Financial Highlights at December 31, 2021
Edward H. Schaefer, President and CEO, stated, “Our team worked extremely hard in 2021 adding many new small business relationships and growing our loan portfolio despite the runoff of PPP loans. These efforts allowed us to achieve our budgeted net income for 2021. This profitable growth along with our stock repurchase plan generated a sold increase in our tangible book value per share. We are excited about the team we have put together to profitably grow our small business platform in 2022 and beyond. We appreciate all our stakeholders support as we continue building our community bank.”

| ● | During the three months ending December 31, 2021, the net loan balance increased by $15.8 million or 7.7%, and $19.8 million or 9.8% excluding the impact of PPP forgiveness. |
Income Statement and Balance Sheet Overview
Total interest and dividend income decreased $135,000, or 4.8%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Average interest-earning assets increased $65.8 million, or 24.9%, to $329.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $263.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, and the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 81 basis points when comparing the 2021 and 2020 periods. The decrease in average yield was primarily the result of an increase in cash and cash equivalents.
Total interest expense decreased $72,000, or 25.4%, to $212,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $284,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $50.2 million, or 32.6%, to $204.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 from $153.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 48 basis points to 0.41% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to 0.89% for the three months ended December 31, 2020.
Net interest margin was 2.97% for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to 3.54% for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was the result of carrying elevated levels of cash following the Mitchell Bank acquisition as well as strong organic deposit growth during 2021.
The loan loss provision was $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $205,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2021, our allowance for loan losses was $2.4 million, or 1.08%, of total loans.
Noninterest income decreased $91,000, or 23.6% to $295,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $386,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Contributing to the change was a decrease in gain on sale of loans income of $193,000 offset by an increase in service charge and fee income and other non-interest income totaling $90,000.
Noninterest expense increased $109,000 to $2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in salaries and employee benefits expenses of $131,000 which was influenced by expansion of our operations with the acquisition of Mitchell Bank.
Total assets increased $18.1 million, or 5.3%, to $357.1 million at December 31, 2021 from $339.0 million at December 31, 2020 due to a $25.5 million increase in cash due, in part, to deposit growth, offset in part by a decrease of $15.8 million in available for sale securities..
Nonaccrual loans were $0.3 million, or 0.13% of total loans, at December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2020 nonaccrual loans were $1.1 million, or 0.49% of total loans. Non-performing assets were also $0.3 million, or 0.08% of total assets, at December 31, 2021 compared to $1.2 million, or 0.35% of total assets, at December 31, 2020.
