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, First Federal Savings Bank of Frankfort (“First Federal of Frankfort”). 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 balance sheets 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, except for the ESOP adjustments referenced below) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the six- and three-month periods ended December 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for an entire fiscal year. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

1. Basis of presentation (continued)

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired.

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired.

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Company determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the loss history experience of the Company over the most recent three years and a rolling average of the current year’s loss history. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. The following portfolio segments have been identified: residential real estate, nonresidential real estate, loans on deposits and consumer and other loans.

1. Basis of presentation (continued)

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or “Commission”) Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 (“SAB108”) provides guidance on quantifying and evaluating the materiality of unrecorded misstatements. SAB 108 requires that a company uses both the “iron curtain” and “rollover” approaches when quantifying misstatement amounts. Under the rollover approach, the error is quantified as the amount by which the current year income statement is misstated. The iron curtain approach, however, quantifies the error as the cumulative errors using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach – and evaluate whether either of these approaches results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material.

The Company has performed an analysis of its unrecorded misstatements using both the rollover and iron curtain approaches. Using the rollover method, management concluded that none of its unrecorded misstatements were material to its current period or prior periods’ financial statements. Under the iron curtain method, however, management concluded that the Company’s adjustment related to additional compensation associated with its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) was material to the current period’s financial statements, but using the rollover method was immaterial to its prior periods’ financial statements. This misstatement was related to an error associated with the release of shares to ESOP participants. The Company recorded a one-time entry to retained earnings to correct the unrecorded misstatements on the balance sheet. The SAB 108 entries posted in the six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and the effect on retained earnings and net income were as follows:

(in thousands)	Effect on Retained Earnings			Effect on Current Year’s Earnings
Recording of prior years’ additional ESOP compensation expense	$	(223	)	$	—

Income tax effect of the item above		76			—

Net SAB 108 effect		(147	)		—

The understatement of ESOP expense was discovered in the three month period ended December 31, 2010, when the company was notified pursuant to a review by the United States Department of Labor (“DOL”) that the Company had incorrectly calculated the number of shares required to be released to participants of its ESOP. The incorrect method of calculating shares was in place from March 2, 2005 through June 30, 2010. The Company is working with the DOL to take the necessary corrective action with regard to the ESOP. There is no current year effect for the adjustment related to the additional ESOP compensation expense, which is applicable to prior periods.

There were 339,200 stock option shares outstanding for each of the six- and three-month periods ended December 31, 2009, which were antidilutive for the respective periods.

4. New Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures — Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” The update requires new disclosures including significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. Also, the ASU provides an update on the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the update on the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses,” which requires significant new disclosures about the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of financing receivables, which for the Company includes loans and standby letters of credit. The requirements are intended to enhance transparency regarding credit losses and the credit quality of loan and lease receivables. Under this standard, allowance for loan losses is to be disclosed by portfolio segment, while credit quality information, impaired loans and nonaccrual status are to be presented by class. Disclosure of the nature and extent, the financial impact and segment information of troubled debt restructurings will also be required. The disclosures are to be presented at the level of disaggregation that management uses when assessing and monitoring the portfolio’s risk and performance. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-20 resulted in additional quarterly disclosures regarding the allowance for credit losses and credit financing receivables.

Our securities holdings consist of agency mortgage-backed securities, which do not have a single maturity date and a U.S. Treasury note that matures in January 2011.

There were no sales of investment securities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 or the six-month period ended December 31, 2010.

We evaluated securities in unrealized loss positions for evidence of other-than-temporary impairment, considering duration, severity, financial condition of the issuer, our intention to sell or requirement to sell. Management does not believe other-than-temporary impairment is evident.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

9. Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

ASC topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. Level 2 securities include agency mortgage-backed securities.

Impaired Loans

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent independent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for difference between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Independent appraisals for collateral-dependendent loans are updated periodically (usually every 9-12 months).

9.	Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (continued)

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of this collateral for collateral-dependent loans, with allocated allowance for loan losses had a carrying amount of $5.4 million with a valuation allowance of $904,000 at June 30, 2010.

The following disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, whether or not recognized in the consolidated statement of financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For financial instruments where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value and other valuation methods.

The methods used are greatly affected by the assumptions applied, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Therefore, the fair values presented may not represent amounts that could be realized in an exchange for certain financial instruments.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying statements of financial condition at amounts other than fair value at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010:

Cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits: The carrying amounts presented in the consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents are deemed to approximate fair value.

