INDEX
i
This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal
securities laws that are based on assumptions and may describe future plans, strategies and expectations of BV Financial, Inc. (the Company or BV Financial), Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. and Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank
(Bay-Vanguard Federal). These forward-looking statements are generally identified by terms such as expects, believes, anticipates, intends, estimates, projects and
similar expressions.
Managements ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently
uncertain. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on the operations of BV Financial and its subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, the following: interest rate trends; the general economic climate in the market area in which we
operate, as well as nationwide; our ability to control costs and expenses; competitive products and pricing; loan delinquency rates and changes in federal and state legislation and regulation. Additional factors that may affect our results are
discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K under Item 1ARisk Factors. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. BV
Financial does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions, which may be made to any forward-looking statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
PART I
General
BV Financial is a federally-chartered savings and loan holding company established in January 2005 to be the holding company for Bay-Vanguard Federal, a
federally-chartered savings bank. BV Financials business activity is the ownership of the outstanding capital stock of Bay-Vanguard Federal. BV Financial does not own or lease any property but instead uses the premises, equipment and other
property of Bay-Vanguard Federal. In the future, BV Financial may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries; however, there are no current plans, arrangements, agreements or understandings, written or oral, to do so.
Bay-Vanguard Federal is the product of an April 1, 1996 merger of Bay Federal Savings and Loan Association and Vanguard Federal Savings and Loan
Association. Bay Federal Savings and Loan Association was incorporated in 1873 as a Maryland-chartered savings and loan association operating under the name Light Street Savings and Building Association of Baltimore City, later converting to a
federal charter. Bay Federal Savings and Loan Association had three full-service banking offices at the time of the merger. Vanguard Federal Savings and Loan Association was incorporated in 1959 as a Maryland-chartered savings and loan association
operating under the name Vanguard Savings and Loan Association. Vanguard Savings and Loan Association converted to a federal charter in 1987. Vanguard Federal Savings and Loan Association had one full-service banking office at the time of the
merger.
We operate as a community-oriented financial institution offering traditional financial services to consumers and businesses in
our market area. We attract deposits from the general public and use those funds to originate one- to four-family real estate, mobile home, construction, multi-family, commercial real estate, and consumer loans, which we hold for investment.
Our website address is www.bayvanguard.com. Information on our website should not be considered a part of this annual report.
Market Area
We are headquartered in Baltimore
County, Maryland. In addition to our main office, we operate two branch offices in Baltimore City and two branch offices in Anne Arundel County, one of which we acquired in August 2007 from Greater Atlantic Bank. We consider Baltimore City,
Baltimore County and Anne Arundel County to be our primary market area. The economy of our market area reflects a diverse cross-section of employment sectors. According to published statistics in 2000, the economies of Baltimore City and Baltimore
County are
primarily geared toward the service, trade, government, financial services and manufacturing sectors. The economy of Anne Arundel County is also geared
toward those sectors. However, because of the Fort Meade Installation and the state government in Annapolis, Anne Arundel County has a stronger concentration of government employees. Additionally, Baltimore and Anne Arundel Counties reported a
higher level of construction employment than Baltimore City, reflecting the level of growth in those counties. According to the United States Census Bureau, the population of Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Anne Arundel County in 2007 was
estimated to be approximately 637,000, 789,000 and 512,000, respectively. The economy of our market area is strongest in suburban Anne Arundel County, which has experienced higher growth rates in population and households while maintaining low
unemployment rates. Baltimore City, on the other hand, has seen its population and households decrease, which is reflective of the urban shift to suburban markets for job opportunities. Baltimore City also has a higher concentration of blue collar
workers, lower per capita income levels and a higher level of unemployment than the state or national averages.
Competition
We face significant competition for the attraction of deposits and origination of loans. Our most
direct competition for deposits has historically come from the several financial institutions operating in our market area and, to a lesser extent, from other financial service companies such as brokerage firms, credit unions and insurance
companies. We also face competition for investors funds from money market funds, mutual funds and other corporate and government securities. At June 30, 2007, which is the most recent date for which data is available from the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, we held approximately 0.22% of the deposits in the Baltimore-Towson, Maryland Metropolitan Statistical Area, which was the 55
th
largest market share out of the 84 financial institutions with offices in this metropolitan statistical area. In addition, banks owned by large bank holding companies such as Bank of America Corporation, Wachovia Corporation, SunTrust
Banks, Inc. and M&T Bank Corporation also operate in our market area. These institutions are much larger than us and, therefore, have significantly greater resources that allow them to offer a wider variety of products and services.
Our competition for loans comes primarily from financial institutions in our market area, and, to a lesser extent, from other financial service
providers such as mortgage companies and mortgage brokers. Competition for loans also comes from the increasing number of non-depository financial service companies entering the mortgage market such as insurance companies, securities companies and
specialty finance companies.
We expect competition to increase in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological
changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. Technological advances, for example, have lowered the barriers to market entry, allowed banks to expand their geographic reach by providing services over the
Internet and made it possible for non-depository institutions to offer products and services that traditionally have been provided by banks. Changes in federal law permit affiliation among banks, securities firms and insurance companies, which
promotes a competitive environment in the financial services industry. Competition for deposits and the origination of loans could limit our future growth.
Lending Activities
General.
Our loan portfolio consists primarily of one- to four-family residential real
estate loans. To a much lesser extent, our loan portfolio includes mobile home loans, construction loans, multi-family, commercial real estate loans, and consumer loans. Bay-Vanguard Federal historically originated and currently originates loans
only for investment purposes. At June 30, 2008, Bay-Vanguard Federal had no loans that were held for sale.
One- to Four-Family
Residential Real Estate Loans
.
Our primary lending activity is the origination of mortgage loans to enable borrowers to purchase or refinance existing homes in our market area. We only offer fixed- and adjustable- rate mortgage loans
and primarily with terms of 15, 20 or 30 years. We offer adjustable-rate mortgage loans with interest rates and payments that adjust annually or every three years. Interest rates and payments on our adjustable-rate loans generally are adjusted to a
rate equal to a percentage above the one year U.S. Treasury index. The maximum amount by which the interest rate may be increased or decreased is generally 200 basis points per adjustment period and the lifetime interest rate cap is generally 600
basis points over the initial interest rate of the loan. The loan fees charged, interest rates and other provisions of mortgage loans are determined by us on the basis of our own pricing criteria and competitive market conditions.
2
Borrower demand for adjustable-rate loans compared to fixed-rate loans is a function of the level of
interest rates, the expectations of changes in the level of interest rates, and the difference between the interest rates and loan fees offered for fixed-rate mortgage loans as compared to the interest rates and loan fees for adjustable-rate loans.
The relative amount of fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgage loans that can be originated at any time is largely determined by the demand for each in a competitive environment.
While one- to four-family residential real estate loans are normally originated with up to 30-year terms, such loans typically remain outstanding for
substantially shorter periods because borrowers often prepay their loans in full upon sale of the property pledged as security or upon refinancing the original loan. Therefore, average loan maturity is a function of, among other factors, the level
of purchase and sale activity in the real estate market, prevailing interest rates and the interest rates payable on outstanding loans.
We
generally make loans with loan-to-value ratios that do not exceed 80%; however, we may make loans with a loan-to-value ratio up to 97% when secured by first liens on owner-occupied one- to four-family residences. Loans with loan-to-value ratios in
excess of 80% generally require private mortgage insurance or additional collateral. We require all properties securing mortgage loans to be appraised by a board-approved independent licensed appraiser. We also require title insurance on all first
mortgage loans. Borrowers must obtain hazard insurance and flood insurance for loans on property located in a flood zone before closing the loan.
We originate second mortgage loans on one- to four-family residential real estate properties under the same underwriting criteria utilized for our originations of one- to four-family real estate loans. We make second mortgage loans with a
maximum loan-to-value ratio of 80% of the appraised value of the property, less the outstanding balance of the first mortgage.
We also
originate home equity loans and lines of credit. Home equity lines of credit have adjustable rates of interest that are indexed to the prime rate as reported in
The Wall Street Journal
. Home equity loans are fixed-rate loans. We will
generally offer home equity loans and lines of credit with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 80% of the appraised value of the property, less the then outstanding balance on the first mortgage. A home equity line of credit may be drawn down by the
borrower for an initial period of ten years from the date of the loan agreement. After the initial draw period, the line of credit is reviewed and may, at our sole discretion, be renewed for another ten-year period. If the line is not renewed, the
amount outstanding must be repaid over the remaining fifteen-year term.
Mobile Home Loans.
We originate mobile home loans
directly and purchase mobile home loans from Forward National, the successor of Forward Financial Company, and Mainland Financial, which specialize in mobile home lending. At June 30, 2008, 14.0% of our mobile home portfolio was originated by
us directly and 75.4% and 10.6% was purchased from Forward National and Mainland Financial, respectively. Our mobile home loans, which are made primarily to borrowers in Maryland and Pennsylvania, have terms of up to 25 years and fixed interest
rates. We generally will finance up to a maximum of 90% of the value of the mobile home. We require that the borrower obtain hazard insurance. At June 30, 2008, we had 349 mobile homes loans, the average size of which was approximately $33,800.
In April 2000, we began purchasing mobile home loans from Forward National. Forward National assembles credit applications from third
parties and provides such applications for our underwriting review. We then have the opportunity to accept or reject the loan contemplated by each credit application. If we agree to purchase a loan, we must notify Forward National of the minimum
rate of interest we will accept on the loan. Forward National will then seek to originate the loan with the third party at an interest rate exceeding the interest rate agreed to by us. Once Forward National provides us with the original executed
loan, we then purchase the loan from Forward National. Forward National assigns to us its right, title and interest in the loan, its collateral and all payments under the loan.
While we service the mobile home loans we purchase from Forward National, subject to our direction, Forward National handles all delinquencies and
collections on the loans at its expense. Forward National is advanced funds equal to the amount by which the interest rate on a loan we ultimately purchase exceeds the interest rate we prescribed to Forward National. Forward National is then
required to place half of that amount in a deposit account with us. This amount is recorded as a deposit on our financial statements. Additionally, the entire amount
3
we compensate Forward National is recorded as prepaid dealer interest, which is included in the loan balance and amortized in the same manner as deferred
loan origination fees. If a loan amortizes fully and the borrower pays as agreed, Forward National receives all of the funds related to that loan in the deposit account. However, if the mobile home is repossessed or prepaid, the amount of interest
on such loan that otherwise would have been paid by the borrower and that has been previously advanced to Forward National by us is returned to us by Forward National. The deposit account is used to fund (1) any costs of collections incurred on
the loans we purchased from Forward National and (2) losses related to repossessions of these mobile home units. Any debits to this account are recorded as a deposit withdrawal on our financial statements. Forward National has no right to make
withdrawals from the deposit account. Thus, we may accrue excess balances and apply them against any future charges we incur related to Forward National collections and repossessions.
In February 2007, we began purchasing mobile home loans from Mainland Financial under the same terms and conditions as our agreement with Forward
National with the exception of how delinquencies are handled. Delinquencies and collections are handled by us at our expense with the assistance of Mainland Financial. However, the deposit account is used to fund losses related to repossessions of
these mobile home units.
The following table presents the activity and dollar amounts available to fund losses related to repossessions in
the Forward National and Mainland Financial deposit account during the periods indicated.

