Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of Operations

The Bank of Princeton (the “Bank”) was incorporated on

March 5, 2007

, under the laws of the State of New Jersey and is a

New Jersey

state-chartered banking institution. The Bank was granted its bank charter on April 17,

2007

, commenced operations on

April 23, 2007

, and is a full-service bank providing personal and business lending and deposit services. As a state-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The area served by the Bank, through its 29 branches, is generally an area within an approximate

50-mile

radius of Princeton, NJ, including parts of Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Ocean, and Somerset Counties in New Jersey, and additional areas in portions of Philadelphia, Montgomery, and Bucks Counties in Pennsylvania. The Bank also has two retail branches and conducts loan origination activities in select areas of New York.

The Bank offers traditional retail banking services,

one-to-four-family

residential mortgage loans, multi-family and commercial mortgage loans, construction loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans, including home equity loans and lines of credit.

On January 10, 2023, Princeton Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation formed by the Bank (the “Company”), acquired all the outstanding stock of the Bank in a corporate reorganization. As a result, the Bank became the sole direct subsidiary of the Company, the Company became the holding company for the Bank and the stockholders of the Bank became stockholders of the Company. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had 212 total employees and 210 full-time equivalent employees.

On May 19, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Noah Bank, a Pennsylvania chartered state bank headquartered in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania that primarily served the Philadelphia, North New Jersey, and New York City markets. On that date, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Noah Bank for cash, and Noah Bank was merged with and into the Bank.

On January 18, 2024, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which the Company will acquire Cornerstone Financial Corporation (“Cornerstone”), the parent company of Cornerstone Bank, Mount Laurel, New Jersey in a transaction valued at approximately $17.9 million. Under the terms of the merger agreement, which has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies, Cornerstone will merge with, into and under the charter of the Company. In the merger, each share of Cornerstone common stock outstanding will be exchanged for 0.24 shares of the Company, subject to adjustment, having a value of $8.16 per share based on the $34.00 closing price of the Company common stock on January 17, 2024. Each share of Cornerstone’s preferred stock outstanding will be exchanged for its stated value of $1,000 per share. The transaction received Cornerstone stockholder approval and all applicable regulatory approvals, and is expected to close on August 23, 2024.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank, and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries: Bayard Lane, LLC, Bayard Properties, LLC, 112 Fifth Avenue, LLC, TBOP Delaware Investment Company and TBOP REIT, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the FDIC. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on

Form 10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Because of uncertainties associated with estimating the amounts, timing and likelihood of possible outcomes, 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 credit losses, the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities, and evaluation of the potential impairment of goodwill.

Management believes that the allowance for credit losses is adequate as of June 30, 2024. While management uses current information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for credit losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions in the market area or other factors.

In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for credit losses. Such agencies may require the Company to effect certain changes that result in additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)

No. 2023-07

in November 2023, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. The amendments in this ASU require improved reportable segment information on an annual and interim basis, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This update will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The company has only one reportable segment, ASU

2023-07

is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU

No. 2023-09

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU

No. 2023-09,

“Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. The amendments in the ASU require improved annual income tax disclosures surrounding rate reconciliation, income taxes paid, and other disclosures. This update will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU

2023-06,

“Disclosure improvements” amends disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The effective dates will depend, in part, on whether an entity is already subject to the SEC’s current disclosure requirements. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period adjusted to include the effect of outstanding stock options, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method.

Note 3 – Investment Securities (concluded)

Proceeds from calls and maturities of securities

available-for-sale

were not significant for the three and

six-month

period ended June 30, 2024.

The Company uses a defined CECL methodology for allowance for credit losses on its investment securities

available-for-sale.

The Company did not have an allowance for credit losses on its investment securities

available-for-sale

as of June 30, 2024.

