QUARTERLY REPORT
Dear Shareholder:
Although year-to-date net income of $7.242 million is down a disappointing 22% compared to last year, there are reasons for optimism. The interest margin increased 5.7%, with most of the year-over-year improvement occurring in the third quarter. Improvements in loan quality have allowed us to reduce our provision for loan losses and thus our interest margin after provision for loan losses is up 6.8%. Other income is up 28.4% due in large part to growth in Trust & Financial Management Group (T&FMG) revenue. As of quarter end, trust assets under management increased 38%, by $188.2 million. The merger with Citizens Trust Company (CTC) accounts for 54% of the increase, and the rest is due to investment returns and new business. Strategically, we have invested in growing the T&FMG to increase our revenues from noninterest business activities. The strategy is beginning to yield the hoped for results.
Last year, we were able to substantially supplement revenues through the third quarter with $4.25 million in gains on sold securities, while this year we have a net pre-tax loss of $79 thousand on sales over the same period. Other expenses have increased 7.1% with a large portion of the increase due to the addition of CTC and to one-time merger related expenses.
Given the significant challenges facing community banking, management has adopted cost reduction and revenue enhancement initiatives. As part of those initiatives, fulltime equivalent staffing is being reduced by 9.75% during the last half of 2007. Other cost cutting measures and revenue enhancing initiatives are in various stages of implementation.
To help our business customers save time and money, we are aggressively marketing cutting edge remote deposit capture that allows customers to transmit images of their checks for deposit via the Internet. All of our branches are now using a similar technology to transmit their transaction tickets and checks to our processing center, thus saving us time and money; and allowing us to extend our branch cutoff times to 4:30 P.M. We thank you for your continued support.
