BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Cullman Bancorp, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated financial statements of Cullman Bancorp, Inc. (“the Bancorp” or the “Company”) include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary, Cullman Savings Bank (“the Bank”) and its 99% ownership of Cullman Village Apartments (collectively referred to herein as “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in the consolidation. The Company is majority owned (53.9%) by Cullman Savings Bank, MHC. These financial statements do not include the transactions and balances of Cullman Savings Bank, MHC.

Cullman Bancorp, Inc., headquartered in Cullman, Alabama was formed to serve as the stock holding company for Cullman Savings Bank as part of the mutual-to-stock conversion of Cullman Savings Bank. On October 8, 2009, the Bank completed its conversion and reorganization from a mutual savings bank into a two-tier mutual holding company. In accordance with the plan of reorganization, Cullman Bancorp, Inc. (of which Cullman Savings Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary) issued and sold shares of capital stock to eligible depositors of Cullman Savings Bank and others.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. All interim amounts have not been audited, and the results of operations for the interim periods herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K Annual Report of Cullman Bancorp, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2010.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2010, FASB issued an update to previously issued accounting standards with regard to disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. This update is intended to provide additional information to assist financial statement users in assessing an entity’s credit risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this update encourage, but do not require, comparative disclosures for earlier reporting periods that ended before initial adoption. However, an entity should provide comparative disclosures for those reporting periods ending after initial adoption. The Company has complied with all disclosure requirements under this update.

In April 2011, FASB issued an update to previously issued accounting standards with regard to accounting for troubled debt restructurings. This update requires that when evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both (i) the restructuring constitutes a concession and (ii) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. In evaluating whether a concession has been granted, a creditor must evaluate whether (i) a debtor has access to funds at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics as the restructured debt in order to determine if the restructuring would be considered to be at a below-market rate, indicating that the creditor has granted a concession, (ii) a temporary or permanent increase in contractual interest rate as a result of a restructuring may be considered a concession because the new contractual interest rate on the restructured debt is still below the market interest rate for new debt with similar risk characteristics, and (iii) a restructuring that results in a delay in payment is either significant and is a concession or is insignificant and is not a concession. In evaluating whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties, a creditor may conclude that a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties, even though the debtor is not currently in payment default.

A creditor should evaluate whether it is probable that the debtor would be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without a modification of the debt. The provisions of this update are effective for the first interim period beginning on or after June 15, 2011 and should be applied retroactively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The Company does not believe that compliance with this update will have a material effect on the financial statements.

EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is determined by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. Diluted EPS is determined by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common share equivalents. The factors used in the earnings per common share computation follow:


	Three months ended						Six months ended

Options to purchase 123,124 shares of the Company’s common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $10.30 per share were outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Stock options for 115,523 and 119,287 were not included in computed diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 because they were antidilutive. There were no potential dilutive common shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Carrying amounts of securities pledged to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $7,384 and $6,320, respectively. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity.

The following table shows securities with unrealized losses at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position:

There were nine US Government agency securities and one municipal security with unrealized losses at June 30, 2011. None of the unrealized losses for these securities have been recognized into net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 because the issuer’s bonds are of high credit quality, management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or reset date.

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. The Company considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Additionally, the Company considers its intent to sell or whether it will be more likely than not it will be required to sell the security prior to the security’s anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal Government agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.

(All amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

Nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $595 and $221, respectively. These loans are disclosed by portfolio segment above in the “90 days or more past due” column. Additional required disclosure by class was deemed immaterial to the financial statements. Non-performing loans and loans past due 90 days still on accrual include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

Troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $5,652 and $5,459, respectively. The amount of impairment allocated to loans whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $210 and $35, respectively. The Company has committed to no additional amounts at June 30, 2011 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company utilizes a grading system whereby all loans are assigned a grade based on the risk profile of each loan. Loan grades are determined based on an evaluation of relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. All loans, regardless of size, are analyzed and are given a grade based upon the management’s assessment of the ability of borrowers to service their debts. Loans with balances greater than $100 are evaluated on a quarterly basis and smaller loans are reviewed as necessary based on change in borrower status or payment history.

