Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Unaudited)
Description of Business
Fifth District Bancorp, Inc. (“Fifth District Bancorp” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation incorporated on February 15, 2024, to serve as the bank holding company for Fifth District Savings Bank (“Fifth District” or the “Bank”) in connection with the Bank’s conversion from the mutual to stock form of organization (the “Conversion”). The Conversion was completed on July 31, 2024. In connection with the Conversion, Fifth District Bancorp acquired 100 % ownership of Fifth District and the Company offered and sold 5,459,473 shares of its common stock at $ 10.00 per share, for gross offering proceeds of $ 54,594,730 . The cost of the Conversion and issuance of common stock was approximately $ 2,400,000 , which was deducted from the gross offering proceeds. Additionally, the Company contributed 100,000 shares to a newly formed charitable foundation. The Bank’s employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) purchased 444,758 shares of the common stock sold by the Company, which was equal to 8 % of the 5,559,473 shares of common stock issued by the Company. The ESOP purchased the shares using a loan from the Company. The Company contributed approximately $ 26,097,000 of the net proceeds from the offering to the Bank, loaned $ 4,447,580 of the net proceeds to the ESOP and retained approximately $ 21,400,000 of the net proceeds.
The Bank is a federally-chartered stock savings bank which attracts deposits from the general public and uses such deposits primarily to originate loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, family residences. The Bank’s primary regulator is the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The Bank’s activities are provided to customers of the Bank by branch offices located in the greater New Orleans area; however, loan and deposit customers are found dispersed in a wider geographical area covering southeast Louisiana. The Bank operates as one reporting segment.
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies and practices of the Company conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and predominant practices within the banking industry.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. All adjustments are normal and recurring nature and are the only adjustments included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2024 include the amounts of Fifth District Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fifth District. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The financial statements as of the and for the period ended September 30, 2023 represent the Bank only, as the conversion to stock form, including the formation of Fifth District Bancorp, was completed on July 31, 2024. References herein to the “Company” for periods prior to the completion of the stock conversion should be deemed to refer to the “Bank”.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the valuation of the allowance for credit losses, deferred taxes, and fair value of financial instruments.
The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. In connection with the determination of estimated losses on loans and unfunded commitments, management obtains independent appraisals for significant collateral. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination processes, periodically review the estimated losses on loans. Based on such reviews the Company may determine to recognize additional losses based on their judgements about information available to them at the time of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the estimated losses on loans may change materially in the near-term. However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash items, amounts due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits at other financial institutions with an original maturity of 90 days or less, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.
Cash and due from banks include bank deposit accounts aggregating approximately $ 23,595,000 and $ 8,934,000 in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $ 250,000 per insured account on September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses and does not believe that significant credit risk exists as a result of this practice.
The Company may be required to maintain cash reserves with the Federal Reserve Bank. The requirement is dependent upon the Company’s cash on hand or noninterest-bearing balances. There was no reserve requirement as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023.
Investment Securities
Debt securities classified as held-to-maturity are those debt securities the Company has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity regardless of changes in market conditions, liquidity needs, or changes in general economic conditions. These securities are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discounts. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the effective interest method over the terms of the securities, identified as the call date as to premiums and maturity date as to discounts. The Company held no held-to-maturity securities as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Debt securities classified as available-for-sale are those debt securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available-for-sale would be based on various factors, including significant movement in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Company’s assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. These securities are carried at estimated fair value by a third-party pricing service with any

