WVS FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
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, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
2. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditors Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The amendments in this Update provide additional guidance or clarification to help creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments in this Update are effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, an entity may identify receivables that are newly considered impaired. For purposes of measuring impairment of those receivables, an entity should apply the amendments prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. The main objective in developing this Update is to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements (repos) and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The amendments in this Update remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities, both public and nonpublic. The amendments affect all entities that enter into agreements to transfer financial assets that both entitle and obligate the transferor to repurchase or redeem the financial assets before their maturity. The guidance in this Update is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this Update result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update improve the comparability, clarity, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. To increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of U.S. GAAP and IFRS, the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes
8
Table of Contents
in stockholders equity was eliminated. The amendments require that all non-owner changes in stockholders equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. All entities that report items of comprehensive income, in any period presented, will be affected by the changes in this Update. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
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.

|
|
There are no convertible securities that would affect the numerator in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share; therefore, net income as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Income is used.
At September 30, 2011, there were 124,824 options outstanding with an exercise price ranging from $15.77 to $16.20 which were anti-dilutive for the three month period. At September 30, 2010 there were 125,127 options outstanding with an exercise price ranging from $15.77 to $16.20 which were anti-dilutive for the three month period.
4. | STOCK BASED COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE |
The Companys 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 Companys 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 three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded $6 thousand and $6 thousand, respectively, in compensation expense related to our share-based compensation awards. As of September 30, 2011, there was approximately $44 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 three years.

Table of Contents
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (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) are 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) |
10 |
The Company had 67,374 non-vested stock options outstanding at September 30, 2011, and 89,035 unvested stock options outstanding at September 30, 2010. There were no stock options exercised or issued during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
5. | COMPREHENSIVE INCOME |
Other comprehensive income primarily reflects changes in net unrealized gains/losses on available-for-sale securities and the net non-credit component of Other than Temporary Impairments (OTTI) on the Companys held-to-maturity private-label CMO portfolio. Total comprehensive income is summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

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 Freddie Mac (FHLMC), 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 Companys CMO portfolio is comprised of two segments: CMOs backed by U.S. Government Agencies (Agency CMOs) and CMOs backed by single-family whole loans not guaranteed by a U.S. Government Agency (Private-Label CMOs).
At September 30, 2011, the Companys Agency CMOs totaled $51.9 million as compared to $47.8 million at June 30, 2011. The Companys private-label CMOs totaled $21.0 million at September 30, 2011 as compared to $22.8 million at June 30, 2011. The $2.3 million increase in the CMO segment of our MBS portfolio was primarily due to $10.2 million in purchases of floating-rate Agency CMOs, which were partially offset by repayments on our Agency CMO portfolio totaling $6.2 million, and $1.7 million in repayments on our private-label CMO portfolio. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company received principal payments totaling $1.7 million on its private-label CMOs. At September 30, 2011, approximately $72.9 million or 100.0% (book value) of the Companys MBS portfolio, including CMOs, were comprised of adjustable or floating rate investments, as compared to $70.6 million or 100.0% at June 30, 2011. Substantially all of the Companys 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 Companys MBS are expected to be substantially less than the scheduled maturities.

The Company retains an independent third party to assist it in the determination of a fair value for each of its private-label CMOs. 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 CMOs and there can be no assurance that any secondary market for private-label CMOs will develop. The private-label CMO portfolio had three private-label CMOs with OTTI at September 30, 2011. During the three months ending September 30, 2011, the Company reversed $106 thousand of non-credit unrealized holding losses on two of its private-label CMOs with OTTI due to principal repayments, and identified one additional private-label CMO, classified as held to maturity, with OTTI. In connection with the newly identified private-label CMO with OTTI, the Company recognized a $197 thousand impairment of which $173 thousand was recognized in other comprehensive income and $24 thousand was recognized in earnings.
The Company believes that the data and assumptions used to determine the fair values are reasonable. The fair value calculations reflect relevant facts and market conditions. Events and conditions occurring after the valuation date could have a material effect on the private-label CMO segments fair value.

Impairment is 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 securitys 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).
15
Table of Contents
The Company evaluates outstanding available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities in an unrealized loss position (i.e., impaired securities) for OTTI on 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.
The following table presents a roll-forward of the credit loss component of the amortized cost of mortgage-backed securities that we have written down for OTTI and the credit component of the loss that is recognized in earnings. The beginning balance represents the credit loss component for mortgage-backed securities for which OTTI occurred prior to adoption of the guidance of ASC Topic 320-10-69. OTTI recognized in earnings for credit impaired mortgage-back securities is presented as additions in two components based upon whether the current period is the first time the mortgage-backed security was credit-impaired (initial credit impairment) or is not the first time the mortgage-backed security was credit impaired (subsequent credit impairments). The credit loss component is reduced if the Company sells, intends to sell or believes that the Company will be required to sell previously credit-impaired mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, the credit loss component is reduced if the Company receives cash flows in excess of what the Company expected to receive over the remaining life of the credit impaired mortgage-backed securities, the security matures or is fully written down. Changes in the credit loss component of credit impaired mortgage-backed securities were as follows for the three month period ended September 30, 2011:

During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company identified an additional private-label CMO, classified as held to maturity, with OTTI totaling $197 thousand, of which $173 thousand was recognized in other comprehensive income and $24 thousand was recognized in earnings.
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 assess whether the credit enhancement associated with each security is sufficient to protect against likely losses of principal and
16
Table of Contents
interest on the underlying mortgage loans. The development of the modeling assumptions requires significant judgment.
In conjunction with the adoption of ASC Topic 820 effective June 30, 2009, the Company retained an independent third party to assist it with the 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 included 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 partys assumptions used in the September 30, 2011 OTTI process. Based on the results of this review, the Company deemed the independent third partys assumptions to be reasonable and adopted them. However, different assumptions could produce materially different results, which could impact the Companys conclusions as to whether an impairment is considered other-than-temporary and the magnitude of the credit loss. Management believes that three private-label CMOs in the portfolio had an OTTI at September 30, 2011. During the three months ending September 30, 2011, the Company reversed $106 thousand of non-credit unrealized holding losses on two private-label CMOs with OTTI due to principal repayments.
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. The Company does not anticipate selling its private-label CMO portfolio, nor does management believe that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of this amortized cost basis.
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 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. All of the Companys private-label CMOs were originally, and continue to be classified, as held to maturity.
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.
The Company has investments in 29 positions that are impaired at September 30, 2011, including 7 positions in private-label collateralized mortgage obligations. Based on its analysis, management has concluded that three private-label CMOs remain other-than-temporarily impaired, while the remaining securities portfolio has experienced unrealized losses and a decrease in fair value due to interest rate volatility, illiquidity in the marketplace, or credit deterioration in the U.S. mortgage markets.

Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The following loan categories are collectively evaluated for impairment. First mortgage loans: 1 4 family dwellings and all consumer loan categories (home equity, home equity lines of credit and other). The following loan categories are individually evaluated for impairment. First mortgage loans: construction, land acquisition and development, multi-family dwellings and commercial. The Company evaluates commercial loans not secured by real property individually for impairment.
The definition of impaired loans is not the same as the definition of nonaccrual loans, although the two categories overlap. The Company may choose to place a loan on nonaccrual status due to payment delinquency or uncertain collectability, while not classifying the loan as impaired if the loan is not a commercial or commercial real estate loan. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status and collateral value. The amount of impairment for these types of impaired loans is determined by the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows related to the loan, using the original interest rate, and its recorded value, or as a practical expedient in the case of collateralized loans, the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the recorded amount of the loans. When foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral.
Loans that experience insignificant payment delays, which are defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration all circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the borrowers prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.
The following table is a summary of the loans considered to be impaired as of September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 (in thousands):

The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb estimated potential loan losses. Managements determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio considering past experience, current economic conditions, composition of the loan portfolio and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change.
Effective December 13, 2006, the FDIC, in conjunction with the other federal banking agencies adopted a Revised Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL). The revised policy statement revised and replaced the banking agencies 1993 policy statement on the ALLL. The revised policy statement provides that an institution must maintain an ALLL at a level that is appropriate to cover estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans determined to be impaired, as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan and lease portfolio. The banking agencies also revised the policy to ensure consistency with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The revised policy statement updates the previous guidance that describes the responsibilities of the board of directors, management, and bank examiners regarding the ALLL, factors to be considered in the estimation of the ALLL, and the objectives and elements of an effective loan review system.
Federal regulations require that each insured savings institution classify its assets on a regular basis. In addition, in connection with examinations of insured institutions, federal examiners have authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, classify them. There are three classifications for problem assets: substandard, doubtful and loss. Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and
19
Table of Contents
values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. An asset classified as loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. Another category designated asset watch is also utilized by the Bank for assets which do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification as substandard, doubtful or loss. Assets classified as substandard or doubtful require the institution to establish general allowances for loan losses. If an asset or portion thereof is classified as loss, the insured institution must either establish specific allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss, or charge-off such amount. General loss allowances established to cover possible losses related to assets classified substandard or doubtful may be included in determining an institutions regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan losses do not qualify as regulatory capital.
The Companys general policy is to internally classify its assets on a regular basis and establish prudent general valuation allowances that are adequate to absorb losses that have not been identified but that are inherent in the loan portfolio. The Company maintains general valuation allowances that it believes are adequate to absorb losses in its loan portfolio that are not clearly attributable to specific loans. The Companys general valuation allowances are within the following general ranges: (1) 0% to 5% of assets subject to special mention; (2) 5.00% to 100% of assets classified substandard; and (3) 50% to 100% of assets classified doubtful. Any loan classified as loss is charged-off. To further monitor and assess the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, loan delinquencies are reviewed to consider any developing problem loans. Based upon the procedures in place, considering the Companys past charge-offs and recoveries and assessing the current risk elements in the portfolio, management believes the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2011, is adequate.

