NOTE 1 - PLAN OF MERGER INFORMATION

The Company entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with Wesbanco, Inc. (“Wesbanco”) of Wheeling, West Virginia on April 1, 2004. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Wesbanco will exchange a combination of its common stock and cash for the Company’s common stock. The Company’s shareholders will be able to elect a fixed exchange ratio of 1.18 shares of Wesbanco common stock or $35.00 in cash subject to certain limitations including that 55% of the Company’s outstanding shares be exchanged for Wesbanco common stock. Common stock received by the Company’s shareholders is anticipated to qualify as a tax-free exchange. Based upon a per share value of $35.00, the transaction is valued at $65.2 million. The transaction, which is subject to regulatory and the Company’s shareholder approvals, is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2004.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. The financial data and results of operations for interim periods presented may not necessarily reflect the results to be anticipated for the entire year. All operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating system.

Consolidation Policy: The financial statements include Western Ohio Financial Corporation (Western) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Cornerstone Bank (Cornerstone), together referred to as the Corporation. The financial statements of Cornerstone include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, CornerstoneBanc Financial Services, Inc. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, fair values of financial instruments and the valuation of retained interests, including mortgage and other servicing assets, are particularly subject to change.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is based on the effective rate expected to be applicable for the entire year.

Earnings Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is based on net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) shares are considered to be outstanding for the calculation unless unearned. Management Recognition Plan (MRP) shares are considered outstanding as they become vested. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options.

Stock Compensation: Employee compensation expense under stock options is reported using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if expense were measured using the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock –Based Compensation.

The pro forma effects are computed using option pricing models, using the following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date.

New Accounting Standards: The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) revised Interpretation 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, in December 2003. The revised Interpretation changes the accounting model for consolidation from the current method based on consideration of control through voting interests to a model that considers who would incur the expected losses or receive the expected returns. The decision to consolidate now considers whether the entity has sufficient equity at risk to enable it to operate without additional financial support, whether the equity owners in the entity lack the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive residual returns or whether voting rights in the entity are proportional to the equity interest and substantially all the entities activities are conducted for an investor with minimal voting rights. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2003, the FASB reissued Statement 132 (revised 2003), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits,” as Statement 132R. This revised Statement requires additional disclosures as to expense recorded, assets, obligations, and cash flows related to these benefits

or retirement plans. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

In November 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued a consensus requiring additional numerical and narrative disclosures for debt and marketable equity securities that have unrealized losses. Issue 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” was adopted by the Company in 2003 for these related disclosure requirements.

In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” requiring that commitments to make mortgage loans be accounted for as derivatives if the loans are to be held for sale. The commitment represents a written option and is therefore recorded at the fair value. In March 2003, the FASB issued Statement 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equities,” which requires reporting mandatorily redeemable shares as liabilities. The Company adopted these Statements in 2003 and as of March 31, 2004, did not have financial instruments with these characteristics on the balance sheet.

NOTE 3 – SECURITIES

Securities available for sale were as follows:

Gross proceeds from sales of securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 were $2.3 million, with gross gains of $16,000 included in earnings.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discusses the financial condition of the Company as of March 31, 2004 as compared to December 31, 2003, and the results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, compared with the comparable quarter of 2003. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim financial statements and footnotes included herein.

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this filing and in future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company’s press releases or other public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases “would be”, “will allow”, “intends to”, “will likely result”, “are expected to”, “will continue”, “is anticipated”, “estimate”, “project” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in economic conditions in the Company’s market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Company’s market area and competition, all or some of which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made and advises readers that various factors, including regional and national economic conditions, substantial changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and other risks of lending and investment activities and competitive and regulatory factors, could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Western Ohio’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and follow general practices within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.

The most significant policies followed by the Corporation are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Management has identified the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of retained interests, including mortgage and other servicing assets, to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such would most likely be subject to subsequent revision as new information becomes available.

12.

WESTERN OHIO FINANCIAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio at a particular balance sheet date. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and the timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends and conditions and collateral values, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type on the consolidated balance sheet.

