Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Net Income Growth: Net income increased by approximately 2.1% year-over-year, driven by a reduction in the provision for loan losses and higher non-interest income.
- Non-Interest Income Surge: Total other income rose 30.83% ($1.627 million increase), primarily due to a $1.342 million increase in gains on the sale of loans. This was fueled by lower interest rates driving refinancing activity and the sale of nearly $35 million in residential mortgage loans.
- Expense Increase: Non-interest expenses increased 14.14% ($1.866 million), attributed to higher commissions for mortgage loan originators and staff additions.
- Deposit Decline: Total deposits decreased by over $7.6 million compared to December 31, 2000, largely due to a reduction in negotiable Certificates of Deposit from municipalities.
- Asset Reallocation: Proceeds from loan sales and security maturities were utilized to fund growth in consumer loans and mortgage warehouse loans.

- Stock Split: A three-for-one stock split was authorized on October 16, 2001, payable to shareholders of record as of October 31, 2001. Authorized common stock was increased from 5 million to 15 million shares.
