RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Linked Quarter Basis Net income was $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared with net income of $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2021. Earnings per share were $0.24 basic and fully diluted for the second quarter of 2021 and $0.30 basic and fully diluted for the first quarter of 2021. Provision for loan losses reflected a credit of $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared with no provision in the second quarter of 2021. Continued improvement in credit quality and loan risk ratings was the driver behind the recapture in the first quarter of previous provision. There was a more stable economic climate in the first and second quarters of 2021 compared with each quarter in 2020. Net interest income increased by $419,000 in the second quarter compared with the first quarter of 2021. Net interest income was positively affected by a continuation of decreasing costs in interest expense, which declined $215,000 on a linked quarter basis, and by an increase of $204,000 in interest and dividend income. Noninterest income decreased $167,000 on a linked quarter basis while noninterest expenses increased by $437,000 , driven by merger related expenses of $570,000 .

Net Interest Income
Linked Quarter Basis Net interest income was $14.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 . This was a linked quarter increase of $419,000 , or 3.0% . Interest and dividend income on a linked quarter basis increased $204,000 , or 1.3% , to $16.1 million for the second quarter of 2021. Interest and dividend income on taxable securities increased $228,000 in the second quarter compared with the first quarter of 2021 and was $1.7 million . Excess liquidity was invested in the second quarter, and the average balance of taxable securities increased by $37.6 million , or 16.0% , over the prior quarter. Interest income with respect to loans, excluding PCI loans, increased $46,000 , or 0.3% , during the second quarter of 2021 when compared with the first quarter of 2021. Interest income on PCI loans decreased $72,000 on a linked quarter basis as the average balance declined $3.4 million .
The average balance of loans, excluding PCI loans, increased by $13.3 million , or 1.1% , on a linked quarter basis, to $1.20 5 billion for the second quarter of 2021. However, loans that paid off late in the second quarter of 2021 reduced the period end balance below the average for the second quarter, and loans totaled $1.19 2 billion at period end. The yield on loans for the second quarter of 2021 was 4.39% compared with 4.48% in the first quarter of 2021. The yield on all loans for the second quarter of 2021 was 4.58% and 4.68% for the first quarter of 2021.
Interest income on securities was $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared with $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. Interest bearing bank balances income was $54,000 in the second quarter of 2021 compared with $60,000 in the first quarter of 2021.
Interest income on securities on a tax-equivalent basis equaled $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2021. The tax-equivalent yield on the securities portfolio was 2.63% in the second quarter of 2021 compared with 2.65% in the first quarter of 2021. The average balance of securities increased $38.7 million during the second quarter of 2021 as excess liquidity was invested by the Company. As a result of these changes in rate and volume, the yield on earning assets decreased from 4.12% in the first quarter of 2021 to 3.97% in the second quarter of 2021.
Interest expense of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2021 was a decrease of $215,000 , or 12.1% , on a linked quarter basis. Interest on deposits decreased $218,000 , or 13.9% . The cost of interest bearing deposits decreased from 0.58% in the first quarter of 2021 to 0.48% in the second quarter of 2021. The Company's cost of interest bearing liabilities of 0.52% in the second quarter of 2021 was a decrease of 10 basis points from the prior quarter when the cost of interest bearing liabilities was 0.62% .
With the changes in net interest income noted above, the tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased on a linked quarter basis and was 3.58% in the second quarter of 2021 compared with 3.66% in the first quarter of 2021. The interest spread was 3.45% for the current quarter compared with 3.50% in the prior quarter. The Company also examined the effects on the net interest margin without the effects of PPP net fees, interest income and average balances. Excluding these PPP related items from the net interest margin calculation would have resulted in a margin of 3.54% in the second quarter of 2021 compared with the actual margin of 3.58% . The same exclusion of PPP related items would have resulted in a margin of 3.59% in the first quarter of 2021 compared with the actual margin of 3.66% . The yield on the loan portfolio would have been 4.38% in the second quarter of 2021 when excluding the PPP related items versus the actual yield of 4.39% . The yield on the loan portfolio would have been 4.43% in the first quarter of 2021 when excluding the PPP related items versus the actual yield of 4.48% with the PPP related items. The yield on earning assets would have been 3.94% without the PPP related items as opposed to the actual yield of 3.97% when including the PPP related items. For the first quarter of 2021, the yield on earning assets would have been 4.07% without the PPP related items as opposed to the actual yield of 4.12% when including the PPP related items.
Year-over-Year Second Quarter Net interest income increased $2.1 million , or 17.3% , from the second quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2021. Net interest income was $14.5 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared with $12.4 million for the same period in 2020. Interest and dividend income increased $313,000 , or 2.0% , over this time period. In the second quarter of 2021, $562,000 in PPP net origination fees were recognized as income versus $304,000 in the same period of 2020. Interest and fees on loans were $13.2 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $184,000 , or 1.4% , over the same period in 2020. Interest and fees on PCI loans decreased by $278,000 and were $784,000 in the second quarter of 2021. Securities income was $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $394,000 over the same period in 2020. Income on interest on deposits in other banks increased by $13,000 year over year.
