units is 111,090 shares.

The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock determine the fair value of restricted stock under the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. Management recognizes compensation expense for ~~banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative~~the fair value of restricted stock on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 14,628 shares available for future awards under this plan, which includes 11,653 shares available for incentive and non-qualified stock options and 2,975 shares available for restricted stock awards. The stock options and restricted shares vest over a five-year period.

Stock option expense was $68,000 and $137,000 for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively. At June 30, 2023, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was $1,200,000.

10. Regulatory Matters

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, 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. The net unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital. Management believes as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the Bank ~~meets~~met all capital adequacy requirements to which it iswas subject.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications; well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, the most recent regulatory notification categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

~~In 2019,~~The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the ~~federal banking agencies jointly issued a final rule that provides for an optional, simplified measure of capital adequacy,~~minimum but below the ~~community bank leverage ratio framework (“CBLR framework”), for qualifying community banking organizations, consistent with Section 201~~conservation buffer will face limitations on dividends, stock repurchases and certain discretionary bonus payments to management based on the amount of the ~~Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act.~~shortfall. Under Basel III rules, banks must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The ~~final rule became effective on~~required capital conservation buffer is 2.50%.

On January 1, ~~2020 and was elected by~~2023, the Company adopted ASC 326. Regulatory capital rules permitted the Bank asto phase-in the day-one effects of ~~December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022. In April 2020,~~adopting ASC 326 over a three-year transition period. The Bank elected not to take the ~~federal banking agencies issued an interim final rule that made temporary changes~~phase-in but rather to ~~the CBLR framework, pursuant to section 4012 of the CARES Act, and a second interim final rule that provided a graduated increase~~reduce its regulatory capital in the ~~community bank leverage ratio requirement after~~first quarter of 2023 for the ~~expiration~~day-one effects of ~~the temporary changes implemented pursuant to section 4012 of the CARES Act.~~

The community bank leverage ratio removes the requirement for qualifying banking organizations to calculate and report risk-based capital but rather only requires a Tier 1 to average assets (leverage) ratio. Qualifying banking organizations that elect to use the community bank leverage ratio framework and that maintain a leverage ratio of greater than the required minimum will be considered to have satisfied the generally applicable risk based and leverage capital requirementsadopting ASC 326 in the ~~agencies’ capital rules (generally applicable rule) and, if applicable, will be considered to have met the well capitalized ratio requirements for purposes~~amount of section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Under the final rules the community bank leverage ratio minimum requirement is 8.5% for calendar year 2021 and 9% for calendar year 2022 and beyond. The final rule allows for a two-quarter grace period to improve a ratio that falls below the required level, provided that the bank maintains a leverage ratio of 7.5% for calendar year 2021 and 8% for calendar year 2022 and beyond.

Under the final rule, an eligible banking organization can opt out of the CBLR framework and revert back to the risk-weighting framework without restriction. As of September 30, 2022, the Bank was a qualifying community banking organization as defined by the federal banking agencies and elected to measure capital adequacy under the CBLR framework.

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company groups its assets and liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Table of Contents

Level 1 - Valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on 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 for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is determined at a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective quarter ends, and have not been reevaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each quarter end.

~~Table of Contents~~

An asset’s or liability’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for its financial assets and liabilities:

Debt and Equity Securities (Carried at Fair Value)

The fair value of debt and equity securities (carried at fair value) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt and equity securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific debt and equity securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

~~Impaired~~Individually Evaluated Collateral Dependent Loans (Generally Carried at Fair Value)

~~Impaired~~The estimated fair value of individually evaluated collateral dependent loans ~~are those that are accounted for under FASB ASC 310,~~ ~~Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan~~ ~~(“FASB ASC 310”), in which the Company has measured impairment generally~~is based on the ~~net fair~~ value of the ~~loan’s collateral. Fair~~underlying collateral or the value of the underlying collateral, less estimated cost to sell, as appropriate. Collateral is generally real estate; however, collateral may include vehicles, equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, and/or other assets. The value of real estate collateral is generally determined using a market valuation approach based ~~upon~~on an appraisal conducted by an independent, ~~third-party appraisals~~licensed appraiser. The value of other assets may also be based on an appraisal, market quotations, aging schedules or other sources. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the ~~properties, or discounted cash flows based upon~~period incurred as a provision for credit losses on the ~~expected proceeds.~~Consolidated Statements of Income. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. At ~~September~~June 30, 2023, there were no individually evaluated collateral dependent loans with a specific reserve. At December 31, 2022, the fair value ~~consists~~consisted of the recorded investment in the collateral dependent loans of ~~$374,000,~~$52,000, which is net of a valuation allowance of ~~$52,000.

