AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance 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 GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been included. The results of operations and other data for the three months ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 1998. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hallmark Capital Corp. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, West Allis Savings Bank and subsidiaries (the "Bank") as of and for the three months ended September 30, 1997. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (2) EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 1997 have been computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Stock options are regarded as common stock equivalents and are therefore considered in per share calculations. Common stock equivalents are computed using the treasury stock method. The computation of earnings per share is as follows: For the Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Primary Fully Diluted - --------------------------------------------- ----------- ------------- Weighted average common shares outstanding . . . 1,442,950 1,442,950 Ungranted restricted stock . . . . . . . . . . .

There were no commitments to sell fixed-rate mortgage loans at September 30, 1997. The Bank had unissued credit under existing home equity line-of-credit loans and credit card lines of $14.8 million and $8.4 million, respectively, as of September 30, 1997. Also, the Bank had unused credit under existing commercial line-of-credit loans of $9.6 million at September 30, 1997. The Bank had no commitments to purchase adjustable-rate or fixed-rate mortgage-backed and related securities as of September 30, 1997. (4) REGULATORY CAPITAL ANALYSIS The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt and corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of September 30, 1997, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of September 30, 1997, the Bank is well capitalized as defined by regulatory standards. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the tables below.

The Company is required to maintain as collateral unencumbered one-to-four family mortgage loans in its portfolio such that the outstanding balance of FHLB advances does not exceed 60% of the book value of this collateral. The Company had delivered mortgage-backed securities with a carrying value of $18.6 million and $19.7 million at September 30, 1997 and June 30, 1997, respectively. In addition, all FHLB advances are collateralized by all Federal Home Loan Bank stock and are subject to prepayment penalties. The Company's unused advance line with the Federal Home Loan Bank was $15.6 million at September 30, 1997. Variable rate term borrowings consist of $7.0 million tied to the one-month LIBOR, and $3.0 million tied to the six-month LIBOR index. The Company enters into sales of mortgage-backed securities with agreements to repurchase identical securities (reverse repurchase agreements) and substantially identical securities (dollar reverse repurchase agreements). These transactions are treated as financings with the obligations to repurchase securities reflected as a liability. The dollar amount of securities underlying the agreements remains in the asset accounts. The securities underlying the agreements are delivered to the counterparty's account. There were no liabilities recorded under agreements to repurchase identical and substantially identical securities at September 30, 1997 and June 30, 1997. 9 12 HALLMARK CAPITAL CORP.

GENERAL Hallmark Capital Corp. (the "Company") is the holding company for West Allis Savings Bank (the "Bank"), a Wisconsin state-chartered savings bank. The Bank's principal business consists of attracting funds in the form of deposits and other borrowings and investing such funds primarily in residential real estate loans, mortgage-backed and related securities and various types of consumer and commercial loans. In order to maximize shareholder value, the Company continues to pursue a strategy of effectively utilizing the capital acquired in the Bank's conversion from mutual to stock form and the Company's initial public offering consummated in December 1993 (the "Conversion"). The Company believes that its effective utilization of capital is best achieved through the growth of the Company's business. This growth is to be achieved primarily through the expansion of the Company's asset base and diversification of the Company's portfolio into higher yielding assets. Commencing in fiscal 1994 and continuing through the first half of fiscal 1997, the Company implemented the first stage of the strategy by leveraging its capital base to achieve asset growth. The objective of the first stage of the strategy was to reach a targeted asset size for the Company established by the Board of Directors within a three-to-five year period following the Conversion. The Company increased its asset size from $179.6 million at June 30, 1994 to $409.8 million at June 30, 1997. The Bank's principal investment focus during the four-year post-Conversion period was to originate and purchase mortgage loans (principally loans secured by one-to-four family owner-occupied homes) and purchase mortgage-backed securities. The asset growth was funded through significant increases in Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances and other borrowings and increases in deposits, primarily brokered and non-brokered wholesale deposits. Pursuit of the foregoing strategy resulted in increases in the Company's net income, earnings per share, return on average equity ("ROAE") and return on average assets ("ROAA") in fiscal 1994, 1995 and 1996. Excluding the impact of the one-time industry-wide SAIF assessment in fiscal 1997, pursuit of the strategy also resulted in increases in the Company's net income, earnings per share, ROAE and ROAA for fiscal 1997. 