**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(unaudited)**

**NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp") and Gouverneur Savings and Loan Association (the "Bank"), the wholly owned and only direct subsidiary of Bancorp, and GS&L Municipal Bank, the wholly owned and only subsidiary of the Bank, (collectively referred to as the "Company") as of June 30, 2025 (unaudited) and September 30, 2024 and for the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (unaudited). These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc. is a Maryland corporation that was incorporated in June 2023 to be the successor to Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc., a federally chartered corporation (the "Mid-Tier Holding Company"), upon completion of the second-step conversion of the Bank from the two-tier mutual holding company structure to the stock holding company structure. Cambray Mutual Holding Company ("Cambray") was the former mutual holding company for the Mid-Tier Holding Company prior to the completion of the second-step conversion. In conjunction with the second-step conversion, each of Cambray Mutual Holding Company and the Mid-Tier Holding Company merged out of existence and now cease to exist. The second-step conversion was completed on October 31, 2023, at which time the Company sold, for gross proceeds of $7.2 million, a total of 723,068 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share, including 57,845 shares sold to the Bank's employee stock ownership plan. As part of the second-step conversion, each of the existing outstanding shares of Mid-Tier Holding Company common stock owned by persons other than Cambray Mutual Holding Company was converted into 0.5334 shares of Bancorp common stock.

On September 16, 2022, the Bank completed its acquisition of Citizens Bank of Cape Vincent ("CBCV"), a commercial bank headquartered in Cape Vincent, New York. In conjunction with the acquisition of CBCV in September 2022, the Bank formed the limited purpose GS&L Municipal Bank in order to continue to hold CBCV's municipal deposits and continue to compete for such deposits in the future. GS&L Municipal Bank is a limited purpose commercial bank that is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank and operates under the same regulatory and operating framework as the Bank. GS&L Municipal Bank is a New York chartered limited purpose commercial bank organized to solicit municipal deposits from local government entities such as towns, cities, school districts, fire districts and other municipalities. The Bank views GS&L Municipal Bank as a source of low cost and stable source of funds that will further the Bank's commitment to the communities in which the Bank operates.

All adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments or accruals, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been made at and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for an entire fiscal year or any other period.

The data in the consolidated statements of financial condition for September 30, 2024 was derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2024. That data, along with the interim financial information presented in the consolidated statements of financial condition, earnings, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders' equity and cash flows should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2024, including the notes thereto. Certain amounts for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2024 were reclassified to conform to the presentation for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2025.

**NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

**Principles of Consolidation**

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, GS&L Municipal Bank.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

At June 30, 2025, GS&L Municipal Bank held $22.3 million of the Bank's $41.7 million investment securities portfolio and $22.9 million of the Bank's deposits.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

**Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements**

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses. In connection with the determination of the estimated allowance for credit losses, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties that act as collateral for portfolio loans.

The Company's loans are generally secured by specific items of collateral including real property, consumer assets, and business assets. Although the Company has a diversified portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is dependent on local economic conditions. While management uses available information to recognize credit losses on loans and foreclosed assets, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans and foreclosed assets may be necessary, based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the estimated losses on loans and foreclosed assets. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additional losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the estimated credit losses on loans and foreclosed assets may change materially in the near term. However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

The Company's significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 2 of the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended September 30, 2024 and are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant accounting policies since September 30, 2024.

**Allowance for Credit Losses – Available for Sale Securities**

For available for sale securities, management evaluates all investments in an unrealized loss position on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. If the Company has the intent to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security, the security is written down to fair value and the entire loss is recorded in earnings.

If either of the above criteria is not met, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value is the result of credit losses or other factors. In making the assessment, the Company may consider various factors including the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, performance on any underlying collateral, downgrades in the ratings of the security by a rating agency, the failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments and adverse conditions specifically related to the security. If the assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security and any excess is recorded as an allowance for credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less that the amortized cost basis. Any amount of unrealized loss that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Changes in the allowance for credit loss are recorded as provision for (benefit from) credit loss expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings. Losses are charged against the allowance for credit loss when

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

management believes an available for sale security is confirmed to be uncollectible or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, there was no allowance for credit loss related to the available for sale securities portfolio.

Accrued interest receivable on available for sale debt securities totaled $191,000 and $246,000 at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

**Loans**

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts and deferred fees and costs. Accrued interest receivable related to loans totaled $403,000 and $356,000 at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, and is included as a component of accrued interest receivable and other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using methods that approximate a level yield without anticipating prepayments.

The accrual of interest is generally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due and is not well collateralized and in the process of collection, or when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the principal or interest will not be collectible in the normal course of business. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. A loan is considered to be past due when a scheduled payment has not been received within 30 days after the contractual due date.

All accrued interest is reversed against interest income when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Interest received on such loans is accounted for using the cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the past due loan balance is reduced to zero. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, there is a sustained period of repayment performance, and future payments are reasonably assured.

**Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans**

The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance for credit losses when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.

