MAGYAR BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), its wholly owned subsidiary, Magyar Bank
(the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries Magyar Service Corporation, Hungaria Urban Renewal, LLC, and
Magyar Investment Company. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company prepares its consolidated
financial statements on the accrual basis and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("US GAAP"). The unaudited information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that
are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
Operating results
for the six months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September
30, 2025 or for any other period. The September 30, 2024 information has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements
at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.
The preparation
of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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 consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance
for credit losses, the valuation of available-for-sale investment securities, the valuation of other real estate owned (“OREO”),
and the assessment of realizability of deferred income tax assets.
The Company has
evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date of March 31, 2025 for items that should potentially be
recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. The evaluation was conducted through the date these consolidated financial
statements were issued.
NOTE B - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In connection
with the preparation of quarterly and annual reports in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 11.M requires the disclosure of the impact that recently issued accounting standards
will have on consolidated financial statements when they are adopted in the future.
Accounting Standards
Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “ Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ”
requires public entities to disclose detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses on both an annual and interim basis.
ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2024. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition,
the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories
identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The Company is in the process of completing its analysis of ASU 2023-07 and expects
to incorporate additional disclosures in the financial statements on adoption.
NOTE C - CONTINGENCIES
The Company,
from time to time, is a party to routine litigation that arises in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution
of this litigation, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results
of operations as presented in this report.
NOTE D - EARNINGS
PER SHARE
The following
table presents a calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Basic
and diluted earnings per share were calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the periods.

At March 31, 2025,
total compensation cost not yet recognized for the Company’s unvested stock options and stock awards was $ 1.6 million and will be
recognized through September 2027. The Company had no other stock-based compensation plans as of March 31, 2025 except as disclosed below.
The Company maintains
a stock repurchase plan pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to 5 % of its outstanding shares, or up to 337,146 shares, under
which 334,222 shares had been repurchased at an average price of $ 12.13 through March 31, 2025. Under this stock repurchase program, 2,924
shares of the 337,146 shares authorized remained available for repurchase as of March 31, 2025. The Company’s intended use of the
repurchased shares is for general corporate purposes. The Company held treasury stock shares totaling 623,953 at March 31, 2025. The timing
of the repurchases will depend on certain factors, including but not limited to, market conditions and prices, the Company’s liquidity
requirements and alternative uses of capital.
The Company has an
Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for the benefit of employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. The ESOP trust
purchases shares of common stock in the open market using proceeds of a loan from the Company. The loan is secured by shares of the Company’s
stock. The Bank makes cash contributions to the ESOP on an annual basis sufficient to enable the ESOP to make the required loan payments
to the Company. As the debt is repaid, shares are released as collateral and allocated to qualified employees. Accordingly, the shares
pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Employer’s Accounting
for Employee Stock Ownership Plans.” As shares are released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the
current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations.
At March 31, 2025,
ESOP shares allocated to participants totaled 186,940 . Unallocated ESOP shares held in suspense totaled 278,163 with an aggregate fair
value of $ 3.9 million. The Company's contribution expense for the ESOP was $ 44 thousand and $ 35 thousand for the three months ended March
31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $ 87 thousand and $ 84 thousand for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

NOTE G – FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
The Company
uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.
The securities available-for-sale and the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on a recurring
basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets or liabilities on a non-recurring
basis, such as held-to-maturity securities, mortgage servicing rights, loans receivable and OREO. These non-recurring fair value adjustments
involve the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
In accordance
with ASC 820, the Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are
traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
Level 1 -
Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 -
Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3 -
Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. The results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.
The Company
based its fair values on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use
of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The following
is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Securities available-for-sale
The securities
available-for-sale portfolio is carried at estimated fair value on a recurring basis, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes,
reported as accumulated other comprehensive income/loss in stockholders’ equity. The securities available-for-sale portfolio consists
of U.S. government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities. The fair values of these securities are obtained from an independent nationally
recognized pricing service. An independent pricing service provides the Company with prices which are categorized as Level 2, as quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets are generally not available for the securities in the Company’s portfolio. Various
modeling techniques are used to determine pricing for Company’s mortgage-backed securities, including option pricing and discounted
cash flow models. The inputs to these models include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided
markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data.
Derivatives
The Bank executes
interest rate swaps with commercial lending customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. The fair values of such
derivatives are based on valuation models from a third party using current market terms (including interest rates and fees), the remaining
terms of the agreements and the credit worthiness of the counter party as of the measurement date (Level 2).
The following
tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the carrying value of the Company’s assets measured at fair
value on a recurring basis.

