NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six and three month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006


1.
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six and three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 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, 2007.

 
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 six and three month periods ended September 30, 2007 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.

None of the outstanding options were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 as the average share price was less than the option exercise prices.  All of  the outstanding options were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the six month periods ended in both 2007 and 2006 and for three month period ended September 30, 2006.

4.             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 September 30, 2007.  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 September 30, 2007, 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.

The Company accounts for the stock plan in accordance with 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 six and three month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.  There was no compensation expense recognized for the stock option plan during the three or six month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, as all options were fully vested prior to these periods.

5.             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 adopted SFAS No. 156 effective April 1, 2007, as required, without material effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition 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 adopted FIN 48 effective April 1, 2007, as required, without material effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”  This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This Statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and should be determined based on assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability.  This Statement clarifies that market participant assumptions should include assumptions about risk as well as the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset.  Additionally, this Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that provides the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data.  This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, or April 1, 2008 as to the Company, and interim periods within that fiscal year.  The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”  This Statement allows companies the choice to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments.  This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, or April 1, 2008 as to the Company, and interim periods within that fiscal year.  Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.”  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the financial statements.

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


Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from March 31, 2007 to September 30, 2007

At September 30, 2007, the Company had total assets of $398.9 million, a decrease of $6.8 million, or 1.7%, from March 31, 2007 levels.

Liquid assets, consisting of cash, federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits and investment securities, decreased by $17.3 million, or 24.1%, during the six months ended September 30, 2007, to $54.6 million.  Investment securities decreased by $10.0 million, due primarily to maturities totaling $16.7 million, partially offset by purchases of $6.6 million.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $17.3 million, including a reduction of federal funds sold of $6.6 million.  The decrease in federal funds sold is directly related to the reduction in deposit balances, as management chose to use such funds to redeem certain higher rate certificates of deposit as part of its efforts to reduce the Company’s cost of funds by using lower rate advances rather than certificates of deposit with higher rates due to competitive pressures in the Company’s market area.

Mortgage-backed securities increased by $5.3 million, or 7.7%, during the six months ended September 30, 2007.  Management utilized funds from principal repayments and proceeds from maturities of investment securities to purchase $16.5 million of mortgage-backed securities during the period.  The purchases were partially offset by $11.0 million in principal repayments coupled with a decrease in market value of $110,000.

At September 30, 2007, loans receivable increased by $5.4 million, or 2.2%, compared to March 31, 2007, as the Bank originated and retained $31.1 million of loans and received payments of $25.7 million.  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 six months ended September 30, 2007, due to a net increase of $3.6 million in non-residential real estate loans, and an increase of $699,000 in consumer loans, which were offset by a decrease in commercial loans of $739,000 and a decrease of $2.0 million in one- to four-family residential loans.

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

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from March 31, 2007 to September 30, 2007 (continued)

Loans past due 30-89 days increased to $1.2 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $0.3 million at March 31, 2007.  Management believes that the increase is due mainly to local economic conditions and these conditions have been considered as part of management’s analysis of the allowance for loan losses and the provision for losses on loans made during the period as discussed under results of operations below.

Non-performing loans amounted to $840,000 at September 30, 2007, compared with $950,000 in non-performing loans at March 31, 2007.  Such loans as of September 30, 2007 consisted entirely of residential mortgage loans compared to March 31, 2007, when non-performing loans were comprised of $683,000 in residential mortgage loans and a $267,000 commercial business loan, which is sixty days past due as of September 30, 2007.  Historically, the Company generally has not recognized significant losses on non-performing loans secured by residential mortgages.  The following table sets forth information regarding our past due, nonaccrual and impaired loans and real estate acquired through foreclosure as of September 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007.

Deposits totaled $322.6 million at September 30, 2007, a decrease of $10.9 million, or 3.3%, from $333.5 million at March 31, 2007.  Certificates of deposit decreased by $8.6 million, savings accounts decreased by $5.0 million and NOW accounts decreased by $600,000.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase in money market deposits of $3.3 million.  The Company continues to experience a shift in depositor preference from low cost liquid deposit accounts to higher cost money market and retail certificate accounts.  Management exercised discipline during the period, particularly the July to September quarter, with regard to the pricing of retail certificates.  In general, management attempts to benchmark retail certificate of deposit pricing to the cost of alternate sources of funds, including Federal Home Loan Bank advances and brokered deposits.  Exceptions are made to maintain customer relationships with significant value to the Bank while allowing rate sensitive certificate of deposit shoppers to move to other alternatives.  The local deposit market has been negatively affected by national and online competitors offering higher rates to address liquidity concerns in national markets.

