NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. 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 months ended September 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-01, Topic 105 - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Codification is the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Codification does not change current GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Company adopted this standard for the interim reporting period ending September 30, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued an accounting standard related to fair value measurements, which was effective for the Company on July 1, 2008. This standard defined fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value, and expanded disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. On July 1, 2008 the Company adopted this accounting standard related to fair value measurements for the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities. The Company deferred adoption of this accounting standard related to fair value measurements for the Company’s nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for those items recognized or disclosed at fair value on an annual or more frequently recurring basis, until July 1, 2009. The adoption of this accounting standard related to fair value measurements for the Company’s nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities had no impact on retained earnings and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s statements of income and condition. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

In December 2007, the FASB issued an accounting standard related to business combinations which is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. This standard establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued an accounting standard related to noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. This standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among

WVS FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

other requirements, this statement requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC 810-10, Consolidation. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In March 2008, the FASB issued an accounting standard related to disclosures about derivatives and hedging activities, which is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities and therefore should improve the transparency of financial reporting. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2008, the FASB issued accounting guidance related to determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities, which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. This guidance clarified that instruments granted in share-based payment transactions can be participating securities prior to the requisite service having been rendered. A basic principle of this guidance is that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are to be included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. All prior-period EPS data presented (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) are required to be adjusted retrospectively to conform with this guidance. This accounting guidance was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This ASC provides additional guidance in determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting ASC 825-10-50, Financial Instruments, which relates to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet of companies at fair value. This guidance amended existing GAAP to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance impacting ASC 320-10, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities, which provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard related to the accounting for transfers of financial assets, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard enhances reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. This standard eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. This standard also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. This accounting standard was subsequently codified into ASC Topic 860. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

WVS FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). FAS 167, which amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (FIN 46(R)). Under FASB’s Codification at ASC 105-10-65-1-d, FAS No. 167 will remain authoritative until integrated into the FASB Codification. This statement prescribes a qualitative model for identifying whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (VIE) and eliminates the quantitative model prescribed by FIN 46(R). The new model identifies two primary characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (1) provides a company with the power to direct significant activities of the VIE, and (2) obligates a company to absorb losses of and/or provides rights to receive benefits from the VIE. FAS No. 167 requires a company to reassess on an ongoing basis whether it holds a controlling financial interest in a VIE. A company that holds a controlling financial interest is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and is required to consolidate the VIE. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. This ASU provides amendments for fair value measurements of liabilities. It provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating a fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance or fourth quarter 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures.

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted-average common shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share.


	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2009		2008

Weighted average common shares issued	3,805,636		3,805,636
Average treasury stock shares	(1,735,551	)	(1,613,860	)


Weighted average common shares and common stock equivalents used to calculate basic earnings per share	2,070,085		2,191,776
Additional common stock equivalents (stock options) used to calculate diluted earnings per share	—		7


Weighted average common shares and common stock equivalents used to calculate diluted earnings per share	2,070,085		2,191,783

There are no convertible securities that would affect the numerator in calculating basis and diluted earnings per share; therefore, net income as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Income is used.

At September 30, 2009, there were 125,127 options outstanding with an average exercise price of $16.20 which were anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2008, there were 608 options outstanding with an exercise price of $15.77 which were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

WVS FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

4. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE

The Company’s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which was approved by shareholders in October 2008, permits the grant of stock options or restricted shares to its directors and employees for up to 152,000 shares (up to 38,000 restricted shares may be issued). Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest based on five years of continuous service and have ten-year contractual terms.

During the periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded $5 thousand and $0, respectively, in compensation expense related to our share-based compensation awards. As of September 30, 2009, there was approximately $90 thousand of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation awards granted in fiscal 2009. That cost is expected to be recognized over the next five years.

In accordance with GAAP, the cash flows from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for stock-based awards (excess tax benefits) be classified as financing cash flows.

For purposes of computing results, the Company estimated the fair values of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The model requires the use of subjective assumptions that can materially affect fair value estimates. The fair value of each option is amortized into compensation expense on a straight line basis between the grant date for the option and each vesting date. The fair value of each stock option granted was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:


Assumptions
Volatility	7.49	%	to	11.63	%
Interest Rates	2.59	%	to	3.89	%
Dividend Yields	3.94	%	to	4.02	%
Weighted Average Life (in years)	3.75		to	4.00

The Company had 122,519 non-vested stock options outstanding at September 30, 2009, and no unvested stock options outstanding at September 30, 2008. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company issued 0 and 37,500 options, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of each stock option granted in the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was $0.78.

7. MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) include mortgage pass-through certificates (“PCs”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). With a pass-through security, investors own an undivided interest in the pool of mortgages that collateralize the PCs. Principal and interest is passed through to the investor as it is generated by the mortgages underlying the pool. PCs and CMOs may be insured or guaranteed by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), the Fannie Mae (“FNMA”) and the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”). CMOs may also be privately issued with varying degrees of credit enhancements. A CMO reallocates mortgage pool cash flow to a series of bonds (called traunches) with varying stated maturities, estimated average lives, coupon rates and prepayment characteristics.

