Total assets decreased $8.3 million to $835.7 million at March 31, 1999 from $844.0 million at December December: see month.  31, 1998 primarily due to a $44.4 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, offset in part by increases totaling $28.7 million and $7.3 million in the loan and securities portfolios, respectively. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents also funded the $10.4 million decrease in net deposits.

The $28.7 million increase in the loan portfolio represented originations and purchases of new loans totaling $87.2 million and $6.0 million, respectively, partially offset by sales and normal amortization totaling $6.0 million and $58.5 million, respectively, as the Association continued to aggressively pursue new loan originations The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.

The $7.3 million increase in the securities portfolio reflected $23.4 million in purchases of securities available for sale, offset in part by calls and repayments totaling $5.0 million and $11.1 million, respectively, utilizing a portion of the funds received in the December stock offering and held in interest-earning accounts.

Deposits decreased $10.4 million, to $584.0 million at March 31, 1999 from $594.4 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease in deposits primarily reflected increased competition for retail deposits in the Association's market area as odd-term certificates matured and were not renewed re·new

Net interest income increased to $6.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $6.1 million for the same period in 1998 primarily as a result of a $93.1 million increase in average interest-earning assets to $787.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $694.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net interest income also reflected the effects of a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing Adj. 1. interest-bearing - of financial obligations on which interest is paid  liabilities to 4.11% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from 4.55% for the same period in 1998. This increase was offset in part by a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 7.11% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from 7.69% for the same period in 1998 combined with a $54.5 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities to $696.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $641.8 million for the same period in 1998 primarily. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities reflected $23.4 million and $31.1 million higher average balances for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 for the Association's deposit portfolio and borrowed funds, respectively, as the Association used such funds to support its expanding lending program. The provision for loan losses increased during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 to $322,000 as compared to $117,000 for the same period in 1998 primarily due to management's decision to increase the provision level to reflect loan portfolio growth during the period. Other income increased $31,000 to $978,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $947,000 for the same period in 1998, primarily due to increased customer fees. Other operating expense increased $625,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, primarily due to increases of $520,000 in employee compensation and benefits as a result of increased compensation levels and commissions paid to loan originators, partially offset by reduced compensation for the stock benefit plans, $250,000 in occupancy Gaining or having physical possession of real property subject to, or in the absence of, legal right or title.

The result is that the lower court which tried the case is instructed to dismiss the original action, retry the case, or is ordered to change its  of a $127,000 loss reserve previously recorded which was recovered from an insurance company during March 1999, as well as a reduction in loan expense of $228,000. -0-
