 These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
 The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

 •
 general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected;

 •
 the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies; and

 The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with other cautionary statements that are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward- looking statements.

 Item 1. Business
 General
 PB Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company" or "PB Bankshares"), a Maryland corporation, was formed in March 2021 to serve as the bank holding company for Presence Bank (the "Bank"). On July 14, 2021, the Bank completed its mutual to stock conversion and the related stock offering of the Company. The Company's common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol PBBK.
 The Company is authorized to pursue other business activities permitted by applicable laws and regulations for bank holding companies, which may include the acquisition of banking and financial services companies. The Company is subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board") and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities (the "Pennsylvania Department of Banking"). At December 31, 2024, the Company had total consolidated assets of $451.3 million, total deposits of $354.2 million and total stockholders' equity of $48.7 million.
 The Company files interim, quarterly and annual reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The SEC maintains an Internet site (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers such as the Company that file electronically with the SEC. All filed SEC reports and interim filings can also be obtained from the Company's website www.presencebank.com on the "Investor Relations" page, without charge from the Company. Our executive office is located at 185 E. Lincoln Highway, Coatesville, Pennsylvania 19320, and our telephone number at this address is (610) 384-8282.
 Presence Bank is a stock savings bank organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. We operate from four offices and two loan production offices in Chester, Lancaster and Dauphin Counties, Pennsylvania. Our primary market area for deposits includes the communities in which we maintain our banking office locations, while our primary lending market area is broader and includes customers in Lebanon, Dauphin and Cumberland Counties in Pennsylvania. We will from time to time also originate loans to customers located in adjacent metropolitan markets. We are a community-oriented bank offering a variety of financial products and services to meet the needs of our customers. We believe that our community orientation and personalized service distinguishes us from larger banks that operate in our market area.
 From our founding in 1919 until 2019, we operated as a traditional thrift institution, offering primarily residential mortgage loans and savings accounts. In September 2019, we hired our current president and chief executive officer, Janak M. Amin, and under his leadership we have developed a commercial lending infrastructure, with a particular focus on expanding into commercial real estate and commercial and industrial lending to small businesses. In addition, we have strengthened and continue to modernize our operations through upgrades to our credit underwriting, information technology and compliance operations. Consistent with our strategy to grow our commercial loan operations, we have enhanced our suite of deposit products, including remote deposit capture, commercial cash management and mobile deposits in order to accommodate business customers, and thereby grow our core deposits by our loan production office model.
 Our principal business consists of attracting retail and commercial deposits from the general public in our market area and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, primarily in commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, construction, home equity lines of credit and to a lesser extent, one- to four-family residential real estate loans and consumer loans. Subject to market conditions, we expect to continue our focus on originating more commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans in an effort to continue to increase the overall yield earned on our loans and assist in managing interest rate risk. We also invest in debt securities, which have historically consisted of mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government sponsored enterprises and U.S. government and agency securities. We offer a variety of deposit accounts, including demand deposit accounts, savings

 accounts, money market accounts and certificate of deposit accounts. We borrow funds, primarily from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, to fund our operations as necessary.
 Market Area
 We conduct our business from our main office and three branch offices, which are located in Chester and Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania. In recent years, we have expanded our operations into Lebanon, Dauphin and Cumberland Counties, Pennsylvania. In 2021, we opened a loan production office in Harrisburg (Dauphin County) and in 2024 we opened an administrative office in Lancaster (Lancaster County). In future years, we expect to establish one or two additional loan production offices to support lending teams operating in our market area. The following discusses the demographics of the counties in which we currently operate.
 Chester County's total population for 2024 is estimated at 553,000, approximately 10.60% growth since 2010. Chester County's population growth is projected to be 2.28% between 2024 and 2028. A relatively high percentage of Chester County's non-farm, non-government workforce is in the services industry sector, estimated at over 30% of the labor force. Other significant employer industries in the county include education, healthcare and social services at an aggregate 24% of the labor force and finance/insurance/real estate at 19% of the labor force. Median household income for 2024 in Chester County is estimated to be $125,000.
 Lancaster County's total population for 2024 is estimated at 561,000, approximately 7.72% growth since 2010. Lancaster County's population growth is projected to be 1.38% between 2024 and 2028. Education, healthcare and social services industry represents in the aggregate over 24% of the labor force. Other significant employer industries in Lancaster County include services and retail trade. Median household income in Lancaster County for 2024 is estimated to be $83,000.
 Dauphin County is home to the Commonwealth's capital city of Harrisburg. Dauphin County's total population for 2024 is estimated at 290,000, approximately 8.01% growth since 2010. Dauphin County's population growth is projected to be 0.94% between 2024 and 2028. The services industry represents 31% of the labor force. Other significant employer industries include education, healthcare and social services and finance/insurance/real estate. Median household income in Dauphin County for 2024 is estimated to be $76,000.
 We also serve customers in Cumberland and Lebanon Counties. With total populations of 273,000 and 145,000, respectively, estimated for 2024, Cumberland county was one of the fastest growing counties in Pennsylvania since 2010 at 15.70% growth since 2010.

 Competition
 We face competition within our market area both in making loans and attracting deposits. Our market area has a concentration of financial institutions that include large money center and regional banks, community banks and credit unions. We also face competition from savings institutions, mortgage banking firms and consumer finance companies

 and, with respect to deposits, from money market funds, brokerage firms, mutual funds and insurance companies. We also compete with fintech and Internet banking companies. Some of our competitors offer products and services that we currently do not offer, such as trust services and private banking.
 As of June 30, 2024 (the latest date for which information is available), our deposit market share was 1.4% in Chester County, Pennsylvania and less than 1.0% of total deposits in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
 Lending Activities
 General. Our primary business has traditionally been the origination of one- to four-family residential real estate loans, most of which were fixed-rate loans. Our principal lending activity has transitioned to an emphasis on the origination of commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, construction, home equity lines of credit and to a lesser extent, one- to four-family residential real estate loans and consumer loans. We intend to maintain an increased emphasis on commercial real estate and commercial and industrial lending, in an effort to manage the interest rate risk on our loan portfolio and increase the average yield earned on our loan portfolio.
 Loan Portfolio Composition. The following table sets forth the composition of our loan portfolio, by type of loan at the dates indicated. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had no loans held for sale.

 Commercial Real Estate Lending. Consistent with our strategy to manage the interest rate risk of our loan portfolio and increase our yield, we are focused on increasing our origination of commercial real estate loans. At December 31, 2024, we had $205.2 million in commercial real estate loans, representing 58.7% of our total loan portfolio.
 Our commercial real estate loans generally have fixed rates with terms of three, five, seven or ten years and amortization terms of 20 to 30 years, with a balloon payment due at the end of the term. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of our commercial real estate loans is generally 80%. Our commercial real estate loans are typically secured by medical, industrial, warehouse, retail or other commercial properties. We originate a moderate number of multi-family loans generally secured by apartment buildings. At December 31, 2024, of the commercial real estate loans that were stress tested the three largest collateral categories were $25.5 million of hotels, $24.3 million of multi-family real estate and $20.6 million of strip malls. At December 31, 2024, the average principal loan balance of our outstanding commercial real estate loans was $664,000, and the largest of such loans was a $5.4 million loan secured by a strip mall in our market area originated in March 2024. This loan was performing in accordance with its terms at December 31, 2024.
 We also originate first mortgage loans secured by farmland. At December 31, 2024, farmland loans totaled $4.1 million, or 2.0% of our commercial real estate loan portfolio. Such loans are generally fixed-rate loans at a margin over the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal with terms up to 10 years and amortization schedules of up to 25 years. Loans secured by farmland may be made in amounts up to 80% of the value of the farm. Generally, we obtain personal guarantees from the borrower on all loans secured by farmland.
 We consider a number of factors in originating commercial real estate loans. We evaluate the qualifications and financial condition of the borrower, including project-level and global cash flows, credit history, and management expertise, as well as the value and condition of the property securing the loan. When evaluating the qualifications of the borrower, we

 consider the financial resources of the borrower, the borrower's experience in owning or managing similar property and the borrower's payment history with us and other financial institutions. In evaluating the property securing the loan, the factors we consider include the net operating income of the mortgaged property before debt service and depreciation, the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value of the mortgaged property and the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of net operating income to debt service). We generally require a debt service ratio of at least 1.25x. Generally, commercial real estate loans are appraised by outside independent appraisers, however, if the value of the loan is less than $500,000 and the property is owner occupied, we may utilize third party evaluations in lieu of formal appraisals which are subsequently reviewed by our credit department. Although our policy allows for third party evaluations, we normally obtain appraisals.
 Personal guarantees are generally obtained from the principals of commercial real estate loan borrowers, although this requirement may be waived in limited circumstances depending upon the loan-to-value ratio and the debt service ratio associated with the loan. We require property, casualty and title insurance and flood insurance if the property is in a flood zone area. Commercial real estate loans entail greater credit risks compared to one- to four-family residential real estate loans because they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment of loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the property, as repayment of the loan generally is dependent, in large part, on sufficient income from the property to cover operating expenses and debt service. Changes in economic conditions that are not in the control of the borrower or lender could affect the value of the collateral for the loan or the future cash flow of the property. Additionally, any decline in real estate values may be more pronounced for commercial and multi-family real estate than residential properties.
 One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending. Our historical primary lending activity has been the origination of one- to four-family, owner-occupied, first and second residential mortgage loans, virtually all of which are secured by properties located in our market area. At December 31, 2024, one- to four-family residential real estate loans totaled $103.6 million, or 29.6% of our total loan portfolio. At December 31, 2024, we had $91.5 million of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans in the first lien position and $12.1 million in a junior lien position. The average principal loan balance of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans was $134,000 at December 31, 2024.
 We currently offer one- to four-family residential real estate loans with terms of up to 30 years. We currently retain in our portfolio all of the one- to four-family residential real estate loans we originate. However, as we continue to diversify our loan portfolio and increase our income sources, we may seek to sell one- to four-family residential real estate loans that we originate in the future into the secondary market. We currently primarily originate adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans, but we do, on a much more limited basis, originate fixed-rate long-term loans. At December 31, 2024, $45.4 million, or 45.2% of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans had fixed rates of interest, and $55.0 million, or 54.8% of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans, had adjustable rates of interest for loans due after one year. One- to four-family residential real estate loans often remain outstanding for significantly shorter periods than their contractual terms because borrowers have the right to refinance or prepay their loans without penalty. We generally limit the loan-to-value ratios of our mortgage loans without private mortgage insurance to 80% of the purchase price or appraised value, whichever is lower. Loans where the borrower obtains private mortgage insurance may be made with loan-to-value ratios up to 85%.
 Our adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans carry terms to maturity ranging from 10 to 30 years and generally have fixed rates for initial terms of three, five, seven or ten years, and adjust annually thereafter at a margin, which in recent years has been tied to a margin above the U.S. Treasury rate. The maximum amount by which the interest rate may be increased or decreased is generally 5% for the first adjustment period and 2% per adjustment period thereafter, with a lifetime interest rate cap of generally 18% and a floor of 4%.
 Although adjustable-rate mortgage loans may reduce to an extent our vulnerability to changes in market interest rates because they periodically re-price, as interest rates increase the required payments due from the borrower also increase (subject to rate caps), increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the ability of the borrower to repay the loan and the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustments of the contractual interest rate are also limited by our maximum periodic and lifetime rate adjustments. Moreover, the interest rates on most of our adjustable-rate loans do not adjust for up to seven years after

 origination. As a result, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans in compensating for changes in market interest rates generally may be limited.
 At December 31, 2024, we had $32.7 million, or 31.6% of the one- to four-family residential real estate loan portfolio, secured by non-owner occupied properties. In cases where the borrower (owner of the property) is not the resident, we generally require personal guarantees from the principals owning these properties, and we will not make loans in excess of 85% loan to value on non-owner-occupied properties. The interest rate on these loans are generally fixed for up to five years.
 We have not offered but may offer "interest only" mortgage loans on permanent one- to four-family residential real estate loans (where the borrower pays interest for an initial period, after which the loan converts to a fully amortizing loan). We also have not offered and will not offer loans that provide for negative amortization of principal, such as "Option ARM" loans, where the borrower can pay less than the interest owed on the loan, resulting in an increased principal balance during the life of the loan. We have not offered "Alt-A" loans (i.e., loans that generally target borrowers with better credit scores who borrow with alternative documentation such as little or no verification of income).
 We generally require title insurance on all of our one- to four-family residential real estate mortgage loans, and we also require that borrowers maintain fire and extended coverage casualty insurance (and, if appropriate, flood insurance) in an amount at least equal to the lesser of the loan balance or the replacement cost of the improvements. We do not conduct environmental testing on residential real estate mortgage loans unless specific concerns for hazards are identified by the appraiser used in connection with the origination of the loan. If we identify an environmental problem on land that will secure a loan, the environmental hazard must be remediated before the closing of the loan.
 When underwriting residential real estate loans, we review and verify each loan applicant's employment, income and credit history and, if applicable, our experience with the borrower. Our policy is to obtain credit reports and financial statements on all borrowers and guarantors. Generally, all properties securing real estate loans are appraised by independent appraisers. Appraisals are subsequently reviewed by our credit department. However, if the value of the loan is less than $400,000, we may utilize third party evaluations which are subsequently reviewed by our credit department. Although our policy allows for third party evaluations, we normally obtain appraisals.
 Our one- to four-family residential real estate loans also include home equity lines of credit. Our home equity lines of credit are secured by either first mortgages or second mortgages on owner-occupied one- to four-family residences. At December 31, 2024, we had $9.6 million of outstanding home equity lines of credit. At December 31, 2024, the unadvanced portion of home equity lines of credit totaled $12.4 million.
 The underwriting standards utilized for home equity lines of credit include a title review, the recordation of a lien, a determination of the applicant's ability to satisfy existing debt obligations and payments on the proposed loan, and the value of the collateral securing the loan. The loan-to-value ratio for our home equity lines of credit is generally limited to 85% when combined with the first security lien, if applicable. Our home equity lines of credit generally have 10-year draw period and adjustable rates of interest, subject to a contractual floor, which are indexed to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal.
 Construction Lending. We originate construction loans for the purchase of developed lots, for the construction of single-family residences and commercial real estate. Most of our construction loans are interest-only loans that provide for the payment of only interest during the construction phase, which is usually up to 6 to 24 months, although some commercial construction loans are renewed, generally for one or two additional years. At the end of the construction phase, the loan may convert to a permanent mortgage loan or the loan may be paid in full. Prior to making a commitment to fund a construction loan, we require an appraisal of the property by an independent appraiser. A third party reviews and inspects each project at every advance or at pre-established benchmarks, prior to disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan. Loan proceeds are disbursed upon the inspector's approval. At December 31, 2024, we had $10.5 million of construction loans, representing 3.0% of our total loan portfolio. At December 31, 2024, the average principal loan balance of our outstanding construction loans was $389,000, and the largest of such loans was a

