Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On July 27, 2006, the Company announced its decision to close its Minneapolis, Minnesota and Hazelwood, Missouri branches and to consolidate its Fort Wayne, Indiana branch into its Indianapolis, Indiana branch operations. These actions are being taken to improve the Company’s operating results and optimize long-term returns for its shareholders. The Company expects all three actions to be completed in the third quarter of 2006.

The Company expects to incur approximately $1.6 million in operating charges related to these actions during the remainder of 2006, including approximately $.9 million for remaining lease rentals on the three facilities, approximately $.5 million for asset write-offs and transfer costs and approximately $.2 million for employee severance costs. The Company expects $1.2 million of these charges to be cash payments, including the remaining lease rentals to be paid out over the terms of the various leases in 2006, 2007 and 2008.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking information as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, except to the extent that they contain historical facts, are forward-looking, including statements regarding the expected timing and amount of charges, including the timing and amount of the cash portion of such charges, that the Company will incur in connection with its branch closure and consolidation actions. Such forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions, judgments and uncertainties.
