MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF
YORK FINANCIAL CORP.
Financial Review
The purpose of this discussion is to provide additional
information about York Financial Corp. ("York Financial" or
"Corporation"), its financial condition and results of
operations. Readers of this report should refer to the
consolidated financial statements and other financial data
presented throughout this report to fully understand the
following discussion and analysis.
York Financial is a unitary savings and loan holding company
incorporated in Pennsylvania in September 1985 and in August 1986
became the sole stockholder of York Federal Savings and Loan
Association ("York Federal" or "Association"), a federally
chartered stock savings and loan association. Presently, the
primary business of York Financial is the business of York
Federal. At September 30, 1996, the Corporation had consolidated
assets of $1.2 billion, total deposits of $922.0 million and
stockholders' equity of $91.8 million. The Association is a
member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Pittsburgh and
is subject to supervision, examination and regulation by the
Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Association is primarily
engaged in the business of attracting deposits and investing
these deposits into loans secured by residential and commercial
real property, consumer loans and securities. York Federal
conducts its business through twenty-two offices located in south
central Pennsylvania and Maryland. In addition, York Federal
maintains a commissioned mortgage origination staff as well as
mortgage broker relationships which originate residential
mortgage loans for the Association primarily in Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia and Delaware. The Association's deposits are
insured up to applicable limits by the Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the FDIC.
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 strong supplement to
York Federal's interest income and is primarily the result of
mortgage banking activities including gains on sales of mortgage-
backed securities created from loan originations and the
resulting service fee income derived from the portfolio of loans
serviced for others. Other operating income also includes gains
and losses on sales of real estate and fees and service charges
assessed on loan and deposit transactions, as well as income/loss
from equity investments.
Interest Rate Sensitivity 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.
Management reviews the Association's interest sensitivity
position on an ongoing basis and prepares strategies to adjust
that sensitivity to maximize the yield on the asset portfolio
while maintaining the interest rate sensitivity on earning assets
at acceptable levels to insulate it from the effects of interest
rate fluctuations. The Corporation originates for portfolio
principally short and intermediate term and adjustable rate loans
and sells most fixed rate loan originations. The funding sources
for these portfolio loans are deposits with various maturities
and short term borrowings. The result of this origination and
funding activity was a $54.4 million liability sensitive gap at
the one year time period at September 30, 1996.

Interest sensitivity gap within one year $(54,426) $ 3,755
Cumulative interest sensitivity gap
within one year as a percent of
total assets (4.71)% 0.34%
The Corporation also monitors its interest rate risk in
accordance with regulatory guidance. 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 September 30, 1996 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 including loans deemed impaired in
accordance with FASB Statement No. 114, past loss experience,
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:
Three Fiscal

(Dollars in thousands) 1996 1996
Total allowance for loan losses at beginning

Percentage of net charge-offs to average
loans outstanding during the period 0.02% 0.17%
Percentage of allowance for loan losses to
adjusted total loans 0.73% 0.70%
The allowance for loan losses totaled $7.3 million or .73%
of adjusted total loans of $1.0 billion at September 30, 1996.
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
follows:
September 30 June 30

(Dollars in thousands)
Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual
basis:
Real estate-mortgage:

repossession by loan type:
Real estate:
Residential $5,272 $ 4,913
Commercial 2,236 2,370
Land 3,206 3,349
Allowance for real estate losses (754) (955)
Total real estate owned $9,960 $ 9,677
As a percent of total assets 0.86% 0.87%
Total nonperforming assets $24,670 $21,770
As a percent of total assets 2.14% 1.96%
Management recognizes the risk of potential reduction in
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). For the first three months of
fiscal 1997, no additions were made to the allowance. Charge
offs net of recoveries of $201,000 resulted in a decrease in the
allowance for Real Estate Owned losses to $754,000 at September
30, 1996. 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.
Liquidity
The primary purpose of asset/liability management is to
maintain adequate liquidity and a desired balance between
interest sensitive assets and liabilities. Liquidity management
focuses on the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of
customers wanting to withdraw or borrow funds for their personal
or business needs. Interest rate sensitivity management focuses
on consistent growth of net interest income in times of
fluctuating interest rates. The management of liquidity and
interest rate sensitivity must be coordinated since decisions
involving one may influence the other.
Liquidity needs can be met by either reducing assets or
increasing liabilities. Sources of asset liquidity include short
term investments, securities available for sale, maturing and
repaying loans and monthly cash flows from mortgage-backed
securities. The loan portfolio provides an additional source of
liquidity due to York Federal's participation in the secondary
mortgage market. Liquidity needs can be met by attracting
deposits and utilizing borrowing arrangements with the FHLB and
the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia for short and long term
advances as well as other short term borrowings.
Deposits represent the Association's primary source of
funds. The Association does not rely on brokered deposits as a
source of funds. During the first three months of fiscal 1997,
the Association's deposits increased $13.9 million. In addition,
York Federal has supplemented its deposit gathering efforts
through borrowings from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. At September 30,
1996, York Federal had $115.8 million in FHLB advances
outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 5.88%.
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 three months
ended September 30, 1996, York Federal maintained an average
liquidity level which was in compliance with the regulatory
requirements. At September 30, 1996, the Association's liquidity
level was 5.07%.
Amortization and prepayments of loans and proceeds from loan
and securities sales within the Association's mortgage banking
activity represent a substantial source of funds to York Federal.
These sources amounted to $71.1 million for the first three
months of fiscal 1997, respectively.
The principal use of York Federal funds is the origination
of mortgage and other loans. Loan demand resulted in total
originations of $121.7 million for the period ended September 30,
1996. Loan originations were obtained through various channels
including the retail branch system, commissioned mortgage
origination staff, tele-mortgage activity and expanded mortgage
broker relationships. The volume of originations was favorably
impacted by a relatively stable interest rate environment and
included traditional long term fixed rate loans primarily
originated for sale as well as adjustable rate and residential
construction loan products. In addition, in response to changing
customer preferences intermediate term mortgage products, i.e.
seven year balloon loans and 5/1 CMT adjustable rate loans (fixed
rate for the first five years with annual adjustments
thereafter), became a more significant component of origination
volume.
Capital
The management of capital provides the foundation for future
asset and profitability growth and is a major strategy in the
management of York Financial Corp. Stockholders' equity at
September 30, 1996 totaled $91.8 million compared to $86.9
million at September 30, 1995, an increase of $4.9 million or
5.6%. This growth was a result of a combination of factors
including earnings growth, cash dividends paid, issuance of
shares in connection with various benefit and dividend
reinvestment plans and the impact of unrealized losses on
"available for sale" securities.
OTS regulated thrifts must comply with various capital
standards:
Tangible Capital. Generally, common stock plus retained
earnings must equal at least 1.5% of adjusted total assets.
Core Capital to total assets. Tangible capital plus
qualifying supervisory goodwill (arising from the purchase of a
troubled savings association) and other qualifying intangible
assets must equal at least 3.0% of adjusted total assets.
Risk-Based Capital. Risk-based capital must equal at least
8.0% of risk-weighted assets, as defined in the regulations.
Core capital component of risk-based capital, as defined above,
must equal at least 4.0% of risk weighted assets.
At September 30, 1996, York Federal's tangible and core
capital both equaled 7.1% ($80.9 million), substantially in
excess of the minimum regulatory requirements of 1.5% and 3.0%,
respectively, as indicated above. York Federal's total assets do
not include any goodwill. York Federal's core capital to risk
weighted assets equaled 10.8% ($80.9 million) at June 30, 1996,
which exceeds its required level of 4.0%. Finally, York
Federal's risk-based capital ratio equaled 11.4% ($87.6 million)
at September 30, 1996, which exceeds its required level of 8.0%
by $26.1 million.
Results of Operations
Three months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to September 30,
1995
Net Interest Income
York Financial's earnings are 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 three months ended
