Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Nature of Operations
William Penn Bancorporation (“the Company”) is a Maryland corporation that was incorporated in July 2020 to be the successor to William Penn Bancorp, Inc. (“William Penn Bancorp”) upon completion of the second-step conversion of William Penn Bank (the “Bank”) from the two-tier mutual holding company structure to the stock holding company structure. William Penn, MHC was the former mutual holding company for William Penn Bancorp prior to completion of the second-step conversion. In conjunction with the second-step conversion, each of William Penn, MHC and William Penn Bancorp ceased to exist. The second-step conversion was completed on March 24, 2021, at which time the Company sold, for gross proceeds of $
In connection with the second-step conversion offering, the William Penn Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) trustees subscribed for, and intended to purchase, on behalf of the ESOP,

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The unaudited financial statements and other financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements, and related notes, of the Company at and for the year ended June 30, 2024.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank, as well as the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, WPSLA Investment Corporation (“WPSLA”). WPSLA is a Delaware corporation organized in April 2000 to hold certain investment securities for the Bank. At September 30, 2024, WPSLA held $
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
These consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates include the allowance for credit losses, goodwill, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that
8
may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other period. Certain reclassifications have been made in the consolidated financial statements to conform with current year classifications.
Presentation of Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and interest-bearing demand deposits.
Revenue Recognition
Management determined that the primary sources of revenue emanating from interest and dividend income on loans and investments, along with noninterest revenue resulting from investment security and loan gains (losses) and earnings on bank owned life insurances, are not within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606. The main types of noninterest income within the scope of ASC 606 include service charges on deposit accounts. The Company has contracts with its deposit customers where fees are charged if certain parameters are not met. These agreements can be cancelled at any time by either the Company or the deposit customer. Revenue from these transactions is recognized on a monthly basis as the Company has an unconditional right to the fee consideration. The Company also has transaction fees related to specific transactions or activities resulting from a customer request or activity that include overdraft fees, online banking fees, interchange fees, ATM fees and other transaction fees. These fees are attributable to specific performance obligations of the Company where the revenue is recognized at a defined point in time upon the completion of the requested service/transaction.
Segment Reporting
The Company acts as an independent community financial services provider and offers traditional banking and related financial services to individual, business, and government customers. Through its branch network, the Bank offers a full array of commercial and retail financial services, including the taking of time, savings, and demand deposits; the making of commercial and mortgage loans; and the providing of other financial services. Management does not separately allocate expenses, including the cost of funding loan demand, between the commercial and retail operations of the Bank. As such, discrete financial information is not available and segment reporting would not be meaningful.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU were issued to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in the update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. These updates are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this ASU were issued in response to the SEC’s August 2018 final rule that updated and simplified disclosure requirements that the SEC believed were “redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded.” The new guidance is intended to align U.S. GAAP requirements with those of the SEC and to facilitate the application of U.S. GAAP for all entities. Some of the amendments introduced by the ASU are technical corrections or clarifications of the FASB’s current disclosure or presentation requirements. These updates are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, March 2020, to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by what the guidance calls “reference rate reform” if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Also, entities can elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met, and can make a one-time election to sell and/or reclassify held-to-maturity debt securities that reference an interest rate affected by reference rate reform. The sunset provision included in Topic 848 was based on the expectations of when LIBOR would cease being published. In March 2021, the UK Financial Conduct Authority announced that the intended cessation date of LIBOR would be June 30, 2024, which is beyond the
9
established sunset date of Topic 848. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The amendments in this ASU provide temporary relief by deferring the sunset date provision included in Topic 848. The amendments in ASU 2023-06 defer the effective date for all entities upon issuance through December 31, 2024. These updates are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
The Company maintains its allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) at a level that management believes to be appropriate to absorb estimated credit losses as of the date of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company established its allowance in accordance with the guidance included in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC 326”). The ACL is a valuation reserve established and maintained by charges against income and is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans, or portions thereof, are charged-off against the ACL when they are deemed uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. The ACL is an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of a loan, that considers our historical loss experience, the historical loss experience of a peer group of banks identified by management, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. The determination of an appropriate ACL is inherently subjective and may have significant changes from period to period. The methodology for determining the ACL has two main components: evaluation of expected credit losses for certain groups of homogeneous loans that share similar risk characteristics and evaluation of loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans. The ACL is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar characteristics exist. The Company’s loan portfolio is segmented by loan types that have similar risk characteristics and behave similarly during economic cycles.
Historical credit loss experience is the basis for the estimate of expected credit losses. We apply our historical loss rates and the historical loss rates of a group of peer banks identified by management to pools of loans with similar risk characteristics using the Weighted-Average Remaining Maturity (“WARM”) method. The remaining contractual life of the pools of loans with similar risk characteristics is adjusted by expected scheduled payments and prepayments. After consideration of the historical loss calculation, management applies qualitative adjustments to reflect the current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts not already reflected in the historical loss information. Our reasonable and supportable forecast adjustment is based on a regional economic indicator obtained from the St. Louis Federal Reserve economic database. The Company selected eight qualitative metrics which were correlated with the Bank and its peer group’s historical loss patterns. The eight qualitative metrics include: changes in lending policies and procedures, changes in national and local economic conditions as well as business conditions, changes in the nature, complexity, and volume of the portfolio, changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lenders and lending management, changes in the volume and severity of past due and classified loans, changes in the quality of the Bank’s loan review system, changes in the value of collateral securing the loans, and changes in or the existence of credit concentrations. The adjustments are weighted for relevance before applying to each pool of loans. Each quarter, management reviews the recommended adjustment factors and applies any additional adjustments based on local and current conditions.
