* Return on Average Equity, Tangible is a non-GAAP measure that we define
  and calculate as net income excluding intangible asset amortization, net
  of tax, divided by average equity less average intangible assets.  See
  financial tables for a reconciliation to the GAAP measure.

"The financial markets continue to create uncertainty for our economy and the financial services industry," said Robert D. Sznewajs, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Consistent with industry trends, the residential construction portfolio and our borrowers with significant ties to the residential housing sector are experiencing the most difficulty at this time. Positively, our term commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, home equity, and commercial construction portfolios have been relatively unaffected up to this point. The Company is very focused on managing through the challenges created in this environment while remaining committed to our core businesses that have been less affected by the current economic conditions. We have also consistently maintained our capital position in 'well capitalized' status under regulatory guidelines," said Sznewajs.
Financial Results:
Total loan balances increased to $2.154 billion at June 30, 2008, a modest 1% increase over the balance at June 30, 2007. Excluding two-step loan balances, year-over-year loan growth was $123 million, or nearly 7%, with growth concentrated in the commercial real estate and residential mortgage loan categories. Outstanding two-step loan balances at June 30, 2008, were $146 million, a decline of $111 million or 43% since June 30, 2007, and at quarter end represented less than 7% of total loans down from approximately 12% a year ago. Total credit remaining available on two-step commitments has fallen to less than $13 million. Second quarter 2008 average total deposits of $2.046 billion grew 1% or $29 million from the second quarter of 2007, with the majority of the increase in interest bearing demand deposit and certificate of deposit categories.
The second quarter 2008 net interest income of $23.7 million declined $5.0 million or 17% from the same quarter last year due to the substantial 96 basis point compression in the net interest margin. The net interest margin declined as a result of the lower value of non-interest bearing demand deposits and a 61 basis point contraction in the net interest spread. The combination of interest reversals on two-step loans and cost of carrying the nonaccrual two-step loan balances reduced the spread by approximately 37 basis points. The remaining 24 basis point contraction in the spread resulted from competitive pressures for interest bearing deposits, lower construction loan fees and the aggressive decrease in the Federal Funds Rate in early 2008, which negatively affected our loan yields.
As shown in the following table, interest reversals related to two-step loans have had a significant adverse effect on the net interest margin in 2008. Excluding the effects of two-step loan interest reversals, the net interest margin would have been approximately 4.19% and 4.61% in the two most recent quarters, respectively. Compared to first quarter 2008, the net interest margin after adjustments for interest reversals relating to the two-step program contracted 42 basis points with approximately equal impact from lower value of non-interest bearing demand deposits and deposit rate lagging the decline in the market interest rates and loan yields.
The following table reconciles the net interest margin for the periods shown to the net interest margin excluding the effect of interest reversals relating to two-step loans.

it easier to compare the Company's performance across the periods
shown by highlighting the impact from material factors.

