The Return on Average Equity and Return on Average Assets as of December 31, 2006 were 19.54% and 1.49%, respectively, compared to 16.77% and 1.22%, for the same period in 2005, respectively. The increases in Return on Average Equity and Return on Average Assets are attributed to our record earnings, which resulted from an increase in average earning assets, primarily in our total gross loans.

The growth in assets, loans, and deposits was due to the continued success of our business development efforts in and around the marketplaces we serve. The increase in earnings is due to strong loan demand in the market sectors we serve.

Thomas E. Vessey, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Management is again proud to report record earnings and significant asset growth. 2007 brings the challenge of maintaining and growing our core deposit base to support anticipated loan demand.