10 13 Starting in the latter half of fiscal 1996 and continuing in fiscal 1997, the Company implemented the second stage of its post-Conversion plan in order to continue to increase net income, earnings per share, ROAE and ROAA. This strategy involved shifting the focus from asset growth to asset portfolio diversification, while maintaining prudent capital and liquidity levels. This was, and continues to be, achieved by altering the composition of its loan portfolio and the securities originated, purchased, sold and held in the total asset portfolio. In particular, the Company focused and will focus on originating and purchasing higher-yielding multi-family, commercial real estate and commercial business loans secured by properties or assets located within the Company's primary lending area, which will either replace or supplement the lower-yielding one-to-four family mortgage loans and principal run-off from the mortgage securities portfolio. The Company also evaluates opportunities to purchase multi-family and commercial real estate loans or participation interests in such loans secured by properties located outside the Company's primary lending area. In fiscal 1997, the Company purchased an aggregate of $5.4 million, or 1.9% of gross loans at June 30, 1997, of loans and participation interests in loans originated by other lenders and secured by properties located outside of the Company's primary lending area. These loans and participation interests consisted primarily of commercial real estate and commercial real estate construction loans. In the second half of fiscal 1997, the Company also expanded its opportunities to originate higher-yielding loans by establishing a new commercial lending division which offers commercial/industrial real estate term loans, equipment leasing, inventory/equipment/receivables financing, lines of credit, letters of credit and SBA loan programs. Asset portfolio diversification in fiscal 1997 was funded through principal repayment cash flows from existing assets, wholesale brokered and non-brokered deposits, retail deposits and FHLB advances. In fiscal 1998, the Company intends to continue the implementation of the second phase of its strategic plan by slowing the rate of growth of its asset base and continuing to focus on asset portfolio diversification.* This will continue to be accomplished by increasing the origination and purchase of multi-family real estate, commercial real estate and commercial/industrial business loans, combined with the growth of the commercial lending division.* The Company also intends to begin to increase sales of one-to-four family mortgage loans in the secondary market, including selling seasoned and recently originated one-to-four family mortgage loans in order to provide liquidity for the funding of higher-yielding loan originations and purchases, increase non-interest income and maintain adequate levels of capital.* The Company anticipates that increased sales of one-to-four family loans will decrease the proportion of the gross loan portfolio represented by such loans, will increase non-interest income as a result of increased gains on the sales of such loans, and will further lessen the Company's negative gap position as such loans are replaced by higher-yielding, adjustable rate assets, including multi-family, commercial real estate and commercial loans.* Portfolio diversification in fiscal 1998 also will include continued purchases of loans or participation interests in loans originated by other lenders both within and outside of its primary lending area.* Loans purchased, or participation interests purchased, which relate to properties located outside of the Company's primary lending area will consist primarily of multi-family, commercial real estate, multi-family construction and commercial real estate construction loans.* In deciding whether or not to purchase a loan or participation interest in a loan originated outside of the Company's primary lending area, management of the Company has applied, and continues to apply, underwriting guidelines which are at least as strict as those applicable to the origination of similar loans within its primary lending area. The Company intends to fund its asset portfolio diversification in fiscal 1998 by a combination of retail deposits, brokered deposits, borrowings, the sale of one-to-four family mortgage loans in the secondary market, the maturity and sale of mortgage-backed and related securities and FHLB advances.* The increase in the level of the allowance for losses on loans during fiscal 1997 was primarily the result of increases in the commercial, home equity and commercial real estate loan portfolios. Loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate and commercial business assets generally involve a greater degree of credit risk than one-to-four family loans and carry larger balances. The increased credit risk is the result of several factors, including concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effect of general economic conditions on income-producing properties, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Management anticipates that as the Company's volume of multi-family and commercial/nonresidential real estate and commercial business 11 14 lending activity continues to increase, the Company will need to build a higher level of allowance for loan losses established through a provision for loan losses, which will have a negative effect on the Company's net income in the short-term.