NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. | Basis of Financial Statements Presentation |
The condensed consolidated financial statements of CFS Bancorp, Inc. (including its consolidated subsidiaries, the Company) as of June 30, 2008 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 are unaudited; however, the financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2008. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The June 30, 2008 condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated statement of condition of the Company as of December 31, 2007 has been derived from the audited consolidated statement of condition as of that date.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, judgments or assumptions that could have a material effect on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. These estimates, judgments and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided. The determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the accounting for income tax expense are highly dependent on management’s estimates, judgments and assumptions where changes in any of those could have a significant impact on the financial statements.
Some items in the prior period financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
2. | Fair Value Measurements – Adoption of SFAS 157 and SFAS 159 |
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) which defines and establishes a framework for measuring fair value, when required or elected, and expands fair value disclosure requirements. At the same time, the Company also adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159) which permits the election of the fair value measurement method for certain financial assets and liabilities.
SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation
techniques, but not the valuation techniques themselves. The fair value hierarchy is designed to indicate the relative reliability of the fair value measure. The highest priority is given to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest to unobservable data such as the Company’s internal information. SFAS 157 defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” There are three levels of inputs into the fair value hierarchy (Level 1 being the highest priority and Level 3 being the lowest priority):
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and
Level 3 – Instruments whose significant value drivers or assumptions are unobservable and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets by level within the fair value hierarchy that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the second quarter of 2008.

Securities available-for-sale | | $ | 261,985 | | | $ | – | | | $ | 261,985 | | | $ | – | |
Securities available-for-sale are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These securities are valued by a third party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry utilizing observable inputs. The pricing provider utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary based on asset class. These models incorporate available market information including quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and, because many fixed-income securities do not trade on a daily basis, apply available information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing. In addition, model processes, such as an option adjusted spread model is used to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios for securities with prepayment features. Changes in the fair market value of the Company’s securities available-for-sale are recorded in other comprehensive income.
The following table sets for the Company’s financial assets by level within the fair value hierarchy that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.

Impaired loans | | $ | 18,032 | | | $ | – | | | $ | – | | | $ | 18,032 | |
Fair value measurements for impaired loans are performed pursuant to SFAS 114 and are measured on a non-recurring basis. Certain impaired loans were partially charged-off or re-evaluated during the second quarter of 2008. These impaired loans were carried at fair value as estimated using current and prior appraisals, discounting factors, the borrowers’ financial results, estimated cash flow generated from the property and other economic factors. The change in fair value of impaired loans that were valued based upon Level 3 inputs was approximately $6.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. This loss is not recorded directly as an adjustment to current earnings or comprehensive income, but rather as an adjustment component in determining the overall adequacy of the allowance for losses on loans. These adjustments to the estimated fair value of impaired loans may result in increases or decreases to the provision for losses on loans recorded in current earnings.
The adoption of SFAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis (the Fair Value Option) at specified election dates. An entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The objective of the statement is to provide entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex accounting provisions. The Company is not currently engaged in any hedging activities and as a result did not elect to measure any financial instruments at fair value under SFAS 159.
Amounts reported in earnings per share reflect earnings available to common shareholders for the period divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, exclusive of unearned ESOP shares and unvested restricted stock shares. Stock options, restricted stock and treasury shares held in Rabbi Trust accounts are regarded as common stock equivalents and are considered in the diluted earnings per share calculations to the extent that they would have a dilutive effect if converted to common stock, computed using the “treasury stock” method.

4. | Share-Based Compensation |
The Company accounts for its stock options in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)). SFAS 123(R) addresses all forms of share-based payment awards, including shares under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to be recognized as expense, based upon their fair values, in the financial statements over the service period of the awards.
For additional details on the Company’s share-based compensation plans and related disclosures, see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
On April 29, 2008, the shareholders of the Company approved at the Annual Meeting the CFS Bancorp, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (Equity Incentive Plan) which had been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 17, 2008. In connection with the approval of the Equity Incentive Plan, the Board of Directors froze the CFS Bancorp, Inc. 2003 Stock Option Plan and the CFS Bancorp, Inc. 1998 Recognition and Retention Plan such that no new awards will be made under either of those plans.
The Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of 270,000 shares of common stock of the Company. In addition, the 32,000 shares that had not yet been issued under the 2003 Stock Option Plan plus any shares subject to outstanding stock options under the 2003 Stock Option Plans that lapse or are unexercised at the end of the option term will be available for any type of stock-based awards in the future under the Equity Incentive Plan. Since January 1, 2008, there were a total of 22,500 stock options
that lapsed under the 2003 Stock Option Plan, and these shares are eligible for awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. No more than 25,000 shares will be available for grant during any fiscal year to any one participant and no more than 120,000 shares in the aggregate will be granted in any single year. At June 30, 2008, 223,366 shares were available for future grants under the Equity Incentive Plan.
Restricted Stock
On May 1, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. A total of 100,134 shares of restricted stock were granted to officers and key employees of the Company. The awards included 65,034 shares of restricted stock as performance-based awards to a total of thirty-six officers and key employees. These awards are subject to the Company’s achievement of its performance targets for the year ended December 31, 2008. The awards also included 35,100 shares of restricted stock as service-based awards to twelve key employees. The Company reissued treasury shares to satisfy the restricted stock awards.
The fair market value of the restricted stock awards was $14.27 per share on the date of grant and totaled $1.4 million. These restricted stock awards vest (and, with respect to performance-based awards, if earned) 33%, 33% and 34% on May 1, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The expense for these awards is being recorded over their requisite service period which is 48 months from the date of grant. The Company estimates the impact of forfeitures based on its historical experience with previously granted restricted stock and will consider the impact of the forfeitures when determining the amount of expense to record for the restricted stock granted. On a quarterly basis, the Company will estimate the probable outcome of achieving its performance target related to the performance-based awards and will revise the related expense accordingly.
The Company also has 105 shares of unvested restricted stock under the 1999 Recognition and Retention Plan. This plan was frozen effective January 1, 2008 and the 1,000 shares available at December 31, 2007 are no longer available for grant. The unvested shares remaining will vest on April 1, 2009. Expense for this plan is being recorded over a 60-month period from the date of grant and is based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock as of that date.
The compensation expense related to restricted stock for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 totaled $21,000 and $12,000, respectively. The compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $32,000 and $24,000, respectively. At June 30, 2008, the remaining unamortized cost of the restricted stock awards is reflected as a reduction in additional paid-in capital and totaled $1.4 million. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.8 years.
The following table presents the activity for restricted stock for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
| | Number of Shares | | | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value | |

