●

changes in the level of government support of housing finance;

●

our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

●

changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including the Dodd-Frank Act and the JOBS Act, which could result in, among other things, increased deposit insurance premiums and assessments, capital requirements, regulatory fees and compliance costs, particularly the new capital regulations, and the resources we have available to address such changes;

BUSINESS OF EUREKA HOMESTEAD BANCORP

Eureka Homestead Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Maryland on February 25, 2019 as part of the mutual-to-stock conversion of Eureka Homestead (sometimes referred to as the “Bank”), for the purpose of becoming the savings and loan holding company of Eureka Homestead. Since being incorporated, other than holding the common stock of Eureka Homestead, retaining approximately 50% of the net cash proceeds of the stock conversion offering and making a loan to the employee stock ownership plan of Eureka Homestead, we have not engaged in any business activities to date.

The Company is authorized to pursue business activities permitted by applicable laws and regulations, which may include the acquisition of banking and financial services companies. See “Supervision and Regulation – Holding Company Regulation” for a discussion of the activities that are permitted for savings and loan holding companies. We may also borrow funds for reinvestment in Eureka Homestead.

Our cash flow depends on earnings from the investment of the net proceeds we retained from our initial public stock offering that was consummated in July 2019, and any dividends we receive from Eureka Homestead. We neither own nor lease any property, but pay a fee to Eureka Homestead for the use of its premises, equipment and furniture. At the present time, we employ only persons who are officers of Eureka Homestead who also serve as officers of Eureka Homestead Bancorp. We use the support staff of Eureka Homestead from time to time and pay a fee to Eureka Homestead for the time devoted to Eureka Homestead Bancorp by employees of Eureka Homestead. However, these persons are not separately compensated by Eureka Homestead Bancorp. Eureka Homestead Bancorp may hire additional employees, as appropriate, to the extent it expands its business in the future.

BUSINESS OF EUREKA HOMESTEAD

General

We conduct our business from our main office in Metairie, Louisiana, which is located in Jefferson Parish, within the metropolitan area of New Orleans, and our loan production office located in New Orleans. Our loan portfolio consists primarily of loans collateralized by real property located in Jefferson Parish and Orleans Parish, Louisiana. We also originate loans in other parts of the greater New Orleans metropolitan area and, to a lesser extent, elsewhere in Louisiana and Mississippi.

Our business consists primarily of taking deposits and securing borrowings and investing those funds, together with funds generated from operations, in one- to four-family residential real estate loans, including non-owner-occupied properties, construction loans for owner-occupied, one- to four-family residential real estate and home equity loans. To a lesser extent, we also originate multifamily, commercial real estate and consumer loans. At December 31, 2021, $70.9 million, or 94.0% of our total loan portfolio, was comprised of one- to four-family residential real estate loans, $8.5 million of which were non-owner-occupied loans, $4.6 million of which were construction loans and $410,000 of which were home equity loans.

A significant majority of loans we originate are conforming one- to four-family residential real estate loans and, in the low interest rate environment in recent years, almost all of these loans have been long-term,

Table of Contents

fixed-rate loans. In order to manage our interest rate risk, in recent years we have sold a significant portion of these conforming, fixed-rate, long-term production on an industry-standard, servicing-released basis.

We offer a variety of deposit accounts, including savings accounts (passbook and money market) and certificates of deposit. We utilize advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (“FHLB”) for funding and asset/liability management purposes. At December 31, 2021, we had $18.2 million in advances outstanding with the FHLB.

We do not offer checking accounts which may impact our ability to attract and grow core deposits. We have always been dependent, in part, on retail certificates of deposit as a funding source for our loans, and we accept jumbo certificates of deposit through an online service, as well as municipal and brokered certificates of deposit. We have used these non-retail funding sources, as well as advances from the FHLB, to fund our operations. These non-core funding sources are not relationship-based accounts and are generally more price-sensitive than our core deposits of savings and money market accounts and our retail certificates of deposit. Therefore, these deposits carry a greater risk of non-renewal than our core deposits. Pursuant to our business strategy, we are seeking to increase our core deposits, which we consider to be our savings and money market accounts and retail certificates of deposit, by more aggressively marketing and pricing our deposit products.

Eureka Homestead is subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by its primary federal regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”).

Our main office is located at 1922 Veterans Memorial Boulevard, Metairie, Louisiana 70005, and our telephone number at this address is (504) 834-0242. Our website address is www.eurekahomestead.com. Information on our website is not incorporated into this annual report and should not be considered part of this annual report.

Market Area

We conduct our business from our main office in Metairie, Louisiana, which is located in Jefferson Parish, within the greater metropolitan area of New Orleans, and our loan production office located in New Orleans. Our loan portfolio consists primarily of loans collateralized by real property located in Jefferson Parish and Orleans Parish, Louisiana. We also originate loans in other parts of the greater New Orleans metropolitan area and, to a lesser extent, elsewhere in Louisiana and Mississippi. Our business is dependent on the City of New Orleans and our local economy which includes tourism, port activity along the Mississippi River, the petrochemical industry and healthcare. Service jobs, primarily in healthcare, education and construction and development, represent the largest employment sector in Jefferson Parish.

According to the United States census, the estimated July 2020 population of Jefferson Parish was 441,000, representing an increase of 1.9% from the 2010 census population of 433,000. During this same time period, the population of the City of New Orleans is estimated to have grown by 11.7%, the Louisiana population grew by an estimated 2.7% and the United States population grew by an estimated 7.4%. In 2020, the median household income for Jefferson Parish was $56,000, compared to median household incomes of $46,000, $51,000 and $66,000 for the City of New Orleans, the State of Louisiana and for the United States, respectively.

Competition

We face significant competition within our market area both in making loans and attracting retail deposits. Our market area has a concentration of financial institutions that include large money center and

Table of Contents

regional banks, community banks and credit unions. We also face significant competition from commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies and credit unions and, with respect to deposits, from money market funds, brokerage firms, mutual funds and insurance companies. As of June 30, 2021, based on the most recent available FDIC data, there were 22 FDIC-insured financial institutions with offices in Jefferson Parish, of which we ranked 17th, with a market share of deposits of 0.47%. We do not have a significant market share of either deposits or residential lending in any other parish in Louisiana.

Lending Activities

General. Our principal lending activity is originating one- to four-family residential real estate loans, including non-owner-occupied properties, construction loans for owner-occupied, one- to four-family residential real estate and home equity loans. To a lesser extent, we also originate multifamily, commercial real estate and consumer loans. Our loan portfolio consists primarily of loans collateralized by real property located in Jefferson Parish and Orleans Parish, Louisiana. We also originate loans in other parts of the greater New Orleans metropolitan area and, to a lesser extent, elsewhere in Louisiana and Mississippi.

We offer adjustable-rate and fixed-rate residential loans. However, historically a significant majority of the residential real estate loans which we have originated are conforming, long-term, fixed-rate loans. In recent years, in order to address and manage our interest rate risk, we have been selling a significant portion of our conforming, fixed-rate, long term (greater than 15 years) loans to the secondary market, on a servicing-released basis.

Commercial real estate and multifamily loans have not historically comprised a significant portion of our total loan portfolio. While we expect that one- to four-family residential real estate lending will continue to be the primary emphasis of our lending operations, we intend to modestly increase our emphasis on multifamily and commercial real estate loans through increased originations of and purchase of participations in these types of loans although, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these lines of business were minimal in 2021.

Portfolio Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. Our lending is subject to written, non-discriminatory underwriting standards and origination procedures. Decisions on loan applications are made on the basis of detailed applications submitted by the prospective borrower and property valuations. Our policies require that for all real estate loans that we originate, property valuations must be performed by outside independent state-licensed appraisers approved by our board of directors. The loan applications are designed primarily to determine the borrower’s ability to repay the requested loan, and the more significant items on the application are verified through use of credit reports, financial statements and tax returns. All loans that we originate require personal guarantees that are evaluated as part of the loan.

Pursuant to applicable law, the aggregate amount of loans that we are permitted to make to any one borrower or a group of related borrowers is generally limited to 15% of Eureka Homestead’s unimpaired capital and surplus (25% if the amount in excess of 15% is secured by “readily marketable collateral” or 30% for certain residential development loans). At December 31, 2021, our largest credit relationship consisted of one loan participation which totaled $1.48 million and was secured by one non-owner-occupied, commercial real estate property. Our second largest relationship at this date was for $1.16 million and was secured by one owner-occupied, one- to four-family residential real estate property. At December 31, 2021, these loans were performing in accordance with their repayment terms.

We have a Management Loan Committee and a Board Loan Committee. The Management Loan Committee is comprised of the Chief Executive Officer and the President/Chief Financial Officer and it considers loans/relationships up to $500,000. The Board Loan Committee is comprised of all directors and considers loans of $500,000 or more, or loans of any amount that will increase a borrower’s total relationship to $500,000 or more. All loans approved for portfolio are reviewed by the Board of Directors at its meetings.

Generally, we require property and extended coverage casualty insurance in amounts at least equal to the principal amount of the loan or the value of improvements on the property, depending on the type of loan. In addition, we require and escrow for flood insurance (where appropriate) and generally require an escrow for required property taxes and insurance. On occasion, we allow borrowers to pay their own taxes and property and casualty insurance as long as proof of payment is provided.

One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending. At December 31, 2021, $70.9 million, or 94.0% of our total loans, was secured by one- to four-family residential real estate. Of this total amount, $8.5 million, or 11.2% of our total loan portfolio, was secured by non-owner-occupied, one- to four-family residential real estate loans, $4.6 million, or 6.1% of our total loan portfolio, was secured by loans for the construction of owner-occupied, one- to four-family residential real estate and $410,000, or 0.5% of our total loan portfolio, was secured by home equity loans.

Table of Contents

We originate both fixed- and adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans, and at December 31, 2021, these types of loans were comprised of 92.1% of fixed-rate loans and 7.9% of adjustable-rate loans.

We generally limit the loan-to-value ratios of our owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied, one- to four-family residential real estate loans to 80% of the purchase price or appraised value, whichever is lower. In addition, we may make owner-occupied one- to four-family residential real estate loans with loan-to-value ratios above 80% of the purchase price or appraised value, whichever is less. We may or may not require private mortgage insurance for those loans.

We originate one- to four-family residential real estate loans for retention in our portfolio as well as for sale in the secondary market. Loans originated for sale are underwritten according to Fannie Mae guidelines, typically with terms of up to 30 years. We generally do not retain the servicing on loans we sell. Additionally, we originate non-conforming, one- to four-family residential real estate loans that we retain in our portfolio. These loans might be non-conforming as a result of the size of the loan, the loan to value of the appraised property securing the loan, or the debt to income ratio or the credit score of the borrower, or other non-conforming aspects of the credit. Loans that we retain in our portfolio have a maximum fixed-rate term of 30 years.

At December 31, 2021, most of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans, including $7.9 million of non-owner occupied loans, were secured by properties located in Jefferson or Orleans Parish. On a limited basis we have purchased one- to four-family residential real estate loans from outside of our market area.

Our adjustable-rate, one- to four-family residential real estate loans generally have fixed rates of interest for initial terms of three and five years and adjust annually thereafter. Generally, interest rates cannot increase more than 2% per year and 5% over the life of the loan. The interest rate is based on the weekly average yield on Unites States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of 1 year, as made available by the Federal Reserve Board plus a margin of 2.25%. Our adjustable-rate loans carry terms to maturity of up to 30 years.

Although adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans may reduce our vulnerability to changes in market interest rates because they periodically reprice, as interest rates increase, the required payments due from the borrower also increase (subject to rate caps), increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the ability of the borrower to repay the loan and the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustments of the contractual interest rate are also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents. As a result, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans in compensating for changes in market interest rates may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates.

Our residential construction loans generally have initial terms of 12 months (subject to extension), during which the borrower pays interest only. Upon completion of construction, these loans convert to conventional amortizing mortgage loans. We generally do not extend credit if construction has already commenced. Our residential construction loans have rates and terms comparable to residential real estate loans that we originate. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of our residential construction loans is generally 85% of the lesser of the appraised value of the completed property or the total cost of the construction project. Residential construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating permanent residential mortgage loans. We do not have a program for making speculative construction loans to contractors or developers.

Table of Contents

Construction lending generally involves greater credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on construction loans depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction cost is inaccurate, we may be required to advance additional funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Moreover, if the estimated value of the completed project is inaccurate, the borrower may hold a property with a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment of the construction loan upon the sale of the property. Construction loans also expose us to the risk that improvements will not be completed on time in accordance with specifications and projected costs. In addition, the ultimate sale or rental of the property may not occur as anticipated.

Other than during the construction phase of our one-to four-family residential loans, we do not offer “interest only” mortgage loans on permanent one- to four-family residential real estate loans (where the borrower pays interest for an initial period, after which the loan converts to a fully amortizing loan). We also do not offer one- to four-family residential real estate loans that provide for negative amortization of principal, such as “Option ARM” loans, where the borrower can pay less than the interest owed on the loan, resulting in an increased principal balance during the life of the loan. We generally do not offer “subprime loans” on one- to four- family residential real estate loans (i.e., loans to borrowers with weakened credit histories typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments, bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burden ratios), or “Alt-A” (i.e., loans to borrowers with better credit scores who borrow with alternative documentation such as little or no verification of income). However, we consider the circumstances of each borrower’s financial situation before rendering a decision.

