6. Net Income Per Share Net income per share is calculated by dividing net operating results for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and equivalents outstanding during the period. Net income per share and weighted average shares and equivalents outstanding for all periods reported have been restated to reflect stock dividends and splits, including the Company's stock dividend declared on April 17, 1998. For purposes of computing basic net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the weighted average shares outstanding were 5,463,000 and 5,502,000, respectively, and 5,656,000 and 5,130,000, respectively. For purposes of computing diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the weighted average shares and equivalents outstanding were 5,719,000 and 5,760,000, respectively, and 5,815,000 and 5,258,000, respectively. For all periods, the difference between average basic and average diluted shares represented the dilutive impact of stock options. 7 7. Comprehensive Income In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as "the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners". The comprehensive income and related cumulative equity impact of comprehensive income items will be required to be disclosed prominently as part of the financial statements and related notes thereto. Only the impact of unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale is necessary and applicable to be disclosed as an additional component of the Company's total comprehensive income under the requirements of SFAS No. 130. On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130. For the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive income was $1.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, including other comprehensive income which represented a decrease of $541,000 and an increase of $1.1 million, respectively, in unrealized gains/losses on securities available for sale, net of income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive income was $2.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively, including other comprehensive income which represented a decrease of $573,000 and an increase of $923,000, respectively, in unrealized gains/losses on securities available for sale, net of income taxes. 8 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION General. The Company's total assets increased by $45.4 million or 5.0% to $956.1 million at June 30, 1998 from $910.8 million at December 31, 1997. This net increase was primarily the result of increases in securities and net loans receivable of $34.4 million and $18.5 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in cash equivalents of $9.8 million. The increase in total assets reflects a corresponding increase in total liabilities of $46.8 million or 5.6%, partially offset by a slight decrease in stockholders' equity of $1.4 million or 2.1%. The increase in total liabilities was primarily the result of increases in deposits, borrowed funds and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $9.0 million, $33.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The decrease in stockholders' equity was the result of increases in treasury stock and unearned employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") shares of $2.6 million and $323,000, respectively, partially offset by an increase in retained earnings of $2.0 million. Cash on hand, Interest-earning deposits and Federal funds sold. Cash on hand, interest-earning deposits and federal funds sold represent cash equivalents and decreased a combined $9.8 million or 51.8% to $9.1 million at June 30, 1998 from $18.9 million at December 31, 1997. The net decrease between June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 can be attributed primarily to security purchases and loan fundings during the period. Securities. The Company's securities portfolios increased by $34.4 million or 6.6% to $552.4 million at June 30, 1998 from $518.0 million at December 31, 1997. This net increase was primarily the result of purchases of securities of $171.9 million, consisting of purchases of municipal securities of $31.7 million, corporate bond and equity securities of $58.0 million and mortgage-backed securities of $82.3 million, during the six months ended June 30, 1998. Partially offsetting the purchases of securities were sales of securities of $63.8 million, consisting of sales of municipal securities of $6.4 million, corporate bond and equity securities of $1.0 million, U.S. government securities of $2.0 million and mortgage-backed securities of $54.4 million, and repayments and maturities of securities of $71.8 million, during the six months ended June 30, 1998. Loans receivable. Net loans receivable increased $18.5 million or 5.5% to $355.3 million at June 30, 1998 from $336.8 million at December 31, 1997. Included in this increase was an increase in mortgage loans of $7.9 million or 2.7% and other loans of $12.6 million or 20.9%, partially offset by an increase in deferred loan fees and loans in process of $2.0 million or 17.2%, during the six months ended June 30, 1998. Non-performing assets. Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans and real estate acquired through foreclosure. Non-performing assets amounted to $5.8 million or 0.60% and $4.1 million or 0.45% of total assets at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. Deposits. Total deposits increased $9.0 million or 2.2% to $408.5 million at June 30, 1998 from $399.6 million at December 31, 1997. This increase was primarily the result of increases in noninterest bearing, interest bearing and time deposits of $1.9 million, $115,000 and $7.0 million, respectively. Borrowed funds. Borrowed funds increased $33.7 million or 8.2% to $444.7 million at June 30, 1998 from $411.0 million at December 31, 1997. This increase is primarily the result of the Company utilizing reverse repurchase agreement borrowings to fund the increase in loans receivable and securities. FHLB advances decreased $19.5 million or 5.5% and reverse repurchase agreement borrowings increased $53.2 million or 95.3% during the six months ended June 30, 1998. Stockholders' equity. Stockholders' equity decreased $1.4 million or 2.1% to $67.1 million at June 30, 1998 from $68.5 million at December 31, 1997. This decrease was principally the result of net treasury stock purchases of $2.6 million, ESOP stock purchases of $323,000, partially offset by an increase in retained earnings of $2.0 million, comprised of net income of $3.1 million offset by dividends declared of $942,000 and the impact of stock options exercised of $194,000, during the six months ended June 30, 1998. 9 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General. The Company recorded net income of $1.5 million and $3.