The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans not including PPP loans was 1.13% on June 30, 2021, compared to 1.35% as of December 31, 2020. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses in 2021 was largely the result of the Company decreasing the qualitative factors in its allowance for loan loss model due to the improving overall economic outlook and specifically related to the economic effects COVID-19.

Noninterest income totaled $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with $1.6 million for the same period in 2020, a decrease of $290,000 or 17.9%.

Noninterest expense totaled $3.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $263,000, or 7.8%, from the same period in 2020. The increase was driven by higher employee salaries which increased by $296,000 compared to the prior period.
