GREENVILLE FEDERAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS EARNINGS FOR THE
FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND DECLARES DIVIDEND
Greenville, Ohio — July 23, 2007 — Greenville Federal Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) (OTCBB: GVFF) today announced the Corporation’s financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Corporation reported net earnings of $206,000, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $126,000, or $0.05, per share for the same quarter in 2006.
The quarter-to-quarter increase in earnings was attributed primarily to a $23,000, or 2.4%, increase in net interest income after provision for losses on loans and a $96,000, or 9.5%, decrease in general, administrative and other expense, which were partially offset by a $31,000, or 55.4%, increase in federal income taxes and an $8,000, or 3.3% decrease in other income.
The decrease in general, administrative and other expense for the quarter was due primarily to a $60,000 decrease in other expense and a $50,000 decrease in employee compensation and benefits. The decrease in other expense was attributed primarily to a $25,000 decrease in professional fees expenses and a $30,000 decrease in stationary, printing and office supplies. The decrease in employee compensation and benefits was attributed primarily to a reduction in staff due to attrition.
Net earnings for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 were $641,000, or $0.29 per diluted share, an increase of $106,000, or 19.8%, compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The increase was attributed primarily to a $200,000, or 5.5%, increase in net interest income after provision for losses on loans, which was partially offset by a $13,000, or 1.6%, decrease in other income, a $36,000, or 1.0%, increase in general, administrative and other expense and a $45,000, or 21.2%, increase in federal income taxes.
The increase in general, administrative and other expense for the fiscal year was due primarily to a $50,000 increase in data processing expense, a $77,000 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, and a $27,000 increase in franchise taxes, all of which were partially offset by a decrease of $41,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, a $39,000 decrease in employee compensation and benefits and a decrease of $30,000 in stationary, printing and office supplies. The decrease in other income was due primarily to the fact that Greenville Federal had a $35,000 gain on redemption of the shares of Intrieve, Inc., Greenville Federal’s data processor, and a $26,000 gain on sale of real estate acquired through foreclosure in fiscal 2006, neither of which were repeated in fiscal 2007, partially offset by a $24,000 increase in customer service charges and a $24,000 increase in other income.
The Corporation reported total assets of $129.7 million at June 30, 2007, total liabilities of $107.0 million, including deposits of $79.6 million, and total shareholders’ equity of $22.7 million. The decline of $1.0 million in total assets was due to the use of proceeds from maturing investments to repay advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Proceeds from maturing investments were also used to fund the increase in loans receivable.
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 August 17, 2007, to stockholders of record as of July 31, 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.
