FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 (1) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, the results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and cash flows for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. All adjustments to the financial statements were normal and recurring in nature. These results have been determined on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation (the "Company") as of June 30, 2005 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. The condensed consolidated financial statements are those of the Company and Peoples Savings Bank of Troy (the "Bank"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders. (2) Earnings Per Share The following table is for the three and six-month periods ending December 31, 2005 and 2004 and reflects the weighted average number of shares of common stock for both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") as well as the dilutive effect of stock options. THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, --------------------- --------------------- 2005 2004 2005 2004 --------- --------- --------- --------- Weighted average number of common shares outstanding (basic EPS) 7,322,989 7,273,859 7,331,629 7,273,498 Dilutive effect of stock options 132,061 111,880 114,408 129,424 --------- --------- --------- --------- Weighted average number of common shares and equivalents outstanding (diluted EPS) 7,455,050 7,385,739 7,446,037 7,402,922 ========= ========= ========= ========= Options to purchase 135,370 and 193,870 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $6.81 to $8.13 and $4.20 to $8.13 per share were outstanding at December 31, 2005 and 2004, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because such exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares. 7 (3) Change in Accounting Principle Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123 (R)"). SFAS 123 (R) addresses all forms of share-based payment awards, including shares under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. The Company has elected the modified prospective application and, as a result, has recorded approximately $9,000 and $22,500 in compensation expense related to vested stock options less estimated forfeitures for the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2005. Certain disclosures required by SFAS 123 (R) have been omitted due to their immaterial nature. (4) Stock Options The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan. Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company accounted for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation. The pro-forma effect on income for the period presented includes the effect of forfeitures.

Components of the net periodic benefits costs of the plan are as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, ------------------ ---------------- 2005 2004 2005 2004 ---- ---- ---- ---- (amounts in thousands) Service cost $ 24 $ 24 $ 48 $ 48 Expected return on plan assets (14) (10) (28) (20) Interest cost 21 19 42 38 Amortization of prior service cost (1) (1) (2) (2) Recognized net actuarial loss 4 4 8 8 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net periodic cost $ 34 $ 36 $ 68 $ 72 ==== ==== ==== ==== Actual contributions to the plan $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 On December 5, 2005, the Bank's Board of Directors took action to freeze the Plan. No additional benefits will accrue to Plan participants as a result of this action. A curtailment loss in accordance with FAS 88 was not recorded due to the fact that it was immaterial to the financial statements. (6) Merger Agreement The Company and the Bank entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated September 28, 2005, with MainsSource Financial Group, Inc. A copy of the Merger Agreement was included as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on September 29, 2005, a copy of which can be obtained free of charge at www.sec.gov. The transaction is expected to close in the second calendar quarter of 2006; however, it is subject to a number of conditions precedent. While the Company believes the transaction will occur, there can be no assurance. If the transaction is terminated, the Company could incur certain costs as discussed in the Agreement and Plan of Merger. Upon the closing of the proposed transaction, the Company will record a number of charges including certain change-in-control payments to certain officers that will have a material impact on the consolidated financial Statements. As of December 31, 2005, no accrual had been made for these charges. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. GENERAL Peoples Ohio Financial Corporation (the "Company") is based in west central Ohio and is the parent company of Peoples Savings Bank of Troy (the "Bank"). The Company was formed during the year ended June 30, 2002 to provide various benefits to the Bank, as well as to take advantage of a more effective structure for expanded financial activities. The Bank, a state chartered savings bank, was originally chartered in 1890. The Bank is primarily engaged in attracting deposits from Miami and northern Montgomery counties and originating mortgage loans throughout those same areas. All references to the Company include the Bank unless otherwise indicated. On September 28, 2005, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with MainSource Financial Group, Inc. The Merger Agreement provides that the Company will be merged with and into MainSource, with MainSource being the surviving corporation. The Bank shall immediately thereafter merge with and into a to-be-formed interim Ohio commercial bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of MainSource. As a result of the transactions, the Bank will become a wholly owned subsidiary of MainSource. The Company's stockholders will receive, in exchange for shares of Company stock, shares of MainSource common stock or cash, or a combination of stock and cash, subject to MainSource's ability to limit such stock consideration to 75% of the total consideration. The stock portion of the consideration furnished to the Company's shareholders is intended to qualify as a tax-free transaction. The transaction is subject to certain conditions as further described in the Merger Agreement, including the prior approval of the Company's shareholders at a future special shareholders meeting to be called by the Company's Board of Directors, and applicable regulatory authorities. The merger is anticipated to close in the second calendar quarter of 2006. A copy of the Merger Agreement was included as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on September 29, 2005, a copy of which can be obtained free of charge at www.sec.gov. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS In addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q may include certain forward-looking statements based upon current management expectations. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those management expectations. Factors that could cause future results to vary from current management expectations include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, changes in tax policies, rates and regulations of federal, state and local tax authorities, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, the cost of funds, demand for loan products, demand for financial services, competition, changes in the composition or quality of the Bank's loan and investment portfolios, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, and other economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices. A further description of the risks and uncertainties to the business are included in detail under the caption "Liquidity and Capital Resources of the Company and the Bank." APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reporting practices followed within the thrift industry. The application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Management believes the allowance for loan loss policy is a critical accounting policy requiring significant estimates and assumptions in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The allowance for loan losses provides coverage for probable losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses each quarter based on changes, if any, in underwriting activities, the loan portfolio composition (including product mix and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), trends in loan performance, regulatory guidance and economic factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires the use of significant management estimates. Many factors can affect management's estimates of specific and expected losses, including volatility of default probabilities, rating 10 migrations, loss severity and economic and political conditions. The allowance is increased through provisions charged to operating earnings and reduced by net charge-offs. The Company determines the amount of the allowance based on relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. The allowance recorded for commercial loans is based on reviews of individual credit relationships and an analysis of the migration of commercial loans and actual loss experience. The allowance recorded for homogeneous consumer loans is based on an analysis of loan mix, risk characteristics of the portfolio, fraud loss and bankruptcy experiences, and historical losses, adjusted for current trends, for each homogeneous category or group of loans. The allowance for credit losses relating to impaired loans is based on the loan's observable market price, the collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans, or the discounted cash flows using the loan's effective interest rate. Regardless of the extent of the Company's analysis of customer performance, portfolio trends or risk management processes, certain inherent but undetected losses are probable within the loan portfolio. This is due to several factors including inherent delays in obtaining information regarding a customer's financial condition or changes in their unique business conditions, the judgmental nature of individual loan evaluations, collateral assessments and the interpretation of economic trends. Volatility of economic or customer-specific conditions affecting the identification and estimation of losses for larger non-homogeneous credits and the sensitivity of assumptions utilized to establish allowances for homogenous groups of loans are among other factors. The Company estimates a range of inherent losses related to the existence of these exposures. The estimates are based upon the Company's evaluation of imprecision risk associated with the commercial and consumer allowance levels and the estimated impact of the current economic environment. Other accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders, and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total consolidated assets of the Company at December 31, 2005 were $204,042,000, as compared to $199,881,000 at June 30, 2005, an increase of $4,161,000 or 2.1%. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS declined $3,088,000 or 34.3%, from $8,992,000 at June 30, 2005 to $5,904,000 at December 31, 2005. Management uses its short-term "cash accounts" to hold funds generated from these regular banking activities as it evaluates investment (loan) alternatives. 11 NET LOANS increased $7.5 million or 4.4 %, from $171,187,000 at June 30, 2005, to $178,696,000 at December 31, 2005. The following table illustrates changes in the Bank's loan portfolio by category for each period presented.

This was the result of a provision for loan losses of $60,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2005. The ratio of the Company's allowance for loan losses to gross loans at December 31, 2005 increased slightly to 0.42% from 0.41% at June 30, 2005. The allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb loan losses based on management's continuing review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and its judgment regarding the impact of economic conditions on the portfolio. The following table compares non-performing loans, which are loans past due 90 days or more and non-accruing loans, at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005. December 31, June 30, 2005 2005 ------------ -------- Past due 90+ and still accruing $ 238,000 $334,000 Non-accrual 1,014,000 415,000 ---------- -------- Total non-performing loans $1,252,000 $748,000 ========== ======== The Bank's overall asset quality declined during the period with non-performing loans increasing $504,000, from $748,000 at June 30, 2005 to $1,252,000 at December 31, 2005. Loans past-due 90 days or more and still accruing decreased from $334,000 at June 30, 2005 to $238,000 at December 31, 2005. The decline was attributable to the classification of three delinquent relationships totaling $146,000, as non-accrual during the period (see further discussion below), and the sale during the period of property securing a delinquent loan ($123,000) resulting the full repayment of the past-due