Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Operations
The Bank of Princeton (the “Bank”) was incorporated on March 5, 2007, under the laws of the State of New Jersey and is a New Jersey state-chartered banking institution. The Bank was granted its bank charter on April 17, 2007, commenced operations on April 23, 2007, and is a full-service bank providing personal and business lending and deposit services. As a state-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The area served by the Bank, through its 29 branches, is generally an area within an approximate
50-mile
radius of Princeton, NJ, including parts of Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Ocean, and Somerset Counties in New Jersey, and additional areas in portions of Philadelphia, Montgomery, and Bucks Counties in Pennsylvania. The Bank also has two retail branches and conducts loan origination activities in select areas of New York.
The Bank offers traditional retail banking services,
one-to-four-family
residential mortgage loans, multi-family and commercial mortgage loans, construction loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans, including home equity loans and lines of credit.
On January 10, 2023, Princeton Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation formed by the Bank (the “Company”), acquired all the outstanding stock of the Bank in a corporate reorganization. As a result, the Bank became the sole direct subsidiary of the Company, the Company became the holding company for the Bank and the stockholders of the Bank became stockholders of the Company. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 211 total employees and 209 full-time equivalent employees.
On May 19, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Noah Bank, a Pennsylvania chartered state bank headquartered in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania that primarily served the Philadelphia, North New Jersey, and New York City markets. On that date, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Noah Bank for cash, and Noah Bank was merged with and into the Bank.
On January 18, 2024, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which the Company will acquire Cornerstone Financial Corporation (“Cornerstone”), the parent company of Cornerstone Bank, Mount Laurel, New Jersey in a transaction valued at approximately $17.9 million. Under the terms of the merger agreement, which has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies, Cornerstone will merge with, into and under the charter of the Company. In the merger, each share of Cornerstone common stock outstanding will be exchanged for 0.24 shares of the Company, subject to adjustment, having a value of $8.16 per share based on the $34.00 closing price of the Company common stock on January 17, 2024. Each share of Cornerstone’s preferred stock outstanding will be exchanged for its stated value of $1,000 per share. The transaction is subject to receipt of all required banking regulatory approvals, Cornerstone stockholder approval and certain financial and other contingencies. The transaction is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2024.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank, and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries: Bayard Lane, LLC, Bayard Properties, LLC, 112 Fifth Avenue, LLC, TBOP Delaware Investment Company and TBOP REIT, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the FDIC. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Estimates
The preparation of 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Because of uncertainties associated with estimating the amounts, timing and likelihood of possible outcomes, actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities, and evaluation of the potential impairment of goodwill.
Management believes that the allowance for credit losses is adequate as of March 31, 2024. While management uses current information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for credit losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions in the market area or other factors.
In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for credit losses. Such agencies may require the Company to effect certain changes that result in additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No. 2023-07
in November 2023, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. The amendments in this ASU require improved reportable segment information on an annual and interim basis, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This update will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The company has only one reportable segment, ASU
2023-07
is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU
No. 2023-09
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2023-09,
“Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. The amendments in the ASU require improved annual income tax disclosures surrounding rate reconciliation, income taxes paid, and other disclosures. This update will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure improvements” Amends disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The effective dates will depend, in part, on whether an entity is already subject to the SEC’s current disclosure requirements. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 - Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period adjusted to include the effect of outstanding stock options, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method. Shares issued during any period are weighted for the portion of the period they were outstanding.

