The decrease in 2008 net income before taxes when compared to 2007 is primarily the result of the following: a $86,000 decline in net interest income before loan loss provisions, a $2.40 million increase in loan loss provisions, a $326,000 increase in losses on the sale of repossessed assets, $115,000 of expenses related to a data breach reported mid-year, and an increase of $85,000 in operating expense.
Thomas H. Siemers, President and CEO, stated, "There is no doubt that the unusual conditions that have affected the financial services industry have been a challenge, however, we continue to be well capitalized and are focusing on growing our deposits and expanding our consumer loan portfolio with quality credit. Our emphasis continues to be on local lending for homes and small businesses."
Board Declares Dividend Cut
Based on 2008 EPS and in light of continued economic uncertainty in the global economy, the Board of Directors of the Company, at their February 23, 2009 meeting, declared no quarterly cash dividend for the first quarter of 2009. Commenting on the dividend action, Mr. Siemers stated, "The decision to suspend the quarterly cash dividend is based on our desire to retain capital during this challenging economic environment."