The Company has elected to exclude $
The ACL for individual loans begins with the use of normal credit review procedures to identify whether a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with other pooled loans and, therefore, should be individually assessed. We evaluate all commercial loans that meet the following criteria: (1) when it is determined that foreclosure is probable, (2) substandard, doubtful and nonperforming loans when repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, (3) when it is determined by management that a loan does not share similar risk characteristics with other loans. Credit loss estimates are calculated based on the following three acceptable methods for measuring the ACL: 1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate; 2) the loan’s observable market price; or 3) the fair value of the collateral when the loan is collateral dependent. Our individual loan evaluations consist primarily of the fair value of collateral method because most of our loans are collateral dependent. Collateral values are discounted to consider disposition costs when appropriate. A charge-off is recorded if the fair value of the loan is less than the loan balance.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Loan Commitments
The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Bank is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Bank. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments is included in accrued interest payable and other liabilities in the Company’s Statements of Financial Condition and
10
is adjusted through credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Held to Maturity Securities
The Company accounts for its held to maturity securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 326-20, Financial Instruments – Credit Loss – Measured at Amortized Cost, which requires that the Company measure expected credit losses on held to maturity debt securities on a collective basis by major security type. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The Company classifies its held to maturity debt securities into the following major security types: mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government agency securities and municipal bonds. Generally, the mortgage-backed securities and U.S. government agency securities are government guaranteed with a history of no credit losses and the municipal bonds are highly rated with a history of no credit losses. Credit ratings of the municipal bonds are reviewed on a quarterly basis. Based on the government guarantee, our historical experience including no credit losses, and the high credit rating of our municipal bonds, the Company determined that an allowance for credit losses on its held to maturity portfolio is not required.
Accrued interest receivable on held to maturity debt securities totaled $
Allowance for Credit Losses on Available for Sale Securities
The Company measures expected credit losses on available for sale debt securities when the Bank intends to sell, or when it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the amortized cost basis of the security is written down to fair value through income. For available for sale debt securities that do not meet the previously mentioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this evaluation indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, equal to the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income.
The ACL on available for sale debt securities is included within securities available for sale on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded within provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Losses are charged against the allowance when the Company believes the collectability of an available for sale security is in jeopardy or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
Accrued interest receivable on available for sale debt securities totaled $
Note 3 - Earnings Per Share
The following table presents a calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The difference between common shares issued and basic average common shares outstanding, for purposes of calculating basic earnings per share, is a result of subtracting unallocated ESOP shares and unvested restricted stock shares. There are

Allowance for Credit Losses. The following tables set forth the allocation of the Bank’s allowance for credit losses by loan category at the dates indicated. The portion of the credit loss allowance allocated to each loan category does not represent the total available for future losses which may occur within the loan category since the total credit loss allowance is a valuation allocation applicable to the entire loan portfolio. The Company generally charges-off the collateral or discounted cash flow deficiency on all loans at 90 days past due and all loans rated substandard or worse that are 90 days past due.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the changes in the provision for credit losses for each portfolio of loans were primarily due to fluctuations in the outstanding balance of each portfolio of loans collectively evaluated for impairment. The overall decrease in the allowance during the three months ended September 30, 2024 can be primarily attributed to a decrease in delinquent 1-4 family investor loans and commercial non-residential loans, as well as consistently low levels of net charge-offs, strong asset quality metrics and continued conservative lending practices.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, and exclusive of the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the changes in the provision for credit losses for each portfolio of loans were primarily due to fluctuations in the outstanding balance of each portfolio of loans collectively evaluated for impairment. Specifically, we experienced significant growth in our commercial construction and land portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and a corresponding increase in the provision for credit losses for this portfolio. The overall increase in the allowance during the three months ended September 30, 2023 can be primarily attributed to the previously mentioned growth in our commercial construction and land portfolio, partially offset by improved asset quality metrics with continued low levels of net charge-offs and a decrease in non-performing assets.
Under the provisions of ASU 326, loans evaluated individually for impairment consist of non-accrual loans. The following table presents the allowance for credit losses and recorded investment by loan portfolio classification at September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024:

Credit Quality Information
The following tables represent credit exposures by internally assigned grades as of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024 that management uses to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements as scheduled or at all. All loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard. The Company’s internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.
The Company’s internally assigned grades are as follows:
Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral.
Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected.
Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful 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 – loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as an asset is not warranted.
The Bank has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight to help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass category unless a specific action, such as nonperformance, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Credit Department is responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans on an ongoing basis. Every credit which must be approved by Loan Committee or the Board of Directors is assigned a risk rating at time of consideration. The Credit Department also annually reviews commercial relationships of $500,000 or greater to assign or re-affirm risk ratings.

