NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
 
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of Operations – 1st Security Bank of Washington (the “Bank”) is a mutually-owned savings bank chartered in the State of Washington with six branches in suburban communities in the greater Puget Sound area. The Bank provides loan and deposit services to customers who are predominantly small and middle-market businesses and individuals in western Washington. FS Bancorp, Inc. ("FS Bancorp"), a Washington corporation, was formed in connection with the conversion of 1st Security Bank of Washington from the mutual to the stock form of organization which was completed on July 9, 2012.  As of the reporting date of June 30, 2012, the conversion had not been completed and FS Bancorp, Inc. had not issued any shares of its common stock had no assets or liabilities and had not conducted any business other than that of an organizational nature.  Based on the foregoing, the information presented is for 1st Security Bank of Washington, the subsidiary of FS Bancorp, Inc.
 
Financial Statement Presentation – The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These condensed financial statements include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the interim periods presented have been reflected as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto included in FS Bancorp, Inc.’s registration statement (Form S-1). All dollar amounts shown in the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements are in thousands.
 
Plan of Conversion – The Board of Trustees of the Bank (hereafter referred to as the “Board of Directors”) approved a Plan of Conversion (the “Plan”) which provided for the conversion of the Bank from a Washington State chartered mutual savings bank to a Washington State chartered stock savings bank pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). As part of the conversion, the Plan provided for the concurrent formation of a holding company, FS Bancorp, Inc. (the “Holding Company”) that will own 100% of the common stock of the Bank. Following receipt of all required regulatory approvals, the approval of the depositors of the Bank eligible to vote on the Plan and the satisfaction of all other conditions precedent to the conversion, the Bank consummated the conversion, which was completed on July 9, 2012.
 
Upon the consummation of the conversion, the legal existence of the Bank did not terminate, but the stock bank is a continuation of the mutual bank. The stock bank holds and enjoys the same in its own right as fully and to the same extent as the same was possessed, held, and enjoyed by the mutual bank. The stock bank, at the time and the taking effect of the conversion, succeeded to all the rights, obligations, and relations of the mutual bank.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
 
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
At the time of conversion, the Bank  established a liquidation account in an amount equal to its total net worth, approximately $27.9 million, as of the latest statement of financial condition appearing in the final prospectus. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible depositors who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after the conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible depositors have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation, each eligible depositor will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then held. The liquidation account balance is not available for payment of dividends, and the Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.
 
Conversion costs were deferred and deducted from the proceeds of the shares sold in the offering during the third quarter of 2012. As of June 30, 2012, there were conversion costs totaling $1,769 which had been deferred, and were included in other assets.  Total conversion costs were netted against capital raised in the mutual-to-stock conversion transaction on July 9, 2012.
 
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term are the allowances for loan losses, fair value of other real estate owned (“OREO”), and the determination of a need for a valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset.
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation with no change to net income or equity previously reported.
 
 
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03—Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements impacting FASB ASC 860-40, Transfers and Servicing. Entities that enter into repurchase and similar agreements will be required to account for even more of the transactions as secured borrowings. The amendment changes the assessment of effective control by focusing on the transferor’s contractual rights and obligations and removing the criterion to assess its ability to exercise those rights or honor those obligations. This update becomes effective for the Bank on a prospective basis for new transfers and modifications of existing transactions as of the beginning of the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Bank’s financial statements.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04—Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This update clarifies the methodologies and assumptions to be used by entities applying fair value measures, expands disclosure of qualitative factors used in determining fair values, and provides guidance on measuring the fair value of financial instruments included within equity. This update was effective for the Bank on a prospective basis for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. This updated guidance impacted financial statement disclosures, but did not have an effect on the Bank’s financial statements.
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05—Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This update provides an option to entities reporting comprehensive income to present the components of net income, other comprehensive income, and total comprehensive income within a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This update becomes effective for the Bank on a retrospective basis in the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. This updated guidance impacted the presentation of the components of comprehensive income, but did not have an effect on Bank’s financial statements.
 
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The objective of this ASU is to enhance disclosures and provide converged disclosures under U.S. GAAP and IFRS about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset on the statement of financial position or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset on the statement of financial position. This ASU requires disclosure of both net and gross information for these assets and liabilities. The new guidance will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-2, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The objective of this ASU is to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible asset by simplifying how an entity test those assets for impairment and improve consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories.  The update provides the option to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test.  A quantitative impairment calculation is required if based on the qualitative assessment that it is “more likely than not” that the asset is impaired. The new guidance will be effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.

