BASIS OF PRESENTATION, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Oconee Federal Financial Corp., which include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary Oconee Federal Savings and Loan Association (the “Association”) (referred to herein as “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated during consolidation. The Company is majority owned (~~74.23~~74.24%) by Oconee Federal, MHC. These financial statements do not include the transactions and balances of Oconee Federal, MHC.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021~~2022 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021. All interim amounts are unaudited, and the results of operations for the interim periods herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending June 30, ~~2022~~2023 or any other period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Reclassifications:

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

Cash Flows:

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, federal funds sold, overnight interest-earning deposits and amounts due from other depository institutions.

Use of Estimates:

To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.

Risks and Uncertainties:

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on the Company, its clients and the communities it serves. Given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including whether the coronavirus can continue to be controlled and abated. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: the demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income; if the economy worsens, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income; collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase; our allowance for credit losses may increase if borrowers experience financial difficulties, which will adversely affect our net income; the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; due to a decline in our stock price or other factors, goodwill may become impaired and be required to be written down.uncertain.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (continued)

ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. Issued in June 2016, ASU 2016-13 provides financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 eliminate the probable incurred loss recognition in current GAAP and reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets. For purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination (“PCD assets”) that are measured at amortized cost, the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price rather than being reported as a credit loss expense. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses on PCD assets are recognized through the statement of income as a credit loss expense. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a direct write-down to the security. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial ~~statements.~~statements by running parallel loss models. In November 2019, the FASB issued guidance delaying the implementation schedule and allowing certain entities, including smaller reporting companies (such as the Company) to adopt ASU 2016-13 in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those years.

There have been no accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of standards previously issued and not yet effective, and has no changes in its assessment since filing the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and is adjusted for ESOP shares not yet committed to be released. Unvested restricted stock awards, which contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends, are considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted EPS is applied. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as outstanding stock options, were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding to include the effect of contracts or securities exercisable (such as stock options) or which could be converted into common stock, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method. The factors used in the earnings per common share computation follow:

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. The Company considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Additionally, the Company considers its intent to sell or whether it will be more likely than not it will be required to sell the security prior to the security’s anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by federal Government agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.

None of the unrealized losses at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 were recognized into net income for the three ~~or nine~~ months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 because the issuers’ bonds are of high credit quality, management does not intend to sell and it is more likely than not that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates. The fair value of these securities is expected to recover as they approach their maturity date or reset date. None of the unrealized losses at June 30, ~~2021~~2022 were recognized as having OTTI during the year ended June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

COVID-19 Loan Modifications:

As a result of disruptions in economic conditions caused by COVID-19, the financial regulators issued guidance encouraging banks to work constructively with borrowers affected by the virus in our community. This guidance provided that the agencies will not criticize financial institutions that mitigate credit risk through prudent actions consistent with safe and sound practices. Section 4013 of the CARES Act, “Temporary Relief from Troubled Debt Restructurings,” which was extended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, provided banks the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under ASC 340-10 troubled debt restructuring classifications for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19. The Federal Reserve and the other banking agencies and regulators also issued a joint statement encouraging banks to work prudently with borrowers and to describe the agencies’ interpretations of how accounting rules under ASC 310-40 apply to certain COVID-19 related modifications. We have not considered any of the COVID-19 related modifications we performed to be troubled debt restructurings. Included in the table above are $~~8,751~~5,227 in loans still remaining that were modified to defer principal payments or principal and interest payments from three to six months based on the affected borrower’s request and need for COVID-19 financial relief. All loans modified for COVID-19 financial relief were current at the time of modification. Of this amount, there were $~~6,074~~3,615 in one-to-four family loans, $~~2,302~~1,256 in non-residential loans and $~~375~~356 in multi-family loans. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, $~~8,318~~4,763 of such loans were current and $~~433~~464 were 30 days or more past due. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, all of the COVID-19 related modifications had returned to regular payment status.

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, total loans that have been modified as troubled debt restructurings were $~~890~~496 and $~~1,661~~869, respectively, which consisted of 1one non-residential real estate loan and 2one one-to-four family first lien loans at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 1one non-residential real estate loan and 3two one-to-four family first lien loans at June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. Additionally, there were no commitments to lend any additional amounts on any loan after the modification. No loans have been modified as troubled debt restructurings during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022. No loans modified as troubled debt restructurings have defaulted since restructuring. All of these loans are on nonaccrual at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, $~~859~~467 and $~~1,107~~839, respectively, were individually evaluated for impairment.

