President Robert H. Gaughen, Jr. stated, “We’re pleased to report continued growth and consistent strength as our quarterly earnings represent a 22% increase over the same period last year and our earnings for the nine months ending September 30, 2009 represent a 29% increase over the same period in 2008. These results are after a significant provision for loan losses of $400,000 during the third quarter for a total of $1.4 million for the first nine months of 2009. At September 30, 2009, non-performing assets totaled 1.35% of total assets, down from 1.51% reported at June 30, 2009. Continued increases in our net interest margin along with diligent cost control have produced real bottom line improvements and have helped offset additional provisions for loan losses at a time when markets are uncertain. Our goal remains to vigorously manage asset quality, effectively control costs and protect our earnings.”
