3rd Quarter 2008 Recap 7 Positive Factors Solid growth in net interest income and the net interest margin on both a year-over-year and sequential quarterly basis. Certain categories of non-interest income remain strong. Balance sheet generally remains structured to benefit from relatively low short-term interest rates and/or a steep yield curve. Fed liquidity beneficial - able to borrow $100 million at 1.11% via Term Auction Facility (week of October 20th). Improvements in certain commercial loan credit metrics. Challenges Credit costs. Securities losses. Weak Michigan economy. |
