"We are very pleased with our strong financial performance in the first quarter of 2018.

This loan portfolio growth occurred while the bank maintained impressive credit quality in the portfolio with no net charge offs in the first quarter," said Laurence S. Bolchoz, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank. "We continue to develop new relationships in our existing markets, and we are excited about the positive impact that our new Greenville full service branch location will have on our bank. We have added a full team of commercial and retail bankers in both our Greenville and Columbia markets and we look forward to their contributions to our bank's performance. In the first quarter, we added a new commercial deposit product which will provide our commercial depositors with added benefits and convenience. We also continue to see an increase in construction loan demand in all of our markets, which has spurred increased mortgage loan production," Bolchoz said.
