“I am pleased with our solid results in the second quarter,” said Henry Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In spite of the challenging macroeconomic environment, our continued focus on maintaining fundamentals in our institution provided stable level of liquidity, robust capital, and strong asset quality.”

“During the second quarter, our cash and cash equivalents to total assets increased to 8.7% of total assets and our deposit balances increased $46.5 million, or 2.2%. Several days after June 30, 2023, we established Borrower-in Custody Program with Federal Reserve Bank that provided an additional borrowing capacity of $268.9 million. Such additional borrowing capacity in combination of other borrowing capacities and cash and cash equivalent would have covered approximately 117.1% of deposits not covered by deposit insurance compared with 91.1% without the additional borrowing capacity at June 30, 2023.”

“Tangible common equity per share increased to $18.94 and our total capital ratio was 17.57%. Our loan balance increased 1.4% to $2.12 billion compared with $2.09 billion at March 31, 2023, and our asset quality continues to be strong with non-performing assets to total asset ratio of 0.15% and classified assets to total assets ratio of 0.27%.”

“Our commitment to deliver exceptional service with precise banking products to our customers and the opportunities to expand our geographical footprint gives us motivation to be excited about our prospects for continued growth in the second half of 2023 and beyond,” concluded Kim.
