Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Basis of presentation and consolidation

These unaudited consolidated financial statements of CFSB Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") include the accounts of Colonial Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Beach Street Securities Corporation, which was established for the purpose of buying, holding, and selling securities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in these unaudited consolidated financial statements, and all adjustments made are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Business

The Bank conducts operations from its three full-service banking offices and one limited-service banking office located in Quincy, Holbrook and Weymouth, Massachusetts, all within Norfolk County. The Bank considers its primary lending market area to be Norfolk and Plymouth Counties; however, the Bank occasionally makes loans secured by properties located outside of its primary lending market. The Bank's business consists primarily of taking deposits from the general public and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations, in one- to four-family residential real estate loans and, to a lesser extent, multi-family real estate loans, commercial real estate loans, second mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit, consumer loans and construction loans.

Reorganization and Offering

On January 12, 2022, the Bank reorganized from a federally chartered mutual savings bank into the two-tier mutual holding company structure. As part of the reorganization, a mutual holding company (the “MHC”) was formed as a federal corporation, into which all of the current voting rights of the members of the Bank were transferred. As part of the reorganization, the Bank converted to a federal stock savings bank. A stock holding company (the “Holding Company”) was established as a federal corporation and a majority-owned subsidiary of the MHC at all times so long as the MHC remains in existence. Concurrently with the reorganization, the Holding Company offered for sale 43% of its common stock in a stock offering and contributed 2% of its common stock to a charitable foundation established as a part of the reorganization. The remainder of the Holding Company common stock is held by the MHC. The Holding Company offered shares of common stock for sale on a priority basis to depositors of the Bank and the tax qualified employee plans of the Bank. The Company sold 2,804,306 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share for gross offering proceeds of $28.0 million.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP")

As part of the reorganization and stock offering, the Bank established the Colonial Federal Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan to provide eligible employees of the Bank the opportunity to own Company stock. The ESOP is a tax-qualified retirement plan for the benefit of Bank employees. The ESOP was funded through the purchase of 255,648 shares through a loan from the Company. The cost of shares issued to the ESOP, but not yet allocated to participants, is shown as a reduction of stockholders' equity. The Company records compensation expense

CFSB Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

for the ESOP equal to fair market value of shares when they are committed to be released from the suspense account to participants' accounts under the plan.

Stock-based Compensation

The fair value of restricted stock and stock options is determined on the date of grant and amortized as compensation expense with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital over the required service period. Reductions in compensation expense associated with forfeited options are estimated at the date of grant, and this estimated forfeiture rate is adjusted based on actual forfeiture experience. The Black Scholes option-pricing model is used to determine the fair value of the stock options granted.

Earnings Per Share

The following table presents the factors used in the earnings per share calculation:

	For the Three Months Ended						For the Nine Months Ended
(Dollars In thousands)	March 31, 2024			March 31, 2023			March 31, 2024			March 31, 2023
Net income (loss)	$	(40	)	$	355		$	(127	)	$	1,341
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		6,632,642			6,545,175			6,632,642		$	6,529,486
Less: Average unallocated ESOP shares		(234,316	)		(244,542	)		(236,886	)	$	(247,102	)
Less: Average non-vested restricted shares		(106,266	)		-			(109,433	)	$	-
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per common share		6,292,060			6,300,633			6,286,323			6,282,384
Dilutive effect of share-based compensation		-			88			-			29
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per common share		6,292,060			6,300,721			6,286,323			6,282,413
Earnings (loss) per common share
Basic	$	(0.01	)	$	0.06		$	(0.02	)	$	0.21
Diluted	$	(0.01	)	$	0.06		$	(0.02	)	$	0.21

Due to the net loss in 2024, all unvested restricted stock and options were considered anti-dilutive and excluded from the earnings per share calculation.

Use of estimates

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited consolidated balance sheet 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 in the near term are the allowance for credit losses and deferred income taxes.

Management believes that the allowance for credit losses was adequate as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023. While management uses current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for credit losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions or other factors. In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews the Bank's allowance for credit losses, and as a result of such reviews, management may have to adjust the allowance for credit losses. However, regulatory agencies are not directly involved in establishing

10

CFSB Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

the allowance for credit losses as the process is management's responsibility and any increase or decrease in the allowance is the responsibility of management.

Management believes that the deferred tax provision was adequate as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” management uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. If currently available information raises doubt as to the realization of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is established. A valuation allowance that results in additional income tax expense in the period in which it is recognized would negatively affect earnings. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Management exercises significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax assets and liabilities. These judgments require management to make projections of future taxable income. The judgments and estimates management makes in determining the deferred tax assets are inherently subjective and are reviewed on a regular basis as regulatory, economic, or business factors change. Management believes, based upon current facts, that it is more likely than not that there will be sufficient taxable income in future years to realize the federal and state portion of its deferred tax asset.

Recent accounting pronouncements

On July 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. (See Notes 3 and 4 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information).

