PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
In the following discussion, references to "Bankshares" relate to
Community Savings Bankshares, Inc. together with its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Community Savings, F. A. (the "Association").
COMMUNITY SAVINGS BANKSHARES, INC.
Bankshares is a Delaware-chartered stock holding company organized in
August 1998. The only significant asset of Bankshares is its investment in the
Association. On December 15, 1998, Bankshares completed its reorganization and
stock offering in connection with the conversion and reorganization of ComFed,
M. H. C. ("ComFed") and its mid-tier holding company, Community Savings
Bankshares, Inc., a federal mid-tier stock holding company (the "Mid-Tier
Holding Company"). Bankshares sold 5,470,651 shares of common stock at $10.00
per share in a subscription and community offering (the "Offering") resulting
in net proceeds of approximately $53.2 million. Bankshares also issued
5,078,233 exchange shares to existing minority shareholders (the "Exchange") at
the exchange ratio of 2.0445 shares for each share of Mid-Tier Holding Company
common stock. The aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding
following the offering and exchange totals 10,548,884. The holding company
reorganization was accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a
pooling of interests. Therefore, all financial information has been presented
as if Bankshares had been in existence for all periods presented in this report
and the exchange ratio of 2.0445 was applied to all stock related data for
comparability purposes. At December 31, 1998, Bankshares had total assets of
$844.0 million, total loans of $538.2 million, total deposits of $594.4
million, and total shareholders' equity of $133.3 million. The common stock of
Bankshares trades on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "CMSV".
Bankshares' executive office is located at 660 U.S. Highway One, North
Palm Beach, Florida and its telephone number at that address is (561) 881-2212.
COMMUNITY SAVINGS, F. A.
The Association, founded in 1955, is a federally chartered savings and
loan association headquartered in North Palm Beach, Florida. The Association's
deposits are federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC") through the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). The
Association has been a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB")
since 1955. The Association is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS"). The Association is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankshares.
The Association is a community-oriented financial institution engaged
primarily in the business of attracting deposits from the general public in the
Association's market area (as described below) and using such funds, together
with other borrowings, to invest in various consumer-based real estate loans,
commercial business loans and mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") as well as
United States government and agency securities, mutual funds, corporate debt
securities, interest-earning deposits in the FHLB and FHLB stock. See "Lending
Activities", "Mortgage-Backed and Related Securities", and "Investment
Activities". The Association's principal sources of funds are deposits,
principal and interest payments on loans and securities, and FHLB advances. The
principal source of income is interest received from loans and securities,
while principal expenses are interest paid on deposits and borrowings and
employee compensation and benefits. See "Sources of Funds." The Association's
plan is to operate as a well-capitalized, profitable and independent
community-oriented savings and loan association. The Association has
implemented this strategy by emphasizing retail deposits as its primary source
of funds and investing a substantial part of such funds in locally originated
residential first mortgage loans, in mortgage-backed and related securities and
in other liquid investment securities. The Association's profitability is
highly dependent on its net interest income. The components that determine net
interest income are the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, together with the rates earned or paid on such interest
rate-sensitive instruments. The Association is sensitive to managing interest
rate risk exposure by better matching asset and liability maturities and rates.
This is accomplished while considering the inherent credit risk of assets. The
Association maintains asset quality by utilizing comprehensive loan
underwriting standards, effective collection efforts as well as by primarily
originating or purchasing secured or guaranteed assets.

FORMATION OF THE HOLDING COMPANY
On July 29, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Association, the
Mid-Tier Holding Company and ComFed adopted a Plan of Conversion and a Plan of
Reorganization ("the Plan"), and on August 6, 1998, the Association
incorporated Bankshares under Delaware law as a first-tier wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Association. Pursuant to the Plan, (i) the Mid-Tier Holding
Company converted to an interim federal savings association and simultaneously
merged with and into the Association, (ii) ComFed converted to an interim
federal stock savings association and simultaneously merged with and into the
Association, after which ComFed ceased to exist and the 2,620,144 shares of
Mid-Tier Holding Company common stock held by ComFed were cancelled, and (iii)
an interim savings institution ("Interim") was formed as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Bankshares solely for such purpose which then merged with and
into the Association. As a result of the merger of Interim with and into the
Association, the Association became the wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankshares
and the 2,483,816 outstanding public Mid-Tier Holding Company common shares
were converted into exchange shares; (the "Exchange") pursuant to the exchange
ratio of 2.0445 shares of common stock for each share of Mid-Tier Holding
Company common stock resulting in 5,078,233 exchange shares. Bankshares sold
5,470,651 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share in a public offering (the
"Offering"). The aggregate number of shares of common stock outstanding
following the Offering and Exchange totals 10,548,884.
CHANGE OF FISCAL YEAR
In January 1997, the Board of Directors of the Association approved a
change of the Association's fiscal year from September 30 to December 31,
effective December 31, 1996. Bankshares' fiscal year end is also December 31.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain information in this Form 10-K may constitute forward-looking
information that involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those estimated. Persons are cautioned that
such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and
are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those estimated. These factors include, but are not limited to,
changes in general economic and market conditions, legislative and regulatory
changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, demand for
loan and deposit products and the development of an interest rate environment
that adversely affects the interest rate spread or other income from
Bankshares' investments and operations.
MARKET AREA AND COMPETITION
Bankshares and the Association are headquartered in North Palm Beach,
Florida. Because Bankshares' only significant asset is its ownership of all the
issued and outstanding capital stock of the Association, the market area and
competition are identical for both entities. The Association operates 21
offices in its market area in southeastern Florida, five of which are located
in Martin County, twelve of which are located in Palm Beach County, three of
which are located in St. Lucie County and one of which is located in Indian
River County. The Association operates a loan production office located in Vero
Beach in Indian River County.
According to county projections from the University of Florida, the
population of Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties was
estimated to aggregate l.4 million for 1998. This study projects a 3.5% growth
rate to 1.5 million by the year 2000. This population growth combined with a
lower interest rate environment during the first quarter of 1999 suggests
increased demand for mortgage loans in the four county market, as well as in
the State of Florida. However, such estimates may not prove representative of
actual experience for the remainder of 1999.
The counties in the Association's market area have experienced
significant growth since the 1960s. Several of the counties are currently
experiencing major redevelopment projects. In Palm Beach County, the City of
West Palm Beach is implementing a $375 million project called City Place
designed to continue the revitalization of the downtown area with the addition
of 600,000 square feet of leaseable retail space organized around cultural and
entertainment activities. Also in Palm Beach County, construction has begun on
Abacoa, a new subdivision development which features a baseball stadium,
commercial office space and retail space, as well as single-family and
multi-family residential properties designed to
3
4
accommodate up to 10,000 residents. TriRail, the commuter train service for
southern Florida, will be extended northward to service this community.
A $500,000 Main Street grant was obtained to redevelop downtown Stuart
in Martin County in 1993. Designed to stimulate business growth in the downtown
area, the improvements included renovations to the Martin County Courthouse, a
riverwalk on the St. Lucie River, new construction and facade renovations. The
redevelopment has been supplemented by the completion of the new Roosevelt
bridge facilitating access to the city from the north.
In St. Lucie County, the Professional Golfers Association ("PGA")
completed three new championship golf courses, a golf learning center and a
housing development.
The economy in this market area is service-oriented and is
significantly dependent upon government, foreign trade, tourism, and its
continued attraction as a retirement area. In Palm Beach and Martin counties,
cooperative efforts between the counties and local municipalities are producing
business growth and expansion in the county. A variety of county supported
programs have been instituted to create new jobs and to encourage relocation or
expansion of companies with an emphasis placed on high-technology and service
industries. Consequently, commercial building vacancies are at a low level.
Major employers in Palm Beach County include Pratt and Whitney (United
Technologies), Columbia Palm Beach Healthcare System, Inc., Motorola, Inc.,
Inracoastal Health Systems, Inc., Florida Power and Light Co. and Flo Sun, Inc.
Martin County major employers include Martin Memorial Medical Center, Northrop
Grumman Aircraft Systems, Inc., and Publix supermarkets. St. Lucie County major
employers include Indian River Community College, Columbia Lawnwood Regional
Medical, Publix supermarkets, and Staff Leasing. Indian River County major
employers include Indian River Memorial Hospital, Publix supermarkets and New
Piper Aircraft Corp.
Bankshares' market area in Southeast Florida has a large concentration
of financial institutions, many of which are significantly larger and have
greater financial resources than the Association, and all of which are
competitors of the Association to varying degrees. As a result, the Association
encounters strong competition both in attracting deposits and in originating
real estate and other loans. Its most direct competition for deposits has come
historically from commercial banks, securities broker-dealers, other savings
associations, and credit unions in its market area. Continued strong
competition from such financial institutions is expected in the foreseeable
future. The market area includes branches of several commercial banks that are
substantially larger than the Association in terms of state-wide deposits. The
Association competes for savings by offering depositors a high level of
personal service and expertise together with a wide range of financial services
as well as competitive pricing. In recent years many financial institutions
have been aggressively expanding through the acquisition of branch locations or
entire financial institutions, thereby increasing competition.
Based on total assets as of December 31, 1998, the Association was the
third largest financial institution headquartered in Palm Beach County. The
Association held 2.13%, 8.57%, 3.40% and 1.20% of all bank and savings
association deposits in Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River
counties, respectively, at September 30, 1998.
The competition for real estate and other loans comes principally
from commercial banks, mortgage-banking companies, and other savings
associations. The competition for loans has increased substantially in recent
years as a result of the large number of institutions competing in the market
area as well as the increased efforts by commercial banks to expand mortgage
loan originations. The Association competes for loans primarily through the
competitive interest rates and loan fees it charges and the efficiency and
quality of services it provides borrowers, real estate brokers, and builders.
