NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
Note 1 — Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The unaudited consolidated financial statements include Orange County Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware bank holding company (“Orange County Bancorp”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Orange Bank & Trust Company, a New York trust company (the “Bank”) and Hudson Valley Investment Advisors (“HVIA”), a Registered Investment Advisor, together referred to as the “Company.” Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company provides commercial and consumer banking services to individuals, small businesses and local municipal governments as well as trust and investment services through the Bank and HVIA. The Company is headquartered in Middletown, New York, with
Assets held by the Company in an agency or fiduciary capacity for its customers are excluded from the consolidated financial statements since they do not constitute assets of the Company. Assets held by the Company in an agency or fiduciary capacity for its customers amounted to $
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 for Orange County Bancorp contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2025. In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2025, the results of operations, comprehensive income, and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and cash flow statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or for any future period. Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements to conform with prior period presentations.
Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, enhancing disclosure requirements for reportable segments, focusing on significant segment expenses, the identification of a segment's chief decision making officer, and the metrics used by the chief decision making officer in evaluating segment-level operating performance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company began providing enhanced segment reporting disclosures in accordance with ASU 2023-07 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, and for interim periods thereafter.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, intended to enhance the transparency of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
Specifically, the amendments in this ASU require disclosure of: (i) a tabular reconciliation, using both percentages and reporting currency amounts, with prescribed categories that are required to be disclosed, and the separate disclosure and disaggregation of prescribed reconciling items with an effect equal to 5% or more of the amount determined by multiplying pretax income from continuing operations by the applicable statutory rate; (ii) a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority (greater than 50%) of the effect of the state and local income taxes; and (iii) amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and by individual jurisdictions that comprise 5% or more of total income taxes paid, net of refunds received. The ASU also includes other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures.
ASU 2023-09 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2025 for annual reporting periods, on a prospective basis and is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans Receivable
The allowance for credit losses on loans is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the loan to present the net amount expected to be collected. Expected losses are evaluated and calculated on a collective, or pooled, basis for those loans which share similar risk characteristics. If the loan does not share risk characteristics with other loans, the Company will evaluate the loan on an individual basis. Individually evaluated loans are primarily non-accrual and collateral dependent loans. Periodically, certain substandard loans may be downgraded according to policy guidelines but will exhibit characteristics which do not require individual evaluation. The related allowance for those loans would be based on the pooling methodology in determining the appropriate reserve. Furthermore, the Company evaluates the pooling methodology at least annually to ensure that loans with similar risk characteristics are pooled appropriately. Loans are charged off against the allowance for credit losses when the Company believes the balances to be uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged off or expected to be charged off. The Company does not estimate expected losses on accrued interest receivable on loans, as accrued interest receivable is reversed or written off when the full collection of the accrued interest receivable related to a loan becomes doubtful.
The Company has chosen to segment its portfolio consistent with the manner in which it manages credit risk. The Company calculates estimated credit losses for these loan segments using quantitative models and qualitative factors. Further information on loan segmentation and the credit loss estimation is included in Note 3 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company updated and enhanced its Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) estimation methodology related to the observed loss histories across its peer group and the evaluation of qualitative factors under the CECL framework. Specifically, the Company expanded its comparative peer group and the associated loss history for these institutions to include observations through December 31, 2024 and separately, adopted a scorecard-based approach to assess qualitative adjustments applied to the modeled credit loss estimates.
These updates were made to enhance forecasting accuracy based on current economic data and to improve consistency, transparency, and documentation in the evaluation of qualitative factors across the Company’s loan portfolios. The scorecard incorporates a structured assessment of various internal and external indicators, including changes in credit underwriting standards, economic and business conditions, probability of loss estimates, and portfolio composition among other criteria. These indicators are based on predefined criteria, with the results used to determine directional adjustments to the modeled loss rates.
Neither the model calibration employed to update loss drivers, nor the adoption of the scorecard represented a change in accounting principle; but rather a refinement in estimation technique within the existing CECL framework. The net impact of this methodological revision was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2025.
The Company believes this enhancement better aligns the quantitative and qualitative framework with regulatory expectations and internal risk management practices, and supports more consistent application over time.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
Individually Evaluated Loans
On a case-by-case basis, the Company may conclude that a loan should be evaluated on an individual basis based on its disparate risk characteristics. When the Company determines that a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with other loans in the portfolio, the allowance will be determined on an individual basis using the present value of expected cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral as of the reporting date, less estimated selling costs, as applicable. If the fair value of the collateral is less than the amortized cost basis of the loan, the Company will charge off the difference between the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell at the reporting date and the amortized cost basis of the loan.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Commitments
The Company is required to include unfunded commitments that are expected to be funded in the future within the allowance calculation, other than those that are unconditionally cancelable. To arrive at that reserve, the reserve percentage for each applicable segment is applied to the unused portion of the expected commitment balance and is multiplied by the expected funding rate. As noted above, the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments is included in other liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial condition and the related credit expense is recorded as provisions for credit losses in the consolidated statements of income.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Available for Sale Securities
For available for sale securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more than likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For securities available for sale that do not meet the above criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost and adverse conditions related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for, or reversal of, credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an available for sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. The Company does not estimate expected losses on accrued interest receivable on investments, as accrued interest receivable is reversed or written off when the full collection of the accrued interest receivable related to an investment becomes doubtful.