Loan Delinquencies and Non-accrual Loans
Management further monitors the performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio by analyzing the length of time a recorded payment is past due. The following are tables which include an aging analysis of the recorded investment of past due loans as of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024. All non-accrual loans included in the tables below do not have an associated allowance for credit losses because any impairment is charged-off at the time the loan moves to non-accrual status.

Note 11 – Stock Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 for Compensation — Stock Compensation. The Company establishes fair value for its equity awards to determine their cost. The Company recognizes the related expense for employees over the appropriate vesting period, or when applicable, service period, using the straight-line method. However, consistent with the guidance, the amount of stock-based compensation recognized at any date must at least equal the portion of the grant date value of the award that is vested at that date. As a result, it may be necessary to recognize the expense using a ratable method.
On May 10, 2022, the shareholders of the Company approved the William Penn Bancorporation 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the issuance of up to

Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies
The Company 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. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
A summary of the Company's loan commitments is as follows as of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer if there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commitments generally have
25
require payment of a fee. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation. Collateral held varies, but primarily includes residential and commercial real estate.
As of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments was $
Periodically, there have been other various claims and lawsuits against the Bank, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which it holds security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other issues incident to its business. The Bank is not a party to any pending legal proceedings that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 13 - Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet the 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 Bank’s 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.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (described below) of tangible and core capital to total adjusted assets and of total capital to risk-weighted assets.
As of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the most recent notification from the regulators categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.
Federal banking agencies have established an optional “community bank leverage ratio” of between 8% to 10% tangible equity to average total consolidated assets for qualifying institutions with assets of less than $10 billion of assets. Institutions with capital meeting the specified requirement and electing to follow the alternative framework would be deemed to comply with the applicable regulatory capital requirements, including the risk-based requirements and would be considered well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action framework. In April 2020, the Federal banking regulatory agencies modified the original Community Bank Leverage Ratio (CBLR) framework and provided that, as of the second quarter 2020, a banking organization with a leverage ratio of 8 percent or greater and that meets the other existing qualifying criteria may elect to use the community bank leverage ratio framework. The modified rule also states that the community bank leverage ratio requirement will be greater than 8 percent for the second through fourth quarters of calendar year 2020, greater than 8.5 percent for calendar year 2021, and greater than 9 percent thereafter. The transition rule also maintains a two-quarter grace period for a qualifying community banking organization whose leverage ratio falls no more than 100 basis points below the applicable community bank leverage ratio requirement.

Note 14 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows authoritative guidance under FASB ASC Topic 820 for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The definition of
26
fair value under ASC 820 is the exchange price. The guidance clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability. The definition focuses on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability (an exit price), not the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability (an entry price). The guidance emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.
Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based on fair value models that use market participant or independently sourced market data which include: discount rate, interest rate yield curves, credit risk, default rates and expected cash flow assumptions. In addition, valuation adjustments may be made in the determination of fair value. These fair value adjustments may include amounts to reflect counter party credit quality, creditworthiness, liquidity, and other unobservable inputs that are applied consistently over time. These adjustments are estimated and, therefore, subject to significant management judgment, and at times, may be necessary to mitigate the possibility of error or revision in the model-based estimate of the fair value provided by the model. The methods described above may produce fair value calculations that may not be indicative of the net realizable value. While the Company believes its valuation methods are consistent with other financial institutions, the use of different methods or assumptions to determine fair values could result in different estimates of fair value. FASB ASC Topic 820 for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: | Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. |
Level 2: | Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed. |
Level 3: | Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. |
The following table presents the assets required to be measured and reported on a recurring basis on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at their fair value as of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis
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.
Loans individually evaluated for impairment are generally measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral supporting the loan. Evaluating the collateral for these loans is based on Level 3 inputs utilizing outside appraisals adjusted by management for sales costs and other assumptions regarding market conditions to arrive at fair value. As of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company charged-off the collateral deficiency on loans evaluated individually for impairment. As a result, there were
Other real estate owned (OREO) is measured at fair value, based on appraisals less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure. Valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell. Income and expenses from operations and changes in valuation allowance are included in the net expenses from OREO.
As of September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, there were
Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company's financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year-ends and have not been reevaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each year-end.
The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire company since a 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 following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments.
Cash and Due from Banks and Interest-Bearing Time Deposits
The carrying amounts of cash and amounts due from banks and interest-bearing time deposits approximate their fair value due to the relatively short time between origination of the instrument and its expected realization.

The fair value of investment and mortgage-backed securities is equal to the available quoted market price. If no quoted market price is available, fair value is estimated using the quoted market price for similar securities.
Equity Securities
The fair value of equity securities is equal to the available quoted market price.
Loans Receivable
The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current market inputs at which loans with similar terms are adjusted for liquidity and credit risk.
Regulatory Stock
The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value because Federal Home Loan Bank stock can only be redeemed or sold at par value and only to the respective issuing government supported institution or to another member institution.
28
Bank-Owned Life Insurance
The Company reports bank-owned life insurance on its Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at the cash surrender value. The carrying amount of bank-owned life insurance approximates fair value because the fair value of bank-owned life insurance is equal to the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable
The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and payable approximates fair value.
