Basis of Financial Statement Presentation: The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Certain information and note disclosures usually included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the preparation of the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and with Regulation S-X. The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or shareholders’ equity.

Loans Receivable: Loans receivable The results of operations and other data presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are stated at unpaid principal balance, net of deferred fees, costs, and discounts, and the allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is recognized based upon the principal amount outstanding. Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or cost is recognized in interest income using the level yield method over the contractual lifenot necessarily indicative of the individual loans, adjusted for actual prepayments.

For all loan classes, the accrualresults of income on loans, including impaired loans, is generally discontinued when a loan becomes more than 90 days delinquent or when certain factors indicate reasonable doubt as to the ability of the borrower to meet contractual principal and/or interest obligations. Loans on which the accrual of income has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. All previously accrued interest is reversed and income is recognized subsequently only in the period received, provided the remaining principal balance is deemed collectible. A nonaccrual loan is not returned to an accrual status until principal and interest payments are brought current and factors indicating doubtful collection no longer exist.

Principal and interest payments received on non-accrual loans for which the remaining principal balance is not deemed collectible are applied as a reduction to principal and interest income is not recognized. If the principal balance on the loan is later deemed collectible and the loan is returned to accrual status, any interest paymentsoperations that were applied to principal while on non-accrual are recorded as an unearned discount on the loan, classified as deferred fees, costs and discounts, and are recognized into interest income using the level-yield method over the remaining contractual life the individual loan, adjusted for actual prepayments.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable and reasonably estimable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required for all portfolio segments using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be madeexpected for specific loans, butsubsequent periods or the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment,full year results. These financial statements should be charged off.read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto included in Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed on March 14, 2022.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific componentaccounting policies of the allowance relatesCompany conform to loans that are individually classified as impaired.U.S. GAAP and to general practice within the financial services industry. A loan is impaired when, baseddiscussion of these policies can be found in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due accordingForm 10-K. There have been no changes to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired.

Company’s significant accounting policies since December 31, 2021.


Segment Reporting

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. 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.

Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or,: The Company operates as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance (generally $400,000 or less) homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluatedsingle operating segment for impairment. Impaired loans also include all nonaccrual non-residential, multifamily and construction and land loans, and troubled debt restructurings.

Troubled debt restructured loans are those loans whose terms have been modified such that a concession has been granted because of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. Modifications could include extension of the terms of the loan, reduced interest rates, and forgiveness of accrued interest and/or principal. Once an obligation has been classified a troubled debt restructuring, it continues to be considered a troubled debt restructuring and is individually evaluated for impairment until paid in full. For a cash flow dependent loan, the Company records an impairment charge equal to the difference between the present value of the estimated future cash flows under the restructured terms discounted at the loans original effective interest rate, and the original loan’s carrying amount. For a collateral dependent loan, the Company records an impairment when the current estimated fair value, net of estimated costs to sell when necessary, of the property that collateralizes the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan.

The general component of the allowance covers non impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current qualitative factors. The historical loss experience is a quantitative factor determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company. These factors include consideration of the following:

•    Changes in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards, collections, and internal loan review practices;
•    Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio – increase (decrease) in portfolio category;
•    Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans – increase (decrease) in loans past due and on non-accrual;
•    Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans – increase (decrease) in classified loans;
•    Changes in the ratings for loans from Pass to Watch to Special Mention to Substandard;
•    Management assessment based on historical Bank performance and peer market data for Probability-Driven Loss Given Default (PD/LGD) for each loan type, weighted by:
o    State of the local economy, including regional economic conditions;
o    Local and regional unemployment;
o    Delinquency and foreclosure rates in the local market;
o    Valuations and level of activity in the local housing market;
o    Other factors, including local and federal government intervention in economic situations which could support or impair credit and valuation, and broader macroeconomic considerations, as well as evolving marketplace, regulatory and legal risk factors

The loan portfolio is categorized according to collateral type, loan purpose, lien position, or borrower type (i.e., commercial, consumer). The categories used include residential one-to-four family, multifamily, non-residential, construction and land, junior liens, commercial and industrial (consisting of Paycheck Protection Program, or “PPP”, loans), and consumer and other.