* However, the Company believes that building the higher yielding multi-family and commercial/nonresidential real estate components of its gross loan portfolio will benefit the Company longer term, and should contribute to a long-term improvement in the Company's net income and return on equity.* LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's primary sources of funds are retail and wholesale brokered and non-brokered deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, principal and interest payments on mortgage-backed and related securities and FHLB-Chicago advances. Alternative funding sources are evaluated and utilized based upon factors such as interest rates, availability, maturity, administrative costs and retention capability. Although maturity and scheduled amortization of loans are predicable sources of funds, deposit flows, mortgage prepayments and prepayments on mortgage-backed and related securities are influenced significantly by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Mortgage loans and mortgage securities prepayments accelerated during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994 as interest rates decreased, declined during fiscal 1995 as interest rates increased, and increased during fiscal 1996 as interest rates declined for the first half of the fiscal year before increasing in the last half of the fiscal year. Interest rates declined during the first half of fiscal 1997, and began to increase again at the end of fiscal 1997. The primary investing activity of the Company is the origination and purchase of loans and the purchase of mortgage-backed and related securities. For the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company originated and purchased loans totaling $26.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996 when originated and purchased loans totaled $24.0 million and $6.4 million, respectively. Purchases of mortgage-backed and related securities held-to-maturity for the three months ended September 30, 1997 totaled $352,000. There were no purchases of investment securities held-to-maturity for the three months ended September 30, 1997. For the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, these activities were funded primarily by principal repayments on loans of $27.8 million and $14.3 million, respectively; principal repayments on mortgage-backed and related securities of $4.6 million and $6.4 million, respectively; proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans of $3.0 million and $560,000, respectively; net increase in deposits of $18.3 million during the 1996 period; and net proceeds from notes payable to the FHLB-Chicago of $6.5 million during the 1997 period. Purchases of securities available-for-sale totaled $5.8 million and sales were $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997, compared to purchases of $1.0 million and sales of $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The Company is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets under the regulations of the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Savings and Loan for state-chartered stock savings banks. Savings banks are required to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets (including cash, certain time deposits, certain bankers acceptances, certain corporate debt securities, securities of certain mutual funds and specified United States government, state or federal agency obligations) of not less than 8.0%. The Company's liquidity ratio was 22.13% at September 30, 1997. The Company adjusts its liquidity levels to meet various funding needs and to meet its asset and liability management objectives. The Company's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which include investments in highly-liquid, short-term investments. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company's operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 1997 and June 30, 1997, cash and cash equivalents were $14.2 million and $8.9 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company continued to find wholesale brokered and non-brokered deposits to be an efficient source and a cost-effective method, relative to local retail market deposits, of meeting the Bank's funding needs. During the three months ended September 30, 1997, pricing of wholesale brokered deposits ranged from 20 to 40 basis points above comparable term U.S. Treasury securities. At September 30, 1997, the average rate of the wholesale brokered deposits 12 15 accepted by the Company was 6.13% compared to an average rate paid for retail certificates of deposit of 5.85%. During the three months ended September 30, 1997, management believed that the costs, overhead and interest expense of achieving comparable retail deposit growth would have exceeded the costs related to the use of wholesale brokered deposits as a funding source. However, management recognizes that the likelihood for retention of brokered certificates of deposit is more a function of the rates paid on such accounts as compared to retail deposits which may be established due to Bank location or other intangible reasons. The Company's overall cost of funds has increased in recent years due primarily to a much greater percentage of the deposits being in certificates, both wholesale brokered and retail, as opposed to passbooks, money market accounts and checking accounts. At September 30, 1997, retail and wholesale certificates of deposit totaled $89.9 million and $135.7 million, respectively. Management believes that a significant portion of its retail deposits will remain with the Company and, in the case of wholesale brokered deposits, may be replaced with similar type accounts even should the level of interest rates change.