Fortunately, the home mortgage market remains robust in a very challenging economy. We believe our strategy of focusing on what we do well and not trying to be all things to all people will continue to pay dividends for years to come. Notwithstanding our results, your company continues to strive for improvement and the second quarter of 2001 is no exception. Our second quarter's improved results over the very attractive results in the first quarter of 2001 is gratifying. As a result, the year-to-date numbers are right on target."

The allowance for loan losses stands at $56.9 million as of June 30, 2001 and represents 3.76% of loans outstanding. Non-performing assets were $11.0 million at the end of the second quarter.
