Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
June 30, 2022
NOTE 1 – CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements of United Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Corporation”) have been prepared without audit and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly such information for the periods and dates indicated. Since the unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, they do not contain all information and footnotes typically included in consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 is derived from completed audited consolidated financial statements with footnotes, which are included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
On May 5, 2022, a new subsidiary of the Corporation was incorporated under the name UBC Risk Management, Inc ("UBC Risk"). UBC Risk is a subsidiary of the Corporation and is located in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is a captive insurance subsidiary which insures various liability and property damage policies for the Corporation and its related subsidiaries. UBC Risk is regulated by the State of Nevada Division of Insurance.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Union Bank Company (the “Bank”) and UBC Risk.
The Bank has formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, UBC Investments, Inc. (“UBC”), to hold and manage its securities portfolio. The operations of UBC are located in Wilmington, Delaware. The Bank has also formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, UBC Property, Inc. (“UBC Property”), to hold and manage certain property.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to generally accepted practices within the banking industry. The Corporation considers all of its principal activities to be banking related.
NOTE 2 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. Additionally, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. Management is in the process of implementing software and testing methodologies available for calculating the allowance for credit losses under the requirements of ASU 2016-13 and expects to run parallel to the Bank’s existing methodology for the September 30, 2022 ACL calculation. Management has not yet determined the expected impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on the consolidated financial statements. For public companies, this update was to be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. On July 17, 2019, the FASB voted to issue a proposal for public comment that would potentially result in a postponement of the required implementation date for ASU 2016-13. On October 16, 2019, the FASB extended the implementation deadline until the fiscal year and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this Update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Corporation does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which is in response to stakeholder concerns related to reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are elective and apply to all entities that have derivative instruments that use an interest rate for managing, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective immediately for all entities. The Corporation is currently reviewing the amendments in this Update, but does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Credit Quality Indicators:
The Corporation categorizes loans and leases into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Corporation analyzes loans and leases individually by classifying the loans and leases as to the credit risk. This analysis generally includes non-homogenous loans and leases, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans and leases. The Corporation uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
● | Pass: Loans and leases not meeting the previous criteria that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans and leases. |
● | Special Mention: Loans and leases which possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness which deserves close attention, but which do not yet warrant substandard classification. Such loans and leases pose unwarranted financial risk that, if not corrected, could weaken the loan or lease and increase risk in the future. The key distinctions of a Special Mention classification are that (1) it is indicative of an unwarranted level of risk, and (2) weaknesses are considered "potential", versus "defined", impairments to the primary source of loan repayment. |
● | Substandard: These loans and leases are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying ability of the borrower. Loans and leases of this type will generally display negative financial trends such as poor or negative net worth, earnings or cash flow. These loans and leases may also have historic and/or severe delinquency problems, and Corporation management may depend on secondary repayment sources to liquidate these loans and leases. The Corporation could sustain some degree of loss in these loans and leases if the weaknesses remain uncorrected. |
● | Doubtful: Loans and leases in this category display a high degree of loss, although the amount of actual loss at the time of classification is undeterminable. This should be a temporary category until such time that actual loss can be identified, or improvements made to reduce the seriousness of the classification. |
The following table provides a summary of the loan portfolio risk grades, as applicable, based on the most recent analysis performed, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Corporation risk rates all commercial and commercial real estate loans with the exception of PPP loans.

The Corporation considers the performance of the loan and lease portfolio and its impact on the allowance for loan and lease losses. For all loan classes that are not rated, the Corporation also evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan, which was previously presented, and by payment activity. Generally, all loans and leases not rated that are 90 days past due or are classified as nonaccrual and collectively evaluated for impairment, are considered nonperforming. The following table presents the recorded investment in all loans and leases that are not risk rated, based on payment activity as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Modifications:
The Corporation’s loan and lease portfolio also includes certain loans and leases that have been modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Corporation’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. All TDRs are also classified as impaired loans and leases.
