NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Nature of Business

AF Financial Group (the “Company”) is a federally chartered thrift holding company which owns 100% of the common stock of AF Bank (the “Bank”), AF Insurance Services, Inc. (an independent insurance agency) and AF Capital Trust I (a Delaware business trust). AF Bank conducts business from its main office located in West Jefferson, North Carolina, with branches in Boone, Jefferson, Sparta, Warrensville, and West Jefferson, North Carolina. Headquartered in West Jefferson, North Carolina, AF Insurance Services, Inc., has branches in Boone, Elkin, Jefferson, Lenoir, Sparta, West Jefferson, and North Wilkesboro, North Carolina.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (except for the condensed consolidated statement of financial condition at June 30, 2005, which is derived from audited consolidated financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (none of which were other than normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2006.

The Company’s accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2005 audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2005. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such annual report.

Note 3. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share assumes the exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, unless the effect is antidilutive (to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share). Shares owned by the Company’s ESOP that have not been committed to be released are not considered to be outstanding for the purposes of computing earnings per share. Earnings per share have been calculated in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6 “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans” and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128: Earnings Per Share.

Earnings per share have been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding as follows:


	Three Months Ended December 31,		Six Months Ended December 31,
	2005	2004	2005	2004
Weighted average shares outstanding	1,049,005	1,044,336	1,048,057	1,043,872
Potentially dilutive effect of stock options	1,337	1,550	1,274	897

Weighted average shares outstanding, including potentially dilutive effect of stock options	1,050,342	1,045,886	1,049,331	1,044,769

Note 4. Dividends Declared

On December 19, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend of $0.05 a share for stockholders of record as of December 30, 2005 and payable on January 16, 2006. The dividends declared were accrued and reported in accounts payable and other liabilities in the December 31, 2005 Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. AsheCo, MHC, the mutual holding company, waived the receipt of dividends declared by the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis

This Form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking statements consisting of estimates with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and other business of the Company, that are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from the estimates. These factors include: changes in general, economic and market conditions; the development of an interest rate environment that adversely affects the interest rate spread or other income anticipated from the Company’s operations and investments; our ability to offer new products and increase lower cost core deposits; and depositor and borrower preferences. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly announce future events or developments that may affect the forward-looking statements contained herein.

The Bank is a federally chartered stock savings bank which was chartered in 1939 and the historical operations of AF Bank have been to provide fixed rate loans for the residents of Ashe County, North Carolina. Over the past several years, we have expanded our market area to include Alleghany, Caldwell, Surry, Watauga and Wilkes counties and have diversified our product lines by engaging in non-residential mortgage and non-mortgage lending and offering insurance and uninsured investment products. In July 1997, we started offering traditional property and casualty, life and health insurance products through AF Insurance Services, Inc., headquartered in West Jefferson, North Carolina and operating in Boone, Elkin, Jefferson, Lenoir, Sparta, West Jefferson and Wilkesboro, North Carolina.

During the fourth quarter of the 2005 fiscal year, AF Financial Group dissolved the broker/dealer subsidiary, AF Brokerage, Inc. We continue to offer the same level of service through a third party relationship that AF Bank has entered into with LaSalle Street Securities. This new structure allows us to offer a full array of investment products, including fixed-rate and variable annuities and mutual funds while reducing expenses associated with maintaining an independent broker/dealer registration. This new third party relationship operates as a division of AF Bank under the name AF Investments.

We are committed to the long-term profitability and success of AF Financial Group. There are a number of positive factors and recent events, which reflect our progress toward our long-term goals during the six months ended December 31, 2005:

•

An increase in net loans of $2.1 million or 1.2%;

•

An increase in savings deposits of $6.9 million or 4.2%

•

Asset growth of $5.6 million or 2.6%;

•

An increase in stockholders’ equity of $379,361 or 2.9%;

•

An increase in net income of $133,089 during the six months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2004;

•

An increase in noninterest income of $126,919 or 6.4% during the six months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2004;

Our operating results are primarily dependent upon net interest income, fees and charges and insurance commissions. Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and the

interest paid on savings deposits and our borrowings. Our primary interest-earning asset is our loan portfolio representing 83.5% of total assets. Our net interest income is affected by changes in economic conditions that influence market interest rates and to a large extent by the monetary actions by the Federal Reserve. We have reduced the exposure to rising rates by limiting the term or the time to reprice the loans that we retain in our portfolio.