The Company uses the following definitions for loan grades:

•

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

•

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

•

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above are graded Pass. These loans are included within groups of homogenous pools of loans based upon portfolio segment and class for estimation of the allowance for loan losses on a collective basis. Loan relationships graded substandard and doubtful of $100 or more are individually evaluated for impairment.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as foreclosed real estate are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

valuation allowances of $210 and $120 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The impact to the provision to loan losses from the change in the valuation allowances was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and an increase in the provision of $24 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Foreclosed real estate, which is measured at fair value less costs to sell, had a net carrying amount of $1,702 and $1,997 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The net carrying amount consists of the outstanding balance net of a valuation allowance. The outstanding balance and valuation allowance of other real estate owned at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $2,007 and $305, and $2,206 and $209, respectively. The resulting write-downs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $96 and $209, respectively.

Loans held for sale, which are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, had fair values in excess of cost at December 31, 2010 and were therefore carried at cost with no fair value valuation allowance at both period ends.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair value of the Company’s on-balance sheet financial instruments at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are summarized below:

Accrued interest payable		234		234		247		247

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, interest bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. The methods for determining the fair values for securities were described previously. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk (including consideration of widening credit spreads). Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of restricted equity securities due to restrictions placed on transferability. The fair value of off-balance sheet items is not consider material.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

In December of 2010, the stockholders approved the Cullman Bancorp, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) for employees and directors of the Company. The Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 172,373 shares of the Company’s common stock, with no more than 49,249 of shares as restricted stock awards and 123,124 as stock options, either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. The exercise price of options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan may not be less than the fair market value on the date the stock option is granted. The compensation committee of the board of directors has sole discretion to determine the amount and to whom equity incentive awards are granted.

On January 18, 2011, the compensation committee of the board of directors approved the issuance of 123,124 options to purchase Company stock and 49,249 shares of restricted stock. Stock options and restricted stock vest over a five year period, and stock options expire ten years after issuance. Apart from the vesting schedule for both stock options and restricted stock, there are no performance-based conditions or any other material conditions applicable to the awards issued. At June 30, 2011 there were no shares available for future grants under this plan.

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2011:

(1)	Based on closing price of $13.00 per share on June 30, 2011.

Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the current market value and the exercise price.

The fair value for each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the following assumptions. The Company uses the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant to determine the risk-free interest rate. The expected dividend yield is estimated using the projected annual dividend level and recent stock price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Expected stock volatility is based on historical volatilities of the SNL Financial Index of Thrifts. The expected life of the options is calculated based on the “simplified” method as provided for under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(All amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the years indicated were as follows:


	2011
Risk-free interest rate		2.86	%
Expected dividend yield		4.37	%
Expected stock volatility		10.29
Expected life (years)		7
Fair value	$	0.675

There were no options that vested during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Stock-based compensation expense for stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $4 and $9, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options was $75 at June 30, 2011 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.5 years.

The following table summarizes non-vested restricted stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2011:


	2011
Balance - beginning of year		—
Granted		49,249
Forfeited		—
Earned and issued		—

Balance - end of period		49,249

The fair value of the restricted stock awards is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period (generally five years) and is based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant multiplied by the number of shares granted that are expected to vest. The weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted stock granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $10.30 per share or $507. Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock included in non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $25 and $51, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense for nonvested restricted stock awards was $456 and is expected to be recognized over 4.5 years.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF CULLMAN BANCORP, INC.

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of such words as estimate, project, believe, intend, anticipate, plan, seek, expect and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include:

•

statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

•

statements regarding our business plans and prospects and growth and operating strategies;

•

statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

•

estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report.

The following factors, among others, could cause the actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

•

our ability to manage our operations during the current United States weak economic condition;

•

our ability to manage the risk from the growth of our commercial real estate lending;

•

significant increases in our loan losses, exceeding our allowance;

•

changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments and inflation;

•

adverse changes in the financial industry, securities, credit and national and local real estate markets (including real estate values);

•

general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market area;

•

changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits, including lack of consumer confidence in financial institutions;

•

potential increases in deposit assessments;

•

significantly increased competition among depository and other financial institutions;

•

changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies and the authoritative accounting and auditing bodies;

•

legislative or regulatory changes, including increased banking assessments, that adversely affect our business and earnings; and

•

changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans.

Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

On April 27, 2011, several areas in the State of Alabama, including Cullman County, were struck by significant storms, which included a number of tornadoes. While none of the banking offices of the Company were significantly damaged and all banking operations have resumed, the local economy and many of our customers have been adversely affected by the storm. In addition, the collateral properties on many of our loans have been destroyed or significantly damaged. The impact of government assistance, private insurance and rebuilding efforts are uncertain at this time. While we believe that the storm is likely to have an impact on the Company, we are unable to quantify the financial impact at this time.

