NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ORIENTAL FINANCIAL GROUP
INC.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The accounting and reporting policies of the Oriental Financial Group Inc. (the
"Group" or, "Oriental") conform with generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") and financial services industry practices. The following is a
description of the Group's most significant accounting policies:
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
The Group is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, which provides a variety of financial services
through its subsidiaries. The Group is subject to the regulation and supervision
of the Federal Reserve Board. Oriental Bank and Trust (the "Bank"), the Group's
banking subsidiary, is a full-service commercial bank with its main office
located in San Juan, Puerto Rico and with nineteen branches located throughout
the island. The Group through its banking and broker-dealer subsidiaries,
Oriental Financial Services Corp., offers mortgage, commercial and consumer
lending, auto lease financing, financial planning, money management and
investment brokerage services, as well as corporate and individual trust
services. The Bank is subject to the regulations of certain federal and local
agencies.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q. Complete information regarding
the financial statements can be found in the notes to the financial statements
for the year ended June 30, 1999 contained in Oriental's 1999 Annual Report.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the March 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999
consolidated financial statements to conform to the presentation of the current
period consolidated financial statements.
In management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting mainly of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Group at March 31, 2000 and June 30, 1999, and the
results of operations and cash flows for the third quarter and nine-month period
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS AND SECURITIES:
The Group's securities are classified as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or
trading. Securities for which the Group has the positive intent and ability to
hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized
cost. Securities that might be sold prior to maturity because of interest rate
changes, to meet liquidity needs, or to better match the repricing
characteristics of funding sources are classified as available-for-sale. These
securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded
from earnings and reported net of deferred taxes in other comprehensive income.
The Group classifies as trading those securities that are acquired and held
principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. These securities
are carried at estimated fair value with realized and unrealized changes in
market value included in earnings in the period in which the changes occur.
Interest revenue arising from trading instruments is included in the statement
of income as part of net interest income rather than in the trading profit or
loss account.
The Group's investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of New York stock
has no readily determinable fair value and can only be sold back to the FHLB at
par value. Therefore, this investment is carried at cost and its redemption
value represents its fair value. Premiums and discounts are amortized to
interest income over the life of the related securities using the interest
method. Net realized gains or losses on sales of investment securities and
unrealized loss valuation adjustments considered other than temporary, if any,
on securities classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity are
reported separately in the statement of income. Cost of securities is determined
on the specific identification method.
MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS
At March 31, 2000 and June 30, 1999 the Group's money market investments were

Proceeds from the sale of investment securities available-for-sale during the
first nine months of fiscal 2000 totaled $56,813,000 (1999 - $242,121,000).
Gross realized gains and losses on those sales during fiscal 2000 were
$1,077,000 and $11,000, respectively (1999 - $10,464,000 and $0).
Of Oriental's investments at March 31, 2000 and June 30, 1999 the Government of
Puerto Rico was the only issuer, other than the U.S. Government, of instruments
that are payable and secured by the same source of revenue or taxing authority
that exceeded 10% of stockholders' equity. The fair value of these investments
represented 14% and 19% of stockholders' equity, respectively. At March 31,
2000, the amortized cost and fair value of investments from the Government of
Puerto Rico were approximately $18,754,000 (June 30, 1999 - $23,723,000) and
$18,739,000 (June 30, 1999 - $24,102,000), respectively. At March 31, 2000,
$14,683,000 (June 30, 1999 - $18,456,000) of these investments were an AAA-rated
Puerto Rico municipal bond collateralized with mortgage-backed securities.

NOTE 3 - LOANS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES:
LOANS RECEIVABLE
The Group's business activity is with consumers located in Puerto Rico.
Oriental's loan transactions include a diversified number of industries and
activities such as individuals, sole proprietorships, partnerships,
manufacturing, tourism, government, insurance and not-for-profit organizations,
all of which are encompassed within four main categories: mortgage, commercial,
consumer and leasing. Oriental's loan portfolio has a higher concentration of
loans to consumers such as residential mortgage loans, personal loans, and auto
leases. The composition of the Group's loan portfolio at March 31, 2000 and June
30, 1999 was as follows:

==================== ==================
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Group maintains an allowance for loan losses at a level that management
considers adequate to provide for potential losses based upon an evaluation of
known and inherent risks. Oriental's allowance for loan losses policy provides
for a detailed quarterly analysis of possible losses. The analysis includes a
review of historical loan loss experience, value of underlying collateral,
current economic conditions, financial condition of borrowers and other
pertinent factors.
While management uses available information in estimating possible loan losses,
future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on factors beyond
Oriental's control, such as factors affecting Puerto Rico economic conditions.
Refer to Table 9 of the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" for the changes in the allowance for loan
losses for the third quarter and nine-month period ended March 31, 2000 and
1999.
The Group evaluates all loans, some individually and other as homogeneous
groups, for purposes of determining impairment. At March 31, 2000 and June 30,
1999, the Group determined that no impairment reserve was necessary.
