FFY Financial Corp. Reports 3rd Quarter Net Income and Regular Dividend
Youngstown, Ohio, April 18, 2000 - FFY Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: FFYF)
announced net income for its third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2000 of
$2.0 million, or $.31 per diluted share. This compares to net income of
$2.1 million, or $.30 per diluted share for the same prior year quarter.
Current quarter return on equity was 12.50%, the Company's highest ever
reported and a 15% increase over the same prior year quarter.
Assets totaled $667.7 million at March 31, 2000, a decline of $8.0 million,
or 1% from $675.7 million at June 30, 1999. The decline in assets was the
result of a $30.1 million, or 16% decline in the securites portfolio from
maturities, sales proceeds and a decline in market value related to the
current interest rate environment. The securities portfolio totaled $160.2
million at March 31, 2000. Partially offsetting the decline in the
securities portfolio was a $24.2 million, or 5% increase in loans
receivable, which totaled $478.4 million, including $173,000 in loans
available for sale, at March 31, 2000.
Deposits declined $14.3 million, or 3% during the nine month period due to
a decline in certificate accounts, and totaled $443.0 million at March 31,
2000. The decline in deposits was funded by cash flows from the securities
portfolio and a $6.2 million increase in borrowed funds. Borrowed funds
totaled $89.0 million at March 31, 2000.
At its meeting on April 18, 2000 the Company's board of directors declared
its regular quarterly dividend of 12.5 cents per share to be paid on May
11, 2000 to shareholders of record on April 28, 2000.
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this press release may be deemed to be forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including changes in
economic conditions in the Company's market area, changes in policies by
regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in

K for the year ended June 30, 1999 and Form 10-Q for the quarters ended
September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1999. Actual strategies and results in
future periods may differ materially from those currently expected. These
forward-looking statements represent the Company's judgment as of the date

to update these forward-looking statements.
