MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor
provisions regarding forward-looking statements. When used in this discussion,
the words "believes", "anticipates", "contemplates", "expects", and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include
changes in interest rates, risks associated with the ability to control costs
and expenses, and general economic conditions. Advance Financial Bancorp (the
"Company") undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any
revisions to those forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect
events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30,1999 AND JUNE 30, 1999
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total assets increased by approximately $7,642,000 to $137,568,714 at September
30,1999, from $129,926,636 at June 30, 1999. Deposits, which increased by
$5,252,000, were used to fund loan demand and purchases of investment
securities.
Interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions decreased by
$1,164,000 to $1,800,118 at September 30, 1999, from $2,964,166 at June 30,
1999. This decrease was used primarily to purchase Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") bonds classified as available for sale.
Investment securities available for sale increased by $4,411,000 to $8,892,306
at September 30, 1999 from $4,481,475 at June 30, 1999. This increase includes
approximately $1,970,000 in four FHLB bonds with callable options ranging from 3
months to 2 years and an effective weighted average interest rate of 7.45%. The
funding for these bonds came from the strong deposit growth and the use of
interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions. The increase also
includes the purchase of a $2,500,000 15-year FHLB bond with a callable option
of 1-year and an effective interest yield of 8.10%. The funding for this bond
came from a FHLB advance that matures in one year and has an effective cost of
funds of 5.94%. Management placed these investments into this category for
liquidity purposes while maximizing interest yields in excess of the federal
overnight rates paid on interest-bearing demand deposits.
Net loans receivable increased by $4,515,000 to $114,414,775 at September 30,
1999, from $109,899,551 at June 30, 1999. The loan demand was spread over the
entire portfolio. Loans secured by 1-4 family residences increased by $2,300,000
due to demand for ARMs and the bank's "no fee" Equity Line of Credit program.
Multi-family residential loans increased by $932,000 due to strong loan demand
for the Company's competitively priced ARM products. Automobile loans increased
$600,000 due principally to increased loan activity written by automobile
dealership customers of the Company. Commercial loans increased by $517,000 due
principally to the addition of a new automobile dealership to the Company's
customer base. See "Risk Elements".
Deposits increased by $5,252,000 to $110,591,136 at September 30,1999 from
$105,338,770 at June 30, 1999. This increase is primarily the result of a
certificate of deposit special called "Advantage 2000" that offered above market
rates on certificates of deposit at 5.25% for 12 months and 5.50% for 18 months.
The "advantage" of this product is that the customers have a 10-day option at
the end of 1999 to redeem the certificate with no penalty. This successful
special was offered from June 20, 1999 to September 30, 1999. The Company
believes they will be able to retain these deposits during the option period by
continuing to offer the most competitive rates in their market area. Savings
deposits increased $427,000 while demand deposits decreased $472,000 for the
quarter. The demand deposit decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in
commercial checking of $1,278,000.
-7-
Equity capital decreased by approximately, $40,000 to $14,953,808 at September
30, 1999 from $14,993,452 at June 30, 1999. Net income of $205,000 and the
recognition of shares in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Restricted Stock
Plan of $81,900, were offset by the payment of cash dividends of $87,600, a
increase in net unrealized loss on securities of $41,200 and the purchase of
16,000 shares of treasury stock for $197,700, or an average cost of $12.36 per
share.
COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999 AND 1998
- -------------
Net interest income increased $201,000 or 19.96%, to $1,208,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, from $1,007,000 for the comparable period ended
1998. The increase in net interest income resulted primarily from an increase in
fluctuations of average volume of the underlying principle balances in interest
earning assets and liabilities. The net interest spread for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 increased to 3.29% from 3.15% for the comparable period
ended 1998. The average yield on interest earning assets decreased by 19 basis
points to 7.88% for the three months ended September 30, 1999, from 8.07% for
the comparable period ended 1998. The average cost of funds decreased by 33
basis points to 4.59% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from 4.92%
for the comparable period ended 1998.
Interest income increased $313,000 or 14.15% primarily from an increase in
earnings on loans of $217,000 or 10.62%, as the average principle balance
increased $12,912,000 or 13.07%, to $111,734,000 for the period ended September
30, 1999, from $98,822,000 for the comparable 1998 period. Interest income on
investments and interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions
increased approximately $96,000 or 57.84%, as average principal balances
increased $5,642,000 or 52.51% to $16,387,000 for the period ended September 30,
1999, from $10,745,000 for the comparable 1998 period.
