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. Bankshares' significant assets include cash and its investment in
its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Association. On December 15, 1998, Bankshares
completed its reorganization and stock offering (the "Reorganization") in
connection with the conversion and reorganization of ComFed, M. H. C. (the
"Holding Company"), a mutual holding company, and its mid-tier holding company,
Community Savings Bankshares, Inc., a federal mid-tier stock holding company
(the "Mid-Tier"). 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 $53.0 million. Bankshares also issued 5,078,233 shares
of common stock to existing minority shareholders of the Mid-Tier (the
"Exchange") at an exchange ratio of 2.0445 shares (the "Exchange Ratio") for
each share of Mid-Tier common stock. The 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 was applied to
all stock-related data for comparability purposes.
At December 31, 1999, Bankshares had total assets of $893.0 million,
total loans of $608.4 million, total deposits of $613.9 million, and total
shareholders' equity of $115.7 million. At December 31, 1999, there were
9,319,873 shares of common stock outstanding which 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 and is the
wholly-owned subsidiary of Bankshares. 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").
On December 15, 1998, Bankshares became the holding company for the
Association as a result of the completion of the Reorganization. In the course
of the Reorganization, the Holding Company and the Mid-Tier were merged with and
into the Association. Such mergers were accounted for in a manner similar to a
pooling of interests and did not result in any significant accounting
adjustments. Net proceeds from the Reorganization approximated $53.0 million
which were initially invested in interest-earning deposits at December 31, 1998,
and which have since been disbursed primarily to fund loan originations and
securities purchases, and repurchases of Bankshares' common stock in the open
market. This use of funds reflected the implementation of the Association's
business plan to prudently deploy the capital raised in the Reorganization,
without an increase in high risk lending or investment activities.
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 residential and commercial real
estate loans, consumer and commercial business loans, and mortgage-backed and
related securities ("MBS") and investment securities. See "- Lending Activities"
and "- Securities Portfolio". 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 strategy is to operate as a well-capitalized, profitable and
2
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 MBS and in 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
yields earned or rates paid on such 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. The
Association also uses leveraged transactions in which security purchases are
funded with FHLB advances at an acceptable interest rate spread (the difference
between the yield earned on the securities and the rate paid on the borrowings).
The Association's executive office is located at 660 U.S. Highway One,
North Palm Beach, Florida, and its telephone number at that address is (561)
881-4800.
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.
YEAR 2000 CONSIDERATIONS
Bankshares completed the change to January 1, 2000 on all of its
systems with no material problems. Management and staff will continue to monitor
its systems and to test date sensitive calculations throughout 2000.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "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' most 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, four of which are located in Martin
County, thirteen 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.
As a result of the 1999 sales of the majority of the MacArthur
Foundation land holdings in Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie Counties, major
real estate development is scheduled to begin in Northern Palm Beach County
during 2000. Developers have filed plans for residential and commercial projects
with construction scheduled to begin in early 2000. The Association's lending
staff will aggressively pursue lending opportunities during 2000 as a result of
this development.
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 competitive
interest rates and the 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.

