Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)	Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jefferson Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company” or “Jefferson Bancshares”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jefferson Federal Bank (the “Bank” or “Jefferson Federal”). The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements, presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), are unaudited and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2011. All dollar amounts, other than per-share amounts, are in thousands unless otherwise noted. The Company has adopted FASB ASC Topic 855 for Subsequent Events which did not significantly change the subsequent events the Company reports either through recognition or disclosure.

(2)	Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Jefferson Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jefferson Federal Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(3)	Use of Estimates

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 statement of condition dates and revenues and expenses for the periods shown. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the consolidated financial statements. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed real estate and deferred tax assets.

(4)	Limitation on Capital Distributions

Jefferson Federal may not pay dividends on its capital stock if its regulatory capital would thereby be reduced below the amount then required for the liquidation account established for the benefit of certain depositors of Jefferson Federal at the time of its conversion to stock form.

Under applicable regulations, Jefferson Federal is prohibited from making any capital distributions if, after making the distribution, the Bank would have: (i) total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8.0%; (ii) Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4.0%; or (iii) a leverage ratio of less than 4.0%.

Under the banking laws of the State of Tennessee, a Tennessee chartered savings bank may not declare dividends in any calendar year in which the dividend would exceed the total of its net income for that year, combined with its retained net income for the preceding two years, without the prior approval of the Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions.

(5)	Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share have been computed on the basis of dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, exclusive of unallocated employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) shares. Diluted earnings per common share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, stock options to purchase 525,287 shares were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The following table illustrates the number of weighted-average shares of common stock used in each corresponding earnings per common share calculation:

	Weighted-Average Shares
	Outstanding for the
	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2011		2010

Weighted average number of common shares used in computing basic earnings per common share		6,230,266		6,205,582
Effect of dilutive stock options		—		—

Weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares used in computing earnings per common share assuming dilution		6,230,266		6,205,582

(6)	Accounting for Allowance for Loan Losses and Impairment of a Loan

The allowance for loan and lease losses is an estimate of the losses that are inherent in the loan and lease portfolio. The allowance is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The Bank’s charge-off policy is consistent with bank regulatory standards. Generally, loans are charged off when the loan becomes over 120 days delinquent. Real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure is initially recorded at the lower of the amount of the loan or the fair value, less estimated selling costs. Any writedown to fair value is charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses. Any subsequent writedown of foreclosed real estate is charged against earnings.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard or special mention. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

In connection with assessing the allowance, we have established a systematic methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Loans are grouped into pools based on loan type and further segregated by loan grade. Loan pools include residential mortgage loans, multi-family loans, construction and land development loans, non-residential real estate loans (owner occupied and non-owner occupied), commercial loans and consumer loans. Commercial business loans and loans secured by commercial real estate are generally larger and involve a greater degree of risk than residential mortgage loans. In addition, loans secured by commercial real estate are more likely to be negatively impacted by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. Management utilizes a loan grading system and assigns a loan grade of “Pass”, “Watch”, “Special Mention”, “Substandard”, “Doubtful” or “Loss” based on risk characteristics of loans. Lending staff reviews the loan grades of customers on a regular basis and makes changes as needed given that the creditworthiness of customers may change over time.

Descriptions of loan grades are as follows:

Pass - loans in this category represent an acceptable risk and do not require heightened levels of monitoring by lending staff.

Watch - loans in this category represent an acceptable risk; however, require monitoring by lending staff due to potential weakness for any number of reasons.

Special Mention - loans in this category have potential weaknesses that may result in deteriorating prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard - loans in this category are inadequately protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or the collateral pledged. Borrowers in this category have a well-defined weakness(es) that jeopardize the proper liquidation of the debt.

Doubtful - loans classified as doubtful have a clear and defined weakness making the ultimate repayment of the loan, or portions thereof, highly improbable.

Loss - loans classified as “loss” are those of such little value that their continuance as bank assets is not warranted, even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. Charge off is required in the month this grade is assigned.

Specific valuation allowances are established for impaired loans. The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement on a timely basis. A specific reserve represents the difference between the recorded value of the loan and either its estimated fair value less estimated disposition costs, or the net present value as determined by a discounted cash flow analysis. On a quarterly basis, management evaluates individual loans and lending relationships which have outstanding principal balances of $500,000 or more and which are classified as either substandard, doubtful or loss according to the loan grading policy for impairment. Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) are also considered to be impaired, except for those that have been performing under the new terms for at least six consecutive months.

