See accompanying notes 6 PNB FINANCIAL GROUP Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 1998 (unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation --------------------- The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PNB Financial Group (the "Bank Holding Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific National Bank (the "Bank"), (collectively, the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of Management, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at September 30, 1998, and the consolidated statements of income, and comprehensive income, for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997 and consolidated statements of cash flow for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. Results for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim period, or for the year as a whole. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with the Company's annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with such statements. 2. Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows ------------------------------------ For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company defines cash and cash equivalents as cash on hand, cash due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold. 3. Shareholder's Equity -------------------- The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares, no par value, preferred stock. No shares of preferred stock have been issued. On April 15, 1998, the Company declares a 15% stock dividend. As a result of the dividend, an additional 344,838 common shares were issued totaling $7,414,000. During the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, 169,615 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $3.65 per share were exercised. In connection with the exercise, the Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $1.3 million which was recorded directly to common stock. 4. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards - Derivative Instruments and --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hedging Activities ------------------ In June 1998, the financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The primary purpose of Statement No. 133 is to recongnize the fair value of derivative instruments on the face of financial statements. The Statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Initial application is to be at the beginning of an entity's fiscal quarter. Earlier application is encouraged, but only at the beginning of any fiscal quarter that occurs prior to the effective date. The Statement must be applied on January 1, 2000. Upon adoption, Statement No. 133 requires that an entity recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a foreign-currency-denominated 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations September 30, 1998 forecasted transaction. Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Gains and losses on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized in earnings in the period of change. The Company has not determined the effect, if any, the adoption will have on the Company's financial statements. 5. Significant Event - Merger with Western Bancorp ----------------------------------------------- On October 6, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to merge with Western Bancorp. Shareholders of the Company will receive one share of Western Bancorp stock for each outstanding share of the Company in what is expected to qualify as a tax free exchange. The acquisition is expected to qualify for pooling-of-interest accounting and close during the fourth quarter of 1998 or the first quarter of 1999. In connection with the definitive agreement the Company entered into a stock option agreement with Western Bancorp to increase the likelihood that the merger will be completed and discourage offers by third parties to acquire the Company prior to the merger. Pusuant to the stock option agreement the Company granted to Western Bancorp an option, exercisable under certain limited and specifically defined circumstances, to purchase up to 553,166 authorized but unissued shares of the Company common stock for a purchase price per share of $29.625. The number of shares and the purchase price are adjustable under certain circumstances, but Western may not acquire more than 19.9% of the Company's shares of common stock pursuant to this agreement. 8 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations September 30, 1998 Item 2. - ------- CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This report contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which represent the Company's expectations or beliefs including, but not limited to, statements regarding the growth of the Company, the future profitability of the Company, the sufficiency of the Company's liquidity and capital and the Company's assessment of it's Year 2000 issues. For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate" or "continue" or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, including those described below. Summary - ------- The Company reported net income of $5,536,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to a net income of $3,329,000 for the same period in 1997. The Company's diluted earnings per common share was $1.93 for the first three quarters of 1998 a 57% increase over its diluted earnings per common share of $1.23 in the same period of 1997. The earnings per share for 1997 has been adjusted for the 15% stock dividend recorded on April 15, 1998. The Company's annualized return on average assets was 3.0% for the first nine months of 1998 compared to 2.3% for the same period in 1997 and its annualized return on average stockholders equity was 26.1% for the first nine months of 1998 compared to 22.3% in 1997. The increase in earnings was primarily a result of an increase in the net interest margin of the Company along with an increase in earnings from the Bank's residential mortgage loan department. The increase in the net interest income was a result of increases in commercial loans, and residential mortgage loans held for sale. In addition, the Company reduced its nonperforming assets from $2.4 million or 1.0% of total assets as of September 30, 1997 to $1.3 million or .5% of total assets as of September 30, 1998. The increase in profits from the residential mortgage loan department was due to a 41% increase in the volume of mortgage loans funded during the nine month periods presented. The Company funded a record $1,117 million of mortgage loans in the first three quarters of 1998, compared to $792 million in the same period in 1997. As of September 30, 1998, the Company had total assets of $275 million, total loans of $137.1 million, and total deposits of $215.5 million, as compared