Bancorp Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

BCB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is incorporated in the State of New Jersey and is a bank holding company. The common stock of the Company is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market and trades under the symbol “BCBP”.

The Company’s primary business is the ownership and operation of BCB Community Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank is a New Jersey based commercial bank which, as of June 30, 2026, operated at 26 locations in Bayonne, Edison, Fairfield, Hoboken, Holmdel, Jersey City, Lyndhurst, Maplewood, Monroe Township, Newark, Plainsboro, South Orange, River Edge, Rutherford, Union, and Woodbridge New Jersey, as well as Staten Island and Hicksville, New York and is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank is principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using these deposits, together with borrowed funds, to invest in securities and to make loans collateralized by residential and commercial real estate and, to a lesser extent, business and consumer loans. The Bank has two active subsidiaries. BCB Holding Company Investment Corp. (the “New Jersey Investment Company”) was organized in January 2005 under New Jersey law as a New Jersey investment company primarily to hold investment and mortgage-backed securities. As a part of the merger with IA Bancorp, Inc. in 2018, the Company acquired Special Asset REO 1, LLC and Special Asset REO 2, LLC. The Bank changed the name of Special Asset REO 1, LLC to BCB Capital Finance Group, LLC in November 2023. This subsidiary is inactive. Special Asset REO 2, LLC hadone foreclosed property at June 30, 2026, totaling $5.0 million.

Theconsolidated financial statements which include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company operates as asingle reportable segment under ASC 280, as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews financial performance and allocates resources based on the consolidated results of the Company as a whole. The Company, through its bank subsidiary, provides banking services to individuals and companies primarily in New Jersey and New York. These services include commercial lending, residential lending, and consumer lending, checking, savings and time deposits, and cash management. The CODM primarily evaluates performance using net interest income and net income as reported in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s primary measure of profitability is net interest income, which represents interest earned on loans and investment securities, net of interest expense on deposits and borrowings. In addition, the CODM considers net income as a key measure of overall financial performance. The Company’s CODM is the President & Chief Executive Officer.

Other performance indicators regularly reviewed by management include:

Net Interest Margin (NIM) – Measures the profitability of interest-earning assets.

Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) – Evaluates efficiency and shareholder returns.

Efficiency Ratio – Assesses cost management by comparing non-interest expense to total revenue.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all information that would be included in audited consolidated financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial condition and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, or any other future period. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilitiesas of the date of the consolidated statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the periods then ended. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions that occurred between December 31, 2025 and the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

Risks and Uncertainties -The occurrence of events which adversely affect the global, national and regional economies may have a negative impact on our business. Like other financial institutions, our business relies upon the ability and willingness of our customers to transact business with us. A strong and stable economy at each of the local, federal and global levels is often a critical component of consumer confidence and typically correlates positively with our customers’ ability and willingness to transact certain types of business with us. Local and global events outside of our control which disrupt the New Jersey, New York, United States and/or global economy may therefore negatively impact our business and financial condition.

Note 2 -Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-08, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans. The amendment expands the gross-up approach to certain acquired loans defined as “purchased seasoned loans” (PSLs). For PSLs the allowance for credit losses is recognized at acquisition as an adjustment to amortized cost, eliminating Day-1 provision expense. The amendments are expected to enhance comparability and simplify application for institutions acquiring loan portfolios. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate adoption having an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Reclassification

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These changes had no effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

The following table presents a summary of the status of the Company’s restricted shares as of June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Restricted stock expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026, June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 was $405,000, $461,000 and $341,000, respectively. Expected future expenses relating to the non-vested restricted shares outstanding as of June 30, 2026 was approximately $7.747 million over a weighted average period of 4.36 years.

The following table presents a summary of the status of the Company’s outstanding stock option awards as of June 30, 2026.

As of June 30, 2026, stock options which were granted and were exercisable totaled 794,249. It is the Company’s policy to issue new shares upon a stock option exercise.

Compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026, June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024 was $68,000, $90,000 and $56,000, respectively. Expected future compensation expense relating to the 54,547 shares of unvested options outstanding as of June 30, 2026 was $119,000 over a weighted average period of 1.41 years.