unrealized gains or losses excluded from net income and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of the related deferred tax effect.
Debt securities that are classified as trading are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term. These securities are carried at estimated fair value by a third-party pricing service with any unrealized gains or losses included in net income and reported in non-interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company held no trading securities as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Gains and losses realized on sales of debt securities, determined using the adjusted cost basis of the specific securities sold, are included in non-interest income in the statements of operations. Dividend and interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount arising at acquisition, from all categories of investment securities are included in interest income in the consolidated statements of operations.
Restricted Stock
Restricted stock is stock from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and First National Bankers Bank (FNBB), which is restricted as to its marketability. Because no ready market exists for these investments and they have no quoted market value, the Company’s investment in these stocks is carried at cost. A determination as to whether there has been an impairment of a restricted stock investment is performed on an annual basis and includes a review of the current financial condition of the issuer.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Investment Securities Available-for-Sale
For available-for-sale securities, management evaluates all investments in an unrealized loss position on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. If the Company has the intent to sell the security, the security is written down to fair value, and the entire loss is recorded in earnings.
If either of the above criteria is not met, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value is the result of credit losses or other factors. In making the assessment, the Company may consider various factors including the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, performance on underlying collateral, downgrades in the ratings of the security by a rating agency, the failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security and any excess is recorded as an allowance for credit loss, limited to the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, recognized as a provision for credit loss in the statements of operations. Any amount of noncredit related unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Changes in the allowance for credit loss are recorded as provision for (or recovery of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance for credit loss when management believes an available-for-sale security is confirmed to be uncollectible or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was no allowance for credit loss related to the available-for-sale portfolio.
Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities totaled approximately $ 337,000 and $ 168,000 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Loans Receivable
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts and deferred fees and costs.
Accrued interest receivable related to loans totaled approximately $ 1,813,000 and $ 1,589,000 at September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, and was reported in accrued interest receivable on the balance sheets. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance as earned using the interest method over the life of the loan. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to the related loan’s yield using the effective interest method over the contractual life of the loan.
The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due, is not well collateralized and in the process of collection, or when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the principal or interest will not be collectible in the normal course of business. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. A loan is considered to be past due when a scheduled payment has not been received 30 days after the contractual due date.
All accrued interest is reversed against interest income when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Interest received on such loans is accounted for using the cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, there is a sustained period of repayment performance, and future payments are reasonably assured.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans Receivable
The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.
The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of lifetime credit losses in loans as of the balance sheet date. The allowance for credit losses is estimated by management using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
Expected credit losses are measured on a pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist using the weighted-average remaining life method. The weighted-average remaining life method applies a loss rate to a given pool of loans over the estimated remaining life of the given pool, which is based on historical data. Loan losses are calculated using the weighted-average remaining life method due to the nature and limited complexity of the loan portfolio.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company has identified and calculates the allowance for credit losses for each of the following portfolio segments:
Loan Pool
Risk Characteristics
One-to-Four Family Mortgages
This category consists of loans secured by residential real estate. The performance of these loans may be adversely affected by, among other factors, local residential real estate market conditions, the interest rate environment, and inflation.
Construction Loans
This category consists of loans to finance the ground-up construction and/or improvement of residential and vacant lot loans. The performance of construction loans is generally dependent upon the successful completion of improvements and/or land development for the end user. The successful completion of planned improvements and development may be adversely affected by changes in the estimated property value upon completion of construction, projected costs, and other conditions leading to project delays.
Home Equity Loans/ Lines of Credit
This category consists of loans secured by first and junior liens on residential real estate. The performance of these loans may be adversely affected by, among other factors, local residential real estate market conditions, the interest rate environment, and inflation.
Commercial Loans
This category consists of purchased business loans made to various practitioners and other professionals. These loans are often originally secured by blanket UCC-1 filings. When the loan is purchased, the Bank purchases 100 % of the loan and remits 97 % of the loan balance to the seller and the seller establishes a reserve deposit account with the Bank equal to 3 % of the loan balance. If a loan becomes delinquent, the Bank withdraws payment from the reserve deposit account. If a loan becomes 90 days delinquent, the seller typically replaces the delinquent loan with a performing loan of equal or greater balance (although this is not a contractual obligation of the seller). The performance of these loans may be adversely affected by among other factors, local and national market conditions, the interest rate environment and inflation.
Consumer Loans
This category consists of loans to individuals for household, family, and other personal use. The performance of these loans may be adversely affected by national and local economic conditions, inflation, and other factors affecting the borrower’s income available to service the debt.
Additionally, the allowance for credit losses calculation includes subjective adjustments for qualitative risk factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. These qualitative adjustments may increase or reduce reserve levels and include adjustments for lending management experience and risk tolerance, loan review and audit results, asset quality and portfolio trends, loan portfolio growth, industry concentrations, trends in underlying collateral, external factors, and economic conditions not already captured. The Company estimates reasonable and supportable forecasts of expected credit losses and reverts to historical loss information for periods beyond the forecast period for the remaining life of the loan pool.
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. When the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided through the operation or sale of the collateral, the expected credit losses are based on the fair value of collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for estimated selling costs, as appropriate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Allowance for Credit Losses - Unfunded Commitments
Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
The Company records an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable, through a charge to provision for unfunded commitments in the consolidated statements of operations. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under the current expected credit loss model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur as well as any third-party guarantees. The allowance for unfunded commitments is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Bank Owned Life Insurance
The Bank is the beneficiary of life insurance contracts purchased on the lives of certain officers of the Bank which are reported at their cash surrender value. At September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, life insurance contracts totaled approximately $ 10,603,000 and $ 10,332,000 , respectively. Appreciation in the cash surrender value amounted to approximately $ 91,000 and $ 89,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $ 271,000 and $ 237,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Appreciation in value of the insurance policies is included in bank owned life insurance within non-interest income in the consolidated statements of operations.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed generally on the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives for building and improvements range from 15 to 40 years, and for furniture and fixtures from 5 to 10 years.
Major expenditures for property acquisitions and those expenditures which substantially increase useful lives are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and minor replacements that do not significantly improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred.
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, their cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is reflected in other non-interest income or expense.
Real Estate Owned
Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition, less estimated costs to sell. Any write-downs at the time of acquisition are charged to the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent to acquisition, a valuation allowance is established, if necessary, to report these assets at the lower of (a) fair value minus estimated costs to sell or (b) cost.
The ability of the Company to recover the carrying value of real estate is based upon future sales of the real estate owned. The ability to effect such recovery is subject to market conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Operating income of such properties, net of related expenses, and gains and losses on their disposition, are included in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company had $ 42,000 of real estate owned as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. The evaluation of a tax position taken is considered by itself and not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority.
The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the consolidated balance sheets, along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an entity in its tax returns that might be uncertain. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and management has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions that are material to the consolidated financial statements.
The Company recognized no interest and/or penalties in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, nor any amount of interest and/or penalties payable that were recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, in relation to its income tax returns. Any penalties or interest would be recognized in income tax expense.
The Bank is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations for years prior to 2021.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes. Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and pension-related changes other than net periodic pension cost. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) consists of the cumulative unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and the cumulative unrealized gain or loss for the funded status of the pension plan liability, net of tax.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) represents income available or loss attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are shown as a reduction in stockholders’ equity and are excluded from the weighted-