The average balance of the loan portfolio, excluding PCI loans, increased by $58.7 million year over year and averaged $1.20 5 billion for the second quarter of 2021. The average balance of the PCI portfolio declined $10.2 million during the year-over-year comparison period. The average balance of securities increased by $82.8 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared with the same period one year earlier. The average balance of total earning assets increased $165.0 million , or 11.2% , from the second quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2021. The yield on earning assets decreased from 4.33% in the second quarter of 2020 to 3.97% in the second quarter of 2021. The change in yield on earning assets was the culmination of decreases in the yield on all loans, from 4.80% in the second quarter of 2020 to 4.58% in the second quarter of 2021, in the tax-equivalent yield on securities, from 2.88% in the second quarter of 2020 to 2.63% in the second quarter of 2021, and in the yield on interest bearing bank balances, from 0.31% to 0.25% year over year.
Interest expense decreased $1.8 million , or 53.8% , when comparing the second quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2020. Interest expense on deposits decreased $1.8 million , or 57.7% , as the cost declined from 1.20% in the second quarter of 2020 to 0.48% for the same period in 2021. The average balance of interest bearing deposits increased $60.2 million , or 5.6% . This growth was from non-maturity deposit sources. First, there was an increase of $86.7 million , or 47.7% , in the average balance of interest bearing checking accounts, which averaged $268.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. Additionally, there was an increase of $81.5 million in the average balance of savings and money market accounts from the second quarter of 2020 to the same period in 2021. Offsetting these increases was a decrease of $108.0 million in the average balance of time deposits, to $535.5 million for the second quarter of 2021. FHLB and other borrowings costs were stable over the time frame and were 1.22% in the second quarter of 2021 compared with 1.15% for the same period in 2020. All of the above contributed to the reduction of interest expense for interest bearing liabilities by $1.8 million despite an increase of $60.1 million in the average amount outstanding. Also noteworthy is that, although not an interest bearing category, a sizeable amount of funding was generated in the second quarter of 2021 by a year-over-year average balance increase of $83.7 million in noninterest bearing deposits. The amount of liquidity in the banking system, along with lower interest rates and a shift in deposit balances, decreased the cost of interest bearing liabilities from 1.19% in the second quarter of 2020 to 0.52% in the second quarter of 2021.
The tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 18 basis points, from 3.40% in the second quarter of 2020 to 3.58% in the second quarter of 2021. Likewise, the interest spread increased from 3.14% to 3.45% over the same time period. The increase in the margin was precipitated by a decrease of 36 basis points in the yield on earning assets compared with a greater decline of 67 basis points in the cost of interest bearing liabilities applied against growth of $165.0 million , or 11.2% , in earning assets. As noted in the linked quarter discussion above, without the effects of PPP related items the net interest margin would have been 3.54% in the second quarter of 2021.
Year-over-Year Six Months Net interest income was $28.6 million for the first six months of 2021. This is an increase of $4.0 million , or 16.2% , from net interest income of $24.6 million for the first six months of 2020. Interest and dividend income increased by $227,000 over this time frame. Interest and dividend income was impacted by volume increases offset by a decline in yield. First, there was an increase of $248,000 , or 1.0% , in interest and fees on loans, which increased as a result of growth of $92.5 million , or 8.4% , in the average balance of loans in 2021 over 2020. The yield on loans declined from 4.73% for the first six months of 2020 to 4.43% for the same period in 2021. Interest and fees on PCI loans declined by $519,000 , or 24.0% . The yield on the PCI portfolio was 15.16% for the first six months of 2021 compared with 13.94% for the first six months of 2020. Interest and dividends on securities increased by $494,000 in the first six months of 2021 compared with the same period in 2020. The average balance of the securities portfolio increased $67.7 million , or 28.7% , and the yield declined from 2.98% for the first six months of 2020 to 2.64% for the same period in 2021. The yield on earning assets was 4.04% for the first six months of 2021, a decline of 50 basis points from 4.54% in the first six months of 2020. The yield on total loans, which includes PCI loans and PPP loans, declined from 4.99% for the first six months of 2020 compared to 4.63% for the same period in 2021.
Interest expense of $3.3 million for the first six months of 2021 was a decrease of $3.8 million , or 52.8% , from interest expense of $7.1 million for the first six months of 2020. The cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased over this time frame from 1.28% for the first six months of 2020 to 0.57% for the same period in 2021. Interest on deposits decreased $3.7 million due to a decline in the rate paid from 1.27% for the first six months of 2020 to 0.53% for the first six months of 2021. The average balance of interest bearing liabilities increased over this time frame by $64.7 million , or 5.8% . Short term borrowing expense decreased by $23,000 , and the cost of FHLB and other borrowings decreased by $38,000 , or 8.0% , as the rate paid decreased from 1.36% for the first six months of 2020 to 1.23% for the first six months of 2021.
The changes noted to interest income and interest expense led to an increase in the net interest margin from 3.53% for the first six months of 2020 to 3.62% for the same period in 2021. The interest spread also increased over this time frame from 3.26% in 2020 to 3.47% in 2021. Excluding PPP related items from the net interest margin calculation would have resulted in a margin of 3.57% for the first six months of 2021 compared with the actual margin of 3.62% . Excluding PPP related items from the net interest margin calculation for the first six months of 2020 would have resulted in a margin of 3.54% for the first six months of 2020 compared with the actual margin of 3.53% . The yield on the loan portfolio for the first six months of 2021 would have been 4.40% excluding PPP related items versus the actual yield of 4.43% . The yield on the loan portfolio for the first six months of 2020 would have been 4.78% excluding PPP related items versus the actual yield of 4.73% with PPP related items. The yield on earning assets for the first six months of 2021 would have been 4.00% without PPP related items as opposed to the actual yield of 4.04% . The yield on earning assets for the first six months of 2020 would have been 4.58% without PPP related items as opposed to the actual yield of 4.54% that included the PPP related items.
The following table compares the Company's net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 , March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020 and the six months ended June 30 2021 and June 30, 2020 .

