    Comments from President and Chief Executive Officer
     
    “Despite slowing real estate refinance activity and robust PPP loan forgiveness, we were able to increase total loans this quarter. This loan growth, coupled with an improvement in our net interest margin which resulted from both the acceleration of fees earned on PPP loans and a lower cost of funds, resulted in another strong quarterly performance,” remarked Ms. Stewart, President, Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer.

    The Bank continued to maintain capital levels in excess of regulatory requirements and was categorized as "well-capitalized" at June 30, 2021.  

    Operating Results

    Net interest income increased $815 thousand, or 12.5%, to $7.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $6.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and increased $455 thousand, or 6.6%, from $6.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily the result of higher interest income earned on loans and lower interest expense paid on deposits. The increase from the same quarter last year was primarily the result of lower interest expense paid on deposits, partially offset by lower interest income earned on loans and higher interest expense paid on borrowings.

    Interest income increased $416 thousand, or 5.2%, to $8.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $8.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and decreased $293 thousand, or 3.4%, from $8.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The increase from the prior quarter was due to higher loan yields primarily due to U.S. Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) PPP loan forgiveness partially offset by adjustable rate loans resetting downward. During the second quarter 2021, the Bank originated $3.7 million in PPP loans, for a total of $42.8 million originated under the second PPP, that ended May 31, 2021, and which carry a 1% yield. The Bank recognized $1.0 million and $755 thousand in deferred fees and interest income related to PPP loans during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. The increase in the income recognized primarily relates to the loan forgiveness payments from the SBA with approximately 70% of the nearly $119.2 million of total PPP loans the Bank originated being forgiven. The decrease in interest income from the same quarter last year was due primarily to lower average loan balances, partially offset by a 22 basis point increase in the average loan yield.

    Interest income on loans increased $413 thousand, or 5.2%, to $8.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $7.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and decreased $332 thousand, or 3.8%, from $8.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The average balance of total loans was $628.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $628.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and $683.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The average yield on total loans was 5.30% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to 5.09% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and 5.08% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The increase in the average yield on loans during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter and the comparable quarter in 2020 primarily was due to the recognition of the net deferred fees for PPP loans repaid and forgiven by the SBA. Refer to the net interest margin discussion below for the impact of PPP. Interest income on investments and interest-bearing cash increased $3 thousand to $116 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $113 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and increased $39 thousand from $77 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The increase in the interest income on investment securities compared to the same quarter one year ago was due to higher average balances, partially offset by lower average yields.

    Interest expense decreased $399 thousand, or 27.3%, to $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and decreased $748 thousand, or 41.3%, from $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to lower interest rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits due in part to the deposit of PPP loan proceeds in the Bank, as well as increases in the volume of new small business account relationships. The decrease in interest expense from the comparable period a year ago was primarily the result of a decline in the weighted-average cost of deposits reflecting reduced rates paid on deposits and the repayment of FHLB advances, partially offset by the interest expense on subordinated notes issued in the third quarter of 2020. In addition, deposit costs were favorably impacted by the $18.5 million increase in average noninterest bearing deposits to $179.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $161.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and the $44.2 million increase from the same period last year. The increase in the average noninterest bearing deposits contributed to the 22 basis point decrease in the weighted-average cost of total deposits to 0.45% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, from 0.67% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and the decline of 58 basis points from 1.03% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The weighted-average cost of borrowings decreased to 5.81% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, from 5.88% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and increased from 2.08% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The weighted-average cost of borrowings increased from the same period a year ago as a result of the higher rate paid on the subordinated debt issued in the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the lower rate paid on FHLB borrowings during the second quarter of 2020.

    Net interest margin (annualized) was 3.36% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to 3.09% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and 3.69% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net interest margin from the prior quarter was due primarily to the higher average yield earned on loans and a 27 basis point decline in the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease from the comparable period in 2020 was due to yields earned on interest-earning assets declining at a faster rate than interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities following decreases in the short-term market rates in the second quarter of 2020 as changes in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits tend to lag changes in market interest rate. During the second quarter of 2021, the average yield earned on PPP loans, including the recognition of the net deferred fees for PPP loans repaid and forgiven by the SBA, resulted in a positive impact to the net interest margin of 24 basis points during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to a positive impact of 17 basis points during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and a negative impact of 6 basis points during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

    The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $250 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as compared to no provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and a provision for loan losses of $400 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The increase in the provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021 resulted primarily from the increase in the loans held-for-portfolio, partially offset by the decrease in non-performing loans. The decrease in the provision for loan losses in the current quarter compared to the comparable period in 2020 was primarily due to a decrease in the balance of loans held-for-portfolio and to a lesser extent a $2.0 million decrease in non-performing loans. The provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2021 also reflects the inherent economic improvements in our markets as initial COVID-19 restrictions implemented in the second quarter of last year have been lifted.

