As such, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended *December 31, 2024*, included in the Company's Special Financial Report on Form *10*-K for the year ended *December 31, 2024* (*"2024* Form *10*-K").

Application of the principles of GAAP and practices within the banking industry requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgements that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgements are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements *may* reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgements. Certain policies inherently rely more extensively on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgements and as such *may* have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses on loans.

The results of operations for the *three* and *six* months ended *June 30, 2025*, is *not* necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year or any other interim period. The Company's significant accounting policies followed in preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note *1* of the *2024* Form *10*-K. There have been *no* significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since *December 31, 2024*.

Certain items in the prior period financial statement have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had *no* effect on prior year net income or stockholder's equity.

The accounting policies followed by the Bancorp and the Bank and the methods of applying these policies conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and with general practices within the banking industry. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiary have been eliminated. The accompanying interim period financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included.

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements***

In *December 2023,* the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU *2023*-*09,* "Income Taxes (Topic *740*): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, which is greater than *five* percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income by the entity's applicable statutory rate, on an annual basis. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions that are equal to or greater than *five* percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). Lastly, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after *December 15, 2024.* Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company does *not* expect the adoption of ASU *2023*-*09* to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In *November 2024,* the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU *2024*-*03,* "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic *220*-*40*): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." ASU *2024*-*03* requires public companies to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, specific information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. This includes disclosing amounts related to employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In addition, public companies will need to provide qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are *not* separately disaggregated quantitatively. ASU *2024*-*03* is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after *December 15, 2026,* and interim reporting periods beginning after *December 15, 2027.* Implementation of ASU *2024*-*03 may* be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does *not* expect the adoption of ASU *2024*-*03* to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

***Common stock held by ESOP***

The Company classifies equity securities as temporary equity if those securities are redeemable at the option of the holder or upon the occurrence of an event *not* solely within the issuer control. Thus, shares of common stock held by an ESOP, whether non-leveraged or leveraged, that are redeemable at the option of the participant must be classified within temporary equity and classified as Redeemable Common Stock Held By Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Changes in the value of the redeemable ESOP shares are recognized in the Maximum Cash Obligation Related to ESOP shares as a component of stockholders' equity.

The Company's maximum cash obligations related to these shares is classified outside stockholders' equity because the shares are *not* readily traded and could be put to the Company for cash.

At *June 30, 2025*, the $206,000 unrealized loss (less than *12* months) was attributed to 32 different securities. The $4,407,000 unrealized loss (*12* months or more) was attributed to 174 securities. At *December 31, 2024*, the $471,000 unrealized loss (less than *12* months) was attributed to 42 different securities. The $5,184,000 unrealized loss (*12* months or more) was attributed to 192 securities. *None* of the unrealized losses are individually significant. Management believes, based upon an evaluation of the issuers of the debt securities, that the unrealized losses on debt securities were the result of fluctuations in market interest rates subsequent to purchase and *not* a result of credit risk. Management has the intent and ability to hold investments and does *not* believe it will have to sell the securities until the earlier of maturity or market price recovery.

***Restricted Investments in Bank Stock***

Restricted investments in bank stock represent required investments in the common stock of correspondent banks and consist of common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (FHLB) of $2,488,000 and $2,255,000 at *June 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, respectively, and other correspondent banks of $45,000 at *June 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*. As a member of the FHLB, the Bank is required to maintain an investment in FHLB stock based on mortgage loans, advances and other criteria. As *no* active market exists for this stock, it is carried at cost. All FHLB stock is pledged as collateral for FHLB advances. The Company evaluated its holding of FHLB stock for impairment and deemed the stock to not be impaired at *June 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024* . In making this determination, management concluded that recovery of total outstanding par value, which equals the carrying value, is expected. The decision was based upon review of financial information the FHLB has made publicly available.

The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis in its determination of the allowance for credit losses for loans, as well as elected the policy to write-off accrued interest receivable directly through the reversal of interest income. Accrued interest receivable totaled $1,286,000 and $1,179,000 at *June 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, respectively, and is included in "Accrued Interest Receivable" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

***Other Real Estate Owned***

Foreclosed assets held for sale consist of real estate acquired in settlement of foreclosed loans and is initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the time of transfer from loans to foreclosed, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to the transfer, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of the adjusted cost or fair value less costs to sell. Additional write-downs are charged against operating expenses. Costs related to the acquisition and holding of foreclosed assets are charged to operations when incurred. The fair value of real estate acquired through foreclosure is generally determined by reference to an outside appraisal. The Company held $78,000 in foreclosed assets as of *June 30, 2025*. The Company did not hold any foreclosed assets as of *December 31, 2024*. At *June 30, 2025* there were no loans in the process of foreclosure. There was *one* residential loan in the amount of $75,000 in the process of foreclosure as of *December 31, 2024*.

