The decrease in net income was primarily due to $338,000 in gains on the sale of investments that occurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  There were no such gains during the nine months ended March 31, 2012.  Earnings for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 were also lower than the prior year period due to a $132,000 write down of the value of a property held in Real Estate Owned.  Net interest income declined by $110,000 from $7,150,000 for nine months ended March 31, 2011 to $7,040,000 for the same period ending March 31, 2012. Net interest income after provision for loan loss increased by $292,000 for nine months ended March 31, 2012 due to a $402,000 decrease in provision expense.  Other expenses increased by $428,000 for nine months ending March 31, 2012 offsetting the increase in net interest income after provision.
