MAYFLOWER BANCORP REPORTS FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
AND PAYMENT OF DIVIDEND

           (Middleboro, MA), July 18, 2012 --- Mayflower Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Market: MFLR), the holding company for Mayflower Bank, today reported net income of $389,000 or $0.19 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to earnings of $359,000 or $0.17 per share for the three months ended July 31, 2011.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.19 and $0.17 respectively.  In February 2012, Mayflower Bancorp, Inc. changed its fiscal year-end from April 30 to March 31.  As such, financial information provided herein is for the period April 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012, as compared to the period May 1, 2011 through July 31, 2011.

Net interest income was $2,080,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to $2,123,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 2011.  The net interest margin decreased, from 3.59% for the quarter ended July 31, 2011 to 3.53% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.  Average interest-earning assets decreased from $236.6 million for the quarter ended July 31, 2011 to $235.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and average interest-bearing liabilities declined from $234.7 million at July 31, 2011 to $230.6 million at June 30, 2012.

Non-interest income increased by $61,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended July 31, 2011.  This increase was primarily due to an increase of $84,000 in gain on sales of residential mortgage loans.  Additionally, interchange income increased by $4,000 and other income increased by $5,000.  These increases were offset by a decrease of $16,000 in customer service fees generated by overdraft fees and ATM surcharges.  Gains realized upon the sale of investment securities decreased by $11,000, while loan origination and other loan fees decreased by $5,000, a result of additional amortization expense recorded on the mortgage servicing asset in the current quarter

Total non-interest expense increased by $20,000 or 1.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.  This increase was primarily a result of an increase of $35,000 in compensation and fringe benefit expense, an increase of $8,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, and an increase of $1,000 in losses and expenses of other real estate owned expense.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $15,000 in FDIC assessment expense and a decrease of $9,000 in other expenses.

The provision for loan losses was $10,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $57,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 2011, a decrease of $47,000.  In determining the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses, the Company considers past loss experience, evaluations of underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions, the nature of the loan portfolio and levels of non-performing and other classified loans.  Management and the Company’s Board of Directors evaluate the loan loss reserve on a regular basis, and consider the allowance as constituted to be adequate at this time.

Since March 31, 2012, total assets of the Company have increased by $418,000, ending at $252.0 million as of June 30, 2012.  During the period, total investment securities increased by $1.3 million while net loans receivable decreased by $443,000.  This reduction in loans receivable was primarily due to a reduction of $902,000 in home equity loans and lines of credit, a decrease of $535,000 in commercial loans and mortgages, and a decrease of $98,000 in consumer loans.  These decreases were offset by an increase of $680,000 in residential mortgages and an increase of $418,000 in net construction loans outstanding.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, total deposits increased by $652,000.  This growth was comprised of an increase of $645,000 in money market deposit accounts and an increase of $989,000 in checking and savings accounts, as offset by a decrease of $982,000 in certificate of deposit balances.  Advances and borrowings outstanding remained constant at $1.0 million.

As of June 30, 2012, non-performing assets totaled $561,000, compared to $506,000 at March 31, 2012.  The increase from March 31, 2012 is the result of an increase of $55,000 in non-performing loans.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans was 334.9% at June 30, 2012, compared to 390.0% at March 31, 2012.

Total stockholders’ equity was $22.2 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $21.9 million at March 31, 2012.  Tier 1 capital to average assets stood at 8.5% at June 30, 2012, compared to 8.4% at March 31, 2012.  The increase in total equity is the result of net income for the period of $389,000, stock-based compensation credits of $15,000, and an increase of $32,000 in the net unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale.  A $0.06 dividend per share totaling $124,000 and Company stock repurchases totaling $40,000 partially offset these increases in total equity.

In conjunction with these announcements, the Company also reported that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share to be payable on August 8, 2012, to shareholders of record as of August 1, 2012.
