MAGYAR BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

~~(Unaudited~~(Unaudited)

NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magyar Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), its wholly owned subsidiary, Magyar Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries Magyar Service Corporation, Hungaria Urban Renewal, LLC, and Magyar Investment Company. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The unaudited information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.

Operating results for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2023. The September 30, 2022 information has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of available-for-sale investment securities, the valuation of other real estate owned (“OREO”), and the assessment of realizability of deferred income tax assets.

The Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements. The evaluation was conducted through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

NOTE B - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In connection with the preparation of quarterly and annual reports in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Securities Exchange Act of 1934, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 11.M requires the disclosure of the impact that recently issued accounting standards will have on consolidated financial statements when they are adopted in the future.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 (“CECL”) requires entities to report “expected” credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit rather than the current “incurred loss” model. These expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date are to be based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ~~This ASU~~The CECL will also require enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant management’s estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements.

In October 2019, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 (October 1, 2023 for the Company), and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company continues to evaluate the impact the new standard will have on the accounting for credit ~~losses, but the~~losses. The Company may recognize a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, consistent with regulatory expectations set forth in interagency guidance issued at the end of 2016.

The Company ~~cannot yet determine~~will adopt CECL related to Financial Instruments -Credit Losses (Topic 326) on of October 1, 2023, using a modified retrospective approach. The Company’s implementationprocess includes scoping, segmentation and the ~~magnitude~~design of ~~any such one-time cumulative adjustment or~~a methodology appropriate for each respective financial instrument.The process also includes the development of loss forecasting models as well as the incorporation of qualitativeadjustments. Evaluation of technical accounting topics, updates to our allowance policydocumentation, model validation, governance and reporting, processes and related internal controls, as well as overall ~~impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.~~operationalreadiness will be completed throughout September 30, 2023 in preparation for adoption.

~~Table of Contents~~

Based on analyses performed during the quarter ending June 30, 2023, as well as an implementation analysis utilizing exposures and forecasts of economic conditions as of June 30, 2023, the Company currently expects the adoption of CECL will result in an adjustment to the allowance for credit losses amount at October 1, 2023 in the range of $630,000 to $950,000, which includes unfunded commitments and held to maturity debt securities. The impact will be reflected as a cumulative effect adjustment, net of taxes. At June 30, 2023, the allowance for loan losses totaled $8.4 million. As the Company is currently finalizing the execution of its implementation controls and processes, the ultimate impact of the adoption of CECL as of October 1, 2023 could differ from our current expectation as it is largely dependent on the economic conditions and forecasts determined at the date of adoption, but the cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for the change in the allowance for credit losses upon CECL adoption will not have a material effect on the Company’s capital and regulatory capital amounts and ratios.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) and Vintage Disclosures as an update to Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The amendments in this ASU eliminate the TDR recognition and measurement guidance and, instead, require that an entity evaluate (consistent with the accounting for other loan modifications) whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendments enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, ASU 2022-02 requires that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost. The amendments in ASU 2022-02 will be effective for the Company with its adoption of ASU 2016-13.

NOTE C - CONTINGENCIES

The Company, from time to time, is a party to routine litigation that arises in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of this litigation, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE D - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table presents a calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and 2022. Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the periods.

Options to purchase 293,200 shares of common stock at a weighted average strike price of $12.58 and ~~156,400~~155,400 shares of restricted shares at a weighted average price of $12.63 were outstanding at ~~March 31, 2023.~~June 30, 2023 but were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS because they were anti-dilutive. There were no outstanding stock awards or options to purchase common stock at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

NOTE E – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. ASC 718 requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in consolidated financial statements. The cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.

ASC 718 also requires the Company to realize as a financing cash flow rather than an operating cash flow, as previously required, the benefits of realized tax deductions in excess of previously recognized tax benefits on compensation expense. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, the Company classified share-based compensation for employees and outside directors within “compensation and employee benefits” in the Consolidated Statements of Income to correspond with the same line item as the cash compensation paid.