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 1999. This study projects a 1.6% growth
rate to 1.5 million by the end of the year 2000 and an additional 3.0% between
2000 and 2002. This population growth suggests increased demand for mortgage
loans in the four county market. However, such estimates may not prove
representative of actual experience for the remainder of 2000 or in 2001 and
2002. In addition, rising interest rates as experienced in the first quarter of
2000 may slow the demand for loans.
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 continues to implement a $375 million project called City Place
which is 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
continues on Abacoa, a new subdivision development which features a baseball
stadium, a Florida Atlantic University honors campus, commercial office and
retail space, as well as single-family and multi-family residential properties
designed to accommodate up to 10,000 residents. TriRail, the commuter train
service for southern Florida, will be extended northward to service this
community. The western communities of Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, Loxahatchee
and the Acreage are the fastest growing areas of Palm Beach County. Wellington
Green, a 466-acre project under development in Wellington, will include a 1.2
million square-foot shopping mall, as well as a 300-unit adult living facility,
a 400-unit multi-family residential community, a 125-room hotel and 350,000
square feet of office and retail space. The Association opened a branch office
at the Shoppes of Ibis in late 1999 on one of the major roads into the western
communities and has purchased a branch site at Andros Isle on another major
artery leading to these same communities. (See "- Properties").
In St. Lucie County, the population of the city of Port St. Lucie has
increased by an estimated 83,000 people, which is a 49.0% increase since 1990
and a 3.5% increase during 1999 making it the largest city in St. Lucie, Martin
and Palm Beach counties. It is the third largest city in Florida in terms of
land mass comprising between 80 to 85 square miles. Founded in 1961 as a
retirement home community, it has grown into a diverse city. Planners expect
significant growth to continue in the city, estimating the final population to
be approximately 250,000 people. Also in St. Lucie County, redevelopment of
downtown Ft. Pierce is expected to be completed by 2001. The redevelopment
centers around the Sunrise Theater, the restoration of City Hall, and new
construction in the Indian River Lagoon area including a new bridge and road
improvements.
The economy in the Association's 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 counties. 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.
During 1999, about 26,000 jobs were created in Palm Beach County, a growth rate
of 5.2%. However, Palm Beach County's largest employer, Pratt and Whitney,
announced that it is moving about 2,800 military jet engine jobs to Connecticut.
Employees will be offered transfers to Connecticut, early retirement or
termination by the end of 2000. The majority of the affected employees live in
Palm Beach and Martin counties. This loss of jobs will be partially offset by
the expansion of Pratt and Whitney's liquid space operations which will remain
in Palm Beach County. In addition, other employers such as Wal-Mart have
announced expansion plans for Palm Beach County in 2000 and 2001. Other major
employers in Palm Beach County include Columbia Palm Beach Healthcare System,
Inc., Motorola, Inc., Florida Power and Light Co., the Boca Raton Resort and
Club, 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
4
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 further increasing competition.
Based on total assets as of December 31, 1999, the Association was the
third largest financial institution headquartered in Palm Beach County. The
Association held 2.0%, 6.4%, 2.9% and 0.9% of all bank and savings association
deposits in Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties,
respectively, at September 30, 1999.
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 residential mortgage loans which provide for a fixed-rate of interest
during the first five or seven years and which thereafter converts to ARM loans,
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
time and Board of Director established limits, the Association may periodically
decide to retain such loans in the portfolio. There were no loans held for sale
at December 31, 1999. Loans serviced for other institutions totaled $11.3
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 customers' needs. In
response to customer demand, the Association has expanded its commercial lending
programs by adding new commercial loan officers and a credit analyst to its
staff. The Association intends to continue to pursue the origination of such
loans during 2000 in connection with providing services to its small business
customers.
At December 31, 1999, the gross loan portfolio totaled $667.8 million.
At such date, the weighted average remaining term to maturity of the loan
portfolio was approximately 15.5 years. At December 31, 1999, $287.9 million, or
43.1% of the total gross loan portfolio consisted of loans with adjustable
interest rates.
To supplement local loan originations, the Association also invests in
MBS 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 $31.0 million, net of premiums, at
December 31, 1999. The Association also participates with other financial
institutions in programs which provide residential mortgage loans to low-and
moderate-income borrowers. During 2000, 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 residential loans secured by
properties in the southeast United States and California. At December 31, 1999,
$432.3 million, or 64.73%, 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 25 years. However, it has been the Association's
experience that the average length of time which such loans remain outstanding
is approximately 5 years.
The Association currently offers one- to four-family residential
mortgage loans with terms typically ranging from 15 to 30 years, and with
8
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 strategy, and loan products offered by its competitors. In a
rising interest rate environment, which existed throughout much of 1999,
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 $93.4 million, or 65.0%, of all one- to four-family
loan originations during the year ended December 31, 1999. 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 on ARM loans originated in
the local market. This loan product is generally offered with a term of 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 ("Treasury Index") plus a margin,
usually 287.5 basis points. 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
$176.7 million at December 31, 1999.
The primary purpose of offering ARM loans is to make the loan portfolio
more interest rate sensitive. However, because the interest income earned on ARM
loans varies with prevailing interest rates, such loans do not offer as
consistently a predictable stream of 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 in 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.
As an integral part of its community reinvestment activities, the
Association participates 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 then 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 $1.2
million in consortium loans during 1999. 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 1999, $66,000 of such loans were
purchased. It is management's intent, subject to market conditions, to continue
purchasing such loans.
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, 1999, the loan portfolio included
$30.6 million of loan participations and whole loans secured by one- to
four-family residences, none of which were purchased during 1999.
