J. Grant Smith, CEO, said, "Our asset quality fundamentals have improved greatly over the past several years and we are now in the growth phase of our strategic plan. The following performance numbers outline very nice growth in both loans and deposits, 9.17% and 11.20%, respectively. While our net interest margin has declined it still remains well above our peer group at 4.41%. The main catalyst for our excellent net interest margin is our core deposit base. Non-interest bearing deposits represents 45.7% of our total deposits. On another positive note, as a result of the closure of two of our facilities earlier this year the use of our mobile banking products is up 36% as more customers are reaching us through our electronic delivery channels. The excellent balance sheet fundamentals when combined a strong net interest margin we believe will continue to enhance our operating performance going forward.”
