Net profit for the quarter grew 10.2% to $7.32 million, bringing the annual increase to 11.9% at $31.3 million. The December quarter increase had been just 6.4%. The bank has increased its profit in each of the past 19 years.
The bank's deposit base grew 10% to $2.36 billion over the year while total assets rose 11% to $2.6 billion.
