NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements of California Community Bancshares Corporation (the
"Company") include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary
Bank, Continental Pacific Bank. Significant inter company items
and transactions have been eliminated. Such financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) and, in Management's opinion, include all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a
fair presentation of results for such interim periods. Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules or
regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures
made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.
Operating results for the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 1997.
NOTE B - ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On January 1, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This
Statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers
and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities. This standard is based on consistent application of
a financial - components approach that focuses on control. Under
this approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity
recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the
liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when
control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when
extinguished. The Company has determined that the adoption of this
standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per
Share" (SFAS 128). The Company is required to adopt SFAS 128 in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 and at that time will restate
earnings per share (EPS) data for prior periods to conform with
SFAS 128. Earlier application is not permitted.
SFAS 128 replaces current EPS reporting requirements and requires
a dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common
shareholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were exercised or converted into common stock.
<PAGE> 8
If SFAS 128 had been in effect during the current and prior year
periods, basic EPS would have been $.41 and $.38 for the quarters
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and $1.19 and $1.16 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Diluted EPS under SFAS
128 would not have been significantly different from fully diluted
EPS currently reported for the periods.
In June 1997, the FASB adopted SFAS No. 130 "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," which requires that an enterprise report, by
major components and as a single total, the change in its net
assets during the period from nonowner sources; and SFAS No. 131
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," which establishes annual and interim reporting
standards for an enterprise's operating segments and related
disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas, and
major customers. Adoption of these statements will not impact the
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows,
and any effect will be limited to the form and content of its
disclosures. Both statements are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier application
permitted.

California Community Bancshares Corporation and subsidiary (the
"Company") is a single bank holding company for Continental Pacific
Bank (the "Bank"), a California state-chartered nonmember Bank,
which has one subsidiary, Conpac Development Corporation. The
following discussion of the Company's financial condition and
results of operations is designed to provide a better understanding
of the changes and trends related to the Company's financial
condition, liquidity and capital resources. The discussion should
be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements
of the Company. The Company has not commenced any business
operations independent of the Bank; therefore, the following
discussion pertains primarily to the Bank. Average balances are
generally comprised of daily balances.
OVERVIEW
The Company posted record earnings for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1997. Net income for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 was $449,000, up 15.4% from the $389,000
posted in the third quarter of 1996. Fully diluted quarterly
earnings per share increased to $.35 from $.33 recorded in the same
period last year. Net income for the nine months ended September
30, 1997, was $1,254,000, up 10.4% from the $1,136,000 reported for
the same period in the prior year. Year to date fully diluted
earnings per share increased to $1.00 from $.96 for the prior
period.
In the third quarter of 1997, both net interest income and non
interest income increased 10.1%, improving by $193,000 and $45,000,
respectively. These improvements were offset by a $162,000 or a
9.8% increase in non interest expense.
In the first nine months of 1997, net income was improved by a
$331,000 or a 5.8% increase in net interest income offset by a
$4,000 (less than a 1.0%) decline in non interest income and a
$223,000 or a 4.5% increase in non interest expense.
Assets of the Company totalled $192.2 million at September 30,
1997, a $.4 million increase over the 1996 end of year figure.
Loans increased $7.5 million, while investments declined $1.4
million and cash and cash equivalents declined $5.4 million. On
the liabilities side of the ledger, total borrowings declined by
$1.9 million, while shareholders equity increased by $2.1 million.
During this period $1.2 million of convertible subordinated
debentures were converted to common stock.
Return on Average Assets (ROA) was .93% and Return on Average
Equity (ROE) was 11.98% in the third quarter of 1997. For the same
quarter in 1996, these ratios were .93% and 12.22%, respectively.
At September 30, 1997, the Company had a leverage capital ratio of
7.90%, a Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of 10.98% and a total
risk-based capital ratio of 13.68%. These compare to 7.04%, 9.92%
and 13.55%, respectively at December 31, 1996.
