NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the nine and three month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 1. Basis of Presentation --------------------- The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2004. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the nine and three month periods ended December 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. Critical Accounting Policy - The Company's critical accounting policy relates to the allowance for losses on loans. The Company has established a systematic method of periodically reviewing the credit quality of the loan portfolio in order to establish a sufficient allowance for losses on loans. The allowance for losses on loans is based on management's current judgments about the credit quality of individual loans and segments of the loan portfolio. The allowance for losses on loans is established through a provision, and considers all known internal and external factors that affect loan collectability as of the reporting date. Such evaluation, which included a review of all loans on which full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, management's knowledge of inherent risks in the portfolio that are probable and reasonably estimable and other factors that warrant recognition in providing an appropriate loan loss allowance. Management has discussed the development and selection of this critical accounting policy with the audit committee of the Board of Directors. Use of Estimates - 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 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. 2. Principles of Consolidation --------------------------- The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. and the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Wayne Savings Community Bank ("Wayne Savings" or the "Bank"). During fiscal 2004, the Company's Board of Directors approved a business combination, which was completed in June 2004, whereby Stebbins Bancshares, Inc., the parent of Stebbins National Bank, was merged into Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. and Stebbins National Bank merged with and into Wayne Savings Community Bank. The business combination was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the December 31, 2004 consolidated financial statements herein include the accounts of Stebbins National Bank from the June 1, 2004 acquisition date through December 31, 2004. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. 8 Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the nine and three month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 3. Earnings Per Share ------------------ Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, less shares in the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") that are unallocated and not committed to be released. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of all additional potential common shares issuable under the Company's stock option plan. The computations are as follows: For the nine months ended For the three months ended December 31, December 31, 2004 2003 2004 2003 Weighted-average common shares outstanding (basic) 3,589,224 3,747,681 3,535,379 3,757,170 Dilutive effect of assumed exercise of stock options 31,763 3,916 32,929 20,154 --------- --------- --------- --------- Weighted-average common shares outstanding (diluted) 3,620,987 3,751,597 3,568,308 3,777,324 ========= ========= ========= ========= All outstanding options were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and nine month periods ending December 31, 2004 and 2003. 4. Stock Option Plan ----------------- The Company has a 1993 incentive Stock Option Plan that provided for the issuance of 196,390 shares of authorized common stock, as adjusted, with 10,123 options outstanding at December 31, 2004. In fiscal 2004, the Company adopted a new Stock Option Plan that provided for the issuance of 142,857 incentive options and 61,224 non-incentive options of authorized common stock. As of December 31, 2004, all options under the 2004 Plan have been granted and will expire in fiscal 2014 unless otherwise exercised. The Company accounts for its stock option plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which provides a fair value-based method for valuing stock-based compensation that entities may use, which measures compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Compensation is then recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 permits entities to continue to account for stock options and similar equity instruments under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Entities that continue to account for stock options using APB Opinion No. 25 are required to make pro forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share, as if the fair value-based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. 9 Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the nine and three month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 4. Stock Option Plan (continued) ----------------- The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for the Plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the Plan. Had compensation cost for the Plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the Plan consistent with the accounting method utilized in SFAS No. 123, the Company's net earnings and earnings per share for the nine- and three-month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, would have been reported as the pro forma amounts indicated below: Nine months ended Three months ended December 31, December, 2004 2003 2004 2003 Net earnings (In thousands) As reported $ 1,354 $ 1,904 $ 403 $ 560 Stock-based compensation, net of tax (106) (27) (27) (27) ------- ------- ------- ------- Pro-forma $ 1,248 $ 1,877 $ 376 $ 533 ======= ======= ======= ======= Earnings per share Basic As reported $ .38 $ .51 $ .11 $ .15 Stock-based compensation, net of tax (.03) (.01) -- (.01) ------- ------- ------- ------- Pro-forma $ .35 $ .50 $ .11 $ .14 ======= ======= ======= ======= Diluted As reported $ .38 $ .51 $ .11 $ .15 Stock-based compensation, net of tax (.04) (.01) -- (.01) ------- ------- ------- ------- Pro-forma $ .34 $ .50 $ .11 $ .14 ======= ======= ======= ======= There were no options granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2004 and 204,081 options granted for the nine month period ended December 31, 2003.

