CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1998
(Unaudited)
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared without
audit and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) which were, in the opinion of management,
necessary to a fair statement of the results of the interim period
presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto included in NCB's most current annual report. The results
of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results of the entire year.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior-period
amounts to conform with the current year's presentation.
1. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investment Securities
As of September 30, 1998, NCB's portfolio of investment
securities, cash and cash equivalents had an average adjusted
maturity of 1,420 days with interest rates in those portfolios
varying from 5.25% to 8.38%.

At September 30, 1998, the investments in the available-for-sale
portfolio were recorded at aggregate fair value. Restricted cash of
$5,690,096 is held by a trustee for the benefit of certificate
holders in the event of loss on certain loans sold in 1993 and 1992,
the remaining balance of which totalled $49,543,403 and $57,800,721
respectively, at September 30, 1998. The restricted cash will become
available to NCB I, Inc., as the principal balance of the respective
loans decreases. On March 25, 1998 and July 27, 1998, $1,003,495 and
$216,697, respectively, were received as a reduction of the
restricted cash account due to loan repayments.
2. Loans and Lease Financing
Loans and leases outstanding by category at September 30, 1998
were:
Commercial loans $ 349,935,137
Lease financing 37,616,225
Real estate loans
Residential 364,231,339
Commercial 6,389,391
$758,172,092
At September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 real estate loans held
for sale were $170.1 million and $189.1 million, respectively.
3. Impaired Assets
Impaired loans at September 30, 1998 and 1997 totalled $1,831,090
and $4,833,838, respectively. The 1998 impaired loans were comprised
of nonaccrual loans and a restructured loan totalling $818,701 and
$1,012,389, respectively. The 1997 impaired loans were comprised of
nonaccrual loans and a restructured loan totalling $3,801,463 and
$1,032,375, respectively. A specific allowance of $341,377 and
$1,428,349 was set aside for these loans at September 30, 1998 and
1997, respectively, as management's best estimate of their fair
value is less than the recorded investment in the loans. During
1998 and 1997, the interest collected on the nonaccrual loans was
applied to reduce the outstanding principal. Interest earned on the
restructured loans totalled $70,749 and $72,211 during the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
At September 30, 1998 there were no commitments to lend
additional funds to borrowers whose loans are non-performing.
At September 30, 1998 and 1997, NCB had real estate acquired
through foreclosure of $4,154,697 and $5,544,726, respectively,
which were classified as other assets.
4. Allowance for Loan Losses
The following is a summary of the activity in the allowance for
loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 1998:
Balance at January 1, 1998 $17,638,136

Balance at September 30, 1998 $17,496,730
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of average loans and

6. Year 2000
A significant challenge facing NCB, its subsidiaries and affiliate as
well as all companies, is the readiness of its computer systems for the
next millennium. NCB is dependent upon its internal computer systems and
has external interdependencies with other financial institutions and
customers.
NCB has surveyed all mission critical internal software and systems (See
Table (1)) and has determined a remediation strategy. Table (2) reflects
the phase completion with respect to all mission critical systems. NCB
fully expects all testing to be completed by April 1, 1999.
With respect to "non-information technology items", NCB has surveyed the
vendors/providers with the results shown in Table (3).
NCB is in the process of surveying all associated banks and financial
institutions with which a mission critical interdependence exists. Based
upon the results of this survey, NCB will take actions which will involve
testing of key systems or transitioning to alternative institutional
systems. To date, all associated respondents have indicated that they are
already or will be Year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1998.
To date, direct costs relative to the Year 2000 efforts have totalled
less than $100,000. NCB does not anticipate exceeding this amount in
addressing all associated Year 2000 issues. All costs to date are and in
the future will be funded through operating income and are not considered
material. NCB is converting to a new loan accounting system in November
1998 which will replace its existing systems which are not Year 2000
compliant. The cost of this replacement is expected to be less than
$500,000. While this system will resolve a Year 2000 issue, it has not
been accelerated due to those issues and is proceeding as a phase progress.
NCB has surveyed the major portion of its customer base to determine the
ability of its customers to continue debt service coverage and will follow
with a specific review of annual financial statements for Year 2000
disclosure. A primary risk for NCB lies in the ability of its customers to
continue debt service payment on schedule in the Year 2000. To date,
survey results indicated that the issue is being addressed.