<PAGE> 10
ROA was .88% and ROE was 11.79% in the first nine months of 1997.
For the same period in 1996, these ratios were .93% and 12.03%,
respectively.
The following tables provide a summary of the major elements of
income and expense for the third quarter of 1997 compared with the
third quarter of 1996 as well as 1997 year to date income
components compared to 1996 year to date figures.

</TABLE>
NET INTEREST INCOME / NET INTEREST MARGIN
Net interest income represents the excess of interest and fees
earned on interest-earning assets over interest paid on deposits
and borrowed funds. Net interest margin is net interest income
expressed as a percentage of average interest earning assets. Net
interest income comprises the major portions of the Company's
revenues and expenses.
In the quarter ended September 30, 1997, interest income
increased $362,000 or 11.1% to $3,632,000 from the $3,270,000
reported in the same period last year. Increased average total
securities balances and average loan balances were the main factors
contributing to this increase as average rates earned on total
securities and loans each declined by approximately 9 basis points.
Average total securities were $15.8 million or 42% higher than the
average in the same period a year ago resulting in a $242,000
increase in interest income. Slight changes in rates earned on
securities reduced interest income by $14,000. In the most recent
quarter total securities (taxable securities, securities exempt
from federal tax and federal funds sold) averaged $54.0 million
compared to $38.1 million in the year ago period. Net loan
balances averaged $118.6 million in the third quarter of 1997, $6.4
million higher than average loan balances of $112.2 in the third
quarter of 1996. Increased loan volume contributed an additional
$160,000 in interest income. This increase in interest income was
offset by a 9 basis point reduction in the rate earned on loans,
declining from 9.58% in the third quarter of 1996 to 9.49% in the
current quarter. This lower rate reduced interest income by
$26,000.
<PAGE> 12
In the third quarter of 1997, interest expense increased by
$169,000 or 12.5% to $1,526,000 from the $1,357,000 recorded in
same period last year, as average interest-bearing liabilities
increased by $17.9 million. Interest paid on time deposits
increased by $162,000 or 26% as average time deposit balances
increased by $11.0 million and average interest rates paid
increased from 5.09% in the third quarter of 1996 to 5.22% in the
current quarter. While higher rates paid on time deposits
increased interest expense by $17,000, the higher volume accounted
for an increase of $145,000. Average savings deposits and money
market account balances increased by $4.0 million in the third
quarter of 1997 compared to the figures in the same period last
year while the rate paid declined by 6 basis points to 3.76%. This
increase in average balances offset partially by lower rates paid
on these accounts accounted for a net increase of $29,000 in
interest expense. A $1.2 million reduction in average convertible
subordinated debentures reduced interest expense by $33,000.
Changes in volume and rates paid in all other categories accounted
for $11,000 net increase in interest expense. Changes in average
balances within these categories were mixed, lower cost NOW
accounts and Federal Funds purchased increased by $4.4 million and
$.3 million respectively while security repurchase agreements
declined by $.7 million.
The combined effect of the increase in interest income and the
increase in interest expense in the third quarter of 1997 versus
the third quarter of 1996 was a $193,000 increase in net interest
income which totalled $2,106,000 for the current quarter.
Increased volume, which improved net interest income by $230,000,
was offset by a $37,000 reduction due to rate changes. The net
interest margin decreased 22 basis points from 5.06% to 4.84%.
In the nine months ended September 30, 1997, interest income
increased $1,005,000 or 10.5% to $10,600,000 from the $9,595,000
for the same period last year. Increased average total securities
balances and average loan balances were the major factors
contributing to this increase somewhat offset by lower rates earned
on loans, while average rates earned on total securities remained
consistent. Average total securities were $19.7 million or 56%
higher than the average for the same period in the prior year
resulting in a $880,000 increase in interest income. Slight
changes in rates earned on these securities reduced interest income
by $12,000. Year to date, 1997, total securities (taxable
securities, securities exempt from federal tax and federal funds
sold) averaged $54.7 million compared to $35.0 million in the year
ago period. Average net loan balances were $115.8 million in the
first nine months of 1997, $5.0 million higher than average loan
balances of $110.8 million in the first nine months of 1996. This
increased loan volume contributed $229,000 in additional interest
income but was offset by a 25 basis point reduction in the average
rate earned on loans. Average loan yields declined from 9.70% in
the first nine months of 1996 to 9.45% in the first nine months of
1997 reducing interest income by $92,000.
