  • Credit quality is very strong, with 99.87% of loans performing according to loan agreements. Allowance for loan losses was 1.17% of loans on June 30, 2022, compared to 1.28% on December 31, 2021.
  • The Bank maintained strong capital ratios, exceeding "well-capitalized" requirements, with Tier 1 leverage capital at 8.34%.
  • Sales of $30.4 million residential mortgages generated $1.1 million of noninterest income in the first half of 2022, compared to $1.9 million on $71.0 million of sales the first half of 2021.
  • Total assets increased 4.9% during the first half of 2022, to $783.0 million.
  • Net loans increased 13.4% to $615.1 million in the first half of 2022, including $41.4 million increase in residential mortgages and $20.1 million in commercial real estate loans.
  • Total non-brokered deposits increased 13.0% to $648.8 million on June 30, 2022, compared to $574.2 million on December 31, 2021.

Eric L. Eishen, President and CEO, stated, "Core business for the Bank has expanded significantly in the first half of this year. Both loan and deposit growth have been at historic levels. This is primarily the result of our expansion into the Berrien County area and the success of our Western Market team, a team consisting of well-seasoned bankers and strong community boards. This has allowed the Bank to attract customers served by our staff for many years. We were glad to open a full-service branch in Portage Michigan, relocate one of our South Haven branches to better facilities, and now anticipate another branch soon in Niles Michigan. While higher rates and low housing inventory have reduced mortgage banking revenue, the net interest income component of earnings continues to expand. Other components of fee revenue also continue to increase. The Bank has grown other sources of fee revenue over the past decade to help mitigate the volatility of the mortgage banking revenue. This fee revenue includes Investment Advisory Services, Title Insurance Services and a complete line of Commercial, Home and Auto Insurance. These allow the Bank to leverage existing customer relationships and more effectively serve our customer base. Credit quality is at an all-time high and the overall franchise value of the Bank is expanding."
