BROADWAY FINANCIAL CORP \DE\

December 31, 2025 and 2024

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation

Broadway Financial Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated under Delaware law in 1995 for the purpose of acquiring and holding all of the outstanding capital stock of Broadway Federal Savings and Loan Association as part of the bank’s conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings association to a federally chartered stock savings bank. In connection with the conversion, the bank’s name was changed to Broadway Federal Bank, f.s.b. (“Broadway Federal”). In 1996, the conversion was completed, and Broadway Federal became a wholly‑owned subsidiary of the Company.

In 2021, the Company completed its merger with CFBanc Corporation, with the Company continuing as the surviving entity. Immediately following the CFBanc Merger, Broadway Federal merged with and into City First Bank of D.C, National Association with City First Bank of D.C., National Association (the “Bank”) continuing as the surviving entity (combined with Broadway Federal). Concurrently with the Merger, the Bank changed its name to City First Bank, National Association.

The Bank’s business is that of a financial intermediary and consists primarily of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to make mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial real estate located in the Bank’s market areas. At December 31, 2025, the Bank operated three retail‑banking offices: Los Angeles and in the nearby city of Inglewood in California, and another in Washington, D.C. The Bank is subject to significant competition from other financial institutions and is also subject to regulation by certain federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Broadway Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, City First Bank, National Association (together with the Company, “City First Broadway”). Also included in the consolidated financial statements are the following subsidiaries of City First Bank: 1432 U Street LLC, Broadway Service Corporation, City First Real Estate LLC, City First Real Estate II LLC, City First Real Estate III LLC, City First Real Estate IV LLC, and CF New Markets Advisors, LLC (“CFNMA”). In addition, CFNMA also consolidates CFC Fund Manager II, LLC; City First New Markets Fund II, LLC; and City First Capital IX, LLC into its financial results. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on total equity or net income for any period.

Use of Estimates

To prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ from these estimates. The allowance and provision for credit losses, deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and fair values of investment securities and other financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash items in the process of collection, amounts due from correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “Federal Reserve Bank”), and interest‑bearing deposits in other banks with initial terms of ninety days or less. The Company may be required to maintain reserve and clearing balances with the Federal Reserve Bank under the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, as amended. Effective on March 26, 2020, as a part of Federal Reserve Bank’s tools to promote maximum employment, Federal Reserve Bank Board reduced reserve requirement ratios to zero. The reserve and clearing requirement balance were no longer required at December 31, 2025. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest‑bearing deposits in other banks, notes payable, deferred income taxes and other assets and liabilities.$103 thousand of cash and cash equivalents was restricted as of December 31, 2025.

Investment Securities

Debt securities are classified as held‑to‑maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available‑for‑sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available‑for‑sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level‑yield method without anticipating prepayments. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

The Company accounts for the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 (“ASC 326”) –Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The ACL on securities is recorded at the time of purchase or acquisition, representing the Company’s best estimate of current expected credit losses (“CECL”) as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition.

For available-for-sale investment securities, the Company performs a qualitative evaluation for those securities that are in an unrealized loss position to determine if the decline in fair value is credit related or non-credit related. In determining whether a security’s decline in fair value is credit related, the Company considers a number of factors including, but not limited to: (i) the extent to which the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost; (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; (iii) any downgrades in credit ratings; (iv) the payment structure of the security; (v) the ability of the issuer of the security to make scheduled principal and interest payments; and (vi) general market conditions which reflect prospects for the economy as a whole, including interest rates and sector credit spreads. For investment securities where the Company has reason to believe the credit loss exposure is remote, a zero credit loss assumption is applied. Such investment securities typically consist of those guaranteed by the U.S. government or other government enterprises, where there is an explicit or implicit guarantee by the U.S. government, that are highly rated by rating agencies, and historically have had no credit loss experience.

If it is determined that the unrealized loss, or a portion thereof, is credit related, the Company records the amount of credit loss through a charge to the provision for credit losses in current period earnings. However, the amount of credit loss recorded in current period earnings is limited to the amount of the total unrealized loss on the security, which is measured as the amount by which the security’s fair value is below its amortized cost. If the Company intends to sell a security that is in an unrealized loss position, or if it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position, the total amount of the unrealized loss is recognized in current period earnings through the provision for credit losses. Unrealized losses deemed non-credit related are recorded, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The Company analyzed available-for-sale investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position and determined the decline in fair value for those securities was not related to credit, but rather related to changes in interest rates and general market conditions. As such, no ACL was recorded for available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Loans Receivable Held for Investment

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of allowance for credit losses, deferred loan fees and costs and unamortized premiums and discounts. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct loan origination costs, premiums and discounts are deferred, and recognized in income using the level‑yield method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on all loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well‑secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non‑accrual or charged‑off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on non‑accrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash‑basis or cost recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise when several customers are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. The Company’s lending activities are predominantly in real estate loans that are secured by properties located in Southern California and in Washington, D.C. and surrounding areas, and many of the borrowers reside in those areas. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy and real estate market in the markets in which the Company operates.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans

The Company accounts for credit losses on loans in accordance with ASC 326, which requires the Company to record an estimate of expected lifetime credit losses for loans at the time of origination or acquisition. The ACL is maintained at a level deemed appropriate by management to provide for expected credit losses in the portfolio as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition. Estimating expected credit losses requires management to use relevant forward-looking information, including the use of reasonable and supportable forecasts. The measurement of the ACL is performed by collectively evaluating loans with similar risk characteristics. The Company measures the ACL for each of its loan segments using the weighted-average remaining maturity (“WARM”) method. The weighted average remaining life, including the effect of estimated prepayments, is calculated for each loan pool on a quarterly basis. The Company then estimates a loss rate for each pool using both its own historical loss experience and the historical losses of a group of peer institutions during the period from 2004 through the most recent quarter.

