Net Income
• Net income was $1.3 million for three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as a result of an increase in deposit interest expense partially offset by an increase in interest income.
.
Results of Operations
.
• Net interest income was $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was due to an increase in deposit costs, partially offset by an increase in interest income.
• Net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased to 3.38% from 3.58% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decreases in the margin relate to increases in our costs of funds exceeding our increases in our yield on interest-earning assets.
• Noninterest income increased $32,000 to $584,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
• Non-interest expense increased $376,000 to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the respective period in 2023, due to increases in salaries, data processing and other expenses offset by decreases in occupancy expenses.
Financial Condition
• Total assets increased $26.3 million to $869.5 million at March 31, 2024 from $843.3 million at December 31, 2023, as we increased cash to further enhance liquidity and experienced loan growth.
• Total gross loans increased $14.6 million to $674.5 million at March 31, 2024 from $659.9 million at December 31, 2023. The increase was due to steady loan demand.
• Non-owner occupied office loans totaled $26.4 million at March 31, 2024; average LTV on these loans is 41.0%, including
o $10.5 million medical/dental tenants and
o $15.9 million to other various tenants.
• Investment securities held-to-maturity unrealized losses were $301,000, net of tax. Investment securities available-for-sale unrealized losses were $6.3 million, net of tax.
• Cash and cash equivalents increased to $61.4 million at March 31, 2024 from $50.0 million at December 31, 2023, primarily due to an increase in deposits.
• Deposits increased by $13.0 million to $687.4 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $674.4 million at December 31, 2023, with $11.3 million of the increase in demand deposits.
• Uninsured deposits were approximately $107.1 million at March 31, 2024 and represented 15.6% of total deposits.
• Borrowings increased by $11.8 million to $51.8 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $40.0 million at December 31, 2023 as we continue to evaluate borrowing needs related to enhancing bank liquidity.
Asset Quality
