> LETTER to SHAREHOLDERS <
In 2008,
Southern Missouri Bancorp
produced outstanding results,
standing tall in our field.

Our earnings grew to a record $1.63 per diluted share, up from $1.29 in the prior fiscal year, providing a return on average equity of 12.1% and a return on average assets of 0.92%.  While much of the financial services industry has been embroiled in turmoil since the summer of 2007, we were able to continue to grow our core business, maintain strong asset quality, and improve our profitability.  We are very pleased with our results for 2008, and look forward to continued strong performance in the years to come.

Net income for 2008 totaled $3.6 million, up 23.4% from a year ago. The main factor in our success was growth in net interest income, up 18.6% in 2008.  We grew net interest income by improving our net interest margin – up 27 basis points – and by growing our average interest earning assets – up 8.5%.

Return on Equity again surpasses peer banks
We improved our ROE and outperformed our peers.
Tangible Book Value per share growth beats peers
We have regularly exceeded our peer banks (1) in this
key measure of shareholder value.

(1)
Peer data is based on the average year-end figures (December) from SNL DataSource’s Index of publicly traded commercial banks and thrifts with assets of $100 million to $1 billion, headquartered in Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. SMBC data is as of fiscal year-end (June).

Our net loan portfolio grew 10.0% in 2008, with much of our growth continuing to be realized in commercial and commercial real estate loans, serving to diversify our existing portfolio.  Deposits were up 8.2%, and repurchase agreements were up 22.8%, as we were able to attract retail and public unit funds despite a tough competitive environment.

Net income for
2008 totaled
$3.6 million,
up 23.4% from
a year ago.

The Company’s book value per share increased by 7.2%, and tangible book value per share increased by 8.7%. Along with earnings, our per-share valuations are some of our most closely-watched measures, as they are indicators of the Company’s true value to our shareholders.  The Company also purchased approximately 4% of outstanding stock under the repurchase plan announced in June 2007, increasing each remaining shareholder’s percentage of ownership.

Steady growth in these key measures of our core businesses
We have continued our solid loan growth in 2008 and improved deposit growth.

There is no doubt that we are experiencing a very difficult
period for our nation’s economy.
 
Employment growth has sputtered, the housing industry’s troubles continue, financial firms have been weakened first by the sub-prime lending fallout, and then by a more general credit crunch, and now energy and food prices are putting the squeeze on the American consumer.
 
But there are silver linings:
 
w






w






w
While our local economies may not grow as fast as other areas when times are good, they don’t decline as quickly when times are bad – the massive construction and development lending that fueled excess capacity in many metropolitan areas is simply not an issue in our markets.




Southern Missouri never adopted a policy of making home loans without requiring that old-fashioned down payment, and we’re not suffering fallout from either losing that line of business, or worse, dealing with the asset quality problems that resulted.




And, as many of the national financial players begin to restrict growth – or even close offices – in an attempt to repair their stressed capital ratios, Southern Missouri is still here and ready to do business in our communities in a safe and sound manner.


 
|4|
 
 

          
 

The Company has continued to focus intently on asset quality, and non-performing assets and past-dues remain below peers. While charge-offs have remained low, and the Company does not expect to realize the level of credit problems afflicting banks that took more aggressive positions, we still believe that it is prudent to take into account the nation’s slowing economy and troubled real estate market when setting our allowance for loan losses.  With this in mind, the Company increased the allowance from 0.81% of total loans at June 30, 2007, to 1.03% of total loans at June 30, 2008.

Loan quality is sound
These important indicators show that our loan quality remained well ahead of peer banks in 2008.

Peer data is based on the average year-end figures (December) from SNL DataSource’s Index of publicly traded commercial banks and thrifts with assets of $100 million to $1 billion, headquartered in Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. SMBC data is as of fiscal year-end (June).

Holding the line on expenses while our earnings grew, our measures of efficiency improved markedly.  Our efficiency ratio improved to 55.4% in fiscal 2008, from 61.5% the year prior.  With an eye towards prudence, the Company is willing to spend when it sees a true return from investing in technology, premises, or, most importantly, people. We added key employees during fiscal 2008 when we saw an opportunity to use them to improve returns to you, the shareholder.

Efficiency remains ahead of peers
 
We improved income significantly in 2008 while holding overhead costs in check.

We will continue to develop new products and use innovative technology to reach our next generation of customers.
New “rewards checking” products are on the horizon, and we will specifically tailor some rewards to bring in young depositors. We have implemented an investment services program at multiple locations, broadening existing relationships and building new ones. We will increase our efforts to reach potential customers using the internet and mobile technology over the coming year.  And we have developed a Company-wide effort to help our local schools provide sound financial education to students, knowing that our work will benefit the community, the young people we meet, and eventually, the Company.

To sum up, it was a fantastic year for Southern Missouri.
Improved earnings, solid asset quality, and
growth in our core business all combined to
produce the kind of year we hope to report
to you every year and, we believe, provides a
foundation for future results.  As a result,
we recently announced a 20% increase in our
quarterly dividend.
In recognition of
our profitable year,
we increased our
quarterly dividend
by 20%.

Our success is possible because of our employees.  Their hard work, year after year, is a credit to them and to the culture of this organization.

Our success is possible because of our customers.  Their willingness to entrust to us their financial needs provides the opportunity to generate returns on the capital you’ve invested.

And our success is possible because of you, our shareholders.  In the years since the establishment of the Company, we’ve been fortunate to hold a base of shareholders that trusted us to execute our business plan.

We are happy to report these positive results on your investment.