There were seven investments with unrealized losses of less than one year as of June 30, 2012. There were five investments with unrealized losses of less than one year as of December 31, 2011 and one investment with an unrealized loss for more than one year.  The unrealized losses associated with this investment is believed to be caused by changing market conditions that are considered to be temporary and the Bank has the intent and ability to hold these securities until recovery, and is not likely to be required to sell.  Accordingly, no other-than-temporary impairment write-downs were recorded for the periods ended June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The three loan portfolio segments are: (a) Real Estate Loans, (b) Consumer Loans and (c) Commercial Business Loans. Each of these segments is disaggregated into classes based on the risk characteristics of the borrower and/or the collateral type securing the loan.

Credit Quality Indicators
 
As part of the Bank’s on-going monitoring of credit quality of the loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the risk grading of loans, (ii) the level of classified loans, (iii) net charge-offs, (iv) non-performing loans and (v) the general economic conditions in the Bank’s market.
 
The Bank utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to its real estate and commercial business loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 10, with loans in risk grades 1 to 6 considered “Pass” and loans in risk grades 7 to 10 are reported as classified loans in our allowance for loan loss analysis.

Consumer loans that represent generally smaller balance homogenous loans, are evaluated on a pool basis until such time as a loan becomes past due more than 90 days. Loans that are current or less than 90 days past due are graded “Pass” risk grade 4 loans. Loans that are past due more than 90 days are classified “Substandard” risk grade 8.

NOTE 6 – DEPOSITS (Continued)
 
 
The Bank had related-party deposits of approximately $570 and $396 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which includes deposits held for directors and executive officers.
 
 
NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
 
There was no provision for income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2012 or for the comparable periods in 2011. As a result of prior period losses, there was no tax provision or benefit in either periods and consequently our combined effective income tax rate for both periods was 0%.
 
At June 30, 2012, the Bank had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $6,405, which begins to expire in 2024. The Bank files a U.S. Federal income tax return, which is subject to examinations by tax authorities for years 2008 and later.  As of June 30, 2012, December 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011, the Bank recorded a valuation allowance of $2,851, $3,209, and $3,487, respectively.
 
A valuation allowance must be used to reduce deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some portion of, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Both positive and negative evidence must be considered to determine the amount in the valuation allowance. This information includes, but is not limited to taxable income in prior periods, projected future income, and projected future reversals of deferred tax items. The Bank must use judgment to determine whether negative evidence is outweighed by positive evidence. The weights given to each piece of evidence should be according to the ability to objectively verify the evidence.  Despite earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and the full years of 2011 and 2010, the Bank carries a full valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets of $2,851 as of June 30, 2012.  Management will continue to evaluate all available positive and negative evidence in its determination of the need for a deferred tax valuation in the third quarter.
 
At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Bank had no uncertain tax positions. The Bank recognizes interest and penalties in tax expense. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Bank recognized no interest and penalties.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Commitments – The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet.
 
The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of the Bank’s commitments at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:

Commercial Business Loans
    24,855       31,789  
Total commitments to extend credit
  $ 77,079     $ 58,709  

 
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the party. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing commercial properties.
 
At June 30, 2012, the Bank had $13,042 in customer interest rate locks (loan locks) to finance one-to-four family loans saleable into the secondary market.  These locks are offset with forward commitments to investors using “best effort” contracts.  Best effort commitments have limited financial risk if the Bank is unable to deliver the loan to the investor.

Unfunded commitments under commercial lines-of-credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines-of-credit are uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and ultimately may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Bank is committed.
 
Because of the nature of its activities, the Bank is subject to various pending and threatened legal actions, which arise in the ordinary course of business.  From time to time, subordination liens may create litigation related to the Bank defending its lien rights.   In the opinion of management, liabilities arising from these claims, if any, will not have a material effect on the financial position of the Bank.
 
In the matter of McClain v 1st Security Bank of Washington, Cause No.: 10-2-10798-1, Charles McClain sued 1st Security Bank of Washington in December 2010, seeking damages for conversion, 5th Amendment due process violation and breach of fiduciary duty. In his complaint, the Plaintiff sought actual damages in the amount of $8.8 million, consequential damages of $50 million, and punitive damages of $35.1 million. 1st Security Bank of Washington counterclaimed against the Plaintiff alleging violations of Civil Rule 11 and malicious prosecution.
 
