AFFINITY BANCSHARES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Nature of Operations
Affinity Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is a bank holding company, headquartered in Covington, Georgia. The Company has one operating subsidiary, Affinity Bank, National Association (the “Bank”, and formerly named “Affinity Bank”), a national bank, conducting banking activities primarily in Newton County, Georgia and surrounding counties and in Cobb and Fulton Counties, Georgia and surrounding counties, and originating dental practice loans and indirect automobile loans throughout the Southeastern United States. The Bank offers such customary banking services as consumer and commercial checking accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, mortgage, commercial and consumer loans, including indirect automobile loans, money transfers and a variety of other banking services. The Company was incorporated in 2020 to be the successor corporation to Community First Bancshares, Inc., a federal corporation, upon completion of the second-step mutual-to-stock conversion of Community First Bancshares, MHC, the top tier mutual holding company of Community First Bancshares, Inc, the former mid-tier holding company for the Bank.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2025 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods presented. The interim consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year or for any other period.
Use of Estimates
– The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates common to the banking industry that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include, but are not limited to, the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of other real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans and valuation allowances associated with the realization of deferred tax assets, which are based on future taxable income.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policie
s – The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to GAAP and general practices within the banking industry. There have been no material changes or developments in the application of principles or in our evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions or methodologies that we believe to be Critical Accounting Policies as disclosed in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock awards (outstanding stock options), if any.
Presented below are the calculations for basic and diluted earnings per common share.

, these securities are all rated as investment grade and the $
37,000
of allowance for credit losses associated with these securities was calculated using a Moody's report on the cumulative default rates of the corporate issuers. During the

There was
one
security in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months of $
37,000
. There were
46
available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or greater totaling $
6.7
million as of
June 30, 2025
. The unrealized losses on the debt securities arose due to changing interest rates and market conditions and are considered to be temporary because of acceptable investment grades and are reviewed regularly.
Four
of the securities are agency bonds and
five
are U.S. Treasury bonds, so all of these are direct obligations of the U.S. Government. Twenty-five of the securities are mortgage-backed bonds that have the direct or implied backing of the U.S. Government. Three of the bonds are municipal securities and the remaining ten securities are corporate securities that are either trust preferred securities or subordinated debentures where the Bank performs a credit review regularly and such review has raised no concerns.
Debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies, U.S. government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs"), and the U.S. Treasury, including notes and mortgage-backed securities, accounted for the majority of the available-for-sale portfolio as of June 30, 2025, and the Bank expects no credit losses on these securities, given the explicit and implicit guarantees provided by the U.S. federal government. The available-for-sale portfolio also includes corporate securities, which are underwritten as loans with features that are typically found in commercial loans. Accordingly, the Bank monitors the credit quality of these corporate bonds through quarterly credit reviews to determine impairment, if any. The decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and the Bank does not have the intent to sell the U.S. government and agencies debt securities and the corporate securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Bank does not consider impairments on these securities to be credit related as of June 30, 2025.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity at
June 30, 2025, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Maturities of mortgage-backed securities may differ from contractual maturities because

borrowers may have the right to call or prepay certain obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Therefore, these securities are not included in the maturity categories. (in thousands)

The Bank individually evaluates loans meeting a certain threshold for impairment that are on nonaccrual status or are rated substandard (as described below).
Collateral-Dependent Loans
We classify a loan as collateral-dependent when our borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and we expect repayment to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of collateral. Our commercial loans have collateral that is comprised of real estate and business assets. Our consumer loans have collateral that is substantially comprised of residential real estate.
11
AFFINITY BANCSHARES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
There were no significant changes in the extent to which collateral secures our collateral-dependent loans as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
, respectively, and we had $
1.8
million and $
2.0
million, respectively, of collateral-dependent loans without an allowance and
no
collateral-dependent loans with an allowance at
June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025
, there was one commercial (secured by real estate - owner occupied) loan modification to a borrower with financial difficulty for $
1.8
million that was previously modified in third quarter of 2024. The loan modification provided for a six-month period with reduced fixed payments of $
5,000
for the first three months and $
7,500
for the second three months. There were
no
loan modifications to a borrower with financial difficulty during the
three months ended June 30, 2025 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
No
loan modifications made to a borrower with financial difficulty subsequently defaulted during the
three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
The Bank categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current
12
AFFINITY BANCSHARES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
economic trends, among other factors. The Bank analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a continuous basis. The Bank uses the following definitions for its risk ratings:
Special Mention.
Loans have potential weaknesses that may, if not corrected, weaken or inadequately protect the Bank's credit position at some future date. Weaknesses are generally the result of deviation from prudent lending practices, such as over advances on collateral. Credits in this category should, within a 12-month period, move to Pass if improved or drop to Substandard if poor trends continue.
Substandard.
Inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor, or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses such as primary source of repayment is gone or severely impaired or cash flow is insufficient to reduce debt. There is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful.
Loans have the same weaknesses as those classified Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable. The likelihood of a loss on an asset or portion of an asset classified Doubtful is high.
Loss.
Loans considered uncollectible and of such little value that the continuance as a Bank asset is not warranted. This does not mean that the loan has no recovery or salvage value, but rather the asset should be charged off even though partial recovery may be possible in the future.
13
AFFINITY BANCSHARES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be Pass rated loans. As of
June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category and year of origination of loans by class of loans is as follows: (in thousands)

