−Removed: • For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $3.5 million based on changes in the loan portfolio and economic forecasts, and a reversal of the provision for unfunded commitments of $1.5 million related to fluctuations in the levels and mix of outstanding loans commitments.
−Removed: No provision for credit losses or unfunded commitments was required in the comparable period of 2021, which was the first quarter we adopted CECL.
−Removed: • Noninterest income declined $1.4 million, or 6.9%, from the prior year period primarily due to a $3.4 million decrease in mortgage banking income related to lower levels of activity, a $2.0 million decrease in SBA consulting fees due to lower PPP-related revenues, and a $1.2 million decrease in commissions on sales of financial and insurance products due to the sale of substantially all of the assets of our property and casualty insurance agency subsidiary in June 2021.

The primary balance sheet changes are presented below.
Refer also to additional discussion in the Financial Condition section following.
−Removed: • Total loans amounted to $6.1 billion at March 31, 2022, a decrease of $17.0 million, or 0.28% from year end due primarily to reductions in PPP loans through forgiveness which more than offset organic growth during the first quarter of 2022.
−Removed: • Total investment securities increased $86.9 million from December 31, 2021 to a total of $3.2 billion at March 31, 2022, as the Company deployed excess liquidity during the period.

−Removed: • Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased $140.0 million related to higher unrealized losses on available for sale securities due to increased market rates experienced in the first quarter of 2022.
+Added: • Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased $224.4 million related to higher unrealized losses on available for sale securities due to increased market rates experienced in the second quarter of 2022.

+Added: No provision for credit losses and a $1.9 million provision for unfunded commitments was required in the comparable period of 2021.
