         <title>Independent Bank Austin (TX) Continues Growth; Q1 &amp;#039;08 Assets, Loans, Deposits Rise - Sub-prime Lending Chaos Creates Opportunity for Community Banks -- CEO</title>
         <link>http://www.prweb.com/releases/community/bank/prweb859684.htm</link><description>   <![CDATA[ <P>Independent Bank of Austin, SSB, based in Lakeway and also serving the Georgetown-Sun City areas of Central Texas, reported a 27% rise in net profits over the year-ago first quarter; a 33% increase in assets, 18% growth in loans and a 19% rise in local deposits for the first quarter of 2008. Customer relationships grew 4% during the past quarter, and the average life of a loan this past quarter was 12.9 months and the average size about $265,776. CEO Denny Buchanan says the sub prime mortgage mess may be affecting his Travis-Williamson County market, but is actually creating solid lending opportunities for the 33-month-old state savings bank that expects to reach $180 million in assets by year-end 2008.