The Plaintiff’s claims arose out of our discovery of a fraudulent internet scheme under which a large amount of money was erroneously deposited into the Plaintiff’s account at the 1st Security Bank of Washington. The victims of the fraud, Cox Communications, Inc. and Comcast Cable, Inc., directed electronic payments to Plaintiff’s account thinking that they were paying a mutual vendor, completely unrelated to Plaintiff. The erroneous deposits were in excess of $4.2 million dollars. We discovered the fraud and at the request of the victims, returned the funds to the victim’s banks. Pursuant to Automated Clearing House rules, we received letters of indemnity from both Cox and Comcast, under which those entities agreed to pay our costs and fees in defending the lawsuit. We vigorously defended the case. On December 31, 2011, both parties had summary judgment motions pending. On January 27, 2012, the Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment was denied. Our motion for summary judgment was granted and all of Plaintiff’s claims were dismissed with prejudice. The only claims remaining in this lawsuit are our counterclaims. We are evaluating whether we will seek to prosecute our counterclaims against the Plaintiff and are working with Cox and Comcast to determine if they will pay the legal costs associated therewith. On February 24, 2012, the Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal to the Washington State Court of Appeals, Division I.  On July 13, 2012, the Plaintiff's appeal was dismissed and the case was remanded to the Superior Court for further proceedings.

NOTE 9 – REGULATORY CAPITAL
 
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory – and possibly additional discretionary – actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines of the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
 
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to total average assets (as defined), and minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined).
 
At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action to be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Bank assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair value of the Bank's financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may either be favorable or unfavorable to the Bank. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed interest rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising interest rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling interest rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed interest rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising interest rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling interest rate environment. Management monitors interest rates and maturities of assets and liabilities, and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans, and deposits, and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Bank’s overall interest rate risk.
 
Accounting guidance regarding fair value measurements defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The following definitions describe the levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 -
Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
Level 2 -
Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
 
Level 3 -
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
 
 
Determination of Fair Market Values:
 
Securities – Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of investments and MBS are provided by a third-party pricing service.  These valuations are based on market data using pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available current trade, bid and other market information, and for structured securities, cash flow and loan performance data.  The pricing processes utilize benchmark curves, benchmarking of similar securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing.  Option adjusted spread models are also used to assess the impact of changes in interest rates and to develop prepayment scenarios.  All models and processes used take into account market convention (Level 2).
 
Impaired Loans – Fair value adjustments to impaired collateral dependent loans are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on the current appraised value of the collateral or internally developed models, which contain management’s assumptions (Level 3).
 
Other Real Estate Owned and Other Repossessed Assets – Fair value adjustments to other real estate owned (“OREO”) and other repossessed assets are recorded at the lower the of carrying amount of the loan or fair value less selling costs. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations such that the real estate is carried at the lower of its new cost basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell (Level 3).

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
 
Fair Values of Financial Instruments – The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating the fair values of financial instruments disclosed in these financial statements:
 
Cash and Due from Banks and Interest-Bearing Deposits at Other Financial Institutions – The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate their fair value (Level 1).
 
Securities Available-for-Sale – Fair values for securities available-for-sale are based on quoted market prices (Level 2).
 
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock – The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates its fair value (Level 2).
 
Loans Held for Sale – The carrying amounts of loans held for sale approximate their fair value (Level 2).
 
Loans Receivable, net – For variable rate loans that re-price frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers or similar credit quality. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable (Level 3).
 
Mortgage Servicing Rights – The fair value is determined by calculating the net present value of expected cash flows using a model that incorporates assumptions used in the industry to value such rights (Level 3).
 
Deposits – The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity date is included at the amount payable on demand. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation on interest rates currently offered on similar certificates (Level 2).
 
Borrowings – The carrying amounts of advances maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values. The fair values of long-term advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Bank’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements (Level 2).
 
Accrued Interest – The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair value (Level 2).
 
Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments – The fair value of commitments to extend credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreement and the present creditworthiness of the customers. The majority of the Bank’s off-balance-sheet instruments consist of non-fee producing, variable-rate commitments; the Bank has determined they do not have a distinguishable fair value.  The fair value of loan lock commitments with customers and investors reflect an estimate of value based upon the interest rate at lock date and the interest rate at quarter end (Level 3).

Overview
 
1st Security Bank of Washington (the " Bank") has been serving the Puget Sound area since 1936.  Originally chartered as a credit union, previously known as Washington’s Credit Union, we served various select employment groups.  On April 1, 2004, we converted from a credit union to a Washington state-chartered mutual savings bank.  On July 10, 2008, our board of directors unanimously adopted a plan of conversion to convert from the mutual to the stock form of organization.  Due to market conditions and regulatory issues, the process was put on hold.  On August 18, 2011, the board of directors voted to move forward with the conversion, which was completed subsequent to June 30, 2012.  On July 9, 2012, 1st Security Bank of Washington converted from the mutual form of organization (meaning no shareholders) to the stock form of organization and became the wholly owned subsidiary of FS Bancorp, Inc., a new Washington corporation.  FS Bancorp, Inc. now owns all of the capital stock of 1st Security Bank of Washington.  All of the common stock of FS Bancorp, Inc. is owned by public shareholders and our tax qualified employee benefit plans.

On June 18, 2012, the stock offering period was closed.   On June 22, 2012, a member vote was held for the approval of the conversion.  On July 9, 2012, the transaction was finalized with 3,240,125 common shares issued, raising $32.4 million in proceeds.  From the proceeds the Holding Company made a capital contribution of $15.5 million to the Bank.  The Holding Company stock now trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol FSBW.  See Note 11 – Subsequent Event.

We are a relationship-driven community bank.  We deliver banking and financial services to local families, local and regional businesses and industry niches within distinct Puget Sound area communities.  We emphasize long-term relationships with families and businesses within the communities we serve, working with them to meet their financial needs.  We are also actively involved in community activities and events within these market areas, which further strengthens our relationships within these markets.

1st Security Bank of Washington is a diversified lender with a focus on the origination of home improvement loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans, commercial business loans and second mortgage/home equity loan products.  Consumer loans, in particular indirect home improvement loans to finance window replacement, gutter replacement, siding replacement, and other improvement renovations, represent the largest portion of the loan portfolio and have traditionally
 

 
34
 
 

 
FS BANCORP, INC.



 
been the mainstay of our lending strategy.  As of June 30, 2012, consumer loans represented 46.0% of our total portfolio, down from 51.7% at December 31, 2011 due to growth in other lending channels, with indirect home improvement loans representing 70.3% of the total consumer loan portfolio.

Our indirect home improvement lending is reliant on our relationships with home improvement contractors and dealers.  Our indirect home improvement contractor/dealer network is currently comprised of approximately 160 active contractors and dealers with businesses located throughout Washington and Oregon, with approximately 10 contractors/dealers responsible for more than half of this loan volume.  As a result of the recent economic downturn and contraction of credit to both contractors/dealers and their customers, there has been an increase in business closures and our existing contractor/dealer base has experienced decreased sales and loan volume.  In order to maintain our indirect home improvement loan volume, we are considering expanding this line of business into the State of California.  We are currently preparing to test the California market with a limited number of contractors/dealers with whom our lenders have had previous experience.  To the extent we determine to move forward with our indirect home improvement lending program in California, we anticipate that these California loans will represent no more than 20% of the total consumer loan portfolio.  As of June 30, 2012, no indirect home improvement loans were originated through the California dealers.

Going forward, an emphasis will be placed on diversifying our lending products by expanding our commercial real estate, commercial business and residential construction lending, while maintaining the current size of our consumer loan portfolio.  Further, as a result of demand by depository customers, we reintroduced in-house originations of residential mortgage loans during the fourth quarter of 2011, primarily for sale into the secondary market, through a mortgage banking program.  Our lending strategies are intended to take advantage of: (1) our historical strength in indirect consumer lending, (2) recent market dislocation that has created new lending opportunities and the availability of experienced bankers, and (3) our strength in relationship lending. Retail deposits will continue to serve as a primary funding source.

1st Security Bank of Washington is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs.  Deposit flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on time deposits, other investments, account maturities, and the overall level of personal income and savings.  Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, the number and quality of lenders, and regional economic cycles.  Sources of funds for lending activities of 1st Security Bank of Washington include primarily deposits, including brokered deposits, borrowings, payments on loans and income provided from operations.

