I am pleased we have navigated the financial crisis and come out a stronger bank. Management will continue to focus on improving earnings and expense control. The low sustained rates are problematic for the industry and regulatory expectations are increasing. We are confident the Bank is in excellent position to return to normal operations, as soon as the economic conditions have stabilized.
