Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2008 and for the nine and three months ended December 31, 2007 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, 2008. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except for the adoption of EITF 06-4, as described in "Recent Accounting Pronouncements," the Company has consistently followed these policies in preparing this Form 10-Q.

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, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2008 has been derived from the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date.

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 collectibility as of the reporting date. Such evaluation, which included a review of all loans on which full collectibility 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.

Note 2:

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed 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 full-service offices in Wayne, Holmes, Ashland, Medina and Stark counties. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Note 3:

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, less shares in the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) that are unallocated and not committed to be released. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of all additional potential common shares issuable under the Company’s stock option plan. The computations are as follows:

	For the nine months ended				For the three months ended
	December 31,				December 31,
	2008		2007		2008		2007

Weighted-average common shares
outstanding (basic)		2,903,599		3,061,671		2,902,525		3,027,848
Dilutive effect of assumed exercise
of stock options		-		-		-		-
Weighted-average common shares
outstanding (diluted)		2,903,599		3,061,671		2,902,525		3,027,848

None of the outstanding options were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the nine or three month periods ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, as the average fair value of the shares was less than the option exercise prices.

Note 4:

Stock Option Plan

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, 2008, 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 the three or nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. There was no compensation expense recognized for the stock option plan during the three or nine month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, as all options were fully vested prior to these periods.

Note 5:

Recent Accounting Developments

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“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 Company adopted this Statement effective April 1, 2008, as required, without material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Index

Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 effective April 1, 2008, as required, without material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force’s (EITF) Issue 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” which required the Company to recognize a liability and related compensation costs for endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies that provide a benefit to an employee extending to postretirement periods. The liability of $448,000 was recognized based on the substantive agreement with the employee. The Issue was adopted as a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of April 1, 2008, as required.

Note 6:

Fair Value Measurements

Effective April 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 has been applied prospectively as of the beginning of the period.

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2

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 for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

Level 3

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Index

Wayne Savings Bancshares, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Available-for-sale Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include U.S. Government agencies, mortgage-backed securities, equity securities, certain collateralized mortgage obligations and certain municipal securities. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy and include other less liquid securities.

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying balance sheet measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the SFAS No. 157 fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at December 31, 2008:

Impaired Loans

At December 31, 2008, impaired loans consisted primarily of loans secured by multi-family residential real estate, nonresidential and commercial real estate. Management has determined fair value measurements on impaired loans primarily through evaluation of appraisals performed.

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the level within the SFAS No. 157 fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at December 31, 2008.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial

Condition and Results of Operations

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from March 31, 2008 to December 31, 2008

At December 31, 2008, the Company had total assets of $405.4 million, an increase of $3.8 million, or .9%, from total assets at March 31, 2008.

Liquid assets, consisting of cash, federal funds sold, interest-bearing demand deposits and available for sale securities, decreased by $8.4 million, or 6.3%, to $124.8 million at December 31, 2008, due primarily to a reduction of $6.0 million, or 5.0%, in available for sale securities, coupled with a decrease in federal funds sold of $6.0 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing demand deposits of $2.0 million, or 39.7% and an increase in cash of $1.6 million, or 83.4%. The decrease in liquid assets was principally used to fund growth in the Company’s loan portfolio as described below.

Total securities decreased by $6.0 million, or 5.0%, during the nine months ended December 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily due to principal repayments of $24.2 million, and an aggregate decrease in the market value of available for sale securities of $.4 million. This was partially offset by purchases of $18.5 million. Purchases were funded by principal repayments on loans, proceeds from maturities of investment securities and from the reduction of the federal funds sold balance.

At December 31, 2008, net loans receivable increased by $12.9 million, or 5.3%, compared to March 31, 2008, as the Bank originated and retained $29.0 million of loans and received payments of $15.1 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, compared to the origination of long term fixed-rate residential mortgages. The composition of the loan portfolio has changed during the nine months ended December 31, 2008, mainly due to a net increase of $9.6 million in non-residential loans and an increase of $5.8 million in commercial business loans.

Condition and Results of Operations

Non-performing loans amounted to $2.0 million and $1.9 million at December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2008, non-performing loans consisted primarily of residential mortgage loans of approximately $1.4 million, two commercial real estate loans with a combined balance of $327,000, $89,000 in home equity lines of credit and two commercial loans totaling $189,000. At March 31, 2008, non-performing loans were comprised of $670,000 in residential loans, $1.0 million in commercial real estate loans, $120,000 in home equity lines of credit and one commercial loan of $42,000, which was paid off in June 2008. Real estate owned amounted to $735,000 at December 31, 2008 compared to $93,000 at March 31, 2008. The increase was due to the transfer of a $610,000 non-residential property from a non-performing loan status to real estate acquired through foreclosure. Total non-performing assets amounted to $2.8 million at December 31, 2008 compared to $2.0 million at March 31, 2008. The increase was mainly due to an increase in non-performing residential mortgage loans. The Company generally has not realized 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 December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2008.

