For the three months ended September 30, 2003, service charges on deposit accounts increased 13.0% as compared to the same period in 2002.

Investment securities were $28.2 million, an increase of $3.1 million from June 30, 2003 and a decrease of $3.8 million from September 30, 2002, reflecting an increase in short-maturity and current cash flowing instruments.
