Joseph B. Reilly, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Given market opportunity, the Bank recognized gains in its investment portfolio, further strengthening its capital position. Excluding these gains, income from operations was still very strong. Economic conditions have shown improvement in the first quarter 2010 compared to the previous year, and we were able to maximize our earnings by managing net interest margin and maintaining tight control on expenses.”
