NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and
therefore do not include information or footnotes necessary for a
complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations,
and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. However, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of
operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the
entire fiscal year.
2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings
Per Share". Statement No. 128 replaced the previously reported primary
and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings
per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share
excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible
securities. Diluted earnings per share differs from fully diluted
earnings per share in that average period market prices are utilized in
calculating weighted average common stock equivalents instead of period
ending market prices.
All earnings per share amounts have been presented, and where
necessary, restated to conform to the Statement No. 128 requirements.
3. LITIGATION
On March 27, 1995, the United States District Court for the Western
District of Pennsylvania entered an Opinion and Orders dismissing in
its entirety a lawsuit brought by Plaintiff William S. Karn, who is a
depositor of the Savings Bank and a shareholder of the Company, which
alleged, among other things, antitrust and securities laws violations
in connection with the Savings Bank's mutual - to - stock conversion.
The court also dismissed this same Plaintiff's federal claims in a
second and substantially similar lawsuit while remanding to the Court
of Common Pleas of Allegheny County any cognizable state law claims. On
February 6, 1998 the state law claims were dismissed.
The Company is involved with various other legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business. Management believes the outcome of these
matters will have no material effect on the consolidated operations or
consolidated financial condition of WVS.
<PAGE>
4. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income". Statement No. 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1997. This statement establishes standards for
reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components
(revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general purpose
financial statements. It requires that all items are required to be
recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive
income be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the
same prominence as other financial statements. Statement No. 130
requires that companies (i) classify items of other comprehensive
income by their nature in a financial statement and (ii) display the
accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from
retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section
of the statement of financial condition. Reclassification of financial
statements for earlier periods provided for comprehensive purposes is
required.

WVS FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
When used in this Form 10-Q, or, in future filings by the Company with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press releases or other
public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the
approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "will likely
result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate",
"project" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
including changes in economic conditions in the Company's market area, changes
in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for
loans in the Company's market area and competition that could cause actual
results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently
anticipated or projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place
undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of
the date made. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed
above could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the
Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any
opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current
statements.
The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any
obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
GENERAL
WVS Financial Corp. ("WVS" or the "Company") is the parent holding
company of West View Savings Bank ("West View" or the "Savings Bank"). The
Company was organized in July 1993 as a Pennsylvania-chartered unitary bank
holding company and acquired 100% of the common stock of the Savings Bank in
November 1993.
West View Savings Bank is a Pennsylvania-chartered, SAIF-insured stock
savings bank conducting business from six offices in the North Hills suburbs of
Pittsburgh. Originally organized under Pennsylvania law in 1908 as West View
Building Loan Association, West View changed its name to West View Savings and
Loan Association in 1954. In June 1992, West View converted from a
Pennsylvania-chartered mutual savings and loan association to a
Pennsylvania-chartered mutual savings bank. The Savings Bank converted to the
stock form of ownership in November 1993. The Savings Bank had no subsidiaries
at March 31, 1998.
The operating results of the Company depend primarily upon its net
interest income, which is determined by the difference between income on
interest-earning assets, principally loans, mortgage-backed securities and
investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities,
which consists primarily of deposits and borrowings. The Company's net income is
also affected by its provision for loan losses, as well as the level of its
non-interest income, including loan fees and service charges, and its
non-interest expenses, such as compensation and employee benefits, income taxes,
deposit insurance and occupancy costs.
<PAGE>
The Company's strategy focuses on traditional thrift lending,
maintaining asset quality and increasing core earnings.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company's assets totaled $297.8 million at March 31, 1998 as
compared to $294.7 million at June 30, 1997. The $3.1 million or 1.1% increase
in total assets was primarily comprised of a $3.9 million or 2.4% increase in
net loans receivable and a $1.4 million or 1.1% increase in investment and
mortgage-backed securities, including Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock,
which was partially offset by a $1.9 million or 100% decrease in
interest-earning demand deposits. The Company's total liabilities increased $3.3
million or 1.3% to $265.1 million as of March 31, 1998 from $261.8 million as of
June 30, 1997. The $3.3 million increase in total liabilities was primarily
comprised of a $9.3 million or 11.0% increase in Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
and other borrowings which was partially offset by a $5.8 million or 3.4%
decrease in total deposits. Total stockholders' equity decreased $200 thousand
or 6.1% to $32.7 million as of March 31, 1998 from $32.9 million as of June 30,
1997, primarily due to $2.8 million of Company net income for the nine months
ended March 31, 1998, which was offset by $4.7 million in cash dividends
declared on the Company's common stock.
ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT. The Company continued a strategy
designed to reduce the interest rate sensitivity of its financial assets to its
financial liabilities. The primary elements of this strategy include: (i)
expanding the Company's investment growth program in order to enhance net
interest income; (ii) maintaining the Company's level of short-term liquid
investments by funding loan commitments and purchasing longer-term investment
securities; (iii) emphasizing the retention of lower-cost savings accounts and
other core deposits; (iv) pricing the Company's certificates of deposit and loan
products nearer to the market average rate as opposed to the upper range of
market offered rates.
The Company has continued its investment growth program, originally
initiated in the third quarter of fiscal 1994, in order to realize additional
net interest income. Under this strategy, a longer-term callable or noncallable
investment security, or mortgage-backed security, is purchased and funded
through the use of short-term non-deposit liabilities, such as FHLB advances and
short-term borrowings. With this strategy, the Company increases its net
interest income, but also faces the risk, during periods of rising market
interest rates, that it may experience a decline in net interest income if the
rate paid on its various borrowings rises above the rate earned on the
investment security purchased. In order to mitigate this exposure, the Board has
placed certain restrictions on the investment growth program, including: (i) the
average outstanding daily balance of total borrowings, computed quarterly, may
not exceed $125.0 million; (ii) suitable investments shall be restricted to
those meeting the credit quality criteria outlined in the Company's investment
policy; (iii) each security purchased (excluding commercial paper) shall
initially yield a minimum of seventy-five basis points above the incremental
rate paid on short-term borrowings, at the time of purchase; and (iv) the
Company's total borrowed funds position may not exceed $150 million. In most
cases, the initial yield spread earned on investment security purchases exceeded
approximately one hundred to one hundred and forty basis points.
<PAGE>
The Company has continued to purchase bonds with optional principal
redemption features ("callable bonds") in order to capture additional net
interest income. Callable bonds generally provide investors with higher rates of
return than noncallable bonds because the issuer has the option to redeem the
bonds before maturity. While this strategy affords WVS the current opportunity
to improve its net interest income, during a period of declining interest rates,
such as was experienced during the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company
would be exposed to the risk that the investment will be redeemed prior to its
final stated maturity. In order to mitigate this risk, the Company has funded a
significant portion of its purchases of callable bonds with short-term
borrowings. Approximately $15.5 million of callable agency bonds with an
estimated weighted average rate of 7.5% were called during the quarter ended
March 31, 1998. During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company purchased
approximately $22.0 million of callable bonds with an approximate weighted
average yield to call and maturity of 6.4% and 7.3%, respectively. The callable
agency bond purchases, totaling $22.0 million, are summarized by initial term to
call as follows: $7.0 million within three months, $5.0 million with greater
than three months and within six months, $9.0 million with greater than six
months and within twelve months, and $1.0 million with greater than twelve
months and within twenty-four months.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company increased its
mortgage-backed securities holdings by $11.7 million. At March 31, 1998 the
Company held $47.2 million of mortgage-backed securities with an approximate
yield of 7.0%. The mortgage-backed securities purchases were made in order to
earn a higher yield with an expected average life profile comparable to
longer-term callable agency bonds.
The Company also makes available for origination residential mortgage
loans with interest rates which adjust pursuant to a designated index, although
customer acceptance has been somewhat limited in the Savings Bank's market area.
The Company will continue to offer land acquisition and development and
shorter-term construction loans, primarily on residential properties, to
partially increase its loan asset sensitivity.