Deposits
Fair values for demand deposits, NOW accounts, savings and club accounts, and money market deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date as these products have no stated maturity. Fair values of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates currently being offered on similar instruments with similar maturities.
Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank
Fair value of advances from Federal Home Loan Bank is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on rates currently available to the Company for advances from Federal Home Loan Bank with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
Fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, considering market interest rates, the remaining terms and present credit worthiness of the counterparties.
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 825 for Financial Instruments, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, the Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments. The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a distressed sale. Fair value is best determined using observable market prices; however, for many of the Company’s financial instruments, no quoted market prices are readily available. In instances where quoted market prices are not readily available, fair value is determined using present value or other techniques appropriate for the particular instrument. These techniques involve some degree of judgment, and as a result, are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange. Different assumptions or estimation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.
The following tables set forth the carrying value of financial assets and liabilities and the fair value for certain financial instruments that are not required to be measured or reported at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition for the periods indicated. The tables below exclude financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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 area, that are worse than expected; (ii) changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our interest margins, reduce the fair value of financial instruments or reduce the demand for our loan products; (iii) increased competitive pressures among financial services companies; (iv) changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; (v) changes in the quality and composition of our loan or investment portfolios; (vi) changes in future allowance for credit losses, including changes required under relevant accounting and regulatory requirements; (vii) the ability to pay future dividends; (viii) changes in real estate market values in our market area; (ix) decreased demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, or decreased demand for financial services in our market area; (x) major catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods or other natural or human disasters and infectious disease outbreaks, the related disruption of any of these events to local, regional and global economic activity and financial markets, and the impact that any of the foregoing may have on us and our customers and other constituencies; (xi) legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business or changes in the monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board; (xii) technological changes that may be more difficult or expensive than expected; (xiii) success or consummation of new business initiatives may be more difficult or expensive than expected; (xiv) our ability to successfully execute our business plan and strategies and integrate the business operations of acquired businesses into our business operations (xv) our ability to manage market risk, credit risk and operational risk in the current economic environment; (xvi) adverse changes in the securities markets; (xvii) the inability of third party service providers to perform; (xviii) changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by bank regulatory agencies or the Financial Accounting Standards Board; and (xix) the impact of failures or disruptions in or breaches of the Company’s operational or security systems, data or infrastructure, or those of third parties, including as a result of cyberattacks or campaigns.
The following factors relating to the Merger and the Merger Agreement, among others, could also cause our financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in forward-looking statements: (i) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the Merger Agreement; (ii) the ability to obtain regulatory approvals and satisfy other closing conditions to the Merger, including approval by shareholders of Mid Penn and the Company; (iii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Mid Penn or the Company in connection with the Merger or the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iv) the possibility that the Merger may be more expensive to complete than anticipated; (v) diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; and (vi) potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the Merger.
Recent Developments
On October 31, 2024, the Company and Mid Penn entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into Mid Penn with Mid Penn as the surviving corporation. Immediately after the Merger, the Bank will merge with and into Mid Penn Bank, with Mid Penn Bank as the surviving bank. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of Company common stock then issued and outstanding will be converted into the right to receive 0.426 shares of Mid Penn common stock, with cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional shares. Mid Penn will also assume all outstanding options to acquire shares of Company common stock pursuant to their terms. Consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals, and the parties currently expect the Merger to be completed in the second quarter of 2025.

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.
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 period ended September 30, 2024 discusses significant accounting policies, including 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. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for credit losses.
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 judgment 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 $3.1 million as of September 30, 2024 in non-performing assets consisting of non-performing loans. Most of these assets are collateral dependent loans where we have incurred credit losses to write the assets down to their current appraised value less selling costs. We continue to assess the collectability of these loans and update our appraisals on these loans each year. To the extent the property values continue to decline, there could be additional losses incurred on these non-performing loans which may be material. In recent periods, we experienced strong asset quality metrics including low levels of delinquencies, net charge-offs and non-performing assets. Management considered market conditions in deriving the estimated allowance for credit losses; however, given the continued economic difficulties, the ultimate amount of loss could vary from that estimate.
Goodwill
The acquisition method of accounting for business combinations requires us to record assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration paid at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of consideration paid (or the fair value of the equity of the acquiree) over the fair value of net assets acquired represents goodwill. Goodwill totaled $4.9 million at September 30, 2024. Goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized on a recurring basis, but rather are subject to periodic impairment testing. The provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, management considered the then current economic environment in its evaluation, and determined, based on the totality of its qualitative assessment, that it is not more likely than not that the carrying value of goodwill is impaired. No goodwill impairment existed during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Income Taxes
We are subject to the income tax laws of the various jurisdictions where we conduct business and estimate income tax expense based on amounts expected to be owed to these various tax jurisdictions. The estimated income tax expense (benefit) is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The evaluation pertaining to the tax expense and related tax asset and liability balances involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity around the ultimate measurement and resolution of these matters.
Accrued taxes represent the net estimated amount due to or to be received from tax jurisdictions either currently or in the future and are reported in other assets on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. We assess the appropriate tax treatment of transactions and filing positions after considering statutes, regulations, judicial precedent and other pertinent information and maintain tax accruals
32
consistent with our evaluation. Changes in the estimate of accrued taxes occur periodically due to changes in tax rates, interpretations of tax laws, the status of examinations by the authorities and newly issued or enacted statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance that could impact the relative merits of tax positions. These changes, when they occur, impact accrued taxes and can materially affect our operating results. We regularly evaluate our uncertain tax positions and estimate the appropriate level of reserves related to each of these positions.