A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plans as of and for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the nine months ended December 31, 2004 is presented below: Nine months ended Year ended December 31, March 31, 2004 2004 2003 Weighted- Weighted- Weighted- average average average exercise exercise exercise Shares price Shares price Shares price Outstanding at beginning of period 214,204 $ 13.84 28,666 $ 6.26 23,378 $ 3.31 Granted -- -- 204,081 13.95 10,123 11.67 Exercised -- -- (18,543) 3.31 (4,835) 3.31 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Outstanding at end of period 214,204 $ 13.84 214,204 $ 13.84 28,666 $ 6.26 ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== Options exercisable at period-end 50,939 $ 13.50 10,123 $ 11.67 28,666 $ 6.26 ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== Fair value of options granted $ 3.93 $ 3.17 ======== ======== 10 Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc.

Stock Option Plan (continued) ----------------- The following information applies to options outstanding at December 31, 2004: Number outstanding ................................ 214,204 Range of exercise prices .......................... $11.67 - $13.95 Weighted-average exercise price ................... $13.84 Weighted-average remaining contractual life ....... 8.5 years The fair value of options granted has been based on the Black Scholes pricing model using a dividend yield of 3.3% and 3.8%, expected volatility of 28.8% and 32.4%, and a risk-free interest rate of 4.38% and 3.70% for fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively. All options granted in fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2003 have expected lives of ten years. 5. Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements ------------------------------------------- In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued a revision to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based transactions. This Statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award, with limited exceptions. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award - the requisite service period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Employee share purchase plans will not result in recognition of compensation cost if certain conditions are met. Initially, the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of liability instruments will be measured based on current fair value; the fair value of that award will be remeasured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value during the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that period. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available). If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. Excess tax benefits, as defined by SFAS 123(R) will be recognized as an addition to additional paid in capital. Cash retained as a result of those excess tax benefits will be presented in the statement of cash flows as financing cash inflows. The write-off of deferred tax assets relating to unrealized tax benefits associated with recognized compensation cost will be recognized as income tax expense unless there are excess tax benefits from previous awards remaining in additional paid in capital to which it can be offset. Compensation cost is required to be recognized in the beginning of the first interim or annual period that begins after June 15, 2005, or July 1, 2005 as to the Company. Management believes the effect on operations will approximate the economic effects set forth in the pro-forma stock option disclosure set forth in Note 4 above. 11 ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Average Balance Sheet The following tables set forth certain information relating to the Company's average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated and the average yields earned and rates paid. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented.

Liquid assets, consisting of cash, interest-bearing deposits and investment securities, increased by $33.9 million, or 65.9%, to $85.4 million at December 31, 2004, mainly due to $13.0 million of liquid assets acquired in the Stebbins transaction and the purchase of $12.9 million in available for sale investment securities, both of which were partially offset by the maturing of $4.2 million of securities. The Company has increased its cash position to help continue to control interest rate risk. In addition, the flat yield curve has prompted the Company to keep more of its investments in short term assets. Although the Company has focused on high quality short-term commercial loan production, intense competition has limited originations and the Company has invested excess funds in short-term investment securities. Mortgage-backed securities decreased by $23.2 million, or 26.2%, to $65.2 million as a result of significant principal repayments due to the current interest rate environment. During the nine month period ended December 31, 2004, loans receivable increased $9.2 million, as $12.2 million of loans were acquired in the Stebbins acquisition. This increase in loans receivable was partially offset by loan sales of $3.2 million consisting primarily of long-term fixed rate residential loans in furtherance of management's interest rate risk strategy. Rather than reinvest funds in long-term, fixed rate and low yielding residential loans, management is currently investing in marketable securities and adjustable rate commercial loans. The composition of the loan portfolio changed during the nine