 $3.8 million loan secured by site improvements for a residential single-family subdivision in our market area originated in March 2021. This loan was performing in accordance with its terms at December 31, 2024.
 Generally, the maximum loan-to-value of these loans is 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or construction cost of the property, and all these loans include personal guarantees for owners of 20% or more.
 Our development loans are secured by the entire property being platted and developed. Lending on raw land carries a significant risk of a change in market conditions during the development process. During the development process, we fund costs for site clearing and grading and infrastructure, including utilities and roads. Repayment and release of our development loans is structured to maintain the maximum loan-to-value that was approved at origination. We target most development loans to be paid off at no more than 70% of total lot sales. The maximum loan-to-value ratio on development loans is 70% of the lesser of the appraised value or land acquisition plus development cost of the property. We generally require a global debt service ratio on development loans of 1.2x or greater. Most development loans have maturities of 12 to 36 months, and may be extended if it is a multi-phase development.
 Construction financing generally involves greater credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance additional funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Moreover, if the estimated value of the completed project proves to be inaccurate, the borrower may hold a property with a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment. Construction loans also expose us to the risks that improvements will not be completed on time in accordance with specifications and projected costs and that repayment will depend on the successful operation or sale of the properties. In addition, some of these borrowers have more than one outstanding loan, so an adverse development with respect to one loan or credit relationship can expose us to significantly greater risk of non-payment and loss.
 Commercial and Industrial Lending. At December 31, 2024, we had $21.3 million of commercial and industrial loans, representing 6.1% of our total loan portfolio. We offer regular lines of credit and revolving lines of credit to small businesses in our market area to finance short-term working capital needs such as accounts receivable and inventory with terms of up to 12 months that are due on demand and subject to annual renewal. We have developed relationships with professional organizations such as accounting firms, law firms and medical practices. Our commercial lines of credit are typically variable rate tied to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal. We generally obtain personal guarantees with respect to all commercial and industrial lines of credit. At December 31, 2024, the average loan size of our commercial and industrial loans was $168,000, and our largest outstanding commercial and industrial loan balance was a $3.8 million loan to a supplier and installer of specialty building products in our market area originated in October 2022. This loan was performing in accordance with its terms at December 31, 2024.
 We typically originate commercial business loans on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower's business, the experience and stability of the borrower's management team, earnings projections and the underlying assumptions, and the value and marketability of any collateral securing the loan. Depending on the collateral used to secure the loans, commercial and industrial loans are made in amounts generally of up to 80% of the value of the collateral securing the loan. Commercial and industrial loans are generally secured by a variety of collateral, primarily accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial and industrial loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself and the general economic environment in our market area. Therefore, commercial and industrial loans that we originate have greater credit risk than one- to four-family residential real estate loans or, generally, consumer loans. In addition, commercial and industrial loans often result in larger outstanding balances to single borrowers, or related groups of borrowers, and also generally require substantially greater evaluation and oversight efforts.
 Consumer and Other Lending. We offer on a limited basis consumer loans to individuals secured by deposit accounts and other assets. At December 31, 2024, our consumer and other loan portfolio totaled $9.3 million, or 2.6% of our total loan portfolio. At December 31, 2024, the average principal loan balance of our outstanding consumer and other loans was $326,000, and the largest of such loans was a $4.5 million loan to a bank holding company originated in October 2021. This loan was performing in accordance with its terms at December 31, 2024.

 Our procedure for underwriting consumer loans includes an assessment of the applicant's credit history and ability to meet existing obligations and payments of the proposed loan, as well as an evaluation of the value of the collateral security, if any.
 Consumer loans generally entail greater risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of loans that are unsecured or are secured by assets that tend to depreciate in value. As a result, consumer loan collections are primarily dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. In these cases, repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment for the outstanding loan, and the remaining value often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower.
 Loan Originations, Participations, Purchases and Sales
 Most of our loan originations are generated by our loan personnel and from referrals from existing customers, real estate brokers, accountants and other professionals. All loans we originate are underwritten pursuant to our policies and procedures. While we originate both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans, our ability to generate each type of loan depends upon relative borrower demand and pricing levels established by competing banks, thrifts, credit unions, and mortgage banking companies. Our volume of loan originations is influenced significantly by market interest rates, and, accordingly, the volume of our loan originations can vary from period to period. We generally do not sell any of the loans we originate.
 We purchase commercial loan participations secured by properties primarily within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in which we are not the lead lender. In these circumstances, we follow our customary loan underwriting and approval policies. At December 31, 2024, the outstanding balances of our loan participations where we are not the lead lender totaled $9.5 million, or 2.7% of our loan portfolio, of which all $9.5 million were commercial real estate loans. All such loans were performing in accordance with their original repayment terms. We also have participated out portions of loans that exceeded our loans-to-one borrower legal lending limit and for risk diversification. At December 31, 2024, we had participated out portions of loans with an aggregate principal balance of $28.7 million. We have not purchased whole loans.
 Loans to One Borrower. Pursuant to applicable law, the aggregate amount of loans that we are permitted to make to any one borrower or a group of related borrowers is generally limited to 15% of Presence Bank's unimpaired capital and surplus (25% if the amount in excess of 15% is secured by "readily marketable collateral"). This 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus was approximately $7.0 million as of December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2024, our largest credit relationship totaled $6.1 million, consisting of three loans secured by commercial and one- to four-family residential real estate. At December 31, 2024, this loan relationship was performing in accordance with its current terms.
 Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. Our lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by the board of directors. In the approval process for residential loans, we assess the borrower's ability to repay the loan and the value of the property securing the loan. To assess the borrower's ability to repay, we review the borrower's income and expenses and employment and credit history. In the case of commercial real estate loans, we also review projected income, expenses and the viability of the project being financed. We require appraisals of all real property securing loans for loans greater than $400,000 for residential loans and $500,000 for commercial loans. Appraisals are performed by independent licensed appraisers. If the value of the loan is less than $400,000 for residential loans and $500,000 for commercial loans, we may utilize a third-party evaluation which is also reviewed by our credit department. Although our policy allows for third party evaluations, we normally obtain appraisals. All real estate secured loans generally require fire, title and casualty insurance and, if warranted, flood insurance. Casualty insurance is an amount at least equal to the lesser of the loan balance or the replacement cost of improvements and flood insurance is an amount at least equal to the principal amount of the loan or the maximum amount available. Our loan approval policies and limits are also established by our board of directors. All loans originated by Presence Bank are subject to our underwriting guidelines.
 The approval of three of the following: Chief Risk and Credit Officer, Chief Banking Officer, Credit Manager or Relationship Manager are required for approval of secured commercial, residential and consumer loans up to and

 including $1.0 million. The approval of the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Risk and Credit Officer and two of the following: Chief Banking Officer, Credit Manager, or Relationship Manager are required for approval of secured commercial, residential and consumer loans greater than $1.0 million and up to and including $2.0 million. Officer Loan Committee approval is also required for all loans up to and including $2.0 million. Consumer and residential loans under $750,000 can be approved by Officer Loan Committee regardless of exposure. Director Loan Committee approval is required for all loans in excess of $2.0 million up to and including our legal lending limit of $7.0 million. Unsecured loans in excess of $150,000 also require the approval of the Director Loan Committee. Board of Directors approval is required for all Regulation O loans.
 Delinquencies, Non-Performing Assets and Classified Assets
 Delinquency Procedures. When a loan is 15 days past due, we send the borrower a late notice. We generally also contact the borrower by phone if the delinquency is not corrected promptly after the notice has been sent. When the loan is 30 days past due, we mail the borrower a letter reminding the borrower of the delinquency, and attempt to contact the borrower personally to determine the reason for the delinquency in order to ensure that the borrower understands the terms of the loan and the importance of making payments on or before the due date. If necessary, subsequent delinquency notices are issued at 45 days past due and the account will be monitored on a regular basis thereafter. By the 90th day of delinquency, we will send the borrower a final demand for payment and may recommend foreclosure. At 120 days, we typically begin foreclosure proceedings. Loans are charged off when we believe that the recovery of principal is unlikely. A summary report of all loans 30 days or more past due is provided to the board of directors each month.

 Non-Performing Loans. Loans are reviewed on a biweekly basis and again by our credit committee on a monthly basis. Management classifies loans as non-performing when they are placed on nonaccrual status or when they are 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Non-accrual loans are loans for which collectability is questionable and, therefore, interest on such loans will no longer be recognized on an accrual basis. All loans that become 90 days or more delinquent are placed on non-accrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received on a cash basis or cost recovery method. Loans on nonaccrual status or which are 90 days or more and still accruing interest are generally individually evaluated in determining the related allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses for these loans is generally determined using the fair value of any underlying collateral securing the loan. Collateral values used in determining the allowance for credit losses are reduced for selling costs if repayment is dependent upon the sale rather than the operation of the collateral.
 Real Estate Owned. When we acquire real estate as a result of foreclosure, the real estate is classified as real estate owned. The real estate owned is recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Soon after acquisition, we order a new appraisal to determine the current market value of the property. Any excess of the recorded value of the loan satisfied over the market value of the property is charged against the allowance for credit losses, or, if the existing allowance is inadequate, charged to expense of the current period. After acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property are expensed. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property, however, are capitalized to the extent of estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. We had no real estate owned at December 31, 2024 or as of December 31, 2023.

 Non-performing loans decreased to $1.1 million, or 0.32% of total loans, at December 31, 2024 from $1.4 million, or 0.44% of total loans, at December 31, 2023. This decrease was due to a $655,000 well collateralized agricultural

 relationship being removed from non-performing commercial real estate loans due to paying as agreed for more than six months. The decrease was also due to $131,000 of payments and payoffs on the non-performing loans in 2024; that included: $49,000 of one- to four- family residential real estate loans, $34,000 of commercial real estate loans and $48,000 of commercial and industrial loans. The decrease in non-performing loans was partially offset by a $488,000 commercial real estate loan being added to non-performing commercial real estate loans in 2024.

 Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered by the FDIC to be of lesser quality, as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss." An asset is considered "substandard" if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. "Substandard" assets include those characterized by the "distinct possibility" that the insured institution will sustain "some loss" if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as "doubtful" have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified "substandard," with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in full," on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, "highly questionable and improbable." Assets that do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are designated as "special mention" by our management. At December 31, 2024, we had $992,000 of loans designated as "special mention."

 In connection with the filing of our periodic regulatory reports and in accordance with our classification of assets policy, we regularly review the problem loans in our portfolio to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. Loans are listed on the "watch list" initially because of emerging financial weaknesses even though the loan is currently performing as agreed. Management reviews the status of each loan on our watch list on a monthly basis with our credit committee and on a quarterly basis with the full board of directors. If a loan deteriorates in asset quality, the classification is changed to "special mention," "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss" depending on the circumstances and the evaluation. Generally, loans 90 days or more past due are placed on nonaccrual status and classified "substandard."

 On the basis of this review of our loans, our classified and special mention loans at the dates indicated were as follows:

 Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
 Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans. The allowance represents management's current estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual term of loans, and is recorded at an amount that, in management's judgment, reduces the recorded investment in loans to the net amount expected to be collected. No allowance for credit losses is recorded on accrued interest receivable and amounts written-off are reversed by an adjustment to interest income. Management's judgment in determining the level of the allowance is based on evaluations of historical loan losses, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts relevant to the collectability of loans. Loans that share common risk characteristics are evaluated collectively using a cash flow approach for all loans. The cash flow approach used by the Company utilizes loan-level cash flow projections and pool-level assumptions. For all loan pools, cash flow projections and estimated expected losses are based in part on benchmarked peer data.

 Management's estimate of the allowance for credit losses on loans that are collectively evaluated also includes a qualitative assessment of available information relevant to assessing collectability that is not captured in the loss estimation process. This includes forecasts that are reasonable and supportable concerning expectations of future economic conditions. The reasonable and supportable forecast period is a year. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

 These qualitative risk factors include:
 1.
 Lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices.

 2.
 National, regional, and local economic and business conditions as well as the condition of various market segments, including the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans.

 3.
 Nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans.

 4.
 Volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans as well as other loan modifications.

 5.
 Existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations.

 6.
 Effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements.

 7.
 Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff.

 8.
 Quality of loan review and Board of Director oversight.

 9.
 The effect of other external factors (i.e. competition, legal and regulatory requirements) on the level of estimated credit losses.

 10.
 Changes in inflationary environment.

 11.
 Changes in the interest rate environment.

 Each factor is assigned a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on management's best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. Adjustments to the factors are supported through documentation of changes in conditions in a narrative accompanying the allowance for credit losses calculation for our loan portfolio.

 The evaluation also considers the following risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment:

 One- to four-family residential real estate loans carry risks associated with the continued creditworthiness of the borrower and changes in the value of the collateral.

 Commercial real estate loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of a business or a real estate project, in addition to other risks associated with the ownership of real estate, because repayment of these loans may be dependent upon the profitability and cash flows of the business or project.

 Construction loans carry risks that the project may not be finished according to schedule, the project may not be finished according to budget, and the value of the collateral may, at any point in time, be less than the principal amount of the loan. Construction loans also bear the risk that the general contractor, who may or may not be a loan customer, may be unable to finish the construction project as planned because of financial pressure or other factors unrelated to the project.

 Commercial and industrial loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of a business because repayment of these loans may be dependent upon the profitability and cash flows of the business. In addition, there is risk associated with the value of collateral other than real estate which may depreciate over time and cannot be appraised with as much reliability.

 Consumer loans carry risk associated with the continued creditworthiness of the borrower and the value of the collateral, if any. These loans are typically either unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciating assets. They are also likely to be immediately and adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness, personal bankruptcy, or other changes in circumstances.

 Loans that do not share common risk characteristics with other loans are evaluated individually and are not included in the collective analysis. The allowance for credit losses on loans that are individually evaluated may be estimated based on their expected cash flows, or, in the case of loans for which repayment is expected substantially through the operation or sale of collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, may be measured based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell.

 An unallocated component of the allowance for credit losses on loans is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of expected losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating expected losses.

 We will continue to monitor and modify our allowance for credit losses on loans as conditions dictate. No assurances can be given that the level of allowance for credit losses on loans will cover all of the expected losses on the loans or that future adjustments to the allowance for credit losses will not be necessary if economic and other conditions differ substantially from the economic and other conditions used by management to determine the current level of the allowance for credit losses.

 The provision for credit losses on loans decreased $592,000, or 91.9%, to $52,000 for 2024 from $644,000 for 2023 primarily due to lower qualitative factor allocations within the Company's current expected credit losses methodology. In 2024, there was one significant charge-off of $223,000 to fully charge-off a commercial real estate loan and the Company incurred $144,000 of charge-offs in 2023 to fully charge-off a commercial and industrial loan.

 Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for credit losses on loans, future adjustments to the allowance for credit losses on loans may be necessary and results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations. Because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, the existing allowance for credit losses may not be adequate and management may determine that increases in the allowance are necessary if the quality of any portion of our loan portfolio deteriorates as a result. Furthermore, as an integral part of its examination process, the FDIC and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking will periodically review our allowance for credit losses on loans. However, regulatory agencies are not directly involved in establishing the allowance for credit losses on loans as the process is our responsibility and any increase or decrease in the allowance is the responsibility of management. Any material increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans will adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
 Investment Activities
 General. Our board of directors is responsible for approving and overseeing our investment policy. The investment policy is reviewed at least annually by management and any changes to the policy are recommended to the board of directors and are subject to its approval. This policy dictates that investment decisions be made based on the safety of the investment, regulatory standards, liquidity requirements, potential returns and consistency with our interest rate risk management strategy. Our asset liability management committee, which consists of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Banking Officer, Chief Risk and Credit Officer, Chief Information Officer, Controller, Credit Manager, and Senior Commercial Relationship Managers, oversees our investing activities and strategies. All transactions are formally reviewed by the board of directors at least monthly. Wilmington Trust Company executes investment activity on behalf of Presence Bank and provides administrative support related to the investment portfolio. CSB Investments, a subsidiary of Presence Bank, holds the majority of the securities for the consolidated entity and has a similar investment policy ratified by the board of directors of Presence Bank.
 Our current investment policy authorizes us to invest in debt securities issued by the United States Government, agencies of the United States Government or United States Government-sponsored enterprises. The policy also permits investments in mortgage-backed securities, including pass-through securities, issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae,

 Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, as well as investments in federal funds, deposits in other insured institutions and certain mutual funds. In addition, management is authorized to invest in investment grade state and municipal obligations, commercial paper and corporate debt obligations within regulatory parameters. We do not engage in any investment hedging activities or trading activities, nor do we purchase any mortgage derivative products, corporate junk bonds, and certain types of structured notes.
 Generally accepted accounting principles require that, at the time of purchase, we designate a debt security as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading, depending on our ability and intent to hold such security. Debt securities designated as available-for-sale are reported at fair value, while debt securities designated as held to maturity are reported at amortized cost. All of our debt securities are designated as available for sale. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we held no debt securities that were not carried at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss).
 The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities available-for-sale at December 31, 2024, by contractual maturity with yields, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties (dollars in thousands).

 United States Governmental Agency Securities. At December 31, 2024, we had U.S. Government Agency securities totaling $20.2 million, which constituted 39.5% of our securities portfolio. We maintain these investments, to the extent appropriate, for liquidity purposes, at zero or 20% risk weighting for capital purposes and as collateral for borrowings. At December 31, 2024, United States government agency securities consisted of securities issued by Fannie Mae, Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Farm Credit Bank, and Freddie Mac.
 Corporate Bonds. At December 31, 2024, we had corporate bonds totaling $4.8 million, which constituted 9.4% of our securities portfolio. At December 31, 2024 corporate bonds consisted of investments in community bank issuers to achieve positive interest rate yields, at 100% risk weighting for capital purposes.
 United States Treasury Securities. At December 31, 2024, we had U.S. treasury securities totaling $22.0 million, which constituted 43.0% of our securities portfolio. We maintain these investments, to the extent appropriate, for liquidity purposes, at zero risk weighting for capital purposes and as collateral for borrowings.
 Mortgage-Backed Securities. At December 31, 2024, we had mortgage-backed securities totaling $1.5 million, which constituted 2.9% of our securities portfolio. We invest in mortgage-backed securities insured or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. We have not purchased privately-issued mortgage-backed securities. We invest in mortgage-backed securities to achieve positive interest rate spreads with minimal administrative expense, and to lower our credit risk as a result of the guarantees provided by Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.
 Investments in mortgage-backed securities involve a risk that actual payments will be greater or less than the prepayment rate estimated at the time of purchase, which may require adjustments to the amortization of any premium or acceleration of any discount relating to such interests, thereby affecting the net yield on our securities. We periodically review current prepayment speeds to determine whether prepayment estimates require modification that could cause amortization or accretion adjustments. There is also reinvestment risk associated with the cash flows from such securities or in the event such securities are redeemed by the issuer. In addition, the market value of such securities may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates.

 Collateralized Mortgage Obligations. At December 31, 2024, we had collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") totaling $1.9 million, which constituted 3.6% of our securities portfolio. We invest in fixed-rate CMOs issued by Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. A CMO is a type of mortgage-backed security that creates separate pools of pass-through rates for different classes of bondholders with varying maturities, called tranches. The repayments from the pool of pass-through securities are used to retire the bonds in the order specified by the bonds' prospectus.
 Mutual Fund. At December 31, 2024, we invested in one mutual fund-based Community Reinvestment Act fund totaling $808,000, which constituted 1.6% of our securities portfolio. The fund allows us the opportunity to invest in a vehicle that targets community development capital to our local market.
 Other Securities. We held common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh in connection with our borrowing activities totaling $2.1 million at December 31, 2024. The Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh common stock is carried at cost. We may be required to purchase additional Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh stock if we increase borrowings in the future. Additionally, we held common stock of Atlantic Community Bankers Bank in connection with membership requirements totaling $60,000 at December 31, 2024.
 Sources of Funds
 General. Deposits have traditionally been our primary source of funds for use in lending and investment activities. We may also use borrowings, primarily Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh advances, to supplement cash flow needs, as necessary. In addition, we receive funds from scheduled loan payments, loan prepayments, retained income and income on interest earning assets. While scheduled loan payments and income on interest earning assets are relatively stable sources of funds, deposit inflows and outflows can vary widely and are influenced by prevailing interest rates, market conditions and levels of competition.
 Deposits. Our deposits are generated primarily from residents, municipalities, non-profits and businesses within our market area. We offer a selection of deposit accounts, including savings accounts, demand deposit accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit. Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the minimum balance required, the amount of time the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate. At December 31, 2024, we had $24.8 million in brokered deposits and $5.4 million in deposits acquired through listing services. At December 31, 2024, we had $43.2 million in deposits of public funds primarily in our market area.
 Interest rates, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established on a periodic basis. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies and market rates, liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors and growth goals. The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in interest rates and competition. The variety of deposit accounts that we offer allows us to be competitive in generating deposits and to respond with flexibility to changes in our customers' demands. Our ability to generate deposits is affected by the competitive market in which we operate, which includes numerous financial institutions of varying sizes offering a wide range of products. We believe that deposits are a stable source of funds, but our ability to attract and maintain deposits at favorable rates will be affected by market conditions, including competition and prevailing interest rates.

 Borrowings. We may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh upon the security of our capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. Such advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. At December 31, 2024, we had the ability to borrow approximately $179.5 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, of which $42.5 million had been advanced in addition to $7.0 million held in reserve to secure three letters of credit to collateralize municipal deposits. Additionally, at December 31, 2024, we had the ability to borrow $7.5 million from the Atlantic Community Bankers Bank, $5.0 million from SouthState Bank N.A. and we maintained a line of credit of $1.9 million with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. We did not borrow against the credit lines with the Atlantic Community Bankers Bank, SouthState Bank N.A. or the Federal Reserve Bank during the year ended December 31, 2024, except to do our annual testing of the lines.
 Subsidiary Activities
 Presence Bank is the wholly-owned subsidiary of PB Bankshares. Presence Bank has one subsidiary, CSB Investments, a Delaware corporation, which holds the majority of the debt securities for Presence Bank.
 Personnel and Human Capital Resources
 As of December 31, 2024, we had 37 full-time equivalent employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management believes that we have good working relations with our employees. We believe our ability to attract and retain employees is a key to our success. Accordingly, we strive to offer competitive salaries and employee benefits to all employees and monitor salaries in our market areas. In addition, we are committed to developing our staff through continuing education and specialty education within banking, which may include using universities that offer banking management programs, when applicable. We have also developed an in-house program to

 teach our employees the benefits of managing their money in a prudent manner. The course is designed to account for every dollar of spending and ensuring wise distribution between wants and needs. The goal is for employees to establish a reserve fund, eliminate debt by focusing on paying off higher interest rate loans and saving for retirement.
 REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
 General
 Presence Bank is a stock savings bank organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The lending, investment, and other business operations of Presence Bank are governed by Pennsylvania law and regulations, as well as applicable federal law and regulations, and Presence Bank is prohibited from engaging in any operations not authorized by such laws and regulations. Presence Bank is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the FDIC. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution may engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC's deposit insurance fund and depositors, and not for the protection of stockholders. Presence Bank also is a member of and owns stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, which is one of the 11 regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System.
 Under this system of regulation, the regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory, enforcement, rulemaking and examination activities and policies, including rules or policies that: establish minimum capital levels; restrict the timing and amount of dividend payments; govern the classification of assets; determine the adequacy of credit loss reserves for regulatory purposes; and establish the timing and amounts of insurance assessments and other fees. Moreover, as part of their examination authority, the banking regulators assign numerical ratings to banks and savings institutions relating to capital, asset quality, management, liquidity, earnings and other factors. The receipt of a less than satisfactory rating in one or more categories may result in enforcement action by the banking regulators against a financial institution. A less than satisfactory rating may also prevent a financial institution, such as Presence Bank or its holding company, from obtaining necessary regulatory approvals to access the capital markets, pay dividends, acquire other financial institutions or establish new branches.
 In addition, we must comply with significant anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws and regulations, Community Reinvestment Act laws and regulations, and fair lending laws and regulations. Government agencies have the authority to impose monetary penalties and other sanctions on institutions that fail to comply with these laws and regulations, which could significantly affect our business activities, including our ability to acquire other financial institutions or expand our branch network.
 As a bank holding company, PB Bankshares is required to comply with the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. It is required to file certain reports with the Federal Reserve Board and is subject to examination by and the enforcement authority of the Federal Reserve Board. PB Bankshares is also subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.
 Any change in applicable laws or regulations, whether by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on the operations and financial performance of PB Bankshares and Presence Bank.
 Set forth below is a brief description of material regulatory requirements that are applicable to Presence Bank and PB Bankshares. The description is limited to certain material aspects of the statutes and regulations addressed, and is not intended to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on Presence Bank and PB Bankshares.
 Pennsylvania Bank Regulation
 Activity Powers. The Pennsylvania Department of Banking will regulate the internal organization of Presence Bank, as well as our activities, including, deposit-taking, lending and investment. The basic authority for our activities is specified by Pennsylvania law and by regulations, policies and directives issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. The

 FDIC also regulates many of the areas regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking, and federal law limits some of the authority that the Pennsylvania Department of Banking grants to us.
 Examination and Enforcement. The Pennsylvania Department of Banking regularly examines state-chartered banks in such areas as reserves, loans, investments, management practices and other aspects of operations. Although the Pennsylvania Department of Banking may accept the examinations and reports of the FDIC in lieu of its own examinations, the current practice is for the Pennsylvania Department of Banking to conduct individual examinations. The Pennsylvania Department of Banking may order any savings bank to discontinue any violation of law or unsafe or unsound business practice and may direct any director, officer, attorney or employee of a savings bank engaged in an objectionable activity, after the Pennsylvania Department of Banking has ordered the activity to be terminated, to show cause at a hearing before the Pennsylvania Department of Banking why such person should not be removed.
 Loans-to-One-Borrower Limitations. Pursuant to applicable law, the aggregate amount of loans that we are permitted to make to any one borrower or a group of related borrowers is generally limited to 15% of Presence Bank's unimpaired capital and surplus (25% if the amount in excess of 15% is secured by "readily marketable collateral"). This 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus was approximately $7.0 million as of December 31, 2024.
 Loans to Presence Bank's Insiders. Pennsylvania law provides that we may make loans to our executive officers and directors and greater than 10% stockholders in accordance with federal regulations.
 Dividend Restrictions. PB Bankshares is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiary, Presence Bank. There are various legal and regulatory restrictions on the extent to which Presence Bank can, among other things, finance or otherwise supply funds to PB Bankshares. Specifically, dividends from Presence Bank are the principal source of PB Bankshares's cash funds and there are certain legal restrictions under Pennsylvania law and regulations on the payment of dividends by state-chartered banks. The Pennsylvania Department of Banking, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board also have authority to prohibit PB Bankshares and Presence Bank from engaging in certain practices deemed to be unsafe and unsound. The payment of dividends could, depending upon the condition of PB Bankshares and Presence Bank, be deemed to constitute an unsafe and unsound practice.
 The Pennsylvania Banking Code regulates the distribution of dividends by banks and states, in part, that dividends may be declared and paid only out of accumulated net earnings. In addition, we may not declare and pay dividends from the surplus funds that Pennsylvania law requires that we maintain. Each year we will be required to set aside as surplus funds a sum equal to not less than 10% of our net earnings until the surplus funds equal 100% of our capital stock. We may invest surplus funds in the same manner as deposits, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, dividends may not be declared or paid if a bank is in default on payment of any assessment due the FDIC.
 Minimum Capital Requirements. Regulations of the Pennsylvania Department of Banking impose on Pennsylvania chartered depository institutions, including Presence Bank, minimum capital requirements similar to those imposed by the FDIC on insured state banks. See "— Federal Bank Regulation—Capital Requirements."
 Federal Bank Regulation
 Capital Requirements. Federal regulations require FDIC insured depository institutions to meet several minimum capital standards: a common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 6.0%, a total capital to risk-based assets ratio of 8.0%, and a 4.0% Tier 1 capital to total assets leverage ratio. The existing capital requirements are the result of a final rule implementing regulatory amendments based on recommendations of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act.
 Common equity Tier 1 capital is generally defined as common stockholders' equity and retained earnings. Tier 1 capital is generally defined as common equity Tier 1 and additional Tier 1 capital. Additional Tier 1 capital includes certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries. Total capital includes Tier 1 capital (common equity Tier 1 capital plus additional Tier 1 capital) and Tier 2 capital. Tier 2 capital is comprised of capital instruments and related surplus, meeting specified requirements, and may include cumulative preferred stock and long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities,

 intermediate preferred stock and subordinated debt. The allowance for credit losses is also included in Tier 2 capital to the extent allowed by the regulatory capital rules. Presence Bank has exercised the accumulated other comprehensive income opt-out election and as such, unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are excluded from the Bank's determination of regulatory capital. Calculation of all types of regulatory capital is subject to deductions and adjustments specified in the regulations.
 In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets for purposes of calculating risk-based capital ratios, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets ( e.g., recourse obligations, direct credit substitutes, residual interests) are multiplied by a risk weight factor assigned by the regulations based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Higher levels of capital are required for asset categories believed to present greater risk. For example, a risk weight of 0% is assigned to cash and U.S. government securities, a risk weight of 50% is generally assigned to prudently underwritten first lien one- to four-family residential real estate loans, a risk weight of 100% is assigned to commercial and consumer loans, a risk weight of 150% is assigned to certain past due loans and a risk weight of between 0% to 600% is assigned to permissible equity interests, depending on certain specified factors.
 In addition to establishing the minimum regulatory capital requirements, the regulations limit capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management if the institution does not hold a "capital conservation buffer" consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements.
 In assessing an institution's capital adequacy, the FDIC takes into consideration, not only these numeric factors, but qualitative factors as well, including the bank's exposure to interest rate risk. The FDIC has the authority to establish higher capital requirements for individual institutions where deemed necessary due to a determination that an institution's capital level is, or is likely to become, inadequate in light of particular circumstances.
 The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act ("EGRRCPA"), enacted in 2018, required the federal banking agencies, including the FDIC, to establish for institutions with assets of less than $10 billion a "Community Bank Leverage ratio" of between 8 to 10%. Institutions with capital meeting or exceeding the ratio and otherwise complying with the specified requirements (including off-balance sheet exposures of 25% or less of total assets and trading assets and liabilities of 5% or less of total assets) and electing the alternative framework are considered to comply with the applicable regulatory capital requirements.
 The community bank leverage ratio was established at 9% Tier 1 capital to total average assets. A qualifying institution may opt in and out of the community bank leverage ratio framework on its quarterly call report. An institution that temporarily ceases to meet any qualifying criteria is provided with a two quarter grace period to again achieve compliance. Failure to meet the qualifying criteria within the grace period or maintain a leverage ratio of 8% or greater requires the institution to comply with the generally applicable capital requirements.
 At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Bank did not elect to follow the community bank leverage ratio framework ("CBLR" framework).
 Standards for Safety and Soundness. As required by statute, the federal banking agencies adopted final regulations and Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safety and Soundness to implement safety and soundness standards. The guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. The guidelines address internal controls and information systems, internal audit systems, credit underwriting, loan documentation, interest rate exposure, asset growth, asset quality, earnings and compensation, fees and benefits. The agencies have also established standards for safeguarding customer information. If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard.
 Investment Activities. All FDIC insured banks, including savings banks, are generally limited in their equity investment activities to equity investments of the type and in the amount authorized for national banks, notwithstanding state law, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, a state bank may engage in state-authorized activities or investments not

