(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Jefferson Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company" or "Jefferson
Bancshares") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jefferson Federal Bank
(the "Bank" or "Jefferson Federal"). The unaudited financial statements
of Jefferson Bancshares, Inc. were prepared with generally accepted
accounting principles and with instructions for Form 10-Q and,
therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete
presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
financial statements contain all adjustments, which are normal and
recurring in nature, necessary for fair presentation of the interim
financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended
December 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results which
may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These unaudited
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30,
2004.
(2) CORPORATE REORGANIZATION AND STOCK OFFERING
-------------------------------------------
On March 4, 2003, the Boards of Directors of Jefferson Bancshares, MHC
(the "MHC") and the Bank adopted a Plan of Conversion to convert the
MHC from mutual to stock form and to complete a related stock offering
in which shares of common stock representing the MHC's ownership
interest in the Bank would be sold to investors (the "Conversion").
The Plan of Conversion was approved by the stockholders and depositors
of the Bank on June 25, 2003. The reorganization and stock offering
were completed on July 1, 2003. As of that date, the Company sold
6,612,500 shares of common stock for $10.00 per share. After taking
into consideration estimated related expenses of approximately $1.6
million, net proceeds from the stock offering amounted to approximately
$64.5 million. An additional 1,388,485 shares were issued to existing
stockholders, based on an exchange rate of 4.2661 shares of Company
common stock for each existing share of Bank common stock, and 375,000
shares were issued to the Jefferson Federal Charitable Foundation,
resulting in the total issuance of 8,375,985 shares. Cash was paid in
lieu of fractional shares.
Upon completion of the Conversion and stock offering, the MHC ceased to
exist and its net assets of $111,000 were transferred to the Bank.
The Conversion was accounted for as a change in corporate form with no
subsequent change in the historical basis of the Company's assets,
liabilities and equity.
(3) LIMITATION ON CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS
-----------------------------------
Office of Thrift Supervision regulations impose limitations upon all
capital distributions by a savings institution, including cash
dividends, payments to repurchase its shares and payments to
shareholders of another institution in a cash-out merger. Under the
regulations, an application to and the prior approval of the Office of
Thrift Supervision is required prior to any capital distribution if the
institution does not meet the criteria for "expedited treatment" of
applications under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations (i.e.,
generally, examination ratings in the two top categories), the total
capital distributions for the calendar year exceed net income for that
year plus the amount of retained net income for the preceding two
7
8
years, the institution would be undercapitalized following the
distribution or the distribution would otherwise be contrary to a
statute, regulation or agreement with or condition imposed by the
Office of Thrift Supervision. If an application is not required, the
institution must still provide prior notice to the Office of Thrift
Supervision of the capital distribution if, like Jefferson Federal, it
is a subsidiary of a holding company. In addition, the Office of Thrift
Supervision could prohibit a proposed capital distribution by any
institution, which would otherwise be permitted by the regulation, if
the Office of Thrift Supervision determined that such distribution
would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. In the event Jefferson
Federal's capital falls below its regulatory requirements or the Office
of Thrift Supervision notifies it that it is in need of more than
normal supervision, Jefferson Federal's ability to make capital
distributions could be restricted. Jefferson Federal also may not make
a capital distribution if the distribution would reduce its regulatory
capital below the amount needed for the liquidation account established
in connection with the Conversion described in Note 2.
(4) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
-------------------------
Earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share have
been computed on the basis of dividing net earnings by the
weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. The
following table illustrates the number of weighted-average shares of
common stock used in each corresponding earnings per common share
calculation:

Diluted Earnings Per Share 7,406,857 8,426,876 7,588,474 8,421,943
(5) STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
------------------------
Dividends declared but not paid have been recorded in other
liabilities; however, their non-effect on cash and operations dictates
their exclusion from the cash flows until actually paid.
(6) ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN
------------------------------------------------
At December 31, 2004 there were no loans with impairments, however an
average investment of $200,000 during the six-month period ended
December 31, 2004 has been recognized in conformity with FASB Statement
No. 118. There was no allowance for loan losses related to these loans
at December 31, 2004. Other nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2004 were
approximately $1.4 million. For the six months ended December 31, 2004,
gross income which would have been recognized had impaired and
nonaccrual loans been current in accordance with their original terms,
amounted to approximately $79,000. The amount of interest income from
impaired and non-accrual loans included in the Company's interest
income for the six months ended December 31, 2004 was approximately
$15,000. The amount of interest income from impaired loans included in
net income for the three months ended December 31, 2004 was
approximately $3,000.

(7) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
-------------------------------------------------
Jefferson Bancshares is a party to financial instruments with
off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the
financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments generally
include commitments to originate mortgage loans. These instruments
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk
in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The Company's
maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
borrower is represented by the contractual amount and related accrued
interest receivable of those instruments. The Company minimizes this
risk by evaluating each borrower's creditworthiness on a case-by-case
basis. Collateral held by the Company consists of a first or second
mortgage on the borrower's property. The amount of collateral obtained
is based upon an appraisal of the property.

(8) RECAPTURE OF TAX BAD DEBT RESERVES
----------------------------------
Current federal income tax law provides for the elimination of the
preferential tax bad debt deduction for thrift institutions and the
recapture of tax bad debt reserves in excess of the base year reserves
(pre-1988 reserves). The excess tax bad debt reserves is required to be
recaptured to income ratably over a six-year period unless a thrift
institution meets the "residential loan requirement" test and suspends
the recapture for up to two years. For Jefferson Bancshares, this tax
accounting change was effective for the year ending June 30, 1997.
Because deferred taxes have been recorded for such excess tax bad debt
reserves, this legislation has not had a material effect on the
Company's statement of condition or results of operation; however, it
has resulted in an outflow of cash. The six-year recapture period began
with the fiscal year ending June 30, 1999. The total amount of excess
tax bad debt reserves recaptured during the six-year period amounted to
$622,000 and resulted in additional federal income taxes of $211,000.
(9) STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
---------------------
Under the Bank's 1995 Stock Option Plan and the 1995 Management
Recognition and Development Plan ("MRP"), the Company issued a combined
total of 179,176 shares to officers, employees and non-employee
directors. Both plans vested pro-rata over a five-year period, with the
Stock Option Plan having an expiration date of April 1, 2007. As of
December 31, 2004, there were 51,258 options outstanding and no
remaining shares available for grant under the 1995 Stock Option Plan.
During the six-month period 9,599 options were exercised.
10
11
On January 8, 2004, the Company adopted the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan
which authorized the granting of 698,750 options and 279,500 restricted
stock awards to employees and non-employee directors. As of December

