Rick Smith, President and CEO added; “The actions and activities that we pursued during the second half of last year continue to benefit Tri Counties Bank as evidenced by the significant reduction in noninterest expenses and our efficiency ratio. In addition, we rewarded shareholders with an increase in our dividend which now equates to $1.00 per year paid in quarterly amounts of $0.25. Our entire team has become more energized by the idea and growing ability to return to our offices, as well as the increasing level of market activity and opportunities that we continue to pursue.”

SBA Paycheck Protection Program
In March 2020, the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) was created to help small businesses keep workers employed during the COVID-19 crisis. In December 2020, the SBA announced plans for a second round of PPP lending with streamlined requirements for both borrowers and lenders. Effective Friday, January 15, 2021, Tri Counties Bank launched and began accepting applications via an improved on-line portal which allows borrowers to open a new account and submit PPP applications under the new PPP guidance.
The following is a summary of PPP loan related activity as of the periods indicated:

As of March 31, 2021, the total gross balance outstanding of PPP loans (Round 1) was $193,958,000 (948 loans) as compared to total round 1 PPP originations of $438,510,000. Included in the balance of outstanding PPP loans as of March 31, 2021 are approximately 115 loans totaling $75,669,000 that have been submitted to and are pending forgiveness by the SBA. In connection with the origination of these loans, the Company earned approximately $15,735,000 in loan fees, offset by deferred loan costs of approximately $763,000, the net of which will be recognized over the earlier of loan maturity (generally 24 months), repayment or receipt of forgiveness confirmation. As of March 31, 2021 there was approximately $2,358,000 in net deferred fee income remaining to be recognized. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized $4,854,000 in fees on round 1 PPP loans.
As of March 31, 2021, the total gross balance outstanding of PPP loans (Round 2) was $176,316,000 (1,536 loans) as compared to round 2 originations of the same amount. In connection with the origination of these loans, the Company earned approximately $7,850,000 in loan fees, offset by deferred loan costs of approximately $400,000, the net of which will be recognized over the earlier of loan maturity (generally 60 months), repayment or receipt of forgiveness confirmation. As of March 31, 2021 there was approximately $7,072,000 in net deferred fee income remaining to be recognized. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized $378,000 in fees on round 2 PPP loans. Based on application and approval activity occurring subsequent to March 31, 2021, management anticipates that total round 2 PPP originations will approximate 1,700 loans for $190,215,000 and which are expected generate $9,055,000 in fees from the SBA.
COVID Deferrals
Following the passage of the CARES Act legislation, the “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus” was issued by federal bank regulators, which offers temporary relief from troubled debt restructuring accounting for loan payment deferrals for certain customers whose businesses are experiencing economic hardship due to Coronavirus. The applicable period for this relief, originally expected to expire on December 31, 2020, was extended through 2021 by way of the Consolidated Appropriations Act. The Company continues to closely monitor the effects of the pandemic on our loan and deposit customers. Our management team continues to be focused on assessing the risks in our loan portfolio and working with our customers to mitigate where possible, the risk of potential losses. Beginning in April 2020, the Company implemented loan programs to allow certain consumers and businesses impacted by the pandemic to defer loan principal and interest payments.