On July 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended, which replaced the incurred loss methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and securities held to maturity. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for securities available for sale.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Securities Available for Sale

The Company measures expected credit losses on securities available for sale based upon the gain or loss position of the security. For securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position which the Company does not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost, the Company evaluates qualitative criteria to determine any expected loss. This includes among other items the financial health of, and specific prospects for the issuer, including whether the issuer is in compliance with the terms and covenants of the security. The Company also evaluates quantitative criteria including determining whether there has been an adverse change in expected future cash flows of the security. Securities available for sale which are guaranteed by government agencies do not currently have an allowance for credit loss, as the Company determined these securities are either backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and/or there is an unconditional commitment to make interest payments and to return the principal investment in full to investors when a debt security reaches maturity. In assessing the Company’s investments in government-sponsored and U.S. government guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and government-sponsored enterprise obligations, the contractual cash flows of these investments are guaranteed by the respective government-sponsored enterprise Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), or Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”). Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par value of the Company’s investments. The Company will evaluate its position no less than annually, however, certain items may cause the Company to change this methodology, which include legislative changes that remove a government-sponsored enterprise’s ability to draw funds from the U.S. government, or legislative changes to housing policy that reduce or eliminate the U.S. government’s implicit guarantee on such securities.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

guaranteed by government agencies totaled $500 at March 31, 2024 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. If the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, an allowance for credit losses would be recorded, with a related charge to earnings, limited by the amount of the fair value of the security less its amortized cost. If the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company recognizes the entire difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and its fair value in earnings. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. There were no securities available for sale not guaranteed by government agencies at March 31, 2024.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Securities Held to Maturity

The Company measures expected credit losses on securities held to maturity on a collective basis by security type and risk rating where available. The reserve for each pool is calculated based on a Probability of Default/Loss Given Default basis taking into consideration the expected life of each security. Held-to-maturity securities which are issued by the United States Treasury or are guaranteed by government agencies do not currently have an allowance for credit loss as the Company determined these securities are either backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and/or there is an unconditional commitment to make interest payments and to return the principal investment in full to investors when a debt security reaches maturity. In assessing the Company’s investments in government-sponsored and U.S. government guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and government-sponsored enterprise obligations, the contractual cash flows of these investments are guaranteed by the respective government-sponsored enterprise FHLMC, FNMA, or GNMA. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par value of the Company’s investments. The Company will evaluate its position no less than annually, however, certain items may cause the Company to change this methodology which include legislative changes that remove a government-sponsored enterprise’s ability to draw funds from the U.S. government, or legislative changes to housing policy that reduce or eliminate the U.S. government’s implicit guarantee on such securities. Any expected credit losses on held-to-maturity securities would be presented as an allowance for credit loss. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity securities totaled $863,000 at March 31, 2024 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

(1) The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on July 1, 2023 with a modified retrospective approach. Accordingly, at March 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses was determined in accordance with ASC 326, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.”

Residential loans are subject to a blanket lien securing Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances. See Note 7 of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Effect of New Financial Accounting Standards

On July 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended, which requires that the recognition of the allowance for credit losses be estimated using the CECL methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and securities held to maturity. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for securities available for sale. One such change is to require credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on securities available for sale that are determined to have impairment related to credit losses.

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning July 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326 while prior amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a net decrease to retained

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is an estimate of current expected losses within the Company's loan portfolio. The ACL, as reported on our consolidated balance sheet, is adjusted by a credit loss expense, which is reported in earnings, and reduced by loan charge-offs, net of recoveries. Accrued interest receivable on loans was $536,000 at March 31, 2024 and $506,000 at June 30, 2023, and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

The loan loss estimation process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique characteristics of loan portfolio segments, which are disaggregated by call code. For each of these pools, the Company collects historical loss data, dating back to March 2008, from a selection of peer banks and applies the annual historical loss rate over the estimated remaining average life of the loan portfolio segment. The use of peer banks' historical loss rates is due to the lack of loss history experienced by the Bank. The average remaining life of a loan portfolio segment is adjusted for estimated prepayment and curtailment expectations. The modeling for estimated prepayment speeds and curtailment rates is based on a combination of historical internal estimates and market estimates. The quantitative component of the ACL on loans is model-based and utilizes a forward-looking macroeconomic forecast. The Company uses a Weighted Average Remaining Maturity (“WARM”) method, incorporating historical loss data based on statistically derived economic variable loss drivers, to estimate expected credit losses. This process includes estimates which involve modeling loss projections attributable to existing loan balances, and considers historical experience, current conditions, and future expectations for segments of loans over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. The historical information is collected from a selection of peer banks and is derived from a combination of recessionary and non-recessionary performance periods for which data is available.

Residential one- to four-family: This segment consists of one- to four-family, owner-occupied, residential mortgage loans, virtually all of which are secured by properties in our market area. Generally, mortgages with loan-to-value ratios greater than 80% require private mortgage insurance, with limited exceptions. Underwriting approval is dependent on review of the borrower's ability to repay and credit history in accordance with the Company's policy. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing pricing, will have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.