When the Corporation modifies a loan or lease, management evaluates any possible concession based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan or lease agreement, except when the sole (remaining) source of repayment for the loan or lease is the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In these cases, management uses the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs, instead of discounted cash flows. If management determines that the value of the modified loan or lease is less than the recorded investment in the loan or lease (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), an impairment is recognized through a specific reserve in the allowance or a direct write down of the loan or lease balance if collection is not expected.
There were
The Corporation acquired The Ohio State Bank (“OSB”) in November 2014 and Benchmark Bank in September 2017. As a result of these acquisitions, the Corporation has loans and leases, for which there was at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it was probable at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected.
The following is information related to loans and leases acquired in these transactions, including purchased impaired loans:

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are independent, knowledgeable, and both able and willing to transact.
ASC 820-10 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach, and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability for which there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs reflect the Corporation’s own assumptions about what market participants would use to price the asset or liability. The inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include the Corporation’s own financial data such as internally developed pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the fair value determination requires significant management judgment.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, and disclosure of unobservable inputs follows.
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Corporation’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Corporation’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Corporation’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
Securities Available-for-Sale
Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would typically include government bonds and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include U.S. Government and agencies securities, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Impaired Loans
The Corporation does not record impaired loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, periodically, a loan is considered impaired and is reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated cost to sell, if repayment is expected solely from collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs, including recent appraisals or evaluations as well as Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria such as additional appraisal adjustments to consider deterioration of value subsequent to appraisal date and estimated cost to sell. Additional appraisal adjustments range between
Mortgage Servicing Rights
The Corporation records mortgage servicing rights at estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow model which includes discount rates between
Certain other financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment. Financial assets and financial liabilities, excluding impaired loans and other real estate owned, measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were not significant at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The above summary does not include accrued interest receivable or cash surrender value of life insurance, which are also considered financial instruments. The estimated fair value of such items is considered to be their carrying amounts.
There are also unrecognized financial instruments at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 which relate to commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. The contract amount of such financial instruments amounted to $
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments shown above:
Cash and cash equivalents:
Fair value is determined to be the carrying amount for these items (which include cash on hand, due from banks, and federal funds sold) because they represent cash or mature in 90 days or less, and do not represent unanticipated credit concerns.
Securities:
The fair value of securities is determined based on quoted market prices of the individual securities; if not available, estimated fair value is obtained by comparison to other known securities with similar risk and maturity characteristics. Such value does not consider possible tax ramifications or estimated transaction costs.
Loans held for sale:
The fair value of loans held for sale is determined based on the sales price of similar loans. Loan held for sale are typically held for 60 days or less.
Loans and leases:
Fair value for loans and leases was estimated for portfolios of loans and leases with similar financial characteristics. For adjustable rate loans, which re-price at least annually and generally possess low risk characteristics, the carrying amount is believed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. For fixed rate loans, the fair value is estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, considering weighted average rates and terms of the portfolio, adjusted for credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loans. Fair value for nonperforming loans is based on recent appraisals or estimated discounted cash flows. The fair value disclosures for both fixed and adjustable rate loans were adjusted to reflect the exit price amount anticipated to be received from the sale of the loans in an open market transaction.
Mortgage servicing rights:
The fair value for mortgage servicing rights is determined based on an analysis of the portfolio by an independent third party.
Derivative assets and liabilities:
The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities are evaluated monthly based on derivative valuation models using quoted prices for similar assets adjusted for specific attributes of the commitments and other observable market data at the valuation date.
Deposit liabilities:
The fair value of core deposits, including demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits, is the amount payable on demand. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates offered at quarter end for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The estimated fair value does not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the marketplace. The fair value disclosures for all of the deposits were adjusted to reflect the exit price amount anticipated to be received from sale of the deposits in an open market transaction.
Other borrowings and junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures:
The fair value of other borrowings and junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures are determined using the net present value of discounted cash flows based on current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, and are obtained from an independent third party.
Other financial instruments:
The fair value of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is determined to be the contract amount, since these financial instruments generally represent commitments at existing rates. The fair value of other borrowings is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using current interest rates. The fair value of other liabilities is generally considered to be carrying value except for the deferred compensation agreement. The fair value of the contract is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a current interest rate for a similar instrument.
The fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular financial instrument over the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Since no ready market exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are largely based on judgments after considering such factors as future expected credit losses, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.

NOTE 10 – NON-INTEREST INCOME
The Corporation’s revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of ASC 606 is recognized in non-interest income. The material groups of non-interest income are defined as follows:
Service charges on deposit accounts:
Service charges on deposit accounts primarily consist of account analysis fees, monthly maintenance fees, overdraft fees, and other deposit account related fees. Overdraft fees and certain service charges are fixed and the performance obligation is typically satisfied at the time of the related transaction. The consideration for analysis fees and monthly maintenance fees are variable as the fee can be reduced if the customer meets certain qualifying metrics. The Corporation’s performance obligations are satisfied at the time of the transaction or over the course of a month.
Interchange fee income:
The Corporation earns interchange fees from debit and credit cardholder transactions conducted through the MasterCard payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder.
Wealth management income:
The Corporation earns wealth management and investment brokerage fees from its services with customers to manage assets for investment, to provide advisory services, and for account transactions. Fees are based on the market value of the assets under management and are recognized monthly as the Corporation’s performance obligations are met. Commissions on transactions are recognized on a trade-date basis as the performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time in which the trade is processed. Other related services are based on a fixed fee schedule and the revenue is recognized when the services are rendered, which is when the Corporation has satisfied its performance obligation.
The following table presents the Corporation’s non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Items outside the scope of ASC 606 are noted as such.

Some of the financial measures included in this table are not measures of financial performance recognized by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include tangible book value, return on average tangible equity, net interest margin (tax-equivalent), and the efficiency ratio. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of its performance, and believes financial analysts and investors frequently use these measures, and other similar measures, to evaluate capital adequacy. Reconciliations of non-GAAP disclosures used in this table to the comparable GAAP measures are provided in the accompanying table. Management, as well as regulators, financial analysts and other investors may use these measures in conjunction with more traditional bank capital ratios to compare the capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant amounts of goodwill or other intangible assets, which typically stem from the use of the purchase accounting method of accounting for mergers and acquisitions.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total shareholders’ equity, total assets, book value per share, return on average assets, return on average equity, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. |

Forward-Looking Statements
When used in this document, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimated," "projected" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those contained or implied by such statements for a variety of factors, including: changes in economic conditions; movements in interest rates; competitive pressures on product pricing and services; success and timing of business strategies; the nature, extent, and timing of government actions and reforms; and extended disruption of vital infrastructure and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Significant progress has been made to combat the outbreak of COVID-19, and while it appears that the epidemiological and macroeconomic conditions are trending in a positive direction as of June 30, 2022, if there is a resurgence in the virus, United Bancshares, Inc. (the "Corporation") could experience further adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The Corporation cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Corporation does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation is presented to provide insight into management’s assessment of the financial results.
Economic Environment
Growth in the U.S. economy has slowed during the first half of 2022 as pressures from higher inflation and rising energy prices as well as concerns over the Russia-Ukraine war and the continued economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in U.S. Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") that shrank slightly in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the higher rates of growth experienced in 2021. Despite the FRB's efforts to control inflation by raising short-term interest rates, it remains elevated, reflecting supply and demand imbalances related to the pandemic and higher energy prices as well as other broader price pressures, and exceeded an annual rate of 9.0% in the first half of 2022, well above the FRB's target inflation rate. In addition, the Russia-Ukraine war and related events are likely to create additional upward pressure on inflation and weigh on economic activity. As previously discussed, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in disruption to business and economic activity. While the Omicron variant took COVID-19 infection rates to a new high in January 2022, COVID-19 cases declined by the end of the first quarter. However, the duration of the pandemic, including the emergence of new variants, and the ultimate repercussions continue to remain unclear. Despite the fact that GDP declined slightly in the first quarter of 2022, the total unemployment rate has remained low, and is 3.6 percent at June 2022 compared with 3.9 percent at December 2021. The FRB has increased short-term interest rates by 150 basis points year-to-date in 2022 and indicated that ongoing increases in short-term interest rates will continue in the latter half of 2022 in order to fight inflation.
