NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation : On January 15, 2020, Bogota Financial Corp. (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) became the mid-tier stock holding company for Bogota Savings Bank (the “Bank”) in connection with the reorganization of Bogota Savings Bank into the two -tier mutual holding company structure. The Company completed its stock offering in connection with the mutual holding company reorganization of the Bank on January 15, 2020. Shares of the Company’s common stock began trading on January 16, 2020 on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “BSBK.”
The Bank maintains two subsidiaries. Bogota Securities Corp. was formed to buy, sell and hold investment securities. Bogota Properties, LLC, formed to hold real estate owned by the Company, was inactive at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 .
The Bank generally originates residential, commercial and consumer loans to, and accepts deposits from, customers in New Jersey. The debtors’ ability to repay the loans is dependent upon the region’s economy and the borrowers’ circumstances. The Bank is also subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examination by those regulatory authorities.
Reclassifications : Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net loss or stockholders' equity.
Earnings (Loss) per Share: Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For purposes of calculating basic EPS, weighted average common shares outstanding excludes unallocated employee stock ownership plan shares that have not been committed for release and non-vested shares of restricted stock. Diluted EPS is computed using the same method as basic EPS, except it also reflects the potential dilution which could occur if non-vested restricted stock vested or stock options were exercised and converted into common stock. The potentially diluted shares would then be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 , options to purchase 508,619 and 523,619 c ommon shares, respectively, with an exercise price of $ 10.45 were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because to do so would be anti-dilutive. Anti-dilutive options are those options with exercise prices in excess of the weighted average market value for the periods presented. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 , 5,189 and 1,957 sha res of outstanding non-vested stock were added in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 .

Use of Estimates : To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ under different conditions than those assumed.
Basis of Presentation : The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting in Article 10 of Regulation S- X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company,” we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and its subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year or any other period.
The unaudited financial statements and other financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10 -Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements, and related notes, of the Company at and for the year ended December 31, 2024 .

NOTE 2 – SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE (Continued)
Unrealized losses on corporate bonds available for sale are not considered to be credit losses because the bonds are of high credit quality, management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value was largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. At June 30, 2025 , 100 % of the mortgage-backed securities were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily FNMA and FHLMC, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. There were 51 securities in a l oss position at June 30, 2025 . Because the decline in fair value was attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Bank does not have the intent to sell these mortgage-backed securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Bank does not consider these losses to be credit-related at June 30, 2025 . As of June 30, 2025 , no allowance for credit losses ("ACL") was required on available for sale securities. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , securities available for sale with a carrying valu e of $ 5,476,487 and $ 5,741,240 were pledged to secure public deposits. Securities available for sale at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , which were pledged to secure repurchase agreements at the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, had a carrying value of $ 69,916 and $ 12,881,892 , respectively.

Since the Bank continues to have limited historical loss history, the majority of changes in the ACL noted in the above tables are driven by changes in the balances of the related loan segments and in the economic forecast.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Bank categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Bank analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. Commercial and multi-family real estate, commercial and industrial and construction loans are graded on an annual basis. Residential and consumer loans are primarily evaluated based on performance. Refer to the immediately preceding table for the aging of the recorded investment of these loan segments. The Bank uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Special Mention – Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans not meeting the criteria above are considered to be Pass rated loans.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 4 – DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITES
The Company uses derivative financial instruments as components of its market risk management, principally to manage interest rate risk. Certain derivatives may be entered into in connection with transactions with commercial customers. Derivatives are not used for speculative purposes. All derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, reported at fair value and presented on a gross basis. Until a derivative is settled, a favorable change in fair value results in an unrealized gain that is recognized as an asset, while an unfavorable change in fair value results in an unrealized loss that is recognized as a liability.
The Company generally applies hedge accounting to its derivatives used for market risk management purposes. Hedge accounting is permitted only if specific criteria are met, including a requirement that a highly effective relationship exists between the derivative instrument and the hedged item, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis. Changes in the fair value of effective fair value hedges are recognized in current earnings (with the change in fair value of the hedged asset or liability also recognized in earnings). Changes in the fair value of effective cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item. Ineffective portions of hedge results are recognized in current earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives for which hedge accounting is not applied are recognized in current earnings.
The Company formally documents at inception all relationships between the derivative instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as hedges to specific assets and liabilities, or to specific firm commitments. The Company also formally assesses, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair values or cash flows of the hedged items. If it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective or has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company would discontinue hedge accounting prospectively. Gains or losses resulting from the termination of a derivative accounted for as a cash flow hedge remain in other comprehensive income (loss) and is (accreted) amortized to earnings over the remaining period of the former hedging relationship.
Certain derivative financial instruments are offered to certain commercial banking customers to manage their risk of exposure and risk management strategies. These derivative instruments consist primarily of currency forward contracts and interest rate swap contracts. The risk associated with these transactions is mitigated by simultaneously entering into similar transactions having essentially offsetting terms with a third party, i.e. back-to-back swaps. In addition, the Company executes interest rate swaps with third parties in order to hedge the interest rate risk of short-term FHLB advances.
Interest Rate Swaps. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , the Company had five cash flow interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $ 65.0 million hedging certain FHLB advances and brokered deposits. The Company also had two fair value interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $ 60.0 million hedging certain fixed-rate residential loans. These interest rate swaps meet the hedge accounting requirements. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in comprehensive income. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount, which converts variable-rate liabilities to a fixed rate. Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts to a counterparty in exchange for the Company receiving variable-rate payments over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amount, which convert fixed-rate assets into a variable rate. The fair value hedges are recorded as components of other assets and other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial condition. Changes in fair value of the fair value hedges are recorded against the basis of the asset or liability being hedged. The gain or loss on these derivatives, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged items attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in interest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at June 30, 2025 :

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 , unrealized gains of $ 163,000 and $ 482,000 were recorded for changes in fair value of interest rate swaps with third parties and at June 30, 2025 , accrued interest was $ 90,000 , after-tax.
The Company has agreements with counterparties that contain a provision that if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default of its derivative obligations. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 , the net effect on interest expense on the Federal H ome Loan Bank advances and certificates of deposit was a reduced expense of $ 186,000 and $ 461,000 , respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 , the net effect on interest expense on the Federal Home Loan Bank advances and certificates of deposit was a reduced expense of $ 363,000 and $ 749,000 , respectively.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a bank’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Bank used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:
The Bank’s available-for-sale portfolio is carried at estimated fair value on a recurring basis, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income/loss in stockholders’ equity. The securities available-for-sale portfolio consists of corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities. The fair values of these securities are obtained from an independent nationally recognized pricing service. An independent pricing service provides prices which are categorized as Level 2, as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are generally not available for the securities.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 . Critical accounting estimates are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and procedures and are particularly susceptible to significant change. Critical accounting policies are defined as those involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that could have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income under different assumptions or conditions. Actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates under different conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying values of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
Total Assets. Assets decreased $49.7 million, or 5.1%, from $971.5 million at December 31, 2024 to $921.8 million at June 30, 2025 , primarily due to a $31.9 million, or 61.1%, decrease in cash and cash equivalents, and an $18.5 million, or 2.6%, decrease in loans, offset by a $4.3 million, or 3.1%, increase in securities available for sale.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $31.9 million, or 61.1%, to $20.3 million at June 30, 2025 from $52.2 million at December 31, 2024 , as excess funds were used to repay borrowings.
Securities Available for Sale. Securities available for sale increased $4.3 million, or 3.1%, to $144.6 million at June 30, 2025 from $140.3 million at December 31, 2024 , primarily due to purchases of corporate bonds and residential mortgage-backed securities.
Net Loans. Net loans decreased $18.5 million, or 2.6%, to $693.2 million at June 30, 2025 from $711.7 million at December 31, 2024 . The decrease was due to a decrease of $14.5 million, or 3.1%, in one- to four-residential real estate loans to $458.2 million from $472.7 million at December 31, 2024 , a decrease of $17.4 million, or 40.3%, in construction loans to $25.8 million at June 30, 2025 from $43.2 million at December 31, 2024 , and a decrease of $1.9 million, or 30.5%, in commercial and industrial loans to $4.3 million at June 30, 2025 from $6.2 million at December 31, 2024 , offset by a $8.0 million, or 10.7%, increase in multi-family real estate loans to $82.1 million at June 30, 2025 from $74.2 million at December 31, 2024 , and by a $7.3 million, or 6.2%, increase in commercial real estate loans to $125.3 million at June 30, 2025 from $118.0 million at December 31, 2024 . The decreases in one- to four-residential real estate loans and construction loans reflected a decrease in demand for such loans due to the interest rate environment. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , the Bank had no loans held for sale.
Asset Quality. Delinquent loans increased $6.1 million to $20.4 million, or 2.9% of total loans, at June 30, 2025 , compared to $14.3 million, or 2.0% of total loans, at December 31, 2024 . The increase was primarily due to one commercial real estate loan that became 60 days past due, which has a balance of $7.1 million, and is considered well-secured, accruing and in the process of collection. We did not record any specific reserves or charge-offs for our nonaccrual loans. During the same timeframe, non-performing assets decreased from $14.0 million at December 31, 2024 to $13.9 million, which represented 1.5% of total assets at June 30, 2025 . The Company’s allowance for credit losses was 0.37% of total loans and 18.69% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2025 compared to 0.37% of total loans and 18.77% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2024 . The Bank does not have any exposure to commercial real estate loans secured by office space. Non-performing loans at June 30, 2025 were primarily comprised of one construction loan for a catering hall that is 99% complete, with a balance of $10.9 million and a loan to value ratio of 45%. Based on the well-secured nature of the loan, there was no associated specific reserve at June 30, 2025 . The Company has commenced legal action to foreclose on the property, which is ongoing. The Company did not record any charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024.
Total Liabilities. Total liabilities decreased $50.8 million, or 6.1%, to $783.4 million as of June 30, 2025 from $834.2 million as of December 31, 2024 , primarily due to a $36.2 million decrease in borrowings and a $14.0 million decrease in deposits.

