Total funding is the sum of interest-bearing liabilities and noninterest-bearing deposits. The cost of total funding is calculated as annualized total interest expense divided by average total funding.
The increases in net interest margin for the current quarter compared with the previous and year ago quarters were primarily due to a decrease in cost of fund and increases in investment securities and other-interest earning assets yields, partially offset by a decrease in loan yield. During the current quarter, the Company received a special dividend on Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock of $424 thousand, which contributed additional 5 basis point increase to the net interest margin.
Loans. The decreases in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to decreases in market rates and net accretion of discount on loans, partially offset by an increase in net amortization of deferred loan fees.
The following table presents a composition of total loans by interest rate type accompanied by the weighted-average contractual rates as of the dates indicated:

Investment Securities. The increases in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to higher yields on newly purchased investment securities.
Other Interest-Earning Assets. The increase in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to an increase in dividends received on FHLB stock, partially offset by a decrease in average interest rate on cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank.
Interest-Bearing Deposits. The decreases in average cost for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to decreases in market rates.

Salaries and Employee Benefits. The increase for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to increases in accruals for bonus and vacation, and group insurance, and a decrease in direct loan origination cost, which offsets and defers the recognition of salaries and benefits expense, partially offset by a decrease in salaries and other employee benefits. The increase for the current quarter compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to increases in salaries and group insurance, and a decrease in loan origination cost. The number of full-time equivalent employees was 264, 264 and 257 as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
Professional Fees. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was due to higher internal audit fees for the previous quarter as a part of the year-end process.
Marketing and Business Promotion. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to yearend promotions during the previous quarter. The increase for the current quarter compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to an increase in advertising.
Other Expense. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to decreases in expenses related to legal, armed guard and office supplies. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to an impairment on operating lease assets of $146 thousand for a sublease contract and recognition of contingent liabilities for legal settlements of $183 thousand during the year-ago quarter.
Balance Sheet (Unaudited)
Total assets were $3.40 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $114.4 million, or 3.5%, from $3.28 billion at December 31, 2025 and an increase of $212.4 million, or 6.7%, from $3.18 billion at March 31, 2025. The increase for the current quarter was primarily due to increases in cash and cash equivalents and loans held-for-investment, partially offset by a decrease in loans held-for-sale.

The increase in loans held-for-investment for the current quarter was primarily due to new funding of term loans of $112.9 million and net increase of lines of credit of $20.1 million, partially offset by pay-downs and pay-offs of term loans of $78.6 million, a loan transferred to loans held-for-sale of $1.1 million and charge-offs of $76 thousand.
The decrease in loans held-for-sale for the current quarter was primarily due to sales of $21.8 million and pay-downs of $149 thousand, partially offset by new funding of $12.4 million and a loan transferred from loans held-for-investment of $1.1 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Return on average tangible common equity, tangible common equity per common share and tangible common equity to total assets ratios
The Company's TCE is calculated by subtracting preferred stock from shareholders’ equity. The Company had no intangible assets for the presented periods. ROATCE, TCE per common share, and TCE to total assets constitute supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management in its analysis of the Company's performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as substitutes for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other companies. The following tables provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.
