NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The primary business of Flushing Financial Corporation is the operation of its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Flushing Savings Bank, FSB (the "Bank"). The
consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q reflect
principally the Bank's activities.
The information furnished in these interim statements reflects all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the
results for such periods of Flushing Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries (the
"Company"). Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise
disclosed in this Form 10-Q. The results of operations in the interim statements
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals
("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The interim financial
information should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1998 Annual Report
on Form 10-K.
2. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999
and 1998 was computed by dividing net income by the total weighted average
number of common shares outstanding, including only the vested portion of
restricted stock awards. Diluted earnings per share includes the additional
dilutive effect of stock options outstanding and the unvested portion of
restricted stock awards during the period.
Earnings per share has been computed based on the following:

FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Flushing Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, was organized in May
1994 to serve as the holding company for Flushing Savings Bank, FSB (the
"Bank"), a federally chartered, FDIC insured savings institution, originally
organized in 1929. The Bank is a consumer-oriented savings institution and
conducts its business through eight banking offices located in Queens, Brooklyn,
Manhattan and Nassau County. Flushing Financial Corporation's common stock is
publicly traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "FFIC". The
following discussion of financial condition and results of operations include
the collective results of Flushing Financial Corporation and the Bank
(collectively, the "Company"), but reflects principally the Bank's activities.
The Company's principal business is attracting retail deposits from the general
public and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from
operations and borrowings, primarily in (i) origination and purchases of
one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, multi-family income-producing
property loans and commercial real estate loans, (ii) mortgage loan surrogates
such as mortgage-backed securities; and (iii) U.S. government and federal agency
securities, corporate fixed-income securities and other marketable securities.
To a lesser extent, the Company originates certain other loans, including
construction loans, Small Business Administration loans and other small business
loans.
The Company's results of operations depend primarily on net interest income,
which is the difference between the interest income earned on its loan and
securities portfolios, and its cost of funds, consisting primarily of interest
paid on deposit accounts and borrowed funds. Net interest income is the result
of the Company's interest rate margin, which is the difference between the
average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities, and the average balance of interest-earning assets
compared to the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The Company
also generates non-interest income from loan fees, service charges on deposit
accounts, mortgage servicing fees, late charges and other fees and net gains and
losses on sales of securities and loans. The Company's operating expenses
consist principally of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and
equipment costs, other general and administrative expenses and income tax
expense. The Company's results of operations also can be significantly affected
by its periodic provision for loan losses and specific provision for losses on
real estate owned. Such results also are significantly affected by general
economic and competitive conditions, including changes in market interest rates,
the strength of the local economy, government policies and actions of regulatory
authorities.
The Company has in the past increased growth through acquisitions of financial
institutions or branches of other financial institutions, and will pursue growth
through acquisitions that are, or are expected to be within a reasonable time
frame, accretive to earnings, as opportunities arise.
During the first quarter of 1998, the Bank formed Flushing Service Corporation
("FSC"), a service corporation to market insurance products and mutual funds.
The insurance products and mutual funds sold are products of unrelated insurance
and securities firms from which the service corporation earns a commission. FSC
became fully operational during the month of June, 1998. Management is currently
reviewing the potential profitability of various new products to further extend
the Bank's product lines and market.
On August 18, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
three-for-two split of the Company's common stock in the form of a 50% stock
dividend, which was paid on September 30, 1998. Each shareholder received one
additional share for every two shares of the Company's common stock held at the
record date, September 10, 1998. Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares. All
share and per share amounts in this report on Form 10-Q have been restated to
reflect the three-for-two stock split paid on September 30, 1998.

FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Statements contained in this Quarterly Report relating to plans, strategies,
objectives, economic performance and trends and other statements that are not
descriptions of historical facts may be forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward looking information is inherently
subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially
from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors, which include, but
are not limited to, the factors set forth in the preceding paragraphs, the
factors described below under Year 2000 Compliance, and elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report, and in other documents filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including, without
limitation, the Company's 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders and the SEC Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. The Company has no obligation
to update these forward-looking statements.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Company utilizes and is dependent upon data processing systems and software
to conduct its business. The data processing systems and software include those
developed and maintained by the Company's third party data processing vendors,
and purchased software operating on in-house computer networks. As the year 2000
approaches, a critical business issue has emerged regarding how existing
software, such as application programs and operating systems, will accommodate
the year 2000 date value. In the past, such software was programmed to assume
that all year values begin with "19". In response to this business concern, the
Company established, in 1997, a Year 2000 Task Force ("Y2K Task Force") to
evaluate whether its computer systems will function properly in the year 2000,
and report to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis. With the implementation
of the Y2K Task Force, actions were taken to remedy the Company's year 2000
problems.
