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.

On December 31, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of CKF Bancorp, Inc. (“CKF Bancorp”), the parent company of Central Kentucky Federal Savings Bank (“Central Kentucky FSB”), pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement of Merger dated as of November 3, 2011 and amended as of September 28, 2012. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and resulted in the recordation of bargain purchase gain of $958,000. See additional discussion in Note 2.

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) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for an entire fiscal year. Only the results of operations associated with Central Kentucky FSB for the three months ended March 31, 2013, have been included herein. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2012 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 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

Unsecured consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan.

1. Basis of presentation (continued)

Interest income on non-consumer loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection. Retail credit, which includes loans to individuals secured by their personal residence, including first mortgage, home equity and home improvement loans, are placed on nonaccrual status in accordance with the Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management. Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days still on accrual include both homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans. A loan is moved to nonaccrual status in accordance with the Company’s policy, typically after 90 days of non-payment for commercial credits and 180 days for one- to four-family residential credits.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are generally returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

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.

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.

1. Basis of presentation (continued)

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 two 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, farms, commercial (non-mortgage) and consumer and other loans. The residential real estate segment is our primary lending activity and it enables a borrower to purchase or refinance homes in the Banks’ respective market areas. We further classify our residential real estate loans as one- to four-family, multi-family or construction. We originate loans to individuals to finance the construction of residential dwellings for personal use or for use as rental property. We may lend to builders for construction of speculative or custom residential properties on a limited basis. We also offer loans secured by nonresidential real estate, primarily commercial office buildings, churches and properties used for other purposes. Generally, these loans are originated for 25 years or less and do not exceed 75% of the appraised value. Our consumer loans include home equity lines of credit, auto loans, personal loans, and loans secured by savings deposits. In the acquisition of CKF, we have acquired a portfolio of non-mortgage commercial loans totaling $3.2 million. Future originations of this type of loan are expected to be limited in the foreseeable future.

Summary of New Significant Accounting Policies:

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans – Purchased credit impaired loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. In determining the estimated fair value of these loans, management considers a number of factors including the remaining life of the acquired loans, estimated prepayments, estimated future credit losses, estimated value of the underlying collateral, estimated holding periods and the net present value of the cash flows expected to be received. To the extent that any smaller dollar purchased credit impaired loan is not specifically reviewed, when evaluating the net present value of the future estimated cash flows, management applies a loss estimate to that loan based on the average expected loss rates for the loans that were individually reviewed in that loan portfolio, adjusted for other factors, as applicable.

The difference between the estimated value of the loans acquired is divided into accretable and non-accretable portions. The non-accretable difference represents the difference between the contractually required payments and the cash flows expected to be collected.

Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses. Subsequent increases in cash flows will result in a reversal of the provision for loan losses to the extent of prior charges with a corresponding adjustment to the accretable yield, which would have a positive impact on interest income.

The accretable difference on purchased credit impaired loans represents the difference between the expected cash flows and the amount paid. Such difference is accreted into earnings using the level-yield method over the expected cash flow periods of the loans.

1. Basis of presentation (continued)

Management will separately monitor the purchased credit impaired loan portfolio and on a quarterly basis will review loans contained within this portfolio against the factors and assumptions used in determining the initial fair value adjustment. In addition to its quarterly evaluation, a loan is typically reviewed (i) when it is modified or extended, (ii) when material information becomes available to the Bank which provides additional insight pertaining to the loan’s performance, the status of the borrower, or the quality or value of the underlying collateral, or (iii) in connection with the quarterly review of projected cash flows, which includes a substantial portion of each acquired loan portfolio.

United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) provides up to twelve months following the date of acquisition in which management can finalize the fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Material events that occur during the measurement period will be analyzed to determine if the new information reflected facts and circumstances that existed on the acquisition date. The measurement period ends as soon as the Company receives the information it was seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date or learns more information is unobtainable. The measurement period is limited to one year from the acquisition date. Once management has finalized the fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities within this twelve month period, management considers such values to be the “Day One Fair Values.”

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 First Federal of Frankfort (collectively hereinafter “the Banks”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications - Certain amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on prior years’ net income.

