MADISON BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2011

Note 1.  Activities and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Madison Bancorp, Inc. (Company) was incorporated on May 20, 2010, to be the holding company for Madison Square Federal Savings Bank (Bank) in conjunction with the Bank’s plan of conversion from mutual to stock form of ownership.  On October 6, 2010, in accordance with a Plan of Conversion adopted by its Board of Directors and approved by its members, the Bank converted from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank and became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  The conversion was accomplished through the sale and issuance of 608,116 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, through which the Company received proceeds of $5,340,068, net of offering expenses of $741,092.  In connection with the conversion, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) which subscribed for 7% of the number of shares sold in the offering, or 42,568 shares of common stock sold.  Accordingly, the reported results for the period since the conversion date relate to the consolidated holding company.  All material intercompany accounts and transaction have been eliminated in consolidation.

In accordance with applicable regulations governing the conversion, upon the completion of the conversion, the Bank restricted retained earnings by establishing a liquidation account. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held. The Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.

Madison Square Federal Savings Bank was incorporated in 1870 under the laws of the State of Maryland.  The Bank is a federally chartered savings bank engaged in banking and related services primarily in the Baltimore Metropolitan area.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The foregoing consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, we have included all adjustments (comprising only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period.  We derived the balances as of March 31, 2011, from audited financial statements.  These statements should be read in conjunction with Madison Bancorp’s financial statements and accompanying notes included in Madison Bancorp’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011.  We have made no significant changes to Madison Bancorp’s accounting policies as disclosed in the Form 10-K.

The accounting and reporting policies of Madison Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively “Madison”) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and to general practices in the banking industry.  The more significant policies follow:

Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Madison Square Federal Savings Bank and its wholly owned subsidiary, Madison Financial Services Corporation (MFSC).  MFSC is engaged in the business of insurance brokerage services primarily in the Baltimore area.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period classifications.  The reclassifications had no effect on net loss or the net change in cash and cash equivalents and are not material to previously issued financial statements.

 
7

 

Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ significantly 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 tax valuation allowances, the fair value of investment securities, and other than temporary impairment of investment securities.

Subsequent Events.  We evaluated subsequent events after September 30, 2011 through November 8, 2011, the date this report was available to be issued.  No significant subsequent events were identified which would affect the presentation of the financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)-Presentation of Comprehensive Income” which amended disclosure guidance related to comprehensive income.  The amendment requires that all nonowner changes in shareholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The amendment also requires entities to present, on the face of the financial statements, reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement or statements where components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity was eliminated. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU 2011-04 amends Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain principles in Topic 820, and requires additional fair value disclosures. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310)-A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring”, which amended accounting and disclosure guidance relating to a creditor’s determination of whether a restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments clarify the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The amendments are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of the application of the amendments, receivables previously measured under loss contingency guidance that are newly considered impaired should be disclosed, along with the related allowance for credit losses, as of the end of the period of adoption. For purposes of measuring impairment of those receivables, an entity should apply the amendments prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The deferred credit risk disclosure guidance issued in July 2010 relating to troubled debt restructurings will now be effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In July 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, “Receivables (Topic 310)-Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses”, which requires entities to provide disclosures designed to facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of (i) the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, (ii) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses, and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses.  Disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment, the level at which an entity develops and documents a systemic method for determining its allowance for credit losses, and class of financing receivable, which is generally a disaggregation of portfolio segment.  The required disclosures include, among other things, a carry forward of the allowance for credit losses as well as information about modified, impaired, nonaccrual and past due loans, and credit quality indicators.  ASU 2010-20 will become effective for financial statements as of March 31, 2011, as it relates to disclosures required as of the end of the reporting period.  Disclosures that relate to activity during a reporting period will be required for financial statements that include periods beginning on January 1, 2011.  Refer to “Note 4. Loans” and “Note 5. Allowance for Loan Losses” for the required disclosures.

