Risks
• Under the circumstance of rising federal funds rate, saving
rates are higher while loan demands are lower, which will
negatively affect the operations
• Improvements in unemployment have lagged and remained at
an elevated level of 7.5% at December 2013 for the New York
City region
• Position is illiquid – unnecessary risk if the worst should
happen (own 10,200 shares-12% of daily average volume)

Current Price & Market Cap: As of Tue 06/17/2014 12:48 PM

We have a particular concentration in the Asian communities- among them Chinese and Korean populations. Both groups are noted for high levels of savings, education and entrepreneurship.
Our focus on the Asian community in Queens, where we have four branches, has resulted in us obtaining approximately $400 million in deposits in these branches. We also have over $400 million of loans and lines of credit outstanding to borrowers in the Asian community.