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to net income of $1.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. The $94,000 or 6.5% increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997, was attributable to a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $600,000 and an increase in noninterest income of $228,000. Partially offsetting these favorable variances between quarters were increases in noninterest expense and the provision for income taxes of $347,000 and $138,000, respectively, and a decrease in net interest income of $249,000. The $499,000 or 19.2% increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997, was attributable to increases in net interest income and noninterest income of $524,000 and $374,000, respectively, and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $801,000. Partially offsetting these favorable variances between periods were increases in noninterest expense and the provision for income taxes of $968,000 and $232,000, respectively. Net interest income. Net interest income decreased $249,000 or 5.6% to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $4.4 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase in net interest income can be attributed to an increase in interest expense of $2.0 million, partially offset by an increase in interest income of $1.8 million. Net interest income increased $524,000 or 6.5% to $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $8.1 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease in net interest income can be attributed to an increase in interest income of $5.6 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $5.0 million. Interest income. Interest income increased $1.8 million or 12.3% to $16.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $14.2 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase can be attributed primarily to increases in interest earned on loans receivable, securities and FHLB stock of $479,000, $1.3 million and $30,000, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in interest earned on interest-earning deposits of $58,000. Interest earned on loans receivable increased $479,000 or 7.5% to $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $6.4 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of loans outstanding of $30.4 million or 9.4% to $353.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $322.9 million for the same period in the prior year. Partially offsetting the increase in interest income between the periods was a decrease in the yield of loans receivable to 7.81% for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 7.95% for the same period in the prior year. Interest earned on securities increased $1.3 million or 17.6% to $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $7.4 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of securities held of $102.0 million or 22.5% to $554.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $452.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in the average balance of securities between periods was primarily the result of net security purchases during the last two quarters of 1997 and the first two quarters of 1998. Partially offsetting this volume increase, was a decline in the tax equivalent yield on securities to 6.72% for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 6.89% for the same period in the prior year. Interest income increased $5.6 million or 21.2% to $31.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $26.2 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase can be attributed primarily to increases in interest earned on loans receivable, securities and FHLB stock of $3.0 million, $2.5 million and $82,000, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in interest earned on interest-earning deposits of $30,000. 10 Interest earned on loans receivable increased $3.0 million or 27.8% to $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $10.7 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of loans outstanding of $77.9 million or 28.6% to $349.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $272.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The significant increase in the average balance of loans outstanding between periods is primarily the result of the Company's acquisition of Troy Hill Bancorp, Inc. during the second quarter of 1997. Partially offsetting the increase in interest income between the periods was a decrease in the yield of loans receivable to 7.84% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 7.89% for the same period in the prior year. Interest earned on securities increased $2.5 million or 17.0% to $17.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $14.8 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of securities held of $94.5 million or 21.0% to $544.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $449.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in the average balance of securities between periods was primarily the result of net security purchases during the last two quarters of 1997 and the first two quarters of 1998. Partially offsetting this volume increase, was a decline in the tax equivalent yield on securities to 6.78% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 6.93% for the same period in the prior year. Interest expense. Interest expense increased $2.0 million or 20.5% to $11.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $9.8 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase in interest expense can be attributed to increases in interest incurred on deposits and borrowed funds of $85,000 and $1.4 million, respectively. Also contributing to the increase in total interest expense was interest incurred on subordinated debt of $554,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1998 associated with the December 1997 $25.3 million trust preferred security offering. Interest incurred on deposits increased $85,000 or 2.0% to $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $4.3 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $10.6 million or 2.7% to $400.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $389.5 million for the same period in the prior year. This significant increase in the average balance of deposits was principally associated with the acquisition of Troy Hill Bancorp, Inc. during the second quarter of 1997. The cost of interest-bearing deposits remained relatively consistent between periods at 4.37% and 4.40% for the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Interest incurred on borrowed funds increased $1.4 million or 24.8% to $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $5.5 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of borrowed funds of $94.2 million or 26.8% to $445.