NOTE 4 - PLEDGED ASSETS:
At March 31, 2000, residential mortgage loans and investment securities
amounting to $138,670,000 (June 30, 1999 - $100,509,000), and $899,713,000 (June
30, 1999 - $737,448,000), respectively, were pledged to secure public fund
deposits, investment securities sold under agreements to repurchase, letters of
credit, advances and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York,
term notes and interest rate swap agreements.
- 8 -
NOTE 5 - INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group uses interest rate swaps and caps as an interest rate risk hedging
mechanism. Under the swaps, the Group pays a fixed annual cost and receives a
floating ninety-day payment based on LIBOR. Floating rate payments received from
the swap counterparty correspond to the floating rate payments made on the
borrowings or notes thus resulting in a net fixed rate cost to the Group. Under
the caps, Oriental pays an up front premium or fee for the right to receive cash
flow payments in excess of the predetermined cap rate; thus, effectively capping
its interest rate cost for the duration of the agreement. The Group's swaps and
caps outstanding and their terms at March 31, 2000 and June 30, 1999 are set
forth in the table below:
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
---------------------------------------
MARCH 31, JUNE 30,
----------------- -----------------
SWAPS:
Pay fixed swaps notional amount $370,000 $245,000
Weighted average pay rate - fixed 5.83% 5.66%
Weighted average receive rate - floating 6.04% 5.09%

CAPS:
Cap agreements notional amount $60,000 $100,000
Cap rate 6.50% 6.50%
Maturity in months 2 to 9 4 to 15
The agreements were signed to convert short-term borrowings into fixed rate
liabilities for longer periods of time and provide protection against increases
in interest rates. The amounts potentially subject to credit loss are the net
streams of payments under the agreements and not the notional principal amounts
used to express the volume of the swaps. The Group controls the credit risk of
its interest rate swap agreements through approvals, limits, monitoring
procedures and collateral, where considered necessary. The Group does not
anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.
The Bank offers its customers certificates of deposit tied to the performance of
one of the following stock market indexes, Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock
Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average and Russell 2000 Small Stock Index. At the
end of five years, the depositor will receive a specified percent of the average
increase of the month-end value of the corresponding stock index. If such index
decreases, the depositor receives the principal without any interest. The Group
uses interest rate swap agreements with major money center banks to manage its
exposure to the stock market. Under the terms of the agreements, the Group will
receive the average increase in the month-end value of the corresponding index
in exchange for a semiannual fixed interest cost. At March 31, 2000, the
notional amount of these agreements totaled $93,430,000 (June 30, 1999 -
$79,815,000) at a weighted average rate of 5.84% (June 30, 1999 - 5.81%).
At March 31, 2000, interest rate swap and caps maturities by fiscal year are as
follows:

NOTE 6 - SEGMENT REPORTING (UNAUDITED):
The Group operates three major reportable segments: Financial Services, Mortgage
Banking and Retail Banking. Management determined the reportable segments based
on the internal reporting used to evaluate performance and to assess where to
allocate resources. Other factors such as the Group's organizational chart,
nature of products, distribution channels and economic characteristics of the
products were also considered in the determination of the reportable segments.
The Group monitors the performance of these reportable segments, based on
pre-established goals of different financial parameters such as net income,
interest spread, loan production, fees generated, and increase in market share.
The Group's largest business segment is retail banking, which is mainly
comprised of the Bank's branches and loan centers with such retail products as
deposits and consumer loans. Commercial and finance leases are also considered
in the retail business. This segment is also responsible for the Bank's mortgage
loans portfolio, and the Group's investment portfolios and treasury functions.
- 9 -
The Group's second largest business segment is the financial services, which is
comprised of the Bank's trust division (Oriental Trust) and the registered
broker-dealer subsidiary (Oriental Financial Services). The core operations of
this segment are financial planning, money management and investment brokerage
services, as well as corporate and individual trust services. The last and
smallest business segment is mortgage banking. It consists of Oriental Mortgage,
whose principal activity is to originate and purchase mortgage loans and
subsequently sell them in the secondary market. Following are the results of
operations and the selected financial information by operating segment for each
of the third quarters and nine-month periods ended March 31:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
As shown in the selected financial data table on page 12, the Group's net
income for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 totaled $22.60 million, up
18.7% from $19.04 million reported for the comparable nine-month period of
fiscal 1999. Earnings per share for the nine-month period ended March 31,
2000 was $1.59, a 12% increase when compared to $1.42 tallied the similar
period ended March 31, 1999. Preferred dividends paid were $1.79 million
during the first nine months of fiscal 2000 versus none in the comparable
period of fiscal 1999.
Higher core revenues along with strict cost control measures, which helped
minimize the impact caused by the increase in the cost of funds that followed
the hike in interest rates, drove this earnings improvement. Return on common
equity (ROE) was 30.61% for the nine-month period, up from 22.77% the previous
comparable period. Return on assets (ROA) rose to 1.80%, from 1.78% tallied the
previous nine-month period, while the efficiency ratio improved to 47.23% from
48.40%.
Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 amounted to $6.66 million or
$0.46 earnings per share compared with $6.62 million or $0.50 per share
reported in the same quarter of fiscal 1999. Quarterly results ROE was 26.18%
(up from 25.02%), ROA was 1.53% (down from 1.76%) and the efficiency ratio
was 51.21% (up from 48.02%). The increase in the efficiency ratio is
attributed to the increase in the cost of funds, as a result of the Fed
interest rates hikes, which reduced the interest rate spread of the bank to
2.43 % during the third quarter from 3.5% the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
Financial assets, which include the Group's assets and assets managed by the
trust and brokerage business, reached $3.989 billion at the end of the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 -- up 7.7% from $3.704 billion at the end of the same
period of fiscal 1999. The Group's assets grew 14.1% to $1.752 billion at March
31, 2000, up from $1.535 billion a year ago. Assets managed by the trust and
broker-dealer increased 3.1% to $2.238 billion from $2.169 billion the year
before.

EARNINGS ANALYSIS
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income is the Group's main source of earnings. It is affected by
the difference between rates of interest earned on the Group's interest-earning
assets and rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities (interest rate spread)
and the relative amounts of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities (interest rate margin). As further discussed in the Risk Management
section, the Group constantly monitors the composition and repricing of its
assets and liabilities to maintain its net interest income at adequate levels
and to avoid undertaking highly sensitive positions that could affect its
earnings capacity in a volatile interest rate environment.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the Group's net interest income amounted
to $10.6 million, down 8.1% from $11.5 million in the same period of fiscal
1999. The reduction in net interest income was directly due to a negative rate
variance of $2.1 million as result of a higher average cost of funds (5.40% in
2000 versus 4.91% in 1999) in line with the Fed is interest rates hikes. For the
first nine months of fiscal 2000, net interest income rose 8.7% to $34.5 million
from $31.7 million in the comparable period a year earlier. A larger volume of
interest-earning assets ($1.60 billion in 2000 versus $1.32 billion in 1999)
propelled this growth in net interest income.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2000, interest rate spread narrowed 83 basis
points to 2.24% from 3.07% the year before. For the first nine months of fiscal
2000, it declined 40 basis points to 2.59% from 2.99% a year earlier. An
increase in the average cost of funds combined with a change in the mix of
interest-earning assets toward a higher volume of lower risk and tax-free
investment securities was responsible for both spread reductions. Tables 1 and
1A analyze the major categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, their respective interest income, expenses, yields and costs, and
their impact on net interest income due to changes in volume and rates.
The Group's interest income for third quarter of fiscal 2000 totaled $31.8
million, up 14.3% from $27.8 million posted in the same period of fiscal 1999.
The increase in interest income results from a larger average volume of
interest-earning assets ($1.667 billion in 2000 versus $1.403 billion in 1999)
tempered by a decline in their yield performance (7.64% in 2000 versus 7.98% in
1999). For the first nine months of fiscal 2000, interest income rose 16.5% to
$93.3 million from $80.0 million in the comparable period a year earlier. A
greater average volume of interest-earning assets ($1.602 billion in 2000 versus
$1.321 billion in 1999), partially offset by a decline in their yield
performance (7.75% in 2000 versus 8.07% in 1999) triggered this increase. See
Tables 1 and 1A for the impact in interest income due to changes in volume and
rates.
Average interest-earning assets for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 reached
$1.667 billion, an increase of 18.9% compared with $1.402 billion in fiscal
1999. For the first nine months of fiscal 2000, they reached $1.602 billion,
21.3% higher than $1.321 billion a year earlier. Most of the increase in
interest-earning assets was reflected on the investment portfolio. For the third
quarter of fiscal 2000, the average volume of total investments grew by 28.3%
($1.090 billion in 2000 versus $849.5 million in 1999) when compared to the same
period a year earlier. For first nine months of fiscal 2000, they increased
33.2% ($1.032 billion in 2000 versus $774.1 million in 1999) versus the
comparative period of fiscal 1999. Both increases were concentrated in
mortgage-backed securities as Oriental continued converting residential real
estate loans sold in the secondary market into tax-advantaged mortgage-backed
securities.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the average yield on interest-earning
assets was 7.64%, 34 basis points lower than the 7.98% attained in the same
period of fiscal 1999. For the first nine months of fiscal 2000 it was 7.75%, 32
basis points lower than the 8.07% reported a year ago. The yield dilution
experienced in both periods of fiscal 2000 was primarily related to the strong
expansion of Group's investment portfolio, which carries a lower yield than the
loan portfolio but provides less risk and generates a significant amount of
tax-exempt interest. Another factor was also the dilution of the loan portfolio
yield, which decreased by 98 basis points (9.34% versus 10.32%) in the third
quarter and 56 basis points (9.74% versus 10.30%) during the first nine months.
A change in the loan portfolio mix toward low-risk residential mortgage loans
was the main reason for this yield decline.