Note 2.  Supplemental Disclosure for Earnings per Share

When presented, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders’ by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.  Because the mutual to stock conversion was not completed until October 6, 2010, per share earnings data is not meaningful for prior comparative periods and therefore is not presented.  The calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding for the year ended March 31, 2011, is based on the period from October 6, 2010, the date of the conversion stock issuance, through March 31, 2011.

We occasionally modify loans to extend the term to help borrowers stay current on their loan and to avoid foreclosure.    At September 30, 2011, we had six 1-4 single family mortgage loans totaling approximately $1.2   million that we had modified the terms either by increasing the payments to allow the customer to become current or deferring payments to the end of the term in the form of a balloon payment. We did not forgive any principal or interest or modify the interest rates on the loans. Five of these six modified loans were in compliance with their modified terms at September 30, 2011. One loan with a balance of $242,000 is not in compliance with its modified terms.  This TDR is considered impaired, and we have taken a specific reserve of $53,000.  At September 30, 2011, we had one loan with a balance of $386,000 that is considered a trouble debt restructuring, and we have taken a specific reserve of $50,000.  At March 31, 2011, we did not have any loans that were considered troubled debt restructurings.

Note 6. Borrowings

At September 30, 2011, the Bank had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $30.8 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, and the Bank has a $2.4 million line of credit with a large financial institution.  The FHLB borrowing requires us to pledge mortgage loans as collateral, and the line of credit requires us to pledge brokered CD’s or US Government Agency securities.  At September 30, 2011, we had no Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding or borrowings on the line of credit. The rates on both borrowing lines will be determined at the time of an advance.

Note 7.  Commitments and Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Risk

In the normal course of business, the Bank has various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.  Loan commitments and lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition to the contract.  Mortgage loan commitments generally have fixed interest rates, fixed expiration dates, and may require payment of a fee.  Other loan commitments generally have fixed interest rates.  Commitments to purchase loans do not represent future cash requirements, as it is unlikely all loans will be closed prior to the expiration of the commitment.  Lines of credit generally have variable interest rates.  Such lines do not represent future cash requirements because it is unlikely that all customers will draw upon their lines in full at any time.  Letters of credit are commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.

The Bank’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer is the contractual amount of the credit commitment.  Loan commitments, lines of credit, and letters of credit are made on the same terms, including collateral, as outstanding loans.  Management is not aware of any accounting loss to be incurred by funding these loan commitments.

The Bank had outstanding firm commitments to originate, fund, or purchase loans as follows:

Note 8.  Fair Value Measurements

Accounting guidance defines fair value to be the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  These standards have also established a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability.

 
·
Level 1 — Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 
·
Level 2 — Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.

 
·
Level 3 — Valuation is derived from model-based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the Bank’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

The one security included in the table above as transferred out of Level 3 was newly issued for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and was therefore not valued yet by the third party valuation service.  The security was seasoned enough for the third party valuation service to provide a fair value for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, and was transferred out of Level 3.

The Bank measures its other real estate owned on a nonrecurring basis at fair value less cost to sell.  Cost to sell the real estate was based on standard market factors.  The Bank has categorized its foreclosed real estate as level three.  During the second quarter, Madison sold the one property that they had in other real estate owned. The Bank does not measure the fair value of its other financial assets or liabilities on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value disclosures for financial instruments as of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011:

Cash and cash equivalents: The amounts reported at carrying amount approximate the fair value of these assets.
 
Certificates of deposit: The amounts reported at carrying amount approximate the fair value of these assets.
 
Investment securities:  The fair values are based on the quoted market values or values of securities with similar rates and terms.  The fair values are provided to the Bank by a third party.
 
Loans, net: We estimate the fair value of loans by discounting future cash flows using current rates for which we would make similar loans to borrowers with similar credit histories.
 