Stock options generally vest over a five-year service period and expire ten years from issuance. Management recognizes compensation expense for all option grants over the awards’ respective requisite service periods. The fair values of all option grants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Management considered historical information on the volatility of the Company’s stock in determining the assumed volatility rate used in the estimation of fair value. Management estimated the expected life of the options using the simplified method allowed under SAB No. 107. The 7-year Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant provided the risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option. Management recognizes compensation expense for the fair values of these awards, which have graded vesting, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Management estimated a 95% retention rate for stock option recipients. Once vested, these awards are irrevocable. Shares will be obtained from either the open market or treasury stock upon share option exercise.

~~Table of Contents~~

Restricted shares generally vest over a five-year service period on the anniversary of the grant date. Once vested, these awards are irrevocable. The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock determine the fair value of restricted shares under the Company’s restricted stock plans. Management recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

On August 25, 2022, the Company adopted the 2022 Equity Compensation Plan which provided for grants of up to 547,400 shares to be allocated between incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards to officers, employees and directors of the Company and Magyar Bank. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, 293,200 options and ~~156,400~~155,400 shares of restricted stock had been awarded from the plan.

The following is a summary of the status of the Company’s stock option activity and related information for its option plan for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023:

The Company had no other stock-based compensation plans as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 except as disclosed below.

On December 8, 2022, the Company announced the completion of its third stock repurchase program, under which 354,891 shares had been repurchased at an average price of $12.90. The Company also announced the authorization of an additional stock repurchase plan pursuant to which the Company intends to repurchase up to an additional 5% of its outstanding shares, or up to 337,146 shares, under which ~~54,144~~75,362 shares had been repurchased at an average price of ~~$12.87.~~$12.11. Under this stock repurchase program, ~~283,002~~261,784 shares of the 337,146 shares authorized remained available for repurchase as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023. The Company’s intended use of the repurchased shares is for general corporate purposes. The Company held treasury stock shares totaling ~~522,031~~429,253 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023. The timing of the repurchases will depend on certain factors, including but not limited to, market conditions and prices, the Company’s liquidity requirements and alternative uses of capital.

~~Table of Contents~~

The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for the benefit of employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. The ESOP trust purchases shares of common stock in the open market using proceeds of a loan from the Company. The loan is secured by shares of the Company’s stock. The Bank makes cash contributions to the ESOP on an annual basis sufficient to enable the ESOP to make the required loan payments to the Company. As the debt is repaid, shares are released as collateral and allocated to qualified employees. Accordingly, the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Employer’s Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans.” As shares are released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations.

In connection with the Company’s second-step stock offering during its fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, the ESOP trustees purchased 312,800 shares of the Company’s common stock for $3.4 million, reflecting an average cost per share of $10.77. The ESOP loan bears a variable interest rate that adjusts annually to Prime Rate (7.50% on January 1, 2023) with principal and interest payable annually in equal installments over thirty years.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, ESOP shares allocated to participants totaled 22,487. Unallocated ESOP shares held in suspense totaled 290,313 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and the aggregate fair value was ~~$3.1~~$3.0 million. The Company's contribution expense for the ESOP was ~~$74,000~~$98,000 and ~~$99,000~~$140,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

NOTE F – OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

NOTE G – FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The securities available-for-sale and the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets or liabilities on a non-recurring basis, such as held-to-maturity securities, mortgage servicing rights, loans receivable and OREO. These non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

~~Table of Contents~~

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

	Level 1 -	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

	Level 2 -	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

	Level 3 -	Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. The results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

The Company based its fair values on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Securities available-for-sale

The securities available-for-sale portfolio is carried at estimated fair value on a recurring basis, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income/loss in stockholders’ equity. The securities available-for-sale portfolio consists of U.S government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities. The fair values of these securities are obtained from an independent nationally recognized pricing service. An independent pricing service provides the Company with prices which are categorized as Level 2, as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are generally not available for the securities in the Company’s portfolio. Various modeling techniques are used to determine pricing for Company’s mortgage-backed securities, including option pricing and discounted cash flow models. The inputs to these models include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data.

Derivatives

Magyar Bank executes interest rate swaps with commercial lending customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. The fair values of such derivatives are based on valuation models from a third party using current market terms (including interest rates and fees), the remaining terms of the agreements and the credit worthiness of the counter party as of the measurement date (Level 2).

