NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
On July 6, 2011, State-Investors Bank completed its conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank. In connection with the conversion, State-Investors Bank formed State Investors Bancorp, Inc., a Louisiana chartered corporation (the “Company” or “State Investors Bancorp”), which offered and sold 2,909,500 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share to eligible depositors and borrowers of the Bank. Upon completion of the conversion and the offering, all of State-Investors Bank’s stock is owned by State Investors Bancorp, and all of State Investors Bancorp’s stock is, in turn, owned by the public. The Company sold 2,909,500 shares of its common stock, raising proceeds of approximately $27.9 million, net of offering expenses. The Company contributed approximately 50% of the net proceeds to the Bank. All remaining proceeds were retained by State Investors Bancorp for future capital needs.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. For further information, please review the audited financial statements of State-Investors Bank for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-172659).
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, State-Investors Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions between the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Loans
The Bank grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for unearned income, the allowance for loan losses, and any unamortized deferred fee or costs on originated loans.
Loan origination and commitment fees are deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment over the contractual lives of the related loans using the interest method. Discounts on consumer loans are recognized over the contractual lives of the loans using the interest method.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (Unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation (Continued)
Loans (Continued)
The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in the process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management’s judgment, is considered to be adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is based upon management’s review and evaluation of the loan portfolio.
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. For loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established based on the discounted cash flows for collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
Although management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, because of uncertainties associated with local economic conditions, collateral values, and future cash flows on impaired loans, it is reasonably possible that a material change could occur in the allowance for loan losses in the near term. However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation (Continued)
Other Real Estate
Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are recorded at fair value less estimated selling cost at the date of foreclosure. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and property held for sale is carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value less cost to sell. Impairment losses on property to be held and used are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a property exceeds its fair value. Costs of significant property improvements are capitalized whereas costs relating to holding property are expensed. The portion of interest costs relating to development of real estate is capitalized. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and any subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to operations, if necessary, to reduce the carrying value of a property to the lower of its cost or fair value less cost to sell.
Earnings per Share
Amounts reported in earnings per share reflect earnings available to common stockholders’ for the period divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, exclusive of unearned ESOP shares.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. ASU 2011-02 provides clarification on guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The effective date for ASU 2011-02 is for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, disclosures or level of troubled debt restructurings.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. This update revises the criteria for assessing effective control for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The update will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, early adoption is prohibited, and the amendments will be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 requires entities to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate consecutive statements. The effective date for ASU 2011-05 is for annual and interim period beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. It will present a change in disclosure as the Company currently presents comprehensive income in its consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.

There were no sales or calls of available for sale securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 the Bank sold available for sale securities resulting in gross realized losses of approximately $91,000.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a periodic and regular basis, as well as when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) 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.
In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition. As the Company has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available-for-sale, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary.
Gross unrealized losses in investment securities at September 30, 2011, existing for continuous periods of less than 12 months and for continuous periods of 12 months or more are as follows. Due to the nature of the investment and current market prices, these unrealized losses are considered a temporary impairment of these securities.

Management segregates the loan portfolio into portfolio segments which is defined as the level at which the Company develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for loan losses. The portfolio segments are segregated based on loan types and the underlying risk factors present in each loan type. Such risk factors are periodically reviewed by management and revised as deemed appropriate. The following tables set forth, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and year ended December 31, 2010, the balance of the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment, disaggregated by impairment methodology, which is then further segregated by amounts evaluated for impairment collectively and individually. The allowance for loan losses allocated to each portfolio segment is not necessarily indicative of future losses in any particular portfolio segment and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in other portfolio segments.

Management further disaggregates the loan portfolio segments into classes of loans, which are based on the initial measurement of the loan, risk characteristics of the loan and the method for monitoring and assessing the credit risk of the loan.
As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, loan balances past due more than 90 days and still accruing interest amounted to $138,000 and $1.1 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, loan balances on non-accrual status amounted to $1.7 million and $178,000, respectively. The Company considers all loans more than 90 days past due as non-performing loans.