The Company’s ACL model also includes adjustments for qualitative factors, where appropriate. Since historical information (such as historical net losses) may not always, by itself, provide a sufficient basis for determining future expected credit losses, the Company periodically considers the need for qualitative adjustments to the ACL. Qualitative adjustments may include, but are not limited to factors such as: (i) changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collections, charge offs, and recovery practices; (ii) changes in international, national, regional, and local conditions; (iii) changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans; (iv) changes in the experience, depth, and ability of lending management; (v) changes in the volume and severity of past due loans and other similar conditions; (vi) changes in the quality of the organization’s loan review system; (vii) changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans; (viii) the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the levels of such concentrations; and (ix) the effect of other external factors (i.e., competition, legal and regulatory requirements) on the level of estimated credit losses.

The Company has a credit portfolio review process designed to detect problem loans. Problem loans are typically those of a substandard or worse internal risk grade, and may consist of loans on nonaccrual status, loans that have recently been modified in response to a borrower’s deteriorating financial condition, loans where the likelihood of foreclosure on underlying collateral has increased, collateral dependent loans, and other loans where concern or doubt over the ultimate collectability of all contractual amounts due has become elevated. Such loans may, in the opinion of management, be deemed to no longer possess risk characteristics similar to other loans in the loan portfolio, because the specific attributes and risks associated with the loan have likely become unique as the credit quality of the loan deteriorates. As such, these loans may require individual evaluation to determine an appropriate ACL for the loan. When a loan is individually evaluated, the Company typically measures the expected credit loss for the loan based on a discounted cash flow approach, unless the loan has been deemed collateral dependent. Collateral dependent loans are loans where the repayment of the loan is expected to come from the operation of and/or eventual liquidation of the underlying collateral. The ACL for collateral dependent loans is determined using estimates of the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated selling costs.

The estimation of the appropriate level of the ACL requires significant judgment by management. Although management uses the best information available to make these estimates, future adjustments to the ACL may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory, and other conditions that may extend beyond the Company’s control. Changes in management’s estimates of forecasted net losses could materially change the level of the ACL. Additionally, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s ACL and credit review process. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the ACL based on judgments different from those of management.

The Company has segmented the loan portfolio according to loans that share similar attributes and risk characteristics. Each segment possesses varying degrees of risk based on, among other things, the type of loan, the type of collateral, and the sensitivity of the borrower or industry to changes in external factors such as economic conditions. The Company determines the ACL for loans based on this more detailed loan segmentation and classification. These segments, and the risks associated with each segment, are as follows:

Real Estate: Single-Family – Subject to adverse employment conditions in the local economy leading to increased default rate, decreased market values from oversupply in a geographic area and incremental rate increases on adjustable-rate mortgages which may impact the ability of borrowers to maintain payments.

Real Estate: Multi‑Family – Subject to adverse various market conditions that cause a decrease in market value or lease rates, changes in personal funding sources for tenants, oversupply of units in a specific region, population shifts and reputational risks.

Real Estate: Commercial Real Estate – Subject to adverse conditions in the local economy which may lead to reduced cash flows due to vacancies and reduced rental rates and decreases in the value of underlying collateral.

Real Estate: Church – Subject to adverse economic and employment conditions, which may lead to reduced cash flows from members’ donations and offerings, and the stability, quality, and popularity of church leadership.

Real Estate: Construction – Subject to adverse conditions in the local economy, which may lead to reduced demand for new commercial, multi‑family, or single-family buildings or reduced lease or sale opportunities once the building is complete.

Commercial – Subject to industry and economic conditions including decreases in product demand.

Consumer – Subject to adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to higher default rates.

SBA –Subject to Federal legislation that can affect the funding and availability of the program.

Modified Loans to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

In certain instances, the Company makes modifications to loans in order to alleviate temporary difficulties in the borrower’s financial condition and/or constraints on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, and to minimize potential losses to the Company. Modifications include: changes in the amortization terms of the loan, reductions in interest rates, acceptance of interest only payments, and reductions to the outstanding loan balance (or any combination of such changes). Such loans are typically placed on nonaccrual status when there is doubt concerning the full repayment of principal and interest or the loan has been in default for a period of 90 days or more. Such loans may be returned to accrual status when all contractual amounts past due have been brought current, and the borrower’s performance under the modified terms of the loan agreement and the ultimate collectability of all contractual amounts due under the modified terms is no longer in doubt. The Company typically measures the ACL on these loans on an individual basis as the loans are deemed to no longer have risk characteristics that are similar to other loans in the portfolio. The determination of the ACL for these loans is based on the remaining life approach, unless the loan is deemed collateral dependent, which requires measurement of the ACL based on the estimated expected fair value of the underlying collateral, less selling costs.

