“Another quarter over quarter decline in nonperforming assets continues a trend found in 2011 and reflects our ongoing hard work and progress,” continued Skoglund. “Local and national economies continue to improve slowly and in an uncertain manner, but we will find more and better opportunities to provide outstanding service to our customers and to return our organization to profitability as our local markets stabilize,” he said.
