NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the balance sheet, statements of operations and statements of cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. These adjustments are all of a normal recurring nature except for the other-than-temporary impairment on securities discussed in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2008 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. The consolidated statements of operations for periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. For items for which the fair value option has been elected, unrealized gains and losses are to be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs, may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, and applies only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. This Statement provides an opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting. Statement No. 159 is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2008. The adoption of the Statement has not had a material impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement amends and expands the disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities. The FASB issued this Statement to address concerns that the existing disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and related hedged items do not provide adequate information on the effect that derivative activities have on an entity’s overall consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Specific disclosure requirements are outlined in the Statement. Statement No. 161 is effective for the Company beginning November 15, 2008. The adoption of this Statement has not had a material impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(revised) retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for business combinations, but broadens the scope of Statement 141 and contains improvements to the application of this method. The Statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. Costs incurred to effect the acquisition are to be recognized separately from the acquisition. Assets and liabilities arising from contractual contingencies must be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. Contingent consideration must also be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. SFAS No. 141 (revised) applies to business combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.
Earnings per share (EPS) are presented based upon the outstanding shares of Osage Bancshares, Inc.
The Company continued to buy shares under its third announced buyback plan during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 totaling 275,500 shares. The effect of these buybacks is reflected both in the common and common diluted shares outstanding for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 below.
EPS were computed as follows for the three and six months ended December 31:
| | Three months ended | | Six months ended | |
| | December 31, | | December 31, | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 | | 2008 | | 2007 | |

Average common diluted shares outstanding | | | 2,606,784 | | | 3,336,678 | | | 2,719,737 | | | 3,331,718 | |

Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share | | $ | (0.35 | ) | $ | 0.09 | | $ | (0.64 | ) | $ | 0.18 | |
For the three months and six months ended December 31, 2008, the effects of 329,004 and 325,936 stock options, respectively, and 69,749 restricted stock shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, because their effects would be antidilutive. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2007, the effects of 177,000 stock options and 96,622 restricted stock shares, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, because their effects would be antidilutive.

5. | CASH DIVIDENDS PAID PER SHARE |
For the three months ended December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008, cash dividends paid per share represent the cash dividends paid on 2,839,577 and 3,159,105 shares, respectively, of Osage Bancshares, Inc. stock. The Company acquired 77,040 shares purchased in the open market early in the first quarter on which dividends were not paid. The Company acquired an additional 319,528 shares purchased in the open market in the first quarter and early in the second quarter on which dividends were not paid. For the three months and six months ended December 31, 2007,cash dividends paid per share represent the cash dividends paid on 3,603,590 shares of Osage Bancshares, Inc. stock. Dividends that will be paid in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 will be further reduced to reflect the repurchase of 9,100 shares under the partially completed 10% buyback plan.
Effective July 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 has been applied prospectively as of the beginning of this fiscal year. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have an impact on our financial statements except for the expanded disclosures noted below.
The following definitions describe the fair value hierarchy of levels of inputs used in the Fair Value Measurements.
| • | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1): Inputs that are quoted unadjusted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
| • | Other observable inputs (Level 2): Inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity including quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices for securities in inactive markets and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| • | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): Inputs that reflect assumptions of a source independent of the reporting entity or the reporting entity’s own assumptions that are supported by little or no market activity or observable inputs. |
Financial instruments are broken down as follows by recurring or nonrecurring measurement status. Recurring assets are initially measured at fair value and are required to be remeasured at fair value in the financial statements at each reporting date. Assets measured on a nonrecurring basis are assets that, due to an event or circumstance, were required to be remeasured at fair value after initial recognition in the financial statements at some time during the reporting period.
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2008:
Securities Available for Sale. Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, benchmark yields, market spreads, live trading levels, and market consensus prepayment speeds, among other things.

Total available for sale securities | | $ | 17,052,747 | | | | — | | | | $ | 17,052,747 | | | | — | |
Loans. The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral dependent loans are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on the observable market price or current appraised value of the underlying collateral.
Loans Held for Sale. Mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value. The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. As such, the Company classifies mortgage loans held for sale as Nonrecurring Level 2. Write-downs to fair value typically do not occur as the company generally enters into commitments to sell individual mortgage loans at the time the loan is originated to reduce market risk. The Company typically does not have commercial loans held for sale. There were no mortgage loans held for sale at December 31, 2008.
