Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Seneca Financial Corp. (the “Company”) is a federally chartered mid-tier stock holding company and was formed in connection with the conversion of Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association (the “Bank”) into the mutual holding company form of organization in October 2017, and it is a subsidiary of Seneca Financial MHC (the “Mutual Holding Company”), a federally chartered mutual holding company. The Mutual Holding Company activity is not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Seneca Savings, formerly known as Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The same directors and officers, who manage the Bank, also manage the Company and the Mutual Holding Company. On May 8, 2025, the Board of Directors adopted a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization, pursuant to which the Mutual Holding Company will undertake a “second step” conversion from the mutual holding company structure to the stock holding company structure. In connection with the second step conversion, the Bank is seeking regulatory approval to convert its charter to a national bank that will be renamed “Seneca Savings Bank, National Association.” Upon completion of the conversion and stock offering, the Mutual Holding Company and the Company will cease to exist and Seneca Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation, will become the successor holding company to the Company and will become the stock holding company of the Bank. The conversion will be accomplished by the merger of the Mutual Holding Company with and into the Company, followed by the merger of the Company with and into Seneca Bancorp, Inc. The Mutual Holding Company currently owns approximately 58.1 % of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The proposed transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approval, approval by the members of the Mutual Holding Company (i.e., depositors and certain borrowers of the Bank), and approval by the stockholders of the Company, including by a separate vote of approval by the Company’s minority stockholders. Seneca Savings maintains its executive offices and main branch in Baldwinsville, New York, with branches in Liverpool, North Syracuse, Manlius and Bridgeport, New York. The Bank is a community-oriented savings and loan institution whose business primarily consists of accepting deposits from customers within its market area and investing those funds primarily in residential mortgage and commercial loans. ​ The financial information included herein as of June 30, 2025 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is unaudited. However, in management’s opinion, the information reflects all normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation. The results shown for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any other period. ​ ​ 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Adoption of New Accounting Standards In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09 - Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to provide more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures. Specifically, the update requires enhancements to the rate reconciliation, including disclosure of specific categories and additional information for reconciling items meeting a quantitative threshold, and greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures related to income taxes paid. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Other than meeting the new disclosure requirements, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 – Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to improve the reportable segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. In addition, the amendments will enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment and contain other disclosure requirements. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating 10 Table of Contents segments or determines its reportable segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Other than meeting the new disclosure requirements, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments in this ASU require disclosure, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this will have on the consolidated financial statements. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Seneca Savings Insurance Agency, Inc. dba Financial Quest (“Quest”). Quest offers financial planning and investment advisory services and sells various insurance and investment products through broker networks. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company, as used in the consolidated financial statements, refers to the consolidated group. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be significant. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, deferred tax assets, the assumptions used in the actuarial valuation and the estimation of fair values for accounting and disclosure purposes. The Company is subject to the regulations of various governmental agencies. The Company also undergoes periodic examinations by the regulatory agencies which may subject it to further changes with respect to asset valuations, amounts of required loss allowances, and operating restrictions resulting from the regulators’ judgements based on information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Loan Origination/Risk Management The Company has lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by frequently providing management with reports related to loan production, loan quality, loan delinquencies, non-performing and potential problem loans. Diversification in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions. 14 Table of Contents Risk Characteristics of Portfolio Segments The risk characteristics within the loan portfolio vary depending on the loan segment. Consumer loans generally are repaid from personal sources of income. Risks associated with consumer loans primarily include general economic risks such as declines in the local economy creating higher rates of unemployment. Those conditions may also lead to a decline in collateral values should the Company be required to repossess the collateral securing consumer loans. These economic risks also impact the commercial loan segment, however commercial loans are considered to have greater risk than consumer loans as the primary source of repayment is from the cash flow of the business customer. Real estate loans, including residential mortgages, manufactured housing, commercial and home equity loans, comprise approximately 86.5 % (unaudited) and 85.8 % of the portfolio at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Loans secured by real estate provide the best collateral protection and thus significantly reduce the inherent risk in the portfolio. Management has reviewed its loan portfolio and determined that, to the best of its knowledge, little or no exposure exists to sub-prime or other high-risk residential mortgages. The Company is not in the practice of originating these types of loans. Description of Credit Quality Indicators Real estate, commercial and consumer loans are assigned a “Pass” rating unless the loan has demonstrated signs of weakness as indicated by the ratings below: · Special Mention: The relationship is protected but are potentially weak. These assets may constitute an undue and unwarranted credit risk but not to the point of justifying a substandard rating. All loans 60 days past-due are classified Special Mention. The loan is not upgraded until it has been current for six consecutive months. · Substandard: The relationship is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledge, if any. Assets so classified have a well-defined weakness or a weakness that jeopardized the liquidation of the debt. All loans 90 days past-due are classified Substandard. A loan is not upgraded until it has been current for six consecutive months. · Doubtful/Loss: Loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as bankable assets are not warranted. It is not practicable or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be possible in the future. The risk ratings are evaluated at least annually for commercial loans or when credit deficiencies arise, such as delinquent loan payments, for commercial, real estate or consumer loans. ​ 15 Table of

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 closely monitors the performance of the loans that are modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. Loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty did not have payment default during the the six months ended June 30, 2025 (unaudited) or the year ended December 31, 2024. 20 Table of Contents Changes in the allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ June 30, 2025 ​ ​ Unaudited ​ ​ (In thousands) ​ ​ Mortgage ​ Commercial ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Loans ​ and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ on Real ​ Industrial ​ Consumer ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Estate Loans Loans Unallocated Total Allowance for credit losses: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Beginning balance ​ $ 1,071 ​ $ 372 ​ $ 144 ​ $ 217 ​ $ 1,804 Charge-offs ​ — ​ ( 655 ) ​ ( 23 ) ​ — ​ ( 678 ) Recoveries ​ — ​ 2 ​ 2 ​ — ​ 4 Provision ​ 142 ​ 718 ​ ( 3 ) ​ ( 236 ) ​ 621 Ending balance ​ $ 1,213 ​ $ 437 ​ $ 120 ​ $ ( 19 ) ​ $ 1,751 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ June 30, 2024 ​ ​ Unaudited ​ ​ (In thousands) ​ ​ Mortgage ​ Commercial ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Loans ​ and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ on Real ​ Industrial ​ Consumer ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Estate Loans Loans Unallocated Total Allowance for credit losses: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Beginning balance $ 1,218 $ 325 $ 93 $ 409 $ 2,045 Charge-offs ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 8 ) ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 8 ) Recoveries ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Provision ​ ​ ( 111 ) ​ ​ 142 ​ ​ 59 ​ ​ ( 75 ) ​ ​ 15 Ending balance $ 1,107 $ 467 $ 144 $ 334 $ 2,052 ​ Changes in the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ June 30, 2025 ​ ​ (In thousands) ​ ​ Mortgage ​ Commercial ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Loans ​ and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ on Real ​ Industrial ​ Consumer ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Estate Loans Loans Unallocated Total Allowance for credit losses: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Beginning balance ​ $ 1,175 ​ $ 546 ​ $ 121 ​ $ — ​ $ 1,842 Charge-offs ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 601 ) ​ ​ ( 1 ) ​ ​ — ​ ​ ( 602 ) Recoveries ​ — ​ — — ​ — ​ — Provision ​ 38 ​ ​ 492 ​ ​ — ​ ( 19 ) ​ 511 Ending balance ​ $ 1,213 ​ $ 437 ​ 120 ​ $ ( 19 ) ​ $ 1,751 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ June 30, 2024 ​ ​ (In thousands) ​ ​ Mortgage ​ Commercial ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Loans ​ and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ on Real ​ Industrial ​ Consumer ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Estate Loans Loans Unallocated Total Allowance for credit losses: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Beginning balance ​ $ 1,132 $ 406 $ 91 $ 423 $ 2,052 Charge-offs ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Recoveries ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Provision ​ ( 25 ) ​ ​ 61 ​ ​ 53 ​ ​ ( 89 ) ​ ​ — Ending balance ​ $ 1,107 ​ $ 467 ​ 144 ​ $ 334 ​ $ 2,052 ​ 21 Table of Contents In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes loans to its directors and officers, including their families and companies in which certain directors are principal owners.