NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Principles of Consolidation
BCSB Bankcorp, Inc. (the “Company”) owns 100% of Baltimore County Savings Bank, F.S.B. and subsidiaries (the “Bank”), and also invests in federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and U.S. Agency bonds. The Bank owns 100% of Ebenezer Road, Inc. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of these companies on a consolidated basis. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Ebenezer Road, Inc. sells insurance products. Its operations are not material to the consolidated financial statements.
The Company owns 100% of the common stock of BCSB Capital Trust I and BCSB Capital Trust II and in accordance with FASB Interpretation Number 46 these entities have not been consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 -Basis for Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, (none of which were other than normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis with those of the Bank. The results for the three months ended December 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2006. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes which are incorporated by reference in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Sates of America requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term related to the determination of the allowance for loan losses (the “Allowance”), other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, deferred tax assets, goodwill, and intangible assets.
Note 3 -Cash Flow Presentation
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and amounts due from depository institutions, investments in federal funds, and certificates of deposit with original maturities of 90 days or less.

Note 6 -Stock Option Plan
As of December 31, 2005 and 2004 the Company had four stock-based employee compensation plans, which are more fully described in the 2005 Annual Report. Prior to fiscal 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic value method as outlined in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), and related interpretations in accounting for stock options and share units granted under these programs. Under the intrinsic value method, no compensation expense was recognized if the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equaled the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant. Accordingly, no compensation cost was recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings prior to fiscal year 2006 on stock options granted to employees, since all options granted under the Company’s share incentive programs had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
Effective October 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). This statement replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”) and supersedes APB No. 25. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that all stock-based compensation be recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such cost be measured at the fair value of the award. This statement was adopted using the modified prospective method of application, which requires the Company to recognize compensation expense on a prospective basis. Therefore, prior period financial statements have not been restated. Under this method, in addition to reflecting compensation expense for new share-based awards, expense is also recognized to reflect the remaining service period of awards that had been included in pro-forma disclosures in prior periods. SFAS No. 123(R) also requires that excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises be reflected as financing cash inflows instead of operating cash inflows. The adoption of this new standard resulted in $8,000 of compensation expense to be recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2005.
Prior to the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), SFAS No. 123 required that the Company provide pro forma information regarding net earnings and net earnings per common share as if compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based awards had been determined in accordance with the fair value method prescribed therein. The Company had previously adopted the disclosure portion of SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure,” requiring quarterly SFAS No. 123 pro forma disclosure. The pro forma charge for compensation cost related to stock-based awards granted was recognized over the service period. For stock options, the service period represents the period of time between the date of grant and the date each option becomes
9
exercisable without consideration of acceleration provisions (e.g., retirement, change of control, etc.). Compensation cost is recorded for the value of shares of common stock granted to employees and directors under the Bank’s Management Recognition Plan.
The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings per common share as if the fair value method had been applied to all outstanding awards for the three months ended December 31, 2004:

Note 7 -Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS 123R is a revision of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. SFAS 123R eliminates the alternative to apply the Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” intrinsic value method of accounting for the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments. SFAS 123R provides for the initial measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The fair value of that award will be re-measured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) announced the adoption of a new rule that amends the effective date of SFAS 123R. The effective date of the standard under these new rules for the Company’s consolidated financial statements is October 1, 2005. See Note 6 for the effect this new accounting pronouncement had on this Company’s financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions” (“SFAS 153”). SFAS 153 eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. SFAS 153 specifies that a nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This standard was effective for fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 153 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 8 -Guarantees
The Company does not issue any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure, other than its standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, all letters of credit, when issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. The Company has $701,000 of standby letters of credit as of December 31, 2005. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payment required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the liability as of December 31, 2005 for guarantees under standby letters of credit issued is not considered to be material.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
BCSB Bankcorp, Inc.BCSB Bankcorp, Inc. (the “Company”) serves as the holding company for its wholly owned subsidiaries, Baltimore County Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the “Bank”), BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust I and BCSB Bankcorp Capital Trust II. Baltimore County Savings Bank, M.H.C. (the “MHC”), a federal mutual holding company, owns 63.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company’s assets consist of its investment in the Bank and its portfolio of investment securities. The Company is primarily engaged in the business of directing, planning and coordinating the business activities of the Bank.