~~12.~~13. Noninterest Revenues

Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and investments. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as gains on equity investments, income associated with bank owned life insurance, and loan fees are also not in scope of the guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as service charges on deposit accounts and gains on sale of other real estate owned. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of Topic 606. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.

~~Table of Contents~~

Service Fees on Deposit Accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of fees on depository accounts, which includes NSF fees, miscellaneous deposit-based service fees, monthly maintenance fees for consumer and commercial, and account analysis and related fees (commercial).

Service charges and fees charged daily are a result of an event or service being provided on the day with the Company recognizing the revenue on the same day. The Company has determined that all performance obligations for daily service charges and fees are met on the same day as the transaction and, therefore, should be recognized as these occur.

Monthly maintenance/service charges and fees are charged on the last day of the month (i.e. the same month as charges are incurred) after the system has completed its processing. The Company has determined that all performance obligations for monthly fees are typically met during the month or the same day as the customer has not met its obligation. As monthly fees are typically incurred by the customer throughout the month, the fees should be recognized upon completion of the month since the performance obligations have been met for those services.

Account analysis service charges and fees are recorded on a monthly basis on the last day of the month. The Company has determined that all performance obligations for account analysis fees are met during the month.

Table of Contents

Debit Card Income

Debit card income consists of interchange fees from consumer debit card networks and other card related services. Interchange rates are set by the card networks. Interchange fees are based on purchase volumes and other factors and are recognized as transactions occur.

Gains on Sale of Other Real Estate Owned

The sale of other real estate owned is currently recognized on the closing date of sale when all performance obligations have been met, and control of the asset has been transferred to the buyer. Any gains are included in noninterest expenses in the consolidated statements of ~~operations.~~income.

For the Company, there are no other material revenue streams within the scope of Topic 606. The following table presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022 (in thousands):

Contract Balances

A contract assets balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transaction activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term contracts with

~~Table of Contents~~

customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.

Contract Acquisition Costs

In connection with the adoption of Topic 606, an entity is required to capitalize, and subsequently amortize as an expense, certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if these costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained (for example, sales commission). The Company utilizes the practical expedient which allows entities to immediately expense contract acquisition costs when the assets that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less. Upon adoption of Topic 606 the Company did not capitalize any contract acquisition cost.

~~13. Subsequent Event~~

On November 7, 2022 the Bank entered into a purchase agreement to sell to a third party, the Bank’s corporate headquarters and branch location in Coatesville, Pennsylvania for $950,000. The Bank will lease a portion of the building to use for corporate offices and maintain a branch location. The estimated gain on sale of the land and building is expected to be between $725,000 and $925,000, recognized in the fourth quarter of 2022 or first quarter of 2023.

