"Inlight of this environment, I am pleased that the September 2008year-to-date RMG net income, net of the one-time deferred compensationcharge, is greater than the comparable net income of September 2007year-to-date results. This is attributable to a diversified loan portfoliothat is not overly concentrated in the most troubled credit sectors and ourability to keep our funding costs low."
