Other income increased by $11,000 as a result of the Company leasing the top floor of its Brookfield branch to new tenants.

Current report

Interest Income**.**Interest income increased by $1.2 million, or 27.2%, to $5.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to an increase in loan interest income.

Current report

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $62,000, or 3.5%, to $1.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025 from $1.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024, due to an increase in interest paid on FHLB borrowings.

The average rate paid on borrowings decreased from 4.04% for the six months ended December 31, 2024 to 3.74% for the six months ended December 31, 2025 due to a decrease in the federal funds rate.

Current report

Non-interest income increased slightly by $6,000 to $380,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2025 from $374,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2024. Other income increased by $10,000 as a result of the Company leasing the top floor of its Brookfield branch to new tenants. Mortgage banking income decreased as a result of less mortgage sales during the current six-month period.

Current report

Non-interest expenses were $3.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $3.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily related to an increase in salaries and employee benefits and professional fees which was offset by a decrease in data processing and office expenses. The salaries and employee benefits increase was associated with the new branch we opened in Brookfield, Wisconsin in January 2024. The increase in professional fees was related to timing of various legal expenses while the decrease in data processing and office expenses was related to a new contract with the Company’s core software provider which started in September 2025. This new contract is expected to save the Company approximately $185,000 annually.

Previous wording

Changes in the Wisconsin unemployment rate, the Wisconsin annual housing price index and the Wisconsin annual gross domestic product could have a material impact on the model’s estimation of the allowance for credit losses.

Previous wording

Loans. Gross loans increased $5.5 million, or 2.7%, to $208.0 million at September 30, 2025 from $202.5 million at June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in multi-family real estate loans of $2.9 million, or 6.1% and an increase in one-to-four-family residential loans of $2.6 million, or 4.6%. The increase in multi-family real estate loans and one-to-four-family residential loans was due to a strategic decision to grow both of these portfolios. The remaining categories of loans showed no substantial changes.

Current wording

Loans. Gross loans increased $11.1 million, or 5.5%, to $213.7 million at December 31, 2025, from $202.6 million at June 30, 2025.

Savings deposits showed no significant changes when comparing the two dates. The increase in demand, NOW and money market deposits was due to the Company’s increased focus on relationship management by obtaining customers’ deposit balances when granting loans to new customers. The decrease in certificates of deposit balances was related to customer funds being transferred to higher yielding certificate of deposit specials being offered by our competitors. The decrease in non-interest-bearing demand deposits was due to a combination of seasonal business cash management and increased consumer spending.

The increase in the average balance of deposits was the result of the initiation of new loan relationships which increased the average balances of demand, NOW, money market and savings deposit accounts while the decrease in the average balances of certificate of deposit accounts was primarily related to us successfully migrating customer funds from fixed-rate certificate of deposit products into more liquid deposit products with variable rates. The average rate paid on deposits decreased by seven basis points to 1.96% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from 2.03% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to declining interest rates and a shift in customer funds from fixed-rate certificates of deposit into more liquid deposit products with variable rates.

The average rate paid on borrowings decreased slightly from 4.19% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to 3.75% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 due to a decrease in the federal funds rate.

Net interest rate spread increased by 56 basis points to 3.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from 2.49% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting a 50 basis points increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets and a six basis points decrease in the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin increased to 3.49% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from 2.85% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in the average yield on interest earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in the average yield of all interest-earning asset categories (with the exception of cash and cash equivalents which decreased by 114 basis points due to a drop in the federal funds rate) related to the increase in market interest rates over the past year and an increase in the percentage of commercial and multi-family real estate loans making up the total loan portfolio which generally carry higher interest rates than the other categories of loans.

The increase in the average yield on interest earning assets for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in the average yield of all interest-earning asset categories (with the exception of cash and cash equivalents which decreased by 45 basis points due to a drop in the federal funds rate) associated with an increase in the percentage of commercial and multi-family real estate loans making up the total loan portfolio which generally carry higher interest rates than the other categories of loans.

The increase in net income was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income of $533,000. This increase was offset by a decrease in the recovery of credit losses of $115,000, from a recovery of credit losses of $155,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 to a recovery of credit losses of $40,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and a slight increase in non-interest expenses of $82,000.