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and
results of operations of Jefferson Bancshares. The information contained in this
section should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
accompanying notes. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended June 30, 2004.
GENERAL
- -------
Jefferson Bancshares, Inc. (also referred to as the "Company" or "Jefferson
Bancshares") was organized as a Tennessee corporation at the direction of
Jefferson Federal Bank, formerly known as Jefferson Federal Savings and Loan
Association of Morristown (referred to as the "Bank" or "Jefferson Federal"), in
11
12
March 2003 to become the holding company for Jefferson Federal upon the
completion of its "second-step" mutual-to-stock conversion (the "Conversion") of
Jefferson Bancshares, M.H.C. (the "MHC"). The Conversion was completed on July
1, 2003. As part of the Conversion, the MHC merged into Jefferson Federal
thereby ceasing to exist and Jefferson Federal Savings and Loan Association of
Morristown changed its name to "Jefferson Federal Bank." The Company sold
6,612,500 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share to
depositors of the Bank in a subscription offering raising approximately $64.5
million in net proceeds. The Company also exchanged approximately 1,389,000
shares of its common stock for all the outstanding shares of the Bank's common
stock (other than shares held by the MHC), representing an exchange ratio of
4.2661 for each share of Jefferson Federal outstanding. In addition, the Bank
established the Jefferson Federal Charitable Foundation, which was funded with
$250,000 and 375,000 shares of Company common stock.
The Company has no significant assets, other than all of the outstanding shares
of the Bank and the portion of the net proceeds it retained from the Conversion,
and no significant liabilities. Management of the Company and the Bank are
substantially similar and the Company neither owns nor leases any property, but
instead uses the premises, equipment and furniture of the Bank. Accordingly, the
information set forth in this report, including the consolidated financial
statements and related financial data, relates primarily to the Bank.
Jefferson Federal is a community oriented financial institution offering
traditional financial services to its local communities. The Bank is engaged
primarily in the business of attracting deposits from the general public using
such funds to originate loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied,
one-to four- family residential properties, as well as to originate commercial
real estate and multi-family mortgage loans, construction loans, consumer loans,
commercial non-real estate loans and make other investments permitted by
applicable laws and regulations.
The Bank's savings accounts are insured up to the applicable legal limits by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") through the Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). Jefferson Federal Bank is a member of the Federal Home
Loan Bank ("FHLB") System.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003
NET EARNINGS
- ------------
Net earnings decreased $84,000, or 8.7% to $882,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 2004. For the six months ended December 31, 2004, net earnings were
$1.8 million compared to a net loss of $625,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 2003. The net loss for 2003 was the result of the nonrecurring
expense associated with the $4.0 million contribution to the Jefferson Federal
Charitable Foundation.

NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------
Net interest income before loan loss provision decreased $13,000, or 0.5%, to
$2.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2004 compared to the same
period in 2003. The decline in net interest income is primarily attributable to
a decrease in the volume of investment securities partially offset by a decrease
in the volume and average cost of interest bearing liabilities. The decline in
investment securities was due to the deployment of conversion proceeds primarily
into stock repurchases, bank owned life insurance, and other higher yielding
assets. The net interest margin increased 18 basis points to 3.84% for the three
months ended December 31, 2004. The interest rate spread was 3.23% and 2.93% for
the quarters ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in the
interest rate spread reflects a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities combined with a slight increase in the average yield on
interest-earning assets. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities
declined 23 basis points to 2.15%, while the average yield on interest-earning
assets increased 7 basis points to 5.38%.

For the six months ended December 31, 2004, net interest income decreased

attributable to a decrease in both the volume and yield of interest earning
assets partially offset by a decrease in the volume and average rate paid on
deposits. The net interest margin and interest rate spread was 3.81% and 3.20%,