2. Bank Acquisition

On December 31, 2012 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of CKF Bancorp, the savings and loan holding company for Central Kentucky FSB in exchange for cash and common shares of the Company’s stock. Under the terms of the acquisition CKF Bancorp shareholders received approximately 811,275 shares of Company common stock and an aggregate of $5.1 million in cash. The fair value of the common shares issued as part of the consideration paid for CKF Bancorp was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the acquisition date. CKF Bancorp maintained its main headquarters in Danville, Kentucky, as well as two branches – one in Danville and the other in Lancaster, Kentucky. CKF Bancorp was merged into the Company and Central Kentucky FSB was merged into First Federal Savings Bank of Frankfort. With the acquisition the Company has expanded its customer base in the central Kentucky area with an institution that shares its community banking orientation and thrift heritage and that enjoys a favorable reputation within its local community. Because the acquisition occurred on December 31, 2012, only the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013, of CKF Bancorp are included in the Company’s results of operations. Acquisition-related costs of $286,000 and $501,000 are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company has determined that the acquisition constitutes a business acquisition as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are presented at their estimated fair values as required by the accounting guidance. Fair values were determined based on the requirements of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements.

2. Bank Acquisition (continued)

In many cases, the determination of these fair values required management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events which are highly subjective in nature and are subject to change. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction are presented at estimated fair value on the Acquisition Date. These fair value estimates are considered preliminary, and are subject to change for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition, as additional information relative to Acquisition Date fair values becomes available. Given the short period of time from our closing date until our Form 10-Q filing date, we have not yet completed our evaluation of fair values. We continue to work with our third party vendor to finalize these estimates.

The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets and liabilities at the Acquisition Date presented above.

Cash and Due from Banks and Interest-bearing Deposits in Banks – The Company acquired $8.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of these assets, adjusted for any cash items deemed uncollectible by management, was determined to be a reasonable estimate of fair value based on their short-term nature.

Investment Securities – The Company acquired $10.8 million in securities at fair value. Federal Home Loan Bank stock totaling $2.1 million was acquired at cost, as it is not practicable to determine its fair value because of restrictions on its marketability.

Loans – The Company acquired approximately $94.1 million in loans with and without evidence of credit quality deterioration. The loans acquired consist of residential real estate, commercial real estate, real estate construction, commercial and consumer loans.

At the acquisition date, the Company recorded $85.1 million of loans without evidence of credit quality deterioration and $9.0 million of purchased credit-impaired loans subject to nonaccretable difference of $1.8 million. The acquired loans were deemed impaired at the acquisition date if the Company did not expect to receive all contractually required cash flows due to concerns about credit quality. Fair values for loans were based on discounted cash flow methodology that considered factors including the type of loan and related collateral, classification status, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan and whether or not the loan was amortizing, and a discount rate reflecting current market rates for new originations of comparable loans adjusted for the risk inherent in the cash flow estimates. Certain loans that were determined to be collateral dependent were valued based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. These estimates were based on the most recently available real estate appraisals with certain adjustments made based on the type of property, age of appraisal, current status of the property and other related factors to estimate the current value of the collateral.

Total loans	$	97,098	$	(3,012	)	$	94,086

Loans purchased in the acquisition are accounted for using one of two following accounting standards:

· ASC Topic 310-20 is used to value loans that have not demonstrated post origination credit quality deterioration and the acquirer expects to collect all contractually required payments from the borrower. For these loans, the difference between fair value of the loan at acquisition and the amortized cost of the loan would be amortized or accreted into income using the interest method.

· ASC Topic 310-30 is used to value loans with post origination credit quality deterioration. For these loans, it is probable the acquirer will be unable to collect all contractually required payments from the borrower. Under ASC 310-30, the expected cash flows that exceed the initial investment in the loan (fair value) represent the “accretable yield,” which is recognized as interest income on a level-yield basis over the expected cash flow periods of the loans. The excess of the loan’s contractual principal and interest over the expected cash flows is the nonaccretable difference.

2. Bank Acquisition (continued)

The following table presents the purchased loans that are included within the scope of ASC Topic 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality as of December 31, 2012.

