Summary of critical accounting policies; Critical accounting estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America . The preparation of these consolidated 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 Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (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. However, we have determined not to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
The following represent our significant accounting policies:
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. The allowance for loan and lease losses is a reserve for estimated probable credit losses on individually evaluated loans determined to be impaired as well as estimated probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Actual credit losses, net of recoveries, are deducted from the allowance for loan and lease losses. Loans are charged off when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for loan and lease losses. A provision for loan and lease losses, which is a charge against earnings, is recorded to bring the allowance for loan and lease losses to a level that, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. Management's evaluation process used to determine the appropriateness of the allowance for loan and lease losses is subject to the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgment. The evaluation process involves gathering and interpreting many qualitative and quantitative factors which could affect probable credit losses. Because interpretation and analysis involves judgment, current economic or business conditions can change, and future events are inherently difficult to predict, the anticipated amount of estimated loan and lease losses and therefore the appropriateness of the allowance for loan and lease losses could change significantly. The allocation methodology applied by the Company is designed to assess the appropriateness of the allowance for loan and lease losses and includes allocations for specifically identified impaired loans and loss factor allocations for all remaining loans, with a component primarily based on historical loss rates and a component primarily based on other qualitative factors. The methodology includes evaluation and consideration of several factors, such as, 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, the fair value of underlying collateral, current economic conditions and other qualitative and quantitative factors which could affect potential credit losses. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions or circumstances underlying the collectability of loans. Because each of the criteria used is subject to change, the allocation of the allowance for loan and lease losses is made for analytical purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the trend of future loan losses in any particular loan category. The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any segment of the loan portfolio. Management believes the allowance for loan and lease losses was adequate atMarch 31, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 . The allowance analysis is reviewed by the board of directors on a quarterly basis in compliance with regulatory requirements. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for loan and lease losses. As a result of such reviews, we may have to adjust our allowance for loan and lease losses. However, regulatory agencies are not directly involved in the process of establishing the allowance for loan and lease losses as the process is the responsibility of the Company and any increase or decrease in the allowance is the responsibility of management. 31 Table of Contents
Income Taxes. The assessment of income tax assets and liabilities involves the use of estimates, assumptions, interpretation, and judgment concerning certain accounting pronouncements and federal and state tax codes. There can be no assurance that future events, such as court decisions or positions of federal and state taxing authorities, will not differ from management's current assessment, the impact of which could be significant to the results of operations and reported earnings. The Company files consolidated federal income tax returns with its subsidiaries. Amounts provided for income tax expense are based on income reported for financial statement purposes and do not necessarily represent amounts currently payable under tax laws. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax law rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income tax expense. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that a portion of the full amount of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. We may also recognize a liability for unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions. Unrecognized tax benefits represent the differences between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit recognized and measured in the consolidated financial statements. Penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as income tax expense.
Comparison of the financial situation at
Total Assets. Total assets were$369.0 million atMarch 31, 2022 , an increase of$4.2 million , or 1.2%, from$364.8 million atDecember 31, 2021 . The increase was due primarily to increases in net loans of$4.3 million , or 2.0%, from$220.3 million atDecember 31, 2021 to$224.6 million atMarch 31, 2022 . Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased$3.7 million , or 16.9%, to$25.6 million (which includes fed funds sold of$19.7 million ) atMarch 31, 2022 from$21.9 million (which includes fed funds sold of$16.3 million ) atDecember 31, 2021 . This increase is primarily due to an increase in deposits of$6.8 million , partially offset by loan funding.
Interest-bearing deposits in banks. Interest-bearing deposits in banks were
Securities Available for Sale. Securities available for sale increased by$7.2 million , or 12.7%, to$64.0 million atMarch 31, 2022 from$56.8 million atDecember 31, 2021 . The increase in securities for the quarter included the investment of$11.5 million in available for sale securities, including purchases of$6.0 million inU.S. Government debt securities,$3.3 million in municipals, and$2.2 million in corporate bonds, partially reduced by paydowns of$1.1 million , and unrealized losses on the available for sale portfolio of$3.2 million due primarily to the increase in market interest rates during the period.
Securities held to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities decreased by
Loans and Leases Receivable, Net. Loans and leases receivable, net, increased$4.3 million , or 2.0%, to$224.6 million atMarch 31, 2022 from$220.3 million atDecember 31, 2021 . Loans secured by residential real estate and farmland comprise$161.7 , or 71.5% of the net loans atMarch 31, 2022 . During the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , loan originations totaled$31.0 million of which$3.9 million were renewals or refinancings of existing loans withMineola Community Bank , resulting in originations of new loans of$27.1 million . Originations consisted primarily of$11.4 million in one- to-four family residential mortgage loans,$11.8 million of residential construction loans (upon completion), including speculative construction loans of$4.9 million ,$4.2 million in commercial real estate loans,$964,000 in consumer loans,$1.6 million in commercial and industrial loans,$676,000 in land & development
loans,

