NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the nine and three month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 1. Basis of Presentation --------------------- The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 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, 2005. 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, 2005 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"). In October 2003, 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. 8 Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For nine and three month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 2. Principles of Consolidation (continued) --------------------------- Wayne Savings has eleven banking locations in Wayne, Holmes, Ashland, Medina and Stark counties. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. 3. Earnings Per Share ------------------ Basic earnings per common share are 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, 2005 2004 2005 2004 Weighted-average common shares outstanding (basic) 3,320,492 3,589,224 3,231,757 3,535,379 Dilutive effect of assumed exercise of stock options 17,747 31,763 9,778 32,929 --------- --------- --------- --------- Weighted-average common shares outstanding (diluted) 3,338,239 3,620,987 3,241,535 3,568,308 ========= ========= ========= ========= All outstanding options were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the nine and three month periods ending December 31, 2005 and 2004. 4. Stock Option Plan ----------------- The Company has a 1993 Stock Option Plan that provided for the issuance of 196,390 shares of authorized common stock, as adjusted, with 2,567 options outstanding at December 31, 2005. 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, 2005, all options under the 2004 Plan have been granted, are subject to exercise at the discretion of the grantees, and will expire in fiscal 2014 unless otherwise exercised. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), "Share Based Payment." SFAS No. 123(R) requires the recognition of compensation related stock option awards based on the fair value of the option award at the grant date. Compensation cost is then recognized over the vesting period. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company modified 163,265 stock option awards under the 2004 Stock Option Plan, eliminating the reload options contained therein and immediately vesting these shares. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R), the modification represents a new grant. Accordingly, in accordance with the modified prospective application method under SFAS No. 123(R), the Company recognized compensation costs representing the fair value of the option awards at the date of modification. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company accounted for its stock option plans pursuant SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which also provided for a fair value-based method for measuring compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. Compensation was then recognized over the service period, generally defined as the vesting period. 9 Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For nine and three month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 4. Stock Option Plan (continued) ----------------- Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 permits entities to continue to account for stock options using the 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 were 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. Wayne Savings had continued to account for stock based compensation in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), no compensation cost was recognized for the Plan in the nine and three month periods ending December 31, 2004. 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(R), the Company's net earnings and earnings per share for the nine and three month periods ended December 31, 2004 would have been reported as the pro forma amounts indicated below: Nine months ended Three months ended December 31, December 31, 2004 2004 Net earnings (In thousands) As reported $ 1,354 $ 403 Stock-based compensation, net of tax (81) (27) --------- --------- Pro-forma $ 1,273 $ 376 ========= ========= Earnings per share Basic As reported $ .38 $ .11 Stock-based compensation, net of tax (.03) -- --------- --------- Pro-forma $ .35 .11 ========= ========= Diluted As reported $ .37 $ .11 Stock-based compensation, net of tax (.02) -- --------- --------- Pro-forma $ .35 $ .11 ========= ========= There were no options granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2005 or December 31, 2004. Such pro-forma amounts do not give effect to the Company's acceleration of vesting for outstanding options in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. 10 Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc.

Liquid assets, consisting of cash, interest-bearing deposits and investment securities, decreased by $14.2 million, or 13.8%, to $88.6 million at December 31, 2005 mainly due to a reduction in federal funds sold of $19.4 million, partially offset by purchases of investment securities totaling $7.4 million. Mortgage-backed securities decreased by $6.9 million, or 11.5%, to $53.4 million caused by the prepayments management anticipated when purchasing these relatively shorter term securities. Such prepayments were partially offset by purchases of mortgage-backed securities during the current nine month period totaling $16.2 million. During the nine month period ended December 31, 2005 loans receivable increased $16.2 million as the Bank originated and retained $40.2 million of loans and received principal repayments of $24.1 million. Rather than reinvest funds from sales of and repayments on loans in long-term, fixed rate and low yielding residential loans, the Bank's lending division originated shorter-term adjustable rate commercial loans. The Company believes that investing in shorter-term and adjustable-rate commercial loans favorably positions the Company in an increasing interest rate environment. The composition of the loan portfolio has changed during the current nine month period due to a net decrease of $6.2 million in residential and construction mortgage loans, which was more than offset by increases in nonresidential real estate loans of $17.0 million and commercial loans of $5.2 million.

