included 951 loans with a principal balance of $393.8 million (before an

status and considered impaired loans.  As of December 31, 1998, the Company's
mortgage loan portfolio included 1,343 loans with a principal balance of $552.9
million (before an allowance for loan losses of $8.0 million), of which 38 loans
with a principal balance of $5.7 million were over 90 days past due, maintained
on non-accrual status and considered impaired loans.