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY AND THE BANK
Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. (Southern Missouri or Company) is a Missouri corporation and owns all of the outstanding stock of Southern Missouri Bank &Trust Co. (SMBT or the Bank). The Company’s earnings are primarily dependent on the operations of the Bank. As a result, the following discussion relates primarily to the operations of the Bank.
The Bank was originally chartered by the State of Missouri in 1887 and converted from a state-chartered stock savings and loan association to a Federally-chartered stock savings bank effective June 1995. Then, effective February 1998, the Bank converted its charter to a state-chartered stock savings bank. On June 4, 2004, the Bank converted to a state chartered trust company with banking powers. The Bank’s deposit accounts are generally insured up to a maximum of $100,000 (some retirement accounts are insured up to $250,000) by the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF), which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
The Bank’s primary business consists of attracting deposits from the communities it serves and investing those funds in loans secured by one- to four-family residences, commercial real estate,
 
commercial business and consumer loans. The Company’s results of operations are primarily dependent on its net interest margin, which is the difference between the average yield on loans, mortgage-related securities and investments and the average rate paid on deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase
and borrowings.
The net interest margin is affected by economic, regulatory and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposits. Lending activities are funded through the attraction of deposit accounts consisting of checking accounts, passbook accounts, money market deposit accounts, certificate of deposit accounts with terms of 60 months or less, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, and, to a lesser extent, brokered deposits.  The Bank currently conducts its business through its home office located in Poplar Bluff and eight full service branch facilities in Poplar Bluff (2), Van Buren, Dexter, Kennett, Doniphan, Sikeston and Qulin, Missouri.

OVERVIEW
Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. is a Missouri corporation originally organized for the principal purpose of becoming the holding company of Southern Missouri Savings Bank. The Bank converted from a Federally-chartered stock savings bank to a state-chartered stock savings bank effective February 17, 1998, and subsequently changed its name to Southern Missouri Bank & Trust Co. The Company’s state of incorporation changed from Delaware to Missouri effective April 1, 1999. On June 4, 2004, the Bank converted to a state chartered trust company with banking powers, and the Company became a bank holding company supervised by the Federal Reserve.
The principal business of SMBT consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits along with wholesale funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) to finance mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences, commercial real estate loans and commercial business loans. These funds have also been used to purchase investment securities, mortgage-backed securities (MBS), U.S. government and federal agency obligations and other permissible securities.
Southern Missouri’s results of operations are primarily dependent on the levels of its net interest margin and noninterest income, and its ability to control operating expenses. Net interest margin is dependent primarily on the difference or spread between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the relative amounts of these assets and liabilities. Southern Missouri is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-earning assets mature or reprice at different times, or on a varying basis, from its interest-bearing liabilities.
Southern Missouri’s noninterest income consists primarily of fees charged on transaction and loan accounts and increased cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”). Southern Missouri’s operating expenses include: employee compensation and benefits, occupancy expenses, legal and professional fees, federal deposit insurance premiums, amortization of intangible assets and other general and administrative expenses.
 Southern Missouri’s operations are significantly influenced by general economic conditions including monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve Board. Additionally, Southern Missouri is subject to policies and regulations issued by financial institution regulatory agencies, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve and the Missouri Division of Finance. Each of these factors may influence interest rates, loan demand, prepayment rates and deposit flows. Interest rates available on competing investments as well as general market interest rates influence the Bank’s cost of funds. Lending activities are affected by the demand for real estate and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such financing may be offered. The Bank intends to continue to focus on its lending programs for one- to four-family residential real estate, commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer financing on loans secured by properties or collateral located primarily in Southeastern Missouri.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company has established various accounting policies, which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in the footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities; management considers such accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates that could have a material impact on the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the Company.
    The allowance for losses on loans represents management’s best estimate of probable losses in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance for losses on loans is increased by the provision for losses on loans charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries.

The provision for losses on loans is determined based on management’s assessment of several factors: reviews and evaluations of specific loans, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and the related impact on specific borrowers and industry groups, historical loan loss experience, the level of classified and nonperforming loans and the results of regulatory examinations.
Integral to the methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is portfolio segmentation and impairment measurement. Under the Company’s methodology, loans are first segmented into 1) those comprising large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, including single-family mortgages and installment loans, which are collectively evaluated for impairment and 2) all other loans which are individually evaluated. Those loans in the second category are further segmented utilizing a defined grading system which involves categorizing loans by severity of risk based on conditions that may affect the ability of the borrowers to repay their debt, such as current financial information, collateral valuations, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current trends. The loans subject to credit classification represent the portion of the portfolio subject to the greatest credit risk and where adjustments to the allowance for losses on loans as a result of provisions and charge-offs are most likely to have a significant impact on operations.
A periodic review of selected credits (based on loan size and type) is conducted to identify loans with heightened risk or probable losses and to assign risk grades. The primary responsibility for this review rests with the loan administration personnel. This review is supplemented with periodic examinations of both selected credits and the credit review process by applicable regulatory agencies. The information from these reviews assists management in the timely identification of problems and potential problems and provides a basis for deciding whether the credit represents a probable loss or risk that should be recognized.
Loans are considered impaired if, based on current information and events, it is probable that Southern Missouri will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. If the loan is not collateral-dependent, the measurement of impairment is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate or the observable market price of the loan. In measuring the fair value of the collateral, management uses the assumptions (i.e., discount rates) and methodologies (i.e., comparison to the recent selling price of similar assets) consistent with those that would be utilized by unrelated third parties. Impairment identified through this evaluation process is a component of the allowance for loan losses. If a loan that is individually evaluated for impairment is found to have none, it is grouped together with loans having similar characteristics (i.e., the same risk grade), and an allowance for loan losses is based upon historical average charge-offs for similar loans over the past five years, the historical average charge-off rate for developing trends in the economy, in industries and other factors. For portfolio loans that are evaluated for impairment as part of homogenous pools, an allowance is maintained based upon the average charge-offs for the past five years.
Changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers, in economic conditions, in historical loss experience and in the conditions of the various markets in which collateral may be sold may all affect the required level of the allowance for losses on loans and the associated provision for losses on loans.
 
