KAISER FEDERAL FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES INCREASE IN 2nd QUARTER EARNINGS

Covina, CA – February 2, 2011. Kaiser Federal Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: KFFG), the holding company for Kaiser Federal Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $2.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 and $4.0 million, or $0.43 per diluted share for the six months then ended. This compares to a net loss of $1.2 million, or $(0.13) per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 and net income of $204,000, or $0.02 per diluted share for the six months then ended.

As previously announced the Company completed the conversion from a mutual holding company structure to a fully public stock holding company form of organization and related public offering. Kaiser Federal Bank is now 100% owned by the Company and the Company is 100% owned by public stockholders.  The Company sold a total of 6,375,000 shares of common stock in the offering at a purchase price of $10.00 per share.  The offering raised capital of $59.1 million which is net of costs of $4.7 million.  Concurrent with the completion of the offering, shares of K-Fed Bancorp common stock owned by public stockholders were exchanged for 0.7194 shares of the Company’s common stock.  At December 31, 2010, the Company had 9,558,960 shares outstanding.  All share and per share information for periods prior to the conversion has been revised to reflect the 0.7194 conversion ratio.

During the second fiscal quarter the Bank experienced continued improvement in delinquent loans and non-performing assets.  Delinquent loans 60 days or more totaled $11.0 million or 1.47% of total loans and non-performing assets totaled $28.6 million or 3.24% of total assets at December 31, 2010. Delinquent loans 60 days or more totaled $17.6 million or 2.28% of total loans and non-performing assets totaled $32.8 million or 3.79% of total assets at June 30, 2010. These declines were primarily a result of homes sold by borrowers through negotiated short sales and loans foreclosed on by the Bank.  The increased short sale and foreclosure activity has allowed the Bank to charge-off previously identified specific reserves. As a result, charge-off ratios increased to 0.52% for the six months ended December 31, 2010 as co mpared to 0.09% for the same period last year.  The ending balance of real estate owned remained unchanged at $1.4 million at December 31, 2010 as compared to June 30, 2010.

Provision for loan losses decreased to $200,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 from $5.7 million for the same quarter last year. Provision for loan losses decreased to $950,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 from $6.5 million for the same period last year.  The decline in the provision is a result of the continued improvement in delinquent loans and non-performing assets.  The provision reflects management’s continuing assessment of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, which is affected by various trends, including current economic conditions.  The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 45.18% at December 31, 2010 as compared to 42.32% at June 30, 2010.

Net interest margin increased to 3.65% for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 from 3.23% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. Net interest margin increased to 3.53% for the six months ended December 31, 2010 from 3.04% for the same period last year. The increase in the net interest margin reflected a significant reduction in the cost of funds as a result of the low interest rate environment and repayment of $52.0 million in higher costing Federal Home Loan Bank advances during the past three months.

Total assets increased to $882.3 million at December 31, 2010 from $866.8 million at June 30, 2010 due primarily to an increase in cash and cash equivalents offset by a decrease in interest earning time deposits in other financial institutions and loans receivable.

Total deposits increased $8.2 million to $638.9 million at December 31, 2010 as compared to $630.7 million at June 30, 2010.  The increase was comprised of increases of $7.0 million in checking and savings balances and $5.0 million in money market balances offset by a decrease of $3.8 million in certificates of deposit.

Total stockholders’ equity, represented 17.38% of total assets and increased to $153.4 million at December 31, 2010 from $94.7 million at June 30, 2010 due to the completion of the conversion during the second fiscal quarter.  Currently, the Bank meets all regulatory capital requirements established by the Office of Thrift Supervision in order to be classified as a “well-capitalized” bank.
