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 six months ended December 31, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

2.       RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 
In June 2005, the FASB issued FAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Errors Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FAS No. 3. The Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. FAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impractical. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. FAS No.154 improves the financial reporting because its requirements enhance the consistency of financial reporting between periods. The provisions of FAS No. 154 are effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

4.        STOCK BASED COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE

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

Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including changes in economic conditions in the Company’s market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Company’s market area and competition that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to forward looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

GENERAL

WVS Financial Corp. ("WVS" or the "Company") is the parent holding company of West View Savings Bank ("West View" or the "Savings Bank"). The Company was organized in July 1993 as a Pennsylvania-chartered unitary bank holding company and acquired 100% of the common stock of the Savings Bank in November 1993.

West View Savings Bank is a Pennsylvania-chartered, SAIF-insured stock savings bank conducting business from six offices in the North Hills suburbs of Pittsburgh. The Savings Bank converted to the stock form of ownership in November 1993. The Savings Bank had no subsidiaries at December 31, 2005.

The operating results of the Company depend primarily upon its net interest income, which is determined by the difference between income on interest-earning assets, principally loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, which consist primarily of deposits and borrowings. The Company's net income is also affected by its provision for loan losses, as well as the level of its non-interest income, including loan fees and service charges, and its non-interest expenses, such as compensation and employee benefits, income taxes, deposit insurance and occupancy costs.

 
FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's assets totaled $444.2 million at December 31, 2005, as compared to $421.0 million at June 30, 2005. The $23.2 million or 5.5% increase in total assets was primarily comprised of a $17.5 million or 10.8% increase in mortgage-backed securities, a $9.9 million or 5.2% increase in investments and FHLB stock, and a $234 thousand or 6.6% increase in cash and cash equivalents, which were partially offset by a $4.3 million or 7.2% decrease in net loans receivable and a $222 thousand or 16.5% decrease in deferred taxes and other assets. The increases in mortgage-backed and investment securities were attributable to purchases of floating rate collateralized mortgage obligations and callable fixed rate U.S. Government Agency bonds. The decrease in net loans receivable were attributable to seasonal repayments

10


of builder speculative construction loans and repayments caused by continued low intermediate and long-term market interest rates. See “Asset and Liability Management”.

The Company's total liabilities increased $23.5 million or 6.0% to $415.3 million as of December 31, 2005, from $391.8 million as of June 30, 2005. The $23.5 million increase in total liabilities was primarily comprised of a $24.4 million or 35.1% increase in other short-term borrowings and a $12.5 million or 8.1% increase in short-term FHLB advances, which were partially offset by a $13.8 million or 8.4% decrease in total savings deposits. Certificates of deposit decreased $5.0 million primarily due to maturities of local government cash management certificates, savings accounts decreased $4.9 million, demand deposits decreased $4.4 million and advanced payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance decreased $349 thousand, while money market accounts increased $758 thousand.

Total stockholders' equity decreased $299 thousand or 1.0% to $28.9 million as of December 31, 2005, from approximately $29.2 million as of June 30, 2005. Cash dividends and capital expenditures for the Company’s stock repurchase program of $760 thousand and $686 thousand, respectively, and a $72 thousand decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income were partially offset by Company net income of $1.2 million.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General. WVS reported net income of $610 thousand or $0.26 diluted earnings per share and $1.2 million or $0.51 diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively. Net income increased by $21 thousand or 3.6% and diluted earnings per share increased $0.02 or 8.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to a $81 thousand increase in net interest income, a $38 thousand increase in recoveries for loan losses and a $35 thousand decrease in non-interest expense, which were partially offset by a $99 thousand decrease in non-interest income and a $34 thousand increase in income tax expense. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, net income decreased by $205 thousand or 14.4% and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.07 or 12.1% when compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease for the six month period was principally the result of a $301 thousand decrease in non-interest income and a $143 thousand decrease in net interest income, which were partially offset by a $183 thousand change in the provision for loan losses, a $31 thousand decrease in income tax expense, and a $25 thousand decrease in non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income. The Company's net interest income increased by $81 thousand or 5.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. The increase in net interest income for the three month period was primarily attributable to higher yields earned on Company assets due to increases in short-term market interest rates and higher average balances of mortgage-backed securities which were partially offset by higher rates paid on other short-term borrowings, lower average balances of investment securities, including FHLB stock, higher rates paid on deposit accounts and higher average balances of other short-term borrowings. The Company’s net interest income decreased $143 thousand or 4.6% for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in net interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to decreased average balances of investment securities including FHLB Stock, increased rates paid on other short-term borrowings and deposits which were partially offset by higher average balances of mortgage-backed securities and higher yields earned on mortgage-backed and investment securities, including FHLB stock.
 