to total assets of $242.9 million, total loans of $118.2 million, and total deposits of $211.1 million as of December 31, 1997. Average assets for the first three quarters of 1998 were $247 million as compared to average assets of $196.7 million during the first three quarters of 1997. The increase in average assets of $50.3 million (25.6%) was primarily concentrated in an increase in mortgage loans held for sale of $30.1 million (49.8%) and an increase in portfolio loans of $17.2 million (16.3%). The increase in assets was funded with an increase in average deposits of $38 million (22.2%) and an increase in average short term borrowings of $3.6 million (149%). The increase in deposits was partially due to an increase in the utilization of brokered deposits. During the first nine months of 1998, the Bank's brokered deposits averaged $22.5 million compared to an average of $6.1 million during the first nine months 1997. The Bank utilizes brokered deposits to partially fund its mortgage loans held for sale. The following section sets forth the Company's condensed consolidated average balances of each principal category of assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. Average balances are based on daily averages for the Bank, and monthly averages for the Bank Holding Company, since the Bank Holding Company does not maintain daily average information. Management believes that the difference between monthly and daily average data (where monthly data has been used) is not significant. 9 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations September 30, 1998

10 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations September 30, 1998 Capital Resources - ----------------- The federally-mandated minimum capital requirements and the actual capitalization of the Company and the Bank as of September 30, 1998 are set forth below. CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AS OF September 30, 1998
PNB Pacific Regulatory Financial National Requirements Group Bank ------------- ---------- --------- Leverage Capital Ratio 4.0% 12.3% 10.2% Risk Based Capital: Tier 1 Capital 4.0% 16.7% 13.8% Total Capital 8.0% 17.8% 14.9%
Liquidity - --------- Liquidity, as it relates to the Bank Holding Company, represents the ability to obtain funds to support its investment activities and operating needs. The Bank Holding Company's principal sources of funds are its cash balances, short-term loan portfolio, cash dividends from its subsidiary bank, as well as its ability to raise capital by selling additional shares of common stock. As of September 30, 1998, the Bank Holding Company has cash balances of approximately $1,528,000. These liquid assets, along with cash generated from its loan portfolio should support its 1998 and 1999 operating requirements, including all of the Company's merger related expenses. Liquidity, as it relates to banking, represents the ability to obtain funds to meet loan commitments and to satisfy demand for deposit withdrawals. The principal sources of funds that provide liquidity to the Bank are its cash balances, federal funds sold, securities available for sale and a portion of mortgage loans held for sale. The Bank's portfolio loan-to-deposit ratio (excluding brokered deposits) at September 30, 1998 was 68.4% as compared to 59.5% at September 30, 1997 and 59% as of December 31, 1997. The increase in the Company's loan to deposit ratio was primarily due to an increase of 20.8% in portfolio loans from September 30, 1997 to September 30, 1998. The Bank's residential mortgage division utilizes the Bank's funding sources to fund its mortgage loans held for sale. Management can slow down or speed up the shipping and sale of these loans, and manages the balance of the mortgage loans held for sale to match its funds available. In this way, management maximizes the yield on its liquid assets. Due to the fluctuations in funding and sale of mortgage loans, along with changes in the deposit balances of the Bank, the matching of liquid assets and mortgage loans held for sale is not always achieved. At certain times during the year, the Bank utilizes its back up borrowing relationships along with brokered deposits, to help fund the mortgage loans held for sale. These back up sources include unsecured lines of credit with other banks, a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank and borrowings against the Bank's securities available for sale. During the first three quarters of 1998, the average balance of short term borrowings and brokered deposits was $28.5 million compared to $8.5 million during the first three quarters of 1997. 11 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations September 30, 1998 A large portion of the Bank's deposits consist of deposits maintained by escrow companies and, to a lesser degree, title insurance companies. At September 30, 1998, escrow and title insurance companies' deposits totaled approximately $57.1 million or 28.5% of total nonbrokered deposits. This compared to escrow and title insurance deposits of approximately $40.0 million or 20.2% and $45.4 million or 22.9% of total nonbrokered deposits as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The increase in these deposits is primarily due to the strong real estate market in Southern California. The market among banks in Southern California for these types of deposits is very competitive. The Bank believes that at a minimum, it will maintain its historic level of escrow and title deposits although a significant reduction below the historical levels could have material impact on the Bank's liquidity and cost of funds. Market and Interest Rate Risk - ----------------------------- Market risk arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Company does not engage in trading of financial instruments, nor does it have exchange rate risk. The Bank has risk management policies to monitor and limit exposure to market risk arising due to changes in interest rates and commodity prices. Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, which reflect changes in market prices and rates, can be found in Note 11 of the Company's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company uses asset liability management to control the overall interest rate risk exposure of its balance sheet. The Company's interest rate sensitivity is measured by dividing the Company's rate sensitive assets by its rate sensitive liabilities. The interest rate sensitivity ratio ("GAP") indicates what effect a change in interest rates would have on the net interest margin of a financial institution. Generally, in a positive GAP environment, an increase in interest rates would increase the net interest margin, while a decrease in interest rates would have a negative impact on the net interest margin.

