For the six months ended June 30, 1999 interest income was $52.6 million, compared to $52.4 million for the same prior year period. The decreaseincreases in interest income waswere due to a decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets, which declined to 7.01% on average in the first quarter of 1999, from 7.20% on average in the first quarter of 1998.

The increases in average interest-earning assets were largely offset by a decline in the yield on average interest-earning assets, which declined to 7.00% and 7.01% on average for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, from 7.12% and 7.16% on average in the same prior year periods.

The Company's focus on lower cost core deposit growth has contributed to this decline, as core deposits represented 35.3% and 35.1%, respectively, of average interest-bearing deposits for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to $962.1 million32.9% and 32.7%, respectively, for the same prior year quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCESLiquidity and Capital Resources The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and other borrowings and, to a lesser extent, investment maturities and proceeds from the sale of loans. While scheduled amortization of loans is a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises, including an overnight line of credit and advances from the FHLB. At March 31,June 30, 1999, the Company had $44.0$27.0 million of outstanding overnight borrowings from the FHLB, representing an increasea decrease from $30.0 million at December 31, 1998. The Company utilizes the overnight line from time to time to fund short-term liquidity needs. The Company also borrowed $279.4$298.1 million at March 31,June 30, 1999 through securities sold under agreements to repurchase, a slight decreasean increase from $282.1 million at December 31, 1998. These borrowings were used to fund a wholesale leverage strategy designed to improve returns on invested capital. 8 The Company's cash needs for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 1999, were primarily provided by maturities of investment securities available for sale, principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, FHLB borrowings through securities sold under agreements to repurchase and proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans held for sale. The cash was principally utilized for loan originations, purchases of investment and mortgage-backed securities and the purchase of treasury stock. For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 1998, the cash needs of the Company were primarily satisfied by maturities of investment securities available for sale, principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities and increased deposits.deposits including a deposit acquisition. The cash provided was principally used for investing activities, which included the purchase of investment and mortgage-backed securities and the origination of loans. Federal regulations require the Bank to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets. The required percentage has varied from time to time based upon economic conditions and savings flows and is currently 4% of net withdrawable savings deposits and borrowings payable on demand or in one year or less during the preceding calendar month. Liquid assets for purposes of this ratio include cash, accrued interest receivable, certain time deposits, U.S. Treasury and Government agencies and other securities and obligations generally having remaining maturities of less than five years. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Bank's operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. As of March 31,June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Bank's liquidity ratios were 12.2%10.3% and 12.5%, respectively, both in excess of the minimum regulatory requirement.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKQuantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk The Company's interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through the use of an interest rate risk (IRR) model. Based on internal IRR modeling management does not believe that there has been a materialthe Company's one year gap at June 30, 1999 was negative 14.4% as compared to negative 10.6% at December 31, 1998. Additionally, the table below sets forth the Company's exposure to interest rate risk as measured by the change in the Company'snet portfolio value ("NPV") and net interest income under varying rate sensitivity fromshocks as of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 to March 31, 1999.1998. All methods used to measure interest rate sensitivity involve the use of assumptions, which may tend to oversimplify the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The Company's interest rate sensitivity should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. 10At June 30, 1999, the generally higher interest rates in effect for fixed rate mortgage loans reduced prepayment activity in the Company's loans receivable and mortgage-backed securities portfolios, effectively extending the average lives of the loans and securities. 11
