UNITED COMMUNITY BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION- United Community Bancorp (the Company), a Federally-chartered corporation, is the mid-tier holding company for United Community Bank (the Bank), which is a Federally-chartered, FDIC-insured savings bank. The Company was organized in conjunction with the Banks reorganization from a mutual savings bank to the mutual holding company structure on March 30, 2006. United Community MHC, a Federally-chartered corporation, is the mutual holding company parent of the Company. United Community MHC owns 59% of the Companys outstanding common stock and must always own at least a majority of the voting stock of the Company. The Company, through the Bank, operates in a single business segment providing traditional banking services through its office and branches in southeastern Indiana. UCB Real Estate Management Holding, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Community Bank. The entity was formed for the purpose of holding assets that are acquired by the Bank through, or in lieu of, foreclosure.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and therefore do not include all information or footnotes necessary for complete financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. There are no adjustments other than such normal recurring adjustments. The results for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2008, which are included on the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 2008.
2. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (ESOP) As of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, the ESOP owned 245,262 and 275,538 shares respectively of the Companys common stock, which were held in a suspense account until released for allocation to participants.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS) Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for ESOP shares not yet committed to be released. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2008, 346,304 shares subject to stock option awards were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average number of shares due to their effect of being anti-dilutive. The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding:

4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment to stock-based compensation, which requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments and to recognize this cost in the financial statements over the period during which the employee is required to provide such services. The Company has elected to recognize compensation cost associated with its outstanding stock-based compensation awards with graded vesting on an accelerated basis pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R). The expense is calculated for stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expense associated with restricted stock awards is calculated based upon the value of the common stock on the date of grant.

5. DIVIDENDS On July 24, 2008, October 23, 2008 and January 22, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company declared cash dividends on the Companys outstanding shares of stock of $0.09 per share. United Community MHC, which owns 4,655,200 shares of the Companys common stock, waived receipt of the dividends. The dividends were paid on August 31, 2008 and November 30, 2008. The third dividend will be paid on or around February 27, 2009. Accordingly, cash dividends, net of unvested shares held in ESOP, approximating $486,000 were paid to shareholders during the six month period ended December 31, 2008. United Community MHC has waived its right to receive cash dividends of approximately $838,000 on its owned shares of Company common stock.

7. TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS From time to time, as part of our loss mitigation process, loans may be renegotiated in a troubled debt restructuring when we determine that greater economic value will ultimately be recovered under the new terms than through foreclosure, liquidation, or bankruptcy. We may consider the borrowers payment status and history, the borrowers ability to pay upon a rate reset on an adjustable rate mortgage, size of the payment increase upon a rate reset, period of time remaining prior to the rate reset, and other relevant factors in determining whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. At December 31, 2008, the Bank had one loan for $1.1 million, with an additional $579,000 available, that qualified as a troubled debt restructuring. At December 31, 2008, the Bank has recognized an impairment charge of $109,000 on that same loan.
8. EFFECT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Effective July 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 has been applied prospectively as of the beginning of the year.
FAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
Level 2 | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | |
Level 3 | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
6
Fair value methods and assumptions are set forth below for each type of financial instrument.
Securities available for sale
Fair value on available for sale securities was based upon a market approach. Securities which are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are traded in active markets, are valued using prices obtained from our custodian, who used third party data service providers. Available for sale securities includes U.S. agency securities, municipal bonds and mortgage-backed agency securities.

