, Bedford, Va., announced earnings for the first quarter of fiscal year 1995.

The quarter ending Dec. 31, 1994 was the first full quarter of operating as a public company. The company's initial public offering was completed on Aug. 19, 1994.

Net income for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 1994 increased $148,000, or 70.81%, to $357,000, or $.30 per share when compared to $209,000 for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 1993. The net amount stated for the fourth quarter 1993 is before a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle (FAS109) of $323,000.

Per share earnings for the first quarter 1993 are not applicable since Bedford Federal converted from mutual to stock ownership during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994.

The increase in net income for the first quarter of 1995 over the same period in 1994 resulted primarily from an increase in net interest income due to an increase in the interest rate spread from 3.18% for the period ended Dec. 31, 1993 to 3.37% for the period ended Dec. 31, 1994, an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets Earning Assets

The average balance of interest bearing liabilities decreased $5.2 million, from $87.1 million at Dec. 31, 1993 to $81.9 million at Dec. 31, 1994. This decline in deposits during the year was due to customers of the Bank using their savings to purchase stock in the conversion.

Interest income increased $184,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 over the same period in fiscal 1994, while interest expense decreased $69,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 to $832,000 from $901,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1994. This combination produced a net increase in interest income of $253,000 for the most recent comparable period.

Noninterest income increased $38,000 in the fiscal 1995 three-month period over the comparable period 1994 due primarily to an increase in service charges and loan fees from an increase in loan originations The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.

An increase in noninterest expenses of $93,000 is the result of higher professional fees and other expenses related to operating as a public company and increases in personnel compensation and benefits due to the implementation of the company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan and general increases in personnel costs.