Non-Owner-Occupied One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Loans. At December 31, 2021, $8.5 million, or 11.2% of our total loan portfolio, consisted of non-owner-occupied, or “investment,” one- to four-family residential real estate loans, all of which were secured by properties located in our primary lending market area. At December 31, 2021, our non-owner-occupied one- to four-family residential real estate loans had an average balance of $126,000. At December 31, 2021, our largest non-owner-occupied one- to four-family residential relationship had a principal balance of $788,000 and was collateralized by three properties and was performing in accordance with its repayment terms as of such date. At December 31, 2021, our second largest non-owner-occupied one- to four-family residential relationship had a principal balance of $716,000 and was collateralized by one property and was performing in accordance with its repayment terms as of such date

We originate fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans secured by non-owner-occupied one- to four-family properties. These loans may have a term of up to 30 years. In recent years, in the historically low interest rate environment, nearly all of our non-owner-occupied one- to four-family residential loan originations have fixed rates of interest. We generally lend up to 80% of the property’s appraised value. Appraised values are determined by an outside independent appraiser. In deciding to originate a loan secured by a non-owner-occupied one- to four-family residential property, we review the creditworthiness of the borrower, the expected cash flow from the property securing the loan, the cash flow requirements of the borrower and the value of the property securing the loan. We require an abstract of title, a title policy, property and extended coverage casualty insurance, and, if appropriate, flood insurance, in order to protect our security interest in the underlying property. Current borrower financial information is required on an annual basis under the terms of loans originated after 2009.

Non-owner-occupied one- to four-family residential loans generally carry higher interest rates and have shorter terms than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Non owner-occupied one- to four-

Table of Contents

family residential loans, however, entail greater credit risks compared to the owner-occupied one- to four-family residential mortgage loans we originate. The payment of loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the sufficient income from the property to cover operating expenses and debt service. Changes in economic conditions could affect the value of the collateral for the loan or the future cash flow of the property. Historically, we have experienced higher rates of delinquencies on our non-owner-occupied one- to four-family residential real estate loans as compared to our owner-occupied loans.

Home Equity Loans. In addition to one- to four-family residential real estate loans, we offer closed-end, second mortgage home equity loans that are secured by the borrower’s primary residence. We make home equity loans to borrowers on which we also hold the first mortgage as well as loans on which we do not hold the first mortgage. At December 31, 2021, we had $410,000, or 0.5%, of our total loan portfolio in home equity loans.

Home equity loans are generally underwritten using the same criteria that we use to underwrite one- to four-family residential real estate loans. Home equity loans may be underwritten with a loan-to-value ratio of up to 90% when combined with the principal balance of the existing first mortgage loan. Our home equity loans are primarily originated with fixed rates of interest with terms of up to 15 years.

Home equity loans are generally secured by junior mortgages and have greater risk than one- to four-family residential real estate loans secured by first mortgages. We face the risk that the collateral will be insufficient to compensate us for loan losses and costs of foreclosure, after repayment of the senior mortgages, if applicable. When customers default on their loans, we assess the likelihood of recovery from the sale of the collateral. Generally, we will attempt to foreclose on the property and resell the property as soon as possible to minimize foreclosure and carrying costs. However, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to compensate us for the amount of the unpaid loan and we may be unsuccessful in recovering the remaining balance from those customers. Particularly with respect to our home equity loans, decreases in real estate values could adversely affect our ability to fully recover the loan balance in the event of a default.

Multifamily and Commercial Real Estate Loans. At December 31, 2021, multifamily loans totaled $2.8 million, or 3.7% of our total loan portfolio, and commercial real estate loans totaled an additional $1.5 million, or 2.0% of our total loan portfolio. We intend to modestly increase our emphasis on multifamily and commercial real estate loans through increased originations and purchase of participations although, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these lines of business were minimal in 2021.

We originate a variety of fixed- and adjustable-rate multifamily and commercial real estate loans with balloon and amortization terms up to 25 years. Multifamily and commercial real estate loan amounts generally do not exceed 75% of the property’s appraised value at the time the loan is originated. Aggregate debt service ratios, including the guarantor’s cash flow and the borrower’s other projects, have a guideline minimum income to debt service ratio of 1.25x. We require multifamily and commercial real estate loan borrowers to submit annual financial statements and tax returns and/or rent rolls on the subject property. We may request such information for smaller loans on a case-by-case basis. These properties may also be subject to annual inspections with pictures as evidence appropriate maintenance is being performed. Our commercial real estate loans are typically secured by retail, service or other commercial properties.

At December 31, 2021, our largest multifamily real estate relationship totaled $564,000 and was secured by one property. At December 31, 2021, this loan was performing in accordance with its original payment terms.

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2021, we had only one commercial real estate loan participation in the amount of $1.5 million secured by a strip shopping center in Louisiana. This loan was performing in accordance with its original repayment terms at December 31, 2021.

We consider a number of factors in originating or participating in commercial real estate loans. We evaluate the qualifications, credit capacity and financial condition of the borrower, including project-level and global cash flows, credit history, and management expertise, as well as the value and condition of the property securing the loan. When evaluating the qualifications of the borrower, we first 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). We generally require a debt service ratio of at least 1.25x.

The payment of loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the property, as repayment of the loan generally is dependent, in large part, on sufficient income from the property to cover operating expenses and debt service. Changes in economic conditions that are not in the control of the borrower or lender could affect the value of the collateral for the loan or the future cash flow of the property. Additionally, any decline in real estate values may be more pronounced for commercial real estate than residential properties. There may be additional risk on commercial rentals, where the borrower is not the occupant of the collateral property. If we foreclose on a multifamily or commercial real estate loan, our holding period for the collateral is typically longer than for one- to four-family residential real estate loans because there are fewer potential purchasers of the collateral. Further, our multifamily and commercial real estate loans generally have relatively larger balances to single borrowers or related groups of borrowers than our one- to four-family residential real estate loans. Accordingly, if any of our judgments regarding the collectability of our multifamily or commercial real estate loans prove incorrect, the resulting charge-offs may be larger on a per loan basis than those incurred with respect to one- to four-family residential loans.

Consumer Lending. At December 31, 2021, we had $239,000, or 0.3% of our loan portfolio, in consumer loans. Our consumer loans are collateralized by up to 90% of the borrower’s existing savings accounts or certificates of deposit at Eureka Homestead and are interest-only loans with no fixed term. Generally, these loans carry an interest rate of 2.00% above the borrower’s deposit rate.

Loan Originations, Participations, Purchases and Sales

We originate real estate and other loans through employee marketing and advertising efforts, our existing customer base, walk-in customers and referrals from customers.

We originate one-to four-family residential real estate loans that conform to Fannie Mae guidelines for sale into the secondary market. In 2021 and 2020, we originated for sale and sold $35.4 million and $26.1 million, respectively, of one- to four-family residential real estate loans.

We employ certain processes and procedures to monitor and mitigate the risks associated with our mortgage banking activities, including:

●

independent daily pricing to establish profitability targets;

●

locking rates to mitigate risk of pair off fees;

Table of Contents

●

selling loans pursuant to best efforts delivery contracts to eliminate warehouse and pipeline risk; and

●

underwriting review of each file to avoid loan repurchases for non-compliance with underwriting requirements.

Since 2007 we have not purchased whole loans, however, in 2015 we began purchasing participations in a commercial real estate loans. Subject to our conservative underwriting standards, in the future we intend to modestly increase the emphasis of originations of and the purchase of participations in multifamily and commercial real estate loans although, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this line of business was minimal in 2021.

The following table sets forth our loan origination, sale and principal repayment activity during the periods indicated. We did not purchase any loans during the years presented.

Delinquencies, Classified Assets and Nonperforming Assets

Delinquency Procedures. When a borrower fails to make a required monthly payment on a residential real estate loan, we attempt to contact the borrower by phone. All delinquent loans are reported to the board of directors each month. This report effectively is our watch list. After 90 days delinquent the loan is transferred to the appropriate collections personnel. Our policies provide that a late notice be sent four times a month. Once the loan is considered in default, generally at 90 days past due, a letter is generally sent to the borrower explaining that the entire balance of the loan is due and payable, the loan is placed on non-accrual status, and additional efforts are made to contact the borrower. If the borrower does not respond, we generally initiate foreclosure proceedings when the loan is 120 days past due. If the loan is reinstated, foreclosure proceedings will be discontinued and the borrower will be permitted to continue to make payments. In certain instances, we may modify the loan or grant a limited exemption from loan payments to allow the borrower to reorganize his or her financial affairs.

Table of Contents

When we acquire real estate as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the real estate is classified as other real estate owned until it is sold. The real estate is recorded at estimated fair value at the date of acquisition less estimated costs to sell, and any write-down resulting from the acquisition is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent decreases in the value of the property are charged to operations. After acquisition, all costs in maintaining the property are expensed as incurred. 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.

Delinquent multifamily and commercial real estate and construction loans are handled in a similar fashion. Our procedures for repossession and sale of consumer collateral are subject to various requirements under applicable laws, including consumer protection laws. In addition, we may determine that foreclosure and sale of such collateral would not be cost-effective for us.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. We occasionally modify loans to extend the term or make other concessions to help a borrower stay current on his or her loan and to avoid foreclosure. We consider modifications only after analyzing the borrower’s current repayment capacity, evaluating the strength of any guarantors based on documented current financial information, and assessing the current value of any collateral pledged. We generally do not forgive principal or interest on loans, but may do so if it is in our best interest and increases the likelihood that we can collect the remaining principal balance. We may modify the terms of loans to lower interest rates (which may be at below market rates), to provide for fixed interest rates on loans where fixed rates are otherwise not available, to provide for longer amortization schedules, or to provide for interest-only terms. These modifications are made only when a workout plan has been agreed to by the borrower that we believe is reasonable and attainable and in our best interests. At December 31, 2021, we had no loans which were classified as troubled debt restructurings.

Delinquent Loans. At both December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had no loans that were 30 days or more delinquent.

Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide that loans and other assets of lesser quality should be classified as “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss.” 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 the insured institution 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 establishment of a specific allowance for loan losses is not warranted. Assets that do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are designated as “watch” or “special mention” (for investment loans only). At December 31, 2021, we had no loans designated as “watch” or “special mention.”

When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish general allowances in an amount deemed prudent by management to cover losses that were both probable and reasonable to estimate. General allowances represent allowances which have been established to cover accrued losses associated with lending activities that were both probable and reasonable to estimate, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as “loss”, it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge-off such amount. An institution’s

Table of Contents

determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the regulatory authorities, which may have judgments different than management’s, and may determine the need to establish additional general or specific allowances.

In connection with the filing of our periodic regulatory reports and in accordance with our classification of assets policy, we regularly review the problem loans in our portfolio to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. If a problem loan deteriorates in asset quality, the classification is changed to “substandard”, “doubtful” or “loss” depending on the circumstances and the evaluation. Generally, loans 90 days or more past due are placed on nonaccrual status and classified “substandard.”

The following table sets forth our amounts of classified assets as of the dates indicated. Amounts shown at December 31, 2021 and 2020 include $0 and $0 of nonperforming loans, respectively. The related specific valuation allowance in the allowance for loan losses for such nonperforming loans was $0 and $0 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Other Loans of Concern. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were $0 and $559,000, respectively, of other loans, all of which were classified as substandard, that are not already disclosed in the nonperforming assets and troubled debt restructurings paragraphs above where there is information about possible credit problems of borrowers that caused management to have serious doubts about the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and that may result in disclosure of such loans in the future.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Loan Losses. Our allowance for loan losses is the amount considered necessary to reflect probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio. We evaluate the need to establish allowances against losses on loans on a quarterly basis. When additional allowances are necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings.

Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses consists of two key elements: (1) specific allowances for identified impaired loans; and (2) a general valuation allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio. Although we determine the amount of each element of the allowance separately, the entire allowance for loan losses is available for the entire portfolio.

We identify loans that may need to be charged off as a loss by reviewing all delinquent loans, classified loans, and other loans about which management may have concerns about collectability. For individually reviewed loans, the borrower’s inability to make payments under the terms of the loan as well as

Table of Contents

the shortfall in collateral value could result in our charging off the loan or the portion of the loan that was impaired.

Among other factors, we consider current general economic conditions, including current housing price depreciation, in determining the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses for our residential real estate portfolio. We use evidence obtained from our own loan portfolio as well as published housing data on our local markets from third party sources we believe to be reliable as a basis for assumptions about the impact of housing depreciation.

Substantially all of our loans are secured by collateral. Loans 90 days past due and other classified loans are evaluated for impairment and general or specific allowances are established. Typically for a nonperforming real estate loan in the process of collection, the value of the underlying collateral is estimated using either the original independent appraisal if it is less than 12 months old, adjusted for current economic conditions and other factors, or a new independent appraisal, and related general or specific allowances for loan losses are adjusted on a quarterly basis. If a nonperforming real estate loan is in the process of foreclosure and/or there are serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, and there is uncertainty about the value of the underlying collateral, we will order a new independent appraisal if it has not already been obtained. Any shortfall would result in immediately charging off the portion of the loan that was impaired.

Effective January 1, 2023, we will adopt the CECL standard for determining the amount of our allowance for credit losses, which we expect will increase our allowance for loan and lease losses upon adoption and cause our historic allowance for loan and lease losses not to be indicative of how we will maintain our allowance for credit losses beginning January 1, 2023.

Under CECL, the allowance for credit losses is an estimate of the expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, which is measured using relevant information about past events, including historical credit loss experience on financial assets with similar risk characteristics, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows over the contractual term of the financial assets. Changes in economic forecasts, loan portfolio composition and credit quality, changes in model assumptions and other factors will influence the CECL outcomes and the resulting calculation of our allowance for credit losses. This will change the current method of providing an allowance for loan and lease losses that are incurred or probable, which would likely require us to increase our allowance for credit losses, and to greatly increase the types of data we will need to collect and review to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses. We anticipate that if, after CECL becomes effective for us, there is onset of economic distress that management believes is likely to materially increase our non-performing loans, CECL will likely have the effect of causing management to accelerate the increase in our allowance for credit losses, as compared to our current loan loss methodology.

Specific Allowances for Identified Problem Loans. We establish a specific allowance when loans are determined to be impaired. Loss is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling expenses. Factors in identifying a specific problem loan include: (1) the strength of the customer’s personal or business cash flows; (2) the availability of other sources of repayment; (3) the amount due or past due; (4) the type and value of collateral; (5) the strength of our collateral position; (6) the estimated cost to sell the collateral; and (7) the borrower’s effort to cure the delinquency. In addition, for loans secured by real estate, we consider the extent of any past due and unpaid property taxes applicable to the property serving as collateral on the mortgage.

