Frank Bell, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, I am very pleased with the dedication and hard work of our officers and staff during these challenging times. Our Company is not involved in the sub-prime market, so we are not directly experiencing any of the negative returns associated with that business. Our loan portfolio continues to perform well and the Bank continues to be ‘well capitalised,’ the highest regulatory capital level.”
