See Accompanying Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. 5 Yardville National Bancorp and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 (Unaudited) 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Financial Statement Presentation: The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenue and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation reserve of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses and other real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties. The consolidated financial data as of and for the three months ended March 31, 1999 includes, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation of such periods. The consolidated financial data for the interim periods presented is not necessarily indicative of the result of operations that might be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 1999. Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yardville National Bancorp (the "Holding Company") and its subsidiaries, Yardville Capital Trust (the "Trust") and The Yardville National Bank (the "Bank"), and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries, Yardville National Investment Corporation, Brendan Inc., Nancy Beth Inc., Jim Mary Inc., Yardville Real Estate Holding Co., Inc., YNB Financial Services, Inc., and YNB Realty Inc., (collectively, "YNB"). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Brendan Inc., Nancy Beth Inc. and Jim Mary Inc. are utilized for the control and disposal of other real estate properties. Yardville Real Estate Holding Co., Inc. is utilized to hold Bank branch properties. YNB Financial Services, Inc., provides alternative investment services and YNB Realty, Inc. a real estate investment trust, and is utilized to more effectively manage a portion of the Bank's real estate related loans. Allowance for Loan Losses For financial reporting purposes, the provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is determined by management and based upon a periodic review of the loan portfolio, past experience, the economy, and other factors that may affect a borrower's ability to repay the loan. This provision is based on management's estimates, and actual losses may vary from these 6 estimates. These estimates are reviewed and adjustments, as they become necessary, are reported in the periods in which they become known. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly in New Jersey. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses and the valuation of other real estate. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance or adjustments to the carrying value of other real estate based on their judgement about information available at the time of their examination. Company - Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Trust Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust Holding Solely Junior Subordinated Debentures of the Company (Trust Preferred Securities) On October 16, 1997, Yardville Capital Trust, a statutory business trust and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company, issued $11,500,000 of 9.25% Trust Preferred Securities to the public and $356,000 of 9.25% Common Securities to the Holding Company. Proceeds from the issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities were immediately used by the Trust to purchase $11,856,000 of 9.25% Subordinated Debentures maturing November 1, 2027 from the Holding Company. The Trust exists for the sole purpose of issuing Trust Preferred Securities and investing the proceeds into Subordinated Debentures of the Holding Company. These Subordinated Debentures constitute the sole assets of the Trust. 2. Earnings Per Share Weighted average shares for the basic net income per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 were 5,003,000 and 5,073,000 respectively. For the diluted net income per share computation, potential common stock of 27,000 and 44,000 are included for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 7 3.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan The Bank established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan and related trust ("ESOP") for eligible employees. The ESOP is a tax-qualified plan subject to the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Employees with twelve months of employment with the bank and who have worked at least 1,000 hours are eligible to participate. The ESOP borrowed $2,000,000 from an unaffiliated financial institution and purchased 155,340 common shares. Shares purchased by the ESOP are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid. All shares in the plan are accounted for under SOP 93-6. Compensation cost is recognized based on the fair value of the stock when it is committed to be released. The fair value of unearned shares at March 31, 1999 is $1,922,333. Compensation expense amounted to $88,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Unallocated shares are deducted from common shares outstanding for earnings per share purposes with shares which are committed to be released during the year added back into weighted average shares outstanding. 8 YARDVILLE NATIONAL BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations This financial review presents management's discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operation. It should be read in conjunction with the 1998 Annual Report to stockholders and Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 as well as with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes in this Form 10-Q. This Form 10-Q report contains express and implied statements relating to the future financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, performance, and business of YNB, which are considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include statements that relate to, among other things, profitability, liquidity, loan loss reserve adequacy, plans for growth, interest rate sensitivity, market risk, and year 2000 issues, and financial and other goals. Actual results may differ materially from those expected or implied as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, changes in economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations, continued levels of loan quality and origination volume, successful implementation of year 2000 technology changes by YNB, its vendors and suppliers, competitive product and pricing pressures within YNB's markets, continued