Highlight of Business Operations:

Our net income decreased to $29.0 million for the first six months of 2009 compared with $33.3 million for the first six months of 2008, a decrease of $4.3 million or 12.92%. The decrease of $4.3 million is primarily the result of the increase in provision for credit losses of $37.3 million and an increase in non-interest expense of $5.6 million, offset by an increase in net interest income before provision for credit losses of $16.8 million and gain on sale of securities of $21.5 million. Diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.30 per share for 2009, from $0.40 per share in 2008. Of the $0.10 decrease per share, $0.05 represents costs associated with dividends paid and amortization of the discount on our preferred stock issued in December 2008 to the United States Treasury as a result of our participation in their Capital Purchase Program.

Our net income decreased to $15.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared with $17.2 million for the same period in 2008, a decrease of $1.3 million or 7.53%. The decrease of $1.3 million is primarily the result of the increase in provision for credit losses of $17.0 million and an increase in non-interest expense of $2.6 million, offset by an increase in net interest income before provision for credit losses of $5.6 million and gain on sale of securities of $12.6 million. Diluted earnings per share

We reported net earnings of $29.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This represented a decrease of $4.3 million or 12.92%, from net earnings of $33.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to an increase in loan loss provision of $37.3 million offset by gains on sales of securities of $21.5 million and an increase in our net interest income of $16.8 million year over year. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the six-month period decreased to $0.30 per share for 2009, compared to $0.40 per share for 2008. The annualized return on average assets was 0.90% for the six months of 2009 compared to an annualized return on average assets of 1.06% for the six months of 2008. The annualized return on average equity was 9.29% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to an annualized return of 14.88% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in annualized return on average equity for the six month period is attributed to overall decreased earnings for the first six months of 2009 and an increase in our average equity balance as a result of the preferred stock we issued to the U.S. Treasury in December 2008 as a result of our participation in the Capital Purchase Program.

Interest expense totaled $45.4 million for the first six months of 2009. This represented a decrease of $28.2 million, or 38.36%, from total interest expense of $73.6 million for the same period last year. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities to 2.03% for the first six months of 2009 from 3.20% for the same period in 2008, or 117 basis points. The decrease in rates paid on deposits and borrowings was offset by an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $360.1 million, or 17.79%, from $2.02 billion to $2.38 billion.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, our net interest income, before provision for credit losses, totaled $54.1 million. This represented an increase of $5.6 million, or 11.58%, over net interest income of $48.5 million for the same period in 2008. The increase in net interest income of $5.6 million resulted from a decrease of $12.8 million in interest expense, offset by a $7.2 million decrease in interest income.

Interest expense totaled $21.7 million for the second quarter of 2009. This represented a decrease of $12.8 million or 37.13%, from total interest expense of $34.5 million for the same period last year. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities to 1.98% for the second quarter ending June 30, 2009 from 2.95% for the same period in 2008, or 97 basis points. The decrease in yields was offset by an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $508.6 million, or 25.46%, from $2.00 billion to $2.51 billion.
