The main causes of the increase in net income compared to prior periods were an increase in deposit service charges on accounts and an increase in other non-interest income due to a Bank Enterprise Award (BEA) grant from the Fund. of Community Development Financial Institutions.
As of June 30, 2022, Lumbee reported assets of $481.9 million, an increase of 6.0% over assets of $454.6 million as of June 30, 2021.

Net interest income totaled $3.51 million in the second quarter of 2022, up 2.8% from $3.41 million in the prior year quarter. The stability of interest income was due to a decrease in Paycheck Protection Program fees in 2021 offset by an increase in interest on investments during the second quarter of 2022. Non-interest income increased 58.7 % to $808 thousand in the second quarter of 2022 from $509 thousand in the prior year quarter, due to higher deposit service charges and the aforementioned BEA concession. Non-interest expense was $2.91 million in the second quarter of 2022, up 3.4% from $2.81 million in the prior year quarter. The higher expenses were due to a combination of higher data processing costs and other expenses.