As of September 30, 2024, we had net deferred tax assets totaling $8.1 million. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. If currently available information raises doubt as to the realization of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is established. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax assets and liabilities. These judgments require us to make projections of future taxable income. Management believes, based upon current facts, that it is more likely than not that there will be sufficient taxable income in future years to realize the deferred tax assets. The judgments and estimates we make in determining our deferred tax assets are inherently subjective and are reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance that results in additional income tax expense in the period in which it is recognized would negatively affect earnings. Our net deferred tax assets were determined based on the current enacted federal tax rate of 21%. Any possible future reduction in federal tax rates, would reduce the value of our net deferred tax assets and result in immediate write-down of the net deferred tax assets though our statement of operations, the effect of which would be material.
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024
Summary. Total assets decreased $6.5 million, or 0.8%, to $812.2 million at September 30, 2024, from $818.7 million at June 30, 2024, primarily due to an $8.4 million decrease in net loans and a $2.9 million decrease in investments, partially offset by a $6.3 million increase in cash and cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $6.3 million, or 31.3%, to $26.5 million at September 30, 2024, from $20.2 million at June 30, 2024. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to $9.2 million of investment paydowns and an $8.4 million decrease in net loans, partially offset by a $9.0 million decrease in advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh and the repurchase of $1.5 million of shares of stock under previously announced repurchase programs.
Investments. Total investments decreased $2.9 million, or 1.2%, to $243.0 million at September 30, 2024, from $245.9 million at June 30, 2024. The decrease in investments was primarily due to the maturity and principal paydowns of securities included in the available for sale and held to maturity portfolios, partially offset by a $6.3 million decrease in the gross unrealized loss on available for sale securities. The Company remains focused on maintaining a high-quality investment portfolio that provides a steady stream of cash flows both in the current and in rising interest rate environments.
Loans. Net loans decreased $8.4 million, or 1.8%, to $462.2 million at September 30, 2024, from $470.6 million at June 30, 2024. The Company maintains conservative lending practices and credit pricing discipline, and is focused on lending to borrowers with high credit quality within its market footprint.
Deposits. Deposits remained relatively consistent at $629.8 million at both September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we experienced a $6.0 million decrease in interest bearing checking accounts, a $3.3 million decrease in savings accounts and a $2.5 million decrease in money market accounts, partially offset by a $10.2 million increase in time deposit accounts.
Borrowings. Borrowings decreased $9.0 million, or 18.8%, to $39.0 million at September 30, 2024, from $48.0 million at June 30, 2024.
Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $3.7 million, or 2.9%, to $128.3 million at September 30, 2024, from $124.6 million at June 30, 2024. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to a $4.8 million decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss component of equity related to the unrealized loss on available for sale securities. This increase to stockholders’ equity was partially offset by the repurchase of 125,441 shares at a total cost of $1.5 million, or $11.83 per share, during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 under the Company’s previously announced stock repurchase programs, the payment of a $0.03 per share quarterly cash dividend in August 2024 totaling $256 thousand and a $21 thousand net loss recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
33
Book value per share measured $13.91 as of September 30, 2024 compared to $13.33 as of June 30, 2024, and tangible book value per share measured $13.35 as of September 30, 2024 compared to $12.78 as of June 30, 2024. Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes goodwill and other intangible assets. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Information” section below for a reconciliation of tangible book value per share to book value per share.
As previously announced, the Company’s Board of Directors had authorized seven stock repurchase programs to acquire up to 6,433,769 shares of the Company’s outstanding shares. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had repurchased a total of 6,423,527 shares under these repurchase programs at a total cost of $75.2 million, or $11.70 per share.

General
The Company recorded a $21 thousand net loss, or $(0.00) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net income of $179 thousand, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company recorded a core net loss of $82 thousand, or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to core net income of $123 thousand, or $0.01 per basic share and $0.03 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Core net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain pre-tax adjustments and the tax impact of such adjustments, and income tax benefit adjustments. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Information” section below for a reconciliation of core net income to net income.
Net Interest Income
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net interest income was $4.1 million, a decrease of $603 thousand, or 12.7%, from the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in interest expense on deposits, partially offset by an increase in interest income on loans. The net interest margin measured 2.29% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 2.52% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in the net interest margin during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to an increase in interest rates during the period that caused an increase in the cost of deposits and borrowings that exceeded the increase in interest income on loans.
Provision for Credit Losses
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a $395 thousand recovery for credit losses primarily due to a decrease in delinquent loans, as well as consistently low levels of net charge-offs, strong asset quality metrics and continued conservative lending
34
practices. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a $5 thousand provision for credit losses primarily due to an increase in our commercial construction and land loans. Our allowance for credit losses totaled $2.5 million, or 0.54% of total loans, as of September 30, 2024, compared to $3.0 million, or 0.63% of total loans, as of June 30, 2024. Our total credit losses coverage ratio, including $2.1 million of fair value marks on acquired loans and the $2.5 million allowance for credit losses, was 0.99% as of September 30, 2024 compared to 1.08% as of June 30, 2024, including $2.2 million of fair value marks on acquired loans and the $3.0 million allowance for credit losses. Based on a review of the loans that were in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2024, management believes that the allowance is maintained at a level that represents its best estimate of lifetime credit losses. Total credit losses coverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that includes the fair value mark on acquired loans. Please refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Information” section below for a reconciliation of total credit losses coverage ratio to allowance for credit losses coverage ratio.
