“In a year of the most challenging financial environment since the great financial crisis, I am proud of the way we have immediately responded to the needs of our valued customers by modifying their loans proactively at the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, and originating more than 1,600 PPP loans totaling $140 million. We have successfully managed to end the year stronger by delivering a solid fourth quarter net income of $5.8 million, or $0.38 per diluted common share. We have also continuously elevated our allowance coverage ratio to 1.67% in spite of reducing modified loans under the CARES Act to $36.1 million, or 2.5% of our loan balance (excluding SBA PPP loans), and maintaining a solid credit portfolio where nonperforming assets were 0.24% of total assets at year-end,” commented Henry Kim, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“As a result of reduction in the cost of our deposits and gradual reduction of our excess liquidity that was accumulated at the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, our net interest margin expanded to 3.64% in the fourth quarter compared with 3.43% in the third quarter.”

“Looking ahead, with additional government economic assistance programs and a wider distribution of the vaccines, I am confident that our solid balance sheet combined with strong capital levels that is complemented by our robust allowance coverage ratio will safely lead our institution pass this unprecedented period and deliver even more value to our shareholders.”

COVID-19 Pandemic

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and governmental and societal responses thereto, have had a severe impact on recent global economic and market conditions, including significant disruption of, and volatility in, financial markets; global supply chain disruptions; and the institution of social distancing and shelter-in-place requirements that have resulted in temporary closures of many businesses, lost revenues, and increased unemployment throughout the U.S., but also specifically in California, where most of the Company’s operations and a large majority of its customers are located.

Since the beginning of the crisis, the Company has taken a number of steps to protect the safety of its employees and to support its customers. The Company has enabled its staff to work remotely and established safety measures within its bank premises and branches for both employees and customers.

In order to support its customers, the Company has been in close contact with its customers, assessing the level of impact on their businesses, and putting a process in place to evaluate each client’s specific situation and provide relief programs where appropriate. SBA PPP loans totaled $135.7 million (1,585 loans) and loans under modified terms related to the COVID-19 pandemic totaled $36.1 million (39 loan customers) as of December 31, 2020. During the current quarter, the Company received SBA PPP forgiveness of $1.8 million for 57 SBA PPP loans. On January 13, 2021, SBA began accepting applications for second draw PPP loans. The Company is accepting applications and will continue to receive applications as long as funding remains available.

In addition, the Company has been monitoring its liquidity and capital closely. As of December 31, 2020, the Company maintained $194.1 million, or 10.1% of total assets, of cash and cash equivalents and $526.1 million, or 27.4% of total assets, of available borrowing capacity. All regulatory capital ratios were also well above the regulatory well capitalized requirements as of December 31, 2020, while establishing provision for loan losses of $13.2 million for the current year.

At this time, the Company cannot estimate the long term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but these conditions impacted and are expected to impact its business, results of operations, and financial condition negatively.

Total funding is the sum of interest-bearing liabilities and noninterest-bearing deposits. The cost of total funding is calculated as annualized total interest expense divided by average total funding.

Loans. The decrease in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to a decrease in net amortization of deferred loan fees and lower interest rates on new loans, partially offset by an increase in net accretion of discount from an increase in loan payoffs. The decreases in average yield for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2019 were primarily due to the lower market rates, the low interest rate on SBA PPP loans, and a decrease in net accretion of discount, partially offset by an increase in net amortization of deferred fees on SBA PPP loans. The increase in average balance for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to an increase in commercial property loans. The increases in average balance for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2019 were primarily due to the SBA PPP loan production as well as an increase in commercial property loans.

The following table presents a composition of total loans by interest rate type accompanied with the weighted-average contractual rates as of the dates indicated:

		12/31/2020						9/30/2020						12/31/2019
		% to Total Loans			Weighted- Average Contractual Rate			% to Total Loans			Weighted- Average Contractual Rate			% to Total Loans			Weighted- Average Contractual Rate
Fixed rate loans		31.7	%		3.86	%		32.0	%		3.92	%		20.6	%		5.34	%
Hybrid rate loans		20.8	%		4.82	%		20.8	%		4.93	%		22.8	%		5.07	%
Variable rate loans		47.5	%		4.06	%		47.2	%		4.10	%		56.6	%		5.51	%

Investment Securities. The decrease in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to new investment securities purchased at lower market rates and an increase in premium amortization on mortgage backed securities. The decreases in average yield for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2019 were primarily due to the new investment securities purchased, as well as sales of securities available-for-sale of $32.8 million with a weighted-average book yield of 3.02% during the fourth quarter of 2019. During the current quarter and year, the Company purchased investment securities of $2.7 million and $39.4 million, respectively.

Other Interest-Earning Assets. The increase in average yield for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to a decrease in proportion of interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions that had an average yield of 0.10%. The decreases in average yield for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2019 were primarily due to the lower market rates. The increases in average balance for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2019 were primarily due to increases in deposits and other borrowings during the current quarter and year as the Company maintains most of its cash at the Federal Reserve Bank account. For additional detail, please see the discussion for the current quarter in “Deposits” under the “Balance Sheet” discussion.

Interest-Bearing Deposits. The decreases in average cost for the current quarter and year were primarily due to the continuing decreases in market rates.

Borrowings. The increase in average cost for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to matured borrowings with lower interest rates during the current quarter. During the current quarter, FHLB advances of $50.0 million with a weighted-average rate of 0.26% matured. During the current year, the Company maintained a higher balance of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances as a part of the Company’s liquidity management plan. At December 31, 2020, the Company had a total outstanding FHLB advances of $80.0 million with a weighted-average rate of 0.67%.

