NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CHANGES IN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies followed in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual financial information. The interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair statement of results for the interim period presented. Results for the period ended June 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2027. These interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in Central Plains Bancshares, Inc.’s (the “Company”) annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026. The Company’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, Home Federal Savings and Loan Association of Grand Island (the “Association”), conducts substantially all of the Company’s banking operations. Unless otherwise indicated, dollar amounts in the tables contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are in thousands.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and follow general practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Future changes in information may affect these estimates, assumptions, and judgments, which, in turn, may affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.

Changes in Significant Accounting Policies

Significant accounting policies are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes and, in this discussion, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the consolidated financial statements and how those values are determined. During the first quarter ending June 30, 2026, the Company had no changes to significant accounting policies or estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2025-01 – On January 6, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. ASU 2025-01 clarifies the effective dates established by ASU 2024-03. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance; however, it does not expect adoption to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of issuance of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. No significant subsequent events have occurred through this date requiring adjustment to the financial statements or disclosures.

The unrealized losses at June 30, 2026 are related to mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds. Government-sponsored enterprises, such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or the Federal National Mortgage Association, have an implied guarantee by the U.S. government. At June 30, 2026, all the mortgage-backed securities held by the Association were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the mortgage-backed securities. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

Unrealized losses on municipal bonds have not been recognized into income because the issuers’ bonds are high credit quality, the Association does not intend to sell, and it is more likely than not, that the Association will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The issuers continue to make timely principal and interest payments on the bonds. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach maturity.

No credit losses were determined to be present as of June 30, 2026, as there was no credit quality deterioration noted. Therefore, no provision for credit losses on securities was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

At June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, investment securities with amortized cost of $23.4 million, and $22.5 million, respectively, and estimated fair value of $22.0 million and $21.2 million, respectively, were pledged to secure public, consumer, and commercial deposits.

The amortized cost and fair values of available for sale investment securities as of June 30, 2026 by contractual maturity, are shown below:


	Available for Sale
	Amortized Cost		Fair Value
Maturity	(Dollars in thousands)
Due less than one year	$	2,009	$	1,978
Due after one year through five years		1,436		1,361
Due after five years through ten years		2,842		2,355
Due after ten years		2,337		1,866
Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations		58,469		55,905
Total	$	67,093	$	63,465

The Association had no sales of available for sale investment securities for the three months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025.

Credit Risk—The Association monitors the credit risk within the loan portfolio by assessing the strength of the borrower’s repayment capacity and the probability of default. The Association first assesses the paying capacity of the borrower; then, it analyzes the sound worth of any pledged collateral or guarantees. In estimating the allowance for credit losses management also uses a quarterly Loan Concentration Report to monitor any concentrations that may develop in any specific category of the loan portfolio. It identifies four varying degrees of credit worthiness:

•

Pass Loans: Loans in the pass category are loans that do not raise Association concerns.

•

Special Mention Loans: Loans in this category may have a potential for weakness which, if not corrected, could weaken the asset and increase the risk in the future. By classifying a loan as Special Mention the Association can give the loan the attention needed to remedy any credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses.

•

Substandard Loans: Loans identified as Substandard are assets that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans in this classification category must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Association will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. If a loan is classified as Substandard, a determination based upon objective evidence must be made as to any specific or general valuation allowance within the guidelines of generally accepted accounting principles.

•

Doubtful Loans: Loans in this category have all the weaknesses inherent in Substandard loans 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. If a loan is classified as Doubtful, a determination based upon objective evidence must be made as to any specific or general valuation allowance within the guidelines of generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 6 - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

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

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Association to maintain minimum amounts and ratios as set forth in the following tables of tangible, core, and total risk-based capital. To be considered well-capitalized

Table of Contents

under the regulatory framework for Prompt Corrective Action provisions, the Association must maintain minimum Tier I leverage, Tier I risk- based, common equity Tier 1, and total risk-based capital ratios (as defined) as set forth in the following tables.

As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the Association was well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Association must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the tables. There are no conditions or events since June 30, 2026, that management believes have changed the Association’s category.

