When compared to December 31, 2022, total loans increased $18.1 million, or 11.5%. The Bank funded$38.4million in new loans/advances in the third quarter of 2023. The fundings were offset by $33.4million in payoffs, most of which were expected based on the contractual terms of the loans. The Bank's loan to deposit ratio decreased slightly to 62.6% as of September 30, 2023, from 63.3% as of June 30, 2023, and increased from 51.8% from a year ago.

The Bank's Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL) increased 11 basis points to 1.49% from 1.38% when compared to the previous quarter due to uncertainties in the current economic conditions. The Bank continues to have only one non-performing relationship.

Yield on total loans decreased to 9.42% during the third quarter of 2023, compared to 9.50% from second quarter of 2023 and increased compared to 7.21% in the third quarter, 2022.

Deposits

Total deposits equaled to $278.8 million at September 30, 2023, an increase of $10.7 million, or 4.0% from the second quarter of 2023 and an increase of $2.5 million, or 0.9% from December 31, 2022. Interest-bearing deposits increased by $13.2 million, or 10.5% when compared to the second quarter of 2023 and $7.5 million, or 5.7% when compared to December 31, 2022. Noninterest-bearing demand accounts decreased $2.5 million, or -1.8% during the third quarter to $139.3 million as of September 30, 2023, and comprise 50.0% of total deposits. Noninterest-bearing demand accounts decreased $5.0 million, or -3.5% when compared to December 31, 2022.

As market rates continue to remain elevated compared to more recent norms, the Bank has also raised the rates paid to their customers on their interest-bearing deposit accounts. This resulted in an increase in the Bank's cost of funds to 1.76% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to 1.48% for the previous linked quarter and 0.34% for the same quarter last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Bank's cost of funds was 1.43% up 111 basis points from same period last year.

Net-interest Income

Net-interest income for the third quarter of 2023 was $4.0 million, flat with the second quarter of 2023 and an increase of $669 thousand, or 20.1% over the third quarter of 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net interest income was $12.1 million, an increase of $3.8 million, or 46.4% from same period in 2022.

The Bank's net interest margin was down 2 basis points to 5.53% when compared to second quarter ended June 30, 2023, and up 143 basis points from 4.10% for the comparable period ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Bank's net-interest margin was up 182 basis points to 5.46% when compared to the same period ended September 30, 2022. The Bank's primary source of net-interest income continues to be driven by interest on loans followed by cash held at other banks and other short-term investments.

Non-interest Income

For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Bank's non-interest income totaled $100 thousand, an increase of $12 thousand, or 13.6% from the second quarter of 2023, and up $35 thousand, or 53.8% from same period in 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, non-interest income totaled $267 thousand, an increase of $26 thousand, or 10.8%. The increase in non-interest income for the quarter was mainly driven by an increase in loan-related fees.

Non-interest Expense

For the third quarter of 2023, non-interest expense remained flat at $2.3 million as compared with the second quarter of 2023 and increased $198 thousand, or 9.3% when compared to same quarter in 2022. The increase over the third quarter of 2022 was driven primarily by an increase in data processing charges as well as salaries and employee benefits which is tied to and driven by the Bank's increase in net income and other performance indicators. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, non-interest expense increased $1.2 million to $6.8 million from September 30, 2022 as a result of increases in staff as well as increases in other costs such as data processing, employee benefit costs and professional fees. As inflation continues to increase costs for our third-party vendors and service providers, the Bank's costs are expected to rise as well. The average assets per employee for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 decreased $144 thousand to $9.2 million when compared to June 30, 2023 and decreased from $11.3 million as of September 30, 2022. Furthermore, the efficiency ratio decreased to 44.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, from 46.0% at June 30, 2023 and decreased from 58.3% for the same quarter in 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the efficiency ratio decreased to 44.5% from 60.9% for the same period in 2022.

Income Tax Expense

The Bank's income tax expense decreased $43 thousand, or -8.5% from the second quarter of 2023, totaling $462 thousand for the third quarter of 2023 and increased $164 thousand, or 55.0% from the same period in 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Bank's income tax expense equaled $1.5 million, an increase of $858 thousand, or 125.4% from the same period last year. The change is directly related to the increase in income before taxes for these periods. The Company's net effective tax rate for combined state and federal taxes is approximately 30%.

Net Income

For the third quarter of 2023 the Bank's net income was $1.1 million, or $0.31 per share, a $0.03 decrease when compared to the second quarter of 2023. When compared to the third quarter of 2022, profitability increased $338 thousand, or $0.09 per share.

The income before taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, was $1.5 million, a decrease of $125 thousand, or -7.6% when compared to the previous linked quarter and up $502 thousand, or 49.1% when compared to the same quarter in 2022.

The return on average assets decreased 18 basis points to 1.44% for the third quarter of 2023 as compared to 1.62% for the second quarter of 2023 and increased 56 basis points from 0.88% for the third quarter of 2022.

The return on average equity for the third quarter of 2023 was 12.93%, down 253 basis points from 15.46% for the second quarter of 2023 and an increase of 240 basis points from 10.53% for the third quarter of 2022.

Capital Management and Subsequent Event

The Bank continues to be well-capitalized and exceeds minimum regulatory requirement ratios with a tier 1 leverage ratio of 12.5%, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 16.9%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 19.9%.

Common stock remained flat at $34.4 million at September 30 and June 30, 2023.

The book value of the Bank's common stock was $9.56 as of September 30, 2023, up from $9.34 as of June 30, 2023, and $7.83 at September 30, 2022. The book value of the common stock increased due to the additional income earned for the quarter offset by the increase in the unrealized loss on investment securities for the quarter. The investment portfolio consists entirely of securities issued by government agencies or government sponsored enterprises \and are primarily short-term, cash-flowing mortgage-backed securities, therefore, the risk of incurring an actual loss is immeasurably low. Although the Bank holds its investment securities ("securities") as available for sale, we do not have the intent to sell any securities at this time. These securities are pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank and provide the Bank with liquidity by allowing us to borrow approximately 95% of the fair market value of the portfolio. As of September 30, 2023, the portfolio has an average life of 3.4 years.

On October 31, 2023, the Company completed a tender offer resulting in the repurchase of 674,559 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock at a price of $9.00 per share, totaling $6,071,031. The total shares outstanding after the tender offer was 2,734,586. In order to facilitate the repurchase of the shares, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement with a financial institution to borrow up to $8 million, secured by the stock of the Bank. The line requires quarterly interest payments at Prime plus 0.25% (currently 8.75%) and matures in October 2024. The line is subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants. The Company borrowed $6.1 million under the line of credit on November 1, 2023.