The allowance for credit losses on loans represents management's estimate of lifetime credit losses inherent in loans as of the balance sheet date. The allowance for credit losses on loans is estimated by management using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The Company measures expected credit losses for loans on a pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments and calculates the allowance for credit losses for each using a discounted cash flow and remaining life methodology. The segments using a discounted cash flow methodology are as follows:

Real Estate Residential

- 1-4 family residential construction loans

- Other construction loans and all land development and other land loans

- Revolving, open-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties and extended under lines of credit

- Secured by first liens

- Secured by junior liens

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Real Estate Commercial

- Commercial and industrial loans – commercial mortgage

- Loans secured by owner-occupied, nonfarm nonresidential properties

- Loans secured by other nonfarm nonresidential properties

- Loans secured by multifamily (5 or more) properties

Commercial Secured

- Loans to finance agricultural production and other loans to farmers

- Commercial and industrial loans

- Obligations (other than securities and leases) of states and political subdivisions in the US

Commercial Unsecured

- Commercial and industrial loans – unsecured

- Unsecured other loans

Consumer

- Other revolving credit plans

- Automobile loans

- Other consumer loans

The discounted cash flow method calculates the expected cash flows to be received over the life of each individual loan in a pool.

The segments using a remaining life methodology are as follows:

Commercial Unsecured

- Other loans (commercial overdraft loans)

Consumer

- Other loans (consumer overdraft loans)

The remaining life methodology uses average annual charge-off rates and the remaining life of the loan to estimate the allowance for credit losses. The average annual charge-off rate is applied to the amortization adjusted remaining life of the loan to determine the unadjusted lifetime historical charge-off rate.

Additionally, the allowance for credit losses calculation includes subjective adjustments for qualitative risk factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical experience. These qualitative adjustments may increase or reduce reserve levels and include adjustments for lending management experience and risk tolerance, asset quality and portfolio trends, loan review and audit results, loan portfolio growth, industry concentrations, trends in underlying collateral, external factors and economic conditions not already captured.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. When management determines that foreclosure is probable and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, the expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the related collateral at the reporting dated unadjusted for selling costs as appropriate.

**Allowance for Credit Losses – Unfunded Commitments**

Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off—balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

The Company records an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable, through a charge to provision for credit loss on unfunded commitments in the Company's statements of earnings. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date in accordance with ASC 326, *Financial Instruments – Credit Losses*, using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur as well as any third-party guarantees. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments is included as a component of accrued interest payable and other liabilities on the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition.

**Revenue Recognition** 

The majority of the Company's revenue is generated from interest income on loans which are outside the scope of ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*.

The Company's sources of income that fall within the scope of ASC 606 include service charges on deposits, interchange fees and gains and losses on sales of other real estate, all of which are presented as components of noninterest income on the accompanying statements of earnings. Below is a summary of the revenue streams that fall within the scope of ASC 606.

*Service charges on deposits, ATM, and interchange fees* – Fees from these services are either transaction-based, for which the performance obligations are satisfied when the individual transaction is processed, or set periodic service charges, for which the performance obligations are satisfied over the period the service is provided. Transaction-based fees are recognized as revenue at a point in time when the transaction is processed, and periodic service charges are recognized as revenue over a period of time equivalent to the service period and as performance obligations are met.

*Gains and losses on sales of foreclosed assets –* The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of foreclosed assets when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of the executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of foreclosed assets to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the foreclosed asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer.

**NOTE 3: EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE**

Basic earnings per common share represent income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are not included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic earnings per common share until they are committed to be released.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

In management's opinion, the unrealized losses primarily reflect changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of specific securities. The Company had 51 and 9 securities in an unrealized loss position of less than twelve months at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, and 63 and 69 securities in an unrealized loss position of 12 months or more at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company has the intent and the ability to hold such securities until maturity or market price recovery. Management believes that the unrealized losses do not represent credit impairment of the securities and therefore no allowance for credit loss has been recorded as of June 30, 2025 or September 30, 2024.

The Company had not acquired any loans with deteriorated credit quality as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024. The Company did acquire a commercial secured performing loan which has been classified as Substandard to ensure proper oversight and monitoring of the loan. The loan has performed in accordance with its modified terms for over three years. This loan was restructured in September 2023. Proceeds from the restructuring paid off current principal and interest due in the amount of $505,000. The borrower retained the same interest rate of 6.00% and received a 5-year callable note with 25-year amortization in exchange for extra real estate collateral. A $108,000 second position commercial mortgage was placed on the guarantor's primary residence behind the Bank's first position residential mortgage. The restructuring enhanced the Bank's loan-to-value position while providing the borrower with a lower payment than the original contractual terms. The capitalization of interest, interest rate below market terms, and extension of the maturity date were concessions made to the borrower in exchange for additional collateral. Interest income on a restructured loan is accrued once the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay under the restructured terms for sustained period of repayment performance, which is generally six consecutive months. The loan was removed from non-accrual status during the third

quarter of fiscal year 2024. This loan has a negative fair value adjustment as a result of purchase price accounting of $49,000 at June 30, 2025.

The Company sells first mortgage loans to third parties in the ordinary course of business, principally to the FHLB, a large purchaser of loans. These serviced loans are not included in the balances on the accompanying statements of financial condition, but the Company continues to collect the principal and interest payments for a servicing fee. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the total outstanding principal balance on serviced loans was $11.3 million and $11.8 million, respectively.

The tables below present, by portfolio segment, the changes in the allowance for credit losses and the recorded investment in loans for the three and nine-months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (unaudited), and the year ended September 30, 2024.

The following table presents performing and nonperforming real estate loans based on payment activity as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024. Real estate loans include residential and commercial mortgages, construction loans and

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

home equity loans. Payment activity is reviewed by management on a quarterly basis to determine how loans are performing. Loans are considered to be nonperforming when the number of days delinquent is greater than 89 days. The loan may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower's sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally twelve consecutive months of current payments with no past due occurrences.