Retirement Benefits: Effective January 1, 2020 the Defined Benefit Plan adopted by the Company has been amended to freeze the plan, eliminating all future benefit accruals. The plan was a noncontributory, defined benefit, multiemployer pension plan which covered employees who meet certain eligibility requirements of the plan. Pension plan costs, based upon actuarial assumptions of current and future benefits for employees, are charged to expense and are funded based on the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income taxreporting purposes.

The Company provides certain healthcare benefits, subject to certain limitations, to eligible retirees, based upon years of service and a retirement date prior to January 1, 2019. The Company also provides supplemental retirement benefits to certain directors. The Company measures the cost of these benefits based upon various estimates and assumptions. Costs are recognized as directors render service.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards: Effective January 1, 2020,No new accounting standards were adopted during the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheetthree and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard permits entities to use an optional transition method which allows an entity to continue to use guidance from ASC 840 in the comparative periods presented in the adoption year of ASC 842. The optional election also allows entities to utilize several practical expedients including the recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the adoption year. Since all leases at the Company were accounted for as operating leases under ASC 840 and are still considered to be operating leases under ASC 842, no adjustment was needed to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period. Other practical expedients utilized included:six months ended June 30, 2022.

Carry over of historical lease determination and lease classification conclusions
Carry over of historical initial direct cost balances for existing leases
Accounting for lease and non-lease components in contracts in which the Company is a lessee as a single lease component

Adoption of the leasing standard resulted in the recognition of operating right-of-use assets of $6.0 million and operating lease liabilities of $6.0 million as of January 1, 2020. These amounts were determined based on the present value of remaining minimum lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the later of the date of adoption or the date of the lease. There was no material impact to the timing of expense or income recognition in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted: As an “emerging growth company” as defined in Title 1 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act prior to December 31, 2019, the Company elected to use the extended transition period to delay the adoption of new or reissued accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements were made applicable to private companies.

The FASB issued, but the Company has not yet adopted, ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” to replace the incurred loss model for loans and other financial assets with an expected loss models,model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL)(“CECL”) model. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized costs,cost, including loan receivables and held-to maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in certain leases recognized by a lessor. In addition, the

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

amendments in Topic 326 require credit losses on available-for-sale securities to be presented as a valuation allowance rather than a direct write-down on the basis of the securities. The Company is required to adopt this standard onby January 1, 2023. At this time,

The change from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model represents a fundamental shift from existing GAAP and may result in a material increase to the Company's accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. To prepare for implementation of the new standard the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact thathas established a cross functional steering committee comprised of members from different disciplines including finance, credit, risk management, internal audit, lending, and operations, among others. The Company has also engaged a third-party consultant to assist with model development, data governance and operational controls to support the adoption of CECLthis ASU. A detailed implementation plan has been developed which includes assessing the processes, portfolio segmentation, model development and validation, and system requirements and resources needed. The Company has begun to evaluate the effect that this ASU will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The Company expects the new credit models will include additional assumptions used to calculate credit losses over the estimated life of the financial statements, but isassets and will include the impact of forecasted macroeconomic conditions. The Company has a system provider for modeling. Upon the Company's adoption of CECL, the change from the incurred loss model to the CECL model will be recognized through an adjustment to retained earnings. The future impact of CECL on the Company’s allowance for credit losses, and provision expense, subsequent to initial adoption, will depend on changes in processthe loan portfolio, economic conditions, and refinements to key assumptions including forecasting and qualitative factors. Furthermore, the adoption of developing a methodologyASU 2016-13 will necessitate that we establish an allowance for expected credit losses for certain debt securities and other financial assets, however we do not expect these allowances to implement the standard.be significant.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. The amendments provide expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts or hedging relationships affected by the discontinuance of LIBOR as a benchmark rate to alleviate the burden and cost of such modifications. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments also provide a one-time election to sell and/or transfer debt securities classified as held to maturity that reference a rate affected by reference rate reform. The update is in effect for a limited time from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company continues to evaluate its financial instruments indexed to USDLIBOR for which Topic 848 provides expedients, exceptions and elections. The Company is monitoring and developing transition plans to address potential revisions to documentation, as well as customer management and communication, internal training, financial, operational and risk management implications, and legal and contract management. The Company continues to assess the expected impact of LIBOR cessation on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope”. The update specifically addresses whether Topic 848 applies to derivative instruments that do not reference a rate that is expected to be discontinued but that instead use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform, commonly referred to as the “discounting transition.” This ASU extends certain optional expedients provided in Topic 848 to contract modifications and derivatives affected by the discounting transition. The amendments in ASU 2021-01 may be applied under a retrospective approach as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is after March 12, 2020 or prospectively to new modifications made on or after any date within the interim period including January 7, 2021. The update is in effect for a limited time from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures”. The amendments in this ASU were issued to (1) eliminate accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty; (2) require disclosures of current period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. For entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, this update will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December