 permissible for national banks (other than non-subsidiary equity investments) if it meets all applicable capital requirements and it is determined by the FDIC that such activities or investments do not pose a significant risk to the Deposit Insurance Fund.
 Interstate Banking and Branching. Federal law permits well capitalized and well managed holding companies to acquire banks in any state, subject to Federal Reserve Board approval, certain concentration limits and other specified conditions. Interstate mergers of banks are also authorized, subject to regulatory approval and other specified conditions. In addition, among other things, amendments made by the Dodd-Frank Act permit banks to establish de novo branches on an interstate basis provided that branching is authorized by the law of the host state for the banks chartered by that state.
 Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action. Federal bank regulatory authorities are required to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. For these purposes, the statute establishes five capital categories: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. Under the regulations, a savings bank is deemed to be: (i) "well capitalized" if, it has total risk-based capital of 10.0% or more, has a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or more, has a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 5.0% or more and a common equity Tier 1 ratio of 6.5% or more, and is not subject to any written capital order or directive; (ii) "adequately capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or more, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or more, a Tier 1 leveraged capital ratio of 4.0% or more and a common equity Tier 1 ratio of 4.5% or more, and does not meet the definition of "well capitalized"; (iii) "undercapitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio that is less than 4.0% or a common equity Tier 1 ratio of less than 4.5%; (iv) "significantly undercapitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6.0% and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4.0% or a common equity Tier 1 ratio of less than 3.0%; or (v) "critically undercapitalized" if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%.
 At December 31, 2024, Presence Bank was considered "well capitalized" for regulatory capital purposes.
 Federal law and regulations also specify circumstances under which a federal banking agency may reclassify a well-capitalized institution as adequately capitalized and may require an institution classified as less than well capitalized to comply with supervisory actions as if it were in the next lower category (except that the FDIC may not reclassify a significantly undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized).
 The FDIC may order savings banks that have insufficient capital to take corrective actions. For example, a savings bank that is categorized as "undercapitalized" is subject to growth limitations and is required to submit a capital restoration plan, and a holding company that controls such a savings bank is required to guarantee that the savings bank complies with the restoration plan. A "significantly undercapitalized" savings bank may be subject to additional restrictions. Savings banks deemed by the FDIC to be "critically undercapitalized" would be subject to the appointment of a receiver or conservator.
 Transactions with Affiliates and Regulation W of the Federal Reserve Regulations. Transactions between banks and their affiliates are governed by federal law. An affiliate of a bank is any company or entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the bank. In a holding company context, the parent bank holding company and any companies which are controlled by such parent holding company are affiliates of the bank (although subsidiaries of the bank itself, except financial subsidiaries, are generally not considered affiliates). Generally, Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Reserve Board's Regulation W limit the extent to which a bank or its subsidiaries may engage in "covered transactions" with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10.0% of such institution's capital stock and surplus, and with all such transactions with all affiliates to an amount equal to 20.0% of such institution's capital stock and surplus. Section 23B applies to "covered transactions" as well as to certain other transactions and requires that all such transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, to the institution or subsidiary as those provided to a non-affiliate. The term "covered transaction" includes the making of loans to, purchase of assets from, and issuance of a guarantee to an affiliate, and other similar transactions. Section 23B transactions also include the provision of services and the sale of assets by a bank to an affiliate. In addition, loans or other extensions of credit by the financial

 institution to the affiliate are required to be collateralized in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act.
 Sections 22(h) and (g) of the Federal Reserve Act place restrictions on loans to a bank's insiders, i.e., executive officers, directors and principal stockholders. Under Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act, loans to a director, an executive officer and to a greater than 10.0% stockholder of a financial institution, and certain affiliated interests of these persons, together with all other outstanding loans to such person and affiliated interests, may not exceed specified limits. Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act also requires that loans to directors, executive officers and principal stockholders be made on terms substantially the same as offered in comparable transactions to other persons and also requires prior board approval for certain loans. In addition, the aggregate amount of extensions of credit by a financial institution to insiders cannot exceed the institution's unimpaired capital and surplus. Section 22(g) of the Federal Reserve Act places additional restrictions on loans to executive officers.
 Enforcement. The FDIC has extensive enforcement authority over insured state savings banks, including Presence Bank. The enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, issue cease and desist orders and remove directors and officers. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated in response to violations of laws and regulations, breaches of fiduciary duty and unsafe or unsound practices.
 Federal Insurance of Deposit Accounts. Presence Bank is a member of the Deposit Insurance Fund, which is administered by the FDIC. Presence Bank's deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC, generally up to a maximum of $250,000 per depositor.
 The FDIC imposes deposit insurance assessments against all insured depository institutions. An institution's assessment rate depends upon the perceived risk of the institution to the Deposit Insurance Fund, with institutions deemed less risky paying lower rates. Currently, assessments for institutions of less than $10 billion of total assets are based on financial measures and supervisory ratings derived from statistical models estimating the probability of failure within three years. Effective January 1, 2023, assessment rates (inclusive of possible adjustments) range from three and a half to 32 basis points of each institution's total assets less tangible capital. The FDIC may increase or decrease the range of assessments uniformly, except that no adjustment can deviate more than two basis points from the base assessment rate without notice and comment rulemaking.
 The FDIC has the authority to increase insurance assessments and also to issue special assessments. A significant increase in insurance premiums would have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of Presence Bank. We cannot predict what deposit insurance assessment rates will be in the future.
 Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC. We do not know of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of deposit insurance at Presence Bank.
 Privacy Regulations. Federal regulations generally require that Presence Bank disclose its privacy policy, including identifying with whom it shares a customer's "non-public personal information," to customers at the time of establishing the customer relationship and annually thereafter. In addition, Presence Bank is required to provide its customers with the ability to "opt-out" of having their personal information shared with unaffiliated third parties and not to disclose account numbers or access codes to non-affiliated third parties for marketing purposes. Presence Bank currently has a privacy protection policy in place and believes that such policy is in compliance with the regulations.
 Community Reinvestment Act. Under the Community Reinvestment Act, or CRA, as implemented by federal regulations, a state savings bank has a continuing and affirmative obligation, consistent with its safe and sound operation, to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution's discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the CRA. The CRA does require the FDIC, in connection with its examination of a state savings bank, to assess the institution's record of meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such record into

 account in its evaluation of certain applications by such institution, including applications to acquire branches and other financial institutions. The CRA requires a written evaluation of an institution's CRA performance utilizing a four-tiered descriptive rating system. Presence Bank's latest federal CRA rating was "Needs Improvement." The Bank is working diligently to improve our rating and tracking our metrics on a monthly basis. The Bank has made significant progress in increasing the volume of CRA loans since the FDIC exam.
 On October 24, 2023, the FDIC and the other federal banking agencies issued a final rule to strengthen and modernize the Community Reinvestment Act regulations. Under the final rule, state savings banks with assets of less than $600 million as of December 31 in either of the prior two calendar years will be a "small bank." Small banks will be subject to either the current regulations' small bank lending test or, at the banks' option, the Retail Lending Test set out in the new regulations. The applicability date for the majority of the provisions in the new Community Reinvestment Act regulations is January 1, 2026, and additional requirements will be applicable on January 1, 2027. The final rule remains subject to ongoing litigation such that its final implementation dates remain unchanged.
 USA Patriot Act. Presence Bank is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act, which gives federal agencies additional powers to address terrorist threats through enhanced domestic security measures, expanded surveillance powers, increased information sharing, and broadened anti-money laundering requirements. The USA PATRIOT Act contains provisions intended to encourage information sharing among bank regulatory agencies and law enforcement bodies. Further, certain provisions impose affirmative obligations on a broad range of financial institutions, including banks, thrifts, brokers, dealers, credit unions, money transfer agents, and parties registered under the Commodity Exchange Act.
 Cybersecurity. Banking organizations are required to notify their primary federal regulator as soon as possible and no later than 36 hours of determining that a "computer-security incident" that arises to the level of a "notification incident" has occurred. A notification incident is a "computer-security incident" that has materially disrupted or degraded, or is reasonably likely to materially disrupt or degrade, the banking organization's ability to deliver services to a material portion of its customer base, jeopardize the viability of key operations of the banking organization, or impact the stability of the financial sector. Bank service providers are also required to notify any affected bank to or on behalf of which the service provider provides services "as soon as possible" after determining that it has experienced an incident that materially disrupts or degrades, or is reasonably likely to materially disrupt or degrade, covered services provided to such bank for four or more hours.
 Other Regulations
 Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by Presence Bank are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. Loan operations are also subject to state and federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:

 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves;

 Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit;

 Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1978, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies; and

 Rules and regulations of the various federal and state agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal and state laws.

 The deposit operations of Presence Bank also are subject to, among others, the:

 Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records;

 Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (also known as "Check 21"), which gives "substitute checks," such as digital check images and copies made from that image, the same legal standing as the original paper check; and

 Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E promulgated thereunder, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers' rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services.

 Federal Home Loan Bank System
 Presence Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 11 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. Members of the Federal Home Loan Bank are required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank. Presence Bank was in compliance with this requirement at December 31, 2024. Based on redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost. Presence Bank reviews its investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock for impairment, which is based on the Bank's assessment of the ultimate recoverability of its cost basis for the investment. As of December 31, 2024, no impairment has been recognized.
 Holding Company Regulation
 General. PB Bankshares is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. As such, PB Bankshares is registered with the Federal Reserve Board and is subject to the regulation, examination, supervision and reporting requirements applicable to bank holding companies. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has enforcement authority over PB Bankshares and its non-savings institution subsidiaries. Among other things, this authority permits the Federal Reserve Board to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings institution.
 Permissible Activities. A bank holding company is generally prohibited from engaging in non-banking activities, or acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting securities of any company engaged in non-banking activities. One of the principal exceptions to this prohibition is for activities found by the Federal Reserve Board to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Some of the principal activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined by regulation to be so closely related to banking are: (i) making or servicing loans; (ii) performing certain data processing services; (iii) providing discount brokerage services; (iv) acting as fiduciary, investment or financial advisor; (v) leasing personal or real property; (vi) making investments in corporations or projects designed primarily to promote community welfare; and (vii) acquiring a savings and loan association whose direct and indirect activities are limited to those permitted for bank holding companies.
 The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 authorized a bank holding company that meets specified conditions, including being "well capitalized" and "well managed," to opt to become a "financial holding company" and thereby engage in a broader array of financial activities than previously permitted. Such activities can include insurance underwriting and investment banking. A "financial holding company" may engage in a broader array of financial activities than permitted by a typical bank holding company. Such activities can include insurance underwriting and investment banking. As of December 31, 2024, PB Bankshares has not elected "financial holding company" status.
 Capital. Bank holding companies are subject to consolidated regulatory capital requirements, which have historically been similar to, though less stringent than, those of the FDIC for Presence Bank. Federal legislation, however, required the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate consolidated capital requirements for depository institution holding companies that are no less stringent, both quantitatively and in terms of components of capital, than those applicable to institutions

 themselves. As a result, consolidated regulatory capital requirements identical to those applicable to the subsidiary banks generally apply to bank holding companies. However, the Federal Reserve Board has provided a "Small Bank Holding Company" exception to its consolidated capital requirements, and subsequent legislation and the related issuance of regulations by the Federal Reserve Board have increased the threshold for the exception to $3.0 billion of consolidated assets. Consequently, bank holding companies with less than $3.0 billion of consolidated assets such as PB Bankshares are not subject to the consolidated holding company capital requirements unless otherwise directed by the Federal Reserve Board.
 Source of Strength. The Federal Reserve Board has issued regulations requiring that all bank holding companies serve as a source of strength to their subsidiary depository institutions by providing financial, managerial and other support in times of an institution's distress.
 Dividends and Stock Repurchases. The Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends by holding companies. In general, the policy provides that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the holding company appears consistent with the organization's capital needs, asset quality and overall supervisory financial condition. Separate regulatory guidance provides for prior consultation with Federal Reserve Bank staff concerning dividends in certain circumstances such as where the company's net income for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid over that period, is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or the company's overall rate or earnings retention is inconsistent with the company's capital needs and overall financial condition. The ability of a bank holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary savings bank becomes undercapitalized.
 The regulatory guidance also states that a bank holding company should consult with Federal Reserve Bank supervisory staff prior to redeeming or repurchasing common stock or perpetual preferred stock if the bank holding company is experiencing financial weaknesses or the repurchase or redemption would result in a net reduction, at the end of a quarter, in the amount of such equity instruments outstanding compared with the beginning of the quarter in which the redemption or repurchase occurred.
 There is a separate requirement that a bank holding company give the Federal Reserve Board prior written notice of any purchase or redemption of then outstanding equity securities if the gross consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with the net consideration paid for all such purchases or redemptions during the preceding 12 months, is equal to 10% or more of the company's consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve Board may disapprove such a purchase or redemption if it determines that the proposal would constitute an unsafe and unsound practice, or would violate any law, regulation, Federal Reserve Board order or directive, or any condition imposed by, or written agreement with, the Federal Reserve Board. There is an exception to this approval requirement for well-capitalized bank holding companies that meet certain other conditions.
 These regulatory policies may affect the ability of PB Bankshares to pay dividends, repurchase shares of common stock or otherwise engage in capital distributions.
 Federal Securities Laws
 PB Bankshares common stock is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. PB Bankshares is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 The registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of shares of common stock issued in PB Bankshares's public offering does not cover the resale of those shares. Shares of common stock purchased by persons who are not affiliates of PB Bankshares may be resold without registration. Shares purchased by an affiliate of PB Bankshares is subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. If PB Bankshares meets the current public information requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, each affiliate of PB Bankshares that complies with the other conditions of Rule 144, including those that require the affiliate's sale to be aggregated with those of other persons, would be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a number of shares not to exceed, in any three-month

 period, the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares of PB Bankshares, or the average weekly volume of trading in the shares during the preceding four calendar weeks.
 Emerging Growth Company Status
 We qualify as an "emerging growth company" and believe that we will continue to qualify as an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act for five years from the completion of the initial stock offering.
 An "emerging growth company" may choose not to hold stockholder votes to approve annual executive compensation (more frequently referred to as "say-on-pay" votes) or executive compensation payable in connection with a merger (more frequently referred to as "say-on-golden parachute" votes). An emerging growth company also is not subject to the requirement that its auditors attest to the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting, and can provide scaled disclosure regarding executive compensation; however, PB Bankshares will also not be subject to the auditor attestation requirement or additional executive compensation disclosure so long as it remains a "non-accelerated filer" and a "smaller reporting company," respectively, under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations (generally less than $75 million and $250 million, respectively, of voting and non-voting equity held by non-affiliates or less than $100 million in annual revenue). Finally, an emerging growth company may elect to comply with new or amended accounting pronouncements in the same manner as a private company, but must make such election when the company is first required to file a registration statement. PB Bankshares has elected to comply with new or amended accounting pronouncements in the same manner as a private company.
 A company loses emerging growth company status on the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year of the company during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1.23 billion or more; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the company pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933; (iii) the date on which such company has, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which such company is deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations (generally, at least $700 million of voting and non-voting equity held by non-affiliates).
 Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
 The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is intended to improve corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. We have policies, procedures and systems designed to comply with these regulations, and we review and document such policies, procedures and systems to ensure continued compliance with these regulations.
 Change in Control Regulations
 Under the Change in Bank Control Act, no person may acquire control of a bank holding company such as PB Bankshares unless the Federal Reserve Board has been given 60 days' prior written notice and has not issued a notice disapproving the proposed acquisition, taking into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the competitive effects of the acquisition. Control, as defined under federal law, means ownership, control of or holding irrevocable proxies representing more than 25% of any class of voting stock. Acquisition of more than 10% of any class of a bank holding company's voting stock constitutes a rebuttable determination of control under the regulations under certain circumstances including where, as is the case with PB Bankshares, the issuer has registered securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 In addition, federal regulations provide that no company may acquire control of a bank holding company without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board. Any company that acquires such control becomes a "bank holding company" subject to registration, examination and regulation by the Federal Reserve Board. In March 2020, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule, effective September 30, 2020, that revised its framework for determining whether a company has a "controlling influence" over a bank holding company for that purpose.