Allowance for Loan Loss:

There have been no changes to our allowance for loan loss methodology during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022. We have assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the allowance for loan loss using the information that is available. ~~We believe that the recorded allowance is adequate at this time and as a result no additional provision for loan losses has been recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.~~ However, the fluidity of this pandemic precludes any prediction as to its ultimate impact. Due to the increase in the size of the loan portfolio, a $50 provision for loan losses was recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2022. We believe the recorded allowance is adequate as of September 30, 2022. We will continue to review and make adjustments as may be necessary. To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021.

LOANS (continued)

Loan Grades:

The Company utilizes a grading system whereby all loans are assigned a grade based on the risk profile of each loan. Loan grades are determined based on an evaluation of relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. All loans, regardless of size, are analyzed and are given a grade based upon the management’s assessment of the ability of borrowers to service their debts.

Pass: Loan assets of this grade conform to a preponderance of our underwriting criteria and are acceptable as a credit risk, based upon the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor. Loans in this category also include loans secured by liquid assets and secured loans to borrowers with unblemished credit histories.

Pass-Watch: Loan assets of this grade represent our minimum level of acceptable credit risk. This grade may also represent obligations previously rated “Pass”, but with significantly deteriorating trends or previously rated.

Special Mention: Loan assets of this grade have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loan assets of this grade are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Portfolio Segments:

One-to-four family: One-to-four family residential loans consist primarily of loans secured by first or second deeds of trust on primary residences, and are originated as adjustable-rate or fixed-rate loans for the construction, purchase or refinancing of a mortgage. These loans are collateralized by owner-occupied properties located in the ~~Company’s~~Company's market area. The Company currently originates residential mortgage loans for our portfolio with loan-to-value ratios of up to 80% for traditional owner-occupied homes.

For traditional homes, the Company may originate loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80% if the borrower obtains mortgage insurance or provides readily marketable collateral. The Company may make exceptions for special loan programs that we offer. The Company also originates residential mortgage loans for non-owner-occupied homes with loan-to-value ratios of up to 80%.

Multi-family:Multi-family real estate loans generally have a maximum term of five years with a 30 year amortization period and a final balloon payment and are secured by properties containing 5five or more units in the ~~Company’s~~Company's market area. These loans are generally made in amounts of up to 75% of the lesser of the appraised value or the purchase price of the property with an appropriate projected debt service coverage ratio. The ~~Company’s~~Company's underwriting analysis includes considering the ~~borrower’s~~borrower's expertise and requires verification of the ~~borrower’s~~borrower's credit history, income and financial statements, banking relationships, independent appraisals, references and income projections for the property. The Company generally obtains personal guarantees on these loans.

Multi-family real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than loans secured by one-to-four family residences. This greater risk is due to several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income-producing properties and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by multi-family residential real estate is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate project.

LOANS (continued)

Home Equity: The Company offers home equity loans and lines of credit secured by first or second deeds of trust on primary residences in our market area. The Company’s home equity loans and lines of credit are limited to an 80% loan-to-value ratio (including all prior liens). Standard residential mortgage underwriting requirements are used to evaluate these loans. The Company offers adjustable-rate and fixed-rate options for these loans with a maximum term of 10 years. The repayment terms on lines of credit are interest only monthly with principle due at maturity. Home equity loans have a more traditional repayment structure with principal and interest due monthly. The maximum term on home equity loans is 10 years with an amortization schedule not exceed 20 years.

Nonresidential Real Estate: Nonresidential loans include those secured by real estate mortgages on churches, owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied commercial buildings of various types, retail and office buildings, hotels, and other business and industrial properties. The nonresidential real estate loans that the Company originates generally have terms of five to 20 years with amortization periods up to 20 years. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of our nonresidential real estate loans is generally 75%.

Loans secured by nonresidential real estate generally are larger than one-to-four family residential loans and involve greater credit risk. Nonresidential real estate loans often involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Repayment of these loans depends to a large degree on the results of operations and management of the properties securing the loans or the businesses conducted on such property, and may be affected to a greater extent by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy in general, including the current adverse conditions.

The Company considers a number of factors in originating nonresidential real estate loans. The Company evaluates the qualifications and financial condition of the borrower, including credit history, cash flows, the applicable business plan, the financial resources of the borrower, the ~~borrower’s~~borrower's experience in owning or managing similar property and the ~~borrower’s~~borrower's payment history with the Company and other financial institutions. In evaluating the property securing the loan, the factors the Company considers include the net operating income of the mortgaged property before debt service and depreciation, the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value of the mortgaged property and the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of net operating income to debt service). The collateral underlying all nonresidential real estate loans is appraised by outside independent appraisers approved by our board of directors. Personal guarantees may be obtained from the principals of nonresidential real estate borrowers.

Agricultural:These loans are secured by farmland and related improvements in the Company’s market area. These loans generally have terms of five to 20 years with amortization periods up to 20 years. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of these loans is generally 75%. The Company is managing a small number of these loans in our portfolio. We continue to closely monitor our existing relationships.