Note 3 – Investment Securities (concluded)
Proceeds from calls and maturities of securities
available-for-sale
were not significant for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024.
The Company uses a defined CECL methodology for allowance for credit losses on its investment securities
available-for-sale.
The Company did not have an allowance for credit losses on its investment securities
available-for-sale
as of March 31, 2024.
The Company’s securities primarily consist of the following types of instruments; U.S. guaranteed mortgage-backed securities, U.S guaranteed agency bonds, state and political subdivision issued bonds and mortgage related securities guaranteed by the SBA We believe it is reasonable to expect that the securities with a credit guarantee of the U.S. government will have a
zero-credit
loss. Therefore, no reserve was recorded for U.S. guaranteed securities or bonds at March 31, 2024. The state and political subdivision securities carry a minimum investment rating of A by either Moody’s or Standard and Poor. Some of the smaller municipalities also have insurance to cover the Company in the event of default. Therefore, the Company did not project a credit loss and therefore no reserve was recorded as of March 31, 2024.
At March 31, 2024, the Company’s
available-for-sale
securities portfolio consisted of approximately 227 securities, of which 164
available-for-sale
securities were in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months and 30
available-for-sale
securities were in a loss position for less than twelve months. The
available-for-sale
securities in a loss position for more than twelve months consisted of 98 municipal securities aggregating $31.2 million with a loss of $3.3 million, 62 mortgage-backed
securities-GSE
aggregating $30.2 million with a loss of $6.5 million and four agency securities aggregating $5.2 million with a loss of $1.1 million. The Company does not intend to sell these securities, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses primarily relate to interest rate fluctuations and not credit concerns.
There are no securities pledged as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.
Note 4 – Loans Receivable

Note 4 – Loans Receivable (continued)
Upon CECL, the Company uses the discounted cash flow methodology in determining the appropriate quantitative adjustments, which projects future losses, based on historical and peer loss data, as part of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) reserve. Qualitative adjustments include and consider changes in national, regional, and local economic and business conditions, an assessment of the lending environment, including underwriting standards, and other factors affecting credit quality. There were no significant changes to the Company’s ACL methodology for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

The calculation of the allowance for credit losses does not include any accrued interest receivable. The Company’s policy is to write off any interest not collected after 90 days. During the three-month period ending March 31, 2024, the Company wrote off $310 thousand in accrued interest receivable for loans, compared to $130 
thousand for the three-month period ending March 31, 2023. Accrued interest receivable related to loans, at March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, was
 $5.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio is also monitored by analyzing the age of the loan receivables by the length of time a recorded payment is past due. The following table presents the segments of the loan portfolio, summarized by the past due status as of March 31, 2024:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company evaluates risk ratings on an ongoing basis and assigns one of the following ratings: pass, special mention, substandard and doubtful. The Company engages a third party to review its assessment on a semiannual basis. The Company classifies residential and consumer loans as either performing or nonperforming based on payment status.

The provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statement of Income is $265,000 comprising a $344,000 increase to the allowance for credit losses on loans and a $79,000 reduction to the reserve for unfunded liabilities.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had six loans totaling $2.1 million that were individually analyzed for potential credit loss and all the loans have real estate as credit support. Compared to December 31, 2023, the Company had nine loans totaling $6.7 million that were individually analyzed for potential credit loss.
Occasionally, the Company will modify the contractual terms of loans to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties as a way to mitigate loss, proactively work with borrowers in financial difficulty, or to comply with regulations regarding the treatment of certain bankruptcy filing and discharge situations. Typically, such concessions may consist of a reduction in interest rate to a below market rate, taking into account the credit quality of the note, extension of additional credit base on receipt of adequate collateral, or a deferment or reduction of payments (principal or interest) which materially alters the Company’s position or significantly extends the note’s maturity date, such that the present value of cash flows to be received is materially less than those contractually established at the loan’s origination. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount forgiven is charged off against the allowance for credit losses on loans.

