JSB FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The financial information for JSB Financial, Inc. (the "Company") as
consolidated with its wholly owned subsidiary Jamaica Savings Bank FSB (the
"Bank") is prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial statements and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Such principles are applied on a basis consistent with
those reflected in the 1997 Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The financial information included herein, other than the
consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 1997, has been
prepared by management without an audit by independent certified public
accountants who do not express an opinion thereon. The consolidated statement of
financial condition as of December 31, 1997, has been derived from, but does not
include all the disclosures contained in, the audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1997. The information furnished
includes all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring
accrual adjustments which are in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of results for the interim periods. The foregoing interim results
are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year
ending December 31, 1998.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included
in the Annual Report to Stockholders for JSB Financial, Inc. for the year ended
December 31, 1997.
2. Impact of New Accounting Standards
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
("Statement 130"). Comprehensive income represents the change in equity of a
business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a
period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to
owners. Statement 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized
under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in
a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company addressed SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
("Statement 131"). The Company determined that it has no reportable segments
pursuant to the criteria presented in Statement 131, however if such reportable
segments should be determined to exist in the future, the disclosure as required
by Statement 131 would be provided.
<PAGE> 9
3. Impact of New Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted
In June of 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" ("Statement 133"). Statement 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as
derivatives) and for hedging activities. Statement 133 requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain
conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designed as (a) a hedge of
the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or
an unrecognized firm commitment, (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash
flows of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign currency
exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, an unrecognized firm
commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a foreign-currency-denominated
forecasted transaction.
The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative (that is,
gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative and the
resulting designation.
Statement 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. Initial application of this Statement should be
as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal quarter; on that date, hedging
relationships must be designated anew and documented pursuant to the provisions
of this Statement. Earlier application of all of the provisions of Statement 133
is encouraged, but it is permitted only as of the beginning of any fiscal
quarter that begins after the issuance of this Statement. Statement 133 should
not be applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods.
The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement 133 to have a
material affect on its financial condition or results of operations.

<PAGE> 11
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General/Financial Condition
- ---------------------------
JSB Financial, Inc. is a Delaware-chartered savings and loan holding
company, which owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Jamaica Savings Bank
FSB (the "Bank"). The Company's assets, including the assets of the Bank,
totaled approximately $1.56 billion at June 30, 1998. In addition to the
Company's investment in the Bank, at June 30, 1998, the Company had $37.4
million in money market investments on deposit with the Bank and $45.0 million
in short-term federal agency securities.
Asset Quality
- -------------
The Bank generally includes in non-performing loans, loans which are 90
days or more in arrears and loans which have been placed on non-accrual status.
In addition to non-performing loans, non-performing assets include ORE, as well
as any other investments, if any, on which the collection of contractual
principal and interest is questionable. The ratio of non-performing loans to
total loans was .02% and 1.32% at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997,
respectively. Non-performing loans at December 31, 1997 included a $12.8 million
underlying cooperative mortgage loan that was under foreclosure and on
non-accrual status. (See Non-performing/Non-accrual Table, herein.)
At June 30, 1998, the Bank's non-performing assets, which totaled
$662,000, included: non-performing loans of $257,000 and $405,000 ORE. The ratio
of non-performing assets to total assets was .04% and .90% at June 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, respectively. The significant reduction in non-performing
assets resulted from the payoff on the $12.8 million mortgage loan, referred to
above, on which the Bank had entered into a settlement agreement on January 28,
1998. Upon satisfaction of this mortgage, the Bank received all contractual
principal, interest, legal and other fees due.

(1) Represents the $12.8 million underlying cooperative mortgage loan,
which was satisfied on May 28, 1998. (See Asset Quality, page 11,
herein.)
(2) The Bank's FHA and VA loans are guaranteed, seasoned loans. It is
management's belief that these loans, including those in arrears, do
not present any significant collection risk to the Bank, and therefore,
are presented separately.