Credit quality information
The following tables represent credit exposure by internally assigned grades for the period ended September 30, 2011. The grading system analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements as scheduled or not at all. The Companys internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.
The Companys internally assigned grades are as follows:
Pass loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral.
Special mention loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected.
Substandard loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and can be characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard loan. In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.
Loss loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as a loan is not warranted.
The primary credit quality indicator used by Management in the 1 4 family and consumer loan portfolios is the performance status of the loans. Payment activity is reviewed by Management on a monthly basis to determine how loans are performing. Loans are considered to be non-performing when they become 90 days delinquent, have a history of delinquency, or have other inherent characteristics which Management deems to be weaknesses.

The Company determines its allowance for loan losses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company uses a systematic methodology as required by Financial Reporting Release No. 28 and the various Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council guidelines. The Company also endeavors to adhere to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 102 in connection with loan loss allowance methodology and documentation issues.
Our methodology used to determine the allocated portion of the allowance is as follows. For groups of homogenous loans, we apply a loss rate to the groups aggregate balance. Our group loss rate reflects our historical loss experience. We may adjust these group rates to compensate for changes in environmental factors; but our adjustments have not been frequent due to a relatively stable charge-off experience. The Company also monitors industry loss experience on similar loan portfolio segments. We then identify loans for individual evaluation under ASC Topic 310. If the individually identified loans are performing, we apply a segment specific loss rate adjusted for relevant environmental factors, if necessary, for those loans reviewed individually and considered individually impaired, we use one of the three methods for measuring impairment mandated by ASC Topic 310. Generally the fair value of collateral is used since our impaired loans are generally real estate based. In connection with the fair value of collateral measurement, the Company generally uses an independent appraisal and determines costs to sell. The Companys appraisals for commercial income based loans, such as multi-family and commercial real estate loans, assess value based upon the operating cash flows of the business as opposed to merely as built values. The Company then validates the reasonableness of our calculated allowances by: (1) reviewing trends in loan volume, delinquencies, restructurings and concentrations; (2) reviewing prior period (historical) charge-offs and recoveries; and (3) presenting the results of this process, quarterly, to the Asset Classification Committee and the Savings Banks Board of Directors. We then tabulate, format and summarize the current loan loss allowance balance for financial and regulatory reporting purposes.
The Company had no unallocated loss allowance balance at September 30, 2011.
The allowance for loan losses represents the amount which management estimates is adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in its loan portfolio. The allowance method is used in providing for loan
22
Table of Contents
losses. Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the allowance, and all recoveries are credited to it. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. The provision for loan losses is based on managements periodic evaluation of individual loans, economic factors, past loan loss experience, changes in the composition and volume of the portfolio, and other relevant factors. The estimates used in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected on impaired loans, are particularly susceptible to changes in the near term.
The following table summarizes the primary segments of the ALLL, segregated into the amount required for loans individually evaluated for impairment and the amount required for loans collectively evaluated for impairment as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011. Activity in the allowance is presented for the three months ended September 30, 2011 (in thousands).

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company reduced its ALLL by $159 thousand. A $140 thousand charge-off was recorded on one single-family construction loan which was taken into real estate owned (REO). The charge-off amount was calculated using an independent internal and external appraisal of the property, adjusted for costs to complete and costs to sell the property.
During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company also reduced the ALLL on the remaining loan portfolio by $19 thousand. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $26 thousand decrease in the ALLL related to consumer loans due to the payoff in full of two non-accrual home equity lines of credit, a $23 thousand decrease in the ALLL related to land acquisition and development loans due to reduced balances associated with payoffs in this segment of the loan portfolio, and a $8 thousand decrease in the ALLL related to single-family residential mortgage loans due to the paydown on one previously classified non-accrual loan, which were partially offset by a $32 thousand increase in the ALLL related to construction loans due to the larger than anticipated charge-off on the single-family construction taken into REO and a $6 thousand increase in the ALLL related to commercial loans.