***Mortgage Servicing***

The Company retains the servicing rights on certain mortgage loans sold to the FHLB and Fannie Mae and receives mortgage banking fee income based upon the principal balance outstanding. The mortgage servicing rights recorded as an asset are *not* material. Total loans serviced for the FHLB and Fannie Mae amounted to $54,087,000 and $54,863,000 at *June 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, respectively. These mortgage loans sold and serviced by the Company are *not* reflected in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

***4.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Allowance for Credit Losses**

<u>Credit Quality Indicators</u> 

A Loan Risk Rating Grading System has been developed and is being utilized to categorize loans with similar characteristics. There are *six* (*6*) "Pass" Ratings and the standard "Classified" Watchlist Ratings. The loans are assessed based upon the information in the Loan Committee Package and a lender identified score. Further, any reassessment would be performed when the annual loan review is performed or when the loan account exhibits signs of financial difficulty or improvement. The definition of each Loan Risk Rating is outlined below:

**Pass (Grades *1*-*6*)** – These loans are to customers with credit quality ranging from an acceptable to very high quality and are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral.

**Special Mention (Grade *7*)** – This loan grade is in accordance with regulatory guidance and includes loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if *not* corrected.

**Substandard (Grade *8*)** – This loan grade is in accordance with regulatory guidance and includes loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are *not* corrected.

**Doubtful (Grade *9*)** – This loan grade is in accordance with regulatory guidance and includes loans that have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard asset. In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.

**Loss (Grade *10*)** – This loan grade is in accordance with regulatory guidance and includes loans that are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is *not* warranted.

To help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay the loan as agreed, the Company's loan rating process includes several layers of internal and external oversight. The Company's loan officers are responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans in each of their portfolios at origination and on an ongoing basis under the supervision of management. All commercial, agricultural and state and political relationships over $500,000 are reviewed annually to ensure the appropriateness of the loan grade. In addition, the Company engages an external consultant on an annual basis to: *1*) review a minimum of 50% of the dollar volume of the commercial and agricultural loan portfolios, including *2*) review of a sample of existing or new credit relationships with aggregate commitments greater than or equal to $1.0 million, *3*) review a sample of loan relationships which are over 90 days past due, or classified Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, or Loss, *4*) review a sample of borrowings extended to directors or executive officers, including any new borrowings made in the last year, and *5*) review of other loans which management *may* deem appropriate.

The Company individually evaluates loans for impairment when a loan meets the following criteria: credit risk rated substandard or doubtful and on non-accrual status, or a previously modified loan that is now past due *30* days or more.

The Company has certain loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Under ASU *2016*-*13,* for collateral dependent loans, the Company has adopted the practical expedient to measure the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of the collateral. The allowance for credit losses is calculated on an individual loan basis on the shortfall between the fair value of the loan's collateral, which is adjusted for liquidation costs, and amortized cost. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost, *no* allowance is required. The following table details the amortized costs of the collateral dependent loans as of *June 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024* (in thousands):

***Modifications***

In situations where a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, management grants a concession to the borrower that it would *not* otherwise consider, and the modification results in a more than insignificant change in contractual cash flows, the related loan is subject to specific disclosure requirements. Management strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty early and work with them to modify their loans to more affordable terms before their loans reach nonaccrual status. These modified terms *may* include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. Occasionally, we *may* modify a loan by providing principal forgiveness. In some cases, we will modify a loan by providing multiple types, or combinations, of concessions.

There were no loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the *three* and *six* months ended *June 30, 2025* and *2024*.

There were no loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that defaulted during the *three* and *six* months ended *June 30, 2025* and *2024* and were modified in the *twelve* months prior.

**<u>Unfunded Commitments</u>**

The Company maintains an allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded balances for existing lines of credit, commitments to extend future credit, as well as both standby and commercial letters of credit when there is a contractual obligation to extend credit and when this extension of credit is *not* unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for (or recovery of) credit losses and is included in provision for (recovery of) credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur, which is based on a historical funding study derived from internal information, and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life, which are the same loss rates that are used in computing the allowance for loan credit losses. The allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments of $277,000 and $377,000 at *June 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024,* respectively, is separately classified within Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

***6.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Benefits Plans**

***Section *401*(k) Plan***

The Company sponsors a contributory defined contribution Section *401*(k) plan covering substantially all employees who have completed one year of service, have worked 1,000 hours and have attained age twenty-one. The plan permits employees to make pretax contributions which are matched by the Company up to four percent of the employee's compensation. The Company's contributions were $89,000 and $81,000 for the *six* months ended *June 30, 2025* and *2024*, respectively. Contributions made by the Company vest immediately.

The Company has a profit-sharing employer contribution component to the *401*(k) Plan. The profit-sharing employer contribution is made at the discretion of management and the Board of Directors based upon current year earnings. The Company's contributions were $162,000 and $153,000 for the *six* months ended *June 30, 2025* and *2024*, respectively. Contributions made by the Company vest ratably beginning after the second year of service and are fully vested after an employee completes six years of service.

***Employee Stock Ownership Plan***

The Company sponsors an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) covering substantially all employees who have completed one year of service, have worked 1,000 hours and have attained age twenty-one. Contributions to the plan are permitted based upon management's discretion. The Company did not make any contributions to the plan during the *six* months ended *June 30, 2025* and *2024*. Contributions made by the Company vest ratably beginning after the second year of service and are fully vested after an employee completes six years of service. The number of shares held by the plan were 74,715 at *June 30, 2025* and 75,080 at *December 31, 2024*. All shares are allocated to participants.

In the event a terminated plan participant desires to sell his or her shares of the Company stock, or for certain employees who elect to diversify their account balances, the Company *may* be required to purchase the shares from the participant at their fair value. To the extent that shares of common stock held by the ESOP are *not* readily traded, a sponsor must reflect the maximum cash obligation related to those securities outside of stockholders' equity.

