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 and nine months ended March 31, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
2. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2010-05, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Escrowed Share Arrangements and the Presumption of Compensation. ASU 2010-05 updates existing guidance to address the SEC staffs views on overcoming the presumption that for certain shareholders escrowed share arrangements represent compensation. ASU 2010-05 is effective January 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 amends Subtopic 820-10 to clarify existing disclosures, require new disclosures, and includes conforming amendments to guidance on employers disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-08, Technical Corrections to Various Topics. ASU 2010-08 clarifies guidance on embedded derivatives and hedging. ASU 2010-08 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operation.
In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11, Derivatives and Hedging. ASU 2010-11 provides clarification and related additional examples to improve financial reporting by resolving potential ambiguity about the breadth of the embedded credit derivative scope exception in ASC 815-15-15-8. ASU 2010-11 is effective at the beginning of the first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. ASU 2010-13 provides guidance on the classification of a share-based payment award as either equity or a liability. A share-based payment that contains a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition is required to be classified as a liability. ASU 2010-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-18, Receivables (Topic 310): Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan is a Part of a Pool That is Accounted for as a Single Asset a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. ASU 2010-18 clarifies the treatment for a modified loan that was acquired as part of a pool of assets. Refinancing or restructuring the loan does not make it eligible for removal from the pool, the FASB said. The amendment will be effective for loans that are part of an asset pool and are modified during financial reporting periods that end July 15, 2010 or later and did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.

Table of Contents
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. ASU 2010-20 is intended to provide additional information to assist financial statement users in assessing an entitys credit risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in ASU 2010-20 encourage, but do not require, comparative disclosures for earlier reporting periods that ended before initial adoption. However, an entity should provide comparative disclosures for those reporting periods ending after initial adoption. The Company has presented the necessary disclosures in Note 9 herein.
In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-21, Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules. This ASU amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules, and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-22, Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs An announcement made by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This ASU amends various SEC paragraphs based on external comments received and the issuance of SAB 112, which amends or rescinds portions of certain SAB topics and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In September 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-25, Plan Accounting Defined Contribution Pension Plans. The amendments in this ASU require that participant loans be classified as notes receivable from participants, which are segregated from plan investments and measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2010 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-26, Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts. This ASU addresses the diversity in practice regarding the interpretation of which costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify for deferral. The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. This ASU modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. The amendments in this update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for

Table of Contents
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-01, Receivables (Topic 310): Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20. The amendments in this Update temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20, enabling public-entity creditors to provide those disclosures after the FASB clarifies the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The deferral in this Update will result in more consistent disclosures about troubled debt restructurings. This amendment does not defer the effective date of the other disclosure requirements in Update 2010-20. In the proposed Update for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, the FASB proposed that the clarifications would be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. For the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20, those clarifications would be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the fiscal year in which the proposal is adopted.
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. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

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 March 31, 2011, there were 124,824 options outstanding with an average exercise price of $16.20 which were anti-dilutive for the three and nine month periods. At March 31, 2010 there were 125,127 options outstanding with an average exercise price of $16.20 which were anti-dilutive for the three and nine month periods.
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 nine month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded $17 thousand and $17 thousand, respectively, in compensation expense related to our share-based compensation awards. As of March 31, 2011, there was approximately $55 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.
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:

The Company had 72,551 non-vested stock options outstanding at March 31, 2011, and 98,535 unvested stock options outstanding at March 31, 2010. There were no stock options issued during the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Investment securities with amortized costs of $390 thousand and $28.7 million and fair values of $388 thousand and $29.0 million at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements, and for other purposes as required by law.
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 March 31, 2011, the Companys Agency CMOs totaled $32.7 million as compared to $70.9 million at June 30, 2010. The Companys private-label CMOs totaled $24.6 million at March 31, 2011 as compared to $44.1 million at June 30, 2010. The $57.7 million decrease in the CMO segment of our MBS portfolio was primarily due to repayments on our Agency CMOs totaling $38.2 million and $20.1 million in repayments on our private-label CMOs which were partially offset by a $635 thousand reversal of non-credit unrealized holding losses on private-label CMOs with Other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, the Company received principal payments totaling $20.1 million on its private-label CMOs. At March 31, 2011, approximately $57.3 million or 96.4% (book value) of the Companys MBS portfolio, including CMOs, were comprised of adjustable or floating rate investments, as compared to $115.0 million or 98.2% at June 30, 2010. 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 two previously recorded Other Than Temporary Impairments at March 31, 2011. During the three and nine months ending March 31, 2011, the Company reversed $288 thousand and $635 thousand, respectively, of non-credit unrealized holding losses on two of its private-label CMOs with OTTI due to principal repayments. No additional other than temporary impairments were identified during the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
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.