Retained interests, including Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs), are established and accounted for based on discounted cash flow modeling techniques which require management to make estimates regarding the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, including assumptions about loan prepayment rates, credit loss experience, and costs to service, as well as discount rates that consider the risk involved. MSRs do not trade in an open market with active trading with readily available market prices. Because the values of these assets are sensitive to changes in assumptions, the valuation of retained interests, which in part is provided by an independent third party, is considered a critical accounting estimate. Management updates the valuation of MSRs quarterly, in part due to the assumptions relating to the prepayment of loans having a high degree of correlation with the movement of interest rates.

Recent Corporate Developments

The Company entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with Wesbanco, Inc. of Wheeling, West Virginia, on April 1, 2004. See Item 5, Part II, of this Form 10Q.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Consolidated assets of the Company totaled $407.5 million at March 31, 2004, an increase of $8.0 million from the December 31, 2003 total of $399.5 million. The increase in assets was mainly comprised of an increase of $2.6 million in securities available for sale, an increase of $2.9 million in loans and an increase of $2.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Net loans increased $2.9 million, or 0.9%, from $334.5 million at December 31, 2003 to $337.4 million at March 31, 2004. Traditional one-to-four family residential mortgage loans increased $10.9 million to $186.0 million at March 31, 2004 from $175.1 million at December 31, 2003, primarily due to the purchase of a mortgage loan pool totaling $15.2 million during the first quarter.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $2.4 million to $9.2 million at March 31, 2004, from $6.9 million at December 31, 2003. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, checking deposits and federal funds deposited at other financial institutions.

Securities available for sale amounted to $35.4 million at March 31, 2004, and increased $2.6 million from $32.7 million at December 31, 2003. The increase was due to the purchase of securities of $8.3 million, which was partially offset by the sale of securities of $2.3 million and principal repayments and prepayments amounting to $ 3.6 million.

Deposits at March 31, 2004 totaled $257.5 million, an increase of $8.8 million from $248.7 million at December 31, 2003. The increase occurred primarily in money market accounts due to the Bank’s promotional pricing and the desire of retail banking customers to maintain balances in more liquid accounts in anticipation of rising rates. Certificates of deposit, which amounted to $138.2 million at March

13.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

31, 2004, declined by $1.6 million from the level at December 31, 2003 resulting from maturing account balances being transferred to money market accounts.

FHLB advances at March 31, 2004 totaled $101.8 million reflecting a slight decline from $103.5 million at December 31, 2003. The majority of borrowed funds are invested in loans to leverage the Company’s excess capital with the intent of improving the Company’s return on equity over time.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $977,000, or 2.2%, from $44.4 million at December 31, 2003, to $45.3 million at March 31, 2004. This increase is primarily attributable to net income for the current quarter, stock options exercised and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income for unrecognized gains on the available for sale securities. This was partially offset by dividend payments of $449,000 during the first quarter of 2004.

As of March 31, 2004, the Company had commitments to make $2.2 million of residential loans and $7.9 million of non-residential real estate loans. It is expected that these loans will be funded within 30-90 days. The Company also had $2.7 million in commitments to fund loans on residential properties under construction as well as commitments to disburse $3.5 million on other mortgage loans. These commitments are anticipated to be filled within three to six months. Unused commercial lines of credit were $7.0 million and unused home equity lines of credit were $17.6 million. Commitments to originate nonmortgage loans total $387,000.

Results of Operations

Operating results of the Company are affected by general economic conditions, monetary and fiscal policies of federal agencies and policies of agencies regulating financial institutions. The Company’s cost of funds is influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest. Lending activities are influenced by demand for real estate and other types of loans, which, in turn, is affected by the interest rates at which such loans are made, general economic conditions and the availability of funds for lending activities.

The Company’s net income is primarily dependent on its net interest income (the difference between interest income generated on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities). Net income is also affected by the provision for loan losses, service charges, gains on sale of assets, other income, noninterest expense and income taxes. The Company’s net income of $512,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, represented a decrease of $109,000, or 17.6%, compared to the comparable quarter of 2003. The returns on average assets and average shareholders’ equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, on an annualized basis, were 0.52% and 4.55%, respectively, compared to 0.73% and 5.77% for the same period in 2003. Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis of $0.28 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 declined $0.07 from $0.35 for the comparable quarter of 2003.

Net interest income is the largest component of the Company’s income and is affected by the interest rate environment and volume and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income totaled $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2003. The year-over-year increase of $108,000 is due to a higher level of average interest-earning assets, which was mostly offset by a lower net interest margin. Average interest-earning assets of $376.4 million for the first quarter of 2004 exceeded the comparable quarter of 2003 of $325.0 million, or 15.8%. However, the net interest margin of 2.66% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 declined by 33 basis points from 2.99% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The net interest margin decline was mainly attributable to the yield on average interest-earning assets of 5.18% for the first

14.

