Our National Lending Division finished the fiscal year with record purchases with $1.14 billion, including $48.8 million for the quarter. This resulted in net growth in our purchased portfolio of $1.00 billion, or 209.9%, compared with June 30, 2022. In addition to the growth in loan balances, our National Lending Division's combined yield increased to 8.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 7.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Asset quality remains strong, with non-performing assets of 0.55% of total assets, as compared to 0.82% of total assets at June 30, 2022." Mr. Wayne continued, "As a result of the increase in the average balances of our loan portfolio, we are reporting earnings of $1.61 per diluted common share, a return on average equity of 16.7%, and a return on average assets of 1.7% for the quarter."

As of June 30, 2023, total assets were $2.87 billion, an increase of $1.29 billion, or 81.3%, from total assets of $1.58 billion as of June 30, 2022.