Table of Contents

General Valuation Allowance on the Remainder of the Loan Portfolio. We establish a general allowance for loans that are not classified as impaired to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, has not been allocated to particular problem assets. This general valuation allowance is determined by segregating the loans by loan category and assigning allowance percentages based on our historical loss experience, delinquency trends and management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio. The allowance may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. These significant factors may include changes in lending policies and procedures, changes in existing general economic and business conditions affecting our primary market area, credit quality trends, collateral value, loan volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, duration of the current business cycle and bank regulatory examination results. The applied loss factors are re-evaluated quarterly to ensure their relevance in the current real estate environment.

At December 31, 2021, our allowance for loan losses represented 1.14% of total loans, and at December 31, 2020, our allowance for loan losses represented 1.22% of total loans. There were net recoveries of $8,000 and $2,000 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary and results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations. Because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, the existing allowance for loan losses may not be adequate and management may determine that increases in the allowance are necessary if the quality of any portion of our loan portfolio deteriorates as a result. Furthermore, as an integral part of its examination process, the OCC will periodically review our allowance for loan losses. The OCC may have judgments different than management’s, and we may determine to increase our allowance as a result of these regulatory reviews. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Investment Activities

General. Our investment policy is established by the board of directors. The objectives of the policy are to: (i) ensure adequate liquidity for loan demand and deposit fluctuations, and to allow us to alter our liquidity position to meet both day-to-day and long-term changes in assets and liabilities; (ii) manage interest rate risk in accordance with our interest rate risk policy; (iii) provide collateral for pledging requirements; (iv) maximize return on our investments; and (v) maintain a balance of high quality diversified investments to minimize risk.

Our executive officers meet monthly to assess our asset/liability risk profile and this group is responsible for implementing our investment policy, subject to the board of director’s approval of the investment strategies and monitoring of the investment performance. The Chief Executive Officer and the President/Chief Financial Officer have the overall responsibility for managing the investment portfolio and executing transactions. The board of directors regularly reviews our investment strategies and the market value of our investment portfolio.

Table of Contents

We account for investment and mortgage-backed securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Accounting Standards Codification 320 requires that investments be categorized as held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale. Our decision to classify certain of our securities as available-for-sale is based on our need to meet daily liquidity needs and to take advantage of profits that may occur from time to time.

Federally chartered savings institutions have authority to invest in various types of assets, including government-sponsored enterprise obligations, securities of various federal agencies, residential mortgage-backed securities, certain certificates of deposit of insured financial institutions, overnight and short-term loans to other banks, corporate debt instruments, debt instruments of municipalities and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac equity securities. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, our investment portfolio consisted of mortgage-backed securities and Small Business Administration (SBA) securities.

Investment Securities. At December 31, 2021, we had mortgage-backed securities with a carrying value of $2.8 million, and we held $2.5 million of SBA securities. At these dates, all of our investment securities were categorized as available-for-sale.

Mortgage-backed securities are securities issued in the secondary market that are collateralized by pools of mortgages. Certain types of mortgage-backed securities are commonly referred to as “pass-through” certificates because the principal and interest of the underlying loans is “passed through” to investors, net of certain costs, including servicing and guarantee fees. Mortgage-backed securities typically are collateralized by pools of one- to four-family or multifamily mortgages, although we invest primarily in mortgage-backed securities backed by one- to four-family mortgages. The issuers of such securities pool and resell the participation interests in the form of securities to investors such as Eureka Homestead. The interest rate of the security is lower than the interest rates of the underlying loans to allow for payment of servicing and guaranty fees. All of our mortgage-backed securities are either backed by United States Government agencies, such as Ginnie Mae and the SBA, or government-sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Residential mortgage-backed securities issued by United States Government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises are more liquid than individual mortgage loans because there is an active trading market for such securities. In addition, residential mortgage-backed securities may be used to collateralize our borrowings. Investments in residential mortgage-backed securities involve a risk that actual payments will be greater or less than the prepayment rate estimated at the time of purchase, which may require adjustments to the amortization of any premium or accretion of any discount relating to such interests, thereby affecting the net yield on our securities. Current prepayment speeds determine whether prepayment estimates require modification that could cause amortization or accretion adjustments.

Our SBA securities are securitized pools of loans issued and fully guaranteed by the Small Business Administration, a U.S. government agency.

Other Securities. We hold common stock of the FHLB in connection with our borrowing activities. The FHLB common stock is carried at cost and classified as restricted equity securities. It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB common stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. We may be required to purchase additional FHLB common stock if we increase borrowings in the future.

Portfolio Maturities and Yields. The composition and maturities of the investment securities portfolio at December 31, 2021 are summarized in the following table. Maturities are based on the final contractual payment dates, and do not reflect the impact of prepayments or early redemptions that may occur. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All of our securities at this date were held as available-for-sale.

Sources of Funds

General. Deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal, amortization payments from mortgage-backed securities and SBA securities, proceeds from loan sales, maturities and calls of securities and funds provided by operations are our primary sources of funds for use in lending, investing and for other general purposes. We also use borrowings, primarily FHLB advances, to supplement cash flow needs, lengthen the maturities of liabilities for interest rate risk purposes and to manage the cost of funds.

Deposits. We offer deposit products having a range of interest rates and terms. We currently offer savings accounts (passbook and money market) and certificates of deposit. Historically, we have relied on retail certificates of deposit as a funding source. We also accept jumbo certificates of deposit through an on-line service, and municipal and brokered certificates of deposit, as non-retail funding sources to fund our loan originations. These non-core funding sources are not relationship-based accounts and are generally more price-sensitive than our core deposits of savings and money market accounts and our retail certificates of deposit. Therefore, these deposits carry a greater risk of non-renewal than our core deposits.

The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in market and other prevailing interest rates, and competition. Our retail deposits are primarily obtained from areas surrounding our office, and our wholesale funding obtained through on-line listing services.

At December 31, 2021, our certificates of deposit included $32.4 million obtained through an online listing service, $3.5 million of brokered deposits and $1.1 million of municipal deposits.

The following table sets forth the distribution of our average total deposit accounts, by account type, for the years indicated.

Borrowings. We may obtain advances from the FHLB upon the security of our capital stock in the FHLB and our one- to four-family residential real estate portfolio. We utilize these advances for asset/liability management purposes and for additional funding for our operations. Such advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. To the extent such borrowings have different terms to reprice than our deposits, they can change our interest rate risk profile. Historically, we have utilized longer-term advances to better match the maturities of the long-term, fixed-rate assets which comprise the biggest component of our loan portfolio. At December 31, 2021, we had $18.2 million in outstanding advances from the FHLB. At December 31, 2021, based on available collateral and our ownership of FHLB common stock, we had access to additional FHLB advances of up to $18.3 million. Additionally, at December 31, 2021, we had access to a $6.6 million line of credit through First National Bankers Bank.

For more information about our borrowings, see Note 10 of the Notes to our Financial Statements beginning on page F-26 of this annual report.

Expense and Tax Allocation Agreements

Eureka Homestead has entered into an agreement with Eureka Homestead Bancorp to provide it with certain administrative support services, whereby Eureka Homestead will be compensated at not less than the fair market value of the services provided. In addition, Eureka Homestead and Eureka Homestead Bancorp have entered into an agreement to establish a method for allocating and for reimbursing the payment of their consolidated tax liability.

Employees

As of December 31, 2021 we had 13 full-time equivalent employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management believes that we have a good working relationship with our employees.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

General

As a federal savings association, Eureka Homestead is subject to examination and regulation by the OCC, and is also subject to examination by the FDIC. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution may engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC’s deposit insurance fund and depositors, and not for the protection of security holders.

Table of Contents

Eureka Homestead also is a member of and owns stock in the FHLB, which is one of the 11 regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System.

Under this system of regulation, the regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory, enforcement, rulemaking and examination activities and policies, including rules or policies that: establish minimum capital levels; restrict the timing and amount of dividend payments; govern the classification of assets; determine the adequacy of loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes; and establish the timing and amounts of assessments and fees. Moreover, as part of their examination authority, the banking regulators assign numerical ratings to banks and savings institutions relating to capital, asset quality, management, liquidity, earnings and other factors. The receipt of a less than satisfactory rating in one or more categories may result in enforcement action by the banking regulators against a financial institution. A less than satisfactory rating may also prevent a financial institution, such as Eureka Homestead or its holding company, from obtaining necessary regulatory approvals to access the capital markets, pay dividends, acquire other financial institutions or establish new branches.

In addition, we must comply with significant anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws and regulations, Community Reinvestment Act laws and regulations, and fair lending laws and regulations. Government agencies have the authority to impose monetary penalties and other sanctions on institutions that fail to comply with these laws and regulations, which could significantly affect our business activities, including our ability to acquire other financial institutions or expand our branch network.

As a savings and loan holding company, Eureka Homestead Bancorp is required to comply with the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. It is required to file certain reports with the Federal Reserve Board and is subject to examination by the enforcement authority of the Federal Reserve Board. Eureka Homestead Bancorp is also subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.

Any change in applicable laws or regulations, whether by the OCC, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on the operations and financial performance of Eureka Homestead Bancorp and Eureka Homestead.

Set forth below is a brief description of material regulatory requirements that are or will be applicable to Eureka Homestead and Eureka Homestead Bancorp. The description is limited to certain material aspects of the statutes and regulations addressed, and is not intended to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on Eureka Homestead and Eureka Homestead Bancorp.

Federal Banking Regulation

Business Activities. A federal savings association derives its lending and investment powers from the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended, and applicable federal regulations. Under these laws and regulations, Eureka Homestead may invest in mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer loans, certain types of debt securities and certain other assets, subject to applicable limits. Eureka Homestead may also establish subsidiaries that may engage in certain activities not otherwise permissible for Eureka Homestead, including real estate investment and securities and insurance brokerage.

Capital Requirements. Federal regulations require federally insured depository institutions to meet several minimum capital standards: a common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 6.0%, a total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, and a 4.0% Tier 1 capital to adjusted average total assets leverage ratio.

Table of Contents

Common equity Tier 1 capital is generally defined as common stockholders’ equity and retained earnings. Tier 1 capital is generally defined as common equity Tier 1 and additional Tier 1 capital. Additional Tier 1 capital includes certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries. Total capital includes Tier 1 capital (common equity Tier 1 capital plus additional Tier 1 capital) and Tier 2 capital. Tier 2 capital is comprised of capital instruments and related surplus, meeting specified requirements, and may include cumulative preferred stock and long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, intermediate preferred stock and subordinated debt. Also included in Tier 2 capital is the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets and, for institutions that have exercised an opt-out election regarding the treatment of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”), up to 45% of net unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. Institutions that have not exercised the AOCI opt-out have AOCI incorporated into common equity Tier 1 capital (including unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale-securities). Eureka Homestead exercised its AOCI opt-out election. Calculation of all types of regulatory capital is subject to deductions and adjustments specified in the regulations.

In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets for purposes of calculating risk-based capital ratios, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets (e.g., recourse obligations, direct credit substitutes, residual interests) are multiplied by a risk weight factor assigned by the regulations based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Higher levels of capital are required for asset categories believed to present greater risk. For example, a risk weight of 0% is assigned to cash and U.S. government securities, a risk weight of 50% is generally assigned to prudently underwritten first lien one- to four-family residential real estate loans, a risk weight of 100% is assigned to commercial and consumer loans, a risk weight of 150% is assigned to certain past due loans and a risk weight of between 0% to 600% is assigned to permissible equity interests, depending on certain specified factors.

In addition to establishing the minimum regulatory capital requirements, the regulations limit capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management if the institution does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer requirement was phased in beginning January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increased each year until fully implemented at 2.5% of risk-weighted assets on January 1, 2020.

Federal law required the federal banking agencies to establish a “community bank leverage ratio” of between 8% and 10% for institutions with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion. Institutions with capital complying with the ratio and otherwise meeting the specified requirements and electing the alternative framework are considered to comply with the applicable regulatory capital requirements, including the risk-based requirements. The community bank leverage ratio was established at 9% Tier 1 capital to total average assets, effective January 1, 2020. A qualifying institution may opt in and out of the community bank leverage ratio framework on its quarterly call report. An institution that temporarily ceases to meet any qualifying criteria is provided with a two-quarter grace period to regain compliance. Failure to meet the qualifying criteria within the grace period or maintain a leverage ratio of 8% or greater requires the institution to comply with the generally applicable regulatory capital requirements.

At December 31, 2021, Eureka Homestead had not opted into the community bank leverage ratio framework and its capital exceeded all applicable requirements.

Loans-to-One Borrower. Generally, a federal savings association may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus. An

Table of Contents

additional amount may be loaned, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which generally does not include real estate. As of December 31, 2021, Eureka Homestead was in compliance with the loans-to-one borrower limitations.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test. As a federal savings association, Eureka Homestead must satisfy the qualified thrift lender, or “QTL,” test. Under the QTL test, Eureka Homestead must maintain at least 65% of its “portfolio assets” in “qualified thrift investments” (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including mortgage-backed securities) in at least nine months of the most recent 12-month period. “Portfolio assets” generally means total assets of a savings association, less the sum of specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, and the value of property used in the conduct of the savings association’s business.

Eureka Homestead also may satisfy the QTL test by qualifying as a “domestic building and loan association” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This test generally requires a savings association to have at least 75% of its deposits held by the public and earn at least 25% of its income from loans and U.S. government obligations. Alternatively, a savings association can satisfy this test by maintaining at least 60% of its assets in cash, real estate loans and U.S. Government or state obligations.

A savings association that fails the qualified thrift lender test must operate under specified restrictions set forth in the Home Owners’ Loan Act. The Dodd-Frank Act made noncompliance with the QTL test subject to agency enforcement action for a violation of law. At December 31, 2021, Eureka Homestead was in compliance with the qualified thrift lender test, and at this date its percentage of qualified thrift investments to total assets was approximately 95.23%.

