Balance Sheet: September 30, 2021, compared to December 31, 2020
Total assets decreased $325.3 million to $536.3 million at September 30, 2021, from $861.6 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily the result of decreases of $329.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $14.9 million in net loans held for sale, offset by increases of $15.8 million in investment securities, $1.4 million in mortgage servicing rights and $1.2 million in right-of-use assets, and $864,000 in other assets. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $329.9 million to $84.7 million at September 30, 2021 from $414.6 million at December 31, 2020 as a result of anticipated outflows of retail deposits from certain accounts.
Total liabilities decreased 328.9 million, or 40.0%, to $493.8 million at September 30, 2021, from $822.7 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease in total liabilities was primarily from a $290.9 million decrease in deposits, $44.9 million decrease in advances from the Federal Reserve’s Paycheck Protection Program liquidity facility (“PPPLF”), $2.7 million decrease in other liabilities offset by the issuance of a $10.0 million subordinated note and $1.3 million increase in operating lease liabilities. Deposits decreased $290.9 million, or 39.8%, to $439.9 million at September 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 $261.4 million, or 39.1%, to $407.3 million at September 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 $29.5 million, or 47.5%, to $32.6 million at September 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 $19.5 million decrease in retail growth of certificates of deposit.
Total shareholders’ equity increased $3.6 million to $42.5 million at September 30, 2021, compared to $38.9 million at December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of net income of $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, share based compensation expense of $181,000, ESOP shares committed to be released of $121,000 and stock option exercises of $28,000. Offsetting these increases was other comprehensive loss of $215,000 due to the fair value adjustments, net of deferred tax, on the investment securities available-for-sale portfolio and $274,000 in treasury stock repurchases primarily as part of the stock repurchase plan approved in April 2019.

The decrease of $1.0 million in non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to decreases of $2.9 million decrease in change in fair value of loans held-for-sale and $2.4 million on gain on derivative instruments, net offset by a $4.2 million increase in the gain on sale of loans.

Salaries increased as full time equivalent (FTE) employees increased to one-hundred forty-two as of September 30, 2021, from one-hundred eighteen as of September 30, 2020, primarily as a result of the expansion of the Company’s lending and business banking operations.