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION
General. The Company’s total assets increased $37.9 million, or 10.0%, to $417.8 million at June 30, 2008, when compared to $379.9 million at June 30, 2007. The growth was primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio of $31.0 million, or 10.0%, as well as growth in available for sale investments of $5.0 million, or 14.4%. Asset growth was primarily funded by growth in deposit balances of $22.2 million, or 8.2%, FHLB advances of  $10.1 million, or 18.6%, and repurchase agreements of $4.0 million, or 22.8%.
Loans. Loans increased $31.1 million, or 10.0%, to $343.1 million at June 30, 2008, from $312.0 million at June 30, 2007. The growth in the loan portfolio was comprised principally of residential real estate loans of $14.1 million (including $7.2 million in multifamily developments), and commercial and commercial real estate loans of $5.5 million and $8.1 million, respectively.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses increased $1.1 million, or 40.6%, from $2.5 million at June 30, 2007, to $3.6 million at June 30, 2008. The allowance for loan losses represented 1.03% of gross loans receivable at June 30, 2008, as compared to 0.81% at June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2008, nonperforming loans, which included loans past due greater than 90 days and nonaccruing loans, were $6,000, compared to $26,000 at June 30, 2007 (see, however, Provision for Loan Losses, under Comparison of Years Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007).
Investments. The investment portfolio increased $5.0 million, or 14.4%, to $39.9 million at June 30, 2008, from $34.9 million at June 30, 2007. The increase in the investment portfolio was primarily due to the Company’s strategic decision to increase investment balances to meet pledging needs for public unit deposits and repurchase agreements, and to take advantage of  attractive yield spreads available during the fiscal year.
Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment decreased $446,000 to $8.2 million at June 30, 2008, from $8.6 million at June 30, 2007. The decrease was due to depreciation expense for the fiscal year, partially offset by equipment and software purchases.
Bank Owned Life Insurance. The Bank purchased “key person” life insurance policies on six employees with a cash surrender value of $4.0 million in February, 2003. In addition, in October, 2004, the Bank purchased “key person” life insurance policies on 20 employees for $2.0 million. At June 30, 2008, the cash surrender value had increased to $7.3 million.
Intangible Assets. Intangible assets generated through branch acquisitions in 2000 decreased $255,000 to $1.8 million as of June 30, 2008, and will continue to be amortized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142.
Deposits. Deposits increased $22.2 million, or 8.2%, to $292.3 million at June 30, 2008, from $270.1 million at June 30, 2007. The deposit growth was primarily comprised of increases in retail and public CDs and checking accounts of $19.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, partially offset by decreases in money market deposit and passbook accounts of $600,000.  At June 30, 2008, brokered deposits totaled less than $100,000. Public unit deposits increased $10.3 million during fiscal 2008.
    Borrowings. FHLB advances increased $10.1 million, or 18.6%, to $64.1 million at June 30, 2008, from $54.0 million at June 30, 2007, with much of the increase coming late in the fiscal year to fund asset growth. Of the outstanding advances, $5.6 million were short term borrowings, compared to $7.0 million in short term borrowings at June 30, 2007. Of the remaining $58.5 million in long-term advances, the entire amount carries fixed interest rates, and $49.5 million is subject to early redemption by the issuer.

> FINANCIAL REVIEW   (continued)   <

 
At June 30, 2008, the long-term advances had a weighted average maturity of 4.3 years, compared to 4.2 years at June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2008, all FHLB advances had a weighted-average cost of 4.91%, as compared to 5.42% at June 30, 2007.
Subordinated Debt. In March, 2004, the Company issued $7.0 million of Floating Rate Capital Securities of Southern Missouri Statutory Trust I with a liquidation value of $1,000 per share. The securities are due in 30 years, redeemable after five years and bear interest at a floating rate based on three month LIBOR.
Stockholders’ Equity. The Company’s stockholders’ equity increased by $1.8 million, or 6.1%, to $30.5 million at June 30, 2008, from $28.7 million at June 30, 2007. This increase was primarily due to net income of $3.6 million and stock options exercised for $566,000, partially offset by treasury stock purchases of $1.4 million, dividend payments of $884,000 , and a $278,000 decrease in the market value of the investment portfolio, net of tax. The Company has approximately 17,000 shares of common stock remaining to be purchased under its current stock repurchase program of approximately 110,000 shares announced on June 21, 2007.
 
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
Net Income. Southern Missouri’s net income was $3.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $685,000, or 23.4%, when compared to the results of the prior fiscal year. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $1.9 million increase in net interest income and an increase in non-interest income of $205,000, partially offset by a $630,000 increase in income tax provisions, a $406,000 increase in non-interest expenses, and a $335,000 increase in loan loss provisions.
 
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $1.9 million, or 18.6%, to $11.8 million for fiscal 2008, when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to a 29 basis point increase in the average interest rate spread, combined with a $29.0 million increase in average interest-earning assets. The increase in interest rate spread was primarily a result of decreasing short-term interest rates, prompted by actions of the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee, as well as a steeper yield curve for most of the fiscal year. For fiscal 2008, the average interest rate spread was 2.86%, compared to 2.57% for fiscal year 2007. At June 30, 2008, the spread was 3.12%.
 
Interest Income. Interest income increased $1.8 million, or 7.5%, to $25.3 million for fiscal 2008, when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to the $29.0 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, partially offset by a five basis point decrease in average yield earned on interest-earning assets, from 6.87% in fiscal 2007 to 6.82% in fiscal 2008.
Interest income on loans receivable increased by $1.6 million, or 7.4%, to $23.3 million for fiscal 2008 when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was due to a $27.6 million increase in average balance of loans receivable, partially offset by a 13 basis point decrease in the average yield earned on loans receivable.
Interest income on the investment portfolio and other interest-earning assets increased $183,000 or 9.8%, to $2.0 million for fiscal 2008 when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was due to a 27 basis point increase in the average yield earned on these assets, combined with a $1.4 million increase in the average balance of investments and other interest-earning assets.
 
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $74,000, or 0.5%, to $13.5
 
million for fiscal 2008 when compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease was due to the 34 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, from 4.30% in fiscal 2007 to 3.96% in fiscal 2008, partially offset by a $25.8 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.
Interest expense on deposits increased $199,000, or 2.2%, to $9.3 million for fiscal 2008 when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was due to a $21.4 million increase in average deposits outstanding, partially offset by a 24 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on deposits.
Interest expense on FHLB advances decreased $324,000, or 9.5%, to $3.1 million for fiscal 2008 when compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily due to the $4.4 million decrease in the average balance of FHLB advances for fiscal 2008, combined with the 15 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on advances.
The Company issued $7.0 million of Floating Rate Capital Securities in March, 2004, with an interest rate of three month LIBOR plus 275 basis points, repricing quarterly. Interest expense on these securities was $539,000 for fiscal 2008 as compared to $594,000 for the prior fiscal year. This decrease was due to the average rate paid decreasing by 77 basis points.
 