Interest Income. Total interest and dividend income increased $888 thousand or 20.2% and $1.3 million or 14.7% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2004.

Interest on mortgage-backed securities increased $1.2 million or 112.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. The increase for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to a $61.1 million increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities outstanding for the period and a 144 basis point increase in the average yield

11


earned on mortgage-backed securities when compared to the same period in 2004. Interest on mortgage-backed securities increased $2.5 million or 151.2% for the six months ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. The increases for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to a $77.9 million increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities outstanding for the period, and a 133 basis point increase in the average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities when compared to the same period in 2004. The increases in the weighted average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities were consistent with market conditions for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005. The increase in the average balances of mortgage-backed securities during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to purchases of floating rate mortgage-backed securities.

Interest and dividend income on interest-bearing deposits with other institutions, investment securities and FHLB stock (“other investment securities”) decreased by $253 thousand or 11.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease was principally attributable to a $15.6 million decrease in the average balance outstanding of tax-exempt investment securities and a 96 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield earned on other investment securities for the three months ended December 31, 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004. Interest and dividend income on other investment securities decreased $1.1 million or 21.9% for the six months ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to a $57.8 million decrease in the average balance of other investment securities outstanding which was partially offset by a 24 basis point increase in the weighted average yield earned on other investment securities outstanding, when compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease in the average balances of other investment securities was primarily to fund the Company’s purchases of floating rate mortgage-backed securities and issuer redemptions.

Interest on net loans receivable decreased $58 thousand or 5.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was attributable to a decrease of $5.8 million in the average balance of net loans receivable outstanding which was partially offset by an increase of 26 basis points in the weighted average yield earned on net loans receivable, when compared to the same period in 2004. Interest on net loans receivable decreased $101 thousand or 4.7% for the six months ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was attributable to a $5.6 million decrease in the average balance of net loans receivable outstanding which was partially offset by an increase of 28 basis points in the weighted average yield earned on net loans receivable when compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease in the average loan balance outstanding for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to increased levels of mortgage prepayments and refinancings due to low market rates on mortgages. As part of its asset/liability management strategy, the Company has limited its portfolio origination of longer-term fixed rate loans to mitigate its exposure to a rise in market interest rates. The Company will continue to originate longer-term fixed rate loans for sale on a correspondent basis to increase non-interest income and to contribute to net income.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $807 thousand or 27.1% and $1.4 million or 25.2% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2004.

Interest on FHLB advances and other borrowings increased $578 thousand or 23.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004. The increase for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was attributable to a 73 basis point increase in the weighted average rate paid on FHLB advances and other borrowings for the period and a $13.0 million increase in the average balance of such borrowings when compared to the same period in 2004. Interest on FHLB advances and other borrowings increased $1.0 million or 21.7% for the six months ended December 31, 2005, when compared to the same period in 2004. The increase for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was attributable to a 61 basis point increase in the weighted average rate paid on FHLB advances and other borrowings for the period and a $14.2 million increase in the average balance of such borrowings when compared to the same period in 2004. The weighted average rates paid on FHLB advances and other borrowings increased due to increases in short-term market interest rates.

12



Interest expense on deposits and escrows increased $229 thousand or 43.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004. The increase in interest expense on deposits and escrows for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was attributable to a 67 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits when compared to the same period in 2004. Interest expense on deposits and escrows increased $426 thousand or 40.9% for the six months ended December 31, 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004. The increase in interest expense on deposits and escrows for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to a 60 basis point increase in the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits and a higher proportion of average time deposits to total deposits when compared to the same period in 2004. The weighted average yield paid on interest-bearing deposits reflects increases in market interest rates.

Provision (Recovery) for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses is charged, and a recovery for loan losses is credited, to earnings to maintain the total allowance at a level considered adequate by management to absorb potential losses in the portfolio. Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of the portfolio considering past experience, current economic conditions, volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, and other relevant factors.

