Recent Performance
At December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company had assets of $345.1 million and $284.7 million, respectively, gross loans of $251.1 million and $246.0 million, respectively, total deposits of $300.3 million and $239.9 million, respectively and total shareholders’ equity of 28.6 million and $26.3 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 the Company had net income of $2.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
Competition
The Company encounters strong competition both in making loans and in attracting deposits. In one or more aspects of its business, the Company competes with other commercial banks, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage and investment banking companies, financial technology (“fintech”) companies, and other financial intermediaries. Most of these competitors, some of which are affiliated with bank holding companies, have greater resources and lending limits, and may offer certain services that the Company does not currently provide. In addition, many of the Company’s nonbank competitors are not subject to the same level of federal regulation that governs bank holding companies and federally insured banks. Recent federal and state legislation has heightened the competitive environment in which financial institutions must conduct their business, and the potential for competition among financial institutions of all types has increased significantly.