In accordance with ASC Topic 820, revisions were made to the recognition and reporting requirements for Other-Than-Temporary-Impairments (OTTI) of debt securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity.
For debt securities, the ability and intent to hold provision was eliminated, and impairment is now considered to be other than temporary if an entity (1) intends to sell the security, (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis, or (3) does not expect to recover the 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).
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.
18
Table of Contents
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 and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded no credit impairment charge and no non-credit unrealized holding loss to accumulated other comprehensive income.
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 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 would include interest rates, expected market participant spreads and discount rates, housing prices, projected future delinquency levels and assumed loss rates on any liquidated collateral.
The Company reviewed the independent third partys assumptions used in the March 31, 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 two private-label CMOs in the portfolio had an OTTI at March 31, 2011. During the three and nine months ending March 31, 2011, the Company reversed $288 thousand and $635 thousand, respectively, of non-credit unrealized holding losses on the 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 23 positions that are impaired at March 31, 2011, including 10 positions in private-label collateralized mortgage obligations. Based on its analysis, management has concluded that two 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 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
22
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 March 31, 2011, is adequate.

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 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.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, the Company reversed $158 thousand of previously recorded provisions for loan losses related to one Land Acquisition & Development loan.
The reason for reversing the provision on this particular credit is that the borrower has made every required payment for about the last seven years. During the first five years, payments were regularly made under provisions of the U.S. bankruptcy code. After the borrower exited from bankruptcy the Company agreed to amortize his remaining balance over fifteen years. The new loan was made at prevailing market rates and terms. The loans appraised value was less than our carrying value when the new loan was made. However when we discounted the loans cash flows at the effective rate, no impairment was noted. We, and our banking regulators, continued to classify the loan as substandard. The Companys Asset Classification and Review Committee adopted a conservative accounting posture on this credit and directed management to maintain a specific loan loss allowance for a period of approximately two years after the borrowers completed their bankruptcy reorganization to allow the loans balance to amortize below appraised value. Due to the fact that we have been paid for seven years, including two years post bankruptcy, and the fact that this loan is successfully amortizing over a fifteen year amortization period, the Companys Asset Classification and Review Committee felt that the $158 thousand allowance for loan losses on this particular credit was no longer justified. The appraised (e.g. fair) value of the real estate collateral also exceeds the principal balance by approximately $14 thousand at March 31, 2011.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, the Company increased the ALLL for construction loans by $158 thousand. The increase was primarily attributable to a $91 thousand increase to the ALLL attributable to the qualitative considerations within the unimpaired construction loan portfolio, and a $67 thousand increase to the ALLL for one impaired construction loan. The increase in the ALLL for the Companys unimpaired construction loan portfolio, related to the qualitative considerations, is attributable to the following factors: (1) a $1.024 million increase in impaired construction loans and the possibility that similar factors could begin to affect the unimpaired construction loan portfolio; (2) the continued impact of a slow economic recovery, particularly as it relates to the housing market; (3) the slowdown in local real estate sales for both new and existing homes in the Companys lending areas; (4) longer than usual selling cycles experienced by the Companys builders; and (5) lower than normal levels of local housing starts due to longer selling cycles and higher than normal levels of completed but unsold new home inventories.