loss position. Unrealized losses are primarily related to the Company’s mortgage backed securities, U.S. government agency securities, and investments in obligations of states and political subdivisions as discussed below.
Available for sale securities are evaluated to determine if a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. An impairment related to credit factors would be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The allowance is limited to the amount by which the security’s amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value. An impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses shall be recorded through other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Investment securities will be written down to fair value through the Consolidated Statements of Income when management intends to sell, or may be required to sell, the securities before they recover in value. Primarily all of the investment securities are backed by loans guaranteed by either U.S. government agencies or U.S government-sponsored entities, and management believes that default is highly unlikely given the lack of historical credit losses and governmental backing. Management believes that the unrealized losses on these securities are a function of changes in market interest rates and credit spreads, not changes in credit quality.
The Company’s available for sale debt securities portfolio includes U.S. government agencies and treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, and obligations of states and political subdivisions, as well as other securities. These types of securities may include a risk of future impairment charges as a result of the changes in market interest rates, unpredictable nature of the U.S. economy and their potential negative effect on the future performance of the security issuers. Available for sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions are evaluated for impairment related to credit losses on a quarterly basis. Management reviewed the collectability of these securities, taking into consideration such factors as financial condition of the issuers, credit ratings when available, reported capital ratios of the issuers, among other pertinent factors. Management also evaluated the credit quality, the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity, and the impact of interest rates on the respective fair values of the securities. Based on that review and evaluation, it was determined that any change in fair value was temporary and did not result in impairment. Accordingly,
The Company does not intend to sell any of its available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell any of its securities prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company engaged a third-party vendor to assist in the CECL calculation and internal governance framework to oversee the quarterly estimation process for the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). The ACL calculation methodology relies on regression-based discounted cash flow (“DCF”) models that correlate relationships between certain financial metrics and external market and macroeconomic variables. The Company uses Probability of Default (“PD”) and Loss Given Default (“LGD”) with quantitative factors and qualitative considerations in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses for collectively evaluated loans. The Company uses a reasonable and supportable period of one year, at which point loss assumptions revert back to historical loss information by means of a one-year reversion period. Following are some of the key factors and assumptions that are used in the Company’s CECL calculations:
• methods based on probability of default and loss given default which are modeled based on macroeconomic scenarios;
• a reasonable and supportable forecast period determined based on management’s current review of macroeconomic environment;
• a reversion period after the reasonable and supportable forecast period;
• estimated prepayment rates based on the Company’s historical experience and future macroeconomic environment;
• estimated credit utilization rates based on the Company’s historical experience and future macroeconomic environment; and
• incorporation of qualitative factors not captured within the modeled results. The qualitative factors include but are not limited to
changes in lending policies, business conditions, changes in the nature and size of the portfolio, portfolio concentrations, and
external factors such as competition.
Allowance for Credit Losses are aggregated for the major loan segments, with similar risk characteristics, summarized below. However, for the purposes of calculating the reserves, these segments may be further broken down into loan classes by risk characteristics that include but are not limited to regulatory call codes, industry type, geographic location, and collateral type.
Residential real estate loans involve certain risks such as interest rate risk and risk of non-repayment. Adjustable-rate residential real estate loans decrease the interest rate risk to the Bank that is associated with changes in interest rates but involve other risks, primarily because as interest rates rise, the payment by the borrower rises to the extent permitted by the terms of the loan, thereby increasing the potential for default. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying properties may be adversely affected by

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
higher interest rates. Repayment risk may be affected by a number of factors including, but not necessarily limited to, job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy of the borrower.
Commercial and multi-family real estate lending entails additional risks as compared with residential family property lending. Such loans typically involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. The payment experience on such loans is typically dependent on the successful operation of the real estate project. The success of such projects is sensitive to changes in supply and demand conditions in the market for commercial real estate as well as general economic conditions.
Construction lending is generally considered to involve a high risk due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of the general economic conditions on developers and builders. Moreover, a construction loan can involve additional risks because of the inherent difficulty in estimating both a property’s value at completion of the project and the estimated cost (including interest) of the project. The nature of these loans is such that they are generally difficult to evaluate and monitor. In addition, speculative construction loans to a builder are not necessarily pre-sold and thus pose a greater potential risk to the Bank than construction loans to individuals on their personal residence.
Commercial and industrial lending, including lines of credit, is generally considered higher risk due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of general economic conditions on the business. Commercial business loans are primarily secured by inventories and other business assets. In many cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted commercial business loans will not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance.
Home equity lending entails certain risks such as interest rate risk and risk of non-repayment. The marketability of the underlying property may be adversely affected by higher interest rates, decreasing the collateral value securing the loan. Repayment risk can be affected by job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy of the borrower. Home equity line of credit lending entails securing an equity interest in the borrower’s home. In many cases, the Bank’s position in these loans is as a junior lien holder to another institution’s superior lien. This type of lending is often priced on an adjustable rate basis with the rate set at or above a predefined index. Adjustable-rate loans decrease the interest rate risk to the Bank that is associated with changes in interest rates but involve other risks, primarily because as interest rates rise, the payment by the borrower rises to the extent permitted by the terms of the loan, thereby increasing the potential for default.
Consumer loans generally have more credit risk because of the type and nature of the collateral and, in certain cases, the absence of collateral. Consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than other lending. In addition, consumer lending collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness and personal bankruptcy. In many cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan will not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan.

Individually Analyzed Loans
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company began analyzing loans on an individual basis when management determined that the loan no longer exhibited risk characteristics consistent with the risk characteristics existing in its designated pool of loans, under the Company's CECL methodology. Loans individually analyzed include certain nonaccrual commercial, as well as certain accruing loans previously identified under prior troubled debt restructuring (TDR) guidance.
As of June 30, 2025, the amortized cost basis of individually analyzed loans was $

Credit Quality Indicators: The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes loans with an outstanding balance greater than $
Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the institution’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well- defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

ORANGE COUNTY BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)
Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass-rated loans.

Note 4 — Fair Value
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (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. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other 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.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:
Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2), using matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique commonly used to price debt securities that are not actively traded, values debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).
Individually Evaluated, or Collateral Dependent Loans and Other Real Estate Owned: The fair value of collateral dependent loans that are individually evaluated for impairment 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 and resulted 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. Collateral dependent loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted in accordance with the allowance policy.
Appraisals are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by a third-party appraisal management company that the Company has engaged in accordance with internal vendor management policies and approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. Once received, the appraisal review function is conducted by the appraisal management company and consists of a review of the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. Through this review, the appraisal management company evaluates the validity of the appraised value and the strength of the conclusions; which are subsequently confirmed by a member of the Credit Department. Discounts to the appraised value are then applied to recognize the carrying costs incurred until disposition, realtor fees, deterioration in the quality of the asset, and the age of the appraisal. The net effect of these adjustments were included in the charge-off to the allowance upon acquisition of the foreclosed property and/or upon partial charge-off of the collateral dependent loan. The most recent analysis of property appraisals including the appropriate discount rates are incorporated into the allowance methodology for the respective loan portfolio segments.