Our earnings are primarily dependent upon our net interest income, the difference between interest income and interest expense.  Interest income is a function of the balances of loans and investments outstanding during a given period and the yield earned on these loans and investments.  Interest expense is a function of the amount of deposits and borrowings outstanding during the same period and interest rates paid on these deposits and borrowings.  Our earnings are also affected by our provision for loan losses, service charges and fees, gains from sales of assets, operating expenses and income taxes.

On April 5, 2012, President Obama signed into law the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act), which establishes a new category of issuer called an emerging growth company.  We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under the JOBS Act.  We will remain an emerging growth

company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to:

 
·
not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (we also will not be subject to the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) as long as we are a “smaller reporting company,” which includes issuers that had a public float of less than $75 million as of the last business day of their most recently completed second fiscal quarter);

 
·
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and

 
·
exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)  for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Under this provision, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. However, we have elected to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.  Our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

Certain of our accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain.  Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances.  Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.  Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses, the fair value of other real estate owned and the need for a valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset.  Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 to the Financial Statements in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC (SEC Registration No. 333-177125).

Allowance for Loan Loss.  The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date.  The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to income.  Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment.  Among the material estimates required to establish the allowance are: loss exposure at default; the amount and timing of future cash flows on impacted loans; value of collateral; and determination of loss factors to be applied to the various elements of the portfolio.  All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change.  Management reviews the level of the allowance at least quarterly and establishes the provision for loan losses based upon an evaluation of the portfolio, past loss experience, current economic conditions and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio.  Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation.  As we add new products, increase the complexity of the loan portfolio, and expand our market area, we intend to enhance and adapt our methodology to keep pace with the size and complexity of the loan portfolio. Changes in any of the above factors could have a significant effect on the calculation of the allowance for loan losses in any given period. Management believes that its systematic methodology continues to be appropriate given our size and level of complexity.

Other Real Estate Owned.  Property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure is recorded at fair value, less cost to sell.  Development and improvement costs relating to the property are capitalized.  The carrying value of the property is periodically evaluated by management and, if necessary, allowances are established to reduce the carrying value to net realizable value.  Gains or losses at the time the property is sold are charged or credited to operations in the period in which they are realized.  The amounts that we will ultimately realize from the sale of other real estate owned may differ substantially from the carrying value of the assets because of market factors beyond our control or because of changes in management’s strategies for recovering the investment.

Income Taxes.  Income taxes are reflected in our financial statements to show the tax effects of the operations and transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred taxes.  Accounting Standards Codification, ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for deferred income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.  They are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled and are determined using the assets and liability method of accounting.  The deferred income provision represents the difference between net deferred tax asset/liability at the beginning and end of the reported period.  In formulating our deferred tax asset, we are required to estimate our income and taxes in the jurisdiction in which we operate.  This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure for the reported period together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation and the provision for loan losses, for tax and financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax assets are attributable to deductible temporary differences and carryforwards. After the deferred tax asset has been measured using the applicable enacted tax rate and provisions of the enacted tax law, it is then necessary to assess the need for a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is needed when, based on the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, available evidence is weighted heavily on cumulative losses with less weight

placed on future projected profitability. Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on whether there will be sufficient future taxable income of the appropriate character in the period during which deductible temporary differences reverse or within the carryback and carryforward periods available under tax law. Based upon the available evidence, management determined that a full valuation allowance to offset the net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was required.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011

Assets.  Total assets increased $57.1 million, or 20.1%, to $340.9 million at June 30, 2012 from $283.8 million at December 31, 2011, primarily as a result of a $28.1 million, or 12.9%, increase in net loans receivable, a $14.0 million, or 72.6%, increase in cash and equivalents, and an $11.0 million, or 40.8%, increase in securities available-for-sale.

