Quarterly Report


Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to Hibernia Homestead Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or "Hibernia") and Hibernia Homestead Bank (the "Bank") that are based on the beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. In addition, in portions of this document the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "should" and similar expressions, or the negative thereof, as they relate to the Company or the Bank or their management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views of the Company and/or the Bank with respect to forward-looking events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. The Company does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.
General
The Company was formed by the Bank in June 2008, in connection with the Bank's conversion to a Louisiana chartered stock form savings bank (the "Conversion") completed on January 27, 2009. The Company's results of operations are primarily dependent on the results of the Bank, which became a wholly owned subsidiary upon completion of the Conversion. The Bank's results of operations depend, to a large extent, on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan and investment portfolios and the cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by provisions for loan losses, fee income and other non-interest income and non-interest expense. Non-interest expense principally consists of compensation and employee benefits, office occupancy and equipment expense, data processing, advertising and business promotion and other expense. The Bank's results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable law, regulations or government policies may materially impact our financial condition and results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
In reviewing and understanding financial information for Hibernia, you are encouraged to read and understand the significant accounting policies used in preparing our financial statements. These policies are described in Note 1 of the notes to our financial statements. The accounting and financial reporting policies of Hibernia conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements require certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions, which are believed to be reasonable, based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. The following accounting policies comprise those that management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These policies require numerous estimates or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or may be subject to variations which may significantly affect our reported results and financial condition for the period or in future periods.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level to provide for probable credit losses related to specifically identified loans and for losses inherent in the loan portfolio that have been incurred as of the balance sheet date. The reserve is comprised of specific reserves and a general reserve. Specific reserves are assessed for each loan that is reviewed for impairment or for which a probable loss has been identified. The reserve related to loans that are identified as impaired is based on discounted expected future cash flows using the loan's initial effective interest rate, the observable market value of the loan, or the estimated fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. Factors contributing to the determination of specific reserves include the financial condition of the borrower, changes in the value of pledged collateral and general economic conditions. General reserves are established based on historical charge-offs considering factors that include risk rating, concentrations and loan type. For the general reserve, management also considers trends in delinquencies and non-accrual loans, concentrations, volatility of risk ratings and the evolving mix in terms of collateral, relative loan size and the degree of seasoning within the various loan products.
Changes in underwriting standards, credit administration and collection policies, regulation and other factors which affect the credit quality and collectability of the loan portfolio also impact the reserve levels. The reserve for loan losses is based on management's estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio; actual credit losses may vary from the current estimate. The reserve for loan losses is reviewed periodically, taking into consideration the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, past charge-off experience, general economic conditions and other factors that warrant current recognition. As adjustments to the reserve for loan losses become necessary, they are reflected as a provision for loan losses in current-period earnings. Actual loan charge-offs are deducted from and subsequent recoveries of previously charged-off loans are added to the reserve.
Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. Realizing our deferred tax assets principally depends upon our achieving projected future taxable income. We may change our judgments regarding future profitability due to future market conditions and other factors. We may adjust our deferred tax asset balances if our judgments change.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 Hibernia Homestead Bancorp's total assets decreased $1.0 million, or 1.7%, to $57.2 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $58.2 million at December 31, 2008. During the first three months of 2009, the largest decrease was in cash and cash equivalents, which decreased $3.2 million and was partially offset by an increase of $2.0 million in investment securities available for sale. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2009, is primarily a result of the investment of excess liquidity in available for sale securities. Our net loans receivable increased by $779,000, or 2.4%, to $33.1 million at March 31, 2009, compared to $32.3 million at December 31, 2008. During the first three months of 2009 our total loan originations amounted to $2.9 million and loan principal payments were $2.1 million. Our total investment securities amounted to $14.0 million at March 31, 2009, compared to $11.9 million at December 31, 2008, an increase of $2.1 million, or 17.0%. The increase in investment securities was offset by maturities and paydowns of $600,000 received during the period.
Hibernia's deposits decreased $9.8 million, or 22.9%, to $33.3 million at March 31, 2009, compared to $43.1 million at December 31, 2008, primarily as a result of the completion of our mutual to stock conversion in January, 2009. Deposits as of December 31, 2008 included $9.3 million in deposits being held in escrow for stock subscriptions in connection with the Hibernia's initial public offering. The average balance of deposits, however, increased to $36.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $35.3 million for the prior year period. We did not hold any Federal Home Loan Bank advances at March 31, 2009, or December 31, 2008, as we continued our strategy in recent periods to manage interest rate risk by paying down higher cost borrowings. Our stockholders' equity amounted to $23.6 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $14.2 million at December 31, 2008, an increase of $9.4 million, or 66.6%. The increase in stockholders' equity was the result of $10.4 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock partially offset by $891,000 in the value of shares allocated to the employee stock ownership plan and a $40,000 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, Hibernia Homestead Bancorp had a net loss of $112,000 compared to a net loss of $114,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our results in the 2009 period reflect in part an increase in our net interest margin for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2009. In addition, our non-interest expenses increased over the prior year period. Our net interest margin increased by 58 basis points to 3.55% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 2.97% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, while our average interest rate spread improved to 2.98% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 2.22% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. During the first three months of 2009, the average rate paid on certificates of deposit decreased 170 basis points from 4.45% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, to 2.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Lower rates on certificates of deposit during the three months ended March 31, 2009, reflect general interest rate declines during the period and management's decision not to aggressively compete for certificate deposits. Hibernia's total interest income was $603,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $608,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a $5,000 or 0.8% decrease. The decrease in interest income in the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008, was due primarily to decreases in the average yields on loans and investments. The average yield on our interest-earning assets was 4.88% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 5.52% for the comparable period in 2008. Average interest-earning assets were $49.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $44.1 million for the comparable period in 2008. Hibernia's total interest expense was $170,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $283,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $113,000 or 39.9%. The decrease in interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 was primarily due to lower average rates of interest paid on both our certificates of deposit and our borrowings in the 2009 period combined with decreases in the average balances of certificates of deposit and borrowings. Our average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.90% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to 3.30% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Hibernia's total non-interest income, which consists of rental income, net of related expenses, fees and service charges, and realized gains and losses on investments, amounted to a $22,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $38,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a $16,000 or 42.1% decrease due primarily to higher maintenance costs associated with the related rental properties.
Hibernia's total non-interest expense increased by $72,000, or 13.4%, to $608,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $536,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The primary reasons for the increase in non-interest expense for the first three months of 2009 were salaries and employee benefits expense, as additional staff was added to manage Hibernia's operations as a publically owned company, higher insurance, data processing, and occupancy expenses, and legal and audit professional fees incurred in connection with public company reporting requirements following the conversion of Hibernia Homestead Bank from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank effective in January 2009.

Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings as losses are estimated to have occurred in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level to provide for probable credit losses related to specifically identified loans and for losses inherent in the loan portfolio that have been incurred as of the balance sheet date. The reserve is comprised of specific reserves and a general reserve.
Specific reserves are assessed for each loan that is reviewed for impairment or for which a probable loss has been identified. The reserve related to loans that are identified as impaired is based on discounted expected future cash flows using the loan's initial effective interest rate, the observable market value of the loan, or the estimated fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. Factors contributing to the determination of specific reserves include the financial condition of the borrower, changes in the value of pledged collateral and general economic conditions. General reserves are established based on historical charge-offs considering factors that include risk rating, concentrations and loan type. For the general reserve, management also considers trends in delinquencies and non- accrual loans, concentrations, volatility of risk ratings and the evolving mix in terms of collateral, relative loan size and the degree of seasoning within the various loan products.


Table of Contents

Changes in underwriting standards, credit administration and collection policies, regulation and other factors which affect the credit quality and collectability of the loan portfolio also impact the reserve levels. The reserve for loan losses is based on management's estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio; actual credit losses may vary from the current estimate. The reserve for loan losses is reviewed periodically, taking into consideration the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, past charge-off experience, general economic conditions and other factors that warrant current recognition. As adjustments to the reserve for loan losses become necessary, they are reflected as a provision for loan losses in current-period earnings. Actual loan charge-offs are deducted from and subsequent recoveries of previously charged-off loans are added to the reserve.
A loan loss provision of $15,000 was made to the allowance during the three months ended March 31, 2009. No provision was made during the three months ended March 31, 2008. To the best of management's knowledge, the allowance is maintained at a level believed to cover all known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio, both probable and reasonable.
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina affected the residents and businesses within the Hibernia's market area. The adverse financial impacts of this event on the Bank's loan portfolio were recognized at that time. Management continues to closely monitor the loan portfolio, and no substantial additional losses directly related to Hurricane Katrina have been experienced to date. However, the extent to which the still affected areas within the Company's market eventually recover is unknown at this time as are the ultimate adverse additional impacts that might have, if any, on the Company's loan portfolio. Liquidity and Capital Resources
Hibernia maintains levels of liquid assets deemed adequate by management. Hibernia adjusts its liquidity levels to fund deposit outflows, repay its borrowings and to fund loan commitments. Hibernia also adjusts liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives.
Hibernia's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and to a lesser extent, rental income and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Hibernia sets the interest rates on its deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, the Company invests excess funds in short-term interest-earning accounts and other assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. Hibernia Homestead Bancorp's cash and cash equivalents amounted to $3.7 million at March 31, 2009.
A significant portion of the Hibernia's liquidity consists of non-interest earning deposits. Primary sources of cash are principal repayments on loans and increases in deposit accounts. If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, which provide an additional source of funds. At March 31, 2009, Hibernia did not have any advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and had $20.4 million in borrowing capacity. Additionally, at March 31, 2009, the Bank was a party to a Master Purchase Agreement with First National Banker's Bank whereby First National Banker's Bank may sell to Hibernia Homestead Bank federal funds in an amount not to exceed $4.3 million. As of March 31, 2009, Hibernia Homestead Bank had $-0- of federal funds purchased from First National Banker's Bank.


Table of Contents

At March 31, 2009, the Bank had outstanding loan commitments of $1.7 million to originate loans. At March 31, 2009, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $17.2 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In addition, in a rising interest rate environment, the cost of such deposits could be significantly higher upon renewal. The Bank intends to utilize its liquidity to fund its lending activities.
Hibernia Homestead Bank is required to maintain regulatory capital sufficient to meet tier 1 leverage, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 4.0%, 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively. At March 31, 2009, Hibernia Homestead Bank exceeded each of its capital requirements with ratios of 32.9%, 67.4% and 68.4%, respectively.
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 and lines of credit. Our exposure to credit loss from non-performance by the other party to the above-mentioned financial instruments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. In general, we do not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk.
Commitments. The following table summarizes our outstanding commitments to originate loans and to advance additional amounts pursuant to outstanding letters of credit, lines of credit and undisbursed construction loans at March 31, 2009.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented herein regarding Hibernia Homestead Bancorp, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which generally require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of Hibernia's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on the Company's performance than does the effect of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates.
