Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations Mercer Bancorp, Inc. (“Mercer Bancorp” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation incorporated on March 7, 2023, to serve as the bank holding company for Mercer Savings Bank (“Mercer Savings” or the “Bank”) in connection with the Bank’s conversion from the mutual form of organization to the stock form of organization (the “Conversion”). The Conversion was completed on July 26, 2023. In connection with the Conversion, Mercer Bancorp acquired shares to a newly formed charitable foundation. The Bank’s employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) purchased Mercer Savings is an Ohio chartered stock bank engaged primarily in the business of providing a variety of deposit and lending services to individual customers in western Ohio. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential and commercial mortgage, commercial, home equity lines of credit and installment loans. Its operations are conducted through its Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2023 include the accounts of Mercer Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mercer Savings. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2022 represent the Bank only, as the conversion to stock form, including the formation of Mercer Bancorp, was completed on July 26, 2023. References herein to the “Company” for periods prior to the completion of the stock conversion should be deemed to refer to the “Bank”. Use of Estimates The preparation of 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 financial statements 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 relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, valuation of mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets and fair values of financial instruments. Cash Equivalents The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2023 and 2022, none of the Company’s cash accounts at nonfederal government or nongovernmental agencies exceeded FDIC insurance limits. In March 2020, the Federal Reserve's board of directors approved reducing the required reserve requirement ratios to zero percent, effectively eliminating the requirement to maintain reserve balances in cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. This reduction in the required reserves does not have a defined timeframe and may be revised by the Federal Reserve's board in the future. Interest-bearing Time Deposits in Banks Interest-bearing time deposits have original maturities greater than one year at origination and are carried at cost. Debt Securities Debt securities held by the Company generally are classified and recorded in the financial statements as follows: Classified as Description Recorded at Held to maturity (“HTM”) Certain debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity Amortized cost Trading Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term and, therefore, held for only a short period of time Fair value, with changes in fair value included in earnings Available for sale (“AFS”) Securities not classified as HTM or trading Fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income (loss) Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities, identified as the call date as to premiums and maturity date as to discounts. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method. When the fair value of securities is below amortized cost, the Company’s accounting treatment for an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is as follows: Accounting Treatment for OTTI Components Circumstances of Impairment Credit Remaining Considerations Component Portion Not intended for sale and more likely than not that the Bank will not have to sell before recovery of cost basis Recognized in earnings Recognized in other comprehensive income Intended for sale or more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell before recovery of cost basis Recognized in earnings For held-to-maturity debt securities, the amount of OTTI recorded in other comprehensive income for the noncredit portion of a previous OTTI is amortized prospectively over the remaining life of the security on the basis of the timing of future estimated cash flows of the security. When a credit loss component is separately recognized in earnings, the amount is identified as the total of principal cash flows not expected to be received over the remaining term of the security, as projected based on cash flow projections. The Company recognized no other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities in the years ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. Loans Held for Sale Mortgage and indirect auto loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to noninterest income. Gains and losses on loan sales are recorded in noninterest income, and direct loan origination costs and fees are deferred at origination of the loan and are recognized in noninterest income upon sale of the loan. Lender Risk Account (LRA) The Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) requires institutions participating in its mortgage loan sales program to place a portion of the sale proceeds in a lender risk account. The LRA is maintained to offset any credit losses associated with loans sold to the FHLB by the participating institution as well as losses experienced by the overall loan pool should an individual institution’s LRA be fully exhausted. The loan sale agreements provide for the FHLB to begin distributions of the LRA funds to the Company after loan pools have had five years of payment history. After five years, the required LRA balance is recalculated at least annually and excess amounts are returned to the participating institutions. Loans Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding principal balances, adjusted for unearned income, charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses and any unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. For loans amortized at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, as well as premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized as a level yield adjustment over the respective term of the loan. For all loan portfolio segments except residential and consumer loans, the Bank promptly charges-off loans, or portions thereof, when available information confirms that specific loans are uncollectible