Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2008

 

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with BV Financial Inc.’s (the “Company” or “BV Financial”) Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2007.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2007 and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008 include the accounts of the Company, Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Housing Recovery Corporation. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

(2) (Loss) Earnings Per Share

Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the appropriate period. Unearned shares under the Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) are not included in outstanding shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding as adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options and unvested stock awards based on the “treasury stock” method. The dilutive effect of stock options and unvested stock awards are not considered in the computation of diluted loss per share as such instruments would be anti-dilutive. Information related to the calculation of (loss) earnings per share is summarized for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended March 31,    Nine Months Ended March 31,

(3) Branch Acquisition

On August 24, 2007, the Bank acquired a branch office located at 8070 Ritchie Highway in Pasadena, Maryland from Greater Atlantic Bank. The Bank paid a premium of $4.4 million on the net liabilities, primarily deposits, assumed at closing. The premium primarily constitutes goodwill, which will not be amortized and a core deposit intangible of $506,000, which is being amortized over seven years. At the time of closing, the branch office had $51.5 million in deposits.

 

(4) Equity Incentive Plan

On November 8, 2005, stockholders approved the BV Financial, Inc. 2005 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) that enabled the Company to grant stock options and restricted stock awards to employees and directors. On November 14, 2005, the Company granted stock options covering 111,456 shares of common stock to certain employees and directors of the Company. The options were granted at the then fair market value of the stock of $8.94, vest over five years and expire ten years from the date of grant. In addition, the Company awarded 44,577 shares of restricted stock to certain employees and directors. The restricted stock vests over five years.

The Compensation cost charged against income for the Plan was $31,000 and $104,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, respectively, and $39,000 and $140,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized was $8,000 and $31,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, respectively, and $10,000 and $33,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, respectively.

At March 31, 2008, there was $279,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years.

 

(5) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This Interpretation requires that companies recognize in their financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on July 1, 2007 and determined that upon adoption, it had no impact on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB Statement No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The company has evaluated FASB Statement No. 157 and determined that it will not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” that permits a one-year deferral in applying the measurement provisions of Statement No. 157 to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities (non-financial items) that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entity’s financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Therefore, if the change in fair value of a non-financial item is not required to be recognized

Table of Contents

or disclosed in the financial statements on an annual basis or more frequently, the effective date of application of Statement 157 to that item is deferred until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of FSP 157-2 will have on the Company’s operating income or net earnings.

In September 2006, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“EITF 06-4”). EITF 06-4 requires the recognition of a liability related to the postretirement benefits covered by an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement. The consensus highlights that the employer (who is also the policyholder) has a liability for the benefit it is providing to its employee. As such, if the policyholder has agreed to maintain the insurance policy in force for the employee’s benefit during his or her retirement, then the liability recognized during the employee’s active service period should be based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee’s retirement. Alternatively, if the policy holder has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the guidance in SFAS No. 106 or Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 12, as appropriate. For transition, an entity can choose to apply the guidance using either of the following approaches: (a) a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods presented or (b) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance in retained earnings at the beginning of the year of adoption. Implementation is required in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted EITF 06-4 during the current quarter by a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance in retained earnings of $221,544. In addition, the Company estimates that the adoption of EITF 06-4 will result in an additional annual expense of approximately $60,000.

In February 2007, the 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. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company July 1, 2008. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

FASB Statement No. 141(R) “Business Combinations” was issued in December 2007. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The Statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company believes that this new pronouncement will impact acquisitions made after July 1, 2009.

FASB Statement No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” was issued in December 2007. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective as of the beginning of a company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company believes that this new pronouncement will have an immaterial impact on the Company’s financial statements in future periods.

Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”) amends and replaces Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14, Share-Based Payment,” of the Staff Accounting Bulletin series. Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14 expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of the “simplified” method in developing an estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share options and allows usage of the “simplified” method for share option grants prior to December 31, 2007. SAB 110 allows public companies which do not have historically sufficient experience to provide a reasonable estimate to continue use of the “simplified” method for estimating the expected term of “plain vanilla” share option grants after December 31, 2007. SAB 110 was effective January 1, 2008 and did not have an impact as no grants have been made in 2008.

