WSFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION WSFS Financial Corporation (the Corporation) is a thrift holding company headquartered in the state of Delaware. The Corporation has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, (the Bank or WSFS) a thrift conducting business in the Mid-Atlantic region and WSFS Capital Trust I, a company formed to issue Trust Preferred Securities to be invested in Junior Subordinated Debentures of the Corporation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company, WSFS Capital Trust I, the Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: WSFS Credit Corporation (WCC), Community Credit Corporation (CCC), 838 Investment Group, Inc. and Star States Development Company, (SSDC). The consolidated statement of condition as of September 30, 1999, the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited and include all adjustments solely of a normal recurring nature which management believes are necessary for a fair presentation. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period's financial statements to conform them to the September 30, 1999 presentation. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the expected results for the full year ending December 31, 1999. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's 1998 Annual Report. 2.

3. EQUITY INVESTMENT In August 1999, WSFS Financial Corporation invested $5.5 million in CustomerOne Financial Network, Inc. (C1FN), a corporation formed in 1998 for the express purpose of providing direct-to-consumer marketing, servicing, Internet development and technology management for "branchless" financial services. With this investment, WSFS has approximately a 25% ownership in C1FN and is its largest single shareholder. In addition, WSFS received warrants for the purchase of an additional 20% ownership as well as the opportunity, and under certain circumstances, the obligation, to invest an additional $5.4 million in C1FN, at current offered ownership prices. Under the planned structure, C1FN's Internet-only banking structure will become part of everbank.com(TM), a division of WSFS. Everbank.com(TM) began marketing Internet-only banking to a national clientele in November 1999. At September 30, 1999, this investment was accounted for under the equity method. Given that WSFS expects to obtain a controlling interest in C1FN in the fourth quarter of 1999, it is anticipated that C1FN will be consolidated into WSFS Financial Corporation's financial statements at December 31,1999. WSFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL WSFS Financial Corporation (the Corporation) is a savings and loan holding company headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. Substantially all of the Corporation's assets are held by its subsidiary, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (the Bank or WSFS). The long-term goal of the Corporation is to be a high-performing, customer-centered financial services company focused on its core, banking business in Delaware, while developing unique, profitable niches in complementary businesses which may operate outside the Bank's geographical footprint. Founded in 1832, WSFS is one of the oldest financial institutions in the country. It has operated under the same name and charter serving the residents of Delaware for over 167 years. WSFS is the largest thrift institution headquartered in Delaware and is the fourth largest financial institution in the state on the basis of deposits traditionally garnered in-market. The Corporation's market area is the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, characterized by a diversified manufacturing and service economy. The Bank provides cash management services as well as residential real estate, and commercial and consumer lending services, funding these credit activities by attracting retail deposits and borrowings. Deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. WSFS also has the largest off-premise ATM network in the state of Delaware. Other operating subsidiaries of the Bank include WSFS Credit Corporation, engaged primarily in motor vehicle leasing; 838 Investment Group, Inc., which markets insurance products and securities; and Community Credit Corporation, a consumer finance company specializing in consumer loans secured by first and second mortgages. FINANCIAL CONDITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY Financial Condition Total assets increased $65.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Asset growth included increases of $37.1 million in net loans and $26.2 million in vehicles under operating leases. The increase in loans was primarily due to a $42.4 million increase in residential mortgages. In addition, the increase in loans is net of the large commercial loan prepayments of $23.9 million that occurred during the first quarter of 1999. Total liabilities increased $59.8 million between December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999. During the first nine months of 1999, total deposits grew by $51.0 million, the result of the influx of jumbo certificates of deposit and the acquisition of $50.1 million in brokered deposits. Interest credited to deposits totaled $14.7 million for a net deposit growth of $36.3 million. Capital Resources Stockholders' equity increased $5.4 million between December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999. This increase reflects net income of $13.5 million for the first nine months of 1999 partially offset by a $3.2 million increase in net unrealized holding losses on securities available-for-sale for the nine month period. In addition, treasury stock increased $4.3 million as a result of the purchase of 290,000 treasury shares, less the re-issuance of 4,500 shares of treasury stock to the Board of Directors as part of their annual retainer. At September 30, 1999, the Corporation held in its treasury 3,478,269 shares of its common stock at a cost of $41.3 million. A table presenting the Bank's consolidated capital position relative to the minimum regulatory requirements as of September 30, 1999 (dollars in thousands):