The Company earns wealth management fees, which includes trust income and investment advisory income, from its contracts with trust and brokerage customers to manage assets for investment, and/or to transact on their accounts. These fees are primarily earned over time as the Company provides the contracted services and are generally assessed based on a tiered scale of the market value of the assets under management at month-end or quarter-end.
Note 9 — Segment Information
The Company's reportable segments are determined by the Chief Financial Officer, who is the designated Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), based upon information provided about the Company's products and services offered, primarily distinguished between banking and wealth management services provided by the Bank's wealth management division. They are also distinguished by the level of information provided to the CODM, who uses such information to review performance of various components of the business. Financial performance of the Company's business segments is evaluated by the CODM through evaluation of revenue sources, significant expenses, and budget to actual results in assessing the performance of the Company's segments and in determining the allocation of resources. The CODM reviews revenue sources to evaluate product pricing and significant expense to assess performance of each segment to evaluate compensation of certain employees. Segment pretax profit or loss is used to assess the performance of the banking segment by monitoring the margin between interest revenue and interest expense. Segment pretax profit or loss is used to assess the performance of the Wealth Management Division by monitoring wealth management fee income and AUM. Loans, investments, and deposits primarily provide the revenues in the banking operation and wealth management fee income provide the revenues for the Wealth Management Division. Interest expense, provision for credit losses, salaries and benefits expense, occupancy costs, and technology expense provide the significant expenses in the banking

Note 10 — Regulatory Capital Matters
The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgements by regulators. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks, (Basel III rules), became effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in by January 1, 2019. Under the Basel III rules, the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The regulations limit capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management if the institution does not hold a “capital conservation buffer.” The capital conservation buffer is
During June 2025, the Company completed a follow-on common stock offering with gross proceeds of approximately $
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion and capital restoration plans are required. Capital levels at June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024 exceeded the regulatory minimum levels for the Bank to be considered well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties and are based on certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable but may prove to be inaccurate. Certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those set forth under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected results discussed in the forward-looking statements appearing in this discussion and analysis. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “expect,” “attribute,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “goal,” “target,” “outlook,” “aim,” “would,” “annualized” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
● | statements of our goals, intentions and expectations; |
● | statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies; |
● | statements regarding the quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and |
● | estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits. |
These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:
● | inflation, tariffs and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; |
● | general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected; |
● | changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses; |
● | our ability to access cost-effective funding; |
● | events involving the failure of financial institutions may adversely affect our business, and the market price of our common stock; |
● | fluctuations in real estate values and both residential and commercial real estate market conditions; |
● | demand for loans and deposits in our market area; |
● | risks associated with loan participations; |
● | our ability to implement and change our business strategies; |
● | competition among depository and other financial institutions; |
● | the amounts of non-performing loans and loans that are charged-off; |
● | adverse changes in the securities markets; |
● | fluctuations in the stock market may have a significant adverse effect on transaction fees, client activity and client investment portfolio gains and losses related to our trust and wealth management business; |
33
● | changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements; |
● | our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; |
● | our ability to capitalize on strategic opportunities; |
● | our ability to successfully introduce new products and services; |
● | our ability to prevent or mitigate fraudulent activity; |
● | our ability to successfully integrate into our operations any assets, liabilities, customers, systems and management personnel we may acquire and our ability to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames, and any goodwill charges related thereto; |
● | our ability to retain our existing customers; |
● | changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; |
● | changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; |
● | changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans; |
● | changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios; |
● | a breach in security of our information systems, including the occurrence of a cyber incident or a deficiency in cyber security; |
● | political instability or civil unrest; |
● | acts of war or terrorism; |
● | competition and innovation with respect to financial products and services by banks, financial institutions and non-traditional providers, including retail businesses and technology companies; |
● | the failure to attract and retain skilled people; |
● | any future FDIC insurance premium increases, or special assessment may adversely affect our earnings; |
● | the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies; and |
● | other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and operational factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. |
The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with other cautionary statements that are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are a bank holding company headquartered in Middletown, New York and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act. Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Orange Bank & Trust Company and Hudson Valley Investment Advisors, Inc., we offer full-service commercial and consumer banking products and services and trust and wealth management services to small businesses, middle-market enterprises, local municipal governments and affluent individuals in the Lower Hudson Valley region, the New York metropolitan area and nearby markets in Connecticut and New Jersey. By combining the high-touch service and relationship-based focus of a community bank with the extensive suite of financial products and services offered by our larger competitors, we believe we can continue to capitalize on the growth opportunities available in our market areas. We also offer a variety of deposit accounts to businesses and consumers, including checking accounts and a full line of municipal banking accounts through our business banking platform. These activities, together with our 15 offices and one loan production office, continue to produce a stable source of low- cost core deposits and a diverse loan portfolio with attractive risk-adjusted yields. We also offer private banking services through Orange Bank & Trust Private Banking, a division of Orange Bank & Trust Company, and provide trust and wealth management services through Orange Bank & Trust Company’s trust services department and HVIA, which combined had $1.8 billion in assets under management at June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, our assets, loans, deposits and stockholders’ equity totaled $2.6 billion, $1.9 billion, $2.3 billion and $252.6 million, respectively.
34
At June 30, 2025, we operate from our main office and 14 branch offices. We own our main office in Middletown, New York, and three branch offices which are located in Chester, Newburgh and in Montgomery, New York. We lease eleven branch offices located in Middletown, Goshen, Cortlandt Manor, White Plains, Mamaroneck, New City, Mt. Pleasant, Mount Vernon, Bronx, Nanuet, and Yonkers, New York. The branches are leased under agreements that may be renewed for various periods. In addition, HVIA operates from leased offices located in Goshen, New York. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total net book value of our leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment was approximately $14.9 million and $15.8 million, respectively.
Key Factors Affecting Our Business
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the most significant contributor to our net income and is the difference between the interest and fees earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred in connection with interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is primarily a function of the average balances and yields/rates of these interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. These factors are influenced by internal considerations such as product mix and risk appetite as well as external influences such as economic conditions, competition for loans and deposits and market interest rates.
The cost of our deposits and short-term borrowings is primarily based on short-term interest rates, which are largely driven by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s (the “FRB”) actions and market competition. The yields generated by our loans and securities are typically affected by short-term and long-term interest rates, which are driven by market competition and market rates often impacted by the FRB’s actions. The level of net interest income is influenced by movements in such interest rates and the pace at which such movements occur.
Considering the impact of the FRB’s rate reduction during the second half of 2024 and 2025 economic conditions, it is possible that interest rates may be reduced during 2025. Although our asset sensitivity is relatively neutral, this movement could have a beneficial impact on our net interest income.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income is also a contributor to our net income. Noninterest income consists primarily of our investment advisory income, trust income generated by HVIA and our trust department, as well as income generated by our BOLI investment earnings. In addition, noninterest income is also impacted by net gains (losses) on the sale of investment securities, service charges on deposit accounts, and other fee income consisting primarily of debit card fee income, checkbook fees and rebates and safe deposit box rental income.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense includes salaries, employee benefits, occupancy, professional fees, directors’ fees and expenses, computer software expense, federal deposit insurance assessment, advertising expenses, advisor expenses related to trust income and other expenses. In evaluating our level of noninterest expense, we closely monitor our efficiency ratio. The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense to net interest income plus noninterest income. We continue to seek to identify ways to streamline our business and operate more efficiently.
Credit Quality. We have well established loan policies and underwriting practices that have resulted in relatively low levels of loan charge-offs and nonperforming assets in recent periods. We strive to originate quality loans that will maintain the credit quality of our loan portfolio. However, credit trends in the markets in which we operate are largely impacted by economic conditions beyond our control and can adversely impact our financial condition.
Competition. The industry and businesses in which we operate are highly competitive. We may see increased competition in different areas including interest rates, underwriting standards and product offerings and structure. While we seek to maintain an appropriate return on our investments, we anticipate that we will experience continued pressure on our net interest margins as we operate in this competitive environment.
Economic Conditions. Our business and financial performance are affected by economic conditions generally in the United States and more directly in the market of the Lower Hudson Valley region, the New York metropolitan area and nearby markets in Connecticut and New Jersey where we primarily operate. The significant economic factors that are most relevant to our business and our financial performance include, but are not limited to, real estate values, interest rates and unemployment rates.
Regulatory Trends. We operate in a highly regulated environment and nearly all of our operations are subject to extensive regulation and supervision. Bank or securities regulators, Congress, the State of New York, the FRB and the New York State
35
Department of Financial Services (the “NYSDFS”) may revise the laws and regulations applicable to us, may impose new laws and regulations, increase the level of scrutiny of our business in the supervisory process, and pursue additional enforcement actions against financial institutions. Future legislative and regulatory changes such as these may increase our costs and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The legislative and regulatory trends that will affect us in the future are impossible to predict with any certainty.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Critical accounting estimates are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and procedures and are particularly susceptible to significant change. Critical accounting policies are defined as those involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that could have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income under different assumptions or conditions. These critical estimates, policies and their application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and the board of directors. Management believes that the most critical accounting estimates, which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments, are as follows:
Allowance for Credit Losses. Management believes that the determination of the allowance for credit losses involves a high degree of complexity and requires management to make difficult and subjective judgments, which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates could materially impact the results of operations for Orange County Bancorp. The methodology, assumptions, and governance of this CECL model have been codified in a policy document that was most recently reviewed and approved by the Company’s Audit & Risk Committee during the fourth quarter of 2024. While there were no fundamental changes to the CECL model during the quarter, management evaluated certain probability of default assumptions as well as the loss driver analysis. This evaluation resulted in adjustment of certain assumptions but were not considered significant changes to the model. Accordingly, management believes there were no significant changes to the critical accounting estimates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2025 A summary of our accounting policies, including the Allowance for Credit Losses, is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Assets. Our total assets were $2.6 billion at June 30, 2025, an increase of $96.3 million, or 3.8%, from December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $99.7 million in loans, net and $25.3 million in cash and due from banks, while investment securities, available for sale, decreased by $33.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Cash and due from banks. Cash and due from banks increased $25.3 million, or 16.8%, to $175.6 million at June 30, 2025, from $150.3 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was mainly the result of the completion of a $46.0 million common stock follow-