Table of Contents
At September 30, 2011, the Company had one collateral dependent non-accrual construction loan totaling $701 thousand that was considered to be impaired.
The impaired construction loan is almost entirely complete and currently being marketed for sale. The loan was originated as a construction loan to build a spec home with a well known and respected builder within our market. At September 30, 2011, the loan was nine months past due for interest. The borrower communicates regularly with management of the Company. Management has interviewed several real estate agencies as part of this process and they all have indicated that sales of similar properties in this market support the asking price and that the property is in an affluent market that tends to take somewhat longer to sell. The loans appraised value is $950 thousand, the current listing price is $899 thousand, and our book value is $701 thousand. The loan is considered impaired primarily due to its delinquency status. Management weighed several factors in considering whether a discount to the appraised valuation was appropriate. In its analysis, management considered several qualitative factors including the length of time that the property has been on the market, the recent change in real estate agents and the associated $26 thousand reduction in the listing price, and the limited number of buyers for homes in this price range. Based upon the significant difference between the loans $701 thousand book value and the homes current listing price of $899 thousand, management has concluded that no specific allocation of the ALLL is needed as of September 30, 2011. The Company will continue to monitor marketing efforts with the builder and his real estate agent.
The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and actual losses will vary from current estimates. Management believes that the granularity of the homogenous pools and the related historical loss ratios and other qualitative factors, as well as the consistency in the application of assumptions, result in an ALLL that is representative of the risk found in the components of the portfolio at any given time.
10. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:
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 managements 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 a recurring basis on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, 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.

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period.
The following tables present the assets reported on a non-recurring basis on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value as of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, 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.

Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310. The fair value of
25
Table of Contents
impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. Collateral values are estimated using Level II inputs based on observable market data or Level III inputs based on customized discounting criteria. For a majority of impaired real estate related loans, the Company obtains a current external appraisal. Other valuation techniques are used as well, including internal valuations, comparable property analysis and contractual sales information.
Real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure is carried at fair value less estimated costs to sell. Any reduction from the carrying value of the related loan to fair value at the time of acquisition is accounted for as a loan loss. Any subsequent reduction in fair market value is reflected as a valuation allowance through a charge to income. Costs of significant property improvements are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding and maintaining the property, are charged to expense.
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 Company classifies financial instruments in Level III of the fair-value hierarchy when there is reliance on at least one significant unobservable input to the valuation model. In addition to these unobservable inputs, the valuation model for Level III financial instruments typically also rely on a number of inputs that are readily observable, either directly or indirectly. The following table represents the changes in the Level III fair-value category for the three month period ended September 30, 2011.

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 managements 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 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 the Company, are not considered financial instruments, but have value, this estimated fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full market value of the Company.
Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company 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:
27
Table of Contents
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Certificates of Deposit, Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable, and FHLB Short-term Advances
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. For discussion of valuation of private-label CMOs, see Note 8 Unrealized Losses on 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 Long-term 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.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
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. |

GENERAL
WVS Financial Corp. (WVS, the Company, us or we) 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, 2011.
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 Companys 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 Companys assets totaled $222.2 million at September 30, 2011, as compared to $228.9 million at June 30, 2011. The $6.7 million or 2.9% decrease in total assets was primarily comprised of a $32.2 million or 36.4% decrease in investment securities held to maturity, and a $1.9 million or 3.9% decrease in net loans receivable, which were partially offset by a $21.3 million increase in investment securities available for-sale, a $4.5 million or 228.5% increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $2.3 million or 3.2% increase in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) held to maturity. The decrease in investment securities held to maturity was primarily due to $30.8 million of issuer redemptions prior to maturity (i.e. calls) of U.S. Government agency bonds, $3.0 million of maturities/calls of investment grade corporate bonds, $1.5 million of maturities/calls of investment grade foreign bonds and $355 thousand of pay downs on investment grade utility first mortgage bonds, which were partially offset by $2.5 million in purchases of U.S. Government agency step-up bonds, and $1.1 million of purchases of investment grade utility first mortgage bonds. The increase in investment securities available for sale was due to purchases of: fixed-rate investment grade corporate bonds totaling $18.0 million, floating-rate investment grade corporate bonds totaling $3.0 million, and fixed rate investment grade utility first mortgage bonds totaling $1.1 million. The increase in MBS held-to-maturity was a result of $10.2 million in purchases of floating rate U.S. Government agency collateralized mortgage obligations, which was partially offset by repayments on the Companys floating rate U.S. Government agency CMO portfolio totaling $6.2 million and $1.7 million in repayment on the Companys floating rate private-label CMO portfolio. The Company has reduced its overall investment portfolio due to a marked decline in market interest rates and a narrowing of investment spreads. See Asset and Liability Management.
The Companys total liabilities decreased $6.9 million or 3.4% to $193.1 million as of September 30, 2011 from $200.0 million as of June 30, 2011. The $6.9 million decrease in total liabilities was primarily comprised of a $5.0 million or 22.2% decrease in maturing legacy high-cost long-term FHLB advances, and a $4.2 million or 13.0% decrease in FHLB short-term advances, which were partially offset by a $3.0 million or 2.0% increase in total savings deposits. The decrease in fixed rate legacy longterm FHLB advances and FHLB short-term advances were funded primarily by investment cash flows received during the three months ended September 30, 2011. Demand deposits increased $9.9 million while certificates of deposit, NOW accounts and advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance decreased $4.9 million, $1.6 million and $428 thousand, respectively. The increase in demand deposits was primarily due to increased balances held by local tax collectors, while the decrease in certificates of deposit was due primarily to the maturity of a $4.0 million cash