Capital Distributions. Federal regulations govern capital distributions by a federal savings association, which include cash dividends, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the savings association’s capital account. A federal savings association must file an application with the OCC for approval of a capital distribution if:

●

the total capital distributions for the applicable calendar year exceed the sum of the savings association’s net income for that year to date plus the savings association’s retained net income for the preceding two years;

●

the savings association would not be at least adequately capitalized following the distribution;

●

the distribution would violate any applicable statute, regulation, agreement or regulatory condition; or

●

the savings association is not eligible for expedited treatment of its filings, generally due to an unsatisfactory CAMELS rating or being subject to a cease and desist order or formal written agreement that requires action to improve the institution’s financial condition.

Even if an application is not otherwise required, every savings association that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, such as Eureka Homestead, must still file a notice with the Federal Reserve Board at least 30 days before the board of directors declares a dividend or approves a capital distribution.

A notice or application related to a capital distribution may be disapproved if:

●

the federal savings association would be undercapitalized following the distribution;

●

the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness concerns; or

Table of Contents

●

the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation or agreement.

In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act provides that an insured depository institution may not make any capital distribution if, after making such distribution, the institution would fail to meet any applicable regulatory capital requirement. A federal savings association also may not make a capital distribution that would reduce its regulatory capital below the amount required for the liquidation account established in connection with its conversion to stock form.

Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws. All federal savings associations have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income borrowers. In connection with its examination of a federal savings association, the OCC is required to assess the federal savings association’s record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. A savings association’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in denial of certain corporate applications such as branches or mergers, or in restrictions on its activities. In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from discriminating in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those statutes. The failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions by the OCC, as well as other federal regulatory agencies and the Department of Justice.

In June 2020, the OCC issued a final rule clarifying and expanding the activities that qualify for Community Reinvestment Act credit and, according to the agency, seeking to create a more consistent and objective method for evaluating Community Reinvestment Act performance. The final rule was effective October 1, 2020, but compliance with certain of the revised requirements is not mandatory until January 1, 2024 for institutions of Eureka Homestead’s asset size.

The Community Reinvestment Act requires all institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to publicly disclose their rating. Eureka Homestead received a “satisfactory” Community Reinvestment Act rating in its most recent federal examination.

Transactions with Related Parties. A federal savings association’s authority to engage in transactions with its affiliates is limited by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and federal regulation. An affiliate is generally a company that controls, or is under common control with, an insured depository institution such as Eureka Homestead. Eureka Homestead Bancorp will be an affiliate of Eureka Homestead because of its control of Eureka Homestead. In general, transactions between an insured depository institution and its affiliates are subject to certain quantitative limits and collateral requirements. In addition, federal regulations prohibit a savings association from lending to any of its affiliates that are engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and from purchasing the securities of any affiliate, other than a subsidiary. Finally, transactions with affiliates must be consistent with safe and sound banking practices, not involve the purchase of low-quality assets and be on terms that are as favorable to the institution as comparable transactions with non-affiliates.

Eureka Homestead’s authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers and 10% shareholders, as well as to entities controlled by such persons, is currently governed by the requirements of Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve Board. Among other things, these provisions generally require that extensions of credit to insiders:

●

be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with

Table of Contents

unaffiliated persons and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features; and

●

not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of Eureka Homestead’s capital.

In addition, extensions of credit in excess of certain limits must be approved by Eureka Homestead’s board of directors. Extensions of credit to executive officers are subject to additional limits based on the type of extension involved.

Enforcement. The OCC has primary enforcement responsibility over federal savings associations and has authority to bring enforcement action against all “institution-affiliated parties,” including directors, officers, shareholders, attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on a federal savings association. Formal enforcement action by the OCC may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers and/or directors of the institution and the appointment of a receiver or conservator. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and actions, and range up to $25,000 per day, unless a finding of reckless disregard is made, in which case penalties may be as high as $1 million per day. The FDIC also has the authority to terminate deposit insurance or recommend to the OCC that enforcement action be taken with respect to a particular savings association. If such action is not taken, the FDIC has authority to take the action under specified circumstances.

Standards for Safety and Soundness. Federal law requires each federal banking agency to prescribe certain standards for all insured depository institutions. These standards relate to, among other things, internal controls, information systems and audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, compensation and other operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. Interagency guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If an institution fails to meet these standards, the appropriate federal banking agency may require the institution to implement an acceptable compliance plan. Failure to implement such a plan can result in further enforcement action, including the issuance of a cease and desist order or the imposition of civil money penalties.

Interstate Banking and Branching. Federal law permits well capitalized and well managed holding companies to acquire banks in any state, subject to Federal Reserve Board approval, certain concentration limits and other specified conditions. Interstate mergers of banks are also authorized, subject to regulatory approval and other specified conditions. In addition, among other things, recent amendments made by the Dodd-Frank Act permit banks to establish de novo branches on an interstate basis provided that branching is authorized by the law of the host state for the banks chartered by that state.

Prompt Corrective Action. Federal law requires, among other things, that federal bank regulators take “prompt corrective action” with respect to institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. For this purpose, the law establishes five capital categories: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. An institution is deemed to be “well capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater, a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater and a common equity Tier 1 ratio of 6.5% or greater. An institution is “adequately capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater, a Tier 1

Table of Contents

risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater, a leverage ratio of 4.0% or greater and a common equity Tier 1 ratio of 4.5% or greater. An institution is “undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 6.0%, a leverage ratio of less than 4.0% or a common equity Tier 1 ratio of less than 4.5%. An institution is deemed to be “significantly undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4.0%, a leverage ratio of less than 3.0% or a common equity Tier 1 ratio of less than 3.0%. An institution is considered to be “critically undercapitalized” if it has a ratio of tangible equity (as defined in the regulations) to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%.

Federal law and regulations also specify circumstances under which a federal banking agency may reclassify a well-capitalized institution as adequately capitalized and may require an institution classified as less than well capitalized to comply with supervisory actions as if it were in the next lower category.

The OCC may order savings associations that have insufficient capital to take corrective actions. For example, a savings association that is categorized as “undercapitalized” is subject to growth limitations and is required to submit a capital restoration plan, and a holding company that controls such a savings association is required to guarantee that the savings association complies with the restoration plan. A “significantly undercapitalized” savings association may be subject to additional restrictions. Savings associations deemed by the OCC to be “critically undercapitalized” would be subject to the appointment of a receiver or conservator.

At December 31, 2021 Eureka Homestead met the criteria for being considered “well capitalized.”

Insurance of Deposit Accounts. Eureka Homestead is a member of the Deposit Insurance Fund, which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Eureka Homestead’s deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC, generally up to a maximum of $250,000 per depositor.

Under the FDIC’s risk-based assessment system, institutions deemed less risky of failure pay lower assessments. Assessments for institutions of less than $10 billion of assets are based on financial measures and supervisory ratings derived from statistical modeling estimating the probability of an institution’s failure within three years.

The FDIC has the authority to increase insurance assessments. A significant increase in insurance premiums would have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of Eureka Homestead. We cannot predict what deposit insurance assessment rates will be in the future.

Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC. We do not know of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of deposit insurance at Eureka Homestead.

Privacy Regulations. Federal regulations generally require that Eureka Homestead disclose its privacy policy, including identifying with whom it shares a customer’s “non-public personal information,” to customers at the time of establishing the customer relationship and annually thereafter. In addition, Eureka Homestead is required to provide its customers with the ability to “opt-out” of having their personal information shared with unaffiliated third parties and not to disclose account numbers or access codes to non-affiliated third parties for marketing purposes. Eureka Homestead currently has a privacy protection policy in place and believes that such policy is in compliance with the regulations.

USA Patriot Act. Eureka Homestead is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act, which gives federal agencies additional powers to address terrorist threats through enhanced domestic security measures, expanded surveillance powers, increased information sharing, and broadened anti-money laundering requirements. The USA PATRIOT Act contains provisions intended to encourage information sharing among bank regulatory agencies and law enforcement bodies and imposes affirmative obligations on financial institutions, such as enhanced recordkeeping and customer identification requirements.

Prohibitions Against Tying Arrangements. Federal savings associations are prohibited, subject to some exceptions, from extending credit to or offering any other service, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service, on the condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the institution or its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor of the institution.

Other Regulations

Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by Eureka Homestead are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. Loan operations are also subject to state and federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:

●

Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves;

●

Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit;

●

Fair Credit Reporting Act, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies; and

●

Rules and regulations of the various federal and state agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal and state laws.

The deposit operations of Eureka Homestead also are subject to, among others, the:

●

Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records;

●

Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (also known as “Check 21”), which gives “substitute checks,” such as digital check images and copies made from that image, the same legal standing as the original paper check; and

●

Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E promulgated thereunder, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers’ rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services.

Federal Home Loan Bank System

Eureka Homestead is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 11 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank provides a central credit facility primarily

Table of Contents

for member institutions. Members of the Federal Home Loan Bank are required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank. Eureka Homestead was in compliance with this requirement at December 31, 2021. Based on redemption provisions of the FHLB, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost. Eureka Homestead reviews for impairment, based on the ultimate recoverability, the cost basis of the FHLB. As of December 31, 2021, no impairment has been recognized.

Holding Company Regulation

Eureka Homestead Bancorp is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board has enforcement authority over Eureka Homestead Bancorp and its non-savings institution subsidiaries. Among other things, this authority permits the Federal Reserve Board to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a risk to Eureka Homestead.

As a savings and loan holding company, Eureka Homestead Bancorp’s activities are limited to those activities permissible by law for financial holding companies (if Eureka Homestead Bancorp makes an election to be treated as a financial holding company and meets the other requirements to be a financial holding company) or multiple savings and loan holding companies. A financial holding company may engage in activities that are financial in nature, incidental to financial activities or complementary to a financial activity. Such activities include lending and other activities permitted for bank holding companies under Section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act, insurance and underwriting equity securities. Multiple savings and loan holding companies are authorized to engage in activities specified by federal regulation, including activities permitted for bank holding companies under Section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act.

Federal law prohibits a savings and loan holding company, directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, from acquiring more than 5% of another savings institution or savings and loan holding company without prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Board, and from acquiring or retaining control of any depository institution not insured by the FDIC. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Federal Reserve Board must consider such things as the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on and the risk to the federal deposit insurance fund, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors. A savings and loan holding company may not acquire a savings institution in another state and hold the target institution as a separate subsidiary unless it is a supervisory acquisition under Section 13(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or the law of the state in which the target is located authorizes such acquisitions by out-of-state companies.

Savings and loan holding companies of under $3 billion in consolidated assets remain exempt from consolidated regulatory capital requirements, unless the Federal Reserve determines otherwise in particular cases.

The Federal Reserve Board has promulgated regulations implementing the “source of strength” policy that require holding companies to act as a source of strength to their subsidiary depository institutions by providing capital, liquidity and other support in times of financial stress.

The Federal Reserve Board has issued supervisory policies regarding the payment of dividends and the repurchase of shares of common stock by bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies. In general, the policy provides that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the holding company appears consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Federal Reserve Board guidance

Table of Contents

provides for prior regulatory consultation with respect to capital distributions in certain circumstances such as where the company’s net income for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid over that period, is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or the company’s overall rate of earnings retention is inconsistent with the company’s capital needs and overall financial condition. The ability of a holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary bank becomes undercapitalized. Federal Reserve Board guidance also states that a holding company should inform the Federal Reserve Board supervisory staff prior to redeeming or repurchasing common stock or perpetual preferred stock if the holding company is experiencing financial weaknesses or if the repurchase or redemption would result in a net reduction, as of the end of a quarter, in the amount of such equity instruments outstanding compared with the beginning of the quarter in which the redemption or repurchase occurred. These regulatory policies may affect the ability of Eureka Homestead Bancorp to pay dividends, repurchase shares of common stock or otherwise engage in capital distributions.

Federal Securities Laws

Eureka Homestead Bancorp common stock is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and Eureka Homestead Bancorp is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of shares of common stock issued in Eureka Homestead Bancorp’s public offering does not cover the resale of those shares. Shares of common stock purchased by persons who are not affiliates of Eureka Homestead Bancorp may be resold without registration. Shares purchased by an affiliate of Eureka Homestead Bancorp will be subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. If Eureka Homestead Bancorp meets the current public information requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, each affiliate of Eureka Homestead Bancorp that complies with the other conditions of Rule 144, including those that require the affiliate’s sale to be aggregated with those of other persons, would be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a number of shares not to exceed, in any three-month period, the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares of Eureka Homestead Bancorp, or the average weekly volume of trading in the shares during the preceding four calendar weeks. In the future, Eureka Homestead Bancorp may permit affiliates to have their shares registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is intended to improve corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. We have policies, procedures and systems designed to comply with these regulations, and we review and document such policies, procedures and systems to ensure continued compliance with these regulations.

Change in Control Regulations

Under the Change in Bank Control Act, no person may acquire control of a savings and loan holding company such as Eureka Homestead Bancorp unless the Federal Reserve Board has been given 60 days prior written notice and has not issued a notice disapproving the proposed acquisition, taking into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the competitive effects of the acquisition. Control, as defined under federal law, means ownership, control of or holding irrevocable proxies representing more than 25% of any class of voting stock, control in any manner of the election of a majority of the institution’s directors, or a determination by the regulator that the acquiror has the power, directly or indirectly, to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of the institution.

Table of Contents

There is a presumption of control upon the acquisition of 10% or more of a class of voting stock under certain circumstances, such as where the holding company involved has its shares registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Eureka Homestead Bancorp is an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act. We will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial stock offering, (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenues are $1.07 billion or more, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities or (iv) the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year. We expect to lose our status as an emerging growth company on December 31, 2024, five years after the completion of our stock offering.

An “emerging growth company” may choose not to hold stockholder votes to approve annual executive compensation (more frequently referred to as “say-on-pay” votes) or executive compensation payable in connection with a merger (more frequently referred to as “say-on-golden parachute” votes). An emerging growth company also is not subject to the requirement that its auditors attest to the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting, and can provide scaled disclosure regarding executive compensation; however, Eureka Homestead Bancorp is also not subject to the auditor attestation requirement or additional executive compensation disclosure so long as we remain a “smaller reporting company” under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations (generally a company with less than $75 million of voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates). Finally, an emerging growth company may elect to use the extended transition period to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies, but must make such election when the company is first required to file a registration statement. We elected to use the extended transition period to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

TAXATION

Federal Taxation

General. Eureka Homestead Bancorp and Eureka Homestead are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize material federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to Eureka Homestead Bancorp and Eureka Homestead.

Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, Eureka Homestead Bancorp currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a tax year ending December 31 for filing its federal income tax returns. The Small Business Protection Act of 1996 eliminated the use of the reserve method of accounting for bad debt reserves by savings institutions, effective for taxable years beginning after 1995.

Alternative Minimum Tax. The alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) for corporations has been repealed for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Any unused minimum tax credit of a corporation may be used to offset regular tax liability for any tax year. In addition, a portion of unused minimum tax

Table of Contents

credit is refundable in 2018 through 2021. The refundable portion is 100% (50% in 2020) of the excess of the minimum tax credit for the year over any credit allowable against regular tax for that year. At December 31, 2021, Eureka Homestead Bancorp had $0 minimum tax credit carryforward.

Net Operating Loss Carryovers. Prior to 2020, a corporation could carry forward net operating losses generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 indefinitely and could offset up to 80% of taxable income. To provide financial assistance and liquidity to taxpayers during the COVID-19 pandemic, the CARES Act amended the federal income tax rules with regard to the usage of net operating losses (“NOLs”) for corporate taxpayers. The CARES Act allows for the carryback of losses arising in a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2021, to be carried back to each of the five taxable years preceding the taxable year of the loss. The CARES Act also temporarily repealed the 80% limitation for NOLs arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and beginning before January 1, 2021 and carried to another tax year. As of December 31, 2020 these NOLs are now permitted to only offset 80% of the loss corporation’s pre-2021 taxable income. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, Eureka Homestead Bancorp and Subsidiary generated $195,000 and a $182,000 of federal net operating losses, respectively, and the remaining amounts from years prior to 2020 totaling $1.6 million are available for future use. A refund of $62,000 was recorded in 2020 for the use of NOLs generated prior to 2020. Although these net operating loss carryforwards have no expiration date, we believe that it is more likely than not that the benefit from a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards will not be realized within a reasonable time period. In recognition of this risk, we have provided a valuation adjustment of $246,000 on the deferred tax asset related to these net operating loss carryforwards. If or when recognized, the tax benefits related to any reversal of the valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset will be accounted for as a reduction of income tax expense and an increase in equity. Neither Eureka Homestead nor Eureka Homestead Bancorp generated any net operating loss carryforwards for Louisiana.

Capital Loss Carryovers. Generally, a corporation may carry back capital losses to the preceding three taxable years and forward to the succeeding five taxable years. Any capital loss carryback or carryover is treated as a short-term capital loss for the year to which it is carried. As such, it is grouped with any other capital losses for the year to which carried and is used to offset any capital gains. Any undeducted loss remaining after the five-year carryover period is not deductible. At December 31, 2019, Eureka Homestead Bancorp had a $1.1 million capital loss carryover, which expired December 31, 2020 unused. We believed that it was more likely than not that the benefit from the capital loss carryforward would not be realized. In recognition of this risk, we provided a valuation adjustment of $227,000 on the deferred tax asset related to this capital loss carryforward at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2021 Eureka Homestead Bancorp had no capital loss carryovers.

Corporate Dividends. Eureka Homestead Bancorp may generally exclude from our income 100% of dividends received from Eureka Homestead as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations.

Audit of Tax Returns. Neither Eureka Homestead Bancorp’s nor Eureka Homestead’s federal income tax returns have been audited in the most recent five-year period.

State Taxation

Eureka Homestead Bancorp is subject to the Louisiana Corporation Income Tax based on our Louisiana taxable income. The Corporation Income Tax applies at graduated rates from 4% upon the first $25,000 of Louisiana taxable income to 8% on all Louisiana taxable income in excess of $200,000. For these purposes, “Louisiana taxable income” means net income which is earned by us within or derived from sources within the State of Louisiana, after adjustments permitted under Louisiana law, including a federal income tax deduction. In addition, Eureka Homestead will be subject to the Louisiana Shares Tax which is

imposed on the assessed value of Eureka Homestead’s capital. The formula for deriving the assessed value is to apply the applicable rate to the sum of:

(1)

20% of our capitalized earnings, plus

(2)

80% of our taxable stockholders’ equity, minus

(3)

50% of our real and personal property assessment.

Various items may also be subtracted in calculating a company’s capitalized earnings.

As a Maryland business corporation, Eureka Homestead Bancorp is required to file an annual report with and pay personal property taxes to the State of Maryland.

General

COVID-19 Impacts

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the governmental and societal response to the virus have negatively impacted overall economic conditions.

The Federal and state governments have worked to contain the spread of COVID-19. The result of these containment strategies has had an enormous impact on the economy and has had a negative impact on some borrowers’ ability to make timely loan payments. In recent months, a number of restrictive government initiatives designed to combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been eased on a national level and in Louisiana, as well as the rollout of three COVID-19 vaccines, allowing businesses to reopen at varying capacity levels, which has bolstered commercial activity and employment to some degree. However, another resurgence in infections and reimplementation of new and/or additional restrictions at the national and local level to combat the COVID-19 pandemic may present additional negative impacts to the economy and our customers. The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic remain impossible to predict. The Federal Reserve Board and other various regulatory agencies have issued joint guidance to financial institutions to work with borrowers affected by the coronavirus. The Company instituted a loan deferment program whereby short-term deferrals of payments were allowed. Deferred payments are due at the time the loan is paid off. As of December 31, 2021 all of the loans modified by us have resumed normal monthly payments. We did not report these loans as delinquent and continued to recognize interest income during the deferral period. No increase in the allowance for loan losses was deemed necessary on these loans. These loans will continue to be monitored to determine collectability and accrual and delinquency status will be updated as deemed appropriate.

Under Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, loans less than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 were considered current for COVID-19 modifications. A financial institution could then suspend the requirements under GAAP for loan modifications related to COVID-19 that would otherwise be categorized as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”), and suspend any determination of a loan modified as a result of COVID-19 as being a TDR, including the requirement to determine impairment for accounting purposes. Financial institutions wishing to utilize this authority were required to make a policy election, which applies to any COVID-19 modification made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of either December 31, 2020 or the 60th day after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency. Similarly, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has confirmed that short-term modifications made on a good-faith basis in response to COVID-19 to loan customers who were current prior to any relief are not TDRs. Lastly, prior to the enactment of the CARES Act, the banking regulatory agencies provided guidance as to how certain short-term modifications would not be considered TDRs, and have subsequently confirmed that such guidance could be applicable for loans that do not qualify for favorable accounting treatment under Section 4013 of the CARES Act. Based on this guidance, the Company does not believe that TDRs will significantly change as a result of the modifications granted. The full impact on our lending and other business activities as a result of new government and regulatory policies, programs and guidelines, as well as regulators’ reaction to such activities, remains uncertain.

Hurricane Ida Impacts

Overview

The significant majority of loans we originate are conforming one- to four-family residential real estate loans, and in the low interest rate environment in recent years, almost all of these loans have been long-term, fixed rate loans. In order to address our interest rate risk, in recent years we have sold a significant portion of these conforming, fixed-rate, long-term loans on an industry-standard, servicing-released basis, as well as increasing the percentage of adjustable rate residential loans in portfolio.

We offer a variety of deposit accounts, including savings accounts (passbook and money market) and certificates of deposit. We utilize advances from the FHLB for funding and asset/liability management purposes. At December 31, 2021, we had $18.2 million in advances outstanding with the FHLB.

We do not offer checking accounts which may impact our ability to attract and grow core deposits. We have always been dependent, in part, on retail certificates of deposit as a funding source for our loans, and we accept jumbo certificates of deposit through an online service, as well as municipal and brokered certificates of deposit. We have used these non-retail funding sources, as well as advances from the FHLB, to fund our loan growth. Pursuant to our business strategy, we are seeking to increase our core deposits, which we consider our savings and money market accounts and our retail certificates of deposit, by more aggressively marketing and pricing our deposit products.

For the year ended December 31, 2021 we had net income of $146,000 compared to a net loss of $103,000 for 2020, an increase of $249,000. The increase in the net income resulted primarily from increases in net interest income of $242,000 and noninterest income of $68,000, offset, in part, by a decrease in income tax benefit of $62,000.

Eureka Homestead is subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by its primary federal regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”).

Our executive and administrative office is located at 1922 Veterans Memorial Boulevard, Metairie, Louisiana 70005, and our telephone number at this address is (504) 834-0242.

Business Strategy

Our principal objective is to build long-term value for our stockholders by operating a profitable community-oriented financial institution dedicated to meeting the banking needs of our customers by emphasizing personalized and efficient customer service. Highlights of our current business strategy include:

●

Continuing to focus on one- to four-family residential real estate lending, including our practice of originating for retention in our portfolio, non-owner-occupied real estate loans. We have been, and will continue to be, primarily a one- to four-family residential real estate lender for borrowers in our market area. As of December 31, 2021, $70.9 million, or 94.0% of our total loan portfolio, consisted of one- to four-family residential real estate loans, including $8.5 million, or 11.2% of our total loan portfolio, of non-owner-occupied real estate loans. We expect that one- to four-family residential real estate lending will remain our primary lending activity.

●

Maintaining our strong asset quality through conservative loan underwriting. We intend to maintain strict, quality-oriented loan underwriting and credit monitoring processes. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had no nonperforming assets.

●

Attracting and retaining customers in our market area and increasing our “core” deposits consisting of savings accounts and retail certificates of deposit. We intend to increase the emphasis of our savings and money market accounts and retail certificates of deposits by more aggressively marketing and pricing these products, thereby decreasing our dependence on non-retail certificates of deposit.

●

Remaining a community-oriented institution and relying on high quality service to maintain and build a loyal local customer base. We were established in 1884 and have been operating continuously in the New Orleans metropolitan area since that time. Through the goodwill we have developed over years of providing timely, efficient banking services, we believe that we have been able to attract a solid base of local retail customers on which we hope to continue to build our banking business.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions that we use are based on historical experience 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.

The 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

Table of Contents

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.

The following represent our critical accounting policies:

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary to cover inherent, but unconfirmed, credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses which is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this policy as one of our most critical accounting policies.

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the allowance for loan losses. Consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change.

The analysis has two components, specific and general allowances. The specific allowance is for unconfirmed losses related to loans that are determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral, adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. If the fair value of the loan is less than the loan’s carrying value, a charge is recorded for the difference. The general allowance, which is for loans reviewed collectively, is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan, risk weighting (if applicable) and payment history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations. This analysis establishes historical loss percentages and qualitative factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessary for loans that are reviewed collectively. The qualitative component is critical in determining the allowance for loan losses as certain trends may indicate the need for changes to the allowance for loan losses based on factors beyond the historical loss history. Not incorporating a qualitative component could misstate the allowance for loan losses. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowances we have established which could result in a material negative effect on our financial results. Effective January 1, 2023, we will adopt the CECL standard for determining the amount of our allowance for credit losses, which may increase our allowance for loan and lease losses upon adoption and cause our historic allowance for loan and lease losses not to be indicative of how we will maintain our allowance for credit losses beginning January 1, 2023. Please see Note 1 - Nature of Operations, Principles of Consolidation, Use of Estimates and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies on page F-7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Fair Value Measurements. The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. We estimate the fair value of a financial instrument and any related asset impairment using a variety of valuation methods. Where financial instruments are actively traded and have quoted market prices, quoted market prices are used for fair value. When the financial instruments are not actively traded, other observable market inputs, such as quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, may be used, if available, to determine fair value. When observable market prices do not exist, we estimate fair value. These estimates are subjective in nature and imprecision in estimating these factors can impact the amount of gain or loss recorded. A more detailed description of the fair values measured at each level of the fair value

hierarchy and the methodology utilized by the Bank can be found in Note 18 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Fair Values of Financial Instruments.”

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020

Total Assets. Total assets increased $3.7 million, or 3.7%, to $103.6 million at December 31, 2021 from $99.9 million at December 31, 2020. The increase resulted primarily from increases in cash and cash equivalents of $3.4 million and net loans of $6.1 million, offset in part by decreases in interest-bearing deposits in banks of $1.7 million, investment securities available-for-sale of $721,000 and loans held-for-sale of $3.2 million.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.4 million, or 85.1%, to $7.3 million at December 31, 2021 from $4.0 million at December 31, 2020.

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Banks. Interest-bearing deposits in banks decreased $1.7 million, or 18.4%, to $7.7 million at December 31, 2021 from $9.5 million at December 31, 2020.

The net of these two balance sheet line items was an increase of $1.6 million principally due to the increase in deposits not yet deployed to make loans.

Net Loans. Net loans increased $6.1 million, or 8.7%, to $75.9 million at December 31, 2021 from $69.9 million at December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2021, one- to four-family residential real estate loans increased $4.8 million, or 7.2%, to $70.9 million from $66.1 million at December 31, 2020, multifamily loans decreased $97,000, or 3.4%, to $2.8 million from $2.9 million at December 31, 2020, commercial real estate loans increased $1.1 million, or 306.6%, to $1.5 million from $364,000 at December 31, 2020 and consumer loans increased $25,000, or 11.7%, to $239,000 from $214,000 at December 31, 2020.

The increase in net loans was due primarily to increases in commercial real estate loan participations with another local bank and in one- to four-family residential real estate loans, principally in non-conforming and construction loans earning higher interest rates than similar conforming loans, which are generally sold. The decreases in multifamily loans were due to normal repayments.

At December 31, 2021, we had $9.0 million of outstanding commitments to originate loans, all of which represented the balance of remaining funds to be disbursed on construction loans in process.

