Restricted investments in bank stock consist of FHLBank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”) stock and Atlantic Community Bankers Bank (“ACBB”) stock. The restricted stocks are carried at cost. Federal law requires a member institution of the FHLB to hold stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. The Bank had FHLB stock at a carrying value of $
Management evaluates the FHLB and ACBB restricted stock for impairment. Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of their cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the issuer as compared to the capital stock amount for the issuer and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the issuer to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the issuer, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the issuer.
Based upon its evaluation of the foregoing criteria, management believes no impairment charge is necessary related to the FHLB or ACBB stock as of March 31, 2022.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
The Company may grant a concession or modification for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial condition that it would not otherwise consider, resulting in a modified loan which is then identified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). The Company may modify loans through rate reductions, extensions to maturity, interest only payments, or payment modifications to better coincide the timing of payments due under the modified terms with the expected timing of cash flows from the borrowers’ operations. Loan modifications are intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. TDRs are considered impaired loans for purposes of calculating the Company’s allowance for loan losses.
The Company identifies loans for potential restructure primarily through direct communication with the borrower and the evaluation of the borrower’s financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports. Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in a payment default in the near future.

Stock Incentive Plan:
The Company maintains the Embassy Bancorp, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “SIP”), originally adopted by the Company’s shareholders effective June 16, 2010 and subsequently amended, restated, and approved on June 20, 2019. The SIP authorizes the Board of Directors, or a committee authorized by the Board of Directors, to award a stock based incentive to (i) designated officers (including officers who are directors) and other designated employees at the Company and its subsidiaries, and (ii) non-employee members of the Board of Directors and advisors and consultants to the Company and its subsidiaries. The SIP provides for stock based incentives in the form of incentive stock options as provided in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and deferred stock awards. The term of the option, the amount of time for the option to vest after grant, if any, and other terms and limitations will be determined at the time of grant. Options granted under the SIP may not have an exercise period that is more than

US GAAP requires that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. Management believes that the unrealized losses on securities available for sale are a result of current market conditions, primarily changes in the interest rate environment.

Note 10 – Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, as adjusted for stock dividends and splits. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustments to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method.

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
Fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there

has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.
US GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).
An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy utilized at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, are as follows:

The fair value of securities available for sale are determined by matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Impaired loans are those that are accounted for under existing FASB guidance, in which the Bank has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. Fair values may also include qualitative adjustments by management based on economic conditions and liquidation expenses. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

OVERVIEW
The Company is a Pennsylvania corporation organized in 2008 and registered as a bank holding company pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”). The Company was formed for purposes of acquiring Embassy Bank For The Lehigh Valley (the “Bank”) in connection with the reorganization of the Bank into a bank holding company structure, which was consummated on November 11, 2008. Accordingly, the Company owns all of the capital stock of the Bank, giving the organization more flexibility in meeting its capital needs as the Company continues to grow. Embassy Holdings, LLC (the “LLC”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank organized to engage in the holding of property acquired by the Bank in satisfaction of debts previously contracted. As such, the consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and the LLC.
The Bank, which is the Company’s primary operating subsidiary, was originally incorporated as a Pennsylvania bank on May 11, 2001 and opened its doors on November 6, 2001. It was formed by a group of local business persons and professionals with significant prior experience in community banking in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania, the Bank’s primary market area, for the purpose of providing a local community bank to serve Lehigh and Northampton Counties in Pennsylvania.
Since its inception, the Board’s philosophy has been and continues to be that, by running the Bank with a view toward the long term, only good things will happen for the Bank’s customers, team members, shareholders and the Lehigh Valley community.
At March 31, 2022, the Company continued to be in a strong financial and operational condition. The Bank’s March 31, 2022 capital ratios exceeded the amounts required to be considered “well capitalized” as defined in applicable banking regulations. The Company’s ratio of non-performing loans to total loans at March 31, 2022 was 0.23% and the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.15%. The Company had its last Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) examination in 2022 and received a “satisfactory” rating.