Note 6 – Borrowings
At March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings outstanding.
Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
The Company follows the guidance on fair value measurements now codified as FASB ASC Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurement
(“Topic 820”)
.
 Fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.
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 transactions on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective
period-end
and have not been
re-evaluated
or updated for the purposes of these consolidated 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 from the amounts reported at each
period-end.
The fair value measurement 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). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level
 1
: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level
 2
: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level
 3
: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).
An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2024 were as follows:

There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures:
Investment Securities
The fair value of securities
available-for-sale
(carried at fair value) and
held-to-maturity
(carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. Level 2 debt securities are valued by a third-party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry, and not adjusted by management. Level 2 fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution date, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things.
Individual evaluated loans (generally carried at fair value)
Individual loans carried at fair value are those loans in which the Company has measured for a reserve and are generally based on the fair value of the related loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds, discounted for estimated selling costs or other factors the Company determines will impact collection of proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted bank stock, accrued interest receivable, and accrued interest payable are measured at the Company’s carrying amount.
The fair value of loans, deposits and borrowings are measured on a discounted basis using similar rates and terms.
The Mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of MSR is obtained through independent third-party valuations.
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).
Limitations
The fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (concluded)
These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Further, the foregoing estimates may not reflect the actual amount that could be realized if all or substantially all the financial instruments were offered for sale. This is due to the fact that no market exists for a sizable portion of the loan, deposit and
off-balance
sheet instruments.
In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing on and
off-balance
sheet financial instruments without attempting to value anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.
Finally, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be practical due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates which must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values.
Note 8 – Leases
Leases (Topic 842) establishes a right of use model that requires a lessee to record a right of use asset (“ROU”) and a lease liability for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The Company is obligated under 26 operating lease agreements for 25 branches and its corporate offices with terms extending through 2039. The Company’s lease agreements include options to renew at the Company’s discretion. The extensions are reasonably certain to be exercised, therefore they were considered in the calculations of the ROU asset and lease liability.
The following table represents the classification of the Company’s right of use and lease liability.

Note 9 – Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible
In accordance with ASC 805, the Company recorded $8.9 million of goodwill along with a core deposit intangible asset of $4.2 million of for the five branches acquired in 2019. The Noah Bank acquisition that occurred in 2023 did not generate any goodwill, but the Bank recorded $98 thousand in core deposit intangible asset. The core deposit intangible asset is being amortized over 10 years, using the sum of the year’s digits. Except as set forth below, GAAP requires that goodwill be tested for impairment annually (with the Company’s annual evaluation occurring on May 31 of each year) or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The reporting unit was determined to be our community banking operations, which is our only operating segment.
ASC Topic
350-20
 
guidance requires an annual review of the fair value of a Reporting
Unit that has goodwill in order to determine if it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than
 
50
%)
that the fair value of a Reporting Unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. A qualitative factor test can be performed to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If this qualitative test determines it is not more likely than not (less than
 
50
%
probability) that the fair value of the Reporting Unit is less than the Carrying Value, then the Company does not have to perform a quantitative test and goodwill can be considered not impaired. The Company performed its annual review at May 31, 2023 and determined that it was more than 50% probable the fair value of the Reporting Unit exceeds the then Carrying Value, therefore a quantitative test was not required as of May 31, 2023.