management CD related to a local government unit. Management believes that the changes in NOW accounts, and advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance were primarily attributable to seasonal payments of local, county and school real estate taxes. See also Asset and Liability Management.
Total stockholders equity increased $205 thousand or 0.7% to $29.1 million as of September 30, 2011, from approximately $28.9 million as of June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to Company net income of $410 thousand, which was partially offset by an other comprehensive loss of $129 thousand and cash dividends totaling $82 thousand. The other comprehensive loss was primarily attributable to a $114 thousand OTTI other impairment on one private-label CMO with newly identified OTTI and a $85 thousand unrealized loss on available for sale securities, which were partially offset by a $70 thousand reversal of unrealized holding losses on two private-label CMOs with previously identified OTTI.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General. WVS reported net income of $410 thousand or $0.20 earnings per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Net income increased by $351 thousand or 594.9% and earnings per share (basic and diluted) increased $0.17 or 566.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to a $582 thousand increase in net interest income, and a $28 thousand decrease in provisions for loan losses, which were partially offset by a $163 thousand increase in income tax expense, a $72 thousand increase in non-interest expense, and a $24 thousand decrease in non-interest income.
Net Interest Income. The Companys net interest income increased by $582 thousand or 66.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in net interest income was attributable to a $1.3 million decrease in interest expense, which more than offset a $754 thousand decrease in interest income. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to lower average balances of fixed-rate legacy long-term FHLB advances and whole-sale time deposits during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to lower average balances of interest earning financial assets, which were partially offset by higher realized yields on the Companys corporate bond portfolio, when compared to the same period in 2010.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased $754 thousand or 28.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.
Interest on investment securities decreased $509 thousand or 39.9% and for the three months ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to a $66.5 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities, which was partially offset by a 31 basis point increase in the weighted average yield on investment securities outstanding, when compared to the same period in 2010.
Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $195 thousand or 45.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to a $19.3 million decrease in the average balance of U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities outstanding, a $20.9 million decrease in the average balance of private label mortgage-backed securities outstanding, a 28 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield earned on U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities, and a 16 basis point increase in the weighted average yield earned on private label mortgage-backed securities for the three months ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in the average balances of mortgage-backed securities during the three months ended September 30, 2011 was attributable to principal paydowns of mortgage-backed securities during the period. The decrease in yield is attributable to slightly lower LIBOR interest rates in the three months ended September 30, 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010.
Interest on FDIC insured bank certificates of deposit decreased $27 thousand or 71.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to a $3.4 million decrease in the average portfolio

balance of certificates of deposit and a 64 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield earned when compared to the same period in 2010. The certificates have remaining maturities ranging from two to thirty-six months. Due to decreases in yields in this investment sector, the Company has decided to limit reinvestments in certificates of deposit and to let the portfolio decrease through maturities and early issuer redemptions.
Interest on net loans receivable decreased $22 thousand or 2.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to a $7.4 million decrease in the average balance of net loans receivable outstanding, which was partially offset by an increase of 75 basis points in the weighted average yield earned on net loans receivable for the three months ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in the average loan balance of net loans receivable outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was attributable in part to increased levels of loan payoffs on single-family first mortgage loan and construction loan products. The Company has limited its origination of longer-term fixed rate loans for its portfolio 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. The increase in the yield earned on net loans receivable was primarily due to $102 thousand of interest collected on three paid off non-accrual loans.
Dividends on FHLB stock were $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010. This was attributable to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburghs 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 FHLBs stated purpose of these actions is to build retained earnings to ensure adequate regulatory capital. Beginning in the December 2010 quarter, the FHLB began redeeming excess capital stock from members. Redemptions of $466 thousand were recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $1.3 million or 76.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.
Interest paid on FHLB advances decreased $1.2 million or 82.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to an $87.0 million decrease in the average balance of fixed rate legacy FHLB long-term advances, and a 55 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield paid on fixed rate legacy FHLB long-term advances, which were partially offset by a $23.4 million increase in the average balance of FHLB short-term advances and a 19 basis point increase in the weighted average yield paid on FHLB short-term advances when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in the average balances of fixed rate legacy FHLB long-term borrowings were due to the maturity of twelve fixed rate legacy FHLB long-term borrowings totaling $67.0 million during the twelve months ended September 30, 2011.
Interest expense on deposits and escrows decreased $134 thousand or 46.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in interest expense on deposits for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to a $59.8 million decrease in the average balance of time deposits, which was partially offset by a 10 basis point increase in the weighted average rate paid on time deposits, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in the average balance of time deposits in the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to the maturity of wholesale deposits including $51.5 million of CDARS One Way Buy transactions and $3.7 million of brokered deposits during the previous twelve months. The increase in average yields of time deposits reflects the maturity of lower yielding wholesale deposits.
Interest paid on other short-term borrowings decreased $6 thousand or 100.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to the absence of other short-term borrowings during the period. The decrease in average balances of other short-term borrowings is attributable to more favorable short-term borrowing rates offered by the Federal Home Loan Bank as compared to broker repurchase agreements.

