Investor RelationsBack in 1996, the message to our first investors is the same for prospective investors today: Southern Community will be built for long term success. We have kept that promise, and here are some of the reasons why: Our passion for service: Our philosophy, the way we treat our customers and team members, has not changed since day one. Our core beliefs are embodied in Small Enough to Care. We treat everyone with the same care, whether they have a dollar with us or a million dollars. Respect for our customers and our people is a part of who we are. Our soundness: We have been adamant about maintaining exceptional loan quality and remaining well capitalized. These are essential foundations in order to build a strong company that will last. Our profitability: In order to provide a sufficient return to our shareholders, we must be profitable. Southern Community has made a profit since our fifth month of operation. Our goal is to increase our earnings per share each year on a consistent basis. Our stock price should be positively affected as a result. Our exceptional growth: As a result of our service, quality, and earnings, Southern Community has grown from one branch and 13 employees to 22 branches and over 300 employees. Our reach spans from Asheville in the west to Raleigh in the east. We also have regional offices in Mooresville (Charlotte); Mount Airy; Winston-Salem (Our Home) and Greensboro. Our people: The biggest reason for our success. They make it happen every day. I am so thankful for them. Each of us is available to you. You will always get a live person when you call and always be immediately connected to whoever you are calling. The holding company for Southern Community Bank and Trust is Southern Community Financial Corporation, and our symbol on the NASDAQ Global Select Market is SCMF. I invite you to join us by being a customer and/or shareholder. Please call me directly with any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration.