15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively, except for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, where there is an option to apply a modified retrospective transition method, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

There was 1 collateralized loan obligation held to maturity security with a fair value of $3.0 million, in an unrecognized loss position of $26 thousand at December 31, 2020.

On March 31, 2021, the 4 U.S. Government agency obligations, 1 U.S Treasury, 1 obligation issued by a U.S State and 17 mortgage-backed securities held by the Company were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2022 totaled 96, compared with 44 at December 31, 2021. The increase in the available-for-sale portfolio.number of securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2022 was due to higher current market interest rates compared to rates at December 31, 2021. Of the 96 available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2022, 59 are comprised of U.S. Government agency obligations, Treasury notes, and mortgage-backed securities. These securities were all issued by U.S. Government-sponsored entities and agencies, which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. There were also 75 municipal bonds, 29 investment grade corporate bonds and 3 asset-backed securities in an unrealized loss position. The Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired due to the decline in fair value being attributable to changes in interest rates and liquidity, not credit quality. The Company also does not intend to sell these securities, nor does it foresee being required to sell them before the anticipated recovery (maturity).

The Company did not have any held to maturity securities in an unrecognized loss position for more than twelve months at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The commercial and industrial portfolio is comprised of general commercial and industrial loans, including Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans. At June 30, 2022, PPP loans totaled $2.0 million, net of unearned deferred fees.

The portfolio classes in the above table have unique risk characteristics with respect to credit quality:

Payment on multifamily and non-residential mortgages is driven principally by operating results of the managed properties or underlying business and secondarily by the sale or refinance of such properties. Both primary and secondary sources of repayment, and value of the properties in liquidation, may be affected to a greater extent by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy in general.
Properties underlying construction and land loans often do not generate sufficient cash flows to service debt and thus repayment is subject to ability of the borrower and, if applicable, guarantors, to complete development or construction of the property and carry the project, often for extended periods of time. As a result, the performance of these loans is contingent upon future events whose probability at the time of origination is uncertain.
Commercial and Industrial Loans consist of Small Business Administration (SBA)SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans and other loans that are originated or purchased. This program originated from the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES)(“CARES”) Act. The SBA will forgive loans if all employee retention criteria are met, and the funds are used for eligible expenses.
The ability of borrowers to service debt in the residential one-to-four family, junior liens and consumer loan portfolios is generally subject to personal income which may be impacted by general economic conditions, such as increased unemployment levels. These loans are predominately collateralized by first and second liens on single family properties. If a borrower cannot maintain the loan, the Company’s ability to recover against the collateral in sufficient amount and in a timely manner may be significantly influenced by market, legal and regulatory conditions.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the quality and realizable value of collateral, if any, and the ability of borrowers to service their debts such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed whenever a credit is extended, renewed, or modified, or when an observable event occurs indicating a potential decline in credit quality, and no less than annually for large balance loans. The Company used the following definitions for risk ratings for loan classification:

Pass – Loans classified as pass are loans classified other than Pass:performing under the original contractual terms, do not currently pose any identified risk and can range from the highest to pass/watch quality, depending on the degree of potential risk.

Special Mention – Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound 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 repayment and liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by distinct possibility that the Company 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 known facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss – Assets classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthlessthe asset even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.

NOTE 6 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

The Company maintains an ESOP, a tax-qualified plan for the benefit of all Company employees designed to invest primarily in the Company’s common stock. The ESOP provides employees with the opportunity to receive a funded retirement benefit from the Bank, based primarily on the value of the Company’s common stock.

