Ron Geib, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, aGiven todayas economic and interest rate environment, we are pleased with the solid financial results of the quarter and look forward to another year of creating value for our stakeholders. Despite the lack of growth in assets, we were able to increase the net interest income by reducing the funding cost of the liabilities. We continue to remain focused on increasing core deposit relationships and reducing the amount of advances as they mature. This strategy has allowed our net interest rate spread to increase every quarter this past year from 1.98% a year ago to 2.33% for the current period. Reducing our funding costs while maintaining a portfolio of quality loans and investments should allow us to deliver consistent, ongoing returns for our shareholders. Combining the prudent management of the balance sheet with a highly engaged team of employees is a great beginning to our 25th year as a public company.a
The Companyas assets totaled $832.6 million compared to $856.7 million a year ago and stockholdersa tangible book value increased to $15.39 per share from $14.63 a year ago.