Held-to-maturity securities: For held-to-maturity securities, fair value is estimated by using pricing models, quoted price of securities with similar characteristics, which is level 1 pricing for the U.S. Treasury securities and level 2 pricing for the other securities..

Loans held for sale: Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are determined by FHLB pricing schedules.

Loans: The loan portfolio has been segregated into categories with similar characteristics, such as one- to four-family residential, multi-family residential and nonresidential real estate. These loan categories were further delineated into fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans. The fair values for the resultant loan categories were computed via discounted cash flow analysis, using current interest rates offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. For loans on deposit accounts and consumer and other loans, fair values were deemed to equal the historic carrying values.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock: It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Accrued interest receivable: The carrying amount is the estimated fair value.

Deposits: The fair value of NOW accounts, passbook accounts, and money market deposits are deemed to approximate the amount payable on demand. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit have been estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation using the interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

9.	Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (continued)

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank: The fair value of these advances is estimated using the rates currently offered for similar advances of similar remaining maturities or, when available, quoted market prices.

Advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance and accrued interest payable: The carrying amount presented in the consolidated statement of financial condition is deemed to approximate fair value.

Commitments to extend credit: For fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loan commitments, the fair value estimate considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and committed rates. The fair value of outstanding loan commitments at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, was not material.

Based on the foregoing methods and assumptions, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 are as follows:

10.	Subsequent event

Subsequent to December 31, 2010, the Company reached a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service regarding a claim made by the Company for a $1.4 million deduction, which was previously disallowed by the Service and resulted in the Company’s loss of an anticipated $443,000 tax refund. The Company had filed a law suit in the United States Tax Court claiming that it was entitled to deduct payments that it had made with regard to stock options in March 2005. The payments were coincident with the initial transactions which were executed during the creation of the Company and joined the business entities of the two subsidiary banks. The court decision, which was signed by the appropriate judge on February 3, 2011, stated that the Company is entitled to a refund of $403,706 plus interest. The Company anticipates that the tax benefit will be recognized in its statement of operations for the three-month period ending March 31, 2011.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2010 to December 31, 2010

Assets: At December 31, 2010, the Company’s assets totaled $241.4 million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 1.9%, from total assets at June 30, 2010. This increase was attributed primarily an increase in investment securities.

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2.5 million to $5.8 million at December 31, 2010. It is management’s intention to continue deploying excess liquidity into mortgage loans and investment securities to the extent possible, while maintaining adequate liquidity at all times.

Loans: Loans receivable, net, decreased by $2.0 million or 1.0% to $188.6 million at December 31, 2010, including a $68,000 provision for allowance for loan losses during the six-month period. Management continues to look for high-quality loans to add to its portfolio and will continue to emphasize loan originations to the extent that it is profitable and prudent.

Non-Performing Loans: At December 31, 2010, the Company had non-performing loans of approximately $7.3 million, or 3.82% of total loans, compared to $7.8 million or 4.05%, of total loans at June 30, 2010. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s allowance for loan losses of $1.6 million represented 21.55% of nonperforming loans and 0.82% of total loans compared to an allowance balance of $1.5 million at June 30, 2010, representing 19.72% of nonperforming loans and 0.8% of total loans.

The Company had $7.5 million in assets classified as substandard for regulatory purposes at December 31, 2010, including loans and real estate acquired through foreclosure (“REO”). Classified loans as a percentage of net loans was 3.8% and 3.7% at December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. All substandard loans were secured by residential property on which the banks have priority lien position. The table below summarizes substandard loans at December 31, 2010:

	Number
	of		Carrying
	Loans		Value

1-4 family, owner occupied		30	$	1,489
1-4 family, non-owner occupied		16		2,010
Multi-family, non-owner occupied		5		3,660
Total substandard loans		51	$	7,159

Included in classified loans is one credit relationship which was determined to be impaired during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009. Since that time foreclosure action has been commenced against the borrower and for the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company has been overseeing the rental units under its assignment of rents. At December 31, 2010, loans to this borrower totaled $4.7 million, which had been written down to their estimated fair value of $3.8 million and have underlying collateral of 1-4 family residential rental units.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2010 to December 31, 2010 (continued)

At December 31 2010, the Company had $69,000 of loans classified as special mention compared to $269,000 at June 30, 2010. 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 December 31, 2010, no loans were classified as doubtful or loss for regulatory purposes.

REO at December 31, 2010, included five single-family homes and a small building lot with an aggregate carrying value of $342,000.