Multi-family: This segment consists of real estate loans secured by properties of five or more rental units within our market area. We consider a number of factors in originating multi-family loans. We evaluate the qualifications, income level and financial condition of the borrower, including project-level and global cash flows, credit history, and management expertise, as well as the value and condition of the property securing the loan. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties can be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy due to increased vacancy rates or diminished cash flows, which in turn, would have an effect on the credit quality of this segment. Management obtains financial information annually and monitors the cash flows of these loans.

Second mortgages and home equity lines of credit: Second mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit are multi-purpose loans used to finance various home or personal needs for which a one- to four-family primary or secondary residence serves as collateral. We generally originate home equity lines of credit with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 80% (including the value of the underlying mortgage loan) and with terms of up to 20 years. We originate second mortgage loans on owner-occupied properties with fixed rates of interest. We generally originate these loans with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 80% (including the value of the underlying mortgage loan) and with terms of up to 15 years. Underwriting approval is dependent on review of the borrower's ability to repay and credit history in accordance with the Company's policy. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing pricing, will have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Commercial real estate: This segment consists of real estate loans generally secured by office buildings, small retail facilities, mixed-use facilities, and warehouses within our market area. We consider a number of factors in originating commercial real estate loans. We evaluate the qualifications, income level and financial condition of the borrower, including project-level and global cash flows, credit history, and management expertise, as well as the value and condition of the property securing the loan. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties can be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy due to diminished cash flows, which in turn, would have an effect on the credit quality of this segment. Management obtains financial information annually and monitors the cash flows of these loans.

Consumer and home improvement: We offer a variety of consumer loans to individuals, including home improvement loans and new and used automobile loans. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates, will have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.

WARM method

In estimating the component of the ACL for loans that share similar credit characteristics with other loans, such loans are segregated into loan segments. Loans are designated into loan segments based on call code, for ease of use of historical peer bank data. In determining the ACL, we derive an estimated credit loss assumption from a model that categorizes loans to their call codes. The model calculates an expected loss percentage for each loan call code segment by considering the related historical annual net charge-off rate for that segment, based on historical averages from a select group of peer banks dating back to March 2008, and the average remaining life of the loan segment, based on estimated prepayment and curtailment rates. The historical loss rates over the remaining life of the loan segment are adjusted for differences between the historical net charge-off rates and the expected conditions over the remaining lives of the loans related to: (1) national, regional and local economic and business conditions and developments that effect the collectability of the portfolio; (2) changes in the volume of past due loans and adversely classified or graded loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; (3) changes in the size and composition of the portfolio and the terms of loans; (4) changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses; (5) changes in the experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; (6) changes in the quality of the institution's review system; (7) the effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the institution's existing portfolio; and (8) the existence of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations. Such factors are used to adjust the historical net charge-off rates so that they reflect management expectations of future conditions based on a reasonable and supportable forecast. The Company uses regression analysis of historical peer data to determine which variables are best suited to be economic variables utilized when modeling lifetime net charge-off rates. This analysis also determines how net charge-off rates will react to forecasted levels of the economic variables.

For all WARM models, management has determined that eight quarters represents a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverts back to the historical net charge-off rates thereafter. Other internal and external indicators of economic forecasts are also considered by management when developing the forecast metrics.

Individually evaluated financial assets

For a loan that does not share risk characteristics with other loans, expected credit loss is measured on a net realizable value, that is, the difference between the discounted value of the expected future cash flows, based on the original effective interest rate, and the amortized cost basis of the loan. For these loans, we recognize expected credit loss equal to the amount by which the net realizable value of the loan is less than the amortized cost basis of the loan (which is net of previous charge-offs and deferred loan costs and fees), except when the loan is collateral dependent, that is, when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. In these cases, expected credit losses is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the loan and the fair value of the collateral. The fair value of the collateral is adjusted for the estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of a loan is dependent on the sale (rather than on the operation) of the collateral.

Allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, including unfunded loan commitments

The Company maintains a separate allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures, including unfunded loan commitments, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the balance sheet. Management estimates the amount of expected losses by calculating a commitment usage factor over the contractual period for exposures that are not unconditionally cancelable by the Company and applying the loss factors used in the ACL methodology to the results of the usage calculation to estimate the liability for credit losses related to unfunded commitments for each loan type. No estimate for credit losses is reported for off-balance sheet exposures that are unconditionally cancelable by the Company, such as undrawn amounts under such arrangements that may be drawn prior to the cancellation of the agreement. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as credit loss expense. Categories of off-balance sheet credit exposures correspond to the loan portfolio segment described above. Management evaluates the need for a reserve on unfunded loan commitments in a manner consistent with loans. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 on July 1, 2023, the Company recorded a transition adjustment related to the reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $23,000, which is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Individually Evaluated Loans

In connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company no longer provides information on impaired loans. A loan is considered individually evaluated when, based on current information and events, the loan is rated special mention or worse. At March 31, 2024, the Company had $1.4 million in individually evaluated residential one- to four-family loans. These consisted of four loans, to one borrower, rated substandard and individually evaluated due to the borrowers' inability to show sufficient rent receipts to support the debt coverage. These loans are current as the borrower continues to make timely payments.

