ORGANIZATION Parke Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company, we, us, our”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Sewell, New Jersey. Through subsidiaries, the Company provides individuals, corporations and other businesses and institutions with commercial and retail banking services, principally loans and deposits. The Company was incorporated in January 2005 under the laws of the State of New Jersey for the sole purpose of becoming the holding company of Parke Bank (the "Bank"). The Bank is a commercial bank, which was incorporated on August 25, 1998, and commenced operations on January 28, 1999. The Bank is chartered by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The Bank also has a loan office located at 1817 East Venango Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Financial Statement Presentation: We prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Parke Bank (including certain partnership interests). Parke Capital Trust I, Parke Capital Trust II and Parke Capital Trust III are wholly-owned subsidiaries but are not consolidated as they do not meet the requirements for consolidation under applicable accounting guidance. We have eliminated inter-company balances and transactions. We have also reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The accompanying interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended December 31, 2024 . The accompanying interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 , was derived from the audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for such interim periods. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or any other period. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 reported amounts of revenues 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 include the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of deferred income taxes, and the carrying value of other real estate owned ("OREO"). 7 Table of Contents Segment Reporting: The Company operates one reportable segment of business, "community banking". Through its community banking segment, the Company provides a broad range of retail and community banking services. The accounting policies of the community banking segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, who decides how to allocate resources based on net income that also is reported on the income statement as consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. The following table presents segment profit and significant expenses.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES The following is a summary of the Company's investments in available for sale and held to maturity securities as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 . None of the securities shown below required an allowance for credit losses.

The Company did not sell any securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 . The following tables show the gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company's available for sale investments for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded, which are aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 : As of June 30, 2025 Less Than 12 Months 12 Months or Greater Total Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Description of Securities Value Losses Value Losses Value Losses (Dollars in thousand) Available for sale: Residential mortgage-backed securities $ 1 $ — $ 4,439 $ 344 $ 4,440 $ 344 Total available for sale $ 1 $ — $ 4,439 $ 344 $ 4,440 $ 344 As of December 31, 2024 Less Than 12 Months 12 Months or Greater Total Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Description of Securities Value Losses Value Losses Value Losses (Dollars in thousands) Available for sale: Residential mortgage-backed securities $ 80 $ 1 $ 4,973 $ 455 $ 5,053 $ 456 Total available for sale $ 80 $ 1 $ 4,973 $ 455 $ 5,053 $ 456 10 Table of Contents On at least a quarterly basis, we review all debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position for a credit loss. An investment security is deemed impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost. Amortized cost includes adjustments (if any) made to the cost basis of an investment for accretion, amortization, and previous other-than-temporary impairments. 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 allowance for credit losses. Impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recorded through other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The Company’s unrealized loss for the debt securities classified as available for sale is comprised of 1 security in the less than 12 months loss position and 14 securities in the 12 months or greater loss position at June 30, 2025 . These securities are mortgage-backed securities that had unrealized losses issued or guaranteed by the US government or US government sponsored entities. The unrealized losses associated with those mortgage-backed securities are generally driven by changes in interest rates and are not due to credit losses given the explicit or implicit guarantees provided by the U.S. government. Because the Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, the Company does not consider the unrealized loss in these securities to be credit losses at June 30, 2025 . The Company classifies the held-to-maturity debt securities into the following major security types: residential mortgage backed, and state and political subdivisions. These securities are highly rated with a history of no credit losses, and are assigned ratings based on the most recent data from ratings agencies depending on the availability of data for the security. Credit ratings of held-to-maturity debt securities, which are a significant input in calculating the expected credit loss, are reviewed on a quarterly basis. Based on the credit ratings of our held-to-maturity securities and our historical experience including no losses, we have determined that an allowance for credit loss on the held-to-maturity portfolio is not required. Because the Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, the Company does not consider the unrealized loss in these securities to be credit losses at June 30, 2025 .