The Company’s CMO portfolio is comprised of two segments: CMO’s backed by U.S. Government Agencies (“Agency CMO’s”) and CMO’s backed by single-family whole loans not guaranteed by a U.S. Government Agency (“Private-Label CMO’s”).

At September 30, 2009, our Agency CMO’s totaled $99.3 million as compared to $117.1 million at June 30, 2009. Our private-label CMO’s totaled $53.4 million at September 30, 2009 as compared to $57.0 million at June 30, 2009. The $21.4 million decrease in the CMO segment of our MBS portfolio was primarily due to repayments on our Agency CMO’s. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company received principal payments totaling $3.6 million on its private-label CMO’s. At September 30, 2009, approximately $152.7 million or 98.6% (book value) of the Company’s MBS portfolio, including CMO’s were comprised of adjustable or floating rate investments, as compared to $174.1 million or 98.8% at June 30, 2009. Substantially all of the Company’s floating rate MBS adjust monthly based upon changes in the one month LIBOR. The Company has no investment in multi-family or commercial real estate based MBS.

Due to prepayments of the underlying loans, and the prepayment characteristics of the CMO traunches, the actual maturities of the Company’s MBS are expected to be substantially less than the scheduled maturities.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the Company’s private-label CMO portfolio as of September 30, 2009. At the time of purchase, all of our private-label CMO’s were rated in the highest investment category by at least two ratings agencies.

The Company retained an independent third party to assist it in the determination of a fair value for each of its private-label CMO’s. This valuation is meant to be a “Level Three” valuation as defined by ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The valuation does not represent the actual terms or prices at which any party could purchase the securities. There is currently no active secondary market for private-label CMO’s and there can be no assurance that any secondary market for private-label CMO’s will develop.

In accordance with GAAP, revisions were made to the recognition and reporting requirements for Other-Than-Temporary-Impairments (“OTTI”) of debt securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity.

For debt securities, the “ability and intent to hold” provision was eliminated, and impairment is now considered to be other than temporary if an entity (1) intends to sell the security, (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis, or (3) does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the entity does not intend to sell the security). In addition, the probability standard relating to the collectability of cash flows was eliminated, and impairment is now considered to be other than temporary if the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security is less than the amortized cost basis of the security (any such shortfall is referred to as a credit loss).

The Company evaluates outstanding available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities in an unrealized loss position (i.e., impaired securities) for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis. In doing so, the Company considers many factors including, but not limited to: the credit ratings assigned to the securities by the Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs); other indicators of the credit quality of the issuer; the strength of the provider of any guarantees; the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than amortized cost; and whether the Company has the intent to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. In the case of its private label residential MBS, the Company also considers prepayment speeds, the historical and projected performance of the underlying loans and the credit support provided by the subordinate securities. These evaluations are inherently subjective and consider a number of quantitative and qualitative factors.

In the case of its private label residential MBS that exhibit adverse risk characteristics, the Company employs models to determine the cash flows that it is likely to collect from the securities. These models consider borrower characteristics and the particular attributes of the loans underlying the securities, in conjunction with assumptions about future changes in home prices and interest rates, to predict the likelihood a loan will default and the impact on default frequency, loss severity and remaining credit enhancement. A significant input to these models is the forecast of future housing price changes for the relevant states and metropolitan statistical areas, which are based upon an assessment of the various housing markets. In general, since the ultimate receipt of contractual payments on these securities will depend upon the credit and prepayment performance of the underlying loans and, if needed, the credit enhancements for the senior securities owned by the Company, the Company uses these models to

WVS FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

assess whether the credit enhancement associated with each security is sufficient to protect against likely losses of principal and interest on the underlying mortgage loans. The development of the modeling assumptions requires significant judgment.

In conjunction with our adoption of ASC Topic 820 effective June 30, 2009, the Company retained an independent third party to assist it with our private label CMO portfolio OTTI assessment. The independent third party utilized certain assumptions for producing the cash flow analyses used in the OTTI assessment. Key assumptions would include interest rates, expected market participant spreads and discount rates, housing prices, projected future delinquency levels and assumed loss rates on any liquidated collateral.

The Company reviewed the independent third party’s assumptions used in the September 30, 2009 OTTI process. Based on the results of this review, the Company deemed the independent third party’s assumptions to be reasonable and adopted them. However, different assumptions could produce materially different results, which could impact the Company’s conclusions as to whether an impairment is considered other-than-temporary and the magnitude of the credit loss.

If the Company intends to sell an impaired debt security, or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the impairment is other-than-temporary and is recognized currently in earnings in an amount equal to the entire difference between fair value and amortized cost.