Performing and nonperforming real estate loans as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 were as follows:

Credit quality indicators as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 are as follows:

Internally assigned grade as a subsection of the "Pass" (ratings 1 – 4) credit risk profile:

**1 — Good**

Loans in this category are to an individual or a well-established business in excellent financial condition with strong liquidity and a history of consistently high levels of earnings and cash flow and debt service capacity. Supported by high quality financial statements (including recent statements and sufficient historical fiscal statements), borrower has excellent repayment history and possesses a documented source of repayment. Industry conditions are favorable and borrower's business management is well qualified with sufficient debt. Borrower and/or key personnel exhibit unquestionable character. Good loans may be characterized by high quality liquid collateral and very strong personal guarantors.

**2 — Satisfactory**

Loans in this category are to borrowers with many of the same qualities as a good loan, however, certain characteristics are not as strong (i.e. cyclical nature of earnings, lower quality financial statements, less liquid collateral, less favorable industry trends, etc.). Borrower still has good credit, will exhibit financial strength, excellent repayment history, and good present and future earnings potential. The primary source of repayment is readily apparent with strong secondary sources of repayment available. Management is capable, with sufficient depth, and character of borrower is well established.

**3 — Acceptable**

Loans in this category are to borrowers of average strength with acceptable financial condition (businesses fall within acceptable tolerances of other similar companies represented in the RMA annual statement studies), with satisfactory record of earnings and sufficient historical and projected cash flow to service the debt. Business borrower's management is capable and reliable. Borrower has satisfactory repayment history, and primary and secondary sources of repayment can be clearly identified. Acceptable loans may exhibit some deficiency or vulnerability to changing economic or industry conditions.

**4 — Watch**

Loans in this category have a chance of resulting in a loss. Characteristics of this level of assets include, but are not limited to; the borrower has only a fair credit rating with minimal recent credit problems, cash flow is currently adequate to meet the required debt repayments, but will not be sufficient in the event of significant adverse developments, borrower has limited access to alternative sources of financing, possibly at unfavorable terms, some management weaknesses exist, collateral, generally required, is sufficient to make likely the recovery of the value of the loan in the event of default, but liquidating the collateral may be difficult or expensive. In addition, the guarantor would achieve this credit rating if it borrowed individually from the Bank.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**5 — Special Mention**

Loans in this category are usually made to well-established businesses with local operations. Special Mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the institution's credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. The Special Mention category is not to be used as a means of avoiding a clear decision to classify a loan or pass it without criticism. Neither should it include loans listed merely "for the record" when uncertainties and complexities, perhaps coupled with large size, create some reservations about the loan. If weaknesses or evidence of imprudent handling cannot be identified, inclusion of such loans in Special Mention is not justified. Special Mention loans have characteristics which corrective management action would remedy. Loans in this category should remain for a relatively short period of time.

**6 — Substandard**

Loans classified as Substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth or paying capacity of the borrower or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans in this category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment. Loans which might be included in the category have potential for problems due to weakening economic or market conditions. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Substandard loans may include loans which are likely to require liquidation of collateral to effect repayment, and other loans where the character or ability to repay has become suspect. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of the substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified as Substandard.

**7 — Doubtful**

Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses in those classified as Substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of current existing facts, conditions, and value highly questionable and improbable. Although possibility of loss is extremely high, classification of these loans as loss has been deferred to specific pending factors or events, which may strengthen the loan value (i.e., possibility of additional collateral, injection of capital, collateral liquidation, debt structure, economic recovery, etc.).

**8 — Loss**

Loans 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 it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

The information for each of the credit quality indicators is updated on a quarterly basis in conjunction with the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.

**Loan Modifications Made to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty**

The allowance for credit losses incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses and is recorded on each asset upon asset origination or acquisition. The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from loan modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company uses a probability of default/loss given default model to determine the allowance for credit losses. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification.

Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification.

There were no modified loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024.

**Collateral Dependent Loans**

Collateral dependent loans are individually evaluated loans upon which repayment is dependent on the operation or sale of the underlying collateral. For collateral dependent loans, the amortized cost of the loan is adjusted to fair value. The Company uses the fair value of underlying collateral, less the selling, administrative costs, and other expenses necessary to liquidate the collateral in order to estimate the allowance for credit losses for individually evaluated collateral dependent loans.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had one collateral dependent loan within the residential real estate loan segment with an outstanding balance of $45,000. The fair value of the collateral securing the loan is $40,000. Based on the Company's policy of adjusting the amortized cost to fair value, a specific allowance for credit losses of $11,200 was recorded as a component of individually evaluated loans.

**NOTE 8: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET CREDIT RISK**

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and to sell loans. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

A summary of financial instrument commitments at June 30, 2025 (unaudited) and September 30, 2024 is shown below.

| Commitments to Grant Loans | $6869 | $2386 |
| Unfunded Commitments Under Lines of Credit | $4399 | $4566 |

---

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

The Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer and generally consists of real estate.

**Commitments and Contingencies**

Outstanding letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance by a customer to a third party. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The Company had four standby letters of credit totaling $178,000 and $176,000 with no amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending other loan commitments. The Company requires collateral and personal guarantees supporting these letters of credit as deemed necessary. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of such collateral in the event of a default, and the enforcement of personal guarantees would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees.

**Unfunded Commitments**

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses 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 (i.e. commitment cannot be canceled at any time). The allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted through the provision for credit loss expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings. 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 credit losses on loans, and are discussed within this note. The allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments of $23,000 and $25,000 at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, is separately classified on the consolidated statements of financial condition within accrued interest payable and other liabilities.