Condition and Results of Operations

Deposits totaled $310.8 million at December 31, 2008, a decrease of $6.9 million, or 2.2%, from $317.7 million at March 31, 2008. Certificates of deposit decreased by $5.9 million and savings and money market accounts decreased by $1.6 million, which were partially offset by an increase in NOW accounts of $2.6 million. Management exercised discipline during the period 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 defend 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.

Other short-term borrowings totaled $11.6 million at December 31, 2008, an increase of $4.3 million, or 58.9%, as compared with $7.3 million at March 31, 2008. The interest rate paid on these borrowings is .40%, which over the past year has declined 280 basis points as the Federal Reserve lowered rates.

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati totaled $44.5 million at December 31, 2008, an increase of $6.0 million, or 15.6%, compared with $38.5 million at March 31, 2008. The Company increased its borrowings to compensate for the loss of higher cost retail certificates of deposit as discussed above and to extend liability duration for interest rate risk management purposes.

Stockholders’ equity decreased by $17,000, or .1%, during the nine months ended December 31, 2008, due primarily to a decrease in unrealized gains on available for sale securities of $276,000, dividends declared of $1.1 million, a $448,000 reduction due to the adoption of EITF Issue 06-4, which required the Company to record a liability for the postretirement cost of the split dollar life insurance agreements related to bank owned life insurance, and a stock repurchase of $49,000. These decreases were partially offset by net income of $1.7 million and a reduction in unallocated ESOP shares of $86,000 through the annual allocation process.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Month Periods Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

General

Net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 totaled $1.7 million, an increase of $200,000, or 13.2%, compared to net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2007. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income of $617,000, or 7.4%, partially offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses of $151,000, an increase in total non-interest expenses of $101,000, a decrease in non-interest income of $65,000 and an increase in the provision for federal income taxes of $100,000.

Condition and Results of Operations

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by $1.0 million or 6.0%, to $16.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in the weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.73% in the 2008 period from 6.15% for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007. The yield decrease was primarily due to the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cuts of 400 basis points from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008.

Interest income on loans decreased by $910,000, or 7.3%, for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, due primarily to a reduction in weighted-average rate on loans of 61 basis points from 6.83% for the period ended December 31, 2007 to 6.22% for the December 31, 2008 period. As discussed earlier, this was mainly due to a decrease in rates of 400 basis points implemented by the Federal Reserve over the past year and the corresponding impact on adjustable rate loans and new originations. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of loans outstanding period to period of $4.3 million, or 1.8%, to $248.8 million for the 2008 period.

Interest income on securities increased by $2,000, or 0.1%, during the nine months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the weighted-average yield to 4.99% for the period ended December 31, 2008 from 4.92% for the period ended December 31, 2007.

Dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank stock and other income decreased by $138,000, or 36.9%, for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, due primarily to a decrease in the weighted-average yield of 170 basis points resulting from reductions in short term market interest rates, to 2.77% for the 2008 period from 4.47% for the nine months ended December 31, 2007.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $7.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 18.6%, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease resulted from a 64 basis point decrease in the weighted-average cost of funds to 2.67% for the 2008 period, partially offset by an increase of $3.5 million in the average balance of deposits and borrowings outstanding, from $359.5 million to $363.1 million for the nine month period ended December 31, 2008.

Interest expense on deposits totaled $5.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 22.3%, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2007, as a result of a 65 basis point decrease in the weighted-average cost of deposits to 2.47% for the 2008 period coupled with a decrease in the average balance outstanding of $4.9 million, or 1.6%, to $313.1 million for the 2008 period. The decrease in the rate was due to the Federal Reserve rate decreases discussed above.

Interest expense on other short-term borrowings totaled $57,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $122,000, from the 2007 period, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted-average cost of 510 basis points, to .85% for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 due to the Federal Reserve rate decreases. This was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of short-term borrowings of $2.9 million.

Condition and Results of Operations

Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaled $1.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $116,000, over the 2007 period, primarily due to an increase in the average balance of $5.6 million, or 15.7%, as the Company replaced the loss of higher cost retail certificates of deposit with lower cost Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $9.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $617,000, or 7.4%, compared to the nine month period ended December 31, 2007. The average interest rate spread increased to 3.07% for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 from 2.84% for the nine months ended December 31, 2007, due to management’s strategy not to compete with national and online competitors offering higher rates on deposits in the national markets. The increase in the average interest rate spread was also due to a shift in asset composition from lower yielding investment securities and deposits to higher yielding loans and mortgage-backed securities and a shift in composition of liabilities from higher cost retail certificates of deposit to lower cost Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The net interest margin increased to 3.18% for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 from 2.98% for the nine months ended December 31, 2007.