A TDR occurs when the Bank grants a concession to a borrower with financial difficulties that it would not otherwise consider. The Bank has adopted the guidance and definitions found in ASU 2011-02 in determining if a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and if a concession has been granted. The majority of the Bank’s TDRs involve a modification in loan terms such as a temporary period of interest only or extension of the maturity date. A TDR may be non-accruing or it may accrue interest. A nonaccrual TDR will be returned to accruing status at such time when the borrower successfully performs under the new terms for six consecutive months.

The accrual of interest on all loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent. All interest accrued but not collected for loans considered impaired, placed on non-accrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost-recovery method until the loan is returned to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when future payments are reasonably assured. Payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to the remaining principal balance of the loans.

The evaluation of the allowance for loan and lease losses is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The Company is subject to periodic examination by regulatory agencies, which may require the Company to record increases in the allowances based on the regulator’s evaluation of available information. There can be no assurance that the Company’s regulators will not require further increases to the allowances.

The following table summarizes the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2011:

(7)	Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Jefferson Bancshares 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 generally include commitments to originate mortgage loans. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is represented by the contractual amount and related accrued interest receivable of those instruments. The Company minimizes this risk by evaluating each borrower’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. Collateral held by the Company consists of a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s property. The amount of collateral obtained is based upon an appraisal of the property.

At September 30, 2011, we had approximately $7.6 million in commitments to extend credit, consisting of commitments to fund real estate loans. In addition to commitments to originate loans, we had $4.8 million in unused letters of credit and approximately $31.9 million in unused lines of credit.

(8)	Dividend Declaration

On February 2, 2010, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had voted to suspend the payment of the quarterly cash dividend on the Company’s common stock in an effort to conserve capital.

(9)	Stock Incentive Plans

The Company maintains stock-based benefit plans under which certain employees and directors are eligible to receive stock grants or options. Under the 2004 Stock-Based Benefit Plan, a maximum of 279,500 shares may be granted as restricted stock and a maximum of 698,750 shares may be issued through the exercise of nonstatutory or incentive stock options. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and an option’s maximum term is ten years.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of State of Franklin Bancshares, Inc. (“State of Franklin”) on October 31, 2008, each outstanding State of Franklin non-qualified option with an exercise price of $13.50 or less was converted into an option to purchase shares of Jefferson Bancshares common stock with an expiration date of October 31, 2011.

The table below summarizes the status of the Company’s stock option plans as of September 30, 2011.

The estimated fair value of stock options at grant date was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on market data as of January 29, 2004. An expected dividend yield of 1.17% and expected volatility of 7.01% were used to model the value. The risk free rate of return equaled 4.22%, which was based on the yield of a U.S. Treasury note with a term of ten years. The estimated time remaining before the expiration of the options equaled ten years.

The Company evaluates its securities with significant declines in fair value on a quarterly basis to determine whether they should be considered temporarily or other than temporarily impaired. The Company has recognized all of the unrealized losses reflected in the foregoing table in other comprehensive income. The company neither has the intent to sell nor is forecasting the need or requirement to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery.

GSE Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities – The unrealized losses of $20,000 for these four GSE mortgage-backed securities was caused by changes in market interest rates. The contractual cash flows of these investments are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. Government. Accordingly it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized bases of the Company’s investments. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases and it is not more likely than not the Company does not intend to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2011.

Private-Label Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities - The unrealized losses of $40,000 for this private-label mortgage-backed security is primarily driven by higher projected collateral losses, wider credit spreads and changes in interest rates as indicated by the annual independent valuation of the investment. The valuation methodology used is a future cash flow analysis which is built upon a model based on collateral-specific assumptions as they relate to the underlying loans. Given the expected improvement in the future performances of the expected cash flow, the unrealized losses are not deemed to be attributable to credit quality. Accordingly it is expected that the security would not be settled at a price less than the amortized bases of the Company’s investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to higher projected collateral losses, wider credit spreads and changes in interest rates and not credit quality, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost bases of this security.

Other Securities – The unrealized loss of $374,000 on this CDO was a result of updated variables and inputs that comprise the model used in the annual independent valuation of this security. The collateral for the CDO investment is comprised of trust preferred securities and senior and subordinated debt issued by banks, insurance companies, REIT’s, real estate operating companies and homebuilding companies. The CDO security is valued using three different scenarios as a predictor of future collateral performance and the fair market value determined accordingly. Given the expected improvement in the future performance of the collateral, the unrealized loss is not deemed to be attributable to credit quality. Since the Company does not intend to sell this investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2011.