Securities Available-for Sale. Investment securities available-for-sale, consisting of government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities and SBA 7a Pools backed by real estate and equipment loans, decreased $721,000, or 11.9%, to $5.3 million at December 31, 2021 from $6.1 million at December 31, 2020 as a result of principal repayments of $1.7 million exceeding securities purchases of $1.0 million during the year.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance. At December 31, 2021, our investment in bank owned life insurance was $4.2 million, an increase of $88,000, or 2.1%, from $4.1 million at December 31, 2020. We invest in bank-owned life insurance to provide us with a funding offset for our benefit plan obligations. Bank-owned life insurance also generally provides us noninterest income that is non-taxable. Federal regulations generally limit our investment in bank-owned life insurance to 25% of our Tier 1 capital plus our allowance for loan losses. Our investment in bank-owned life insurance at December 31, 2021 was 20.8% of our Tier 1 capital plus our allowance for loan losses.

Table of Contents

Deposits. Deposits increased $4.5 million, or 8.0%, to $61.0 million at December 31, 2021 from $56.4 million at December 31, 2020. Savings accounts and money market accounts increased $1.3 million, or 45.0%, to $4.1 million at December 31, 2021 from $2.9 million at December 31, 2020. Certificates of deposit increased $3.3 million, or 6.1%, to $56.8 million at December 31, 2021 from $53.6 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in certificates of deposit resulted primarily from an increase in certificates of deposit derived from an online service of $3.2 million, from brokers of $1.9 million and from local retail depositors, offset in part by a decrease of $1.2 million of certificates of deposit from municipalities. Depending on market conditions, at times we have utilized non-retail funding sources to fund our loan origination and growth and to replace Federal Home Loan Bank advances, as well as in order to get longer-term funding not always available in the local market in to help reduce interest rate risk.

Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from December 31, 2021 total $18.8 million at December 31, 2021. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize FHLB advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.

Borrowings. Borrowings, consisting entirely of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, decreased $1.2 million or 6.3% to $18.2 million at December 31, 2021 from $19.4 million at December 31 2020 due to maturities not renewed.

Total Equity. Total equity decreased $94,000, or 0.4%, to $21.8 million at December 31, 2021 from $21.9 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease resulted primarily from the repurchase of 22,500 shares of the Company’s common stock during the year offset, in part, by the net income of $146,000 in 2021.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020

General. We had net income of $146,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to a net loss of ($103,000) for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $249,000. The increase in net income resulted from increases in net interest income of $242,000 and noninterest income of $68,000 and decreases in noninterest expense of $3,000, offset, in part, by a decreases in benefit for loan losses of $2,000 and income tax benefit of $62,000.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased $174,000, or 5.8%, to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in interest on loans receivable of $86,000, or 3.0%, interest on investment securities of $23,000, or 29.5%, and interest on interest-bearing deposits in banks of $65,000, or 79.3%. The average balance of loans increased $3.6 million, or 5.0%, to $76.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $73.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the average yield on loans decreased 29 basis points to 3.58% during 2021 from 3.87% during 2020. The average balance of investment securities increased $546,000, or 10.5%, to $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $5.2 million for the year ended December 21, 2020, while the average yield on investment securities decreased 54 basis points to 0.96% for 2021 from 1.50% for 2020. The average balance of other interest-earning assets decreased $4.1 million, or 22.9%, to $13.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $18.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the average yield on other interest-earning assets decreased 33 basis points to 0.12% for 2021 from 0.45% for 2020.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $416,000, or 26.1%, to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in interest expense on deposits of $264,000, or 26.1%, and interest expense on

Table of Contents

FHLB advances of $152,000, or 26.0%. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $5.0 million, or 8.9%, to $60.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $55.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 58 basis points to 1.23% for 2021 from 1.81% for 2020. The average balance of FHLB advances decreased $3.3 million, or 14.9%, to $19.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $22.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The average cost of these advances decreased 34 basis points to 2.28% for 2021 from 2.62% for 2020.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $242,000, or 17.4%, to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Average net interest-earning assets decreased $1.6 million year to year. This decrease was due primarily to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits year to year. Our interest rate spread increased 38 basis points to 1.44% for the year ended December 31, 2021 from 1.06% for the year ended December 31, 2020, and our net interest margin increased 25 basis points to 1.70% for the year ended December 31, 2021 from 1.45% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increases in interest rate spread and net interest margin were primarily the result of our interest-bearing liabilities repricing downward at a faster rate than our interest-earning assets.

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded no provision or credit in the provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2021 and a credit of $2,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in the credit in the provision for loan losses in 2021 compared to 2020 resulted from our analysis of the factors described in “Critical Accounting Policies – Allowance for Loan Losses.” The allowance for loan losses was $858,000, or 1.14% of total loans, at December 31, 2021, compared to $850,000, or 1.22% of total loans, at December 31, 2020. Classified (substandard, doubtful and loss) loans decreased to $0 at December 31, 2021 from $559,000 at December 31, 2020. There were no non-performing loans at December 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020. Net recoveries were $8,000 in 2021 compared to $2,000 in 2020, an increase of $6,000.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $68,000, or 7.0%, to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $975,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increases in fees on loans sold of $62,000 and service charges and other income of $10,000. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in income from life insurance of $4,000.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased $3,000, or 0.1%, to $2.5 million for 2021 from $2.5 million for 2020. The decrease was due primarily to decreases of $10,000, or 4.8%, in occupancy expense, $38,000, or 33.6%, in data processing expense, $43,000, or 21.8%, in accounting and consulting expense, $13,000, or 19.4% in legal fees, and $6,000, or 2.5% in other expenses. These decreases were offset, in part, by increases of $100,000, or 6.4%, in salaries and employee benefits, primarily from increased commissions paid on higher loan volume in 2021, $1,000 or 1.5% in FDIC deposit insurance premiums, and $6,000, or 7.3% in insurance expense.

In future periods, if we make additional grants of awards under our equity incentive plan, which was approved by our stockholders, we would expect our noninterest expense to increase due to increased compensation expenses.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $62,000 to an expense of $0 compared to a benefit of $62,000 for 2020. We had no income tax expense in 2021 due to the utilization of net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards from prior years. The benefit in 2020 resulted from the net loss before income tax expense in 2020 and the refund of prior year income taxes as allowed by the CARES Act. We have remaining net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of $1.8 million which have no expiration date. At this time we believe that it is more likely than not that the benefit from a portion of the NOL carryforwards will

not be realized within a reasonable time period to offset the amount of tax net operating losses which are the principal cause of our deferred tax asset.

Average balances and yields. The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information at and for the years indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees/costs, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense.

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:

●

selling a significant portion of our conforming, long-term, fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loan originations and retaining the non-conforming, construction and shorter-term, fixed-rate and adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans that we originate, subject to market conditions and periodic review of our asset/liability management needs;

●

trying to reduce our dependence on non-retail certificates of deposit and borrowings to support lending and investment activities and increasing our reliance on our savings accounts and money market accounts, which are less interest rate sensitive than certificates of deposit;

Table of Contents

●

lengthening the weighted average maturity of our liabilities through longer-term funding sources such as fixed-rate advances from the FHLB with terms to maturity of up to 10 years;

●

utilizing a rate lock program for loans that we originate for sale and selling loans pursuant to best efforts delivery contracts to eliminate warehouse and pipeline risk; and

●

holding relatively short-duration, adjustable rate, highly liquid investment securities.

Our board of directors is responsible for the review and oversight of our executive management team and other essential operational staff which are responsible for our asset/liability analysis. These officers act as an asset/liability committee and are charged with developing and implementing an asset/liability management plan, and generally meet monthly to review pricing and liquidity needs and assess our interest rate risk. We currently utilize a third-party modeling program, prepared on a quarterly basis, to evaluate our sensitivity to changing interest rates, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors.

We do not engage in hedging activities, such as engaging in futures, options or swap transactions, or investing in high-risk mortgage derivatives, such as collateralized mortgage obligation residual interests, real estate mortgage investment conduit residual interests or stripped mortgage backed securities.

Economic Value of Equity and Changes in Net Interest Income. We monitor interest rate risk through the use of a simulation model that estimates the amounts by which the fair value of our assets and liabilities (our economic value of equity or “EVE”) would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. The quarterly reports developed in the simulation model assist us in identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling interest rate risk to ensure compliance within our policy guidelines.

The table below sets forth, as of December 31, 2021, the estimated changes in our EVE that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in market interest rates. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

(1)	Assumes an instantaneous uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.

(2)	EVE 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)	NPV Ratio represents NPV divided by the present value of assets.

Table of Contents

The table above indicates that at December 31, 2021, in the event of a 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would have experienced a 19.58% increase in EVE. In the event of a 200 basis point increase in interest rates at December 31, 2021, we would have experienced a 20.01% decrease in EVE.

In addition to modeling changes to our EVE, we also analyze estimated changes to net interest income (“NII”) for a prospective twelve-month period under the interest rate scenarios set forth above. The following tables set forth our NII model as of December 31, 2021.


			Increase (Decrease)
Change in Interest Rates	Estimated Net Interest		in Estimated Net

(Dollars in thousands)

—		1,909	—
(100)		1,795	(5.97)
(200)		1,699	(11.00)

(1)	The calculated changes assume an immediate shock of the static yield curve.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurement. Modeling changes in EVE and NII 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. In this regard, the EVE and NII tables presented 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. Accordingly, although the EVE and NII tables provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on EVE and NII and will differ from actual results.

EVE and NII 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 describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, proceeds from the sale of loans, and proceeds from maturities of securities. We also have the ability to borrow from the FHLB. At December 31, 2021, we had $18.2 million outstanding in advances from the FHLB, and had the capacity to borrow approximately an additional $18.3 million from the FHLB and an additional $6.6 million on a line of credit with First National Bankers Bank at this date.

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.

Table of Contents

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $3.4 million and ($2.1 million) for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities, which consisted primarily of net change in loans receivable, net change in interest-bearing deposits and net change in investment securities, was ($3.6 million) and $502,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities, consisting primarily of and the activity in deposit accounts and FHLB advances, was $3.6 million and ($6.3 million) for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

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

At December 31, 2021, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements with a Tier 1 leverage capital level of $19.5 million, or 18.72% of adjusted total assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $5.2 million, or 5.00%; and total risk-based capital of $20.1 million, or 39.49% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $5.1 million, or 10.00%. At December 31, 2020, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements with a Tier 1 leverage capital level of $19.1 million, or 18.94% of adjusted total assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $5.0 million, or 5.0%; and total risk-based capital of $19.7 million, or 43.41% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $4.5 million, or 10.0%. Accordingly, Eureka Homestead was categorized as well-capitalized at December 31, 2021 and 2020. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change our category.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments. Information about our off-balance sheet commitments may be found in Item 8 of this report in Notes 15 and 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of the impact of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1 of the notes to our financial statements beginning on page F-7 of this annual report. On January 1, 2023 we will adopt the CECL standard for determining the amount of our allowance for credit losses, which we may increase our allowance for loan and lease losses upon adoption and cause our historic allowance for loan and lease losses not to be indicative of how we will maintain our allowance for credit losses beginning January 1, 2023.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and related data presented herein 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 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 of 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.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eureka Homestead Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.

Eureka Homestead Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTC Pink Marketplace – ERKH) was formed to serve as the stock holding company for Eureka Homestead (the “Bank”) upon completion of its mutual-to-stock conversion. The conversion was effective July 9, 2019. In connection with the conversion, the Company sold 1,429,676 shares of its common stock, including 114,374 shares purchased by the Bank’s employee stock ownership plan, at a price of $10.00 per share.

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in these financial statements to “we, “us”, “our”, “Company” and “Bank” refer collectively to Eureka Homestead Bancorp, Inc. and Eureka Homestead on a consolidated basis or to any of those entities, depending on the context.

The Bank is a federal stock savings association subject to regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company conducts lending and deposit-taking activities from two locations in the New Orleans, Louisiana area. The Company provides service to customers in the New Orleans and surrounding areas. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and conform to general practices within the industry.

The Company’s loan portfolio consists mainly of loans to homeowners; however, the Company's loan portfolio does include loans secured by non-residential real estate. The majority of loans are secured by first mortgages on area real estate and are expected to be repaid from the cash flow of the borrower. Some of the activities upon which the economy of the New Orleans area is dependent include the petrochemical industry, the port of New Orleans and economic activity along that region of the Mississippi River, healthcare and tourism. Significant declines in these activities and the general economic conditions in the Company's market areas could affect the borrower’s ability to repay loans and cause a decline in value of the assets securing the loan portfolio.

The Company’s operations are subject to customary business risks associated with activities of a financial institution. Some of those risks include competition from other institutions and changes in local or national economic conditions, interest rates and regulatory requirements.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 include the Company and the Bank, together referred to as the Company. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans, the valuation of other real estate acquired, the valuation of deferred tax assets, other than temporary impairments of securities and the fair value of financial instruments.

The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on loans, management obtains independent appraisals for significant collateral.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the estimated losses on loans. Such agencies may have judgments different than management’s and we may determine to adjust our allowance as a result of these regulatory reviews. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the estimated losses on loans may change in the near term. However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.

Investment Securities

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 320, Investments, requires the classification of securities as trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity. Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates this classification periodically.

Securities classified as available-for-sale are equity securities with readily determinable fair values and those debt securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available-for-sale would be based on various factors, including significant movement in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Company’s assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. These securities are carried at estimated fair value based on information provided by a third party pricing service with any unrealized gains or losses excluded from net income and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), which is reported as a separate component of equity, net of the related deferred tax effect.

Investment securities and mortgage-backed securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost.

Investment securities and mortgage-backed securities that are bought and held by the Company primarily for the purpose of selling them in the near future are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings. The Company did not have any trading or held-to-maturity securities at December 2021 or 2020.

F-8

Table of Contents

Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security, adjusted for anticipated prepayments, as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment and, accordingly, actual maturities could differ from contractual maturities. Interest income is recognized when earned. Gains and losses from the sale of securities are included in earnings when realized and are determined using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.

Declines in the fair value of individual investment securities below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. The written down amount then becomes the security’s new cost basis. The related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Loans Receivable

The Company grants real estate mortgage and consumer loans to customers. Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for unearned income, the allowance for loan losses, and any unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and premiums or discounts on purchased loans. When principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more, the Company evaluates the loan for nonaccrual status.

