. Net Consolidated Earnings:
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, was $358 thousand. This result was significantly impacted by higher Other expenses, which rose from $2.90 million in Q3 2024 to $3.47 million in Q3 2025, primarily due to costs associated with the anticipated merger with QNB related to the definitive agreement that was signed in September 2025. The merger expenses for the quarter were $374 thousand.
In contrast, net interest income-the bank's primary source of earnings-increased from $3.46 million in Q3 2024 to $3.70 million in Q3 2025.
Return on average assets decreased to 0.29%, down from 0.50% in Q3 2024. Return on average equity declined to 4.57%, compared to 9.07% in the previous quarter and 8.14% a year earlier. However, excluding merger-related expenses, ROE would have been 8.07%.
. Deposit Growth:
The bank opened a new branch in spring 2025 in the Horsham market. This new location contributed to the growth in deposits in Q3. Total deposits grew to $436.74 million as of September 30, 2025, an increase of $38.57 million from September 30, 2024.

. Stockholders' Equity:
Stockholders' equity increased to $31.65 million, up from $29.34 million at December 31, 2024, and $29.44 million a year ago. This growth continues to reinforce the company's strong capital position.
. Credit Quality and Loan Metrics:
Credit quality remained strong, with no nonperforming assets reported for the quarter and net charge-offs at –(0.01)%, indicating net recoveries. The allowance for credit losses to total loans stood at 0.88%, reflecting continued sound risk management practices.