The following table presents the balance and activity in the allowance for credit losses for unfunded loan commitments for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

**NOTE 9: REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can trigger certain mandatory — and possibly additional discretionary — actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's 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 the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**U.S. Basel III Capital Rules**

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board approved final rules (the "U.S. Basel III Capital Rules") establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations and implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's December 2010 framework for strengthening international capital standards. The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules substantially revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and depository institutions.

The minimum regulatory capital requirements established by the U.S. Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Bank on January 1, 2016 and become fully phased in on January 1, 2019. The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules require the Bank to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Meet a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio of 4.50% of risk-weighted assets and a minimum Tier 1 Capital ratio of 6.00% of risk-weighted assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Continue to require a minimum Total Capital ratio of 8.00% of risk-weighted assets and a minimum Tier 1 Leverage Capital ratio of 4.00% of average assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Maintain a "capital conservation buffer" of 2.50% above the minimum risk-based capital requirements, which must be maintained to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Comply with a revised definition of capital to improve the ability of regulatory capital instruments to absorb losses. Certain non-qualifying capital instruments, including cumulative preferred stock and TruPS, will be excluded as a component of Tier 1 capital for institutions of the Company's size.

The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules use a standardized approach for risk weightings that expand the risk-weightings for assets and off-balance sheet exposures from the previous 0%, 20%, 50% and 100% categories to a much larger and more risk-sensitive number of categories, depending on the nature of the assets and off-balance sheet exposures, resulting in higher risk weights for a variety of asset categories.

The capital conservation buffer at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 is 2.50%. The Bank exceeded these "well-capitalized" and "capital conservation buffer" ratios for all periods presented.

As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Bank's capital levels meet the fully phased-in minimum capital requirements, including the new capital conservation buffers, as prescribed in the U.S. Basel III Capital Rules.

As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since the most recent notification that management believes have changed the Bank's prompt corrective action category.

**NOTE 10: RETAINED EARNINGS**

The Company declared and paid semi-annual cash dividends of $0.08 per share in November 2024 and May 2025, totaling $173,000 in the first nine months of fiscal year 2025. There were no dividends declared during fiscal year 2024.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

**NOTE 11: INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES**

Derivative instruments are entered into primarily as a risk management tool of the Company. The Company previously entered into several interest rate swap agreements whereby it paid a fixed rate and received a variable rate on a notional amount. The Company enters into these arrangements to hedge the cost of certain borrowings and to increase the interest rate sensitivity of certain assets. Financial derivatives are recorded at fair value as other assets or liabilities on the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as a part of a hedging relationship. For a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument and changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability are recognized in earnings. Amounts recognized in earnings as noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $0 and $(27,000), respectively. Amounts recognized in earnings as noninterest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $(9,000) and $(208,000), respectively. The gain/loss is the result of the swaps market value fluctuations with long-term bond rates and projected short-term rates. See Note 12 for further discussion on the fair value of the interest rate derivative.

On December 29, 2023, the Company unwound two off-balance sheet swaps, with $2.5 million in notional value, for a realized gain of approximately $75,000.

On November 4, 2024, the Company's last remaining off-balance sheet swap, $3.0 million in notional value, matured.

**NOTE 12: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS**

**Determination of Fair Value**

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures*, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

Recent fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value, a reasonable point within the range, is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

**Fair Value Hierarchy**

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● Level 1 — Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● 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.

The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets include most U.S. government and agency securities, liquid mortgage products, active listed equities and most money market securities. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.

The types of instruments valued based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency include most investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, less liquid mortgage products, less liquid equities, state, municipal and provincial obligations, and certain physical commodities. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

The Company utilized interest rate swap agreements based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The Company generally determined the fair value of its interest rate swap agreements using externally developed pricing models based on market observable inputs and therefore classified such valuations as Level 2.

Level 3 is for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions. Valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management's best estimate is used.

Individually evaluated loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as not having risk characteristics common with other loans within its pool ("collectively evaluated"). In these instances, credit loss is measured on a case-by-case basis. The fair value of the loan is determined using either present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, for collateral dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral less the selling, administrative costs, and other expenses necessary to liquidate the collateral. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable. Market value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans and is classified at a Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The value of business equipment, inventory and accounts receivable collateral is based on the net book value on the business' financial statements and, if necessary, discounted based on management's review and analysis. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management's historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation and/or management's expertise and knowledge of the client's business. Individually evaluated loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for credit loss and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors previously identified.

Foreclosed properties are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed properties. Subsequently, foreclosed properties are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The estimated fair value for foreclosed properties included in Level 3 is determined by independent market-based appraisals and other available market information, less costs to sell, that may be reduced further based on market expectations or an executed sales agreement. If fair value of the collateral deteriorates subsequent to initial recognition, the Company records the foreclosed properties as a nonrecurring Level 3 adjustment. Valuation techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior periods.

Certain assets and liabilities may be required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial recognition. Generally, nonrecurring valuation is the result of the application of other accounting pronouncements which require assets and liabilities to be assessed for impairment or recorded at the lower of cost or fair value.

