Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets increased $51.7 million, or 2.5%, to $2.1 billion at June 30, 2026, from $2.1 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase in assets was primarily due to an increase in net loans of $59.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $7.8 million.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $7.8 million, or 9.6%, to $73.4 million at June 30, 2026 from $81.2 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents partially funded the increase of $59.4 million in net loans.
Equity securities increased $757,000, or 2.8%, to $27.3 million at June 30, 2026 from $26.6 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in equity securities was attributable to the purchase of $1.0 million in equity securities during the six months ended June 30, 2026, partially offset by market depreciation of $243,000 due to market interest rate volatility during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Securities held-to-maturity decreased $564,000, or 3.1%, to $17.8 million at June 30, 2026 from $18.3 million at December 31, 2025 due to pay-downs of various investment securities and an increase of $9,000 to the allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity securities, partially offset by the purchase of $470,000 in municipal securities.
Loans, net of the allowance for credit losses, increased $59.4 million, or 3.2%, to $1.9 billion at June 30, 2026 from $1.9 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase in loans consisted of an increase of $67.2 million in construction loans, partially offset by decreases of $4.9 million in multi-family loans, $2.2 million in non-residential loans, $200,000 in mixed-use loans, $69,000 in one-to-four family loans, $23,000 in consumer loans, and $3,000 in commercial and industrial loans.

The $606.7 million in construction loans had $262.7 million, or 43.3%, disbursed at loan closing, with the remaining funds to be disbursed over the terms of the construction loans. These disbursements were offset by normal pay-downs and principal reductions as construction projects were completed and either condominium units were sold to end buyers or multi-family rental buildings were refinanced by other financial institutions. The commercial and industrial loans had $19.0 million, or 75.7%, disbursed at loan closing as of June 30, 2026.
The allowance for credit losses related to loans was $4.6 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses related to loans had a provision for credit losses totaling $568,000 and charge-offs totaling $547,000. The provision for credit losses totaling $568,000 was due to an increase in the loan portfolio and a slight increase in the remaining terms of the loan portfolio.
The allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet commitments increased $284,000, or 32.3%, to $1.2 million at June 30, 2026 from $879,000 at December 31, 2025 due primarily to an increase of $204.2 million, or 30.0%, in off-balance sheet commitments from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026.
The allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity securities increased $9,000, or 7.1%, to $135,000 at June 30, 2026 from $126,000 at December 31, 2025 due to an increase in our municipal bond portfolio.
Premises and equipment decreased $356,000, or 1.4%, to $25.0 million at June 30, 2026 from $25.4 million at December 31, 2025 primarily due to the amortization of fixed assets.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock increased by $133,000, or 32.4%, to $543,000 at June 30, 2026 from $410,000 at December 31, 2025 primarily due to an increase in our mortgage-related assets.
Bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) increased $364,000, or 1.4%, to $26.8 million at June 30, 2026 from $26.4 million at December 31, 2025 due to increases in the BOLI cash value.
Accrued interest receivable decreased $39,000, or 0.3%, to $12.2 million at June 30, 2026 from $12.2 million at December 31, 2025 due to a decrease in the yield in the loan portfolio.

Right of use assets — operating decreased $360,000, or 7.7%, to $4.3 million at June 30, 2026 from $4.7 million at December 31, 2025, primarily due to depreciation of the right of use assets.
Other assets increased $117,000, or 1.1%, to $11.1 million at June 30, 2026 from $11.0 million at December 31, 2025 due to an increase of $725,000 in suspense accounts, partially offset by decreases of $528,000 in tax assets and $90,000 in prepaid expenses.
Total deposits decreased $80.4 million, or 5.0%, to $1.5 billion at June 30, 2026 from $1.6 billion at December 31, 2025. The decrease in deposits was primarily due to decreases in certificates of deposit of $190.8 million, or 21.2%, and savings account balances of $10.6 million, or 7.5%, partially offset by increases in NOW/money market accounts of $67.5 million, or 22.3% and non-interest bearing deposits of $53.5 million, or 19.7%.

The decrease in brokered certificates of deposit and non-brokered listing services certificates of deposit was due to management’s strategy to reduce the cost of funds by “calling” higher rate brokered deposits on their call dates and to rely less on brokered deposits and non-brokered listing service deposits. The decrease in retail certificates of deposit was due to a shift in deposits to our retail high yield money market accounts.
Advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance increased $210,000, or 8.9%, to $2.6 million at June 30, 2026 from $2.4 million at December 31, 2025 due primarily to accumulation of real estate tax payments from borrowers.
Borrowings increased $120.0 million, or 171.4%, to $190.0 million at June 30, 2026 from $70.0 million at December 31, 2025 due primarily to management’s strategy to reduce the cost of funds and lessen reliance on brokered deposits and non-brokered listing service deposits.
Lease liability – operating decreased $329,000, or 6.9%, to $4.5 million at June 30, 2026 from $4.8 million at December 31, 2025, primarily due to the amortization of the lease liability.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $980,000, or 6.0%, to $18.6 million at June 30, 2026 from $17.3 million at December 31, 2025 due primarily to increases in accounts payable of $1.3 million, suspense account – loan closings of $322,000, deferred compensation of $291,000, the allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet commitments of $284,000, and accrued interest expense of $107,000, partially offset by a decrease in accrued expenses of $1.0 million.
Stockholders’ equity increased $10.9 million, or 3.1% to $362.6 million at June 30, 2026, from $351.7 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in stockholders’ equity was due to net income of $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, the amortization expense of $1.1 million relating to restricted stock and stock options granted under the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, an increase of $371,000 in earned employee stock ownership plan shares coupled with a reduction of $261,000 in unearned employee stock ownership plan shares, $37,000 in stock options exercised, and $25,000 in other comprehensive income.

The decrease in net interest income of $424,000, or 1.7%, was primarily due to a decrease in interest income that exceeded a decrease in interest expense caused by a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets that exceeded the decrease in the cost of funds for interest-bearing liabilities.
Total interest and dividend income decreased $2.0 million, or 5.2%, to $36.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $38.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

The decrease in interest expense was also due to a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $16.0 million, or 1.2%, to $1.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $1.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

The decrease in the net interest margin was due to a 75 basis points decrease in the Federal Funds rate from September 2025 to December 2025 that resulted in a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a smaller decrease in the cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities.
