QNB CORP.

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QNB Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, QNB Bank (the “Bank”). The consolidated entity is referred to herein as “QNB” or the “Company”. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in QNB's 2024 Annual Report incorporated in the Form 10-K. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the period and are of a normal and recurring nature.

Tabular information, other than share and per share data, is presented in thousands of dollars.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

QNB has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date of June 30, 2025 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements and has not identified any subsequent event.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On March 6, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted final rules requiring registrants to disclose climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. These enhanced and standardized disclosures include material climate-related risks, board oversight and risk management activities descriptions, material impacts of these risks on a registrant’s strategy, business model and outlook, and any material climate-related targets or goals. The SEC’s climate-related disclosure rules are the subject of litigation by certain states and private parties, which has been consolidated in the federal Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. The SEC previously stayed effectiveness of the rules pending completion of that litigation. On March 27, 2025, the SEC announced that it had voted to withdraw its defense of its climate-related disclosure rules. On April 4, 2025, the intervenor states filed a motion to hold the litigation in abeyance until the SEC determines whether it will amend or rescind the climate-related disclosure rules through the rulemaking process. The SEC has not at this time indicated whether it is considering amending or rescinding the proposed rules. Management intends to continue to monitor these developments and their potential impact on the Company.

On June 26, 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) voted to issue final rules this year that will require public companies to provide enhanced detailed information about their income statement expenses. Companies will be required to break out certain expense items, such as employee compensation and purchases of inventory, in footnotes to their income statements. The standard will apply to fiscal years that start after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption will be permitted prospectively for the disclosure requirements, with optional retrospective application, for both interim and year-end reporting periods.

In 2025, QNBadopted FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No.2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The amendments in this ASU enhance annual disclosure for the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures improving the transparency of income tax disclosures and require: (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation; and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The adoption of this ASU is for annual periods and doesnot have a material impact on its financial statements.

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

All Stock-based compensation plans are administered by a Board committee (the “Committee”).

2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan"), under which both qualified and non-qualified stock options were granted periodically to certain employees, was authorized to issue 300,000 shares. Compensation cost has been measured using the fair value of an award on the grant date and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The 2015 Plan expired February 24, 2025.

The 2025 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2025 Plan"), authorizing the issuance of 500,000 shares, was approved at the Company's 2025 Meeting of Shareholders. Under the 2025 Plan, qualified stock options may be granted to certain employees and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and awards may be granted to certain employees and non-employee directors. There were no grants under the 2025 Plan. Compensation cost will be measured using the fair value of an award on the grant date and recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The 2025 Plan will expire on May 19, 2035.

Stock-based compensation expense related to the 2015 Plan was $35,000 and $19,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to the 2015 Plan was $65,000 and $38,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At June 30, 2025, there was approximately $575,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation award grants that is expected to be recognized over the next 56 months.

Options were granted to certain employees at prices equal to the market value of the stock on the date the options are granted. The time period during which any option is exercisable under the 2015 Plan was determined by the Committee but shall not commence before the expiration ofsix months after the date of grant. The 2015 Plan was amended, effective January 1, 2023, to increase the maximum term of any options granted under the plan from five years toten years, and to also require that awards granted under the Plan will vest 20% each consecutive year commencing on the first anniversary date of the award unless otherwise specified in an award agreement. As of June 30, 2025 there were 321,525 options granted (including canceled awards returned to the Plan and reissued),115,500 options forfeited,26,150 options exercised, and 179,875 options outstanding under this Plan.

The following assumptions were used in the option pricing model in determining the fair value of options granted during the period:

The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon yields of U.S. Treasury securities with a term approximating the expected life of the option being valued. Historical information was the basis for the selection of the expected dividend yield, expected volatility and expected lives of the options.

The fair market value of options granted in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $6.64 and$3.08, respectively.

Stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

QNB maintains a 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2021 ESPP") offering eligible employees an opportunity to purchase shares of QNB Corp. common stock at a 10% discount from the lesser of fair market value on the first or last day of each offering period (as defined by the Plan). There was $13,000 and $13,000 stock-based compensation expense related to the 2021 ESPP for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The 2021 ESPP authorized the issuance of 30,000 shares. As of June 30, 2025, there were 5,817 shares remaining for issuance under the 2021 ESPP Plan. The 2021 ESPP Plan expires May 31, 2026.

The QNB Corp. 2023 Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan was approved by shareholders on May 23, 2023 (The "Director Compensation Plan"). The Director Compensation Plan authorized the issuance of 50,000 shares, is effective January 1, 2023 and expires on January 1, 2033. The Plan initially required each non-employee director of QNB, or any subsidiary of QNB designated by the Board (including QNB Bank), to receive $8,000 of their total annual compensation for service as a director in the form of the QNB’s common stock; this amount was increased to $19,230 for 2025 to align director compensation with our peers. Under the Director Compensation Plan, commencing with the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, each non-employee director will receive, in addition to any cash compensation otherwise payable, a semi-annual grant of such number of shares of the QNB’s common stock determined by dividing (i) the Semi-Annual Stock Payment Amount (which is one-half of the annual compensation paid in stock) by (ii) the market value of a share of common stock determined as of June 30 or December 31 of any year, as applicable. Payments will be made under the Director Compensation Plan only to non-employee directors in office on the applicable payment date. As of June 30, 2025,5,853 shares were issued to non-employee directors and there were 44,147 shares remaining under the Plan. Stock-based compensation expense related to the Director Compensation Plan was $86,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and $36,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE & SHARE REPURCHASE PLAN

The following sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

There were 92,075 and 137,275 stock options that were anti-dilutive for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. There were 92,075 and 137,275 stock options that were anti-dilutive for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These stock options were not included in the above calculation.

QNB’s current stock repurchase plan was originally approved by the Board of Directors on January 21, 2008, increased in amount on February 9, 2009 to 100,000 shares, and subsequently increased on April 27, 2021 up to 200,000 shares of common stock in the open market or privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase authorization has no termination date. There wereno shares repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. As of June 30, 2025,102,000 shares were repurchased under this authorization at an average price of $24.93 and a total cost of approximately $2,543,000.

5. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

The following shows the components of accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

The following table presents amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

6. INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Available-For-Sale Securities

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of investment securities available-for-sale at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities available-for-sale by contractual maturity at June 30, 2025 is shown in the following table. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Maturities for mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are dependent upon the interest rate environment and prepayments of the underlying loans.

Proceeds from sales of investment securities available-for-sale were approximately $0 and $13,139,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, investment securities available-for-sale totaling approximately $236,699,000 and $241,586,000, respectively, were pledged ascollateral for repurchase agreements and deposits of public funds.

The following table presents information related to the Company’s gains and losses on the sales and calls of securities available-for-sale, and losses recognized for the impairment of these investments. Gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are computed on the specific identification method and included in non-interest income. Gross realized losses on debt securities are net of impairment charges:

The tax applicable to the net realized losses for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $0 and $230,000, respectively. The tax applicable to the net realized losses for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $0 and $230,000, respectively.

QNBfollows the accounting guidance in FASB ASC 326-10 as it relates to the recognition and presentation of impairment. This accounting guidance specifies that (a) if a company does not have the intent to sell a debt security prior to recovery and (b) it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the debt security prior to recovery, the security would not be considered impaired unless there isa credit loss. When an entity does not intend to sell the security, and it is more likely than not that the entity will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it will recognize the credit component of an impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive loss. No credit impairments were recognized on debt securities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following table indicates the length of time individual debt securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Management evaluates debt securities, which are comprised of U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government agencies, state and municipalities, mortgage-backed securities, CMOs and corporate debt securities, for impairment and considers the current economic conditions, interest rates and the bond rating of each security. The unrealized losses at June 30, 2025 in U.S. Government agency securities, state and municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities, CMOs and corporate debt securities are primarily the result of interest rate fluctuations. If held to maturity, these bonds will mature at par, and QNB will not realize a loss. QNB has the intent to hold the securities and does not believe it will be required to sell the securities before recovery occurs.