<PAGE> 13
In the first nine months of 1997, interest expense increased by
$674,000 or 17.2% to $4,583,000 from the $3,909,000 obtained in the
same period last year as average interest-bearing liabilities
increased by $21.5 million. Interest paid on time deposits
increased by $537,000 or 30% as average time deposit balances
increased by $13.3 million and average interest rates paid
increased from 5.14% to 5.21%. The increased volume in time
deposits contributed $526,000 in additional interest expense, while
the increased rates contributed $11,000. Average savings and
monthly market account balances also increased in the first nine
months of 1997 compared to the same period last year rising by $4.5
million, while the rate paid fell by 3 basis points to 3.76%. The
increase in average savings balances resulted in a $110,000
increase in interest expense. Average NOW accounts and total
average borrowings increased $4.0 million and $0.6 million,
respectively over the prior period's average. These increased
volumes increased interest expense $33,000 and $54,000,
respectively, while changes in the average rates paid resulted in
another $1,000. Due to the timing of the $1,187,000 in convertible
subordinated debentures that converted to common stock in the first
nine months of 1997, interest expense on debentures declined by
$61,000.
The combined effect of the increase in interest income and the
increase in interest expense in the first nine months of 1997
versus the first nine months of 1996 resulted in an increase of
$331,000 in net interest income totalling $6,017,000. Overall
increased volume improved net interest income by $440,000 while net
rate changes reduced net interest income by $109,000. The net
interest margin decreased 49 basis points from 5.21% to 4.72%.

</TABLE>
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
In the third quarter of 1997, the Company provided $75,000 for
loan losses versus $69,000 in the same period last year. This
provision increased the 1997 year to date provision to $244,000
versus $276,000 for the first nine months of 1996. The year to
date provision offset the net loans charged off during the period
against the allowance and added $119,000 for growth in outstanding
loans balances as well as general economic factors. The allowance
for loan losses to loans receivable at September 30, 1997 was 1.01%
up from .98% at September 30, 1996. Management's ongoing analysis
of the loan portfolio determined that the balance of $1,220,000 in
the allowance for loan losses is expected to be adequate to absorb
losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The current quarter's
$75,000 provision for loan losses deducted from the $2,106,000 net
interest income results in net interest income after provision of
$2,031,000. This figure divided by average assets is a ratio of
4.23%, slightly above the Company's short term goal of 4.00%.
<PAGE> 20
NON INTEREST INCOME
Total non interest income in the third quarter of 1997 increased
$45,000 or 10.1% from the same period last year and decreased
$4,000 or 0.3% for the first nine months of 1997 from the amount
reported for the first nine months of 1996.
Income from service charges on deposit accounts improved by 2.3%
from $222,000 obtained in the third quarter of 1996 to $227,000 in
the third quarter of 1997. Gain on sale of available for sale
securities declined from $5,000 in the third quarter of 1996 to
zero in the third quarter of 1997. Income from real estate
development was basically unchanged at $131,000 and $130,000 in the
third quarter of 1997 and 1996. Other fees and charges resulted in
the majority of the increase in non interest income, increasing by
$44,000 from the amount reported in the third quarter 1996. Fee
income on the sale of 1-4 family mortgages increased by $10,000
from $18,000 in the third quarter of 1996 to $28,000 in the current
quarter. Income from the sale of mutual funds and annuities
increased by $18,000 from $16,000 in the third quarter of 1996 to
$34,000 in the current period. Numerous other fees, such as fees
from the sale of credit card equipment and sale of assets increased
by $16,000 resulting in the net increase of $44,000 in other fees
and charges. The current quarters non interest income of $492,000
expressed as a ratio of average assets is 1.03%, slightly above the
Company's current short term goal of 1.00%.
