GREENVILLE FEDERAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS EARNINGS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 AND DECLARES DIVIDEND
Greenville, Ohio — April 19, 2007 — Greenville Federal Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) (OTCBB: GVFF) today announced the Corporation’s financial results for the third fiscal quarter. For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Corporation reported net earnings of $146,000, or $0.07 per share, compared to net earnings of $119,000, or $0.05, per share for the same quarter in 2006.
The quarter-to-quarter increase in earnings was attributed primarily to a $26,000, or 2.7%, increase in net interest income after provision for losses on loans and an $11,000, or 6.1% increase in other income, which were partially offset by a $9,000, or 18.4%, increase in federal income taxes.
Net earnings for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 were $435,000, or $0.20 per share, an increase of $26,000, or 6.4%, compared to the nine-month period ended March 31, 2006. The increase was attributed primarily to a $177,000, or 6.5% increase in net interest income after provision for losses on loans, which was partially offset by a $5,000 decrease in other income, a $132,000, or 4.8%, increase in general, administrative and other expense and a $14,000, or 9.0%, increase in federal income taxes.
The increase in general, administrative and other expense was due primarily to a $112,000 increase in professional fees expense, mostly related to the Corporation’s public company reporting requirements and the adoption of the Corporation’s 2006 Equity Plan, a $34,000 increase in data processing expense, a $19,000 increase in franchise taxes and an $11,000 increase in compensation expense, due primarily to the implementation of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, all of which were partially offset by a decrease of $33,000 in occupancy and equipment expense. The decrease in other income was due primarily to the fact that Greenville Federal had a $16,000 gain on redemption of the shares of Intrieve, Inc., Greenville Federal’s data processor, and an $11,000 gain on sale of real estate acquired through foreclosure in 2006, neither of which were repeated in 2007.
The Corporation reported total assets of $129.0 million at March 31, 2007, total liabilities of $106.3 million, including deposits of $79.7 million, and total shareholders’ equity of $22.7 million.
The Corporation also announced that the Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.07 per share of the Corporation’s common stock. The dividend is to be paid on May 18, 2007, to stockholders of record as of April 30, 2007.
Greenville Federal Financial Corporation is the holding company for Greenville Federal, a federally chartered savings bank headquartered in Greenville, Ohio. Greenville Federal attracts deposits from, and makes loans in, the Ohio counties of Darke, Preble, Auglaize, Miami, Shelby and Mercer and the Indiana counties of Randolph and Wayne.
