Highlight of Business Operations:

Interest and fee income (FTE) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased

$4,202,000 (6.8%) from the same period of 2008. The decrease was due to a 0.77%

decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets to 6.03% that was

partially offset by a $92,160,000 (5.1%) increase in average interest-earning

assets to $1,910,377,000. The growth in interest-earning assets was primarily

due to a $20,257,000 (1.3%) increase in average loan balances to $1,561,064,000,

and a $77,592,000 increase in average balance of interest-earning cash at the

Federal Reserve and other banks. The decrease in the yield on average

interest-earning assets was mainly due to a 0.61% decrease in yield on loans to

6.50% and the large increase in interest-bearing cash balances that earned only

0.20% during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in loan yields

from the six months ended June 30, 2009 was mainly due to a 4.00% decrease in

the prime lending rate from 7.25% at December 31, 2007 to 3.25% at June 30,

2009.

(1) Net interest spread represents the average yield earned on interest-earning

assets minus the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

(2) Net interest margin is computed by calculating the difference between

interest income and expense, divided by the average balance of

interest-earning assets.






As shown in the following table, total nonperforming assets net of guarantees of

the U.S. Government, including its agencies and its government-sponsored

agencies, increased $17,285,000 (60%) to $45,995,000 during the first six months

of 2009. Nonperforming assets net of guarantees represent 2.20% of total assets.

All nonaccrual loans are considered to be impaired when determining the need for

a specific valuation allowance. The Company continues to make a concerted effort

to work problem and potential problem loans to reduce risk of loss.
