Balance Sheet

Total loans, net of unearned income, at September 30, 2022 were $400.5 million compared to $388.5 million at September 30, 2021.

Total deposits were $545.3 million at September 30, 2022 compared to total deposits of $500.1 million at September 30, 2021.

Credit Quality

The allowance for loan losses was $5,172,000, or 1.29% of loans, net of unearned income, at September 30, 2022, compared to $4,909,000, or 1.26% of loans, net of unearned income, at September 30, 2021. There were no nonperforming assets at September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

Capital

At September 30, 2022, shareholders’ equity totaled $30.6 million compared to $35.5 million at September 30, 2021. At September 30, 2022, the Company's book value per common share was $20.81 compared to $24.37 at September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, increasing interest rates resulted in a decline in the fair value of available for sale investment securities. This impact is reflected in the decline in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to $(12,763,000) at September 30, 2022, compared to $(378,000) at September 30, 2021. Excluding AOCI, book value increased to $29.50 at September 30, 2022, compared to $24.63 at September 30, 2021.

AOCI has no effect on Cornerstone Community Bank’s (the Bank) regulatory capital ratios as the Bank opted to exclude it from regulatory capital calculations. At September 30, 2022, the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 13.39% and its tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets ratio was 12.18%. The Bank remains well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.