Note 5 – Net (Loss) Income per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income less dividends on preferred stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The diluted net income per common share is computed by adjusting the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding to include the effects of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method. Dilution is not applicable in periods of net loss. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024, the difference in the weighted average number of basic and diluted common shares was due solely to the effects of outstanding stock options and restricted stock . There were 1,558,000,958,000 and 920,000 outstanding options and restricted stock considered to be anti-dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. There were 1,562,000,958,000 and 912,000 outstanding options and restricted stock considered to be anti-dilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

‎

Note 7 – Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses (Continued)

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company engages a third-party vendor to assist in the CECL calculation and has established a robust internal governance framework to oversee the quarterly estimation process for the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). The ACL calculation methodology relies on regression-based discounted cash flow (“DCF”) models that correlate relationships between certain financial metrics and external market and macroeconomic variables. Following are some of the key factors and assumptions that are used in the Company’s CECL calculations:

‎

methods based on probability of default and loss given default which are modeled based on macroeconomic scenarios;

a reasonable and supportable forecast period determined based on management’s current review of macroeconomic environment;

a reversion period after the reasonable and supportable forecast period;

estimated prepayment rates based on the Company’s historical experience and future macroeconomic environment;

estimated credit utilization rates based on the Company’s historical experience and future macroeconomic environment; and

incorporation of qualitative factors not captured within the modeled results. The qualitative factors include but are not limited to changes in lending policies, business conditions, changes in the nature and size of the portfolio, portfolio concentrations, and external factors such as competition.

‎Allowance for credit losses are aggregated for the major loan segments, with similar risk characteristics, summarized below. However, for the purposes of calculating the reserves, these segments may be further broken down into loan classes by risk characteristics that include but are not limited to regulatory call codes, industry type, geographic location, and collateral type.

Residential one-to-four family real estate loans involve certain risks such as interest rate risk and risk of non-repayment. Adjustable-rate residential real estate loans decrease the interest rate risk to the Bank that is associated with changes in interest rates but involve other risks, primarily because as interest rates rise, the payment by the borrower rises to the extent permitted by the terms of the loan, thereby increasing the potential for default. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying properties may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Repayment risk may be affected by a number of factors including, but not necessarily limited to, job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy of the borrower.

Commercial and multi-family real estate lending entails additional risks as compared with one-to-four family residential real estate lending. Such loans typically involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. The payment experience on such loans is typically dependent on the successful operation of the real estate project. Loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate are generally larger and involve a greater degree of risk than one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. The borrower’s creditworthiness, as well as the property’s continued viability and cash flow potential are of primary concern in commercial and multi-family real estate lending. Commercial loans secured by owner occupied properties involve different risks when measured against one-to-four family residential and non-owner-occupied commercial mortgage loans. Cash flow on owner occupied properties is often dependent on the success of the business operation contained within the subject property. The success of such projects is sensitive to changes in supply and demand conditions in the market for commercial real estate as well as general economic conditions.

Cannabis related loans include commercial and multi-family, construction, and commercial business loans to borrowers involved in the cannabis industry, and have the risks inherent in such loan types discussed herein in addition to risk inherent in this industry. While medical use cannabis and recreational use businesses are legal in numerous states, including our primary markets of New Jersey and New York, such businesses are not legal at the federal level and marijuana remains a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. Federal prosecutors have significant discretion and there can be no assurance that the federal prosecutors will not choose to strictly enforce the federal laws governing cannabis. Any change in the federal government’s enforcement position could potentially subject our borrowers to criminal prosecution and other sanctions, which would have a material adverse effect on their businesses. Cannabis-related loans present greater repayment and credit risk than similar loans to borrowers outside the cannabis industry. Cannabis-related businesses are generally not able to seek protection under federal bankruptcy law, which may limit a borrower’s ability to reorganize its obligations in the event of financial distress and increases the risk that the Bank will not recover the full amortized cost of a loan upon default. In addition, providing banking services to cannabis-related businesses subjects the Bank to enhanced obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act and related anti-money laundering regulations, including specialized customer due diligence and ongoing monitoring requirements, and the filing of suspicious activity reports specific to marijuana-related accounts. Compliance with these heightened requirements increases the Bank’s operational costs and regulatory risk. These factors, combined with the industry’s sensitivity to state regulatory and pricing volatility, may result in higher loss severities on cannabis-related loans as compared to the Bank’s other loan segments.

