See accompanying notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. -6- ADVANCE FINANCIAL BANCORP NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements of Advance Financial Bancorp (the "Company"), includes its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Advance Financial Savings Bank (the "Bank") and the Bank's wholly-owned service corporation subsidiary, Advance Financial Service Corporation of West Virginia. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information that would be included in audited financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 or any other period. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements of and for the year ended June 30, 2003 and related notes which are included on the Form 10-KSB (file no. 0-21885). NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE There were no convertible securities that would affect the numerator in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share; therefore, net income as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Income will be used as the numerator. The following table sets forth the composition of the weighted-average common shares (denominator) used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computation. For the periods ended 2002, stock options had no dilutive effect on the denominator due to the fact they were not in the "money". Effective for shareholders of record as of November 10, 2003, the Company issued a three for two stock split. The stock split was done in the form of a stock dividend. The effects on EPS have been included for the comparative periods in the accompanying financial statements.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2003, comprehensive income totaled $489,207 and $1,020,827. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2002, comprehensive income totaled $302,156 and $967,111, respectively. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2003, net income included a reclassification of net unrealized gains of $344,065 and $466,816, respectively as a result of the sale of available for sale securities in November 2003. NOTE 5 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 132, Employers' Disclosures about Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit. This statement retains the disclosures required by FAS No. 132, which standardized the disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the extent practicable and requires additional information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets. Additional disclosures include information describing the types of plan assets, investment strategy, measurement date(s), plan obligations, cash flows, and components of net periodic benefit cost recognized during interim periods. This statement retains reduced disclosure requirements for nonpublic entities from FAS No. 132, and it includes reduced disclosure for certain of the new requirements. This statement is effective for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The interim disclosures required by this statement are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's disclosure requirements. -8- NOTE 5 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED) In April, 2003, the FASB issued FAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under FAS No. 133. The amendments set forth in FAS No. 149 improve financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. In particular, this statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative as discussed in FAS No. 133. In addition, it clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. FAS No.149 amends certain other existing pronouncements. Those changes will result in more consistent reporting of contracts that are derivatives in their entirety or that contain embedded derivatives that warrant separate accounting. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after September 30, 2003, except as stated below and for hedging relationships designated after September 30, 2003. The guidance should be applied prospectively. The provisions of this statement that relate to FAS No. 133 Implementation Issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to September 15, 2003, should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates. In addition, certain provisions relating to forward purchases or sales of when-issued securities or other securities that do not yet exist, should be applied to existing contracts as well as new contracts entered into after September 30, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In May 2003, the FASB issued FAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Such instruments may have been previously classified as equity. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after September 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's reported equity. In January, 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, in an effort to expand upon and strengthen existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company should include in its financial statements the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity. The objective of this interpretation is not to restrict the use of variable interest entities but to improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities. Until now, one company generally has included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. This interpretation changes that by requiring a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of this interpretation apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. The adoption of this interpretation has not and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In October, 2003, the FASB decided to defer to the fourth quarter from the third quarter the implementation date for Interpretation No. 46. This deferral only applies to variable interest entities that