Mr. Gleason stated, "While the continued execution of our growth and de novo branching strategy necessarily entails increases in non-interest expense, we have maintained our strong focus on both revenue growth and expense control. As a result, even as we have added a large number of new offices, our total revenue has grown faster than our non-interest expense. We are very proud to have achieved record efficiency ratios in both the first and second quarters of 2005."