The following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the carrying value of the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Impaired Loans

Loans which meet certain criteria are evaluated individually for impairment. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All amounts due according to the contractual terms means that both the contractual interest and principal payments of a loan will be collected as scheduled in the loan agreement. Three impairment measurement methods are used, depending upon the collateral securing the asset: 1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate (the rate of return implicit in the loan); 2) the asset’s observable market price; or 3) the fair value of the collateral, less anticipated selling and disposition costs, if the asset is collateral dependent. The regulatory agencies require the last method for loans from which repayment is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral. The Company’s impaired loans are generally collateral dependent and, as such, are carried at the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Fair value is estimated through current appraisals, and adjusted by management as necessary, to reflect current market conditions and, as such, are generally classified as Level 3.

Appraisals of collateral securing impaired loans are conducted by approved, qualified, and independent third-party appraisers. Such appraisals are ordered via the Company’s credit administration department, independent from the lender who originated the loan, once the loan is deemed impaired, as described in the previous paragraph. Impaired loans are generally re-evaluated with an updated appraisal within one year of the last appraisal. The Company discounts the appraised “as is” value of the collateral for estimated selling and disposition costs and compares the resulting fair value of collateral to the outstanding loan amount. If the outstanding loan amount is greater than the discounted fair value, the Company requires a reduction in the outstanding loan balance or additional collateral before considering an extension to the loan. If the borrower is unwilling or unable to reduce the loan balance or increase the collateral securing the loan, it is deemed impaired and the difference between the loan amount and the fair value of collateral, net of estimated selling and disposition costs, is charged off through a reduction of the allowance for loan loss.

~~Other Real Estate Owned~~

The fair value of other real estate owned is determined through current appraisals, and adjusted as necessary, by management, to reflect current market conditions and anticipated selling and disposition costs. As such, other real estate owned is generally classified as Level 3.

The following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the carrying value of the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022.

Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.

The following presents the carrying amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments carried at cost or amortized cost as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022. For short-term financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents and accrued interest receivable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization. For financial liabilities such as interest-bearing demand, NOW, and money market savings deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to these products being payable on demand and having no stated maturity.

NOTE I – IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The Company recognizes credit-related other-than-temporary impairment on debt securities in earnings while noncredit-related other-than-temporary impairment on debt securities not expected to be sold are recognized in other comprehensive income.

The Company reviews its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of impairment. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market. The Company evaluates its intent and ability to hold debt securities based upon its investment strategy for the particular type of security and its cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position. In addition, the risk of future other-than-temporary impairment may be influenced by prolonged recession in the U.S. economy, changes in real estate values and interest deferrals.

~~Table of Contents~~

Investment securities with fair values greater than their amortized cost contain unrealized gains. Investment securities with fair values less than their amortized cost contain unrealized losses. Details of securities with unrealized losses at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 are as follows:

The investment securities listed above currently have fair values less than amortized cost and therefore contain unrealized losses. The Company evaluated these securities and determined that the decline in value was primarily related to fluctuations in the interest rate environment and were not related to any company or industry specific event.

The Company anticipates full recovery of amortized costs with respect to these securities. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and has determined that it is not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these securities prior to maturity or market price recovery. Management has considered factors regarding other than temporarily impaired securities and determined that there are no securities with impairment that is other than temporary as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022.

The segments of the Company’s loan portfolio are disaggregated to a level that allows management to monitor risk and performance. The residential mortgage loan segment is further disaggregated into two classes: first lien, amortizing term loans, and the combination of second lien amortizing term loans and home equity lines of credit. The commercial loan segment is further disaggregated into three classes: loans secured by multifamily structures, loans secured by owner-occupied commercial structures, and loans secured by non-owner occupied nonresidential properties. The construction loan segment consists primarily of developers or investors for the purpose of acquiring, developing and constructing residential or commercial structures and to a lesser extent one-to-four family residential construction loans made to individuals for the acquisition of and/or construction on a lot or lots on which a residential dwelling is to be built. Construction loans to developers and investors have a higher risk profile because the ultimate buyer, once development is completed, is generally not known at the time of the loan. The commercial business loan segment consists of loans made for the purpose of financing the activities of commercial customers and consists primarily of revolving lines of credit. The consumer loan segment consists primarily of stock-secured installment loans, but also includes unsecured personal loans and overdraft lines of credit connected with customer deposit accounts.