relationships with major customers including sources for loans and deposits, personal and corporate customers' bankruptcies, legal and regulatory barriers and structure, inflation, and technological changes, as well as other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the filings of YNB with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Financial Condition On May 12, 1999 the Holding Company announced the pricing of 1,400,000 shares of its common stock in a underwritten secondary public offering. The common stock was offered to the public at a price of $12.00 per share and will generate gross proceeds of approximately $16.8 million. Assets Total consolidated assets at March 31, 1999 were $894,849,000 an increase of $137,183,000 or 18.1% compared to $757,666,000 at December 31, 1998. The growth in YNB's asset base, during the first three months of 1999, was primarily due to increases in loans (primarily commercial), available for sale securities, and investment securities. The increase in the loan portfolio was the product of an ongoing consistent strategy to improve the profitability of the organization through relationship banking. The pace of consolidation in YNB's market place continues at a rapid rate. Management anticipates continued loan opportunities due to this consolidation. YNB's asset base includes securities of approximately $191,800,000 purchased utilizing primarily repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank advances (Investment Growth Strategy). The Investment Growth Strategy at March 31, 1999 increased $49,600,000 or 34.9% from the reported total of $142,200,000 at December 31, 1998. The primary goals of the Investment Growth Strategy, improving return on equity and earnings per share continue to be achieved. 9 Cash and due from banks Cash and due from bank balances decreased $1,606,000 to $14,640,000 at March 31, 1999 when compared to the $16,246,000 balance at December 31, 1998. In April of 1998, YNB began a reserve requirement reduction program. This program allows the Bank to reduce the amount of demand and interest bearing demand balances subject to reserve requirements. Prior to starting the program, the Bank maintained non-interest bearing reserve balances at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia of between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000. With the implementation of the program, the Bank has been able to reduce to zero the amount of funds required to be maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, for reserve requirements. These funds are now available to be invested in earning assets. Federal funds sold At March 31, 1999 Federal funds sold totaled $13,810,000 compared to $280,000 at December 31, 1998. Average Federal funds sold for the first three months was $14,000,000 compared to $4,992,000 for the same period in 1998. The higher amount of Federal funds sold at March 31, 1999 was due to increased certificate of deposit (CD) balances raised to fund loan growth and effectively manage liquidity. Management remains focused on maintaining adequate liquidity to fund loan growth and to meet daily liquidity requirements. Securities The following tables present the amortized cost and market values of YNB's securities portfolios as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998.

10 Securities represented 32.5% of total assets at March 31, 1999 and 29.3% at December 31, 1998. Total securities increased $69,110,000 or 31.2% at March 31, 1999 to $290,798,000 compared to $221,688,000 at year-end 1998. The available for sale portfolio represents 71.9% of the total security holdings of YNB at March 31, 1999, compared to 83.7% at year-end 1998. The net unrealized loss on available for sale securities as of March 31, 1999 was $1,421,000, compared to a net unrealized loss of $436,000 at December 31, 1998. Net unrealized loss, net of tax effect, totaling $924,000 was reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Stockholders' Equity at March 31, 1999, compared to a net unrealized loss of $284,000 reported at December 31, 1998. The increase in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities is primarily due to the rise in interest rates from December 31, 1998 to March 31, 1999 and the increased size of the available for sale securities portfolio. Securities available for sale increased $23,500,000 or 12.7% at March 31, 1999 when compared to the December 31, 1998 balance of $185,577,000. The largest area of increase was in U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency bonds, which increased $26,832,000 and are the major factor for the increase in securities available for sale. The increase was primarily due to the purchase of U.S. Agency callable bonds associated with the Investment Growth Strategy and shorter-term callable bonds purchased to enhance liquidity. Offsetting the increase discussed above were paydowns on mortgage-backed securities, which decreased $4,803,000. The Investment Growth Strategy increased $49,599,000 over the year-end 1998 level. The growth was in callable bonds, which increased $55,190,000. Offsetting this increase were declines in fixed and floating rate mortgage-backed securities of $2,574,000 and $3,037,000, respectively. Investment securities increased $45,610,000 or 126.3% to $81,721,000 at March 31, 1999 from $36,111,000 at December 31, 1998. The increase was due to a $43,190,000 increase in U.S. agency callable bonds primarily related to the Investment Growth Strategy and a $3,462,000 increase in tax free municipal bonds. Offsetting these increases was a $1,042,000 reduction in mortgage-backed securities reflecting paydowns. Loans Total loans, net of unearned income, increased $52,606,000 or 10.7% at March 31, 1999 to $544,255,000 from $491,649,000 at December 31, 1998. YNB's loan portfolio represented 60.8% of total assets at March 31, 1999 compared to 64.9% at December 31, 1998. YNB's lending focus continues to be on commercial and industrial loans, and commercial real estate loans. The consolidation in YNB's market place, and management's philosophy of relationship banking are key factors in continued strong loan growth. Strong competition from both bank and nonbank competitors coupled with a falling prime rate of interest could result in comparatively lower yields on new and established lending relationships. In addition, borrowers' concerns over 11 the economy, real estate prices and interest rates could all be factors in future loan growth levels. Continued profitable loan growth is a key factor in meeting earnings growth goals.