Impaired Loans. Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using third
party appraisals or internally developed appraisals or discounted cash flow analysis. The Company records impaired loans as Nonrecurring Level 3. If a loan’s fair value as estimated by the Company is less than its carrying value, the Company either records a charge-off of the portion of the loan that exceeds the fair value or establishes a specific reserve as part of the allowance for loan losses. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 114, impaired loans with a carrying value and fair value of $308,000 are included in the financial statements at December 31, 2008.
| 7. | CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE |
In September 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF on Issue No. 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. EITF 06-4 requires the recognition of a liability and related compensation costs for endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods as defined in SFAS No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. The EITF reached a consensus that bank owned life insurance policies purchased for this purpose do not effectively settle the entity’s obligation to the employee in this regard and thus the entity must record compensation cost and the related liability. Entities should recognize the effects of applying this Issue through either (a) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings or to other components of equity or net assets in the balance sheet as of the beginning of the year of adoption, or (b) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all prior periods. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The effects of this guidance have been applied as a change in accounting principle through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $68,217 as of July 1, 2008.
On January 28, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.085 per share payable February 24, 2009 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 9, 2009.
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
When used in this discussion and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and advises readers that various factors, including regional and national economic conditions, substantial changes in level of market interest rates, credit and other risks of lending and investment activities 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. The Company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company believes that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The allowance for loan losses is calculated with the objective of maintaining an allowance level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb estimated loan losses. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and other relevant factors. However, this evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including, among others, expected default probabilities, loss given default, expected commitment usage, the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, value of collateral, estimated losses, and general amounts for historical loss experience. The process also considers economic conditions, uncertainties in estimating losses and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods.
Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and ability 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. Management has the ability and intent to hold the securities classified as held to maturity until they mature, at which time
the Company anticipates fair value will have fully recovered.. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2008, management also had the ability and intent to hold the debt securities classified as available-for-sale for a period of time sufficient for a recovery of cost. The unrealized losses and other-than-temporary impairments are largely due to general market concerns, and significant uncertainty and illiquidity in the markets for these types of securities. The Company believes it is possible that substantially all of the principal and interest payments will be received. However, in light of the decline in the fair value of the AMF Ultra-Short Mortgage Fund, which represents a significant portion of the Company’s available-for-sale securities, the Company recognized an other-than temporary impairment, totaling $1.2 million and $2.2 million (pre-tax and after-tax), respectively, for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2008 through a charge to the income statement.
With the acquisition of Barnsdall State Bank on April 1, 2008, the Company recognized goodwill in the amount of $914,000. Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of the net assets of the business acquired. Goodwill is to be tested for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The Company is in the process of establishing an annual testing date. However, if market conditions continue to worsen or there is significant regulatory action that negatively affects our business, there can be no assurance that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to earnings. The Company will perform its impairment tests utilizing the two steps as outlined in SFAS 142. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit (the Company, in our case) exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill over its carrying value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. The Company’s market value, based on a share price of $7.26 at December 31, 2008 on 2,839,077 outstanding shares, was $20.6 million. This was below our December 31, 2008 book value of $25.3 million. We did an interim evaluation of goodwill impairment using comparable sales data for third and fourth quarter calendar 2008 transactions of banks, bank holding companies and thrifts across the United States. We adjusted our market price upward to reflect the average sales price of these financial institutions. Based on this interim evaluation, the Company passed Phase 1 testing of goodwill impairment, and as of December 31, 2008, there was no impairment of goodwill.
The Bank does not participate in subprime lending activities in the normal course of business. Periodically, the Bank may grant a credit extension to a borrower whose credit scores are marginal, but who has sufficient collateral or who has a positive payment history with the Bank. These balances at December 31, 2008 are considered to be immaterial.
Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008
Our total assets decreased by $682,000 to $156.1 million at December 31, 2008 from $156.8 million at June 30, 2008, reflecting paydowns in both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities and a reduction in federal funds sold, partially offset by growth in loans. Loans receivable, net grew $3.0 million or 2.8% in the same time period. Loans receivable, net increased to $109.0 million at December 31, 2008 from $106.0 million at June 30, 2008. This increase in loans receivable, net primarily resulted from a $2.5 million, or 3.7%, increase in one-to-four family loans, while nonresidential loans decreased $541,000. There were no loans held for sale at December 31, 2008, compared to $455,000 at June 30, 2008. Cash and cash equivalents increased $406,000, from $7.8 million at June 30, 2008 to $8.2 million at December 31, 2008. This increase was a result of a $1.1 million increase in interest-bearing deposits with banks, partially offset by a decrease in federal funds sold of $620,000. The federal funds sold position was impacted by an increase in lending, mentioned above, and the settlement of $3.4 million for stock buybacks, more than offset by a $3.5 million in increase in deposits and a $1.6 million increase in advances. Total securities decreased to $30.2 million at December 31, 2008 from $34.1 million at June 30, 2008, as a result of $2.0 million of normal paydowns, and a $2.2 million other-than-temporary impairment charge.
Our total liabilities increased $4.4 million, or 3.5% mainly due to an increase in deposits and FHLB advances. Total deposits were $105.9 million at December 31, 2008, a $3.5 million, or 3.4% increase from $102.4 million at June 30, 2008. Transaction accounts decreased $2.1 million, from $20.9 million at June 30, 2008 to $18.8 million at December 31, 2008. $762,000 of this decrease was related to the Bank’s internal accounts through which various disbursements are made. Advances were $22.9 million at December 31, 2008, and increased $1.6 million, or 7.4%, from $21.3 million at June 30, 2008. The increase is due to new term advances, partially offset by a $422,000 decrease in our short-term line of credit.
Stockholders’ equity decreased $5.3 million to $25.3 million at December 31, 2008 from $30.6 million at June 30, 2008. This decrease in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to the buyback of 397,068 shares of common stock as announced in the two latest stock repurchase programs. In accordance with the Maryland General Corporation Law, the repurchased shares are treated as authorized but unissued. The total effect of these buybacks was a reduction in stockholders’ equity of $3.2 million. The net loss for the period ended December 31, 2008 decreased equity by $1.7 million, and amortization of awards under the stock option plan and restricted stock plan increased stockholders’ equity by $43,000 and $112,000, respectively. The Company paid regular cash dividends of $492,000 (net of restricted stock dividends of $18,000), in the period ending December 31, 2008. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratified the consensuses reached by the FASB’s Emerging Issue Task Force (“EITF”) relating to EITF 06-4, “Accounting for the Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“EITF 06-4”). EITF 06-4 requires recognition of a liability related to the postretirement benefits covered by an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The Company adopted EITF 06-4 on July 1, 2008, which resulted in a $68,000 decrease to retained earnings. Accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) increased by $74,000 from a loss of $63,000 at June 30, 2008 to a gain of $11,000 at December 31, 2008, due to a slight improvement in market values of some of our available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
General. Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $(915,000) ($(0.35) per diluted share), a $1.2 million decrease compared to net income of $294,000 ($0.09 per diluted share) for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Excluding the $1.2 million pre-tax and after-tax other-than-temporary impairment charge on the AMF Ultra-Short Mortgage Fund, net income would have been $250,000 ($0.10 per diluted share). The decrease in net income, excluding the impairment charge, resulted mainly from an increase in noninterest expense and provision for loan losses, partially offset by increases in net interest income and noninterest income, and a decrease in the provision for income taxes.
Interest Income. Total interest income increased by $159,000, or 7.9%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $2.0 million for the same period in 2007 primarily due to an increase in the average balance of earning assets. The average balance of total interest-earning assets for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $148.9 million, an increase of $17.5 million from the average balance of $131.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007 due to increased loan balances and the acquisition of Barnsdall State Bank (Barnsdall). The yield on earning assets for the period decreased, and was 5.78% compared to a yield of 6.07% in the same period in 2007.
The primary factor for the increase in interest income was a $204,000, or 12.9% increase in interest from loans. Average loans increased $14.9 million, or 15.8%, from $94.2 million in 2007 to $109.1 million in 2008. There was a 17 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans to 6.49% for the 2008 period from 6.66% in the 2007 period, reflecting general rate declines. The prime lending rate dropped by 400 basis points from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008. However, most of our variable-rate loans are tied to the one-year Treasury rate, and reprice annually or less frequently. This rate dropped by 303 basis points in the same time period.