At March 31, 2010, the Company had two collateral dependent non-accrual construction loans totaling $1,024 that were considered to be impaired.
The first 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 March 31, 2011, the loan was nine months past due for interest. The borrower is working closely with management of the Company and recently agreed to change the listing real estate agency. 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 a little longer to sell. The loans appraised value is $950 thousand, the current listing price is $925 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 $25 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 $925 thousand, Management has concluded that no specific allocation of the ALLL is needed as of March 31, 2011. The Company will continue to monitor marketing efforts with the builder and his new real estate agent.
The second impaired construction loan is substantially completed. The loan was originated as a construction loan to build a spec home with a builder that has had a long relationship with the Company. The builder began to experience financial difficulties during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 which called into question his ability to complete the house. The Company offered to work with the builder by paying his subcontractors directly. If the builder and his subcontractors would have agreed to this arrangement, management believed the house could be completed and sold. This loan was less than thirty days delinquent as to interest at December 31, 2010. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the loan was three months delinquent as to interest and it became apparent to the Company that the builder was unable or unwilling to complete the project and no payments were received on this account, and the builder has become less cooperative. The Company began foreclosure proceedings against this builder during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The loans original As Completed appraised value was $420 thousand and our book value at March 31, 2011 is $323 thousand. The Company is trying to negotiate interior access to the property to better assess what work remains to be completed and to obtain a new appraised valuation. If negotiations for access are not successful, the Company will obtain access after the foreclosure process is completed. Based on the inspections performed by the Company related to construction draw requests, management believes the property to be in excess of 75% completed. Discussions with real estate sales professionals indicate that newly constructed homes in the area are generally selling in a range of $360 - $400+ thousand. We currently anticipate a July 2011 sheriffs sale date. Management weighed several factors in considering whether a discount to the appraised valuation was appropriate. In its assessment, Management placed considerable weight on the limited market for partially completed homes. In addition, Management consulted with a local real estate agent who confirmed a limited market segment for partially completed homes and the need for a higher than customary real estate commission to support the increased marketing efforts. In addition, buyers such as other builders or contractors typically require a market discount in order to compensate them to complete construction and provide an acceptable profit margin. Finally, Management had to use its best business judgment to assess finishing costs to determine whether it would be better for the Company to finish the house and market the property to the consumer market segment and to gauge the reasonableness of any purchase offer from a builder or contractor. Based upon these qualitative factors, Management believes that is possible to receive less than its recorded book value of $323 thousand. Accordingly, the Company recorded a specific allocation of the ALLL to this particular credit totaling $67 thousand. Management may adjust this specific ALLL allocation once the Company obtains internal access to the property for a new real estate appraisal and to better gauge buyer interest, including other builders and contractors.
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 March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, 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.

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 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 2 inputs based on observable market data or Level 3 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.
Fair values for securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.
The following table represents the changes in the Level III fair-value category for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011. 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.
Changes in fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level III) during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 are detailed in the following table.

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 WVS, are not considered financial instruments, but have value, this estimated fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full market value of WVS.
Estimated fair values have been determined by WVS using the best available data, as generally provided in internal Savings Bank regulatory, or third party valuation reports, using an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. The estimation methodologies used are as follows:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Certificates of Deposit, Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable, and Other Short-term Borrowings
The fair value approximates the current book value.
29
Table of Contents
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 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.

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 March 31, 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 $247.4 million at March 31, 2011, as compared to $354.7 million at June 30, 2010. The $107.3 million or 30.3% decrease in total assets was primarily comprised of a $57.6 million or 50.1% decrease in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) - held to maturity, a $43.1 million or 28.1% decrease in investment securities held to maturity, a $4.1 million or 7.4% decrease in net loans receivable, and a $2.4 million or 28.4% decrease in FDIC insured certificates of deposit. The decrease in mortgage-backed securities held to maturity was primarily due to paydowns on the Companys mortgage-backed securities portfolio. The decrease in investment securities- held to maturity was primarily due to $52.0 million of issuer redemptions prior to maturity (i.e., calls) of U.S. Government agency bonds, $35.4 million of maturities/calls of investment grade corporate bonds, $6.6 million of maturities/calls of investment grade foreign bonds, $5.5 million of maturities of investment grade short-term commercial paper, $1.6 million of maturities of investment grade corporate utility first mortgage bonds and $900 thousand of maturities/redemptions of tax free municipal bonds, which were partially offset by purchases of $47.7 million of callable U.S. Government agency step-up bonds, $5.5 million of investment grade short-term commercial paper, $3.7 million of investment grade foreign bonds, $3.0 million of investment grade corporate bonds, and $600 thousand of tax free municipal bonds. The decrease in FDIC insured certificates of deposit was due to $5.4 million in redemptions of bank certificates of deposit which was partially offset by $3.0 million in investments in bank certificates of deposit. 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 $107.8 million or 33.0% to $219.1 million as of March 31, 2011 from $326.9 million as of June 30, 2010. The $107.8 million decrease in total liabilities was primarily comprised of a $70.0 million or 63.9% decrease in maturing legacy high-cost long-term FHLB advances, a $24.4 million or 12.1% decrease in total savings deposits, and a $12.5 million or 100.0% decrease in other short-term borrowings. The decrease in fixed rate legacy longterm FHLB advances was funded primarily by investment cash flows received during the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Certificates of deposit decreased $25.3 million, demand and NOW deposits decreased $1.3 million, and advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance decreased $243 thousand, while savings accounts increased $1.5 million and money market accounts increased $1.0 million. The decrease in certificates of deposits is primarily the result of a $10.75 million early partial repayment of a CDARS One Way Buy CD, $5.6 million of maturing brokered deposits, and a $4 million matured

