As we’ve reviewed mid-year numbers, I’m pleased to report Goldenwest is on track for a successful 2012. Our loan portfolio has increased 6.2%, or $14 million, year-to-date. June was our second highest month ever for mortgage origination, with $25 million in the secondary market mortgage loans. Assets grew by 5.6% to $800.8 million. Net income increased $5.5 million during the first six months, equating to a 1.39% return on assets.