Construction Loans
.
We originate loans to individuals and, to a lesser
extent, builders to finance the construction of residential dwellings. We also make construction loans for commercial development projects, including condominiums, apartment buildings, mixed-use properties with residential units, as well as retail
space and owner-occupied properties used for business. Our construction loans generally provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase, which is usually 12 months. At the end of the construction period, the loan generally
converts into a permanent loan. With regard to construction loans that do not convert into permanent financing, the borrower is required to provide evidence of permanent financing by a qualified third party upon completion of the construction. Loans
generally can be made with a loan-to-value ratio of up to 80% of the completed project. Before making a commitment to fund a construction loan, we require an appraisal of the property by a board-approved independent licensed appraiser. We also
require an inspection of the property before disbursement of the funds during the term of the construction.
At June 30, 2008, the
largest residential construction loan commitment was for $1.2 million, all of which was outstanding. At June 30, 2008, this loan was classified as substandard and was on non-accrual status. The loan was for the construction of four town homes
in Baltimore City. These were speculative properties that the borrowers intended to sell upon completion. The borrowers have not been able to sell the properties due to the deterioration of the real estate market in the Baltimore Metropolitan area.
Two of the town homes are completed and rented. The remaining two properties are substantially complete and will be rented upon completion. Each of the two borrowers will refinance two of the properties with the Bank. The interest rates on the loans
will adjust annually after an initial two-year fixed rate period and have 25-year amortizations. Rental income will not cover the monthly payment on the loans. Thus, the borrowers will make up the difference out of their personal cash flows. The
loan to value on the loans will be approximately 75%, based on current valuations.
At June 30, 2008, the largest commercial
construction loan commitment was for $1.8 million, $1.4 million of which was outstanding. This loan was performing according to its terms at June 30, 2008.
4
We also originate land loans primarily to individuals to acquire land upon which they intend to build a
residence. Land loans are offered with a five-year term based on an amortization term of 15 years. A balloon payment for the principal plus any accrued interest is due at the end of the five-year period. Additionally, we offer fixed-rate
fully-amortized land loans with terms of 15 years. Land loans generally can be made with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 75%.
Multi-Family and Commercial Real Estate Loans
.
We offer fixed rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate. Our multi-family and commercial real estate loans are generally
secured by condominiums, apartment buildings and mixed-use properties with residential units, as well as retail space. We intend to grow this segment of our loan portfolio.
We originate multi-family and commercial real estate loans for terms up to 25 years. Interest rates and payments on our adjustable-rate loans adjust
every three, five or seven years after an initial three-, five- or seven- year period to a rate typically equal to 3-3.5% above the three-, five- or seven-year constant maturity Treasury index. There are no adjustment period or lifetime interest
rate caps. Loan amounts generally do not exceed 75% of the appraised value. We require all properties securing multi-family and commercial real estate loans to be appraised by a board-approved independent licensed appraiser. Multi-family and
commercial real estate loans also are generally supported by personal guarantees. At June 30, 2008, the largest multi-family and commercial real estate loan was a $1.9 million loan. This loan is secured by a restaurant located in Baltimore,
Maryland and was performing according to its terms at June 30, 2008.
Other Consumer Loans
.
Our consumer loans
are primarily loans secured by passbook or certificate accounts, automobile and boat loans and secured personal loans. The procedures for underwriting consumer loans include an assessment of the applicants payment history on other debts and
ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although the applicants creditworthiness is a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the collateral, if any, to the
proposed loan amount.
Loan Underwriting Risks.
While we anticipate that adjustable-rate loans will better offset the adverse
effects of an increase in interest rates as compared to fixed-rate mortgages, the increased mortgage payments required of adjustable-rate loan borrowers in a rising interest rate environment could cause an increase in delinquencies and defaults. The
marketability of the underlying property also may be adversely affected in a high interest rate environment. In addition, although adjustable-rate mortgage loans help make our loan portfolio more responsive to changes in interest rates, the extent
of this interest sensitivity is limited by the annual and lifetime interest rate adjustment limits.
Mobile home lending generally entails
greater risk than traditional residential mortgage lending. Loans secured by mobile homes involve more credit risk than mortgage loans because of the type and nature of the collateral, which depreciates over time, and because mobile home borrowers,
on average, tend to have lower incomes than our residential mortgage borrowers. In many cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted mobile home loan will not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance because of
depreciation or improper repair and maintenance of the underlying security. Our arrangement with Forward National and Mainland Financial substantially mitigates the risks normally associated with mobile home lending. However, if Forward National or
Mainland Financial ceases doing business or terminates their arrangement with us, we would likely need to hire additional staff to service our mobile home loan portfolio.
Construction financing is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the
accuracy of the initial estimate of the propertys value at completion of construction and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction. During the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and cost overruns. If
the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the building. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted, at
or before the maturity of the loan, with a building having a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment. If we are forced to foreclose on a building before or at completion due to a default, there can be no assurance that we will be able to
recover all of the unpaid balance of, and accrued interest on, the loan as well as related foreclosure and holding costs. In addition, we make loans to home builders who, at the time of loan origination, have not yet secured an end buyer for the
home under construction. These loans typically carry higher
5
risks than those associated with traditional construction loans. These increased risks arise because of the risk that there will be inadequate demand to
ensure the sale of the property within an acceptable time. As a result, in addition to the risks associated with traditional construction loans, speculative construction loans carry the added risk that the builder will have to pay the property taxes
and other carrying costs of the property until an end buyer is found.
Loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate generally
have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential real estate loans. Of primary concern in multi-family and commercial real estate lending is the borrowers creditworthiness and the feasibility and
cash flow potential of the project. Payments on loans secured by income properties often depend on the successful operation and management of the properties. As a result, repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real
estate market or the economy to a greater extent than residential real estate loans. To monitor cash flows on income properties, we require borrowers and loan guarantors, if any, to provide annual financial statements on multi-family and commercial
real estate loans. In reaching a decision on whether to make a multi-family or commercial real estate loan, we consider the net operating income of the property, the borrowers expertise, credit history and profitability and the value of the
underlying property. In addition, with respect to commercial real estate rental properties, we will also consider the term of the lease and the credit quality of the tenants. We have generally required that the properties securing these real estate
loans have debt service coverage ratios (the ratio of earnings before debt service to debt service) of at least 1.2x.
Consumer loans may
entail greater risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are secured by assets that depreciate rapidly. In such cases, repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate
source of repayment for the outstanding loan and the remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In addition, consumer loan collections depend on the borrowers continuing financial
stability, and therefore are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may
limit the amount that can be recovered on such loans.
Loan Originations, Purchases and Sales
.
Loan originations come
from a number of sources. The primary sources of loan originations include existing customers, our in-house loan originators, advertising, referrals from customers and personal contacts by our staff. We currently utilize local mortgage brokers to
assist with loan originations. We generally retain all of the loans that we originate for our portfolio; however, we will sell participation interests to local financial institutions, primarily on the portion of loans that exceed our borrowing
limits. In fiscal 2008, we sold $890,000 participation interests. We did not sell participation interests in fiscal 2007.
Since April
2000, we have purchased mobile home loans from Forward National. Since February 2007, we have purchased mobile homes from Mainland Financial. We underwrite these loans. Forward National and Mainland Financial then close the loans and immediately
assign them to us. We purchased $660,000 and $884,000 of mobile home loans from Forward National in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, respectively. We purchased $869,000 and $128,000 of mobile home loans from Mainland Financial in fiscal 2008 and 2007.
From time to time, we purchase participation interests, primarily commercial real estate loans. At June 30, 2008 and 2007, we had
approximately $7.1 million and $6.0 million of purchased participation loans, respectively. We perform our own underwriting analysis on each of our participation interests before purchasing such loans and therefore believe there is no greater risk
of default on these obligations. However, in a purchased participation loan, we do not service the loan and thus are subject to the policies and practices of the lead lender with regard to monitoring delinquencies, pursuing collections and
instituting foreclosure proceedings. We are permitted to review all of the documentation relating to any loan in which we participate, including any annual financial statements provided by a borrower. Additionally, we receive periodic updates on the
loan from the lead lender.
Loan Approval Procedures and Authority
.
In our lending activities, we follow written,
non-discriminatory, underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by our board of directors and management. Loans up to $500,000 require the approval of two of five members of an employee loan committee, consisting of the
President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman and Chief Financial Officer and three Senior Vice Presidents. Loans up to $750,000 require the approval of three of the members of the employee loan committee. All extensions of credit that exceed
$750,000 in the aggregate require the approval of either the Executive Committee of the board of directors or the full board of directors.
6
Loans to One Borrower
.
The maximum amount that we may lend to one borrower and the
borrowers related entities is limited by regulation to generally 15% of our unimpaired capital and surplus. At June 30, 2008, our regulatory limit on loans to one borrower was $1.4 million. At that date, our largest lending relationship
was a $1.9 million loan secured by a restaurant in Baltimore, Maryland originated in 2006. That loan was performing according to its original terms at June 30, 2008. The limit on loans to one borrower decreased by $600,000 from the
June 30, 2007 limit due primarily to intangible assets acquired in the purchase of our Pasadena branch. The reduced limit applies to new loan originations made after August 2007.
Loan Commitments
.
We issue commitments for fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans conditioned upon the occurrence of certain
events. Commitments to originate mortgage loans are legally binding agreements to lend to our customers and generally expire in 60 days.
Investment
Activities
We have legal authority to invest in various types of liquid assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of
various federal agencies and municipal governments, deposits at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and certificates of deposit of federally insured institutions. Within certain regulatory limits, we also may invest a portion of our assets in
mutual funds. We also are required to maintain an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta stock. While we have the authority under applicable law to invest in derivative securities, our investment policy does not permit this investment. We
had no investments in derivative securities at June 30, 2008.
At June 30, 2008, our investment portfolio totaled $18.6 million
and consisted primarily of U.S. Treasury obligations and federal agency securities, mortgage-backed securities issued primarily by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, and a mutual fund that invests in adjustable-rate mortgages.
Our investment objectives are to provide and maintain liquidity, to establish an acceptable level of interest rate and credit risk, to provide an
alternate source of low-risk investments when demand for loans is weak and to generate a favorable return. Our board of directors has the overall responsibility for the investment portfolio, including approval of our investment policy. The board of
directors is also responsible for the implementation of the investment policy and monitoring our investment performance. Individual investment transactions, portfolio composition and performance are reviewed and ratified by our board of directors
monthly.
Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds
General
.
Deposits and loan repayments are the major sources of our funds for lending and other investment purposes. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows
and outflows and loan prepayments are significantly influenced by general interest rates and money market conditions.
Deposit
Accounts
.
Substantially all of our depositors are residents of the State of Maryland. Deposits are attracted from within our market area through the offering of a broad selection of deposit instruments, including checking accounts,
NOW and money market accounts, passbook and savings accounts and certificates of deposit. Additionally, our customers may use any M&T Bank ATM without a surcharge. At June 30, 2008, core deposits, which consist of savings, NOW and money
market accounts, comprised 55.5% of our deposits. We do not utilize brokered funds. Deposit account terms vary according to the minimum balance required, the time periods the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate, among other factors.
In determining the terms of our deposit accounts, we consider the rates offered by our competition, our liquidity needs, profitability to us, matching deposit and loan products and customer preferences and concerns. We generally review our deposit
mix and pricing monthly. We use our money market account as a primary source of liquidity. Consequently, when we require additional liquidity we will offer the highest rates in our market area. When we do not require liquidity, our money market
account rates are competitive. With regard to other deposit products, our current strategy is to offer competitive rates, and even higher rates on checking accounts, but not to be the market leader in every type and maturity.
Borrowings
.
We utilize advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta to supplement our supply of lendable funds and to meet
deposit withdrawal requirements. The Federal Home Loan Bank functions as a central reserve bank providing credit for member financial institutions. As a member, we are required to own capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank and are authorized to
apply for advances on the security of such stock and certain of
7
our mortgage loans and other assets (principally securities which are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States), provided certain standards
related to creditworthiness have been met. Under its current credit policies, the Federal Home Loan Bank generally limits advances to 25% of a members assets and short-term borrowings of less than one year may not exceed 10% of the
institutions assets. The Federal Home Loan Bank determines specific lines of credit for each member institution. At June 30, 2008, we had the ability to borrow an additional $32.5 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.
Additionally, at June 30, 2008, the Bank had a $2.0 million unsecured demand line of credit facility with M&T Bank, which had no outstanding balance.
Personnel
As of June 30, 2008, we had 35 full-time employees and three part-time employees, none of whom is
represented by a collective bargaining unit. We believe our relationship with our employees is good.
Subsidiaries
BV Financials only direct subsidiary is Bay-Vanguard Federal.
Bay-Vanguard Federal has one subsidiary. Housing Recovery Corporation holds real estate and other assets acquired through foreclosure or repossession by Bay-Vanguard Federal.
Regulation and Supervision
General
As a federal mutual holding company, Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. is required by federal law to report to, and otherwise comply with the rules and regulations
of, the Office of Thrift Supervision. BV Financial, Inc. as a federally chartered corporation, is also subject to reporting to and regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Bay-Vanguard Federal is subject to extensive regulation, examination
and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision, as its primary federal regulator, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as the deposit insurer. Bay-Vanguard Federal is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System and, with respect to
deposit insurance, of the Deposit Insurance Fund managed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Bay-Vanguard Federal must file reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation concerning its
activities and financial condition in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into certain transactions such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other savings institutions. The Office of Thrift Supervision and/or the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation conduct periodic examinations to test Bay-Vanguard Federals safety and soundness and compliance with various regulatory requirements.
This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors. The regulatory
structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of
adequate loan loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such regulatory requirements and policies, whether by the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on
Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C., BV Financial, Inc., Bay-Vanguard Federal and their operations. Certain regulatory requirements applicable to Bay-Vanguard Federal and to Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. are referred to below or elsewhere herein. The description of
statutory provisions and regulations applicable to savings institutions and their holding companies set forth below and elsewhere in this document does not purport to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on
Bay-Vanguard Federal and Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual statutes and regulations.
8
Holding Company Regulation
General
. Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. is a federal savings and loan holding company within the meaning of federal law. As such, Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. is registered with the Office of Thrift Supervision and is
subject to Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, examinations, supervision and reporting requirements. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision has enforcement authority over Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. and its non-savings institution
subsidiaries. Among other things, this authority permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings institution.
Activities Restrictions Applicable to Mutual Holding Companies
.
Pursuant to federal law and Office of Thrift Supervision
regulations, a mutual holding company such as Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C., with appropriate OTS approvals, may engage in the following activities: (1) investing in the stock of a savings association; (2) acquiring a mutual association through the
merger of such association into a savings association subsidiary of such holding company or an interim savings association subsidiary of such holding company; (3) merging with or acquiring another holding company, one of whose subsidiaries is a
savings association; (4) investing in a corporation, the capital stock of which is available for purchase by a savings association under federal law or under the law of any state where the subsidiary savings association or associations share
their home offices; (5) furnishing or performing management services for a savings association subsidiary of such company; (6) holding, managing or liquidating assets owned or acquired from a savings subsidiary of such company;
(7) holding or managing properties used or occupied by a savings association subsidiary of such company properties used or occupied by a savings association subsidiary of such company; (8) acting as trustee under deeds of trust;
(9) any other activity (A) that the Federal Reserve Board, by regulation, has determined to be permissible for bank holding companies under Section 4(c) of The Association Holding Company Act, unless the Office of Thrift Supervision,
by regulation, prohibits or limits any such activity for savings and loan holding companies; or (B) in which multiple savings and loan holding companies were authorized (by regulation) to directly engage on March 5, 1987; and
(10) purchasing, holding, or disposing of stock acquired in connection with a qualified stock issuance if the purchase of such stock by such savings and loan holding company is approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision.
The Gramm-Leach Bliley Act of 1999 was designed to modernize the regulation of the financial services industry by expanding the ability of bank holding
companies to affiliate with other types of financial services companies such as insurance companies and investment banking companies. The legislation also expanded the activities permitted for mutual savings and loan holding companies to also
include any activity permitted a financial holding company under the legislation, including a broad array of insurance and securities activities.
Federal law prohibits a savings and loan holding company, including a federal mutual holding company, from, directly or indirectly or through one or more subsidiaries, acquiring more than 5% of the voting stock of
another savings institution, or holding company thereof, without prior written approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision from acquiring or retaining, with certain exceptions, more than 5% of a non-subsidiary holding company or savings
association. A savings and loan holding company is also prohibited from acquiring more than 5% of a company engaged in activities other than those authorized by federal law; or acquiring or retaining control of a depository institution that is not
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Office of Thrift Supervision must consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the
company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the insurance funds, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors.
The Office of Thrift Supervision is prohibited from approving any acquisition that would result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings institutions in more than one state, except:
(1) the approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies; and (2) the acquisition of a savings institution in another state if the laws of the state of the target savings institution specifically permit
such acquisitions. The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company acquisitions.
If the
savings institution subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company fails to meet the qualified thrift lender test set forth in federal law, the holding company must register with the Federal Reserve Board as a bank holding company within one year
of the savings institutions failure to so qualify.
9
Although savings and loan holding companies are not currently subject to regulatory capital requirements
or specific restrictions on the payment of dividends or other capital distributions, federal regulations do prescribe such restrictions on subsidiary savings institutions as described below. Bay-Vanguard Federal must notify the Office of Thrift
Supervision 30 days before declaring any dividend. In addition, the financial impact of a holding company on its subsidiary institution is a matter that is evaluated by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the agency has authority to order cessation
of activities or divestiture of subsidiaries deemed to pose a threat to the safety and soundness of the institution.
Stock Holding
Company Subsidiary Regulation
.
The Office of Thrift Supervision has adopted regulations governing the two-tier mutual holding company form of organization and mid-tier stock holding companies that are controlled by mutual holding
companies. Under these rules, the stock holding company subsidiary holds all the shares of the mutual holding companys savings association subsidiary and issues the majority of its own shares to the mutual holding company parent. In addition,
the stock holding company subsidiary is permitted to engage in activities that are permitted for its mutual holding company parent subject to the same terms and conditions. Finally, Office of Thrift Supervision regulations maintain that the stock
holding company subsidiary must be federally chartered for supervisory reasons.
Conversion of Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. to Stock Form.
Office of Thrift Supervision regulations permit Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. to convert from the mutual form of organization to the capital stock form of organization. There can be no assurance when, if ever, a conversion transaction will occur. In
a conversion transaction, a new holding company would be formed as the successor to BV Financial, Inc., Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C.s corporate existence would end, and certain depositors of Bay-Vanguard Federal would receive the right to subscribe
for additional shares of the new holding company. In a conversion transaction, each share of common stock held by stockholders other than Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. would be automatically converted into a number of shares of common stock of the new
holding company based on an exchange ratio determined at the time of conversion that ensures that stockholders other than Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. own the same percentage of common stock in the new holding company as they owned in BV Financial, Inc.
immediately before conversion. The total number of shares held by stockholders other than Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. after a conversion transaction would be increased by any purchases by such stockholders in the stock offering conducted as part of the
conversion transaction.
Acquisition of Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C.
Under the Federal Change in Control Act, a notice must be
submitted to the Office of Thrift Supervision if any person (including a company), or group acting in concert, seeks to acquire control of a savings and loan holding company or savings institution. Under certain circumstances, a change
of control may occur, and prior notice is required, upon the acquisition of 10% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the company or institution, unless the Office of Thrift Supervision has found that the acquisition will not result in a change
of control of Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. Under the Change in Control Act, the Office of Thrift Supervision generally has 60 days from the filing of a complete notice to act, taking into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial
resources of the acquirer and the anti-trust effects of the acquisition. Any company that acquires control would then be subject to regulation as a savings and loan holding company.
Federal Savings Institution Regulation
Business Activities
.
The activities of
federal savings associations are governed by federal law and regulations. These laws and regulations delineate the nature and extent of the activities in which federal savings banks may engage. In particular, certain lending authority for federal
savings institutions, e.g., commercial, non-residential real property loans and consumer loans, is limited to a specified percentage of the institutions capital or assets.
Capital Requirements
.
The Office of Thrift Supervision capital regulations require savings institutions to meet three minimum
capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital to total assets ratio; a 4% Tier 1 capital to total assets leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS examination rating system); and an 8% risk-based capital ratio. In
addition, the prompt corrective action standards discussed below also establish, in effect, a minimum 2% tangible capital standard, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS system) and, together with the
risk-based capital standard itself, a 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital standard. The Office of Thrift Supervision regulations also require that, in meeting the tangible,
10
leverage and risk-based capital standards, institutions must generally deduct investments in and loans to subsidiaries engaged in activities as principal
that are not permissible for a national bank.
The risk-based capital standard for savings institutions requires the maintenance of Tier 1
(core) and total capital (which is defined as core capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 4% and 8%, respectively. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet
activities, recourse obligations, residual interests and direct credit substitutes, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 100%, assigned by the Office of Thrift Supervision capital regulation based on the risks believed inherent in the
type of asset. Core (Tier 1) capital is generally defined as common stockholders equity (including retained earnings), certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, and minority interests in equity accounts of
consolidated subsidiaries less intangibles other than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit card relationships. The components of supplementary capital (Tier 2 capital) currently include cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual
preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, the allowance for loan and lease losses, limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, and up to 45% of unrealized gains on
available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. Overall, the amount of supplementary capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital.
The Office of Thrift Supervision also has authority to establish individual minimum capital requirements in appropriate cases upon a determination that
an institutions capital level is or may become inadequate in light of the particular circumstances. At June 30, 2008, Bay-Vanguard Federal met each of its capital requirements.
The following table presents Bay-Vanguard Federals capital position at June 30, 2008.

Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action.
The Office of Thrift Supervision is required to
take certain supervisory actions against undercapitalized institutions, the severity of which depends upon the institutions degree of undercapitalization. Generally, a savings institution that has a ratio of total capital to risk weighted
assets of less than 8%, a ratio of Tier 1 (core) capital to risk-weighted assets of less than 4% or a ratio of core capital to total assets of less than 4% (3% or less for institutions with the highest examination rating) is considered to be
undercapitalized. A savings institution that has a total risk-based capital ratio less than 6%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3% is considered to be significantly
undercapitalized and a savings institution that has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2% is deemed to be critically undercapitalized. Subject to a narrow exception, the Office of Thrift Supervision is
required to appoint a receiver or conservator within specified time frames for an institution that is critically undercapitalized. The regulation also provides that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the Office of Thrift
Supervision within 45 days of the date a savings institution is deemed to have received notice that it is undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized. Compliance with the plan
must be guaranteed by any parent holding company in an amount of up to the lesser of 5% of the savings associations total assets when it was deemed to be undercapitalized or the amount necessary to achieve compliance with applicable capital
regulations. In addition, numerous mandatory supervisory actions become immediately applicable to an undercapitalized institution, including, but not limited to, increased monitoring by regulators and restrictions on growth, capital distributions
and expansion. The Office of Thrift Supervision could also take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors. Significantly
undercapitalized institutions are subject to additional mandatory and discretionary restrictions.
Insurance of Deposit
Accounts.
Deposits of Bay-Vanguard Federal are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Insurance premiums are based on a number of
11
factors, primarily the risk of loss that insured institutions pose to the Deposit Insurance Fund. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has the ability
to adjust the insurance funds reserve ratio between 1.15% and 1.5%, depending on projected losses, economic changes and assessment rates at the end of a calendar year. The FDIC has adopted regulations that set assessment rates that took effect
at the beginning of 2007 and continued in 2008. The current assessment rates for most banks vary between five cents and seven cents for every $100 of deposits. A change in insurance premiums could have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and
results of operations of Bay-Vanguard Federal. We cannot predict what insurance assessment rates will be in the future. Assessment credits have been provided to institutions that paid high premiums in the past. Bay-Vanguard Federal paid $19,000 in
FDIC insurance premiums for the year ended June 30, 2008.
Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. We do not know of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of our deposit insurance.
In addition to the assessment for deposit insurance, institutions are required to make payments on bonds issued in the late 1980s by the Financing Corporation to recapitalize a predecessor deposit insurance fund.
Loans to One Borrower
.
Federal law provides that savings institutions are generally subject to the limits on loans to one borrower
applicable to national banks. Subject to certain exceptions, a savings institution may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be
lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if secured by specified readily-marketable collateral.
QTL
Test
.
Federal law requires savings institutions to meet a qualified thrift lender test. Under the test, a savings association is required to either qualify as a domestic building and loan association under the Internal
Revenue Code or maintain at least 65% of its portfolio assets (total assets less: (1) specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets; (2) intangibles, including goodwill; and (3) the value of property used to conduct
business) in certain qualified thrift investments (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including certain mortgage-backed securities) in at least 9 months out of each 12 month period. Recent legislation has expanded
the extent to which education loans, credit card loans and small business loans may be considered qualified thrift investments.
A savings institution that fails the qualified thrift lender test is subject to certain operating restrictions and may be required to convert to a bank charter. As of June 30, 2008, Bay-Vanguard Federal maintained 78.5% of its
portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and, therefore, met the qualified thrift lender test.
Limitation on Capital
Distributions
.
Office of Thrift Supervision regulations impose limitations upon all capital distributions by a savings institution, including cash dividends, payments to repurchase its shares and payments to shareholders of another
institution in a cash-out merger. Under the regulations, an application to and prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision is required prior to any capital distribution if the institution does not meet the criteria for expedited
treatment of applications under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations (i.e., generally, examination and Community Reinvestment Act ratings in the two top categories), the total capital distributions for the calendar year exceed net income
for that year plus the amount of retained net income for the preceding two years, the institution would be undercapitalized following the distribution or the distribution would otherwise be contrary to a statute, regulation or agreement with the
Office of Thrift Supervision. If an application is not required, the institution must still provide prior notice to the Office of Thrift Supervision of the capital distribution if, like Bay-Vanguard Federal, it is a subsidiary of a holding company.
In the event Bay-Vanguard Federals capital fell below its regulatory requirements or the Office of Thrift Supervision notified it that it was in need of increased supervision, Bay-Vanguard Federals ability to make capital distributions
could be restricted. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision could prohibit a proposed capital distribution by any institution, which would otherwise be permitted by the regulation, if the Office of Thrift Supervision determines that such
distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.
Standards for Safety and Soundness
.
The federal banking
agencies have adopted Interagency Guidelines prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness. The guidelines set forth the safety and soundness
12
standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the
Office of Thrift Supervision determines that a savings institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the Office of Thrift Supervision may require the institution to submit an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the
standard.
Transactions with Related Parties
.
Bay-Vanguard Federals authority to engage in transactions with
affiliates (e.g., any entity that controls or is under common control with an institution, including Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. and its non-savings institution subsidiaries) is limited by federal law. The aggregate amount of covered
transactions with any individual affiliate is limited to 10% of the capital and surplus of the savings institution. The aggregate amount of covered transactions with all affiliates is limited to 20% of the savings institutions capital and
surplus. Certain transactions with affiliates are required to be secured by collateral in an amount and of a type specified by federal law. The purchase of low quality assets from affiliates is generally prohibited. The transactions with affiliates
must be on terms and under circumstances that are at least as favorable to the institution as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated companies. In addition, savings institutions are prohibited from lending to
any affiliate that is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and no savings institution may purchase the securities of any affiliate other than a subsidiary.
Bay-Vanguard Federal may make loans to its executive officers and directors in compliance with federal banking laws. Under such laws, Bay-Vanguard
Federals authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and 10% shareholders (insiders), as well as entities such persons control, is limited. The law limits both the individual and aggregate amount of loans
Bay-Vanguard Federal may make to insiders based, in part, on Bay-Vanguard Federals capital position and requires certain board approval procedures to be followed. Such loans are required to be made on terms substantially the same as those
offered to unaffiliated individuals and not involve more than the normal risk of repayment. There is an exception for loans made pursuant to a benefit or compensation program that is widely available to all employees of the institution and does not
give preference to insiders over other employees. Loans to executive officers are subject to additional restrictions as to type and amount.
Enforcement
.
The Office of Thrift Supervision has primary enforcement responsibility over savings institutions and has the authority to bring actions against the institution and all institution-affiliated parties,
including stockholders, and any attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an insured institution. Formal enforcement action may range from the issuance of a
capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers and/or directors to institution of receivership, conservatorship or termination of deposit insurance. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and can amount to $25,000 per
day, or even $1 million per day in especially egregious cases. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has the authority to recommend to the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision that enforcement action to be taken with respect to a
particular savings institution. If action is not taken by the Director, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to take such action under certain circumstances. Federal law also establishes criminal penalties for certain violations.
Assessments
.
Savings institutions are required to pay assessments to the Office of Thrift Supervision to fund the
agencys operations. The general assessments, paid on a semi-annual basis, are computed based upon the savings institutions (including consolidated subsidiaries) total asset size, condition and complexity of portfolio. The OTS assessments
paid by Bay-Vanguard Federal for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 totaled $50,000.
Federal Home Loan Bank System
Bay-Vanguard Federal is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank
provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. Bay-Vanguard Federal, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank, is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in that Federal Home Loan Bank. Bay-Vanguard Federal was
in compliance with this requirement with an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock at June 30, 2008 of $654,000.
The Federal Home
Loan Banks are required to provide funds for the resolution of insolvent thrifts in the late 1980s and to contribute funds for affordable housing programs. These requirements could reduce the amount of dividends that the Federal Home Loan Banks pay
to their members and could also result in the Federal Home Loan Banks imposing a higher rate of interest on advances to their members. If dividends were reduced, or interest on
13
future Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased, Bay-Vanguard Federals net interest income would likely also be reduced.
Federal Reserve System
The Federal Reserve Board
regulations require savings institutions to maintain non-interest earning reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily Negotiable Order of Withdrawal (NOW) and regular checking accounts). The regulations generally provide that reserves be
maintained against aggregate transaction accounts as follows: a 3% reserve ratio is assessed on net transaction accounts up to and including $43.9 million; a 10% reserve ratio is applied above $43.9 million. The first $9.3 million of otherwise
reservable balances (subject to adjustments by the Federal Reserve Board) are exempted from the reserve requirements. The amounts are adjusted annually. Bay-Vanguard Federal complies with the foregoing requirements.
Federal and State Taxation
Federal Income Taxation
General.
We report our income on a fiscal year basis using the accrual method of accounting. The federal income tax laws
apply to us in the same manner as to other corporations with some exceptions, including particularly our reserve for bad debts discussed below. The following discussion of tax matters is intended only as a summary and does not purport to be a
comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to us. Our federal income tax returns have been either audited or closed under the statute of limitations through tax year 2004. For its 2008 year, BV Financials maximum federal income tax
rate was 34.0%.
BV Financial and Bay-Vanguard Federal have entered into a tax allocation agreement. Because BV Financial owns 100% of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of Bay-Vanguard Federal, BV Financial and Bay-Vanguard Federal are members of an affiliated group within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, of which group BV Financial is the common
parent corporation. As a result of this affiliation, Bay-Vanguard Federal will be included in the filing of a consolidated federal income tax return with BV Financial and the parties have agreed to compensate each other for their individual share of
the consolidated tax liability and/or any tax benefits provided by them in the filing of the consolidated federal income tax return.
Bad Debt Reserves.
For fiscal years beginning before June 30, 1996, thrift institutions that qualified under certain definitional tests and other conditions of the Internal Revenue Code were permitted to use certain
favorable provisions to calculate their deductions from taxable income for annual additions to their bad debt reserve. A reserve could be established for bad debts on qualifying real property loans, generally secured by interests in real property
improved or to be improved, under the percentage of taxable income method or the experience method. The reserve for nonqualifying loans was computed using the experience method. Federal legislation enacted in 1996 repealed the reserve method of
accounting for bad debts and the percentage of taxable income method for tax years beginning after 1995 and require savings institutions to recapture or take into income certain portions of their accumulated bad debt reserves. Approximately $1.2
million of our accumulated bad debt reserves would not be recaptured into taxable income unless Bay-Vanguard Federal makes a non-dividend distribution to BV Financial as described below.
Distributions.
If Bay-Vanguard Federal makes non-dividend distributions to BV Financial, the distributions will be considered
to have been made from Bay-Vanguard Federals unrecaptured tax bad debt reserves, including the balance of its reserves as of December 31, 1987, to the extent of the non-dividend distributions, and then from Bay-Vanguard
Federals supplemental reserve for losses on loans, to the extent of those reserves, and an amount based on the amount distributed, but not more than the amount of those reserves, will be included in Bay-Vanguard Federals taxable income.
Non-dividend distributions include distributions in excess of Bay-Vanguard Federals current and accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal income tax purposes, distributions in redemption of stock and distributions in partial
or complete liquidation. Dividends paid out of Bay-Vanguard Federals current or accumulated earnings and profits will not be so included in Bay-Vanguard Federals taxable income.
14
The amount of additional taxable income triggered by a non-dividend is an amount that, when reduced by
the tax attributable to the income, is equal to the amount of the distribution. Therefore, if Bay-Vanguard Federal makes a non-dividend distribution to BV Financial, approximately one and one-half times the amount of the distribution not in excess
of the amount of the reserves would be includable in income for federal income tax purposes, assuming a 34% federal corporate income tax rate. Bay-Vanguard Federal does not intend to pay dividends that would result in a recapture of any portion of
its bad debt reserves.
State Taxation
For fiscal 2008 BV Financial was subject to Marylands Corporation Business Tax at the rate of 7.0% on its taxable income, before net operating loss deductions and special deductions for federal income tax purposes. The rate will
increase to 8.25% for fiscal 2009. BV Financial and Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. are required to file Maryland income tax returns because they are doing business in Maryland. For this purpose, taxable income generally means federal taxable
income subject to certain adjustments (including addition of interest income on state and municipal obligations).
Changes in interest rates may hurt our earnings.
Short-term market interest rates (which we use as a guide to price our deposits) have until recently risen from historically low
levels, while longer-term market interest rates (which we use as a guide to price our longer-term loans) have not. This flattening of the market yield curve has had a negative impact on our net interest margin, which has reduced our
profitability. Our net interest margin was 2.48% for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to 2.67% for the year ended June 30, 2007. Over the last year, however, the U.S. Federal Reserve decreased its target for the federal funds rate
from 5.25% to 2.00%. Decreases in interest rates can result in increased prepayments of loans, as borrowers refinance to reduce their borrowing costs. Under these circumstances, we are subject to reinvestment risk as we may have to redeploy
such loan proceeds into lower-yielding assets, which might also negatively impact our income. Additionally, if short-term interest rates rise, and if rates on our deposits reprice upwards faster than the rates on our long-term loans and investments,
we would experience compression of our net interest margin, which would have a negative effect on our profitability. For further discussion of how changes in interest rates could impact us, see
Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of OperationRisk ManagementInterest Rate Risk Management
and
Net Portfolio Value Simulation Analysis.
We may be more susceptible to increases in interest rates because of the relatively small amount of adjustable-rate loans currently in our portfolio and
our heavy reliance on core deposits, especially our money market accounts, which reprice frequently. At June 30, 2008, $23.2 million, or 18.6% of our total loan portfolio, consisted of adjustable-rate loans. We attempt to limit our exposure to
rises in interest rates through: offering adjustable-rate one-to-four family residential real estate loans; an investment in a mutual fund that invests in adjustable-rate mortgage loans; an increased focus on multi-family and commercial real estate
lending, which emphasizes the origination of shorter-term adjustable-rate loans; and efforts to originate shorter-term fixed-rate loans. Our inability to successfully originate adjustable-rate multi-family and commercial real estate loans or
shorter-term fixed-rate loans could result in further compression of our net interest margin in a rising interest rate environment, which could hurt our profits.
Our increased emphasis on multi-family and commercial lending may expose us to increased lending risks.
At June 30,
2008, $13.6 million, or 10.6%, of our loan portfolio consisted of multi-family and commercial real estate loans. We intend to increase our emphasis on these types of higher-yielding loans to provide us with the opportunity to increase profits.
However, these types of loans generally expose a lender to greater risk of non-payment and loss than one- to four-family residential real estate loans because repayment of the loans often depends on the successful operation of the property and the
income stream of borrowers. Such loans typically involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers compared to one- to four-family residential real estate loans. Also, many of our commercial borrowers have more than one
loan outstanding with us. Consequently,
15
an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to a significantly greater risk of loss compared to an adverse
development with respect to a one- to four-family residential real estate loan.
Continued losses may have an adverse effect on our stock price.
We had a net loss of $330,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008. Contributing to the loss was: (1) an increase in the provision
for loan losses; (2) an increase in non-interest expenses, primarily due to the branch office we acquired in August 2007; (3) a compression in our net interest margin due to the current interest rate environment; and (4) an impairment
loss taken on equity securities. If and until we are able to return to profitability our stock price may be negatively affected.
Our level of
non-performing loans expose us to increased lending risks. Further, our allowance for loan losses may prove to be insufficient to absorb losses in our loan portfolio.
At June 30, 2008, our non-performing loans totaled $2.7 million, representing 2.1% of total loans. If these loans continue to not perform according to their terms and the collateral is insufficient to pay any
remaining loan balance, we may experience loan losses, which could have a material effect on our operating results. Like all financial institutions, we maintain an allowance for loan losses to provide for loans in our portfolio that may not be
repaid in their entirety. We believe that our allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio as of the corresponding balance sheet date. However, our allowance for loan losses may
not be sufficient to cover actual loan losses, and future provisions for loan losses could materially adversely affect our operating results.
In evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses, we consider numerous quantitative factors, including our historical charge-off experience, growth of our loan portfolio, changes in the composition of our loan portfolio and the
volume of delinquent and classified loans. In addition, we use information about specific borrower situations, including their financial position and estimated collateral values, to estimate the risk and amount of loss for those borrowers. Finally,
we also consider many qualitative factors, including general and economic business conditions, current general market collateral valuations, trends apparent in any of the factors we take into account and other matters, which are by nature more
subjective and fluid. Our estimates of the risk of loss and amount of loss on any loan are complicated by the significant uncertainties surrounding our borrowers abilities to successfully execute their business models through changing economic
environments, competitive challenges and other factors. Because of the degree of uncertainty and susceptibility of these factors to change, our actual losses may vary from our current estimates.
At June 30, 2008, our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.57%. Our regulators, as an integral part of their examination
process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our allowance for loan losses by recognizing additional provisions for loan losses charged to expense, or to decrease our allowance for loan losses by
recognizing loan charge-offs, net of recoveries. Any such additional provisions for loan losses or charge-offs, as required by these regulatory agencies, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
A downturn in the local economy or a decline in real estate values could hurt our profits.
Nearly all of our real estate loans are secured by real estate in the Baltimore metropolitan area. As a result of this concentration, a downturn in the
local economy could cause significant increases in non-performing loans, which would hurt our profits. Additionally, a decrease in asset quality could require additions to our allowance for loan losses through increased provisions for loan losses,
which would hurt our profits. In recent years, there were significant increases in real estate values in our market area. As a result of rising home prices, our loans have been well collateralized. However, these real estate values are beginning to
decline, which could cause some of our mortgage loans to become inadequately collateralized, which would expose us to a greater risk of loss. For a discussion of our market area, see
BusinessMarket Area.
16
Strong competition within our market area could hurt our profits and slow growth.
We face intense competition both in making loans and attracting deposits. This competition has made
it more difficult for us to make new loans and has occasionally forced us to offer higher deposit rates. Price competition for loans and deposits might result in us earning less on our loans and paying more on our deposits, which reduces net
interest income. As of June 30, 2007, we held 0.22% of the deposits in the Baltimore-Towson, Maryland Metropolitan Statistical Area, which was the 55
th
largest market share of deposits out of the 84 financial institutions in the metropolitan statistical area. Some of the institutions with which we compete have substantially greater resources and lending limits than we have and may offer
services that we do not provide. We expect competition to increase in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. Our profitability depends
upon our continued ability to compete successfully in our market area. For more information about our market area and the competition we face, see
BusinessMarket Area
and
BusinessCompetition.
We operate in a highly regulated environment and we may be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations.
Bay-Vanguard Federal is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision, its chartering authority, and by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as insurer of its deposits. Both Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. and BV Financial are subject to regulation and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Such regulation and supervision govern the activities in
which an institution and its holding company may engage, and are intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and for the depositors and borrowers of Bay-Vanguard Federal. The regulation and supervision by the Office of Thrift
Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation are not intended to protect the interests of investors in BV Financial common stock. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in their supervisory and enforcement activities,
including the imposition of restrictions on our operations, the classification of our assets, increases in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums and determination of the level of our allowance for loan losses. Any change in such regulation
and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, legislation or supervisory action, may have a material impact on our operations.
Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C.s majority control of our common stock will enable it to exercise voting control over most matters put to a vote of shareholders, and will prevent shareholders from forcing a sale or a second-step conversion
transaction you may find advantageous.
Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. owns a majority of BV Financials common stock and, through its board
of directors, will be able to exercise voting control over most matters put to a vote of shareholders. The same directors and officers who manage BV Financial and Bay-Vanguard Federal also manage Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. As a federally chartered mutual
holding company, the board of directors of Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. must ensure that the interests of depositors of Bay-Vanguard Federal are represented and considered in matters put to a vote of shareholders of BV Financial. Therefore, the votes cast
by Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. may not be in your personal best interests as a shareholder. For example, Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. may exercise its voting control to defeat a shareholder nominee for election to the board of directors of BV Financial. In
addition, shareholders will not be able to force a merger or second-step conversion transaction without the consent of Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. Some shareholders may desire a sale or merger transaction, because shareholders typically receive a premium
for their shares, or a second-step conversion transaction, because fully converted institutions tend to trade at higher multiples than mutual holding companies.
17
The Office of Thrift Supervision policy on remutualization transactions could prohibit the acquisition of BV
Financial, which may adversely affect our stock price.
Current Office of Thrift Supervision regulations permit a mutual holding
company to be acquired by a mutual institution in a remutualization transaction. However, the Office of Thrift Supervision has issued a policy statement indicating that it views remutualization transactions as raising significant issues concerning
disparate treatment of minority shareholders and mutual members of the target entity and raising issues concerning the effect on the mutual members of the acquiring entity. Under certain circumstances, the Office of Thrift Supervision intends to
give these issues special scrutiny and reject applications providing for the remutualization of a mutual holding company unless the applicant can clearly demonstrate that the Office of Thrift Supervisions concerns are not warranted in the
particular case. Should the Office of Thrift Supervision prohibit or otherwise restrict these transactions in the future, our per share stock price may be adversely affected. In addition, Office of Thrift Supervision regulations prohibit, for three
years following completion of the offering, the acquisition of more than 10% of any class of equity security issued by us without the prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision.

