Explanatory Note

On January 10, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), Princeton Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”) acquired all of the outstanding stock of The Bank of Princeton, a New Jersey state-chartered bank (the “Bank”), (the “Reorganization”). Pursuant to the Reorganization, the Bank became the sole direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company became the holding company for the Bank and the stockholders of the Bank became stockholders of the Company.

Before the Effective Date, the Bank’s common stock was registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and the Bank was subject to the information requirements of the Exchange Act and, in accordance with Section 12(i) thereof, filed quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). As of the Effective Date, pursuant to Rule 12g-3 under the Exchange Act, the Company is the successor registrant to the Bank, the Company’s common stock is deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has become subject to the information requirements of the Exchange Act and files reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Prior to the Effective Date, the Company conducted no operations other than obtaining regulatory approval for the Reorganization. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the Effective Date, discussions of those financial statements, and market data and all other information presented herein for periods prior to the Effective Date, are those of the Bank.

In this report, unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the Company and the Bank. However, if the discussion relates to a period before the Effective Date, the terms refer only to the Bank.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Operations
The Bank of Princeton (the “Bank”) was incorporated on March 5, 2007 under the laws of the State of New Jersey and is a New Jersey state-chartered banking institution. The Bank was granted its bank charter on April 17, 2007, commenced operations on April 23, 2007 and is a full-service bank providing personal and business lending and deposit services. As a state-chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The area served by the Bank, through its 30 branches, is generally an area within an approximate
50-mile
radius of Princeton, NJ, including parts of Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Ocean, and Somerset Counties in New Jersey, and additional areas in portions of Philadelphia, Montgomery and Bucks Counties in Pennsylvania. The Bank also has three retail branches and conducts loan origination activities in select areas of New York.
The Bank offers traditional retail banking services,
one-to-four-family
residential mortgage loans, multi-family and commercial mortgage loans, construction loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans, including home equity loans and lines of credit.
On January 10, 2023, Princeton Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation formed by the Bank (the “Company”), acquired all the outstanding stock of the Bank in a corporate reorganization. As a result, the Bank became the sole direct subsidiary of the Company, the Company became the holding company for the Bank and the stockholders of the Bank became stockholders of the Company.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had
 
212
total employees and 
209
full-time equivalent employees.
On May 19, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Noah Bank, a Pennsylvania chartered state bank headquartered in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania that primarily served the Philadelphia, North New Jersey and New York City markets. On that date the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock, for cash, of Noah Bank and Noah Bank was merged with and into the Bank.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Bayard Lane, LLC, Bayard Properties, LLC, 112 Fifth Avenue, LLC, TBOP Delaware Investment Company and TBOP REIT, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the FDIC. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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 reporting period. Because of uncertainties associated with estimating the amounts, timing and likelihood of possible outcomes, actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities, and evaluation of the potential impairment of goodwill.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Management believes that the allowance for credit losses is adequate as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. While management uses current information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for credit losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions in the market area or other factors.
In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for credit losses. Such agencies may require the Company to effect certain changes that result in additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Recently issued accounting standards
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No. 2020-04,
“Reference Rate Reform” (Topic 848), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the anticipated transition away from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) toward new interest rate benchmarks. For transactions that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate and the modification will be considered “minor” so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs would carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or
re-measurements
of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts. ASU
2020-04
also provides numerous optional expedients for derivative accounting. ASU
2020-04
is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply ASU
2020-04
for contract modifications as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic within the Codification, the amendments in this ASU must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. We anticipate this ASU will simplify any modifications we execute between the selected start date (yet to be determined) and June 30, 2023 that are directly related to LIBOR transition by allowing prospective recognition of the continuation of the contract, rather than extinguishment of the old contract resulting in writing off unamortized fees/costs. We are evaluating the impacts of this ASU and we do not anticipate any material impacts to the financial statements.
Recently adopted accounting standards
Effective January 1, 2023 the Company adopted the FASB issued ASU
2016-13,
Financial Instruments—Credit Losses,
” (CECL) which amends the Board’s guidance on the impairment of financial instruments, using the modified retrospective method. The amended guidance requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses will represent a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present their net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. The income statement will reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. When determining the allowance, expected credit losses over the contractual term of the financial asset(s) (taking into account prepayments) will be estimated considering relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Upon adoption of the new CECL standard, effective January 1, 2023, the Company recorded a
one-time
decrease, net of tax, in retained earnings of $284 thousand, a reduction to the allowance for credit losses of $301 thousand and an increase in the reserve for unfunded liabilities of $695 thousand.

