During June 2022, total assets increased by $76 million to $464.6 million compared to $388.6 million in the prior month. The net change in total assets was mostly driven by $26.3 million increase in cash and investments, plus a $49.2 million increase in loans.

Moishe Gubin, Chairman comments: “We are proud to be recognized this year as one of the top commercial bank lenders in the country with asset size ranging from $300M to $1B. Additionally, we accomplished year-to-date loan closings of $135,495,405 and continue to have a growing and robust pipeline of lending opportunities month after month. With a seasoned management team and staff in place we are closing loans in a timely manner with superior customer service contributing to our strong performance in the second quarter. Our expectations are for continued momentum over many successive quarters initially leading to approximately $500M in assets during the third quarter of this year. Additionally, we believe we will exceed $9MM in net income before provision expense and tax by the end of the year.

Especially rewarding is that over 12% of our loan portfolio is concentrated in supporting healthcare, schools and religious institutions in our communities. We will continue our efforts to increase our lending support to these borrowers as we grow.”
