Press Release - First State Bancorporation (FSNM-NASDAQ)

“To sum it up, this is a very challenging banking environment. Our CEO and I have been through much tougher markets in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, so what we see right now are not necessarily challenges as much as opportunities. We have an outstanding group of people to work with in our organization from senior management right down to the front lines; we are very proud of our people and their ability to get the job done. We are confident that they are going to help us be very successful over the next several years...” - H. Patrick Dee (Interview published August 22, 2008)