Net loans increased $99.7 million, or 5.6%, and reached $1.9 billion at June 30, 2025 as compared to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2024. The growth was primarily due to an increase of $72.4 million related to commercial real estate loans as well as a $30.5 million increase in commercial real estate construction loans and an increase of $6.5 million in commercial and industrial loans offset by decreases in the residential real estate and consumer categories. Home equity loans also increased by $1.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Commercial real estate loans increased by $72.4 million, or 5.3%, to $1.4 billion at June 30, 2025. Construction loans increased $30.5 million, or 37.6%, to $111.5 million at June 30, 2025 from $81.0 million at December 31, 2024. Commercial and industrial loans experienced an increase of $6.5 million, or 2.7%, to $248.7 million at June 30, 2025 from $242.2 million at December 31, 2024. Consumer loans decreased $5.2 million, or 13.8%, to $32.8 million at June 30, 2025 from $38.0 million at December 31, 2024. Residential real estate loans decreased $3.8 million, or 5.1%, to $71.2 million at June 30, 2025 from $75.0 million at December 31, 2024. The overall diversification within the commercial real estate portfolio continues to provide stability while we remained focused on loan originations to new and existing customers during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025 as well as our continued commitment to geographic expansion in our market area.
Non-performing Assets
Management reviews a loan for individual evaluation when it is non-performing or when it is probable at least a portion of the loan will not be collected in accordance with the original terms due to a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or the value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When a loan is determined to be non-performing, the measurement of the loan in the allowance for credit losses is based on the fair value of the collateral for all collateral-dependent loans. Non-accrual loans are loans for which collectability is questionable and, therefore, interest on such loans will no longer be recognized on an accrual basis. All loans that become 90 days or more delinquent are placed on non-accrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received on a cash basis or cost recovery method.
When we acquire real estate as a result of foreclosure, the real estate is classified as real estate owned. The real estate owned is recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Soon after acquisition, we order a new appraisal to determine the current market value of the property. Any excess of the recorded value of the loan satisfied over the market value of the property is charged against the allowance for credit losses, or, if the existing allowance is inadequate, charged to expense of the current period. After acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property are expensed. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property, however, are capitalized to the extent of estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. Management will consider a modification of loan terms, such as a reduction of the interest rate to below market terms, capitalizing past due interest or extending the maturity date and possibly a partial forgiveness of the principal amount due, when it is deemed appropriate based on individual borrower conditions. Interest income on restructured loans is accrued after the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay under the restructured terms through a sustained period of repayment performance, which is generally six consecutive months.