Factors that affect competition include general and local economic conditions,
current interest rate levels, and the volatility of the mortgage markets.
LENDING ACTIVITIES
GENERAL. Historically, the principal lending activity of the
Association has been the origination of fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgage
loans collateralized by one- to four-family residential properties located in
its primary market area. It is the Association's intention to offer varied
products in the residential mortgage loan area. The Association currently
emphasizes the origination of adjustable-rate residential mortgage ("ARM")
loans and fixed-rate residential mortgage loans with terms of 15 years or less,
as well as a residential mortgage loan which provides for a fixed-rate of
interest during the first five or seven years and which thereafter converts to
an ARM loan, the interest rate of which adjusts annually. At times, it has been
the Association's policy to sell in the secondary market on a servicing
retained basis all fixed-rate mortgage loan originations with terms greater
than 15 years. However, based on management's assessment of the market at a
particular
4
5
time and Board of Director limits, the Association may periodically decide to
retain such loans in the portfolio. There were no loans held for sale at
December 31, 1998. Loans serviced for other institutions totaled $14.2 million
at such date.
While the Association's primary emphasis is on residential real estate
lending, the Association's policy is to meet demand for other types of loans by
offering a wide variety of loan programs designed to meet the customers' needs.
In response to customer demand, the Association began expanding its commercial
lending programs in fiscal year 1996. Although demand for commercial real
estate loans declined during fiscal year 1998, the Association intends to
continue to pursue such loans during 1999 in connection with providing services
to its small business customers. At December 31, 1998, the gross loan portfolio
totaled $573.2 million. At such date, the weighted average remaining term to
maturity of the loan portfolio was approximately 17.0 years. At December 31,
1998, $248.8 million, or 43.4% of the total gross loan portfolio consisted of
loans with adjustable interest rates. To supplement local loan originations,
the Association also invests in mortgage-backed and related securities that
directly or indirectly provide funds principally for residential home buyers in
the United States. The Association has also purchased either participations in
or whole residential real estate loans which are serviced by other
institutions. Such loans totaled $45.4 million, net of premiums, at December
31, 1998. The Association also participates with other financial institutions
in programs which provide residential mortgage loans to low-and moderate-income
borrowers. During 1999, the Association intends to use its loan solicitors to
continue the expansion of its lending activities, particularly one- to
four-family residential loans and commercial real estate and business loans.

ONE- TO FOUR-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS. The Association's
primary lending activity consists of the origination of one- to four-family,
owner-occupied, residential mortgage loans secured by properties located in its
market area. Such loans are generally underwritten in conformity with the
criteria established by Fannie Mae ("FNMA"), with the exception of loans
exceeding applicable agency dollar limits and loans purchased through the
Association's affiliation with a consortium of financial institutions which
provides loans to low and moderate income borrowers (discussed below). The
Association generally does not originate one- to four-family residential loans
secured by properties outside of its market area although in recent periods it
has purchased a modest amount of single-family loans secured by properties in
the southeast United States. At December 31, 1998, $421.8 million, or 73.6%, of
the gross loan portfolio consisted of one- to four-family residential mortgage
loans. The weighted average contractual maturity of one- to four-family
residential mortgage loans at the time they are originated is approximately
22.8 years. However, it has been the Association's experience that the average
length of time which such loans remain outstanding is approximately 6.0 years.

The Association currently offers one- to four-family residential
mortgage loans with terms typically ranging from 15 to 30 years, and with
adjustable or fixed interest rates. Originations of fixed-rate mortgage loans
and ARM loans are monitored on an ongoing basis and are affected significantly
by the level of market interest rates, customer preference, the Association's
asset/liability management gap position, and loan products offered by its
competitors. In a relatively low interest rate environment, which existed
throughout fiscal 1998, borrowers typically prefer fixed-rate loans to ARM
loans. Nonetheless, the Association has continued to emphasize the origination
of ARM loan products. ARM loan originations totaled $34.7 million, or 17.7%, of
all one- to four-family loan originations during the year ended December 31,
1998. In connection with the Association's effort to increase mortgage lending,
the Association offers residential mortgage loans which provide for a
fixed-rate of interest during the first five or seven years of the term of the
loans and which thereafter convert to ARM loans on which the interest rate
adjusts annually . This loan product allows the Association to offer a loan
with a relatively short period during which the interest rate is fixed but
which typically provides for an initial interest rate which is greater than
could be obtained from ARM loans originated in the local market. This loan
product is generally offered with a term between l5 and 30 years.
The Association currently offers ARM loans with an annual adjustment
based on changes in the weekly average yield on U.S. Treasury securities
adjusted to a constant maturity of one year plus a margin. Previously, the
Association's ARM loans were indexed to the National Monthly Median Cost of
Funds plus a margin. Each ARM loan has an annual interest rate adjustment
limitation of 200 basis points and a maximum lifetime adjustment of 600 basis
points above the initial rate. ARM loans are originated with initial rates
which are below the fully indexed rate, the amount of such discount varying
depending upon market conditions. Management determines whether a borrower
qualifies for an ARM loan based on the fully indexed rate of the ARM loan at
the time the loan is originated. Negative amortization of the ARM loans is not
allowed. One- to four-family residential ARM loans totaled $175.0 million at
December 31, 1998.
The primary purpose of offering ARM loans is to make the loan
portfolio more interest rate sensitive. However, as the interest income earned
on ARM loans varies with prevailing interest rates, such loans do not offer as
consistently predictable interest income as long-term, fixed-rate loans. ARM
loans carry increased credit risk associated with potentially higher monthly
payments by borrowers as general market interest rates increase. It is
possible, therefore, that during periods of rising interest rates, the risk of
default on ARM loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of interest
costs to the borrower. To offset this risk, loans are underwritten as if the
highest market rate which the borrower would be capable of paying under the
terms of the loan was in effect.
Fixed-rate loans generally are originated and underwritten according
to standards that permit sale in the secondary mortgage market. Whether
management can or will sell fixed-rate loans into the secondary market,
however, depends on a number of factors including the yields and the terms of
the loans, market conditions, the Association's current interest rate
sensitivity gap position and Board of Director established limits. The
Association has followed varying policies with respect to retention in the
portfolio of fixed-rate loans with contractual terms in excess of 15 years. Its
current policy is to limit fixed-rate loans, including loans with 30 year
terms, to a specified percentage of total assets. The Association's fixed-rate
mortgage loans are amortized on a monthly basis with principal and interest due
each month. One- to four-family residential real estate loans often remain
outstanding for significantly shorter periods than their contractual terms
because borrowers may refinance or prepay loans at their option without
prepayment penalties.
In prior years, the Association has participated with other financial
institutions in local consortiums which are committed to provide financing of
one- to four-family mortgage loans for low and moderate income borrowers. The
consortiums underwrite and package the loans which are either sold to the
member institutions on a whole loan basis or closed and funded directly by the
member institution. These loans are originated to borrowers within the
Association's market area and provide for either fixed- or adjustable-rates of
interest. The Association determines which loans it will purchase or fund
directly after conducting its own due diligence review of the loan package
offered. The Association closed approximately $1.9 million in consortium loans
during 1998. It is the Association's intent, subject to market conditions, to
continue to participate in consortiums of this nature in the future.
The Association also purchases single-family residential loans from
other sources, such as mortgage origination companies, or brokers, under the
same guidelines as described above. In addition, such loan purchases include a
contract between the mortgage origination company and the Association, which
contains an indemnification clause protecting the Association from loss
resulting from misrepresentations in the loan applications or other information
provided to the Association. During fiscal year 1998, $3.0 million of such
loans were purchased. It is management's intent, subject to market conditions,
to continue purchasing such loans.
8
9
The Association may purchase participation interests or whole loans
secured by one- to four-family residences when funds available for lending
exceed the demand for residential loans in the local market or to facilitate
funding of large projects. At December 31, 1998, the loan portfolio included
$45.3 million of loan participations and whole loans secured by one- to
four-family residences. The Association purchased $35.4 million of such loans
during fiscal year 1998.
The Association's one- to four-family residential first mortgage loans
customarily include due-on-sale clauses, which are provisions giving the
Association the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the
event, among other things, that the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the
underlying real property serving as security for the loan. Due-on-sale clauses
are an important means of adjusting the rates on the fixed-rate mortgage loan
portfolio (and to a lesser extent ARM loans), and the Association has generally
exercised its rights under these clauses.
Regulations limit the amount that a savings association may lend
relative to the appraised value of the real estate securing the loan, as
determined by an appraisal at the time of loan origination. Appraisals are
generally performed by an independent outside appraiser. Such regulations
permit a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 95% for residential property and 80%
for all other real estate loans. The Association's lending policies generally
limit the maximum loan-to-value ratio on both fixed-rate and ARM loans without
private mortgage insurance to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or the
purchase price of the property to serve as collateral for the loan. For one- to
four-family real estate loans with loan-to-value ratios of between 80% and 95%,
the borrower is generally required to obtain private mortgage insurance. An
origination fee of between 1 % and 2% of the total loan amount on all one- to
four-family loans may be charged depending on the market conditions. Fire and
casualty insurance (and flood insurance if the property is within a designated
flood plain), as well as a title guaranty regarding good title, are required on
all properties securing real estate loans made by the Association.
