Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the sustainability of the 16.73% increase in non-interest income to offset rising operating expenses.
- Monitor the trend in net charge-offs, which tripled year-over-year, and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses relative to the 0.96% coverage ratio.
- Review the composition of the $8.51 million increase in securities to understand the shift in asset allocation away from loans.
- Confirm the impact of the new quarterly dividend policy on future cash flow and retained earnings.
- Assess the status of the $840,644 in nonaccrual loans and the $302,279 in potential problem loans.