Mortgage-Backed and other Securities: At December 31, 2010, the Company’s investment and mortgage-backed securities had increased $9.4 million or 97.3% to $19.1 million. Shortly after the quarter-ended December 31, 2010, the Company’s $11.0 million short-term investment in a U.S. Treasury note matured and the short-term FHLB advance used to finance the investment was repaid.

Liabilities: At December 31, 2010, the Company’s liabilities totaled $183.3 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 2.3%, from total liabilities at June 30, 2010. The increase in liabilities was attributed primarily to a $6.2 million, or 19.3%, increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, which increased to $38.2 million at December 31, 2010, while deposits decreased $1.7 million or 1.2% to $143.3 million at December 31, 2010. Shortly after the quarter-ended December 31, 2010, an $11.0 million short-term FHLB advance was repaid with proceeds from a matured short-term U.S. Treasury note.

Shareholders’ Equity: At December 31, 2010, the Company’s shareholders’ equity totaled $58.2 million, an increase of $349,000 or 0.6% from the June 30, 2010 total.

The Company paid dividends of $555,000 or 73.3% of net income for the six-month period just ended. First Federal MHC has waived its right to dividends on its common shares of the Company. The Company believes that a strong dividend is appropriate in light of the high level of capital that both banks now have. At December 31, 2010, capital on a consolidated basis and at each of the banks exceeded the level necessary to be considered “well capitalized” and was sufficient, in management’s opinion, to support foreseeable growth. Management cannot speculate on future dividend levels. Various factors, including capital levels, income levels, liquidity levels, regulatory requirements and overall financial condition of the Company are considered before dividends are declared. However, management continues to believe that a strong dividend is consistent with the Company’s long-term capital management strategy.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six-Month Periods Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009

General

Net income totaled $757,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $928,000 from the net loss of $(171,000) for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to lower provision for loan losses. Also contributing to the increase in net income was an increase in net interest income between periods.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six-Month Periods Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 (continued)

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $537,000 or 17.3% to $3.6 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2010, compared to the 2009 period, due to interest expense decreasing at a faster pace than interest income. Interest income decreased by $287,000, or 5.0%, to $5.5 million, while interest expense decreased $824,000 or 31.1% to $1.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

Interest income on loans decreased $123,000 or 2.3% to $5.2 million, due primarily to a decrease in the average rate earned on the loan portfolio. The average balance of loans outstanding for the six month period ended December 31, 2010, increased $230,000 or 0.1% to an average of $190.9 million for the six months just ended, while the average rate earned declined 14 basis points to 5.40% for the period just ended. Interest income on mortgage-backed residential securities and other securities decreased $59,000 or 23.4% and $90,000 or 98.9%, respectively, to $193,000 and $1,000, respectively, for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in the income from securities was related to reduced volume, as securities matured and principal from mortgage-backed securities flowed back to the Company. There were no sales of investments during the six month period just ended.

Interest expense on deposits and borrowings both declined period to period. Interest expense on deposits decreased $421,000 or 22.9% to $1.4 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2010, while interest expense on borrowings declined $403,000 or 49.9% to $404,000 for the same period. The decline in interest expense on deposits was attributed primarily to a reduction in the average rate paid on the deposits, as the average balance of deposits increased period to period. The average rate paid on deposits decreased 65 basis points to 1.97% for the most recent period, while the average balance of deposits increased $4.0 million or 2.9% to $144.3 million. The decline in interest expense on borrowings was attributed primarily to lower rates paid on those borrowings outstanding, as the average rate paid declined 205 basis points to 2.49% for the most recent period. The average balance of borrowings outstanding decreased $3.1 million or 8.6% to $32.5 million for the recently ended six-month 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 a provision for losses on loans of $68,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2010, compared to a provision of $1.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009. 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.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $154,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $26,000 from the same period in 2009, primarily as a result of an increase of $33,000 or 55.9% in net gains on sales of loans. The Company continues to sell long-term, fixed rate mortgages to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati under the relationship that has been used for a number of years.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six-Month Periods Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 (continued)

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense totaled $2.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $135,000, or 5.5%, compared to the same period in 2009. The increase was due primarily to an increase in other operating expense.