Overview

Our business has traditionally focused on originating fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans and offering retail deposit accounts. In September 2019, we hired our current president and chief executive officer, Janak M. Amin, and under his leadership team we have developed a commercial lending infrastructure, with a particular focus on expanding our commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan portfolios to diversify our balance sheet, improve our interest rate risk exposure and increase interest income. Our primary market area now consists of Chester and Lancaster Counties and the surrounding Pennsylvania counties of Cumberland, Dauphin, and Lebanon. Management has also emphasized the importance of attracting commercial deposit accounts from its customers. As a result of these initiatives and the completion of our initial public stock offering on July 14, 2021, we were able to grow and strengthen our balance sheet. There was an increase in our consolidated assets ~~by $61.8~~of $26.0 million, or ~~19.6%~~6.7%, from ~~$314.9~~$386.5 million at December 31, ~~2021~~2022 to ~~$376.7~~$412.6 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and an increase in our deposits ~~by $38.5~~of $22.6 million, or ~~15.3%~~7.8%, from ~~$251.1~~$289.5 million at December 31, ~~2021~~2022 to ~~$289.6~~$312.1 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income and, to a lesser extent, noninterest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest- earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, debt securities and other interest-earning assets (primarily cash and cash equivalents), and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of savings accounts, demand accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit and borrowings. Noninterest income consists primarily of debit card income, service charges on deposit accounts, earnings on bank owned life insurance, other service charges and other income. Our results of operations also are affected by our provision for ~~loan~~credit losses and noninterest expenses. Noninterest expenses consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data and item processing costs, advertising and marketing, professional fees, directors’ fees, FDIC insurance premiums, Pennsylvania shares tax, debit card expenses, and other expenses. Our results of operations also may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we reported net income of ~~$414,000~~$588,000 compared to net income of ~~$210,000~~$347,000 for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The period over period increase in earnings of ~~$204,000~~$241,000 was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by increases in noninterest expenses, provision for ~~loan~~credit losses and income tax expense.

For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we reported net income of ~~$1,006,000~~$997,000 compared to net income of ~~$540,000~~$592,000 for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The period over period increase in earnings of ~~$466,000~~$405,000 was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by increases in noninterest expenses, provision for ~~loan~~credit losses and income tax expense.

~~Impact of COVID-19 Outbreak~~

To address the economic impact of COVID-19 in the United States, the CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act included a number of provisions that affected us, including accounting relief for TDRs. The CARES Act also established the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) through the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), which allowed us to lend money to small businesses to help maintain employee payrolls through the crisis with guarantees from the SBA. Under this program, loan amounts may be forgiven if the borrower maintains employee payrolls and meets certain other requirements. We originated approximately $6.0 million of PPP loans in the first and second quarters of 2021. The PPP program ended in May 2021. As of January 31, 2022, all PPP loans originated by the Company have been fully forgiven. $-0- and $133,000 of loan income (interest and fees) for PPP loans was recognized for the three months ended September 30 2022 and 2021, respectively. $28,000 and $192,000 of loan income (interest and fees) for PPP loans was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

~~Table of Contents~~

We implemented various consumer and commercial loan modification programs to provide our borrowers relief from the economic impacts of COVID-19. Based on guidance in the CARES Act and COVID-19 related legislation, COVID-19 related modifications to loans that were current as of December 31, 2019 are exempt from TDR classification under U.S. GAAP through January 1, 2022. In addition, the bank regulatory agencies issued interagency guidance stating that COVID-19 related short-term modifications (i.e., six months or less) granted to loans that were current as of the loan modification program implementation date are not TDRs.

~~As of September 30, 2022, we are no longer tracking COVID-19 deferrals as all of these loans have returned to normal payment status.~~

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. We consider the accounting ~~policies~~estimates discussed below to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions that we use are based on historical experience and various other factors and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

In 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth 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.

Allowance for ~~loan losses.~~credit losses on loans. ~~The~~We establish the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses ~~represents management’s estimate of losses inherent~~through charges to earnings in the ~~loan portfolio as~~form of ~~the statement of financial condition date and is recorded as~~ a ~~reduction to loans. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the~~ provision for ~~loan~~credit losses. Loan losses ~~and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans deemed to be uncollectible~~ are charged against the allowance for credit losses for the difference between the carrying value of the loan ~~losses,~~ and ~~subsequent~~the estimated net realizable value or fair value of the collateral, if collateral dependent, when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. All, or part, of the principal balance of a loan receivable is charged off to the allowance as soon as it is determined that the repayment of all, or part, of the principal balance is highly unlikely. Because all identified losses are immediately charged off, no portion of the allowance for loan losses is restricted to any individual loan or groups of loans, and the entire allowance is available to absorb any and all loan losses.

The allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses ~~is maintained~~(“ACL”) at ~~a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management performs a quarterly evaluation~~June 30, 2023 represents the Company’s current estimate of the ~~adequacy~~lifetime credit losses expected from its loan portfolio. Management estimates the ACL by projecting a lifetime loss rate conditional on a forecast of economic parameters and other qualitative adjustments, for the ~~allowance. The~~loans’ expected remaining term.

Management’s judgment in determining the level of the allowance is based on ~~our past~~evaluations of historical loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio,losses, current ~~economic~~ conditions and ~~other~~reasonable and supportable forecasts relevant ~~factors. This evaluation~~to the collectability of loans. In addition, management’s estimate of expected credit losses is ~~inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.~~

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established whenbased on the discounted cash flows ~~(or collateral value or observable market price) of~~over the ~~impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. The general component covers pools~~remaining life of loans ~~by loan class including construction~~held for investment, and ~~commercial loans not considered impaired, as well as smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential mortgages and consumer loans. These pools~~changes in expected prepayment behavior may result in changes in the remaining life of loans and expected credit losses.

The allowance may be affected materially by a variety of qualitative factors that the Company considers to reflect its current judgement of various events and risks that are ~~evaluated for loss exposure based upon historical loss rates for each of these categories of loans, adjusted for qualitative factors.~~not measured in our statistical procedures. These qualitative risk factors include: (1) lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices; (2) national, regional, and local economic and business conditions as well as the condition of various market segments, including the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans; (3) nature

~~Table of Contents~~

and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans; (4) volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans as well as loan modifications; (5) existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations; (6) effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements; (7) experience, ability, and depth of lending department management and other relevant staff; ~~and~~ (8) quality of loan review and board of directors ~~oversight. Each factor~~oversight; (9)The effect of other external factors (i.e. competition, legal and regulatory requirements); and (10) the level of estimated credit losses change in the inflationary environment. This evaluation is ~~assigned a value~~inherently subjective because it requires estimates that are susceptible to ~~reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on management’s best judgment using relevant~~significant revision as more information ~~available at~~becomes available. In evaluating the time of the evaluation. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we increased certain of our qualitative loan portfolio risk factors relating to local and national economic conditions as well as industry conditions and concentrations. During 2022, these qualitative factors have begun to be adjusted downward to reflect current improved conditions. An unallocated componentlevel of the allowance, ~~for loan losses is maintained~~we consider a range of possible assumptions and outcomes related to ~~cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.~~the various factors identified above. The ~~unallocated component~~level of the allowance ~~reflects the margin of imprecision inherent~~is particularly sensitive to changes in the ~~underlying assumptions used~~actual and forecasted probability of default of benchmarked banks and changes in current conditions or reasonably expected future conditions affecting the ~~methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.~~collectability of loans.

Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, the FDIC and the PADOB, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses, and as a result of such reviews, we may have to adjust our allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses. However, regulatory agencies are not directly involved in establishing the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses as the process is our responsibility and any increase or decrease in the allowance is the responsibility of management. A large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would adversely affect earnings.

Deferred tax assets. We make estimates and judgments to calculate some of our tax liabilities and determine the recoverability of some of our deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expenses. We also estimate a reserve for deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. These estimates and judgments are inherently subjective. Historically, our estimates and judgments to calculate our deferred tax accounts have not required significant revision.

In evaluating our ability to recover deferred tax assets, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including our past operating results and our forecast of future taxable income. In determining future taxable income, we make assumptions for the amount of taxable income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies, these assumptions require us to make judgments about future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates we use to manage our business. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. An increase in the valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period and could have a significant impact on our future earnings.

Table of Contents

Realization of a deferred tax asset requires us to exercise significant judgment and is inherently uncertain because it requires the prediction of future occurrences. Valuation allowances are provided to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, we must estimate our taxable income in future years and the impact of tax planning strategies. If we were to determine that we would not be able to realize a portion of our net deferred tax asset in the future for which there is no valuation allowance, an adjustment to the net deferred tax asset would be charged to earnings in the period such determination was made. Conversely, if we were to make a determination that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets for which we had established a valuation allowance would be realized, the related valuation allowance would be reduced and a benefit to earnings would be recorded.

