RETURN ON ASSETS/RETURN ON EQUITY

The company's return on average assets for the third quarter of 2002 was 1.76 percent, compared with, on an adjusted basis, 1.71 percent for the third quarter of 2001 and 1.68 percent for the second quarter of 2002. The return on average shareholders' equity Shareholders' Equity

 was 17.65 percent, compared with, on an adjusted basis, 19.11 percent for the prior-year third quarter and 17.53 percent for the second quarter of 2002. For the first nine months of 2002, the return on average assets was 1.72 percent, and the return on average shareholders' equity was 18.01 percent compared with, on an adjusted basis, 1.71 percent and 19.50 percent for the first nine months of 2001. The adjustment makes the 2001 data comparable with New GAAP. The lower return on average shareholders' equity in the current period compared with a year ago is due primarily to a higher level of shareholders' equity from increased unrealized gains Unrealized Gain

ASSETS

Total average assets reached $11.0 billion for the third quarter of 2002, an increase of 16 percent over $9.4 billion for the third quarter of 2001 and essentially unchanged over the $10.9 billion in average assets for the second quarter of 2002. Total assets at September 30, 2002 were $11.3 billion, compared with $9.8 billion at September 30, 2001 and $11.0 billion at June June: see month.  30, 2002.

Total average interest-earning assets were $10.0 billion for the third quarter of 2002, an increase of 16 percent over the $8.6 billion in average interest-earning assets for the third quarter of 2001 and 1 percent under the $10.1 billion in average interest-earning assets for the second quarter of 2002.

LOANS

Average loans for the third quarter of 2002 rose to $8.0 billion, an increase of 18 percent over the third quarter of 2001, reflecting the acquisition of Civic and continuing internally-generated loan growth. Third-quarter average loans increased slightly over the second quarter of 2002, reflecting in part, the impact of transferring seven media and telecommunication credits to available-for-sale at the end of the second quarter. Compared with the prior-year quarter, commercial loans rose 17 percent to $3.6 billion from $3.1 billion. Residential first mortgage loans rose 17 percent to $1.7 billion from $1.5 billion. Real estate mortgage loans rose 19 percent to $1.9 billion from $1.6 billion, and real estate construction loans rose 21 percent to $0.7 billion from $0.5 billion.

Average loans for the first nine months of 2002 increased 18 percent to $7.8 billion from $6.6 billion for the same period last year. Commercial loans rose 15 percent to $3.6 billion from $3.1 billion. Residential first mortgage loans rose 24 percent to $1.7 billion from $1.4 billion. Real estate mortgage loans rose 15 percent to $1.8 billion from $1.6 billion and real estate construction loans rose 29 percent to $0.6 billion from $0.5 billion.

Total loans at September 30, 2002 reached $8.0 billion, compared with $6.9 billion at September 30, 2001, and $7.9 billion at June 30, 2002, increases of 16 percent and 1 percent, respectively. The company's September 30, 2002 media and telecommunication loan portfolio, excluding the available-for-sale loans which are carried in other assets, contains 23 loans with commitment and outstanding balances of $134.1 million and $92.6 million, respectively, or just slightly more than 1 percent of the loan portfolio. All but one of these loans are syndicated.

Syndicated non-relationship loans were $48.0 million, approximately one-half of 1 percent of the loan portfolio, at September 30, 2002, compared with $93.4 million at September 30, 2001 and $47.5 million at June 30, 2002. Five media and telecommunication loans with commitment and outstanding balances of $22.2 million and $16.0 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2002 are included among these non-relationship loans and also in the total media and telecommunication loan portfolio discussed above.

Management has revised its forecast and currently expects that average loan growth for 2002 will be in the range of 15 percent to 17 percent.

DEPOSITS

Average deposits during the third quarter of 2002 were $8.8 billion, an increase of 26 percent over the third quarter of 2001 and 3 percent over the second quarter of 2002. During the first nine months of 2002, average deposits increased 22 percent to $8.4 billion, compared with $6.9 billion for the first nine months of 2001.

