EUREKA FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Note 1 — Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
Eureka Financial Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Eureka Bank (the “Bank”), provide a variety of financial services to individuals and corporate customers through its main office and branch located in Southwestern Pennsylvania. The Company’s primary deposit products are interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts and certificates of deposits. Its primary lending products are single-family residential loans, multi-family and commercial real estate loans, and commercial leases.
The Company was incorporated in September 2010 to be the Bank’s holding company upon completion of the Bank’s “second-step” conversion from the mutual holding company to the stock holding company form of organization, which occurred on February 28, 2011, and to serve as the successor entity to old Eureka Financial Corp., a federally chartered corporation previously existing as the mid-tier holding company for the Bank.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim information. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim periods include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary, in the opinion of management, to fairly reflect Eureka Financial Corp.’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. Additionally, these consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to the SEC’s Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and therefore do not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2010, as contained in the Company’s final prospectus filed with the SEC on January 20, 2011 pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b)(3).
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, deferred income taxes and the valuation of other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities. The results of operations for the interim quarterly or year to date periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other period.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Bank. The consolidated financial statements do not include the transactions and balances of Eureka Bancorp, MHC (the “MHC”), which owned 730,239 shares or 57.9% of the outstanding shares of old Eureka Financial Corp. prior to the completion of the second-step conversion on February 28, 2011. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average of common shares outstanding adjusted for the average unearned shares of the Bank’s employee stock ownership plan. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by weighted-average shares outstanding plus potential common stock resulting from dilutive stock options. There were no outstanding stock options at March 31, 2011 or September 30, 2010.

Subsequent Events
Company management has evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the consolidated balance sheet date of March 31, 2011 for items that should potentially be recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain comparative amounts from the prior year period have been reclassified to conform to current period classifications. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income and stockholders’ equity.
Note 2 — Conversion and Reorganization
The Bank completed its conversion from the mutual holding company form of organization to the stock holding company form on February 28, 2011. As a result of the conversion, Eureka Financial Corp., a newly formed Maryland corporation, became the holding company for Eureka Bank and Eureka Bancorp, MHC and the former Eureka Financial Corp., a federally chartered stock holding company, ceased to exist. As part of the conversion, all outstanding shares of the former Eureka Financial Corp. common stock (other than those owned by Eureka Bancorp, MHC) were converted into the right to receive 1.0457 of a share of the newly formed Eureka Financial Corp. common stock resulting in the issuance of 551,070 shares of common stock. In addition, a total of 763,635 shares of common stock were sold in a public offering at the price of $10.00 per share. The completion of the Company’s public offering raised $6.1 million in proceeds, net of $940,000 in offering expenses and a $611,000 loan related to the Bank’s employee stock ownership plan.

Loan Portfolio Composition
The loan and lease receivable portfolio is broken down into the following categories: (1) one- to four-family real estate loans; (2) construction loans; (3) multi-family real estate loans; (4) commercial real estate loans; (5) home equity and second mortgage loans; (6) secured loans; (7) unsecured improvement loans; (8) commercial leases; and (9) commercial lines of credit.
One- to four-family real estate loans include residential first mortgage loans originated by the Bank in the greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area. We currently originate fully amortizing loans with maturities up to 30 years. These loans have a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 80%, unless they fall into our first time homebuyer program in our CRA Assessment Area, and then it could extend up to 95%. Due to our stringent underwriting, historical losses, and location of the majority of the portfolio, the Bank risk is considered minimal.
Construction loans include dwelling and land loans where funds are being held by the Bank until the construction has ended. Dwelling construction consists of new construction and upgrades to existing dwellings. The normal construction period is for a term of six months. Construction loans on land are originated for developments where the land is being prepared for future home building. On-site inspections are performed as per the draw schedule for all construction loans. The risk associated with the construction loans is considered low as the Bank makes only a small number of these loans at any given time and adheres to the draw schedule to ensure work is being completed in a timely and professional manner.