CONSTRUCTION AND LAND LOANS. At December 31, 1998, $54.4 million, or
9.5%, $6.3 million or l.1% and $14.6 million, or 2.6%, of the gross loan
portfolio consisted of residential construction loans, nonresidential
construction loans and land loans, respectively. Fixed-rate and adjustable-rate
residential construction loans are currently offered primarily for the
construction of owner-occupied single-family residences in the Association's
market area to builders who have a contract for sale of the property or to
owners who have a contract for construction. Advances are made as construction
is completed. In addition, construction loans are also made to builders for
single-family homes held for sale. Such loans totaled $12.7 million at December
31, 1998. Construction loans for owner-occupied single-family residences are
generally structured to become permanent loans upon completion of construction,
and are originated with terms of up to 30 years with an allowance of up to six
months for construction during which period the borrower makes interest-only
payments. Construction loans to builders for homes held for sale are generally
originated for a term of up to one year and provide for interest-only payments.
Disbursements are made as evidence of progress is presented to and verified by
the Association.
At December 31, 1998, the Association's largest real estate
construction loan had an aggregate principal outstanding balance of $3.2
million, with disbursed funds of $2.8 million, which is within the
Association's loans-to-one-borrower limit. This loan is secured by a
construction loan to build 134 single-family homes located in the Association's
market area.
Construction loans are also offered on multi-family and commercial
real estate loans. At December 31, 1998, multi-family and commercial
construction loans totaled $0 and $6.3 million, respectively.
In addition, loans are originated within the market area which are
secured by individual unimproved or improved lots zoned primarily to become
single-family residences, as well as commercial and agricultural properties.
Land loans are currently offered as either one-year ARM loans or fixed-rate
loans with terms of up to 15 years. The maximum loan-to-value ratio for such
land loans is 75%.
Adjustable-rate single-family construction and land loans are
currently offered at the weekly average yield on United States Treasury
securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year plus a margin.
Adjustable-rate construction loans and land loans have an annual interest rate
cap of 200 basis points and a lifetime interest rate cap of 600 basis points
over the initial interest rate. Initial interest rates may be below the fully
indexed rate but the loan is underwritten at the fully indexed rate.
Construction lending generally involves a greater degree of credit
risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage lending. Risk of loss on a
construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial
estimate of the property's value at completion of construction or development
and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction.
9
10
During the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and
cost overruns. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, the
Association may be confronted with a completed project which has a value which
is insufficient to assure full repayment. Loans made on lots carry the risk of
adverse zoning changes, environmental, or other restrictions on future use.
MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS. Loans secured by
multi-family real estate constituted approximately $8.4 million, or 1.5%, of
the gross loan portfolio at December 31, 1998. At December 31, 1998, a total of
43 loans were secured by multi-family properties. Multi-family real estate
loans are primarily secured by rental properties with between five and
thirty-six units. At December 31, 1998, substantially all multi-family loans
were secured by properties located within the Association's market area. At
December 31, 1998, multi-family real estate loans had an average principal
balance of approximately $195,000. At such date, the largest multi-family real
estate loan had a principal balance of $1.4 million, and was performing in
accordance with its terms. Multi-family real estate loans are currently only
offered with adjustable interest rates, although in the past, fixed-rate
multi-family real estate loans also were originated. Multi-family loans
typically have adjustable interest rates tied to a market index and amortize
over 20 to 25 years. An origination fee of between 1.5% to 2.0% is usually
charged on multi-family loans. Multi-family mortgage loans are generally
originated for amounts up to 75% of the appraised value of the property
securing the loan. The initial interest rate on multi-family real estate loans
is currently priced at the weekly average yield on United States Treasury
securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year plus a margin, depending
on the nature and size of the project. Originations of multi-family loans have
been limited in recent years due to the limited demand for such projects in the
Association's market area.
In its underwriting, the Association reviews the expected net
operating income generated by the real estate to support the debt service, the
age and condition of the collateral, the financial resources and income level
of the borrower, the borrower's experience in owning or managing similar
properties, and any financial reserves the borrower may have.
Loans secured by multi-family real estate generally involve a greater
degree of credit risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and
carry larger loan balances. This increased credit risk is a result of several
factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans
and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income producing
properties, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these
types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by multi-family
property is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related
real estate property.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS. Loans secured by commercial real estate
constituted approximately $46.1 million, or 8.1%, of the gross loan portfolio
at December 31, 1998. Commercial real estate loans are secured by improved
property such as offices, hotels, small business facilities, strip shopping
centers, warehouses, commercial land and other non-residential buildings. At
December 31, 1998, substantially all of the commercial real estate loans were
secured by properties located within the Association's market area. At December
31, 1998, a total of 193 loans were secured by commercial real estate with an
average principal balance of approximately $239,000. Commercial real estate
loans are currently only offered with adjustable interest rates, although in
the past the Association originated fixed-rate commercial real estate loans.
The terms of each commercial real estate loan are negotiated on a case-by-case
basis, although such loans typically have adjustable interest rates tied to a
market index. An origination fee of up to 2% of the principal balance of the
loan is typically charged on commercial real estate loans. Commercial real
estate loans originated by the Association generally amortize over 15 to 20
years and have a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 75%.
The Association expanded both its commercial real estate and business
lending activities in late fiscal 1996. An experienced commercial loan officer
and a credit analyst were added to the Lending Division staff. Although during
the year ended December 31, 1998, $11.3 million of commercial real estate loans
were originated the aggregate total of such loans decreased $13.1 million from
December 31, 1997. The Association intends to continue to emphasize the
origination of commercial real estate and business loans in the future.
At December 31, 1998, the largest commercial real estate borrower had
an outstanding principal balance of $2.0 million, which is within the
Association's loans-to-one-borrower limit. Collateral for the loan is an orange
grove located in the Association's market area, and the loan is currently
performing in accordance with its terms.
In underwriting commercial real estate loans, the same underwriting
standards and procedures are employed as are employed in underwriting
multi-family real estate loans. Loans secured by commercial real estate
generally involve a higher degree of risk than one- to four-family residential
mortgage loans and carry larger loan balances. This increased credit risk is a
result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a
limited number of loans and borrowers,
10
11
the effects of general economic conditions on income producing properties, and
the difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore,
the repayment of loans secured by commercial real estate is typically dependent
upon the successful operation of the related real estate project. If the cash
flow from the project is reduced, the borrower's ability to repay the loan may
be impaired.
CONSUMER LOANS. As of December 31, 1998, consumer loans totaled $15.0
million, or 2.6%, of the gross loan portfolio. The principal types of consumer
loans offered are home equity lines of credit, fixed-rate second mortgage
loans, automobile loans, mobile home loans, boat loans, recreational vehicle
loans, unsecured personal loans, and loans secured by deposit accounts.
Consumer loans are offered primarily on a fixed-rate basis with maturities
generally of five years or less. Home equity lines of credit are secured by the
borrower's principal residence. Consumer loans are underwritten using the
Association's customary lending standards. The Association anticipates that its
involvement in such lending will continue.
Consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates
than traditional mortgage loans, but generally entail greater credit risk than
do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that
are unsecured or secured by assets that depreciate rapidly, such as
automobiles, mobile homes, boats, and recreational vehicles. In such cases,
repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an
adequate source of repayment for the outstanding loan and the remaining
deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts
against the borrower. In particular, amounts realizable on the sale of
repossessed automobiles may be significantly reduced based upon the condition
of the automobiles and the fluctuating demand for used automobiles.
COMMERCIAL BUSINESS LOANS. The Association currently offers commercial
business loans to finance small businesses in its market area. Commercial
business loans are primarily offered as a customer service to business account
holders. Such loans may include commercial lines of credit, loans on inventory,
equipment, receivables, or other collateral and unsecured loans. During the
quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Association began expanding its
activities in the commercial business lending market as part of its overall
increased commercial lending activity. At December 31, 1998, the 54 commercial
business loans outstanding had an aggregate balance of $6.6 million and an
average loan balance of approximately $122,000. Commercial business loans
originated during the year ended December 31, 1998 totaled $6.2 million.
Commercial business loans are offered with both fixed- and adjustable-interest
rates. Adjustable-rates on commercial business loans are priced against the
Citibank, N.A. or WALL STREET JOURNAL prime rate, plus a margin. The loans are
offered with terms of up to five years and are underwritten using the
Association's customary underwriting standards.
At December 31, 1998, the largest commercial business loan was secured
by accounts receivable, contract rights, inventory, equipment, furniture and
personal property and had an outstanding principal balance of $2.5 million. It
is currently performing in accordance with its terms.
Commercial business loans generally bear higher interest rates than
residential loans, but they also may involve a higher risk of default since
their repayment is generally dependent on the successful operation of the
borrower's business. Personal guarantees from the borrower or a third party are
generally obtained as a condition to originating its commercial business loans.
LOAN ORIGINATIONS, SOLICITATION, PROCESSING, COMMITMENTS, AND
PURCHASES. Loan originations are derived from a number of sources such as real
estate broker referrals, existing customers, developers and walk-in customers.
In the case of a real estate loan, an independent appraiser approved by the
Association appraises the real estate intended to secure the proposed loan.
Outside members of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, the President, and certain other officers have been granted the
authority to approve loans in various amounts depending on the types of loans
involved. The Association has also established a Loan Committee which consists
of at least one outside director and certain officers. Larger loans must be
approved by one or more of such authorized officers or directors or by the Loan
Committee depending on the size of the loan. Loans in excess of $2.0 million
may only be approved by the Loan Committee after the entire Board of Directors
is informed. At December 31, 1998, commitments to originate loans, excluding
the undisbursed portion of loans in process, totaled $ 14.1 million.
If the loan is approved, the commitment letter specifies the terms and
conditions of the proposed loan including the amount of the loan, interest
rate, amortization term, a brief description of the required collateral, and
required insurance coverage. Fire and casualty insurance is required at the
time the loan is made and throughout the term of the loan, and upon request of
the Association, flood insurance may be required. Title insurance is required
on all loans secured by real property.