The Association's fixed-rate 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 loans secured by 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 title insurance regarding good title, are
required on all properties securing real estate loans made by the Association.
CONSTRUCTION AND LAND LOANS. At December 31, 1999, $95.7 million, or
14.33%, and $40.4 million, or 6.05%, of the gross loan portfolio consisted of
one- to four-family residential construction loans and land loans, respectively.
There were no non-residential construction loans at December 31, 1999. Fixed-
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
each phase of construction is completed and verified by the Association. In
addition, construction loans are also made to builders for single-family
residences held for sale. Such loans totaled $10.6 million at December 31, 1999.
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 residences held for sale are generally
originated for a term of up to one year and provide for interest-only payments.
At December 31, 1999, the Association's largest real estate
construction loan was a $15.0 million line of credit, with disbursed funds of
$12.9 million, which was within the Association's regulatory
loans-to-one-borrower limit at the time of the origination of the loan. As a
result of the Association's funding by dividend distribution of Bankshares'
repurchase program of treasury stock, the lending relationship exceeded the
loans-to-one-borrower capital limitation at December 31, 1999. A $5.0 million
participation interest in the line of credit was sold by the Association to
Bankshares subsequent to December 31, 1999 in order to comply with the
regulation. This acquisition and construction line of credit is secured by
single-family estate homes and condominiums located on the Atlantic Ocean in
Indian River County.
Construction loans are also offered on multi-family and commercial real
estate property. At December 31, 1999, multi-family construction loans totaled
$15.0 million, or 2.25% of the gross loan portfolio. There were no commercial
real estate construction loans at December 31, 1999.
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%. During 1999, the Association sold a $6.0 million
participation interest in a $21.0 million loan secured by land to Bankshares in
order to comply with the loans-to-one-borrower regulation. Bankshares recorded
the transaction as a $6.0 million participation loan purchased.
10
Adjustable-rate single-family construction and land loans are currently
offered at the Treasury Index plus a margin, usually between 287.5 and 400 basis
points. 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. 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 $5.8 million, or 0.88%, of
the gross loan portfolio at December 31, 1999. At December 31, 1999, a total of
38 loans were secured by multi-family residential properties. Multi-family
residential loans are primarily secured by rental properties with between five
and thirty-six units. At December 31, 1999, substantially all multi-family
residential loans were secured by properties located within the Association's
market area. At December 31, 1999, multi-family residential loans had an average
principal balance of approximately $154,000. At such date, the largest
multi-family residential loan had a principal balance of $553,000, and was
performing in accordance with its terms. Multi-family residential loans are
currently only offered with adjustable interest rates, although in the past,
fixed-rate multi-family residential loans also were originated. Multi-family
residential 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 residential loans. Multi-family
residential 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 residential loans is currently priced using the Treasury Index plus
a margin, usually between 325 and 375 basis points 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
may 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 $58.5 million, or 8.76 %, of the gross loan portfolio
at December 31, 1999. 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, 1999, substantially all of the commercial real estate loans were
secured by properties located within the Association's market area. At December
31, 1999, a total of 217 loans were secured by commercial real estate with an
average principal balance of approximately $270,000. 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 such as the prime rate plus a margin. 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 increased its commercial real estate loan originations
in 1999. An experienced commercial lending manager, two commercial loan officers
and a credit analyst are part of the Lending Division staff. During the year
ended December 31, 1999, $26.1 million of commercial real estate loans were
originated resulting in an aggregate total of such loans of $58.5 million. The
11
Association intends to continue to emphasize the origination of commercial real
estate and business loans to its commercial customers in the future due to the
return available to the Association on such loans.
At December 31, 1999, the largest commercial real estate loan
relationship had an outstanding principal balance of $2.5 million, which is
within the Association's regulatory loans-to-one-borrower limit. Collateral for
the loan is two business parcels containing multiple retail stores, lumber yards
and office buildings located in the Association's market area. 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, 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, 1999, consumer loans totaled $13.5
million, or 2.02%, 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
consumer lending will continue but recognizes that local competition for
consumer loans may limit the Association's ability to significantly increase the
total of its consumer loan portfolio.
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. The Association
emphasizes its activities in the commercial business lending market as part of
its overall increased commercial lending activity. At December 31, 1999, the 62
commercial business loans outstanding had an aggregate balance of $6.5 million
and an average loan balance of approximately $105,000. Commercial business loans
originated during the year ended December 31, 1999 totaled $1.9 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, 1999, the largest commercial business loan was a line
of credit secured by accounts receivable, contract rights, inventory, equipment,
furniture and personal property. The $2.5 million line of credit had an
outstanding principal balance of $1.3 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.
12
Outside members of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board of
Directors, the President, certain other officers, and branch managers have been
granted the authority to approve loans in various amounts depending on the types
of loans involved. In addition, the Association has a Loan Committee which
consists of at least one outside director and the President, the Division
Director of Lending and the New Loan Operations Manager. Larger loans must be
approved by one or more of such members of the Loan Committee depending on the
size of the loan. Loans in excess of $2.5 million may only be approved by any
three members of the Large Loan Committee. The members of the Large Loan
Committee include five of the outside directors, the President, the Division
Director of Lending and the New Loan Operations Manager. At December 31, 1999,
commitments to originate loans, excluding the undisbursed portion of loans in
process, totaled $5.3 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.
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. All of such
purchased loans, which totaled $30.6 million at December 31, 1999, are secured
by residential real estate loans. Substantially all of such loans are whole
loans; however, participation interests account for approximately $790,000 of
the $30.6 million.

