Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements (“the financial statements”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and conform to practices within the banking industry. The accounting policies followed in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary, in the opinion of management, for fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Nature of Operations

NSTS Bancorp, Inc. (“NSTS” or the “Company”, “we” or “our”) was formed to serve as the stock holding company for North Shore Trust and Savings (the “Bank”) in connection with the conversion of North Shore Trust and Savings, NSTS Financial Corporation and North Shore MHC, into the stock form of organization, which was completed on January 18, 2022. Accordingly, certain financial statements and other financial information at or prior to January 18, 2022, contained in this Form 10-Q relate solely to the consolidated financial results of North Shore MHC and its consolidated subsidiaries, NSTS Financial Corporation and North Shore Trust and Savings.

NSTS Bancorp, Inc. completed its stock offering on January 18, 2022. The Company sold 5,290,000 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share in its subscription offering for gross proceeds of approximately $53.0 million. In connection with the subscription offering, NSTS Bancorp, Inc. also issued 107,959 shares of common stock and $150,000 in cash to NSTS Charitable Foundation. Shares of NSTS Bancorp, Inc. stock began trading on January 19, 2022 on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol "NSTS."

The Bank operates primarily in the northern suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. The Bank offers a variety of financial services to customers in the surrounding community. Financial services consist primarily of 1-4 family mortgage loans, savings accounts, and certificate of deposit accounts. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer. The Bank’s exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy in the Bank’s market area.

Employee Retention Credit

Under the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) signed into law on March 27, 2020 and the subsequent extension of the CARES Act, the Company was eligible for a refundable employee retention credit subject to certain criteria. The Bank qualifies for the tax credit for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 under the CARES Act. The Bank utilized the gross receipts method of calculating eligibility. Based on the eligibility, the tax credit is equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, and the limit on qualified wages per employee is $10,000 of qualified wages per quarter.

The Employee Retention Credit was recorded during the second quarter of 2022, when the Bank determined they were eligible. The credit is recorded as other non-interest income and offsets $503,000 of salaries and employee benefits previously recorded as an expense during 2021. As of June 30, 2022 cannot reasonably estimate when it will receive the refunds. The receivable is recorded in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The CARES Act and related Employee Retention Credit was terminated as of September 30, 2021, and therefore the Company does not expect to file for any additional refunds.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the North Shore MHC’s Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Management is required 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may vary from those estimates. Material estimates that could significantly change in the near-term include the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, determination of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and the valuation of investment securities and the related tax effect. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Certain amounts in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of issuance of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. No significant subsequent events have occurred through this date requiring adjustment to the financial statements or disclosures.

With the exception of the following new significant accounting and reporting policies, the Company has not changed its significant accounting and reporting policies from those disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The ESOP shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Bank reports compensation expense equal to the average market price of the shares during the year, and the shares become outstanding for basic net income per common share computations. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares reduce the ESOP’s debt and accrued interest.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Unallocated ESOP shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations. ESOP shares committed to be released are considered to be outstanding for purposes of the earnings per share computation. ESOP shares that have not been legally released, but that relate to employee services rendered during an accounting period (interim or annual) ending before the related debt service payment is made, are considered committed to be released. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance.

Accounting Developments

Accounting for Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU introduces a new credit loss model, the current expected credit loss model (CECL), which requires earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk.

The CECL model utilizes a lifetime “expected credit loss” measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans, held-to-maturity securities, and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. For available for-sale securities where fair value is less than cost, credit-related impairment, if any, will be recognized in an allowance for credit losses and adjusted each period for changes in expected credit risk. This model replaces the multiple existing impairment models, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized.

The CECL model represents a significant change from existing practice and may result in material changes to the Bank’s accounting for financial instruments. The Bank is evaluating the effect ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The impact of the ASU will depend upon the final standard (as amended), the state of the economy, and the nature of the Bank’s portfolios at the date of adoption. For the Bank, the new standard is effective January 2023.

Note 2: Securities

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Maturities may differ from contractual maturities in mortgage-backed securities because the mortgages underlying the securities may be called or repaid without any penalties, therefore, these securities have been included in the below table based on average remaining life.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, certain investment securities were in unrealized loss positions. Some investment securities have declined in value but do not presently represent realized losses. Unrealized losses on investment securities have not been recognized into income because the issuers’ bonds are of high credit quality, the Bank has the intent and ability to hold the securities for the foreseeable future, and the declines in fair value are primarily due to market volatility. The fair values are expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity dates.

First mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying balance sheets. The unpaid principal balance of these loans totaled $14.5 million and $15.8 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with the loans serviced were $248,000 and $270,000 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

In the normal course of business, loans are made to directors and officers of the Bank (related parties). The terms of these loans, including interest rate and collateral, are similar to those prevailing for comparable transactions with other customers and do not involve more than a normal risk of collectability. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, such borrowers were indebted to the Bank in the aggregate amount of $528,000 and $556,000, respectively.

The Bank evaluates collectability based on payment activity and other factors. The Bank uses a graded loan rating system as a means of identifying potential problem loans, as follows:

Pass

Loans in these categories are performing as expected with low to average risk.

Special Mention

Loans in this category are internally designated by management as “watch loans.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are closely monitored by management.

Substandard

Loans in this category are internally designated by management as “substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the paying capacity of the obligors or the current net worth of the collateral pledged. Substandard loans present a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain losses if such weaknesses are not corrected.

Doubtful

Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those designated as “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses may make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Bank formally reviews the ratings on commercial loans. In addition, the Bank performs an independent review of a significant portion of the commercial loan portfolio. Management uses the results of the independent review as part of its annual review process.

Troubled debt restructurings provide for modifications to repayment terms; more specifically, modifications to loan interest rates. Management performs an impairment analysis at the time of restructuring and periodically thereafter. Any reserve required is recorded through a provision to the allowance for loan losses.

There were no new troubled debt restructurings during the three and six months ended months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021. In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed into law. Among other things, the CARES Act suspended the requirements related to accounting for TDRs for certain loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Bank has minimal direct exposure to consumer, commercial, and other small businesses that may be negatively impacted by COVID-19, but management has analyzed and increased the qualitative factors in these and other loan categories for incurred, but not yet identified loan losses attributable to COVID-19. As of June 30, 2022, management did not see significant disruption with existing customers related to COVID-19. However, during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, management did grant customer requests to defer payments on 50 loans with unpaid balances of $9.7 million. As of June 30, 2022, all COVID-19 loan modifications have returned to repayment. Management has also assisted small businesses that could benefit from the CARES Act, particularly in the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). As of June 30, 2022, all PPP loans have been forgiven by the SBA.

In the normal course of business, deposit accounts are held by directors and executive officers of the Bank (related parties). The terms for these accounts, including interest rates, fees, and other attributes, are similar to those prevailing for comparable transactions with other customers and do not involve more than the normal level of risk associated with deposit accounts. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total deposits held by directors and officers of the Bank were $760,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.

Note 6: Other Borrowings

On May 12, 2022, the Bank repaid the existing FHLB advance totaling $5.0 million with a 0% interest rate that was due on May 21, 2022. Additionally, on May 21, 2021, the Bank repaid the existing non-interest bearing FHLB advance totaling $4.0 million that was due on May 24, 2021. The Bank is eligible to borrow up to a total of $61.8 million and $60.8 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which is collateralized by $78.0 million and $76.8 million of first mortgage loans under a blanket lien arrangement at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Note 7: Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as 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 assets or liabilities

Level 3 | Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

An asset’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Available-for-Sale Securities (Recurring)

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities such as U.S. Treasuries, would be classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or independent asset pricing services and pricing models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections and cash flows. Such securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities would be classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Impaired Loans (Nonrecurring)

Impaired loans are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value of loans is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. Impaired loans that are valued based on the present value of future cash flows are not considered in the fair value hierarchy.

The Bank may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the valuation techniques used to measure nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, were as follows:

Note 8: Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are classified within the fair value hierarchy using the methodologies described in Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements. The following disclosures include financial instruments that are not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Certain financial instruments generally expose the Company to limited credit risk and have no stated maturities or have short-term maturities and carry interest rates that approximate market. The carrying value of these financial instruments assumes to approximate the fair value of these instruments. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, non-interest bearing deposit accounts, Time deposits with other financial institutions, FHLB stock, escrow deposits, FHLB Advances and accrued interest receivable and payable.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values by fair value hierarchy of certain financial instruments are as follows:

|  | Carrying |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Estimated |

Note 9: Capital Ratios

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, regulatory reporting requirements and regulatory capital standards. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulatory reporting standards to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, common equity Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to average assets, as such individual components and calculations are defined by related standards.