Fair values of assets measured on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2025 (unaudited) and September 30, 2024 are shown in the following table:

The methods and assumptions that were used to estimate the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis have been previously disclosed. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below:

**Cash and due from banks —** Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount of cash and due from banks approximates fair value and is categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

**Interest bearing deposits with banks —** Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount of interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions approximates fair value and is categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

**Available for sale securities —** For those available for sale debt securities where quoted prices are unavailable, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities and, therefore, are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

**Portfolio loans —** The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and is categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Acquired loans (impaired and non-impaired) are initially recorded at their acquisition-date fair values using Level 3 inputs. Fair values are based on a discounted cash flow methodology that involves assumptions and judgments as to credit risk,

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

expected life time losses, environmental factors, collateral values, discount rates, expected payments and expected prepayments.

**Investments in restricted stock —** No secondary market exists for FHLB or Atlantic Community Bankers Bank stock. The stock is bought and sold at par and management believes the carrying amount approximates fair value and is categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

**Accrued interest receivable —** Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount approximates fair value and is categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

**Interest Rate Swap Derivative —** Fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities and, therefore, are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

**Deposits —** Fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand deposits, savings, and money market accounts, is estimated using discounted cash flows applying short-term interest rates currently offered on FHLB advances. Fair value of fixed rate time deposits is estimated using discounted cash flows applying interest rates currently offered on similar time deposits. Deposits are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

**Accrued interest payable —** Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount approximates fair value and is categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

**NOTE 13: LEASES**

A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The leases in which the Company is the lessee include real estate properties for a branch office facility and a lending office facility under noncancelable operating lease arrangements, whose current maturity dates are November 2026 and January 2027, respectively. The Company's real estate lease agreements include an option to renew at the Company's discretion which is not included in the maturity schedule below as management is not reasonably certain to exercise the renewal option. The Bank also leases a copier under the terms of an operating lease agreement which will expire in June 2026.

ASC 842 requires the Company to recognize a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and corresponding lease liability included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition.

Future maturities of operating lease liabilities with initial or remaining terms of one year or more as of June 30, 2025 are as follows for the respective future fiscal years ending September 30 (in thousands):

Operating lease expense for the branch office and lending office amounted to $7,000 and $4,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Operating lease expense for the equipment was approximately $2,000 for both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and the three months ended June 30, 2024. Operating lease expense for the branch office and lending office amounted to $17,000 and $12,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Operating lease expense for the equipment was approximately $5,000 for both the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

#### Forward-Looking Statements
Statements contained in this report that are not historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), which involve significant risks and uncertainties. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of invoking these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by the use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "plan," or similar expressions. The Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain and actual results may differ from those predicted. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements in the future.

The Company cautions readers of this report that a number of important factors could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those predicted and could affect the future prospects of the Company include, but are not limited to: (i) general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected including as a result of employment levels and labor shortages, and the effects of inflation, a potential recession or slowed economic growth caused by supply chain disruptions or otherwise; (ii) changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses; (iii) our ability to access cost-effective funding; (iv) fluctuations in real estate values and both residential and commercial real estate market conditions; (v) demand for loans and deposits in our market area; (vi) deposit outflows and our ability to successfully manage liquidity; (vii) our ability to implement and change our business strategies, including our branching strategy; (viii) competition among depository and other financial institutions; (ix) inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins and yields, the fair value of financial instruments or our level of loan originations or prepayments on loans we have made and make; (x) adverse changes in the securities or secondary mortgage markets; (xi) changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements and insurance premiums; (xii) changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios; (xiii) technological changes that may be more difficult or expensive than expected; (xiv) the inability of third-party providers to perform as expected; (xv) our ability to manage market risk, credit risk and operational risk in the current economic environment; (xvi) our ability to enter new markets successfully and to capitalize on growth opportunities; (xvii) our ability to successfully integrate into our operations any assets, liabilities, customers, systems and management personnel we may acquire, and our ability to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames and any goodwill charges related thereto; (xvii) changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; (xix) changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; (xx) our ability to attract and retain key employees; and (xxi) changes in financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own; (xxii) changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board; and (xxiii) the impacts of tariffs, sanctions and other trade policies of the United States and its global trading counterparts.

#### Critical Accounting Policies
We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. We consider these accounting policies to be our critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates under different conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying values of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

#### Allowance for Credit Losses
We consider the allowance for credit losses to be a critical accounting policy. Note 2 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 discusses significant accounting policies, including the allowance for credit losses and the adoption of ASC 326, which changes the methodology under which management calculates its reserve for loans and investment securities, now referred to as the allowance for credit losses. Please refer to Note 2 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for detail regarding the Company's adoption of ASU 206-13: *Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments* and the allowance for credit losses. Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for credit losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation.

Our financial results are affected by the changes in and the level of the allowance for credit losses. This process involves our analysis of complex internal and external variables, and it requires that we exercise judgement to estimate an appropriate allowance for credit losses. As a result of the uncertainty associated with this subjectivity, we cannot assure the precision of the amount reserved, should we experience sizeable loan losses in any particular period. For example, changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers, economic conditions, or the condition of various markets in which collateral may be sold could require us to significantly decrease or increase the level of the allowance for credit losses. Such an adjustment could materially affect net income as a result of the change in provision for credit losses. We also have approximately $0.7 million as of June 30, 2025 in non-performing assets consisting of non-performing loans. We continue to assess the collectability of these loans and update our appraisals on these loans as appropriate.

To determine the total allowance for credit losses, management estimates the reserves needed for each segment of the portfolio, including loans analyzed individually and loans analyzed on a pooled basis. The allowance for credit losses consists of amounts applicable to: (1) the commercial portfolio; (2) the real estate portfolio; and (3) the consumer portfolio.