The Company’s securities primarily consist of the following types of instruments; U.S. guaranteed mortgage-backed securities, U.S guaranteed agency bonds, state and political subdivision issued bonds and mortgage related securities guaranteed by the SBA. We believe it is reasonable to expect that the securities with a credit guarantee of the U.S. government will have a

zero-credit

loss. Therefore, no reserve was recorded for U.S. guaranteed securities or bonds at June 30, 2024. The state and political subdivision securities carry a minimum investment rating of A by either Moody’s or Standard and Poor. Some of the smaller municipalities also have insurance to cover the Company in the event of default. Therefore, the Company did not project a credit loss and therefore no reserve was recorded as of June 30, 2024.

At June 30, 2024, the Company’s

available-for-sale

securities portfolio consisted of approximately 234 securities, of which 174

available-for-sale

securities were in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months and 21

available-for-sale

securities were in a loss position for less than twelve months. The

available-for-sale

securities in a loss position for more than twelve months consisted of 106 municipal securities aggregating $34.0 million with a loss of $4.3 million, 60 mortgage-backed

securities-GSE

aggregating $29.2 million with a loss of $6.5 million and 8 agency securities aggregating $5.8 million with a loss of $1.1 million. The Company does not intend to sell these securities, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses primarily relate to interest rate fluctuations and not credit concerns.

There are no securities pledged as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

Note 4 – Loans Receivable

Loans receivable, net at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were comprised of the following:

	June 30, 2024			December 31, 2023

Note 4 – Loans Receivable (continued)

The

Company uses the discounted cash flow methodology in determining the appropriate quantitative adjustments, which projects future losses, based on historical and peer loss data, as part of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) reserve. Qualitative adjustments include and consider changes in national, regional, and local economic and business conditions, an assessment of the lending environment, including underwriting standards, and other factors affecting credit quality. There were no significant changes to the Company’s ACL methodology for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

The following table presents the components of the allowance for credit losses:

	June 30, 2024			December 31, 2023

Total nonaccrual loans	$	32	$	3,186	$	—	$	6,708

The calculation of the allowance for credit losses does not include any accrued interest receivable. The Company’s policy is to write off any interest not collected after 90 days. During the

six-month

period ended June 30, 2024, the Company wrote off $666 thousand in accrued interest receivable for loans, compared to $228 thousand for the

six-month

period ended June 30, 2023. Accrued interest receivable related to loans, at June 30, 2024, and December 30, 2023, was $6.1 million and $5.5 million, respectively. The performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio is also monitored by analyzing the age of the loan receivables by the length of time a recorded payment is past due. The following table presents the segments of the loan portfolio, summarized by the past due status as of June 30, 2024:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company evaluates risk ratings on an ongoing basis and assigns one of the following ratings: pass, special mention, substandard and doubtful. The Company engages a third party to review its assessment on a semiannual basis. The Company classifies residential and consumer loans as either performing or nonperforming based on payment status.

The following table summarizes total loans by year of origination, internally assigned credit grades and risk characteristics as of June 30, 2024. Gross charge-offs are included for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Note 4 – Loans Receivable (concluded)

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had thirteen loans totaling $3.2 million that were individually analyzed for potential credit loss and all the loans have real estate as credit support. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had nine loans totaling $6.7 million that were individually analyzed for potential credit loss.

Occasionally, the Company will modify the contractual terms of loans to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties as a way to mitigate loss, proactively work with borrowers in financial difficulty, or to comply with regulations regarding the treatment of certain bankruptcy filing and discharge situations. Typically, such concessions may consist of a reduction in interest rate to a below market rate, taking into account the credit quality of the note, extension of additional credit base on receipt of adequate collateral, or a deferment or reduction of payments (principal or interest) which materially alters the Company’s position or significantly extends the note’s maturity date, such that the present value of cash flows to be received is materially less than those contractually established at the loan’s origination. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount forgiven is charged off against the allowance for credit losses on loans.

There were no modifications to borrowers with financial difficulties and no loans that defaulted for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023.

Note 6 – Borrowings

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

The Company follows the guidance on fair value measurements now codified as FASB ASC Topic 820,

Fair Value Measurement

(“Topic 820”)

.

 Fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

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 sales transactions on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective

period-end

and have not been reevaluated or updated for the purposes of these consolidated 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 from the amounts reported at each

period-end.