Estimation of fair values. Fair values for securities available-for-sale are obtained from an independent third-party pricing service. Where available, fair values are based on quoted prices on a nationally recognized securities exchange. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using quoted market prices for similar benchmark securities. Management generally makes no adjustments to the fair value quotes provided by the pricing source. The fair values of foreclosed real estate and the underlying collateral value of ~~impaired~~individually evaluated collateral dependent loans are typically determined based on evaluations by third parties, less estimated costs to sell. When necessary, appraisals are updated to reflect changes in market conditions.

Total assets. Total assets increased ~~$61.8~~$26.0 million to ~~$376.7~~$412.6 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 from ~~$314.9~~$386.5 million at December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The increase in assets was primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents and net loans receivable, ~~and~~partially offset by a decrease in debt securities available-for-sale.

Gross loans increased $16.9 million, or 5.5%, to $322.3 million at June 30, 2023 from $305.4 million at December 31, 2022, primarily due to growth in the commercial ~~and construction~~ real estate ~~portfolios.~~portfolio.

Net loans receivable increased ~~$52.2~~$16.5 million, or ~~20.9%~~5.5%, to ~~$301.4~~$317.3 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 from ~~$249.2~~$300.9 million at December 31, ~~2021~~2022 primarily due to ~~increases~~the increase in the commercial ~~and construction~~ real estate ~~portfolios.~~portfolio.

The increase in commercial real estate loans was primarily due to the continued implementation of our strategy to expand our commercial loan portfolio to diversify our balance sheet. Commercial and industrial loans decreased $2.2 million, or 12.2%, to $15.7 million at June 30, 2023 from $17.9 million at December 31, 2022 primarily due to loan payoffs. Consumer and other loans increased $1.7 million, or 20.8%, to $9.9 million at June 30, 2023 from $8.2 million at December 31, 2022. Construction real estate loans ~~increased $11.1~~decreased $6.1 million, or ~~81.3%~~30.0%, to ~~$24.9~~$14.3. million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 from ~~$13.8~~$20.4 million at December 31, ~~2021~~2022 primarily due to ~~new~~ construction completion and conversion to real estate ~~loans and to a lesser extent draws on existing commitments. One-to four-family residential~~loans.

Management is monitoring the commercial real estate portfolio and concentration, assessing its associated risks. As part of its risk management process, the Bank segments and stress tests its commercial real estate portfolio. As of June 30, 2023, approximately 75% or $101.8 million of the non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan portfolio was subject to stress testing (loans having exposure under $250,000 and investor 1-4 family properties generally are not subject to stress testing). At June 30, 2023, the commercial real estate portfolio has an average Loan-to-Value ratio of 58.4% and a Debt Service Coverage ratio of 1.31 times, exclusive of any sponsor or guarantor support. The commercial real estate portfolio is diverse with respect to both property type as well as location with concentrations limited. Two segments, Office Space and Hospitality, are the subject of market scrutiny with these segments’ exposure and selected credit metrics outlined below.

The Bank has reviewed its loan portfolio for exposure to office space given the uncertainty and potential risks associated with vacancy, future demand, and repricing risk for these assets. The Bank’s exposure to this segment is minimal with only $8.2 million in non-owner-occupied office space at June 30, 2023. Notably the four loans comprising the office segment are all medical related, which the Bank believes has not suffered the decline that the general office market has

experienced. At June 30, 2023, the office space loan portfolio, consisting of only four loans, has an average Loan-to-Value ratio of 73.6% and Debt Service Coverage ratio of 1.72 times, exclusive of any sponsor or guarantor support.

The Bank’s hospitality portfolio is also an area of market focus. Loan exposure to this segment totaled $17.4 million (five properties) at June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2023, the average Loan-to-Value ratio is 56.4% and Debt Service Coverage ratio of 1.76 times, exclusive of any sponsor or guarantor support. The Bank believes guarantor support for the hospitality sector is strong and loans are supported by experienced hotel operators.

Cash and cash equivalents increased ~~$5.5~~$25.3 million, or ~~5.2%~~147.0%, to ~~$111.5~~$42.5 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 from ~~$106.0~~$17.2 million at December 31, ~~2021.