Management monitors differences between estimated and actual credit losses. This monitoring process includes periodic assessments by senior management of loan portfolios and the models used to estimate the expected credit losses in those portfolios. Additions to the allowance for credit losses are made by changes to the provision for credit losses. Credit exposures deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for credit losses. Recoveries of previously charged off amounts are credited to the allowance for credit losses.

*Individually Evaluated Loans*

We establish a specific allowance when loans are determined to not share common risk characteristics with pooled loans. Loss is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling expenses. Factors in identifying a specific problem loan include: (1) the strength of the customer's personal or business cash flows; (2) the availability of other sources of repayment; (3) the amount due or past due; (4) the type and value of collateral; (5) the strength of our collateral position; (6) the estimated cost to sell the collateral; and (7) the borrower's effort to cure the delinquency. In addition, for loans secured by real estate, we consider the extent of any past due and unpaid property taxes applicable to the property serving as collateral on the mortgage.

*Collectively Evaluated Loans*

We establish a general allowance for loans that share common risk characteristics to recognize the expected lifetime credit losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, has not been allocated to particular problem assets. This general valuation allowance is determined by segregating the loans by loan category and using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts to estimate the expected lifetime credit losses inherent. The allowance may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management's judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. These significant factors may include changes in lending policies and procedures, changes in existing general economic and business conditions affecting our primary market area, credit quality trends, collateral value, loan volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, recent loss experience in particular

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

segments of the portfolio, duration of the current business cycle and bank regulatory examination results. The applied loss factors are re-evaluated quarterly to ensure their relevance in the current real estate environment.

Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for credit losses, future adjustments to the allowance for credit losses may be necessary and any material increase in the allowance for credit losses may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Furthermore, while we believe we have established our allowance for credit losses in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as an integral part of their examination process, regulators will periodically review our allowance for credit losses. The regulators may have judgments different than management's, and we may determine to increase our allowance as a result of these regulatory reviews.

#### Fair Value Measurements
We follow the guidance of FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This guidance permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Under this guidance, fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

#### Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess cost of the fiscal 2022 acquisition of Citizens Bank of Cape Vincent over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. When calculating goodwill in accordance with FASB ASC 805-30-55-3, we evaluate whether the fair value of equity of the acquired company is a more reliable measure than the fair value of the equity interests transferred. We consider the assumptions required to calculate the fair value of equity of an acquired company using discounted cash flow models (income approach) and/or change of control premium models (market approach) which are generally based on a higher level of market participant inputs and therefore a lower level of subjectivity when compared to the assumptions required to calculate the fair value of equity interests transferred under a fair value pricing model. As a result, we consider the calculation of the fair value of the equity of an acquired company to be more reliable than the calculation of the fair value of the equity interests transferred. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated annually for impairment.

#### Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024
Total assets decreased by $0.6 million, or 0.27%, to $196.7 million at June 30, 2025 from $197.3 million at September 30, 2024. The decrease in assets was primarily due to a decrease in securities available for sale of $3.6 million resulting from principal paydowns and maturities along with a decrease in market value from fluctuations in market rates, partially offset by an increase in loans receivable, net of $1.7 million and cash and cash equivalents of $0.8 million.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $0.8 million, or 13.11%, to $7.2 million at June 30, 2025 from $6.4 million at September 30, 2024. The increase in cash and cash equivalents can be primarily attributed to an increase in principal maturities from securities available for sale of $3.9 million and an increase in escrow deposits of $0.8 million, partially offset by an increase in loans receivable, net of $1.7 million and purchases of securities available for sale of $1.2 million.

Loans receivable, net of the allowance for credit losses, increased by $1.6 million, or 1.35%, to $125.9 million at June 30, 2025 from $124.3 million at September 30, 2024. The increase in loans receivable, net of the allowance for credit losses, was primarily due to an increase in originated loans by $3.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in total acquired loans of $1.7 million due to loan repayments.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Securities available for sale decreased by $3.6 million, or 8.05%, to $41.7 million at June 30, 2025 from $45.3 million at September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to principal paydowns and maturities along with a decrease in the market value on the portfolio, partially offset by reinvested principal proceeds. The unrealized loss on securities available for sale included in other comprehensive loss was $2.5 million at June 30, 2025, compared to $1.4 million at September 30, 2024, primarily due to fluctuations in market rates impacting the fair value of the investment portfolio.

Total deposits decreased by $0.5 million, or 0.31%, to $159.4 million at June 30, 2025 from $159.9 million at September 30, 2024. The decrease in deposits can primarily be attributed to a $2.0 million decrease in non-maturing deposits, partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in time deposits, reflecting consumer preference in the current interest rate environment. The overall decrease in deposits can be attributed to seasonal fluctuations with commercial deposits decreasing by $0.6 million during the period. Uninsured deposits, which are the portion of deposit accounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limit, currently set at $250,000 per insured account, were approximately $35.3 million at June 30, 2025 and $37.2 million at September 30, 2024. Municipal deposits held at GS&L Municipal Bank accounted for approximately $20.9 million and $19.3 million of the uninsured deposits at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. At June 30, 2025, we had $60.9 million in available liquidity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and $7.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, which was sufficient to cover 100% of our uninsured and uncollateralized deposits. Municipal deposits held by GS&L Municipal Bank are fully collateralized by available for sale government and collateralized mortgage obligation securities.

