NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

None of the unrealized losses at September 30, 2014 were recognized into net income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 because the issuer’s bonds are of high credit quality, management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates. The fair value of these securities is expected to recover as they approach their maturity date or reset date. None of the unrealized losses at June 30, 2014 were recognized as having other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The Company evaluates securities for OTTI at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. The Company considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Additionally, the Company considers its intent to sell or whether it will be more likely than not it will be required to sell the security prior to the security’s anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal Government agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities classified available-for-sale at September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014 by contractual maturity are summarized as follows:

	September 30, 2014				June 30, 2014

At September 30, 2014, nonaccrual loans were $ 1,579, of which $ 1,360 are classified in the “90 Days or More” category and $220 were classified in the “60-89 Days Past Due” category. Nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2014 were $1,647. All of these loans are disclosed by portfolio segment above in the “90 days or more past due” column at June 30, 2014, except one loan in the “60-89 days past due” category with a carrying amount of $220 and one loan in the “30-59 days past due” category with a carrying amount of $374. There were no troubled debt restructures at September 30, 2014 or June 30, 2014.

All loans graded pass, special mention, substandard and doubtful not specifically evaluated for impairment are collectively evaluated for impairment by portfolio segment. To develop and document a systematic methodology for determining the portion of the allowance for loan losses for loans evaluated collectively, the Company has divided the loan portfolio into six portfolio segments, each with different risk characteristics and methodologies for assessing risk and utilizes a loan grading system whereby all loans within each portfolio segment are assigned a grade based on the risk profile of each loan. Loan grades are determined based on an evaluation of relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. All loans, regardless of size, are analyzed and assigned a grade based upon management’s assessment of the ability of borrowers to service their debts. The following describes each of the Company’s loan grades and general information as to the risk profile of each of the Company’s loan portfolio segments:

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

Loan Grades:

Pass: Loans not meeting any of the criteria listed below for special mention, substandard, or doubtful are graded “Pass.”

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Portfolio Segments:

One-to-four family: One-to-four family residential loans consist primarily of loans secured by first or second deeds of trust on primary residences, and are originated as adjustable-rate or fixed-rate loans for the construction, purchase or refinancing of a one-to-four family residence. These loans are collateralized by owner-occupied properties located in the Company’s market area. We currently originate residential mortgage loans for our portfolio with loan-to-value ratios of up to 80% for traditional owner-occupied homes.

Multi-family: Multi-family real estate loans generally have a maximum term of 5 years with a 30 year amortization period and a final balloon payment and are secured by properties containing five or more units in the Company’s market area. These loans are generally made in amounts of up to 75% of the lesser of the appraised value or the purchase price of the property with an appropriate projected debt service coverage ratio. The Company’s underwriting analysis includes considering the borrower’s expertise and requires verification of the borrower’s credit history, income and financial statements, banking relationships, independent appraisals, references and income projections for the property. The Company generally obtains personal guarantees on these loans.

Multi-family real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than loans secured by one-to-four family residences. This greater risk is due to several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income-producing properties and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by multi-family residential real estate is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate project.

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

Home Equity: We originate fixed-rate home equity loans secured by a lien on the borrower’s primary residence but only where we hold the first mortgage on the property. Our home equity loans are limited to an 80% loan-to-value ratio (including all prior liens), and have terms of up to 10 years with 10-year amortization periods. We use the same underwriting standards for home equity loans as we use for one- to four-family residential mortgage loans.

Nonresidential Real Estate: Our non-residential real estate loans are secured primarily by churches and, to a much lesser extent, office buildings, and retail and mixed-use properties located in our primary market area. The non-residential real estate loans that we originate generally have maximum terms of 5 years with amortization periods of 30 years. For loans secured by church property, our loans generally have maximum terms of 20 years with amortization periods of up to 20 years. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of our non-residential real estate loans is generally 75%.

Loans secured by non-residential real estate generally are larger than one- to four-family residential loans and involve greater credit risk. Non-residential real estate loans often involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Repayment of these loans depends to a large degree on the results of operations and management of the properties securing the loans or the businesses conducted on such property, and may be affected to a greater extent by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy in general, including the current adverse conditions. In addition, because a church’s financial stability often depends on donations from congregation members, some of whom may not reside in our market area, rather than income from business operations, repayment may be affected by economic conditions that affect individuals located both in our market area and in other market areas with which we are not as familiar. In addition, due to the unique nature of church buildings and properties, the real estate securing church loans may be less marketable than other non-residential real estate.