Loans receivable, net, increased $28.1 million, or 12.9%, to $245.2 million at June 30, 2012 from $217.1 million at December 31, 2011.  Real estate secured loans increased $14.2 million, or 22.4%, to $77.7 million at June 30, 2012 from $63.5 million at December 31, 2011, primarily as a result of an $8.4 million, or 82.8%, increase in residential construction lending, a $2.8 million, or 32.1% increase in one-to-four family loans and a $1.9 million, or 6.6%, increase in commercial real estate loans. Consumer loans were essentially at the same level having a net increase of $446,000, or 0.4%, to $114.7 million at June 30, 2012 from $114.2 million at December 31, 2011, as a result of a $3.6 million, or 14.7% increase in recreational loans partially offset by a $575,000, or 0.7%, decrease in indirect home improvement loans and a $2.1 million, or 35.4%, decrease in automobile loans. Commercial business loans increased $13.6 million, or 31.4%, to $57.0 million at June 30, 2012 from $43.3 million at December 31, 2011.  The increase in commercial business loans was attributable to lower interest rates, which drove refinance activity with our warehouse lending borrowers.

Our allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2012 was $4.3 million, or 1.7% of gross loans receivable, compared to $4.3 million, or 2.0% of gross loans receivable, at December 31, 2011.  Non-performing loans, consisting of non-accruing loans, decreased to $1.7 million at June 30, 2012 from $2.2 million at December 31, 2011, primarily due to net charge-offs totaling $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012.  At June 30, 2012, our non-performing loans consisted of $878,000 of commercial loans, $244,000 of home equity loans, and $259,000 of consumer loans and $357,000 of commercial business loans.  Non-performing loans to total loans decreased to 0.7% at June 30, 2012 from 1.0% at December 31, 2011.  Other real estate owned totaled $3.0 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $4.6 million at December 31, 2011.  The $1.6 million or 35.7% reduction in other real estate owned reflects the sale of $2.0 million in other real estate owned and write-downs to fair value of $594,000 during the period.  At June 30, 2012, we also had $3.3 million in restructured loans of which $2.2 million were performing in accordance with their modified terms and $1.1 million was on non-accrual.

Liabilities. Total liabilities increased $56.0 million, or 21.8%, to $313.0 million at June 30, 2012, from $257.0 million at December 31, 2011.  Deposits increased $61.0 million, or 24.7%, to $307.4 million at June 30, 2012 from $246.4 million at December 31, 2011.  The increase in deposits was due to a $41.7 million, or 360.5%, increase in savings accounts due to the subscription funds held pending completion of the IPO, an $8.0 million, or 8.3%, increase in time deposits, a $6.5 million, or 16.4%, increase in interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing checking accounts, and a $4.7 million, or 4.8%, increase in money market accounts.  The increase in checking and money market accounts was impacted by our continued emphasis on increasing core deposits, which included increased deposits associated with our commercial lending relationships, while the increase in time deposits was primarily as a result of a $7.0 million increase in brokered deposits. The increase in savings accounts was related to funds deposited with the Bank to purchase stock in connection with its mutual to stock conversion and related stock offering.

Our total borrowings, which consisted of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, decreased $4.8 million, or 53.9%, to $4.1 million at June 30, 2012 from $8.9 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease in borrowings was related to our continued focus on reducing non-core funding and the success of our customer retention programs.

Equity. Total equity increased $1.1 million, or 4.2%, to $27.9 million at June 30, 2012 from $26.8 million at December 31, 2011. The increase primarily was a result of net income of $898,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and unrealized securities gains during the same period. 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

General.  Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $621,000 compared to net income of $443,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The increase in net income was primarily attributable to a $615,000, or 18.8%, increase in net interest income and a $565,000, or 101.4%, increase in noninterest income partially offset by a $1.0 million, or 36.0% increase in noninterest expense. The increase in noninterest income was primarily impacted by $445,000 in gains on sale of loans from the Bank’s new residential mortgage banking operations.  The increase in noninterest expense was related to investments in our new lending channels

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $898,000 compared to net income of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to a $1.7 million, or 30.3%, increase in noninterest expense partially offset by a $905,000, or 13.6%, increase in net interest income and a $744,000, or 67.6%, increase in noninterest income.  The increase in noninterest income was primarily impacted by $551,000 in gains on sale of loans from the Bank’s new residential mortgage banking operations.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $615,000, or 18.8%, to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in net interest income was attributable to a $436,000 increase in interest income resulting from a shift of funds during the period from lower yielding cash and cash equivalents to higher yielding investment securities, as well as an increase in the average balance of our loan portfolio, and a $179,000 decrease in interest expense, primarily due to a reduction of our overall cost of funds.