The increase in the average yield on the debt securities portfolio was due to a $1.0 million floating rate corporate bond that was called in October 2025 that had a coupon rate of 10.17% for the last three months prior to being called. It was purchased in May 2021. The average balance of debt securities continued to decrease as a result of securities calls and paydowns.

The increase in the average yield on the debt securities portfolio was due to a $1.0 million floating rate corporate bond that was called in October 2025 that had a coupon rate of 10.17% for the last three months prior to being called. It was purchased in May 2021.

Based on our evaluation of the above factors, we recorded a recovery of credit losses of $40,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to a recovery of credit losses of $155,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in recovery when comparing the two periods was primarily related to an increase in the loan portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The recovery was related to the projected future economic conditions in our market area stabilizing over the next two years, an increase in prepayments in both consumer and commercial loans, which was impactful to the weighted average life of the loan portfolio and the continuous recoveries of two legacy charge-offs. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company updated the historical look-back method period used in developing lifetime loss estimate. Management believes the extended period better reflects a set of relevant loss experience. These predictions align with the Bank’s historic charge-off history over the past 9 years adjusted for current and forecasted conditions.

Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. At September 30, 2025, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $7.5 million, and no outstanding commitments to sell loans. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current lending commitments. Time deposits that are scheduled to mature in one year or less from September 30, 2025 totaled $45.1 million, which include $2.3 million in brokered certificates of deposit. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing time deposits will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize additional Federal Home Loan Bank advances or other borrowings, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.

To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded our best estimate of expected losses in the loan portfolio and for unfunded commitments at December 31, 2025. In addition, the WDFI and the FDIC, as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically review our allowance for credit losses, and as a result of such reviews, we may have to adjust our allowance for credit losses. However, regulatory agencies are not directly involved in establishing the allowance for credit losses as the process is our responsibility and any increase or decrease in the allowance is the responsibility of management.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

Interest expense on deposits remained substantially the same at $1.8 million when comparing the six months ended December 31, 2025 to the six months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in the average rate paid on deposits was offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits. The average rate paid on deposits decreased by ten basis points to 1.92% for the six months ended December 31, 2025 from 2.02% for the six months ended December 31, 2024 due to declining interest rates and a shift in customer funds from fixed-rate certificates of deposit into more liquid deposit products with variable rates. The increase in the average balance of deposits was the result of the initiation of new loan relationships which increased the average balances of demand, NOW, money market and savings deposit accounts while the decrease in the average balances of certificate of deposit accounts was related to customer funds being transferred to higher yielding certificate of deposit specials being offered by our competitors.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $1.2 million, or 41.9%, to $4.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025 from $2.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024. Net interest rate spread increased by 64 basis points to 3.11% for the six months ended December 31, 2025 from 2.47% for the six months ended December 31, 2024, reflecting a 57 basis points increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets and a seven basis points decrease in the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin increased to 3.56% for the six months ended December 31, 2025 from 2.84% for the six months ended December 31, 2024. The increase in the average yield on interest earning assets for the six months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in the average yield of all interest-earning asset categories (with the exception of cash and cash equivalents which decreased by 75 basis points due to a drop in the federal funds rate) was associated with an increase in the percentage of commercial and multi-family real estate loans making up the total loan portfolio which generally carry higher interest rates than the other categories of loans. Also, the Company has been retaining higher rate mortgages in its one-to-four-family residential loan portfolio. Net interest-earning assets increased by $15.0 million, or 41.3%, to $51.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2025 from $36.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2024.

Provision for (Recovery of) Credit Losses. We charge (credit) provisions for (recovery of) credit losses to operations in order to maintain our allowance for credit losses on loans and reserve for unfunded commitments at a level that is considered reasonable and necessary to absorb expected credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and expected losses on commitments to grant loans that are expected to be advanced at the consolidated balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance for credit losses, we consider our past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and the levels of non-performing and other classified loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or conditions change. We assess the allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis and make provisions for (recovery of) credit losses in order to maintain the allowance.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

The allowance for credit losses was $1.7 million, or 0.80%, of loans outstanding at December 31, 2025 and $1.7 million, or 0.92%, of loans outstanding at December 31, 2024.