Income from services charges on deposit accounts improved from
$623,000 in the first nine months of 1996 to $663,000 in the first
nine months of 1997. Gain on sale of available securities
increased from $8,000 in the first nine months of 1996 to $42,000
in the first nine months of 1997. Income from real estate
development was basically unchanged with income of $395,000 and
$390,000 in the first nine months of 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Significant decreases occurred in other fees and charges. The sale
and servicing of SBA loans generated fee income of $105,000 in the
first nine months of 1996 versus $22,000 in the current year as the
Bank reduced the volume of SBA loan sales, preferring to retain the
loans in its portfolio. Fee income on the sale of 1-4 family
mortgages decreased by $52,000 from $120,000 in the first nine
months of 1996 to $68,000 in the current year to date period.
Income increased by $52,000 in various other fees and services
categories resulting in an overall decline in other fees and
charges of $83,000 for the first nine months of 1997 compared to
the first nine months of 1996.
NON INTEREST EXPENSE
Non interest expense for the third quarter of 1997 was
$1,810,000, $162,000 higher than the $1,648,000 reported in the
third quarter of 1996. Salaries and benefits increased $96,000 or
12.2%. Increased bonuses and commissions contributed $63,000 of
this increase while normal salary increases and the addition of a
new branch contributed $33,000. The new branch and the remodeling
of the Company's data processing department increased occupancy
cost by $35,000 or 10.5% over the amount reported in the same
quarter of 1996. Other expenses in the current quarter were
$29,000 higher than the same quarter last year. This increase was
mainly due to increase accounting and consulting expenses.
Expenses from real estate development were relatively consistent,
increasing from $76,000 in the third quarter of 1996 to $78,000 in
the current quarter. The current quarters non interest expenses
expressed as a ratio to average assets is 3.77%.
<PAGE> 21
Non interest expense for the first nine months of 1997 was
$5,214,000, $223,000 or 4.5% higher than the $4,991,000 expensed in
the first nine months of 1996. Salaries and benefits increased by
$92,000 while occupancy expense was up $83,000 due to the new
Concord branch and the data processing office remodeling. Both
other expenses and expenses from real estate development were up
slightly, increasing by $37,000 and $11,000 respectively over the
figures reported in the prior year period.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES AND NET INCOME
The Company recorded a $264,000 provision for income taxes in the
third quarter of 1997, $10,000 higher than the provision recorded
in the same quarter last year. For the first nine months of 1997,
the company provided for $729,000 in income taxes versus $711,000
in the first nine months of 1996. Taxes were higher in both
periods due to higher earnings as well as lower income from
securities exempt from federal tax. The current quarter and year
to date effective tax rate was 37.0% and 36.8% versus 39.5% and
38.5% in the same periods last year.
The $2,031,000 net interest income after provision for loan
losses plus non interest income of $492,000 and non interest
expense of $1,810,000 resulted in income before provision for
income taxes of $713,000 or 1.49% of average assets. This is
$70,000 higher than the figure reported in the same period last
year. After deducting the provision for income taxes, net income
was $449,000 or .93% return on average assets. It is the Company's
goal to increase this ratio to 1% as soon as possible.
Management is not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties
that have had or that are reasonably expected to have a material
impact on liquidity, capital resources, or revenues or income from
continuing operations. The company is also not aware of any current
recommendations by any regulatory authority which, if they were
implemented, would have such an effect.
LOANS
At September 30, 1997, total outstanding loan balances were $7.5
million higher than year end 1996 totals. The composition of loans
also changed significantly in the first nine months of 1997.