Deposits and borrowings. Total deposits increased ~~$38.5~~$22.6 million, or ~~15.3%~~7.8%, to ~~$289.6~~$312.1 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 from ~~$251.1~~$289.5 million at December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. The increase in our deposits reflected a $19.6 million increase in interest-bearing demand deposits accounts, a $12.2 million increase in certificates of deposit, a ~~$11.5~~$1.2 million increase in ~~interest-bearing~~noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts, partially offset by a ~~$4.7~~$3.6 million ~~increase~~decrease in savings accounts and a $6.9 million decrease in money market accounts ~~a $1.9 million increase in non-interest-bearing demand~~due to customers utilizing their deposits ~~and an $825,000 increase in savings accounts.~~or moving deposits to higher yielding deposit products. Demand deposits ~~money market accounts and savings accounts~~ increased primarily due to management’s continuing focus on increasing the commercial deposit accounts of its customers. With the focus on deposit growth the six month growth in deposits from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023 was 7.8%, outpacing loan growth on gross loans of 5.5% for the same period.

Provision for ~~loan~~credit losses. We ~~establish~~charge provisions for ~~loan~~credit losses ~~which are charged~~ to operations in order to maintain ~~the~~our allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses on loans and reserve for unfunded commitments at a level ~~we consider~~that is considered reasonable and necessary to absorb expected credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and expected losses on commitments to grant loans that are ~~both probable and reasonably estimable~~expected to be advanced at the consolidated balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses, we consider our past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and the levels of non-performing and other classified loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or conditions change. We assess the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses on a quarterly basis and make provisions for ~~loan~~credit losses in order to maintain the allowance.

Based on our evaluation of the above factors, we recorded a ~~$346,000~~$247,000 provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to a $203,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022 compared to an $83,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2021.~~2022. The increase in the provision for ~~loan~~credit losses was primarily driven by loan growth. We have seen a decrease in historical loss factors in the current quarter driven by no charge- offs in 2021 and no charge-offs to date in 2022. The qualitative factors have been adjusted to account for an increase in delinquencies for a commercial and industrial loan that is moving towards becoming greater than 90 days past due in the fourth quarter 2022 with a downgrade to substandard status and likely impairmentgrowth and a ~~required specific reserve allocation. The increase in the unallocated allowance was attributable to the unknown risks~~provision for ~~the remainder~~credit losses on loans of ~~2022 as interest rates continue to rise. The impact on client cash flows as~~$292,000, partially offset by a ~~result~~recovery for unfunded commitments of ~~increased financing costs and loans repricing and the resultant impact on delinquencies and the loan portfolio is unknown.~~$45,000. The allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses on loans was ~~$3.8~~$4.3 million, or ~~1.24%~~1.34%, of loans outstanding at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~$3.1~~$4.0 million, or ~~1.24%~~1.31%, of loans outstanding at December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

experience with respect to our loan portfolio, could result in material increases in our provision for ~~loan~~credit losses. In addition, the PADOB and the FDIC, as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically review our allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses, and as a result of such reviews, we may have to adjust our allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses. However, regulatory agencies are not directly involved in establishing the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses as the process is our responsibility and any increase or decrease in the allowance is the responsibility of management.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. 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 total increase (decrease) column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately, based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume. There were no out-of-period items or adjustments required to be excluded from the table below.

