Highlight of Business Operations:

For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, net income was $15.1 million or $0.39 per diluted share, compared to $20.8 million or $0.54 per diluted share for the same period ended June 30, 2009. After adjusting for gains on securities and the fair value of interest rate caps net income was $12.5 million or $0.32 per diluted share for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $11.0 million or $0.29 per diluted share for the same period ended June 30, 2009. We present earnings excluding net securities gains and fair market value adjustments on interest rate caps as we believe this affords investors a better understanding of our core banking operations, and aligns more closely to the views of the investment community, which tends to adjust for more variable components of income. Net interest income of $70.0 million, decreased $1.4 million from the same period in the prior year. Provision for loan losses was $7.8 million, down from $13.1 million in the same period of the prior year. Gains on sales of securities totaled $5.2 million as the Company continues to monetize a portion of the appreciation in the portfolio compared to $16.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Non interest income decreased $12.7 million mostly due to the decrease in gains on sales of securities and the cumulative loss on interest rate caps. Expenses are up slightly from the same period in 2009 due to increases in employee benefits and incentive accruals, occupancy and equipment expenses, advertising and promotion and professional fees.

Net Loans as of June 30, 2010 were essentially unchanged at $1.7 billion from September 30, 2009.

Total loan originations were $379.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 while payments were $342.6 million.