Note 4 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Fair Value Disclosures
The Company groups its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels. Fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to develop those assumptions and measure fair value. The hierarchy requires companies to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
| ● | Level 1 — Includes the most reliable sources, and includes quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2 — Includes observable inputs. Observable inputs include inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates and yield curves at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) as well as inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market- corroborated inputs). |
| ● | Level 3 — Includes unobservable inputs and should be used only when observable inputs are unavailable. |
Recurring Basis
Fair values of investment securities available for sale were primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. This pricing service provides information by utilizing evaluated pricing models supported with market data information. Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data from market research publications.
The following tables present the balance of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Company did not record any liabilities at fair value for which measurement of the fair value was made on a recurring basis.

Nonrecurring Basis
The Company has segregated all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date in the table below. The Company did not record any liabilities at fair value for which measurement of the fair value was made on a non-recurring basis.
The fair value of the impaired loans is measured at the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Impaired loans are Level 2 assets measured using appraisals from external parties of the collateral less any prior liens. Repossessed assets are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell. The fair value of repossessed assets is based on property appraisals and an analysis of similar properties available. As such, the Company records repossessed assets as Level 2.

Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from these disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

Note 4 – Fair Values of Financial Instruments (Continued)
Financial Instruments (Continued)
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and Short-Term Investments — For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Securities — Fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
Loans — The fair value for loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, with interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit rates. Loans with similar classifications are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The allowance for loan losses, which was used to measure the credit risk, is subtracted from loans.
Deposits — The fair value of demand deposits, savings account, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, with interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Borrowings — The fair value of FHLB advances is estimated using the rates currently offered for advances of similar maturities.
Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit — The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit do not differ significantly from the commitment amount and are therefore omitted from this disclosure.
The estimated approximate fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:

Note 5 – Employee Stock Ownership Plan
In connection with the mutual to stock conversion completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, effective July 1, 2011, the Company instituted an employee stock ownership plan. The State-Investors Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) enables all eligible employees of the Bank to share in the growth of the Company through the acquisition of stock. Employees are generally eligible to participate in the ESOP after completion of one year of service and attaining the age of 21.
The ESOP purchased the statutory limit of eight percent of the shares sold in the initial public offering of the Company on July 6, 2011. This purchase was facilitated by a loan from the Company to the ESOP in the amount of $2.3 million. The loan is secured by a pledge of the ESOP shares. The shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the consolidated balance sheets. The corresponding note is being repaid in 80 quarterly debt service payments of $40,000 on the last business day of each quarter, beginning September 30, 2011, at the rate of 3.25%.
The Company, at its discretion, may contribute to the ESOP, in the form of debt service. Cash dividends on the Company’s stock shall be used to either repay the loan, be distributed to the participants in the ESOP, or retained in the ESOP and reinvested in Company stock. Shares are released for allocation to ESOP participants based on principal and interest payments of the note. Compensation expense is recognized based on the number of shares allocated to ESOP participants each period and the average market price of the stock for the period.
ESOP compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $34,000.
Note 6 – Mutual to Stock Conversion
On July 6, 2011, the Bank completed its conversion from a mutual to a stock form of organization as a subsidiary of State Investors Bancorp, Inc. and the Company completed an initial public offering in which it issued 2,909,500 shares of its common stock for a total of $29.1 million in gross offering proceeds. In conjunction with the conversion, the Bank established a liquidation account in an amount equal to the Bank’s retained earnings contained in the final prospectus. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders who maintain deposit accounts in the Bank after the conversion.
In the event of a complete liquidation (and only in such event), each eligible account holder and supplemental eligible account holder will be entitled to receive a liquidation distribution from the liquidation account in the amount of the then current adjusted balance of deposit accounts held, before any liquidation distribution may be made with respect to common stock. Except for the repurchase of stock and payment of dividends by the Bank, the existence of the liquidation account will not restrict the use or application of such retained earnings.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The purpose of this discussion and analysis is to focus on significant changes in the financial condition of State Investors Bancorp, Inc. (“State Investors Bancorp” or the “Company”) from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011 and on its results of operations during the third quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. This discussion and analysis is intended to highlight and supplement information presented elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, particularly the financial statements and related notes appearing in Item 1.