Provision for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance at a level considered adequate by management to absorb potential losses in the portfolio. Managements 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.
Provisions for loan losses decreased $28 thousand or 311.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The change in the provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to lower levels of non-performing loans. At September 30, 2011, the Companys total allowance for loan losses amounted to $471 thousand or 1.0% of the Companys total loan portfolio, as compared to $630 thousand or 1.2% at June 30, 2011.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased by $24 thousand or 19.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to a $24 thousand other-than-temporary impairment loss on one private-label CMO recognized in earnings during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, when compared to the same period in 2010.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $72 thousand or 8.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was principally attributable to a $107 thousand increase in charitable contributions eligible for PA Educational Improvement Tax credits, which was partially offset by a $36 thousand decrease in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) expense.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $163 thousand or 543.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily due to higher levels of taxable income, when compared to the same period in 2010.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash used for operating activities totaled $56 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2011. Net cash used for operating activities was primarily comprised of a $733 thousand decrease in transaction account clearing balance payable to the Federal Reserve, a $22 thousand decrease in accrued interest payable, and a $19 thousand credit provision for loan losses, which was partially offset by $410 thousand of Company net income, a $54 thousand decrease in prepaid federal deposit insurance premiums, $54 thousand in amortizations of investment premiums, a $49 thousand increase in prepaid/accrued income taxes, a $35 thousand decrease in deferred income taxes, a $24 thousand net impairment loss recognized in earnings, and $21 thousand in depreciation on the Companys fixed assets.
Funds provided by investing activities totaled $10.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011. Primary sources of funds during the three months ended September 30, 2011, included maturities and repayments of investment securities, and mortgage-backed securities totaling $35.8 million, and $7.9 million, respectively, a $1.8 million decrease in net loans receivable, and redemptions of FHLB stock totaling $466 thousand, which were partially offset by purchases of investment securities, mortgage-backed securities totaling $25.1 million, and $10.2 million, respectively.
Funds used for financing activities totaled $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The primary uses included a $5.0 million decrease in fixed rate legacy FHLB long-term advances, a $4.7 million decrease in retail certificates of deposit, and a $4.2 million decrease in FHLB short-term borrowings, which were partially offset by an $8.3 million increase in transaction and savings deposits. The decrease in FHLB long-term advances reflects paydowns on matured high cost FHLB legacy advances using cash flow from the Companys investment portfolio. The Company repaid $4.7 million of retail time deposits and $4.2 million of FHLB short-term borrowings using cash flow from repayments on mortgage-backed securities. The $4.7 million decrease in retail
33
Table of Contents
time deposits was primarily attributable to a matured $4 million cash management CD for a local government unit and seasonal withdrawals for the payment of local, county and school taxes by depositors. Management believes that a significant portion of our local maturing deposits will remain with the Company. The $8.3 million increase in transaction and savings deposits were primarily attributable to increases in transaction balances held by local tax collectors.
The Companys 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 advances and other borrowings. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 2011 totaled $32.2 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, approximately $248 thousand of other brokers CDs matured and were repaid. At September 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding no certificates of deposits (CDs) issued through the CDARS One-Way Buy Program, or any brokered CDs.
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. At September 30, 2011, total approved loan commitments outstanding were $0. At the same date, commitments under unused lines of credit amounted to $4.9 million and the unadvanced portion of construction loans approximated $3.5 million. 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 25, 2011, the Companys Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.04 per share payable November 23, 2011, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 7, 2011. Dividends are subject to determination and declaration by the Board of Directors, which take into account the Companys 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, 2011, WVS Financial Corp. exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and maintained Tier I and total risk-based capital equal to $31.0 million or 19.9% and $31.5 million or 20.3%, respectively, of total risk-weighted assets, and Tier I leverage capital of $31.0 million or 13.93% 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 Companys nonperforming assets at September 30, 2011 totaled approximately $1.5 million or 0.7% of total assets as compared to $2.4 million or 1.0% of total assets at June 30, 2011. Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2011 consisted of: two single-family real estate loans totaling $364 thousand, one single-family construction loan totaling $701 thousand, and two single-family real estate owned properties totaling $417 thousand. The loans are in various stages of collection activity the real estate owned properties are being marketed.
The $919 thousand decrease in nonperforming assets during the three months ended September 30, 2011 was attributable to the classification to performing status of one single-family real estate loan totaling $420 thousand, the payoff of two home equity lines of credit totaling $359 thousand, and the $140 thousand partial charge-off of one partially completed single-family construction loan which was taken into real estate owned.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company collected $101 thousand of interest income on non-accrual loans that were paid off or brought current and approximately $23 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 Companys interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011. 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 Companys primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. All of the Companys 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 organizations 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 Companys earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains IRR at prudent levels is essential to the Companys safety and soundness.
Evaluating a financial institutions exposure to changes in interest rates includes assessing both the adequacy of the management process used to control IRR and the organizations 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.
Since December 2007 and into fiscal 2012, the global economy remained in the worst recession since the end of World War II. Many factors contributed to the recession, including: the failure, or near failure, of major financial institutions, marked declines in housing sales and prices, significant defaults in mortgage payments (particularly in the subprime sector), disruptions in global financial market liquidity, declining stock markets and increased volatility in the bond, commodity and equity markets.
As the various markets began to unravel, historical relationships between bonds, commodities and equities continued to diverge. This divergence created additional market volatility as market participants attempted to rebalance their portfolios. The worlds central banks continued to intervene in order to stabilize markets, at varying times and with varying degrees of success. The degree of co-ordination and timing between central banks varied due to differing perceptions of the problem and disparate impacts within a particular countrys economy. For example, the U.S. economy began to recover at a very slow and uneven rate. Domestic unemployment remained high which continued to impact the housing markets. Several governments within the Eurozone have experienced difficulty in managing their fiscal budgets.
On September 21, 2011, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced a maturity extension program and reinvestment policy. Under the maturity extension program, the Federal Reserve intends to sell $400 billion of shorter-term Treasury securities by the end of June 2012 and use the proceeds to buy longer-term Treasury securities. This will extend the average maturity of the securities in the Federal Reserves portfolio. By reducing the supply of longer-term Treasury securities in the market, the

