"In the first quarter, our loan growth was $200 million, or 8% annualized, while we reduced our time deposits by $238 million. As a result, our net interest income increased by 16.4% compared to the first quarter of 2015," commented Dunson Cheng, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and President of the Company.

FIRST QUARTER INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, was $46.2 million, an increase of $10.2 million, or 28.3%, compared to net income of $36.0 million for the same quarter a year ago. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, was $0.57 compared to $0.45 for the same quarter a year ago.
Return on average stockholders' equity was 10.66% and return on average assets was 1.43% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to a return on average stockholders' equity of 8.97% and a return on average assets of 1.30% for the same quarter a year ago.
Net interest income before provision for credit losses
Net interest income before provision for credit losses increased $14.5 million, or 16.4%, to $102.4 million during the first quarter of 2016 compared to $87.9 million during the same quarter a year ago. The increase was due primarily to the increase in interest income from loans and investment securities, offset by the increase in interest expense from time deposits.
The net interest margin was 3.42% for the first quarter of 2016 compared to 3.41% for the first quarter of 2015. The increase in the net interest margin was due to the impact from the increase in loans. The net interest margin increased to 3.42% for the first quarter of 2016 from 3.30% for the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to higher interest recoveries and lower excess cash balances.
For the first quarter of 2016, the yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.09%, the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities was 0.89%, and the cost of interest bearing deposits was 0.69%. In comparison, for the first quarter of 2015, the yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.08%, the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities was 0.88%, and the cost of interest bearing deposits was 0.65%. The net interest spread, defined as the difference between the yield on average interest-earning assets and the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities, was 3.20% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to 3.20% for the same quarter a year ago.
Provision for credit losses
Provision for credit losses was a credit of $10.5 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to a credit of $5.0 million for the first quarter of 2015. The provision for credit losses was based on the review of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2016. The provision or reversal for credit losses represents the charge against or benefit toward current earnings that is determined by management, through a credit review process, as the amount needed to establish an allowance that management believes to be sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio, including unfunded commitments. The following table summarizes the charge-offs and recoveries for the periods indicated:

Non-interest income
Non-interest income, which includes revenues from depository service fees, letters of credit commissions, securities gains (losses), gains (losses) on loan sales, wire transfer fees, and other sources of fee income, was $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 11.8%, compared to $8.5 million for the first quarter of 2015.
Non-interest expense
Non-interest expense increased $7.5 million, or 16.9%, to $51.6 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $44.1 million in the same quarter a year ago. The increase in non-interest expense in the first quarter of 2016 was primarily due to increases of $4.3 million in salaries and bonus expense, $1.0 million in professional services expenses, and $0.9 million in other operating expenses. The efficiency ratio was 46.92% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 45.74% for the same quarter a year ago.
Income taxes
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2016 was 32.9% compared to 37.3% for the first quarter of 2015. The effective tax rate includes the impact of the utilization of low income housing tax credits and alternative energy tax credits. During the first quarter of 2016, income tax expense included $3.3 million for the write-off of deferred tax assets related to stock options that expired unexercised during the quarter.
BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Troubled debt restructurings on accrual status totaled $90.2 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $81.7 million at December 31, 2015. These loans are classified as troubled debt restructurings as a result of granting a concession to borrowers. Although these loan modifications are considered troubled debt restructurings under Accounting Standard Codification 310-40 and Accounting Standard Update 2011-02, these loans have demonstrated sustained performance under the modified terms. The sustained performance considered by management includes the periods prior to the modification if the prior performance met or exceeded the modified terms as well as cash paid to set up interest reserves.
The ratio of non-performing assets, excluding non-accrual loans held for sale, to total assets was 0.5% at March 31, 2016, compared to 0.6% at December 31, 2015. Total non-performing assets decreased $4.9 million, or 6.4%, to $71.9 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $76.8 million at December 31, 2015, primarily due to a $7.5 million, or 14.4%, decrease in non-accrual loans offset by a $2.6 million increase in other real estate owned.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY REVIEW
At March 31, 2016, the Company's common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.60%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.67%, total risk-based capital ratio of 14.93%, and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 11.73%, calculated under the new Basel III capital rules that became effective January 1, 2015, continue to place the Company in the "well capitalized" category for regulatory purposes, which is defined as institutions with a common equity tier 1 capital ratio equal to or greater than 6.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 8%, a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10%, and a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio equal to or greater than 5%. At December 31, 2015, the Company's common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.95%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 14.03%, total risk-based capital ratio was 15.30%, and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 11.95%.
