    "Each of AAMG's five divisions experienced production gains, most notably
AAMG's Standard Federal Bank and LaSalle Bank Retail Lending divisions, along
with the National Lending Center," said Michael Maher, group senior vice
president.
    "AAMG's year-to-date production volume is up nearly 50 percent from this
same time last year," Maher continued.  "In short, given the continued
favorable interest rate environment that has characterized the current year,
and AAMG's focus on the strategic development and enhancement of each business
channel, production is on target to match or possibly exceed 2002's record-
breaking total."