Provision for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered adequate by management to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience, type and amount of loans in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. Management also considers other factors relating to the collectibility of the loan portfolio.
The provision for loan losses was $940,000 for fiscal 2008, compared to $605,000 for the prior fiscal year. The increase in provision was primarily due to loan growth, the health of the national and regional economy, and the potential for declining real estate collateral values. In fiscal 2008, net recoveries were $90,000, compared to net charge offs of $125,000 for the prior year. At June 30, 2008, classified assets totaled $4.5 million, compared to classified assets of $1.3 million at June 30, 2007.  The increase in classifications was due primarily to a single loan relationship with outstanding classified balances of $3.5 million, secured by commercial and agricultural real estate, and was performing according to terms at June 30, 2008.  The relationship was classified due to concerns regarding the borrower’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service the debt.
The above provision was made based on management’s analysis of the various factors which affect the loan portfolio and management’s desire to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate. Management performed a detailed analysis of the loan portfolio, including types of loans, the charge-off history, and an analysis of the allowance for loan losses. Management also considered the continued origination of loans secured by commercial businesses and commercial real estate, which bear an inherently higher level of credit risk. While management believes the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2008, is adequate to cover all losses inherent in the portfolio, there can be no assurance that, in the future, increases in the allowance will not be necessary, or that actual losses will not exceed the allowance.
 
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $205,000, or 9.3%, to $2.4 million for fiscal 2008, when compared to the prior fiscal year.  The increase was primarily due to increased collection of insufficient funds charges, increased debit and ATM card income, loan late charges, and increases in the cash surrender value of BOLI, partially offset by lower secondary market loan income.
 
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $406,000, or 5.4%,

 

 
|13|
 
 

> FINANCIAL REVIEW   (continued)   <

 
to $7.9 million for fiscal 2008, when compared to the prior fiscal year.  The increase resulted primarily from higher compensation expenses, partially offset by lower professional, advertising, and miscellaneous expenses.  Expenses for compensation and benefits increased $422,000, or 10.5%, for fiscal 2008 when compared to the prior year. The increase was due to increased salaries, addition of personnel, and the payment of additional bonuses based on the Company’s strong financial performance.
 
Provision for Income Taxes. The Company expensed an income tax provision of $1.8 million for fiscal 2008, compared to $1.1 million in fiscal 2007. The increase was primarily due to increased pre-tax income, as well as the prior fiscal year’s adjustments related to compliance with new accounting standards.
 
COMPARISON OF THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AND 2006
Net Income. Southern Missouri’s net income was $2.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $144,000, or 5.2%, when compared to the results of the prior fiscal year. The increase in net income was primarily due to a $329,000 increase in net interest income, a reduction in income tax provisions of $232,000, and an increase in non-interest income of $63,000, partially offset by a $430,000 increase in non-interest expenses, and a $50,000 increase in loan loss provisions, compared to the prior fiscal year.
 
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $329,000, or 3.4%, to $9.9 million for fiscal 2007, when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to a $17.9 million increase in average interest-earning assets, partially offset by a 12 basis point decrease in the average interest rate spread. The decrease in interest rate spread was a result of a yield curve which remained relatively flat during the fiscal year. For fiscal 2007, the average interest rate spread was 2.57%, compared to 2.69% for fiscal year 2006. At June 30, 2007, the spread was 2.55%.
 
Interest Income. Interest income increased $3.2 million, or 15.6%, to $23.5 million for fiscal 2007, when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to the 60 basis point increase in average yield earned on interest-earning assets from 6.27% in fiscal 2006 to 6.87% in fiscal 2007. Interest income also increased due to the $17.9 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets.
Interest income on loans receivable increased by $3.1 million, or 16.9%, to $21.7 million for fiscal 2007 when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to a 59 basis point increase in the average yield earned on loans receivable. Interest income on loans also increased due to the $20.5 million increase in average loans receivable.
Interest income on the investment portfolio and other interest-earning assets increased $49,000 or 2.7%, to $1.9 million for fiscal 2007 when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was due to a 33 basis point increase in the average yield earned on these assets, and was partially offset by a $2.6 million decrease in the average balance outstanding.
 
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $2.9 million, or 26.5%, to $13.6 million for fiscal 2007 when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to the 72 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities from 3.58% in fiscal 2006 to 4.30% in fiscal 2007. Interest expense also increased due to the $16.1 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.
Interest expense on deposits increased $2.1 million, or 29.9%, to $9.1 million for fiscal 2007 when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to an 80 basis point increase in the average rate paid on deposits. Interest expense on deposits also increased due to the $6.4 million increase in
 
average deposits outstanding.
Interest expense on FHLB advances increased $514,000, or 17.8%, to $3.4 million for fiscal 2007 when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to the $8.3 million increase in the average balance of FHLB advances for fiscal 2007, and the 12 basis point increase in the average rate paid on advances.
The Company issued $7.0 million of Floating Rate Capital Securities in March, 2004, with an interest rate of three month LIBOR plus 275 basis points, repricing quarterly. Interest expense on these securities was $594,000 for fiscal 2007 as compared to $512,000 for the prior fiscal year. This increase was due to the average rate paid increasing by 114 basis points.
 
Provision for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered adequate by management to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience, type and amount of loans in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and current economic conditions. Management also considers other factors relating to the collectibility of the loan portfolio.
The provision for loan losses was $605,000 for fiscal 2007, compared to $555,000 for the prior fiscal year. The increase in provision was primarily due to strong loan growth and a declining credit quality environment. In fiscal 2007 net charge offs were $125,000 compared to $513,000 for the prior year. At June 30, 2007, classified assets totaled $1.3 million, roughly equal to the total of classified assets at June 30, 2006.
The above provision was made based on management’s analysis of the various factors which affect the loan portfolio and management’s desire to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate. Management performed a detailed analysis of the loan portfolio, including types of loans, the charge-off history, and an analysis of the allowance for loan losses. Management also considered the continued origination of loans secured by commercial businesses and commercial real estate, which bear an inherently higher level of credit risk. While management believes the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2007, is adequate to cover all losses inherent in the portfolio, there can be no assurance that, in the future, the Bank’s regulators will not require further increases in the allowance, or that actual losses will not exceed the allowance.
 
