By: First Commons Bank "I am pleased with the progress of our new bank on all fronts this quarter and I am especially pleased that loans increased by 39 percent and our total loan portfolio remains without a single loan that is 30 days or more past due," said Tony Nuzzo, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "Our loans grew five to six times faster than our deposits, which, we believe, reflects our ability to fill consumer and business lending voids created by the large banks. “For the 12 months ending December 31, 2010, our net interest margin grew by more than 300 percent and our net income improved by 25 percent," said Nuzzo. "Although sustained profitability is not expected for several quarters, we are clearly making progress toward this objective.” "We are also pleased that with more than 7,600 FDIC-insured banks in the U.S. filing quarterly reports for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, First Commons Bank assets have now surpassed those of more than 2,900 other banks, or more than 38 percent, after just six quarters of operations," # # # First Commons Bank, N.A., a nationally chartered, FDIC-insured, full-service community bank, is dedicated to serving the banking needs of small to mid-sized businesses as well as individuals in Newton, Wellesley, Waltham, and eastern Massachusetts.