In order to reduce the impact of a decrease in interest rates on its net interest margin, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement. The interest rate swap agreement effectively transfers variable rate assets to fixed rate assets. The agreement is for a total notional principal amount of $20 million and provides that the Company pay a variable interest rate of prime on the notional amount with the counterparty paying the Company a fixed rate of 9.11%. The agreement terminates on April 3, 2000. The unrealized gain on this swap as of September 30, 1998 is approximately $470,000. As the GAP analysis demonstrates, the Company is in a positive one year gap position of 1.07. The estimated effect on the Company's net interest income for a 10% decrease in the prime interest rate (82.5 basis points) over a one-year period would be a decrease of approximately $350,000. Similarly, if there was a 10% increase in the prime interest rate over a one-year period, the Company's net interest income would be enhanced by $350,000. Following the Federal Reserve Board action to reduce the targeted Federal Funds interest rate, the U.S. prime interest rate was reduced from 8.5% to 8.25% on September 30, 1998, and from 8.25% to 8.0% on October 16, 1998. These reductions and any further reductions in the prime interest rate should reduce the Banks net interest margin over the next year. The Bank's policy is 13 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations September 30, 1998 to limit the change in the Bank's net interest margin to plus or minus 1.25% of the Bank's capital based on a 50 basis point immediate change in the prime rate. While the gap analysis is a useful asset/liability management tool, it does not fully assess interest rate risk. Gap analysis does not address the effects of customer options (such as early withdrawal of time deposits and options to prepay loans) and the Bank strategies, (such as delaying increases in interest paid on interest bearing deposit accounts) on the Company's net interest income. It also estimates the relationship between movements in the prime interest rate and the movement in other asset and liability interest rates used in the gap model. Therefore, a gap analysis is only one tool with which to analyze interest rate risk and must be reviewed in conjunction with other information and in conjunction with the likely changes in the yield curve. In addition, the Bank has available for sale securities recorded at their fair market value of $6,093,000 as of September 30, 1998. The value of these securities is subject to fluctuations based upon the current interest rate yield. A 10% change in short-term interest rates should not have a material impact on the market value of the Banks available for sale securities. The Bank also has interest rate risk associated with the lending activity of the Bank's residential mortgage loan department. Unfunded rate-locked loans, together with the portion of mortgage loans held for sale that are not allocated to an existing purchase commitment, create interest rate exposure. The Bank monitors this exposure daily and limits the potential exposure by the purchase of mandatory forward commitments to sell whole loans. Management estimates the amount of unfunded rate-locked loans that will actually fund and purchases mandatory forward commitments based upon this estimate and based upon the general interest rate environment. Management does not speculate on interest rate movement and uses mandatory forward commitments purely as a hedge against interest rate swings which could effect the value of its unfunded pipeline of rate-locked loans and unallocated loans held for sale. The estimates which management uses can differ from actual loan fundings and, therefore, interest rate risk does exist. The Bank does not hedge against interest rate risk on its subprime residential mortgage loan volume. A 10% change in mortgage interest rates should not have a material impact on the market value of these loans. As of September 30, 1998, the Bank had $3.8 million of rate-locked unfunded sub- prime and closed sub-prime loans. As of September 30, 1998, the Bank had $74.5 million of mandatory forward commitments to sell whole loans. This represented 85.3% coverage of the estimated rate-locked loans which will fund and unallocated mortgage loans held for sale. The Bank's policy is to limit the change in the economic value of the mandatory forward commitments together with the rate-locked loans and unallocated loans held for sale to plus or minus 2% of the Bank's capital based on a 50 basis point immediate change in residential mortgage interest rates. As of September 30, 1998, the Bank will incur a decrease in the economic value of its residential mortgage on and off balance sheet assets of approximately $256,000 for an immediate increase of 50 basis points in residential mortgage interest rates, while the economic value would increase approximately $256,000 for an immediate decrease of 50 basis points. 