Interest income totaled $28.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and decreased $1.1 million, or 3.7%, compared to $29.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributed to a 20bps decrease in the average yield on loans and leases, coupled with a $9.9 million, or 0.6% decrease in average loans and leases. As previously stated, during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we placed a $5.0 million loan on nonaccrual status, which resulted in a $528,000 decline in interest income during the quarter and a corresponding 11bps decline in net interest margin and the average yield on loans.

Current report

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 totaled $8.3 million and increased $357,000, or 4.5%, compared to $8.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to a $292,000 increase in advertising and marketing expense.

The increase was primarily due to a $2.0 million, or 10.6%, decrease in interest expense, coupled with a $373,000, or 1.2%, increase in interest income. The decrease in interest expense was attributed to a 58bps decrease in the average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a $30.8 million, or 2.0%, increase in average interest-bearing liabilities.

Loans that contain interest only payments may present a higher risk than those loans with an amortizing payment that includes periodic principal reductions.

The decrease in interest expense was attributed to a 45bps decrease in the average cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we placed a $5.0 million loan on nonaccrual status, which resulted in a $528,000 decline in interest income during the quarter and a corresponding 11bps decline in net interest margin and the average yield on loans.

Our deferred tax assets are composed of U.S. net operating losses (“NOLs”), and other temporary book to tax differences. When determining the amount of deferred tax assets that are more-likely-than-not to be realized, and therefore recorded as a benefit, the Company conducts a regular assessment of all available information. This information includes, but is not limited to, taxable income in prior periods, projected future income and projected future reversals of deferred tax items.