Net interest income increased $905,000, or 13.6%, to $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in net interest income was attributable to a $365,000 decrease in interest expense, primarily due to a reduction in our overall cost of funds and an increase in interest income resulting from a shift of funds during the period from lower yielding cash and cash equivalents to higher yielding investment securities, as well as an increase in the average balance of our loan portfolio.  The increase in cash and cash equivalents occurred at the end of the period and resulted from subscription orders in the stock offering.

Our net interest margin increased 25 basis points to 5.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from 4.98% for the same period of the prior year, primarily due to a shift in funds during the period from lower yielding cash and cash equivalents into higher yielding investment securities and a lower level of non-performing loans, coupled with a 40 basis point decline in our overall cost of funds.

Interest Income. Interest and dividend income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased $436,000, or 10.7%, to $4.5 million, from $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase during the period was primarily attributable to the increase in the average balance of our investment and mortgage-backed securities during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period last year, partially offset by a twelve basis point decrease in the yield earned on loans.

Interest and dividend income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased $540,000, or 6.5%, to $8.8 million, from $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase during the period was primarily attributable to the increase in the average balance of our investment and mortgage-backed securities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period last year, partially offset by a nine basis point decrease in the yield earned on loans.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $179,000, or 22.6%, to $613,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $792,000 for the same period of the prior year.  As a result of general market rate decreases, the average cost of funds for total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 33 basis points to 0.97% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 1.38% for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The decrease was due to a decline in rates paid on our certificates of deposit, partially offset by the higher average balances for savings and money market accounts which carry a lower cost of funds.  The average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities

increased $23.5 million, or 10.2%, to $253.8 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012, from $230.3 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Interest expense decreased $365,000, or 22.4%, to $1.3 million for the six months ended June, 2012, from $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  As a result of general market rate decreases, the average cost of funds for total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 40 basis points to 1.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 1.42% for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The decrease was due to a decline in rates paid on our certificates of deposit, partially offset by the higher average balances for savings and money market accounts which carry a lower cost of funds.  The average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities increased $17.3 million, or 7.5%, to $247.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $229.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses was $550,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $565,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The $15,000 decrease in the provision primarily relates to the improved asset quality and lower net charge-offs.

Our provision for loan losses increased $35,000 to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The $35,000 increase in the provision primarily relates to the $28.1 million increase in net loans in 2012.  Non-performing loans were $1.7 million or 0.7% of total loans at June 30, 2012, compared to $1.9 million, or 0.9% of total loans at June 30, 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, net charge-offs totaled $1.1 million compared to $2.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased $565,000, or 101.4 %, to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $557,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase during the period was primarily due to $445,000 in gains associated with the sale of mortgage loans to the secondary market as part of the home lending initiative started in the third quarter of 2011.  In addition, a $94,000 increase was due to the sale of taxable municipal investments.   Service charges and fee income increased $30,000, or 6.3%, during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Noninterest income increased $744,000, or 67.6%, to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to $551,000 in gains associated with the sale of mortgage loans to the secondary market as part of the home lending initiative started in the third quarter of 2011.  The sale of taxable investments netted a gain of $106,000.  In addition, other noninterest income increased $34,000 or 21.4%, and service charges and fee income increased $53,000, or 5.6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period of the prior year.  The increase in other noninterest income was primarily due to income associated with an early lease termination payment made by a tenant in our corporate headquarters and the increase in service charges and fee income was due to the increased volume in warehouse lending.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $1.0 million, or 36.0% to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  Changes in noninterest expense included a $528,000, or 39.5%, increase in salaries and benefit costs associated with the addition of staff in our new and expanded lending platforms, a $171,000 increase in write-downs of our other real estate owned to fair value, a $170,000 or 37.4% increase in operation costs, a $58,000 increase in depreciation expense associated with accelerated depreciation for

the remodeling of the administrative office, partially offset by a $84,000 decrease in FDIC assessment costs.

Noninterest expense increased $1.7 million, or 30.3% to $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  Changes in noninterest expense included an $881,000, or 32.9%, increase in salaries and benefit costs associated with the addition of staff in our new and expanded lending platforms, a $529,000 increase in write-downs of our other real estate owned to fair value, a $183,000 increase in operation costs and a $104,000 increase in depreciation expense associated with accelerated depreciation for the remodeling of the administrative office, partially offset by a $161,000 decrease in FDIC assessment costs.