month period ended December 31, 2004, due primarily to a net decrease of $9.1 million in residential mortgage loans and increased net originations of nonresidential mortgage loans totaling $9.4 million and commercial business loans totaling $6.3 million. The composition of the Company's loan portfolio at the specified dates is as follows: December 31, 2004 March 31, 2004 (Dollars in thousands) Mortgage loans: One-to four-family residential(1) $160,276 73.64% $171,736 81.98% Residential construction loans 4,111 1.89 2,914 1.39 Multi-family residential 7,928 3.64 6,800 3.25 Non-residential real estate/land(2) 27,818 12.78 18,439 8.80 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total mortgage loans 200,133 91.95 199,887 75.42 Other loans: Consumer loans(3) 4,696 2.16 3,156 1.50 Commercial business loans 12,813 5.87 6,471 3.08 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total other loans 17,509 8.05 9,627 4.58 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total loans before net items 217,642 100.00% 209,516 100.00% ======== ======== Less: Loans in process 1,405 2,579 Deferred loan origination fees 522 679 Allowance for loan losses 1,052 815 -------- -------- Total loans receivable, net $214,663 $205,443 ======== ======== Mortgage-backed securities, net(4) $ 65,230 $ 88,428 ======== ======== - ---------- (1) Includes equity loans collateralized by second mortgages in the aggregate amount of $20.7 million and $20.3 million as of December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. Such loans have been underwritten on substantially the same basis as the Company's first mortgage loans. (2) Includes land loans of $1.4 million and $575,000 as of December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. (3) Includes second mortgage loans of $1.8 million and $535,000 as of December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively. (4) Includes mortgage-backed securities designated as available for sale. 14 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from March 31, 2004 to December 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 (continued) - ---- Nonperforming and impaired loans amounted to $1.2 million at December 31, 2004, as compared with $747,000 in nonperforming and impaired loans at March 31, 2004. Such loans consisted, on both dates, of primarily residential mortgage loans and historically, the Company generally has not recognized losses on nonperforming loans secured by residential mortgages. The following table sets forth information regarding our past due, nonaccrual and impaired loans and real estate acquired through foreclosure as of December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004. December 31, March 31, 2004 2004 Past due loans 30-89 days: Mortgage loans: One- to four-family residential $1,711 $ 699 Nonresidential 482 -- Land 49 -- Non-mortgage loans: Commercial business loans 65 46 Consumer loans 121 11 ------ ------ 2,428 756 Non-accrual loans: Mortgage loans: One- to four-family residential 1,112 714 All other mortgage loans 81 24 Non-mortgage loans: Commercial business loans 7 -- Consumer 6 9 ------ ------ Total non-accrual loans 1,206 747 Accruing loans 90 days or more delinquent -- -- ------ ------ Total non-performing loans 1,206 747 Loans deemed impaired (1) -- -- ------ ------ Total non-performing and impaired loans 1,206 747 Total real estate acquired through foreclosure (2) 116 100 ------ ------ Total non-performing and impaired assets $1,322 $ 847 ====== ====== Total non-performing and impaired loans to net loans receivable 0.56% 0.36% ====== ====== Total non-performing and impaired loans to total assets 0.31% 0.20% ====== ====== Total non-performing and impaired assets to total assets 0.34% 0.23% ====== ====== - ---------- (1) Includes loans deemed impaired that are currently performing. (2) Represents the net book value of property acquired by the Company through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. These properties are recorded at the lower of the loan's unpaid principal balance or fair value less estimated selling expenses. In addition, the Company reclassified $1.3 million of the Stebbins portfolio as substandard. These loans are not delinquent, but until they can be restructured and supported by current financial statements, the Company will continue to classify them as substandard. 15 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from March 31, 2004 to December 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 (continued) - ---- Historically, the Company has had minimal loan losses charged off through the allowance. However, as a result of the Company's recent acquisition of Stebbins and the continuing growth in commercial lending, the Company may need to reevaluate its historical loss allowance computations. The following table sets forth the analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated. For the nine months ended For the year ended December 31, 2004 March 31, 2004 Loans receivable, net $ 214,663 $ 205,443 ========= ========= Average loans receivable, net $ 212,383 $ 214,174 ========= ========= Allowance balance (at beginning of period) 815 678 Charge-offs: Mortgage loans: One- to four-family (31) -- Residential construction -- -- Multi-family residential -- -- Non-residential real estate and land -- -- Other loans: Consumer (21) (65) Commercial (7) -- --------- --------- Gross charge-offs (59) (65) --------- --------- Recoveries: Mortgage loans: One- to four-family -- -- Residential construction -- -- Multi-family residential -- -- Non-residential