The Company’s net interest margin was 3.14% for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 3.84% for the nine months ended March 31, 2023.
On July 1, 2023, the Company adopted the new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology for estimating credit losses. This resulted in a $189,000 increase to the allowance for credit losses (the “ACL”) and a one-time cumulative adjustment resulted in a $189,000 decrease to stockholders’ equity. For purchased credit deteriorated loans, the Company applied the guidance under CECL using the prospective transition approach. As a result, the Company adjusted the amortized cost basis of the purchased credit deteriorated loans by $170,000 to reclassify the purchase discount to the allowance for credit losses on July 1, 2023. The ACL account increased $359,000 from these two transactions. No provision expense was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, a recovery of credit losses of $16,000 was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and a provision of $11,000 was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the ACL was $4.9 million, and the ratio of ACL to gross loans was 0.97%. As of June 30, 2023, the ACL was $5.2 million, and the ratio of ACL to gross loans was 1.05%.

The $2,000 decrease in non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, resulted from a decrease in gain on sale of loans of $18,000, a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts of $17,000, and a decrease in gain on sale of fixed assets of $4,000, partially offset by an increase in gain on sale of securities of $26,000, an increase in other non-interest income of $8,000, and an increase in income on bank owned life insurance of $3,000. The $516,000 decrease in non-interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, resulted from an increase in loss on sale of real estate of $415,000, a decrease in gain on sale of loans of $220,000, and a decrease in gain on sale of fixed assets of $4,000, partially offset by an increase in service charges on deposit accounts of $77,000, an increase in gain on sale of securities of $26,000, an increase in other non-interest income of $15,000, and an increase in income from bank owned life insurance of $5,000. The decreases in gain on sale of loans for both the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2024, were primarily due to a decrease in mortgage loan originations caused by the higher interest rate environment. The loss on sale of real estate for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily due to the bulk sale of twenty-one distressed rental properties.
The $507,000 decrease in non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, resulted from decreases in professional fees of $789,000, data processing expense of $24,000, advertising expense of $20,000, occupancy and equipment expense of $8,000, and loan and collection expense of $3,000, partially offset by increases in compensation and benefits expense of $134,000, other non-interest expense of $130,000, deposit insurance premium expense of $41,000, franchise and bank shares tax expense of $23,000, amortization of core deposit intangible expense of $8,000, and audit and examination fees of $1,000. The $619,000 increase in non-interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, resulted from increases in compensation and benefits expense of $443,000, audit and examination fees of $213,000, amortization of core deposit intangible expense of $187,000, deposit insurance premium expense of $139,000, other non-interest expense of $104,000, franchise and bank shares tax expense of $102,000, occupancy and equipment expense of $85,000, and advertising expense of $64,000, partially offset by decreases in professional fees of $642,000, data processing expense of $51,000, and loan and collection expense of $25,000. The decrease in professional fees for both periods was due to the acquisition of First National Bank of Benton, which increased professional fees for the March 31, 2023 quarter. The increases in compensation and benefits expense were primarily due to additional branch and back office staff.
Total assets decreased $17.9 million, or 2.7%, from $660.9 million at June 30, 2023 to $643.0 million at March 31, 2024.

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to a decrease in total deposits and the funding of additional loan growth. The decrease in held to maturity securities was primarily due to $4.2 million in principal payments.
Total liabilities decreased $19.9 million, or 3.3%, from $610.4 million at June 30, 2023 to $590.5 million at March 31, 2024. The decrease in liabilities was comprised of decreases in total deposits of $18.5 million, or 3.1%, from $597.4 million at June 30, 2023 to $578.9 million at March 31, 2024, other accrued expenses and liabilities of $1.2 million, or 31.4%, from $3.9 million at June 30, 2023 to $2.7 million at March 31, 2024, advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance of $138,000, or 24.9 %, from $554,000 at June 30, 2023 to $416,000 at March 31, 2024, and other borrowings of $50,000, or 0.6%, from $8.6 million at June 30, 2023 to $8.5 million at March 31, 2024.

The Company had no balances in brokered deposits at March 31, 2024 compared to $3.0 million at June 30, 2023. There was a shift of balances between deposit categories due to customers moving funds from lower yielding categories to higher yielding categories. The $18.5 million decrease in deposits from June 30, 2023 to March 31, 2024 was primarily due to an estate settlement totaling $24.8 million. $15.4 million of the settlement has been paid out to date, with the remaining $9.4 million to be paid out in the future.
At March 31, 2024, the Company had $2.4 million of non-performing assets (defined as non-accruing loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, and other real estate owned) compared to $1.6 million on non-performing assets at June 30, 2023, consisting of six commercial non-real estate loans, six single-family residential loans, three home equity line-of-credit loans, and one land loan at March 31, 2024, compared to seven single-family residential loans, three commercial non-real estate loans, one consumer loan and two single-family residences in other real estate owned at June 30, 2023. At March 31, 2024 the Company had seven commercial non-real-estate loans, seven single family residential loans, four home-equity line-of-credit loans, one land loans, and one auto loan classified as substandard, compared to ten single family residential loans, three commercial non-real-estate loans, two commercial real estate loans, and three home equity line-of-credit loans classified as substandard at June 30, 2023. There were no loans classified as doubtful at March 31, 2024 or June 30, 2023.
Shareholders’ equity increased $2.0 million, or 4.0%, from $50.5 million at June 30, 2023 to $52.6 million at March 31, 2024. The increase in shareholders’ equity was comprised of current year net income of $3.0 million, a decrease in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive loss of $31,000, the vesting of restricted stock awards, stock options, and the release of employee stock ownership plan shares totaling $375,000, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the exercise of stock options of $19,000, partially offset by dividends paid totaling $1.2 million, CECL implementation totaling $189,000, and stock repurchases of $7,000.
