Recent Accounting Developments In December 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires disclosure in the notes to financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. Public business entities must disclose the amount of employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. A qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions must be disclosed if not disaggregated quantitatively. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Management is reviewing the ASU but does not expect that it will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Note 3. Earnings per Common Share Earnings per common share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock issued during the period (retroactively adjusted for stock splits and stock dividends, if any), including Dividend Reinvestment Plan shares issuable upon reinvestment of dividends declared, and reduced for shares held in treasury. The following tables illustrate the calculation of earnings per common share for the periods presented, as adjusted for the cash dividends declared on the preferred stock: Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Net income, as reported $ 4,746,787 $ 3,114,251 Less: dividends to preferred shareholders 28,125 31,875 Net income available to common shareholders $ 4,718,662 $ 3,082,376 Weighted average number of common shares used in calculating earnings per share 5,607,086 5,563,774 Earnings per common share $ 0.84 $ 0.55 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Net income, as reported $ 12,332,018 $ 8,665,338 Less: dividends to preferred shareholders 84,375 95,625 Net income available to common shareholders $ 12,247,643 $ 8,569,713 Weighted average number of common shares used in calculating earnings per share 5,608,353 5,542,353 Earnings per common share $ 2.18 $ 1.55 Note 4.

Management determined that no individual debt securities in an unrealized loss position represented credit losses that would require an allowance for credit losses, and that the unrealized losses as of the balance sheet dates were primarily attributed to increases in market interest rates since these securities were purchased under other market conditions. Accordingly, there was no ACL on AFS debt securities as of September 30, 2025, or December 31, 2024. Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities which totaled $ 436,867 and $ 509,429 on September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, was reported in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. 14 Table of Contents Note 5.

The Company groups credit risk into Groups A, B and C. The manner the Company utilizes to assign risk grouping is driven by loan purpose. Commercial purpose loans are individually risk graded while the retail portion of the portfolio is generally grouped by delinquency pool. Group A loans - Pass – are loans that are expected to perform as agreed under their respective terms. Such loans carry a normal level of risk that does not require management attention beyond that warranted by the loan or loan relationship characteristics, such as loan size or relationship size. Group A loans include commercial purpose loans that are individually risk rated and retail loans that are rated by pool. Group A retail loans include performing consumer and residential real estate loans. Residential real estate loans are loans to individuals secured by 1-4 family homes, including first mortgages, home equity and home improvement loans. Loan balances fully secured by deposit accounts or that are fully guaranteed by the federal government are considered acceptable risk. Group B loans – Special Mention - are loans that require greater attention than the acceptable risk loans in Group A. Characteristics of such loans may include, but are not limited to, borrowers that are experiencing negative operating trends such as reduced sales or margins, borrowers that have exposure to adverse market conditions such as increased competition or regulatory burden, or borrowers that have had unexpected or adverse changes in management. These loans have a greater likelihood of migrating to an unacceptable risk level if these characteristics are left unchecked. Group B is limited to commercial purpose loans that are individually risk rated. Group C loans – Substandard/Doubtful – are loans that have distinct shortcomings that require a greater degree of management attention. Examples of these shortcomings include a borrower's inadequate capacity to service debt, poor operating performance, or insolvency. These loans are more likely to result in repayment through collateral liquidation. Group C loans range from those that are likely to sustain some loss if the shortcomings are not corrected, to those for which loss is imminent and non-accrual treatment is warranted. Group C loans include individually rated commercial purpose loans and retail loans adversely rated in accordance with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s Uniform Retail Credit Classification Policy. Group C retail loans include 1-4 family residential real estate loans and home equity loans past due 90 days or more with loan-to-value ratios greater than 60%, home equity loans 90 days or more past due where the Bank does not hold first mortgage, irrespective of loan-to-value, loans in bankruptcy where repayment is likely but not yet established, and lastly consumer loans that are 90 days or more past due. Commercial purpose loan ratings are assigned by the commercial account officer; for larger and more complex commercial loans, the credit rating is a collaborative assignment by the lender and the credit analyst. The credit risk rating is based on the borrower's expected performance, i.e., the likelihood that the borrower will be able to service its obligations in accordance with the loan terms. Credit risk ratings are meant to measure risk versus simply record history. Assessment of expected future payment performance requires consideration of numerous factors. While past performance is part of the overall evaluation, expected performance is based on an analysis of the borrower's financial strength, and historical and projected factors such as size and financing alternatives, capacity and cash flow, balance sheet and income statement trends, the quality and timeliness of financial reporting, and the quality of the borrower’s management. Other factors influencing the credit risk rating to a lesser degree include collateral coverage and control, guarantor strength and commitment, documentation, structure and covenants and industry conditions. There are uncertainties inherent in this process. Credit risk ratings are dynamic and require updating whenever relevant information is received. Risk ratings are assessed on an ongoing basis and at various points, including at delinquency or at the time of other adverse events. For larger, more complex or adversely rated loans, risk ratings are also assessed at the time of annual or periodic review. Lenders are required to make immediate disclosure to the Senior Lender of any known increase in loan risk, even if considered temporary in nature. 17 Table of Contents The risk ratings within the loan portfolio by loan segment and origination year, were as follows: As of September 30, 2025 Revolving Revolving Loans Loans Term Loans Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year Amortized Converted 2025 2024 2023 2022 2021 Prior Cost Basis to Term Total (Dollars in Thousands) Commercial & Industrial: Pass $ 7,193 $ 19,334 $ 10,859 $ 12,390 $ 6,019 $ 5,445 $ 53,314 $ 0 $ 114,554 Special mention 0 0 0 81 107 0 1,006 0 1,194 Substandard/Doubtful 0 0 314 4,038 517 1,714 1,844 0 8,427 Total $ 7,193 $ 19,334 $ 11,173 $ 16,509 $ 6,643 $ 7,159 $ 56,164 $ 0 $ 124,175 Purchased: Pass $ 4,592 $ 0 $ 3,210 $ 71 $ 778 $ 2,119 $ 0 $ 0 $ 10,770 Total $ 4,592 $ 0 $ 3,210 $ 71 $ 778 $ 2,119 $ 0 $ 0 $ 10,770 Commercial real estate: Pass $ 29,626 $ 57,164 $ 76,479 $ 88,547 $ 32,291 $ 125,934 $ 53,441 $ 0 $ 463,482 Special mention 0 0 4,609 183 1,369 4,974 0 0 11,135 Substandard/Doubtful 225 0 42 323 551 5,574 0 0 6,715 Total $ 29,851 $ 57,164 $ 81,130 $ 89,053 $ 34,211 $ 136,482 $ 53,441 $ 0 $ 481,332 Municipal: Pass $ 30,400 $ 4,175 $ 138 $ 295 $ 2,621 $ 10,329 $ 20,866 $ 0 $ 68,824 Special mention 0 0 0 0 1,266 0 0 0 1,266 Total $ 30,400 $ 4,175 $ 138 $ 295 $ 3,887 $ 10,329 $ 20,866 $ 0 $ 70,090 Residential real estate -

There were no residential real estate loans in process of foreclosure as of September 30, 2025. Allowance for credit losses Credit losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that future payments of a loan balance are unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Unsecured loans are charged off when they become uncollectible and no later than 120 days past due. Unsecured loans to customers who subsequently file bankruptcy, are charged off within 30 days of receipt of the notification of filing or by the end of the month in which the loans become 120 days past due, whichever occurs first. For secured loans, both residential and commercial, the potential loss on these loans is carried as a loan loss reserve specific allocation; the loss portion is charged off when collection of the full loan appears unlikely. The unsecured portion of a real estate loan is that portion of the loan exceeding the "fair value" of the collateral less the estimated cost to sell. The value of the collateral is determined in accordance with the Company’s appraisal policy. The unsecured portion of a real estate secured loan is charged off by the end of the month in which the loan becomes 180 days past due. 21 Table of Contents As described below, the allowance consists of general and specific components. However, the entire allowance is available to absorb losses in the loan portfolio, regardless of general or specific components considered in determining the amount of the allowance. General component The general component of the ACL is based on methodologies, inputs, and assumptions utilized to estimate lifetime credit losses when applied to the following loan segments: commercial and industrial, purchased loans, CRE, municipal, residential real estate 1st lien, residential real estate Jr lien and consumer loans. The Company does not disaggregate its portfolio segments further into classes. The Company utilizes a DCF approach to calculate the expected loss for each portfolio segment. Within the DCF model, probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) assumptions are applied to calculate the expected loss for each segment. PD is management’s estimate of the probability the asset will default within a given timeframe and LGD is management’s estimate of the percentage of assets not expected to be collected due to default. The Company's PD and LGD assumptions may be derived from internal historical default and loss experience or from external data where there are not statistically meaningful loss events for a loan segment, or it does not have default and loss data that covers a full economic cycle. As of September 30, 2025, the primary macroeconomic drivers used within the DCF model included forecasts of civilian unemployment and changes in national gross domestic product (GDP). Management monitors and assesses its macroeconomic drivers at least annually (generally in the fourth quarter, or more frequently as circumstances warrant) to determine whether they continue to be the most predictive indicator of losses within the Company's loan portfolio, and these macroeconomic drivers may change from time to time. To determine its reasonable and supportable forecast, management may leverage macroeconomic forecasts obtained from various reputable sources, which may include, but are not limited to, the FOMC forecast and other publicly available forecasts from well recognized, leading economists or firms. The Company's reasonable and supportable forecast period generally ranges from one to three years, depending on the facts and circumstances of the current state of the economy, portfolio segment, and management's judgment of what can be reasonably supported. The model reversion period generally ranges from one to six years, and it also depends on the current state of the economy and management's judgments of such. Management monitors and assesses the forecast and reversion period at least annually, or more frequently as circumstances warrant. The Company used a one-year forecast and reversion period to calculate the ACL on loans as of September 30, 2025 and 2024. When the DCF method is used to determine the ACL, management does not adjust the effective interest rate used to discount expected cash flows to incorporate expected prepayments. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans. For term loans, the contractual life is calculated based on the maturity date. For commercial revolving loans with no stated maturity date, the contractual life is calculated based on the internal review date. For all other revolving loans, the contractual life is based on either the estimated maturity date or a default date. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications. In calculating the ACL on loans, the contractual life of a loan must be adjusted for prepayments to arrive at expected cash flows. The Company models term loans using an annualized prepayment. When the Company has a specific expectation of differing payment behavior for a given loan, the loan may be evaluated individually. For revolving loans that do not have a principal payment schedule, a curtailment rate is factored into the expected cash flow. Management has elected to use loss rate methodologies appropriate for each loan segment. The DCF method was chosen for the commercial and industrial, CRE, residential real estate 1 st lien, residential real estate Jr Lien and consumer loans. The DCF model, being periodic in nature, allows for effective incorporation of a reasonable and supportable forecast in a directionally consistent and objective manner. For the purchased loans segment, a long-term average loss rate is calculated and applied on a quarterly basis for the remaining life of the pool. Due to the lack of any historical loss data, a manual entry methodology was chosen for the municipal loans given the immaterial nature of the pool when considering prior loss history as well as the inability to reasonably forecast a PD or LGD for the pool. Qualitative factors are also applied to include the levels of and trends in delinquencies and non-performing loans, levels of and trends in loan risk groups, trends in volumes and terms of loans, effects of any changes in loan related policies, experience, ability and the depth of management, documentation and credit data exception levels, national and local economic trends, external factors such as competition and regulation and lastly, concentrations of credit risk in a variety of areas, including portfolio product mix, the level of loans to individual borrowers and their related interests, loans to industry segments, and the geographic distribution of CRE loans. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to revision as more information becomes available. Management’s review of the ACL during the third quarter of 2025 resulted in an increase in the risk status of external factors in the purchased loan and residential Jr Lien segments to reflect uncertainty regarding the impact to customers from a recent government shutdown. The risk status of volume and terms was also increased in the residential Jr Lien segment to reflect an increase in loan volume in this segment, specifically home equity lines of credit. 22 Table of Contents The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. The Company has policies, procedures and internal controls that management believes are commensurate with the risk profile of each of these segments. Major risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows: Commercial & Industrial – Loans in this segment include commercial and industrial loans and to a lesser extent loans to finance agricultural production. Commercial loans are made to businesses and are generally secured by assets of the business, including trade assets and equipment. While not the primary collateral, in many cases these loans may also be secured by the real estate of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. A weakened economy, soft consumer spending, unfavorable foreign trade conditions and the rising cost of labor or raw materials are examples of issues that can impact credit quality in this segment. Purchased – Loans in this segment are loans purchased through a loan purchasing program with BHG. BHG originates commercial loans to medical professionals and consumer loans to other professionals nationwide and sells them individually to a secondary market, primarily banks, through a bid process. The Bank has established conservative credit parameters and expects a low risk of default in this portfolio. Commercial Real Estate – Loans in this segment are principally made to businesses and are generally secured by either owner-occupied, or non-owner occupied CRE. A relatively small portion of this segment includes farm loans secured by farmland and buildings. As with commercial and industrial loans, repayment of owner-occupied CRE loans is expected from the cash flows of the business and the segment would be impacted by the same risk factors as commercial and industrial loans. The non-owner occupied CRE portion includes both residential and commercial construction loans, vacant land and real estate development loans, multi-family dwelling loans and commercial rental property loans. Repayment of construction loans is expected from permanent financing takeout; the Company generally requires commitment or eligibility for the take-out financing prior to construction loan origination. Real estate development loans are generally repaid from the sale of the subject real property as the project progresses. Construction and development lending entail additional risks, including the project exceeding budget, not being constructed according to plans, not receiving permits, or the pre-leasing or occupancy rate not meeting expectations. Repayment of multi-family loans and commercial rental property loans is expected from the cash flow generated by rental payments received from the individuals or businesses occupying the real estate. CRE loans are impacted by factors such as competitive market forces, vacancy rates, cap rates, net operating incomes, lease renewals and overall economic demand. In addition, loans in the recreational and tourism sector can be affected by weather conditions, such as unseasonably low winter snowfalls. CRE lending also carries a higher degree of environmental risk than other real estate lending. Municipal – Loans in this segment are made to local municipalities, attributable to municipal financing transactions and backed by the full faith and credit of town governments or dedicated governmental revenue sources, with no historical losses recognized by the Company. Qualitative factors are not utilized in the manual entry method for municipal loans. Residential Real Estate - 1 st Lien – Loans in this segment are collateralized by first mortgages on 1 – 4 family owner-occupied residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, has an impact on the credit quality of this segment. Residential Real Estate – Jr Lien – Loans in this segment are collateralized by junior lien mortgages on 1 – 4 family residential real estate and repayment is primarily dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, has an impact on the credit quality of this segment. Consumer – Loans in this segment are made to individuals for consumer and household purposes. This segment includes both loans secured by automobiles and other consumer goods, as well as loans that are unsecured. This segment also includes overdrafts, which are extensions of credit made to both individuals and businesses to cover temporary shortages in their deposit accounts and are generally unsecured. The Company maintains policies restricting the size and term of these extensions of credit. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates, has an impact on the credit quality of this segment. 23 Table of Contents Specific component Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are also not included in the collective evaluation. In general, loans individually evaluated for estimated credit losses include those (i) greater than $ 100,000 with a nonaccrual status or (ii) have other unique characteristics differing from the portfolio segment. Specific reserves are established when appropriate for such loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows of the loan. However, when management determines that foreclosure is probable or when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty at the reporting date and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. Modifications of Loans A loan is considered modified if, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Upon the Company's determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the ACL is adjusted by the same amount. The Company is deemed to have granted such a concession if it has modified a loan in any of the following ways: · Reduced accrued interest; · Reduced the original contractual interest rate to a rate that is below the current market rate for the borrower; · Converted a variable-rate loan to a fixed-rate loan; · Extended the term of the loan beyond an insignificant delay; · Deferred or forgiven principal in an amount greater than three months of payments; · Performed a refinancing and deferred or forgiven principal on the original loan; · Capitalized protective advance to pay delinquent real estate taxes; or · Capitalized delinquent accrued interest. An insignificant delay or insignificant shortfall in the number of payments typically would not require the loan to be accounted for as modified. However, pursuant to regulatory guidance, any payment delays longer than three months is generally not considered insignificant. Management’s assessment of whether a concession has been granted also takes into consideration payments expected to be received from third parties, including third-party guarantors, provided the third party has the ability to perform on the guarantee. The Company’s modified loans are principally a result of extending loan repayment terms to relieve cash flow difficulties. The Company has only, on a limited basis, reduced accrued interest or reduced interest rates for borrowers below the current market rate for the borrower. The Company has not generally forgiven principal within the terms of original restructurings, nor converted variable rate terms to fixed rate terms. However, the Company evaluates each potential loan modification on its own merits and does not foreclose the granting of any particular type of concession. In connection with modifications, the Company considers applicable regulatory guidance, including a 2023 Interagency Policy Statement on Prudent Commercial Real Estate Loan Accommodations and Workouts. The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans as of September 30, 2025, that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, by class and by type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers in financial distress as compared to the amortized cost basis of each class of financing receivable is also presented below. Total Class Term of Financing Extension Receivable Commercial & Industrial $ 17,988 0.01 % As of September 30, 2025, the Company was not committed to lend additional amounts to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty whose loans were previously modified. 