Uncollectible interest on loans that are contractually past due is charged-off, or an allowance is established based on management's periodic evaluation. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued, and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received until, in management's judgment, the borrower has the ability to make timely periodic interest and principal payments, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status.

Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net fee or cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest income using the interest method over the contractual life of the loans, adjusted for actual prepayments. Amortization of net deferred fees or costs is discontinued for the loans that are deemed to be non-performing. Additionally, the unamortized net fees or costs are recognized in income when loans are paid-off.

Loans Held-for-Sale

Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. For these loans, gains and losses on loan sales are recorded in noninterest income, and direct loan origination costs and fees are deferred at origination of the loan and are recognized in noninterest income upon sale of the loan.

Impaired Loans

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance of FASB ASC 310-10-35-16, Receivables, when based on current information and events it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual

F-9

Table of Contents

terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price of the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The portion of increase in present value of the expected future cash flows of impaired loans that is attributable to the passage of time is reported as interest income. A change in the present value of the expected future cash flows related to impaired loans is reported as an increase or decrease in provision for loan losses.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which is considered to be adequate to reflect estimated credit losses associated with specifically identified loans, as well as estimated probable credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is determined based on consideration and assessment of the various credit risk characteristics of the loans that comprise the loan portfolio in accordance with FASB ASC 450, Contingencies, for pools of loans and FASB ASC 310, Receivables, for individually impaired loans.

Management evaluates the allowance for loan losses to assess the risk of loss in the loan portfolio and to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. For purposes of this evaluation, loans are aggregated into pools based on various characteristics. Some of those characteristics include payment status, concentrations, and loan to collateral value and the financial status of borrowers. The allowance allocated to each of these pools is based on historical charge-off rates, adjusted for changes in the credit risk characteristics within these pools, as determined from current information and analyses. In determining the appropriate level of the allowance, management also ensures that the overall allowance appropriately reflects current macroeconomic conditions, industry exposure and a margin for the imprecision inherent in most estimates of expected credit losses. In addition to these factors, management also considers the following for each segment of the loan portfolio when determining the allowance:

• Residential mortgages - This category consists of loans secured by first and junior liens on residential real estate. The performance of these loans may be adversely affected by unemployment rates, local residential real estate market conditions and the interest rate environment.

• Commercial real estate - This category consists of loans primarily secured by office buildings, and retail shopping facilities. The performance of commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions specific to the relevant industry, the real estate market for the property type and geographic region where the property or borrower is located.

• Construction and land - This category consists of loans to finance the ground-up construction and/or improvement of construction of residential and commercial properties and loans secured by land. The performance of construction and land loans is generally dependent upon the successful completion of improvements and/or land development for the end user, the sale of the property to a third party, or a

F-10

Table of Contents

secondary source of cash flow from the owners. The successful completion of planned improvements and development maybe adversely affected by changes in the estimated property value upon completion of construction, projected costs and other conditions leading to project delays.

• Multi-family residential - This category consists of loans secured by apartment or residential buildings with five or more units used to accommodate households on a temporary or permanent basis. The performance of multi-family loans is generally dependent on the receipt of rental income from the tenants who occupy the subject property. The occupancy rate of the subject property and the ability of the tenants to pay rent may be adversely affected by the location of the subject property and local economic conditions.

• Consumer - This category consists of loans to individuals for household, family and other personal use. The performance of these loans may be adversely affected by national and local economic conditions, unemployment rates and other factors affecting the borrower's income available to service the debt. All of our consumer loans are secured by our customers’ savings accounts and/or certificates of deposit.

As a result of the uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, management’s estimate of loan losses and the related allowance could change in the near term.

Based on management’s periodic evaluation of the allowance for loan losses, a provision for loan losses is charged to operations if additions to the allowance are required. Actual loan charge-offs are deducted from the allowance and subsequent recoveries of previously charged-off loans are added to the allowance.

Other Real Estate

Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. Any write-downs at the time of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Costs relating to development and improvement of property are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding property are expensed. At December 31, 2021 and 2020 there was no other real estate.

Subsequent to acquisition, valuations are periodically performed by management to report these assets at the lower of fair value less costs to sell or cost. Any adjustments resulting from these periodic re-evaluations of property are reflected in a valuation allowance and charged to income.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Buildings, leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, respectively. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on the straight-line basis and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from 3 to 39 years. Expenditures for improvements, which extend the life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life. Gains or losses realized on the disposition of properties and equipment are reflected in the statements of (loss) income. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operating expenses as incurred.

Life Insurance

The Company purchased life insurance on certain employees and directors of the Company. Appreciation in value of the insurance policies is included in noninterest income.

F-11

Advertising

The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $15,000 for both years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is included in other non-interest expenses.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax guidance of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, and has adopted the recent accounting guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which sets forth a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions.

The income tax guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the difference between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.

Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more likely than not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management's judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company evaluates all significant tax positions as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company does not believe that it has taken any positions that would require the recording of any additional tax liability nor does it believe that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase or decrease within the next year.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016. Any interest and penalties assessed by income taxing authorities are not significant and are included in non-interest expense in these financial statements.

Comprehensive Income

The Company reports comprehensive income in accordance with the accounting guidance related to FASB ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. FASB ASC 220 establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes net unrealized gains (losses) on securities and is presented, net of tax, in the statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, due from banks and deposits with the FHLB. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less (excluding interest-bearing deposits in banks) to be cash equivalents.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company records revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under Topic 606, the Company must identify the contract with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Significant revenue has not been recognized in the current reporting period that results from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

The Company’s primary sources of revenue are derived from interest, dividends and fees earned on loans, investment securities, and other financial instruments that are not within the scope of Topic 606. The Company has evaluated the nature of its contracts with customers and determined that further disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers into more granular categories beyond what is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) was not necessary. The Company generally fully satisfies its performance obligations on its contracts with customers as services are rendered and the transaction prices are fixed. The Company has made no significant judgments in applying the revenue guidance prescribed in ASC 606 that affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications may have been made to the 2020 financial statements to conform with the 2021 financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss) or retained earnings as previously reported.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). For as long as the Company is an emerging growth company, it may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies. An emerging growth company may elect to use the extended transition period to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies, but must make such election when the company is first required to file a registration statement. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period described above and intends to maintain its emerging growth company status as allowed under the JOBS Act.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), Conforming Amendments Related to Leases. This ASU amends the codification regarding leases in order to increase transparency and comparability. The ASU requires companies to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the statement of condition and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. A lessee would recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the leased asset for the lease

term. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments introduce an impairment model that is based on expected credit losses (“ECL”), rather than incurred losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments (eg. loans and held to maturity securities), including certain off-balance sheet financial instruments (eg. commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit that are not unconditionally cancellable). The ECL should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments, over the contractual term. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics may be grouped together when estimating the ECL. The ASU also amends the current available for sale security impairment model for debt securities whereby credit losses relating to available for sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. For an emerging growth company, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The amendments will be applied through a modified retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Company is currently planning for the implementation of this accounting standard. It is too early to assess the impact this ASU will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods with those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adopting permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and in January 2021, issued an update ASU 2021-01. The ASUs provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or derecognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. Specifically, the amendments provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These relate only to those contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASUs became effective March 12, 2020 and can be adopted anytime during the period of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance. There are only two relationships that have LIBOR pricing with a maturity date beyond December 31, 2022. The loan documentation for the relationships contain language for an alternative pricing index when LIBOR is no longer available.

Note 2 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) represents income available or loss attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding; no dilution for any potentially convertible shares is included in the calculation. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. The potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options.

Earnings per common share were computed based on the following:

Management evaluates securities for other-than temporary impairment on a periodic and regular basis, as well as when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation as described in Note 1 to these financial statements. No declines at December 31, 2021 and 2020, were deemed to be other-than-temporary.

In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the federal government or its agencies issued the securities, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial statements.

The performing mortgage loans are pledged, under a blanket lien, as collateral securing advances from the FHLB at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Management segregates the loan portfolio into portfolio segments which is defined as the level at which the Company develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for loan losses. The portfolio segments are segregated based on loan types and the underlying risk factors present in each loan type. Such risk factors are periodically reviewed by management and revised as deemed appropriate. The following tables set forth, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the balance of the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment, disaggregated by impairment methodology, which is then further segregated by amounts evaluated for impairment collectively and individually. The allowance for loan losses allocated to each portfolio segment is not necessarily indicative of future losses in any particular portfolio segment and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in other portfolio segments.

Table of Contents

Management further disaggregates the loan portfolio segments into classes of loans, which are based on the initial measurement of the loan, risk characteristics of the loan and the method for monitoring and assessing the credit risk of the loan.

Loan Grades / Classification

The primary purpose of grading loans is to assess credit quality and assist in identifying potential problem loans. Every loan in the portfolio is assigned a loan grade based on quality and level of risk. Loan grades are updated as events occur that bear on the collectability of the loan, such as change in payment flow or status of the obligor or collateral. Changes in loan grades are reported to the Board Loan Committee.

Each credit reviewed is assigned a loan grade based on the following system:

Loan Grade 1Pass – Good

Loans with no identified problems and do not require more than normal attention. The repayment source is well defined and the borrower/guarantor exhibits no inability of repaying the loan as agreed. The financial information is acceptable and the loan meets credit and policy requirements and exhibits no unusual elements of risk. The collateral is acceptable and adequate.

Loan Grade 2Pass – Fair

These are performing owner-occupied loans that exhibit diminished borrower capacity, such as sufficiently-aged Troubled Debt Restructurings or loans that are frequently delinquent more than 30 days but less than 60 days. Also included are performing investor loans with a good payment record but lack updated financial information but are judged from alternate sources to have satisfactory cash flows and a sufficiently strong guarantor.

Loan Grade 3Watch

Owner-occupied loans that are well-secured but are occasionally delinquent more than 60 days but less than 90. Also included are performing investor loans lacking required current financial information or that demonstrate diminished guarantor capacity and an estimated stressed debt service coverage ratio of less than 1.20.

Loan Grade 4Special Mention (For investment loans only.)

Investment loans that have potential or identified weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. These loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Default is not imminent.

Adverse Classifications

Loan Grade 5Substandard

A loan that is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledge, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company

F-19

Table of Contents

will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified substandard.

Loan Grade 6Doubtful

A loan that has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonable specific pending factors which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.

The Company seeks to assist customers that are experiencing financial difficulty by renegotiating loans within lending regulations and guidelines. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the concessions granted to certain borrowers included extending the payment due dates. Once modified in a trouble debt restructuring, a loan is generally considered impaired until its contractual maturity. At the time of the restructuring, the loan is evaluated for an asset-specific allowance for credit losses. The Company continues to specifically reevaluate the loan in subsequent periods, regardless of the borrower’s performance under the modified terms. If a borrower subsequently defaults on the loan after it is restructured, the Company provides an allowance for credit losses for the amount of the loan that exceeds the value of the related collateral.

The Company had no troubled debt restructurings that defaulted subsequent to the restructuring through the date the financial statements were issued.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company modified 73 mortgage loans, with an aggregate balance of $15.6 million, in each case related to a hardship caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and responses thereto. The Company worked with borrowers and provided modifications in the form of principal, interest and escrow deferral, in each case, for initial periods of up to 90 days. The deferred

F-22

Table of Contents

payments will be collected at the original maturity date or at the time the loan is ultimately paid off. As necessary, the Company made available a second 90 day principal, interest and escrow deferral bringing the total potential deferral period to six months. Modifications were structured in a manner to best address each individual customer's current situation. These modifications are excluded from TDR classification under Section 4013 of the CARES Act or under applicable interagency guidance of the federal banking regulators. Modified loans are considered current and will continue to accrue interest during the deferral period.

As of December 31, 2021, all of the modified loans have resumed normal monthly payments (48), been paid off (24) or paid the entire deferred amounts (1). The Company has received no requests for additional deferrals.

On August 29, 2021, Hurricane Ida made landfall in southeast Louisiana between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. The Company did not sustain any significant damage to its locations, and our employees had no significant issues. Banking locations in the impacted markets closed as necessary prior to the hurricane's landfall and in our immediate market area in and around Metairie, Eureka Homestead and many banks, temporarily closed these office locations. We immediately staffed our disaster recovery location in Baton Rouge for five days after the hurricane made landfall and re-opened our main office in Metairie and our loan production office in New Orleans after five days. We assessed the impact from the hurricane on our customers and only one borrower sustained significant damage to the collateral securing a loan with a balance of $403,000. We granted the borrower a three-month deferral in September 2021. The collateral is adequately insured and to our knowledge, the borrower is making necessary repairs to the property. The borrower resumed normal payments in December 2021.

The Company is closely monitoring all loans that received deferrals. As additional information becomes available, management will continue to evaluate these loans to ensure appropriate risk classification.

Prior to 2020, a corporation could carry forward net operating losses generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 indefinitely and could offset up to 80% of taxable income. To provide financial assistance and liquidity to taxpayers during the COVID-19 pandemic, the CARES Act amended the

F-24

Table of Contents

federal income tax rules with regard to the usage of net operating losses (“NOLs”) for corporate taxpayers. The CARES Act allows for the carryback of losses arising in a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2021, to be carried back to each of the five taxable years preceding the taxable year of the loss. The CARES Act also temporarily repeals the 80% limitation for NOLs arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and beginning before January 1, 2021 and carried to another tax year. These NOLs are now permitted to fully offset the loss corporation’s pre-2021 taxable income. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, Eureka Homestead Bancorp and Subsidiary generated $195,000 and $182,000 federal net operating losses, respectively. The 2020 and prior year losses were available to carry back to previous tax years generating a refund of $62,000 recorded in 2020, and the remaining amounts totaling $1.8 million are available for future use. Although these net operating loss carryforwards have no expiration date, we believe that it is more likely than not that the benefit from a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards will not be realized within a reasonable time period. In recognition of this risk, we have provided a valuation adjustment of $246,000 on the deferred tax asset related to these net operating loss carryforwards. If or when recognized, the tax benefits related to any reversal of the valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset will be accounted for as a reduction of income tax expense and an increase in equity. Neither Eureka Homestead nor Eureka Homestead Bancorp generated any net operating loss carryforwards for Louisiana.