loan. These declines were offset by deterioration in six other credit relationships. Five are single-family residential properties in which the Bank holds a first mortgage position totaling $265,000 ($57,000, $91,000, $71,000, $31,000 and $15,000). The sixth is a commercial relationship totaling $25,000 in which the Bank holds a first mortgage position. Note: At June 30, 2005, one loan ($276,000) was designated as "non-accrual" although it was less than 30-days past due. Non-accrual loans increased $599,000 during the period from $415,000 at June 30, 2005, to $1,014,000 at December 31, 2005. The increase was attributable to the designation of four relationships as non-accrual. The first relationship ($52,000 and $20,000), is secured by first and second mortgages on the borrower's personal residence, which is valued at $86,000. The second loan ($55,000), is secured by a first mortgage on the borrower's personal residence, which is valued at $77,000. The third relationship ($31,000), is secured by a first mortgage on commercial real estate, valued at $90,000, respectively. The fourth relationship ($453,000), is secured by a first 12 mortgage on commercial real estate, which is valued at $760,000. Management continues to work closely with these borrowers to bring these loans current. The ratio of the Company's allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 62.7% and 96.9% at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively. Management believes that the problems with these loans are isolated and not indicative of the loan portfolio in total. DEPOSITS decreased $7,412,000, or 5.6%, from $126,520,000 at June 30, 2005 to $119,108,000 at December 31, 2005. The following table illustrates changes in the various types of deposits for each period presented. BALANCE BALANCE DECEMBER 31, JUNE 30, CHANGE CHANGE 2005 2005 ($000'S) (%) ------------ -------- --------- ------ (000'S) (000'S) Noninterest bearing accounts $ 11,675 $ 14,620 $ (2,945) 20.1% NOW accounts 30,440 33,510 (3,070) (9.2) Super NOW accounts 1,087 1,271 (184) (14.5) Passbook accounts 20,519 24,049 (3,530) (14.7) Money market accounts 11,011 12,400 (1,389) (11.2) Certificates of deposit 44,376 40,670 3,706 9.1 -------- -------- -------- Total deposits $119,108 $126,520 ($7,412) (5.9)% ======== ======== ======== The decrease in NOW accounts was primarily attributable to lower account balances being maintained in public fund deposits, which represent the collateralized balances of local municipalities, school boards and other government agencies. This decrease in public fund deposits was primarily the result of the timing of real estate tax receipts by the local municipalities, many of which were collected during June, 2005 and transferred out of such public fund deposit accounts subsequent to June 30, 2005. The decline in all other transaction and savings deposit accounts was attributable to customers migrating from lower yielding deposit accounts to certificates of deposit in order to take advantage of higher yields. TOTAL STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY increased from $24,925,000 at June 30, 2005, to $25,325,000 at December 31, 2005. The increase was the result of $990,000 in net earnings and $110,000, in net changes related to the company's option plan and the exercise of options during the period ended December 31, 2005, offset by $513,000 in dividends paid to the Company's stockholders, a $35,000 increase in the unrealized loss on securities available for sale and $153,000 related to the net change in equity related to the Company's ESOP, during the period ended December 31, 2005. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004 The Company reported earnings of $990,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $128,000, or 14.8%, from the $862,000 reported for the same period in 2004. Basic and fully diluted earnings per share were $0.14 for the six months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $0.01 or 8.3% in comparison to the $0.12 for both basic and fully diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2004. The Company's return on average assets was 0.98% for the six months ended December 31, 2005 compared to 0.90% for the same period in 2004. Return on average equity was7.90% for the six months ended December 31, 2005, compared to 7.09% for the same period in 2004. NET INTEREST INCOME was $3,756,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $270,000 or 7.7% when compared to the $3,486,000 reported for six months ended December 31, 2004. Total interest income was $5,999,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $536,000, or 9.8% from the $5,463,000 reported during the six months ended December 31, 2004. This increase in interest income was partially offset by a $266,000 or 13.5% increase in interest expense from $1,977,000 for the six months ended December 31 2004, to $2,243,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005. Average loans outstanding increased from $155,000,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2004, to $178,000,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2005. This increase was the result of strong demand for residential construction, commercial real estate and home equity loans during the period and a continued effort by management to grow this shorter-term portion of its loan portfolio. The increase in average loans outstanding was 13 mitigated by the continued low interest rate environment's impact on the average yield of the Company's loan portfolio. Management noted that the average yield on the Company's loan portfolio declined 10 basis points from 6.45% during the six months ended December 31, 2004 to 6.35% during the six months ended December 31, 2005. Interest expense was $2,243,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005, $266,000 or 13.5%, greater than the $1,977,000 recorded for the six months ended December 31 2004. While interest expense on all types of deposits grew, this increase was primarily attributable to the increase in interest paid on certificates of deposit. Interest expense on certificates of deposit was $669,000, $338,000 or 102.1% higher than the $331,000 recorded in six months ended December 31, 2004. The average balance of certificates of deposit increased by $13,274,000 or 56.2% from $23,606,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2004, to $36,880,000 for six months ended December 31, 2005. In addition to this increase in average certificates of deposit outstanding, the average rate paid on those certificates increased 78 basis points, from 2.82% during the six months ended December 31, 2004, to 3.60% during the six months ended December 31 2005. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by a decline in interest expense paid on FHLB advances. Interest expense paid on FHLB advances was $1,252,000, for the six months ended December 31, 2005, $159,000 or 11.3% lower than the $1,411,000 recorded in the six months ended December 31, 2004. While the average balance of FHLB advances remained fairly stable, increasing $927,000, from $55,320,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2004 to $56,247,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2005, the average rate paid on those advances declined 64 basis points, from 5.06% during the six months ended December 31 2004, to 4.42% during the same period in 2005. THE PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES was $60,000 for six months ended December 31, 2005 and the same period in 2004. The provision for both periods reflects management's analysis of the Bank's loan portfolio based on information that is currently available to it at such time. In particular, management considers the level of non-performing loans and potential problem loans. Net charge-offs for the six months ended December 31, 2005 were $0 compared to $270,000 during the same period in 2004. While management believes that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient based on information currently available to it, no assurances can be made that future events, conditions, or regulatory directives will not result in increased provisions for loan losses which may adversely effect income. NONINTEREST INCOME was $1,171,000 for six months ended December 31, 2005, $134,000 or 12.9% greater than the $1,037,000 reported for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The increase was almost entirely attributable to a $121,000 gain on the sale of the Bank's credit card portfolio during the period. NONINTEREST EXPENSE was $3,415,000 for six months ended December 31, 2005, $234,000 or 7.4% higher than the $3,181,000 reported for the six months ended December 31, 2004. Increases in salaries and employee benefits were primarily responsible for the increase: salaries and employee benefits increased $245,000 or 17.3% and professional services increased $126,000 or 73.7%. These increases in noninterest expense were partially offset by a decline in data processing fees of $50,000 or 14.4%, a decline in State of Ohio franchise taxes of $36,000 or 24.0% and a decline in other noninterest expense of $49,000 or 7.4%. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was due to the addition of a new commercial lending officer and a banking center manager late in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005. The balance of the increase in salary and employee benefits was due to regular annual increases. The increase in other professional services was attributable to services provided in conjunction with the Company's pending sale. Partially offsetting these increases were declines in data processing fees and State of Ohio franchise taxes. The decline in data processing fees were the result of fees charged by one of the trust department's third-party service providers in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 that were not incurred in the current period. The decline in State of Ohio franchise taxes was the result of strategies implemented in the previous year to lower the Company's franchise tax expense. The decline in other noninterest expense, as well as, several of the other noninterest expense categories was the result of management's continued focus on controlling the Bank's noninterest expense. TOTAL INCOME TAX EXPENSE was $462,000 (an effective tax rate of 31.8%) for the six months ended December 31, 2005, compared to $419,000 (an effective tax rate of 32.7%) during the six months ended December 31, 2004. 14 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004. The Company reported earnings of $444,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $3,000, or 0.7%, from the $441,000 reported for the same period in 2004. Both basic and diluted earnings per share were unchanged at $0.06 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, and 2004. The Company's return on average assets was 0.88% for the three months ended December 31, 2005 compared to 0.92% for the same period in 2004 while return on average equity was 7.07% for the three months ended December 31, 2005 compared to 7.26% for the same period 2004. NET INTEREST INCOME was $1,860,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, $93,000, or 5.3%, greater than the $1,767,000 reported for three months ended December 31, 2004. Interest income increased to $3,021,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, from $2,755,000 for the three months ended December 31 2004. Interest income earned on loans increased by $284,000 or 11.0%, from $2,576,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004, to $2,860,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. This was attributable to an increase in the average balance of total loans outstanding, from $158,100,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 to $176,200,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, coupled with a slight increase in the overall yield on loans of 8 basis points from 6.41% during the quarter ended December 31, 2004, to 6.49% during the quarter ended December 31, 2005. Interest income earned on investment securities and other interest earning assets declined by $18,000 or 10.1%, from $179,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004, to $131,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. This decline was solely the result of management's reinvestment of proceeds from maturing investment securities into the loan portfolio. Interest expense was $1,161,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $173,000 or 17.5%, $988,000 for the three months ended December 31 2004. This increase was the result of the higher interest rate environment coupled with a change in funding from FHLB advances to customer deposits. Average total deposits increased $10,600,000, from $113.200,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, to $123,800,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2005, while the average rate paid on deposit accounts increased from 0.98% during the quarter ended December 31, 2004, to 1.63 % during the quarter ended December 31, 2005. The Bank paid-off maturing long-term FHLB advances during the period, accordingly, the