Basis of Presentation --------------------- The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PNB Financial Group (the "Bank Holding Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific National Bank (the "Bank"), (collectively, the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of Management, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at September 30, 1997, and the consolidated results of operations and statements of cash flows for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996. Results for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim period, or for the year as a whole. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with the Company's annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with such statements. 2. Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows ------------------------------------ For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company defines cash and cash equivalents as cash on hand, cash due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold. 3. Preferred Stock --------------- The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares, no par value, preferred stock. No shares of preferred stock have been issued. 4. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards ---------------------------------------------- The FASB has issued a statement No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("EPS") which becomes effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997. This statement requires restatement of all prior period EPS data presented. This statement simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share previously found in APB Opinion No. 15 and makes them comparable to international EPS standards. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with the presentation of basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to APB Opinion 15. The Company's proforma basic and diluted EPS for the nine and three month periods ending September 30, 1997 is $1.52 and $1.41 and $.56 and $.51, respectively. In addition to the above newly issued accounting standards, the FASB issued in the first six months of 1997, SFAS statement No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure", SFAS statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", and SFAS statement No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". These statements will be effective for the Company for its year beginning January 1, 1998. Management has not yet completed its analysis to determine the impact implementation of SFAS No. 129, 130, and 131 will have on the Company's financial statements. 7 PNB FINANCIAL GROUP Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations September 30, 1997 Item 2. - ------- Summary - ------- The Company reported net income of $3,329,000 or $1.41 per fully diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to a net income of $2,553,000 or $1.11 per fully diluted share, for the same period in 1996. The increase in earnings was a result of several items including a significant decrease in nonperforming assets which, together with an 11% increase in the average assets resulted in a 21% increase in the Company's net interest margin. In addition, the Bank's residential mortgage division reported improved earnings due to an increase in the volume of residential mortgage loans funded and sold. As a result of these items, the Company reported a $2,642,000 (87%) increase in income before income taxes. This improvement was substantially offset with an increase in the provision for income taxes. The increase in the provision for income taxes was the result of the utilization of a net deferred tax asset during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. This utilization reduced the Company's provision for income taxes to 15.7% of pretax income during the nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared to 41% during the same period in 1997. As of September 30, 1997, the Company had total assets of $229.5 million, total loans of $113.6 million, and total deposits of $197.9 million, as compared to total assets of $198.2 million, total loans of $104.2 million, and total deposits of $170.0 million as of December 31, 1996. Average deposits for the first nine months of 1997 were $171.1 million as compared to an average deposit level of $157.5 million during the first nine months of 1996. The increase in deposits was due in part to an increase in the deposits of the Bank's escrow and title customers and the utilization of brokered deposits. As of September 30, 1997, the Bank had $7.0 million of brokered deposits which it is utilizing in place of more expensive borrowings to partially fund its mortgage loans held for sale. The following section sets forth the Company's condensed consolidated average balances of each principal category of assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. Average balances are based on daily averages for the Bank, and monthly averages for the Bank Holding Company, since the Bank Holding Company does not maintain daily average information. Management believes that the difference between monthly and daily average data (where monthly data has been used) is not significant. 