Derivatives

At the inception of a derivative contract, the Company designates the derivative as one of three types based on the Company’s intentions and belief as to likely effectiveness as a hedge. These three types are (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment, (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability, or (3) an instrument with no hedging designation (“non-designated derivative”). The Company has designated its derivatives as non-designated derivatives. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated are currently reported in earnings, as non-interest income.

The Company is exposed to losses if a counterparty fails to make its payments under a contract in which the Company is in the net receiving position. The Company anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the agreements. All of the contracts to which the Company is a party settle monthly. In addition, the Company obtains collateral above certain thresholds of the fair value of its derivatives for each dealer counterparty based upon their credit standing and the Company has netting agreements with the dealers with which it does business.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is recorded upon completion of a business combination as the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of September 30th, or more often if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the business climate indicate there may be impairment. A goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. An impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. For goodwill considerations the Company is a single reporting unit. A weighted average of both the market and income approaches is used in valuing the reporting unit’s fair value. Weightings are assigned to the approaches regarding fair value and the sensitivity of other weighting scenarios is considered. The market approach incorporates comparable public company information, valuation multiples and consideration of a market control premium along with data related to comparable observed purchase transactions in the financial services industry. The income approach consists of discounting projected future cash flows, which are derived from internal forecasts and economic expectations for the reporting unit. The significant inputs and assumptions for the income approach include projected earnings of the Company in future years for which there is inherent uncertainty and the discount rate. The sensitivity of a range of reasonable discount rates based on the current economic environment is considered.

The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to perform its annual goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2025. Based on the quantitative assessment, the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, resulting in a full impairment of goodwill. On October 15, 2025, management, with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, concluded that the Company’s goodwill was fully impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $25.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Core deposit intangible assets arising from mergers and acquisitions are amortized on an accelerated basis reflecting the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up. The estimated life of the core deposit intangible is approximately 10 years.

Office Properties and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight‑line method with useful lives ranging from 10 to 40 years. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated using the straight‑line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) stock

The Bank is a member of the FHLB and FRB systems. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB and FRB stock are carried at cost, classified as restricted securities, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of their par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income when declared.

Bank‑Owned Life Insurance

The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on key executives and officers. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Investment in Affordable Housing Limited Partnership

The Bank owns a less than 5% interest in an affordable housing limited partnership. The investment is recorded using the cost method and is being amortized over the life of the related tax credits. The tax credits are being recognized in income tax expense in the consolidated financial statements to the extent they are utilized on the Company’s income tax returns. The investment is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs that would trigger potential impairment.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include off‑balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”)

An entity is considered to be a VIE when it does not have sufficient equity investment at risk, the equity investors as a group lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, or the entity is structured with disproportionate voting rights and substantially all of the entity’s activities are conducted on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights. The Company is required to consolidate a VIE when it holds a variable interest in the VIE and is also the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

Noncontrolling Interests

For consolidated subsidiaries that are less than wholly-owned, the third-party holdings of equity interests are referred to as noncontrolling interests. The portion of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for such subsidiaries is presented as net income applicable to noncontrolling interests on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, and the portion of the equity of such subsidiaries is presented as noncontrolling interests on the consolidated statements of financial condition and consolidated statements of changes in equity.

Revenue Recognition

ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle of this standard requires the Company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. Most of our revenue‑generating transactions are not subject to ASC 606, including revenue generated from financial instruments, such as our loans and investment securities, as these activities are subject to other GAAP discussed elsewhere within our disclosures. The Company’s revenue stream that is within the scope of Topic 606 is primarily service charges on deposit accounts, which consist of monthly service fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transaction based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

Stock‑Based Compensation

Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees and directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black‑Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards.

Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight‑line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Company recognizes interest related to income tax matters in interest expense and penalties related to tax matters in income tax expense.

Retirement Plans

Employee 401(k) expense is the amount of matching contributions made by the Company.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

The cost of shares issued to the ESOP, but not yet allocated to participants, is shown as a reduction of equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to be released to participant accounts. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares reduce debt and accrued interest.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed pursuant to the two‑class method by dividing net income available to common stockholders less dividends paid on participating securities (unvested shares of restricted common stock) and any undistributed earnings attributable to participating securities by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average common shares outstanding includes the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding less the weighted average number of unvested shares of restricted common stock. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. Diluted earnings per share of common stock includes the dilutive effect of unvested stock awards. It also includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options using the treasury method.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of the net income from operations and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available‑for‑sale, net of tax, which are also recognized as separate components of equity.