During the third quarter of 2002, average core deposits, which provide a source of low-cost funding, rose to $7.6 billion, an increase of 36 percent over the $5.6 billion in the third quarter of 2001 and 5 percent higher than the $7.2 billion for the second quarter of 2002. Average core deposits represented 86 percent of the total average deposit base for the third quarter, up from 80 percent for the prior-year quarter and up from 85 percent for the second quarter of 2002. For the first nine months of 2002, average core deposits were $7.1 billion, up 32 percent from $5.4 billion for the first nine months of 2001. New clients, the acquisition of Civic, and higher existing client balances maintained as deposits to pay for services, contributed to the growth of deposits.

For the first time, deposits exceeded $9 billion, totaling $9.1 billion at September 30, 2002, compared with $7.4 billion at September 30, 2001 and $8.8 billion at June 30, 2002, increases of 23 percent and 4 percent, respectively.

Management has revised its forecast and currently expects average year-over-year deposit growth to be in the range of 18 percent to 20 percent for 2002.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income for the third quarter of 2002 was $135.2 million, an increase of 18 percent over $114.7 million for the third quarter of 2001. Third-quarter net interest income was 1 percent higher than the $134.3 million recorded for the second quarter of 2002. Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income for the first nine months of 2002 was $394.9 million, an increase of 19 percent over $331.2 million for the first nine months of 2001. Interest income recovered on nonaccrual and charged-off loans included above was $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2002, compared with $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2001 and $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2002. Interest recovered in the first nine months of 2002 was $1.4 million compared with $3.6 million for the first nine months of 2001.

It is generally used by traders on the commodities market.  loans, deposits and borrowings added $8.2 million to net interest income in the third quarter of 2002 compared with $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2001 and $8.5 million for the second quarter of 2002. This included $3.7 million, $1.5 million and $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2002 and 2001 and the second quarter of 2002, respectively, for interest rate swaps qualifying as fair value hedges. For the first nine months of 2002, interest rate swaps added $24.6 million to net interest income, compared with $8.5 million for the first nine months of 2001. These amounts include $10.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively, for interest swaps qualifying as fair value hedges. Income from swaps qualifying as cash flow hedges of loans expected to be recorded in net interest income within the next 12 months is $8.1 million.

The fully taxable-equivalent net interest margin for the third quarter of 2002 was 5.35 percent, compared with 5.28 percent for the third quarter of 2001 and 5.35 percent for the second quarter of 2002. The net interest margin for the first nine months of 2002 was 5.35 percent compared with 5.30 percent for the first nine months of 2001. The increases over the same periods last year are primarily due to this year's more stable interest rate environment. The Bank's prime rate was 4.75 percent as of September 30, 2002, compared with 6.00 percent a year earlier and 4.75 percent at June 30, 2002.

Management continues to expect the net interest margin for 2002 will be slightly higher than the net interest margin of 5.26 percent reported for 2001.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Core noninterest income increased 16 percent to $36.7 million for the third quarter of 2002, compared with $31.7 million for the third quarter of 2001, and decreased 1 percent from the $37.2 million for the second quarter of 2002. For the first nine months of 2002, core noninterest income increased 16 percent to $107.5 million compared with $92.7 million for the first nine months of 2001.

Assets under administration at September 30, 2002 totaled $19.1 billion, including $7.0 billion under management, compared with $18.3 billion and $7.2 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2001, and $18.3 billion and $6.9 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2002. The quarter-over-prior-year quarter increase in assets under administration is due to continued strong new sales. Trust and investment fee revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 2002 were higher compared with the prior-year periods also due to new sales, while revenues were slightly down from the second quarter due to declining market conditions.

Cash management and deposit transaction fees for the third quarter and first nine months of 2002 increased over the same periods last year as the result of strong growth in deposits, higher sales of online cash management products, and the impact on fees of a reduction in the earnings credit on analyzed an·a·lyze

In addition, management expects that a more stable interest rate environment will contribute to a reduction in the growth rate of cash management and deposit transaction fees for the remainder of 2002.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

After excluding amortization of goodwill from prior-year reported periods, noninterest expense of $82.4 million for the third quarter of 2002 was up 11 percent from $74.1 million for the third quarter of 2001 and down 1 percent from $83.0 million for the second quarter of 2002. The increase over the prior-year quarter was primarily the result of the company's growth, including the acquisition of Civic, and costs associated with additional colleagues. Noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2002 increased 9 percent to $244.1 million compared with $223.3 million for the first nine months of 2001 on a comparable basis.

