Due to strong loan growth and our continued effort to strengthen our asset quality and move non-performing loans out of the legacy portfolio, the loan loss provision was $189,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to $52,000 the year earlier quarter. The net charge-offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 were $90,000, 0.19%, of average total loans.

This is consistent with management’s goal of maintaining a strong allowance for loan growth as well as any potential future economic downturn.

Noninterest income increased to $200,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $196,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The Company had increases in service charges and fees and other income while having a decrease in income from net gain on sale of loans and net gain on sale of securities. The other income increase was primarily from the rental income from our Brookfield branch office. Noninterest income increased to $411,000 from $395,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Company had increases in service charges and fees and other income while having decreases in income from net gain on sale of loans, net gain on sale of securities, and increase in cash surrender value of insurance. The other income increase was primarily from the rental income from our Brookfield branch office.

Noninterest expense was relatively stable increasing $26,000 to $1.8 million from $1.8 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and increasing $80,000 to $3.7 million from $3.6 million for the six months June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Total assets increased $9.4 million to $265.9 million at June 30, 2018 from $256.5 million at December 31, 2017. This increase was primarily due to the increase in total loans of $21.7 million to $193.1 million at June 30, 2018 from $171.4 million at December 31, 2017. The increase in loans resulted from increases in our commercial real estate loans of $6.8 million, development loans of $5.8 million, and multifamily loans of $6.3 million. The increase in loans was offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $9.4 million and available for sale securities of $2.9 million. Total deposits decreased $16.6 million to $166.3 million at June 30, 2018 from $182.9 million at December 31, 2017, primarily due to the decrease in certificates and money market accounts.
