---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2004 (Unaudited) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include Lawrence Financial Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lawrence Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Lawrence Financial Services Corporation (together, the "Company"). Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. NATURE OF OPERATIONS: The Company provides financial services through its offices in Lawrence and Scioto Counties, Ohio. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are real estate mortgage and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including consumer assets and real estate. Lawrence Financial Services Corporation only holds liquid assets in the form of cash. The operations from Lawrence Financial Services Corporation are not considered to be significant. Management considers the Company to operate in one segment, banking. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE: Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable. ESOP shares are considered to be outstanding for this calculation unless they are unearned. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share computations were as follows: SIX MONTH PERIOD THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, ENDED JUNE 30 -------------- ------------- 2004 2003 2004 2003 ---- ---- ---- ---- Weighted average shares outstanding 605,848 617,446 607,206 601,941 Effect of stock options 19,468 13,202 17,533 9,744 Effect of non-vested stock awards 2,044 2,136 1,696 1,668 ------- ------- ------- ------- Weighted average shares outstanding - Diluted 627,360 632,784 626,435 613,353 ======= ======= ======= ======= STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION: Employee compensation under the stock option plan is reported if options are granted below market price at grant date. Pro forma disclosures of compensation cost of stock-based awards have been determined using the fair value method that considers the time value of the option considering the volatility of the Company's stock, expected dividend yield, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The options granted on December 31, 2001 have an exercise price of $14.45 and expire in December 2011. One-fifth of the options vested on the date of grant; the remaining options vest over four years. The fair value of options granted in 2001 was estimated using the following assumptions: Risk-free interest rate of 4.49%, expected life of 5 years, expected volatility of stock price of 27% and expected dividend yield of 1.94%. Based on these assumptions, the estimated fair value of options granted in 2001 was $3.77 per option. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 The following pro forma information presents net income and earnings per common share had the fair value of the options been used to measure compensation cost for the stock option plan.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for loan losses is particularly subject to change. These interim financial statements are prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Lawrence Financial Holdings, Inc. at June 30, 2004, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain amounts in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not contain all financial disclosures required by US GAAP. Lawrence Financial Holdings, Inc.'s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2003, contains consolidated financial statements and related notes which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements. NOTE 2 - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal regulatory agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory actions that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and regulatory framework for prompt-corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about the Bank's components, risk weightings and other factors. At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, management believes the Bank complied with all regulatory capital requirements. At June 30, 2004, Lawrence Federal exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements. Lawrence Federal is considered "well capitalized" under regulatory guidelines. Management is unaware of any events or circumstances that would change the Bank's classification since this time. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9 The Bank's actual capital levels and minimum required levels were as follows: Minimum Required to be Minimum Required Well Capitalized Under for Capital Prompt Corrective Actual Adequacy Purposes Action Regulations ------ ----------------- ------------------ (dollars in thousands) Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- June 30,2004: - ------------- Total capital (to risk- weighted assets) $ 13,670 15.60% $ 7,010 8.0% $ 8,763 10.0% Tier 1 (core) capital (to risk-weighted assets) 12,989 14.82 3,506 4.0 5,259 6.0 Tier 1 (core) capital (to adjusted total assets) 12,989 10.36 5,015 4.0 6,269 5.0 December 31,2003: - ----------------- Total capital (to risk- weighted assets) $ 13,521 16.39% $ 6,600 8.0% $ 8,250 10.0% Tier 1 (core) capital (to risk-weighted assets) 12,803 15.52 3,300 4.0 4,950 6.0 Tier 1 (core) capital (to adjusted total assets) 12,803 10.18 5,031 4.0 6,289 5.0 Regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) limit the amount of capital distributions that may be made by the Bank without prior approval of the OTS. The regulatory restriction provides that the Bank may make a capital distribution without applying to the OTS for approval provided that (1) the total amount of all capital at the institution (including the proposed capital distribution) for the applicable calendar year does not exceed the institution's net income for that year to date plus the institution's retained net income for the preceding two years; (2) the institution will be well capitalized following the proposed capital distributions; and, (3) certain other conditions are met. In addition to the restriction described above, the Bank may not make any capital distributions if the effect thereof would reduce the Bank's capital level below the aggregate balance required for the liquidation account established in connection with the Bank's mutual-to-stock conversion. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 NOTE 3 - ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND NON-PERFORMING LOANS Activity in the allowance for loan losses is as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 2003 --------- --------- (Dollars in Thousands) Beginning Balance ...................................... $1,014 $1,111 Provision for Loan Losses .............................. 360 495 Charge Offs ............................................