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) Beginning in 2016, the Company instituted a SERP for its executive officers. All benefits provided under the SERP are unfunded and, as the executive officers retire, the Company will make a payment to the participant. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $ 206,000 (unaudited) and $ 194,000 , for the SERP in other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Expenses for the SERP are included in compensation and employee benefits on the consolidated statements of income and were approximately $ 6,299 (unaudited) and $ 17,468 (unaudited), respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and $ 12,597 and $ 23,291 , respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Defined Benefit Plan The Company provides pension benefits for eligible employees through a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”). Substantially all employees participate in the retirement plan on a noncontributing basis and are fully vested after five years of service. On October 13, 2017, the Compensation Committee elected to soft-freeze the defined benefit pension plan effective January 1, 2018. All employees hired after that date will not be eligible to participate in the defined benefit pension plan; they will, however, be able to participate in a 401k plan that the Company will match up to 50 % of the employee elected contribution amount capped at 5 % of the employee’s earnings. Expense for the 401k is included in the compensation and employee benefits on the consolidated statement of income and was $ 22,440 (unaudited) and $ 32,566 (unaudited), respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and $ 41,041 (unaudited) and $ 42,543 (unaudited), respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (“ESOP”) Effective upon the completion of the Company’s initial public stock offering in October 2017, the Bank established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) for all eligible employees. The ESOP used $ 775,740 in proceeds from a term loan obtained from the Company to purchase 77,574 shares of common stock on the open market at an average price of  $ 10.00 per share. The ESOP loan will be repaid principally from the Bank’s contribution to the ESOP in annual payments through 2047 at a fixed interest rate of 4.25 %. Shares are released to participants on a straight-line basis over the loan term and allocated based on participant compensation. The Bank recognizes compensation benefit expense as shares are committed for release at their current market price. The difference between the market price and the cost of shares committed to be released is recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Dividends on allocated shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings and dividends on unallocated shares are recorded as a reduction of debt. The Company recognized approximately $ 4,467 (unaudited) and $ 6,038 (unaudited) of compensation expense related to this plan for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and $ 8,934 (unaudited) and $ 12,076 (unaudited) of compensation expense related to this plan for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 respectively. At June 30, 2025, there were 59,650 (unaudited) shares not yet released having an aggregate market value of approximately $ 640,270 (unaudited). Participant vesting provisions for the ESOP are 20 % per year and will be fully vested upon completion of six years of credited service. Eligible employees who were employed with the Bank shall receive credit for vesting purposes for each year of continuous employment prior to adoption of the ESOP. 26 Table of Contents STOCK BASED COMPENSATION A summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information for its equity incentive plan for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the three months ended June 30, ​ ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ ​ Weighted ​ Weighted ​ ​ ​ ​ Average ​ ​ ​ Average ​ ​ ​ ​ Exercise ​ ​ Exercise ​ ​ ​ ​ Price Per ​ ​ ​ Price Per ​ ​ Options ​ Share ​ Options ​ Share ​ ​ Unaudited Outstanding at the beginning of the period 60,960 ​ $ 9.27 60,960 ​ $ 9.27 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Grants: — ​ — — ​ — Exercised — ​ — — ​ — Forfeitures — ​ — — ​ — Outstanding at period end 60,960 ​ $ 9.27 60,960 ​ $ 9.27 Vested at end of period 55,820 ​ $ 9.27 50,640 ​ $ 9.27 Exercisable 55,820 ​ $ 9.27 50,640 ​ $ 9.27 ​ A summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information for its equity incentive plan for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the six months ended June 30, ​ ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ ​ Weighted ​ Weighted ​ ​ ​ ​ Average ​ ​ Average ​ ​ ​ ​ Exercise ​ ​ ​ Exercise ​ ​ ​ ​ Price Per ​ ​ ​ Price Per ​ ​ Options ​ Share ​ Options ​ Share Outstanding at the beginning of the period 60,960 ​ $ 9.27 62,980 ​ $ 9.27 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Grants: — ​ — — ​ — Exercised — ​ — — ​ — Forfeitures — ​ $ — ( 2,020 ) ​ ( 9.18 ) Outstanding at period end 60,960 ​ $ 9.27 60,960 ​ $ 9.27 Vested at end of year 55,820 ​ $ 9.27 50,640 ​ $ 9.27 Exercisable 55,820 ​ $ 9.27 50,640 ​ $ 9.27 ​ The intrinsic value of options outstanding at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is $ 92,972 (unaudited), $ 2,960 rspectively. The grants to senior management and directors vest over a five-year period in equal installments, with the first installment vesting on the anniversary date of the grant and succeeding installments on each anniversary thereafter, through 2028. The compensation expense of the awards is based on the fair value of the instruments on the date of the grant and no options are available to be exercised at each year end. The Company recorded compensation expense in the amount of $ 4,274 (unaudited) and $ 9,755 (unaudited) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 respectively and $ 8,548 (unaudited) $ 19,510 (unaudited) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 202 respectively. The Company had $ 19,423 (unaudited) of compensation expense remaining to be recognized at June 30, 2025. 27 Table of Contents Compensation costs related to share-based payments transactions are recognized based on the grant-date fair value of the stock-based compensation issued. Compensation costs are recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. Compensation costs related to the employee stock ownership plan are dependent upon the average stock price and the shares committed to be released to the plan participants through the period in which income is reported. In May 2023 and 2022 the Company awarded 12,000 shares of restricted stock awards to senior management, respectively. The restricted stock vests 20 % per year on the specified vesting date, until 100 % vested on the specified vesting date of the fifth year after the restricted stock was granted. The Company recorded compensation expense in the amount of $ 11,488 (unaudited) and $ 11,488 (unaudited) for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, $ 22,896 (unaudited) and $ 22,896 (unaudited) for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company has $ 108,126 (unaudited) of compensation expenses remaining to be recognized at June 30, 2025. The Company did not have any awards granted, vested, or forfeited during the three or six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (unaudited). 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all assets and liabilities, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year-ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each year-end. Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities. Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported with little or no market activity). An asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used are as follows: 28 Table of Contents There were no securities transferred out of Level 2 securities available-for-sale during the six months ended June 30, 2025 or during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 ​ ​ (In thousands) Available-for-sale Securities: ​ ​ ​ ​ June 30, 2025 (unaudited): ​ ​ ​ ​ U.S. Treasury securities ​ $ 18,682 ​ $ — ​ $ 18,682 ​ $ — U.S. Government Agency securities ​ 869 ​ — ​ 869 ​ — Municipal securities ​ 13,831 ​ — ​ 13,380 ​ 451 Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations ​ 5,538 ​ — ​ 5,538 ​ — Corporate securities ​ 9,677 ​ — ​ 9,677 ​ — ​ ​ $ 48,597 ​ $ — ​ $ 48,146 ​ $ 451 December 31, 2024: ​ ​ ​ ​ U.S. Treasury securities ​ $ 15,811 ​ $ — ​ $ 15,811 ​ $ — U.S. Government Agency securities ​ 838 ​ — ​ 838 ​ — Municipal securities ​ 14,281 ​ — ​ 14,281 ​ — Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations ​ 5,755 ​ — ​ 5,755 ​ — Corporate securities ​ 9,799 ​ — ​ 9,799 ​ — ​ ​ $ 46,484 ​ $ — ​ $ 46,484 ​ $ — ​ Required disclosures include fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents The carrying amounts of these assets approximate their fair values. Securities Available-For-Sale The fair value of securities available-for-sale (carried at fair value) are determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices and is a Level 2 measurement. See note 3 for Level 3 valuation methodology. Investment in FHLBNY Stock The carrying value of FHLBNY stock approximates its fair value based on the redemption provisions of the FHLBNY stock, resulting in a Level 2 classification. 