CONVERSION VALUATION APPRAISAL REPORT

Prepared for:

VWF Bancorp, Inc.

Van Wert, Ohio

As Of:

February 18, 2022

INTRODUCTION

Keller & Company, Inc. is an independent appraisal firm for financial institutions and has prepared this Conversion Valuation Appraisal Report (“Report”) to provide the pro forma market value of the to-be-issued common stock of VWF Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a Maryland corporation, which will be formed as part of the conversion to own all of the to-be-issued shares of common stock of Van Wert Federal Savings Bank (“Van Wert Federal” or the “Bank”), Van Wert, Ohio. The shares of common stock are to be issued in connection with the Bank’s Application for Approval of Conversion from a federal-chartered mutual savings bank to a federal-chartered stock savings bank.

The Application is being filed with the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Such Application for Conversion has been reviewed by us, including the Prospectus and related documents, and discussed with the Bank’s management and the Bank’s conversion counsel, Luse Gorman , PC, Washington, D.C.

This conversion appraisal was prepared based on the guidelines used by the OCC entitled “Guidelines for Appraisal Reports for the Valuation of Savings Institutions Converting from the Mutual to Stock Form of Organization,” in accordance with application requirements and the Revised Guidelines for Appraisal Reports and represents a full appraisal report. The Report provides detailed exhibits based on the Revised Guidelines and a discussion on each of the factors that need to be considered. Our valuation will be updated in accordance with the Revised Guidelines and will consider any changes in market conditions for thrift institutions.

The pro forma market value is defined as the price at which the stock of the Corporation after conversion would change hands between a typical willing buyer and a typical willing seller when the former is not under any compulsion to buy and the latter is not under any compulsion to sell, and with both parties having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts in an arm’s-length transaction. The appraisal assumes the Bank is a going concern and that the shares issued by the Corporation in the conversion are sold in noncontrol blocks.

Introduction (cont.)

As part of our appraisal procedure, we have reviewed the audited financial statements for the five fiscal years ended June 30, 2017 through 2021, and unaudited financial statements for the six months ended December 31, 2021, and discussed them with Van Wert Federal’s management and with Van Wert Federal’s current independent auditors, Wipfli, LLP, Eau Claire, Wisconsin. We have also discussed and reviewed with management other financial matters and have reviewed internal projections. We have reviewed the Corporation's preliminary Form AC and discussed it with management and with the Bank’s conversion counsel.

To gain insight into the Bank’s local market condition, we have traveled Van Wert Federal’s market area. We have studied the economic and demographic characteristics of the primary market area, and analyzed the Bank’s primary market area relative to Ohio and the United States. We have also examined the competitive market within which Van Wert Federal operates, giving consideration to the area's numerous financial institution offices, mortgage banking offices, and credit union offices and other key market area characteristics, both positive and negative.

We have given consideration to the market conditions for securities in general and for publicly traded thrift stocks in particular. We have examined the performance of selected publicly traded thrift institutions and compared the performance of Van Wert Federal to those selected institutions.

Our valuation is not intended to represent and must not be interpreted to be a recommendation of any kind as to the desirability of purchasing the to-be-outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation. Giving consideration to the fact that this appraisal is based on numerous factors that can change over time, we can provide no assurance that any person who purchases the stock of the Corporation in this mutual-to-stock conversion will subsequently be able to sell such shares at prices similar to the pro forma market value of the Corporation as determined in this conversion appraisal.

I. DESCRIPTION OF VAN WERT FEDERAL

GENERAL

Van Wert Federal was organized in 1889 as a state-chartered mutual savings and loan association and then changed its charter to a federally chartered mutual savings bank with the name Van Wert Federal Savings Bank.

Van Wert Federal conducts its business from its main office located at 976 South Shannon Street in Van Wert, Ohio. Van Wert Federal has no branch offices. The Bank’s primary retail market area is focused on Van Wert City, while the Bank’s lending market includes all of Van Wert County.

Van Wert Federal’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") in the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"). The Bank is also subject to certain reserve requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank (the "FRB"). Van Wert Federal is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (the "FHLB") of Cincinnati and is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. As of December 31, 2021, Van Wert Federal had assets of $138,553,014, deposits of $112,274,392 and equity of $25,252,424.

Van Wert Federal has been principally engaged in the business of serving the financial needs of the public in its local communities and throughout its primary market area as a community-oriented institution. Van Wert Federal has been most active in the origination of one- to four-family loans. At December 31, 2021, 79.1 percent of the Bank’s gross loans consisted of residential real estate loans on one- to four-family dwellings, compared to a slightly larger 79.6 percent at June 30, 2020, with the primary sources of funds being retail deposits from residents in its local communities. The Bank had no FHLB advances. The Bank is also an originator of commercial real estate loans, home equity loans, consumer loans, construction loans and multi-family loans. Consumer loans were minimal and include loans on deposit accounts and other secured and unsecured personal loans.

General (cont.)

The Bank had cash and investments, including mortgage-backed securities, of $53.3 million, or 38.5 percent of its assets, excluding FHLB stock which totaled $1,012,900 or 0.7 percent of assets at December 31, 2021. Deposits, principal payments and equity have been the primary sources of funds for the Bank’s lending and investment activities.

The total amount of stock to be sold in the stock conversion will be $21.8 million or 2,180,000 shares at $10 per share with another 20,000 shares to be issued to the newly formed foundation for a combined 2,200,000 shares or $22.0 million based on the midpoint of the appraised value of $22.0 million. The net conversion proceeds will be $20.3 million, reflecting conversion expenses of $1.50 million. The actual cash proceeds to the Bank of $10.15 million will represent 50.0 percent of the net conversion proceeds at the midpoint. The ESOP will represent 8.00 percent of the gross shares issued or 2,180,000 shares at $10 per shares sold, representing $21,800,000. The Bank’s net proceeds will be used to fund new loans and to invest in securities following their initial deployment to short term investments along with the elimination of the Bank’s defined benefit plan. The Bank may also use the proceeds to expand services, expand operations, diversify into other businesses, or for any other purposes authorized by law. The Corporation will use its proceeds to fund the ESOP or to purchase interest-bearing deposits and short- and intermediate-term government or federal agency securities.

The Bank has experienced a modest deposit increase of $8.2 over the past four fiscal years, with deposits increasing a total 8.8 percent from June 30, 2017, to June 30, 2021, or an average of 2.2 percent per year. From June 30, 2021, to December 31, 2021, deposits increased by $11.4 million or 11.2 percent, compared to an increase of 7.6 percent in fiscal 2021.

The Bank experienced an increase in its loan portfolio during the previous four years of 2017 to 2020, while focusing on maintaining its favorable asset quality position, on controlling its net interest margin and on maintaining a reasonable equity to assets ratio. In 2021, the Bank continued its loan growth and experienced larger loan growth than in 2020 or 2019. Equity to assets decreased from 20.33 percent of assets at June 30, 2017, to 19.96 percent at June 30, 2021, and decreased further to 18.23 percent at December 31, 2021.

General (cont.)

The primary lending strategy of Van Wert Federal has been to focus on the origination of adjustable-rate and fixed-rate one-to four-family mortgage loans, the origination of commercial real estate and agricultural loans, the origination of construction loans, the origination of consumer loans, the origination of home equity loans, and the origination of commercial business loans.

The Bank’s share of one- to four-family mortgage loans has decreased slightly from 79.6 percent of gross loans at June 30, 2020, to 79.1 percent as of December 31, 2021. Commercial real estate and agricultural loans increased from 12.7 percent of loans to 13.4 percent of loans, and construction loans increased from 12.7 percent of loans to 5.8 percent from June 30, 2020, to December 31, 2021. All types of real estate loans as a group increased slightly from 98.4 percent of gross loans at June 30, 2020, to 98.8 percent at December 31, 2021. The increase in real estate loans was offset by the Bank’s decrease in consumer loans. The Bank’s share of consumer loans witnessed a decrease in their share of loans from 1.1 percent at June 30, 2020, to 0.8 percent at December 31, 2021.

Management's internal strategy has also included continued emphasis on maintaining an adequate and appropriate level of allowance for loan losses relative to loans and nonperforming assets in recognition of the more stringent requirements within the industry to establish and maintain a higher level of general valuation allowances. At June 30, 2020, Van Wert Federal had $223,000 in its loan loss allowance or 0.32 percent of gross loans, and 500.28 percent of nonperforming loans with the loan loss allowance remaining at $223,000 at December 31, 2021, representing a lesser 0.29 percent of gross loans and a lesser 138.20 percent of nonperforming loans because of the Bank’s rise in nonperforming loans.

5

General (cont.)

The basis of earnings for the Bank has been interest income from loans and investments with the net interest margin being the key determinant of net earnings followed by BOLI income with a continued emphasis on strengthening noninterest income and controlling noninterest expenses. With a primary dependence on net interest margin for earnings, current management will focus on striving to strengthen the Bank’s net interest margin without undertaking excessive credit risk combined with controlling the Bank’s interest risk position and increasing other components of noninterest income, controlling nonperforming assets, monitoring noninterest expenses and controlling interest expense.

The financial position of Van Wert Federal at December 31, 2021, and at year end June 30, 2017 through 2021, is shown in Exhibits 1 and 2, and the earnings performance of Van Wert Federal for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, and for the years ended June 30, 2017 through 2021, is shown in Exhibits 3 and 4.