There were no loans included in the above table that were modified in a
trouble debt restructure. There were no impaired loans at June 30, 1998 and the
one $12,754,000 impaired loan which was on non-accrual status at December 31,
1997 was satisfied on May 28, 1998. The average balance of impaired loans was
$10,358,221 and $12,754,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30,
1997, respectively. Interest-income recorded for the impaired loan for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 was $387,000. No income was recorded on the impaired
loan for the quarter ended and six months ended June 30, 1997; however, all
contractual interest which was not previously accrued was received during the
second quarter of 1998. The $4,346,000 recorded for the recovery of prior period
expenses and unaccrued interest on troubled loans includes $2,752,600
contractual interest for the period from October 1, 1995 through February 10,
1998, when the borrower resumed making interest payments pursuant to a
settlement agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the impaired loan
resulted in unrecorded interest of $590,000, which was fully recovered, as
discussed above. Loans restructured in a trouble debt restructure, other than
those classified as impaired and/or non-accrual loans, were $1,814,000 and
$1,840,000 at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. Interest
forfeited attributable to these loans was $33,000 and $31,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's funds are primarily obtained through dividends paid by
the Bank. The Bank's primary source of funds are deposits, proceeds from
maturities of debt securities, principal and interest payments on CMOs, mortgage
and other loans. During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the $154.0 million
of purchases of U.S. Government and federal agency securities represented the
most significant use of funds in investing activities. Mortgage originations for
the portfolio, substantially all of which are at fixed rates, for the six months
ended 1998 were $135.9 million, compared to $78.5 million for the first half of
1997. CMO purchases for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $35.0 million,
compared to $30.0 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. During the first half
of 1998, maturities of U.S. Government and federal agency securities generated
$270.0 million, the most significant cash inflow from investing activities,
followed by principal payments on mortgage loans and CMOs of $48.3 million and
$35.6 million, respectively. The $11.5 million cost of repurchasing the
Company's common stock represents the largest use of funds in financing
activities for the first six months of 1998. The increase in dividend payments
reflects the increase in dividends paid per share to $.80 for the first half of
1998, compared to $.70 per share for the first half of 1997.
The net increase in deposits of $493,000 to $1.122 billion at June 30,
1998, compared to deposits at December 31, 1997, reflects increases in
certificate accounts, demand deposit accounts and lease security accounts of
$14.8 million, $1.1 million and $784,000, respectively, partially offset by a
$11.4 million decrease in passbook accounts, a $3.9 million decrease in money
market accounts and an $821,000 decrease in negotiable order of withdrawal
("NOW") accounts. Interest rates offered on passbook accounts remained
relatively low compared to alternative short-term certificate of deposits
offered by the Bank and other non-bank products available through various
investment firms. This scenario has caused the trend of deposit shifts from
passbook accounts to short-term certificate accounts, which offer higher rates.
Management continues to monitor deposit levels and interest rates in conjunction
with asset structure and has evaluated and implemented various strategies to
provide for targeted objectives in various interest rate scenarios. Interest
rate spread, net interest margin, liquidity, and related asset quality are some
of the key measures of financial performance that management remains focused on.
The Bank's assets are structured such that a gradual decline in deposits will
not adversely affect the Company. The Bank's liquidity ratios continue to exceed
all short and long term minimum regulatory requirements. Management is focused
on providing quality customer service as its main strategy for maintaining its
relationships with its depositors. The Bank has expanded its range of services
to customers, including automated telephone banking and credit cards
The Bank attempts to influence deposit levels and composition through
its interest rate structure. Management believes that the relatively low level
of interest rates and the strong performance and growth of the capital markets
are the primary contributors for the continued decline in deposits over the past
several years. Management chose to allow deposits to decline, rather than pay
rates that would result in a lower net income or necessitate modifying the
Bank's existing investment structure and guidelines. Rates offered on the Bank's
deposit accounts are competitive with those rates offered by other financial
institutions in its market area. While the highest percentage of deposits has
remained in passbook and lease security accounts, the trend of deposit shifts
has moved away from passbook accounts and towards certificate accounts.
Management cannot predict the future direction of deposits. As deposits decline,
interest earning assets may also decline, resulting in a decrease in interest
income, the primary component in the Company's net income.
