Patrick J. Meyer, Chairman of the Board, commented, As the financial services industry grapples with the toughest economic conditions in decades, it is startling to observe how the stock price and market capital of many community banks have declined. 1st Centennial Bank has a great management team and a long history of excellent performance, but we have not been spared from the harsh economic climate facing the Inland Empire. However, we are confident that this current cycle will pass, and that 1st Centennial Bank, having the fundamentals of a great banking franchise, will bounce back with renewed vigor.
