Net interest income was $11.1 million for the fourth quarter of 1999 compared to $6.9 million for the same period in 1998. The increase in net interest income was due to the merger and the Company's continued growth in its commercial and lease banking businesses.

Other income increased $787 thousand to $2.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from $1.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. The increase was primarily due to increases in loan service fees and other operating income Operating Income

Other expense increased from $7.4 million for the fourth quarter of 1998 to $8.6 million for the fourth quarter of 1999 primarily from higher operating costs operating costs nplgastos mpl operacionales  of a larger company as a result of the merger.

Additionally, intangible amortization decreased for the fourth quarter of 1999 compared to the fourth quarter of 1998 as the Company utilizes an accelerated amortization method which amortizes more of the purchase premium related to acquisitions in early years than in later years.

Net income was $10.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. Net income for the year ended 1998 included a $2.7 million net of tax gain from the sale of Coal City National Bank in the first quarter of 1998. Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $40.5 million compared to $27.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1998.

For the year ended December 31, 1999, other income decreased $878 thousand to $9.1 million from $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The decrease was primarily due to the $4.1 million gain resulting from the sale of Coal City National Bank and a $200 thousand gain on the sale of a trust business in the first quarter of 1998. In addition, loan service fees and other operating income increased while net lease financing decreased for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

For the year ended December 31, 1999, other expense increased $6.5 million to $33.6 million from $27.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998.

These higher operating costs included increases in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses and other operating expenses. Additionally, intangible amortization decreased for the year ended 1999 compared to the year ended 1998 as the Company utilizes an accelerated amortization method which amortizes more of the purchase premium related to acquisitions in early years than in later years.

Interest income increased due to a $325.2 million, or 42.8%, increase in average interest earning assets, while interest expense rose as a result of a $319.2 million, or 49.7%, increase in average

interest bearing liabilities. Approximately $295.0 million of the increase in average interest earning assets and approximately $257.0 million of the increase in average interest bearing liabilities was due to the merger.

The net interest margin increased from 3.66% for the year ended December 31, 1998 to 3.73% for the year ended December 31, 1999.

OTHER INCOME

Other income increased $787 thousand to $2.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from $1.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. This increase was primarily due to a $746 thousand increase in loan service fees due to the acquisition of loan servicing Loan servicing is the process by which a mortgage bank or subservicing firm collects the timely payment of interest and principal from borrowers. The level of service varies depending on the type loan and the terms negotiated between the firm and the investor seeking their services.  activities acquired through the merger, as well as a $314 thousand increase in other operating income due to a $144 thousand increase in automated teller machine automated teller machine (ATM), device used by bank customers to process account transactions.

 of the acquired entities has been adjusted to fair value. Adjustments included recording core deposit intangibles Property that is a "right" such as a patent, Copyright, or trademark, or one that is lacking physical existence, such as good will.  to reflect the difference between the fair value and underlying basis of deposits purchased and recording goodwill for the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of net assets acquired. Core deposit intangibles and goodwill are being amortized as a non-cash expense Noun 1. non-cash expense - an expense (such as depreciation) that is not paid for in cash
disbursal, disbursement, expense - amounts paid for goods and services that may be currently tax deductible (as opposed to capital expenditures)
 over periods of up to eight and 20 years, respectively. Amortization expense reduces net income during the amortization periods.

Under this method of accounting, no goodwill or core deposit intangibles would have been recorded. Consequently, net income is not reduced for the amortization of core deposit intangibles or goodwill. Since application of the two methods can result in dramatically different net income, management, certain analysts and certain peer financial institutions have been computing computing - computer  cash earnings in order to compare results. At present, cash earnings is not a defined term or concept under generally accepted accounting principles The standard accounting rules, regulations, and procedures used by companies in maintaining their financial records.