The Company is predominately an asset based lender with real estate serving as collateral on a substantial majority of loans. Loans which are deemed to be impaired are primarily valued on a nonrecurring basis at the fair values of the underlying real estate collateral. Such fair values are obtained using independent appraisals, which the Company considers to be Level 2 inputs. The aggregate carrying amount of impaired loans at December 31, 2008 was approximately $2,709,000.
FASB Staff Position Number FAS 157-2 delays the implementation of SFAS 157 until the first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 with respect to goodwill, other intangible assets, real estate and other assets acquired through foreclosure and other non-financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Item 2. | Management Discussion and Analysis |
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words believe, expect, intend, anticipate, estimate, project or similar expressions. The Companys ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, national and regional economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the quality and composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in the Banks market area, changes in real estate market values in the Banks market area, and changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines. Additionally, other risks and uncertainties may be described in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 2008 and the Companys Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2008, which is available through the SECs website at www.sec.gov, as well as under Part IIItem 1A. Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Critical Accounting Policies
We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies: allowance for loan losses and deferred income taxes.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover probable credit losses in the loan portfolio at the statement of financial condition date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to income. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Among the material estimates required to establish the allowance are: loss exposure at default; the amount and timing of future cash flows on impacted loans; value of collateral; and determination of loss factors to be applied to the various elements of the portfolio. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. Management reviews the level of the allowance on a quarterly basis and establishes the provision for loan losses based upon an evaluation of the portfolio, past loss experience, current economic conditions and other factors related to the collectibility of the loan portfolio. Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, the OTS, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses. Such agency may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its examination. A large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect earnings. For additional discussion, see notes 1 and 5 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
DEFERRED INCOME TAXES We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. If current available information raises doubt as to the realization of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is established. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets. These judgments require us to make projections of future taxable income. The judgments and estimates we make in determining our deferred
8
tax assets, which are inherently subjective, are reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period, which would negatively affect earnings.
Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008
Total assets were $373.2 million at December 31, 2008, compared to $382.7 million at June 30, 2008. The decrease is primarily due to a $15.9 million decrease in cash and a $670,000 decrease in deferred tax assets, partially offset by a $3.4 million increase in investments and a $4.0 million increase in net loans receivable. The decrease in cash was caused by a decrease in deposits, primarily municipal deposits.
Total liabilities were $317.7 million at December 31, 2008, compared to $328.2 million at June 30, 2008. The decrease in total liabilities is primarily due to a decrease of $11.2 million in municipal deposits in the current year. The decrease in municipal deposits reflects the cyclical nature of municipal deposits, which are affected by the timing of receipt of tax revenues and spending for ongoing civil projects.
Total stockholders equity was $55.5 million at December 31, 2008, compared to $54.5 million at June 30, 2008. The increase in stockholders equity is attributable to a $671,000 increase in unrealized gains on securities available for sale, an increase of $281,000 in additional paid-in capital, and a $163,000 increase in retained earnings, partially offset by a $204,000 increase in treasury shares, and a $66,000 decrease in shares held for stock plans. The increase in unrealized gains on securities available for sale is attributable to the impact of falling market rates on securities held at higher fixed rates. The increase in additional paid-in capital and decrease in shares held for stock plans are both attributable to the continued amortization of the stock benefit plans. The increase to retained earnings is attributable to $649,000 in net income earned during the six months ended December 31, 2008, partially offset by dividends paid of $486,000. The increase in treasury shares is attributable to the purchase of 24,500 shares during the six months ended December 31, 2008 at a weighted average price of $8.25 per share.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $424,000, or 16.9%, in the quarter ended December 31, 2008, as compared to the prior year quarter. This increase is due to an increase in the net interest margin from 2.79% to 3.28%, primarily caused by a decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities to 2.58% from 3.86% in the prior year quarter, partially offset by a decrease in the average rate on interest earning assets to 5.61% from 6.17% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in rates in the current year quarter has been driven by decreases in market rates.
Net interest income increased $687,000, or 13.5%, in the six months ended December 31, 2008, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase is largely due to an increase in the net interest margin from 2.83% to 3.22%. The increase in the net interest margin is the result of a decrease in the average interest rate paid on interest bearing liabilities from 3.85% to 2.71%, partially offset by a decrease in the average rate of interest earning assets from 6.19% to 5.67%. The decrease in rates has been driven by decreases in market rates in the current year.

The provision for loan losses was $396,000 for the three months ended ended December 31, 2008 compared to $690,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $594,000 in nonperforming loans during the current year quarter, compared to a $4.0 million increase in nonperforming loans during the prior year quarter. Even though nonperforming loans decreased, current economic conditions have required an increase to the general provision in the current year quarter.
The provision for loan losses was $731,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease to the provision in the current year is primarily the result of a decrease of $1.7 million in nonperforming loans during the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to an increase of $5.8 million in nonperforming loans during the six months ended December 31, 2007, partially offset by increases to the provision due to current economic conditions.