(in thousands)
Contractually-required principal and interest payments	$	10,858
Non-accretable difference		(1,752	)
Accretable yield		(118	)
Fair value of loans	$	8,988

Core Deposit Intangible – This intangible asset represents the value of the relationships that Central Kentucky Federal Savings Bank had with its deposit customers. The fair value of this intangible asset will be estimated based on a discounted cash flow methodology that gave appropriate consideration to the type of deposit, deposit retention, cost of the deposit base, and net maintenance cost attributable to customer deposits. This analysis has not yet been completed, but preliminary calculations indicate that the amounts are not significant.

OREO – The Company acquired $1.6 million in other real estate owned in the acquisition after a $27,000 fair value adjustment as of the Acquisition Date. OREO is presented at fair value, which is estimated value that management expects to receive when the property is sold, net of related costs to sell. These estimates were based on the most recently available real estate appraisals, with certain adjustments made based on the type of property, age of appraisal, current status of the property and othe related factors to estimate the current value of the property.

Deposits - The Company assumed $101.5 million in deposits at estimated fair value. Savings accounts and demand deposit accounts totaled $22.5 million, while certificates of deposit had face value of $77.9 million. The Company recorded a premium associated with the certificates of deposit of $1.1 million due to the interest rates associated with the time deposits, which caused those deposits to be valued at $79.0 million.

The following table presents pro forma information as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented (July 1, in this case.) The pro forma information includes adjustments for interest expense on time deposits and the related income tax effects but excluded any bargain purchase gain or its related income tax effect. Other adjustments are not anticipated to have a material impact on the pro forma information. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the transactions been effected on the assumed dates.

There were no sales of investment securities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 nor the three- or nine-month periods ended March 31, 2013.

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.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

A Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”) is the situation where the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that the Bank would not otherwise have considered due to the borrower’s financial difficulties. All TDRs are considered “impaired.” At March 31, 2013, the Company had $2.9 million of loans classified as TDRs of which approximately 22.5% were residential real estate loans involving the Banks’ conceding to refinance a loan to then-current market interest rates despite poor credit history or a high loan-to-value ratio and approximately 32.0% were related to the borrower’s completion of Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings with no reaffirmation of his debt to the Banks.

During the period ended March 31, 2013, the terms of thirteen loans to two borrowers were recognized at TDRs because the borrower was unable to adequately service the debt according to the original loan terms.

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.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Loans listed that are not rated are included in groups of homogeneous loans and are evaluated for credit quality based on performing status. See the aging of past due loan table above. As of March 31, 2013, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

(in thousands)	Pass		Special Mention		Substandard		Doubtful		Not rated

6. 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

At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is evaluated for loss based on the fair value of collateral securing the loan if the loan is collateral dependent. If a loss is identified, a specific allocation will be established as part of the allowance for loan losses such that the loan’s net carrying value is at its estimated fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent 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 independent appraisers to adjust for differences 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. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans

The Company purchased a group of loans more fully described in Note 2, some of which have shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination. These purchased credit impaired loans are recorded at the amount paid, such that there is no carryover of the seller’s allowance for loan losses. After acquisition, losses are recognized by an increase in the allowance for loan losses. Such purchased credit impaired loans are accounted for individually or aggregated into pools of loans based on common risk characteristics such as credit score, loan type and date of origination. The Company estimates the amount and timing of expected cash flows for each loan or pool, and the expected cash flows in excess of amount paid is recorded as interest income over the remaining life of the loan or pool (accretable yield.) The excess of the loan’s or pool’s contractual principal and interest over expected cash flows is not recorded (nonaccretable difference.) Over the life of the loan or pool expected cash flows continue to be estimated. If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, a loss is recorded. If the present value of expected cash flows is greater than the carrying amount, it is recognized as part of future interest income.

Other Real Estate

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent 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 independent appraisers to adjust for differences 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.

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

The following table presents quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements for financial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2013:

					Range
	Fair Value		Valuation	Unobservable	(Weighted
	(in thousands)		Technique(s)	Input(s)	Average)
Impaired Loans:
Residential real estate
1-4 family	$	168	Sales comparison approach	Adjustments for differences between comparable sales		3.1% to 19.8% (4.3%)
Foreclosed and repossessed assets:
1-4 family	$	676	Sales comparison approach	Adjustments for differences between comparable sales		0.5% to 18.6% (8.6%)

The following is a 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 at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012:

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 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.

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

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.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances: 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 March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, was not material.