Interest expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 rose 30.1% to $21.2
million from $16.3 million reported in the comparable period of fiscal 1999. A
larger base of interest-bearing liabilities ($1.577 billion in 2000 versus
$1.347 billion in 1999) used to fund the growth of Group's interest-earning
assets combined with a higher average cost of funds (5.40% versus 4.91%), due to
Fed interest rates hikes, drove the increase. For the first nine months of
fiscal 2000, interest expense grew by 21.7% to $58.8 million from $48.3 million
posted the year before. A higher volume of interest-bearing liabilities ($1.512
billion in 2000 versus $1.266 billion in 1999) combined with a higher average
cost of funds (5.16% versus 5.08%), due to rates hikes, caused this rise. Larger
volumes of repurchase agreements and deposits, which were necessary to fund the
growth of the Group's investment portfolio, drove both increases in
interest-bearing liabilities. See Tables 1 and 1A for the impact in interest
expense due to changes in volume and rates.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2000, the average cost of funds on
interest-bearing liabilities was 5.40%, compared with 4.91% attained in fiscal
1999, up 49 basis points. For the first nine months of fiscal 2000, it only rose
8 basis points (5.16% versus 5.08%). A higher interest rate scenario as result
of the tightening policy by the Federal Reserve triggered the rise. The cost of
short-term financing has substantially increased since early fiscal 2000. This
had an adverse effect on the Group's cost of funds, primarily during the past
two quarters, as the cost of funds of the Group's short-term repricing
borrowings, mainly comprised of repurchase agreements, has substantially
increased. For the third quarter ended March 31, 2000, the cost of borrowings
increased 61 basis points (5.79% versus 5.18%) mainly due to an increase in the
cost of repurchase agreements of 95 basis points (5.90% versus 4.95%).

NON-INTEREST INCOME
As a diversified financial services provider (See table 2), the Group's earnings
depend not only on the net interest income generated from its banking activity,
but also from fees and other non-interest income generated from the wide array
of financial services offered. Non-interest income, the second largest source of
earnings, is affected by the level of trust assets under management,
transactions generated by gathering of financial assets by the broker-dealer
subsidiary, the level of mortgage banking activities, and fees generated from
loans and deposit accounts.
In line with the Group's strategy of revenue expansion, recurrent non-interest
revenues continued to be a catalyst of the Group's earnings performance for both
periods of fiscal 2000. For the third quarter, they rose 8.8% to $6.4 million
from $5.9 million in the preceding year third quarter. For the first nine months
they were 8.4% higher, $18.5 million versus $17.1 million in the same period of
fiscal 1999. Higher trust, brokerage, money management and bank service fees
drove these improvements (see Table 3).
Trust, money management and brokerage fees, the principal component of recurrent
non-interest income, continued an excellent growth pattern during the third
quarter of fiscal 2000, rising 37.5% to $3.4 million from $2.5 million in the
preceding third quarter. For the first nine months, grew 23.9% to $8.8 million
from $7.1 million the year before. The larger volume of accounts and assets
managed by both the Group's trust department and the broker-dealer subsidiary
triggered these growths (see "Financial Condition" section).
For the third quarter of fiscal 2000, gains generated by mortgage banking
activities amounted to $1.5 million, 34.1% lower than the $2.3 million, earned
in same quarter of fiscal 1999. This decrease reflects a lower volume of loans
sold during the past quarter. For the first nine months of fiscal 2000, mortgage
banking activities totaled $5.2 million versus $6.8 million in the comparable
period of fiscal 1999, down 22.4%. Decreased volume of loan production,
partially offset by higher spreads attained in certain of the loan products sold
in the first half of fiscal 2000, caused this reduction.
Bank services fees and other operating revenues consist primarily of fees
generated by deposit accounts, leasing, electronic banking and customer
services. These revenues totaled $1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal
2000, a 33.1% hike versus the $1.1 million reported in the same period of fiscal
1999. For the first nine months of fiscal 2000, they totaled $4.5 million, up
38.8% versus $3.2 million in the comparable period of fiscal 1999. Increases in
both periods reflect higher revenues from bank services and deposit accounts,
which were driven by a new banking fees structure, expansion of the electronic
banking business and a growth in its core deposit base.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2000, non-recurrent securities and trading gains
which are subject to market conditions amounted to $348,000 versus $1.9 million
reported in the same period a year ago. For the first nine months, they amounted
to $1.1 million versus $10.5 million the year before.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSES
As shown in Table 4, non-interest expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2000
only increased 3.1% to $8.7 million from $8.4 million in the comparable period
of fiscal 1999. The efficiency and expense ratios for this quarter were 51.20%
(up from 48.02%) and 0.55% (improve from 0.73%), respectively. For the first
nine months of fiscal 2000, non-interest expenses totaled $25.0 million, up 4.0%
from $24.1 million in the same period of 1999. Notwithstanding this increase,
the efficiency and expense ratios for the nine month period improved to 47.22%
(down from 48.40% in 1999) and 0.54% (down from 0.67% in 1999), respectively.
