PULASKI FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Pulaski Financial Corp. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries,
Pulaski Bank (the "Bank") and Pulaski Service Corporation. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
On December 2, 1998, the conversion of Pulaski Bancshares, M.H.C. from a
federal mutual holding company to a stock holding company was completed,
resulting in the Company becoming the holding company for the Bank. In
connection with the Conversion and Reorganization, the Company sold
2,909,500 shares of its common stock to the public at $10 per share in a
public offering ("Offering"), including 232,760 shares purchased by the
Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan. In addition, 1,056,003 shares of
common stock of the Company were issued in exchange for shares of stock of
the Bank previously held by public stockholders at an exchange ratio of
1.6608 shares for each share of Bank common stock, resulting in 3,965,503
shares of common stock of the Company outstanding upon the completion of
the Conversion and Reorganization. The Company has no significant assets,
other than all of the outstanding shares of the Bank and the portion of the
net proceeds from the Offering retained by the Company, and no significant
liabilities. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report,
including the consolidated financial statements and related financial data,
relates primarily to the Bank. The Company operates as a single business
segment, providing traditional community banking services through its full
service branch network.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
condition of the Company as of June 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999 and its
results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30,
2000 and 1999. The results of operations for the three and nine month
periods ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results
which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These unaudited
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended
September 30, 1999 contained in the Company's 1999 Annual Report to
Stockholders which is filed as an exhibit to the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1999.

Anti-dilutive shares 5,391 9,555 22,136 n/m
========= ========= =========
Under the Treasury Stock method, outstanding stock options are dilutive
when the average market price of the Company's common stock exceeds the
option price during a period. In addition, proceeds from the assumed
exercise of dilutive options along with the related tax benefit are assumed
to be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price of such
stock during the period. Anti-dilutive shares are those option shares with
exercise prices in excess of the current market value. Earnings per share
for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 are not meaningful because the
conversion and reorganization was completed December 2, 1998.
3. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
Restricted Stock - On January 21, 2000, shareholders approved a Management
Recognition and Development Plan ("MRDP") granting up to 116,380 shares of
restricted stock to be awarded to participants. On that same day, the Board
of Directors approved awards of 112,307 shares. The restricted stock awards
vest over a five-year period. The 112,307 shares of stock were issued from
Treasury Stock on the date of the grant. The Company recorded the stock
award at market value ($10.69 per share) as unearned MRDP shares in
stockholder's equity and will amortize the unearned MRDP shares to
compensation expense over the vesting period.
As a result of the declaration of a special cash dividend of $4.00 per
share (see Note 4), dividends of approximately $449,000 will be paid on
unvested shares included in the Company's MRDP, and accounted for as
compensation expense. On or about September 1, 2000 (the payment date for
the special cash dividend) unearned MRDP shares will be reduced, with a
corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital, to reflect the
reduction in the value of the shares held by the Plan.
Stock Option Plan - On January 21, 2000, as a result of shareholder
approval on that date of the Company's Stock-Based Incentive Plan, the
Company granted options to purchase 258,979 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $10.69 per share to officers and directors of the Company
and the Bank. As a result of the special cash dividend (see Note 4), the
option exercise price will be repriced on or about September 5, 2000, the
x-dividend date, to reflect the proportional change in value.
Employee Stock Option Plan - It is anticipated that the special cash
distribution to be received by the ESOP will be used to prepay a portion of
the internally financed debt obligation. This resulted in a charge of
approximately $906,000 to compensation expense in the March 2000 quarter
related to the commitment to release additional shares to plan
participants. This compensation charge will not be deductible for income
tax purposes and results in an abnormal tax rate for the period. Fewer
shares will remain to be allocated in the future as a result of this
accelerated allocation.

4. DECLARATION OF $4.00 PER SHARE SPECIAL CASH DISTRIBUTION
On March 31, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a special cash
distribution in the amount of $4.00 per share. The dividend will be paid on
September 1, 2000. Under NASDAQ stock market rules, the x-dividend date for
the distribution is September 5, 2000. Management expects that it is likely
that most, if not all, of that dividend will be considered a non-taxable
return of capital, although the exact amount of the distribution that could
be considered non-taxable cannot be confirmed until the Company's operating
results for the tax year ending September 30, 2000 have been determined.
The amount of the special cash distribution that would be treated as a
return of capital would be considered a reduction in the cost basis of each
share and will not be subject to income tax as a dividend to shareholders.
Based upon outstanding shares as of June 30, the Company has recorded an
accrual of approximately $13.0 million to reflect this special dividend
payable.
5. RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to 1999 amounts to conform to the
2000 presentation and are not material.
6. RESTATEMENT
In September 2000, the Company paid a $4.00 a share return of capital (see
Note 4) to the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). Subsequent
to the issuance of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the
nine months ended June 30, 2000, a determination was made by the Company
that the compensation expense (approximately $906,000) associated with the
payment of the $4.00 return of capital to the Employees Stock Ownership
Plan would not be deductible for income tax purposes. In addition, the
Company determined that the actual number of unallocated ESOP shares which
were subject to the $4.00 a share return of capital was 213,363, rather
than 209,484 as previously reported. These additional shares resulted in
additional compensation expense of approximately $33,000. As a result, the
consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended June
30, 2000 have been restated from amounts previously reported.
A summary of the significant effects of the restatement is as follows:

Restatement
In September 2000, the Company paid a $4.00 a share return of capital (see Note
4 to the consolidated financial statements) to the Company's Employee Stock
Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's
consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended June 30, 2000, a
determination was made by the Company that the compensation expense
(approximately $906,000) associated with the payment of the $4.00 return of
capital to the Employees Stock Ownership Plan would not be deductible for income
tax purposes. In addition, the Company determined that the actual number of
unallocated ESOP shares which were subject to the $4.00 a share return of
capital was 213,363, rather than 209,484 as previously reported. These
additional shares resulted in additional compensation expense of approximately
$33,000. As a result, the consolidated financial statements as of and for the
nine months ended June 30, 2000 have been restated from amounts previously
reported (see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements).
General
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and
results of operations of the Company. The information contained in this section
should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes thereto.
Financial Condition
Total assets at June 30, 2000 were $275.6 million, an increase of $31.6 million
from $244.0 million at September 30, 1999. The increase in total assets was
primarily attributable to increases in loans receivable and loans held for sale,
offset by a decrease in mortgage-backed securities and investment securities.
-10-
<PAGE>
Loans receivable increased $24.8 million from $181.5 million at September 30,
1999 to $206.3 million at June 30, 2000. The increase was largely due to a
greater volume of non-conforming (to secondary market guidelines) loans
originated for portfolio. Non-conforming loans are usually characterized as
having credit histories, and/or underwriting qualities that render them
unsaleable to secondary markets. The Bank provides financing for these mortgage
loans at higher rates, subject to well-defined underwriting criteria. Non-
conforming loans have increased as a result of hiring nine commissioned loan
officers capable of generating larger volumes of higher yielding assets. Home
Equity Line of Credit loans have grown $7.4 million, from $5.0 million at
September 30, 1999 to $12.4 million at June 30, 2000, this growth in prime-based
adjustable loans has been offset by a decline in the amount of consumer loans
(primarily indirect auto loans) which were $33.8 million at September 30, 1999
and are $26.1 million at June 30, 2000. Management of the Bank has made
origination of Home Equity Lines of Credit loans a priority, and has been able
to fund this product with the cash flows generated from the normal amortization
and prepayments generated by the consumer loan portfolio.
Cash and cash equivalents increased slightly, from $8.9 million at September 30,
1999 to $9.4 million at June 30, 2000. Investments and debt securities declined
from $13.2 million at September 30, 1999 to $11.4 million at June 30, 2000.
Mortgage-backed securities decreased from $25.4 million at September 30, 1999 to
$23.2 million at June 30, 2000 as a result of regular amortization and
prepayments. No new investments have been made in mortgage-backed securities.
Total liabilities at June 30, 2000 were $243.8 million, an increase of $49.7
million from $194.1 million at September 30, 1999. The increase in total
liabilities was primarily attributable to recording a special $4.00 return of
capital dividend, payable in September 2000, and increased borrowings from the
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), offset by a reduction in borrowers' escrow funds
for payment of real estate taxes and insurance and a decline in total deposits.
On March 31, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a special
$4.00 per share dividend payable September 1, 2000. Management expects that it
is likely that most, if not all, of that dividend will be considered a
non-taxable return of capital, although the exact amount of the distribution
that could be considered non-taxable cannot be confirmed until the Company's
operating results for the tax year ending September 30, 2000 have been
determined. The amount of the special cash distribution that would be treated as
a return of capital would be considered a reduction in the cost basis of each
share and will not be subject to income tax as a dividend to shareholders. Based
upon current outstanding shares, the Company has recorded an accrual of
approximately $13.0 million to reflect this special dividend payable. The
Company is continuing in its authorized share repurchase program, and
consequently, this ultimate liability may decrease if additional shares are
repurchased.
