branch locations with an additional branch application underway."

"We anticipate another increase to our quarterly dividend in the first
quarter of 2018 as we seek to align dividend increases with the calendar
year."

income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $11.7 million,

Our strong net income, revenues and net interest income growth were
fueled by continued earning asset growth.

quarter ended September 30, 2016.

and September 30, 2016 were 54.8% and 56.8%, respectively.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest income increased $74 thousand or 10% to $824 thousand for
the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months
ended September 30, 2016. Noninterest income increased $813 thousand or
36% to $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in
noninterest income was primarily driven by income earned from our
additional purchases of Bank Owned Life Insurance and rental income
earned from the headquarters building acquired in the fourth quarter of
2016.

Noninterest expense increased $648 thousand or 9% for the three months
ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September
30, 2016. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in
professional services due to increased fees paid for internal and
external audit, and consulting services and increases in data processing
to support the overall growth of the business.

Noninterest expense increased $2.2 million or 10% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30,
2016. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in salaries and
employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses and professional
services. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was driven by
an increase in full time equivalent employees. Average full time
equivalent employees totaled 132 at September 30, 2017 compared to 124
at September 30, 2016. The increase in occupancy and equipment expenses
was driven by increases in IT related expenses, one time charges
relating to back office consolidation activity and maintenance costs for
our headquarters building acquired in the fourth quarter of 2016. The
increase in professional services was driven by increased fees paid for
internal and external audit, and consulting services to support the
overall growth of the business.

Financial Condition

Assets exceeded $1.8 billion at September 30, 2017, an annualized
increase of 14% compared to assets of $1.6 billion at December 31, 2016.
This increase reflects strong organic loan growth. Total gross loans
exceeded $1.5 billion at September 30, 2017, an annualized increase of

estate loans of $97.6 million and commercial business loans of $56.6

December 31, 2016, an annualized increase of 12% over December 31, 2016.

This press release may contain certain forward-looking statements
about the Company. Forward-looking statements include statements
regarding anticipated future events and can be identified by the fact
that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They
often include words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate,"
"estimate," and "intend" or future or conditional verbs such as "will,"
"would," "should," "could," or "may." Forward-looking statements, by
their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Certain factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected
results include increased competitive pressures, changes in the interest
rate environment, general economic conditions or conditions within the
securities markets, and legislative and regulatory changes that could
adversely affect the business in which the Company and its subsidiaries
are engaged.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to evaluating the Company's financial performance in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"),
management may evaluate certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as the
efficiency ratio. A computation and reconciliation of certain non-GAAP
financial measures used for these purposes is contained in the
accompanying Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures table. We
believe that providing certain non-GAAP financial measures provides
investors with information useful in understanding our financial
performance, our performance trends and financial position. For example,
the Company believes that the efficiency ratio is useful in the
assessment of financial performance, including non-interest expense
control. The Company believes that tangible common equity and tangible
book value per share is useful to evaluate the relative strength of the
Company's capital position. We utilize these measures for internal
planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures
should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and
results, and we strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated
financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single
financial measure.

and amortization of intangible assets, divided by our operating
revenue, which is equal to net interest income plus non-interest
income excluding gains and losses on sales of securities and gains
and losses on other real estate owned. In our judgment, the
adjustments made to operating revenue allow investors and analysts
to better assess our operating expenses in relation to our core
operating revenue by removing the volatility that is associated with
certain one-time items and other discrete items that are unrelated
to our core business.