* However, in the event of a significant increase in market interest rates, the cost of obtaining replacement wholesale deposits and FHLB advances would increase as well. The Bank's Board of Directors has set a maximum limitation of total borrowings equal to 32% of total assets. This internal limit is 3% below the allowable borrowing limit (for all borrowings including FHLB advances and reverse repurchase agreements) of 35% of total assets established by the FHLB-Chicago. At September 30, 1997, FHLB advances totaled $98.6 million or 23.5% of the Bank's total assets and there were no other borrowings. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had unused borrowing authority under the borrowing limitations established by the Board of Directors of $35.5 million and $48.1 million under the FHLB total asset limitation. The Bank intends to fund asset portfolio diversification in fiscal 1998 through modest increases in FHLB advances, and to maintain the 3% excess borrowing capacity with the FHLB as a contingent source of funds to meet liquidity needs as deemed necessary by the Board of Directors of the Bank. Liquidity management for the Company is both an ongoing and long-term function of the Company's asset/liability management strategy. Excess funds generally are invested in short-term investments such as federal funds or overnight deposits at the FHLB-Chicago. Whenever the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, additional sources of funds usually are available and obtainable from the wholesale brokered and non-brokered market as well as the unused credit line from the FHLB-Chicago, and funds also may be available through reverse repurchase agreements wherein the Company pledges investment, mortgage-backed or related securities. The Company maintains a $15.0 million contingent backup credit facility with a major correspondent bank to replace a portion of its interest rate sensitive liabilities, such as borrowings and wholesale brokered and non-brokered deposits should such funding sources become difficult or impracticable to obtain or retain due to a changing interest rate environment. The Company also has a federal funds open line of credit in the amount of $10.0 million with a correspondent bank which does not require the direct pledging of any assets. In addition, the Company maintains a relatively high level of liquid assets such as investment securities and mortgage-backed and related securities available-for-sale in order to ensure sufficient sources of funds are available to meet the Company's liquidity needs. Commitments to originate mortgage loans of $1.4 million at September 30, 1997 represent amounts which the Bank expects to fund during the quarter ending December 31, 1997. There were no commitments to sell fixed-rate mortgage loans at September 30, 1997. The Bank had unissued credit under existing home equity line-of-credit loans and credit card lines of $14.8 million and $8.4 million, respectively, as of September 30, 1997. Also, the Bank had unused credit under existing commercial line-of-credit loans of $9.6 million at September 30, 1997. The Bank had no commitments to purchase adjustable-rate or fixed-rate mortgage-backed and related securities as of September 30, 1997. The Company anticipates it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments, including loan applications received and in process to the issuance of firm commitments. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 1997 totaled $147.6 million. CHANGE IN FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets increased $8.7 million, or 2.1%, from $409.8 million at June 30, 1997 to $418.5 million at September 30, 1997. This increase is primarily reflected in an increase in loans receivable and interest- 13 16 bearing deposits, funded primarily by an increase in FHLB-Chicago advances and decreases in securities available-for-sale and mortgage-backed and related securities. Cash and cash equivalents were $14.2 million and $8.8 million at September 30, 1997 and June 30, 1997, respectively. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was due to management's decision to increase such assets to have funding available for unused loan commitments. Securities available-for-sale decreased to $27.6 million at September 30, 1997 compared to $29.5 million at June 30, 1997. Mortgage-backed and related securities held-to-maturity decreased to $82.2 million at September 30, 1997 compared to $85.4 million at JuneE30, 1997. The decrease in securities available-for-sale and mortgage-backed and related securities was the result of management's decision to use proceeds from the sale of such securities and principal repayments to fund growth in loans receivable. Loans receivable increased to $282.0 million at September 30, 1997 compared to $273.6 million at JuneE30, 1997. The increase at September 30, 1997 compared to June 30, 1997 is primarily the result of management's decision to retain its ARM, intermediate-term (15 year) and long-term (30 year) fixed-rate loans originated and purchased for the Company's portfolio, as such loans carried higher yields than comparable mortgage-backed and related securities during the three months ended September 30, 1997. Total mortgage loans originated and purchased amounted to $24.3 million ($2.6 million of which were purchased mortgage loans) and $24.7 million ($6.4 million of which were purchased mortgage loans) for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, while sales of fixed-rate mortgage loans totaled $3.0 million and $560,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Total commercial real estate mortgage loans originated and purchased totaled $2.9 million and $550,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Deposits