based on information that includes, but is not limited to, (1) the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower, (2) declining collateral values, and/or (3) legal action, including bankruptcy, that impairs the borrower’s ability to adequately meet its obligations. For impaired loans that are considered to be solely collateral dependent, a partial charge-off is recorded when a loss has been confirmed by an updated appraisal or other appropriate valuation of the collateral. The Bank recognizes a loan charge-off, or portion thereof, when management reasonably determines the amount of the loss. The Bank adheres to delinquency thresholds established by applicable regulatory guidance to determine the charge-off timeframe for these loans. Loans at these delinquency thresholds for which the Bank can clearly document that the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection, such that collection will occur regardless of delinquency status, need not be charged off. For all classes, all interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the financial position of the borrower indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the timely collection of interest or principal. The Bank requires a period of satisfactory performance of not less than six months before returning a nonaccrual loan to accrual status. When cash payments are received on impaired loans, the Bank records the payment as interest income unless collection of the remaining recorded principal amount is doubtful, at which time payments are used to reduce the principal balance of the loan. Troubled debt restructured loans recognize interest income on an accrual basis at the renegotiated rate if the loan is in compliance with the modified terms, no principal reduction has been granted and the loan has demonstrated the ability to perform in accordance with the renegotiated terms for a period of at least six months. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the collectibility of a loan balance is doubtful. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers nonimpaired loans and is based on historical charge-off experience by segment. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Bank over the prior three years. Management believes the three-year historical loss experience methodology is appropriate in the current economic environment. Other adjustments (qualitative/environmental considerations) for each segment may be added to the allowance for each loan segment after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment history and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due, based on the loan’s current payment status and the borrower’s financial condition, including available sources of cash flows. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is generally measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. For impaired loans where the Bank utilizes the discounted cash flows to determine the level of impairment, the Bank includes the entire change in the present value of cash flows as a provision for loan losses. The fair values of collateral dependent impaired loans are based on independent appraisals of the collateral. In general, the Bank acquires an updated appraisal upon identification of impairment and annually thereafter for commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family loans. If the most recent appraisal is over a year old, and a new appraisal is not performed, due to lack of comparable values or other reasons, the existing appraisal is utilized and discounted based on the age of the appraisal, condition of the subject property and overall economic conditions. After determining the collateral value as described, the fair value is calculated based on the determined collateral value less selling expenses. The potential for outdated appraisal values is considered in our determination of the allowance for loan losses through our analysis of various trends and conditions including the local economy, trends in charge-offs and delinquencies and the related qualitative adjustments assigned by the Bank. Segments of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the segment’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans. In the course of working with borrowers, the Bank may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. In this scenario, the Bank attempts to work out an alternative payment schedule with the borrower in order to optimize collectibility of the loan. Any loans that are modified are reviewed by the Bank to identify if a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) has occurred, which is when, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with the borrower’s current financial status, and the restructuring of the loan may include the transfer of assets from the borrower to satisfy the debt, a modification of loan terms or a combination of the two. If such efforts by the Bank do not result in a satisfactory arrangement, the loan is referred to legal counsel, at which time foreclosure proceedings are initiated. At any time prior to a sale of the property at foreclosure, the Bank may terminate foreclosure proceedings if the borrower is able to work out a satisfactory payment plan. It is the Bank’s policy that any restructured loans on nonaccrual status prior to being restructured remain on nonaccrual status until six months of satisfactory borrower performance, at which time management would consider its return to accrual status. If a loan was accruing at the time of restructuring, the Bank reviews the loan to determine if it is appropriate to continue the accrual of interest on the restructured loan. With regard to determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses, troubled debt restructured loans are considered to be impaired. As a result, the determination of the amount of impaired loans for each portfolio segment within troubled debt restructurings is the same as detailed previously. Transfers of Financial Assets Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Bank, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before maturity. Premises and Equipment Depreciable assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are as follows: building and improvements are 5-40 years; furniture and fixtures are 5-10 years; information technology-related equipment is 3-5 years. Servicing Assets When mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. Servicing assets are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. If the Bank later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular grouping, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. No changes in valuation allowances have been reported on the income statements. The fair values of servicing rights are subject to significant fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. Servicing fee income, which is reported on the consolidated income statement as other noninterest income, is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal; or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock is a required investment for institutions that are members of the FHLB system and the transfer of the stock is substantially restricted. The required investment in the common stock is based on a predetermined formula. FHLB stock is carried at cost. FHLB stock is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis. The Bank’s investment in FHLB stock was not impaired at September 30, 2023 and 2022. Bank Owned Life Insurance The Bank has purchased life insurance on directors. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement. Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net income or expense from foreclosed assets. At September 30, 2022, the Bank had no foreclosed residential real estate properties. At September 30, 2023, the Bank had two consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties totaling $136,000 for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process. At September 30, 2022, the Bank had no consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. If necessary, the Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for calendar years before 2020. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no material uncertain income tax positions. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) The cost of shares issued to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), but not yet allocated to participants, is shown as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. Compensation expense is based on the average fair value of shares as they are committed to be released to participant accounts. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are shown as a reduction in shareholders’ equity and are excluded from weighted-average common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings per share calculations until they are committed to be released. The Company had no dilutive or potentially dilutive securities during the year ended September 30, 2023. Earnings per share is not meaningful to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, as the Company completed the stock offering and conversion to stock form on July 26, 2023. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes. Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities and, if necessary, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities for which a portion of an other-than-temporary impairment has been recognized in income. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists solely of the cumulative unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, net of tax. Revenue Recognition The Company accounts for certain revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers Deposit Services. For deposit-related services, revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied, which is, generally, at a point in time. |

Future Change in Accounting Principle | Note 2: Future Change in Accounting Principle The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) The CECL model utilizes a lifetime “expected credit loss” measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans, held-to-maturity securities and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. For available-for-sale securities where fair value is less than cost, credit-related impairment, if any, will be recognized in an allowance for credit losses and adjusted each period for changes in expected credit risk. This model replaces the existing impairment models, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized. The CECL model represents a significant change from existing practice and may result in material changes to the Company’s accounting for financial instruments. The Company is evaluating the effect ASU 2016-13 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The impact of the ASU will depend upon the state of the economy and the nature of our portfolios at the date of adoption. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, or October 1, 2023 as to the Company, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has finalized the methodology determination, software models, quantitative framework, and policies and procedures for how to determine expected credit losses under the new guidance. Management is finalizing the qualitative component of CECL calculation, reviewing internal procedures, policies, and assumptions. |

Proceeds from sales of available for sale securities totaled approximately $1,655,000 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, resulting in gross realized gains of $5,735 and gross realized losses of $12,747 . There were Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments, comprised of 28 and 29 securities at September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, was approximately $11,450,000 and $12,572,000, which is approximately 100 percent and 98 percent, respectively, of the fair value of the Company’s total investment portfolio. These declines primarily resulted from changes in market interest rates. Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates and information obtained from regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary. Should the impairment of any of these securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach the maturity date. Because the decline in market value was attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and because the Company typically does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company did not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2023 and 2022. Mortgage-backed GSEs The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in residential mortgage-backed government sponsored enterprises were caused primarily by changes in interest rates.