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


Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from March 31, 2007 to September 30, 2007 (continued)

Borrowings totaled $39.0 million at September 30, 2007 as compared with $34.5 million at March 31, 2007.  The Company increased its borrowings to compensate for the loss of  higher cost retail certificates of deposit and lower cost passbook savings accounts as discussed above.

Stockholders’ equity decreased by $365,000, or 1.1%, during the six months ended September 30, 2007, due primarily to the purchase of treasury stock of $643,000, dividends of $760,000 and an increase in unrealized losses on available for sale securities of $32,000, which were partially offset by net income of $1.1 million.


Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Month Periods Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

General

Net income totaled $1,070,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $7,000, or 0.6%, compared to net income of $1,077,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2006.  The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to a decrease in net interest income of $137,000 or 2.4%, partially offset by a decrease in federal income taxes of $64,000, or 14.8%, an increase in other income of $60,000, or 7.0%, a decrease in general, administrative and other expense of $1,000 and a decrease of $5,000, or 8.3%, in the provision for losses on loans.

Interest Income

Interest income increased by $478,000, or 4.3%, to $11.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006.  This increase was due to an increase in the weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets to 6.15% in the 2007 period from 5.85% for the six month period ended September 30, 2006.  This increase was offset by a $2.6 million decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets outstanding to $374.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2007, from $376.6 million for the comparable period ended September 30, 2006. The yield increase was primarily due to a change in the composition of loans, mainly due to the increase in higher rate nonresidential real estate, commercial, and land loans.

Interest income on loans increased by $438,000, or 5.6%, for the six months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006, due primarily an increase in the average balance of loans outstanding period to period of $6.8 million, or 2.9%, to $242.8 million for the 2007 period, coupled with an increase in the weighted-average yield of 18 basis points to 6.85% for the six months ended September 30, 2007.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased by $426,000, or 28.8%, during the six months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006.  This was primarily due to an increase of $11.7 million, or 19.3%, in the average balance outstanding and a 39 basis point increase in the weighted-average yield to 5.27%.  The increase in the average balance was mainly due to reinvestment of lower yielding maturing investment securities.

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


Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Month Periods Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (continued)

Interest Income (continued)

Interest income on investment securities decreased by $450,000, or 30.9%, during the six-months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006, reflecting a decrease in the average balance outstanding of $22.4 million, or 32.2%, to $47.0 million for the 2007 period from $69.4 million during the comparable 2006 period, partially offset by an increase in the weighted-average yield to 4.28% from 4.19% for the six month period in 2006.  The decrease in the average balance was due to management’s decision to reinvest maturing proceeds in higher yielding loans and mortgage-backed securities.

Interest income on interest-bearing deposits increased by $64,000, or 31.7%, for the six months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006, due primarily to an increase in the average balance outstanding of $1.3 million, or 12.8%, coupled with an increase in the weighted-average yield of 65 basis points, to 4.52% for the 2007 period from 3.87% for the six months ended September 30, 2006.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $5.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $615,000, or 11.7%, over the six months ended September 30, 2006.  The increase resulted from a 36 basis point increase in the weighted-average cost of funds to 3.29% for the 2007 period, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of deposits and borrowings outstanding of $2.6 million to $358.1 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2007.

Interest expense on deposits totaled $5.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $420,000, or 9.0%, compared to the six months ended September 30, 2006, as a result of a 33 basis point increase in the weighted-average cost of deposits to 3.13% for the 2007 period, which was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance outstanding of $8.5 million, or 2.6%, to $324.1 million for the 2007 period.

Interest expense on borrowings totaled $823,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $195,000, or 31.1%, over the 2006 period, primarily due to an increase in the average balance outstanding of $6.0 million, or 21.4%, coupled with an increase in the weighted-average yield of 36 basis points, to 4.83% for the six months ended September 30, 2007.