Construction and Land: We make construction loans to individuals for the construction of their primary residences and interim construction loans for non-residential properties. These loans generally have maximum terms of eight months, and upon completion of construction convert to conventional amortizing mortgage loans. These construction loans have rates and terms comparable to one- to four-family residential mortgage loans that we originate. During the construction phase, the borrower generally pays interest only. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of our owner-occupied construction loans is 80%. Residential construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating permanent residential mortgage loans. Finally, we make loans secured by land to complement our construction and non-residential lending activities. These loans have terms of up to 10 years, and maximum loan-to-value ratios of 75% for improved lots and 65% for unimproved land.

To the extent our construction loans are not made to owner-occupants of single-family homes, they are more vulnerable to changes in economic conditions and the concentration of credit with a limited number of borrowers. Further, the nature of these loans is such that they are more difficult to evaluate and monitor. Our risk of loss on a construction or land loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value upon completion of the project and the estimated cost (including interest) of the project. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project with a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment and/or the possibility of having to make substantial investments to complete and sell the project. Because defaults in repayment may not occur during the construction period, it may be difficult to identify problem loans at an early stage.

Consumer and Other Loans: We offer installment loans for various consumer purposes, including the purchase of automobiles, boats, appliances and recreational vehicles, and for other legitimate personal purposes. The maximum terms of consumer loans is 18 months for unsecured loans, 12 months for loans secured by marketable securities and 18-60 months for loans secured by a vehicle, depending on the age of the vehicle. We generally only extend consumer loans to existing customers or their immediate family members, and these loans generally have relatively low limits.

Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

(5) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Investment Securities:

The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). The Company’s preferred stock investments are not actively traded; therefore, management estimates the fair value of its preferred stock using estimations provided by external dealer quotes.

Impaired Loans:

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Real estate owned:

Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as real estate owned are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

(6) EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

Employees participate in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). The ESOP borrowed from the Company to purchase 248,842 shares of the Company’s common stock at $ 10 per share during 2011. The Company makes discretionary contributions to the ESOP, and pays dividends on unallocated shares to the ESOP, and the ESOP uses funds it receives to repay the loan. When loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to participants based on relative compensation and expense is recorded. Dividends on allocated shares increase participant accounts.

Participants receive the shares at the end of employment. No contributions to the ESOP were made during the three months ended September 30, 2014. ESOP compensation expense recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $77 and $ 67, respectively.

Shares held by the ESOP at September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014 were as follows:

	September 30, 2014		June 30, 2014
Committed to be released to participants		14,195		9,464
Allocated to participants		57,902		57,902

On April 5, 2012, the shareholders of Oconee Federal Financial Corp. approved the Oconee Federal Financial Corp. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for employees and directors of the Company. The Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 435,472 shares of the Company’s common stock, with no more than 124,420 of shares as restricted stock awards and 311,052 as stock options, either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. The exercise price of options granted under the Plan may not be less than the fair market value on the date the stock option is granted. The compensation committee of the board of directors has sole discretion to determine the amount and to whom equity incentive awards are granted.

On April 27, 2012, the compensation committee of the board of directors approved the issuance of 62,208 stock options to purchase Company stock and 24,884 shares of restricted stock to its directors. In addition, a total of 171,078 stock options and 62,210 shares of restricted stock were granted to officers. Stock options and restricted stock have vesting periods of 5 years or 7 years, a percentage of which vests annually on each anniversary date of grant. The weighted average vesting period of stock options and restricted stock granted was 5.7 years and 5.6 years, respectively. Stock options expire ten years after issuance. Apart from the vesting schedule for both stock options and restricted stock, there are no performance-based conditions or any other material conditions applicable to the awards issued.

Fully vested and expected to vest - September 30, 2014	240,986	$	11.58	7.62	$	1,667,623

(1) The intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the current market value and the exercise price. The current market price was based on the closing price of common stock of $18.50 per share on September 30, 2014

The fair value for each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model that uses the following assumptions. The Company uses the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant to determine the risk-free interest rate. The expected dividend yield is estimated using the projected annual dividend level and recent stock price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Expected stock volatility is based on historical volatilities of the SNL Financial Index of Thrifts. The expected life of the options is calculated based on the “simplified” method as provided for under Staff Accounting Bulletin No.110.

The weighted-average fair value of options granted and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model in the fiscal years granted are listed below:

	Fiscal Years Granted

Stock options are assumed to be earned ratably over their respective vesting periods and charged to compensation expense based upon their grant date fair value and the number of options assumed to be earned. There were 11,332 and 10,640 options that were earned during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for stock options for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $11 and $10, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was $144 at September 30, 2014 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.3 years.