It has been Van Wert Federal’s objective to increase its loans and deposits, and maintain its equity from June 30, 2020, through December 31, 2021.

For the six months ended December 31, 2021, loans increased by $3.0 million or 4.0 percent to $77.4 million.

Van Wert Federal has obtained funds through deposits with no use of FHLB advances.

Van Wert Federal’s ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities decreased modestly from 107.34 percent at June 30, 2020 to 105.87 percent at December 31, 2021. The Bank’s decrease in its ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities is primarily the result of the Bank’s decrease in its equity ratio.

As discussed previously, the Bank’s ratio of noninterest expenses to average assets decreased from 2.17 percent in fiscal year 2020 to 2.05 percent in fiscal year 2021 and then increased to 2.47 percent for the six months ended December 31, 2021, annualized. Another key noninterest expense ratio reflecting efficiency of operation is the ratio of noninterest expenses to noninterest income plus net interest income, referred to as the "efficiency ratio." The industry norm is 61.0 percent with a lower ratio indicating greater efficiency. Historically, the Bank has been characterized by lower efficiency, reflected in its higher efficiency ratio, which decreased from 107.34 percent in 2020 to 99.95 percent in 2021 and then increased to 109.66 percent for the six months ended December 31, 2021, annualized, due partially to one time expenses.

Earnings performance can be affected by an institution's asset quality position. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans and the ratio of nonperforming assets to assets are two fundamental indicators of asset quality. Van Wert Federal experienced an increase in its ratios of nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets to both loans and total assets from 2020 to 2021, and then a further increase in nonperforming loans to loans but a decrease in nonperforming assets in the six months ended December 31, 2021. Nonperforming assets consist of real estate owned, loans delinquent 90 days or more but still accruing, and nonaccruing loans. The Bank’s ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.12 percent at December 31, 2021, increasing from 0.04 percent at June 30, 2020 and the Bank’s ratio of nonperforming loans to loans increased from 0.06 percent at June 30, 2020 to 0.20 percent at December 31, 2021.

Income and Expense (cont.)

Two other indicators of asset quality are the Bank’s ratios of allowance for loan losses to total loans and also to nonperforming loans. The Bank’s allowance for loan losses was 0.32 percent of loans at June 30, 2020 and a lower 0.29 percent at December 31, 2021. Van Wert Federal’s allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 500.28 percent at June 30, 2020 and 138.20 percent at December 31, 2021.

Exhibit 9 provides the changes in net interest income due to rate and volume changes for the fiscal year 2021 and the six months ended December 31, 2021. In fiscal year 2021, net interest income decreased $210,000, due to a decrease in interest income of $478,000, reduced by a $268,000 decrease in interest expense. The decrease in interest income was due to a decrease due to rate of $546,000, reduced by an increase due to volume of $68,000. The decrease in interest expense was due to a $215,000 decrease due to rate, accented by a $53,000 decrease due to volume.

For the six months ended December 31, 2021, net interest income increased $91,000, due to an increase in interest income of $19,000, increased by a $72,000 decrease in interest expense. The increase in interest income was due to a increase due to volume of $150,000, reduced by an decrease due to rate of $131,000. The decrease in interest expense was due to a $61,000 decrease due to rate, accented by an $11,000 decrease due to volume.

YIELDS AND COSTS

The overview of yield and cost trends for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2021 and the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, can be seen in Exhibit 10, which offers a summary of yields on interest-earning assets and costs of interest-bearing liabilities.

Van Wert Federal’s weighted average yield on its loan portfolio decreased 29 basis points from fiscal year 2020 to 2021, from 4.78 percent to 3.89 percent, and then decreased 33 basis points to 3.56 percent for the six months ended December 31, 2021. The yield on investment securities decreased 95 basis points from fiscal year 2020 to 2021, from 2.09 percent to 1.14 percent, and then increased 1 basis point to 1.15 percent for the six months ended December 31, 2021. The yield on other interest-earning assets decreased 188 basis points from fiscal year 2020 to 2021, from 3.64 percent to 1.76 percent, and then increased 35 basis points to 2.11 percent for the six months ended December 31, 2021. The combined weighted average yield on all interest-earning assets decreased 55 basis points to 3.18 percent from fiscal year 2020 to 2021 and then decreased 29 basis points to 2.89 percent for the six months ended December 31, 2021, and was a similar 2.94 percent at December 31, 2021.

Van Wert Federal’s weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 35 basis points to 0.46 percent from fiscal year 2020 to 2021, which was less than the Bank’s 55 basis point decrease in yield, resulting in a decrease in the Bank’s net interest rate spread of 19 basis points from 2.94 percent to 2.73 percent from 2020 to 2021. The Bank’s net interest margin decreased from 2.98 percent in fiscal year 2020 to 2.72 percent in fiscal year 2021, representing a decrease of 26 basis points. In the six months ended December 31, 2021, the Bank’s net interest rate spread decreased 19 basis points to 2.54 percent, and the Bank’s net interest margin decreased 16 basis points to 2.56 percent. The Bank’s net interest rate spread was a modestly higher 2.65 percent at December 31, 2021.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Van Wert Federal monitors its interest rate sensitivity position and has focused on maintaining a moderate level of interest rate risk exposure. Van Wert Federal has adjustable-rate loans to reduce its interest rate risk exposure. Van Wert Federal recognizes the thrift industry’s historically higher interest rate risk exposure, which caused a negative impact on earnings and net portfolio value of equity in the past as a result of significant fluctuations in interest rates, specifically rising rates in the past. Such exposure was due to the disparate rate of maturity and/or repricing of assets relative to liabilities commonly referred to as an institution’s “gap.” The larger an institution’s gap, the greater the risk (interest rate risk) of earnings loss due to a decrease in net interest margin and a decrease in net portfolio value of equity or portfolio loss. In response to the potential impact of interest rate volatility and negative earnings impact, many institutions have taken steps to minimize their gap position. This frequently results in a decline in the institution’s net interest margin and overall earnings performance.

The Bank measures its interest rate risk through the use of its economic value of equity (“EVE”) of the expected cash flows from interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and any off-balance sheets contracts. The EVE for the Bank is calculated on a quarterly basis by an outside firm, showing the Bank’s EVE to asset ratio and the change in the EVE ratio for the Bank under rising and falling interest rates. Such changes in EVE ratio under changing rates are reflective of the Bank’s interest rate risk exposure.

There are numerous factors which have a measurable influence on interest rate sensitivity in addition to changing interest rates. Such key factors to consider when analyzing interest rate

sensitivity include the loan payoff schedule, accelerated principal payments, investment maturities, deposit maturities and deposit withdrawals.

Exhibit 11 provides the Bank’s EVE levels and ratios as of December 31, 2021, based on the outside firm’s calculations and the changes in the Bank’s EVE levels under rising and declining interest rates. The focus of this exposure table is a 200 basis point change in interest rates and a 100 basis point change in interest rates down.

14

Interest Rate Sensitivity (cont.)

The Bank’s percentage change in its EVE at December 31, 2021, based on a rise in interest rates of 100 basis points was a 0.23 percent increase, representing a dollar increase in equity value of $67,000. In contrast, based on a decline in interest rates of 100 basis points, the Bank’s EVE was estimated to decrease 3.79 percent or $1,084,000 at December 31, 2021. The Bank’s exposure indicates a 4.73 percent decrease based on a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, representing $1,353,000.

The Bank’s post shock EVE to asset ratio based on a 200 basis point rise in interest rates is 20.30 percent and indicates a 3 basis point increase from its 20.27 percent based on no change in interest rates.

The Bank is aware of its minimal interest rate risk exposure under rapidly rising rates and minimal exposure under falling rates. The Bank plans to maintain its balance and share of adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans as well as residential ARM loans and adjustable-rate agricultural loans. The Bank will focus on increasing its post shock EVE ratio, recognizing that the planned stock offering will immediately strengthen the Bank’s post shock EVE ratio.

LENDING ACTIVITIES

Van Wert Federal has focused its lending activity on the origination of conventional mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family dwellings, commercial real estate loans, agricultural loans, consumer and home equity loans and commercial loans. Exhibit 12 provides a summary of Van Wert Federal’s loan portfolio, by loan type, at June 30, 2020 and 2021, and at December 31, 2021.

The primary and predominant loan type for Van Wert Federal has been residential loans secured by one- to four-family dwellings, representing a strong 79.1 percent of the Bank’s gross loans as of December 31, 2021. The share of this loan type has decreased from 79.6 percent at

The third largest real estate loan category as of December 31, 2021, was agricultural real estate loans, which represented a modest 4.1 percent of gross loans compared to a lesser 3.7 percent as of June 30, 2020. These three real estate loan categories represented a strong 92.5 percent of gross loans at December 31, 2021, compared to a similar 92.3 percent of gross loans at June 30, 2020, and a similar 92.0 percent at June 30, 2021.

Lending Activities (cont.)

The focus of Van Wert Federal’s residential mortgage loan activity is on properties located in Van Wert Federal’s primary market area focused on Van Wert County. The Bank offers fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans. Fixed-rate residential mortgage loans have a maximum term of 30 years with most originations today having terms of 15, 20 or 30 years. The Bank’s fixed-rate residential mortgage loans conform to FHLMC underwriting standards. The Bank’s ARM residential loans have initial terms of five, seven or ten years and then adjust to a one term with an annual rate cap of 2.0 percent and 6.0 percent over the life of the loan.