Loss Contingencies

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable, and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe that any such matters existed as of the balance sheet date that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ROU assets represent the Company’s right-of-use of an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments pursuant to the Company’s leases. The ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. To determine the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Fair values are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 9 “Fair Value.” Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Operating Segments

The Company operatesone reportable segment — banking. The Company’s chief executive officer is its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM assesses operating performance and manages the allocation of resources primarily based on the Company’s consolidated operating results and financial condition. The factors considered in making this determination include all of the banking products and services offered by the Company are available in each branch of the Company, management does not allocate resources based on the performance of different lending or transaction activities, and how information is reviewed by the chief executive officer and other key decision makers. The CODM uses consolidated net income to benchmark the Company against its competitors and to monitor budget to actual results. As a result, the Company determined that all services offered relate to banking. Loans, investments, and deposits provide the revenues in the banking operation. Interest expense, provisions for credit losses and payroll provide the significant expenses in the banking operation. See the Company’s operating segment information in the consolidated statements of financial condition and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Transfers and Servicing

To be eligible for sale accounting treatment, an entire financial asset, such as a loan, cannot be divided into components prior to the sale unless all of the components meet the definition of a participating interest. A participating interest has all of the following characteristics: (a) it represents a proportionate ownership interest in the entire financial asset; (b) from the date of transfer, all cash flows received from the entire asset are divided proportionately among the participating interest holders in an amount equal to their ownership percentage; (c) the priority of cash flows must be pari passu and no participating interest holder has any recourse to the other holders; and (d) no party can pledge or exchange the entire financial asset unless all participating interest holders agree.

Transfers of financial assets (or participating interests in financial assets) are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. The Company evaluates its loan sales and other financial asset transfers for sales treatment.

To the extent the transfer of assets (or participating interests in those assets) qualifies as a sale for accounting purposes, the Company derecognizes the asset and records the gain or loss on the sale date. In the event the Company determines that the transfer of assets does not qualify as a sale (or the portion of the asset sold does not qualify as a participating interest), the transfer is treated as a secured borrowing for accounting purposes until such date that the qualifications for sale accounting treatment are met.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued

In November of 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-08 –Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans. The amendments in this ASC expand the population of acquired financial assets subject to the “gross-up” approach in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326. In accordance with this ASC, loans (excluding credit card loans) acquired without evidence of credit deterioration since their origination that are deemed to be “seasoned” (as defined in the Codification) are determined to be “purchased seasoned loans” and are to be accounted for using the gross-up approach at acquisition. Prior to this ASU, for loans that were not determined to be purchased credit deteriorated loans, GAAP required that an allowance for credit losses be established for purchased loans through a provision for credit losses at the acquisition date. The gross-up approach allows an entity to record the acquisition-date allowance for credit losses for purchased seasoned loans through an offsetting addition to the amortized cost basis of the loan (rather than through the provision for credit losses). The ASU does not impact the accounting for loans that were acquired in periods prior to adoption of the ASU. The amendments in ASU 2025-08 will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2027; early adoption is permitted. The amendments in the ASU will not affect the Company’s accounting for loans in its portfolio on the date of adoption; however, loans acquired after the adoption date will be accounted for in accordance with the provisions of this ASU.

In December of 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10 –Governments Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. Prior to the issuance of this ASU, GAAP did not provide authoritative guidance about the recognition, measurement, and presentation of a grant received by a business entity from a government. The amendments in this ASU establish the accounting for a government grant received by a business entity, including guidance for (1) a grant related to an asset and (2) a grant related to income. The newly issued guidance requires that a government grant received by a business entity should not be recognized until: (1) it is probable that a business entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and that the grant will be received; and (2) a business entity meets the recognition guidance for a grant related to an asset or a grant related to income. The ASU also prescribes requirements for the subsequent income recognition, presentation matters, and financial statement disclosures related to government grants. The guidance in this ASU will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2029. Early adoption is permitted. The requirements in this ASU are similar to the guidance that the Company has been applying for accounting for government grants by analogy to guidance issued by other accounting standard setters and authoritative bodies. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will materially impact its financial condition or results of operations.

In December of 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 –Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The amendments in this guidance clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of ASC 270 by providing a comprehensive list of interim period disclosures that are required by GAAP. The updates in ASU 2025-11 also include a disclosure principal that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 will become effective for the Company for interim reporting periods beginning in the first quarter of 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however, the required disclosures will be added to the Company’s interim financial statements issued after the effective date.

Note 2 – Capital

Series C, Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock

On June 7, 2022, the Company issued 150,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share for the capital investment of $150 million from the U.S. Treasury under the Emergency Capital Investment Program (“ECIP”).

The Series C Preferred Stock accruedno dividend for the first 24 months following the investment date. Thereafter, the dividend rate will be adjusted based on the qualified lending growth criteria listed in the terms of the ECIP investment with the annual dividend rate up to 2%. After thetenth anniversary of the investment date, the dividend rate will be fixed based on the average annual amount of lending in years 2 through 10. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15.

Established by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, the ECIP was created to encourage low- and moderate-income community financial institutions and minority depository institutions to provide loans, grants, and forbearance for small businesses, minority-owned businesses, and consumers, especially low-income and underserved communities, including persistent poverty counties, that may be disproportionately impacted by the economic effect of the COVID-19 pandemic by providing direct and indirect capital investments in low- and moderate-income community financial institutions.

The Series C Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the Company on or after thefifth anniversary of issuance (or earlier in the event of loss of regulatory capital treatment), subject to the approval of the appropriate federal banking regulator and in accordance with the federal banking agencies’ regulatory capital regulations.

On January 14, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with the U.S. Treasury, which grants the Company the conditional option to repurchase the Series C Preferred Stock during the first 15 years following the Company’s issuance of the Preferred Stock. The purchase price for the Series C Preferred Stock under the Option Agreement is based on a formula approximate to the fair valueof the Series C Preferred Stock as of the date the Option Agreement is executed, calculated as set forth in the Option Agreement, together with any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon and could represent a discount from the Preferred Stock’s liquidation amount.

