For the year, net income was an annual record of $8.5 million or $1.53 per share, increasing by $2.3 million or $0.41 per share from the same period last year, primarily from generating higher net interest income and not having to recognize the provision of loan losses this year.

"We had a very profitable year and have continued to attain record growth quarter after quarter despite the economic uncertainties and public health challenges," said Peter Park, President and CEO. He added that, "As a way of rewarding our shareholders, the board has approved the Stock Repurchase Program which has significantly increased our stock liquidity since it commenced in December of 2021. Although we continue to see headwinds in the banking industry and the broader economy, we will be increasing investments in our infrastructure so that we can deliver consistent results for years to come."