The fair value measurement hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

20

PRINCETON BANCORP, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (continued)

Level

 1

: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level

 2

: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level

 3

: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).

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

For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at June 30, 2024 were as follows:

Description	(Level 1) Quoted Price in Active Markets for Identical Assets		(Level 2) Significant Other Observable Inputs		(Level 3) Significant Unobservable Inputs		Total Fair Value June 30, 2024

There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the three months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures:

Investment Securities

The fair value of securities

available-for-sale

(carried at fair value) and

held-to-maturity

(carried at amortized cost) 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 securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. Level 2 debt securities are valued by a third-party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry, and not adjusted by management. Level 2 fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution date, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Individual evaluated loans (generally carried at fair value)

Individual loans carried at fair value are those loans in which the Company has measured for a reserve and are generally based on the fair value of the related loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds, discounted for estimated selling costs or other factors the Company determines will impact collection of proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted bank stock, accrued interest receivable, equity method investments, and accrued interest payable are measured at the Company’s carrying amount.

The fair value of loans, deposits and borrowings are measured on a discounted basis using similar rates and terms.

The Mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of MSR is obtained through independent third-party valuations.

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (concluded)

Limitations

The fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.

These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Further, the foregoing estimates may not reflect the actual amount that could be realized if all or substantially all the financial instruments were offered for sale. This is due to the fact that no market exists for a sizable portion of the loan, deposit and

off-balance

sheet instruments.

In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing on and

off-balance

sheet financial instruments without attempting to value anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.

Finally, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be practical due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates which must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values.

Note 8 – Leases

Leases (Topic 842) establishes a right of use model that requires a lessee to record a right of use asset (“ROU”) and a lease liability for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The Company is obligated under 26 operating lease agreements for 25 branches and its corporate offices with terms extending through 2039. The Company’s lease agreements include options to renew at the Company’s discretion. The extensions are reasonably certain to be exercised, therefore they were considered in the calculations of the ROU asset and lease liability.

The following table represents the classification of the Company’s right of use and lease liability.

	Statement of Financial Condition Location	Six Months Ended June 30, 2024			Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2023

As of June 30, 2024, the weighted-average remaining lease terms for operating leases was 11.3 years and the weighted-average discount rate used in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was 3.49%. The Company used FHLB fixed rate advances or at the time the lease was placed in service for the term most closely aligning with remaining lease term.

Note 9 – Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible

In accordance with ASC 805, the Company recorded $8.9 million of goodwill along with a core deposit intangible asset of $4.2 million for the five branches acquired in 2019. The Noah Bank acquisition that occurred in 2023 did not generate any goodwill, but the Bank recorded $98 thousand in core deposit intangible asset. The core deposit intangible asset is being amortized over 10 years, using the sum of the year’s digits. Except as set forth below, GAAP requires that goodwill be tested for impairment annually (with the Company’s annual evaluation occurring on May 31 of each year) or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The reporting unit was determined to be our community banking operations, which is our only operating segment.

ASC Topic

350-20

guidance requires an annual review of the fair value of a Reporting Unit that has goodwill in order to determine if it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a Reporting Unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. A quantitative factor test can be performed to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If this qualitative test determines it is not more likely than not (less than 50% probability) that the fair value of the Reporting Unit is less than the Carrying Value, then the Company does not have to perform a quantitative test and goodwill can be considered not impaired. The Company performed its annual review at May 31, 2024 and determined that it was more than 50% probable the fair value of the Reporting Unit exceeds the then Carrying Value, therefore a quantitative test was not required as of May 31, 2024.

Note 11 – Risk and Uncertainties 

The occurrence of events which adversely affect the global, national, and regional economies may have a negative impact on our business. Like other financial institutions, our business relies upon the ability and willingness of our customers to transact business with us, including banking, borrowing and other financial transactions. A strong and stable economy at each of the local, federal, and global levels is often a critical component of consumer confidence and typically correlates positively with our customers’ ability and willingness to transact certain types of business with us. Local and global events outside of our control which disrupt the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, United States and/or global economy may therefore negatively impact our business and financial condition.