(7) Employee Stock Ownership Plan
The Company sponsors an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) that covers all employees who meet certain service requirements. The Company makes annual contributions to the ESOP in amounts as defined by the plan document. These contributions are used to pay debt service and purchase additional shares. Certain ESOP shares are pledged as collateral for debt. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to active employees, based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year.
In 2017, the ESOP borrowed $
3.0
million payable to the Company for the purpose of purchasing shares of the Company’s common stock. A total of
295,499
shares were purchased with the loan proceeds as part of the Company’s initial stock offering. In 2021, the ESOP borrowed $
3.0
million payable to the Company for the purpose of purchasing additional shares of the Company’s common stock. A total of
225,721
shares were purchased with the loan proceeds as part of the Company’s second stock offering. Total ESOP expense for the
three months ended June 30, 2025
was approximately $
315,000
with $
211,000
of the expense related to the special dividend paid in first quarter of 2025. Total ESOP expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025
was approximately $
632,000
with
$
422,000
of
the expense related to the special dividend paid in first quarter of 2025. Total ESOP expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024
was approximately $
96,000
and $
182,000
. The balance of the note payable of the ESOP was approximately $
4.2
million and $
5.0
million at
June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Because the source of the loan payments is contributions received by the ESOP from the Company, the related note receivable is shown as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
,
122,000
shares had been released.
(8) Stock-Based Compensation
In 2018, shareholders approved the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, which authorizes the issuance of up to

shares of common stock pursuant to restricted stock grants and up to
334,970
shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of options.
In 2022, shareholders approved the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, which authorizes the issuance of up to
148,060
shares of common stock pursuant to restricted stock grants and up to
370,150
shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of options.
A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock option grants, while the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant is used to estimate the fair value of restricted stock awards.

(9) Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. From time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as collateral dependent loans and other real estate owned. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of the lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Additionally, the Company is required to disclose, but not record, the fair value of other financial instruments.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
18
AFFINITY BANCSHARES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Following are descriptions of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale
Available-for-sale securities are recorded at market value. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, and U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored enterprises and state, county and municipal bonds. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.
Other Investments
The carrying value of other investments includes FHLB stock and First National Bankers Bank stock and approximates fair value.
Loans
The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis, unless a loan is considered collateral dependent and a specific reserve may be required to be established within the allowance for credit losses. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered individually evaluated. Once a loan is identified as collateral dependent, management measures impairment in accordance with GAAP. The fair value of collateral dependent loans is estimated using one of three methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, and discounted cash flows. Those collateral dependent loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceeds the recorded investments in such loans. In accordance with GAAP, collateral dependent loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price, the Company records the collateral dependent loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is used or an appraisal is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the collateral dependent loan as nonrecurring Level 3. For disclosure purposes, the fair value of fixed rate loans which are not considered collateral dependent is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. For non collateral dependent variable rate loans, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value for disclosure purposes.
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned properties are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to other real estate. Subsequently, other real estate assets are carried at fair value less estimated selling costs. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price, the Bank records the other real estate as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is used or an appraisal is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Bank records the other real estate asset as nonrecurring Level 3.
Deposits
The fair value of savings accounts, interest bearing checking accounts, non-interest bearing checking accounts and market rate checking accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, while the fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which comparable certificates would be issued.
19
AFFINITY BANCSHARES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings
FHLB advances are carried at cost and the fair value is obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Federal Funds
Purchased are carried at cost and because they are overnight funds, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Commitments to Extend Credit
Commitments to extend credit are short-term and, therefore, the carrying value and the fair value are considered immaterial for disclosure.
Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company’s only assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are available-for-sale securities that had fair values of approximately $
40.7
million and $
36.5
million at
June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. They are classified as Level 2.
Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period.
Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the table below as of
June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands).