The impacts of higher inflation, rising energy prices and the Russia-Ukraine war, in addition to the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic conditions both in the United States and abroad, have created significant uncertainty about the future economic environment which will continue to evolve and impact our business in future periods. Concerns over interest rate levels, energy prices, domestic, and global policy issues, trade policy in the U.S. and geopolitical events, as well as the implications of those events on the markets in general, further add to the global uncertainty. Interest rate levels and energy prices, in combination with global economic conditions, fiscal and monetary policy and the level of regulatory and government scrutiny of financial institutions will continue to impact our results in 2022 and beyond.
Our credit administration continues to closely monitor and analyze the higher risk segments within the loan portfolio, tracking loan payment deferrals, customer liquidity and providing timely reports to senior management and the board of directors. Based on the Corporation's capital levels, prudent underwriting policies, loan concentration diversification and our geographic footprint, we are cautiously optimistic that the Corporation is positioned to continue managing the impact of the varied set of risks and uncertainties currently impacting our customer base and local economies, while remaining adequately capitalized. However, the Corporation may be required to make additional loan loss provisions as warranted by the extremely fluid global economic condition.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Corporation reported net income of $2,170,000, or $0.66 basic earnings per share, a decrease of $485,000 (18.3%) compared to the second quarter of 2021 net income of $2,655,000, or $0.81 basic earnings per share. The decrease in operating results for the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily attributable to a decrease in non-interest income of $1,551,000 (41.1%), offset by an increase in net interest income of $246,000 (2.9%), a decrease in non-interest expenses of $510,000 (5.6%), and a decrease in the provision for income taxes of $310,000 (64.1%).
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $4,690,000, or $1.43 basic earnings per share, compared to $6,772,000, or $2.07 basic earnings per share for the same period in 2021, a decrease of $2,083,000 (30.7%). The decrease in operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to a decrease in net interest income of $207,000 (1.2%) and a decrease in non-interest income of $4,211,000 (44.2%), offset by a decrease in non-interest expenses of $1,216,000 (6.7%), a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $300,000, and a decrease in the provision for income taxes of $819,000 (30.7%).
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the amount by which income from interest-earning assets exceeds interest incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning assets consist principally of loans and investment securities while interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing deposit accounts and borrowed funds. Net interest income remains the primary source of revenue for the Corporation. Changes in market interest rates, as well as changes in the mix and volume of interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income. Net interest income was $8,682,000 for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $8,435,000 for the same period of 2021, an increase of $247,000. Net interest income was $16,884,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $17,090,000 for the same period of 2021, a decrease of $206,000 (1.2%).
The increase of $247,000 in net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 is attributable to an increase in interest income of $5,000 (0.05%) and a $242,000 (29.8%) decrease in interest expense. The decrease of $206,000 in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was due to a decrease in interest income of $720,000 (3.8%), offset by a decrease of interest expense of $514,000 (31.2%).
The $5,000 increase in interest income for the three months ended June, 2022 was due to a $547,000 increase in securities income due to increased volumes in the investment portfolio, as well as a $130,000 increase in other interest income, offset by a $674,000 decrease in loan interest income. The decrease in loan interest income was due to a $771,000 reduction in the loan fee income generated through PPP loans. Interest income decreased $720,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Loan interest income decreased $1,944,000, due primarily to a reduction in PPP loan fees of $1,483,000, offset by increases of interest from the investment portfolio of $1,096,000 due to increased volumes, and $128,000 in other interest income. Approximately 99% of the loan balances generated through the PPP loan program have been forgiven as of June 30, 2022. There are $23,000 of fees received from the SBA remaining that have been deferred and are being amortized into interest income over the life of the loans.