The normal loan-to-value ratio for conventional mortgage loans to purchase or refinance one-to four-family dwellings generally does not exceed 80.0 percent at Van Wert Federal, even though the Bank is permitted to make loans up to a 90.0 percent loan-to-value ratio for first mortgage loans on owner-occupied one- to four-family dwellings, including construction loans of the same type. While the Bank does make loans up to 90.0 percent of loan-to-value, the Bank may require private mortgage insurance for the amount in excess of the 80.0 percent loan-to-value ratio and normally requires a higher FICO credit score for the borrower.

Mortgage loans originated by the Bank include due-on-sale clauses enabling the Bank to adjust rates on fixed-rate loans in the event the borrower transfers ownership. The Bank also requires an escrow account for insurance and taxes on most loans.

Van Wert Federal has also been an originator of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans and agricultural loans in the past and will continue to make agricultural and commercial real estate loans. As previously indicated, the Bank had a combined total of $11.7 million in commercial real estate and agricultural loans at December 31, 2021, representing 14.64 percent of gross loans, compared to a lesser $10.5 million or 14.8 percent of gross loans at June 30, 2020. The major portion of commercial real estate loans are secured by small retail establishments, churches, small office buildings, and other owner-occupied properties used for business. The agricultural and commercial real estate loans are fully amortizing with a term of up to 20 years. The maximum loan-to-value ratio does not exceed 80.0 percent and 75.0 percent for nonowner-occupied properties.

17

Lending Activities (cont.)

The Bank also originates home equity loans and home equity lines of credit. Home equity loans normally have a term of 10 years. Home equity lines of credit have an adjustable interest rate tied to the prime rate published by The Wall Street Journal and a loan-to-value ratio of no more than 90.0 percent of value. Home equity lines of credit have a term of up to five years.

Van Wert Federal is an originator of other consumer loans, with all consumer loans totaling $675.763 at December 31, 2021, representing 0.8 percent of gross loans. The focus of the Bank’s other consumer loans is farm equipment loans, savings account loans and secured and unsecured personal loans.

Exhibit 13 provides a loan maturity schedule and breakdown and summary of Van Wert Federal’s loans by fixed or adjustable-rate, indicating a predominance of fixed-rate loans. It should be noted, however, that a significant share of the loans classified as having fixed rates are residential mortgage loans with longer contractual maturities. At December 31, 2021, the Bank had a minimal 1.1 percent of its loans due on or before December 31, 2022, or in one year or less, with a modest 3.4 percent due by December 31, 2026, or in one to five years. Van Wert Federal had a strong 73.5 percent of loans in fixed-rate loans and 26.5 percent in adjustable-rate loans at December 31, 2021.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Van Wert Federal understands asset quality risk and the direct relationship of such risk to delinquent loans and nonperforming assets, including real estate owned. The quality of assets has been a key concern to financial institutions through many regions of the country. There has been a moderate decrease in nonperforming assets in 2020 and 2021 in the industry.

Any increase in nonperforming assets has often been related to specific regions of the country and has frequently been associated with higher risk loans, including commercial real estate loans, construction loans and nonowner-occupied single-family loans. Van Wert Federal experienced a slight increase in nonperforming assets from June 30, 2020 to December 31, 2021, but continues to be below industry norms.

It is normal procedure for Van Wert Federal’s board to review all delinquent loans on a monthly basis, to assess their collectability and to initiate any direct contact with borrowers. When a loan is delinquent, the Bank sends a notice to the borrower. If the borrower remains delinquent for 60 days, a phone call by the collections officer is made to discuss future payments. The Bank initiates both written and oral communication with the borrower if the loan remains delinquent.

If the loan remains delinquent for 120 days, the loan is brought to the board for possible foreclosure. A decision as to whether and when to initiate foreclosure proceedings is based on such factors as the amount of the outstanding loan, the extent of the delinquency and the borrower’s ability and willingness to cooperate during the delinquency. Once the board declares a loan due, a certified letter is sent to the borrower explaining that the entire balance is due. The borrower is permitted thirty additional days to submit payment. If the borrower does not respond, Van Wert Federal will initiate foreclosure proceedings.

Exhibit 14 provides a summary of Van Wert Federal’s delinquent loans at June 30, 2020 and 2021, and at December 31, 2021. Delinquent loans include loans 30 to 59 days past due, loans 60 to 89 days past due and loans 90 days or more past due. The Bank had $1,464,000 in delinquent loans at December 31, 2021, compared to a much lesser $96,000 at June 30, 2020. The delinquent loans included 68.7 percent in loans 30 to 59 days past due at December 31, 2021, compared to a lesser zero percent at June 30, 2020.

Description of Primary Market Area (cont.)

Unemployment rates are another key economic indicator. Exhibit 24 shows the unemployment rates in Van Wert County, Ohio and the United States in 2017 through 2021. Van Wert County has been characterized by lower unemployment rates compared to both Ohio and the United States. In 2017, Van Wert County had an unemployment rate of 3.9 percent, compared to rates of 5.0 percent in Ohio and 4.4 percent in the United States. In 2018, unemployment rates decreased to 3.5 percent, 4.5 percent, and 3.9 percent in Van Wert County, Ohio, and the United States, respectively. In 2019, the unemployment rates in Van Wert County, Ohio and the United States decreased again to 3.3 percent, 4.1 percent and 3.7 percent, respectively. In 2020, however, unemployment rates increased in all areas due to the business slow-down because of the COVID pandemic. The 2020 unemployment rates were 7.0 percent in Van Wert County, 8.2 percent in Ohio and 8.1 percent in the United States. Through 2021, unemployment rates decrease to 3.8 percent, 4.9 percent and 5.4 percent in Van Wert County, Ohio and the United States, respectively.

III. COMPARABLE GROUP SELECTION

Introduction

Integral to the valuation of Van Wert Federal is the selection of an appropriate group of publicly traded thrift institutions, hereinafter referred to as the “comparable group”. This section identifies the comparable group and describes various methodologies and parameters used in the selection of the group. The selection of the comparable group was based on the establishment of both general and specific parameters using financial condition, operating and asset quality characteristics of the Bank to indicate the overall appropriateness of each of the comparable group institutions and the full comparable group in aggregate. The parameters established and defined are considered to be both reasonable and reflective of the Bank’s basic operations.

The various characteristics of the selected comparable group provide the primary basis for applying the necessary adjustments to the Bank’s pro forma value relative to the comparable group. There is also a general recognition and consideration of financial comparisons with all publicly traded, FDIC-insured thrifts in the United States and all publicly traded, FDIC-insured thrifts in the Midwest region.

Exhibits 27 and 28 present Thrift Stock Prices and Pricing Ratios and Key Financial Data and Ratios, respectively, for the universe of 86 publicly traded, FDIC-insured, fully converted thrifts in the United States (“all thrifts”), also subclassifying those thrifts by region, including the 32 publicly traded Midwest thrifts (“Midwest thrifts”), and by trading exchange.

29

GENERAL PARAMETERS

Merger/Acquisition

The comparable group will not include any institution that is in the process of a merger or acquisition due to the price impact of such a pending transaction.

There are no other pending merger/acquisition transaction involving thrift institutions in the city, county or market area of Van Wert Federal, as indicated in Exhibit 30.

Trading Exchange

It is necessary that each institution in the comparable group be listed on one of the three major stock exchanges, the New York Stock Exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (NASDAQ). Such a listing indicates that an institution’s stock has demonstrated trading activity and is responsive to normal market conditions, which are requirements for continued listing.

Of the 86 publicly traded, FDIC-insured savings institutions, four are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, 62 are traded on NASDAQ, and the remainder are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board or are listed in the Pink Sheets. Comparable group institutions will be focused on the 38 companies traded on NASDAQ.

IPO Date

Another general parameter for the selection of the comparable group is the initial public offering (“IPO”) date, which must be at least four quarterly periods prior to the trading date of February 18, 2022, used in this Appraisal, in order to insure at least four consecutive quarters of reported data as a publicly traded institution. The resulting parameter is a required IPO date prior to December 31, 2020.

30

Geographic Location

The geographic location of an institution is a pertinent parameter due to the impact of various regional economic and thrift industry conditions on the performance and trading prices of thrift institution stocks. The geographic location parameter has, therefore, eliminated regions of the United States incompatible with the Bank, including the Western, Southwestern, and New England states. The geographic location parameter consists of the North Central, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern states.

Asset Size

Asset size was another parameter used in the selection of the comparable group. The maximum total assets for any potential comparable group institution was $1.9 billion, due to the general similarity of asset mix and operating strategies of institutions within this asset range combined with the requirement to have comparable group candidates be traded on the NYSE or on NASDAQ. Van Wert Federal had assets of approximately $138.6 million at December 31, 2021.

In connection with asset size, we did not consider the number of offices or branches in selecting or eliminating candidates, since that characteristic is directly related to operating expenses, which are recognized as an operating performance parameter.

31

SUMMARY

Exhibits 33 and 34 show the 38 institutions considered as comparable group candidates after applying the general parameters, with the outlined institutions being those ultimately selected for the comparable group using the balance sheet, performance and asset quality parameters established in this section.

