NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MSB Financial, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Marshall Savings Bank, F.S.B. after the elimination of significant intercompany transactions and accounts. The initial capitalization of MSB Financial and its acquisition of Marshall Savings Bank took place on February 6, 1995.
These interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules for quarterly financial information without audit and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our financial position at September 30, 2003 and the results of operations and its cash flows for the periods presented. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to contain all the necessary disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles that might otherwise be necessary in the circumstances and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the annual report of MSB Financial, Inc. for the year ended June 30, 2003. The results of the periods presented are not necessarily representative of the results of operations and cash flows which may be expected for the entire year.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill resulted from our acquisition of a branch on March 15, 2002 and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and any such impairment will be recognized in the period identified. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 147 on October 1, 2002, the year to date financial statements reflect the reversal of unidentified intangible amortization totaling $68,000 recorded during the three month period ended September 30, 2002.
SFAS No. 148: SFAS No. 123, which became effective for stock-based compensation awarded during fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, required annual proforma disclosures for companies that do not adopt its fair value accounting method for stock-based employee compensation for awards granted in the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1994. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS 123 effective the first quarter of 2003 and requires quarterly pro forma disclosures. Accordingly, the following pro forma information presents net income and earnings per share had the fair value method been used to measure compensation cost for stock option plans. The exercise price of options granted is equivalent to the market value of underlying stock at the grant date. Accordingly, compensation cost actually recognized for stock options was $0 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. No options were granted during the three month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Had compensation cost for stock options been measured using the fair value method, net income and basic and diluted earnings per share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below. The pro forma effect may increase in the future if more options are granted.

Forward-Looking Statements Disclosure
This document, including information incorporated by reference, and future filings by MSB Financial, Inc. on Form 10-KSB, Form 10-QSB, and Form 8-K and future oral and written statements by MSB Financial and its management, may contain forward-looking statements about MSB Financial which we believe are within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements with respect to anticipated future operating and financial performance, including revenue creation, lending origination, operating efficiencies, loan sales, charge-offs and loan loss provisions, growth opportunities, interest rates, acquisition and divestiture opportunities, and synergies, efficiencies, cost savings and funding advantages expected to be realized from prior acquisitions. These forward-looking statements are based on currently available competitive, financial and economic data and management's views and assumptions regarding future events. These forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that actual results may differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, MSB Financial cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
Many of these forward-looking statements appear in this document under Part I, Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis." Words such as may, could, should, would, believe, anticipate, estimate, expect, intend, plan and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. The important factors we discussed below, as well as other factors discussed elsewhere in this document and factors identified in our filings with the SEC and those presented elsewhere by our management from time to time, could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this document.

- the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board;
- financial market, monetary and interest rate fluctuations, particularly the relative relationship of short-term interest rates to long-term interest rates;
- the timely development of and acceptance of our new products and services of MSB Financial and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors' products and services;
- the impact of changes in financial services laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, accounting standards, banking, securities and insurance); legislative or regulatory changes may adversely affect the business in which we are engaged;
- the impact of technological changes;
- changes in consumer spending and savings habits; and
- our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.
MSB Financial disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt of new information, or otherwise.
Financial Condition
Total assets decreased $5.2 million to $98.0 million from June 30, 2003 to September 30, 2003. The decrease in assets was primarily the result of
a decrease in securities available for sale of $3.8 million or 23.7%, the result of withdrawals from an adjustable rate mortgage fund. In addition, we also experienced a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 million or 26.7%. These proceeds were primarily used to fund scheduled payments on FHLB advances totaling $1.2 million and to fund a $2.3 million decrease in deposits, due to customer withdrawals from certificate of deposit accounts during the period.
We also experienced a decrease in net loans, including loans held for sale, of $231,000 for the period ended September 30, 2003 as compared to June 30, 2003. The decrease in net loans, including loans held for sale was primarily due to a decrease in loan refinancing activity during the current period, the result of steady mortgage interest rates. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in loans held for sale of $1.3 million at September 30, 2003 as compared to June 30, 2003, the result of loan sales during the current quarter to Freddie Mac. As a result, mortgage loans serviced for others increased from $92.5 million at June 30, 2003 to $94.3 million at September 30, 2003, an increase of $1.8 million or 1.9%. Offsetting the decrease in loans held for sale was an increase in net loans of $1.1 million, primarily due to an increase of $1.2 million in one- to four-family construction loans.
Total liabilities decreased $5.4 million to $82.6 million from June 30, 2003 to September 30, 2003. In addition to the decreases in FHLB advances and deposits discussed above we experienced a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $1.5 million. The decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities was due to a decrease of $1.1 million in funds due to Freddie Mac on the payoff of serviced loans at quarter end with funds remitted after September 30, 2003. We also experienced a decrease in advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance of $392,000, the result of the payment of summer personal property taxes for real estate mortgage loan customers.