Maturities of debt securities at September 30, 2011, are summarized as follows:

(11)	Fair Value Disclosures

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an 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. The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. When measuring fair value, the Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate and consistently applied. A hierarchy is also established under the standard and is used to prioritize valuation inputs into the following three levels used to measure fair value:

Level 1

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain U.S. Treasury, other U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2

Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities, corporate debt securities, derivative contracts and residential mortgage loans held-for-sale.

Level 3

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained residual interests in securitizations, residential mortgage servicing rights, and highly structured or long-term derivative contracts.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value.

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Level 2 investment securities classified as “available-for-sale” are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurements are based upon independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques with inputs that are observable in the market or that can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored entities, municipal bonds, bonds issued by government agencies, and corporate debt securities. Level 3 investment securities classified as “available-for-sale” are recorded at fair value on at least a semi-annual basis. Fair value measurements are based upon independent pricing models based upon unobservable inputs which require significant management judgment or estimation. Level 3 includes certain mortgage-backed securities and other debt securities.

Impaired Loans

The Company records loans at fair value on a non-recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows.

Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At September 30, 2011, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on either the fair value of the collateral or its liquidation value. Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Below is a table that presents information about certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

Securities available for sale		—	$	79,544	$	3,272	$	82,816	$	79,777

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the table below.

(12)	Subordinated Debt

As part of the State of Franklin acquisition, the Company acquired State of Franklin Statutory Trust II (the “Trust”) and assumed the Trust’s obligation with respect to certain capital securities described below. On December 13, 2006, State of Franklin issued $10.3 million of junior subordinated debentures to the Trust, a Delaware business trust wholly owned by State of Franklin. The Trust (a) sold $10.0 million of capital securities through its underwriters to institutional investors and upstreamed the proceeds to State of Franklin and (b) issued $310,000 of common securities to State of Franklin. The sole assets of the Trust are the $10.3 million of junior subordinated debentures issued by State of Franklin. The securities are redeemable at par after January 30, 2012, and have a final maturity of January 30, 2037. The interest is payable quarterly at a floating rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 1.7%.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

Net Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company reported a net loss of $958,000, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to net income of $259,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the corresponding period in 2010. Financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 were negatively impacted by a $3.0 million provision for loan losses compared to no recorded provision for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The increase in the provision for loan losses was the result of one lending relationship comprised of six commercial loans that became impaired during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Total interest income decreased $736,000, or 10.7%, to $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 due to a lower volume of interest-earning assets. The average balance of interest-earning assets declined $74.8 million, or 13.3%, to $487.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $562,000 for the same period in 2010, due primarily to declines in average loan balances and interest-earning deposits. The average yield on interest-earning assets was 5.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 4.85% for the same period in 2010.

Interest on loans decreased $710,000, or 11.3%, to $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to a lower average balance of loans. The average balance of loans decreased $45.2 million, or 10.8%, to $373.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, due to the combination of reduced loan demand, normal paydowns on existing loans, transfers to OREO and charge-offs. Reduced loan demand has resulted from continued economic weakness in the Bank’s market areas. The average yield on loans was 5.93% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 5.96% for the same period in 2010.

Interest on investment securities remained relatively stable at $484,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $482,000 for the same period in 2010. The average balance of investment securities increased $26.9 million to $81.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $54.6 million for the corresponding period in 2010. The average yield on investment securities decreased to 2.44% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 3.64% for the same period in 2010 due to proceeds from called securities reinvested at lower interest rates and changes in the composition of the portfolio.

Total interest expense decreased $1.1 million to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2.5 million for the corresponding period in 2010 primarily due to lower interest rates on deposits and a lower average balance of both deposits and FHLB borrowings. The average rate paid on deposits was 0.96% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 1.49% for the same period in 2010 due to downward repricing of interest bearing deposits in the current low interest rate environment. Average FHLB borrowings decreased $47.1 million to $37.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $85.1 million for the comparable period in 2010, while the average rate paid on borrowings decreased 20 basis points to 3.35%. Excess liquidity was used to repay FHLB advances during the prior fiscal year.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $3.0 million, compared to no recorded provision for the comparable period in 2010. The increase in the provision for loan losses was the result of one lending relationship comprised of six commercial loans that became impaired during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $963,000 compared to $901,000 for the comparable period in 2010. Management reviews the level of the allowance for loan losses on a monthly basis and establishes the provision for loan losses based on changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, the amount of impaired and classified loans, historical loan loss experience and other qualitative factors. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to recognize adjustments to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $213,000, or 54.6%, to $603,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $390,000 for the same period in 2010, due to a decrease in loss on sale of foreclosed real estate. Loss on sale of foreclosed real estate was $16,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $347,000 for the same period in 2010. Mortgage origination fee income decreased $45,000, or 32.1%, to $95,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 due to lower demand for residential mortgage refinancing. Service charges and fees declined $64,000, or 18.0%, to $292,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the prior year period.