decreased $0.3 million to $281.2 million at September 30, 1997 from $281.5 million at June 30, 1997. The decrease in deposits was primarily due to the Company's use of FHLB advances during the three months ended September 30, 1997. Brokered certificates of deposit totaled $90.8 million at September 30, 1997, representing 32.2% of total deposits as compared to $92.2 million, or 32.8% of total deposits, at June 30, 1997. Non-brokered wholesale deposits totaled $44.9 million at SeptemberE30, 1997, representing 16.0% of total deposits as compared to $48.8 million, or 17.3% of total deposits at June 30, 1997. Deposits are the Company's primary source of externally generated funds. The level of deposits is heavily influenced by such factors as the general level of short- and long-term interest rates as well as alternative yields that investors may obtain on competing investment securities such as money market mutual funds. FHLB-Chicago advances increased to $98.6 million at September 30, 1997 compared to $92.1 million at June 30, 1997. At September 30 and June 30, 1997, the Company had no funds borrowed under reverse repurchase agreements. The Company has used FHLB-Chicago advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase as a funding source due to attractive rates offered on advances in relation to deposit funds obtainable in the Company's local market. ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The Company closely monitors interest rate risk in an attempt to manage the extent to which net interest income is significantly affected by changes in market interest rates. In managing the Company's interest rate risk during the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company primarily utilized FHLB-advances to fund increases in the Company's interest-bearing assets due primarily to the attractive rates offered on long-term FHLB advances. At September 30, 1997, the Company's estimated cumulative one-year gap between assets and liabilities was a negative 4.7% of total assets as compared to a negative 4.3% at June 30, 1997. For the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company managed its interest rate risk to maintain the level of its one-year negative gap position primarily by matching the maturity of the Company's liabilities, primarily through the use of FHLB advances. During periods of rising interest rates, a positive interest rate sensitivity gap would tend to positively affect net interest income, while a negative interest rate sensitivity gap would adversely affect net income. 14 17 Although the opposite effect on net income would occur in periods of falling interest rates, the Company could experience substantial prepayments of its fixed rate mortgage loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, which would result in the reinvestment of such proceeds at market rates which are lower than current rates.* 15 18 ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT SCHEDULE The following table sets forth at September 30, 1997 the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within the time periods indicated, based on the information and assumptions set forth in the notes thereto.

(2) Balances have been reduced for undisbursed loan proceeds, unearned credit insurance premiums, deferred loan fees, purchased loan discounts and the allowance for loan losses, which aggregated $14.7 million at September 30, 1997. (3) Although the Company's negotiable order of withdrawal ("NOW") accounts, passbook savings accounts and money market deposit accounts generally are subject to immediate withdrawal, management considers a certain historical amount of such accounts to be core deposits having significantly longer effective maturities and times to repricing based on the Company's historical retention of such deposits in changing interest rate environments. NOW accounts, passbook savings accounts and money market deposit accounts are assumed to be withdrawn at annual rates of 30%, 30% and 60%, respectively, of the declining balance of such accounts during the period shown. The withdrawal rates used are higher than the Company's historical rates but are considered by management to be more indicative of expected withdrawal rates currently. If all of the Company's NOW accounts, passbook savings accounts and money market deposit accounts had been assumed to be subject to repricing within one year, the one-year cumulative deficiency of interest-earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities would have been $46.2 million or 11.0% of total assets. (4) Adjustable- and floating-rate borrowings are included in the period in which their interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than in the period in which they are due. 16 19 ASSET QUALITY The Company and the Bank regularly review assets to determine proper valuation. The review consists of an update of the historical loss experience, valuation of the underlying collateral and the outlook for the economy in general as well as the regulatory environment.

The increase in net income was primarily due to a one-time after-tax charge of $533,000 in the 1996 period to recapitalize the FDIC fund which insures deposits of savings associations. Net income for the 1996 period would have been $476,000 excluding the one-time FDIC assessment. Return on average equity increased to 8.57% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from (0.84%) for the comparable 1996 period (or 7.00% excluding the effect of the one-time FDIC assessment). Return on average assets increased to 0.62% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from (0.06%) for the comparable 1996 period (or 0.50% excluding the effect of the one-time FDIC assessment).

