Highlights for the year included:
- During the year ended September 30, 2018, our net loan portfolio grew by $49.7 million, or 8.26%. The portfolio growth consisted primarily of growth in commercial real estate, multifamily, commercial and industrial, and single family loans. As a result of this loan growth and the rising interest rate environment, we experienced an increase in total interest and dividend income of $3.8 million, or 15.03%, to $29.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2018 compared to $25.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2017.
- During the year ended September 30, 2018, our deposits increased by $756,000, or 0.11%.

- Net interest income increased $2.3 million, or 10.59%, to $24.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2018 compared to $21.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2017.

- Non-performing assets increased to $5.8 million or 0.71% of total assets, at September 30, 2018, compared to $294,000, or 0.04% of total assets, at September 30, 2017. This increase was the result of one commercial loan relationship totaling $5.6 million becoming non-performing during the year. This commercial loan relationship was paid in full subsequent to September 30, 2018.
- Classified assets increased to $6.8 million, or 0.83% of total assets, at September 30, 2018, compared to $1.9 million, or 0.24% of total assets, at September 30, 2017. This increase was the result of one commercial loan relationship totaling $5.6 million that was classified during the year. This commercial loan relationship was paid in full subsequent to September 30, 2018.
- Loans past due 30-89 days decreased $448,000, or 36.36%, to $527,000, or 0.08% of net loans, at September 30, 2018 from $975,000, or 0.16% of net loans, at September 30, 2017.

- Non-interest income was $5.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2018, compared to $6.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily the result of decreases in each of insurance and securities sales commissions of $148,000, due to the sale of this business in fiscal 2017, and rental income from real estate operations of $106,000, due to the sale of a property in fiscal 2018.
- Non-interest expense was $22.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2018, compared to $22.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily related a decrease in each of valuation adjustments on real estate designated as held for sale of $702,000, occupancy expense of $182,000, and FDIC insurance premiums of $147,000, partially offset by an increase in compensation and employee benefits of $468,000.

Based on our closing share price of $22.00 on September 30, 2018, our price to tangible book value was 104.07% compared to 96.80% on September 30, 2017 based on the closing share price of $19.95 at that date.
Highlights for the fourth quarter include:
- During the three months ended September 30, 2018, our net loan portfolio grew by $13.1 million, or 8.20% annualized growth. Loan growth was the primary driver of an increase in total interest and dividend income of $245,000, or 3.31%, to $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and an increase of $853,000, or 12.6%, compared to $6.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.
- During the three months ended September 30, 2018, our deposits increased by $5.4 million, or 3.20% annualized. Growth in average deposit balances and the rising interest rate environment were the primary causes of the increase in total interest expense of $121,000 or 9.32%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and an increase of $428,000, or 43.19%, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Our net interest margin was 3.23% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 3.26% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 3.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2017.
- Non-performing assets increased to $5.8 million, or 0.71% of total assets, at September 30, 2018, compared to $203,000, or 0.03% of total assets, at June 30, 2018. This increase was the result of one commercial loan relationship totaling $5.6 million becoming non-performing during the quarter. This commercial loan relationship was paid in full subsequent to September 30, 2018.
- Classified assets remained unchanged at $6.8 million, or 0.83% of total assets, at September 30, 2018, compared to $6.8 million, or 0.84% of total assets, at June 30, 2018.
- Loans past due 30-89 days increased $175,000, or 49.72%, to $527,000, or 0.08% of net loans, at September 30, 2018 from $352,000, or 0.06% of net loans, at June 30, 2018.
- Annualized net recoveries were 0.00% of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to net charge-offs of 0.04% of average loans for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and annualized net recoveries of 0.03% of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2017.
- Non-interest income was $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.
- Non-interest expense was $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease compared to the 2017 period is primarily related to the valuation allowance on real estate held for sale which was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2017. This allowance related to a property which was transferred from office properties and equipment to real estate held for sale based on a viable offer to purchase received during the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The property was sold in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.
