Overview
Net Interest Income. Our primary source of income is net interest income. Net
interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income
we earn on our loans and investments, and interest expense, which is the
interest we pay on our deposits and borrowings.
Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation
allowance for probable incurred credit losses. The allowance for loan losses is
increased through charges to the provision for loan losses. Loans are charged
against the allowance when management believes that the collectability of the
principal loan amount is not probable. Recoveries on loans previously
charged-off, if any, are credited to the allowance for loan losses when
realized.
29
Table of Contents
Non-interest Income. Our primary sources of non-interest income are mortgage
banking income, service charges on deposit accounts and net gains in the cash
surrender value of bank owned life insurance. Other sources of non-interest
income include net gain or losses on sales and calls of securities, net gain or
loss on disposal of foreclosed assets and other income.
Non-Interest Expenses. Our non-interest expenses consist of salaries and
employee benefits, net occupancy and equipment, data processing and office,
professional fees, marketing expenses and other general and administrative
expenses, including premium payments we make to the
Provision for Income Taxes. Our income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in conformity withU.S. GAAP. 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 significant 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. In 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. 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 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 significant accounting policies:
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses established as losses
is estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to
earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes
the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if
any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and
is based upon management's periodic review of the collectability of the loans in
light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio,
adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated
value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This
evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are
susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated
component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that
are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash
flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is
lower than the carrying value of that loan. General components cover
non-impaired loans and are based on historical loss rates for each portfolio
segment, adjusted for the effects of qualitative or environmental factors that
are likely to cause estimated credit losses as of the evaluation date to differ
from the portfolio segment's historical loss experience. Qualitative factors
include consideration of the following: changes in lending policies and
procedures; changes in economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of
the portfolio; changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending
management and other relevant staff;
30
Table of Contents
changes in the volume and severity of past due, nonaccrual and other adversely graded loans; changes in the loan review system; changes in the value of the underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans; concentrations of credit; and the effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, atJune 30, 2020 , we slightly increased certain of our qualitative loan portfolio risk factors relating to local and national economic conditions as well as industry conditions and concentrations, which experienced deterioration due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. AtMarch 31, 2022 andJune 30, 2021 , the qualitative loan portfolio risk factors were slightly reduced in all loan categories except commercial and multi-family real estate which we believe exhibits the most credit risk related to local and national economic conditions as well as industry conditions and concentrations. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual 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 the delay, the reason for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and commercial real estate loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. As an integral part of their examination process, various regulatory agencies review the allowance for loan losses as well. Such agencies may require that changes in the allowance for loan losses be recognized when such regulatory credit evaluations differ from those of management based on information available to the regulators at the time of their examinations. Provision for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We recognize the tax effects from an uncertain tax position in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. We recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized, upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. We recognize interest and penalties accrued or released related to uncertain tax positions in current income tax expense or benefit.Debt Securities . Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant, for possible other-than-temporary impairment. In determining other-than-temporary impairment, management considers many factors, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospectus of the issuer, whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and whether the bank has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. A decline in value that is considered to be other-than-temporary is recorded as a loss within non-interest income in the statement of income. The assessment of whether other-than-temporary impairment exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time. In order to determine other-than-temporary impairment for mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, we compare the present value of the remaining cash flows as estimated at the preceding evaluation 31
Table of Contents
date to the current expected remaining cash flows. Other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows.
Comparison of Financial Condition at
Total Assets. Total assets increased$7.1 million , or 3.3%, to$220.8 million atMarch 31, 2022 from$213.6 million atJune 30, 2021 . The increase was primarily due to an increase of$19.6 million , or 13.6%, in loans, net of the allowance for loan losses offset by a decrease of$14.8 million , or 32.2%, in cash and cash equivalents. The Company also purchased an additional$3.0 million of bank owned life insurance during the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 . Cash and Cash Equivalents. Total cash and cash equivalents decreased$14.8 million , or 32.2%, to$31.2 million atMarch 31, 2022 from$46.0 million atJune 30, 2021 , primarily due to cash used to fund loan originations, the purchase of$3.5 million of corporate bonds in our debt securities available for sale portfolio and an additional purchase of$3.0 million of bank owned life insurance.

PPP loans totaled$0 as ofMarch 31, 2022 as compared to$10.4 million as ofJune 30, 2021 . The increase in commercial and multi-family real estate loans was primarily due to our strategy to enhance our commercial and multi-family real estate lending inSoutheastern Wisconsin . One- to four-family residential loans increased due to additional growth with respect to adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential loans. Deposits. Total deposits increased$17.0 million , or 9.9%, to$189.0 million atMarch 31, 2022 from$172.0 million atJune 30, 2021 .