Stock Options
The Company has stock option plans under which shares of Company common stock were reserved for the grant of both incentive and non-qualified stock options to directors, officers and employees. These plans were frozen in conjunction with the approval of the Equity Incentive Plan such that no new awards will be made under either of the plans. The dates the stock options are first exercisable and expire are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors at the time of the grant. The exercise price of the stock options is equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. All of the Company’s options were fully vested at September 30, 2005.
The following table presents the activity related to options under the Company’s stock option plans for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The number of shares presented is in thousands.

Options exercisable at June 30, 2008 | | | 1,163 | | | | | |
For stock options outstanding at June 30, 2008, the range of exercise prices was $8.44 to $14.76 and the weighted-average remaining contractual term was 3.6 years.
At June 30, 2008, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding totaled $902,000. This value represents the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last day of trading for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and the exercise price multiplied by the number of in-the-money options assuming all option holders had exercised their stock options on June 30, 2008.
The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $135,000 and $555,000, respectively. The exercise of options during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 resulted in cash receipts of $831,000 and $1.7 million and a tax benefit of $46,000 and $203,000, respectively.
The Company reissues treasury shares to satisfy option exercises.

6. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R established principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations where the acquisition date is on or after fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R is expected to have an impact on the Company’s accounting for any business combinations closing on or after January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not anticipate that SFAS 160 will have an impact on its financial results.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this Form 10-Q, in other filings made by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and in the Company’s press releases or other
stockholder communications are forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in U.S. federal securities laws. Generally, these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings, profitability or other aspects of operating results or other future developments in the Company’s affairs or the industry in which it conducts 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 “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “would be,” “will,” “intends to,” “project” or similar expressions or the negative thereof.
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 also advises readers that various factors, including regional and national economic conditions, changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and other risks which are inherent in the Company’s lending and investment activities, legislative changes, changes in the cost of funds, demand for loan products and financial services, changes in accounting principles and competitive and regulatory factors, could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected. For further discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements see “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q as well as “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
Overview
The Company reported a net loss for the second quarter of 2008 of $2.3 million and a loss per share of $0.22. The financial results for the quarter were negatively impacted by a $7.2 million provision for losses on loans and a $582,000 other-than-temporary impairment charge on its FNMA (Fannie Mae) and FHLMC (Freddie Mac) preferred stock investments. The higher provision and other-than-temporarily-impaired (OTTI) charge reduced net income by $4.9 million and diluted earnings per share by $0.46. Net income for the second quarter of 2007 was $2.3 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.22. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2008 include a net loss of $516,000 and a loss per share of $0.05 compared to net income of $3.6 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.33 for the 2007 period.
The Company’s capital position remains strong and continues to be in excess of the regulatory requirements for risk-based capital and Tier 1 capital of 10% and 5%, respectively. At June 30, 2008, the Bank’s risk-based capital increased to 14.48% from 13.93% at December 31, 2007. Tier 1 capital was 10.32% at June 30, 2008 compared to 10.50% at December 31, 2007. At June 30, 2008, the Company’s risk-based capital was $38.3 million in excess and its Tier 1 capital was $58.4 million in excess of the amounts deemed to be “well-capitalized.”
The Company’s provision for losses on loans increased to $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $126,000 for the 2007 period. The increase reflects deteriorating market conditions and lack of activity in housing and residential land development. Net charge-offs totaled $5.1 million which included partial charge-offs identified as part of the Company’s quarterly review of its allowance for losses on loans. The charge-offs for the second quarter include $2.7 million related to three non-
performing construction and land development loans that previously totaled $13.1 million in the aggregate and $2.4 million related to a non-performing multi-tenant commercial real estate loan that previously totaled $3.1 million. At June 30, 2008, the Company’s allowance for losses on loans to total loans increased to 1.43% from 1.01% at December 31, 2007 and 1.31% at June 30, 2007.
The Company’s net interest margin expanded to 3.26% and 3.24%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 from 3.01% and 2.97% for the comparable 2007 periods. The expansion of the net interest margin was positively impacted by decreases in short-term interest rates which decreased the cost of the Company’s borrowed money and deposits.
Total loans decreased 8.4% to $726.9 million at June 30, 2008 from $793.1 million at December 31, 2007. The Company reduced its exposure to construction and land development loans by $27.0 million or 21.0% and to commercial real estate by $24.4 million or 7.4% since December 31, 2007 in an effort to limit credit risk associated with these types of lending. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company added eight new Business Bankers to accelerate the diversification of the commercial loan portfolio and to increase business deposits. This group has 154 years of combined banking experience in the Company’s existing markets and will focus on building market presence within the Business Banking segment. Since joining the Company, the commercial and industrial loan pipeline has increased to $21.3 million at June 30, 2008.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which require the Company to establish various accounting policies. Certain of these accounting policies require management to make estimates, judgments or assumptions that could have a material effect on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. The estimates, judgments and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience, projected results, internal cash flow modeling techniques and other factors which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for December 31, 2007. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in other financial statement notes and in this management’s discussion and analysis, provide information on the methodology used for the valuation of significant assets and liabilities in the Company’s financial statements. Management views critical accounting policies to be those that are highly dependent on subjective or complex judgments, estimates and assumptions, and where changes in those estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on the financial statements. Management currently views the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the accounting for income taxes to be critical accounting policies.