Retained earnings at December 31, 2021 and 2020, include approximately $3,986,000 for which no deferred income tax liability has been recognized. These amounts represent an allocation of income to bad debt deductions for tax purposes only. Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than tax bad debt losses or adjustments arising from carry back of net operating losses would create income for tax purposes only, which would be subject to the then current corporate income tax rate. The unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the above amount was approximately $837,000 at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The Small Business Protection Act of 1996 repealed Internal Revenue Code Section 593, which had allowed thrifts to use the percentage of income method as an alternative for computing their tax bad debt deductions. This act required small thrifts to change their method of computing reserves for bad debts to the experience method in accordance with the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 585. The repeal was effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1995. The Company implemented this change for the year ended December 31, 1996. As a result of the change, the Company is required to recapture the excess of the thrift’s qualifying and non-qualifying bad debt reserves as of December 31, 1995 over its contracted base year reserves. The Company had no excess amounts subject to recapture.

In management’s opinion, the reversal of temporary differences and the results of the future operations will generate sufficient earnings to realize the deferred tax assets at December 31, 2021 after taking into account the valuation reserves.

The Company also has an unsecured federal funds agreement with FNBB for $6.6 million at a rate to be determined by FNBB when borrowed. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no federal funds purchased.

Note 11 - Employee Benefit Plans -

401(k) Plan

The Company sponsors a 401(k) profit sharing plan. Substantially all employees 21 years of age or older who have at least six months of service and have worked 1,000 hours during the year may participate in the plan through salary deferral contributions subject to the plan provisions. The Company makes matching contributions based on a percentage of each participant’s contribution and may also make discretionary contributions to the plan. The Company matched 100% of the participant’s salary deferral contribution up to 3% and 50% of the participant’s salary deferral contribution of the next 2% of the participant’s annual compensation for 2021 and 2020. The Company’s contributions to the plan were approximately $62,000 and $49,000 for 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Pension Plan

The Company sponsors a defined contribution pension plan. Substantially all employees 21 years of age or older who have at least one year of service and are employed on the last day of the year may participate in the plan. The Company contributed 5.4% of the participant’s annual compensation to the plan for 2021 and 2020. The Company’s contributions to the plan were approximately $98,000 and $83,000 for 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The employees vest in the employer’s contributions 20% a year after the first year in the plans and are fully vested at the completion of six years of service. The maximum combined employer contribution to both the 401(k) plan and the pension plan is 25% of the total annual compensation paid to each participant.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

As part of the Company's stock conversion in 2019, an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") for eligible employees was established. The leveraged ESOP is accounted for in accordance with the

F-27

Table of Contents

requirements of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. All employees of the Bank meeting certain tenure requirements are entitled to participate in the ESOP.

Shares were purchased by the ESOP with a loan from Eureka Homestead Bancorp, Inc. The ESOP acquired 114,374 shares of the Company's common stock in the conversion. During each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, 4,575 shares were allocated to ESOP plan participants, leaving 100,649 unallocated shares in the ESOP at December 31, 2021. Compensation expense related to the ESOP was $61,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $48,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The stock price at the formation date was $10.00. The aggregate fair value of the 100,649 unallocated shares was $1,404,000 based on the $13.95 closing price of the common stock on December 31, 2021.

Under ASC 718, unearned ESOP shares are not considered outstanding and are shown as a reduction of stockholders' equity as unearned compensation. Dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are considered to be compensation expense. 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 Company's ESOP shares differ from the cost of such shares, the differential is credited to stockholders' equity. The Company receives a tax deduction equal to the cost of the shares released. As the loan is internally leveraged, the loan receivable from the ESOP to the Company is not reported as an asset nor is the debt of the ESOP shown as a Company liability.

The compensation expense resulting from the release of the common stock from the suspense account and allocation to plan participants results in a corresponding reduction in the earnings of Eureka Homestead Bancorp.

Equity Incentive Plan

In August 2020, the Company's stockholders authorized the adoption of the 2020 Eureka Homestead Bancorp, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan” or the “Plan”). No more than 200,154 shares of the Company's common stock may be issued under the Plan, of which a maximum of 142,967 may be issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options and 57,187 may be issued pursuant to restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and unrestricted share awards. Stock options awarded to employees may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. The shares that may be issued may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The Plan permits the grant of incentive awards in the form of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted share and share unit awards, and performance share awards. The 2020 Plan contains limits on certain types of awards to individual participants.

Awards may vest or become exercisable only upon the achievement of performance measures or based solely on the passage of time after award. Stock options and restricted stock awards provide for accelerated vesting upon death, disability or if there is an involuntary termination of service following a change in control (as defined in the Plan).

On December 21, 2021, the Company made a grant of restricted shares for 3,225 shares, to a member of Management. The award vests over a three-year period.

Table of Contents

Restricted Shares

Restricted shares are accounted for as fixed grants using the fair value of the Company's stock at the time of the grant. Unvested restricted shares may not be disposed of or transferred during the vesting period.

The table below presents the restricted stock award activity for the period shown:


		Weighted Average
	Restricted	Fair Value at
	Stock Awards	Grant Date
Non-vested at January 1, 2021	—	$	—
Granted	3,225		13.95
Vested	—		—
Forfeited	—		—
Non-vested at December 31, 2021	3,225	$	13.95

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $45,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted shares, having recognized $0 of compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2021. The cost of the restricted shares will be amortized in monthly installments over the three-year vesting period

Other Retirement Agreements

The Company has entered into retirement agreements with certain directors. Under the director agreements, after ten years in the plan and attaining the age of 75, the Company is to provide to each director the sum of $120,000 payable over a period of 10 years. (This benefit would be paid to the director’s beneficiaries in a lump sum upon the director’s death.).

The estimated present value of future benefits to be paid is being accrued over the period from the effective date of the agreements until the dates payments are expected to expire. The expense incurred for this plan for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, amounted to approximately $31,000 and $35,000, respectively. The accrued liability at December 31, 2021 and 2020, amounted to approximately $310,000 and $312,000, respectively.

The Company is the beneficiary of life insurance policies, with death benefits totaling approximately $7,210,000 and $7,192,000 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively that have been purchased as a method of financing benefits under the agreements.

Split Dollar Life Insurance

The Company entered into a split dollar life insurance agreement on March 1, 2019 with each of Messrs. Haskins and Heintzen to recognize the valuable services of the executives and to encourage them to continue in service with the Company. The split-dollar agreements divide the death proceeds of certain life insurance policies owned by the Company on the lives of the executives with their designated beneficiaries. The Company paid the life insurance premiums on the policies from its general assets. Under the agreements, Messrs. Haskins and Heintzen or their assignees have the right to designate the beneficiary an amount of death proceeds. Upon either executive’s death, his beneficiary will be entitled to a benefit equal to the lesser of $700,000 or the net death proceeds from the policies. The net death proceeds portion is the total death proceeds paid under the policy less the greater of the policy’s cash surrender value or the aggregate premiums paid by the Company on the policy. Each executive’s interest

Note 13 - Regulatory Matters -

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by its primary Federal regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank and the financial statements. Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory reporting requirements. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification under the prompt corrective action guidelines 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 Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios as of January 1, 2015, of total capital, tier 1 capital, and common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and leverage capital, which is tier 1 capital to adjusted average total assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, that the Bank meets all the capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the most recent notifications from the OCC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To remain categorized as well capitalized, the Bank will have to maintain minimum total capital, common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital, and leveraged capital ratios as disclosed in the table below. There are no conditions or events

Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies –

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has various outstanding commitments that are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The principal commitments of the Company are as follows:

Lease Commitments

In 2009, the Company entered into an operating lease pertaining to property used for a loan production office. The lease had an original term of three years, beginning April 15, 2009 and expiring March 31, 2012, with the option to extend the lease for six additional three-year periods. The Company exercised this option through March 31, 2024.

Total rental expense was approximately $52,000 and $48,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The future minimum rental commitments under the operating lease at December 31, 2021 relating to the loan production office are as follows:


Year Ended December 31,	Amount

2022	$	53
2023		53
2024		13
Total Minimum Payments Required	$	119

Note 16 - Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk -

In the normal course of business, the Company has outstanding commitments, such as commitments to extend credit, which are not included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making such commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the Balance Sheets.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Company evaluates each customer’s

F-32

Table of Contents

creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation.

At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $9.0 million and $2.0 million of outstanding commitments to originate loans, respectively, all of which represent the balance of remaining funds to be disbursed on construction loans in process. In recent years we have sold loans on an industry-standard, servicing-released basis. At December 31, 2021, there were mortgage loans sold to investors with limited recourse for certain periods after the date of sale totaling $7.9 million at the sale date. Recourse would apply if the borrower(s) default on any payment within the first four months of the mortgage loan and it remains in default for a period of 90 days, or if the mortgage loan prepays in full within 180 days of the sale date. Should an early payment default occur, the Company shall, at its sole discretion, repurchase such mortgage loan from the purchaser at its current amortized balance plus the service release premium received or indemnify the purchaser by paying the service release premium received plus $5,000. Should a mortgage loan prepay in full within 180 days of the sale date, the Company shall refund to the purchaser the servicing release premium paid. There have been no mortgage loans sold that had an early payment default or that prepaid in full during the recourse period.

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management and counsel, the disposition or ultimate resolution of such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.

Note 17 - Significant Concentration of Credit Risk –

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) provides insurance coverage under defined limits. The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions which may periodically exceed the federally insured amount.

Most of the Company’s lending activity is represented by loans receivable secured principally by first mortgages on real estate located within Louisiana. Additionally, the substantial portion of the real estate upon which the Company has extended credit is on residential properties; however, the Company has extended credit on non-residential properties.

Note 18 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments -

Fair Value Disclosures

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based on quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments.

In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The fair value accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to

F-33

Table of Contents

unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under this guidance are described below.

Level 1 - Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 - Level 2 inputs are 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 the following:

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, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers (for example, some brokered markets), or in which little information is released publicly (for example, a principal-to principal market);

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates); and

Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).

Level 3 - Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Therefore, unobservable inputs shall reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). Unobservable inputs shall be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include the reporting entity's own data.

However, the reporting entity's own data used to develop unobservable inputs shall be adjusted if information is reasonably available without undue cost and effort that indicates that market participants would use different assumptions.

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Recurring Basis

Fair values of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities were primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. This pricing service provides information by utilizing evaluated pricing models supported with market data information. Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data from market research publications.

F-34

Table of Contents

The following tables present the balances of assets measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company did not record any liabilities at fair value for which measurement of the fair value was made on a recurring basis.

Non-recurring Basis

The Company has segregated all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date in the table below. The Company did not record any liabilities at fair value for which measurement of the fair value was made on a non-recurring basis.

The fair value of the impaired loans is measured at the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Impaired loans are Level 2 assets measured using appraisals from external parties of the collateral less any prior liens. Repossessed assets are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell. The fair value of repossessed assets is based on property appraisals and an analysis of similar properties available. As such, the Company records repossessed assets as Level 2.

FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. The derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated through comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. FASB ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Further, the disclosures do not include estimated fair values for items which are not financial instruments but which represent significant value to the Company, including core deposit intangibles and other fee-generating operations of the business. Reasonable comparability of fair value estimates between financial institutions may not be possible due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous assumptions involved. The aggregate fair value amounts presented do not, and are not intended to, represent an aggregate measure of the underlying fair value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents - For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Interest-Bearing Deposits - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment Securities (including mortgage-backed securities) - For investment securities, including mortgage-backed securities, fair value equals quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Loans - The fair value of loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using the interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Loans Held-for-Sale - The loans held-for sale are recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or market value which is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

FHLB Stock - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable - The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximate the fair values.

F-36

Table of Contents

Deposits - The fair value of savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (carrying value). The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Advances from the FHLB - The fair values of the Advances from the FHLB are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Loan Commitments - For commitments to extend credit, fair value considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):


	December 31, 2021				December 31, 2020
	Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair

Accrued Interest Payable		51		51		69		69

The carrying amounts in the preceding table are included in the balance sheet under the applicable captions; accrued interest payable is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of the Company’s financial instruments with off balance sheet risk are disclosed in Note 16.

Note 19 - Subsequent Events -

Management has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through March 23, 2022, the date the financial statements were issued.

The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2020 (“COVID-19”) has adversely impacted a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and potentially impaired their ability to fulfill their obligations to the Company. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic indicating that almost all public commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections.

The spread of the outbreak has caused disruptions in the U.S. economy and is highly likely to disrupt banking and other financial activity in the areas in which the Company operates and could potentially create widespread business continuity issues for the Company. The full impact on our lending and other business activities as a result of new government and regulatory policies, programs and guidelines, as well as regulators’ reaction to such activities, remains uncertain.

Table of Contents

In February and March 2022, the Company repurchased an additional 55,000 of its common shares for $804,000.

Note 20 – Change in Corporate Form -

On July 9, 2019, Eureka Homestead (the “Bank”) converted to a federal stock savings and loan association and established a stock holding company, Eureka Homestead Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), as parent of the Bank.

In connection with the conversion, the Bank issued of all of its common stock to the Company, becoming the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company issued and sold shares of its capital stock pursuant to an independent valuation appraisal of the Bank and the Company. The stock was priced at $10.00 per share. In addition, the Bank’s board of directors adopted an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) which subscribed for 8% of the common stock sold in the offering. The Conversion was completed on July 9, 2020 and resulted in the issuance of 1,429,676 common shares by the Company. The cost of the Conversion and issuing the capital stock totaled $1.2 million and was deducted from the proceeds of the offering.

In accordance with OCC regulations, at the time of the Conversion, the Bank substantially restricted retained earnings by establishing a liquidation account. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after the Conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation by the Bank, and only in such event, each eligible account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held. The Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.

The Conversion was accounted for as a change in corporate form with the historic basis of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and equity unchanged as a result.

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).” Based on such assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective, based on those criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. As the Company is a non-accelerated filer, management’s report is not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act that permit the Company to provide only the management’s report in this annual report.
