The primary reason for the increase in total cash and due from banks was a result of significant customer deposit growth as a result of which, the Company achieved higher than expected liquidity. The growth in the Company s loan portfolio was primarily the result of increases in the Company s commercial lending and personal loan portfolios. The growth in the Company s loan portfolio was primarily the result of increases in commercial real estate, home equity and consumer loan portfolios. These categories increased $22.3 million, $8.3 million and $6.8 million, respectively, at March 31, 2009 over December 31, 2008. The growth in 2009 was a result of our continued commitment to funding the credit needs of our community, even as other financial service institutions in our footprint reduced lending.