To the extent that statements in this Form 10-Q relate to future plans, objectives, financial results or performance of the Company or State-Investors Bank (the “Bank”), these statements are deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements, which are based on management’s current information, estimates and assumptions and the current economic environment, are generally identified by the use of the words “plan”, “believe”, “expect”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “project” or similar expressions. The Company’s or Bank’s actual strategies and results in future periods may differ materially from those currently expected due to various risks and uncertainties. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s prospectus, dated May 11, 2011 (SEC File No. 333-172659).
Critical Accounting Policies
In reviewing and understanding financial information for State Investors Bancorp, you are encouraged to read and understand the significant accounting policies used in preparing our financial statements. These policies are described in Note 1 of the notes to our financial statements. The accounting and financial reporting policies of State Investors Bancorp conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, the financial statements require certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions, which are believed to be reasonable, based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. The following accounting policies comprise those that management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These policies require numerous estimates or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or may be subject to variations which may significantly affect our reported results and financial condition for the period or in future periods.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level to provide for probable credit losses related to specifically identified loans and for losses inherent in the loan portfolio that have been incurred as of the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific allowances and a general allowance. Specific provisions are assessed for each loan that is reviewed for impairment or for which a probable loss has been identified. The allowance related to loans that are identified as impaired is based on discounted expected future cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate, the observable market value of the loan, or the estimated fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. Factors contributing to the determination of specific provisions include the financial condition of the borrower, changes in the value of pledged collateral and general economic conditions. General allowances are established based on historical charge-offs considering factors that include risk rating, concentrations and loan type. For the general allowance, management also considers trends in delinquencies and non-accrual loans, concentrations, volatility of risk ratings and the evolving mix in terms of collateral, relative loan size and the degree of seasoning within the various loan products.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Our allowance levels may be impacted by changes in underwriting standards, credit administration and collection policies, regulation and other factors which affect the credit quality and collectability of the loan portfolio also impact the allowance levels. The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio; actual credit losses may vary from the current estimate. The allowance for loan losses is reviewed periodically, taking into consideration the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, past charge-off experience, general economic conditions and other factors that warrant current recognition. As adjustments to the allowance for loan losses become necessary, they are reflected as a provision for loan losses in current-period earnings. Actual loan charge-offs are deducted from and subsequent recoveries of previously charged-off loans are added to the allowance.
Other-Than-Temporary Impairment. We review our investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of impairment. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer including any specific events that may influence the operations of the issuer, and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market. Inherent in this analysis is a certain amount of imprecision in the judgment used by management.
We recognize credit-related other-than-temporary impairment on debt securities in earnings while noncredit-related other-than-temporary impairment on debt securities not expected to be sold is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. We assess whether the credit loss existed by considering whether (a) we have the intent to sell the security, (b) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery, or (c) we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. We may bifurcate the other-than-temporary impairment on securities not expected to be sold or where the entire amortized cost of the security is not expected to be recovered into the components representing credit loss and the component representing loss related to other factors. The portion of the fair value decline attributable to credit loss is recognized through earnings.
Corporate debt securities are evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment by determining whether it is probable that an adverse change in estimated cash flows has occurred. Determining whether there has been an adverse change in estimated cash flows involves the calculation of the present value of remaining cash flows compared to previously projected cash flows. We consider the discounted cash flow analysis to be our primary evidence when determining whether credit-related other-than-temporary impairment exists on corporate debt securities.
Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. Realizing our deferred tax assets principally depends upon our achieving projected future taxable income, we may change our judgments regarding future profitability due to future market conditions and other factors. We may adjust our deferred tax asset balances if our judgments change.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010
General. The Company’s total assets increased by $37.8 million, or 18.1%, to $246.5 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $208.7 million at December 31, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the increase in our assets was primarily due to increases in mortgage-backed securities, which increased $33.2 million, or 354.0%, and cash and cash equivalents, which increased $3.4 million, or 48.1%. Premises and equipment, net, increased $932,000, or 12.0% and loans receivable increased $320,000, or 0.2%, at September 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.4 million, or 48.1%, from $7.0 million at December 31, 2010 to $10.4 million at September 30, 2011. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was due in large part to the proceeds received in connection with the stock conversion offering completed in the third quarter 2011. As of July 6, 2011, the subscription funds deposited in excess of $29.1 million of common stock sold in the offering were returned to subscribers.
