We have made significant progress on six additional branch offices, which we expect to open in the next few months. In addition, we have plans to open three other branch offices later this year, and will continue to explore further branch expansion opportunities in the greater Tampa Bay area. While we expect to see higher expenses in future periods as a result of our expansion, over time these new branches should further improve our profitability by providing us low cost deposits to fund our loan growth.
