NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1995
Note A -- Basis Of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the six month period ended
December 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ended June 30,
1996. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June
30, 1995.
Cash Flow Information: For purposes of the statements of
cash flows, cash equivalents include cash and amounts due
from banks. During the six months ended December 31, 1995
and 1994, the Association exchanged loans for mortgage-backed
securities in the amounts of $67.5 million and $23.2 million
respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 1995
and 1994, the Association transferred unpaid loan balances
from loans to real estate due to foreclosures of $2.6 million
and $2.1 million respectively. Upon implementation of FASB
114, $200,000 of loans classified as in-substance
foreclosures were reclassified to loans during the period
ended December 31, 1995.
Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made
to the fiscal 1995 consolidated financial statements to
conform with the fiscal 1996 presentation.
Note B -- Earnings Per Share Data
Net income per share is computed based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive
common stock equivalents, adjusted for stock dividends. Cash
dividends paid per share are based on the number of common
shares outstanding at each declaration date, adjusted for
stock dividends. On October 20, 1995, the Corporation
declared a 10% stock dividend to shareholders of record on
November 3, 1995, payable November 15, 1995.
Note C -- Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights
In May 1995 the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122
(SFAS 122). "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 65." This statement requires
the Corporation to capitalize retained mortgage servicing
rights on loans sold or securitized by allocating the total
cost of the mortgage loans between the mortgage servicing
rights and the loans (without the servicing rights) based on
their respective fair values. The new statement also
specifies new procedures for assessing impairment of
capitalized mortgage servicing rights, whenever capitalized,
and requires that impairment shall be recognized through a
valuation allowance for individual portfolio stratifications
based on the fair value of those rights.
The Corporation adopted SFAS 122 effective July 1, 1995 which
resulted in an increase in mortgage banking income of
$634,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1995. In
accordance with SFAS 122, prior period financial statements
have not been restated. The total book value of the
capitalized mortgage servicing rights at December 31, 1995
was $1.4 million and the aggregate fair market value totaled
$1.4 million. A valuation model that calculates the present
value of future cash flows was used to estimate fair value.
In using this valuation method, the Company incorporated
assumptions that market participants would use in estimating
future net servicing income, which included estimates of the
cost of servicing per loan, the discount rate, float value
and prepayment speeds.
For purposes of measuring impairment, the following risk
characteristics were used to stratify the post implementation
originated mortgage servicing rights: product type, term of
loan, and interest rates. Based on these measurement factors
a valuation allowance of $13,000 was required at December
31, 1995.
Note D -- Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan
In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement No. 114, "Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" as amended by
Statement No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." As a result of
applying the new rules, certain loans which are deemed to be
impaired will be reported at the present value of expected
future cash flows using the loan's effective interest rate,
or as a practical expedient, at the loans observable market
price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent. The Corporation adopted these
statements July 1, 1995.
At December 31, 1995, the recorded investment in loans that
are considered to be impaired under Statement 114 was $1.6
million (which were on a nonaccrual basis). The related
allowance for credit losses was $521,000. The average
recorded investment in impaired loans for the period ended
December 31, 1995 was approximately $1.6 million. During
this period the Corporation did not recognize interest income
on loans considered impaired.
Note E -- Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities
In November 1995, the FASB issued a Guide to Implementation
of Statement 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities." The guide stated that no later
than December 31, 1995, an enterprise may reassess the
appropriateness of the classifications of all securities held
at that time and account for any resulting reclassifications
at fair value. Reclassifications from the held-to-maturity
category that result from this one-time reassessment will not
call into question the intent of an enterprise to hold other
debt securities to maturity in the future. During the
quarter ended December 31, 1995 the Corporation transferred
held-to-maturity securities with a fair value of $14.3
million to available-for-sale with the resulting net
unrealized gains of $29,000, net of taxes, reported as a
component of stockholders' equity.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF
YORK FINANCIAL CORP.
General
York Financial Corp. ("York Financial" or "Corporation")
is a unitary savings and loan holding company with it's
principal offices located in York, Pennsylvania. York
Federal Savings and Loan Association ("York Federal" or
"Association"), a federally chartered savings and loan
association, is the primary operating unit of the
Corporation.
The Corporation's net income is highly dependent on the
interest rate spread between the average rate earned on loans
and securities and the average rate paid on deposits and
borrowings as well as the amount of the respective assets and
liabilities outstanding. Other operating income is a
supplement to interest income and is primarily the result
of mortgage banking activities. Other operating income also
includes fees and service charges assessed on loan and
deposit transactions.
Asset/Liability Management
In an effort to maintain control over net interest
income, management of York Federal focuses its attention on
managing the interest rate sensitivity of assets and
liabilities and controlling the volume of lending, investment
and borrowing activity. By managing the ratio of interest
sensitive assets to interest sensitive liabilities repricing
in the same periods, the Corporation seeks to minimize the
negative effect of interest rate fluctuations.
The asset sensitivity gap at the one year time period
decreased $36.7 million in the six months ended December 31,
1995 to $67.6 million. This decrease was primarily
attributable to retention of intermediate term fixed rate
loans and mortgage backed securities funded by a decrease in
liquid assets and a changing composition within the liability
portfolio including growth in short term borrowings and
variable rate deposit products.

