NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the nine- and three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

On March 2, 2005, First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Hazard (“First Federal of Hazard” or the “Association”) completed a Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan” or the “Reorganization”) pursuant to which the Association reorganized into the mutual holding company form of ownership with the incorporation of a stock holding company, Kentucky First Federal Bancorp (the “Company”) as parent of the Association. Coincident with the Reorganization, the Association converted to the stock form of ownership, followed by the issuance of all the Association’s outstanding stock to Kentucky First Federal Bancorp. Completion of the Plan of Reorganization culminated with Kentucky First Federal Bancorp issuing 4,727,938 common shares, or 55% of its common shares, to First Federal Mutual Holding Company (“First Federal MHC”), a federally chartered mutual holding company, with 2,127,572 common shares, or 24.8% of its shares offered for sale at $10.00 per share to the public and a newly formed Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). The Company received net cash proceeds of $16.1 million from the public sale of its common shares. The Company’s remaining 1,740,554 common shares were issued as part of the $31.4 million cash and stock consideration paid for 100% of the common shares of Frankfort First Bancorp (“Frankfort First”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Frankfort First Federal Savings Bank (“Frankfort First Federal”). The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and resulted in the recordation of goodwill and other intangible assets totaling $15.4 million.

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which represent the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company, were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the nine- and three-month periods ended March 31, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for an entire fiscal year.

2. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Frankfort First, and its wholly-owned banking subsidiaries, First Federal of Hazard and Frankfort First Federal (collectively hereinafter “the Banks”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

3. Critical Accounting Policies

We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. We consider the allowance for loan losses and accounting for goodwill to be critical accounting policies.

The allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary to cover probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio at the date of these interim financial statements. The allowance is established through the provision for losses on loans which is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this accounting policy as one of the most critical for the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the nine- and three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

3. Critical Accounting Policies (continued)

Management of the Banks perform a monthly evaluation of the allowance for loan losses. Consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews, volume and mix of the loan portfolio and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to change. Management considers the economic climate in the lending areas to be among the factors most likely to have an impact on the level of the required allowance for loan losses. However, in view of the fact that the Banks’ local economies are diverse, without significant dependence on a single industry or employer, the economic climate in the Banks’ market areas are considered to be stable, and improving. Nevertheless, management continues to monitor and evaluate factors which could have an impact on the required level of the allowance. Nationally, management will watch for issues that may negatively affect a significant percentage of homeowners in the Banks’ lending areas. These may include significant increases in unemployment or significant depreciation in home prices. Management reviews employment statistics periodically when determining the allowance for loan losses and generally finds the unemployment rate in the Banks’ lending areas to be acceptable in relation to historical trends. Given the aforementioned indicators of economic stability, management does not foresee in the near term, any significant increases in the required allowance for loan losses related to economic factors. Finally, Company management has no current plans to alter the type of lending offered or collateral accepted by the Banks, but if such plans change or market conditions result in large concentrations of certain types of loans, such as commercial real estate or high loan-to-value ratio residential loans, management would respond with an increase in the overall allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses analysis has two components, specific and general allocations. Specific allocations are made for loans that are determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. The general allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan, risk-weighting (if applicable) and payment history. Historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations are also analyzed. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general reserve. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance established, which could have a material negative effect on the Company’s consolidated financial results.

The Company has recorded goodwill and core deposit intangibles as a result of its acquisition of Frankfort First. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the net book value of the assets acquired in a merger or acquisition. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit annually or whenever an impairment indicator arises. The evaluation involves assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units and comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. However, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, goodwill is considered impaired. The impairment loss equals the excess of carrying value over fair value.

Core deposit intangibles represent the value of long-term deposit relationships and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company annually evaluates these estimated useful lives. If the Company determines that events or circumstances warrant a change in these estimated useful lifes, the Company will adjust the amortization of the core deposit intangibles, which could affect future amortization expense.

4. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period less shares in the Company’s ESOP that are unallocated and not committed to be released. Weighted average common shares deemed outstanding give effect to 301,262 unallocated ESOP shares for the nine- and three-month periods ended March 31, 2007, and 319,152 unallocated ESOP shares for the nine- and three-month periods ended March 31, 2006.

5. Stock Plans

On November 15, 2005, the Company approved a Stock Incentive Plan that provides for grants of up to 421,216 stock options. On December 13, 2005, approximately 347,600 option shares were granted subject to five year vesting.