The following
presents the carrying amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments carried
at cost or amortized cost as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024. For short-term financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents
and accrued interest receivable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the
origination of the instrument and its expected realization. For financial liabilities such as interest-bearing demand, NOW, and money
market savings deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to these products being payable on demand and
having no stated maturity. The Company’s bank-owned life insurance is not a marketable asset and may generally only be redeemed
with the insurance company and, therefore, is not included in the table below.

The Company
monitors the credit quality of held-to-maturity debt securities, primarily through their credit ratings by nationally recognized statistical
ratings organizations, on a quarterly basis. At March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, there were no non-performing held-to-maturity debt
securities and no allowance for credit losses were required. The majority of the investment securities are explicitly or implicitly guaranteed
by the United States government, and any estimate of expected credit losses would be insignificant to the Company. The following tables

NOTE I – UNREALIZED LOSSES ON INVESTMENT
SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE
The Company
recognizes an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on debt securities in earnings through a provision for credit losses while
non credit-related impairment on debt securities not expected to be sold are recognized in other comprehensive income.
The Company
reviews its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of credit losses. This review includes analyzing the extent to which
the fair value has been lower than the amortized cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific
events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient
to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market. The Company evaluates its intent and ability to hold debt securities based upon its
investment strategy for the particular type of security and its cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate
risk position. In addition, the risk of future credit losses may be influenced by prolonged recession in the U.S. economy, changes in
real estate values and interest deferrals.
Investment securities with fair values
greater than their amortized cost contain unrealized gains. Investment securities with fair values less than their amortized cost contain
unrealized losses. Details of available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024 are as following

The investment securities
listed above currently have fair values less than amortized cost and, therefore, contain unrealized losses. The Company evaluated these
securities and determined that the decline in value was primarily related to fluctuations in the interest rate environment and were not
related to any company or industry specific event.
The Company anticipates
full recovery of amortized costs with respect to these securities. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and has determined
that it is not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these securities prior to maturity or market price recovery.
For individual debt securities classified as available-for-sale, we determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost
has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. If the decline in fair value is due to credit, we will record the portion of the impairment
loss relating to credit through an ACL. Impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recorded through other comprehensive income,
net of applicable taxes.

The segments of the
Company’s loan portfolio are disaggregated to a level that allows management to monitor risk and performance. The residential mortgage
loan segment is further disaggregated into two types: first lien, amortizing term loans, and the combination of second lien amortizing
term loans and home equity lines of credit. The commercial loan segment is further disaggregated into three types: loans secured by multifamily
structures, loans secured by owner-occupied commercial structures, and loans secured by non-owner occupied nonresidential properties.
The construction and land loan segment consists primarily of developers or investors for the purpose of acquiring, developing and constructing
residential or commercial structures and to a lesser extent one-to-four family residential construction loans made to individuals for
the acquisition of and/or construction on a lot or lots on which a residential dwelling is to be built. Construction loans to developers
and investors have a higher risk profile because the ultimate buyer, once development is completed, is generally not known at the time
of the loan. The commercial business loan segment consists of loans made for the purpose of financing the activities of commercial customers
and consists of revolving lines of credit and loans partially guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The consumer loan
segment consists primarily of stock-secured installment loans, but also includes unsecured personal loans and overdraft lines of credit
connected with customer deposit accounts.
Management uses a ten
point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first six categories are considered
not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow
bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting
in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard
category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will
be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. Loans classified Doubtful have all the weaknesses
inherent in loans classified Substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current
conditions and facts, is highly improbable. All loans greater than three months past due are considered Substandard. Any portion
of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.
To help ensure
that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Company has a structured
loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans
are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as severe delinquency, bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to
raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Commercial Loan Officers are responsible for the timely and accurate
risk rating of the loans in their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis. The Company’s Asset Review Committee performs
monthly reviews of all commercial relationships internally rated 6 (“Watch”) or worse. Confirmation of appropriate risk
grading is performed by an external loan review company that semi-annually reviews and assesses loans within the portfolio. Generally,
the external consultant reviews commercial relationships greater than $500 thousand and/or criticized relationships greater than $250
thousand. Detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, are performed on adversely classified loans on a monthly basis.