32

BALANCE SHEET PARAMETERS

Introduction

The balance sheet parameters focused on seven balance sheet ratios as determinants for selecting a comparable group, as presented in Exhibit 31. The balance sheet ratios consist of the following:

1.       Cash and investments to assets

2.       Mortgage-backed securities to assets

3.       One- to four-family loans to assets

4.       Total net loans to assets

5.       Total net loans and mortgage-backed securities to assets

6.       Borrowed funds to assets

7.       Equity to assets

The parameters enable the identification and elimination of thrift institutions that are distinctly and functionally different from the Corporation with regard to asset mix. The balance sheet parameters also distinguish institutions with a significantly different capital position from the Corporation. The ratio of deposits to assets was not used as a parameter as it is directly related to and affected by an institution's equity and borrowed funds ratios, which are separate parameters.

Cash and Investments to Assets

The Bank’s ratio of cash and investments to assets, excluding mortgage-backed securities, was 28.21 percent at December 31, 2021, and reflects the Bank’s share of cash and investments higher than the national and state averages of 18.61 percent and 17.74 percent, respectively. The Bank's investments have consisted of federal agency securities, municipal securities and other interest-bearing deposits.

33

Cash & Investments to Assets (cont.)

For its two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, the Bank’s average ratio of cash and investments to assets was a lower 25.46 percent, ranging from a low of 20.42 percent in 2021 to a high of 30.51 percent in 2020.

The parameter range for cash and investments is has been defined as 45.0 percent or less of assets, with a midpoint of 22.5 percent.

Mortgage-Backed Securities to Assets

At December 31, 2021, the Bank had $14.2 million in mortgage-backed securities, resulting in a 10.25 percent ratio, modestly higher than the national average of 8.05 percent and higher than the regional average of 6.76 percent for publicly traded thrifts. The Bank’s two most recent fiscal year average is 8.53 percent, which is higher than industry averages.

Inasmuch as many institutions purchase mortgage-backed securities as an alternative to both lending, relative to cyclical loan demand and prevailing interest rates, and other investment vehicles, this parameter is also fairly broad at 30.0 percent or less of assets and a midpoint of 15.0 percent.

One- to Four-Family Loans to Assets

The Bank’s lending activity has been focused on the origination of residential mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family dwellings. One- to four-family loans, excluding construction loans and home equity loans, represented 45.39 percent of the Bank's assets at December 31, 2020, which is lower than its ratio of 48.22 percent at June 30, 2021, and lower than its ratio of 46.95 percent at June 30, 2020. The parameter for this characteristic is 50.00 percent of assets or less in one- to four-family loans with a midpoint of 25.00 percent.

34

Total Net Loans to Assets

At December 31, 2021, the Bank had a 55.88 percent ratio of total net loans to assets and a higher two fiscal year average of 59.80 percent, compared to the national average of 64.72 percent and the regional average of 62.41 percent for publicly traded thrifts. The Bank's ratio of total net loans to assets changed from 59.0 percent of total assets at June 30, 2020, to 60.6 percent at June 30, 2021, to 55.9 percent at December 31, 2021.

The parameter for the selection of the comparable group is from 20.0 percent to 80.0 percent with a midpoint of 50.0 percent. The lower end of the parameter range relates to the fact that, as the referenced national and regional averages indicate, many institutions hold greater volumes of mortgage-backed securities as cyclical alternatives to lending, but may otherwise be similar to the Bank.

Total Net Loans and Mortgage-Backed Securities to Assets

As discussed previously, the Bank’s shares of mortgage-backed securities to assets and total net loans to assets were 10.25 percent and 55.88 percent, respectively, for a combined share of 66.12 percent. Recognizing the industry and regional ratios of 72.8 percent and 69.2 percent, respectively, the parameter range for the comparable group in this category is 50.0 percent to 92.0 percent, with a midpoint of 71.0 percent.

35

Borrowed Funds to Assets

The Bank had no borrowed funds at December 31, 2021, which is lower than the current industry average of 5.84 percent. The Bank also had no borrowed funds at June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.

The use of borrowed funds by some institutions indicates an alternative to retail deposits and may provide a source of longer term funds. The federal insurance premium on deposits does increase the attractiveness of borrowed funds. The institutional demand for borrowed funds has decreased recently, due to lower rates paid on deposits.

The parameter range of borrowed funds to assets is 44.0 percent or less with a midpoint of 22.0 percent.

Equity to Assets

The Bank’s equity to assets ratio was 18.23 percent at December 31, 2021, 20.46 percent at December 31, 2020, and 21.28 percent at December 31, 2019, averaging 19.99 percent for the three calendar years ended December 31, 2021. The Bank’s equity decreased in each of the past three calendar periods from December 31, 2019, to December 31, 2021. After conversion, based on the midpoint value of $22.0 million, with a foundation of $300,000, consisting of $100,000 in cash and $200,000 in stock, with 50.0 percent of the net proceeds of the public offering going to the Bank, its equity is projected to increase to 24.86 percent of assets, with the Corporation’s equity at 30.23 percent of assets.

Based on those equity ratios, we have defined the equity ratio parameter to be 8.0 percent to 24.0 percent with a midpoint ratio of 16.0 percent.

36

PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS

Introduction

Exhibit 32 presents five parameters identified as key indicators of the Bank’s earnings performance and the basis for such performance both historically and during the year ended December 31, 2021. The primary performance indicator is the Bank's core return on average assets (ROAA). The second performance indicator is the Bank's core return on average equity (ROAE). To measure the Bank's ability to generate net interest income, we have used net interest margin. The supplemental source of income for the Bank is noninterest income, and the parameter used to measure this factor is the ratio of noninterest income to average assets. The final performance indicator is the Bank's ratio of operating expenses or noninterest expenses to average assets, a key factor in distinguishing different types of operations, particularly institutions that are aggressive in secondary market activities, which often results in much higher operating costs and overhead ratios.

Return on Average Assets

The key performance parameter is core ROAA. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Bank’s core ROAA was 0.19 percent based on a core income after taxes of $244,000, as detailed in Item I of this Report. The net ROAA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, was 0.03 percent on net income of $35,000. The Bank's ROAAs in its most recent two fiscal years of 2021 and 2020 were 0.20 percent and 0.34 percent, respectively, with a two fiscal year average ROAA of 0.27 percent based on net income.

Considering the historical and current earnings performance of the Bank, as well as the industry, the range for the ROAA parameter based on core income has been defined as less than 1.38 percent with a midpoint of 0.69 percent.

37

Return on Average Equity

The ROAE has been used as a secondary parameter to eliminate any institutions with an unusually high or low ROAE that is inconsistent with the Bank's position. This parameter does not provide as much meaning for a newly converted thrift institution as it does for established stock institutions, due to the unseasoned nature of the capital structure of the newly converted thrift and the inability to accurately reflect a mature ROAE for the newly converted thrift relative to other stock institutions.

The Bank’s core ROAE for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, was 0.96 percent based on its core earnings. In its most recent two fiscal years, the Bank's average ROAE was 1.33 percent, from a low of 1.02 percent in 2021 to a high of 1.63 percent in 2020.

The parameter range for ROAE for the comparable group, based on core income, is 15.00 percent or less with a midpoint of 7.50 percent.

Net Interest Margin

The Bank had a net interest margin of 2.24 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, representing net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The Bank's net interest margin levels in its two prior fiscal years of 2020 and 2021 were 2.94 percent and 2.73 percent, respectively, averaging 2.84 percent.

The parameter range for the selection of the comparable group is from a low of 1.40 percent to a high of 3.80 percent with a midpoint of 2.60 percent.

38

Operating Expenses to Assets

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Bank had a 2.24 percent ratio of operating expense to average assets. In its two prior fiscal years of 2020 to 2021, the Bank’s expense ratio averaged 2.11 percent, from a low of 2.05 percent in fiscal year 2021 to a high of 2.17 percent in fiscal year 2020.

The operating expense to assets parameter for the selection of the comparable group is from a low of 1.04 percent to a high of 5.60 percent with a midpoint of 3.32 percent.

Noninterest Income to Assets

Compared to publicly traded thrifts, the Bank has experienced a lower level of noninterest income as a source of additional income due to its gains on loans sold. The Bank’s ratio of noninterest income to average assets was 0.17 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. For its prior two fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, the Bank’s ratios of noninterest income to average assets were 0.18 percent and 0.18 percent, respectively, for a two-year average of 0.18 percent.

The range for this parameter for the selection of the comparable group is 4.90 percent of average assets or less, with a midpoint of 2.45 percent.

39

ASSET QUALITY PARAMETERS

Introduction

The final set of financial parameters used in the selection of the comparable group are asset quality parameters, also shown in Exhibit 34. The purpose of these parameters is to insure that any thrift institution in the comparable group has an asset quality position similar to that of the Bank. The three defined asset quality parameters are the ratios of nonperforming assets to total assets, repossessed assets to total assets and loan loss reserves to total assets at the end of the most recent period.

Nonperforming Assets to Total Assets

The Bank’s ratio of nonperforming assets to assets was 0.12 percent at December 31, 2021, which was lower than the national average of 0.47 percent for publicly traded thrifts and the average of 0.53 percent for Midwest thrifts. The Bank’s ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets averaged 0.08 percent for its most recent two fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, from a high of 0.14 percent at June 30, 2021, to a low of 0.04 percent at June 30, 2020.

The comparable group parameter for nonperforming assets is 1.15 percent or less of total assets, with a midpoint of 0.58 percent.

