INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
ARM Index Considerations
o ARM repricing lag is longer in COFI
portfolio than in CMT portfolio
* COFI lag is 3.2 months
* CMT lag is 1.7 months
o All new COFI adjustable-rate loans have a 2-month repricing lag
o Menu of alternatives include: COFI, CMT, MTA, and LAMA
SLIDE 2
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
Advantages of COFI Index
o Popular with customers
o Limits payment volatility
o Rates usually adjust monthly
o Teaser rate period limited to 1-3 months
o Negative amortization feature has had limited to no consequences
<PAGE> 137
SLIDE 1
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
Problems with COFI Index
o Declining measurement base
* 69 institutions, down from over 200
* Potential for index management
o Changing composition of funding makes
COFI less responsive to market changes
o Marketing issues
SLIDE 2
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
Problems with CMT Index
o Teaser rate periods last 1-2 years
o 2% periodic rate cap can result in significant payment shock
o Higher prepayment rates when loan fully indexes at 2.875% margin

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
ARM Index Goals
o Customer attractiveness of COFI ARM
superior to CMT ARM
o Prepayment risk less with COFI ARM,
particularly when market rates are falling
o CMT ARM profitability invariant relative
to market
o COFI ARM profitability declining relative
to market
<PAGE> 139
SLIDE 1
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
ARM Index Goals
o MTA index combines the best of both worlds
o Current MTA margin is 200 basis points
o MTA is more profitable than COFI
o This strategy is being implemented as
quickly as possible in a way that avoids
disrupting loan production

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
o Prudent to target Federal Reserve capital
requirements for bank holding companies
Well capitalized

Leverage ratio 5%
Tier 1 Risk ratio 6

expenses in 1997
o Consolidation economies from ASB will take full effect in the second
half of 1997