real estate and land -- -- Other loans: Consumer 21 29 Commercial -- -- --------- --------- Gross recoveries 21 29 --------- --------- Net charge-offs (38) (36) --------- --------- Provision charged to operations 45 173 Stebbins acquisition 230 -- --------- --------- Allowance for loans losses balance (at end of period) $ 1,052 $ 815 ========= ========= Allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans receivable, net at end of period 0.49% 0.40% ========= ========= Net loans charged off as a percent of average loans receivable, net 0.02% 0.02% ========= ========= Ratio of allowance for loan losses to total non- performing assets at end of period 79.60% 96.22% ========= ========= Ratio of allowance for loan losses to non- performing loans at end of period 87.20% 109.10% ========= ========= 16 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from March 31, 2004 to December 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 (continued) - ---- Deposits at December 31, 2004, totaled $321.6 million, an increase of $29.8 million from $291.8 million at March 31, 2004, due primarily to the $24.8 million of deposits acquired from the Stebbins acquisition and an increase in deposits of $5.0 million. For most of the year, the Company elected not to price deposits aggressively and allowed some runoff in an attempt to keep its cost of funds down. The Company has recently become more competitive in pricing its deposits which is reflected in the increased balance of deposits. Stockholders' equity decreased by $2.4 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2004, due mainly to an unrealized loss on available for sale securities of $620,000, generally reflecting the recent increase in interest rates, dividends paid totaling $1.3 million and purchases of treasury stock totaling $2.3 million. These amounts were offset by $1.4 million in net earnings for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 and an increase of $342,000 due to the amortization of the stock benefit plans. Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Month Periods Ended December 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 and 2003 - ------------- General - ------- Net earnings totaled $1.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $550,000, or 28.9%, compared to the net earnings of $1.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003. Net earnings decreased due to a decrease in other income of $192,000, or 13.0%, due primarily to a $217,000 reduction in merchant fee income, which was partially offset by a $71,000 increase in gain on sale of loans. Finally, general, administrative and other expense increased $743,000, or 10.9%, due mainly to increased compensation and benefits expense, franchise tax expense, and occupancy and equipment expense. These earnings decreases were partially offset by a decrease in federal income tax expense of $344,000, or 41.1%. The Company has maintained its strategy to aggressively manage interest rate risk during the recent period of low interest rates. This strategy negatively affected earnings for the first nine months of the fiscal year. In addition, the Company has not been able to invest all of its excess cash in short-term, high quality loans and as a result, has invested the remaining excess funds in shorter term, lower yielding assets such as marketable securities. However, management believes that the investment of excess funds primarily in shorter term assets will help the Company in a rising interest rate environment. Interest Income - --------------- Interest income decreased $496,000, or 3.7%, to $13.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, compared to the same period in 2003. This decline was mainly due to an 8 basis point reduction in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 3.01% from 3.09% for the period ended December 31, 2003. The yield reduction was partially offset with an increase in the weighted-average balance of interest-earning assets of $10.3 million, or 2.9%, to a balance of $360.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. This reduction in the average yield on interest-earning assets reflects a general decrease in market rates, the refinancing of higher rate loans and the downward repricing of certain adjustable rate loans. In addition, as part of its interest rate risk strategy, the Company invested excess funds in shorter-term securities available for sale rather than long-term fixed rate loans. Although this strategy sacrifices short-term income since investment securities generally yield less than loans, it strengthens the Company's interest rate position and allows the Company to redeploy such assets in a rising rate environment. 17 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Month Periods Ended December 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 and 2003 (continued) - ------------- Interest Income (continued) - --------------- Interest income on loans declined $874,000, or 8.3%, for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, compared to the same period in 2003, due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average outstanding balance of loans period to period of $4.2 million, or 2.0%, coupled with a 42 basis-point decrease in the weighted average yield on loans to 6.05% for the 2004 period. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $37,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2004, compared to the same period in 2003, due primarily to principal repayments. The weighted average balance decreased by $9.7 million, or 11.3%, from the comparable 2003 period. The Company is reducing its emphasis on purchasing mortgage-backed securities with excess cash flow. The yield and the risk on these products relative to the duration has been adversely affected by the current demand for these products. The Company feels it can find other investment vehicles that will provide it enhanced results without increasing risk. Interest income on investment securities increased by $332,000, or 29.8%, during the 2004 period compared to the same period in 2003, reflecting an increase in the weighted average balance of $17.9 million, or 57.0%, to $49.2 million from $31.3 million during the comparable 2003 period, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield of 82 basis points to 3.92%. The increase in the weighted-average balance from period to period was due to the investment of excess funds in marketable securities as part of the Company's ongoing interest rate risk strategy discussed above. Interest income on interest-bearing deposits increased by $83,000, or 43.5%, for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, due primarily to an increase in the weighted average balance of $6.4 million, or 38.1%, compared to the 2003 period of $16.7 million. The increase in the weighted average balance was enhanced by an increase in the average yield of 6 basis points to an average yield of 1.58% compared to 1.52% for the nine months ended December 31, 2003. Interest Expense - ---------------- Interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 totaled $4.9 million, a decrease of $519,000, or 9.5%, compared to interest expense of $5.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003. The decrease resulted from a 26 basis point decrease in the average cost of funds to 1.96% for the 2004 period, offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits and borrowings outstanding of $9.6 million, or 2.9%, to $337.1 million for the period ended December 31, 2004. Interest expense on deposits totaled $4.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $368,000, or 8.1%, from the nine months ended December 31, 2003, as a result of a 25 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits to 1.78% for the 2004 period offset by an increase in the average balance outstanding of $13.3 million, or 4.5%, to $310.9 million for the 2004 period. The increase in the average balance outstanding was primarily due to the Stebbins acquisition and, to a lesser extent, deposit growth. Interest expense on borrowings totaled $787,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $151,000, or 16.1%, from the 2003 period, primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of borrowings of $3.7 million, or 12.5%, to an average outstanding balance of $26.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, coupled with a decrease in the average cost of borrowings to 4.0% from the average cost of 4.17% for the 2003 period. The decrease in the average balance was due to the repayment of advances as the Company was able to fund its operations through deposit growth. 18 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Month Periods Ended December 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 and 2003 (continued) - ------------- Net Interest Income - ------------------- Net interest income totaled $8.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $23,000 from the nine month period ended December 31, 2003. The average interest rate spread decreased to 2.88% for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 from 2.95% for the nine months ended December 31, 2003. The net interest margin decreased to 3.01% for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 from 3.09% for the nine months ended December 31, 2003. Provision for Losses on Loans - ----------------------------- The Company recorded a $45,000 provision for losses on loans for the nine month period ended December 31, 2004 as compared to $63,000 in 2003. To the best of management's knowledge, all known and inherent losses that are probable and which can be reasonably estimated have been recorded as of December 31, 2004 and 2003. Other Income - ------------ Other income, consisting primarily of earnings on the cash surrender value of life insurance, gains on sale of loans and service fees, and charges on deposit accounts, decreased by $192,000, or 13.0%, to $1.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, from $1.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease of $217,000 in merchant fee income and a decline of $12,000 in earnings on the cash surrender value of life insurance, offset by an increase of $71,000 on the gain on sale of loans in connection with management's interest rate risk strategy, as discussed previously. In addition, the Company recognized a $44,000 gain on sale of loans from the disposal of the credit card portfolio. Management chose to sell the credit card portfolio due to its minimal contribution to earnings and to avoid potential future chargeoffs. The decrease in merchant fee income was due to a significant transaction decrease from period to period. The Company may not experience the prior earnings level on merchant fee income in the future due to a significant decline in transactions. The decline of earnings from the increase of cash surrender value of life insurance is mainly due to a decrease in earnings on the policy investment. General, Administrative, and Other Expense - ------------------------------------------ General, administrative and other expense increased by $743,000, or 10.9%, to $7.