−Removed: Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of
−Removed: our financial statements.

−Removed: our deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance.
−Removed: provision for loan losses reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments.
−Removed: If the financial condition of our borrowers were to further deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments,
−Removed: our estimates would be updated, and additional provisions could be required.
−Removed: tax assets or liabilities are computed based upon the difference between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and

−Removed: Last year, as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act), the Small Business Administration
−Removed: (SBA) was authorized to guarantee Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans used by borrowers for payroll and other permitted purposes.
−Removed: The SBA provided a 100% guarantee and paid originators a processing fee ranging from 1% to 5%, based on the loan amount.
−Removed: a total of $44.5 million of these loans for our customers through August 2020, when the funding period closed, and received $1.6
−Removed: million in net fees from the SBA, which is being recognized as income over the terms of these loans.
−Removed: Through March 31, 2021, 407

+Added: Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our
+Added: financial statements.
+Added: Our most critical accounting policies relate to the allowance for loan losses and the related provision for
+Added: loan losses and the calculation of our deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance.
+Added: allowance represents an amount that, in the Company's judgment, will be adequate to absorb probable and estimable losses inherent in
+Added: the loan portfolio.
+Added: The judgment in determining the level of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectability of loans while
+Added: taking into consideration such factors as trends in delinquencies and charge-offs for relevant periods of time, changes in the nature
+Added: and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect a borrower's ability to repay and the value of collateral,
+Added: overall portfolio quality and review of specific potential losses.
+Added: This evaluation is inherently subjective because it requires estimates
+Added: that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
+Added: tax assets or liabilities are computed based upon the difference between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities
+Added: using the enacted marginal tax rate.
+Added: In the past, the Company provided a valuation
+Added: allowance on its net deferred tax assets where it was deemed more likely than not such assets would not be realized.
+Added: At March 31, 2022
+Added: and December 31, 2021, the Company had no valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets.

