Total gross loans of $112.4 million as of June 30, 2016 represent an increase of $5.5 million or 5.1% from $107.0 million as of December 31, 2015 and an increase of $17.9 million or 18.9% from $94.5 million as of June 30, 2015.

Both total gross loans and total deposits ended the quarter at their highest levels in the Bank’s history.
Net interest income of $1.78 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 represents a new quarterly record for the Bank and an increase of $273,000 or 18.2% from $1.50 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The primary contributor to this increase was growth in average loans. In addition, the Bank’s growth enabled the expansion of the investment securities portfolio, which generated increased interest income compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The Bank’s net interest margin was 3.09% for the second quarter of 2016, up from 2.95% for the same quarter a year ago.
John M. Jelavich, President and CEO, commented: “The Bank achieved the best quarter in its ten year history with new record levels reached in several key areas, including total assets and net income. Looking forward, prevailing thought now seems to be that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates lower for longer placing continued pressure on banking industry margins and profitability. Despite this possibility, we believe our Bank is well positioned for continued earnings growth. Our credit quality remains strong, and we see opportunity to further penetrate the markets we serve, which should drive further growth in our earning assets, our top-line interest income and bottom-line profitability.”
