Rhea-AI Filing Summary

ENB Financial Corp filed an amendment to its current report to add required financial information for its acquisition of Cecil Bancorp, Inc., which closed effective February 1, 2026. The amendment supplies Cecil’s audited 2023–2024 statements and unaudited pro forma financials for ENB.

Cecil is a community bank operating in Maryland with $223.5 million in total assets and $190.9 million in deposits as of December 31, 2024. Loans totaled $168.5 million and stockholders’ equity $28.6 million.

Comprehensive income was $112 thousand in 2024.

allowance for credit losses financial
"The allowance for credit losses (“Allowance” or “ACL”) is established through a provision for credit losses charged to earnings."
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
current expected credit losses (CECL) financial
"The Bank utilizes a third-party model to tabulate its estimate of current expected credit losses (“CECL”), using the average charge-off method."
Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) is an accounting standard that requires lenders and companies with loans or receivables to estimate and record the lifetime expected losses up front, rather than waiting until a loss is probable. Investors care because CECL changes reported profits and the amount of reserves a firm must hold — like a household setting aside a larger rainy‑day fund based on forecasted storms — which affects capital, dividend capacity and the perceived financial strength of a company.
Bank Term Funding Program financial
"During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company began participating in the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond’s Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”)."
A bank term funding program is a central bank’s temporary lending facility that gives banks a multi‑week or multi‑month loan using high‑quality assets as collateral, like an emergency line of credit secured by securities. It matters to investors because it helps banks cover short‑term cash needs without selling assets at a loss, reducing the chance of bank runs or failures and stabilizing bank shares, lending conditions, and overall market confidence.
Common Equity Tier 1 capital financial
"Common equity tier 1 capital ratio | | | 22,260 | | | | 12.33 %"
Core capital a bank holds consisting mainly of common shares and retained profits that can absorb losses without forcing the bank to sell assets or seek emergency help; items that can’t reliably cover losses are excluded. Think of it as the bank’s shock-absorbing cushion: a higher common equity tier 1 (CET1) level and ratio means regulators and investors view the bank as better able to survive bad loans or market shocks, so it signals lower risk to shareholders and creditors.
nonaccrual loans financial
"The Company places loans, except for consumer loans, on nonaccrual when any portion of the principal or interest is ninety days past due and collateral is insufficient."
Nonaccrual loans are loans a lender has stopped counting toward interest income because the borrower is overdue or unlikely to pay; the lender only records cash payments received and may set aside extra funds to cover potential losses. For investors, a rising number or amount of nonaccrual loans signals weaker credit quality, lower future interest revenue and larger potential write-downs — similar to pausing expected subscription income when many customers stop paying.
available-for-sale securities financial
"Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading securities are considered available-for-sale and are reported at estimated fair value."
Available-for-sale securities are investments in stocks, bonds or similar instruments that a company does not intend to trade frequently but may sell before they mature. They matter to investors because changes in the market value of these holdings show up as paper gains or losses on the company's balance sheet rather than immediately in profit, so they can affect reported net worth and the timing of income without changing day-to-day earnings. Think of them like items on a household shelf you might sell later: their value moves with the market even if you haven’t cashed out.

Independent Auditor’s Report

 

 

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Cecil Bancorp, Inc.

 

 

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Cecil Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements).

 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or available to be issued.

 

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in aggregate, they would influence the judgement made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

 

 1 | P a g e

 

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we: 

·Exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
·Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
·Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
·Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
·Conclude whether, in our judgement, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

CECIL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accounting and reporting policies of Cecil Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cecil Bank (the “Bank”), together with its subsidiaries, Cecil Financial Services Corporation, Novo Realty, LLC, Route 9 Old New Castle, LLC, and Chesapeake Club Subdivision, LLC conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies:

 

Nature of Operations

 

Through its subsidiary bank, the Company conducts full-service commercial banking primarily in Cecil County, Maryland. Services to individuals and businesses include accepting deposits, and extending real estate, consumer and commercial loans and lines of credit.

 

Policy for Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. Consolidation has resulted in the elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions. The financial statements of the Company (parent only) include its investment in its subsidiary under the equity method of accounting.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the 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 financial statements and 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, other real estate owned valuation, deferred tax valuation allowance, and impairment of investment securities.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Assets categorized in the balance sheet as cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits with banks, and federal funds sold are considered cash and cash equivalents. Interest bearing deposits with banks generally exceed balances that are recoverable under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance.