Deposit account balances declined from $161.3 million at September 30, 1999 to
$159.7 million at June 30, 2000. The Bank's checking and money market accounts
increased $3.3 million since September 30, 1999 to $35.3 million, but this
growth was offset by a decline of $5.0 million in the passbook and certificate
balances that was attributed to the closing in September 1999 of a branch office
located in Sunset Hills, Missouri. A new branch office was opened in February
2000 in St. Charles County, Missouri. Deposit growth at the new St. Charles
office has surpassed management's budgeted expectations in its first five months
of operations.
Borrowings increased $39.0 million, from $28.6 million at September 30, 1999 to
$67.6 million at June 30, 2000; as proceeds were used to fund portfolio loan
growth, deposit outflow and payment of borrowers escrowed real estate taxes of
approximately $2.6 million in December 1999.
Total stockholders' equity at June 30, 2000 was $31.4 million, a decrease of
$18.5 million from the $49.9 million at September 30, 1999. The decrease is
primarily attributable to declaration of a special dividend, and the repurchase
of 658,795 shares for $7.6 million, payment of regular dividends of $870,000,
increase in the
-11-
<PAGE>
amount of unrealized losses on securities held for sale of $154,000, and net
income for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 of $491,000. The book value of
one share of stock declined from $13.22 at September 30, 1999, to $9.67 at June
30, 2000, and reflects the impact of the special $4.00 per share dividend
declared March 31, 2000 and treasury stock repurchases.
Non-Performing Assets and Delinquencies
Non-accrual loans amounted to $225,000 at June 30, 2000 as compared to $258,000
at September 30, 1999. The non-accrual loans consisted primarily of single-
family residential loans. Accruing loans that were contractually past due 90
days or more at June 30, 2000 amounted to $1.5 million, of which $447,000 were
FHA/VA government-insured loans, compared to $363,000 of FHA/VA loans at
September 30, 1999. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans, net of
allowance for losses decreased to $60,000 at June 30, 2000 from $228,000 at
September 30, 1999, and consisted of single-family residences. The allowance for
loan losses was $1.2 million at June 30, 2000, or .56% of total loans and 71% of
non-performing loans (non-accrual loans and accruing loans past due 90 days or
more), compared with $986,000 at September 30, 1999 or .52% of total loans and
70% of non-performing loans.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30,
2000 and 1999:
All trends for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 are reflective of
the trends for the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, in all
material respects, unless otherwise noted.
General
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $670,000, compared to
net income of $575,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Net income for
the nine months ended June 30, 2000 was $491,000 compared to the nine-month
period ended June 30, 1999 of $1.6 million
Interest Income
Interest income increased $792,000, or 21% for the three months ended June 30,
2000, compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase resulted
primarily from an increase in interest on loans of $736,000, as well as an
increase of $182,000 in interest on mortgage-backed securities. These increases
were offset by a decrease in interest on investments of $62,000, and decreased
income on overnight investments of $64,000.
The increase in interest income on loans resulted from an increase in the
average balance of loans outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 1999 of
$175.2 million to $209.7 million at June 30, 2000. The weighted average yield on
loans increased from 7.39% to 7.58% over the same time period.
The increase in interest income from mortgage-backed securities resulted
primarily from an increase in the average balance from $12.2 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 to $23.5 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2000, offset by a reduction in the weighted average yield from 7.97% in 1999 to
7.26% in 2000. The decrease in the average yield was a reflection of the
amortization and prepayment of older higher rate securities, and the purchase of
approximately $20.0 million of lower coupon securities in June 1999.
The decrease in income from investments was due to a decline in the average
balance, from $17.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $11.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, as maturing
-12-
<PAGE>
securities, as well as funds invested in overnight deposits were used to fund
additional lending activity and stock repurchases. The average balance of
overnight deposits decreased from $12.2 million for the June 1999 quarter to
$5.3 million for the June 2000 quarter. The weighted average yield on
investments increased from 5.39% to 6.11%, and the weighted average rate on
overnight funds increased from 4.66% to 6.16% over the same period of time. The
rate increases reflect the upward movement in interest rates during the period.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $661,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000
compared to the same period last year. The additional expense resulted primarily
from increased interest expense of $686,000 on borrowings from the FHLB. The
average balance of borrowings increased from $7.9 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1999 to $50.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. The weighted
average rate on FHLB borrowings increased from 5.82% for the quarter ended June
30, 1999 to 6.38% for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. The increase of advances
was used to fund loan originations, purchase mortgage-backed securities, fund
net savings withdrawals and to pay borrowers' funds escrowed for annual real
estate taxes.
