The Savannah Bancorp (NasdaqNM: SAVB) reported net income for the
second quarter 2005 of $2,184,000, up 71 percent from $1,277,000 in
the second quarter 2004. Net income per diluted share was 51 cents
compared to 30 cents per diluted share in the second quarter of
2004, an increase of 70 percent. For the second quarter 2005,
return on average equity was 20.51 percent, return on average
assets was 1.29 percent and the efficiency ratio was 52.20 percent.
For the first six months of 2005, net income was $3,965,000, a 64
percent increase over $2,417,000 in the first six months of 2004.
Earnings per diluted share for the first six months of 2005 were 93
cents, an increase of 63 percent over earnings per diluted share of
57 cents over the same period in 2004. For the first six months of
2005, return on average equity was 19.10 percent, return on average

Prior year per share amounts have been restated to reflect the

percent stock dividend in December 2004. Net interest income
increased $1,927,000, or 41 percent, in the second quarter 2005
over the same period in 2004. Earning assets growth of 22 percent
and nine consecutive prime rate increases of 25 basis points each
over the prior 12 months resulted in significantly higher net
interest margins for the second quarter and the first six months of
2005. The Company's efficiency ratio improved because more revenues
are being realized from investments made in previous years in
markets, personnel and technology. Loans, excluding loans held for
sale, totaled $572 million at June 30, 2005, compared with $444
million one year earlier, an increase of 29 percent. Deposits
totaled $588 million at June 30, 2005 and $449 million at June 30,
2004, an increase of 31 percent. As of June 30, 2005, demand,
savings and money market accounts had increased 20 percent over the
prior year as a result of continued focus on core deposit growth.
Total assets increased 21 percent to $689 million at June 30, 2005,
up from $568 million a year earlier. Nonperforming assets increased
to $733,000, or 0.13 percent of total loans, at June 30, 2005 from
$644,000, or 0.12 percent of loans, at March 31, 2005 and $510,000,
or 0.11 percent of total loans, at June 30, 2004. Net loan losses
for the first half of 2005 were $7,000. Provision for credit losses
for the first six months of 2005 was $820,000 and $875,000 for the
first six months of 2004. At June 30, 2005, Harbourside Mortgage
Company, a division of The Savannah Bank, N.A., had total loans and
loans held for sale of $116 million, up from $49 million a year
earlier. Harbourside earnings for the second quarter of 2005 were
$341,000 and $478,000 for the first six months of 2005. This
compares with second quarter 2004 earnings of $11,000 and a loss of
$80,000 for the first six months of 2004. In a quarterly letter to
shareholders, G. Mike Odom, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, and John
