Gross loan originations grew from $83.0 million in 2003 to $102.9 million in 2004, but the anticipated slow down in loan volume was evident as fourth quarter loan originations decreased from $45.2 million in fourth quarter 2003 to $12.7 million in fourth quarter 2004. The record level of loan originations in 2004 was tempered by continued high levels of loan repayments, which amounted to $48.3 million in 2004 compared to $49.4 million in 2003. Loan purchases of $9.2 million and loan sales of $21.7 million were transacted in 2004 as part of the Bank's asset/liability management Asset/Liability Management

Income Statement Highlights:

Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased from $8.4 million in 2003 to $9.4 million in 2004. The $1.1 million increase resulted from the effect of a $38.7 million increase in average interest-earning assets, in combination with a $40.5 million increase in interest-bearing liabilities (change in volume), offset by the effect of 17 basis point decrease in the weighted average interest rate ("WAIR n. 1. (Carp.) A piece of plank two yard long and a foot broad. ") spread (change in rate) from 3.89% during 2003 compared to 3.72% during 2004. The volume effect increased net interest income by $1.9 million, and the rate effect decreased net interest income by $0.8 million.

During 2004, provisions for loan losses amounted to $108,000. During 2003, certain loans that had specific reserves were paid in full, and the specific reserves amounting to $117,000 were recognized as a credit to income.

Non-interest expense, net of non-interest income, increased by $498,000, comparing 2004 to 2003, primarily due to the $579,000 increase in compensation and benefits.