Government economic programs intended to backstop and bolster the economy through the pandemic have ended, and the nation’s economy has entered an inflationary phase. The Consumer Price Index has risen to levels not experienced since the 1980s while the labor market remains very tight, contributing additional inflationary pressure. To address the inflation problem, the Federal Reserve has reversed course on its previously accommodative monetary policies and aggressively increased short-term interest rates. These actions are intended to slow overall economic activity and risk entering the economy into a recession. Regional conflicts around the world, including between Russia and Ukraine, have exacerbated pandemic-related supply chain issues, upset numerous global markets including energy and certain raw materials, and generally added to economic uncertainty and geopolitical instability. Any or all could have negative downstream effects on the Company’s operating results, the extent of which is indeterminable at this time.

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

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report, and with our audited consolidated financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” presented in our Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The Company may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements,” including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in its reports to stockholders and in other communications by the Company (including this press release), which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s control). The most significant factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements include the ongoing impact of higher inflation levels, higher interest rates and general economic and recessionary concerns, all of which could impact economic growth and could cause a reduction in financial transactions and business activities, including decreased deposits and reduced loan originations, our ability to manage liquidity in a rapidly changing and unpredictable market, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and additional interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following factors: the integration of the businesses of the Company and Cornerstone Financial Corporation (“Cornerstone”) following the completion of the business combination with Cornerstone, may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; the ability to complete the transaction on the expected timeframe may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; the global impact of the regional conflicts around the world, including the Ukraine and the Middle East; the impact of any future pandemics or other natural disasters; civil unrest, rioting, acts or threats of terrorism, or actions taken by the local, state and Federal governments in response to such events, which could impact business and economic conditions in our market area; the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company and Bank conduct operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; market and monetary fluctuations; market volatility; the value of the Company’s products and services as perceived by actual and prospective customers, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors’ products and services; the willingness of customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Company’s products and services; credit risk associated with the Company’s lending activities; risks relating to the real estate market and the Company’s real estate collateral; the impact of changes in applicable laws and regulations and requirements arising out of our supervision by banking regulators; other regulatory requirements applicable to the Company and the Bank; and the timing and nature of the regulatory response to any applications filed by the Company and the Bank; technological changes; other acquisitions; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; those risks disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including under the heading “Risk Factors” set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company, except as required by applicable law or regulation.

Throughout this document, references to “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to the Company and the Bank.

Economy

The US economy expanded at an annual rate of 2.8% over the three months ended June 30, 2024, lifted by consumer spending. Inflation has slowed after hitting a 40-year high, but households still grapple with a 20% increase in prices since 2021, an increase in energy prices, higher interest rates (impacting the real estate market) and uncertainties resulting from regional conflicts in around the world, including in Ukraine and the Middle East. U.S. unemployment, at 4.1%, is low but rising. The unemployment rate in New Jersey is 4.6% at June 30, 2024.

Stockholders’ equity

Total stockholders’ equity on June 30, 2024 increased $4.6 million or 1.93% when compared to December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the $5.7 million increase in retained earnings, consisting of $9.5 million in net income partially offset by $3.8 million of cash dividends recorded during the period. The ratio of equity to total assets at June 30, 2024 and at December 31, 2023 was 12.34% and 12.53%, respectively.

Liquidity

Our liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal repayments of securities and outstanding loans, and funds provided from operations. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earnings assets such as overnight deposits or U.S. agency securities, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, general interest rates, economic conditions and competition greatly influence deposit flows and repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities.

As a member of the FHLB we are eligible to borrow funds in an aggregate amount of up to 50% of the Company’s total assets, subject to its collateral requirements. Based on available eligible securities and qualified real estate loan collateral, and a $70.0 million line of credit with the FHLB supporting municipal deposits, the Company had the ability to borrow an additional $491.8 million as of June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, the Bank was eligible to use the Federal Reserve discount window for borrowings. Based on assets pledged as collateral as of the applicable date, the Bank’s borrowing availability was approximately $10.0 million at June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no outstanding advances from the discount window.