Other operating expense totaled $442,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $115,000, or 35.2%, from the same period in 2009, primarily as a result of increased OREO expenses, legal fees and other outside service fees. OREO expenses were $33,000 for the most recent six-month period, compared to $7,000 for the year ago period, and were primarily attributed to water damage sustained in a single dwelling unit. Legal fees were $69,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $29,000 or 72.5%, due chiefly to the Company’s ongoing dispute with the Internal Revenue Service. Outside service fees increased $33,000 or 99.2% to $67,000 for the quarter just ended, and were associated with various consulting work and fees related to filing the Company’s amended Securities and Exchange Commission reports.

Federal Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Federal income taxes totaled $369,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $460,000, compared to a provision for credit of federal income tax of $91,000 for the prior year period, which was associated with a net loss from operations. The effective tax rates were 32.8% and (34.7%) for the six month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three-Month Periods Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009

General

Net income totaled $424,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $221,000 or 108.9% from the net income of $203,000 for the same period in 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $301,000 in net interest income and was partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $5,000.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $301,000 or 19.0% to $1.9 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2010, compared to the 2009 period, due to interest expense decreasing at a faster pace than interest income. Interest income decreased by $139,000, or 4.9%, to $2.7 million, while interest expense decreased $440,000 or 34.3% to $842,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Interest income on loans decreased $57,000 or 2.2% to $2.6 million, due primarily to a decrease in the average rate earned on the loan portfolio. The average balance of loans outstanding for the three month period ended December 31, 2010, decreased $525,000 or 0.3% to an average of $190.8 million for the three months just ended, while the average rate earned declined 11 basis points to 5.40%. Interest income on investments and mortgage-backed securities decreased $73,000 or 43.7% to $94,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, primarily as a result of maturity of the investment securities. The average balance of other securities outstanding declined from $5.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 to $3.0 million for the current period ended, while mortgage-backed residential securities decreased $2.8 million or 24.3% to $8.7 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2010. The average rate earned on mortgage-backed securities remained at 4.26% during the comparable periods, while the average rate earned on other securities decreased 325 basis points to 0.14% for the period just ended.

Interest expense on deposits and borrowings both declined period to period. Interest expense on deposits decreased $210,000 or 23.6% to $681,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 2010, while interest expense on borrowings declined $230,000 or 58.8% to $161,000 for the same period. The decline in interest expense on deposits was attributed primarily to a reduction in the average rate paid on the deposits, as the average balance of deposits increased period to period. The average rate paid on deposits decreased 66 basis points to 1.88% for the most recent period, while the average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $4.1 million or 2.9% to $144.6 million. The decline in interest expense on borrowings was attributed both to lower interest rates paid and lower average borrowings outstanding. The average balance of borrowings declined $2.8 million or 7.9% to $32.5 million for the most recent period, while the average rate paid on borrowings decreased 246 basis points to 1.98% for the recently ended three-month period.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $74,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $13,000 from the same period in 2009, primarily as a result of an increase in the gain on sales of loans. The gain on sale of loans was $64,000 for the recent quarter ended, an increase of $33,000 or 106.5%, compared three month period in 2009. Somewhat offsetting the increase in gain on sale of loans was an increase in loss on sale of OREO. The $39,000 loss on sale of OREO for the recent quarterly period, was $24,000, or 160.0% higher compared with the prior year period.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense totaled $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $5,000, or 0.4%, compared to the same period in 2009. The increase was due primarily to an increase in other operating expenses. Other operating expense totaled $234,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $92,000, or 64.8%, from the same period in 2009, primarily as a result of increased OREO expenses and outside service fees. OREO expenses were $33,000 for the most recent quarterly period, while outside service fees increased $20,000 or 152.5% to $34,000 for the quarter just ended.

Federal Income Tax Expense

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

This item is not applicable as the Company is a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and a material weakness identified as of June 30, 2010 (see the Company’s Form 10-K filed October 6, 2010), the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective. In response to the material weakness the Company is working with its external audit firm to revise its procedures.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Company was notified pursuant to a review by the United States Department of Labor (“DOL”) that the Company had incorrectly calculated the number of shares required to be released to participants of its ESOP. The incorrect method of calculating shares was in place from March 2, 2005 through June 30, 2010. The Company is working with the DOL to take the necessary corrective action with regard to the ESOP. As a result of the DOL notice, the Company recorded a prior period adjustment of $147,000 to retained earnings for additional ESOP expense, net of tax, for the revised number of shares required to be released. See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Management is evaluating actions to be taken to remediate controls over the calculation of the number of shares released and the accounting associated with the ESOP.

Notwithstanding the evaluation and initiation of these remediation actions, the identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until the new controls are fully implemented, in operation for a sufficient period of rinse, rested, and concluded by management to be operating effectively.