Our efficiency ratio, which is our noninterest expense as a percentage of net interest income and noninterest income, was 79.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 73.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and 76.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to 73.7% for the same period in the prior year.  The higher efficiency ratio was primarily attributable to the increase in expenses associated with the sale of other real estate owned and additional compensation expenses associated with the implementation and development of our expanded platforms.

Provision for Income Tax. There was no provision for income tax for the six months ended June 30, 2012 or for the comparable period in 2011. As a result of prior period losses, there was no tax provision or benefit in either period and consequently our combined effective income tax rate for both periods was 0%. The Bank has reported pre-tax income in 2010, 2011 and the first and second quarters of 2012, which provides positive evidence that the trend of losses during the recession has been reversed.  This positive trend in the Bank’s profitability and the completion of the initial public offering are significant factors that influence management’s analysis of the requirement for a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets. Despite earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and the full years of 2011 and 2010, the Bank carries a full valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets of $2.9 million as of June 30, 2012, and $3.2 million as of December 31, 2011.  Management will continue to evaluate all available positive and negative evidence in its determination of the need for a deferred tax valuation in the third quarter.

Liquidity

Management maintains a liquidity position that it believes will adequately provide funding for loan demand and deposit run-off that may occur in the normal course of business.  We rely on a number of different sources in order to meet our potential liquidity demands.  The primary sources are increases in deposit accounts, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, sale of securities available-for-sale, cash flows from loan payments and maturing securities.

As of June 30, 2012, our total borrowing capacity was $27.3 million with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle, with unused borrowing capacity of $23.2 million at that date. The Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing limit is based on certain categories of loans, primarily real estate loans, that qualify as collateral for Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  As of June 30, 2012, the Bank held approximately $45.8 million in loans that qualify as collateral for Federal Home Loan Bank advances.   In addition to the availability of liquidity from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle, we maintained a short-term borrowing line, with a current limit of $83.1 million at June 30, 2012, with the Federal Reserve Bank and a $6.0 million unsecured short-term borrowing line with Pacific Coast Bankers’ Bank.  The Federal Reserve Bank borrowing limit is based on certain categories of loans, primarily consumer loans that qualify as collateral for Federal Reserve Bank line of credit.  As of

FS BANCORP, INC.



June 30, 2012, the Bank held approximately $108.4 million in loans that qualify as collateral for Federal Reserve Bank line of credit.  As of June 30, 2012, $4.1 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances were outstanding and no advances were outstanding against the Federal Reserve Bank line of credit.  Our Asset Liability Management Policy permits management to utilize brokered deposits up to 20% of deposits or $61.5 million as of June 30, 2012.  Total brokered deposits as of June 30, 2012 were $11.2 million.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of Bank management.  Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments, such as overnight deposits and federal funds.  On a longer-term basis, we maintain a strategy of investing in various lending products and investment securities, including U.S. Government obligations and federal agency securities.  We use our sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing commitments, pay maturing deposits and fund withdrawals, and to fund loan commitments.  At June 30, 2012, the approved outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines of credit, amounted to $77.1 million.  Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in six months or less at June 30, 2012, totaled $44.9 million.  It is management’s policy to offer deposit rates that are competitive with other local financial institutions.  Based on this management strategy, we believe that a majority of maturing deposits will remain with 1st Security Bank of Washington.  For additional information see the Statements of Cash Flows in Item 1.

Capital Resources

1st Security Bank of Washington is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the FDIC.  Based on its capital levels at June 30, 2012, 1st Security Bank of Washington exceeded these requirements as of that date.  Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy is for 1st Security Bank of Washington to maintain a “well-capitalized” status under the capital categories of the FDIC.  Based on capital levels at June 30, 2012, 1st Security Bank of Washington was considered to be well-capitalized.

At June 30, 2012, equity totaled $27.9 million.  Management monitors the capital levels of 1st Security Bank of Washington to provide for current and future business opportunities and to meet regulatory guidelines for “well-capitalized” institutions.  1st Security Bank of Washington’s actual capital ratios are presented in the following table:

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

Not required by smaller reporting companies.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")) as of June 30, 2012, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company's senior management. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures in effect as of June 30, 2012, were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

In addition, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FS BANCORP, INC.




The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
