LEVITTOWN, Pa., Feb. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --  William Penn Bancorp, Inc. (OTCBB: WMPN) announced net income of $636,000 ($0.17 per basic and diluted share) for the three months ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $660,000 ($0.18 per basic and diluted share) for the same period last year. Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $2,198,000, representing a decrease of $175,000 as compared to net interest income of $2,373,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. This was partially offset by a $134,000 decrease in provision for loan losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the same period last year.  William Penn Bancorp, Inc. had assets of $3.12 million at December 31, 2012 as compared to $3.16 million at June 30, 2012.

Net income for six months ended December 31, 2012 was $1,409,000 ($0.39 per basic and diluted share) as compared to $1,306,000 ($0.36 per basic and diluted share) for the same period ending December 31, 2011.

This reduction is attributable to a $132,000 write down of the value of a property held in Real Estate Owned during the six months ended December 31, 2011.

A dividend of $0.20 per share was declared in July of 2012 and paid to shareholders in August of 2012 compared to a $0.15 per share dividend for the same period last year.