The Association’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, are also presented in the table below:

Note 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Association is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers including commitments to extend credit and lines or letters of credit and commitments to sell to investors loans held for sale. The Association uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

At June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the Association had approved outstanding loan origination commitments of $3.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively. Loan commitments, which are funded subject to certain limitations, extend over various periods of time and may expire without being drawn upon. Generally, unused commitments are canceled upon expiration of the commitment term as outlined in each individual contract. All outstanding loan origination commitments were subject to forward sales commitments to various entities. Also, at June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the Association has committed unused lines of credit, equity lines, loans in process and letters of credit to consumers totaling $54.0 million and $48.4 million, respectively. The Association evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on an individual basis and determines collateral requirements based on this evaluation. Collateral securing these commitments varies by product and borrower and may include residential and commercial real estate, agricultural real estate, inventory, equipment, accounts receivable, and other business and personal assets.

Various legal claims also arise from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of management, will have no material effect on the Association’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 8 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Association measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with GAAP, which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the instrument’s fair value measurement. The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data of substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability for which there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. The inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include the Association’s own financial data such as internally developed pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the fair value determination requires significant management judgment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—Financial instruments are classified within the fair value hierarchy using the methodologies described above. The following disclosures include financial instruments that are not carried at fair value on the consolidated statements of financial condition. The calculation of estimated fair values is based on market conditions at a specific point in time and may not reflect current or future fair values.

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

Available-for-Sale Securities

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

The Association’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are classified within Level 2 because they are valued based on market prices for similar assets. The Association does not have any other assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 or March 31, 2026.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying statements of financial condition, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. For assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value is described below.

Individually Evaluated Loans

Certain loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans are evaluated individually in accordance with ASC 326. For collateral-dependent loans, expected credit losses are measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell when repayment is expected substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. Such loans may be measured on a nonrecurring basis when the fair value of collateral is utilized in determining the amount of expected credit losses.

Fair value is generally based on recent real estate appraisals, which may incorporate a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches, including the comparable sales method and the income approach. Independent appraisers routinely make adjustments to account for differences between the subject property and comparable sales or income data; such adjustments are often significant and result in a Level 3 classification of inputs used to determine fair value.

For loans collateralized by non-real estate assets, fair value may be determined using collateral appraisals, net book value information from the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports. These values are adjusted or discounted, as appropriate, based on management’s assessment of historical experience, current market conditions, and the specific characteristics of the borrower and the underlying collateral. These inputs are also considered Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Collateral-dependent loans are reviewed at least monthly to assess changes in the fair value of the underlying collateral and the adequacy of the related allowance for credit losses. When updated collateral information indicates a change in expected credit losses, the allowance is adjusted accordingly.

Due to the subjective nature of these valuations and the use of significant unobservable inputs, the disclosure of a range of such inputs is not considered meaningful.

Other Real Estate Owned (ORE)

Other real estate owned (“ORE”) is comprised of properties acquired through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans and is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. ORE is measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at the time of transfer and subsequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Fair value is generally based on current real estate appraisals or evaluations, which may utilize the comparable sales approach, income approach, or a combination thereof. Independent appraisers commonly adjust valuation inputs to reflect differences between the subject property and comparable market transactions or income assumptions. These adjustments can be significant and result in a Level 3 classification within the fair value hierarchy.

Management also considers recent sales activity, listing prices, broker opinions of value, and other market data, as well as

Table of Contents

estimated costs to sell, in determining fair value. When appropriate, management applies additional discounts to reflect current market conditions, time-to-sell expectations, and the condition of the property.

ORE properties are periodically evaluated, and their carrying values are adjusted as necessary to reflect changes in market conditions or updated valuation information. Any write-downs are recorded as a charge to earnings.

Due to the subjective nature of these valuations and the use of significant unobservable inputs, disclosure of a range of such inputs is not considered meaningful.

Note 9 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

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

Shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") that have not been allocated to employees in accordance with the terms of the ESOP, referred to as "unallocated ESOP shares", are not deemed outstanding for EPS calculations.