The yield on average earning assets was 3.75% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 4.04% for the same period of 2021. This is due to the decrease in PPP and mortgage origination fees and a shifting mix of earning assets. The average interest-bearing cash, securities, and loan balances were $56.4 million, $303.4 million and $625.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively compared to $87.7 million, $208.1 million and $650.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The average loan balance decreased $25.4 million between the periods. The average balance of PPP loans decreased approximately $76.0 million between the periods and was offset by approximately $56.2 million in new commercial and commercial real estate loan growth.
Interest expense declined $242,000 and $514,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. This is due to a declining cost of funds, primarily in certificates of deposit. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities was 0.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 0.46% for the same period of 2021. This decrease more than offset the $48.6 million increase in average interest bearing liabilities to $763.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $714.5 million the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income (adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on a taxable equivalent basis) by average interest-earning assets. The resulting percentage serves as a measurement for the Corporation in comparing its results with those of past periods as well as those of peer institutions. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 the net interest margin (on a taxable equivalent basis) was 3.63% and 3.52% compared with 3.53% and 3.69% for the same periods in 2021. Loans and leases comprised 62.4% of interest-earning assets at June 30, 2022 compared to 64.2% of interest-earning assets at June 30, 2021. Interest-bearing deposits comprised 97.5% of interest-bearing liabilities at June 30, 2022, compared to 97.2% for the same period in 2021.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Corporation’s provision for loan losses is determined based upon management’s calculation of the allowance for loan losses and is reflective of management’s assessment of the quality of the portfolio and overall management of the inherent credit risk of the loan portfolio. Changes in the provision for loan losses are dependent, among other things, on loan delinquencies, collateral position, portfolio risks and general economic conditions in the Corporation’s lending markets. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, management considers the size and quality of the loan portfolio measured against prevailing economic conditions, regulatory guidelines, and historical loan loss experience. However, there is no assurance that loan credit losses will not exceed the allowance, and any growth in the loan portfolio and the uncertainty of the general economy may require additional provisions in future periods.
Due to a general stabilization of uncertainties related to COVID-19 in the regional and broader U.S. economy, as well as the current status of the Bank's loan portfolio, there was no provision for loan losses recognized during the six month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to a $300,000 provision for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2022 is 1.66% of total loans compared to 1.69% of total loans at June 30, 2021.
There is a possibility that the provision for loan losses could further increase in future periods based on the significant potential for the credit quality of our loan portfolio to decline and loan defaults to increase as a result of economic conditions. See “Allowance for Loan Losses” under Financial Condition for further discussion relating to the provision for loan and lease losses.
Non-Interest Income
The Corporation’s non-interest income is largely generated from activities related to the origination, servicing and gain on sales of fixed rate mortgage loans; customer deposit account fees; earnings on life insurance policies; income arising from sales of investment products to customers; and occasional security sale transactions. Income related to customer deposit accounts and life insurance policies provides a relatively steady flow of income while the other sources are more volume or transaction related and consequently can vary from quarter to quarter.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, non-interest income was $2,226,000, compared to $3,777,000 for the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of $1,551,000. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in gain on sales of loans of $2,777,000 (96.3%), offset by an increase in other non-interest income of $1,259,000 (141.1%).
Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $5,307,000, compared to $9,518,000 for the same period in 2021, a decrease of $4,211,000. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily attributable to decreases in gain on sales of loans of $6,775,000 (90.8%), offset by an increase in other non-interest income of $2,638,000 (128.0%).
The significant decrease in gain on sale of loans was attributable to a decrease in loan activity by the residential mortgage operations, along with a decrease in the net gain on sale, expressed as a percentage of loan balances sold. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, there were 191 loans sold totaling $51.8 million, compared to 310 loans sold totaling $78.9 million during the same period of 2021. The net gain (loss) on sale was (0.08%) for the second quarter of 2022 compared to 3.50% for the same period of 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were 383 loans sold totaling $107.1 million at a net gain on sale of 0.41% compared to the same period of 2021 when there were 770 loans sold totaling $196.5 million at a net gain on sale of 3.50%.
The increases in other non-interest income of $1,259,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and $2,638,000 year-to-date are both primarily due to increases in income from the Corporation’s loan hedging program.