Interest expense increased $112,000 or 9.25%, primarily from an increase in
interest on deposits of $91,000 or 8.4%, as the average balance increased
$15,867,000 or 17.9%, to $104,488,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1999, from $88,621,000 for the comparable 1998 period. Interest expense on
advances increased $21,000 or 16.56%, as the average balance increased
$1,083,000 or 11.81%, to $10,250,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1999, from $9,167,000 for the comparable 1998 period.
Based upon management's continuing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance
for loan losses which encompasses the overall risk characteristics of the
various portfolio segments, past experience with losses, the impact of economic
conditions on borrowers, and other relevant factors, the provision of loan
losses remained stable for the three months ended September 30, 1999,compared to
the same 1998 period. See "Risk Elements".
Noninterest income decreased $20,000 or 10.88%, to $166,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 from $186,000 for the comparable period ended 1998.
This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in gains on sales of fixed rate
mortgage loans and related servicing rights of $33,000 and $26,000,
respectively. Offsetting these decreases, are increases in service charges on
deposit accounts and ATM income of $18,500 and $11,300, respectively, due to
increased activity.
Noninterest expense increased $70,000 or 7.57%, to $995,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999, from $925,000 for the comparable 1998 period. For the
three month period ended, compensation and employee benefits increased $26,000
or 6.04%, due to the hiring of additional employees and related benefits for
loan collection, accounting and data processing, as well as, additional costs of
living increases for all full time employees. Occupancy and equipment increased
$21,000 or 14.92% due primarily to the incurrence of real estate taxes for the
Wintersville branch of $7,400 and an increase in depreciation expense for
equipment of $11,000. Other expenses increased $22,400 or 11.38%, due mainly to
benefit costs in connection with the Company's directors of $6,100, as well as,
additional Ohio franchise tax of $8,000 due to the Wintersville branch.
-8-
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and
prepayments of loans, maturities of investment securities, and funds provided
from operations. While scheduled loan prepayments are a relatively predicable
source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by
general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. In addition, the
Company invests excess funds in overnight deposits, which provide liquidity to
meet lending requirements.
The Company has other sources of liquidity if the need for additional funds
arises. An additional source of funds includes a RepoPlus line of credit with
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh amounting to $10 million. The Company
currently has no outstanding amount due on the RepoPlus line of credit.
As of September 30, 1999, the Company had commitments to fund loans of
approximately $1,358,600. These loan commitments were funded in October 1999.
The Company has developed a cash and liquidity plan as a result of their year
2000 preparedness and contingency planning. The plan involves the potential need
for additional cash in the event that customers and business react unpredictably
to possible year 2000 related problems. Part of that reaction could include the
demand for increased amount of cash by customers. The process of preparing for
this contingency will require the bank to withdraw money from interest-earning
deposit accounts or increase their borrowings to fund this infusion of cash
resources. In the event that customers do react unpredictably, the Company will
have an adequate cash supply to meet the customer demands, however, this
activity may cause shrinkage in deposits amounts. If such an event occurs, net
income for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 may slightly decrease
Management monitors both the Company's and the Bank's total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based and Tier I leveraged capital ratios in order to assess compliance
with regulatory guidelines. At September 30, 1999, both the Company and the Bank
exceeded the minimum risk-based and leveraged capital ratio requirements. The
Company's and the Bank's total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage
ratios are 16.53%, 15.88%, 10.87% and 15.34%, 14.70%, and 9.94%, respectively,
at September 30, 1999.

RISK ELEMENTS
- -------------
The table below presents information concerning nonperforming assets including
nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans, loans 90 days past due, other real estate
loans and repossessed assets. A loan is classified as nonaccrual when, in the
opinion of management, there are serious doubts about collectibility of interest
and principal. At the time the accrual of interest is discontinued, future
income is recognized only when cash is received. Renegotiated loans are those
loans which terms have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of
principal or interest as a result of the deterioration of the borrower.

===== =====
As of September 30, 1999, the total investment in impaired loans was $385,922,
and such amount was subject to a specific allowance for loan losses of $31,322.
The average investment in impaired loans during the quarter ended September 30,
1999 was $385,922. The interest income potential based upon the original term of
the contracts of these impaired loans was $8,704 for the quarter ended September
30, 1999. No interest income was recognized during the quarter. In October 1999,
the Company concluded a foreclosure action on the properties securing all of the
impaired loans as of September 30, 1999 and reclassified them as "Other Real
Estate Owned". Such properties were recorded at fair market value, which was
approximately $355,000.
