As a result of our 2020 earnings, we were able to prepay all long-term debt at the bank and proactively increase the allowance for loan losses as we monitor economic conditions going into 2021.  Additionally, the Company maintained better than peer credit quality metrics, a reflection of the strength of our loan portfolio.  We are very pleased with the early results from our expansion into Paulding County, along with, the successful adoption of technologies such as ITMs and cash recyclers that increase efficiencies, enhance operational accuracy, and enable our greatest assets, our team members, to focus on customer needs and relationships.  We remain unwavering in the promotion of our core values throughout our processes.  The continued accomplishments of the Company are the undeniable result of our dedicated team members and our Board of Directors in implementing our Strategic Plan. Their efforts and our strong corporate values of respect for and accountability to our shareholders, clients, colleagues, and communities are the foundation for our continued success.”
