Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1:    Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Inclusion of Unaudited Information

The financial information included herein as of March 31, 2025, and for the interim three and six month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is unaudited. However, in management’s opinion, the information reflects all normal, recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation. The results shown for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025.

Nature of Operations

Mercer Bancorp, Inc. (“Mercer Bancorp” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation incorporated on March 7, 2023, to serve as the bank holding company for Mercer Savings Bank (“Mercer Savings” or the “Bank”) in connection with the Bank’s conversion from the mutual form of organization to the stock form of organization (the “Conversion”). The Conversion was completed on July 26, 2023. In connection with the Conversion, Mercer Bancorp acquired 100% ownership of Mercer Savings and the Company offered and sold 972,970 shares of its common stock at $10.00 per share, for gross offering proceeds of $9,729,700. The Company also contributed 50,000 shares of common stock and $100,000 in cash to Mercer Savings Charitable Foundation, Inc.

Mercer Savings is an Ohio chartered stock bank engaged primarily in the business of providing a variety of deposit and lending services to individual customers in western Ohio. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential and commercial mortgage, agricultural, commercial, home equity lines of credit and installment loans, and indirect automobile loans. Its operations are conducted through its four office locations in Celina, Ft. Recovery and Greenville, Ohio. The Bank faces competition from other financial institutions and is subject to the regulation of certain federal and state banking agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, include the accounts of the Company and the Bank, its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, valuation of mortgage servicing rights and deferred tax assets and fair values of financial instruments.

Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage and indirect auto loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to noninterest income. Gains and losses on loan sales are recorded in noninterest income, and direct loan origination costs and fees are deferred at origination of the loan and are recognized in noninterest income upon sale of the loan.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding principal balances, adjusted for unearned income, charge-offs, the allowance for credit losses and any unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.

For loans amortized at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, as well as premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized as a level yield adjustment over the respective term of the loan. For all loan portfolio segments except residential and consumer loans, the Company promptly charges-off loans, or portions thereof, when available information confirms that specific loans are uncollectible based on information that includes, but is not limited to, (1) the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower, (2) declining collateral values, and/or (3) legal action, including bankruptcy, that impairs the borrower’s ability to adequately meet its obligations. For individually evaluated loans that are considered to be solely collateral dependent, a partial charge-off is recorded when a loss has been confirmed by an updated appraisal or other appropriate valuation of the collateral.

The Company charges-off loans, or portions thereof, when the Company reasonably determines the amount of the loss. The Bank adheres to delinquency thresholds established by applicable regulatory guidance to determine the charge-off timeframe for these loans. Loans at these delinquency thresholds for which the Company can clearly document that the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection, such that collection will occur regardless of delinquency status, need not be charged off.

For all classes, all interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these 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. Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the financial position of the borrower indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the timely collection of interest or principal. The Company requires a period of satisfactory performance of not less than nine months before returning a nonaccrual loan to accrual status.

When cash payments are received on individually evaluated loans, the Company records the payment as interest income unless collection of the remaining recorded principal amount is doubtful, at which time payments are used to reduce the principal balance of the loan. Loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties that have been modified recognize interest income on an accrual basis at the renegotiated rate if the loan is in compliance with the modified terms, no principal reduction has been granted and the loan has demonstrated the ability to perform in accordance with the renegotiated terms for a period of at least nine months.

Allowance for Credit Losses

​

Available-for-sale securities

​

For available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income.

​

For securities available-for-sale that do not meet the above criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost and adverse conditions related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost. Any impairment that has not been

recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax. The Company elected the practical expedient of zero loss estimates for securities issued by U.S. government entities and agencies. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. Management concluded that no allowance for credit losses was required on available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

​

Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities totaled $84,265 and $151,047 at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, and is included within accrued interest receivable on the balance sheet. This amount is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses. Available-for-sale debt securities are typically classified as nonaccrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about the further collectability of principal or interest. When available-for-sale debt securities are placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed.

