For the fourth quarter ended Sept. 30, 1995, net interest income was $6,705,000 compared to $5,577,000 for the same quarter last year. Net interest margin for the 1995 fiscal year was 4.95% compared to 4.66% in fiscal 1994.

) was reduced by greater than 47.9% with $13,664,000 remaining at the end of fiscal 1995, compared to $26,233,000 at the end of fiscal 1994. Randall said: "Success in this area was the result of preventing new NPA while resolving a significant amount of existing NPA." NPA as a percent of total assets at the end of fiscal 1995 was 2.46% compared to 5.43% at the end of fiscal 1994. Consistent with this drop in NPA, the annual provision for loan and real estate losses was $1,252,000 in fiscal 1995, compared to $2,065,000 for fiscal 1994.

Randall further stated: "Fiscal 1995 was an outstanding year for us as reflected by our posted record earnings for the past two quarters and the fiscal year as a whole. We originated over $100,000,000 in new loans and grew our total assets by 14.95% while limiting the growth of our non-interest expenses to only 4%."