Repossessed Assets to Assets

The Bank had no repossessed assets at December 31, 2021, representing a ratio to total assets of zero percent, following ratios of repossessed assets to total assets of zero percent and zero percent at June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021, respectively. National and regional averages were 0.05 percent and 0.10 percent, respectively, for publicly traded thrift institutions.

40

Repossessed Assets to Assets (cont.)

The range for the repossessed assets to total assets parameter is 0.40 percent of assets or less with a midpoint of 0.20 percent.

Loans Loss Reserves to Assets

The Bank had an allowance for loan losses of $223,000, representing a loan loss allowance to total assets ratio of 0.16 percent at December 31, 2021, which was lower than its 0.18 percent ratio at June 30, 2021, and lower than its 0.19 percent ratio at June 30, 2020.

The loan loss allowance to assets parameter range used for the selection of the comparable group required a minimum ratio of 0.15 percent of assets.

THE COMPARABLE GROUP

With the application of the parameters previously identified and applied, the final comparable group represents ten institutions identified in Exhibits 33, 34 and 35. The comparable group institutions range in size from $248.6 million to $1.86 billion with an average asset size of $883.8 million and have an average of 11.0 offices per institution. Four of the comparable group institutions are in Pennsylvania, two in Illinois, and one each in Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and Washington, and all ten are traded on NASDAQ.

The comparable group institutions as a unit have a ratio of equity to assets of 12.45 percent, which is 8.4 percent higher than all publicly traded thrift institutions in the United States; and for the most recent four quarters indicated a core return on average assets of 0.77 percent, lower than all publicly traded thrifts at 0.94 percent and lower than the publicly traded Ohio thrifts at 0.91 percent.

IV. ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

This section reviews and compares the financial performance of the Bank to all publicly traded thrifts, to publicly traded thrifts in the Midwest region and to Ohio thrifts, as well as to the ten institutions constituting the Bank’s comparable group, as selected and described in the previous section. The comparative analysis focuses on financial condition, earning performance and pertinent ratios as presented in Exhibits 36 through 41.

As presented in Exhibits 36 and 37, at December 31, 2021, the Bank’s total equity of 18.23 percent of assets was moderately above the comparable group at 12.45 percent, higher than all thrifts at 11.48 percent, Midwest thrifts at 11.89 percent and higher than Ohio thrifts at 12.86 percent. The Bank had an 55.88 percent share of net loans in its asset mix, lower than the comparable group at 57.50 percent, all thrifts at 64.72 percent and Midwest thrifts at 62.41 percent and lower than Ohio thrifts at 68.48 percent. The Bank had a higher 28.21 percent share of cash and investments with a lower 10.25 percent share of mortgage-backed securities. The comparable group had a lower 23.96 percent share of cash and investments and a higher 11.26 percent share of mortgage-backed securities. All thrifts had an 8.05 percent of assets in mortgage-backed securities and 18.61 percent in cash and investments. The Bank’s 81.03 percent share of deposits was higher than the comparable group, all thrifts, Midwest thrifts and Ohio thrifts, reflecting the Bank's much lower share of borrowed funds of zero percent and higher share of equity of 18.23 percent. As ratios to assets, the comparable group had deposits of 77.52 percent and borrowings of 8.73 percent. All thrifts averaged an 81.24 percent share of deposits and 5.84 percent of borrowed funds, while Midwest thrifts had an 81.65 percent share of deposits and a 5.24 percent share of borrowed funds. Ohio thrifts averaged an 80.04 percent share of deposits and a 5.22 percent share of borrowed funds. The Bank had no goodwill and intangible assets, compared to 0.31 percent for the comparable group, 0.71 percent for all thrifts, 0.36 percent for Midwest thrifts and 0.62 percent for Ohio thrifts.

42

Analysis of Financial Performance (cont.)

Operating performance indicators are summarized in Exhibits 38, 39 and 40 and provide a synopsis of key sources of income and key expense items for the Bank in comparison to the comparable group, all thrifts, and regional thrifts for the trailing four quarters.

As shown in Exhibit 40, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Bank had a lower yield on average interest-earning assets relative to the comparable group, all thrifts, Midwest thrifts and Ohio thrifts. The Bank's yield on interest-earning assets was 2.55 percent compared to the comparable group at 3.24 percent, all thrifts at 3.66 percent, Midwest thrifts at 3.53 percent and Ohio thrifts at 3.78 percent.

The Bank's cost of funds for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, was also lower than the comparable group and all thrifts, Midwest thrifts, and Ohio thrifts. The Bank had an average cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 0.37 percent compared to 0.62 percent for the comparable group, 0.57 percent for all thrifts, 0.58 percent for Midwest thrifts and 0.70 percent for Ohio thrifts. The Bank's yield on interest-earning assets and cost of funds resulted in a net interest spread of 2.17 percent, which was lower than the comparable group at 2.62 percent, all thrifts at 3.09 percent, lower than Midwest thrifts at 2.96 percent and Ohio thrifts at 3.08 percent. The Bank generated a net interest margin of 2.24 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, based on its ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets, which was lower than the comparable group ratio of 2.77 percent. All thrifts averaged a higher 3.19 percent net interest margin for the trailing four quarters, with Midwest thrifts at 3.06 percent, and Ohio thrifts averaged a higher 3.20 percent.

The Bank’s major source of earnings is interest income, as indicated by the operations ratios presented in Exhibit 42. The Bank had no provision for loan losses during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, representing zero percent of average assets. The average provision for loan losses for the comparable group was 0.02 percent, with all thrifts at 0.02 percent, Midwest thrifts at (0.01) percent and Ohio thrifts at 0.01 percent.

43

Analysis of Financial Performance (cont.)

The Bank's total noninterest income was $220,000 or 0.17 percent of average assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. The Bank's ratio of noninterest income to average assets was lower than the comparable group at 1.13 percent, and lower than all thrifts at 1.01 percent, Midwest thrifts at 1.30 percent and lower than Ohio thrifts at 1.78 percent. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Bank’s operating expense ratio was 2.24 percent of average assets, lower than the comparable group at 2.58 percent, all thrifts at 2.81 percent, Midwest thrifts at 3.13 percent, and Ohio thrifts at 3.48 percent.

The overall impact of the Bank’s income and expense ratios is reflected in its net income and return on assets. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the Bank had a net ROAA of 0.03 and a core ROAA of 0.19 percent. For its most recent four quarters, the comparable group had a higher net ROAA of 0.83 percent and a higher core ROAA of 0.77 percent. All publicly traded thrifts averaged a higher net ROAA of 1.06 percent and a higher 0.94 percent core ROAA, with Midwest thrifts a 1.01 percent net ROAA and a 0.88 percent core ROAA. The twelve month net and core ROAA for the 10 Ohio thrifts was 0.95 percent and 0.91 percent, respectively.

44

V. MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENTS

This is a conclusive section where adjustments are made to determine the pro forma market value or appraised value of the Corporation based on a comparison of Van Wert Federal with the comparable group. These adjustments will take into consideration such key items as earnings performance, primary market area, financial condition, asset and deposit growth, dividend payments, subscription interest, liquidity of the stock to be issued, management, and market conditions or marketing of the issue. It must be noted that all of the institutions in the comparable group have their differences among themselves and relative to the Bank, and, as a result, such adjustments become necessary.

EARNINGS PERFORMANCE

In analyzing earnings performance, consideration was given to net interest income, the amount and volatility of interest income and interest expense relative to changes in market area conditions and to changes in overall interest rates, the quality of assets as it relates to the presence of problem assets which may result in adjustments to earnings due to provisions for loan losses, the balance of current and historical nonperforming assets and real estate owned, the balance of valuation allowances to support any problem assets or nonperforming assets, the amount and volatility of noninterest income, and the amount and ratio of noninterest expenses. The earnings performance analysis was based on the Bank’s respective net and core earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, with comparisons to the core earnings of the comparable group, all thrifts and other geographical subdivisions.

45

Earnings Performance (cont.)

As discussed earlier, the Bank has experienced increases in its assets in three of the past four fiscal years and in the six months ended December 31, 2021, and increases in loans in each of the past four fiscal years and in the six months ended December 31, 2021, and increases in deposits in three of the past four fiscal years and in the six months ended December 31, 2021, with increases experienced for assets and deposits in 2019, 2020 and 2021. The Bank has experienced lower and declining positive earnings in each of the past five fiscal years and a decrease in the six months ended December 31, 2021, and has focused on controlling its lower balance of nonperforming assets; monitoring its ratio of interest sensitive assets relative to interest sensitive liabilities by maintaining a moderate share of cash and investments and adjustable-rate loans, thereby maintaining its overall interest rate risk; reducing its cost of funds; maintaining its modest level of noninterest income; and monitoring its declining net interest margin. Historically, the Bank has been characterized with its lower yields and lower costs of funds, which have resulted in a lower net interest margin that has been historically much lower than industry averages due to its lower yield on earning assets even with its lower cost of funds, with the margin trend experiencing modest decrease over the past two fiscal years and in the six months ended December 31, 2021, with a 2.24 percent net interest margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, was lower than the industry average of 3.19 percent and lower than the comparable group average of 2.77 percent. During its prior two fiscal years, Van Wert Federal’s net interest margin has decreased from 2.98 percent in fiscal year 2020 to 2.72 percent in 2021. The Bank’s cost of funds decreased to 0.37 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, which was lower than the average of 0.62 percent for the comparable group and lower than the average of 0.57 percent for all thrifts. Following the conversion, the Bank will continue to control its operating expenses, strive to increase its net interest margin, strive to increase its noninterest income, gradually increase its core net income, increase its return on assets, continue to control its balance of nonperforming and classified assets, and closely monitor its interest rate risk.

