John I. Jelavich, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, aArguably, the quarter ending June 30, 2011 represents the Banka™s best overall financial performance since inception five years ago. By most all measures, we continue to make significant positive progress. Basic Earnings per Share and Diluted Earnings per Share of $.21 and $.20 respectively are all time bests. Book Value of $10.14 per share showed a significant increase from the $9.59 reported at March 31, 2011. Capital and liquidity levels remain strong. Our remarkable core deposit growth of 35%, year over year, reflects a total team effort and a strong indicator that we continue to build significant market share.a

aWe continue to execute in line with our strategic objectives. During the past year we have added depth and strength to our management team and we also continue to improve our technology platform with enhancements and new products. Despite the additional expense associated with the above we continue to operate efficiently; the Banka™s Efficiency Ratio of 59% continues at, or near the best of our peer group. We are building a bigger and stronger bank every step of the way and are becoming a major force in our market place. We remain concerned with the pace of the economic recovery, but at the same time, we are positioned for a bright future,a Jelavich concluded.