The ESOP borrowed funds from the Company to purchase 2,281,800 shares of stock at $10 per share. The loan is secured by the shares purchased, which are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants. Shares are released for allocation to participants as loan payments are made. Loan payments are principally funded by discretionary cash contributions by the Bank, as well as dividends paid to the ESOP on unallocated shares. When loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to participants at the end of the plan year (December 31) based on relative compensation, subject to federal tax law limits. Participants receive the shares at the end of employment. Dividends on allocated shares increase participants accounts.

At June 30, 2022, the principal balance on the ESOP loan is $21.8 million. There were no contributions to the ESOP during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as loan payments are made annually during the fourth quarter of each year. ESOP shares are committed for release from unallocated and compensation expense are recognized over the service period. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, 22,818 shares were committed to be released from unallocated and ESOP compensation expense totaled $282 thousand. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, 45,636 shares were committed to be released from unallocated and ESOP compensation expense totaled $604 thousand. There was no ESOP compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

NOTE 78RETIREMENT PLANSACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The Company participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (the “Pentegra DB Plan”), a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan. There is no separate valuation of multi-employer plan benefits nor segregation of plan assets specifically for the Company because the Plan is a multi-employer plan. The Pentegra DB Plan operates as a multi-employer plan for accounting purposes and as a multiple-employer plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code. There are no collective bargaining agreements in place that require contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan. Benefits are based on years of service and compensation prior to retirement. Annually, Pentegra determines the contributions required to be made by each participating Company, and these contributions are expensed during the year they relate to. The benefits are based on years of service and employee’s compensation. Effective January 1, 2020 this plan was frozen to all current plan participants, eliminating all future benefit accruals. Employees affected by the Defined Benefit Plan amendments noted above will be automatically enrolled into the profit-sharing plan.

The Pentegra DB Plan is a single plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 413(c) and, as a result, all of the assets stand behind all of the liabilities. Accordingly, under the Pentegra DB Plan contributions made by a participating employer may be used to provide benefits to participants of other participating employers.

The Company has a savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which covers substantially all employees upon employment who have attained the age of 18. Under the plan, employee contributions are partially matched by the Company at its sole discretion.

The Company provides certain health insurance benefits for retired employees and directors meeting plan eligibility requirements. Effective January 1, 2019 the employee postretirement health benefit plan was curtailed, leaving only 10 retired participants and beneficiaries remaining in the plan. Active participants who met certain requirements received payments in lieu of future benefits. The plans are unfunded as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the obligation is included in other liabilities as an accrued postretirement benefit cost.


27.


The Company maintains an Executive Supplemental Income Retirement Plan “SERP” for certain employees and a Director Retirement Plan “DRP”. As the SERP and DRP plans are unfunded, there are no plan assets associated with these plans.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) 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 accessCompany’s post-retirement plans, as of the measurement date.consolidated balance sheet dates, net of the related tax effect.

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 company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Securities: For securities available-for-sale and equity securities, fair value was estimated using a market approach. The majority of the Company’s securities are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are traded in active markets. Prices for these instruments are obtained through third party data service providers or dealer market participants with which the Company has historically transacted both purchases and sales of securities. Prices obtained from these sources include market quotations and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing, a Level 2 input as defined by ASC 820, is a mathematical technique used principally to value certain securities to benchmark or comparable securities. The Company evaluates the quality of Level 2 matrix pricing through comparison to similar assets with greater liquidity and evaluation of projected cash flows. The Company also holds equity securities and debt instruments issued by the U.S. government and U.S. government sponsored agencies that are traded in active markets with readily accessible quoted market prices that are considered Level 1 inputs.


28.


Derivatives: The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2). The Company’s derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available. Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates, and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services.

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 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.

Assets Held for Sale: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain non-residential properties classified as assets held for sale are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are based on contracts / letters of intent.

REO: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain non-residential, construction and land, and residential one-to-four family real estate properties classified as REO are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may use 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.

NOTE 9 – ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOMEFAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

AccumulatedFair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) 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 comprehensive income representsobservable 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.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

33.Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions for the Company’s financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are set forth below.

Securities held-to-maturity: The Company’s debt securities held-to-maturity portfolio is carried at amortized cost. The fair values of debt securities held-to-maturity are provided by a third-party pricing service. The pricing service may use quoted market prices of comparable instruments or a variety of other forms of analysis, incorporating inputs that are currently observable in the markets for similar securities. Inputs that are often used in the valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, benchmark yields, credit spreads, default rates, prepayment speeds and non-binding broker quotes.