11
12
In addition to originations, the Association also purchases loans
secured by one- to four-family residences from consortiums, mortgage
origination companies, or brokers, as previously discussed in "One- to
Four-Family Residential Real Estate Loans." In addition, the Association may
purchase participation loans when funds available for lending exceed the demand
for loans in the local market or to facilitate funding of larger projects. Such
loans, which totaled $45.3 million at December 31, 1998, are secured by
residential real estate loans. Substantially all of such loans are whole loans;
however, participation interests account for approximately $1.1 million of the
$45.3 million.

LOAN ORIGINATION FEES AND OTHER INCOME. In addition to interest
earned on loans, the Association may receive loan origination fees. To the
extent that loans are originated or acquired for the portfolio, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 91, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and
Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs
of Leases" ("SFAS No. 91") requires that loan origination fees and costs be
deferred and amortized as an adjustment of yield over the life of the loan by
use of the level yield method. ARM loans originated below the fully-indexed
interest rate will have a substantial portion of the deferred amount recognized
as income in the initial adjustment period. Fees and costs deferred under SFAS
No. 91 are recognized into income immediately upon prepayment or the sale of
the related loan. At December 31, 1998, unearned discounts and premiums and
deferred loan origination fees and costs totaled $1.3 million. Loan origination
fees vary with the volume and type of loans and commitments made and purchased,
principal repayments, and competitive conditions in the mortgage markets which,
in turn, respond to the demand and availability of funds.
In addition to loan origination fees, the Association also receives
servicing income and other fees that consist primarily of servicing fees, late
charges, and other miscellaneous fees. Such fees totaled $198,000, $269,000,
$33,000, $148,000, and $184,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
the three months ended December 31, 1996 and the years ended September 30,
1996, and 1995, respectively.
LOAN SERVICING. While the Association primarily originates loans for
its own portfolio, it also has sold fixed-rate loans to Freddie Mac ("FHLMC")
and to FNMA. At December 31, 1998, the unpaid balances of loans sold totaled
approximately $14.2 million. The Association services such loans receiving a
fee of between 0.25% and 0.375% per loan. The Association does not purchase
loan servicing from other sources.
LOANS-TO-ONE BORROWER. Savings and loan associations are subject to
the same loans-to-one borrower limits as those applicable to national banks.
Under current regulations, loans to one borrower are restricted to an amount
equal to 15% of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus on an unsecured
basis, and an additional amount equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and
unimpaired surplus if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral
(generally, financial instruments and bullion, but not real estate). The 15%
limitation resulted in a dollar limitation of approximately $16.1 million at
December 31, 1998. All of the Association's loans are in compliance with the
loans-to-one borrower limits at December 31, 1998.
The following table presents the five largest lending relationships at December
31, 1998:

ASSET QUALITY
DELINQUENCIES. The Association's collection procedures provide that when
a loan is 15 days past due, a computer-generated late charge notice is sent to
the borrower requesting payment. If the delinquency continues at 30 days, a
delinquent notice is sent and personal contact efforts are attempted, either in
person or by telephone. Also, plans to arrange a repayment plan are made at
this point. If a loan becomes 60 days past due and no progress has been made in
resolving the delinquency, a 10-day demand letter is sent and personal contact
is attempted. The loan also becomes subject to possible legal action if
suitable arrangements to repay have not been made. In addition, the borrower is
advised that he or she may obtain access to consumer counseling services, to
the extent required by regulations of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development ("HUD"). When a loan continues in a delinquent status for 90 days
or more, and a repayment schedule has not been made or kept by the borrower,
generally a notice of intent to foreclose is sent to the borrower, giving the
14
15
borrower 10 days to repay all outstanding interest and principal. If the
delinquency is not cured, foreclosure proceedings are initiated.
DELINQUENT LOANS. Loans are reviewed on a regular basis and are placed
on a non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the collection of
additional interest is doubtful. In addition, loans are placed on non-accrual
status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due, or less
than 90 days, in the event the loan has been referred to the Association's
legal counsel for foreclosure. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan
is placed on a non-accrual status is charged against interest income.
The following table sets forth information with respect to loans past
due 60 to 89 days in the loan portfolio at the dates indicated.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS. At December 31,1998, non-performing assets
(non-performing loans and real estate owned ("REO")) totaled $2.2 million, and
the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.26%. Real estate
acquired by the Association as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure is classified as substandard until such time as it is sold. REO is
recorded at cost which is the estimated fair value of the property at the time
the loan is foreclosed. Subsequent to foreclosure, these properties are carried
at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell.
The following table sets forth information regarding non-accrual loans
delinquent 90 days or more, and real estate acquired or deemed acquired by
foreclosure at the dates indicated. When a loan is delinquent 90 days or more,
all accrued interest thereon is fully reserved and the loan ceases to accrue
interest thereafter. For all the dates indicated, there were no material
restructured loans within the meaning of SFAS 15 (as amended by SFAS No. 121).

The largest non-performing asset was REO with a recorded balance of
$257,000 at December 31, 1998, and an appraised value of $340,000. The loan was
originated in fiscal 1989 and is collateralized by a citrus grove located in
St. Lucie County. There are currently no immediate prospects for the sale of
the property.
During the year ended December 31, 1998, gross interest income of
$110,000 would have been recorded on non-performing loans accounted for on a

CLASSIFICATION OF ASSETS. Federal regulations provide for the
classification of loans and other assets such as debt and equity securities
considered by OTS to be of lesser quality as substandard, doubtful, or loss
assets. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by
the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral
pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct
possibility that the savings institution will sustain some loss if the
deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all of the
weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard, with the added
characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in
full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly
questionable and improbable. Assets classified as loss are those considered
uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without
the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. Assets that do
not expose the savings institution to risk sufficient to warrant classification
in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess some weaknesses, are
required to be designated special mention by management.
When a savings institution classifies problem assets as either
substandard or doubtful, it is required to establish general allowances for
loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management. General allowances
represent loss allowances that have been established to recognize the inherent
risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances,
have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When a savings
institution classifies problem assets as loss, it is required either to
establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of the amount of the
assets so classified, or to charge off such amount. A savings institution's
determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its
valuation allowances is subject to review by the OTS, which can order the
establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances. Problem loans
in the portfolio are regularly reviewed to determine whether any loans require
classification in accordance with applicable regulations.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. Management's policy is to provide for
estimated losses on the loan portfolio based on management's evaluation of the
potential losses that may be incurred. Provisions for losses, which increase
the allowances for loan losses, are established by charges to income. Such
allowances represent the amounts which, in management's judgment, are adequate
to absorb charge-offs of existing loans which may become uncollectible. The
adequacy of the allowance is determined by management's monthly evaluation of
the loan portfolio and related collateral, in light of past loss experience,
the volume and type of lending engaged in by the Association, present economic
conditions and other factors considered relevant by management. Anticipated
changes in economic factors which may influence the level of the allowances are
considered in the evaluation by management if the changes can be readily
determined.
Management continues to review the entire loan portfolio to determine
the extent, if any, to which further additional loan loss provisions may be
deemed necessary. Management believes that the current allowance for loan
losses is adequate, however, there can be no assurance that the allowance for
loan losses will be adequate to cover losses that may in fact be realized in
the future or that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required.

SECURITIES PORTFOLIO.
The Association's primary focus is the origination of loans. However,
during past periods when mortgage loan demand was moderate and the Association
had de-emphasized the origination of fixed-rate loans, management invested
excess liquidity in investment securities, including mutual funds, and in
mortgage-backed and related securities rather than purchasing whole loans or
loan participations. At December 31, 1998, the Association's securities
portfolio totaled $147.8 million. Such securities are subject to classification
based on the intentions of management. Securities purchased for the portfolio
are classified as either held to maturity or as available for sale. The
Association has no securities classified as trading. During December 1995, the
provisions of SFAS No. 115 "Questions and Answers Guide" were adopted which
allowed between November 15, 1995 and December 31, 1995 a one-time
reclassification of securities from held to maturity to available for sale. The
Association reclassified $49.5 million of securities from investments-held to
maturity and mortgage-backed and related securities-held to maturity to
securities available for sale. Such reclassification resulted in a credit of
$247,000 to shareholders' equity. Subsequently, $749,000 of the securities were
sold at no gain or loss.
The Association maintains an Investment Committee which meets on a
monthly basis to review the securities portfolio and make recommendations to be
carried out by management. All investments must be rated BBB or higher by a
recognized rating service. The Investment Committee consists of the
Association's President and Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President,
Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and Senior Vice President of Lending.
Investments purchased are comprised primarily of United States
Government and agency obligations, mutual funds that invest in mortgage-backed
securities and government and agency obligations, mortgage-backed and related
securities, corporate debt securities, interest-earning deposits at the FHLB
and FHLB stock. Some of such investments allow the issuer to call the
securities at predetermined times during the life of the security. Such calls
totaled $41.8 million for fiscal 1998. Principal repayments on amortizing
securities totaled $44.0 million in fiscal 1998. The repayments are a general
reflection of lower interest rates which cause certain securities to pay off
more rapidly.
The Association is required under federal regulations to maintain a
minimum amount of liquid assets that may be invested in specified short-term
securities and certain other investments. The Association generally has
maintained a portfolio of liquid assets that exceeds regulatory requirements.
Liquidity levels may be increased or decreased depending upon the yields on
investment alternatives and upon management's judgment as to the attractiveness
of the yields then available in relation to other opportunities and its
expectation of the level of yield that will be available in the future, as well
as management's projections as to the short term demand for funds to be used in
loan origination and other activities. For further information regarding the
securities portfolio see Notes 1, 2 and 3 to the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in Bankshares' Annual Report to Shareholders for
the Year Ended December 31, 1998 (the "Annual Report") attached hereto as
Exhibit 13.
