Highlights of the Quarter

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $78.2 million for the third quarter, an improvement of $2.9 million over the prior quarter. The net interest margin for the quarter increased to 2.70 percent, compared to 2.45 percent for the same period last year and 2.58 percent in the second quarter of this year, reflecting the company's reduced cost of borrowings.

Credit Quality

As it did in the prior period, the company continued to build reserves in the third quarter. The loan loss allowance for all non-performing assets was increased by $14.9 million. This increase was driven by a provision of $19.8 million, less net charge-offs of $4.9 million.

Total non-performing assets were $142.8 million as of September 30, 2001, compared to $138.6 million at June June: see month.  30, 2001. Total NPAs represented 1.10 percent of total assets at September 30, and June 30, 2001. The allowance for losses to non-residential non-performing assets at September 30, 2001 was 229 percent, compared to 235 percent at June 30, 2001.

Non Interest Income Non-interest income is derived from the execution/processing business, the advisory business and any principal business that does not appear on the balance sheet. Financial institutions that wish to maximize execution/processing income depend on volume and efficiency for profits.