Net income increased $45,051 to $226,939 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from $181,888 for the three month period ended December 31, 2004. Net income increased $133,089, or 39.0%, to $474,300 for the six month period ended December 31, 2005 from $341,211 for the six month period ended December 31, 2004. This change is primarily due to an increase in interest income due to the 200 basis point interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. We believe that a positive upturn in economic indicators will continue to have a positive impact on our net income. At December 31, 2005 we had approximately $64.7 million in loans priced at prime or a margin thereto which provides for adjusting rates immediately when market rates change. In a rising rate environment, our ability to make immediate rate adjustments serves to protect the interest margin against increases in rates at a more rapid speed than the increase in funding costs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The notes to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2005 included in the AF Financial Group 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB contain a summary of our significant accounting policies. We believe that our policies with respect to the methodology for our determination of the allowance for loan losses, the fair value of mortgage servicing assets and asset impairment judgments, including the recoverability of goodwill, involve a higher degree of complexity and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates could cause reported results to differ materially. These critical policies and their application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and our Board of Directors. We consider the following accounting policies to be most critical in their potential effect on our financial position or results of operations:

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALL”) is established through a provision for loan losses based on our evaluation of the risks inherent in AF Bank’s loan portfolio, prior loss history and the general economy. The ALL is maintained at an amount we consider adequate to cover loan losses which are deemed probable and estimable. The allowance is based upon a number of factors, including asset classifications, economic trends, industry experience and trends, industry and geographic concentrations, estimated collateral values, our assessment of the credit risk inherent in the portfolio, historical loan loss experience, and AF Bank’s underwriting policies.

All loans in the portfolio are assigned an allowance percentage requirement based on the type of underlying collateral and payment terms. Furthermore, loans are evaluated individually and are assigned a credit grade using such factors as the borrower’s cash flow, the value of the collateral and the strength of any guarantee. Loans identified as having weaknesses, or adverse credit grades, are assigned a higher allowance percentage requirement than loans where no weaknesses are identified. We routinely monitor our loan portfolio to determine if a loan is deteriorating, therefore requiring a higher allowance requirement. Factors we consider are payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.

The allowance percentage requirement changes from period to period as a result of a number of factors, including: changes in the mix of types of loans; changes in credit grades within the portfolio, which arise from a deterioration or an improvement in the performance of the borrower; changes in the historical loss percentages and delinquency trends; current charge offs and recoveries; and changes in the amounts of loans outstanding.

Although we believe that we have established and maintained the allowance for loan losses at adequate levels, future adjustments may be necessary if economic, real estate and other conditions differ substantially from the current operating environment. We will continue to monitor and modify our ALL as conditions dictate.

Mortgage Servicing Assets

Mortgage servicing assets represent the present value of the future net servicing fees from servicing mortgage loans sold to the secondary market. The most critical accounting policy associated with mortgage servicing is the methodology used to determine the fair value of mortgage servicing assets, which requires the development of a number of assumptions, including anticipated loan principal amortization and prepayments of principal. The value of mortgage servicing rights is significantly affected by mortgage interest rates available in the marketplace that influence the speed of mortgage loan prepayments. During periods of declining interest rates, the value of mortgage servicing assets generally declines due to increasing prepayments attributable to increased mortgage refinance activity. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates, the value of servicing assets generally increases due to reduced refinance activity. We amortize mortgage servicing assets over the estimated period that servicing income is expected to be received based on estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows. The amount and timing of servicing asset amortization is adjusted quarterly based on actual results and updated projections.

Goodwill

We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill annually by comparing the market value of each reporting segment to the respective total equity at that level. Impairment would then be determined if the equity exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. This evaluation is subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change. Goodwill is recorded in our reportable segment, AF Insurance Services, Inc.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005:

Total assets increased by $5.6 million, or 2.6%, to $219.7 million at December 31, 2005 from $214.1 million at June 30, 2005. The increase in assets was primarily the result of an increase of $4.0 million, or 45.3%, in cash and cash equivalents and an increase of $2.1 million, or 1.2%, in net loans receivable, partially offset by a decrease of $236,250 in loans held for sale from June 30, 2005 to December 31, 2005. The increase in net loans receivable is due to the increase in non-residential loans during the six months ended December 31, 2005. AF Bank operates in lending markets that have had sustained loan demand for non-residential loans over the last several years. Non-residential loans increased $3.3 million from $27.2 million at June 30, 2005 to $30.5 million at December 31, 2005.