The marginally increases on non-interest expenses reflects the Group's strict
cost control policy.
Employee compensation and benefits is the Group's largest expense category. For
the third quarter of fiscal 2000, it decreased 1.5% to $3.7 million (0.86% of
total average assets) versus $3.8 million (1.00 % of total average assets) in
the same period of fiscal 1999. A decline in variable compensation (which is
tied to production) was the main reason for the decrease. For the first nine
months of fiscal 2000, compensation amounted $11.1 million (0.89% of total
average assets) versus $11.0 million (1.03% of total average assets) in the
comparable period of fiscal 1999. Tight control over the Group's level of staff
achieved this slight increase (see Table 4), despite an increase in the volume
of business and the asset base. Refer to Table 4 for more selected data
regarding employee compensation and benefits.
Other non-interest expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 6.6%
to $5.0 million as compared to $4.7 million in the same period of fiscal 1999.
Increased communication and occupancy and equipment costs (mainly technology)
led this rise. These increases reflect the additional investment required to
support the growth of the Group's business activity and the enhancements made to
the Group's systems to enable the expansion of its electronic delivery
capability and improvement of customers' service.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2000, other recurring non-interest expenses
increased 7.6% to $25.5 million as compared to $23.7 million in fiscal 1999
comparable period. A greater amount of occupancy and equipment expenses,
combined with higher professional and service fees led this rise -- directly
related to the Group's expansion and new lines of businesses. The larger amount
of professional and service fees reflect the Group's higher expenditures related
with consulting and technical support. Also, expenditures to prepare the Group
for the year 2000 (Y2K) computer readiness and other expenses related to the
recent conversion of the Group's electronic core system were responsible for
this growth.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 totaled $1.5
million, down 53.1% from the $3.2 million reported in the same period of fiscal
1999. For the first nine months of fiscal 2000 it amounted to $4.75 million,
63.3% lower than $12.95 million reported in fiscal 1999 comparable period. Both
declines were in response to the lower level of net credit losses and
non-performing assets, and current and expected economic conditions. Please
refer to the allowance for loan losses and non-performing assets section for a
more detailed analysis of the allowances for loan losses, net credit losses and
credit quality statistics.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 amounted to
$452,000 (6.4% of pre-tax earnings) compared with $1.07 million (13.9% of
pre-tax earnings) a year ago, down 57.8%. For the first nine months of fiscal
2000, they amounted to $1.67 million (6.9% of pre-tax earnings) versus $3.21
million (14.4% of pre-tax earnings) the year before, 47.8% lower. These
reductions were principally due to a higher amount of tax-exempt income
generated by the Group's investment portfolio. The difference between the
effective tax rates and the maximum statutory tax rate for the Group, which is
39%, is primarily due to the interest income earned on certain investments and
loans which is exempt from income tax, net of the disallowance of related
expenses attributable to the exempt income.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
GROUP'S ASSETS
At March 31, 2000, the Group's total assets amounted to $1.752 billion, an
increase of 14.1% when compared to $1.535 billion a year ago. At the same date,
interest-earning assets reached $1.671 billion, up 13.8% versus $1.469 billion a
year earlier. An expansion of 13.8% in the Group's investment portfolio,
particularly mortgage-backed securities, made both increases possible (see Table
5).
Investments are Oriental's largest interest-earning assets component. It mainly
consists of money market investments, U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Government
agencies bonds, mortgage-backed securities, CMO's and P. R. Government municipal
bonds. At March 31, 2000, the Group's investment portfolio is of high quality.
Approximately 98% is rated AAA and it generates a significant amount of
tax-exempt interest which lowers the Group's effective tax rate (see Table 5 and
Note 2 of the attached Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements).
A strong growth in mortgage-backed securities and CMO's drove the investment
portfolio expansion. They increased 20.1% to $831.3 million (76.1% of the total
portfolio) from $692 million (77.3% of the total portfolio) the year before, as
Oriental continued its strategy of pooling residential real estate loans into
mortgage-backed securities. Also, a 28.2% rise in the FHLB stock and other
investments along with increase of 27.8% in U. S. and P. R. government
securities portfolio enhanced this growth. At March 31, 2000, they amounted to
$22.0 (2.1 % of the total portfolio) and $238.3 million (21.8% of the total
portfolio), respectively, versus $17.2 million (1.9% of the total portfolio) and
$186.4 million or (20.8% of the total portfolio) respectively, a year ago.
At March 31, 2000, Oriental's loan portfolio, the second largest category of the
Bank's interest-earning assets, amounted to $586.5 million, 0.6% higher than the
$582.9 million a year ago. Expansions in the real estate and consumer portfolios
and a decrease in the allowance for loan losses led this increase; partially
offset by a downsize in the leasing portfolio. LATE IN THE SECOND QUARTER ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1999, THE GROUP'S LOANS ORIGINATIONS STRATEGY CHANGED TOWARD
COLLATERALIZED LOANS, PRIMARILY MORTGAGE LOANS AND PERSONAL LOANS WITH MORTGAGE
COLLATERAL WHILE DE-EMPHASIZING UNSECURED PERSONAL LOANS. THIS STRATEGY SHOULD
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE CREDIT LOSSES AND ENHANCE PORTFOLIO QUALITY. Table 5
presents the Group's loan portfolio composition and mix at the end of the
periods analyzed.
