Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The condensed consolidated financial statements of SR Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on an accrual basis and include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Somerset Regal Bank (the “Bank”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Somerset Investment Co. (the “Investment Co.”), RB Properties, LLC and Somerset Consumer Service Corp. (“SCS”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated from the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Investment Co. is a special purpose entity subject to the investment company provisions of the New Jersey Corporation Business Tax Act whose activities are limited to holding investment securities and recognizing income and other gains/losses thereon. RB Properties, LLC was formed to own and manage real estate property acquired through foreclosure or in lieu of foreclosure in connection with loans. RB Properties, LLC is currently inactive. SCS has had limited activity.

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2024, the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, are unaudited. The Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2024, was derived from the audited Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of that date.

On July 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326: Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC Topic 326”), which replaces the Company’s Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALLL”) policy under the incurred loss model, and adoption of ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”) and Vintage Disclosures, which replaces the Company’s TDR accounting model policy, which are both discussed below in Recently Adopted Accounting Standards. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures which are generally routine and recurring in nature and necessary for a fair statement of interim results have been made. In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change are: the determination of the fair value of acquired loans; the allowance for credit losses for loans and investment securities; the evaluation of goodwill for impairment; and income taxes. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the period they are deemed necessary. While management uses its best judgment, actual results could differ from those estimates.

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with instructions for the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and industry practice have been condensed or omitted from interim reporting pursuant to SEC rules. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year or for any other period. The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were available to be issued. Interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Conversion, Stock Offering and Merger

The conversion of Somerset Savings Bank, SLA from the mutual to stock form of organization and related stock offering by the Company, the holding company for Somerset Savings Bank, SLA, was completed on September 19, 2023. The Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “SRBK” on September 20, 2023.

The Company sold 9,055,172 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, which included 760,634 shares sold to Somerset Regal Bank’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Additionally, the Company contributed 452,758 shares and $905,517 in cash to the Somerset Regal Charitable Foundation, Inc., a charitable foundation formed in connection with the conversion. Upon the completion of the conversion and offering, 9,441,642 shares of Company common stock were outstanding.

Promptly following the completion of the conversion and related stock offering, Regal Bancorp, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Regal Bancorp”), merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). Immediately following the Merger, Regal Bank, a New Jersey chartered commercial bank headquartered in Livingston, New Jersey and the wholly-owned subsidiary of Regal Bancorp, merged with and into Somerset Bank, which had converted into a commercial bank charter, and was renamed Somerset Regal Bank (the “Bank”). In connection with the Merger, each outstanding share of Regal Bancorp common stock converted into the right to receive $23.00 in cash. The Merger was completed on September 19, 2023. The accounts and operations of Regal Bancorp and Regal Bank are included in these consolidated financial statements since the Merger on September 19, 2023.

Business

SR Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation, is the holding company for Somerset Regal Bank. The Bank, which was formed in 1887, serves Essex, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Morris, Somerset and Union counties in New Jersey. The Bank is a New Jersey chartered commercial bank subject to the laws and regulations of federal and state agencies. As a locally managed commercial bank, the Bank provides customary retail and commercial banking services to individuals, businesses and local municipalities through its 14 full-service branch locations.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company's lending activity is concentrated in loans secured by real estate located primarily in the State of New Jersey. Credit risk exposure in this area of lending is mitigated by adhering to conservative underwriting practices and policies, and close monitoring of the loan portfolio. The Company does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.

Notes 4 discusses the types of investment securities in which the Company invests. Credit risk as it relates to investment activities is mitigated through the monitoring of ratings. The Company's portfolio consists principally of highly rated government-sponsored agency securities.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC 326 Leases (Topic 842), which requires organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current U.S. GAAP, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by the lessee will primarily depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike previous U.S. GAAP, which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. ASC 326 will also require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new disclosures will include both qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. ASC 326 and all subsequent amendments (collectively, “ASC 842”) required adoption by the Company on July 1, 2022, though early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted ASC 842 during the first quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, at which time the Company maintained only one equipment lease

with an initial term greater than 12 months and had determined that the impact on its consolidated financial statements was not material. Upon completion of the Merger, the Company acquired 10 operating leases for office space. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not entered into any material leases that have not yet commenced.

The Company adopted ASC 326 on July 1, 2023. The transition to the new ASU resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for credit losses of $47,000, an increase in deferred tax assets of $13,000, and a decrease in retained earnings of $34,000 as of the adoption date. The impact of the reserve for unfunded liabilities to the consolidated financial statements was not material. The Company did not record an allowance for held-to-maturity securities on July 1, 2023 as the investment portfolio consisted almost entirely of highly rated government-sponsored agency securities, for which credit risk was deemed negligible. The impact of this ASU could change in the future depending on the composition, characteristics, and credit quality of the securities portfolio as well as the economic conditions at future reporting periods.

The following table below presents the impact of ASC 326 on the consolidated balance sheet:

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. This standard eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors and enhances disclosure requirements for certain loan restructurings when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. For public business entities, these amendments require that an entity disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Gross charge-off information must be included in the vintage disclosures required for public business entities in accordance with paragraph 326-20-50-6, which requires that an entity disclose the amortized cost basis of financing receivables by credit quality indicator and class of financing receivable by year of origination. ASU No. 2022-02 was effective for the Company on July 1, 2023.

ASU No. 2023-02, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures. The FASB issued ASU 2023-02 using the Proportional Amortization Method. The amendments in this update permit exporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. A reporting entity may make an accounting policy election to apply the proportional amortization method on a tax-credit-program-by-tax-credit-program basis rather than electing to apply the proportional amortization method at the reporting entity level or to individual investments. The amendments in this update also remove certain guidance for Qualified Affordable Housing Project investments and require the application of the delayed equity contribution guidance to all tax equity investments. The amendments in this update

were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, must be applied on either a modified retrospective or a retrospective basis. Historically and currently, we have no investments covered by this standard and therefore it had no impact on our financial statements.

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures". The amendments in this ASU require improved reportable segment information on an annual and interim basis, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This update will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". The amendments in this ASU require improved annual income tax disclosures surrounding rate reconciliation, income taxes paid, and other disclosures. This update will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2024-01 "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards" ("ASU 2024-0 l") clarifies how an entity determines whether a profits interest or similar award is within the scope of Topic 718 or is not a share-based payment arrangement and therefore within the scope of other guidance. ASU 2024-01 provides an illustrative example with multiple fact patterns and also amends certain language in the "Scope" and "Scope Exceptions" sections of Topic 718 to improve its clarity and operability without changing the guidance. Entities can apply the amendments either retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or prospectively to profits interest and similar awards granted or modified on or after the date of adoption. If prospective application is elected, an entity must disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle. ASU 2024-01 is effective January 1, 2025, including interim periods, and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2024-02 "Codification Improvements" ("ASU 2024-02") amends the Codification to remove references to various concepts statements and impacts a variety of topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance, but in most instances the references removed are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. Generally, the amendments in ASU 2024-02 are not intended to result in significant accounting changes for most entities. ASU 2024-02 is effective January 1, 2025, and effective for the Company on July 1, 2025, and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through November 14, 2024, the date consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
