Total assets, loans and deposits of acquired banks at June 30, 2006, were $845 million, $642 million and $606 million, respectively. We added a total of seven full service branches in Las Vegas, Henderson, Reno and Mesquite, Nev., through these mergers. Financial Performance Western Alliance Bancorporation reported net income of $11.3 million for the second quarter 2006, up 34.1 percent from $8.4 million for the first quarter 2006 and 72.6 percent from $6.6 million for the second quarter 2005. Diluted earnings per share were $0.39, an increase of 18.2% from $0.33 for the first quarter 2006 and 21.9 percent from $0.32 for the same period one year ago. Net income and fully-diluted earnings per share are net of $0.3 million and $0.01, respectively, of organizational costs related to our proposed expansion into Northern California. Our fully-diluted shares outstanding were 29.0 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared to 20.5 million for the same period last year. A significant factor in the 41.6 percent increase in our fully-diluted shares outstanding was the issuance of 4.2 million shares in our IPO which took place on June 30, 2005. Loans grew $419 million, including organic growth of $185 million, to $2.77 billion at June 30, 2006, from March 31, 2006, and $1.32 billion, including organic growth of $678 million, from June 30, 2005. Deposits grew $241 million, including organic growth of $57 million, to $3.20 billion from March 31, 2006, and $1.01 billion, including organic growth of $403 million, from June 30, 2005. "Despite the challenges facing the banking industry of a flat yield curve and shrinking liquidity, we continued our exceptional balance sheet growth and earnings performance in the second quarter," said Robert Sarver, chairman and chief executive officer of Western Alliance. "Strong organic loan growth for the quarter of $185 million again exceeded our expectations. Although our organic deposit growth of $57 million was shy of our $100 million quarterly goal, our lower-cost funding was augmented by a $48 million increase in repurchase agreements from customers. Our earnings per share were up over 20 percent in the second quarter compared to last year, even though the 4.2 million shares from our initial public offering were not in last year's share count." Sarver continued, "In part benefited by our accretive acquisitions, our interest margin increased 21 basis points and our efficiency ratio improved by nearly four percentage points compared to last quarter. Importantly, our asset quality remains exceptional with virtually zero non-performing assets and delinquent loans, and net recoveries year-to-date. Our expansion plans remain robust with entry into the East Bay and Northern Arizona in the coming months and continued rollout of new offices in our existing markets. Our Service Center in Las Vegas is expected to open by the end of this quarter, enabling us to increase our product array to our client base."
