For the fourth quarter of 2022, net interest income increased $595,000, or 13.2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to higher market interest rates and the recovery of non-accrual loan interest. Total loans, excluding Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, increased $9.2 million, or 2.3% when comparing December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2021. Non-interest income decreased by $41,000, or 7.7% primarily due to lower miscellaneous income. Operating expenses increased by $91,000, or 2.9% primarily due higher wages and miscellaneous expense.   Total assets were $613.8 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $610.8 million at December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to core deposit growth, partially offset by lower wholesale borrowings.