Based on the foregoing methods and assumptions, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012 are as follows:

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2012 to March 31, 2013

Assets: At March 31, 2013, the Company’s assets totaled $332.3 million, an increase of $109.3 million, or 49.0%, from total assets at June 30, 2012. This increase was attributed primarily to the acquisition of CKF Bancorp. See Footnote 2 under “Item 1: Financial Information.”

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents increased by $10.7 million or 186.4% to $16.4 million at March 31, 2013.

Loans: Loans receivable, net, increased by $86.4 million to $268.9 million at March 31, 2013, due primarily to the acquisition of CKF Bancorp. See Footnote 2 under “Item 1, Financial Information.” Also, due to historically low interest rates, many home mortgages have been refinanced to long-term, fixed rate loans either with other lenders or with our banks to be sold into the secondary market. 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, prudent and consistent with our interest rate risk strategies. However, loan demand continues in its weakened state as a result of the downturn in the economy and we expect to see a continued decrease in demand for home loans until the housing market regains a stronger footing.

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2012 to March 31, 2013 (continued)

Non-Performing Loans:  At March 31, 2013, the Company had non-performing loans (loans 90 or more days past due or on nonaccrual status) of approximately $8.7 million, or 3.22% of total loans (including loans purchased in the acquisition referenced in Note 2), compared to $1.8 million or 0.98%, of total loans at June 30, 2012.  The Company’s allowance for loan losses totaled $1.3 million and $875,000 at March 31, 2013, and June 30, 2012, respectively. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2013, represented 14.6% of nonperforming loans and 0.47% of total loans (including loans purchased in the acquisition referenced in Note 2), while at June 30, 2012, the allowance represented 48.8% of nonperforming loans and 0.48% of total loans.

The Company had $16.2 million in assets classified as substandard for regulatory purposes at March 31, 2013, including loans ($14.9 million) and real estate owned (“REO”) ($1.3 million), including both loans and REO acquired in the CKF Bancorp transaction. Classified loans as a percentage of total loans (including loans acquired on December 31, 2012) was 3.2% at both March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012. Of substandard loans, 98% were secured by real estate on which the Banks have priority lien position.

At March 31, 2013, and June 30, 2012, the Company had $5.5 million and $331,000 of loans classified as special mention, respectively including CKF. 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.

Securities: At March 31, 2013, the Company’s investment securities had increased $8.6 million to $13.6 million, due in part to the acquisition more fully described in Note 2 under “Item 1, Financial Information.” The investments acquired in the CKF Bancorp transaction include primarily U.S. Government agency bonds and mortgage-backed securities.

Liabilities: At March 31, 2013, the Company’s liabilities totaled $266.2 million, an increase of $102.1 million, or 62.2%, from total liabilities at June 30, 2012. The increase in liabilities was attributed primarily to the acquisition more fully described in Note 2 under “Item 1, Financial Information.” In addition to the liabilities assumed in the acquisition of CKF Bancorp, the Company borrowed $5.1 million in FHLB Advances to provide funds for the cash portion of the transaction. FHLB Advances increased $3.9 million from $27.1 million at June 30, 2012 to $31.0 million at March 31, 2013. Deposits increased $98.7 million or 73.4% to $233.3 million at March 31, 2013, primarily as a result of the acquisition more fully described in Note 2. The deposits acquired in the CKF Bancorp transaction are expected to remain with the Company except for normal run-off, as no hot money deposits have been identified.

Shareholders’ Equity: At March 31, 2013, the Company’s shareholders’ equity totaled $66.1 million, an increase of $7.2 million or 12.3% from the June 30, 2012 total. The change in shareholders’ equity is primarily associated with the acquisition more fully described in Note 2 under “Item 1, Financial Information”, as a portion of the consideration was paid in stock.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2012 to March 31, 2013 (continued)

The Company paid dividends of $924,000 or 44.5% of net income for the nine-month period just ended and $364,000 or 57.8% of net income for the three-month period just ended. The Company received notice from the Federal Reserve Board on September 27, 2012, that there would be no objection to a waiver of dividends paid by Kentucky First Federal to First Federal MHC in the next twelve months.  On August 23, 2012, the members of First Federal MHC approved a dividend waiver on annual dividends of up to $0.40 per share of Kentucky First Federal Bancorp common stock by casting  64.3% of the eligible votes in favor of the waiver. The Board of Directors of First Federal MHC has voted to seek approval for another waiver and will begin soliciting members for their vote on or about May 27, 2013. At March 31, 2013, 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. See “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 for additional discussion regarding dividends.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

