CMS Bancorp, Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Principles of Consolidation, Reorganization and Initial Public Offering
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CMS Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Community Mutual Savings Bank (the Bank). The Companys business is conducted principally through the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
On April 3, 2007, the Bank reorganized from a New York State-chartered mutual savings bank to a federally-chartered mutual savings bank and simultaneously converted from a federally-chartered mutual savings bank to a federally-chartered stock savings bank, with the concurrent formation of a stock holding company which conducted a subscription offering with depositors of the Bank receiving first priority in the offering. After the conversion and offering, all of the Banks stock is owned by the Company. In connection with the conversion and offering, the Company issued 2,055,165 shares of common stock, consisting of 164,413 shares to the ESOP, 71,415 shares to The Community Mutual Charitable Foundation (the Foundation) and 1,819,337 shares sold to the public at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The net proceeds from the sale of shares to the public amounted to $16,196,000 ($18,193,000 of proceeds, net of reorganization expenses of $1,997,000). The management and business operations of the Bank continued unchanged after the conversion and offering.
2. Description of Operations
The Bank was originally chartered in 1887 as Community Savings and Loan, a New York State-chartered savings and loan association. In 1980, it converted to a New York State-chartered savings bank and changed its name to Community Mutual Savings Bank of Southern New York. In 1983, Community Mutual Savings Bank of Southern New York changed its name to Community Mutual Savings Bank.
The Bank is a community and customer oriented retail savings bank offering residential mortgage loans and traditional deposit products and, to a lesser extent, commercial real estate, small business and consumer loans in Westchester County, New York, and surrounding areas. The Bank currently retains all of the loans that it originates. The Bank also invests in various types of assets, including securities of various government-sponsored enterprises and mortgage-backed securities.
The Banks revenues are derived principally from interest on loans, interest and dividends received from its investment securities and fees for bank services. The Banks primary sources of funds are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal and mortgage-backed securities, maturities and calls of investment securities and funds provided by operations and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.
3. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-X and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2007 which are in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 28, 2007.

4. Critical Accounting Policies
It is managements opinion that accounting estimates covering certain aspects of the business have more significance than others due to the relative importance of those areas to overall performance, or the level of subjectivity required in making these estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the assessment of whether deferred taxes are more likely than not to be realized. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses represents its best estimate of losses known and inherent in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in market and economic conditions in the Companys market area. Managements assessment as to the amount of deferred taxes more likely than not to be realized is based upon future taxable income, which is subject to revision upon updated information.
In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Banks allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.
5. Net (Loss) Per Share
Basic net loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, adjusted for unearned shares of the ESOP. Stock options and restricted stock awards granted are considered common stock equivalents and are therefore considered in diluted net income (loss) per share calculations, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method. Net loss per share data is not presented for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, as the Company had no publicly held shares outstanding prior to CMS Bancorps initial public offering on April 3, 2007.

7. Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB Statement No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
8
beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued proposed FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-b, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, that would permit a one-year deferral in applying the measurement provisions of Statement No. 157 to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities (non-financial items) that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in an entitys financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Therefore, if the change in fair value of a non-financial item is not required to be recognized or disclosed in the financial statements on an annual basis or more frequently, the effective date of application of Statement 157 to that item is deferred until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This deferral does not apply, however, to an entity that applies Statement 157 in interim or annual financial statements before proposed FSP 157-b is finalized. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP 157-b will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with the opportunity to early adopt SFAS No. 159 as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, as long as certain additional conditions are met. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (SAB 110) amends and replaces Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14, Share-Based Payment, of the Staff Accounting Bulletin series. Question 6 of Section D.2 of Topic 14 expresses the views of the staff regarding the use of the simplified method in developing an estimate of expected term of plain vanilla share options and allows usage of the simplified method for share option grants prior to December 31, 2007. SAB 110 allows public companies which do not have historically sufficient experience to provide a reasonable estimate to continue use of the simplified method for estimating the expected term of plain vanilla share option grants after December 31, 2007. The Company does not expect SAB 110 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 2.Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements, which may be identified by the use of such words as believe, expect, anticipate, should, planned, estimated, potential and similar expressions that are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, estimates with respect to our financial condition, results of operations and business that are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates. These factors include, but are not limited to:
|
changes in the real estate market or local economy; |
|
changes in interest rates; |
|
changes in laws and regulations to which we are subject; and |
|
competition in our primary market area. |
Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this Report and in any other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. We disclaim any obligation to subsequently revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements, or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
General
The Companys results of operations depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income it earns on its loans and investments and the interest it pays on its deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on these balances. The Companys operations are also affected by non-interest income, such as service fees and gains and losses on sales of securities, the provision for loan losses and non-interest expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy costs, and other general and administrative expenses. In general, financial institutions such as the Company are significantly affected by economic conditions, competition, and the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing, competition among lenders, interest rate conditions, and funds availability. The Companys operations and lending activities are principally concentrated in Westchester County, New York, and its operations and earnings are influenced by the economics of the area in which it operates. Deposit balances and cost of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates on competing investments, customer preferences, and levels of personal income and savings in the Companys primary market area.