As discussed under the analysis of financial condition above, management selectively used lower cost FHLB advances and cash balances to redeem certain higher rate certificates of deposit as an alternative to offering higher rates to compete with competitors in the Company’s area for retail deposits.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $5.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $137,000, or 2.4%, compared to the six month period ended September 30, 2006.  The average interest rate spread decreased to 2.86% for the six months ended September 30, 2007 from 2.92% for the six months ended September 30, 2006.  The net interest margin decreased to 2.99% for the six months ended September 30, 2007 from 3.05% for the six months ended September 30, 2006.  The average interest rate spread decreased mainly due to the cost of deposits increasing at a higher rate than the yield on loans, as maturing certificates of deposit renewed from older, lower rates into higher current rates.  Management has allowed runoff in the retail certificate of deposit portfolio, through a limited response to competitive pricing pressure to limit the increase in the cost of deposits.

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


Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Month Periods Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 (continued)

Provision for Losses on Loans

Management recorded a $55,000 provision for losses on loans for the six month period ended September 30, 2007 and $60,000 for the comparable period in 2006.  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 September 30, 2007.

Other Income

Other income, consisting primarily of the cash surrender value of life insurance, trust income, service fees and charges on deposit accounts, increased by $60,000, or 7.0%, for the six months ended September 30, 2007,  compared to the six months ended September 30, 2006.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in trust income of $43,000, including a $14,000 one-time estate administration fee, for the six months ended September 30, 2007,  a $31,000 gain on sale of real estate acquired through foreclosure and an increase of $6,000 in cash surrender value of life insurance.  These increases were offset by a $20,000 decrease in service fees.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense decreased by $1,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the six months ended September 30, 2006.  The two areas of increase were occupancy and equipment expense of $48,000 and other operating expense of $20,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2007.  These increases were offset by a decrease of $64,000 in employee compensation and benefits.

The occupancy and equipment expense increase was due primarily to a non-capital furniture and equipment expense increase of $29,000, an increase of $17,000 in repair costs, an increase of $15,000 in ATM expenses and $9,000 of increased travel expense.  These increases were offset by a $27,000 decrease in depreciation expense.

The increase in other operating expense was mainly due to an increase of $41,000 in internet banking costs as the number of customers and activity levels increased.  We also had a $29,000 increase in costs related to a direct marketing campaign. These increases were offset by decreases of $20,000 in legal expense and a decrease in charitable contributions and organizational dues of $17,000.

The decrease in compensation and benefits of $64,000 was mainly due to the $84,000 of severance costs incurred in September 2006 due to management’s decision to restructure the Bank’s branch organization to enhance sales and customer service which were partially offset by the annual merit increases awarded to employees, a $15,000 decrease in stock compensation expense due to a decline in the fair value of the Company’s shares and a $6,000 decrease in employee education expense. These decreases were offset mainly by an increase in benefit costs of $29,000 and an increase of $19,000 in retirement plan expense.

Federal Income Taxes

Federal income tax expense was $368,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $64,000, or 14.8%, compared to the same period in 2006, primarily due to the $71,000, or 4.7%, decrease 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 September 30, 2007 and 2006

General

Net income totaled $547,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $63,000, or 13.0%, compared to net income of $484,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006.  The increase in net income was primarily attributable to a decrease in total general, administrative and other expenses of $8,000, or 0.3%, a decrease in federal income taxes of $10,000, or 5.1%, an increase in other income of $38,000, or 8.8%, and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $5,000, or 16.7%.

Interest Income

Interest income increased by $215,000, or 3.9%, to $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006.  This increase was due to an increase in the weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets to 6.21% in the 2007 period from 5.91% for the three month period ended September 30, 2006.  This increase was offset by a $4.6 million decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets outstanding to $372.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, from $377.5 million for the comparable period ended September 30, 2006. The yield increase was primarily due to a change in the composition of loans, mainly due to the increase in higher rate nonresidential real estate and land loans.

Interest income on loans increased by $239,000, or 6.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006, due primarily an increase in the average balance of loans outstanding period to period of $8.9 million, or 3.8%, to $245.5 million for the 2007 period, coupled with an increase in the weighted-average yield of 14 basis points to 6.88% for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased by $203,000, or 26.0%, during the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006.  This was primarily due to an increase of $10.4 million, or 16.5%, in the average balance outstanding and a 41 basis point increase in the weighted-average yield to 5.38%.  The increase in the average balance was mainly due to reinvestment of lower yielding maturing investment securities.