The recovery of provision recorded in the first quarter of 2021 was due to continued improvement in the quality of the loan portfolio and an overall improvement in the risks associated with the potential economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which continued through the second quarter of 2021. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, management performs a review of each loan within the portfolio to identify, and monitor on a going forward basis, those borrowers that management believed to be possibly impacted by the economy. Loans identified with increased risk are aggregated by loan type. During the first quarter of 2020, this analysis indicated a risk grade migration in a number of loan categories that led to a heightened risk level in the loan portfolio. The impact of the loans' risk grade migration was applied to the allowance for loan loss calculation, which led to the provision for loan losses of $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2020. The Company determined that no provision was necessary for the third or fourth quarters of 2020 after a similar analysis and review process. Despite the stay-at-home orders, shut downs, higher than historical unemployment levels and slow growth, the loan portfolio has exhibited a trend over the last year of lower nonaccrual loans, lower other real estate loans and very low charge-offs.
With respect to the PCI portfolio, no provision was recorded during the first six months of 2021 or 2020 due to the stable nature of the portfolio's performance. Additional discussion of loan quality is presented below.

Offsetting these decreases to noninterest income was an increase of $139,000 in other noninterest income, which was $435,000 in the second quarter of 2021. The increase was driven mainly by an increase of $199,000 in partnership investment income, partially offset by decreases of $39,000 and $48,000 in swap fee and brokerage/commission fee income, respectively. Additionally, there was an increase of $119,000 in service charges and fees, which were $651,000 .