MORTGAGE-BACKED AND RELATED SECURITIES. The Association invests in
mortgage-backed and related securities which are included in the securities
portfolio and are classified as either available for sale or held to maturity.
At December 31, 1998, net mortgage-backed and related securities totaled $76.9
million, or 10.0%, of total assets. Of this amount, $32.4 million was
classified as held to maturity and $44.7 million was available for sale. At
December 31, 1998, the market value of the net mortgage-backed and related
securities portfolio totaled approximately $77.0 million. Management primarily
invests in fixed-rate mortgage-backed and related securities with weighted
average lives of five to seven years. Management believes that investing in
short-term mortgage-backed and related securities limits the Association's
exposure to higher interest rates. During fiscal year 1998, $20.1 million of
mortgage-backed and related securities were purchased. Using funds provided by
public funds deposits, odd-term certificates of deposit and FHLB advances
instead of excess liquidity as in previous years.
CMOs are typically issued by a special-purpose entity (in the
Association's case, private issuers), which may be organized in a variety of
legal forms, such as a trust, a corporation, or a partnership. The entity
aggregates pools of pass-through securities, which are used to collateralize
the CMO. Once combined, the cash flows are divided into "tranches" or "classes"
of individual bonds, thereby creating more predictable average durations for
each bond than the underlying pass-through pools. Accordingly, under the CMO
structure, all principal paydowns from the various mortgage pools are allocated
to a CMO's first class until it has been paid off, then to a second class until
such class has been paid off, and then to the next classes in order of
priority. Substantially all of the CMOs held in the securities portfolio
consist of senior sequential tranches, primarily investments in one of the
first three tranches of the CMO. By purchasing senior sequential tranches,
management is attempting to ensure the cash flow associated with such an
investment. Generally, such tranches have stated maturities ranging from 6.5
years to 30 years; however, because of prepayments, the expected weighted
average
20
21
life of these securities is less than the stated maturities. While non-agency
private issues are somewhat less liquid than CMOs issued or guaranteed by GNMA,
FNMA or FHLMC, they generally have a higher yield than agency insured or
guaranteed CMOs, such higher yield reflecting in part the lack of such
guarantee or protection.
SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY. At December 31, 1998, investment
securities held to maturity totaled $157.7 million and included United States
Government and agency obligations totaling $13.1 million, mortgage-backed and
related totaling $32.4 million, corporate debt issues totaling $7.1 million,
and FHLB stock totaling $4.7 million.
Included in corporate debt issues are asset-backed securities which
include two debt securities, purchased during fiscal year 1994, which totaled
$715,000 at December 31, 1998 secured by automobile loan receivables. These
securities are rated BBB or above by Standard & Poors and provide an effective
yield of 6.3%. While these securities have a stated maturity of six years, it
is expected that because of prepayments that the receivables underlying the
securities will have a weighted average life of less than the stated
maturities. Debt instruments which depend on the repayment of automobile loans
involve a certain degree of risk since in the event that borrowers of the
automobile loan default, the issuer of the security may have insufficient funds
to repay the principal or interest of the security in accordance with its
terms.
The following tables set forth the carrying value of the securities
held to maturity at the dates indicated. At December 31, 1998, the market value
of the investments was approximately $57.3 million. The market value of
investments includes interest-earning deposits and FHLB stock at book value,
which approximates market value.

INTEREST -EARNING DEPOSITS AND FHLB OF ATLANTA STOCK. Excess funds are
primarily invested on a daily basis in an interest-earning overnight account at
the FHLB of Atlanta. The balance of this account was $100.3 million at December
31, 1998. In addition, interest-earning deposits totaling $1.4 million were held
in other financial institutions at December 31, 1998. Such funds are available
to provide liquidity to meet lending requirements and daily operations.
The Association is required to purchase and maintain FHLB of Atlanta
stock based on the Association's asset size and outstanding total of FHLB
advances. FHLB of Atlanta stock is not readily marketable as it is not traded on
a registered security exchange.

SOURCES OF FUNDS
GENERAL. Deposits are the major source of funds for lending and other
investment purposes. In addition to deposits, funds are derived from the
amortization and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed and related securities,
the maturity of investment securities, operations and, if needed, advances from
the FHLB. Scheduled loan principal repayments are a relatively stable source of
funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are influenced
significantly by general interest rates and market conditions. Borrowings may be
used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of
funds from other sources or on a longer term basis for general business
purposes. Although the Association periodically reviews the features and terms
of its deposit products, the Association currently does not intend to materially
change any of the deposit products or services it currently offers.
DEPOSITS. Consumer and commercial deposits are attracted principally
from within the market area through the offering of a broad selection of deposit
instruments including non-interest-bearing demand accounts, NOW accounts,
passbook savings, money market deposit accounts, term certificate accounts and
individual retirement accounts. While deposits of $100,000 or more are accepted,
premium rates for such deposits are not currently offered. Deposit account terms
vary according to the minimum balance required, the period of time during which
the funds must remain on deposit, and the interest rate, among other factors. A
management committee meets weekly to evaluate the internal cost of funds, survey
rates offered by competing institutions, review the Association's cash flow
requirements for lending and liquidity and the amount of certificates of deposit
maturing in the upcoming weeks. This committee executes rate changes when deemed
appropriate. Funds are not obtained through brokers, nor are funds solicited
outside the Association's market area.
The following table sets forth information regarding interest rates,
terms, minimum amounts and balances of deposits as of December 31, 1998.

Deposits are used to fund loan originations, the purchase of securities
and for general business purposes. The deposit growth in fiscal year 1998 of
$43.7 million reflected the use of odd-term and promotional certificate of
deposit products, as well as increased retail deposits generated by aggressive,
competitive pricing of such products in the market area. The Association also
continues to emphasize commercial checking accounts for small local businesses.

BORROWINGS. Savings deposits are the primary source of funds for
lending and investment activities and for general business purposes. If the need
arises, advances from the FHLB may be used to supplement the supply of lendable
funds and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements. Advances from the FHLB
typically are collateralized by the Association's stock in the FHLB and a
blanket floating lien on the Association's one- to four-family first mortgage
loans. At December 31, 1998, $91.9 million of FHLB advances were outstanding
with a weighted average interest rate of 5.76%.
The FHLB functions as a central reserve bank providing credit for the
Association and other member savings institutions and financial institutions. As
a member, the Association is required to own capital stock in the FHLB and is
authorized to apply for advances on the security of such stock and certain of
its home mortgages and other assets (principally, securities that are
obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States) provided certain standards
related to creditworthiness have been met. Advances are made pursuant to several
different programs. Each credit program has its own interest rate and range of
maturities. Depending on the program, limitations on the amount of advances are
based either on a fixed percentage of a member institution's net worth or on the
FHLB's assessment of the institution's creditworthiness. Although advances may
be used on a short-term basis for cash management needs, FHLB advances have not
been, nor are they expected to be, a significant long-term funding source for
the Association, although the Association periodically utilizes its ability to
access advances in order to take advantage of investment opportunities which may
arise.
On September 30, 1983, the Association sold two of its branches to
another financial institution. Under terms of the sale, the Association issued a
10.94%, 30-year term mortgage-backed bond (the "Bond") for approximately $41.6
million. A discount was recorded on the Bond which is being accreted on the
interest method of accounting over the life of the Bond. The Bond bears an
interest rate that is adjustable semi-annually on each April 1 and October 1 to
reflect changes in the average of the United States 10-year and 30-year
long-term bond rates. At December 31, 1998, the net outstanding balance of the
Bond was $15.4 million with an effective rate of 8.78%. For further information
on the Bond, see Note 12 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
in the Annual Report attached hereto as Exhibit 13.
On October 24, 1994, in connection with the Association's Plan of
Reorganization into a mutual holding company, the Association established an
Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for all eligible employees. The ESOP's
purchase of 389,248 (as adjusted by the exchange ratio of 2.0445) shares of
common stock in the open market was initially funded by a loan held by an
unaffiliated financial institution with an interest rate based on the monthly
average of the Federal Funds high and low rate plus 2.35%. During 1998, the
Mid-Tier Holding Company loaned sufficient funds to the ESOP to permit the ESOP
to repay the loan to the unaffiliated lender. Such loan was transferred to
Bankshares in the conversion and reorganization. The loan is being repaid from
the Association's contributions to the ESOP over a period of up to seven years
and had an outstanding balance of $1.0 million at December 31, 1998. The loan
has a fixed interest rate of 8.50%. In addition, Bankshares loaned $4.4 million
during the offering to permit the ESOP to purchase an additional 437,652 shares.
The new loan is being repaid over 15 years and has a fixed interest rate of
7.75%. For further information, see Note 11 to the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements in the Annual Report, attached hereto as Exhibit 13.

SUBSIDIARY ACTIVITIES
The Association currently has one active subsidiary, ComFed, Inc.,
which was formed in February 1971 for the purpose of owning and operating an
insurance agency, Community Insurance Agency, which sells mortgage life
insurance. ComFed, Inc. also receives income and incurs related expenses from
the sale of third party mutual funds and annuities. Such third party mutual
funds and annuities include products widely marketed to the investing public and
have investment advisors that are not affiliated with ComFed, Inc. For the year
ended December 31, 1998, ComFed, Inc. reported net income of $134,000. At
December 31, 1998, the Association had an equity investment in ComFed, Inc. of
$207,000.
PERSONNEL
As of December 31, 1998, Bankshares had no separately compensated
employees. Officers of Bankshares are employees of the Association and receive
all compensation from the Association. Because Bankshares' only activity is
holding the stock of the Association, employees of the Association perform
limited duties for Bankshares.