Non-Interest Expenses
For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, non-interest expenses were $8,564,000, compared to $9,073,000 for the comparable quarter of 2021, a $509,000 (5.6%) decrease. The significant quarter-over-quarter decreases include salaries and benefits of $404,000 (8.0%), a result of lower mortgage loan commissions, advertising and promotional expense of $181,000 (31.0%), and loan origination expenses of $109,000 (27.9%), offset by increases in equipment service expense of $70,000 (28.2%), miscellaneous expense of $49,000, and asset management expense of $48,000.
Non-interest expenses were $16,963,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $18,179,000 for the same period in 2021, a decrease of $1,216,000. The decrease in non-interest expenses was primarily attributable to decreases in salaries and benefits of $876,000 (8.5%), a result of lower mortgage loan commissions, advertising and promotional expense of $175,000 (16.1%), loan origination expenses of $373,000 (43.9%), offset by increases in equipment service expense of $73,000 (13.6%), ATM processing expense of $49,000 (12.0%), and asset management expense of $43,000.
Maintaining acceptable levels of non-interest expenses and operating efficiency are key performance indicators for the Corporation in its strategic initiatives. The financial services industry uses the efficiency ratio (total non-interest expense as a percentage of the aggregate of fully-tax equivalent net interest income and non-interest income) as a key indicator of performance. For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Corporation’s efficiency ratio was 76.77%, compared to 73.19% for the same period of 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 the Corporation's efficiency ratio was 74.83% compared to 67.42% for the same period of 2021. A lower efficiency ratio generally indicates that a bank is spending less to generate every dollar of income. The increase in the efficiency ratio between the quarter and year-to-date periods is due to the significant reduction in residential mortgage activity, which has reduced non-interest income at a faster pace than non-interest expenses.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $174,000 (effective rate of 7.4%), compared to $484,000 (effective rate of 15.4%) for the comparable 2021 period. The provision for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 was $538,000 (effective rate of 10.3%) compared to $1,357,000 (effective rate of 16.7%) for the comparable 2021 period. The decrease in the effective tax rate is largely due to tax-exempt securities comprising 33.8% of pre-tax income year-to-date June 30, 2022 compared to 15.8% for the comparable period in 2021.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Overview of Balance Sheet
Total assets amounted to $1.11 billion at June 30, 2022 compared to $1.08 billion at December 31, 2021, an increase of $34.1 million (3.2%). The increase in total assets was primarily the result of increases of $28.7 million (38.2%) in cash and cash equivalents, and $16.0 million (2.7%) in net loans, offset by a $21.0 million (6.8%) decrease in securities available for sale. Deposits totaled $998.2 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $930.4 million at December 31, 2021, an increase of $67.8 million (7.3%).
Shareholders’ equity decreased $32.0 million (26.9%) from $119.1 million at December 31, 2021 to $87.1 million at June 30, 2022. This was the result of an increase in unrealized losses on available for sale securities, net of tax of $35.4 million and dividends paid of $1,377,000 offset by net income of $4,690,000. The increase in unrealized losses on available for sale securities from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 was attributable to increasing long-term treasury yields. Net unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $103.9 million at June 30, 2022 and $75.2 million at December 31, 2021, including interest-bearing deposits in other banks of $84.9 million at June 30, 2022 and $63.5 million at December 31, 2021. Management believes the current level of cash and cash equivalents is sufficient to meet the Corporation’s present liquidity and performance needs especially considering the availability of other funding sources, as described below. Total cash and cash equivalents fluctuate on a daily basis due to transactions in process and corresponding liquidity sources and uses. Management believes the Corporation’s liquidity needs in the near term will be satisfied by the current level of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional and non-traditional funding sources, and the portions of the investment and loan portfolios that will mature within one year. These sources of funds should enable the Corporation to meet cash obligations and off-balance sheet commitments as they come due. In addition, the Corporation has access to various sources of additional borrowings by virtue of long-term assets that can be used as collateral for such borrowings.