Construction lending is generally considered to involve a greater degree of risk compared to other forms of commercial lending due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of the general economic conditions on developers and builders. Moreover, a construction loan can involve additional risks because of the inherent difficulty in estimating both a property’s value at completion of the project and the estimated cost (including interest) of the project. The nature of these loans is such that they are generally difficult to evaluate and monitor. In addition, speculative construction loans to a builder are not necessarily pre-sold and thus pose a greater potential risk to the Bank than construction loans to individuals on their personal residence.

Commercial business lending, including lines of credit, is generally considered higher risk due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of general economic conditions on the business. Commercial business loans are primarily secured by inventories and other business assets. In many cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted commercial business loan will not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. The Bank has further segregated its commercial business portfolio into commercial business express loans that carry higher risk relative to other commercial business loans. The Bank had originated commercial business express loans to support small business owners coming out of the COVID crisis. The portfolio consists of a large number of loans with a majority of the loans carrying a balance of $250,000 or lower. These loans were generally originated to provide businesses with expedited access to capital. As a result, the loans may involve characteristics that differ materially from the Bank’s traditional commercial business lending activities and may carry a higher risk profile relative to other commercial business loans. In many cases, these loans are unsecured and were underwritten using processes tailored to address borrowers’ immediate liquidity needs, which may not have involved the same level of financial analysis and ability-to-repay assessment typically applied to the Bank’s broader commercial business loan portfolio. Accordingly, this portfolio is subject to heightened repayment risk and may be more vulnerable to adverse economic or borrower-specific developments than the Bank’s traditional commercial business lending portfolio.

Home equity lending entails certain risks such as interest rate risk and risk of non-repayment. The marketability of the underlying property may be adversely affected by higher interest rates, decreasing the collateral value securing the loan. Repayment risk can be affected by job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy of the borrower. Home equity line of credit lending entails securing an equity interest in the borrower’s home. In many cases, the Bank’s position in these loans is as a junior lien holder to another institution’s superior lien. This type of lending is often priced on an adjustable rate basis with the rate set at or above a predefined index. Adjustable-rate loans decrease the interest rate risk to the Bank that is associated with changes in interest rates but involve other risks, primarily because as interest rates rise, the payment by the borrower rises to the extent permitted by the terms of the loan, thereby increasing the potential for default.

‎

Other consumer loans generally have increased credit risk because of the type and nature of the collateral and, in certain cases, the absence of collateral. Consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than other lending. In addition, consumer lending collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy. In many cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan will not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan.

The following tables set forth the activity in the Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and the related portion of the allowance for credit losses that is allocated to each loan class, as of June 30, 2026 (in thousands):

The increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 is primarily due to additional reserves with the commercial business segment as a result of continued credit deterioration.

‎

Modifications

The following tables present the amortized cost basis of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 by loan category and type of concession granted and by payment status.

The Company monitors the performance of loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the effectiveness of the modification efforts.

For modified loans, a subsequent payment default occurs after management evaluates a borrower’s financial condition subsequent to modification and upon evaluating facts and circumstances determines the borrower is not adhering to the terms of the modification but no later than when a principal or interest payment is 90 days past due or the loan has been classified into non-accrual status during the reporting period.

There wereno loans modified during the preceding twelve months that subsequently defaulted.

The tables below set forth the amounts and types of non-accrual loans in the Bank’s loan portfolio at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become more than 90 days delinquent, or earlier if the collection of principal and/or interest become doubtful.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, non-accrual loans differed from total loans past due 90 days or more because loans that were previously more than 90 days past due are maintained on non-accrual status for a minimum of six months or until the borrower has demonstrated their ability to satisfy the terms of the loan.

(5) Includes Held for sale loan.

Had non-accrual loans been performing in accordance with their original terms, additional interest income recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2026, 2025, and 2024 would have been $4.0 million, $3.0 million, and $1.9 million, respectively. Interest income recognized on loans returned to accrual was $591,000, $1.1 million, and $1.1 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The Bank has not committed to lend additional funds to the borrowers whose loans have been placed on non-accrual status. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were $2.5 million and $0 loans which were more than ninety days past due and still accruing interest.

