This report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, including those relating to the filing of the 2025 Form 10-K, other than statements of historical fact included in this report are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend" and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or its management team, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company's management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Company.

| (2) | Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). Yes ☒ No ☐ |
| (3) | Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof ? Yes ☒ No ☐ |
|  | If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.<br>For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Company reported net earnings of $181,000 or $0.02 diluted earnings per share for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a net loss of $1.7 million or $(0.21) diluted earnings per share for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $1.9 million. The net loss for the twelve months ended June 30, 2024 included a $947,000 goodwill impairment charge recorded in the three month period ended June 30, 2024 that was absent from the results of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Net interest income increased by $1.4 million or 19.3% and totaled $8.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, as interest income increased $3.0 million or 18.2% to $19.2 million and interest expense increased $1.6 million or 17.4% to $10.9 million. Non-interest expense decreased $617,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to absence of the previously mentioned goodwill impairment charge of $917,000 recorded in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. The average rate earned on interest-earning assets increased 63 basis points to 5.25% and was the primary reason for the increase in interest income for the year recently ended, although average interest-earning assets also increased $14.1 million or 4.0% to $366.6 million for the year recently ended. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 35 basis points to 3.47% due to having to pay higher rates to attract deposits and was the primary reason for the increase in interest expense, although average interest-bearing liabilities also increased $16.7 million or 5.6%. Net interest margin increased 29 basis points to 2.28%.  |