Note 10 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

ESOP

Employees participate in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). The ESOP borrowed funds from the Company to purchase 330,465 shares of stock at $10 per share. The Association makes discretionary contributions to the ESOP and the ESOP uses funds it receives to repay the loan. When loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to participants based on relative compensation. Participants receive the shares at the end of employment.

There were no contributions to the ESOP during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, as the annual loan payment is made in December. The ESOP compensation expense for three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $59,000 and $49,000, respectively.

Shares held by the ESOP were as follows:


	As of June 30,

Fair value of unearned shares as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively	$	5,408	$	4,497

Table of Contents

Fair value of unearned shares is based on a stock price of $19.03 and $15.12 as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Equity Incentive plan

At the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on November 26, 2024, stockholders approved the Central Plains Bancshares, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (“2024 Equity Plan”), which provides for the granting of up to 578,313 shares (165,232 shares of restricted stock and 413,081 stock options) of the Company’s common stock pursuant to equity awards made under the 2024 Equity Plan.

Stock options granted under the 2024 Equity Plan generally vest in equal annual installments over a service period of five years beginning one year from the date of grant. The vesting of the options accelerates upon death, disability or an involuntary termination at or following a change in control of the Company. Stock options are generally granted at an exercise price equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, and have an expiration period of ten years. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has 93,157 stock options available for future grants under the 2024 Equity Plan.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair values of these awards, which have graded vesting, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Upon exercise of vested options, management expects to first draw on retired stock as the source for shares.

The following is a summary of the Company's stock option activity and related information for the periods presented.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, the difference between the Company's closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options.

Expected future expense relating to the non-vested options outstanding as of June 30, 2026, is $1.3 million over a weighted average period of 3.5 years.

Restricted shares granted under the 2024 Equity Plan generally vest in equal annual installments over a service period of five years beginning one year from the date of grant. The vesting of the awards accelerates upon death, disability or an involuntary termination at or following a change in control of the Company. The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date closing market price of the Company’s common stock determines the fair value of restricted shares under the 2024 Equity Plan. Management recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company has 28,367 shares of restricted stock available for future grants under the 2024 Equity Plan.

The following is a summary of the status of the Company's restricted shares as of and for the periods presented.

Note 11 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's revenue is primarily derived from the business of banking. The Company's financial performance is monitored on consolidated basis by Mr. Dannel Garness, President and CEO, who is considered to be the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM").

All of the Company’s financial results are similar and considered by management to be aggregated into one reportable operating segment. While the Company has assigned certain management responsibilities by business-line, the Company’s CODM evaluates financial performance on a Company-wide basis. The Company's assigned business lines have similar economic characteristics, products, services and customers. Accordingly, all of the Company’s operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Financial performance is reported to the CODM monthly, and the primary measure of performance is consolidated net income. The allocation of resources throughout the Company is determined annually based upon consolidated net income performance. The presentation of financial performance to the CODM is consistent with amounts and financial statement line items shown in the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition and consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the Company's significant expenses are adequately segmented by category and amount in the consolidated statements of operations to include all significant items when considering both qualitative and quantitative factors. Significant expenses of the Company include salaries and employee benefits, equipment and occupancy expense, data processing, professional services and advertising.

Critical Accounting Policies

Of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, we have identified certain items as critical accounting policies based on the associated estimates, assumptions, judgments and complexity. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2026.

Certain of these accounting policies require management to use significant judgment and estimates, which can have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. We consider these policies to be our critical accounting estimates.

The estimates and assumptions that we use are based on historical experience, future forecasts and various other factors and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

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. Actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates under different conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying values of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups ("JOBS") Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026


	At June 30, 2026		At March 31, 2026
	(Dollars in thousands)
Selected Consolidated Financial Condition Data:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	34,442	$	29,929

Total deposits		465,844		460,356
Total stockholders' equity		90,285		88,990

Total Assets. Total assets increased by $3.8 million, or 0.7%, to $562.4 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $558.6 million at March 31, 2026. The increase primarily reflects a $4.5 million, or 15.1%, increase in total cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $4.5 million, or 15.1%, to $34.4 million at June 30, 2026, from $29.9 million at March 31, 2026. This increase was primarily attributable to increased deposits.