29 Table of Contents Loans, Net The fair values of loans held in portfolio are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loans, resulting in a Level 3 classification. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments, and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable and Advances from Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance The carrying amount approximates fair value. Deposits The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., NOW accounts, non-interest checking, regular savings and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts), resulting in a Level 1 classification. The carrying amounts for variable-rate certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date, resulting in a Level 1 classification. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits, resulting in a Level 2 classification. Advances and Borrowings from FHLB The fair values of FHLB long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the quoted rates for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity, resulting in a Level 2 classification. 30 Table of Contents The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value ​ Carrying ​ Fair ​ Hierarchy Amount Value ​ ​ (In thousands) June 30, 2025 (Unaudited): ​ ​ Financial assets: ​ ​ Cash and cash equivalents Level 1 ​ $ 12,830 ​ $ 12,830 Securities available-for-sale, net of allowance for credit losses of $ 498 Level 2/3 ​ 48,597 ​ 48,597 Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock, at cost Level 2 ​ 3,453 ​ 3,453 Loans, net of allowance for credit losses of $ 1,751 Level 3 ​ 209,597 ​ 197,894 Accrued interest receivable Level 1 ​ 1,370 ​ 1,370 Financial liabilities: ​ ​ ​ Deposits Level 1/2 ​ 228,817 ​ 209,443 Federal Home Loan Bank advances Level 2 ​ 40,567 ​ 40,567 Accrued interest payable Level 1 ​ 153 ​ 153 Advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance Level 1 ​ 3,008 ​ 3,008 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, 2024: ​ ​ Financial assets: ​ ​ Cash and cash equivalents Level 1 ​ $ 6,788 ​ $ 6,788 Securities available-for-sale, net of allowance for credit losses of $ 498 Level 2/3 ​ 46,484 ​ 46,484 Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock, at cost Level 2 ​ 3,361 ​ 3,361 Loans, net of allowance for credit losses of $ 1,804 Level 3 ​ 202,429 ​ 189,034 Accrued interest receivable Level 1 ​ 1,247 ​ 1,247 Financial liabilities: ​ ​ Deposits Level 1/2 ​ 210,571 ​ 187,395 Federal Home Loan Bank advances Level 2 ​ 41,253 ​ 41,253 Accrued interest payable Level 1 ​ 146 ​ 146 Advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance Level 1 ​ 2,349 ​ 2,349 ​ Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis In addition to disclosure of the fair value of assets on a recurring basis, ASC Topic 820 requires disclosures for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired assets and foreclosed real estate. Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Company records nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of these loans. Nonrecurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated as required by ASC Topic 310, “Receivables — Loan Impairment ” when establishing the allowance for credit losses. Impaired loans are those in which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral less estimated selling costs. Fair value of real estate collateral is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, which consider sales prices of similar properties in the proximate vicinity or by discounting expected cash flows from the properties by an appropriate risk adjusted discount rate. Management may adjust the appraised values as deemed appropriate. Fair values of collateral other than real estate is based on an estimate of the liquidation proceeds. Impaired loans and foreclosed real estate are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The fair value consists of the asset balances net of a valuation allowance. Assets taken in foreclosure of defaulted loans generally measured at the lower cost or fair value less costs to sell. The fair value of the real property is generally determined using appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable in the marketplace, and the related nonrecurring fair value measurement adjustments have generally been classified as Level 3. 31 Table of Contents For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 ​ (In thousands) June 30, 2025 (Unaudited): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Collateral-dependent loans ​ $ 708 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 708 ​ ​ $ 708 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 708 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, 2024: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Collateral-dependent loans ​ $ 652 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 652 ​ ​ $ 652 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 652 ​ The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and for which Level 3 inputs were used to determine fair value: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Adjustment ​ Valuation Unobservable ​ (Weighted- ​ ​ Techniques ​ Input ​ Range ​ average) Collateral-dependent loans Lower of appraisal Appraisal 10 %- 55 % ​ ( 26 %) 2025 ​ of collateral or adjustments ​ 10% ( 10 %) 2024 ​ asking priceless ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ selling costs ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Selling costs 7 %- 14 % ​ ( 10 %) 2025 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 8 %- 13 % ​ ( 10 %) 2024 ​ At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value consists of loan balances of $ 708,000 (unaudited) and $ 652,000 , net of a valuation allowance of  $ 0 (unaudited) and $ 0 . 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is at times, and in the ordinary course of business, subject to legal actions. Management believes that losses, if any, resulting from current legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. 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 involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market, and interest rate risk more than the amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. As of the dates indicated, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ June 30, ​ ​ December 31, ​ ​ ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ ​ Unaudited ​ ​ Commitments to Grant Loans ​ $ 265 ​ $ 787 ​ Performance Standby Letters of Credit ​ $ 127 ​ $ 127 ​ Unfunded Commitments Under Lines of Credit ​ $ 28,695 ​ $ 27,066 ​ ​ 32 Table of Contents Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer if there is no violation of any conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit are uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed. Allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments was immaterial at June 30, 2025 (unaudited) and December 31, 2024. 12. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators, which if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. As a result of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, the federal banking agencies were required to develop a “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” (the ratio of a Bank’s Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets) for financial institutions with assets of less than $10 billion. A “qualifying community bank” that exceeds this ratio will be deemed to be in compliance with all other capital and leverage requirements, including the capital requirements to be considered “well capitalized” under Prompt Corrective Action statutes. The federal banking agencies may consider a financial institution’s risk profile when evaluating whether it qualifies as a community bank for purposes of the capital ratio requirement. A financial institution can elect to be subject to this new definition. The federal banking agencies set the minimum capital for the Community Bank Leverage Ratio at 9.00%. The Bank elected to adopt the Community Bank Leverage Ratio as of June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2025, the most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratios (Community Bank Leverage Ratio) as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ To be Well ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Capitalized ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Under Prompt and ​ Minimum Capital ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Capital Adequacy ​ Corrective Action ​ Adequacy with ​ ​ Actual ​ Purposes ​ Provisions ​ Buffer ​ Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ​ ​ (In thousands) As of June 30, 2025 (Unaudited): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Tier 1 capital to assets ​ $ 26,736 9.41 % $ 22,735 8.00 % $ 25,577 9.00 % N/A N/A As of December 31, 2024: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Tier 1 capital to assets ​ $ 26,556 9.73 % $ 21,823 8.00 % $ 24,551 9.00 % N/A N/A ​ ​ 13. EARNINGS PER SHARE COMMON Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Net income available to common stockholders is net income to the Company. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had 13,029 and 219 potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had 11,831 and 725 potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are not included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per common share until they are committed to be released. Antidilutive share are not include in the weighted-average number of common share outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per common shares until they become dilutive. 33 Table of Contents The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months ended ​ ​ June 30, (Dollars in Thousands Except per Share Data) 2025 2024 ​ ​ Unaudited Basic earnings (loss) per common share: ​ ​ Net income (loss) available to common stockholders ​ $ ( 196 ) ​ $ 176 Weighted average common shares outstanding basic ​ 1,756,025 ​ 1,763,441 Weighted average common shares outstanding dilutive ​ 1,773,705 ​ 1,763,660 Earnings (loss) per share basic ​ $ ( 0.11 ) ​ $ 0.10 Earnings (loss) per share dilutive ​ $ ( 0.11 ) ​ $ 0.10 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Six months ended June 30, (Dollars in Thousands Except per Share Data) 2025 2024 Basic earnings (loss) per common share: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net income (loss) available to common stockholders ​ $ ( 48 ) ​ $ 282 Weighted average common shares outstanding basic ​ 1,760,676 ​ 1,763,120 Weighted average common shares outstanding dilutive ​ 1,772,507 ​ 1,763,845 Earnings (loss) per share basic ​ $ ( 0.03 ) ​ $ 0.16 Earnings (loss) per share dilutive ​ $ ( 0.03 ) ​ $ 0.16 ​ ​ 14.