    Noninterest income decreased $1.0 million, or 36.7%, to $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and increased $133 thousand, or 8.4%, from $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The change in noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily reflects changes in the net gain on sale of loans. As a result of refinance activity slowing over the past quarter our residential loans originated for sale decreased. The increase in noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, primarily relates to increases in both our mortgage servicing income of $86 thousand and service fees and income of $97 thousand, partially offset by the decrease in our net gain on sale of loans. The increase in the service fees and income primarily resulted from the increase in checking accounts. Loans sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, totaled $39.9 million, compared to $68.1 million and $57.3 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

    Noninterest expense decreased $174 thousand, or 2.8%, to $6.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $6.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and increased $582 thousand, or 10.8%, from $5.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The decrease from the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was primarily a result of a decrease in salaries and benefits expense of $330 thousand primarily due higher expenses in the first quarter of 2021 related to stock-based compensation expense, an adjustment in the first quarter of 2021 related to 2020 bonuses as a result of a $60 thousand under accrual in 2020, partially offset by lower nonqualified deferred compensation and higher medical expense. The increase in noninterest expense compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits of $496 thousand primarily due to higher deferred compensation during 2020 and an increase in data processing expense of $168 thousand due to technology investments and variable costs associated with loan origination system activity. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $88 thousand in occupancy expense.

    The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was 66.07%, compared to 66.69% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and 63.79% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The improvement in the efficiency ratio for the current quarter compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to higher interest income in the current quarter. The weakening in the efficiency ratio for the current quarter compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to higher noninterest expense, partially offset by higher interest income and noninterest income.

    Balance Sheet Review, Capital Management and Credit Quality

    Assets at June 30, 2021 totaled $923.2 million, compared to $936.7 million at March 31, 2021 and $871.7 million at June 30, 2020. The decrease in assets from the sequential quarter was primarily due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a decrease in loans held-for-sale, partially offset by an increase in loans held-for-portfolio. The increase from one year ago was primarily a result of higher balances in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a decrease in loans held-for-portfolio.

    Cash and cash equivalents decreased $32.8 million, or 12.2%, to $236.8 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $269.6 million at March 31, 2021, and increased $106.3 million, or 81.4%, from $130.5 million at June 30, 2020. The decrease from the prior quarter-end was due to net loan growth and the decline in our total deposits, as a result of a managed run-off of higher costing maturing deposits. The increase from a year ago was due to significant deposit growth and the issuance of $12.0 million in subordinated debt during the third quarter of 2020.

    Available-for-sale securities totaled $7.5 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $9.1 million at March 31, 2021, and $10.2 million at June 30, 2020. The decrease in available-for-sale securities from the prior quarter was primarily due to the call of a $950 thousand municipal bond during the second quarter of 2021 and regularly scheduled payments and maturities. The decrease from the same period one year ago was primarily due to calls of securities, regularly scheduled payments and maturities, partially offset by purchases during the second half of 2020.

    Loans held-for-sale totaled $3.7 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $10.7 million at March 31, 2021 and $7.4 million at June 30, 2020.

    Loans held-for-portfolio increased to $639.6 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $614.4 million at March 31, 2021 and decreased from $690.7 million at June 30, 2020. The increase in loans held-for-portfolio at June 30, 2021, compared to the prior quarter, resulted from the increase in one-to-four family loans of $40.4 million, or 31.0%, to $170.4 million, driven primarily by the purchase of $24.1 million in jumbo loans during the second quarter of 2021, the increase of $8.8 million, or 13.9%, in construction and land loans, and the increase of $4.7 million, or 6.3%, in consumer loans. These increases were partially offset by decreases in commercial business loans which decreased $23.7 million, or 28.3%, to $60.0 million primarily due to the forgiveness by the SBA of $28.5 million of commercial business PPP loans during the quarter, and commercial and multifamily loans which decreased $7.4 million, or 2.9%, to $244.0 million. At June 30, 2021, compared to the comparable quarter in 2020, commercial business loans decreased $49.8 million, or 45.3%, to $60.0 million, commercial and multifamily loans decreased $29.0 million, or 10.6%, to $244.0 million, construction and land decreased $4.2 million, or 5.5%, to $71.9 million, home equity loans decreased $3.9 million, or 20.3%, to $15.4 million and floating homes decreased $2.5 million, or 5.4%, to $43.7 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in one-to-four family loans, which increased $32.4 million, or 23.5%, to $170.4 million, and other consumer loans, which increased $5.0 million, or 47.0%, to $15.6 million. At June 30, 2021, commercial and multifamily real estate loans accounted for approximately 38.0% of total loans, one-to-four family loans, including home equity loans accounted for approximately 28.9% of total loans, and commercial business loans accounted for approximately 9.4% of total loans. Consumer loans accounted for approximately 12.5% of total loans and construction and land loans accounted for approximately 11.2% of total loans at June 30, 2021.