Note 2 – Business Combinations
On May 19, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Noan Bank, a Pennsylvania chartered state bank headquartered in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania that primarily served the Philadelphia, North New Jersey and New York City markets. On that date the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Noah Bank and Noah Bank was merged with and into the Bank.
In accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company paid $6.00 per share of Noah’s common stock outstanding on the closing date.
The acquisition of Noah Bank was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and consideration transferred were recorded at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition. The $9.7 million below was recorded as a “Bargain Purchase” in
non-interest
income on the Consolidated Statement of Income. This item was not taxable for the recording of income taxes on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
The following table summarizes the purchase price calculation and bargain purchase gain resulting from acquisition:

In addition, the Company recorded a $1.7 million provision for the
non-purchase
credit deteriorated loans in connection with the acquisition.

Note 2 – Business Combinations (continued)
 
While the valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities is substantially complete, fair value estimates related to the assets and liabilities from Noah Bank are subject to adjustment for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information becomes available. Valuations subject to adjustment include, but are not limited to, investments, loans and deposits as management continues to review the estimated fair value and evaluate the assumed tax position. When the valuation is final, any changes to the preliminary valuation could result in adjustments of bargain purchase recorded. The following is a description of the fair value methodologies used to estimate the fair values of major categories of assets acquired.
Cash and due from banks:
The estimated fair values of cash and due from banks approximated their state value.
Investment securities:
The acquired portfolio had a fair value of $6.5 million, primarily consisting of mortgage-backed securities and small business administration securities.
Loans:
The Company recorded $185.9 million of acquired loans that were initially at their fair values as of the date of the acquisition. Fair values for loans were based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considered credit loss and prepayment expectations, market interest rates and other market factors, such as liquidity, from the perspective of a market participant. Loan cash flows were generated on an individual loan basis. The probability of default (“PD”), loss given default (“LGD”), exposure of default and prepayment assumptions are the key factors driving credit losses that are embedded in the estimated cash flows. The Company determined that $37.3 million of the acquired loans were purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) of which $34.5 million were performing and $2.6 million were
non-performing
at the time of the acquisition.
Allowance for credit losses
: The acquisition resulted in the addition of $2.3 million in the allowance for credit losses, including $537 thousand identified for purchase credit deteriorated loans.
Other assets
: The Company acquired $2.5 million of premises and equipment and $10.5 million of operating lease
right-of-use
assets and recorded the assets at fair value.
Time deposits:
Time deposits were valued at the account level based on their remaining maturity dates and comparing the contractual cost of the portfolio to similar instruments. The valuation adjustment of $407 thousand will be accreted to expense over a five-year period.

Note 3 - Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period adjusted to include the effect of outstanding stock options, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method. Shares issued during any period are weighted for the portion of the period they were outstanding.

Note 4 – Investment Securities (concluded)
 
Proceeds from calls and maturities of
available-for-sale
securities amounted to $525 thousand for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, for which there was no gain recorded. Proceeds from calls and maturities of
available-for-sale
securities amounted to $830 thousand for the
six-month
period ended June 30, 2023
for
which there was no gain recorded. There were no sales of securities
available-for-sale
or proceeds from calls for the
six-month
period ended June 30, 2022.
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU
2016-13
and implemented the CECL methodology for allowance for credit losses on its investment securities
available-for-sale.
The new CECL methodology replaces the other-than-temporary impairment model that previously existed. The company did not have a CECL day 1 impact attributable to its investment securities portfolio and did not have an allowance for credit losses on its investment securities available for sale as of June 30, 2023.
The Company’s securities primarily consist of the following types of instruments; U.S. guaranteed mortgage-backed securities, U.S guaranteed agency bonds, state and political subdivision issued bonds, one small business investment company security guaranteed by the U.S. government and a subordinate debenture acquired from Noah Bank. We believe it is reasonable to expect that the securities with a credit guarantee of the U.S. government, will have a
zero-credit
loss. Therefore, no reserve was recorded for U.S. guaranteed securities or bonds at June 30, 2023. The state and political subdivision securities carry a minimum investment rating of A. Some of the smaller municipalities also have insurance to cover the Company in the event of default. Therefore, the Company expects to have a
zero-credit
loss and no reserve was recorded as of June 30, 2023.
At June 30, 2023, the Company’s
available-for-sale
securities portfolio consisted of approximately 219 securities, of which 129
available-for-sale
securities were in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months and 65
available-for-sale
securities were in a loss position for less than twelve months. The
available-for-sale
securities in a loss position for more than twelve months consisted of 81 municipal securities aggregating $23.8 million with a loss of $3.4 million, 44 mortgage-backed
securities-GSE
aggregating $31.5 million with a loss of $6.4 million and four agency securities aggregating $5.2 million with a loss of $1.1 million. The Company does not intend to sell these securities, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Unrealized losses primarily relate to interest rate fluctuations and not credit concerns. No OTTI charges were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
There are no securities pledged as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Note 5 – Loans Receivable (continued)
 
