"Our results for the first quarter of 2025 were adversely affected by the provision for credit losses due to one borrower experiencing financial difficulty resulting in the loan changing to a non-accrual status. The increase in the provision is the result of the loss provision for the loan, although we are working with the borrower for a healthier resolution."
"Furthermore, our first quarter financial results were negatively impacted by our investments in people over the past twelve months to support our operational capabilities to professionally manage our business, improve our control environment, improve our efficiency, and promote our continued growth."
"We are optimistic in our ability to execute our strategic goals and mission objectives, grow and improve profitability while remaining focused on serving low-to-moderate income communities."
"I wish to thank our employees, stockholders, and depositors for their continued support to our mission. Your efforts and financial support are fundamental to our ability to expand, serve, and support our communities, customers, and broader stakeholders."