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $63,000, or 3.0%, to $2.2 million for fiscal 2007, compared to $2.1 million in fiscal 2006.  The increase was primarily due to a $102,000 increase in miscellaneous income collected (including ATM and debit card transaction income, and income from sales of loans on the secondary market), and was offset by a $61,000 decrease in non-sufficient funds charges.
 
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $430,000, or 6.1%, to $7.5 million for fiscal 2007, compared to the $7.0 million expensed during fiscal 2006. The increase resulted primarily from higher compensation, legal and occupancy expenses.
Expenses for compensation and benefits increased $322,000, or 8.7%, for fiscal 2007 when compared to the prior year. The increase was due to the mid-fiscal 2006 addition of employees attributable to the opening of a new branch facility, increased salaries, and other compensation-related expenditures. Occupancy expenses increased $57,000, or 4.1%, primarily due to the cost of acquiring and operating a new facility for the full fiscal year. Professional fees increased $73,000, or 41.8%, primarily due to an increase in legal expenses to obtain a recovery on a large loan loss reported in fiscal 2005.
 
Provision for Income Taxes. The Company expensed an income tax

> FINANCIAL REVIEW   (continued)   <

 
provision of $1.1 million for fiscal 2007, compared to $1.4 million in fiscal 2006. The decrease was due to recognition of benefits from acquired tax credits, the Company’s investment in additional tax-exempt securities, a reduction in pre-tax income, and adjustments related to compliance with new accounting standards.
 
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The goal of the Company’s asset/liability management strategy is to manage the interest rate sensitivity of both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in order to maximize net interest income without exposing the Company to an excessive level of interest rate risk. The Company employs various strategies intended to manage the potential effect that changing interest rates may have on future operating results. The primary asset/liability management strategy has been to focus on matching the anticipated repricing intervals of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. At times, however, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the Company may increase its interest rate risk position in order to maintain its net interest margin.
In an effort to manage the interest rate risk resulting from fixed rate lending, the Company has utilized longer term (up to 10 year maturities), fixed-rate FHLB advances, which may be subject to early redemption, to offset interest rate risk. Other elements of the Company’s current asset/liability strategy include: (i) increasing originations of commercial real estate, commercial business loans, agricultural real estate, and agricultural operating lines, which typically provide higher yields and shorter repricing periods, but inherently increase credit risk, (ii) limiting the price volatility of the investment portfolio by maintaining a weighted average maturity of five years or less, (iii) actively soliciting less rate-sensitive deposits, and (iv) offering competitively priced money market accounts and CDs with maturities of up to five years. The degree to which each segment of the strategy is achieved will affect profitability and exposure to interest rate risk.
    The Company continues to generate long-term, fixed-rate residential loans. During the year ended June 30, 2008, fixed rate residential loan originations totaled $22.0 million compared to $20.1 million during the same period of the prior year. At June 30, 2008, the fixed-rate residential loan portfolio totaled $98.6 million with a weighted average maturity of 207 months, compared to $91.2 million at June 30, 2007, with a weighted average maturity of 200 months. At June 30, 2008, fixed rate loans with remaining maturities in excess of 10 years totaled $83.7 million, or 24.1%, of loans receivable compared to $78.0 million, or 24.8%, of loans receivable at June 30, 2007. The Company originated $58.3 million in fixed rate commercial and commercial real estate loans during the year ended June 30, 2008, compared to $63.3 million during the prior fiscal year. The Company also originated $50.1 million in adjustable rate commercial and commercial real estate loans during the year ended June 30, 2008, compared to $45.3 million during the prior year. The Company originated $9.9 million in adjustable rate residential loans during the year ended June 30, 2008, compared to $6.8 million during the prior year. At June 30, 2008, adjustable-rate home equity lines of credit had increased to $8.2 million as compared to $6.5 million as of June 30, 2007. Over the last several years, the Company had maintained a weighted average life of its investment portfolio of less than four years, but extended the portfolio’s average life and duration during fiscal 2008 in order to take advantage of historically attractive spreads on products with longer maturities. At June 30, 2008, CDs with original terms of two years or more totaled $20.8 million compared to $18.4 million at June 30, 2007.
 
INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
The following table sets forth as of June 30, 2008, and 2007, management’s estimates of the projected changes in net portfolio value in the event of 1%, 2% and 3%, instantaneous, permanent increases or decreases in market interest rates.
Computations in the table below are based on prospective effects of hypothetical changes in interest rates and are based on an internally generated model using the actual maturity and repricing schedules for Southern Missouri’s loans and deposits, adjusted by management’s assumptions for prepayment rates and deposit runoff. Further, the computations do not consider any reactions that the Bank may undertake in response to changes in interest rates. These projected changes should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results in any of the aforementioned interest rate changes.
Management cannot accurately predict future interest rates or their effect on the Company’s NPV and net interest income in the future. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the computation of NPV and net interest income. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Additionally, most of Southern Missouri’s loans have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the foregoing table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Southern Missouri’s primary potential sources of funds include deposit growth, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, FHLB advances, amortization and prepayment of loan principal, investment maturities and sales, and ongoing operating results. While scheduled repayments on loans and securities as well as the maturity of short-term investments are a relatively predictable source of funding, deposit flows, FHLB advance redemptions and loan and security prepayment rates are significantly influenced by factors outside of the Bank’s control, including general economic conditions and market competition. The Bank has relied on FHLB advances as a source for funding cash or liquidity needs.
Southern Missouri uses its liquid assets as well as other funding sources to meet ongoing commitments, to fund loan commitments, to repay maturing certificates of deposit and FHLB advances, to make investments, to fund other deposit withdrawals and to meet operating expenses. At June 30, 2008, the Bank had outstanding commitments to extend credit of $51.5 million (including $39.1 million in unused lines of credit). Total commitments to originate fixed-rate loans with terms in excess of one year were $8.5 million at tax-equivalent rates ranging from 5.0% to 10.0%, with a weighted-average tax-equivalent rate of 6.83%. Management anticipates that current funding sources will be adequate to meet foreseeable liquidity needs.
The primary sources of funding for the Company are deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances. For the year ended June 30, 2008, Southern Missouri increased deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and FHLB advances by $22.2 million, $4.0 million, and $10.1 million, respectively. During the prior year, Southern Missouri increased deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase by $12.0 million, $6.5 million, and $8.0 million, respectively. At June 30, 2008, the Bank had pledged its residential real estate loan portfolio to the FHLB for available credit of approximately $103.9 million, of which $64.1 million had been advanced, and another $3.5 million had been issued in the form of letters of credit.  In addition, the Bank has the ability to pledge several of its other loan portfolios, including commercial real estate, home equity, and commercial business loans, which could provide additional collateral for an additional $96.6 million in borrowings at June 30, 2008.  In total, FHLB borrowings are generally limited to 40% of Bank assets (effective January, 2008), or approximately $165.6 million, which means $98.0 million in borrowings remain available.  Along with the ability to borrow from the FHLB, management believes its liquid resources will be sufficient to meet the Company’s liquidity needs.
Liquidity management is an ongoing responsibility of the Bank’s management. The Bank adjusts its investment in liquid assets based upon a variety of factors including (i) expected loan demand and deposit flows, (ii) anticipated investment and FHLB advance maturities, (iii) the impact on profitability, and (iv) asset/liability management objectives.
At June 30, 2008, the Bank had $130.0 million in CDs maturing within one year and $163.7 million in other deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase without a specified maturity as compared to the prior year of $117.1 million in CDs maturing within one year and $157.3 million in other deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase without a specified maturity. Management believes that most maturing interest-bearing liabilities will be retained or replaced by new interest-bearing liabilities. Also at June 30, 2008, the Bank had $39.0 million in FHLB advances eligible for early redemption by the lender within one year.
 
 
REGULATORY CAPITAL
Federally insured financial institutions are required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital. FDIC regulations establish capital requirements, including a leverage (or core capital) requirement and a risk-based capital requirement. The FDIC is also authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual institutions on a case-by-case basis.
At June 30, 2008, the Bank exceeded regulatory capital requirements with core and total risk-based capital of $32.7 million and $36.3 million, or 8.08% and 11.79% of adjusted total assets and risk-weighted assets, respectively. These capital levels exceeded minimum requirements of 4.0% and 8.0% for adjusted total assets and risk-weighted assets. (See Note 12 - Stockholders’ Equity and Regulatory Capital.)
 
IMPACT OF INFLATION
The consolidated financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on the operations of the Company is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than does inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services. In the current interest rate environment, liquidity and maturity structure of the Company’s assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.
 
AVERAGE BALANCE, INTEREST AND AVERAGE YIELDS AND RATES
The table on the following page sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and reflects the average yield on assets and the average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. These yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the years indicated. Nonaccrual loans are included in the net loan category.
The table also presents information with respect to the difference between the weighted-average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the weighted-average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, or interest rate spread, which financial institutions have traditionally used as an indicator of profitability. Another indicator of an institution’s net interest income is its net yield on interest-earning assets, which is its net interest income divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets. Net interest income is affected by the interest rate spread and by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. When interest-earning assets approximate or exceed interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income.

> NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS <
Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc.
 
 
NOTE 1:  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization. Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc., a Missouri corporation (the Company) was organized in 1994 and is the parent company of Southern Missouri Bank & Trust (the Bank). Substantially all of the Company’s consolidated revenues are derived from the operations of the Bank, and the Bank represents substantially all of the Company’s consolidated assets and liabilities.
 
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the banking industry. In the normal course of business, the Company encounters two significant types of risk: economic and regulatory. Economic risk is comprised of interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities reprice on a different basis than its interest-earning assets. Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company’s loan portfolio that results from the borrowers’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of collateral underlying loans receivable and the value of the Company’s investment in real estate.
 
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the UnitedStates of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash, due from depository institutions and interest-bearing deposits in other depository institutions with original maturities of three months or less. Interest-bearing deposits in other depository institutions were $5,656,273 and $4,394,010 at June 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
 
Available for Sale Securities. Available for sale securities, which include any security for which the Company has no immediate plan to sell but which may be sold in the future are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders’ equity. All securities have been classified as available for sale.
Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted as adjustments to income over the estimated life of the security using the level yield method. Realized gains or losses on the sale of securities is based on the specific identification method. The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
The Company does not invest in collateralized mortgage obligations that are considered high risk.
 
 
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system. Capital stock of the FHLBis a required investment based upon a predetermined formula and is carried at cost.
 
Loans. Loans are stated at unpaid principal balances, less the allowance for loan losses and net deferred loan origination fees.
Interest on loans is accrued based upon the principal amount outstanding. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in management’s judgment, the collectibility of interest or principal in the normal course of business is doubtful. A loan is considered delinquent when a payment has not been made by the contractual due date. Interest income previously accrued but not collected at the date a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. Cash receipts on a nonaccrual loan are applied to principal and interest in accordance with its contractual terms unless full payment of principal is not expected, in which case cash receipts, whether designated as principal or interest, are applied as a reduction of the carrying value of the loan. A nonaccrual loan is generally returned to accrual status when principal and interest payments are current, full collectibility of principal and interest is reasonably assured and a consistent record of performance has been demonstrated.
The allowance for losses on loans represents management’s best estimate of losses probable in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance for losses on loans is increased by the provision for losses on loans charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. Loans are charged off in the period deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of loans previously charged off are recorded when received. The provision for losses on loans is determined based on management’s assessment of several factors: reviews and evaluations of specific loans, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and the related impact on specific borrowers and industry groups, historical loan loss experience, the level of classified and nonperforming loans and the results of regulatory examinations.
Valuation allowances are established for impaired loans for the difference between the loan amount and fair value of collateral less estimated selling costs. Impairment losses are recognized through an increase in the allowance for loan losses.
Loans are considered impaired if, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest income using the interest method over the contractual life of the loans.
 
Foreclosed Real Estate. Real estate acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. Costs for development and improvement of the property are capitalized.
Valuations are periodically performed by management, and an allowance for losses is established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs.
    Loans to facilitate the sale of real estate acquired in foreclosure are discounted if made at less than market rates. Discounts are amortized over the fixed interest period of each loan using the interest method.

Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and include expenditures for major betterments and renewals. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When property is retired or sold, the retired asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss taken into income. The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment loss recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Depreciation is computed by use of straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated lives are generally 20 to 40 years for premises, and five to seven years for equipment.
 
