Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Magnolia Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, general practices within the financial services industry, and instructions for Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information or footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Mutual Savings and Loan Association (the “Association”) and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

Certain amounts classified within noninterest expense categories in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications within noninterest expense categories had no effect on previously reported equity or net income.

 

Description of Business

 

The Company is a holding company for Mutual Savings and Loan Association. Mutual Savings and Loan Association was formed in 1885. The Association provides financial services primarily to individuals, mainly through the origination of loans for one- to four-family residences through its two branches located in the metropolitan New Orleans area. During 2007, the Association became a federally chartered savings and loan association. The Association also accepts deposits in the form of passbook savings, certificates of deposit and NOW accounts.

 

The Company was incorporated as a Louisiana corporation in May 2024 in connection with the Association’s conversion from mutual to stock form. On January 14, 2025, the Association completed its conversion from a mutual savings and loan association to a stock savings and loan association and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnolia Bancorp. Prior to completion of the conversion, Magnolia Bancorp did not engage in any active business. Magnolia Bancorp issued 833,750 shares of its common stock in subscription and community offerings for $10.00 per share, including 66,700 shares purchased by its ESOP. The funds received in the subscription and community offerings were initially held in a deposit account at the Association, which resulted in a temporary increase in the Association’s total deposits as of December 31, 2024. In connection with the completion of the conversion, $7.7 million on deposit at the Association was used to purchase shares of common stock of Magnolia Bancorp (with the remaining shares purchased with a loan to the ESOP), and an additional $1.4 million of deposits were refunded to purchasers in the over-subscribed community offering. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $6.9 million, and Magnolia Bancorp used 50% of the net proceeds to purchase all of the Association’s newly issued common stock.

 

Upon completion of the conversion, Magnolia Bancorp made a loan to the ESOP in the amount of $667,000, which the ESOP used to purchase 66,700 shares of common stock of Magnolia Bancorp. It is anticipated that contributions will be made to the ESOP in amounts necessary to amortize the debt to Magnolia Bancorp over a period of 30 years. Employees who have worked at least 1,000 hours in the first year of employment and who have attained at least the age of 21 are eligible to participate in the ESOP. The leveraged ESOP is accounted for in accordance with the guidance under ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718, unearned ESOP shares are not considered outstanding for financial reporting purposes and are shown as a reduction of stockholders’ equity as ESOP unearned compensation. The Company recognizes compensation cost equal to the fair value of the ESOP shares during the periods in which they are committed to be released. To the extent that the fair value of the ESOP shares differs from the cost of such shares, the differential is an adjustment to additional paid in capital within stockholders’ equity. The Company will receive a tax deduction equal to the cost of the shares released. As the loan is internally leveraged, the loan receivable from the ESOP to Magnolia Bancorp will not be reported as an asset nor will the debt of the ESOP be shown as a liability.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and include appropriate estimated provisions.

 

There were no material changes or developments during the reporting period with respect to methodologies that the Company uses when applying what management believes are critical accounting policies and developing critical accounting estimates as previously disclosed in its Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. The amendments in this ASU add specific requirements for income tax disclosures to improve transparency and decision usefulness by requiring additional categories of information about federal, state, and foreign income taxes to be included in the rate reconciliation and by requiring more detail to be disclosed on certain reconciling item categories that meet a quantitative threshold. Additionally, the amendment requires all entities to annually disclose disaggregated information about income taxes paid using specific quantitative thresholds and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Entities should apply the amendments on a prospective basis and retrospective application is permitted. As the update contains only amendments to disclosure requirements, adoption will have no impact to the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40),” to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The amendments in this update require disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to consolidated financial statements. Disclosure requirements also include a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, among other items. An entity is not precluded from providing additional voluntary disclosures that may provide investors with additional decision-useful information. This update, as amended, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this update, or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the provisions of this guidance. As the update contains only amendments to disclosure requirements, adoption will have no impact to the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