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2003. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in employee compensation and benefits expense of $274,000, or 6.9%, an increase of $187,000, or 17.0% in occupancy and equipment, a $217,000, or 94.3%, increase in franchise taxes and a $67,000, or 4.6% increase in other operating expense. The increase in employee compensation and benefits was mainly due to the Stebbins National Bank acquisition, normal merit increases and increased benefit plan costs. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense was mainly due to the new computer operating system depreciation, coupled with the acquisition of Stebbins National Bank. The increase in franchise taxes was mainly due to the additional capital raised in the stock conversion in January 2003. Other operating expense increased mainly due to the increased expense of the Stebbin's acquisition. Federal Income Taxes - -------------------- The provision for federal income taxes was $492,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $344,000, or 41.1%, compared to the same period in 2003, primarily due to the $894,000, or 32.6%, decrease in earnings before federal income taxes. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 was 26.7% as compared to 30.5% for the same period in 2003. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 decreased mainly due to the additional income earned from the purchase of tax advantaged municipal securities. 19 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended December 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 and 2003 - ------------- General - ------- Net earnings totaled $403,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $157,000, or 28.0%, compared to the net earnings of $560,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2003. The decline in net earnings was primarily attributable to an increase in general, administrative and other expense of $277,000, or 12.0%, and a decrease in other income of $101,000, or 20.6%, offset primarily by an increase in net interest income of $128,000, or 4.9%, and a decrease in federal income taxes of $108,000, or 44.8%. As stated previously, the Company has maintained its strategy to aggressively manage interest rate risk. This strategy negatively affected earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2004. However, management believes that the investment of excess funds primarily in shorter term assets will help the Company in a rising interest rate environment. Interest Income - --------------- Interest income increased $103,000, or 2.4%, to $4.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004, compared to the same period in 2003. This increase was mainly due to an increase in the weighted-average balance on interest-earning assets to $361.8 million from $350.0 million for the period ended December 31, 2003. The yield declined 5 basis points to 4.94% at December 31, 2004 from 4.99% for the period ended December 31, 2003 . In addition, as part of its interest rate risk strategy, the Company invested excess funds in shorter-term securities available for sale rather than long-term fixed rate loans. Although this strategy sacrifices short-term income, it strengthens the Company's interest rate risk position and allows the Company to profitably redeploy such assets in a rising rate environment. Interest income on loans declined $30,000, or 0.9%, for the three months ended December 31, 2004, compared to the same period in 2003, due primarily to a 18 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield on loans outstanding offset by an increase in the weighted-average balance of loans period to period of $4.1 million to $214.3 million for the 2004 period. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $86,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2004, compared to the same period in 2003, due primarily to a decrease of $20.3 million , or 22.8%, in the weighted-average balance caused mainly by normal repayments. The decrease in the weighted average balance was offset by an increase of 36 basis points to a weighted average yield of 3.28% as compared to 2.92%, from the comparable 2003 period. The slowdown of prepayments causes premium amortization to decrease, resulting in an increase in interest income on mortgage-backed securities. The Company is reducing its emphasis on purchasing mortgage-backed securities with excess cash flow. The yield and the risk on these products relative to the duration has been adversely affected by the current demand for these products. The Company feels it can find other investment vehicles that will provide it similar results. Interest income on investment securities increased by $144,000, or 38.3%, during the 2004 period compared to the same period in 2003, reflecting an increase in the weighted average balance of $18.6 million, or 54.6%, to $52.5 million from $34.0 million during the comparable 2003 period, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield of 47 basis points to 3.96%. The increase in the weighted-average balance from period to period was due to the investment of excess funds in marketable securities as part of the Company's ongoing interest rate risk strategy discussed above. Interest income on interest-bearing deposits increased by $75,000, or 123.0%, for the three months ended December 31, 2004, due primarily to an increase in the average yield of 59 basis points to an average yield of 2.05% from an average yield of 1.46% for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 