Securities
Management monitors the earnings performance and liquidity of the securities portfolio on a regular basis through Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) meetings. As a result, all securities, except FHLB stock, have been designated as available-for-sale and may be sold if needed for liquidity, asset-liability management or other reasons. Such securities are reported at fair value, with any net unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of related incomes taxes.
The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2022 totaled $326.4 million and $286.7 million, respectively, resulting in net unrealized loss before tax of $39.7 million and a corresponding after-tax decrease in shareholders’ equity of$31.4 million.
While the unrealized loss negatively impacts tangible book value, and is being monitored closely, the Corporation has significant sources of liquidity, mitigating the risk of having to sell available-for-sale securities and recognizing a loss.
Loans and Leases
The Corporation’s primary lending areas are Northwestern, West Central, and Central Ohio. Gross loans and leases totaled $625.6 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $609.6 million at December 31, 2021, an increase of $16.0 million (2.7%). As compared to December 31, 2021, commercial and multi-family real estate loans increased $25.7 million, residential 1-4 family real estate loans increased $5.8 million, commercial loans decreased $15.3 million, and consumer loans decreased $165,000. Loans originated through the PPP program are included in the Commercial segment and had an outstanding balance of $1.9 million as of June 30, 2022 and $6.6 million at December 31, 2021. Excluding the impact of PPP loans forgiven, loans and leases increased $20.7 million at June 30, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021.
There are also unrecognized financial instruments at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 which relate to commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. The contract amount of such financial instruments approximated $221.1 million at June 30, 2022 and $198.7 million at December 31, 2021.
Loan demand remained steady through the first half of 2022, however it is possible that uncertainties in economic conditions in our market areas may lead to reductions in the growth of our commercial and industrial loan, commercial real estate loan, residential real estate loan and consumer loan portfolios. The Corporation continues to source relationship-based clients in markets and geographies that we are familiar with and understand.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of gross loans and leases was 1.66% at June 30, 2022, 1.70% at December 31, 2021, and 1.69% at June 30, 2021. Excluding PPP loans and the related allocation of allowance, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans and leases was 1.67% at June 30, 2022, 1.72% at December 31, 2021, and 1.88% at June 30, 2021. Based on current economic indicators, the Corporation increased the economic factors within the allowance for loan losses evaluation.
Regular provisions are made in amounts sufficient to maintain the balance in the allowance for loan and lease losses at a level considered by management to be adequate for losses within the portfolio. Even though management uses all available information to assess possible loan and lease losses, future additions or reductions to the allowance may be required as changes occur in economic conditions and specific borrower circumstances. The regulatory agencies that periodically review the Corporation’s allowance for loan and lease losses may also require additions to the allowance or the charge-off of specific loans and leases based upon the information available to them at the time of their examinations.
Loans and leases on non-accrual status amounted to $993,000 at June 30, 2022 and $320,000 at December 31, 2021. Non-accrual loans and leases as a percentage of outstanding loans amounted to 0.16% at June 30, 2022 and 0.05% at December 31, 2021.
There were $1,072,000 in commercial loan over 90 days but still accruing at June 30, 2022. These loans were originated through the PPP program and are pending a determination of forgiveness from the SBA.
The Corporation considers a loan or lease to be impaired when it becomes probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect under the contractual terms of the loan or lease, as the case may be, based on current information and events. The Corporation had impaired loans totaling $1,119,000 at June 30, 2022 and $1,948,000 at December 31, 2021
In addition to impaired loans the Corporation had other potential problem credits, consisting of loans graded substandard or special mention, as well as loans over 90 days past due, loans on non-accrual, and TDR loans, amounting to $15.8 million at June 30, 2022 and $24.7 million at December 31, 2021. The Corporation’s credit administration department continues to closely monitor these credits.
The Corporation provides pooled reserves for potential problem loans and leases using loss rates calculated considering historic net loan charge-off experience, as well as other environmental and qualitative factors. The Corporation experienced no loan charge-offs during the first six months of 2022 compared to $5,000 during the first six months of 2021. The Corporation also provides pooled general reserves for the remaining portion of its loan portfolio not considered to be problem or potential problem loans. These general reserves are also calculated considering, among other things, the historic net charge-off experience for the related loan type.