The Company repurchased 219,300 shares of its common stock during the
six months ended June 30, 1998, pursuant to its tenth stock repurchase program
(the "Current Program"), which began on June 12, 1996. As of June 30, 1998,
634,300 of the 900,000 shares targeted for repurchase under the Current Program
were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $25.2 million, or at an average price
of $39.74 per share. Pursuant to the Company's stock option plans, 130,163
shares of treasury stock were reissued for option exercises during the six
months ended June 30, 1998. During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the
Company issued 1,800 shares of treasury stock for directors compensation.
<PAGE> 16
On April 14, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash
dividend of $.40 per share to stockholders of record on May 6, 1997. The
dividend payment, which totaled $4.0 million, was made on May 20, 1998.
Regulations
- -----------
As a condition of deposit account insurance, Office of Thrift
Supervision ("OTS") regulations require that the Bank calculate three regulatory
net worth requirements on a quarterly basis, and satisfy each requirement at the
calculation date and throughout the ensuing quarter. The three requirements are:
tangible capital of 1.50%, leverage ratio (or "core capital") of 3.00%, and a
risk-based assets capital ratio of 8.00%. Although the minimum core capital
ratio is 3.00%, the OTS Prompt Corrective Action Regulation stipulates that an
institution with less than 4.00% core capital is deemed to be undercapitalized.
The Bank's capital ratios at June 30, 1998 were as follows:

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net income, which included two non-recurring items, for the three months
ended June 30, 1998, was $15.2 million, or $1.49 per diluted share ($1.54 per
basic share), compared with $7.1 million, or $.70 per diluted share ($.72 per
basic share) for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
Non-Recurring Items:
Earnings for the second quarter ended June 30, 1998 were significantly
improved by two non-recurring items. In connection with the settlement on the
$12.8 million underlying mortgage loan, the Company recognized additional
pre-tax income of $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998.
Also, during the second quarter of 1998, the Company experienced a lower
effective tax rate principally related to a realignment of operations involving
an operating subsidiary of the Bank. As a result, net income increased by $5.0
million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.
Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1998, was $18.5
million, compared to $17.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The
increase in net interest income reflects a $1.3 million increase in interest
income and a $190,000 decrease in interest expense. The annualized yield on
interest earning assets increased to 7.74%, compared to 7.51%, for the quarters
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively; average interest earning assets
increased by $24.6 million. The annualized cost of interest bearing deposits
decreased slightly to 3.58% from 3.60% for the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and
1997, respectively. Average interest bearing deposits were $1.088 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to $1.102 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1997. For the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the interest rate spread and
net interest margin increased to 4.16% and 5.07%, respectively, compared to
3.91% and 4.75%, respectively for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.
Income earned on mortgage loans increased by 19.5%, to $21.8 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $18.3 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997, reflecting continued growth in the mortgage loan portfolio.
This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the yield to 8.38% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998, from 8.51% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.
For the three months ended June 30, 1998, income from debt and equity
securities, decreased by $2.2 million, or 41.5%, to $3.1 million from $5.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. This decrease is the result of
a decrease in the average investment in U.S. Government and federal agency
securities and other investments of $153.9 million, or 43.9%, to $196.3 million,
compared to $350.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The
annualized yield on the debt and equity security portfolio increased to 6.27%
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 from 6.01% for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. The debt and equity securities portfolio activity for the current
period included purchases of $79.0 million and maturities of $160.0 million,
compared with purchases of $110.0 million and maturities of $155.0 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 1997.
For the quarter ended June 30, 1998, income on CMOs decreased by 23.9%,
to $1.6 million, with an annualized yield of 6.17%, from income of $2.1 million
with an annualized yield of 5.93% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. During
the second quarter of 1998, the Bank received principal payments of $14.4
million on CMOs, compared with principal payments of $27.3 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1997. CMO purchases during the quarter ended June 30,
1998 totaled $15.0 million. There were no purchases of CMOs during the quarter
ended June 30, 1997. The Bank did not sell any CMOs during either period.
<PAGE> 18
Income on federal funds sold increased by $479,000, or 69.0% to $1.2
million for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 from $694,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1997. This increase resulted from an increase in the average investment
in federal funds of $35.4 million to $86.4 million for the current period,
compared with $51.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. The annualized
yield on federal funds sold was 5.43% for the current quarter, compared to 5.44%
for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.