and Highlights
−Removed: Company had net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of $1.58 million, or basic net income per share of $0.07, as
−Removed: compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 when the Company had net income of $46 thousand, or $0.00 basic net income per
−Removed: The primary drivers for the increase were increases in net interest income of $204 thousand, a reduction in the provision
−Removed: for loan losses of $814 thousand, and a reduction in total noninterest expense of $910 thousand.
−Removed: interest income increased $271 thousand due to a $647 thousand decrease in interest expense, which more than offset a $376 thousand
−Removed: decrease in interest income.
−Removed: An increased volume of earning assets, due largely to loan growth, including PPP loans, and interest
−Removed: earning deposits resulting from stimulus payments and PPP loan forgiveness resulted in a volume related increase in interest income
−Removed: of $725 thousand, which was offset by $1.1 million decrease due to lower interest rates, resulting in a net decrease in interest
−Removed: income of $376 thousand.
−Removed: The reduction in interest expense was driven by the reduction in market rates throughout 2020 and into
+Added: Company generated net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $1.9 million, or basic and diluted net income per share of
+Added: $0.08, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 when the Company had net income of $1.6 million, or $0.07 basic and diluted
+Added: net income per share.
+Added: The primary drivers for the increase were increases in net interest income of $208 thousand, a reduction in the
+Added: provision for loan losses of $86 thousand, and an increase in total noninterest income of $241 thousand.
+Added: interest income increased $208 thousand due to a $270 thousand decrease in interest expense, which more than offset a $62 thousand decrease
+Added: in interest income.
+Added: Although year-over-year there was a $36.3 million increase in the volume of earning assets, due largely to growth
+Added: in the investment and loan portfolios of $60.7 million and $9.7 million, respectively, interest income attributed to the increased volume
+Added: of earning assets increased only $43 thousand.
+Added: There are a couple of primary reasons for the results.
+Added: One, the net increase was negatively
+Added: impacted comparative to the prior year due to a $312 thousand decrease in loan fee income resulting from the forgiveness in PPP loans
+Added: in 2021 which was not replicated in 2022.
+Added: We anticipate loan interest income to be less in the second and third quarters of 2022 as compared
+Added: to the same periods in 2021 for the same reasons related to the PPP loan fee income cessation.
+Added: Secondly, interest income was negatively
+Added: impacted by the repricing of earning assets at lower interest rates which caused a year-over-year, rate related, decline of $105 thousand.
+Added: Interest expense decreased driven by the continued low interest rate environment throughout 2021 and into the first quarter of 2022,
as our overall cost of funds fell 16 basis points year-over-year to 0.30% for the first quarter of 2022.
−Removed: reduction in the provision for loan losses is due to a combination of factors, including the limited risk associated with PPP
−Removed: loans, improving economic trends during the first quarter, including improving employment statistics, combined with the liquidity
−Removed: provided to customers through stimulus payments and the funding and forgiveness of PPP loans.
−Removed: noninterest income decreased $36 thousand during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 as the $220 thousand
−Removed: resigning fee received from a service provider in 2020, for renewing and extending the service agreement, was not repeated in
−Removed: As part of the project to improve earnings, fee schedule changes were implemented in August of 2020, and this contributed
−Removed: to more than $144 thousand of increases in service charges and other fee income during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the
−Removed: first quarter of 2020.
−Removed: However, increases in deposit balances from federal COVID relief stimulus payments to customers and PPP
−Removed: loan funds (which are generally deposited into customer accounts) reduced our fee income from overdrafts by approximately $169
−Removed: thousand for that same year-over-year quarterly comparison.
−Removed: Card processing revenue increased $111 thousand due to increased volume
−Removed: and the incremental increase in related interchange income received.
−Removed: In addition, efforts to increase noninterest income revenues
−Removed: from financial services drove an increase of $94 thousand for the same period comparison.
−Removed: noninterest expense decreased $902 thousand, as salaries and benefits expense decreased $422 thousand due to the impact of the
−Removed: restructuring implemented in May and June of 2020, and other operating expenses decreased $496 thousand.
−Removed: Effective April 16, 2021,
−Removed: our Pound and Weber City offices in Virginia, were permanently closed and the customer accounts were transferred to nearby offices.
−Removed: For the time being, ITMs remain at these locations.
−Removed: assets increased $54.0 million, or 7.1%, to $810.3 million at March 31, 2021 from $756.3 million at December 31, 2020, due largely
−Removed: to stimulus payments received by our deposit customers and ongoing PPP activity.
+Added: Also, the mix of deposits continues
+Added: to shift away from time deposits to lower, and noninterest, rate bearing deposits.
+Added: Furthermore, Federal Home Loan Bank advances were
+Added: paid off resulting in a decrease in interest expense of $96,000.
+Added: In March and May 2022, the Federal Open Market Committee raised the
+Added: target federal funds rate 25 and 50 basis points, respectively, in what is largely considered to be a series of rate increases during
+Added: Due to our interest rate sensitivity position, we anticipate interest income to increase as interest rates increase in the near
+Added: however, future year-over-year comparisons may not reflect the increase due to the impact of the PPP loan forgiveness in 2021.
+Added: year-over-year reduction in the provision for loan losses of $86 thousand is due to a combination of factors, including the improving
+Added: characteristics of the loan portfolio, as exhibited by the decline in nonperforming loans, combined with continued improving employment
+Added: Annualized net charge-offs to average loans remain at low levels and were 0.05% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
+Added: loans to total loans and nonperforming assets to total assets declined to 0.44% and 0.42%, respectively at March 31, 2022.
+Added: non-interest income increased $240,000 during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 due to increases in service
+Added: charges and fees and card processing fees of $175 thousand and $52 thousand, respectively.
+Added: The service charges and fees increase relates
+Added: to increased volume in overdraft charges related to customer activity beginning to return to pre-pandemic levels as businesses reopened
+Added: and as customers spend savings from stimulus payments accumulated during the pandemic.
+Added: Card processing fee revenue is also volume related
+Added: for reasons similar to those impacting service charge income.
+Added: In addition, year-over-year, fees generated through financial and merchant
+Added: services increased $12 thousand and $11 thousand, respectively, due to increased volume from both new and existing customers using these
+Added: We continue efforts to increase noninterest income revenue through product enhancements and customer development.
+Added: non-interest expense increased $90 thousand, as salaries and benefits expense increased $196 thousand due to the impact of increasing
+Added: our minimum base hourly wage in the fourth quarter of 2021, targeted salary adjustments to retain and attract employees, combined with
+Added: normal annual wage adjustments and added accrued costs for performance incentive plans to be awarded in the first quarter of 2023, if
+Added: 2022 goals are met.
+Added: Occupancy expense decreased $170 thousand due largely to the reduction in the number of buildings through sales or
+Added: transfers to other real estate owned.
+Added: Additionally, net depreciation costs for furniture, equipment and computer equipment decreased
+Added: $89 thousand as assets reached the end of their estimated economic useful lives, along with the decommissioning of a number of interactive
+Added: teller machines during the fourth quarter of 2021.
+Added: Other operating expenses increased $83 thousand year-over-year, primarily due to costs
+Added: related to the holding and disposal of other real estate owned, which increased from $33 thousand to $130 thousand in 2021 to 2022.
+Added: network expenses increased $25 thousand to $367 thousand, due to increased activity combined with general cost increases.
+Added: Miscellaneous
+Added: losses increased $69 thousand to $50 thousand in 2022, as compared to net recoveries of $19 thousand in 2021.
+Added: These increased expenses
+Added: were partially offset by decreases in data processing and telecommunications costs, and FDIC insurance which decreased $19 thousand and
+Added: $21 thousand, respectively.
+Added: Data processing and telecommunication costs decreased due to the reduction in the number of branch sites
+Added: and renegotiated contracts, while FDIC insurance decreased due to the improved risk factors considered in the premium assessment.
+Added: continue to decrease non-interest expenses of the Company and improve efficiency.
+Added: assets increased $18.9 million, or 2.4%, to $813.5 million at March 31, 2022 from $794.6 million at December 31, 2021, funded largely
+Added: by increased deposits as the low interest rate environment continues to provide liquidity.
Total loans increased $1.4 million, or 0.23%,
to $595.1 million at March 31, 2022 from $593.7 million at December 31, 2021.

+Added: cause for the net decrease was the change in the net unrealized loss on investment securities available for sale, which increased $5.4

+Added: Excluding the impact of the