As of December 31, 1998, the Association had 265 full-time and 52
part-time employees. None of such employees is represented by a collective
bargaining group. The Association believes it has a good relationship with its
employees.
REGULATION
Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws and regulations
which are applicable to Bankshares and the Association. The description of these
laws and regulations, as well as descriptions of laws and regulations contained
elsewhere herein, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations.
29
30
GENERAL
The Association, as a federally chartered savings institution, is
subject to federal regulation and oversight by the OTS extending to all aspects
of its operations. The Association also is subject to regulation and examination
by the FDIC, which insures the deposits of the Association to the maximum extent
permitted by law, and requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board.
Federally chartered savings institutions are required to file periodic reports
with the OTS and are subject to periodic examinations by the OTS and FDIC. The
investment and lending authority of savings institutions are prescribed by
federal laws and regulations, and such institutions are prohibited from engaging
in any activities not permitted by such laws and regulations. Such regulation
and supervision primarily is intended for the protection of depositors and not
for the purpose of protecting shareholders.
The OTS' enforcement authority over all savings institutions and their
holding companies includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil
money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders and to initiate
injunctive actions. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for
violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other
actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including
misleading or untimely reports filed with the OTS.
BANKSHARES
HOLDING COMPANY ACQUISITIONS. In December 1998, Bankshares became a
savings and loan holding company within the meaning of the Home Owners' Loan
Act, as amended ("HOLA"), and has registered with the OTS. The HOLA and OTS
regulations generally prohibit a savings and loan holding company, without prior
OTS approval, from acquiring, directly or indirectly, the ownership or control
of any other savings institution or savings and loan holding company, or all, or
substantially all, of the assets or more than 5% of the voting shares thereof.
These provisions also prohibit, among other things, any director or officer of a
savings and loan holding company, or any individual who owns or controls more
that 25% of the voting shares of such holding company, from acquiring control of
any savings institution not a subsidiary of such savings and loan holding
company, unless the acquisition is approved by the OTS.
HOLDING COMPANY ACTIVITIES. Bankshares operates as a unitary savings
and loan holding company. Generally, there are only limited restrictions on the
activities of a unitary savings and loan holding company and its non-savings
institution subsidiaries. However, if the Director of the OTS determines that
there is reasonable cause to believe that the continuation by a savings and loan
holding company of an activity constitutes a serious risk to the financial
safety, soundness or stability of its subsidiary savings institution, the
Director may impose such restrictions as deemed necessary to address such risk,
including limiting (i) payment of dividends by the savings institution; (ii)
transactions between the savings institution and its affiliates; and (iii) any
activities of the savings institution that might create a serious risk that the
liabilities of the holding company and its affiliates may be imposed on the
savings institution. Notwithstanding the above rules as to permissible business
activities of unitary savings and loan holding companies, if the savings
institution subsidiary of such a holding company fails to meet the QTL test, as
discussed under "-The Association - Qualified Thrift Lender Test," then such
unitary holding company also shall become subject to the activities restrictions
applicable to multiple savings and loan holding companies and, unless the
savings institution requalifies as a QTL within one year thereafter, shall
register as, and become subject to the restrictions applicable to, a bank
holding company. See "-The Association - Qualified Thrift Lender Test."
The HOLA requires every savings institution subsidiary of a savings and
loan holding company to give the OTS at least 30 days' advance notice of any
proposed dividends to be made on its guarantee, permanent or other
nonwithdrawable stock, or else such dividend will be invalid. See "- The
Association - Capital Distributions."
AFFILIATE RESTRICTIONS. Transactions between a savings institution and
its "affiliates" are subject to quantitative and qualitative restrictions under
Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and OTS regulations. Affiliates
of a savings institution include, among other entities, the savings
institution's holding company and companies that are controlled by or under
common control with the savings institution.
In general, Sections 23A and 23B and OTS regulations issued in
connection therewith limit the extent to which a savings institution or its
subsidiaries may engage in certain "covered transactions" with affiliates to an
amount equal to 10% of the institution's capital and surplus, in the case of
covered transactions with any one affiliate, and to an amount equal to 20% of
such capital and surplus, in the case of covered transactions with all
affiliates. In addition, a savings institution and its subsidiaries may engage
in covered transactions and certain other transactions only on terms and under
circumstances that are substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the
savings institution or its subsidiary, as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with nonaffiliated companies. A "covered transaction" is
defined to include a loan or extension of credit to an affiliate; a purchase of
investment securities issued by an affiliate; a purchase of assets from an
affiliate, with certain exceptions; the acceptance of securities issued by an
affiliate as collateral for a loan or extension of credit to any party; or the
issuance of a guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit on behalf of an
affiliate.
30
31
In addition, under the OTS regulations, a savings institution may not
make a loan or extension of credit to an affiliate unless the affiliate is
engaged only in activities permissible for bank holding companies; a savings
institution may not purchase or invest in securities of an affiliate other than
shares of a subsidiary; a savings institution and its subsidiaries may not
purchase a low-quality asset from an affiliate; and covered transactions and
certain other transactions between a savings institution or its subsidiaries and
an affiliate must be on terms and conditions that are consistent with safe and
sound banking practices. With certain exceptions, each loan or extension of
credit by a savings institution to an affiliate must be secured by collateral
with a market value ranging from 100% to 130% (depending on the type of
collateral) of the amount of the loan or extension of credit.
The OTS regulation generally excludes all non-bank and non-savings
institution subsidiaries of savings institutions from treatment as affiliates,
except to the extent that the OTS or the Federal Reserve Board decides to treat
such subsidiaries as affiliates. The regulation also requires savings
institutions to make and retain records that reflect affiliate transactions in
reasonable detail, and provides that certain classes of savings institutions may
be required to give the OTS prior notice of affiliate transactions.
THE ASSOCIATION
INSURANCE OF ACCOUNTS. The deposits of the Association are insured to
the maximum extent permitted by the SAIF, which is administered by the FDIC, and
are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. As insurer, the
FDIC is authorized to conduct examinations of, and to require reporting by,
FDIC-insured institutions. It also may prohibit any FDIC-insured institution
from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose
a serious threat to the FDIC. The FDIC also has the authority to initiate
enforcement actions against savings institutions, after giving the OTS an
opportunity to take such action.
Under current FDIC regulations, SAIF-insured institutions are assigned
to one of three capital groups which are based solely on the level of an
institution's capital("well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," and
"undercapitalized")which are defined in the same manner as the regulations
establishing the prompt corrective action system discussed below. These three
groups are further divided into three subgroups which reflect varying levels of
supervisory concern, from those which are considered to be healthy to those
which are considered to be of substantial supervisory concern. The matrix so
created results in nine assessment risk classifications, with rates ranging
prior to September 30, 1996 from 23 basis points for well-capitalized, healthy
institutions to 31 basis points for undercapitalized institutions with
substantial supervisory concerns.
The deposits of the Association are currently insured by the SAIF. Both
the SAIF and the BIF are required by law to attain and thereafter maintain a
reserve ratio of 1.25% of insured deposits. The BIF achieved a fully funded
status first, and therefore as discussed below, effective January 1, 1996, the
FDIC substantially reduced the average deposit insurance premium paid by
BIF-insured banks. On November 14, 1995, the FDIC approved a final rule
regarding deposit insurance premiums. The final rule reduced deposit insurance
premiums for BIF member institutions to zero basis points (subject to a $2,000
minimum) for institutions in the lowest risk category, while holding deposit
insurance premiums for SAIF members at their then-current levels (23 basis
points for institutions in the lowest risk category). The reduction was
effective with respect to the semiannual premium assessment beginning January 1,
1996.
On September 30, 1996 Congress passed, and the President signed, the
Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 (the "DIF") which mandated that all
institutions which have deposits are insured by SAIF were required to pay a
one-time special assessment of 65.7 basis points on SAIF-insured deposits
(subject to adjustment for certain types of banks with SAIF deposits) that were
held at March 31, 1995 payable by November 27, 1996 to recapitalize the SAIF.
The assessment increased the SAIF's reserve ratio to a comparable level to that
of the BIF at 1.25% of total insured deposits. The Association's share of this
special assessment totaled $2.8 million and is reflected in the 1996 operating
results. The FDIC, in connection with the recapitalization, also lowered SAIF
premiums from $0.23 per $100 to $0.065 per $100 of insured deposits beginning in
January 1997.
31
32
The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository
institution, including the Association, if it determines after a hearing that
the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in
an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any
applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed by an agreement with
the FDIC. It also may suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing
process for the permanent termination of insurance, if the institution has no
tangible capital. If insurance of accounts is terminated, the accounts at the
institution at the time of the termination, less subsequent withdrawals, shall
continue to be insured for a period of six months to two years, as determined by
the FDIC. Management is aware of no existing circumstances which would result in
termination of the Association's deposit insurance.
REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. The OTS capital requirements consist
of a "tangible capital requirement," a "leverage capital requirement" and a
"risk-based capital requirement." The OTS is also authorized to impose capital
requirements in excess of those standards on individual institutions on a
case-by-case basis.
Under the tangible capital requirement, a savings association must
maintain tangible capital in an amount equal to at least 1.5% of adjusted total
assets. Tangible capital is defined as core capital less all intangible assets
(including supervisory goodwill), plus a specified amount of purchased mortgage
servicing rights.
Under the leverage capital requirement adopted by the OTS, savings
associations maintain "core capital" in an amount equal to at least 3% of
adjusted total assets. Core capital is defined as common stockholders' equity
(including retained earnings), non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and
minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, plus
purchased mortgage servicing rights valued at the lower of 90% of fair market
value, 90% of original cost or the current amortized book value as determined
under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and "qualifying
supervisory goodwill," less non-qualifying intangible assets. At December 31,
1998, the Association's ratio of core capital to total adjusted assets was
12.8%.