The Company’s assets increased $7.3 million from $1.63 billion at December 31, 2021 to $1.64 billion at March 31, 2022. The increase was due to an increase of $31.9 million in securities available for sale and an increase of $5.9 million in other assets; offset by a decrease of $19.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $3.8 million in net loans receivable (excluding PPP loans), and a decrease of $6.4 million in net PPP loans receivable due to net loan forgiveness. The growth in securities available for sale was primarily funded by deposits. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to FHLB long term borrowings of $14.7 million maturing and being paid off during the first quarter of 2022, purchases of available for sale securities, offset, in part, by the forgiveness of PPP loans, net loan payoffs (excluding PPP), and an increase in deposits. The Companys deposits grew $39.6 million from $1.47 billion at December 31, 2021 to $1.51 billion at March 31, 2022. The overall deposit growth was due to a highly effective relationship building, sales and marketing effort, which served to further increase the Company’s overall presence in the market it serves, along with deposit relationships developed as a result of cross-marketing efforts to its loan and other non-depository banking service customers. Also contributing to the growth is the increased usage of the Company’s online banking platform, competitively offered rates, and the continued convenience and efficiency of our branch network and branch personnel. The Company also continues to capitalize on opportunities created by recent merger announcements, name changes, and competitive branch hour adjustments and/or closures in the Company’s market area, attracting customers looking to relocate to a local, reputable community bank.
Net loans receivable (excluding PPP loans) decreased by $3.8 million to $1.09 billion at March 31, 2022 from $1.10 billion at December 31, 2021, due in part to several larger non-PPP loan payoffs during the quarter. The market continues to be very competitive and the Company is committed to maintaining a high-quality portfolio that returns a reasonable market rate. While the past and current economic and competitive conditions in the marketplace have created more competition for loans to credit-worthy customers, the Company continues to expand its market presence, its pipeline, and continues to focus on developing a reputation as being a market leader in both commercial and consumer/mortgage lending. Management believes that this combination of relationship building, cross marketing and responsible underwriting will translate into continued long-term growth of a portfolio of quality loans and core deposit relationships, although there can be no assurance of this. The Company continues to monitor interest rate exposure of its interest-bearing assets and liabilities and believes that it is well positioned for any anticipated future market rate adjustments. See expanded discussion under the Financial Conditions: Loans section below.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $4.2 million compared to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of $4.0 million, an increase of $157 thousand, or 3.9%. Basic and diluted earnings per share increased to $0.56 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $0.54 and $0.53, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The difference in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 resulted from an increase in non-interest income and decreases in the provision for loan losses and income tax expense; offset by an increase in non-interest expenses. The Company’s pre-tax net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included $1.1 million of PPP loan interest and fees.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
Generally, changes in net interest income are measured by net interest rate spread and net interest margin. Interest rate spread is the mathematical difference between the average interest earned on earning assets and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities. Interest margin represents the net interest yield on earning assets. The interest margin gives a reader a better indication of asset earning results when compared to peer groups or industry standards.
The Company determines interest rate spread and margin on both a US GAAP and tax equivalent basis. The use of tax equivalent basis in determining interest rate spread and margin is considered a non-US GAAP measure. The Company believes use of this measure provides meaningful information to the reader of the consolidated financial statements when comparing taxable and non-taxable assets. However, it is supplemental to US GAAP which is used to prepare the Company’s consolidated financial statements and should not be read in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for US GAAP measures. In addition, the non-US GAAP measure may not be comparable to non-US GAAP measures reported by other companies. The tax rate used to calculate the tax equivalent adjustments was 21% for 2022 and 2021.
Total interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased $200 thousand to $11.6 million, as compared to $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Average earning assets were $1.59 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $1.38 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The tax equivalent yield on average earning assets was 2.98% for the first quarter of 2022 compared to 3.48% for the first quarter of 2021.