Earnings Performance (cont.)

From June 30, 2020, to December 31, 2021, one- to four-family loans and commercial real estate loans, multi-family loans, commercial business loans, home equity loans and consumer loans have experienced various movements in their balances. One- to four-family loans, commercial real estate loans and agricultural loans indicated dollar increases of $6.0 million, $1.1 million and $670,000, respectively, from June 30, 2020, to December 31, 2021. One- to four-family loans increased in dollars by $2.0 million or 3.3 percent from June 30, 2021, to December 31, 2021. Commercial real estate loans increased by $903,000 or 13.8 percent from June 30, 2021, to December 31, 2021. Agricultural loans increased $327,000 or 11.0 percent from June 30, 2021, through December 31, 2021. Overall the Bank’s lending activities resulted in a total loan increase of $9.1 million or 2.9 percent and a net loan increase of $7.9 million or 11.4 percent from June 30, 2020, to December 31, 2021.

The impact of Van Wert Federal’s primary lending efforts has been to generate a yield on average interest-earning assets of a lower 2.55 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, compared to a higher 3.24 percent for the comparable group, 3.66 percent for all thrifts and 3.53 percent for Midwest thrifts. The Bank’s ratio of interest income to average assets was a lower 2.38 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, lower than the comparable group at 2.96 percent, all thrifts at 3.35 percent and Midwest thrifts at 3.20 percent, reflecting the Bank's lower yield.

Van Wert Federal’s 0.37 percent cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, was lower than the comparable group at 0.62 percent, lower than all thrifts at 0.57 percent, lower than Midwest thrifts at 0.58 percent and lower than Ohio thrifts at 0.70 percent. The Bank's resulting net interest spread of 2.17 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, was lower the comparable group at 2.62 percent and lower than all thrifts at 3.09 percent, Midwest thrifts at 2.96 percent and Ohio thrifts at 3.08 percent. The Bank's net interest margin of 2.24 percent, based on average interest-earning assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, was lower than the comparable group at 2.77 percent, lower than all thrifts at 3.19 percent, Midwest thrifts at 3.06 percent and Ohio thrifts at 3.20 percent.

The Bank's ratio of noninterest income to average assets was a much lower 0.17 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, which was lower than the comparable group at 1.13 percent, lower than all thrifts at 1.01 percent and Midwest thrifts at 1.30 percent.

Earnings Performance (cont.)

The Bank's operating expenses were lower than the comparable group, all thrifts, Midwest thrifts and Ohio thrifts. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, Van Wert Federal had an operating expenses to average assets ratio of 2.24 percent, compared to 2.58 percent for the comparable group, 2.81 percent for all thrifts, 3.13 percent for Midwest thrifts and 3.48 percent for Ohio thrifts. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, Van Wert Federal generated a lower ratio of noninterest income, a lower ratio of noninterest expenses and a much lower net interest margin relative to its comparable group.

The Bank had zero percent in provision for loan losses during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the comparable group at 0.02 percent of assets, all thrifts at 0.02 percent and Midwest thrifts at (0.01) percent. The Bank’s allowance for loan losses to total loans of 0.29 percent was much lower than the comparable group and much lower than all thrifts. The Bank’s reserves to nonperforming assets was 138.51 percent relative to the comparable group at 181.53 percent and all thrifts at 265.07 percent.

As a result of its operations, the Bank's core income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, was lower than the comparable group and its net income was also lower. Based on net earnings, the Bank had a return on average assets of 0.03 percent for the year ended December 31, 2021, and a return on average assets of 0.20 percent and 0.34 percent in fiscal years 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Bank’s core return on average assets was 0.19 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, as detailed in Exhibit 7. For their most recent four quarters, the comparable group had a higher net ROAA of 0.83 percent and a higher core ROAA of 0.77 percent, while all thrifts indicated a higher net ROAA and higher core ROAA of 1.06 percent and 0.94 percent, respectively. Midwest thrifts indicated a net ROAA of 1.01 percent and a core ROAA of 0.88 percent.

Earnings Performance (cont.)

Following its conversion, Van Wert Federal’s earnings will continue to be dependent on a combination of the overall trends in interest rates, the consistency, reliability and variation of its net interest income, noninterest income, overhead expenses and its asset quality and its future needs for provisions for loan losses. Earnings are projected to represent a (1.63) percent ROAA in 2022 and then 0.40 percent in 2023. The Bank’s ratio of noninterest income to average assets was 0.18 percent in fiscal 2020 to 2021. Overhead expenses indicated a minimal decrease overall during the past two fiscal years.

In recognition of the foregoing earnings related factors, considering Van Wert Federal’s historical and current performance measures, as well as Business Plan projections, a downward adjustment has been made to the Corporation’s pro forma market value for earnings performance.

49

MARKET AREA

Van Wert Federal’s market area is focused on Van Wert, Ohio, where the Bank’s office is located. The population trends indicate decreases in Van Wert County from 2000 through 2026 projections, while Ohio and the United States increased in population.

Van Wert had lower per capita and lower median household income than all other areas. In 2010, median housing values were $86,986 in Van Wert, $134,400 in Ohio and $179,900 in the United States. In 2021, median housing values increased to $117,440, $163,017, and $227,827, with Van Wert County continuing to stay lower than Ohio and the United States.

Also, Van Wert County has been characterized with lower unemployment rates than the state and national unemployment rates. The 2021 unemployment rates were 3.8 percent in Van Wert County, 4.9 percent in Ohio and 5.4 percent in the United States.

The Bank held 38.4 percent of the total thrift deposits in the market area as of June 30, 2021, which represented a 15.7 percent share of the total deposit base of $647.5 million.

In recognition of the foregoing factors, we believe that a downward adjustment is warranted for the Bank’s market area.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The financial condition of Van Wert Federal is discussed in Section I and shown in Exhibits 1, 2, 5, and 12 through 19, and is compared to the comparable group in Exhibits 35, 36, and 37. The Bank's ratio of total equity to total assets was 18.23 percent at December 31, 2021, which was above the comparable group at 12.45 percent and higher than all thrifts at 11.48 percent and Ohio thrifts at 12.86 percent. Based on the conversion completed at the midpoint of the valuation range, the Corporation's pro forma equity to assets ratio will be 30.23 percent, and the Bank's pro forma equity to assets ratio will increase to 24.86 percent.

The Bank's mix of assets and liabilities indicates both similarities to and variations from its comparable group. Van Wert Federal had a lower 55.88 percent ratio of net loans to total assets at December 31, 2021, compared to the comparable group at 57.5 percent. All thrifts indicated a higher 64.7 percent, as did Midwest thrifts at 62.4percent. The Bank's 28.21 percent share of cash and investments, excluding mortgage-backed securities, was higher than the comparable group at 23.96 percent, while all thrifts were at 18.61 percent and Midwest thrifts were at 20.88 percent. Van Wert Federal’s 10.25 percent of mortgage-backed securities was modestly lower than the comparable group at 11.26 percent and higher than all thrifts at 8.05 percent and higher than Midwest thrifts at 6.76 percent.

The Bank's 81.03 percent ratio of deposits to total assets was higher than the comparable group at 77.52 percent, lower than all thrifts at 81.24 percent and lower than Midwest thrifts at 81.65 percent. Van Wert Federal’s higher ratio of deposits was due to its lower share of borrowed funds. Van Wert Federal had a higher equity to asset ratio of 18.23 percent, compared to the comparable group at 12.45 percent of total assets, with all thrifts at 11.48 percent and Midwest thrifts at 11.89 percent. Van Wert Federal had a lower share of borrowed funds to assets of zero percent at December 31, 2021, moderately lower than the comparable group at 8.73 percent and lower than all thrifts at 5.84 percent and lower than Midwest thrifts at 5.24 percent. In fiscal year 2021, total deposits increased by $7.1 million or 7.6 percent and increased from $93.8 million to $100.9 million. During fiscal year 2020, Van Wert Federal’s deposits increased by $4.0 million or 4.4 percent from $89.8 million to $93.8 million.

51

Financial Condition (cont.)

Van Wert Federal had no assets in combined goodwill and intangible assets and had a lower share of repossessed real estate at December 31, 2021. The Bank also had no repossessed real estate or zero percent of assets at December 31, 2020. This compares to ratios of 0.31 percent for goodwill and intangible assets and 0.05 percent for real estate owned for the comparable group. All thrifts had a goodwill and intangible assets ratio of 0.71 percent and a real estate owned ratio of 0.05 percent.

The financial condition of Van Wert Federal is impacted by its lower than average balance of nonperforming assets of 0.12 percent of total assets at December 31, 2021, compared to a higher 0.33 percent for the comparable group, 0.47 percent for all thrifts, 0.53 percent for Midwest thrifts and a higher 0.45 percent for Ohio thrifts. The Bank's ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.04 percent at June 30, 2020, and 0.14 percent at June 30, 2021.