Such loans have been underwritten on substantially the same basis as the Company's first mortgage loans. (2) Includes land loans of $879,000 and $1.4 million as of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2005, respectively. (3) Includes second mortgage loans of $901,000 and $1.4 million as of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2005, respectively. (4) Includes mortgage-backed securities designated as held to maturity. 14 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Nonperforming and impaired loans amounted to $893,000 at December 31, 2005, as compared with $906,000 in nonperforming and impaired loans at March 31, 2005. Such loans consisted, on both dates, of primarily residential mortgage loans. Historically, the Company generally has not recognized losses on nonperforming loans secured by residential mortgages. The following table sets forth information regarding past due, nonaccrual and impaired loans and real estate acquired through foreclosure as of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2005.

The following table sets forth the analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

Certificates of deposit grew by $14.8 million, coupled with $6.5 million of growth in the commercial sweep program which was initiated during fiscal 2006, a $2.6 million increase in NOW accounts and money-market deposit growth of $1.9 million. Approximately $17.5 million of the aforementioned deposit growth resulted from transfers from other Bank deposit types. Borrowings totaled $30.5 million at December 31, 2005, as compared with $40.0 million at March 31, 2005. The Company was able to repay the short-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances during the December 31, 2005 nine month period primarily with excess funds from maturing short-term investments. During the period, the Company utilized overnight advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank to supplement liquidity while introducing new deposit products in the market. As these new deposit products increase, the reliance on overnight borrowings is anticipated to decline. 16 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from March 31, 2005 to December 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 (continued) - ---------------- Stockholders' equity decreased by $4.7 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2005, due mainly to the purchases of treasury stock totaling $5.0 million, dividends of $1.2 million and an increase in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities of $42,000. These amounts were offset by $1.1 million in net earnings for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 and proceeds from the exercise of stock options totaling $367,000. Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Month Periods Ended December 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 and 2004 - ------------- General - ------- Net earnings totaled $1.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $276,000, or 20.4%, compared to the net earnings of $1.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The decline in net earnings was primarily attributable to an increase in general, administrative and other expense of $916,000, or 12.1%. This increase in expense was partially offset by an increase in net interest income after provision for losses on loans of $395,000, or 4.9%, and a decrease in the federal income tax provision of $211,000, or 42.9%. The Company has maintained its strategy to aggressively manage interest rate risk. This strategy has favorably affected net interest income for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. Management believes that the continued investment of excess funds primarily in shorter term assets will help the Company in the current interest rate environment by providing flexibility to redeploy such assets in higher yielding loans and other investments should interest rates continue to rise. Interest Income - --------------- Interest income increased $1.4 million, or 10.5%, to $14.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. This increase was mainly due to an increase in the weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.27% from 4.84% for the period ended December 31, 2004 coupled with an increase in the weighted average balance of $5.2 million. The yield increase was primarily due to the Federal Reserve raising the prime rate 2.0% over the past year and the corresponding beneficial impact on the Company's investment securities and interest-bearing deposits and, to a lesser extent, loans. The Company purposefully invested excess funds in shorter-term securities available for sale rather than long-term fixed rate loans. Although this strategy sacrificed short-term income, it strengthens the Company's interest rate position and allows the Company to redeploy such assets in the current rising rate environment. Interest income on loans increased $710,000, or 7.4%, for the nine months ended December 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to an increase in the weighted-average balance of loans period to period of $7.3 million to $219.7 million for the 2005 period coupled with an 23 basis point increase in the weighted average yield on loans outstanding. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $268,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to a decrease of $21.8 million, or 28.6%, in the weighted-average balance caused mainly by prepayments management anticipated when purchasing these relatively shorter-term securities. The decrease in the weighted average balance was offset by an increase of 56 basis points to a weighted average yield of 3.59% for the 2005 period as compared to 3.03%, for the comparable 2004 period. Interest income on investment securities increased by $851,000, or 58.9%, during the 2005 period compared to the same period in 2004, reflecting an increase in the weighted average balance of $27.7 million, or 56.4%, to $76.9 million from $49.2 million during the comparable 2004 period. As part of management's interest rate risk management strategy, mortgage backed security payments were reinvested in shorter duration investment securities. 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, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 and 2004 (continued) - ------------------------- Interest income on interest-bearing deposits increased by $77,000, or 28.1%, for the nine months ended December 31, 2005, due primarily to an increase in the average yield of 154 basis points to an average yield of 3.12% from an average yield of 1.58% for the nine months ended December 31, 2004, which was partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average balance of $8.1 million, or 35.0%, compared to the 2004 period of $23.1 million. The increase in average yield was due to the increases in short-term market interest rates. Interest Expense Interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 totaled $6.0 million, an increase of $1.0 million , or 20.6%, from interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The increase resulted from an increase in the average balance of deposits and borrowings outstanding of $14.5 million, or 4.3%, to $351.6 million for the period ended December 31, 2005 coupled with a 30 basis point increase in the average cost of funds to 2.26% for the 2005 period. Interest expense on deposits totaled $5.