Nonperforming loans decreased from $7.5 million at June 30, 2008 to $5.6 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease is attributable to three loans, which are secured by the same property, being transferred to REO during the year. The Bank recorded in REO the balance due on these loans, less any specific reserves already taken, reducing the balance in nonperforming assets. The Bank recorded a troubled debt restructuring as of December 31, 2008 for the amount of $1.1 million. The entire balance of the troubled debt restructuring is included above in multi-family residential real estate. In addition to the amount included, $579,000 of additional borrowings are available for this loan. Management has reduced the carrying value of this loan to its fair market value, $991,000, and does not anticipate any additional material losses or write-downs related to this loan based upon the borrowers ability to repay the loan and the underlying value of the collateral. Other nonperforming assets (comprised exclusively of REO at December 31, 2008) increased to $3.0 million at December 31, 2008 from a net balance of $2.9 million at June 30, 2008. Included in REO at December 31, 2008 are four properties, a golf course, a tract of land adjacent to a golf course held for residential real estate development, 26 acres that served as a landscape nursery, and a commercial real estate building. To reduce the risk of loss to the Bank, all of these properties are owned by the Banks wholly-owned subsidiary, Real Estate Management Holdings, LLC (REMH). For the six months ended December 31, 2008, REMH has a net loss of $39,000. This amount is included in net income for the Company for the six months ended December 31, 2008. The Bank is actively working to sell all of the assets in REO, and continues to maintain and operate the properties and monitor their value based upon current market conditions. Where necessary, management will reserve for losses on the sale of certain properties based upon the most recent appraised value of those properties. At December 31, 2008, there were no reserves for losses on the sale of REO. At June 30, 2008, there were $129,000 in reserves for losses on sale of REO.

Noninterest income increased $15,000, or 3.1%, for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in noninterest income was the result of an increase of $144,000 in service charge income, partially offset by a $75,000 loss on sale of investments in the quarter ended December 31, 2008, and a decrease of $51,000 in other income. The increase in service charge income is primarily a result of increased fees received from the customer account fee and transaction fee programs that were implemented in 2008. The loss on sale of investments is attributable to the sale of investment securities that were invested in private label and government agency mortgage-backed securities. The market value of these securities has been negatively impacted by the deterioration in the credit markets and management has decided to exit its investment in this security within the parameters of the redemption in kind provision to reduce any further losses. The decrease in other income is attributable to a decrease in lease income after land being leased was sold on June 30, 2008.
Noninterest income increased $316,000, or 35.8%, for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in noninterest income is primarily the result of increased fees from the customer account fee and transaction fee programs that were implemented in 2008.