September 30, 1996 was $8.7 million compared to $8.5 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 3.28% from 3.57%
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The impact of a lower interest rate environment, a
decrease in deferred fee income recognition and a higher level of
non-accrual loans resulted in a 30 basis point decrease to the
average yield on interest earning assets to 7.94% for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 8.24% in the same
period in the prior year. The higher level of interest-bearing
liabilities during the first three months of fiscal 1997 resulted
from increases in higher cost guaranteed money fund and
certificate accounts and short-term borrowings which were
partially offset by decreases in savings and regular money market
accounts. This resulting composition shift partially offset the
lower levels of interest rates resulting in a decrease to the
average rate on interest bearing liabilities to 4.95% as compared
to 4.96% in the same period last year. The net effect caused the
interest rate spread for the current period to decrease to 2.99%
from 3.28% 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 $992,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, a decrease of 24.2% from the three months
ended September 30, 1995. Mortgage banking income for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 increased $64,000 to $753,000 or
9.3% as compared to the same period in 1995 and includes net
gains on sales of loans and trading securities and income from
servicing fees. The portfolio of loans serviced for others
totaled $597.9 million at September 30, 1996 as compared to
$578.0 million at September 30, 1995. The servicing rate earned
on the portfolio of loans serviced for others for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 decreased to .257% from .269% in
the same period in 1995. Fees and service charges for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 increased by 15.7% to 677,000
compared to 585,000 in the same period in 1995. The Corporation
is a partner in various joint ventures. These joint ventures
during the first three months of fiscal 1997 had losses of
$627,000. These losses were primarily related to the
Corporation's share in the net losses of a venture capital
partnership resulting from the decreased market value of
underlying portfolio investments. Other operating income was
$242,000 in the first three months of fiscal 1997 as compared to
$164,000 in the first three months of fiscal 1996. Other
operating income also includes 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 $11.4 million increased $5.8 million or
104.3% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared
to the same period in 1995.
The Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 was enacted
September 30, 1996 and included provisions for a one-time special
assessment to recapitalize the SAIF (Savings Association
Insurance Fund) of the FDIC. This Act required SAIF institutions
to pay a one-time special assessment of 65.7 basis points on the
deposit premium assessment base of March 31, 1995 resulting in a
$5.3 million pre-tax charge recognized in the three months ended
September 30, 1996. Future SAIF insurance premiums will be paid
at a substantially lower rate of 6.4 basis points compared to 23
basis points prior to enactment of the Deposit Insurance Fund Act
of 1996. This new assessment rate will be more consistent with
the deposit insurance premiums paid by BIF (Bank Insurance Fund)
insured institutions.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $204,000 or 7.4%
over the same period in 1995 and is primarily attributable to the
implementation of revisions to the salary administration program.
Occupancy expense increased $155,000 or 23.7% over the same
period in 1995 and is primarily attributed to operating cost
related to a new office facility. Federal deposit insurance
premiums increased $66,000 or 14.2% over the same period in 1995
and is directly attributed to increased deposits. Real estate
expenses decreased $82,000 when compared to September 30, 1995
and is primarily attributable to a decrease in provision for
possible real estate losses (see asset quality), decreased
carrying costs of $7,000 related to maintaining the portfolio of
properties and settlement and legal fees related to disposition
of properties and a $26,000 decrease in rental income. Other
expenses includes a loss accrual of $100,000 related to the
expected settlement of litigation initiated in 1991.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes (benefit) of ($984,000) for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 represents an effective
tax rate of 38.2% as compared to 40.1% for the same period last
year. The Corporation can realize the tax benefit created for
the three months ended September 30, 1996.
Regulatory Matters
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
September 30, 1996 such transactions are within these regulatory
limits.
Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements and related financial
data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, which require the
measurement of financial position and operating results in terms
of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative
purchasing power over time due to inflation.
Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the
assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in
nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more
significant impact on a financial institution's performance than
does the effect of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily
move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the price
of goods and services since such prices are affected by
inflation. In the current interest rate environment, the
liquidity and maturity structures of York Federal's assets and
liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable
performance levels.