average common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings per share calculations until they are committed to be released.
The Company had no dilutive or potentially dilutive securities during the period ended September 30, 2024.
Revenue Recognition
In the ordinary course of business, the Company recognizes income from various revenue generating activities. Revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606 is measured based on the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services as the related performance obligation is satisfied. Some obligations are satisfied at a point in time while others are satisfied over a period of time. A performance obligation is deemed to be satisfied when the control over goods or services is transferred to the customer.
The majority of the Company’s revenue is specifically excluded from the scope of ASC 606. Service charges on deposit accounts and ATM and check card fees are the most significant categories of revenue within the scope of ASC 606 and is included in non-interest income on the consolidated statements of operations.
Service charges on deposit accounts include charges related to depository accounts under standard service agreements. Fees are generally recognized at a point in time as services are delivered to or consumed by the customer or as penalties are assessed.
ATM and check card fees includes interchange fees from credit and debit cards processed through card association networks, annual fees, and other transaction and account management fees. Interchange rates are generally set by the credit card associations and based on purchase volumes and other factors. The Company records interchange fees as services are provided. Transaction and account management fees are recognized as services are provided, except for annual fees which are recognized over the applicable period. The costs of related loyalty rewards programs are netted against interchange revenue as a direct cost of the revenue generating activity.
Non-Direct-Response Advertising
The Company expenses all advertising costs, except for direct-response advertising, as incurred. Advertising and promotional expenses totaled approximately $ 30,000 and $ 55,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $ 107,000 and $ 197,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. If the Company incurs expenses for material direct-response advertising, it will be amortized over the estimated benefit period. Direct-response advertising consists of advertising whose primary purpose is to elicit sales to customers who could be shown to have responded specifically to the advertising and results in probable future benefits. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not incur any direct-response advertising costs.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) . This ASU applies to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or other rate references expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform and provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP if certain criteria are met. The updated guidance was originally effective upon issuance through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06 which deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. Management does not anticipate the guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting- Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures . This amendment is intended to improve disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and addresses requests from investors and other decision makers for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The amendment applies to all public entities that are required to report segment information in accordance with Topic 280. All public entities will be required to report segment information in accordance with the new guidance starting in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented and segment expense categories should be based on the categories identified at adoption. The Company does not currently expect adoption of the amendment to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which amended the Income Taxes topic in the Accounting Standards Codification 742 to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

