Commenting on the year-end operating results, President and Chief Executive Officer Ron Geib said, "Despite the current economic conditions our country is encountering, we are very pleased with the growth we have experienced this past year - in loans, deposits, earnings, and the cash dividend. We believe the current level of our allowance for credit losses is adequate and we continue to maintain a strong capital position in excess of the well-capitalized regulatory guidelines. 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."

The Company's assets totaled $830.0 million compared to $825.7 million a year ago. Stockholders' book value increased to $13.82 per share from $13.23 a year ago.
