The addition of this $56 million loan portfolio fits well with our current loan servicing portfolio and supports its overall growth. We fully intend to continue to grow our loan servicing portfolio both organically and through subservicing and acquisition opportunities. Loan servicing revenue creates an important recurring income stream for our organization. As such, we expect to increase our total loan servicing portfolio by a minimum of 32.4% over 2012 to at least $700 million by the end of 2013."