The Company’s most significant asset is its investment in the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank. In the future, the Company may become an operating company or acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries, including other financial institutions. Currently, the Company does not maintain offices separate from those of the Bank or employ any persons other than officers of the Bank who are not separately compensated for such service. At December 31, 2005, the Company had total consolidated assets of $812.6 million, total deposits of $606.8 million and stockholders’ equity of $40.7 million.
The Company’s and the Bank’s executive offices are located at 4111 E. Joppa Road, Suite 300, Baltimore, Maryland 21236, and its main telephone number is (410) 256-5000.
Baltimore County Savings Bank, F.S.B.The Bank is a federally chartered stock savings bank operating through eighteen banking offices serving the Baltimore metropolitan area. The Bank was chartered by the State of Maryland in 1955 under the name Baltimore County Building and Loan Association. The Bank received federal insurance of its deposit accounts in 1985 and received a federal charter in 1987, at which time it adopted its present name of Baltimore County Savings Bank, F.S.B.
The Bank’s principal business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and investing these funds in loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, single-family residences in the Bank’s market area, and, to a lesser extent, other real estate loans, consisting of construction loans, single-family rental property loans and commercial real estate loans, and consumer loans, particularly automobile loans. The Bank derives its income principally from interest earned on loans and, to a lesser extent, interest earned on mortgage-backed securities and investment securities and fees and charges. Funds for these activities are provided principally by operating revenues, deposits and repayments of outstanding loans and investment securities and mortgage-backed securities.

Supervisory Agreement
On December 8, 2005, the Bank entered into a Supervisory Agreement with the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”).
Pursuant to the terms of Supervisory Agreement, the Bank agreed as follows:
| (1) | To review and revise as necessary the Bank’s written policy for compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act (the “BSA”) laws and regulations (the “BSA Compliance Program”). In amending the BSA Compliance Program, the Board of Directors must: (i) review and revise as necessary the Bank’s written methodology for assigning risk levels; (ii) strengthen the Bank’s customer identification program; (iii) review and revise as necessary the Bank’s written internal controls, due diligence processes and oversight and monitoring procedures; (iv) strengthen the Bank’s currency transaction reporting procedures; (v) review and revise as necessary the Bank’s specific review procedures to ensure the accurate completion and timely filing of all currency transaction reports; and (vi) complete all other actions discussed in the Bank’s 2005 examination. The Board also must review the Bank’s BSA Compliance Program on an annual basis to assess its adequacy and compliance with applicable BSA laws and regulations and, within 60 days, review and revise the Bank’s policies and procedures for conducting annual independent testing of the Bank’s BSA Compliance Program. |
| (2) | To review and amend as necessary the Bank’s Flood Disaster Protection Act Policy and procedures to ensure that appropriate flood insurance, if required, is obtained and maintained for all properties securing a loan from the Bank. |
| (3) | To review and revise as necessary the Bank’s written indirect automobile loan underwriting policies and procedures. |
| (4) | Within 60 days, to prepare, adopt and submit for review and approval by the OTS a comprehensive three year business plan that considers the Bank’s existing operations, business strategies, current market conditions, local demographics, earnings, available resources and existing capital levels. |
The Supervisory Agreement will remain in effect until terminated, modified, or suspended in writing by the OTS.
The Company believes that the Bank has already adopted and implemented all of the various plans, policies and procedures required by the Supervisory Agreement and the Bank has able to fully adopted and implemented the various plans, policies and procedures required by the Supervisory Agreement. However, a failure to comply with the Supervisory Agreement could result in the initiation of a formal enforcement action by the OTS, including the imposition of civil monetary penalties. While the Supervisory Agreement is expected to result in additional regulatory compliance expense for the Company, the amount of such expense is not anticipated to have a material financial impact on the Company.
