The Company recorded gross loan balances of $1.091 billion at June 30, 2021, compared with $1.206 billion and $1.146 billion at June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively, a decrease of $116 million and $55 million, respectively. The improving economic environment is reflected in the growth of our gross loans (excluding PPP loans) which increased $22.8 million (5% annualized) since December 31, 2020.

Gross loan balances in the table above include a net fair value discount for loans acquired from Merchants of $694 thousand, $1.3 million and $810 thousand at June 30, 2021, June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively. We recorded $115 thousand, $216 thousand and $110 thousand in accretion of the discount for these loans during the quarters ended June 30, 2021, June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)

We have funded 853 loans totaling $210.8 million under the two PPP loan programs through June 30, 2021.

First PPP Loan Program - 2020

During 2020, we originated 606 loans totaling $163.5 million in the first PPP loan program. Most of the loans have subsequently been forgiven and repaid. At June 30, 2021, we have 47 loans totaling $12.3 million in the program. The majority of the first program loans have a two-year term over which the loan fee income (net of loan origination costs) is earned. When a PPP loan is repaid prior to maturity, all unamortized fees and cost associated with the loan are accelerated into income. During the current quarter, 181 loans totaling $66.7 million were repaid and we recognized $560 thousand in accelerated net fee income compared to 259 loans repaid totaling $51.8 million and $1.0 million in accelerated net fee income in the prior quarter. At June 30, 2021, net loan fees totaling $142 thousand remain to be earned and we anticipate that most of it will be recognized during the third quarter of 2021.

Second PPP Loan Program - 2021

During the first quarter of 2021, the SBA announced a second PPP loan program. The SBAs second PPP loan program provided first draw PPP loans to borrowers who were ineligible under the first PPP loan program (sole proprietors, ITIN business owners, small business owners with non-fraud felony convictions and small business owners who have struggled with student loan debt) and allowed second draw PPP loans to qualifying businesses that received a first draw under SBAs first PPP loan program. The loans were available until May 31, 2021, were limited to $2 million, had a five-year term and SBA increased the lender fees for loans under $50 thousand to incentivize lenders to work with smaller borrowers.

During 2021, we originated 247 loans totaling $47.3 million in the second PPP loan program. During the second quarter, we began to process loan forgiveness applications. At June 30, 2021, we have 234 loans totaling $46.7 million in the program. We anticipate that the loans in the second PPP loan program will have a lower yield as net loan fee income will be recognized over a five-year term instead of the two-year term of the first program. Borrowers may submit a loan forgiveness application after using the loan proceeds and submitting an application for forgiveness of their first PPP loan. When a PPP loan is repaid prior to maturity, all unamortized fees and cost associated with the loan are accelerated into income. During the current quarter, 13 loans totaling $629 thousand were repaid and we recognized $28 thousand in accelerated net fee income. At June 30, 2021, net loan fees totaling $1.5 million remain to be earned.

The following tables provide additional information on the PPP loans by industry and by loan balance at June 30, 2021 for loans in both PPP loan programs.

As of June 30, 2021, we maintained noninterest-bearing cash positions of $21.0 million and interest-bearing deposits of $156.1 million at the Federal Reserve Bank and correspondent banks. During the current quarter, we continued to invest our increased liquidity into our investment securities portfolio.

Unprecedented deposit growth during the last year as a result of PPP programs and changes in customer behavior has led to a significant increase in the size of our investment securities portfolio. Investment securities totaled $579.7 million at June 30, 2021, compared with $280.2 million and $517.4 million at June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2021, we purchased securities with a par value of $110.0 million and weighted average yield of 1.52% (1.57% tax equivalent). Investment purchases were comprised primarily of municipal bonds and mortgage backed securities. We sold securities with a par value of $26.1 million resulting in net realized gain of $64 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

At June 30, 2021, our net unrealized gains on available-for-sale investment securities were $6.3 million compared with net unrealized gains of $10.1 million and $4.0 million at June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively. The fluctuation in net unrealized gains was due to changes in market interest rates.

Total deposits at June 30, 2021, increased $203 million or 14% to $1.697 billion compared to June 30, 2020 and increased $83 million or 21% annualized compared to March 31, 2021. Total non-maturing deposits increased $203.8 million or 15% compared to the same date a year ago and increased $79.7 million or 22% annualized compared to March 31, 2021. The increase in non-maturing deposits compared to the same period one year ago was due to PPP loan program disbursements and changes in customer behavior, which is placing greater emphasis on savings during the economic slowdown. Management assumes that depositor behavior will change at a later date, but is unable to predict the timing of that change. Certificates of deposit decreased $749 thousand or 1% compared to the same date a year ago and increased $3.3 million or 10% annualized compared to March 31, 2021.

