See accompanying notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
(1) Basis of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PFF Bancorp, Inc. (the "Bancorp") and its subsidiary PFF Bank & Trust (collectively, "the Company"). The Company's business is conducted primarily through PFF Bank & Trust and its subsidiary, Pomona Financial Services, Inc (collectively, "the Bank"). Pomona Financial Services, Inc. includes the accounts of Diversified Services, Inc. and PFF Financial Services, Inc. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation.
The results of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 2001.
(2) New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction.
Under SFAS No. 133, an entity that elects to apply hedge accounting is required to establish at the inception of the hedge the method it will use for assessing the effectiveness of the hedging derivative and the measurement approach of determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge. Those methods must be consistent with the entity's approach to managing risk.
This statement was to be effective for all quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 however, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137 which has delayed the implementation by one year. In June 2000, SFAS No. 133 was further amended by SFAS No. 138. SFAS No. 138 addresses a limited number of issues causing implementation difficulties for numerous entities that apply SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 138 also amends SFAS No. 133 for the decisions reached by the Derivatives Implementation Group Process. Management does not expect any impact from implementation of SFAS No. 133.
In September 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 ("SFAS No. 140") to replace SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for transfer and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities". SFAS No. 140 provides the accounting and reporting guidance for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. SFAS No. 140 will be the authoritative accounting literature for : (1) securitization transactions involving financial assets; (2) sales of financial assets (including loan participations); (3) factoring transactions, (4) wash sales; (5) servicing assets and liabilities; (6) collateralized borrowing arrangements; (7) securities lending transactions; (8) repurchase agreements; and (9) extinguishment of liabilities. Management plans to implement the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 140 in 2000 and is currently evaluating the impact of implementation of SFAS No. 140 on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44 "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25" ("FIN 44"). This interpretation clarifies the definition of an employee for purposes of applying Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"), the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, the accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and the accounting for an exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. This interpretation is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in this interpretation cover specific events that occur after either December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. Management plans to implement the disclosure requirements of FIN 44 in 2000 and is currently evaluating the impact of implementation of FIN 44 on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
(3) Earnings per share
Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted from issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings.
The following table is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations for net earnings for PFF Bancorp, Inc.

(1) Options to purchase 10,094 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $20.93 per share were outstanding during the three month period ending September 30, 2000 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares. The options, which expire between October 22, 2002 and November 23, 2004, were still outstanding at September 30, 2000.
(2) Options to purchase 7,482 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $20.60 per share were outstanding during the three month period ending September 30, 1999 but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares. The options, which expire between October 22, 2002 and April 22, 2003 were still outstanding at September 30, 1999.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
General
The Company recorded net earnings of $7.1 million or $0.55 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to net earnings of $6.3 million or $0.47 per diluted share for the comparable period of 1999.
Net interest income was $23.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $22.2 million for the comparable period of 1999. The increase in net interest income was attributable to a $110.2 million increase in average interest-earning assets partially offset by a 13 basis point decrease in net interest spread from 2.95% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to 2.82% for the comparable period of 2000.
Provision for loan losses was $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $1.0 million for the comparable period of 1999.
Total non-interest income was $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $3.6 million for the comparable period of 1999. Total non-interest expense was $13.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $13.6 million for the comparable period of 1999.
Interest Income
Interest income was $59.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $52.5 million for the comparable period of 1999. The $6.9 million increase in interest income was attributable to a 66 basis point increase in average yield on interest-earning assets, coupled with the $110.2 million increase in average interest-earning assets. The increase in average interest earning assets was due to a $210.0 million increase in the average balance of loans receivable, net from $2.11 billion for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $2.32 billion for the comparable period of 2000. The average aggregate balance of investment securities, mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO's") (collectively, "securities") decreased $105.8 million from $634.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $529.1 million for the comparable period of 2000 reflecting the Company's strategy of redeploying earnings assets from securities into loans receivable.
The average yield on loans receivable, net increased 63 basis points from 7.90% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to 8.53% for the comparable period of 2000. The increase in the average yield on loans receivable, net was attributable principally to a $241.9 million increase in the aggregate disbursed balance of construction, commercial business, commercial real estate and consumer loans (the Four-C's) from $601.5 million or 28 percent of loans receivable, net at September 30, 1999 to $843.4 million or 36 percent of loans receivable, net at September 30, 2000. Originations of the Four-C's continues to be an area of focus for the Bank with such loans accounting for 92% and 61% of total loan originations for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. An increase in the general level of interest rates also contributed to the increase in loan yields. Management expects that the strong level of originations of the Four-C's will continue and with it, the Bank should continue to achieve continued strengthening of its yield on average interest-earning assets as the proportion of total interest-earning assets comprised by the Four-C's increase.