In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-11, “Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards” (“EITF 06-11”). EITF 06-11 states that an entity should recognize a realized tax benefit associated with dividends on nonvested equity shares, nonvested equity share units and outstanding equity share options charged to retained earnings as an increase in additional paid in capital. The amount recognized in additional paid in capital should be included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb potential future tax deficiencies on share-based payment awards. EITF 06-11 should be applied prospectively to income tax benefits of dividends on equity-classified share-based payment awards that are declared in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company expects that EITF 06-11 will not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

General

BV Financial was organized as a federally chartered corporation at the direction of Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank” or “Bay-Vanguard Federal”) in January 2005 to become the mid-tier stock holding company for Bay-Vanguard Federal upon the completion of its reorganization into the mutual holding company form of organization. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Bank converted to stock form with all of its stock owned by BV Financial and organized Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. as a federally chartered mutual holding company that owns a majority of the common stock of BV Financial.

Bay-Vanguard Federal is headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland and is a community-oriented financial institution offering traditional financial services to its local communities. The Bank is engaged primarily in the business of attracting deposits from the general public using such funds to originate one-to four-family real estate, mobile home, construction, multi-family and commercial real estate and consumer loans.

The Bank’s savings accounts are insured up to the applicable legal limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Bay-Vanguard Federal is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company considers accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities or income and expense to be critical accounting policies. The Company considers the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to income. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Among the material estimates required to establish the allowance are: loss exposure at default; the amount and timing of future cash flows on impaired loans; the value of collateral; and the determination of loss factors to be applied to the various elements of the portfolio. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. However, historically, the Company’s estimates and assumptions have provided results that did not differ materially from actual results.

Management reviews the level of the allowance on a quarterly basis, at a minimum, and establishes the provision for loan losses based on an evaluation of the portfolio, past loss experience, economic conditions and business conditions affecting its primary market area, credit quality trends, collateral value, loan volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, the duration of the current business cycle, bank regulatory examination results and other factors related to the collectibility of the loan portfolio. Although the Company believes that it uses the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary if certain future events occur that cause actual results to differ from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. For example, a downturn in the local economy could cause increases in nonperforming loans. Additionally, a decline in real estate values could cause some of the Company’s loans to become inadequately collateralized. In either case, this may require the Company to increase its provisions for loan losses, which would negatively impact earnings. See “Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 Provisions for Loan Losses” for a description of the increase in the provision for loan losses during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Further, the Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews the Company’s allowance for loan losses.

Table of Contents

Such agency may require the Company to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its examination. An increase to the allowance required to be made by the Office of Thrift Supervision would negatively impact the Company’s earnings. Additionally, a large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect earnings.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2007

Total assets increased $30.1 million, or 22.5%, to $164.1 million at March 31, 2008 from $134.0 million at June 30, 2007 primarily due to the proceeds from the acquisition of a branch office from Greater Atlantic Bank on August 24, 2007. At the time of the closing, the branch office had $51.5 million in deposits.

Loans receivable increased $5.6 million, or 4.8%, to $121.6 million at March 31, 2008 from $116.0 million at June 30, 2007, primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in residential real estate loans, a $1.4 million increase in land loans and a $2.4 million increase in non-residential and commercial loans. Non-residential loans increased due to the Bank’s focus on shorter-term higher-rate loan products. Residential loans increased due to competitive rates and marketing efforts in our local communities. The change in loan composition also reflected a reclassification of a $1.9 million commercial line of credit loan to a land development loan.

Securities increased $14.6 million, or 244.9%, from $6.0 million at June 30, 2007 primarily due to the purchase of $6.0 million in medium-term Federal Home Loan Bank notes, $8.3 million in mortgage-backed securities, $2.0 million in agency notes and a $1.0 million Federal Farm Credit Bank note, offset by the maturity of a $500,000 Fannie Mae note and the call of $2.0 million in agency notes.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $5.5 million, or 99.6%, from $5.6 million at June 30, 2007 to $11.1 million at March 31, 2008, due to the receipt of funds in connection with the branch acquisition.

Deposits increased $38.6 million, or 39.2%, to $137.1 million at March 31, 2008, primarily due to the branch acquisition. The increase in deposits was offset primarily by a $7.2 million reduction in certificates of deposit and a $1.6 million reduction in savings accounts as the Bank continued its efforts to reduce the cost of funds by reducing the rates paid on deposits. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $6.0 million, or 44.4%, to $7.5 million at March 31, 2008 as funds from the branch acquisition were used to pay down borrowings.