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $351.1 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase in borrowed funds is a reflection of the increase in securities and loans receivables, as such funds were utilized to provide for security and loan growth. Partially offsetting the increase in interest incurred on borrowed funds was a decrease in the cost of these funds to 6.16% for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 6.26% for the same period in the prior year. Interest expense increased $5.0 million or 27.8% to $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $18.1 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase in interest expense can be attributed to increases in interest incurred on deposits and borrowed funds of $779,000 and $3.1 million, respectively. Also contributing to the increase in total interest expense was interest incurred on subordinated debt of $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 1998 associated with the December 1997 $25.3 million trust preferred security offering. Interest incurred on deposits increased $779,000 or 9.9% to $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $7.9 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $36.6 million or 10.1% to $397.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $360.8 million for the same period in the prior year. This significant increase in the average balance of deposits was principally associated with the acquisition of Troy Hill Bancorp, Inc. during the second quarter of 1997. The cost of interest-bearing deposits remained relatively consistent between periods at 4.36% and 4.37% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. 11 Interest incurred on borrowed funds increased $3.1 million or 30.7% to $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $10.2 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of borrowed funds of $102.7 million or 31.0% to $433.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $331.1 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase in borrowed funds is a reflection of the increase in securities and loans receivables, as such funds were utilized to provide for security and loan growth. The cost of borrowed funds remained relatively consistent between periods at 6.17% and 6.18% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Provision for loan losses. The decrease in the provision for loan losses between the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and the same periods in the prior year, reflects the adequacy of the Company's allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 1998. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company recorded significant provisions for loan losses associated with the previously disclosed Bennett Funding lease loans. In determining the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the present and prospective financial condition of borrowers, current and prospective economic conditions (particularly as they relate to markets where the Company originates loans), the status of non-performing assets, the estimated underlying value of the collateral and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. The Company's total allowance for losses on loans at June 30, 1998 amounted to $4.8 million or 1.29% of the Company's total loan portfolio, as compared to $4.8 million or 1.36% at December 31, 1997. The Company's allowance for losses on loans as a percentage of non-performing loans was 87.5% and 126.5% at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. Noninterest income. Noninterest income increased $228,000 or 89.8% to $482,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $254,000 for the same period in the prior year. This increase can be attributed to an increase in loan fees and service charges and net gains on security sales of $139,000 and $88,000, respectively, between periods. Noninterest income increased $374,000 or 87.6% to $801,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $427,000 for the same period in the prior year. This increase can be attributed to an increase in loan fees and service charges and net gains on security sales of $260,000 and $118,000, respectively, between periods. Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense increased $347,000 or 15.0% to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from $2.3 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of increases in compensation and employee benefits, federal deposit insurance premiums, data processing and other expenses of $112,000, $5,000, $9,000 and $227,000, respectively. The increase in compensation and employee benefits expenses were primarily the result of an increase in the Company's ESOP expense and to a lesser extent normal salary increases and staffing changes. The increase in federal deposit and insurance premiums and data processing costs were the result of the increase in the average balance of deposits and the overall number of deposit accounts. The increase in other expenses were primarily the result of an increase in audit and accounting services fees and regulatory and public reporting fees. Noninterest expense increased $968,000 or 22.3% to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from $4.3 million for the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of increases in compensation and employee benefits, premises and equipment, federal deposit insurance premiums, data processing and other expenses of $481,000, $5,000, $57,000, $34,000 and $391,000, respectively. These increases were primarily the result of the inclusion of Troy Hill's noninterest expense in the consolidated results of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 1998. Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes increased $138,000 or 41.4% and $232,000 or 31.2% to $471,000 and $976,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, from $333,000 and $744,000, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. These increases were primarily attributable to an increase in pre-tax income. 12 Average Balance Sheet and Yield/Rate Analysis. The following tables set forth, for periods indicated, information concerning the total dollar amounts of interest income from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average costs, net interest income, interest rate spread and the net interest margin earned on average interest-earning assets. For purposes of this table, average loan balances include non-accrual loans and exclude the allowance for loan losses, and interest income includes accretion of net deferred loan fees. Interest and yields on tax-exempt securities (tax-exempt for federal income tax purposes) are shown on a fully tax equivalent basis. Yields and rates have been calculated on an annualized basis utilizing monthly interest amounts.

Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income. The following tables analyzes the changes in interest income and interest expense, between the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, in terms of: (1) changes in volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and (2) changes in yields and rates. The tables reflect the extent to which changes in the Company's interest income and interest expense are attributable to changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior period volume), changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior period rate) and changes attributable to the combined impact of volume/rate (change in rate multiplied by change in volume). The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume/rate are allocated on a consistent basis between the volume and rate variances. Changes in interest income on securities reflects the changes in interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis. 14 The table analyzing changes in interest income between the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 is presented as follows:

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGMENT The primary objective of the Company's asset and liability management function is to maximize the Company's net interest income while simultaneously maintaining an acceptable level of interest rate risk given the Company's operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements, performance objectives and overall business focus. The principal determinant of the exposure of the Company's earnings to interest rate risk is the timing difference between the repricing or maturity of interest-earning assets and the repricing or maturity of its interest-bearing liabilities. The Company's asset and liability management policies have decreased interest rate sensitivity primarily by shortening the maturities of interest-earning assets while at the same time extending the maturities of interest-bearing liabilities. The Board of Directors of the Company continues to believe in strong asset/liability management in order to insulate the Company from material and prolonged increases in interest rates. As a result of this policy, the Company emphasizes a larger, more diversified portfolio of residential mortgage loans in the form of mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities generally increase the 15 quality of the Company's assets by virtue of the insurance or guarantees that back them, are more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize borrowings or other obligations of the Company. The Company's Board of Directors has established an Asset and Liability Management Committee consisting of two outside directors, the President and Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President of Operations and the Senior Vice President of Lending of the Company. This committee, which meets quarterly, generally monitors various asset and liability management policies which were implemented by the Company over the past few years. These strategies have included: (i) an emphasis on the investment in adjustable-rate and shorter duration mortgage-backed securities and (ii) an emphasis on the origination of single-family residential adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), residential construction loans and commercial real estate loans, which generally have adjustable or floating interest rates and/or shorter maturities than traditional single-family residential loans, and consumer loans, which generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than mortgage loans. As of June 30, 1998, the implementation of these asset and liability initiatives resulted in the following: (i) $190.0 million or 50.9% of the Company's total loan portfolio had adjustable interest rates or maturities of 12 months or less; (ii) $126.0 million or 48.9% of the Company's portfolio of single-family residential mortgage loans (including residential construction loans) consisted of ARMs and (iii) $132.7 million or 33.6% of the Company's portfolio of mortgage-backed securities (including mortgage-backed securities available for sale) were secured by ARMs. The implementation of the foregoing asset and liability initiatives and strategies, combined with other external factors such as demand for the Company's products and economic and interest rate environments in general, has resulted in the Company being able to maintain a one-year interest rate sensitivity gap ranging between a positive 5.0% of total assets to a negative 15.0% of total assets. The one-year interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the Company's interest-earning assets which are scheduled to mature or reprice within one year and its interest-bearing liabilities which are scheduled to mature or reprice within one year. At June 30, 1998, the Company's interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one year totaled $341.1 million while the Company's interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one-year totaled $372.3 million, providing a deficiency of interest-earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities of $31.2 million or a negative 3.3% of total assets. At June 30, 1998, the percentage of the Company's assets to liabilities maturing or repricing within one year was 91.6%. The Company does not presently anticipate that its one-year interest rate sensitivity gap will fluctuate beyond a range of a positive 5.0% of total assets to a negative 15.0% of total assets. The one year interest rate sensitivity gap has been the most common industry standard used to measure an institution's interest rate risk position. The Company also utilizes income simulation modeling in measuring its interest rate risk and managing its interest rate sensitivity. The Asset and Liability Management Committee of the Company believes that simulation modeling enables the Company to more accurately evaluate and manage the possible effects on net interest income due to the exposure to changing market interest rates, the slope of the yield curve and different prepayment and decay assumptions under various interest rate scenarios. At June 30, 1998, the Company's simulation model indicated that the Company's statement of financial condition is liability sensitive. Within the past 19 months, the Company has purchased interest rate cap contracts with notional amounts totaling $120.0. million in order to insulate against a rising interest rate environment. As such, in a 300 basis point gradually rising rate environment over 24 months, with minor changes in the statement of condition and limited reinvestment changes, net interest income is projected to increase by approximately 5.5% over such 24 month period. 