Since its formation, the Y2K Task Force has contacted parties with which the
Company has material relationships, including the Company's data processing
vendors, and software suppliers to determine whether the systems used, or relied
upon, by the Company are year 2000 compliant, and if not to assess the
corrective steps being taken. The Company also contacted all borrowers with loan
balances outstanding in excess of two million dollars to assess the state of
each such party's year 2000 readiness. The Company continues to communicate with
these borrowers to monitor their 2000 readiness. The Company's investment
securities portfolio, which amounted to 25.5% of total assets at June 30, 1999,
consists primarily of U.S. government securities or U.S. government agency
backed mortgage-backed securities. Although the Company is attempting to monitor
and evaluate the efforts of these other parties, it cannot control the success
of their efforts.
The Company believes that its in-house systems and software are year 2000
compliant. In addition, the Company's data processing vendors have indicated
that their hardware and software are year 2000 compliant. The majority of other
vendors have indicated that their hardware and/or software is or will be year
2000 compliant prior to the date change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, given
the inherent uncertainty in the year 2000 problem, there can be no assurance
that the Company will not experience a disruption in service related to the year
2000 problem. For this reason, the Company plans to continue to monitor its year
2000 readiness through the end of the year.
The Company is also dependent in its business upon the availability of public
utilities, including communications and power services. The Company cannot
predict the year 2000 readiness of such utilities or the outcome their
remediation efforts.

PART I -- FINANCIAL INFORMATION
FLUSHING FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's cost to upgrade various systems, primarily software version
upgrades, was approximately $70,000, excluding the time that internal staff
devoted to testing and monitoring year 2000 compliance, although these
activities did not add significant incremental cost. Management does not
anticipate significant future costs for year 2000 compliance and testing.
Therefore, management believes that the cost of year 2000 compliance, in the
aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow.
The Company believes that the most reasonably likely worst case scenario, should
there be a disruption of service in spite of the year 2000 efforts of the
Company and its third party vendors, would be an inability to process banking
transactions, calculate investment yields and costs, send and receive electronic
data with third parties, or engage in similar normal business activities. Should
the Company need to manually calculate and complete transactions, assuming a
doubling in manpower, the cost of alternative methods of doing business is
projected to be approximately $250,000 in additional expenses per month.
Management believes that a more likely scenario in the event of any year 2000
non-compliance would be a temporary disruption of service to its customers. The
Company is of the opinion that its contingency plans would mitigate the
long-term effect of such a scenario and that a temporary disruption would not
have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results
of operations or cash flow.
In the unanticipated event that the Company experiences a disruption of service,
the Company has developed contingency plans that management believes will
provide reasonable substitutes for the essential functions in the Company's
primary business that become unavailable on its systems or those of its third
party vendors. Some of these contingency plans are already in use for
unanticipated data processing vendor downtime which occurs during the normal
course of business.
The discussion above of the Company's efforts, and management's expectations,
relating to year 2000 compliance are forward-looking statements, which are based
on management's best estimate of various factors involving numerous assumptions.
The Company's ability to achieve year 2000 compliance and the level of
incremental costs associated therewith could be adversely impacted by, among
other things, the availability and cost of programming and testing resources,
vendors' ability to modify proprietary software, and unanticipated problems
identified in the ongoing compliance review.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
GENERAL. Net income for the second quarter of 1999 increased 17.1% to $3.2
million, or $0.34 per diluted share, from the $2.7 million, or $0.26 per diluted
share, earned in the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The return on average assets
for the second quarter of 1999 increased to 1.11% from 1.01% for the comparable
1998 period, while the return on average equity for the second quarter of 1999
increased to 10.21% from 7.93% for the comparable 1998 period.
INTEREST INCOME. Total interest and dividend income increased $1.0 million, or
4.5%, to $21.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $20.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. This increase was primarily
the result of a $74.8 million increase in the average earning balances of
interest-earning assets for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the
quarter ended June 30, 1998. The average balance of mortgage loans, net,
increased $148.9 million for the second quarter of 1999 as compared to the
second quarter of 1998. This increase was partially offset by $59.8 million and
$16.6 million decreases in the average balances of other securities and
interest-earning deposits and federal funds, respectively, for the second
quarter of 1999 compared to the second quarter of 1998. The yield on
interest-earning assets declined 20 basis points to 7.75% for the second quarter
of 1999 from 7.95% for the second quarter of 1998 due to declining rates on
mortgage loans originated.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $0.2 million, or 1.3%, to $11.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $11.3 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, primarily due to an $88.1 million increase in
the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. This increase in the
average balance of interest-bearing liabilities was partially offset by a 38
basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to
4.59% in the second quarter of 1999 from 4.97% in the second quarter of 1998, as
certificates of deposit renewed at lower rates, the rate paid for passbook
deposit accounts was reduced, and the cost of borrowings declined.