In instances in which the Company determines that a credit loss exists but the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before the anticipated recovery of its remaining amortized cost basis, the OTTI is separated into (1) the amount of the total impairment related to the credit loss and (2) the amount of the total impairment related to all other factors (i.e., the noncredit portion). The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings and the amount of the total OTTI related to all other factors is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The total OTTI is presented in the Statement of Income with an offset for the amount of the total OTTI that is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Absent the intent or requirement to sell a security, if a credit loss does not exist, any impairment is considered to be temporary.

Regardless of whether an OTTI is recognized in its entirety in earnings or if the credit portion is recognized in earnings and the noncredit portion is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), the estimation of fair values has a significant impact on the amount(s) of any impairment that is recorded.

The noncredit portion of any OTTI losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss for debt securities classified as held-to-maturity is accreted over the remaining life of the debt security (in a pro rata manner based on the amount of actual cash flows received as a percentage of total estimated cash flows) as an increase in the carrying value of the security until the security is sold, the security matures, or there is an additional OTTI that is recognized in earnings. The noncredit portion of any OTTI losses on securities classified as available-for-sale is adjusted to fair value with an offsetting adjustment to the carrying value of the security. The fair value adjustment could increase or decrease the carrying value of the security.

In periods subsequent to the recognition of an OTTI loss, the other-than-temporarily impaired debt security is accounted for as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the OTTI at an amount equal to the previous amortized cost basis less the credit-related OTTI recognized in earnings. For debt securities for which credit-related OTTI is recognized in earnings, the difference between the new cost basis and the cash flows expected to be collected is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the security in a prospective manner based on the amount and timing of future estimated cash flows.

There are 56 positions that are impaired at September 30, 2009, including 17 positions in private-label collateralized mortgage obligations. Based on its analysis, management has concluded that the

WVS FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

securities portfolio has experienced unrealized losses and a decrease in fair value due to interest rate volatility, illiquidity in the marketplace, and credit deterioration in the U.S. mortgage markets. However, the decline is considered temporary, since the Company does not intend to sell these securities nor is it more likely than not the Company would be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

GAAP, among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities carried at fair value. Disclosures follow a hierarchal framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. The three broad levels are as follows:


Level I:		Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

Level II:		Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities include items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently, and items that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

Level III:		Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

The following tables present the assets reported on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value as of September 30, 2009, and June 30, 2009, by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by GAAP, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair values for securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.

The following table presents the assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value on a nonrecurring basis at June and September 30, 2009, by level within the fair value hierarchy.

Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract which creates an obligation or right to receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument from or to a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.

Fair value is defined as the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. If a quoted market price is available for a financial instrument, the estimated fair value would be calculated based upon the market price per trading unit of the instrument.

If no readily available market exists, the fair value estimates for financial instruments should be based upon management’s judgment regarding current economic conditions, interest rate risk, expected cash flows, future estimated losses, and other factors, as determined through various option pricing formulas or simulation modeling. As many of these assumptions result from judgments made by management based upon estimates, which are inherently uncertain, the resulting estimated values may

WVS FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

not be indicative of the amount realizable in the sale of a particular financial instrument. In addition, changes in the assumptions on which the estimated values are based may have a significant impact on the resulting estimated values.

As certain assets and liabilities, such as deferred tax assets, premises and equipment, and many other operational elements of WVS, are not considered financial instruments, but have value, this estimated fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full market value of WVS.

Estimated fair values have been determined by WVS using the best available data, as generally provided in internal Savings Bank regulatory, or third party valuation reports, using an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. The estimation methodologies used are as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Certificates of Deposit, Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable, and Other Borrowings

The fair value approximates the current book value.

Investment Securities, Mortgage-Backed Securities, and FHLB Stock

The fair value of investment and mortgage-backed securities is equal to the available quoted market price. If no quoted market price is available, fair value is estimated using the quoted market price for similar securities. Since the FHLB stock is not actively traded on a secondary market and held exclusively by member financial institutions, the estimated fair market value approximates the carrying amount.

Net Loans Receivable and Deposits

Fair value for consumer mortgage loans is estimated using market quotes or discounting contractual cash flows for prepayment estimates. Discount rates were obtained from secondary market sources, adjusted to reflect differences in servicing, credit, and other characteristics.

The estimated fair values for consumer, fixed-rate commercial, and multi-family real estate loans are estimated by discounting contractual cash flows for prepayment estimates. Discount rates are based upon rates generally charged for such loans with similar credit characteristics.

The estimated fair value for nonperforming loans is the appraised value of the underlying collateral adjusted for estimated credit risk.

Demand, savings, and money market deposit accounts are reported at book value. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based upon the discounted value of the contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using average market rates for deposits with similar average terms.

FHLB Advances

The fair values of fixed-rate advances are estimated using discounted cash flows, based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying amount on variable rate advances approximates their fair value.

Commitments to Extend Credit

These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale, and estimated fair values are not readily available. The carrying value, represented by the net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment, and the fair value, determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee over the term of the commitment using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar credit risk, is not considered material for disclosure.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

In the normal course of business, we, in an effort to help keep our shareholders and the public informed about our operations, may from time to time issue or make certain statements, either in writing or orally, that are or contain forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the U.S. federal securities laws. Generally, these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits from acquisitions made by or to be made by us, projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings, profitability or other aspects of operating results or other future developments in our affairs or the industry in which we conduct business. Forward-looking statements may be identified by reference to a future period or periods or by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipated,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or similar expressions.

Although we believe that the anticipated results or other expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that those results or expectations will be attained. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions (some of which are beyond our control), and as a result actual results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following, as well as those discussed elsewhere herein:

•

our investments in our businesses and in related technology could require additional incremental spending, and might not produce expected deposit and loan growth and anticipated contributions to our earnings;

•

general economic or industry conditions could be less favorable than expected, resulting in a deterioration in credit quality, a change in the allowance for loan losses or a reduced demand for credit or fee-based products and services;

•

changes in the interest rate environment could reduce net interest income and could increase credit losses;

•

the conditions of the securities markets could change, which could adversely affect, among other things, the value or credit quality of our assets, the availability and terms of funding necessary to meet our liquidity needs and our ability to originate loans and leases;

•

changes in the extensive laws, regulations and policies governing financial holding companies and their subsidiaries could alter our business environment or affect our operations;

•

the potential need to adapt to industry changes in information technology systems, on which we are highly dependent, could present operational issues or require significant capital spending;

•

competitive pressures could intensify and affect our profitability, including as a result of continued industry consolidation, the increased availability of financial services from non-banks, technological developments such as the internet or bank regulatory reform; and

•

acts or threats of terrorism and actions taken by the United States or other governments as a result of such acts or threats, including possible military action, could further adversely affect

business and economic conditions in the United States generally and in our principal markets, which could have an adverse effect on our financial performance and that of our borrowers and on the financial markets and the price of our common stock.

You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update them in light of new or future events except to the extent required by federal securities laws.

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, FDIC-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 September 30, 2009.

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 $370.0 million at September 30, 2009, as compared to $419.4 million at June 30, 2009. The $49.4 million or 11.8% decrease in total assets was primarily comprised of a $21.4 million or 12.3% decrease in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) – held to maturity, a $18.5 million or 84.5% decrease in cash and cash equivalents, a $6.2 million or 25.1% decrease in FDIC insured certificates of deposit, a $2.9 million or 2.4% decrease in investment securities – held to maturity, and a $320 thousand or 13.6% decrease in accrued interest receivable. The decrease in mortgage-backed securities – held to maturity was primarily due to paydowns on the Company’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio. During this quarter ended September 30, 2009, overall replacement yields on floating rate MBS were not attractive. As a result, the Company chose to pay down a portion of its short-term borrowings instead of repurchasing floating-rate MBSs. The decrease in FDIC insured certificates of deposit was primarily due to $6.3 million in redemptions of bank certificates of deposit which were partially offset by $100 thousand of purchases of bank certificates of deposit. The decrease in investment securities held to maturity was primarily due to $12.6 million of issuer redemptions prior to maturity (i.e. calls) of fixed-rate U.S. Government agency bonds, $5.7 million of maturities of investment grade corporate bonds and $1.0 million of called tax-free municipal bonds, which were partially offset by purchases of a $9.6 million of fixed-rate investment grade corporate bonds, $3.0 million of U.S. Government agency step-up notes, $954 thousand of floating rate investment grade corporate bonds, $760 thousand of callable fixed rate U.S. Government agency bonds, and $418 thousand of fixed rate investment grade foreign bonds. See “Asset and Liability Management”.

The Company’s total liabilities decreased $49.3 million or 12.7% to $339.0 million as of September 30, 2009 from $388.3 million as of June 30, 2009. The $49.3 million decrease in total liabilities was primarily comprised of a $53.5 million or 49.2% decrease in short-term Federal Reserve Bank borrowings, which was partially offset by a $2.5 million or 1.7% increase in total savings deposits and a $1.7 million or 86.9% increase in other liabilities. The decrease in FRB short-term borrowings was funded primarily by a planned reduction of cash equivalents and investment cash flows received during the quarter. Demand deposits

increased $6.1 million and savings accounts increased $406 thousand, while certificates of deposit decreased $1.7 million, money market accounts decreased $1.7 million and advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance decreased $504 thousand. The increase in demand deposits was primarily due to increased balances held by local tax collectors, while the decrease in certificates of deposit and money market accounts may be in response to transactional needs by depositors and lower market yields in response to unsettled financial markets. Management believes that the changes in advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance were primarily attributable to seasonal payments of local and school real estate taxes. The change in other liabilities was primarily attributable to the Company’s commitment to purchase an investment security in early October.

Total stockholders’ equity decreased $158 thousand or 0.5% to $31.0 million as of September 30, 2009, from approximately $31.1 million as of June 30, 2009. Capital expenditures for cash dividends totaled $331 thousand, which was partially offset by net income of $171 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General. WVS reported net income of $171 thousand or $0.08 diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Net income decreased by $586 thousand or 77.4% and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.27 or 77.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to a $863 thousand decrease in net interest income and a $14 thousand decrease in non-interest income, which were partially offset by a $237 thousand decrease in income tax expense and a $63 thousand decrease in non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income. The Company’s net interest income decreased by $863 thousand or 46.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, approximately $843 thousand of the decrease in net interest income can be attributed to the impact of declining market interest rates on the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, and a $20 thousand decrease in net interest income attributable to lower overall balances in the Company’s financial assets and liabilities when compared to the same period in 2008.

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) held its targeted federal funds range at 0.00% to 0.25% as compared to 2.00% at September 30, 2008. See also “Asset and Liability Management.”

Interest Income. Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $1.4 million or 70.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to a 222 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield earned on U.S. Government agency floating rate mortgage-backed securities, a $46.0 million decrease in the average balance of U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities outstanding, a 235 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield earned on private label mortgage-backed securities and a $3.6 million decrease in the average balance of private label mortgage-backed securities outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in the weighted average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities was consistent with lower short-term market interest rates for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in the average balances of mortgage-backed securities during the three months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to principal paydowns of mortgage-backed securities during the period. Due to lower overall replacement yields in the floating rate MBS market, during the quarter ending September 30, 2009, the Company chose to pay down a portion of its short-term borrowings instead of repurchasing floating-rate MBSs.

Interest on investment securities decreased by $377 thousand or 22.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to $1.1 million decrease in interest income on callable U.S.

Government agency bonds which was partially offset by a $732 thousand increase in interest income on corporate bonds. During the quarter ending September 30, 2009, the Company chose to selectively invest in investment grade corporate bonds. This strategy allowed us to earn additional interest income while avoiding longer duration government agency securities.

Dividends on FHLB stock decreased $91 thousand or 100.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was attributable to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh’s suspension of dividends on its common stock. In December 2008, the FHLB of Pittsburgh announced that it was suspending payments of dividends and redemptions of excess capital stock from members. The FHLB’s stated purpose of these actions is to build retained earnings to ensure adequate regulatory capital.

Interest on FDIC insured bank certificates of deposit increased $100 thousand or 117.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to a $12.4 million increase in the average portfolio balance of certificates of deposit, which was partially offset by a 23 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield earned when compared to the same period in 2008. The Company began investing in FDIC insured certificates of deposit during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 due to relatively attractive yields in this investment sector. The certificates ranged in maturity terms from five to twenty-four months.

Interest on net loans receivable increased $76 thousand or 7.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to an increase of 49 basis points in the weighted average yield earned on net loans receivable for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008, and a $316 thousand increase in the average balance of net loans receivable outstanding, when compared to the same period in 2008. The increase in the weighted average yield earned on net loans receivable for the three months ended September 30, 2009, was primarily attributable to the recognition of deferred loan fee income on a previously classified non-accrual commercial real estate loan which was paid off in full in the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The increase in the average loan balance outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was attributable in part to increased levels of new loan originations among construction and commercial real estate loan products. 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. Interest expense on deposits and escrows decreased $329 thousand or 46.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in interest expense on deposits for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to a 129 basis point decrease in the weighted average rate paid on time deposits, a 119 basis point decrease in the weighted average rate paid on money market accounts, and a $6.2 million decrease in the average balance of time deposits, when compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in average yields of time deposits and money markets reflects lower market rates for the three months ended September 30, 2009 while the change in average balances for time deposits may be in response to increased liquidity preferences by depositors in response to unsettled financial markets.

Interest paid on other short-term borrowings decreased $294 thousand or 99.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to a $51.5 million decrease in average balances of other short-term borrowings and a 178 basis point decrease in rates paid on other short-term borrowings during the period. The decrease in rates paid reflect lower short-term market interest rates while the decrease in average balances of other short-term borrowings is attributable to more favorable short-term borrowing rates offered by the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB).

Interest paid on FHLB advances decreased $154 thousand or 7.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was attributable to a $5.5 million decrease in the average balance of FHLB long-term

advances, and a $16.7 million decrease in the average balance of FHLB short-term advances when compared to the same period in 2008. The decreases in the average balance of FHLB long-term borrowings was due to the maturity of FHLB long-term borrowings. The decreases in the average balances of FHLB short-term advances was primarily attributable to more favorable short-term borrowing rates offered by the Federal Reserve Bank.

Interest paid on FRB short-term borrowings decreased $45 thousand or 52.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was attributable to a 202 basis point decrease in the weighted average rate paid on FRB short-term borrowings, which was partially offset by a $49.1 million increase in the average balances of FRB short-term borrowings. The decrease in rates paid reflect lower short-term market interest rates, while the increase in average balances of FRB short-term borrowings is attributable to more favorable short-term borrowing rates offered by the Federal Reserve Bank.

Provision (Recovery) for Loan Losses. A provision (recovery) for loan losses is charged (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 provision for loan losses of $3 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to a recovery for loan losses of $6 thousand for the same period in 2008. At September 30, 2009, the Company’s total allowance for loan losses amounted to $659 thousand or 1.1% of the Company’s total loan portfolio, as compared to $662 thousand or 1.1% at June 30, 2009.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased by $14 thousand or 8.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in service fee income on deposit accounts.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $63 thousand or 6.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was principally attributable to a $100 thousand decrease in charitable contributions eligible for PA tax credits, and a $21 thousand decrease in employee related expenses, which were partially offset by a $73 thousand increase in Federal Deposit insurance expense when compared to the same period in 2008.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $237 thousand or 81.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to lower levels of taxable income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $717 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2009. Net cash provided by operating activities was primarily comprised of a $349 thousand decrease in accrued interest receivable, $298 thousand in amortization of discounts, premiums and deferred loan fees, $171 thousand of net income, and $58 thousand increase in accrued and deferred income taxes, which were partially offset by $149 thousand used in various other operating activities.

Funds provided by investing activities totaled $32.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009. Primary sources of funds during the three months ended September 30, 2009, included maturities and repayments of investment securities, mortgage-backed securities and certificates of deposit totaling $19.4 million, $21.5 million and $6.3 million, respectively, which were partially offset by purchases of investments, and certificates of deposit totaling $14.7 million and $100 thousand, respectively.

Funds used for financing activities totaled $51.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The primary uses included a $53.5 million decrease in short-term FRB borrowings, and $331 thousand

in cash dividends paid on the Company’s common stock, which were partially offset by a $2.4 million increase in deposits. The decrease in FRB short-term borrowings reflects lower short-term rates available through the Federal Reserve Bank. The $2.4 million increase in total deposits consisted of a $6.1 million increase in demand deposits, and a $406 thousand increase in passbook accounts, which were partially offset by a $1.7 million decrease in time deposit, a $1.7 million decrease in money market deposits and a $504 thousand decrease in mortgage escrow accounts. The increase in demand deposits is primarily attributable to higher balances held by local tax collectors, while the decrease in time deposits and money market accounts may be attributable to lower market yields on certificates of deposit and money market accounts and increased liquidity preferences by depositors in response to unsettled financial markets. The decreases in escrow accounts were due primarily to the payments of local property taxes by and for customers. Management believes that it currently is maintaining adequate liquidity and continues to match funding sources with lending and investment opportunities.

The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization, repayments and maturities of existing loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, funds from operations, and funds obtained through FHLB and FRB advances and other borrowings. At September 30, 2009, total approved loan commitments outstanding amounted to approximately $569 thousand. At the same date, commitments under unused lines of credit amounted to $4.9 million and the unadvanced portion of construction loans approximated $10.3 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 2009 totaled $45.7 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 FRB and other borrowings, to provide the cash utilized in investing activities. Management believes that the Company currently has adequate liquidity available to respond to liquidity demands.

On October 27, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.16 per share payable November 25, 2009, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 16, 2009. 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 September 30, 2009, WVS Financial Corp. exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and maintained Tier I and total risk-based capital equal to $31.0 million or 14.2% and $31.7 million or 14.5%, respectively, of total risk-weighted assets, and Tier I leverage capital of $31.0 million or 8.12% of average quarterly assets.

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 September 30, 2009 totaled approximately $1.6 million or 0.4% of total assets as compared to $953 thousand or 0.2% of total assets at June 30, 2009. Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2009 consisted of: six single-family real estate loans totaling $1.1 million, one home equity line of credit totaling $300 thousand and one construction loan totaling $235 thousand. These loans are in various stages of collection activity.

The $669 thousand increase in nonperforming assets during the three months ended September 30, 2009 was attributable to the classification to non-performing of: three single family real estate loans totaling

$862 thousand and one home equity line of credit totaling $300 thousand, which were partially offset by the reclassification of; one multi-family real estate loan totaling $465 thousand and one home equity loan totaling $21 thousand, (both of which paid current in the quarter) to performing, the charge-off of one commercial loan totaling $6 thousand, and paydowns on non-performing loans of $1 thousand.

At June 30, 2009, the Company had one previously restructured commercial real estate loan to a retirement village located in the North Hills totaling $972 thousand. At June 30, 2009, the loan was reclassified as performing, and was paid off in full in July 2009.

At September 30, 2009, the Company had one previously restructured loan secured by undeveloped land totaling $304 thousand and one previously restructured unsecured loan totaling $5 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, the Company had recorded interest payments received on a cost recovery basis until June 30, 2006 and is now recording interest income.

During the three months ended September 30, 2009, approximately $6 thousand of interest income would have been recorded on loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis 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 three months ended September 30, 2009. 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.

ITEM 3.

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 quarter ended September 30, 2009, intermediate and long-term market interest rates trended lower. Reinvestment yields on floating rate mortgage-backed securities were also lower. Both the Treasury and MBS markets were impacted by historically high purchases by the Federal Reserve. In response to these market conditions, the Company adopted a more defensive posture. We paid down a portion of our short-term debt through a planned reduction in cash equivalents and cash inflows from our MBS and investment portfolio. This deleveraging also favorably impacted our regulatory capital ratios.

The table below shows the targeted federal funds rate and the benchmark two and ten year treasury yields at June 30, 2007, September 30, 2007, December 31, 2007, March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008, September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009. The difference in yields on the two year and ten year Treasury’s is often used to determine the steepness of the yield curve and to assess the term premium of market interest rates.


			Yield on:
	Targeted Federal Funds		Two (2) Year Treasury		Ten (10) Year Treasury		Shape of Yield Curve

June 30, 2007	5.25	%	4.87	%	5.03	%	Slightly Positive
September 30, 2007	4.75	%	3.97	%	4.59	%	Moderately Positive
December 31, 2007	4.25	%	3.05	%	4.04	%	Positive
March 31, 2008	2.25	%	1.62	%	3.45	%	Positive
June 30, 2008	2.00	%	2.63	%	3.99	%	Positive
September 30, 2008	2.00	%	2.00	%	3.85	%	Positive
December 31, 2008	0.00% to 0.25	%	0.76	%	2.25	%	Positive
March 31, 2009	0.00% to 0.25	%	0.81	%	2.71	%	Positive
June 30, 2009	0.00% to 0.25	%	1.11	%	3.53	%	Positive
September 30, 2009	0.00% to 0.25	%	0.95	%	3.31	%	Positive

These changes in intermediate and long-term market interest rates, the changing slope of the Treasury yield curve, and continued high levels of interest rate volatility have impacted prepayments on the Company’s loan, investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios. Principal repayments on the Company’s loan, investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios for the three months ended September 30, 2009, totaled $5.4 million, $19.4 million and $21.5 million, respectively. Due to a marked reduction of global interest rates and Treasury yields, high market volatility, and the changing spreads available on investment securities, the Company continued to rebalance its investment portfolio by using proceeds from calls of U.S. Government agency bonds and repayments on its mortgage-backed securities to pay down a portion of our short-term debt and investing in investment grade corporate obligations. A small portion of these cash flows were also reinvested back into callable U.S. Government agency bonds with maturities generally within fifteen years. This strategy has allowed the Company to improve its liquidity posture while managing overall interest rate risk.

Due to the term structure of market interest rates, continued weakness in the economy, an excess supply of existing homes available for sale, and lower levels of housing starts, 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 Bank’s market area. We expect that the housing market likely will continue to be weak throughout fiscal 2010. 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 continues to offer higher yielding home equity and small business loans to existing customers and seasoned prospective customers.

The Company continued to purchase short and intermediate-term investment grade corporate bonds to earn a favorable financing spread and to provide higher levels of liquidity due to turmoil in the current interest rate environment. To a lesser extent, the Company continued to purchase intermediate term fixed rate callable U. S. Government Agency bonds and FDIC insured bank certificates of deposit in order to earn a spread against the Company’s various borrowings while limiting interest rate risk within the portfolio. 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 money market and time deposit products.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, principal investment purchases were comprised of: fixed-rate investment grade corporate bonds - $9.6 million with a weighted average yield of 3.52%; U.S. Government agency step-up bonds with an initial lock-out periods of 6 months - $3.0 million with a weighted average yield to call of approximately 5.11%; floating-rate investment grade corporate bonds - $954 thousand with a weighted average yield of 2.61%; callable fixed rate U.S. Government agency bonds with initial lock-out periods of 7 – 8 months - $760 thousand with a weighted average yield to call of 2.90%; fixed rate investment grade foreign bonds - $418 thousand with a weighted average yield of 2.38%; and FDIC insured bank certificates of deposit - $100 thousand with a weighted average yield of 2.45%. Major investment proceeds received during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 were: callable U.S. Government agency bonds - $12.6 million with a weighted average yield of approximately 4.53%; investment grade corporate bonds - $5.3 million with a weighted average yield of approximately 3.71%; tax-free municipal bonds - $1.0 million with a weighted average yield of approximately 6.38%; and investment grade corporate utility first mortgage bonds - $406 thousand with a weighted average yield of approximately 5.84%. The Company also had $6.3 million in FDIC insured bank certificates of deposit redeemed with a weighted average yield of approximately 3.71%.

