 Atlantic Bank's acquisition of Yonkers Yonkers (yŏn`kərz), city (1990 pop. 188,082), Westchester co., SE N.Y., on the east bank of the Hudson, in a hilly region just N of the Bronx (New York City); inc. 1855. Its elevator works date from 1852.  Financial Corporation (YFC YFC Youth For Christ

The conversion of all operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap.  resulting in the successful integration of the former Yonkers Federal Savings & Loan Association operations into Atlantic Bank was completed on June June: see month.  17, 2002.

Net income for the quarter was $7.0 million, which was $2.6 million or 59% greater than the $4.4 million posted for the same period last year. Net income for the year to date rose to $19.9 million reflecting an $8.1 million or 68% increase over the $11.8 million reported for the comparable nine month period of the prior year.

Net interest income was $23.7 million for the third quarter and $63.5 million for the year to date, representing an increase of $6.4 million and $10.1 million respectively over the comparable prior year periods. The net interest margin for the quarter and nine month periods remained relatively flat compared with the same periods last year. The 36.9% and 18.9% increase in net interest income for the comparable quarter and year to date periods is attributable to the additional assets acquired in the Yonkers acquisition. The provision for loan losses for the third quarter 2002 and year to date was $2.2 million and $4.6 million respectively, versus $5.4 million and $12.7 million for the comparable periods last year.

Non-interest income for the third quarter increased to $5.1 million, a $.7 million or 15% gain compared with the $4.4 million reported the same period last year. Non-interest income for the year to date increased to $16.0 million, representing a $4.4 million or 38% increase compared with $11.6 million posted the first nine months of 2001.

Non-Interest expense for the third quarter was $15.3 million, an increase of 49% or $5.0 million over the comparable quarter last year. For the nine months of 2002, non-interest expense was $42.7 million, an increase of 24% or $8.2 million compared with the same period last year. The increased non-interest expense is primarily attributable to the salary and benefit costs associated with the additional staff acquired in the YFC merger as well as certain one-time one-time

, were $1,272.3 million at September September: see month.  30, 2002, compared with $1,292.0 million at June 30, 2002 and $1,048.2 million at September 30, 2001. The 1.5% or $19.6 million decrease in loans during the third quarter is primarily attributable to the sale of certain leases from the bank's leasing company combined with the restructuring restructuring - The transformation from one representation form to another at the same relative abstraction level, while preserving the subject system's external behaviour (functionality and semantics).  of the acquired Residential Lending business subsequent to the acquisition of YFC. The 21.4% or $224.2 million increase in loans from September 30, 2001 to the current quarter reflects the assumption of loans through the YFC acquisition, which were partially offset by the sale of a pool of Commercial Real Estate loans and the securitization Securitization

 of a portion of the Residential Mortgage loan portfolio.

Total deposits were $1,722.7 million at September 30, 2002, reflecting a decrease of 10.4% or $199.4 million from the prior quarter and an increase of 34.3% or $440.0 million compared with September 30, 2001. The decrease from the prior quarter of this year is primarily the result of the routine periodic redeployment re·de·ploy

 of cash management funds by certain major institutional customers and to a lesser extent the bank's continuing de-emphasis on higher rate funding sources. The 34.3% increase from the comparable period last year is due to deposits acquired from Yonkers as well as the bank's continued success in expanding deposit relationships with its consumer and business customers.

As of September 30, 2002, total assets were $2.6 billion, reflecting a slight decrease of 2.7% or $73.2 million compared with the prior quarter and an increase of 28.1% or $575.9 million for the comparable prior year to date period. The year to date increase of 28.1% is principally attributed to the acquisition of YFC, with the quarterly reduction resulting from a combination of the previously mentioned sale of leases and Residential Lending restructuring and the reduction in securities associated with institutional customer cash management activities.

Atlantic Bank's return on average total assets for the third quarter and year to date improved to 1.04% and 1.12% respectively from .87% and .80% for the same periods last year. Return on average stockholder's equity Stockholder's equity

 increased to 14.28% for the quarter and to 14.36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The bank's efficiency ratio increased to 52.9% for the quarter and to 53.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, reflecting the additional costs associated with the YFC acquisition. The bank's Tier I leverage ratio was 5.65% and 8.17% at September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This ratio is in excess of the current regulatory guidelines guidelines,