Loans Receivable, Net. Loans receivable, net, increased by $320,000, or 0.2%, to $181 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $180.6 million at December 31, 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our total loan originations and purchases amounted to $22.4 million and loan principal payments were $22.1 million. All of our loans are originated for portfolio. The increase in loans receivable, net, was primarily due to increases in one-to-four family residential loans of $958,000, land loans of $726,000 and $168,000 in home equity lines of credit. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $829,000 in residential construction loans and $650,000 in multi-family residential loans.
Investment Securities. Mortgage-backed securities amounted to $42.6 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $9.4 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of $33.2 million, or 354.0%. The increase in mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 2011, was due to purchases of available-for-sale securities combined with unrealized gains on such securities, partially offset by maturities and paydowns received during the nine-month period. The increase in mortgage-backed securities reflects the Company’s decision to invest a portion of its liquid assets in investment securities to enhance its yield.
Premises and Equipment, Net. Premises and equipment, net, increased $932,000, or 12.0%, to $8.7 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $7.8 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to the completion of our new main office in February 2011.
Total liabilities. Total liabilities increased $11.5 million, or 6.1%, at September 30, 2011, to $198.9 million compared to $187.4 million at December 31, 2010. Deposits increased $2.5 million, or 1.6%, to $161.7 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $159.1 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to increases in passbook savings accounts of $6.7 million, or 31.5%, money market deposit accounts of $2.4 million, or 53.0%, partially offset by a $5.7 million decrease in certificates of deposit, or 4.9%, and a $904,000 decrease in checking accounts. We had $34.6 million of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank at September 30, 2011 compared to $26.5 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of 30.7%.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Total Stockholders’ Equity. Total stockholders’ equity amounted to $47.6 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $21.3 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of $26.3 million, or 123.7%. The reason for the increase in our total stockholders’ equity was primarily due to the issuance of common stock in the conversion offering, net income of $682,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the release of $34,000 in ESOP shares and an increase in unrealized gain on securities available for sale of $8,000, net of the deferred tax effect, partially offset by the purchase of $2.3 million of shares to fund the ESOP.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
General. The Company’s net income amounted to $193,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $29,000, or 13.1%, compared to net income of $222,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income of $95,000, or 5.1%, and an increase in non-interest expense of $8,000, or 0.5%, offset by an increase in non-interest income of $62,000, or 885.7%, and a decrease in the provision for income taxes of $7,000, or 5.4%. The decrease in net interest income was due to a decrease of $349,000, or 11.9%, in total interest income in the third quarter of 2011 primarily as a result of decreases in the average yield on interest earning assets.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income amounted to $1.75 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1.85 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The $95,000, or 5.1%, decrease was primarily due to a $349,000 decrease in interest income, partially offset by a decrease in interest paid on deposits of $159,000 and a decrease of interest paid on Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $95,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the prior year period.
The average interest rate spread decreased 50 basis points from 3.57% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to 3.07% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, while average interest-earning assets increased from $198.5 million to $219.7 million during the same periods. Average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased from 106.86% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to 107.31% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in the average interest rate spread primarily reflects the 121 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest earning assets from 5.92% for the third quarter of 2010 to 4.71% for the third quarter of 2011. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 71 basis points from 2.35% for the third quarter of 2010 to 1.64% for the third quarter of 2011. Net interest margin decreased 53 basis points from 3.72% to 3.19% at September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
Interest income decreased by $349,000 or 11.9%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to an 88 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans receivable from 6.39% for the third quarter of 2010 to 5.51% for the third quarter of 2011. In addition, contributing to the decline in interest income was a 159 basis point decrease in average yield on mortgage-backed securities from 2.97% for the third quarter in 2010 to 1.38% for the third quarter in 2011.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Interest expense decreased by $254,000, or 23.2%, to $839,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily as a result of a 39 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit accounts and a $5.1 million decrease in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, combined with a 68 basis point decline in average cost of such advances. The decrease in average rate is due to a decline in cost of certificates of deposit as higher cost certificates of deposit repriced at a lower rate during the period.
