"The second quarter and first half-year both experienced a near doubling of insurance commissions, reflecting quality agency acquisitions last year and a strengthening insurance market," Mr. Ryan added.

Largely as a result of the strong margin and increases in commercial lending and demand deposits, the Company's net interest income rose 10 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same quarter a year ago. For the first six months of the year, net interest income increased 6 percent over the first half of 2000.

Noninterest expenses, excluding special charges in the second quarter of 2000, rose 5 percent in the second quarter of 2001 as compared to the second quarter of 2000 primarily because of salary and benefits increases related to insurance agency acquisitions, rent increases related to the Company's new headquarters, and energy and seasonal factors.