NET INTEREST INCOME. For the three months ended June 30, 1999, net interest
income increased $0.8 million, or 8.4%, to $10.0 million from $9.2 million in
the comparable 1998 period, for reasons stated above. The net interest margin
improved 4 basis points to 3.61% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from
3.57% for the comparable 1998 period. In addition, the net interest margin of
3.61% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 reflects an 11 basis points
improvement over the 3.50% level for the prior quarter ended March 31, 1999, as
the yield on interest-earning assets improved seven basis points while the cost
of funds declined five basis points.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 was $12,000 as compared to $42,000 for the comparable 1998
period. Despite the lower provision, the allowance for loan losses increased
from $6.8 million at December 31, 1998 to $6.9 million at June 30, 1999 due to
recoveries on previously charged-off loans. The level of the allowance for loan
losses reflects the Bank's evaluation of current economic conditions, the
overall trend of non-performing loans in the loan portfolio (see Asset Section),
its analysis of specific loan situations, and the size and composition of the
loan portfolio.
NON-INTEREST INCOME. Total non-interest income increased by 19.4% to $919,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $770,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998. The increase is due primarily to increases in fee income
from mortgage operations and banking services.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense was $5.7 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. Salaries and benefits declined by $0.3 million,
which was offset by increases in professional fees, business promotion, and
other expenses. Management continues to monitor expenditures resulting in
efficiency ratios, which exclude non-recurring items, of 51.3% and 53.4% for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES. Total income before provision for income taxes
increased $0.9 million, or 21.4%, to $5.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 as compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998 for reasons stated above.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense increased $452,000 to $2.0
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $1.6 million for
the comparable 1998 period. This is primarily due to the $0.9 million increase
in income before taxes.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
GENERAL. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased 25.4% to
$6.2 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, from the $5.0 million, or $0.46 per
diluted share, earned in the six months ended June 30, 1998. The return on
average assets for the six months ended June 30, 1999 increased to 1.09% from
0.92% for the comparable 1998 period, while the return on average equity for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 increased to 9.73% from 7.34% for the comparable
1998 period.
INTEREST INCOME. Total interest and dividend income increased $1.2 million, or
2.9%, to $42.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $41.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998. This increase was primarily the result
of a $62.6 million increase in the average earning balances of interest-earning
assets for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1998. The average balance of mortgage loans, net, increased
$148.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the
comparable 1998 period. This increase was partially offset by $58.2 million and
$29.7 million decreases in the average balances of other securities and
interest-earning deposits and federal funds, respectively, for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 compared to the comparable 1998 period. The yield on
interest-earning assets declined 23 basis points to 7.72% for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 from 7.95% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 due to
declining rates on mortgage loans originated.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $22.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998. A $71.3 million increase in the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from the
comparable 1998 period was offset by a 36 basis point decline in the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities to 4.61% in the six months ended June 30, 1999 as
compared to 4.97% for the six months ended June 30, 1998. This decline in the
cost of interest-bearing liabilities is due to certificates of deposit renewing
at lower rates, the rate paid for passbook deposit accounts being reduced, and a
decline in the cost of borrowed funds.
NET INTEREST INCOME. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, net interest income
increased $1.2 million, or 6.4%, to $19.5 million from $18.3 million in the
comparable 1998 period, for reasons stated above. The net interest margin
improved one basis point to 3.56% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from
3.55% for the comparable 1998 period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 was $36,000 as compared to $158,000 for the comparable 1998
period. Despite the lower provision, the allowance for loan losses increased
from $6.8 million at December 31, 1998 to $6.9 million at June 30, 1999 due to
recoveries on previously charged-off loans. The level of the allowance for loan
losses reflects the Bank's evaluation of current economic conditions, the
overall trend of non-performing loans in the loan portfolio (see Asset Section),
its analysis of specific loan situations, and the size and composition of the
loan portfolio.