At September 30, 2024, 64 of the Company’s available-for-sale securities had unrealized losses totaling 10.1 % of the individual securities’ amortized cost basis and 6.3 % of the Company’s total amortized cost basis of the investment securities portfolio. At September 30, 2024, 57 of these 64 securities had been in a continuous loss position for over 12 months. The unrealized losses of these securities are believed to be caused by interest rate increases and changing market conditions and the Company does not intend to sell the securities, and it is not likely to be required to sell these securities prior to maturity. Management has determined that the declines in the fair value of these securities are not attributable to credit losses.
All of the mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations in an unrealized loss position are issued or guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises.
No allowance for credit losses was recorded for available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company uses the following criteria to assess risk ratings with respect to its loan portfolio, which are consistent with regulatory guidelines:
Pass - Loans that comply in all material respects with the loan policies that are adequately secured with conforming collateral and that are extended to borrowers with documented ability to safely cover their total debt service requirements.
Special Mention - Includes loans that do not warrant adverse classification but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses that deserve close attention.
Substandard - Includes loans that are inadequately protected by the collateral pledged or the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower. Such loans have one or more weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and expose the Company to loss if the weaknesses are not corrected.
The Company’s credit quality indicators are reviewed and updated annually.

Collateral-Dependent Loans
The Company designates individually evaluated loans on nonaccrual status as collateral-dependent loans, as well as other loans that management of the Company designates as having higher risk. Collateral-dependent loans are loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. These loans do not share common risk characteristics and are not included within the collectively evaluated loans for determining the allowance for credit losses. For collateral-dependent loans, the Company has adopted the practical expedient to measure the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of collateral. The allowance for credit losses is calculated on an individual loan basis based on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan’s collateral, which is adjusted for liquidation costs/discounts, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, no allowance is required.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The decrease in the allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023 was driven by various factors, including the evolving economic outlook, values in the local real estate market, low net charge-offs, and refining our peer group selection to better align with peers whose loan portfolios reflect the composition of our own loan portfolio and the current local economic conditions. Adjusting this component of our estimate has resulted in a reduced peer group loss rate and corresponding adjustments to our peer comparisons. This change in accounting estimate was recognized prospectively. In turn our CECL reserve percentage was decreased resulting in a $ 1.1 million reversal in our allowance for credit loss. This adjustment was made in the second quarter of 2024.

Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon asset origination or acquisition. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company uses a probability of default/loss given default model to determine the allowance for credit losses. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification.
Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. Occasionally, the Company modifies loans by providing principal forgiveness on certain of its loans. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the allowance for credit losses. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses.
In some cases, the Company will modify a certain loan by providing multiple types of concessions. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted.
25
Table of Contents
FIFTH DISTRICT BANCORP, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Upon determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectable, the loan (or portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.
The Company had no loans with modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023.
There were no modifications to borrower’s experiencing financial difficulty entered into during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and no loans which had defaults during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 which have been modified due to the borrower experiencing financial difficulty.
Unfunded Commitments
The Company did not record an adjustment for unfunded commitments for the adoption of ASC 326. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, provision for credit losses for unfunded commitments totaled approximately ($ 110,000 ) and - 0 -, respectively. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the liability for credit losses on off-balance-sheet credit exposures included in other liabilities was $ 15,000 and $ 125,000 , respectively.
Related Party Loans
In the normal course of business, loans are made to officers and directors of the Company, as well as to their affiliates. Such loans are made in the ordinary course of business with substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. They do not involve more than normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.
An analysis of the related party activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows (in thousands):

Related Party Other
The Company generally requires an inspection of the property before disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan and inspections are typically performed by one of the Company’s directors. There is no revenue or expense recorded by the Company related to those services as the customer pays these fees through their closing costs.
Note 5.
Regulatory Matters
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by its primary federal regulator, the OCC. Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
26
Table of Contents
FIFTH DISTRICT BANCORP, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items, as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of common equity Tier I capital, Tier I capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier I capital to average assets. The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (Basel Ill rules) became fully effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. Management believes, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, that the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the most recent notification from the OCC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total ratios as disclosed in the table below. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s prompt corrective action category.
The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are also presented in the table below (dollar amounts in thousands):

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Bank had made various commitments to extend credit totaling approximately $ 24,000,000 . respectively. Of these commitments,

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
approximately $ 8,391,000 and $ 9,368,000 are at variable rates as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn upon, the total commitment amount disclosed above does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if considered necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. To measure fair value, accounting guidance has established a hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. This hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:
Level 1 Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in instruments traded in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2 Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis
The following describes the hierarchy designation, valuation methodology, and key inputs to measure fair value on a recurring basis for designated financial instruments:
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale
Where available, fair value estimates for available-for-sale securities are based on quoted market prices in an active market (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics, quoted prices of identical securities in less active markets, discounted cash flow techniques or matrix pricing models (Level 2). In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 are not available, securities are classified as Level 3 of the hierarchy. The carrying amount of accrued interest on securities approximates its fair value.