Total interest income decreased $165,000, or 4.1%, to $3.9 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2004, and decreased $419,000, or 5.1%, to $7.8 million
for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in interest income for
the both the three and six-month period was primarily attributable to a decrease
in income from investment securities. The decrease in income from investment
securities was primarily the result of a decrease in the average balance of
investment securities more than offsetting an increase in the average yield. The
decline in investment securities was due to the deployment of conversion
proceeds primarily into stock repurchases, bank owned life insurance, and other
higher yielding assets. Interest on loans increased for the three months ended
December 31, 2004 due to an increase in the average balance of loans more than
15
16
offsetting a decrease in the average yield. The increase in the average balance
of loans is the result of growth in the commercial loan portfolio. Most of the
commercial loans that have been originated have been tied to prime and will
reprice quickly as interest rates change. Dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") stock were $17,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 and
$15,000 for the comparable 2003 period. FHLB dividends are paid with additional
shares of FHLB stock.
Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities decreased for both the three
and six month period ended December 31, 2004 due to a decrease in interest paid
on deposits more than offsetting an increase in interest paid on FHLB advances.
Interest expense on deposits decreased $231,000, or 18.6%, to $1.0 million for
the three-month period ended December 31, 2004 and decreased $527,000, or 20.7%,
to $2.0 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2004 due to a
decrease in both the average balance and average rate paid. The average rate
paid on deposits declined 28 basis points to 2.07% for the three-month period in
2004 and declined 35 basis points to 2.05% for the six-month period in 2004 as
compared to 2003 due to the general decline in interest rates and also to the
change in the composition of deposits. The decline in the average balance of
certificates of deposit more than offset increases in transaction accounts for
the three-month period ended December 31, 2004. The decline in certificates of
deposit resulted from our decision not to compete aggressively for higher
costing deposits. Interest expense on FHLB advances was $104,000 and $191,000
for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004, respectively, compared to
$25,000 and $50,000 for the comparable periods in 2003 due to a higher average
balance. FHLB advances were utilized during the current six-month period as a
funding source for growth in the loan portfolio.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
- -------------------------
We review the level of the loan loss allowance on a monthly basis and establish
the provision for loan losses based on the level of subprime loans in the loan
portfolio, delinquency levels, loss experience, economic conditions and other
factors related to the collectibility of the loan portfolio. We use Beacon
credit scores to predict the likelihood that an existing borrower will become a
credit risk. We consider loans to borrowers with a Beacon credit score below 600
to be "subprime." Net charge-offs were $91,000 for the six-month period ended
December 31, 2004 compared to $259,000 for the same period in 2003. There were
no additions to the allowance for loan losses during either period.
Nonperforming loans totaled $1.4 million at December 31, 2004 compared to $1.2
million for 2003. The increase in nonperforming loans due reflects a
deterioration in one lending relationship which includes commercial loans
totaling $502,000 and personal real estate loans totaling $252,000. We believe
the collateral securing these loans is adequate.
NONINTEREST INCOME
- ------------------
Noninterest income decreased $54,000, or 21.4%, to $198,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 2004 as a result of a decrease in net gain on foreclosed real
estate, a loss on sale of investments, and a decrease in service fees and other
revenues, offset by an increase in the cash surrender value of bank owned life
insurance that amounted to $54,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
- -------------------
Noninterest expense totaled $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31,
2004 as compared to $1.5 million for the comparable period in 2003 primarily due
to an increase in compensation expense. Compensation expense increased $191,000,
or 26.8%, to $905,000 for the current three month period. This increase reflects
the expense related to the stock awards made pursuant to the Company's 2004
Stock Incentive Plan combined with normal salary increases and additional staff.
Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2004 included
approximately $38,000 of operating expense associated with the opening of the
new loan production office that opened in Knoxville, Tennessee on January 1,
2005.

Charitable Foundation during the six months ended December 31, 2003.
Compensation expense increased $374,000, or 25.4%, to $1.8 million for the

Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2004 was $535,000
compared to $571,000 for the same period in 2003. Income tax expense for the six
months ended December 31, 2004 was $1.0 million compared to a tax benefit of
$339,000 for the same period in 2003. The tax benefit (i.e., current and
deferred) was due to the contribution of cash and common stock to the Jefferson
Federal Charitable Foundation. The contribution to the Foundation was tax
deductible, subject to a limitation based on 10% of the Company's annual taxable
income. Any unused portion of the deduction may be carried forward for five
years following the year in which the contribution is made.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
ASSETS
- ------
Total assets at December 31, 2004 were $303.0 million compared to $305.5 million
at June 30, 2004.
CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INTEREST-EARNING DEPOSITS
- ----------------------------------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents remained unchanged at $3.8 million at December 31,
2004. Interest-earning deposits increased $11.3 million to $13.9 million at
December 31, 2004, which reflects our decision to increase liquidity for future
loan demand.
INVESTMENTS
- -----------
Our investment portfolio consists primarily of Federal agency securities with
maturities of seven years or less, municipal securities and mortgage-backed
securities with stated final maturities of thirty years or less. Investment
securities decreased $23.1 million, or 24.3%, to $72.0 million due primarily to
sales of investment securities during the current six-month period. Proceeds
from the sale of investment securities were used to fund stock repurchases and
to fund growth in the loan portfolio. Investment securities classified as
available-for-sale are carried at fair market value and reflect an unrealized
loss of $44,000, or $27,000 net of taxes.