Management evaluates individual loans in all segments for possible impairment if the loan either is in nonaccrual status, or is risk rated Substandard and is 90 days or more past due. Loans are considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in evaluating impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Once the determination has been made that a loan is impaired, the recorded investment in the loan is compared to the fair value of the loan using one of three methods: (a) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (b) the loan’s current observable market price; or (c) the fair value of the collateral securing the loan, less anticipated selling and disposition costs. The method is selected on a loan-by loan basis, with management primarily utilizing the fair value of collateral method. If there is a shortfall between the fair value of the loan and the recorded investment in the loan, the Company charges the difference to the allowance for loan loss as a charge-off and carries the impaired loan on its books at fair value. It is the Company’s policy to evaluate impaired loans on an annual basis to ensure the recorded investment in a loan does not exceed its fair value.

The following table presents impaired loans by class, segregated by those for which a specific allowance was required and those for which a specific allowance was not necessary for the periods presented:

Management uses a ten point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first six categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. Loans classified Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified Substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. All loans greater than three months past due are considered Substandard. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Company has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as severe delinquency, bankruptcy, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Commercial Loan Officers are responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis. The Company’s Asset Review Committee performs monthly reviews of all commercial relationships internally rated 6 (“Watch”) or worse. Confirmation of the appropriate risk grade is performed by an external loan review company that semi-annually reviews and assesses loans within the portfolio. Generally, the external consultant reviews commercial relationships greater than $500,000 and/or criticized relationships greater than $250,000. Detailed reviews, including plans for resolution, are performed on loans classified as Substandard on a monthly basis.

The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate Pass and the criticized categories of Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful within the Company’s internal risk rating system for the periods presented:

An allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is maintained to absorb losses from the loan portfolio. The ALL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated loss experience, and the amount of non-performing loans.

The Company’s methodology for determining the ALL is based on the requirements of ASC Section 310-10-35 for loans individually evaluated for impairment (discussed above) and ASC Subtopic 450-20 for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, as well as the Interagency Policy Statements on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other bank regulatory guidance.

Loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment are analyzed with general allowances being made as appropriate. For general allowances, historical loss trends are used in the estimation of losses in the current portfolio. These historical loss amounts are modified by other qualitative and economic factors.

The loans are segmented into classes based on their inherent varying degrees of risk, as described above. Management tracks the historical net charge-off activity by segment and utilizes this figure, as a percentage of the segment, as the general reserve percentage for pooled, homogenous loans that have not been deemed impaired. Typically, an average of losses incurred over five historical years is used.

Non-impaired credits are segregated for the application of qualitative factors. Management has identified a number of additional qualitative factors which it uses to supplement the historical charge-off factor because these factors are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing loan pools to differ from historical loss experience. The additional factors that are evaluated quarterly and updated using information obtained from internal, regulatory, and governmental sources include: national and local economic trends and conditions; levels of and trends in delinquency rates and non-accrual loans; trends in volumes and terms of loans; effects of changes in lending policies; experience, ability, and depth of lending staff; value of underlying collateral; and concentrations of credit from a loan type, industry and/or geographic standpoint.

Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALL. Since loans individually evaluated for impairment are promptly written down to their fair value, typically there is no portion of the ALL for loans individually evaluated for impairment.

The following table summarizes the ALL by loan category and the related activity for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and 2022:

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and actual losses will vary from current estimates. Management believes that the segmentation of the loan portfolio into homogeneous pools and the related historical loss ratios and other qualitative factors, as well as the consistency in the application of assumptions, result in an ALL that is representative of the risk found in the components of the portfolio at any given date.

A TDR is a loan that has been modified whereby the Bank has agreed to make certain concessions to a borrower to meet the needs of both the borrower and the Bank to maximize the ultimate recovery of a loan. TDR occurs when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties and the loan is modified using a modification that would otherwise not be granted to the borrower. The types of concessions granted generally include, but are not limited to, interest rate reductions, limitations on the accrued interest charged, term extensions, and deferment of principal.

A default on a TDR loan for purposes of this disclosure occurs when a borrower is 90 days past due or a foreclosure or repossession of the applicable collateral has occurred within twelve months of the restructure. The Company did not have any ~~TDRs~~TDR loans default during the three or ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023.

