NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the nine and three month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

 
1.
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the nine and three month periods ended December 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

Critical Accounting Policy - The Company’s critical accounting policy relates to the allowance for loan losses. The Company has established a systematic method of periodically reviewing the credit quality of the loan portfolio in order to establish a sufficient allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s current judgments about the credit quality of individual loans and segments of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision, and considers all known internal and external factors that affect loan collectability as of the reporting date. Such evaluation, which included a review of all loans on which full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, management’s knowledge of inherent risks in the portfolio that are probable and reasonably estimable and other factors that warrant recognition in providing an appropriate loan loss allowance. Management has discussed the development and selection of this critical accounting policy with the audit committee of the Board of Directors.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.
Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc. and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Wayne Savings Community Bank (“Wayne Savings” or the “Bank”).

Wayne Savings has eleven banking locations in Wayne, Holmes, Ashland, Medina and Stark counties. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Stock Option Plan

The Company maintains a 1993 incentive Stock Option Plan that provided for the issuance of 196,390 shares of authorized common stock, as adjusted, with no options outstanding at December 31, 2006. In fiscal 2004, the Company adopted a new Stock Option Plan that provided for the issuance of 142,857 incentive options and 61,224 non-incentive options with respect to authorized common stock. As of December 31, 2006, all options under the 2004 Plan have been granted and (excluding forfeited options), are subject to exercise at the discretion of the grantees, and will expire in fiscal 2014 unless otherwise exercised or forfeited.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123(R) requires the recognition of compensation expense related to stock option awards based on the fair value of the option award at the grant date. Compensation cost is then recognized over the vesting period. There were no options granted during each of the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Recent Accounting Developments

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment of SFAS No. 140,” to simplify the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. Specifically, SFAS No. 156 amends SFAS No. 140 to require an entity to take the following steps:

 
·
Separately recognize financial assets as servicing assets or servicing liabilities, each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into certain kinds of servicing contracts;
 
·
Initially measure all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities at fair value, if practicable; and
 
·
Separately present servicing assets and liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial condition and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.

Recent Accounting Developments (continued)

Additionally, SFAS No. 156 permits, but does not require, an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for measuring each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 also permits a servicer that uses derivative financial instruments to offset risks on servicing to use fair value measurement when reporting both the derivative financial instrument and related servicing asset or liability.

SFAS No. 156 applies to all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, or April 1, 2007 as to the Company. Management is currently evaluating SFAS No. 156, but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans: An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R.” SFAS No. 158 requires recognition of the funded status of postretirement benefit plans in the consolidated statement of financial condition. An employer must recognize an asset or liability in its statement of financial condition for the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the projected benefit obligations. Changes in the plan’s funded status must be recognized, in the year of change, in comprehensive income.

Additionally, SFAS No. 158 will require entities to measure the funded status of the plan as of the date of the year-end statement of financial condition, with a few exceptions.

The recognition provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2006, or March 31, 2007, as to the Company. SFAS No. 158 is to be applied as of the end of the year adopted. Retrospective application is prohibited.

The provisions that may require an entity to change the plan measurement date are effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2008, or March 31, 2009, as to the Company.

Management is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 158 but does not expect it to have a material effect on its consolidated statements of financial condition or results of operations.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.”  SAB No. 108 was issued to provide consistency between how registrants quantify financial statement misstatements.

Historically, there have been two widely-used methods for quantifying the effects of financial statement misstatements.  These methods are referred to as the “roll-over” and “iron curtain” method.  The roll-over method quantifies the amount by which the current year income statement is misstated.  Exclusive reliance on an income statement approach can result in the accumulation of errors on the balance sheet that may not have been material to any individual income statement, but which may misstate one or more balance sheet accounts.  The iron curtain method quantifies the error as the cumulative amount by which the current year balance sheet is misstated.   Exclusive reliance on a balance sheet approach can result in disregarding the effects of errors in the current year income statement that results from the correction of an error existing in previously issued financial statements. We currently use the roll-over method for quantifying identified financial statement misstatements.

Recent Accounting Developments (continued)

SAB No. 108 established an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatement on each of the Company’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures.  This approach is commonly referred to as the “dual approach” because it requires quantification of errors under both the roll-over and iron curtain methods. 

SAB No. 108 allows a registrant to initially apply the dual approach either by (1) retroactively adjusting prior financial statements as if the dual approach had always been used, or by (2) recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the dual approach as adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of its fiscal year (April 1, 2006, as to the Company) with an offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Use of this “cumulative effect” transition method requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose.