Investment Securities

 

Debt securities the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and recorded at amortized cost. Debt securities are classified as trading securities if bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near-term. Trading securities are reported at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading securities are considered available-for-sale and are reported at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported, on an after-tax basis, as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company designates debt securities into one of the three categories at the time of purchase.

 

Premiums and discounts on investments are recognized in interest income over the terms of the securities using methods that approximate the interest method. Premiums on callable securities are amortized through the earliest call date. For debt securities classified as available-for-sale, impairment is recognized in its entirety in net income if either (1) we intend to sell the security or (2) 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 Bank does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell the security before recovery, the Bank 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 the 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 Bank regularly reviews unrealized losses in its investment 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 Bank’s intention with regard to holding the security to maturity, and the likelihood that the Bank would be required to sell the security before recovery. The Bank measures expected credit losses on held-to-maturity securities. The adoption of ASC 326 did not affect the carrying value of debt securities or the amount of unrealized gains/losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

 

Restricted Investment Securities

 

Restricted investment securities consist of Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“FRB”), Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), and Community Bankers’ Bank (“CBB”) stock which are required by law or are restricted as to marketability. Because the investment securities are not marketable, they are reported at cost and periodically evaluated for impairment based on the ultimate recovery of par value. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company met all stock ownership requirements set forth by the FRB, FHLB, and CBB.

 

Loans Receivable

 

Loans are stated at their principal balance outstanding net of any deferred fees and costs. Interest income on loans is accrued at the contractual rate based on the principal outstanding. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, as well as purchased loan premiums and discounts, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method. The Company places loans, except for consumer loans, on nonaccrual when any portion of the principal or interest is ninety days past due and

 9 | P a g e

 

collateral is insufficient to discharge the debt in full. Interest accrual may also be discontinued earlier if, in management’s opinion, collection is unlikely. Generally, consumer installment loans are not placed on nonaccrual, but are charged off when they are three months past due.

 

Allowance for Credit Losses

 

During June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). ASC 326, as amended, requires an entity to measure expected credit losses for financial assets carried at amortized cost based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASC 326 also amended the impairment model for available for sale securities and addressed purchased financial assets with deterioration. The Bank adopted ASC 326 as of January 1, 2023 in accordance with the required implementation date and recorded the impact of adoption to retained deficit, net of deferred income taxes, as required by the standard. Subsequent to adoption, the Bank records adjustments to its allowance for credit losses and reserves for unfunded commitments through the provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The allowance for credit losses (“Allowance” or “ACL”) is established through a provision for credit losses charged to earnings. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The Allowance is evaluated on a regular basis, but not less than quarterly, by management and is based upon management’s judgment of the amount necessary to absorb the lifetime expected losses that may be sustained on outstanding loans at the balance sheet date based on the evaluation of the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and prepayment experience.

 

The Bank utilizes a third-party model to tabulate its estimate of current expected credit losses (“CECL”), using the average charge-off method. In accordance with ASC 326, the Bank has segmented its loan portfolio and unfunded commitments based on similar risk characteristics which generally classifies them based on the call report codes. Due to the significant balance of purchased loans, the Bank has further segmented its commercial business and consumer loans based on the seller/servicer of these purchased portfolios. The Bank primarily utilizes the historical loss rate for similarly sized institutions in the State of Maryland, beginning in March 2000, for its quantitative component of CECL. To further adjust the allowance for credit losses for expected losses not already included within the quantitative component of the calculation, the Bank may consider the following qualitative adjustment factors: national, regional, and local economic conditions; changes in collateral values; existence of concentrations of credit; changes in the volume and severity of past due and nonaccrual loans; changes in the nature and volume of loans; the quality of the Bank’s loan review process; and changes in the experience and depth of lending staff.

 

Loans and unfunded commitments that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. The individually evaluated loans and unfunded commitments are those that are classified as either doubtful or substandard, or are otherwise considered impaired. For these instruments, the Allowance is established when the collateral value or observable market price, adjusted for estimated costs to sell, is lower than the carrying value.

 

The adoption of ASC 326 did not result in a significant change to any other credit risk management and monitoring processes, including identification of past due borrowers, nonaccrual practices, or the Bank’s charge-off policies.