The increase in net interest income for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 compared to the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021~~2022 was primarily due to the increases in interest income on loans, ~~debt securities available-for-sale and~~ cash and cash equivalents and debt securities available-for-sale, partially offset by ~~an increase~~increases in interest expense on deposits and borrowings. Average net interest-earning assets increased by ~~$13.6~~$12.5 million to ~~$62.9~~$75.7 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 from ~~$49.3~~$63.2 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. Our net interest margin increased 2060 basis points to ~~2.85%~~3.28% for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 from ~~2.65%~~2.68% for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Based on our evaluation of the above factors, we recorded a ~~$639,000~~$430,000 provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to a $293,000 provision for loan losses for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022 compared to a $221,000 provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.~~2022. The increase in the provision for ~~loan~~credit losses was primarily driven by loan growth. We have seen a decrease in historical loss factors in the first three quarters of 2022 driven by no charge-offs in 2021 and no charge-offs to date in 2022. The qualitative factors have been adjusted to account for an increase in delinquencies for a commercial and industrial loan that is moving towards becoming greater than 90 days past due in the fourth quarter 2022 with a downgrade to substandard status and likely impairmentgrowth and a ~~required specific reserve allocation. The increase in the unallocated allowance was attributable to the unknown risks~~provision for ~~the remainder~~credit losses on loans of ~~2022 as interest rates continue to rise. The impact on client cash flows as~~$449,000, partially offset by a ~~result~~recovery for unfunded commitments of ~~increased financing costs and loans repricing and the resultant impact on delinquencies and the loan portfolio is unknown.~~$19,000. The allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses was ~~$3.8~~$4.3 million, or ~~1.24%~~1.34%, of loans outstanding at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~$3.1~~$4.0 million, or ~~1.24%~~1.31%, of loans outstanding at December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded ~~all~~our best estimate of expected losses in the loan ~~losses that are both probable~~portfolio and ~~reasonable to estimate~~for unfunded commitments at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. However, future changes in the factors described above, including, but not limited to, actual loss experience with respect to our loan portfolio, could result in material increases in our provision for ~~loan~~credit losses. In addition, the PADOB and the FDIC, as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically review our allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses, and as a result of such reviews, we may have to adjust our allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses. However, regulatory agencies are not directly involved in establishing the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses as the process is our responsibility and any increase or decrease in the allowance is the responsibility of management.

~~Noninterest income decreased~~increased by ~~$127,000,~~$128,000, or ~~23.6%~~47.6%, to ~~$410,000~~$397,000 for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 from ~~$537,000~~$269,000 for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The ~~decrease~~increase in noninterest income resulted primarily from a decrease in the loss on equity investments of $67,000, an increase in other income of $63,000 and an increase in other service charges of $31,000, partially offset by the increase in the loss on ~~equity investments.~~sale of premises and equipment of $40,000. The loss on equity investments ~~increased $94,000~~decreased $67,000 as a result of the ~~decrease~~increase in fair value of the equity investments. Other income increased $63,000 due to $58,000 of loan related fee income earned for brokering interest rate swap agreements between the Bank’s customers and counterparties unrelated to the Bank. Other service charges increased $31,000 due to $31,000 of late fee recoveries on two non-accrual loans that paid off in the second quarter of 2023.The $40,000 loss on disposal of equipment was a result of replacing the non-depository ATMs with full functioning ATMs as part of our continued investment in our infrastructure and technology. The new ATMs improve the client experience by providing twenty-four hours seven days a week access to banking services.

Non-Performing Assets and Allowance for ~~Loan~~Credit Losses

Non-performing loans. Loans are reviewed on a weekly basis by management and again by our credit committee on a monthly basis. Management determines that a loan is impaired or non-performing when it is probable at least a portion of the loan will not be collected in accordance with the original terms due to a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or the value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When a loan is determined to be impaired, the measurement of the loan in the allowance for loan losses is based on present value of expected future cash flows, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral. Non-accrual loans are loans for which collectability is questionable and, therefore, interest on such loans will no longer be recognized on an accrual basis. All loans that become 90 days or more delinquent are placed on non-accrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received on a cash basis or cost recovery method.

A loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring if, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, we grant a concession to the borrower that we would not otherwise consider. This usually includes a modification of loan terms, such as a reduction of the interest rate to below market terms, capitalizing past due interest or extending the maturity date and possibly a partial forgiveness of the principal amount due. Interest income on restructured loans is accrued after the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay under the restructured terms through a sustained period of repayment performance, which is generally six consecutive months.