The following table summarizes non-vested restricted stock activity for the three months ended September 30, 2014:

The fair value of the restricted stock awards is amortized to compensation expense over their respective vesting periods and is based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant multiplied by the number of shares granted that are expected to vest. The weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted stock granted on April 27, 2012 was $11.58 per share or $1,009. The weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted stock granted on November 13, 2013 was $17.16 per share or $216. Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock included in noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $55 and $47, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense for nonvested restricted stock awards was $734 at September 30, 2014 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.5 years.

(9) MERGER

On February 26, 2014, the Company, the Association and Oconee Federal, MHC (“Oconee MHC”), the Company’s parent, and Stephens Federal Bank, a federally chartered mutual savings bank (“Stephens Federal”), entered into a definitive merger agreement (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”). On May 6, 2014, the Merger Agreement was amended to change the contemplated structure of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement’s terms stipulate that Stephens Federal will undergo a full Supervisory Conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings association to a federally chartered stock savings association. Concurrent with the Supervisory Conversion, Stephens Federal will merge with and into the Association with the Association as the surviving institution (the “Merger”), and the separate existence of Stephens Federal will cease. Additionally, at the time of the Merger, the Company will issue to Oconee MHC a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the quotient of (i) the Valuation of Stephens Federal as prepared by an independent third party, divided by (ii) the average of the closing sales price of a share of the Company's common stock, as reported on the Nasdaq stock market, for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending on the second trading day preceding the effective time of the Merger, and each share of the common stock of Stephens Federal issued pursuant to the Supervisory Conversion and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall immediately be canceled and retired and cease to exist.

The Office of the Comptroller of Currency (the “OCC”) approved Stephens Federal’s application for Supervisory Conversion on August 29, 2014 and our application for Merger on September 3, 2014. The Federal Reserve Board approved our application to acquire Stephens Federal on September 9, 2014. The Supervisory Conversion approval requires the Supervisory Conversion to be completed by September 29, 2014, and the Merger approval requires the Merger to be completed by December 9, 2014.

On October 24, 2014, the OCC approved Stephen Federal's request for an extension to December 9, 2014 to consummate the Supervisory Conversion. We expect to close the Merger on or before that date. Based on preliminary estimates, the Merger is expected to increase total assets by approximately $150 million, although final amounts are subject to change. The Merger will be accounted for as an acquisition of a business using acquisition accounting, which requires that all identifiable assets and liabilities to be recorded at fair value, including any intangible assets and liabilities.

(10) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 23, 2014, the Board of Directors of Oconee Federal Financial Corp. (the “Company”) declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of the Company’s common stock. The dividend is payable to stockholders of record as of November 6, 2014, and will be paid on or about November 20, 2014.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of such words as estimate, project, believe, intend, anticipate, plan, seek, expect and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include:

· statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

· statements regarding our business plans and prospects and growth and operating strategies;

· statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

· estimates or our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

· our ability to manage our operations under the current adverse economic conditions (including real estate values, loan demand, inflation, commodity prices and employment levels) nationally and in our market areas;

· adverse changes in the financial industry, securities, credit and national and local real estate markets (including real estate values);

· significant increases in our delinquencies and loan losses, including as a result of our inability to resolve classified assets, changes in the underlying cash flows of our borrowers, and management’s assumptions in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses;

· credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and in our allowance and provision for loan losses;

· use of estimates for determining the fair value of certain of our assets, which may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuations;

· increased competition among depository and other financial institutions;

· our ability to attract and maintain deposits, including attracting and maintaining deposits and introducing new deposit products;

· changes in interest rates generally, including changes in the relative differences between short term and long term interest rates and in deposit interest rates, that may affect our net interest margin and funding sources;

· fluctuations in the demand for loans, which may be affected by the number of unsold homes, land and other properties in our market areas and by declines in the value of real estate in our market area;

· declines in the yield on our assets resulting from the current low interest rate environment;

· our ability to successfully implement our business strategies, including attracting and maintaining deposits and introducing new financial products;

· risks related to high concentration of loans secured by real estate located in our market areas;

· changes in the level of government support of housing finance;

· the results of examinations by our regulators, including the possibility that our regulators may, among other things, require us to increase our reserve for loan losses, write down assets, change our regulatory capital position, limit our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, or prohibit us from paying dividends, which could adversely affect our dividends and earnings;

· our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

· our businesses may not be combined successfully, or such combination may take longer to accomplish than expected;

· the growth opportunities and cost savings from the acquisition of Stephens Federal may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected;

· our ability to manage increased expenses following the acquisition of Stephens Federal, including salary and employee benefit expenses and occupation expenses;

· operating costs, customer losses and business disruption following the acquisition of Stephens Federal, including adverse effects of relationships with employees, may be greater than expected;

· our ability to attract and maintain deposits, including former depositors of Stephens Federal;

· changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including the Dodd-Frank Act and the JOBS Act, which could result in, among other things, increased deposit insurance premiums and assessments, capital requirements (particularly the new capital regulations), regulatory fees and compliance costs and the resources we have available to address such changes;

· our reliance on a small executive staff;

· changes in our compensation and benefit plans, and our ability to retain key members of our senior management team and to address staffing needs to implement our strategic plan;

· changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

· changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

· our ability to control costs and expenses, particularly those related to operating as a publicly traded company;

· other changes in our financial condition or results of operations that reduce capital available to pay dividends;

· other changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own, including our stock in the FHLB of Atlanta; and

· other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and operational factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services.

Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Oconee Federal Financial Corp. for the year ended June 30, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014

Our total assets decreased by $3.4 million, or 0.9%, to $357.1 million at September 30, 2014 from $360.5 million at June 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily reflective of a decrease in total cash and cash equivalents of $3.6 million, or 30.3%, to $8.3 million at September 30, 2014 from $11.9 million at June 30, 2014. The decrease in total cash and cash equivalents is primarily reflective of the decrease in total deposits of $3.1 million, or 1.1%, to $277.9 million at September 30, 2014 from $281.0 million at June 30, 2014. Total equity increased $450 thousand, or 0.6%, to $77.4 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $76.9 million at June 30, 2014.

Total gross loans increased by $3.0 million, or 1.3%, to $235.0million at September 30, 2014 from $232.0 million at June 30, 2014. Our one-to-four family real estate loans increased by $2.9 million, or 1.3%, to $217.6 million at September 30, 2014 from $214.7million at June 30, 2014. Construction and land loans increased by $241 thousand, or 3.1%, to $7.9 million at September 30, 2014 from $7.7 million at June 30, 2014. These increases are a reflection of an increased demand in our market for one-to-four family residential real estate loans, resulting from modest improvements in the economy and competitive rates that we offer on these one-to-four family loan products. The Oconee County area remains a very attractive market for second home and retirement home construction and purchases.

Deposits decreased by $3.1 million, or 1.1%, to $277.9 million at September 30, 2014 from $281.0 million at June 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributed to a decrease in interest bearing deposit accounts of $4.4 million, or 1.6%, offset partially by an increase in non-interest bearing deposits of $1.3 million, or 18.2%. The decline in interest bearing deposits, primarily our certificates of deposits, is reflective of depositors moving their deposits into higher yielding investments in the market. Oconee Federal, MHC’s cash is held on deposit with the Company. We generally do not accept brokered deposits and no brokered deposits were accepted during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

We had no advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta as of September 30, 2014 or June 30, 2014. We have credit available under a loan agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta in the amount of 11% of total assets (as of September 30, 2014), or approximately $39.6 million.

Total equity increased $450 thousand, or 0.6%, to $77.4 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $76.9 million at June 30, 2014. The increase in total equity is primarily reflective of net income of $1.0 million, net of dividends paid of $583 thousand and net accumulated other comprehensive loss of $154 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Additionally, total equity increased $143 thousand from the recognition of compensation related expenses associated with the ESOP and equity compensation plans for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Total nonperforming assets to total assets		0.61%		0.66%
Total nonperforming assets to loans and real estate owned		0.92%		1.03%

Interest income that would have been recorded had our non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms was $28 thousand and $68 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Interest of $4 thousand and $16 thousand was recognized on these loans and is included in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The decrease in the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans is a reflection of a decrease of $68 thousand, or 4.1%, in nonperforming loans to $1.6 million at September 30, 2014. This decrease is a reflection of improvements in the credit quality of our loan portfolio. All nonperforming loans, regardless of size, are evaluated by management for impairment. In cases where there is more than one loan under the same relationship, all loans within that relationship are evaluated for impairment. Therefore, total impaired loans may exceed total nonperforming loans. Additionally, any loan or loan relationship exhibiting signs of potential impairment are evaluated for impairment, even if those loans are currently performing.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013

