LAWRENCEBURG, Ind., April 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DSA Financial Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: DSFN) announced its financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010. The Company recorded net earnings of $218,000 or $0.14 per share reflecting an increase of $6,000 or 2.8%, as compared to the same quarter ended March 31, 2009, when the Company reported net earnings of $212,000, or $0.13 per share.

The quarter-to-quarter increase in earnings was attributed primarily to an increase of $122,000 or 13.8%, in net interest income, offset by a $73,000 or 94.8%, increase in provision for losses on loans and a $43,000 or 18.5%, decrease in other income.

The decrease in earnings was attributed primarily to an increase of $408,000 or 306.8%, in provision for losses on loans and a $135,000 or 6.5%, increase in general, administrative and other expense, partially offset by a $323,000 or 12.3%, increase in net interest income, a $121,000 or 25.5% increase in other income and a $48,000 or 16.9%, decrease in income taxes. General, administrative and other expense was higher primarily due to increased FDIC insurance premiums and expenses related to property acquired through foreclosure including legal fees.