Upon adoption of CECL the Company has elected to use the discounted cash flow methodology in determining the appropriate quantitative adjustments, which projects future losses, based on historical loss data, as part of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) reserve. Qualitative adjustments include and consider changes in national, regional and local economic and business conditions, an assessment of the lending environment, including underwriting standards and other factors affecting credit quality.
The following table presents the components of the allowance for credit losses:

The calculation of the allowance for credit losses does not include any accrued interest receivable. The Company’s policy is to write off any interest not collected after 90 days. During the
six-month
period ending June 30, 2023, the Company wrote off
$228
thousand
 
in accrued interest receivable for loans.
The performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio is also monitored by analyzing the age of the loan receivables by the length of time a recorded payment is past due.

The Company categorizes all 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 and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company evaluates risk ratings on an ongoing basis and assigns one of the following ratings: pass, special mention, substandard and doubtful. The Company engages a third party to review its assessment on a semiannual basis. The Company classifies residential and consumer loans as either performing or nonperforming based on payment
status

At June 30, 2023,
non-performing
assets totaled $9.8 million, an increase of $9.5 million, when compared to the amount at December 31, 2022. This increase was due to the delinquency of a $4.5 million commercial real estate loan after recording a $1.7 million
charge-off,
as well as $2.9 million of construction loans and $2.5 million of
non-performing
loans acquired from Noah Bank. The $1.7 million
charge-off
of the $4.5 million commercial real estate loan’s balance was based on recent third party offers to purchase the note received by the Bank. The property securing this loan is located in New York City.

Fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs. Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.
Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in sales transactions on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective
period-end
and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different from the amounts reported at each
period-end.
The fair value measurement hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level
 1
: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level
 2
: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (continued)
 
Level
 3
: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).
An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisal of the underlying collateral, primarily using comparable sales.
There
were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures:
Investment Securities
The fair value of securities
available-for-sale
(carried at fair value) and
held-to-maturity
(carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.
Level 2 debt securities are valued by a third-party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry and not adjusted by management. Level 2 fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution date, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things.
Level 3 securities are securities with no observable market prices. The SBIC fund’s underlying collateral is valued using prices obtained from pricing vendors or brokers, typically using at least two pricing vendors for the subject or similar securities. When vendor pricing is not available, a fair value is composed of quotes for the subject or quotes for similar securities from broker dealers.
Impaired loans (generally carried at fair value)
Impaired loans carried at fair value are those impaired loans in which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the related loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds, discounted for estimated selling costs or other factors the Company determines will impact collection of proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements
and
Disclosures (concluded)
 
Limitations
The fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.
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. Further, the foregoing estimates may not reflect the actual amount that could be realized if all or substantially all the financial instruments were offered for sale. This is due to the fact that no market exists for a sizable portion of the loan, deposit and
off-balance
sheet instruments.
In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing on and
off-balance
sheet financial instruments without attempting to value anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.
Finally, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be practical due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates which must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. This lack of uniform valuation methodologies introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values.
Note 9 – Leases
Leases (Topic 842) establishes a right of use model that requires a lessee to record a right of use asset (“ROU”) and a lease liability for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The Company is obligated under 26 operating lease agreements for 25 branches and its corporate offices with terms extending through 2039. The Company’s lease agreements include options to renew at the Company’s discretion. The extensions are reasonably certain to be exercised, therefore they were considered in the calculations of the ROU asset and lease liability.
The following table represents the classification of the Company’s right of use and lease liability.