***Deferred Directors' Compensation***

The Company maintains deferred compensation plans with directors through which the payments of the directors' fees are deferred. The future liability of these agreements, which is payable in ten annual installments, was financed through the purchase of life insurance contracts.

The present value of the future liability of the plans at *June 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024* was $862,000 and $890,000, respectively, and is included in Other Liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The related expenses amounted to $40,000 and $89,000 for *June 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, respectively.

***Supplemental Retirement Plans***

The Company has an unfunded, non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) for certain key executives. The SERP is designed to provide certain executives, upon attaining age 65, with projected annual distributions. The liability of the SERP at *June 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024* was $1,569,000 and $1,521,000, respectively, and is included in Other Liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The related expense amounted to $86,000 and $90,000 for the periods ended *June 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, respectively. The Company offsets the cost of these plans through the purchase of bank-owned life insurance as noted below.

***Bank Owned Life Insurance***

The Company invests in bank owned life insurance (BOLI) as a source of funding for employee and director benefit expenses. BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Company on a chosen group of officers and directors. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the policies. This life insurance investment is carried at the cash surrender value of the underlying policies. Income from the increase in the cash surrender value of the policies is included with noninterest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The policies can be liquidated, if necessary, with tax costs associated. However, the Company intends to hold these policies and accordingly, the Company has *not* provided for deferred income taxes on the earnings from the increase in cash surrender value.

The Company recognizes a liability for postretirement benefits provided through an endorsed split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The liability for post-retirement benefits under these arrangements was $866,000 and $843,000 at *June 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, respectively, and is included in Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Expense in the *six* months ended *June 30, 2025* and *2024* was $23,000 and $2,000, respectively.

The Company holds bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) with a cash value of $13,092,000 and $12,966,000 at *June 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*, respectively. No additional split-dollar life insurance policies were added during the *six* months ended *June 30, 2025* or the year-ended *December 31, 2024*. The Plan provides that the Company and the officers and directors share in the rights to the death benefits of bank owned split-dollar life insurance policies (the "BOLI Policies") and provides for additional compensation to the officers and directors, equal to any income tax consequences related to the Supplemental Plan until retirement. The amount of the BOLI Policies has been calculated so that the projected increases in their cash surrender value will substantially offset the Company's expense related to the Supplemental Retirement Plans. In addition, the BOLI Policies are intended to provide the directors with $100,000 of supplemental life insurance and the executive officers with supplemental life insurance equal to three times salary. Neither the insurance company nor the Company has guaranteed any minimum cash value.

***7.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Regulatory Matters**

***Cash and Due from Banks***

Deposits with correspondent financial institutions are insured up to *$250,000* per institution. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with certain correspondent financial institutions in excess of the insured amount.

***Regulatory Capital Requirements***

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total capital, Tier *1* capital (as defined in the regulations) and common equity Tier *1* capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier *1* capital to average assets. A capital conservation buffer of 2.50 percent, comprised of common equity Tier I capital, is also established above the regulatory minimum capital requirements and must be maintained to avoid limitations on capital distributions.

The Bank has elected the community bank leverage ratio framework. This framework simplifies the regulatory capital requirements by requiring the Bank meet only the Tier *1* capital to average assets (leverage) ratio. The Bank must only maintain a leverage ratio greater than the 9 percent required minimum to be considered well capitalized under this framework. The Bank can opt out of the new framework and return to the risk-weighting framework at any time.

Management believes, as of *June 30, 2025*, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of *June 30, 2025*, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum ratios as set forth in the following tables. There are *no* conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are as follows as of *June 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024* (dollar in thousands):

The Federal Reserve Bank has established capital guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines allow small bank holding companies, as defined, an exemption from regulatory capital requirements. The Bancorp meets the eligibility criteria and is exempt from regulatory capital requirements.

***Dividends***

Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that *may* be paid by the Bank to the Company without prior regulatory approval and are subject to the minimum capital ratio requirements noted above.

***8.***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Fair Value Measurements**

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an 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. The fair value measurements and disclosure topic specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to these valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. U.S. GAAP requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

***Fair Value Hierarchy***

U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the valuation inputs into *three* broad levels. Based on the underlying inputs, each fair value measurement in its entirety is reported in *one* of the *three* levels. These levels are:

Level *1* - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level *1* assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level *2* - Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level *1* that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation *may* be based on 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 for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level *3* - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or *no* market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level *3* assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

An asset or liability's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

**Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis** 

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:

***Securities Available for Sale & Equity Securities***

Debt securities available for sale and equity securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level *1*). If quoted market prices are *not* available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data (Level *2*). If the inputs used to provide the evaluation for certain securities are unobservable and/or there is little, if any, market activity then the security would fall to the lowest level of the hierarchy (Level *3*).

The Company's investment portfolio is valued using fair value measurements that are considered to be Level *1* or Level *2.* The Bank has contracted with a securities portfolio accounting service provider for valuation of its securities portfolio. Most security types are priced using the vendor's internally developed pricing software, however, subscription pricing services *may* be used to supplement the internal pricing system. The software uses the discounted cash flow analysis based on the net present value of a security's projected cash flow to arrive at fair market value. Generally, the methodology involves market quotes, current yields, proprietary models, as well as extensive quality control programs. Valuations for direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, exchange listed stock and preferred stock are obtained from on-line real-time databases.