QNB holdsone pooled trust preferred security as of June 30, 2025. This security has a total amortized cost of approximately $57,000 and a fair value of $51,000. The pooled trust preferred security is available-for-sale and is carried at fair value.

Marketable Equity Securities

The Company’s investment in marketable equity securities primarily consisted of investments with readily determinable fair values in large cap stock companies. Changes in fair value are recorded in unrealized gain/(losses) in non-interest income. The Company sold its equity portfolio during 2024; at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, QNB hadno remaining equity securities.

The following is a summary of unrealized and realized gains and losses recognized in net income on equity securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

There wereno taxes applicable to the net gains (losses) recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to anexpense of $191,000 and $287,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Proceeds from sales of investment equity securities were $0 and $1,210,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

7. RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS IN STOCK

Restricted investment in stocks includes Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) with a carrying cost of $2,947,000, Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”) stock with a carrying cost of $12,000, VISA Class B-2 stock with a carrying cost of $0, and Senior Housing Crime Prevention Investment Corporation ("SHCPFIC") preferred stock of $1,000,000 at June 30, 2025. FHLB and ACBB stock were issued to the Bank as a requirement to facilitate the Bank’s participation in borrowing and other banking services. The SHCPFIC stock was issued to the Bank to enable its participation in a Community Reinvestment Act qualified investment. The Bank owns 100 shares of preferred stock of SHCPFIC. These shares are not transferable without the consent of SHCPFIC and do not have a readily-determinable fair value. The Bank’s investment in FHLB stock may fluctuate, as it is based on the member banks’ use of FHLB’s services.

The Bank has a $1,813,000 non-controlling investment in a discrete class of non-voting limited liability company membership interests issued by National Energy Improvement Fund, LLC (“NEIF”), a Pennsylvania limited liability company licensed in Pennsylvania as a consumer discount company. The proceeds of the investment will be used by NEIF to fund a State-sponsored consumer loan program, the KEEP Home Energy Loan Program, designed to assist Pennsylvania homeowners in reducing their energy costs.

The Bank owns 3,251 shares of Visa Class B-2 common shares, which was necessary to participate in Visa services in support of the Bank’s credit card, debit card, and related payment programs (permissible activities under banking regulations) as a member institution. Following the resolution of Visa’s covered litigation, shares of Visa’s Class B-2 stock will be converted to Visa Class A shares using a conversion factor (1.5342 as of March 27, 2025), which is periodically adjusted to reflect VISA’s ongoing litigation costs. There is a very limited market for this stock, as only current owners of Class B-2 shares are permitted to transact in Class B-2. Due to the lack of orderly trades and public information of such trades, Visa Class B-2 stock does not have a readily determinable fair value.

These restricted investments are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment periodically. As of June 30, 2025, there wasno impairment associated with these shares.

8. LOANS & ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs. Interest income is accrued on the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination and commitment fees and related direct costs are deferred and amortized to income over the term of the respective loan and loan commitment period as a yield adjustment.

Loans held-for-sale consists of residential mortgage loans that are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance charged to income. Gains and losses on residential mortgages held-for-sale are included in non-interest income.

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses on loans, which is intended to absorb probable known and inherent losses in the outstanding loan portfolio. The allowance is reduced by actual credit losses and is increased or decreased by the provision (reversal) for loan losses and increased by recoveries of previous losses. The provisions or reversals for credit losses are charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered necessary by management.

