RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Linked Quarter Basis
Net income was $5.4 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared with net income of $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2021. Earnings per share were $0.24 basic and fully diluted for the second quarter of 2021 and $0.30 basic and fully diluted for the first quarter of 2021. Provision for loan losses reflected a credit of $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared with no provision in the second quarter of 2021. Continued improvement in credit quality and loan risk ratings was the driver behind the recapture in the first quarter of previous provision. There was a more stable economic climate in the first and second quarters of 2021 compared with each quarter in 2020. Net interest income increased by $419,000 in the second quarter compared with the first quarter of 2021. Net interest income was positively affected by a continuation of decreasing costs in interest expense, which declined $215,000 on a linked quarter basis, and by an increase of $204,000 in interest and dividend income. Noninterest income decreased $167,000 on a linked quarter basis while noninterest expenses increased by $437,000, driven by merger related expenses of $570,000. Income tax expense decreased $368,000 in the second quarter of 2021 compared with the prior quarter. Details of the linked quarter financial performance of the Company are presented below.
