FOCUS GENERATES RESULTS 04 principal non-banking subsidiaries, German American Financial Advisors & Trust Company and German American Insurance, Inc., our percentage of revenue generated from these specific areas of non-interest income sources ranks our organization near the top of similarly-sized banking companies nationwide. The creation and development of this strong and stable revenue component should continue to grow in importance in the coming years as we further expand these segments of our business, both geographically and across a broader spectrum of our existing customer base. 2005 was likewise a very good year in terms of improved operating fundamentals within our core banking segment. The dollar value of our net interest income earned during 2005 was the highest level reported since 2000 and our net interest margin of 3.92% was our highest level since 1998. Again, these very strong operating results were the fulfillment of our efforts to maintain a long-term perspective during recent years' historical low levels of interest rates. We positioned your Company to be poised to take advantage of the opportunities we believed would occur in a stronger and more normal economic environment. Clearly, our long-term perspective and prior years' balance sheet positioning was rewarded during this past year. Additionally, our continued focus on expansion of our commercial banking capabilities resulted in the eighth consecutive year of growth within the Company's portfolio of commercial/agricultural loans while our retail loan portfolio, consisting of residential mortgage loans and consumer loans, also demonstrated improvement in dollars outstanding. Within the funding portion of our balance sheet, transaction account deposits continued to demonstrate solid growth. This important component of our source of funds, which generally carry a much lower cost than other funding sources, is a key driver of the overall franchise value of our banking network. MARK A. SCHROEDER President and CEO of German American Bancorp DEAR SHAREHOLDERS We're very pleased to convey in this 2005 Summary Annual Report that your Company achieved record performance during the year, both in terms of net income and earnings per share. The theme of this year's Summary Annual Report- “Focus Generates Results”- appropriately builds upon last year's Summary Annual Report message of “Focused on our Core Strengths”. Our record level of financial performance during 2005 was the direct result of our steadfast commitment to and unwavering focus on the development of those critical operating fundamentals which we believe will enhance long-term shareholder value. Those efforts, put forth in 2005 and in the past several years, culminated in the achievement of these record results. It is extremely gratifying for our GABC team to have been able to deliver this record financial performance for the benefit of you, our shareholders. I will address several of our key accomplishments throughout the balance of my letter to shareholders and encourage you to review our 2005 results of operations in further detail in this Summary Annual Report and in our SEC 10-K Report.