Table of Contents

Multi-family real estate loans include five or more unit dwellings. These loans could pose a higher risk to the Bank than the one- to four-family real estate loans and therefore are originated with a term of up to 20 years and a loan-to-value ratio of 75%. Different risk factors are taken into consideration when originating these loans such as whether the property is owner or non-owner occupied, location, the strength of borrower, rent rolls and total lending relationship with the borrower(s).
Commercial real estate loans consist of loans that are originated where a commercial property is being used as collateral. These loans also produce a higher risk to the Bank and have the same maximum terms and loan-to-value ratios as the multi-family loans. The risks associated with these loans are affected by economic conditions, location, strength of borrower, rent rolls and potential resale value should foreclosure become necessary.
Home equity and second mortgages include loans as first or second liens to any applicant who maintains an owner occupied or single family dwelling. These loans also include home equity line of credits. The maximum loan amount is $100,000. The first and second lien combined can not exceed 80% of the appraised value of the property. The risk to the Bank depends on whether we hold the first and/or second lien. We rely heavily on the appraised value to ensure equity is available as well as the strength of the borrower. These loans are not considered to be more than moderate risk.
Secured loans are made to applicants who maintain deposit accounts at the Bank. The Bank will originate these loans up to a term of five years or to maturity date whichever comes first. These loans pose no risk to the Bank as the loan amount will never exceed the collateral that is securing the loan.
Unsecured improvement loans consist of loans that have no or very little useful collateral and therefore pose a greater risk to the Bank. These loans generally have a higher interest rate assigned to them and a maximum term of up to five years. Well documented underwriting is in place to ensure that the borrower has the ability to repay the debt. While the Bank does not originate a significant amount of these types of loans, they are considered to be moderate to high risk due to the unsecured nature of the loan.
Commercial leases consist of loans that typically are collateralized by some form of equipment or vehicles. Forms under the UCC are filed on all collateral to ensure the Bank has the ability to take possession should the loan go into default. The maximum term is up to seven years but typically fall in the three to five year range which gives the Bank a quicker repayment of the debt. Based on the collateral alone, the value of which is sometimes difficult to ascertain, one or two years after origination as market and economic climate can change, these loans do have a higher risk assigned to them. However, our historical loss has been negligible over the last ten years, which is also taken into consideration when the loans are originated and before they are assigned a risk weighting.
Commercial lines of credit consist of lines where no residential property is used as collateral. These loans are made to individuals as well as companies, and are collateralized by property, equipment or receivables. The loan amount is determined by the borrower’s financial strength as well as the collateral. The lines are based on the collateral and the ability of the borrower(s) to repay the debt. The lines are closely monitored and limits adjusted accordingly based on updated tax returns and/or other changes to the financial well being of the borrower(s). Subsequently, risk is controlled but considered moderate based on the collateral and nature of the loan.
Credit Quality
The Bank’s risk rating system is made up of five loan grades (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades follows:
Rating 1 — Pass
Rating 1 has asset risks ranging from excellent low risk to acceptable. This rating considers customer history of earnings, cash flow, liquidity, leverage, capitalization, consistency of debt service coverage, the nature and extent of customer relationship and other relevant specific business factors such as the stability of the industry or market area, changes to management, litigation or unexpected events that could have an impact on risks.

Table of Contents

Rating 2 — Special Mention
A special mention asset has a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. The special mention classification is a transitory one and is the first classification that requires an action plan to resolve the weaknesses inherent to the credit. These relationships will be reviewed at least quarterly.
Rating 3 — Substandard
Substandard assets are assets that are inadequately protected by the sound worth or paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged. These assets have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified as substandard. The loans may have a delinquent history or combination of weak collateral, weak guarantor strength or income statement losses. These assets listed may include assets with histories of repossessions or some that are non-performing bankruptcies. These relationships will be reviewed at least quarterly.
Rating 4 — Doubtful
Doubtful assets have many of the same characteristics of substandard assets with the exception that the Bank has determined that loss is not only possible but is probable and the risk is close to certain that loss will occur. When a loan is assigned to this category the Bank will identify the probable loss and it will receive allocation in the loan loss reserve analysis. These relationships will be reviewed at least quarterly.
Rating 5 — Loss
Once an asset is identified as a definite loss to the Bank, it will receive the classification of “loss.” There may be some future potential recovery; however it is more practical to write off the loan at the time of classification. Losses will be taken in the period in which they are determined to be uncollectable.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. There were no impaired loans as of or for the six months ended March 31, 2011 or at September 30, 2010.