Critical Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in Form 10-K Annual Report of Cullman Bancorp, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010

Our total assets increased to $233.8 million at June 30, 2011 from $223.9 million at December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $14.3 million, or 561.2%, partially offset by decreases in loans of $3.5 million, or 1.98%. The most significant source of the increase came from an increase in federal funds sold of $14.7 million to $14.9 million from $174,000 at December 31, 2010. The increase in federal funds sold reflected an increase in our deposits of $8.5 million to $144.9 million at June 30, 2011 from $136.4 million at December 31, 2010 and a lower demand for loans.

Total equity increased to $39.5 million at June 30, 2011 from $38.3 million at December 31, 2010. The net increase of $1.3 million, or 3.30%, was primarily attributable to net income of $1.0 million and a net change in accumulated other comprehensive income of $311,000 partially offset by $125,000 of dividends declared during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

General. We recorded net income of $490,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to net income of $510,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to a $53,000 decrease in noninterest income and an increase in income tax expense of $19,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, offset partially by an increase of $49,000 in net interest income after the provision for loan losses.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $110,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting a decrease in the yield on interest earning assets to 5.66% from 6.04%, offsetting the increase in the average balance of interest earning assets to $208.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $202.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in market interest rates contributed to the downward re-pricing of a portion of our existing assets and lower rates for new assets.

Interest income on loans decreased slightly by $98,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting a decrease in the average yield on loans to 6.22% from 6.46%, which offset the increase in the average balance of our loans to $175.2 million from $174.6 million. The lower average yield on our loan portfolio reflected the impact of decreases in market interest rates on our adjustable-rate loan products, as well as decreased rates on newly originated loans with interest rates based on lower market interest rates.

Interest income on investment securities decreased slightly to $222,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $238,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease reflected a decrease in the yield on securities to 3.85% for the three months ended June 30, 2011from 4.74% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in yield offset the increase in the average balance of securities of $3.0 million for the same periods.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $190,000, or 18.2%, to $851,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease reflected a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits and borrowings to 1.91% in the 2011 period from 2.35% in the 2010 period. The decrease in the average rate paid on deposits more than offset the increase in the average balances of deposits of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 over the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Interest expense on certificates of deposit decreased to $359,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $433,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting a decrease in the average cost of certificates of deposit to 1.78% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with 2.26% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in the average cost of certificates of deposits more than offset the increase in their average balances of $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in the average cost of such certificates reflected the re-pricing in response to interest rate cuts initiated by the Federal Reserve Board during 2010 and the lower market interest rates resulting from such cuts.

Interest expense on NOW and demand deposits, along with savings deposits and money market deposits decreased to $63,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $94,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting a decrease of $2.6 million in the average balance of such deposits as well as a decrease in the average cost of such deposits to 0.50% from 0.72%.

Interest expense on borrowings, primarily advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, decreased to $429,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $514,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting a decrease in the average rate paid on such borrowings to 3.59% from 4.26%.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase reflected an increase in our interest rate spread to 3.75% from 3.69%. The ratio of our average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 1.17X for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 1.14X for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Our net interest margin also increased to 4.02% from 3.98%. The increases in our interest rate spread and net interest margin reflected the continued re-pricing of our deposits at lower rates in the decreasing interest rate environment.

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $107,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $76,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The allowance for loan losses was $1.0 million or 0.58% of total loans at June 30, 2011 compared to $796,000, or 0.46% of total loans at June 30, 2010. The increase in our provision was attributed to the slight increase in historical losses over the previous four quarters at June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010, as well as the increase in qualitative factor adjustments for one-to-four family residential and consumer loan portfolios. We had $5.6 million in troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2011 and no troubled debt restructures at June 30,

2010. Our non-accrual loans have increased to $595,000 at June 30, 2011 from $221,000 at December 31, 2010. Our foreclosed real estate has decreased slightly to $1.7 million at June 30, 2011 from $2.0 million at December 31, 2010. We used the same methodology in assessing the allowance for both periods. To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased to $184,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $237,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in noninterest income was due primarily to a decrease in the gain on sales of mortgage loans of $44,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with June 30, 2010.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased slightly by $3,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 over the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease reflected overall decreases in most of our operating expenses, most specifically occupancy and equipment and professional and supervisory fees of $22,000 and $26,000, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2011 over 2010. These decreases offset an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $62,000, or 8.11%. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is the result of increased bonus accruals stemming from increased profitability of the Company and compensation expense related to our stock based compensation plans related to stock options and restricted stock awarded during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Income Tax Expense. The provision for income taxes was $283,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $264,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Our effective tax rate increased to 36.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 34.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

General. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 remained relatively unchanged as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net interest income after the provision for loan losses of $212,000 was offset by a decrease in noninterest income of $78,000 and an increase in noninterest expense of $125,000.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased slightly by $98,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting a decrease in yields on interest earning assets to 5.80%, which more than offset the increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $4.5 million to $206.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $202.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in market interest rates contributed to the downward re-pricing of a portion of our existing assets and lower rates for new assets.

