Other Financial Highlights:
Total assets decreased $30.0 million, or 3.3%, to $875.0 million at June 30, 2026 from $904.9 million at December 31, 2025, due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, securities and loans.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $5.7 million, or 16.0%, to $29.9 million at June 30, 2026 from $35.6 million at December 31, 2025 as excess funds from increased borrowings, security maturities and loan payments were used to offset deposit outflows.
Securities decreased $17.7 million, or 11.2%, to $140.4 million at June 30, 2026 from $158.1 million at December 31, 2025 due to principal repayments of mortgage-backed securities and maturities of corporate bonds.
Net loans decreased $10.3 million, or 1.6%, to $637.3 million at June 30, 2026 from $647.6 million at December 31, 2025, primarily due to decreases in residential mortgages, commercial and construction loans, offset by an increase in multi-family real estate loans.
Total deposits at June 30, 2026 were $574.2 million, decreasing $78.2 million, or 12.0%, compared to $652.4 million at December 31, 2025, due to a $91.4 million decrease in certificates of deposit of which $10.8 million represented a decrease in brokered deposits. The decrease was offset by a $10.9 million increase in savings accounts and a $2.3 million increase in non-interest-bearing accounts. The average rate on deposits decreased 34 basis points to 3.10% for the first two quarters of 2026 from 3.50% from comparable period a year ago, which was due to lower interest rates and average balances of certificates of deposit.
Federal Home Loan Bank (the "FHLB") advances increased $47.7 million, or 51.1% to $141.0 million at June 30, 2026 from $93.3 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase in borrowings was largely attributable to the outflow of deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Kevin Pace, President and Chief Executive Officer, said "We were pleased to announce our entry into an agreement to acquire GSL Bank this quarter. This transaction will allow us to expand and acquire a customer base from another longstanding New Jersey institution. We anticipate the ability to grow those relationships by providing greater products and services. We are hopeful that our increased lending capacity will attract those customers and meet the demand not presently met. We also have planned improvements in technology to not only remain competitive, but attractive. We are focused on prudent lending that diversifies our portfolio while maintaining solid credit quality."
"Year over year results have shown improvements in both net income and EPS. Balance sheet management to minimize the exposure to the rate environment remains a strategic goal. We look to continue delivering shareholder value through our current stock buyback and core growth."

This resulted in a $7.9 million decrease in residential loans, a $3.2 million decrease in construction loans and a decrease of $5.1 million of commercial loans, offset by a $6.6 million increase in multi-family loans. Due to the interest rate environment, we have seen a decrease in demand for residential and construction loans, which have been primary drivers of our loan growth in recent periods.

Average Balance Sheets and Related Yields and Rates
The following tables present information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning assets, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting annualized average yields and costs. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Average balances have been calculated using daily balances. Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances only. Loan fees are included in interest income on loans and are not material.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on net interest income. 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 net column represents the sum of the prior columns. Changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionally based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.