Eureka Financial Corp. primarily grants loans to customers throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania. Eureka Financial Corp. maintains a diversified loan portfolio and the ability of its debtors to honor their obligations is not substantially dependant on any particular economic business sector. Loans on non-accrual at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010 were approximately $46,000 and $58,000, respectively. The foregone interest on non-accrual loans was approximately $907 and $683 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The foregone interest on non-accrual loans was approximately $1,835 and $1,379 for the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010, there were no loans, that were 90 days or more delinquent and still accruing interest.

The following table details the allowance for loan losses and loan receivable balances at March 31, 2011 and the activity in the allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2011. An allocation of the allowance to one category of loans does not prevent the Company’s ability to utilize the allowance to absorb losses in a different category. The loans receivable are disaggregated on the basis of the Company’s impairment methodology.

An allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) is maintained to absorb losses from the loan and lease portfolio. The ALLL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the risk classifications and credit quality of the loan and lease portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated loss experience, and the amount of non-performing loans. Management reviews the loan and lease portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALLL.

Note 6 — Commitments
Eureka Financial Corp.’s maximum exposure to credit loss for loan and lease commitments (unfunded loans and leases) at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010 was approximately $9,557,336 and $9,071,000, respectively, with interest rates from 2.25% to 7.75% and 2.25% to 6.75%, respectively. Fixed rate loan commitments at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010 were approximately $2,720,000 and $3,847,000, respectively, with fixed rates of interest ranging from 4.75% to 7.75% and 4.75% to 6.75%, respectively.
In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of Eureka Financial Corp’s customers. These arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to Eureka Financial Corp.’s normal credit policies and loan underwriting standards. Collateral is obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the customer. Management currently expects no loss from these activities.
Note 7 — Fair Value Measurements and Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of Eureka Financial Corp.’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts Eureka Financial Corp. could have realized in a sales transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year-ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each year-end.
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).
An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010 are as follows:

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of Eureka Financial Corp.’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between Eureka Financial Corp.’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions that are presented below the following table were used to estimate fair values of Eureka Financial Corp.’s financial instruments at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010:

Off-balance sheet commitments
                       
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short term nature of the instrument.
Securities
The fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) and held to maturity (carried at amortized cost) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidy and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3). In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments. Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) were used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
The carrying value of the FHLB stock is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to restrictions on the securities.
Loans Receivable
The fair values for one-to four-family residential loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis using fields from similar products in the secondary markets. The carrying amount of construction loans approximated its fair value given their short-term nature. The fair values of consumer and commercial loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates reported in various government releases and Eureka Financial Corp.’s own product pricing schedule for loans with terms similar to Eureka Financial Corp’s. The fair values of multi-family and nonresidential mortgages are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates based on a national survey of similar loans.
Accrued Interest Receivable
The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short term nature of the instrument.

Table of Contents

Deposit Liabilities
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the repricing date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values of certificates of deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies a comparable Federal Home Loan Bank advance rate to the aggregated weighted average maturity on time deposits.
Advances from Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance
The fair value of advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
The fair value of FHLB advances was determined using the FHLB pricing tables as of March 31, 2011.
Accrued Interest Payable
The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Off-Balance Sheet Commitments
The values of off-balance sheet commitments are based on their carrying value, taking into account the remaining terms and conditions of the agreement.
Note 8 — Capital Requirements
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland requires the Bank to maintain certain average clearing balances. As of March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010, the Bank had a required clearing balance of $25,000.
The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend if the effect thereof would cause its net worth to be reduced below either the amounts required for the liquidation account discussed below or the regulatory capital requirements imposed by federal and state regulations.