Special Mention. Loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank's credit position at some future date. Substandard. Loans which are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Usually, this classification includes all 90 days or more, non-accrual, and past due loans Doubtful. Loss Risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are described as follows: Residential Real Estate These loans include first liens and junior liens on 1-4 family residential real estate (both owner and non-owner occupied). The main risks for these loans are changes in the value of the collateral and stability of the local economic environment and its impact on the borrowers' employment. Management specifically considers unemployment and changes in real estate values in the Company's market area. Multi-family Real Estate These loans include loans on residential real estate secured by property with five or more units. The main risks are changes in the value of the collateral, ability of borrowers to collect rents, vacancy and changes in the tenants' employment status. Management specifically considers unemployment and changes in real estate values in the Company's market area. Agriculture Real Estate These loans are primarily loans on farm ground and include loans secured by residential properties located on farm ground, but agricultural activities may not be the primary occupation of the borrowers. The main risks are changes in the value of the collateral and changes in the economy or borrowers' business operations. Management specifically considers unemployment and changes in real estate values in the Company's market area. Commercial Real Estate These loans are generally secured by owner-occupied commercial real estate including warehouses and offices. The main risks are changes in the value of the collateral and ability of borrowers to successfully conduct their business operations. Management specifically considers unemployment and changes in real estate values in the Company’s market area. Construction and Land Real Estate These loans include construction loans for 1-4 family residential and commercial properties (both owner and non-owner occupied) and first liens on land. The main risks for construction loans include uncertainties in estimating costs of construction and in estimating the market value of the completed project. The main risks for land loans are changes in the value of the collateral and stability of the local economic environment. Management specifically considers unemployment and changes in real estate values in the Company’s market area. HELOC These loans are generally secured by owner-occupied 1-4 family residences. The main risks for these loans are changes in the value of the collateral and stability of the local economic environment and its impact on the borrowers’ employment. Management specifically considers unemployment and changes in real estate values in the Company’s market area. Commercial and Industrial The commercial and industrial portfolio includes loans to commercial customers for use in financing working capital needs, equipment purchases and expansions. The loans in this category are repaid primarily from the cash flow of a borrower’s principal business operation. Credit risk in these loans is driven by creditworthiness of the borrower and the economic conditions that impact the cash flow stability from business operations. Consumer Loans These loans include vehicle loans, share loans and unsecured loans. The main risks for these loans are the depreciation of the collateral values (vehicles) and the financial condition of the borrowers. Major employment changes are specifically considered by management.

Regulatory Matters | Note 9: Regulatory Matters The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under U.S. GAAP reporting requirements and regulatory capital standards. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Furthermore, the Bank’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in these financial statements. Quantitative measures established by regulatory reporting standards to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), common equity Tier I capital (as defined) to total risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of September 30, 2023, the most recent notification from the regulators categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based capital, common equity Tier I risk-based capital and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Bank’s actual and required capital amounts and ratios are as follows (table amounts in thousands): To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective For Capital Adequacy Action Actual Purposes Provisions Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio (Dollars in thousands) As of September 30, 2023 Total Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) $ 21,120 19.0 % $ 8,897 8.0 % $ 11,121 10.0 % Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) $ 20,186 18.2 % $ 6,672 6.0 % $ 8,897 8.0 % Common Equity Tier I Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) $ 20,186 18.2 % $ 5,004 4.5 % $ 7,228 6.5 % Tier I Capital (to Average Total Assets) $ 20,186 13.1 % $ 6,158 4.0 % $ 7,697 5.0 % As of September 30, 2022 Total Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) $ 15,800 16.6 % $ 7,613 8.0 % $ 9,516 10.0 % Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) $ 14,816 15.6 % $ 5,710 6.0 % $ 7,613 8.0 % Common Equity Tier I Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) $ 14,816 15.6 % $ 4,282 4.5 % $ 6,185 6.5 % Tier I Capital (to Average Total Assets) $ 14,816 9.7 % $ 6,106 4.0 % $ 7,632 5.0 % |

Disclosures about Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities | Note 12: Fair value is the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Level 2 Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Recurring Measurements The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at September 30, 2023 and 2022: Fair Value Measurements Using Quoted Prices in Significant Active Markets Other Significant for Observable Unobservable Fair Identical Assets Inputs Inputs Value (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) September 30, 2023 U.S. Treasury securities $ 966,720 $ 966,720 $ — $ — U.S. Government agencies 3,824,770 — 3,824,770 — Mortgage-backed Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) 3,232,231 — 3,232,231 — State and political subdivisions 3,425,994 — 3,425,994 — September 30, 2022 U.S. Treasury securities $ 1,924,453 $ 1,924,453 $ — $ — U.S. Government agencies 3,798,074 — 3,798,074 — Mortgage-backed Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) 3,795,880 — 3,795,880 — State and political subdivisions 3,053,788 — 3,053,788 — Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There are no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Available-for-sale Securities Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or independent asset pricing services and pricing models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections and cash flows. Such securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. The Bank had no Level 3 securities. Nonrecurring Measurements Assets that may be recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include impaired loans, other real estate owned, and other repossessed assets. Other real estate owned is adjusted to fair value, less costs to sell, upon transfer of the loan to foreclosed assets, usually based on an appraisal of the property. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Other repossessed assets are valued at estimated sales prices, less costs to sell. The inputs for other real estate owned and other repossessed assets are considered to be Level 3. The Company had no assets or liabilities The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at September 30, 2023: Fair Value Measurements Using Quoted Prices in Significant Active Markets for Significant Other Unobservable Fair Identical Assets Observable Inputs Inputs Value (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) September 30, 2023 Foreclosed real estate $ 54,000 $ — $ — $ 54,000 The fair value for foreclosed real estate has been estimated using appraisals performed by an independent third-party.