Under the risk-based capital requirement, a savings association must
maintain total capital (which is defined as core capital plus supplementary
capital) equal to at least 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. A savings association
must calculate its risk-weighted assets by multiplying each asset and
off-balance sheet item by various risk factors, which range from 0% for cash and
securities issued by the United States Government or its agencies to 100% for
repossessed assets or loans more than 90 days past due. Qualifying one- to
four-family residential real estate loans and qualifying multi-family
residential real estate loans (not more than 90 days delinquent and having an
80% or lower loan-to-value ratio), are weighted at a 50% risk factor.
Supplementary capital may include, among other items, cumulative perpetual
preferred stock, perpetual subordinated debt, mandatory convertible subordinated
debt, intermediate-term preferred stock, and general allowances for loan losses.
The allowance for loan losses includable in supplementary capital is limited to
1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Supplementary capital is limited to 100% of core
capital.
Certain exclusions from capital and assets are required to be made for
the purpose of calculating total capital, in addition to the adjustments
required for calculating core capital. Such exclusions consist of equity
investments (as defined by regulation) and that portion of land loans and
non-residential construction loans in excess of an 80% loan-to-value ratio and
reciprocal holdings of qualifying capital instruments. However, in calculating
regulatory capital, institutions can add back unrealized losses and deduct
unrealized gains net of taxes, on debt securities reported as a separate
component of GAAP capital.
The OTS regulations establish special capitalization requirements for
savings associations that own service corporations and other subsidiaries,
including subsidiary savings associations. According to these regulations,
certain subsidiaries are consolidated for capital purposes and others are
excluded from assets and capital. In determining compliance with the capital
requirements, all subsidiaries engaged solely in activities permissible for
national banks, engaged solely in mortgage-banking activities, or engaged in
certain other activities solely as agent for its customers are "includable"
subsidiaries that are consolidated for capital purposes in proportion to the
association's level of ownership, including the assets of includable
subsidiaries in which the association has a minority interest that is not
consolidated for GAAP purposes. For excludable subsidiaries, the debt and equity
investments in such subsidiaries are deducted from assets and capital. At
December 31, 1998 the Association had no investments subject to a deduction from
tangible capital.
The OTS amended its risk-based capital requirements that would require
institutions with an "above normal" level of interest rate risk to maintain
additional capital. A savings association is considered to have a " normal "
level of interest rate risk if the decline in the market value of its portfolio
equity after an immediate 200 basis point increase or decrease in market
interest rates (whichever leads to the greater decline) is less than two percent
of the current estimated market value
32
33
of its assets. The market value of portfolio equity is defined as the net
present value of expected cash inflows and outflows from an association's
assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items. The amount of additional
capital that an institution with an above normal interest rate risk is required
to maintain (the "interest rate risk component") equals one-half of the dollar
amount by which its measured interest rate risk exceeds the normal level of
interest rate risk. The interest rate risk component is in addition to the
capital otherwise required to satisfy the risk-based capital requirement.
Implementation of this component has been postponed by the OTS. The final rule
was to be effective as of January 1, 1994, subject however to a three quarter
lag time in implementation. However, in October 1994, the Director of the OTS
indicated that it would waive the capital deductions for institutions with a
greater than "normal" risk until the OTS published an appeals process. On August
21, 1995, the OTS released Thrift Bulletin 67, which established (i) an appeals
process to handle "requests for adjustments" to the interest rate risk component
and (ii) a process by which "well-capitalized" institutions may obtain
authorization to use their own interest rate risk model to determine their
interest rate risk component. The Director of the OTS indicated, concurrent with
the release of Thrift Bulletin 67, that the OTS will continue to delay the
implementation of the capital deduction for interest rate risk pending the
testing of the appeals process set forth in Thrift Bulletin 67.
Effective November 28, 1994, the OTS revised its interim policy issued
in August 1993 under which savings institutions computed their regulatory
capital in accordance with SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities." Under the revised OTS policy, savings institutions
must value securities available for sale at amortized cost for regulatory
capital purposes. This means that in computing regulatory capital, savings
institutions should add back any unrealized losses and deduct any unrealized
gains, net of income taxes, on debt securities reported as a separate component
of GAAP capital.
At December 31, 1998, the Association exceeded all of its regulatory
capital requirements, with tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios 12.8%,
12.8%, and 25.0%, respectively. See Note 13 to the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in the Annual Report.
The OTS and the FDIC generally are authorized to take enforcement
action against a savings association that fails to meet its capital
requirements, which action may include restrictions on operations and banking
activities, the imposition of a capital directive, a cease-and-desist order,
civil money penalties or harsher measures such as the appointment of a receiver
or conservator or a forced merger into another institution. In addition, under
current regulatory policy, an association that fails to meet its capital
requirements is prohibited from paying any dividends.
PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTION. Under the prompt corrective action
regulations of the OTS, an institution is deemed to be (i) "well-capitalized" if
it has total risk-based capital of 10.0% or more, has a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of 6.0% or more, has a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 5.0% or
more and is not subject to any order or final capital directive to meet and
maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure, (ii) "adequately
capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or more, a Tier
1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or more and a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio
of 4.0% or more (3.0% under certain circumstances) and does not meet the
definition of "well capitalized," (iii) "undercapitalized" if it has a total
risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital
ratio that is less that 4.0% or a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio that is less
than 4.0% (3.0% under certain circumstances),(iv) "significantly
undercapitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than
6.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3.0% or a Tier 1
leverage capital ratio that is less than 3.0%, and (v) "critically
undercapitalized" if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is
equal to or less than 2.0%. Under specified circumstances, a federal banking
agency may reclassify a well capitalized institution as adequately capitalized
and may require an adequately capitalized institution or an undercapitalized
institution to comply with supervisory actions as if it were in the next lower
category (except that the FDIC may not reclassify a significantly
undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized).
An institution generally must file a written capital restoration plan
which meets specified requirements with its appropriate federal banking agency
within 45 days of the date that the institution receives notice or is deemed to
have notice that it is undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or
critically undercapitalized. A federal banking agency must provide the
institution with written notice of approval or disapproval within 60 days after
receiving a capital restoration plan, subject to extensions by the agency. An
institution which is required to submit a capital restoration plan must
concurrently submit a performance guaranty by each company that controls the
institution. In addition, undercapitalized institutions are subject to various
regulatory restrictions, and the appropriate federal banking agency also may
take any number of discretionary supervisory actions.
At December 31, 1998, the Association was in the "well capitalized"
category for purposes of the above regulations and as such is not subject to the
above mentioned restrictions.
33
34
SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS GUIDELINES. The OTS and the other federal bank
regulatory agencies have established guidelines for safety and soundness,
addressing operational and managerial standards, as well as compensation matters
for insured financial institutions. Institutions failing to meet these standards
are required to submit compliance plans to their appropriate federal regulators.
The OTS and the other agencies have also established guidelines regarding asset
quality and earnings standards for insured institutions. The Association
believes that it is in compliance with these guidelines and standards.
LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS. All savings institutions are required to
maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage
of the sum of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and
borrowings payable in one year or less. The liquidity requirement may vary from
time to time (between 4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions and savings
flows of all savings institutions. At the present time, the required minimum
liquid asset ratio is 4%. For the month ended December 31, 1998, the
Association's average liquidity ratio was 17.8%.
CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS. OTS regulations govern capital distributions by
savings institutions, which include cash dividends, stock redemptions or
repurchases, cash-out mergers, interest payments on certain convertible debt and
other transactions charged to the capital account of a savings institution to
make capital distributions. Generally, the regulations created a safe harbor for
specified levels of capital distributions from institutions meeting at least
their minimum capital requirements, so long as such institutions notify the OTS
and receive no objection to the distribution from the OTS. Savings institutions
and distributions that do not qualify for the safe harbor are required to obtain
prior OTS approval before making any capital distributions.
Under recently adopted amendments to the OTS' regulations which become
effective April 1, 1999, a savings institution that before and after the
proposed distribution would at least be adequately capitalized, subject to
certain exceptions, may make capital distributions during any calendar year
equal to net income for the applicable calendar year plus net income for the
prior two years less any capital distribution in those prior periods. Failure to
meet minimum capital requirements will result in further restrictions on capital
distributions, including possible prohibition without explicit OTS approval. See
"-Regulatory Capital Requirements."
In order to make distributions under its safe harbor, institutions
which are subsidiaries of savings and loan holding companies must submit 30 days
written notice to the OTS prior to making the distribution. The OTS may object
to the distribution during that 30-day period based on safety and soundness
concerns.
BRANCHING BY FEDERAL SAVINGS INSTITUTIONS. OTS policy permits
interstate branching to the full extent permitted by statute (which is
essentially unlimited). Generally, federal law prohibits federal savings
institutions from establishing, retaining or operating a branch outside that
state in which the federal institution has its home office unless the
institution meets the IRS' domestic building and loan test (generally, 60% of a
thrift's assets must be housing-related) ("IRS Test"). The IRS Test requirement
does not apply if: (i) the branch(es) result(s) from an emergency acquisition of
a troubled savings institution (however, if the troubled savings institution is
acquired by a bank holding company, does not have its home office in the state
of the bank holding company bank subsidiary and does not qualify under the IRS
Test, its branching is limited to the branching laws for state-chartered banks
in the state where the savings institution is located); (ii) the law of the
state where the branch would be located would permit the branch to be
established if the federal savings institution were chartered by the state in
which its home office is located; or (iii) the branch was operated lawfully as a
branch under the state law prior to the savings institution's conversion to a
federal charter.