The purchase option may not be exercised during the first 10 years following the Company’s sale of the Series C Preferred Stock (“ECIP Period”) unless and until the Company meets at least one of the following three conditions (the “Threshold Conditions”): (1) an average of at least 60% of the Company’s loan originations qualify as “Deep Impact Lending” over any 16 consecutive quarters, (2) an average of at least 85% of the Company’s “total originations qualify as “Qualified Lending” over any 24 quarters or (3) the Series C Preferred Stock has a dividend rate of no more than 0.5% at each ofsix consecutive “Reset Dates,” in each case as defined in the Option Agreement and the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock. In addition to satisfying a Threshold Condition, the Option Agreement requires that the Company meet certain other eligibility conditions in order to exercise the purchase option in the future, including compliance with the terms of the original ECIP purchase agreement and the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock, maintaining qualification as either a certified community development financial institution or a minority depository institution and satisfying other legal and regulatory criteria. The Company may designate a mission aligned nonprofit affiliate as the purchaser of the Series C Preferred Stock under the terms of the Option Agreement.

The earliest possible date by which a Threshold Condition may be met is June 30, 2028, which is the end of thesixteenth consecutive quarter following the Original Closing Date. However, the Company does not currently meet any of the Threshold Conditions to exercise the purchase option, and there can be no assurance if and when the Threshold Conditions will be met.

In addition to the requirement that a Threshold Condition be met, the Repurchase Agreement requires that the Company meet certain other eligibility conditions in order to exercise the purchase option in the future, including compliance with the terms of the original ECIP purchase agreement and the terms of the Preferred Stock, maintaining qualification as either a CDFI or an MDI, and meeting other legal and regulatory criteria. Although the Company currently meets the general eligibility criteria, other than satisfying one of the Threshold Conditions, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet such criteria in the future.

The Company was required to begin paying quarterly dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock in the three month period ended June 30, 2024. Dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock totaled $3.0 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, with a dividend rate of 2.0%.

Note 3 – Securities

The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair value of the available‑for‑sale investment securities portfolios at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and the corresponding amounts of unrealized gains (losses) which are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss):

There wereno sales of securities during the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of all investment securities available-for-sale at December 31, 2025, by contractual maturities, are shown below. Contractual maturities may differ from expected maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The table below indicates the length of time individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position:

Securities with a market value of $83.7 million were pledged as collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase as of December 31, 2025 and included $67.9 million of federal agency mortgage-backed securities, $9.3 million of federal agency debt, $5.0 million of U.S. Treasuries, and $1.5 million of SBA pools. Securities with a market value of $7.7 million were pledged as collateral for D.C. Housing, securities with a market value of $4.2 million were pledged as collateral for D.C. Government, and securities with a market value of $157 thousand were pledged as collateral for FRB discount window.

Securities with a market value of $83.3 million were pledged as collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase as of December 31, 2024 and included $46.5 million of U.S. Treasuries, $27.1 million of federal agency debt, $5.5 million of federal agency mortgage-backed securities, and $4.2 million of SBA pools.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there wereno securities pledged to secure public deposits since those public deposits are under $250 thousand which are fully insured by FDIC. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there wereno holdings of securities by any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of equity. Accrued interest receivable on securities was $745 thousand and $796 thousand at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is included in the consolidated statements of financial condition inaccrued interest receivable.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there wereno securities in nonaccrual status. All securities in the portfolio were current with their contractual principal and interest payments. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, there wereno securities purchased with deterioration in credit quality since their origination, and there wereno collateral dependent securities.

Note 4 – Loans Receivable Held for Investment

Loans receivable held for investment were as follows as of the periods indicated:

The following tables summarize the activity in the allowance for credit losses on loans for the periods indicated:

The Company also recorded a recovery of provision for off-balance sheet loan commitments of $53 thousand and $91 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The ACL increased to $9.4 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $8.4 million as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in specific reserves on collateral dependent loans.

The Company evaluates loans collectively for purposes of determining the ACL. Collective evaluation is based on aggregating loans deemed to possess similar risk characteristics. In certain instances, the Company may identify loans that it believes no longer possess risk characteristics similar to other loans in the loan portfolio. These loans are typically identified from those that have exhibited deterioration in credit quality, since the specific attributes and risks associated with such loans tend to become unique as the credit deteriorates. Such loans are typically nonperforming, downgraded to substandard or worse, and/or are deemed collateral dependent, where the ultimate repayment of the loan is expected to come from the operation of or eventual sale of the collateral. Loans that are deemed by management to no longer possess risk characteristics similar to other loans in the portfolio, or that have been identified as collateral dependent, are evaluated individually for purposes of determining an appropriate lifetime ACL. The Company uses the remaining life approach, using the loan’s effective interest rate, for determining the ACL on individually evaluated loans, unless the loan is deemed collateral dependent, which requires evaluation based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated selling costs. The Company may increase or decrease the ACL for collateral dependent loans based on changes in the estimated fair value of the collateral.

