generally accepted accounting principles. However, all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management,
are
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations
for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, are not necessarily
indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal
year.
2. RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
June
2005, the FASB issued FAS No. 154, Accounting
Changes and Errors Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FAS
No.
3.
The
Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes
the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting
principle. FAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’
financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it
is
impractical. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes
in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period
of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle.
FAS No.154 improves the financial reporting because its requirements enhance
the
consistency of financial reporting between periods. The provisions of FAS No.
154 are effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

4. STOCK
BASED COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE
In
April
2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule that amends
the
compliance dates for FAS No. 123R. The Statement requires that compensation
cost
relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial
statements and that this cost be measured based on the fair value of the equity
or liability instruments issued. FAS No. 123R covers a wide range of share-based
compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans,
performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase
plans. The Company adopted FAS No. 123R on July 1, 2005. Management has
determined that unless additional options are granted, there will be no impact
on future earnings as a result of the adoption.

THE
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005

that 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. The Company wishes to advise readers
that
the factors listed above could affect the Company’s

publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to forward
looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.
GENERAL
WVS
Financial Corp. ("WVS" or the "Company") is the parent holding company of West
View Savings Bank ("West View" or the "Savings Bank"). The Company was organized
in July 1993 as a Pennsylvania-chartered unitary bank holding company and
acquired 100% of the common stock of the Savings Bank in November
1993.
West
View
Savings Bank is a Pennsylvania-chartered, SAIF-insured stock savings bank
conducting business from six offices in the North Hills suburbs of Pittsburgh.
The Savings Bank converted to the stock form of ownership in November 1993.
The
Savings Bank had no subsidiaries at December 31, 2005.
The
operating results of the Company depend primarily upon its net interest income,
which is determined by the difference between income on interest-earning assets,
principally loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, and
interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, which consist primarily of
deposits and borrowings. The Company's net income is also affected by its
provision for loan losses, as well as the level of its non-interest income,
including loan fees and service charges, and its non-interest expenses, such
as
compensation and employee benefits, income taxes, deposit insurance and
occupancy costs.
FINANCIAL
CONDITION
The
Company's assets totaled $444.2 million at December 31, 2005, as compared to
$421.0 million at June 30, 2005. The $23.2 million or 5.5% increase in total
assets was primarily comprised of a $17.5 million or 10.8% increase in
mortgage-backed securities, a $9.9 million or 5.2% increase in investments
and
FHLB stock, and a $234 thousand or 6.6% increase in cash and cash equivalents,
which were partially offset by a $4.3 million or 7.2% decrease in net loans
receivable and a $222 thousand or 16.5% decrease in deferred taxes and other
assets. The increases in mortgage-backed and investment securities were
attributable to purchases of floating rate collateralized mortgage obligations
and callable fixed rate U.S. Government Agency bonds. The decrease in net loans
receivable were attributable to seasonal repayments
10
of
builder speculative construction loans and repayments caused by continued low
intermediate and long-term market interest rates. See “Asset and Liability
Management”.
The
Company's total liabilities increased $23.5 million or 6.0% to $415.3 million
as
of December 31, 2005, from $391.8 million as of June 30, 2005. The $23.5 million
increase in total liabilities was primarily comprised of a $24.4 million or
35.1% increase in other short-term borrowings and a $12.5 million or 8.1%
increase in short-term FHLB advances, which were partially offset by a $13.8
million or 8.4% decrease in total savings deposits. Certificates of deposit
decreased $5.0 million primarily due to maturities of local government cash
management certificates, savings accounts decreased $4.9 million, demand
deposits decreased $4.4 million and advanced payments by borrowers for taxes
and
insurance decreased $349 thousand, while money market accounts increased $758
thousand.
Total
stockholders' equity decreased $299 thousand or 1.0% to $28.9 million as of
December 31, 2005, from approximately $29.2 million as of June 30, 2005. Cash
dividends and capital expenditures for the Company’s stock repurchase program of
$760 thousand and $686 thousand, respectively, and a $72 thousand decrease
in
accumulated other comprehensive income were partially offset by Company net
income of $1.2 million.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
General.
WVS
reported net income of $610 thousand or $0.26 diluted earnings per share and
$1.2 million or $0.51 diluted earnings per share for the three and six months
ended December 31, 2005, respectively. Net income increased by $21 thousand
or
3.6% and diluted earnings per share increased $0.02 or 8.3% for the three months
ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. The increase
in net income was primarily attributable to a $81 thousand increase in net
interest income, a $38 thousand increase in recoveries for loan losses and
a $35
thousand decrease in non-interest expense, which were partially offset by a
$99
thousand decrease in non-interest income and a $34 thousand increase in income
tax expense. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, net income decreased
by
$205 thousand or 14.4% and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.07 or 12.1%
when compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease for the six month period
was principally the result of a $301 thousand decrease in non-interest income
and a $143 thousand decrease in net interest income, which were partially offset
by a $183 thousand change in the provision for loan losses, a $31 thousand
decrease in income tax expense, and a $25 thousand decrease in non-interest
expense.
Net
Interest Income.
The
Company's net interest income increased by $81 thousand or 5.7% for the three
months ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. The
increase in net interest income for the three month period was primarily
attributable to higher yields earned on Company assets due to increases in
short-term market interest rates and higher average balances of mortgage-backed
securities which were partially offset by higher rates paid on other short-term
borrowings, lower average balances of investment securities, including FHLB
stock, higher rates paid on deposit accounts and higher average balances of
other short-term borrowings. The Company’s net interest income decreased $143
thousand or 4.6% for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in
net
interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily
attributable to decreased average balances of investment securities including
FHLB Stock, increased rates paid on other short-term borrowings and deposits
which were partially offset by higher average balances of mortgage-backed
securities and higher yields earned on mortgage-backed and investment
securities, including FHLB stock.
Interest
Income.
Total
interest and dividend income increased $888 thousand or 20.2% and $1.3 million
or 14.7% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively,
when compared to the same periods in 2004.
Interest
on mortgage-backed securities increased $1.2 million or 112.1% for the three
months ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. The
increase for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable
to a $61.1 million increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities
outstanding for the period and a 144 basis point increase in the average
yield
11
earned
on
mortgage-backed securities when compared to the same period in 2004. Interest
on
mortgage-backed securities increased $2.5 million or 151.2% for the six months
ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. The increases
for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to a
$77.9
million increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities
outstanding for the period, and a 133 basis point increase in the average yield
earned on mortgage-backed securities when compared to the same period in 2004.
The increases in the weighted average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities
were consistent with market conditions for the three and six months ended
December 31, 2005. The increase in the average balances of mortgage-backed
securities during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily
attributable to purchases of floating rate mortgage-backed
securities.
Interest
and dividend income on interest-bearing deposits with other institutions,
investment securities and FHLB stock (“other investment securities”) decreased
by $253 thousand or 11.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2005 when
compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease was principally attributable
to a $15.6 million decrease in the average balance outstanding of tax-exempt
investment securities and a 96 basis point decrease in the weighted average
yield earned on other investment securities for the three months ended December
31, 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004. Interest and dividend income
on other investment securities decreased $1.1 million or 21.9% for the six
months ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. The
decrease for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable
to a $57.8 million decrease in the average balance of other investment
securities outstanding which was partially offset by a 24 basis point increase
in the weighted average yield earned on other investment securities outstanding,
when compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease in the average balances
of other investment securities was primarily to fund the Company’s purchases of
floating rate mortgage-backed securities and issuer redemptions.
Interest
on net loans receivable decreased $58 thousand or 5.5% for the three months
ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease
for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was attributable to a decrease
of
$5.8 million in the average balance of net loans receivable outstanding which
was partially offset by an increase of 26 basis points in the weighted average
yield earned on net loans receivable, when compared to the same period in 2004.
Interest on net loans receivable decreased $101 thousand or 4.7% for the six
months ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. The
decrease for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was attributable to a $5.6
million decrease in the average balance of net loans receivable outstanding
which was partially offset by an increase of 28 basis points in the weighted
average yield earned on net loans receivable when compared to the same period
in
2004. The decrease in the average loan balance outstanding for the three and
six
months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to increased levels
of
mortgage prepayments and refinancings due to low market rates on mortgages.
As
part of its asset/liability management strategy, the Company has limited its
portfolio origination of longer-term fixed rate loans to mitigate its exposure
to a rise in market interest rates. The Company will continue to originate
longer-term fixed rate loans for sale on a correspondent basis to increase
non-interest income and to contribute to net income.
Interest
Expense. Total
interest expense increased $807 thousand or 27.1% and $1.4 million or 25.2%
for
the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, when compared
to
the same periods in 2004.
Interest
on FHLB advances and other borrowings increased $578 thousand or 23.6% for
the
three months ended December 31, 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004.
The increase for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was attributable
to a
73 basis point increase in the weighted average rate paid on FHLB advances
and
other borrowings for the period and a $13.0 million increase in the average
balance of such borrowings when compared to the same period in 2004. Interest
on
FHLB advances and other borrowings increased $1.0 million or 21.7% for the
six
months ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. The
increase for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was attributable to a 61
basis point increase in the weighted average rate paid on FHLB advances and
other borrowings for the period and a $14.2 million increase in the average
balance of such borrowings when compared to the same period in 2004. The
weighted average rates paid on FHLB advances and other borrowings increased
due
to increases in short-term market interest rates.
12
Interest
expense on deposits and escrows increased $229 thousand or 43.5% for the three
months ended December 31, 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004. The
increase in interest expense on deposits and escrows for the three months ended
December 31, 2005 was attributable to a 67 basis point increase in the average
rate paid on interest-bearing deposits when compared to the same period in
2004.
Interest expense on deposits and escrows increased $426 thousand or 40.9% for
the six months ended December 31, 2005 when compared to the same period in
2004.
The increase in interest expense on deposits and escrows for the six months
ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to a 60 basis point increase
in the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits and a higher
proportion of average time deposits to total deposits when compared to the
same
period in 2004. The weighted average yield paid on interest-bearing deposits
reflects increases in market interest rates.
Provision
(Recovery) for Loan Losses.
A
provision for loan losses is charged, and a recovery for loan losses is
credited, to earnings to maintain the total allowance at a level considered
adequate by management to absorb potential losses in the portfolio. Management's
determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of
the
portfolio considering past experience, current economic conditions, volume,
growth and composition of the loan portfolio, and other relevant
factors.
The
Company recorded a credit provision for loan losses of $45 thousand for the
three months ended December 31, 2005 compared to a $7 thousand credit provision
for the same period in 2004. The $45 thousand credit provision during the
quarter ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to paydowns of
non-accrual loans. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, the Company
recorded a $111 thousand credit provision for loan losses compared to recording
a provision of $72 thousand for the same period in 2004. The $111 thousand
credit provision for loan losses for the six months ending December 31, 2005
is
primarily the result of the Company reallocating $35 thousand of its allowance
for loan loss attributable to off balance sheet liabilities (builder letters
of
credit and undisbursed lines of credit) to a separate reserve account for
financial reporting purposes during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and a
$53
thousand reduction due to continued paydowns of non-accrual loans. At December
31, 2005, the Company’s total allowance for loan losses amounted to $1.0 million
or 1.5% of the Company’s total loan portfolio, as compared to $1.1 million or
1.5% at June 30, 2005.
Non-Interest
Income.
Non-interest income decreased $99 thousand or 37.2% and $301 thousand or 44.7%
for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, when
compared to the same periods in 2004. The decreases were primarily attributable
to pre-tax securities gains of $99 thousand and $329 thousand for the three
and
six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, compared to pre-tax security
gains of $0 and $30 thousand for the same periods in 2005.
Non-Interest
Expense.
Non-interest expense decreased $35 thousand or 3.9% and $25 thousand or 1.4%
for
the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, when compared
to
the same periods in 2004. The decrease for the three months ended December
31,
2005 was primarily attributable to a $14 thousand decrease in fixed asset
depreciation and maintenance costs, an $8 thousand decrease in employee related
costs, a $7 thousand decrease in ATM network expense and a $6 thousand decrease
in legal expenses and costs. The decrease for the six months ended December
31,
2005 was primarily attributable to a $42 thousand decrease in employee related
costs and an $18 thousand decrease in fixed asset depreciation and maintenance
costs which were partially offset by a $34 thousand reallocation of a portion
of
the Company’s allowance for loan loss attributable to off-balance sheet
liabilities as discussed above.
13
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net
cash
provided by operating activities totaled $1.5 million during the six months
ended December 31, 2005. Net cash provided by operating activities was primarily
comprised of $1.2 million of net income, a $227 thousand increase in accrued
interest payable and a $206 thousand increase in accrued and deferred
taxes.
Funds
used for investing activities totaled $22.9 million during the six months ended
December 31, 2005. Primary uses of funds during the six months ended December
31, 2005 were $164.7 million of purchases of investment and mortgage-backed
securities including Federal Home Loan Bank stock, which were partially offset
by $136.4 million from repayments of investments and mortgage-backed securities
including Federal Home Loan Bank stock, a $4.4 million decrease in net loans
receivable and $1.0 million from the sale of mortgage-backed securities from
the
Company’s portfolio.
Funds
provided by financing activities totaled $21.6 million for the six months ended
December 31, 2005. The primary sources included a $24.4 million increase in
other short-term borrowings, and a $12.5 million increase in FHLB short-term
advances which were partially offset by a $13.8 million decrease in deposits
and
escrows, $760 thousand in cash dividends paid on the Company’s common stock and
$686 thousand in purchased treasury stock. Management believes that the Company
currently is maintaining adequate liquidity and continues to match funding
sources with lending and investment opportunities.
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company incurred $675.8 million in
other short-term borrowings with a weighted average rate of 4.13% and incurred
approximately $24.8 million in various short-term borrowings from the FHLB
with
a weighted average rate of 4.33%. During the three months ended December 31,
2005, the Company repaid $650.9 million of other short-term borrowings with
weighted average rates of 4.06% and $14.2 million of various short-term
borrowings from the FHLB with weighted average rates of 3.88%.
The
Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, repayments and maturities of
existing loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, funds
from
operations, and funds obtained through FHLB advances and other borrowings.
At
December 31, 2005, the total approved loan commitments outstanding amounted
to
$998 thousand. At the same date, commitments under unused lines of credit
amounted to $6.4 million and the unadvanced portion of construction loans
approximated $9.8 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one
year or less at December 31, 2005 totaled $41.4 million. Management believes
that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with the
Company.
Historically,
the Company used its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments
to pay maturing savings certificates and savings withdrawals, fund loan
commitments and maintain a substantial portfolio of investment securities.
The
Company has been able to generate sufficient cash through the retail deposit
market, its traditional funding source, and through FHLB advances and other
borrowings, to provide the cash utilized in investing activities. The Company
also has access to the Federal Reserve Bank Primary Credit Program. Management
believes that the Company currently has adequate liquidity available to respond
to liquidity demands.
On
January 31, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend
of
$0.16 per share payable February 16, 2006, to shareholders of record at the
close of business on February 6, 2006. Dividends are subject to determination
and declaration by the Board of Directors, which take into account the Company's
financial condition, statutory and regulatory restrictions, general economic
conditions and other factors. There can be no assurance that dividends will
in
fact be paid on the Common Stock in future periods or that, if paid, such
dividends will not be reduced or eliminated.