Noninterest expense increased $80,000, or 3.1%, for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase is the result of an increase in the FDIC insurance premium of $57,000, an increase in ATM fees of $26,000, and an increase in premises and occupancy expenses of $81,000, partially offset by a decrease of $96,000 in compensation and employee benefits expenses. The increase in ATM service fees is related to the previously mentioned customer account fee and transaction fee programs that were implemented in 2008. The increase in premises and occupancy expenses is due to increased costs for repairs, maintenance, building insurance, computers, and networking expenses. The decrease in compensation and employee benefits is due to the reduction in annual expenses for stock compensation plans for which the Company had elected to expense on an accelerated basis.
Noninterest expense increased $261,000, or 5.3%, for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in the current year is primarily the result of a $111,000 increase in the FDIC Insurance premium, a $88,000 increase in premises and occupancy expense, a $45,000 increase in ATM service fees, and a $188,000 increase in other operating expenses, partially offset by a decrease in compensation and employee benefits of $159,000. The increase in premises and occupancy expenses is a result of increased costs for repairs, maintenance, building insurance, computers, and networking expenses. The increase in ATM service fees is related to the customer account fee and transaction fee programs that were implemented in 2008. The increase in other operating expenses is due to increased expenses in maintaining REO and increased audit fees in the current year.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense increased to $144,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 from a benefit of $93,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The increase in expense is primarily due to a $653,000 increase in pre-tax earnings. Income tax expense increased to $361,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to a benefit of $272,000 for the same period in 2007. The increase in expense is primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in pre-tax earnings.
Liquidity Management. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
15
We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of: (1) expected loan demands; (2) expected deposit flows, in particular municipal deposit flows; (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy.
Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $19.8 million and $35.7 million at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively. Securities classified as available-for-sale whose market value exceeds our cost, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $33.2 million and $6.9 million at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively. Total securities classified as available-for-sale were $41.4 million and $38.0 million at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively. In addition, at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $91.5 million and $83.0 million, respectively, from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. The Bank had $4.3 million and $4.8 in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank as of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively.
At December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, we had $24.1 million and $25.4 million in loan commitments outstanding, respectively. At December 31, 2008, this consisted of $1.7 million of mortgage loan commitments, $0.1 million of commercial loan commitments, $15.5 million in unused home equity lines of credit, $5.6 million in commercial lines of credit, and $1.2 million of letters of credit outstanding. Of the $1.7 million in mortgage loan commitments, $1.0 million is designated for sale, servicing retained. At June 30, 2008, we had $2.6 million in mortgage loan commitments, $15.8 million in unused home equity lines of credit, $5.7 million in commercial lines of credit, and $1.3 million in letters of credit outstanding. Certificates of deposit due within one year of December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 totaled $105.5 million and $82.7 million, respectively. This represented 71.1% and 56.6% of certificates of deposit at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before December 31, 2008. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
Our primary investing activities are the origination and purchase of loans and the purchase of securities. Our primary financing activities consist of activity in deposit accounts, dividends paid to stockholders and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive and to increase core deposit relationships. Occasionally, we offer promotional rates on certain deposit products to attract deposits.
Capital Management. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of Thrift Supervision, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements. We are considered well capitalized under regulatory guidelines.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, letters of credit and lines of credit. For information about our loan commitments and unused lines of credit, see note 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008, as filed with the SEC. We currently have no plans to engage in hedging activities in the future.
For the year ended June 30, 2008 and for the six months ended December 31, 2008, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
For a discussion of the Companys asset and liability management policies as well as the potential impact of interest rate changes upon the market value of the Companys portfolio equity, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 2008. The main components of market risk for the Company are interest rate risk and liquidity risk. The Company manages interest rate risk and liquidity risk by establishing and monitoring the volume, maturities, pricing and mix of assets and funding sources with the objective of managing assets and funding sources to provide results that are consistent with liquidity, growth, risk limits and profitability goals. Model simulation is used to measure earnings volatility under both rising and falling rate scenarios.
We use a net portfolio value analyses prepared by the Office of Thrift Supervision to review our level of interest rate risk. This analysis measures interest rate risk by computing changes in net portfolio value of our cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. Net portfolio value represents the market value of portfolio equity and is equal to the market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance sheet items. These analyses assess the risk of loss in market risk-sensitive instruments in the event of a sudden and sustained 50 to 300 basis point increase or 50 or 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates with no effect given to any steps that we might take to counter the effect of that interest rate movement. Because of the low level of market interest rates, these analyses are not performed for decreases of more than 200 basis points.

The following table, which is based on information that we provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, presents the change in our net portfolio value at December 31, 2008 that would occur in the event of an immediate change in interest rates based on Office of Thrift Supervision assumptions, with no effect given to any steps that we might take to counteract that change.

The Office of Thrift Supervision uses various assumptions in assessing interest rate risk. These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates and the market values of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios, among others. As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the methods of analyses presented in the foregoing tables. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to 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 may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, have features that 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, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Prepayment rates can have a significant impact on interest income. Because of the large percentage of loans and mortgage-backed securities we hold, rising or falling interest rates have a significant impact on the prepayment speeds of our earning assets that in turn affect the rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayments tend to slow. When interest rates fall, prepayments tend to rise. Our asset sensitivity would be reduced if prepayments slow and vice versa. While we believe these assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates will approximate actual future mortgage-backed security and loan repayment activity.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
The Companys management, including the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the Exchange Act). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the quarterly period ended December 31, 2008, there were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting which materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
Periodically, there have been various claims and lawsuits against us, such as claims to enforce liens and contracts, condemnation proceedings on properties in which we hold security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other issues incident to our business. We are not party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A.