Total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased $241 thousand to $896 thousand, as compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Average interest bearing liabilities were $1.17 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $1.02 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The yield on average interest bearing liabilities was 0.31% and 0.45% for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Net interest income remained relatively flat at $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021. The slight improvement in net interest income is, in part, the result of an increase in the balances of taxable loans, an increase in taxable and non-taxable investments due to purchases of $70.6 million, an increase in interest bearing deposits with banks, along with an increase in the rate of taxable investments and interest bearing deposit with banks. Also contributing to the improvement in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was a decrease in the balance and rates of certificates of deposit, a decrease in interest expense on long term FHLB borrowings due to being paid off in the first quarter of 2022, and no interest expense from PPPLF borrowings due to being paid off in the first quarter of 2021. The improvements were offset, in part, by a decrease in the interest and fee income from PPP loans, a decrease in the rates of taxable loans and non-taxable investments, and an increase in the balance of interest bearing demand deposits, NOW, money market and savings. The Company’s net interest margin is 2.73% on a US GAAP basis and 2.76% on a tax equivalent (non-US GAAP) basis for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to 3.13% on a US GAAP basis and 3.15% on a tax equivalent (non-US GAAP) basis for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The Company’s net interest margin was also affected by the balance of PPP loans, which bear interest at a rate of 1.0%, and PPPLF borrowings, which bore an interest rate of 0.35% and were paid off in early February 2021. The net interest margin on a tax equivalent (non-US GAAP) basis excluding PPP loans and PPP interest income and PPPLF borrowings interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 2.72%, compared to 2.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Provision for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management considers to be adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change.
The allowance consists of general, specific, qualitative and unallocated components. The general component covers non-classified loans and classified loans not considered impaired, and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired and/or restructured. For loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s
estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and/or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and home equity loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement or there is a possible loss expected.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, there was no provision for loan losses, as compared to $465 thousand for the same period ended March 31, 2021. In the three months ended March 31, 2022 there were no charge-offs and $1 thousand in recoveries, as compared to $2 thousand in charge-offs and $1 thousand in recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The provision for loan losses is a function of the allowance for loan loss methodology that the Company uses to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for inherent loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted. During 2021 and through the three months ending March 31, 2022, the Company increased the economic risk factor, loan modifications risk factor, and other external factor methodologies to incorporate the current economic implications, including concerns over inflation, supply chain and geopolitical events in the Ukraine, unemployment rates, and the amount of loan modifications due to the COVID-19 pandemic. See the discussion below under “Credit Risk and Loan Quality” regarding the Company’s considerations of its March 31, 2022 allowance for loan loss levels. The allowance for loan losses is $11.5 million as of March 31, 2022, which is 1.04% of total loans receivable and 1.04% of loans receivable excluding PPP loans, compared to $11.0 million or 0.96% of total loans receivable and 1.00% of loans receivable excluding PPP loans as of March 31, 2021. At December 31, 2021, the allowance for loan losses was $11.5 million, which represented 1.03% of total loans receivable and 1.04% of loans receivable excluding PPP loans. Based principally on economic conditions, asset quality, and loan-loss experience, including that of comparable institutions in the Company’s market area, the allowance is believed to be adequate to absorb any losses inherent in the portfolio. Because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate, or that material increases will not be necessary should the quality of the loans deteriorate. The Company has not participated in any sub-prime lending activity.