These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Fair value estimates may not be realizable in an immediate settlement of the instrument. In some instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments, in which case fair values may be based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques, or based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristic of the financial instruments, or other factors. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimate of future cash flows. Subsequent changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. |

Commitments and Credit Risks | Note 13: Commitments and Credit Risks Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since a portion of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate. Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates.

Conversion to Stock Form | Note 15: On March 3, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted a plan of conversion (Plan). The Plan was subject to the approval of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the State of Ohio Division of Financial Institutions and was approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast by the voting members of the Bank at a special meeting. The Plan set forth that the Bank proposed to convert into a stock bank structure with the establishment of a stock holding company (Mercer Bancorp, Inc.), as parent of the Bank. The Bank converted to the stock form of ownership, followed by the issuance of all of the Bank’s outstanding stock to Mercer Bancorp, Inc. Pursuant to the Plan, the Bank determined the total offering value and number of shares of common stock based upon an independent appraiser’s valuation. The stock was priced at per share. In addition, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) which subscribed for of the common stock sold in the offering. Mercer Bancorp, Inc. is organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland and owns all of the outstanding common stock of the Bank upon completion of the conversion. The costs of issuing the common stock was deducted from the sales proceeds of the offering. At the completion of the conversion to stock form, the Bank established a liquidation account in the amount of retained earnings contained in the final prospectus. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible savings account holders who maintain deposit accounts in the Bank after conversion. |

Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Nature of Operations | Nature of Operations Mercer Bancorp, Inc. (“Mercer Bancorp” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation incorporated on March 7, 2023, to serve as the bank holding company for Mercer Savings Bank (“Mercer Savings” or the “Bank”) in connection with the Bank’s conversion from the mutual form of organization to the stock form of organization (the “Conversion”). The Conversion was completed on July 26, 2023. In connection with the Conversion, Mercer Bancorp acquired shares to a newly formed charitable foundation. The Bank’s employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) purchased Mercer Savings is an Ohio chartered stock bank engaged primarily in the business of providing a variety of deposit and lending services to individual customers in western Ohio. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential and commercial mortgage, commercial, home equity lines of credit and installment loans. Its operations are conducted through its |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2023 include the accounts of Mercer Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mercer Savings. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2022 represent the Bank only, as the conversion to stock form, including the formation of Mercer Bancorp, was completed on July 26, 2023. References herein to the “Company” for periods prior to the completion of the stock conversion should be deemed to refer to the “Bank”. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of 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 financial statements 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 relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, valuation of mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets and fair values of financial instruments. |
Cash Equivalents | Cash Equivalents The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2023 and 2022, none of the Company’s cash accounts at nonfederal government or nongovernmental agencies exceeded FDIC insurance limits. In March 2020, the Federal Reserve's board of directors approved reducing the required reserve requirement ratios to zero percent, effectively eliminating the requirement to maintain reserve balances in cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. This reduction in the required reserves does not have a defined timeframe and may be revised by the Federal Reserve's board in the future. |
Interest-bearing Time Deposits in Banks | Interest-bearing Time Deposits in Banks Interest-bearing time deposits have original maturities greater than one year at origination and are carried at cost. |
Debt Securities | Debt Securities Debt securities held by the Company generally are classified and recorded in the financial statements as follows: Classified as Description Recorded at Held to maturity (“HTM”) Certain debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity Amortized cost Trading Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term and, therefore, held for only a short period of time Fair value, with changes in fair value included in earnings Available for sale (“AFS”) Securities not classified as HTM or trading Fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income (loss) Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities, identified as the call date as to premiums and maturity date as to discounts. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method. When the fair value of securities is below amortized cost, the Company’s accounting treatment for an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is as follows: Accounting Treatment for OTTI Components Circumstances of Impairment Credit Remaining Considerations Component Portion Not intended for sale and more likely than not that the Bank will not have to sell before recovery of cost basis Recognized in earnings Recognized in other comprehensive income Intended for sale or more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell before recovery of cost basis Recognized in earnings For held-to-maturity debt securities, the amount of OTTI recorded in other comprehensive income for the noncredit portion of a previous OTTI is amortized prospectively over the remaining life of the security on the basis of the timing of future estimated cash flows of the security. When a credit loss component is separately recognized in earnings, the amount is identified as the total of principal cash flows not expected to be received over the remaining term of the security, as projected based on cash flow projections. The Company recognized no other-than-temporary impairments on debt securities in the years ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. |