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on many judgments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include deferred income taxes and premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

•
changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
•
changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of our accounting policies is described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024
Total assets increased $67.0 million, or 7.8%, to $933.8 million at June 30, 2025 from $866.8 million at December 31, 2024, due primarily to increases in loans and cash and cash equivalents.
Gross loans increased $17.0 million, or 2.4%, to $731.1 million at June 30, 2025 from $714.1 million at December 31, 2024. Construction loans increased $5.9 million, or 8.7%, to $73.5 million at June 30, 2025 from $67.6 million at December 31, 2024. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans increased $6.8 million or 4.3%, and consumer installment loans increased $9.2 million or 7.6%. We experienced decreases in residential mortgage loans of $3.5 million or 6.4%, and in nonowner-occupied commercial real estate of $1.5 million or 0.9%.
Total deposits increased $75.9 million, or 11.3%, to $749.3 million at June 30, 2025 from $673.5 million at December 31, 2024, reflecting increases in all deposit types. Demand deposits increased $10.4 million, or 4.6%, and money market and savings accounts increased $32.1 million, or 14.3%, as a result of our business customers' cyclical demands at year-end. Our certificates of deposit include brokered deposits at June 30, 2025, totaling $106.8 million, which had an average life of 18 months and an average interest rate of 4.32%. The loan-to-deposit ratio at June 30, 2025 was 97.6%, as compared to 106.0% at December 31, 2024.
We had $54.0 million of FHLB advances at June 30, 2025, and $54.0 million of FHLB advances and $4.8 million in other borrowings at December 31, 2024.
Stockholders’ equity decreased by $5.0 million, or 3.9%, to $124.1 million at June 30, 2025 compared to $129.1 million at December 31, 2024, primarily due to a special dividend payment in the first quarter of $1.50 per share totaling $8.8 million, as well as $2.1 million in common stock repurchased, offset by net income of $4.0 million during the six months of 2025, ESOP related and
23
stock compensation expense of $1.2 million and a change in unrealized gain on investment securities available-for-sale, net of tax, of $711,000.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
General.
Net income was $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was caused by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in noninterest expenses offset by a decrease in noninterest income.
Interest Income.
Interest income increased $601,000, or 4.9%, to $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $12.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in income from loans, paritally offset by a decrease in income from investment securities. Interest income on loans increased $716,000, or 6.8%, to $11.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Our average balance of loans increased by $46.1 million, or 6.8%, to $728.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $681.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The average balance of loans increased due to steady loan demand.
Interest income on interest-earning deposits and federal funds increased $122,000 to $770,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $648,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The yields we received on these funds decreased to 4.27% from 5.11% due to the continued changes in the interest rate environment
.
The average balance of interest-earning deposits and federal funds increased $21.4 million to $72.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $51.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Interest income on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities decreased $242,000 to $766,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The average balance of securities was $67.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $81.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024
26
Interest Expense.
Interest expense increased $391,000 to $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to increases in the average balances of interest-bearing liabilities.
Interest expense on deposits increased $426,000 to $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The largest increase was in interest expense on certificates of deposits, which increased $291,000 to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The average rate we paid on certificates of deposits decreased 16 basis points to 4.04% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 4.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, due to the continued changes in the interest rate environment, while the average balance increased by $37.2 million to $256.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $218.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Interest expense on borrowings decreased $35,000 to $520,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $555,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, due to a decrease in average borrowings of $9.7 million.
Net Interest Income.
Net interest income before provision for credit losses increased $210,000, or 2.8%, to $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Our net interest rate spread decreased to 2.74% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 2.82% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and our net interest margin decreased to 3.57% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 3.71% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as the yields we earned on our interest-earning assets decreased. Yield on interest bearing assets decreased 11 basis points, outpacing decrease in rate paid on interest bearing liabilities by three basis points.
Provision for Credit Losses.
The provision for credit losses consists of provisions for credit losses for loans and unfunded loan commitments, as well as held-to-maturity securities.
Provisions for credit losses for loans are charged to operations to establish an allowance for credit losses at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses in our loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the consolidated financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for credit losses for loans, management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including, but not limited to, management’s ongoing review and grading of loans, facts and issues related to specific loans, historical loan loss and delinquency experience, trends in past due and non-accrual loans, existing risk characteristics of specific loans or loan pools, the fair value of underlying collateral, current economic conditions and other qualitative and quantitative factors which could affect potential credit losses.
Provisions for credit losses for unfunded commitments are charged to operations to establish an allowance for credit losses for contractual obligations to extend credit. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The estimate is influenced by historical loss experience, adjusted for current risk characteristics, and economic factors.
Provisions for credit losses for held-to-maturity securities are also charged to operations to establish an allowance on a collective basis by major security type. The estimate of expected credit losses for held-to-maturity securities considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
After an evaluation of these factors, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $17,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and a $213,000 provision for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded $75,000 in provision for credit losses for loans, a provision reversal for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $50,000, and a provision reversal for credit losses for held to maturity securities of $8,000 for three months ended June 30, 2025. Our allowance for credit losses was $8.5 million at June 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.17% at June 30, 2025 compared to 1.19% at December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses to non-performing loans was 190.3% at June 30, 2025 compared to 177.9% at December 31, 2024. Net loan recovery was $9,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net loan charge-offs of $134,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all credit losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at June 30, 2025. However, future changes in the factors described above, including, but not limited to, actual loss experience with respect to our loan portfolio, could result in material increases in our provision for credit losses. In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews our allowance for credit losses, and as a result of such reviews, we may have to adjust our allowance for credit losses. However, regulatory agencies are not directly involved in the process of establishing the allowance for credit losses as the process is our responsibility and any increase or decrease in the allowance is the responsibility of management.
27
Noninterest Income.
Noninterest income decreased $166,000, or 23.5%, to $540,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $706,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to a decline in merchant services volume and gain on sale of other real estate that was recorded in prior year.