Management is currently evaluating the requirements of SAB No. 108 but does not expect it to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position or results of operations.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Specifically, FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax provision taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the related derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure, and transition of uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, or April 1, 2007 as to the Company. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of FIN 48 but does not expect it to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position or results of operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from March 31, 2006 to December 31, 2006

At December 31, 2006, the Company had total assets of $409.0 million, an increase of $5.3 million, or 1.3%, from March 31, 2006 levels.

Liquid assets, consisting of cash, federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits and investment securities, decreased by $7.8 million, or 8.9%, to $79.6 million at December 31, 2006, due primarily to sales and maturities of investment securities totaling $16.3 million. In addition to maturities of available for sale investment securities totaling $11.1 million, investment securities held to maturity decreased $5.2 million due to the maturity of a $2.5 million corporate bond, coupled with management’s decision to sell another $2.5 million corporate bond due to deterioration of the credit rating to sub-investment level. Additionally, the interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions decreased $2.7 million.

Mortgage-backed securities increased by $8.0 million, or 14.4%, during the nine months ended December 31, 2006. Due to a decline in loan demand, management elected to use proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities to fund purchases of mortgage-backed securities, totaling $15.6 million during the period. In addition, the market value of the mortgage-backed securities portfolio increased by $0.3 million. Such purchases and the market value increase were partially offset by principal repayments totaling $7.9 million.

At December 31, 2006 loans receivable increased by $5.4 million, or 2.3%, compared to March 31, 2006, as the Bank originated and retained $44.1 million of loans and received payments of $38.6 million. Rather than reinvest funds from repayments on loans in long-term, fixed-rate residential loans, the lending division has focused on the origination of shorter-term and adjustable-rate commercial and commercial real estate loans. The Company believes that investing in shorter-term and adjustable-rate commercial loans positions the Company more favorably from an interest rate risk management perspective. The composition of the loan portfolio has changed during the nine months ended December 31, 2006, due to a net decrease of $5.4 million in residential and construction mortgage loans, offset by increases in nonresidential real estate loans of $8.1 million and a net increase in commercial loans of $2.6 million in connection with the Bank’s increased emphasis on commercial lending.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from March 31, 2006 to December 31, 2006 (continued)

Stockholders’ equity decreased by $234,000, or 0.7%, during the nine months ended December 31, 2006, due primarily to the purchase of treasury stock of $2.0 million and dividends paid of $1.2 million, which were partially offset by net earnings of $1.6 million, a decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale securities of $598,000 and proceeds from stock options exercised of $602,000.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Month Periods Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

General

Net earnings totaled $1.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $562,000, or 52.1%, compared to net earnings of $1.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. The increase in net earnings was primarily attributable to a decrease in general, administrative and other expense of $1.1 million, or 12.7%, partially offset by an increase in federal income taxes of $380,000, or 135.2% and an increase in provision for loan losses of $70,000.

Interest Income

Interest income increased by $2.2 million, or 15.4%, to $16.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. This increase was due primarily to an increase in the weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.89% from 5.27% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2005. Additionally, the average balance of interest-earning assets outstanding increased by $12.2 million to $378.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, from $365.8 million for the comparable period ended December 31, 2005. The yield increase was primarily due to an increase in the prime rate over the past year and the corresponding impact on the Company’s interest-earning assets, particularly investment securities and interest-bearing deposits.

Interest income on loans increased by $1.6 million, or 15.2%, for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, due primarily an increase in the average balance of loans outstanding period to period of $17.2 million, or 7.9%, to $236.9 million for the 2006 period, coupled with an increase in the weighted-average yield of 43 basis points to 6.71% for the nine months ended December 31, 2006.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased by $865,000, or 59.2%, during the nine months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, due primarily to an increase of 136 basis points in the weighted-average yield, to 4.95% in the 2006 period as compared to 3.59% for the comparable 2005 period. The slowdown of prepayments caused premium amortization to decrease, resulting in an increase in interest income on mortgage-backed securities. In addition to the increased weighted-average rate, the average balance increased by $8.4 million, or 15.5% over the nine months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

Interest income on investment securities decreased by $214,000, or 9.3%, during the nine-months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, reflecting a decrease in the average balance of $10.2 million, or 13.2%, to $66.7 million from $76.9 million during the comparable 2005 period, offset by an increase in the weighted-average yield to 4.16% from 3.98% for the nine month period in 2005.

