Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Financial Condition

Total assets at March 31, 2000 were $1.589 billion, a decrease of $1.6 million,
compared to $1.591 billion at December 31, 1999.

Loans receivable, net, increased by $19.9 million, or 1.9%, to a balance of
$1.063 billion at March 31, 2000, compared to a balance of $1.043 billion at
December 31, 1999. The increase was largely attributable to commercial lending
(including commercial real estate) initiatives which accounted for $8.9 million
of this growth. Deposit balances increased $21.0 million to $1.078 billion at
March 31, 2000 from $1.057 billion at December 31, 1999, partly due to the
results of new branches opened in late 1999.

Stockholder's equity at March 31, 2000 was $159.3 million, compared to $167.5
million at December 31, 1999. The Company repurchased 620,600 shares of common
stock during the quarter for $9.8 million. Under the 10% repurchase program
authorized by the Board of Directors in January 2000, 641,492 shares remain to
be purchased as of March 31, 2000.

                                       6

Results of Operations

General

Net income increased 4.3%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
2000 as compared to net income of $4.1 million for the three months ended March
31, 1999. Diluted earnings per share increased 18.2% to $.39 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to $.33 for the same prior year period.
The higher percentage increase in earnings per share is the result of the
Company's repurchase program which reduced the number of shares outstanding.

Interest Income

Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $28.1 million,
compared to $26.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, an increase
of $2.1 million reflecting a $45.0 million increase in average interest-earning
assets and a higher average yield on those assets. The yield on average
interest-earning assets increased to 7.34% on average in the first quarter of
2000, from 7.01% on average in the first quarter of 1999. The asset yield
benefited from a change in the mix of average interest-earning assets towards a
higher concentration of loans receivable with a corresponding reduction of
lower-yielding investment and mortgage-backed securities. For the three months
ended March 31, 2000 loans receivable represented 68.7% of average
interest-earning assets as compared to 64.6% for the same prior year period.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $15.4 million,
compared to $14.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, an increase
of $1.1 million, or 8.0%. The increase in interest expense was primarily the
result of an increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities which
rose to 4.49% for the three months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to 4.38%
for the same prior year period and an increase in average interest-bearing
liabilities which rose to $1.375 billion for the quarter ending March 31, 2000
as compared to $1.306 billion for the same prior year period. The increase in
funding costs was partly restrained, as compared to the larger increase in asset
yield, due to the Company's focus on lower costing core deposit growth. Core
deposits (including noninterest-bearing deposits) represented 37.7% of average
deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to 36.4% for the
same prior year period.

Provision for Loan Losses

For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company's provision for loan
losses was $240,000, as compared to $225,000 for the same prior year period. The
Company's non-performing assets increased slightly to $3.4 million at March 31,
2000 as compared to $3.3 million at March 31, 1999.

Other Income

Other income was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000,
compared to $1.5 million for the same prior year period. The Company sold $27.1
million of 30-year fixed-rate loans for the three months ended March 31, 1999 at
a gain of $524,000, which completed a balance sheet restructuring begun in the
fourth quarter of 1998. For the three months ended March 31, 2000 the Company
sold $4.2 million of 30-year fixed-rate loans at a gain of $60,000. The Company
periodically sells these loans to assist in the management of interest rate
risk. Excluding the respective gains on the sale of loans, other income
increased by $249,000, or 24.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to the same prior year period. Fees and service charges increased due
to the growth in commercial account services and retail core account balances.
The Company continues to focus on growing non-interest revenue with the recent
introduction of Trust and Asset Management services.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000,
an increase of $602,000 as compared to the same prior year period. The increase
was principally due to the costs associated with the opening of the Bank's
twelfth and thirteenth branch offices in September and October 1999 and the
introduction of the Company's Trust and Asset Management business line. These
increases were partly offset by a $100,000 decrease in Federal Deposit insurance
due to a decline in the assessment rate for members, such as the Bank, of the
Savings Association Insurance Fund.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000,
compared to $2.3 million for the same prior year period. The effective tax rate
declined to 34.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to
35.8% for the same prior year period partly due to an increase in the nontaxable
income from Bank Owned Life Insurance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest
payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") and other borrowings and, to a lesser extent, investment maturities and
proceeds from the sale of loans. While scheduled amortization of loans is a
predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly
influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The
Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises,
including an overnight line of credit and advances from the FHLB.