cash management CD related to a local government unit. Management believes that the changes in demand deposits, 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 $570 thousand or 2.1% to $28.4 million as of March 31, 2011, from approximately $27.8 million as of June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to Company net income of $626 thousand and other comprehensive income totaling $421 thousand, which were partially offset by cash dividends totaling $494 thousand. Other comprehensive income was principally attributable to reversals of unrealized holding losses on two private label mortgage backed securities totaling $419 thousand.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General. WVS reported net income of $353 thousand or $0.17 earnings per share (basic and diluted) and $626 thousand or $0.30 earnings per share (basic and diluted) for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. Net income increased by $279 thousand or 377.0% and earnings per share (basic and diluted) increased $0.13 or 325.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to a $465 thousand increase in net interest income, and a $77 thousand increase in non-interest income, which were partially offset by a $210 thousand increase in income tax expense, a $47 thousand increase in non-interest expense, and a $6 thousand increase in provisions for loan losses. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, net income increased $248 thousand or 65.6% and earnings per share (basic and diluted) increased $0.12 or 66.7% when compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to a $656 thousand increase in net interest income, and a $69 thousand increase in non-interest income, which were partially offset by a $293 thousand increase in income tax expense, a $157 thousand increase in non-interest expense, and a $27 thousand increase in provisions for loan losses.
Net Interest Income. The Companys net interest income increased by $465 thousand or 52.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in net interest income is attributable to a $1.3 million decrease in interest expense, which more than offset a $799 thousand decrease in interest income. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to the payoff of FHLB long-term, FRB and other short-term borrowings and lower rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to lower average balances of, and lower rates of interest earned on, financial assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, net interest income increased $656 thousand or 23.5% when compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in net interest income is attributable to a $2.8 million decrease in interest expense, which was partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in interest income. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the payoff of FHLB long-term, and FRB and other short-term borrowings, and lower rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities during the nine months ended March 31, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to lower rates earned on, and lower average balances of, financial assets during the nine months ended March 31, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010.
Interest Income. Interest on investment securities decreased $354 thousand or 24.7% and $806 thousand or 18.9% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a $29.0 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities and a 24 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield on investment securities outstanding, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a 66 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield on investment securities outstanding, and a $5.3 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities when compared to the same period in 2010.
Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $261 thousand or 51.5% and $623 thousand or 38.5% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2010. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a $58.8 million decrease in the average balance of U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities outstanding and a
33
Table of Contents
$22.5 million decrease in the average balance of private label mortgage-backed securities outstanding, which were partially offset by a 15 basis point increase in the weighted average yield earned on U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities and an 8 basis point increase in the weighted average yield earned on private label mortgage-backed securities for the three months ended March 31, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, was primarily attributable to a $48.9 million decrease in the average balance of U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities outstanding and a $16.8 million decrease in the average balance of private-label mortgage-backed securities outstanding, which were partially offset by a 10 basis point increase in the weighted average yield earned on U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities and a 10 basis point increase in the weighted average yield earned on private-label mortgage-backed securities outstanding for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in the average balances of mortgage-backed securities during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 was attributable to principal paydowns of mortgage-backed securities during the periods. The increase in yield is attributable to slightly higher LIBOR interest rates in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the same periods in 2010.
Interest on net loans receivable decreased $161 thousand or 16.6% and $470 thousand or 15.7% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2010. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a $5.8 million decrease in the average balance of net loans receivable outstanding and a decrease of 50 basis points in the weighted average yield earned on net loans receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, was primarily attributable to a decrease of 72 basis points in the weighted average yield earned on net loans receivable for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010, and a $3.3 million decrease in the average balance of net loans receivable outstanding, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in the average loan balance of net loans receivable outstanding for the three and nine months ended March 31, 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.
Interest on FDIC insured bank certificates of deposit decreased $23 thousand or 44.2% and $263 thousand or 72.3% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a $4.0 million decrease in the average portfolio balance of certificates of deposit and a 20 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield earned when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a $9.1 million decrease in the weighted average portfolio balance certificates of deposit and a 112 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 fifteen 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.
Dividends on FHLB stock were $0 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 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 $517 thousand and $1.1 million were recorded for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011.
Interest Expense. Interest paid on FHLB advances decreased $1.2 million or 66.7% and $2.5 million or 46.7% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2010. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to an $83.1 million decrease in the average balance of fixed rate legacy FHLB long-term advances and a 41 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield paid on fixed rate legacy FHLB long-term advances when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a $57.6
34
Table of Contents
million decrease in the average balance of fixed rate legacy FHLB long-term advances and a 23 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield paid on fixed rate legacy FHLB long-term advances when compared to the same period in 2010. The decreases in the average balances of fixed rate legacy FHLB long-term borrowings were due to the maturity of nine fixed rate legacy FHLB long-term borrowings totaling $70.0 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
Interest expense on deposits and escrows decreased $42 thousand or 16.2% and $197 thousand or 20.7% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in interest expense on deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a 73 basis point decrease in the weighted average rate paid on time deposits, which was partially offset by a $33.0 million increase in the average balance of time deposits when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a 103 basis point decrease in the weighted average rate paid on time deposits, which was partially offset by a $42.7 million increase in the average balance of time deposits, when compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in average yields of time deposits reflects lower market rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 while the change in average balances for time deposits is a result of the Savings Banks participation in brokered CD programs. The increase in the average balance of time deposits in both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to an increase in wholesale deposits including CDARS One Way Buy transactions and to a lesser extent, brokered deposits, when compared to the same periods in 2010.
Interest paid on Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) short-term borrowings decreased $51 thousand or 100.0% and $136 thousand or 100.0% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2010. The decrease for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 was attributable to the payoff of all FRB Term Auction Facility borrowings. The FRB terminated the Term Auction Facility in April 2010.
Interest paid on other short-term borrowings increased $3 thousand or 150.0% and $14 thousand or 233.3% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2010. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a $3.9 million increase in average balances of other short-term borrowings during the period. The increase for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a $5.1 million increase in the average balances of other short-term borrowings outstanding when compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in average balances of other short-term borrowings is attributable to more favorable short-term borrowing rates offered by brokers for comparable FHLB short-term borrowings.
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 increased $6 thousand or 150.0% and $27 thousand or 270.0% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, when compared to the same periods in 2010. At March 31, 2011, the Companys total allowance for loan losses amounted to $663 thousand or 1.3% of the Companys total loan portfolio, as compared to $645 thousand or 1.1% at June 30, 2010.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased by $77 thousand or 197.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and increased $69 thousand or 21.2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, when compared to the same periods in 2010. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to the absence of a $95 thousand other-than-temporary impairment loss recognized in earnings during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, which was partially offset by decreases in service charges on deposits and market gains on trading assets, when compared to the same period in 2010. The increase for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to the absence of a $93 thousand other-than-temporary impairment loss recognized in earnings during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and an increase in correspondent loan fees, which were partially offset by a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts, and the absence of gains on trading assets during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010.