The Group's real estate loans portfolio is mainly comprised of residential
loans, home equity loans and personal loans collateralized by real estate. At
March 31, 2000, the real estate loans portfolio amounted to $348.2 million
(59.4% of the loan portfolio), a 3.9% increase when compared to $335.2 million
(57.5% of the loan's portfolio) the year before. This growth was achieved
despite the sale of over $200 million in residential loans during the past
twelve months as management took advantage of market conditions to convert the
bulk of its mortgage origination into mortgage-backed securities.
The second largest component of the Group's loan portfolio is consumer loans,
which mainly includes unsecured personal loans, margin loans, cash collateral
loans and credit lines. At March 31,2000, the consumer loans portfolio totaled
$127.6 million (21.8% of the Group's loan portfolio), a 8.4% growth compared to
the $117.7 million (20.2% of the Group's loan portfolio) a year ago. The largest
contributors to this rise were unsecured personal loans and personal credit
cards, which grew 3.5% and 32.9%, respectively over the past twelve months.
Personal Unsecured Loans increased to $108.6 million from $104.9 million
reported last year, while personal credit cards rose to $10.3 million from $7.7
million.
The Group's leasing portfolio consists of auto and equipment leases. At March
31, 2000, it amounted to $89.8 million (15.3% of the loan portfolio), down
23.7% versus $117.6 million (20.2% of the loan portfolio) a year ago. The
Group's intentional slowdown in lease originations, due to stronger
underwriting standards and discontinued equipment-leasing origination in
March 1999, caused the downsizing.

LIABILITIES AND FUNDING SOURCES
As shown in Table 6, at March 31, 2000, Oriental's total liabilities reached
$1.621 billion, 13.4% higher than the $1.430 billion reported a year earlier.
Interest-bearing liabilities, the Group's funding sources, amounted to
$1,588.6 billion at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2000 versus
$1,388.6 billion the year before, a 14.4% increase. A rise in borrowed funds,
mainly on FHLB funds and repurchase agreements, drove these growths.
At March 31, 2000, DEPOSITS, the second largest category of the Group's
interest-bearing liabilities and a cost-effective source of funding, reached
$648.4 million, up 2.3% versus the $633.9 million a year ago. A $26.1 million or
5.4% increase in time deposits and IRA accounts realized most of the growth,
partially offset by a $11.6 million or 7.9% decrease in demand and savings
deposits. Table 6 presents the composition of the Group's deposits at the end of
the periods analyzed.
Borrowings are Oriental's largest interest-bearing liability component. It
consists mainly of diversified funding sources through the use of Federal Home
Loan Bank of New York (FHLB) advances and borrowings, repurchase agreements,
term notes, notes payable and lines of credit. At March 31, 2000, they amounted
to $935.6 million, 24.8% higher than the $749.6 million a year ago. This
increase reflects a strong growth in repurchase agreements, which was necessary
to fund the increase in interest-earning assets experienced during the period,
particularly investment securities.
The FHLB system functions as a source of credit to financial institutions that
are members of a regional Federal Home Loan Bank. As a member of the of the FHLB
the Group can obtain advances from the FHLB, secured by the FHLB stock owned by
the Group, as well as by certain of the Group's mortgages and investment
securities. Table 6 presents the composition of the Group's other borrowings at
the end of the periods analyzed.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
At March 31, 2000, Oriental's total stockholders' equity reached $130.2 million,
a 24.1% increase from $104.9 million a year ago. The main reasons for this
growth were earnings reported during the past 12 months combined with $32.3
million in net proceeds generated from the issuance of preferred stock. For more
in the Group's of stockholders' equity expansion, refer to the Unaudited
Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity and of Comprehensive
Income included in the attached Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2000, the Group repurchased 92,900 common
shares bringing to 996,799 shares (with a cost of $25.5 million) the number of
shares held by the Group's treasury. The Group's common stock is traded in the
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol OFG. At March 31, 2000, the
Group's market value for its outstanding stock was $243.2 million ($19.00 per
share) versus $380.7 million ($27.94 per share) a year earlier.
At March 31, 2000, the Group's book value per share was $7.55 versus $7.70 a
year ago. A $16.6 million unfavorable turnaround in the fair value of securities
available-for-sale (included as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss)
along with $11.8 million on treasury stock repurchases over the last 12 months
caused this book value drop.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2000, the Group declared dividends
amounting to $5.8 million ($0.45 per share) compared to $5.4 million ($0.413 per
share) in the same period of fiscal 1999, up 5.7%. For the first nine months of
fiscal 2000, the dividend payout ratio and dividend yield were 27.64% and 2.78%,
respectively, compared to 28.57% and 1.86%, respectively, in the preceding
fiscal year.