Investment Securities Available for Sale. Securities available-for-sale increased $931,000, or 1.5%, to $63.5 million at June 30, 2026, from $62.5 million at March 31, 2026. During the three-month period, we purchased $3.4 million in securities and received $2.3 million in principal payments. Additionally, net unrealized losses on the securities portfolio increased by $205,000.

Gross Loans. Loans decreased $910,000, or 0.2%, to $447.4 million at June 30, 2026, from $448.3 million at March 31, 2026. We saw growth in two categories, real estate commercial and agriculture, but declines in the remainder. The largest increase occurred in commercial real estate loans, which rose $11.6 million, or 9.0%, to $140.8 million from $129.2 million. We have expanded our focus on higher yielding commercial lending, including both commercial real estate and commercial non-real estate loans, while also continuing to grow our agricultural real estate and operating loan portfolios. This strategic emphasis reflects our commitment to diversifying our loan mix and supporting the credit needs of businesses and agricultural producers within our market area. Management continues to look for high-quality loans to add to its portfolio and will continue to emphasize loan originations to the extent that it is profitable, prudent and consistent with our interest rate risk strategies.

Premises and Equipment, Net. Premises and equipment decreased $223,000, or 1.7%, to $12.5 million at June 30, 2026, from $12.7 million at March 31, 2026. The decrease reflects depreciation of premises and equipment.

Total Deposits. Total deposits increased $5.4 million, or 1.2%, to $465.8 million at June 30, 2026, from $460.4 million at March 31, 2026. Management believes this demonstrates customer confidence as well as the strength and loyalty of the Association's core deposit base. Additionally, the Association maintained $27.6 million in brokered time deposits, at June 30, 2026, and March 31, 2026. Management continues to actively monitor deposit balances and interest rates to maintain adequate liquidity.

Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $3.3 million, or 5.1%, to $67.8 million, while time deposits increased $1.5 million, or 0.9%, to $164.5 million, including brokered deposits. Savings, demand, NOW, and money market accounts combined increased $763,000, or 0.3%, to $233.6 million at June 30, 2026.

Borrowings. The Company had no outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2026, and March 31, 2026. Borrowings have been limited in recent periods, as the Association has generally utilized deposits to fund operations and loan growth. Management remains prepared to access FHLB and FRB advances if necessary to support additional loan funding.

Stockholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity increased $1.3 million, or 1.5% to $90.3 million at June 30, 2026, from $89.0 million at March 31, 2026. The increase was primarily driven by net income of $1.5 million, offset by $163,000 increase in unrealized losses on securities valuations, net of tax, and by share repurchases under the Company's stock repurchase program. The increase in the unrealized losses reflects changes in market interest rates during the three-month period ended June 30, 2026.

On October 22, 2024, the Company adopted a program to repurchase up to 200,000 shares, or 5%, of its then outstanding common stock. The program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time based on market conditions, repurchase costs, alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025

General. Net income was $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $988,000 for the same period in 2025.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $1.1 million, or 16.8%, to $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $6.6 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher yields on interest-earning assets, loan growth, and larger average balance of federal funds sold.

Interest income on loans increased $963,000, or 16.3%, to $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $5.9 million for the same period in 2025. The average balance of loans rose $39.3 million, or 9.7%, to $442.9 million from $403.6 million. Yield on loans increased 35 basis points to 6.20% from 5.85%, reflecting new loan pricing and the repricing of existing loans.

Interest income on securities increased $8,000, or 1.4%, to $592,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $584,000 for the same period in 2025, due to the average balance of securities increasing from $60.8 million to $63.3 million.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $365,000, or 17.5%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher average balances on interest bearing deposits.

Interest expense on deposits increased $367,000, or 17.6%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was driven by higher average balances and higher costs of funds across all interest-bearing accounts.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for credit losses increased $740,000, or 16.5%, to $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2025.

Our interest rate spread increased 17 basis points to 3.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 3.05% for the same period in 2025. Our net interest margin increased 20 basis points to 3.95% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 3.75% for the same period in 2025.