Average Balances, Net Interest Income, and Yields Earned and Rates Paid. The following table shows for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates, the average interest rate spread and the net interest margin. As the Company owned no tax-exempt securities during the periods presented, no tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made. All average balances are based on monthly balances. Management does not believe that the monthly averages differ significantly from what the daily averages would be.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings as losses are estimated to have occurred in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level to provide for probable credit losses related to specifically identified loans and for losses inherent in the loan portfolio that have been incurred as of the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific allowances and a general allowance.
Specific provisions are assessed for each loan that is reviewed for impairment or for which a probable loss has been identified. The allowance related to loans that are identified as impaired is based on discounted expected future cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate, the observable market value of the loan, or the estimated fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. Factors contributing to the determination of specific provisions include the financial condition of the borrower, changes in the value of pledged collateral and general economic conditions. General allowances are established based on historical charge-offs considering factors that include risk rating, concentrations and loan type. For the general allowance, management also considers trends in delinquencies and non-accrual loans, concentrations, volatility of risk ratings and the evolving mix in terms of collateral, relative loan size and the degree of seasoning within the various loan products.
Changes in underwriting standards, credit administration and collection policies, regulation and other factors which affect the credit quality and collectability of the loan portfolio also impact the allowance levels. The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio; actual credit losses may vary from the current estimate. The allowance for loan losses is reviewed periodically, taking into consideration the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, past charge-off experience, general economic conditions and other factors that warrant current recognition. As adjustments to the allowance for loan losses become necessary, they are reflected as a provision for loan losses in current-period earnings. Actual loan charge-offs are deducted from and subsequent recoveries of previously charged-off loans are added to the allowance.
During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we made a provision of $30,000, compared to a provision of $35,000 the third quarter of 2010. To the best of management’s knowledge, the allowance is maintained at a level believed to cover all known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio, both probable and reasonable to estimate.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income, which includes fees and service charges and realized gains and losses on investments was $69,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $62,000 compared to non-interest income of $7,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to a $45,000 loss on the sale of investment securities available-for-sale that was recognized in the third quarter of 2010, compared to none in the third quarter of 2011.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased by $8,000, or 0.5% to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily the result of a $39,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $17,000 increase in professional fees and a $16,000 increase in occupancy expense, partially offset by a $30,000 decrease in advertising expense, a $16,000 decrease in deposit insurance premiums and a $14,000 decrease in data processing expense.
Income Tax Expense. The income tax expense amounted to $123,000 and $130,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our effective federal tax rate was 38.9% and 36.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
General. The Company’s net income amounted to $682,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $58,000, or 7.8%, compared to net income of $740,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest income of $749,000, or 8.5%, and an increase in non-interest expense of $220,000, or 5.3%, offset by a decrease in interest expense of $748,000, or 22.1% and a $166,000 increase in non-interest income. Interest expense decreased in third quarter of 2011 primarily as a result of decreases in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit and in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income amounted to $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Interest income decreased $749,000 and was offset by a decrease of interest paid on Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $419,000 and a decrease of interest paid on deposits of $329,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the prior year period.
The average interest rate spread decreased 10 basis points from 3.45% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 3.35% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, while average interest-earning assets increased from $200.2 million to $210.5 million during the same periods. Average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 107.22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 105.19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in the average interest rate spread primarily reflects the 76 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest earning assets from 5.87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 5.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 66 basis points from 2.42% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 1.76% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net interest margin decreased 17 basis points from 3.61% to 3.44% at September 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
Interest income decreased by $749,000 or 8.5%, to $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a combined 54 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans receivable from 6.32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 5.78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and a $370,000 decrease in the average balance of loans receivable from $181.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $181.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. To a lesser extent, the decline in interest income was due to a 157 basis point decrease in average yield on mortgage-backed securities from 3.21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 1.64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Interest expense decreased by $748,000, or 22.1%, to $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily as a result of a 35 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit accounts and an $11.5 million decrease in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, combined with a 40 basis point decline in average cost of such advances. The decrease in average rate is due to a decline in cost of certificates of deposit as higher cost certificates of deposit repriced at a lower rate during the fiscal year. The decline in the average Federal Home Loan Bank advances was a result of our strategy to pay down high cost borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we made a provision of $124,000, compared to a provision of $110,000 the nine months ended September 30, 2010, due primarily to the increase of $320,000 of net loans receivable in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. To the best of management’s knowledge, the allowance is maintained at a level believed to cover all known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio, both probable and reasonable to estimate. See additional discussion under “Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.”