The average yield on securities was 6.80% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 6.31% for the comparable period of 1999. The increase in the average yield on securities reflects the impact of an increase in the general level of interest rates. The one-year Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT) and one month London Inter Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) averaged approximately 6.12% and 6.54% respectively for the three months ended September 30 2000 compared to approximately 5.16% and 5.30%, respectively for the comparable period of 1999. Amortization of premiums net of accretion of discounts was $225,000 (17 basis points) for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $382,000 (24 basis points) for the comparable period of 1999.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $36.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $30.3 million for the comparable period of 1999. The $6.0 million increase in interest expense was attributable to a 79 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities coupled with a $62.0 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities from $2.65 billion for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $2.71 billion for the comparable period of 2000. The 79 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities reflects a 78 basis point increase in the average cost of deposits, a 84 basis point increase in the cost of FHLB advances and a slight increase in the proportion of total interest-bearing liabilities comprised by certificates of deposits (C.D.'s) and FHLB advances from 71% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to 72% for the comparable period of 2000 as C.D.'s and FHLB advances were utilized to fund the strong level of loan growth.
The increase in the average cost of deposits from 4.15% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to 4.93% for the comparable period of 2000 reflects an increase in the general level of interest rates. The average balances of money market, savings and NOW accounts (collectively, "core deposits") decreased $33.4 million from $778.7 million or 42% of average total deposits for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $745.3 million or 39% of average total deposits for the comparable period 2000. The average balance of total deposits increased $60.9 million from $1.86 billion for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $1.92 billion for the comparable period of 2000. The average cost of core deposits was 3.12% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to 6.08% for C.D.'s.
The average cost of FHLB advances increased from 5.48% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to 6.32% for the comparable period of 2000 reflecting an increase in the general level of interest rates coupled with the Bank's utilization of putable fixed rate FHLB advances. Under the putable advance program, in exchange for a favorable interest rate on the borrowing, the Bank grants to the FHLB an option to "put" the advance back to the Bank at specified "put" dates prior to maturity but after the conclusion of a specified lock out period. Under the putable advance program, the Bank obtains funds below the cost of non-putable FHLB advances of comparable final maturity. In exchange for this favorable funding rate, the Bank is exposed to the risk that the advance is put back to the Bank following an increase in the general level of interest rates causing the Bank to initiate a borrowing at a less advantageous cost. Between September 30, 1999 and September 30, 2000 $230.0 million of putable FHLB advances with a weighted average interest rate of 5.45% were put back to the Bank. Of the $230.0 million put back, $115.0 million was "rolled" into non-putable advances at a weighted average interest rate of 6.55% percent. The Bank has not initiated any new putable borrowings since May 27,1998. At September 30, 2000 the Bank's putable borrowings totaled $185.0 million.
The future behavior of the Bank's funding costs will be impacted to a significant degree by the general level and direction of interest rates as well as competitive forces within the Bank's geographic market. Based upon current interest rate and market conditions, management expects a degree of continued bias to the Bank's funding costs over the next one to two quarters that is directionally consistent with, but lesser in magnitude than, that experienced for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Thereafter, subject to market conditions, management expects a significant reduction in the upward bias to the Bank's funding costs.
Provision for Loan Losses
Provision for loan losses was $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $1.3 million for the comparable period of 2000. See "Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000".
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income was $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $3.6 million for the comparable period of 1999. Excluding trading securities activity, core non-interest income was $4.0 million or, on an annualized basis, .54% of average assets for the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $3.7 million or, on annualized basis, .51% of average assets for the comparable period of 1999. Deposit and related fees decreased $42,000 between three months ended September 30, 1999 and 2000. The primary reason for the decrease in deposit and related fees was due to a reduction in non-deposit income from $346,000 for the three months September 30, 1999 compared to $277,000 for the comparable period of 2000 due to lower sales volume in the current period compared to 1999. The increase in trust fees from $517,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $525,000 for the comparable period of 2000 reflects growth in assets under custody or management from $250.2 million at September 30, 1999 to $279.6 million at September 30, 2000.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense was $13.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $13.6 million for the comparable period of 1999. General and administrative expense was $13.9 million, or an annualized basis 1.86% of average assets for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $13.8 million or, 1.90% of average assets for the comparable period in 1999. Compensation and benefits expense was $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $7.4 million for the comparable period in 1999. Included in compensation and benefits expense are non-cash charges associated with the amortization of shares under the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and 1996 Incentive Plan of $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $1.4 million for the comparable period of 1999.