Loans Held for Sale | Loans Held for Sale Mortgage and indirect auto loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to noninterest income. Gains and losses on loan sales are recorded in noninterest income, and direct loan origination costs and fees are deferred at origination of the loan and are recognized in noninterest income upon sale of the loan. |
Lender Risk Account (LRA) | Lender Risk Account (LRA) The Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) requires institutions participating in its mortgage loan sales program to place a portion of the sale proceeds in a lender risk account. The LRA is maintained to offset any credit losses associated with loans sold to the FHLB by the participating institution as well as losses experienced by the overall loan pool should an individual institution’s LRA be fully exhausted. The loan sale agreements provide for the FHLB to begin distributions of the LRA funds to the Company after loan pools have had five years of payment history. After five years, the required LRA balance is recalculated at least annually and excess amounts are returned to the participating institutions. |
Loans | Loans Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding principal balances, adjusted for unearned income, charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses and any unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. For loans amortized at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, as well as premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized as a level yield adjustment over the respective term of the loan. For all loan portfolio segments except residential and consumer loans, the Bank promptly charges-off loans, or portions thereof, when available information confirms that specific loans are uncollectible based on information that includes, but is not limited to, (1) the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower, (2) declining collateral values, and/or (3) legal action, including bankruptcy, that impairs the borrower’s ability to adequately meet its obligations. For impaired loans that are considered to be solely collateral dependent, a partial charge-off is recorded when a loss has been confirmed by an updated appraisal or other appropriate valuation of the collateral. The Bank recognizes a loan charge-off, or portion thereof, when management reasonably determines the amount of the loss. The Bank adheres to delinquency thresholds established by applicable regulatory guidance to determine the charge-off timeframe for these loans. Loans at these delinquency thresholds for which the Bank can clearly document that the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection, such that collection will occur regardless of delinquency status, need not be charged off. For all classes, all interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the financial position of the borrower indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the timely collection of interest or principal. The Bank requires a period of satisfactory performance of not less than six months before returning a nonaccrual loan to accrual status. When cash payments are received on impaired loans, the Bank records the payment as interest income unless collection of the remaining recorded principal amount is doubtful, at which time payments are used to reduce the principal balance of the loan. Troubled debt restructured loans recognize interest income on an accrual basis at the renegotiated rate if the loan is in compliance with the modified terms, no principal reduction has been granted and the loan has demonstrated the ability to perform in accordance with the renegotiated terms for a period of at least six months. |
Allowance for Loan Losses | Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the collectibility of a loan balance is doubtful. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers nonimpaired loans and is based on historical charge-off experience by segment. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Bank over the prior three years. Management believes the three-year historical loss experience methodology is appropriate in the current economic environment. Other adjustments (qualitative/environmental considerations) for each segment may be added to the allowance for each loan segment after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment history and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due, based on the loan’s current payment status and the borrower’s financial condition, including available sources of cash flows. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is generally measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. For impaired loans where the Bank utilizes the discounted cash flows to determine the level of impairment, the Bank includes the entire change in the present value of cash flows as a provision for loan losses. The fair values of collateral dependent impaired loans are based on independent appraisals of the collateral. In general, the Bank acquires an updated appraisal upon identification of impairment and annually thereafter for commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family loans. If the most recent appraisal is over a year old, and a new appraisal is not performed, due to lack of comparable values or other reasons, the existing appraisal is utilized and discounted based on the age of the appraisal, condition of the subject property and overall economic conditions. After determining the collateral value as described, the fair value is calculated based on the determined collateral value less selling expenses. The potential for outdated appraisal values is considered in our determination of the allowance for loan losses