Interest income on investment securities decreased by $239,000, or 33.6%, during the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006, reflecting a decrease in the average balance outstanding of $23.7 million, or 35.0%, to $44.0 million for the 2007 period from $67.8 million during the comparable 2006 period, partially offset by an increase in the weighted-average yield to 4.30% from 4.20% for the three month period in 2006.  The decrease in the average balance was due to management’s decision to reinvest maturing proceeds in higher yielding loans and mortgage-backed securities.

Interest income on interest-bearing deposits increased by $12,000, or 12.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006, due primarily to an increase in the weighted-average yield of 52 basis points, to 4.40% for the 2007 period from 3.88% for the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $213,000, or 7.7%, over the three months ended September 30, 2006.  The increase resulted from a 27 basis point increase in the weighted-average cost of funds to 3.33% for the 2007 period, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of deposits and borrowings outstanding of $4.0 million to $357.6 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2007.

Interest expense on deposits totaled $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $121,000, or 5.0%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006, as a result of a 24 basis point increase in the weighted-average cost of deposits to 3.16% for the 2007 period, which was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance outstanding of $9.8 million, or 2.9%, to $321.7 million for the 2007 period.

Interest expense on borrowings totaled $437,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $92,000, or 26.7%, over the 2006 period, primarily due to an increase in the average balance outstanding of $5.8 million, or 19.1%, coupled with an increase in the weighted-average yield of 29 basis points, to 4.87% for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  As discussed under the analysis of financial condition above, management selectively used lower cost FHLB advances and cash balances to redeem certain higher rate certificates of deposit as an alternative to offering higher rates to compete with competitors in the Company’s area for retail deposits.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $2,000 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2006.  The average interest rate spread increased to 2.88% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 2.85% for the three months ended September 30, 2006.  The net interest margin increased to 3.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 2.98% for the three months ended September 30, 2006.  The slight increase in the average interest rate spread was due to a shift in asset composition from lower yielding investment securities and overnight deposits to higher yielding loans and mortgage-backed securities.  This was offset by the increase in cost of borrowings and the cost of deposits increasing at a higher rate than the yield on loans, as maturing certificates of deposit renewed from older, lower rates into higher current rates.  Management has allowed runoff in the retail certificate of deposit portfolio, through a limited response to competitive pricing pressure to limit the increase in the cost of deposits.

Provision for Losses on Loans

Management recorded a $25,000 provision for losses on loans for the three month period ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $5,000 from the comparable period in 2006.  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 September 30, 2007.

Other Income

Other income, consisting primarily of the cash surrender value of life insurance, trust income, service fees and charges on deposit accounts, increased by $38,000, or 8.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006.  The increase was primarily due to a $31,000 gain on sale of real estate acquired through foreclosure, an increase in trust income of $14,000 and a $3,000 increase in cash surrender value of life insurance for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  These increases were mainly offset by an increase in the mortgage servicing asset amortization of $9,000.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense decreased by $8,000, or 0.3%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006.  The increase was due primarily to increases in occupancy and equipment expense of $20,000, franchise tax expense of $18,000 and other operating expense of $5,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  These increases were offset by a decrease of $49,000 in compensation and benefits

The occupancy and equipment expense increase was due primarily to the non-capital furniture and equipment expense of $18,000 coupled with an increase of $9,000 in ATM expenses due to increased volume.  These increases were offset by a $13,000 decrease in depreciation expense.

The increase in other operating expense was mainly due to an increase of $18,000 in internet banking, as the usage increased, and a reduction of fraudulent and non-sufficient checks of $13,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006.

The decrease in compensation and benefits of $49,000 was mainly due to a reduction in compensation in September 2006 due to management’s decision to restructure the Bank’s sales culture partially offset by the annual merit increases awarded to employees.  The Company also had an $8,000 decrease in stock compensation expense due to a decline in the fair value of the Company’s shares. These decreases in compensation and benefits expense were offset by a $7,000 increase in retirement plan contributions expense and an increase of $11,000 in healthcare costs.

Federal Income Taxes

Federal income tax expense was $185,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $10,000, or 5.1%, compared to the same period in 2006.  The effect of increased earnings before taxes was more than offset by increased beneficial effects from income from the cash surrender value of life insurance and other tax-exempt obligations.  The effective tax rate was 25.3% and 28.7% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  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.