Premises and Equipment

 

Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Premises and equipment, including costs related to developing or obtaining software for internal use, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, which range from three to seven years for furniture, fixtures and equipment to thirty-nine years for buildings and building improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful economic lives or the lives of the leases. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while improvements which extend the useful life are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life. Interest costs on the original purchase, significant repairs, and construction expenditures relating to Bank premises are capitalized at the Bank’s average cost of funds and depreciated over the life of the building.

 

Other Real Estate Owned

 

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) comprises properties acquired in partial or total satisfaction of problem loans. The properties are recorded at fair value at the date acquired, less estimated costs of disposal, which establishes a new cost basis. Losses arising at the time of acquisition of such properties are charged against the ACL. Subsequent write-downs that may be required are expensed when incurred and included in noninterest expense. Gains and losses realized from sales and expenses of operation are included in noninterest expense.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and investment securities. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue such as deposit related fees and debit card fees. Substantially all of the Company’s noninterest revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest income included within the scope of Topic 606 is discussed below.

 

Deposit account fees consist of monthly service fees, insufficient funds fees, check orders, and other deposit related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Insufficient funds fees, check orders, and other deposit related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for deposit account fees is primarily received immediately or at the end of the month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

 

ATM fees are generated from the Company’s cardholders using other banks’ ATMs, the use of the Company’s ATMs by non-bank cardholders, and interchange fees earned from usage of the Company’s debit cards in payment networks such as MasterCard. Other noninterest income consists primarily of safe deposit box fees, wire transfer fees, and official check fees. The Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized when the services are received. Payment of these fees is received immediately in the case of ATM fees, wire transfer fees, and official check fees. With respect to safe deposit box fees, revenue is recognized on the cash basis, which is materially within the duration of the performance obligation.

 

Gains/losses on sales of OREO result from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the Company finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform the obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. In determining the

 11 | P a g e

 

gain/loss on sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and the related gain/loss on sale if a significant financing component is present.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense is based on the results of operations, adjusted for permanent differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for tax purposes. Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured at the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. A valuation allowance reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in other noninterest expense. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions that are deemed material and did not recognize any adjustments for unrecognized tax benefits.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $13 thousand and $24 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) are calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the denominator of the basic earnings per share computation for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effects of options, warrants, and their equivalents are computed using the treasury stock method.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) which includes net income (loss), as well as other changes in stockholders’ equity that result from transactions and economic events other than those with stockholders. The Company’s only significant element of other comprehensive income (loss) is unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

 

Transfers of Financial Assets

 

The Company accounts for transfers and servicing of financial assets in accordance with ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales only 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.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

Compensation cost is recognized for stock options, restricted stock and other stock awards issued to employees, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period.

 

 12 | P a g e

 

Subsequent Events

 

Subsequent events have been evaluated for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date of the Independent Auditor’s Report, which is the date these financial statements were available to be issued. The Company evaluates subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued. There are two types of subsequent events (1) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (2) non-recognized, or those that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date.

 

Loss Contingencies

 

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are now such matters that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Fraud Losses

 

The Bank sustained a one-time customer related fraud loss during June 2024 in the amount of $806 thousand. The Bank subsequently received a $778 thousand insurance claim reimbursement in October 2024. These items are shown separately in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

2. RECENT 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. 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 2023-06 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, investment securities with a carrying value of $14.8 million and $11.4 million, respectively, were pledged to the FRB. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, investment securities with a carrying value of $129 thousand and $0, respectively, were pledged to the FHLB.

 

The contractual maturities of investment securities at December 31, 2024 (in thousands) are shown below. The values shown are carrying values. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

As of December 31, 2024, unrealized losses (in thousands) on securities were comprised of the following based on the length of time that the securities have been in a continuous loss position:

 

   Less than 12 Months   More than 12 Months   Total 
   Fair   Unrealized   Fair   Unrealized   Fair   Unrealized 
   Value   Losses   Value   Losses   Value   Losses 
Available-for-Sale:

Mortgage-backed securities   8,646    88    10,224    2,412    18,870    2,500 
Corporate bonds           1,138    37    1,138    37 
   $9,119   $98   $11,491   $2,461   $20,610   $2,559 

 