Under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, for banks and bank
holding companies which meet or exceed a Tier I risk-based ratio of 6%, a total
capital risk-based ratio of 10% and a leverage ratio of 5% are considered well
capitalized. As shown on Table 7, the Group exceeds those regulatory risk-based
capital requirements, due to the high level of capital and the conservative
nature of the Group's assets.
GROUP'S FINANCIAL ASSETS
As shown on Table 8, the Group`s total financial assets include the Group's
assets and assets managed by the trust and brokerage business. At March 31,
2000, they reached $3.989 billion - up 7.7% from $3.704 billion a year ago. The
Group's financial assets main component is the assets owned by the Group, of
which about 99% are owned by the Group's banking subsidiary. For more on this
financial asset component, refer to Group's Assets under Financial Condition.
Oriental's second largest financial assets component is assets managed by the
trust. The Group's trust offers various different types of IRA products and
manages 401(K) and Keogh retirement plans, custodian and corporate trust
accounts. At March 31, 2000, total assets managed by the Group's trust amounted
$1.387 billion, 3.7% higher than the $1.338 billion a year ago. This increase
was fueled by a solid 12.3% growth in individual retirement accounts (IRA), the
most significant asset managed, which totaled $553.2 million versus the $492.5
million a year ago.
The other financial asset component is assets gathered by the broker-dealer. The
Group's broker-dealer subsidiary offers a wide array of investment alternatives
to its client's base such as fixed and variable annuities, tax-advantaged fixed
income securities, mutual funds, stocks and bonds. At March 31, 2000, total
assets gathered by the broker-dealer from its customer investment accounts
reached $850.3 million, up 2.2% from $831.7 million a year ago.
- 22 -
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND NON-PERFORMING ASSETS:
At March 31, 2000, the Group's allowance for loan losses amounted to $6.85
million (1.17% of total loans) versus $9.61 million (1.65% of total loans) a
year earlier. The Group maintains an allowance for loan losses at a level that
management considers adequate to provide for potential losses based upon an
evaluation of known and inherent risks. Oriental's allowance for loan losses
policy provides for a detailed quarterly analysis of possible losses. The
analysis includes a review of historical loan loss experience, value of
underlying collateral, current economic conditions, financial condition of
borrowers and other pertinent factors.
While management uses available information in estimating possible loan losses,
future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on factors beyond
Oriental's control, such as factors affecting Puerto Rico economic conditions.
In addition, bank regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination
process, periodically review the Group's allowance for loan losses. Such
agencies may require the Group to recognize additions to the allowance based on
their judgment of information available at the time of their examinations.
Net credit losses for the third quarter of fiscal 2000, totaled $2.31 million
(1.60% of average loans), a decrease of 29.6% when compared to $3.29 million
(2.29% of average loans) for the same period of fiscal 1999. For the first nine
months of fiscal 2000, they amounted to $6.91 million (1.61% of average loans),
a decrease of 23.3% when compared to $9.0 million (2.11% of average loans) for
the comparable period of fiscal 1999.
The lower level of net credit losses experienced during both periods of fiscal
2000 was primarily associated to a reduction in financing leases net credit
losses. It is worth noting that the tighter underwriting standards and
collection procedures implemented last year are showing positive results. Table
9 sets forth an analysis of activity in the allowance for loan losses and
presents selected loan loss statistics.
The Group's non-performing assets include non-performing loans, foreclosed real
estate owned and other repossessed assets (see Table 10). At March 31, 2000, the
Group's asset quality improved as non-performing assets totaled $17.4 million
(0.99% of total assets) versus $21.4 million (1.40% of total assets) at the same
date of fiscal 1999. The decrease was principally due to a lower level of
non-performing loans; mainly non-performing real estate loans and financing
leases. This improvement stems from tighter underwriting standards and
collection procedures implemented, as previously explained.
At March 31, 2000, the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans
coverage ratio was 41.31%. Excluding the lesser-risk real estate loans, the
ratio is much higher, 74.92%. Detailed information concerning each of the items
that comprise non-performing assets follows:
- - REAL ESTATE LOANS - are placed on a non-accrual basis when they become 90
days or more past due, except for well-secured residential loans, and are
charged-off based on the specific evaluation of the collateral underlying
the loan. At March 31, 2000, the Group's non-performing real estate loans
totaled $7.43 million (44.9% of the Group's non-performing loans).
Non-performing loans in this category are primarily residential mortgage
loans. Based on the value of the underlying collateral and the
loan-to-value ratios, management considers that no significant losses will
be incurred on this portfolio.
- - COMMERCIAL BUSINESS LOANS - are placed on non-accrual basis when they
become 90 days or more past due and are charged-off based on the specific
evaluation of the collateral underlying the loan. At March 31, 2000, the
Group's non-performing commercial business loans amounted to $984,000 (5.9%
of the Group's non-performing loans). Of the total balance, $835,000 (8
loans) are guaranteed by real estate.