8 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) September 30, 1997 1997 1996 ------------- ------------- Assets - ------ Cash and due from banks $ 12,923,000 $ 11,060,000 Investment securities 7,240,000 8,206,000 Federal funds sold 5,227,000 8,988,000 Mortgage loans held for sale 60,535,000 44,866,000 Loans 105,746,000 99,704,000 Less allowance for loan losses (1,816,000) (2,348,000) ------------ ------------ Net loans 103,930,000 97,356,000 Premises and equipment, net 1,062,000 1,244,000 Other real estate owned 3,422,000 3,063,000 Other assets 2,371,000 2,324,000 ------------ ------------ Total assets $196,710,000 $177,107,000 ============ ============ Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity - ------------------------------------ Deposits: Noninterest-bearing $ 72,240,000 $ 56,341,000 Interest-bearing 98,814,000 101,135,000 Short-term borrowings 2,413,000 382,000 Other liabilities 2,524,000 2,745,000 ------------ ------------ Total liabilities 175,991,000 160,603,000 ------------ ------------ Shareholders' equity: Capital stock 16,182,000 16,007,000 Retained earnings 4,579,000 647,000 Net unrealized loss on investment securities available for sale ( 42,000) (150,000) ------------ ------------ Total shareholders' equity 20,719,000 16,504,000 ------------ ------------ Total liabilities and shareholders' equity $196,710,000 $177,107,000 ============ ============ 9 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) September 30, 1997 Capital Resources - ----------------- The federally-mandated minimum capital requirements and the actual capitalization of the Company and the Bank as of September 30, 1997 are set forth below. CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 Pacific PNB Regulatory National Financial Requirements Bank Group ------------ -------- --------- Leverage Capital Ratio 4.0% 9.4% 10.7% Risk Based Capital: Tier 1 Capital 4.0% 13.2% 14.9% Total Capital 8.0% 14.5% 16.2% As of September 30, 1997, the Company and the Bank are categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, as well as under the FDIC's deposit insurance assessment risk ratings. Accordingly, the Company's Board of Directors believes the Company has excess capital which could be better utilized to increase earnings and shareholder value. The Board has investigated numerous strategic opportunities to deploy this excess capital and, on July 31, 1997, the Board authorized the Company to invest a maximum of $2.5 million, up to a maximum 5% of the outstanding voting shares, in a newly formed company ("Newco"). The Board believes that this investment will increase the Company's earnings and shareholder value and that the benefits of the investment outweighs the inherent risks associated with a start-up business. Newco will be a corporation which will elect to be subject to income tax as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"). A REIT is allowed to pass through its earnings to its shareholders without those earnings being subject to corporate income taxes. This REIT will specialize in the purchase and management of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities on single family and multifamily real estate properties throughout the United States. Newco will be structured to generate earnings from net interest margin, the spread between the interest rate it receives on its assets, and the interest rate it pays on its liabilities. Newco wishes to raise between forty and fifty million dollars of equity capital before year end 1997. The capital will be used along with borrowings (primarily under reverse repurchase agreements) to purchase adjustable rate mortgage assets. To minimize its interest rate risk, Newco will utilize various hedging techniques to match the interest rate structure of its liabilities to that of its assets. The Company and two other individuals have been involved in Newco's formation. These two individuals have significant experience and expertise in the purchase and management of mortgage loans and will become executive officers of Newco. Due to his expertise, Mr. Barbieri, the CEO and President of the Company and the Bank, will be an officer and board member of Newco. In addition, two members of the Board of Directors of the Company will also be on the Board of Directors of Newco. The Company believes that this affiliation is necessary to oversee its investment in the new company. In addition, it is anticipated 10 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) September 30, 1997 that the Bank will initially perform and be compensated for certain services, such as accounting and data processing for Newco. The Bank and Newco will also work together to design new mortgage products with terms and pricing that meet the needs of Newco's portfolio, and can be offered by the Bank through its extensive network of mortgage brokers as "portfolio products". The Bank does not currently offer any portfolio products and management believes that this could greatly enhance the mortgage division's product line. The Company's investment in Newco will be partially funded with a dividend of approximately $1.5 million from the Bank to the Bank Holding Company. The Bank's proforma capital ratios as of September 30, 1997, after this proposed dividend would be as follows: Pro-Forma September 30, 1997 Capital Ratios --------------------------------- Leverage Capital 8.7% Risk Based Capital: Tier 1 Capital 12.2% Total Capital 13.5% With the proforma capital ratios as of September 30, 1997, the Bank would still be considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action as well as the FDIC's deposit insurance assessment ratings. Liquidity - --------- Liquidity, as it relates to the Bank Holding Company, represents the ability to obtain funds to support its investment activities and operating needs. The Bank Holding Company's principal sources of funds are its cash balances, short-term loan portfolio, cash dividends from its subsidiary bank, as well as its ability to raise capital by selling additional shares of common stock. As of September 30, 1997, the Bank Holding Company has cash balances of approximately $534,000. These liquid assets, along with cash generated from its loan portfolio, as well as any additional cash dividend from the Bank, will support its 1997 operating requirements. In April 1997, the Board of Directors ("Board") authorized management to purchase back up to $1.0 million of the Company's common stock at a maximum price established by the Board. The Board believes that the Company's stock is a good investment that should benefit all shareholders. As of September 30, 1997, the Company has purchased and retired 13,003 shares at an average price of $15.46 per share. Due to the limited supply of the Company's stock, management does not anticipate the full utilization of the $1.0 million. Liquidity, as it relates to banking, represents the ability to obtain funds to meet loan commitments and to satisfy demand for deposit withdrawals. The