The vendor utilizes proprietary valuation matrices for valuing all municipal securities. The initial curves for determining the price, movement, and yield relationships within the municipal matrices are derived from industry benchmark curves or sourced from a municipal trading desk. The securities are further broken down according to issuer, credit support, state of issuance and rating to incorporate additional spreads to the industry benchmark curves.

**Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis** 

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

**Loans Held for Sale**

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost of fair value. These loans currently consist of *one*-to-*four* family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market. Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is *not* materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level *2*). As such, the Company records any fair value adjustments on a recurring basis. *No* nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale at *June 30, 2025* or *December 31, 2024*.

**Collateral Dependent Loans with an ACL**

In accordance with ASC *326,* we *may* determine that an individual loan exhibits unique risk characteristics which differentiate it from other loans within our loan pools. In such cases, the loans are evaluated for expected credit losses on an individual basis and excluded from the collective evaluation. Specific allocations of the ACL are determined by analyzing the borrower's ability to repay amounts owed, collateral deficiencies, the relative risk grade of the loan and economic conditions affecting the borrower's industry, among other things. A loan is considered to be collateral dependent when, based upon management's assessment, the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. In such cases, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date, adjusted for estimated selling costs if satisfaction of the loan depends on the sale of the collateral. We reevaluate the fair value of collateral supporting collateral dependent loans on a quarterly basis. The fair value of real estate collateral supporting collateral dependent loans is evaluated by appraisal services using a methodology that is consistent with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. The bank held no collateral dependent loans with an allowance at *June 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*.

**Other Real Estate Owned** 

Other real estate owned (OREO) is measured at fair value less costs to sell. Valuation of OREO is determined using current appraisals from independent parties, a Level *2* input. If current appraisals cannot be obtained, or if declines in value are identified after a recent appraisal is received, appraisal values *may* be discounted, resulting in a Level *3* estimate. If the Company markets the property with a realtor, estimated selling costs reduce the fair value, resulting in a valuation based on Level *3* inputs. Fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and expensed against current earnings. The Bank held *one* OREO property at *June 30, 2025* totaling $78,000. The Bank held no OREO at *December 31, 2024*.

The following table presents the Company's assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of *June 30, 2025* (dollars in thousands).

The Company had no financial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of *June 30, 2025* or *December 31, 2024*.

The following information should *not* be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since the fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company's assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company's disclosures and those of other companies *may not* be meaningful.

The estimated fair values (in thousands) of the Company's financial instruments were as follows at *June 30, 2025* and *December 31, 2024*.

**Item 2. MANAGEMENT**'**S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF STEELE BANCORP, INC.**

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A, represents an overview of the financial condition and results of operations of Steele Bancorp, Inc. ("Steele"). Please refer to the financial statements and other information in this report as well as the Company's Form SP 15D2 for an understanding of the following discussion and analysis.

Subsequent events have been considered through the date of this filing on Form 10-Q.

Steele is a financial holding company that, through its sole subsidiary Central Penn Bank & Trust "CPBT", provides full-service banking to individual, municipality and corporate customers. CPBT operates thirteen offices spanning the counties of Union, Snyder, Northumberland and Centre in Northcentral Pennsylvania. Gathering deposits and making loans are the major lines of business. The deposits are mainly deposits of individuals and small businesses and include various types of checking accounts, statement savings, money market accounts, interest checking accounts, individual retirement accounts, and certificates of deposit. Milestone Insurance Services, LLC (Milestone) was formed in 2003 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the CPBT. Milestone is licensed to sell title insurance. Steele is supervised by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System while CPBT is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities.

Steele's core strategy is to further its mission of being an independent bank which strives to be the community bank you keep for life by providing quality financial services to its customers, a rewarding work environment for its employees, exceptional long-term value for its shareholders and an unwavering commitment to community reinvestment.

Steele's revenues consist primarily of interest income it earns on loans and investments. Interest income is partially offset by interest expense incurred on deposits, borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by the balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and their relative interest rates. Net interest income is typically further reduced by Steele's provision for credit losses.

Non-interest income also contributes to Steele's operating results, consisting of service charges and fees, interchange fees, brokerage, and gains and losses on the sales of securities and loans. Non-interest expenses, which include salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, data processing, professional services, advertising and other general and administrative expenses, are Steele's primary expenditures incurred as a result of Steele's operations.

Financial institutions like Steele are significantly affected by economic conditions, competition, and the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing and commercial real estate, competition among lenders, interest rate conditions, and funds availability. Steele's operations and lending are concentrated in Northcentral Pennsylvania in Union, Snyder, Northumberland, and Centre Counties, and Steele's operations are influenced by local economic conditions. Deposit balances and cost of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates on competing investments, customer preferences, and levels of personal income and savings in Steele's primary market area. Operations are also significantly impacted by government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable law, regulations or government policies may materially impact Steele.

To operate successfully, Steele must manage various types of risk, including but not limited to: interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, operational and information technology risk, reputation risk, and compliance risk.

**Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements**

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward -looking statements are not statements of current or historical fact and involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "plans," "projects," "may," "will," "should" and other similar expressions can be used to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results. Among the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those described in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to the following: costs or difficulties associated with newly developed or acquired operations; risks related to the merger with Northumberland Bancorp; changes in consumer demand for financial services; our ability to control costs and expenses; adverse developments in borrower industries and, in particular, declines in real estate values; changes in and compliance with federal and state laws that regulate our business and capital levels; our ability to raise capital as needed; and the other factors discussed in other reports Steele may file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") . We do not undertake and specifically disclaim any obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements, expect as required by law. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

**Market Conditions**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to measure Steele's financial position and operating results primarily in terms of historic dollars. Changes in the relative value of money due to inflation or recession are generally not considered. The primary effect of inflation on Steele's operations is related to increases in operating expenses. Management considers changes in interest rates to impact our financial condition and results of operations to a far greater degree than changes in prices due to inflation. Although interest rates are influenced by changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same rate or in the same magnitude as the inflation rate. Steele manages interest rate risk in several ways. There can be no assurance that Steele will not be materially adversely affected by future changes in interest rates, as interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond its control. Additionally, inflation may adversely impact the financial condition of Steele's borrowers and could impact their ability to repay their loans, which could negatively affect Steele's asset quality through higher delinquency rates and increased charge-offs. Management carefully considers the impact of inflation and rising interest rates on Steele borrowers in managing credit risk related to the loan portfolio.

**Critical Accounting Policies**

Critical accounting policies are most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition or results of operations and require management's most difficult, subjective, and complex judgements about matters that are inherently uncertain. If conditions occur that differ from our assumptions, depending upon the severity of such differences, the Company's financial condition or results of operations may be materially impacted. The Company has designated the governing of the allowance for credit losses on loans as the critical accounting policy. The Company evaluates its critical accounting estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and updates them as needed. Please refer to the Company's Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for information on these and other accounting policies.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

This report refers to certain financial measures that are computed under a basis other than GAAP ("non-GAAP). The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including tax-equivalent net interest income and efficiency ratio, to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's operational performance and to enhance investors' overall understanding of such financial performance. The methodology for determining these non-GAAP measures may differ among companies. Non-GAAP measures are supplemental and not a substitute for, or more important than, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies.

**Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024**

Total assets at June 30, 2025, were $629.2 million, an increase of $32.5 million, or 5.5 percent from $596.7 million at December 31, 2024. The increase in total assets was primarily due to the net increase in gross loans receivable of $31.3 million and an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $11.8 million, offset by a decrease of $8.9 million in securities available-for-sale, and a decrease of $1.7 million in interest-bearing time deposits.

Total average assets increased 5.8 percent from $573.4 million at December 31, 2024 to $606.6 million at June 30, 2025. Average earning assets were $550.5 million at December 31, 2024 and $583.8 million at June 30, 2025. Average interest-bearing liabilities were $429.2 million at December 31, 2024 and $459.1 million at June 30, 2025.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $11.8 million or 129.0 percent from $9.2 million at December 31, 2024 to $21.0 million at June 30, 2025. The increase is primarily due to securities available-for-sale decreasing $8.9 million, federal funds sold increasing $7.7 million, deposits increasing $25.1 million, offset by loans increasing $31.3 million.

Loans increased 7.2 percent to $467.6 million at June 30, 2025 from $436.3 million at December 31, 2024.

Interest bearing deposits increased 3.1 percent to $432.9 million at June 30, 2025 from $419.8 million at December 31, 2024. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased 17.2 percent from $69.7 million at December 31, 2024 to $81.7 million at June 30, 2025.

Total stockholder's equity increased by $3.1 million, or 5.6 percent, from $55.9 million at December 31, 2024, to $59.1 million at June 30, 2025. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in retained earnings of $2.3 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to increased fair values in the available for sale investment securities. Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased from $4.4 million as of December 31, 2024 to $3.5 million as of June 30, 2025.

The loan-to-deposit ratio is a key measurement of liquidity. Our loan-to-deposit ratio was 90.9% percent as of June 30, 2025 compared to 89.1% percent at December 31, 2024.

It is our opinion that the asset/liability mix and the interest rate risk associated with the balance sheet are within manageable parameters. Constant monitoring using asset/liability reports and interest rate risk scenarios are in place along with quarterly asset/liability management meetings on the committee level by the Bank's Board of Directors.

**Investment Securities**

*Debt Securities* – *Available for Sale*

Debt securities available-for-sale decreased by $8.9 million or 7.7 percent to $107.1 million at June 30, 2025 from $116.1 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease was the result of management's decision to reallocate liquidity to loan growth. Within the portfolio U.S. government agencies decreased $4.7 million, U.S. government sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities decreased $2.3 million, tax exempt state and municipal bonds decreased $1.1 million, and a $962 thousand decrease in corporate securities. Gross unrealized losses decreased from $5.7 million as of December 31, 2024 to $4.6 million as of June 30, 2025. The fair value of these securities was influenced by market interest rates, prepayment speeds on mortgage securities, bid to offer spreads in the market place and credit premiums for the various types of agency debt. Steele did not consider the debt securities to be impaired since it had both the intent and ability to hold the securities until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity.

The following tables summarize the maturity distribution and yields of available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

**Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans ("ACLL")**

The allowance for credit losses was $4.6 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 2024. This allowance equaled 0.99 percent and 1.00 percent of total loans, net of unearned income, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The credit loss reserve is analyzed quarterly and reviewed by the CPBT's Board of Directors. No concentration or apparent deterioration in classes of loans or pledged collateral was evident. Regular loan meetings with the CPBT's Board of Directors are held to review new loans. Delinquent loans, loan exceptions and certain large loans are addressed by the full Board no less than monthly to determine compliance with policies. Allowance for credit losses was considered adequate based on delinquency trends and actual loans written as it relates to the loan portfolio.