An ACL is maintained to absorb
losses from the loan portfolio. Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied
process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ACL. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to
be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ACL. Since loans individually evaluated for impairment are promptly
written down to their fair value, typically there is no portion of the ACL for individually evaluated loans.
The
following tables set forth the allocation of the Bank’s ACL by loan category at the dates indicated. The portion of the ACL allocated
to each loan category does not represent the total available for future losses which may occur within the loan category since the total
allowance for credit losses is a valuation allocation applicable to the entire loan portfolio. The Company generally charges-off the collateral
or discounted cash flow deficiency on all loans at 90 days past due and all loans rated substandard or worse that are 90 days past due.

During the six months ended
March 31, 2025, the changes in the ACL for each loan category were primarily due to fluctuations in the outstanding balance of each segment
of loans collectively evaluated for impairment. Specifically, we experienced significant growth in our commercial real estate portfolio
and significant contraction in our construction loan balances during the six months ended March 31, 2025.
The Company’s ACL increased
$ 179 thousand to $ 8.2 million, or 0.98 % of total loan receivable during the six months ended March 31, 2025. Growth in loans receivable
during the six months ended March 31, 2025 resulted in additional provisions for credit losses totaling $ 71 thousand and the Company recorded
$ 108 thousand in net loan recoveries. The Company’s allowance for on-balance sheet credit losses increased to $ 7.9 million at March
31, 2025 from $ 7.5 million at September 30, 2024 while its reserve for off-balance sheet commitments decreased to $ 240 thousand at March
31, 2025 from $ 449 thousand at September 30, 2024.
During the six months ended
March 31, 2025, there were no loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.
There was one residential loan
totaling $ 81 thousand that was in the process of foreclosure at March 31, 2025.

certificates of deposit and $ 20.0 million in certificates of deposit obtained through a national deposit listing service.
At
March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the aggregate deposits in amounts greater than $ 250 thousand, which is the maximum amount for federal
deposit insurance, were $ 485.2 million and $ 380.0 million, respectively.
NOTE L - FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Company may use derivative
financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps and interest rate floors and caps, as part of its interest rate risk management. Interest
rate caps and floors are agreements whereby one party agrees to pay or receive a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount
for a predetermined period of time if certain market interest rate thresholds are met. The Company considers the credit risk inherent
in these contracts to be negligible. As of March 31, 2025, the Company did not hold any interest rate floors or collars.
The Company is a party to interest
rate derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments. Under a program, the Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial
lending customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. These interest rate swaps with customers are simultaneously
offset by interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third-party financial institution, such that the Company minimizes its
net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. Because the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict
hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in
earnings. The changes in the fair value of the swaps offset each other, except for the credit risk of the counterparties, which is determined
by taking into consideration the risk rating, probability of default and loss given default for all counterparties, and was not significant
to the total fair value. The Company was not required to pledge any collateral for its interest rate swaps with financial institutions
at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31,
2025 and September 30, 2024
Total Assets.
Total assets increased $69.9 million, or 7.3%, to $1.0 billion at March 31, 2025 from $951.9 million at September 30, 2024. The increase
was attributable to higher balances of interest-earning deposits with banks and loans receivable.
Interest Earning Deposits .
Total interest-earning deposits with banks increased $46.7 million, or 194.4%, to $70.7 million at March 31, 2025 from $25.6 million at
September 30, 2024 from net deposit inflows during the six months ended March 31, 2025.
Loans Receivable.
Total loans receivable increased $28.8 million, or 3.7%, to $809.0 million at March 31, 2025 from $780.2 million at September 30, 2024.
The increase in total loans receivable during the six months ended March 31, 2025 occurred primarily in commercial real estate loans,
which increased $33.9 million, or 7.4% to $495.2 million, or 61.1% of total loans. The Company also grew its one-to four-family residential
real estate loans (including home equity lines of credit), which increased $3.8 million. Partially offsetting these increases were construction
and land loans, which decreased $5.2 million, commercial business loans, which decreased $3.0 million and other loans, which decreased
$483 thousand.
Given the significance of
commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans to our total loan portfolio, the following table further disaggregates these loans by
occupied status and by collateral type as of March 31, 2025:

The Company obtains an appraisal
of the real estate collateral securing a CRE loan prior to originating the loan. The appraised value is used to calculate the ratio of
the outstanding loan balance to the value of the real estate collateral, or loan-to-value ratio ("LTV"). The original appraisal
is used to monitor the LTVs within the CRE portfolio unless an updated appraisal is received, which may happen for a variety of reasons
including, but not limited to, payment delinquency, additional loan requests using the same collateral, and loan modifications. The following
table presents the ranges in the LTVs of our CRE loans at March 31, 2025:

As of March 31, 2025 and September
30, 2024, non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans (as defined by regulatory guidance) to total risk-based capital were estimated
at approximately 268% and 270%, respectively. Management believes that Magyar Bank has implemented appropriate risk management practices,
including risk assessments, board-approved underwriting policies and related procedures, which include monitoring loan portfolio performance
and stressing of the commercial real estate portfolio under adverse economic conditions.
The Company’s asset
quality with respect to commercial real estate loans has remained strong despite recent economic and market conditions. As of March 31,
2025 and September 30, 2024, we had $0 and $116 thousand of non-performing commercial real estate loans, respectively.
Total non-performing loans
decreased $151 thousand, or 65.1%, to $81 thousand at March 31, 2025 from $232 thousand at September 30, 2024. The ratio of non-performing
loans to total loans decreased to 0.01% at March 31, 2025 from 0.03% at September 30, 2024.
The allowance for credit losses
increased $179 thousand to $8.2 million, or 0.98% of total loans receivable, during the six months ended March 31, 2025. Growth in loans
receivable during the six months ended March 31, 2025 resulted in additional provisions for credit losses totaling $71 thousand and the
Company recorded $108 thousand in net loan recoveries. The Company’s allowance for on-balance sheet credit losses increased to $7.9
million at March 31, 2025 from $7.5 million at September 30, 2024 while its reserve for off-balance sheet commitments decreased to $240
thousand at March 31, 2025 from $449 thousand at September 30, 2024.
The allowance for on-balance
sheet loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.98% at March 31, 2025 and 0.97% at September 30, 2024. Future increases in the
allowance for credit losses may be necessary based on possible future increases in non-performing loans and charge-offs, the possible
deterioration of collateral values, and the possible deterioration of the current economic environment.
Investment Securities.
At March 31, 2025, investment securities totaled $94.0 million, reflecting a decrease of $1.4 million, or 1.5%, from $95.4 million at
September 30, 2024. The decrease resulted from matured bonds totaling $4.5 million and payments from mortgage-backed securities totaling
$3.8 million during the six months ended March 31, 2025. Offsetting these decreases were purchases of mortgage-backed securities totaling
$6.9 million.
Investment securities at March
31, 2025 consisted of $68.8 million in mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises,
$14.5 million in U.S. government-sponsored enterprise debt securities, $7.1 million in corporate notes, $3.4 million in municipal bonds,
and $183 thousand in “private-label” mortgage-backed securities. There was no allowance for credit losses for the Company’s
investment securities at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024.
Bank Owned Life Insurance.
Bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) decreased $2.9 million, or 12.5%, to $20.4 million at March 31, 2025 from $23.3 million
at September 30, 2024.
24
In August 2024, the Company
restructured approximately $7.9 million of its BOLI portfolio with the simultaneous purchase and surrender/exchange of BOLI policies.
During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received $3.2 million from policy surrenders and recorded a $329 thousand increase
in the cash surrender value of the BOLI policies. The restructure increased the yield on the BOLI portfolio from 2.59% (3.71% tax-equivalent)
