) today announced net income of $4.6 million for the quarter ended June June: see month.  30, 2000. This compares to net income of $4.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Fully-diluted earnings per share was $.14 for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999.

Mr. Pearson noted that recurring re·cur

 earnings improved in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to $4.6 million, or $.14 per share, from recurring earnings of $4.3 million, or $.13 per share, recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Prior period earnings included $.4 million after taxes from a partial recovery of $.7 million on a fraud loss related to the 1996 acquisition of First Harrisburg Bancor. P. Mr. Pearson attributed the improvement in recurring earnings primarily to net interest income, which grew $1.1 million, or 7.6%, to $15.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, from $14.4 million recorded in the prior year period. This increase in net interest income resulted mostly from growth in the Corporation's commercial and consumer loans and commercial and retail deposits. Net interest income from average balance growth exceeded the effect of interest rate spread compression compression, external stress applied to an object or substance, tending to cause a decrease in volume (see pressure). Gases can be compressed easily, solids and liquids to a very small degree if at all.  from rising short term market interest rates experienced during the last four quarters. Net interest margin increased 5 basis points to 2.51% versus the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and declined 11 basis points from the quarter ended June 30, 1999. During the June 2000 quarter, average commercial and consumer loans totaled $812.6 million, up $224.3 million, or 38.1%, from the June 1999 quarter average of $588.3 million.

Noninterest income (excluding securities gains and the one-time one-time

 fraud recovery) decreased to $2.6 million from $2.8 million a year ago. Revenue from service charges on deposits increased $.2 million, or 12%, to $1.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the prior period. This revenue was offset by a decline in mortgage banking revenue of $.4 million, or 57%, to $.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the prior period. Mortgage banking revenue declined in the current period primarily because of weaker demand for mortgages and the winding up of operations at the Corporation's mortgage banking subsidiary late in the quarter ended June 30, 1999.

The Corporation's noninterest expense increased 4.4% during the quarter over the prior year period due to continued staffing enhancements in commercial and retail lines of business as well as continued investments in the Corporation's branch network. P. Mr. Pearson also noted that the Harris Bankers have continued to maintain excellent credit quality in the Corporation's asset portfolios. Non-accrual loans and loans 90 days past due but still accruing decreased from $16.1 million at year end 1999 to $9.8 million at June 30, 2000 (or 0.71% of total loans).

Harris Financial experienced strong asset growth during the quarter ended June 30, 2000. At June 30, 2000, net loans totaled $1.389 billion, up $74 million, or 5.6%, from $1.315 billion at March 31, 2000. This loan growth was generated primarily in commercial and consumer lending Consumer lending or consumer loans refers to any type of loan product that is not a mortgage; such as a car, boat, manufactured home, home equity loan, home equity line of credit, signature loan, signature line of credit, recreational vehicle, or Certificate of Deposit loans. , reflecting HFI's strong performance in its community banking business lines. Total deposits excluding brokered certificates grew $23 million, or 1.7%, during the quarter to $1.379 billion at June 30, 2000, up from $1.356 billion at March 31, 2000. P. Harris Financial also reported excellent growth for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000. Assets at June 30, 2000 were $2.851 billion, up $186 million, or 7.0%, from $2.665 billion at June 30, 1999. Net loans were up $124 million, or 9.8%, from $1.265 billion at June 30, 1999, with growth of $208 million in commercial and consumer loans offsetting a reduction of $84 million in mortgage loans. Total deposits excluding brokered certificates grew $126 million, or 10.1%, from $1.253 billion at June 30, 1999.

In closing, Mr. Pearson stated "We are pleased that despite intense competition from all financial service sectors we are continuing to increase our deposits and loans at a strong pace while maintaining our credit quality. Intense interest spread pressure has limited a corresponding increase in current earnings but we continue to believe that we are building a strong base for the future. Our service oriented o·ri·ent
