Income Statement

Net interest income was $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $3.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2023. The decrease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 was primarily due to increases in interest expense on deposits, partially offset by increases in interest income on loans and cash and federal funds sold. The increases in both interest income and interest expense were as a result of the high interest rate environment and increases in average interest earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $34,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and a reversal of provision for credit losses of $33,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a provision for credit losses of $140,000 and $570,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2023. The decrease in provision for credit losses for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to lower qualitative factor allocations within the Company's current expected credit losses methodology and a lower required allowance for unfunded commitments due to a decline in volume of unfunded commitments. There was $115,000 of loan charge-offs during the third quarter of 2024, which was a partial charge-off on a development loan originated in 2014. There were no charge-offs for the third quarter of 2023. There was $115,000 and $144,000 of loan charge-offs during the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition there were $6,000 of overdraft protection charge-offs during the first nine months of 2024 and none for the same period in 2023. Delinquencies remain benign, reserves are deemed to be adequate as of September 30, 2024 and the allowance coverage ratio has remained strong. The allowance for credit losses was $4.4 million, or 1.27%, of loans outstanding at September 30, 2024 as compared to $4.5 million, or 1.38%, of loans outstanding at December 31, 2023. Total non-performing loans decreased to $1.3 million at September 30, 2024 compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2023. The non-performing loans to total loans ratio decreased by eight basis points to 0.36% at September 30, 2024 from 0.44% as of December 31, 2023.

Noninterest income was $274,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $651,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $185,000 and $582,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2023. The primary reason for the increase in noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same prior year periods was due to an increase in the gain on equity securities as a result of the increase in market value. The increase in gain on equity securities was $41,000 and $53,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023, respectively. There was an increase in the loan related fee income earned for brokering interest rate swaps in the current three month period, increasing other income $25,000 as compared to the same period in 2023. There was an increase in bank owned life insurance income in the current nine month period, increasing $21,000 as compared to the same period in 2023.

Noninterest expense was $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $2.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2023. The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to increases in data and item processing as the Company

continues to invest in our information technology infrastructure. The increases for data and item processing were $67,000 and $117,000 when comparing the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 to the same periods in 2023, respectively.

Balance Sheet

Total assets increased $13.2 million or 3.0% to $452.9 million at September 30, 2024 from $439.7 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in assets was primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents and net loans receivable, partially offset by a decrease in debt securities available-for-sale. Cash and cash equivalents increased 68.1% to $54.5 million at September 30, 2024 from $32.4 million at December 31, 2023 as a result of strong deposit growth and maturity of securities during 2024. Gross loans increased $22.6 million or 6.9% to $349.2 million at September 30, 2024 from $326.6 million at December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of the increase in the commercial real estate portfolio as the Bank continues its focus on commercial lending. Management is monitoring the commercial real estate portfolio and concentrations, assessing their associated risks. As part of its risk management process, the Bank segments and stress tests its non-owner occupied commercial real estate portfolio. Approximately 85.5% or $127.6 million of this portfolio was subject to stress testing (loans having exposure under $500,000 are not subject to stress testing). The commercial real estate portfolio has an average Loan-to-Value ratio of 62.6% and a Debt Service Coverage ratio of 1.64 times, exclusive of any sponsor or guarantor support at September 30, 2024. The commercial real estate portfolio is diverse with respect to both property type as well as location with limited concentrations. Two segments, Office Space and Hospitality, are the subject of market scrutiny with these segments' exposure and selected credit metrics outlined below.

The Bank has reviewed its loan portfolio for exposure to office space given the uncertainty and potential risks associated with vacancy, future demand, and repricing risk for these assets. The Bank's exposure to this segment is minimal with only $9.2 million in non-owner-occupied office space at September 30, 2024. Notably the five loans comprising the office segment are all medical related, which the Company believes has not suffered the decline in value that the general office market has experienced. The office space loan portfolio has an average Loan-to-Value ratio of 71.3% and Debt Service Coverage ratio of 1.50 times, exclusive of any sponsor or guarantor support at September 30, 2024.

The Bank's hospitality portfolio is also an area of market focus. Loan exposure to this segment totaled $25.6 million (seven hotel properties) at September 30, 2024. The average Loan-to-Value ratio was low at 73.2% with a strong Debt Service Coverage ratio of 2.74 times, exclusive of any sponsor or guarantor support at September 30, 2024. Guarantor support for the hospitality sector is strong and loans are supported by experienced hotel operators.

Debt securities available-for-sale decreased $31.7 million or 46.6% to $36.4 million at September 30, 2024 from $68.1 million at December 31, 2023 as a result of short-term treasury securities purchased during the fourth quarter of 2023 maturing in the first quarter of 2024 with the majority of the proceeds remaining in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024. The remaining

weighted average life of our debt securities available-for-sale portfolio was 1.89 years at September 30, 2024.

We experienced strong deposit growth of $21.8 million or 6.6% to $354.8 million at September 30, 2024 from $333.0 million at December 31, 2023 primarily as a result of organic core deposit gathering strategies with the growth being from local businesses and individuals. The deposit growth was supplemented with brokered deposits to support the loan growth of 6.9%. Uninsured and uncollateralized deposits totaled approximately $38.1 million or 11.0% of the Bank's total deposits, as of September 30, 2024. The Company maintains highly liquid sources of available funds in addition to cash and cash equivalents, including unused borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and available federal funds lines with other banks, as well as unpledged available-for-sale debt securities. At September 30, 2024, available funding from these sources totaled 534.4% of uninsured and uncollateralized deposits. Stockholders' equity increased $703,000 to $47.7 million at September 30, 2024 from $47.0 million at December 31, 2023 primarily as a result of year to date net income of $1.1 million and a decrease of $934,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss, partially offset by stock repurchases of $1.7 million. The Company's accumulated other comprehensive loss resulting from the unrealized losses on debt securities available-for-sale was 0.7% of total stockholders' equity at September 30, 2024, which is low compared to the banking industry. The Bank's stand-alone stockholders' equity increased $2.4 million to $41.3 million at September 30, 2024 from $38.9 million at December 31, 2023 primarily as a result of year to date net income for the Bank.