These statements are not historical facts, rather they are statements based on Lawrence Financial Holdings, Inc.'s ("Lawrence Financial") current expectations regarding its business strategies, intended results and future performance. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "intends" and similar expressions. Management's ability to predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could affect actual results include interest rate trends, the general economic climate in the market area in which Lawrence Financial operates, as well as nationwide, Lawrence Financial's ability to control costs and expenses, competitive products and pricing, loan delinquency rates and changes in federal and state legislation and regulation. These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Lawrence Financial assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. OPERATING STRATEGY Lawrence Financial, through its wholly owned subsidiary Lawrence Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank" or - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12 "Lawrence Federal"), operates as a community-oriented financial institution focused on meeting the financial service needs of consumers in its market area. To accomplish this objective, Lawrence Federal offers a variety of mortgage and consumer loans and retail deposit products. Lawrence Federal extends its lending activities outside of its market area through programs for originating automobile loans through a network of dealers and other banks. The consumer loans originated through these indirect lending programs typically have shorter terms and higher yields than mortgage loans. In addition, the origination of shorter term consumer loans will help Lawrence Federal in managing its interest rate risk. However, these indirect lending programs represent a higher risk of credit loss than real estate loans, since the collateral securing these loans may decline in value quickly. Lawrence Federal's results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on Lawrence Federal's interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense on its interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Lawrence Federal also generates noninterest income primarily from loan fees and service charges. Lawrence Federal's noninterest expenses primarily consist of employee compensation and benefits, occupancy expense, data processing costs, and other operating expenses. Lawrence Federal's results of operations are also affected by general economic and competitive conditions, notably changes in market interest rates, government policies and regulations. The Bank expensed $360,000 of provision for loan loss for the first six months of 2004, compared to $495,000 for the same period of 2003. While the provision for loan loss has been reduced from the same period in 2003 as a direct result of the continued efforts in the collection department, management has determined that the current level is adequate considering the current charge off experiences. During the six month period ended June 30, 2004, the Company had net charge-offs of approximately $387,000, compared to $482,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2003. At June 30, 2004, the Company had a ratio of Allowance for Loan Loss to gross loans of 1.17% compared to 1.22% on the same date in 2003. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13 COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2004 AND DECEMBER 31, 2003 Total assets decreased $438,000, or .5%, to $125.0 million at June 30, 2004 when compared to the balances at December 31, 2003. At June 30, 2004, net loans receivable had increased $2.5 million, or 3%, when compared to the balances at December 31, 2003. Direct and indirect consumer loans increased $5.1 million, or 27%, real estate loans decreased by $2.8 million, or 7%, indirect mobile home loans decreased $1.3 million, or 9%, and commercial loans increased $1.5 million, or 16% at June 30, 2004. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2004 was $988,000. The growth in the direct and indirect loan portfolio resulted primarily from the purchase of $5.0 million in auto loans. The growth in the commercial loan portfolio was due primarily to the origination of one commercial loan participation with a local commercial bank. Lawrence Federal's long term investments, held in the form of securities, decreased by $757,000 or 3%, when comparing June 30, 2004 balances to December 31, 2003. During the first six months of 2004 Lawrence Financial's available cash and cash equivalents decreased to $8.3 million, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 22%. This decrease was primarily due to the increase in loan volume. Compared to December 31, 2003, deposits decreased $305,000 or 1%, to $110.7 million at June 30, 2004. Equity decreased $310,000, or 2%, to $13.7 million at June 30, 2004 when compared to December 31, 2003. During the period ended June 30, 2004, retained earnings increased $163,000 