The Company recorded a credit provision for loan losses of $45 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2005 compared to a $7 thousand credit provision for the same period in 2004. The $45 thousand credit provision during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to paydowns of non-accrual loans. For the six months ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded a $111 thousand credit provision for loan losses compared to recording a provision of $72 thousand for the same period in 2004. The $111 thousand credit provision for loan losses for the six months ending December 31, 2005 is primarily the result of the Company reallocating $35 thousand of its allowance for loan loss attributable to off balance sheet liabilities (builder letters of credit and undisbursed lines of credit) to a separate reserve account for financial reporting purposes during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and a $53 thousand reduction due to continued paydowns of non-accrual loans. At December 31, 2005, the Company’s total allowance for loan losses amounted to $1.0 million or 1.5% of the Company’s total loan portfolio, as compared to $1.1 million or 1.5% at June 30, 2005.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $99 thousand or 37.2% and $301 thousand or 44.7% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2004. The decreases were primarily attributable to pre-tax securities gains of $99 thousand and $329 thousand for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, compared to pre-tax security gains of $0 and $30 thousand for the same periods in 2005.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $35 thousand or 3.9% and $25 thousand or 1.4% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2004. The decrease for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to a $14 thousand decrease in fixed asset depreciation and maintenance costs, an $8 thousand decrease in employee related costs, a $7 thousand decrease in ATM network expense and a $6 thousand decrease in legal expenses and costs. The decrease for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to a $42 thousand decrease in employee related costs and an $18 thousand decrease in fixed asset depreciation and maintenance costs which were partially offset by a $34 thousand reallocation of a portion of the Company’s allowance for loan loss attributable to off-balance sheet liabilities as discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.5 million during the six months ended December 31, 2005. Net cash provided by operating activities was primarily comprised of $1.2 million of net income, a $227 thousand increase in accrued interest payable and a $206 thousand increase in accrued and deferred taxes.

Funds used for investing activities totaled $22.9 million during the six months ended December 31, 2005. Primary uses of funds during the six months ended December 31, 2005 were $164.7 million of purchases of investment and mortgage-backed securities including Federal Home Loan Bank stock, which were partially offset by $136.4 million from repayments of investments and mortgage-backed securities including Federal Home Loan Bank stock, a $4.4 million decrease in net loans receivable and $1.0 million from the sale of mortgage-backed securities from the Company’s portfolio.

Funds provided by financing activities totaled $21.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The primary sources included a $24.4 million increase in other short-term borrowings, and a $12.5 million increase in FHLB short-term advances which were partially offset by a $13.8 million decrease in deposits and escrows, $760 thousand in cash dividends paid on the Company’s common stock and $686 thousand in purchased treasury stock. Management believes that the Company currently is maintaining adequate liquidity and continues to match funding sources with lending and investment opportunities.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company incurred $675.8 million in other short-term borrowings with a weighted average rate of 4.13% and incurred approximately $24.8 million in various short-term borrowings from the FHLB with a weighted average rate of 4.33%. During the three months ended December 31, 2005, the Company repaid $650.9 million of other short-term borrowings with weighted average rates of 4.06% and $14.2 million of various short-term borrowings from the FHLB with weighted average rates of 3.88%.

The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, repayments and maturities of existing loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, funds from operations, and funds obtained through FHLB advances and other borrowings. At December 31, 2005, the total approved loan commitments outstanding amounted to $998 thousand. At the same date, commitments under unused lines of credit amounted to $6.4 million and the unadvanced portion of construction loans approximated $9.8 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31, 2005 totaled $41.4 million. Management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with the Company.

Historically, the Company used its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments to pay maturing savings certificates and savings withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain a substantial portfolio of investment securities. The Company has been able to generate sufficient cash through the retail deposit market, its traditional funding source, and through FHLB advances and other borrowings, to provide the cash utilized in investing activities. The Company also has access to the Federal Reserve Bank Primary Credit Program. Management believes that the Company currently has adequate liquidity available to respond to liquidity demands.

On January 31, 2006, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.16 per share payable February 16, 2006, to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 6, 2006. Dividends are subject to determination and declaration by the Board of Directors, which take into account the Company's financial condition, statutory and regulatory restrictions, general economic conditions and other factors. There can be no assurance that dividends will in fact be paid on the Common Stock in future periods or that, if paid, such dividends will not be reduced or eliminated.

As of December 31, 2005, WVS Financial Corp. exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and maintained Tier I and total risk-based capital equal to $28.8 million or 21.8% and $29.9 million or 22.6%, respectively, of total risk-weighted assets, and Tier I leverage capital of $28.8 million or 6.70% of average quarterly assets.

14



Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans and real estate owned. A loan is placed on nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of interest is deemed insufficient to warrant further accrual. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but uncollected interest is deducted from interest income. The Company normally does not accrue interest on loans past due 90 days or more, however, interest may be accrued if management believes that it will collect on the loan.

