Community Savings Bankshares, Inc. Announces 29% Increase in Diluted Earnings Per Share for First Quarter.

Business Editors

NORTH PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 14, 2000

Community Savings Bankshares, Inc. ("Bankshares" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:CMSV CMSV Collgeg of Mount Saint Vincent (Riverdale, NY) ) announced today that diluted earnings per share diluted earnings per share

An earnings measure calculated by dividing net income less preferred stock dividends for a period by the average number of shares of common stock that would be outstanding if all convertible securities were converted into shares of
 increased to $0.18, or 29%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from $0.14 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, partially as a result of the stock repurchase Stock repurchase

 program. Net income increased $222,000, or 16%, for the first quarter of 2000 to $1.6 million, from $1.4 million in the same quarter of 1999.

The increase in net income was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income, offset by an increase in non-interest expense. Interest income which totaled $15.5 million increased 11% for the first quarter of 2000, as compared to the same period in 1999, primarily due to a 5% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, as well as a 40 basis point increase in the average yield earned on those assets. Loans secured by real estate were primarily responsible for these increases. An 18% increase in interest expense to $8.4 million for the first quarter of 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999 was primarily due to a 24 basis point increase in the average cost paid on interest-bearing Adj. 1. interest-bearing - of financial obligations on which interest is paid  liabilities, as well as an 11% increase in the average balance of such liabilities.

Quarter end assets totaled $905.8 million, an increase of $12.8 million from December December: see month.  31, 1999. Interest-earning deposits increased $18.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2000, as compared to December 31, 1999. These interest-earning deposits, as well as growth in the deposit portfolio, will be used to fund loan commitments. During this same time period, loans receivable decreased $2.2 million, deposits increased $22.5 million and borrowings decreased $11.7 million.

 totaled $46.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2000. This increase was offset by repayments totaling $48.0 million which included the payoff of a $21.0 million loan secured by land. Based on existing commitments for the second quarter of 2000, management anticipates the average balance of net loans receivable will increase.