Foreclosed real estate operations, net includes income of $186,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 comprised of gains on sale of 1-4 family residences.
Income Taxes
Income taxes were $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $4.8 million for the comparable period of 1999. The effective tax rate was 41.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to 43.4% for the comparable period of 1999.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
General
The Company recorded net earnings of $14.4 million or $1.14 per diluted share for the six months ended September 30, 2000 compared to net earnings of $12.7 million or $0.95 per diluted share for the comparable period of 1999.
Net interest income was $47.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $43.5 million for the comparable period of 1999. The increase in net interest income was attributable to $129.8 million increase in average interest earning-assets coupled with a 2 basis point increase in net interest spread from 2.85% for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to 2.87% for the comparable period of 2000.
Provision for loan losses was $2.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $2.0 million for the comparable period of 1999.
Total non-interest income was $7.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $7.8 million for the comparable period of 1999. Total non-interest expense was $27.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $26.9 million for the comparable period of 1999.
Interest Income
Interest income was $119.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $103.9 million for the comparable period of 1999. The $15.3 million increase in interest income was attributable to a 72 basis point increase in average yield on interest-earning assets, coupled with a $129.8 million increase in average interest-earning assets. The increase in average interest earnings assets was due to a $259.2 million increase in the average balance of loans receivable from $2.07 billion for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $2.32 billion for the comparable period of 2000. The average aggregate balance of securities decreased $109.0 million from $652.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $543.0 million for the comparable period of 2000 reflecting the Company's strategy of redeploying earnings assets from securities into loans receivable. During April 2000 the Bank received a $329,000 special dividend from the FHLB of San Francisco. This special dividend increased the average yield on interest-earning assets for the six months ended September 30, 2000 by 3 basis points.
The average yield on loans receivable, net increased 58 basis points from 7.87% for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to 8.45% for the comparable period of 2000. The increase in the average yield on loans receivable, net was attributable principally to a $241.9 million increase in the aggregate disbursed balance of the Four-C's from $601.5 million or 28 percent of loans receivable, net at September 30, 1999 to $843.4 million or 36 percent of loans receivable, net at September 30, 2000. Originations of the Four-C's accounted for 92% and 57% of total loan originations for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. An increase in the general level of interest rates also contributed to the increase in loan yields.
The average yield on securities was 6.77% for the six months ended September 30, 2000, compared to 6.27% for the comparable period of 1999. The increase in the average yield on securities reflects the impact of an increase in the general level of interest rates. The one year CMT and one month LIBOR averaged approximately 6.17% and 6.47% respectively for the six months ended September 30, 2000 compared to approximately 4.99% and 5.09% respectively for the comparable period of 1999. Amortization of premium, net of accretion of discounts was $457,000 (17 basis points) for the six months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $884,000 (27 basis points) for the comparable period of 1999.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $71.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $60.4 million for the comparable period of 1999. The $11.5 million increase in interest expense was attributable to a 70 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities coupled with a $91.9 million increase in the balance of average interest-bearing liabilities from $2.65 billion for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $2.74 billion for the comparable period of 2000. The 70 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities reflects a 66 basis point increase in the average cost of deposits, a 77 basis point increase in the cost of FHLB advances, and an increase in the proportion of total interest-bearing liabilities comprised by C.D.'s and FHLB advances from 71% for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to 73% for the comparable period of 2000.
The increase in the average cost of deposits from 4.17% for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to 4.83% for the comparable period of 2000 reflects an increase in the general level of interest rates. The average balances of core deposits decreased $27.2 million from $767.4 million or 41% of average total deposits for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $740.2 million or 39% of average total deposits for the comparable period of 2000. The average balance of total deposits increased $55.7 million from $1.85 billion for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $1.91 billion for the comparable period of 2000. The change in deposit balances are net of $45.9 million of deposits (including $12.6 million of core deposits) sold in October 1999. The average cost of core deposits was 3.10% for the six months ended September 30, 2000, compared to 5.92% for C.D.'s.
