"Our net interest income increased 28% in 2003 over 2002. Our net interest margin increased 60 basis points from 4.40% in 2002 to 5.00% in 2003, and we ended the year with a 5.28% net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2003, an increase of 54 basis points over the fourth quarter 2002. This improvement in the net interest margin is a result of the combined team effort of the lending and retail banking operations, where we have been able to generate new loans while maintaining the yield on the loan portfolio through the use of interest rate floors. We also continued to restructure the Company's liabilities by focusing on increasing core deposits through our branch network."