The allocation of the allowance for credit losses on loans to each category is presented as of March 31, 2024.

Modified Loans

Loans are designated as modified when, as part of an agreement to modify the original contractual terms of the loan as a result of financial difficulties of the borrower, the Company grants the borrower a concession on the terms that would not otherwise be considered. Typically, such concessions may consist of a reduction in interest rate to a below market rate, taking into account the credit quality of the note, extension of additional credit based on receipt of adequate collateral, or a deferment or reduction of payments (principal or interest) which materially alters the Company’s position or significantly extends the note’s maturity date, such that the present value of cash flows to be received is materially less than those contractually established at the loan’s origination.

There were no loan modifications during the three or nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, no modified loans defaulted (defined as 30 days or more past due) within twelve months of restructuring. There were no charge-offs on modified loans during the three or nine months ended March 31, 2024.

Credit Quality Information

The Bank utilizes an internal loan rating system for residential real estate, commercial real estate and construction loans as follows:

Pass: Loans in this category are considered to pose low to average risk. Passed assets are generally protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of collateral pledged.

Special Mention: Loans in this category possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management’s close attention. If uncorrected, such deficiencies or weaknesses may expose the Bank to an increased risk of loss.

Substandard: Loans in this category are considered to be inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. These assets have a well-defined weakness and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans in this category 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, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss: Loans in this category are considered uncollectible and continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. Loans in this category are generally charged-off.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Bank formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate and construction loans. On a monthly basis, the Bank reviews the residential and other loan portfolios for credit quality primarily through the use of delinquency reports.

7.FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES AND OTHER BORROWINGS

Long-term advances or advances having a maturity greater than one year totaled $10.4 million at March 31, 2024 at a weighted average rate of 4.51%. There were no overnight advances or advances having a maturity of one-month at March 31, 2024. Overnight advances or advances having a one-month maturity totaled $3.7 million at June 30, 2023 at a weighted average rate of 5.25%. There were no long-term advances at June 30, 2023.

The Bank has an available line of credit in the amount of $2,354,000 with the FHLB of Boston at an interest rate that adjusts daily. Borrowings under the line are limited to 2% of the Bank’s total assets. At March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, there were no funds advanced under the line of credit. All borrowings from the FHLB are secured by a blanket lien on qualified collateral, defined principally as first mortgage loans on owner-occupied one- to four-family residential property.

The Bank has an available line of credit under the Federal Reserve Bank Borrower-in-Custody program offered through the Discount Window. Under the terms of the credit line at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Bank has pledged certain qualifying securities with a fair market value of $26,826,000 and $12,410,000, respectively. The line bears a variable interest rate equal to the federal funds rate plus 0.50%. At March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, there was no outstanding balance under this program.

8.MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

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 Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements. Under 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 regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Federal banking regulations require minimum capital requirements for community banking institutions as set forth in the following table. Additionally, community banking institutions must maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets to avoid being subject to limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonuses. At March 31, 2024, the Bank met the required capital conservation buffer.

As of March 31, 2024, the most recent notification from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency 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 capital ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since receiving this notification that management believes has changed the Bank’s categorization.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 are also presented in the table below.

	Actual					Minimum Capital Requirement					Minimum To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions
(Dollars in thousands)	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio

9.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Loan commitments

The Bank is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and advance funds on lines of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

At March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the following financial instruments were outstanding:

33

(In thousands)	March 31, 2024		June 30, 2023

Unadvanced funds on equity lines of credit		3,904		4,089
Unadvanced funds on commercial and other lines of credit		2,036		871

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for construction loans and lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis and the commitments are collateralized by real estate.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), on July 1, 2022, and began recognizing operating leases on its consolidated balance sheet by recording a Right-Of-Use ("ROU") asset, representing the Company's legal right to use the leased assets and a net lease liability, representing the Company's legal obligation to make these lease payments. The Company, by policy, does not include renewal options for leases as part of its ROU asset and lease liabilities unless they are deemed reasonably certain to exercise. At March 31, 2024, the Company had two non-cancelable operating lease agreements for branch locations, one of which contains a renewal option to extend lease payments for a period of five years. At March 31, 2024, the weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases was 8.13 years and the weighted average discount rate used in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was 3.56%.

Pursuant to the terms of these lease agreements in effect at March 31, 2024 pertaining to premises, future minimum rent commitments for the fiscal years ending 2024 through 2028 and thereafter are as follows:

	Years ending
(In thousands)	June 30,
2024	$	29
2025		117
2026		117
2027		119
2028		134
Thereafter		521
Total minimum lease payments	$	1,037
Less: Imputed interest		(139	)
Total lease liability	$	898

Total lease expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 amounted to $34,000 and $105,000, respectively. Total lease expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 amounted to $34,000 and $102,000, respectively.