Prior to July 1, 2006, the Company utilized APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan. As the Stock Incentive Plan was approved late in the December 31, 2005 quarter, no pro-forma disclosures have been provided for the nine months ended March 31, 2006.

In 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS No. 123(R) requires that cost related to the fair value of all equity-based awards to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the nine- and three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

5. Stock Plans (continued)

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) effective July 1, 2006, using the modified prospective transition method, and therefore has not restated its financial statements for prior periods. Under this method, the Company has applied the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) to new equity-based awards and would apply them to equity-based awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after July 1, 2006. In addition, the Company will recognize compensation cost for the portion of equity-based awards for which the requisite service period has not been rendered (“unvested equity-based awards”) that are outstanding as of July 1, 2006. The compensation cost recorded for unvested equity-based awards is based on their grant-date fair value. For the nine and three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recorded $91,000 and $30,000, respectively, in compensation cost for stock option-based awards ($60,000 and $20,000, respectively, after-tax). The Company had $457,000 of unrecognized pre-tax compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards granted under its stock incentive plan as of March 31, 2007, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of approximately 3.6 years. There is no intrinsic value to the outstanding or granted options as of March 31, 2007.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option plan as of March 31, 2007, and changes during the period then ended is presented below:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the nine- and three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

5. Stock Plans (continued)

The expected term of options is based on evaluations of historical and expected future employee exercise behavior. The risk free interest rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at grant date. Volatility is based upon the historical volatility of the Company’s stock.

The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the modified Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants: dividend yield of 3.96%, expected volatility of 20%, a risk-free interest rate of 4.49% and an expected life of 7 years for each grant.

The Company’s Stock Incentive plan also provides for the awarding of 168,486 shares of restricted common stock. At March 31, 2007, 134,500 shares under the Equity Incentive Plan have been awarded. For the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized expense related to this plan totaling $205,000 and $99,000, respectively, representing vesting of fair valued grants over a five year period.

6. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140,” to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. Specifically, SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities,” to allow a qualifying special purpose entity to hold a derivative instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.

SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, or July 1, 2007 as to the Corporation, with earlier application allowed. The Corporation is currently evaluating SFAS No. 155, but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of SFAS No. 140,” to simplify the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. Specifically, SFAS No. 156 amends SFAS No. 140 to require an entity to take the following steps:

	•	Separately recognize financial assets as servicing assets or servicing liabilities, each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into certain kinds of servicing contracts;
	•	Initially measure all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities at fair value, if practicable, and;
	•	Separately present servicing assets and liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.

Additionally, SFAS No. 156 permits, but does not require, an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for measuring each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 also permits a servicer that uses derivative financial instruments to offset risks on servicing to use fair value measurement when reporting both the derivative financial instrument and related servicing asset or liability.

SFAS No. 156 applies to all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, or July 1, 2007 as to the Corporation, with earlier application permitted. The Corporation is currently evaluating SFAS No. 156, but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB 108 was issued to provide consistency between how registrants quantify financial statement misstatements.

Historically, there have been two widely-used methods for quantifying the effects of financial statement misstatements. These methods are referred to as the “roll-over” and “iron curtain” method. The roll-over method quantifies the amount by which the current year income statement is misstated. Exclusive reliance on an income statement approach can result in the accumulation of errors on the balance sheet that may not have been material to any individual income statement, but which may misstate one or more balance sheet accounts. The iron curtain method quantifies the error as the cumulative amount by which the current year balance sheet is misstated. Exclusive reliance on a balance sheet approach can result in disregarding the effects of errors in the current year income statement that results from the correction of an error existing in previously issued financial statements. We currently use the roll-over method for quantifying identified financial statement misstatements.

SAB 108 established an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatement on each of the company’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. This approach is commonly referred to as the “dual approach” because it requires quantification of errors under both the roll-over and iron curtain methods.

SAB 108 allows registrants to initially apply the dual approach either by (1) retroactively adjusting prior financial statements as if the dual approach had always been used, or by (2) recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the dual approach as adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of July 1, 2006, with an offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of that date. Use of this “cumulative effect” transition method requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose.

Management is currently evaluating the requirements of SAB 108 but does not expect it to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Specifically, FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax provision taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the related derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure, and transition of uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, or July 1, 2007 as to the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of FIN 48 and has not quantified the possible effects of adoption, if any.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and should be determined based on assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. This Statement clarifies that market participant assumptions should include assumptions about risk as well as the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. Additionally, this Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that provides the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, or July 1, 2008 for the Company, and interim periods within that year. The adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force’s (EITF) Issue 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” which required companies to recognize a liability and related compensation costs for endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies that provide a benefit to an employee extending to postretirement periods. The liability should be recognized based on the substantive agreement with the employee. The Issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, or July 1, 2008, as to the Company. The Issue can be applied as either a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earningas as of the beginning of the year of adoption, or a change in accounting principle through retrospective application to all periods. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of Issue 06-4 will have on the financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB ratified a consensus opinion reached by the EITF on EITF Issue 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance – Determining the Amount that Could be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4.” The guidance in EITF Issue 06-5 required policyholders to consider other amounts included in the contractual terms of an insurance policy, in addition to cash surrender value, for purposes of determining the amount that could be realized under the terms of the insurance contract. If it is probable that contractual terms would limit the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract, those contractual limitations should be considered when determining the realizable amounts. The amount that could be realized under the insurance contract should be determined on an individual policy (or certificate) level and should include any amount realized on the assumed surrender of the last individual policy or certificate in a group policy.

The Company holds several life insurance policies, however, the policies do not contain any provisions that would restrict or reduce the cash surrender value of the policies. The consensus in EITF Issue 06-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, or July 1, 2007 as to the Company. The application of this guidance is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” This Statement allows companies the choice to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, or July 1, 2008, as to the Company, and interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the financial statements, but does not presently believe it will have a material adverse effect on financial position or results of operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. When used herein, the terms “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “believes,” and similar expressions as they relate to Kentucky First Federal Bancorp or its management are intended to identify such forward looking statements. Kentucky First Federal Bancorp’s actual results, performance or achievements may materially differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause or contribute to such material differences include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, prices for real estate in the Company’s market areas, interest rate environment, competitive conditions in the financial services industry, changes in law, governmental policies and regulations, and rapidly changing technology affecting financial services.

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2006 to March 31, 2007

Assets: At March 31, 2007, the Company’s assets totaled $267.2 million, an increase of $5.3 million, or 2.0%, from total assets at June 30, 2006. The primary reason for the growth in assets was an increase of $9.0 million, or 5.8%, in loans receivable, which increased to $165.1 million at March 31, 2007. The increase in loans receivable was composed primarily of variable rate real estate mortgage loans and was primarily funded by an increase in short-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances. It is anticipated that such advances will be repaid as the Company’s short-term, lower-yielding investment securities mature over the next three years. Management has emphasized the origination and retention of adjustable rate mortgage loans and, as the ability to make such loans changes with market conditions, believes it is prudent to continue to originate such loans with the funding that is available.

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $526,000 or 22.9%. It is the Company’s preference to minimize the level of cash and cash equivalents and invest liquidity into higher-yielding assets, when possible. Cash was drawn down to partially fund the overall increase in loans which is discussed more fully under “Loans.”

Loans: Loans receivable, net, increased to $164.4 million at March 31, 2007, an increase of $9.0 million or 5.8% compared to the June 30, 2006, level. Management believes that the successful redeployment of the Company’s funds from lower-yielding cash, cash equivalents and investment securities to higher-yielding mortgage loans is important for the long-term success of the Company. The Company will continue to emphasize loan originations to the extent that it is profitable and prudent.

Non-Performing Assets: At March 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $895,000, or 0.5% of net loans, in loans 90 days or more past due, compared to $1.4 million, or 0.9%, of net loans at June 30, 2006. At March 31, 2007, the Company’s allowance for loan losses of $720,000 represented 80.4% of nonperforming loans and 0.4% of total loans.