through our analysis of various trends and conditions including the local economy, trends in charge-offs and delinquencies and the related qualitative adjustments assigned by the Bank. Segments of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the segment’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans. In the course of working with borrowers, the Bank may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. In this scenario, the Bank attempts to work out an alternative payment schedule with the borrower in order to optimize collectibility of the loan. Any loans that are modified are reviewed by the Bank to identify if a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) has occurred, which is when, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with the borrower’s current financial status, and the restructuring of the loan may include the transfer of assets from the borrower to satisfy the debt, a modification of loan terms or a combination of the two. If such efforts by the Bank do not result in a satisfactory arrangement, the loan is referred to legal counsel, at which time foreclosure proceedings are initiated. At any time prior to a sale of the property at foreclosure, the Bank may terminate foreclosure proceedings if the borrower is able to work out a satisfactory payment plan. It is the Bank’s policy that any restructured loans on nonaccrual status prior to being restructured remain on nonaccrual status until six months of satisfactory borrower performance, at which time management would consider its return to accrual status. If a loan was accruing at the time of restructuring, the Bank reviews the loan to determine if it is appropriate to continue the accrual of interest on the restructured loan. With regard to determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses, troubled debt restructured loans are considered to be impaired. As a result, the determination of the amount of impaired loans for each portfolio segment within troubled debt restructurings is the same as detailed previously. |
Transfers of Financial Assets | Transfers of Financial Assets Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Bank, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before maturity. |
Premises and Equipment | Premises and Equipment Depreciable assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are as follows: building and improvements are 5-40 years; furniture and fixtures are 5-10 years; information technology-related equipment is 3-5 years. |
Servicing Assets | Servicing Assets When mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gains on sales of loans. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. Servicing assets are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. If the Bank later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular grouping, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. No changes in valuation allowances have been reported on the income statements. The fair values of servicing rights are subject to significant fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. Servicing fee income, which is reported on the consolidated income statement as other noninterest income, is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal; or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income. |
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock | Federal Home Loan Bank Stock Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock is a required investment for institutions that are members of the FHLB system and the transfer of the stock is substantially restricted. The required investment in the common stock is based on a predetermined formula. FHLB stock is carried at cost. FHLB stock is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis. The Bank’s investment in FHLB stock was not impaired at September 30, 2023 and 2022. |
Bank Owned Life Insurance | Bank Owned Life Insurance The Bank has purchased life insurance on directors. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement. |
Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale | Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net income or expense from foreclosed assets. At September 30, 2022, the Bank had no foreclosed residential real estate properties. At September 30, 2023, the Bank had two consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties totaling $136,000 for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process. At September 30, 2022, the Bank had no consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. If necessary, the Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for calendar years before 2020. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no material uncertain income tax positions. |
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) | Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) The cost of shares issued to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), but not yet allocated to participants, is shown as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. Compensation expense is based on the average fair value of shares as they are committed to be released to participant accounts. |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are shown as a reduction in shareholders’ equity and are excluded from weighted-average common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings per share calculations until they are committed to be released. The Company had no dilutive or potentially dilutive securities during the year ended September 30, 2023. Earnings per share is not meaningful to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, as the Company completed the stock offering and conversion to stock form on July 26, 2023. |
Comprehensive Income (Loss) | Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes. Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities and, if necessary, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities for which a portion of an other-than-temporary impairment has been recognized in income. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists solely of the cumulative unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, net of tax. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company accounts for certain revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers Deposit Services. For deposit-related services, revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied, which is, generally, at a point in time. |