The Company is also a shareholder of Atlantic Community Bancshares, Inc., the parent company of Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”). As of June 30, 2024, the Company had available borrowing capacity with ACBB of $10.0 million to provide short-term liquidity generally for a period of not more than fourteen days. No amounts were outstanding under our line of credit with ACBB at June 30, 2024.

We believe that our current sources of funds provide adequate liquidity for our current cash flow needs.

Capital Resources

Regulatory Capital Requirements. Federally insured, state-chartered non-member banks are required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital. Current FDIC capital standards require these institutions to satisfy a common equity Tier 1 capital requirement and a Tier 1 capital requirement, a leverage capital requirement and a risk-based capital requirement.

In addition, in order to make capital distributions and pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers without restriction, an institution must also maintain additional common equity in excess of the minimum requirements. This excess is referred to as a capital conservation buffer. At June 30, 2024, the required capital conservation buffer is 2.50%.

Under the risk-based capital requirements, “total” capital (a combination of core and “supplementary” capital) must equal at least 8.0% of “risk-weighted” assets. The FDIC also is authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual institutions on a case-by-case basis. Management believes, as of June 30, 2024, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject and is “well capitalized” under applicable regulations.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios and the regulatory requirements at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are presented below:

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

General

The Company reported net income of $5.1 million, or $0.80 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $6.8 million, or $1.07 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2023. The $1.7 million decrease in net income for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to acquisition-related items recorded in the second quarter of 2023 due to the Company’s acquisition of Noah Bank, resulting in a decrease in non-interest income of $9.5 million and an increase in income tax expense of $877 thousand, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest expenses of $5.8 million, a decrease in the provision for credit losses of $2.6 million and an increase in net interest income of $307 thousand when compared to the second quarter of 2023.

Interest income

Interest income increased $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Interest income on loans increased $4.5 million due to increases in both the average balance of loans of $153.2 million and the yield of 58 basis points. Other interest and dividend income increased $1.2 million due to an increase in average balance of $81.6 million and an increase in the yield of 33 basis points. Interest on taxable available-for-sale securities increased $709 thousand due to a 185 basis point increase in yield and a $44.9 million increase in the average balance of taxable available-for-sale securities.

Interest expense

Interest expense on deposits increased $6.1 million to $13.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, due to increases in both the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits of 120 basis points and in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $280.8 million over the same prior year period.

Provision for credit losses

The Company recorded a reversal of credit losses of $118 thousand during the three-months ended June 30, 2024, which consisted of $169 thousand decrease recorded to the allowance of credit losses, offset by an increase to the provision for credit losses of $51 thousand related to unfunded commitments, which are recorded in other liabilities on the Company’s statements of financial condition. Charge-offs were $84 thousand, and recoveries were $99 thousand, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Non-interest income

Total non-interest income was $2.1 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $9.5 million or 82.0% when compared to the same prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to the bargain purchase gain of $9.7 million attributed to the acquisition of Noah Bank, which closed in May 2023.

Non-interest expense

Total non-interest expense was $12.0 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $5.8 million or 32.6% when compared to the same prior year period. The decrease was due primarily to $7.0 million in merger-related expenses recorded, $667 thousand more in salaries and benefits expense and $145 thousand more in occupancy and equipment expenses during the three-months ended June 30, 2023 that were all primarily associated with the Noah Bank acquisition in 2023.

Provision for income taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.0 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 16.8%, compared to an income tax expense of $161 thousand resulting in an effective tax rate of 2.32% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2023 was lower than the current quarter’s rate because of the non-taxable $9.7 million bargain purchase gain from the Noah bank acquisition.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024, and 2023

General

The Company reported net income of $9.5 million, or $1.48 per diluted common share, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to net income of $12.9 million, or $2.02 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2023. The decrease in net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to acquisition-related items recorded during 2023 due to the acquisition of Noah Bank. In addition, net interest income declined $906 thousand over the two periods for the reasons described below.