BV Financial is not subject to Office of Thrift Supervision regulatory restrictions on the
payment of dividends. However, BV Financials ability to pay dividends may depend, in part, upon its receipt of dividends from Bay-Vanguard Federal because BV Financial has no source of income other than earnings from the investment of the net
proceeds from the offering that it retained. Payment of cash dividends on capital stock by a savings institution is limited by OTS regulations. No insured depository institution may make a capital distribution if, after making the distribution, the
institution would be undercapitalized. See
Regulation and SupervisionRegulation of Federal Savings AssociationsLimitations on Capital Distribution.
As of June 30, 2008, BV Financial satisfied all prescribed capital requirements. Future dividend payments will depend on the Companys
profitability, approval by its Board of Directors and prevailing OTS regulations.
The Board of Directors of Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C.
determines whether Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. will waive or receive dividends declared by the Company each time the Company declares a dividend, which is expected to be on a quarterly basis. Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. may elect to receive dividends and utilize
such funds to pay general corporate expenses. The OTS has indicated that: (1) Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. shall provide the OTS annually with written notice of its intent to waive its dividends before the proposed date of the dividend and the OTS
shall have the authority to approve or deny any dividend waiver request; and (2) if a waiver is granted, dividends waived by Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. will be excluded from the Companys capital accounts for calculating dividend payments to
minority shareholders. Through June 30, 2008, Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. waived the right to receive its portion of the cash dividends paid, which totaled $509,000 on a cumulative basis.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
The objective of this section is to help potential investors understand our views on our results of operations and financial condition. You should read
this discussion in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to the financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.
Overview
Income
.
Our primary source of income is net interest income. Net interest income is the
difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on our loans and investments, and interest expense, which is the interest that we pay on our deposits and borrowings. To a much lesser extent, we also recognize income from service
charge incomemostly from service charges on deposit accounts and fees for late loan paymentsand from the increase in surrender value of our bank-owned life insurance.
Allowance for Loan Losses
.
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for losses inherent in the loan
portfolio. We evaluate the need to establish allowances against losses on loans on a quarterly basis. When additional allowances are necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings.
Expenses.
The expenses we incur in operating our business consist of compensation and related expenses, occupancy expenses, data processing
expenses, telephone and postage expenses, advertising expenses, professional fees, equipment expenses and other miscellaneous expenses.
Compensation and related expenses consist primarily of the salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes and expenses for health insurance, retirement plans and other employee benefits, including the employee stock ownership plan.
Expense for the employee stock ownership plan is based on the average market value of the shares committed to be released. An equal number of shares will be released each year over the 15-year term of the loan. Expense for shares of restricted stock
awards and stock options is based on the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Compensation and related expenses is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
21
Occupancy expenses, which are the fixed and variable costs of land and building, consist primarily of
lease payments, real estate taxes, depreciation charges, maintenance and costs of utilities. Depreciation of premises is computed using the straight-line method based on the useful lives of the related assets, which range from 15 to 40 years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or term of the lease.
Data processing expenses
include fees paid for third-party data processing service.
Telephone and postage expenses include our communication lines between branch
offices, our Internet access and our mailing expenses, including certain deposit statements.
Advertising expenses include expenses for
print advertisements, promotions and premium items.
Professional fees primarily include fees paid to our independent registered public
accountants, as well as our attorneys, predominantly in relation to problem assets and due to the costs of operating a public company.
Equipment expense includes expenses and depreciation charges related to office and banking equipment. Depreciation of equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on the useful lives of the related assets, which range from
three to ten years.
Other expenses include federal insurance deposit premiums, charitable contributions, regulatory assessments,
office supplies and other miscellaneous operating expenses.
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 allowance for loan losses and the determination of other than temporary impairment to be critical accounting policies.
Allowance for Loan Losses
.
The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover losses inherent
in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to income. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment.
Among the material estimates required to establish the allowance are: loss exposure at default; the amount and timing of future cash flows on impaired loans; the 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. However, historically, our estimates and assumptions have provided results that did not differ materially from actual results. For example, we recorded a loss
of $21,000 and a loss of $13,000 in relation to repossessed assets in fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. Additionally, we had net charge-offs to average loans of 0.02% for fiscal 2008 compared to net charge offs to average loans of 0.01% for fiscal
2007.
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 our primary market area, credit quality trends, collateral value, loan volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio,
the duration of the current business cycle 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 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 non-performing loans.
Additionally, a decline in real estate values could cause some of our loans to become inadequately collateralized. In either case, this may require us to increase our provision for loan losses, which would negatively impact earnings. Further, the
Office of Thrift Supervision, 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. An increase to the allowance required to be made by the Office of Thrift Supervision would negatively impact our earnings. Additionally, a large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased
22
provisions to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect earnings. See note 1 to the notes to consolidated financial statements included in this
Form 10-K.
At each of June 30, 2008 and 2007, over 89.9% of the loan portfolio consisted of real estate loans.
However, over
19.2% of the real estate loans consisted of multi-family and commercial real estate and construction loans, which carry a higher risk of default than one-to four-family residential real estate loans. The level of the allowance for loan losses has
changed primarily due to an increase in nonperforming loans due to the addition of a $1.2 million residential construction loan to non-accrual status, and, to a lesser extent, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio and the growth of the
loan portfolio, which has increased by 6.2% and 2.7% for fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Other-than-Temporary Impairment of
Investment Securities.
There are certain securities in an unrealized loss position that management believes at this time are temporarily impaired. If the fair value of these securities does not recover in a reasonable period of time or
management can no longer demonstrate the ability and intend to hold them until recovery, a write-down through the consolidated statements of income would be necessary.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the
length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a
period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value or until maturity.
In analyzing the issuers financial
condition, management considers industry analysts reports, financial performance and project target prices of investment analysts. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company identified the Shay AMF Ultra Short Mortgage Fund
equity securities it holds as being an other-than-temporary impaired asset and realized an impairment loss of $274,000 on these securities. See note 1 to the notes to consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K.
Intangible Asset Impairment.
The Company has goodwill and core deposit intangible assets arising from a branch purchase. The goodwill is
evaluated regularly for impairment while the core deposit intangible is being amortized over seven years.
Deferred Tax Asset
Valuation Allowance.
Management determined that no valuation allowance was warranted based on a history of taxable income, the expectation of taxable income going forward and the availability of tax planning strategies to generate future
income, including capital gains if necessary to offset capital losses on the impaired mutual fund security.
Operating Strategy
Our mission is to operate and grow a profitable community-oriented financial institution. We plan to achieve this by executing our strategy of:
|
|
|
aggressively attracting core deposits;
|
|
|
|
continuing to emphasize the origination of one- to four-family residential real estate loans;
|
|
|
|
pursuing opportunities to increase multi-family and commercial real estate lending in our market area;
|
|
|
|
continuing to use conservative underwriting practices to maintain the high quality of our loan portfolio; and
|
|
|
|
providing exceptional service to attract and retain customers.
|
23
Aggressively attract core deposits
Core deposits (accounts other than certificates of deposit) comprised 55.5% of our total deposits at June 30, 2008. We value core deposits because
they represent longer-term customer relationships and a lower cost of funding compared to certificates of deposit. We aggressively seek core deposits through competitive pricing and targeted advertising.
Continue to emphasize the origination of one- to four-family residential real estate loans
Our primary lending activity is the origination of residential mortgage loans secured by homes in our market area. We intend to continue emphasizing the
origination of residential mortgage loans going forward. At June 30, 2008, 70.7% of our total loans were one- to four-family residential real estate loans. We believe that our emphasis on residential lending, which carries a lower credit risk,
contributes to our high asset quality.
Pursue opportunities to increase multi-family and commercial real estate lending in our market
area
Multi-family and commercial real estate loans provide us with the opportunity to earn more income because they tend to have higher
interest rates than residential mortgage loans. Additionally, we offer adjustable-rate multi-family and commercial real estate loans. Adjustable-rate loans, which reprice periodically, help to offset the adverse effects of an increase in interest
rates, which improves our interest rate risk management. Multi-family and commercial real estate loans increased $2.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2008 and comprised approximately 10.6% of total loans. There are many multi-family and
commercial properties located in our market area, and we will continue to pursue these opportunities, while continuing to originate any such loans in accordance with what we believe are our conservative underwriting guidelines.
Continue to use conservative underwriting practices to maintain the high quality of our loan portfolio
We believe that high asset quality is a key to long-term financial success. We have sought to maintain a high level of asset quality and moderate credit
risk by using underwriting standards which we believe are conservative. While our non-performing loans (loans that are 90 or more days delinquent) at June 30, 2008 increased to 2.2% of our total loan portfolio and 1.6% of our total assets, the
increase was attributable to two residential construction loans totaling $2.2 million being placed on non-accrual status. We intend to continue our efforts to originate multi-family and commercial real estate loans and our philosophy of managing
large loan exposures through our conservative approach to lending.
Provide exceptional service to attract and retain customers
As a community-oriented financial institution, we emphasize providing exceptional customer service as a means to attract and retain