Second quarter 2008 non-interest income of $9.0 million increased $.3 million or 4% from the same period in 2007. Both payment system and deposit service charge revenues showed excellent growth. Payment systems revenues increased $.3 million or 16% over the second quarter of 2007, with particularly solid growth in card-related revenues. Total deposit service charge revenues grew $.7 million or 24% over the same period, primarily attributable to the 8% combined growth in consumer and business transaction accounts, higher transaction volumes, and lower earnings credit rates on business analysis accounts. Gain on sales of loans declined 20% or $.2 million in the current quarter as a result of reduced activity in the residential mortgage market. The uncertainty surrounding the economy generally and equity markets in particular negatively affected trust and investment revenues, which declined $.1 million or 7% from the same quarter 2007. Additionally, in the most recent quarter we recognized a $.2 million gain on sales of investment securities and recorded a negative valuation adjustment of $.3 million related to our other real estate owned ("OREO") properties. Compared to the first quarter of 2008, total non-interest income declined $1.2 million in the current quarter due to the first quarter VISA IPO gain of $.7 million and $.4 million higher gain on sale of securities.
Second quarter 2008 total non-interest expense of $23.3 million increased $1.8 million or 9% from the same period of 2007. Our personnel expense increased slightly; lower performance-related pay nearly offset annual merit increases, additional team members, and materially lower deferred construction loan origination costs. Other significant variances from the second quarter of 2007 included a $.5 million increase in legal expense, the majority of which relates to the two-step program, an increase in FDIC insurance premium expense of $.5 million, and $.5 million growth in expenses associated with the portfolio of OREO properties related to the two-step program. Compared to first quarter 2008, our total non-interest expense grew $1.1 million due to higher legal, FDIC insurance premium, and OREO expenses together with increased personnel and marketing expenses.
As a result of materially lower pre-tax income, the second quarter 2008 provision for income taxes as a percentage of pre-tax net income was 21.2%, down from 34.5% during the same quarter in 2007.
Credit Quality:
The Company recorded a second quarter 2008 provision for credit losses of $6.0 million, up $2.5 million from the same quarter in 2007, and a decline of $2.7 million from the first quarter 2008. The provision related to the two-step portfolio was $1.9 million in the most recent second quarter. The Company continues to believe that the assumptions made in establishing the allowance for credit losses for the two-step portfolio at December 31, 2007, have generally proven sound to date based on information currently available to it, including data acquired from 10 pending sales and 27 sales that had been completed as of June 30, 2008. The provision associated with loans other than two-step loans was $4.1 million. In the second quarter, the combination of risk rating changes, net charge-offs, and increases in our general valuation percentages in our allowance model contributed to this provision expense.
Total net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2008 were $11.4 million, of which $8.5 million related to the two-step portfolio. The charge-offs associated with the two-step portfolio in the second quarter were substantially applied against the allowance for credit losses for the portfolio established at year end 2007. The second quarter 2008 net charge-offs for loans other than two-step loans were $2.9 million, or .54% (annualized) of average total loans, up from $1.5 million and .28%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2007.
At June 30, 2008, the total allowance for credit losses was $37.1 million, including $5.3 million associated with the two-step loan portfolio and $31.8 million related to the remainder of the loan portfolio. The allowance for credit losses in the two-step portfolio at June 30, 2008, was 8.9% of total two-step commitments associated with two-step loans on accruing status as of June 30, 2008, as compared to 9.7% at year-end 2007 and 7.5% at March 31, 2008. The following table provides additional two-step loan and allowance for credit losses information.

The allowance for credit losses associated with loans other than two-step loans was 1.58% of such outstanding loan balances at June 30, 2008, up from 1.25% at December 31, 2007 and 1.55% at March 31, 2008.
Total non-performing assets were $147 million or 5.6% of total assets at June 30, 2008, up from $30 million and 1.1%, respectively, as of December 31, 2007 and $105 million and 4.0% as of March 31, 2008. Non-performing assets related to the two-step loan portfolio were $125 million or 4.8% of total assets, up from $24 million and .9% at year-end 2007 and $94 million and 3.6% at March 31, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, $21 million in charge-offs had been taken against the nonaccrual two-step loans. The current two-step nonaccrual balance of $98.7 million reflects these charge-offs. Within the nonaccrual two-step loan balance, $9.1 million in loans were current on loan payments and $27.8 million were 30-89 days past due, and the remainder were over 90 days past due. At June 30, 2008, there were $22.2 million of non-performing assets other than in the two-step portfolio or .84% of total assets, up from $5.9 million and .22% at December 31, 2007 and $10.3 million and .39% at March 31, 2008. The nonaccrual balances in the residential builder construction and non-standard mortgage segments each grew $4 million during the second quarter. These additional nonaccruals were measured for impairment and written down to estimated fair value net of selling costs. Total delinquent loans were $14.9 million or .69% of total loans at end of the second quarter 2008, down from $44.5 million and 2.05% at year end 2007, and $27.1 million and 1.23% at March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to lower delinquencies within the two-step, residential builder construction, and commercial portfolios.