The table above lists the loan growth by type for the period of December 31, 1998 to March 31, 1999. Commercial and industrial loans had the greatest growth increasing $26,364,000 in the period and accounting for 50.1% of the total increase in outstanding loans. Real estate - construction loans had the second greatest growth increasing $15,747,000 and accounted for 29.4% of the increase in total loans. All other loan types increased with the exception of Other Loans, which decreased $843,000. The strong loan growth recorded in the first quarter of 1999 was the result of the continuing opportunities available to YNB due to consolidation in the market place. While it is anticipated that loan growth will continue in 1999, management does not believe that future growth rates will be at the same level as seen in the first quarter. Liabilities The following table provides information concerning YNB' deposit base at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) 3/31/99 12/31/98 Change % Change - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-interest bearing demand deposits $ 74,350 $ 75,426 $ (1,076) (1.4%) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest bearing demand deposits 51,989 51,672 317 0.6 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Money market deposits 44,918 44,661 257 0.6 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Savings deposits 78,161 77,537 624 0.8 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or over 45,649 29,525 16,124 54.6 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other time deposits 308,598 240,822 67,776 28.1 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $603,665 $519,643 $ 84,022 16.2% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YNB's deposit base is the principal source of funds supporting interest-earning assets. Total deposits increased $84,022,000 or 16.2% to $603,665,000 at March 31, 1999 compared to $519,643,000 at December 31, 1998. Certificates of deposit were competitively priced throughout the first three months of 1999 to fund new loan growth and improve liquidity. Growth in YNB's deposit base in 1999 continued to be principally in higher costing certificates of deposit, which account for 99.8% of the increase in deposits. In March of 1998, YNB began 12 to market its certificates of deposit through a nationwide computer based service. This service allows YNB to have access to a wider market to raise needed funding. YNB has raised approximately $65,000,000 from this market with approximately $40,600,000 raised in the first quarter of 1999. Noninterest bearing demand deposits decreased $1,076,000 to $74,350,000 when compared to $75,426,000 at December 31, 1998. This reduction was due to the normal changes in balances. A more accurate reflection of noninterest deposits is comparing average balances. For the three months ended March 31, 1999 average noninterest bearing demand deposits were $71,506,000 an increase of $8,819,000 when compared to the average from the $62,687,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Modest growth was also reflected in the lower cost funding sources of interest bearing demand, money market deposits and savings deposits. However, lower cost deposit growth levels are not adequate to meet current or projected loan demand. This has resulted in an increased reliance on higher rate certificates of deposit to provide the required funding. As a result, certificates of deposit, the most expensive deposit-funding source available to YNB, increased to 58.7% of total deposits at March 31, 1999 from 52.0% at December 31, 1998. YNB continues to seek lower cost funding sources. One source is opening new branches to serve a wider market area. In April 1999, YNB opened its 11th branch located in Newtown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, this branch opens a new market for YNB. Bucks County, Pennsylvania is located directly across the Delaware River from Mercer County, New Jersey, where all of YNB's branches are currently located. There are also plans to open a branch in Burlington County, New Jersey which is located directly south of Mercer County. In addition, a third new branch is planned in 1999. This branch will be located in the YNB Corporate headquarters building. The headquarters building is to be located in Hamilton Township, Mercer County New Jersey. We expect that these new branches will improve YNB's ability to generate lower cost deposits and create additional lending opportunities. With the ongoing consolidation in YNB's market place additional opportunities for new branches in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey are possible. Borrowed Funds Borrowed funds totaled $229,838,000 at March 31, 1999 compared to $177,888,000 at December 31, 1998. Approximately $188,928,000 or 82.2% of borrowed funds at March 31, 1999 are related to the Investment Growth Strategy. The increase for the first three months of 1999 was $51,950,000 or 29.2%. The majority of the increase was in securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Federal Home Loan Bank advances that increased $30,807,000 and $19,995,000, respectively and was used to fund the purchase of investment growth strategy assets purchased during the quarter. Management continues to closely monitor the mix of funding used to support the Investment Growth Strategy. To reduce the overall interest rate risk profile of YNB and improve simulation results, YNB has shifted funding towards shorter term borrowing and away from callable funding. At March 31, 1999 $132,500,000 or 70.1% of the investment growth strategy funding was in callable funding compared to $76,500,000 or 81.2% at December 31, 1998. Securities sold under agreement to repurchase totaled $117,927,000 at March 31, 1999 compared to $87,120,000 at December 31, 1998. $61,500,000 or 52.2% of the repurchase agreements. 