“The bank’s performance to date has been outstanding and the future is very bright. We are located in the hottest market in Nevada and we foresee phenomenal growth in the coming years. Hundreds of small businesses are moving into the area. The bank’s professional staff is well-equipped to capture that market.”

- Leo Durant, Bank Director

In the coming year, we are poised for strong earnings. We have fortified our loan pipeline and increased our leads for deposit growth.

Through consistently thoughtful customer service, we anticipate more business referrals from our existing customer base. Our customers are very confident in doing business with us and are referring their friends and associates our way.

Business growth is occurring in the area around our bank, which is adding to the bank’s name recognition and awareness levels. The bank is financing several large construction projects, which further enhances the bank’s branding.

In 2005, our officers plan to expand involvement in community and nonprofit organizations. We are financing economic development and we want to be an increasing part of the social fabric of our community as well.

Solid, quality growth has been, and will continue to be, our mantra in 2005.

From the beginning, our goal was to be a financially sound and profitable bank. We feel we continue to accomplish that goal. Yet, we all know, the best is yet to come.

Vincent J. Ciminise
President
