(1) The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains on asset sales, gains on real estate owned and other noninterest income recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance, which includes purchased loans held for sale, on an annualized basis.  The total return on purchased loans does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries during the period. Total return on purchased loans is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.

  1. Deposits increased by $65.1 million, or 7.3%, from June 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018, attributable primarily to increases in money market accounts of $46.3 million, or 12.4%, and time deposits of $15.1 million, or 4.5%.
     
  2. Shareholders’ equity increased by $15.6 million, or 12.7%, from June 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018, primarily due to earnings of $16.2 million. Earnings were partially offset by stock option exercises which decreased additional paid-in-capital by $1.2 million. Additionally, there was stock based compensation of $870 thousand, an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $129 thousand, and dividends paid on common stock of $355 thousand.

Net income increased by $317 thousand to $4.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to net income of $4.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

  1. Net interest and dividend income before provision for loan losses increased by $651 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The increase is primarily due to higher average balances in the loan portfolio. These increases were partially offset by higher funding costs and higher average deposit balances.

The components of total income on purchased loans are set forth in the table below entitled “Total Return on Purchased Loans.” Wh­en compared to the three months and year ended June 30, 2017, transactional income for the three months and year ended June 30, 2018 decreased by $1.2 million and $439 thousand, respectively. The total return on p­­­­­­­­urchased loans for the three months and year ended June 30, 2018 was 11.49% and 11.73%, respectively. The decrease over the prior comparable periods was primarily due to higher accelerated accretion in the three months and year ended June 30, 2017. The following table details the total return on purchased loans:

(1) The total return on purchased loans represents scheduled accretion, accelerated accretion, gains on asset sales, gains on real estate owned and other noninterest income recorded during the period divided by the average invested balance, which includes purchased loans held for sale, on an annualized basis.  The total return does not include the effect of purchased loan charge-offs or recoveries in the quarter. Total return is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.

2. Noninterest income decreased by $931 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, principally due to the following:

  • A decrease in gain on sale of SBA loans of $833 thousand, due to a lower volume of SBA loans sold in the quarter;
  • A decrease in fees for other services to customers of $161 thousand, due to lower commercial loan servicing fees; and
  • A decrease in gain on sale of residential loans of $134 thousand, due to lower volume of residential loans sold in the quarter.
  • The decreases in noninterest income were partially offset by an increase in gain on sale of other loans of $402 thousand, due to the sale of two LASG purchased loans in the quarter. 

3. Noninterest expense increased by $114 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to the following:

  • An increase in data processing fees of $142 thousand, primarily due to the increased cost associated with the outsourcing of data processing;
  • An increase in loan expense of $123 thousand, largely driven by higher expense related to loan acquisition and refinance activity; and
  • An increase in other noninterest expense of $43 thousand, primarily due to increased travel expense.
  • The increases in noninterest expense were partially offset by a decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $219 thousand, primarily due to lower headcount, and a decrease in incentive compensation for the quarter.   

4. Income tax expense decreased by $576 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to the following:

  • A decrease in the federal corporate income tax rate as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law on December 22, 2017, which resulted in a $464 thousand decrease in federal income tax expense; and
  • A decrease in income tax expense as a result of a $114 thousand income tax benefit arising from the treatment of stock options exercised under ASU 2016-09, Compensation–Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, whereby the tax effects of exercised options are treated as a discrete item in the reporting period in which they occur.

As of June 30, 2018, nonperforming assets totaled $14.2 million, or 1.23% of total assets, as compared to $14.6 million, or 1.25% of total assets, as of March 31, 2018, and $14.8 million, or 1.37% of total assets, as of June 30, 2017.

As of June 30, 2018, past due loans totaled $7.7 million, or 0.89% of total loans, as compared to $11.2 million, or 1.37% of total loans as of March 31, 2018, and $13.4 million, or 1.72% of total loans as of June 30, 2017.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 13.1%, compared to 12.8% at June 30, 2017, and the Total capital ratio was 19.3%, compared to 19.5% at June 30, 2017.