On April 24, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.30 per share of common stock to shareholders of record on May 10, 2024, payable on May 31, 2024.
Note 11 – Risk and Uncertainties
The occurrence of events which adversely affect the global, national, and regional economies may have a negative impact on our business. Like other financial institutions, our business relies upon the ability and willingness of our customers to transact business with us, including banking, borrowing and other financial transactions. A strong and stable economy at each of the local, federal, and global levels is often a critical component of consumer confidence and typically correlates positively with our customers’ ability and willingness to transact certain types of business with us. Local and global events outside of our control which disrupt the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, United States and/or global economy may therefore negatively impact our business and financial condition.
Government economic programs intended to backstop and bolster the economy through the pandemic have ended, and the nation’s economy has entered an inflationary phase. The Consumer Price Index has risen to levels not experienced since the 1980s while the labor market remains very tight, contributing additional inflationary pressure. To address the inflation problem, the Federal Reserve has reversed course on its previously accommodative monetary policies and aggressively increased short-term interest rates. These actions are intended to slow overall economic activity and risk entering the economy into a recession. Regional conflicts around the world, including between Russia and Ukraine, have exacerbated pandemic-related supply chain issues, upset numerous global markets including energy and certain raw materials, and generally added to economic uncertainty and geopolitical instability. Any or all could have negative downstream effects on the Company’s operating results, the extent of which is indeterminable at this time.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report, and with our audited consolidated financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” presented in our Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The Company may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements,” including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in its reports to stockholders and in other communications by the Company (including this press release), which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s control). The most significant factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements include the ongoing impact of higher inflation levels, higher interest rates and general economic and recessionary concerns, all of which could impact economic growth and could cause a reduction in financial transactions and business activities, including decreased deposits and reduced loan originations, our ability to manage liquidity in a rapidly changing and unpredictable market, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and additional interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following factors: the integration of the businesses of the Company and Cornerstone Financial Corporation “Cornerstone” following the completion of the business combination with Cornerstone Transaction, may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; the ability to obtain required regulatory and shareholder approvals, and the ability to complete the Transaction on the expected timeframe may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; the global impact of the regional conflicts around the world, including the Ukraine and the Middle East; the impact of any future pandemics or other natural disasters; civil unrest, rioting, acts or threats of terrorism, or actions taken by the local, state and Federal governments in response to such events, which could impact business and economic conditions in our market area; the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company and Bank conduct operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; market and monetary fluctuations; market volatility; the value of the Company’s products and services as perceived by actual and prospective customers, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors’ products and services; the willingness of customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Company’s products and services; credit risk associated with the Company’s lending activities; risks relating to the real estate market and the Company’s real estate collateral; the impact of changes in applicable laws and regulations and requirements arising out of our supervision by banking regulators; other regulatory requirements applicable to the Company and the Bank; and the timing and nature of the regulatory response to any applications filed by the Company and the Bank; technological changes; other acquisitions; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; those risks disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including under the heading “Risk Factors” set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company, except as required by applicable law or regulation.

Throughout this document, references to “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to the Company and the Bank.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in this document.

Economy

The US economy is showing signs of stress with inflation hitting a 40-year high, an increase in energy prices, specifically home-heating costs, higher interest rates set by the Federal Open Market Committee (impacting the real estate market) and uncertainties resulting from regional conflicts in around the world, including in Ukraine and the Middle East. However, the unemployment rate in New Jersey is below the national average.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023

General

Total assets were $1.99 billion on March 31, 2024, an increase of $71.5 million, or 3.73%, when compared to $1.92 billion at the end of 2023. The primary reason for the increase in total assets was attributable to increases in available for sale securities of $26.7 million, an increase in net loans of $22.9 million, and an increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $21.5 million.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents increased $21.5 million, or 14.29%, to $172.1 million at March 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily related to deposit growth of approximately $69.9 and partially offset by increases in available-for-sale securities of $26.7 million and in total loans of $22.9 million.

Table of Contents

Investment securities

Total available-for-sale investment securities increased million $26.7, or 29.28%, to $118.1 million at March 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023. This increase was related to the purchase of Government National Mortgage Association securities during the first quarter of 2024.

Loans

Loans, net of deferred loan fees and costs, increased $22.9 million, or 1.48%, to $1.57 billion at March 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023. The increase in the Company’s net loans consisted of a $19.9 million increase in commercial real estate loans and a $10.8 million increase in construction loans, partially offset by a decrease of $5.0 million in commercial and industrial loans, a decrease of $1.5 million in residential mortgages and a decrease of $770 thousand in HELOC/consumer loans.

Charge-offs for first quarter of 2024 were $283 thousand and recoveries were $107 thousand compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 which recorded charge offs of $55 thousand and recoveries of $65 thousand. The coverage ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period end loans was 1.18% at March 31, 2024 and 1.19% at December 31, 2023.