The activity in the allowance for loan losses is shown in the following table, as well as period end loans receivable and the allowance for loan losses as a percent of the total loans receivable (excluding PPP loans) portfolio:

Non-interest Income
Total non-interest income was $770 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $532 thousand for the same period in 2021. The increase is, in part, attributable to an increase in bank owned life insurance income of $221 thousand primarily due to death benefit proceeds, offset by a decrease in separate account life insurance assets driven by the effect market conditions had on underlying life insurance assets. Additional increases in non-interest income are attributable to an increase in merchant and credit card processing fees of $17 thousand, an increase in debit card interchange fees of $18 thousand, and an increase of $6 thousand in other service fees, in part, due to an expanding customer base. The increase was offset by a gain on the sale of securities of $24 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expenses increased $631 thousand from $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company had a 6.3% increase in full-time equivalent employees from ninety-six (96) at March 31, 2021 to one hundred and two (102) at March 31, 2022, respectively. New hires included a commercial lender and various branch and other operational personnel. The increase in the number of employees, together with the annual increases in salaries and benefits, increase in employee taxes, increase in health insurance cost, increase in stock grant expense, and a decrease in deferred compensation costs primarily associated with PPP loan originations in the first quarter of 2021, resulted in an increase in overall salary and benefits. Additional increases in non-interest expenses are attributable to an increase of $42 thousand in occupancy and equipment due in part to the opening of the Company’s new branch office at 2002 West Liberty Street in Allentown, Pennsylvania, along with an increase in equipment expenditures, an increase of $174 thousand in data processing due primarily to e-commerce, the expanding customer base, and fees for the Company’s upcoming transition to a new online banking platform, an increase of $31 thousand in charitable contributions primarily due to a Neighborhood Assistance Program contribution made in the first quarter of 2022, and a $47 thousand increase in other expenses due, in part, to an increase in debit card production, bank shares tax, director compensation, customer entertainment, and fraud losses. These increases in non-interest expenses were offset, in part, by a decrease of $40 thousand in advertising and promotions.
A breakdown of other expenses can be found in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $946 thousand, or 18.4% of income before taxes, compared to income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 totaling $990 thousand, or 19.7% of income before taxes. The decrease in the tax rate is, in part, the result of change in the mix of taxable and tax free investments and the increase in income on bank owned life insurance.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Securities
The Company’s securities portfolio continues to be classified, in its entirety, as “available for sale.” Management believes that a portfolio classification of available for sale allows complete flexibility in the investment portfolio. Using this classification, the Company intends to hold these securities for an indefinite amount of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Such securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The portfolio is structured to provide maximum return on investments while providing a consistent source of liquidity and meeting strict risk standards. Investment securities consist primarily of mortgage-backed securities issued by FHLMC or FNMA, taxable and non-taxable municipal bonds, and government agency bonds. The Company holds no high-risk or direct internationally exposed securities or derivatives as of March 31, 2022. The Company has not made any investments in non-U.S. government agency mortgage backed securities or sub-prime loans.
Total securities at March 31, 2022 were $342.1 million compared to $310.3 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in the investment portfolio resulted from the purchase of twelve (12) mortgage-backed securities, two (2) government agency bonds, eighteen (18) tax-free municipal bonds, and six (6) taxable municipal bonds totaling $70.6 million; offset by principal pay downs on mortgage-backed securities and the calls of six (6) non-taxable municipal bonds totaling $8.4 million, and an increase in unrealized losses of $30.4 million. The carrying value of the securities portfolio as of March 31, 2022 includes a net unrealized loss of $32.0 million, which is recorded as accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity net of income tax effect. This compares to a net unrealized loss of $1.5 million at December 31, 2021. The current unrealized loss position of the securities portfolio is due to changes in market interest rates since purchase. No securities are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.