Other fees decreased by $1.1 million to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, due to a decrease in professional fees. The decrease in professional fees was attributable to costs in the prior year related to a prospective merger transaction that was ultimately not completed.
Income Tax Expense.
We recorded income tax expense of $682,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $311,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate was 24.1% and 23.2% for the respective periods.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
General.
Net income was $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was caused by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in noninterest expenses that were partially offset by a decrease in noninterest income.
Interest Income.
Interest income increased $1.5 million, or 6.3%, to $24.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $23.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to increases in income from loans and interest-earning deposits partially offset by a decrease in income from investment securities. Interest income on loans increased $1.9 million, or 9.3%, to $21.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our average balance of loans increased by $47.7 million, or 7.1%, to $721.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $673.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The average balance of loans increased due to steady loan demand. The average yield on loans increased 14 basis points to 6.11% for the current period, as compared to 5.97% for the prior year period, due to the loans being originated or repricing at higher yields during the current period.
Interest income on interest-earning deposits and federal funds increased $89,000 to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The average balance of interest-earning deposits and federal funds increased $15.4 million to $65.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $50.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as we held excess cash to increase liquidity. The yields we received on these funds decreased to 4.24% from 5.16% due to the continued changes in the interest rate environment.
Interest income on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities increased $469,000 to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The average balance of securities was $66.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $82.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Interest Expense.
Interest expense increased $688,000 to $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
We recognized increases in most categories of interest expense. The largest increase was in interest expense on certificates of deposit, which increased $450,000 to $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The average rate we paid on certificates of deposit decreased 10 basis points to 4.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from 4.19% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to the continued changes in the interest rate environment. In addition, the average balance of certificates of deposit increased $28.2 million to $247.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $219.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as customers increased deposits in higher-yielding accounts due to the current interest rate environment.
We also experienced an increase in interest expense on money market accounts of $163,000 to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 primarily due to increases in average balance of $18.3 million to $161.5 million.
28
Net Interest Income.
Net interest income increased $797,000, or 5.6%, to $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our net interest rate spread increased to 2.70% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from 2.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and our net interest margin stayed at 3.55% for six months ended June 30, 2025 and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Provision for Credit Losses.
The provisions for credit losses consists of provisions for credit losses for loans and unfunded loan commitments, as well as held-to-maturity securities.
After an evaluation of the factors described above, we recorded provisions for credit losses of $67,000 and $213,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded $125,000 in provision for credit losses for loans, a provision reversal for credit losses for unfunded commitments of $50,000 and a provision reversal for credit losses for held to maturity securities of $8,000. Our allowance for credit losses was $8.5 million at June 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.17% at June 30, 2025 compared to 1.19% at December 31, 2024 and 1.22% at June 30, 2024. Net charge-offs were $79,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net charge-offs of $460,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Noninterest Income.
Noninterest income decreased $269,000 to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to a decline in merchant services volume and gain on sale of other real estate that was recorded in prior year.