Service charges and fees of $1.3 million for the first six months of 2021 was an increase of $126,000 over the same period in 2020. These increases were primarily offset by a decrease of $215,000 in gain (loss) on securities transactions, net, which were losses of $12,000 for the first six months of 2021 compared with gains of $203,000 for the first six months of 2020.

Other operating expenses increased $752,000 , from $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2021 to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase includes $570,000 in merger related expenses from legal, professional and director fees during the second quarter of 2021. Also, there was an assessment of the fair value of a low income housing tax credit investment that resulted in a downward adjustment of $154,000 . Salaries and employee expenses of $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 was an increase of $144,000 , or 2.8% , on a linked quarter basis. Data processing fees of $741,000 in the second quarter of 2021 is an increase of $133,000 over the linked quarter. Offsetting these increases to noninterest expenses was a decrease of $442,000 in other real estate expenses, net, which were a credit of $431,000 in the second quarter of 2021 and reflect gains on the disposition of other real estate owned in the second quarter of 2021.

Occupancy expenses decreased by $75,000 , from $836,000 in the first quarter of 2021 to $761,000 in the second quarter of 2021.
Year-over-Year Second Quarter Noninterest expenses were $9.2 million for the second quarter of 2021. This is an increase of $1.3 million , or 16.8% , from noninterest expenses of $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2020. The largest component of the increase was an increase in other noninterest expenses, which were $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $932,000 over the same quarter one year earlier. The increase reflects $570,000 of merger related expenses noted above along with increases of $105,000 and $73,000 in legal and professional fees, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits of $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 increased $739,000 over the second quarter of 2020. The second quarter of 2020 was positively affected by credits to internal costs for the volume of PPP loans that were booked in the quarter. Data processing fees of $741,000 in the second quarter of 2021 reflected an increase of $168,000 year over year. Offsetting these increases was a year-over-year decline of $427,000 in other real estate expenses, net, which reflect gains on the disposition of other real estate owned in the second quarter of 2021, in which they were a credit of $431,000 . Also offsetting these increases year over year were a decrease of $48,000 in FDIC assessment, which was $108,000 in the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of $28,000 in equipment expenses, which was $317,000 , and a decrease of $17,000 in occupancy expenses, which was $761,000 .
Year-over-Year Six Months Noninterest expenses were $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 , an increase of $1.5 million , or 9.0% , year over year. Other operating expenses were $3.9 million and increased by $1.0 million in the first six months of 2021 compared with the same period in 2020. Part of the increase is attributed to $570,000 in merger related expenses, $154,000 for the low income housing tax credit investment adjustment, $201,000 increase in legal fees, and $114,000 increase in professional fees incurred during the second quarter of 2021. Salaries and employee benefits of $10.6 million were an increase of $795,000 for the first six months of 2021 over the same period in 2020. Another portion of the increase, $559,000 , was the result of the large loan volume of PPP loans in the second quarter of 2020 that generated ASC 310-20 credits to salaries and employee benefits. Data processing fees, which were $1.3 million , increased by $184,000 , or 15.8% , for the first six months of 2021 over the same period in 2020. Offsetting these increases was a decrease of $422,000 in other real estate expenses, net, as a result of gains recognized in the second quarter of 2021 on the disposition of other real estate owned. Also offsetting these increases was a decline of $112,000 in equipment expenses, which was $605,000 for the first half of 2021.

The Company's securities portfolio, excluding restricted equity securities, was $341.6 million at June 30, 2021 and increased $49.1 million during the first half of 2021 and $90.5 million since June 30, 2020 . U.S. Treasury issues decreased by $13.3 million during the first half of 2021. U.S. Government agencies increased $21.9 million during the first half of 2021 and were $47.8 million at June 30, 2021 .

The majority of this category growth, $56.9 million , occurred in interest bearing bank balances, which were $102.0 million at June 30, 2021 , as large amounts of liquidity have been funneled into the banking system through the facilitation of PPP loans by the banking industry and stimulus checks issued by the U.S. Treasury under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act").
The following table shows the composition of the Company's securities portfolio, excluding equity securities, restricted, at June 30, 2021 , December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 .

