QUARTERLY REPORT
December 31, 2007
Dear Shareholder:
As we reflect on the past year, we are excited about new programs, initiatives for product and earnings enhancement and customer service delivery planned for 2008. Although we were not direct participants in the subprime mortgage disaster, we have experienced some indirect effects through the downgrading of some of the insurers of municipal bonds we hold in our portfolio and the market’s general down grading of credits on corporate bonds even when the underlying companies are strong. Those effects are reflected in the $8.4 million drop in the net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities from the end of last year. We and our advisors believe these issues to be temporary and should not present lasting effects to our balance sheet.
We ended the year with an increase in quarterly net income and improved loan quality. During 2007, we completed the Citizens Trust Company merger; and implemented computer conversions for both Citizens Trust and First State Bank. Over the last 4 months of 2007, we had a reduction in force of nearly 10% without degrading our service delivery. We have also implemented several cost saving and revenue enhancement initiatives that should result in significant bottom line improvement for coming years.
During the past year, we upgraded our Internet Banking product, began offering Remote Deposit Capture for our commercial clients saving them time and money, converted all of our offices to remote capture thus reducing the need for two daily courier runs, converted to full Check 21 compliance and began the conversion from expensive frame relay lines to broadband VPN communications for our branch network.
We are certainly not pleased with our annual Return on Average Assets and Return on Average Equity given our historical performance. However, as evidenced by our improved earnings in the 4th quarter of 2007, we have set in place processes to begin bringing our performance numbers back to the high performance levels we have experienced in the past. We believe the long-range prospects for your company to be bright. We have the talented and committed people to make it happen.