As
of
December 31, 2005, WVS Financial Corp. exceeded all regulatory capital
requirements and maintained Tier I and total risk-based capital equal to $28.8
million or 21.8% and $29.9 million or 22.6%, respectively, of total
risk-weighted assets, and Tier I leverage capital of $28.8 million or 6.70%
of
average quarterly assets.
14
Nonperforming
assets consist of nonaccrual loans and real estate owned. A loan is placed
on
nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of
collection of interest is deemed insufficient to warrant further accrual. When
a
loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but uncollected interest
is deducted from interest income. The Company normally does not accrue interest
on loans past due 90 days or more, however, interest may be accrued if
management believes that it will collect on the loan.
The
Company's nonperforming assets at December 31, 2005 totaled approximately $503
thousand or 0.11% of total assets as compared to $1.1 million or 0.25% of total
assets at June 30, 2005. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2005 consisted
of:
one land loan totaling $367 thousand, one single-family real estate loan
totaling $58 thousand, one unsecured bankruptcy claim totaling $53 thousand,
one
line of credit totaling $17 thousand and one single-family property subject
to
redemption totaling $10 thousand.
The
$554
thousand decrease in nonperforming assets during the six months ended December
31, 2005 was primarily attributable to the payoff in full of one non-performing
speculative construction loan totaling approximately $456 thousand, the sale
of
a single-family home with a carrying value of approximately $70 thousand,
principal paydowns totaling approximately $26 thousand on two claims related
to
a bankruptcy discussed below, the reclassification of an $11 thousand home
equity line of credit loan from non-performing to performing status and a $7
thousand partial charge off and transfer to other assets of a home equity loan
which were partially offset by the addition to non-accrual status of one line
of
credit secured by real property totaling approximately $17
thousand.
At
December 31, 2005, the Company had one non-performing loan secured by
undeveloped land totaling $367 thousand and one unsecured bankruptcy claim
totaling $53 thousand to two borrowers. During the fourth quarter of fiscal
2004, the Bankruptcy Court approved a secured claim totaling $440 thousand
and
an unsecured claim totaling $76 thousand be paid in accordance with a Bankruptcy
Plan of Reorganization. All Court ordered plan payments have been received
in a
timely manner. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
payments received are being applied on a cost recovery basis.
During
the six months ended December 31, 2005, approximately $15 thousand of interest
income would have been recorded on loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis
and troubled debt restructurings if such loans had been current according to
the
original loan agreements for the entire period. These amounts were not included
in the Company’s interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The
Company continues to work with the borrowers in an attempt to cure the defaults
and is also pursuing various legal avenues in order to collect on these
loans.

QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
ASSET
AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The
Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser
extent, liquidity risk. All of the Company's transactions are denominated in
US
dollars with no specific foreign exchange exposure. The Savings Bank has no
agricultural loan assets and therefore would not have a specific exposure to
changes in commodity prices. Any impacts that changes in foreign exchange rates
and commodity prices would have on interest rates are assumed to be exogenous
and will be analyzed on an ex post
basis.
Interest
rate risk ("IRR") is the exposure of a banking organization's financial
condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Accepting this risk can be
an
important source of profitability and shareholder value, however, excessive
levels of IRR can pose a significant threat to the Company's earnings and
capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains IRR at
prudent levels is essential to the Company's safety and soundness.
Evaluating
a financial institution’s exposure to changes in interest rates includes
assessing both the adequacy of the management process used to control IRR and
the organization’s quantitative level of exposure. When assessing the IRR
management process, the Company seeks to ensure that appropriate policies,
procedures, management information systems and internal controls are in place
to
maintain IRR at prudent levels with consistency and continuity. Evaluating
the
quantitative level of IRR exposure requires the Company to assess the existing
and potential future effects of changes in interest rates on its consolidated
financial condition, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity, and,
where
appropriate, asset quality.
Financial
institutions derive their income primarily from the excess of interest collected
over interest paid. The rates of interest an institution earns on its assets
and
owes on its liabilities generally are established contractually for a period
of
time. Since market interest rates change over time, an institution is exposed
to
lower profit margins (or losses) if it cannot adapt to interest-rate changes.