- - FINANCE LEASES - are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days
past due unless well secured by its collateral. At March 31, 2000, the
Group's non-performing auto and equipment leases portfolio amounted to
$7.21 million (43.5% of the Group's total non-performing loans). The
underlying collateral secures these financing leases.
- - CONSUMER LOANS - are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days
past due and charged-off when payments are delinquent 120 days. At March
31, 2000, the Group's non-performing consumer loans amounted to $945,000
(5.7% of the Group's total non-performing loans).
- - FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE - is initially recorded at the lower of the related
loan balance or fair value at the date of foreclosure, any excess of the
loan balance over the estimated fair market value of the property is
charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequently, any excess of
the carrying value over the estimated fair market value less disposition
cost is charged to operations. Management is actively seeking prospective
buyers for these foreclosed real estate properties.
- - OTHER REPOSSESSED ASSETS - are initially recorded at estimated net
realizable value. At the time of disposition, any additional losses
incurred are charged against the allowance for loan losses. At March 31,
2000, the inventory of repossessed automobiles consisted of 27 units
amounting to $308,000 ($11,410 average per unit).
YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE
The millennium date change did not cause any critical problems to the Group's
computers and management information systems, which already had been tested and
fully certified as being Y2K compliant under regulatory guidelines.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTEREST RATE RISK AND ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The Group's interest rate risk and asset/liability management is the
responsibility of the Asset and Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"), which
reports to the Board of Directors and is composed of members of the Group's
senior management. The principal objective of ALCO is to enhance profitability
while maintaining an appropriate level of interest rate and liquidity risks.
ALCO is also involved in formulating economic projections and strategies used by
the Group in its planning and budgeting process; and oversees the Group's
sources, uses and pricing of funds.
Interest rate risk can be defined as the exposure of the Group's operating
results or financial position to adverse movements in market interest rates
which mainly occurs when assets and liabilities reprice at different times and
at different rates. This difference is commonly referred to as a "maturity
mismatch" or "gap". The Group employs various techniques to assess the degree of
interest rate risk.
The Group is liability sensitive due to its fixed rate and medium-term asset
composition being funded with shorter-term repricing liabilities. As a result,
the Group uses interest rate swaps and caps as a hedging mechanism to offset
said mismatch and control exposures of interest rate risk. Under the swaps, the
Group pays a fixed annual cost and receives a floating ninety-day payment based
on LIBOR. Floating rate payments received from the swap counterparty correspond
to the floating rate payments made on the borrowings or notes thus resulting in
a net fixed rate cost to the Group. Interest rate caps provide protection
against increases in interest rates above cap rates.
LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT
Liquidity refers to the level of cash, eligible investments easily converted
into cash and lines of credit available to meet unanticipated requirements. The
objective of the Group's liquidity management is to meet operating expenses and
ensure sufficient cash flow to fund the origination and acquisition of assets,
the repayment of deposit withdrawals and the maturities of borrowings. Other
objectives pursued in the Group's liquidity management are the diversification
of funding sources and the control of interest rate risk. Management tries to
diversify the sources of financing used by the Group to avoid undue reliance on
any particular source.
At March 31, 2000, the Group's liquidity was deemed appropriate. At such date
the Group's liquid assets amounted to $991 million, this includes $62.9 million
available from unused lines of credit with other financial institutions and
$43.6 million of borrowing potential with the FHLB. The Group's liquidity
position is reviewed and monitored by the ALCO Committee on a regular basis.
Management believes that the Group will continue to maintain adequate liquidity
levels in the future.
The Group's principal sources of funds are net deposit inflows, loan repayments,
mortgage-backed and investment securities principal and interest payments,
reverse repurchase agreements, FHLB advances and other borrowings. The Group has
obtained long-term funding through the issuance of notes and long-term reverse
repurchase agreements. The Group's principal uses of funds are the origination
and purchase of loans, the purchase of mortgage-backed and investment
securities, the repayment of maturing deposits and borrowings.
PART - 2
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Group and its subsidiaries are defendants in a number of legal claims under
various theories of damages arising out of, and incidental to its business. The
Group is vigorously contesting those claims. Based upon a review with legal
counsel and the development of these matters to date, management is of the
opinion that the ultimate aggregate liability, if any, resulting from these
claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position
or the result of operations.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES - NONE
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES - NONE
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITIES HOLDERS - NONE
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On August 14, 1998, as a result of a review of its accounts in connection with
the admission of a former Group officer of having embezzled funds, the Group
became aware of certain irregularities. The Group notified the appropriate
regulatory authorities and commenced an intensive investigation with the
assistance of its independent auditors and legal counsel. The recently completed
investigation determined losses of $9,500,616 resulting from dishonest and
fraudulent acts and omissions involving several former Group's employees. In the
opinion of the Group's management and its legal counsel, the losses determined
by the investigation are covered by the Group's fidelity insurance. Claims for
such losses have been presented to the Group's fidelity insurance carrier and
they are being vigorously pursued. Management and legal counsel are of the
opinion that collection of the losses from the fidelity insurer is highly
probable.