24 Table of Contents The following table presents the financial effect of the loan modifications presented above to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Weighted- Average Term Extension (months) Commercial & Industrial 84 The Company closely monitors the performance of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that have been modified to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. The following table presents the performance of such loans that have been modified during the last twelve months. Past Due 30-89 Days 90 Days Current Past Due or More Commercial & Industrial $ 17,988 $ 0 $ 0 There were no loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified within the previous twelve months that had subsequently defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Loans are considered defaulted at 90 days past due. Allowance for Credit Losses on OBS Credit Exposures In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to extend credit, including commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded as loans when they are funded. The Company estimates expected credit losses on OBS credit exposures over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The ACL on OBS credit exposures is adjusted through credit loss expense. To appropriately measure expected credit losses, management disaggregates the loan portfolio into similar risk characteristics, identical to those determined for the loan portfolio. An estimated funding rate is then applied to the qualifying unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit using the Company's own historical experience to estimate the expected funded amount for each loan segment as of the reporting date. Once the expected funded amount for each loan segment is determined, the loss rate, which is the calculated expected loan loss as a percentage of the amortized cost basis for each loan segment, is applied to calculate the ACL on OBS credit exposures as of the reporting date. The ACL on OBS credit exposures is presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the ACL on OBS credit exposures totaled $ 683,068 and $ 703,975 , respectively. Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets As a result of a merger with LyndonBank on December 31, 2007, the Company recorded goodwill amounting to $ 11,574,269 . Goodwill is not amortizable and is not deductible for tax purposes. As of December 31, 2024, the most recent evaluation, management concluded that no impairment existed. Management evaluates its goodwill intangible for impairment at least annually, or more frequently as circumstances warrant. Note 7. Loan Servicing The following table shows the changes in the carrying amount of the MSRs, included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets, for the periods indicated: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Balance at beginning of year $ 704,488 MSRs capitalized 26,229 MSRs amortized ( 92,226 ) Balance at end of period $ 638,491 25 Table of Contents Year Ended December 31, 2024 Balance at beginning of year $ 787,013 MSRs capitalized 42,551 MSRs amortized ( 125,076 ) Balance at end of year $ 704,488 Note 8. Fair Value Certain assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value to provide additional insight into the Company’s quality of earnings and comprehensive income. The fair values of some of these assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis while others are measured on a non-recurring basis, with the determination based upon applicable existing accounting pronouncements. For example, securities AFS are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Other assets, such as MSRs, loans held-for-sale, individually analyzed loans with a related allowance that are collateral dependent, and OREO are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis using the lower of cost or market methodology to determine impairment of individual assets. The Company groups assets and liabilities which are recorded at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded, and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (with Level 1 considered highest and Level 3 considered lowest). A brief description of each level follows. Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government debt securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets. Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes MSRs, individually analyzed loans with a related allowance that are collateral dependent, loans held-for-sale, and OREO. Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value measurements: Debt Securities AFS: Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices for similar assets, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using matrix pricing models, or other model-based valuation techniques requiring observable inputs other than quoted prices such as yield curves, prepayment speeds and default rates, net of any related credit allowance. Level 1 securities would include U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets. Level 2 securities include federal agency securities, municipal securities and other asset-backed securities. Individually analyzed loans: Individually analyzed loans are reported based on one of three measures: the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; the loan’s observable market price; or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the fair value is less than an impaired loan’s recorded investment, an impairment loss is recognized as part of the ACL. Accordingly, certain individually analyzed loans may be subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Management has estimated the fair value of collateral-dependent loans using Level 2 inputs, such as the fair value of collateral based on independent third-party appraisals. Loans held-for-sale: The fair value of loans held-for-sale is based upon an actual purchase and sale agreement between the Company and an independent market participant. The sale is executed within a reasonable period following quarter-end at the stated fair value. MSRs: MSRs represent the value associated with servicing residential mortgage loans. Servicing assets and servicing liabilities are reported using the amortization method and compared to fair value for impairment. In evaluating the carrying values of MSRs, the Company obtains third party valuations based on loan level data including note rate, and the type and term of the underlying loans. The Company classifies MSRs as non-recurring Level 2. 26 Table of Contents Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at the dates presented, segregated by fair value hierarchy, are summarized below. There were no Level 3 assets or liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of the balance sheet dates presented, nor were there any transfers of assets between Levels during either of the periods presented for 2025 or 2024.

Individually analyzed loans measured at fair value only include those loans with a partial write-down or with a related specific ACL and are presented net of the specific allowances as disclosed in Note 5. Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at the dates presented, segregated by fair value hierarchy level, are summarized below. There were no Level 1 or Level 3 assets or liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis as of the balance sheet dates presented, nor were there any transfers of assets between levels during either of the periods presented for 2025 or 2024. September 30, December 31, Level 2 2025 2024 Assets: (market approach) Loans held-for-sale $ 1,269,208 $ 0 MSRs (1) 638,491 704,488 OREO 319,019 0 (1) Represents MSRs at lower of cost or fair value. FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether recognized in the balance sheet, if the fair values can be reasonably determined. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques using observable inputs when available. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company. 27 Table of Contents The estimated fair values of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit were immaterial as of the dates presented in the tables below.

Note 9. Legal Proceedings In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in litigation that is considered incidental to its business. Management does not expect that any such litigation will be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Note 10. Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated events and transactions through the date that the financial statements were issued for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements, as required by GAAP. On September 18, 2025, the Company’s Board declared a cash dividend of $ 0.25 per common share, payable November 1, 2025, to shareholders of record as of October 15, 2025. This dividend has been recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the declaration date, including shares issuable under the DRIP. 29 Table of Contents ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Period Ended September 30, 2025 The following discussion analyzes the consolidated financial condition of Community Bancorp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Community National Bank, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and its consolidated results of operations for the three-month and nine-month interim periods presented. The Company is considered a “smaller reporting company” and a “non-accelerated filer” under the disclosure rules of the SEC. Accordingly, the Company has elected to provide its statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for a two-year, rather than a three-year, period and provide certain other smaller reporting company scaled disclosures where management deems it appropriate. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in its 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Please refer to Note 1 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a listing of acronyms and defined terms used throughout the following discussion. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, regarding the results of operations, financial condition and business of the Company and its subsidiary. Words used in the discussion below such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "estimates," “projects”, "plans," “assumes”, "predicts," “may”, “might”, “will”, “could”, “should” and similar expressions, indicate that management of the Company is making forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They necessarily involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Examples of forward looking statements included in this discussion include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the estimated contingent liability related to assumptions made within the asset/liability management process; management's expectations as to the future interest rate environment and the Company's related liquidity level; credit risk expectations relating to the Company's loan portfolio and off-balance sheet commitments; and management's general outlook for the future performance of the Company and the local or national economy. Although forward-looking statements are based on management's expectations and estimates as of the date they are made, many of the factors that could influence or determine actual results are unpredictable and not within the Company's control. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements include, among others, the following possibilities: · interest rates change in such a way as to negatively affect loan demand, the local economy or the Company's net income, asset valuations or margins; · general economic or business conditions, either internationally (including due to changing tariff policies), nationally, regionally or locally, deteriorate, resulting in a decline in credit quality or a diminished demand for the Company's products and services; · the impact of inflation and the rate of economic growth on the Company’s customers and on its financial results and performance; · the effect of United States monetary and fiscal policies, including deficit spending and the interest rate policies of the FRB and its regulation of the money supply; · the impact on our customers of government shutdowns and federal, state and local budgetary cutbacks; · changes in applicable accounting policies, practices and standards; · the geographic concentration of the Company’s loan portfolio and deposit base; · reductions in deposit levels, which necessitate increased borrowings to fund loans and sale of investment securities; · increases in the level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs; · changes in federal or state tax laws or policy; · changes in laws or government rules, including the rules of the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or the way in which courts or government agencies interpret or implement those laws or rules, may increase our costs of doing business, causing us to limit or change our product offerings or pricing, or otherwise adversely affect the Company's business; · regulatory responses to high profile bank failures increase our costs of operation, including through regulatory compliance changes and higher FDIC deposit insurance assessments to replenish the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF); · competitive pressures increase among financial service providers in the Company's northern New England market area or in the financial services industry generally, including competitive pressures from non-bank lenders, payment systems and other financial service providers, from increasing consolidation and integration of financial service providers, and from changes in technology and delivery systems; 30 Table of Contents · cybersecurity risks, including risks to our vendors, could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial performance or reputation and could result in financial liability for losses incurred by customers or others due to data breaches or other compromise of the Company’s information security systems; · higher-than-expected costs are incurred relating to information technology or difficulties arise in implementing technological enhancements; · management’s risk management measures may not be completely effective; · changes in consumer and business spending, borrowing and savings habits; · operational and internal system failures due to changes in normal business practices, including remote working for Company staff; · increased cybercrime and payment system risk due to increased usage by customers of online, mobile and other remote banking channels; · the ongoing challenges to find qualified workers to maintain a stable workforce; · losses due to the fraudulent or negligent conduct of third parties, including the Company’s service providers, customers and employees; and · adverse changes in the credit rating of U.S. government debt. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements as they speak only as of the date they are made. The Company does not undertake, and disclaims any obligation, to revise or update any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence or anticipated occurrence of events or circumstances after the date of this Report, except as required by applicable law. The Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Under SEC Regulation G, public companies making disclosures containing financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the closest comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the company’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure. The SEC has exempted from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures certain commonly used financial measures that are not based on GAAP. However, three non-GAAP financial measures commonly used by financial institutions, namely tax-equivalent net interest income and tax-equivalent net interest margin (as presented in the tables in the section labeled Interest Income Versus Interest Expense (NII)) and core earnings (as defined and discussed in the Results of Operations section), have not been specifically exempted by the SEC, and may therefore constitute non-GAAP financial measures under Regulation G. We are unable to state with certainty whether the SEC would regard those measures as subject to Regulation G. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s financial performance and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. However, that information should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. OVERVIEW The Company’s consolidated assets as of September 30, 2025, were $1.23 billion compared to $1.25 billion as of December 31, 2024, a decrease of 1.8%. Changes in the asset base included an increase in loans of $33.9 million, however, there was a decrease in overnight deposits of $52 million, or 51.5%. The increase in the loan portfolio was primarily attributable to increases of $18.7 million in residential first and Jr. lien loans, $9.2 million in CRE loans, $3.0 million in municipal loans and $3.0 million in purchased loans. While cash funded the increase in the loan portfolio, the decrease in overnight deposits reflects decreases in deposit balances, payoff of borrowings that matured during the first quarter of 2025, as well as the purchase of approximately $30.0 million in brokered time deposits. Total deposits as of September 30, 2025, were $1.01 billion compared to $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2024, an increase of approximately $6.7 million, or 0.7%. Year to date, time deposits increased $32.4 million, or 17.3% and savings accounts increased $812 thousand, or 0.6%, while demand and interest-bearing transaction accounts collectively decreased $12.5 million, or 2.5%, and money market funds decreased $14.0 million, or 8.3%. Borrowed funds decreased $26.3 million, or 36.3%, from December 31, 2024, due primarily to maturities in the BTFP funds, partially offset by new FHLBB advances. Total interest income increased approximately $1.4 million, or 10.4%, for the third quarter of 2025, and $4.8 million, or 11.9%, for the first nine months of 2025, compared to the respective periods in 2024. The growth in the volume of the loan portfolio and origination of loans at higher interest rates, as well as adjustable-rate loans repricing to current market rates, helped to support the increase in interest income in both comparison periods. Total interest expense decreased $400 thousand, or 7.5%, for the third quarter of 2025, and increased $45 thousand, or 0.3%, for the first nine months of 2025, compared to the respective periods in 2024. While the rate environment continues to put pressure on the Company’s funding costs, including competitive deposit pricing, the year-over-year increase of $1.8 million, or 17.9%, in interest expense on the Company’s interest bearing deposit accounts was more than offset by a decrease of $1.9 million, or 56.2% in interest expense on borrowed funds due to the decrease in the average volume of borrowed funds. Please refer to the interest rate sensitivity discussion in the Interest Rate Risk and Asset and Liability Management section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis for more information on the impact that the actions of the FRB’s FOMC in regulating interest rates, and changes in the yield curve, could have on our net interest income. 31 Table of Contents The credit loss expense for the third quarter of 2025 was $258,753 compared to $460,745 for the same quarter of 2024 and $990,853 for the first nine months of 2025 compared to $1,105,906 for the same period in 2024, resulting in decreases between periods of $201,992, or 43.8% and $115,053, or 10.4%, respectively. In determining the current period credit loss expense management considers a number of factors, including loan growth and changes in balances of the loan categories within the current portfolio, changes in forecasts, historical loss rates and various qualitative factors, which management reviews and adjusts, as appropriate, in its ACL calculation to better reflect expected credit losses in the loan portfolio. Please refer to Note 5 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements as well as the ACL and credit loss expense discussion in the Credit Risk section of this MD&A. Consolidated net income for the third quarter of 2025 increased $1.6 million, or 52.4%, to $4.7 million compared to $3.1 million for the same quarter of 2024, and increased $3.7 million, or 42.3%, to $12.3 million for the first nine months of 2025 compared to $8.7 million for the same period in 2024. The increases in net interest income after credit loss expense of $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2025 and $4.8 million for the first nine months of 2025, compared to the respective periods in 2024, were significant contributing factors to the increases in net income. This change, along with significant changes in non-interest income and non-interest expense, are discussed in the appropriate sections of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Equity capital increased to $111.9 million, with a book value per share of $19.64 as of September 30, 2025, compared to $98.0 million and a book value per share of $17.24 as of December 31, 2024. Please refer to the section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis titled “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” for a discussion in of the changes in the Company’s equity capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. On September 18, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share, payable on November 1, 2025, to shareholders of record on October 15, 2025, an increase of 4% from the previous quarterly cash dividend and the fourth annual increase since 2020. As described in more detail below under “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” as of September 30, 2025, the Company’s capital ratios, and those of our subsidiary Bank, were in excess of applicable regulatory requirements. Effective July 31, 2025, the Company’s affiliate, CFS Partners, redeemed the one third limited liability company membership and distributional interests of Guaranty Bancorp, Inc. (“Guaranty”), immediately prior to consummation of Guaranty’s merger with and into Bar Harbor Bankshares. Under the terms of the redemption agreement, beginning March 1, 2025, Guaranty Bancorp agreed to forego its distributional interest in CFS Partners through the closing date of the redemption. Accordingly, beginning March 1, 2025, the Company’s share of the profit and loss from the operations of CFS Partners’ sole subsidiary, CFSG, increased from one-third to 50%, and effective on July 31, 2025, the Company’s non-economic membership (governance) interest in CFS Partners likewise increased to 50%. The Company does not have a controlling interest in CFS Partners and will continue to account for its investment using the equity method. Given the Company’s northern Vermont market area, management is assessing the potential risk to the local economy from recent trade policy developments between the United States and Canada. Canada is Vermont’s largest international trading partner; many businesses that rely on trade with Canada are now at risk of experiencing increased costs, reduced sales, and a sense of uncertainty about the future. Although management continues to evaluate the potential impact on the Company’s customers, trade negotiations are on-going, and the ultimate effect on these businesses remains uncertain. In light of these challenges, the Company’s own strategic focus will be to safeguard its balance sheet while supporting its customers and communities. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared according to U.S. GAAP. The preparation of such financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the Company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often because of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Because of the significance of these estimates and assumptions, there is a high likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported for the Company under different conditions or using different assumptions or estimates. Management evaluates on an ongoing basis its judgment as to which policies are considered to be critical and communicates all evaluations with the Company’s Audit Committee. 