The following table presents the average cost of interest-bearing deposits, all deposits and all interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated.

Equity

As detailed in Table 1, management believes the capital ratios remain adequate for the Companys risk profile.

In late 2019, we announced a program to repurchase 1.0 million common shares which was later increased to 1.5 million common shares. Between October of 2019 and April of 2020, all 1.5 million shares were repurchased at a total cost of $13.6 million including commissions, or an average of $9.11 per share.

In late 2020, we announced a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to 1.0 million shares of common stock over a period ending December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, no shares have been repurchased under this plan.

Second Quarter of 2021 Compared with the Second Quarter of 2020

Net income for the second quarter of 2021 increased $292 thousand compared to the second quarter of 2020. In the current quarter, net interest income was $181 thousand higher, provision for loan and lease losses was $1.3 million lower and noninterest income was $176 thousand higher. These positive changes were partially offset by noninterest expense that was $1.0 million higher and a provision for income taxes that was $356 thousand higher.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $181 thousand compared to the same period a year ago.

Interest income for the second quarter of 2021 decreased $269 thousand or 2% to $14.7 million.

-- During the second quarter of 2021, we recognized $588 thousand in accelerated net fee income on PPP loans forgiven or repaid during the quarter. These accelerated loan fees increased the average yield on loans for the second quarter of 2021 by 21 basis points and increased the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2021 by 13 basis points. -- PPP loans had an average balance of $104.0 million and yield of 4.10% (1.83% excluding accelerated fee income) for the second quarter of 2021 compared to an average balance of $132.8 million and yield of 2.46% for the same period a year ago. -- Excluding PPP loans, interest and fees on loans decreased $1.0 million due to a $16.7 million decrease in average loan balances and a 34 basis point decrease in average yield. -- Interest on investment securities increased $520 thousand due to a $265.6 million increase in average investment securities balances partially offset by a 91 basis point decrease in average yield. -- Interest on interest-bearing deposits due from banks increased $6 thousand due to a $31.6 million increase in average interest-bearing deposit balances partially offset by a 1 basis point decrease in average yield. During 2020, in response to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve cut short-term interest rates by 150 to 175 basis points and has provided guidance that it expects interest rates to remain low for an extended period of time.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2021 decreased $450 thousand or 37% to $764 thousand.

-- Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased $385 thousand. Average interest-bearing demand and savings deposit balances increased $141.6 million, while average certificate of deposit balances decreased $3.6 million. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased 21 basis points from 0.43% to 0.22%. -- Interest expense on FHLB borrowings decreased $5 thousand. There were no FHLB borrowings during the current quarter. Average FHLB borrowings were $16.0 million during the same period a year ago. During the second quarter of 2020, we took advantage of a program offered by the FHLB that bore no interest. The average rate paid on FHLB borrowings was 0.13% during the second quarter of 2020. -- Interest expense on other term debt decreased $46 thousand. The average debt balance was essentially unchanged, while the average rate paid decreased 188 basis points. -- Interest expense on junior subordinated debentures decreased $14 thousand. The average debt balance was unchanged, while the average rate paid decreased 55 basis points.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

Many of our asset quality concerns from 2020 have moderated. No provision for loan and lease losses was necessary for the current quarter compared to a provision for loan and lease losses of $1.3 million in the same quarter a year ago. Nonaccrual loans decreased 43% since June 30, 2020 primarily due to repayment of two commercial real estate loans totaling $4.1 million. Net loan recoveries were $167 thousand during the current quarter compared to net loan charge-offs of $278 thousand during the same period a year ago. Most COVID-19 related loan payment deferrals have ended with limited negative impact on delinquencies. A more in depth discussion of our provision is provided below under the heading Provision for Loan and Lease Losses.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $176 thousand compared to the same period a year previous. The increase was primarily due to $138 thousand increase in ATM and point of sales fees and a $90 thousand increase in FHLB dividends partially offset by a $76 thousand decrease in gain on sale of investment securities.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $1.0 million compared to the same period a year previous, mostly resulting from $817 thousand of merger related costs.