Allowance for Losses on Loans. The Company maintains an allowance for losses on loans at a level management believes is sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for losses on loans represents management’s estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio at each statement of condition date and is based on the review of available and relevant information.
One component of the allowance for losses on loans contains allocations for probable inherent but undetected losses within various pools of loans with similar characteristics pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. This component is based in part on certain loss factors applied to various loan pools as stratified by the Company. In determining the appropriate loss factors for these loan pools, management considers historical charge-offs and recoveries; levels of and trends in delinquencies, impaired loans and other classified loans; concentrations of credit within the commercial loan portfolios; volume and type of lending; and current and anticipated economic conditions.
The second component of the allowance for losses on loans contains allocations for probable losses that have been identified relating to specific borrowing relationships pursuant to SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. This component consists of expected losses resulting in specific credit allocations for individual loans not considered within the above mentioned loan pools. The analysis of each loan involves a high degree of judgment in estimating the amount of the loss associated with the loan, including the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral values.
Loan losses are charged off against the allowance when the loan balance or a portion of the loan balance is no longer covered by the paying capacity of the borrower based on an evaluation of available cash resources and collateral value, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance. The Company assesses the adequacy of the allowance for losses on loans on a quarterly basis and adjusts the allowance for losses on loans by recording a provision for losses on loans in an amount sufficient to maintain the allowance at a level deemed appropriate by management. The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for losses on loans is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as additional information becomes available or as future events occur. To the extent that actual outcomes differ from management estimates, an additional provision for losses on loans could be required which could adversely affect earnings or the Company’s financial position in future periods. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination processes, periodically review the allowance for losses on loans for the Bank and the carrying value of its other non-performing loans, based on information available to them at the time of their examinations. Any of these agencies could require the Bank to make additional provisions for losses on loans.
Income Tax Accounting. Income tax expense recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of income involves management’s interpretation and application of certain accounting pronouncements and federal and state tax codes. As such, the Company has identified income tax accounting as a critical accounting policy. The Company is subject to examination by various regulatory taxing authorities. There can be no assurance that future events, such as court decisions or positions of federal and state taxing authorities, will not differ from management’s current assessment of tax liabilities, the impact of which could be significant to the consolidated results of operations and reported earnings. Management believes the tax liabilities are adequately and properly recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Analysis of Statements of Income
Net Interest Margin. The Company’s net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased 25 basis points to 3.26% from 3.01% for the comparable 2007 period. The Company’s net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased 27 basis points to 3.24% from 2.97% for the 2007 period. Although the decreases since March 31, 2007 in the prime lending rate have negatively impacted rates earned on interest-earning assets, the Company was able to expand its margin through a decrease in the amount of interest expense related to the amortization of the deferred premium on the early extinguishment of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) debt. In addition, the decreases in short-term interest rates had a favorable impact on the cost of the Company’s interest-bearing deposit accounts and its short-term borrowings for 2008 periods.
Interest Income. The Company’s interest income decreased to $15.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $18.5 million for the 2007 period. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company’s interest income decreased to $31.3 million from $37.1 million for the 2007 period. The weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 80 and 55 basis points to 5.64% and 5.88%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 when compared to the 2007 periods. The decreases were primarily a result of the impact of prime lending rate cuts on adjustable-rate assets combined with decreases in the average balances of interest-earning assets. Interest-earning assets decreased during the 2008 periods as a result of (i) the Company utilizing proceeds from security sales and maturities and other interest-earning assets to fund the repayment of maturing FHLB debt and Company stock repurchases and (ii) the managed run-off of single-service, high-rate certificates and a
decrease in the balance of savings accounts as depositors sought higher yields in alternative investment products.
Interest Expense. The Company’s total interest expense decreased to $6.3 million and $14.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 from $9.8 million and $20.0 million, respectively, for the 2007 periods. The decreases for the 2008 periods were primarily related to decreases in the average balances of interest-bearing liabilities and in the Company’s cost of funds.
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits was $4.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 92 basis points and 63 basis points, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 from the comparable 2007 periods due to the decrease in the federal funds interest rate coupled with decreases of 3.3% and 4.6%, respectively, in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to decreases in the average balance of certificates of deposit.
The Company’s cost of borrowings decreased to 4.88% and 5.07%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 from 6.73% and 6.72% for the 2007 periods. The decreases were primarily the result of decreases in the amortization of the deferred premium on the Company’s early extinguishment of FHLB debt (Premium Amortization) that is included in the Company’s total interest expense on borrowings and lower average balances of FHLB debt. The Premium Amortization adversely impacted the Company’s net interest margin by 17 basis points and 44 basis points, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Premium Amortization adversely impacted net interest margin by 18 and 43 basis points, respectively. The Company’s interest expense on borrowings is detailed in the tables below for the periods indicated.