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income, which includes fees and service charges and realized gains and losses on investments was $180,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $166,000 compared to non-interest income of $14,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to a $91,000 loss on the sale of investment securities available-for-sale that was recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to none in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased by $220,000, or 5.3% to $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily the result of a $105,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, an $80,000 increase in occupancy expense, a $41,000 increase in professional fees, a $40,000 increase in deposit insurance premiums and a $19,000 increase in security, partially offset by an $80,000 decrease in advertising expense and a $16,000 decrease in data processing expense.
Income Tax Expense. The income tax expense amounted to $412,000 and $423,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our effective federal tax rate was 37.7% and 36.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company maintains levels of liquid assets deemed adequate by management. The Company adjusts its liquidity levels to fund deposit outflows, repay its borrowings and to fund loan commitments. The Company also adjusts liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives.
The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and to a lesser extent, funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company sets the interest rates on its deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, The Company invests excess funds in short-term interest-earning accounts and other assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.
A significant portion of the Company’s liquidity consists of non-interest earning deposits. The Company’s primary sources of cash are principal repayments on loans and increases in deposit accounts. If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, which provide an additional source of funds. At September 30, 2011, the Company had $34.6 million of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and had $101.2 million in additional borrowing capacity. Additionally, at September 30, 2011, State-Investors Bank was a party to a Master Purchase Agreement with First National Bankers Bank whereby State-Investors Bank may purchase Federal Funds from First National Bankers Bank in an amount not to exceed $6.4 million. There were no amounts purchased under this agreement as of September 30, 2011.
At September 30, 2011, the Company had outstanding loan commitments of $4.1 million to originate loans. At September 30, 2011, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year, excluding time deposits in individual retirement accounts, totaled $61.3 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In addition, in a rising interest rate environment, the cost of such deposits could be significantly higher upon renewal. The Company intends to utilize its liquidity to fund its lending activities.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
State-Investors Bank is required to maintain regulatory capital sufficient to meet tier 1 leverage, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 4.0%, 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively. At September 30, 2011, State-Investors Bank exceeded each of its capital requirements with ratios of 14.51%, 27.25% and 28.35%, respectively. As a savings and loan holding company, State Investors Bancorp is not currently subject to any regulatory capital requirements.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The financial statements and related financial data presented herein regarding the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which generally require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on the Company’s performance than does the effect of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates.

ITEM 2 – UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
State Investors Bancorp’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-172659) was declared effective by the SEC on May 11, 2011. On July 6, 2011 State-Investors Bank completed its conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank concurrent with the State Investors Bancorp stock offering. Upon completion of the conversion and the offering, all of State-Investors Bank’s stock is owned by State Investors Bancorp, and all of State Investors Bancorp’s stock is, in turn, owned by the public. In connection with the conversion and offering, the Company sold 2,909,500 shares of its common stock, raising $29.1 million of gross proceeds and contributed approximately $13.9 million of equity to the Bank. All further proceeds were retained by State Investors Bancorp for future capital needs.
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods (“KBW”) was engaged to assist in the marketing of the common stock. For their services, KBW received a sales fee of $307,000. Expenses related to the offering were approximately $1.1 million, including the sales fee paid to KBW, none of which were paid to officers or directors of State Investors Bancorp, the Bank or associates of such persons. No underwriting discounts, commissions or finders fees were paid in connection with the offering. Net proceeds of the offering were approximately $27.9 million. As a result of completion of the offering, 2,909,500 shares of State Investors Bancorp’s common stock are outstanding as of November 14, 2011.
Initially, both State Investors Bancorp and State-Investors Bank have invested the net proceeds from the stock offering in short-term investments until these proceeds can be deployed for other purposes.
State Investors Bancorp Inc.’s common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “SIBC.”
