Oak Ridge Financial Services President, Ron Black, in commenting on the results, noted, "Given the difficult economic environment, we are pleased with our profitability in the first quarter of 2009. During the first quarter our primary focus was servicing our loan portfolio, and although our level of nonperforming assets increased from December 2008, we believe that our efforts will pay off in subsequent quarters. Our primary areas of focus for the rest of 2009 will be continuing to service our loan portfolio and growing net interest income and noninterest income by providing extraordinary service to existing and prospective clients. We plan to continue to support our local economy by taking deposits, making loans, and providing financial advice for our clients in these difficult times. The community was incredibly supportive of our Bank in the first quarter and we had significant increases in loans, deposits and noninterest income. Lastly, at March 31, 2009 we were well-capitalized with ample capital for future growth. "