Table of Contents
FOMC believes that this action should put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates and provide additional stimulus to support the economic recovery.
Federal Reserve sales of short-term securities could put some upward pressure on their yields, but the FOMC believes that the effect is likely to be small. The FOMC has stated that it anticipates that economic conditions will warrant the current level of the federal funds rate at least until mid 2013. This explanation should help anchor short-term rates near current levels.
In addition, the FOMC will reinvest principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities in agency mortgage-backed securities. The FOMC will also maintain its existing policy of rolling over maturing Treasury securities at auction.
Throughout the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company continued to adjust its asset/liability management tactics in two ways. First, we substantially increased our Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio from 13.12% at June 30, 2011 to 13.93% at September 30, 2011. We accomplished this by reducing both Company assets and borrowings and by retaining earnings above the level of dividends paid. With market interest rates at historical lows, we believed that the risks of maintaining a leveraged balance sheet far exceed the additional potential income that could be earned. Second, we reduced overall borrowings by $9.2 million. Legacy FHLB long-term borrowings were reduced by $5.0 million, while FHLB short-term borrowings decreased $4.2 million.
Looking ahead, we continue to believe that our net interest income will improve in fiscal year 2012 primarily through the reduction of interest expense on long-term fixed rate legacy FHLB advances. Our legacy long-term fixed rate FHLB advances, taken out a number of years ago when interest rates were higher, began maturing in fiscal 2011.
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 institutions 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 institutions interest expense on its liabilities may not be sufficiently offset if assets continue to earn interest at the long-term fixed rates. Accordingly, an institutions 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 three months ended September 30, 2011, intermediate and long-term market interest rates fluctuated considerably. Many central banks, including the Federal Reserve began a second phase of quantitative easing to stimulate aggregate demand, reduce high levels of unemployment and to further lower market interest rates. In response to these market conditions, the Company reduced the overall level of both assets and liabilities. Asset levels were reduced in light of considerably lower market yields and narrowing credit spreads. Borrowings were reduced by utilizing investment cash flow and to lower related interest expense. These actions also allowed us to increase our Tier 1 leverage and risk-based capital ratios.

These changes in intermediate and long-term market interest rates, the changing slope of the Treasury yield curve, and higher levels of interest rate volatility have impacted prepayments on the Companys loan, investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios. Principal repayments on the Companys loan, investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios for the three months ended September 30, 2011, totaled $4.7 million, $35.8 million and $7.9 million, respectively. Due to stagnant global interest rates and Treasury yields we continued to reduce our overall borrowed funds position. The Company continued to rebalance its investment portfolio by using proceeds from calls of U.S. Government agency bonds, repayments on its mortgage-backed securities and maturities of bank certificates of deposit to pay down borrowings. This strategy has allowed the Company to improve its liquidity posture while managing overall interest rate risk and strengthening our regulatory capital ratios.
Due to the term structure of market interest rates, historically low long-term mortgage interest rates, 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 Banks market area. We expect that the housing market will continue to be weak throughout fiscal 2012. The Company will continue to selectively offer commercial real estate, land acquisition and development, and shorter-term construction loans (primarily on residential properties), and commercial loans on business assets to partially increase interest income while limiting credit and interest rate risk. The Company has also offered higher yielding commercial and small business loans to existing customers and seasoned prospective customers.
During the three months ended September 30, 2011, principal investment purchases were comprised of: fixed rate investment grade corporate bonds - $18.0 million with a weighted average yield of 1.34%; floating rate U.S. Government agency CMOs - $10.2 million with a weighted average rate of 1.24%; floating rate investment grade corporate bonds - $3.0 million with a weighted average yield of 1.20%; callable U.S. Government agency