Other contingencies

Various legal claims also arise from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of management, will not have a material effect on the Bank’s unaudited consolidated financial statements.

10.EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

As part of the stock offering, the Bank established the Colonial Federal Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") to provide eligible employees of the Bank the opportunity to own Company stock. The ESOP is a tax-qualified retirement plan for the benefit of Bank employees. Contributions are allocated to eligible participants on the basis of compensation, subject to federal limits. The number of shares committed to be released per year is 10,226.

The ESOP funded its purchase of 255,648 shares through a loan from the Company equal to 100% of the purchase price of the common stock. The ESOP trustee will repay the loan principally through the Bank's contributions to the ESOP over the loan term of 25 years. At March 31, 2024, the principal balance on the ESOP loan was $2.4 million.

	March 31, 2024
Shares held by the ESOP include the following:
Allocated		20,452
Committed to be allocated		2,556
Unallocated		232,640
Total		255,648

Defined benefit plan

The Bank participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (the "Pentegra DB Plan"), a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan. The Pentegra DB Plan operates as a multi-employer plan for accounting purposes and under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code.

Pension expense under the Pentegra DB Plan amounted to $188,000 and $578,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. Pension expense under the Pentegra DB Plan amounted to $188,000 and $513,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively.

Contributions of $675,000 were made to the Pentegra DB Plan during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

401(k) plan

The Bank has a savings plan which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan provides for voluntary contributions by participating employees ranging from 2% to 15% of their compensation, subject to certain limitations. The Bank matches 10% of the employee’s voluntary contributions up to 3% of their compensation. Employer 401(k) plan contribution expense amounted to $5,000 and $16,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. Employer 401(k) plan contribution expense amounted to $6,000 and $16,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively.

Supplemental compensation plan

The Bank has entered into a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) with certain officers, which provides for payments upon attaining the retirement age noted in the SERP. The present value of these future payments is provided over the remaining terms of the officers’ employment and at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the accrued liability amounted to $926,000 and $877,000, respectively. SERP expense amounted to $17,000 and $49,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. SERP expense amounted to $16,000 and $47,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. In connection with these SERPs, the Bank purchased life insurance policies, which had a cash surrender value of $6.1 million and $5.9 million at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

In addition, the Bank provides death benefits for officers and directors of the Bank under the terms of Split Dollar Agreements. The Bank has purchased life insurance contracts in connection with these agreements and the cash surrender value of the policies were $4.6 million at March 31, 2024 and $4.5 million at June 30, 2023. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, post-retirement expense related to these obligations amounted to $15,000 and $53,000, respectively, and $19,000 and $77,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively.

11.FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Determination of fair value

The Bank uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in some instances, quoted market prices may not be available. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques, including collateral value. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

Fair value hierarchy

The Bank groups its assets that are measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active exchange markets for identical assets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation is based on observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets.

Level 3 – Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets. Level 3 assets include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

At March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, securities available for sale were measured at Level 2 with a fair value of $119,000 and $146,000, respectively. All fair value measurements are obtained from a third-party pricing service and are not adjusted by management. Securities measured at fair value in Level 2 are based on pricing models that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, credit spreads and new issue data. There are no securities measured at fair value in Levels 1 or 3.

There are no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2024 or June 30, 2023.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis

The Bank may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets on a non-recurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. There are no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2024 or June 30, 2023.

12.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Under the CFSB Bancorp, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2023 Equity Plan"), the Company may grant options, restricted stock, restricted stock units or performance awards to its directors, officers, and employees. Both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options may be granted under the 2023 Equity Plan with 319,560 shares reserved for options. Any options forfeited because vesting requirements are not met or because they have expired will become available for re-issuance under the 2023 Equity Plan. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company's stock on the date of the grant and the maximum term of each option is 10 years. The total number of shares reserved for restricted stock is 127,824. Options and awards generally vest ratably over three to five years. The fair value of shares awarded is based on the market price at the date of grant.

Stock Options

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

•Volatility is based on peer group volatility because the Company does not have a sufficient trading history.

•Expected life represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding, taking into account the contractual term, and the vesting period.

•Expected dividend yield is based on the Company's history and expectations of dividend payouts.

•The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for a period equivalent to the expected life of the option.

There were no grants of options to purchase shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.

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

This discussion and analysis reflects our unaudited consolidated financial statements and other relevant statistical data and is intended to enhance your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. The information in this section has been derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements, which appear beginning on page F-1 of Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Overview

Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income and, to a lesser extent, non-interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, securities, and other interest-earning assets (primarily cash and cash equivalents), and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of deposits and, to a lesser extent, borrowings. Non-interest income consists primarily of earnings on bank-owned life insurance, service charges on deposit accounts and other income. Our results of operations also are affected by our provision for credit losses and non-interest expense. Non-interest expense consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing costs, advertising, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance premiums and other expenses. Our results of operations also are affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

•statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

•statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;

•statements regarding the 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 report.