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended
General. Net income was$249,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , an increase of$30,000 , or 13.6%, from net income of$219,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . The increase in net income for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 was primarily attributed to an increase of$182,000 in net-interest income and a decrease in the provision for income taxes of$49,000 offset by a$177,000 decrease in non-interest income and a$24,000 increase in non-interest expenses. Interest Income. Interest income increased by$143,000 , or 8.9%, to$1.8 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 compared to$1.6 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 primarily due to an increase in loan interest income. Loan interest income increased by$138,000 , or 9.1%, to$1.8 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$1.6 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , due to an increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on loans (excluding PPP loans). The average balance of the loan portfolio (excluding PPP loans) increased by$36.7 million , or 30.1%, from$121.8 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to$158.5 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The increase in the average balance of loans was due to our continued efforts to increase commercial and multi-family real estate loans inSoutheastern Wisconsin . The average balance of PPP loans to decreased due to the repayment by the SBA of forgiven PPP loans and as ofMarch 31, 2022 , there were no outstanding PPP loans. The average balance of one-to-four family residential loans also increased. The increase in one- to four-family residential mortgage loans was the result of customers refinancing their loans at lower rates. The average yield on the loan portfolio (excluding PPP loans) decreased by 23 basis points from 4.52% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to 4.29% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease in the average yield on loans was primarily due to a decrease in market interest rates sinceMarch 31, 2021 . In addition, loan interest income was positively impacted by the recognition of deferred fee income of$11,000 during the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 on the forgiven PPP loans repaid by the SBA compared to$160,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . As ofMarch 31, 2022 , we had no outstanding PPP loans, net of deferred fee income of$0 . 35

Debt securities interest income increased$4,000 , or 5.2%, to$87,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$83,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 due to a 19 basis points increase in the average yield on the debt securities portfolio to 2.82% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from 2.63% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . The increase in the average yield of debt securities was due to the higher interest rates as a result of the purchase of$3.5 million of corporate bonds during the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 . This increase was offset by a decrease of$299,000 in the average balance of the debt securities portfolio due to securities paydowns which was offset by the purchase of a$500,000 corporate bond during the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased$39,000 , or 14.9%, to$223,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$262,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , due to a decrease of$32,000 in interest paid on deposits and a decrease of$7,000 in interest paid on borrowings. Interest expense on deposits decreased$32,000 , or 12.7%, to$223,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$255,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 due to a decrease in interest expense on certificates of deposit which was offset by an increase in interest expense on interest-bearing core deposits (consisting of demand, NOW, money market and savings accounts). Interest expense on certificates of deposit decreased$49,000 , or 24.3%, to$153,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$202,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 due to a decrease in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit which was offset by an increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit. The average rate paid on certificates of deposit decreased 57 basis points to 1.07% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from 1.64% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 due to the decline in market rates. The average balance of certificates of deposit increased by$8.1 million , to$58.5 million , for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 due to the purchase of$15.1 million in brokered certificates of deposit and an increase in new customers added by the Company. Interest expense on interest-bearing core deposits increased by$17,000 , or 32.1%, to$70,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$53,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . The average rate paid on our interest-bearing core deposits increased slightly by two basis points to 0.27% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from 0.25% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . The average balance of our interest-bearing core deposits increased by$17.6 million during the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 and was related to consumer stimulus payments and new customers. Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased$182,000 , or 13.5%, to$1.5 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$1.4 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 due to an increase in net interest-earning assets and an increase in the net interest rate spread. Also included in net interest income for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 was the recognition of deferred fee income of$11,000 on the forgiven PPP loans repaid by the SBA compared to$160,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . Net interest-earning assets increased by$8.6 million , or 29.1%, to$38.3 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$29.6 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . Net interest rate spread increased by five basis points to 3.05% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from 3.00% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , reflecting an 11 basis points decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets and a 16 basis points decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin increased three basis points to 3.14% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from 3.11% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . The decrease in the average yield on interest earning assets for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 was primarily due to a decrease in the average yield of 23 basis points on the loan portfolio (excluding PPP loans) as we continue to book new loans at lower interest rates based on the low current interest rate environment. The decrease in the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities continues to be due to low interest rates. Provision for Loan Losses. Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations to establish an allowance for loan losses at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses in our loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including, but not limited to, management's ongoing review and grading of loans, facts and issues related to specific loans, historical loan loss and delinquency experience, trends in past due and non-accrual loans, existing risk characteristics of specific loans or loan pools, changes in the nature, volume and terms of loans, the fair value of underlying collateral, changes in lending personnel, current economic conditions and other qualitative and quantitative factors which could affect potential
credit losses. Beginning