16 LIQUIDITY The Bank is required by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") to maintain minimum levels of liquidity to assure its ability to meet demands for customers withdrawals and the repayment of short term borrowings. The liquidity requirement is calculated as a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings, as defined by the OTS, and currently must be maintained at amounts not less than 4.0%. The Bank's liquidity ratios fluctuate depending primarily upon deposit flows but have been consistently maintained at levels in excess of the required percentage. At June 30, 1998, the Bank's liquidity ratio was 21.6% The Company's primary sources of funds generally have been deposits obtained through the offices of the Bank, borrowings from the FHLB, reverse repurchase agreement borrowings and amortization and prepayments of outstanding loans and maturing investment securities. During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company used its sources of funds primarily to purchase securities, and to a lesser extent, the funding of loan commitments. As of such date, the Company had outstanding loan commitments totaling $18.7 million, unused lines of credit totaling $24.3 million and $12.6 million of undisbursed loans in process. At June 30, 1998, certificates of deposits amounted to $250.9 million or 61.4% of the Company's total consolidated deposits, including $147.7 million which were scheduled to mature by June 30, 1999. At the same date, the total amount of FHLB advances which were scheduled to mature by June 30, 1999 was $121.0 million. Management of the Company believes that it has adequate resources to fund all of its commitments, that all of its commitments will be funded by June 30, 1999 and that, based upon past experience and current pricing policies, it can adjust the rates of savings certificates to retain a substantial portion of its maturing certificates and also, to the extent deemed necessary, refinance the maturing FHLB advances. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS Current regulatory requirements specify that the Bank and similar institutions must maintain tangible capital equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets, core capital equal to 3% of adjusted total assets and risk-based capital equal to 8% of risk-weighted assets. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC have adopted more stringent core capital requirements which require that the most highly rated banks have a minimum core capital ratio of 3%, with an additional 100 to 200 basis point cushion required for all other banks as established by the regulator on a case-by-case basis. Both the FDIC and the OTS reserve the right to apply this higher standard to any insured financial institution when considering an institution's capital adequacy. At June 30, 1998, the Bank was in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements with tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios of 6.7%, 6.7% and 17.9%, respectively. RECENT ACCOUNTING, REGULATORY AND OTHER MATTERS The Management Discussion and Analysis section of this Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These forward-looking statements may involve significant risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from the results in these forward-looking statements. The OTS and other federal banking regulators have issued guidelines to assure that insured depository institutions appropriately address Year 2000 issues, which primarily center on the ability of computer systems to recognize the year 2000. The Company has instituted an Action Plan for the Year 2000 that consists of five phases: Awareness, Assessment, Renovation, Validation and Implementation. The Plan includes the assessment of all internal programs, systems and data processing applications as well as those provided by third-party vendors. The Company is currently in the Renovation phase and anticipates completion of this phase by December 31, 1998. Validation and testing will begin in the third quarter of 1998 with an anticipated completion date of March 31, 1999. 17 The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to identify, correct or reprogram, and test systems for Year 2000 compliance. A significant portion of the Company's data processing is provided by a third-party vendor which the Company anticipates will be compliant with Year 2000 issues on a timely basis. The Company will be developing contingency plans that would be implemented should any applications or systems fail to be Year 2000 compliant. Direct and indirect costs associated with Year 2000 issues have not had a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements to date and management does not anticipate that any such future costs will be of a material nature. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. Management has not yet determined the impact of this statement on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. This statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Earlier application of all of the provisions of the statement is permitted only as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter that begins after the statement's issue date. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are presented at December 31, 1997 in Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 30, 1998. Management believes there have been no material changes in the Company's market risk since December 31, 1997. 18 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