Loans, net: Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as residential mortgage and consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and non-performing categories. Estimated fair value of loans is determined using a discounted cash flow model that employs an exit discount rate that reflects the current market pricing for loans with similar characteristics and remaining maturity, adjusted for estimated credit losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date.

Time Deposits: The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using rates for currently offered deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal Home Loan advances: The fair value of borrowings is based on securities dealers’ estimated fair values, when available, or estimated using discounted cash flow analysis. The discount rates used approximate the rates offered for similar borrowings of similar remaining terms.

NOTE 11 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares (such as stock options) were exercised or converted into additional common shares that would then share in the earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, plus the effect of potential dilutive common share equivalents.

There were no securities or other contracts that had a dilutive effect during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and therefore the weighted-average common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted EPS are the same. Shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) that have not been allocated to employees in accordance with the terms of the ESOP, referred to as “unallocated ESOP shares”, are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations. Earnings per share data is not applicable for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as the Company had no shares outstanding.

Executive Summary

COVID-19 Pandemic
During the past year, economies throughout the world have been severely disrupted by the effects of the quarantines, business closures, and the reluctance of individuals to leave their homes as a result of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Our primary market area of New Jersey became part of several epicenters of the COVID-19 pandemic. The full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and evolving. The outbreak and any preventative or protective actions that the Company or its customers have taken or may take in respect of this virus may result in extended periods of disruption to the Company, its customers, service providers, and third parties. The Bank evaluated the potential range of impacts from COVID-19 on its significant estimates as of March 31, 2021. These impacts were reflected inhas identified the allowance for loan losses through qualitative and quantitative factors. In addition, the Bank capital ratios wereto be a critical accounting policy. This accounting policy is discussed in excess of all regulatory requirements. The extentNote 1 to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Banking and financial services have been designated essential businesses; therefore, the Bank’s operations are continuing, subject to certain modifications to business practices imposed to safeguard the health and wellness of the Bank’s customers and employees, and to comply with applicable government directives.

While we continue to support our customers through granting payment deferrals for those who have experienced pandemic related hardships, we are working diligently toward returning customers to a current payment status.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations to establish an allowance for loan losses at a level necessary to absorb probable and incurredpotential losses inherent in our loan portfolio 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 analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including, but not limited to, management’s ongoing review and grading of loans, facts and issues related to specific loans, historical loan loss and delinquency experience, trends in past due and non-accrual loans, existing risk characteristics of

specific loans or loan pools, the fair value of underlying collateral, current economic conditions and other qualitative and quantitative factors which could affect potential credit losses.

After an evaluation of these factors, the Company recorded a recoveryprovision for loan losses of $594 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a release of $553 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The provision for the three month period ended June 30, 2022 was driven by growth in the multifamily and non-residential portfolios. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a release of provision for loan losses of $0.8$358 thousand compared to a release of $1.4 million for the threesix months ended March 31, 2021 compared to a provision of $1.5 millionJune 30, 2021.

As the pandemic emerged in March of 2020, the Company increased its allowance for loan losses by $1.5 million to $16.0 million as of March 31, 2020. As the economic effects of the pandemic continued to unfold, the Company increased its allowance by another $1.25 million as of June 30, 2020 to $17.25 million, where it remained through September 30, 2020 despite loan balances declining due to increased loan payoffs driven by record-low interest rates. Subsequently, credit quality continued to stabilize, and by December 31, 2020, the Company had reduced its provision slightly, to $16.96 million. The first quarter of 2021 saw continued strengthening of credit quality, as seen in the declining delinquency rates and balances of non-performing loans. Total non-performing loans increased from $3.9decreased by $2.0 million to $10.0 million at March 31, 2020June 30, 2022 compared to $12.9$12.0 million at December 31, 2020, and subsequently decreased $0.5 million to $12.4 million at March 31, 2021.