13
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 the prepayment or the sale of
the related loan. At December 31, 1999, unearned discounts and premiums and
deferred loan origination fees and costs totaled $1.5 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 $387,000, $198,000 and
$269,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, 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, 1999, the unpaid principal balances of loans sold
totaled approximately $11.3 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 $14.5 million at December 31, 1999. A
partially funded lending relationship had exceeded the loans-to-one borrower
limits at December 31, 1999. A $5.0 million participation interest in the loan
was sold subsequent to December 31, 1999 in order to comply with the regulation.
The following table presents the five largest lending relationships at
December 31, 1999:

At December 31, 1999, all of the aforementioned loans were performing in
accordance with their terms.
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
again 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
borrower 10 days to repay all outstanding interest and principal. If the
delinquency is not cured, foreclosure proceedings are initiated.
14
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 if less
than 90 days, in the event that 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, 1999, non-performing assets
(non-performing loans and real estate owned ("REO")) totaled $1.5 million, and
the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.17%. 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).

(1) The other non-performing asset at September 30, 1996 represented a deposit
account due to the Association whose recovery was in doubt. All funds were
recovered in the subsequent periods.
(2) Net of specific valuation allowances.
The largest non-performing asset at December 31, 1999 was a REO
property consisting of a single-family house located in St. Lucie county with a
recorded balance of $243,000, and an appraised value of $340,000. There are
currently no immediate prospects for the sale of the property.
During the year ended December 31, 1999, gross interest income of
$61,000 would have been recorded on non-performing loans accounted for on a
non-accrual basis if the loans had been current throughout the period. No
interest income on non-accrual loans was included in income during such period.

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 of such loans require classification
in accordance with applicable regulations.

Association's classified assets at the dates indicated.

(1) Includes three loans aggregating $1.1 million which were performing
according to their terms at December 31, 1999, but which management had
determined to classify as substandard due to future doubt about the
collectibility of such loans.
17
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, 1999, the Association's securities
portfolio totaled $183.6 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.
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, MBS, 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 $5.0 million for 1999.
Principal repayments on amortizing securities totaled $29.5 million in 1999. The
repayments are a general reflection of lower market rates of interest 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, 1999 (the "Annual Report") attached hereto as Exhibit 13.

MORTGAGE-BACKED AND RELATED SECURITIES. The Association invests in MBS
which are included in the securities portfolio and are classified as either
available for sale or held to maturity. At December 31, 1999, net MBS totaled
$74.9 million, or 8.4%, of total assets. Of this amount, $18.3 million and $56.6
million were classified as held to maturity and available for sale,
respectively. At December 31, 1999, the market value of the net MBS portfolio
totaled approximately $74.6 million. Management primarily invests in fixed-rate
MBS with weighted average lives of five to seven years. Management believes that
investing in short-term MBS limits the Association's exposure to higher interest
rates. During fiscal year 1999, $29.7 million of MBS 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 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 Government National Mortgage
Association ("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, 1999, investment
securities held to maturity totaled $38.8 million and included United States
Government and agency obligations totaling $14.6 million, MBS totaling $18.3
million and corporate debt issues totaling $5.9 million.
Included in corporate debt issues at December 31, 1998 and 1997, are
two asset-backed securities issued by the Auto Bonds Receivable Corporation (the
"Auto Bonds"), which were purchased during fiscal year 1994, and are secured by
automobile loan receivables. The Auto Bonds totaled $413,000 at December 31,
1999. During 1999, management determined that the decline in fair value on the
Association's investment in the Auto Bonds was other than temporary resulting in
a write down of $138,000 and a reclassification from held to maturity to
available for sale.
The following tables set forth the carrying value of, and activity in
the securities held to maturity at the dates indicated. At December 31, 1999,
the market value of the investments was approximately $41.3 million.

SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE. Securities available for sale are
carried on the books at fair value as required by FASB No. 115 and totaled
$144.8 million at December 31, 1999. Included in securities available for sale
are equity securities totaling $50,000, mutual funds totaling $49.8 million,
United States Government and agency obligations totaling $33.5 million,
corporate debt issues totaling $4.9 million and MBS totaling $56.6 million.
Mutual fund investments include mutual funds that invest primarily in
mortgage-backed securities and government and agency securities, and are
classified as available for sale for accounting purposes. The mutual funds which
invest in mortgage-backed securities have characteristics similar to the MBS in
which they invest. Mutual fund investments include approximately $35.1 million
in funds which invest in adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities issued by
FNMA, FHLMC and GNMA, as well as CMOs and real estate mortgage investment
conduits and other securities collateralized by or representing interests in
real estate mortgages, and approximately $14.7 million in funds which invest in
asset-backed, corporate and CMO obligations.

Included in corporate debt issues at December 31, 1999 are two
asset-backed securities issued by the Auto Bonds Receivable Corporation, which
were purchased during fiscal year 1994, and are secured by automobile loan
receivables. At December 31, 1999, the Auto Bonds were in default with
materially reduced payments occurring. Consequently, management determined that
the decline in fair value on the Association's investment in the Auto Bonds was
other than temporary resulting in a write down of $138,000 and a
reclassification from held to maturity to available for sale, resulting in a
balance of $413,000. At December 31, 1999, the trustee for the Auto Bonds had
brought suit against the risk default insurance carrier to require payment of
the principal balance and accrued interest on these bonds. Management cannot be
certain as to the outcome of such litigation.
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 $21.4 million at December
31, 1999. In addition, interest-earning deposits totaling $1.8 million were held
in other financial institutions at December 31, 1999. 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

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 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.

Deposits are used to fund loan originations, the purchase of securities
and for general business purposes. The deposit growth in fiscal year 1999 of
$19.5 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 as well as in leveraged
transactions used to purchase securities. 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, 1999, $140.2 million of FHLB advances were outstanding with a weighted
average interest rate of 5.59%.
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, or to fund loan originations if liquidity is low.
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, 1999, the net outstanding balance of the
Bond was $14.5 million with an effective rate of 10.09%. For further information
on the Bond, see Note 10 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 is
funded by two loans from Bankshares. ESOP Loan I was used to purchase 389,248
(as adjusted by the Exchange Ratio of 2.0445) shares of common stock in the open
market. 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
$637,000 at December 31, 1999. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 8.50%. ESOP
Loan II was used to permit the ESOP to purchase an additional 437,652 shares.
The loan is being repaid over 15 years and the loan had an outstanding balance
of $4.1 million at December 31, 1999 and has a fixed interest rate of 7.75%. For
further information, see Note 13 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements in the Annual Report attached hereto as Exhibit 13.