To be Well-Capitalized Consolidated For Capital Under Prompt Corrective Bank Capital Adequacy Purposes Action Provisions ------------ ----------------- ----------------- Percentage of Percentage of Percentage of Amount Assets Amount Assets Amount Assets ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Total Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) .... $139,053 12.68% $ 87,696 8.00% $109,620 10.00% Core Capital (to Adjusted Tangible Assets) ............. 130,962 7.69 68,088 4.00 85,110 5.00 Tangible Capital (to Tangible Assets) ...................... 130,741 7.68 25,530 1.50 N/A N/A Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) ...................... 130,962 11.95 N/A N/A 65,772 6.00
Under Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) capital regulations, savings institutions such as the Bank must maintain "tangible" capital equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets, "core" capital equal to 4.0% of adjusted total assets and "total" or "risk-based" capital (a combination of core and "supplementary" capital) equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. In addition, OTS regulations impose certain restrictions on savings associations that have a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8.0%, a ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of less than 4.0% or a ratio of tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets of less than 4.0% (or 3.0% if the institution is rated Composite 1 under the OTS examination rating system). For purposes of these regulations, tier 1 capital has the same definition as core capital. At September 30, 1999, the Bank is in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements and is classified as a "well capitalized" institution. Management anticipates that the Bank will continue to be classified as well-capitalized. Liquidity The OTS requires institutions, such as the Bank, to maintain a 4.0% minimum liquidity ratio of cash and qualified assets to net withdrawable deposits and borrowings due within one year. At September 30, 1999, the Bank's liquidity ratio was 6.0% compared to 10.6% at December 31, 1998. Management monitors liquidity daily and maintains funding sources to meet unforeseen changes in cash requirements. It is the policy of the Bank to maintain cash and investments at least slightly above required levels. The Corporation's primary financing sources are deposits, repayments of loans and investment securities, sales of loans and borrowings. In addition, the Corporation's liquidity requirements can be accomplished through the use of its borrowing capacity from the FHLB of Pittsburgh, the sale of certain securities and the pledging of certain loans for other lines of credit. Management believes these sources are sufficient to maintain the required and prudent levels of liquidity. NONPERFORMING ASSETS The following table sets forth the Corporation's nonperforming assets, restructured loans and past due loans at the dates indicated. Past due loans are loans contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments but which remain on accrual status because they are considered well secured and in the process of collection.

Nonperforming assets decreased $3.1 million between September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998. This decrease resulted primarily from a $1.8 million decline in assets acquired through foreclosure, of which $1.3 million was related to one commercial property. An analysis of the change in the balance of nonperforming assets is presented on the following page.

The timely identification of problem loans is a key element in the Corporation's strategy to manage its loan portfolios. Timely identification enables the Corporation to take appropriate action and, accordingly, minimize losses. An asset review system established to monitor the asset quality of the Corporation's loans and investments in real estate portfolios facilitates the identification of problem assets. In general, this system utilizes guidelines established by federal regulation; however, there can be no assurance that the levels or the categories of problem loans and assets established by the Bank are the same as those which would result from a regulatory examination. INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY The matching of maturities or repricing periods of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities to ensure a favorable interest rate spread and mitigate exposure to fluctuations in interest rates is the Corporation's primary focus for achieving its asset/liability management strategies. Interest rate-sensitive assets of the Corporation include cash flows that relate to the principal of the operating lease portfolio, which are interest-rate sensitive. The trust preferred borrowing is classified in the less than one-year category reflecting the variable rate feature of the instrument. An interest rate cap was purchased in 1998 in order to limit its interest rate risk exposure. Management regularly reviews interest-rate sensitivity of the Corporation and adjusts sensitivity within acceptable tolerance ranges established by management as needed. At September 30, 1999, interest-bearing liabilities exceeded interest-earning assets that mature within one year (interest-sensitivity gap) by $94.1 million. The Corporation's interest-sensitive assets as a percentage of interest-sensitive liabilities within the one-year window decreased to 89.4% at September 30, 1999 compared to 97.6% at December 31, 1998. Likewise, the one-year interest-sensitive gap as a percentage of total assets decreased to a negative 5.53% from a negative 1.21% at December 31, 1998. The change is the result of the Corporation's continuing effort to effectively manage interest rate risk. COMPARISON FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998 Results of Operations The Corporation reported net income of $4.5 million, or $.40 per share (diluted), for the three months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $4.6 million, or $.37 per share (diluted), for the third quarter of 1998. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $13.5 million, or $1.18 per share (diluted), compared to $13.5 million, or $1.07 per share (diluted), for the same period last year. The improvement of earnings per share reflects the Corporation's stock repurchase program, which reduced average shares outstanding by approximately 10% between periods. Net Interest Income The table on the following page, dollars expressed in thousands, provides information concerning the balances, yields and rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities during the periods indicated.