Management uses available information to establish the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses. Future additions or reductions to the allowance may be necessary based on estimates that are susceptible to change as a result of changes in economic conditions and other factors. As a result, our allowance for credit losses may not be sufficient to cover actual loan losses, and future provisions for credit losses could materially adversely affect our operating results. In addition, various bank regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for credit losses.
Non-Interest Income
The following table sets forth a summary of non-interest income for the periods indicated:

For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, non-interest income totaled $650 thousand, respectively. Earnings on bank-owned life insurance increased $35 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase to non-interest income was offset by a decrease in other non-interest income.
Non-Interest Expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, non-interest expense totaled $5.3 million, an increase of $98 thousand, or 1.9%, from the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to a $118 thousand increase in professional fees primarily due to an increase in legal fees.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a $116 thousand income tax benefit, reflecting an effective tax rate of (84.7)%, compared to an income tax benefit of $15 thousand, reflecting an effective tax rate of (9.1)%, for the same period in 2023. The income tax benefit recorded during these periods was primarily due to the $329 thousand and $294 thousand of federal tax-exempt income recorded on bank-owned life insurance recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
35
Asset Quality
Asset quality metrics remain strong with non-performing assets to total assets decreasing to 0.38% as of September 30, 2024 from 0.40% as of June 30, 2024. Total nonperforming loans consisted of 28 loans to 25 unrelated borrowers at September 30, 2024, as compared to 30 loans to 27 unrelated borrowers at June 30, 2024. Interest income related to non-performing loans would have been approximately $53 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2024 if these loans had performed in accordance with their terms during the period rather than having been on non-accrual.
There are circumstances when foreclosure and liquidations are the remedy pursued. However, from time to time, as part of our loss mitigation strategy, we may renegotiate the loan terms (i.e., interest rate, structure, repayment term, etc.) based on the economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties. We had no loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Average Balances and Yields
The following table presents information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning assets, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting annualized average yields and costs. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Loan fees, including prepayment fees, are included in interest income on loans and are not material. Non-accrual loans are included in the average balances only. Any adjustments necessary to present yields on a tax-equivalent basis are insignificant.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by current rate). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and volume.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
In this report, we present the non-GAAP financial measures discussed below, which are used to evaluate our performance and exclude the effects of certain transactions and one-time events that we believe are unrelated to our core business and not necessarily indicative of our current performance or financial position. Management believes excluding these items facilitates greater visibility into our core businesses and underlying trends that may, to some extent, be obscured by inclusion of such items.
Tangible Book Value per Share. Tangible book value per share represents our total equity less goodwill and other intangible assets divided by total common shares outstanding. Management believes tangible book value per share helps management and investors better understand and assess changes from period to period in stockholders’ equity exclusive of changes in intangible assets. This non-GAAP data should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (GAAP), and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. The following table provides a reconciliation of tangible book value per share of common stock to book value per share of common stock, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the periods presented.

Total Credit Losses Coverage Ratio. Total Credit Losses Coverage Ratio represents the total of our allowance for credit losses and the fair value mark on acquired loans divided by total loans excluding the fair value mark on acquired loans. Management believes the total credit losses coverage ratio helps management and investors better understand the total coverage for credit losses on loans. This non-GAAP data should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (GAAP), and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We maintain liquid assets at levels we believe are adequate to meet our liquidity needs. The Bank’s liquidity ratio was 39.5% as of September 30, 2024 compared to 38.5% as of June 30, 2024. We adjust our liquidity levels to fund deposit outflows, pay real estate taxes on mortgage loans, repay our borrowings, and to fund loan commitments. We also adjust liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives. Our liquidity ratio is calculated as the sum of total cash and cash equivalents and unencumbered investments securities divided by the sum of total deposits and total borrowings. The Bank maintains a liquidity ratio policy that requires this metric to be above 10.0% to provide for the effective management of extension risk and other interest rate risks.
Our primary sources of liquidity are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities, other short-term investments, earnings, and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and rates offered by our competition. We set the interest rates on
40
our deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the FHLB of Pittsburgh to provide advances and with the Federal Reserve Bank to provide an overnight line of credit. We also have available credit from the Atlantic Community Bankers Bank to purchase federal funds. As a member of the FHLB of Pittsburgh, we are required to own capital stock in the FHLB of Pittsburgh and are authorized to apply for advances on the security of such stock and certain of our mortgage loans and other assets (principally securities which are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States), provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. We had an available borrowing limit of $283.6 million with the FHLB of Pittsburgh at September 30, 2024. There were $39.0 million of FHLB of Pittsburgh advances outstanding at September 30, 2024.