Interest expense on deposits was $9.7 million for the quarter ended June
30, 1998, compared to $9.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Average
interest bearing deposits decreased by $14.0 million, to $1.088 billion for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $1.102 billion for the three
months ended June 30, 1997. The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits
decreased two basis points to 3.58% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 from
3.60% from the comparative quarter in 1997.
The provision for possible loan losses for the quarter ended June 30,
1998 was $14,000, compared to $161,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. The
provision for the second quarter of 1997 included provisions of $150,000 for the
general valuation mortgage allowance. During the second quarter of 1998, there
were no provisions made for mortgage loan losses. Based on internal loan review
analysis, no additions to the mortgage allowance were considered necessary
during the period. Management will continue to monitor the performance of the
loan portfolios and may adjust allowances accordingly. During the quarter ended
June 30, 1998, the Bank received a final settlement on the $12.8 million
underlying cooperative mortgage loan, whereby all contractual principal,
interest, legal and other fees were recovered. This satisfaction resulted in the
ratio of non-performing loans to total loans decreasing to .02% at June 30,
1998, from 1.32% at December 31, 1997.
Total non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1998,
increased to $5.8 million from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997, a net increase of $4.3 million, or 277.9%. The $3.3 million recovery of
prior period expenses and unaccrued interest on troubled loans resulted from the
final satisfaction on the $12.8 million mortgage loan (as previously discussed).
Due to the low interest rate environment, mortgage prepayment activity has
increased. As a result, loan fees and service charges increased by $1.1 million,
primarily reflecting prepayment penalties received by the Company during the
second quarter of 1998 on large mortgage loans. Real estate operations decreased
by $442,000, reflecting the decrease in real estate properties owned by the
Bank's subsidiaries. The $314,000 increase in miscellaneous income includes a
refund of $264,000 for real estate taxes from prior years on the Company's
headquarters and an increase of $53,000 in profits realized on the sale of
student loans.
Non-interest expense increased by $130,000, to $6.9 million during the
quarter ended June 30, 1998. The $193,000 increase in other general and
administrative expense primarily reflects an increase in consultation fees in
connection with the realignment of a Bank subsidiary.
The provision for income taxes decreased by $2.3 million, or 50.7%, to
$2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from $4.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997. This decrease is reflective of the decrease in
the Company's effective tax rate from 39.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997,
to 12.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The significantly lower effective
tax rate experienced during the second quarter of 1998 is principally related to
the realignment of operations involving an operating subsidiary of the Bank.
This realignment may also positively impact (but to a lesser extent) the
effective tax rate during the remainder of 1998, although such impact is
currently uncertain.
<PAGE> 19
Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net income, which included two non-recurring items, for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, was $22.9 million, or $2.24 per diluted share ($2.31 per
basic share), compared with $13.6 million, or $1.33 per diluted share ($1.38 per
basic share) for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
Non-Recurring Items:
Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were significantly
improved by two non-recurring items. In connection with the settlement on the
$12.8 million underlying co-operative mortgage loan, the Company recognized
additional pre-tax income of $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998.
Also, during the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company experienced
a lower effective tax rate principally related to the second quarter realignment
of operations involving an operating subsidiary of the Bank. As a result, net
income increased by $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1998, was $36.3
million, compared to $34.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The
increase in net interest income reflects a $2.0 million increase in interest
income, and a $286,000 decrease in interest expense. The annualized yield on
interest earning assets increased to 7.67%, compared to 7.49%, for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, while average interest
earning assets increased by $19.3 million. The annualized cost of interest
bearing deposits remained unchanged at 3.56% for the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997. Average interest bearing deposits were $1.088 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $1.104 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. For the year to date period ended June 30, 1998, the interest
rate spread and net interest margin increased to 4.11% and 5.00%, respectively,
compared to 3.93% and 4.75%, respectively for the six months ended June 30,
1997.