We recorded income tax expense of $1.3 million with effective tax rate of 24.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $739,000 with effective tax rate of 23.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Management of Market Risk
General.
Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our financial condition and results of operations to changes in market interest rates. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the policy and guidelines approved by our board of directors. We currently utilize a third-party modeling program, prepared on a quarterly basis, to evaluate our sensitivity to changing interest rates, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors.
29
We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk:
•
limiting our reliance on non-core/wholesale funding sources;
•
growing our volume of transaction deposit accounts;
•
increasing our investment securities portfolio, with an average maturity of less than 15 years;
•
diversifying our loan portfolio by adding more commercial-related loans and consumer loans, which typically have shorter maturities and/or balloon payments; and
•
continuing to price our one-to-four family residential real estate loan products in a way that encourages borrowers to select our balloon loans as opposed to longer-term, fixed-rate loans.
By following these strategies, we believe that we are better positioned to react to increases in market interest rates. In addition, we originate adjustable-rate, one-to-four-family residential real estate loans and home equity loans and lines of credit.
We do not engage in hedging activities, such as engaging in futures, options or swap transactions, or investing in high-risk mortgage derivatives, such as collateralized mortgage obligation residual interests, real estate mortgage investment conduit residual interests or stripped mortgage-backed securities.
Net Interest Income.
We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through a net interest income model. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. We estimate what our net interest income would be for a 12-month period. We then calculate what the net interest income would be for the same period under the assumptions that the United States Treasury yield curve increases or decreases instantaneously by 200 and 400 basis point increments, with changes in interest rates representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column below.
The table below sets forth, as of June 30, 2025, the calculation of the estimated changes in our net interest income that would result from the designated immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve.

(1) Assumes an immediate uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.
The table above indicates that at June 30, 2025, in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would have experienced a 1.46% decrease in net interest income, and in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would have experienced a 3.32% decrease
in net interest income. At June 30, 2024, in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would have experienced a 1.59% decrease in net interest income, and in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would have experienced a 3.33% decrease
in net interest income.
30
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurement. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the net interest income table presented assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the net interest income table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on net interest income and will differ from actual results. Furthermore, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates both on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset.
Interest rate risk calculations also may not reflect the fair values of financial instruments. For example, decreases in market interest rates can increase the fair values of our loans, deposits and borrowings.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, proceeds from the sale of loans, and proceeds from maturities of securities. We also have the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. At June 30, 2025, we had a $216.7 million line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, with advances of $54.0 million outstanding and a $13.0 million letter of credit outstanding, and we had a $5.0 million unsecured federal funds line of credit, a $7.5 million unsecured federal funds line of credit, and a $20.0 million unsecured federal funds line of credit. We also had a line of $59.1 million with the Federal Reserve Bank secured by $83.0 million in loans.
While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments including interest-bearing demand deposits. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.
Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Net cash used in investing activities was $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $28.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Net cash used in investing activities typically consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and any purchases of investment securities. Net cash provided by financing activities, which consists primarily of activity in deposit accounts and proceeds/repayments of borrowings and dividends, was $60.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which reflected increases in deposits accounts of $75.9 million, partially offset by dividend payments of $8.8 million, repaying $4.8 million in borrowings, and stock repurchases of $2.1 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $27.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be retained.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations
Commitments.
As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. At June 30, 2025, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $83.3 million. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current lending commitments. Time deposits that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from June 30, 2025 totaled $149.3 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing time deposits will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize FHLB advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.
Contractual Obligations.
In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities.