Interest income increased $939,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $653,000. The level of net interest income primarily reflects an 8.3% increase in average interest-earning assets to $403.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $372.2 million for the comparable 1996 period, a 3.7% increase in the excess of the Company's average interest-earning assets over average interest-bearing liabilities to $29.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $27.9 million for the comparable 1996 period, and an increase in interest rate spread to 2.13% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 2.04% for the comparable 1996 period. The increase in interest rate spread was primarily due to the increased proportion of interest earning assets invested in loans which carry higher yields than investment securities and mortgage-backed and related securities. INTEREST INCOME Interest income increased 13.3% to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $7.1 million for the comparable 1996 period. The increase in interest income was the result of an increase in average interest-earning assets of 8.3% to $403.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $372.2 million for the comparable 1996 period and an increase of 35 basis points in the yield on interest-earning assets to 7.94% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 7.59% for the comparable 1996 period. Interest income on loans increased 24.9% to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $4.7 million for the comparable 1996 period. The increase was the result of a rise in the Company's average gross loans of 19.4% to $277.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $232.2 million for the comparable 1996 period, and an increase in average yield to 8.45% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 8.08% for the comparable 1996 period. Gross loans increased primarily as a result of the Company retaining substantially all of its adjustable and fixed rate loan originations and purchasing more loans in the secondary market. The increase in yield is attributable to the upward adjustment in rate on existing adjustable-rate loans and to the higher yields paid on the multi-family and commercial components of the loan portfolio. At September 30, 1997 the multifamily and commercial components of the Company's loan portfolio totaled $70.8 million, or 23.9% of the total loan portfolio, compared to $47.9 million, or 18.0% of the total loan portfolio at September 30, 1996. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased 13.1% to $810,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $932,000 for the comparable 1996 period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in average balances to $44.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $54.1 million for the comparable 1996 period, partially offset by an increase in average yield to 7.21% for the 1997 period from 6.90% for the 1996 period. The increase in average yield on mortgage-backed securities was primarily due to the adjustment in the adjustable rate securities portion of this portfolio which were not fully indexed when purchased and to the higher yields paid on the private-issue portion of the mortgage-backed securities portfolio. Interest income on mortgage-related securities decreased 3.5% to $665,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $689,000 for the comparable 1996 period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in average balances to $38.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $41.2 million for the comparable 1996 period, partially offset by a increase in average yield to 6.84% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 6.69% for the comparable 1996 period. The increase in average yield on mortgage-related securities was primarily due to the upward adjustment in rate on the adjustable rate securities of this portfolio and the decreased amount of fixed rate mortgage-related securities at lower interest rates during the three months ended September 30, 1997. The decline in average balances of mortgage-backed and related securities is due to management's decision to increase the loans receivable portfolio. Interest income on investment securities and securities available-for-sale decreased 12.9% to $580,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $666,000 for the comparable 1996 period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in average balances to $36.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $39.6 million for the comparable 1996 period, and a decrease in average yield to 6.33% for the 1997 period from 6.73% for the comparable 1996 period. The lower average yield was primarily attributable to the decreased balances of investment and other securities invested at lower short-term interest rates that existed during the 1997 period as compared to the 1996 period. 20 23 INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense increased 13.7% to $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $4.8 million for the comparable 1996 period. The increase was the result of an 8.7% increase in the average amount of interest-bearing liabilities to $374.2 million for the three months ended SeptemberE30, 1997 compared to $344.3 million for the comparable 1996 period and an increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities to 5.81% for the 1997 period from 5.55% for the 1996 period. The increased balances of certificates of deposit (including brokered deposits), money market deposit accounts and borrowings at higher average interest rates was the primary reason for the increase in the average rate paid on the interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the comparable 1996 period. Interest expense on deposits increased 24.8% to $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $3.1 million for the comparable 1996 period. The increase was the result of an increase in average balances of 18.6% to $272.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $230.1 million for the comparable 1996 period, and an increase in the average rate paid to 5.73% for the 1997 period from 5.44% for the 1996 period. The increase in deposits was primarily due to an increase of 17.0% in certificates of deposit (including brokered deposits) to $227.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $194.1 million for the comparable 1996 period and the increase in average rate paid was primarily due to an increase in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit (including brokered deposits) to 6.08% for the 1997 period from 5.78% for the 1996 period. Money market deposit accounts increased 125.2% to $21.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $9.7 million for the comparable 1996 period, and the average rate paid increased to 5.18% for the 1997 period from 5.01% for the 1996 period. Money market deposit accounts increased primarily due to aggressive marketing and a competitive rate offered during the three months ended September 30, 1997. NOW accounts increased 12.6% to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $2.3 million for the comparable 1996 period, partially offset by a decrease in average rate paid to 1.70% for the 1997 period from 1.74% for the 1996 period. These increases were partially offset by an average balance decline of 10.4% in Passbook accounts to $21.