​

Held-to-Maturity Securities

​

The Company measures expected credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities, which are comprised of U.S. government sponsored enterprise mortgage-back securities and residential mortgage-backed securities. The Company’s residential mortgage-backed security holdings are issued by U.S. government entities and agencies and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. Management concluded that no allowance for credit losses was required on held-to-maturity securities at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

​

Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity debt securities totaled $395 and $464 at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, and is included within accrued interest receivable on the balance sheet. This amount is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses. Held-to-maturity debt securities are typically classified as nonaccrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about the further collectability of principal or interest. When held-to-maturity debt securities are placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed.

​

Loans

​

The allowance for credit losses (ACL) is a valuation allowance that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the collectibility of a loan balance is doubtful. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the ACL is based on the assessment of the expected credit losses on loans over the expected life of the loan. The ACL is increased by provision expense and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries of amounts previously charged off and expected to be charged off. The Company made the policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on loans from the estimate of credit losses.

​

Management estimates the ACL balance using relevant available information from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience of a defined peer group, by affiliate, paired with economic forecasts provide the basis for the quantitatively modeled estimates of expected credit losses. The Company adjusts its quantitative model, as necessary, to reflect conditions not already considered by the quantitative model. These adjustments are commonly known as the qualitative factors.

​

The ACL is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company uses the average historical loss method to measure the quantitative portion of the ACL over the forecast and reversion periods.

​

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not also included in the collective evaluation. When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. The company made the policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on loans from the estimate of credit losses.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

​

Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a loan modified to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty will be executed with an individual borrower or the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company.

​

Accrued interest receivable on loans totaled $583,599 and $489,780 at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, and is included within accrued interest receivable on the balance sheet. This amount is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses.

​

​

Unfunded Commitments

​

The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The ACL on unfunded commitments is adjusted through the provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life consistent with the related ACL methodology.

In the course of working with borrowers, the Bank may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with the borrower’s current financial status, and the modification of the loan may include the transfer of assets from the borrower to satisfy the debt, a modification of loan terms or a combination of the two. If such efforts by the Bank do not result in a satisfactory arrangement, the loan is referred to legal counsel, at which time foreclosure proceedings are initiated. At any time prior to a sale of the property at foreclosure, the Bank may terminate foreclosure proceedings if the borrower is able to work out a satisfactory payment plan.

It is the Bank’s policy that any loans modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty on nonaccrual status prior to being modified remain on nonaccrual status until nine months of satisfactory borrower performance, at which time management would consider its return to accrual status. If a loan was accruing at the time of restructuring, the Bank reviews the loan to determine if it is appropriate to continue the accrual of interest on the restructured loan.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

The cost of shares issued to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), but not yet allocated to participants, is shown as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. Compensation expense is based on the average fair value of shares as they are committed to be released to participant accounts.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are shown as a reduction in shareholders’ equity and are excluded from weighted-average common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings per share calculations until they are committed to be released.

The Company had no dilutive securities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for certain revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified ASC 606. ASC 606 provides that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an

amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The majority of the Company’s revenue, including net interest income, fees related to loans and loan commitments, net securities gains (losses), gain on sale of loans and income from bank-owned life insurance are not included within the scope of ASC 606. For the revenue streams in the scope of ASC 606, service charges on deposits and electronic banking fees, there are no significant judgments related to the amount and timing of revenue recognition. All of the Company’s in scope revenue from contracts with customers is recognized within other noninterest income.

Deposit Services. The Bank generates revenues through fees charged to depositors related to deposit account maintenance fees, overdrafts, ATM fees, wire transfers and additional miscellaneous services provided at the request of the depositor.

For deposit-related services, revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied, which is, generally, at a point in time.

​

Stock Compensation Plans

​

The Company accounts for stock compensation in accordance with accounting guidance set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires that compensation costs relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. The cost is measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity instruments issued. The stock compensation accounting guidance covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans.

The stock compensation accounting guidance requires that compensation costs for all stock awards be calculated and recognized over the directors or employees’ service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. A Black-Scholes model is used to estimate the fair value of stock options. An option is considered to be forfeited, if the grant stock option were not exercised prior to vesting. At the date of grant, the Bank estimates the forfeiture rate as part of its initial determination of the fair-value of options granted and then adjusts forfeitures as they occur.