At December 31, 2021, Van Wert Federal had $223,000 of allowances for loan losses, which represented a lower 0.16 percent of assets and 0.29 percent of total loans. The comparable group indicated higher allowance ratios, relative to assets and loans, equal to 0.66 percent of assets and 1.02 percent of total loans, while all thrifts had allowances relative to assets and loans that averaged a higher 0.74 percent of assets and a higher 1.09 percent of total loans. Also of major importance is an institution's ratio of allowances for loan losses to nonperforming assets, since a portion of nonperforming assets might eventually be charged off. Van Wert Federal’s $223,000 of allowances for loan losses, relative to its $161,000 in nonperforming assets at December 31, 2021, was 138.51 percent, compared to the comparable group's 181.53 percent, with all thrifts at 265.07 percent, Midwest thrifts at 229.54 percent and Ohio thrifts at 401.27 percent. Van Wert Federal’s ratio of net charge-offs to average total loans was zero percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, compared to a higher 0.03 percent for the comparable group, 0.07 percent for all thrifts and 0.04 percent for Midwest thrifts.

52

Financial Condition (cont.)

Van Wert Federal has a modest level of interest rate risk. The change in the Bank’ s EVE level at December 31, 2021, reflecting the most current information available, based on a rise in interest rates of 100 basis points was a 0.23 percent increase, representing a dollar increase in equity value of $67,000. The Bank’s exposure increases to a 4.73 percent decrease in its EVE level under a 200 basis point rise in rates, representing a dollar decrease in equity of $1,353,000. The Bank’s post shock EVE ratio at December 31, 2021, assuming a 200 basis point rise in interest rates was 20.30 percent and indicated a 3 basis point increase from its 20.27 percent based on no change in interest rates.

Compared to the comparable group, with particular attention to the Bank’s equity level, asset quality position level, lower level of allowance for loan loss, and asset and liability mix, we believe that a modest upward adjustment is warranted for Van Wert Federal’s current financial condition, due to the Bank’s higher equity position, recognizing its recently rising share of nonperforming assets and lower share of allowance for loan losses to loans, higher share of cash and investments, and lower level of interest rate risk.

53

ASSET, LOAN AND DEPOSIT GROWTH

During its most recent two fiscal years and in the six months ended December 31, 2021, Van Wert Federal has been characterized by moderate changes in assets, loans and deposits relative to its comparable group. The Bank’s average annual asset change from June 30, 2020, to December 31, 2021, was an increase of 8.0 percent. This increase compares to a similar 7.8 percent increase for the comparable group, a lower 6.8 percent for all thrifts, and a similar 7.4 percent for Midwest thrifts. The Bank’s increase in assets is reflective of its average annual increases in loans and deposits of 6.21 percent and 10.0 percent, respectively. Van Wert Federal’s deposits indicate an annual increase of 8.5 percent from December 31, 2018, to December 31, 2021, compared to average growth rates of 8.8 percent for the comparable group, 7.8 percent for all thrifts and 8.2 percent for Midwest thrifts.

Van Wert Federal’s deposits indicated an increase of 14.7 percent from calendar 2020 to 2021. Annual deposit change was growth rates of 12.8 percent for the comparable group, 9.2 percent for all thrifts and 13.8 percent for Midwest thrifts. The Bank had no borrowed funds or zero percent of assets at December 31, 2021, compared to the comparable group at 8.7 percent and had no borrowed funds for the Bank at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020.

Recognizing its stronger increase in deposits in 2021, after moderate growth in 2020 and a modest growth in 2019, and considering the demographics, competition and deposit base trends in its market area, the Bank’s ability to increase its asset, loan and deposit bases in the future is somewhat limited, with its ability to increase its market share by competitively pricing its loan and deposit products, maintaining a high quality of service to its customers and strengthening its loan origination activity. Van Wert Federal’s primary market area county of Van Wert experienced decreases in population and households between 2000 and 2010 with a population decrease from 2010 to 2021 of a 1.2 percent. The Bank’s primary market area county also indicated 2010 per capita income modestly below Ohio’s and moderately below that of the United States, and the median household income level in Van Wert County was below the state level and below the national level in 2010. In 2010, the median housing value in Van Wert County at $86,986 was well below that of Ohio at $134,400 and lower than the United States at $179,900, with median rents lower than both.

54

Asset, Loan and Deposit Growth (cont.)

The total deposit base in Van Wert County increased by 7.3 percent from June 30, 2020, to June 30, 2021. In June 30, 2021, Van Wert Federal’s market share of thrift deposits in Van Wert County was 38.4 percent, decreasing from 39.4 percent in 2020.

Based on all the foregoing factors, we have concluded that a moderate downward adjustment to the Corporation’s pro forma value is warranted for asset, loan and deposit growth.

DIVIDEND PAYMENTS

The Corporation has no plans to pay an initial cash dividend. The payment of cash dividends will depend upon such factors as earnings performance, financial condition, capital position, growth, asset quality and regulatory limitations. Seven of the ten institutions in the comparable group paid cash dividends during the most recent twelve months for an average dividend yield of 1.65 percent and an average payout ratio of 24.11 percent. During that twelve month period, the average dividend yield was 2.34 percent for the eleven Ohio thrifts; and the average dividend yield was 2.53 percent and the average payout ratio was 21.33 percent for all thrifts.

In our opinion, a downward adjustment to the pro forma market value of the Corporation is warranted related to dividend payments.

55

SUBSCRIPTION INTEREST

In 2021, investors' interest in financial institution new issues experienced modest activity followed by a downward pricing trend in early 2022. Such decline is possibly related to the volatility in financial institution stocks and the lower interest rate environment. The selective and conservative reaction of IPO investors appears generally to be related to a number of analytical, economic and market-related factors, including the financial performance and condition of the converting thrift institution, the strength of the local market and the national economy, housing market conditions, general market conditions for financial institution stocks and stocks overall, aftermarket price trends and the expectation of increased merger/acquisition activity in the thrift industry and their higher pricing multiples.

Van Wert Federal will direct its offering initially to depositors and residents in its market area. The board of directors and officers anticipate purchasing approximately $4.8 million or 22.1 percent of the stock offered to the public based on the appraised midpoint valuation. The Bank will form an ESOP, which plans to purchase 8.0 percent of the total shares issued in the conversion.

The Bank has secured the services of Performance Trust Capital Partner, LLC, to assist in the marketing and sale of the conversion stock.

Based on the size of the offering, recent banking conditions, current market conditions, current turbulent international conditions in Ukraine, the terms of the offering, recent subscription levels for conversions, and aftermarket performance, we believe that a downward adjustment is warranted for the Bank’s anticipated subscription interest.

56

LIQUIDITY OF THE STOCK

The Corporation will offer its shares through a subscription and community offering with the assistance of Performance Trust Capital Partner, LLC. The stock of the Corporation will be traded on OTC Pink Marketplace.

The Bank's total public offering is considerably smaller in size than the average market value of the comparable group. The comparable group has an average market value of $94.6 million for the stock outstanding compared to a midpoint value of $22.0 million for the Corporation, including the ESOP of 176,000 shares, and the estimated 480,000 shares to be purchased by senior officers and directors. The Corporation’s public market capitalization will be approximately 23.3 percent of the size of the public market capitalization of the comparable group. Of the ten institutions in the comparable group, all trade on NASDAQ with those ten institutions indicating an average daily trading volume of over 5,879 shares during the last four quarters.

The comparable group has an average of 6,154,847 shares outstanding compared to 2,200,000 shares outstanding for the Corporation based on the midpoint valuation.

Based on the average market capitalization, shares outstanding and daily trading volume of the comparable group, we have concluded that a moderate downward adjustment to the Corporation’s pro forma market value is warranted relative to the liquidity of its stock.

MANAGEMENT

The chairman of the board is Gary Clay who joined the Bank in 1977. He has served as chairman of the board since 2019. Mr. Clay joined the Bank in 1977 and served as president and CEO from 2006 to 2019. His extensive community banking experience and knowledge of Van Wert Federal’s business and market area provides the board of directors with valuable insight into the business of Van Wert Federal.

57

Management (cont.)

Mr. Mark K. Schumm, age 50, joined Van Wert Federal in 2007. He is currently president and chief executive officer, positions he has held since 2019. The Bank is now seeking a new president and chief executive officer, and Mr. Schumm will become the new chief operating officer and chief risk officer.

Ms. Kylee Moody, age 40, has served as treasurer and chief financial officer of Van Wert Federal since 2015 and joined the Bank in 2012.

Mr. George R. Scott, III has served as vice president and senior lending officer since joining Van Wert Federal in 2017. He is the son-in-law of Mr. Clay.

During its two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent six months, Van Wert Federal has experienced a decrease in its net interest spread and experienced a lower level of core noninterest income. The Bank experienced lower positive earnings in 2020 and a decrease in 2021 and negative in the six months ended December 31, 2021. The Bank’s asset quality position has remained favorable in 2020 and 2021, and the six months ended December 31, 2021 with nonperforming assets being lower than industry overages. Van Wert Federal’s interest rate risk has been modest, primarily as a result of its higher equity position along with a higher share of fixed-rate one- to four-family mortgage loans of 66.3 percent of total loans. The Bank’s core earnings and core return on assets have been below industry averages, along with its net interest margin, impacted by a lower yield on earning assets. Management is confident that the Bank is positioned for rising earnings following its conversion, with plans to employ a new chief executive officer in the next few months.

Overall, we believe the Bank to be professionally and knowledgeably managed, as are the comparable group institutions. It is our opinion that no adjustment to the pro forma market value of the Corporation is warranted for management.