Securities available for sale decreased $219,340, or 5.6%, to $3.7 million at December 31, 2005 from $3.9 million at June 30, 2005. This decrease was due to maturing investments. At December 31, 2005, our investment portfolio had $18,356 in net unrealized gains as compared to net unrealized gains of $65,978 at June 30, 2005.

As mentioned above, net loans increased $2.1 million, or 1.2%, to $183.4 million at December 31, 2005 from $181.2 million at June 30, 2005. The following table sets forth the composition of our mortgage and other loan portfolios in dollar amounts and percentages at the dates indicated.


	At December 31, 2005				At June 30, 2005

Loans, net	$	183,387	100.00	%	$	181,242	100.00	%

Savings deposits increased by $6.9 million, or 4.2%, from $164.0 million at June 30, 2005 to $170.9 million at December 31, 2005. We believe that the increase in deposits is attributable to our continuing efforts directed towards increasing balances in savings and transaction accounts and in smaller, stable certificates of deposits. We intend to further focus our marketing efforts and to offer new products to increase lower cost core deposits.

Short-term borrowings decreased $2.3 million, or 88.3%, to $300,000 at December 31, 2005 from $2.6 million at June 30, 2005. Long-term borrowings increased $167,844, or 0.5%, to $32.1 million at December 31, 2005 from $32.0 million at June 30, 2005. The decrease in short-term borrowings was funded by the $6.9 million increase in savings deposits discussed above. Management decided to pay off some borrowings with the increase in savings deposits because interest rates on new deposits were lower than rates on the borrowings that were repaid.

The Bank’s level of non-performing loans, defined as loans past due 90 days or more, increased to $660,208, or 0.30% of total assets, at December 31, 2005 compared to $219,670, or 0.10% of total assets, at December 31, 2004. The Bank recognized total charge-offs of $49,695 during the six months ended December 31, 2005 compared to total charge-offs of $106,447 during the six months ended December 31, 2004. Total recoveries during the six months ended December 31, 2005 decreased to $24,815 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 from $383,354 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The Bank recognized net charge-offs of approximately $24,880 during the six months ended December 31, 2005 compared to a net recovery of $276,907 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The net recovery during the six months ended December 31, 2004 is primarily due to a recovery on one commercial loan that was charged off in a prior year.

Allowance for loan losses to total non-performing assets and to total non performing loans totaled 216.53% at December 31, 2005 compared to 748.87% at June 30, 2005. This decrease was primarily attributable to an increase of $475,208 in the level of non-performing loans during the six months ended December 31, 2005. Non-performing loans totaled $185,000 at June 30, 2005 compared to $660,208 at December 31, 2005. The increase in non-performing loans is primarily due to commercial construction loans where the borrower had an unexpected delay in selling the property and to four loans where the borrowers filed bankruptcy during the six months ended December 31, 2005. Due to this increase in non-performing loans and based upon a detailed analysis of the overall quality of our loan portfolio, we made a $69,000 provision to the allowance for loan losses during the six month period ended December 31, 2005. This additional provision increased the level of allowance for loan losses by $44,120 during the six months ended December 31, 2005. Allowance for loan losses to total loans totaled 0.77% at December 31, 2005 compared to 0.76% at June 30, 2005.

The following table sets forth activity in the Bank’s ALL at or for the dates indicated.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2005 and 2004:

Net income for the three month period ended December 31, 2005 increased $45,051 to $226,939 compared to net income of $181,888 during the same period in 2004. Net income for the six month period increased $133,089 to $474,300 compared to $341,211 during the six month period ended December 31, 2004. The increase in net income during the three and six month periods was attributable to an increase in interest income and noninterest income partially offset by an increase in interest expense.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $344,619, or 11.5%, from $2,994,677 for the three month period ended December 31, 2004 to $3,339,296 for the three month period ended December 31, 2005. Interest income increased by $648,510, or 11.0%, from $5,879,182 for the six month period ended December 31, 2004 to $6,527,692 for the six month period ended December 31, 2005. Interest income from loans increased $313,970, or 10.7%, from $2,928,697 for the three month period ended December 31, 2004 to $3,242,667 for the three month period ended December 31, 2005. Interest income from loans increased $587,697, or 10.2%, from $5,751,438 for the six month period ended December 31, 2004 to $6,339,135 for the six month period ended December 31, 2005. The increase in interest income from loans for the three and six month periods was attributable to an increase in the weighted average rate on portfolio loans partially offset by a decrease of $1.5 million in the average volume of outstanding loan balances. The weighted average rate on portfolio loans increased .78% from 6.13% at December 31, 2004 to 6.91% at December 31, 2005, primarily due to the 200 basis point interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. Total loans decreased $2.6 from $187.6 million at December 31, 2004 to $185.0 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease in loans during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 is due to borrowers refinancing to take advantage of lower rates offered on long term fixed rate loans. We sold these long term fixed rate loans to the secondary market, thus reducing our net loans outstanding.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $204,767, or 17.5%, to $1,375,108 for the three month period ended December 31, 2005 from $1,170,341 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. Interest expense increased by $406,578, or 17.8%, to $2,690,943 for the six month period ended December 31, 2005 from $2,284,365 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. Interest expense on savings deposits increased $250,200 from $670,958 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $921,158 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Interest expense on savings deposits increased $459,449 from $1,318,478 for the six months ended December 31, 2004 to $1,777,927 for the six months ended December 31, 2005. These increases were primarily attributable to the increase in savings deposits and to an increase of the weighted average rate paid on deposits. Savings deposits increased $7.7 million from $162.8 million at December 31, 2004 to $170.5 million at December 31, 2005. The weighted average rate paid on savings deposits increased .59% from 1.72% at December 31, 2004 to 2.31% at December 31, 2005.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $139,852, or 7.7%, from $1,824,336 for the three month period ended December 31, 2004 to $1,964,188 for the three month period ended December 31, 2005. Net interest income increased by $241,932, or 6.7%, from $3,594,817 for the six month period ended December 31, 2004 to $3,836,749 for the six month period ended December 31, 2005. The increases in net interest income during the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2005 is the result of the increase in the weighted average interest rate earned on the loan portfolio, partially offset by the increase in interest expense, as discussed above. In a rising rate environment, we have the ability to make immediate rate adjustments on our loans priced at prime or a margin thereto, which allows us to increase loan rates at a more rapid speed than the increase in funding costs. We believe that a positive upturn in economic indicators will have a positive impact on our net income. We do not believe that there has been a material change in interest rate risk from the end of our most recent fiscal year.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses charged to earnings is an amount sufficient to bring the allowance for loan losses to an estimated balance considered adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. Loans are charged off against the allowance when we believe collection is unlikely. The allowance for loan losses changes from period to period as a result of a number of

factors, including: changes in the mix of types of loans; changes in credit grades within the portfolio, which arise from a deterioration or an improvement in the performance of the borrower; changes in the historical loss percentages and delinquency trends; current charge offs and recoveries; and changes in the amounts of loans outstanding. The net change in all of the components results in the provision for loan losses. We had no significant changes in any of the factors mentioned above during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005.

We made a $39,000 provision to the allowance for loan losses during the three month period ended December 31, 2005, compared to a net reversal of provisions for loan losses of $293,922 made during the three month period ended December 31, 2004. We made a $69,000 provision to the allowance for loan losses during the six month period ended December 31, 2005, compared to a net reversal of provisions for loan losses of $213,922 made during the six month period ended December 31, 2004. The increases in the amount of the provision expense during the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2005 is primarily due to a $309,080 recovery from a commercial loan that was previously charged off during the six months ended December 31, 2004 resulting in net recoveries for the period of $276,907. Conversely, we had net charge-offs of $24,880 during the six months ended December 31, 2005.

As mentioned above, during the six month period ended December 31, 2005 we had net charge-offs of $24,880. We made a $69,000 provision to the allowance for loan losses during the six month period ended December 31, 2005 based upon an analysis of the quality of our loan portfolio. Future loan loss provision requirements are uncertain. At December 31, 2005, our level of allowance for loan losses amounted to $1,429,532, or 0.77% of total loans, as compared to $1,385,412 of allowance for loan losses, or 0.76% of total loans at June 30, 2005, which we believe is adequate to absorb any probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased by $43,971, or 4.6%, from $957,464 for the three month period ended December 31, 2004 to $1,001,435 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Noninterest income increased by $126,919, or 6.4%, from $1,972,231 for the six month period ended December 31, 2004 to $2,099,150 for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The increase in noninterest income during the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to increases in transaction fees on deposit accounts and an increase in insurance commissions. The increase in transaction fees on deposit accounts is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of transaction accounts and an increase in the amount of transaction fees charged for services on deposit accounts. These trends are expected to continue to produce growth in non-interest income.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased by $216,932, or 7.9%, from $2,749,092 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $2,532,160 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Non-interest expense decreased by $118,083, or 2.3%, from $5,163,857 for the six months ended December 31, 2004 to $5,045,774 for the six months ended December 31, 2005. The decrease in non-interest expense for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2005 is primarily attributable to a decrease in expenses on real estate owned. Expenses on real estate owned decreased $152,308 during the six month period ended December 31, 2005 compared to the six month period ended December 31, 2004. No REO was held by the Company at December 31, 2005 as compared to REO of $250,000 at December 31, 2004.