Loans
The loan portfolio comprises a major component of the Company’s earning assets. All of the Company’s loans are to domestic borrowers. Total net loans receivable (excluding PPP loans) at March 31, 2022 decreased $3.8 million to $1.09 billion from $1.10 billion at December 31, 2021. The gross loan-to-deposit ratio (excluding PPP loans) decreased from 76% at December 31, 2021 to 73% at March 31, 2022. The Company’s loan portfolio at March 31, 2022 was comprised of residential real estate and consumer loans of $620.9 million, an increase of $1.6 million from December 31, 2021, and commercial loans of $483.3 million, a decrease of $5.3 million from December 31, 2021. The commercial loan decrease was caused, in part, by several larger non-PPP loan payoffs during the quarter and the timing of the closing of pipeline loans. The Company’s commercial loan pipeline nearly doubled to approximately $80 million in March 2022, compared to December 2021. The Company also added a new commercial lender in the first quarter of 2022. The Company has not originated, nor does it intend to originate, sub-prime mortgage loans. The Company was a participant in the SBA PPP program to support the needs of its small business clients. PPP loans receivable at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $2.1 million and $8.6 million, respectively. Including PPP loans receivable, the gross loan-to-deposit ratio was 73% and 76% at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Payment accommodations related to COVID-19 assistance were in the form of short-term (six months or less) principal and/or interest deferrals and the loans were considered current at the time of the accommodation. These payment accommodations were made in accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act and the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus and the Company did not categorize these modifications as troubled debt restructurings. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had one hundred eighty-six (186) loans totaling $109.0 million, for which the payment accommodation period has ended and the loans have resumed payments under their original contractual terms.
Credit Risk and Loan Quality
The Company’s allowance for loan losses remained flat at $11.5 million at March 31, 2022, an increase of $1 thousand compared to December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for loan losses represented 1.04% and 1.03% of total loans receivable. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for loan losses represented 1.04%, respectively, of total loans receivable excluding PPP loans, which are guaranteed by the SBA. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company increased the other economic conditions methodology to reflect record inflation, continued supply chain disruptions, and overarching economic implications caused by the Ukraine conflict, leading to an increase in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans receivable and a decrease in the unallocated reserve. In determining its allowance for loan loss level at March 31, 2022, the Company considered the health and composition of its loan portfolio going into and during the COVID-19 pandemic. All loans that had the CARES Act Section 4013 modification are provided additional qualitative reserve in the Company’s allowance for loan loss
calculation. The Company’s non-performing loans to total loans receivable was 0.23% at March 31, 2022, compared to 0.28% at March 31, 2021 and 0.23% at December 31, 2021. The Company’s nonperforming loans to total loans receivable excluding PPP loans was 0.23% at March 31, 2022, compared to 0.29% at March 31, 2021 and 0.23% at December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022 approximately 96% of the Company’s loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate. The Company is not required to adopt the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) FASB accounting standard until 2023. Based upon current economic conditions, the composition of the loan portfolio, the perceived credit risk in the portfolio and loan-loss experience of the Company and comparable institutions in the Company’s market area, management feels the allowance is adequate to absorb reasonably anticipated losses. The Company will continue to evaluate the allowance for loan losses as new information becomes available.
The aggregate balances on non-performing loans are included in the following table. Troubled debt restructurings, included in the following table, represent loans where the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, has granted a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. There were no loans that were modified and classified as a TDR within the prior twelve months that experienced a payment default (loans ninety or more days past due) for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Premises and Equipment
The Company’s premises and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, slightly decreased $22 thousand from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022. This decrease is due to depreciation on existing premises and equipment purchases, offset by new purchases.
Deposits
Total deposits at March 31, 2022 increased $39.6 million to $1.51 billion from $1.47 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase in the Company’s deposits was due to an increase of $20.1 million in demand, NOW and money market deposits and a $24.2 million increase in savings deposits; offset by a decrease of $4.7 million in time deposits. The growth in total deposits was primarily due to organic growth of new and existing customers. The funds were primarily used to fund new loan growth, purchase securities and to pay off FHLB long-term borrowings.
Liquidity
Liquidity represents the Company’s ability to meet the demands required for the funding of loans and to meet depositors’ requirements for use of their funds. The Company’s sources of liquidity are cash balances, due from banks, and federal funds sold. Cash and cash equivalents were $150.3 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $169.7 million at December 31, 2021.
Additional asset liquidity sources include principal and interest payments from the investment security and loan portfolios. Long-term liquidity needs may be met by selling unpledged securities available for sale, selling or participating loans, or raising additional capital. At March 31, 2022, the Company had $342.1 million of available for sale securities. Securities with carrying values of approximately $125.2 million and $114.0 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure securities sold under agreements to repurchase, public deposits, and for other purposes required or permitted by law.