During the nine months ended March 31, 1998, the Company borrowed
approximately $53.4 million from the FHLB in the way of various borrowings with
a weighted average rate of 5.40% and $38.6 million in other borrowings with a
weighted average rate of 5.62%. During the nine months ended March 31, 1998, the
Company repaid $44.3 million of FHLB advances and $38.3 million of other
borrowings. Due to a decline in market interest rates during the nine months
ended March 31, 1998, the Company increased its use of FHLB Convertible Select
advances. FHLB Convertible Select advances offer fixed rate funding during a
portion of the advance term. After this initial period, the FHLB may elect to
convert the advance to variable interest rate, generally on a quarterly basis.
If the FHLB elects to convert the advance, the Company may repay the advance
without penalty. The Company believes that FHLB Convertible Select advances
offer an attractive funding alternative to short-term fixed rate advances or
broker repurchase agreements under present market conditions.
As of March 31, 1998, the implementation of these asset and liability
management initiatives resulted in the following: (i) an aggregate of $53.2
million or 32.8% of the Company's net loan portfolio had adjustable interest
rates or maturities of less than 12 months; (ii) $18.2 million or 38.5% of the
Company's portfolio of mortgage-backed securities (including CMOs) were secured
by floating rate securities; (iii) $3.2 million or 4.1% of the Company's
investment securities portfolio had scheduled maturities of one year or less;
and (iv) $75.0 million or 95.3% of the Company's investment securities portfolio
was comprised of callable bonds.

The effect of interest rate changes on a financial institution's assets
and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and
liabilities are "interest rate sensitive" and by monitoring an institution's
interest rate sensitivity "gap". An asset or liability is said to be interest
rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within
a given time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of rate
sensitive assets exceeds the amount of rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is
considered negative when the amount of interest sensitive liabilities exceeds
the amount of interest sensitive assets. During a period of falling interest
rates, a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income, while
a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income.
During a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap would tend to result in
an increase in net interest income, while a negative gap would tend to adversely
affect net interest income.
The Company's one year cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap
amounted to a negative 28.0% of total assets at March 31, 1998 as compared to a
negative 13.3% at June 30, 1997, in each instance, based on certain assumptions
by management with respect to the repricing of certain assets and liabilities.
At March 31, 1998, the Company's interest-earning assets maturing or repricing
within one year totaled $88.6 million while the Company's interest-bearing
liabilities maturing or repricing within one year totaled $171.8 million,
providing a deficiency of interest-earning assets over interest-bearing
liabilities of $83.2 million. At March 31, 1998, the percentage of the Company's
assets to liabilities maturing or repricing within one year was 51.5%.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General. WVS reported net income of $874 thousand and $2.8 million for
the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998. Net income decreased by $40
thousand or 4.4% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the
same period in 1997. The decrease was primarily the result of a $146 thousand
increase in employee salaries and benefits expense which was partially offset by
a $64 thousand increase in net interest income, a $20 thousand increase in
non-interest income and a $26 thousand decrease in income tax expense. Net
income increased by $729 thousand or 35.1% for the nine months ended March 31,
1998 when compared to the same period in 1997. The $729 thousand or 35.1%
increase in net income was principally the result of a $690 thousand decrease in
non-interest expense, a $180 thousand decrease in the provision for loan losses
and a $136 thousand increase in net interest income, which was partially offset
by a $286 thousand increase in income tax expense. The decrease in non-interest
expense for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 was primarily attributable to
one-time items in 1997, including a $1.1 million one-time charge to recapitalize
the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which was partially offset by a
$487 thousand increase in employee compensation expense. The $136 thousand
increase in net interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 was
chiefly attributable to increases in interest earned on investment and
mortgage-backed securities and net loans receivable of $356 thousand and $627
thousand, respectively, and a $55 thousand decrease in interest expense on
deposits, which was partially offset by an $885 thousand increase in interest
expense on Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and other borrowings.
<PAGE>
Net Interest Income. The Company's net interest income increased by $64
thousand or 2.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the
same period in 1997. The increase resulted from a $294 thousand or 5.6% increase
in interest income which was partially offset by a $230 thousand or 8.6%
increase in interest expense. For the nine months ended March 31, 1998, net
interest income increased by $136 thousand or 1.8%, when compared to the same
period in 1997. The increase resulted from a $965 million or 6.2% increase in
interest income which was partially offset by an $829 thousand or 10.4% increase
in interest expense.