The CARES Act, in addition to providing financial assistance to both businesses and consumers, created a forbearance program for federally-backed mortgage loans, protected borrowers from negative credit reporting due to loan accommodations related to the national emergency, and provided financial institutions the option to temporarily suspend

certain requirements under U.S. GAAP related to troubled debt restructurings for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19. The Federal banking regulatory agencies have likewise issued guidance encouraging financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are, or may be, unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. That guidance, with concurrence of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and provisions of the CARES Act allow modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were generally current with their payments prior to any relief, to not be treated as troubled debt restructurings. Modifications may include payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment term, or other delays in payment. We have worked with our customers affected by COVID-19 and accommodated a significant amount of loan modifications across our loan portfolios. To the extent that additional modifications meet the criteria previously described, such modifications are not expected to be classified as troubled debt restructurings. As of September 30, 2022, we are no longer tracking COVID-19 deferrals as all of these loans have returned to normal payment status.

Real estate owned. When we acquire real estate as a result of foreclosure, the real estate is classified as real estate owned. The real estate owned is recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Soon after acquisition, we order a new appraisal to determine the current market value of the property. Any excess of the recorded value of the loan satisfied over the market value of the property is charged against the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses. After acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property are expensed. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property, however, are capitalized to the extent of estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. We had no real estate owned at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 or as of December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

An additional partial charge-off of a ~~decrease~~previously written down commercial and industrial loan for $69,000 and $144,000 was taken in ~~historical loss factors driven~~the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Delinquencies remain benign, reserve levels are deemed to ~~date in 2022.~~be adequate and the allowance coverage ratio has increased from the second quarter a year ago. The allowance to total loans outstanding at the end of the period was 1.34% at June 30, 2023, improving from 1.16% at June 30, 2022 and remaining consistent with December 31, 2022 at 1.31%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity management. Liquidity describes our ability to meet the 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 sales, maturities and calls of securities. We also have the ability to borrow from

~~Table of Contents~~

the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we had the ability to borrow approximately ~~$145.9~~$161.1 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, of which ~~$40.4~~$50.4 million had been advanced in addition to ~~$8.3~~$14.0 million held in reserve to secure ~~two~~three letters of credit to collateralize municipal deposits. Additionally, at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we had the ability to borrow ~~$3.0~~$7.5 million from the Atlantic Community Bankers Bank, $5.0 million from SouthState Bank, N.A. and we also maintained a line of credit of $2.0 million with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022.~~2023. We did not borrow ~~overnight~~ against the credit line with the Atlantic Community Bankers Bank, ~~but did not borrow on~~SouthState Bank, N.A., or the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022 or 2021.~~2023.

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 seek to maintain a liquidity ratio of 5.0% or greater. For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021,~~2022, our liquidity ratio averaged ~~10.8%~~13.1% and ~~20.9%~~13.4%, respectively. We believe that we had enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our short and long-term liquidity needs as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

We monitor and adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan demand; (2) expected deposit flows; (3) yields available on cash and cash equivalents and securities; and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in cash and cash equivalents and short-and intermediate-term securities.

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which include federal funds sold. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, cash and cash equivalents totaled ~~$22.7~~$42.5 million. Debt securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled ~~$37.2~~$34.8 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022.~~2023.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Certificates of deposit due within one year of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, totaled ~~$41.2~~$54.8 million, or ~~42.6%~~43.7% of our certificates of deposit, and ~~14.2%~~17.6% 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 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 management. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, Presence Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and was considered “well capitalized” under regulatory ~~guidelines due to its compliance with the Community Bank Leverage ratio.~~guidelines. See Note 910 of the Notes to the Financial ~~Statements.~~Statements for more information regarding our capital resources.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022,~~2023, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of ~~$36.5~~$37.8 million, unused lines of credit totaling ~~$11.6~~$13.6 million and ~~$3.5~~$2.8 million in stand-by letters of credit outstanding. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current lending commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from ~~September~~June 30, ~~2022~~2023 totaled ~~$41.2~~$54.8 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be

Table of Contents

renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize Federal Home Loan Bank advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new deposits, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.

Contractual obligations. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than does inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services. Higher inflation and its impacts, nationally or in the markets that the Company ~~servers~~serves could adversely affect, among other things, real estate valuations, unemployment levels, the ability of businesses to remain viable, and consumer and business confidence, which could lead to decreases in demand for loans and deposits and increases in loan delinquencies and defaults.
