   Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2007 totaled $16.8
million, an increase of $3.8 million, or 29%, over the $13.0 million

margin. For the year ended December 31, 2007, net interest income
totaled $59.5 million, up $6.7 million, or 13%, over the $52.8 million

up 57 basis points over the 3.03% figure recorded in the fourth
quarter of 2006, and compared to 3.36% for the third quarter of 2007.
The improvement in net interest margin is the result of a significant
reduction in the Company's deposit and total cost of funds.

million in the fourth quarter of 2007, an increase of $4.0 million, or
30%, over the fourth quarter one year ago. This figure was up $1.7
million over net interest income on a fully taxable basis recorded in
the third quarter of 2007.

   Net Interest Income and Rate/Volume Analysis

   As shown below, the increase in net interest income on a tax
equivalent basis was due to volume increases in the Company's earning
assets, as well as improvement in the net interest margin.

*T

   Noninterest income for the year 2007 increased $4.1 million, or
22%, from $18.8 million in 2006. Like the fourth quarter, the increase
was due to growth in the level of deposit charges and service fees.

   Noninterest Expenses

   Noninterest expenses for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $19.2
million, up 20%, over $16.0 million one year ago. The increases in
noninterest expenses for the quarter were widespread across all
categories, reflecting the Company's continued growth. Included in
noninterest expenses for the fourth quarter of 2007 are three full
months of costs related to two new stores opened in November 2006, as
well as costs for the three new stores all opened during the third
quarter 2007. Also contributing to the increase was a higher level of
regulatory expenses as well as FDIC insurance assessments that were
reintroduced to the banking industry starting January 1, 2007.
Excluding regulatory expenses and FDIC insurance assessments, total
noninterest expenses were up 11% for the fourth quarter of 2007 over
the same period in 2006 and were up 15% for the year 2007 vs. 2006.

   Noninterest expenses for the year 2007 totaled $70.8 million, up
$11.5 million, or 19%, over the $59.3 million recorded during the same
period in 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to the same
costs as discussed in the previous paragraph.

   FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION

   The Company may, from time to time, make written or oral
"forward-looking statements", including statements contained in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(including the annual report on Form 10-K and the exhibits thereto),
in its reports to stockholders and in other communications by the
Company, which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the
"safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995.

   These forward-looking statements include statements with respect
to the Company's beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations,
anticipations, estimates and intentions that are subject to
significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on
various factors (some of which are beyond the Company's control). The
words "may", "could", "should", "would", "believe", "anticipate",
"estimate", "expect", "intend", "plan" and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. The following
factors, among others discussed in the Company's Form 10-K, could
cause the Company's financial performance to differ materially from
that expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements:

   --  the strength of the United States economy in general and the
        strength of the local economies in which the Company conducts
        operations;

   --  the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal
        policies, including interest rate policies of the Board of
        Governors of the Federal Reserve System;

   --  inflation;

   --  interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;

   --  the timely development of competitive new products and
        services by the Company and the acceptance of such products
        and services by customers;

   --  the willingness of customers to substitute competitors'
        products and services for the Company's products and services
        and vice versa;

   --  the impact of changes in financial services' laws and
        regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking,
        securities and insurance);

   --  the impact of the rapid growth of the Company;

   --  the Company's dependence on Commerce Bancorp, Inc. (and its
        successor) to provide various services to the Company and the
        costs associated with securing alternate providers of such
        services;

   --  changes in the Company's allowance for loan losses;

   --  effect of terrorists attacks and threats of actual war;

   --  unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings;

   --  changes in consumer spending and saving habits;

   --  and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved
        in the foregoing.

   Because such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those
expressed or implied by such statements. The Company cautions that the
foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company does
not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether
written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of
the Company. For information on subsequent events refer to the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