The following tables present collateral dependent loans by collateral type as of the date indicated:

At December 31, 2025, $10.9 million of individually evaluated loans were evaluated based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. These loans had an associated ACL of $1.1 million as of December 31, 2025. All of these collateral dependent loans were on nonaccrual status at December 31, 2025.

At December 31, 2024, one $264 thousand individually evaluated loan was evaluated based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. This loan hadno associated ACL as of December 31, 2024 and was on nonaccrual status.

Past Due Loans

The following tables present the aging of the recorded investment in past due loans by loan type as of the dates indicated:

The following tables present the recorded investment in non‑accrual loans by loan type as of the period indicated:

The Company recognized $82 thousand of interest income on nonaccrual loans during the year ended December 31,2025. There wereno loans 90 days or more delinquent that were accruing interest as of December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

Modified Loans to Troubled Borrowers

GAAP requires that certain types of modifications of loans in response to a borrower’s financial difficulty be reported, which consist of the following: (i) principal forgiveness, (ii) interest rate reduction, (iii) other-than-insignificant payment delay, (iv) term extension, or (v) any combination of the foregoing. The ACL for loans that were modified in response to a borrower’s financial difficulty is measured on a collective basis, as with other loans in the loan portfolio, unless management determines that such loans no longer possess risk characteristics similar to others in the loan portfolio. In those instances, the ACL for such loans is determined through individual evaluation.

The following table presents the amortized costs basis as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the financial effect of loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Credit Quality Indicators

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, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. For single-family residential, consumer and other smaller balance homogenous loans, a credit grade is established at inception, and generally only adjusted based on performance. Information about payment status is disclosed elsewhere herein. The Company analyzes all other loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed at least on an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Pass rated loans are generally well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor and/or by the value of the underlying collateral. Pass rated loans are not more than 59 days past due and are generally performing in accordance with the loan terms.

The following table stratifies the loans held for investment portfolio by the Company’s internal risk grading, and by year of origination as of the date indicated:

Allowance for Credit Losses for Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet commitments related to unfunded loans and lines of credit, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities of the consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company applies an expected credit loss estimation methodology for off-balance sheet commitments. This methodology is commensurate with the methodology applied to each respective segment of the loan portfolio in determining the ACL for loans held-for-investment. The loss estimation process includes assumptions for the probability that a loan will fund, as well as the expected amount of funding. These assumptions are based on the Company’s own historical internal loan data.

The allowance for off-balance sheet commitments was $224 thousand and $277 thousand at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The recovery of credit losses for off-balance sheet commitments was $53 thousand and $91 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 5 – Office Properties and Equipment, net

Year‑end office properties and equipment were as follows:

Depreciation expense was $410 thousand and $424 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 6– Leases

Effective October 1, 2021, the Bank entered into an operating lease for its administrative offices at 4601 Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. The operating lease hasone 5-year extension option at the then fair market rate which was exercised during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The ROU asset represents our right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. Operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents our incremental borrowing rate at the date of the lease’s inception. The ROU asset totaled $1.5 million and $420 thousand as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and was included inother assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The lease liability totaled $1.5 million and $420 thousand as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and was included inaccrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition.

The Bank has no finance leases.

The Company recognized rent expense of $242 thousand in both 2025 and 2024.

Additional information regarding our operating leases is summarized below for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

The future minimum payments for operating leases with remaining terms of one year or more as of December 31, 2025 were as follows (in thousands):

Note 7 – Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible

The following tables present the changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill and core deposit intangibles for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

Management engaged a third-party to complete the goodwill impairment testing as of September 30, 2025. The quantitative test indicated that the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeded the fair value of the Company by approximately $25.9 million. On October 15, 2025, the Company’s management, with oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, concluded that, based on its annual impairment analysis, the Company’s goodwill was impaired in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Consequently, the Company recorded a non-cash $25.9 million goodwill impairment charge for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The Company does not expect that this charge will result in future cash expenditures.

The carrying value and accumulated amortization related to the Company’s core deposit intangible consisted of the following at December 31, 2025 and 2024:

The following table outlines the estimated amortization expense related to the core deposit intangible during the next five fiscal years:

Note 8 – Derivatives

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company began utilizing interest rate swap agreements with commercial banking customers to facilitate their interest rate management strategies. The Company entered into corresponding offsetting derivatives with third parties. While these derivatives represent economic hedges, they do not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes.

The Company presents derivative position gross on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements. The following table presents the amounts recorded on the consolidated statements of financial condition related to the Company’s interest rate swaps.

The following table presents the effect of the Company’s derivative financial instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company also recognized $194 thousand in swap fees in Other Income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Note 9 – Fair Value

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

The fair values of securities available-for-sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024.

Assets Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the following is a general description of the methods used to value such assets.

Collateral-Dependent Loans - The fair value of collateral-dependent loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available for similar loans and collateral underlying loans and result in a Level 3 classification.

The table below presents assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2024, the Company didnot have any assets or liabilities carried at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

The following table represents quantitative information about Level 3 fair value assumptions for assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2025.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments as of the periods indicated were as follows:

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities was measured using an exit price notion. Although the exit price notion represents the value that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, the actual price received for a sale of assets or paid to transfer liabilities could be different from exit price disclosed.