At September 30, 2024, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $35.9 million, unfunded commitments under lines of credit of $61.6 million and $118 thousand of standby letters of credit. At September 30, 2024, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $166.1 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In the event a significant portion of our deposits are not retained by us, we will have to utilize other funding sources, such as FHLB of Pittsburgh advances, in order to maintain our level of assets. Alternatively, we could reduce our level of liquid assets, such as our cash and cash equivalents. In addition, the cost of such deposits may be significantly higher if market interest rates are higher at the time of renewal.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration for changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on performance than the effects of inflation.
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).
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 analysis at September 30, 2024 indicates a level of risk within the parameters of our model. Our management believes that the September 30, 2024 analysis indicates a profile that reflects interest rate risk exposures in both rising and declining rate environments for both net interest income and economic value.
Model Simulation Analysis. We view interest rate risk from two different perspectives. The traditional accounting perspective, which defines and measures interest rate risk as the change in net interest income and earnings caused by a change in interest rates, provides the best view of short-term interest rate risk exposure. We also view interest rate risk from an economic perspective, which defines and measures interest rate risk as the change in the market value of portfolio equity caused by changes in the values of assets and liabilities, which fluctuate due to changes in interest rates. The market value of portfolio equity, also referred to as the economic value of equity, is defined as the present value of future cash flows from existing assets, minus the present value of future cash flows from existing liabilities.
These two perspectives give rise to income simulation and economic value simulation, each of which presents a unique picture of our risk of any movement in interest rates. Income simulation identifies the timing and magnitude of changes in income resulting from changes in prevailing interest rates over a short-term time horizon (usually one or two years). Economic value simulation reflects the
41
interest rate sensitivity of assets and liabilities in a more comprehensive fashion, reflecting all future time periods. It can identify the quantity of interest rate risk as a function of the changes in the economic values of assets and liabilities, and the corresponding change in the economic value of equity of the Bank. Both types of simulation assist in identifying, measuring, monitoring, and controlling interest rate risk and are employed by management to ensure that variations in interest rate risk exposure will be maintained within policy guidelines.
We produce these simulation reports and discuss them with our management Asset and Liability Committee and Board Risk Committee on at least a quarterly basis. The simulation reports compare baseline (no interest rate change) to the results of an interest rate shock, to illustrate the specific impact of the interest rate scenario tested on income and equity. The model, which incorporates all asset and liability rate information, simulates the effect of various interest rate movements on income and equity value. The reports identify and measure our interest rate risk exposure present in our current asset/liability structure. Management considers a static (current position) analysis as well as non-parallel and gradual changes in interest rates and the yield curve in assessing interest rate exposures.
If the results produce quantifiable interest rate risk exposure beyond our limits, then the testing will have served as a monitoring mechanism to allow us to initiate asset/liability strategies designed to reduce and therefore mitigate interest rate risk. The table below sets forth an approximation of our interest rate risk exposure. The simulation uses projected repricing of assets and liabilities at September 30, 2024. The income simulation analysis presented represents a one-year impact of the interest scenario assuming a static balance sheet. Various assumptions are made regarding the prepayment speed and optionality of loans, investment securities and deposits, which are based on analysis and market information. The assumptions regarding optionality, such as prepayments of loans and the effective lives and repricing of non-maturity deposit products, are documented periodically through evaluation of current market conditions and historical correlations to our specific asset and liability products under varying interest rate scenarios. Because the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on a number of assumptions, these computations should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. While we believe such assumptions to be reasonable, assumed prepayment rates may not approximate actual future prepayment activity on mortgage-backed securities or agency issued collateralized obligations (secured by one- to four-family loans and multi-family loans). Further, the computation does not reflect any actions that management may undertake in response to changes in interest rates and assumes a constant asset base. Management periodically reviews the rate assumptions based on existing and projected economic conditions and consults with industry experts to validate our model and simulation results.
The table below sets forth, as of September 30, 2024, the Bank’s net portfolio value, the estimated changes in our net portfolio value and net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous parallel changes in market interest rates.

As of September 30, 2024, based on the scenarios above, net interest income would decrease by approximately 7.09% to 14.33%, over a one-year time horizon in a rising interest rate environment. One-year net interest income would increase by approximately 4.21% to 8.53% in a declining interest rate environment.
Economic value at risk would be negatively impacted by a rise in interest rates and would be positively impacted by a decline in interest rates. We have established an interest rate floor of zero percent for measuring interest rate risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure (1) that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (2) that they are alerted in a timely manner about material information relating to the Company required to be filed in its periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
42
During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved in various legal actions and claims arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these legal actions and claims are not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
For information regarding the Company’s risk factors, refer to the “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 5, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”). Except as set forth below, as of September 30, 2024, the risk factors of the Company have not changed materially from those disclosed in the Form 10-K.
Failure to complete the Merger could negatively affect our market price, future business and financial results.
Although we anticipate closing the Merger in the second quarter of 2025, we cannot guarantee when, or whether, the Merger will be completed. If the Merger is not completed for any reason, we will be subject to a number of material risks, including the following: (i) costs related to the Merger, such as legal, accounting and financial advisory fees, and, in specific circumstances, additional reimbursement and termination fees, must be paid even if the Merger is not completed; (ii) declines in our market price to the extent that the current market price of our common stock already reflects a market assumption that the Merger will be completed; (iii) the diversion of management’s attention from the day-to-day business operations and the potential disruption to each company’s employees and business relationships during the period before the completion of the Merger may make it difficult to regain financial and market positions if the Merger does not occur; and (iv) becoming subject to litigation related to any failure to complete the Merger.
