The net interest margin declined 23 basis points to 3.13 percent in the first half of 2001 from 3.36 percent in the comparable period in 2000. Despite an increase of $101.7 million in the average balance of the higher yielding mortgage loans, and an eight basis point increase in the yield on mortgage loans, the average yield on interest earning assets declined two basis points. This decline is due primarily to the lower yield on mortgage-backed and investment securities. The cost of funds increased fourteen basis points due primarily to an increase in the average balance and rate paid on certificate of deposit accounts, along with an increase in the average balance of higher costing borrowed funds to fund asset growth.

Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased by 63.7 percent to $3.3 million from $2.0 million for the comparable 2000 period.
