Michael G. Livingston, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The Bank and, as a result, the Company, along with the rest of the financial services industry, have been impacted by the downward pressure on net interest margins caused by the lower interest rates due to steps taken by the Federal Reserve in managing the recovery. We believe we are a sound, conservatively run financial institution, and we have remained profitable and well capitalized through this difficult time without governmental assistance. We have continued to be actively engaged with the communities we serve, providing loans to meet their needs.”