Interest on deposits declined $25,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
compared to the same quarter of the prior year, due to a decrease in the average
balance from $158.4 million for the June 1999 quarter to $156.9 million for the
June 2000 quarter, a decline of about 1%.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $165,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2000 compared to $61,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Management of
the Bank deemed it appropriate to increase the provision for loan losses after
considering the increase in total non-performing loans, and the increase in
consumer loan charge offs.
Non-performing loans were $1.8 million at June 30, 2000, compared to $1.4
million at September 30, 1999. Net charge offs were $78,000 for the June 2000
quarter as a result of losses sustained from auto loans. The Bank discontinued
significant investment in auto loans in June of 1999, and decided to emphasize
home equity lines of credit, which are prime-based adjustable loans.
The provision for loan losses has increased from $144,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1999 to $363,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 in
response to the changes in delinquencies and charge offs, and because the Bank's
investment in high loan to value residential loans and home equity loans has
increased. Loans up to 100% of the purchase price are made to borrowers having
excellent credit histories and meeting specific underwriting guidelines. To
date, the balances in these high loan to value category of loans is less than 6%
of total outstanding loans. The Company closely monitors delinquencies on these
loans.
The provision for loan losses is determined by management as the amount to be
added to the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted
to bring the allowance to a level, which is considered adequate to absorb losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. Because management adheres to specific loan
underwriting guidelines focusing on mortgage loans secured by one-to-four-family
residences, the Bank's historical loan loss experience has been low. No
assurances, however, can be given as to future loan loss levels.

<PAGE>
OTHER INCOME
Other income increased $335,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
$520,000 to $855,000. The increase in other income was the result of an increase
in mortgage revenues of $215,000, increased retail banking fees of $125,000,
other income of $32,000 offset by a decline in insurance commissions of $38,000
Mortgage revenues increased $215,000, or 79%, from $273,000 for the June 30,
1999 quarter, to $487,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. For the
nine-month period ended June 30, 2000, total mortgage revenues were $982,000
compared to $867,000 for the same period one year ago. The revenues were
generated primarily from sales of loans to investors, with servicing released.
The volume of loans sold for the three months ended June 30, 2000 increased 39%
over the three months ended June 30, 1999. The higher volume of loans sold is
the result of addition of 11 commissioned loan officers managers and staff this
year. For the nine month period ended June 30, 2000, the volume of loans sold
was 10% less than in the nine month period ended June 30, 1999.
Retail banking fees rose 31% from $132,000 in the June 30, 1999 quarter, to
$258,000 in the June 30, 2000 quarter. Year to date fees have grown 90%, from
$330,000 in fiscal 1999 to $626,000, providing $296,000 additional revenue this
year. Management continues to focus on growth of checking accounts, and has seen
the number of total checking accounts increase 25%, from 7,800 at September 30,
1999 to 9,700 currently.
Other income increased $32,000 over the three months ended June 30, 1999 and
$71,000 over the nine month period ended June 30, 1999. The increase was
primarily the result of increased dividends on the stock of the FHLB. Stock
purchases are required to support additional borrowings at the FHLB. The Bank
has increased its stock investment $1.9 million this year. Insurance commissions
declined as a result of the sale of the property and casualty book of business,
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.
OTHER EXPENSES
Other expenses increased $263,000, from $1.6 million in the June 1999 quarter to
$1.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. The increase was primarily due
to increases in compensation expense of $251,000; occupancy, equipment and data
processing expense of $77,000, offset by decreases in miscellaneous expenses of
$63,000. For the nine-month period, other expenses have increased $2.3 million,
from $4.7 million in fiscal 1999, to $7.0 million in fiscal 2000. Compensation
expense increased $1.9 million over the prior year, but includes $1.4 million of
compensation expense resulting from the accelerated release of shares of stock
for benefit of the employees stock ownership program and dividends on unvested
shares of restricted stock awards. These expenses are expected to be
non-recurring, and are further expected to result in reduced compensation
expense in future periods.
Occupancy and equipment expenses increased from $342,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 to $419,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 due to
higher rent and depreciation expenses. Capital improvements of approximately
$1.0 million have been made to upgrade existing offices and to equip the new
branch location in St. Charles. Compensation expense for the June 2000 quarter
rose as a result of increases in benefits expenses, higher compensation expense
relating to restricted stock awards, and higher amounts paid to loan origination
employees in connection with the largest quarterly volume of loans closed in the
history of the Bank. Lending volume increased from $46.1 million for the June
30, 1999 quarter, to $71.8 million for the June 30, 2000 quarter.