Maturity information for held-to-maturity securities is not presented since expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The carrying value of securities pledged as collateral, to secure public deposits and for other purposes, was approximately $895,000 and $493,000 at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.

There were no sales of securities during the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments, comprised of 21 securities at March 31, 2025 and 21 securities at September 30, 2024, was approximately $8,464,320 and $7,826,000 or 86% and 70%, respectively, of the fair value of the Company’s total investment portfolio. These declines primarily resulted from changes in market interest rates.

Unrealized losses on these securities have not been recognized because the issuers’ bonds are of high credit quality, values have only been impacted by changes in interest rates since the securities were purchased, and the Company has the intent and ability to hold the securities for the foreseeable future. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach the maturity date. Because the decline in market value was attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and because the Company typically does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company has not established an allowance for credit losses for these securities at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

Mortgage-backed GSEs

Mercer Bancorp, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

​

The Company has adopted a standard loan grading system for all loans, as follows:

Pass. Loans of sufficient quality, which generally are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the asset or underlying collateral.

Special Mention. Loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans which are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Usually, this classification includes all 90 days or more, non-accrual, and past due loans.

Doubtful. Loans which have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss. Loans considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset without the establishment of a specific reserve is not warranted.

Risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are described as follows:

Residential Real Estate

These loans include first liens and junior liens on 1-4 family residential real estate (both owner and non-owner occupied). The main risks for these loans are changes in the value of the collateral and stability of the local economic environment and its impact on the borrowers’ employment. Management specifically considers unemployment and changes in real estate values in the Bank’s market area.

Multi-family Real Estate

These loans include loans on residential real estate secured by property with five or more units. The main risks are changes in the value of the collateral, ability of borrowers to collect rents, vacancy and changes in the tenants’ employment status. Management specifically considers unemployment and changes in real estate values in the Bank’s market area.

Agriculture Real Estate

These loans are primarily loans on farm ground and include loans secured by residential properties located on farm ground, but agricultural activities may not be the primary occupation of the borrowers. The main risks are changes in the value of the collateral and changes in the economy or borrowers’ business operations. Management specifically considers unemployment and changes in real estate values in the Bank’s market area.

Commercial Real Estate

These loans are generally secured by owner-occupied commercial real estate including warehouses and offices. The main risks are changes in the value of the collateral and ability of borrowers to successfully conduct their business operations. Management specifically considers unemployment and changes in real estate values in the Bank’s market area.

Construction and Land Real Estate

These loans include construction loans for 1-4 family residential and commercial properties (both owner and non-owner occupied) and first liens on land. The main risks for construction loans include uncertainties in estimating costs of construction and in estimating the market value of the completed project. The main risks for land loans are changes in the value of the collateral and stability of the local economic environment. Management specifically considers unemployment and changes in real estate values in the Bank’s market area.

HELOC

These loans are generally secured by owner-occupied 1-4 family residences. The main risks for these loans are changes in the value of the collateral and stability of the local economic environment and its impact on the borrowers’ employment. Management specifically considers unemployment and changes in real estate values in the Bank’s market area.

Commercial and Industrial

The commercial and industrial portfolio includes loans to commercial customers for use in financing working capital needs, equipment purchases and expansions. The loans in this category are repaid primarily from the cash flow of a borrower’s principal business operation. Credit risk in these loans is driven by creditworthiness of the borrower and the economic conditions that impact the cash flow stability from business operations.

Consumer Loans

These loans include vehicle loans, share loans and unsecured loans. The main risks for these loans are the depreciation of the collateral values (vehicles) and the financial condition of the borrowers. Major employment changes are specifically considered by management.

Information regarding the credit quality indicators most closely monitored for other than residential real estate loans by class as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, follows:

Note 4:    Regulatory Matters

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under U.S. GAAP reporting requirements and regulatory capital standards. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Furthermore, the Bank’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in these financial statements.

Quantitative measures established by regulatory reporting standards to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), common equity Tier I capital (as defined) to total risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of March 31, 2025, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of March 31, 2025 the most recent notification from the regulators categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based capital, common equity Tier I risk-based capital and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table.

