Commenting on the quarter-end operating results, President and Chief Executive Officer Ron Geib stated, “The low level of interest rates continues to provide a unique challenge for the financial industry. Despite this environment, our Team was able to increase our total loans, checking and savings accounts, and the interest rate spread over the prior quarter and prior year amounts. In addition, the level of non-performing loans and other expenses are closely monitored and are the key to allowing us to deliver consistent, ongoing returns for our shareholders.”