Professional services expense decreased from $116,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 1999 to $97,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. Year to date,
professional services increased $131,000, from $235,000 for the nine-month
period ended June 30, 1999 to $366,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2000,
and were primarily associated with the special $4.00 return of capital dividend.
-14-
<PAGE>
Other expenses decreased $16,000 for the quarter, but for the nine months ended
June 30, 2000, other expenses have risen $114,000 from $589,000 for the June 30,
1999 period, to $703,000 for the June 30, 2000 period, primarily as a result of
increased purchases of stationery and supplies, and losses on dispositions of
foreclosed properties, increased postage expense, and costs associated with home
equity lines of credit.
INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes of $367,000 for the three-month period ended June
30, 2000, was little changed compared to the three-month period expense of
$364,000 for June 30, 1999. For the nine months year to date, taxes have
decreased from $968,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 to $786,000 for
the nine months ended June 30, 2000. The decrease was primarily attributable to
the net operating loss recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2000 that
primarily resulted from the recording of compensation expense of approximately
$1.4 million associated with the recording of the special $4.00 per share cash
dividend. Approximately $906,000 of that compensation expense relates to the
commitment to release additional shares to participants in the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan. This compensation expense will be non-deductible for income tax
purposes, and results in an abnormal tax rate for the year to date.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Federal regulations require the Bank to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets
(i.e., cash and eligible investments). The required percentage has varied from
time to time based upon economic conditions and savings flows and is currently
4% of the average daily balance of its net withdrawable savings deposits and
short-term borrowings. The Bank attempts to maintain levels of liquidity at
levels in excess of those required by regulation. Maintaining levels of
liquidity acts, in part, to reduce the Company's balance sheet exposure to
interest rate risk. For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Bank's average
liquidity ratio (liquid assets as a percentage of net withdrawable savings
deposits and short-term borrowings) was 20.78%.
The Bank must also maintain adequate levels of liquidity to ensure the
availability of funds to satisfy loan commitments and deposit withdrawals. At
June 30, 2000, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $7.2
million, and commitments to sell loans, on a best-efforts basis of $19.6
million. At the same date, certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature
in one year or less totaled $75.8 million. Based on past experience, management
believes the majority of maturing certificates of deposit will remain with the
Bank.
Management believes its ability to generate funds internally will satisfy its
liquidity requirements for funding of loans and withdrawals of deposits. If the
Bank or the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them
internally, the Bank has the ability to borrow funds from the FHLB under a
blanket agreement which assigns all investments in FHLB stock as well as
qualifying first mortgage loans equal to 125% of the outstanding advances as
collateral to secure the amounts borrowed. At June 30, 2000, the Bank had
approximately $63.8 million available to it under the above-mentioned borrowing
arrangement. At June 30, 2000, the Bank had $67.6 million in advances from the
FHLB. The Company believes it has the ability to borrow from other sources.
At June 30, 2000 the Company was engaged in negotiations with another financial
institution to borrow $13.0 million in September 2000 to fund the special $4.00
cash dividend. The borrowings are expected to be short-term and prime-based. The
collateral requirement for the loan is 100% of the common stock of Pulaski Bank.
The Bank is required to maintain specific amounts of capital pursuant to Office
of Thrift Supervision (OTS) regulations on minimum capital standards. The OTS'
minimum capital standards generally require the
-15-
<PAGE>
maintenance of regulatory capital sufficient to meet each of three tests,
hereinafter described as the tangible capital requirement, the core capital
requirement and the risk-based requirement. The tangible capital requirement
provides for minimum tangible capital (defined as stockholders' equity less all
intangible assets) equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets. The core capital
requirement provides for minimum core capital (tangible capital plus certain
forms of supervisory goodwill and other qualifying intangible assets) equal to
3.0% of adjusted total assets. The risk-based capital requirements provide for
the maintenance of core capital plus a portion of unallocated loss allowances
equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. In computing risk-weighted assets the
Bank multiplies the value of each asset on its balance sheet by a defined risk-
weighting factor (e.g., one- to four-family conventional residential loans carry
a risk-weighted factor of 50%).
The following table (as restated, see Note 6 to the consolidated financial
statements) illustrates the Bank's regulatory capital levels compared to its
regulatory capital requirements at June 30, 2000.
