Message to Shareholders
Shareholder Update
February 15, 2007
Dear Shareholders and Friends:
We are pleased to report that 2006 was another year of significant growth and progress for your Company. As of year-end 2006.
total assets reached $359 million, up 20.1% over year-end 2005, marking two consecutive years of 20% plus growth;
total outstanding loans grew to $244 million, up 23.5%;
total deposits reached $240 million, up 20.6%; and
net annual income was $3,152,806, up 12.8% over 2005; and, earnings per common diluted share were $1.25, up
11.6%.
As previously reported, the Board of Directors in late 2004 adopted a five year strategic growth plan which set an ambitious goal of almost doubling the assets of Greer State Bank in five years. At year-end 2004, the Bank’s assets totaled $231 million. The Bank’s goal is to reach $425 million in total assets by year-end 2009. We believe this asset growth will enhance the Bank’s ability to achieve excellent financial performance, risk management, and return on investment for our shareholders.
We are very pleased to report thatas of December 31, 2006. Greer State Bank has achieved in two years 66% of its five-year, strategic growth goal for asset growth. We believe this puts the five-year goal well within reach over the next three years.
We are also gratified to report that the Taylors Office of Greer State Bank, which opened in August of 2005, has now reached $25 million in assets, well ahead of our initial projections. We anticipate this office will continue to perform well and enable the Bank to extend its service reach within the Taylors community.
In summary, we believe 2006 was another successful year. Your Company continued its strong growth rate while investing heavily in its future and delivering a 14.9% return on average equity.
Finally, thank you for your interest in Greer Bancshares Incorporated. We welcome your comments for improving your Company and our communications with you.
Respectfully,