Provision for Loan Losses

Provision for loan losses was $2.1 million for the current quarter compared with $4.3 million for the previous quarter and $4.0 million for the year-ago quarter. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, provision for loan losses was $13.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively. The provision for the current quarter was primarily due to increases in special mention and classified loans as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The provision for the current year was primarily driven by the increase in risks associated with economic and business conditions, as well as the increases in special mention and classified loans, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company recorded net charge-offs of $178 thousand for the current quarter compared with $28 thousand for the previous quarter and $2.7 million for the year-ago quarter. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $1.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

Salaries and Employee Benefits. The increases for the current quarter compared with the previous and year-ago quarters were primarily due to increases in bonus accrual and other employee benefits. The increase for the current year compared with the previous year was primarily due to increases in wages, other employee benefits and vacation accrual, partially offset by direct loan origination costs of $1.1 million related to SBA PPP loan production and a decrease in bonus accrual.

Professional Fees. The increase for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to an increased other professional fees as a part of the year-end processes. The decrease for the current year compared with the previous year was primarily due to a decrease in expenses related to the Bank’s Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering (“BSA/AML”) compliance enhancements. The consent order with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (“CDFPI”) related to the BSA/AML compliance was terminated during the previous quarter.

Marketing and business promotion. The increase for the current quarter compared with the previous quarter was primarily due to the year-end promotion and an increase in advertisement. The decreases for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2019 were primarily due to fewer marketing activities related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Regulatory Assessments. The increases for the current quarter and year compared with the same periods of 2019 were primarily due to a small bank credit received from the FDIC during the year-ago quarter and previous year, as well as an increase in balance sheet. The Company would have recognized regulatory assessments expense of $242 thousand and $895 thousand without the small bank credit for the year-ago quarter and previous year, respectively.

Balance Sheet (Unaudited)

Total assets were $1.92 billion at December 31, 2020, a decrease of $98.3 million, or 4.9%, from $2.02 billion at September 30, 2020, but an increase of $176.5 million, or 10.1%, from $1.75 billion at December 31, 2019. The decrease for the current quarter was primarily due to decreases in cash and cash equivalents, loans held-for-sale and investment securities. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents for the current quarter was primarily due to decreases in deposits and other borrowings, partially offset by cash proceeds from sales of loans held-for-sale and paydowns from investment securities. The increase for the current year was primarily due to increases in loans held-for-investment and cash and cash equivalents. The increase in cash and cash equivalents for the current year was primarily due to increases in deposits and other borrowings, partially offset by cash utilized to support the loan growth.

The increases in special mention and classified loans were primarily due to downgrades of loans under modified terms related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Loans that are granted modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic in excess of 6 months, on a cumulative basis, are classified as special mention or classified. As of December 31, 2020, special mention and classified loans included $14.9 million and $1.9 million of loans under modified terms related to the COVID-19 pandemic, respectively. The special mention loans under modified terms related to the COVID-19 pandemic included 2 commercial property loans totaling $10.3 million, 4 commercial term loans totaling $4.4 million, and a SBA property loan of $251 thousand. The classified loans under modified terms related to the COVID-19 pandemic included 2 commercial term loans totaling $1.2 million, a commercial property loan of $706 thousand, and a SBA commercial term loan of $72 thousand.

Loan Modifications Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic

The Company provided modifications, including interest only payments or payment deferrals, to customers that were adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The loan modifications met all criteria under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). Therefore, the modified loans were not considered TDRs. Total loans under modified terms related to the COVID-19 pandemic were $36.1 million at December 31, 2020, a decrease of $135.5 million, or 79.0%, from $171.6 million at September 30, 2020 and a decrease of $447.9 million, or 92.5%, from $484.0 million at June 30, 2020.

Investment Securities

On June 30, 2020, the Company transferred securities held-to-maturity to securities available-for-sale as a part of the Company’s liquidity management plan in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company transferred all of securities held-to-maturity of $18.8 million to securities available-for-sale, which resulted in a pre-tax increase to accumulated other comprehensive income of $787 thousand.

Total investment securities were $120.5 million at December 31, 2020, a decrease of $8.5 million, or 6.6%, from $129.0 million at September 30, 2020, but an increase of $2.8 million, or 2.4%, from $117.7 million at December 31, 2019.

The decrease for the current quarter was primarily due to principal pay-downs and calls of $10.9 million and net premium amortization of $282 thousand, partially offset by purchases of $2.7 million. The increase for the current year was primarily due to purchases of $39.4 million and an increase in fair value of securities available-for-sale of $2.8 million, partially offset by principal pay-downs and calls of $38.5 million and net premium amortization of $938 thousand.

The increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits for the current year was primarily due to the overall liquid deposit market. A total of $117.9 million of SBA PPP loans were funded through the Bank's noninterest-bearing demand deposits and deposit customers also received $93.5 million of SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans during the past 9-month period; however, the Company believes that most of these funds have been utilized by the customers as of December 31, 2020.

The decrease in retail time deposits for the current quarter was primarily due to matured and closed accounts of $124.0 million, partially offset by new accounts of $23.2 million and renewals of the matured accounts of $86.6 million. The decrease in retail time deposits for the current year was primarily due to matured and closed accounts of $639.5 million, partially offset by new accounts of $97.0 million and renewals of the matured accounts of $391.7 million.

Capital Ratios

Based on changes to the Federal Reserve’s definition of a “Small Bank Holding Company” that increased the threshold to $3 billion in assets in August 2018, the Company is not currently subject to separate minimum capital measurements. At such time as the Company reaches the $3 billion asset level, it will again be subject to capital measurements independent of the Bank. For comparison purposes, the Company’s ratios are included in following discussion. The following table presents capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of dates indicated:
