The average yield on investment securities decreased 12 basis points to 4.83 percent during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 from 4.95 percent during the quarter ended December 31, 2007.

The average yield on FHLB β San Francisco stock decreased 348 basis points to 1.99 percent during the first six months of fiscal 2009 from 5.47 percent during the same period last year.