The interest expense related to the premium amortization on the early extinguishment of debt continues to have a smaller impact on the Company’s weighted-average cost of interest-bearing liabilities and is expected to be $270,000, $206,000, $72,000 and $61,000 before taxes in the quarters ending September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively.
Provision for losses on loans. The Company’s provision for losses on loans was $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $126,000 for the 2007 period. The Company’s provision for losses on loans was $7.9 million compared to $313,000, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

The Company’s service charges and other fees decreased during the 2008 periods from the comparable 2007 periods due to a reduced volume of overdrafts. Card-based fees increased during the 2008 periods due to increases of 6.6% and 7.2%, respectively, in the number of ATM and debit card transactions from the 2007 periods. Commission income from the Company’s third-party service provider for the sale of investment products increased due to increased sales volumes of non-deposit products. Other income decreased during the 2008 periods primarily due to the absence of gains on the sales of single-family mortgage loans to the secondary market because the Company began retaining single-family mortgage loans in its loan portfolio during 2008.

Compensation and mandatory benefits expense decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as a result of the reduction in the Company’s full-time-equivalent employees from 360 at December 31, 2006 to 307 at June 30, 2008 and the absence of non-recurring separation costs of $280,000 from the first quarter of 2007. Retirement and stock related compensation decreased during the 2008 periods primarily as a result of the decrease in the Company’s stock price to $11.79 at June 30, 2008 from $14.37 at March 31, 2008 and the revaluation at the last day of the quarter of 129,032 shares of the Company’s common stock held in Rabbi Trust deferred compensation plans. The deferred compensation liability under these plans is adjusted with a corresponding charge (or credit) to compensation expense to reflect the changes in the fair value of the amount owed to the employees. Data processing charges decreased during both 2008 periods. The Company renegotiated its core processing agreement which reduces base processing expenses approximately 22%. Professional fees decreased during the 2008 periods due to the absence of the consulting fees associated with the 2007 implementation of the Company’s customer-centric relationship management program and 2007 legal expenses relating to the Bank’s benefits plan, the reduction in its workforce and new SEC proxy disclosure requirements.
The Company’s efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2008 was relatively stable at 72.2% compared to 71.2% for the second quarter of 2007 as lower non-interest expense was partially offset by lower net interest income plus non-interest income. The Company’s core efficiency ratio was 65.8% for the second quarter of 2008 compared to 64.0% for the 2007 period. The core efficiency ratio was adversely impacted by lower net interest income after adjusting for the amortization of the deferred premium on the early extinguishment of debt when compared to the second quarter of 2007. The Company’s efficiency ratio and core efficiency ratios for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were 72.4% and 67.7%, respectively, compared to 77.2% and 69.2% for the 2007 periods. The ratios for the six month period were positively impacted by lower non-interest expense. The Company’s efficiency and core efficiency ratios for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are presented in the following table:

Management has historically used an efficiency ratio that is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating expense control and operating efficiency. The efficiency ratio is typically defined as the ratio
of non-interest expense to the sum of non-interest income and net interest income before the provision for losses on loans. Many financial institutions, in calculating the efficiency ratio, adjust non-interest income (as calculated under GAAP) to exclude certain component elements, such as gains or losses on sales of securities and assets. Management follows this practice to calculate its core efficiency ratio and utilizes this non-GAAP measure in its analysis of the Company’s performance. The core efficiency ratio is different from the GAAP-based efficiency ratio. The GAAP-based measure is calculated using non-interest expense, net interest income before the provision for losses on loans and non-interest income as presented on the consolidated statements of income.
The Company’s core efficiency ratio is calculated as non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income before the provision for losses on loans, excluding the Premium Amortization, and non-interest income, adjusted for gains or losses on the sale of securities and other assets and other-than-temporary impairments. Management believes that the core efficiency ratio enhances investors’ understanding of its business and performance. The measure is also believed to be useful in understanding the Company’s performance trends and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Management further believes the presentation of the core efficiency ratio provides useful supplemental information, a clearer understanding of the Company’s financial performance, and better reflects the Company’s core operating activities.
The risks associated with utilizing operating measures (such as the efficiency ratio) are that various persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included or excluded in these measures and that other companies might calculate these measures differently. Management of the Company compensates for these limitations by providing detailed reconciliations between GAAP information and its core efficiency ratio above.
Income Tax Expense. The Company recognized an income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2008 totaling $1.9 million compared to income tax expense of $855,000 for the 2007 period. The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $1.4 million compared to income tax expense of $1.2 million for the comparable 2007 period. The decrease in tax expense was primarily due to the Company’s pre-tax losses for the 2008 periods when compared to 2007.
Changes in Financial Condition
Securities. The Company adjusts the size and composition of its securities portfolio based on a number of dynamic factors. These factors include expected loan and deposit growth, liquidity and pledging requirements, general economic conditions, the interest rate environment, spread relationships and the level of interest rate risk embedded in the Company’s balance sheet.
At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had held-to-maturity securities with an amortized cost of $3.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively, invested in state and municipal securities. The securities had $51,000 and $38,000, respectively, in gross unrecognized holding gains at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

