Net loans inched up to $16.86 billion, while deposits slipped 0.3% since year-end to $21.8 billion; non-interest-bearing balances held at 20% of total. The allowance for credit losses equals 1.48% of loans. Book value improved to $28.18 per share as equity climbed to $3.55 billion, although accumulated OCI loss widened by $20 million on securities valuations.
