I am also very proud of the work ethic of our team members and the manner in which they serve our customers. All these conditions combined create a strong community bank that is well positioned to continue to create value for our stakeholders. These results reflect our discipline to our fundamental operating principles of maintaining prudent underwriting standards, investing in high credit quality assets, controlling our operating expenses, and practicing sound capital management."
