    NOTE: The taxable equivalent adjustment has been computed based on
        the statutory federal income tax rate, adjusted for applicable
        state income taxes net of the related federal tax benefit.
        Loans net of unearned income includes nonaccrual loans for all
        periods presented. Available-for-sale securities excludes
        certain noninterest-earning, marketable equity securities.
        Statement 133 valuation adjustments related to time deposits,
        certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more and other
        interest-bearing liabilities are included in other
        liabilities. Included in interest revenue for the
        available-for-sale portfolio for the three months ended March
        31, 2003, December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002, was
        approximately $12,974,000, $14,141,000, and $15,519,000,
        respectively, associated with retained interest on loans sold
        or securitized which resulted in an increase in the yield on
        the available-for-sale portfolio of approximately 115, 129 and
        139 basis points, respectively.