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $1.0 million, or 25.1%, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2004, as a result of an increase in the average balance outstanding of $13.4 million, or 4.3%, to $324.3 million for the 2005 period coupled with a 36 basis point increase in the average cost of deposits to 2.14% for the 2005 period. Interest expense on borrowings totaled $764,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $23,000, or 2.9%, from the 2004 period, primarily due to a decrease on the weighted average yield of 27 basis points to an average yield of 3.73% for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. Net Interest Income - ------------------- Net interest income totaled $8.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $350,000, or 4.3%, from the nine month period ended December 31, 2004. The average interest rate spread increased to 3.01% for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 from 2.88% for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The net interest margin increased to 3.10% for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 from 3.01% for the nine months ended December 31, 2004. Provision for Losses on Loans - ----------------------------- The Company did not record any provision for losses on loans for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. For the period ended December 31, 2004, management recorded a $45,000 provision for losses on loans. As discussed above, loan balances increased during the period. Based on management's analysis of portfolio performance, internal risk ratings, economic factors and peer group statistics, management concluded that no provision was necessary at this time. 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, 2005. There can be no assurances that additions to the allowance for loan losses or reductions in net carrying values of other real estate owned will not be necessary in future periods. 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, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 and 2004 (continued) - ------------------------- Other Income - ------------ Other income, consisting primarily of increases in the cash surrender value of life insurance, the pending receipt of life insurance proceeds, gains on sale of loans, service fees, and charges on deposit accounts increased $34,000, or 2.6%, for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 as compared with the nine months ending December 31, 2004. Gain on sale of loans was down $94,000, or 58.0%, mainly due the sale of the credit card portfolio resulting in a gain of $44,000 in July 2004. No comparable event occurred during the 2005 period. In addition, more competitive pricing in the 2005 period resulted in a lower gain on the sale of loans. The decrease in cash surrender value of life insurance was primarily due to a lower interest rate earned on these assets during the period. The increase of $80,000 in service fees, charges and other operating income which was mainly comprised of trust income of $49,000 and increased fees due to increased volume. General, Administrative, and Other Expense - ------------------------------------------ General, administrative and other expense increased by $916,000, or 12.1%, to $8.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2004. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in employee compensation and benefits expense of $824,000, or 19.4%, coupled with an increase in occupancy and equipment charges of $125,000, or 9.7%, and an increase other operating expense of $21,000, or 1.4%. These expense increases were partially offset by a reduction in franchise tax expense of $53,000, or 11.9%, due to the reduction of taxable equity capital as a result of the stock repurchase program. The increase in employee compensation and benefits totaling $486,000 was due to the addition of the Stebbins branch, the expansion of personnel needed to enhance our commercial lending department and the establishment of a trust department. The remaining increase in employee compensation and benefits of $421,000 resulted from a pension expense arising from the death of the Company's former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and the retirement of the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. These increases were partially offset with a reduction of $83,000 in the costs of the Employee Stock Option Plan. The increase in other occupancy operating expense was primarily due to additional vendor support and data connectivity upgrades needed to facilitate operations. The other operating expenses increased mainly due to pro-rata cost increases. Federal Income Taxes - -------------------- The provision for federal income taxes was $281,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $211,000, or 42.9%, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to a $487,000, or 26.4%, decrease in earnings before federal income taxes. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2005, was 20.7% as compared to 26.7% for the same period in 2004. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 declined mainly due to the beneficial effects of income earned from the purchase of tax advantaged municipal securities and earnings on the cash surrender value of life insurance. Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended December 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 and 2004 - ------------- General - ------- Net earnings totaled $171,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $232,000, or 57.6%, compared to the net earnings of $403,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. The decline in net earnings was primarily attributable to an increase in general, administrative and other expense of $594,000, or 22.9%, offset with a decrease in federal income taxes of $159,000, or 119.5%, an increase in net interest income after provision for losses on loans of $125,000, or 4.6%, and an increase in total other income of $78,000, or 20.1%. 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, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 and 2004 (continued) - ------------------------- Interest Income - --------------- Interest income increased $516,000, or 11.6%, to $5.