A reclassification of deferred interest payment resulted in a one-time after-tax earning boost of $0.08 per share for the quarter.
"Our loan growth has been strong," stated Little. "In nine months, we've originated $185.7 million in total loans," said Little. "That's 6.5% more than our record-breaking loan production last year. It's a great testimony to our loan department and our local economy."

On May 23, 2013, the Board of Directors declared a $0.37 per share quarterly dividend.
Interest income increased in the quarter ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the linked quarter, primarily due to reclassification of deferred interest payments of approximately $260,000 on some previously classified non-accrual loans that are now either current or less than 90 days delinquent.
Net interest margin amounted to 4.01% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to 4.06% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates on loan originations during the last twelve months.