Funding Sources
The Corporation considers a number of alternatives, including but not limited to, deposits, as well as short-term and long-term borrowings when evaluating funding sources. Deposits, including customer deposits, brokered certificates of deposit, and public funds deposits continue to be the most significant source of funds for the Corporation, totaling $998.2 million, or 97.5% of the Corporation’s outstanding funding sources at June 30, 2022, compared to $930.4 million at December 31, 2021.
Non-interest bearing deposits comprised 24.2% of total deposits at June 30, 2022 and 21.0% at December 31, 2021.
In addition to traditional deposits, the Corporation maintains both short-term and long-term borrowing arrangements. Other borrowings consisted of $6,500,000 and $7,012,000 of a term borrowing from the United Bankers’ Bank (UBB) at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Corporation also has outstanding junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures of $12,993,000 and $12,976,000 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Management plans to maintain access to various borrowing alternatives as an appropriate funding source.
Regulatory Capital
The Corporation and Bank met all regulatory capital requirements as of June 30, 2022, and the Bank is considered “well capitalized” under regulatory and industry standards of risk-based capital.
Cash Flow from Operations
As part of the Bank's hedging program, loans held for sale are accumulated into larger blocks before being sold. Depending on the timing of the sales of these blocks, there could be a positive or negative impact to net income and cash flow from operations. As of June 30, 2022, loans held for sale amounted to $7,203,000 compared to $9,146,000 as of December 31, 2021 resulting in a positive impact to cash flow from operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 of $1,943,000. There was a positive impact on cash flow from operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 of $403,000 from a decrease in loans held for sale. Excluding these changes in loans held for sale, cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 would have been a positive $8,010,000 and $7,981,000, respectively.
Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
The objective of the Corporation’s asset/liability management function is to maintain consistent growth in net interest income through management of the Corporation’s balance sheet liquidity and interest rate exposure based on changes in economic conditions, interest rate levels, and customer preferences.
The Corporation manages interest rate risk to minimize the impact of fluctuating interest rates on earnings. The Corporation uses simulation techniques that attempt to measure the volatility of changes in the level of interest rates, basic banking interest rate spreads, the shape of the yield curve, and the impact of changing product growth patterns. The primary method of measuring the sensitivity of earnings of changing market interest rates is to simulate expected cash flows using varying assumed interest rates while also adjusting the timing and magnitude of non-contractual deposit re-pricing to more accurately reflect anticipated pricing behavior. These simulations include adjustments for the lag in prime loan re-pricing and the spread and volume elasticity of interest-bearing deposit accounts, regular savings and money market deposit accounts.
The principal function of interest rate risk management is to maintain an appropriate relationship between those assets and liabilities that are sensitive to changing market interest rates. The Corporation closely monitors the sensitivity of its assets and liabilities on an ongoing basis and projects the effect of various interest rate changes on its net interest margin. Interest sensitive assets and liabilities are defined as those assets or liabilities that mature or re-price within a designated time frame.
Management believes the Corporation’s current mix of assets and liabilities provides a reasonable level of risk related to significant fluctuations in net interest income and the resulting volatility of the Corporation’s earning base. The Corporation’s management reviews interest rate risk in relation to its effect on net interest income, net interest margin, and the volatility of the earnings base of the Corporation.
Effects of Inflation on Financial Statements
All of the Corporation’s assets relate to commercial banking operations and are generally monetary in nature. Therefore, they are not impacted by inflation to the same degree as companies in capital-intensive industries in a replacement cost environment. During a period of rising prices, a net monetary asset position results in loss of purchasing power and conversely a net monetary liability position results in an increase in purchasing power. In the commercial banking industry, monetary assets typically exceed monetary liabilities. The Corporation has not experienced a significant level of inflation or deflation during the six month period ended June 30, 2022. Management continues to closely monitor interest rate sensitivity trends through the Corporation's asset liability management program and in calculating the allowance for loan and lease losses.