13 outstanding at March 31, 1999 were callable compared to $61,500,000 or 70.6% at December 31, 1998. Callable repurchase agreements have terms of five to ten years and call dates of one year. All of the growth recorded in repurchase agreements in the first quarter were in repurchase agreements with terms of less than one year. YNB had Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB) advances outstanding of $109,311,000 at March 31, 1999 compared to $89,316,000 at December 31, 1998. YNB continues to utilize callable FHLB advances. At March 31, 1999 callable advances totaled $103,500,000 or 94.7% of advances outstanding compared to $83,500,000 or 93.4% at December 31, 1998. Callable FHLB advances have terms of ten years and are callable after periods ranging from one to five years. The callable FHLB Advances and repurchase agreements have allowed YNB to lower its borrowing costs, while at the same time extending the maturity of borrowings. In the event that rates rise, the callable borrowings will be called. In the event of falling interest rates, callable borrowings will not be called and could remain outstanding until maturity. Borrowed funds included $1,900,000 related to Yardville National Bank's ESOP. The ESOP purchased 155,340 shares of common stock of the Holding Company with a loan from a nonaffiliated financial institution. The financing is for a term of five years with an interest rate of 7.00%. The interest rate is fixed for the period of the loan and the loan will be repaid in equal monthly installments over the term of the loan. The shares purchased by the ESOP were used as collateral for the loan. The Holding Company guarantees the repayment of the loan. YNB has the ability to borrow up to $32,684,000 from the FHLB through its line of credit program, subject to collateral requirements. In addition, YNB is eligible to borrow up to 30% of assets under the FHLB advance program subject to FHLB stock requirements, collateral requirements and other restrictions. YNB also maintains unsecured federal funds lines with four commercial banks totaling $23,000,000 for daily funding needs. YNB's funding strategy is to rely on deposits to fund new loan growth whenever possible and to rely on borrowed funds as a secondary funding source for loans. Company - Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Trust Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trust Holding Solely Junior Subordinated Debentures of the Company (Trust Preferred Securities) On October 16, 1997, YNB through its subsidiary Yardville Capital Trust completed the sale of $11,500,000 9.25%, Trust Preferred Securities to the public. For regulatory capital purposes the entire amount of the issue is treated as Tier 1 capital at the Holding Company level. 14 Capital On May 12, 1999 the Holding Company announced the pricing of 1,400,000 shares of its common stock in a underwritten Secondary Public Offering. The common stock was offered to the public at a price of $12.00 per share and will generate gross proceeds of approximately $16.8 million. Stockholders' equity at March 31, 1999 totaled $41,390,000, an increase of $634,000 or 1.6% compared to $40,756,000 at December 31, 1998. This net increase resulted from the following factors: (i) Net income of $1,554,000 less cash dividend payment of $411,000. (ii) The unrealized loss on available for sale securities was $284,000 at December 31, 1998 compared to an unrealized loss of $924,000 at March 31, 1999. This shift resulted in a $640,000 reduction in stockholders' equity. (iii) Proceeds of $53,000 from exercised options and $2,000,000 from the issuance of common shares to the ESOP. (iv) Repurchase of 1,700 shares of common stock for $22,000, which increased treasury shares to 172,000 and the cost of total stock repurchases to $3,030,000. (v) Commitment to ESOP of $1,900,000 representing the balance of the loan used to finance the purchase of common stock by the ESOP. The decline in the capital ratios from December 31, 1998 to March 31, 1999 was caused by asset growth rates exceeding the rate of capital formation. Management remains committed to keeping YNB a well-capitalized institution under the prompt corrective action rules. The following table sets forth regulatory capital ratios for the Holding Company and the Bank as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998:
Amount Ratios - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- dollars in thousands 3/31/99 12/31/98 3/31/99 12/31/98 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Risk-based capital: Tier 1 the Holding Company $53,804 $52,531 8.9% 9.9% the Bank 54,507 50,948 9.0 9.6 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total the Holding Company 60,976 59,151 10.1 11.2 the Bank 61,229 56,341 10.2 10.8 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tier 1 leverage: the Holding Company 53,804 52,531 6.6 7.7 the Bank $54,057 $50,948 6.6% 8.5% - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The minimum regulatory capital requirements for financial institutions require institutions to have a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%; a Tier 1 risk-based asset capital ratio of 4.0% and a total risked based capital ratio of 8.0%. To be considered "well capitalized" an institution must have a minimum Tier 1 capital and total risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% and 10.0%, respectively, and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.0%. At March 31, 1999, the ratios of both the Holding Company and the Bank exceeded the ratios required to be considered well capitalized. On October 28, 1997, the Holding Company's Board of Directors authorized management to repurchase up to 172,000 shares of the Holding Company's common stock in the open market in compliance 15 with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of March 31, 1999, as part of an overall capital plan, 172,000 shares were repurchased at an average price of $17.62. Credit Quality The following table sets forth nonperforming assets and risk elements in YNB's loan portfolio by type as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998. Nonperforming Assets - -------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) 3/31/99 12/31/98 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Nonaccrual loans: - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial and industrial $ 201 $ 232 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Real estate - mortgage 570 570 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Real estate - construction -- 684 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Consumer 71 31 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Other 495 529 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 1,337 2,046 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Restructured loans 622 634 