Interest bearing deposits at June 30, 2021 were $1.14 9 billion , an increase of $49.3 million , or 4.5% , from December 31, 2020 . Interest bearing checking accounts of $285.0 million grew by $45.4 million , or 19.0% , during the first six months of 2021 and $89.6 million , or 45.8% , year over year. Money market deposit accounts were $182.7 million at June 30, 2021 and grew $28.2 million , or 18.3% , during the first six months of 2021 and $34.7 million , or 23.4% , year over year. Savings accounts totaled $142.1 million at June 30, 2021 and grew $17.7 million , or 14.3% , during the first half of 2021. Strong growth in these non-maturity categories for the year has allowed the Bank to react to lower interest rates through proactive repricing in certificates of deposit, the highest costing deposit category. As a result, there has been a decline in time deposits less than or equal to $250,000 , which decreased by $27.0 million , or 6.0% , in the first half of 2021 and were $425.8 million at June 30, 2021 . Year over year, time deposits less than or equal to $250,000 declined $66.9 million , or 13.6% . Time deposits over $250,000 declined $15.0 million in the first half of 2021 and were $113.4 million at June 30, 2021 . Year over year, time deposits over $250,000 declined by $26.6 million , or 19.0% . Time deposit balances combined were 46.9% of interest bearing deposits at June 30, 2021 and 36.2% of all deposit balances. This is a decline from 52.9% of interest bearing balances and 41.6% of all deposit balances at December 31, 2020 . At June 30, 2020 , time deposit balances were 58.3% of interest bearing deposits and 46.4% of all deposit balances. The growth in interest bearing checking accounts, money market accounts and savings accounts, as well as in noninterest bearing checking accounts, was $132.2 million during the first half of 2021. A portion of this growth was associated with the PPP loans originated during 2020 and 2021 and stimulus checks issued under the CARES Act, as well as previously postponed business activity that resulted from the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders.
The following table compares the mix of interest bearing deposits at June 30, 2021 , March 31, 2021 , December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 .

FHLB borrowings were $67.5 million at June 30, 2021 compared with $57.8 million at December 31, 2020 and $68.2 million at June 30, 2020 . The stable level of FHLB borrowings during 2020 and into 2021 has been due to the FHLB swiftly responding to the March 16, 2020 rate cut of 1.50% to the discount rate by repricing advances downward to ensure low cost liquidity for the banking system. As a result, the Bank has found this level of borrowing to be a stable source of low cost funding. The average rate paid on FHLB borrowings was 1.23% during the first half of 2021. There were no Federal funds purchased at June 30, 2021 or December 31 , 2020.
Shareholders' equity was $179.7 million at June 30, 2021 , or 10.3% of total assets, compared with $169.7 million , or 10.3% of total assets, at December 31 , 2020.
Asset Quality – excluding PCI loans
Nonperforming loans were $3.6 million at June 30, 2021 , a decrease of $950,000 from December 31, 2020. Nonperforming loans declined $670,000 year over year. Total non-performing assets totaled $3.9 million at June 30, 2021 compared with $8.9 million at December 31, 2020 . Non-performing assets declined $4.8 million , or 55.0% , year over year. On April 7, 2021 , the Company sold an item included in other real estate owned at March 31, 2021 in the amount of $3.8 million , and this sale was the primary reason for the decline in non-performing assets. There were net recoveries of $66,000 in the first half of 2021.
The allowance for loan losses equaled 309.6% of nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2021 compared with 276.7% at December 31, 2020 . The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and other real estate owned (OREO) was 0.33% at June 30, 2021 compared with 0.75% at December 31, 2020 .
The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.92% at June 30, 2021 compared with 1.04% at December 31, 2020 and 1.05% at June 30, 2020 . The volume of PPP loans originated since the second quarter of 2020 impacted the ratio. PPP loans, net of fees, were $52.0 million at June 30, 2021 and $49.3 million at December 31, 2020 . At June 30, 2021 , when excluding PPP loans, the allowance for loan losses to total loans would have been 0.97% . These loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA in accordance with the CARES Act; therefore, no allowance is required. The Company monitors and adjusts the allowance for loan losses based on loans requiring a reserve.
The following table reconciles the activity in the Company's allowance for loan losses, by quarter, for the past five quarters.