Fee waivers are discretionary and usually reversed within the same reporting period as assessed. · Fee income — Fee income is earned through commissions and is satisfied over the time which the fee has been assessed. · Card income and insufficient funds fees — Card income consists of interchange fees from consumer debit card networks and other card related services. Interchange rates are set by the card networks. Interchange fees are based on purchase volumes and other factors and are recognized as transactions occur. Insufficient funds fees are satisfied at the time the charge is assessed to the customer’s account. 15. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has two primary business segments, its community banking franchise, and its wealth management agency. The community banking segment provides financial services to consumers and businesses principally in the Greater Syracuse Area and Onondaga County of New York State. These services include providing various types of loans to customers, accepting deposits, mortgage banking, and other traditional banking services. Parent company income is included in the community-banking segment, as the majority of effort for these functions is related to this segment. Major revenue sources include net interest income and service fees on deposit accounts. Expenses include personnel and branch-network support charges. The wealth management agency segment offers individual investment management for individuals in the Greater Syracuse Area. The primary revenue source is commissions from 401(k) management and brokered accounts. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM evaluates the financial performance of the Company’s components such as evaluating revenue streams, significant expenses, and budget to actual results in assessing the performance of the Company’s segments in the determination of allocating resources. Financial information regarding each significant segment expense outlined below is regularly provided (at least monthly) to the CODM. For the community banking segment, interest expense is a significant segment expense. Additionally, for each of the two reportable segments, compensation and employee benefits are significant segment expenses. 35 Table of Contents Information about the segments is presented in the following table as of and for the years ended (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Reconciliation of Assets June 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 ​ ​ Unaudited ​ ​ ​ ​ Total assets for Seneca Savings ​ $ 298,210 ​ $ 280,030 ​ Total assets for Financial Quest ​ 1,123 ​ 1,183 Elimination of intercompany receivables ​ ( 273 ) ​ ( 274 ) Total consolidated assets ​ $ 299,060 ​ $ 280,939 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended June 30, ​ ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ Seneca Savings Financial Quest Total Seneca Savings Financial Quest Total ​ ​ Unaudited INTEREST INCOME ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total interest income ​ $ 3,595 ​ $ — ​ $ 3,595 ​ $ 3,336 ​ $ — ​ $ 3,336 INTEREST EXPENSE ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total interest expense ​ 1,364 ​ — ​ 1,364 ​ 1,365 ​ — ​ 1,365 Net Interest Income ​ 2,231 ​ ​ — ​ 2,231 ​ 1,971 ​ — ​ 1,971 Provision for credit losses available-for-sale securities ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — Provision for credit losses loans receivable ​ 511 ​ — ​ 511 ​ — ​ — ​ — Net interest income after provision for credit losses ​ 1,720 ​ — ​ 1,720 ​ 1,971 ​ — ​ 1,971 NONINTEREST INCOME ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Service fees ​ 33 ​ — ​ 33 ​ 30 ​ — ​ 30 Income from financial services ​ — ​ 240 ​ 240 ​ — ​ 218 ​ 218 Fee income ​ 218 ​ 8 ​ 226 ​ 186 ​ 9 ​ 195 Net gains on sale of residential mortgage loans ​ 32 ​ — ​ 32 ​ 20 ​ — ​ 20 Total noninterest income ​ 283 ​ 248 ​ 531 ​ 236 ​ 227 ​ 463 NONINTEREST EXPENSE ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Compensation and employee benefits ​ 1,268 ​ 119 ​ 1,387 ​ 1,075 ​ 105 ​ 1,180 Core processing ​ 375 ​ — ​ 375 ​ 366 ​ — ​ 366 Premises and equipment ​ 216 ​ 6 ​ 222 ​ 167 ​ 6 ​ 173 Professional fees ​ 106 ​ — ​ 106 ​ 109 ​ — ​ 109 Postage & office supplies ​ 29 ​ — ​ 29 ​ 19 ​ 1 ​ 20 FDIC premiums ​ 34 ​ — ​ 34 ​ 31 ​ — ​ 31 Advertising ​ 82 ​ 3 ​ 85 ​ 88 ​ 5 ​ 93 Director fees ​ 37 ​ — ​ 37 ​ 38 ​ 2 ​ 40 Other ​ 155 ​ 52 ​ 207 ​ 158 ​ 51 ​ 209 Total noninterest expense ​ 2,302 ​ 180 ​ 2,482 ​ 2,051 ​ 170 ​ 2,221 Income before provision for income taxes ​ ( 299 ) ​ 68 ​ ( 231 ) ​ 156 ​ ​ 57 ​ ​ 213 PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES ​ ( 35 ) ​ — ​ ( 35 ) ​ 37 ​ — ​ 37 Net income ​ $ ( 264 ) ​ $ 68 ​ $ ( 196 ) ​ $ 119 ​ $ 57 ​ $ 176 ​ ​ 36 Table of Contents ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Six Months Ended June 30, ​ ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ Seneca Savings Financial Quest Total Seneca Savings Financial Quest Total INTEREST INCOME ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total interest income ​ $ 7,032 ​ $ — ​ $ 7,032 ​ $ 6,475 ​ $ — ​ $ 6,475 INTEREST EXPENSE ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total interest expense ​ 2,673 ​ — ​ 2,673 ​ 2,610 ​ — ​ 2,610 Net interest income ​ 4,359 ​ — ​ 4,359 ​ 3,865 ​ — ​ 3,865 Provision for credit losses available-for-sale securities ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ — Provision for credit losses loans receivable ​ 621 ​ — ​ 621 ​ 15 ​ — ​ 15 Net interest income after provision for credit losses ​ 3,738 ​ — ​ 3,738 ​ 3,850 ​ — ​ 3,850 NONINTEREST INCOME ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Service fees ​ 65 ​ — ​ 65 ​ 61 ​ — ​ 61 Income from financial services ​ — ​ 464 ​ 464 ​ — ​ 423 ​ 423 Fee income ​ 354 ​ 16 ​ 370 ​ 325 ​ 16 ​ 341 Gain on sale of fixed assets ​ — ​ — ​ — ​ 6 ​ — ​ 6 Earnings on bank-owned life insurance ​ 52 ​ — ​ 52 ​ 22 ​ ​ ​ 22 Net gain/(loss) on sales of available-for-sale securities ​ 1 ​ — ​ 1 ​ ​ — ​ — ​ — Net gains on sale of residential mortgage loans ​ 65 ​ — ​ 65 ​ 22 ​ — ​ 22 Total noninterest income ​ 537 ​ 480 ​ 1,017 ​ 436 ​ 439 ​ 875 NONINTEREST EXPENSE ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Compensation and employee benefits ​ 2,438 ​ 235 ​ 2,673 ​ 2,188 ​ 207 ​ 2,395 Core processing ​ 711 ​ — ​ 711 ​ 730 ​ — ​ 730 Premises and equipment ​ 433 ​ 12 ​ 445 ​ 369 ​ 12 ​ 381 Professional fees ​ 163 ​ — ​ 163 ​ 131 ​ — ​ 131 Postage & office supplies ​ 57 ​ 1 ​ 58 ​ 55 ​ 1 ​ 56 FDIC premiums ​ 67 ​ — ​ 67 ​ 60 ​ — ​ 60 Advertising ​ 179 ​ 4 ​ 183 ​ 175 ​ 5 ​ 180 Director fees ​ 84 ​ 1 ​ 85 ​ 85 ​ 3 ​ 88 Other ​ ​ 322 ​ ​ 102 ​ ​ 424 ​ ​ 273 ​ ​ 99 ​ ​ 372 Total noninterest expense ​ ​ 4,454 ​ ​ 355 ​ ​ 4,809 ​ ​ 4,066 ​ ​ 327 ​ ​ 4,393 Income before provision for income taxes ​ ​ ( 179 ) ​ ​ 125 ​ ​ ( 54 ) ​ ​ 220 ​ ​ 112 ​ ​ 332 PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES ​ ( 6 ) ​ — ​ ( 6 ) ​ 50 ​ — ​ 50 Net income ​ $ ( 173 ) ​ $ 125 ​ $ ( 48 ) ​ $ 170 ​ $ 112 ​ $ 282 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 37 Table of Contents Item 2.