principal sources of funds that provide liquidity to the Bank are its cash balances, federal funds sold, securities available for sale and a portion of mortgage loans held 11 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) September 30, 1997 for sale. The Bank's portfolio loan-to-deposit ratio (excluding residential mortgage loans held for sale) at September 30, 1997 was 56.2% as compared to 57.9% at September 30, 1996 and 60.0% as of December 31, 1996. The Bank's residential mortgage division utilizes the Bank's funding sources to fund its mortgage loans held for sale. Management can slow down or speed up the shipping and sale of these loans, and manages the balance of the mortgage loans held for sale to match its funds available. In this way, management maximizes the yield on its liquid assets. Due to the fluctuations in funding and sale of mortgage loans, along with changes in the deposit balances of the Bank, the matching of liquid assets and mortgage loans held for sale is not always achieved. At certain times during the year, the Bank utilizes its borrowing relationships to help fund the mortgage loans held for sale. These borrowing sources include an unsecured line of credit with one of its correspondent banks, a line of credit secured by a portion of its real estate loans with the Federal Home Loan Bank, borrowings against the Bank's securities, and the use of brokered deposits. A large portion of the Bank's deposits consist of deposits maintained by escrow companies and, to a lesser degree, title insurance companies. At September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, escrow and title insurance companies' deposits totaled approximately $40.0 million or 20.2% of total deposits and $28.2 million or 16.6% of total deposits, respectively. This compared to escrow and title insurance deposits of approximately $23.7 million or 14.3% of total deposits at September 30, 1996. The increase in these types of deposits are primarily a result of an increase in real estate activity in Southern California. Management expects these deposits, along with others, to continue to increase in the fourth quarter of 1997. The Bank's policy is to maintain these deposits at a level not to exceed 25% of total deposits. The Bank monitors the deposit levels of this group closely. During the past two years, no single escrow or title insurance customer accounted for over 4% of the Bank's total deposits. Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996 ----------------------------------------------- Total interest and loan fee income - ---------------------------------- Total interest and loan fee income increased $1,525,000 (14.8%) between the periods presented primarily due to the significant increase in the average balance of mortgage loans held for sale and, to a lesser degree, the increase in the average balance of its portfolio loans. The increase in the average balance of mortgage loans held for sale is due to the increased activity in the Bank's residential mortgage loan department and to management's efforts to increase profitability by increasing the holding period of these loans. During the first nine months of 1997, the Bank funded $792 million of mortgage loans, compared to the first nine months of 1996, during which the Bank funded mortgage loans totaling $592 million. The increase in total interest income was also due in part to the significant decrease in nonaccrual loans. This is reflected in the loan rate component of the table below. During the first nine months ended September 30, 1997, nonaccrual loans averaged $2.3 million compared to average nonaccrual loans of $9.2 million during the same period in 1996. Although not as significant, the increase in interest income was also the result of a quarter of a point increase in the prime lending rate which occurred in March of 1997. 12 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) September 30, 1997 The table below sets forth the Company's rate and volume analysis for interest-earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Change in interest income due to: Volume Rate Total ---------- --------- ---------- Loans $ 421,000 $297,000 $ 718,000 Mortgage loans held for sale 916,000 (17,000) 899,000 Investment securities (41,000) 25,000 (16,000) Federal funds sold (144,000) 5,000 (135,000) ---------- -------- ---------- Total $1,152,000 $310,000 $1,462,000 ========== ======== ---------- Change in loan fees 63,000 ---------- Total change in interest and loan fee income $1,525,000 ========== Total interest expense - ---------------------- Total interest expense decreased $5,000 (.2%) between the periods presented primarily due to a decrease in the rate of time deposits which was mostly offset with an increase in the volume of short term borrowings. The Bank has reduced its interest rates paid on time deposits and has used its short-term borrowings to fund its mortgage loans held for sale more often during the first nine months of 1997 than the first nine months of 1996. In order to attract new depositors and overall business relationships, during the second and third quarters of 1997, the Bank offered a high rate personal money market account which attracted approximately $8.0 million in new interest bearing demand deposits. This promotion increased the Bank's overall rate paid for its interest bearing demand deposits. Now that this promotion has ended, management expects that a portion of these deposits will leave the Bank and that both the rate and volume of interest bearing demand deposits will decrease during the fourth quarter of 1997. The following table sets forth the Company's rate and volume analysis for interest-bearing liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the corresponding period ended September 30, 1996. Change in interest expense due to: Volume Rate Total ----------- ------------ --------- Interest-bearing demand deposit $ (39,000) $ 49,000 $ 10,000 Time deposits (24,000) (69,000) (93,000) Savings deposits 4,000 1,000 5,000 Short-term borrowings 89,000 (16,000) 73,000 ---------- ----------- -------- Total $ 