Net loan balances decreased by $23.4 million, to $345.2 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $368.6 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease in loans was primarily due to forgiveness of payroll protection plan loans (PPP).

The Bank participated in the second around of PPP loans providing an additional $9.0 million in PPP loans that was reflected in the loan balance at June 30, 2021.

Commenting on the second quarter results, Harold Keen, President and CEO of the Company and the Bank, stated, “Second quarter balance sheet growth continued with the increase in low cost demand demand deposits and profit increases were fueled by loan interest from Payroll Protection Loans (PPP). Loan growth excluding PPP was somewhat flat during the second quarter, but a strong pipeline of loans fueled by late spring economic activity is encouraging for current and future periods. We are extremely please that our Board of Directors approved a thirty-three (33) percent increase in dividends payable for the second quarter. This highlights the positive results for the first six months of 2021.”