The average cost of FHLB advances increased from 5.47% for the six months ended September 30, 1999, to 6.24% for the comparable period of 2000 reflecting the impact of the maturity or puts of advances coupled with an increase in the general level of interest rates.
Provision for Loan Losses
Provision for loan losses was $2.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $2.0 million for the comparable period of 1999. See "Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000."
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income was $7.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $7.8 million for the comparable period of 1999. Deposit and related fees decreased $175,000 from $4.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $4.5 million for the comparable period of 2000. The decrease in deposit and related fees reflects the decrease in income from the sale of non-deposit investments from $799,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $600,000 for the comparable period of 2000. Trust fees increased from $1.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $1.1 million for the comparable period of 2000
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense was $27.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $26.9 million for the comparable period of 1999. General and administrative expense was $27.4 million or, 1.82% of average assets for the six months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $27.0 or, 1.85% for the comparable period in 1999. Compensation and benefits expense was $14.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $14.4 million for the comparable period in 1999. Included in compensation and benefits expense are non-cash charges associated with the amortization of shares under the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and 1996 Incentive Plan of $2.7 million and $2.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999, respectively.
Income Taxes
Income taxes were $10.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $9.7 million for the comparable period of 1999. The effective tax rate was 42.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared to 43.3% for the comparable period of 1999.
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000
Total assets decreased $32.4 million from $3.03 billion at March 31, 2000 to $3.00 billion at September 30, 2000. Loans receivable, net increased $9.8 million from $2.33 billion at March 31, 2000 to $2.34 billion at September 30, 2000. Securities decreased $48.9 million from $555.4 million at March 31, 2000 to $506.6 million at September 30, 2000 reflecting the strategy discussed above of utilizing paydowns on securities to fund loan growth. The $9.8 million increase in loans receivable, net included a $106.9 million increase in the aggregate disbursed balance of the Four C's and a $102.6 million decrease in 1-4 family residential mortgages
Loan originations for the six months ended September 30, 2000 were $544.8 million, compared to $604.5 million for the comparable period of 1999. Loan principal payoffs and paydowns were $516.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $392.8 million for the comparable period of 1999. Non-accrual loans increased from $5.4 million or 0.21% of gross loans at March 31, 2000 to $6.9 million or 0.27% of gross loans at September 30, 2000. Approximately $1.8 million, or 27 percent, of the non-accrual loans at September 30, 2000 is represented by Four-C's loan types. The 27 percent is well below 36 percent, which is the proportion of total loans receivable, net comprised by the aggregate disbursed balance of the Four-C's. Non-performing assets, which includes non-accrual loans, and foreclosed real estate, net of specific allowances, increased from $6.9 million or 0.23% of total assets at March 31, 2000 to $7.7 million or 0.26% of total assets at September 30, 2000.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount management considers adequate to cover losses on loans receivable which are deemed probable and estimable. The allowance is based upon a number of factors, including current economic conditions, actual loss experience, industry trends and the composition of the loan portfolio by type. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to make additional provisions for loan losses based upon information available at the time of the review. At September 30, 2000, the Bank's allowance for loan losses was $29.3 million or 1.14% of gross loans and 427.34% of non-accrual loans compared to $27.8 million or 1.09% of gross loans and 512.96% of non-accrual loans at March 31, 2000. The Bank will continue to monitor and modify its allowance for loan losses as economic conditions, loss experience, changes in portfolio composition and other factors dictate. The following table sets forth activity in the Bank's allowance for loan losses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2000.
| | Six Months Ended September 30, |
| | 2000 | 1999 |
Beginning balance | $ 27,838 | 26,160 |
Provision for loan losses | 2,502 | 2,000 |
Charge-offs | (1,057) | (1,680) |
Recoveries | 16 | 55 |
Ending balance | $ 29,299 | 26,535 |
Total liabilities decreased $51.2 million to $2.76 billion at September 30, 2000 from $2.81 billion at March 31, 2000. Deposits increased $27.7 million from $1.91 billion at March 31, 2000 to $1.93 billion at September 30, 2000. Core deposits increased $13.6 million from $739.2 million at March 31, 2000 to $752.7 million at September 30, 2000. FHLB advances were paid down by a net $90.0 million from $884.0 at March 31, 2000 to $794.0 million at September 30, 2000 utilizing the cash flows arising from the planned net reduction in 1-4 family residential mortgages coupled with paydowns of securities and deposit inflows provided.