As of October 19, 2009, the most recent notification from the Office of Thrift Supervision categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized” the Bank must maintain minimum total risk based, core and tangible ratios as set forth in the accompanying table. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believed has changed the institution’s category. The following shows the Bank’s compliance with regulatory capital standards at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010:

Note 9 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)-Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements” requires expanded disclosures related to fair value measurements including (i) the amounts of significant transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for the transfers, (ii) the reasons for transfers of assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, with significant transfers disclosed separately, (iii) the policy for determining when transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized and (iv) for recurring fair value measurements of assets and liabilities in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, a gross presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements. ASU 2010-06 further clarifies that (i) companies should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities (rather than major category), which would generally be a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position and (ii) companies should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities included in Levels 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU No. 2010-06 requires the disclosures related to the gross presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy beginning January 1, 2011. The remaining disclosure requirements and clarifications made by ASU 2010-06 became effective on January 1, 2010. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (Subtopic 310)-Disclosures About the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” The main objective of ASU 2010-20 is to provide financial statement users greater transparency about an entity’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables. Existing disclosure guidance was amended to require an entity to provide a greater level of disaggregated information about the credit quality of its financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses. In addition, the amendments in ASU 2010-20 require an entity to disclose credit quality indicators, past due information, and modifications of its financing receivables. These improvements will help financial statement users assess an entity’s credit risk exposures and its allowance for credit losses. ASU 2010-20 is effective for interim or annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Since ASU 2010-20 only requires enhanced disclosures, the adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “Receivables (“Subtopic 310”): “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring” (“ASU 2011-02”). ASU 2011-02 provides additional guidance and clarification in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. This update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Other required disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Additionally, ASU 2011-01 deferred the date for disclosures related to troubled debt restructures to coincide with the effective date of a proposed accounting standards update related to troubled debt restructures, which is currently expected to be effective for periods ending after June 15, 2011. The Company anticipates that adoption of these additional disclosures will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of Eureka Financial Corp.’s financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of income and expenses. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions that we use are based on historical experience and various other factors and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level representing management’s best estimate of known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio, based on management’s evaluation of the portfolio’s collectability. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged against income. Management estimates the allowance balance required using loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, the size and composition of the loan portfolio, trends and absolute levels of non-performing loans, classified and criticized loans and delinquent loans, trends in risk ratings, trends in industry charge-offs by particular segments and changes in existing general economic and business conditions affecting our lending areas and the national economy. Additionally, for loans identified by management as impaired, management will provide a specific provision for loan loss based on the expected discounted cash flows of the loan, or for loans determined to be collateral dependent, a specific provision for loan loss is established based on appraised value less costs to sell. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Among the material estimates required to establish the allowance are: loss exposure at default; the amount and timing of future cash flows on impaired loans; value of collateral; and determination of loss factors to be applied to the various elements of the portfolio. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if actual conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. Further, current economic conditions have increased the uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses. Such agency may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its examination. A large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect earnings.
Deferred Income Taxes. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets. These judgments require us to make projections of future tax rates and taxable income. The judgments and estimates we make in determining our deferred tax assets, which are inherently subjective, are reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset.
Valuation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Investment Securities. We evaluate our investment securities portfolio on a quarterly basis for indicators of other-than-temporary impairment, which requires significant judgment. We assess whether other-than-temporary impairment has occurred when the fair value of a debt security is less than the amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date. Under these circumstances, other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred: (1) if we intend to sell the security; (2) if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) the present value of the expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. For securities that we do not expect to sell or that we are not more likely than not to be required to sell, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into credit and non-credit components. The credit-related other-than-temporary impairment, represented by the expected loss in principal, is recognized in non-interest income, while noncredit-related other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Noncredit-related other-than-temporary impairment results from other factors, including increased liquidity spreads and extension of the security. For securities which we do expect to sell, all other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in earnings. Other-than-temporary impairment is presented in the income statement on a gross basis with a reduction for the amount of other-than-temporary impairment recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Once an other-than-temporary impairment is recorded, when future cash flows can be reasonably estimated, future cash flows are re-allocated between interest and principal cash flows to provide for a level-yield on the security.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2011 and September 30, 2010
At March 31, 2011, assets increased $9.9 million, or 7.8%, to $137.2 million from $127.3 million at September 30, 2010, primarily due to a $4.7 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $3.7 million increase in investment securities. These increases were funded by the increase in deposits and the proceeds from the Company’s stock offering in connection with the Bank’s second-step conversion. Also, at March 31, 2011, loans receivable, net increased $2.6 million, or 2.6%, to $100.6 million from $98.0 million at September 30, 2010, primarily due to an increase in one- to four-family and construction loans. Other assets decreased $700,000 to $2.2 million at March 31, 2011 from $2.9 million at September 30, 2010 primarily as a result of the prepaid conversion costs being absorbed into equity.

