Balance Sheet

Total loans, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2022 were $420.4 million compared to $387.4 million at December 31, 2021.

Total deposits were $534.8 million at December 31, 2022 compared to total deposits of $547.7 million at December 31, 2021.

Credit Quality

The allowance for loan losses was $5,159,000, or 1.23% of loans, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2022, compared to $5,059,000, or 1.31% of loans, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2021. There were no nonperforming assets at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Capital

At December 31, 2022, shareholders’ equity totaled $33.3 million compared to $37.0 million at December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2022, the Company's book value per common share was $22.48 compared to $25.31 at December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 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 $(12,105,000) at December 31, 2022, compared to $(945,000) at December 31, 2021. Excluding AOCI, book value increased to $30.66 at December 31, 2022, compared to $25.96 at December 31, 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 December 31, 2022, the Bank’s estimated total risk-based capital ratio was 12.61% and its tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets ratio was 11.52%. The Bank remains well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.