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: ● the proposed conversion of Seneca Financial Corp. and Seneca Financial MHC from the mutual holding company form of organization to the stock holding company form of organization, pursuant to which the Company will become the bank holding company for Seneca Savings Bank, National Association, remains subject to final regulatory approvals, approval by the members of Seneca Financial MHC and the stockholders of Seneca Financial Corp., and other closing conditions, and the conversion may not be timely completed, if at all; ● inflation, tariffs and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins and yields, the fair value of financial instruments or our level of loan originations, or increase the level of defaults, losses and prepayments on loans we have made and make; ● general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected; ● events involving the failure of financial institutions may adversely affect our business, and the market price of our common stock; ● 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; 38 Table of Contents ● fluctuations in real estate values and both residential and commercial real estate market conditions; ● demand for loans and deposits in our market area; ● our ability to implement and change our business strategies; ● competition among depository and other financial institutions; ● adverse changes in the securities or secondary mortgage markets, including our ability to sell loans in the secondary market; ● changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements; ● 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 security systems or infrastructure, including cyberattacks; ● our ability to manage market risk, credit risk and operational risk in the current economic environment; ● our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; ● our ability to successfully integrate into our operations any assets, liabilities, customers, systems and management personnel we may acquire and our ability to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames, and any goodwill charges related thereto; ● changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; ● changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the 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; ● any future FDIC insurance premium increases or special assessments may adversely affect our earnings; ● our ability to prevent or mitigate fraudulent activity; ● our ability to evaluate the amount and timing of recognition of future tax assets and liabilities; ● political instability or civil unrest; ● acts of war or terrorism or public health emergencies such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic; ● our ability to control operating costs and expenses, including compensation expense associated with equity allocated or awarded to our employees; ● changes in the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own; and 39 Table of Contents ● our inability to sell our foreclosed assets, net at an amount equal to or greater than the carrying amount. 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, we do not undertake, and we specifically disclaim any obligation, to release publicly the results of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. Overview Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, investment securities and other interest-earning assets (cash and cash equivalents), and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of demand accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, certificate of deposit accounts and borrowings. Our results of operations also are affected by non-interest income, our provision for credit losses and non-interest expense. Non-interest income consists primarily of fee income and service fees, income from our financial services division, earnings on bank owned life insurance, realized gains on sales of loans and securities and other income. Non-interest expenses consist primarily of compensation and employee benefits, core processing, premises and equipment, professional fees, postage and office supplies, FDIC premiums, advertising and other expenses. Financial institutions like us, in general, are significantly affected by economic conditions, competition, and the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing and commercial real estate, competition among lenders, interest rate conditions, and funds availability. Our operations and lending are principally concentrated in Onondaga and Madison Counties and the greater Syracuse, New York area, and our operations and earnings are influenced by local economic conditions. Deposit balances and cost of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates on competing investments, customer preferences, and levels of personal income and savings in our primary market area. Operations are also significantly impacted by government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable law, regulations or government policies, as well as regulatory actions, may materially impact our financial performance. Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. As a result, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available at that time. Critical accounting estimates include the areas where we have made what we consider to be particularly difficult, subjective, or complex judgments concerning estimates, and where these estimates can significantly affect our financial results under different assumptions and conditions. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the years presented. Actual results could be different from these estimates. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and update them as needed. Significant accounting policies are presented in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses on loans represents management’s current estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual term of loans, and is recorded at an amount that, in management’s judgment, reduces the recorded investment in loans to the net amount expected to be collected. Management considers the allowance for credit losses to be a critical accounting estimate, given the uncertainty in estimating lifetime credit losses attributable to our portfolios of assets exhibiting credit risk, particularly in our loan portfolio, and the material effect that such judgments can have on our results of operations. Determining the amount requires significant judgment on the part of management, is multi-faceted, and can be imprecise. The level of the allowance for credit losses on loans is based on management’s ongoing review of all relevant information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and expectations of the future based on reasonable and supportable forecasts. 40 Table of Contents The allowance is established through a provision for credit losses in our consolidated statements of income, and evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is performed by management on a quarterly basis. While management uses available information to anticipate credit losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions or the composition of our portfolios. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for credit losses. At each of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses on loans totaled $1.8 million. Due to the nature and composition of our lending activities, a significant portion of the allowance for credit losses on loans is allocated to the commercial real estate portfolio. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses on loans allocated to our commercial real estate portfolio was $ 504,000, or 28.0%, and $432,000, or 24.0%, respectively. Our methodology for maintaining our allowance for credit losses is based on historical experience and data, current economic information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Accordingly, the estimation of the allowance for credit losses is impacted by the economic forecasts utilized, which require the use of significant judgment. Deterioration in forecasted economic conditions may lead to further required increases to the allowance for credit losses. Conversely, improvements in forecasted economic conditions may warrant further reductions to the allowance for credit losses. In estimating the allowance for credit losses, management considers the sensitivity of the model and significant judgments and assumptions that could result in an amount that is materially different from management’s estimate. Loans that have similar risk characteristics are evaluated on a collective basis for the purposes of establishing the allowance for credit losses. Qualitative risk factors evaluated include: ● changes in the local economy and economic forecasts; ● changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans; ● concentration of credit exposure; ● changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses; ● digital lending risk; and ● changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are also not included in the collective evaluation. A collateral-dependent asset is a financial asset for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower, based on management’s assessment, is experiencing financial difficulty. The allowance for credit loss for a collateral dependent financial asset is measured using the fair value of collateral. When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. The allowance for credit losses is sensitive to various forecasted macroeconomic drivers, including the Federal Open Market Committee’s (“FOMC”) median forecasted U.S. civilian unemployment rate and the year-over-year change in U.S. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”). While it is difficult to estimate how potential changes to various factors may impact the allowance for credit losses because such changes to factors may not occur at the same rate or in the same direction, management compared the modeled allowance for credit losses on loans to a hypothetical model using a downside economic forecast. Using an immediate “shock” or increase of 20 basis points in the FOMC’s projected rate of U.S. civilian unemployment, and a decrease of 100 basis points in the FOMC’s projected rate of U.S. GDP growth, this would increase the model’s total calculated allowance for credit losses on loans by $451,000 or 25.4%, representing a ten basis points increase to the coverage ratio of the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of 41 Table of Contents loans at amortized cost, assuming all other quantitative and qualitative factors are kept at current levels, as of June 30, 2025. This example is only one of the numerous possible economic scenarios that could be utilized in assessing the sensitivity of the allowance for credit losses and does not represent management’s assumptions or judgment of factors as of June 30, 2025. Unexpected changes in economic growth could adversely affect our results of operations, including causing increases in delinquencies and default rates on loans, which would adversely impact our charge-offs, allowance for credit losses, and provision for credit losses. Deterioration in real estate values, employment data and household incomes may also result in higher credit losses for us. Also, in the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to a concentration of credit risk to a particular industry, counterparty, borrower or issuer. A deterioration in the financial condition or prospects of a particular industry or a failure or downgrade of, or default by, any particular entity or group of entities could negatively impact our business, perhaps materially, and the systems by which we set limits and monitor the level of our credit exposure to individual entities and industries, may not function as we have anticipated. Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 Total Assets. Total assets were $299.1 million as of June 30, 2025 and $280.9 million as of December 31, 2024, an increase of $18.1 million, or 6.5%. The increase in assets was primarily due to a $7.2 million increase in net loans, a $6.0 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, a $2.1 million increase in available for sale securities, a $1.8 million increase in fixed assets, and an $823,000 increase in prepaid expenses. Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $6.0 million, or 89.0%, to $12.8 million at June 30, 2025 from $6.8 million at December 31, 2024. The increase primarily resulted from an $18.2 million increase in total deposits, partially offset by a $7.2 million increase in net loans, a $2.1 million increase in available for sale securities, a $1.8 million increase in fixed assets relating to a new branch location in Manlius, New York opened in June 2025, and an $823,000 increase in prepaid expenses. Available-for-Sale Securities. Available-for-sale securities increased by $2.1 million, or 4.5%, to $48.6 million at June 30, 2025 from $46.5 million at December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to $12.7 million in purchases of U.S. treasury bonds during the six months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by the maturity of a $10.0 million U.S. treasury bond during the first quarter of 2025. Net Loans. Loans receivable, net of the allowance for credit losses, increased $7.2 million, or 3.5%, to $209.6 million at June 30, 2025 from $202.4 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in net loans was primarily driven by the origination of $19.8 million of loans, partially offset by $8.0 million of paydowns and $4.6 million of loan sales during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Commercial real estate loans increased to $69.9 million at June 30, 2025 from $59.5 million at December 31, 2024, as we hired a new commercial lender in mid-2024 to continue to grow this portfolio. Commercial and industrial loans decreased to $23.7 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $23.4 million at December 31, 2024. One- to four-family residential mortgage loans decreased to $96.4 million at June 30, 2025 from $101.2 million at December 31, 2024, as we focused on sales of such loans in the secondary market, while home equity loans and lines of credit increased to $14.3 million at June 30, 2025 from $11.9 million at December 31, 2024. Consumer and other loans decreased to $5.1 million at June 30, 2025 from $5.4 million at December 31, 2024. Deposits. Total deposits increased by $18.2 million, or 8.7%, to $228.8 million at June 30, 2025 from $210.6 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in commercial deposits of $3.4 million and an increase in retail deposits of $14.8 million, as we strategically increased our focus on gathering commercial deposits and invested in advertising and marketing campaigns. Core deposits (which we define as all deposits other than certificates of deposit and brokered deposits) increased $20.0 million, or 14.0% to $163.2 million at June 30, 2025 from $143.2 million at December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, money market deposits increased by $14.7 million, NOW and demand deposits increased by $1.3 million, and savings accounts increased by $4.