​

Edward H. Schaefer, President and CEO, stated, “We have continued our disciplined approach to how we deploy our excess liquidity during the first half of the year, targeting share repurchases and limited investment security purchases. That same discipline persists in how we deploy liquidity into our loan portfolio. We remain committed to profitably growing the loan portfolio while maintaining a strong credit position and expect to see those efforts materialize in the second half of the year with the assistance of a new loan officer and the addition of a new branch.”

Total interest and dividend income increased $198,000 or 7.0%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.  Average interest-earning assets decreased $10.4 million, or 3.3%, to $308.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $319.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets increased 38 basis points when comparing the 2022 and 2021 periods. The increase in average yield was primarily the result higher yielding additions to our securities portfolio and an increase in the rate paid on our deposits with the Federal Reserve.

​

Total interest expense decreased $67,000, or 25.3%, to $198,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $265,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.  Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $4.3 million, or 2.2%, to $198.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $194.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

​

Noninterest income decreased $6,000, or 2.3% to $254,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $260,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.  The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in the gain on sale of loans of $59,000 offset by an increase in service charges and other fees of $47,000.

Noninterest expense decreased $42,000 to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits expenses of $79,000 and a decrease in data processing expenses of $49,000 offset by an increase in professional fees of $53,000 and occupancy and equipment fees of $35,000.

​

Total assets decreased $26.7 million, or 7.5%, to $330.4 million at June 30, 2022 from $357.1 million at December 31, 2021 in part due to a decrease in deposits and share repurchase activity.
