Allan W. Arendsee, Chairman of the Board, stated, "The Board of Directors continues to be very proud of our team for consistently focusing on adding long-term shareholder value. The Board is firmly committed to ensuring the bank operates in a safe and sound manner, and with a strategy that will provide shareholders with a superior return on their investment over the long run. The Board is also very pleased that we have started to return more than just stock appreciation to shareholders, having declared and paid out our first cash dividend. We move forward continuing to focus on the same successful plan." Arendsee concluded.

Richard M. Sanborn, President & Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We continue to focus on fundamentals and on being consistent. Our business plan has not wavered in the last seven years and our results show why. We are confident we have the right plan in place to continue our performance in a safe and sound manner, while producing a return for our shareholders that exceeds our peers. Having said that, we are mindful of the geopolitical and geo-economic conditions in the U.S. and abroad, and watch what's happening closely. At the end of the day we are in the business of collecting deposits, lending out money, and managing risk. Providing loans to small businesses where we take hard, physical collateral, in the form of owner-occupied commercial real estate, while also obtaining a U.S. Government backed guarantee from the Small Business Administration, is simply a lower risk model versus not taking collateral or having a guarantee. From a financial perspective, our strong return on equity provides capital to support our growth, and allows us to help more small businesses get the financing they need to hire more employees, grow their businesses, and expand our economy. As small businesses are the backbone of our Country, we are glad we can help them do just that."