As of June 30, 2022 the most recent notification from the regulators categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification which management believes have changed the Bank’s category. On November 13, 2019, the federal regulators finalized and adopted a regulatory capital rule establishing a new community bank leverage ratio (“CBLR”), which became effective on January 1, 2020. The intent of CBLR is to provide a simple alternative measure of capital adequacy for electing qualifying depository institutions and depository institution holding companies, as directed under the Economic Growth, Relief, and Consumer Protection Act. Under CBLR, if a qualifying depository institution or depository institution holding company elects to use such measure, such institution or holding company will be considered well capitalized if its ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets (i.e., leverage ratio) exceeds 9% subject to a limited two quarter grace period, during which the leverage ratio cannot go 100 basis points below the then applicable threshold, and will not be required to calculate and report risk-based capital ratios. In April 2020, under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), the 9% leverage ratio threshold was temporarily reduced to 8% in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The threshold increased to 8.5% in 2021 and returned to 9% in 2022. The Bank elected to begin using CBLR for the first quarter of 2020. Management believes, as of June 30, 2022, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.

22

Table of Contents

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are presented below:

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Minimum Required to be |
|  | Actual |  |  | Well-Capitalized (1) |
|  | Amount |  |  | Ratio |  |  | Amount |  |  | Ratio |
As of June 30, 2022 |  | (Dollars in thousands) |
Tier 1 capital (to Average Assets) |  | $ | 65,077 |  |  |  | 23.26 | % |  | $ | 25,179 |  |  |  | >9% |
As of December 31,2021 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Tier 1 capital (to Average Assets) |  | $ | 44,262 |  |  |  | 16.11 | % |  | $ | 23,349 |  |  |  | >8.5% |

(1) As defined by regulatory agencies. Failure to exceed the leverage ratio thresholds required under CBLR in the future, subject to any applicable grace period, would require the Bank to return to the risk-based capital ratio thresholds previously utilized under the fully phased-in Basel III Capital Rules to determine capital adequacy.

Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has various commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Bank.

Financial Instruments

The Bank does not engage in the use of interest rate swaps or futures, forwards or option contracts.

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, unused lines of credit and outstanding commitments to originate loans were as follows:

|  | June 30, 2022 |  |  | December 31, 2021 |
|  | (Dollars in thousands) |
Unused line of credit |  | $ | 3,559 |  |  | $ | 4,001 |
Commitments to originate loans |  |  | 914 |  |  |  | 219 |
Total commitments |  | $ | 4,473 |  |  | $ | 4,220 |

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Bank generally originates single-family residential loans within its primary lending area which is Waukegan, Illinois and the surrounding area. The Bank’s underwriting policies require such loans to be made at approximately 80% loan-to-value, based upon appraised values, unless private mortgage insurance is obtained, or the loan is guaranteed by the government. These loans are secured by the underlying properties.

The Bank maintains its cash in deposit accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank or other institutions, the balances of which may exceed federally insured limits. The Bank has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Bank believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

Interest Rate Risk

The Bank assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, fair values of its financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change, and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Bank. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the overall interest rate risk.

Litigation

Due to the nature of its business activities, the Bank is at times subject to legal action which arises in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Bank.

Note 11: Earnings Per Share

Basic EPS represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares (such as stock options) were exercised or converted into additional common shares that should then share in the earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, plus the effect of potential dilutive common share equivalents.

There were no securities or other contracts that had a dilutive effect during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and therefore the weighted-average common shares oustanding used to calculate both basic and diluted EPS are the same. Shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") that have not been allocated to employees in accordance with the terms of the ESOP, referred to as "unallocated ESOP shares", are not deemed outstanding for EPS calculations. EPS data is not applicable for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as the Company had no shares outstanding.

Earnings (loss) per common share basic and diluted |  | $ | 0.03 |  |  | $ | (0.03 | )

All unallocated ESOP shares have been excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted EPS.

Note 12: ESOP

Employees participate in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). The ESOP borrowed funds from the Company to purchase 431,836 shares of stock at $10 per share. The Bank makes discretionary contributions to the ESOP, as well as paying dividends on unallocated shares to the ESOP, and the ESOP uses funds it receives to repay the loan. When loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to participants based on relative compensation. Participants receive the shares at the end of employment. Dividends on allocated shares increase participants accounts.