The allowance for credit losses is measured on a pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist; these pools are identified in the first table below. The Company establishes a general valuation allowance for performing loans, including non-accrual student loans. QNB calculates each segment's historical loss rate using a full economic cycle of loan balance and historical loss experienced. The level of the allowance is determined by assigning specific reserves to all non-accrual loans, except the homogeneous pool of student loans which are measured in the general reserve. An allowance on these non-accrual loans is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value) of the loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The portion of the allowance that is allocated to non-accrual loans is determined by estimating the inherent loss on each credit after giving consideration to the value of underlying collateral. The general component is adjusted for qualitative factors. These qualitative risk factors include:

Concentrations: The Company adjusts historic loss for concentrations in the current commercial portfolio that were not present during the down-turn of the economic cycle.

Economic Forecast: The Company utilizes an entire economic cycle of data to determine loss rates by segment. This approach reflects an inherent reversion to the historical losses during the life of the loans within the pool considering prepayments and loss experience throughout an entire economic cycle. However, the Company feels it is prudent to maintain a floor in its model to assure that there is enough reserve on hand to sustain any losses upon an upcoming recession.

Management emphasizes loan quality and close monitoring of potential problem credits. Credit risk identification and review processes are utilized in order to assess and monitor the degree of risk in the loan portfolio. The Company’s lending and credit administration staff are charged with reviewing the loan portfolio and identifying changes in the economy or in a borrower’s circumstances which may affect the ability to repay debt or the value of pledged collateral. A loan classification and review system exists that identifies those loans with a higher-than-normal risk of collectability. Each commercial loan is assigned a grade based upon an assessment of the borrower’s financial capacity to service the debt and the presence and value of collateral for the loan. An independent firm reviews risk assessment and evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management meets monthly to review the credit quality of the loan portfolio and quarterly to review the allowance for loan losses.

In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for credit losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments using information available to them at the time of their examination.

Management believes that it uses the best information available to make determinations about the adequacy of the allowance and that it has established its existing allowance for credit losses on loans in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP.) If circumstances differ substantially from the current calculation, future adjustments to the allowance for credit losses on loans may be necessary and results of operations could be affected. Because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that increases to the allowance will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate.

Major classes of loans are as follows:

Loans secured by commercial real estate include all loans collateralized at least in part by commercial real estate. These loans may not be for the express purpose of conducting commercial real estate transactions.

QNB generally lends in Bucks, Lehigh, and Montgomery counties in southeastern Pennsylvania. To a large extent, QNB makes loans collateralized at least in part by real estate. Its lending activities could be affected by changes in the general economy, the regional economy, or real estate values.

The Company engages in a variety of lending activities, including commercial, residential real estate and consumer transactions. The Company focuses its lending activities on individuals, professionals and small to medium-sized businesses. Risks associated with lending activities include economic conditions and changes in interest rates, which can adversely impact both the ability of borrowers to repay their loans and the value of the associated collateral.

Commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans and residential real estate loans with a business purpose are generally perceived as having more risk of default than residential real estate loans with a personal purpose and consumer loans. These types of loans involve larger loan balances to a single borrower or groups of related borrowers and are more susceptible to a risk of loss during a downturn in the business cycle. These loans may involve greater risk because the availability of funds to repay these loans depends on the successful operation of the borrower’s business. The assets financed are used within the business for its ongoing operation. Repayment of these kinds of loans generally comes from the cash flow of the business or the ongoing conversions of assets, such as accounts receivable and inventory, to cash. Typical collateral for commercial and industrial loans includes the borrower’s accounts receivable, inventory and machinery and equipment. Commercial real estate and residential real estate loans secured for a business purpose are originated primarily within the eastern Pennsylvania market area at conservative loan-to-value ratios and often backed by the individual guarantees of the borrowers or owners. Repayment of this kind of loan is dependent upon either the ongoing cash flow of the borrowing entity or the resale or lease of the subject property. Commercial real estate loans may be affected to a greater extent than residential loans by adverse conditions in real estate markets or the economy because commercial real estate borrowers’ ability to repay their loans depends on successful development of their properties, as well as the factors affecting residential real estate borrowers.

