HOUSTON, TX USA
    HOUSTON, July 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Coastal Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: CBSA)
today reported net income available to common stockholders of $5.4 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2001, compared to $5.0 million for the same period
in 2000, which is a $345,000, or 6.88% increase.  Diluted earnings per share
for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 were $0.89 compared to $0.83 for the same
period last year.  The weighted average common shares outstanding used in the
diluted earnings per share calculations for the periods were 6,059,006 and
6,079,210, respectively.  Comparing the second quarter of 2001 to the second
quarter of 2000, the following were the changes in the components of net
income available to common stockholders:  net interest income decreased
$164,000 (but if the $1.1 million special stock dividend declared by the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas ("FHLB") in 2000 (the "FHLB special
dividend") is excluded, 2001 net interest income would have increased by
$897,000), the provision for loan losses decreased $390,000, noninterest
income increased $460,000 (which includes a $121,000 fair value gain on
derivative instruments due to the recording of Coastal's derivatives at fair
value pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (which
was adopted effective January 1, 2001) ("Statement 133")), noninterest expense
increased $180,000 and the provision for Federal income taxes increased
$161,000.

    Net Interest Income
    For the three months ended June 30, 2001, net interest income increased
$897,000 as compared to the same period in 2000, excluding the $1.1 million
FHLB special dividend recorded in 2000.  This increase was primarily due to
the increase in net interest margin to 2.99% for the three months ended
June 30, 2001 from 2.88% for the same period in 2000 (excluding the FHLB
special dividend).  This increase in net interest margin was primarily a
result of the 0.54% decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities, due primarily to the overall decrease in wholesale funding costs,
offset by a 0.44% decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets
(excluding the FHLB special dividend).  In addition, net interest margin was
positively impacted by a $23.6 million increase in average net interest-
earning assets.  Net interest margin (including the FHLB special dividend) for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 was 3.02%.  Comparing the quarter ended
June 30, 2001 to the same period in 2000, average interest-earning assets
increased $7.2 million.  This increase consisted primarily of a $68.5 million
increase in the average balance of loans receivable (which are higher yielding
than the other interest-earning assets held by Coastal), somewhat offset by
the $46.1 million decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed
securities and the $18.9 million decrease in the average balance of FHLB
stock.  Comparing the same periods, average interest-bearing liabilities
decreased $16.4 million.  This decrease was primarily comprised of a
$497.6 million decrease in the average balance of advances from the FHLB,
somewhat offset by a $413.7 million increase in securities sold under
agreements to repurchase and a $67.6 million increase in interest-bearing
deposits.

    Provision for Loan Losses
    During the second quarter of 2001, Coastal recorded a provision for loan
losses of $1.2 million compared to $1.6 million during the same period in
2000.  Overall during 2000 and continuing in 2001, Coastal continues to focus
on increasing the size of Coastal's commercial loan portfolio.
    At June 30, 2001, Coastal had nonperforming loans totaling $23.0 million.
Nonperforming loans are those loans on nonaccrual status as well as those
loans greater than ninety (90) days delinquent and still accruing interest.
Of the nonperforming loans at June 30, 2001, $19.3 million, or 84%, were first
lien residential (single family) mortgage loans, $1.5 million were commercial
real estate loans, $1.1 million were commercial financial and industrial loans
with the balance in the residential construction and consumer and other
categories.  At June 30, 2001, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage
of nonperforming loans was 63.3% compared to 68.3% at December 31, 2000.

    Noninterest Income, Noninterest Expense and Provision for Federal Income
Taxes
    The increase in noninterest income was comprised of the $121,000 fair
value gain on derivative instruments recorded during the quarter on Coastal's
interest rate swap and cap agreements, a $115,000 increase in service charges
on deposit accounts, a $110,000 increase in loan fees and a $157,000 increase
in other noninterest income, offset slightly by a $43,000 decrease in
servicing income due to the sale of Coastal's loan servicing portfolio in
2000.  The fair value changes in the derivative instruments were primarily
attributable to Coastal's interest rate swap positions, which were totally
liquidated in June 2001.  The increase in noninterest expense was due to the
$364,000 increase in compensation, payroll taxes and other benefits, offset by
smaller decreases in the other noninterest expense categories.  The provision
for Federal income taxes increased $161,000 primarily due to the increased
income before Federal income taxes and minority interest.

    Comparison for the Six Months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000
    Net income available to common stockholders for the first six months of
2001 was $9.9 million compared to $8.9 million for the same period in 2000.
Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were
$1.64 compared to $1.42 for the same period last year.  The weighted average
common shares outstanding used in the diluted earnings per share calculations
for the periods were 6,031,742 and 6,247,799, respectively.
    The increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was
comprised of the following compared to the prior six month period: a
$2.0 million increase in net interest income, a $1.9 million decrease in the
provision for loan losses and a slight decrease in noninterest expense,
somewhat offset by a $2.2 million decrease in noninterest income and a
$566,000 increase in the provision for Federal income taxes.  The increase in
net interest income was due primarily to the increase in net interest margin
to 2.99% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from 2.90% for the same period
in 2000, which includes the FHLB special dividend as described earlier.  Net
interest margin, excluding the FHLB special dividend, was 2.83% for the six
months ended June 30, 2000.  The decrease in noninterest income was primarily
due to the $2.2 million gain recorded on the sale of Coastal's mortgage
servicing rights during the first quarter of 2000, the related
$244,000 decrease in loan servicing income in 2001 and the fair value loss on
derivative instruments of $443,000 recorded in 2001 pursuant to Statement 133.
The net fair value loss for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was primarily
attributable to Coastal's interest rate swap positions, which were liquidated
in June 2001.   As of June 30, 2001, Coastal's interest rate cap agreements
were the only derivative instruments recorded at fair value pursuant to
Statement 133.  In addition, there were increases of $168,000 and $446,000 in
service charges on deposit accounts and other noninterest income,
respectively.  The decrease in noninterest expense was due to the decreases in
office occupancy, data processing, the amortization of goodwill and other
noninterest expense, offset by an increase of $493,000 in compensation,
payroll taxes and other benefits.