The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted through the provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures was $ 1.2 million and $ 867.0 thousand, respectively, on exposures totaling $ 238.7 million and $ 172.2 million, respectively. The provision for credit losses on off balance sheet exposures during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $ 306.0 thousand and $ 439.0 thousand, and $ 379.7 thousand and $ 397.0 thousand, respectively. 13 Table of Contents Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL) The following tables present the information regarding the allowance for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 : Real Estate Mortgage Commercial Commercial Residential Commercial Owner Non-owner Residential 1 to 4 Family Residential and Industrial Construction Occupied Occupied 1 to 4 Family Investment Multifamily Consumer Total (Dollars in thousands) Three months ended June 30, 2025 March 31, 2025 $ 1,048 $ 2,275 $ 2,470 $ 7,361 $ 8,814 $ 8,855 $ 2,202 $ 66 $ 33,091 Charge-offs — — — — — — — — — Recoveries 1 — — — — — — — 1 Provisions (benefits) ( 58 ) 847 ( 432 ) 1,199 ( 443 ) ( 362 ) ( 61 ) ( 12 ) 678 Ending Balance at June 30, 2025 $ 991 $ 3,122 $ 2,038 $ 8,560 $ 8,371 $ 8,493 $ 2,141 $ 54 $ 33,770 Six months ended June 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 $ 1,097 $ 3,037 $ 1,871 $ 6,300 $ 9,166 $ 8,832 $ 2,203 $ 67 $ 32,573 Charge-offs — — — — — — — — — Recoveries 2 — — — — — — — 2 Provisions (benefits) ( 108 ) 85 167 2,260 ( 795 ) ( 339 ) ( 62 ) ( 13 ) 1,195 Ending Balance at June 30, 2025 $ 991 $ 3,122 $ 2,038 $ 8,560 $ 8,371 $ 8,493 $ 2,141 $ 54 $ 33,770 During the quarter, the increase to the Commercial Non-Owner Occupied, and the Construction portfolio's was due to an increase in the portfolio balances that increased the loan exposure and also caused changes to the qualitative factors related to concentration levels within the portfolio segments. The provision benefit during the quarter to the Commercial Owner Occupied, Residential 1 to 4 Family, and Residential 1 to 4 Family Investment portfolio segments is due to a decrease in the portfolio balance that decreased the loan exposure and also caused changes to the qualitative factors related to concentration levels within the portfolio segments. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 , the increase to the Commercial Non-Owner Occupied portfolio was due to an increase in the portfolio balance that increased the loan exposure and also caused changes to the qualitative factors related to concentration levels within the portfolio segment. The provision benefit during the six months ended June 30, 2025 to the Residential 1 to 4 Family segment is due to a decrease in the portfolio balance that decreased the loan exposure and also caused changes to the qualitative factors related to concentration levels within the portfolio segments.

The decrease to the Commercial Owner Occupied, Residential 1 to 4 Family, and the Residential Multifamily portfolios is driven by changes to the qualitative factors related to concentration levels within the portfolio segments. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 , the increase in the Construction and Residential Multifamily portfolios was due to increases in the portfolio balances that increased the loan exposure and also caused changes to the qualitative factors related to concentration levels within the portfolio segments. The increase in the Residential 1 to 4 Family Investment portfolio was due to increase to the qualitative factors related to concentration and problem loan levels within the portfolio segments. The decrease to the Commercial Owner Occupied and Commercial Non-owner Occupied portfolios was due to decreases in the portfolio balances that decreased the loan exposure and also caused changes to the qualitative factors related to concentration levels within the portfolio segments. 14 Table of Contents Collateral-Dependent Loans The following table presents the collateral-dependent loans by portfolio segment and collateral type at June 30, 2025 : Business (amounts in thousands) Real Estate Assets Other Commercial and Industrial $ 667 $ — $ — Construction 1,091 — — Commercial - Owner Occupied 400 — — Commercial - Non-owner Occupied 4,998 — — Residential - 1 to 4 Family 2,174 — — Residential - 1 to 4 Family Investment 1,867 — — Residential - Multifamily — — — Consumer — — — Total $ 11,197 $ — $ — The following table presents the collateral-dependent loans by portfolio segment and collateral type at December 31, 2024 : Business (amounts in thousands) Real Estate Assets Other Commercial and Industrial $ 684 $ — $ — Construction 1,091 — — Commercial - Owner Occupied 400 — — Commercial - Non-owner Occupied 5,195 — — Residential - 1 to 4 Family 2,794 — — Residential - 1 to 4 Family Investment 1,609 — — Residential - Multifamily — — — Consumer — — — Total $ 11,773 $ — $ — 15 Table of Contents Credit Quality Indicators : As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company's loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to the risk grades of loans, the level of classified loans, net charge-offs, nonperforming loans (see details above) and the general economic conditions in the region. The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 7. Grades 1 through 4 are considered “Pass”. A description of the general characteristics of the seven risk grades is as follows: 1. Good : Borrower exhibits the strongest overall financial condition and represents the most creditworthy profile. 2. Satisfactory (A) : Borrower reflects a well-balanced financial condition, demonstrates a high level of creditworthiness and typically will have a strong banking relationship with the Bank. 3. Satisfactory (B) : Borrower exhibits a balanced financial condition and does not expose the Bank to more than a normal or average overall amount of risk. Loans are considered fully collectable. 