Loans to state and political subdivisions are tax-exempt or taxable loans to municipalities, school districts and housing and industrial development authorities. These loans can be general obligations of the municipality or school district repaid through their taxing authority, revenue obligations repaid through the income generated by the operations of the authority, such as a water or sewer authority, or loans issued to a housing and industrial development agency, for which a private corporation is responsible for payments on the loans.

The Company originates fixed-rate and adjustable-rate real estate-residential mortgage loans for personal purposes that are secured by first liens on the underlying 1-4 family residential properties. Credit risk exposure in this area of lending is minimized by the evaluation of the credit worthiness of the borrower, including debt-to-income ratios, credit scores and adherence to underwriting policies that emphasize conservative loan-to-value ratios of generally no more than 80%. Residential mortgage loans granted in excess of the 80% loan-to-value ratio criterion are generally insured by private mortgage insurance.

The real estate-home equity portfolio consists of fixed-rate home equity loans and variable-rate home equity lines of credit. Risks associated with loans secured by residential properties are generally lower than commercial loans and include general economic risks, such as the strength of the job market, employment stability and the strength of the housing market. Since most loans are secured by a primary or secondary residence, the borrower’s continued employment is the greatest risk to repayment.

The Company offers a variety of loans to individuals for personal and household purposes. Consumer loans are generally considered to have greater risk than first or second mortgages on real estate because they may be unsecured, or, if they are secured, the value of the collateral may be difficult to assess and is more likely to decrease in value than real estate. Credit risk in this portfolio is controlled by conservative underwriting standards that consider debt-to-income levels and the creditworthiness of the borrower and, if secured, collateral values.

The Company employs a ten-grade risk rating system related to the credit quality of commercial loans and loans to state and political subdivisions of which the first six categories are pass categories (credits not adversely rated). The following is a description of the internal risk ratings and the likelihood of loss related to each risk rating.

Excellent - no apparent risk

Good - minimal risk

Acceptable - lower risk

Acceptable - average risk

Acceptable – higher risk

Pass watch

Special Mention - potential weaknesses

Substandard - well defined weaknesses

Doubtful - full collection unlikely

Loss - considered uncollectible

The Company maintains a loan review system, which allows for a periodic review of our loan portfolio and the early identification of potential problem loans. Each loan officer assigns a risk rating to all loans in the portfolio at the time the loan is originated. Loans are generally reviewed annually based on the borrower’s fiscal year and the dollar amount of the relationship. Loans with risk ratings of seven through ten are reviewed at least quarterly, and as often as monthly, at management’s discretion. The Company also utilizes an outside loan review firm to review the portfolio on a semi-annual basis to provide the Board of Directors and senior management with an independent review of the Company’s loan portfolio on an ongoing basis. These reviews are designed to recognize deteriorating credits in their earliest stages in an effort to reduce and control risk in the lending function as well as identifying potential shifts in the quality of the loan portfolio. The examinations by the outside loan review firm include the review of lending activities with respect to underwriting and processing new loans, monitoring the risk of existing loans and to provide timely follow-up and corrective action for loans showing signs of deterioration in quality. In addition, the outside firm reviews the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on loans.

The following tables present the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate pass rating and the classified ratings of special mention, substandard and doubtful within the Company’s internal risk rating system as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

For retail loans, the Company evaluates credit quality based on the performance of the individual credits. The following tables present the recorded investment in the retail classes of the loan portfolio based on payment activity as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Revolving home equity lines of credit secured by 1-4 family properties termed out during 2025 and 2024 were $2,594,000 and $3,394,000 all of which are performing.

The performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio is also monitored by analyzing the age of the loans receivable as determined by the length of time a recorded payment is past due. The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the past due status as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

As previously discussed, the Company maintains a loan review system, which includes a continuous review of the loan portfolio by internal and external parties to aid in the early identification of potential problem loans. A loan is considered collateral dependent when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as collateral dependent. When placing a loan on non-accrual status, management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. All non-accrual loans, except student loans, are individually evaluated for an allowance for credit losses ("ACL"). This ACL is measured using either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell if the loan is collateral dependent.