Interest income

Interest income increased $13.9 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Interest income on loans increased $9.6 million due to increases in both the average balance of loans of $164.1 million and the yield of 59 basis points. Other interest and dividend income increased $3.3 million due to an increase in average balance of $117.4 million and an increase in the yield of 40 basis points. Interest on taxable available-for-sale securities increased $995 thousand due to a 158 basis point increase in yield and a $30.7 million increase in the average balance of taxable available-for-sale securities.

34

Interest expense

Interest expense on deposits increased $14.8 million to $26.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, due to increases in both the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits of 162 basis points and in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $315.9 million over the same prior year period.

Provision for credit losses

The Company recorded a $68 thousand provision for credit losses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and recorded $2.7 million provision for credit losses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. The decrease for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared with the same prior year period, is primarily due to $1.7 million of the provision related to non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Noah Bank acquisition and net charge-offs of $1.8 million recorded for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, charge-offs were $367 thousand, and recoveries were $206 thousand.

Non-interest income

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, non-interest income decreased $8.9 million or 68.5%, from the same six-month period in 2023, primarily due to the $9.7 million bargain purchase gain from the Noah acquisition recorded in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

Non-interest expense

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, non-interest expense was $23.8 million, compared to $27.6 million for the same period in 2023. This decrease was primarily due to acquisition-related expenses of $7.0 million in the prior year period, partially offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits of $1.8 million and occupancy and equipment expense of $833 thousand.

Provision for income taxes

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Bank recorded an income tax expense of $2.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 18.2%, compared to an income tax expense of $2.1 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 13.8% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was substantially lower as a result of the non-taxable bargain purchase gain related to the Noah acquisition.

How We Manage Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk which is inherent in our lending, investment and deposit gathering activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages interest rate risk exposure. In addition to market risk, our primary risk is credit risk on our loan portfolio. We attempt to manage credit risk through our loan underwriting and oversight policies.

The principal objective of our interest rate risk management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk embedded in certain balance sheet accounts, determine the level of risk appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance objectives, and manage the risk consistent with approved guidelines. We seek to manage our exposure to risks from changes in interest rates while at the same time trying to improve our net interest spread. We monitor interest rate risk as such risk relates to our operating strategies. We have established an Asset/Liability Committee which is comprised of both Management and members of the Board of Directors. The Asset/Liability Committee meets on a regular basis and is responsible for reviewing our asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position. Both the extent and direction of shifts in interest rates are uncertainties that could have a negative impact on future earnings.

Gap Analysis. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest rate sensitive” and by monitoring the Company’s interest rate sensitivity “gap.” An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to affect adversely net interest income while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to affect adversely net interest income.

The table on the next page sets forth the amounts of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at June 30, 2024, which we expect, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown (the “GAP Table”). Except as stated below, the amounts of assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in accordance with the earlier of term to repricing or the contractual maturity of the asset or liability. The table sets forth an approximation of the projected repricing of assets and liabilities at June 30, 2024, based on contractual maturities, anticipated prepayments, and scheduled rate adjustments within a three-month period and subsequent selected time intervals. The loan amounts in the table reflect principal balances expected to be redeployed and/or repriced as a result of contractual amortization and anticipated prepayments of adjustable-rate loans and fixed-rate loans, and as a result of contractual rate adjustments on adjustable-rate loans.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates both on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate loans may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

Net Portfolio Value Analysis. Our interest rate sensitivity is also monitored by management through the use of a model which generates estimates of the changes in our net portfolio value (“NPV”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts. The NPV ratio, under any interest rate scenario, is defined as the NPV in that scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. The following table sets forth our NPV as of June 30, 2024, and reflects the changes to NPV as a result of immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as indicated.

As is the case with the GAP Table, certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPV require the making of certain assumptions which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the models presented assume that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV model provides an indication of interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such model is not intended to and does not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on net interest income and will differ from actual results.
