In addition to the fourth quarter FHLBB prepayment penalty and impairment loss, the Company recognized $506,000 of expenses related to an early-retirement program implemented in the second quarter. Improving fee based non-interest income was more than offset by increases in non-interest expenses and decreases in net interest income. Earnings for 2002 after adjusting for the prepayment, impairment and early-retirement program charges would have been $16.5 million or $1.91 per share.

The return on average equity and assets for 2002 were 12.24% and 0.99% compared to 18.43% and 1.32%, respectively, for 2001.

Mr. Lawson commented, "The capital to assets ratios stand at 8.0% and 7.9%, respectively, as capital on December 31, 2002 was $118.4 million as compared to $115.3 million a year ago. Total non-performing assets declined from $3.3 million to $2.8 million at December 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The allowance for loan losses was $12.4 million on December 31, 2002, up slightly from $12.3 million a year ago. Total assets grew $27.2 million year over year as $38.8 million of deposit growth exceeded the reduction in borrowings. Net sources of funds were used primarily to grow securities. Total loans were $801.4 million, down from the $884.2 million reported one year ago.
