: ASBI ASBI American Segmental Bridge Institute ) today announced results for the second quarter and six months ended June June: see month.  30, 2000.

For the second quarter, net income per share increased 12% to $.28 on 3.1 million average shares outstanding compared with $.25 on 3.4 million average shares outstanding for the same period last year. Net income for the second quarter of 2000 totaled $876,000 versus $861,000 last year. Net interest income was $3,163,000 compared with $3,080,000 in the year-earlier period, while the provision for loan losses amounted to $109,000 versus $30,000 in the same quarter last year.

For the first half of 2000, net income per share increased 29% to $.62 on 3.1 million average shares outstanding compared with $.48 on 3.5 million average shares outstanding for the same period last year. Net income for the first six months of 2000 totaled $1,941,000 versus $1,658,000 last year. Net interest income was $6,279,000 compared with $6,133,000 in the year-earlier period, while the provision for loan losses amounted to $179,000 versus $68,000 in the same period last year.

Commenting on the results, Harry J. Bailey, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased with Ameriana's continued growth in earnings over the course of the second quarter and first half of this year. These improvements reflect both higher income from fees, tax-advantaged investments and other sources, which have offset lower gains on sales of loans and increased costs associated with the opening a new branch location in December December: see month.  1999. Our continued progress over the balance of 2000 will depend to a large extent on the impact that interest rate hikes - past and potential - have on our future lending volume and the yield on our interest-earning assets."