Note 10 – Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible
On May 17, 2019, the Bank acquired five branches which were accounted for under FASB ASC 805,
Business Combinations
.
In accordance with ASC 805, the Bank recorded $8.9 million of goodwill along with $4.2 million of core deposit intangible assets. The intangible assets are related to core deposits and are being amortized over 10 years, using the sum of the year’s digits. For tax purposes, goodwill totaling $8.9 million is tax deductible and will be amortized over 15 years straight line. Except as set forth below, GAAP requires that goodwill be tested for impairment annually (with the annual evaluation occurring on May 31 of each year) or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The reporting unit was determined to be our community banking operations, which is our only operating segment.
ASC Topic
350-20
requires an at least annual review of the fair value of a Reporting Unit that has goodwill in order to determine if it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a Reporting Unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. A qualitative factor test can be performed to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If this qualitative test determines it is not likely that (less than 50% probability) the fair value of the Reporting Unit is less than Carrying Value, then the Company does not have to perform a quantitative test and goodwill can be considered not impaired. After performing the qualitative factor test, the result was the Company determined that a quantitative test would be performed at May 31, 2023, primarily due to the Company’s common stock trading at 68.0% of book value and a reduction in return on assets for the first five months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. Based on the results of the quantitative impairment test the Company’s goodwill was not impaired as of May 31, 2023.

Note 12 – Risk and Uncertainties    
The occurrence of events which adversely affect the global, national and regional economies may have a negative impact on our business. Like other financial institutions, our business relies upon the ability and willingness of our customers to transact business with us, including banking, borrowing and other financial transactions. A strong and stable economy at each of the local, federal and global levels is often a critical component of consumer confidence and typically correlates positively with our customers’ ability and willingness to transact certain types of business with us. Local and global events outside of our control which disrupt the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, United States and/or global economy may therefore negatively impact our business and financial condition.
Government economic programs intended to backstop and bolster the economy through the pandemic, such as the PPP have ended, and the nation’s economy has entered an inflationary phase. The Consumer Price Index has risen at levels not experienced since the 1980s while the labor market remains very tight, contributing additional inflationary pressure. To address the inflation problem, the Federal Reserve has reversed course on its previously accommodative monetary policies and aggressively increased short-term interest rates. These actions are intended to slow overall economic activity and risk entering the economy into a recession. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has exacerbated pandemic-related supply chain issues, upset numerous global markets including energy and certain raw materials, and generally added to economic uncertainty and geopolitical instability. Any or all could have negative downstream effects on the Company’s operating results, the extent of which is indeterminable at this time.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The Company may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements,” including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in its reports to stockholders and in other communications by the Company (including this press release), which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions that are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are beyond the Company’s control). The most significant factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements include the ongoing impact of higher inflation levels, higher interest rates and general economic and recessionary concerns, all of which could impact economic growth and could cause a reduction in financial transactions and business activities, including decreased deposits and reduced loan originations, our ability to manage liquidity in a rapidly changing and unpredictable market, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and additional interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following factors: the impact of any future pandemics or other natural disasters; civil unrest, rioting, acts or threats of terrorism, or actions taken by the local, state and Federal governments in response to such events, which could impact business and economic conditions in our market area, the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company and Bank conduct operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; market volatility; the value of the Bank’s products and services as perceived by actual and prospective customers, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors’ products and services; the willingness of customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Bank’s products and services; credit risk associated with the Bank’s lending activities; risks relating to the real estate market and the Bank’s real estate collateral; the impact of changes in applicable laws and regulations and requirements arising out of our supervision by banking regulators; other regulatory requirements applicable to the Company and the Bank; and the timing and nature of the regulatory response to any applications filed by the Company and the Bank; technological changes; acquisitions including the Company’s acquisition of Noah; difficulties and delays in integrating the businesses of Noah and the Bank or fully realizing cost savings and other benefits; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; those risks under the heading “Risk Factors” set forth in the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in Part II, Item 1A of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter-ended March 31, 2023, and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company, except as required by applicable law or regulation.

