Current report

More recently, following a prolonged low-interest-rate environment, a series of rapid rate increases by the Federal Reserve resulted in a dramatic loss of value for bonds had been priced during the previous market. Those increases had the effect of rapidly diminishing the value of debt securities and, concomitantly, adversely affected liquidity of many financial institutions. These markets appear to have stabilized substantially; however, the United States continues to confront considerable political and economic uncertainty owing to a relatively volatile election cycle, and it remains difficult to predict or to hedge against future fluctuations. While we do not presently expect that the Federal Reserve will resume significant adjustments, the conditions that led the Federal Reserve to make the recent adjustments remain uncertain and relatively volatile, and thus are highly unpredictable. Moreover, although the U.S. presidential election cycle has concluded as of the date of this report, the implications of these events is quite recent and remains difficult to predict.

Previous report

Lastly, as a result of the prolonged low-interest-rate environment that had prevailed for years prior to the more recent market rate increases, the Bank, like most other financial institutions, had invested in treasury securities and other relatively low-yielding but stable instruments as a means to preserve liquidity, accepting the lower returns as a trade-off for a perceived lower risk profile. However, the rapidity of the Federal Reserve’s rate increases resulted in a dramatic loss of value for bonds that were paying at lower interest rates as investors eschewed those investments for higher-yielding fixed- and adjustable-rate debt securities. These forces even resulted in the closure of three large U.S. banks in early 2023, including two banks with extensive operations in our market area, when customers grew alarmed at the apparent instability in the banking sector in general, and these banks in particular.

Previous wording

Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income. We drive our income from interest received on our loan portfolio, the fee income we receive in connection with our deposits, and the sale and service of SBA loans. Our major operating expenses are the interest we pay on deposits and other borrowings, the salaries and related benefits we pay our management and staff, and the rent we pay on our leased properties. We rely primarily on locally-generated deposits, mostly from the Korean-American market within California, to fund our loan activities. We currently operate eight branches in Los Angeles and Orange Counties in California, one branch in Santa Clara, California, one branch in Carrollton, Texas and one branch near Las Vegas, Nevada. We have four loan production offices in Pleasanton, California, Atlanta, Georgia, Aurora, Colorado, and Lynnwood, Washington.

Previous wording

The increases in market interest rates also affected in loan pricing, which had multiple effects, including a reduction in borrowing (and thus a reduction in interest paid to banks) by customers that had the ability to avoid or defer additional indebtedness, a decline in the origination of new loans, and an increase in credit risk as borrowers who faced rising interest rates found it more difficult to comply with their loan obligations. The combination of these factors has exerted downward pressure on our fee income, the volume of our interest-earning assets and our net interest income.

The provision for credit losses on loans of $627 thousand was partially offset by a $10 thousand reversal of credit losses on off-balance sheet exposure. The provision for credit losses on loans of $627 thousand was primarily due to a $634 thousand increase in the qualitative reserve. The quantitative reserve was unchanged from the prior quarter. The increase in the qualitative reserve was primarily due to weakening economic and business conditions, increasing criticized loans, and declining collateral values for collateral dependent CRE loans for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The increase in the quantitative reserve was primarily due to the increase in the life of home mortgage loans because of the slower prepayment rate based on the 2-year look back period. The decrease in the qualitative reserve was due to improvements in various asset quality metrics and improving economic and business conditions compared to those metrics and conditions as of December 31, 2023.
