The provision for (benefit from) income taxes charged (credited) to income for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, consist of the following:

Income tax benefit was $32,000 for the year ended June 30, 2025, an decrease of $27,000, as compared to an income tax benefit of $59,000 for the year ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in income tax benefit was primarily related to an increase in income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit) when comparing the year ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. This increase was offset by a Wisconsin income tax provision of $112,000 related to a change in Wisconsin tax law that provides for a subtraction from the Bank’s state taxable income for loan and fee interest income from certain commercial and agricultural loans. Based upon the provisions of this new state tax law, management determined that the Company was highly unlikely to incur a material Wisconsin tax liability in the foreseeable future, instead generating Wisconsin net operating loss carryforwards that would never be realized.  Since the state rate at which net deferred tax assets are expected to be realized is 0%, the Company eliminated its state net deferred tax asset balances as of July 1, 2023, resulting in deferred tax expense of approximately $112,000 for the year ended June 30, 2024. A summary of income tax expense (recovery) compared to the federal income tax statutory rate is set forth below.

In accordance with ASC Topic 740, the Company evaluates on a quarterly basis, all evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed. In conducting this evaluation, management explores all possible sources of taxable income available under existing tax laws

to realize the deferred tax asset beginning with the most objectively verifiable evidence first, including available carry back claims and viable tax planning strategies. If needed, management will look to future taxable income as a potential source. Management reviews the Company’s current financial position and its results of operations for the current and preceding years. That historical information is supplemented by all currently available information about future years. The Company understands that projections about future performance are subjective. The Company recorded a valuation allowance of $665,000 as a complete offset of the state deferred tax impact associated with its net deferred tax assets. The deferred tax balance associated with the Company’s Wisconsin net operating loss carryforward of $8.5 million existing as of June 30, 2025 was reduced to zero as a component of the valuation allowance. No federal valuation allowance was deemed necessary as of June 30, 2025.