    Nonperforming assets ("NPAs"), which are comprised of nonaccrual loans, including nonperforming troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") loans on nonaccrual status, other real estate owned ("OREO"), and other repossessed assets decreased $1.1 million, or 34.5%, to $2.2 million at June 30, 2021, from $3.3 million at March 31, 2021 and decreased $1.9 million, or 47.0% from $4.1 million at June 30, 2020. NPAs to total assets were 0.23%, 0.35% and 0.47% at June 30, 2021, March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The allowance for loan losses totaled $6.2 million, or 0.96% of total loans outstanding, at June 30, 2021 compared to $5.9 million, or 0.97% of total loans outstanding, at March 31, 2021 and $6.0 million, or 0.87% of total loans outstanding, at June 30, 2020. Excluding PPP loans of $36.0 million which are 100% guaranteed by the SBA, the allowance for loan losses totaled 1.02% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2021, compared to 1.07% of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2021, excluding PPP loans of $61.2 million, and 0.98% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2020, excluding PPP loans of $73.1 million (See Non-GAAP reconciliation on page 16). Net loan charge-offs during the second quarter of 2021 totaled $28 thousand compared to net charge-offs of $65 thousand for the first quarter 2021, and net charge-offs of $262 thousand for the second quarter of 2020.

    We are continuing to provide payment relief for both consumer and business clients, most of which relief involves interest only or payment deferrals that range from 90 to 180 days. Deferred loans are re-evaluated at the end of the deferral period and will either return to the original loan terms or be reassessed at that time to determine if a further modification should be granted and if a downgrade in risk rating is appropriate. As of June 30, 2021, we had residential and commercial loans under payment relief related to COVID-19 as summarized below (dollars in thousands, unaudited):

    (1) Entered into a forbearance agreement with a weighted-average loan-to-value of 72%, 68% and 72% for loans under their second, third or fourth request, respectively.
    (2) Entered into an interest-only payment agreement with a weighted-average loan-to-value of —%, —% and 65% for loans under their second, third or fourth request, respectively.

    The foregoing weighted average loan-to-values are based on appraisals obtained at the time of loan origination and the current loan amount. All of these loan modifications have been made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and are not classified as troubled debt restructurings pursuant to applicable accounting and regulatory guidance until the earlier of 60 days after the national emergency termination date or January 1, 2022. We believe the steps we are taking are necessary to effectively manage our portfolio and assist our clients through the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the duration, impact and government response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Deposits decreased $12.0 million, or 1.5%, to $804.7 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $816.7 million at March 31, 2021 and increased $110.4 million, or 15.9%, from $694.3 million at June 30, 2020. The decrease in deposits compared to the prior quarter was primarily a result of a managed run-off of higher costing maturing deposits. The increase in deposits compared to the year ago quarter was primarily the result of disbursements of PPP loan proceeds into borrowers' deposit accounts as well as stimulus funds deposited, developing further relationships with PPP borrowers who were not previously clients, as well as reduced withdrawals reflecting changes in customer spending habits due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 22.6% of total deposits at June 30, 2021, compared to 23.1% and 20.5% at March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. Our noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $6.8 million, or 3.6% to $181.8 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $188.7 million at March 31, 2021 and increased $39.4 million, or 27.6% from $142.5 million at June 30, 2020.

    There were no outstanding FHLB advances at both June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, as compared to $79.8 million at June 30, 2020. Subordinated notes, net totaled $11.6 million at both June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021. There were no subordinated notes outstanding at June 30, 2020.

    Stockholders’ equity totaled $89.5 million at June 30, 2021, an increase of $2.0 million, or 2.3%, from $87.6 million at March 31, 2021, and an increase of $9.3 million, or 11.6%, from $80.2 million at June 30, 2020. The increase in stockholders’ equity from March 31, 2021 was primarily the result of net income earned of $2.3 million, partially offset by the payment of $447 thousand in dividends to Company stockholders during the current quarter.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    We have presented a non-GAAP financial measure in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP for the allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding PPP loans. We have presented this non-GAAP financial measure because management believes this non-GAAP measure to be a useful measurement in evaluating the adequacy of the amount of the allowance for loan losses to total loans as the balance of SBA PPP loans is significant to the loan portfolio, but as SBA PPP loans are guaranteed by the SBA, we have not provided an allowance related to the loans. This non-GAAP financial measure has inherent limitations and is not required to be uniformly applied. Further, this non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the allowance for loan losses to total loans determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other financial institutions. Reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measurement is presented in the table below.