While NCB is confident that all core systems will be tested and found
to be compliant by April 1999, efforts are underway to develop contingency
plans at the business unit level as an added precaution. The contingency
plans will be completed by April 1999.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997
SUMMARY
NCB's net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was
$7.6 million. This was a 4.5% or $329 thousand increase compared with $7.3
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The variance
resulted primarily from a 41.2% increase in non-interest income and a
decrease of 60.2% in the provision for loan losses which were partially
offset by a 16.2% increase in non-interest expenses. For the three month
period ended September 30, 1998, net income decreased to $1.5 million from
$2.0 million due to a decrease in net interest income and an increase in
non-interest expenses of 12.4% and 2.8%, respectively.
Total assets were $898.4 million at September 30, 1998, representing
growth of $29.1 million or 3.4% from $869.3 million at December 31, 1997.
This growth resulted from increases in cash, cash equivalents, restricted
cash and investments of $33.1 million and other assets of $11.5 million
which were offset in part by a decrease of $15.6 million in outstanding
loans.
The annualized return on average total assets was 1.12% for the nine
months of 1998 compared with 1.15% for the same period in 1997. The
annualized return on average equity for the periods ended September 30,
1998 and 1997 was 7.50% and 7.63%, respectively.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
decreased 4.4% or $902.9 thousand from the same period in the prior year.
As shown on Table 1, net interest spread decreased 23 basis points to 2.06%
from 2.29% while net interest yield on earning assets was 2.96% and 3.29%
for the nine months ended September 30,1998 and 1997, respectively.
In comparison to the year earlier quarter, net interest income
decreased 12.4% or $883.9 thousand. As shown on Table 1A, net interest
spread and net yield on interest earning assets decreased by 50 basis
points and 78 basis points, respectively.
As shown on Table 2 and Table 2A, for the nine months and three
months ended September 30, 1998, the decrease in net interest income was
largely due to lower yields on investments and real estate loans held for
sale.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, interest income went
up 2.1% or $1.1 million to $53.6 million compared with $52.5 million from
the prior year. The increase in interest income was mostly due to a higher
average balance of the real estate loans (most of which are held for sale).
Interest income was down 1.0% or $191 thousand to $18.4 milion from
the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared with $18.5 million of
the prior year's quarter. As shown on Table 1A, interest income decreased
primarily due to lower interest rates on real estate loans.
Interest expense increased 6.2% or $2.0 million to $34.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared with $32.1 million for
the same period in 1997. Interest expense went up due to a higher volume
of notes payable required to fund growth of the loans held for sale and
increased volume of deposits. The average rate on interest bearing
liabilities decreased 11 basis points to 6.07% from 6.18%.
For the three month period ended September 30, 1998, interest expense
increased 6.1% or $693 thousand to $12.1 million from $11.4 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 due to increased expenses to
"warehouse" loans for future sale. The average rate on interest bearing
liabilities decreased 59 basis points to 6.11% compared with 6.70% in the
same period in 1997.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 of
$9.5 million increased 41.2% or $2.8 million from $6.7 million for the same
period last year. Non-interest income is composed of gains from sale of
loans, servicing fees, origination fees, management fees and financial
advisory and debt placement fees. The majority of the increase was caused
by increased gains due to a higher volume of assets sold to the secondary
market. Assets sold were $493.8 million and $154.5 milion for the first
nine months of 1998 and 1997, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, gain on sale of blanket
mortgages and share loans was $4.0 million compared with $1.8 million in
the same period last year. The gain on sale was net of a $3.3 million mark
to market adjustment on the loans held for sale at September 30, 1998. For
the nine months ended September 30,1998 and 1997, NCB earned servicing
income of $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, based on loans
serviced for others of $1.7 billion and $1.2 billion at September 30, 1998
and 1997, respectively. Other income increased 10.0% to $3.6 million for
the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 compared with $3.2 million
for the same period in 1997. The majority of other income is related to
commercial line of business activities.