Non-performing loans at June 30, 2025 totaled $11.7 million and consisted of $8.4 million related to commercial real estate loans, $2.4 million associated with commercial and industrial loans, $100 thousand of residential real estate loans, and $828 thousand of home equity loans. Although there were increases in other loan segments, the level of non-performing loans was still mainly related to one non-accrual commercial real estate office space loan participation which was classified as non-accrual during the second quarter of 2024. During the third quarter of 2024, this loan was written down by approximately $8.7 million from its principal balance of $14.7 million and remains at $6.0 million as of June 30, 2025. The other loans designated as non-accrual were based upon individual analysis and payment performance. We had no other real estate owned at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Non-performing assets increased $5.4 million, or 86.0%, to $11.7 million, or 0.45% of total assets, at June 30, 2025 from $6.3 million, or 0.25% of total assets, at December 31, 2024 due to the increase in non-performing loans. Although an increase, the overall level of non-performing assets remains relatively stable at June 30, 2025. Management continues to focus on credit quality and attention to assets with potential concerns.
From time to time, as part of our loss mitigation strategy, we may renegotiate loan terms based on the economic and legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties. There were no loans modified due to financial difficulties during the three months or six months ended June 30, 2025.
Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide that loans and other assets of lesser quality should be classified as “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that we will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the
38
establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. We designate an asset as “special mention” if the asset has a potential weakness that warrants management’s close attention.
The following table summarizes classified assets of all portfolio types at the dates indicated:

On the basis of management’s review of our assets, we have classified $71.7 million of our assets at June 30, 2025 as substandard compared to $44.0 million at December 31, 2024, with the increase due to a combination of risk ratings resulting from certain trends and delinquencies within those loans. There were no doubtful assets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We designated $26.0 million of our assets at June 30, 2025 as special mention compared to $20.9 million designated as special mention at December 31, 2024.
Allowance for Credit Losses
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 (Topic 326), which replaced the incurred loss methodology with CECL for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and other commitments to extend credit. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation allowance for management’s estimate of expected credit losses in the loan portfolio. The process to determine expected credit losses utilizes analytic tools and judgement and is reviewed on a quarterly basis. When management is reasonably certain that a loan balance is not fully collectable, an analysis is completed and a specific reserve may be established or a full or partial charge off could be recorded against the allowance. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance via a quantitative analysis which considers available information from internal and external sources related to past loan loss and prepayment experience and current conditions, as well as the incorporation of reasonable and supportable forecasts. Management evaluates a variety of factors including available published economic information in arriving at its forecast. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. Also included in the allowance for credit losses are qualitative reserves that are expected, but, in management’s assessment, may not be adequately represented in the quantitative analysis or the forecasts described above. Factors may include changes in lending policies and procedures, size and composition of the portfolio, experience and depth of management and the effect of external factors such as competition, legal and regulatory requirements, among others. The allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for credit losses remains an estimate, which is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for credit losses. Such agencies may require the Company to make additional provisions for credit losses based upon information available to them at the time of their examination. Furthermore, the majority of the Bank’s loans are secured by real estate in the State of New York. Accordingly, the collectability of a substantial portion of the carrying value of the Bank’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in local market conditions and any adverse economic conditions. Future adjustments to the provision for credit losses and allowance for credit losses may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond the Company’s control.
As presented below, the allowance for credit losses increased by $593 thousand, or 2.1%, to $28.4 million, or 1.48% of total loans at June 30, 2025, from $27.8 million, or 1.60% of total loans at June 30, 2024. The increase in the allowance was primarily due to
39
reserves associated with loan growth during the period combined with specific reserves on certain loans. The six months ended June 30, 2025 also included net charge-offs of approximately $148 thousand.

Total deposits increased $123.4 million, or 5.7%, to $2.3 billion at June 30, 2025 from $2.2 billion at December 31, 2024 driven by continued deposit growth focused on maintaining strong liquidity and commercial transaction accounts during the first six months of 2025. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased $36.0 million due to normal business activity and continued focus on transactional accounts during the first six months of 2025. Interest bearing demand deposits experienced a $98.2 million, or 29.7%, increase and money market deposits increased $14.1 million, while savings deposits increased by $51.8 million during the first six months of 2025 primarily related to our continued strategic focus on business account activity. At June 30, 2025, our core deposits (which includes all deposits except for certificates of deposit) totaled $2.1 billion, or 93.7% of our total deposits. Certificates of deposit decreased by $76.7 million, or 34.7%, mainly from payoffs of brokered deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2025. We held approximately $106.5 million of brokered deposits (excluding reciprocal deposits obtained through the Certificate Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) and Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) networks) at June 30, 2025 as compared to $180.0 million at December 31, 2024. This decrease represents a strategic initiative to reduce short term brokered deposits during the period as a result of increased core deposits and allow for replacement of maturing brokered deposits with transactional customer deposits and lower interest expense. Our reciprocal deposits obtained through the CDARS and ICS networks totaled $6.6 million and $83.8 million, respectively, at June 30, 2025 and the CDARS and ICS networks totaled $6.9 million and $92.5 million, respectively, at December 31, 2024. Uninsured deposits, net of fully collateralized municipal relationships, remained stable and represent approximately 43% of total deposits as of June 30, 2025 and 39% of total deposits as of December 31, 2024.
Borrowings
Our borrowings consist of both short-term and long-term borrowings and provide us with one of our sources of funding. Maintaining available borrowing capacity provides us with a contingent source of liquidity.
Total borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York were $31.0 million at June 30, 2025 and $123.5 million at December 31, 2024 as we made the strategic decision to pay down Federal Home Loan Bank advances, short term, by approximately $92.5 million. This decrease represents the continued focus by management to reduce borrowings and the related interest expense by using lower-cost deposits for funding. We have the unused capacity to borrow an additional $541.8 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York as of June 30, 2025.
In September 2020, we issued $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of fixed to floating subordinated notes (the “2020 Notes”) to certain institutional investors. The 2020 Notes are non-callable for five years, have a stated maturity of September 30, 2030, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.25% per year until September 30, 2025. From September 30, 2025 to the maturity date or early redemption date, the interest rate will reset quarterly to a level equal to the then current three-month SOFR plus 413 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears.
Stockholders’ Equity
Stockholders’ equity increased $67.1 million, or 36.1%, to $252.6 million at June 30, 2025 from $185.5 million at December 31, 2024. The increase was due to the combination of the completion of a follow-on common stock offering during the second quarter of 2025 with net proceeds of $43.0 million coupled with $10.5 million in net income and a decrease in unrealized losses of approximately $6.3 million on the market value of investment securities within the Company’s equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), net of taxes during the first six months of 2025 offset by dividends of $3.0 million during the period.