The decrease in real estate owned expense was partially offset by an increase in computer processing charges. Computer processing charges increased $66,079 from $169,778 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to $235,857 for the three months ended December 31, 2005. Computer processing charges increased $87,984 from $336,221 for the six months ended December 31, 2004 to $424,205 for the six months ended December 31, 2005. These increases are due to expenses associated with the Bank’s core data processing conversion scheduled to occur during the third quarter of the current fiscal year.

Income Taxes. Income taxes resulted from applying normal, expected tax rates on income earned during the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. The income tax expense was $167,524 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 compared to the income tax expense of $144,742 for the three months ended December 31, 2004. The income tax expense was $346,825 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 compared to the income tax expense of $275,902 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The effective tax rate was higher than statutory tax rates, resulting primarily from the fact that North Carolina corporations may not file consolidated income tax returns. This has the effect of taxing all income in a particular member of a consolidated group without permitting an offsetting benefit for losses incurred in another member of the same group, creating a higher than expected “overall” state income tax expense.

Capital Resources and Liquidity:

The term “liquidity” generally refers to an organization’s ability to generate adequate amounts of funds to meet its needs for cash. More specifically, for financial institutions, liquidity ensures that adequate funds are available to meet deposit withdrawals, fund loan demand and capital expenditure commitments, maintain reserve requirements, pay operating expenses, and provide funds for debt service, dividends to stockholders, and other institutional commitments. The Company’s primary sources of funds consist of deposits, borrowings, repayment and prepayment of loans, sales and participations of loans, maturities of securities and interest-bearing deposits, and funds provided from operations. While scheduled repayments of loans and maturities of securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Company uses its liquid resources primarily to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund net deposit outflows, to invest in other interest-earning assets, to maintain liquidity, and to meet operating expenses. For additional information about cash flows from the Company’s operating, financing and investing activities, see “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.”

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, we believe we could borrow additional funds from the FHLB and use the wholesale deposit markets. At December 31, 2005, we had borrowings of $26.1 million from the FHLB. The Bank also maintains borrowing agreements with the FRB of Richmond, Virginia.

The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan origination commitments. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $55.0 million at December 31, 2005. Based upon historical experience, we believe that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

As of December 31, 2005, cash and cash equivalents, a significant source of liquidity, totaled $12.8 million. The OTS regulations require the Company to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure its safe and sound operation. Given our level of liquidity and our ability to borrow from the FHLB, we believe that we will have sufficient funds available to meet anticipated future loan commitments, unexpected deposit withdrawals, and other cash requirements. We do not anticipate any financial or insurance acquisitions at this time.

Capital management is another important daily and long-term function of management. While we currently meet all regulatory capital levels, we monitor this level on an ongoing basis. Our principal goals related to capital management are to provide an adequate return to shareholders while retaining a sufficient foundation from which to support future growth and to comply with all regulatory guidelines.

Off Balance-Sheet Arrangements:

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources or expenditures that are material to investors.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123(R)). SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as an expense in the historical financial statements as services are performed. Prior to SFAS No. 123(R), only certain pro forma disclosures of fair value were required. The provisions of this Statement are effective for the first interim reporting period of the first fiscal year that begins on or after December 15, 2005. Accordingly, we will adopt SFAS No. 123(R) commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2006. Since all options granted were fully vested on December 8, 2001 there would be no cost of employee stock option compensation in our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Accordingly, the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains a system of internal controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our published financial statements and other disclosures included in this report. The Company’s Board of Directors, operating through its Audit Committee, which is composed entirely of independent outside directors, provides oversight of the Company’s financial reporting process.

Management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