Our average investment portfolio and cash investments totaled $37.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008, a $2.6 million increase from the same period in 2007. This increase reflects the Barnsdall acquisition and purchases of available-for-sale securities in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, which were funded by Federal Home Loan Bank advances. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in short-term investments to fund loan growth. The yield on these investments decreased to 3.93% compared to 4.57% in 2007. This yield decrease is primarily due to the 400 basis point drop in the rates on federal funds sold, which is the instrument in which we invest excess funds.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense was $945,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $41,000 over the three months ended December 31, 2007. Average interest-bearing liabilities were $119.3 million for the period, an increase of $25.8 million, or 27.5% from the same period last year. This increase was due to the Barnsdall acquisition and higher certificates of deposit balances. During the same periods, the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 70 basis points to 3.14%, compared to 3.84% in the same period last year.
Interest on deposits increased $21,000 over the same period last year. Average interest-bearing deposits were up $18.0 million between the two quarters, with certificates of deposit accounting for an $11.1 million increase. For the same time periods, passbook savings balances, money market savings, and interest-bearing transaction accounts increased $2.5 million, $104,000, and $4.3 million, respectively. Much of this growth is attributable to the Barnsdall acquisition. Barnsdall had $10.5 million in total deposits at March 31, 2008, immediately prior to the acquisition date. Average rates on certificates decreased 91 basis points, to 3.54%, during the current period, compared to 4.45% for the same period last year.
Interest expense on advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka increased $62,000 from the prior year, reflecting an $8.1 million increase in average balances, partially offset by a 56 basis point decrease in average rates.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $118,000 or 10.7%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The net interest rate spread was 2.64% for the current period, compared to 2.24% in the same period last year. The net interest margin decreased to 3.26% from 3.34% for the same periods.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $25,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. No provision was recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2007. There were $5,000 of net charge-offs in the current quarter, compared to less than $1,000 of net recoveries in the same period last year. Based on our stratification of the loan portfolios using historical loss factors and other data, management believes that the recorded allowance would cover both known and inherent losses in the portfolio that were both probable and estimable.
The evaluation of the level of loan loss allowance is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events change. The level of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from these estimates. The allowance for loan losses was $450,000 at December 31, 2008 and $399,000 at December 31, 2007, and as a percentage of total loans outstanding was 0.41% and 0.42% at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in this ratio is mainly reflective of the increase in total loans outstanding. Our nonaccrual loans were $308,000 and $9,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At December 31, 2008, nonaccrual loans included two real estate loans, each in excess of $100,000, which are in the process of foreclosure. We estimate the collateral value to be more than sufficient to satisfy the debt. The ratios of total nonaccrual loans to total loans as of those dates were .28% and .01%, respectively.
Management assesses the allowance for loan losses monthly. While management uses available information to estimate losses on loans, loan loss provisions may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require the Bank to recognize additional provisions based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. The allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2008 was maintained at a level that represented management’s best estimate of losses in the loan portfolio to the extent they were both probable and reasonably estimable. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance of loan losses will be sufficient to offset any future loan losses.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased to $212,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from $192,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Gains on sales of loans increased $7,000 due to better spreads on rates, and mortgage loan servicing fees increased $5,000, reflecting higher dollar amounts of loans serviced.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $2.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Excluding the other-than-temporary impairment charge, noninterest expense was $1.10 million, increasing $208,000 from $838,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Salaries and benefits increased $136,000, or 28.6%, due to the acquisition of Barnsdall, other additions to staff, and normal salary increases. Stock and stock option awards given under the recently approved Osage Bancshares, Inc. 2007 Stock Compensation and Incentive Plan increased these expenses $34,000. Other benefits increased $14,000, including educational costs and temporary agency fees, and payroll taxes increased $14,000, mainly due to higher payroll and employment taxes paid on restricted stock
awards. Occupancy expense increased $33,000 primarily as a result of remodeling of the Bartlesville location and the acquisition of Barnsdall. Deposit insurance premiums increased $11,000, reflecting higher deposit balances and a reduced credit amount available for use against the premium assessment. The Company anticipates a significant increase in the cost of federal deposit insurance from current levels of five to seven basis points. The FDIC has recently increased the assessment rate for the most highly rated institutions to between 12 and 14 basis points for the first quarter of 2009 and proposed to set the rate between 10 and 14 basis points thereafter. Assessment rates could be further increased if an institution’s FHLB advances exceed 15% of deposits. The FDIC has also established a program under which it fully guarantees all non-interest bearing transaction accounts and senior unsecured debt of a bank or its holding company. Institutions that did not opt out of the program by December 5, 2008 will be assessed ten basis points for non-interest bearing transaction account balances in excess of $250,000 and 75 basis points of the amount of debt issued. The Company chose not to participate in this program.