Average Balance Sheets and Related Yields and Rates
The following tables present average balance sheet information, interest income, interest expense and the corresponding average yields earned and rates paid for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. No tax equivalent yield adjustments have been made, as the effects would be immaterial. The average balances are daily averages for loans, as presented. Interest income on loans includes the effects of discount accretion and net deferred loan origination costs accounted for as yield adjustments. Average deferred loan fees totaled $4.9 million and $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Average deferred loan fees totaled $4.9 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. The table distinguishes between: (1) changes attributable to volume (changes in volume multiplied by the prior period’s rate); (2) changes attributable to rate (change in rate
43
multiplied by the prior year’s volume) and (3) total increase (decrease) (the sum of the previous columns). Changes attributable to both volume and rate are allocated ratably between the volume and rate categories.

General. Net income increased $2.2 million, or 27.4%, to $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was driven primarily by an increase of $1.0 million related to net interest income growth and an increase of $3.5 million in noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $1.3 million during the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the same quarter in 2024. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $19.2 million, as compared to $17.5 million for the same period in 2024. The overall increase was driven by $3.1 million of net interest income growth combined with increased noninterest income of $4.2 million partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $2.5 million during the first six months of 2025 as compared to the same prior year period. The increase in
44
non-interest income includes the recognition of gain associated with the sale of a branch location coupled with a Bank Owned Life Insurance gain related to policy proceeds from a death benefit.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $712 thousand, or 2.2%, to $33.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $32.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was driven by a $124.6 million increase in the balance of average interest-earning assets between the two periods. Within the average balance of interest-earning assets, the average balance of loans receivable (net of PPP loans) grew $151.4 million, or 8.8%, between the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. During the period, the average yield of interest-earning assets decreased by 16 basis points from 5.52% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 5.36% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as a result of the lower interest rate environment.
Interest income increased $1.5 million, or 2.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 reaching $65.1 million from $63.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was driven by an $85.5 million increase in the balance of average interest-earning assets between the two periods. Within the average balance of interest-earning assets, the average balance of loans receivable (net of PPP loans) grew $121.7 million, or 7.0%, between the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. During the period, the average yield of interest-earning assets decreased by three basis points from 5.38% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 5.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as a result of the lower interest rate environment.
Interest income on loans, net of PPP loans, increased by $1.3 million, or 4.9%, to $28.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $26.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in interest income on loans was primarily due to the increase in the average balance of loans (net of PPP loans). The average balance of these loans increased by $151.4 million, or 8.8%, to $1.9 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in the average balance of loans was due to growth in commercial real estate loan balances, including commercial real estate construction, as well as growth in our commercial and industrial loan portfolio. The average yield on loans, excluding PPP loans, decreased by 21 basis points to 6.00% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 6.21% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as a result of the lower interest rate environment and competitive rate pressure within the market.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, interest income on loans, net of PPP loans, increased by $3.0 million, or 5.8%, reaching $55.4 million as compared to $52.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in interest income on loans represents the impact of growth in average loan balances (net of PPP loans) of $121.7 million between the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. The increase in average loans outstanding was due to increases in commercial real estate balances, commercial real estate construction loans, and in the commercial and industrial segment of the loan portfolio. This increase in production was offset by a decrease in average yield on loans, excluding PPP loans, for the six month periods from 6.06% in 2024 to 6.02% in 2025. The decrease in the average yield on loans was driven by the effect of the lower interest rate environment during 2025 and competitive rate pressure within the market.
Interest income on securities decreased by $281 thousand to $3.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $3.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in interest income on securities was driven primarily by a decrease in the average balance of securities outstanding during the current period due to certain maturities and securities sales. The average balance of securities decreased by $34.7 million, or 7.4%, to $432.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $467.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The average yield on investment securities decreased by three basis points overall from 2.89% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 2.86% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in the average yield reflected the continued maturity of lower yielding investments as well as the impact of $15.0 million in securities sold at the end of the current period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, interest income on securities decreased by $591 thousand, or 8.7%, to $6.2 million during the period from $6.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in interest income on securities was due to a decrease in the average balance of securities during the current period. The average balance of securities decreased by $37.2 million, or 7.8%, to $437.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $474.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to certain maturities as well as a result of securities sold at the end of the current period. The average yield on investment securities decreased by one basis point overall from 2.87% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 2.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in the average yield on securities was related to the maturity of lower yielding securities during the first half of 2025 and the impact of the securities sold at period end.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $309 thousand, or 3.7%, to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decreased interest expense was primarily the result of the lower interest rate environment and the effect of increased core deposits on overall interest costs. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liablities decreased nine basis points to 1.85% during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 1.94% for the three month period ended June 30, 2024. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $80.8 million, or 5.1%, reaching $1.7 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $1.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Interest expense decreased $1.5 million, or 8.4%, to $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in interest expense reflects the lower interest rate environment combined with the continuing effect of increased core deposits on overall deposit and funding costs during the period. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 24 basis points to 1.99% during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 2.23% for the six month period ended June 30, 2024. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $53.9 million, or 3.4%, to $1.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $1.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits increased by $206 thousand to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was due mainly to the increase in the average balance of interest bearing deposits. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by $123.3 million, or 8.2%, to $1.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $1.5 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as a result of the increases in the average balances of all categories, but primarily due to the combination of increases in money market accounts, savings accounts, and certificates of deposit. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased nine basis points to 1.85% during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 1.94% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, interest expense on interest-bearing deposits increased by $333 thousand, or 2.3%, to $14.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $14.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in interest expense on interest-bearing deposits for the six month period ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same prior year period represents the effect of higher average balances of interest bearing deposits. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by $116.5 million, or 8.0%, to $1.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $1.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily as a result of the increases in the average balances of certificates of deposit, money market accounts, and savings accounts. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 10 basis points to 1.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 1.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
We also expensed a level amount of approximately $231 thousand in interest expense for both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 related to the issuance in September 2020 of $20.0 million in outstanding subordinated notes, which carries an interest rate of 4.25%. In addition, we expensed $461 thousand in interest expense for both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024. These flat interest costs represent the debt service required as part of the 2020 subordinated notes.
The interest expense related to borrowings in the second quarter of 2025 decreased to $375 thousand at an average cost of 4.38% as compared to interest expense of $890 thousand at an average cost of 4.64% for the same period in 2024. The second quarter 2025 average FHLB and other borrowings decreased to $34.3 million compared to $76.9 million of average FHLB and other borrowings in the same quarter of 2024. The decrease in average borrowings was the direct result of paydowns driven by increased deposits during the current period. Management was able to replace higher cost FHLB borrowings with lower cost deposits and reduce interest expense during the current period. Although borrowings remain a potential source of strategic funding for the Company, the reduction in borrowings during the quarter reflects the ability of the Company to increase deposits and strategically reduce related interest costs.
The interest expense related to the FHLB and other borrowing for the first six months of 2025 decreased to $1.3 million as compared to $3.1 million for the first six months of 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, average FHLB and other borrowings decreased to $59.5 million with an average cost of 4.42% compared to $122.2 million of average FHLB and other borrowings with an average cost of 5.15% for the same period in 2024. The decrease in average borrowings was the direct result of paydowns driven by increased deposits during the current period.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $1.0 million, or 4.2%, to $25.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $24.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to the increase in income from average interest earning assets and the reduction of interest costs associated with interest bearing liabilities. Net interest rate spread increased by 2 basis points to
46
3.43% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 3.41% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, reflecting a 16 basis points decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets offset by an 18 basis points decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin was reduced by four basis points to 4.06% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 4.10% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to tightening associated with the lower interest rate environment as well as the impact of managed funding and deposit costs during the period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net interest income increased $3.1 million, or 6.7%, to $48.8 million from $45.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to an increase in net interest margin combined with increased average interest earning assets for the current period. The net interest margin increased 13 basis points to 4.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from 3.87% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Net interest rate spread grew by 21 basis points to 3.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from 3.15% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Provision for Credit Losses. The Company recognized a provision for credit losses of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decreased provision for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 reflected lower levels of specific reserves associated with certain loans during the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the second quarter of 2024 offset by loan portfolio growth during the current period. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.48% as of June 30, 2025, an increase of four basis points, or 2.8%, versus 1.44% as of December 31, 2024.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the provision for credit losses totaled $2.3 million as compared to $570 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The provision for the six months ended June 30, 2025 represented the effect of lower levels of specific reserves associated with certain loans during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 offset by loan portfolio growth during the current period, while the provision for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included the recognition of a $1.9 million recovery associated with the 2023 write off of the Signature Bank subordinated debt in the amount of $5.0 million made during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as well as the additional provision related to a nonaccrual commercial real estate loan participation identified during the second quarter of 2024.

