Joe Boyle, Affinity's President and Chief Executive Officer,
stated, "Our third quarter financial results showed improvement
over the corresponding period in 2000. The current low interest
rate environment has greatly contributed to an increase in mortgage
processing revenue. The overall improvement in our financial results
was also helped by our continued focus on reducing our cost structure.
During the remainder of the year we will continue to focus on
expense control and improving our working capital position by
attempting to take advantage of the favorable interest rate environment
to generate additional mortgage processing revenues."