As of December 31, 2023, unrealized losses (in thousands) on securities were comprised of the following based on the length of time that the securities have been in a continuous loss position:

 

   Less than 12 Months   More than 12 Months   Total 
   Fair   Unrealized   Fair   Unrealized   Fair   Unrealized 
   Value   Losses   Value   Losses   Value   Losses 
Available-for-Sale:                        
SBA securitized loan pools  $   $   $147   $14   $147   $14 
Mortgage-backed securities   1,496    1    11,204    2,395    12,700    2,396 
Corporate bonds           1,099    76    1,099    76 
   $1,496   $1   $12,450   $2,485   $13,946   $2,486 

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale in the tables above and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The decline in the fair market value of the Company’s residential mortgage-backed securities and the resultant unrealized loss at December 31, 2024 and 2023 is the result of an increase in the market rates of interest. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to credit quality. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, management believes the impairments detailed in the tables above are temporary and no allowance for credit losses has been recorded.

 

As of December 31, 2024, there were two Small Business Administration (“SBA”) securitized loan pools, thirty-nine mortgage-backed securities, and three corporate bonds in an unrealized loss position. As of December 31, 2023, there was one SBA securitized loan pool, twenty-five mortgage-backed securities, and three corporate bonds in an unrealized loss position.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not sell any investment securities.

 

4.  LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN CREDIT LOSSES

 

The Company has segregated its loan portfolio into six segments, including consumer, commercial business, commercial real estate, construction and land development, 1-4 family residential and home equity, and multi-family residential.

 

The Company originates loans in its local market area in Northeastern Maryland in Cecil County and surrounding areas. In addition, to supplement its local lending activities, the Company also purchases consumer and commercial loans and loan participations from other financial institutions and independent finance companies. Purchased loans are generally purchased in pools and are extended to both consumer

 15 | P a g e

 

and commercial borrowers located throughout the United States. The performance of the loan portfolio will be influenced by both regional and national economic conditions.

 

The Company's consumer loans consist of automobile loans, boat loans, deposit account secured loans, and other consumer loans. The loans are generally offered for terms of 5 to 20 years at fixed interest rates. Repossessed collateral for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment as a result of damage, loss, or depreciation. In addition, collections are 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. During the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company purchased $37.1 million and $32.4 million in consumer loans, respectively.

 

The Company offers secured and unsecured commercial business loans and lines of credit. Commercial loans are generally extended on a secured basis, secured by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, vehicles, or other business assets. Lines of credit are generally extended for periods of up to 1 year and may be extended on either a secured or unsecured basis. Commercial term loans secured by equipment or vehicles are generally extended for periods of 3 to 7 years at fixed interest rates but may be extended for longer periods based on the useful life of the collateral. Personal guarantees of the business owners are generally required. Commercial business lending entails significant risk, as the payments on such loans generally depend upon the successful operations and management of the business involved. The Company attempts to limit its risk of loss on such loans by limiting the amount and the term, and by requiring personal guarantees of the business owner(s). During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company purchased $0 and $12.7 million in commercial loans, respectively.

 

The Company primarily originates commercial real estate loans in its local market area. These loans are generally larger and involve greater risks than one-to-four family residential loans. Because payments on these loans are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the property, repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. The Company seeks to minimize these risks in a variety of ways, including requiring substantial down payments from borrowers, with loans generally limited to the lesser of 75-80% of cost or appraised values. Personal guarantees of the property owners are generally required. Commercial real estate loans typically have balloon maturities of 5 to 10 years and are generally extended with fixed rates that adjust after 5 years. Amortization periods may vary based on collateral type but are generally amortized over periods of 20 to 25 years. The Company's commercial real estate loans are typically secured by retail properties, motels/hotels, and industrial or warehouse facilities.

 

Construction and land development lending primarily involves lending for construction of single-family residences, although the Company does extend credit for the construction of commercial properties and multi-family real estate. The majority of loans made for the purpose of constructing residential homes have loan to-value ratios of 80% or less. Loan proceeds are disbursed during the construction phase according to a draw schedule based on the stage of completion. Construction projects are regularly inspected by contracted inspectors or Bank personnel. Construction loans are underwritten based on the estimated “as complete” value of the property. The Bank originates loans secured by raw land, which are generally granted to developers; these loans have terms of 1 to 3 years. Land loans generally have loan-to-value ratios not exceeding 65%. Land loans have a higher level of risk than residential mortgage loans because their values tend to fluctuate more frequently and in a more pronounced manner. The Company has sought to minimize this risk by offering such financing primarily to builders and developers with whom the Bank has established relationships and to persons who have previous experience with such projects.