4. Watch List : Borrower reflects a fair financial condition, but there exists an overall greater than average risk. Risk is deemed acceptable by virtue of increased monitoring and control over borrowings. Probability of timely repayment is present. 5. Other Assets Especially Mentioned (OAEM) : Financial condition is such that assets in this category have a potential weakness or pose unwarranted financial risk to the Bank even though the asset value is not currently individually evaluated. The asset does not currently warrant adverse classification but if not corrected could weaken and could create future increased risk exposure. Includes loans that require an increased degree of monitoring or servicing as a result of internal or external changes. 6. Substandard : This classification represents more severe cases of #5 (OAEM) characteristics that require increased monitoring. Assets are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral. Asset has a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that impairs the ability to repay debt and jeopardizes the timely liquidation or realization of the collateral at the asset’s net book value. 7. Doubtful : Assets which have all the weaknesses inherent in those assets classified #6 (Substandard) but the risks are more severe relative to financial deterioration in capital and/or asset value; accounting/evaluation techniques may be questionable and the overall possibility for collection in full is highly improbable. Borrowers in this category require constant monitoring, are considered work-out loans and present the potential for future loss to the Bank. 16 Table of Contents The following tables provide an analysis of loans by portfolio segment based on the credit quality indicators used to determine the allowance for credit losses, as of June 30, 2025 .

NOTE 6. FAIR VALUE Fair Value Measurements The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions. In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its assets and liabilities carried at fair value in three levels as follows: Level 1 Input: 1 ) Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs: 1 ) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. 2 ) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. 3 ) Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the term of the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, prepayment speeds or volatilities) or “market corroborated inputs.” Level 3 Inputs: 1 ) Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity) and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. 2 ) These assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. 19 Table of Contents Fair Value on a Recurring Basis: The following is a description of the Company’s valuation methodologies for assets carried at fair value on a recurring basis. These methods may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting measurement date. Investments in Available for Sale Securities: Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities or other assets are classified in Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available for the specific security or available for sale loans, then fair values are provided by independent third -party valuation services. These valuation services estimate fair values using pricing models and other accepted valuation methodologies, such as quotes for similar securities and observable yield curves and spreads. As part of the Company’s overall valuation process, management evaluates these third -party methodologies to ensure that they are representative of exit prices in the Company’s principal markets. Securities in Level 2 are mortgage-backed securities. The table below presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Financial Assets Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in thousands) Available for Sale Securities As of June 30, 2025 Residential mortgage-backed securities $ — $ 4,917 $ — $ 4,917 Total $ — $ 4,917 $ — $ 4,917 As of December 31, 2024 Residential mortgage-backed securities $ — $ 5,551 $ — $ 5,551 Total $ — $ 5,551 $ — $ 5,551 For the six months ended June 30, 2025 , there were no transfers between the levels within the fair value hierarchy. There were no level 3 assets or liabilities held during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 . Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis: Certain assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Financial Assets Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (Dollars in thousands) As of June 30, 2025 Collateral-dependent loans $ — $ — $ 5,120 $ 5,120 OREO — — 1,562 1,562 As of December 31, 2024 Collateral-dependent loans $ — $ — $ 5,189 $ 5,189 OREO — — 1,562 1,562 Collateral-dependent loans are those loans that are accounted for under ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326" ), in which the Bank has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third -party appraisals of the properties that collateralize the loans. If the loan balance exceeds the fair value of the collateral, a specific reserve is applied and these assets are generally classified as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. OREO consists of real estate properties that are recorded at fair value based upon current appraised value, or agreements of sale, less estimated disposition costs using level 3 inputs. Properties are reappraised annually. 20 Table of Contents Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company discloses estimated fair values for its significant financial instruments in accordance with FASB ASC (Topic 825 ), “ Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ”. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. For certain financial assets and liabilities, carrying value approximates fair value due to the nature of the financial instrument. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, bank owned life insurance, Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") restricted stock, demand and other non-maturity deposits and accrued interest payable, and they are considered to be level 1 measurements. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and fair values for financial instruments that are not carried at fair value at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 : Carrying Fair Value June 30, 2025 Amount Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (Dollars in thousands) Financial Assets: Investment securities HTM $ 9,084 $ 7,451 $ — $ 7,451 $ — Loans, net 1,901,016 1,908,531 — 1,897,303 11,228 Financial Liabilities: Time deposits $ 588,952 $ 589,445 $ — $ 589,445 $ — Borrowings 143,395 143,917 — 143,917 — Carrying Fair Value December 31, 2024 Amount Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (Dollars in thousands) Financial Assets: Investment securities HTM $ 9,209 $ 7,492 $ — $ 7,492 $ — Loans, net 1,835,580 1,834,007 — 1,822,203 11,804 Financial Liabilities: Time deposits $ 715,158 $ 716,904 $ — $ 716,904 $ — Borrowings 188,300 189,621 — 189,621 — 21 Table of Contents NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in these particular classes of financial instruments. The Company’s exposure to the maximum possible credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. 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 the payment of a fee. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commitments to fund fixed-rate loans were immaterial at June 30, 2025 . Variable-rate commitments are generally issued for less than one year and carry market rates of interest. Such instruments are not likely to be affected by annual rate caps triggered by rising interest rates. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , unused commitments to extend credit amounted to approximately $ 161.9 million and $ 122.5 million, respectively. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures was $ 1.2 million and $ 867.0 thousand, respectively, an increase of $ 379.7 thousand, mainly due to the increase in the unused commitment balance. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , standby letters of credit with customers were $ 0.6 million and $ 0.6 million, respectively. On June 30, 2025, the Bank entered into an agreement with the FHLBNY for a Municipal Letter of Credit ("MLOC") of $ 60.0 million. The MLOC is used to pledge against public deposits and the MLOC expires on September 30, 2025. There were no outstanding borrowings on the letters of credit as of June 30, 2025 . The Company also has entered into an employment contract with the President of the Company, which provides for continued payment of certain employment salary and benefits prior to the expiration date of the agreement and in the event of a change in control, as defined. The Company has also entered in Change-in-Control Severance Agreements with certain officers which provide for the payment of severance in certain circumstances following a change in control. We provide banking services to customers that are licensed by various States to do business in the cannabis industry as growers, processors and dispensaries. Cannabis businesses are legal in these States, although they are not legal at the federal level. The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) published guidelines in 2014 for financial institutions servicing state legal cannabis businesses. A financial institution that provides services to cannabis-related businesses can comply with Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) disclosure standards by following the FinCEN guidelines. We maintain stringent written policies and procedures related to the acceptance of such businesses and to the monitoring and maintenance of such business accounts. We conduct a significant due diligence review of the cannabis business before the business is accepted, including confirmation that the business is properly licensed by the applicable state. Throughout the relationship, we continue monitoring the business, including site visits, to ensure that the business continues to meet our stringent requirements, including maintenance of required licenses and periodic financial reviews of the business. While we believe we are operating in compliance with the FinCEN guidelines, there can be no assurance that federal enforcement guidelines will not change. Federal prosecutors have significant discretion and there can be no assurance that the federal prosecutors will not choose to strictly enforce the federal laws governing cannabis. Any change in the Federal government’s enforcement position, could cause us to immediately cease providing banking services to the cannabis industry. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , deposit balances from cannabis customers were approximately $ 221.0 million and $ 151.9 million, or 13.1 % and 9.3 % of total deposits, respectively, with two customers accounting for 70.5 % and 59.3 % of the total at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 . At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , there were cannabis-related loans in the amounts of $ 46.3 million and $ 43.4 million, respectively. NOTE 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 15, 2025, the Company fully redeemed the 6.5 % Fixed to Floating Rate Notes (the “Subordinated Debt”) at a redemption price of 100 % of the principal amount thereof, or $ 30 million, including the interest accrued on such principal amount up to the redemption date. After the redemption, the outstanding principal balance on the Subordinated Debt has been reduced to zero . 22 Table of Contents