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in time deposits by $1.7 million compared to December 31, 2024. There were $18.1 million and $16.9 million of brokered deposits included in time deposits at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. FHLB Advances. Total FHLB advances were $40.6 million at June 30, 2025 as compared to $41.3 million at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $686,000, or 1.7%. FHLB advances were paid down using funds obtained through deposit growth. Stockholders’ Equity . Stockholders’ equity decreased by $103,000, or 0.4%, to $23.8 million at June 30, 2025 from $23.9 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to $48,000 of net loss recorded during the six 42 Table of Contents months ended June 30, 2025 and a $96,000 increase in net unrealized mark-to-market loss on the available for sale securities portfolio recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a result of changes in interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Analysis of Net Interest Income Net interest income represents the difference between the interest we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as commercial and residential mortgage loans and investment securities, and the expense we pay on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Net interest income depends on both the volume of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates we earn or pay on them. Average Balances and Yields . The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the Three Months Ended June 30, ​ ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ Average ​ ​ ​ Average ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Outstanding ​ ​ ​ ​ Yield/ ​ Outstanding ​ ​ ​ ​ Yield/ ​ ​ Balance ​ Interest ​ Rate(4) ​ Balance ​ Interest ​ Rate(4) ​ ​ (Dollars in thousands) Interest-earning assets: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Loans ​ $ 210,036 ​ $ 3,098 5.90 % $ 203,504 ​ $ 2,897 5.69 % Available-for-sale securities ​ 48,386 ​ 386 3.19 ​ 39,207 ​ 281 2.87 ​ FHLB stock ​ 3,275 ​ 74 9.04 ​ 2,899 ​ 69 9.52 ​ Other interest-earning assets ​ 5,392 ​ 37 2.67 ​ 7,228 ​ 89 4.93 ​ Total interest-earning assets ​ 267,089 ​ 3,595 5.38 ​ 252,838 ​ 3,336 5.28 ​ Non-interest-earning assets ​ 17,933 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 11,654 ​ ​ ​ ​ Total assets ​ $ 285,022 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 264,492 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Interest-bearing liabilities: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ NOW accounts ​ $ 26,469 ​ ​ 6 0.09 ​ $ 25,411 ​ 6 0.09 ​ Regular savings and demand club accounts ​ 25,515 ​ 33 0.52 ​ 22,984 ​ 3 0.05 ​ Money market accounts ​ 69,738 ​ 444 2.54 ​ 55,794 ​ 376 2.70 ​ Certificates of deposit and retirement accounts ​ 65,164 ​ 512 3.14 ​ 67,430 ​ 637 3.78 ​ Total interest-bearing deposits ​ 186,886 ​ 995 2.13 ​ 171,619 ​ 1,022 2.38 ​ FHLB borrowings ​ 37,230 ​ 369 3.98 ​ 35,680 ​ 343 3.85 ​ Total interest-bearing liabilities ​ 224,116 ​ 1,364 2.43 ​ ​ 207,299 ​ 1,365 2.63 ​ Non-interest-bearing deposits ​ 32,367 ​ ​ ​ ​ 30,715 ​ ​ ​ ​ Other non-interest-bearing liabilities ​ 4,887 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 4,458 ​ ​ ​ ​ Total liabilities ​ 261,370 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 242,472 ​ ​ ​ ​ Stockholders’ equity ​ 23,653 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 22,020 ​ ​ ​ ​ Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity ​ $ 285,023 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 264,492 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net interest income ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 2,231 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 1,971 ​ ​ Net interest rate spread (1) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2.95 % ​ ​ ​ 2.64 % Net interest-earning assets (2) ​ $ 42,973 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 45,539 ​ ​ ​ ​ Net interest margin (3) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 3.34 % ​ ​ ​ 3.12 % Average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities ​ 119.17% % ​ ​ ​ 121.97 % ​ ​ ​ (1) Interest rate spread represents the difference between the yield on average interest-earning assets and the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. 43 Table of Contents (2) Net interest-earning assets represents total interest-earning assets less total interest-bearing liabilities.

A net loss of $196,000 was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $372,000, as compared to net income of $176,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to a $511,000 increase in provision for credit losses on loans during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to no provision for credit losses on loans being recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2024, and a $258,000, or 11.6% increase in non-interest expense. The decrease in net income was partially offset by a $259,000, or 7.8%, increase in interest income, a $68,000, or 14.7%, increase in non-interest income and a $72,000, or 194.6%, decrease in income tax expense. Interest Income. Interest income increased by $259,000, or 7.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, to $3.6 million as compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to an increase in loan interest income and interest and dividend income earned on the available for sale securities portfolio. Loan interest income increased by $202,000, or 6.9%, to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to a $6.5 million, or 3.2%, increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio from $203.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $210.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of commercial real estate loans, partially offset by loan repayments and one- to four-family residential real estate loan sales. The average yield earned on the loan portfolio increased by 21 basis points from 5.69% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 5.90% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in interest rates and originations of higher yielding commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. 45 Table of Contents Interest income earned on the available for sale securities portfolio increased by $105,000, or 37.3%, to $386,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $281,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributed to a $9.2 million, or 23.4%, increase in the average balance of the available for sale securities portfolio to $48.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $39.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in the average balance of available for sale securities was primarily attributed to the purchase of $5.8 million of securities during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as we deployed excess cash from increased deposits into liquid securities. The average yield earned on the available for sale securities portfolio increased by 32 basis points from 2.87% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, due to an increase in interest rates earned on the portfolio, resulting from purchases of higher-yielding securities. Interest Expense. Interest expense was $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Interest expense paid on FHLB and other borrowings increased $26,000, or 7.6%, from $343,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $369,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the interest paid on borrowings was due to a $1.6 million, or 4.3%, increase in the average balance of FHLB borrowings to $37.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $35.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 in order to fund loan growth. The average rate paid on borrowings increased by 13 basis points from 3.85% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.98% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, due to an increase in borrowing costs. Interest expense on deposits decreased by $27,000, or 2.6%, from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $995,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The average interest rate paid on deposit accounts decreased by 25 basis points from 2.38% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 2.13% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a 64 basis points decrease in interest paid on certificate of deposit and retirement accounts and growth in lower cost core deposits. The average balance of deposits increased by $15.3 million, or 8.9%, from $171.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $186.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the average balance of deposits was primarily attributed to a $13.9 million increase in the average balance of money market accounts, a $2.5 million increase in the average balance of regular savings and demand club deposits and a $1.1 million increase in the average balance of NOW accounts, partially offset by a $2.3 million decrease in the average balance of certificate of deposit and retirement accounts. Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $260,000, or 13.2%, from $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Net interest rate spread increased by 31 basis points to 2.95% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, reflecting an 10 basis points increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets and a 20 basis points decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin increased by 22 basis points from 3.12% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.34% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets was primarily due to an increase in market interest rates over the past year. The decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was due to our continued focus on obtaining lower cost core deposits. Provision for Credit Losses. Based on management’s analysis of the allowance for credit losses described under “–Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates” and in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of notes to the consolidated financial statements included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $511,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to no provision for credit losses on loans for the three month period ended June 30, 2024. The increased provision for the three months ended June 30, 2025 related to one borrowing relationship consisting of three loans, including two commercial and industrial loans and a commercial real estate loan. At June 30, 2025, the two commercial and industrial loans totaling $599,000 were fully charged off and the commercial real estate loan with a balance of $454,000 was fully paid off. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $1.8 million at June 30, 2025, or 0.83%, of total loans outstanding, and $1.8 million, or 0.89% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2024. Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased by $68,000, or 14.7%, from $463,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $531,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was in part attributable to a $32,000 net gain on sale of residential mortgage loans during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to a $20,000 net gain on sale of residential mortgage loans for the three months ended June 30, 2024. In addition, there was a $23,000 increase in income earned from financial services and retirement planning income generated by our subsidiary, Financial Quest, an $15,000 increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance due to higher market interest rates, and a $15,000 increase in fee income primarily due to our increased focus on core deposit growth. 46 Table of Contents Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased by $261,000, or 11.8%, from $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Compensation and benefits increased by $207,000, or 17.5%, due to an increase in the number of employees as a result of opening a new branch office in Manlius, New York in June 2025. Premises and equipment expense increased by $49,000, or 28.3%, and postage and office supplies increased by $9,000, or 22.5%, primarily due to the opening of a new branch office. The increase in non-interest expense was partially offset by a $8,000, or 8.6%, decrease in advertising expenses. Income Tax (Benefit) Expense. We recorded an income tax benefit of $35,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and an income tax expense of $37,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The $72,000 decrease in income tax expense resulted from the decrease in income before tax. Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 Net (Loss) Income. A net loss of $48,000 was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $330,000, or 117.0% as compared to net income of $282,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to a $621,000 provision for credit losses on loans during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to a $15,000 provision for credit losses on loans during the six months ended June 30, 2024, and a $416,000, or 9.5%, increase in non-interest expense. The decrease in net income was partially offset by a $557,000, or 8.6%, increase in interest income, a $143,000, or 16.4%, increase in non-interest income and a $56,000, or 112.0%, decrease in income tax expense.