as a result of net income for the period and decreased as a result of the payment of $90,000 in cash dividends to the shareholders. In addition to these changes, retained earnings decreased $455,000 as a result of the net unrealized depreciation in the investments portfolio. COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTH AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDING JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003 GENERAL. For the three months ended June 30, Lawrence Financial's net income decreased 26% to $92,000 for 2004 from $125,000 for 2003. For the six month period ended June 30, Lawrence Financial's net income decreased 35% to $163,000 for 2004 from $251,000 for 2003. Return on average assets was 0.29% and 0.26% for the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively, compared to 0.37% and 0.37% for the same two periods in 2003. Return on average equity was 2.65% and 2.35% for the second quarter and first six months of 2004, respectively, compared to 3.58% and 3.55% for the same two periods in 2003. Net interest income decreased $138,000, or 11%, during the second quarter and decreased $279,000, or 11%, for the six month period ending June 30. Noninterest income decreased $47,000, or 23%, during the second quarter and $126,000, or 25%, for the six month period ending June 30. Offsetting the decrease in net interest was a $15,000 or 8% decrease in the provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, and a $135,000 or 27% decrease in the provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30. Offsetting the decrease in net interest and noninterest income was a $125,000, or 11%, decrease in noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30 and a $154,000, or 7%, decrease in noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30. The Company experienced a $42,000 or 4% increase in salaries, wages and benefits during the first six months of 2004 when compared to the same period of 2003. This increase was a result of the creation of the operation and proof areas within the Company's banking subsidiary and increased medical insurance costs, as well as other related costs. The Company has determined that the 2004 salaries and wages will be held at the 2003 levels to help offset the rising benefit costs. Data processing costs decreased $168,000, or 47%, when compared to the same period in 2003, with $75,000 of the decrease directly related to the costs incurred for preparation of the data processing conversion the Company underwent in July 2003. INTEREST INCOME. Interest income decreased $304,000, or 16%, for the quarter compared to the same quarter in 2003 and decreased $668,000, or 17%, for the first six months of 2004 compared to the first six months of 2003. Interest income on loans decreased $328,000, or 20%, and decreased $690,000, or 20%, for the quarter and six months ended June 30 respectively. These decreases were primarily a result of a decline in the balance of the loan portfolio and as a result of a decrease in the yield on the portfolio. Interest income on long-term investments increased $25,000, or 13%, for the quarter and increased $28,000, or 7%, for the six months ended June 30 primarily as a result of a larger average balance being carried by the Company during 2004. The average yield on interest-earning assets declined to 5.50% for the quarter and 5.60% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, from 6.06% and 6.16% for the same two periods in 2003, as lower yielding long term investments became a higher percentage of interest earning assets. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14 INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased $166,000, or 26%, for the quarter compared to the same quarter in 2003 and decreased $390,000, or 30%, for the first six months of 2004 compared to the first six months in 2003. The decrease in interest expense for the quarter and six months ending June 30, 2004, was a direct result of a decline in the rates paid on deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.79% for the quarter and 1.79% in the first six months of 2004 compared to 2.11% and 2.20% for the same periods in 2003, primarily as a result of lower market rates on certificates of deposits and a change in the mix of deposits with a higher percentage of deposit dollars being made up from lower cost funding sources. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. Activity in the allowance for loan losses (the "Allowance") consists of increases due to monthly provisions for loan losses and decreases for monthly charge offs, net of recoveries. Management analyzes the adequacy of the allowance balance at least quarterly by determining its estimate of probable losses in the loan portfolio and comparing that estimate to the allowance's balance. Management calculates its estimate of probable losses primarily by applying expected loss percentages to classified loans and homogeneous loan categories. The impact of these events are described in more detail below as part of the discussion comparing the second quarter of 2004, to the fourth quarter 2003 and the second quarter of 2003. The provision for loan losses was $180,000 for the second quarter of 2004 which represents a decrease of $15,000, or 8%, from the provision of $195,000 recorded for the same period in 2003. The decrease in provision was driven, in part, by management's evaluation of historic trends and estimates regarding charge-offs. Non-performing assets totaled $2.21 million at June 30, 2004, or 1.77% of assets. Of the $2.21 million in non-performing assets, $1.77 million were loans which are 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest and $370,000 were loans in a non-accrual status. Non-performing indirect mobile home loans made up $590,000 of the loans that were 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest and $298,000 of the loans that are carried in a non-accrual status. At December 31, 2003, non-performing assets totaled $2.07 million or 1.65% of assets. Of the $2.07 million, $1.49 million were loans which are 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest and $340,000 were loans in a non-accrual status. At December 31, 2003, non-performing indirect mobile home loans made up $569,000 of the loans that were 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest and $229,000 of the loans that are carried in a non-accrual status. Allowance for loan losses totaled $988,000 at June 30, 2004 and $1.1 million at June 30, 2003. At June 30, 2004, Lawrence Federal's allowance for loan losses represented 1.16% of total gross loans and 46% of nonperforming loans. Although management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary and results of operations could be adversely affected. Furthermore, while Lawrence Federal believes it has established its existing allowance for loan losses in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing Lawrence Federal's loan portfolio, will not request Lawrence Federal to increase its future provisions for loan losses. In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that increases will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed above. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses may adversely affect Lawrence Federal's financial condition and results of operations. Management continues to monitor closely the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, local economic conditions and, as stated earlier, will consider these factors when evaluating the appropriate amount of provision and allowance for loan losses. Management believes the allowance to be adequate at June 30, 2004. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15 NONINTEREST INCOME. The following table shows the components of noninterest income and the dollar and percentage change from the three months ended June 30, 2004 to the same period in 2003 and the six months ending June 30, 2004 to the same period in 2003.

Income earned on the cash surrender value of life insurance was down $15,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 when compared to the same period of 2003. Six Months Ended Dollar Percentage 06/30/04 06/30/03 Change Change ------------ ----------- ------------ ------------- (Dollars in Thousands) Net securities gains (losses) ................... $ 75 $185 $(110) (59)% Service charges ................................. 230 $226 4 2% Other ........................................... 72 91 (19) (21)% ----- ---- ----- Total ........................................ $377 $502 $(125) (25)% ===== ==== ===== Net securities gains recognized in the first six months of 2003 were not duplicated in the same period of 2004. There were no sales of securities during the second quarter of 2004. During the first six months of 2003, management had determined that there were investments being held that should be sold due to market conditions. These conditions were no longer present during the same period in 2004, resulting in fewer sales of securities and the related gains. The decrease in "Other" was primarily due to the decrease in income earned on the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16 NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. The following tables show the components of noninterest expense and the dollar and percentage change from the three months ended June 30, 2004 to the same period in 2003 and the six months ending June 30, 2004 to the same period in 2003. Quarters Ended Dollar Percentage 06/31/04 06/30/03 Change Change --------- --------- -------- ------------ (Dollars in Thousands) Salaries and benefits ............ $483 $495 $(12) (2)% Deposit insurance premiums ....... 4 15 (11) (73)% Occupancy and equipment .......... 111 90 21 23% Data processing .................. 95 161 (66) (41)% Franchise tax .................... 34 35 (1) (3)% Advertising expense .............. 21 19 2 11% Professional Fees ................ 59 77 (18) (23)% Other ............................ 