An ACL is established for a non-accrual loan if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The estimated fair values of the majority of the Company’s non-accrual loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the loan’s collateral less costs to sell.

For commercial loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals. When a real estate secured loan becomes individually evaluated, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the original appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraised values are discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price of the collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include estimated costs to sell the property.

For commercial loans secured by non-real estate collateral, such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, estimated fair values are determined based on the borrower’s financial statements, inventory reports, accounts receivable agings or equipment appraisals or invoices. Indications of value from these sources are generally discounted based on the age of the financial information or the quality of the assets. The following tables discloses the recorded investment in loans receivable that are either on non-accrual status or past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

QNB recognized interest income of $0 and $36,000 on non-accrual loans during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following tables present the collateral-dependent loans by loan category at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Activity in the allowance for credit losses on loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

Since the implementation of ASC 326 on January 1, 2023, the Company may give loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty ("FDM"). A FDM could involve principal forgiveness, term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, interest rate reduction or exchanging or paying off existing debt for new debt with the Company. The effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. Any amount forgiven would be charged to the allowance for credit losses. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses. In some cases, modifications could include multiple types of concessions. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted.

The following table shows the amortized cost basis at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 of the loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, disaggregated by loan class, type of concession granted and the financial effect of the modification:

There wereno payment defaults during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 on FDMs. However, FDMs of $6,839,000 modified in 2025 remain on nonaccrual status with a $782,000 related allowance due to collateral shortfalls. At June 30, 2025, there were $2,901,000 in commitments to extend credit on the FDMs.

The Companyhas four relationships with mortgage loans secured by residential real estate totaling $630,000 for which foreclosure proceedings are in process at June 30, 2025.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (fair values are not adjusted for transaction costs). ASC 820 also establishes a framework (fair value hierarchy) for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). 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.

The measurement of fair value should be consistent with one of the following valuation techniques: market approach, income approach, and/or cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). For example, valuation techniques consistent with the market approach often use market multiples derived from a set of comparables. Multiples might lie in ranges with a different multiple for each comparable. The selection of where within the range the appropriate multiple falls requires judgment, considering factors specific to the measurement (qualitative and quantitative). Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach include matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used principally to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the security’s relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.

The following tables sets forth QNB’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis and the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

(1)Includes derivatives designated as fair value hedges.

There were no transfers in and out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 fair value measurements during the six months ended June 30, 2025. There wereno losses included in earnings attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to the available-for-sale securities above with fair value measurements utilizing significant unobservable inputs for the three- or six-month periods ended June 30, 2025.

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and for which QNB has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value:

(1)

Fair value is primarily determined through appraisals of the underlying collateral by independent parties, which generally includes various Level 3 inputs which are not always identifiable.

(2)

Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and the age of the appraisal. The range is presented as a percentage of the initial appraised value.

(3)

Appraisals and pending agreements of sale are adjusted by management for estimated liquidation expenses. The range is presented as a percentage of the initial appraised value.

The following table presents additional information about the available-for-sale securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and for which QNB utilized significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) to determine fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

The Level 3 securities consist ofone collateralized debt obligation security, the PreTSL security, which is backed by trust preferred securities issued by banks. The market for this security at June 30, 2025 was not active and markets for similar securities also are not active. The new issue market is also inactive and there are currently very few market participants who are willing and able to transact for these securities.

Given conditions in the debt markets today and the absence of observable transactions in the secondary and new issue markets, we determined:

•

The few observable transactions and market quotations that are available are not reliable for purposes of determining fair value at June 30, 2025;

•

An income valuation approach technique (present value technique) that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs will be equally or more representative of fair value than the market approach valuation technique used at prior measurement dates; and

•

The PreTSL will be classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because significant adjustments are required to determine fair value at the measurement date.