Shareholders' equity decreased by $1.4 million, or 4.18%, to $31.4 million at June 30, 2025 from $32.8 million at September 30, 2024. The decrease in shareholders' equity was primarily a result of a $1.1 million decrease to the market value adjustment on the securities portfolio included in the accumulated other comprehensive income component, and the repurchase of common stock of $0.6 million which was returned to authorized but unissued stock. The Company also declared dividends of $0.16 per share totaling $173,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2025.

#### Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

#### Financial Highlights
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $217,000, compared to $183,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was higher than the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to a $65,000 increase in total non-interest income and a $53,000 increase in net interest income. The Company also recorded a $12,000 provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to no provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $360,000 compared to $387,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a $98,000 decrease in interest expense in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, partially offset by a $39,000 increase in interest expense on deposits.

#### Net Interest Income
Net interest income totaled $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and also for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $53,000, or 3.02%, primarily due to an increase in interest income on loans of $60,000 and a decrease in borrowing interest expense of $98,000, partially offset by an increase in deposit interest expense of $39,000 and a decrease in interest income on the swap agreements hedged against borrowings of $32,000.

Interest income increased by $26,000, or 1.21%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 due to an increase in loan income from an increase in market rates resulting in higher interest rates on loan originations and loan repricing, partially offset by a decrease in interest on taxable and non-taxable securities.

Interest expense decreased by $27,000, or 6.98%, due to the decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing interest expense, partially offset by an increase in interest expense on deposits and decrease in income earned on swap agreements hedged against certain borrowings.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Net interest margin increased by 12 basis points, to 4.15% compared to 4.03% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 driven primarily by an increase in net interest income and a slight decrease in interest earning assets.

#### Provision for Credit Losses
Management recorded a $9,000 provision for credit loss on loans and a $3,000 provision for credit loss on unfunded commitments for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to no provision for credit loss recorded during the same period in the prior year. Based on a review of the loans that were in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2025, management believes that the allowance is maintained at a level that represents its best estimate of inherent credit losses in the loan portfolio that were both probable and reasonably estimable.

Non-performing loans were $545,000 and $874,000 at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, non-performing loans consisted primarily of residential mortgage loans.

#### Non-Interest Income

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total non-interest income, net | $256 | $191 | $65 |  |

---

The increase in total non-interest income was primarily due to the decrease in the unrealized loss on swap agreements resulting from fluctuations with long-term bond rates and projected short-term rates. There was no unrealized loss on swap agreements at June 30, 2025 compared to an unrealized loss of $27,000 at June 30, 2024. On November 4, 2024, the Company's last remaining off-balance sheet swap, $3.0 million in notional value, matured. Earnings on deferred fees plan increased $25,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to fluctuations with market rates.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total non-interest expense | $1786 | $1770 | $16 |  |

---

The increase in total non-interest expense included a $39,000 increase in foreclosed asset expenses primarily due to legal fees incurred on foreclosures this fiscal year, as compared to a gain on the sale of a foreclosed property during the prior period. Other non-interest expense increased $26,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to operational expenses related to the Company's operations as a public company. Total non-interest expense included a $34,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to staff retirements over the prior year.

#### Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $51,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and an income tax benefit of $5,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in income taxes resulted from an increase in pre-tax book income and a change in tax-exempt income. The Company's effective income tax rates were 19.03% and (2.81)% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily related to the increase in pre-tax book income and fluctuations in permanent tax differences.

#### Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

#### Financial Highlights
Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 was $495,000 compared to $403,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2024. Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 was higher than the nine months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to a $199,000 decrease in the unrealized loss on interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 2025. The Company also recorded a $27,000 provision for credit losses for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a $70,000 provision for credit losses for the nine months ended June 30, 2024. Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 was $1.2 million compared to $1.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a $295,000 increase in interest expense on deposits and $102,000 decrease in interest income on the swap agreements hedged against borrowings and deposits, partially offset by a $304,000 decrease in interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

#### Net Interest Income
Net interest income totaled $5.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $5.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024. Net interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $47,000, or

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

0.88%, primarily due to an increase in deposit interest expense of $295,000 and a decrease in interest income on the swap agreements hedged against borrowings and deposits of $102,000, partially offset by an increase in interest income of $56,000 and a decrease in borrowing interest expense of $304,000.

Interest income increased by $56,000, or 0.87%, for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 due to an increase in market rates resulting in higher interest rates on loan originations and loan repricing.

Interest expense increased by $103,000, or 9.83%, for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 due to the increase in interest expense on deposits and decrease in income earned on swap agreements hedged against certain borrowings offset by a decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing interest expense.

Net interest margin increased by four basis points, to 4.07% compared to 4.03% for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 driven primarily by a slight decrease in interest earning assets and an increase in interest income.

#### Provision for Credit Losses
Management recorded credit loss provisions of $27,000 and $70,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Based on a review of the loans that were in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2025, management believes that the allowance is maintained at a level that represents its best estimate of inherent credit losses in the loan portfolio that were both probable and reasonably estimable.

Non-performing loans were $545,000 and $874,000 at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, non-performing loans consisted primarily of residential mortgage loans.

---

The increase in total non-interest income was primarily due to the decrease in the unrealized loss on swap agreements resulting from fluctuations with long-term bond rates and projected short-term rates. The unrealized loss on swap agreements was $9,000 at June 30, 2025 compared to an unrealized loss of $208,000 at June 30, 2024. On December 29, 2023, the Company unwound two off-balance sheet swaps, with $2.5 million in notional value, for a realized gain of approximately $75,000. On November 4, 2024, the Company's last remaining off-balance sheet swap, $3.0 million in notional value, matured. Earnings on deferred fees plan decreased $18,000 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to fluctuations with market rates. Other non-interest income increased $73,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the recognition of additional income from a tax-related refund.