 TAXATION
 Federal Taxation
 General. PB Bankshares and Presence Bank are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize material federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to PB Bankshares and Presence Bank.
 Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, the Company and its subsidiaries currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a tax year ending December 31 for filing its federal income tax returns. PB Bankshares and Presence Bank will file a consolidated federal income tax return. The Small Business Protection Act of 1996 eliminated the use of the mutual savings bank bad debt reserve method of calculating the tax return bad debt deduction. For taxable years beginning after 1995, Presence Bank has been subject to the same bad debt reserve rules as commercial banks. It currently utilizes the specific charge-off method under Section 582(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
 Net Operating Loss Carryovers. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no federal net operating loss carryforwards.
 Capital Loss Carryovers. A corporation cannot recognize capital losses in excess of capital gains generated. Generally, a financial institution may carry back capital losses to the preceding three taxable years and forward to the succeeding five taxable years. Any capital loss carryback or carryover is treated as a short-term capital loss for the year to which it is carried. As such, it is grouped with any other capital losses for the year to which it is carried and is used to offset any capital gains. Any unutilized loss carryforward remaining after the five-year carryover period is not deductible. At December 31, 2024, the Company had no capital loss carryovers.
 Corporate Dividends. PB Bankshares may generally exclude from its income 100% of dividends received from Presence Bank as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations.
 Audit of Tax Returns. The Company's income tax returns have not been audited in the past five years.
 State Taxation
 Presence Bank currently files Pennsylvania Bank and Trust Company Shares Tax Report. Generally, the capital of stock institutions in Pennsylvania, which is calculated based on generally accepted accounting principles, subject to certain adjustments, is subject to Pennsylvania tax.
 As a Maryland business corporation, PB Bankshares is required to file an annual report with and pay franchise taxes to the state of Maryland. PB Bankshares files income tax returns in the states of Maryland and Pennsylvania.
 Item 1A. Risk Factors
 Not required for smaller reporting companies.
 Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
 Not applicable.
 Item 1C. Cybersecurity
 The Company has developed an information security program to assess, identify, and monitor cybersecurity risks. The Company regularly assesses cybersecurity risks arising from the operating environment and attempts to identify the likelihood and severity of the risk and the possible impact of the risk on the Company, its customers, and employees.

 The Company conducts periodic testing of software, hardware, defensive capabilities, and other information security systems utilizing both internal processes and third-party consultants. Testing procedures are supplemented by regular cyber threat exercises and employee training. Threat simulation exercises are used to develop and refine the Company's incident response plans and employees undergo cybersecurity awareness training on a regular basis.

 The Company also addresses cyber risks posed by its relationships with third-party vendors. The Company assesses vendor risk as a part of its vendor management process, which requires a pre-acquisition diligence review, including the review of the vendor's information security policy for all vendors determined to be a "critical vendor". The vendor management process also requires a review of all critical vendors annually and all critical vendors are reported to the Board of Directors.

 The Corporation's information security program is led by the Chief Information Officer in conjunction with Management and Board of Director IT Steering Committee. The Chief Information Officer has over 25 years of technology and cyber experience at community and regional banks. The Chief Information Officer currently serves as a member of the ISACA Harrisburg chapter for IT professionals and on the IT Steering Committee for the PA Bankers Association. The Board IT Steering Committee is responsible for oversight of the Company's cybersecurity and information security program and regularly reviews and evaluates information security and cybersecurity risks provided by management. The IT Steering Committee meets quarterly to evaluate and review the information presented by management. The Board Members on the IT Steering Committee or Chief Information Officer present a summary of the IT Steering Committee meetings to the Board on a quarterly basis.

 To date, the Company has not experienced any cybersecurity threats or incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, the sophistication of and risks from cybersecurity threats and incidents continues to increase, and the preventative actions the Company has taken and continues to take to reduce the risk of cybersecurity threats and incidents and protect its systems and information may not successfully protect against all cybersecurity threats and incidents.

 Item 3. Legal Proceedings
 From time to time, we are a party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of our business. As of December 31, 2024, we do not believe that any currently pending legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
 Not applicable.
 Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
 The common stock of PB Bankshares, Inc. has been listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "PBBK" since July 14, 2021. As of March 24, 2025, PB Bankshares, Inc. had approximately 168 stockholders of record. PB Bankshares has never paid dividends on its common stock.
 PB Bankshares may pay dividends on its common stock if, after giving effect to such dividends, it would be able to pay its debts in the usual course of business and its total assets would exceed the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights on dissolution are superior to those receiving the dividends. However, even if PB Bankshares's assets are less than the amount necessary to satisfy the requirement set forth above, PB Bankshares may pay dividends from: its net earnings for the fiscal year in which the distribution is made; its net earnings for the preceding fiscal year; or the sum of its net earnings for the preceding eight fiscal quarters. The holders of common stock of PB Bankshares will be entitled to receive and share equally in dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.
 We are also subject to certain restrictions on the payment of cash dividends as a result of banking laws, regulations and policies. The FRB has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends by bank holding companies. In general, the FRB's policy provides that dividends should be paid only to the extent that the company's net income for the past two years is sufficient to fund the dividends and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the bank holding company appears consistent with the organization's capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. The FRB has the authority to prohibit a bank holding company from paying dividends if such payment is deemed to be an unsafe or unsound practice.
 PB Bankshares is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiary, Presence Bank. There are various legal and regulatory restrictions on the extent to which Presence Bank can, among other things, finance or otherwise supply funds to PB Bankshares. Specifically, dividends from Presence Bank are the principal source of PB Bankshares's cash funds and there are certain legal restrictions under Pennsylvania law and regulations on the payment of dividends by state-chartered banks. The Pennsylvania Department of Banking, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board also have authority to prohibit PB Bankshares and Presence Bank from engaging in certain practices deemed to be unsafe and unsound. The payment of dividends could, depending upon the condition of PB Bankshares and Presence Bank, be deemed to constitute an unsafe and unsound practice.
 The Pennsylvania Banking Code regulates the distribution of dividends by banks and states, in part, that dividends may be declared and paid only out of accumulated net earnings. In addition, we may not declare and pay dividends from the surplus funds that Pennsylvania law requires that we maintain. Each year we will be required to set aside as surplus funds a sum equal to not less than 10% of our net earnings until the surplus funds equal 100% of our capital stock. We may invest surplus funds in the same manner as deposits, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, dividends may not be declared or paid if the Bank is in default on payment of any assessment due to the FDIC.

 Item 6. Reserved.
 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 This discussion and analysis reflects our financial information and other relevant statistical data, and is intended to enhance your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. The information in this section has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, which appear beginning on page 47 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. You should read the information in this section in conjunction with the business and financial information regarding the Company provided in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 Overview
 Our business has traditionally focused on originating fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans and offering retail deposit accounts. In September 2019, we hired our current president and chief executive officer, Janak M. Amin, and under his leadership team we have developed a commercial lending infrastructure, with a particular focus on expanding our commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan portfolios, to improve our interest rate risk exposure and increase interest income. Our primary market area now consists of Chester and Lancaster Counties and the surrounding Pennsylvania counties of Cumberland, Dauphin, and Lebanon. Management has also emphasized the importance of attracting commercial deposit accounts from its customers. As a result of these initiatives, we were able to increase our consolidated assets by $11.6 million, or 2.6%, from $439.7 million at December 31, 2023 to $451.3 million at December 31, 2024 and increase our deposits $21.2 million, or 6.4%, from $333.0 million at December 31, 2023 to $354.2 million at December 31, 2024.
 Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income and, to a lesser extent, noninterest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, debt securities and other interest-earning assets (primarily cash and cash equivalents), and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of savings accounts, demand accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit and borrowings. Noninterest income on a recurring basis consists primarily of debit card income, service charges on deposit accounts, earnings on bank owned life insurance, other service charges and other income. Our results of operations also are affected by our provision for credit losses and noninterest expense. Noninterest expense

 consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data and item processing costs, advertising and marketing, professional fees, directors' fees, FDIC insurance premiums, Pennsylvania shares tax, debit card expenses, and other expenses. Our results of operations also may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
 For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had net income of $1.8 million compared to net income of $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The year over year decrease in earnings of $147,000 was attributable to a decrease in net interest income and an increase in noninterest expense, partially offset by a decrease in the provision for credit losses, an increase in noninterest income and a decrease in income tax expense. Net interest income decreased $1.0 million due to the increase in interest expense on deposits as we increased our rates in the competitive market. In 2024, we had a $487,000 gain on sale of the land and building of a branch location in Oxford, Pennsylvania included in noninterest income. Coinciding with the sale of the Oxford Branch, the Bank relocated to a leased location less than 750 feet away from the previous branch.
 Business Strategy
 Our business strategy is to operate as a well-capitalized and profitable community bank dedicated to providing personal service to our individual and business customers. We believe that we have a competitive advantage in the markets we serve because of our over 100-year history in the community, and our knowledge of the local marketplace. Our culture is anchored in a philosophy that puts our employees, customers and communities at the forefront of everything we do. We are proud of our diverse and experienced team of employees and strive to be the most loved bank that allows families, customers and our communities to prosper. The following are the key elements of our business strategy:
 Grow our loan portfolio with a focus on increasing commercial real estate and commercial and industrial lending. Our principal business activity historically has been the origination of residential mortgage loans for retention in our loan portfolio. In September 2019, we hired our current president and chief executive officer, Janak M. Amin, and under his leadership team we have developed a commercial lending infrastructure, with a particular focus on expanding our commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan portfolios to improve our interest rate risk exposure and increase interest income. Our commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan portfolios increased from $201.4 million, or 61.7% of total loans at December 31, 2023, to $226.4 million, or 64.7% of total loans at December 31, 2024. We view the growth of commercial lending as a means of increasing our interest income and fee income while establishing relationships with local businesses. We intend to continue to build relationships with small and medium-sized businesses in our market area, targeting locally owned family businesses and not-for-profit organizations. During 2021, we opened a loan production office in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and in 2024 we opened an administrative office in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We expect to hire additional relationship-based loan officers to increase our presence in our market area. We believe all of these actions have properly positioned our institution to achieve prudent, organic and consistent growth in the future. The capital we raised in our initial public offering supported an increase in our lending limits, which enables us to expand existing customer relationships as well as provide capacity for new customers.
 Strategically Grow our Balance Sheet. As a result of our efforts to build our management team and infrastructure and given our long-time presence in our market area, we believe we are well positioned to increase, on a managed basis, our assets and liabilities, particularly loans and deposits. Presence Bank increased its gross loans and deposits $23.2 million, or 7.1%, and $21.2 million, or 6.4%, respectively, during 2024. We underwent a significant rebranding effort and have updated and improved our website, Internet and mobile banking and other technology infrastructure that prioritizes the customer experience and moves away from the traditional branch model. We also believe we can capitalize on commercial deposit and personal banking relationships derived from an increase in commercial real estate and commercial and industrial lending. Based on our attractive market area and our strategic investment in technology to enhance the customer experience, we believe we are well-positioned to strategically grow our balance sheet.
 Increase our share of lower-cost core deposits. We are making a concerted effort to reduce our reliance on higher cost certificates of deposit in favor of obtaining lower cost retail and commercial deposit accounts. Increasing our core deposits will provide a stable source of funds to support loan growth at costs consistent with improving our net interest rate spread and margin. We consider our core deposits to include demand deposit (checking), money market and savings

 accounts. During 2024, management continued an initiative which incentivized our commercial relationship officers to increase transaction accounts with our existing commercial customers. Despite our concentrated efforts, our core deposits decreased $7.1 million, or 3.8%, to $180.4 million at December 31, 2024 from $187.5 million at December 31, 2023 due to the highly competitive deposit market in the high interest rate environment. We have also made significant investments in our technology-based products. For example, we have enhanced our suite of deposit related products, including remote deposit capture, commercial cash management, mobile deposits and smart safes in order to accommodate business customers and a new Internet banking platform to create long-lasting retail deposits. We plan to continue to aggressively market our core transaction accounts, emphasizing our high-quality service and competitive pricing of these products while also making further investments in technology so that we can continue to deliver high-quality, innovative products and services to our customers.
 Organically grow through loan production offices and through opportunistic bank or branch acquisitions. As a result of our executive management team and increased relationship-based personnel, we expect to grow organically. In 2021, we opened a loan production office in Harrisburg (Dauphin County, Pennsylvania) and in 2024 we opened an Administrative Office in Lancaster (Lancaster County, Pennsylvania). We expect to establish one to two additional loan production offices to support lending teams in our core markets such as Chester and Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania in future years. We believe opening loan production offices is a more cost-effective method of expansion which can lead to the establishment of branch offices in the future if market conditions warrant. We will seek to expand our presence in Chester, Lancaster, Dauphin, Lebanon and Cumberland Counties, Pennsylvania.
 Manage credit risk to maintain a low level of non-performing assets. We believe strong asset quality is a key to our long-term financial success. Our strategy for credit risk management focuses on having an experienced team of credit professionals, well-defined policies and procedures, conservative loan underwriting criteria and active credit monitoring. In 2022, we hired our Chief Risk and Credit Officer, who has over 35 years of industry experience. Our Chief Risk and Credit Officer is working diligently to enhance the processes of our current team with his vast knowledge and experience. Our nonperforming assets to total assets ratio was 0.25% at December 31, 2024, compared to 0.32% at December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2024, the majority of our nonperforming assets were related to commercial real estate loans. We will continue to increase our investment in our credit review function, both in experienced personnel as well as ancillary systems, as necessary, in order to be able to evaluate more complex loans and better manage credit risk, which will also support our intended loan growth.
 Critical Accounting Estimates
 The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. The estimates and assumptions that we use are based on historical experience and various other factors and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.
 The following represents our critical accounting estimates:
 Allowance for credit losses on loans. The allowance for credit losses on loans represents management's best estimate of expected lifetime credit losses within the Company's loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through a provision for credit losses and is increased by recoveries of loans previously charged off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management's assessments confirm that the Company will not collect the full amortized cost basis of a loan. The calculation of expected credit losses is determined using cash flow methodology, and includes considerations of historical data, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts that may affect collection of the recorded balances. The Company assesses an allowance to groups of loans which share similar risk characteristics or on an individual basis, as deemed appropriate. Changes in the allowance for credit losses on loans, and as a result, the related provision for credit losses, can materially affect financial results. Although the overall balance is

 determined based on specific portfolio segments and individually assessed assets, the entire balance is available to absorb credit losses for loans in the portfolio.

