| Net interest income before provision for credit losses was $36.3 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to $35.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2005 and $31.9 million for the same quarter in 2005. Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2006 was 4.85 percent, compared to 4.68 percent for the fourth quarter of 2005 and 4.72 percent for the same quarter in 2005, as the Company increased loan production and absorbed excess liquidity. |
| The provision for credit losses was $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to $1.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2005 and $136,000 for the same quarter of 2005.