Regulatory waivers and approvals may not be received or may be received and subsequently expire, be revoked or be amended to impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or cannot be met.
Before the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, may be completed, various waivers, approvals or consents must be obtained from various bank regulatory and other authorities, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the FDIC, and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities. In determining whether to grant these approvals, regulatory authorities consider a variety of factors, including the regulatory standing of each party. These approvals could be delayed or not obtained at all, including due to any or all of the following: an adverse development in any party’s regulatory standing or any other factors considered by regulators in granting such approvals; governmental, political, or community group inquiries, investigations or opposition; or changes in legislation or the political or regulatory environment generally, including as a result of changes of the U.S. executive administration, or Congressional leadership and regulatory agency leadership.
Even if the approvals are granted, they may impose terms and conditions, limitations, obligations or costs, or place restrictions on the conduct of the combined company’s business or require changes to the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. There can be no assurance that regulators will not impose any such conditions, limitations, obligations, or restrictions or that such conditions, limitations, obligations, or restrictions will not have the effect of delaying the completion of any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, imposing additional material costs on or materially limiting the revenues of the combined company following the Merger or otherwise reduce the anticipated benefits of the Merger if the Merger were completed successfully within the expected timeframe. In addition, there can be no assurance that any such conditions, limitations, obligations, or restrictions will not result in the delay or abandonment of the Merger. The completion of the Merger is conditioned on the receipt of the requisite regulatory approvals without the imposition of any materially burdensome regulatory condition and the expiration of all statutory waiting periods. Additionally, the completion of the Merger is conditioned on the absence of certain orders, injunctions, or decrees issued by any court or any governmental entity of competent jurisdiction that would prevent, prohibit, or make illegal the completion of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Despite the parties’ expected commitment to use their reasonable best efforts to respond to any request for information and resolve any objection that may be asserted by any governmental entity with respect to the Merger Agreement, neither party is required under the terms of the Merger Agreement to take any action, commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or restriction in connection with
43
obtaining these approvals, that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the combined company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the proposed Merger.
Further, such approvals are subject to expiration if the transaction is not consummated within the time period provided in the approval.
Combining Mid Penn and William Penn may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected, and Mid Penn may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger.
The success of the Merger will depend on, among other things, the ability of Mid Penn to integrate the Company into its business in a manner that facilitates growth opportunities and achieves the anticipated benefits of the Merger. If Mid Penn is not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. In addition, the actual cost and savings and anticipated benefits of the Merger could be less than anticipated, and integration may result in additional unforeseen expenses.
Litigation relating to the Merger could require us to incur significant costs and suffer management distraction, as well as delay and/or enjoin the Merger.
Neither the Company nor Mid Penn is currently able to predict the outcome of any suit arising out of or relating to the Merger that may be filed in the future. If any letters or complaints are filed, absent allegations that are material, the Company and Mid Penn will not necessarily announce such filings. The Company and Mid Penn could be subject to demands or litigation related to the Merger, whether or not the Merger is consummated. Such actions may create additional uncertainty relating to the Merger, and responding to such demands and defending such actions may be costly and distracting to management. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcomes of any demand or any subsequent litigation, we do not believe that the resolution of such demands or any subsequent litigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
The Company and Mid Penn will be subject to various uncertainties while the Merger is pending that could adversely affect their financial results or the anticipated benefits of the Merger.
Uncertainty about the effect of the Merger on counterparties to contracts, employees and other parties may have an adverse effect on us or the anticipated benefits of the Merger. These uncertainties could cause contract counterparties and others who deal with us or Mid Penn to seek to change existing business relationships with us or Mid Penn, and may impair our or Mid Penn’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the Merger is completed and for a period of time thereafter. Employee retention and recruitment may be particularly challenging prior to the completion of the Merger, as our employees and prospective employees, and the employees and prospective employees of Mid Penn, may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined organization following the Merger.
The pursuit of the Merger and the preparation for the integration of the two companies may place a significant burden on management and internal resources. Any significant diversion of management attention away from ongoing business and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could affect our financial results prior to the completion of the Merger and could limit us from pursuing attractive business opportunities and making other changes to our business prior to completion of the Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement.
The Merger may be completed on different terms from those contained in the Merger Agreement.
Prior to the completion of the Merger, we and Mid Penn may, by mutual agreement, amend or alter the terms of the Merger Agreement, including with respect to, among other things, the Merger consideration or any covenants or agreements with respect to the parties’ respective operations during the pendency of the Merger Agreement. Any such amendments or alterations may have negative consequences to us.
The Merger will not be completed unless important conditions are satisfied or waived, including approval of the Merger Agreement by our shareholders and Mid Penn’s shareholders.
Specified conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement must be satisfied or waived to complete the Merger. If the conditions are not satisfied or, subject to applicable law, waived, the Merger will not occur or will be delayed and each of Mid Penn and us may lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Merger.