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. This increase was mainly due to an increase in the weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.44% from 4.94% for the period ended December 31, 2004. The yield increase was primarily due to the Federal Reserve raising the prime rate 2.0% over the past year and the corresponding beneficial effect on the Company's investment securities and interest-bearing deposits and, to a lesser extent, loans. Interest income on loans increased $379,000, or 11.7%, for the three months ended December 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily an increase in the weighted average balance of loans period to period of $12.9 million, or 6.0%, to $227.2 million for the 2005 period coupled with an increase in the weighted average yield of 32 basis points to 6.38%. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $79,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, due primarily to a decrease of $17.8 million, or 25.9%, in the weighted-average balance caused mainly by prepayments. The decrease in the weighted average balance was offset by an increase of 53 basis points to a weighted average yield of 3.81% as compared to 3.28%, from the comparable 2004 period. The slowdown of prepayments year over year resulted in a reduction of premium amortization and a corresponding increase in interest income on mortgage-backed securities. Interest income on investment securities increased by $243,000, or 46.7%, during the 2005 period compared to the same period in 2004, reflecting an increase in the weighted average balance of $23.4 million, or 44.5%, to $75.9 million from $52.5 million during the comparable 2004 period, coupled with an increase in the average yield to 4.02%. As part of management's interest rate risk management strategy, mortgage backed security payments were reinvested in shorter duration investment securities. Interest income on interest-bearing deposits decreased by $27,000, or 19.9%, for the three months ended December 31, 2005, due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average balance of $14.2 million, or 53.4%, offset with an increase in the average yield of 149 basis points to an average yield of 3.54% from an average yield of 2.05% for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. The average balance of short term investments decreased due to maturities that were reinvested in higher yielding investment securities. Interest Expense - ---------------- Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2005 totaled $2.1 million, an increase of $406,000, or 23.7%, from interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The increase resulted from an increase in the average balance of deposits and borrowings outstanding of $10.6 million, or 3.1%, to $353.6 million for the period ended December 31, 2005 and an 40 basis point increase in the average cost of funds to 2.39% for the 2005 period. Interest expense on deposits totaled $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $392,000, or 26.8%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2004, as a result of an increase in the average balance outstanding of $8.0 million, or 2.5%, to $326.1 million for the 2005 period coupled with a 44 basis point increase in the average cost of deposits to 2.28% for the 2005 period. Interest expense on borrowings totaled $262,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $14,000, or 5.6%, from the 2004 period, primarily due to an increase on the weighted average balance of $2.6 million, or 10.2%, offset by a decrease in weighted average yield of 17 basis points to an average yield of 3.80% for the three months ended December 31, 2005. 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, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005 and 2004 (continued) - ------------------------- Net Interest Income - ------------------- Net interest income totaled $2.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $110,000, or 4.0%, from the three month period ended December 31, 2004. The average interest rate spread increased to 3.05% for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from 2.95% for the three months ended December 30, 2004. The net interest margin increased to 3.13% for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from 3.04% for the three months ended December 31, 2004. Provision for Losses on Loans - ----------------------------- The Company did not record any provision for losses on loans for the period ending December 31, 2005. For the period ended December 31, 2004, management recorded a $15,000 provision for losses on loans. Based on management's analysis of portfolio performance, internal risk ratings, economic factors and peer group statistics, management concluded that no provision was necessary at this time. 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, 2005. There can be no assurances that additions to the allowance for loan losses or reductions in net carrying values of other real estate owned will not be necessary in future periods. Other Income - ------------ Other income, consisting primarily of increases in the cash surrender value of life insurance, pending life insurance proceeds, gains on sale of loans, service fees, and charges on deposit accounts increased by $78,000, or 20.1%, for the three months ended December 31, 2005 as compared with the quarter ending December 31, 2004. Gain on sale of loans declined $21,000 mainly due to decreased sales of loans. This reduction was more than offset by a $39,000 increase in service fees, charges and other operating income, comprised mainly of trust income. General, Administrative, and Other Expense - ------------------------------------------ General, administrative and other expense increased by $594,000, or 22.9%, to $3.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2004. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in employee compensation and benefits expense of $495,000, or 33.9%, coupled with increases of $71,000, or 16.2%, in occupancy and equipment expense and other operating expense of $45,000, or 8.5%. These increased expenses were offset with a reduction in franchise tax expense of $17,000, or 11.3%. The increase in employee compensation and benefits of $495,000 resulted mainly from an unanticipated pension expense as a result of the death of the Company's former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the retirement of the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer coupled with increased salary costs due to normal merit increases. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense was primarily due to additional vendor support and data connectivity upgrades needed to facilitate operations. The reduction in franchise tax is due to the reduction of taxable equity capital as a result of the stock repurchase programs. Federal Income Taxes (Credit) - ----------------------------- The federal income tax credit was $26,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $159,000 compared to the provision for the same period in 2004. This was primarily due to the $391,000, or 72.9%, decrease in earnings before federal income taxes. The difference in the effective tax rate of benefits from the 34% statutory rate is mainly due to the beneficial effects of earnings from cash surrender value on life insurance and other tax-exempt obligations. 21 Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc.