The company's cash efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2002 was 47.49 percent compared with 49.49 percent for the third quarter of 2001 and 46.76 percent for the second quarter of 2002. For the first nine months of 2002, the cash efficiency ratio was 47.39 percent compared with 51.34 percent for the first nine months of 2001. The improvement over the prior year was driven by both increased revenues and the company's ongoing efforts to improve efficiency and productivity.

Excluding the amortization of goodwill in 2001, management continues to anticipate that 2002 noninterest expense will increase 7 percent to 10 percent over the prior year, with the acquisition of Civic accounting for a significant amount of the increase.

INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2002 was 30.3 percent, which included $4.6 million in income tax benefits in this quarter -- $3.0 million relating to the first-half-of-the-year impact from the recently completed conversion of the company's former regulated investment company to a real estate investment trust and $1.6 million from a change in state tax law concerning the tax treatment of loan loss reserves. These items contributed to an effective tax rate for the third quarter of 22.5 percent. These rates compare with as reported rates of 33.2 percent for the third quarter and 33.1 percent for the first nine months of 2001. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2002 was 33.1 percent. The lower effective tax rates in 2002 also reflect the realization (specification) realization - A UML semantic relationship between a classifier that specifies a contract and another classifier that guarantees to carry it out.

Due to the third-quarter factors discussed above, management has revised its forecast and currently anticipates the company's effective tax rate for 2002 will be within a range of 30 percent to 32 percent.

CREDIT QUALITY

Net loan charge-offs were $19.0 million and $6.6 million for the third quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively, and $16.0 million for the second quarter of 2002. Third-quarter charge-offs included $10.3 million, including an $8.5 million previously identified potential problem commitment, relating to one private banking client, and $4.5 million relating to two relationship syndicated credits, one of which was media and telecommunication related. For the first nine months of 2002 and 2001, net loan charge-offs were $42.0 million and $22.2 million, respectively. Charge-offs do not contain any concentration within a specific industry sector.

Total syndicated non-relationship loans on nonaccrual status consisted of three loans totaling $6.2 million at September 30, 2002 and $6.4 million at June 30, 2002.

The company recorded a provision for credit losses of $20.5 million and $49.5 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2002, respectively, compared with $10.0 million and $24.0 million for the same periods in 2001. The provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2002 was $18.0 million. The provision for credit losses this quarter primarily reflects management's ongoing assessment of the credit quality of the portfolio, including changes in the media and telecommunication sectors, and the general economic environment during this period. Additional factors affecting the provision include net loan charge-offs and nonaccrual loans and growth in the portfolio.

The allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2002 totaled $159.2 million, or 2.00 percent of outstanding loans. This compares with an allowance of $137.2 million, or 2.00 percent at September 30, 2001 and an allowance of $157.6 million, or 2.01 percent at June 30, 2002. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans was 317 percent at September 30, 2002, compared with 342 percent at September 30, 2001 and 245 percent at June 30, 2002. Management believes the allowance for credit losses is adequate to cover risks in the portfolio, including any unfunded commitments at September 30, 2002.

The provision for credit losses to be taken in 2002 will reflect management's assessment of the above factors, as well as changes in the economic environment during this period. Given the current economic environment, management expects nonaccrual loans will increase from current levels. Based on its assessment of credit quality indicators, management has revised its forecast and currently anticipates that a provision for credit losses for all of 2002 could be within the $65.0 million to $75.0 million range.

OUTLOOK

Management has revised its forecast and currently expects net income per diluted common share for 2002 will be approximately 8 percent to 10 percent higher than New GAAP net income per diluted common share of $3.22 for 2001.