The Company did no t record any liabilities at fair market value for which measurement of the fair value was made on a recurring basis at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
There were no transfers into, out of, purchases, or sales of Level 3 securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis
The following describes the hierarchy designation, valuation methodologies, and key inputs for those assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:
Collateral Dependent Loans
For collateral dependent loans, fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans and is classified at a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral dependent loans consist of one-to-four family mortgages secured by residential properties. The value of residential property collateral is determined based on appraisal by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.
Foreclosed Assets and Real Estate Owned
Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired and classified at a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. These assets are subsequently accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank to estimate fair value of financial instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Fair value approximates carrying value.
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale - Fair value is obtained from an independent pricing service based on quoted market prices or quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics, quoted prices of identical securities in less active markets, discounted cash flow techniques, or matrix pricing models.

Restricted Stock - Consists of stock held as required by the respective institutions for membership and are carried at cost. While a fixed stock amount is required, the Federal Home Loan Bank stock requirement increases or decreases with the level of borrowing activity.
Loans Receivable, Net – Fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit rating and for the same remaining maturity. The fair value of loans is measured using an exit price notion.
Bank Owned Life Insurance - Fair value approximates carrying value.
Deposits - For NOW, savings and certain money market fund accounts, fair value is equal to the amount payable on demand or carrying value. For time deposits, fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow method.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances- Fair value approximates carrying value.

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

ESOP
In connection with the Conversion, the Company established an ESOP for the exclusive benefit of eligible employees. The Company makes quarterly contributions to the ESOP in amounts as defined by the plan document. The contributions are used to pay debt services. Certain ESOP shares are pledged as collateral for debt. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to active employees, based on the proportion of debt service paid during the period.
In connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the ESOP borrowed $ 4,447,580 payable to the Company for the purpose of purchasing shares of the Company’s common stock. A total of 444,758 shares were purchased with loan proceeds. Common stock acquired by the ESOP is shown as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. The loan is expected to be repaid over a period of up to 20 years .
Contributions to the ESOP totaled $ 224,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Compensation expense is recognized over the service period based on the average fair value of the shares and totaled $ 115,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
Management’s discussion and analysis is intended to enhance your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. The financial information in this section is derived from the accompanying consolidated financial statements. You should read the financial information in this section in conjunction with the business and financial information contained in this report and in the Company’s definitive prospectus dated May 10, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 20, 2024.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “target” and words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
● statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;
● statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;
● statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and
● estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.
These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:
● general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market area, which are worse than expected;
● inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins and yields, the fair value of our financial instruments, or our loan origination volume, or increase the level of defaults, losses and prepayments within our loan portfolio;
● changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses;
● our ability to access cost-effective funding;
● our ability to maintain adequate liquidity, primarily through deposits;
● fluctuations in real estate values and in the conditions of the residential real estate market;
● demand for loans and deposits in our market area;
● our ability to implement and change our business strategies;
33
Table of Contents
● competition among depository and other financial institutions;
● adverse changes in the securities markets;
● changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees, capital requirements and insurance premiums;
● changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios;
● technological changes that may be more difficult or expensive than expected;
● the inability of third-party providers to perform as expected;
● a failure or breach of our operational or information security systems or infrastructure, including cyberattacks;
● our ability to manage market risk, credit risk, operational risk and reputation risk;
● our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;
● changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
● changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
● our ability to retain key employees; and
● changes in the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own.
Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company assumes no obligation and disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. We consider the accounting policy discussed below to be our critical accounting policy. The estimates and assumptions that we use are based on historical experience and various other factors and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (JOBS Act) contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
34
Table of Contents
We consider the accounting policy for the allowance for credit losses to be our critical accounting policy. Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) methodology. Under the CECL methodology, the allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of lifetime credit losses in loans as of the balance sheet date using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. For reporting periods before January 1, 2023 and the adoption of CECL, we used the incurred loss impairment method to estimate the allowance for loan losses on loans receivable. Under the incurred loss impairment methodology, the allowance for loan losses was based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, and other factors, and consisted of allocated and unallocated components.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to our allowance for credit losses that existed as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We concluded that our procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023 and un-remediated as of September 30, 2024. Specifically, we identified, the following material weaknesses in our internal control over our financial reporting:
● management did not maintain sufficient evidence of independent review or supporting documentation related to key methodologies, assumptions, and calculations, including support for the qualitative factors, utilized in the allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023; and
● management did not maintain sufficient evidence of independent review or supporting documentation, including support for the qualitative factors, related to the January 1, 2023 adoption of Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.
These material weaknesses could result in misstatements of our allowance for credit losses and related disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of our financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
We intend to remediate these material weaknesses. We currently are assessing and improving our processes and control procedures to ensure they will operate at an acceptable level of assurance. The remedial measures we will take to address these material weaknesses include calculating an allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments; revising the peer group of institutions to include institutions whose loan portfolios better reflect the composition of our loan portfolio; obtaining updated independent appraisals for loans being evaluated for impairment; enhancing qualitative factors support to include data points tied to a specified timeframe, such as, for example, the unemployment rate, to consistently allocate basis point reserves for each reporting period; using qualitative factors to adjust the allowance for credit losses for economic conditions that impact us and documenting the adjustments in a narrative accompanying the allowance calculation; and assigning an independent individual to review the allowance calculation to assure its accuracy and completeness.
We believe these actions and any other that we may determine need to be implemented, when complete, will remediate the control weaknesses. However, the weaknesses will not be considered fully remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time for management to test the results for operating effectiveness. Once implemented, we intend to continue periodic testing and reporting of the internal controls to ensure continuity of compliance.
The decrease in the allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023 was driven by various factors, including the evolving economic outlook, values in the local real estate market, low net charge-offs, and refining our peer group selection to better align with peers whose loan portfolios reflect the composition of our own loan portfolio and the current local economic conditions. Adjusting this component of our estimate has
35