The increase was primarily attributed to an $8.6 million, or 21.9%, increase in the average balance of the available for sale securities portfolio to $47.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $39.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in the average balance of available for sale securities was primarily attributed to the purchase of $12.7 million of securities during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as we deployed excess cash from increased deposits into liquid securities. The average yield earned on the available for sale securities portfolio increased by 29 basis points from 2.91% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to an increase in interest rates earned on the portfolio, resulting from purchases of higher-yielding securities.

The increase in the interest paid on borrowings was due to a $4.2 million, or 12.1%, increase in the average balance of FHLB borrowings to $38.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $34.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, in order to fund loan growth. The average rate paid on borrowings increased by seven basis points from 3.82% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to an increase in borrowing costs. 47 Table of Contents Interest expense on deposits decreased by $29,000, or 1.5%, from $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The average interest rate paid on deposit accounts decreased by 20 basis points from 2.29% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 2.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a 47 basis points decrease in interest paid on certificate of deposit and retirement accounts and growth in lower cost core deposits. The average balance of deposits increased by $13.4 million, or 7.9%, from $170.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $183.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

The net interest margin increased by 20 basis points from 3.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets was primarily due to an increase in market interest rates over the past year. The decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was due to our continued focus on obtaining lower cost core deposits. Provision for Credit Losses. Based on management’s analysis of the allowance for credit losses described under “–Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates” and in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of notes to the consolidated financial statements included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $621,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to a $15,000 provision for credit losses on loans being recorded during the six month period ended June 30, 2024. The increased provision for the six months ended June 30, 2025 related to one borrowing relationship consisting of three loans, including two commercial and industrial loans and a commercial real estate loan. At June 30, 2025, the two commercial and industrial loans totaling $599,000 were fully charged off and the commercial real estate loan with a balance of $454,000 was fully paid off.

Compensation and benefits expense increased by $278,000, or 11.6%, due to an increase in the number of employees as a result of opening a new branch office in Manlius, New York in June 2025 and due to annual salary increases and increases in benefit expenses. Professional fees increased by $32,000, or 24.4%, due to increases in consulting, legal and audit and accounting services. Premises and equipment expense increased by $64,000, or 16.8%, primarily due to the opening of a new branch office.

Comparison at or for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 . The market value of assets under management was $249.9 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $226.0 million at June 30, 2024. This increase was due to continued organic acquisition of new assets under management combined with an increase in the market value of assets under management. Income related to our wealth management business segment, which we record as non-interest income, increased $22,000, or 9.7%, to $248,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $226,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Expenses related to our wealth management business segment, which we record as non-interest expense, increased $10,000, or 5.9%, to $180,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $170,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to the continued growth in our operations and an increase in compensation expense. Comparison at or for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 . The market value of assets under management was $249.9 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $226.0 million at June 30, 2024. This increase was due to continued organic acquisition of new assets under management combined with an increase in the market value of assets under management. Income related to our wealth management business segment, which we record as non-interest income, increased $41,000, or 9.3%, to $480,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $439,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The 49 Table of Contents increase was mainly due to the impact of movement in equity markets and the interest rate environment during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same prior year period. Expenses related to our wealth management business segment, which we record as non-interest expense, increased $28,000, or 8.6%, to $355,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $301,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to the continued growth in our operations and an increase in compensation expense. Delinquencies and Asset Quality Loans Past Due and Non-Performing Assets . Loans are reviewed on a regular basis. Non-accrual loans are loans for which collectability is questionable and, therefore, interest on such loans will no longer be recognized on an accrual basis. All loans that become 90 days or more delinquent are placed on non-accrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received on a cash basis or cost recovery method. When we acquire real estate as a result of foreclosure, the real estate is classified as real estate owned. The real estate owned is recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Any excess of the recorded value of the loan satisfied over the market value of the property is charged against the allowance for credit losses, or, if the existing allowance is inadequate, charged to expense of the current period. After acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property are expensed. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property, however, are capitalized to the extent of estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. Loans modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties occur when we grant borrowers favorable loan modifications that we would not consider but for economic or legal reasons pertaining to the borrower’s financial difficulties. These concessions typically include a modification of loan terms such as a reduction of the interest rate to below market terms, capitalizing past due interest or extending the maturity date, or possibly a partial forgiveness of the principal amount due. We identify loans for potential modifications related to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty primarily through direct communication with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower’s financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns and credit reports. Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future. Interest income on restructured loans is accrued after the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay under the restructured terms through a sustained period of repayment performance, which is generally six consecutive months. We did not modify any loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in the three or six months ended June 30, 2025. We closely monitor the performance of loans that are modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of our modification efforts. Loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty did not have payment default during the three or six months ended June 30, 2025 and all such loans were current as of June 30, 2025. 50 Table of Contents Non-Performing Assets. The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of our non-performing assets at the dates indicated. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ At June 30, At December 31, ​ ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ ​ (Dollars in thousands) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Non-accrual loans: ​ ​ ​ Residential: ​ ​ ​ One- to four-family ​ $ 369 $ 369 ​ Home equity loans and lines of credit ​ — ​ — ​ Construction ​ — ​ — ​ Commercial real estate ​ — ​ — ​ Commercial and industrial ​ 43 ​ 44 ​ Consumer and other ​ — ​ — ​ Total non-accrual loans ​ 412 ​ 413 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Accruing loans 90 days or more past due: ​ ​ ​ Residential: ​ ​ ​ One- to four-family ​ — ​ — ​ Home equity loans and lines of credit ​ 32 ​ 32 ​ Construction ​ — ​ — ​ Commercial real estate ​ — ​ — ​ Commercial and industrial ​ — ​ — ​ Consumer and other ​ — ​ — ​ Total accruing loans 90 days or more past due ​ 32 ​ 32 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total non-performing loans ​ 444 ​ 445 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Real estate owned ​ — ​ — ​ Other non-performing assets ​ 459 ​ 459 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Total non-performing assets ​ $ 903 $ 904 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Ratios: ​ ​ ​ Total non-performing loans to total loans ​ 0.21 % ​ 0.22 % Total non-performing loans to total assets ​ 0.15 % ​ 0.16 % Total non-performing assets to total assets ​ 0.30 % ​ 0.32 % ​ Non-accrual loans remained relatively unchanged compared to December 31, 2024. Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered by the OCC to be of lesser quality, as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss.” An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss allowance is not warranted. Assets which do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are designated as “special mention” by our management. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish general allowances in an amount deemed prudent by management to cover probable accrued losses. General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to cover probable accrued losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have 51 Table of Contents not been allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as “loss,” it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge-off such amount. An institution’s determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the regulatory authorities, which may require the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances. In connection with the filing of our periodic reports with the OCC and in accordance with our classification of assets policy, we regularly review the problem loans in our portfolio to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. The following table sets forth our amounts of classified assets and assets designated as special mention as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and 2023. Generally loans 90 days or more past due are placed on non-accrual status and classified “substandard.” All loans 60 days past due are classified “special mention.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ At June 30, At December 31, ​ 2025 2024 ​ ​ (In thousands) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Substandard ​ $ 2,822 ​ $ 3,249 Doubtful ​ — ​ — Loss ​ — ​ — Total Classified Assets ​ $ 2,822 ​ $ 3,249 Special Mention ​ $ 2,673 ​ $ — ​ “Substandard” loans decreased at June 30, 2025 due primarily to a commercial real estate loan with a balance of $454,000, that paid off. “Special mention” loans increased at June 30, 2025 due to one commercial borrowing relationship totaling $2.7 million. Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans The allowance for credit losses on loans represents management’s current estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual term of loans, and is recorded at an amount that, in management’s judgment, reduces the recorded investment in loans to the net amount expected to be collected. Management considers the allowance for credit losses to be a critical accounting estimate, given the uncertainty in estimating lifetime credit losses attributable to our portfolios of assets exhibiting credit risk, particularly in our loan portfolio, and the material effect that such judgments can have on our results of operations. Determining the amount requires significant judgment on the part of management, is multi-faceted, and can be imprecise. The level of the allowance for credit losses on loans is based on management’s ongoing review of all relevant information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and expectations of the future based on reasonable and supportable forecasts. The allowance is established through a provision for credit losses in our consolidated statements of income, and evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is performed by management on a quarterly basis. While management uses available information to anticipate credit losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions or the composition of our portfolios. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for credit losses. Our methodology for maintaining our allowance for credit losses is based on historical experience and data, current economic information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Accordingly, the estimation of the allowance for credit losses is impacted by the economic forecasts utilized, which require the use of significant judgment. Deterioration in forecasted economic conditions may lead to further required increases to the allowance for credit losses. Conversely, improvements in forecasted economic conditions may warrant further reductions to the allowance for credit losses. In estimating the allowance for credit losses, management considers the sensitivity of the model and significant judgments and assumptions that could result in an amount that is materially different from management’s estimate. Loans that have similar risk characteristics are evaluated on a collective basis for the purposes of establishing the allowance for credit losses. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are also not included in the collective evaluation. A collateral-dependent asset is a financial asset for which the repayment is expected to be 52 Table of Contents provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower, based on management’s assessment, is experiencing financial difficulty. The allowance for credit loss for a collateral dependent financial asset is measured using the fair value of collateral. When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. For additional information on the allowance for credit losses, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates—Allowance for Credit Losses.” The following table sets forth activity in our allowance for credit losses on loans for the periods indicated. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ At or For the Six Months Ended June 30, ​ 2025 2024 ​ ​ (Dollars in thousands) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Balance at beginning of period ​ $ 1,804 ​ $ 2,044 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Charge-offs: ​ ​ ​ Residential: ​ ​ ​ One- to four-family ​ — ​ — ​ Home equity loans and lines of credit ​ — ​ — ​ Construction ​ — ​ — ​ Commercial real estate ​ — ​ — ​ Commercial and industrial ​ (655) ​ — ​ Consumer and other ​ (23) ​ (8) ​ Total charge-offs ​ (678) ​ (8) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Recoveries: ​ ​ ​ Residential: ​ ​ ​ One- to four-family ​ — ​ — ​ Home equity loans and lines of credit ​ — ​ — ​ Construction ​ — ​ — ​ Commercial real estate ​ — ​ — ​ Commercial and industrial ​ 2 ​ — ​ Consumer and other ​ 2 ​ — ​ Total recoveries ​ 4 ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net charge-offs ​ (674) ​ (8) ​ Provision (reversal) for credit losses on loans ​ 621 ​ ​ 15 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Balance of allowance at end of period ​ $ 1,751 ​ $ 2,051 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net (charge-offs) recoveries to average loans outstanding during period (annualized) ​ (0.65) % (0.01) % Allowance for credit losses on loans to non-accrual loans at end of period ​ 425.00 % 637.69 % Non-accrual loans to total loans outstanding at end of period ​ 0.20 % 0.16 % Allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans outstanding at end of period ​ 0.83 % 1.02 % ​ 53 Table of Contents The following table sets forth additional information with respect to charge-offs by category for the periods indicated. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the Six Months Ended June 30, ​ 2025 2024 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net (charge-offs) recoveries to average loans outstanding during the period by loan type (annualized): ​ Residential: ​ One- to four-family 0.00 % 0.00 % Home equity loans and lines of credit 0.00 % 0.00 % Construction 0.00 % 0.00 % Commercial real estate 0.00 % 0.00 % Commercial and industrial (0.63) % 0.00 % Consumer and other (0.02) % (0.01) % ​ 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, proceeds from the sale of loans, and proceeds from calls, maturities and sales of securities. We also are able to borrow from the FHLB of New York. At June 30, 2025, we had a $71.4 million line of credit with the FHLB of New York, a $4.0 million line of credit with Zions Bank, and a $4.0 million line of credit with Pacific Coast Bankers Bank (“PCBB”). At June 30, 2025, we had outstanding borrowings of $53.9 million from the FHLB of New York. We did not borrow against the line of credit with Zions Bank or PCBB during the three or six months ended June 30, 2025. We also have the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York through the discount window lending program. The board of directors is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We believe that we had sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy our short and long-term liquidity needs as of June 30, 2025. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which includes cash and due from banks. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $12.8 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, had a total market value of $48.6 million at June 30, 2025. We have loan commitments to borrowers and borrowers have unused overdraft lines of protection, unused home equity lines of credit and unused commercial lines of credit that may require funding at a future date. We believe we have sufficient funds to fulfill these commitments, including sources of funds available through the use of FHLB of New York advances and other liquidity sources. We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. Certificates of deposit due within twelve months of June 30, 2025 totaled $41.9 million, or 18.3% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other deposits and FHLB of New York advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or borrowings than we currently pay. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered. We have obtained an irrevocable letter of credit with the FHLB of New York to collateralize New York state deposits for the New York Banking Development District program. The Banking Development District program through incentives encourages banks to open branches in communities that are underserved in banking services. New York State has deposited a below-market rate certificate of deposit in our Bridgeport office, located in Madison County. Seneca Savings in turn makes loans to small businesses located in the market area with the proceeds. 54 Table of Contents We do not anticipate any material capital expenditures in 2025 other than remaining construction commitments of $324.4 thousand as of June 30, 2025 for our new Liverpool branch. We do not have any balloon or other payments due on any long-term obligations, other than the borrowing agreements noted above. At June 30, 2025, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements, and we were categorized as “well capitalized” at June 30, 2025. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since June 30, 2025 that would change our categorization. See [Note 13.] Regulatory Capital Requirements of the notes to our consolidated financial statements for more information. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations Our off-balance sheet items include loan commitments as described in [Note 11] . Commitments and Contingencies of the notes to our consolidated financial statements. At June 30, 2025, we had loan commitments to borrowers of approximately $265,000 and overdraft lines of credit, unused home equity lines of credit, unused commercial lines of credit, and commercial and standby letters of credit of approximately $28.8 million. We do not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments was immaterial at June 30, 2025. Impact of Inflation and Changing Price The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related data presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with GAAP which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates, generally, have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than does inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services. ​ Item 3.