Loans secured by agricultural real estate generally are larger than one-to-four family residential loans and involve greater credit risk. Agricultural real estate loans often involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Repayment of these loans depends to a large degree on the results of operations and management of the properties securing the loans or the businesses conducted on such property, and may be affected to a greater extent by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy in general, including the current adverse conditions.

Construction and Land: The Company makes construction loans to individuals for the construction of their primary residences and to commercial businesses for their real estate needs. These loans generally have maximum terms of twelve months, and upon completion of construction convert to conventional amortizing mortgage loans. Residential construction loans have rates and terms comparable to one-to-four family residential mortgage loans that the Company originates. Commercial construction loans have rate and terms comparable to commercial loans that we originate. During the construction phase, the borrower generally pays interest only. Generally, the maximum loan-to-value ratio of our owner-occupied construction loans is 80%. Residential construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating permanent residential mortgage loans. Commercial construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating commercial loans.

The Company also makes interim construction loans for nonresidential properties. In addition, the Company occasionally makes loans for the construction of homes ~~“on~~"on speculation,”" but the Company generally permits a borrower to have only 2two such loans at a time. These loans generally have a maximum term of eight months, and upon completion of construction convert to conventional amortizing nonresidential real estate loans. These construction loans have rates and terms comparable to permanent loans secured by property of the type being constructed that we originate. Generally, the maximum loan-to-value ratio of these construction loans is 85%.

LOANS (continued)

Commercial and Industrial Loans: Commercial and industrial loans are offered to businesses and professionals in the Company’s market area. These loans generally have short and medium terms on both a collateralized and uncollateralized basis. The structure of these loans are largely determined by the loan purpose and collateral. Sources of collateral can include a lien on furniture, fixtures, equipment, inventory, receivables and other assets of the company. A UCC-1 is typically filed to perfect our lien on these assets.

Commercial and industrial loans and leases typically are underwritten on the basis of the borrower’s or lessee’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of its business and generally are collateralized by business assets. As a result, such loans and leases involve additional complexities, variables and risks and require more thorough underwriting and servicing than other types of loans and leases.

~~Within this category for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended June 30, 2021 are PPP loans that were authorized under the CARES Act. PPP loans are originated by the Association, are~~ ~~100~~% guaranteed by the SBA and qualify to be forgiven based on certain criteria as determined by the SBA. The Association received a fee, with the percentage depending on the size of the loan, for originating these loans and earns 1~~% on the outstanding balance for the term of the loans, the maximum of which is~~ ~~five years~~ ~~unless forgiven sooner by the SBA. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, $~~84 ~~and $168~~ ~~of PPP loan fees were recognized in income, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, $6,682~~ ~~of the original $7,654~~ ~~of PPP loans have been forgiven, with a remaining amount of $~~18 ~~in deferred fees outstanding.~~

Consumer and Other Loans: The Company offers installment loans for various consumer purposes, including the purchase of automobiles, boats, and for other legitimate personal purposes. The maximum terms of consumer loans is 18 months for unsecured loans and 18 to 60 months for loans secured by a vehicle, depending on the age of the vehicle. The Company generally only extends consumer loans to existing customers or their immediate family members, and these loans generally have relatively low balances.

Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the ~~borrower’s~~borrower's continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk grade of loans by portfolio segment are presented in the following tables.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Investment Securities:

The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). We invest in the common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and in preferred and common stock of First National Bankers Bancshares, Inc. The stock is classified as restricted equity securities and is carried at cost.

Impaired Loans:

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. There were no impaired loans with specific allocations at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 or June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Loans Held for Sale:

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, which is evaluated on a pool-level basis. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan or other observable market data, such as outstanding commitments from third party investors and result in a Level 2 classification.

Loan Servicing Rights:

Fair value is determined based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model utilizes assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and that can be validated against available market data and results in a Level 3 classification.

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals, which are updated no less frequently than annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Real estate owned properties are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

~~(7) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)~~

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, management reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. On an annual basis, the Company compares the actual selling price of collateral that has been sold to the most recent appraised value to determine what additional adjustment should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value.

Deposits:

The fair values disclosed for demand deposit, money market and savings accounts are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date resulting in a Level 2 classification. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates of deposit to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

FHLB Advances:

The fair values of the Company’s FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and June 30, ~~2021~~2022 are summarized below:

The compensation committee of the board of directors ~~has~~had sole discretion to determine the amount and to whom equity incentive awards were granted. The Plan remains in effect as long as any awards or options are ~~granted.~~

~~There have been no stock~~outstanding. However, the ability to grant awards or options ~~or restricted stock issued in fiscal~~ceased as of April 5, 2022.