Interest income on interest-bearing deposits increased by $9,000, or 2.6%, for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, due primarily to an increase in the weighted-average yield of 98 basis points, to 4.10% for the 2006 period from 3.12% for the nine months ended December 31, 2005, offset by a decrease in the average balance outstanding of $3.3 million, or 22.0%.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Month Periods Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 (continued)

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $8.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $2.3 million, or 38.0%, over the nine months ended December 31, 2005. The increase resulted from a 77 basis point increase in the weighted-average cost of funds to 3.03% for the 2006 period, coupled with an increase in the average balance of deposits and borrowings outstanding of $10.2 million, or 2.9%, to $361.9 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2006.

Interest expense on deposits totaled $7.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $2.0 million, or 38.3%, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2005, as a result of a 75 basis point increase in the weighted-average cost of deposits to 2.89% for the 2006 period, coupled with an increase in the average balance outstanding of $7.3 million, or 2.3%, to $331.6 million for the 2006 period.
 
Interest expense on borrowings totaled $1.0 for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $274,000, or 35.9%, over the 2005 period, primarily due to an increase in the weighted-average yield of 85 basis points, to 4.58% for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, coupled with an increase in the average balance outstanding of $2.9 million, or 10.6%.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $8.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $34,000, or 0.4%, compared to the nine month period ended December 31, 2005. The average interest rate spread decreased to 2.86% for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 from 3.01% for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. The net interest margin decreased to 2.98% for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 from 3.10% for the nine months ended December 31, 2005.

Provision for Losses on Loans

Management recorded a $70,000 provision for losses on loans for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2006. The Company did not record a provision for losses on loans for the nine month period ended December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the shift in the composition of the loan portfolio discussed above. To the best of management’s knowledge, all known and inherent losses that are probable and which can be reasonably estimated have been recorded as of December 31, 2006.

Other Income

Other income, consisting primarily of the cash surrender value of life insurance, gain on sale of loans, service fees and charges on deposit accounts decreased by $31,000, or 2.3%, for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, as compared with the nine months ending December 31, 2005. Gain on sale of loans decreased by $68,000 due to management’s decision to retain mortgage loans originated in the portfolio instead of selling them into the secondary market. The decrease in income on the cash surrender value of life insurance of $80,000, or 32.4%, was due primarily to the $63,000 benefit received from the bank owned life insurance policy received in fiscal 2006 and a decrease in the average balance on these policies. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $117,000, or 11.6%, in service fees, charges and other operating income, which was mainly comprised of an increase in trust income.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Month Periods Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 (continued)

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense decreased by $1.1 million, or 12.7%, to $7.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2005. Employee compensation and benefits expense decreased by $891,000, or 17.6%, due primarily to an unanticipated pension expense of $438,000 recognized during the nine months ended December 31, 2005, as a result of the death of Company’s former chairman and Chief Executive Officer and management’s successful efforts to reduce the number of full time equivalent employees from 126 at December 31, 2005 to 112 at December 31, 2006. The majority of this reduction occurred through attrition. Additionally, during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2006, management undertook an initiative to enhance the Bank’s sales culture at the branch manager level. In connection with this initiative several employees left the Bank. Franchise taxes were reduced by $217,000, or 55.1%, due primarily to a receivable from an amendment of a prior year return of $97,000 coupled with the effects of the treasury stock repurchase programs from prior years. These decreases were offset by an increase of $28,000, or 2.0%, in occupancy and equipment expense, which was due primarily to data processing expenses needed to facilitate growth in internet banking, the implementation of check imaging technology and increased building maintenance, insurance and taxes at the Company’s branches.

Federal Income Taxes

Federal income tax expense was $661,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $380,000, or 135.2%, compared to the same period in 2005, primarily due to the $942,000, or 69.3%, increase in earnings before taxes. The difference in the effective tax rate from the 34% statutory rate was mainly due to the beneficial effects of income from the cash surrender value on life insurance and other tax-exempt obligations.


Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

General

Net earnings totaled $563,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $392,000, or 229.2%, compared to net earnings of $171,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. The increase in net earnings was primarily attributable to a decrease in general, administrative and other expense of $831,000, or 26.1%, offset by an increase in federal income taxes of $255,000 and a decrease of $140,000, or 4.9%, in net interest income.

Interest Income

Interest income increased by $698,000, or 14.0%, to $5.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.96% for the 2006 period from 5.44% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2005. The increase in yield was primarily due to an increase in the prime rate over the past year and the corresponding impact on the Company’s interest-earning assets, particularly short-term investment securities and interest-bearing deposits.

Interest income on loans increased by $422,000, or 11.6%, for the three months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, due primarily to an increase an increase in the weighted-average yield of 40 basis points to 6.78% coupled with an increase in the average balance of loans outstanding period to period of $11.5 million, or 5.1%, to $238.7 million for the 2006 period.

