Forward guidance

The company anticipates continued improvement in its balance sheet composition throughout the year as it works towards reducing borrowings and high-cost deposits while deploying funds to higher yielding assets. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company has reduced short-term borrowings from liquidity resulting from increases in core deposits. In addition, we have initiated the sale of select investment securities from the available for sale portfolio in order to restructure the investment portfolio and to generate additional liquidity to pay off wholesale funding and invest into higher earning assets. We anticipate beneficial results to our net interest income upon completion of the strategy.