The Company had $1.7 million in loans classified as substandard for regulatory purposes at March 31, 2007. On a percentage basis, classified loans declined from 1.1% of net loans at June 30, 2006 to 1.0% at March 31, 2007. Substandard assets included 28 single-family home loans with loan-to-value ratios (percentage of loan balance to the original or an updated appraisal) ranging from 10% to approximately 100%; two mortgage loans (first and second) secured by a duplex (with an overall 70% loan-to-value ratio), and three single-family homes acquired through foreclosure. The real estate acquired through foreclosure had a recorded investment of $213,000 and an estimated fair value of $248,000. Subsequent to March 31, 2007, the Company sold one piece of real estate acquired through forclosure and originated a loan to a new borrower, with no material gain or loss realized on the transaction.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2006 to March 31, 2007 (continued)

Non-Performing Assets (continued)

At March 31, 2007, the Company had $845,000 in loans classified as special mention. This category includes assets which do not currently expose us to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification, but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving our close attention. At March 31, 2007, no loans were classified as doubtful or loss for regulatory purposes.

Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities: At March 31, 2007, the Company’s investment and mortgage-backed securities had decreased $3.7 million or 4.8% to $73.7 million. This decrease was due primarily to the maturity of $2.1 million of investment securities and repayment of principal on mortgage-backed securities which were partially offset by a net increase of $388,000 in the market value of investments and mortgage-backed securities held as available for sale. Approximately $42.9 million of the Company’s investment and agency securities are scheduled to mature within the next three years with another $5.0 million are scheduled to mature within five years.

Liabilities: At March 31, 2007, the Company’s liabilities totaled $204.9 million, an increase of $6.8 million, or 3.4%, from total liabilities at June 30, 2006. The increase in liabilities was attributed primarily to an $8.8 million, or 16.0%, increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, which increased to $63.6 million at March 31, 2007. Of these borrowings, approximately $22.0 million were short-term advances which reprice monthly. Such advances were utilized to fund the increase in loans during the period as well as offset a reduction of $2.1 million, or 1.5% in deposits, which totaled $139.1 million at March 31, 2007. Deposits have decreased as market interest rates have increased. At times, the Company has chosen not to meet market rates if the deposits cannot be invested profitably in interest-earning assets. As stated previously, management anticipates reducing the level of Federal Home Loan Bank advances as lower-yielding investment securities mature over the next three years.

Shareholders’ Equity: At March 31, 2007, the Company’s shareholders’ equity totaled $62.3 million, a decrease of $1.6 million or 2.6% from the June 30, 2006 total. The primary reason for the decrease in shareholders’ equity was the acquisition of $1.9 million of treasury shares at an average cost of $10.31 per share.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

General

Net earnings totaled $649,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $615,000, or 48.7% from the $1.3 million in net earnings for the same period in 2006. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in net interest income.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income declined $885,000 or 17.8% to $4.1 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, compared to the 2006 period. The decrease in net interest income was due primarily to increased cost of funds. Although interest income increased by $88,000, or 0.9%, to $9.7 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, interest expense increased $973,000 or 21.1% to $5.6 million for the same period. The increase in interest expense was attributable to increased costs for both deposits and advances.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 (continued)

Net Interest Income (continued)

Interest expense on deposits increased $438,000 or 14.7% to $3.4 million, and interest expense on advances increased $535,000, or 33.0%, to $2.2 million for the nine-month 2007 period compared to the prior nine month period. The increase in interest expense on deposits was due to an increase in the average rate paid on deposits, as the average balance of deposits outstanding declined for the respective nine-month periods. The average rate paid on deposits increased 107 basis points to 3.28% for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, while the average balance outstanding declined 8.6% to $139.1 million for the current period ended. The increase in interest expense on advances was attributable both to increases in the average balance outstanding and the average rate paid on those advances. The average balance of advances outstanding increased $10.1 million, or 19.8%, to $61.1 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007. The average rate paid on advances increased by 47 basis points to 4.71% for the 2007 nine month period. Net interest margin decreased by 43 basis points to 2.26% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, compared to 2.69% for the comparable 2006 period.