and $406,000 in farmland loans. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 ,
there were $3.4 million in loan principal paydowns and $16.4 million in loan
payoffs. PPP loans have paid down to 3 loans totaling $9,000 at March 31, 2022 .
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 , construction loans in process
increased by $6.1 million to $29.4 million at March 31, 2022 from $23.3 million
at December 31, 2021 . Construction loans continue to be a large segment of our
portfolio which is a reflection of the strong housing demand in our primary
market area.
Deposits. Deposits increased $6.8 million , or 2.5%, to $281.7 million at March
31, 2022 from $274.9 million at December 31, 2021 . Core deposits (defined as all
deposits other than certificates of deposit) increased $8.5 million , or 4.2%, to

decreased by $518,000 or 1.9%, to $27.1 million at March 31, 2022 from $27.6
million at December 31, 2021 due to scheduled monthly payments of principal on
amortizing advances.
Total Shareholders' Equity. Total shareholders' equity decreased $2.0 million ,
or 3.3%, to $58.1 million at March 31, 2022 from $60.1 million at December 31,
2021 . This decrease was primarily due to a $2.5 million , or 364.1%, change in
accumulated other comprehensive loss representing decreases in the fair value of
available for sale securities resulting primarily from rising market interest
rates. At March 31, 2022 , this unrealized loss was $3.2 million , compared to
$686,000 at December 31, 2021 , partially offset by net income of $391,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2022 . An additional $51,000 was added to
shareholders' equity with the commitment to release 3,258 additional ESOP shares
to participants.
At March 31, 2022 , Mineola Community Bank opted to use the community bank
leverage ratio framework (Tier 1 capital to average assets) for regulatory
capital purposes, as permitted by the CARES Act. At March 31, 2022 , a community
bank leverage ratio of at least 9.0% is required to be considered "well
capitalized" under regulatory requirements. At March 31, 2022 , Mineola Community
Bank was well capitalized and had a ratio of 12.84%

Comparison of operating results for the three months ended
and
Net Income. Net income was$391,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , compared to net income of$242,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , an increase of$149,000 , or 61.6%. The increase was primarily due to a$270,000 increase in net interest income and a$70,000 increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a$115,000 increase in noninterest expense, a$38,000 increase in the provision for loan and lease losses and an increase in income tax expense of$38,000 . Interest Income. Interest income increased at$164,000 , or 6.3%, for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . This was primarily the result of increased interest income on securities and fed funds due primarily to the investment of proceeds from the Conversion, but was offset by a decrease in loan interest income of$23,000 due to decreased loan yield. Interest income on loans was$2.4 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 and 2021. Loan interest income remained flat with an$11.8 million , or 5.6%, increase in average loans from$212.1 million atMarch 31, 2021 to$223.9 million atMarch 31, 2022 being offset by a 28 basis point, or 6.2%, decrease in loan yield to 4.24% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from 4.52% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . Interest income on securities increased$195,000 , or 109.6%, from$178,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to$373,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . This increase resulted from an increase of 10 basis points, or 6.8%, in yield from 1.48% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to 1.58% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 and an increase in average securities of$46.4 million , or 97.1 %, from$47.8 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to$94.2 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The rate increase is reflective of the beginning of market rate increases and the diversification of our securities portfolio as we continue to invest Conversion proceeds into higher yielding investments. Interest income from interest bearing deposits in banks declined$14,000 , or 70.0%, from$20,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to$6,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . This decline resulted from a decrease of nine basis points, or 24.9%, in average yield from 0.37% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to 0.28% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , combined with a$13.0 million , or 60%, decrease in average deposits in banks from$21.6 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to$8.6 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . There was also an increase of$9,000 in fed funds interest for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 primarily from an increase of seven basis points, or 57.5%, in average yield on fed funds from 0.12% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to 0.19% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , and a$15.3 million , or 463.6%, increase in average fed funds from$3.3 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to$18.6 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . This increase is reflective of the increase in the fed funds market rate. Average interest earning assets increased by$59.2 million , or 20.7%, from$286.6 million atMarch 31, 2021 to$345.8 million atMarch 31, 2022 , which was offset by a decrease in the yield on interest earning assets of 43 basis points, or 11.9%, from 3.63% onMarch 31, 2021 to 3.20% onMarch 31, 2022 . Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased$106,000 , or 18.8%, to$458,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$564,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 due to a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities of 24 basis points, or 25.6 %, from 0.93% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to 0.69% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , primarily due to a decrease in deposit costs. Interest expense on deposit accounts decreased$90,000 , or 22.4%, to$311,000 for three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$401,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , due to a decrease in the average deposit cost of 23 basis points, or 30.7%, from 0.76% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to 0.53% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , primarily the result of an overall decrease in market interest rates. This was partially offset by an increase of$25.3 million , or 12.0%, in the average deposit account balances from$211.1 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to$236.4 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , with the increase being in lower cost interest-bearing transaction accounts.