There were no contributions to the ESOP during the first six months of 2022, as the initial annual loan payment will be made during the fourth quarter. Expense recorded was $54,000 and $103,000 during the three and six months ended months ended June 30, 2022, and is recognized over the service period.

Shares held by the ESOP were as follows:

|  | As of June 30, 2022 |

(“the Company”) became the holding company for North Shore Trust and Savings (“the Bank”) when North Shore MHC completed its conversion into the stock holding company form of organization. In connection with the conversion, the Company sold 5,290,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10 per share, for gross proceeds of $52.9 million. The Company also contributed 107,959 shares of common stock and $150,000 in cash to North Shore Trust and Savings Charitable Foundation, Inc. Shares of the Company's common stock began trading on January 19, 2022 on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “NSTS.”

NSTS Bancorp, Inc.

NSTS Bancorp, Inc. is a Delaware corporation which was incorporated in September 2021. As a savings and loan holding company, NSTS Bancorp, Inc. is regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve Board”). The Company’s primary business activities relate to owning all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Bank.

The unaudited financial statements and other financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with North Shore MHC's Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

North Shore Trust and Savings

North Shore Trust and Savings, a federally-chartered stock savings institution, was established in 1921 as North Shore Building and Loan, an Illinois-chartered institution. Since its inception, the Bank has operated as a traditional savings institution focused primarily on serving the banking needs of customers in our market area of Lake County, Illinois and adjacent communities. We operate from our headquarters and main banking office in Waukegan, Illinois, as well as two additional full-service branch offices located in Waukegan and Lindenhurst, Illinois, respectively. We have a loan production office in Chicago, Illinois. Our primary business activity is attracting deposits from the general public and using those funds to originate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and purchase investments. We are subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”).

Our Business and Franchise

For 100 years, we have served Lake County, Illinois and the surrounding communities. We have established deep ties to the community and developed customer relationships which have spanned generations. We pride ourselves in matching our products and services to the needs of the community.

Our principal business consists of originating loans for one- to four-family residential properties, multi-family and non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, and to a lesser extent home equity loans and lines of credit, construction loans, and other consumer loans in the market areas surrounding our branch footprint. We also established a loan production office in the Roscoe Village neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois in 2016 to originate loans outside of our branch network in a more densely populated metropolitan area, which we believe benefits us geographically. We attract retail deposits from the general public in the areas surrounding our main office and branches, offering a wide variety of deposit products. We also invest in investment securities. Our revenues are derived primarily from interest on loans, noninterest income from the sale of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans in the secondary market and interest on investments. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, and principal and interest payments on loans and securities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements for the three and six months ended months ended June 30, 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as compared to the critical accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

COVID-19

In light of the recent events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we are continually assessing the effects of the pandemic on our employees, customers and communities. In March 2020, the CARES Act was enacted. The CARES Act contains many provisions related to banking, lending, mortgage forbearance and taxation. We worked diligently to help support our customers through the PPP, loan modifications and loan deferrals. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, we had funded 40 SBA PPP loans totaling $1.3 million to existing customers and key prospects located primarily in our markets. As of June 30, 2022, all PPP loans were forgiven by the SBA. In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we granted loan modifications under the CARES Act generally in the form of three-month deferrals of principal payments and a three-month extension of the maturity date. We handle loan modification requests on a case-by-case basis considering the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic slowdown on our customers and their current and projected cash flows through the terms of their respective loans. We believe the customer interaction during this time provided us with an opportunity to broaden and deepen our customer relationships while benefiting the local communities we serve. In total we modified 50 loans with principal balances totaling $9.7 million. As of June 30, 2022, all COVID-19 loan modifications have returned to repayment status.

Under the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) signed into law on March 27, 2020 and the subsequent extension of the CARES Act, the Bank was eligible for a refundable employee retention credit subject to certain criteria. The Bank qualified for the tax credit for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 under the CARES Act. The Bank utilized the gross receipts method of calculating eligibility. Based on the eligibility, the tax credit is equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees during a quarter, and the limit on qualified wages per employee is $10,000 of qualified wages per quarter.

The Employee Retention Credit was recorded during the second quarter of 2022, when the Bank determined they were eligible. The credit is recorded as other non-interest income and offsets $503,000 of salaries and employee benefits previously recorded as an expense during 2021. As of June 30, 2022 cannot reasonably estimate when it will receive the refunds. The CARES Act and related Employee Retention Credit was terminated as of September 30, 2021, and therefore the Company does not expect to file for any additional refunds.