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

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024
General. Net income increased $657,000 to $224,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from a net loss of $432,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 . The increase was primarily due to an increase of $920,000 in net interest income, partially offset by an increase of $129,000 in non-interest expenses, and a decrease of $229,000 in income tax benefit.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $31,000, or 0.3%, to $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 .
Interest income on cash and cash equivalents decreased $21,000, or 16.4%, to $106,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $127,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to a decrease of 164 basis points in the average yield from 5.90% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 4.26% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 . The decrease in the average yield was partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in the average balance to $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 .
Interest income on loans decreased $7,000, or 0.1%, as a $12.3 million decrease in the average balance to $697.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $710.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was offset by a seven basis point increase in the yield from 4.70% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 4.77% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 .
Interest income on securities increased $86,000, or 4.6%, due to a 151 basis points, from 4.01% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 5.52% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 , which was offset by a $44.4 million decrease in the average balance to $141.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $185.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 . The changes in the yield and average balance reflect that, in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company sold approximately $66.0 million in amortized cost ($57.1 million in market value) of securities with a weighted average yield of 1.89% and reinvested $32.7 million of these proceeds into securities with a weighted average yield of 5.60%.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $920,000, or 11.9%, from $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to lower average balances on certificates of deposit and borrowings and a decrease in the costs of certificates of deposit, offset by an increase in borrowing costs.
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased $730,000, or 11.7%, to $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 . The decrease was primarily due to lower average balance of certificates of deposit, which decreased to $482.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $517.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 . The decrease was offset by an increase in the average balances of NOW and money market accounts, which increased by $5.6 million, from $67.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $73.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 , and by an increase in the average balances of savings accounts, which increased by $4.7 million, from $44.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $48.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 . In addition to the changes in average balances, the average cost of interest bearing deposits decreased 32 basis points from 3.99% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 , to 3.67% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 , due to a 44 basis point decrease in the average costs of certificates of deposit, offset by increases in the average costs of NOW and money market accounts and savings accounts.
Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $190,000, or 12.9%, from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 . The decrease was due to a decrease in the average balance of $40.0 million to $130.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 . The decrease was offset by a 47 basis point increase in the average cost of borrowings to 3.96% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 3.49% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to the new borrowings being shorter durations at higher rates.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $951,000, or 34.7%, to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 . The increase reflected a 48 basis point increase in the net interest rate spread to 1.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 0.72% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 . The net interest margin increased 53 basis points to 1.74% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 1.21% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 .
Provision for Credit Losses. We did not record a provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a $35,000 provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 . The decrease in the allowance for credit losses was due to the decrease in loans and held-to-maturity securities and the absence of charge-offs.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased by $29,000, or 9.4%, to $332,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $303,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 . Bank-owned life insurance income increased $13,000, or 6.0%, due to higher yield during 2025 . Additionally, gains on the sale of loans increased $9,000 compared to no gain on sale of loans for the three months ended June 30, 2024 .
Non-Interest Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 , non-interest expense increased $129,000, or 3.5%, over the comparable 2024 period. This was due to a $274,000, or 74.6%, increase in occupancy and equipment expense, which increased as a result of increased occupancy costs related to the sale leaseback transaction that was completed in the fourth quarter of 2024, and a $112,000, or 43.2%, increase in professional fees, which were largely attributable to legal expense related to ongoing foreclosure of one past due loan. These increases were offset by a $83,000, or 3.9%, decrease in salaries and benefits costs, which was a result of reduced headcount, and a $99,000 decrease in advertising costs when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 .
Income Tax Expense. Income tax benefit decreased $229,000, or 81.3%, to a benefit of $53,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from a $281,000 benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 . The decrease was due to an increase of $886,000 of net income.