Net income, offset by the payment of dividends on common stock, contributed to a net increase in shareholders equity of $208,000.
Results of Operations
General. Our results of operations depend primarily upon the level of net interest income, which is the difference between the average yield earned on loans and securities, interest-bearing deposits, and other interest-earning assets, and the average rate paid on deposits and borrowed funds, as well as competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand, and deposit flows. Our results of operations are also dependent upon the level of our noninterest income, including fee income and service charges, mortgage banking activity and the level of our noninterest expense, including general and administrative expenses. We, like other financial institutions, are subject to interest rate risk to the degree that our interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different times, or on a different basis, than our interest-earning assets.
Net Income. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was $331,000, a decrease of 29.4% as compared to net income of $469,000 for the same period ended September 30, 2002. Reasons for the decrease in net income are discussed in detail below.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased $155,000, or 14.8%, to $892,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same three month period in 2002. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in interest and dividend income of $349,000 during the three month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest on loans receivable, including fees, of $329,000, or 21.0%, primarily due to decrease in mortgage loan interest rates. The weighted average yield on our loan portfolio for the three month period ended September 30, 2003 decreased 72 basis points to 6.75% from 7.57% for the same period ended September 30, 2002.
We also experienced a decrease in total interest expense of $194,000, or 30.4%, for the three month period ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same three month period in 2002. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a decrease in interest paid on FHLB advances due to a decrease in the average FHLB advance principal balance, as well as a general decrease in interest rates on deposit accounts. During the three month period ended September 30, 2003 FHLB advance interest expense and deposit interest expense decreased $59,000 and $136,000 respectively, when compared to the same 2002 period. The weighted average interest rate paid on deposits for the three month period ended September 30, 2003 was 1.69% compared to 2.45% for the period ended September 30, 2002, a decrease of 76basis points.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is a result of our periodic analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses increased to $30,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2003 as compared to $15,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2002, due to our continuing reassessment of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. At September 30, 2003, the allowance for loan losses totaled $670,000 or 0.90% of net loans receivable and 65.18% of total non-performing loans. At June 30, 2003, our allowance for loan losses totaled $639,000, or 0.85% of net loans receivable and 69.38% of total non-performing loans.
We have established an allowance for loan losses based on an analysis of risk factors in the loan portfolio. This analysis includes the evaluation of concentrations of credit, past loss experience, current economic conditions, amount and composition of the loan portfolio, estimated fair value of underlying collateral, delinquencies, and other factors. Accordingly, the calculation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses was not based directly on our level of non-performing assets.
Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans, loans 90 days or more delinquent and still accruing interest, foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets. Loans greater than 90 days past due, and other designated loans of concern, are placed on non-accrual status, unless it is determined that the loans are well collateralized and in the process of collection. The following table presents non-performing assets for the periods indicated.
| September 30, 2003 |
June 30, 2003 |
|
| Non-accrual loans | $ 33,000 | $ 33,000 |
| Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest | 995,000 |
888,000 |
| Total non-performing loans | 1,028,000 | 921,000 |
| Foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets | 401,000 |
330,000 |
| Total non-performing assets | $ 1,429,000 |
$ 1,251,000 |
| Total non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans | 1.39% |

| Total non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets | 1.46% |
1.21% |
Non-performing loans at September 30, 2003 increased $107,000 to $1.0 million as compared to June 30, 2003. This increase was primarily due to five loans to one borrower, secured by four investment properties, totaling $424,000. At June 30, 2003, these loans were 60 days delinquent and classified as impaired, but at September 30, 2003 were 90 days delinquent. Management feels that these loans are well collateralized and does not expect to incur any losses. We will continue to monitor these loans through our standard delinquency process.
Foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets at September 30, 2003 increased $71,000. This increase was primarily the result of two loans to one borrower, totaling $87,000, secured by two commercial properties that were transferred to real estate held in redemption during the current period. Offsetting this increase was the sale of a commercial real estate owned property recorded as $16,000.
Subsequent to September 30, 2003, we transferred two loans totaling $1.3 million to real estate owned, the result of a deed transfer. These loans, which were classified as impaired at September 30, 2003, are to one borrower and secured by a unique one- to four-family property comprised of a second home for the borrower and a one- to four-family rental property. Management feels that these loans are well collateralized and does not expect to incur any losses.