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Loans 90 days or more past due: - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Real estate - mortgage 1,217 1,093 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Consumer 112 100 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 1,329 1,193 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total nonperforming loans 3,288 3,873 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Other real estate 4,857 4,957 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total nonperforming assets $8,145 $8,830 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- At March 31, 1999, nonperforming loans, consisting of loans 90 days and more past due, restructured loans and nonaccrual loans, totaled $3,288,000 compared to $3,873,000 at December 31, 1998. Other real estate at March 31, 1999 totaled $4,857,000 compared to $4,957,000 at December 31, 1998. Total nonperforming assets at March 31, 1999 were $8,145,000, which is $685,000 or 7.8% lower than nonperforming asset levels at December 31, 1998. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.91% at March 31, 1999 compared to 1.17% at December 31, 1998. The improvement in this ratio was due to strong asset growth rates and a decrease in both nonperforming loans and other real estate. YNB continues to actively manage nonperforming assets with the goal of reducing these assets in relationship to the total loan portfolio. Whenever possible, existing loan relationships are being restructured in an effort to return these loans to performing status. At March 31, 1999 other real estate included two real estate construction loans originally placed into nonaccrual status in 1996. Both properties are in the process of being resolved with one of these loans totaling approximately $1,800,000 under a contract for sale. The allowance for loan losses totaled $7,172,000 or 1.32% of total loans at March 31, 1999 compared to $6,768,000 or 1.38% of total loans at December 31, 1998. The provision for loan losses for the first three months of 1999 was $650,000 with net charge-offs totaling $246,000. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 218.1% at March 31, 1999 compared to 174.7% at December 31, 1998. At March 31, 1999 the allowance for loan 16 losses in management's judgement is considered adequate in relation to credit risk exposure levels. Results of Operations Net Income YNB reported net income of $1,554,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, an increase of $220,000 or 16.5% over the same period in 1998. The increase in net income for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to the same period in 1998, is primarily attributed to higher net interest income, offset by a higher provision for loan losses, and increased non-interest expense. On a per share basis, both basic and diluted earnings per share increased $0.05 or 19.2% to $0.31 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to $0.26 for both basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Net Interest Income YNB's net interest income for the first three months of 1999 was $6,417,000 an increase of $1,138,000 or 21.6% from the same period in 1998. The principal factor contributing to this increase was an increase in interest income of $2,907,000 resulting from increased loan and security balances offset by an increase of $1,769,000 in interest expense. This increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher volume of time deposits and increased levels of borrowed funds. The net interest margin (tax equivalent basis) between the yield on average earning assets and the cost of average funding liabilities, for the three months ended March 31, 1999, was 3.35% a 32 basis point or 8.7% decline compared to 3.67% for the same period in 1998. The principal factors causing the narrowing of the net interest margin were lower yields on securities and loans, and higher volume and costs of certificates of deposit. The net interest margin for the 1999 and 1998 comparative periods is negatively impacted by the Investment Growth Strategy. The targeted spread on this strategy is 75 basis points after tax. Because of the targeted spread on this strategy, there will be a negative impact to the net interest margin and return on assets. The balance outstanding in the Investment Growth Strategy at March 31, 1999, was approximately $191,800,000 compared to $111,200,000 at March 31, 1998. Conversely, this strategy increases both return on average equity and earnings per share, the primary goals of the strategy. Interest Income For the three months ended March 31, 1999 total interest income was $14,598,000 an increase of $2,907,000, or 24.9% when compared to interest income of $11,691,000 for the same period in 1998. This increase is due to higher average balances in both loans and securities, which is partially offset by lower yields on both asset types. Average loans increased $118,631,000 or 29.6% while the yield declined 48 basis points to 8.25% from 8.73%. The decline in loan yields 17 reflects strong competition for loans in YNB's market as well as a 75 basis point drop in the prime rate in the last four months of 1998. A substantial portion of YNB's commercial loans has interest rates indexed to the prime rate. Interest and fees on loans for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increasing $1,963,000 or 22.4% to $10,711,000 from $8,748,000 for the same period in 1998. Average securities outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased $72,407,000 or 41.3% to $247,633,000 when compared to the $175,226,000 for the same period of 1998. Over the same period, the yield on the securities portfolio decreased 45 basis points to 5.99% from 6.44%. These factors resulted in interest on securities increasing $889,000 to $3,708,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to $2,819,000 for the same period in 1998. Overall, the yield on YNB's interest earning asset portfolio decreased 53 basis points to 7.46% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from the 7.99% for the same period in 1998. Interest Expense Total interest expense increased $1,769,000 or 27.6% to $8,181,000 for the first three months of 1999 compared to $6,412,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase in interest expense for the comparable time period resulted from a larger deposit base, specifically time deposits, and an increase in borrowed