During the three month period ended September 30, 1999, net loans increased
approximately $4,515,000 and nonperforming loans decreased $65,000 while the
allowance for loan losses increased $23,800 for the same period. The level of
funding for the provision is a reflection of the overall loan demand and is not
an indication of any decline in the quality of the loan portfolio. Nonaccrual
loans consist of $149,000 in one to four family residential mortgages, $317,000
in commercial real estate and $69,000 in commercial loans. The nonaccrual
commercial real estate loan and commercial loan are classified as impaired and
are included above
Management regularly performs an analysis to identify the inherent risks of loss
in its loan portfolio. This evaluation includes evaluations of concentrations of
credit, past loss experience, current economic conditions, amount and
composition of loan portfolio (including loans being specifically monitored by
management), estimated fair value of underlying collateral, loan commitments
outstanding, delinquencies, and other information available at such times.
-10-
The Company monitors its allowance for loan losses and makes future adjustments
to the allowance through the provision for loan losses as economic conditions
dictate. Management continues to offer a wide variety of loan products. Although
the Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level that it considers
to be adequate to provide for the inherent risk of loss in its portfolio, there
can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that
additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods due
to the higher degree of credit risk included in the loan portfolio.

YEAR 2000 EVALUATION
- --------------------
Rapid and accurate data processing is essential to the Company's operations.
Many computer programs can only distinguish the final two digits of the year
entered (a common programming practice in prior years) and are expected to read
entries for the year 2000 as the year 1900 or as zero and an incorrect attempt
to compute payment, interest, delinquency and other data. The Company has been
evaluating both information technology (computer systems) and non-information
technology systems (e.g. vault timers, electronic door lock and elevator
controls). Based upon such evaluations; management has determined that the
Company has year 2000 risk in three areas: (1) Company's own computers, (2)
Computers of others used by the Company's borrowers, and (3) Computers of others
who provide the Company with data processing.
-11-
COMPANY'S OWN COMPUTERS. As of September 30, 1999, the Company has upgraded its
computer system to comply with the year 2000 risk. Such costs expended were not
material to the financial statements of the Company. The Company does not
anticipate any additional costs throughout the remainder of calendar 1999.
BORROWERS The Company has evaluated most of their borrowers and does not believe
the year 2000 problem should, on an aggregate basis, impact their ability to
make payments to the Company. The Company believes that most of their
residential borrowers are not dependent on their home computers for income and
that none of their commercial borrowers are so large that the year 2000 problem
would render them unable to collect revenue or rent and, in turn, continue to
make loan payments to the Company. The Company does not expect any material
costs to address this risk area throughout the remainder of calendar 1999, and
believes they are year 2000 compliant in this risk area.
DATA PROCESSING This risk is primarily focused on one third party service bureau
that provides virtually all of the Company's data processing. In November of
1998, this service bureau has advised the Company that they are year 2000
compliant. Additionally, on January 1, 2000, the Company will begin in-house
item processing. The equipment and software purchased to perform this function
is certified by the vendor as being year 2000 compliant. In-house testing and
validation of the equipment is expected to be completed by November 30, 1999.
CONTINGENCY PLAN. The Company is continuing to monitor any changes to the
service bureau and any effects that they might have on their status as year 2000
compliant. If the service bureau fails, the Company will attempt to locate an
alternative service bureau that is year 2000 compliant. If the Company is
unsuccessful, it will use its existing computer system to enter deposit balances
and interest on these accounts. If this labor-intensive approach is necessary,
management and employees will become much less efficient. However, the Company
believes that they would be able to operate in this manner indefinitely, until
their existing service bureau, or their replacement, is able to again provide
data processing services. If very few institutional service bureaus were
operating in the year 2000, the Company's replacement costs, assuming the
Company could negotiate an agreement, could be material. The written contingency
plan and business resumption plan has been completed, validated, and tested. In
July of 1999, the Board of Directors approved such plan. The plan will be
updated for any changes in the Company's mission critical applications. Plan
updates and changes through the remainder of 1999 are subject to additional
validation, testing and approval upon implementation.
While the Company's year 2000 plan was designed to significantly address
the year 2000 problems, the occurrence of the following could negatively impact
the Company:
(a) utility service companies may be unable to provide the necessary service to
implement the Company's data systems or provide sufficient sanitary
conditions for its offices; or
(b) the Company's service bureau provider could have a major malfunction in
their system or their service could be disrupted due to their utility
providers, or some combination of the two; or
(c) the Company may have to transact its business manually.
Successful and timely completion of the year 2000 plan is based upon the
Company's best estimates derived from various assumptions of future events which
are inherently uncertain, including the progress and results of its external
service bureau, testing plans, and all vendors, suppliers and customer
readiness.
Despite the Company's best efforts to address the year 2000 problems, the
vast number of external entities that have direct and indirect business
relationships with the Company, such as, customers, vendors, payment system
providers, utility providers, and other financial institutions, make it
impossible to assure that a failure to achieve compliance by one or more of
these entities would not have a material adverse impact on the Company's
business or its consolidated financial statements.