coupled with an increase in the weighted average balance of $9.8 million, or 58.7%, compared to the 2003 period of $16.7 million 20 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended December 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 and 2003 (continued) - ------------- Interest Expense - ---------------- Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2004 totaled $1.7 million, a decrease of $25,000, or 1.4%, from interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2003. The decrease resulted from a 14 basis point decrease in the average cost of funds to 1.99% for the 2004 period, offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits and borrowings outstanding of $17.3 million, or 5.3%, to $343.1 million for the period ended December 31, 2004. Interest expense on deposits totaled $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $40,000, or 2.8%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2003, as a result of an increase in the average balance outstanding of $22.3 million, or 7.5%, to $318.1 million for the 2004 period coupled with a 8 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits to 1.84% for the 2004 period. The increase in the average balance outstanding was primarily due to the Stebbins acquisition and, to a lesser extent, deposit growth. Interest expense on borrowings totaled $248,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $65,000, or 20.8%, from the 2003 period, primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of borrowings of $5.0 million to an average outstanding balance of $25.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004, coupled with a decrease in the average cost of borrowings to 3.97% from an average cost of 4.17% for the 2003 period. The decrease in the average balance was due to the repayment of advances as the Company was able to fund its operations through deposit growth. Net Interest Income - ------------------- Net interest income totaled $2.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $128,000, or 4.9%, from the three month period ended December 31, 2003. The average interest rate spread increased to 2.95% for the three months ended December 31, 2004 from 2.86% for the three months ended December 31, 2003. The net interest margin increased to 3.04% for the three months ended December 31, 2004 from 3.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2003. Provision for Losses on Loans - ----------------------------- The Company recorded a $15,000 provision for losses on loans for the three month period ended December 31, 2004. The Company did not record a provision for the comparable period in 2003. To the best of management's knowledge, all known and inherent losses that are probable and which can be reasonably estimated have been recorded as of December 31, 2004 and 2003. Other Income - ------------ Other income, consisting primarily of earnings on the cash surrender value of life insurance, gains on sale of loans, service fees, and charges on deposit accounts, decreased by $101,000, or 20.6%, to $389,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004, from $490,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2003. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease of $10,000 on the gain on sale of loans, a decrease of $15,000 in earnings on cash surrender value of life insurance and decrease of $81,000 in merchant fee income due to a significant decrease in transactions from period to period. The Company may not experience the prior earnings levels on merchant fee income in the future due to significant transaction decreases. 21 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended December 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 and 2003 (continued) - ------------- General, Administrative, and Other Expense - ------------------------------------------ General, administrative and other expense increased by $277,000, or 12.0%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2003. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in employee compensation and benefits expense of $90,000, or 6.6%, an $81,000, or 22.7%, increase in occupancy and equipment expense, a $74,000, or 97.4%, increase in franchise taxes and a $33,000, or 6.6%, increase in other operating expense. The increase in employee compensation and benefits was mainly due to the Stebbins National Bank acquisition, as well as normal merit increases and increased benefit plan costs. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense was mainly due to depreciation of the new computer operating system and increased expenses related to the Stebbins National Bank acquisition. The increase in franchise taxes was mainly due to the additional capital raised in the stock conversion in January 2003. The increase in other operating expenses was mainly due to the Stebbins costs related to operations before being consolidated onto the Wayne Savings data processing system and related costs. Federal Income Taxes - -------------------- The provision for federal income taxes was $133,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $108,000, or 44.8%, compared to the same period in 2003, primarily due to the $265,000, or 33.1%, decrease in earnings before federal income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2004, was 24.8% as compared to 30.1% for the same period in 2003. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2004 declined mainly due to income earned from the purchase of additional tax advantaged municipal securities.