32 Table of Contents The Company’s critical accounting policies govern: · the ACL; · OREO; · valuation of residential MSRs; and · the carrying value of goodwill. These policies are described in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” and in Note 1 (Significant Accounting Policies) to the audited consolidated financial statements. Aside from adjustments in qualitative factors and other economic indicators in the calculation of the ACL, there were no material changes during the first nine months of 2025 in the Company’s critical accounting policies. ACL - Management believes that the calculation of the ACL is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. In estimating the ACL, management has adopted a methodology consistent with ASU No. 2016-13 that requires that expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date that are accounted for at amortized cost be measured and recognized based on historical experience and current and reasonably supportable forecasted conditions to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses over the life of the loans at the measurement date. Further consideration is given to qualitative factors, including changes in current economic indicators and their probable impact on borrowers and collateral, trends in delinquent and non-performing loans, trends in criticized and classified assets, levels of exceptions, the impact of competition in the market, concentrations of credit risk in a variety of areas, including portfolio product mix, the level of loans to individual borrowers and their related interests, loans to industry segments and the geographic distribution of CRE loans. Management’s estimates used in calculating the ACL may increase or decrease based on changes in these factors, which in turn will affect the amount of the Company’s provision for credit losses charged against current period income. This evaluation is inherently subjective and actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions. The Company estimates expected credit losses on OBS credit exposures over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The ACL on OBS credit exposures is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet within Accrued interest and other liabilities, with adjustments made through credit loss expense. A modified version of these requirements applies to debt securities classified as available-for-sale, which eliminates OTTI impairment analysis and requires that if a decline in the fair value of debt securities AFS is deemed by management to be the result of credit losses rather than other factors, the credit losses on those securities is recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than a write-down of the security. The Company’s securities portfolio is evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company’s net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $4.7 million, or $0.84 per common share, compared to $3.1 million, or $0.55 per common share for the same quarter of 2024, and for the first nine months of 2025 was $12.3 million, or $2.18 per common share, compared to $8.7 million, or $1.55 per common share, for the same period in 2024. Core earnings (NII) were $10.5 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $8.7 million for the same period of 2024 and $29.8 million for the first nine months of 2025, compared to $25.1 million for the same period in 2024. Interest and fees on loans, the major component of interest income, increased $1.5 million, or 11.5% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 and increased $4.6 million, or 12.7% for the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Interest paid on deposits, which is the major component of total interest expense, increased $89 thousand, or 2.4% for the third quarter of 2025 and increased $1.8 million, or 17.9% for the first nine months of 2025, compared to the respective periods in 2024, driven primarily by increased deposit balances. Interest on borrowed funds decreased $496 thousand, or 42.8%, for the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter of 2024 and decreased $1.9 million, or 56.2%, for the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in the average volume of borrowed funds in both comparison periods. Market pressure on deposit rates has stabilized and a decrease in wholesale funding has resulted in an improved net interest margin and net interest spread. Return on average assets, which is net income divided by average total assets, measures how effectively a corporation uses its assets to produce earnings. Return on average equity, which is net income divided by average shareholders' equity, measures how effectively a corporation uses its equity capital to produce earnings. 33 Table of Contents The following table shows these ratios annualized, as well as other equity ratios monitored by management, for the comparison periods presented. Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Return on average assets 1.58 % 1.09 % Return on average equity 17.40 % 13.09 % Dividend payout ratio (1) 29.76 % 43.64 % Average equity to average assets 9.10 % 8.35 % Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Return on average assets 1.39 % 1.04 % Return on average equity 15.92 % 12.71 % Dividend payout ratio (1) 33.49 % 45.16 % Average equity to average assets 8.72 % 8.16 % (1) Dividends declared per common share divided by earnings per common share. INTEREST INCOME VERSUS INTEREST EXPENSE (NII) The largest component of the Company’s operating income is NII, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and the interest paid on deposits and other sources of funds (i.e., borrowings). The Company’s level of net interest income can fluctuate over time due to changes in the level and mix of earning assets and sources of funds (volume), and changes in the yield earned and costs of funds (rate). A portion of the Company’s income from loans to local municipalities and from tax-exempt municipal investment securities is not subject to income taxes. Because the proportion of tax-exempt items in the Company's balance sheet varies from year-to-year, to improve comparability of information, the non-taxable income shown in the tables below has been converted to a tax equivalent basis. The Company’s corporate tax rate is 21%; therefore, to equalize tax-free and taxable income in the comparison, we divide the tax-free income by 79%, with the result that every tax-free dollar is equivalent to $1.27 in taxable income for the periods presented. The Company’s tax-exempt interest income of $746,706 and $762,126 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $2.4 million and $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was derived from loans to local municipalities of $70.1 million and $65.5 million, and tax-exempt municipal investment securities of $10.1 million and $10.5 million, as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The following table shows the reconciliation between reported NII and tax equivalent NII for the comparison periods presented.

CFSG’s income is derived primarily from asset-based fees on managed accounts and in addition, CFS Partners has a small portion of its equity capital invested in the stock market, with performance generally reflecting stock market conditions. 39 Table of Contents Non-interest Expense The components of non-interest expense for the periods presented were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, Change September 30, Change 2025 2024 Expense Percent 2025 2024 Expense Percent Salaries and wages $ 2,432,661 $ 2,358,000 $ 74,661 3.17 % $ 7,145,388 $ 7,104,000 $ 41,388 0.58 % Employee benefits 959,918 986,804 (26,886 ) -2.72 % 3,034,163 2,840,194 193,969 6.83 % Occupancy expenses, net 748,354 683,980 64,374 9.41 % 2,324,661 2,100,714 223,947 10.66 % Other expenses Directors fees 147,867 119,905 27,962 23.32 % 457,153 413,201 43,952 10.64 % Charged-off checks 12,661 38,723 (26,062 ) -67.30 % (32,289 ) 41,576 (73,865 ) -177.66 % Outsourcing expense 89,642 153,991 (64,349 ) -41.79 % 277,514 431,341 (153,827 ) -35.66 % Service contracts - administrative 244,133 285,559 (41,426 ) -14.51 % 650,464 594,048 56,416 9.50 % Audit fees 147,489 123,941 23,548 19.00 % 431,117 369,550 61,567 16.66 % Consultant services 90,987 56,002 34,985 62.47 % 273,977 195,814 78,163 39.92 % FDIC insurance 146,042 208,736 (62,694 ) -30.04 % 490,716 465,079 25,637 5.51 % Collection & non-accruing loan expense 23,293 206,275 (182,982 ) -88.71 % 30,293 242,275 (211,982 ) -87.50 % ATM & debit card expense 204,793 214,705 (9,912 ) -4.62 % 579,559 526,175 53,384 10.15 % State deposit tax 276,745 252,199 24,546 9.73 % 811,086 766,027 45,059 5.88 % Other miscellaneous expenses 1,068,913 819,838 249,075 30.38 % 3,290,707 2,990,380 300,327 10.04 % Total non-interest expense $ 6,593,498 $ 6,508,658 $ 84,840 1.30 % $ 19,764,509 $ 19,080,374 $ 684,135 3.59 % Total non-interest expense increased $84,840, or 1.3%, and $684,135 or 3.6%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024, with significant changes noted in the following: · The increases in salaries and wages during the three- and nine- month periods of 2025 reflect normal salary increases and remain in line with budget. · The decrease in employee benefits in the three-month period is attributable to a decrease in health insurance claims anticipated as well as run out of claims with the prior health insurance plan. An increase for the nine-month period is due to a change in the Company’s self-insured health insurance plan and the associated termination fees attributed to the change. · The increase in occupancy expense year over year is primarily due to normal increases in contracted services, including increased expenses for plowing and sanding during the winter months as well as increases in maintenance on buildings. · The increase in directors fees in both periods is attributable to a new director in 2025 as well as an increase in the amount paid to directors compared to 2024. · The Company received a recovery for a $53 thousand fraudulent check during the first quarter of 2025 that was charged off in 2024, accounting for most of the decrease in charged-off checks year over year. · The decrease in outsourcing expense is attributable to a renegotiated contract from the Company’s core processing provider. · The year over year increase in service contracts - administrative is due to a combination of new contracts, an increase in transaction-based pricing for certain contracts, and contractual inflationary adjustment factors that are higher than historical increase adjustments. The quarter over quarter decrease is due to the timing of credits from a vendor to correct prior year invoices. · The increase in audit fees is attributable to an increase in the scope of audits performed in 2025 which was anticipated and budgeted accordingly. · The increase in FDIC insurance year over year is attributable to an increase in the assessment multiplier. 