funds. Offsetting these higher balances were lower rates on deposits and borrowed funds. The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased 30 basis points to 4.66% from 4.96% for the same period of 1998. Interest on other time deposits under $100,000 increased $1,128,000 to $3,801,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $2,673,000 for the same period in 1998. This increase was caused by an increase in the average outstanding balance of $90,735,000 to $277,851,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, when compared to the outstanding average balance of $187,116,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Offsetting this increase was a 24 basis point drop in the cost of time deposits under $100,000 to 5.47% for the first three months of 1999 from 5.71% for the same period of 1998. Interest expense on certificates of deposit under $100,000 accounted for 46.5% of total interest expense and 63.8% of the total increase in interest expense. During the first three months of 1999, YNB offered attractive rates on CDs locally and nationwide, to fund loan growth and improve liquidity. Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $611,000 to $2,528,000 for the first three months of 1999 when compared to the $1,917,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase was caused by a $64,077,000 increase in the average balance outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1999 when compared to the same period in 1998. The rate paid on borrowed funds declined 60 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to 5.07% from the 5.67% for the same period last year. The primary cause for the increase in interest expense on borrowed funds is the higher level of borrowings used to fund the Investment Growth Strategy. The shifting of borrowed funds out of fixed term products into convertible products at lower interest rates, and to a lesser extent, lower yields on term repurchase agreements, caused the overall decrease in rate. While YNB desires to fund asset growth with lower cost savings, money market, interest bearing checking and non-interest bearing demand deposits, this is not always possible, as asset 18 growth rates continue to exceed the growth rate in these deposit types. To meet the required funding needs, YNB anticipates continued reliance on higher cost retail CDs and, to a lesser extent, borrowed funds. Provision for Loan Losses YNB provides for possible loan losses by a charge to current operations. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $650,000, a 62.5% increase over the $400,000 provision recorded for the same period of 1997. The increase in the provision was primarily due to the strong loan growth in first three months of 1998. Management believes that the reserve for loan losses is adequate in relation to the credit risk exposure levels. Non-interest Income Total non-interest income for the first three months of 1999 was $728,000, an increase of $40,000 or 5.8% over non-interest income of $688,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase is primarily due to increases in other non-interest income. Other non-interest income increased $34,000 or 9.6% for the first three months of 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. The increase is principally due to additional income derived from life insurance assets, which totaled $188,000 and represents a $25,000 or 15.3% increase over the $163,000 for the same period last year and accounts for 62.5% of the increase in total non-interest income. The increase is due to higher average balances of life insurance assets offset by a lower yield. The income earned on these assets is used to offset expenses on deferred compensation programs. Management continues to closely evaluate both traditional and non-traditional sources of new non-interest income as part of a longer-term strategy to increase earnings. Non-interest Expense Total non-interest expense increased $841,000 or 24.0% to $4,345,000 for the first three months of 1999 compared to $3,504,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase in non-interest expenses was primarily due to increases in salary and employee benefits, equipment expense and other non-interest expense. Total non-interest expenses, on an annualized basis, as a percentage of average assets were 2.12% for the first three months of 1999 compared to 2.25% for the same period of 1998. The improvement in this ratio is due to the strong asset growth in the first quarter. YNB's efficiency ratio for the first three months of 1999 was 60.8%, an increase from the 58.7% for the same period in 1998. The efficiency ratio is computed by dividing total operating expenses by net interest income and other income. An increase in the efficiency ratio indicates that more resources are being utilized to generate the same or greater volume of income while a decrease would indicate a more efficient allocation of resources. Salary and employee benefits increased $348,000 or 17.9% to $2,291,000 for the first three months of 1999 compared to $1,943,000 for the same period in 1998. Salary and benefits expense accounted for 52.7% of total noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 1999 compared to 55.4% for the same period in 1998. Salary expense increased $304,000 reflecting increased 19 staffing levels associated with the Pennington and Newtown Branches and new hires in other areas of YNB and normal salary increases. Benefit expense increased $44,000 or 36.5%. In 1999, YNB adopted the ESOP for the benefit of employees. The compensation expense portion of the ESOP was $88,000 and accounted for 22.5% of the total increase in salary and employee benefits for the quarter. Equipment expense increased $66,000 or 22.3% to $362,000 for the first three months of 1999 from $296,000 for the same period in 1998. The equipment costs increase reflects the continuing efforts of YNB to maintain and upgrade technology in order to provide the highest quality service, increase productivity, and address Year 2000 issues. Equipment costs includes depreciation on equipment which increased $50,000 and accounted for 75.8% of the total increase in equipment expense for the period. Occupancy expense for the first three months of 1999 was $313,000, an increase of $80,000 or 34.3% compared to $233,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase was due to the leasing of additional space for the East Windsor