General. We recognized net income of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to net income of $919 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The $125 thousand increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income after the provision for loan losses of $274 thousand, offset partially by an increases in noninterest expense of $99 thousand and income tax expense of $51 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $72 thousand, or 2.2%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase reflected an increase on the yield of interest-earning assets of 12 basis points to 3.80% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 3.68% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in yield offset the decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $3.1 million to $348.8 million from $351.8 million. The overall increase in yield is a reflection of the shift in investment from lower interest yielding interest-bearing deposits and other to higher yielding investment securities and loans. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased $18.4 million, or 59.2%, to $12.7 million for the three months September 30, 2014 from $31.2 million at September 30, 2013. The average balances of loans and investment securities increased to $233.0 million and $103.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $221.6 million and $99.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Interest income on loans increased by $34 thousand, or 1.2%, to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The slight increase reflected an increase of $11.4 million, or 5.1%, in average balance of loans to $233.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $221.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, offset partially by a decrease in the yield on loans of 20 basis points to 4.95% from 5.15% for the same periods ended. Interest income on investment securities increased by $46 thousand, or 12.4%, to $417 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $371 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase reflected an increase in the average balance of securities of $4.0 million, or 4.01%, to $103.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $99.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and an increase of 8 basis points in the yield on securities to 1.58% from 1.50%. The increase in average balances of our investment securities is reflective of our efforts to continue to invest in high-quality investment securities during this period of low loan demand.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $121 thousand, or 28.2%, to $308 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $429 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease reflected a decrease of 15 basis points in the average rate paid on deposits for the three months ended September 30, 2014 to 0.45% from 0.60% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and a decrease in the average balances of interest-bearing deposits of $13.9 million, or 4.9%, to $272.1million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $286.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The largest decrease in interest expense came from certificates of deposit, which decreased $122 thousand, or 31.9%, to $260 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $382 thousand for the same period in 2013. The decrease is reflective of a decrease of $16.5 million, or 7.7%, in the average balance of certificates of deposit to $198.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $215.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and a decrease of 18 basis points in the average rate paid on such deposits to 0.52% from 0.70% for the same periods ended.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased by $193 thousand, or 6.9%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014from $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Our interest rate spread and net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased to 3.35% and 3.44%, respectively, from 3.09% and 3.19%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in interest rate spread and net interest margin are reflective of both higher yields on interest-earning assets and lower cost of funds on interest-bearing liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded no provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared with a provision of $81 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2013. There were no charges offs recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2014 or the three months ended September 30, 2013. We recorded no provision for the three months ended September 30, 2014 due to continued high credit quality within our loan portfolio as can be evidenced by improved credit quality metrics. Our nonperforming loans to total loans and nonperforming assets to total assets were 0.67% and 0.61%, respectively, at September 30, 2014 compared to 0.71% and 0.66%, respectively, at June 30, 2014. Our allowance for loan losses was $855 thousand at September 30,2014 and June 30, 2014, 0.36% and 0.37% of gross loans, respectively.

We used the same methodology in assessing the allowances for both periods. To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 remained relatively unchanged at $82 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $80 thousand for the same period in 2013.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased by $93 thousand, or 6.7%, to $1.5 million from $1.4 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in noninterest expenses is primarily reflective of increases in salaries and employee benefits of $49 thousand, or 5.7%, to $910 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $861 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Additionally, there were increases in occupancy and equipment of $12 thousand, or 7.7%, to $167 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $155 thousand for the same period in 2013, office expense of $14 thousand, or 48.3%, to $43 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $29 thousand for the same period in 2013, and other noninterest expenses of $26 thousand, or 33.7%, to $103 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $77 thousand for the same period in 2013. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is due to an increase during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2014 in salaries related to several officer promotions as well as normal annual pay increases. Additionally, compensation expense associated with our ESOP and equity incentive plans increased to $143 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $124 thousand for the same period in 2013. The increase in equity compensation expense resulted from additional shares of restricted stock and stock options granted in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013. ESOP compensation expense increased due to the increasing price of our stock used in the calculation of compensation expense. The increase in other noninterest expense resulted from slight increases in miscellaneous expenses for insurance, dues and subscriptions, and filing fees.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $565 thousand compared with $513 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Our effective income tax rate remained relatively unchanged at35.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 35.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of funds are deposits and the proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities. 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. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive within our market and to increase core deposit relationships.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management. We adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon management’s assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) yields available on interest-earning deposits and investment securities, and (iv) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning overnight deposits, federal funds sold, and short and intermediate-term U.S. Government sponsored agencies and mortgage-backed securities of short duration. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, we have credit available under a loan agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta in the amount of 11% assets (as of September 30, 2014), or approximately $39.6 million.

Common Stock Dividend Policy. On August 21, 2014, the Company paid a $0.10 per share cash dividend on its common stock for a total of $583 thousand.

Equity Compensation Plans. There were no new shares of restricted stock or stock options issued during the three months ended September 30, 2014.