Intangible Assets. The Bank adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective July 1, 2002. Intangible assets acquired through the purchase of branches were excluded from the scope of SFAS 142. In October 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions. SFAS 147 clarified that the carrying amount of an unidentified intangible asset should continue to be amortized. The Bank’s gross amount of this intangible asset at June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $3,837,416 and $3,837,416, respectively, with accumulated amortization of $1,999,513 and $1,744,256, respectively. The intangible asset is being amortized over 15 years with amortization expense over the next five years expected to be $255,258 per year.
 
Income Taxes. The Company and its subsidiary file consolidated income tax returns. Deferred assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of differences between the financial reporting bases and income tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities.
 
Incentive Plan. The Company accounts for its management and recognition plan (MRP) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”. The aggregate purchase price of all shares owned by the incentive plan is reflected as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of the Company’s stock on the date the shares are granted and is recorded over the vesting period. The difference between the aggregate purchase price and the fair value on the date the shares are considered earned is recorded as an adjustment to additional paid in capital.
 
Outside Directors’ Retirement. The Bank adopted a directors’ retirement plan in April 1994 for outside directors. The directors’ retirement plan provides that each non-employee director (participant) shall receive, upon termination of service on the Board on or after age 60, other than termination for cause, abenefit in equal annual installments over a five year period. The benefit will be based upon the product of the participant’s vesting percentage and the total Board fees paid to the participant during the calendar year preceding termination of service on the Board. The vesting percentage shall be determined based upon the participant’s years of service on the Board, whether before or after the reorganization date.
    In the event that the participant dies before collecting any or all of the benefits, the Bank shall pay the participant’s beneficiary. No benefits shall be payable to anyone other than the beneficiary, and shall terminate on the death of the beneficiary.
 
Stock Options. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee provides service in exchange for the award. SFAS No. 123R was adopted during the first quarter of fiscal 2006 for the Company primarily due to the transition from a small business filer to a full filer; stock-based compensation has been recognized for all stock options granted or modified after July 1, 2005. In addition, stock options not vested on July 1, 2005, are being recognized in expense over the remaining vesting period.
 
Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The Company accounts for its employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position 93-6.
As of June 30, 2005, the ESOP shares were fully distributed and the Bank began purchasing additional shares under the ESOPplan.
 
Earnings Per Share. Basic income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share includes the effect of all dilutive potential common shares (primarily stock options) outstanding during each year.
 
Treasury Stock. Treasury stock is stated at cost. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
 
Reclassification. Certain amounts included in the 2007 and 2006 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income.
 
The following paragraphs summarize the impact of new accounting pronouncements:
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 establishes a common definition of fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements.  The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, meaning it is effective for the Company on July 1, 2008, and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
    In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.”  SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value, on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Once an entity has elected to record eligible items at fair value, the decision is irrevocable and the entity should report unrealized gains and losses for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings. The Statement’s objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, meaning it is

effective for the company beginning July 1, 2008, and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141(revised), “Business Combinations”. The Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting be used for business combinations, but broadens the scope of Statement 141 and contains improvements to the application of this method. The Statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. Costs incurred to effect the acquisition are to be recognized separately from the acquisition. Assets and liabilities arising from contractual contingencies must be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. Contingent consideration must also be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. The Statement also changes the accounting for negative goodwill arising from a bargain purchase, requiring recognition in earnings instead of allocation to assets acquired. For business combinations achieved in stages (step acquisitions), the assets and liabilities must be recognized at the full amounts of their fair values, while under former guidance the entity was acquired in a series of purchases, with costs and fair values being identified and measured at each step. The Statement applies to business combinations occurring on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, meaning it is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009.
Also in December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51.” The Statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Statement establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent’s ownership interest if the parent retains its controlling interest, deeming these to be equity transactions. The Statement is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008, meaning it is effective for the Company July 1, 2009. The Company does not expect adoption of the Statement to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This Statement requires enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and how these activities affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim period beginning after November 15, 2008, meaning it is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2009. The Company does not expect adoption of the Statement to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” on July 1, 2007.  Implementation of the new Standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of Missouri.  As of June 30, 2008, the open tax years under FIN 48 are 2007, 2006, and 2005.  These tax years correspond to our fiscal years ended 2008, 2007, and 2006.
    In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” was ratified.
 
This EITF Issue addresses accounting for separate agreements which split life insurance policy benefits between an employer and employee. The Issue requires the employer to recognize a liability for future benefits payable to the employee under these agreements. The effects of applying this Issue must be recognized through either a change in accounting principle through an adjustment to equity or through the retrospective application to all prior periods. The consensus in this Issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, meaning it is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2008. The Company does not expect adoption of the Issue to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.
    Effective November 17, 2006, the FDIC implemented a one-time credit of $4.7 billion to eligible institutions.  The purpose of the credit is to recognize contributions made by certain institutions to capitalize the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund, which have now been merged into the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF).  The Bank is an eligible institution and received notice from the FDIC that its share of the credit was $169,000.  The amount was not reflected in the Company’s financial statements as it represented contingent future credits against future insurance assessment payments.  As of June 30, 2008, substantially all of the credit has been absorbed, and the Company anticipates incurring additional expenses for DIF assessments beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

The carrying value of investment and mortgage-backed securities pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase amounted to $37,886,510 and $33,455,667 and at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Certain investments in debt and marketable equity securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at June 30, 2008 was $32 million, which is approximately 79.5% of the Bank’s available for sale investment portfolio, as compared to $33 million or approximately 94.9% of the Bank’s available for sale investment portfolio at June 30, 2007. These declines primarily resulted from recent changes in the credit markets.
Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in
 
market interest rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary.
Should the impairment of any of these securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.
    The following tables show our investments’ gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2008 and 2007.

NOTE 8:  Subordinated Debt
Southern Missouri Statutory Trust I issued $7.0 million of Floating Rate Capital Securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) with a liquidation value of $1,000 per share in March 2004. The securities are due in 30 years, redeemable after five years and bear interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR. At June 30, 2008, the current rate was 5.56%. The securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the trust, which was established by Southern Missouri for the purpose of issuing the securities. The Trust Preferred Securities were sold in a private transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
 
as amended (the “Act”) and have not been registered under the Act. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
Southern Missouri Statutory Trust I used the proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities to purchase Junior Subordinated Debentures of Southern Missouri Bancorp. Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. used its net proceeds for working capital and investment in its subsidiaries.
 
