The increase in nonperforming assets occurred within the commercial loan portfolio of the Michigan market, primarily as a result of overall weakness in the manufacturing sector.

Net loans charged off for the first six months of 2002 were $14.5 million or 52 basis points of average loans compared to $9.1 million or 29 basis points for the same period in 2001.