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 areas, that are worse than expected, including potential recessionary conditions;

•changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and charge-offs and changes in estimates of or methodology for the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses;

•our ability to access cost-effective funding;

•changes in liquidity, including the size and composition of our deposit portfolio and the percentage of uninsured deposits in the portfolio;

•fluctuations in real estate values and both residential and commercial real estate market conditions;

•demand for loans and deposits in our market area;

•our ability to implement our business strategy;

•competition among depository and other financial institutions;

•inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins and yields, the fair value of financial instruments or our level of loan originations, or increase the level of defaults, losses, and prepayments on loans we have made and make;

•adverse changes in the securities or secondary mortgage markets;

40

•changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees, capital requirements and insurance premiums or changes in the fiscal or monetary policies of the U.S. Treasury or Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System;

•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 security systems or infrastructure, including cyber attacks;

•our ability to manage market risk, credit risk and operational risk;

•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;

•the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, terrorism or other geopolitical event;

•a potential government shutdown;

•conditions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic;

•our ability to retain key employees;

•our compensation expense associated with equity allocated or awarded to our employees; and

•changes in the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own.

Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated 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 policy discussed below to be a critical accounting policy. 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 changes that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

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 unaudited consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

On July 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires that the recognition of the allowance for credit losses be estimated using the CECL methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require that impairment related to credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities. For further discussion related to the implementation of CECL please refer to Notes 1, 3 and 4 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

There have been no additional material changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024. For additional information on our significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the audited consolidated financial statements within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023

Total Assets. Total assets increased $9.1 million, or 2.6%, to $358.1 million at March 31, 2024, from $349.0 million at June 30, 2023. The increase resulted primarily from increases in cash and cash equivalents of $14.8 million, or 214.5%, offset by a decrease in loans of $5.0 million, or 2.8%.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $14.8 million, or 214.5%, to $21.7 million at March 31, 2024, from $6.9 million at June 30, 2023, due to increases in deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLBB) advances used to implement a leverage strategy to increase liquidity and income.

Net Loans. Net loans decreased $5.0 million, or 2.8%, to $170.9 million at March 31, 2024, from $175.9 million at June 30, 2023. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in one- to four-family residential real estate loans of $3.7 million, or 2.6%, and a decrease in commercial loans of $1.5 million, or 7.2%, partially offset by an increase of $796,000, or 29.5%, in second mortgages and home equity lines of credit. Commercial loans decreased $1.5 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2024, due to principal paydowns on commercial lines of credit. The decrease in one- to four-family residential real estate loans was the result of borrower principal payments exceeding new originations, which decreased due to the higher interest rate environment.

Securities Available for Sale. Securities available for sale decreased $27,000, or 18.5%, to $119,000 at March 31, 2024, from $146,000 at June 30, 2023 due to prepayments and the change in unrealized losses.

Securities Held to Maturity. Securities held to maturity decreased $1.4 million, or 0.9%, to $146.5 million at March 31, 2024, from $147.9 million at June 30, 2023. The decrease was due primarily to maturing securities and the provision for credit losses of $178,000 at March 31, 2024.

Total Liabilities. Total liabilities increased $9.1 million, or 3.3%, to $282.2 million at March 31, 2024, from $273.1 million at June 30, 2023. The increase was the result of increases in deposits of $2.2 million, or 0.8% and in FHLB borrowings of $6.7 million, or 181.1%.

Deposits. Deposits increased $2.2 million, or 0.8%, to $265.6 million at March 31, 2024, from $263.4 million at June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increases of $16.3 million, or 14.7%, in certificates of deposit, offset by decreases in NOW and demand accounts of $1.9 million, or 3.1%, savings accounts of $8.1 million, or 12.6%, and money market accounts of $4.1 million, or 15.2%. The change in composition and the increase in certificates of deposit is a result of the Bank offering certificate promotions as customers seek accounts with higher interest rates.

Borrowings. Borrowings, consisting entirely of FHLBB advances, increased $6.7 million, or 181.1% to $10.4 million at March 31, 2024 from to $3.7 million at June 30, 2023. The increase was due to the implementation of a leverage strategy to increase liquidity and income.

Stockholders' Equity. Total stockholders' equity decreased $27,000 to $75.9 million at March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the net loss of $127,000 and the effect of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, net of taxes, of $223,000, offset by the change in unearned ESOP compensation of $77,000 and stock-based compensation of $269,000.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

General. We recorded a net loss of $40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net income of $355,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $395,000, or 111.3%. Net interest income decreased $516,000, or 23.9%, non-interest income increased $19,000, or 12.8%, non-interest expense increased by $7,000, or 0.4%, tax expense decreased $89,000 or 189.4%, and the provision for credit losses decreased $20,000.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $316,000, or 11.7%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was attributable to an increase of $77,000, or 4.5%, in interest on loans, an increase of $116,000, or 12.4%, in interest on securities and an increase of $123,000, or 232.1%, in interest on short-term investments. Interest income on loans increased due to an increase in the average yield of 27 basis points to 4.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from 3.79% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, offset by the decrease in the average balance of $4.4 million, to $175.1 million at March 31, 2024, from $179.5 million at March 31, 2023. Interest income on securities increased due to an increase in the average yield on securities of 35 basis points to 2.89% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from 2.54% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, offset by the decrease in the average balance of $1.5 million to $149.4 million at March 31, 2024, from $150.9 million at March 31, 2023 Interest income on short-term investments increased due to an increase in the average balance of $9.6 million to $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and a 70 basis point increase in the average yield to 4.71% at March 31, 2024, from 4.01%

