Commenting on the Company’s results, Thomas R. Quinn, Jr., President and
CEO, said, “We are very pleased to report record net income, by
quarter, for three sequential quarters and a 17.8% increase in
year-to-date earnings compared to the same period last year.”
“Our capital raise in the first quarter of 2010, which increased capital
by $37.6 million, combined with our ability to generate deposit growth,
allowed us to grow assets 27.4% since September 30, 2009. Our
regulatory capital ratios of 9.5% Tier 1 leverage, 13.7% Tier 1
risk-based, and 14.9% Total risk-based are well above the minimums to be
considered well capitalized, and position the Company to take advantage
of future opportunities.”
Quinn concluded, “Despite a tough banking environment, we have been able
to produce consistent operating results, bolster our reserves and
capital, and continue our efforts in addressing asset quality. This
forward momentum will continue to serve us well during the remainder of
2010 and into 2011.”

have increased $232.9 million, or 118.7%, since December 31, 2009.

2010, down $8.6 million, or 37%, from the high of $23.0 million at March
31, 2010. Improvement was made through the reduction in the level of
non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 or more days and still accruing,
and total delinquency. The Company continues to be diligent in its
handling of nonperforming and other risk assets and has been able to
reduce the level of risk assets from a high of $32.8 million at March
31, 2010, to $20.5 million as of September 30, 2010. Two large credits,
totaling $7.6 million, have been worked off the books since March 2010,
which resulted in a $2.0 million charge off in the second quarter.
Although the Company’s ratio of total risk assets to total assets
increased from 0.96% at December 31, 2009, to 1.39% at September 30,
2010, increases have been noted across the financial services industry