Noninterest income increased by $3.5 million, or 92.2%, reaching $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Our Wealth Management division revenues, which include our Trust and Asset Management businesses also experienced growth and represented a 14.8% increase quarter-over-quarter, to $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2025 as compared to $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2024 as a result of continued growth in asset values during the current period. During the same period, assets-under-management increased to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2025 from $1.7 billion at June 30, 2024. Additionally, the second quarter of 2025 included the recognition of a $1.2 million gain associated with the sale of a branch location and approximately $2.4 million of income associated with BOLI payments related to death benefit proceeds offset by a loss of $727 thousand recorded on the sale of certain securities to reposition a portion of the investment portfolio and replace with higher yielding securities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, noninterest income increased by $4.2 million, or 55.8%, to $11.7 million as compared to $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our Wealth Management division revenues increased and represented a 16.9% increase reaching $6.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2025 from $5.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2024 as a result of continued growth in asset values and related fees during the current period. The six months ended June 30, 2025 also included the impact associated with the branch location sale, the BOLI proceeds, and the investment portfolio repositioning as described above.

Non-interest expense was $16.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, reflecting an increase of approximately $1.3 million, or 8.2%, as compared to $15.5 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in non-interest expense for the current three-month period was due primarily to continued investment in overall Company growth, computer software expense, professional fees, and occupancy expense. Our efficiency ratio was 51.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, from 55.5% for the same period in 2024.
Non-interest expense was $33.3 million for the first half of 2025, reflecting an increase of approximately $2.5 million, or 8.0%, as compared to $30.8 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in non-interest expense for the current six month period was also due to continued investment in overall Company growth, primarily, increases in salaries and benefits, computer software expense, occupancy expense, and professional fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our efficiency ratio was 55.0% as compared to 57.9% for the same period in 2024.
Provision for Income Tax. Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $3.1 million, compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2024. The increase for the current period was due to higher income before income taxes during the quarter. Our effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 was 23.0%, as compared to 19.7% for the same period in 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our provision for income taxes was $5.7 million, as compared to $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase for the current period was due to the increase in income before income taxes during the current six month period. Our effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 was 23.0%, as compared to 19.9% for the same period in 2024. The growth of the effective tax rates for the 2025 second quarter and six month periods was due to a reclassification of state tax expense and the increase in proportion of pre-tax income compared with non-taxable revenue (tax-exempt interest income and earnings on bank owned life insurance) during 2025 as compared to 2024.
Financial Position and Results of Operations of our Wealth Management Business Segment