As a result of opportunities created during 2008 by market imbalances associated with fears surrounding securities with mortgage related collateral or tied to the mortgage industry, the Company purchased over $6.1 million of agency issued collateralized mortgage obligations; $19.2 million of AAA-rated senior tranches of collateralized mortgage obligations; and $30.4 million of seasoned, senior, AAA-rated commercial mortgage-backed securities. The Company also purchased $6.9 million of agency issued mortgage-backed securities and $21.1 million in deeply discounted, AAA-rated, super-senior trust preferred security pools during 2008. The collateralized mortgage obligation portfolio is comprised of AAA-rated securities mainly backed by conventional residential mortgages, with 15-year, fixed-rate loans originated prior to 2005, low historical delinquencies, weighted-average credit scores in excess of 725 and loan-to-values under 50%.
The Company evaluates all securities on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic conditions warrant additional evaluations, to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) exists pursuant to guidelines established in FSP 115-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments. In evaluating the possible impairment of securities, consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than book value, the financial conditions and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the ability and intent of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies or government sponsored agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition. If management determines that an investment experienced an OTTI, the loss is recognized in the income statement as a realized loss. Any recoveries related to the value of these securities are recorded as an unrealized gain (as other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity) and not recognized in income until the security is ultimately sold.
During the second quarter of 2008, the market for preferred stock issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac weakened. As these mortgage-related corporations raise capital, the value of existing preferred shares is negatively affected. As such, management determined that the unrealized losses related to the Company’s investment in agency preferred stocks were other than temporary and recorded an OTTI charge of $582,000. After the impairment charge, the book value of the Company’s investment in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stocks was $3.8 million at June 30, 2008. The quoted market prices for these preferred stocks have been volatile in recent months on generally low trading volumes. In addition, uncertainties continue to exist with respect to the financial condition of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and these uncertainties and general market and economic conditions have resulted in further material declines in the quoted market prices for these preferred stocks since June 30, 2008. These and other factors make it possible that these securities could require the recording of further other-than-temporary impairment losses in one or more future reporting periods. For further information see “Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q.
At June 30, 2008, the remainder of the Company’s securities available-for-sale with an unrealized loss position were, in management’s belief, primarily due to differences in market interest rates as compared to those of the underlying securities. Management does not believe any of these securities are other-than-temporarily impaired. At June 30, 2008, the Company has both the intent and ability to hold these impaired securities for a period of time necessary to recover the unrealized losses; however, the Company may from time to time dispose of an impaired security in response to asset/liability management decisions, future market movements, business plan changes, or if the net proceeds could be reinvested at a rate of return that is expected to recover the loss within a reasonable period of time.

At June 30, 2008, the Company’s net loan portfolio included $181.2 million of variable-rate loans indexed to the prime lending rate as listed in the Wall Street Journal and another $277.2 million of variable-rate loans tied to other indices.
The Company’s total loans decreased $66.3 million, or 8.4%, to $726.9 million at June 30, 2008 from $793.1 million at December 31, 2007. The Company continues to reduce its exposure in the non-owner occupied commercial real estate and construction and land development segments of its portfolio as it shifts its emphasis to commercial and industrial loans. The commercial and construction loan portfolio decreased $58.3 million, or 11.3%, primarily as a result of loan repayments totaling $147.0 million and $5.6 million of charge-offs partially offset by loan fundings and purchases totaling $96.2 million. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company added eight new Business Bankers to increase the diversification of the loan portfolio. At June 30, 2008, the Company has approximately $40.0 million in the approved not yet closed loan pipeline, of which, over $21.0 million are commercial and industrial loans.
The Bank has also invested, on a participating basis, in loans originated by other lenders and loan syndications. The Bank has historically invested in these types of loans to supplement the direct origination of its commercial and construction loan portfolio. Based on the Bank���s recent experience with marginal pricing, increased credit risk and decreasing collateral values in this segment, it is reducing its reliance on these types of loans and has not been involved in purchasing any new originations during 2008. The Company had participations and syndication loans outstanding at June 30, 2008 totaling $45.0 million in construction and land development loans and $36.0 million in loans secured by commercial real estate. The Bank’s total participations and syndications by state are presented in the table below for the dates indicated.

Allowance for Losses on Loans. The Company maintains the allowance for losses on loans at a level that management believes is sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for losses on loans represents management’s estimate of inherent losses existing in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at each balance sheet date and is based on its review of available and relevant information. While management believes that at June 30, 2008 the allowance for losses on loans was adequate, it is possible that further devaluations of collateral, further
deterioration in the Company’s loan portfolio or requirements from regulatory agencies may require future provisions to keep the allowance at an adequate level.
The following is a summary of changes in the allowance for losses on loans for the periods presented:

Allowance for losses on loans to total loans | | | 1.43 | % | | | 1.01 | % | | | 1.31 | % |
Allowance for losses on loans to non-performing loans | | | 30.01 | | | | 27.11 | | | | 36.42 | |
The Company’s allowance for losses on loans was $10.4 million at June 30, 2008, $8.0 million at December 31, 2007 and $10.6 million at June 30, 2007. The allowance for losses on loans to total loans increased to 1.43% at June 30, 2008 from 1.01% and 1.31%, respectively, at December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007. The increased provision primarily reflects deteriorating market conditions and lack of activity in residential housing and land development. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2008 totaled $5.1 million which included partial charge-offs of $2.7 million related to three construction and land development loans that previously totaled $13.1 million in the aggregate and $2.4 million on a multi-tenant commercial real estate loan that previously totaled $3.1 million. The decrease in the allowance from June 30, 2007 related to the charge-off of $4.0 million of impairment reserves related to $12.8 million of loans sold during the fourth quarter 2007 which was partially offset by the increase in the provision during the second quarter of 2008.
The following table identifies the Company’s impaired loans and non-accrual loans as of the dates presented. See the “Non-performing Assets” section in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the detailed classification of the Company’s total non-accrual loans. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company identified as impaired three construction and land development loans totaling $9.9 million, one of which required an impairment reserve of $1.6 million. Also during the second quarter of 2008, the Company recorded partial charge-offs totaling $5.1 million on $16.2 million of identified impaired loans.