Interest Income (continued)

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased by $363,000, or 75.2%, during the three months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, due primarily to an increase of 128 basis points in the weighted-average yield, to 5.09% for the 2006 period as compared to 3.81% for the comparable 2005 period. The slowdown of prepayments caused premium amortization to decrease, resulting in an increase in interest income on mortgage-backed securities. In addition to the increased weighted-average rate, the average balance outstanding increased by $15.7 million, or 31.0%.
 
Interest income on investment securities decreased by $136,000, or 17.8%, during the three months ended December 31, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, reflecting a decrease in the average balance outstanding of $14.5 million, or 19.1%, to $61.4 million in the 2006 period from $75.9 million during the comparable 2005 period, partially offset by an increase in the weighted-average yield of 6 basis points to 4.08%.

Interest income on interest-bearing deposits increased by $49,000, or 45.0%, for the three months ended December 31, 2006, due primarily to an increase in the weighted-average yield of 89 basis points to 4.43% from 3.54% for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, coupled with an increase in the average balance outstanding of $1.9 million, or 15.6%.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $838,000, or 39.6%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2005. The increase resulted from an 85 basis point increase in the average cost of funds to 3.24% for the 2006 period, coupled with an increase in the average balance of deposits and borrowings outstanding of $10.6 million, or 3.0%, to $364.3 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2006.

Interest expense on deposits totaled $2.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $690,000, or 37.2%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2005, as a result of an increase in the weighted-average cost of deposits of 81 basis points to 3.09% for the 2006 period, coupled with an increase in the average balance outstanding of $3.6 million, or 1.1%, to $329.7 million for the 2006 period.
 
Interest expense on borrowings totaled $410,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $148,000, or 56.5%, over the 2005 period, primarily due to an increase in the average balance outstanding of $7.0 million, or 25.5%, coupled with an increase in the weighted-average cost of 94 basis points to 4.74% for the three months ended December 31, 2006.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $2.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $140,000, or 4.9%, from the three month period ended December 31, 2005. The average interest rate spread decreased to 2.72% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 from 3.05% for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The net interest margin decreased to 2.86% for the three months ended December 31, 2006 from 3.13% for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The interest rate spread decrease was primarily a result of the Bank’s cost of funds increasing more rapidly than the yield on the Bank’s interest-earning assets, due primarily to the shorter-term nature of the Bank’s deposits, competition for deposits in the Bank’s local market area and consumer preference for higher yielding certificates of deposit.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 (continued)

Provision for Losses on Loans 

Management recorded a $10,000 provision for losses on loans for the three-month period ended December 31, 2006. The Company did not record a provision for losses on loans for the three month period ending December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the shift in the composition of the loan portfolio discussed above. To the best of management’s knowledge, all known and inherent losses that are probable and which can be reasonably estimated have been recorded as of December 31, 2006.

Other Income

Other income, consisting primarily of the cash surrender value of life insurance, gain on sale of loans, service fees, and charges on deposit accounts decreased by $34,000, or 7.3%, for the three months ended December 31, 2006 as compared with the quarter ended December 31, 2005. The cash surrender value of life insurance decreased by $65,000, or 53.3%, mainly due to the benefit received from the bank owned life insurance policy in fiscal 2006. These decreases were offset by an increase of $30,000, or 8.7%, in service fees, charges and other operating income, which was mainly comprised of general depositor service charges coupled with an increase in trust income.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense decreased by $831,000, or 26.1%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2005. Employee compensation and benefits expense decreased by $625,000, or 31.9%, due primarily to an unanticipated pension expense of $420,000 as a result of the death of Company’s former chairman and Chief Executive Officer in fiscal 2006, coupled with management’s successful efforts to reduce the number of full time equivalent employees from 126 at December 31, 2005 to 112 at December 31, 2006. The majority of this reduction occurred through attrition. Franchise taxes were reduced by $154,000, or 115.8%, as a result of a receivable created by an amendment of a prior year return of $97,000 in addition to the treasury stock repurchase programs from prior years. A decrease of $46,000, or 8.0%, in other operating expense was due primarily to a decrease in marketing and charitable contribution expenditures.

Federal Income Taxes

Federal income tax expense was $229,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $255,000 compared to the same period in 2005, primarily due to the $647,000 increase in earnings before taxes. The difference in the effective tax rate from the 34% statutory rate is mainly due to the beneficial effects of income from the cash surrender value on life insurance and other tax-exempt obligations.