 Management of the Company considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for credit losses to be a critical accounting estimate given the uncertainty in evaluating the level of the allowance required to cover management's estimate of all expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of our loan portfolios. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, including making significant estimates of current credit risks and trends using existing quantitative and qualitative information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, which may undergo frequent and material changes. Subsequent evaluations of the then-existing loan portfolios, in light of changes in economic conditions, new information regarding existing loans and other factors, may result in significant changes in the allowance for credit losses in those future periods. For example, changes to the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) forecasted civilian unemployment rate and year-over-year U.S. GDP growth could have a material impact on the model's estimation of the allowance for credit losses on loans. An immediate increase of 150 basis points in the FOMC's projected rate of civilian unemployment and a decrease of 100 basis points in the FOMC's projected rate of U.S. GDP growth would increase the model's total calculated allowance for credit losses on loans by $42,000, or 1.0%, assuming all other qualitative adjustments are kept at current levels. While management's current evaluation of the allowance for credit losses indicates the allowance is appropriate, the allowance may need to be increased under different conditions or assumptions. Additionally, changes in those factors and inputs may not occur at the same rate and inputs may be directionally inconsistent, such that improvements in one factor may offset deterioration in others. The impact of utilizing an expected credit losses approach to estimate the allowance for credit losses can and will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan portfolios, as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts utilized. Material changes to these and other relevant factors may result in greater volatility to the allowance for credit losses, and therefore, greater volatility to our reported earnings.

 The Company's management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on loans on at least a quarterly basis. Refer to Note 1 – "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Part II, Item 8. of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional details concerning the determination of the allowance for credit losses on loans.

 Comparison of Balance Sheets at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023
 Total Assets. Total assets increased $11.6 million, or 2.6%, to $451.3 million at December 31, 2024 from $439.7 million at December 31, 2023, primarily reflecting increases in net loans receivable and cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a decrease in debt securities available-for-sale.
 Cash and cash equivalents increased by $5.4 million, or 16.5%, to $37.8 million at December 31, 2024 from $32.4 million at December 31, 2023 due to management intentionally increasing liquidity during 2024 and investing in less debt securities available-for-sale at December 31, 2024.
 Net loans receivable increased $23.4 million, or 7.3%, to $344.8 million at December 31, 2024 from $321.4 million at December 31, 2023 due primarily to increases in commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans and consumer and other loans, partially offset by a decrease in one-to four-family residential real estate loans. Commercial real estate loans increased $20.3 million, or 11.0%, to $205.2 million at December 31, 2024 from $184.9 million at December 31, 2023. One- to four-family residential real estate loans decreased $5.0 million, or 4.6%, to $103.5 million at December 31, 2024 from $108.5 million at December 31, 2023. Commercial and industrial loans increased $4.7 million, or 28.6%, to $21.3 million at December 31, 2024 from $16.6 million at December 31, 2023. Consumer and other loans increased $3.4 million, or 58.6%, to $9.3 million at December 31, 2024 from $5.8 million at December 31, 2023. Construction real estate loans decreased $313,000, or 2.9%, to $10.5 million at December 31, 2024 from $10.8 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans was primarily due to our strategy to expand our commercial loan portfolio to improve our interest rate risk exposure and increase interest income. The decrease in one- to four-family residential real estate was primarily due to amortization of scheduled payments and loan payoffs.

 Management is monitoring the commercial real estate portfolio and concentrations, assessing their associated risks. As part of its risk management process, the Bank segments and stress tests its non-owner occupied commercial real estate portfolio. Approximately 83.5% or $126.2 million of this portfolio was subject to stress testing (loans having exposure under $500,000 and construction loans are not subject to stress testing). The commercial real estate portfolio has an average Loan-to-Value ratio of 59.2% and a Debt Service Coverage ratio of 1.41 times, exclusive of any sponsor or guarantor support at December 31, 2024. The commercial real estate portfolio is diverse with respect to both property type as well as location with limited concentrations.

 The Bank's hospitality portfolio is an area of market focus. Loan exposure to this segment totaled $25.5 million (seven hotel properties) at December 31, 2024. The average Loan-to-Value ratio was low at 58.5% with a strong Debt Service Coverage ratio of 1.90 times, exclusive of any sponsor or guarantor support at December 31, 2024. Two hotels were newly acquired; therefore, the debt service coverage is based on the projected cash flow. Guarantor support for the hospitality sector is strong and loans are supported by experienced hotel operators.

 Debt securities available-for-sale decreased $17.8 million, or 26.2%, to $50.3 million at December 31, 2024 from $68.1 million at December 31, 2023 due to funding loans with securities maturity proceeds. The Company had maturities and calls of securities of $49.5 million combined with $596,000 of principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by purchases of $24.7 million of treasury securities, $4.4 million of corporate bonds and $1.5 million of mortgage-backed securities, an increase in the fair market value of debt securities available-for-sale of $1.2 million and $460,000 in net accretion of discounts and premiums. The remaining weighted average life of our debt securities available for sale portfolio was 1.29 years at December 31, 2024.

 Premises and equipment increased by $22,000, or 1.1%, to $2.1 million at December 31, 2024, due to additions of $371,000 primarily on leasehold improvements at our Lancaster administrative office, partially offset by depreciation and amortization of fixed assets of $224,000 and the sale of the Oxford Branch that had a book value of $135,000 at the time of the sale.
 Bank owned life insurance increased by $218,000, or 2.6%, to $8.5 million at December 31, 2024 from $8.2 million at December 31, 2023, primarily due to the earnings on the existing policies.
 Restricted stock decreased by $465,000, or 18.0%, to $2.1 million at December 31, 2024 from $2.6 million at December 31, 2023 due to the redemption of Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh stock in conjunction with decreased borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh during 2024.
 Deposits and Borrowings. Total deposits increased $21.2 million, or 6.4%, to $354.2 million at December 31, 2024 from $333.0 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in our deposits reflected a $28.2 million increase in certificates of deposit, and a $5.4 million increase in noninterest-bearing demand accounts, partially offset by a $8.6 million decrease in money market accounts, a $2.3 million decrease in interest-bearing demand accounts and a $1.4 million decrease in savings accounts. The increase in certificates of deposit was due to brokered deposits increasing in 2024 to increase liquidity. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased primarily due to increased deposit customers from commercial accounts offering cash management services. The money market, interest-bearing and savings accounts decreased as the result of customers needing their liquidity for business needs and moving funds to higher yielding bank products.
 Total borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh decreased $12.6 million, or 22.9%, to $42.5 million at December 31, 2024 from $55.1 million at December 31, 2023 due to $12.6 million of repayments on maturing and amortizing advances. There were no new Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh borrowings during 2024.
 Stockholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity increased $1.7 million, or 3.6%, to $48.7 million at December 31, 2024 from $47.0 million at December 31, 2023. The increase was due to net income of $1.8 million for 2024, a decrease of $942,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a result of an increase in the fair market value of our debt securities available-for-sale during 2024, stock based compensation expense of $553,000 and allocation of $170,000 of Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") shares, partially offset by a decrease of $1.8 million in additional paid in capital for repurchases of common stock.

 Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023
 General. Net income decreased $147,000 to $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The $147,000 year over year decrease in earnings was attributable to a $1.0 million decrease in net interest income and a $394,000 increase in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $669,000 decrease in the provision for credit losses, a $528,000 increase in noninterest income and a $70,000 decrease in income tax expense.
 Interest Income. Total interest income increased $3.7 million, or 18.4%, to $23.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $19.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in interest income resulted from a $41.4 million increase year over year in the average balance of interest-earning assets, primarily in loans, cash and cash equivalents and debt securities available-for-sale, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of restricted stocks. In addition, interest income increased due to a 35 basis points increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets from 5.02% for 2023 to 5.37% for 2024.
 Interest income on loans, including fees, increased $2.5 million, or 14.8%, to $19.5 million for 2024 from $17.0 million for 2023. The increase in interest income on loans resulted from an increase in the average balance of loans of $24.3 million to $342.9 million for 2024 from $318.6 million for 2023. The increase in the average balance of loans was due primarily to an increase in the average balances of commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans reflecting our strategy to grow commercial lending. In addition, the increase in interest income on loans was also due to a 36 basis points increase in the average yield on loans from 5.34% for 2023 to 5.70% for 2024 due to the higher interest rate environment.
 Interest and dividend income on securities and restricted stock increased $139,000, or 13.3%, to $1.2 million for 2024 from $1.0 million for 2023. The increase in interest income on debt and equity securities of $108,000, or 12.4%, to $977,000 for 2024 from $869,000 for 2023 was due to a 26 basis points increase in the average yield on debt and equity securities to 2.61% in 2024 from 2.35% in 2023 and an increase in the average balance of debt and equity securities of $344,000, or 0.9%, to $37.4 million in 2024 from $37.0 million in 2023. The average yield on debt and equity securities increased due to investing in higher yielding corporate bonds in 2024. The increase in the average balance of debt and equity securities was due to purchases of corporate bonds in community bank issuers, an additional CRA investment in the mortgage-backed securities portfolio and short term treasury securities with excess liquidity. Restricted stock income increased $31,000, or 17.6%, to $207,000 for 2024 from $176,000 for 2023 due to a 147 basis points increase in the average yield on restricted stocks to 8.76% for 2024 from 7.29% for 2023, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of restricted stocks of $48,000, or 2.0%. The increase in average yield on restricted stock was due to the Federal Home Loan Bank dividend being increased in 2024 and the average balance decreased for 2024 due to the decrease in average borrowings.
 Interest income on cash and cash equivalents increased $1.0 million, to $2.8 million in 2024, from $1.8 million in 2023. The increase in interest income on cash and cash equivalents was attributable to an increase in the average balance of cash and cash equivalents of $16.8 million, or 44.2%, to $54.7 million in 2024 from $37.9 million in 2023 due to leaving excess liquidity in cash instead of investing in debt and equity securities. In addition, an increase in the average yield on cash and cash equivalents of 38 basis points to 5.06% for 2024 from 4.68% for 2023 was a result of the increase in market interest rates.
 Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $4.7 million or 60.6% to $12.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 as a result of increases in interest expense on deposits, partially offset by the decrease in interest expense on borrowings. The increase in interest expense reflected a 103 basis points increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 2.31% for 2023 to 3.34% for 2024 and a $38.9 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $371.3 million for 2024 from $332.4 million for 2023.
 Interest expense on deposits increased $4.7 million, or 79.5%, to $10.6 million for 2024 from $5.9 million for 2023 as a result of a 119 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits and an increase of $40.9 million in the average balance of our interest-bearing deposits. The weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased 119 basis points to 3.29% for 2024 from 2.10% for 2023 as a result of the higher interest rate environment and competition for

 deposits. The average cost of certificates of deposit, traditionally our higher costing deposits, increased to 4.46% for 2024 from 2.99% for 2023 and the average cost of transaction accounts (traditionally our lower costing deposit accounts consisting of demand, savings, and money market accounts) increased by 71 basis points to 2.15% for 2024 from 1.44% for 2023. The increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit which increased by $39.7 million to $159.4 million for 2024 from $119.7 million for 2023 was due to using brokered deposits to increase liquidity. The average balance of interest-bearing transaction accounts increased $1.2 million to $162.9 million for 2024 from $161.6 million for 2023. The increase in the average balance of our transaction accounts primarily reflected management efforts to grow the lower cost deposits.
 Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings decreased $22,000, or 1.2%, to $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings was caused by a decrease of $2.0 million in our average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings to $49.0 million for 2024 compared to $51.0 million for 2023 as a result of maturing Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings not being replaced in 2024, partially offset by the average cost of these funds increasing 15 basis points from 3.49% in 2023 to 3.64% in 2024 due to the higher interest rate environment for most of 2024.
 Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $1.0 million, or 8.4%, to $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in net interest income from 2023 to 2024 was primarily due to the increase in interest expense on deposits, partially offset by the increases in interest income on loans, cash and cash equivalents and investment securities. Our net interest margin decreased 53 basis points to 2.54% for 2024 from 3.07% for 2023. Our net interest rate spread decreased 68 basis points to 2.03% for 2024 from 2.71% for 2023. Average net interest-earning assets increased by $2.5 million to $66.1 million for 2024 from $63.6 million for 2023.
 Provision for Credit Losses. We charge provisions for credit losses to operations in order to maintain our allowance for credit losses on loans and reserve for unfunded commitments at a level that is considered reasonable and necessary to absorb expected credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and expected losses on commitments to grant loans that are expected to be advanced at the consolidated balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance for credit losses, we consider our past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and the levels of non-performing and other classified loans. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or conditions change. We assess the allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis and make provisions for credit losses in order to maintain the allowance.
 Based on our evaluation of the above factors and the balance required per our analysis, we recorded a $37,000 reversal of the provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to a $632,000 provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2023. The reversal of provision for credit losses was primarily due to lower qualitative factor allocations within the Company's current expected credit losses methodology and a lower required allowance for unfunded commitments. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $4.4 million, or 1.25%, of loans outstanding at December 31, 2024 and $4.5 million, or 1.38%, of loans outstanding at December 31, 2023.
 To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded our best estimate of expected losses in the loan portfolio and for unfunded commitments at December 31, 2024. 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 Pennsylvania Department of Banking and the FDIC, as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically review 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 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.

 Noninterest income increased by $528,000, or 67.3%, to $1.3 million for 2024 from $785,000 for 2023. The increase in noninterest income resulted primarily from gains in 2024 versus losses in 2023 resulting from the disposal of premises and equipment. The gain on disposal of premises and equipment was $494,000 in 2024 as a result of the sale of the branch location in Oxford, Pennsylvania for a sales price of $626,000. Coinciding with the sale of the Oxford Branch, the Bank relocated to a leased location less than 750 feet away from the previous branch. The loss on disposal of premises and equipment of $52,000 in 2023 was primarily a result of replacing the non-depository ATMs with full functioning ATMs as a continued investment in our infrastructure and technology.

 Noninterest expense increased $394,000, or 4.0%, to $10.2 million in 2024 from $9.8 million in 2023. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily the result of increases in salaries and employee benefits expense of $165,000, professional fees of $165,000 and data and item processing expense of $135,000. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $165,000 primarily due to the hiring of additional staff and annual salary increases. Professional fees increased $165,000 primarily due to legal expenses increasing in 2024. Data and item processing increased $135,000, primarily due to investment in our information technology infrastructure.
 Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $70,000, or 12.8%, to $475,000 for 2024 from $545,000 for 2023 due to the decrease in income before income tax expense. The effective tax rate was 21.1% in 2024 compared to 22.1% in 2023. The decrease in the effective tax rate was attributable to a decrease in nondeductible expenses.