LOANS
- -----
Net loans increased $9.4 million, or 5.0%, to $196.0 million at December 31,
2004. Our primary lending activity is the origination of loans secured by real
estate. We originate real estate loans secured by one- to four-family homes,
commercial real estate, multi-family real estate and land. We also originate
construction loans and home equity loans. Mortgage loans totaled $171.2 million,
or 86.2%, of gross loans at December 31, 2004 compared to $170.9 million, or
90.2%, of gross loans at June 30, 2004.
20
21
Commercial business loans increased $9.7 million, or 76.8%, to $22.3 million at
December 31, 2004 due to our continued emphasis on this type of lending.
Commercial business loans were 11.3% of gross loans at December 31, 2004
compared to 6.7% of gross loans at June 30, 2004. Most of the commercial
business loans that we have originated have been tied to prime and will reprice
quickly as interest rates change.
We originate a variety of consumer loans, including loans secured by
automobiles, mobile homes and deposit accounts at Jefferson Federal. Consumer
loans decreased $803,000, or 13.7%, to $5.1 million at December 31, 2004 due to
lower demand for these types of loans.

LOAN LOSS ALLOWANCE
- -------------------
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. We evaluate the need to establish reserves
against losses on loans on a monthly basis. When additional reserves are
necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings. In connection
with assessing the allowance, we consider the level of subprime loans held in
the portfolio and delinquency levels and loss experience with respect to
subprime and prime loans. In addition, we assess the allowance using factors
22
23
that cannot be associated with specific credit or loan categories. These factors
include our subjective evaluation of local and national economic and business
conditions, portfolio concentration and changes in the character and size of the
loan portfolio. The allowance methodology appropriately reflects a margin for
the imprecision necessarily inherent in estimates of expected credit losses.
The Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of its examination
process, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses. The Office of
Thrift Supervision may require us to make additional provisions for loan losses
based on judgments different from ours.
Due to net charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses decreased $91,000 to $2.4
million at December 31, 2004. There were no additions to the allowance for loan
losses during the current three-month period. At December 31, 2004, our
allowance for loan losses represented 1.20% of total gross loans and 167.1% of
nonperforming loans, compared to 1.31% of total gross loans and 228.9% of
nonperforming loans at June 30, 2004.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS
We consider repossessed assets and nonaccrual loans to be nonperforming assets.
Loans are reviewed on a monthly basis and are generally placed on nonaccrual
status when the loan becomes more than 90 days delinquent. Nonperforming assets
increased $1.2 million to $2.8 million at December 31, 2004 due to an increase
in nonaccrual loans and foreclosed property. The increase in nonperforming
assets reflects an increase in foreclosed property and nonaccrual loans
resulting from one borrowing relationship. This relationship includes nonaccrual
loans totaling $754,000 and foreclosed property totaling $912,000. Nonperforming
loans were $1.4 million and $1.1 million at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004,
respectively. Foreclosed real estate increased $780,000 to $1.3 million at
December 31, 2004. Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at the lower of
the amount of the loan or the fair value, less estimated selling costs. Any
writedown to fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Any
subsequent writedown of foreclosed real estate is charged against earnings.

BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE
- -------------------------
We purchased bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") to help offset the cost of
employee benefit plans. BOLI provides earnings from accumulated cash value
growth and provides tax advantages inherent in a life insurance contract. The
cash surrender value at December 31, 2004 was $5.2 million.
DEPOSITS
- --------
Total deposits decreased $3.0 million to $202.0 million at December 31, 2004,
due primarily to a $4.5 million decrease in certificates of deposit, partially
offset by increases in NOW and non-interest bearing accounts. The continuing
decline in the average balance of certificates of deposit reflects our emphasis
on attracting lower cost deposits.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
- --------------------
Stockholders' equity decreased $5.2 million, or 5.6%, to $88.2 million at
December 31, 2004. Retained earnings increased $1.2 million to $33.5 million at
December 31, 2004 due to net earnings of $1.8 million partially offset by the
payment of dividends to shareholders in the amount of $795,000. Unrealized gains
and losses, net of taxes, in the available-for-sale investment portfolio are
reflected as an adjustment to stockholders' equity. At December 31, 2004, the
adjustment to stockholders' equity was an unrealized loss of $27,000 compared to
a net unrealized loss of $793,000 at June 30, 2004. During the current six-month
period, a Stock Repurchase Program was announced under which up to 838,552, or
10%, of the Company's outstanding common stock may be repurchased. During the
current six-month period, 573,196 shares of treasury stock were purchased at a
cost of $7.6 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a
short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan
repayments, maturities and sales of investment securities and borrowings from
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. While maturities and scheduled
amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit
flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates,
economic conditions and competition.
We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based on our assessment of
expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on
interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of our
asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally
in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term U.S Government
agency obligations.
Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and interest-earning
assets. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing,
lending and investing activities during any given period. At December 31, 2004,
cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.8 million and interest-earning deposits
totaled $13.9 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which
provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $72.0 million at December 31,
2004. In addition, at December 31, 2004, we had arranged the ability to borrow a
total of approximately $68.7 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Cincinnati. On that date, we had advances outstanding of $12.0 million.
At December 31, 2004, we had approximately $1.4 million in loan commitments,
consisting of $596,000 in commitments to originate residential loans and
$800,000 to originate commercial loans. In addition to commitments to originate
loans, we had $7.7 million in loans-in-process, $529,000 in unused standby
letters of credit and approximately $7.3 million in unused lines of credit. We
had $96.1 million in certificates of deposit due within one year and $67.5
million in other deposits without specific maturities at December 31, 2004. We
believe, based on past experience, that a significant portion of those deposits
will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by
adjusting the interest rates offered.
Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase
of investment securities. During the six-month period ended December 31, 2004,
loan originations, net of principal collections were $10.7 million offset by the
redemption, prepayment and sale of securities in the amount of $24.2 million.
During the period, financing activities consisted primarily of activity in
deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. We experienced a net
decrease in total deposits of $3.0 million during the six-month period ended
December 31, 2004. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest
rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors.
Occasionally, we offer promotional rates on certain deposit products in order to
attract deposits. In the six-month period ended December 31, 2004, Federal Home
Loan Bank advances increased $6.0 million to $12.0 million.
25
26
At December 31, 2004, the average liquidity ratio was 33.42% compared to 41.95%
at December 31, 2003. The capital from the Conversion has significantly
increased our liquidity and capital resources. Over time, we expect the initial
level of liquidity after the Conversion will continue to be reduced as net
proceeds from the stock offering are used for future lending and operational
growth and expansion activities.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial
transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to
varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. Such
transactions are used primarily to manage customers' requests for funding and
take the form of loan commitments, unused lines of credit, amounts due
mortgagors on construction loans, amounts due on commercial loans and commercial
letters of credit.
For the three months ended December 31, 2004, we engaged in no off-balance sheet
transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of the Company's asset and liability management policies, as
well as the potential impact of interest rate changes upon the market value of
the Company's portfolio equity, see Item 7A in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004. Management, as part of its regular
practices, performs periodic reviews of the impact of interest rate changes upon
net interest income and the market value of the Company's portfolio equity.
Based on, among other factors, such reviews, management believes that there have
been no material changes in the market risk of the Company's asset and liability
position since June 30, 2004. As a result of the funds raised in the Company's
stock offering and management's strategy of investing the funds from the
offering and excess funds from operations in short-term investments with minimal
extension risk, the Company is now more asset sensitive and is likely to
experience an increase in net interest income in a rising interest rate
environment.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company's management, including the Company's principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the
Company's "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rule
13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
(the "Exchange Act"). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive
officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the
period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be
disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange
Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") (1) is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC's rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company's
management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
addition, based on that evaluation, no change in the Company's internal control
over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2004
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting.