Deposits: The fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand. We estimate the fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
Advanced payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance: The amounts reported at carrying amount approximate the fair value of these assets.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Safe Harbor Statement for Forward-Looking Statements

This report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are not historical facts; rather they are statements based on the Company’s current expectations regarding its business strategies and their intended results and its future performance. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as “expects”, “believes”, “anticipates”, “intends”, and similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Numerous risks and uncertainties could cause or contribute to the Company’s actual results, performance, and achievements being materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause or contribute to these differences include, without limitation, general economic conditions, including changes in market interest rates and changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, legislative and regulatory changes, the quality and composition of the loan and investment securities portfolio, loan demand, deposit flows, competition, and changes in accounting principles and guidelines. Additional factors that may affect our results are discussed beginning on page 17 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on June 28, 2011 under the section titled “Risk Factors.” These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company assumes no obligation and disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies.  The following represent our critical accounting policies:

Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date.  The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to income.  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 impacted 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.  Management reviews the level of the allowance monthly and establishes the provision for loan losses based upon an evaluation of the portfolio, past loss experience, current economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio.  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 economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation.  In addition, the Office of The Controller of the Currency, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses and 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 adversely affect earnings.

Fair Value of Investments.  Securities are characterized as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity based on management’s ability and intent regarding such investment at acquisition. On an ongoing basis, management must estimate the fair value of its investment securities based on information and assumptions it deems reliable and reasonable, which may be quoted market prices or if quoted market prices are not available, fair values extrapolated from the quoted prices of similar instruments. Based on this information, an assessment must be made as to whether any decline in the fair value of an investment security should be considered an other-than-temporary impairment and recorded in noninterest revenue as a loss on investments. The determination of such impairment is subject to a variety of factors, including management’s judgment and experience.

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

Assets.  Total assets decreased $1.5 million from $154.0 million at March 31, 2011, to $152.5 million at September 30, 2011, with a $1.4 million, or 17.1% decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $3.3 million, or 3.8% decrease in loans receivable, net offset by a $3.8 million, or 7.3% increase in investment securities available for sale.

Loans.  Net loans receivable decreased by $3.3 million, or 3.8%, from $86.2 million at March 31, 2011 to $82.9 million at September 30, 2011, primarily as a result of the net effect of a $3.5 million decrease in residential mortgage loans, a $561,000 decrease in commercial loans, a $171,000 decrease in consumer loans, and a $37,000 decrease in multifamily mortgage loans offset by an $808,000 increase in land loans, a $132,000 increase in construction loans, a $124,000 increase in commercial real estate loans, and a $54,000 increase in home equity lines of credit.  The decrease in residential mortgage loans was primarily a result of borrowers refinancing loans elsewhere and normal principal reductions. A portion of the increase in commercial real estate loans and the decrease in commercial loans was from a reclassification of a $668,000 loan from commercial to commercial real estate.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.4 million, or 17.1%, from $8.2 million at March 31, 2011 to $6.8 million at September 30, 2011, due to the reinvesting of excess liquidity and the repayments of loans into investment securities.

Securities.   Our available-for-sale securities increased by $3.8 million, or 7.3%, from $52.6 million at March 31, 2011 to $56.4 million at September 30, 2011. The net increase in available-for-sale securities is the result of the purchase of $23.5 million of U.S. Government Agency bonds, mortgage backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, obligations of state and political subdivisions, and $1.9 million of Brokered Investment CD’s.  These purchases were offset by the sale of the entire Redemption-In-Kind portfolio with proceeds of $774,000 as well as $13.2 million of selected U.S. Agency mortgage backed securities and U.S. Government Agency bonds.  The additional offset to the increase in available-for-sale securities was also caused by $8.7 million of securities being called, having matured, or repayments. Proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $13.9 million during the six months ended September 30, 2011, resulting in gross gains of $308,000 and gross losses of $269,000.  Proceeds from the sales of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities were $3.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010, resulting in gross gains of $109,000 and gross losses of $53,000. At September 30, 2011, we also held a $237,000 investment in the common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.

Ground Rent.  Our balance in ground rents decreased by $21,000 from $454,000 at March 31, 2011, to
$433,000 at September 30, 2011. This decrease was from the sale of $8,000 of ground rents and a $13,000 write-off of uncollectable ground rents.