171 211 (40) (19)% ---- ------ ----- Total ...................... $978 $1,103 $(125) (11)% ==== ====== ===== Non-interest expense decreased $125,000, or 11%, for quarter ended June 30, 2004, as compared to the same period in 2003. One of the primary reasons for this involves the $65,000 decrease in expenses related to the data processing function of the Bank. This is a result of the successful conversion to a new data processor which was completed during the third quarter of 2003. In addition, the company has experienced decreases in: professional fees; including audit and legal services; printing and supplies; various expenses related to the collection of delinquent mobile home loans; and other various non-interest expenses. Six Months Ended Dollar Percentage 06/31/04 06/30/03 Change Change --------- --------- -------- ------------ (Dollars in Thousands) Salaries and benefits ............ $1,026 $984 $42 4% Deposit insurance premiums ....... 9 30 (21) (70)% Occupancy and equipment .......... 217 182 35 19% Data processing .................. 189 357 (168) (47)% Franchise tax .................... 68 68 -- -- Advertising expense .............. 42 50 (8) (16)% Professional Fees ................ 161 166 (5) (3)% Other ............................ 364 393 (29) (7)% ------ ------ ----- Total ...................... $2,076 $2,230 $(154) (7)% ====== ====== ===== Non-interest expense decreased $154,000, or 6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to the same period in 2003. The increase in salaries and benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 reflects the addition of employees in the loan collection, loan review, internal audit and operations departments within the Company's banking subsidiary. The decrease in data processing is the direct result of the successful conversion of data processors which was completed during the third quarter of 2003. The Company has also experienced decreases in: printing and supplies; advertising expenses; expenses directly related to the collection of delinquent mobile home loans; and other non-interest expenses. INCOME TAX EXPENSE. The provision for income tax was $30,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $43,000 in the same period for 2003 and $59,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $87,000 in the same period for 2003. The provision decreased as a result of lower taxable income. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was 24.7% compared with 25.6% for the same period in 2003 and for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 26.7% compared with 25.6% for the same period in 2003. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17 AVERAGE BALANCES, INTEREST AND AVERAGE YIELDS/COST The following table presents certain information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, as well as the total dollar amounts of interest income from average interest-earning assets and interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities and the resulting average yields and costs. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Average balances were derived from daily balances. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 2003 --------------------------------- --------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) AVERAGE INTEREST AVERAGE AVERAGE INTEREST AVERAGE BALANCE YIELD/ BALANCE YIELD/ RATE RATE --------- ---------- --------- --------- ---------- --------- Interest-earning assets: Loans (1) ......................... $ 79,928 $2,728 6.85% $ 95,030 $3,418 7.22% Securities (2) .................... 25,490 439 3.67% 22,514 411 3.95% Short term investments ........... 9,441 33 0.07% 9,154 39 0.09% -------- -- -------- -- Total interest-earning assets ... 114,859 3,200 5.60% 126,698 3,868 6.16% Non-interest-earning assets ......... 11,680 9,163 -------- -------- Total assets .................... $126,539 $135,861 ======== ======== Interest-bearing liabilities: Deposits: Savings accounts ................ 27,666 33 0.48% 33,414 81 0.98% NOW accounts .................... 19,167 55 1.16% 16,998 35 0.83% Certificates of deposit ......... 55,705 369 2.67% 69,736 565 3.29% Total deposits-interest bearing liabilities ......... 103,162 919 1.79% 119,680 1,308 2.20% Non-interest-bearing liabilities .... 9,372 1,092 ----- ----- Total liabilities ............. 112,534 120,772 Total retained earnings ............. 14,005 15,089 ------ ------ Total liabilities and retained earnings ........... $126,539 $135,861 ======== ======== Net interest-earning assets ....... $11,697 $7,018 ======= ===== Net interest income/interest rate spread (3) ................. 2,281 3.81% 2,560 3.96% ===== ===== ===== ===== Net interest margin (4) ........... 3.99% 4.08% Ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities ..................... 111.34% 105.86% ___________________________________ (1) Balances are net of deferred loan origination costs, allowance for loan losses, undisbursed proceeds of construction loans in process, and include non-accrual loans.

