Jeffrey M. Harp, President, stated, "We are pleased with and thankful for our bank's performance in light of the current economic conditions and the precarious position of many financial institutions in the U.S. Loan quality, asset growth, and expense control are the key drivers of this consistent growth in net income. In a day when many banks are fighting for their existence because of bad loan decisions, we are fortunate that we have yet to have one loan loss or one non-performing loan since the opening of our bank in May of 2003. These results are really a reflection of the quality of our customer base, our philosophy of banking, and the efforts of the Trinity Bank staff."