Note 10 – Deposits

Deposits are summarized as follows:

The Bank accepts two types of deposits from a deposit placement service called the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”). Reciprocal deposits are the Bank’s own retail deposits in amounts in excess of the insured limits. The CDARS program allows banks to place their customers’ funds in FDIC‑insured certificates of deposit at other banks and, at the same time, receive an equal sum of funds from the customers of other banks in the CDARS Network. These deposits totaled $150.8 million and $145.8 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively and are not considered to be brokered deposits. The other type of deposit that may be accepted under the CDARS program is nonreciprocal deposits which are considered to be brokered funds. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Bank hadno such deposits.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company purchased $70.0 million of nonreciprocal brokered certificates of deposit. The balance of these certificates of deposit was $70.0 million at December 31, 2025.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, approximately $413.5 million and $268.8 million of our total deposits (including deposits from affiliates) were not insured by FDIC insurance, which represented 41% and 32% of total deposits, respectively.

Scheduled maturities of certificates of deposit for the next five years are as follows:

Certificates of deposit of $250 thousand or more totaled $105.1 million and $33.2 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company has a significant concentration of deposits with five long‑time customers that accounted for approximately 28% and 18% of its deposits as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Deposits from principal officers, directors, and their affiliates totaled $24.8 million and $24.2 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 11 – Borrowings

The following table summarizes information relating to FHLB advances at or for the periods indicated:

Of the $72.0 million FHLB advances outstanding at December 31, 2025, $60.0 million is fixed-rate credit and subject to prepayment penalties if paid before its maturity date. The advances were collateralized by $448.6 million and $521.7 million of commercial real estate loans at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, under a blanket lien arrangement. Based on collateral pledged and the Company’s holdings of FHLB stock as of December 31, 2025, the Company was eligible to borrow up to an additional $150.7 million at year‑end 2025.

Scheduled maturities of FHLB advances are as follows:

The Company will, from time to time, sell a portion of a loan or group of loans to third parties. In some cases, the transferred portion of the loans does not meet the requirements to be treated as sales for accounting purposes. When that occurs, the legally transferred portion of the loan balance remains classified in gross loans receivable held for investment and a secured borrowing is recorded for the proceeds received from the third-party institution. As the transferred portion of the loan pays down, the secured borrowings are repaid. The Company has no obligation to make principal or interest payments on the secured borrowings unless and until payments are received from the loan borrowers. The terms of these loans were modified during the fourth quarter of 2025, at which point sale accounting treatment was applied and the debt was derecognized. The Company had secured borrowings associated with these participation loan transactions of $0 and $31.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on the secured borrowings was 5.54% at December 31, 2024.

On December 27, 2023, the Company borrowed $100.0 million from the Federal Reserve under the Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”). This borrowing was paid off in December 2024. The interest rate on this borrowing was fixed at 4.84%.

In addition, the Bank had additional lines of credit of $10.0 million with other financial institutions as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. No amounts were drawn on the lines of credit at December 31, 2025 or 2024.

Note 12 – Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The Bank enters into agreements under which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities. Under these arrangements, the Bank may transfer legal control over the assets but still retain effective control through an agreement that both entitles and obligates the Bank to repurchase the assets. As a result, these repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing agreements (i.e., secured borrowings) and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability in the Bank’s consolidated statements of financial condition, while the securities underlying the repurchase agreements remain in the respective investment securities asset accounts. In other words, there is no offsetting or netting of the investment securities assets with the repurchase agreement liabilities. As of December 31, 2025, securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $80.8 million at an average rate of 3.66%. These agreements mature on a daily basis, but management expects the agreements to be available in the foreseeable future. The fair value of securities pledged totaled $83.7 million as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $66.6 million at an average rate of 3.62%. The fair value of securities pledged totaled $83.3 million as of December 31, 2024.

Note 13 – Employee Benefit Plans

401(k) Plans

In July of 2022, the Broadway Federal Bank 401(k) benefit plan and the City First Bank 401(k) benefit plan were combined into one plan called “the City First Bank 401(k) benefit plan” (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan allows employee contributions for substantially all employees up to 15% of their compensation, which are matched at a rate equal to 50% of the first 6% of compensation contributed. In addition, the 401(k) Plan makes a non-elective safe harbor contribution of 3% of each eligible employee’s compensation. Expenses related to the 401(k) plans totaled $417 thousand in 2025 and $476 thousand in 2024.

ESOP Plan

Employees participate in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) after attaining certain age and service requirements. During 2022, the ESOP purchased 58,369 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average cost of $8.57 per share for a total cost of $500 thousand which was funded with a $5 million line of credit from the Company. During 2023, the ESOP purchased 369,953 additional shares of the Company’s common stock at an average cost of $9.19 per share for a total cost of $3.4 million which was funded with the line of credit. Any loans or borrowings under the line of credit will be repaid from the Bank’s discretionary contributions to the ESOP, net of dividends paid, over a period of 20 years. Shares of the Company’s common stock purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account until released for allocation to participants. When loan payments are made, shares are allocated to each eligible participant based on the ratio of each such participant’s compensation, as defined in the ESOP, to the total compensation of all eligible plan participants. As the unearned shares are released from the suspense account, the Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the ESOP shares during the periods in which they become committed to be released. To the extent that the fair value of the ESOP shares released differs from the cost of such shares, the difference is charged or credited to equity as additional paid‑in capital. Dividends on allocated shares increase participant accounts. Dividends on unallocated shares will be used to repay the loan. At the end of employment, participants will receive shares for their vested balance. Compensation expense related to the ESOP was $149 thousand for 2025 and $188 thousand for 2024.