primarily to the decrease in the average balance ofFederal Home Loan Bank advances of$3.2 million , or 10.4%, to$27.2 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$30.4 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . The average rate was flat at 2.11% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 and 2.10% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased$270,000 , or 13.2%, to$2.3 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$2.0 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 primarily due to a decrease in the average cost of funds of 24 basis points, or 25.6%, from 0.93% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to 0.69% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 combined with an increase in the average balance of net interest-earning assets from$44.7 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to$81.7 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , which offset a 19 basis point, or 7.2%, decrease in the net interest rate spread from 2.70% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to 2.51% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . Net interest margin decreased 18 basis points, or 6.2%, to 2.67% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from 2.85% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 . Provision for Loan and Lease Losses. Based on management's analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses, the provision for loan and lease losses was$40,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , compared to$2,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , an increase of$38,000 , primarily due to an increase in loan volume. Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased$70,000 , or 18.3%, to$453,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$383,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , due primarily to an increase of$68,000 , or 19.3%, in service charges and fees from$353,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 to$421,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The increase is partially due to an increase in the number of deposit accounts combined with increased ATM use. Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased$115,000 , or 5.4%, to$2.2 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$2.1 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, director fees and other expenses partially offset by decreases in contract services and data processing. Salary and employee benefit expenses increased by$132,000 , or 10.7%, to$1.4 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$1.2 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , due to normal salary increases and an increase in health insurance cost, as well as the additional$51,000 expense for the quarter for the ESOP plan that was not in existence in 2021. Directors' fees also increased$21,000 , or 28.0%, to$96,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$75,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 due to the addition of four new directors and two new advisory directors. These increases were partially offset by decreases in data processing, contract services and other expenses. These expenses were higher in the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 due partially to additional expenses related to the Conversion. Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased by$38,000 , or 76.0%, to$88,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 from$50,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 , primarily due to higher income before taxes. The effective tax rate was 18.4% and 17.1% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

AtMarch 31, 2022 , there was no outstanding balance under either of these facilities. 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. For additional information, see the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 and 2021 included as part of the consolidated financial statements included in this report. 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.Texas Community Bancshares, Inc. is a separate legal entity fromMineola Community Bank , and must provide for its own liquidity to pay its operating expenses and other financial obligations. Its primary source of income is dividends received fromMineola Community Bank . The amount of dividends thatMineola Community Bank may declare and pay toTexas Community Bancshares, Inc. is governed by applicable banking laws and regulations. AtMarch 31, 2022 ,Texas Community Bancshares, Inc. (on a stand-alone, unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of$13.4 million . AtMarch 31, 2022 ,Mineola Community Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements, and was categorized as well-capitalized at that date. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification of well-capitalized status that would change our category.
Market risk management
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. Our Risk Management and Interest Rate Risk Management Officer is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the policy and guidelines approved by our board of directors. We currently utilize a third-party modeling program, prepared on a monthly 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 have sought to manage our interest rate risk to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk:
? maintain capital levels above the thresholds of well-capitalized companies
status under federal regulations;
? maintain a high level of liquidity;
? increase our base deposit account volume;

? manage our portfolio of marketable securities so as to reduce the
maturity and effective life of the portfolio;
the management of our borrowings from the
? amortize advances so as to reduce average loan maturities;
and
? continue to diversify our loan portfolio by adding more
loans, which generally have shorter maturities and/or lump sum payments.
By following these strategies, we believe we are in a better position to react to rising and falling market interest rates.
We did not engage in hedging activities, such as futures or options. We do not expect to enter into similar transactions in the future.
Net Interest Income. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through a net interest income model. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. We estimate what our net interest income would be for a 12-month period. We then calculate what the net interest income would be for the same period under the assumptions thatthe United States Treasury yield curve increases or decreases instantaneously by 200 and 400 basis point increments, with changes in interest rates representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the "Change in Interest Rates" column below.
The tables below show the calculation of the estimated changes in our monthly net interest income that would result from designated immediate changes in

Net Economic Value. We also compute amounts by which the net present value of
our assets and liabilities (net economic value of equity or "EVE") would change
in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. This model
uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach to
measure the interest rate sensitivity of net portfolio value. The model
estimates the economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance
sheet contract under the assumptions that the United States Treasury yield curve
increases or decreases instantaneously by 200 and 400 basis point increments,
with changes in interest rates representing immediate and permanent, parallel
shifts in the yield curve.

The table above indicates that atMarch 31, 2022 , in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 6.04% decrease in EVE, and in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 0.09% increase in EVE. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes 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. The net interest income and net economic value 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 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, and actual results may differ.
Interest rate risk calculations may also not reflect the fair values of financial instruments. For example, a decline in market interest rates may increase the fair value of our loans, mortgage servicing rights, deposits and borrowings.