The fair value of the restricted stock awards is amortized to compensation expense over their respective vesting periods and is based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant multiplied by the number of shares granted that are expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock included in noninterest expense for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 was $1816 ~~and $~~67~~, respectively,~~ and for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 was $1225 ~~and $~~42~~, respectively.~~.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of such words as estimate, project, believe, intend, anticipate, plan, seek, expect and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include:

●

statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

●

statements regarding our business plans and prospects and growth and operating strategies;

●

statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

●

estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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:

●

our ability to manage our operations in response to changes in economic conditions (including real estate values, loan demand, inflation, commodity prices and employment levels) nationally and in our market areas;

●

the social and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or any other pandemic;

●

adverse changes in the financial industry, securities, credit and national and local real estate markets (including real estate values);

●

significant increases in our delinquencies and loan losses, including as a result of our inability to resolve classified assets, changes in the underlying cash flows of our borrowers, and management’s assumptions in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses;

●

credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and in our allowance and provision for loan losses;

●

use of estimates for determining the fair value of certain of our assets, which may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuations;

●

increased competition among depository and other financial institutions;

●

our ability to attract and maintain deposits, including introducing new deposit products;

●

inflation and changes in interest rates generally, including changes in the relative differences between short term and long term interest rates and in deposit interest rates, that may affect our net interest margin and funding sources;

●

fluctuations in the demand for loans, which may be affected by the number of unsold homes, land and other properties in our market areas and by declines in the value of real estate in our market area;

●

Our total assets ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$3.4~~$4.2 million, or ~~0.6%~~0.8%, to ~~$540.3~~$549.0 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$543.7~~$544.8 million at June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Total cash and cash equivalents decreased ~~$19.2~~$1.9 million, or ~~62.6%~~19.1%, to ~~$11.5~~$7.9 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$30.7~~$9.7 million at June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was due to funds being used during the ~~nine~~three month period to ~~reduce FHLB advances as well as~~ invest in higher yielding assets.

Our available-for-sale securities portfolio ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$16.9~~$12.3 million from ~~$139.1~~$151.3 million at June 30, ~~2021~~2022 to ~~$155.9~~$139.0 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022. The ~~increase~~decrease in securities classified as available-for-sale was primarily a result of ~~our continuing efforts~~unrealized losses in ~~fiscal 2022~~the portfolio due to ~~invest in higher yielding assets.~~the rising interest rate environment.

Gross loans ~~decreased $3.0~~increased $16.4 million, or ~~0.9%~~4.7%, to ~~$336.1~~$361.5 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 from ~~$339.1~~$345.1 million at June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. This ~~decrease~~increase was primarily a result of loan originations generally ~~not matching~~outpacing loan repayments during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022.

~~Deposits~~Deferred tax assets increased ~~$14.5~~by $1.8 million ~~or 3.3%, to $454.4 million at March 31, 2022~~ from ~~$439.9~~$4.7 million at June 30, ~~2021.~~2022 to $6.5 million at September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily a result of the unrealized losses in ~~our deposits reflected increases of $10.8~~the securities portfolio due to the rising interest rate environment.

Deposits were $459.7 million ~~in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, $12.8 million in money market accounts, $5.8 million in savings deposits~~at September 30, 2022 and ~~$2.6 million in non-interest bearing deposits, offset by a decrease of $17.5 million in certificates of deposit.~~at June 30, 2022.

The ~~decrease~~increase was due to ~~the repayment and non-renewal of short-term advances that no longer had advantageous rates.~~funding needs for loan growth. We have credit available under a loan agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta in the amount of 25% of our total assets as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, or approximately ~~$134.6~~$136.7 million. We had no federal funds purchased as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 or as of June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Total shareholders’ equity decreased ~~$8.1~~$5.9 million, or ~~9.2%~~7.8%, to ~~$80.0~~$69.4 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 compared to ~~$88.1~~$75.3 million at June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The decrease was primarily the result of net income for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 of ~~$3.1~~$1.3 million ~~and the increase of $290 thousand in ESOP shares earned~~ being more than offset by ~~$9.3~~$6.7 million in other comprehensive loss, ~~$598~~and $561 thousand ~~of stock repurchases and $1.7 million~~ in dividends distributed.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of funds are deposits and the proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive within our market and to increase core deposit relationships.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management. Our liquidity monitoring process is designed to contend with changing economic situations, which would include the ~~current~~ COVID-19 pandemic. We have therefore not changed our daily or long-term liquidity management procedures. We adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon management’s assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) yields available on interest-earning deposits and investment securities, and (iv) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning overnight deposits, federal funds sold, and short and intermediate-term U.S. Treasury and Government sponsored agencies and mortgage-backed securities of short duration.