58

MARKETING OF THE ISSUE

The necessity to build a new issue discount into the stock price of a new conversion continues to be a closely examined issue in recognition of uncertainty among investors as a result of the thrift industry's continued high level of competition, dependence on interest rate trends, volatility in the stock market, speculation on future changes, current legislation related to the regulation of financial institutions, and their restrictions to generating selected income.

We believe that a new issue discount applied to the price to book valuation approach is appropriate and necessary in this offering, recognizing the Bank’s volatile earnings. In our opinion, recent market trends cause us to conclude that a moderate new issue discount is warranted in the case of this offering. Consequently, at this time we have made a moderate downward adjustment to the Corporation's pro forma market value related to a new issue discount.

59

VI. VALUATION APPROACH, METHODS AND CONCLUSION

Valuation Approach

Historically, the most frequently used method for determining the pro forma market value of common stock for thrift institutions by this firm has been the price to book value ratio method, due to the volatility of earnings in the thrift industry. As earnings in the thrift industry have improved, more emphasis has been placed on the price to earnings method, particularly considering increases in stock prices during these last two years. However, as provisions for loan losses decreased significantly and became negative for some, the price to book value method continues to be pertinent and meaningful in the objective of discerning commonality and comparability among institutions. In determining the pro forma market value of the Corporation, primary emphasis has been placed on the price to book value method, with additional analytical and correlative attention to the price to earnings method and the price to assets method.

In recognition of the volatility and variance in earnings, the continued differences in asset and liability repricing and the frequent disparity in value between the price to book approach and the price to earnings approach, a third valuation method, the price to net assets method, has also been used. The price to assets method is used less often for valuing ongoing institutions, but becomes more useful in valuing converting institutions when the equity position and earnings performance of the institutions under consideration are different.

In addition to the pro forma market value, we have defined a valuation range with the minimum of the range being 85.0 percent of the pro forma market value, the maximum of the range being 115.0 percent of the pro forma market value and the super maximum being 115.0 percent of the maximum. The pro forma market value or appraised value will also be referred to as the “midpoint value.”

60

Introduction (cont.)

In applying each of the valuation methods, consideration was given to the adjustments to the Bank's pro forma market value discussed in Section V. Downward adjustments were made for the Bank’s earnings, liquidity of the stock, dividend, subscription interest, asset, loan and deposit growth, marketing of the issue and market area. No adjustments were made for the Bank’s management and financial condition.

61

PRICE TO BOOK VALUE METHOD

In the valuation of thrift institutions, the price to book value method focuses on an institution's financial condition, and does not give as much consideration to the institution's long term performance and value as measured by earnings. Due to the earnings volatility of many thrift stocks, the price to book value method is frequently used by investors who rely on an institution's financial condition rather than earnings performance. Although this method is, under certain circumstances, considered somewhat less meaningful for institutions that provide a consistent earnings trend, it remains significant and reliable when an institution’s performance or general economic conditions are experiencing volatile or uncustomary trends related to internal or external factors, and serves as a complementary and correlative analysis to the price to earnings and price to assets approaches.

The pro forma equity used in the valuation was $22,833,000, which is based on the Bank’s December 31, 2021, equity level, which is based on the Bank’s actual equity of $25,252,000 less the after-tax cost of $2,419,000 for the Bank to withdraw from its defined benefit plan. The Bank’s tangible equity was an identical $22,833,000.

Exhibit 43 shows the average and median price to book value ratios for the comparable group which were 99.61 percent and 99.91 percent, respectively. The full comparable group indicated a moderate pricing range, from a low of 83.21 percent (Prudential Bancorp) to a high of 117.90 percent (Cincinnati Bancorp). The comparable group had higher average and median price to tangible book value ratios of 104.62 percent and 106.19 percent, respectively, with a range of 87.06 percent to 127.35 percent. Excluding the low and the high in the group, the comparable group's price to book value ratio range narrowed to a low of 87.06 percent and a high of 111.69 percent, and the comparable group’s price to tangible book value ratio range also narrowed modestly from a low of 87.56 percent to a high of 114.61 percent.

62

Price to Book Value Method (cont.)

Considering the foregoing factors in conjunction with the adjustments made in Section V, we have determined a fully converted pro forma price to book value ratio of 54.38 percent and a price to tangible book value ratio of 54.38 percent at the midpoint. The price to book value ratio increases from 49.80 percent at the minimum to 62.27 percent at the super maximum, while the price to tangible book value ratio increases from 49.80 percent at the minimum to 62.27 percent at the super maximum.

The Corporation's pro forma price to book value and price to tangible book value ratios of 54.38 percent and 54.38 percent, respectively, as calculated using the prescribed formulary computation indicated in Exhibit 42, are influenced by the Bank's capitalization, asset quality position, earnings performance, ESOP level, local market and public interest, as well as subscription interest in thrift stocks and overall market and economic conditions. The Corporation's ratio of equity to assets after conversion at the midpoint of the valuation range will be approximately 25.90 percent compared to 12.45 percent for the comparable group (reference Exhibit 43). Based on the price to book value ratio and the Bank's total pro forma equity of $22,833,000 at December 31, 2021, the indicated pro forma market value of the Corporation using this approach is $22,000,000 at the midpoint, including 20,000 shares to be issued to the newly formed foundation (reference Exhibit 42).

63

PRICE TO CORE EARNINGS METHOD

The foundation of the price to core earnings method is the determination of the core earnings based to be used, followed by the calculation of an appropriate price to core earnings multiple. The Corporation’s after tax core earnings for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, were $244,000 (reference Exhibit 7) and its net earnings were $35,000 for that period. Due to a low level of earnings and resultant very high price to earnings multiple, it was deemed appropriate not to use this price to core earnings approach and deem it not meaningful.

Due to the importance of recognizing the earnings position of the comparable group and the industry, we will discuss these performance measures in the industry and with the comparable group. As indicated in Exhibit 42, the average price to core earnings multiple for the comparable group was 18.18, while the median was a lower 15.51. The average price to net earnings multiple was 16.87, and the median multiple was 13.42. The range of the price to core earnings multiple for the comparable group was from a low of 8.04 to a high of 34.71. The range in the price to core earnings multiple for the comparable group, excluding the high and low ranges, was from a low multiple of 10.39 to a high of 29.23 times earnings for eight of the ten institutions in the group, indicating a modest narrowing of the range. For all thrifts, the average price to core earnings multiple was 14.00 with a median of 12.58 and a higher 21.11 average for Ohio thrifts with a median of a much lower 10.51.

PRICE TO ASSETS METHOD

The final valuation method is the price to assets method. This method is not frequently used, since the calculation incorporates neither an institution's equity position nor its earnings base. Additionally, the prescribed formulary computation of value using the pro forma price to assets method does not recognize the runoff of deposits concurrently allocated to the purchase of conversion stock, returning a pro forma price to assets ratio below its true level following conversion.

64

Price to Assets Method (cont.)

Exhibit 43 indicates that the average price to assets ratio for the comparable group was 12.63 percent and the median was 9.93 percent. The range in the price to assets ratios for the comparable group varied from a low of 8.32 percent (WVS Financial Corp.) to a high of 23.36 percent (FFBW Inc.). The range narrows modestly with the elimination of the two extremes in the group to a low of 8.88 percent and a high of 18.87 percent.

Consistent with the previously noted adjustments, it is our opinion that an appropriate price to assets ratio for the Corporation is 14.09 percent at the midpoint, which ranges from a low of 12.20 percent at the minimum to 17.91 percent at the super maximum. Based on the Bank's December 31, 2021, asset base of $138,553,000, the indicated pro forma market value of the Corporation using the price to assets method is $22,000,000 at the midpoint (reference Exhibit 41).

65

VALUATION CONCLUSION

Exhibit 48 provides a summary of the valuation premium or discount for each of the valuation ranges when compared to the comparable group based on each of the fully converted valuation approaches. At the midpoint value, the price to book value ratio of 54.38 percent for the Corporation represents a discount of 45.41 percent relative to the comparable group and decreases to a discount of 37.49 percent at the super maximum. The price to assets ratio of 14.09 percent at the midpoint represents a premium of 11.56 percent, increasing to a premium of 41.81 percent at the super maximum. The price to core earnings multiple was not meaningful for the Corporation.

It is our opinion that as of February 18, 2022, the pro forma market value of the Corporation is $22,000,000 at the midpoint, representing 2,200,000 shares at $10.00 per share, including 20,000 shares to be issued to the newly formed foundation. The pro forma valuation range of the Corporation is from a minimum of $18,700,000 or 1,870,000 shares at $10.00 per share to a maximum of $25,300,000 or 2,530,000 shares at $10.00 per share, and then to a super maximum of $29,095,000 or 2,909,500 shares at $10.00 a share, with such range being defined as 15 percent below the appraised value to 15 percent above the appraised value and then 15 percent above the maximum.

The appraised value of VWF Bancorp, Inc., as of February 18, 2022, is $22,000,000 at the midpoint.

After working two years as an examiner, Mr. Keller entered Ohio State University full time to obtain his M.B.A. in Finance.

Mr. Keller then worked as an associate for a management consulting firm specializing in services to financial institutions immediately after receiving his M.B.A. During his eight years with the firm, he specialized in mergers and acquisitions, branch acquisitions and sales, branch feasibility studies, stock valuations, charter applications, and site selection analyses.