QNB used an independent third party to value this security using a discounted cash flow analysis. Based on management’s review of the bond’sthree underlying issuers, there areno expected credit losses or prepayments; cashflows used were contractual based on the Bloomberg YA screen. The assumed cashflows have been discounted using an estimated market discount rate based on the 30-year swap rate. The 30-year is used as the reference rate since it is indicative of market expectation for short-term rates in the future. This is consistent with the 30-year nature of the PreTSL security, which is priced using the 3-month LIBOR as a reference rate. The discount rate of 8.63% includes the risk-free rate, a credit component and a spread for illiquidity.

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 QNB’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between QNB’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of each major classification of financial instrument and non-financial asset at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable (carried at cost): The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate those assets’ fair value.

Investment securities (including derivative instruments) (carried at fair value): The fair value of securities is primarily 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. 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. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3). In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments. Cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) were used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments.

The fair value of derivatives instruments designated as fair value hedges are based on estimates QNB would receive or pay to terminate the contracts or agreement, taking into account current interest rates and when appropriate, the credit-worthiness of the counterparties; these values are included in Level 2.

Restricted investment in stocks (carried at cost): The fair value of stock in Atlantic Community Bankers Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, VISA Class B-2 SHCPFIC and NEIF is the carrying amount, based on redemption provisions, and considers the limited marketability of and restrictions on such securities.

Loans Held for Sale (carried at lower of cost or fair value): The fair value of loans held for sale is determined, when possible, using quoted secondary market prices. If no such quoted prices exist, the fair value of a loan is determined using quoted prices for a similar loan or loans, adjusted for the specific attributes of that loan.

Loans Receivable (carried at cost): The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the liquidity, credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.

Collateral Dependent Loans (generally collateral value less cost to sell): Collateral dependent loans are loans for which the Company has measured generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral, less cost to sell. The value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected 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.

Mortgage Servicing Rights (carried at lower of cost or fair value): The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The mortgage servicing rights are stratified into tranches based on predominant characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. The valuation incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income.

Deposit liabilities (carried at cost): The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity (e.g. demand deposits, interest-bearing demand accounts, money market accounts and savings accounts) are by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e. their carrying amounts). Deposits with a stated maturity (time deposits) have been valued using the present value of cash flows discounted at rates approximating the current market for similar deposits.

Short-term borrowings (carried at cost): The carrying amount of short-term borrowings approximates their fair values.

Long-term debt (carried at cost): Long-term debt has stated maturities and have been valued using the present value of cash flows discounted at rates approximating the current market for similar debt instruments.

Subordinated debt (carried at cost): Subordinated debt has stated maturities and call dates and have been valued using the present value of cash flows discounted at rates approximating the current market for similar debt instruments.

Off-balance-sheet instruments (disclosed at cost): The fair values for QNB’s off-balance sheet instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

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 the respective period ends and have not been re-evaluated 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 period end.

The estimated fair values and carrying amounts of the Company’s financial and off-balance sheet instruments are summarized as follows:

(1)Includes derivatives designated as fair value hedges.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial Instruments with off-balance sheet risk:

In the normal course of business there are various legal proceedings, commitments, and contingent liabilities which are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions and activities. They include, among other things, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The maximum exposure to credit loss, which represents the possibility of sustaining a loss due to the failure of the other parties to a financial instrument to perform according to the terms of the contract, is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. QNB uses the same lending standards and policies in making credit commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The activity is controlled through credit approvals, control limits, and monitoring procedures. QNB applies the resulting loss factors under the allowance for credit losses on loans to its unused commitments, assuming: additional funding for commercial lines up to the average line usage for non-pass rated lines with no current usage; and, additional funding up to the average line usage for retail lines with no current usage. This resulted in an allowance for credit losses on unused commitments of $85,000 at June 30, 2025 and $87,000 at December 31, 2024, which is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

A summary of the Company's financial instrument commitments is as follows:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. QNB evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the financial or performance obligation of a customer to a third party. QNB’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Standby letters of credit of $18,202,000 will expire withinone year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending other loan commitments. The Company requires collateral and personal guarantees supporting these letters of credit as deemed necessary. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of such collateral and the enforcement of personal guarantees would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The amount of the liability as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not material.

