     Net operating earnings on a per diluted share basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $0.47, a decrease of $0.03, or (6.0%), compared to the same period in 2006. Net operating earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $6.9 million, a decrease of (11.0%) from the same period in 2006.
     Comparing the three months ending March 31, 2007 to the same period last year, net interest income decreased $2.3 million or (8.8%), with the decrease primarily attributable to a smaller balance sheet and an increase in the cost of deposits. The net interest margin for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 was 3.84%, as compared to 3.88% for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
     The Company’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans increased to 1.34%, an increase of 2 basis points from the 1.32% reported at December 31, 2006. The provision for loan losses for the quarter ending March 31, 2007 was $891,000, an increase of $141,000 compared to the same period in 2006. Net charge-offs were also $891,000 for the quarter.
     As previously announced on January 1, 2007 Rockland Trust Company completed an asset acquisition and established a wholly-owned subsidiary named Compass Exchange Advisors LLC (“CEA”), to offer qualified intermediary, like-kind exchange services pursuant to Internal Revenue Code section 1031 to corporate, institutional, and individual property owners. The immediately accretive effects of the CEA transaction are reflected in the non-interest income and balance sheet reported for the quarter.
     Non-interest income increased by $1.4 million, or 21.4%, during the three months ended March 31, 2007, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Excluding securities losses and Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) benefit proceeds in the first quarter of 2006, non-interest income grew by $919,000, or 13.4%, in 2007 when compared to 2006. See the table below for a reconciliation of non-interest income as adjusted.

      at March 31, 2007 were $847.8 million, an increase of $148.4 million, or 21.2%, as compared to March 31, 2006.
 
  Ø   Mortgage banking income decreased by $44,000, or (5.4%), for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006. The balance of the mortgage servicing asset is $2.3 million and loans serviced amounted to $281.7 million as March 31, 2007.
 
  Ø   There were no gains or losses on the sale of securities during the first quarter of 2007. A $1.8 million loss on the sale of securities was recorded in the first quarter of 2006.
 
  Ø   Other non-interest income increased by $452,000, or 52.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006, largely attributable to revenue associated with the Compass Exchange Advisors LLC acquisition.

Included in salaries and benefits are executive early retirement costs amounting to $406,000. The remaining increase in salaries and benefits is attributable to annual merit increases, the CEA acquisition and other new hires that support growth initiatives.
 
  Ø   Occupancy and equipment related expense decreased by $159,000, or (5.9%), for the quarter ending March 31, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006, mainly due to decreased expenses for equipment maintenance and snow removal.
 
  Ø   Other non-interest expense decreased by $175,000, or (3.6%), for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the comparative three month period is attributable to a number of items, including advertising of $202,000, education and training of $63,000,

      recruitment of $54,000 and ATM/debit card processing of $43,000 offset by increased expenses in contract labor of $73,000, examinations and audits of $72,000, and consultant fees of $49,000.
          Total assets decreased by $89.0 million, or (3.2%), from $2.8 billion at December 31, 2006 to $2.7 billion at March 31, 2007. This decrease is due to intentional decreases in the Company’s security portfolio and certain loan categories due to a combination of the flat yield curve environment and the profitability characteristics of these asset classes.
  Ø   Securities decreased by $31.6 million, or (6.1%), during the three months ending March 31, 2007. This decrease resulted mainly from the call of $14.4 million in trust preferred securities and normal year to date runoff on the portfolio. The ratio of securities to total assets as of March 31, 2007 was 17.7%, as compared to 18.3% at December 31, 2006 and 22.5% at March 31, 2006.
 
  Ø   Total loans decreased by $27.7 million, or (1.4%), during the three months ended March 31, 2007. Total commercial loans decreased by $8.1 million, or (0.8%), with commercial construction comprising most of the change with a decrease of $5.5 million, or (4.6%). Consumer loans decreased $7.5 million or (1.4%), with the auto loan portfolio decreasing by $14.8 million, or (7.2%), partially offset by a $8.4 million, or 3.0%, increase in home equity lending. Business banking loans totaled $64.6 million, an increase of $4.7 million, or 7.8%, and residential real estate loans decreased $16.7 million, or (4.2%), during the three months of 2007.
          Total deposits of $2.1 billion at March 31, 2007 decreased $7.4 million, or (0.4%), compared to December 31, 2006.
          Borrowings decreased by $76.3 million, or (15.5%), during the three months ending March 31, 2007 as excess cash flow from the securities portfolio and certain loan categories were used to decrease wholesale borrowing.
          The Company reported return on average assets and return on average equity in the first quarter of 2007 of 0.96% and 11.73%, respectively, as compared to 1.07% and 13.74% for the same period in 2006.
          Stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2007 totaled $221.5 million, as compared to $229.8 million at December 31, 2006. The Tier 1 leverage capital ratio at March 31, 2007 was 8.11%, maintaining the Company’s well-capitalized position.
          As previously announced on December 14, 2006 the Company’s Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program to repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. During the quarter ending March 31, 2007, the Company repurchased 411,847 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $32.45.

     This press release contains certain “forward-looking statements” with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company. Actual results may differ from those contemplated by these statements. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

     This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. These non-GAAP measures may exclude significant gains or losses that are unusual in nature, such as securities gains. Because these gains and losses and their impact on the Company’s performance are difficult to predict, management believes that presentations of adjusted financial measures excluding the impact of these gains and losses provide useful information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Company. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies.