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $24.1 million for the comparable 1996 period. The Company's increase in certificates of deposit was the result of aggressive marketing and pricing and the use of brokered certificates of deposit. Of the $227.0 million in the average balance of certificates of deposit for the three months ended September 30, 1997, $91.1 million or 40.1% represented brokered certificates of deposit compared to $78.6 million or 40.5% for the 1996 period. The average rate paid on brokered certificates of deposit increased to 6.13% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 5.75% for the comparable 1996 period. The increase was primarily due to management's decision to lengthen the maturities of such deposits during the 1997 period. Interest on borrowings (FHLB advances and reverse repurchase agreements) decreased 7.5% to $1.5 million for the months ended September 30, 1997 from $1.6 million for the comparable 1996 period. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in average balances of FHLB advances and reverse repurchase agreements of 11.5% to $96.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $109.6 million for the comparable 1996 period, partially offset by an increase in the average rate paid to 6.19% for the 1997 period from 5.92% for the 1996 period. PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS The provision for losses on loans increased 8.7% to $200,000 for the three months ended SeptemberE30, 1997 from $184,000 for the comparable 1996 period. The level of allowance for losses on loans generally is determined by the Bank's historical loan loss experience, the condition and composition of the Bank's loan portfolio, and existing and anticipated general economic conditions. Management anticipates that as the Company's volume of multi-family and commercial/non-residential real estate lending activity continues to increase, the Company will need to build a higher level of allowance for loan losses established through a provision for loan losses.* Based on management's evaluation of the loan portfolio and the increase in gross loans during the three months ended September 30, 1997, the allowance for losses on loans increased 38.1% to $1.9 million at September 30, 1997 compared to $1.4 million at September 30, 1996. This increase was primarily the result of the increase in multi-family, multi-family construction, home equity, commercial real estate and commercial loan components of the gross loan portfolio which carry a greater degree of credit risk as compared to one-to-four family mortgage lending. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to gross loans increased to 0.64% at 21 24 September 30, 1997 from 0.52% at September 30, 1996, reflecting the continued low level of loans charged off and non-performing loans. The amount of non-performing loans at September 30, 1997 was $286,000 or .10% of gross loans compared to $623,000 or 0.22% of gross loans at June 30, 1997 and $168,000 or 0.06% of gross loans at September 30, 1996. NON-INTEREST INCOME Non-interest income decreased 16.0% to $200,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $238,000 for the comparable 1996 period. The largest components of the decrease were a decrease in gains on the sale of securities and mortgage-backed and related securities to a loss of $17,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to a gain of $7,000 for the comparable 1996 period, a decrease in insurance commissions to $4,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $21,000 for the comparable 1996 period and a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts to $114,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $129,000 for the comparable 1996 period. The decrease in gains on the sale of securities and mortgage-backed and related securities reflects management's decision to sell only the lower-yielding available-for-sale securities in the 1997 period. Offsetting the decreases in non-interest income was an increase in service charges on loans to $45,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $34,000 for the comparable 1996 period, primarily reflecting the increased loan portfolio and loan volume and a increase in gains on the sale of loans to $21,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $8,000 for the comparable 1996 period reflecting an increase in loans sold in the 1997 period. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Non-interest expense decreased 34.9% to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $2.4 million for the comparable 1996 period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in deposit insurance premiums of $972,000 to $43,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $1,015,000 for the comparable 1996 period, which relates to an FDIC industry-wide special assessment of $877,000 in the 1996 period. Absent the increase in FDIC premiums non-interest expense would have increased $31,000 to $1.6 million. This increase primarily consisted of an increase in compensation and benefits expense of $83,000 to $957,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $874,000 for the comparable 1996 period, an increase in other non-interest expense of $35,000 to $286,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $251,000 for the comparable 1996 period and an increase in occupancy and equipment expense of $5,000 to $243,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $238,000 for the comparable 1996 period. The increase in compensation and benefits expense primarily relates to higher salary levels and an increase in the number of full time equivalent employees. The increase in other non-interest expense was primarily due to increases in printing, office supplies, organization dues, legal and other miscellaneous expenses. The Company is heavily dependent upon complex computer systems for all phases of its operations, including customer transaction processing, internal/external reporting and records retention. Non-interest expense includes the cost of projects underway to ensure accurate date recognition and data processing with respect to the year 2000. The Company has commenced a program intended to complete the year 2000 conversion projects by 1999. These costs which are expensed as incurred, have been immaterial to date and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's earnings in the future. 22 25 ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK A derivative financial instrument includes futures, forwards, interest rate swaps, option contracts, and other financial instruments with similar characteristics. The Company currently does not enter into futures, forwards, swaps or options. However, the Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist primarily of commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and may require collateral from the borrower if deemed necessary by the Company.