existed prior to February 1, 2003. -9- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. When used in this discussion, the words "believes", "anticipates", "contemplates", "expects", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include changes in interest rates, risks associated with the ability to control costs and expenses, and general economic conditions. The Company conducts no significant business or operations of its own other than holding all of the outstanding stock of the Advance Financial Savings Bank (the "Bank"). As a result, references to the Company generally refer to the Bank unless the context indicates otherwise. OVERVIEW -------- On October 21, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved a three for two (50%) stock split in the form of a stock dividend. The stock split is effective for holders of record as of November 10, 2003. After the stock split, the outstanding shares of the company increased 466,088 shares to 1,398,373. The earnings per share calculations for December 31, 2002 have been restated to reflect the stock split. During the three month period ended December 31, 2003, the Company sold approximately $11,765,000 in available for sale investment securities. The amounts consisted of $2 million in commercial bonds, $5.8 million in long term municipal bonds and $3 million in FHLB callable bonds. The Company realized a gain on the sales of approximately $446,000 that is included in the Statement of Income for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2003. COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND JUNE 30, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Company's total assets increased by approximately $938,000 to $322,838,791 at December 31, 2003, from $321,900,591 at June 30, 2003. Net loans increased by approximately $34,094,000. The increase in net loans was funded by a decrease in interest bearing deposits with other financial institutions of $10,074,000, sales and repayments of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities of $18,342,000 and a decrease in loans available for sale of $5,379,000. Short-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank "FHLB" increased $6,800,000 during the period to replace the loss of approximately $6,442,000 in deposits. Interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions decreased $10,074,000 to $3,089,777 at December 31, 2003 from $13,163,753 at June 30, 2003. The decrease in funds was used to fund the Company's increased loan demand. Investment securities decreased $12,377,000 to $14,103,966 at December 31, 2003 from $26,481,176 at June 30, 2003. This decrease was due primarily to the sale of Available for Sale Securities of $11,765,000. The company realized a net gain on the sales of approximately $446,000. The proceeds of the sales were used to fund the Company's loan demand. Mortgage-backed securities decreased $5,965,000 to $21,657,710 at December 31, 2003 from $27,622,430 at June 30, 2003. The decrease was due to accelerated principal repayments on higher yielding securities due to the low interest rate environment during the period ended December 31, 2003. Loans held for sale decreased $5,379,000 to $309,000 at December 31, 2003 from $5,687,708 at June 30, 2003. The decrease is indicative to an increase in interest rates on fixed rate 1-4 family mortgages and the related decrease in customer demand for these mortgages. Loans receivable, net increased $34,094,000 to $263,333,201 at December 31, 2003 from $229,239,547 at June 30, 2003. The increase in net loans is spread over the Company's entire portfolio. One-four family mortgages increased $12,881,000 which includes approximately $5,239,000 in fixed rate loans that were added to the Bank's portfolio during the period and $7,642,000 in adjustable rate loans as these products became attractive as a result the Bank's competitive pricing, and as a result of the favorable interest rate changes during the period. Nonresidential mortgages increased approximately $1,525,000 primarily as a result of a municipal land loan originated during the period. The increase in construction loans for the period was $3,997,000. This increase was split $2,758,000 and $1,240,000 for 1-4 family and nonresidential mortgages, respectively. The increase in construction loans is due to the demand created by the anticipation of near future interest rate increases in mortgage products. Dealer Floor Plan loans have increased $4,193,000 and indirect automobile loans have increased $11,318,000 during the period primarily as a result of new relationships the Company has developed over the last nine months with the creation of an Indirect Loan Department within the Business Division of the Bank. The success of the department is indicated by the substantial growth in both floor plan and indirect auto lending. Future growth in these areas will depend upon the local economy, competition from other institutions and the manufacturers' incentive programs, as well as, the Company's evaluation of the risk level involved. -10- FHLB stock increased $665,800 to $2,345,200 at December 31, 2003 from $1,679,400,at June 30, 2003. The increase is primarily due to the required purchases of stock as a result of the corresponding increase in outstanding advances. During the six month period ended December 31, 2003, the Company increased its advance total by $6,800,000. Deposits decreased $6,442,000 to $266,386,970 at December 31, 2003 from $272,828,932 at June 30, 2003. The decrease is primarily in money market demand deposits and Jumbo and "special term" term certificate of deposit products. Money market accounts with balances in excess of $10,000 have decreased $2,421,000 during the period as customers continue to search for higher yields on their investments in equities or other investment vehicles. The money market accounts had been utilized by