#### Non-Interest Expense
The following table sets forth an analysis of non-interest expense for the periods indicated:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Nine Months Ended June 30,**  | **Nine Months Ended June 30,**  | **Change** | **Change** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** | **Amount** | **Percent** |
|  | **(Dollars in thousands)** | **(Dollars in thousands)** | **(Dollars in thousands)** | **(Dollars in thousands)** |
| Salaries and employee benefits | $2554 | $2620 | $(66) | 2.52% |
| Other non-interest expense | 736 | 548 | 188 | 34.31% |
| Occupancy expense | 710 | 719 | (9) | 1.25% |
| Professional fees | 488 | 516 | (28) | 5.43% |

| Postage and supplies | 87 | 100 | (13) | 13.00% |
| Earnings on deferred fees plan | 30 | 48 | (18) | 37.50% |
| Foreclosed assets, net | 19 | (12) | 31 | 258.33% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total non-interest expense | $5474 | $5464 | $10 |  |

---

The increase in total non-interest expense included a $188,000 increase in other non-interest expense, primarily due to operational expenses related to the Company's operations as a public company. There was a $66,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to staff retirements over the prior year.

#### Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $34,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and income tax benefit of $40,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in income taxes resulted from an increase in pre-tax book income and a change in tax-exempt income. The Company's effective income tax rates were 6.43% and (11.02)% for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective income tax rates in both periods primarily reflect the Company's tax-exempt income, including earnings from securities and Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI), which reduce the overall tax liability.

#### Asset Quality
Non-performing loans were $545,000 and $874,000 at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, non-performing loans consisted primarily of residential mortgage loans.

From time to time, as part of our loss mitigation strategy, we may renegotiate the loan terms based on the economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties. There were no loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may be considered to be non-performing and, if so, are placed on non-accrual, except for those that have established a sufficient performance history (generally a minimum of six consecutive months of performance) under the terms of the restructured loan.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

#### Average Balances and Yields
The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made, as the effects would be immaterial. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances only. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense. Deferred loan fees totaled $456,000 and $428,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

#### Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, proceeds from the sale of loans and proceeds from sales and maturities of securities. We also rely on borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank as supplemental sources of funds. At June 30, 2025, there were no outstanding advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and we had the ability to borrow $60.9 million. Additionally, at June 30, 2025, we had a line of credit with the Federal Reserve Discount Window totaling $5.0 million and a second line of credit with Atlantic Community Bankers Bank totaling $4.0 million. At June 30, 2025, there were no outstanding balances under any of these additional credit facilities.

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale investment securities. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period.

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $0.6 million and $(3.3) million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net cash provided by investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and purchases and the purchase of securities available-for-sale, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from sales, maturities and principal payments received on securities available-for-sale, was $0.7 million and $7.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities, consisting primarily of activity in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances, was $0.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and was $8.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2025. Our current strategy is to increase core deposits and utilize FHLB advances and brokered deposits to fund loan growth. We did not have any brokered deposits as of June 30, 2025 or September 30, 2024.

Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc. is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay its operating expenses and other financial obligations and to fund repurchases of shares of common stock. Bancorp's primary source of income is dividends received from the Bank. The amount of dividends that the Bank may declare and pay to Bancorp is governed by applicable bank regulations. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, Bancorp (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $1.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements. Management is not aware of any conditions or events that would change the Bank's categorization as well-capitalized.

#### ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate risk is defined as the exposure to current and future earnings and capital that arises from adverse movements in interest rates. Depending on a bank's asset/liability structure, adverse movements in interest rates could be either rising or falling interest rates. For example, a bank with predominantly long-term fixed-rate assets and short-term liabilities could have an adverse earnings exposure to a rising rate environment. Conversely, a short-term or variable-rate asset base funded by longer-term liabilities could be negatively affected by falling rates. This is referred to as re-pricing or maturity mismatch risk.

Interest rate risk also arises from changes in the slope of the yield curve (yield curve risk), from imperfect correlations in the adjustment of rates earned and paid on different instruments with otherwise similar re-pricing characteristics (basis risk), and from interest rate related options embedded in our assets and liabilities (option risk).

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Our objective is to manage our interest rate risk by determining whether a given movement in interest rates affects our net interest income and the market value of our portfolio equity in a positive or negative way and to execute strategies to maintain interest rate risk within established limits. The results at June 30, 2025 indicate the level of risk within the parameters of our model. Our management believes that the June 30, 2025 results indicate a profile that reflects interest rate risk exposures in both rising and declining rate environments for both net interest income and economic value.

Economic value of equity, or "EVE," is an economic concept that gauges the impact of interest rate changes on fair market values of assets, liabilities, and equity. EVE captures the change in economic value of the Bank even though that change may not be reflected in our accounting books and records. EVE shows management the "capital at risk" of the Bank based on the underlying values of all components of the balance sheet. As at measure of interest rate risk, it is separate and distinct from earnings at risk. EVE is a measure of long-term interest rate risk, and earnings at risk is a measure of short-term interest rate risk.

The table below sets forth, as of June 30, 2025, the calculation of the estimated changes in our net interest income that would result from the designated immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve.

The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