NON-INTEREST INCOME. Total non-interest income increased by 24.8% to $1.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $1.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998. The increase is due primarily to increases in fee
income from mortgage operations and banking services.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense decreased by $0.3 million, or 2.5%,
to $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $11.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. Salaries and benefits declined
by $1.0 million due primarily to a one-time non-recurring compensation expense
of $750,000 in connection with the planned retirement of a senior executive
recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 1998. This decrease was partially offset
by increases in professional fees, business promotion, and other expenses.
Management continues to monitor expenditures resulting in efficiency ratios,
which exclude non-recurring items, of 52.0% and 52.6% for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES. Total income before provision for income taxes
increased $1.9 million, or 24.5%, to $10.0 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999 as compared to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 for
reasons stated above.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense increased $0.7 million to $3.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $3.1 million for
the comparable 1998 period. This is primarily due to the $1.9 million increase
in income before taxes.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
ASSETS. Total assets at June 30, 1999 were $1.18 billion, a $38 million increase
from December 31, 1998. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, loan
originations and purchases were $48.8 million for 1-4 family residential
mortgage loans, $42.6 million for multi-family real estate loans, $25.0 million
for commercial real estate loans and $5.0 million in construction loans. During
the six months ended June 30, 1998, loan originations and purchases were $50.9
million for 1-4 family residential mortgage loans, $39.7 million for
multi-family real estate loans, $10.9 million for commercial real estate loans
and $2.0 million in construction loans. Total loans, net, increased $58.2
million during the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $808.8 million from $750.6
million at December 31, 1998.
As the Company continues to increase its loan portfolio, management continues to
adhere to the Bank's strict underwriting standards. As a result, the Company has
been able to minimize charge-offs of losses from impaired loans and maintain
asset quality. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Bank realized net
recoveries of $142,000, and for the 1998 year, the Bank realized net recoveries
of $74,000. Non-performing assets were $5.5 million at June 30, 1999 compared to
$2.7 million at December 31, 1998 and $3.4 million at June 30, 1998. The
increase in non-performing assets primarily relates to three commercial mortgage
loans for which management believes the value of the underlying collateral is
sufficient to allow the Bank to realize its investment in these loans. Total
non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.46% at June 30,
1999 compared to 0.23% at December 31, 1998 and 0.31% at June 30, 1998. The
ratio of allowance for loan losses to total non-performing loans was 135.27% at
June 30, 1999 compared to 260.36% at December 31, 1998 and 214.31% at June 30,
1998.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIABILITIES. Total liabilities increased $46 million to $1.06 billion at June
30, 1999 from $1.01 billion at December 31, 1998 . The change in total
liabilities was due primarily to an increase in FHLB borrowings of $43.6 million
during the six months ended June 30, 1999, bringing FHLB borrowings to $379.0
million at June 30, 1999.
EQUITY. Total stockholders' equity decreased $7.5 million to $124.6 million at
June 30, 1999 from $132.1 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease is
primarily due to $6.2 million in net income for the six months ended June 30,
1999, more than offset by $10.1 million in treasury shares purchased through the
Company's stock repurchase plans, $1.5 million in cash dividends paid during the
six month period, and a $3.0 million after tax decline in the market value of
securities available for sale. Quarterly dividends per share were increased from
$0.06 per share for the fourth quarter of 1998 to $0.08 per share in the first
and second quarters of 1999. Book value per share, adjusted for the three-for
two stock dividend paid on September 30, 1998, continued to improve to $12.15
per share at June 30, 1999 from $12.12 per share at December 31, 1998 and $11.93
at June 30, 1998.
During the first quarter of 1999, the Company completed its fourth stock
repurchase program, and the Board of Directors approved the fifth stock
repurchase program for 540,000 shares, which was completed during the second
quarter of 1999. The Board of Directors approved the sixth stock repurchase
program for 512,000 during the second quarter of 1999. Under these programs, the
Company repurchased 653,800 shares during the six months ended June 30, 1999,
leaving 512,000 shares to be repurchased under the current stock repurchase
program at June 30, 1999.
LIQUIDITY. The Bank, as a federal savings bank, is subject to Office of Thrift
Supervision ("OTS") guidelines regarding liquidity requirements. Pursuant to
these requirements, the Bank is required to maintain an average daily balance of
liquid assets (cash and certain securities with detailed maturity limitations
and marketability requirements) equal to a monthly average of not less than a
specified percentage of its net withdrawable deposit accounts plus short-term
borrowings. This liquidity requirement may be changed from time to time by the
OTS to any amount within the range of 4% to 10% depending upon economic
conditions and the savings flows of member institutions, and is currently 4%.