resulted in a reduced peer group loss rate and corresponding adjustments to our peer comparisons. In turn our CECL reserve percentage was decreased resulting in a $1.1 million reversal in our allowance for credit loss.
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023
Total Assets. Total assets were $523.8 million at September 30, 2024, an increase of $43.0 million, or 9.0%, compared to $480.8 million at December 31, 2023. This increase is primarily due to $14.8 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, $25.9 million increase in investment securities available-for-sale, and $2.7 million increase in loans receivable, net.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $14.8 million, or 76.6%, to $34.1 million at September 30, 2024 from $19.3 million at December 31, 2023. This increase resulted primarily from the cash received for subscriptions to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in its initial public offering. The net proceeds of the public offering are reflected in Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2024.
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale. Investment securities available-for-sale increased $25.9 million, or 38.1%, to $93.8 million at September 30, 2024 from $67.9 million at December 31, 2023. Securities purchased totaled $48.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, securities sold totaled $18.7 million, and calls, maturities, and repayments totaled $5.3 million.
Loans Receivable, Net. Loans receivable, net, increased by $2.7 million, or 0.7%, to $367.7 million at September 30, 2024 from $365.0 million at December 31, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, loan originations were $26.9 million and loan repayments totaled $24.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, commercial and industrial loans increased by $3.7 million, primarily from the purchase of the guaranteed portion of government loans, and Bankers Healthcare loans. 1-4 single family mortgages decreased by $2.8 million, home equity loans decreased by $629,000, construction loans increased by $1.5 million, and we reversed $1.1 million from our allowance for credit losses.
Deposits. Deposits decreased by $5.9 million, or 1.5%, to $384.1 million at September 30, 2024, from $390.0 million at December 31, 2023. Certificates of deposit increased $3.6 million, or 1.59%, to $231.8 million at September 30, 2024, from $228.1 million at December 31, 2023. The majority of the increase in certificates of deposit was driven by new customer activity and migration from lower yielding money markets accounts. NOW accounts increased $2.0 million, or 3.9%, to $52.8 million at September 30, 2024, from $50.8 million at December 31, 2023. MMDA accounts decreased $4.4 million, or 16.8%, to $22.0 million at September 30, 2024, from $26.4 million at December 31, 2023. Savings Accounts decrease $7.1 million, or 8.37%, to $77.5 million at September 30, 2024, from $84.6 million at December 31, 2023.
Total Stockholders’ Equity. Total stockholders’ equity increased by $50.1 million, or 64.4%, to $127.9 million at September 30, 2024, from $77.8 million at December 31, 2023. The increase resulted from the sale of stock in the initial public offering that totaled $53.2 million, offset by the unearned ESOP of $4.3 million, the accumulated other comprehensive loss (as a result of market value adjustment of investment securities available-for-sale due to the rise in market interest rates during the period) declining $2.5 million and retained earnings decreasing $1.2 million due to the net loss for the period ended September 30, 2024.