For the three month period ended September 30, 1998, non-interest
income went up 2.3% or $43 thousand to $1.9 million from the same period
in the prior year. The majority of the increase was related to servicing
fees received during the third quarter of 1998.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSES
Non-interest expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
increased 16.2% to $19.5 million compared with $16.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997. Compensation and benefits, representing
57.6% and the largest component of non-interest expenses, increased 23.7%
or $2.2 million. The increase was due to a higher employee base at the
start of 1998 and to higher bonus accruals related to higher origination
volume for the current period compared with 1997. Contractual services,
occupancy and equipment and other expenses had a total increase of $940.4
thousand or 12.9% from $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 to $8.3 million for the same period this year. The majority of the
variance was caused by increases in corporate marketing and development,
office space rent and equipment and technology costs. Non-interest
expenses, excluding the voluntary contribution to NCB Development
Corporation, increased slightly as a percentage of average assets to 2.1%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 from 1.9% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.
For the three months ended September 30, 1998, non-interest expenses
increased $169 thousand or 2.8% to $6.2 million from $6.1 million for the
same period in 1997. The increase was primarily due to expenses related
to corporate business development.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The federal income tax provision is determined on the basis of
non-member income generated by NCB Savings Bank, FSB and reserves
set aside for the retirement of Class A notes and dividends on Class
C stock. NCB's subsidiaries are also subject to varying levels of
state taxation. The income tax provision for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 was $1.07 million compared with the prior year's
provision of $1.02 million.
CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Cash, cash equivalents and investment securities at September 30,
1998 increased $33.1 million or 36.0% from $91.8 million at year-
end 1997. As a percentage of interest earning assets, cash, cash
equivalents and investment securities increased to 14.1% from 10.6%
at December 31, 1997.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1998 decreased .8%
to $17.5 million from $17.6 million at December 31, 1997. The
allowance during the period was impacted by loans charged off of
$1.1 million, recoveries of loans previously charged-off amounting
to $157 thousand, and the provision of $813 thousand. Net charge-
offs as a percentage of average loans and leases outstanding were
.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared with .2%
for the year ended December 31, 1997. Overall, credit quality
remained strong. NCB's provision for loan losses as a percentage of
average loans and leases outstanding decreased to .1% at September
30, 1998 compared with .4% for the same period in 1997.
The loan loss allowance as a percentage of average loans and
leases remained flat at 2.3% on September 30, 1998 and December 31,
1997. Management considers the current allowance to be adequate to
absorb known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio.
As shown in Table 3, total impaired assets (restructured, non-
accruing loans and real estate owned) decreased from $9.2 million at
December 31, 1997 to $6.0 million at September 30, 1998. The
decrease was caused by the sale of various parcels of foreclosed
real estate and a decline in non-accruing loans. Impaired assets as
a percentage of loans and leases outstanding plus real estate owned
were .8% at September 30, 1998 compared with 1.2% at year-end 1997.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of impaired assets
increased to 292.3% at September 30, 1998 from 192.2% at December
31, 1997.

Total $727,346 $714,525 1.8%
Interest bearing liabilities increased 1.8% to $727.3 million at
September 30, 1998 from $714.5 million at December 31, 1997.
For the first nine months of 1998, deposits at NCB Savings Bank,
FSB increased 36.0% to $114.0 million from $83.8 million at year-end
1997. The growth was attributable to an aggressive campaign to
attract local and national deposit accounts and cooperative
customers. The average maturity of the certificates of deposits is
15.9 months as of September 30, 1998. Funds generated by the
increased deposit activity were used to originate single-family
loans and increase liquidity.
At September 30, 1998, total short-term and long-term borrowings
(including the subordinated debt) decreased 2.7% from year-end 1997.
Proceeds from the sale of loans were used to pay down the debt. NCB
had approximately $239.0 million, net of discount, outstanding on
its short-term facilities at September 30, 1998. Included in the
short-term borrowings were revolving lines of credit of $145.0
million; commercial paper program with a face value of $75.0 million
and $19.3 million in borrowings from an affiliate and cooperative
customers. Long-term debt decreased 6.4% from year-end 1997 due to
payments of $28.0 million under the long term facilities which were
partially offset by an additional issuance of $15.0 million of
medium-term notes. Unused capacity under the short-term and long-
term facilities of approximately $183.2 million and $85.0 million,
respectively, are sufficient to meet anticipated disbursements
during 1998.