There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

The Bank’s actual and required capital amounts and ratios are as follows (table amounts in thousands):

Note 5:    Disclosures about Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received to sell 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 at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

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

Level 2Significant other 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 3Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Recurring Measurements

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024:

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There are no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended September 30, 2024.

Available-for-sale Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or independent asset pricing services and pricing models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections and cash flows. Such securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. The Bank had no Level 3 securities.

Limitations: Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Fair value estimates may not be realizable in an immediate settlement of the instrument. In some instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments, in which case fair values may be based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques, or based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristic of the financial instruments, or other factors. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimate of future cash flows. Subsequent changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Note 6:    Commitments and Credit Risks

Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since a portion of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate.

Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates. Since a portion of the line may expire without being drawn upon, the total unused lines do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate.

Management uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Note 7:   Earnings Per Share

​

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Unallocated common shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) are not included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic earnings per common share until they are committed to be released.

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

The Company has 20,456 stock options grants and 8,180 restricted share awards that have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31,2025, because they were anti-dilutive. The Company had no dilutive or potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2024.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 8: Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

In connection with the Conversion in July 2023, the Company established a leveraged ESOP for eligible employees of the Bank. The ESOP trust purchased 81,838 shares of Company common stock at the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share financed by the 15-year term loan with the Company. The interest rate of the loan is 8.50% and the maturity date is December 31, 2037. The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Bank’s discretionary contributions to the ESOP. When the loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to the participants based on relative compensation. The Bank recognizes expense based on the average fair value of the shares to be allocated to the ESOP participants.

Activity in the ESOP for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

Note 9: Share Based Compensation Arrangements

In February 2025, the Company’s shareholders approved the Mercer Bancorp, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”). The 2025 Plan authorized the issuance or delivery to participants of up to 143,215 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the grants of restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. Of this number, the maximum number of shares of Company common stock that may be issued under the 2025 Plan pursuant to the exercise of stock options is 102,297 shares and the maximum number of shares of Company common stock that may be issued as restricted stock awards or restricted stock units is 40,918. Shares subject to award under the 2025 Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares.

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

General

Management’s discussion and analysis is intended to enhance your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. The financial information in this section is derived from the accompanying financial statements. You should read the financial information in this section in conjunction with the business and financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2024 as filed with the SEC on January 14, 2025.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “target” and words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

●statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;
●statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;
●statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and
●estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

●general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market area, which are worse than expected, including the effects of inflation and monetary and fiscal policy;
●conditions affecting our local agricultural industry, such as adverse weather conditions and the impact of government regulations, including changes in price supports, tariffs on agricultural products, trade agreements, subsidies and environmental regulations, any of which may affect the ability of our agricultural customers to repay their loans and lead to reduced consumer spending, lower economic growth, and decreased demand for our products;
●changes in the interest rate environment that affect our margins and yields, the fair value of our financial instruments, our level of loan originations, or the level of defaults, losses and prepayments within our loan portfolio;
●adverse changes in the securities markets;
●changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses;
●our ability to manage market risk, credit risk and operational risk;

28

Table of Contents

●our ability to access cost-effective funding;
●changes in liquidity, including the amount and composition of our deposits, including the percentage of uninsured deposits in our portfolio;
●fluctuations in real estate values and in the conditions of the residential real estate, commercial real estate, and agricultural real estate markets;
●demand for loans and deposits in our market area;
●our ability to implement and change our business strategies;
●competition among depository and other financial institutions;
●changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees, capital requirements and insurance premiums;
●changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios;
●technological changes that may be more difficult or expensive than expected;
●the inability of third-party providers to perform as expected;
●a failure or breach of our operational or information security systems or infrastructure, including cyberattacks;
●our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;
●changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
●changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
●our ability to retain key employees; and
●changes in the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own.

Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

​

The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions that we use are based on historical experience and various other factors and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

​

29

Table of Contents

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

​

The following represent our critical accounting policies:

​

Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses is the estimated amount considered necessary to cover inherent, but unconfirmed, credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for credit losses which is charged against income. In determining the allowance for credit losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this policy as one of our most critical accounting policies.