The foregoing information does not purport to be a complete summary of the Supervisory Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supervisory Agreement filed as Exhibit 99 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 14, 2005.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition is based on the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the allowance for loan losses.
Management believes the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that required the most significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s evaluation of the level of the allowance required in relation to the estimated loss
12
exposure in the loan portfolio. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is a significant estimated loss and therefore regularly evaluates it for adequacy by taking into consideration factors such as prior loan loss experience, the character and size of the loan portfolio, business and economic conditions and management’s estimation of losses. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different provisions for loan losses. Refer to the discussion of Allowance for Loan Losses in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the annual report for a detailed description of management’s estimation process and methodology related to the allowance for loan losses.
Securities are evaluated periodically to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary. The term “other than temporary” is not intended to indicate a permanent decline in value. Rather, it means that the prospects for near term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support fair values equal to, or greater than, the carrying value of the investment. Management reviews criteria such as the magnitude and duration of the decline, as well as the reasons for the decline, to predict whether the loss in value is other than temporary. Once decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized.
Forward-Looking Statements
When used in this Annual Report, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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, competition and information provided by third-party vendors 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 any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2005
During the three months ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s assets decreased by $123,000, or .02% from $812.7 million at September 30, 2005 to $812.6 million at December 31, 2005. The Company’s interest bearing deposits in other banks decreased $748,000, or 47.4% from $1.6 million at September 30, 2005 to $830,000 at December 31, 2005. The Company’s investment portfolio available for sale decreased $473,000 or .31%, from $151.4 million at September 30, 2005 to $150.9 million at December 31, 2005. The Company’s investment portfolio held to maturity decreased $500,000 from $2.0 million at September 30, 2005 to $1.5 million at December 31, 2005. Net loans receivable, increased $2.3 million, or .50%, from $454.3 million at September 30, 2005 to $456.6 million at December 31, 2005. The Bank’s lending strategy has shifted such that commercial real estate lending and commercial business lending has become a key focus. The Bank has ceased its indirect auto lending program and will focus its efforts on residential and commercial real estate lending in the future. The indirect loan portfolio is expected to decline over time as the loans are paid down. The Company’s mortgage-backed securities available for sale decreased by $8.0 million, or 7.2%, from $112.1 million at September 30, 2005 to $104.1 million at December 31, 2005. The Company’s mortgage-backed securities held to maturity decreased $2.1 million or 7.8% from $26.5 million at September 30, 2005 to $24.4 million at December 31, 2005. Premises and equipment increased $776,000, or 7.2% from $10.9 million at September 30, 2005 to $11.6 million at December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to building the new Owings Mills office. Prepaid and deferred income taxes increased $784,000, or 20.3% from $3.9 million at September 30, 2005 to $4.6 million at December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to the increase in other accumulated comprehensive income which is affected by unrealized losses in the available for sale investment portfolio. All of the preceding was accomplished in an effort to reduce interest rate risk in the balance sheet. The cash surrender value on the Bank Owned Life Insurance increased $136,000, or 1.1% from $12.7 million at September 30, 2005 to $12.8 million at December 31, 2005. Due to the decrease in the interest margin, the Bank’s current budget calls for minimal growth, until interest margins return to a level sufficient to allow growth. The Bank is seeking to increase core deposits in an effort to reduce borrowings. Any increase in deposits will be offset by decreases in levels of borrowings. New loans will be made to offset payments received on existing loans and securities. If payments received on loans exceed demand, then comparative securities may be purchased or borrowings further reduced.
13
Deposits increased by $9.1 million, or 1.5%, from $597.7 million at September 30, 2005 to $606.8 million at December 31, 2005. The increase in deposits was achieved through normal marketing efforts and the opening of two new offices located in Sparks, Maryland and Honeygo, Maryland. The growth in deposits helped to fund loan demand. The Company uses both short-term and long-term borrowings to fund growth of interest earnings assets in excess of deposit growth. Short-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta increased by $17.6 million, or 21.7% from $81.1 million at September 30, 2005 to $98.8 million at December 31, 2005. Long-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta decreased by $27.0 million, or 42.5% from $63.6 million at September 30, 2005 to $36.6 million at December 31, 2005. As borrowings mature new funds have been purchased with short term maturities in anticipation of funds availability from increased core deposits and loan payments received that will be used to pay off these borrowings.
