NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Poage Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary Home Federal Savings and Loans Association (the “Association”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are based on various factors including the current interest rate environment and the general strength of the local economy. Changes in the overall interest rate environment can significantly affect the Company’s net interest income and the value of its recorded assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. All interim amounts have not been audited, and the results of operations for the interim periods herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto filed as part of the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in the accompanying unaudited financial statements. Those adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments. Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2011 has been derived from the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date.

NOTE 2 – ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In April 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance for assisting a creditor in determining whether a restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments clarify the guidance for a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. With regard to determining whether a concession has been granted, the ASU clarifies that creditors are precluded from using the effective interest method to determine whether a concession has been granted. In the absence of using the effective interest method, a creditor must now focus on other considerations such as the value of the underlying collateral, evaluation of other collateral or guarantees, the debtor’s ability to access other funds at market rates, interest rate increases and whether the restructuring results in a delay in payment that is insignificant. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. For purposes of measuring impairment on newly identified troubled debt restructurings, the amendments should be applied prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May, 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. and International accounting principles. Overall, the guidance is consistent with existing U.S. accounting principles; however, there are some amendments that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this guidance are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholder’s equity. The amendment requires that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements. The amendments in this guidance are effective as of the beginning of a fiscal reporting year, and interim periods within that year, that begins after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Total securities	$	6,649	$	(16	)	$	1,747	$	(20	)	$	8,396	$	(36	)

Unrealized losses on bonds have not been recognized into income because the issuers of the bonds are of high credit quality, management does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that management would be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the bond(s) approach maturity.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement, and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.

NOTE 6: FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 – Significant other 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.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Securities: The fair values for securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments (Level 2). This includes the use of “matrix pricing” used to value debt securities absent the exclusive use of quoted prices. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, which include municipal securities, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows (Level 3).

Other Real Estate Owned: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. The methods for determining the fair values for securities were described previously. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. The fair value of off-balance sheet items and commitments to make loans held for sale is not considered material.

NOTE 7 – ESOP PLAN

Employees participate in an Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP). The ESOP borrowed from the Company to purchase 269,790 shares of stock at $10 per share. The Company makes discretionary contributions to the ESOP, as well as paying dividends on unallocated shares to the ESOP, and the ESOP uses funds it receives to repay the loan. When loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to participants based on relative compensation and expense is recorded. Dividends on allocated shares increase participant accounts.

Participants receive the shares at the end of employment. A participant may require stock received to be repurchased unless the stock is traded on an established market.

Contributions to the ESOP totaled $46,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. There was no contribution to the ESOP during the three months ended December 30, 2010.

Shares held by the ESOP at December 31, 2011 were as follows (dollars in thousands):


Allocated to participants		3,372
Unearned		266,418


Total ESOP shares		269,790

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of such words as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

•

statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

•

statements regarding our business plans and prospects and growth and operating strategies;

•

statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

•

estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report.

The following factors, among others, could cause the actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

•

our ability to manage our operations during the current United States economic recession;

•

our ability to manage the risk from the growth of our commercial real estate lending;

•

significant increases in our loan losses, exceeding our allowance;

•

changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments and inflation;

•

further declines in the yield on our assets resulting from the current low interest rate environment;

•

risks related to high concentration of loans secured by real estate located in our market area;

•

significant increases in our loan losses;

•

our ability to pay dividends;

•

adverse changes in the financial industry, securities, credit and national and local real estate markets (including real estate values);

•

general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market area;

•

changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits, including a lack of consumer confidence in financial institutions;

•

potential increases in deposit assessments;

•

significantly increased competition among depository and other financial institutions;

•

changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies and the authoritative accounting and auditing bodies;

•

legislative or regulatory changes, including increased deposit or premium assessments and increased compliance costs, that adversely affect our business and earnings;

•

changes in the level of government support of housing finance;

•

significantly increased competition with financial institutions;

•

risks and costs related to becoming a publicly traded company; and

•

changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans.

Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in Poage Bankshares, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 18, 2012.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011

Our total assets decreased to $319.3 million at December 31, 2011 from $328.0 million at September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of cash and due from financial institutions of $30.7 million, or 63.4%, to $17.8 million at December 31, 2011 from $48.4 million at September 30, 2011, partially offset by an increase in securities available for sale of $24.2 million, or 31.6%, to $100.9 million at December 31, 2011 from $76.7 million at September 30, 2011.

Loans held for sale decreased to $269,000 at December 31, 2011 from $1.0 million at September 30, 2011. This decrease was largely due to reduced one-to-four family mortgage loan originations.

Loans receivable, net, decreased to $181.6 million at December 31, 2011 from $183.7 million at September 30, 2011. This decrease was largely due to reduced one-to-four family loan originations, caused by the reduced level of refinancing and transfers to other real estate owned. Non-performing loans increased slightly from $2.7 million at September 30, 2011 to $2.8 million at December 31, 2011.

Securities available for sale increased to $100.9 million at December 31, 2011 from $76.7 million at September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily due to the deployment of excess cash and cash equivalents for the purchase of higher-yielding obligations of the U.S. Government, and residential mortgage backed securities.