branch, lease payments on the new Pennington and Newtown branches, routine rent increases, and increased utility costs related to the operation of YNB's various facilities Other non-interest expenses increased $347,000 or 33.6% to $1,379,000 for the three months of 1999 when compared to the $1,032,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase in other non-interest expenses accounts for 41.3% of the increase in total non-interest expenses. Expenses, including write downs, related to other real estate owned increased $219,000 in the first quarter of 1999 when compared to the same period in 1998. This increase accounted for 63.1% of the increase in other non-interest expenses and 26.0% of the increase in total non-interest expense. A key focus of YNB remains controlling the increase in non-interest expenses. Income Tax Expense The effective income tax rate was 27.7% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to 35.3% for the same periods in 1997. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the use of a state income tax planning strategy. Management anticipates that this strategy will continue to reduce state income tax in 1999. Higher levels of tax-free income also reduced Federal income tax in 1999 when compared to 1998. Total income tax decreased $133,000 or 18.2% to $596,000 for the first three months of 1999 when compared to the $729,000 for the same period in 1998. Year 2000 (Y2K) General Issues surrounding the Y2K arise out of the fact that many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a year in the date field. Additionally, Y2K is not just a computer issue, but involves communication, building and environmental systems as well as office equipment. Y2K readiness can be affected to the extent that other entities such as loan customers and key vendors are unsuccessful in addressing this issue. Y2K issues affect virtually all aspects of YNB's 20 organization. YNB began taking a proactive approach to this issue in 1997. YNB's response includes a written compliance plan. Management believes that the level of resources committed to the project is adequate and the oversight provided by senior management and the Board of Directors is appropriate. YNB is on schedule with its Y2K compliance plan. State of Readiness YNB has identified six distinct areas for its Y2K compliance efforts. The Technology committee, which consists of four directors and all of the executive management team and System and Operations committee are the primary groups coordinating YNB's Y2K efforts. The Board of Directors receives monthly reporting on the progress of YNB's Y2K compliance efforts. In addition, YNB receives guidance from the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), the formal interagency group responsible for uniform principles, standards, and procedures for the examination of financial institutions by the federal regulatory agencies, and participates in scheduled federal Year 2000 examinations. These examinations are being conducted to assess each financial institution's Year 2000 efforts. Core Computer Systems: YNB utilizes Information Technology System's (ITI) software for processing all deposit, loan and general ledger activity. In June 1998, YNB completed preliminary testing of all loan and deposit functions at a remote disaster recovery site utilizing Y2K testing software purchased from ITI. Results of the preliminary testing were satisfactory. Due to the recent hardware upgrades, YNB successfully completed testing on deposit, loan functions and general ledger in April of 1999. Management does not anticipate any major Y2K compliance problems with the ITI system. Significant Alliances: YNB depends on many outside vendors and suppliers to function efficiently. However, management has identified three systems that have significant Y2K compliance issues due to their reliance on computer hardware and software. These systems are the Federal Reserve Bank's Fed Line wire system, the MAC(R) network which supports YNB's automatic teller machines (ATM) and Automated Clearing House (ACH) which YNB uses to process direct deposit activities including payrolls. YNB requires vendors and suppliers to provide representations that their systems are Y2K compliant and has a system in place to track vendors' Y2K compliance efforts. Testing of the Fed Line wire system, the MAC network and ACH transactions has been successfully completed. YNB has also identified our provider of mortgage servicing, Wendover Financial Services Corporation, as a significant alliance. Wendover is a subsidiary of Electronic Data Systems, which is one of the largest service providers of data processing applications in the United States. Wendover utilizes software provided by ALLTEL Incorporated. YNB has been provided detailed plans and strategies from both companies regarding Y2K compliance. ALLTEL has advised YNB that their systems are Y2K compliant at December 31, 1998. ALLTEL is currently facilitating a client-managed task force that conducted Y2K testing in the first quarter of 1999. Although YNB must still evaluate the test reports, management does not anticipate any major Y2k compliance problems with either Wendover Financial Services or ALLTEL. 21 End User Computing: YNB's plan to ensure compliance of desktop computers throughout the company includes the replacement of non-compliant computers and related software. All mission critical personal computers are now Y2K complaint. YNB is in the process of testing non-mission critical personal computers and replacing when required. Technical Infrastructure: The most critical part of YNB's technical infrastructure is the communication network hardware and software that links all of YNB's departments and branches to the ITI system and allows them to process deposit, loan and general ledger activities. To ensure Y2K compliance the network is tested from each location. Management does not anticipate any significant Y2K compliance issues with its network. Physical Property and Infrastructures: YNB's physical properties and infrastructures include energy and security systems as well as date sensitive equipment. Testing in this area continues and management does not anticipate any significant Y2K issues resulting from this area. Commercial Loan Relationships: YNB has identified its commercial loan customers as a potential area of YNB's Y2K exposure. To the extent that a borrower's financial position is weakened as a result of Y2K issues, credit quality could be adversely affected. Management has reviewed the commercial loan portfolio to identify loan types having significant Y2K exposure. Loan calling officers are in the process of contacting loan customers and assessing their Y2K exposure and compliance efforts. All significant new commercial loan applications include an assessment of the Y2K exposure and compliance efforts of the customer. While YNB continues to closely monitor its commercial loan customers, management cannot predict whether its customers will be successful in becoming Y2K complaint. 