Economy

The US economy is showing signs of stress with inflation hitting a 40-year high, an increase in energy prices, specifically home-heating costs, higher interest rates set by the Federal Open Market Committee (impacting the real estate market) and uncertainties resulting from Russia’s war with Ukraine. However, the unemployment rate in New Jersey is below the national average.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022

General

Total assets were $1.84 billion at June 30, 2023, an increase of $241.2 million, or 15.1% when compared to $1.60 billion at the end of 2022. The primary reason for the increase in total assets was the acquisition of Noah Bank on May 19, 2023, which had approximately $239.4 million in assets at closing. When looking at specific components of the balance sheet, including acquired assets, the Company recorded an increase in net loans of $129.3 million, an increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $89.7 million, an increase in its right of use asset of $7.3 million, an increase of $4.9 million due to Noah Bank’s deferred tax assets and an increase in other assets of $2.5 million. The increase in the Company’s net loans consisted of a $149.4 million increase in commercial real estate loans and a $17.2 million increase in commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by a decrease of $33.9 million in construction loans.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents increased $89.7 million, or 168.0%, to $143.0 million at June 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to a reduction in total loans of $58.5 million, not including the loans acquired in connection with the Noah transaction, and an increase in outstanding deposits of approximately $33.5, not including the deposits assumed from the Noah acquisition. The reduction in loans was related to loan payoffs during the period.

Investment securities

Total available-for-sale investment securities increased slightly to $87.2 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $83.4 million at December 31, 2022. This increase was primarily the result of approximately $6.5 million added to the available-for-sale securities portfolio due to the Noah acquisition.

Loans

Loans, net of deferred loan fees, increased $129.3 million to $1.50 billion at June 30, 2023 compared to $1.37 billion at December 31, 2022, or 9.4%. This increase was primarily due to the $186.0 million of loans acquired from Noah Bank, partially offset by payoffs and principal repayments. Including the loans acquired, the following changes occurred within individual loan segments: increases in commercial real estate loans of $149.4 million and commercial and industrial loans of $17.2 million, partially offset by a $33.9 million decrease in construction loans.

Net charge-offs for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 were $1.8 million for both periods. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, the Bank recorded net recoveries of $12 thousand and $46 thousand, respectively. With the adoption of CECL, the Bank recorded a one-time decrease, net of tax, in retained earnings of $284 thousand, a reduction to the allowance for credit losses of $301 thousand and an increase in the reserve for unfunded liabilities of $695 thousand. During the second quarter of 2023, the Bank reduced the reserve for unfunded liabilities by $240 thousand. The coverage ratio of the allowance for credit losses to period end loans was 1.20% at both June 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022.

At June 30, 2023, non-performing assets totaled $9.8 million, an increase of $9.5 million, when compared to the amount at December 31, 2022. This increase was due to the delinquency of a $4.5 million commercial real estate loan after recording a $1.7 million charge-off, as well as $2.9 million of construction loans and $2.5 million of other non-performing loans acquired from Noah Bank. The $1.7 million charge-off of the $4.5 million commercial real estate loan’s balance was based on recent third party offers to purchase the note received by the Bank. The property securing this loan is located in New York City. Management took a conservative approach and reduced the loan balance although no formal commitment had been executed as of this date.

With the adoption of CECL, performing troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) are no longer reported for the current period. At December 31, 2022 there were three loans classified as TDR loans totaling $5.9 million and each of these loans was performing in accordance with the agreed-upon terms.

Deferred Taxes

Deferred taxes increased $5.1 million at June 30, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to purchase accounting entries and net operating loss carryforwards related to the Noah acquisition.

Deposits

Total deposits at June 30, 2023 increased $225.2 million, or 16.7%, when compared to December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to $191.7 million of deposits assumed from Noah Bank. When comparing deposit products, including deposits assumed, between the two periods, certificates of deposit increased $277.4 million and money market deposits increased $38.2 million. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in interest-bearing demand deposits of $45.4 million and savings deposits of $38.0 million.

At June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $393.9 million in uninsured deposits, consisting of $59.0 million in non-interest-bearing demand deposits, $3.7 million in interest-bearing demand deposits, $244.2 million in money market accounts, $19.5 million in savings deposits and $67.5 million in certificates of deposits.

Borrowings

The Company had no outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2023 compared to $10.0 million at December 31, 2022.                

Stockholders’ equity

Total stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2023 increased $9.3 million or 4.2% when compared to the end of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the $8.8 million increase in retained earnings, consisting of $12.9 million in net income partially offset by $3.8 million of cash dividends recorded during the period. The ratio of equity to total assets at June 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022, was 12.4% and 13.7%, respectively. The current period ratio decrease was primarily due to the Noah Bank acquisition.

