"During the fourth quarter we dealt with three loans that had shown gradual deterioration as 2016 progressed, but experienced an impairment triggering event in the fourth quarter of 2016, and two loans that had unexpected credit deterioration, during the quarter," stated president and chief executive officer, Charles N. Funk. "We addressed the situation by increasing the loan loss provision in the fourth quarter. As 2017 begins, we have put 2016 behind us and look forward to better financial results in the new year."