(1) Weighted average yields have been computed on a tax-equivalent basis. (2) Nonperforming loans are included in average balance computations. (3) Balances are reflected net of unearned income. (4) Includes commercial mortgage loans. (5) Includes securities available-for-sale. Net interest income increased $488,000 between the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. The net interest margin increased 9 basis points between the comparable quarters primarily due to a reduced cost of funding. Total interest income decreased $138,000 between the comparable three month periods. The yield on loans declined 63 basis points from 9.12% to 8.49% over the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. The yield on mortgage-backed securities also declined from 6.44% to 6.26%. Total interest expense declined $626,000 between the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was reduced by 53 basis points between the comparable periods, the result of favorable repricing. The cost of borrowings, including trust-preferred borrowings declined 29 basis points to 5.65% from 5.94% over the same period. Net interest income increased $576,000 between the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. The net margin declined 10 basis points between comparable quarters primarily due to the $40.6 million growth in the average operating lease portfolio, which significantly enhances fee income but expectedly depresses the margin as the funding costs are reflected in interest expense. Total interest income increased $213,000 between 1999 and 1998 primarily due to the increase in mortgaged-backed securities. The average investment in mortgage-backed securities increased $86.9 million between the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. In addition, total average loans increased $25.9 million, between 1999 and 1998, however the yield on loans declined by 72 basis points. The yield on mortgage-backed securities also declined from 6.47% to 6.28% over the same period. Total interest expense decreased $363,000 between the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. The decrease is attributed to the reduction in the cost of funds. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was reduced by 49 basis points between 1999 and 1998. The cost of borrowings, including trust-preferred borrowings declined 38 basis points to 5.56% from 5.94% over the same period. Allowance for Loan/Lease Losses: The Corporation maintains allowances for credit losses and charges losses to these allowances when such losses are realized. The allowances for losses are maintained at a level which management considers adequate to provide for losses based upon an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the portfolios. Management's evaluation is based upon a continuing review of the portfolios. The following table represents a summary of the changes in the allowance for loan losses during the periods indicated.

(1) Includes commercial mortgages and construction loans. (2) Includes finance-type leases. (3) Ratio is annualized. Other Income Noninterest income increased $1.0 million between the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999. This increase resulted primarily from net rental income on operating leases, which increased $798,000, between the comparable quarters. The growth in rental income was attributable to a 25% increase in the average balance of vehicles under operating leases between September 30, 1998 and 1999. In addition, deposit service charges increased $297,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 1999 in comparison to the quarter ended September 30, 1998, due to increased fees along with the addition of six new branches. Credit/debit and ATM fee income increased $263,000 between the third quarters of 1999 and 1998 primarily due to the expansion of the Bank's ATM network and increased usage of the Company's debit card. Partially offsetting these increases was the other income category, which decreased $278,000 between the comparable periods. Other income included a $75,000 loss related to CustomerOne Financial Network, Inc. (C1FN), based on the equity method of accounting. This represents 25% (WSFS' percentage of ownership of C1FN) of C1FN's loss for the month of September. In addition this category included $82,000 in gains on the sale of loans during 1998 compared to a $6,000 loss in 1999. Noninterest income increased $2.9 million between the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999. This increase resulted primarily from net rental income on operating leases, which increased $2.0 million between the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999, the result of a 23% rise in the average balance of vehicles under operating leases during the comparable periods. In addition, deposit service charges increased $735,000 while credit/debit card and ATM fee income increased $689,000 between the comparable time period. Partially offsetting these increases was a decline in securities gains of $288,000. Other Expenses Noninterest expenses increased $1.5 million between the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1999. Higher salary, equipment, data processing and occupancy expenses accounted for the planned increase and were primarily associated with six new retail banking offices, expansion of the fee generating ATM network and investments in technology for enhanced customer service capabilities. Noninterest expenses increased $3.7 million between the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1999. Consistent with the quarterly results, higher salary, equipment, data processing and occupancy expenses accounted for the planned increase and were primarily associated with six new retail banking offices, expansion of the fee generating ATM network and investments in technology for enhanced customer service capabilities. Partially offsetting these increases was a $326,000 decline in net costs of assets acquired through foreclosure, the result of the decline in problem assets. Income Taxes The Corporation and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return and separate state income tax returns. Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, which requires the recording of deferred income taxes for tax consequences of "temporary differences". The Corporation recorded a provision for income taxes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 of $1.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively, compared to an income tax provision of $1.6 million and $4.7 million, for the comparable periods of 1998. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 were 26% compared to 26%, which is essentially the same as comparable periods in 1998. These effective rates reflect the recognition in the financial statements of certain tax benefits from a previous acquisition of a reverse mortgage lender into the Corporation; and from a fifty-percent interest income exclusion on an ESOP loan. The Corporation analyzes its projections of taxable income on an ongoing basis and makes adjustments to its provision for income taxes accordingly. SEGMENT INFORMATION Under the definition of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, the Corporation has two operating segments: Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (Bank) and WSFS Credit Corporation (WCC). The Bank segment provides financial products through its branch network to consumer and commercial customers. The WCC segment provides loans and leases indirectly through unrelated auto dealerships primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region. Reportable segments are business units that offer different services to distinct customers. The reportable segments are managed separately because they operate under different regulations and provide services to distinct customers. The Corporation evaluates performance based on pre-tax ordinary income and allocates resources based on these results. Segment information, expressed in thousands, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 follow:

ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS In June 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which was subsequently amended in July 1999 by SFAS No. 137. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the derivative and resulting designation. 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 certain foreign currency exposures. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, of this Statement, including its provisions for the potential reclassifications of investment securities, on operations, financial condition or equity. YEAR 2000 Banking, by its nature, is a very data processing intensive industry. Year 2000 issues result from the inability of many computer programs or computerized equipment to accurately calculate, store or use a date after December 31, 1999. These potential shortcomings could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operation, including among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, calculate interest payments, track important customer information, provide convenient access to this information, or engage in normal business operations. WSFS is subject to the regulation and supervision of various banking regulators, whose oversight includes providing specific timetables, programs and guidance regarding Year 2000 issues. Regulatory examination of the WSFS Year 2000 programs are conducted periodically and reports are submitted by the Bank to the banking regulators and the Board of Directors on a periodic basis. From a technology perspective, WSFS uses application software systems and receives technical support from one of the world's largest data processing providers to financial institutions, for nearly all of its critical customer accounting applications. This company has extensive resources dedicated at their corporate level to assist their financial institution customers, including WSFS, in the effort to become Year 2000 compliant. WSFS has completed an assessment of its core financial and operational software systems and has found them already in compliance, or has developed a plan that is directed toward bringing non-complaint systems into compliance. Its Year 2000 Project Plan is in place and is progressing on schedule. WSFS has completed the renovation, testing and re-installation of 100% of its internally maintained Mission Critical Systems including those systems that comprise the books and records of the bank. Its renovation effort is substantially complete for both Significant Impact and Low Impact Systems as well, with approximately 99% of the renovation work effort for all systems complete as of September 30, 1999. WSFS has taken a proactive approach in working with several financial industry service providers, such as ATM networks and card processors, to help increase the probability that WSFS customers will have uninterrupted service into the Year 2000. Plans have been developed and are being implemented to address and track compliance in other areas of the organization. The infrastructure plan addresses physical facilities, for example: building security systems, fire alarm systems, heating and air conditioning and business equipment, for example: fax machines, copiers, vaults, ATMs, postage machines and forms. Systems outside of the direct control of WSFS, such as ATM networks, credit card processors, and the Fed Wire System, pose a more problematic issue. A theoretical problem scenario could involve a temporary inability of customers to access their funds through automated teller machines, point of service terminals at retailer locations, or other shared networks. For this reason alone, banks and their governing agencies are closely scrutinizing the progress of our major industry service providers. WSFS plans include a review of the Year 2000 efforts of our suppliers, vendors and other business relationships to encourage the timely resolution of product or service compliance issues. WSFS has completed a review of the Year 2000 risks in its customer base and plans to continue to evaluate these risks. WSFS has developed contingencies for various Year 2000 problem scenarios. These contingency plans range from converting from third-party providers that we do not feel are adequately prepared for the