Richard M. Sanborn, President & Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to report another consistent quarter of performance with meaningful growth and improvement in all areas. Our focus remains the same; retain more SBA guaranteed portions of the loans we originated; improve our funding (deposit) mix; and maintain excellent credit quality, all of which we continue to do. Our 'hold strategy' is driving our income statement results where we had a 33% increase in year-to-date core net-interest income, before any gain-on-sale of loans income. It has always been our focus to grow our balance sheet with high-quality assets that can provide a consistent, predictable, re-occurring income stream, which we believe will continue to provide shareholders with returns exceeding our peers." Sanborn concluded.
Allan W. Arendsee, Chairman of the Board, stated, "The third quarter of 2015 was again a continuation of the board's plan to focus on consistency and quality, not purely quantity, and to do so in a safe and sound manner. We were very excited to finally surpass two significant benchmarks; exceeding $500 million in assets, and funding more than $1 billion in SBA loans, since the inception of our SBA program in late 2009. The board firmly believes that our strategy will result in greater long-term shareholder value, and with the board and management team all being significant shareholders, we are highly invested in protecting the long-term success of our company." Arendsee concluded.