*Individually Evaluated Loans*

Individually evaluated loans were $569,047 as of June 30, 2025, a decrease from $2,105,346 as of December 31, 2024. The decrease was due to five commercial loan totaling $964,160, one commercial real estate loan totaling $289,561 and four residential mortgage loans totaling $622,092 being moved from individually evaluated to collectively evaluated in 2025 due to the loan payment status being current. One residential mortgage loan totaling $78,000 was moved into OREO during the six months ended June 30, 2025. One commercial real estate loan totaling $237,851 and one residential mortgage loan totaling $183,103 were moved from collectively evaluated to individually evaluated due to the loan payment status being past due. As of June 30, 2025, three individually evaluated loans were collateral dependent but were adequately collateralized and did not result in an individual allocation. Please see Note 4 within Steele's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding Steele's loan portfolio as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

*Collectively Evaluated Loans*

Collectively evaluated loans totaled $467,940,000, with an ACL of $4,636,000 as of June 30, 2025 and $435,053,000 with an ACL of $4,359,000 as of December 31, 2024.

Collectively evaluated loans are divided into pools based upon risk characteristics, management has elected to use the FDIC call report loan codes to group loans. Utilizing a discounted cash flow (DCF) model, the Company calculates the sum of expected losses via a gross loss rate and recovery rate assumption based on call report loan codes to determine its allowance for credit losses. Management has elected to perform cash flow modeling without the present value component due to lack of loan loss history and simplification of the model. Call report loan codes are allocated additional loss estimates based upon Management's analysis of qualitative factors including changes in lending policies, procedures, and strategies, economic conditions, changes in nature and volume of portfolio, credit and lending staff, changes in delinquencies, changes in quality of the loan review system, trends in underlying collateral, concentration risk, and external factors.

The allowance for collectively evaluated loans increased $277,000 when compared to December 31, 2024 due to a $259,000 increase in the loss rate reserve and a $18,000 increase in the qualitative factor reserve.

The increase in the loss rate reserve for June 30, 2025 when compared to December 31, 2024 is due to loan growth in certain call report loan codes that have a higher historical loss rate factor applied. Specific call report loan codes that increased in the six months ended June 30, 2025 were loans secured by farmland, revolving, open-ended loans secured by 1-4 family residential, loans secured by owner occupied nonfarm residential properties, and loans secured by other nonfarm non-residential properties due to a migration of balances based on an internal analysis of call report codes completed in the second quarter of 2025.

*Q factors*

CPBT adjusts historical loss information to reflect the extent to which management expects reasonable and supportable forecasts to differ from the conditions that existed for the period over which historical information was evaluated. The increase in qualitative factor reserve for June 30, 2025 when compared to December 31, 2024 is due to the following factors. 

*Changes in Nature and Volume* 

Year-to-date loan growth as of June 30, 2025 was 7.2%. Management has elected to monitor year-to-date loan growth on a call report line-item basis and assign a risk factor for each line item. In the first quarter of 2024 there were four loan pools that had significant growth, resulting in a risk factor being assigned. In the fourth quarter of 2024 there were six loan pools that had significant growth, resulting in a risk factor being assigned. When compared to December 31, 2024 the loan growth percentage of other construction loans and commercial and industrial loans decreased to a level where no risk factor was assigned. The loan growth percentage of loans secured by multifamily residential properties decreased to a level where the risk factor assigned was less than the risk factor assigned at December 31, 2024. Partially offsetting this decrease was during the six months ended June 30, 2025 loans secured by owner occupied non-farm residential properties had a growth percentage that resulted in a risk factor being assigned, compared to December 31, 2024 when there was not a risk factor assigned for that loan call report code line item.

*Concentrations*

Management elected as of June 30, 2024 to complete a quarterly internal loan concentration review by calculating the percentage of each call report loan code balance by Tier 1 capital to better reflect loan concentration at the call report loan code level instead of the loan portfolio as a whole. With this change, as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025 five call report loan codes were assigned a risk factor based on their concentration level.

*Conclusion*

Based upon the calculation, management's current judgements about the credit quality of the loan portfolio, and after considering all known relevant internal and external factors that affect loan collectability, management believes the level of ACLL is reasonable for the credit risk in the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

**Stockholders**' **Equity and Capital Adequacy**

Details concerning capital ratios at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are presented in Note 7, "Regulatory Matters," to the consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024 included elsewhere in this document. Steele meets the conditions of the Federal Reserve's small bank holding company policy statement and is therefore excluded from consolidated capital requirements. CPBT is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on Steele's financial statements. Management believes, as of June 30, 2025, that CPBT met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.

Future dividend payments and repurchases of common stock will depend upon maintenance of a strong financial condition, future earnings and capital and regulatory requirements. In addition, CPBT is subject to restrictions on the amount of dividends that may be paid without approval of banking regulatory authorities. Further, although Steele is not subject to the specific consolidated capital requirements, its ability to pay dividends, repurchase stock or engage in other activities may be limited by the Federal Reserve if it fails to hold sufficient capital consistent with its overall risk profile.