Stockholders’ equity decreased by $1.3 million, or 3.1% from $42.0 million at September 30, 2005 to $40.7 million at December 31, 2005, which was primarily attributable to the increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.0 million from, a negative $3.9 million at September 30, 2005 to a negative $4.9 million at December 31, 2005. These unrealized losses are considered temporary as they reflect market values on December 31, 2005 and are subject to change daily as interest rates fluctuate. This decrease is due to the effect rising interest rates have on the available for sale securities recorded at fair market value. This decline in value has no impact on the Bank’s regulatory capital.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004
Net Income. Net income decreased from income of $86,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to a net loss of $(119,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily to an increase in interest expense of $1.3 million, or 29.1% from $4.6 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $5.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to a decrease in net interest income of $383,000 from $4.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $3.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005. An increase in non-interest expenses of $161,000 was also partially attributable to the decrease in net income. These increases were partially offset by decreases in the provision for loan losses and income taxes.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased by $383,000 or 9.5% from $4.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in net interest income primarily was the result of increases in the average rate on interest bearing liabilities and an increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities. Due to rising interest rates and deposits re-pricing faster than loans, the interest rate spread decreased 22 basis points from 2.20% for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to 1.98% for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The Company’s ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 100.22% for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to 98.39% for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The Company’s spread has decreased due to the rising rates paid on borrowed funds and deposits not completely offset by rising rates for new loans. Improvements in spread should occur if long term interest rates rise and the Company has the resources from either re-pricing assets or new funds received to re-pay the borrowed funds.
Interest Income. Interest income increased by $963,000, or 11.2% from $8.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $9.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Interest and fees on loans increased by $1.1 million, or 19.2%, from $5.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $6.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005. This was primarily due to a increase in the average balance of loans receivable of $69.8 million from $387.4 million at December 31, 2004 to $457.3 at December 31, 2005, and an increase in the average yield earned on loans receivable of 6 basis points from 5.84% at December 31, 2004 to 5.90% at December 31, 2005. The increase in the average balance of loans was primarily attributable to the Bank having competitive rates and current economic conditions and management’s strategy to focus lending on variable rate commercial real estate loans and short term home equity loans. The increase in the average yield was attributable to the prevailing market rates in the economy. Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $321,000 or 19.6% from $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities from $171.6 million at December 31, 2004 to $133.8 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease in the average balance more than offset an increase in the average rate from 3.8% at December 31, 2004 to 3.9% at December 31, 2005. Interest and dividends on investment securities increased by $211,000, or 16.1% from $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005. This was primarily due to an increase in the average yield on investments of 56 basis points from 3.23% for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to 3.79% for the three months ended December 31, 2005 due to step up provisions on some investment securities. However, this was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of investments of $2.0 million, from $162.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $160.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005.
Interest Expense. Interest expense, which consists of interest on deposits, interest on borrowed money and other interest expense increased from $4.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $6.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 a change of $1.3 million or 29.1%. Interest on deposits increased $624,000 from $3.5 million at December 31, 2004 to $4.1 million at December 31, 2005 due to an increase in the average yield on deposits of 36 basis points from 2.40% for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to 2.76% for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Also contributing to the increase in interest expense was an increase in the average balance of deposits of $14.5 million, or 2.5% from $586.8 million at December 31, 2004 to $601.3 million at December 31, 2005. The Company was able to increase its deposits through normal marketing efforts, and the opening of two new offices. Interest on short-term borrowings increased by $657,000 or 271.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Interest on long-term borrowings decreased by $60,000 or 11.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The overall increase in borrowings was primarily due to an increase of $25.8 million in the average balances of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta during the three months ended December 31, 2005. Also contributing to interest expense was interest on the Trust Preferred Securities/Junior Subordinated Debentures which increased by $125,000 from $321,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $446,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. This increase was due to the increase in the average yield paid on the Junior Subordinated Debentures from 5.71%, during 2004 to 7.67% during 2005. The rates on the Junior Subordinate Debentures are based on LIBOR and adjust quarterly.