Balance Sheet Analysis
Loans
.
Our primary lending activity is the origination of loans secured by real estate. We originate real estate loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate, and to a much lesser
extent, secured by multi-family and commercial real estate. At June 30, 2008, real estate loans totaled $115.1 million, or 89.9% of total loans, compared to $108.6 million, or 90.1%, of total loans at June 30, 2007.
The largest segment of our real estate loans is one- to four-family residential real estate loans. At June 30, 2008, one- to four-family residential
real estate loans totaled $90.5 million, which represented 78.6% of real estate loans and 70.7% of total loans compared to $86.5 million at June 30, 2007, which represented 79.6% of real estate loans and 71.8% of total loans. One- to
four-family residential real estate loans increased $4.0 million, or 4.6%, in the year ended June 30, 2008 due to the continuing low interest rate environment, competitive pricing and increased marketing efforts.
24
Multi-family and commercial real estate loans totaled $13.6 million at June 30, 2008, which
represented 11.8% of real estate loans and 10.6% of total loans, compared to $11.4 million at June 30, 2007, which represented 10.5% of real estate loans and 9.5% of total loans. Multi-family and commercial real estate loans increased $2.1
million, or 18.8%, for the year ended June 30, 2008 due to the continued emphasis of this type of lending.
We purchase and originate
loans secured by mobile homes. Mobile home loans totaled $11.8 million at June 30, 2008, which represented 9.2% of total loans, compared to $11.0 million at June 30, 2007, which represented 9.1% of total loans. To mitigate our exposure to
this type of lending, we have limited the amount of mobile home loans to 15% of our loan portfolio. Mobile home loans increased in fiscal 2008 due to additional purchases from Forward National and Mainland Financial. A further discussion of our
mobile home loans is contained in
BusinessLending ActivitiesMobile Home Loans.
We also originate
construction loans secured by residential and multi-family and commercial real estate and loans to individuals to acquire land upon which they intend to build a residence. This portfolio totaled $11.1 million at June 30, 2008, which represented
8.7% of total loans, compared to $10.7 million at June 30, 2007, which represented 9.0% of total loans. Construction loans increased $396,000, or 3.7%, for the year ended June 30, 2008 primarily because of an increase in non-residential
and construction loans due to successful sales efforts.
We also originate a variety of consumer loans, including loans secured by passbook
or certificate accounts. Consumer loans totaled $824,000 and represented 0.7% of total loans at June 30, 2008, compared to $812,000, or 0.7% of total loans, at June 30, 2007.

