 and trading losses of $1,832,000 as the Company repositioned its balance sheet for an anticipated rising interest rate environment.

Management of the community-based bank holding company announced plans to more aggressively pursue loan business development initiatives in an effort to increase earnings. Historically, the Company has had a relatively higher percentage of its earning assets invested in securities, rather than loans, when compared with peer bank holding companies. At December December: see month.  31, 2003, loans comprised 52.4% of the Company's earning assets, versus an average of 68-70% for its bank holding companies peer group. At March 31, 2004, loans as a percentage of earning assets were 55.1%.

"In anticipation of higher interest rates in 2004, we repositioned our balance sheet to protect our longer-term profitability," said Brad A. Luecke, President and Chief Executive Officer. "As a result, we reduced exposure to longer-term securities and maintained a substantial amount of cash in very short-term Short-term

At the same time, we have made a commitment to increase the ratio of loans to total earning assets closer to peer levels during the next 12-18 months.

 to reposition its assets toward a heavier concentration of loans, a move that has attracted considerable customer attention in the past several months.

"Our past corporate commitment to strong pricing discipline on loans served us well on some levels, but we bypassed many profitable and high-quality lending opportunities as a result of this strategy," Luecke noted. "We have made a strategic decision to adopt more competitive loan pricing levels, and we are backing up that strategy with the hiring of new senior lending officers and support staff. We will also support our business development activities with expanded marketing efforts to increase our visibility in highly competitive markets."

Luecke indicated the initial results of the new pricing strategy and business development efforts are encouraging: "Already, we are seeing a significant increase in the Company's loan origination The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.

 pipeline. New loan commitments have increased substantially in April." Since March 31, 2004, the Company's loan pipeline has grown with $44.1 million of additional loans commitments. Luecke said: "Of course, not all commitments are transformed into loans and loan growth will also be affected by existing loans which are paid off during the course of the year. Overall, we expect to realize loan growth in the 7-11% range through the end of the year."

The ratio of net overhead expense to average assets increased from 1.27% in the first quarter in 2003 to 1.76% for the first quarter of 2004. The increase in the net overhead ratio was due primarily to trading losses during the first quarter of 2004. The Company's efficiency ratio rose to 66.97% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to 48.38% for the same period in 2003. The increase in the efficiency ratio was due primarily to the decrease in net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis and trading losses during the quarter.
