For the third quarter 2003, SBA originations were $26.3 million, compared to $22.3 million for the third quarter 2002. The Company sold $14.6 million, or 56% of originations, in the third quarter 2003, compared to $14.4 million, or 65% of originations, during the third quarter of 2002. As a percent of revenues (net interest income plus non-interest income), gain on sale of loans was 19% of total revenues for the third quarter and 18% year to date. At $1.35 million for the quarter, this is in line with the Company's previously stated goal of maintaining gains on sale of loans to between $1.0 million and $1.5 million per quarter.

Deposits were $381.2 million as of Sept. 30, 2003, compared to $336.1 million as of Sept. 30, 2002. Retail deposits increased 12% to $337.0 million, compared to $301.4 million last year.