 

 




NOTE 9:  Employee Benefits
401(k). The Bank has a 401(k) profit sharing plan that covers substantially all eligible employees. Contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Bank. During 2008, 2007, and 2006, there were no contributions made to the plan.
 
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The Bank established a tax-qualified ESOP in April 1994. The plan covers substantially all employees who have attained the age of 21 and completed one year of service.
Benefits are vested over five years. Forfeitures are allocated on the same basis as other contributions. Benefits are payable upon a participant’s retirement, death, disability or separation of service. The Bank makes discretionary contributions to the ESOP. The ESOP expense for 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $200,000, $190,000, and $180,000, respectively.
 
The number of ESOP shares at June 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:
                                                     2008            2007   
Allocated shares                   173,719         160,270
 
Unreleased shares                                          -                 
         TOTAL ESOP SHARES     173,719           160,270
 
 
Management Recognition Plan (MRP). The Bank adopted an MRP for the benefit of non-employee directors and two MRPs for officers and key employees (who may also be directors) in April 1994. During 2004, the Bank granted 5,000 MRP shares to employees; during 2007, an additional 1,000 shares were granted; and during 2008, an additional 2,500 shares were awarded. The shares granted are in the form of restricted stock payable at the rate of 20% of such shares per year. During 2008, 1,300 MRP shares vested, which had been awarded in 2004, 2007, and 2008. Compensation expense, in the amount of the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant, will be recognized pro-rata over the five years during which the shares are payable.
 
 
The Board of Directors can terminate the MRPs at any time, and if it does so, any shares not allocated will revert to the Company. The MRP expense for 2008, 2007, and 2006, was $19,777, $13,147, and $10,890, respectively.
 
Stock Option Plan. The Company adopted a stock option plan in April 1994. The purpose of the plan was to provide additional incentive to certain directors, officers and key employees of the Bank. In October 1999, the stockholders voted to increase the number of shares reserved for options by 67,932 shares. The stock options were granted at the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. Through June 30, 1999, all options granted were 100% vested at the grant date. For shares granted after June 30, 1999, the vesting period ranged from the grant date up to a five year period. All options expire ten years from the date of the grant. The 1994 stock option plan expired in April 2004. In October 2003, a new stock option and incentive plan was adopted (“2003 Plan”). Under the 2003 Plan, the Company has granted 70,500 options to employees and directors.
In December, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock, based on the fair value of those awards at the date of grant, and eliminates the choice to account for employee stock options under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25), which is how the Company previously accounted for its stock options. The Company adopted SFAS 123R effective July 1, 2005. As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, incremental stock-based compensation expense recognized during fiscal 2006 was $53,106.
As of June 30, 2008, there was $53,000 in remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock options, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding at June 30, 2008, was $320,000. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercisable at June 30, 2008, was $313,000. The intrinsic value of options exercised in fiscal 2008 was $327,000. The intrinsic value of options vested in fiscal 2008 was $4,000.

NOTE 12:  Stockholders’ Equity and Regulatory Capital
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory — and possibly additional discretionary — actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification 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 Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total capital and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to
 
 
risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average total assets (as defined). Management believes, as of June 30, 2008, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of June 30, 2008, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Company’s only significant activity is ownership of the Bank, and, therefore, its capital, capital ratios, and minimum required levels of capital are materially the same as the Bank’s.
The following table summarizes the Bank’s actual and required regulatory capital:

NOTE 13:  Commitments and Credit Risk
Standby Letters of Credit. In the normal course of business, the Bank issues various financial standby, performance standby, and commercial letters of credit for its customers. As consideration for the letters of credit, the institution charges letter of credit fees based on the face amount of the letters and the creditworthiness of the counterparties. These letters of credit are stand-alone agreements, and are unrelated to any obligation the depositor has to the Bank.
Standby letters of credit are irrevocable conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Financial standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. Performance standby letters of credit are issued to guarantee performance of certain customers under non-financial contractual obligations. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.
The Bank had total outstanding standby letters of credit amounting to $1.1 million and $696,000 at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, with terms ranging from 12 to 24 months. At June 30, 2008, the Bank’s deferred revenue under standby letters of credit agreements was nominal.
 
Off-balance-sheet and Credit Risk. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements do not reflect various financial instruments to extend credit to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statements of financial condition. Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is
 
no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates. Since a portion of the line may expire without being drawn upon, the total unused lines do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate. Management uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
The Company had $50.4 million in commitments to extend credit at June 30, 2008, and $36.0 million at June 30, 2007.
At June 30, 2008, total commitments to originate fixed-rate loans with terms in excess of one year were $8.5 million at tax-equivalent rates ranging from 5.0% to 10.0%, with a weighted-average tax-equivalent rate of 6.83%. Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit include exposure to some credit loss in the event of nonperformance of the customer. The Company’s policies for credit commitments and financial guarantees are the same as those for extension of credit that are recorded in the statements of financial condition. The commitments extend over varying periods of time with the majority being disbursed within a thirty-day period.
The Company grants collateralized commercial, real estate, and consumer loans to customers in Southeast Missouri. Although the Company has a diversified portfolio, loans aggregating $149,340,000 at June 30, 2008, are secured by single and multi-family residential real estate in the Company’s primary lending area.

NOTE 15:  Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments. The fair values of certain of these instruments were calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which involves significant judgments by management and uncertainties. Fair value is the estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
 
 
Because no market exists for certain of these financial instruments and because management does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the Company does not know whether the fair values shown below represent values at which the respective financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing time deposits are valued at their carrying amounts which approximates fair value.
Fair values of investment and mortgage-backed securities are based on quoted market prices or, if unavailable, quoted market prices of similar securities.
Stock in FHLB is valued at cost which approximates fair value.
Fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations.
Fair value of Bank owned life insurance is equal to the cash surrender value of the underlying life insurance policies.
 
 
The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.
Deposits with no defined maturities, such as NOW accounts, savings accounts and money market deposit accounts, are valued at their carrying amount which approximates fair value.
The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
The carrying amounts of securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximate fair value.
Fair value of advances from the FHLB is estimated by discounting maturities using an estimate of the current market for similar instruments.
    The fair value of subordinated debt is estimated using rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities.