The Company's nonperforming assets at December 31, 2005 totaled approximately $503 thousand or 0.11% of total assets as compared to $1.1 million or 0.25% of total assets at June 30, 2005. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2005 consisted of: one land loan totaling $367 thousand, one single-family real estate loan totaling $58 thousand, one unsecured bankruptcy claim totaling $53 thousand, one line of credit totaling $17 thousand and one single-family property subject to redemption totaling $10 thousand.

The $554 thousand decrease in nonperforming assets during the six months ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to the payoff in full of one non-performing speculative construction loan totaling approximately $456 thousand, the sale of a single-family home with a carrying value of approximately $70 thousand, principal paydowns totaling approximately $26 thousand on two claims related to a bankruptcy discussed below, the reclassification of an $11 thousand home equity line of credit loan from non-performing to performing status and a $7 thousand partial charge off and transfer to other assets of a home equity loan which were partially offset by the addition to non-accrual status of one line of credit secured by real property totaling approximately $17 thousand.

At December 31, 2005, the Company had one non-performing loan secured by undeveloped land totaling $367 thousand and one unsecured bankruptcy claim totaling $53 thousand to two borrowers. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the Bankruptcy Court approved a secured claim totaling $440 thousand and an unsecured claim totaling $76 thousand be paid in accordance with a Bankruptcy Plan of Reorganization. All Court ordered plan payments have been received in a timely manner. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, payments received are being applied on a cost recovery basis.
 
During the six months ended December 31, 2005, approximately $15 thousand of interest income would have been recorded on loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis and troubled debt restructurings if such loans had been current according to the original loan agreements for the entire period. These amounts were not included in the Company’s interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The Company continues to work with the borrowers in an attempt to cure the defaults and is also pursuing various legal avenues in order to collect on these loans.

ITEM 3.


QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. All of the Company's transactions are denominated in US dollars with no specific foreign exchange exposure. The Savings Bank has no agricultural loan assets and therefore would not have a specific exposure to changes in commodity prices. Any impacts that changes in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices would have on interest rates are assumed to be exogenous and will be analyzed on an ex post basis.

Interest rate risk ("IRR") is the exposure of a banking organization's financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Accepting this risk can be an important source of profitability and shareholder value, however, excessive levels of IRR can pose a significant threat to the Company's earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains IRR at prudent levels is essential to the Company's safety and soundness.

Evaluating a financial institution’s exposure to changes in interest rates includes assessing both the adequacy of the management process used to control IRR and the organization’s quantitative level of exposure. When assessing the IRR management process, the Company seeks to ensure that appropriate policies, procedures, management information systems and internal controls are in place to maintain IRR at prudent levels with consistency and continuity. Evaluating the quantitative level of IRR exposure requires the Company to assess the existing and potential future effects of changes in interest rates on its consolidated financial condition, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity, and, where appropriate, asset quality.

Financial institutions derive their income primarily from the excess of interest collected over interest paid. The rates of interest an institution earns on its assets and owes on its liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Since market interest rates change over time, an institution is exposed to lower profit margins (or losses) if it cannot adapt to interest-rate changes. For example, assume that an institution's assets carry intermediate- or long-term fixed rates and that those assets were funded with short-term liabilities. If market interest rates rise by the time the short-term liabilities must be refinanced, the increase in the institution’s interest expense on its liabilities may not be sufficiently offset if assets continue to earn interest at the long-term fixed rates. Accordingly, an institution’s profits could decrease on existing assets because the institution will either have lower net interest income or, possibly, net interest expense. Similar risks exist when assets are subject to contractual interest-rate ceilings, or rate sensitive assets are funded by longer-term, fixed-rate liabilities in a decreasing-rate environment.

During the six months ended December 31, 2005, the Federal Open Market Committee increased its targeted federal funds rate by one-hundred basis points from 3.25% at June 30, 2005 to 4.25% at December 31, 2005. The benchmark two and ten year treasury yields were 4.38% and 4.37% respectively at December 31, 2005, as compared to 3.66% and 3.94% respectively at June 30, 2005. These changes in short, intermediate and long-term market interest rates and the flattening of the Treasury yield curve have precipitated continued prepayments in the Company’s loan, investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios and a marked compression of industry-wide net interest margins.

Principal repayments on the Company’s loan, investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios for the six months ended December 31, 2005, totaled $14.9 million, $66.3 million and $66.0 million, respectively. In response to higher levels of liquidity the Company rebalanced its loan, investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios.

