Year to date earnings in 2026 were assisted by two major factors, partially offset by one factor, that had an overall net positive impact of $5,839,445 before taxes as follows:

1. Mortgage Servicing Rights Valuation adjustment – With the rise in long-term mortgage interest rates during the year, the valuation of our MSRs increased $4.2M and $1.1M at 2Q2026 and 1Q2026, respectively.

2. Mortgage Origination Pipeline Valuation adjustment – The fair market value of the hedged mortgage origination pipeline rose as the value of locked loans rose over the prior quarter by $431,338 and $366,797 at 2Q2026 and 1Q2026, respectively.

3. Allowance for Loan Losses adjustment – The Allowance for Loan Losses increased from the prior quarter by $157,343 and $32,205 at 2Q2026 and 1Q2026, respectively.

Overall, our business development efforts and growth continue. For example, during 2Q2026:

• On April 1, 2026, we closed on the acquisition of a faith-based mortgage company competitor to UIF, American Finance House Lariba, and the acquisition was successfully integrated into our faith-based subsidiary, UIF. UIF is a wholly owned subsidiary of University Bank.

• On July 1, 2026, UNIB acquired 100% of Greater Pacific Bancshares and Bank of Whittier, NA. for a purchase price of $37.2 million of which 48% was paid in cash and the remainder paid in Notes. This acquisition provides many opportunities for expanded ability to provide faith-based financing (home, commercial real estate, vehicle) and deposits (FDIC-insured time, savings, checking and tax advantaged IRA deposit accounts). UNIB anticipates that the transaction will be accretive to earnings per share over time, and with the residential servicing transferred to Midwest Loan Services, a division of University Bank, currently targeted for November 1^st, we anticipate achieving significant economies of scale. The key financial terms of the transaction are available at this link: https://www.university-bank.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/press-189-Supplement.pdf.

• Faith-based deposits have grown to $208.3 million at June 30, 2026, and include a new product that enables the automatic sweep of idle balances in customer accounts at brokerage firms into and out of our faith-based deposit products, which is accelerating deposit growth.

• University Bank is now licensed for conventional mortgage lending and home equity lending in all 50 states. After completing the rollout of our 1^st Mortgage HELOC program in all 47 states where we intend to introduce the product, volumes are accelerating. We are now working on rolling out a fixed home equity second mortgage lending program tied to an industry standard credit box in 47 states, with the loans being sold to the secondary market and subserviced by our Midwest Loan Services division.

At June 30, 2026, cash & equity investment securities at UNIB, available to meet working capital needs and to support investment opportunities at UNIB were $56.1 million. UNIB also has available a $12.5 million line of credit with a balance due of $0 at June 30, 2026.

A portion of UNIB’s working capital, $34.8 million (at market value), has been invested in a portfolio of publicly traded investments concentrated in four large investments. The four largest investments at June 30, 2026, were:

• Currency Exchange International (Symbol CURN), a company that specializes in foreign exchange, of which we now own 762,339 shares, 12.93% of the currently outstanding shares of common stock, at an average cost of $13.38 per share.

• Pulsar Helium (Symbol PSRHF), of which we now own 10,444,811 shares, 4.87% of the currently outstanding shares of common stock, at an average cost of $0.602 per share.

• A $5,000,000 investment in Silver, via futures contracts, at a cost of $61.45 per ounce. In addition to this core position, we recently booked a $750,000 profit on the sale of a $2,000,000 leveraged position long a Silver ETF when Silver was $71 per ounce.

• A portfolio of put options on the following indices: S&P500, KRE (S&P 500 Banks) & XLF (S&P 500 Banks, Shadow Banks, Insurance Companies & REITs), and one large regional bank. UNIB’s put option portfolio was worth $2.7 million at June 30, 2026.