​

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the allowance for credit losses on loans and unfunded commitments. Consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change.

​

The allowance for credit losses is evaluated following the accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). ASC 326 sets forth the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology that reflects expected credit losses over the lives of the credit instruments and requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate credit losses. ASC 326 requires an estimate of all expected credit losses for loans based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

​

Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowances we have established which could result in a material negative effect on our financial results.

​

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024

​

Total Assets. Total assets were $180.9 million at March 31, 2025, a decrease of $843,000, or 0.5%, from September 30, 2024. The decrease was due primarily to decreases in securities available for sale of $1.3 million, loans held for sale of $1.3 million and loans of $613,000, which were partially offset by increases in cash and cash equivalents of $812,000 and premises and equipment of $989,000.

​

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $812,000, or 13.8%, to $6.7 million at March 31, 2025 from $5.9 million at September 30, 2024. The increase was due primarily to funds received from decreases in securities available for sale and loans during the six months ended March 31, 2025.

​

Investment Securities. Investment securities available for sale and held to maturity decreased $1.3 million to $9.9 million at March 31, 2025 compared to September 30, 2024. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, securities purchases of $277,000 were more than offset by calls, maturities and repayments of $1.3 million, while the fair value of available for sale securities decreased by $248,000.

​

The yield on investment securities was 3.03% for the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 2.26% for the six months ended March 31, 2024, reflecting the increases in the overall interest rate environment.

​

Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale decreased by $1.1 million, or 10.0% to $9.5 million at March 31, 2025 compared to September 30, 2024. During fiscal 2023, management established an indirect automobile lending program and began to originate auto loans both for sale and for investment. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, auto loans originated for sale totaled $157,000, which were offset by principal repayments in the loans held for sale portfolio of $1.2 million. No sales of auto loans occurred during the six months ended March 31, 2025. Mortgage

30

Table of Contents

loans originated for sale totaling $508,000 were sold during the six months ended March 31, 2025, resulting in gains on sale of $12,000.

​

Net Loans. Net loans decreased by $613,000, or 0.4%, to $144.5 million at March 31, 2025 from $145.1 million at September 30, 2024. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, residential real estate loans decreased $1.1 million, or 1.6%, to $72.1 million at March 31, 2025, from $73.3 million at September 30, 2024, construction and land loans decreased $1.9 million, or 31.7%, to $4.1 million at March 31, 2025, from $73.3 million at September 30, 2024 and consumer loans decreased $551,000, or 10.0%, to $5.0 million at March 31, 2025 compared to September 30, 2024, while agricultural real estate loans increased $1.3 million, or 2.5%, to a total of $54.9 million at March 31, 2025.

​

The Bank operates amid strong competition for one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and agricultural mortgage loans in our market area.

​

The Bank’s strategy includes growing the loan portfolio, continuing to focus primarily on owner-occupied one-to-four family residential real estate loans, agricultural real estate loans and automobile loans.

​

Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment increased $989,000, or 36.2%, to $3.7 million during the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $2.7 million at September 30, 2024. The increase was due primarily to costs incurred in connection with construction of a new branch office located in Berne, Indiana, which is expected to be completed by August 2025.

​

Deposits. Deposits increased by $4.2 million, or 3.1%, to $138.8 million at March 31, 2025 from $134.6 million at September 30, 2024. Core deposits increased $207,000, or 0.2%, to $91.9 million at March 31, 2025 from $91.7 million at September 30, 2024. Certificates of deposit increased $4.0 million, or 9.4%, to $46.9 million at March 31, 2025 from $42.9 million at September 30, 2024. The increase in certificates of deposit was due primarily to an increase in brokered deposits of $5 million partially offset by a $1 million decrease in customer certificates of deposit.

​

During the six months ended March 31, 2025, management continued its strategy of pursuing growth in demand accounts and other lower cost core deposits, in part by enhancing products and services offered and increased marketing. Management intends to continue its efforts to increase core deposits, with an emphasis on growth in consumer and business demand deposits.