Income earned on mortgage loans increased by $6.1 million, or 17.0%, to
$42.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, reflecting continued
growth in the mortgage loan portfolio. This increase was partially offset by a
decrease in the mortgage portfolio yield to 8.33% (which included increased
accretion of deferred fees from mortgage payments) for the six months ended June
30, 1998, from 8.54% for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, income on debt and equity
securities decreased by $3.6 million, or 35.0%, to $6.7 million from $10.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This decrease is the result of a
decrease in the average investment in U.S. Government and federal agency
securities and other investments of $129.8 million, or 37.6%, to $215.5 million
for the first half of 1998, compared to $345.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. The annualized yield on the debt and equity security portfolio
increased to 6.20% from 5.95% for the comparative six month periods. The debt
and equity securities portfolio activity for the current period included
purchases of $154.0 million and maturities of $270.0 million, compared with
purchases of $244.9 million and maturities of $250.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, income on CMOs decreased by
28.4%, to $3.1 million, with an annualized yield of 6.17%, from income of $4.3
million with an annualized yield of 5.89% for the six months ended June 30,
1997. This decrease is reflective of the decrease in the average investment in
the CMO portfolio of $46.0 million, or 31.6% for the comparative six month
period. During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Bank received principal
payments of $35.6 million on CMOs, compared with $56.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. CMO purchases during the first six months of 1998
totaled $35.0 million, compared to $30.0 million for the first half of 1997. The
Bank did not sell any CMOs during either period.
<PAGE> 20
Income on federal funds increased by $759,000, or 46.9%, to $2.4 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from $1.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. This increase resulted from an increase in the average
investment in federal funds of $27.3 million, to $88.0 million for the current
period, compared with $60.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The
annualized yield on federal funds sold increased to 5.40% for the current six
month period, compared to 5.34% for the six month period ended June 30, 1997.
Interest expense on deposits decreased by 1.5%, to $19.4 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $19.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. Average interest bearing deposits decreased by $16.6
million, or 1.5%, to $1.088 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
compared to $1.104 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1997, while the
average rate paid on interest bearing deposits remained unchanged at 3.56% for
the comparative six month periods.
The provision for possible loan losses for the six months ended June 30,
1998 was $28,000, compared to $321,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
The provision for the six month period ending June 30, 1997 included provisions
of $300,000 for the general valuation mortgage allowance. For the six month
period ended June 30, 1998, management made no additions to the mortgage
allowance. Management regularly evaluates the quality and performance of the
Company's asset portfolios, and thereby assesses the adequacy of loss
allowances, which are adjusted through the provisions. (See Asset Quality,
herein.)
Total non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
increased to $7.5 million from $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997, a net increase of $4.8 million, or 181.5%. The $4.3 million recovery of
prior period expenses and unaccrued interest on troubled loans reflects payments
received during the first half of 1998 from the final settlement on a $12.8
million underlying cooperative mortgage loan. (See Asset Quality, herein.) Loan
fees and service charges increased by $870,000, primarily reflecting prepayment
penalties received by the Company during the second quarter of 1998 for three
large mortgage loans; partially offset by decreases of $130,000 in prepayment
penalties received by the Bank and $63,000 in personal check fees. Real estate
operations decreased by $721,000, primarily the result of a decrease in real
estate properties owned by the Bank. The $315,000 increase in miscellaneous
income reflects a refund of $264,000 for real estate taxes from prior years on
the Company's headquarters and a $50,000 increase in commissions on loaned
securities.
Non-interest expense remained relatively stable, increasing by $32,000,
or 0.23%, to $13.7 million for the first six months of 1998 compared to the
first six months of 1997. The $291,000 increase in other general and
administrative expense reflects increases in computer related expenses in
connection with the newer equipment. The $139,000 decrease in compensation and
benefits reflects an increase in income earned on excess pension fund assets.
The provision for income taxes decreased by $1.9 million, or 21.2%, to
$7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from $9.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1997. This decrease in taxes accompanied by an
increase in pre-tax income, reflects a decrease in the Company's effective tax
rate to 24.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from 40.3% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. The lower effective tax rate resulted from a
realignment of operations involving an operating subsidiary of the Bank. This
realignment may also positively impact (but to a lesser extent) the effective
tax rate during the remainder of 1998, although such impact is currently
uncertain.