Interest income on loans increased $387,000, or 2.3%, to $16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due primarily to a 18 basis point increase in the average yield from 4.64% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 4.82% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 , which was offset by a $10.3 million decrease in the average balance to $701.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $711.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 .
Interest income on securities increased $390,000, or 11.5%, to $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 , primarily due to a 143 basis point increase in the average yield from 3.85% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 5.28% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 . This was partially offset by a $32.9 million decrease in the average balance to $143.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $176.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 . The decrease in the average balance and the increase in the yield was as a result of a balance sheet restructuring undertaken in the fourth quarter of 2024, where certain lower-yielding securities were sold, a portion of the proceeds were reinvested into higher-yielding securities and all remaining held to maturity securities were reclassified as available for sale.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.0 million, or 6.6%, from $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $14.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 , primarily due to lower average balance and cost of certificates of deposit and lower average balance of borrowings, offset by an increase in costs of borrowings.
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased $938,000, or 7.7%, to $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 . The decrease was primarily due to lower average balances on certificates of deposit, which decreased to $483.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $517.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and due to the lower costs of certificates of deposit. The decrease was offset by an increase in the average balances of NOW and money market accounts, which increased by $7.7 million, from $68.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $76.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 , and due to higher cost of those accounts which increased 44 basis points from 1.95% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 , to 2.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 . Also the average balances of savings accounts increased $3.6 million, from $43.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $47.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 , and the cost of those accounts increased 17 basis points from 1.85% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 , to 2.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 .
Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $62,000, or 2.1% . The decrease was due to a decrease in the average balance of $16.2 million to $144.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 . The increase in average balances of borrowings was offset by a 33 basis point increase in the average cost of borrowings to 3.99% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from 3.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to the new borrowings being shorter durations at higher rates.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $1.9 million, or 35.1%, to $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 . The increase reflected a 47 basis point increase in the net interest rate spread to 1.15% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from 0.68% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 . The net interest margin increased 50 basis points to 1.70% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from 1.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 .
Provision for Credit Losses. We recorded an $80,000 recovery of credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a $70,000 provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 . The decrease in the provision for credit losses was due to the decrease in loans, loan commitments and held-to-maturity securities and the absence of charge-offs.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased by $619,000, or 102.7%, to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $602,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 . Bank-owned life insurance income increased $564,000, or 132.0%, due to a death benefit receivable related to a former employee and higher yields during 2025 . Additionally, the gain on the sale of loans increased $38,000 compared to no gain on sale of loans for the six months ended June 30, 2024 .
Non-Interest Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 , non-interest expense increased $345,000, or 4.7%, over the comparable 2024 period. This was due to a $574,000, or 77.8%, increase in occupancy and equipment expense, which increased as a result of the sale leaseback transaction that was completed in the fourth quarter of 2024, and by a $114,000, or 25.0%, increase in professional fees that was largely attributable to legal fees related to one past due loan. These were offset by a $162,000, or 3.8%, decrease in salaries and benefits costs, which was a result of reduced headcount, and a $104,000 decrease in advertising expense.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax benefit decreased $488,000, or 85.8%, to a benefit of $81,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from a $568,000 benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2024 . The decrease was due to an increase of $2.3 million of net income.