​

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaled $17.0 million at March 31, 2025, a decrease of $5.0 million, or 22.7%, from September 30, 2024. Advances were repaid primarily from proceeds from deposit growth. Advances totaling $16.0 million are scheduled to mature within one year from March 31, 2025 and the remaining $1.0 million is scheduled to mature within two years from March 31, 2025.

​

Shareholders’ Equity. Shareholders’ equity decreased $56,000, or 0.2%, to $23.9 million at March 31, 2025, compared to September 30, 2024. The decrease resulted primarily from a repurchase of shares totaling $240,000 and a $196,000 decrease to equity through the accumulated other comprehensive loss, which were partially offset by net income of $312,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2025.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume. There were no out-of-period items or adjustments required to be excluded from the table below.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024

​

General. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $35,000, a decrease of $94,000, or 72.6%, compared to $129,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a $356,000 increase in noninterest expenses, a $28,000 increase in the provision for credit losses and an $11,000 decrease in noninterest income, which were partially offset by a $273,000 increase in net interest income and a $28,000 decrease in income taxes.

​

Interest Income. Interest income increased $353,000, or 18.0%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was attributable to a $336,000, or 18.5%, increase in interest on loans receivable, an $11,000, or 14.9%, increase in interest on investment securities and a $6,000, or 9.2%, increase in interest on interest-bearing deposits and other assets.

​

The average balance of loans during the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $27.9 million, or 21.8%, from the balance for the three months ended March 31, 2024, while the average yield on loans decreased by 15 basis points to 5.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 5.68% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in the average yield on loans reflects the recent decreases in the overall interest rate environment, as the Federal Reserve Board acted to decrease the fed funds rate three times, a total of 100 basis points, beginning in September 2024. These decreases in interest rates in the economy have caused interest rates on the Bank’s adjustable-rate loans to adjust downward.

​

The average yield on investment securities increased by 73 basis points to 3.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from 2.39% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, while the average balance of investment securities decreased $1.5 million to $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $12.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

​

Table of Contents

Interest income on other interest-earning deposits, comprised primarily of certificates of deposit in other financial institutions, overnight deposits and stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank, increased $6,000, or 8.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, due primarily to an increase in the average balance of $240,000, or 4.2%, and an increase in the average yield of 22 basis points to 4.80% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from 4.58% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

​

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $81,000, or 14.0%, to $659,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $578,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Interest expense on deposits decreased $26,000, or 5.9%, due primarily to a decrease of 12 basis points in the average cost of deposits to 1.38% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from 1.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was partially offset by an increase of $2.2 million, or 1.9%, in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $119.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $117.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

​

Interest expense on borrowings increased $107,000, or 76.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was due to a $9.3 million increase in the average balance outstanding, to $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, partially offset by an 11 basis point decrease in the weighted-average rate, to 4.76% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from 4.87% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

​

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $272,000, or 19.7%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase reflected an increase in the net interest margin to 3.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from 3.78% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The net interest margin was impacted by a series of interest rate increases in the economy in the past several years, although in 2024 there were three decreases in rates, totaling 100 basis points, by the Federal Reserve Board.

​

Provision for Credit Losses. Based on an analysis of the loan portfolio and asset quality, management recorded a provision for credit losses of $28,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, an increase from no provision for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses was $934,000 at March 31, 2025 and $963,000 at September 30, 2024 and represented 0.64% and 0.65% of total loans at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses included consideration of the levels of nonperforming loans, delinquent loans and net charge-offs of loans in both periods.

​

Total nonperforming loans were $749,000 at March 31, 2025, compared to $386,000 at September 30, 2024. Classified loans totaled $749,000 at March 31, 2025, compared to $482,000 at September 30, 2024, and total loans past due greater than 30 days were $3.6 million and $1.3 million at those respective dates. As a percentage of nonperforming loans, the allowance for credit losses was 104.0% at March 31, 2025 compared to 249.7% at September 30, 2024.

