-

compared to 2.65% as of June 30, 2011
Laurie Stewart, President and CEO, said “The Bank continues to maintain
a strong Net Interest Margin in spite of the continuing low rate
environment. As a result of historically low rates, mortgage loan
originations for the quarter exceeded $20 million which led to over
$300,000 in gain on sale of loans to Fannie Mae.” Stewart also commented
on the Bank’s reduction in losses and expenses related to other real
estate owned, stating “The decrease in expenses related to foreclosed
properties indicates that housing prices appear to be stabilizing in our
markets.”