Our allowance for loan losses and letters of credit and commitments was $17.2 million at March 31, 2021 compared to $16.0 million at March 31, 2020, of which $1.1 million and $0, respectively, related to the allowance for letters of credit and commitments. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.25% (0.1% higher excluding PPP loans) at March 31, 2021 compared to 1.13% at March 31, 2020, while the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 130.40% at March 31, 2021 compared to 408.87% at March 31, 2020. The Company had charge-offs of $1 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $1 thousand of charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased $1.6 million,decreased $126 thousand, or 173.8%20.3%, to $0.7 million$494 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021June 30, 2022 from non-interest loss of $0.9 million$620 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The primary drivers of this increase were the valuation allowance taken on the real estate owned component of the headquarters complex in 2020, which amountedJune 30, 2021, and increased $134 thousand, or 10.4%, to $1.4 million coupled with an increasefor the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The fluctuations in non-interest income for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2022 were primarily related to prepayment fee activity. Prepayment fees decreased $163 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $44 thousand from $207 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, prepayment fees increased $175 thousand to $562 thousand from $387 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Overdraft fees recognized during the three and service charges of $223six months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $69 thousand in 2021.and $138 thousand, respectively, compared to $52 thousand and $100 thousand for the 2021 periods. Account maintenance fees recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $16 thousand and $33 thousand, respectively, compared to $20 thousand and $40 thousand for the 2021 periods.

Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $11.4increased $1.2 million, or 48.0%10.3%, to $12.4$13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021June 30, 2022 from $23.8$11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The primary driver of this decrease was relatedJune 30, 2021 and increased $2.1 million, or 8.5%, to a $12.8$26.2 million loss on assets held for sale recognized inthe six months ended June 30, 2022 from $24.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, with no comparable expenseJune 30, 2022, the increase was driven by increased compensation and benefits costs as the Company continued to hire and retain talent, an increase in fees for professional services due to higher

audit, compliance and CECL implementation costs, an increase in other expenses for additional cost related to being a publicly held company and a lower recovery in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Contributing toprovision for commitments and letters of credit. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in data processing costs. The increase in the decreasesix month period was a reduction in professional services expense of $0.7 million, or 33.9%, to $1.4 millionalso driven by the items described above for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Partially offsetting this decrease compared to the prior period were increases in compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment, and data processing of $0.4 million, $0.6 million, and $0.8 million, respectively.month period.

Income Tax Expense. The Company recognized an income tax benefitexpense of $0.6 million$3 thousand for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 compared to an income tax expense of $283 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and income tax expense of $52 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to an income tax benefit of $4.7$268 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in tax expense for the 2022 periods was driven by the $763 thousand and $2.7 million increase in pre-tax income for the three and six months ended MarchJune 30, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 8.1% and (13.3)%, respectively.

At December 31, 2020, resulting2021, the net deferred tax asset totaled $16.8 million. Management assessed the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax asset. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2021. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our projections for future growth. On the basis of this evaluation, for the year ended December 31, 2021, a valuation allowance of $16.8 million was recorded.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the deferred tax asset, net of the deferred tax liability, increased $4.7 million to $21.5 million. The increase is related to net unrealized losses that arose during the period within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”).

The increase was due primarily to an increase in Loans Receivable of $14.4 million coupled with an increase in Securities Available for Sale of $29.9 million, partially offset by a decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents of $24.3 million. Total liabilities increased $21.2 million, or 1.22%, from $1.74 billion at December 31, 2020 to $1.76 billion at March 31, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term and long-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, calls of investment securities and borrowed funds and prepayments on loans are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

Management regularly adjusts our investments in liquid assets based upon an assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and (4) the objectives of our interest-rate risk and investment policies.

The Company has entered into derivativeAt June 30, 2022, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $70.0 million and unused lines of credit of $59.9 million. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current loan origination commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from June 30, 2022 totaled $315.6 million. Management expects, based on historical experience, that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense. Available borrowing capacity at June 30, 2022 was $49.0 million with Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. We also had a $30.0 million available line of credit with a correspondent bank and a $2.5 million available line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at June 30, 2022.

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to reduce risk associated withmeet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to originate loans, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit, which involve elements of credit and interest rate volatilityrisk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by matching asset maturities and liability maturities. These derivatives had an aggregate notionalthe contractual amount of $109.0 millionthe instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments that we do for on-balance sheet instruments.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Qualitative Analysis. Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our financial condition and results of operations to changes in market interest rates. Our ALCO/Investment Committee, which consists of members of management, is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the policy and guidelines approved by our board of directors. We currently utilize a third-party modeling program, prepared on a quarterly basis, to evaluate our sensitivity to changing interest rates, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors.