Total equity decreased $1.4 million, or 7.5%, to $16.8 million at March 31, 2008 primarily as a result of the repurchase of 125,981 shares of BV Financial stock at an average price of $8.05, the payment of dividends and by the net loss for the period.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007

General. Net income decreased $136,000, or 618.2%, to a loss of $114,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to a $118,000 increase in the provision for loan losses, a $191,000 increase in non-interest expenses, offset by a $44,000 increase in net interest income and a $125,000 decrease in the provision for income taxes.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $44,000, or 5.3%, compared to the same period last year, as a result of an increase in federal funds sold and investment securities due to the proceeds from the branch acquisition and a decrease in interest expense due to a decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advances offset by a larger average balance of interest-bearing deposits. Total interest income increased as a result of the growth in average interest-earning assets to $151.4 million from $125.5 million. The growth in average interest-earning assets was mainly due to an increase in federal funds sold and investment securities, attributable to the assumption of deposits in the branch acquisition. Total interest expense increased as a result of an increase in the average balance of deposits to $130.7 million, compared to average deposits of $99.3 million in 2007. Interest expense on deposits increased due principally to a higher average balance of deposits.

The provision for loan losses increased from zero for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $118,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in the provision for loan losses in part reflects deterioration in a $1.0 million construction loan in which payment by the borrower was conditioned on the sale of the completed properties. While the borrower is current on his payments, the inability of the borrower to successfully sell the properties in the foreseeable future has caused the loan to be downgraded and the additional reserve to be recognized. Additionally, as noted below, the increased provision is responsive to an increase in nonperforming assets. Charge-offs consisted of $4,000 on a mobile home loan and $11,000 on a boat loan.

The following table provides information with respect to our nonperforming assets at the dates indicated. The Company did not have any accruing loans past due 90 days or more or foreclosed real estate at the dates presented.

$148.4 million from $125.3 million. The growth in average interest-earning assets was mainly due to an increase in federal funds sold and investment securities, attributable to the assumption of deposits in the branch acquisition, and, to a lesser extent, loan growth.

Total interest expense increased as a result of an increase in the average balance of deposits to $129.9 million, compared to average deposits of $97.6 million in 2007.

The provision for loan losses increased from $5,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 to $162,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in the provision for loan losses reflects deterioration in a $1.0 million construction loan in which payment by the borrower was conditioned on the sale of the completed properties. While the borrower is current on his payments, the inability of the borrower to successfully sell the properties in the foreseeable future has caused the loan to be downgraded and the additional reserve to be recognized.

The increase in noninterest income was due to increases in debit and ATM card income, offset by a decrease in the return on the life insurance investment due to lower performance of the life insurance policies which may be attributed to the lower interest rate environment.

Total non-interest expenses increased $385,000, or 14.7%, primarily as a result of increases in compensation and related expenses, occupancy, and data processing expenses. Occupancy expenses increased primarily due to increase in rental expense related to the new branch. Other expenses increased $54,000, or 16.0%, as a result of the amortization of the core deposit premium which resulted from the branch acquisition and totaled $80,000, offset by a decrease in debit card expense due to start up costs in 2007 and the settlement costs of a lawsuit in 2007. Advertising increased as the Company increased its loan product promotions. Data processing costs increased due to additional charges related to the branch acquisition.

Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes decreased $146,000, or 503.5%, from $29,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 to a benefit of $117,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The effective tax rate was 45.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 43.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities and sales of investment securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalents totaled $11.1 million, including interest-bearing deposits of $395,000. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $9.4 million at March 31, 2008. In addition, at March 31, 2008, we had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $49.2 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. On that date, we had advances outstanding of $7.5 million.

At March 31, 2008, we had $776,000 in loan commitments outstanding, which included $439,000 in commitments to purchase and originate mobile home loans. In addition to commitments to originate loans, we had $2.0 million in unused lines of credit and $2.4 million of construction loans in process. Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2008 totaled $37.5 million, or 27.3% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and lines of credit. 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 March 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 of loans and the purchase of securities. Our primary financing activities consist of activity in deposit accounts. 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 deposits. Occasionally, we offer promotional rates on certain deposit products to attract deposits.

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of Thrift Supervision, including risk-based capital measures. 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 March 31, 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 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 and lines of credit described in the liquidity and capital resources section.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and the year ended June 30, 2007, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