22 Y2K Program Status Core Computer Systems Plan: 100% compliant by 3/31/99. Present Status: 100% completed. Significant Alliances Plan: 100% ready* by 6/30/99. Present Status: 95% completed. End User Computing Plan: 100% compliant by 6/30/99. Present Status: 95% completed. Technical Infrastructure Plan: 100% compliant by 6/30/99. Present Status: 100% completed. Physical Properties and Plan: 100% compliant by 3/31/99. Infrastructure Present Status: 100% completed. Commercial Loan Customers Plan: 100% ready* by 6/30/99. Present Status: 85% completed. *Ready means having a comprehensive Y2K program in place and a plan that will achieve compliance before January 1, 2000. Y2K Costs YNB's Y2K related costs for 1998 were approximately $810,000. This includes approximately $615,000 in equipment related purchases that will be depreciated over five years. The remaining expense includes additional compensation expense and costs related to testing and upgrading systems. Management anticipates 1999 expenditures to decline significantly as most of the significant hardware and software purchases have been completed. Total Y2K costs are projected to be between $50,000 and $100,000 in 1999. This level could rise in the event ongoing testing uncovers unanticipated Y2K compliance issues. Y2K Contingency Plans YNB has established Y2K contingency plans as part of its overall disaster recovery plan. These plans identify all mission critical systems and include strategies to overcome Y2K related problems. These plans continue to be reviewed and will be modified from time to time based on the results of the ongoing Y2K compliance efforts. Management believes that the contingency plans should allow YNB to continue to operate in the event of Y2K disruptions with a minimum of disruption and moderate increased costs. 23 Y2K Risks The most reasonable worst case scenario for YNB with respect to the Y2K problem is an adverse affect on the credit quality of its commercial loan portfolio. This could be caused by the inability of customers to service their bank debt due to their own Y2K problems or that of their key customers or suppliers. This could result in lower interest income and higher loan chargeoffs should the Y2K problems become very serious. Management cannot predict the number of customers that will experience Y2K related problems or the amount of revenue that could be lost due to them. In addition, without electrical power and telephone communication it would be very difficult for YNB to effectively operate. Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk There have been no material changes in YNB's market risk from December 31, 1998 except as discussed below. For information regarding YNB's market risk refer to the Company's 1998 Annual Report to stockholders. Changes in Earning Risk Net interest income over the next twelve-month period indicates a larger risk to lower rates (-300 basis points) at March 31, 1999 than reported at December 31, 1998. Comparing the simulation results of this low rate scenario to the flat rate interest rate scenario indicates a -10.9% change in net interest income compared to -9.7% at year end 1998. The cumulative one-year gap turned negative $43,464,000 gap or -4.9% of assets at March 31, 1999 compared to positive $12,718,000 or 1.7% of assets at year-end 1998. The dollar change in the gap was $56,182,000. The reasons for this change in short term earnings risk profile include: 1. The addition of $68,951,000 in securities with repricing or maturity dates beyond one year. 2. The origination of $20,312,000 in loans with repricing or maturity dates beyond one year. 3. The addition of certificates of deposit of $13,004,000 with maturity dates of one year or less. 4. An increase of $19,996,000 in borrowed funds with maturity dates of less than one year. Changes in Market risk Management measures market risk by changes in the Economic Value of Portfolio Equity (EVPE) as a percentage of total assets with rate shifts of +/- 200 basis points. EVPE analysis is an indication of long-term market risks in the balance sheet. It measures the present value of asset and liability cash flows based on current inventory and market rates to determine the present value of equity. The present value of equity is subsequently measured by shifting interest rates by +/- 200 basis points to observe the variances as a percentage of total assets. It is management's intention to maintain modest changes in this measure with a target of below 3%. 24 At March 31, 1999, the EVPE changes by -3.82% for rate shifts of +200 and - --2.06% for rate shifts of -200 basis points. The non-symmetry of the results is indicative of the callable funding booked in 1998. This compares to changes of - -2.35% and -2.74% respectively at December 31, 1998. The primary causes for this increase to rising rates are listed below: Liability durations had a significant impact falling to 1.68 years at March 31, 1999 from 1.84 years at December 31, 1998. This resulted from increased use of shorter-term repurchase agreements to hedge income risks to lower interest rates and higher interest rates shortening the conversion dates of callable funding. Asset durations increased to 2.16 years at March 31, 1999 from 1.99 years at December 31, 1998. The primary cause of this lengthening of assets was an increase in the investment duration to 4.36 years from 4.12 years. This lengthening resulted from purchases of long-term tax-free municipal bonds, callable bonds and slower prepayment speeds extending the average lives of mortgage backed securities. The EVPE change to rising rates of -3.82% exceeds the target limit of 3.0%. Management is currently implementing a strategy to lower the ratio below the 3.0% limit by the end of the third quarter of 1999. PART II: OTHER INFORMATION Item 1: Legal Proceedings Not Applicable.