Interest Income. Interest on net loans receivable increased by $224
thousand or 7.3% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the
same period in 1997. The increase was attributable to an increase of $11.7
million in the average balance of net loans receivable outstanding, which was
partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average yield earned on net loans
receivable of 3 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 1998 when
compared to the same period in 1997. Interest on net loans receivable increased
by $627 thousand or 6.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 when compared
to the same period in 1997. The increase was attributable to a $11.2 million
increase in the average balance of outstanding loans which was partially offset
by a 4 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield earned on outstanding
loans for the nine months ended March 31, 1998. The increases in the average
loan balance outstanding for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998 were
primarily attributable to higher levels of real estate and consumer loan
originations.
Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $20 thousand or
3.0% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the same period
in 1997. The decrease was attributable to a $441 thousand decrease in the
average balance of mortgage-backed securities outstanding and a 12 basis point
decrease in the weighted average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the same period in 1997.
Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $146 thousand or 7.1% for the
nine months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease was primarily attributable to a
$2.7 million decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities
outstanding and a 3 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield earned on
mortgage-backed securities for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 when
compared to the same period in 1997. The decrease in the average balance of
mortgage-backed securities outstanding was due to principal repayment during the
period. The decrease in the weighted average yield earned, during both periods,
was principally attributable to higher levels of premium amortization due to
faster rates of principal repayment, when compared to the same period in 1997.
Interest and dividend income on interest-bearing deposits with other
institutions, investment securities and FHLB Stock ("other investment
securities") increased by $90 thousand or 6.1% for the three months ended March
31, 1998 when compared to the same period in 1997. The increase was attributable
to a $4.7 million increase in the average balance of other investment securities
outstanding, which was partially offset by a 21 basis point decrease in the
weighted average yield earned on other investment securities for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the same period in 1997. Interest
on other investment securities increased $484 thousand or 11.3% for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the same period in 1997. The
increase in interest income on other investment securities was attributable to a
$7.0 million increase in the average balance of other investment securities
outstanding and a 68 basis point increase in the weighted average yield earned
<PAGE>
on other investment securities for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 when
compared to the same period in 1997. The increases in the average balance of
other investment securities during both three and nine month periods ended March
31, 1998 was principally attributable to purchases of commercial paper, which
were made in order to capitalize on seasonally high calendar year end commercial
paper rates and for liquidity management.
Interest Expense. Interest expense on deposits and escrows decreased by
$51 thousand or 2.9% and decreased by $56 thousand or 1.1% for the three and
nine months ended March 31, 1998, respectively, when compared to the same
periods in 1997. The decrease in interest expense on deposits and escrows was
principally attributable to a $3.7 million decrease in the average balance of
interest-bearing deposits and escrows for the three months ended March 31, 1998
when compared to the same period in 1997. For the nine months ended March 31,
1998, the decrease in interest expense on deposits and escrows was primarily
attributable to a $2.5 million decrease in the average balance of
interest-bearing deposits and escrows which was partially offset by a 10 basis
point increase in the average yield paid on deposits and escrows, when compared
to the same period in 1997.
Interest expense on other borrowings increased by $281 thousand and
increased by $885 thousand for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998,
respectively, when compared to the same periods in 1997. The increase associated
with both periods is primarily attributable to funding the Company's investment
growth program.
Provision for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses is charged to
earnings to bring the total allowance to a level considered adequate by
management to absorb potential losses in the portfolio. Management's
determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of the
portfolio, past loan loss experience, current economic conditions, volume,
growth and composition of the loan portfolio, and other relevant factors.
For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company made no
provision for loan losses. The Company's provision for loan losses decreased by
$180 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 1998, when compared to the
same period in 1997. The decrease in provision for loan losses for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998 was primarily due to a recovery of previously
established loan loss reserves attributable to the payoff of a commercial loan
participation. At March 31, 1998, the Company's total allowance for loan losses
amounted to $1.9 million or 1.2% of the Company's total loan portfolio as
compared to $2.0 million, or 1.3% at June 30, 1997.