Liquidity

Our liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal repayments of securities and outstanding loans, and funds provided from operations. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earnings assets such as overnight deposits or U.S. agency securities, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, general interest rates, economic conditions and competition greatly influence deposit flows and repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities.

As a member of the FHLB we are eligible to borrow funds in an aggregate amount of up to 50% of the Company’s total assets, subject to its collateral requirements. Based on available eligible securities and qualified real estate loan collateral, and a $60.0 million line of credit with the FHLB supporting municipal deposits, the Company had the ability to borrow $181.4 million as of June 30, 2023.

The Company is also a shareholder of Atlantic Community Bancshares, Inc., the parent company of Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”). As of June 30, 2023, the Company had available borrowing capacity with ACBB of $10.0 million to provide short-term liquidity generally for a period of not more than fourteen days. No amounts were outstanding under our line of credit with ACBB at June 30, 2023.

We believe that our current sources of funds provide adequate liquidity for our current cash flow needs.

Capital Resources

Regulatory Capital Requirements. Federally insured, state-chartered non-member banks are required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital. Current FDIC capital standards require these institutions to satisfy a common equity Tier 1 capital requirement and a Tier 1 capital requirement, a leverage capital requirement and a risk-based capital requirement.

In addition, in order to make capital distributions and pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers without restriction, an institution must also maintain additional common equity in excess of the minimum requirements. This excess is referred to as a capital conservation buffer. At June 30, 2023, the required capital conservation buffer is 2.50%.

Under the risk-based capital requirements, “total” capital (a combination of core and “supplementary” capital) must equal at least 8.0% of “risk-weighted” assets. The FDIC also is authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual institutions on a case-by-case basis. Management believes, as of June 30, 2023, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject and is “well capitalized” under applicable regulations.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

General

The Company reported net income of $6.8 million, or $1.07 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2023, compared to net income of $6.3 million, or $0.98 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2022. The increase in net income for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to an increase of $10.5 million in non-interest income and a $1.5 million decrease in income tax expense, partially offset by an $8.4 million increase in non-interest expense, a $2.5 million increase in the provision for credit losses and a $626 thousand decrease in net interest income.

Interest income

Interest income increased $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Interest income on loans increased $4.7 million due to increases in both the average balance of loans of $40.7 million and the yield of 118 basis points. Other interest and dividend income increased $761 thousand due to an increase in the yield of 432 basis points, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of $3.0 million, and interest on taxable available-for-sale securities increased $58 thousand due to an increase in yield of 70 basis points, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of $3.9 million.

Interest expense

Interest expense on deposits increased $6.2 million to $7.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, due to increases in both the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits of 203 basis points and in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $52.9 million over the same prior year period.

Interest expense on borrowings was $32 thousand during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 and there was no interest expense on borrowings during the same period in 2022.

Provision for credit losses

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and no provision for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The provision of $2.5 million recorded in the current quarter consisted of $2.7 million associated with the Company’s loan portfolio offset by a credit to the provision of $240 thousand associated with unfunded commitments. Included in the Company’s provision was $1.7 million related to non-purchased credit deteriorated loans resulting from the Noah Bank acquisition. Net charge-offs during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 were $1.8 million.

Non-interest income

Total non-interest income of $11.6 million for the second quarter of 2023 increased $10.5 million, or by 940.0%, when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The increase over the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to the $9.7 million gain on bargain purchase from the Noah Bank acquisition.

Non-interest expense

Total non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2023 increased $8.4 million, or 88.9%, when compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was primarily due to $7.0 million of acquisition-related expenses associated with the Noah transaction as well as increases in salaries and employee benefits of $868 thousand, occupancy and equipment expenses of $276 thousand and data processing and communications of $262 thousand.

Provision for income taxes

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $161 thousand, resulting in an effective tax rate of 2.3%, compared to an income tax expense of $1.6 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.6% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate for the current period was substantially reduced as a result of the non-taxable bargain purchase gain related to the Noah acquisition.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

General

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded net income of $12.9 million, or $2.02 per diluted common share, compared to $12.3 million, or $1.89 per diluted common share for the same period in 2022. Net income increased $537 thousand due to an increase in non-interest income of $10.8 million, a reduction in income tax expense of $1.2 million and an increase in net interest income of $181 thousand, partially offset by increases in non-interest expense of $8.9 million and provision for credit losses of $2.7 million.