Overview

This discussion is intended to focus on certain financial information regarding our consolidated company and may not contain all the information that is important to the reader. The purpose of this discussion is to provide the reader with a more thorough understanding of our financial statements. As such, this discussion should be read carefully and in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained elsewhere in this report.

Our results of operations depend, to a large extent, on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on our loan and investment portfolios and interest expense on deposits and borrowings. Our net interest income is largely determined by our net interest spread, which is the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Results of operations are also affected by our provisions for loan losses, fee income and other noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest expense principally consists of compensation, office occupancy and equipment expense, data processing, advertising and business promotion and other expenses. We expect that our noninterest expenses will increase as we grow and expand our operations. In addition, our compensation expense will increase due to the new stock benefit plans we intend to implement. Our results of operations and financial condition are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in accounting guidance, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

Average Balances, Net Interest Income, and Yields Earned and Rates Paid. The following table shows for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates, and the net interest margin. All average balances are based on daily balances. The table also reflects the yields on the Company’s interest-earning assets and costs of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods shown.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 AND 2021

General. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had net income of $149,000, compared to net income of $67,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had a net loss of $130,000, representing an increase in the net loss of $116,000, from a net loss of $14,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2021. The changes in net income (loss) are primarily the result of the recognition of the Employee Retention Credit during the second quarter of 2022, offset by a decrease in other noninterest income categories and an increase of noninterest expenses which are expected to reoccur in future periods and are the result of additional expenses related to being a public company.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $1.3 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Net interest income was $2.4 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The average yield on total interest-earning assets increased 9 basis points in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 2021. This increase was driven by an increase of 11 basis points in the average yield on loans, net, to 3.66%, an increase of 40 basis points for the average yield on investments, net, to 1.87%, and an increase in the average yield on interest-bearing deposits in other banks of 58 basis points, to 0.67%. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, two commercial loans totaling $1.8 million paid off in full with interest penalties, resulting in an increase to the average yield on loans, net. Management continues to deploy funds into the investments portfolio, helping to drive the increase in the average yield earned on investments. The average yield on total interest-earning assets decreased 23 basis points in the first six months of 2022 compared to 2021.

During 2021, borrowers continued to take advantage of the lower interest rate environment and refinanced their mortgages, resulting in a decrease of the average yield on loans. The decrease was partially offset by a change in our asset mix, in which management invested available cash in securities available for sale to achieve a higher yield.

The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 10 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from the three months ended June 30, 2021, and decreased 13 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from the six months ended June 30, 2021. The net decrease in our funding costs was primarily driven by a decrease in the average yield of time deposits. During the first quarter of 2022, subsequent to the conversion closing, certain customers withdrew their funds held in time deposits prior to the maturity of these deposits. Upon the withdrawal of these funds, the customers were charged an interest penalty which resulted in a lower overall funding cost during the quarter.

Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings as losses are estimated to have occurred in our loan portfolio. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the collectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of the underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. The evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information or events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, the measurement of such impairment is based upon the fair value of the collateral of the loan. If the fair value of the collateral is less than the recorded investment in the loan, we will recognize the impairment by creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge against earnings.

An allowance is also established for uncollectible interest on loans classified as substandard. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued, and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received. When, in management’s judgment, the borrower’s ability to make interest and principal payments is back to normal, the loan is returned to accrual status.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, a reversal of the provision was recorded for $16,000, compared to a provision expense of $17,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The reversal of the provision in 2022 was primarily the result of a decrease in the loan portfolio balance during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Net recoveries of $6,000 were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net charge-offs of $95,000 during the same period ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2022, there were no recoveries or charge-offs recorded. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, charge-offs of $99,000 and recoveries of $2,000 were recorded, resulting in a net charge-offs of $97,000.

The establishment of the allowance for loan losses is significantly affected by uncertainties and management judgment and there is a likelihood that different amounts would be reported under different conditions or assumptions. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require us to make additional provisions for estimated loan losses based upon judgments different from those of management.