Eureka Financial Corp. actively manages credit risk through its underwriting practices and collection operations and it does not offer nor has it historically offered loans to subprime or Alt-A borrowers. Non-accrual loans totaled $46,000, or 0.05% of total net loans, at March 31, 2011 compared to $58,000, or 0.06% of total net loans, at September 30, 2010. The non-accrual loan total for March 31, 2011 included two one- to four-family real estate loans. The non-accrual loan total for September 30, 2010 included two one- to four-family real estate loans and one commercial line of credit.
At March 31, 2011, total liabilities increased by $3.2 million, or 2.9%, from September 30, 2010. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in deposits of $4.1 million, or 3.6%. The increase in deposits was primarily the result of an increase in certificates of deposit, which increased from $47.6 million at September 30, 2010 to $51.6 million at March 31, 2011. The growth in deposit accounts helped to fund the $3.7 million increase in investment securities and to repay a $1.0 million Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing.
At March 31, 2011, stockholders’ equity increased $6.7 million to $20.8 million from $14.1 million at September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily the result of the $6.1 million in net proceeds received in connection with the Bank’s second step conversion, which was consummated on February 28, 2011, and net income of $542,000 for the six-month period, offset by dividends paid to stockholders in the amount of $172,000. Because of interest rate volatility, accumulated other comprehensive income and stockholders’ equity could materially fluctuate in future periods.

The increase in net income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, was attributable to increased income from investment securities and a decreased cost of funds, offset by increased non-interest expenses.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $215,000 to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1.0 million for the comparable 2010 period. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, net interest income increased $355,000 to $2.3 million from $2.0 million for the comparable 2010 period. For the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2011, respectively, higher net interest income was the result of a $150,000 and $231,000 increase in interest income, respectively, and a decrease of $65,000 and $123,000 in interest expense from the comparable 2010 periods, respectively. The total interest income increases for each period were primarily due to a $95,000 and $166,000, respectively, increase in interest from investment securities as both the average balance and yield earned on securities increased. The decrease in total interest expense for the three and six month periods ending March 31, 2011 was primarily attributable to decreases in deposit interest expense due to lower interest rates.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following tables set forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by current volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of these tables, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionally based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, was $17,600 and $35,000, respectively, compared to $15,000 and $20,000, respectively, for the comparable 2010 periods. The increased provision in the 2011 periods reflects growth in the loan portfolio with consideration given to the absence of charge-offs and decreased non-performing loans and classified and criticized assets.
Non-performing loans decreased $12,000 to $46,000 at March 31, 2011 from $58,000 at September 30, 2010. There were no net charge-offs for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to net charge-offs totaling $0 and $2,048 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, respectively.
Non-interest Income. The following tables show the components of non-interest income and the percentage changes for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Salaries and benefits expense increased $54,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due primarily to an approximate $31,000 increase in salary and benefits expense, a $14,000 increase in retirement fund contributions and a $7,000 increase in employee stock ownership plan expense related to the new employee stock ownership plan implemented in connection with the Bank’s second-step conversion. Legal and accounting expense decreased $12,000 primarily related to expenses incurred with the termination of the Bank’s former employee stock ownership plan in the prior period. Other expenses decreased $10,000 related to check printing charges and debit card expenses in the prior period.