The Company’s non-performing loans increased $5.1 million to $34.7 million from December 31, 2007 primarily as a result of a $7.4 million increase in non-performing construction and land development loans due to the transfer of three large loans totaling $9.9 million to non-accrual status during the second quarter of 2008 in addition to the transfer in the first quarter of 2008 of a $767,000 loan to non-accrual status. Partially offsetting this increase is the partial charge-off of three non-performing construction and land development loans totaling $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2008 coupled with a partial charge-off of a non-performing construction and land development loan totaling
$102,000 in the first quarter of 2008. Non-performing commercial real estate loans decreased by $2.1 million from December 31, 2007 primarily as a result of a $2.4 million partial charge-off of one non-performing loan during the second quarter of 2008. There were no other significant changes to the Company’s non-performing assets.
The table below provides the detail for the Company’s non-accrual syndications and purchased participations by state as of the dates indicated. All of these non-accrual loans are construction and land development loans.

Potential Problem Assets. The Company’s potential problem assets, defined as loans classified substandard, doubtful, or loss pursuant to the Company’s internal loan grading system that do not meet the definition of a non-performing loan, totaled $12.3 million at June 30, 2008 and $4.4 million at December 31, 2007. The increase from December 31, 2007 was a result of management downgrading one land acquisition loan totaling $4.9 million and one construction and land development loan totaling $2.8 million to substandard during the second quarter of 2008 due to concerns over the borrowers’ ability to fund the underlying project as originally intended.
Deposits and Borrowed Money. The following table sets forth the dollar amount of deposits and the percentage of total deposits in each category offered by the Bank at the dates indicated:

The Company’s total deposits decreased 1.7% to $848.4 million at June 30, 2008 from $863.3 million at December 31, 2007. Total core deposits increased $10.0 million from December 31, 2007 as a result of a $19.8 million increase in money market accounts which was offset by a $24.9 million decrease in certificates of deposit. The increase in money market accounts is reflective of lower interest rates paid on certificate of deposit accounts, volatility in the stock market and current economic conditions which have caused depositors to opt for holding more balances in these types of liquid accounts.
The Company offers specific deposit agreements to local municipalities and other public entities. The following table identifies the dollar amount of municipal deposits in each deposit category for the dates indicated.

In addition, the Company offers a repurchase sweep agreement (Repo Sweep) account which allows public entities and other business depositors to earn interest with respect to checking and savings deposit products offered. The depositor’s excess funds are swept from a deposit account and are used to purchase an interest in a pool of multiple securities owned by the Bank. The swept funds are not recorded as deposits by the Bank and instead are classified as other short-term borrowings which provide a lower-cost funding alternative for the Company as compared to FHLB advances. At June 30, 2008, the Company had $24.0 million in Repo Sweeps of which $15.5 million were with municipalities and other public entities. The Repo Sweeps are included in the below table and are treated as financings, and the obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as short-term borrowings. The securities underlying these Repo Sweeps continue to be reflected as assets of the Company.

Early in the first quarter of 2008, the Company took advantage of a steepening yield curve and market imbalances by borrowing $45.0 million of FHLB debt and investing in higher yielding securities. Subsequently, the Company has repaid $70.0 million of FHLB debt maturing during 2008 by utilizing its excess liquidity.
At June 30, 2008, the Bank had a line of credit with a maximum of $15.0 million in unsecured overnight federal funds at the federal funds market rate at the time of any borrowing. At June 30, 2008, the Bank borrowed $1.75 million on this line at 2.85%. During the second quarter of 2008, this line was used for liquidity purposes. The maximum amount borrowed pursuant to this line was $3.1 million and the weighted-average rate paid during the quarter was 2.59%.
At June 30, 2008, the Company also had a $5.0 million revolving line of credit. Each borrowing under the line of credit carries an interest rate of either the Prime Rate minus 75 basis points or the three month London Interbank Offered Rate, at the Company’s option. The line of credit was obtained by the Company and is secured by all of the stock of the Bank held by the Company. The Company has not borrowed any funds under this line of credit. The line of credit matures on March 21, 2009.
Capital Resources. The Company’s stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2008 was $124.8 million compared to $130.4 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to:
| • | repurchases of shares of the Company’s common stock during 2008 totaling $3.0 million; |
| • | cash dividends declared during 2008 totaling $2.5 million; |
| • | a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $803,000; and |
| • | a net loss of $516,000. |
During the first six months of 2008, the Company repurchased 208,113 shares of its common stock at an average price of $14.40 per share, of which 81,388 were purchased pursuant to the repurchase plan approved in March 2008. At June 30, 2008, the Company had 448,612 shares remaining to be repurchased under this plan. Since its initial public offering, the Company has repurchased an aggregate of 14,054,160 shares of its common stock at an average price of $12.23 per share. For additional information, see “Part II. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.”
At June 30, 2008, the Bank was deemed to be “well-capitalized” and in excess of regulatory requirements set by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). The current requirements and the Bank's actual levels at June 30, 2008 and at December 31, 2007 are provided below:

Liquidity and Commitments
The Company’s liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of operating, investing and financing activities. The Company’s primary sources of funds have been:
| • | deposits and Repo Sweeps; |
| • | scheduled payments of amortizing loans and mortgage-backed securities; |
| • | prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed securities; |
| • | maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments; |
| • | funds provided from operations; and |
| • | borrowings from the FHLB. |
Scheduled payments from the amortization of loans, mortgage-backed securities, maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, while
deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions and competitive rate offerings.
The Company classifies the majority of its securities as available-for-sale to maintain significant liquidity. The securities portfolio, federal funds sold and cash and cash equivalents serve as primary sources of liquidity for the Bank. At June 30, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $20.8 million which decreased from $38.9 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease was mainly the result of:
| • | purchases of available-for-sale securities totaling $84.3 million; |
| • | net repayment of FHLB debt totaling $25.1 million; and |
| • | decreases in the balance of deposit accounts totaling $14.9 million. |
The above cash outflows were partially offset by proceeds from net repayments of loans totaling $60.8 million and sales, maturities and paydowns of securities aggregating $44.2 million.
The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments, fund loan commitments, fund maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals, and maintain a securities portfolio. The Company anticipates that it will continue to have sufficient funds to meet its current commitments. At June 30, 2008, the Company had a short-term line of credit available from a correspondent bank totaling $15.0 million and additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB of $312.4 million, of which $81.1 million was available based on current collateral pledged, for a total available of $231.3 million.
The liquidity needs of the parent company, CFS Bancorp, Inc., consist primarily of operating expenses, dividend payments to stockholders and stock repurchases. The primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and dividends from the Bank. CFS Bancorp, Inc. also has $5.0 million of available liquidity under a line of credit. Under OTS regulations, without prior approval, the dividends from the Bank are limited to the extent of the Bank’s cumulative earnings for the year plus the net earnings (adjusted by prior distributions) of the prior two calendar years. On a parent company-only basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company received $7.8 million in dividends from the Bank. At June 30, 2008, the parent company had $6.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $130,000 in securities available-for-sale.
Contractual Obligations. The following table presents significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations to third parties by payment date as of June 30, 2008:

(2) | Does not include interest expense at the weighted-average contractual rate of 1.68% for the periods presented. |
See the “Deposits and Borrowed Money” section for further discussion surrounding the Company’s FHLB advances. The Company’s operating lease obligations reflected above include the future minimum rental payments, by year, required under the lease terms for premises and equipment. Many of these leases contain renewal options, and certain leases provide options to purchase the leased property during or at the expiration of the lease period at specific prices.
The Company also has commitments to fund certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature within one year or less. These deposits total $323.7 million at June 30, 2008. Based on historical experience and the fact that these deposits are at current market rates, management believes that a significant portion of the maturing deposits will remain with the Bank.
Off-Balance Sheet Obligations. The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of condition. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the third party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
The following table details the amounts and expected maturities of significant commitments at June 30, 2008:

| | $ | 97,602 | | | $ | 48,191 | | | $ | 2,252 | | | $ | 51,202 | | | $ | 199,247 | |
The commitments listed above do not necessarily represent future cash requirements, in that these commitments often expire without being drawn upon. All commitments to extend credit or to purchase loans expire within the following year. Letters of credit expire at various times through 2018. Credit enhancements expire at various times through 2014.
The Company also has commitments to fund community investments through investments in various limited partnerships, which represent future cash outlays for the construction and development of properties for low-income housing, small business real estate, and historic tax credit projects that qualify under the Community Reinvestment Act. These commitments include $793,000 to be funded over six years. The timing and amounts of these commitments are projected based upon the financing arrangements provided in each project’s partnership agreement, and could change due to variances in the construction schedule, project revisions, or the cancellation of the project. These commitments are not included in the commitment table above.
Credit enhancements are related to the issuance by municipalities of taxable and nontaxable revenue bonds. The proceeds from the sale of such bonds are loaned to for-profit and not-for-profit companies for economic development projects. In order for the bonds to receive a triple-A rating, which provides for a lower interest rate, the FHLB issues, in favor of the bond trustee, an Irrevocable Direct Pay Letter of Credit (IDPLOC) for the account of the Bank. Since the Bank, in accordance with the terms and conditions of a Reimbursement Agreement between the FHLB and the Bank, would be required to reimburse the FHLB for draws against the IDPLOC, these facilities are analyzed, appraised, secured by real estate mortgages, and monitored as if the Bank had funded the project initially.
The Bank, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk (IRR). This risk relates to changes in market interest rates which could adversely affect net interest income or the net portfolio value (NPV) of its assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. IRR is primarily the result of
imbalances between the price sensitivity of the Bank’s assets and its liabilities. These imbalances can be caused by differences in the maturity, repricing and coupon characteristics of various assets and liabilities as well as options (such as loan prepayment options).
The Bank maintains a written Asset/Liability Management Policy that establishes written guidelines for the asset/liability management function, including the management of net interest margin, IRR and liquidity. The Asset/Liability Management Policy falls under the authority of the Company’s Board of Directors who in turn assigns its formulation, revision and administration to the Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO). ALCO meets monthly and consists of certain senior officers of the Bank and one outside director. The results of the monthly meetings are reported to the Company’s Board of Directors. The primary duties of ALCO are to develop reports and establish procedures to measure and monitor IRR, verify compliance with Board approved IRR tolerance limits, take appropriate actions to mitigate those risks, monitor and discuss the status and results of implemented strategies and tactics, monitor the Bank’s capital position, review the current and prospective liquidity positions and monitor alternative funding sources. The policy requires management to measure the Bank’s overall IRR exposure using NPV analysis and earnings-at-risk analysis.
NPV is defined as the net present value of the Bank’s existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. NPV analysis measures the sensitivity of the Bank’s NPV under current interest rates and for a range of hypothetical interest rate scenarios. The hypothetical scenarios are represented by immediate, permanent, parallel movements in interest rates of plus 100, 200 and 300 basis points and minus 100 and 200 basis points. This rate-shock approach is designed primarily to show the ability of the balance sheet to absorb rate shocks on a “theoretical liquidation value” basis. The analysis does not take into account non-rate related issues, which affect equity valuations, such as franchise value or real estate values. This analysis is static and does not consider potential adjustments of strategies by management on a dynamic basis in a volatile rate environment in order to protect or conserve equity values. As such, actual results may vary from the modeled results.
The following table presents, as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, an analysis of the Bank’s IRR as measured by changes in NPV for immediate, permanent, and parallel shifts in the yield curve in 100 basis point increments up to 300 basis points and down 100 basis points in accordance with OTS regulations. Information as of June 30, 2008 was not available prior to the filing of this Form 10-Q.