42

for the three months ended March 31, 2023.The increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets resulted from the higher interest rate environment.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $832,000, or 155.2%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $536,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was due to an increase in the average rate on certificates of deposit of 201 basis points to 3.85% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from 1.84% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, due to the higher interest rate environment and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit of $14.5 million to $121.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $106.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Interest expense on FHLB advances increased due to an increase in the average balance of borrowings of $13.9 million with an average rate of 4.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to an average balance in borrowings of $244,000, with an average rate of 4.92% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by decreases in the average balance of savings deposits of $10.5 million, or 15.4%, to $57.6 million and decreases in the average balance of money market deposits of $11.0 million, or 31.9%, to $23.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $34.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The change in composition and the increase in certificates of deposits was a result of the Bank offering certificate promotions as customers seek accounts with higher interest rates.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $516,000, or 23.9%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was due to an increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities of 133 basis points. The net interest rate spread decreased 99 basis points to 1.35% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from 2.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The net interest margin decreased 63 basis points to 1.96% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 2.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in the net interest rate spread was a result of the increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities exceeding the increase in the average yield earned on interest-bearing assets.

Provision for Credit Losses. A reversal of credit losses of $20,000 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to improvements in forecasted economic conditions. The $15,000 provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet exposures was primarily due to an increase of $1.2 million in unfunded commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2024. No provision for loan losses was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The reversal in 2024 and the absence of a provision in the prior period reflected continued strong asset quality. The allowance for credit losses for loans was $1.6 million, or 0.91% of total loans, at March 31, 2024, compared to $1.7 million, or 0.98% of total loans, at March 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses was $1.7 million, or 0.98%, of total loans at June 30, 2023. At March 31, 2024, the Company had $1.4 million in residential one- to four-family loans rated substandard and individually evaluated due to the borrowers' inability to show sufficient rent receipts to support the debt coverage. These loans are current as the borrower continues to make timely payments. There were no loans categorized as special mention, doubtful or loss and no non-performing loans. At March 31, 2023 we had four loans totaling $1.4 million designated special mention. We had no loans categorized substandard, doubtful or loss and no non-performing loans. We had $1,000 in charge-offs related to overdrawn deposit accounts and no recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.

Provision for Income Taxes. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $42,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a provision for income taxes of $47,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 The decrease of $89,000 in the provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was due to the decrease in income before income taxes.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

General. We reported a net loss of $127,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net income of $1.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 109.5%. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income of $1.8 million, or 25.9%, and a $197,000 increase in non-interest expenses, partially offset by a reversal of provision for credit losses of $290,000.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $566,000, or 7.1%, to $8.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, from $8.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was attributable to an increase in the average yield on loans of 25 basis points to 3.98% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, from 3.73% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, an increase in the average yield on securities of 29 basis points to 2.76% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, from 2.47% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the average yield on short-term investments of 166 basis points to 4.66% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, from 3.00% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets resulted from the higher interest rate environment. The increase in interest and dividend income was offset by a decrease in the average balance of loans of $1.9 million to $176.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, from $177.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease in the average balance of securities of $1.0 million to $149.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, from $150.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, and a decrease in the average balance of short-term investments of $5.7 million to $7.7 for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 from $13.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $2.3 million, or 209.4%, to $3.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, from $1.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was due to an increase in the average rate on certificates of deposit of 219 basis points to 3.47% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, from 1.28% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023, and an increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit of $15.2 million to $116.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, from $100.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit was the result of the Bank offering certificate promotions and the customers desire to invest in higher yielding deposit accounts.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $1.8 million, or 25.9%, to $5.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, from $6.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was due to an increase in the average yield on interest bearing liabilities of 132 basis points to 1.93% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, from 0.61% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. Our net interest rate spread decreased 102 basis points to 1.52% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, from 2.54% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. Our net interest margin decreased 64 basis points to 2.07% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 2.71% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023.

Provision for Credit Losses. A reversal of $290,000 to the provision for credit losses was recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2024. The $3,000 provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet exposures was primarily due to an increase of $372,000 in unfunded commitments for the nine months ended March 31, 2024. There was no provision for loan losses recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. The recovery to the provision for credit losses in 2024 and the absence of a provision in the prior period reflected the improved economic environment, lower loan balances and continued strong asset quality. We had $1,000 in charge-offs related to overdrawn deposit accounts and no recoveries for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.