Interest income on loans decreased slightly by $88,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting a decrease in the average yield on loans to 6.28% from 6.45%, which offset the increase in the average balance of our loans to $176.1 million from $174.2 million. The lower average yield on our loan portfolio reflected the impact of decreases in market interest rates on our adjustable-rate loan products, as well as decreased rates on newly originated loans with interest rates based on lower market interest rates.

Interest income on investment securities decreased $16,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared with June 30, 2010. The decrease in the yield on securities available for sale to 3.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 4.75% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 more than offset the increase of $3.5 million in their average balances.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $376,000, or 18.0%, to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease reflected a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits and borrowings to 1.95% in the 2011 period from 2.37% in the 2010 period and a decrease in the average balances of deposits of $90,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 over the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Interest expense on certificates of deposit decreased to $730,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $868,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting a decrease in the average cost of certificates of deposit to 1.83% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with 2.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in the average cost of certificates of deposits more than offset the increase in their average balances of $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in the average cost of such certificates reflected the re-pricing in response to interest rate cuts initiated by the Federal Reserve Board during 2010 and the lower market interest rates resulting from such cuts.

Interest expense on NOW and demand deposits, along with savings deposits and money market deposits decreased to $132,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $199,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting a decrease of $2.9 million in the average balance of such deposits as well as a decrease in the average cost of such deposits to 0.54% from 0.77%.

Interest expense on borrowings, primarily advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, decreased to $853,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting a decrease in the average rate paid on such borrowings to 3.63% from 4.20% and a decrease in the average balance of $2.2 million.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase reflected an increase in our interest rate spread to 3.85% from 3.65%. The ratio of our average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 1.16X for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 1.14X for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Our net interest margin also increased to 4.12% from 3.94%. The increases in our interest rate spread and net interest margin reflected the continued re-pricing of our deposits at lower rates in the decreasing interest rate environment.

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $199,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $133,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The allowance for loan losses was $1.0 million or 0.58% of total loans at June 30, 2011 compared to $796,000, or 0.46% of total loans at June 30, 2010. The increase in our provision was attributed to the slight increase in historical losses over the previous four quarters at June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010, as well as the increase in qualitative factor adjustments for one-to-four family residential and consumer loan portfolios. We had $5.6 million in troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2011 and no troubled debt restructures at June 30, 2010. Our non-accrual loans have increased to $595,000 at June 30, 2011 from $221,000 at December 31, 2010. Our foreclosed real estate has decreased slightly to $1.7 million at June 30, 2011 from $2.0 million at December 31, 2010. We used the same methodology in assessing the allowance for both periods. To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased to $382,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $460,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in noninterest income was due primarily to a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts of $18,000, and decreases in the gain on sales of securities of $11,000 and mortgage loans of $51,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with June 30, 2010.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $125,000, or 4.65%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $149,000, or 10.32%, and professional and supervisory fees of $20,000, or 9.40%, offset partially by a decrease in occupancy and equipment expense of $30,000, or 9.10%. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was the result of increased bonus accruals stemming from increased profitability of the Company and compensation expense related to our stock based compensation plans related to stock options and restricted stock awarded during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Income Tax Expense. The provision for income taxes was $586,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $564,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Our effective tax rate increased slightly to 36.6% from 35.4% for the same periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of funds are deposits and the proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and 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 generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive within our market and to increase core deposit relationships.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management. We adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon management’s assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) yields available on interest-earning deposits and investment securities, and (iv) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning overnight deposits, federal funds sold, and short and intermediate-term U.S. Government sponsored agencies and mortgage-backed securities of short duration. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, we have additional borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. At June 30, 2011, we had $47.0 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and an available borrowing limit of an additional $41.5 million.

Common Stock Dividend Policy. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company declared a dividend of $0.08 per share, or $125,000 on all outstanding shares, except for 1,007,012 of the 1,382,012 shares of the Company’s common stock held by Cullman Savings Bank, MHC. The OTS granted the Cullman Savings Bank, MHC a waiver on payment of the dividend on that portion of the shares. The determination of future dividends on the Company’s common stock will depend on conditions existing at that time.