Earnings-at-risk analysis measures the sensitivity of net interest income over a twelve month period to various interest rate movements. The interest rate scenarios are used for analytical purposes
and do not necessarily represent management’s view of future market movements. Rather, these scenarios are intended to provide a measure of the degree of volatility interest rate movements may introduce into the Bank’s earnings.
A key assumption which is controlled by the Bank for use in its earnings-at-risk analysis is the assumed repricing sensitivity of its non-maturing core deposit accounts. The following assumptions were used by the Bank for the repricing of non-maturity core deposit accounts.

The earnings-at-risk analysis suggests the Bank is subject to higher IRR in a falling rate environment than in a rising rate environment. The table above indicates that if interest rates were to move up 300 basis points, net interest income would be expected to decrease 1.0% in year one; and if interest rates were to move down 200 basis points, net interest income would be expected to decrease 2.6% in year one. The primary causes for the changes in net interest income over the twelve month period were a result of the changes in the composition of the Bank’s assets and liabilities along with changes in interest rates.
The Bank manages its IRR position by holding assets on the statement of condition with desired IRR characteristics, implementing certain pricing strategies for loans and deposits and implementing various securities portfolio strategies. The Bank currently plans on continuing to reduce its exposure to falling interest rates by lengthening the duration of its securities portfolio, increasing its core deposit balances and replacing fixed-rate borrowings with variable-rate borrowings. On a quarterly basis, the ALCO reviews the calculations of all IRR measures for compliance with the Board approved tolerance limits. At June 30, 2008, the Bank was in compliance with all of its tolerance limits.
The above IRR analyses include the assets and liabilities of the Bank only. Inclusion of Company-only assets and liabilities would not have a material impact on the results presented.
No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and are operating in an effective manner.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
The Company is involved in routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of its business, which, in the aggregate, are believed to be immaterial to the financial condition of the Company.
The following risk factors represent changes and additions to, and should be read in conjunction with “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
The continuation of adverse market conditions in the U.S. economy and the markets in which we operate could adversely impact us.
A continued deterioration of overall market conditions, a continued economic downturn or prolonged economic stagnation in our markets or adverse changes in laws and regulations that impact the banking industry may have a negative impact on our business. If the strength of the U.S. economy in general and the strength of the economy in areas where we lend (or previously provided real estate financing) continues to decline, this could result in, among other things, a further deterioration in credit quality or a continued reduced demand for credit, including a resultant adverse effect on our loan portfolio and allowance for losses on loans. Negative conditions in the real estate markets where we operate could adversely affect our borrowers’ ability to repay their loans and the value of the underlying collateral. Real estate values are affected by various factors, including general economic conditions, governmental rules or policies and natural disasters. These factors may adversely impact our borrowers’ ability to make required payments, which in turn, may negatively impact our financial results.
Current and further deterioration in the housing market could cause further increases in delinquencies and non-performing assets, including loan charge-offs, and depress our income and growth.
The volume of our one-to-four family residential mortgages and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) may decrease during economic downturns as a result of, among other things, a decrease in real estate values, an increase in unemployment, a slowdown in housing price appreciation or increases in interest rates. These factors could reduce our earnings and consequently our financial condition because:
• the borrowers may not be able to repay their loans;
• the value of the collateral securing our loans to borrowers may decline further;
• the quality of our loan portfolio may decline further; and
• customers may not want or need our products and services.
Any of these scenarios could cause an increase in delinquencies and non-performing assets or require us to charge-off a higher percentage of our loans and/or increase substantially our provision for losses on loans, which would reduce income.
We could record future losses on our holdings of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stock.
We own shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stocks with an adjusted cost basis of $3.8 million and a fair market value of $3.7 million at June 30, 2008, based on quoted market prices for these securities. The quoted market prices for these securities have been very volatile in recent months on generally low trading volumes. The adjusted cost basis takes into account the pre-tax impairment losses that we recorded at June 30, 2008 of $582,000 as an other-than-temporary impairment as well as prior impairments recorded in 2005. A number of factors or combinations of factors could cause us to conclude, in one or more future reporting periods, that an unrealized loss that exists with respect to these securities constitutes an additional impairment that is other than temporary. These factors include, but are not limited to, an increase in the severity of the unrealized loss on a particular security, an increase in the continuous duration of the unrealized loss without an improvement in value, a change in our intent or ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the forecasted recovery, or changes in market conditions and/or industry or issuer specific factors that would render us unable to forecast a full recovery in value, including adverse developments concerning Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. In addition, the fair value that we have recorded for these securities, which is based on quoted market prices, may be different from the actual price for which we could sell the securities in a market transaction due to such factors as, volatility or illiquidity in the financial markets or for these securities, or the possibility of block discounts.