40 Table of Contents · The increase in consultant services is attributable to an increased utilization of these services for branch network and technology projects during 2025. · Collection & non-accruing loan expenses were lower year over year due to the recovery of expenses associated with properties in foreclosure that were resolved. · ATM & debit card expenses are transaction-based and reflect increased customer activity year over year, as well as annual contractual price adjustments. · The increase in state deposit tax is attributable to an increase in average deposits which is used in the calculation of taxes due. APPLICABLE INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes increased $422,063, or 72.2%, for the third quarter of 2025 and $806,607 or 48.0%, for the first nine months of 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024, which is consistent with the increase in income before income taxes. Tax credits, which consist of credits from affordable housing investments and NMTC, amounted to $249,612 and $174,612, for the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, and $748,836 and $523,836, respectively, for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024. The Company’s investment in a project during the last quarter of 2024 generated NMTC for that quarter and for the nine months of 2025, accounting for the increase in tax credits between comparison periods. Amortization expense related to the affordable housing investments and NMTC is included as a component of income tax expense and amounted to $148,890 and $149,202, for the third quarter of 2025 and 2024 and $446,670 and $447,606, respectively, for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024. These investments provide tax benefits, including tax credits, and are designed to provide a targeted effective annual yield between 5% and 7%. CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION The following table reflects the composition of the Company's major categories of assets and liabilities as a percentage of total assets or liabilities and shareholders’ equity, as of the balance sheet dates: September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 Assets Loans $ 961,882,509 78.45 % $ 927,940,805 74.30 % AFS securities 152,248,319 12.42 % 159,697,420 12.79 % Liabilities Demand deposits 205,211,509 16.74 % 197,697,470 15.83 % Interest-bearing transaction accounts 284,204,977 23.18 % 304,212,085 24.36 % Money market funds 155,502,114 12.68 % 169,533,067 13.57 % Savings deposits 143,737,440 11.72 % 142,925,828 11.44 % Time deposits 219,644,123 17.91 % 187,276,308 14.99 % Short-term advances 10,000,000 0.82 % 0 0.00 % Long-term advances 36,275,022 2.96 % 72,600,000 5.81 % The following table reflects the changes in the composition of the Company's major categories of assets and liabilities between the balance sheet dates, as disclosed in the table above: Volume Change Percentage Assets Loans $ 33,941,704 3.66 % AFS securities (7,449,101 ) -4.66 % Liabilities Demand deposits 7,514,039 3.80 % Interest-bearing transaction accounts (20,007,108 ) -6.58 % Money market funds (14,030,953 ) -8.28 % Savings deposits 811,612 0.57 % Time deposits 32,367,815 17.28 % Short-term advances 10,000,000 100.00 % Long-term advances (36,324,978 ) -50.03 % 41 Table of Contents The increase in the loan portfolio during the first nine months of 2025 was primarily attributable to increases in CRE loans, residential real estate 1 st lien loans, residential junior lien loans as well as purchased loans. The decrease in the securities AFS portfolio at September 30, 2025 is attributable to the combined effect during the first nine months of the year of purchases totaling $18.1 million and a decrease of $6.6 million in unrealized losses reflected in OCI, which was more than offset by maturities of $16.5 million and principal payments on MBS, ABS and CMO investments totaling $15.0 million. In management’s view, the size of the AFS securities portfolio is appropriate and proportional to the overall asset base, as this portfolio serves a significant role in the Company’s liquidity position. The decrease in interest-bearing transactions accounts at September 30, 2025 from year end 2024 is attributable to a decrease of $10.1 million, or 22.7% in a CFSG deposit account, and a decrease of $13.7 million or 12.5%, in ICS accounts. The decrease in money market accounts was primarily driven by a decrease of $26.3 million, or 59.2% in ICS accounts. The increase in time deposits is attributable to an increase in brokered time deposits. In addition to the brokered time deposits, the Company used overnight deposits to cover maturities in borrowed funds during the first nine months of 2025 and used those funds to cover fluctuations in aggregate deposits during the same period, enabling the Company to rely less on other sources of funding. Uninsured Deposits Estimated deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance level amounted to $262.7 million as of September 30, 2025 and $258.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The estimated balance of $43.1 million of uninsured time deposits as of September 30, 2025 was made up of time CDs of $39.6 million and retirement accounts of $3.5 million. Increments of maturity of these time deposits are summarized as follows: 3 months or less $ 22,841,984 Over 3 through 6 months 15,035,068 Over 6 through 12 months 5,187,149 Total $ 43,064,201 Interest Rate Risk and Asset and Liability Management - Management actively monitors and manages the Company’s interest rate risk exposure and attempts to structure the balance sheet to maximize net interest income while controlling its exposure to interest rate risk. The Company's ALCO is made up of the Executive Officers and certain Vice Presidents of the Bank representing major business lines. The ALCO formulates strategies to manage interest rate risk by evaluating the impact on earnings and capital of such factors as current interest rate forecasts and economic indicators, potential changes in such forecasts and indicators, liquidity and various business strategies. The ALCO meets at least quarterly to review financial statements, liquidity levels, yields and spreads to better understand, measure, monitor and control the Company’s interest rate risk. In the ALCO process, the committee members apply policy limits set forth in the Asset Liability, Liquidity and Investment policies approved and periodically reviewed by the Company’s Board of Directors (together the ”ALCO Policy”). The ALCO's methods for evaluating interest rate risk include an analysis of the effects of interest rate changes on net interest income and an analysis of the Company's interest rate sensitivity "gap", which provides a static analysis of the maturity and repricing characteristics of the entire balance sheet. The ALCO Policy also includes a contingency funding plan to help management prepare for unforeseen liquidity restrictions, including hypothetical severe liquidity crises. Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with the Company’s financial instruments also change, thereby impacting NII, the primary component of the Company’s earnings. Fluctuations in interest rates can also have an impact on liquidity. The ALCO uses an outside consultant to perform rate shock simulations to the Company's net interest income, as well as a variety of other analyses. It is ALCO’s function to provide the assumptions used in the modeling process. Assumptions used in prior period simulation models are regularly tested by comparing projected NII with actual NII. The ALCO utilizes the results of the simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of NII and liquidity to sustain interest rate changes. The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reflected on the Company’s balance sheet. The model also simulates the balance sheet’s sensitivity to a prolonged flat rate environment. All rate scenarios are simulated, assuming a parallel shift of the yield curve; however further simulations are performed utilizing non-parallel changes in the yield curve, including an inverted yield curve. The results of this sensitivity analysis are compared to the ALCO policy limits which specify a maximum tolerance level for NII exposure over a 1-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 bp shift upward and a 100 bp shift downward in interest rates. Under the Company’s interest rate sensitivity modeling, in a rising rate environment NII initially trends upward as the short-term asset base (cash and adjustable-rate loans) quickly cycles upward while the retail funding base (deposits) lags the market. If rates paid on deposits must be increased more and/or more quickly than projected due to competitive pressures, the expected benefit of rising rates would be reduced. In a falling rate environment, NII is expected to trend slightly downward compared with the current rate environment scenario for the first year of the simulation as asset yield erosion is not fully offset by decreasing funding costs. Thereafter, net interest income is projected to experience sustained downward pressure as funding costs reach their assumed floors and asset yields continue to reprice into the lower rate environment. 42 Table of Contents The following table summarizes the estimated impact on the Company's NII over a twelve-month period, assuming a gradual parallel shift of the yield curve beginning September 30, 2025: Rate Change Percent Change in NII Down 100 bps -0.5 % Up 200 bps -1.6 % The estimated amounts shown in the table above are within the ALCO Policy limits. However, those amounts do not represent a forecast and should not be relied upon as indicative of future results. The ALCO model also provides alternate scenarios including a sustained flat, or inverted yield curve. While assumptions used in the ALCO process, including the interest rate simulation analyses, are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, and expected future conditions, the Company cannot provide any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $12,887,000 in principal amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures due December 15, 2037, which bear interest at a quarterly floating rate equal to 3-month CME SOFR, as adjusted by a spread adjustment factor of 0.26161, plus 2.85%. The quarterly floating rate in effect on the debentures was 7.43% for the September 2025 payment, compared to a floating rate of 8.45% for the September 2024 payment. Credit Risk - As a financial institution, one of the primary risks the Company manages is credit risk, the risk of loss stemming from borrowers’ failure to repay loans or inability to meet other contractual obligations. The Company’s Board of Directors prescribes policies for managing credit risk, including Loan, Appraisal and Environmental policies. These policies are supplemented by comprehensive underwriting standards and procedures. The Company maintains a Credit Administration department whose function includes credit analysis and monitoring of and reporting on the status of the loan portfolio, including delinquent and non-performing loan trends. The Company also monitors concentration of credit risk in a variety of areas, including portfolio mix, the level of loans to individual borrowers and their related interests, loans to industry segments, and the geographic distribution of commercial real estate loans. Loans are reviewed periodically by an independent loan review firm to help ensure accuracy of the Company's internal risk ratings and compliance with various internal policies, procedures and regulatory guidance. Residential mortgage loans represented 28.3% of the Company’s loan balances as of September 30, 2025, compared to 27.4% as of December 31, 2024. The Company maintains a residential mortgage loan portfolio of traditional mortgage products and does not offer higher risk loan products, such as option adjustable-rate mortgage products, high loan-to-value products, interest only mortgages, subprime loans and products with deeply discounted teaser rates. Residential mortgages with loan-to-value ratios exceeding 80% are generally covered by PMI. A 90% loan-to-value residential mortgage product without PMI is only available to borrowers with excellent credit and low debt-to-income ratios and has not been widely originated. As of September 30, 2025, junior lien home equity products made up 15.7% of the residential mortgage portfolio with maximum loan-to-value ratios (including prior liens) of 80%. The Company also originates some home equity loans with loan-to-value ratios greater than 80% under an insured loan program with stringent underwriting criteria. 43 Table of Contents The following tables show the estimated maturities within the Company’s loan portfolio as of September 30, 2025.