Since inception, total loan modifications associated with CARES Act legislation totaled approximately $439,346,000, of which $48,266,000 and $48,358,000 remained outstanding under their modified terms as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Of the remaining balance outstanding as of March 31, 2021, $18,039,000 is related to second deferrals which are expected to conclude their modification period by August, 2021 and $1,845,000 is related to third deferrals expected to conclude in October, 2021. The Company has elected to forgo the CARES Act Relief guidance for loans totaling $2,160,000 and including all borrowers requesting third deferrals and has deemed such loans along with a limited number of other loans to be impaired under traditional TDR guidance. The remaining balance of loans with modified terms are expected to conclude their modification period during fiscal 2021, however, as long as the current pandemic and recessionary economic conditions continue, it is anticipated that additional borrowers may request an initial or subsequent modification to their loan terms.
Management believes that its analysis of each borrower receiving a loan modification supports the ability of that borrower to return to their normal payment terms at the conclusion of the modification period. However, management determined that risk rating downgrades for each credit receiving a deferral modification was prudent until such time that the borrower’s actual payment performance supported an upgrade to the pre-modification risk grade.
Balance Sheet
Total loans outstanding, excluding PPP, grew to $4.61 billion as of March 31, 2021, an increase of 5.2% over the same quarter of the prior year, and an annualized increase of 15.3% over the trailing quarter. Investments outstanding increased to $1.96 billion as of March 31, 2021, an increase of 56.7% annualized over the trailing quarter. Average earning assets to total average assets continued to increase to 92.7% at March 31, 2021, as compared to 92.4% and 90.4% at December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, respectively. The Company’s loan to deposit ratio was 72.4% at March 31, 2021, as compared to 73.2% and 81.1% at December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, respectively.
Total shareholders’ equity increased by $17,425,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, primarily as a result of net income of $33,649,000, partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $9,319,000, and by $7,432,000 in cash dividends paid on common stock. As a result, the Company’s book value increased to $31.71 per share at March 31, 2021 as compared to $31.12 and $28.91 at December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, respectively.

The growth of deposit balances continued during the first quarter of 2021, increasing by $357,466,000 or 22.0% annualized. The available liquidity from deposit growth was allocated to fund non-PPP loan and investment growth during the period, which increased by $169,776,000 and $243,678,000, or 15.3% and 56.7% annualized, respectively. Approximately $101,466,000 of the non-PPP loan growth during the quarter is attributed to an acquired pool of mortgage loans. New originations of the second round of PPP stimulus more than offset the decline in loans outstanding from the first round of PPP following SBA forgiveness, resulting in an increase of total loans during the first quarter of 2021 by $203,850,000 or 17.1% on an annualized basis as compared to the trailing quarter.

The decline in average total loans of $4,690,000, or (0.4)% on an annualized basis, during the first quarter of 2021 was inconsistent with the actual period end growth as compared to the trailing quarter of $203,850,000 or 17.1%, primarily due to the Company’s loan originations occurring in the latter half of the quarter. In addition, the Company purchased a pool of single family residential mortgages totaling approximately $101,466,000 on the final day of the quarter. These purchased loans had at weighted average coupon of approximately 2.72% and an expected yield of approximately 2.48%. The significant growth in both ending and average balances of investment securities was a direct result of management’s focus on the deployment of excess cash balances which remained elevated due to continued deposit growth during the quarter.

As discussed in previous quarters, the PPP program generated significant increases in volume during the twelve months ended March 31, 2021 for both loan and deposit balances. Other forms of stimulus payments have further elevated deposit levels during the same period. While excess deposit proceeds are ratably being allocated to the purchase of investment securities with medium term durations to improve overall margin, we expect to maintain above average levels of liquidity through 2021, as the economic impacts of COVID-19 and amount of future stimulus both remain uncertain. Investment securities increased to $1,962,780,000 at March 31, 2021, a change of $580,754,000 or 42.0% from $1,382,026,000 at March 31, 2020.

(1) | Information is presented on a fully tax-equivalent (FTE) basis. The Company believes the use of this non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) measure provides additional clarity in assessing its results, and the presentation of these measures on a FTE basis is a common practice within the banking industry. |
Loans may be acquired at a premium or discount to par value, in which case, the premium is amortized (subtracted from) or accreted (added to) interest income over the remaining life of the loan. Generally, as time goes on, the effects of loan discount accretion and loan premium amortization decrease as the purchased loans mature or pay off early. Upon the early pay off of a loan, any remaining unaccreted discount or unamortized premium is immediately taken into interest income; and as loan payoffs may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, so may the impact of discount accretion and premium amortization on interest income. As a result of the uptick in interest rates, the prepayment rate of portfolio loans, inclusive of those acquired at a premium or discount, decreased during the first quarter of 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, purchased loan discount accretion was $1,712,000, $1,960,000, and $1,748,000, respectively.