 Average Balances and Yields. The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the years indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made, as the effects would be immaterial. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources
 Liquidity Management. 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, and proceeds from sales, maturities and calls of securities. We also have the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. At December 31, 2024, we had the ability to borrow approximately $179.5 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, of which $42.5 million had been advanced in addition to $7.0 million held in reserve to secure three letters of credit to collateralize municipal deposits. Additionally, at December 31, 2024, we had the ability to borrow $7.5 million from the Atlantic Community Bankers Bank, $5.0 million from SouthState Bank, N.A. and we also had access to $1.9 million through the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia discount window at December 31, 2024. We did not borrow against the credit lines with the Atlantic Community Bankers Bank, SouthState Bank, N.A. or the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia during the year ended December 31, 2024, except to do our annual testing on the lines.
 The board of directors is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We seek to maintain a liquidity ratio of 5.0% or greater. For the year ended December 31, 2024, our liquidity ratio averaged 15.1%. We believe that we had enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our short and long-term liquidity needs as of December 31, 2024.

 We monitor and adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan demand; (2) expected deposit flows; (3) yields available on cash and cash equivalents and securities; and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in cash and cash equivalents and short-and intermediate-term securities.
 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 cash equivalents, which include federal funds sold. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled $37.8 million. Unpledged debt securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $26.7 million at December 31, 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. Certificates of deposit due within one year of December 31, 2024, totaled $151.1 million, or 86.9% of our certificates of deposit, and 42.7% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or borrowings than we currently pay. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
 Capital Management. At December 31, 2024, Presence Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements to which it was subject and was considered "well capitalized" under regulatory guidelines. See "Regulation and Supervision—Federal Bank Regulation—Capital Requirements" and Note 13 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.
 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 December 31, 2024, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $24.0 million, unused lines of credit totaling $12.4 million and $6.7 million in stand-by letters of credit outstanding. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current lending commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from December 31, 2024 totaled $151.1 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize Federal Home Loan Bank advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new deposits, 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 equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities.
 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 Please refer to Note 1 to the Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 beginning on page 52 for a description of recent accounting pronouncements that may affect our balance sheet and results of operations.

 Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
 The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than does inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

 1. Significant Accounting Policies
 Organization and Nature of Operations
 PB Bankshares, Inc., a Maryland Corporation (the "Company") is the holding company of Presence Bank (the "Bank") and was formed in connection with the conversion of the Bank from the mutual to the stock form of organization. On July 14, 2021, the mutual to stock conversion of the Bank was completed and the Company became the parent holding company for the Bank. Shares of the Company began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on July 15, 2021. The Company is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Bank").

 The Bank is a state-chartered savings bank established in 1919. The main office is located in Coatesville, Pennsylvania with three other branches located in New Holland, Oxford, and Georgetown Pennsylvania. The Bank is principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using these deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to make loans primarily secured by real estate and, to a lesser extent, consumer loans. The Bank competes with other banking and financial institutions in its primary market communities encompassing Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, and Lebanon Counties in Pennsylvania. The Bank is regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities.

 Principles of Consolidation and Reclassifications
 The consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. The Bank also includes the accounts of CSB Investments, Inc. ("CSB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank located in Wilmington, Delaware. The sole purpose of CSB is to maintain and manage its investment portfolio. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders' equity.
 Use of Estimates
 The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 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 on loans.
 While management uses available information to recognize estimated losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for credit losses on loans may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and underlying collateral values, if any. In addition, the FDIC and Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for credit losses. These agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examinations.
 Concentration of Credit Risk
 Most of the Company's activities are with customers located within Chester, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, and Lebanon Counties of Pennsylvania. Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements discuss the types of securities that the Company invests in. Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements discuss the types of lending that the Company engages in. The Company does not have any significant loan concentrations to any one industry or customer. Although

 the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is influenced by the region's economy and real estate values.
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash due from banks, interest bearing deposits with banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.
 The Company maintains cash deposits in other depository institutions that occasionally exceed the amount of deposit insurance available. Management periodically assesses the financial condition of these institutions and believes that the risk of any possible credit loss is minimal.
 Debt Securities
 Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.
 Securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as held to maturity and are carried at their remaining unpaid principal balance, net of unamortized premiums, or unaccreted discounts. At December 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the years then ended, the Company had no investment securities classified as held to maturity.
 Securities that will be held for indefinite periods of time, including securities that may be sold in response to changes in market interest or prepayment rates, needs for liquidity and changes in the availability of and the yield of alternative investments are classified as available-for-sale. These securities are carried at fair value, which is determined by obtaining quoted market prices or matrix pricing. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes. Realized gains and losses are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method. Purchase premiums are recognized in interest income using the effective interest rate method over the period from purchase to maturity or, for callable securities, the earliest call date, and purchase discounts are recognized in the same manner from purchase to maturity.
 On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which eliminated the previous concept of other-than-temporary impairment for available for sale securities (see Allowance for Credit Losses on Securities below).
 Allowance for Credit Losses on Securities
 Management classifies its debt securities at the time of purchase as available for sale or held to maturity. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, all debt securities were classified as available for sale, meaning that the Company intends to hold them for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity.
 With the adoption of current expected credit losses (CECL) standard on January 1, 2023, the previous concept of other-than-temporary impairment for available for sale securities has been eliminated. Impairment of debt securities occurs when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost. For debt securities available for sale, impairment is recognized in its entirety in net income if either (i) we intend to sell the security or (ii) it is more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If, however, the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, the Company evaluates unrealized losses to determine whether a decline in fair value below amortized cost basis is a result of a credit loss, which occurs when the amortized cost basis of the security exceeds the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the security, or other factors such as changes in market interest rates. If a credit loss exists, an allowance for credit losses is recorded that reflects the amount of the impairment related to credit

 losses, limited by the amount by which the security's amortized cost basis exceeds its fair value. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in net income in the period of change and are included in provision for credit losses. Changes in the fair value of debt securities available for sale not resulting from credit losses are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The Company regularly reviews unrealized losses in its investments in securities and cash flows expected to be collected from impaired securities based on criteria including the extent to which market value is below amortized cost, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer, the Company's intention with regard to holding the security to maturity and the likelihood that the Company would be required to sell the security before recovery. In evaluating its available for sale debt securities, the Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis.
 For held to maturity securities an estimate of current expected credit loss must be established at the time of purchase with changes in estimated credit loss recognized in the allowance for credit losses through the provision for credit losses.
 Equity Securities
 Equity securities are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in net income. Equity securities without readily determined fair values are carried at cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment.
 Restricted Investments in Bank Stocks
 Restricted stock, which represents required investments in the common stock of correspondent banks, is carried at cost and consists of the common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh ("FHLB") of $ 2,065,000 and $ 2,530,000 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and Atlantic Community Bankers Bank ("ACBB") of $ 60,000 as of both December 31, 2024 and 2023.
 Management evaluates the restricted stock for impairment. Management's determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. Management believes no impairment charge was necessary related to restricted stocks in 2024 and 2023.
 Loans Receivable
 Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of an allowance for credit losses and any deferred fees or costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) of the related loans. The Company is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loan. Premiums and discounts on purchased loans are amortized as adjustments to interest income using the effective yield method over the life of the loan.
 The loans receivable portfolio is segmented into one- to four-family residential real estate, commercial real estate, construction, commercial and industrial, and consumer loans. Descriptions of the Company's loan classes are as follows:
 One- to four-family Residential Real Estate Loans: This segment of loans includes loans secured by one- to four-family homes. In addition to traditional residential mortgage loans secured by a first or junior lien on the property, the Company offers home equity lines of credit.
 Commercial Real Estate Loans: This loan segment consists primarily of loans secured by various types of commercial real estate typically in the Company's market area, including multi-family residential buildings, office and retail buildings, medical, industrial and warehouse buildings, hotels, and religious facilities.

 Construction: The Company originates construction loans for the acquisition and development of land and construction of commercial buildings, condominiums, townhomes, and one- to four-family residences.
 Commercial and Industrial Loans: Commercial loans may be unsecured or secured with non-real estate commercial property. The Company makes commercial loans to businesses located within its market area and also to businesses outside of its market area through loan participations with other financial institutions.
 Consumer Loans: Consumer loans include all loans made to individuals for consumer or personal purposes. They include secured loans, unsecured loans, and overdraft lines of credit. The Company makes consumer loans to individuals located within its market area and occasionally to individuals outside of its market.
 For all classes of loans receivable, the accrual of interest is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and unpaid interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for credit losses. Interest received on nonaccrual loans, including impaired loans, generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management's judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time (generally six months) and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. The past due status of all classes of loans receivable is determined based on contractual due dates for loan payments.
 Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
 The allowance for credit losses on loans is established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance for credit losses for the difference between the carrying value of the loan and the estimated net realizable value or fair value of the collateral, if collateral dependent, when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

 The allowance represents management's current estimate of expected credit losses over the contractual term of loans, and is recorded at an amount that, in management's judgment, reduces the recorded investment in loans to the net amount expected to be collected. No allowance for credit losses are recorded on accrued interest receivable and amounts written-off are reversed by an adjustment to interest income. Management's judgment in determining the level of the allowance is based on evaluations of historical loan losses, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts relevant to the collectability of loans. Loans that share common risk characteristics are evaluated collectively using a cash flow approach for all loans. The cash flow approach used by the Company utilizes loan-level cash flow projections and pool-level assumptions. For all loan pools, cash flow projections and estimated expected losses are based in part on benchmarked peer data.

 Management's estimate of the allowance for credit losses on loans that are collectively evaluated also includes a qualitative assessment of available information relevant to assessing collectability that is not captured in the loss estimation process. This includes forecasts that are reasonable and supportable concerning expectations of future economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

 These qualitative risk factors may include, but are not limited to:
 1.
 Lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices.

 2.
 National, regional, and local economic and business conditions as well as the condition of various market segments, including the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans.

 3.
 Nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans.

 4.
 Volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans as well as other loan modifications.

 5.
 Existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations.

 6.
 Effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements.

 7.
 Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff.

 8.
 Quality of loan review and Board of Director oversight.

 9.
 The effect of other external factors (i.e. competition, legal and regulatory requirements) on the level of estimated credit losses.

 10.
 Changes in inflationary environment.

 11.
 Changes in the interest rate environment.

 Each factor is assigned a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on management's best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. Adjustments to the factors are supported through documentation of changes in conditions in a narrative accompanying the allowance for credit losses calculation for our loan portfolio.

 The evaluation also considers the following risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment:

 One- to four-family residential real estate loans carry risks associated with the continued creditworthiness of the borrower and changes in the value of the collateral.

 Commercial real estate loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of a business or a real estate project, in addition to other risks associated with the ownership of real estate, because repayment of these loans may be dependent upon the profitability and cash flows of the business or project.

 Construction loans carry risks that the project may not be finished according to schedule, the project may not be finished according to budget, and the value of the collateral may, at any point in time, be less than the principal amount of the loan. Construction loans also bear the risk that the general contractor, who may or may not be a loan customer, may be unable to finish the construction project as planned because of financial pressure or other factors unrelated to the project.

 Commercial and industrial loans carry risks associated with the successful operation of a business because repayment of these loans may be dependent upon the profitability and cash flows of the business. In addition, there is risk associated with the value of collateral other than real estate which may depreciate over time and cannot be appraised with as much reliability.

 Consumer loans carry risk associated with the continued creditworthiness of the borrower and the value of the collateral, if any. These loans are typically either unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciating assets.

 They are also likely to be immediately and adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness, personal bankruptcy, or other changes in circumstances.

 Loans that do not share common risk characteristics with other loans are evaluated individually and are not included in the collective analysis. The allowance for credit losses on loans that are individually evaluated may be estimated based on their expected cash flows, or, in the case of loans for which repayment is expected substantially through the operation or sale of collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, may be measured based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell.

 An unallocated component of the allowance for credit losses is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of expected losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating expected losses in the portfolio.

 Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments
 The Company records a reserve, reported in other liabilities, for expected credit losses on commitments to extend credit that are not unconditionally cancelable by the Company. The reserve for unfunded commitments is measured based on the principles utilized in estimating the allowance for credit losses on loans and an estimate of the amount of unfunded commitments expected to be advanced. Changes in the reserve for unfunded commitments are recorded through the provision for credit losses.

 Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is charged to operations on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets or, in the case of leasehold improvements, the lease period, if shorter. Gains or losses on dispositions are reflected in current operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
 Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)
 Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure establishing a new cost basis. Any write-downs based on the asset's fair value less cost to sell at date of foreclosure are charged to the allowance for credit losses. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the real estate is carried at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and write-downs are included in other noninterest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses on the sale of OREO, if any, are included in noninterest expense.
 Bank Owned Life Insurance
 The Company has invested in bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") covering certain employees. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of these policies. This life insurance investment is carried at the cash surrender value of the underlying policies. Income from the increase in cash surrender value of the policies is included in noninterest income on the consolidated statements of operations. The policies can be liquidated, if necessary, with tax costs associated. However, the Company intends to hold these policies and, accordingly, the Company has not provided for deferred income taxes on the earnings from the increase in cash surrender value.
 Income Taxes
 The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the income tax accounting guidance set forth in FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes.

 The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss carryforwards, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.
 Deferred income tax expense (benefit) results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of the evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management's judgment.
 The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with its subsidiary.
 As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties. It is the Company's policy to account for interest and penalties accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Federal and state tax returns for the years 2021 through 2023 were open for examination as of December 31, 2024.
 Transfers of Financial Assets
 Transfers of financial assets, including loan participation sales, are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
 Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
 In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets when they are funded.
 Retirement Plans
 Pension expense is the net of service and interest cost, return on plan assets and amortization of gains and losses not immediately recognized. Employee 401(k) and profit sharing plan expense is the amount of matching contributions. Deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the benefits over years of service.
 Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 The cost of shares issued to the ESOP, but not yet allocated to participants, is shown as a reduction of stockholders' equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to be released to participant accounts.
 Stock-Based Compensation
 The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the ASC Topic 718, "Stock Compensation." ASC Topic 718 requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements (with limited exceptions). The amount of compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued and forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. Fair value is based on a Black-Scholes pricing model for options and the closing share price for the Company's stock for other unvested awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the period that an employee provides services in exchange for the award. The Company allows the employee to use shares to satisfy employer income tax withholding obligations.
 Earnings per Common Share
 Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under share-based compensation arrangements.
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect these estimates.
 Advertising
 The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.
 Comprehensive Income
 Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in results of operations. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains or losses on securities available-for-sale, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.
 Segment Reporting
 The Company's financial results are considered to be aggregated into one reportable operating segment with revenue derived from the business of community banking. Through its community banking segment, the Company offers a full range of products and services through various delivery channels. The banking products and services include the acceptance of deposits in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, savings deposits, money market deposits and certificate of deposits; the origination and servicing of real estate one-to four-family residential, real estate commercial, real estate construction, commercial and industrial and consumer and other loans; and other services including wire transfers. The community banking segment derives revenues mainly from interest income on loans to customers, investment securities held and fees and income related to the services listed above.