Table of Contents
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $47 thousand or 5.3% and $157 thousand or 5.8% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, when compared to the same periods in 2010. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was principally attributable to a $36 thousand increase in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance expense. The increase for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to a $90 thousand increase in ATM related expenses and a $91 thousand increase in FDIC insurance expense, which were partially offset by a $36 thousand decrease in employee related expenses. The increase in ATM related expenses, for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were primarily attributable to the settlement of ATM litigation. See Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, in this Form 10-Q.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $210 thousand and $293 thousand for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2010. The increase for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily due to higher levels of taxable income and the absence of PA tax credits when compared to the same periods in 2010.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $2.7 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Net cash provided by operating activities was primarily comprised of $1.2 million in amortizations of investment premiums, a $1.1 million decrease in accrued interest receivable, $626 thousand of Company net income, and a $327 thousand decrease in prepaid or accrued income taxes, which were partially offset by a $602 thousand decrease in transaction account clearing balance payable to the Federal Reserve.
Funds provided by investing activities totaled $107.8 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Primary sources of funds during the nine months ended March 31, 2011, included maturities and repayments of investment securities, mortgage-backed securities and certificates of deposit totaling $102.4 million, $58.3 million, $5.4 million, respectively, a $4.1 million decrease in net loans receivable, and redemptions of FHLB stock totaling $1.1 million, which were partially offset by purchases of investment securities and certificates of deposit totaling $60.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
Funds used for financing activities totaled $107.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The primary uses included a $70.0 million decrease in fixed rate legacy FHLB long-term advances, a $16.3 million decrease in wholesale time deposits, a $12.5 million decrease in other short-term borrowings, and an $8.0 million decrease in retail certificates of deposit. 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 chose to repay $16.3 million of wholesale time deposits and $12.5 million of other short-term borrowings using cash flow from repayments on mortgage-backed securities. The $8.0 million decrease in retail 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 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 March 31, 2011 totaled $72.6 million. At March 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding $38.5 million of certificates of deposits (CDs) issued through the CDARS One-Way Buy Program. CDARS CDs totaling $32.0 million reprice on a monthly basis at LIBOR plus 14 basis points and mature on April 7, 2011. CDARS CDs totaling $6.5 million mature on April 14, 2011 and carry a fixed rate of interest at 0.60%. The Company intends to repay the maturing wholesale CDs with investment and MBS cash flows and an increase in other short-term borrowings during fiscal 2011.