The Company experienced solid growth in the CRE loan portfolios, which is consistent with its strategic focus on commercial lending. Commercial & industrial, purchased, CRE and municipal loans collectively comprised 71.4% of the Company’s loan portfolio as of September 30, 2025, compared to 72.3% as of December 31, 2024. The largest components of the CRE portfolio were $131.5 million in owner-occupied CRE and $165.8 million in non-owner occupied CRE as of September 30, 2025, compared to $125.5 million and $154.6 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. Risk in the Company’s commercial & industrial and CRE loan portfolios is mitigated in part by government guarantees issued by federal agencies such as the SBA and RD. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $29.0 million in guaranteed loans with guaranteed balances of $19.8 million, compared to $25.5 million in guaranteed loans with guaranteed balances of $17.2 million as of December 31, 2024. PPP loans with outstanding balances of $15 thousand as of September 30, 2025, and $43 thousand as of December 31, 2024, are included in these totals, all of which carry a 100% guarantee through the SBA, subject to borrower eligibility requirements. The Company works actively with customers early in the delinquency process to help them to avoid default and foreclosure. Commercial & industrial and CRE loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is deterioration in the financial position of the borrower, payment in full of principal and interest is not expected, and/or principal or interest has been in default for 90 days or more. However, such a loan need not be placed on non-accrual status if it is both well secured and in the process of collection. Residential mortgages and home equity loans are considered for non-accrual status at 90 days past due and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The Company obtains current property appraisals or market value analyses and considers the cost to carry and sell collateral to assess the level of specific allocations required. Consumer loans are generally not placed in non-accrual but are charged off by the time they reach 120 days past due. When a loan is placed in non-accrual status, the Company reverses the accrued interest against current period income and discontinues the accrual of interest until the borrower clearly demonstrates the ability and intention to resume normal payments, typically demonstrated by regular timely payments for a period of not less than six months. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans are generally applied as a reduction of the loan book balance. 44 Table of Contents Credit loss expense The credit loss expense was made up of the following components for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended September 30, Change 2025 2024 $ % Credit loss expense - loans $ 198,264 $ 406,955 $ (208,691 ) -51.28 % Credit loss expense - OBS credit exposure 60,489 53,790 6,699 12.45 % Credit loss expense $ 258,753 $ 460,745 $ (201,992) -43.84 % Nine Months Ended September 30, Change 2025 2024 $ % Credit loss expense - loans $ 1,011,761 $ 1,076,676 $ (64,915 ) -6.03 % Credit loss (reversal) expense - OBS credit exposure (20,908 ) 29,230 (50,138 ) -171.53 % Credit loss expense $ 990,853 $ 1,105,906 $ (115,053) -10.40 % The decrease in the credit loss expense on loans in both periods of 2025 compared to the same periods of 2024, was due in part to changes in the economic forecast, prepayments speeds, loan curtailments and adjustments to certain qualitative factors used in the model, despite the increase in the volume of the loan portfolio. The increase in the OBS credit exposure for the three months ended September 30, 2025 is attributable to an increase in unfunded loan commitments under contract and the decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is attributable to a decrease in unfunded commitments. ACL and provisions –The Company’s ACL policy provides guidance in maintaining an adequate methodology for establishing, estimating, and maintaining allowances for credit losses under ASC 326. The policy creates a measurement model to establish a proper ACL based on current expected credit losses rather than losses incurred. The Company maintains an ACL at a level that management believes is appropriate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the measurement date (See Note 5 of the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements). Although the Company, in establishing the ACL, considers the expected inherent losses in individual loans and pools of loans, the ACL is a general reserve available to absorb all credit losses in the loan portfolio. No part of the ACL is segregated to absorb losses from any loan or segment of loans. When establishing the ACL each quarter, the Company applies a combination of significant key assumptions and methodologies, as discussed in the ACL section under Critical Accounting Policies in this MD&A and presented in Note 5 of the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes the Company’s credit risk ratios for the balance sheet dates presented: September 30, December 31, 2025 2024 ACL to total loans outstanding 1.12 % 1.06 % ACL $ 10,769,269 $ 9,810,212 Loans outstanding $ 961,882,509 $ 927,940,805 Non-accruing loans to loans outstanding 0.84 % 0.90 % Non-accruing loans $ 8,108,381 $ 8,338,166 Loans outstanding $ 961,882,509 $ 927,940,805 ACL to non-accruing loans 132.82 % 117.65 % ACL $ 10,769,269 $ 9,810,212 Non-accruing loans $ 8,108,381 $ 8,338,166 45 Table of Contents The following table shows the breakdown of the ACL by loan segment and the percentage of loans in each category to total loans in the respective portfolios at the date indicated: September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 Amount Percent Amount Percent Commercial & industrial $ 651,809 12.91 % $ 727,488 13.37 % Purchased 32,996 1.12 % 22,415 0.84 % Commercial real estate 6,783,066 50.04 % 6,487,700 50.88 % Municipal 175,225 7.29 % 167,719 7.23 % Residential real estate - 1st lien 2,634,295 23.88 % 2,087,034 23.50 % Residential real estate - Jr lien 467,109 4.45 % 291,239 3.85 % Consumer 24,769 0.31 % 26,617 0.33 % Total $ 10,769,269 100.00 % $ 9,810,212 100.00 % The third quarter ACL analysis indicated that the reserve balance of $10.8 million as of September 30, 2025, was sufficient to cover expected credit losses that are probable and estimable as of the measurement date. As discussed in Note 5 of the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, included in the ACL calculation for the third quarter of 2025 are adjustments to certain qualitative factors made by management, including an increase in the risk status of the qualitative factors for external factors in the purchased loan and residential Jr. lien segments to reflect uncertainty regarding the impact of the government shutdown as well as an increase in the risk status of volume and terms in the residential Jr. lien segment to reflect the increase in volume of these loans. Management believes that the quantitative calculation adequately captures the risk in these areas, and that the reserve balance continues to be directionally consistent with the overall risk profile of the Company’s loan portfolio and credit risk appetite. While the ACL is described as consisting of separate allocated portions, the entire ACL is available to support loan losses, regardless of category. Management’s assessment of the adequacy of the ACL is presented to the full Board for approval quarterly. 46 Table of Contents Net charge-offs during the periods presented to average loans outstanding were as follows: For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 2024 Commercial & industrial 0.00 % -0.95 % Net recoveries (charge-offs) during the period $ 5,394 $ (1,203,641 ) Average amount outstanding $ 124,424,612 $ 126,240,870 Purchased 0.00 % 0.00 % Net charge-offs during the period $ 0 $ 0 Average amount outstanding $ 10,039,836 $ 9,521,419 Commercial real estate 0.00 % -0.03 % Net charge-offs during the period $ 0 $ (126,393 ) Average amount outstanding $ 482,707,363 $ 433,341,367 Municipal 0.00 % 0.00 % Net charge-offs during the period $ 0 $ 0 Average amount outstanding $ 67,278,699 $ 59,218,512 Residential real estate - 1st lien 0.00 % 0.00 % Net charge-offs during the period $ (10,306 ) $ 0 Average amount outstanding $ 224,999,628 $ 210,534,364 Residential real estate - Jr lien 0.00 % 0.05 % Net recoveries during the period $ 0 $ 15,537 Average amount outstanding $ 37,667,988 $ 31,908,746 Consumer -1.78 % -2.02 % Net charge-offs during the period $ (47,792 ) $ (64,452 ) Average amount outstanding $ 2,677,769 $ 3,192,650 Total loans -0.01 % -0.16 % Net charge-offs during the period $ (52,704 ) $ (1,378,949 ) Average amount outstanding $ 949,795,895 $ 873,957,928 In addition to credit risk in the Company’s loan and investment portfolios and its off-balance sheet commitments, and liquidity risk in its loan and deposit-taking operations, the Company’s business activities also generate market risk. Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. Declining capital markets and changes in interest rates can result in fair value adjustments to asset valuations or the need to create a related reserve or allowance. The Company does not have any market risk sensitive instruments acquired for trading purposes. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending, deposit taking and investment activities. During recessionary periods, a declining housing market can result in an increase in loan loss reserves or ultimately an increase in foreclosures and credit-related losses. Interest rate risk is directly related to the different maturities and repricing characteristics of interest-bearing assets and liabilities, as well as to loan prepayment risks, early withdrawal of time deposits, and the fact that the speed and magnitude of responses to interest rate changes vary by product. Rapid changes in prevailing interest rates, particularly after a long period of relative stability, create a challenging interest rate environment. As discussed above under "Interest Rate Risk and Asset and Liability Management", the Company actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk through the ALCO process. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS The Company is a party to financial instruments with OBS risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and risk-sharing commitments on certain sold loans. Such instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk more than the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. During the first nine months of 2025, the Company did not engage in any activity that created any additional types of OBS risk. 47 Table of Contents LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Managing liquidity risk is essential to maintaining both depositor confidence and stability in earnings. Liquidity management refers to the ability of the Company to adequately cover fluctuations in assets and liabilities. Meeting loan demand (assets) and covering the withdrawal of deposit funds (liabilities) are two key components of the liquidity management process. The Company’s principal sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and securities, maturities of investment securities, sales of loans available-for-sale, and earnings and funds provided from operations. These sources are supplemented by short-term and long-term borrowings as needed. Maintaining a relatively stable funding base, which is achieved by diversifying funding sources, competitively pricing deposit products, and extending the contractual maturity of liabilities, reduces the Company’s exposure to rollover risk on deposits and limits reliance on volatile short-term borrowed funds. Short-term funding needs arise from declines in deposits or other funding sources and from funding requirements for loan commitments. The Company’s strategy is to fund assets to the maximum extent possible with core deposits that provide a sizable source of relatively stable and lower-cost funds. The Company recognizes that, at times, when loan demand exceeds deposit growth or the Company has other liquidity demands, or when the Company experiences deposit outflows; it may be desirable to utilize alternative sources of deposit funding to augment retail deposits and borrowings. One-way deposits acquired through the CDARS and/or ICS programs provide an alternative funding source when needed. As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had $0 and $236 thousand in one-way CDARS deposits, and no one-way ICS deposits outstanding at either period end. In addition, two-way (reciprocal) CDARS deposits, as well as reciprocal ICS money market and demand deposits, enhance the Company’s ability to retain larger deposit balances by allowing the Company to provide FDIC deposit insurance to its customers in excess of account coverage limits through the exchange of deposits with other participating FDIC-insured financial institutions. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company reported $4.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in reciprocal CDARS deposits. The balance in ICS reciprocal money market deposits was $18.1 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $44.4 million as of December 31, 2024, and the balance in ICS reciprocal demand deposits as of those dates was $95.8 million and $109.5 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company had brokered deposits from other sources totaling approximately $36.6 million as of September 30, 2025 and $13.8 million as of December 31, 2024. These relationships have provided convenient and timely access to short-term funding that is easily accessible without any detrimental effect on the pricing of the core deposit base. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, borrowing capacity of $136.5 million and $108.7 million respectively, was available through the FHLBB, secured by the Company's qualifying loan portfolio (generally, residential mortgage and commercial loans), reduced by outstanding advances of $46.3 million and $31.1 million, respectively. The following table reflects the Company’s outstanding advances with FHLBB as of the dates indicated: September 30, December 31, 2025 2024 FHLBB Short-Term Advances FHLBB term advance, 4.49%, due November 21, 2025 $ 10,000,000 $ 0 FHLBB Long-Term Advances FHLBB term advance, 0.00%, due November 12, 2025 (1) 300,000 300,000 FHLBB term advance, 0.00%, due November 13, 2028 (1) 800,000 800,000 FHLBB option advance, 4.54%, due May 15, 2026 10,000,000 10,000,000 FHLBB option advance, 4.74%, due May 26, 2026 5,000,000 5,000,000 FHLBB option advance, 3.89%, due February 01, 2027 0 5,000,000 FHLBB option advance, 4.27%, due June 07, 2027 10,000,000 10,000,000 FHLBB option advance, 3.66%, due March 26, 2027 5,000,000 0 FHLBB option advance, 3.51%, due March 27, 2028 5,000,000 0 FHLB term advance, 0.00%, due September 24, 2030 175,022 0 Total Long-Term Advances 36,275,022 31,100,000 Total Advances $ 46,275,022 $ 31,100,000 (1) Under the JNE program, the FHLBB provides a subsidy, funded by the FHLBB’s earnings, to write down interest rates to zero percent on advances that finance qualifying loans to small businesses. JNE advances must support small business in New England that create and/or retain jobs or otherwise contribute to overall economic development activities. 48 Table of Contents The Company utilized borrowing capacity during 2023 and the first quarter of 2024 under the BTFP, a temporary loan facility established by the FRB in March 2023 to provide additional liquidity to financial institutions in the wake of several high-profile bank failures. The Company’s BTFP borrowings are collateralized by U.S. Agency and U.S. Government Securities, valued at par. The BTFP ceased extending new loans on March 11, 2024. The BTFP loans matured and were repaid during the first quarter of 2025. The Company’s advances under the BTFP as of the balance sheet dates were as follows: September 30, December 31, 2025 2024 FRB BTFP term advance, 4.83%, due January 17, 2025 $ 0 $ 41,500,000 The Company also has an unsecured Federal Funds credit line with the FHLBB with an available balance of $500,000 with no outstanding advances during either of the respective comparison periods. Interest is chargeable at a rate determined daily, approximately 25 bps higher than the rate paid on federal funds sold. The Company has a BIC arrangement with the FRBB secured by eligible commercial & industrial loans, CRE loans and home equity loans, resulting in an available credit line of $63.2 million and $60.8 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024. Credit advances under this FRBB lending program are overnight advances with interest chargeable at the primary credit rate (generally referred to as the discount rate), currently 425 bps. The Company had no outstanding advances through this facility as of September 30, 2025, or December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had an unsecured line of credit of $12.5 million with a correspondent bank. The Company had no outstanding advances against this credit line as of the balance sheet dates. Management believes that the combination of high levels of potentially liquid assets, unencumbered securities, cash flows from operations, and additional borrowing capacity are sufficient to meet the Company’s liquidity and capital needs. The primary objective of the Company’s capital planning process is to balance appropriately the retention of capital to support operations and future growth, with the goal of providing shareholders with an attractive return on their investment, while at the same time satisfying all regulatory capital requirements. To that end, management strives to deploy capital efficiently and monitors capital retention and dividend policies on an ongoing basis. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company adopted a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 275,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 5% of the outstanding common shares. Purchases under the program may be on such terms, including price, as market conditions warrant, and may be made through open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions, as Management deems appropriate. The repurchase authorization expires in July, 2029 unless extended, or earlier terminated, by the Board. Notwithstanding the program’s five-year term, the Board reviews and re-evaluates the program annually in light of the Company’s then current capital needs, the number and cost of shares repurchased, the number of shares remaining for repurchase under the authorization, and other relevant factors. In addition, management will confer with the FRBB regarding the program, as appropriate in the circumstances. As of September 30, 2025, 37,453 shares had been repurchased since the inception of the program, for an aggregate purchase price of $701,454. The following table illustrates the changes in shareholders' equity from December 31, 2024, to September 30, 2025: Balance as of December 31, 2024 (book value $17.24 per common share) $ 98,048,205 Net income 12,332,018 Issuance of common stock through the DRIP 1,068,890 Dividends declared on common stock (4,027,225 ) Dividends declared on preferred stock (84,375 ) Repurchase of shares through the stock buyback program (701,470 ) Change in AOCI on AFS securities, net of tax 5,244,299 Balance as of September 30, 2025 (book value $19.64 per common share) $ 111,880,342 Following consultation with the FRBB, the Board has approved for repurchase the remaining 15 shares of the Company's Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. The shares were redeemed at par ($100,000 per share), plus the accrued quarterly dividend through the redemption date. The redemption was completed during the fourth quarter of 2025. 49 Table of Contents As described in more detail in Note 22 to the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the caption “LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES” in the MD&A section of that report, the Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies pursuant to which they must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. As of September 30, 2025, the Bank was considered well capitalized under the standard regulatory capital framework for Prompt Corrective Action and the Company exceeded currently applicable consolidated regulatory guidelines for capital adequacy.

(2) Applicable to banks, but not bank holding companies. The Company's ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is largely dependent on the Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Company. In general, a national bank may not pay dividends that exceed net income for the current and preceding two years. Regardless of statutory restrictions, as a matter of regulatory policy, banks and bank holding companies should pay dividends only out of current earnings and only if, after paying such dividends, they remain adequately capitalized. 50 Table of Contents ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Omitted, in accordance with the regulatory relief available to smaller reporting companies in SEC Release Nos. 33-10513 and 34-83550. ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). As of September 30, 2025, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed in the reports it files with the Commission under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis. For this purpose, the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by it in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. 51 Table of Contents PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in litigation that is considered incidental to its business. Management does not expect that any such litigation will be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. ITEM 1A. Risk Factors In management’s view, the Risk Factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, represent the most significant risks to the Company's future results of operations and financial condition as of the date of this quarterly report.