Noninterest income increased $414,000, or 150.5%, to $689,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to $275,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The primary driver of the increase was the recognition of the Employee Retention Credit of $503,000 during the second quarter of 2022. This increase was offset by a reduction in the volume of mortgage loans sold and the resulting gain on the sale of mortgage loans. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we sold $2.1 million in loans compared to $4.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in sale of mortgage loans was partially due to the decision to originate a higher percentage of loans for the portfolio, as well as an overall decrease in total loans originated during the period.

Consistent with the increase in second quarter of 2022, noninterest income increased $279,000, or 46.7%, to $877,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $598,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2021. The increase is due to the recognition of the Employee Retention Credit during the second quarter of 2022, offset by a reduction in the volume of mortgage loans sold and the resulting gain on the sale of mortgage loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we sold $5.8 million in loans compared to $13.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in sale of mortgage loans was partially due to the decision to originate a higher percentage of loans for the portfolio, as well as an overall decrease in total loans originated during the period.

Total noninterest expense |  | $ | 1,832 |  |  | $ | 1,396 |  |  | $ | 3,479 |  |  | $ | 2,913 |

Noninterest expense increased $436,000, or 31.2%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The primary drivers for the increase in noninterest expense are salaries and employee benefits and professional services expenses. Salaries and employee benefits increased $235,000, or 28.6% as a result of an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees during the period to 38 employees as of June 30, 2022 compared to 35 employees as of June 30, 2021, as the Bank continues to invest in hiring high performing individuals and growing the strength of our lending team. Additionally, the Bank entered into an Employee Stock Ownership Plan at the closing of the conversion, which resulted in additional ESOP related expenses of $49,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Professional service fees increased $90,000, or 191.5%, to $137,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $47,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase is the results of additional expenses associated with being a public company and are expected to reoccur in future periods. Other noninterest expense increased $117,000, or 141.0%, to $200,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $83,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to additional expenses associated with the filing for the Employee Retention Credit.

Noninterest expense increased $566,000, or 19.4%, to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The primary drivers for the increase in noninterest expense are salaries and employee benefits and professional services expenses. Salaries and employee benefits increased $318,000, or 18.8% as a result of an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees during the periods. Additionally, the Bank entered into an Employee Stock Ownership Plan at the closing of the conversion, which resulted in additional ESOP related expenses of $103,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Professional service fees increased $158,000, or 141.1%, to $270,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $112,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase is the result of additional expenses associated with being a public company and are expected to reoccur in future periods. Other noninterest expense increased $137,000, or 83.0%, to $302,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $165,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to additional expenses associated with the filing for the Employee Retention Credit.

Provision for Income Tax Expense (Benefit). During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized income tax expense of $40,000, compared to an income tax benefit of $193,000 during the same period ended June 30, 2021. The increase in expense is primarily due to the recognition of the Employee Retention Credit income during the second quarter of 2022. Income tax benefit decreased $201,000, or 84.8%, to $36,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $237,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to the recognition of the Employee Retention Credit income during 2022.

Total Assets. Total assets decreased $66.6 million, or 19.5%, to $274.2 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $340.9 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily the result of refunds issued due to the oversubscription of stock purchases related to the stock offering.

Cash and cash equivalents. The funds received as part of the conversion were primarily held in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2021, and excess funds were disbursed during the first quarter of 2022. The result of the disbursement resulted in a decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the period. Additionally, management began to deploy the remaining funds from the stock offering primarily in securities available for sale, resulting in a further decrease to the balance of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021. The Bank continues to maintain levels of liquid assets deemed adequate by management.

Securities available for sale. Securities available for sale increased $20.3 million, or 20.1%, to $121.2 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $101.0 million at December 31, 2021. This increase was the result of management’s efforts to reduce the cash and cash equivalents balance by investing in higher yielding assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Bank purchased $42.1 million in securities available for sale, which was partially offset by principal repayments and maturities of $10.4 million, an increase in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities of $10.9 million and amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts of $594,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Bank purchased U.S. Treasury Notes of $7.4 million, resulting in a slight adjustment to the mix of the securities available-for-sale as well as reducing the duration of the portfolio while maintaining a higher yielding portfolio.