 

 16 | P a g e

 

The Company makes residential mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit secured by 1-4 family residential properties. Most loans in this segment are secured by properties located in the Company's local market area. Home equity lines of credit are extended to consumer borrowers at floating rates, generally based on the Bank’s Prime rate of interest, with a maximum loan-to-value ratios not exceeding 80%. Home equity lines have terms of 20 years, with an initial 10-year interest-only draw period, followed by a 10-year repayment period. Residential mortgage loans are extended on 1-4 family residential properties purchased for investment/rental purposes. These loans are generally for terms of 5 to 10 years, with loan to value ratios generally limited to 75% with amortization periods of 20-25 years. Maturities longer than 5 years generally require a rate adjustment after 5 years. The retention of adjustable-rate loans in the portfolio helps reduce the Company's exposure to rising interest rates. However, during periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable-rate loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of the interest cost to the borrower.

 

The Company originates multi-family residential loans in its local market area. Because payments on these loans are often dependent on the successful operations and management of the property, repayment of such loans may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. The Company seeks to minimize these risks in a variety of ways, including limiting the size of such loans, requiring personal guarantees from property owners, obtaining substantial down payments and limiting loan to value ratios to 75-80%. These fixed rate loans typically have balloon maturities of 5 to 10 years, amortization periods of 20 to 30 years, with rate adjustments every five years.

 

On an ongoing basis, the Company assigns a grade to each of its loans. The internal grades are pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss. Loans graded pass are high quality loans where the borrower exhibits a strong balance sheet position and good earnings and cash flow history. Loans graded special mention show potential weaknesses that deserve the Company’s close attention. If these potential weaknesses are not corrected, they may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Company’s credit position at some future date. Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness that could jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weaknesses are not corrected. Loans graded doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in substandard loans with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly improbable. Assets graded loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as an asset is not warranted. The classification does not mean the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but that it is not practical to defer charging off the loan even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.

 

On January 1, 2023, the Bank adopted the CECL methodology as required by ASC 326. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans receivable. For further discussion, please see note 1 to these consolidated financial statements.

The Company's leases have lease terms between two years and ten years, and most of these leases include one or more renewal options for five years or less. At lease commencement, the Company assesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise a renewal option by considering various economic factors. Options that are reasonably certain of being exercised are factored into the determination of the lease term and related payments are included in the calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability.  The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of lease payments when the interest rate implicit in a lease is not disclosed.  None of the Company’s current leases contain variable lease payment terms.  The Company accounts for associated non-lease components separately.

Wholly owned first mortgage loans on 1 - 4 family and multifamily dwelling units, commercial real estate loans, and second mortgages and home equity lines of credit with unpaid principal balances of approximately $9.7 million were pledged to the FHLB as collateral on the borrowing facility as of December 31, 2024.

 

9. ADVANCES FROM FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF RICHMOND

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company began participating in the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond’s Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”). The Federal Reserve Board of Governors established the BTFP in March 2023 to make additional funding available to eligible depository institutions in order to help assure banks have the ability to meet the needs of all their depositors. Qualifying investment securities that were owned by the depository institutions at the time the BTFP was established may be pledged as collateral. The securities are valued at par, with no discounts applied to determine lendable value. BTFP advances can have terms up to one year and the interest rate is the one-year overnight swap rate plus 10 basis points, which will be fixed for the entire term, based on the rate on the day the advance is requested. Advances could have been requested until March 11, 2024 and may be repaid at any time without penalty. As of December 31, 2023, the par value and carrying value of securities pledged was approximately $13.2 million and $11.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $7.0 million outstanding under the borrowing facility. The advance was fully repaid in September 2024.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company began participating in the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond’s Borrower-in-Custody (“BIC”) program. The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond allows qualifying depository institutions to pledge loans to secure borrowings from the FRB discount window or for payment system risk purposes. The BIC arrangement permits the Company to retain possession of the loans pledged as collateral. Among other criteria, eligibility for the BIC is based on the financial condition of the depository institution, loan administration controls, documentation practices, asset quality, and the ability of the depository institution to meet the program’s requirements. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the outstanding principal balance of commercial business and consumer loans pledged was approximately $27.1 million and $31.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, based on the level of collateral, the Company had credit availability of $18.9 million and $20.2 million,

 28 | P a g e

 

respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no outstanding advances under the borrowing facility.