Construction and land development loans, equity loans and consumer
loans declined by $1.0 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million,
respectively, while loans secured by 1-4 residential properties,
loans secured by multi family residential property loans, loans
secured by commercial real estate and commercial and industrial
loans increased by $1.8 million, $0.5 million, $5.4 million and
$1.6 million, respectively. The Bank's largest loan category, real
estate mortgage loans constituted 72.4% of total loans outstanding
at December 31, 1996 and 74.4% at September 30, 1997. Loan growth
is an integral component of improved earnings. A key to increasing
net interest income is to increase the loan to deposit ratio and
the ratio of loans to total earning assets. At December 31, 1996,
these ratios were 66.7% and 65.9%. At the end of the third quarter
of 1997, outstanding loans had increased 6.6%, which in turn
increased these ratios to 71.1% and 70.3%.

SECURITIES
At September 30, 1997, available for sale securities had a fair
market value of $51,161,000 with an amortized cost basis of
$51,488,000. This represents a $1.4 million net decrease in the
fair value from the year end 1996 figure. The portfolio now
consists of approximately $11.0 million U.S. Treasuries, $14.3
million U.S. Agency bonds, $4.7 million in securities issued by
states and political subdivisions in the U.S., $20.6 million in
mortgage backed securities and $.6 million in Federal Home Loan
Bank stock. Approximately 53% of the debt security portfolio is
floating rate, tied to either the 11th District Cost of Funds
Index, the one-year constant maturity treasury index or prime rate.
The fixed rate portfolio has an average maturity of 3 1/2 years.
As a result of an approximate .25% decrease in interest rates, the
unrealized loss on securities available for sale decreased from
$276,000 at December 31, 1996 to $189,000 at September 30, 1997.
Although the tax affected unrealized loss is a component of
shareholders' equity, this figure is excluded from the calculation
of regulatory capital ratios. The security portfolio is a good
source of both liquidity and income.
At September 30, 1997, the Company did not have any investment
securities issued by a single issuer, with an aggregate book value
exceeding ten percent of shareholder's equity, other than those
issued by the U.S. Government and U. S. Government agencies and
corporations.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Total nonperforming assets have increased $1,185,000 since year
end and $1,689,000 from a year ago but they have decreased by
$555,000 from the quarter ending June 30, 1997. Since year end
1996 nonaccrual loans increased by $881,000, accruing loans past
due 90 days or more decreased by $39,000 while restructured loans
increased by $297,000. One loan for $922,000 secured by commercial
offices property was placed on nonaccrual in the first quarter of
1997, due to the increased vacancy which reduced cash flow. The
Bank believes the borrower will be able to fully debt service the
loan under the original terms at the time the property becomes
approximately 90% occupied. The increase in restructured loans,
which also occurred in the first quarter of 1997, consists of three
loans to two borrowers each of which is secured by commercial
office properties. Once these properties are fully leased, the
borrower is expected to be able to fully debt service the loans
under the original terms. Also in the third quarter of 1997, the
Bank sold two other real estate owned (OREO) properties with
carrying value of $217,000 at a loss of $18,000. The Bank also
paid off the first lien on one of the remaining two OREO properties
increasing the Bank's carrying value by $77,000 to a total of
$196,000. Based on the value of these remaining properties the
Bank believes it will experience little to no loss when these
properties are sold. Non performing assets represent 1.27% of
total assets while the ratio of allowance for loan losses to
nonperforming loans is 54.22%. Management is working closely with
the above-mentioned borrowers to reduce the Bank's risk of loss as
well as continuing to make a concerted effort to reduce problem and
potential problem loans.
<PAGE> 23
At September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the recorded
investment in loans for which impairment has been recognized in
accordance with SFAS No. 114 was approximately $2,491,000 and
$2,648,000. The total allowance for loan losses related to these
loans was $475,000 and $278,000, respectively. For the quarter
ended September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the average
recorded investment in loans for which impairment has been
recognized was approximately $2,544,000 and $2,652,000. During the
portion of the quarter that the loans were impaired, the Company
recognized interest income of approximately $24,000 and $52,000
from cash payments received in 1997 and 1996.
