Comparing the three months ending June 30, 2008 to the same period last year, net interest income increased $6.7 million, or 28.4%. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net interest income increased $8.4 million, or 17.8%, from the year ago period, due to the acquisition of Slade's Ferry Bancorp.

The provision for loan losses was $1.9 million and $3.2 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $584,000 and $1.5 million for the year ago comparative periods. Net charge-offs were $1.3 million and $2.4 million for the three and six month periods of 2008 as compared to $748,000 and $1.6 million for the three and six month periods of 2007.
Non-interest income increased by $1.5 million, or 18.3%, and by $1.9 million, or 12.1%, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. Excluding the net losses on sale of securities during the six months ended June 30, 2008, non-interest income grew by $2.5 million, or 16.0%, when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007.

The change in non-interest income is attributable to the following:
* Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $432,000, or 12.2%, and by $657,000, or 9.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods in 2007, primarily due to the Slades acquisition.
* Wealth management revenue increased by $934,000, or 42.8%, and $1.8 million, or 45.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods in 2007. Assets under management at June 30, 2008 were $1.3 billion, an increase of $355.5 million, or 39.7%, as compared to June 30, 2007. On November 1, 2007 Rockland Trust completed its acquisition of assets from the Lincoln, Rhode Island-based O'Connell Investment Services, Inc. The closing of this transaction added approximately $200 million to assets under management.
* Mortgage banking income increased by $140,000, or 17.1%, and $479,000, or 30.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods in 2007. The balance of the mortgage servicing asset was $2.0 million and loans serviced amounted to $259.3 million as of June 30, 2008, as compared to a mortgage servicing asset balance of $2.3 million and loans serviced amounting to $270.5 million at June 30, 2007.
* There were no gains or losses on the sale of securities during the second quarter of 2008. There was a net loss on the sale of securities of $609,000 during the first quarter of 2008. Of this loss, $742,000 is associated with the sale of the majority of the Slades securities portfolio, which was offset by gains on the sale of agency securities recorded in the quarter. There were no gains or losses on the sale of securities during the first six months of 2007.
* Other non-interest income decreased by $243,000, or (22.5%), and $648,000, or (27.1%), for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease year-to-date is primarily attributable to declines in 1031 exchange income, which is due to the slowdown in national commercial real estate markets, and trading asset losses.
Non-interest expense increased by $3.3 million, or 14.2%, and by $5.9 million, or 13.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods in 2007. When adjusting the three and six month periods for the items listed below, non-interest expense increased $4.3 million, or 19.5%, and $6.9 million, or 16.2%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2007. See the table below for a reconciliation of non-interest expense as adjusted:

* Salaries and employee benefits increased by $1.9 million, or 14.9%, and $2.9 million, or 11.2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods in 2007. The increase in salaries and benefits is attributable to the Slades acquisition in the first quarter of 2008, annual merit increases, incentive programs, and the O'Connell acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2007.
* Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $628,000, or 24.1%, and $977,000, or 18.9%, for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods in 2007. The increase is mainly due to an increase in rent expense due to two new branch locations, increased cost for snow removal for the year-to-date period, utility costs for the quarter-to-date period, and the effects of the Slades acquisition.
* Data processing and facilities management expense increased by $219,000, or 18.2%, and $415,000, or 18.1%, for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods in 2007. The increase is partially a result of new functionality as well as an increase in volume due, in part, to the Slades acquisition during the first quarter of 2008.
* Merger and acquisition related expenditures totaled $376,000 and $1.1 million, for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2008, associated with the Slades acquisition in March 2008.
* Other non-interest expense increased by $141,000, or 2.2%, and $441,000, or 4.0%, for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods in 2007. The increase in the six-month period is primarily attributable to advertising expenses of $358,000, consulting fees of $218,000, and the amortization of intangible assets of $607,000, partially offset by a recovery on the WorldCom bond loss of $418,000.
The Company's effective tax rate was 27% and 25% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Total assets increased by $619.0 million, or 22.4%, to $3.4 billion at June 30, 2008 as compared to December 31, 2007. This increase is primarily a result of the closing of the Slades acquisition during the first quarter of 2008.
* Securities decreased by $18.9 million, or (3.7%), during the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to the sale of approximately $50 million in Government Sponsored Entities' securities resulting in a gain of $133,000 in January 2008. In addition, the Company sold the majority of Slades investment portfolio during the first quarter incurring a loss of $742,000. The ratio of securities to total assets as of June 30, 2008 was 14.4%, compared to 18.3% at December 31, 2007. The Company does not own any equity or debt issued by either the Federal National Mortgage Association or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.
* Total loans grew by $532.3 million, or 26.1%, during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The Slades acquisition added $471.2 million in loan growth, as shown in the following table:
(Dollars in Thousands) ------------------------------------------------- Organic June 30, Dec. 31, Slades Growth/ 2008 2007 Acquisition (Loss) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Loans Commercial and Commercial Real Estate Loans $1,494,659 $1,121,310 $ 316,081 $ 57,268 Business Banking 86,430 69,977 -- 16,453 Residential Real Estate 435,767 341,090 114,432 (19,755) Consumer - Home Equity 374,580 308,744 38,723 27,113 Consumer - Other 183,829 201,831 2,009 (20,011) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total Loans $2,575,265 $2,042,952 $ 471,245 $ 61,068 ========== ========== ========== ==========
Excluding the Slades acquisition, organic loan growth achieved in the first six months of 2008 amounted to $61.1 million, or 6.0% on an annualized basis, and was concentrated in the commercial and home equity lending categories, while the residential real estate and consumer (primarily indirect automobile lending) categories were reduced. Total commercial loans (including business banking) following the Slades acquisition now represent 61.4% of the total loan portfolio.
* During the second quarter of 2008, Rockland Trust completed a sale and leaseback transaction consisting of 17 branch properties and various individual office buildings. In total the Company sold and concurrently leased back $27.5 million in land and buildings with associated accumulated depreciation of $9.3 million. Net proceeds were $32.2 million, resulting in a gain of $13.2 million, net of transaction costs of $753,000. The gain will be deferred and amortized ratably over the lease terms of the individual buildings, which are either 10 or 15 years, through rent expense as a part of occupancy and equipment. The Company anticipates that the transaction will be immediately accretive to 2008 earnings.
Total deposits of $2.5 billion increased 22.1% at June 30, 2008 compared to $2.0 billion at December 31, 2007. Of the increase, $410.8 million is a result of the Slades acquisition. Excluding the impact of the acquisition, deposits grew at an annualized rate of 3.6%. See the table below regarding deposits derived from the Slades acquisition:

Borrowings increased by $73.1 million, or 14.5%, during the six months ending June 30, 2008, compared to December 31, 2007, attributable to the Slades acquisition and organic loan growth.
The Company reported a return on average assets and a return on average equity in the second quarter of 2008 of 0.97% and 10.70%, respectively, as compared to 0.85% and 10.44% for the same periods in 2007. Operating return on average assets and return on average equity in the second quarter of 2008 was 1.00% and 11.02%, respectively, as compared to 1.07% and 13.13% for the same periods in 2007.

The allowance for loan losses was $33.2 million at June 30, 2008 and $26.8 million at December 31, 2007. The majority of the increase in allowance for loan losses is due to the Slades acquisition. Nonperforming assets totaled $12.1 million at June 30, 2008, or 0.36% of total assets, as compared to $11.9 million reported at March 31, 2008, or 0.36% of total assets, and $8.3 million reported at December 31, 2007, or 0.30% of total assets.