Monetary penalties may be imposed by the OTS for failure to meet these liquidity
requirements. At June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Bank's liquidity
ratio, computed in accordance with the OTS requirement was 18.11% and 18.28%,
respectively. Management anticipates that the Bank will continue to meet OTS
liquidity requirements. Unlike the Bank, Flushing Financial Corporation is not
subject to OTS regulatory requirements on the maintenance of minimum levels of
liquid assets.
CASH FLOW. During the six months ended June 30,1999, funds provided by the
Company's operating activities amounted to $11.5 million. These funds, together
with $30.8 million provided by financing activities, were utilized to fund net
investing activities of $40.4 million. The Company's primary business objective
is the origination and purchase of 1-4 family residential, multi-family and
commercial real estate loans. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the net
total of loan originations less loan repayments was $50.2 million, and the total
amount of real estate loans purchased was $7.9 million. The Company also invests
in other securities including mortgage loan surrogates such as mortgage-backed
securities. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company purchased a
total of $45.8 million in securities available for sale. Funds for investment
were also provided by $65.2 million in sales, calls, maturities, and prepayments
of securities available for sale, and $43.6 million of net increased borrowings
from the FHLB-NY with original maturities greater than one year. The Company
also used funds of $10.1 million for treasury stock repurchases and $1.5 million
in dividend payments during the six months ended June 30, 1999.

INTEREST RATE RISK
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results
in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in fair value of
certain investments due to changes in interest rate risk. Generally, the fair
value of financial investments such as loans and securities fluctuates inversely
with changes in interest rates. As a result, increases in interest rates could
result in decreases in the fair value of the Company's interest-earning assets
which could adversely affect the Company's results of operation if sold, or, in
the case of securities classified as available-for-sale, the Company's
stockholders' equity, if retained.
The Company manages the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities on a continuous basis to maximize return and adjust risk exposure.
On a quarterly basis, management prepares the "Earnings and Economic Exposure to
Changes In Interest Rate" report for review by the Board of Directors, as
summarized below. This report quantifies the potential changes in net interest
income and net portfolio value should interest rates go up or down (shocked) 300
basis points, assuming the yield curves of the rate shocks will be parallel to
each other. Net portfolio value is defined as the market value of assets net of
the market value of liabilities. The net portfolio value ratio is the ratio of
the net portfolio value to the market value of assets. All changes in income and
value are measured as percentage changes from the projected net interest income
and net portfolio value at the base interest rate scenario. The base interest
rate scenario assumes interest rates at June 30, 1999 and various estimates
regarding prepayment and all activities are made at each level of rate shock.
Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. The Company's
current interest rate exposure is within the guidelines set forth by the Board
of Directors.

AVERAGE BALANCES
Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning
assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends
upon the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities and the interest rate earned or paid on them. The following table
set forth certain information relating to the Company's consolidated statements
of financial condition and consolidated statements of operations for the three
month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, and reflects the average yield on
assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields
and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of
assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are
derived from average daily balances. The yields include amortization of fees
which are considered adjustments to yields.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
The Company reviews loans in its portfolio on a monthly basis to determine
whether any problem loans require classification in accordance with internal
policies and applicable regulatory guidelines. The following table sets forth
information regarding all non-accrual loans, loans which are 90 days or more
delinquent, and real estate owned at the dates indicated.

</TABLE>
The increase in non-accrual mortgage loans primarily relates to three commercial
mortgage loans for which management believes the value of the underlying
collateral is sufficient to allow the Bank to realize its investment in these
mortgage loans.
The increase in real estate owned is primarily related to one property which is
currently under contract for sale at an amount which will result in the Bank
realizing the carrying value of the property.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company has established and maintains on its books an allowance for loan
losses that is designed to provide a reserve against estimated losses inherent
in the Company's overall loan portfolio. The allowance is established through a
provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent
in the various components of its loan portfolio and other factors, including
historical loan loss experience, changes in the composition and volume of the
portfolio, collection policies and experience, trends in the volume of
non-accrual loans and regional and national economic conditions. The
determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses includes estimates
that are susceptible to significant changes due to changes in appraisal values
of collateral, national and regional economic conditions and other factors. In
connection with the determination of the allowance, the market value of
collateral ordinarily is evaluated by the Company's staff appraiser; however,
the Company may from time to time obtain independent appraisals for significant
properties. Current year charge-offs, charge-off trends, new loan production and
current balance by particular loan categories are also taken into account in
determining the appropriate amount of allowance. The Board of Directors reviews
and approves the adequacy of the loan loss reserves on a quarterly basis.
The following table sets forth the activity in the Bank's allowance for loan
losses for the periods indicated.