WESTERN OHIO FINANCIAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

quarter of 2004 declining by 64 basis points from the level of the prior years’ comparable quarter of 2003 while the rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities of 2.74% only declined by 44 basis points for the comparable period of 2003.

The Company remains liability sensitive whereby its interest-bearing liabilities will generally reprice more quickly than its interest-earning assets. Therefore, the Company’s net interest margin will generally increase in periods of falling interest rates in the market and will decrease in periods of rising interest rates. Cornerstone is more sensitive to rising rates than declining rates. In a rising interest rate environment, because Cornerstone has primarily fixed-rate loans in its loan portfolio, the amount of interest Cornerstone would receive on its loans could increase relatively slowly as loans are slowly prepaid and new loans at higher rates are made. Moreover, the interest Cornerstone would pay on its deposits could increase more rapidly as interest rates increase because Cornerstone’s deposits generally have shorter periods to repricing.

Interest and fees on loans totaled $4.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to $4.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The increase was mainly associated with higher average loan balances in the first quarter of 2004 versus the prior years’ comparable quarter, which was partially offset by lower yields on newly originated loans. The average yield earned on the portfolio on an annualized basis, declined to 5.51% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from 6.23% for the same period in 2003.

Interest and dividends on securities totaled $233,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, and $484,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The decline was attributed to lower average balances in the first quarter of 2004 compared to the comparable quarter of 2003 coupled with accelerated prepayments of collateralized mortgage obligations that resulted in accelerated amortization of purchase premiums.

Interest on deposits totaled $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and was essentially the same as the quarter ended March 30, 2003. Although average interest-bearing liabilities of $347.8 million for the first quarter of 2004 increased by $49.8 million, or 16.7%, from the average for the comparable quarter of 2003, interest expense on deposits remained flat. The benefit of lower interest rates on all deposit products and the shift in mix from certificates of deposits to more cost-effective checking and money market accounts offset the increased cost associated with a higher level of interest-bearing liabilities.

Interest on FHLB advances of $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 increased $42,000 compared to $984,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The increase was due to a higher average outstanding balance for FHLB advances in the first quarter of 2004 versus the comparable quarter of 2003 partially offset by the lower cost of new advances.

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses in an amount, which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent on a variety of factors, including performance of the Company’s loan portfolio, the economy, changes in real estate values and interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward loan classifications. The provision for loan losses is determined by management as the amount to be added to the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to a level considered adequate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. The amount of the provision is based on management’s regular review of the loan portfolio and consideration of such factors as historical loss experience, changes in size and composition of the loan portfolio and specific borrower considerations, including ability of the

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

borrower to repay the loan and the estimated value of the underlying collateral. The provision for loan losses totaled $84,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, consistent with the level for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

Net charge-offs amounted to $29,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $5,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Based upon the current level of charge-offs, the level of impaired and nonperforming loans and the collateral supporting those loans, and the local and regional economic conditions, management believes that the total allowance of $1.9 million on total loans at March 31, 2004 is adequate. The Corporation will continue to review its allowance for loan losses and make further provisions as required dependent upon the economic and asset quality conditions.

Noninterest income totaled $722,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $825,000 for the comparable period of 2003, reflecting a decline of $103,000, or 12.5%. An increase in service charges year-over-year was more than offset by a decline in gains on the sale of loans and securities coupled with a decline in Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI). Service charges on loans and deposits increased $14,000, or 2.5%, from $564,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $578,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The Company’s overdraft honor program, which provides to most customers the courtesy of honoring checks drawn on insufficient balances, up to limits established by management, was the primary reason for the increase in service charges on deposits. Additionally, the Company recognized loan sale gains of $33,000 on loan sales of $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to $85,000 on loan sales of $4.5 million for the comparable quarter of 2003. Gains on the sale of securities were $16,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, versus $69,000 for the comparable quarter of 2003. The BOLI income, which amounted to $83,000 for the first quarter of 2004, reflected a decrease of $42,000, or 33.6%, from the comparable quarter of 2003 due to the change from a guaranteed rate from the insurance carriers in the initial year of the policies to market rates in the current year.

