 income.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the quarter amounted to $9.3 million, an increase of $509 thousand or 5.8% as compared to same quarter in 2003. For the nine-month period, non-interest expense amounted to $27.0 million, an increase of $4.0 million, or 17.4%, as compared to the same period last year. The increase for each reporting period was due largely to additional salary and benefit expense. The increase in salary and benefit expense for the nine months was primarily a result of the personnel expense at the eleven Bridge View branches being included for the nine months in 2004 versus only five months in 2003. For the three months, the rise in salary and benefit costs was primarily due to an increase in our commercial lending and credit areas and normal increases related to salaries and benefits.

Total Loans

At September 30, 2004, total loans were approximately $927.2 million, an increase of $130.6 million, or 16.4%, as compared to December December: see month.  31, 2003. Growth occurred in both the commercial and consumer portfolios which increased $82.3 million and $52.7 million, respectively. The Company's non-performing assets increased to $9.6 million at September 30, 2004 as compared to $8.8 million at December 31, 2003. Non-performing assets represented 1.04% and 1.10%, of the total loans and foreclosed and repossessed assets outstanding at the end of the respective periods.