General

Net income totaled $2.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $742,000 or 55.5% from net income of $1.3 million for the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to the bargain purchase gain recorded coincident with the acquisition which occurred on December 31, 2012.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $1.1 million or 18.6% to $7.2 million for the nine month period just ended, while net income after provision for loan losses increased $629,000 or 10.6% to $6.6 million. The provision for loan losses was $579,000 for the recently ended nine month period, an increase of $497,000 compared to the prior year. Interest income increased by $760,000, or 9.8%, to $8.5 million, while interest expense decreased $366,000 or 21.5% to $1.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.

Interest income on loans increased $690,000 or 9.4% to $8.1 million, due primarily to an increase in the average balance outstanding on the loan portfolio. The average balance of loans outstanding increased $26.3 million to $210.8 million for the period just ended, primarily because of the acquisition which occurred on December 31, 2012. The average rate earned on loans outstanding for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013, decreased 22 basis points to 5.10% for the nine months just ended. Interest income on mortgage-backed residential securities decreased $57,000 or 28.5% to $143,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, primarily as a result of reduced volume, as securities matured and principal from mortgage-backed securities flowed back to the Company. There were no sales of investments during the nine-month period just ended.

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, 2013 and 2012 (continued)

Net Interest Income (continued)

Interest expense on deposits and borrowings both declined period to period. Interest expense on deposits decreased $328,000 or 26.3% to $919,000 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2013, while interest expense on borrowings decreased $123,000 or 26.8% to $336,000 for the same period. The decline in interest expense on deposits was attributed primarily to a reduction in the average rate paid on deposits, which was in part due to amortization of deposit premiums. The average rate paid on deposits decreased 47 basis points to 0.74% for the most recent period, while the average balance of deposits increased $27.3 million or 19.8% to $165.1 million, primarily because of the acquisition which occurred on December 31, 2012. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was attributed to a lower rate paid on borrowings outstanding, which decreased 72 basis points to 1.46% for the most recent period, while the average balance of borrowings outstanding increased $2.6 million or 9.3% to $30.7 million for the recently ended nine-month period.

Net interest margin increased from 3.94% for the prior year nine-month period to 4.10% for the period ended March 31, 2013.

Provision for Losses on Loans

The Company recorded $579,000 in provision for losses on loans during the nine months ended March 31, 2013, compared to a provision of $82,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The Company recorded the provision to more closely align the Company’s loan loss reserves with changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, which includes additional non-owner-occupied one- to four-family residential loans. 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 $1.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $1.1 million from the same period in 2012. The primary contributor to this increase is the bargain purchase gain, which was recorded in connection with the acquisition of CKF Bancorp effective December 31, 2012. Please see Note 2 under “Item 1, Financial Information.” Also contributing to the increase in non-interest income was an increase in net gains on sales of loans, which totaled $143,000 for the recent period ended compared to $23,000 for the prior year period. In the current low interest rate environment the Company prefers to sell its long-term, fixed rate mortgage production rather than retain the loans in its portfolio, and the demand for that loan product was strong for the quarter just ended. Other real estate owned represented charges totaling $65,000 for the nine month period just ended, compared to charges of $47,000 in the 2012 period. Net gain on sale of REO was $34,000 for the current period compared to a gain of $1,000 in the prior year period, while other-than-temporary impairment losses for the current period were $99,000 compared to $48,000 for the 2012 period.

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, 2013 and 2012 (continued)

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense totaled $4.9 million and $4.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, an increase of $775,000, or 19.0%, compared to the same period in 2012. The increase was due primarily to higher costs associated with normal operations of the business acquired on December 31, 2012. Legal fees (some of which were associated with the Company’s merger/acquisition plans announced November 3, 2011) decreased $104,000 from period to period, while outside service fees increased $42,000 period to period. Foreclosure and REO expenses (net) posted a net gain of $17,000 for the recent period compared to net loss of $1,000 for the prior year period, as rental expense exceeded rental income. The core deposit intangible created when the Company purchased First Federal of Frankfort became completely amortized in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. Consequently, amortization of intangible assets for the recently ended quarter was nil, compared to $87,000 for the prior year period. Employee compensation and benefits totaled $3.0 million for the recently-ended period compared to $2.4 million for the prior year period, a $611,000 or 25.7% increase, and was attributed both to personnel hired with the merger as well as to higher retirement expense, in general.