CPBT's total Tier 1 Capital increased $2.3 million to $59.8 million at June 30, 2025 from $57.5 million at December 31, 2024. The Bank's resulting Tier 1 Leverage Ratio increased to 9.79% at June 30, 2025 from 9.67% at December 31, 2024.

**Three Months Ended June 30, General:** Net income was $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, or $0.98 per share, an increase of $497 thousand, or 37.6 percent, compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.71 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2025, reflected an increase in net interest income after provision for credit losses of $841 thousand, an increase in non-interest income of $112 thousand and an increase in non-interest expenses of $287 thousand.

**Net Interest Income:** Net interest income before provision for (recovery of) credit losses increased by $967 thousand, or 24.0 percent, to $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Interest income and interest expense both increased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, due to increased average balances in loans and higher rates on loans and investment securities, offset by the increased deposit and other borrowing expense due to an increase in balances and rates. Yield on earning assets increased quicker than the cost of funds, resulting in an increase in net interest income. Net interest margin (tax equivalent) increased from 2.96% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.41% for the same period in 2025.

**Interest Income:** Interest income increased $1.3 million, or 20.4 percent, to $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The average yield on the earning assets increased 55 basis points from 4.79 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 5.34 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase in rates was in addition to the growth in average balance of earning assets which increased $39.6 million to $586.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $546.5 million for 2024.

**Interest Expense:** Interest expense increased by $337 thousand or 14.1 percent to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was the result of an increase in rates paid on interest bearing deposits of 11 basis points from 2.09 percent for 2024 to 2.20 percent in 2025. The increase is also the result of an increase in average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $27.7 million to $424.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $396.8 million for 2024. The increase in expense is also attributed to an increase in average balance of borrowings of $6.8 million to $34.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $27.8 million for 2024. Rates paid on borrowings decreased 8 basis points from 4.67 percent for 2024 to 4.59 percent in 2025.

**Six Months Ended June 30, General:** Net income was $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, or $1.95 per share, an increase of $947 thousand, or 35.3 percent, compared to net income of $2.7 million, or $1.44 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Interest income and interest expense both increased for the six months ended June 30, 2025 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to increased average balances in loans and higher rates on loans and investment securities, offset by the increased deposit and other borrowing expense due to an increase in balances and rates. Yield on earning assets increased quicker than the cost of funds, resulting in an increase in net interest income. Net interest margin (tax equivalent) increased from 2.93% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 3.36% for the same period in 2025.

**Interest Income:** Interest income increased by $2.6 million, or 20.4 percent, to $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The average yield on the earning assets increased 53 basis points from 4.76 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 5.29 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase in rates was in addition to the growth in average balance of earning assets which increased $44.4 million to $583.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $539.4 million for 2024.

**Interest Expense:** Interest expense increased by $681 thousand or 14.5 percent to $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was the result of an increase in rates paid on interest bearing deposits of 8 basis points from 2.09 percent for 2024 to 2.17 percent in 2025. The increase is also the result of an increase in average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $29.3 million to $420.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $391.6 million for 2024. The increase in expense is also attributed to an increase in average balance of borrowings of $8.4 million to $38.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $29.8 million for 2024. The increase is also due to an increase in rates paid on borrowings of 25 basis points from 4.28 percent for 2024 to 4.53 percent in 2025.

**Analysis of Net Interest Income**

Net interest income represents the difference between the interest Steele earns on its interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and the expense Steele pays on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Net interest income depends on both the volume of Steele's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates Steele earns or pays on them.

**Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields:** The following table sets forth certain information relating to Steele's average balance sheets and reflects the average yield on interest-earning assets and average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, interest earned and interest paid for the years indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expenses by the average balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the years presented. Average balances are derived from daily balances over the years indicated. The loan yields include net amortization of certain deferred fees and costs that are considered adjustments to yields.

**Provision for (Recovery of) Credit Losses:** During the second quarter of 2025, Steele recorded a $156 thousand provision to the allowance for credit losses. The provision included a $192 thousand provision for credit losses on loans, offset by a $36 thousand recovery of credit losses on unfunded commitments. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, Steele recorded a $162 thousand provision to the allowance for credit losses. The provision included a $262 thousand provision for credit losses on loans, offset by a $100 thousand recovery of credit losses on unfunded commitments. The provisions for credit losses on loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are due to a combination of loan growth, higher historical loss rates and change in weight of qualitative factors. The recoveries of credit losses on unfunded commitments are due to a decrease of $5.6 million and $12.9 million in unfunded commitment loan balances as of the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. As of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 Steele recorded a $30 thousand provision to the allowance for credit losses.

Steele completes a comprehensive quarterly evaluation to determine its provision for (recovery of) credit losses on loans. The evaluation reflected analyses of individual borrowers and historical loss experiences, and changes in net loan balances, supplemented as necessary by credit judgment that considers observable trends, conditions, and other relevant environmental and economic factors.

See Note 4 within Steele's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding Steele's provision for (recovery of) credit losses as of June 30, 2025.

**Provision for Income Taxes:** Steele recorded income tax expense of $407 thousand in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $169 thousand, or 71.0%, compared to $238 thousand in the first quarter of 2024. Steele recorded income tax expense of $827 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $358 thousand, or 76.3 percent, compared to $469 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in income tax expense was due to higher taxable income in 2025 as compared to 2024. Steele's effective tax rate increased to 18.6% at June 30, 2025, compared to 14.9% at June 30, 2024, which resulted primarily from nondeductible merger expenses and tax-exempt income being a smaller percentage of the taxable income in 2025 as compared to 2024.