Table of Contents
At March 31, 2011, the Company also had $496 thousand of other brokered CDs which carried fixed rates of interest ranging from 0.50% to 0.60% with various maturities through July 19, 2011. During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, approximately $5.6 million of other brokers CDs matured and were repaid.
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 March 31, 2011, total approved loan commitments outstanding amounted to approximately $36 thousand. At the same date, commitments under unused lines of credit amounted to $5.1 million and the unadvanced portion of construction loans approximated $5.8 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. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company began to utilize whole-sale deposits in order to rebalance its short-term liability structure. The use of whole-sale deposits also allows the Company to match its corporate bond maturities and cash-flows from its private-label CMO securities. Management believes that the Company currently has adequate liquidity available to respond to liquidity demands.
On April 26, 2011, the Companys Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.04 per share payable May 26, 2011, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 9, 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.
Recently, the Savings Bank learned the results of a targeted regulatory visitation and review of the Savings Banks asset quality, earnings performance and capital protection. The review was primarily related to the Savings Banks private label mortgage-backed securities portfolio as a result of the previously reported downgrades of certain private-label CMOs within the Savings Banks investment portfolio by one or more national rating agencies. In connection with the regulatory review, the Savings Bank agreed to take certain actions to monitor and improve related asset quality in relation to regulatory capital. These actions include: additional documentation and monitoring procedures relating to its assessment of other than temporary impairment and market (fair) value estimates, the submission of a capital plan to its regulators, and to seek prior non-objection from its banking regulators for any dividends payable by the Savings Bank to the Company. The Company has made similar commitments to the Federal Reserve. The Company previously announced and reported a reduction of its quarterly cash dividend from $0.16 to $0.04 per share along with the suspension of common stock repurchases under its stock repurchase program. The Company believes that these actions demonstrate its commitment to serve as a source of strength to the Savings Bank and are appropriate in light of todays economic environment. The Company believes that its liquidity is strong with liquid assets totaling approximately $1.2 million. This level of liquidity could support operating expenses and the current dividend for about two years without any dividend income from the Savings Bank. Dividends are subject to declaration by the Board of Directors, which take into account the Companys financial condition, earnings, 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 March 31, 2011, WVS Financial Corp. exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and maintained Tier I and total risk-based capital equal to $30.2 million or 20.4% and $30.9 million or 20.9%, respectively, of total risk-weighted assets, and Tier I leverage capital of $30.2 million or 11.50% 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.