Non-Interest Income. Total non-interest income increased by $20
thousand and $9 thousand for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998,
respectively, when compared to the same periods in 1997. The increase in
non-interest income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998 was
primarily attributable to increased service charges on automated teller machines
and transaction accounts. The increase in non-interest income for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998 was partially offset by the absence of a $26
thousand gain from the sale of securities in 1997.
Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased $150
thousand or 13.3% and decreased $690 thousand or 15.7% for the three and nine
months ended March 31, 1998, respectively, when compared to the same periods in
1997.
<PAGE>
Federal deposit insurance premiums decreased $2 thousand or 7.1% and
$1.2 million or 95.6% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998,
respectively, when compared to the same periods in 1997. The decrease for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 was primarily attributable to normal and recurring
levels of SAIF premiums based upon deposit size. The decrease for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998 was principally attributable to the absence of a
$1.1 million one-time charge to recapitalize the SAIF as required by federal
law.
Compensation and employee benefits expense increased $146 thousand or
19.5% and increased $487 thousand or 23.4% for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 1998, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 1997. The
increase for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was primarily attributable to an
$88 thousand increase in ESOP expense and a $50 thousand increase in employee
compensation expense. The increase for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 was
principally attributable to a $280 thousand increase in ESOP expense and a $131
thousand increase in employee compensation expense. In accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, ESOP costs totaling $104 thousand and $305
thousand were added back to the additional paid in capital component of
stockholders' equity during the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 1998,
respectively.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased by $26 thousand or
4.6% and increased by $286 thousand or 21.1% for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 1998, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 1997. The
change in income tax expense, for both periods, was attributable to varying
levels of taxable income during the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $4.2 million during
the nine months ended March 31, 1998. Net cash provided by operating activities
was primarily comprised of $2.8 million of net income, a $776 thousand increase
in ESOP, RRP and deferred and unearned compensation amortization and a $411
thousand decrease in accrued and deferred income taxes.
Funds used for investing activities totaled $4.6 million during the
nine months ended March 31, 1998. The primary uses of funds during the nine
months ended March 31, 1998 consisted of $101.8 million used for the purchase of
investment and mortgage-backed securities and a $3.9 million net increase in
loans receivable, which were partially offset by the receipt of $99.4 million of
proceeds from the repayment of principal on investments and mortgage-backed
securities.
Funds used for financing activities totaled $1.7 million for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998. Primary financial uses include a $5.8 million
decrease in deposits, a $1.0 million decrease in advance payments by borrowers
for taxes and insurance, and $4.8 million of cash dividends disbursed, which was
partially offset by a $9.3 million increase in FHLB advances and other
borrowings. Financial institutions generally, including the Company, have
experienced a certain degree of depositor disintermediation to other investment
alternatives. Management believes that the degree of disintermediation
experienced by the Company has not had a material impact on overall liquidity.
As of March 31, 1998, $70.3 million or 42.6% of the Company's total deposits
consisted of core deposits. Management has determined that it currently is
maintaining adequate liquidity and continues to match funding sources with
lending and investment opportunities.
<PAGE>
The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization,
prepayments and maturities of existing loans, mortgage-backed securities and
investment securities, funds from operations, and funds obtained through FHLB
borrowings. At March 31, 1998, the total approved loan commitments outstanding
amounted to $1.7 million. At the same date commitments under unused lines of
credit amounted to $7.2 million and the unadvanced portion of construction loans
approximated $13.1 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one
year or less at March 31, 1998 totaled $59.9 million. Management believes that a
significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with the Company.
Historically, the Company used its sources of funds primarily to meet
its ongoing commitments to pay maturing savings certificates and savings
withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain a substantial portfolio of
investment securities. The Company has been able to generate sufficient cash
through the retail deposit market, its traditional funding source, and through
FHLB advances and other borrowings, to provide the cash utilized in investing
activities. The Company has established a $15.0 million line of credit with the
FHLB, which is scheduled to mature on March 25, 1999 and is subject to various
conditions, including the pledging and delivery of acceptable collateral. The
primary purpose of the line of credit is to serve as a back-up liquidity
facility for the Company, however, the Company does from time to time utilize
the line of credit to purchase investment securities and fund other commitments.
