This was the Bank’s second straight quarter of net income over $9 million and the most profitable six months in company history, which helped to produce a 2.08% return on assets for the year. Our results reflect consistent performance from our recreation and home improvement lending segments, as we continue to liquidate the remaining medallion loan portfolio. With the $46 million preferred stock offering successfully completed in December, and now with more than $229 million of equity, we are positioned for prudent asset growth.”
