CEO COMMENTARY
Richard J. O’Neil, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased to report on another quarter of strong financial performance, reflecting the continued success of our disciplined approach to community banking and the dedication of our employees. These results demonstrate the strength of our franchise and our ability to grow and expand our footprint profitably in a competitive environment. As we look ahead, we remain focused on supporting our customers and communities, preparing for our planned expansion into the Medford market through the upcoming opening of our new branch, and building on our momentum through continued growth in loans, deposits, and customer relationships."
BALANCE SHEET
Total assets were $1.67 billion at June 30, 2026, as compared to $1.65 billion at March 31, 2026, or an increase of $21.2 million, or 1.3%.
Cash and cash equivalents were $124.0 million at June 30, 2026, as compared to $111.3 million at March 31, 2026, or an increase of $12.7 million, or 11.4%. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was driven by an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances that exceeded growth in the loan portfolio for the quarter.
Interest-earning time deposits were $14.2 million at June 30, 2026, as compared to $11.5 million at March 31, 2026, or an increase of $2.7 million, or 23.9%. This increase was due to purchases of new short-term interest-earning time deposits.
Investments in securities available for sale were $40.1 million at June 30, 2026, as compared to $37.1 million at March 31, 2026, or an increase of $3.0 million, or 8.1%. This increase was due to purchases of new securities.
Investments in securities held to maturity were $50.5 million at June 30, 2026, as compared to $51.6 million at March 31, 2026, or a decrease of $1.2 million, or 2.3%. This decrease was due to maturities and principal paydowns of securities.
Total gross loans were $1.404 billion at June 30, 2026, as compared to $1.402 billion at March 31, 2026, or an increase of $1.5 million, or 0.1%. Loan production remained solid during the quarter, however, gross originations were largely offset during the quarter by higher than normal loan payoffs and loan sales.

Total shareholders' equity was $179.9 million as of June 30, 2026, as compared to $175.9 million as of March 31, 2026, or an increase of $4.0 million, or 2.2%. This increase is primarily the result of earnings of $3.3 million and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") of $856,000. The increase in AOCI was driven by an increase in the fair value of cash flow hedges. Our book value per share increased by $0.51 to $20.56 at June 30, 2026 from $20.05 at March 31, 2026.
NET INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME
Net interest and dividend income before provision for credit losses was $10.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $9.8 million for the prior quarter, representing an increase of $201,000, or 2.0%. The increase was primarily driven by higher average loan balances and higher average short-term investment balances, partially offset by an increase in the average interest-bearing deposit balances and FHLB advances. The resulting net interest margin decreased 4 basis points to 2.45% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 as compared to 2.49% for the prior quarter. The linked-quarter decrease was largely attributable to lower loan prepayment fee income relative to the first quarter, which had benefited from elevated loan prepayment fees. The provision for credit losses was $61,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $153,000 for the prior quarter. The lower provision primarily reflected lower loan growth in the second quarter as well as lower reserve requirements, reflecting the continued strong credit quality of the portfolio. This was partially offset by higher provision for off balance sheet commitments due to higher levels of loan commitments for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the prior quarter. The combination of these items resulted in net interest and dividend income after provision for credit losses of $10.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $9.7 million for the prior quarter, or an increase of $293,000, or 3.0%.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income was $304,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $327,000 for the prior quarter, or a decrease of $23,000, or 7.0%. This was driven by lower net gains on loan sales.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense was $5.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $5.7 million for the prior quarter, or an increase of $67,000, or 1.2%. Advertising and promotions expenses were $317,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $198,000 for the prior quarter, or an increase of $119,000, or 60.1%. The increase was primarily driven by the engagement of a new marketing firm as part of the Company's efforts to enhance its brand presence, expand marketing initiatives, and support long-term business development objectives. Professional fees were $248,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $447,000 for the prior quarter, or a decrease of $199,000, or 44.5%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower consulting and professional service expenses during the second quarter, as the prior quarter included elevated audit-related fees and consulting expenses associated with various strategic and operational initiatives.
INCOME TAXES
We recorded a provision for income tax expense of $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared to a provision for income tax expense of $1.1 million for the prior quarter, reflecting effective tax rates of 27.0% and 26.8%, respectively.
ASSET QUALITY
Asset quality remains strong. The allowance for credit losses on loans in total and as a percentage of total loans as of June 30, 2026 was $10.2 million and 0.73%, respectively, as compared to $10.4 million and 0.74%, respectively, as of March 31, 2026. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded $2,000 in net charge offs, as compared to $0 for the prior quarter. Total non-performing assets were $1.5 million, or 0.09%, of total assets as of June 30, 2026, as compared to $1.2 million, or 0.07%, of total assets as of March 31, 2026.