Other operating expenses increased by $28,000. Data processing increased $13,000 because of technology upgrades and the addition of Barnsdall. Item processing costs and other charges from correspondent banks increased $9,000 due to higher volumes and some price increases. Directors’ fees increased $9,000 as a result of per meeting fee increases. SEC-related expenses decreased $17,000. The previous year quarter’s fees reflected the costs of establishing the Osage Bancshares, Inc. 2007 Stock Compensation and Incentive Plan and expenses for the Barnsdall acquisition, which were later capitalized.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes decreased $53,000, or 32.0%, reflecting a decrease in taxable income. Excluding the other-than-temporary impairment charge, the effective tax rate was 31% for the three months ended December 31, 2008, and 36% for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in the effective tax rate reflects a higher proportion of nontaxable income in the current year.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
General. Net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2008 was $(1.7 million) ($(0.64) per diluted share), a $2.3 million decrease compared to net income of $602,000 ($0.18 per diluted share) for the six months ended December 31, 2007. Excluding the $2.2 million pre-tax and after-tax other-than-temporary impairment charge on the AMF Ultra-Short Mortgage Fund, net income would have been $514,000 ($0.19 per diluted share). The decrease in net income, excluding the impairment charge, resulted mainly from an increase in noninterest expense and provision for loan losses, partially offset by increases in net interest income and noninterest income, and a decrease in the provision for income taxes.
Interest Income. Total interest income increased by $474,000, or 12.1%, to $4.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 from $3.9 million for the same period in 2007 primarily due to an increase in the balance of earning assets. The average balance of total interest-earning assets for the six months ended December 31, 2008 was $148.7 million, an increase of $22.5 million from the average balance of $126.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007. The yield on earning assets for the period decreased 29 basis points, and was 5.84% compared to a yield of 6.13% in the same period in 2007.
The primary factor for the increase in interest income was a $478,000, or 15.4% increase in interest from loans. Average loans increased $16.4 million, or 17.7%, from $92.2 million in 2007 to $108.6 million in 2008. There was a 13 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans to 6.55% for the 2008 period from 6.68% in the 2007 period, reflecting lower long-term interest rates, downward repricing of variable-rate loans, and a change in the mix of loans.
Our average investment portfolio and cash investments totaled $38.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008, a $6.0 million or 18.8% increase from the same period in 2007. The yield on these investments decreased to 3.99% compared to 4.63% in 2007. This yield decrease is attributable to much lower overnight rates, and decreases in average yields on the mutual fund investing in short-duration mortgages.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $208,000 or 12.3%, to $1.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 from $1.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007. The increase in interest expense resulted from a $29.1 million, or 33.0%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, to $117.4 million for the 2008 period compared to $88.3 million for the 2007 period. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 61 basis points, to 3.17% in the current period from 3.78% in the same period of 2007. We had a change in the mix of our deposits, with average interest-bearing deposits up $21.7 million between the two periods. Certificates of deposit accounted for $14.7 million of this increase. For the same time periods, passbook savings account balances increased $2.3 million, and interest-bearing transaction account balances increased $4.5 million. Much of this growth is attributable to the Barnsdall acquisition. Barnsdall had $10.5 million in total deposits at March 31, 2008, immediately prior to the acquisition date. Average rates on certificates of deposit for the current period were 3.61%, decreasing 80 basis points from 4.41% during the same period last year. These rate decreases reflect general market conditions.