Additional interest income on impaired loans which would have
been recognized if all such loans had been current in accordance
with their original terms totalled approximately $35,000 in the
third quarter of 1997 and $107,000 for the first nine months of
1997.
Changes in general or local economic conditions or specific
industry segments, rising interest rates, declines in real estate
values and acts of nature could have an adverse effect on the
ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans and the value of
real estate and other collateral securing such loans.
Other than the loans discussed above, management is not aware of
any loans that represent or result from trends or uncertainties
which management reasonably expects will materially impact future
operating results, liquidity or capital resources; or represent
material credits about which management is aware of information
which causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of
such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Bank maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level
considered by management to be adequate to cover the risk of loss
in the loan portfolio at a particular point in time. This
determination includes an evaluation and analysis of historical
experience, current loan mix and volume, as well as current and
projected economic conditions.

LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is measured by various ratios, the most common being
the liquidity ratio of cash, time deposits in other banks, federal
funds sold, and unpledged investment securities as a percentage of
total deposits. At September 30, 1997, this ratio was 30.1%.

In the area of interest rate sensitivity management focuses on
reducing the impact movements in interest rates would have on
interest income and the economic value of the Company. The Company
believes that keeping overall risk at a low level achieves optimal
performance. The objective is to control risks and produce
consistent, high quality earnings independent of fluctuating
interest rates. The Board of Directors and the Board Asset /
Liability Committee ("ALCO") oversees the establishment of
appropriate internal controls which are designed to ensure that
implementation of the Asset / Liability strategies remain
consistent with Asset / Liability Management Policy objectives. The
ALCO consists of all Senior Management and is charged with
implementing these strategies.
A major tool used by this Committee and the Board ALCO is the ALX
Asset / Liability computer model. This model, which is run
quarterly, measures a number of risks, including liquidity risk,
capital adequacy risk, interest rate risk and market risk. The
model analyzes the mix and repricing characteristics of interest
rate sensitive assets and liabilities using multipliers (the degree
interest rates change when the federal funds rate changes) and lags
(the time it takes rates to change after the federal funds rate
changes). The model simulates the effects on net interest income
and market risk when the federal funds rate changes. The ALCO
committee then uses this information, in conjunction with, current
and projected economic conditions and the outlook for interest
rates to set loan strategies, investment strategies and funding
strategies, which include loan and deposit pricing, volume and mix
of each asset and liability category and proposed changes to the
maturity distribution of assets and liabilities. The Asset /
Liability policy states that the Bank will monitor and limit
interest rate risk as follows:
For a 1% change in the federal funds rate, net interest income
(NII) should not change by more than 5%, and for a 2% change in the
federal funds rate, NII should not change by more that 10%. The
policy further states that the Bank will monitor and limit market
risk (in a market where interest rates have risen 3%) to 25% of
equity capital while maintaining "well capitalized" leverage and
risk based capital ratios.
At September 30, 1997, the "ALX" model showed the Bank was
moderately liability sensitive with a NII exposure of -$103,000 or
- -1.2% for a 1% increase in the federal funds rate and a -$521,000
or -6.8% exposure in NII for a 2% increase. Both of these figures
are within policy.
At September 30, 1997, market risk for a 3% increase in market
rates, as measured by the model, was -11.63% of equity capital,
which is within policy. The market risk adjusted leverage and risk
based capital ratios were 6.22% and 12.25%, respectively, which are
also within policy.
When the Company is liability sensitive, as it was at September
30, 1997, management discontinues or limits the use of longer
lagging indexes such as the 11th District Cost of Funds (COFI) for
loan pricing and switchs to more market sensitive indexes. In the
securities portfolio, the Company switchs from fixed rate
investments, as well as investments tied to lagging indexes, to
short term securities and/or to securities tied to more market
sensitive indexes. The Bank will also use interest rate swaps, when
appropriate, to reposition the Bank's interest rate risk.