(4) Average yield/rate is an annualized amount.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
General . Net income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was ($788,000), a decrease of $827,000, or 2,120.5%, compared to $39,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The net loss was primarily from an increase in non-interest expense of $1.6 million resulting from a $1.3 million charitable contribution to establish the Fifth District Community Foundation, a $508,000 increase in interest expense, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in interest income, and a $220,000 decrease in provision for income taxes.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased by $1.0 million, or 25.0%, to $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is attributed to a $252,000, or 7.0%, increase in interest on loans, a $433,000, or 346.4%, increase in interest on other interest-earning assets and $353,000, or 84.3%, increase in interest on investment securities available-for-sale.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, average loans receivable, net, increased by $6.9 million, or 1.9%, from the three months ended September 30, 2023. The average yield on loans increased to 4.16% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from 3.96% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, due to the rising market rate environment.
The average balance of investment securities available-for-sale increased $13.4 million, or 19.4%, to $82.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $69.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The average yield on available-for-sale investment securities increased to 3.71% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from 2.40% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in the average yield on available-for-sale investment securities was primarily due to the rising market interest rate environment.
Interest income on cash and cash equivalents, comprised primarily of overnight deposits, increased by $433,000, or 376.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, due to an increase in the average yield to 5.37% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from 4.80% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in interest income was mainly due to the increase in the balance of cash and cash equivalents arising from the cash received for the purchase of stock in the IPO. The increase in average yield was due to the rise in market interest rates.
Interest Expense . Total interest expense increased $508,000 or 28.2%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the increase in the average cost of deposits to 2.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from 1.81% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, reflecting the rising market interest rate environment. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by $18.7 million, or 4.9%, to $403.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $384.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Net Interest Income . Net interest income increased $530,000, or 22.5%, to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase reflects the increase in the interest rate spread to 1.91% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from 1.89% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, while average net interest-earning assets increased $36.0 million period-to-period. The net interest margin increased to 2.32% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from 2.11% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased from 3.73% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, to 4.18% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased from 1.84% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, to 2.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit from 3.22% in 2023 to 3.81% in 2024. The increase in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit contributed to migration from lower yielding savings accounts and money market accounts, to higher yielding certificates of deposit. The average balance of certificates of deposit increased from $208.6 million as of September 30, 2023, to $235.2 million as September 30, 2024, while over the same period the average balance of savings accounts decreased from $93.1 million to $79.8 million, and the average balance of money market accounts decreased from $31.7 million to $22.2 million.

The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased from 1.49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, to 2.37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit from 2.71% in 2023 to 3.81% in 2024. The increase in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit contributed to migration from lower yielding savings accounts, NOW accounts and money market accounts, to higher yielding certificates of deposit.

