 basis, and is a reflection of the Company's commitment to continuing its strong sales culture. The strong loan growth experienced during the quarter was primarily on a variable rate basis and was partially funded by a planned reduction in the securities portfolio.

Average deposit growth for the quarter was a robust $312.4 million, or 22% annualized, reflecting the effectiveness of the deposit campaigns initiated earlier in 2005 and resulted in a linked quarter reduction of 10% in higher cost wholesale funding sources.

Noninterest Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2005, noninterest income was $30.7 million, a 2.9% decrease linked quarter but a 21% increase versus the prior year. The decrease reflects a reduction in income from private equity investments as the Company recorded a $3.8 million valuation gain on one private equity investment in the second quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, noninterest income was $91.0 million, an increase of 31% over the comparable period of the prior year.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses were $62.5 million for the third quarter of 2005, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 5.7%, on a linked quarter basis. The taxable-equivalent efficiency ratio improved to 63.8% as compared to 67.1% in the prior quarter.

The improvement in noninterest expenses for the quarter resulted from the expense initiatives commenced earlier in 2005 as well as the conclusion of the name change project and the Klein merger integration.