Interest income

Interest income increased $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Interest income on loans increased $8.2 million due to increases in both the average balance and yield earned on loans of $35.0 and 105 basis points, respectively. Interest on other interest and dividend income increased $857 thousand due to an increase in yield of 465 basis points, partially offset by a reduction in the average balance of $56.5 million. Interest on taxable available-for-sale securities increased $113 thousand due to an 80 basis point increase in yield and partially offset by a $6.9 million decrease in the average balance of taxable available-for-sale securities.

Interest expense

Interest expense on deposits increased $8.8 million to $11.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, due primarily to a 156 basis point increase in the rate on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $11.5 million over the same prior-year period.

Interest expense on borrowings was not significant during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Provision for credit losses

The Company recorded a $2.7 million provision for credit losses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 and recorded no provision for credit losses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. The $2.7 million provision for the six months ended June 30, 2023 includes $1.7 million related to non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Noah Bank acquisition and was also a result of loan charge-offs of $1.8 million recorded during the period. See the section titled “Financial Condition —Allowance for Loan Losses” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a discussion of our allowance for credit losses methodology, including additional information regarding the determination of the provision for credit losses.

Non-interest income

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, non-interest income increased $10.8 million or 499.6%, from the same six-month period in 2022, primarily due to the $9.7 million bargain purchase gain from the Noah acquisition and an increase of $983 thousand in loan fees.

Non-interest expense

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, non-interest expense was $27.6 million, compared to $18.7 million for the same period in 2022. This increase was primarily due to acquisition-related expenses of $7.0 million and increases in salaries and employee benefits of $1.4 million and data processing and communications of $527 thousand associated with the Bank’s expansion strategy.

Provision for income taxes

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, the Bank recorded an income tax expense of $2.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 13.8%, compared to an income tax expense of $3.3 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.9% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate was substantially reduced as a result of the non-taxable bargain purchase gain related to the Noah acquisition.

How We Manage Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk which is inherent in our lending, investment and deposit gathering activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages interest rate risk exposure. In addition to market risk, our primary risk is credit risk on our loan portfolio. We attempt to manage credit risk through our loan underwriting and oversight policies.

The principal objective of our interest rate risk management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk embedded in certain balance sheet accounts, determine the level of risk appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements and performance objectives, and manage the risk consistent with approved guidelines. We seek to manage our exposure to risks from changes in interest rates while at the same time trying to improve our net interest spread. We monitor interest rate risk as such risk relates to our operating strategies. We have established an Asset/Liability Committee which is comprised of both Management and members of the Board of Directors. The Asset/Liability Committee meets on a regular basis and is responsible for reviewing our asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position. Both the extent and direction of shifts in interest rates are uncertainties that could have a negative impact on future earnings.

Table of Contents

Gap Analysis. The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest rate sensitive” and by monitoring the Company’s interest rate sensitivity “gap.” An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to affect adversely net interest income while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap would tend to affect adversely net interest income.

The table on the next page sets forth the amounts of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at June 30, 2023, which we expect, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown (the “GAP Table”). Except as stated below, the amounts of assets and liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in accordance with the earlier of term to repricing or the contractual maturity of the asset or liability. The table sets forth an approximation of the projected repricing of assets and liabilities at June 30, 2023, based on contractual maturities, anticipated prepayments, and scheduled rate adjustments within a three-month period and subsequent selected time intervals. The loan amounts in the table reflect principal balances expected to be redeployed and/or repriced as a result of contractual amortization and anticipated prepayments of adjustable-rate loans and fixed-rate loans, and as a result of contractual rate adjustments on adjustable-rate loans.

(3)

Interest-rate sensitivity gap represents the difference between total interest-earning assets and total interest-bearing liabilities.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, 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. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates both on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate loans may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

Net Portfolio Value Analysis. Our interest rate sensitivity also is monitored by management through the use of a model which generates estimates of the changes in our net portfolio value (“NPV”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPV is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. The NPV ratio, under any interest rate scenario, is defined as the NPV in that scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. The following table sets forth our NPV as of June 30, 2023 and reflects the changes to NPV as a result of immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as indicated.

(100)   $ 321,387      $ (292     -0.09     0.24     1.39

As is the case with the GAP Table, certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPV require the making of certain assumptions which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the models presented assume 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 also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the NPV model provides an indication of interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such model is not intended to and does not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on net interest income and will differ from actual results.
