"Our third quarter of 2019 was another successful quarter as we increased earnings 48% over the same period in 2018. If we adjust for the large temporary deposit of approximately $8 million referenced in our second quarter earnings release, we were able to grow deposits by $9.3 million this quarter and grow our assets by $10.5 million in the third quarter. We also achieved $13.2 million in net loan growth in the third quarter as a result of great teamwork by our lending and support teams.

I am also pleased to announce that we have just opened a loan production office in the Spartanburg, South Carolina market to serve the lending needs of this vibrant community. Brian Murdoch, a Spartanburg native and long-time South Carolina commercial banker, is leading our new team in Spartanburg. We are confident that this growing community is an area where our lending team can develop meaningful relationships and have a very positive impact," Bolchoz said.