Criticized and Classified Assets

Company policies provide for a classification system for problem assets. Under this classification system, problem assets are classified as “substandard,” “doubtful,” or “loss.”

The Company’s internal credit risk grades are based on the definitions currently utilized by the banking regulatory agencies. The grades assigned and definitions are as follows, and loans graded excellent, above average, good and watch list (risk ratings 1-5) are treated as “pass” for grading purposes. The “criticized” risk rating (6) and the “classified” risk ratings (7-9) are detailed below:

6 – Special Mention-Loans currently performing but with potential weaknesses including adverse trends in borrower’s operations, credit quality, financial strength, or possible collateral deficiency.

7 – Substandard- Loans that are inadequately protected by current sound worth, paying capacity, and collateral support. Loans on “non-accrual” status. The loan needs special and corrective attention.

8 – Doubtful- Weaknesses in credit quality and collateral support make full collection improbable, but pending reasonable factors remain sufficient to defer the loss status.

9 – Loss- Continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. However, this does not preclude future attempts at partial recovery.

Note 8 – Stockholders’ Equity

On March 15, 2025, the Company completed a private placement of 52 shares of Series K 6.0% Noncumulative Perpetual Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series K Preferred Stock”), resulting in gross proceeds of $520,000.

On December 31, 2024, the Company completed a private placement of 497 shares of its Series K Preferred Stock, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $4,970,000.

On September 25, 2024, the Company closed a private placement of Series J Noncumulative Perpetual Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series J Preferred Stock”), resulting in gross proceeds of $1,360,000 for 136 shares.

On June 21, 2024, the Company closed a private placement of Series J Noncumulative Perpetual Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series J Preferred Stock”), resulting in gross proceeds of $670,000 for 67 shares.

On March 29, 2024, the Company closed a private placement of Series J Noncumulative Perpetual Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series J Preferred Stock”), resulting in gross proceeds of $2,690,000 for 269 shares.

Note 9 – Bank-Owned Life Insurance

BOLI involves life insurance purchased by the Bank on a chosen group of employees, and the Bank is owner and beneficiary of the policies. At June 30, 2026, the Bank had $81.2 million in BOLI. BOLI is recorded at its net realizable value.

Note 10 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets consist of goodwill in connection with acquisitions. The initial recording of goodwill requires subjective judgments concerning estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual tests for impairment or more often if events or circumstances indicate it may be impaired.

The Company conducts impairment analysis on goodwill at least annually or more often as conditions require. The Company reported a net loss in the first quarter of 2025 and observed a sustained decline in its stock price. Under ASC 350-20-35-30, management considered this a triggering event and performed an interim impairment assessment of goodwill as of May 31, 2025. The results of the analysis determined that there wasno impairment needed.

As a result of the net loss for the year ending December 31, 2025, the Company conducted a quantitative assessment of goodwill as of December 31, 2025, and determined that it was more likely than not that goodwill was not impaired. Accordingly, there wasno impairment at December 31, 2025. Refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates for additional details.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company continued to experience operating losses primarily attributable to continued credit-related matters. Management determined that the significant losses and related deterioration in operating performance and the continued trading of its stock at a substantial discount to book value constituted a triggering event. Accordingly, the Company performed an interim quantitative impairment assessment as of June 30, 2026.

Based on the results of the impairment analysis, management concluded that the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $5.3 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, reducing the carrying value of goodwill to zero.

The amount of goodwill totaled $0 at June 30, 2026, compared to $5.3 million at December 31, 2025.

Note 11 – Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Guidance on fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported with little or no market activity).

An asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets that the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (In thousands):

There wereno transfers of assets or liabilities into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

‎

‎There wereno liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Assets that the Company measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were as follows (In thousands):

The fair value of loans held for sale was based on prices received from active buyers. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company transferredone non-accrual construction loan with a fair value of $10.8 million to held for sale. Losses on these loans held for sale for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were $2.6 million.

‎Certain individually evaluated loans and OREO were adjusted to the fair value, less costs to sell, of the underlying collateral securing these loans resulting in losses. The losses on individually evaluated loans are not recorded directly as an adjustment to current earnings, but rather as a component in determining the allowance for credit losses. The loss on OREO is recorded as a component of non-interest income. Fair value was measured using appraised values of collateral and adjusted as necessary by management based on unobservable inputs for specific properties.