Interest expense on FHLB advances increased $122,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, or 37.7%, compared to the six months ended December 31, 2007, reflecting an increase in the average balance of advances to $21.8 million for the 2008 period from $14.2 million for the 2007 period, combined with a 47 basis point decrease in the average cost. We have increased advances over the period to fund loan growth and to maintain liquidity.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $266,000, or 12.0%, to $2.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 from $2.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007. The net interest rate spread increased to 2.67% for the 2008 period from 2.36% for the 2007 period, while the net interest margin decreased to 3.34% from 3.49% for the same periods. The increase in spread reflects repricing of our maturing certificates of deposit and advances. The decrease in the net interest margin reflects lower levels of equity available for investment, and a decline in short-term investment rates.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $25,000 for the period ended December 31, 2008. No provision was recorded in the period ended December 31, 2007. There were $5,000 of net charge-offs in the current period, compared to $3,000 of net charge-offs in the same period last year. We have seen an increase in loan delinquencies from the prior year, and we increased the allowance for loan losses accordingly. Based on our stratification of the loan portfolios using historical loss factors and other data, management believes that the recorded allowance would cover both known and inherent losses in the portfolio that were both probable and estimable.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased to $420,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 from $369,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $20,000 between the periods, reflecting fee income from the Barnsdall branch. Gains on sales of mortgage loans were up $13,000 due to better spreads on rates, and mortgage loan servicing fees increased $9,000, reflecting higher dollar amounts of loans serviced.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $4.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008. Excluding the other-than-temporary impairment charge, noninterest expense was $2.1 million, increasing $465,000 from $1.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007. Salaries and benefits
increased $277,000, or 29.5%, due to the acquisition of Barnsdall, other additions to staff, and normal salary increases. Stock and stock option awards given under the recently approved Osage Bancshares, Inc. 2007 Stock Compensation and Incentive Plan increased these expenses $82,000. Other benefits increased $36,000, including educational costs and temporary agency fees, and payroll taxes increased $17,000, mainly due to higher payroll and employment taxes paid on restricted stock awards. Employee insurance costs increased $21,000 during the same period. Occupancy expense increased $77,000 mostly as a result of a branch renovation and the addition of the Barnsdall branch. Data processing increased $25,000 because of technology upgrades and the addition of Barnsdall. Deposit insurance premiums increased $22,000, reflecting higher deposit balances and a reduced credit amount available for use against the premium assessment. Item processing costs and other charges from correspondent banks increased $18,000 due to higher volumes and some price increases. SEC-related expenses decreased $17,000. The previous year’s fees reflected the costs of establishing the Osage Bancshares, Inc. 2007 Stock Compensation and Incentive Plan and expenses for the Barnsdall acquisition, which were later capitalized.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes decreased $85,000, or 24.9%, reflecting an increase in taxable income. Excluding the other-than-temporary impairment charge, the effective tax rate was 33% for the period ended December 31, 2008, and 36% for the period ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in the effective tax rate reflects a higher proportion of nontaxable income in the current year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are required to have enough investments that qualify as liquid assets in order to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure a safe and sound banking operation. Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to the return on loans. Historically, we have maintained liquid assets above levels believed to be adequate to meet the requirements of normal operations, including potential deposit outflows. Cash flow projections are regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity is maintained.
Our liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, scheduled payments, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments and funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. We also generate cash through borrowings. We utilize FHLB advances to leverage our capital base and provide a portion of the funding needed to manage the interest rate risk presented by our core business of attracting and retaining retail deposits to fund mortgage and consumer loans.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as overnight deposits, and collateralized mortgage obligations. On a longer term basis, we maintain a strategy of investing in various loan products. We use our sources of funds primarily to meet our ongoing commitments, to pay maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals, to fund loan commitments and to maintain our portfolio of mortgage-backed securities and investment securities. At December 31, 2008, the total approved loan origination commitments outstanding amounted to $5.2 million. At the same date, construction loans in process were $3.2 million. We also had $906,000 of unfunded commitments on lines of credit on that date, and $26,000 in standby letters of credit. We had $3.8 million of commitments to sell loans to
Freddie Mac. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31, 2008, totaled $52.1 million. Management’s policy is to maintain deposit rates at levels that are competitive with other local financial institutions. Based on the competitive rates and on historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with Osage Federal. In addition, at December 31, 2008, our total collateralized borrowing limit was $59.9 millionof which we had $22.9 million in FHLB advances outstanding. We are also party to letters of credit with the FHLB in the amount of $17.0 million. These letters of credit are used to collateralize the deposits of certain governmental agencies to replace excess deposit insurance that is no longer available. In turn, they reduce the amount we may borrow from the FHLB by the same amount, giving us the ability at December 31, 2008 to borrow an additional $20.0 million from the FHLB of Topeka as a funding source to meet commitments and for liquidity purposes.