Deposits.   Total deposits decreased by $1.8 million to $137.7 million at September 30, 2011, from $139.5 million at March 31, 2011.  Balances of noninterest-bearing deposits increased to $5.8 million at September 30, 2011, from $5.3 million at March 31, 2011.  NOW and Money Market deposit accounts remained flat at $8.4 million. Savings deposits decreased $417,000 from $22.5 million at March 31, 2011, to $22.1 million at September 30, 2011, and certificates of deposits decreased by $1.9 million from $103.3 million at March 31, 201,1 to $101.4 million at September 30, 2011.

Borrowings.   We had no borrowings at September 30, 2011 or March 31, 2011.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

Overview.  Our net income was $43,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to a net loss of $17,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The net income for the 2011 quarter was from an increase in net interest income and a decrease in noninterest expense primarily from a decrease in occupancy from the move of our administrative offices and a decrease in FDIC premiums due to a change in calculation methodology.  These increases to income were offset by an increase in provision for loan losses and a decrease in noninterest income caused by a decrease in income from the sublease of a portion of the previous administrative offices.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased by $26,000 to $953,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $927,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, due to a decrease in the cost of funds for deposits, partially offset by a decrease in the yield on earning assets.  Our interest rate spread was 2.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 2.48% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, and our net interest margin increased to 2.59% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 2.57% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Interest on loans decreased by $82,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010. The average balance of loans decreased by $6.2 million to $83.3        million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $89.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The average yield on loans increased from 5.61% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, to 5.66% for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Interest on securities available-for-sale increased by $68,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, due to an increase in average balances of $22.1    million from the investment of excess liquidity.  This increase in average balances was offset by a 52 basis point decrease in the average yield.  On December 31, 2010, the entire held-to-maturity investment portfolio of $1.2 million was transferred to available-for-sale and was subsequently sold in May 2011.  Interest on securities held-to-maturity was $22,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Interest on interest-bearing deposits was $7,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $16,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as a result of an $11.0 million decrease in average balances and a slight increase in the average yield of 2 basis points.

Interest on total deposits decreased $70,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $581,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, to $511,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, due to an 18 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits and a $2.3 million decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits.  Interest on certificates of deposits decreased $66,000 to $491,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as a result of the 21 basis point decrease in average cost of deposits and a decrease in average balances of $1.7 million.  Interest on savings deposits decreased by $2,000 to $11,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, due to a decrease in rate of 4 basis points offset by an increase in average balances of $55,000.  Interest on NOW and money market deposit accounts decreased by $2,000 to $8,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, due to a decrease in the average cost of the deposits and a decrease in balances of $675,000.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses.  We maintain an allowance at a level necessary to absorb management’s best estimate of probable loan losses in the portfolio.  Management considers, among other factors, historical loss experience, type and amount of loans, borrower concentrations, and current conditions of the economy.  In addition, the allowance considers the level of loans which management monitors as a result of inconsistent repayment patterns.  Management has identified commercial real estate loans as an area for expected increased lending.  Such loans carry a higher degree of credit risk than our historical single-family lending.

Our provision for loan losses increased $15,000 to $75,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from $60,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  At September 30, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was $760,000, or 0.91% of the total end of period loan portfolio, compared to $636,000 or 0.73% of the total end of period loan portfolio at March 31, 2011, and $545,000, or 0.61% of the total end of period loan portfolio at September 30, 2010.  We had $274,000 of 1-4 single family residential mortgage nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2011, compared to $9,000 of 1-4 single family residential mortgages at March 31, 2011, and $70,000 of primarily 1-4 single family residential mortgages at September 30, 2010. There was one loan transferred to other real estate owned (OREO) in the three months ended September 30, 2010, in the amount of $434,000 after a charge-off of $174,000. This OREO property was sold in September 2011, at a loss of $10,000 after a write down of $10,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Net proceeds from the OREO sale were $414,000.

Management also reviews individual loans for which full collectability may not be reasonably assured and considers, among other matters, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral.  This evaluation is ongoing and results in variations in our provision for loan losses.

We had no loan recoveries or charge-offs during the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to no recoveries and $174,000 of charge-offs during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Although management utilizes its best judgment in providing for losses, there can be no assurance that they will not have to increase the allowance for loan losses in subsequent periods.  Management will continue to monitor the allowance for loan losses and make additional provisions to the allowance as appropriate.