Management of Market Risk
General. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of loans and securities, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and borrowings. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage our exposure to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, our board of directors has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee (the “ALCO”), which is comprised of three members of executive management and two independent directors, which oversees the asset/liability management processes and related procedures. The ALCO meets on at least a quarterly basis and reviews asset/liability strategies, liquidity, funding sources, interest rate risk measurement reports, capital levels and economic trends at both national and local levels. Our interest rate risk position is also monitored quarterly by the board of directors.
We manage our interest rate risk to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in market interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk: originating and purchasing loans with adjustable interest rates; promoting core deposit products; monitoring the length of our borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank and brokered deposits depending on the interest rate environment; maintaining all of our investments as available-for-sale; diversifying our loan portfolio; and strengthening our capital position. By following these strategies, we believe that we are better positioned to react to changes in market interest rates.
Net Portfolio Value Simulation. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through a net portfolio value of equity (“NPV”) model. NPV represents the present value of the expected cash flows from our assets less the present value of the expected cash flows arising from our liabilities, adjusted for the value of off-balance sheet contracts. The NPV ratio represents the dollar amount of our NPV divided by the present value of our total assets for a given interest rate scenario. NPV attempts to quantify our economic value using a discounted cash flow methodology while the NPV ratio reflects that value as a form of capital ratio. We estimate what our NPV would be at a specific date. We then calculate what the NPV would be at the same date throughout a series of interest rate scenarios representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve. We currently calculate NPV under the assumptions that interest rates increase and decrease 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points from current market rates.
The following table presents the estimated changes in our net portfolio value that would result from changes in market interest rates as of June 30, 2025 . All estimated changes presented in the table are within the policy limits approved by the board of directors.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The table above assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the date indicated remains constant uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our NPV and will differ from actual results.
Net Interest Income Analysis. We also use income simulation to measure interest rate risk inherent in our balance sheet at a given point in time by showing the effect on net interest income over specified time frames and using different interest rate shocks and ramps. The assumptions include management’s best assessment of the effect of changing interest rates on the prepayment speeds of certain assets and liabilities, projections for account balances in each of the product lines offered and the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates. These assumptions are subject to change, and as a result, the model is not expected to precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in the balance sheet composition and market conditions. Assumptions are supported with quarterly back testing of the model to actual market rate shifts.

The calculated change in net interest income assumes an instantaneous parallel shift of the yield curve.
The preceding simulation analyses do not represent a forecast of actual results and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions, which are subject to change, including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels, including the yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows, and others. Also, as market conditions vary, prepayment/refinancing levels, the varying impact of interest rate changes on caps and floors embedded in adjustable-rate loans, early withdrawal of deposits, changes in product preferences, and other internal/external variables will likely deviate from those assumed.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity. Liquidity describes our ability to meet financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities and proceeds from calls, maturities and sales of securities and sales of loans. We also borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. At June 30, 2025 , we had the ability to borrow up to $241.3 million, of which $139.5 million was outstanding and $5.5 million was utilized as collateral for letters of credit issued to secure municipal deposits. At June 30, 2025 , we had $54.0 million in unsecured lines of credit with four correspondent banks with no outstanding balance.
The board of directors is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and st rategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We believe that we had ample sources of liquidity to satisfy our short- and long-term liquidity needs as of June 30, 2025 .
While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, loan prepayments and loan and security sales are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any period. At June 30, 2025 , cash and cash equivalents totaled $20.3 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $144.6 million at June 30, 2025 .
We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2025 t otaled $429.4 million, or 68.4% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or borrowings than we currently pay. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
Capital Resources. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At June 30, 2025 , we exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and were considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. As a result of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relie f, and Consumer Protection Act, as modified in April 2020, the federal banking agencies were required to develop a “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” (the ratio of a bank's Tier 1 “equity capital to average total consolidated assets) for financial institutions with less than $10 billion. A “qualifying community bank” with capital exceeding 9% will be considered compliant with all applicable regulatory capital and leverage requirements, including the capital requirements to be considered "well capitalized” under Prompt Corrective Action statutes. As of June 30, 2025 , the Bank reported as a qualifying community bank with a ratio of 15.40%.
Inflation
Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities relate to banking activities and are monetary. The consolidated financial statements and related financial data are presented in accordance with GAAP. GAAP currently requires the Company to measure the financial position and results of operations in terms of historical dollars, except for securities available for sale, impaired loans, and other real estate loans that are measured at fair value. Changes in the value of money due to inflation can cause purchasing power loss. Management's opinion is that movements in interest rates affect the financial condition and results of operations to a greater degree than changes in the rate of inflation. It should be noted that interest rates and inflation do affect each other but do not always move in correlation with each other. The Company's ability to match the interest sensitivity of its financial assets to the interest sensitivity of its liabilities in its asset/liability management may tend to minimize the effect of changes in interest rates on the Company's performance.