with the three months ended June 30, 2020 , as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,
we increased certain of our qualitative loan portfolio risk factors relating to
local and national economic conditions as well as industry conditions and
concentrations, which experienced deterioration due to the effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic. At March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 , the qualitative loan
portfolio risk factors were slightly reduced in all loan categories except
commercial real estate which we believe exhibits the most credit risk related to
local and national economic conditions as well as industry conditions and
concentrations. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations of Marathon Bancorp. Inc. -Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies" for additional information.
After an evaluation of these factors, we recorded no provision for loan losses
for the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021. Our allowance for loan losses
was $2.2 million and $2.1 million at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The
allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.32% at March 31, 2022 and 1.49%
at March 31, 2021 . We recorded net recoveries of $6,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 and net recoveries of $1,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2021 . Non-performing assets decreased to $64,000 , or 0.03% of total
assets, at March 31, 2022 , compared to $178,000 , or 0.08% of total assets, at
June 30, 2021 .
To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all loan losses that are both
probable and reasonable to estimate at March 31, 2022 . However, future changes
in the factors described above, including, but not limited to, actual loss
experience with respect to our loan portfolio, could result in material
increases in our provision for loan losses. In addition, the WDFI and the FDIC ,
as an integral part of their examination process, will periodically review our
allowance for loan losses, and as a result of such reviews, we may have to
adjust our allowance for loan losses.

Non-interest income decreased by$189,000 to$193,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$382,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 due primarily to a decrease in mortgage banking income. Mortgage banking income (consisting primarily of sales of fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans) decreased by$206,000 as we sold$2.1 million of mortgage loans into the secondary market during the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 compared to$12.6 million of such sales during the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 due to an increase in market rates, which resulted in decreased demand for mortgage loan refinancing.

Non-interest expenses were $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31,
2022 as compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 .
Professional fees increased $70,000 primarily due to costs associated with being
a public company including but not limited to preparing and filing the required
periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission . Salaries and
employee benefits decreased by $57,000 due primarily to a reduction in health
insurance expense.
Provision for Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $74,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 , a decrease of $49,000 , as compared to income tax expense
of $123,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 . The decrease in income
tax expense was primarily due to a change in the Company's effective tax rate.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was
23.0% and 36.0%, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 , the
Company continued to true-up their deferred income taxes to be in line with
their projected effective tax rate for the fiscal year-end. This included an
analysis of tax-exempt interest income items.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended
General. Net income was$951,000 for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 , a decrease of$24,000 , or 2.5%, from net income of$975,000 for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 . The decrease in net income for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 was primarily attributed to a$678,000 decrease in non-interest income and a$223,000 increase in non-interest expenses. These were offset by a$839,000 increase in net-interest income and a$39,000 decrease in the provision for income taxes. Interest Income. Interest income increased by$689,000 , or 14.7%, to$5.4 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 compared to$4.7 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 due to an increase in loan interest income, partially offset by a decrease in debt securities interest income. Other interest income also increased by$7,000 . Loan interest income increased by$722,000 , or 16.6%, to$5.1 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$4.4 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 , due to an increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on loans (excluding PPP loans). The average balance of the loan portfolio (excluding PPP loans) increased by$32.6 million , or 28.0%, from$116.4 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 to$149.0 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The increase in the average balance of loans was due to our continued efforts to increase commercial and multi-family real estate loans inSoutheastern Wisconsin . The average balance of PPP loans decreased due to the repayment by the SBA of forgiven PPP loans. There were no outstanding PPP loans as ofMarch 31, 2022 . The increase in the average balance of one-to-four family residential loans also increased. The increase in one- to four-family residential mortgage loans was the result of customers refinancing their loans at lower rates. The average yield on the loan portfolio (excluding PPP loans) decreased by 58 basis points from 4.70% for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 to 4.12% for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease in the average yield on loans was primarily due to a decrease in market interest rates sinceMarch 31, 2021 . In addition, loan interest income was positively impacted by the recognition of deferred fee income of$483,000 during the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 on the forgiven PPP loans repaid by the SBA compared to only$255,000 for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 . As ofMarch 31, 2022 , we had no outstanding PPP loans, net of deferred fee income of$0 . Debt securities interest income decreased$40,000 , or 13.6%, to$250,000 for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$290,000 for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 due to decreases of$2.3 million in the average balance of the debt securities portfolio which was offset by a five basis points increase in the average yield on the debt securities portfolio to 2.64% for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 from 2.59% for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 . The decrease in the average balance of the debt securities portfolio was primarily due to securities paydowns which was offset by the purchase of$3.5 million in corporate bonds during the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The increase in the average yield of debt securities was due to the higher interest rates on the$3.5 million in corporate bonds purchased during the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 , partially offset by the decrease in the average yield of our collateralized mortgage obligations with inverse floating rates. 38

