The increases in net interest margin for the current quarter compared with the previous and year ago quarters were primarily due to a decrease in cost of fund and increases in investment securities and other-interest earning assets yields, partially offset by a decrease in loan yield. During the current quarter, the Company received a special dividend on Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock of $424 thousand, which contributed additional 5 basis point increase to the net interest margin.
Loans. The decreases in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to decreases in market rates and net accretion of discount on loans, partially offset by an increase in net amortization of deferred loan fees.

Interest-Bearing Deposits. The decreases in average cost for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to decreases in market rates.

Salaries and Employee Benefits. The increase for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to increases in accruals for bonus and vacation, and group insurance, and a decrease in direct loan origination cost, which offsets and defers the recognition of salaries and benefits expense, partially offset by a decrease in salaries and other employee benefits. The increase for the current quarter compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to increases in salaries and group insurance, and a decrease in loan origination cost. The number of full-time equivalent employees was 264, 264 and 257 as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
Professional Fees. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was due to higher internal audit fees for the previous quarter as a part of the year-end process.
Marketing and Business Promotion. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to yearend promotions during the previous quarter. The increase for the current quarter compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to an increase in advertising.
Other Expense. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to decreases in expenses related to legal, armed guard and office supplies. The decrease for the current quarter compared with the year-ago quarter was primarily due to an impairment on operating lease assets of $146 thousand for a sublease contract and recognition of contingent liabilities for legal settlements of $183 thousand during the year-ago quarter.

The decrease in loans held-for-sale for the current quarter was primarily due to sales of $21.8 million and pay-downs of $149 thousand, partially offset by new funding of $12.4 million and a loan transferred from loans held-for-investment of $1.1 million.
