At this time, we have no loans on deferral as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As has been in the past, construction lending for affordable housing units in high demand high absorption areas continues to be our focus.”
Highlights for the three months ended and at March 31, 2022 are as follows:
- Net income increased by $400,000, or 12.3%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Our allowance for loan losses totaled $5.3 million, or 0.53% of total loans at March 31, 2022 compared to $5.2 million, or 0.54% of total loans at December 31, 2021.
- In accordance with the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) since March 2020, we granted pandemic-related loan payment deferrals to 196 loans totaling $190.9 million at the time payment deferral was requested. At March 31, 2022, we had no loans in deferral status.
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets increased by $56.3 million, or 4.6%, to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2022, from $1.2 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase in assets was primarily due to increases in net loans of $34.1 million and cash and cash equivalents of $22.4 million.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $22.4 million, or 14.7%, to $174.7 million at March 31, 2022 from $152.3 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in cash was primarily attributable to an increase in deposits of $64.8 million. These sources of funds were deployed via an increase in net loans of $34.1 million, an increase in property and equipment of $1.6 million due primarily to the purchase of property and equipment for a new branch office, and a reduction in FHLB advances of $7.0 million.
Equity securities decreased by $634,000, or 3.2%, to $19.3 million at March 31, 2022 from $19.9 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in equity securities was primarily attributable to market depreciation of $634,000 as market interest rates increased during the March 31, 2022 quarter.
Securities held-to-maturity decreased by $241,000, or 1.3%, to $17.6 million at March 31, 2022 from $17.9 million at December 31, 2021 due primarily to maturities and pay-downs.
Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, increased by $34.1 million, or 3.5%, to $1.0 billion at March 31, 2022 from $968.1 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, was primarily due to loan originations of $121.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, consisting primarily of $112.8 million in construction loans with respect to which approximately 31.4% of the funds were disbursed at loan closings and the remaining funds to be disbursed over the terms of the construction loans.
Loan originations resulted in a net increase of $52.9 million in construction loans. The increase in our loan portfolio was partially offset by decreases in multi-family loans of $9.0 million, non-residential loans of $4.7 million, mixed-use loans of $2.3 million, and commercial and industrial loans of $2.9 million, coupled with normal pay-downs and principal reductions.
Premises and equipment increased by $1.6 million, or 6.6%, to $25.5 million at March 31, 2022 from $23.9 million at December 31, 2021 due to the acquisition of property and equipment for a new branch site located in Bloomingburg, New York.
Investments in restricted stock decreased by $315,000, or 20.1%, to $1.3 million at March 31, 2022 from $1.6 million at December 31, 2021 due to a reduction in mandatory Federal Home Loan Bank stock in connection with the maturity/pay-off of $7.0 million in advances during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
Accrued interest receivable increased by $460,000, or 10.7%, to $4.7 million at March 31, 2022 from $4.3 million at December 31, 2021 due to an increase in the loan portfolio.
Foreclosed real estate was $2.0 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Right of use assets — operating decreased by $134,000, or 5.2%, to $2.4 million at March 31, 2022 from $2.6 million at December 31, 2021, primarily due to amortization.
Other assets decreased by $1.1 million, or 23.8%, to $3.6 million at March 31, 2022 from $4.7 million at December 31, 2021 due to a decrease in tax assets of $1.1 million.
Total deposits increased by $64.8 million, or 7.0%, to $991.9 million at March 31, 2022 from $927.2 million at December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits of $50.4 million, or 15.2%, and an increase in savings account balances of $24.1 million, or 13.0%. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit of $8.3 million, or 2.9% and a decrease in NOW/money market accounts of $1.4 million, or 1.2%, from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased by $7.0 million, or 25.0%, to $21.0 million at March 31, 2022 from $28.0 million at December 31, 2021.
Advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance increased by $387,000, or 20.5%, to $2.3 million at March 31, 2022 from $1.9 million at December 31, 2021 due primarily to the accumulation of tax payments from borrowers.