Year 2000, to the temporary manual processing of certain critical applications, if necessary. A detailed remediation contingency plan for core applications was in place in early 1998 and a business resumption contingency plan for the core business functions supported by these applications was completed in the second quarter of 1999. We continue to test and refine our Year 2000 contingency plans. From a cost perspective, WSFS was already involved in upgrading its technology infrastructure and therefore, many potential Year 2000 issues were avoided by the replacement of old systems with new technology. As of September 30, 1999, WSFS has expended $3.0 million related to the Year 2000 issue. WSFS anticipates spending an additional $225,000 in future periods. A large portion of costs associated with Year 2000 issues will be met from existing resources through a reprioritization of the technology department initiatives with the remainder representing incremental costs. WSFS believes the costs or the consequences of incomplete or untimely resolution of its Year 2000 issues do not represent a known material event or uncertainty that is reasonably likely to affect its future financial results, or cause its reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results or future financial condition. However, if compliance is not achieved in a timely manner by WSFS or any of its significant related third-parties, be it a supplier of services or customer, the Year 2000 issue could possibly have a material effect on the Company's results of operations and financial position. Successful and timely completion of the Year 2000 project is based on management's best estimates, which were derived from numerous assumptions of future events, which are inherently uncertain, including the availability of certain resources, third party modification plans, and other factors. Many of the factors that would guarantee Year 2000 success are beyond the control of WSFS. These factors include availability of vendor compliant products, interface system partner compliance, government activity and client readiness. Because of the interconnectedness of the Year 2000 situation, WSFS cannot realistically offer any certifications, representations or guarantees. Nevertheless, WSFS has devoted substantial resources to the problem and describes its plan in this corporate statement. WSFS' Year 2000 initiative is an ongoing process. The information available in this document may be periodically updated and is subject to change without notice. This statement about WSFS' Year 2000 readiness is intended to supercede every statement that has been made previously Year 2000 readiness issues. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Within this discussion and analysis we have included certain "forward looking statements" concerning the future operations of the Corporation. It is management's desire to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This statement is for the express purpose of availing the Corporation of the protections of such safe harbor with respect to all "forward looking statements" contained in our financial statements. We have used "forward looking statements" to describe the future plans and strategies including our expectations of the Corporation's future financial results. Management's ability to predict results or the effect of future plans and strategy is inherently uncertain. Factors that could affect results include interest rate trends, competition, the general economic climate in Delaware, mid-Atlantic region and the country as a whole, loan delinquency rates, Year 2000 issues, and changes in federal and state regulation. These factors should be considered in evaluating the "forward looking statements", and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk ---------------------------------------------------------- Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company's market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending, investing and funding activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. One measure, required to be performed by OTS-regulated institutions, is the test specified by OTS Thrift Bulletin No. 13A, "Management of Interest Rate Risk, Investment Securities and Derivative Activities." This test measures the impact on net portfolio value of an immediate change in interest rates in 100 basis point increments. Net portfolio value is defined as the net present value of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts. The chart below is the estimated impact of immediate changes in interest rates on net interest margin and net portfolio value at the specified levels at September 30, 1999 and 1998, calculated in compliance with Thrift Bulletin No. 13A:
September 30, -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 1998(1) -------------------------------- -------------------------------- Change in Interest % Change in % Change in % Change in % Change in Rate Net Interest Net Portfolio Net Portfolio Net Portfolio (Basis Points) Margin (2) Value (3) Margin (2) Value (3) -------------- ---------- ------------- ------------- ------------- +300 0% -27% 2% -23% +200 0 -19 2 -16 +100 0 -10 1 -9 -100 -1 11 -1 9 -200 -1 22 -3 19 -300 -2 34 -4 30
(1) September 30, 1998 has been restated to reflect the interest-sensitive nature of the operating lease portfolio (2) This column represents the percentage difference between net interest margin in a stable interest rate environment and net interest margin as projected in the various rate increments. (3) This column represents the percentage difference between net portfolio value of the Company in a stable interest rate environment and the net portfolio value as projected in the various rate increments. The Company's primary objective in managing interest rate risk is to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on the Company's net interest income and capital, while maximizing the yield/cost spread on the Company's asset/liability structure. The Company relies primarily on its asset/liability structure to control interest rate risk. Part II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