Provision for Loan Losses

Management recorded a $346,000 provision for loan losses for the nine month period ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $151,000 compared to the provision for the same period in 2007, primarily due to the increase in non-performing loans and charge-offs during the period. 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, 2008.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income, consisting primarily of the earnings on bank-owned life insurance, trust income, service fees and charges on deposit accounts, decreased by $65,000, or 4.7%, for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in service fees, charges and other operating income of $32,000, or 3.1% coupled with a decrease in gain on disposal of foreclosed assets of $21,000, or 67.7%, in the nine months ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period ended December 31, 2007.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased by $101,000, or 1.3%, to $7.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2007. The increase was mainly due to an increase in franchise tax of $58,000, or 19.9%, to $349,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2007. The increase was due primarily to refund claims filed in the 2007 period relating to prior years amended returns. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $45,000, or 3.0%, mainly due to an increase in real estate tax expense and additional maintenance costs. Compensation expense increased by $31,000, or 0.7%, during the 2008 period due primarily to an increase in accrued compensation year to year.

The increase was primarily due to the increase in income before taxes of $300,000, or 14.9%, compared to the same period in 2007. The effective tax rates were 25.7% and 24.5% for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Condition and Results of Operations

Interest Income

Interest income decreased by $418,000 or 7.2%, to $5.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. This decrease was due to a decrease in the weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.72% in the 2008 period from 6.14% for the three month period ended December 31, 2007 and a decrease of $838,000 in the average balance of interest-earning assets outstanding to $378.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008, from $379.3 million for the comparable period ended December 31, 2007. The yield decrease was primarily due to the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cuts from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008.

Interest income on loans decreased by $277,000, or 6.6%, for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, due primarily to a reduction in weighted-average rate on loans from 6.78% for the quarter ending December 31, 2007 to 6.13% for the December 31, 2008 quarter. As discussed earlier, this was mainly due to a decrease in rates of 400 basis points implemented by the Federal Reserve over the past year and the corresponding impact on adjustable rate loans and new originations. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of loans outstanding period to period of $8.4 million, or 3.4%, to $256.4 million for the 2008 period.

Interest income on securities decreased by $98,000, or 6.5%, during the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. This decrease was primarily due to a $9.5 million, or 7.8%, reduction in the average balance of securities, slightly offset by an increase in the weighted average rate to 5.06% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to 4.99% for the same period ended December 31, 2007.

Dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank stock and other income decreased by $43,000, or 39.8%, for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007, due primarily to a decrease in the weighted-average yield of 178 basis points resulting from reductions in short term market interest rates, to 2.57% for the 2008 quarter from 4.35% for the period ended December 31, 2007.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $740,000, or 24.4%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease resulted from an 82 basis point decrease in the weighted-average cost of funds to 2.52% for the 2008 period, partially offset by an increase of $1.1 million in the average balance of deposits and borrowings outstanding from $362.4 million to $363.5 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2008.

Interest expense on deposits totaled $1.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $695,000, or 27.9%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007, as a result of an 84 basis point decrease in the weighted-average cost of deposits to 2.31% for the 2008 period coupled with a decrease in the average balance outstanding of $5.4 million, or 1.7%, to $311.3 million for the 2008 period. The decrease in the rate was due to the Federal Reserve rate decreases discussed above.

Interest expense on other short-term borrowings totaled $13,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $49,000, from the 2007 period, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted-average cost of 291 basis points, to .55% for the three months ended December 31, 2008, due to the Federal Reserve rate decreases. This was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of short-term borrowings of $2.4 million.

Condition and Results of Operations

Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaled $479,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $4,000, over the 2007 period, primarily due to an increase in the average balance of $4.1 million, or 10.9%, as the Company replaced the loss of higher cost retail certificates of deposit with lower cost Federal Home Loan Bank advances. This was offset by a decrease of 44 basis points in the weighted-average cost of Federal Home Loan Bank advances to 4.50% for the 2008 period.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $3.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $322,000, or 11.5%, compared to the three month period ended December 31, 2007. The average interest rate spread increased to 3.20% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from 2.80% for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The net interest margin increased to 3.30% for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from 2.95% for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The increase in the average interest rate spread was due to a shift in asset composition from lower yielding investment securities and deposits to higher yielding loans and mortgage-backed securities and a shift in composition of liabilities from higher cost retail certificates of deposit to lower cost Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Provision for Loan Losses

Management recorded a $185,000 provision for loan losses for the three month period ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $45,000 compared to the provision for the same period in 2007, primarily due to the increase in non-performing loans and charge-offs during the period. 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, 2008.

Noninterest Income

Non-interest income, consisting primarily of the earnings on bank-owned life insurance, trust income, service fees and charges on deposit accounts, decreased by $37,000, or 8.1%, for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in service fees, charges and other operating income of $34,000, or 9.6%, coupled with a $4,000, or 6.8% decrease in earnings on bank-owned life insurance in the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period ended December 31, 2007.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased by $25,000, or 1.0%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007. The increase was mainly due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $36,000, or 2.6%, related to an increase in accrued compensation period to period. Franchise tax expense increased $31,000, or 32.0%, to $128,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007, mainly due to refund claims filed in the 2007 period relating to prior years amended returns.

Federal Income Taxes

Federal income tax expense was $202,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $77,000, or 61.6%, compared to the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily due to an increase in income before taxes of $215,000, or 37.7%, compared to the same period in 2007. The effective tax rates were 25.7% and 21.9% for the three month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