Noninterest expense amounted to $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2004, which amounted to an increase of $123,000, or 5.5% above the level of $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2003. The major expense increases were comprised of an increase in employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) expense of approximately $40,000 due to a significantly higher stock price during the first quarter of 2004 relative to the comparable quarter of 2003 and an increase in loan fees of approximately $44,000 for purchased mortgage loans. The resulting income for the purchased mortgage loans more than offset the increased expense. Professional services, which totaled $181,000 in the first quarter of 2004, accounted for increased spending of $32,000, or 21.5%, relative to the prior years’ comparable quarter due to legal and internal audit expenses, which are outsourced by the Company. Expenses associated with occupancy and equipment, advertising, franchise taxes, and data processing in the first quarter of 2004 were little changed from the first quarter of 2003.

The change in income tax is primarily attributable to the change in income before income taxes. Income tax expense totaled $258,000 and $267,000, or an effective rate of 33.5% and 30.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003 respectively. This effective tax rate increase is due primarily to a one-time adjustment in the first quarter of 2004 for $16,660.

Liquidity

Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) regulations presently require Cornerstone Bank to maintain sufficient liquidity to assure its safe and sound operation. To that end, Cornerstone Bank maintains investments having maturities of 5 years or less, sells loans into the secondary market and borrows funds from the FHLB. These activities are intended to provide a source of relatively liquid funds on which Cornerstone may rely, if necessary, to fund deposit withdrawals or other short-term funding needs. At

16.

WESTERN OHIO FINANCIAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

March 31, 2004 Cornerstone had commitments to originate residential loans totaling $2.2 million and $7.9 million of non-residential real estate loans. In addition, Cornerstone had $2.7 million in commitments to fund loans on residential properties under construction as well as $3.5 million in commitments to fund other mortgage loans. Unused commercial lines of credit were $7.0 million and unused home equity lines of credit were $17.6 million. Commitments to originate nonmortgage loans total $387,000. Cornerstone considers its liquidity sufficient to meet its outstanding short and long-term needs.

Capital Resources

Cornerstone is required by regulations to meet certain minimum capital requirements, which must be generally as stringent as standards established for commercial banks. Current minimum capital requirements call for tangible capital of 1.5% of adjusted total assets, core capital (which, for Cornerstone, consists solely of tangible capital) of 4.0% of adjusted total assets, except for institutions with the highest examination rating and acceptable levels of risk, and risk-based capital (which, for Cornerstone, consists of core capital and general valuation allowances) of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets (assets are weighted at percentage levels ranging from 0% to 100% depending on their relative risk).

The following table summarizes Cornerstone’s minimum regulatory capital requirements and actual levels of tangible, core and risk-based capital at March 31, 2004.

Cornerstone also exceeded the minimum requirements to be considered well capitalized under the prompt corrective action provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991.

The following table indicates the amounts of significant commitments at March 31, 2004.

WESTERN OHIO FINANCIAL CORPORATION
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE
ABOUT MARKET RISK

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the Company’s financial condition will be adversely affected due to movements in interest rates. The income of financial institutions is primarily derived from the excess of interest earned on interest-earning assets over the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. One method used to analyze the Company’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates is the “net portfolio value” (“NPV”) methodology. NPV is generally considered to be the present value of the difference between expected incoming cash flows on interest-earning and other assets and expected outgoing cash flows on interest-bearing and other liabilities.

The following tables present an analysis of the potential sensitivity of the Bank’s net present value of its financial instruments to sudden and sustained changes in the prevailing interest rates.

During the past few years interest rates have declined to historically low levels and as a result many of the Bank’s deposits are priced within 100 basis points of a zero interest rate floor. As the March 31, 2004 table suggests, should overall rates and loan yields continue to decline, the Bank’s inability to reduce rates below the zero floor could negatively impact Cornerstone’s NPV and future earnings. The decline in NPV from prior periods is due to the increase in prepayments in our loan portfolio and extended duration of our Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Based upon the most recent movements in market interest rates, increases in commodity prices and the general level of economic activity, it appears that the greater risk for Cornerstone Bank within the next year would be an increase in interest rates rather than a decrease.

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the NPV approach. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayment on loans and mortgage-backed securities and early withdrawal levels from certificates of deposit would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in making risk calculations.
