 increased by $0.7 million from 2004 to 2005, and total general and administrative expenses declined by $0.6 million.

The Company's operating highlights for the year 2005 included the following:

- Net interest income was $39.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared with $33.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. This increase was due primarily to a higher loan volume in 2005, reflecting the Bank's significant loan originations The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.

 and purchases throughout 2004. The Company's average balance of interest-earning assets in 2005 was more than $1.3 billion, an increase of $164.0 million over the 2004 average. In addition, interest income for 2005 included $4.7 million in loan prepayment fees, compared with $0.9 million of such fees in 2004. (The Company previously included loan prepayment fees in other operating income, but reclassified these fees to loan interest income in 2005.

- The net interest margin increased by 6 basis points to 2.94% for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared with 2.88% for the year ended December 31, 2004. This increase was due to the $3.8 million increase in loan prepayment fees, net of accelerated premium amortization on prepaid pre·pay

- The Bank originated and purchased a total of $261.8 million in commercial real estate and multi-family mortgage loans for the year ended December 31, 2005, down from $439.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Origination Origination

Fourth Quarter Results

BHBC's net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 was $3.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with $6.0 million (as restated), or $0.29 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. (The net income for the fourth quarter of 2004 reflected significant, non-recurring tax benefits realized through the reduction in the Company's deferred tax asset valuation allowance.) The Company's pre-tax income from continuing operations was $6.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2005, compared with $5.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2004. The increase for the 2005 period was the result of two factors: (1) the Company reduced its employee bonus expense by $0.7 million after an evaluation of the adequacy of the year-end bonus accrual accrual,
n continually recurring short-term liabilities. Examples are accrued wages, taxes, and interest.
, and (2) other operating income increased by $0.4 million, due to higher dividends on FHLB FHLB Federal Home Loan Bank  stock and the absence of losses on sales of real estate in the fourth quarter of 2005, compared with $0.2 million of such losses in the 2004 period.

Restatement of 2004 Results

As previously announced, the Company identified material errors in the 2004 financial statements as originally filed and has restated those financial statements. The cumulative effects of the adjustments on the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004 are as follows: (1) Net income as restated increased by $1.1 million, consisting of an increase in income from discontinued operations of $1.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in income from continuing operations due to an additional income tax provision of $0.7 million, and (2) the balance sheet as restated reflects a decrease in deferred tax assets of $2.6 million, a decrease in current taxes payable of $3.5 million and an increase in stockholders' equity Stockholders' Equity
