MILLINGTON, N.J., Aug. 21, 2008 -- MSB

Financial Corp. (Nasdaq:MSBF) (the “Company”), the holding company for Millington Savings Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $612,000 for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to net income of $1.3 million for fiscal 2007. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to the sale of the Bank’s former main office site in February 2007 which generated $1.0 million in pre-taxable income for the Company.

 

Total assets were $308.1 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $284.6 million at June 30, 2007 due primarily to a $20.8 million or 8.9% increase in loans receivable, net, with the most growth in one-to-four family real estate loans. Deposits were $225.4 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $211.1 million at June 30, 2007 an increase of $14.3 million or 6.8%. FHLB advances were $37.1 million at June 30, 2008, up from $27.9 million at June 30, 2007. Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2008 was $43.4 million compared to $43.3 million at June 30, 2007. This increase was primarily due to $612,000 in net income, partially offset by $609,000 in share repurchases under the Company’s stock repurchase plan.

 

Net interest income for fiscal 2008 was up $266,000 or 3.6% to $7.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $7.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2007. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to a reduction in the average balance in borrowings, primarily offset by a decrease in the interest rate spread. The interest rate spread for fiscal 2008 was 2.21%, compared to 2.40% for fiscal 2007 mainly as a result of a 13 basis point drop in the average yield on interest-earning assets and a 6 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Non-interest income decreased by $1.0 million to $568,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $1.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2007 due primarily to the gain on sale of the Bank’s former main office site in fiscal 2007. Non-interest expense increased by $350,000 or 5.2% to $7.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $6.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to the increase in expenses related to operating a public company. The return on average equity for fiscal 2008 was 1.39%, compared to 4.27% for fiscal 2007. The decrease in return on average equity for 2008 reflects the gain on sale of the Bank’s former main office site in fiscal 2007.

 

Given current market conditions, the Company’s asset quality remains strong primarily due to the lack of subprime loans in its loan portfolio and a stable investment portfolio.

 


Shares of the Company’s common stock trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “MSBF.” The Company is majority owned by its mutual holding company parent, MSB Financial, MHC.