multiple step-up bonds with initial lock out periods of 3 months - $2.5 million with a weighted average yield to call of 1.05%; fixed rate investment grade corporate utility first mortgage bonds - $1.1 million with a weighted average yield of 1.10%; and fixed rate investment grade foreign bonds - $595 thousand with a weighted average yield of 1.22%. The Company also invested in FDIC bank insured certificates of deposit totaling $449 thousand with a weighted average yield of 0.89%. Single step-up bonds have one step or increase in coupon. Multiple step-up bonds have more than one step or increase in coupon. Substantially all of these corporate bond purchases were classified as available for sale for accounting purposes. The Company believes that this classification bolsters asset based liquidity while earning a return above the Companys cost of funds.
Major investment proceeds received during the three months ended September 30, 2011 were: callable U.S. Government agency bonds - $30.8 million with a weighted average yield of approximately 2.12%; investment grade corporate bonds - $3.0 million with a weighted average yield of approximately 4.14%; investment grade foreign bonds - $1.5 million with a weighted average yield of 2.24%; and investment grade corporate utility first mortgage bonds - $355 thousand with a weighted average yield of 5.90%. The Company also had $785 thousand in FDIC insured bank certificates of deposit redeemed with a weighted average yield of approximately 1.27%.
As of September 30, 2011, the implementation of these asset and liability management initiatives resulted in the following:
1) | $22.4 million or 10.1% of the Companys assets were comprised of investment securities classified as available for sale. |
2) | $72.9 million or 48.1% of the Companys investment portfolio was comprised of floating rate mortgage-backed securities (including collateralized mortgage obligations CMOs) that reprice on a monthly basis; |
3) | $53.8 million or 35.5% of the Companys investment portfolio consisted of investment grade fixed-rate corporate bonds with remaining maturities as follows: 3 months or less - $503 thousand or 1.0%; 3 12 months - $12.8 million or 23.8%; 1 2 years - $26.3 million or 48.8%; 2 3 years - $8.3 million or 15.5%; 3 5 years - $1.5 million or 2.8%; and over 5 years - $4.4 million or 8.1%; |
4) | $11.4 million or 7.5% of the Companys investment portfolio was comprised of callable U.S. Government Agency single step-up or multiple step-up bonds which are callable within 1 3 months. 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; |
5) | $3.3 million or 1.5% of the Companys total assets consisted of FDIC insured bank certificates of deposit with remaining maturities ranging from two to thirty-six months; |
6) | $6.9 million or 4.6% of the Companys investment portfolio consisted of investment grade floating-rate corporate bonds which will reprice within three months and will mature within four to twenty-eight months; |
7) | An aggregate of $26.5 million or 57.6% of the Companys net loan portfolio had adjustable interest rates or maturities of less than 12 months; and |
8) | The maturity distribution of the Companys borrowings is as follows: 3 months or less - $27.9 million or 61.5%; 1 3 years - $5.0 million or 11.0%; 3 5 years - $2.5 million or 5.5%; and over 5 years - $10.0 million or 22.0%. |
The effect of interest rate changes on a financial institutions assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the interest rate sensitivity of the assets and liabilities and by monitoring an institutions 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.

In addition, the Company purchased $20.4 million (par value) of corporate bonds which have been classified as available for sale for accounting purposes. These purchases further bolstered balance sheet liquidity. At September 30, 2011, investments available for sale totaled $22.4 million or 10.1% of Company assets.

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 Companys loan, mortgage-backed securities and investment portfolios; savings decay rate assumptions; and the repayment terms and embedded options of the Companys 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, 2011. This analysis was done assuming that the interest-earning assets will average approximately $244 million and $311 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, 2011. 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 Companys first quarter earnings were positively impacted by lower interest expenses associated with lower average balances of fixed rate legacy long-term FHLB advances. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we repaid $5 million of long-term FHLB advances, with a rate of 5.03%.
Market interest rates continued to remain low by historical standards throughout the three months ended September 30, 2011. In response to this environment, we continued to reduce our balance sheet by repaying fixed rate legacy long-term FHLB advances and wholesale deposits. These actions allowed us to further strengthen our Tier 1 leverage capital ratio from 13.12% at June 30, 2011 to 13.93% at September 30, 2011. As market conditions improve, we anticipate growing our asset base.

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, 2011, the Savings Bank had three performance standby letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $241 thousand. Two performance letters of credit are secured by developed property while one letter of credit is secured by loans in process and personal guarantees. The letters of credit will mature within nine 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.
