David A. Coffey, President and CEO stated, “We often note that when one area of loan demand slows, other areas increase. This is what continued to occur during the last three months. Commercial loan activity was terrific.” Coffey continued, “While we continue to see strong growth, our overall strong capital levels position us to continue to take advantage of opportunities in our market.”

For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, net income increased $66,000, or 12.99%, to $574,000 as compared to $508,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 was driven primarily as a result of the $306,000, or 18.50%, increase in net interest income as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to a $386,000, or 20.73%, increase in interest income as compared to the same period in the prior year due to growth in average assets. The increase in interest income was partially offset by an $80,000, or 38.46%, increase in interest expense as compared to the same period in the prior year.

The increase in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was partially supported by the $45,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in provision expense was due to the improving economic conditions since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company had net charge-offs during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 of $2,000 and a net recovery during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 of $2,000.

The increase in net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 was driven primarily as a result of the $479,000, or 14.83%, increase in net interest income as compared to the same six-month period in the prior year. The increase in net interest income was driven primarily by a $542,000, or 14.82%, increase in interest income as compared to the same six-month period in the prior year due to growth in average assets.

The decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to a $285,000, or 42.40%, decrease in the gain on sale of one-to-four family mortgages sold to Freddie Mac, as compared to the same six-month period in the prior year. Net income was also impacted by a $264,000, or 7.55%, increase in non-interest expense as compared to the same six-month period in the prior year.

The increase in net income for the six-months ended June 30, 2022 was also partially supported by a $16,000 decrease in income tax expense as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Total assets increased $31.1 million to $272.7 million at June 30, 2022 from $241.6 million at December 31, 2021, an increase of 12.90%. The increase was primarily due to a $22.2 million, or 15.42%, increase in loans held-for-investment to $166.1 million at June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily funded by a $21.5 million, or 10.06%, increase in total deposits, and the addition of $10.0 million in subordinated debt notes issued during the year.
