 A. Young, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Alliance Bankshares, commented, "We are pleased with the strong loan growth experienced in 2004 and continuing into the first quarter of 2005. The expanded commercial banking team contributed directly to the 80.2% growth in the loan portfolio to a record level of $224.8 million as of March 31, 2005 compared to March 31, 2004. Despite the rapid growth in our loan portfolio over the past year, we believe that our strong credit quality has been maintained. The first quarter reflects the strong and growing earnings power of the 'core bank.' Our net income was $670 thousand for the first quarter 2005 or 4.4% greater than the first quarter 2004 results despite significantly lower mortgage banking revenue and lower gains on sales of securities. The first quarter mortgage banking production is typically the softest period. In addition, the basic operations of the mortgage banking subsidiary have been re-organized and we expect subsequent quarterly positive trends. Our net interest margin has grown to 3.38% or 43 basis points greater than the first quarter 2004 level of 2.95%. Our net interest income has grown proportionality pro·por·tion·al