Loans, net. Our loans, net, decreased by $1.2 million, or 1.2%, to $95.4 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $96.5 million at December 31, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Bank originated $8.2 million in loans held for investment. These originations were offset by loan repayments and maturities of $9.3 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 two large commercial loans paid off early, resulting in a decrease of the commercial loan balance of $1.8 million. At June 30, 2022, the allowance for loan losses was $769,000, a decrease of $10,000, or 1.3% compared to $779,000 at December 31, 2021. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses was a result of a decrease in the overall loan portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the non-accrual balance decreased to $40,000, compared to $102,000 at December 31, 2021. One loan on non-accrual as of December 31, 2021 paid off during the second quarter of 2022. Additionally, one loan that moved to non-accrual during the first quarter of 2022 paid off during the second quarter of 2022. Our non-performing loans to total loans increased to 0.17% at June 30, 2022 compared to 0.15% at December 31, 2021.

Deposits. The decrease in total deposits of $99.3 million, or 34.8%, was primarily the result of refunds issued due to the oversubscription of stock purchases related to the stock offering and a dividend made to the Bank in the amount of half the net proceeds received as part of the conversion to a public company. As of December 31, 2021, prior to the conversion, the Company held a deposit account at the Bank of approximately $87.3 million. Subsequent to the conversion, the balance of the deposit account held at the Bank is eliminated during consolidation. Additionally, prior to September 30, 2021, the Bank received an increase in funds within the deposit accounts as individuals opened accounts to receive priority in purchasing stock as part of the offering. Subsequent to the conversion, approximately $10.0 million in funds remaining in those accounts were withdrawn by depositors. Majority of these funds were held in short-term time deposits and were subject to interest penalties upon withdrawal.

Other borrowings. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Bank repaid the 0% interest FHLB Advance of $5.0 million, resulting in no other borrowings as of June 30, 2022.

Total equity. Total equity increased $38.3 million, or 84.7%, to $83.5 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $45.2 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in total equity is the result of the net proceeds of the stock offering, less unallocated shares of the ESOP, offset by the increase in the unrealized loss on securities available for sale.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank maintains levels of liquid assets deemed adequate by management. We adjust our liquidity levels to fund deposit outflows, repay our borrowings, and to fund loan commitments. We also adjust liquidity, as appropriate, to meet asset and liability management objectives.

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 maturities of securities. We also have the ability to borrow from the FHLB of Chicago. At June 30, 2022, we had no outstanding in advances from the FHLB of Chicago and had the capacity to borrow approximately $61.8 million from the FHLB of Chicago.

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 short-term investments. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily of net change in loans receivable and net change in investment securities, was $31.3 million and $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, with the increase in cash used driven by the increase in securities available for sale purchased. Net cash used in financing activities, consisting primarily of the activity in deposit accounts and proceeds from the issuance of common stock, was $59.2 million and $1.0 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

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. Time deposits that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from June 30, 2022, totaled $34.2 million. Based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be retained. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize FHLB of Chicago advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.

As of June 30, 2022, the Bank was well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Bank elected to begin using the CBLR. Under CBLR, if a qualifying depository institution or depository institution holding company elects to use such measure, such institution or holding company will be considered well capitalized if its ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets (i.e., leverage ratio) exceeds 9% in 2022 and 8.5% in 2021, subject to a limited two quarter grace period, during which the leverage ratio cannot go 100 basis points below the then applicable threshold, and will not be required to calculate and report risk-based capital ratios. North Shore Trust and Savings’ Tier 1 capital to Average Assets was 23.26% and 16.11% at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. At June 30, 2022, we had $914,000 of outstanding commitments to originate loans. Our total letters and lines of credit and unused lines of credit totaled $3.6 million at June 30, 2022.

Commitments. The following table summarizes our outstanding commitments to originate loans and to advance additional amounts pursuant to outstanding letters of credit, lines of credit and undisbursed construction loans at June 30, 2022.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this document have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Changes in Accounting Principles

The following ASU has been issued by the FASB but is not yet effective.

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU introduces a new credit loss model, the current expected credit loss model ("CECL"), which requires earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk.

The CECL model utilizes a lifetime “expected credit loss” measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for loans, held-to-maturity securities, and other receivables at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. For available for-sale securities where fair value is less than cost, credit-related impairment, if any, will be recognized in an allowance for credit losses and adjusted each period for changes in expected credit risk. This model replaces the multiple existing impairment models, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized.

The CECL model represents a significant change from existing practice and may result in material changes to the Bank’s accounting for financial instruments. The Bank is evaluating the effect ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The impact of the ASU will depend upon the state of the economy, and the nature of the Bank’s portfolios at the date of adoption. The new standard is effective January 2023 for emerging growth companies.
