Excluding Matsco loan sales and write-down of corporate finance loans, total loans grew $23.2 million, or at an annualized rate of 2.1%.

Year over year, loans declined 5.6% primarily due to the $256.5 million decrease in the construction loan portfolio consistent with diminished levels of construction activity.

Improved Credit Quality – NPAs declined to $42.2 million (down by 32% since 12/31/03) and net charge-offs were $4.0 million or 0.36% of average annualized loans (including $2.0 million loss in discontinued business and $1.0 million in total charge-offs at Matsco).

Non-Interest Income – $46.6 million or 39% of Total Revenue for Q2 and $94.1 million – 39% for the first half of 2004.

Interest Rate Risk and Net Interest Margin

Balance sheet position is asset sensitive.

Designated approximately $500 million of securities as Held-to-Maturity during Q2 2004.

Buffering volatility in tangible equity as part of capital and interest rate risk management.

Investment strategy continues to be to invest in shorter duration securities.

Capital Management and Strength

All capital ratios of the Company and the Bank continue to be comfortably above the regulatory well-capitalized minimum.

Total tangible equity ratio is 6.67% down from 6.90% at Q1 due mainly to temporary downward valuation of $41.0 million for the investment securities during Q2.

Share repurchase plan has $20.5 million remaining –continually evaluate opportunities to buy back shares as a part of our capital management process.