Provision for Credit Losses. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $51,000. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a reversal of provision for credit losses of $3,000.

We will continue to evaluate the estimated future credit loss impact of current market conditions, which will depend on credit quality, macroeconomic forecasts, and the composition of our loan and securities portfolios.

Non-interest expense increased $55,000, or 1.4% to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $3.9 million for the same period in 2025. The largest increase in non-interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2026 was in salaries and employee benefits, which rose $141,000, or 6.7%, to $2.2 million, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2025. This increase was primarily due to higher staffing levels and costs associated with the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $49,000, or 15.4%, to $367,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $318,000 for the same period in 2025. This increase is due to maintenance, utilities, and depreciation related to new branches in Hastings and Lincoln.

The largest decrease in non-interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2026 was in data processing, which declined $165,000, or 33.0%, to $335,000, compared to $500,000 for the same period in 2025. This decrease was primarily due to adjusted pricing with our core provider.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $357,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $241,000 for the same period in 2025, resulting in effective tax rates of 19.3% and 19.6%, respectively.

Management of Market Risk

General. Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our financial condition and results of operations to changes in market interest rates. All directors participate in discussions during the regular board meetings evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, and the level of risk that is appropriate. These discussions take into consideration our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives consistent with the policy and guidelines approved by them.

Our asset/liability management strategy attempts to manage the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income, our primary source of earnings. Among the techniques we are using to manage interest rate risk are:

•

maintaining capital levels that exceed the thresholds for well-capitalized status under federal regulations;

•

maintaining adequate levels of liquidity;

•

selling longer-term, fixed-rate loans, subject to market conditions; and

•

continuing to diversify our loan portfolio by adding more commercial-related loans, which typically have shorter maturities and/or adjustable rates.

By following these strategies, we believe that we are better positioned to react to increases and decreases in market interest rates.

We have not engaged in hedging activities, such as engaging in futures or options. We do not anticipate entering into similar transactions in the future.

Net Interest Income Analysis. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through a third-party net interest income ("NII") model. NII is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. We estimate what our NII would be for a one-year period and then calculate what the NII would be for the same period under the assumptions that the United States Treasury yield curve increases or decreases gradually by up to 400 basis points. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in the interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the "Change in Interest Rates" column below.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth, at June 30, 2026, the calculation of the estimated changes in our NII that would result from the designated changes in the United States Treasury yield curve over a one-year period.

(1)

Assumes a gradual change in interest rates at all maturities over a one-year period.

The table above indicates that at June 30, 2026, we would have experienced a 0.98% increase in NII in the event of a gradual, one-year 200 basis point increase in market interest rates, and a 0.73% decrease in NII in the event of a gradual, one-year 200 basis point decrease in market interest rates.

Market Value of Equity. We also use a third-party model to compute amounts by which the net present value of our assets and liabilities (market value of equity or "MVE") would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. This model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach to measure the interest rate sensitivity of net portfolio value. The model estimates the economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance sheet contract under the assumptions that the United States Treasury yield curve increases or decreases instantaneously by up to 400 basis points.

The following table sets forth, at June 30, 2026, the calculation of the estimated changes in our MVE that would result from the designated immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve.

(1)

Assumes an immediate uniform change in interest rate at all maturities.

(2)

MVE is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts.

(3)

Present value of assets represents the discounted present value of incoming cash flows on interest-earning assets.

(4)

MVE Ratio represents MVE divided by the present value of assets.

The table above indicates that at June 30, 2026, we would have experienced a 3.57% increase in MVE in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in the market interest rates and a 11.39% decrease in MVE in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in market interest rates.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurement. Modeling changes in NII and MVE require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. For instance, the NII and MVE tables presented above assume that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. However, the shape of the yield curve changes constantly and the value and pricing of our assets and liabilities, including our deposits, may not closely correlate with changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, although the NII and MVE tables may

Table of Contents

provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time and in the context of a particular yield curve, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on NII and MVE and will differ from actual results.

