(the Company) (OTCBB: MDSN), the holding company for Madison Square Federal Savings Bank, reported a profit of $213,700 or $0.37 per basic and diluted common share for the year ended March 31, 2013 as compared to a net loss of $10,500 or ($0.02) per basic and diluted common share for the year ended March 31, 2012.

Balance Sheet

Total assets decreased from $155.2 million at March 31, 2012 to $149.9 million at March 31, 2013.  The decrease was primarily due to decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $5.9 million and net loans receivable of $1.4 million, which were partially offset by increases in investment securities available-for-sale of $2.9 million.

Total deposits decreased to $134.7 million at March 31, 2013 from $140.2 million at March 31, 2012.  This was primarily due to a decrease in our higher cost certificates of deposit partially offset by an increase in savings deposit accounts.

Income Statement

During the year ended March 31, 2013, the Company benefited from decreases in both interest and noninterest expenses as compared to the year ended March 31, 2012.  The Company also benefited from gains on the sale of investment securities, gains on the disposal of property and reductions to the provision for ground rent losses, partially offset by decreases in interest revenue for the year ended March 31, 2012.

President and Chief Executive Officer Michael P. Gavin commented, "We are pleased by the progress achieved and the improvement in our operating results for this recently completed fiscal year. We must continue to remain practical, however, and consider the many challenges facing the banking industry as a whole, including the continued low interest rate environment, the increasing complexity of regulatory requirements and the uncertainty of our current economic environment, while continuing to focus on asset quality, manage our expenses and provide quality banking services to our customers."