We will continue to monitor the allowance for loan losses and make future additions to the allowance through the provision for loan losses as economic conditions dictate. Although we maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level which we consider to be adequate to provide for losses, there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods. In addition, our determination as to the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to review by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as part of their examination process, which may result in the establishment of an additional allowance based upon their judgment of the information available to them at the time of their examination.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income consists primarily of gains on the sale of loans, loan servicing fees, service charges on deposit accounts and other fees. Noninterest income decreased $21,000 during the three month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2002. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in loan servicing fees during the current period of $38,000, due to accelerated amortization of mortgage loan servicing rights during the 2003 period, due to increased sold loan payoffs.
In addition to the decrease in loan servicing fees mentioned above, we also experienced a decrease in gains on the sale of securities available for sale of $20,000. This decrease was the result of sales from an adjustable rate mortgage fund at unit prices below the cost price.
Offsetting the above mentioned decreases in noninterest income was an increase in net gains on sales of loans held for sale of $37,000, due to strong loan sales during the period to Freddie Mac. During the three month period ended September 30, 2003, we also recorded commission income from our new investment program affiliated with LPL Financial of $12,000, as compared to no income during the three month period ended September 30, 2002. We also experienced an increase in service charges on deposit accounts of $9,000 during the three month period ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same period during 2002.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was $893,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to $877,000 reported for the same prior year period, an increase of $16,000 or 1.9%. The largest component of noninterest expense, salaries and employee benefits, increased $11,000 or 2.8% during the three month period ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. The most significant factor causing the increase in salaries and employee benefits was an increase in salaries and associated payroll taxes of $14,000, the result of annual salary adjustments effective July 1, 2003. Offsetting this increase was a decrease in group insurance costs of $8,200 during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2002. This decrease was the result of an increase in the employee health insurance cost share percentage effective October 1, 2002.
Professional fee expense increased $28,000, or 79.1%, during the three month period ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period during 2002. This increase was primarily due to the payment of fees for work related to our pending merger with Monarch Community Bancorp.
Offsetting the above mentioned increases in noninterest expense were decreases in other expenses of $28,000, or 16.2% and occupancy and equipment expense for $14,000, or 14.4% during the three month period ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same period during 2002. The decrease in other expenses was primarily due to a decrease in real estate owned expense of $24,000 due to a decrease in real estate owned properties.
Federal Income Tax Expense. Federal income tax expense decreased $70,000 for the three month period month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002 due to decreases in income before federal income tax expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest repayments on loans, sales of loans, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. While scheduled loan repayments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan prepayments are influenced more by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition.
Federal regulations require that we maintain minimum levels of liquid assets to ensure the safety and soundness of the institution. Liquid assets for purposes of this ratio include cash, certain time deposits, U.S. Government, government agency and other securities and obligations generally having remaining maturities of less than five years. At September 30, 2003, our liquidity ratio was 31.54%.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long term responsibility of management. Investments in liquid assets are adjusted based upon our assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions and securities, and the objective of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquidity is invested generally in interest-earning overnight deposits of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. We also use our borrowing capability through the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis to meet liquidity needs.
If funds are required beyond the ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the FHLB which provide an additional source of funds. FHLB advances total $10.1 million at September 30, 2003. We also have $17.7 million of additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB at September 30, 2003. We use these advances primarily to fund 15 year fixed-rate and adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans held in our portfolio. These advances are secured by a blanket lien on our first mortgage loans. Refer to Note 9 of the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC for the year ended June 30, 2003 for further information regarding FHLB advances. We also use our liquidity resources to meet ongoing commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and deposit withdrawals, and to meet operating expenses. At September 30, 2003, we had outstanding commitments to extend credit which amounted to $8.4 million (including $6.1 million in available home equity lines of credit). We believe that loan repayments and other sources of funds, including Federal Home Loan Bank advances, will be adequate to meet our foreseeable liquidity needs.
Federally insured savings institutions are required to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital. If the requirement is not met, regulatory authorities may take legal or administrative actions, including restrictions on growth or operations or, in extreme cases, seizure. As of September 30, 2003 and June 30, 2003, Marshall Savings was categorized as well capitalized. Our actual and required capital amounts and ratios at September 30, 2003 and June 30, 2003 are presented below:

New Accounting Standards
The FASB recently issued two new accounting standards, Statement 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and Statement 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equities, both of which generally became effective in the quarter beginning July 1, 2003. Because we do not have these instruments, the new accounting standards will not materially affect our operating results or financial condition.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Section 13(a)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")), as of September 30, 2003, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of our senior management. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to our management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2003, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We intend to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and to improve our controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that we may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material non-financial information concerning the Company's business. While we believe the present design of our disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve our goal, future events affecting our business may cause us to modify our disclosure controls and procedures.