Management evaluates the carrying amount of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis, or more frequently, as necessary, in accordance with guidance set forth in ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes," and applies the criteria in the guidance to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized within its life cycle, based on the weight of available evidence. If management determines based on available evidence, both positive and negative, that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized in future periods, a valuation allowance is calculated and recorded. These determinations are inherently subjective and depend upon management's estimates and judgments used in their evaluation of both positive and negative evidence.

The Company's liquidity, represented by cash and due from banks, is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company's primary source of funds are deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, principal repayments of securities and outstanding loans, funds provided from operations, federal fund borrowings from Atlantic Community Bankers Bank and short and long term Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances. In addition, the Company invests excess funds in short-term interest earning assets such as overnight deposits or U.S. agency securities, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, general interest rates, economic conditions and competition greatly influence deposit flows and repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities.

The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund operations, loan demand and to satisfy fluctuations in deposit levels. The Company is required to have enough investments to qualify as liquid assets in order to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure safe and sound banking operations. Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to the return on loans. The Company attempts to maintain adequate but not excessive liquidity, and liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of its business management. The Company manages its liquidity in accordance with a board of directors-approved asset liability policy, which is administered by its asset-liability committee ("ALCO"). ALCO reports interest rate sensitivity, liquidity, capital and investment-related matters on a quarterly basis to the Company's board of directors.

The Company reviews cash flow projections regularly and updates them in order to maintain liquid assets at levels believed to meet the requirements of normal operations, including loan commitments and potential deposit outflows from maturing certificates of deposit and saving withdrawals. While deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are its primary source of funds, when needed it is also able to generate cash through borrowings from the FHLB. At June 30, 2025, the Bank had remaining available capacity with FHLB, subject to certain collateral restrictions, of $155.3 million.

Liquidity management is required to ensure that adequate funds will be available to meet anticipated and unanticipated deposit withdrawals, debt service payments, investment commitments, commercial and consumer loan demand, and ongoing operating expenses. Funding sources include principal repayments on loans, sale of assets, growth in time and core deposits, short and long-term borrowings, investment securities coming due, loan prepayments and repurchase agreements. Regular loan payments are a dependable source of funds, while the sale of investment securities, deposit growth and loan prepayments are significantly influenced by general economic conditions and the level of interest rates.

The Company manages liquidity on a daily basis. Management believes that the liquidity is sufficient to meet present and future financial obligations and commitments on a timely basis.

**Interest Rate Risk Management**

Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from movements in market interest rates. When interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reprice at different times or in different degrees or when call options are exercised, in response to change in market interest rates, future net interest income is impacted. When interest-earning assets mature or re-price more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, the balance sheet is considered "asset sensitive". An asset sensitive position will produce relatively more net interest income when interest rates rise and less net interest income when rates decline. Conversely, when interest-bearing liabilities mature or re-price more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, the balance sheet is considered "liability sensitive". A liability sensitive position will produce relatively more net interest income when interest rates fall and less net interest income when rates increase. The Company considers interest rate risk to be a significant risk and manages its exposure through policies approved by its Asset Liability Committee ("ALCO") and Board of Directors. ALCO reviews periodic reports of the Company's interest rate risk position, including results of simulation analysis. Simulation analysis applies interest rate shocks, hypothetical immediate shifts in interest rates, to the Company's financial instruments and determines the impact to projected one-year net interest income and other key measures. The following table shows the results of rate shocks on net interest income projected for one year from the reporting date. For purposes of this analysis, noninterest income and expenses are assumed to be flat.

| (-)100 | 2.31% | 3.43% |
| (-)200 | 0.94% | 3.26% |
| (-)300 | -3.19% | 0.47% |
| (-)400 | -4.19% | 0.10% |

---

Results of the net interest income simulation indicate that the Company is liability sensitive as of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. The simulation process requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, asset growth, the mix of assets and liabilities, the interest rate environment and local and national economic conditions. Asset growth and the mix of assets can, to a degree, be influenced by management. Other areas, such as the interest rate environment and economic factors, cannot be controlled. In addition, competitive pressures can make it difficult to price deposits and loans in a manner that optimally minimizes interest rate risk. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes; changes in market conditions and customer behavior; and changes in management strategies.

While the asset/liability management program is designed to protect the Company over the long term, it does not provide near-term protection from interest rate shocks, as interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities do not by their nature move up or down in tandem in response to changes in the overall rate environment. The Company's profitability in the near-term may be temporarily negatively affected in a period of rapidly rising or rapidly falling rates, because it takes some time for the Company's portfolio to reflect changes to offering rates in response to a new interest rate environment.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

Our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report, were effective as of such date at the reasonable assurance level as discussed below to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. In addition, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls.

The CEO and CFO have evaluated the changes to our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, as required by paragraph (d) Rules 13a–15 and 15d–15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and have concluded that there were no changes that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

**Part II - Other Information**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings**

At June 30, 2025, the Company was not involved in any legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, which involve amounts which, in the aggregate, are believed by management to be immaterial to the financial condition of the Company. In addition, no material proceedings are pending or are known to be threatened or contemplated against the Company by government authorities.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds**

None.

**Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities**

None.

**Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures**
