               because the expenditures are both recurring and                        
               integral to the business of the banks, they are

               incurred in the creation of loans.  These loans were                   
               separate and distinct assets that generated revenue                    
               over a period beyond the current taxable year.  The                    
               expenditures are not currently deductible under sec.
