Ralph J. Lober, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “quarter and year-to-date results reflect market share increases achieved over the last few years. We have successfully absorbed the costs of additional regulatory directives and we believe that recent investments in business development activities and in our facilities will help the Bank offset income opportunities lost to these regulatory policies. We continue to attract new personal, small business and agricultural customers. Cautious growth has provided consistent results.”

Assets at December 31, 2010 totaled $277.1 million, an increase of $13.7 million from June 30, 2010.  From June 30, 2010, total securities increased by $10.3 million, loans increased $2.4 million and deposits increased $13.2 million.

The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans at December 31, 2010 was 1.28% and 1.30% at December 31, 2009. “As the economic recovery progresses at a slow pace, we continue to closely monitor our loan and investment portfolio and believe that, based on recent information, the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to meet probable incurred losses,” commented Lober.