Lease liability – operating decreased by $130,000, or 5.0%, to $2.5 million at March 31, 2022 from $2.6 million at December 31, 2021, primarily due to amortization.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $4.7 million, or 35.0%, to $8.8 million at March 31, 2022 from $13.5 million at December 31, 2021 due primarily to a decrease in suspense accounts for loan closings of $2.6 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $2.2 million.
Stockholders’ equity increased by $3.0 million, or 1.2% to $254.4 million at March 31, 2022, from $251.4 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in stockholders’ equity was due to net income of $3.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, a reduction of $217,000 in unearned employee stock ownership plan shares, and $19,000 in other comprehensive income, partially offset by dividends declared of $931,000.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income totaled $11.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $10.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The increase in net interest income of $1.6 million, or 15.2%, was primarily due to an increase in interest income combined with a decrease in interest expense.
The increase in interest income is attributable to increases in loans, investment securities, equity securities, and interest-bearing deposits as we continued to deploy the proceeds raised in our July 2021 second-step conversion. The decrease in interest expense is attributable to a decrease in the balances and cost of funds on our certificates of deposits, partially offset by increases in the balances and cost of funds in our interest-bearing demand deposits and our savings and club accounts.
In this regard, interest and dividend income increased by $1.5 million, or 12.3%, to $13.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 from $11.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 due to an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $268.0 million, or 29.7%, to $1.2 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 from $902.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, partially offset by a decrease in the yield on interest earning assets by 70 basis points from 5.24% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 to 4.54% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
Interest expense decreased by $117,000, or 8.0%, to $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 from $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 due to a decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities by 17 basis points from 1.02% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 to 0.85% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, partially offset by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of $60.0 million, or 10.4%, to $635.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 from $575.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Net interest margin decreased by 51 basis points, or 11.2%, during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 to 4.08% compared to 4.59% during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company recorded no loan loss provision for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to a loan loss provision of $17,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. We charged-off $10,000 and $11,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively, against various unpaid overdrafts in our demand deposit accounts. We recorded recoveries of $95,000 and $8,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $58,000 compared to non-interest income of $443,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in total non-interest income was primarily due to unrealized loss of $634,000 on equity securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to an unrealized loss of $155,000 on equity securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The unrealized loss of $634,000 on equity securities was primarily due to a rising interest rate environment and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate increase during the March 31, 2022 quarter.
The decrease in total non-interest income was partially offset by an increase of $69,000 in other loan fees and service charges, an increase of $19,000 in investment advisory fees, and an increase of $5,000 in other non-interest income.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased by $666,000, or 10.2%, to $7.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 from $6.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The increase resulted primarily from increases of $455,000 in other operating expense, $171,000 in salaries and employee benefits, $41,000 in equipment expense, $30,000 in occupancy expense, and $30,000 in advertising expense, partially offset by decreases of $51,000 in outside data processing expense and $10,000 in real estate owned expense.
Income Taxes
We recorded income tax expense of $1.1 million and $982,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we had approximately $184,000 in tax exempt income, compared to approximately $162,000 in tax exempt income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Our effective income tax rates were 23.5% and 23.2% for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Asset Quality
Non-performing assets totaled $2.0 million at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We had no non-performing loans at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Our ratio of non-performing assets to total assets remained low at 0.16% at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Based on a review of the loans that were in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2022, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that represents its best estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio that were both probable and reasonably estimable.
The Company’s allowance for loan losses totaled $5.3 million, or 0.53% of total loans as of March 31, 2022, compared to $5.2 million, or 0.54% of total loans as of December 31, 2021.
Capital
The Company’s total stockholder’s equity to assets was 19.85% as of March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022, the Company had the ability to borrow $30.5 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.
The Bank’s capital position remains strong relative to current regulatory requirements and the Bank is considered a well-capitalized institution under the Prompt Corrective Action framework. As of March 31, 2022, the Bank had a tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 16.03% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.03%.