 

10. INCOME TAXES

Valuation allowance   (8,031)   (8,031)
Net deferred tax assets  $9,734   $9,780 

 

The Company established a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets during the third quarter 2012 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The establishment of the valuation allowance did not preclude the Company from realizing these assets in the future. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company reduced the valuation allowance on its deferred tax asset by approximately $9.6 million. The analysis of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance considered the Company’s return to profitability in December 2021 that continued throughout 2022, 2023, and 2024, as well as the reduction in OREO and removal of the Written Agreement with the Company’s regulatory agencies, both of which have a significant impact on the Company’s future earnings. The amount of the valuation allowance reduction was determined based on the Company’s projected future earnings that can be applied to the loss carry-forwards before their expiration date. The Company has federal loss carry-forwards totaling approximately $61.5 million that begin to expire in 2033.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in the State of Maryland. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2021.

 

11. REGULATORY MATTERS

 

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 and additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company’s and 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 assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below and as defined in the regulations) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, of Tier 1 capital to average assets, and Common Equity Tier 1 capital. Management believes, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Board categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that

 30 | P a g e

 

management believes have changed the Bank’s categorization. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table below.

12.  OFFICER, DIRECTOR, AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

 

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

 

In 2021, the Company adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) that provides that the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Committee”) may grant various types of awards to directors, officers, and employees. Types of awards allowed under the Plan include stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and performance units. The total number of shares of common stock to be reserved and available for awards under the Plan is 1,532,832 shares.

 

In November 2022, of the 1,532,832 shares available for awards under the Plan, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase up to 1,153,846 shares of common stock of the Company. The exercise price of the options is $1.30 per share. One-fifth of the options will become fully vested and exercisable on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant, provided the holder is an employee or director of the Bank or the Company as of such date. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Bank had $307 thousand and $445 thousand, respectively, in unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options. In September 2023, the stock option agreements to purchase up to 769,231 shares of common stock were amended such that the stock options will become fully vested and exercisable upon a change in control. Therefore, the amortization of the cost of these stock options is no longer being recognized in the consolidated Statements of Income as of the date of the amended agreements. The cost of the remaining 384,615 stock options continued to be amortized in equal annual installments until September 2024 when the holder elected not to exercise the options and the options were cancelled. The expiration date of the stock options is the ten-year anniversary of the date of grant. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the expense related to the stock options is approximately $26 thousand and $65 thousand, respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards

 

In November 2022, the Board of Directors approved discretionary restricted stock awards for 1,076,924 shares of common stock. One-fifth of the awards will become fully vested and exercisable on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant, provided the holder of the award is an employee or director of the Bank or the Company as of such date. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Bank had approximately $923 thousand and $1.2 million, respectively, in unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock awards. In September 2023, the restricted stock award agreements for 800,000 shares of common stock were amended such that the awards will be deemed non-forfeitable and transferable upon a change in control. Therefore, the amortization of the cost of these restricted stock awards is no longer being recognized in the consolidated Statements of Income as of the date of the amended agreements. The cost of the remaining 276,924 restricted stock awards continued to be amortized in equal annual installments until they were fully vested and released in the fourth quarter 2024. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the expense related to the restricted stock awards is approximately $281 thousand and $166 thousand, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024, $145 thousand of the total amount was related to a portion of the awards withheld to cover related taxes.

Profit Sharing Plan

 

The Bank established a defined contribution 401(k) profit sharing plan (“401(k)”) for the benefit of its employees. The 401(k) covers all full-time employees who meet certain eligibility requirements as to age and length of service. Contributions to the 401(k) are based on the amounts contributed by employees. The employees may contribute a percentage of their annual compensation to the 401(k). The Company makes a discretionary matching contribution equal to a uniform percentage of the amount of the employees’ contribution. In applying the matching contribution, only employee salary deductions up to 2.0% will be considered. The Company may also make a discretionary profit sharing contribution to the 401(k) as determined by the Board of Directors. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s expense related to the 401(k) was $39 thousand and $37 thousand, respectively.