Securities.
Our securities portfolio consists primarily of U.S. Treasury and
U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and a mutual fund that invests in adjustable-rate loans. Securities increased approximately $12.7 million, or 212.7%, in the year ended June 30, 2008 primarily due to the purchase of
$6.0 million in medium-term Federal Home Loan Bank notes, $10.2 million in mortgage-backed securities, and $1.0 million in Federal Farm Credit Bank notes. All of our mortgage-backed securities were issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
The following table sets forth the carrying amounts and fair values of our securities portfolio at the dates indicated.

At June 30, 2008, marketable equity securities consisted of an investment in a variable-rate
mortgage mutual fund offered by American Funds, with an amortized cost of $2.5 million and a fair value of $2.5 million. We also had a Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed security with an amortized cost of $1.7 million and a fair value of $1.7 million. We
had no other investments that had an aggregate book value in excess of 10% of our equity at June 30, 2008. Management analyzed its exposure to U.S. federal agencies securities and mortgage-backed securities held and found no impairment at
June 30, 2008. The above-mentioned mutual fund was written down by $274,000 in the 2008 fiscal year when it became evident that the impairment was not temporary.

comprised of demand deposits, savings accounts and time deposits. These deposits are provided primarily by individuals within our market area. We do not use brokered deposits as a source of funding. Deposits increased $38.5 million, or 39.1%, for
the year ended June 30, 2008. The Bank acquired $51.5 million in deposits, comprised mostly of $27.5 million in certificates of deposit and $20.2 million in NOW and money market accounts, in connection with a branch office purchase in August
2007. During the year ended June 30, 2008, certificates of deposit experienced a $9.5 million runoff.

Net income decreased $421,000, or 462.6%, for fiscal 2008 due primarily to an increase in the
provision for loan losses and an increase in non-interest expense due to an impairment charge of $274,000 on a mutual fund, offset by an increase in net interest income.
Net Interest Income.
Net interest income increased $353,000, or 10.5%, to $3.7 million for fiscal 2008. The increase in net interest income for fiscal 2008 was primarily attributable to an
increase in the volume of interest-earning assets, offset by a higher volume of interest-bearing liabilities. Our net interest margin decreased from 2.67% for fiscal 2007 to 2.48% for fiscal 2008 and our interest rate spread decreased from 2.16% for
fiscal 2007 to 2.13% for fiscal 2008.
Total interest income increased $1.2 million, or 15.8%, to $8.8 million for fiscal 2008,
resulting from an increase in the volume of interest-earning assets. During fiscal 2008, average interest-earning assets increased by $23.8 million, or 19.0%, to $149.4 million, while the average yield decreased 16 basis points to 5.92%. The
composition of interest-earning assets consists of loans, securities and interest-bearing deposits. Interest on loans increased $469,000, or 6.6%, to $7.5 million for fiscal 2008 due to a $6.6 million, or 5.8%, increase in the average balance of
loans, plus an increase in the average yield from 6.21% to 6.26%. During fiscal 2008, other interest income increased $599,000, or 608.7%, due to an increase in overnight federal funds interest earned. Interest on securities increased 69.5% due to
an increase in the average balance of securities, offset by the decrease in the average yield from 5.12% to 5.03%.
Total interest expense
increased $852,000, or 19.9%, to $5.1 million for fiscal 2008 primarily due to increases in interest on deposits, offset by a decrease in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances with the funds obtained in the branch acquisition. The
average interest rate paid on deposits decreased 13 basis points to 3.70%. The average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased from $14.3 million for fiscal 2007 to $9.6 million for fiscal 2008.
Average Balances and Yields.
The following table presents information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the
total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning assets, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting average yields and costs. The yields and costs for
the periods indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. For purposes of this table, average balances have been calculated using daily average
balances.

Rate/Volume Analysis
.
The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates
and volumes on our net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume
multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the changes
due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Loan Losses.
The provision for loan losses increased $323,000, from $5,000 for fiscal 2007 to $328,000 for fiscal 2008. This was a result of an increase in non-accrual
loans primarily due to the addition of $2.6 million in residential construction loans to non-accrual status and a related $284,000 provision for loan losses.
An analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses, non-performing loans and classified loans is presented under
Risk ManagementAnalysis of Non-Performing and Classified Assets

Service fees on loans increased due to an increase in income from participation loans that we
service. Income from investment in life insurance policy decreased due to the lower performance of the life insurance policies because of the lower interest rate environment. Other income increased $30,000 or 60.0% primarily due to a $15,000
increase in debit card income as the Bank went through its first full year with the debit card product, an $8,000 increase in ATM fees due to the addition of an ATM at the new branch and increased usage of the existing ATMs.

Computed as non-interest expenses divided by the sum of net interest income and other income.
|
Compensation and related expenses increased due to increased staff in connection with the branch acquisition and an increase in salaries and
medical benefit expense. Occupancy expense increased primarily due to the rental expense related to the new branch. Data processing costs increased due to additional charges related to the branch acquisition. Advertising increased as we increased
the advertising of our loan products. Equipment expense increased due to increased depreciation costs and building maintenance. A non-cash charge to earnings of $274,000, as a result of an other-than-temporary impairment in the value of the AMF
Ultra Short Mortgage Fund held in our investment portfolio also contributed to an increase in the non-interest expenses for 2008. Other expense increased due to the amortization of the core deposit premium that resulted from the branch acquisition,
offset by a decrease in debit card expense due to start up costs in 2007 and the settlement costs of a lawsuit in 2007. Professional fees decreased due primarily to the legal fees in connection with the branch acquisition being expensed during
fiscal year 2007.
Income Taxes.
The provision for income taxes decreased $320,000, or 484.8%, from $66,000 for fiscal
year 2007 to a benefit of $254,000 for fiscal year 2008 due primarily to the decrease in pre-tax income. The Companys effective tax rate was (43.49%) for fiscal year 2008 compared to 42.04% for fiscal year 2007.
Risk Management
Overview
.
Managing risk is an essential part of successfully managing a financial institution. Our most prominent risk exposures are credit risk, interest rate risk and market risk. Credit risk is the risk of not collecting the interest and/or the
principal balance of a loan or investment when it is due. Interest rate risk is the potential reduction of interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. Market risk arises from fluctuations in interest rates that may result in changes in
the values of financial instruments, such as available-for-sale securities that are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. Other risks that we encounter are operational risks, liquidity risks and reputation risk. Operational risks include risks
related to fraud, regulatory compliance, processing errors, technology and disaster recovery. Liquidity risk is the possible inability to fund obligations to depositors, lenders or borrowers. Reputation risk is the risk that negative publicity or
press, whether true or not, could cause a decline in our customer base or revenue.
34
Credit Risk Management
.
Our strategy for credit risk management focuses on having
well-defined credit policies and uniform underwriting criteria and providing prompt attention to potential problem loans. Our strategy also emphasizes the origination of one- to four-family residential real estate loans, which typically have lower
default rates than other types of loans and are secured by collateral that generally tends to appreciate in value.
When a borrower fails to make a required loan payment, we take a number of steps to have the borrower cure the delinquency and restore the loan to current status. We make initial contact with the borrower when the
loan becomes 15 days past due. If payment is not received by the 35
th
day of delinquency, a letter from our President and Chief Executive Officer is
sent. Typically, when the loan becomes 60 days past due, a letter is sent from our attorney notifying the borrower that we will commence foreclosure proceedings if the loan is not paid in full within 30 days. Generally, loan workout arrangements are
made with the borrower at this time; however, if an arrangement cannot be structured before the loan becomes 90 days past due, we will commence foreclosure proceedings against any real property that secures the loan or attempt to repossess any
personal property that secures a consumer loan. If a foreclosure action is instituted and the loan is not brought current, paid in full or refinanced before the foreclosure sale, the real property securing the loan generally is sold at foreclosure.
Management informs the board of directors monthly of the amount of loans delinquent more than 30 days.
Analysis of Non-Performing and Classified Assets.
We consider repossessed assets and loans that are 90 days or more past due to be
non-performing assets. When a loan becomes 90 days delinquent, the loan is placed on non-accrual status at which time the accrual of interest ceases and an allowance for any uncollectible accrued interest is established and charged against
operations. Typically, payments received on a non-accrual loan are applied to the outstanding principal and interest as determined at the time of collection of the loan.
Real estate that we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until it is sold. When property is acquired, it is recorded at fair value, net of estimated
selling costs, at the date of foreclosure. Holding costs and declines in fair value after acquisition of the property result in charges against income.
Non-performing assets totaled $2.7 million, or 1.7% of total assets, at June 30, 2008, which is an increase of $2.5 million, or 966.2%, from June 30, 2007. The increase in non-performing assets was due
primarily to three residential construction loans totaling $2.6 million being placed on non-accrual status. There is a specific allowance for loan loss valuation of $284,000 for these three loans.
Two loans were to be repaid by the sale of the properties securing the loan. One of the two construction loans has been refinanced. In refinancing the
loan, the Bank split the original loan amount between the two primary borrowers. Two of the properties were only 85% complete. The borrower who took this part of the refinancing provided additional properties for collateral so that there would be
enough equity to finish the last 15% of the project. Once complete, the two units will be rented to improve cash flows for repayment. The borrower who refinanced the other properties is repaying a term loan that is secured by the two completed
units, which are rented and producing income. The borrower is adding personal cash to help make the payments.
The other impaired
construction loan is non-performing. The borrowers have stipulated that they will deed the two properties securing this loan in lieu of foreclosure. One of the two properties is complete, while the other unit is nearly complete. Once deeded to the
Bank, the Bank will use the funds in escrow to finish the incomplete unit and either lease or sell the properties as market conditions dictate.
Non-accrual loans accounted for 96.9% of total non-performing assets at June 30, 2008.

As defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15.
|
Other than disclosed in the above table, there are no other loans at June 30, 2008 that management has serious doubts about the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present repayment terms.
Interest income that would have been recorded for the year ended June 30, 2008 had nonaccruing loans been current according to their original terms
amounted to $194,000. The amount of interest related to these loans included in interest income was $138,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008.
Federal regulations require us to review and classify our assets on a regular basis. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision has the authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, require them to be classified. There are
three classifications for problem assets: substandard, doubtful and loss. Substandard assets must have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies
are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values
questionable and there is a high possibility of loss. An asset classified loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. The regulations also provide for a
special mention category, described as assets that do not currently expose us to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving our close attention. When we
classify an asset as substandard or doubtful, we establish a specific allowance for loan losses. If we classify an asset as loss, we charge off an amount equal to 100% of the portion of the asset classified as loss.
The following table shows the aggregate amounts of our classified assets at the dates indicated.

Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Loan Losses
.
The allowance
for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. We evaluate the need to establish provisions against losses on loans on a quarterly basis. When additions to the allowance are necessary, a provision for
loan losses is charged to earnings.
Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses consists of three
key elements: (1) specific allowances for identified problem loans; (2) a general valuation allowance on certain identified problem loans; and (3) a general valuation allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio. Although we
determine the amount of each element of the allowance separately, the entire allowance for loan losses is available for the entire portfolio.
Specific Allowance Required for Identified Problem Loans.
We establish an allowance on certain identified problem loans based on such factors as: (1) the strength of the customers personal or business cash flows;
(2) the availability of other sources of repayment; (3) the amount due or past due; (4) the type and value of collateral; (5) the strength of our collateral position; (6) the estimated cost to sell the collateral; and
(7) the borrowers effort to cure the delinquency.
General Valuation Allowance on Certain Identified Problem Loans.
We
also establish a general allowance for classified loans that do not have an individual allowance. We segregate these loans by loan category and assign allowances to each category based on inherent losses associated with each type of lending and
consideration that these loans, in the aggregate, represent an above-average credit risk and that more of these loans will prove to be uncollectible compared to loans in the general portfolio.
General Valuation Allowance on the Remainder of the Loan Portfolio.
We establish another general allowance for loans that are not classified to
recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, has not been allocated to particular problem assets. This general valuation allowance is determined by segregating the loans by loan category
and assigning allowances based on our historical loss experience, delinquency trends and managements evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio. The allowance may be adjusted for significant factors that, in managements
judgment, affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. These significant factors may include changes in lending policies and procedures, changes in existing general economic and business conditions affecting our primary
market area, credit quality trends, collateral value, loan volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, duration of the current business cycle and bank regulatory
examination results. The applied loss factors are re-evaluated quarterly to ensure their relevance in the current real estate environment.
37
The Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews
our allowance for loan losses. The Office of Thrift Supervision may require us to make additional provisions for loan losses based on judgments different from ours.
At June 30, 2008, our allowance for loan losses represented 0.57% of total loans and 26.82% of non-performing loans. The allowance for loan losses increased to $709,000 at June 30, 2008 from $402,000 at
June 30, 2007, due to a provision for loan losses of $328,000 and charge-offs of $21,000. The provision reflects an increase in non-accrual loans as well as increasing levels of loan growth compared to 2007. In the first quarter of fiscal 2008,
the Bank increased its allowance factor for mobile home loans as there is no additional dealer reserve account to assist in offsetting losses. In addition, a higher general reserve was established for the few unsecured loans the Bank originated.
The following table sets forth the breakdown of the allowance for loan losses by loan category at the dates indicated.

Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan
losses, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary and our results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations. Furthermore, while
we believe we have established our allowance for loan losses in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing our loan portfolio, will not request us to increase our allowance for
loan losses. In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that increases will not be necessary should
the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed above. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Interest Rate Risk Management.
We manage the interest rate sensitivity of our interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets in
an effort to minimize the adverse effects of changes in the interest rate environment. Deposit accounts typically react more quickly to changes in market interest rates than mortgage loans because of the shorter maturities of deposits. As a result,
sharp increases in interest rates may adversely affect our earnings while decreases in interest rates may beneficially affect our earnings. To reduce the potential volatility of our earnings, we have sought to improve the match between asset and
liability maturities and rates, while maintaining an acceptable interest rate spread. Also, we attempt to manage our interest rate risk through: the origination of adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans; an investment in a
mutual fund that invests in adjustable-rate mortgage loans; an increased focus on multi-family and commercial real estate lending, which emphasizes the origination of shorter-term adjustable-rate loans; and efforts to originate fixed-rate mortgage
loans with maturities of fifteen years or less. We currently do not participate in hedging programs, interest rate swaps or other activities involving the use of off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments.
Our board of directors serves as our Asset/Liability Committee to communicate, coordinate and control all aspects involving asset/liability management.
The committee monitors the volume and mix of assets and funding sources with the objective of managing assets and funding sources.
Net Portfolio Value Simulation Analysis.
We use an interest rate sensitivity analysis 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. This analysis assesses the risk of loss in market risk sensitive instruments in the event of a sudden and sustained
100 to 300 basis point increase or 100 and 200 basis point decrease in market interest rates. We measure interest rate risk by modeling the changes in net portfolio value over a variety of interest rate scenarios. 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 June 30, 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 certain assumptions in assessing the interest rate risk of
savings associations. 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 method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. 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. 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.
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 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, federal funds sold 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 are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At
June 30, 2008, cash and cash equivalents totaled $8.9 million, including interest-bearing deposits of $580,000. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $8.8 million at June 30,
2008. In addition, at June 30, 2008, we had the ability to borrow an additional $32.5 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. On that date, we had $7.5 million outstanding.
At June 30, 2008, we had $2.8 million in loan commitments outstanding. In addition to commitments to originate loans, we had $2.3 million in unused
lines of credit and $2.4 million in undisbursed construction loans in process. Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2008 totaled $35.8 million, or 26.1% 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 June 30, 2009. 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 to attract certain deposit products.

Capital Management.
We have managed our capital to maintain strong protection for
depositors and creditors. 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 June 30, 2008, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements. We are considered well
capitalized under regulatory guidelines. See
Regulation and SupervisionRegulation of Federal Savings AssociationsCapital Requirements
and
Regulatory Capital Compliance
and note 12 of the notes
to the consolidated financial statements.
We also will manage our capital for maximum shareholder benefit. We may use capital management
tools such as cash dividends and share repurchases.
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. A presentation of our outstanding loan commitments and unused lines of
credit at June 30, 2008 and their effect on our liquidity is presented at note 3 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K and under
Risk ManagementLiquidity Management.
For the year ended June 30, 2008, 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan 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 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and determined that upon adoption, it had no impact on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141 (R) Business
Combinations (SFAS No. 141 (R)). 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 interests 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 companys fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. This new pronouncement will
impact the Companys accounting for business combinations completed beginning July 1, 2009.
41
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). 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 companys fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008 and is not expected to have a significant impact on its financial statements.
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 Bulleting 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 a significant
impact on the Companys 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 beginning July 1, 2008 and did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In February 2008, 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 entitys 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 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, of the adoption of FSP 157-2 on
its financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASBs 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 employees benefit during his or her retirement, then the liability recognized during the employees active service period should be based on the future cost of insurance to be
incurred during the employees retirement. Alternatively, if the policyholder 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. The Company adopted this EITF
effective July 1, 2007 and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $(221,000).
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 has elected to account for the Shay AMF Ultra Short Mortgage Fund mutual fund it holds at fair value and there was no impairment recognized with this adoption as the investment had been written down to fair value at June 30, 2008.
Future gains and losses will be reflected through earnings.
42
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. Adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the
preparation of financial statements. This Statement is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. This
FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(SFAS 142). The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R,
and other GAAP. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the
potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices
The financial statements and related financial data presented in this annual report on Form 10-K have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact
of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more
significant impact on a financial institutions performance than do general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of BV Financial, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The internal control process has
been designed under our supervision to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of BV Financial, Inc.s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of BV Financial, Inc.s
internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, utilizing the framework established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Based on this assessment, management has determined that BV Financial, Inc.s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008 is effective.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, transactions and dispositions of assets; and provide
reasonable assurances that: (1) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; (2) receipts and expenditures are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of BV Financial, Inc.; and (3) unauthorized acquisitions, use, or disposition of BV Financial, Inc.s assets that could have a material affect on BV Financial,
Inc.s financial statements are prevented or timely detected.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.
Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of BV Financial, Inc.s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to
attestation by BV Financial, Inc.s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit BV Financial, Inc. to provide only managements report in this annual
report.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
BV Financial, Inc.
Baltimore, Maryland
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of BV Financial, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. The Companys management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BV Financial, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company adopted EITF 06-4 effective July 1, 2007 and changed its method of accounting for postretirement benefits associated with split dollar life insurance.

BV Financial, Inc. (the Company) 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 the Company and organized Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. (the M.H.C.) as a federally chartered mutual holding company that owned 55% of the common stock of the Company. At June 30, 2008 the M.H.C. owned
61.1% of the common stock of the Company. As part of the reorganization, the Company sold 1,190,250 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share to members of the Bank in a subscription offering raising approximately $11.0 million in

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, commercial real estate and consumer loans.
The Banks savings accounts are insured up to the applicable legal limits by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations Deposit Insurance Fund. Bay-Vanguard Federal is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System.
The Bank has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Housing Recovery Corporation (HRC). HRCs primary business is holding real estate and other assets acquired by the Bank through foreclosure or repossession.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiary, HRC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation and Significant Estimates
The consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are
particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the assessment of other than temporary impairment of investment securities, intangible asset impairment and the valuation
of deferred tax assets.
Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk
Most of the Companys activities are with customers located within the Baltimore Metropolitan Area. The Company does not have any significant
concentrations to any one industry or customer.

Securities
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, which requires investments in securities
to be classified in one of three categories: held to maturity, trading or available for sale. Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and are reported at amortized
cost (including amortization of premium or accretion of discount). As the Company does not engage in security trading, the balance of its debt securities and any equity securities are classified as available for sale. Net unrealized gains and losses
for such securities are required to be recognized as increases or decreases in other comprehensive income or loss, net of taxes, and excluded from the determination of net income. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are determined using
the specific identification method and are included in earnings. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities.
Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected
in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term
prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
Federal law requires a member institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank System to hold stock of its district Federal Home Loan Bank according to a
predetermined formula. This restricted stock is carried at cost.
Premises and Equipment
Land is stated at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed based on the straight-line
method over the useful lives of the respective assets. Expenditures for improvements are capitalized while costs for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Foreclosed Assets
Foreclosed real estate is composed
of property acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and is included in other assets. Foreclosed assets initially are recorded at fair value, net of estimated selling costs, at the date of foreclosure,
establishing a new cost basis. Foreclosed assets totaled $41,000 and $44,000 at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. If the fair value is less than the related loan balance at the time of acquisition, a charge against the allowance for loan
losses is recorded. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated costs to sell. Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the
valuation allowance are included in foreclosed real estate expense.

Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts
are realized or settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that such amounts will be realized based on consideration of available evidence.
Loans Receivable
Loans receivable are stated at
unpaid principal balances, less undisbursed portion of loans in process, deferred loan origination fees and costs and the allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees and costs are
deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the yield (interest income) of the related loans. The Company is amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loan using the interest method. For purchased loans, the related premium or
discount is recognized over the contractual life of the purchased loan and is included as part of interest income.
The accrual of interest
is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectibility of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan
may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally
is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to managements judgment as to the collectibility of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed
in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. Cash payments on impaired loans are recorded in the same manner as
payments on non-accrual loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if
any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level to provide for losses that are probable and can
be reasonably estimated. Managements periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Banks past loan loss experience, known and inherent losses in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers
ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be
susceptible to significant change, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans
that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired
loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.
A loan is considered past due or delinquent when a contractual payment is not paid in the month that it is due. A loan is considered impaired when, based
on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in
determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not
classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the
delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrowers prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for multi-family, commercial real estate and
construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, the loans obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately
identify individual consumer, mobile home, and residential real estate loans for impairment disclosures, unless they are subject to a restructuring agreement.
Investment in Life Insurance
Investment in life insurance is reflected at the net cash surrender value to the Company.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Intangible assets, consisting of core deposit intangibles, represent purchased assets that also lack physical substance but can be
distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights or because the asset is capable of being sold or exchanged on its own or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. Core deposit intangibles are amortized on
an accelerated basis over a 7-year period and goodwill is evaluated on an annual basis to determine impairment, if any. Any impairment of goodwill would be recorded against income in the period of impairment.
Statement of Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents in
the statements of cash flows include cash and federal funds sold.

Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when: (1) the assets have been isolated
from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over
the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into commitments to extend credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the statement of
financial condition when they are funded.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income or loss. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on
securities available for sale, are reported as a separate component of the stockholders equity section of the statement of financial condition, such items, along with net income or loss, are components of comprehensive income or loss.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) 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 (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) 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. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company had 21,265 and 29,733 shares of unvested restricted stock, respectively, and 111,456 shares and 111,456 shares of unexercised stock
options, respectively, none of which were dilutive. Information related to the calculation of earnings (loss) per share is summarized as follows:

Employee Stock Ownership Plan
The Company accounts for the ESOP in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position 93-6. The cost of shares issued to the ESOP but not yet allocated to
participants is presented in the consolidated statement of financial condition as a reduction of stockholders equity. Compensation expense is recorded based on the market price of the shares as they are committed to be released for allocation
to participant accounts. The difference between the market price and the cost of shares committed to be released is recorded as an adjustment to paid-in capital. Dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are reflected as a reduction of debt.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the current years presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan 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 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and determined that upon adoption, it had no impact on its financial
statements.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141 (R) Business
Combinations (SFAS No. 141 (R)). 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 companys fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. This new pronouncement will
impact the Companys accounting for business combinations completed beginning July 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). 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 companys fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008 and is not expected to have a
significant impact on the Companys financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
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 a
significant impact on the Companys 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 beginning July 1, 2008 and did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In February 2008, 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 entitys 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 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, of the adoption of FSP 157-2 on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASBs 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
employees benefit during his or her retirement, then the liability recognized during the employees active service period should be based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employees retirement. Alternatively,
if the policyholder 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. The Company adopted this EITF effective July 1, 2007 and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment
of $(221,000). See related Note 17.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
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 has elected to account for the Shay AMF Ultra Short Mortgage mutual
fund it holds at fair value and there was no impairment recognized with this adoption as the investment had been written down to fair value at June 30, 2008. Future gains and losses will be reflected through earnings.
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. Adoption
is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. This Statement is effective
60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company is
currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB
Staff Position (FSP) FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of
a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset
under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R, and other GAAP. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact the new pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

All mortgage-backed securities are Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae backed securities.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such
evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the
Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value or until maturity.
In
analyzing the issuers financial condition, management considers industry analysts reports, financial performance, and projected target prices of investment analysts. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company identified the
Shay AMF Ultra Short Mortgage mutual find it holds as being an other-than-temporarily impaired asset and realized an impairment loss of $274,000 on these securities.
Below is a schedule of securities with unrealized losses as of June 30, 2008 and 2007. These unrealized losses are the result of changes in market conditions and interest rates from those existing at the time of
purchase of the securities and, as to mortgage-backed securities, actual and estimated prepayment speeds. These factors along with the fact the Company has both the intent and the ability to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to
allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value, substantiates, in managements opinion, that these unrealized losses are considered temporary.

Residential lending payment experience is generally dependent to some extent on economic and market conditions in
the Banks lending area. Multi-family, commercial real estate and construction loan repayments are generally dependent on the operations of the related properties or the financial condition of its borrower or guarantor. Accordingly, repayment
of such loans can be more susceptible to adverse conditions in the real estate market and the regional economy.

Substantially all of the Banks loans receivable are mortgage loans secured by residential, multi-family and
commercial real estate properties located in the State of Maryland. Loans are extended only after evaluation by management of customers creditworthiness and other relevant factors on a case-by-case basis. The Bank generally does not lend more
than 90% of the appraised value of a property and usually requires private mortgage insurance on residential mortgages with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%. In some instances, the Bank lent up to 90% of the appraised value of a property
through a combination of first and second mortgages without requiring private mortgage insurance. The Bank originates and purchases mobile home loans to owner occupied borrowers up to a maximum of 90% of the value of the mobile home. In addition,
the Bank generally obtains personal guarantees of repayment from borrowers and/or others for construction, commercial and multifamily residential loans and disburses the proceeds of construction and similar loans only as work progresses on the
related projects.
The following is a summary of the allowance for loan losses for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007:

The Bank had three impaired loans as defined by SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan, totaling $2,582,000 and allowances for loan losses relating to these impaired loans of $286,000 at June 30, 2008. The average balance in the impaired loans totaled $1,084,000 and the Bank did not recognize any interest income on
impaired loans for the year ended June 30, 2008. The Bank had no impaired loans at June 30, 2007.
Non-accrual loans totaled approximately $2.6
million and $152,000 at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Bank did not have any loan balances past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at June 30, 2008 or 2007.
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial
instruments are limited to commitments to originate loans and unused lines of credit and involve to varying degrees elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of financial position.
The Banks exposure to credit loss from non-performance by the other party to the above mentioned financial instruments is represented by the contractual amount of
those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

The Bank generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance-sheet
credit risk.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.

The Bank has a profit-sharing plan and a 401(k) plan for all eligible
employees. Contributions to the plans are discretionary by the Board of Directors. Expenses for the years ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $-0- and $24,000 for the profit-sharing plan and $28,000 and $22,000 for the 401(k) plan,
respectively.
The Company has deferred compensation agreements with two of its executive officers. Under each executive officers agreement, the
deferred compensation will be paid from the proceeds in excess of cash value of life insurance policies. The cost of the insurance is charged to operations as incurred. The amount of an executive officers benefit is determined pursuant to the
accrual of two accounts: (i) a pre-retirement account and (ii) an index retirement benefit account. The pre-retirement account is a liability reserve account of the Bank and, prior to the executive officers termination of service or
retirement is increased or decreased each calendar year by the aggregate annual after-tax income from specified life insurance policies purchased or deemed purchased by the Bank reduced by an opportunity cost, which is calculated by
taking into account the Banks after-tax cost of funds. The index retirement benefit account for any calendar year is equal to the excess of the annual earnings (if any) of the insurance policies for that year over the opportunity
cost for that year.
The directors entered into a supplemental retirement plan. The directors are 100% vested in a pre-retirement account at the
effective date of the plan. The balance at the effective date of the plan was $10,000 for each director. The index retirement benefit for each director each year is equal to the excess of the index over the cost of funds divided by a factor equal to
1.20 minus the marginal tax rate. The index is the aggregate annual after-tax income from life insurance contracts. At retirement, the directors are entitled to the balance of the pre-retirement account in 120 monthly installments.

In 2005, the Bank reorganized from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered
stock savings bank. Simultaneously, the Bank formed a new holding company, BV Financial, Inc. Also simultaneously, a mutual holding company was formed, Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. In connection with the reorganization, the Company issued 2,645,000 shares
of its common stock. A majority of that stock (1,454,750 shares) was issued to Bay Vanguard, M.H.C. The remainder was sold and issued to depositors of the Bank and the ESOP.
At the same time as the reorganization and conversion, the Bank established the ESOP for its employees. On January 12, 2005, the ESOP acquired 103,684 shares of the Companys common stock in the conversion
with funds provided by a loan from the Company. Accordingly, $1,036,000 of common stock acquired by the ESOP was shown as a reduction of stockholders equity. The ESOP loan is being repaid principally from the Banks contributions to the
ESOP in 15 equal annual installments through 2020 and bears interest at the rate of five and one quarter percent (5.25%). Shares are released to participants proportionately as the loan is repaid. The Bank will recognize compensation expense as
shares are committed for release from collateral at their current market price. Dividends on allocated shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings and dividends on unallocated shares are recorded as a reduction of debt. The Company
recognized $50,000 and $60,000 of compensation expense for the years ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively. The ESOP holds the common stock in a trust for allocation among participating employees. 3,169 shares were allocated
and 6,912 were released to participants during the year ended June 30, 2008. 5,125 shares were allocated and 6,912 were released to participants during the year ended June 30, 2007. The unearned ESOP shares totaled 76,036 at June 30,
2008. The fair value of the unearned shares at June 30, 2008 was $418,000.
All employees of the Bank who attain the age of 21 and complete one year
of service with the Bank will be eligible to participate in the ESOP. Each participants vested interest under the ESOP is determined according to the following schedule: 1 year 20%, 2 years 40%, 3 years 60%, 4 years 80%, 5
years 100%. For vesting purposes, a year of service means any plan year in which an employee completes at least 1,000 hours of service (whether before or after the ESOPs January 12, 2005 effective date). Vesting accelerates to 100%
upon; (1) termination of the Plan or upon the permanent and complete discontinuance of contributions by the Bank, (2) termination of service on or after the participants normal or postponed retirement date, (3) a change in
control, or (4) termination of service by reason of death or disability.

On November 8, 2005, stockholders approved the BV Financial, Inc. 2005 Equity Compensation Plan that enabled the Company to grant up to 181,447 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, of which 43,466 and 22,286 were exercisable
at June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively. 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.
Stock options had no intrinsic value at June 30, 2008. The Company recognized $59,000 and $98,000 of expense relating to the granting of stock options during the

On November 14, 2005, the Company
granted 44,577 shares of restricted stock to certain employees and directors of the Company. The Company purchased shares in the open market during 2006 to fund this plan. The awards vest over a five-year period and, therefore, the cost of such
awards is accrued ratably over a five-year period as compensation expense. The Company recognized $77,000 and $81,000 of expense relating to the grant of shares of restricted stock during the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

As
of June 30, 2008, there was $260,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. The remaining cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4
years.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional
discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Companys financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must
meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Banks assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Banks capital amounts and classifications
are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by
regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) and risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as
defined) to adjusted total assets (as defined). Management believes, as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.
As of June 30, 2008, the most recent notification from the Office of Thrift Supervision has categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized
as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There have been no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the
Banks category.

The Bank was allowed a special bad debt deduction at various percentages of otherwise taxable income for various
years through December 1, 1987. If the amounts which qualified as deductions for federal income tax purposes prior to December 31, 1987 are later used for purposes other than to absorb loan losses, including distributions in liquidations,
they will be subject to federal and state income tax at the then current corporate rate. Retained earnings at June 30, 2008 and 2007 include $1,201,000, for which no provision for income tax has been provided. The unrecorded deferred income tax
liability on the above amount was approximately $464,000.
Office of Thrift Supervision regulations impose limitations upon all capital distributions by a
savings institution, including cash dividends, payments to repurchase its shares and payments to shareholders of another institution in a cash-out merger. Under the regulations, an application to and prior approval of the Office of Thrift
Supervision is required prior to any capital distribution if the institution does not meet the criteria for expedited treatment of applications under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations (i.e., generally, examination and Community
Reinvestment Act ratings in the two top categories), the total capital distributions for the calendar year exceed net income for that year plus the amount of retained net income for the preceding two years, the institution would be undercapitalized
following the distribution or the distribution would otherwise be contrary to a statute, regulation or agreement with the Office of Thrift Supervision. Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank met the criteria for expedited treatment of
applications under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations.
The Board of Directors of Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. determines whether Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. will
waive or receive dividends declared by the Company each time the Company declares a dividend, which is expected to be on a quarterly basis. Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. may elect to receive dividends and utilize such funds to pay general corporate expenses.
The Office of Thrift Supervision (the OTS) has indicated that (i) Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. shall provide the OTS annually with written notice of its intent to waive its dividends prior to the proposed date of the dividend, and the OTS
shall have the authority to approve or deny any dividend waiver request; and (ii) if a waiver is granted, dividends waived by Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. will be excluded from the Companys capital accounts for purposes of calculating dividend
payments to minority shareholders. Through June 30, 2008, Bay-Vanguard, M.H.C. waived the right to receive its portion of the cash dividends paid which totaled $509,000 on a cumulative basis.
The Federal Reserve Board regulations require savings institutions to maintain non-interest earnings reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily Negotiable
Order of Withdrawal (NOW) and regular checking accounts). The regulations generally provide that reserves be maintained against aggregate transaction accounts as follows: a 3% reserve ratio is assessed on net transaction accounts up to and including
$43.9 million; a 10% reserve ratio is applied above $43.9 million. The first $8.5 million of otherwise reservable balances (subject to adjustments by the Federal Reserve Board) are exempted from the reserve requirements. The amounts are adjusted
annually. Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank had no reserve requirement at June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007.

The Bank had leased one of its office buildings from a relative of an officer of the Bank. The Bank had executed a
new lease on August 4, 2004 with an initial term of five years, with two five year renewal options. Rent expense for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $22,000 and $22,000, respectively. The annual rent was payable in equal monthly
installments. The Bank entered into an agreement to purchase this office building and settlement occurred on June 24, 2008 with a purchase price of $750,000. The lease agreement terminated upon the purchase of the building. (The building is
reflected in construction in progress at June 30, 2008 as it will be undergoing significant renovation).

The estimated fair values of the Banks financial instruments are summarized
below. The fair values are estimates derived primarily from present value techniques and may not be indicative of the net realizable or liquidation values. Also, the calculation of estimated fair values is based on market conditions at a specific
point in time and may not reflect current or future fair values.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating the fair values of financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Interest Bearing Deposits in Other Banks
The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents and interest bearing deposits in other banks approximate fair value.
Investment Securities
Fair values for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank stock, are based on quoted market
prices. The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Loans Receivable
For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values
are based on carrying amounts. Fair values for fixed-rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for
non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
Deposits
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts)
are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates
currently being offered on such certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on these deposits.
Advances from Federal Home Loan
Bank
The fair value of borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on rates currently available to the Bank for
borrowings with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable
The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate fair value.
Off-Balance Sheet Credit Related Instruments
Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related
financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties credit standing. The fair values of these instruments were not
significant at June 30, 2008 or 2007.
