Tom Travis
President and CEO

Thank you, and welcome to the call this morning. We're very pleased with our quarter. There was a few items of noise in the quarter, specifically the oil and gas, and we reported that three point seven million dollar net gain. However, I think it's important that we all remember that by us making that investment, we also precluded ourselves or eliminated the possibility that we would have had a larger loss when we suffered that loss back in 2023 on the assets. And that's really an important thing to remember. So not only did we recover more as a result of that, but once we recovered all the cash that we had spent for the asset and then we had on top of that a nice return. So management's very pleased and we also accomplished our goal a little quicker than we thought we would. So we're delighted with that outcome and it's important to remember that. And then I think the second thing is that we also have experienced some heavier expenses relative to some internal changes that we're making in the IT area specifically as a result of those material weaknesses that the new accounting firm thought that existed. So we spent considerable time and money doing that. And then in addition to those expenses, we've incurred expenses related to potential M&A activity, and so when you factor out the noise and you look at the recurring results, we're very pleased with those and so we look forward to the rest of the year. We do have some significant loan pay downs that we will need to overcome. That's nothing new. We sometimes experience those but our asset quality has never been better and we're just delighted at the position that we're in with plenty of liquidity and no debt, strong earnings, heavy capital and well positioned for growing the bank and organically and also in the M&A space. So with that said, we're here to answer any questions. Thank you.