Table of Contents
The Companys nonperforming assets at March 31, 2011 totaled approximately $2.4 million or 1.0% of total assets as compared to $1.7 million or 0.5% of total assets at June 30, 2010. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2011 consisted of: four single-family real estate loans totaling $1.0 million, two single-family construction loans totaling $1.0 million, and two home equity lines of credit totaling $359 thousand. These loans are in various stages of collection activity.
The $736 thousand increase in nonperforming assets during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was attributable to the classification to non-performing status of two single-family construction loans totaling $1.0 million, which were partially offset by the reclassification to performing status of one single family real estate loan totaling $286 thousand.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2011, approximately $107 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 nine months ended March 31, 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 2011, 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 November 3, 2010, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decided to expand the Federal Reserves holdings of securities to promote a stronger pace of economic recovery and to help ensure that inflation, over time, is at levels consistent with its mandate. In particular, the FOMC decided to purchase an additional $600 billion of longer-term U.S. Treasury securities by June 30, 2011. The Federal Reserve will also continue to reinvest principal payments from agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities into longer-term U.S. Treasury securities. Based on its estimates at the time, the Federal Reserve expected to reinvest about $250 - $300 billion of principal repayments. Taken together, the Federal Reserve anticipates purchasing approximately $850 - $900 billion of longer-term U.S. Treasury securities through June 30, 2011.
Throughout the nine months ended March 31, 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 8.21% at June 30, 2010 to 11.50% at March 31, 2011. We accomplished this primarily by reducing both Company assets and borrowings. 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 and changed the composition of our wholesale funding sources. We reduced our overall borrowings by $82.5 million. Legacy FHLB long-term borrowings were reduced by $70.0 million, while short-term borrowings decreased $12.5 million. We also utilized two sources of wholesale funding: the CDARS One-Way Buy Program and the limited use of other deposit brokers. We believe that the CDARS One-Way Buy Program makes financial sense because it allows us to issue CDs that price monthly using the same LIBOR index used by our floating-rate MBS. The CDARS CDs, along with the other brokered CDs, also allow us to better match cash flow from our maturing corporate bond investments and monthly principal repayments from the MBS portfolio.
Looking ahead, we continue to believe that our net interest income will improve in fiscal year 2011 primarily through the reduction of interest expense on long-term fixed rate legacy FHLB advances. Our legacy long-term fixed rate FHLB advances, taken out a number of years ago when interest rates were higher, will mature as shown below.
Quarter Ended |
Amount/$MM |
Weighted Avg. Rate | ||
06/30/11 | $17.0 | 5.28% |
We expect to repay a substantial portion of these legacy long-term FHLB advances as they mature, and to reprice any amounts not repaid at much lower rates of interest.
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 nine months ended March 31, 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. In the December 2010 quarter, intermediate and long-term market interest rates began to rise, when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010. This enabled the Company to begin to buy callable U.S. Government agency step-up notes in the December 2010 and March 2011 quarters.

The table below shows the quarterly targeted federal funds rate and the benchmark two and ten year treasury yields from June 30, 2007 through March 31, 2011. The difference in yields on the two year and ten year Treasurys is often used to determine the steepness of the yield curve and to assess the term premium of market interest rates.

