2012 was a pivotal year for our Company. In tandem with the slow, steadily improving local and national economies, Community Shores Bank returned to profitability and the Company stabilized at breakeven. After struggling through one of the worst economic climates in recent history, we believe that we are now well on the road to recovery.

On any prolonged journey, we look for mile markers as indications of how far we have traveled. Last year we made good progress. The Bank achieved four consecutive, profitable quarters resulting in annualized earnings of $749,000. This was better than anticipated and, excluding a one-time gain on sale of Bank owned land, was predominantly realized through normal operations as a result of an intense focus on asset quality improvements and improved funding costs.
