Deposits decreased to $678.0 million at December 31, 2023, from $735.3 million at June 30, 2023. The large decrease in deposits was due to approximately $62.1 million in deposits from a public entity that collects real estate taxes that were on deposit at June 30, 2023 and withdrawn in the six months ended December 31, 2023, when tax monies were distributed.

Stockholders’ equity increased to $73.7 million at December 31, 2023 from $71.8 million at June 30, 2023. Equity increased primarily due to an increase of $1.7 million in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, net income of $651,000 and ESOP and stock equity plan activity of $307,000. These increases were partially offset by the accrual of approximately $639,000 in dividends to our shareholders.