NII and MVE calculations also may not reflect the fair values of financial instruments. For example, decreases in market interest rates can increase the fair values of our loans, deposits and borrowings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. Liquidity refers to our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to fund loan demand, repay maturing borrowings, meet deposit withdrawal requirements, and fund operating expenses. Our primary sources of funds include deposits; scheduled repayments of loans and investment securities, including interest payments; maturities and sales of loans and investment securities; borrowings from the FRB; advances from the FHLB; and cash flows generated from operations.

Our funding needs vary from period to period based on loan demand, deposit activity, and the level of amortization and prepayments on loans and investment securities. The use of borrowings from the FRB, FHLB advances, and other sources is influenced by loan originations, deposit inflows and outflows, and balance sheet management strategies designed to enhance net interest income.

While contractual maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investment securities are relatively predictable sources of liquidity, deposit flows and loan prepayments are influenced by market interest rates, general economic conditions, and competitive factors. Our most liquid assets consist of cash and short-term investments, the levels of which are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows from financing activities.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities resulted in a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $4.5 million, reflecting cash provided by financing activities of $4.9 million, offset by cash used in operating activities of $198,000, and cash used in investing activities of $152,000.

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $198,000, primarily due changes in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $2.6 million and accrued interest payable of $215,000, partially offset by net income of $1.5 million, depreciation of $225,000, changes in other assets of $495,000 and stock-based compensation of $189,000.

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $152,000, primarily due to the purchase of available-for-sale investment securities of $3.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from paydowns of available-for-sale investment securities of $2.3 million and net change in loans of $940,000.

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $4.9 million, primarily due to an increase in deposits of $5.5 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities resulted in a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $20.8 million, reflecting cash used in operating activities of $96,000, cash used in financing activities of $7.7 million, and cash used in investing activities of $13.0 million.

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $96,000, primarily due to a change of $1.5 million in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and a change of $333,000 in accrued interest payable, partially offset by net income of $1.0 million, depreciation of $195,000, stock-based compensation of $185,000 and changes of other assets of $193,000.

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $13.0 million, primarily due to a net increase in loans of $11.0 million and the purchase of available-for-sale investment securities of $3.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from paydowns of available-for-sale investment securities of $2.1 million.

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $7.7 million, primarily due to a decrease in deposits of $15.6 million, partially offset by proceeds from short-term FHLB advances of $8.0 million.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be retained.

At June 30, 2026, Home Federal Savings was categorized as well-capitalized for bank regulatory purposes. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change our category.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and related data presented in this Quarterly Report have been prepared according to GAAP which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes 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 does inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Concentration - Commercial Real Estate

Our market areas have experienced strong population and job growth, contributing to favorable economic conditions for generating new commercial loans. We target new commercial real estate loan originations to experienced, growing small- and mid-size owners and investors in our market area. Our commercial real estate loans are secured by owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied properties, including medical practices, insurance offices, warehouses, single- and multi-tenant retail and hotels. Our commercial residential real estate loans are secured by properties located within our primary market area, or we generally participate with a Nebraska-based bank for loans outside of our primary market area. Generally, our commercial real estate loans have terms and amortization periods up to 20 years with options for balloon payments and interest rate adjustments to occur every five years. The interest rate is fixed for the initial term (five years or less) and then adjusts again at the end of the next period matching the initial term or as negotiated at the end of the first term. Commercial real estate loans generally have terms and amortization periods up to 20 years. We generally limit the loan-to-value ratios of our commercial real estate loans to 75% of the purchase price or appraised value, whichever is lower.

We consider a number of factors in originating commercial real estate loans. We evaluate the qualifications and financial condition of the borrower, including credit history, profitability and expertise, as well as the value and condition of the property securing the loan. When evaluating the qualifications of the borrower, we consider the financial resources of the borrower, the borrower’s experience in owning or managing similar property and the borrower’s payment history with us and other financial institutions. In evaluating the property securing the loan, the factors we consider include the net operating income of the mortgaged property before debt service and depreciation, the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value of the mortgaged property, and the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of net operating income to debt service). Generally, the debt service coverage ratio on these loans is at least 1.20x. A significant majority of our commercial real estate loans are appraised by outside independent appraisers approved by the board of directors. Personal guarantees are generally obtained from the principals of commercial real estate borrowers.