Federal Income Tax Expense

Federal income taxes expense totaled $884,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $656,000 in the prior year period. The effective tax rates were 29.8% and 32.9% for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

General

Net income totaled $630,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $102,000 or 19.3% from net income of $528,000 for the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to higher core earnings.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $1.1 million or 53.2% to $3.1 million for the three month period just ended primarily as a result of higher interest income. Provision for loan losses was $161,000 and caused net interest income after provision for loan losses to increase by $930,000 or 45.4% to $3.0 million compared to net interest income of $2.1 million for the prior year period. Core earnings increased significantly. Interest income increased $1.1 million, or 43.4%, to $3.7 million, while interest expense increased only $18,000 or 3.5% to $526,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Interest income on loans increased $1.0 million or 41.8% to $3.5 million, due primarily to the acquisition which occurred on December 31, 2012. The average balance of loans outstanding increased $86.1 million to $270.2 million for the period just ended, while the average rate earned on loans outstanding for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, decreased 17 basis points to 5.11% for the three months just ended. Interest income on mortgage-backed residential securities decreased $15,000 or 24.6% to $46,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily as a result of reduced volume, as securities matured and principal from mortgage-backed securities flowed back to the Company. There were no sales of investments during the three-month period just ended.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (continued)

Net Interest Income (continued)

Interest expense on deposits and borrowings both declined period to period. Interest expense on deposits decreased $21,000 or 5.8% to $339,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, while interest expense on borrowings decreased $46,000 or 31.1% to $102,000 for the same period. The decline in interest expense on deposits was attributed to a reduction in the average rate paid on the deposits. The average rate paid on deposits decreased 49 basis points to 0.58% for the most recent period, while the average balance of deposits increased $97.9 million or 72.7% to $232.6 million. The increase in deposits is primarily attributed to the acquisition which occurred on December 31, 2012. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was attributed to a lower rate paid on borrowings despite a larger average balance outstanding. The average rate paid on borrowings decreased 71 basis points to 1.04% for the most recent period, while the average balance of borrowings outstanding increased $5.4 or 16.0% to $39.2 million for the recently ended three-month period.

Net interest margin increased from 3.96% for the prior year quarterly period to 4.05% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Provision for Losses on Loans

The Company recorded $161,000 in provision for losses on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to no provision for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company recorded the provision in response to increased charge-offs for the quarter end to increase the allowance to a level that management determined appropriate. 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 $109,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $47,000 or 5.5% from the same period in 2012. The primary contributor to this increase was other income, which increased $55,000 to $80,000 for the quarter just ended. Fees earned as a result of the acquisition made on December 31, 2012, are primarily responsible for this increase. Also contributing to the increase in non-interest income was an increase in net gains on sales of loans totaled $32,000 for the recent quarterly period ended compared to nil for the prior year quarter. Other real estate owned represented net charges of $25,000 for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013, compared to net gain of $14,000 in the prior year’s quarter. In the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded impairment charges on REO of $74,000, which more than offset the gain on sale of REO of $49,000.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense totaled $2.1 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, an increase of $815,000 or 61.6% period to period. The increase was primarily related to higher costs associated with normal operations of the business acquired on December 31, 2012. Employee compensation and benefits increased $459,000 or 53.7% due to additional personnel hired with the acquisition, as well as higher retirement expense. Foreclosure and OREO expenses (net) was $22,000 for the recently ended quarter compared to net gain of $31,000 for the prior year period, as rental expense exceeded rental income and the Company disposed of several pieces of REO during the period. The core deposit intangible created when the Company purchased First Federal of Frankfort became completely amortized in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. Consequently, amortization of intangible assets for the recently ended quarter was nil, compared to $22,000 for the prior year period.

39

Federal Income Tax Expense

Federal income taxes expense totaled $320,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $260,000 in the prior year period. The effective tax rates were 33.7% and 33.0% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