At March 31, 2022, the Bank had a maximum borrowing capacity for short-term and long-term advances of approximately $714.3 million. This borrowing capacity with the FHLB includes a line of credit of $150.0 million. There were no short-term FHLB advances
outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. There were no long-term FHLB advances outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and $14.7 million in long-term FHLB advances outstanding as of December 31, 2021. All FHLB borrowings are secured by qualifying assets of the Bank.
The Bank has a federal funds line of credit with the ACBB of $10.0 million, of which none was outstanding at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Advances from this line are unsecured.
The Company has a revolving line of credit facility with the ACBB of $5.0 million, of which none was outstanding at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Advances from this line are unsecured.
The Company has no investment in or financial relationship with any unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or capital resources.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not reflect various off-balance sheet arrangements that are made in the normal course of business, which may involve some liquidity risk. These off-balance sheet arrangements consist of unfunded loans and commitments, as well as lines of credit made under the same standards as on-balance sheet instruments. These unused commitments totaled $181.1 million and $164.7 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $9.4 million and $9.5 million, respectively. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them will expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Company. Management is of the opinion that the Company’s liquidity is sufficient to meet its anticipated needs. Management will continue to evaluate the Company’s liquidity position for changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Capital Resources and Adequacy
Total stockholders’ equity was $103.0 million as of March 31, 2022, representing a net decrease of $19.6 million from December 31, 2021. The decrease in capital was primarily the result of an increase of $24.1 million in unrealized losses due to market conditions on available for sale securities and treasury stock purchases of $18 thousand, offset by net income of $4.2 million and an increase in surplus of $296 thousand due to stock grants and employee stock purchases with compensation expense.
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain actions by regulators that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
The regulations require that banks maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and Tier I capital to average assets (as defined in the regulations). As of March 31, 2022, the Bank met the minimum requirements. In addition, the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the amounts required to be considered “well capitalized” as defined in the regulations.

Note: Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are excluded from regulatory capital components of risk-based capital and leverage ratios.
In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the federal banking regulators established minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total assets) guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum leverage ratio of 3% for those bank holding companies which have the highest regulatory examination ratings and are not contemplating or experiencing significant growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4%.
The capital ratios to be considered “well capitalized” under the capital rules are: common equity of 6.5%, Tier 1 leverage of 5%, Tier 1 risk-based capital of 8%, and total risk-based capital of 10%.
The Company qualifies as a small bank holding company and is not subject to the Federal Reserve’s consolidated capital rules, although an institution that so qualifies may continue to file reports that include such capital amounts and ratios. The Company has elected to continue to report those amounts and ratios.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company’s primary source of market risk is interest rate risk. A principal objective of the Company’s asset/liability management policy is to minimize the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates by an ongoing review of the maturity and repricing of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO), included as part of the Board of Directors meetings, oversees this review, which establishes policies to control interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate sensitivity is the volatility of a company’s earnings resulting from a movement in market interest rates. The Company monitors rate sensitivity in order to reduce vulnerability to interest rate fluctuations while maintaining adequate capital levels and acceptable levels of liquidity. The Company’s asset/liability management policy, monthly and quarterly financial reports, along with simulation modeling, supplies management with guidelines to evaluate and manage rate sensitivity.
Based on a twelve-month forecast of the balance sheet, the following table sets forth the Company’s interest rate risk profile at March 31, 2022. For income simulation purposes, personal and business savings accounts reprice every three months, personal and business NOW accounts reprice every four months and personal and business money market accounts reprice every two months. The impact on net interest income, illustrated in the following table, would vary if different assumptions were used or if actual experience differs from that indicated by the assumptions.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures
The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). This term refers to the controls and procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022, and they have concluded that, as of this date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at ensuring that required information will be disclosed on a timely basis in our reports filed under the Exchange Act.
There were no significant changes to our internal controls over financial reporting or in the other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weakness.