 

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

 

In the normal course of business, the Company has various outstanding credit commitments which are properly not reflected in the financial statements. These commitments are made to satisfy the financing needs of the Company’s clients. The associated credit risk is controlled by subjecting such activity to the same credit and quality controls that exist for the Company’s lending and investing activities. The commitments involve diverse business and consumer customers and are generally well collateralized. Management does not anticipate that losses, if any, which may occur as a result of these commitments, would materially affect the stockholders’ equity of the Company. Since a portion of the commitments have some likelihood of not being exercised, the amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

 

Loan and credit line commitments, excluding unused portions of home equity lines of credit, totaled approximately $5.3 million at December 31, 2024, and $5.3 million at December 31, 2023. These commitments are contingent upon continuing customer compliance with the terms of the agreement.

 

Unused portions of home equity lines at year-end amounted to approximately $3.9 million at December 31, 2024 and $2.9 million at December 31, 2023. The Bank’s home equity line accounts are secured by the borrower’s residence.

 

Irrevocable letters of credit, totaling $994 thousand at December 31, 2024 and $1.1 million at December 31, 2023, are obligations to make payments under certain conditions to meet contingencies related to customers’ contractual agreements. They are primarily used to guarantee a customer’s contractual and/or financial performance and are seldom exercised.

 

The Bank has established an allowance for off balance sheet credit exposures. The allowance is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a loss for off balance sheet credit exposures charged to earnings. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the required funding of these exposures is uncollectible. While this evaluation is completed on a regular basis, it is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the allowance was approximately $45 thousand and $99 thousand, respectively, and is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

14. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

In the following table, basic earnings (loss) per share is derived by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and does not include the effect of any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. The weighted average number of shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share includes unvested restricted stock awards, as they contain voting and dividend rights. The diluted earnings per share are derived by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect if agreements to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of unvested stock options and restricted stock awards is computed using the treasury stock method. No shares were dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

15.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

ASC Topic 825 Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values for both its on and off-balance sheet financial instruments.

 

Current accounting pronouncements require disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. With the exception of certain marketable securities, the Company’s financial instruments are not readily marketable and market prices do not exist. Since negotiated prices in illiquid markets depend upon the then present motivations

 34 | P a g e

 

of the buyer and seller, the assumption could be made the actual sales prices could reasonably vary widely from any estimate of fair value made without the benefit of negotiations. Additionally, the changes in market interest rates can dramatically impact the value of financial instruments in a short period of time. Finally, the Company expects to retain substantially all assets and liabilities measured at fair value to their maturity or call date. Accordingly, the fair values disclosed herein are unlikely to represent the instruments’ liquidation values, and do not with the exception of securities, loans, time deposits, and borrowings, consider exit costs since they cannot be reasonably estimated.

 

Accounting principles establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

  Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
     
  Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology included quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
     
  Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

16.  ASSETS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE

 

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements:

 

Securities available-for-sale: Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2).

 

Accounting principles permit the measurement of certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s assets (in thousands) that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period.

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2024 and 2023, the following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the assets. For other real estate owned and individually evaluated loans, Level 3 assets are valued at the lesser of the unpaid principal balance of the loan, or the appraised value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated disposal costs, as determined by a third-party appraiser.

 

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements:

 

Collateral Dependent Loans: The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis; however, from time to time a loan is individually evaluated and a specific reserve is established. Loans for which the probability exists the payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are individually evaluated. Once a loan is identified as collateral dependent, management measures the extent of any loss. The fair value of these loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value, and discounted cash flow. Those loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. Individually evaluated loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Exhibit 99.3

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations”, giving effect to the acquisition of Cecil Bancorp, Inc. (“Cecil”) by ENB Financial Corp (the “Corporation”). Under this method, Cecil’s assets and liabilities as of February 1, 2026, the date of the acquisition, will be recorded at their respective fair values and added to those of the Corporation. Any difference between the purchase price for Cecil and the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired (including core deposit intangibles) will be recorded as goodwill. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition will not be amortized to expense but instead will be reviewed for impairment at least annually. Any core deposit intangible with estimated useful lives to be recorded by the Corporation in connection with the acquisition will be amortized to expense over such core deposit intangible asset’s estimated useful life. The financial statements of the Corporation issued after the acquisition will reflect the results attributable to the acquired operations of Cecil beginning on the date of completion of the acquisition. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and accompanying notes are based on and should be read in conjunction with the following historical financial statements and accompanying notes:

·The historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (included in the Corporation’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2025), and the historical audited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 (included in ENB Financial Corp’s 2024 10-K); and
·The historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of Cecil as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Cecil as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 (included as Exhibits in this Form 8-K/A).