~~During~~There was one TDR loan modification totaling $106,000 during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31, 2023 there was one new TDR loan totaling $107,000 and there were no new TDRs during the six months ended March 31, 2022.~~June 30, 2023.

At September 30, 2022 the Company had $6.0 million in brokered certificates of deposits and $14.6 million in certificate of deposits obtained from a national deposit listing service.

The current FDIC insurance limit on bank deposit accounts is ~~$250,000.~~$250,000 per separately insured deposit account. The aggregate amount of deposit accounts with a denomination of $250,000 or more was approximately ~~$399.8~~$388.5 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 compared with $399.9 million at September 30, 2022. The portion of these accounts included in the Company’s total deposits was an estimated $95.4 million that exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s insurance coverage limit of $250,000 at June 30, 2023 compared to $129.4 million at September 30, 2022.

The aggregate amount of deposit accounts of State and local municipalities was ~~$201.6~~$200.9 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 compared with $140.6 million at September 30, 2022. ~~The largest municipal depositor held $101.4~~There were $194.4 million ~~at March 31, 2023 compared with $50.6~~and $139.3 million ~~at September 30, 2022.~~ State and local municipality deposits in excess of $250,000 at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, which are collateralized by investment securities and municipal ~~lines~~letters of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY”).

NOTE L - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Company may use derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps and interest rate floors and caps, as part of its interest rate risk management. Interest rate caps and floors are agreements whereby one party agrees to pay or receive a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount for a predetermined period of time if certain market interest rate thresholds are met. The Company considers the credit risk inherent in these contracts to be negligible. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, the Company did not hold any interest rate floors or collars.

The Company is a party to interest rate derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments. Under a program, the Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial lending customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. These interest rate swaps with customers are simultaneously offset by interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third-party financial institution, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. Because the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. The changes in the fair value of the swaps offset each other, except for the credit risk of the counterparties, which is determined by taking into consideration the risk rating, probability of default and loss given default for all counterparties. The Company was not required to pledge any collateral for its interest rate swaps with financial institutions at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022.

The following table presents summary information regarding these derivatives as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022.

Total Assets. Total assets increased ~~$41.3~~$58.9 million, or ~~5.2%~~7.4%, to ~~$839.9~~$857.4 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 from $798.5 million at September 30, 2022. The increase was attributable to higher balances of loans receivable, net of allowance for loan loss, partially offset by lower interest-earning deposits with banks and investment securities.

Cash and Interest-Earning Deposits. Cash and interest-earning deposits with banks decreased ~~$5.5~~$8.5 million, or ~~17.8%~~27.6% to ~~$25.4~~$22.4 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 from $30.9 million at September 30, 2022 resulting primarily from deployment of these funds into loans receivable during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023.

Investment Securities. ~~At March 31,~~Investment securities totaled $92.5 million at June 30, 2023, ~~investment securities decreased $2.0~~reflecting a decrease of $8.4 million, or ~~2.0 %, to $98.9 million~~8.3%, from $100.9 million at September 30, 2022.

The decrease resulted from the maturity of a $5.0 million corporate note and payments from mortgage-backed securities totaling $3.7 million during the nine months while the market value of the Company’s available-for-sale investment securities increased $247,000. The Company did not purchase or sell any investment securities during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023. The decrease resulted from payments from mortgage-backed securities totaling $2.3 million during the six months ended March 31, 2023 that were used to fund new loan originations. Investment securities at March 31, 2023 consisted of $62.4 million in mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, $24.8 million in U.S. government-sponsored enterprise debt securities, $8.0 million in corporate notes, $3.5 million in municipal bonds, and $216,000 in private-label mortgage-backed securities.

Partially offsetting these increases were commercial business loans, which decreased ~~$12.7~~$11.5 million, or ~~36.6%~~33.3%, to ~~$22.0~~$23.1 million and other loans, which decreased ~~$562,000,~~$697,000, or ~~18.0%~~22.3%, to ~~$2.6~~$2.4 million during the ~~six~~nine months period.

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to earnings, at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the consolidated financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group information and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events occur.

