Highlights of the 2019 Second Quarter:
• Pre-tax Pre-provision Net Income increased by 48.2% compared to prior quarter reflecting early success of the company’s restructuring efforts.
• Non-interest Income increased by 50.2% compared to the prior quarter due to strong origination of residential mortgage loans.
• Non-interest expense was reduced by 2.7% compared to the prior quarter on continued rigorous expense control.
• Loans increased at a 15.6% annualized rate to $403.2 million compared to the prior quarter reflecting a refocus on growth and success serving entrepreneurs and real estate investors.
• Non-interest bearing DDAs increased at a 49.3% annualized rate to $82.8 million, driven by the rollout of new Treasury Services products to lead relationships.
• Asset quality remains strong with the ratios of NPAs to total assets at 0.65% and the ALLL at 1.14% of loans receivable.
• Capital levels continue to be high with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 12.7% and risk is modest with the CRE/Tier 1 capital ratio at 204%.

Financial Results for Q2 2019
16
Areas of Ongoing Focus in the Second Half of 2019:
• Net Interest Income declined by 8.2% to $3.77 million compared to the prior quarter and the Bank needs an additional $25 million in net loan growth to hit target of 6% loan growth in 2019.
• Yield on average earning assets declined by 25 b.p. to 5.17% in the quarter due, in part, to reversal of interest income on loans placed on non-accrual in the second quarter.
• Cost of funds increased by 12 b.p. to 1.66% in the quarter and the Bank needs an additional $45 million in lower cost core deposits to replace higher cost wholesale funds maturing in 2019.
• Net Interest Margin of 3.27% was lower by 33 b.p. in the quarter compared to the prior period and the Bank will need more C&I loans and core deposits to hit our target of 3.4-3.6% in 2019.
• The Efficiency Ratio improved to 84.9% in the quarter, but more top line revenue growth and on-going expense discipline is required to achieve our 2019 Efficiency Ratio target range of 75-85%.
• Return on Average Assets of 0.42% in the quarter was flat compared to the prior quarter and remains sub-par and well below our ROAA target range of 0.65%-0.75% for 2019.
• Tangible Book Value per share of $8.60 increased by 1.5% over year-end 2018, depressed by more shares from exercise of legacy stock options, and below our 10% TBV growth target.