Interest sensitivity gap within one year $ 67,574 $ 104,224
year
Cumulative interest sensitivity gap
within one year as a percent of total
assets 6.41% 10.32%
The Corporation also monitors its interest rate risk in
accordance with regulatory direction. Fluctuations in net
interest income and the market value of portfolio equity are
determined in various interest rate scenarios and monitored
against acceptable limitations established by management and
approved by the Board of Directors. Interest rate risk as
indicated through balance sheet simulations at December
31, 1995 is considered to be within acceptable limits. The
management of York Federal is committed to managing the
asset portfolio in order to maximize the yield and maintain
an interest rate sensitivity of York Federal's earning assets
that insulates it from the potential negative effect of
interest rate fluctuations.
Asset Quality
Management is aware of the risks inherent in
lending and continually monitors risk characteristics of the
loan portfolio. The Association's policy is to maintain the
allowance for loan losses at a level believed adequate by
management to absorb potential loan losses within the
portfolio. Management's determination of the adequacy of the
allowance is performed by an internal loan review committee
and is based on risk characteristics of loans, past loss
experience, loan portfolio growth trends, economic conditions
and such other factors that deserve recognition. Additions
to the allowance are charged to operations.
An analysis of the allowance for loan losses, for the periods
indicated is as follows:

loan losses to adjusted total loans 0.74% 0.69%
The allowance for loan losses totaled $6.7 million or
.74% of adjusted total loans of $897.2 million at December
31, 1995. Such amount is considered adequate relative to
management's assessment of risk characteristics inherent in
the loan portfolio. While management uses available
information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to
the allowance may be necessary based on specific
circumstances related to problem loans as well as changes in
economic conditions.
An analysis of nonperforming assets is summarized as

As a percent of total assets 1.14% 1.28%
Total nonperforming assets $ 25,062 $26,000
As a percent of total assets 2.38% 2.57%
Management recognizes the risk of potential diminution
of value of real estate owned during the holding period and
provides for such risk by maintaining a general allowance for
real estate losses (such reserve is separate from and in
addition to the allowance for loan losses). Management
continually monitors the risk profile of real estate owned
and maintains an allowance for real estate losses at a level
believed adequate to absorb potential losses within the
real estate portfolio. For the first six months of fiscal
1996, additions to the allowance in the amount of $200,000
which was offset by charge offs net of recoveries to the
allowance of $155,000 resulted in an increase in the
allowance for Real Estate Owned losses of $45,000 to $675,000
at December 31, 1995.
Results of Operations
Three months Ended December 31, 1995 Compared to December 31,
1994
Net Interest Income
York Financial's earnings are significantly affected by
the level of York Federal's net interest income, the
difference between the income it receives on its loan
portfolio and other investments and its cost of money,
consisting primarily of interest paid on deposits and
borrowings. Net interest income is affected by the average
yield on interest-earning asset, the average rate on interest-
bearing liabilities, and the ratio of interest-earning assets
to interest-bearing liabilities.
Net interest income for the six months ended
December 31, 1995 was $17.0 million compared to $16.0 million
for the same period last year. The increase in net interest
income was attributable to an increase in average earning
assets primarily due to the retention of intermediate term
assets. The margin on interest-earning assets decreased
to 3.52% from 3.93% for the six months ended December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The impact of
rising loan and investment rates resulted in a 40 basis point
increase to the average yield on interest earning assets to
8.23% for the six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared
to 7.83% in the same period in the prior year. The
increasing cost of deposits and other borrowings during the
first six months of fiscal 1996 was caused by a shift in
composition within interest bearing liabilities from lower cost
transaction deposit accounts and variable rate certificates of
deposits to higher cost money fund accounts and increased short-
term borrowings resulting in an increase to the average rate on
interest bearing liabilities to 4.98% as compared to 4.07% in the same
period last year. The net effect caused the interest rate spread
for the current period to decrease to 3.24% from 3.76% in the
same period last year.
Provision for Loan Losses
Management is aware of the risks inherent in lending and
continually monitors risk characteristics of the loan
portfolio. See "Asset Quality".
Other Income
Other income was $4.7 million for the six months ended
December 31, 1995, an increase of 86.9% from the six months
ended December 31, 1994. On July 1, 1995, the Corporation
implemented SFAS 122 (see note C), resulting in a favorable
impact to earnings. Mortgage banking income for the six
months ended December 31, 1995 increased $534,000 to $1.5
million or 54.2% as compared to the same period in 1994 and
includes the adoption of SFAS 122, gains on sales of loans
and trading securities and income from servicing fees. The
portfolio of loans serviced for others totaled $601.1 million
at December 31, 1995 as compared to $557.4 million at
December 31, 1994. The servicing rate earned on the
portfolio of loans serviced for others for the six months
ended December 31, 1995 decreased to .249% from .283% in the
same period in 1994. During the quarter ended December 31,
1995 the Corporation recognized a gain of $1.3 million
resulting from the sale of real estate held for investment.
