Net Earnings

The change in net earnings, comparing 2005 to 2004, was primarily attributable to decreases in net interest income and non-interest income, and an increase in non-interest expense. Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased $89,000 or 3.80% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Non-interest income decreased $23,000 or 6.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Non-interest expense increased $86,000 or 4.41% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased to $2,256,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, from $2,345,000 for the same period in 2004. A three-month rate/volume analysis indicates that the $89,000 decrease was primarily attributable to the impact of a decrease in the net interest rate spread of 85 basis points (rate impact), which resulted in a decrease in net interest income of $435,000 partially offset by the impact of the growth in average interest-earning assets of $49.0 million or 21.45%, and interest-bearing Adj. 1. interest-bearing - of financial obligations on which interest is paid  liabilities of $50.1 million or 23.15%, which resulted in an increase in net interest income of $346,000 (volume impact).

The net interest rate spread for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 3.16% compared to 4.01% for the same period in 2004. The 85 basis point decrease in spread was attributable to the decline in the weighted average yield on interest earning assets Earning Assets

 on interest-bearing liabilities. The yield on interest-earning assets declined 41 basis points to 5.39% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from 5.80% for the same period in 2004. The weighted average cost of funds increased 44 basis points to 2.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to 1.79% for the same period in 2004. The primary spread (weighted average interest rate on loans minus weighted average interest rate on deposits) at March 31, 2005 was 3.65% compared to 4.20% at March 31, 2004, a decline of 55 basis points.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $358,000 in the first quarter of 2005, down $23,000 from a year ago. The decrease primarily reflected a $109,000 decline in gains from sales of loans, as there were no loan sales during the first quarter of 2005. This was partially offset by an $85,000 increase in loan prepayment Prepayment

2. The excess payment over a scheduled debt repayment amount.

Non-interest Expense

Total non-interest expense totaled $2,034,000 in the first quarter of 2005, up $86,000 from a year ago, primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits costs and occupancy Gaining or having physical possession of real property subject to, or in the absence of, legal right or title.

Provision for Loan Losses

During the first quarter of 2005, provision for loan losses totaled $10,000 compared to $0 in 2004. At March 31, 2005, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.61% compared to 0.60% at December December: see month.  31, 2004 and 0.62% at March 31, 2004.

During the first quarter of 2005, loan payoffs exceeded total loan originations, including loan purchases, resulting in a decrease of $0.9 million in loans receivable, including loans held for sale.

") held to maturity increased $26.0 million. The build up in liquidity from loan repayments, deposit inflows and borrowings was invested in short duration MBS.

Loan originations were $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $33.2 million for the same period in 2004. Loan purchases totaled $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 whereas there were no loan purchases for the same period in 2004. Loan repayments amounted to $17.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $10.5 million for the same period in 2004. Loan originations decreased substantially due in part to rising interest rates and the Company's plan to focus on retail versus wholesale loan funding. Loan volumes are expected to increase over the next several quarters, absent a sharp rise in interest rates.

Deposits totaled $210.0 million at March 31, 2005, up $14.1 million or 7.19% since the end of 2004. During the first quarter of 2005, core deposits (NOW, demand, money market and passbook accounts) increased $3.1 million, while certificates of deposit increased $11.0 million. A substantial portion of the increase in certificates of deposit was from brokered deposits. At March 31, 2005, core deposits represented 49.15% of total deposits compared to 51.13% at December 31, 2004 and 43.63% at March 31, 2004.

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets amounted to $113,000 at March 31, 2005 compared to $114,000 at December 31, 2004 and $79,000 at March 31, 2004. The Bank's non-performing assets to total assets ratio was 0.04% at March 31, 2005 compared to 0.04% at December 31, 2004 and 0.03% at March 31, 2004.

 return on average equity decreased to 8.94% compared to 11.16% for the same period in 2004. This was primarily attributable to the decrease in net earnings in 2005. The annualized return on average assets also decreased to 0.48% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to 0.79% for the same period in 2004. The annualized ratio of non-interest expense to average assets improved to 2.85% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to 3.29% for the same period in 2004, reflecting the higher growth in average assets compared to the rate of growth in non-interest expense. The efficiency ratio was 77.81% in first quarter 2005 compared to 71.46% in first quarter 2004, reflecting lower revenues compared to non-interest expenses for the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.
