FINANCIAL CONDITION DISCUSSION

Total Assets. Total assets were $892.7 million at September 30, 2024, an increase of $7.4 million, or 0.8%, from $885.3 million at December 31, 2023. The increase was due primarily to a $20.3 million increase in cash, which was primarily offset by decreases in loans and other non-earning assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $20.3 million, or 27.7%, to $94.1 million at September 30, 2024 from $73.5 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in cash is a result of the decrease in loans and the other non-interest bearing assets.

Loans Receivable. Loans receivable decreased $11.0 million, or 1.6%, to $693.2 million at September 30, 2024 from $704.8 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in the investor commercial real estate loan category was offset by decreases in most other loan categories.

Securities. Securities available for sale increased by $4.4 million or 12.6% from December 31, 2023 as paydowns in the mortgage-backed securities were offset by purchases used primarily to secure local government deposits. The held-to-maturity portfolio decreased by $4.2 million or 40.9% due to maturities and paydowns.

Total Liabilities. Total liabilities decreased $3.2 million or 0.5%, to $683.0 million at September 30, 2024 from $686.2 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease was due primarily to the decrease in borrowings as $3.0 million in junior subordinated debt was paid off in the first quarter of 2024.

Deposits. Total deposits increased $200,000, or 0.03% to $634.3 million at September 30, 2024 from $634.1 million at December 31, 2023. Interest-bearing deposits increased $2.9 million, or 0.6%, to $495.0 million at September 30, 2024 from $492.1 million at December 31, 2023. Noninterest bearing deposits decreased $2.7 million, or 1.9%, to $139.3 million at September 30, 2024 from $142.0 million at December 31, 2023.

Stockholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity increased $10.6 million, or 5.4%, to $209.7 million at September 30, 2024 from $199.1 million at December 31, 2023 primarily due to net income during the period.

RESULTS OF OPERATION DISCUSSION

Net Income. Net income was $3.8 million or $0.35 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $3.7 million or $0.35 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2023. In the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the provision for credit losses was a credit of $714,000 as a result of the improvement in the asset quality of the Company's loan portfolio.

The higher net income in the nine-months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2024 is due to , the Company recognized in 2023 a gain on the sale of foreclosed real estate of $678,000, a gain on the sale of fixed assets of $188,000 and received $225,000 in life insurance death benefits.