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative information purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily, and should not be assumed to be, an indication of the actual results that would have been achieved had the merger been completed as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Information, which requires the depiction of the accounting for the transaction, which we refer to as transaction accounting adjustments. Regulation S-X also allows for management adjustments that could include presentation of reasonably estimable cost savings and revenue enhancements and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur. The Corporation has elected not to present management’s adjustments and will only be presenting transaction accounting adjustments in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 combines information from the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Corporation as of September 30, 2025 with the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Cecil as of September 30, 2025, as if it had been consummated on September 30, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, combines information from the unaudited consolidated statements of income of the Corporation for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with the unaudited consolidated statement of income of Cecil for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, giving effect to the transaction as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2024. Certain reclassification adjustments have been made to Cecil’s financial statements to conform to the Corporation’s financial statement presentation, and certain reclassifications have been made to the Corporation’s financial statements to break-out certain financial statement line items.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared with the Corporation as the accounting acquirer and Cecil as the accounting acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly,

Page 1 

 

the consideration paid by the Corporation to complete the acquisition of Cecil will be allocated to Cecil’s assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of completion of the acquisition. The fair value adjustments made to the acquired assets and liabilities herein are considered preliminary and are subject to changes as the Corporation finalizes its fair value determinations. The allocation is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have not been finalized at this time; however, preliminary significant valuations based on the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities have been estimated and included in the unaudited condensed pro forma financial statements.

The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after completion of thorough analyses to determine the fair value of Cecil’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of February 1, 2026, the effective date. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the Corporation’s consolidated statements of income due to adjustments in yield and/or amortization of the adjusted assets or liabilities. Any changes to Cecil’s stockholders’ equity, including results of operations from September 30, 2025, through the closing date will also change the purchase price allocation, which may include the recording of a lower or higher amount of goodwill. The final adjustments may be materially different from the transaction accounting adjustments presented herein.

The pro forma statements of income and per share data information does not include anticipated cost savings or revenue enhancements. The Corporation and Cecil continue to assess the two companies’ personnel, benefits plans, premises, equipment, computer systems, and service contracts to determine where the companies may take advantage of redundancies including converting Cecil to the Corporation’s core operating system. Certain decisions arising from these assessments may involve canceling contracts between either Cecil or the Corporation and certain service providers. There is no assurance that the anticipated cost savings will be realized on the anticipated time schedule or at all. The pro forma combined basic and diluted earnings per share of the Corporation’s common stock is based on the pro forma combined net income for Cecil and the Corporation divided by the basic or diluted common shares of the Corporation for the periods presented on such statements of income. The pro forma information includes adjustments related to the fair value of assets and liabilities of Cecil and is subject to adjustment as additional information becomes available and as final merger date analyses are performed. The pro forma combined balance sheet and book value per share data includes the adjustment to reflect the unaccrued one-time merger and conversion related charges for the Corporation and Cecil: (a) the Corporation’s pre-tax charges are estimated at $2,485,000 ($2,128,000 after tax) and $1,550,000 ($1,213,000 after tax) for merger and conversion related charges and are included as a pro forma liability accrual with the after-tax cost as reduction to retained earnings, and (b) Cecil’s pre-tax charges are estimated at $497,000 ($360,000 after-tax) and are included as a pro forma fair value liability accrual. The pro forma combined book value per share of the Corporation is based on the pro forma combined common stockholders’ equity of Cecil and the Corporation divided by total common shares of the Corporation.

The unaudited pro forma data are qualified by the statements set forth under this caption and should not be considered indicative of the market value of the Corporation’s common stock or the actual or future results of operations of the Corporation for any period. Actual results may be materially different than the pro forma information presented.