some customers as a "parking" mechanism as they wait for an increase in the interest rate cycle and stability in the equity markets. Jumbo and "special term" certificates of deposit decreased $5,368,000 during the period due to similar customer sentiments. These types of certificates are generally the highest cost of funds of the Company, and as such, the need for this deposit funding is evaluated based upon the availability of alternative funding sources and other factors. At this time, the Company's strategy is to not offer the higher yields on these certificates, but instead to borrow on a short-term basis from the FHLB at a significantly reduced rate. This funding approach could change in future periods depending upon the local demand for loans, the local deposit market or other factors such as management's consideration of interest rate risk. Advances from the FHLB increased $6,800,000 to $26,800,000 at December 31, 2003 from $20,000,000 at June 30, 2003. This increase is currently applied to the Bank's Open Repo Line of Credit with the FHLB. For the period ended December 31, 2003, the average rate paid on the line was 1.28%. It is the Company's intent to continue to use the short term advances offered by the FHLB until such time as local market conditions, the interest rate market and other management factors dictate. Stockholders' equity increased approximately $865,000 to $20,953,344 at December 31, 2003 from $20,087,953 at June 30, 2003. This increase was the result of net income of $1,488,000 for the period and the recognition of shares in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Restricted Stock Plan of $112,000. These increases were offset by a decrease in the net unrealized gain on securities of $467,000 and by the payment of cash dividends of $268,000. COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 -------------------------- Net interest income increased $733,000 or 40.35%, to $2,548,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2003 from $1,815,000 for the comparable period ended 2002. The increase in net interest income resulted primarily from an increase in the average volume of the underlying principal balances in interest earning assets and liabilities. The net interest spread for the three months ended December 31, 2003 increased to 3.17% from 3.07% for the comparable period ended 2002. The 10 basis point increase in the net interest rate spread for the current three month period was primarily due to a 76 basis point decline in average cost of funds which was offset by a 66 basis point decline in average yields on assets. See "Average Balance Sheet" for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Net interest income increased $1,389,000 or 38.06%, to $5,038,000 for the six-months December 31, 2003 from $3,649,000 for the comparable period ended 2002. The increase in net interest income resulted primarily from an increase in the average volume of the underlying principal balances in interest earning assets and liabilities. The net interest spread for the six months ended December 31, 2003 increased to 3.15% from 3.14% for the comparable period ended 2002. The basis point increase in the net interest rate spread for the current six month period was primarily the result of a 83 basis point decline in cost of funds which was offset by a 82 basis point decline in average yields on assets. See "Average Balance Sheet" for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. The provision for loan losses increased $246,000 to $350,850 for the three months ended December 31, 2003 from $105,000 for the comparable period ended 2002. The provision increased $518,000 to $671,850 for the six months ended December 31, 2003 from $154,200 for the comparable period ended 2002. The increase in the provision for loan losses was precipitated by an increase in loan volume. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management reviews and evaluates on a quarterly basis the potential risk in the loan portfolio. This evaluation process is documented by management and approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The evaluation is performed by senior members of management with years of lending and review experience. Management evaluates homogenous consumer-oriented loans, such as 1-4 family mortgage loans and retail consumer loans, based upon all or a combination of delinquencies, loan concentrations and charge-off experience. Management supplements this analysis by reviewing the local economy, trends affecting local industry and business development and other known factors which may impact future credit losses. Nonhomogenous loans, generally defined as commercial business and real estate loans, are selected by management to be reviewed on a quarterly basis upon the combination of delinquencies, concentrations and other known factors that may effect the local economy and more specifically the individual businesses. -11- -During this evaluation, the individual loans are evaluated quarterly by senior members of management for impairment as prescribed under SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan". Impairment losses are assumed when, based upon current information, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured by a loan's observable market value, the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral. This data on impairment is combined with the other data used for homogenous loans and is used by the classified asset committee in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that represents management's best estimates of losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover losses which, may be realized in the future and that additional provision for loan losses will not be required. See "Risk Elements". Noninterest income increased $586,000 or 195.09%, to $887,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2003 