​

The allowance for credit losses reflects the estimate management believes to be appropriate to cover incurred probable losses which were inherent in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2025 and 2024. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in the determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, such estimates and assumptions could be proven incorrect in the future, and the actual amount of future provisions may exceed the amount of past provisions, and the increase in future provisions that may be required may adversely impact the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for credit losses and may require an increase in the provision for credit losses or the recognition of loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management.

​

Noninterest Income. Non-interest income totaled $142,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $11,000, or 7.1%, from $153,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $9,000, or 25.4%, in late charges and fees on loans and a $9,000, or 11.1%, decrease in service fees on deposits were partially offset by a $7,000 gain on sale of loans.

​

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $356,000, or 26.1%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was due

36

Table of Contents

primarily to a $221,000, or 149.7%, increase in data processing, a $71,000, or 64.7%, increase in professional services and a $66,000, or 60.9%, increase in other expense, which were partially offset by a $15,000, or 2.5%, decrease salaries and employee benefits and a $25,000, or 56.6%, decrease in advertising.

​

The increase in data processing was due primarily to a $223,000 conversion charge incurred during the period. The reason for the deconversion cost was that we converted to a new core data processor in February 2025 in order to offer improved products and services to aid growth. In the prior fiscal year we received a rebate in the amount of $160,000 to help offset the cost of the conversion. The increase in professional services was due primarily to additional legal and related expenses in connection with the establishment and approval of the stock compensation plans, along with an increase in audit and related expenses. The increase in other expense was due primarily to a $26,000 penalty incurred on the early redemption of brokered deposits, which was done in order to reduce the effective cost of deposits. The decrease in advertising was due primarily due to changing marketing firms.

​

Noninterest expense can be expected to increase because of compensation costs related to implementation of our stock-based benefit plan, which was approved by our stockholders in February 2025.

​

Income Taxes. Income taxes decreased by $28,000, or 78.2%, to $8,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $36,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in the income tax provision was due primarily to a $120,000, or 72.4% decrease in pretax income. The effective tax rates were 17.3% and 21.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

​

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

​

General. Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2025, was $312,000, an increase of $9,000, or 3.0%, compared to $303,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $485,000 increase in net interest income, which was partially offset by a $28,000 increase in the provision for credit losses, a $21,000 decrease in noninterest income, a $430,000 increase in noninterest expenses and a $3,000 decrease in income taxes.

​

Interest Income. Interest income increased $809,000, or 21.1%, to $4.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025 from the six months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was attributable to a $791,000, or 22.4%, increase in interest on loans receivable and a $30,000, or 21.1%, increase in interest on investment securities, which were partially offset by a $12,000, or 7.3%, decrease in interest on interest-earning deposits and other assets.

​

The average balance of loans increased by $29.5 million, or 23.3%, during the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the six months ended March 31, 2024, while the average yield on loans decreased by four basis points to 5.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 5.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in the average yield on loans reflects the recent decreases in the overall interest rate environment, as the Federal Reserve Board acted to decrease the fed funds rate three times, a total of 100 basis points, in 2024. These decreases in interest rates in the economy have caused interest rates on the Bank’s adjustable-rate loans to adjust downward.

​

The average yield on investment securities increased by 77 basis points to 3.03% for the six months ended March 31, 2025, from 2.26% for the six months ended March 31, 2024, while the average balance of investment securities decreased $1.2 million to $11.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, from $12.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024.

​

Interest income on other interest-earning deposits, comprised primarily of certificates of deposit in other financial institutions, overnight deposits and stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank, decreased $12,000, or 7.5%, for the six months ended March 31, 2025, due primarily to a decrease in the average balance of $1.1 million, or 16.3%, which was partially offset by an increase in the average yield of 49 basis points to 5.14% for the six months ended March 31, 2025, from 4.65% for the six months ended March 31, 2024.

​

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $324,000, or 30.2%, to $1.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, from $1.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024. Interest expense on deposits

Table of Contents

increased $107,000, or 13.9%, due primarily to an increase of 10 basis points in the average cost of deposits to 1.45% for the six months ended March 31, 2025, from 1.35% for the six months ended March 31, 2024, and an increase of $6.8 million, or 6.0%, in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $120.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, from $113.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024.