At September 30, 2011, Madison had one troubled debt restructuring (TDR) in the amount of $385,000.  The loan is in accrual status and in compliance with its modified terms, and therefore, not included in the nonperforming ratio above.  Madison has taken a $50,000 specific reserve against the loan.

Noninterest Revenue.  Noninterest revenue decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2011, to $83,000 as compared to $104,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The decrease during the period was primarily due to a decrease in other income of $24,000 from the decrease in income from the sublease of a portion of the previous administrative headquarters offset by an increase in gain on sale of investment securities of $4,000.

Noninterest Expenses. Noninterest expense decreased by $70,000 or 7.1% to $918,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to a decreases in occupancy and equipment expenses and FDIC and OCC/OTS assessments which were partially offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits, professional services and other miscellaneous operating expenses. The company reduced its occupancy and equipment expense by $51,000 the majority of which was due to the moving of the administrative headquarters in March 2011.

Income Tax Expense.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred no income tax expense.  At March 31, 2011, we had a net operating loss carry-forward totaling approximately $479,000, which expires in 2030 and 2031.  We also had a capital loss carry-forward of approximately $566,000, which expires in 2014.  We have established a valuation allowance to reflect uncertainty as to our ability to realize our deferred tax asset.  See Note 13 of notes to consolidated financial statements for March 31, 2011, filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

Overview.  Our net income was $3,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, compared to a net loss of $17,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2010.  The net income for the 2011 period was from an increase in net interest income and a decrease in noninterest expense primarily from a decrease in occupancy expense from the move of the administrative headquarters in March 2011, and a decrease in FDIC premium due to a change in calculation methodology.  These increases to income were offset by a decrease in other income which includes a decrease in fee income from the sale of non-deposit products, lease income from the sublease of a portion of the previous administrative headquarters, a decrease in investment security gains, and an increase in provision for loan losses.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased by $39,000 to $1.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2010, due to a decrease in the cost of funds for deposits, partially offset by a decrease in the yield on earning assets.  Our interest rate spread was 2.47% for the six months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 2.54% for the six months ended September 30, 2010, and our net interest margin decreased to 2.61% for the six months ended September 30, 2011 from 2.64% for the six months ended September 30, 2010. Both decreases in interest rate spread and net interest margin can be attributed to the decreased yield on investment securities.

Interest on loans decreased by $147,000 to $2.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011. The average balance of loans decreased by $5.4 million to $84.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011, from $89.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010.  The average yield on loans increased to 5.67% for the six months ended September 30, 2011, from 5.64% for the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Interest on securities available-for-sale increased by $95,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2010, due to an increase in average balances of $20.0 million from the investment of excess liquidity.  This increase in average balances was offset by a 67 basis point decrease in the average yield.  On December 31, 2010, the entire held-to-maturity investment portfolio of $1.2 million was transferred to available-for-sale and was subsequently sold in May 2011.  Interest on securities held-to-maturity was $48,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Interest on interest-bearing deposits was $15,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $27,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2010, as a result of a $7.6 million decrease in average balances.

Interest on total deposits decreased $151,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, from $1.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2010 to $1.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011, due to a 22 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits and a $221,000 decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits.  Interest on certificates of deposits decreased $143,000 to $991,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, as a result of a 27 basis point decrease in average cost of deposits offset by an increase in average balances of $159,000.  Interest on savings deposits decreased $2,000 to $25,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2010.  Interest on NOW and money market deposit accounts decreased by $5,000 to $17,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, due to a decrease in the average cost of the deposits and a decrease in average balances of $461,000.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses.  We maintain an allowance at a level necessary to absorb management’s best estimate of probable loan losses in the portfolio.  Management considers, among other factors, historical loss experience, type and amount of loans, borrower concentrations, and current conditions of the economy.  In addition, the allowance considers the level of loans which management monitors as a result of inconsistent repayment patterns.  Management has identified commercial real estate loans as an area for expected increased lending.  Such loans carry a higher degree of credit risk than our historical single-family lending.