In addition, the Company has access to the Federal Reserve Bank discount window.
Management believes that the Company currently has adequate liquidity available
to respond to liquidity demands.
On April 28, 1998 the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash
dividend of $0.30 per share, payable May 22, 1998 to shareholders of record at
the close of business on May 11, 1998. Dividends will be subject to
determination and declaration by the Board of Directors, which take into account
the Company's financial condition, statutory and regulatory restrictions,
general economic conditions and other factors. There can be no assurance that
dividends will in fact be paid on the Common Stock or that, if paid, such
dividends will not be reduced or eliminated in future periods.
As of March 31, 1998, WVS Financial Corp. exceeded all regulatory
capital requirements and maintained Tier I and total risk-based capital equal to
$32.6 million or 22.2% and $34.4 million or 23.5%, respectively, of total
risk-weighted assets, and Tier I leverage capital of $32.6 million or 11.1% of
average quarterly assets.
Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans and real estate owned.
A loan is placed on nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of management, the
probability of collection of interest is deemed insufficient to warrant further
accrual. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but
uncollected interest is deducted from interest income. The Company normally does
not accrue interest on loans past due 90 days or more, however, interest may be
accrued if management believes that it will collect on the loan.
The Company's nonperforming assets at March 31, 1998 totaled
approximately $600 thousand or 0.2% of total assets as compared to $274 thousand
or 0.1% of total assets as of June 30, 1997. Nonperforming assets at March 31,
1998 consisted of $480 thousand in commercial real estate loans, $52 thousand in
single-family loans, and $68 thousand in consumer loans. Approximately $9
thousand of additional interest income would have been recorded during the nine
months ended March 31, 1998, if the Company's nonaccrual and restructured loans
had been current in accordance with their original loan terms and outstanding
throughout the nine months ended March 31, 1998.
<PAGE>
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and,
to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. All of the Company's transactions are
denominated in U.S. dollars with no specific foreign exchange exposure. The
Savings Bank has no agricultural loan assets and therefore would not have a
specific exposure to changes in commodity prices. Any impacts that changes in
foreign exchange rates and commodity prices would have on interest rates are
assumed to be exogenous and will be analyzed on an ex post basis.
Interest-rate risk ("IRR") is the exposure of a banking organization's
financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Accepting this risk
can be an important source of profitability and shareholder value, however
excessive levels of IRR can pose a significant threat to the Company's earnings
and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains IRR at
prudent levels is essential to the Company's safety and soundness.
Evaluating a financial institution's exposure to changes in interest
rates includes assessing both the adequacy of the management process used to
control IRR and the organization's quantitative level of exposure. When
assessing the IRR management process, the Company seeks to ensure that
appropriate policies, procedures, management information systems and internal
controls are in place to maintain IRR at prudent levels with consistency and
continuity. Evaluating the quantitative level of IRR exposure requires the
Company to assess the existing and potential future effects of changes in
interest rates on its consolidated financial condition, including capital
adequacy, earnings, liquidity, and, where appropriate, asset quality.
The Federal Reserve Board, together with the Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, adopted a Joint
Agency Policy Statement on Interest-Rate Risk, effective June 26, 1996. The
policy statement provides guidance to examiners and bankers on sound practices
for managing interest rate risk, which will form the basis for ongoing
evaluation of the adequacy of interest-rate risk management at supervised
institutions. The policy statement also outlines fundamental elements of sound
management that have been identified in prior Federal Reserve guidance and
discusses the importance of these elements in the context of managing
interest-rate risk. Specifically, the guidance emphasizes the need for active
board of director and senior management oversight and a comprehensive
risk-management process that effectively identifies, measures, and controls
interest-rate risk. Financial institutions derive their income primarily from
the excess of interest collected over interest paid. The rates of interest an
institution earns on its assets and owes on its liabilities generally are
established contractually for a period of time. Since market interest rates
change over time, an institution is exposed to lower profit margins (or losses)
if it cannot adapt to interest-rate changes. For example, assume that an
institution's assets carry intermediate- or long-term fixed rates and that those
assets were funded with short-term liabilities. If market interest rates rise by
the time the short-term liabilities must be refinanced, the increase in the
institution's interest expense on its liabilities may not be sufficiently offset
if assets continue to earn at the long-term fixed rates. Accordingly, an
institution's profits could decrease on existing assets because the institution
will either have lower net interest income or, possibly, net interest expense.