Fees and service charges for the six months ended December
31, 1995 increased by 15.3% to 1.2 million compared to 1.0
million in the same period in 1994. Other operating income
was $1.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 1996 as
compared to $566,000 in the first six months of fiscal 1995.
This amount represents income from operations of
subsidiaries, including commissions earned from discount
brokerage activities, appraisal and construction inspection
services provided to independent third parties and equity in
earnings of joint ventures.
Other Expenses
Other expenses of $11.2 million increased $540,000 or
5.1% for the six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared
to the same period in 1994. Salaries and employee benefits
increased $105,000 or 1.9% over the same period in 1994. Real
estate expenses increased $275,000 over December 31, 1994 and
is primarily attributable to an increase in the provision for
possible real estate losses (see asset quality), increased
carrying costs of $75,000 related to maintaining the
portfolio of properties and settlement and legal fees related
to disposition of properties. Data processing costs
increased $85,000 or 20.2% and are primarily attributed to
the installation of a teller automation system and increased
cost of services.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes of $3.7 million for the
six months ended December 31, 1995 represents an effective
tax rate of 40.0% as compared to 38.3% for the same period
last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Under current regulations, York Federal is required to
maintain liquid assets at 5.0% or more of its net
withdrawable deposits plus short-term borrowings. Throughout
the six months ended December 31, 1995 and fiscal year ended
June 30, 1995, York Federal maintained an average liquidity
level which was in compliance with the regulatory
requirements. At December 31, 1995, the Association's
liquidity level was 5.11%.
Thrifts must comply with three separate capital
standards. The following table sets forth the capital
position of the Association as of December 31, 1995:
Requirement Actual
Dollars Percent Dollars Percent Excess
(Dollars in thousands)
Tangible Capital $ 15,694 1.5% $ 78,928 7.5% $ 63,234
Core Capital $ 31,388 3.0% $ 78,928 7.5% $ 47,540
Risk-Based
Capital $ 56,096 8.0% $ 84,927 12.1% $ 28,831
At December 31, 1995, York Federal is considered a well
capitalized association for capital distribution purposes and
therefore, its capital distributions may be made up to 100%
of its net income to date during the calendar year plus an
amount that would reduce its surplus capital ratio at the
beginning of the calendar year by one-half. At December 31,
1995, the total allowable capital distribution was $22.5
million. Transactions with affiliates are limited to 10% of
capital and surplus per affiliate with an aggregate limit on
all such transactions with affiliates to 20% of capital and
surplus. At December 31, 1995, such transactions are within
these regulatory limits.
York Federal is insured by the FDIC through the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF) and pays annual insurance
fees of 23 basis points on insured deposits, the lowest rate
currently permitted. The FDIC insures commercial banks and
certain savings banks through the Bank Insurance Fund
("BIF"), which lowered their insurance rates in September
1995. Since the commercial banks have reached the required
capitalization level of $1.25 for each $100.00 in deposits
Under the new assessment schedule approximately 92% of
BIF members pay only the statutory minimum annual
assessment of $2,000. This BIF and SAIF insurance premium
disparity places SAIF insured institutions at a significant
competitive disadvantage since the average SAIF premium currently
remains at 24 basis points.
Proposed legislation to accelerate the recapitalization
of the SAIF by assessing a one time charge of approximately
85 basis points on the amount of deposits held by a SAIF
member institution at March 31, 1995 is under consideration.
If enacted, this one time assessment could result in a pre-
tax charge to the Association's earnings of approximately
$6.9 million. Such charge will not impact York Federal's
status as a well-capitalized institution qualifying for the
lowest SAIF insurance premium. Management expects that the
existing annual SAIF premium paid by the Association will be
lowered from 23 basis points to as low as 4 basis points as a
result of the proposed one time assessment resulting in a
favorable impact to earnings in future years. It cannot be
determined at this time what the outcome of these events and
proposals will be.
York Federal's primary sources of funds to support
lending and other general business activities are operations,
loan repayments including monthly amortization and
prepayments, the sale of loans and mortgage-backed
securities, deposits, short and long-term advances from FHLB
of Pittsburgh and Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and
other short-term borrowings. Deposits increased $43.2
million or 5.2% over prior year end levels. In addition,
at December 31, 1995, York Federal has FHLB advances outstanding
in the amount of $69.3 million at a weighted average interest
rate of 5.71%. In accordance with the stated credit policy
of the FHLB of Pittsburgh, additional borrowings of
approximately $34.2 million are available to York Federal at
December 31, 1995. However, York Federal may increase its
borrowings over amounts currently available by purchasing
additional FHLB stock.
Amortization and prepayments of loans and proceeds from
loan sales within the Association's mortgage banking activity
represent a substantial source of funds to York Federal.
These sources amounted to $151.8 million for the six months
ended December 31, 1995.
The principal use of York Federal funds is the
origination of mortgage and other loans. Loan demand
resulted in total originations of $225.5 million for the
period ended December 31, 1995 compared to $182.3 million for
the same period in 1994. The $43.2 million increase in loan
originations over the prior fiscal year is due to an increase
in expanded mortgage broker relationships with related volume
favorably impacted by a relatively low rate environment in the
first six months of fiscal 1996.
