DSA Financial also announced its financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and the twelve months ended June 30, 2018. The Company recorded net earnings of $273,000 or $0.20 per share which reflected an increase of $120,000 or $0.10 per share, as compared to the $153,000 or $0.10 per share for the same quarter ended June 30, 2017.  In addition, the Company recorded net income of $826,000 or $0.60 per share for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2018, which reflected an increase of $109,000 or $0.14 per share, as compared to the twelve month period ended June 30, 2017.

Net earnings for the twelve months ended June 30, 2018 were $826,000, an increase of $109,000, or 15.2%, as compared to the twelve month period ended June 30, 2017.  The increase in earnings was primarily attributed to a $352,000 increase in other income and a $155,000 decrease in general, administrative and other expense partially offset by a $121,000 decrease in net interest income, a $20,000 increase in provision for losses on loans and a $257,000 increase in income taxes.  Other income was significantly higher due to increases in gain on sale of loans to the secondary market, gain on sale of other assets and the recognition of mortality income on BOLI insurance.  Income taxes were significantly higher due to a one-time charge in the second quarter to reduce the carrying value of its deferred tax assets due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