The market value of assets under management and/or administration at June 30, 2025 was $1.8 billion as compared to $1.7 billion at June 30, 2024. This includes assets held at both Orange Bank & Trust Company and HVIA at June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Our income related to our wealth management business segment, which we record as noninterest income, increased $437 thousand or 14.8%, to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was mainly due to the impact of equity markets. Our income related to our wealth management business segment increased $990 thousand, or 16.9%, to $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was mainly due to the impact of equity markets.
Our expenses related to our wealth management business segment, which we record as noninterest expense, increased $72 thousand, or 3.2%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 remaining relatively level with the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in expenses was primarily due to continued growth of the business unit and continued investment in technology during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our expenses related to our wealth management business segment increased $250 thousand, or 5.7%, to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in expenses was primarily due to the growth and investment within the business unit and its related operations as well as costs associated with certain managed trust assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities and sales of securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
Our most liquid assets are cash and due from banks. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, cash and due from banks totaled $175.6 million and $150.3 million, respectively. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $410.8 million at June 30, 2025 and $443.8 million at December 31, 2024.
Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2025 totaled $134.1 million, or 93.0% of total certificates of deposit. The largest concentration of certificates of deposit at June 30, 2025 represented brokered deposits in the amount of $106.5 million for diversified funding purposes.
We participate in IntraFi Network, allowing us to provide access to multi-million-dollar FDIC deposit insurance protection on deposits for customers, businesses and public entities. We can elect to sell or repurchase this funding as reciprocal deposits from other IntraFi Network banks depending on our funding needs. At June 30, 2025, we had a total of $90.4 million of IntraFi Network deposits, all of which were repurchased as reciprocal deposits from the IntraFi Network.
Although customer deposits remain our preferred source of funds, maintaining back up sources of liquidity is part of our prudent liquidity risk management practices. We have the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as well as other correspondent banks. At June 30, 2025, we had a total capacity of $628.2 million at the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, of which $76.4 million was used to collateralize municipal deposits, and $10.0 million was utilized for long-term advances. At June 30, 2025, we also held $74.3 million of collateral at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York which could be utilized to provide additional funding through the discount window. We also maintain additional borrowing capacity of $20.0 million of discretionary lines of credit with correspondent banks at June 30, 2025 with no outstanding balance. We also have a borrowing agreement with Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”) to provide short-term borrowings of $5.0 million at June 30, 2025. There were no outstanding borrowings with ACBB at June 30, 2025.
Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $114 thousand and $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net cash used by investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of securities, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from the sale of securities and proceeds from maturing securities and pay downs on securities, was $46.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and net cash from investing activities was $47.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting of activity in deposit accounts and borrowings, was $71.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and net cash used by financing activities was $16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
We remain committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor and evaluate our liquidity position daily. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Based on our deposit growth and retention, current pricing strategy and regulatory restrictions, we have the ability to retain and increase a substantial portion of maturing time deposits, and we can supplement our funding with borrowings in the event that we allow these deposits to run off at maturity.
Capital Resources. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FRB and the NYSDFS. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements, and were considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. See Note 10 to the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for actual and required capital amounts and ratios at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, which
50
involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.
At June 30, 2025, we had $417.7 million in loan commitments outstanding. We also had $17.3 million in standby letters of credit at June 30, 2025.
Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements and related financial data included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than do general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Management of Market Risk
General. The principal objective of our asset and liability management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk within the balance sheet and pursue a controlled assumption of interest rate risk while maximizing net income and preserving adequate levels of liquidity and capital. The board of directors of our Bank has oversight of our asset and liability management function, which is managed by our Asset/Liability Management Committee and our Finance Committee. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee meets regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of our assets and liabilities to market interest rate changes, local and national market conditions and market interest rates. That group also reviews our liquidity, capital, deposit mix, loan mix and investment positions. As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities, and the fair value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those that have a short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income.
We manage our exposure to interest rates primarily by structuring our balance sheet in the ordinary course of business. We do not typically enter into derivative contracts for the purpose of managing interest rate risk, but we may do so in the future. Based upon the nature of our operations, we are not subject to foreign exchange or commodity price risk. We do not own any trading assets.
Net Interest Income Simulation. We use an interest rate risk simulation model to test the interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and the balance sheet. Instantaneous parallel rate shift scenarios are modeled and utilized to evaluate risk and establish exposure limits for acceptable changes in net interest margin. These scenarios, known as rate shocks, simulate an instantaneous change in interest rates and use various assumptions, including, but not limited to, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment and replacement of asset and liability cash flows.
51
The following table presents the estimated changes in our net interest income, calculated on a bank-only basis, which would result from changes in market interest rates over a twelve month period as of June 30, 2025.

This analysis assumes an instantaneous and parallel rate shock across the entire yield curve for the scenarios indicated.
Economic Value of Equity Simulation. We also analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through an economic value of equity ("EVE") model. EVE represents the present value of the expected cash flows from our assets less the present value of the expected cash flows arising from our liabilities adjusted for the value of off-balance sheet contracts. EVE attempts to quantify our economic value using a discounted cash flow methodology. We estimate what our EVE would be as of a specific date. We then calculate what EVE would be as of the same date throughout a series of interest rate scenarios representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve. We currently calculate EVE under the assumptions that interest rates increase 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points from current market rates, and under the assumption that interest rates decrease 100 basis points from current market rates.
The following table presents the estimated changes in our EVE, calculated on a bank-only basis, that would result from changes in market interest rates as of June 30, 2025.

Note: This analysis assumes an instantaneous and parallel rate shock across the entire yield curve for the scenarios indicated.
Many assumptions are used to calculate the impact of interest rate fluctuations. Actual results may be significantly different than our projections due to several factors, including the timing and frequency of rate changes, market conditions and the shape of the yield curve. The computations of interest rate risk shown above do not include actions that our management may undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates, and actual results may also differ due to any actions taken in response to the changing rates.
52
Credit Risk
The Company manages credit risk consistent with state and federal laws governing the making of loans through written policies and procedures; loan review to identify loan problems at the earliest possible time; collection procedures (including subsequent to a loan being charged off); an adequate allowance for credit losses; and continuing education and training to ensure lending expertise. Diversification by loan product is maintained through offering commercial loans, 1-4 family mortgages, and a full range of consumer loans.
The Company monitors its loan portfolio prudently. The Director’s Loan Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is designated to receive required loan reports, oversee loan policy, and approve loans above authorized individual and Management Loan Committee lending limits. The Management Loan Committee, consisting of the President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Credit Officer, Chief Risk Officer, Chief Loan Officer, EVP-Strategic Lending, and the SVP-Commercial Lending, implements the Board-approved loan policy.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
An Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025 the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations are operating in an effective manner.
Internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
As of June 30, 2025, the Company is not currently a named party in a legal proceeding, the outcome of which would have an adverse material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