The Companys net interest income may be affected by market interest rate changes. During the past three years, increases in short-term interest rates without a corresponding increase in long-term interest rates, resulted in an increase in interest expense and reduction in net interest income. The effect of a flat or inverted interest rate yield curve could decrease the Companys ability to reinvest proceeds from loan and investment repayments at higher interest rates. The Companys cost of funds has increased faster than its yield on loans and investments, due to the longer-term nature of its interest-earning assets and the current yield curve environment.
In order to grow and diversify in the current yield curve environment, the Company seeks to continue to grow its multi-family, non-residential, construction, home equity and commercial loans by targeting these markets in Westchester County and surrounding areas as a means to increase the yield on and diversify its loan portfolio, build transactional deposit account relationships and, depending on market conditions, sell a portion of the fixed-rate residential real estate loans to a third party in order to diversify its loan portfolio, increase fee income and reduce interest rate risk.
10
To the extent the Company increases its investment in construction or development, consumer and commercial loans, which are considered greater risks than one- to four-family residential loans, The Companys provision for loan losses may increase to reflect this increased risk, which could cause a reduction in the Companys income.
Overview
The Company seeks to differentiate itself from its competition by providing superior, highly personalized and prompt service with competitive fees and rates to its customers. Historically, the Company has been a community-oriented retail savings bank offering residential mortgage loans and traditional deposit products and, to a lesser extent, commercial real estate, small business and consumer loans in Westchester County, New York, and surrounding areas.
The Company has adopted a strategic plan that focuses on growth in the traditional one- to four-family real estate lending market as well as diversification of the loan portfolio into higher yield multi-family, non-residential, construction and commercial loan markets. The Companys strategic plan also calls for increasing deposit relationships and broadening its product lines and services. The Company believes that this business strategy is best for its long term success and viability, and complements its existing commitment to high quality customer service.
In connection with its overall growth strategy, The Company seeks to continue to grow its commercial and industrial loan and commercial real estate loan portfolio by targeting commercial businesses in Westchester County and surrounding areas as a means to increase the yield on, and diversify, its loan portfolio and build transactional deposit account relationships; focus on expanding its retail banking franchise and increasing the number of households served within its market area; and depending on market conditions, sell a portion of the fixed rate residential real estate loans to a third party, in order to diversify its loan portfolio, increase fee income and reduce interest rate risk.
Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2007 to September 30, 2007
Total assets increased by $1.8 million, or 1.0%, to $175.3 million at December 31, 2007 from $173.5 million at September 30, 2007. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2.5 million, from $17.5 million at September 30, 2007, to $15.0 million at December 31, 2007. Cash and cash equivalents, investment maturities and borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank of NY (FHLB) were used to fund additional loans and decreases in deposits.
In the three months ended December 31, 2007, securities available for sale and securities held to maturity declined by $2.9 million as investments in U.S. Government Agency bonds matured.
Loans receivable were $154.3 million and $146.7 million at December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007, respectively, representing an increase of $7.6 million, or 5.2%. The increase in loans resulted from originations of one-to four family mortgage loans and non-residential real estate loans. The increase in loans receivable was funded from cash, investment maturities and FHLB borrowing. While the banking industry has seen increases in loan delinquencies and defaults over the past year, particularly in the subprime sector, the Company has not experienced losses in its loan portfolio due primarily to its conservative underwriting policies. As of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2007, the Company had no non-performing loans and the allowance for loan losses was 0.18% of loans outstanding. There were no loans charged off or recoveries in the quarters ended December 31, 2007 or 2006. While there has been no material shift in the loan portfolio, delinquency levels, loss experience, or other factors affecting the Bank, loans grew by $7.5 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and as a result, $15,000 was added to the allowance for loan losses.