At March 31, 2024, non-performing assets totaled $2.1 million, a decrease of $4.6 million when compared to the amount at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily related to a $4.5 million commercial real estate loan which was sold during the first quarter of 2024. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total loans, net of deferred fees and costs, was 0.13% at March 31, 2024 and 0.43% at December 31, 2023.

Deposits

Total deposits at March 31, 2024 increased $69.9 million, or 4.27%, when compared to December 31, 2023. Certificates of deposit increased $77.1 million, money market deposits increased $24.7 million, and savings deposits increased $2.9 million. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in interest-bearing demand deposits of $32.6 million and non-interest-bearing deposits of $2.2 million.

At March 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $426.7 million in uninsured deposits, consisting of $67.6 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits, $128.7 million in interest-bearing demand deposits, $128.9 million in money market accounts, $21.3 million in savings deposits and $80.2 million in certificates of deposits.

Borrowings

The Company had no outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2024 and at December 31, 2023.

Stockholders’ equity

Total stockholders’ equity on March 31, 2024 increased $1.6 million or 0.66% when compared to December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the $2.4 million increase in retained earnings, consisting of $4.3 million in net income partially offset by $1.9 million of cash dividends recorded during the period. Additionally, stockholders’ equity declined as a result of a stock buyback of 19,000 shares totaling $579 thousand. The ratio of equity to total assets at March 31, 2024 and at December 31, 2023 was 12.2% and 12.5%, respectively.

Liquidity

Our liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal repayments of securities and outstanding loans, and funds provided from operations. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earnings assets such as overnight deposits or U.S. agency securities, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, general interest rates, economic conditions and competition greatly influence deposit flows and repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities.

Liquidity (continued)

As a member of the FHLB we are eligible to borrow funds in an aggregate amount of up to 50% of the Company’s total assets, subject to its collateral requirements. Based on available eligible securities and qualified real estate loan collateral, and a $70.0 million line of credit with the FHLB supporting municipal deposits, the Company had the ability to borrow an additional $148.9 million as of March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, the Bank was eligible to use the Federal Reserve discount window for borrowings. Based on assets pledged as collateral as of the applicable date, the Bank’s borrowing availability was approximately $10.0 million at March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had no outstanding advances from the discount window.

The Company is also a shareholder of Atlantic Community Bancshares, Inc., the parent company of Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”). As of March 31, 2024, the Company had available borrowing capacity with ACBB of $10.0 million to provide short-term liquidity generally for a period of not more than fourteen days. No amounts were outstanding under our line of credit with ACBB at March 31, 2024.

We believe that our current sources of funds provide adequate liquidity for our current cash flow needs.

Capital Resources

Regulatory Capital Requirements. Federally insured, state-chartered non-member banks are required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital. Current FDIC capital standards require these institutions to satisfy a common equity Tier 1 capital requirement and a Tier 1 capital requirement, a leverage capital requirement and a risk-based capital requirement.

In addition, in order to make capital distributions and pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers without restriction, an institution must also maintain additional common equity in excess of the minimum requirements. This excess is referred to as a capital conservation buffer. At March 31, 2024, the required capital conservation buffer is 2.50%.

Under the risk-based capital requirements, “total” capital (a combination of core and “supplementary” capital) must equal at least 8.0% of “risk-weighted” assets. The FDIC also is authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual institutions on a case-by-case basis. Management believes, as of March 31, 2024, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject and is “well capitalized” under applicable regulations.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios and the regulatory requirements at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are presented below:

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

General

The Company reported net income of $4.3 million, or $0.68 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $6.1 million, or $0.95 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in net income for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to increases in interest expense of $8.7 million and $2.1 million in non-interest expense, partially offset by a $7.5 million increase interest income, $611 thousand increase in non-interest income and a reduction of $835 thousand in income tax expense recorded.