average balance of FHLB borrowings declined from $55,100,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2004, to $51,900,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the average rate paid on those advances declined slightly from 5.11% during the quarter ended December 31, 2004, to 5.08% during the quarter ended December 31, 2005. THE PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES was $30,000 for three months ended December 31, 2005 and for the same period in 2004. The provision for both periods reflects management's analysis of the Bank's loan portfolio based on information that is currently available to it at such time. In particular, management considers the level of non-performing loans and potential problem loans. Total charge-offs for three months ended December 2005 were $6,000 compared to $244,000 during the same period in 2004. Included in the $244,000 charged-off during the three months ended December 31, 2004, was $156,000 related to a problem credit that had been specifically reserved for in a prior period. While management believes that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient based on information currently available to it, no assurances can be made that future events, conditions, or regulatory directives will not result in increased provisions for loan losses which may adversely affect income. NONINTEREST INCOME remained fairly stable increasing $18,000 or 3.6% from the three-month period ending December 31, 2004, compared to the same period in 2005. NONINTEREST EXPENSE was $1,695,000 for three months ended December 31, 2005, $124,000 or 7.9% greater than the $1,571,000 reported for the three months ended December 31, 2004. This increase was primarily the result of a $135,000 or 19.4% increase in salary and employee benefits due to regular salary increases and the previously mentioned new commercial loan officer and banking center manager, and a $112,000 increase in professional services related to the pending sale of the Company. These increases were partially offset by a decline in other noninterest expense of $78,000 or 24.2% from $322,000 for the quarter ending December 31, 2004 to $244,000 for the quarter ending December 31,2005, as management continued its focus on cost control. TOTAL INCOME TAX EXPENSE was $204,000 (an effective tax rate of 31.5%) for the three months ended December 31, 2004, compared to $219,000 (an effective tax rate of 33.2%) during the three months ended December 31, 2004. 15 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF THE COMPANY AND THE BANK Banking regulations require the Bank to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure its safe and sound operation. The Bank's regulatory liquidity was 11.59% and 14.28% at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The primary source of funding for the Company is dividend payments from the Bank. Dividend payments by the Bank have been used primarily by the Company to pay dividends to its stockholders. The Bank's liquidity is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities. The primary investment activity of the Bank is the origination of mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, commercial and consumer loans. The primary sources of funds are deposits, FHLB borrowings, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans, mortgage-backed securities, and investments. While scheduled payments of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank utilizes FHLB borrowings to leverage its capital base and provide funds for lending and to better manage its interest rate risk. The sole investment of the Company is its investment in the Bank's stock. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had outstanding commitments to fund existing construction loans of $6,616,000, originate loans of $4,446,000, open-end consumer lines of credit of $6,856,000, unused commercial lines of credit of $4,685,000 and standby letters of credit of $2,988,000. As of December 31, 2005, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $31,130,000. Based on historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with the Bank. Management anticipates that the Bank will continue to have sufficient funds, through deposits, borrowings, and normal operations to meet its commitments. The Bank is required by Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations to meet certain minimum capital requirements. At December 31, 2005, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible and tier 1 capital both at $23,456,000 or 11.55% of adjusted total assets, and risk-based capital at $ 24,282,000 or 17.78% of risk-weighted assets. The minimum ratios required by the OTS are 1.5% for tangible capital to adjusted total assets, 4.0% for tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets and 8.0% for risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets. The Bank's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The level of cash and cash equivalents is dependent on the Bank's operating, financing lending and investing activities during any given period. At December 31, 2005, the Bank's cash and cash equivalents totaled $5,904,000. The Company's and Bank's future short -term requirements for cash are not expected to significantly change. However, in the event that the Bank should require funds in excess of its ability to generate them internally, additional sources of funds are available, including additional FHLB advances. With no parent company debt and sound capital levels, the Company should have many options available for satisfying its longer-term cash needs such as borrowing funds, raising equity capital and issuing trust preferred securities. Management is not aware of any current recommendations or government proposals which, if implemented would have a material effect on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or operations. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK There has been no significant change in the Company's market risk since June 30, 2005, except as discussed in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in Item 2, above. For information regarding the Company's market risk, refer to the Company's Form 10-K for the year ending June 30, 2005. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated, with the participation of the Company's management, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Based upon their evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. 16 No changes were made to the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