Shares held by the ESOP were as follows:

During 2025 and 2024,0 and 30,036 of ESOP shares were released for allocation to participants, respectively. The outstanding book balance of unearned ESOP shares at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $3.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively, which is shown as unearned ESOP shares in the equity section of the consolidated statements of financial condition.

During December 2022, the Company issued a $5 million line of credit to the ESOP Plan for the purchase of additional shares. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the trustee for the ESOP had purchased 428,327 shares at a total cost of $3.9 million.

Note 14 – Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiary are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company adopted the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, on a retrospective basis as of January 1, 2025. The adoption primarily impacted the presentation and disaggregation of the Company’s income tax disclosures and did not affect the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The components of income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations consisted of the following:

Income taxes paid, net of refunds received was as follows:

Effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% applied to income before income taxes due to the following:

Year‑end deferred tax assets and liabilities were due to the following:

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management evaluated both positive and negative evidence, the amount of taxes paid in available carry‑back years, and the forecasts of future income and tax planning strategies. Based on this analysis, management determined that, as of December 31, 2025, a valuation allowance of $449 thousand was required on the Company’s net deferred tax assets, which totaled $6.7 million (net of valuation allowance). As of December 31, 2024, a valuation allowance of $449 thousand was required on the Company’s net deferred tax assets, which totaled $8.9 million (net of valuation allowance).

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had California net operating loss carryforwards of $22.0 million which will begin to expire in 2032 if not utilized. The Company also had federal general business credits of $1.0 million, which will begin to expire in 2033 if not utilized.

The Company didnot have any unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025 or 2024.

Federal tax years 2022 through 2025 remain open for the assessment of Federal income tax. California tax years 2021 through 2025 remain open for the assessment of California franchise tax. Washington, D.C. tax years 2022 through 2025 remain open for the assessment of D.C. franchise tax. The Company is not currently under examination by any tax authorities.

Note 15 – Stock‑Based Compensation

Prior to June 21, 2023, the Company issued stock-based compensation awards to its directors and officers under the 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) which allowed the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, full value awards and cash incentive awards. The maximum number of shares that could be awarded under that plan was 161,639 shares.

On June 21, 2023, stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2018 Long Term Incentive Plan (“Amended and Restated LTIP”) which allows the issuance of 487,500 additional shares and brought the number of shares that may be issued under the Amended and Restated LTIP to 649,139 shares.

The following table summarizes stock option activity during the year ended December 31, 2025:

There wasno stock-based compensation expense related to stock options during 2025 or 2024.

Options outstanding and exercisable at year‑end 2025 were as follows:

Stock Awards to Directors

In March 2025 and May 2024, the Company awarded 23,232 and 19,832 shares of common stock, respectively, to its directors under the LTIP, which are fully vested. The Company recorded $168 thousand and $96 thousand of compensation expense in the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, based on the fair value of the stock on the date of the award.

Restricted Stock Awards to Employees

In March 2022, the Company issued 61,908 shares of restricted stock to its officers and employees under the LTIP, of which 23,379 shares have been forfeited as of December 31, 2025. Each restricted stock award was valued based on the fair value of the stock on the date of the award. These awarded shares of restricted stock fully vest over periods ranging from 36 months to 60 months from their respective dates of grant.

Note 16 – Regulatory Matters

The Bank’s capital requirements are administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) and involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the OCC. Failure to meet capital requirements can result in regulatory action.

As a result of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, the federal banking agencies have developed a “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” (“CBLR”) (the ratio of a bank’s tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets) for financial institutions with assets of less than $10 billion. A “qualifying community bank” that exceeds this ratio will be deemed to be in compliance with all other capital and leverage requirements, including the capital requirements to be considered “well capitalized” under Prompt Corrective Action statutes. The federal banking agencies have set the Community Bank Leverage Ratio at 9%. Actual and required capital amounts and ratios as of the dates indicated are presented below:

At December 31, 2025, the Company and the Bank met all the capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject. In addition, the Bank was “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes that no conditions or events have occurred that would materially adversely change the Bank’s capital classifications. From time to time, we may need to raise additional capital to support the Bank’s further growth and to maintain the “well capitalized” status.

Note 17 – Loan Commitments and Other Related Activities

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off‑balance‑sheet risk for credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

The contractual amounts of financial instruments with off‑balance‑sheet risk at year‑end were as follows:

Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 60 days or less.

Note 19 – (Loss) Earnings Per Common Share

The factors used in the earnings per common share computation follow:

Stock options for 12,500 shares of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share because they were anti‑dilutive.

Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed pursuant to the two-class method by dividing net loss available to common stockholders less dividends paid on participating securities (unvested shares of restricted common stock) and any undistributed loss attributable to participating securities by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average common shares outstanding includes the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding less the weighted average number of unvested shares of restricted common stock. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. Diluted earnings per share of common stock includes the dilutive effect of unvested stock awards and additional potential common shares issuable under stock options. No unvested stock awards or potential common shares issuable under stock options were included in diluted earnings per share in either year.