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded write-downs of $15,077,000 related to an OREO property. This loss was the result of an updated appraisal, changes in market conditions, and management’s evaluation of estimated selling costs.

Note 11 – Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued)

The following tables present additional quantitative information as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and for which the Company has utilized adjusted Level 3 inputs to determine fair value. (Dollars in thousands):

(1)Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not objectively determinable.

(2)Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Interest-Earning Time Deposits (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values.

Securities (Carried at Fair Value)

The fair value of securities is determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized security exchanges (Level 1) or, by matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

Loans Held for Sale (Carried at Lower of Cost or Fair Value)

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

Loans Receivable (Carried at Amortized Cost)

The fair values of loans, except for certain individually evaluated loans, are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the date of the Statement of Financial Condition that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.

Individually Evaluated Loans (Generally Carried at Fair Value)

Individually evaluated loans are those for which the Company has measured and recorded credit losses based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral, less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The fair value at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 consisted of the loan balances of $26.6 million, net of an allowance for credit losses of $5.1 million, and $26.8 million net of an allowance for credit losses of $6.6 million, respectively.

Other Real Estate Owned (Carried at Lower of Cost or Fair Value)

Other real estate owned is carried at fair value less estimated costs to sell which is determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties or based upon the expected proceeds from a pending sale. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

FHLB of New York Stock (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amount of restricted investment in bank stock approximates fair value and considers the limited marketability of such securities.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

Deposits (Carried at Cost)

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, savings and money market accounts1) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Note 11 – Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued)

Debt Including Subordinated Debentures (Carried at Cost)

Fair values of debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new long-term debt with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. Prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

Fair values for the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and unused lines of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account, the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of these commitments was deemed immaterial and is not presented in the accompanying table.

The carrying values and estimated fair values of financial instruments were as follows as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Note 12 – Subordinated debt

On August 29, 2024, the Company issued $40 million of fixed-to-floating subordinated debentures (the “New Notes”) in a private placement to certain qualified institutional investors. The New Notes have a 10-year term and bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.250% for the first five years of the term. The fixed interest rate is payable semiannually for the first five years and will be reset quarterly thereafter to the then-current three-month SOFR (defined below) plus 582 basis points. The Notes qualify as Tier 2 capital for the Company for regulatory purposes, when applicable, and the portion of the net proceeds that the Company contributed to the Bank qualify as Tier 1 capital for the Bank. The Notes constitute an unsecured and subordinated obligation of the Company and rank junior in right of payment to any senior indebtedness and obligations to general and secured creditors. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase $33.5 million of subordinated debt issued on July 30, 2018 (the “Old Notes”), with the remainder of the net proceeds down streamed to the Bank for general corporate purposes. Subordinated debt included associated deferred costs of $789,000 at June 30, 2026.

The Company also has $4.1 million of mandatory redeemable trust preferred securities. The interest rate on these floating rate junior subordinated debentures adjusts quarterly and had been equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.65%. They mature on June 17, 2034.

In accordance with the Adjustable Interest Rate Act (the “LIBOR Act”) and the regulation issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System implementing the LIBOR Act, the Company has selected the three-month Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) Term SOFR as the applicable successor rate for the trust preferred securities. The calculation of the amount of interest payable, based on the three-month CME Term SOFR, will also include the applicable tenor spread adjustment of 0.26161% per annum as specified in the LIBOR Act. At June 30, 2026, the interest rate for the trust preferred securities was 6.579%.

Note 13 – Lease Obligations

The Company leases 25 of its offices under various operating lease agreements. The leases have remaining terms ofone year toeight years. The leases contain provisions for the payment by the Company of its pro-rata share of real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and other variable expenses. The Company will allocate payments made under such leases between lease and non-lease components. Some leases contain renewal options and options to purchase the assets.

The Company has elected not to recognize a lease liability and a right of use asset for leases with a lease term of 12 or fewer months.

The following tables present certain information related to the Company’s leases (in thousands):

The weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was 4.37 years and 4.64 years, respectively. The weighted average discount rate for operating leases at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was 3.70 percent and 3.55 percent, respectively.