Deposits decreased $6.6 million, or 2.7%, to $236.1 million at December 31, 2011 from $242.7 million at September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in savings and NOW accounts of $3.0 million, or 3.2%, as well as a decrease of $3.6 million or 2.4% in certificates of deposit.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances declined $1.1 million or 4.8% to $22.0 million at December 31, 2011 from $23.1 million at September 30, 2011. This decrease in borrowings was primarily the result of regular principal payments and maturities.

Total shareholders’ equity increased slightly to $59.7 million at December 31, 2011, compared to $59.1 million at September 30, 2011. The increase resulted primarily from net income of $611,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Average Balance and Yields

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information at the dates and for the periods indicated. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the tables as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major categories of Home Federal’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Information is provided for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (i.e., changes in average balances multiplied by the prior-period average rate) and (ii) changes attributable to rate (i.e., changes in average rate multiplied by prior-period average balances). For purposes of these tables, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of funds are deposits and the proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities. We also utilize Federal Home Loan Bank advances. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predicable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive within our market and to increase core deposit relationships.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management. We adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon management’s assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) yields available on interest-earning deposits and investment securities, and (iv) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning overnight deposits, federal funds sold, and short and intermediate-term investment securities. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally we have additional borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. At December 31, 2011, we had $22.0 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and an additional borrowing capacity of $51.7 million.

The Association is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by its primary federal regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators, that if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Association and the consolidated financial statements. Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Association must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of the Association’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.

The Association’s capital amounts and classification under the prompt corrective action guidelines are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Association to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of: total risk-based capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), Tier I capital to adjusted total assets (as defined), and tangible capital to adjusted total assets (as defined).

As of December 31, 2011, based on the most recent notification from the OCC, the Association was categorized as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since the most recent notification that management believes have changed the Association’s prompt corrective action category.

Actual and required capital amounts (in thousands) and ratios for the Association are presented below at December 31, 2011 and year-end:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. 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 and lines of credit.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010

General. Net income increased to $611,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from $437,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase reflected an increase in net interest income of $476,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, offset by an increase in non-interest expense to $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $187,000, or 5.9%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from $3.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase was largely due to a $232,000 increase in interest income on taxable securities, partially offset by a decrease of $46,000 in interest income from tax exempt securities.

Interest income on loans remained constant at $2.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Likewise, the average yields on loans remained relatively constant at 5.97% for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to 6.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Interest income on investment securities increased to $563,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from $377,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, reflecting an increase in the average balance of such securities to $90.9 million at December 31, 2011 from $61.0 million at December 31, 2010. The average yield was relatively constant at 2.48% for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to 2.47% for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $289,000, or 23.3%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The decrease reflected a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits to 1.21% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from 1.78% for the three months ended December 31, 2010, which more than offset increases in the average balance of such deposits. Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank Advances decreased $48,000 or 21.4% to $176,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from $224,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. This decrease was due to a decrease of $7.0 million in the average balance of these borrowings, partially offset by a 10 basis point increase in the average rate paid on these borrowings.

Interest expense on certificates of deposit decreased $215,000, or 24.9%, to $648,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from $863,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. This decrease reflected a decrease in the average rate paid on certificates of deposits for the three months ended December 31, 2011 to 1.75% from 2.15% for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as well as a decrease in the average balance of such certificates to $147.9 million from $160.7 million. Interest expense on money market deposits, savings, and NOW and demand deposits decreased $26,000, or 17.0%, to $127,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from $153,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The decrease was due to the lower average cost on the NOW and demand deposits as well as savings and money market accounts to 0.47% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from 0.91% for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased to $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The interest rate spread increased to 3.33% from 2.74%, along with a slight decrease in the ratio of our average interest earning assets to average interest bearing liabilities to 101.99% from 104.56%. Our net interest margin increased to 3.35% from 2.83%. The increases in our interest rate spread and net interest margin were largely due to a reduction of rates paid on deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $38,000 and $150,000, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, reflecting the minimal levels of nonperforming loans and charge-offs during the periods, as well as management’s conservative lending policies. The decrease in the loan loss provision for the three months ended December 31, 2011 is a result of a $3.7 million decrease in residential mortgage loans, the partial charge off of residential real estate loans transferred to other real estate owned that was previously provided for, improvement in employment, and a stabilization of real estate values in our lending area. The provisions for each period were based on management’s quarterly calculations and resulted primarily from increased subjective factors applied to its loan portfolio.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased to $318,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from $356,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily attributable to a decline in the net gains on sales of loans to $138,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from $193,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, offset by an increase in net gains on sales of securities to $10,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $251,000, or 15.5%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010. This increase was due largely to an increase in salaries and employee benefits due to an increase in the number of employees to $968,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from $815,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Income Tax Expense. The provision for income taxes was $181,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $56,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were 22.9% and 11.4%, respectively. This increase in income tax expense is largely due to increased earnings during the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in the effective tax rate is largely due to a reduction in tax exempt income of $46,000 to $228,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 from $274,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010.