The first quarter of 2021 included a $221 thousand legal settlement, which was partial recovery of an investment security impairment loss recorded during the second quarter of 2016. The decrease was partially offset by an $83 thousand increase in ATM and point of sale fees, $57 thousand gain on sale of investment securities and $33 thousand increase in FHLB dividends.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $382 thousand compared to the prior quarter. The increase included $817 thousand of merger related costs in the current quarter.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

We monitor credit quality and the general economic environment to ensure that the ALLL is maintained at a level that is adequate to cover estimated credit losses in the loan and lease portfolio. Our review of ALLL adequacy utilizes both quantitative and qualitative factors. The quantitative analysis relies on historical loss rates which, unfortunately, may not be indicative of future losses. In response to quantitative data deficiencies, we have placed greater reliance on qualitative factors (Q-Factors).

Many of our COVID-19 related credit concerns have moderated and no provision for loan and lease losses was required during the first or second quarter of 2021. Net loan loss recoveries were $167 thousand during the second quarter of 2021, $117 thousand during the first quarter of 2021 and most of our borrowers who received a COVID-19 related loan payment deferral have resumed making their payments. This compares with the second quarter of 2020 when concerns over COVID-19 necessitated a provision for loan and lease losses of $1.3 million.

Our ALLL methodology supported an ALLL of $17.2 million at June 30, 2021, an increase of 2% compared to our ALLL of $16.9 million at December 31, 2020 and an increase of 7% compared to our ALLL of $16.1 million at June 30, 2020. Management believes the Companys ALLL is adequate at June 30, 2021. There is, however, no assurance that future loan and lease losses will not exceed the levels provided for in the ALLL and could possibly result in future charges to the provision for loan and lease losses.

At June 30, 2021, the recorded investment in loans classified as impaired totaled $7.7 million, with a corresponding specific reserve of $159 thousand compared to impaired loans of $8.0 million, with a corresponding specific reserve of $188 thousand at March 31, 2021 and impaired loans of $11.1 million with a corresponding specific reserve of $270 thousand at June 30, 2020.

Management believes that the ratio excluding PPP loans is meaningfulwhen comparing to periods that do not include PPP loans, which are guaranteedby the SBA, and are expected to be forgiven and repaid by the SBA.

There were no new troubled debt restructurings during the three months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, 89 loans were classified as troubled debt restructurings, of which 88 were performing according to their restructured terms. Of the 89 troubled debt restructurings, 81 were ITIN loans totaling $4.6 million which are serviced by a third party.

Troubled Debt Restructuring Guidance

Financial institution regulators and the CARES Act have changed the treatment of short-term loan modifications for borrowers impacted by COVID-19. The change provides that modifications made in response to COVID-19, to borrowers under certain circumstances, should not be considered a troubled debt restructuring.

We have responded to the needs of our borrowers in accordance with the CARES Act and regulatory guidance to grant short-term COVID-19 related loan modifications. These modified loans are not troubled debt restructurings and are not considered to be past due or non-performing. We have granted payment deferrals ranging from one to six months determined on a case-by-case basis considering the nature of the business and the impact of COVID-19. For some borrowers who were initially granted a payment deferral of less than six months, we have granted an additional payment deferral period on a case-by-case basis.

We maintain close contact with our borrowers to update our understanding of the impact of the pandemic on them, their businesses and the underlying collateral for our loans. For borrowers who continue to have been granted a loan payment deferral, we have evaluated their credit quality position and the potential for loss of principal.

Most loan payment deferrals have ended and borrowers have resumed making payments. At June 30, 2021, payment deferrals were extant for 16 loans totaling $4.1 million compared to 26 loans totaling $4.1 million at March 31, 2021. Loans with a payment deferral at June 30, 2021 consisted of two SBA 504 commercial real estate loans totaling $3.2 million and 14 first trust deed residential mortgage loans totaling $827 thousand.

Past Due Loans

Past due loans as of June 30, 2021 decreased $3.3 million to $1.9 million, compared to $5.2 million as of June 30, 2020 and decreased $1.9 million compared to $3.8 million as of March 31, 2021. The decreases in past due loans was primarily due to collection of our largest nonaccrual borrowing relationship totaling $3.0 million that was repaid in the first quarter of 2021, a $1.1 million commercial real estate loan that was repaid in the current quarter and a $626 thousand nonaccrual commercial real estate loan that was brought current in the current quarter.