SUBSIDIARY ACTIVITIES
The Association currently has two active subsidiaries.
ComFed, Inc. ("ComFed") was formed in February 1971 for the purpose of
operating an insurance agency, Community Insurance Agency, which sells mortgage
life insurance. ComFed 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. For the year ended
December 31, 1999, ComFed reported net income of $130,000. At December 31, 1999,
the Association had an equity investment in ComFed of $338,000.
Palm River Development Co., Inc. ("Palm River") was formed in July 1999
to engage in a real estate development joint venture. Palm River purchased 117
acres of land located in Indian River County which is being developed by the
joint venture as 17 single-family lots, 48 condominiums, 22 carriage homes and
116 patio homes. A $15.0 million inter-company line of credit from the
Association is used by Palm River to fund the joint venture as needed. For the
year ended December 31, 1999, Palm River reported a net loss of $166,000. At
December 31, 1999, the Association had an equity loss in Palm River of $166,000
and the balance of the inter-company loan was $11.8 million.
PERSONNEL
As of December 31, 1999, Bankshares had no separately compensated
employees. Officers of Bankshares are employees of the Association and receive
all compensation from the Association. Because Bankshares' primary activity is
holding the stock of the Association, employees of the Association perform
limited duties for Bankshares.
As of December 31, 1999, the Association had 247 full-time and 41
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.
29
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.
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.
BANKSHARES
HOLDING COMPANY ACQUISITIONS. In December 1998, Bankshares became a
unitary 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
than 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 which applied to become
or were a unitary savings and loan holding company prior to May 4, 1999 and its
non-savings institution subsidiaries. Under the enacted Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
of 1999 (the "GBLA"), companies which applied to the OTS to become unitary
savings and loan holding companies will be restricted to engaging in those
activities traditionally permitted to multiple savings and loan holding
companies. 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
grandfathered unitary savings and loan holding companies under the GBLA, 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.
30
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.
In addition, under 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.
OTS regulations generally exclude 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 regulations also require 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.
On September 30, 1996, new legislation required all SAIF member
institutions to pay a one-time special assessment to recapitalize the SAIF, with
the aggregate amount to be sufficient to bring the reserve ratio to 1.25% of
insured deposits.
Currently, FDIC deposit insurance rates generally range from zero basis
points to 27 basis points, depending on the assessment risk classification
assigned to the depository institution. From 1998 through 1999, SAIF members
paid approximately 6.0 basis points, while BIF member institutions paid
approximately 1.3 basis points.
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.
31
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 4% of
adjusted total assets. Core capital is generally defined as common stockholders'
equity, including retained earnings. At December 31, 1999, the Association's
ratio of core capital to total adjusted assets was 9.20%.
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, 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.
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, 1999, the Palm River investment was 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 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, because of continuing delays by the OTS,
the interest rate risk component has never been operative.
At December 31, 1999, the Association exceeded all of its regulatory
capital requirements, with tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios of
9.20%, 9.20%, and 17.84%, respectively. See Note 14 to the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in the Annual Report, attached hereto as Exhibit
13.
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
32
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, 1999, 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.
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, 1999, the
Association's average liquidity ratio was 12.2%.
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.
A savings institution must file an application for OTS approval of the
capital distribution if either (1) the total capital distributions for the
applicable calendar year exceed the sum of the institution's net income for that
year to date plus the institution's retained net income (which takes into
account capital distributions made) for the preceding two years, (2) the
institution would not be at least adequately capitalized following the
distribution, (3) the distribution would violate any applicable statute,
regulation, agreement or OTS-imposed condition, or (4) the institution is not
eligible for expedited treatment of its filings. If an application is not
required to be filed, savings institutions which are a subsidiary of a holding
33
company (as well as certain other institutions) must still file a notice with
the OTS at least 30 days before the Board of Directors declares a dividend or
approves a capital distribution.
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 was 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.
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 the Code or by meeting the
second prong of the QTL test set forth in 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. 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 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; and direct or indirect obligations of the FDIC. In
addition, small business loans, credit card loans, student loans and loans for
personal, family and household purposes are allowed to be included without
limitation as qualified investments. The following assets, among others, also
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, 1999, the qualified thrift
investments of the Association were approximately 74.2% 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
34
and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the FHLB. At December
31, 1999, the Association had $140.2 million of FHLB advances. See Note 9 to
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
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, 1999, the Association had $7.0
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 7.57%, 7.25% and 7.25% for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999,
1998, and 1997, respectively.
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, 1999, the Association was in
compliance with the 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.
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 11 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.
35
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
11 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
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 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, 1999. The aggregate net book value of the
Association's premises and equipment and real estate held for investment was
$24.9 million and $1.9 million at December 31, 1999, respectively. Real estate
held for investment represents a pro-rata portion of the Association's office
building located on Port St. Lucie Blvd. which is leased to tenants and a parcel
of land held for future sale located adjacent to the Association's Maplewood
office. For additional information regarding the Association's properties, see
Note 6 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual
Report. 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 $2.9 million at
December 31, 1999 which is included in the aggregate net book value of the
Association's premises and equipment set forth above.