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 nine months ended March 31, 2011, totaled $14.7 million, $102.4 million and $58.3 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 2011. 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 nine months ended March 31, 2011, principal investment purchases were comprised of: callable U.S. Government agency single and multiple step-up bonds with initial lock-out periods ranging from 3 to 6 months - $47.7 million with a weighted average yield to call of 1.61%; short-term investment grade commercial paper - $5.5 million with a weighted average yield of 0.56%; fixed rate investment grade foreign bonds - $3.7 million with a weighted average yield of 1.13%; floating rate investment grade corporate bonds - $3.0 million with a weighted average yield of 1.16%; and tax free municipal bonds - $600 thousand with a yield of 1.43%. The
41
Table of Contents
Company also invested in FDIC bank insured certificates of deposit totaling $3.0 million with a weighted average yield of 1.06%. Single step-up bonds have one step or increase in coupon. Multiple step-up bonds have more than one step or increase in coupon.
Major investment proceeds received during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were: callable U.S. Government agency bonds - $52.0 million with a weighted average yield of approximately 2.41%; investment grade corporate bonds - $35.4 million with a weighted average yield of approximately 3.07%; investment grade foreign bonds - $6.6 million with a weighted average yield of 1.62%; short-term investment grade commercial paper - $5.5 million with a weighted average yield of 0.56%; investment grade corporate utility first mortgage bonds - $1.6 million with a weighted average yield of 5.99%; and tax free municipal bonds - $900 thousand with a weighted average taxable equivalent yield to maturity of 2.21%. The Company also had $5.4 million in FDIC insured bank certificates of deposit redeemed with a weighted average yield of approximately 1.72%.
As of March 31, 2011, the implementation of these asset and liability management initiatives resulted in the following:
1) | $57.3 million or 33.8% of the Companys investment portfolio was comprised of floating rate mortgage-backed securities (including collateralized mortgage obligations CMOs) that reprice on a monthly basis; |
2) | $44.3 million or 26.1% of the Companys investment portfolio consisted of investment grade fixed-rate corporate bonds with remaining maturities as follows: 3 months or less - $8.0 million or 18.1%; 3 12 months - $8.8 million or 19.9%; 1 2 years - $8.8 million or 19.9%; 2 3 years - $11.4 million or 25.7%; 3 5 years - $2.0 million or 4.5%; and over 5 years - $5.3 million or 11.9%; |
3) | $47.8 million or 28.2% 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 5 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; |
4) | $6.2 million or 2.5% of the Companys total assets consisted of FDIC insured bank certificates of deposit with remaining maturities ranging from two to fifteen months; |
5) | $2.6 million or 1.5% of the Companys investment portfolio was comprised of fixed-rate callable U.S. Government Agency bonds which are callable as follows: 6 months or less - $2.6 million. These bonds may or may not actually be redeemed prior to maturity (i.e. called) depending upon the level of market interest rates at their respective call dates; |
6) | $4.0 million or 2.4% of the Companys investment portfolio consisted of investment grade floating-rate corporate bonds which will reprice within three months and will mature within ten to twenty two months; |
7) | An aggregate of $30.0 million or 57.5% 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 - $17.0 million or 43.0%; 3 12 months - $5.0 million or 12.7%; 3 5 years - $5.0 million or 12.7%; and over 5 years - $12.5 million or 31.6%. |
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.

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 March 31, 2011. This analysis was done assuming that the interest-earning assets will average approximately $237 million and $275 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 March 31, 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 third quarter and fiscal year to date earnings were positively impacted by lower interest expenses associated with repaying the Banks fixed rate legacy long-term FHLB advances. During the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2011, we repaid $10 million and $70 million, respectively, of long-term FHLB advances, which had average rates of 4.99% and 5.49%, respectively.
Market interest rates continued to remain low by historical standards throughout the nine months ended March 31, 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 8.21% at June 30, 2010 to 11.50% at March 31, 2011. As market conditions improve, we may begin to grow 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 March 31, 2011, the Savings Bank had one performance standby letter of credit outstanding totaling approximately $142 thousand. The performance letter of credit is secured by developed property. The letter of credit will mature within six 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.

The Company previously reported, under Item 3(a) of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, a lawsuit filed by Plaintiff Matthew Dragotta against West View Savings Bank. The Plaintiff alleged that West View Savings Bank failed to comply with the notification requirements of the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, 15 U.S.C.§ 1693 et. Seq. before a bank can impose a transaction fee for the use of an automated teller machine. On August 24, 2009 U.S. District Judge, Terrance P. McVerry issued an order granting the Banks motion to Dismiss the lawsuit.
On September 3, 2009, the Plaintiff filed a motion for Reconsideration of Judge McVerrys order granting the Banks motion to Dismiss the lawsuit.
On October 16, 2009, Judge McVerry denied the Plaintiffs Motion for Reconsideration.
On November 4, 2009, the Plaintiff provided a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit appealing Judge McVerrys orders of September 3 and October 16, 2009.
