Balance Sheet: June 30, 2021, compared to December 31, 2020
Total assets decreased $313.0 million to $548.6 million at June 30, 2021 from $861.6 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily the result of decreases of $335.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $14.1 million in loans held for sale, offset by increases of $21.7 million in net loans receivable, $10.2 million in investment securities, $1.4 million in right-of-use asset, and $1.1 million in mortgage servicing rights and $602,000 in other assets. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $335.1 million to $79.5 million at June 30, 2021 from $414.6 million at December 31, 2020 as a result of anticipated outflows of retail deposits in our core deposit from certain accounts.
Total liabilities decreased $315.6 million, or 38.4%, to $507.1 million at June 30, 2021, from $822.7 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease in total liabilities was primarily from a $293.4 million decrease in deposits, $31.1 million decrease in advances from the PPPLF, $1.7 million decrease in other liabilities offset by the issuance of a $10.0 million subordinated note and $1.5 million increase in operating lease liabilities. Deposits decreased $293.4 million, or 40.1%, to $437.4 million at June 30, 2021 from $730.8 million at December 31, 2020. Our core deposits (consisting of demand deposits, money market, passbook and statement and checking accounts) decreased $278.2 million, or 41.6%, to $390.5 million at June 30, 2021 from $668.7 million at December 31, 2020 as there was an anticipated decrease in certain retail accounts in our core deposits during the first quarter of 2021. Certificates of deposit decreased $15.2 million, or 24.5%, to $46.9 million at June 30, 2021 from $62.1 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease in certificates of deposit was the result of a $10.0 million decrease of certificates of deposit issued through brokers and a $5.2 million decrease in retail growth of certificates of deposit.
Total shareholders’ equity increased $2.5 million to $41.4 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $38.9 million at December 31, 2020 primarily as a result of net income of $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, share based compensation expense of $121,000, ESOP shares committed to be released of $77,000 and a stock option exercises of $28,000. Offsetting these increases was other comprehensive loss of $33,000 due to the fair value adjustments, net of deferred tax, on the investment securities available-for-sale portfolio and $267,000 in treasury stock repurchases primarily as part of the stock repurchase plan approved in April 2019.
Income Statement: For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to June 30, 2020
Net Interest Income:
Net interest income increased $1.0 million to $3.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, from $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The increase reflected a $22.1 million increase in our net interest-earning assets, which increased to $92.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 from $70.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Net interest income increased $2.1 million to $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $4.7 million for six months ended June 30, 2020. Our net interest-earning assets increased $25.7 million to $88.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $62.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Provision for loan losses:

Provision for loan losses decreased by $146,000 to $415,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $561,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, net charge-offs of $172,000 and $153,000 were recorded.

Non-interest income was $3.9 million and $8.0 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $3.9 million and $6.1 million for the same periods in 2020. The increase in non-interest income of $1.9 million to $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to a $4.1 million increase in the gain on sale of loans, net offset by a decrease of $1.4 million in change in fair value of loans held for sale, and a $1.0 million decrease on gain on derivative instruments and a $141,000 decrease in gains on sale of available-for-sale securities, net.

The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months of June 30, 2020 was primarily a result of an increase of $822,000 in salaries and employee benefits, $256,000 in professional fees and other expenses and $104,000 in occupancy expenses. Salaries increased as full time equivalent (FTE) employees increased to one-hundred forty-six as of June 30, 2021, from one-hundred as of June 30, 2020 primarily as a result of the expansion of the Company’s lending and business banking operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the increase was primarily a result of additional salaries and employee benefits of $1.9 million, $244,000 in data processing related operations costs, $236,000 in Federal deposit insurance premiums and $232,000 in professional fees and other expenses.
Income Taxes:
Income tax expense was $544,000 and $1.0 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $590,000 and $638,000 during the same periods in fiscal year 2020. The decrease in income tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period a year ago reflected a decrease in income before taxes.