14 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations September 30, 1998 Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997 ----------------------------------------------- Total interest and loan fee income - ---------------------------------- Total interest and loan fee income increased $3,190,000 (27%) between the periods presented primarily due to the significant increase in the average balance of mortgage loans held for sale and, to a lesser degree, its' portfolio loans. The increase in the average balance of mortgage loans held for sale is due to the increased activity in the Bank's residential mortgage loan department. The increase in the Bank's portfolio loans was due to the Bank's continual marketing effort along with a strong economic environment in the Bank's primary lending area. Over the periods presented, the Bank also experienced an increase in the yield on its portfolio loans and a decrease in the yield on its mortgage loans held for sale. The increase in the yield on portfolio loans was primarily due to the reduction in nonperforming loans. The decrease in the yield on mortgage loans held for sale is due to the lower long term interest rate environment which, in part, has fueled the increase in mortgage loan volume. The table below sets forth the Company's rate and volume analysis for interest-earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
Change in interest income due to: Volume Rate Total ------------ ---------- ----------- Loans $1,229,000 $ 333,000 $1,562,000 Mortgage loans held for sale 1,717,000 (190,000) 1,527,000 Investment securities 25,000 19,000 44,000 Federal funds sold 82,000 6,000 88,000 ---------- --------- ---------- Total $3,053,000 $ 168,000 $3,221,000 ========== ========= ---------- Change in loan fees (31,000) ---------- Total change in interest and loan fee income $3,190,000 ==========
Total interest expense - ---------------------- Total interest expense increased $1,196,000 (41%) between the periods presented primarily due to an increase in the volume of time deposits, interest bearing demand deposits, and short term borrowings. Primarily all of the increased volume of time deposits is a result of the increased utilization of brokered deposits. The increased volume of short-term borrowings and brokered deposits were used to fund the growth of mortgage loans held for sale. For the first nine months of 1998, the average cost of brokered deposits was 36 basis points above the average cost of the Bank's time deposits. The following table sets forth the Company's rate and volume analysis for interest-bearing liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding period ended September 30, 1997. 15 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations September 30, 1998

Allowance for loan losses - ------------------------- An analysis of the allowance for loan losses is summarized as follows:
Nine Months Ended September 30 ------------------------------ 1998 1997 ---------- ---------- Balance at beginning of period $1,558,000 $1,812,000 ---------- ---------- Charge-offs (196,000) (480,000) Recoveries 124,000 308,000 ---------- ---------- Net charge-offs (72,000) (172,000) ---------- ---------- Contribution to allowance for loan losses 575,000 765,000 ---------- ---------- Balance at end of period $2,061,000 $2,405,000 ========== ========== Allowance as a percentage of total loans 1.5% 2.1%
16 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations September 30, 1998 The following table sets forth the total amount of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more, troubled debt restructurings, classified loans and other real estate owned as of September 30, 1998 and 1997 as well as December 31, 1997.
Sept. 30, 1998 Dec. 31, 1997 Sept. 30, 1997 -------------- ------------- -------------- Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis $ 514,000 $1,237,000 $1,836,000 Accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more 430,000 160,000 90,000 Total classified loans 4,078,000 5,433,000 6,094,000 Other real estate owned 759,000 476,000 563,000 Troubled debt restructurings 1,044,000 4,102,000 4,041,000
The Company's contribution to the provision for loan losses was $575,000 for the first nine months of 1998 compared to $765,000 during the same period in 1997. The decreased provision is a result of the reduction of nonaccrual and classified loans between the periods presented along with a strong southern California economy. The loan loss reserve as a percentage of loans decreased from 2.1% as of September 30, 1997 to 1.5% as of September 30, 1998. This decrease is due to the increase in portfolio loans along with the reduction of a specific reserve allocated to one loan that was written off in the fourth quarter of 1997. The allowance is a result of Management's analysis of the estimated inherent losses in the Bank's loan portfolio. This analysis takes into consideration the level and trend of loan losses, loan delinquencies, classified loan volumes and Management's analysis of current market conditions. Other Income - ------------ Other income increased $6,022,000 (51%) between the periods presented. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue generated from the Bank's residential mortgage operation. During the first nine months of 1998, gross revenue from the mortgage operation was $16,627,000 compared to $10,437,000 in the corresponding period in 1997. The increase in the mortgage divisions gross revenue resulted in the division posting a pretax income, before administration allocation, of $4,504,000 during the first three quarters of 1998, compared to $2,961,000 during the same period in 1997. The increase in net income of this department is primarily due to the higher volume of loans funded and sold. The increase in loan volume was attributed to the lower mortgage interest rate environment which has fueled an increase in mortgage loan refinancings. During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, 49% of the mortgage loan volume was from refinancings compared to 25% in the same period in 1997. When the low interest rate environment changes, the mortgage loan volume might significantly decrease. This could have a material impact on the profitability of this department. To reduce this possible impact, the Bank in conjunction with Alta Residential Mortgage Trust ("Alta"), has developed adjustable rate mortgage loans which the Bank is offering to its customers for sale to Alta. It is anticipated that this product could be the choice of preference to consumers when the mortgage loan fixed interest rates environment materially increases. Historically, the Bank has not secured an investor willing to purchase these adjustable rate types of loans and therefore has not offered them. 17 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations September 30, 1998 The gain on the sales of SBA loans declined $103,000 (24.8%) between the periods presented. During the second quarter of 1998, management changed its policy with regard to the sale of the guaranteed portion of the SBA loans which it generates. Rather than sell the guaranteed portion of the SBA loan, as has been its practice, the Bank is looking to portfolio the guaranteed portion. This change will increase the Bank's balance sheet and the long term profitability of the Bank. By holding these loans, the Bank will earn the interest spread between the interest earned on the loan and the Bank's cost of funds. If the loan pays off before its expected life, the Bank could lose some of the benefit of holding the loan. Therefore, in order to maximize the profit of the Bank and to reduce its risk from loan prepayments, the Bank may, from time to time, decide to sell some of its SBA loans. As of September 30, 1998, the Bank has approximately $4.7 million of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans which could be sold. Other Expenses - -------------- Other expenses increased $4,333,000 (30.3%) between the periods presented. The Company's other expenses decreased $301,000 (4.4%) while the Bank's residential mortgage division's expenses increased $4,634,000 (62.1%). The increase in the mortgage division's expenses was due to the increased level of activity and was substantially associated with the increase in salaries, employee benefits, and commissions and reserves for residential mortgage loan losses. The decrease in the Company's other expenses of $301,000 was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $284,000 (8.7%), REO expenses of $329,000 (71.4%) and occupancy expenses of $140,000 (13.4%). Salaries, employee benefits, and occupancy expenses were reduced primarily as a result of the consolidation of the Irvine Spectrum branch into the Bank's Newport Beach and Orange branches. The reduction of REO expenses is a direct result of the reduction of REO properties. These decreases were partially offset with increases in other deposit expenses of $291,000 (29.3%), which was attributable to the increase in escrow and title insurance deposit balances. Provision for Income Taxes - -------------------------- The Company recognized a provision for income tax of $4,007,000 during the first three quarters of 1998 compared to a provision for income taxes of $2,341,000 during the same period in 1997. These tax provisions represent a full income tax provision of 42% of pretax income. Cash and Cash Equivalents - ------------------------- As of September 30, 1998, cash and cash equivalents increased $16.5 million from December 31, 1997 balances. The change was due to increases in short-term borrowings of $17.9 million, deposits of $4.4 million, and cash generated from operating activities of $12.5 million. These increases were partially offset with increases in portfolio loans of $20.2 million. 18 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations September 30, 1998 Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997 ----------------------------------------------- Total interest and loan fee income - ---------------------------------- Total interest and loan fee income increased $958,000 (22.4%) between the periods presented primarily due to the significant increase in the average balance of portfolio loans and mortgage loans held for sale. The table below sets forth the Company's rate and volume analysis for interest-earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1997.

Total interest expense - ---------------------- Total interest expense increased $302,000 (27.9%) between the periods presented primarily due to an increase in the volume of interest bearing demand and time deposits. The following table sets forth the Company's rate and volume analysis for interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding period ended September 30, 1997.