Deposits decreased by $3.4 million, or 2.9%, from $117.5 million as of September 30, 2007 to $114.1 million as of December 31, 2007. The decrease in deposits resulted from unusually high market interest rates offered by other banks, caused in part by liquidity issues in the marketplace.
FHLB borrowings increased to $35.0 million as of December 31, 2007 from $30.0 million as of September 30, 2007 and were used to fund loan demand and the decline in deposits. The increase in advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance of $797,000, from $366,000 at September 30, 2007 to $1.1 million at December 31, 2007 represents the normal accumulation of these funds before tax and insurance payments are made on behalf of borrowers.
11
Stockholders equity decreased from $24.4 million at September 30, 2007 to $24.0 million at December 31, 2007 as a result of the net loss incurred during the period and the purchase of 28,195 shares of the Companys common stock to fund the Management Recognition Plan (MRP), for $293,000. In January 2008, the trustee of the MRP completed the purchase of the 54,011 remaining shares for the plan for $563,000.
12
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006
General. The Company incurred a net loss of $130,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007, compared to a net loss of $13,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006. The increase in the net loss primarily reflects an increase in non-interest expenses which was partially offset by an increase in net interest income.
Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields. The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Companys average balance sheets and reflects the average annual yield on interest-earning assets and average annual cost of interest-bearing liabilities, interest earned and interest paid for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Average balances are derived from daily balances over the periods indicated. The average balances for loans are net of allowance for loan losses.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $859,000, or 58.3%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007 from $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006. The increase in interest income was due to increases of $834,000 in interest income from loans and $156,000 in interest on federal funds sold and other interest earning assets, offset by a $131,000 decrease in interest income from securities.
Interest income from loans increased by $834,000, or 58.3%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007 from $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006. The increase was due to a $51.8 million, or 52.5%, increase in the average balance of loans to $150.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2007 from $98.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 2006 and an increase in the average yield to 6.01% from 5.79%, as additions to the loan portfolio were made at interest rates that were higher than the interest rate on the overall portfolio. The $51.8 million increase in average loan balances includes a $41.2 million increase in the conventional one- to four-family residential mortgage portfolio, a $2.3 million increase in the home equity category and a $6.2 million increase in commercial real estate loans.
Interest income from securities decreased by $131,000 to $32,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 from $163,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in interest income from securities was due to maturities of U.S. Government Agency bonds which caused the average balance to decrease by $16.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2006. The impact of the bond maturities was partially offset by an increase in the average yield on securities of 4.69% for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and 3.46% for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, as the result of maturities of bonds with lower yields.
Interest income from federal funds sold and other interest earning assets increased by $156,000 from $4,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2006 to $160,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2007. The average balance of federal funds sold and other interest earning assets was $14.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2007 with an average yield of 4.57%.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $507,000, or 78.2%, to $1.2 million in the three month period ended December 31, 2007 compared to $648,000 in the comparable 2006 period. The increase in interest expense resulted from higher average interest-bearing deposit balances, higher FHLB borrowings and higher interest rates on interest-bearing deposits. The average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits increased from $5.0 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 to $9.4 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2007 as a result of offering higher interest rates to attract deposits in this category. The average balance of savings and clubs decreased by 12.0% to $41.5 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2007 from $47.2 million in the comparable 2006 period primarily as a result of customers transferring deposits into higher yielding categories. The average balance of certificates of deposit increased from $44.3 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 to $54.1 million in 2007 as a result of higher interest rates in this deposit category. FHLB borrowings which were used to fund loan demand were higher in the quarter ended December 31, 2007, increasing from $6.4 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 to $30.9 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2007. The interest rate on these borrowings was lower in the 2007 period, declining from 5.22% in 2006 to 5.04% in 2007.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table analyzes the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It shows the amount of the change in interest income or expense caused by either changes in outstanding balances (volume) or changes in interest rates. The effect of a change in volume is measured by applying the average rate during the first period to the volume change between the two periods. The effect of changes in rate is measured by applying the change in rate between the two periods to the average volume during the first period. Changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the absolute value of the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $352,000, or 37.0%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007 from $950,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2006. Increases in both average interest-earning assets and the yield on those assets in the three months ended December 31, 2007 as compared to 2006 were offset by increases in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and increases in average deposit and borrowing balances. The average rate on deposit liabilities rose in response to local market conditions and from the change in the composition of deposits in 2007 from savings to certificates of deposit.