from $301,000 for the comparable period ended 2002. Noninterest income increased $689,000 or 97.76% to $1,393,000 for the six-months ended December 31, 2003 from $704,000 for the comparable period ended 2002. The three and six month periods include gains on the sales of investment securities of approximately $446,000 that was previously discussed. Also, for the three and six month periods of 2003, miscellaneous fees and fees on deposit accounts increased by $75,000 and $128,000, respectively, as a result of an increase in core customers and related activity. For the three and six month periods of 2003, gains on sales of fixed rate loans and income from loan servicing activity increased by $46,000 and $99,000, respectively, as a result of the customer demand for fixed rate 1-4 family mortgage loans during the period. Noninterest expense increased $386,000 or 27.30%, to $1,801,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2003, from $1,415,000 for the comparable 2002 period. Noninterest expense increased $724,000 or 26.14%, to $3,495,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2003 from $2,770,000 for the comparable period ended 2002. For the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2003, compensation and employee benefits increased $192,000 and $323,000, respectively. The increase in compensation and employee benefits for the three and six month period ended December 31, 2003 is due in part to the acquisition in February 2003 of a branch and the de novo branch opening in September 2003. The new branches account for $42,000 and $134,000 of the increase for the three and six month periods, respectively. Occupancy and equipment, professional fees, marketing and data processing expenses have increased by $44,000 and $145,000 for the three and six-month period ended December 31, 2003. Such increases are primarily due to the operation of the new branches acquired and opened since September 2002. For the three and six month period ended December 31, 2003, other expenses have increased $106,000 and $167,000, respectively. The increase in other expense is due to increases in supplies and communications of $11,000 and $24,000, in fees paid for ATM and consumer card usage of $13,000 and $22,000 and in fees paid to the Federal Reserve for item processing of $6,000 and $13,000, respectively. Each of these increases are primarily related to customer activity due to the increase in the Company's core customers created primarily by the branch purchases and the de novo branch opening. Also, other expense increased for the three and six-month period ended December 31 2003 due to an increase in state franchise tax expense as a result of the branch acquisitions in Ohio during February 2003 of $18,000 and $35,000 respectively. Costs relating to other real estate and repossessed assets increased for the three and six-month period ended December 31, 2003 by $7,000 and $18,000, respectively. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ------------------------------- LIQUIDITY --------- Liquidity management for the Company is measured and monitored on both a short and long-term basis, thereby allowing management to better understand and react to emerging balance sheet trends. After assessing actual and projected cash flow needs, management seeks to obtain funding at the most economical cost to the Company. Both short and long-term liquidity needs are addressed by maturities and sales of investment securities, loan payments and maturities, and liquidating overnight deposit accounts. The use of these resources, in conjunction with access to credit, provide the core ingredients to meet depositor, borrower, and creditor needs. The Company's liquid assets consist of cash and cash equivalents and investment and mortgage-backed securities classified as available for sale. The level of these assets is dependent on the Company's operating, investing, and financing activities during any given period. At December 31, 2003, liquid assets totalled $12.4 million or 3.8% of total assets. Management believes that the liquidity needs of the Company are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional funding sources, FHLB advances, and the portion of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year. These sources of funds will enable the Company to meet cash obligations and off-balance sheet commitments as they come due. -12- Operating activities provided net cash of $6.9 million and $500,000 thousand for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and were generated principally from net income and net sales of fixed rate 1-4 family mortgages. Investing activities used $17.6 million and $23.2 million in funds during the six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These cash usages primarily consisted of loan originations of $34.8 million and $16.7 million for 2003 and 2002, respectively. Offsetting these usages for the period ended December 31, 2003 were proceeds from sales, repayments and maturities of investment and mortgage-backed securities of $18.0 million. Financing activities consist of the solicitation and repayment of customer deposits and borrowings. During the six months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, net cash provided by financing activities was $200,000 and $18.4 million, respectively. For the period ended 2003, short term borrowings increased in a similar amount to the decrease in deposits. For 2003, deposits increased $11.4 million and the Company received $7.2 million as part of a Trust Preferred Offering. Liquidity may be adversely affected by unexpected deposit outflows, excessive interest rates paid by competitors, and similar matters. Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines the level desirable based in part on the bank's commitment to make loans, as well as management's assessment of the Company's ability to generate funds. The Company currently has approximately $145 million in unused borrowing capacity at the FHLB of Pittsburgh. As a result of this unused borrowing capacity, the Company anticipates it will have sufficient liquidity available to meet estimated short-term and long-term funding needs. CAPITAL ------- Management monitors both the Company's equity capital ratio and the Bank's total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leveraged capital ratios in order to assess compliance with regulatory guidelines. At December 31, 2003, both the Company and the Bank exceeded the minimum capital requirements, including risk-based and leveraged capital ratios. The Company's equity capital ratio and the Bank's total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios are 4.64% and 10.61%, 9.90% and 6.60%, respectively, at December 31, 2003. -13- RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS -------------------- The table below sets forth certain information regarding changes in interest income and interest expense of the Company for the periods indicated. For each category of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume and (ii) changes in rate.

A loan is classified as nonaccrual when, in the opinion of management, there are serious doubts about collectibility of interest and principal. At the time the accrual of interest is discontinued, future income is recognized only when cash is received. Renegotiated loans are those loans which terms have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of principal or interest as a result of the deterioration of the borrower. December 31, June 30, 2003 2003 ------ ------ Loans on a nonaccrual basis $ 583 $1,398 Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing 1,040 1,681 ------ ------ Total nonperforming loans 1,623 3,079 ------ ------ Other real estate 752 802 Repossessed assets 39 28 ------ ------ Total nonperforming assets $2,414 $3,909 ------ ------ Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total net loans .62% 1.34% ====== ====== Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets .75% 1.21% ====== ====== Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans 92.13% 35.60% ====== ====== Nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2003, consisted of $316,484 in one-to-four family residential mortgages and $266,498 in non-residential real estate mortgages. The Company considers a loan impaired when it is probable that the borrower will not repay the loan according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management has determined that first mortgage loans on one-to-four family properties and all consumer loans represent large groups of smaller-balance, homogenous loans that are to be collectively evaluated. Management considers an insignificant delay, which is defined as less than 90 days by the Company, will not cause a loan to be classified as impaired. A loan is not impaired during the period of delay in payment if the Company expects to collect all amounts due including interest accrued at the contractual interest rate during the period of delay. All loans identified as impaired are evaluated independently by management. The Company estimates credit losses on impaired loans through the allowance for loan losses by evaluating the recorded investment in the impaired loan to the estimated present value of the underlying collateral or the present value of expected cash flows. As of December, 31, 2003, the total investment in impaired loans was $481,410, and such amount was subject to a specific allowance for loan losses of $37,174. The average investment in the impaired loans for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003 was $510,317. The interest income potential based upon the original terms of the contracts of these impaired loans was $20,720 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003. A total of $20,720 of interest income has been recognized for the six-month period ended December 31, 2003. -17- The allowance for loan losses is based upon estimates of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount actually observed in respect to the losses can vary significantly from the estimated amounts. Our methodology includes several features that are intended to reduce the differences between estimated and actual losses. The historical loss experience model that is used to established the loan loss factors for problem graded loans is designed to be self-correcting by taking into account our recent loss experience. Similarly, by basing the past graded loss factors on historical loss experience, the methodology is further designed to take our recent loss experience into account. In addition to historical and recent loss trends, our methodology incorporates the current volume and trend in delinquencies, as well as, a self-assessment of the status of the local economy. Our methodology requires the monitoring of the changing loan portfolio mix and the effect that the changing mix has on the trend in delinquencies, as well as, actually loss factors. The combination of the historical loss factors, recent loss experience, current trend in delinquencies, the local economic environment, and the assessment of the changing loan portfolio mix are used in conjunction with the internal loan grading system to adjust our allowance on a quarterly basis. Furthermore, our methodology includes our impaired loan assessment and permits adjustments to any loss factor used in determining the allowance in the event that, in management's judgement, significant conditions which effect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date are not reflected in the loss factors. By assessing the probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis, we are able to adjust specific and inherent loss estimates based upon recent information, as it becomes available.