Our provision for loan losses increased $9,000 to $121,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, from $112,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2010.  At September 30, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was $760,000, or 0.91% of the total end of period loan portfolio, compared to $636,000, or 0.73% of the total end of period loan portfolio at March 31, 2011, and $545,000, or 0.61% of the total end of period loan portfolio at September 30, 2010.  We had $274,000 of 1-4 single family residential mortgage nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2011, compared to $9,000 of 1-4 single family residential mortgages at March 31, 2011, and $70,000 of primarily 1-4 single family residential mortgages at September 30, 2010. There was one loan transferred to other real estate owned (OREO) in the three months ended September 30, 2010, in the amount of $434,000 after a charge-off of $174,000. This OREO property was sold in September 2011, at a loss of $10,000 after a write down of $10,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Net proceeds from the OREO sale were $414,000.

Management also reviews individual loans for which full collectability may not be reasonably assured and considers, among other matters, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral.  This evaluation is ongoing and results in variations in our provision for loan losses.

We had loan recoveries of $3,000 and no charge-offs during the six months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $2,000 of recoveries and $174,000 of charge-offs during the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Although management utilizes its best judgment in providing for losses, there can be no assurance that they will not have to increase the allowance for loan losses in subsequent periods.  Management will continue to monitor the allowance for loan losses and make additional provisions to the allowance as appropriate.

At September 30, 2011, Madison had one troubled debt restructuring (TDR) in the amount of $385,000.  The loan is in accrual status and in compliance with its modified terms, and therefore, not included in the nonperforming ratio above.  Madison has taken a $50,000 specific reserve against the loan.

Noninterest Revenue.  Noninterest revenue decreased for the six months ended September 30, 2011 to $127,000 as compared to $208,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2010.  The decrease during the period was primarily due to the decrease in gain on sale of investment securities of $18,000 and a decrease in other income, which includes a decrease in fee income from the sale of non-deposit products of $12,000 and a $49,000 decrease in income from the sublease of a portion of the previous administrative headquarters.

Noninterest Expenses. Noninterest expense decreased by $72,000, or 3.59% to $1.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to decreases in occupancy and equipment expenses of $94,000 and FDIC and OCC/OTS assessments of $93,000 which were partially offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits of $63,000, professional services of $22,000, and other miscellaneous operating expenses of $31,000. The majority of the company’s reduction in occupancy and equipment expense was due to the moving of the administrative headquarters in March 2011.  The reduction in FDIC assessments was from a change in assessment calculation methodology.  Included in other operating expense in the current period was a $10,000 write-down of the carrying value of the OREO property.

Income Tax Expense.  For the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we incurred no income tax expense.  At March 31, 2011, we had a net operating loss carry-forward totaling approximately $479,000, which expires in 2030 and 2031.  We also had a capital loss carry-forward of approximately $566,000, which expires in 2014.  We have established a valuation allowance to reflect uncertainty as to our ability to realize our deferred tax asset.  See Note 13 of notes to consolidated financial statements for March 31, 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature.  Our primary sources of funds available to meet short-term liquidity needs consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, and maturities and sales of investment securities.  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 available to meet short-term liquidity needs based upon our assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and (iv) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy.  We do not have long-term debt or other financial obligations that would create long-term liquidity concerns.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits.  The level of these assets depends on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.  At September 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $6.8 million.  Securities classified as available-for-sale amounted to $56.4 million. The interest-bearing deposits in banks of $733,000 at September 30, 2011, provide additional sources of liquidity.  Our liquidity has increased as customers have sought the safety of FDIC insured deposits.  In addition, at September 30, 2011, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $30.8 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, and we have a $2.4 million line of credit with a large financial institution.  At September 30, 2011, we had no Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding or borrowings on the line of credit.

At September 30, 2011, we had $8.9 million in commitments to extend credit outstanding.  Certificates of deposit due within one year of September 30, 2011, totaled $58.2 million, or 57.4% of certificates of deposit.  We believe the large percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers’ hesitancy to invest their funds for long periods due to the recent low interest rate environment and local competitive pressures.  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 September 30, 2012.  We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us.  We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