The federal funds rate increased throughout 2005 and 2006, to 5.25% in June 2006 and remained at that level until September 2007, at which time it began to decline. The interest rate on 10-year Treasury notes, from which the Company generally prices conventional mortgages, remained relatively flat during the period when the federal funds rate was increasing. The negative impact on net interest income of the flattening, and at times inverted interest rate yield curve was mitigated by reinvesting the proceeds of maturing lower yielding securities and other interest-earning assets into higher yielding loans, as well as diversifying the loan portfolio into higher yielding multi-family, non-residential, construction, home equity and commercial real estate loans. Increases in short-term interest rates without a corresponding increase in long-term interest rates have resulted, and may continue to result in an increase in interest expense and a reduction in net interest income in the future.
15
Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses was $284,000, or 0.18%, of gross loans outstanding at December 31, 2007 compared to $269,000, or 0.18%, of gross loans outstanding at September 30, 2007. The level of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates and ultimate losses may vary from these estimates. Management reviews the level of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis, at a minimum, and establishes the provision for loan losses based on the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency levels, loss experience, economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectibility of the loan portfolio. Management regularly evaluates various risk factors related to the loan portfolio, such as type of loan, underlying collateral and payment status, and the corresponding allowance allocation percentages. While there has been no material shift in the loan portfolio, delinquency levels, loss experience, or other factors affecting the Bank, loans grew by $7.5 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and as a result, $15,000 was added to the allowance for loan losses. The Bank has allocated the allowance for loan losses among categories of loan types as well as classification status at each period end date.
Non-interest Income. Non-interest income of $129,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2007 was higher than the comparable 2006 amount as a result of fees earned from referring a loan which was outside the banks lending parameters to another lender.
Non-interest Expenses. Non-interest expenses were $1.6 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of $519,000, or 49.7%. Higher salaries and benefits ($219,000) resulted from additions to staff in lending, compliance and operations, raises and incentive compensation, and higher benefit costs, including the cost of the employee stock ownership plan and stock based compensation. Higher net occupancy costs ($43,000) resulted from the lease on the new Eastchester branch location which will open in the spring of 2008. Professional fees were $65,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and $239,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2007. The increase resulted from costs associated with preparing the proxy for the special shareholders meeting, the cost of preparing and filing the first annual report and Form 10-KSB and the cost of the Registration Statement on Form S-8 for the stock option and management recognition programs. Other non-interest expense includes the cost of proxy solicitation, proxy printing and other costs associated with operating as a public company.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit). The income tax benefit was $19,000 in the three month period ended December 31, 2007 compared to $3,000 in the comparable 2006 period. The tax provision (benefit) is recorded based on pretax income (loss), at the statutory rate for federal tax purposes and the higher of the statutory rate or minimum tax rate for state purposes. The effective tax rate in the three month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was different than the statutory rate as a result of providing for New York State minimum taxes.
Management of Market Risk
As a financial institution, the Companys primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a significant portion of its assets and liabilities. Fluctuations in interest rates will also affect the market value of all interest-earning assets, other than those which possess a short-term maturity. Interest rates are highly sensitive to factors that are beyond the Companys control, including general economic conditions, inflation, changes in the slope of the interest rate yield curve, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government and the regulatory policies of government authorities. Due to the nature of the Companys operations, it is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. Instead, the Companys real estate loan portfolio, concentrated in Westchester County, New York, is subject to the risks associated with the economic conditions prevailing in its market area.
The primary goals of the Companys interest rate management strategy are to determine the appropriate level of risk given the business strategy and then manage that risk so as to reduce the exposure of the Companys net interest income to fluctuations in interest rates. Historically, the Companys lending activities have been dominated by one- to four-family real estate mortgage loans. The primary source of funds has been deposits which have substantially shorter terms to maturity than the loan portfolio, and as a result, the Company has employed certain strategies to manage the interest rate risk inherent in the asset/liability mix, including but not limited to limiting terms of fixed rate one- to four-family mortgage loan originations which are retained in the Companys portfolio, emphasizing investments with short- and intermediate-term maturities of less than five years and borrowing term funds from FHLB.