Salaries and benefits expense increased $114,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2011 due primarily to an approximate $76,000 increase in salary and benefits expense, a $30,000 increase in retirement fund contributions and a $7,000 increase in employee stock ownership expense related to the new employee stock ownership plan implemented in connection with the Bank’s second-step conversion. Computer expense increased $15,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2011 due to increased data processing expenses. FDIC insurance premiums increased $27,000 as a result of an increase in deposits and a lower assessment in the quarter ended December 31, 2009. Legal and accounting expense decreased $12,000 primarily related to expenses incurred with the termination of the Bank’s former employee stock ownership plan in the prior period. Other expenses decreased $10,000 related to check printing charges and debit card expenses in the prior period.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $206,000 and $376,000, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2011, compared to $115,000 and $260,000 for the comparable periods in 2010. The increase in income tax expense in the 2011 periods was primarily the result of an increase in pre-tax income as the effective tax rate for the periods ended March 31, 2011 at 41% while the comparable periods for 2010 were 34% and 36%, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Management. 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 of investment securities and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. 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 upon our assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy.
Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The level of these assets depends on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $16.3 million. In addition, at March 31, 2011, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $59.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. At March 31, 2011, we had no Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding.
At March 31, 2011, we had $3.1 million in loan commitments outstanding, which consisted of commitments to grant $2.7 million in loans and $200,000 in commercial lines of credit and $200,000 in commercial leases. At March 31, 2011, we had $4.8 million in undisbursed lines of credit, $59,000 in undisbursed loans in process and $1.6 million in undisbursed construction loans.

Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2011 totaled $37.8 million, representing 73.3% of certificates of deposit at March 31, 2011. We believe, based on past experience, that we will retain a significant portion of these deposits at maturity. However, if these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before March 31, 2012.
The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and will have to provide for its own liquidity to pay its operating expenses and other financial obligations. Upon completion of the Bank’s conversion, the Company’s primary source of liquidity will be the proceeds it retained from the stock offering and, in the future, dividends received from the Bank. The amount of dividends that the Bank may declare and pay to the Company in any calendar year, without the receipt of prior approval from the Office of Thrift Supervision but with prior notice to Office of Thrift Supervision, cannot exceed net income for that year to date plus retained net income (as defined) for the preceding two calendar years. At March 31, 2011, the Company had $1.9 million in liquid assets.
Capital Management. The Bank must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to support loan growth and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its deposits as they mature.
The Bank is required to maintain specific amounts of capital pursuant to OTS regulatory requirements. As of March 31, 2011, the Bank was in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements, which were effective as of such date, with total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and core capital ratios of 21.47%, 20.36% and 12.66%, respectively. The regulatory requirements at that date were 8.0%, 4.0% and 4.0%, respectively. At March 31, 2011, the Bank was considered “well-capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines.
The capital raised from our stock offering significantly increased our liquidity and capital resources. Over time, the initial level of liquidity will be reduced as net proceeds from the stock offering are used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of lending activities. Our financial condition and results of operations will likely be enhanced by the capital from the offering, resulting in increased net interest-earning assets and revenue. However, the large increase in equity resulting from the capital raised in the offering will, initially, have an adverse impact on our return on equity. Under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, we will not be allowed to repurchase any shares during the first year following the offering, except to fund the restricted stock awards under the equity benefit plan after its approval by shareholders, unless extraordinary circumstances exist and we receive regulatory approval.
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 and letters of credit. For information about our loan commitments, unused lines of credit and letters of credit, see note 6 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q and in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2010 included in the Company’s prospectus dated January 11, 2011.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

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 March 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