Other Income - ------------ Other income increased $2,155,000 (50%) between the periods presented. The increase was due to higher revenue generated from the Bank's residential mortgage operation. During the three months ended September 30, 1998, gross revenue from the mortgage division was $4,393,000 compared to $2,678,000 in the corresponding period in 1997. The increase in the mortgage division's gross revenue resulted in the division posting a pretax income, before administration allocation, of $1,693,000 during the three months ended September 30, 1998, compared to $1,086,000 during the same period in 1997. The increase in net income of this department is primarily due to the higher volume of loans funded. During the three months ended September 30, 1998, this department funded $380 million in loans, a 23.5% increase over the same period in 1997. The increase was primarily due to the higher number of loan refinancings due to the lower interest rate environment. Of the loans funded in the third quarter of 1998, 46% were loan refinancings, compared to 26% in the third quarter of 1997. Other Expenses - -------------- Other expenses increased $1,759,000 (36.3%) between the periods presented. The Company's other expenses increased $44,000 (2.6%) while the Bank's residential mortgage division's expenses increased $1,715,000 (64%). The increase in the mortgage division's expenses was due to the increased level of activity and was substantially associated with the increase in salaries, employee benefits, commissions and reserves for residential mortgage loan losses. The increase in the Company's other expenses of $44,000 was primarily due to increases in professional expenses which was partially offset with decreases in salaries, employee benefits and occupancy expenses. 20 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations September 30, 1998 Provision for Income Taxes - -------------------------- The Company recognized a provision for income taxes of 41.5% and 42% of pretax income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Year 2000 Risks and Preparedness - -------------------------------- Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year in a data field. These programs were designed and developed without considering the impact of the upcoming change in the century. If not corrected, many computer applications could fail or create erroneous results by or at the Year 2000 or possibly earlier. The Year 2000 issue affects the Company in that the Banking business is highly dependent on computer applications in a variety of ways, including the following: (i) The Bank relies on computer systems in almost all aspects of its business, including the processing of deposits, loans and other services and products offered to customers, the failure of which in connection with the Year 2000 could cause systemic disruptions and failures in the products and services offered by the Bank; (ii) other banks, clearing houses and vendors whose products and services are used by the Bank are at risk of systemic disruptions and potential failures in the event that such entities have not adequately addressed their Year 2000 issues ; (iii) the creditworthiness of the Bank's borrowers might be diminished by significant disruptions of their business as result of their own or others' failure to address adequately the Year 2000 issue; and (iv) federal banking agencies have issued interagency guidance on the business-wide risk posed to financial institutions by the Year 2000 problem pursuant to which the federal banking agencies may take supervisory action against financial institutions that fail to address appropriately Year 2000 issues prior to the Year 2000, including formal and informal enforcement actions, denial of applications to the federal banking agencies, civil money penalties and a reduction in the management component rating of the institution's composite rating. The Bank has initiated a program to ensure that the Bank's computer systems and applications will be in compliance with the Year 2000 issues. The primary focus of the Year 2000 plan is to ensure that the Bank's computer systems and networks operate unimpeded into the next century. The Bank's efforts to successfully meet the Year 2000 compliance issues are an extension of the federal banking agencies efforts to prevent Year 2000 disruptions. The Bank's goal is to complete the Year 2000 compliance project in a safe and sound manner which will provide the Bank, its shareholders, customers and regulators with an institution in full compliance of the Year 2000 century date change. The Bank's Year 2000 project program contains phase activities including Awareness, Assessment, Renovation, Validation and Implementation. These activities are monitored by the Bank's Year 2000 Compliance Committee which provides project update information to the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the Year 2000 plan, the Bank is 100% complete in its awareness and assessment phase and expects to be substantially complete with its renovation phase by December 31, 1998. The validation and implementation phases should be completed by June 30, 1999. To address the Company's Year 2000 issues, management expects to incur incremental cost of under $100,000, which will be expended during the Years 1998 and 1999. This cost estimate does not include costs associated with internal staff's time put into this project, which is considerable, nor does it include costs associated with the deployment of new software and hardware which is being installed for additional benefits including its Year 2000 compliance. 21 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations September 30, 1998 In addition, as part of the credit review process, the Bank has communicated with its major borrowers who in the estimation of management have the greatest risks of the Year 2000 issue. This effort has been made to ensure that such borrowers have taken appropriate steps to address their Year 2000 issues and will not be materially affected by any Year 2000 problems. The Bank is also preparing contingency plans to protect it in the event that it is unable to attain Year 2000 compliance in certain applications according to the Year 2000 program. The contingency plans being prepared are system and application specific and are intended to ensure that in the event that one or more of such systems and/or applications fails by or at the Year 2000, the Bank will be able to engage in its core business functions in spite of such failure. Although the Company believes that its Year 2000 program and other steps being taken are adequate to ensure that it will not be materially affected by the Year 2000 problem, there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 program and the Bank's other Year 2000 remedial and contingency plans will fully protect it from the risks associated with the Year 2000 problem. The analysis of, and preparations for, the Year 2000 and related problems necessarily rely on a variety of assumptions about future events, and there can be no assurance that management has accurately predicted such future events or that the remedial and contingency plans will adequately address such future events. In the event that the business of the Bank, vendors of the Bank or customers of the Bank are disrupted as a result of the Year 2000 problem, such disruption could have a material adverse effect on the Company. 22 Part II - Other Information --------------------------- September 30, 1998 Item 1.
