  • The increase compared to first quarter of 2020 was primarily the result of increases in loan and investment portfolio volumes, partially offset by a decrease in the earning asset yield.
  • Increases over the linked quarter were primarily the result of increases in the loan yields as a result of fees on PPP loans as customers were granted loan forgiveness.
• Interest expense decreased to $410,000 from $669,000 during the first quarter of 2020 and $421,000 during the fourth quarter of 2020.

Loan modifications programs: InBank rolled out InNeed, two programs for loan deferrals for borrowers that were adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The programs allowed an interest-only option for 90 days or a 90-day total payment deferral (interest and principal).  15 borrowers participated in the interest-only program and as of quarter-end all credits had returned to normal payments without incident.  Below is a chart of the loans that were modified for interest only payments.

In the total payment deferral program, deferrals were granted on 42 loans representing $55.4 million in outstanding balances.  Hotels represented the greatest concentration of these deferrals.  As of March 31, 2021, 39 of the 42 loans had returned to full payment status from full payment deferral, again without issue and the remaining three loans will be returning to full payment status in the second quarter.

During the first quarter, the States of Colorado and New Mexico experienced improved COVID case counts and lower positivity in conjunction with the vaccine roll out and have reduced restrictions. This has been positive for most industries including retail and hospitality businesses. Management believes that the business environment will normalize during the remainder of 2021 and the need for modifications and deferrals will be reduced or eliminated.  Based on current conditions, the InNeed program has been discontinued.

The Bank is also tracking the recovery of accrued interest on these loans and as of March 31, 2021, 30 of the loans had repaid the interest accrual and were making principal and interest payments.  11 loans still have an accrued interest balance and the accrued interest is expected to be recovered by the first quarter 2022.  One loan was paid in full.