We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk: growing target deposit accounts; utilizing our investment securities portfolio and interest rate swaps as part of our balance sheet asset and liability and interest rate risk management strategy to reduce the impact of movements in interest rates on net interest income and economic value of equity, which can create temporary valuation adjustments to equity in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income; continuing the diversification of our loan portfolio by adding more commercial loans, which typically have shorter maturities and/or balloon payments; and continuing to price our one-to-four family residential real estate loan products in a way that encourages borrowers to select our adjustable-rate loans as opposed to longer-term, fixed-rate loans.payments.

By following these strategies, we believe that we are better positioned to react to increases and decreases in market interest rates.

We generally do not engage in hedging activities other than cash flow hedging on interest expense, such as engaging in futures or options, or investing in high-risk mortgage derivatives, such as collateralized mortgage obligation residual interests, real estate mortgage investment conduit residual interests or stripped mortgage-backed securities.

The Company has entered into derivative financial instruments to reduce risk associated with interest rate volatility by matching asset maturities and liability maturities. These derivatives had an aggregate notional amount of $109.0 million as of June 30, 2022.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced that it intendsintended to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. Most tenors of LIBOR will cease being published on June 30, 2023, although some tenors ceased at the end of 2021. The Bank has not been materially impacted by the partial LIBOR cessations on December 31, 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to USD-LIBOR for use in financial contracts that are currently indexed to USD-LIBOR. The Company has approximately $28.9$42.4 million in financial instrumentsloans, $30.8 million in investments and $109.0 million notional of derivatives which are indexed to USD-LIBOR for which it is monitoring the activity and assessing the related risks. The Company is monitoring and developing transition plans to address potential revisions to documentation, as well as customer management and communication, internal training, financial, operational and risk management implications, and legal and contract management. If LIBOR rates are no longer available and we are required to implement substitute indices for the calculation of interest rates, we may incur expenses in effecting the transition, we may suffer a loss in the conversion to a new rate because the new rate may not be equal to what we were being paid on the LIBOR rate, and may be subject to disputes or litigation with customers and security holders over the appropriateness or comparability to LIBOR of the substitute indices, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Quantitative Analysis. We compute amounts by which the net present value of our cash flow from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. The economic value of equity (“EVE”) analysis estimates the change in the net present value (“NPV”) of assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts over a range of immediate rate shock interest rate scenarios. This model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach to measure the interest rate sensitivity of net portfolio value. Historically, the model estimated the economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance sheet contract under the assumption that the United States Treasury yield curve increases or decreases instantaneously by 100 to 400 basis points in 100 basis point increments. However, given the current level of market interest rates, an NPV calculation for an interest rate decrease of greater than 100 basis points has not been prepared. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100-basis point increase in the “Basis Point Change in Interest Rates” column below.

The following table sets forth, at March 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, the calculation of the estimated changes in ourto the Bank’s net portfolio valueinterest income, at the bank level, that would result from the specified immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve. For purposes of this table, 100 basis points equals 1%.

The table above indicates that at March 31, 2021,June 30, 2022, in the event of an instantaneous 100 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 3%16% decrease in EVE. In the event of an instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 14% increase in net portfolio value.EVE.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The above table assumes that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the date indicated remains constant uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the

duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our NPV and will differ from actual results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term and long-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, calls of investment securities and borrowed funds and prepayments on loans are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Management regularly adjusts our investments in liquid assets based upon an assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and (4) the objectives of our interest-rate risk and investment policies.

Blue Foundry Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by NJDOBI and the FDIC. At March 31, 2021, Blue Foundry Bank exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and was considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

At March 31, 2021, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $0.97 million and unused lines of credit of $45.29 million. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current loan origination commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from March 31, 2021 totaled $537.1 million. Management expects, based on historical experience, that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense. Available borrowing capacity at March 31, 2021 was $69.3 million with Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. We also had a $30 million available line of credit with a correspondent bank and a $2.5 million available line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at March 31, 2021.

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to originate loans, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit, which involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments that we do for on-balance sheet instruments. Management believes that our current sources of liquidity are more than sufficient to fulfill our obligations as of March 31, 2021 pursuant to off-balance-sheet arrangements and contractual obligations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