Due to the term structure of market interest rates, the Company continued to reduce its portfolio originations of long-term fixed rate mortgages while continuing to offer such loans on a correspondent basis. The Company also makes available for origination residential mortgage loans with interest rates which adjust pursuant to a designated index, although customer acceptance has been somewhat limited in the Savings

16


Bank's market area. The Company will continue to selectively offer commercial real estate, land acquisition and development, and shorter-term construction loans, primarily on residential properties, to partially increase interest income while limiting interest rate risk. The Company has also emphasized higher yielding home equity and small business loans to existing customers and seasoned prospective customers.

The Company began to purchase fixed rate callable U. S. Government Agency bonds in order to earn a spread against the Company’s long-term FHLB advances while limiting interest rate risk within the portfolio. Within the mortgage-backed securities portfolio, the Company continued to purchase floating rate securities in order to provide current income and in response to rising short-term market interest rates. Each of the aforementioned strategies also helped to better match the interest-rate and liquidity risks associated with the Savings Bank’s customers’ liquidity preference for shorter term deposit products.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, principal investment purchases were comprised of: callable fixed rate government agency bonds which are callable within six to thirty-six months - $50.5 million with a weighted average yield to call of approximately 6.09%; and floating rate collateralized mortgage obligations which reprice monthly - $23.4 million with an original weighted average yield of approximately 4.78%. Major investment proceeds received during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 were: mortgage-backed securities - $26.2 million; callable government agency bonds - $15.0 million with a weighted average yield of approximately 3.33%; corporate demand notes - $8.3 million with a weighted average quarterly yield of 4.67%; and tax-free municipal bonds - $2.0 million with a weighted average yield of approximately 5.96%.

During the six months ended December 31, 2005 principal investment purchases were comprised of: floating rate collateralized mortgage obligations which reprice monthly - $84.5 million with an original weighted average yield of 4.50%; callable fixed rate government agency bonds which are callable within six to thirty-six months - $50.5 million with a weighted average yield to call of approximately 6.09%; and callable floating rate government agency bonds which will reprice within twenty-four to thirty-three months - $25.0 million with a weighted average yield of approximately 5.07%. Major investment proceeds received during the six months ended December 31, 2005 were: mortgage-backed securities - $66.0 million; callable floating rate government agency bonds - $45.0 million with a weighted average yield of approximately 3.30%; tax-free municipal bonds - $12.0 million with a weighted average yield of approximately 5.91%; and corporate demand notes - $7.3 million with a weighted average semiannual yield of 4.34%.

As of December 31, 2005, the implementation of these asset and liability management initiatives resulted in the following:

 
1)
$177.3 million or 98.7% of the Company’s portfolio of mortgage-backed securities (including collateralized mortgage obligations - “CMOs”) were comprised of floating rate instruments that reprice on a monthly basis;
 
2)
$97.9 million or 50.8% of the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of fixed to floating rate U.S. Government Agency bonds which will reprice as follows: 3 months or less - $15.0 million; 3 - 6 months - $10.0 million; 6 - 12 months - $32.9 million; and over 1 year - $40.0 million;
 
3)
$50.5 million or 26.2% of the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of fixed-rate callable U.S. Government Agency bonds which are callable as follows: 6 months or less - $10.4 million; 6 - 12 months - $18.3 million; 1 - 2 years - $15.0 million; and over 2 years - $6.8 million;
 
4)
$30.1 million or 15.6% of the Company’s investment portfolio was comprised of U.S. Government Agency Step-up bonds which will reprice as follows: 1 year or less - $14.9 million from 4.00% to 7.00%; 1 - 2 years - $8.5 million from 4.00% to 7.00%, $2.0 million from 4.40% to 7.00%, and $4.7 million from 4.70% to 6.00%;
 
5)
an aggregate of $30.7 million or 54.0% of the Company’s net loan portfolio had adjustable interest rates or maturities of less than 12 months;
 
6)
the maturity distribution of the Company’s borrowings is as follows: 1 month or less - $118.9 million or 45.4%; 1 - 6 months - $4.1 million or 1.6%; 1 - 3 years - $3.0 million or 1.2%; 3 - 5 years - $91.1 million or 34.8%; and over 5 years - $44.5 million or 17.0%.

The effect of interest rate changes on a financial institution's assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the “interest rate sensitivity” of the assets and liabilities and by monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity "gap". An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within a given time period. A gap is considered positive (negative) when the amount of rate sensitive assets (liabilities) exceeds the amount of rate sensitive liabilities (assets). During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income.

The following table sets forth certain information at the dates indicated relating to the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which are estimated to mature or are scheduled to reprice within one year.

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

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