After an evaluation of these factors, ~~management~~the Company recorded ~~a provision of $195,000~~an $81,000 credit for loan losses for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 compared ~~to $71,000~~with a $205,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The ~~higher~~lower provision for loan losses resulted from ~~growth in the Company’s loan portfolio and an increase in delinquent loans during the three months ended March 31, 2023.~~improving economic conditions. The Company recorded ~~$102,000~~$386,000 in ~~net~~ loan charge-offs ~~during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with~~and $1,000 in ~~net~~loan recoveries during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 compared with no charge-offs or recoveries during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Company is pursuing the guarantor of the one commercial business loan totaling $386,000 that was charged-off during the quarter.

~~Table of Contents~~

Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Management reviews the level of the allowance on a quarterly basis, and establishes the provision for loan losses based on the factors set forth in the preceding paragraph. As management evaluates the allowance for loan losses, the increased risk associated with larger non-homogenous construction, commercial real estate and commercial business loans may result in larger additions to the allowance for loan losses in future periods.

Other Income. Other income ~~increased $59,000,~~decreased $55,000, or ~~10.3%~~8.1%, to ~~$631,000~~$621,000 during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 compared ~~to $572,000~~with $676,000 for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Offsetting the decline was higher service charge income, which increased $108,000 to $392,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from higher loan prepayment penalties received with the repayment of commercial loans.

Other Expenses. Other expenses increased ~~$287,000,~~$454,000, or ~~6.4%~~10.2%, to ~~$4.8~~$4.9 million during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 compared ~~to $4.5~~with $4.4 million ~~at March 31,~~for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

The increase ~~in other expenses~~ was primarily attributable to higher compensation and benefit expense, which increased ~~$289,000,~~$265,000, or ~~10.7%~~9.8%, to $3.0 million, ~~at three months ended March 31, 2023 from $2.7 million at March 31, 2022,~~ due to stock award and stock option expenses related to the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan and increased director fees resulting from the addition of three new directors on September 22, 2022. Higher FDIC deposit insurance premiums, ~~marketing, business development, and~~loan servicing expenses, occupancy expenses and other expenses were partially offset by lower ~~professional fees~~marketing and ~~other~~business development expenses.

Income Tax Expense. The Company recorded tax expense of ~~$790,000~~$788,000 on pre-tax income of ~~$2.6~~$2.7 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, compared to ~~$690,000~~$886,000 on pre-tax income of ~~$2.4~~$3.0 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Net Income. Net income increased ~~$234,000~~$35,000 or ~~6.9%~~0.6%, to ~~$3.6~~$5.5 million during the ~~six~~nine month period ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 compared with ~~$3.4~~$5.5 million for the ~~six-month~~nine month period ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The increase was due to higher net interest and dividend income, ~~and other income,~~ partially offset by higher provisions for loan loss, lower other income and higher other expenses.

Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income increased ~~$1.0 million,~~$946,000, or ~~8.0%~~4.8%, to ~~$13.8~~$20.7 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 from ~~$12.8~~$19.8 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The increase was attributable to a 16$68.1 million increase in the average balance of loans receivable, net, as well as a one basis point increase in the Company’s net interest margin to ~~3.61%~~3.55% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 from ~~3.45%~~3.54% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31, 2022 as well as a $72.5 million increase in the average balance of loans receivable, net allowance for loan loss between the periods.~~June 30, 2022.

The increase was attributable to an 8688 basis point increase in the yield ~~to 4.61% for the six months ended March 31, 2023 from 3.75% for the prior year period,~~on interest-earning assets, as well as a ~~$25.0~~$32.8 million, or ~~3.4%~~4.4%, increase in the average balance of interest-earning ~~assets to $769.6 million from $744.6 million.~~assets. Higher balances of ~~higher yielding~~higher-yielding loans receivable funded by lower yielding interest-earning deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank as well as higher market interest rates contributed to the increase in the Company’s interest and dividend income between periods. Partially offsetting the increases were no Paycheck Protection Program loan fees included in interest income on loans receivable for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, compared with ~~$730,000~~$828,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Interest expense on borrowings increased ~~$125,000,~~$271,000, or ~~54.3%~~83.9%, to ~~$355,000~~$594,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 from ~~$230,000~~$323,000 for the prior year period. Higher market interest rates resulted in a 93102 basis point increase in the cost of borrowings to ~~3.12%~~3.24% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 from ~~2.19%~~2.22% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to earnings, at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group information and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events occur.

