The $497,000 decrease in non-interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the prior year quarterly period, was primarily due to a decrease of $568,000 in gain on sale of loans, a $4,000 decrease in other non-interest income, and a $2,000 decrease in income from bank owned life insurance, partially offset by an increase of $77,000 in service charges on deposit accounts. The $966,000 decrease in non-interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year six-month period was primarily due to a decrease of $1.1 million in gain on sale of loans, a decrease of $5,000 in other non-interest income, and a $3,000 decrease in income from bank owned life insurance, partially offset by a $145,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts. The decreases in gain on sale of loans for both the quarter and six-month periods were primarily due to a decrease in refinance activity causing a decrease in mortgage loan originations. The Company sells most of its long-term fixed rate residential mortgage loan originations primarily in order to manage interest rate risk.

The $128,000 decrease in non-interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, is primarily attributable to decreases of $213,000 in compensation and benefits expense, $33,000 in audit and examination fees, $31,000 in legal fees, $20,000 in franchise and bank shares tax expense, $6,000 in loan and collection expense, and $2,000 in advertising expense. The decreases were partially offset by increases of $64,000 in other non-interest expense, $55,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, $44,000 in data processing expense, and $14,000 in deposit insurance premium expense. The $91,000 increase in non-interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same six- month period in 2021, is primarily attributable to increases of $158,000 in other non-interest expense, $128,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, $23,000 in deposit insurance premium expense, and $16,000 in data processing expense. The increases were partially offset by decreases of $141,000 in compensation and benefits expense, $30,000 in audit and examination fees, $30,000 in franchise and bank shares tax expense, $26,000 in loan and collection expense, $5,000 in legal fees, and $2,000 in advertising expense.

At December 31, 2022, the Company reported total assets of $576.5 million, a decrease of $13.9 million, or 2.4%, compared to total assets of $590.5 million at June 30, 2022. The decrease in assets was comprised primarily of decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $43.6 million, or 68.1%, from $64.1 million at June 30, 2022 to $20.4 million at December 31, 2022, loans held for sale of $1.7 million, or 43.5%, from $4.0 million at June 30, 2022 to $2.2 million at December 31, 2022, investment securities of $699,000, or 0.6%, from $108.0 million at June 30, 2022 to $107.4 million at December 31, 2022, and premises and equipment of $161,000, or 1.0%, from $16.2 million at June 30, 2022 to $16.1 million at December 31, 2022. These decreases were partially offset by increases in loans receivable, net of $31.3 million, or 8.1%, from $387.9 million at June 30, 2022 to $419.2 million at December 31, 2022, deferred tax asset of $318,000, or 27.8%, from $1.1 million at June 30, 2022 to $1.5 million at December 31, 2022, real estate owned of $269,000 from none at June 30, 2022 to $269,000 at December 31, 2022, accrued interest receivable of $260,000, or 23.1%, from $1.1 million at June 30, 2022 to $1.4 million at December 31, 2022, other assets of $59,000, or 4.2%, from $1.4 million at June 30, 2022 to $1.5 million at December 31, 2022, and bank owned life insurance of $52,000, or 0.8%, from $6.6 million at June 30, 2022 to $6.7 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the funding of additional loan growth and purchases of securities with excess liquidity. The increase in loans receivable, net, was primarily due to an increase of $17.6 million in commercial real estate loans. The decrease in investment securities was due to principal repayments on mortgage backed securities of $6.5 million and a $1.1 million increase in market value losses on available-for-sale securities offset by security purchases of $6.9 million. The decrease in loans held-for-sale primarily reflected a reduction in loans originated for sale during the six months ended December 31, 2022 due mainly to a decrease in mortgage refinance activity likely attributable to the increase in interest rates.

Total liabilities decreased $10.3 million, or 1.9%, from $538.1 million at June 30, 2022 to $527.9 million at December 31, 2022 primarily due to decreases in total deposits of $13.8 million, or 2.6%, to $518.2 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $532.0 million at June 30, 2022, other accrued expenses and liabilities of $505,000, or 19.4%, to $2.1 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $2.6 million at June 30, 2022, advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance of $176,000, or 49.7%, to $178,000 at December 31, 2022 compared to $354,000 at June 30,2022, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of $18,000, or 2.2%, to $814,000 at December 31, 2022 compared to $832,000 at June 30, 2022, partially offset by an increase in other borrowings of $4.2 million, or 178.7%, to $6.6 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $2.4 million at June 30, 2022. The decrease in deposits was primarily due to a $28.7 million, or 21.6%, decrease in savings deposits from $133.0 million at June 30, 2022 to $104.3 million at December 31, 2022, a $9.7 million, or 6.0%, decrease in non-interest bearing deposits from $161.1 million at June 30, 2022 to $151.5 million at December 31, 2022, a $2.4 million, or 2.5%, decrease in money market deposits from $98.6 million at June 30, 2022 to $96.2 million at December 31, 2022, and a decrease of $2.2 million, or 3.7%, in NOW accounts from $59.0 million at June 30, 2022 to $56.8 million at December 31, 2022, partially offset by an increase of $29.2 million, or 36.4%, in certificates of deposit from $80.3 million at June 30, 2022 to $109.5 million at December 31, 2022. The Company had $3.0 million in brokered deposits at December 31, 2022 compared to $6.0 million at June 30, 2022. The decrease in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank was primarily due to principal paydowns on amortizing advances. The entire balance in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank at December 31, 2022 were short-term due to our only advance with a balloon maturity in January 2023. We will be paying off this debt with funds from our FHLB demand account.

At December 31, 2022, the Company had $2.2 million of non-performing assets (defined as non-accruing loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, and other real estate owned) compared to $2.2 million on non-performing assets at June 30, 2022, consisting of six single-family residential loans and two single family residences in other real estate owned at December 31, 2022, compared to six single-family residential loans and one line of credit loan at June 30, 2022. At December 31, 2022 the Company had four single family residential loans and two commercial real estate loans classified as substandard compared to five single family residential loans and two commercial real estate loans classified as substandard at June 30, 2022. There were no loans classified as doubtful at December 31, 2022 or June 30, 2022.

Shareholders’ equity decreased $3.7 million, or 7.0%, to $48.7 million at December 31, 2022 from $52.3 million at June 30, 2022. The primary reasons for the changes in shareholders’ equity from June 30, 2022 were the repurchase of Company stock of $6.0 million, a decrease in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income of $877,000, and dividends paid totaling $781,000, partially offset by net income of $3.4 million, the vesting of restricted stock awards, stock options, and the release of employee stock ownership plan shares totaling $380,000, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the exercise of stock options of $199,000

The Company repurchased 291,000 shares of its common stock during the six months ended December 31, 2022 at an average price per share of $19.99. On February 16, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved an eleventh stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to 170,000 shares. The eleventh stock repurchase program was completed on August 2, 2022.
