The Company's provision for loan losses was $3.3 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $4.1 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998, a decrease of $800,000, or 19.8%. The provision was reduced as a result of a decrease in net loan charge offs and non-performing loans A non-performing loan is a loan that is in default or close to being in default. Many loans become non-performing after being in default for 3 months, but this can depend on the contract terms. . The allowance for loan losses was $10.8 million, or 1.90% of period end loans at September 30, 1999, as compared to $8.3 million, or 1.77% of period end loans at September 30, 1998.

Net charge-offs were $746,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 1998.

Non-interest income was $3.0 million for fiscal 1999, an increase of $495,000, or 19.4% over the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998. The increase was primarily due to increases in net gains on sales of mortgage loans, trust commissions, loan servicing Loan servicing is the process by which a mortgage bank or subservicing firm collects the timely payment of interest and principal from borrowers. The level of service varies depending on the type loan and the terms negotiated between the firm and the investor seeking their services.  fees, and service charges on deposit accounts.

The Company's total assets were $915.1 million and $716.6 million at September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998, respectively.
