Our efforts to maintain an efficient cost structure and hold positions open for Redwood Empire employees resulted in a 3 percent decline in expenses, which improved our efficiency ratio from the prior year," continued Payne. Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis was $54.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to $54.5 million in the prior quarter and $54.8 million in the same quarter a year ago.

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2004 totaled $24.3 million compared to $24.5 million in the prior quarter and $25.2 million in the year ago quarter.