 The accounting policies of the community banking segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are the Chief Operating Decision Makers (CODMs). The CODMs are responsible for the day-to-day management of the company, including regularly reviewing the operating and financial performance of the Company on a consolidated basis.

 The primary measure of financial performance is consolidated net income which is used to assess performance and make decisions about resource allocation. Net income is used to monitor budget versus actual results as well as comparing prior year's results. The comparative analysis along with the monitoring of budget versus actual results are used in assessing the performance of the segment. The presentation of financial performance to the CODMs is consistent with amounts and financial statement lines shown in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of income. The Company's significant expenses are segmented by category and amount in the consolidated statements of income to include all significant items including salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data and item processing, advertising and marketing, professional fees, Directors' fees, FDIC insurance premiums, Pennsylvania shares tax, debit card expense and other general operating expenses.

 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 This section provides a summary description of recent Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) that had or that management expects may have an impact on the consolidated financial statements issued upon adoption. The Company is classified as an emerging growth company and has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with any new or revised financial accounting standards provided pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. Effective dates reflect this election.

 Recently Issued, But Not Yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements

 In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, which is greater than five percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income by the entity's applicable statutory rate, on an annual basis. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions that are equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). Lastly, the amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, for public business entities. For entities other than public business entities the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." ASU 2024-03 requires public companies to disclose, in the notes to the financial statements, specific information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period. This includes disclosing amounts related to employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In addition, public companies will need to provide qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2025-01, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date", which amends the effective date of ASU 2024-03 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in

 ASU 2024-03 in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU 2024-03 is permitted. Implementation of ASU 2024-03 may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." The amendments in this ASU are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). Additionally, this ASU requires that at least one of the reported segment profit and loss measures should be the measure that is most consistent with the measurement principles used in an entity's consolidated financial statements. Lastly, this ASU requires public business entities with a single reportable segment to provide all disclosures required by these amendments in this ASU and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard as of December 31, 2024 and the Company did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. See discussion above in Note 1 for more details.

 As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations included in the securities portfolio consist of securities issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies. There were no private label mortgage-backed securities held in the securities portfolio as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
 At December 31, 2024, 46 agency bonds had an unrealized loss of 2.81 % from the Company's cost basis, one corporate bond had an unrealized loss of 2.67 % from the Company's cost basis, two mortgage-backed securities had an unrealized loss 2.06 % from the Company's cost basis and 33 collateralized mortgage obligation had an unrealized loss of 8.70 % from the Company's cost basis. At December 31, 2023, 49 agency bonds had an unrealized loss of 6.00 % from the Company's cost basis and 33 collateralized mortgage obligation had an unrealized loss of 8.73 % from the Company's cost basis. In analyzing an issuer's financial condition, management considers whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred and industry analysts' reports.
 As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, management believes that the estimated fair value of securities disclosed above is primarily dependent upon the movement in market interest rates particularly given the negligible inherent credit risk associated with these securities. Although the fair value will fluctuate as the market interest rates move, management believes that these fair values will recover as the underlying portfolios mature and are reinvested in market yielding investments. Additionally, all securities remain highly rated and all issuers have continued to make timely payments of interest and principal.
 As the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company concluded that a credit loss did not exist in its portfolio at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and therefore, no allowance for credit losses was recorded.

 There were no securities sold during 2024 and 2023. The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities available-for-sale at December 31, 2024, by contractual maturity with yields, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties (dollars in thousands).

 At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had accrued interest receivable on available for sale debt
 securities totaling $ 83,000 and $ 46,000, respectively.

 3. Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
 On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables. All loan information presented as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 is in accordance with ASC 326.

 The Company's loans are stated at their face amount and consist of the classes of loans included in the table below. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable, totaling $ 1.3 million at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, from the amortized cost basis of loans.

 A loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans include those characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific allowance for credit losses is not warranted. Loans that do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are designated as special mention by our management. Loans that are performing as agreed are classified as pass.

 The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate pass rating and the classified ratings of special mention, substandard and doubtful within the Company's internal risk rating system as of December 31, 2024 (in thousands); as well as gross charge-offs (in thousands) for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 The Company may grant a concession or modification for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial condition that it would not otherwise consider resulting in a modified loan. The Company may modify loans through rate reductions, extensions of maturity, interest only payments, or payment modifications to better match the timing of cash flows due under the modified terms with the cash flows from the borrowers' operations. Loan modifications are intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral.
 The Company identifies loans for potential modification primarily through direct communication with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower's financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports. Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future.
 No loans were modified during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

 The Company closely monitors the performance of modified loans to understand the effectiveness of its modification efforts. Upon the determination that all or a portion of a modified loan is uncollectible, that amount is charged against the allowance for credit losses.

 At December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no other real estate owned. There was no real estate in process of foreclosure as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 Depreciation and amortization expense charged to operations amounted to approximately $ 224,000 and $ 225,000 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 5. Leases
 Lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments and are presented at each reporting date as the net present value of the remaining contractual cash flows. Cash flows are discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and are calculated as the sum of the lease liability and if applicable prepaid rent, initial direct costs and any incentives received from the lessor.

 Lease agreements are classified as operating leases. Certain of these leases offer the option to extend the lease term and the Company has included such extensions in its calculation of the lease liabilities to the extent the options are reasonably assured of being exercised. The lease agreements do not provide for residual value guarantees and have no restrictions or covenants that would impact dividends or require incurring additional financial obligations.

 The following tables present information about the Company's leases as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands):

The Company also has the ability to borrow up to $ 1,876,000 through the Federal Reserve Bank's discount window. Funds obtained through the discount window are secured by the Company's U.S. Government and agency obligations. There were no borrowings outstanding through the discount window at December 31, 2024 and 2023. Borrowings maturing in less than a year are considered short term and borrowings maturing in greater than a year are considered long term.

Interest on the line of credit is charged at the FHLB's overnight rate which was 4.71 % and 5.68 % at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under this line of credit at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
 Maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB was approximately $ 179,542,000 and $ 178,468,000 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, secured by qualifying loans, of which $ 42,460,000 and $ 55,104,000 had been advanced at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in addition to letters of credit that decrease the Company's maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB. The Company had three letters of credit with FHLB for $ 7,000,000 at December 31, 2024 and three letters of credit with FHLB for $ 13,850,000 at December 31, 2023 that were pledged to secure public funds.

 In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that, some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Management concluded no valuation allowance was necessary.
 With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2021.

 9. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk
 The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
 The Company had the following off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

 2024

 2023

 Commitments to grant loans

 $

 23,958

 12,186

 Standby letters of credit

 6,698

 1,808

 Total off-balance sheet financial instruments

 $

 43,065

 $

 45,475

 Outstanding loan commitments represent the unused portion of loan commitments available to individuals and companies as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based upon management's credit evaluation of the customer. Various types of collateral may be held, including property and marketable securities. The credit risk involved in these financial instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

 10. Contingencies
 In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various lawsuits involving matters generally incidental to its business. Management is of the opinion that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from any pending actions or proceedings will not have a material effect on the consolidated balance sheet or of operations of the Company.

 11. Employee Benefits
 401(k) Retirement Plan
 The Company maintains a 401(k) Retirement Plan for eligible employees. The plan provides a matching contribution for all employees. The matching contribution is an amount equal to 100 % of the participant's elective contribution not to exceed 3 % of the participant's plan salary, plus 50 % of the participant's contribution that exceeds 3 % of their plan salary but not to exceed 5 % of their plan salary. With the freezing of the Pension Plan, the Company initiated a 2 % discretionary contribution to the 401(k) for employees beginning January 1, 2019. The Company's related expense associated with the matching contribution and discretionary contribution was $ 175,000 and $ 168,000 in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 Deferred Compensation Agreement

 The Company has an executive deferred compensation plan, whereby each executive officer may voluntarily participate and elect each year to defer a portion or all of their compensation and bonus. The deferrals, along with accumulated earnings, are payable at retirement. The Company accrues the estimated annual cost of the deferred amounts that will be

 payable at retirement. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the accumulated liability was approximately $ 953,000 and $ 482,000, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

 The Company maintains a supplemental executive retirement plan for certain executives. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the accumulated liability was $ 863,000 and $ 620,000, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The expense for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, was $ 282,000 and $ 236,000, respectively.

 Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

 During 2021, the ESOP borrowed from the Company to purchase 222,180 shares of stock at an average price of $ 13.04 per share. When loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to participants based on relative compensation and expense is recorded. The Company's related expense for the ESOP was $ 170,000 and $ 140,000 in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 12. Stock-Based Compensation

 The Company's stockholders approved the PB Bankshares, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Equity Incentive Plan") at the Annual Meeting on September 28, 2022. An aggregate of 388,815 shares of authorized but unissued common stock of the Company was reserved for future grants of incentive and nonqualified stock options and restricted stock awards and restricted stock units under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. Of the 388,815 authorized shares, the maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to the exercise of stock options is 277,725 shares, and the maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued as restricted stock awards or restricted stock units is 111,090 shares.

 The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company's common stock determine the fair value of restricted stock under the Company's 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. Management recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted stock on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were - 0 - and 13,628 shares available for future awards under this plan, respectively. The shares available for future award included - 0 - and 10,653 shares available for incentive and non-qualified stock options as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and - 0 - and 2,975 shares available for restricted stock awards as of those same dates, respectively. When granted, the stock options and restricted shares vest over a five-year period.

 Stock option expense was $ 282,000 and $ 276,000 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At December 31, 2024, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was $ 887,000.

 A summary of the Company's stock option activity and related information for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

 During the second quarter of 2024, we granted 11,653 shares of stock options at an exercise price of $ 12.20 that become
 exercisable ratably over five years ( 20.0 % per year). The fair value of stock options granted is estimated at the date of
 grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions,
 changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate. Additionally, there may be other factors that might otherwise have a significant effect on the value of stock options granted that are not considered by the model. The assumptions used to value options granted in 2024 are as follows: 31.76 % volatility, 7.5 years of expected life, 0.0 % dividend yield and a risk-free rate of 4.66 %.
 Restricted stock expense was $ 271,000 and $ 265,000 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At December 31, 2024, the expected future compensation expense relating to non-vested stock outstanding was $ 833,000.

 13. Regulatory Matters
 Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The net unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital. Management believes as of December 31, 2024, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.
 Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications; well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At year-end 2024 and 2023, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since those notifications that management believes have changed the Bank's category.
 The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will face limitations on dividends, stock repurchases and certain discretionary bonus payments to management based on the amount of the shortfall. Under Basel III rules, banks must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The required capital conservation buffer is 2.50 %.

 On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326. Regulatory capital rules permitted the Bank to phase-in the day-one effects of adopting ASC 326 over a three-year transition period. The Bank elected to take the phase-in for the amount of $ 140,000.

 The following tables present actual and required capital ratios as of December 31, 2024 under the Basel III Capital Rules. Bank capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations.

 The community bank leverage ratio was established at 9% Tier 1 capital to total average assets, effective January 1, 2020. A qualifying institution may opt in and out of the community bank leverage ratio framework on its quarterly call report. An institution that temporarily ceases to meet any qualifying criteria is provided with a two quarter grace period to again achieve compliance. Failure to meet the qualifying criteria within the grace period or maintain a leverage ratio of 8% or greater requires the institution to comply with the generally applicable capital requirements. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Bank did not elect to follow the community bank leverage ratio framework ("CBLR" framework).

 15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 The Company groups its assets and liabilities generally measured 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.
 Level 1 - Valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
 Level 2 - Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
 Level 3 - Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
 Fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is determined at a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.
 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 a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year ends, and have not been reevaluated 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 than the amounts reported at each year end.
 An asset's or liability's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for its financial assets and liabilities:
 Debt and Equity Securities (Carried at Fair Value)
 The fair value of debt and equity securities (carried at fair value) 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 and equity securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific debt and equity securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.
 Individually Evaluated Collateral Dependent Loans (Generally Carried at Fair Value)
 The estimated fair value of individually evaluated collateral dependent loans is based on the value of the underlying collateral or the value of the underlying collateral, less estimated cost to sell, as appropriate. Collateral is generally real estate; however, collateral may include vehicles, equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, and/or other assets. The value of real estate collateral is generally determined using a market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser. The value of other assets may also be based on an appraisal, market quotations, aging schedules or other sources. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as a provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. At December 31, 2024, the fair value consisted of the recorded investment in the collateral dependent loans of $ 396,000, which was net of a valuation allowance of $ 92,000. At December 31, 2023, there were no individually evaluated collateral dependent loans with a specific reserve.

 16. Noninterest Revenues
 Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and investments. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as gains on equity investments, income associated with bank owned life insurance, and loan fees are also not in scope of the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as service charges on deposit accounts and gains on sale of other real estate owned. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of Topic 606. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.
 Service Charges on Deposit Accounts
 Service charges on deposit accounts consist of fees on depository accounts including NSF fees, miscellaneous deposit-based service fees, monthly maintenance fees for consumer and commercial, and account analysis and related fees (commercial).
 Service charges and fees charged daily are a result of an event or service being provided on the day with the Company recognizing the revenue on the same day. The Company has determined that all performance obligations for daily service charges and fees are met on the same day as the transaction and, therefore, should be recognized as these occur.
 Monthly maintenance/service charges and fees are charged on the last day of the month (i.e. the same month as charges are incurred) after the system has completed its processing. The Company has determined that all performance obligations for monthly fees are typically met during the month or the same day as the customer has not met its obligation. As monthly fees are typically incurred by the customer throughout the month, the fees should be recognized upon completion of the month since the performance obligations have been met for those services.
 Account analysis service charges and fees are recorded on a monthly basis on the last day of the month. The Company has determined that all performance obligations for account analysis fees are met during the month.

 Debit Card Income
 Debit card income consists of interchange fees from consumer debit card networks and other card related services. Interchange rates are set by the card networks. Interchange fees are based on purchase volumes and other factors and are recognized as transactions occur.
 Gains and Losses on Sale of Other Real Estate Owned
 The sale of other real estate owned is currently recognized on the closing date of sale when all performance obligations have been met, and control of the asset has been transferred to the buyer. Any gains or losses are included in noninterest expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
 For the Company, there are no other material revenue streams within the scope of Topic 606. The following tables present noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in thousands:

 Contract Balances
 A contract assets balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity's obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company's noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transaction activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.
 Contract Acquisition Costs
 In connection with the adoption of Topic 606, an entity is required to capitalize, and subsequently amortize as an expense, certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if these costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained (for example, sales commission). The Company utilizes the practical expedient which allows entities to immediately expense contract acquisition costs when the assets that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less.

 These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 We have served as the Company's auditor since 2020.

 Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
 None.
 Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
 Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act")) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations are operating in an effective manner.

 Management's report on internal control over financial reporting. The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company's internal control system is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management, Board of Directors and stockholders regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

 All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 As part of the Company's program to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 (the "Assessment"). In making this Assessment, management used the control criteria framework of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations ("COSO") of the Treadway Commission published in its report entitled Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Management's Assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of its Assessment with the Audit Committee.
 Based on this Assessment, management determined that, as of December 31, 2024, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 Internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the

 three months ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
 This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the independent registered public accounting firm because PB Bankshares, Inc. is an emerging growth company.
 Item 9B. Other Information
 During the fourth quarter of 2024, none of our directors or officers adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of Company securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1 (c) or any " non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as that term is used in SEC regulations.
