Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

On October 12, 2004, the Registrant announced its results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2004. A copy of the related press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On October 12, 2004, the Registrant confirmed comfort with its previously stated range of $3.75 to $3.80 per share for 2004 fully diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), but noted that expectations are currently on the lower end of the stated range. The Registrant also confirmed that, exclusive of one-time expenses associated with the proposed acquisition of American Horizons Bancorp, Inc., the 2005 EPS comfort range remains $4.05 to $4.15 per share. EPS guidance for the remainder of 2004 through 2005 included a review of the Registrant’s loan and deposit pipelines, growth prospects, interest rate positioning with the expected interest rate environment, credit quality, pricing strategies and competitive reaction, investments for the future and other factors. Inherent assumptions noted were the use of the forward curve as a guide for future interest rates and relative stability in net charge-offs. The assumptions did not consider the impact of other acquisition opportunities or the expensing of stock options. A copy of the related press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