The amount of collateral obtained for letters of credit and commitments to extend credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral varies, but may include real estate, accounts receivable, marketable securities, pledged deposits, inventory or equipment.

Other commitments:

QNB has committed to various operating leases for several of their branch and office facilities. Some of these leases include specific provisions relating to rent increases. Some of the leases contain renewal options to extend the initial terms of the lease for periods ranging from five toten years and certain leases allow for multiple extens ions. There were no lease renewals during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

11. REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS

Dividends payable by QNB and the Bank are subject to various limitations imposed by statutes, regulations and policies adopted by bank regulatory agencies. Under Federal and Pennsylvania banking law, the Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it may declare without prior regulatory approval. Under Federal Reserve regulations, the Bank is limited as to the amount it may lend affiliates, including QNB, unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations.

Both QNB and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate actions by regulators that could have an effect on the financial statements. Under the framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators. Management believes, as of June 30, 2025, that QNB and the Bank met capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

As of the most recent notification, the primary regulator of the Bank considered it to be “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the classification. To be categorized as well capitalized, bank holding companies and insured depository institutions must maintain minimum ratios as set forth in the following table below.

The Company and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented as follows:

12. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

QNB's risk management objective with respect to derivative financial instruments is to hedge the risk of changes in the fair value of certain fixed-rate investment securities, included in a closed portfolio, for changes in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The effective portions of changes in the fair value of each derivative financial instrument are reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, net of tax, and are reclassified to interest income as interest payments are made or received on the hedged portfolios. QNB assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship using a regression analysis of prior periodic changes in fair value of both the hedge and the hedged item. In the assessment of hedge effectiveness, QNB will consider the likelihood of the counterparty's compliance with the contractual terms of the hedging derivative that could require the counterparty to make payments (counterparty default risk). If the likelihood that the counterparty will not default ceases to be probable, the hedge may no longer be highly effective and hedge ineffectiveness due to counterparty payment risk will be assessed.

The following tables present the notional amounts of derivatives designated as fair value hedging instruments at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024. QNB pledges cash or securities to cover the negative fair value of derivatives instruments. Cash collateral associated with the derivative instruments are not added to or netted against the fair value amounts.

The following table presents amounts included in the Consolidated Statements of Income for derivatives designated as fair value hedging instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

13. SUBORDINATED DEBT

On August 30, 2024, the Company entered into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements with certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors (collectively, the "Subordinated Note Purchasers") pursuant to which the Company issued and sold $40.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 8.875% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2034 (the "Subordinated Notes"). The Subordinated Notes were offered and sold by the Company to the Subordinated Note Purchasers in a private offering in reliance on the Section 4(a)(2) exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the provisionsof Regulation D thereunder. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes and potential future strategic opportunities.

The Subordinated Notes mature on September 1, 2034 and bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 8.875%, payable semi-annually in arrears, to but excluding September 1, 2029. From and including September 1, 2029 to but excluding the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to an interest rate per annum initially equal to the then-current three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus 545 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. The Company is entitled to redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after September 1, 2029, and to redeem the Subordinated Notes at any time in whole upon certain other events. Any redemption of the Subordinated Notes will be subject to prior regulatory approval to the extent required.

The Subordinated Notes are not subject to any sinking fund and are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Subordinated Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of the holders. The Subordinated Notes are unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company only and are not obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, any subsidiary of the Company. The Subordinated Notes rank junior in right to payment to the Company's current and future senior indebtedness. The Subordinated Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes.

At June 30, 2025, the carrying cost of the Subordinated Notes on the consolidated balance sheet represents the outstanding balance of the notes net of unamortized origination costsof $832,000 which are amortized to interest expense through September 1, 2029.
