 from $169.3 million and $155.6 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002, to $220.0 million and $214.2 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003, and to a lesser extent, to an increase in net average interest earnings assets (average interest earnings assets less average interest bearing liabilities) from $28.8 million and $31.8 million, respectively, to $41.4 million and $38.4 million, respectively. Net interest income was adversely impacted by a decrease in the net yield on interest earning assets, or net interest margin, from 5.23% and 5.16%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002, to 4.59% and 4.64%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003.

Forward-Looking Statements forward-looking statement

A projected financial statement based on management expectations. A forward-looking statement involves risks with regard to the accuracy of assumptions underlying the projections.


Statements in the news release that are not historical facts or which refer to the Company's expectations or beliefs constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended a·mend  
v. a·mend·ed, a·mend·ing, a·mends

v.tr.

 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements regarding the Company's future performance or financial condition are based on current information and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ significantly from those expected at this time. These risks and uncertainties relate to such matters as, but are not limited to: increased competition from other financial institutions; changes in local national economic conditions and changes in Federal Reserve Board monetary policies, which could cause interest rates to increase, and loan demand to decline, and thereby reduce the Bank's net margins and operating results; increased government regulation which could increase the costs of operations; the Company's ability to successfully enter new markets or introduce new financial products or services; the costs and the possible adverse impact on operating results of planned growth and expansion; and continuing performance of the Company's loan portfolio.

These, as well as other factors and uncertainties, are discussed in greater detail in the Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 or Form 10-QSB for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003. Readers are urged to read those reports and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this news release. The Company also disclaims any obligation to update forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
