BWC FINANCIAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position
at March 31, 1999 and the results of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
1999 and 1998.
Certain information and footnote disclosures presented in the
Corporation's annual consolidated financial statements are not included in
these interim financial statements. Accordingly, the accompanying
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Corporation's 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is
incorporated by reference in the Company's 1998 annual report on Form 10-K.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 are
not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive
effect of stock options, stock dividends and the stock splits.
2. INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND OTHER SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS

4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Bank has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130), as of January 1, 1998. This
statement established standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. For
the Bank, comprehensive income includes net income reported on the
statements of income and changes in the fair value of its available-for-
sale investments reported as a component of shareholders' equity.
The Corporation's comprehensive income for the period is reflected in the
following table:
For the Three Months
Ended March 31,
1999 1998
Net Income $1,120,000 $966,000
Other Comprehensive Income, net

Adjustment for available-for-
sale securities (145,000) 25,000
Total Comprehensive Income $975,000 $991,000
5. FASB 131 DISCLOSURE
The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
(SFAS 131) as of January 1, 1998. This statement establishes standards for
the reporting and display of information about operating segments in
financial statements and related disclosures.
The Corporation is principally engaged in community banking activities
through its seven Bank branches. In addition to its community banking
activities, the Corporation provides mortgage brokerage services through
its joint venture, BWC Mortgage Services. These activities are monitored
and reported by Corporation management as a separate operating segment. As
permitted under the Statement, the separate banking offices have been
aggregated into a single reportable segment, Community Banking. The other
operating segments do not meet the prescribed aggregation or materiality
criteria and therefore are reported as "All other" in the following table.
The Corporation's community banking segment provides loans, leases, SBA
loan products, asset based lending services and lines of credit to local
businesses and individuals. This segment also derives revenue by investing
funds, that are not loaned to others in the form of loans, leases or lines
of credits, into investment securities. The business purpose of BWC
Mortgage Services is the origination and placement of long-term financing
for real estate mortgages.
Summarized financial information for the period ending March 31, 1999, and
1998 concerning the Corporation's reportable segments is shown in the
following table.
6. SFAS No. 133
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Statement establishes accounting
and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument
(including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at
its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's
fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge
accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges
allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the
hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must
formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions
that receive hedge accounting.
Statement 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.
A company may also implement the Statement as of the beginning of any
fiscal quarter after issuance (that is, fiscal quarters beginning June 16,
1998 and thereafter). Statement 133 cannot be applied retroactively.
Statement 133 must be applied to (a) derivative instruments and (b) certain
derivative instruments embedded in hybrid contracts that were issued,
acquired, or substantively modified after December 31, 1997 (and, at the
Corporation's election, before January 1, 1998).
The Corporation has no derivative or hedged instruments and therefore the
implementation of this statement is not expected to have a material impact
on the Corporation's financial position or results of operations.
INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
(in thousands except share and per share data)
<FN>
Proper management of the rate sensitivity and maturities of assets and liabilities is required
to provide an optimum and stable net interest margin. Interest rate sensitivity spread management
is an important tool for achieving this objective and for developing strategies and means to
improve profitability. The schedules shown below reflect the interest rate sensitivity position
of the Corporation as of March 31, 1999. Management believes that the sensitivity ratios
reflected in these schedules fall within acceptable ranges, and represent no undue interest rate
risk to the future earnings prospects of the Corporation.