Interest income

Interest income increased $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Interest income on loans increased $5.0 million due to increases in both the average balance of loans of $175.4 million and the yield of 60 basis points. Other interest and dividend income increased $2.1 million due to an increase in average balance of $153.6 million and an increase in the yield of 90 basis points. Interest on taxable available-for-sale securities increased $286 thousand due to an 120 basis point increase in yield and a $17 thousand increase in the average balance of taxable available-for-sale securities.

Interest expense

Interest expense on deposits increased $8.7 million to $12.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, due to increases in both the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits of 209 basis points and in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $351.6 million over the same prior year period.

Provision for credit losses

The Company reduced its provision for credit losses by $79 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2024 while the allowance for credit losses was $10 thousand higher than at December 31, 2023. The decrease in the ACL in the current quarter consisted of $302 thousand increase recorded to the allowance of credit losses and a reduction to the allowance of $116 thousand in unfunded commitments, which is reported in other liabilities on the Company’s statement of condition. Charge-offs were $283 thousand and recoveries were $107 thousand for the quarter ending March 31, 2024.

Non-interest income

Total non-interest income of $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2024 increased $611 thousand, when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The increase over the first quarter of 2023 was due to increases in loan fees of $373 thousand, $163 thousand of other non-interest income, and $91 thousand in bank owned life insurance income.

Non-interest expense

Total non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2024 increased $2.1 million or 21.1% from the first quarter of 2023. The increase was due primarily to increases in salaries and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment expenses of $1.1 million and $688 thousand, respectively. This increase can be attributed in part to the acquisition of Noah Bank which occurred in the second quarter of 2023.

Provision for income taxes

For the three months ending March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $1.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 19.7%, compared to an income tax expense of $1.9 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The lower effective tax rate record in the first three months ended March 31, 2024, was attributed to a higher level of tax free investments benefit compared to a lower amount of net income.

How We Manage Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk which is inherent in our lending, investment and deposit gathering activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages interest rate risk exposure. In addition to market risk, our primary risk is credit risk on our loan portfolio. We attempt to manage credit risk through our loan underwriting and oversight policies.

The principal objective of our interest rate risk management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk embedded in certain balance sheet accounts, determine the level of risk appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance objectives, and manage the risk consistent with approved guidelines. We seek to manage our exposure to risks from changes in interest rates while at the same time trying to improve our net interest spread. We monitor interest rate risk as such risk relates to our operating strategies. We have established an Asset/Liability Committee which is comprised of both Management and members of the Board of Directors. The Asset/Liability Committee meets on a regular basis and is responsible for reviewing our asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position. Both the extent and direction of shifts in interest rates are uncertainties that could have a negative impact on future earnings.

Gap Analysis. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest rate sensitive” and by monitoring the Company’s interest rate sensitivity “gap.” An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to affect adversely net interest income while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to affect adversely net interest income.

The table on the next page sets forth the amounts of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at March 31, 2024, which we expect, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown (the “GAP Table”). Except as stated below, the amounts of assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in accordance with the earlier of term to repricing or the contractual maturity of the asset or liability. The table sets forth an approximation of the projected repricing of assets and liabilities at March 31, 2024, based on contractual maturities, anticipated prepayments, and scheduled rate adjustments within a three-month period and subsequent selected time intervals. The loan amounts in the table reflect principal balances expected to be redeployed and/or repriced as a result of contractual amortization and anticipated prepayments of adjustable-rate loans and fixed-rate loans, and as a result of contractual rate adjustments on adjustable-rate loans.

Table of Contents

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates both on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate loans may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

Net Portfolio Value Analysis. Our interest rate sensitivity is also monitored by management through the use of a model which generates estimates of the changes in our net portfolio value (“NPV”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts. The NPV ratio, under any interest rate scenario, is defined as the NPV in that scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. The following table sets forth our NPV as of March 31, 2024, and reflects the changes to NPV as a result of immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as indicated.

As is the case with the GAP Table, certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPV require the making of certain assumptions which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the models presented assume that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV model provides an indication of interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such model is not intended to and does not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on net interest income and will differ from actual results.