16
In addition, the actual amount of time before mortgage loans are repaid can be significantly impacted by changes in mortgage prepayment rates and market interest rates. Mortgage prepayment rates will vary due to a number of factors, including the regional economy in the area where the underlying mortgages were originated, seasonal factors, demographic variables and the assumability of the underlying mortgages. However, the major factors affecting prepayment rates are prevailing interest rates, related mortgage refinancing opportunities and competition. The Company monitors interest rate sensitivity so that it can make adjustments to its asset and liability mix on a timely basis.
Net Interest Income at Risk
The Company uses a simulation model to monitor interest rate risk. This model reports the net interest income and net economic value at risk under different interest rate environments. Specifically, an analysis is performed of changes in net interest income assuming changes in interest rates, both up and down, from current rates over the three-year period following the current financial statements.
The changes in interest income and interest expense due to changes in interest rates reflect the interest sensitivity of the Companys interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. For example, in a rising interest rate environment, the interest income from an adjustable-rate mortgage will increase depending on its re-pricing characteristics while the interest income from a fixed rate loan would not increase until it was repaid and loaned out at a higher interest rate.
The table below sets forth the changes in net interest income, as of September 30, 2007, the latest information available, that would result from various basis point changes in interest rates over a twelve-month period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company is required to maintain levels of liquid assets sufficient to ensure the Companys safe and sound operation. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. The Company adjusts its liquidity levels in order to meet funding needs for deposit outflows, payment of real estate taxes from escrow accounts on mortgage loans, repayment of borrowings, when applicable, and loan funding commitments. The Company also adjusts its liquidity level as appropriate to meet its asset/liability objectives.
The Companys primary sources of funds are deposits, brokered certificates of deposit, amortization and prepayments of loans, FHLB advances and loans, maturities of investment securities and funds provided from operations. While scheduled loan and mortgage-backed securities amortization and maturing investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flow and loan and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Companys liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents and investment securities, is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities.
17
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments, such as Federal funds and other interest earning assets. If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the FHLB which provide an additional source of funds. At December 31, 2007, The Company had $35.0 million in loans from the FHLB and an available line of credit of $31.7 million.
In the three months ended December 31, 2007, net cash provided from operating activities was $335,000, compared to net cash used of $345,000 in the comparable 2006 period. In the three months ended December 31, 2007, the net loss of $130,000 was offset by non-cash expenses of $115,000 and changes in accrued interest receivable, and changes in other assets and other liabilities of $350,000.
In the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, investing activities used $4.9 million and $1.1 million of cash, respectively. In the 2007 period, maturities of U.S. Government bonds provided cash of $2.9 million and loan growth used $7.6 million of cash. In the 2006 period, maturities of U.S. Government bonds provided cash of $2.5 million and loan growth used $3.4 million of cash.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.1 million and $2.4 million in the three month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In the 2007 period, decreases in deposits used $3.4 million of cash and borrowings from FHLB provided $5.0 million of cash. In the 2006 period, higher deposits provided cash of $1.1 million.
The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan and other commitments. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $15.0 million and securities of $1.7 million. At December 31, 2007, the Company has outstanding commitments to originate loans of $12.9 million and $9.2 million of undisbursed funds from approved lines of credit, principally under a homeowners equity line of credit lending program. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31, 2007, totaled $45.5 million. Management believes that, based upon its experience and the Companys deposit flow history, a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Company.
The Company had an unused overnight line of credit and an unused one month overnight repricing line of credit commitment with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York totaling $31.7 million, which expire on July 31, 2008.

Part II: Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Community Mutual Savings Bank has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit brought by two former employees, filed on August 2, 2007 in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs claim the Bank violated sections of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the New York State Human Rights Law, the New York Executive Law, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and the Fair Labor Relations Act. The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages, liquidated damages, overtime compensation and fees and costs totaling $3.75 million. To date, the Bank has not been served with the complaint. The plaintiffs previously filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the EEOC) and the EEOC returned a no-cause determination in the Banks favor on April 27, 2007. At this time, management does not believe that the resolution of this action will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