The following table summarizes the dollar amounts for each category of noninterest income, and the dollar and percent changes for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

Income Taxes

Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $680,000 compared to income tax expense of $126,000 for the same period in 2010 due to lower taxable income.

Financial Condition

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Interest-Earning Deposits

Cash, cash equivalents, and interest-earning deposits decreased $8.2 million to $32.3 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $40.5 million at June 30, 2011 due to reinvestment of excess liquidity into the investment portfolio.

Investments

The Company’s investment security portfolio primarily consists of U.S. Government agency obligations, mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored entities, and municipal bonds. Investment securities increased to $79.8 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $74.8 million at June 30, 2011. Investments classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair market value and reflect an unrealized gain of $1.7 million, or $1.0 million net of taxes. The $5.0 million increase in the investment portfolio is primarily due to new purchases exceeding calls and paydowns of securities.

Loans

Net loans decreased $9.8 million to $368.8 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $378.6 million at June 30, 2011 due primarily to reduced loan demand combined with normal paydowns on existing loans, transfers to OREO and charge-offs. Reduced loan demand has resulted from continued economic weakness in the Bank’s market areas.

Loan Loss Allowance

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. We evaluate the need to establish reserves against losses on loans on a monthly basis. When additional reserves are necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings.

In connection with assessing the allowance, we have established a systematic methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The methodology utilizes a loan grading system which segments loans with similar risk characteristics. Management performs a monthly assessment of the allowance for loan losses based on the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, the amount of impaired and classified loans and historical loan loss experience. In addition, management considers other qualitative factors, including delinquency trends, economic conditions and loan considerations.

The FDIC and the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. The FDIC and/or the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions may require us to make additional provisions for loan losses based on judgments different from ours.

The allowance for loan losses was $10.2 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $8.2 million at June 30, 2011. Our allowance for loan losses represented 2.69% of total loans and 111.09% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2011 compared to 2.11% of total loans and 99.19% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2011.

Nonperforming Assets

We consider repossessed assets and nonaccrual loans to be nonperforming assets. Loans are reviewed on a monthly basis and are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the loan becomes more than 90 days delinquent. Nonaccrual loans totaled $9.2 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $8.2 million at June 30, 2011. The increase in nonaccrual loans is primarily due to an increase in nonaccrual real estate loans. Troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) loans were $14.4 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $15.8 million at June 30, 2011. In general, a TDR exists when we grant a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty that we normally would not otherwise consider. These concessions can result in avoidance of foreclosure proceedings and can result in the full repayment of the loan principal amount. The majority of the Bank’s TDRs involve a modification in loan terms such as a temporary period of interest only or extension of the maturity date. The majority of loans in this category are in compliance with their modified loan terms as of September 30, 2011. The amount of accruing TDR loans totaled $13.0 million at September 30, 2011. Foreclosed real estate amounted to $10.5 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $9.5 million at June 30, 2011. Foreclosed real estate is initially recorded at the lower of the amount of the loan or the fair value of the foreclosed real estate, less estimated selling costs. Any initial writedown to fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Any subsequent writedown of foreclosed real estate is charged against earnings. Foreclosed real estate at September 30, 2011 consisted of vacant land totaling $1.7 million, residential property totaling $2.3 million, subdivision developments totaling $3.2 million and commercial real estate totaling $3.3 million.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

We hold bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) to help offset the cost of employee benefit plans. BOLI provides earnings from accumulated cash value growth and provides tax advantages inherent in a life insurance contract. The cash surrender value of the BOLI at September 30, 2011 was $6.7 million.

Deposits

Total deposits decreased $10.1 million to $444.1 million at September 30, 2011 due to planned runoff of certificates of deposit through lower interest rates. Time deposits decreased $21.1 million, or 10.0%, to $189.8 million at September 30, 2011. Transaction accounts increased $11.0 million, or 4.5%, to $254.3 million at September 30, 2011.

Advances

FHLB advances remained unchanged at $37.9 million at September 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2011. Additional FHLB advances may be utilized in the future to manage daily liquidity needs and to support loan growth.

Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ equity was $55.6 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $55.9 million at June 30, 2011. Unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, in the available-for-sale investment portfolio are reflected as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. At September 30, 2011, the adjustment to stockholders’ equity was a net unrealized gain of $1.0 million compared to a net unrealized gain of $459,000 at June 30, 2011. On November 13, 2008, the Company announced its third stock repurchase program pursuant to which up to 620,770 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock may be repurchased. At September 30, 2011, 438,153 shares remained eligible for repurchase under the current stock repurchase program.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of investment securities and borrowings from the FHLB of Cincinnati. 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.

Investments in liquid assets are regularly adjusted based on our assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term U.S. Government agency obligations.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and marketable investment securities that are not pledged as collateral. The levels of these assets are dependent on operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $32.3 million compared to $40.5 million at June 30, 2011. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $79.8 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $74.8 million at June 30, 2011. At September 30, 2011, approximately $14.4 million of the investment portfolio was pledged as collateral for municipal deposits, FHLB borrowings and repurchase agreements. The Company’s external sources of liquidity include borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, the Federal Reserve, and other correspondent banks. FHLB advances remained unchanged at $37.9 million at September 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2011. At September 30, 2011, borrowing capacity with the FHLB totaled $42.8 million based on pledged collateral, of which $5.2 million was unused. Additional eligible collateral may be transferred to the FHLB to increase borrowing capacity. The Company can borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s discount window to meet short-term liquidity requirements. At September 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $19.6 million of unused borrowing capacity based on pledged collateral with the Federal Reserve Bank discount window. In addition, the Company also maintains federal funds lines with two correspondent banks totaling $18.5 million under which no borrowings were outstanding. These federal funds lines may be terminated at any time and may not be outstanding for more than 14 consecutive days.

The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments. At September 30, 2011, we had approximately $7.6 million in loan commitments, consisting of commitments to fund real estate loans. In addition to commitments to originate loans, we had $4.8 million in unused letters of credit and approximately $31.9 million in unused lines of credit. At September 30, 2011, we had approximately $128.5 million in certificates of deposit due within one year and $254.3 million in other deposits without specific maturities. We believe, based on past experience, that a significant portion of those deposits will remain with us. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive and to increase core deposits. Occasionally, we offer promotional rates on certain deposit products in order to attract deposits. We experienced a net decrease in total deposits of $10.1 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2011.

Jefferson Bancshares is a separate entity and apart from Jefferson Federal and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, Jefferson Bancshares is responsible for the payment of dividends declared for its shareholders, and interest and principal on outstanding debt. At times, Jefferson Bancshares has repurchased and retired outstanding shares of its stock pursuant to share repurchase programs adopted by the Board of Directors. Substantially all of Jefferson Bancshares’ revenues are obtained from dividends. Payment of such dividends to Jefferson Bancshares by Jefferson Federal is limited under Tennessee law. The amount that can be paid in any calendar year, without prior approval from the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions, cannot exceed the total of Jefferson Federal’s net income for the year combined with its retained net income for the preceding two years. Jefferson Bancshares believes that such restriction will not have an impact on its ability to meet its ongoing cash obligations.

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, unused lines of credit, amounts due mortgagors on construction loans, amounts due on commercial loans and commercial letters of credit.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Capital Compliance

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the banking regulatory agencies. As of September 30, 2011, Jefferson Federal met each of its capital requirements. The following table presents our capital position relative to our regulatory capital requirements at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011:

Under the capital regulations of the FDIC, Jefferson Federal must satisfy various capital requirements. Banks supervised by the FDIC must maintain a minimum leverage ratio of core (“Tier I”) capital to average adjusted assets of at least 3.00% if a particular institution has the highest examination rating and at least 4.00% for all others. At September 30, 2011, Jefferson Federal’s leverage capital ratio was 8.49%. The FDIC’s risk-based capital rules require banks supervised by the FDIC to maintain a ratio of risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.00%. Risk-based capital for Jefferson Federal is defined as Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital. At September 30, 2011, Jefferson Federal had a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 12.66%. At September 30, 2011, the Bank met the minimum regulatory capital requirements, and the Bank was “well-capitalized” within the meaning of federal regulatory requirements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For a discussion of the Company’s asset and liability management policies, as well as the potential impact of interest rate changes upon the market value of the Company’s portfolio equity, see Item 7A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011. Management, as part of its regular practices, performs periodic reviews of the impact of interest rate changes upon net interest income and the market value of the Company’s portfolio equity. Based on, among other factors, such reviews, management believes that there have been no material changes in the market risk of the Company’s asset and liability position since June 30, 2011.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, based on that evaluation, no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
