Comparative analysis with the previous year reveals consistent growth. Interest income increased to $17,885,742 from $15,927,961, while maintaining controlled interest expenses. The bank's strategic approach to managing non-interest expenses and maintaining a balanced income stream contributed to its positive financial outcomes.