Total stockholders' equity was $240.7 million at September 30, 2000 compared to $221.8 million at March 31, 2000. The $18.8 million increase in total stockholders' equity is comprised principally of a $13.0 million increase in retained earnings, substantially restricted, a $2.2 million increase in unearned stock-based compensation and a $2.8 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The $13.0 million increase in retained earnings, substantially restricted reflects the $14.4 million of net earnings for the six months ended September 30, 2000 partially offset by quarterly cash dividends of $0.06 per common share paid on June 30 and September 30, 2000. The $2.2 million increase in unearned stock-based compensation reflects the amortization of shares under the Company's ESOP ($907,000) and 1996 Incentive Plan ($1.3 million).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, FHLB advances and other borrowings, proceeds from the maturation of securities and, to a lesser extent, proceeds from the sale of loans and securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage and security prepayments are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank has maintained the required minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by OTS regulations. This requirement, which may be varied at the direction of the OTS depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings. Effective with the quarter ended December 31, 1997 the required ratio is 4%. Prior to that the requirement was 5%. The Bank's average liquidity ratio was 4.77% for the six months ended September 30, 2000. Management attempts to maintain a liquidity ratio no higher than approximately 1% above the regulatory requirement. This reflects management's strategy of investing excess liquidity in higher yielding interest-earning assets, such as loans or other investments, depending on market conditions. The Bank invests in corporate securities when the yields thereon are more attractive than U.S. government and federal agency securities of similar maturity. While corporate securities are not backed by any government agency, the maturity structure and credit quality of all corporate securities owned by the Bank meet the minimum standards set forth by the OTS for regulatory liquidity-qualifying investments. The Bank invests in callable debt issued by Federal agencies of the U.S. government when the yields thereon to call date(s) and maturity exceed the yields on comparable term and credit quality non-callable investments by amounts which management deems sufficient to compensate the Bank for the call options inherent in the securities. The Bancorp has invested and will from time to time continue to invest in "non-rated" corporate debt and equity securities. Investments held at the Bancorp are not subject to the OTS regulatory restrictions applicable to the Bank.
The Company's cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities were $34.9 million and $12.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of disbursements for loan originations and purchases of mortgage-backed and other investment securities, offset by principal collections on loans and proceeds from maturation of investments and paydowns on mortgage-backed securities. Principal payments on loans were $516.8 million and $392.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Loans originated and purchased were $545.0 million and $604.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Disbursements for purchases of mortgage-backed and other investment securities were zero and $28.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Proceeds from the maturation of investment securities, paydowns of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations were $52.4 million and $112.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of net activity in deposit accounts and FHLB advances and other borrowings. The net increases in deposits were $27.7 million and $13.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. FHLB advances decreased $90.0 million and increased $20.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
At September 30, 2000, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with a tangible capital level of $219.9 million, or 7.36% of adjusted total assets, which is above the required level of $44.8 million, or 1.5%; core capital of $219.9 million, or 7.36 % of adjusted total assets, which is above the required level of $119.6 million, or 4.0%, and total risk-based capital of $245.7 million, or 11.76% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $167.1 million, or 8%.
The Company's most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company's operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2000 cash and short-term investments totaled $50.3 million. The Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises, including the utilization of reverse repurchase agreements and FHLB advances. At September 30, 2000, the Bank has $794.0 million of FHLB advances outstanding. Other sources of liquidity include investment securities maturing within one year.
The Company currently has no material contractual obligations or commitments for capital expenditures. At September 30, 2000, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate and purchase loans of $273.1 million and zero, respectively, compared to $387.1 million and zero, respectively, at September 30, 2000 and 1999. At September 30, 2000, and 1999 the Company had no outstanding commitments to purchase mortgage-backed securities and other investment securities. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet these commitments. Certificate accounts that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from September 30, 2000 totaled $1.05 billion. The Bank expects that a substantial portion of the maturing certificate accounts will be retained by the Bank at maturity.
Segment Reporting
The Company, through the branch network of the Bank, provides a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies located primarily in Southern California. These services include demand, time, and savings deposits; real estate, business and consumer lending; ATM processing; cash management; and trust services. While the Company's chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of the various Company products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company's banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