As of September 30, 2009, the implementation of these asset and liability management initiatives resulted in the following:

$152.7 million or 55.4% of the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of floating rate mortgage-backed securities (including collateralized mortgage obligations – “CMO”) that reprice on a monthly basis;

$73.7 million or 26.8% of the Company’s investment portfolio consisted of investment grade fixed rate corporate bonds with maturities as follows: 3 – 6 months - $5.5 million; 6 – 12 months - $1.4 million; 1 – 3 years - $37.1 million; 3 – 5 years - $23.1 million; and over 5 years - $6.6 million.

$20.5 million or 7.5% of the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of fixed-rate callable U.S. Government Agency bonds which are callable as follows: 3 months or less - $9.2 million; 3 – 6 months - $4.0 million; 6 – 12 months - $4.7 million; and 1 – 3 years - $2.6 million; These bonds may or may not actually be redeemed prior to maturity (i.e. called) depending upon the level of market interest rates at their respective call dates.

$15.6 million or 5.7% of the Company’s investment portfolio consisted of investment grade floating rate corporate bonds which reprice quarterly and will mature within one to 28 months;

$3.0 million or 1.1% of the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of callable U.S. Government agency step-up bonds which are callable within 3 – 6 months;

$18.5 million or 5.0% of the Company’s total assets consisted of FDIC insured bank certificates of deposit with remaining maturities ranging from one to ten months;

An aggregate of $31.5 million or 54.3% of the Company’s net loan portfolio had adjustable interest rates or maturities of less than 12 months; and

The maturity distribution of the Company’s borrowings is as follows: 3 months or less - $55.3 million or 29.8%; 6 – 12 months - $45.6 million or 24.6%; 1 – 3 years - $67.0 million or 36.1%; 3 – 5 years - $5.0 million or 2.7%; and over 5 years - $12.5 million or 6.8%.

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.

As part of its asset/liability management strategy, the Company maintained an asset sensitive financial position. An asset sensitive financial position may benefit earnings during a period of rising interest rates and reduce earnings during a period of declining interest rates.

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.

Ratio of assets to liabilities maturing or repricing within one year		132.17	%		142.94	%		182.45	%

During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company managed its one year interest sensitivity gap by: (1) reducing a portion of its short-term borrowings; (2) adjusting its investment portfolio to include investment grade fixed and floating rate corporate bonds; (3) investing in shorter-term FDIC insured bank certificates of deposit; (4) emphasizing loans with shorter-terms or repricing frequencies, and (5) limiting the portfolio origination of long-term fixed rate mortgages.

The following table illustrates the Company’s estimated stressed cumulative repricing gap – the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities expected to reprice at a given point in time – at September 30, 2009. The table estimates the impact of an upward or downward change in market interest rates of 100 and 200 basis points.

The Company utilizes 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.

The following table presents the simulated impact of a 100 and 200 basis point upward or downward (parallel) shift in market interest rates on net interest income, return on average equity, return on average assets and the market value of portfolio equity at September 30, 2009. This analysis was done assuming that the interest-earning assets will average approximately $392 million and $420 million over a projected twelve and twenty-four month period, respectively, for the estimated impact on change in net interest income, return on average equity and return on average assets. The estimated changes in market value of equity were calculated using balance sheet levels at September 30, 2009. Actual future results could differ materially from our estimates primarily due to unknown future interest rate changes and the level of prepayments on our investment and loan portfolios and future FDIC regular and special assessments.

The Company’s first quarter earnings were adversely impacted by low market interest rates as opposed to loan write-offs. This period of low interest rates is expected to continue throughout most of fiscal 2010. During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we better positioned our balance sheet and franchise by reducing overall leverage, increasing deposits, avoiding low yielding assets, selectively pursuing seasoned new construction builders and increasing our Tier l leverage ratio to 8.12%.

Looking ahead, we believe that our net interest income should significantly improve over time. Our legacy long-term FHLB advances, taken out a number of years ago when interest rates were higher, will begin to mature as shown below.


Quarter Ended	Amount/$MM		Weighted Avg. Rate
6/30/10	$	20.579	5.86	%
9/30/10	$	25.000	5.77	%
12/31/10	$	35.000	5.44	%
3/31/11	$	10.000	4.99	%
6/30/11	$	17.000	5.28	%

In addition, our substantial floating rate mortgage-backed securities portfolio should perform well when interest rates begin to rise.

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 September 30, 2009, the Savings Bank had two performance standby letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $214 thousand and two financial letters of credit totaling $288 thousand. All performance letters of credit are secured by developed property while the financial letters of credit are secured by certificates of deposit. All of the letters of credit will mature within twelve months. In the event that the obligor is unable to perform its obligations as specified in the applicable letter of credit agreement, the Savings Bank would be obligated to disburse funds up to the amount specified in the letter of credit agreement. The Savings Bank maintains adequate collateral that could be liquidated to fund these contingent obligations.
