As a result of receiving new information on one credit, an additional provision for loan losses of $1,135,000 has been recorded for the second quarter of 2020.

The adjusted loss per weighted average common share for the second quarter of 2020 was $0.06 compared to loss per weighted average common share of $0.06 for the second quarter of 2019. Per share figures are based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 4,883,764 and 4,943,186 for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Adjusted earnings per weighted average common share for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $0.17 compared to earnings per weighted average common share of $0.02 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