Similar risks exist when assets are subject to contractual interest-rate
ceilings, or rate sensitive assets are funded by longer-term, fixed-rate
liabilities in a decreasing-rate environment.
<PAGE>
Several techniques might be used by an institution to minimize
interest-rate risk. One approach used by the Company is to periodically analyze
its assets and liabilities and make future financing and investment decisions
based on payment streams, interest rates, contractual maturities, and estimated
sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates. Such
activities fall under the broad definition of asset/liability management. The
Company's primary asset/liability management technique is the measurement of the
Company's asset/liability gap-that is, the difference between the cash flow
amounts of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities that will be refinanced (or
repriced) during a given period. For example, if the asset amount to be repriced
exceeds the corresponding liability amount for a certain day, month, year, or
longer period, the institution is in an asset-sensitive gap position. In this
situation, net interest income would increase if market interest rates rose or
decrease if market interest rates fell. If, alternatively, more liabilities than
assets will reprice, the institution is in a liability-sensitive position.
Accordingly, net interest income would decline when rates rose and increase when
rates fell. Also, these examples assume that interest-rate changes for assets
and liabilities are of the same magnitude, whereas actual interest-rate changes
generally differ in magnitude for assets and liabilities.
An institution could also manage interest-rate risk by: selling
existing assets or repaying certain liabilities; matching repricing periods for
new assets and liabilities for example, by shortening terms of new loans or
investments; hedging existing assets, liabilities, or anticipated transactions.
An institution might also invest in more complex financial instruments intended
to hedge or otherwise change interest-rate risk. Interest-rate swaps, futures
contracts, options on futures, and other such derivative financial instruments
often are used for this purpose. Because these instruments are sensitive to
interest-rate changes, they require management expertise to be effective.
Financial institutions are also subject to prepayment risk in falling rate
environments. For example, mortgage loans and other financial assets may be
prepaid by a debtor so that the debtor may refund its obligations at new, lower
rates. The Company has not purchased derivative financial instruments in the
past and does not presently intend to purchase such instruments in the near
future. Prepayments of assets carrying higher rates reduce the Company's
interest income and overall asset yields. A large portion of an institution's
liabilities may be short term or due on demand, while most of its assets may be
invested in long-term loans or investments. Accordingly, the Company seeks to
have in place sources of cash to meet short-term demands. These funds can be
obtained by increasing deposits, borrowing, or selling assets. Also, FHLB
advances and wholesale borrowings have become increasingly important sources of
liquidity for the Company.
The following table provides information about the Company's financial
instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of March 31, 1998
based on the information and assumptions set forth in the notes. The Company
believes that the assumptions utilized, which are based on statistical data
provided by a federal regulatory agency in the Company's market area, are
reasonable. The Company had no derivative financial instruments, or trading
portfolio, as of March 31, 1998. The expected maturity date values for loans
receivable, mortgage-backed securities, and investment securities were
calculated by adjusting the instrument's contractual maturity date for
expectations of prepayments, as set forth in the notes. Similarly, expected
maturity date values for interest-bearing core deposits were calculated based
upon estimates of the period over which the deposits would be outstanding as set
forth in the notes. With respect to the Company's adjustable rate instruments,
expected maturity date values were measured by adjusting the instrument's
<PAGE>
contractual maturity date for expectations of prepayments, as set forth in the
notes. From a risk management perspective, however, the Company believes that
repricing dates, as opposed to expected maturity dates, may be a more relevant
metric in analyzing the value of such instruments. Similarly, substantially all
of the Company's investment securities portfolio is comprised of callable
government agency securities. Company borrowings were tabulated by contractual
maturity dates and without regard to any conversion or repricing dates.