Furthermore, the OTS will evaluate a branching applicant's record of
compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA"). An
unsatisfactory CRA record may be the basis for denial of a branching
application.
COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT AND THE FAIR LENDING LAWS. Savings
institutions have a responsibility under the CRA and related regulations of the
OTS to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and
moderate-income neighborhoods. In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and
the Fair Housing Act (together, the "Fair Lending Laws") prohibit lenders from
discriminating in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics
specified in those statutes. An institution's failure to comply with the
provisions of CRA could, at a minimum, result in regulatory restrictions on its
activities, and failure to comply with the Fair Lending Laws could result in
enforcement actions by the OTS, as well as other federal regulatory agencies and
the Department of Justice.
34
35
QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER TEST. All savings institutions are required to
meet a QTL test to avoid certain restrictions on their operations. Under Section
2303 of the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996, a
savings institution can comply with the QTL test by either qualifying as a
domestic building and loan association as defined in Section 7701(a)(19) of the
Code or by meeting the second prong of the QTL test set forth in Section 10(m)
of the HOLA. A savings institution that does not meet the QTL test must either
convert to a bank charter or comply with the following restrictions on its
operation: (i) the institution may not engage in any new activity or make any
new investment, directly or indirectly, unless such activity or investment is
permissible for a national bank; (ii) the branching powers of the institution
shall be restricted to those of a national bank; (iii) the institution shall not
be eligible to obtain any new advances from its FHLB, other than special
liquidity advances with the approval of the OTA; and (iv) payment of dividends
by the institution shall be subject to the rules regarding payment of dividends
by a national bank. Upon the expiration of three years from the date the savings
institution ceases to be a QTL, it must cease any activity and not retain any
investment not permissible for a national bank and immediately repay any
outstanding FHLB advances (subject to safety and soundness considerations).
Currently, the portion of the QTL test that is based on Section 10(m)
of the HOLA rather than the Code requires that 65% of an institution's
"portfolio assets" (as defined) consist of certain housing and consumer-related
assets on a monthly average basis in nine out of every 12 months. Assets that
qualify without limit for inclusion as part of the 65% requirement are loans
made to purchase, refinance, construct, improve or repair domestic residential
housing and manufactured housing; home equity loans; mortgage-backed securities
(where the mortgages are secured by domestic residential housing or manufactured
housing); stock issued by the FHLB of Atlanta; and direct or indirect
obligations of the FDIC. In a recent amendment to the QTL, small business loans,
credit car loans, student loans and loans for personal, family and household
purposes were allowed to be included without limitation as qualified
investments. In addition, the following assets, among others, may be included in
meeting the test subject to an overall limit of 20% of the savings institution's
portfolio assets: 50% of residential mortgage loans originated and sold within
90 days of origination; 100% of consumer and educational loans (limited to 10%
of total portfolio assets); and stock issued by the FHLMC or the FNMA. Portfolio
assets consist of total assets minus the sum of (i) goodwill and other
intangible assets, (ii) property used by the savings institution to conduct its
business, and (iii) liquid assets up to 20% of the institution's total assets.
At December 31, 1998, the qualified thrift investments of the Association were
approximately 82.2% of its portfolio assets.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM. The Association is a member of the FHLB
of Atlanta, which is one of 12 regional FHLBs that administer the home financing
credit function or savings institutions. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or
central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily
from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB
System. It makes loans to members (I.E. advances) in accordance with policies
and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the FHLB. At December
31, 1998, the Association had $91.9 million of FHLB advances. See Note 11 to
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
As a member, the Association is required to purchase and maintain stock
in the FHLB of Atlanta in an amount equal to at least 1% of its aggregate unpaid
residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts or similar obligations at
the beginning of each year. At December 31, 1998, the Association had $4.7
million in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement.
The FHLBs are required to provide funds for the resolution of troubled
savings institutions and to contribute to affordable housing programs through
direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment
and low- and moderate-income housing projects. These contributions have
adversely affected the level of FHLB dividends paid and could continue to do so
in the future. These contributions also could have an adverse effect on the
value of FHLB stock in the future. The dividend yield on the Association's FHLB
stock was 7.25% for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. Federal Reserve Board regulations require all
depository institutions to maintain non-interest earning reserves against their
transaction accounts (primarily NOW and Super NOW checking accounts) and
non-personal time deposits. At December 31, 1998, the Association was in
compliance with there reserve requirements. The balances maintained to meet the
reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board may be used to satisfy
liquidity requirements that may be imposed by the OTS.
35
36
FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION
FEDERAL TAXATION
For federal income tax purposes, Bankshares files a consolidated
federal income tax return with the Association on a fiscal year basis.
On May 13, 1997, permission was received from the Internal Revenue
Service ("IRS") to change the accounting period, for federal income tax
purposes, from September 30th to December 31st, effective December 31, 1996.
Bankshares and the Association are subject to the rules of federal
income taxation generally applicable to corporations under the Code. Most
corporations are not permitted to make deductible additions to bad debt reserves
under the Code. However, prior to the effective date of legislation passed in
1996, savings and loan associations and savings associations such as the
Association, which met certain tests prescribed by the IRS may have benefited
from favorable provisions provided for in Section 593 of the code regarding
deductions for taxable income for annual additions to the bad debt reserve.
During 1996, effective for years beginning after December 31, 1995,
legislation was passed that repealed section 593 of the Code. Section 593
allowed thrift institutions, including the Association, to use the
percentage-of-taxable income bad debt accounting method, if more favorable than
the specific charge-off method, for federal income tax purposes. The excess
reserves (deduction based on the percentage-of-taxable income less the deduction
based on the specific charge-off method) accumulated post-1987 are required to
be recaptured ratably over a six year period beginning in 1996. The excess
reserve as of December 31, 1996 was approximately $435,000. The same legislation
forgave the tax liability on pre-1987 accumulated bad debt reserves which would
have penalized any thrift choosing to adopt a bank charter because the tax would
have become due and payable. The unrecorded potential liability that was
forgiven approximated $4.3 million. See Note 9 to the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements in the Annual Report, attached hereto as Exhibit 13.
Deferred income taxes arise from the recognition of certain items of
income and expense for tax purposes in years different from those in which they
are recognized in the financial statements. In February 1992, the FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109). SFAS 109 was implemented by Bankshares retroactively,
effective October 1, 1993. The liability method accounts for deferred income
taxes by applying the enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet
date to differences between the book cost and the tax cost of assets and
liabilities. The resulting deferred tax liabilities and assets are adjusted to
reflect changes in tax laws.
Bankshares is subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax which is
imposed to the extent it exceeds Bankshares' regular income tax for the year.
The alternative minimum tax will be imposed at the rate of 20% of a specially
computed tax base. Included in this base will be a number of preference items,
including the interest on certain tax-exempt bonds issued after August 7, 1986.
In addition. for purposes of the alternative minimum tax, the amount of
alternative minimum taxable income that may be offset by net operating losses is
limited to 90% of alternative minimum taxable income.
The Association was audited by the IRS for the tax year 1990 during
fiscal year 1994. Based upon the audit, the Association received a "no-change"
letter from the IRS. Bankshares has not been audited by the IRS. See Notes 1 and
9 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report,
attached hereto as Exhibit 13.
STATE TAXATION
Under the laws of the State of Florida, Bankshares and its subsidiary
are generally subject to 5.5% tax on net income. The tax may be reduced by a
credit of up to 65% of the tax due as a result of certain intangible taxes. The
tax is deductible by Bankshares in determining its federal income tax liability.
Bankshares has not been audited by the State of Florida.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Bankshares owns no property independently from the Association. The
Association conducts its business through its home office located in North Palm
Beach, Florida, and 21 full-service branch offices and a loan production office
located in Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River Counties. The
following table sets forth certain information concerning the home office and
each branch office of the Association at December 31, 1998. The aggregate net
book value of the Association's premises and equipment was $26.0 million at
December 31, 1998. For additional information regarding the Association's
properties, see Note 6 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in
the Annual Report, attached hereto as Exhibit 13. In addition, the Association
owns or has placed earnest funds on four parcels of real estate for use as
possible future branch sites. The Association's total investment in such other
properties totaled $3.3 million at December 31, 1998 which is included in the
aggregate net book value of the Association's premises and equipment set forth
above.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are various claims and lawsuits in which Bankshares is
periodically involved incident to its business. In the opinion of management, no
material loss is expected from any of such pending claims or lawsuits.
The Association reached a final settlement with its insurance company
during the first quarter of 1999 on a claim related to a defalcation by a former
employee. The Association has recorded a partial recovery of the previously
recorded allowance for loss.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bankshares had 10,548,884 issued and outstanding shares at December 31,
1998. Bankshares initial registration statement (No. 333-62069) on Form S-1 was
declared effective on October 29, 1998. The Conversion offering commenced on
November 6, 1998 and expired on December 3, 1998. Friedman, Billings, Ramsey and
Co., Inc was the conversion agent in the offering. The sale in the Conversion
offering of 5,470,651 shares of Bankshares' common stock, par value $1.00 per
share ("Common Stock"), closed on December 15, 1998 for gross proceeds of $54.9
million. Net of offering costs and expenses of $1.7 million, the offering
generated net proceeds of $53.2 million. Of such proceeds, $4.4 million was
loaned to Bankshares' ESOP for the purchase by the ESOP of 437,652 shares of
Common Stock and $26.7 million was contributed to the Association in exchange
for the common stock of the Association issued in its conversion and
reorganization and was initially invested in interest-earning deposits at
December 31, 1998 pending investment in loans and securities. Bankshares used a
portion of the remaining $22.2 million to make a $21.0 million intercompany loan
to the Association at December 31, 1998. For information concerning the market