After an evaluation of these factors, ~~management~~the Company recorded a provision of ~~$513,000~~$432,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 compared to ~~$171,000~~$376,000 for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The higher provision for loan losses resulted from growth in the Company’s loan portfolio ~~and an increase in delinquent loans~~ during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31, 2023.~~June 30, 2023 as well as increased charge-offs. The Company recorded ~~$102,000~~$487,000 in net loan charge-offs during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 compared with $54,000 in net recoveries during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The Company charged off two commercial business loans totaling $488,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and is pursuing the guarantors on the loans for collection.

Other income ~~increased $7,000,~~decreased $46,000, or ~~0.6%~~2.4%, to ~~$1.2~~$1.9 million during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 compared to ~~$1.2~~$1.9 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. ~~Higher interest rate swap fees~~The Company did not record any gains on the sale of OREO during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, compared with $67,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. In addition, there were ~~offset by~~ lower gains onfrom the sale of Small Business Administration 7(a) loans, ~~and lower~~which decreased $68,000 to $485,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 from $553,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022.

Risk Factors

~~There~~Except for the additional risk factors below, there were no material changes to the risk factors relevant to the Company’s operations as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 filed on December 22, 2022.

~~Recent Negative Developments Affecting~~Adverse developments affecting the ~~Banking Industry,~~financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults, or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could adversely affect our financial condition and ~~Resulting Media Coverage, Have Eroded Customer Confidence in the Banking System~~results of operations.

~~The recent high-profile bank failures have generated significant market volatility among publicly traded bank holding companies. These market~~Actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments ~~have negatively impacted customer confidence~~that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the ~~safety~~financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and ~~soundness~~may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. For example, on May 1, 2023, First Republic Bank went into receivership and its deposits and substantially all of ~~regional banks. As~~its assets were acquired by JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association. Similarly, on March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank went into receivership, and on March 12, Signature Bank went into receivership.

Inflation and rapid increases in interest rates have led to a ~~result, customers may choose~~decline in the trading value of previously issued government securities with interest rates below current market interest rates. Although the Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board have announced a program to ~~maintain deposits with larger~~provide up to $25 billion of loans to financial institutions secured by certain of such government securities held by financial institutions to mitigate the risk of potential losses on the sale of such instruments, widespread demands for customer withdrawals or ~~invest in higher yielding short-term fixed income securities, all~~other liquidity needs of ~~which could materially adversely impact~~financial institutions for immediately liquidity may exceed the ~~Company’s liquidity, loan funding~~ capacity ~~net interest margin, capital and results~~ of operations.

Additionally, there is no guarantee that ~~such actions~~the Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board will ~~be successful~~provide access to uninsured funds in ~~restoring customer confidence~~the future in ~~regional~~the event of the closure of other banks ~~and the banking system more broadly.~~or financial institutions, or that they would do so in a timely fashion.

Rising Interest Rates Have Decreased the Value of the Company’s Securities Portfolio, and the Company Would Realize Losses if it Was Required to Sell Such Securities to Meet Liquidity Needs

As a result of inflationary pressures and the resulting rapid increases in interest rates over the last year, the trading value of previously issued government and other fixed income securities has declined significantly. These securities make up a majority of the securities portfolio of most banks in the U.S., including the Company’s, resulting in unrealized losses embedded in the securities portfolios. While the Company does not currently intend to sell these securities, if the Company were required to sell such securities to meet liquidity needs, it may incur losses, which could impair the Company’s capital, financial condition, and results of operations and require the Company to raise additional capital on unfavorable terms, thereby negatively impacting its profitability. While the Company has taken actions to maximize its funding sources, there is no guarantee that such actions will be successful or sufficient in the event of sudden liquidity needs. Furthermore, while the Federal Reserve Board has announced a Bank Term Funding Program available to eligible depository institutions secured by U.S. treasuries, agency debt and mortgage-backed securities, and other qualifying assets as collateral at par, to mitigate the risk of potential losses on the sale of such instruments, there is no guarantee that such programs will be effective in addressing liquidity needs as they arise.