At March 31, 2000, the Company had $23.0 million of outstanding overnight
borrowings from the FHLB, an increase from no overnight borrowings at December
31, 1999. The Company utilizes the overnight line from time to time to fund
short-term liquidity needs. The Company also had other borrowings of $316.4
million at March 31, 2000, a decrease from $354.9 million at December 31, 1999.
These borrowings were used to fund a wholesale leverage strategy designed to
improve returns on invested capital.

The Company's cash needs for the three months ended March 31, 2000, were
primarily provided by principal payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities
and increased deposits. The cash was principally utilized for loan originations,
a reduction in total borrowings and the purchase of treasury stock. For the
three months ended March 31, 1999, the cash needs of the Company were primarily
satisfied by maturities of investment securities available for sale, principal
payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the sale of
mortgage loans held for sale and increased borrowings. The cash provided was
principally used for the purchase of investment and mortgage-backed securities,
the origination of loans and the purchase of treasury stock.

Federal regulations require the Bank to maintain minimum levels of liquid
assets. The required percentage has varied from time to time based upon economic
conditions and savings flows and is currently 4% of net withdrawable savings
deposits and borrowings payable on demand or in one year or less during the
preceding calendar month. Liquid assets for purposes of this ratio include cash,
accrued interest receivable, certain time deposits, U.S. Treasury and Government
agencies and other securities and obligations generally having remaining
maturities of less than five years. The levels of these assets are dependent on
the Bank's operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any
given period. As of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Bank's liquidity
ratios were 7.5% and 8.9%, respectively, both in excess of the minimum
regulatory requirement.

At March 31, 2000, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements
with tangible capital of $125.3 million, or 7.8%, of total adjusted assets,
which is above the required level of $24.0 million or 1.5%; core capital of
$125.3 million or 7.8% of total adjusted assets, which is above the required
level of $48.0 million, or 3.0%; and risk-based capital of $133.7 million, or
15.7% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $68.0
million or 8.0%. The Bank is considered a "well capitalized" institution under
the Office of Thrift Supervision's prompt corrective action regulations.

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act Safe Harbor Statement

In addition to historical information, this quarterly report may include certain
forward looking statements based on current management expectations. The
Company's actual results could differ materially from those management
expectations. Factors that could cause future results to vary from current
management expectations include, but are not limited to, general economic
conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of
the federal government, changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of
federal and state tax authorities, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, the
cost of funds, demand for loan products, demand for financial services,
competition, changes in the quality or composition of the Bank's loan and
investment portfolios, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines,
and other economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors
affecting the Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices.
Further description of the risks and uncertainties to the business are included

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

The Company's interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through the
use of an interest rate risk (IRR) model. Based on internal IRR modeling the
Company's one year gap at March 31, 2000 was negative 14.2% as compared to
negative 11.8% at December 31, 1999. Additionally, the table below sets forth
the Company's exposure to interest rate risk as measured by the change in net
portfolio value ("NPV") and net interest income under varying rate shocks as of
March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999. All methods used to measure interest rate
sensitivity involve the use of assumptions, which may tend to oversimplify the
manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest
rates. The Company's interest rate sensitivity should be reviewed in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's
Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1999.

At March 31, 2000, the Company's NPV in a static rate environment is less than
the NPV at December 31, 1999, reflecting the Company's declining capital levels
resulting from common stock repurchase programs. Also, in a shocked interest
rate environment, the Company projects a greater percent change in NPV at March
31, 2000 than was the case at December 31, 1999. The heightened interest rate
sensitivity is primarily due to the declining capital base which accentuates, on
a percentage basis, similar dollar changes in NPV. Additionally, the generally
higher interest rate environment reduces anticipated prepayment speeds on
mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities and reduces the likelihood that a
callable security is called before its stated maturity date.