The decrease was due to a $2.3 million, or 300.0%, decrease in pretax income. The effective tax rate was 21% for both periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, and proceeds from maturities of securities. We also have the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and from two correspondent banks and, until March 11, 2024, had the ability to obtain advances under the Federal Reserve Board’s Bank Term Funding Program. Under the terms of the Bank Term Funding Program, advances cannot be obtained after March 11, 2024. At September 30, 2024, we had no outstanding advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. At September 30, 2024, we had no outstanding balances under the correspondent bank credit facilities and no outstanding balance under the Bank Term Funding Program.
Time deposits that meet or exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limit of $250,000 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $45.2 million and $42.2 million, respectively.
Based on collateral pledged, consisting of all shares of FHLB stock owned and the blanket pledge of approximately $237.0 million of its qualifying mortgage loans as of September 30, 2024, the Company was eligible to borrow up to an additional $180.5 million as of September 30, 2024.
The Company has an unsecured federal funds line of credit with FNBB that expires on September 30, 2025. The Company is eligible to borrow up to $27.2 million. There was no amount outstanding on this line of credit as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The Company is eligible to borrow from TIB’s Federal Funds Purchase Line Program, which provides overnight liquidity through pledge of certain qualifying securities. The Bank is eligible to borrow up to $15.0 million and repayment is due the next day. There was no amount outstanding on this line of credit as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.
42
Table of Contents
Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows from financing activities. See the accompanying Statements of Cash Flows for further information.
Fifth District Bancorp, Inc. is a separate legal entity from Fifth District Savings Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay its operating expenses and other financial obligations. Its primary source of income is dividends received from the Bank. The amount of dividends that the Bank may declare and pay to the Company is governed by applicable bank regulations. At September 30, 2024, the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $21.4 million.
We believe we maintain a strong liquidity position, and are committed to maintaining it. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be retained.
At September 30, 2024, the Bank was categorized as well-capitalized under applicable bank regulatory capital guidelines. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change its category.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At September 30, 2024, we had $23.6 million of outstanding commitments to originate loans, which primarily consists of $8.4 million of remaining funds to be disbursed on construction loans in process and $13.4 million of unused balances of home equity lines of credit. At September 30, 2024, certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature on or before September 30, 2025 totaled $215.2 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts or utilize Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas advances, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.
Management of Market Risk
General . Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our financial condition and results of operations to changes in market interest rates. All directors participate in discussions during the regular board meetings evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, and the level of risk that is appropriate. These discussions take into consideration our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives consistent with the policy and guidelines approved by them. The board of directors establishes policies and guidelines for managing interest rate risk.
Our asset/liability management strategy attempts to manage the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income, our primary source of earnings. Among the techniques we are using to manage interest rate risk are:
● maintaining capital levels that substantially exceed the thresholds for well-capitalized status under federal regulations;
● maintaining a high liquidity level;
● growing our core deposit accounts; and
● managing our investment securities portfolio to reduce the average maturity and effective life of the portfolio.
By following these strategies, we believe that we are better positioned to react to increases and decreases in market interest rates.

We have not engaged in hedging activities, such as investing in futures or options. We do not anticipate entering into hedging transactions in the future.
Economic Value of Equity . We compute amounts by which the net present value of our assets and liabilities (economic value of equity or “EVE”) would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. This model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach to measure the interest rate sensitivity of net portfolio value. The model estimates the economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance sheet contract under the assumptions that the United States Treasury yield curve increases instantaneously by 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis point increments or decreases instantaneously by 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis point increments, with changes in interest rates representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve.
The following table sets forth, as of September 30, 2024, the calculation of the estimated changes in our EVE that would result from the designated immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve. All estimated changes presented in the table are within the policy limits established by the board of directors.

(1) Assumes an immediate uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.
(2) EVE is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts.
(3) Present value of assets represents the discounted present value of incoming cash flows on interest-earning assets.
(4) EVE Ratio represents EVE divided by the present value of assets.
The table above indicates that at September 30, 2024, we would have experienced a 28.48% decrease in EVE in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in market interest rates and a 20.27% increase in EVE in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in market interest rates.

(1) Assumes an immediate uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.
The table above indicates that as of September 30, 2024, we would have experienced a 16.31% decrease in net interest income in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in market interest rates and a 2.52% increase in net interest income in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in market interest rates.
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurement. Modeling changes in EVE and NII require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. For instance, the EVE and NII tables presented above assume that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. However, the shape of the yield curve changes constantly and the value and pricing of our assets and liabilities, including our deposits, may not closely correlate with changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, although the EVE and NII tables may provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time and in the context of a particular yield curve, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on EVE and NII and will differ from actual results.
EVE and net interest NII calculations also may not reflect the fair values of financial instruments. For example, decreases in market interest rates can increase the fair values of our loans, deposits and borrowings.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The information in Item 2 under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Management of Market Risk” is incorporated in this Item 3 by reference.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2024. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses disclosed above in Item 2 under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.”

Table of Contents
During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, except as follows to address the material weaknesses disclosed above in Item 2 under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”: We currently are assessing and improving our processes and control procedures to ensure they will operate at an acceptable level of assurance. The remedial measures we will take to address these material weaknesses include calculating an allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments; revising the peer group of institutions to include institutions whose loan portfolios better reflect the composition of our loan portfolio; obtaining updated independent appraisals for loans being evaluated for impairment; enhancing qualitative factors support to include data points tied to a specified timeframe, such as, for example, the unemployment rate, to consistently allocate basis point reserves for each reporting period; using qualitative factors to adjust the allowance for credit losses for economic conditions that impact us and documenting the adjustments in a narrative accompanying the allowance calculation; and assigning an independent individual to review the allowance calculation to assure its accuracy and completeness.