Provision for Losses on Loans

The Company charges a provision for losses on loans to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered appropriate by management based on historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Banks, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to the Banks’ market areas and other factors related to the collectibility of the Banks’ loan portfolio. The Company recorded no provision for losses on loans during the nine months ended March 31, 2007, compared to a provision of $32,000, for the comparable nine-month period in 2006. The lack of a provision for the most recent period was influenced by the relatively stable level of nonperforming loans discussed above (See “Critical Accounting Policies”). There can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance will be adequate to absorb unidentified losses on loans in the portfolio, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

Other Income

Other income totaled $134,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $52,000 from the same period in 2006. The decrease in the 2007 period is attributable primarily to a decline of $14,000 in gain on sale of loans, the absence of a $13,000 in gain on sale of equipment recorded in the 2006 period, and a decline of $11,000 in gain on sale of real estate acquired through foreclosure.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 (continued)

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense totaled $3.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $24,000, or 0.7%, compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease was due to a combination of decreases in both other operating expenses and occupancy and equipment, and was partially offset by an increase in employee compensation and benefits. Other operating expenses totaled $457,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $88,000, or 16.1%, from the same period in 2006. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $253,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $28,000 or 10.0% compared to the 2006 period. The decrease in occupancy and equipment was primarily related to reduced depreciation expense associated with computer equipment. Other operating expense decreased from $545,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 to $457,000 for the nine months just ended, a decrease of $88,000 or 16.1%, and was primarily related to reduced legal and other outside service fees. Employee compensation and benefits increased from $2.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 to $2.3 million for the recently ended period, an increase of $99,000 or 4.5%. The net increase in employee compensation and benefits was related to increased expenses associated with the Company’s retirement plans and the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, but was somewhat offset by lower overall employee compensation levels period to period. Expenses associated with the Company’s multi-employer defined benefit retirement plans totaled $381,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $274,000 for the 2006 period, an increase of $107,000 or 39.1% period to period. The expenses associated with the Equity Incentive Plan totaled $296,000 for the recent nine-month period, compared to $139,000 for the prior year period. The Equity Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders in November 2005. Employee salaries decreased from $1.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 to $1.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $116,000 or 9.2% from period to period.

Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes totaled $304,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, an decrease of $266,000, or 46.7%, compared to the same period in 2006. The effective tax rates were 31.9% and 31.1% for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

General

Net earnings totaled $211,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $113,000, or 34.9% from the $324,000 in net earnings for the same period in 2006. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in net interest income.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income declined $278,000 or 17.3% to $1.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, compared to the 2006 period, due to increased cost of funds. While interest income increased by $74,000, or 2.3%, interest expense increased $352,000 or 22.4% to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The growth in interest expense was attributable to increased costs for both deposits and advances.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 (continued)

Net Interest Income (continued)

Interest expense on deposits increased $157,000 or 15.2% to $1.2 million, and interest expense on advances increased $195,000, or 36.2%, to $733,000 for the 2007 quarter compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in interest expense on deposits was due an increase in the average rate paid on deposits, as the average balance of deposits outstanding declined for the quarterly periods year over year. The average rate paid on deposits increased 105 basis points to 3.43% for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, while the average balance outstanding declined 6.0% to $139.1 million for the current quarter. The increase in interest expense on advances was attributable both to increases in the average balance outstanding and the average rate paid on those advances. The average balance of advances outstanding increased $10.9 million, or 21.0%, to $62.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2007. The average rate paid on advances increased 52 basis points to 4.66% for the 2007 quarter. Net interest margin decreased by 46 basis points to 2.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to 2.64% for the comparable 2006 quarter.

Provision for Losses on Loans

The Company charges a provision for losses on loans to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered appropriate by management based on historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Banks, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to the Banks’ market areas and other factors related to the collectibility of the Banks’ loan portfolio. The Company recorded no provision for losses on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to a provision of $8,000, for the comparable three-month period in 2006. The lack of a provision for the most recent period was influenced by the stable level of nonperforming loans discussed above (See “Critical Accounting Policies”). There can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance will be adequate to absorb unidentified losses on loans in the portfolio, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

Other Income

Other income totaled $51,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $13,000 from the same period in 2006. The decrease in the 2007 period is attributable primarily to a decline of $20,000 other operating income, which consists primarily of the absence of a $13,000 in gain on sale of equipment and a $7,500 reversal of a charitable contribution, both of which were recorded in the 2006 period.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense totaled $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $133,000, or 11.1%, compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in employee compensation and benefits, which totaled $732,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $89,000, or 10.8%, from the same period in 2006. The decrease in employee compensation and benefits is primarily related to reductions in employee compensation and the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan expense. Employee salaries decreased $71,000 or 16.7% to $358,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007. The expenses associated with the Equity Incentive Plan totaled $91,000 for the recent quarterly period, compared to $104,000 for the prior year period, a decrease of $13,000 or 12.5%.