For example, assume that an institution's assets carry intermediate- or
long-term fixed rates and that those assets were funded with short-term
liabilities. If market interest rates rise by the time the short-term
liabilities must be refinanced, the increase in the institution’s interest
expense on its liabilities may not be sufficiently offset if assets continue
to
earn interest at the long-term fixed rates. Accordingly, an institution’s
profits could decrease on existing assets because the institution will either
have lower net interest income or, possibly, net interest expense. Similar
risks
exist when assets are subject to contractual interest-rate ceilings, or rate
sensitive assets are funded by longer-term, fixed-rate liabilities in a
decreasing-rate environment.
During
the six months ended December 31, 2005, the Federal Open Market Committee
increased its targeted federal funds rate by one-hundred basis points from
3.25%
at June 30, 2005 to 4.25% at December 31, 2005. The benchmark two and ten year
treasury yields were 4.38% and 4.37% respectively at December 31, 2005, as
compared to 3.66% and 3.94% respectively at June 30, 2005. These changes in
short, intermediate and long-term market interest rates and the flattening
of
the Treasury yield curve have precipitated continued prepayments in the
Company’s loan, investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios and a
marked compression of industry-wide net interest margins.
Principal
repayments on the Company’s loan, investment and mortgage-backed securities
portfolios for the six months ended December 31, 2005, totaled $14.9 million,
$66.3 million and $66.0 million, respectively. In response to higher levels
of
liquidity the Company rebalanced its loan, investment and mortgage-backed
securities portfolios.
Due
to
the term structure of market interest rates, the Company continued to reduce
its
portfolio originations of long-term fixed rate mortgages while continuing to
offer such loans on a correspondent basis. The Company also makes available
for
origination residential mortgage loans with interest rates which adjust pursuant
to a designated index, although customer acceptance has been somewhat limited
in
the Savings
16
Bank's
market area. The Company will continue to selectively offer commercial real
estate, land acquisition and development, and shorter-term construction loans,
primarily on residential properties, to partially increase interest income
while
limiting interest rate risk. The Company has also emphasized higher yielding
home equity and small business loans to existing customers and seasoned
prospective customers.
The
Company began to purchase fixed rate callable U. S. Government Agency bonds
in
order to earn a spread against the Company’s long-term FHLB advances while
limiting interest rate risk within the portfolio. Within the mortgage-backed
securities portfolio, the Company continued to purchase floating rate securities
in order to provide current income and in response to rising short-term market
interest rates. Each of the aforementioned strategies also helped to better
match the interest-rate and liquidity risks associated with the Savings Bank’s
customers’ liquidity preference for shorter term deposit products.
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2005, principal investment purchases were
comprised of: callable fixed rate government agency bonds which are callable
within six to thirty-six months - $50.5 million with a weighted average yield
to
call of approximately 6.09%; and floating rate collateralized mortgage
obligations which reprice monthly - $23.4 million with an original weighted
average yield of approximately 4.78%. Major investment proceeds received during
the quarter ended December 31, 2005 were: mortgage-backed securities - $26.2
million; callable government agency bonds - $15.0 million with a weighted
average yield of approximately 3.33%; corporate demand notes - $8.3 million
with
a weighted average quarterly yield of 4.67%; and tax-free municipal bonds -
$2.0
million with a weighted average yield of approximately 5.96%.
During
the six months ended December 31, 2005 principal investment purchases were
comprised of: floating rate collateralized mortgage obligations which reprice
monthly - $84.5 million with an original weighted average yield of 4.50%;
callable fixed rate government agency bonds which are callable within six to
thirty-six months - $50.5 million with a weighted average yield to call of
approximately 6.09%; and callable floating rate government agency bonds which
will reprice within twenty-four to thirty-three months - $25.0 million with
a
weighted average yield of approximately 5.07%. Major investment proceeds
received during the six months ended December 31, 2005 were: mortgage-backed
securities - $66.0 million; callable floating rate government agency bonds
-
$45.0 million with a weighted average yield of approximately 3.30%; tax-free
municipal bonds - $12.0 million with a weighted average yield of approximately
5.91%; and corporate demand notes - $7.3 million with a weighted average
semiannual yield of 4.34%.