to 3.26% (4.66% tax-equivalent) at March 31, 2025.
Deposits. Total
deposits increased $61.0 million, or 7.7%, to $857.7 million at March 31, 2025 from $796.7 million at September 30, 2024.
The inflow in deposits occurred
in interest-bearing checking accounts, which increased $30.3 million, or 20.6%, to $177.0 million, in money market accounts, which increased
$22.5 million, or 7.4%, to $327.1 million, in certificates of deposit (including individual retirement accounts), which increased $6.1
million, or 3.8%, to $165.7 million, in savings accounts, which increased $1.7 million, or 3.2%, to $54.6 million and in non-interest
bearing checking accounts, which increased $462 thousand, or 0.4%, to $133.3 million.
Included with total deposit
at March 31, 2025 were $33.1 million in brokered deposits, compared with $29.6 million at September 30, 2024. The Company issued $3.8
million of five-year term certificates of deposit and had one redemption totaling $250 thousand during the six months ended March 31,
2025.
Uninsured deposits were approximately
$169.3 million and $122.3 million at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.
Borrowed Funds. Borrowings
increased $5.3 million, or 18.7%, to $33.9 million at March 31, 2025 from $28.6 million at September 30, 2024.
During the six months ended
March 31, 2025, the Company borrowed $6.9 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, of which $1.9 million was a zero-cost advance
for a three-year term and a $5.0 million was a four-year advance with an initial rate of 4.468% and an embedded 5.0% SOFR interest rate
cap. The borrowings were used to fund the Company’s loan growth and were offset by $1.5 million in principal repayment.
Stockholders’
Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $3.7 million, or 3.4%, to $114.3 million at March 31, 2025 from $110.5 million at
September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the results from operations, partially offset by dividends paid totaling $0.15 per
share and the repurchase of 37,486 shares during the six months ended March 31, 2025. The Company’s book value per share increased
to $17.65 at March 31, 2025 from $16.98 at September 30, 2024.
Average Balance Sheets for the Three and Six
Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
The following tables present
certain information regarding the Company’s financial condition and net interest income for the three and six months ended March
31, 2025 and 2024. The tables present the annualized average yield on interest-earning assets and the annualized average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities. We derived the yields and costs by dividing annualized income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. We derived average balances from daily balances over the period
indicated. Interest income includes fees that we consider adjustments to yields.

sheet credit losses were $70 thousand from growth in total loans receivable during the quarter. The Company reduced its allowance for
off-balance sheet credit losses by $100 thousand from a reduction in unfunded construction loan commitments during the quarter. Net recoveries

to $612 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $213 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company

increased $218 thousand, or 7.2%, to $3.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $3.0 million during the three months

increases.
Occupancy expenses increased
$46 thousand, or 5.7%, to $849 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $803 thousand during the three months ended
March 31, 2024 due to higher seasonal snow and ice removal.
Other expenses increased $38
thousand, or 6.8%, to $600 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $562 thousand during the three months ended March
31, 2024 primarily due to higher loan servicing costs.

compared with $526 thousand on pre-tax income of $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was driven by higher
pre-tax income as well as changes in deferred tax items that lowered the Company’s tax expense during the three months ended March
31, 2024. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 29.0% compared with 21.7% for the three