15
Average Balance Sheet. The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and cost of liabilities for the periods indicated and the average yields earned and rates paid. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the three month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Total average assets are computed using month-end balances.
The table also presents information for the periods indicated with respect to the differences between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, or “interest rate spread,” which banks have traditionally used as an indicator of profitability. Another indicator of net interest income is “net interest margin,” which is its net interest income divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company charges or reverses provisions for loan losses which affects earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level management considers adequate to provide losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. In determining the provision, management considers a number of factors such as existing loan levels, prior loss experience, current economic conditions and the probability of these conditions affecting existing loans. The Company reversed previously recorded provisions for losses on loans by $109,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, as compared to establishing a provision for losses on loans. A provision of $120,000 was established for the three months ended December 31, 2004. During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Bank received a recovery in the amount of $120,000 on a loan that had been previously charged off. Exclusive of that recovery management’s analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses indicated the need for a provision during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 in the amount of $11,000. As a result, the recovery net of the current provision resulted in a negative provision in the amount of $109,000. Loan chargeoffs for the three months ended December 31, 2005 were $33,000 as compared to $64,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 a decrease of $31,000. The decrease in loan chargeoffs was due to prevailing low loan delinquency and a decrease in actual losses in the bank’s consumer loan portfolio. Loan recoveries were $19,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 compared to $35,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. Non performing loans at December 31, 2005 were $640,000 as compared to $1.4 million at December 31, 2004. The total loss allowance allocated to loans is $2.6 million at December 31, 2005. In establishing such provisions, management considered an analysis of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio. For additional information see Asset Quality.
Other Income.Other income decreased by $33,000, or 11.1% from $298,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $265,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in other income for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was partially attributable to a decrease in fees on transaction accounts of $28,000 from $189,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $161,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, as we eliminated fees on certain products in an effort to compete in the market and increase our transaction accounts which are our lowest cost source of funding. Income from Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI ) increased $4,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $113,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004, to $117,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. This increase was due to an adjustment in the rate of dividends earned on the BOLI investment.
17
Non-interest Expenses.Total non-interest expenses increased by $161,000, or 3.9%, from $4.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $4.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The increase in non-interest expenses was primarily due to the increase in data processing fees of $114,000, from $536,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $650,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. This increase was due to the conversion costs associated with the change of data processors. Data processing costs are expected to decrease in the future due to savings resulting from to the data processing conversion to Fiserve. Occupancy expense also increased by $152,000, from $400,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $552,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. This was mainly due to the opening of two offices and normal increases in rent and electricity. Advertising expense also increased by $9,000 or 5.7%, from $158,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $167,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. This increase was due to additional advertising during the period. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in salaries and related expenses of $192,000, or 8.3% as the Bank continued with its cost cutting strategies. Certain positions were eliminated allowing for the hiring of staff in the two new offices with a minimum increase in the overall workforce. Employee benefits were adjusted to be less costly while still offering competitive benefits. In December 2005, the Bank ceased its indirect automobile lending operations due to the current interest rate environment. The loan rates necessary to compete in this market made for marginal profitability. This allowed for less staffing in this area.
Income Taxes. The Company’s income tax (benefit) was $(156,000) and $(13,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased for the three months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same quarter in the prior year as the Company earned non-taxable income from investments and $117,000 non-taxable income form the Bank Owned Life Insurance during the three months ended December 31, 2005.
Commitments, Contingencies and Off-balance Sheet Risk
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk including commitments to extend credit under existing lines of credit and commitments to sell loans. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
Off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit and interest rate risk are summarized as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | December 31, 2005
| | December 31, 2004
|
| | (In thousands) |
Commitments to originate new loans | | $ | 12,156 | | $ | 14,907 |
Unfunded commitments to extend credit under existing equity line and commercial lines of credit | | | 26,935 | | | 22,461 |
Commercial letters of credit | | | 701 | | | 625 |
Commitments to originate new loans or to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Loan commitments generally expire within 30 to 45 days. Most equity line commitments for the unfunded portion of equity lines are for a term of 20 years, and commercial lines of credit are generally renewable on an annual basis. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower.