Lawrence Federal's most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. The principal objectives of Lawrence Federal's interest rate risk management are to evaluate the interest rate risk inherent in certain balance sheet accounts, determine the level of risk appropriate given Lawrence Federal's business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity requirements and performance objectives, and manage the risk consistent with the Board of Director's approved guidelines. Lawrence Federal has an Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO), responsible for reviewing its asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position, which meets monthly and reports trends and interest rate risk position to the Board of Directors quarterly. The ALCO is actively involved in reviewing the mix, volume and pricing strategies associated with managing the Bank's balance sheet and interest rate risk. During the first six months of 2004 management has utilized several internal reports to better analyze the current financial position of the Bank, and the Company, and to identify historic trends in both entities. However, management is aware that the movement of interest rates is an uncertainty which could have a negative impact on the earnings of Lawrence Federal. At this time, Lawrence Federal is liability sensitive which makes the Bank subject to increased interest expense during periods of rising interest rates. Lawrence Federal has placed an emphasis on adjustable-rate loans and the origination of fixed-rate mortgage loans through a third party which, over the long-term, will serve to make the balance sheet less liability sensitive. Lawrence Federal currently does not participate in hedging programs, interest rate swaps or other activities involving the use of derivative financial instruments. QUANTITATIVE ASPECTS OF MARKET RISK. When evaluating interest rate risk Lawrence Federal utilizes an interest sensitivity analysis prepared by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS"), which is supplemented by an internally generated, monthly "Rate-Volume-Variance Report". The following table, which is based on information provided to Lawrence Federal by the Office of Thrift Supervision, presents the change in Lawrence Federal's net portfolio value at March 31, 2004, that would occur upon an immediate change in interest rates based on OTS assumptions, but without giving effect to any steps that management might take to counteract that change. NET PORTFOLIO VALUE NPV AS % OF PORTFOLIO CHANGE IN VALUE OF ASSETS INTEREST RATES -------------------------------------- ---------------------- IN BASIS POINTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) NPV (RATE SHOCK) $ AMOUNT $ CHANGE % CHANGE RATIO CHANGE (1) - --------------- ---------- ------------ ---------- ------- ------------ 300 14,449 (2,700) (16)% 11.59% (168) 200 15,672 (1,478) (9)% 12.39% (88) 100 16,629 (520) (3)% 12.98% (29) Static 17,150 -- -- 13.26% -- (100) 17,183 33 N/M 13.22% (5) (1) Expressed in basis points. The preceding table shows that in the event of a sudden and sustained increase in market interest rates of 200 basis points or more, the net portfolio value of Lawrence Federal would decrease moderately. The OTS uses certain assumptions in assessing the interest rate risk of savings associations. These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the market values of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios, among others. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19 As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, if interest rates change, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates of deposit could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Lawrence Federal further defines liquidity as the ability to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers as well as maintaining the flexibility to take advantage of investment opportunities. Lawrence Federal's primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of investment securities and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Lawrence Federal's most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments (securities maturing in one year or less). The levels of these assets are dependent on Lawrence Federal's operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2004, cash and short-term investments totaled $8.3 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale totaled $25.5 million at June 30, 2004. Funding is obtained primarily from activity involving deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. In the first six months of 2004 Lawrence Federal experienced a net decrease in total deposits of $305,000 since December 31, 2003 compared to an increase of $1.7 million for the same period in 2003. In addition, at June 30, 2004, Lawrence Federal had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $15 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati through the use of an existing cash management advance agreement. On that date, as well as the same date in 2003, Lawrence Federal had no long term advances outstanding. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by Lawrence Federal and its local competitors and other factors. Lawrence Federal generally manages the pricing of its deposits to be competitive and to increase core deposit relationships. Occasionally, Lawrence Federal offers promotional rates on certain deposit products in order to attract deposits. Lawrence Federal is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the OTS including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At June 30, 2004, Lawrence Federal exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements. Lawrence Federal is considered "well capitalized" under regulatory guidelines. See the table on page ten (10) of this filing for more detail regarding the Bank's capital position. EFFECT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented in this Form 10-QSB have been prepared following accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of Lawrence Federal's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than do general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20 ITEM 3 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company's management, including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21 LAWRENCE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC.
