For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company's income from continuing operations was $57.1 million or $1.01 per diluted share compared to $66.1 million or $1.13 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company reported a net loss from discontinued operations of $60.3 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 compared to net income from discontinued operations of $10.3 million or $0.17 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2002.

CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

The Company's net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2003 amounted to $42.1 million, a decrease of $1.8 million compared to $43.9 million of net interest income in the fourth quarter of 2002. The continuing low interest rate environment reduced the Company's yields on its loans and investment securities which was partially offset by lower costs paid on deposits and borrowings.

The Company's interest income declined by $9.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 compared to the fourth quarter of 2002. This was due primarily to a 73 basis point reduction in the average yield earned on loans, which was partially offset by a $156.6 million or 3.3% increase in the average balance in the loan portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2003 compared to the fourth quarter of 2002. The average yield earned on securities declined by 221 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2003, compared to the fourth quarter of 2002, which more than offset a $316.1 million or 29.3% increase in the average balance of securities. The reduction in the average yields earned by the Company on its loans and securities primarily reflects the continuing low interest rate environment. Included in the Company's interest income was interest earned on warehouse lines of credit from the Bank to SIB Mortgage which had an average balance of $ 1.4 billion and an average yield of 3.89% for the fourth quarter of 2003. The Company anticipates that, as the balance on such warehouse lines are reduced as a function of the winding down of SIB Mortgage's operations, these funds will be available for reinvestment Reinvestment

The Company's interest expense declined $8.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 compared to the fourth quarter of 2002. This was primarily due to a 78 basis point decline in the overall cost of funds Cost of Funds

Cost of funds

 from 3.30% in the fourth quarter of 2002 to 2.52% in the fourth quarter of 2003. The impact of this decline in the cost of funds was partially offset by the increase in the average balance of deposits, which increased $366.3 million or 12.49%.

For the year, net interest income decreased by $11.2 million to $164.0 million compared to $175.2 million for 2002. A decrease of $40.0 million in interest income was partially offset by $28.8 million reduction in interest expense. Again, lower market rates of interest reduced the average yields on the Company's loans and securities and the average cost of deposits and borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company's provision for loan losses decreased by $554,000 from $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2002 to $1.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2003. For the year the provision increased $2.8 million from $4.1 million in 2002 to $7.0 million in 2003. Net charge-offs increased $3.5 million during 2003 compared to 2002 of which $2.6 million related to the Bank's mobile home portfolio.

Other Income

Total other income increased $2.6 million from $3.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2002 to $6.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2003.

 transactions and a $2.8 million increase in gains on securities transactions were partially offset by a $5.0 million increase in the loss on loan sales in the fourth quarter of 2003.

For the year, total other income increased $6.3 million from $26.4 million for 2002 to $32.7 million for 2003. This was primarily the result of a $13.3 million increase in service and fee income primarily related to $11.9 million in fees earned by the Bank as a result of its guarantee of certain third party lines of credit for SIB Mortgage and a $1.0 million increase in gains on securities transactions, which were partially offset by $4.3 million loss on loan sales in 2003 compared to a $700,000 gain in 2002, as well as a $2.9 million reduction in other income. The reduction in other income was due to the receipt in the first quarter of 2002 of a $3.0 million one time liquidating dividend Liquidating Dividend
