Our non-performing loans remained stable at $12.3 million as of September 30, 2011 versus $12.4 million at June 30, 2011. These recent amounts compare favorably to $15.0 million at March 31, 2011, and $15.8 million at December 31, 2010, respectively. Dean Withers, President and CEO, stated "While the economy continues to struggle, we are working diligently and proactively with our customers to mitigate risks within the portfolio, protect our shareholders interests and achieve a favorable outcome for our customers. We believe the recent trend in non-performing loans is evidence of our success in meeting these goals." 
 
Our provision for loan losses totaled $3.1 million for the first nine months of both 2011 and 2010. Our loan loss allowance increased to $6.8 million, or 1.51% of total loans held for investment at September 30, 2011, compared to $5.2 million, or 1.16% of total loans held for investment at September 30, 2010. Mr. Withers commented, "Although we have seen recent improvements in our non-performing loans, we believe it is prudent to continue building our reserves due to the spotty recovery, economic uncertainty and declining real estate values. In spite of the economic uncertainty we are very pleased that our earnings continue to improve, both compared to the second quarter and compared to the prior year. On October 20, 2011, our Board of Directors declared a third quarter dividend of $0.15 per share. The dividend will be paid on November 15, 2011, to shareholders of record as of November 2, 2011." Highlights of the company's financial performance are included below.