30,000 $ (35,000) $ (5,000) ========== =========== ======== 13 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) September 30, 1997 Allowance for loan losses - ------------------------- An analysis of the allowance for loan losses is summarized as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30 ------------------------------ 1997 1996 ---------- ----------- Balance at beginning of period $1,812,000 $ 2,659,000 ---------- ----------- Charge-offs (480,000) (1,567,000) Recoveries 308,000 223,000 ---------- ----------- Net charge-offs (172,000) (1,344,000) ---------- ----------- Contribution to allowance for loan losses 765,000 750,000 ---------- ----------- Balance at end of period $2,405,000 $ 2,065,000 ========== =========== Allowance as a percentage of total loans 2.1% 2.1% The following table sets forth the total amount of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more, troubled debt restructurings, classified loans and other real estate owned as of September 30,1997 and 1996 as well as December 31, 1996. Sept. 30, 1997 Dec. 31, 1996 Sept. 30, 1996 -------------- ------------- -------------- Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis $1,836,000 $3,220,000 $4,686,000 Accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more 90,000 277,000 399,000 Total classified loans 6,094,000 6,087,000 8,750,000 Other real estate owned 563,000 3,483,000 5,798,000 Troubled debt restructurings 4,041,000 4,108,000 1,749,000 14 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) September 30, 1997 The Company's problem assets have decreased significantly during the past year. Classified loans decreased $2.7 million (30%) from September 30, 1996 to September 30, 1997, while non accrual loans and REO have decreased $2.9 million (61%) and $5.2 million (90%), respectively, over the same period. In addition, the Company's net charge off for the period was only $172,000, or an 87% reduction from the net charge off during the same period in 1996. Despite these significant improvements, during the third quarter, the Company did classify one large loan as doubtful and has made an additional contribution to reserve for a possible loss on this loan. Primarily as a result of this one loan, the Company's contribution to the provision for loan losses was $765,000 for the first nine months of 1997 compared to $750,000 during the same period in 1996. The allowance is a result of Management's analysis of the estimated inherent losses in the Bank's loan portfolio. This analysis takes into consideration the level and trend of loan losses, loan delinquencies, classified loan volumes and Management's analysis of current market conditions. Other Income - ------------ Other income increased $2,275,000 (23.8%) between the periods presented. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue generated from the Bank's residential mortgage operation. During the first nine months of 1997, gross revenue from the mortgage operation increased $2,074,000 (24.8%) compared to the corresponding period in 1996. The increase in the mortgage division's gross revenue resulted in the division posting a pretax income, before administration allocation, of $2,961,000 during the first nine months of 1997, compared to $2,062,000 during the same period in 1996. The increase in net income of this department is primarily due to the higher volume of loans funded and sold along with a lower provision for indemnification reserve. The increase in service charges, fees and other, is due to an increase in rental income from REO properties along with an increase in both servicing income and sales premiums earned in the Bank's SBA department. These increases were partially offset with a decrease in the gain on REO sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company reported $360,000 gain on the sales of REO compared to $268,000 during the same period in 1997. Due to the significant decrease in REO, management does not anticipate this level of gains in the future. The increase in the REO rental income is offset with the corresponding increase in REO expenses. Other Expenses - -------------- Other expenses increased $1,148,000 (8.7%) between the periods presented. The Company's other expenses increased only $21,000 (.3%) while the Bank's residential mortgage division's expenses increased $1,169,000 (18.6%). The increase in the mortgage division's expenses was due to the increased level of activity and was substantially associated with the increase in salaries, employee benefits and commissions, which were partially offset with a reduction in the department's loan indemnification expense. The increase in the Company's other expenses of $21,000 was primarily due to an increase in salaries, employee benefits and REO expenses. These increases were offset with decreases in insurance, occupancy and legal expenses. In 1996, the Company incurred a special one time assessment by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of $300,000 to recapitalize the SAIF Fund. As a result of this one time charge, the SAIF deposit insurance rates were reduced. During 1997, the Bank has seen a savings of approximately $88,000 due to 15 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) September 30, 1997 a reduction of the SAIF premium. With the closure of the Irvine Spectrum branch on November 30, 1997, management expects occupancy and salaries to be reduced further without any effect to the Company's loans or deposit totals. In addition, with the significant reduction of REO properties, management anticipates a reduction in the REO expenses. Provision for Income Taxes - -------------------------- During the first nine months of 1996, the Company recorded a provision for income tax of 15.7% of pretax income. This amount was based upon the utilization of a portion of its available net deferred tax assets which had not been recognized in previous periods. These deferred tax assets included Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards. As all of the available deferred tax assets were recorded by the Company through December 31, 1996, the Company will be recording tax expense of approximately 41% from December 31, 1996 forward. Accordingly, during the first nine months of 1997, the Company recorded a provision of approximately 41%. Cash and Cash Equivalents - ------------------------- As of September 30, 1997, cash and cash equivalents increased $.7 million from December 31, 1996 balances primarily due to an increase in deposits, which was partially offset by an increase in the cash used in operations along with an increase in loans. The cash used in operations is primarily a function of the increase in mortgage loans held for sale. Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996 ----------------------------------------------- Total interest and loan fee income - ---------------------------------- Total interest and loan fee income increased $707,000 (19.8%) between the periods presented primarily due to the significant increase in the average balance of mortgage loans held for sale and, to a lesser degree, its portfolio loans. In addition, the increase in interest income was due in part to the decrease in the average balance of nonaccrual loans between the periods. During the three months ended September 30, 1997, nonaccrual loans averaged $1.9 million compared to an average balance of $7.8 million during the corresponding period in 1996. The increase in the average balance of mortgage loans held for sale is due to the increased activity in the Bank's residential mortgage loan department and to management's efforts to increase profitability by increasing the holding period of these loans. The table below sets forth the Company's rate and volume analysis for interest-earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996. 16 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) September 30, 1997 Change in interest income due to: Volume Rate Total --------- -------- --------- Loans $ 291,000 $ 96,000 $ 387,000 Mortgage loans held for sale 526,000 (60,000) 466,000 Investment securities ( 11,000) 9,000 (2,000) Federal funds sold (182,000) 7,000 (175,000) --------- -------- --------- Total $ 624,000 $ 52,000 $ 676,000 ========= ======== ========= Change in loan fees 31,000 --------- Total change in interest and loan fee income $ 707,000 ========= Total interest expense - ---------------------- Total interest expense increased $77,000 (7.7%) between the periods presented due to an increase in the rate of interest bearing demand deposits along with an increase in the volume of short-term borrowings. The following table sets forth the Company's rate and volume analysis for interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the corresponding period ended September 30, 1996. Change in interest expense due to: Volume Rate Total -------- -------- ------- Interest-bearing demand deposits $(14,000) $ 58,000 $44,000 Time deposits 7,000 ( 6,000) 1,000 Savings deposits 1,000 - 1,000 Short-term borrowings 42,000 (11,000) 31,000 -------- -------- ------- Total $ 36,000 $ 41,000 $77,000 ======== ======== ======= 17 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) September 30, 1997 Allowance for possible loan losses - ---------------------------------- An analysis of the allowance for possible loan losses is summarized as follows: Three Months Ended September 30 ------------------------------- 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- Balance at beginning of period $1,751,000 $2,175,000 ---------- ---------- Charge-offs ( 13,000) (448,000) Recoveries 97,000 188,000 ---------- ---------- Net recovery (charge off) 84,000 (260,000) ---------- ---------- Contribution to allowance for possible loan losses 570,000 150,000 ---------- ---------- Balance at end of period $2,405,000 $2,065,000 ========== ========== Allowance as a percentage of total loans 2.1% 2.1% The Company's contribution to the provision for loan losses was $570,000 for the quarter ending September 30, 1997 compared to $150,000 during the same period in 1996. The increase in the contribution to the allowance for possible loan losses between the periods presented was due to the classification of one large loan as doubtful during the quarter ended September 30, 1997. Management does not expect this loan to have a material effect on the Company's performance during the fourth quarter of 1997. Other Income - ------------ Other income increased $893,000 (26.1%) between the periods presented. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue generated from the Bank's residential mortgage division. During the three months ended September 30,1997, gross revenue from the mortgage division increased $813,000 (27.4%) compared to the corresponding period in 1996. The increase in the mortgage division's gross revenue resulted in the division posting a pretax income, before administration allocation, of $1,097,000 during the three months ended September 30, 1997, compared to $669,000 during the same period in 1996. The increase in net income of this department is primarily due to the higher volume of loans funded and sold along with a lower provision for indemnification reserve. Other Expenses - -------------- Other expenses increased $61,000 (1.3%) between the periods presented. The Company's other expenses decreased $323,000 (13%) while the Bank's residential mortgage division's expenses increased 18 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) September 30, 1997 $384,000 (16.7%). The increase in the mortgage division's expenses was due to the increased level of activity, and was substantially associated with the increase in salaries, employee benefits and commissions. These increases were partially offset with a decrease in the department's loan indemnification expense. The decrease in the Company's other expenses of $323,000 was primarily due to a decrease in the Bank's deposit insurance expense. During the third quarter of 1996, the Bank incurred a special one time SAIF assessment of $300,000. Provision for Income Taxes - -------------------------- During the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Company recorded a provision for income tax of 23.6% of pretax income.