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased$150,000 , or 17.9%, to$686,000 for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$835,000 for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 , due to a decrease of$125,000 in interest paid on deposits and a decrease of$25,000 in interest paid on borrowings. Interest expense on deposits decreased$125,000 , or 15.5%, to$679,000 for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$803,000 for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 due to a decrease in interest expense on certificates of deposit which was offset by an increase in interest expense on interest-bearing core deposits (consisting of demand, NOW, money market and savings accounts). Interest expense on certificates of deposit decreased$168,000 , or 25.6%, to$487,000 for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$655,000 for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 due to a decrease in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit which was offset by an increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit. The average rate paid on certificates of deposit decreased 75 basis points to 1.10% for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 from 1.85% for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 due to the decline in market rates. The average balance of certificates of deposit increased by$11.7 million to$58.9 million , for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 compared to the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 due to the purchase of$15.1 million in brokered certificates of deposit inMarch 2021 and an increase in new customers added by the Company. Interest expense on interest-bearing core deposits increased by$44,000 , or 29.7%, to$192,000 for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$148,000 for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 . The average rate paid on our interest-bearing core deposits was 0.26% for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 compared to 0.25% for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 .

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased$839,000 , or 21.9%, to$4.7 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$3.8 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 due to an increase in net interest-earning assets and an increase in the net interest rate spread. Also included in net interest income for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 was the recognition of deferred fee income of$483,000 on the forgiven PPP loans repaid by the SBA compared to only$255,000 for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 . Net interest-earning assets increased by$12.9 million , or 51.9%, to$37.9 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$25.0 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 . Net interest rate spread increased by seven basis points to 3.05% for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 from 2.98% for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 , reflecting a 15 basis points decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets and a 22 basis points decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin increased nine basis points to 3.18% for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 from 3.09% for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 . The decrease in the average yield on interest earning assets for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 compared to the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 was primarily due to a decrease in the average yield of 58 basis points on the loan portfolio (excluding PPP loans) as we continue to book new loans at lower interest rates based on the low interest rate environment. This decrease was offset by the$483,000 in deferred fee income recognized on the forgiven PPP loans repaid by the SBA. The decrease in the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities continues to be due to low interest rates. The net interest rate spread and net interest margin for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 would have been approximately 2.72% and 2.83%, respectively when excluding the$483,000 in deferred fee income recognized on forgiven PPP loans repaid by the SBA. This compares with approximately 2.77% and 2.89% for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2021 when excluding the$255,000 in deferred fee income recognized on forgiven loans repaid by the SBA.

Asset Quality
Loans Past Due and Non-Performing Assets. Loans are reviewed on a regular basis. Management determines that a loan is impaired or non-performing when it is probable at least a portion of the loan will not be collected in accordance with the original terms due to a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or the value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When a loan is determined to be impaired, the measurement of the loan in the allowance for loan losses is based on present value of expected future cash flows, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral. Non-accrual loans are loans for which collectability is questionable and, therefore, interest on such loans will no longer be recognized on an accrual basis. All loans that become 90 days or more delinquent are placed on non-accrual status unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received on a cash basis or cost recovery method. When we acquire real estate as a result of foreclosure, the real estate is classified as real estate owned. The real estate owned is recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. Soon after acquisition, we order a new appraisal to determine the current market value of the property. Any excess of the recorded value of the loan satisfied over the market value of the property is charged against the allowance for loan losses, or, if the existing allowance is inadequate, charged to expense of the current period. After acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property are expensed. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property, however, are capitalized to the extent of estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. A loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring if, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, we grant a concession to the borrower that we would not otherwise consider. This usually includes a modification of loan terms, such as a reduction of the interest rate to below market terms, capitalizing past due interest or extending the maturity date and possibly a partial forgiveness of the principal amount due. Interest income on restructured loans is accrued after the borrower demonstrates the ability to pay under the restructured terms through a sustained period of repayment performance, which is generally six consecutive months. The CARES Act, in addition to providing financial assistance to both businesses and consumers, created a forbearance program for federally-backed mortgage loans, protected borrowers from negative credit reporting due to loan accommodations related to the national emergency, and provided financial institutions the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements underU.S. GAAP related to troubled debt restructurings for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19. The Federal banking regulatory agencies have likewise issued guidance encouraging financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are, or may be, unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19. That guidance, with concurrence of theFinancial Accounting Standards Board , and provisions of the CARES Act allow modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were generally current with their payments prior to any relief, to not be treated as troubled debt restructurings. Modifications may include payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment term, or other delays in payment. 41 Table of Contents
To work with customers impacted by COVID-19, the Company offered short-term (i.e., three months or less with the potential to extend up to six months, if necessary) loan modifications on a case by case basis to borrowers who were current in their payments at the inception of the loan modification program. Under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, loans less than 30 days past due as ofDecember 31, 2019 are considered current for COVID-19 modifications. A financial institution can then suspend the requirements underU.S. GAAP for loan modifications related to COVID-19 that would otherwise be categorized as a 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 must make a policy election, which applies to any COVID-19 modification made betweenMarch 1, 2020 andJanuary 1, 2022 . The Company made this policy election. Similarly, theFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") 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. The Company received requests to modify loans, primarily consisting of the deferral of principal and interest payments and the extension of the maturity date. Of these modifications, 100% were performing in accordance with the accounting treatment under Section 4013 of the CARES Act and therefore did not qualify as TDRs. As ofMarch 31, 2022 , we had granted short-term payment deferrals on 56 loans, totaling approximately$20.0 million in aggregate principal amount. As ofMarch 31, 2022 , all of these loans have returned to normal payment status.

Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans
and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered to be of lesser
quality, 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 loss allowance is not warranted. Assets which 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 "special mention" or "Watch" by our management.
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 probable accrued losses. General allowances represent loss
allowances which have been established to cover probable accrued losses
associated with lending activities, 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 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 require the
establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses established as losses is estimated to have
occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses
are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability
of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to
the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and
is based upon management's periodic review of the collectability of the loans in
light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio,
adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated
value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This
evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are
susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated
component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that
are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash
flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is
lower than the carrying value of that loan. General components cover
non-impaired loans and are based on historical loss rates for each portfolio
segment, adjusted for the effects of qualitative or environmental factors that
are likely to cause estimated credit losses as of the evaluation date to differ
from the portfolio segment's historical loss experience. Qualitative factors
include consideration of the following: changes in lending policies and
procedures; changes in economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of
the portfolio; changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending
management and other relevant staff; changes in the volume and severity of past
due, nonaccrual and other adversely graded loans; changes in the loan review
system; changes in the value of the underlying collateral for
collateral-dependent loans; concentrations of credit; and the effect of other
external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements. As a
result of the COVID-19 pandemic, at June 30, 2020 , we slightly increased certain
of our qualitative loan portfolio risk factors relating to local and national
economic conditions as well as industry conditions and concentrations, which
experienced deterioration due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. At March
31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 , the qualitative loan portfolio risk factors were
slightly reduced in all loan categories except commercial and multi-family real
estate which we believe exhibits the most credit risk related to local and
national economic conditions as well as industry conditions and concentrations.

Operations of Marathon Bancorp. Inc. -Summary of Significant Accounting Policies"
for additional information.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it
is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of
principal and interest when due according to the contractual 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 the delay, the
reason for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the
shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured
on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and commercial real estate loans by
either the present value of expected future cash

flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
In addition, the WDFI and theFDIC periodically review our allowance for loan losses and as a result of such reviews, we may have to adjust our allowance for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs.

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 theFederal Home Loan Bank of Chicago . AtMarch 31, 2022 , we had a$75.4 million line of credit with theFederal Home Loan Bank of Chicago , and had no borrowings outstanding as of that 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 including interest-bearing demand deposits. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was$589,000 as compared to$309,000 of cash being used in operating activities for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of securities, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from the sale of securities and proceeds from maturing securities and pay downs on securities, was$22.1 million and$18.0 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting of activity in deposit accounts and borrowings, was$6.7 million and$44.6 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2022 and 2021, 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, current pricing strategy and regulatory restrictions, we anticipate that a substantial portion of maturing time deposits will be retained, and that we can supplement our funding with borrowings in the event that we allow these deposits to run off at maturity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations
Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. AtMarch 31, 2022 , we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of$28.4 million , and outstanding commitments to sell loans of$1,538,900 . We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current lending commitments. Time deposits that are scheduled to mature in one year or less fromMarch 31, 2022 totaled$26.3 million . Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing time deposits will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilizeFederal Home Loan Bank advances or other borrowings, which may result in higher levels of interest expense. Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Price
The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance withU.S. GAAP, which requires 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.