The increase was due to a $157,000 increase in salaries and employee benefit expense due to normal employee annual merit salary and benefit increases and stock-based compensation expenses, a $36,000 increase in deposit insurance, a $25,000 increase in data processing costs, and an increase of $25,000 in other expenses.

Provision for Income Taxes.

The decrease in the provision for income taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 was due to the decrease in income before income taxes, partially offset by an increase in the deferred tax valuation allowance.

Management of Market Risk

General. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans and investment securities, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage the impact of changes in market interest rates on net interest income and capital. We have an Asset/Liability Committee that is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity, and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors. The Asset/Liability Committee establishes and monitors the amount, maturities, pricing and mix of assets and funding sources with the objective of managing assets and funding sources to provide results that are consistent with liquidity, growth, risk limits and profitability goals.

As part of our ongoing asset-liability management, we use the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk:

•market our non-interest-bearing demand, money market, savings, demand accounts and certificates of deposit;

•diversify our loan mix;

•invest in short- to medium-term repricing and/or maturing securities whenever the market allows;

•engage in Asset/Liability leverage strategies when appropriate; in which we use additional borrowings to add assets to increase profitability and liquidity; and

•maintain a strong capital position.

We do not engage in hedging activities, such as engaging in futures, options, or interest rate swap transactions, or investing in high-risk mortgage derivatives, such as collateralized mortgage obligation residual interests, real estate mortgage investment conduit residual interests or stripped mortgage-backed securities.

We consider two types of simulations impacted by changes in interest rates, which are (1) net interest income and (2) changes in the economic value of equity.

Net Interest Income Analysis. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through our net interest income simulation model, the results of which are provided to us by an independent third party. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. We estimate what our net interest income would be for a one-year period based on current interest rates. We then calculate what the net interest income would be for the same period under different interest rate assumptions. The following table shows the estimated impact on net interest income for the one-year period beginning March 31, 2024 resulting from potential changes in interest rates, expressed in basis points. These estimates require certain assumptions to be made, including loan and mortgage-related investment prepayment speeds, reinvestment rates, and deposit maturities and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain. As a result, no simulation model can precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income.

Although the net interest income table below provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such estimates are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.

Economic Value of Equity. We monitor interest rate risk through the use of a simulation model that estimates the amounts by which the fair value of our assets and liabilities (our economic value of equity or “EVE”) would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. The quarterly reports developed in the simulation model assist us in identifying, measuring, monitoring, and controlling interest rate risk to ensure compliance within our policy guidelines.

The table below sets forth, as of March 31, 2024, the calculation of the estimated changes in our EVE that would result from the designated immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve.

As of March 31, 2024
			Estimated Increase (Decrease) in EVE						EVE as a Percentage of Present Value of Assets(3)
Change in Interest Rates (basis points)(1)	Estimated EVE(2) (In thousands)		Amount (In thousands)			Percent			EVE Ratio(4)			Decrease (basis points)

(1)Assumes an immediate uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.

(2)EVE is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts of Colonial Federal Savings Bank, which had a book value of $63.4 million at March 31, 2024.

(3)Present value of assets represents the discounted present value of incoming cash flows on interest-earning assets.

(4)EVE Ratio represents EVE divided by the present value of assets.

The table above indicates that at March 31, 2024, in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 20.4% decrease in EVE, and in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 15.6% increase in EVE.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurement. Modeling changes in EVE require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the EVE table presented assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the EVE table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on EVE and will differ from actual results.

EVE calculations also may not reflect the fair values of financial instruments. For example, decreases in market interest rates can increase the fair values of our loans, deposits, and borrowings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities and proceeds from maturities and calls of securities and borrowings from the FHLBB and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. At March 31, 2024, we had $10.4 million of outstanding advances from the FHLBB. At March 31, 2024, we had the ability to borrow an additional $49.8 million in FHLBB advances. Additionally, at March 31, 2024, we had $2.4 million and $17.9 million under available lines of credit with the FHLBB and Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, respectively, none of which was drawn at March 31, 2024.

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $96,000 and $1.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of investment securities, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from maturing securities and pay downs on securities, was $5.8 million and $(10.7) million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $8.9 million and $(17.1) million for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Changes in net cash related to financing activities were primarily related to changes in deposit balances and FHLBB advances for the nine months ended March 31, 2024.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments based on our current strategy to increase loans with an increase in core deposits as supplemented by the use of FHLBB advances as needed.

Capital Resources. At March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements. See Note 8 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements of this quarterly report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. The financial instruments include commitments to originate loans, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit, which involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.

At March 31, 2024, we had $3.9 million of unadvanced funds under home equity lines of credit and $2.0 million of unadvanced funds under commercial and other lines of credit. See Note 9 in the Notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information.

Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of the impact of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1 in the Notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements and note 1 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023. As an emerging growth company, we have elected to use the extended transition period to delay the adoption of new or re-issued accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to non-public companies.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The unaudited financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates, generally, have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than does inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer and Chief Operating Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer and Chief Operating Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations are operating in an effective manner.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