​

Interest expense on borrowings increased $217,000, or 70.9%, for the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the six months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was due to a $9.1 million increase in the average balance outstanding, to $21.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, from $12.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024, partially offset by a seven basis point decrease in the weighted-average rate, to 4.85% for the six months ended March 31, 2025, from 4.92% for the six months ended March 31, 2024.

​

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $485,000, or 17.6%, to $3.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $2.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The net interest margin was 3.74% for the six months ended March 31, 2025, and 3.78% for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The net interest margin was impacted by three decreases in rates by the Federal Reserve Board in 2024 totaling 100 basis points.

​

Provision for Credit Losses. Based on an analysis of the loan portfolio and asset quality, management recorded a provision for credit losses of $28,000 for the six-month period ended March 31, 2025, an increase from no provision for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses was $934,000 at March 31, 2025 and $963,000 at September 30, 2024 and represented 0.64% and 0.65% of total loans at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses included consideration of the levels of nonperforming loans, delinquent loans and net charge-offs of loans in both periods.

​

Total nonperforming loans were $749,000 at March 31, 2025, compared to $386,000 at September 30, 2024. Classified loans totaled $749,000 at March 31, 2025, compared to $482,000 at September 30, 2024, and total loans past due greater than 30 days were $3.6 million and $1.3 million at those respective dates. During the conversion, some customers were not receiving their statements in a timely manor. $2.3 million of loans past due greater than 30 days were at 31 days. The send dates for the statements have been adjusted and delinquencies are declining. As a percentage of nonperforming loans, the allowance for credit losses was 104.0% at March 31, 2025 compared to 249.7% at September 30, 2024.

​

The allowance for credit losses reflects the estimate management believes to be appropriate to cover incurred probable losses which were inherent in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2025 and 2024. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in the determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, such estimates and assumptions could be proven incorrect in the future, and the actual amount of future provisions may exceed the amount of past provisions, and the increase in future provisions that may be required may adversely impact the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for credit losses and may require an increase in the provision for credit losses or the recognition of loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management.

​

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income totaled $294,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $21,000, or 6.6%, from $315,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2024. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $20,000, or 24.5%, in late charges and fees on loans and a $13,000, or 7.8%, decrease in service fees on deposits were partially offset by a $12,000 gain on sale of loans.

​

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $430,000, or 16.0%, to $3.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $2.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was due primarily to a $272,000, or 98.7%, increase in data processing, a $65,000, or 29.8%, in professional services and a $57,000, or 24.7%, increase in other expense, which were partially offset by a $24,000, or 35.6%, decrease in advertising.

​

The increase in data processing was due primarily to the $223,000 conversion charge incurred during the period. The increase in professional services was due primarily to additional legal and related expenses in connection with the establishment and approval of the stock compensation plans, along with an increase in audit and related

expenses. The increase in other expense was due primarily to a $26,000 penalty incurred on the early redemption of brokered deposits, which was done in order to reduce the effective cost of deposits. The decrease in advertising was due primarily due to changing marketing firms.

​

Noninterest expense can be expected to increase because of compensation costs related to implementation of our stock-based benefit plan, which was approved by our stockholders in February 2025.

​

Income Taxes. Income taxes decreased by $3,000, or 3.9%, to $77,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $80,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2024. The effective tax rates were 19.7% and 20.9% for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

​

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

​

Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

​

We had previously identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024, which we believe were remediated as of March 31, 2025:

​

●Allowance for credit losses on loans: We did not design and implement controls over the preparation and review of the allowance for credit losses, including the completeness and accuracy of qualitative factors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our identification and review of this material weakness ultimately did not lead to any needed changes in the amount of our allowance for credit losses on loans.
●Accrued expenses review: We did not design and implement effective controls over the preparation and review of the accrued expenses. This resulted in improper recognition of accruals and inaccurate accrual balances, which were remediated upon identification as part of the preparation of our audited financial statements.

​

Management has implemented satisfactory remediation procedures to address these material weaknesses, including hiring a new controller in the fourth quarter of 2024. Management will continue to diligently monitor the Company’s processes and procedures to ensure they operate at an acceptable level of assurance.