As
of
December 31, 2005, the implementation of these asset and liability management
initiatives resulted in the following:
1)
|
$177.3
million or 98.7% of the Company’s portfolio of mortgage-backed securities
(including collateralized mortgage obligations - “CMOs”) were comprised of
floating rate instruments that reprice on a monthly
basis;
|
2)
|
$97.9
million or 50.8% of the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of
fixed to floating rate U.S. Government Agency bonds which will reprice
as
follows: 3 months or less - $15.0 million; 3 - 6 months - $10.0 million;
6
- 12 months - $32.9 million; and over 1 year - $40.0
million;
|
3)
|
$50.5
million or 26.2% of the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of
fixed-rate callable U.S. Government Agency bonds which are callable
as
follows: 6 months or less - $10.4 million; 6 - 12 months - $18.3
million;
1 - 2 years - $15.0 million; and over 2 years - $6.8
million;
|
4)
|
$30.1
million or 15.6% of the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of
U.S. Government Agency Step-up bonds which will reprice as follows:
1 year
or less - $14.9 million from 4.00% to 7.00%; 1 - 2 years - $8.5 million
from 4.00% to 7.00%, $2.0 million from 4.40% to 7.00%, and $4.7 million
from 4.70% to 6.00%;
|
5)
|
an
aggregate of $30.7 million or 54.0% of the Company’s net loan portfolio
had adjustable interest rates or maturities of less than 12
months;
|
6)
|
the
maturity distribution of the Company’s borrowings is as follows: 1 month
or less - $118.9 million or 45.4%; 1 - 6 months - $4.1 million or
1.6%; 1
- 3 years - $3.0 million or 1.2%; 3 - 5 years - $91.1 million or
34.8%;
and over 5 years - $44.5 million or
17.0%.

The
effect of interest rate changes on a financial institution's assets and
liabilities may be analyzed by examining the “interest rate sensitivity” of the
assets and liabilities and by monitoring an institution's interest rate
sensitivity "gap". An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive
within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within a given time
period. A gap is considered positive (negative) when the amount of rate
sensitive assets (liabilities) exceeds the amount of rate sensitive liabilities
(assets). During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend
to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of rising
interest rates, a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net
interest income.
The
following table sets forth certain information at the dates indicated relating
to the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which
are estimated to mature or are scheduled to reprice within one
year.

Beginning
in the third quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company began to utilize an income
simulation model to measure interest rate risk and to manage interest rate
sensitivity. The Company believes that income simulation modeling may enable
the
Company to better estimate the possible effects on net interest income due
to
changing market interest rates. Other key model parameters include: estimated
prepayment rates on the Company’s loan, mortgage-backed securities and
investment portfolios; savings decay rate assumptions; and the repayment terms
and embedded options of the Company’s borrowings.

In
the
ordinary course of its construction lending business, the Savings Bank enters
into performance standby letters of credit. Typically, the standby letters
of
credit are issued on behalf of a builder to a third party to ensure the timely
completion of a certain aspect of a construction project or land development.
At
December 31, 2005, the Savings Bank had ten performance standby letters of
credit outstanding totaling approximately $815 thousand. Four letters of credit
are secured by deposits with the Savings Bank, four letters of credit are
secured by undisbursed construction loan funds, and two letters of credit are
secured by developed property. Eight of the letters of credit will mature within
twelve months, one will mature within eighteen months, and one letter of credit
is open-ended. In the event that the obligor is unable to perform its
obligations as specified in the standby letter of credit agreement, the Savings
Bank would be obligated to disburse funds up to the amount specified in the
standby letter of credit agreement. The Savings Bank maintains adequate
collateral that could be liquidated to fund these contingent
obligations.
CONTROLS