Regulations require that the Company classify its assets on a regular basis. There are three classifications for problem assets: substandard, doubtful and loss. The Company regularly reviews its assets to determine whether any assets require classification or re-classification. At December 31, 2005, the Company had $1.3 million in classified assets, consisting of $1.2 million in substandard and $0 loss loans, $0 in foreclosed real estate and $108,000 in other repossessed assets. At September 30, 2005, the Company had $1.1 million in substandard and loss loans, consisting of $1.1 million in loans, $0 in foreclosed real estate and $86,000 in other repossessed assets.
In addition to regulatory classifications, the Company also classifies as “special mention” assets that are currently performing in accordance with their contractual terms but may exhibit some form of credit weakness and may become classified or non-performing assets in the future. At December 31, 2005, the Company has identified approximately $6.2 million in assets classified as special mention.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2005, the Bank exceeded all regulatory minimum capital requirements. For information comparing the Bank’s tangible, core and risk-based capital levels to the regulatory requirements, see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits and proceeds from maturing investment securities and mortgage-backed securities and principal and interest payments on loans. While maturities and scheduled amortization of mortgage-backed securities and loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, competition and other factors.
20
The primary investing activities of the Company are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities. During the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had $36.2 million and $41.8 million, respectively, of loan originations. During the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company purchased investment securities in the amounts of $409,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, and mortgage-backed securities in the amounts of $0 and $6.6 million, respectively. The primary financing activity of the Company is the attraction of savings deposits.
The Company has other sources of liquidity if there is a need for funds. The Bank has the ability to obtain advances from the FHLB of Atlanta in the amount of $159.0 million as of December 31, 2005. In addition, securities in an available for sale portfolio provide liquidity and the Company has immediately liquid resources of cash and cash due from banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements if needed.
The Bank is required to maintain adequate levels of liquid assets as defined by OTS regulations. The Bank’s average daily liquidity ratio for the month of December was approximately 44.5%. Management seeks to maintain a relatively high level of liquidity in order to retain flexibility in terms of investment opportunities and deposit pricing. Because liquid assets generally provide for lower rates of return, the Bank’s relatively high liquidity will, to a certain extent, result in lower rates of return on assets.
The Company’s most liquid assets are cash, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold, which are short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company’s operating, financing and investing activities during any given period. At December 31, 2005, cash, interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold were $29.4 million, $830,000 and $456,000, respectively.
The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current commitments. Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature in less than one year at December 31, 2005 totaled $180.9 million. Based on past experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank. The Bank plans on paying competitive rates to retain certificate deposits. Should the Bank experience significant deposit run off the Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its needs as outlined above. The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk made in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments are standby letters of credit, lines of credit and commitments to fund mortgage loans and involve to varying degrees elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial position. The contract amounts of those instruments express the extent of involvement the Company has in this class of financial instruments and represents the Company’s exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by the other party.
The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance-sheet credit risk. At December 31, 2005, the Company had commitments under standby letters of credit, lines of credit and commitments to originate mortgage loans of $701,000, $26.9 million and $12.2 million respectively.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the possible chance of loss from unfavorable changes in market prices and rates. These changes may result in a reduction of current and future period net interest income, which is the favorable spread earned from the excess of interest income on interest-earning assets over interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.
The Company considers interest rate risk to be its most significant market risk, which could potentially have the greatest impact on operating earnings. The structure of the Company’s loan and deposit portfolios is such that a significant change in interest rates may adversely impact net market values and net interest income.
The Company monitors whether material changes in market risk have occurred since September 30, 2005. The Company does not believe that any material changes in market risk exposures occurred since September 30, 2005.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management of the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls
21
and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
