Balance Sheet Highlights (at June June: see month.  30, 2002 compared to June 30, 2001)

Business Bancorp's balance sheet reflects strong growth from both the merger and internal growth, with assets up 84% to $627 million. Gross loans rose 117% to $398 million, with commercial real estate loans increasing 157% to $226 million, equaling 57% of the portfolio. Real estate construction lending increased 129% to $76 million and 19% of the portfolio. "The strength of the Southern California real estate market appears to be providing a solid base of business for the local economy. The businesses outside the tech-corridor in the Bay area also appear to be doing well," said Lane.

Non-performing assets increased in the quarter to $2.7 million or 0.43% of total assets compared to $2.1 million, or 0.61% of total assets a year ago. The ratio of non-performing loans A non-performing loan is a loan that is in default or close to being in default. Many loans become non-performing after being in default for 3 months, but this can depend on the contract terms.  (NPL 1. NPL - New Programming Language.

) to total loans was 0.46% at June 30, 2002 compared to 0.97% at June 30, 2001. The allowance for loan losses was 1.22% of total loans at quarter end, compared to 1.08% a year ago. "The increase in NPL's this quarter stems from a very few number of loans that we believe are well secured," said Hall. "The portfolio's performance continues to meet or exceed that of similarly sized commercial banks both in California California (kăl'ĭfôr`nyə), most populous state in the United States, located in the Far West; bordered by Oregon (N), Nevada and, across the Colorado River, Arizona (E), Mexico (S), and the Pacific Ocean (W).  and the nation."
