First Savings Financial Group, Inc. (“Company”), an Indiana corporation, was incorporated in May 2008 to serve as the holding company for First Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“Bank”), a federally-chartered savings bank. On October 6, 2008, in accordance with a Plan of Conversion adopted by its board of directors and approved by its members, the Bank converted from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank and became the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the conversion, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,542,042 shares of common stock at an offering price of $10.00 per share. In addition, in connection with the conversion, First Savings Charitable Foundation was formed, to which the Company contributed 110,000 shares of common stock and $100,000 in cash. The Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on October 7, 2008 under the symbol “FSFG”. Accordingly, the reported results for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2008 relate solely to the operations of the Bank and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all normal adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2009, and the results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and the cash flows for the six-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. All of these adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Such adjustments are the only adjustments included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and are presented as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not contain certain information included in the Bank’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended September 30, 2008 included in the Form 10-K.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On April 28, 2009, the Company, the Bank, Community First Financial Group, Inc. (“CFFG”) and Community First Bank, a majority owned subsidiary of CFFG, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Community First Bank will merge with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving institution. Under terms of the Agreement, shareholders of Community First Bank will be entitled to receive $17.13 in cash in exchange for each share of Community First Bank common stock, subject to decrease if the aggregate fair market value of Community First Bank’s portfolio of non-agency mortgage and asset-backed securities is less than 35% of the aggregate par value of the portfolio (as measured by pricing made available by Interactive Data Corp. as of the end of the month immediately before the closing date of the transaction). The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals and the approval of the shareholders of Community First Bank, and is expected to occur in the third calendar quarter of 2009.

When presented, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. The Company had no dilutive potential common shares for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2009. Because the mutual to stock conversion was not completed until October 6, 2008, per share earnings data is not presented for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2008.

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive income for the Company includes net income and other comprehensive income representing the net unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale. The following tables set forth the components of other comprehensive income and the allocated tax amounts for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

Effective October 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements,” for financial assets and financial liabilities. This statement is definitional and disclosure oriented and addresses how companies should approach measuring fair value when required by generally accepted accounting principals (GAAP); it does not create or modify any current GAAP requirements to apply fair value accounting. SFAS No. 157 prescribes various disclosures about financial statement categories and amounts which are measured at fair value, if such disclosures are not already specified elsewhere in GAAP. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2008 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a statement delaying the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. Accordingly, the Company will delay application of SFAS No. 157 to foreclosed real estate until October 1, 2009.

SFAS No. 157 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. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:

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, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company’s financial assets carried at fair value or the lower of cost or fair value effective October 1, 2008. The table below presents the balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2009. The Company had no liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2009.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on internally developed models or obtained from third parties that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters or a matrix pricing model that employs the Bond Market Association’s standard calculations for cash flow and price/yield analysis and observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value, or the lower of cost or fair value. These adjustments may include unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments have been applied consistently over time. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Securities Available for Sale. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value on a recurring basis. These securities are classified as Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy where quoted market prices from reputable third-party brokers are available in an active market. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. These securities are reported using Level 2 inputs and the fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, U.S. government and agency yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the security’s terms and conditions, among other factors. Changes in fair value of securities available for sale are recorded in other comprehensive income, net of income tax effect.

Impaired Loans. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired at the lower of cost or market value. For collateral dependent impaired loans, market value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets, including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable, and its fair value is generally determined based on real estate appraisals or other independent evaluations by qualified professionals. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above.

There were no transfers in or out of the Company’s Level 3 financial assets for the six months ended March 31, 2009.

The Bank sponsors a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. The Bank’s funding policy is to contribute the larger of the amount required to fully fund the plan’s current liability or the amount necessary to meet the funding requirements as defined by the Internal Revenue Code.

The Bank made no contributions to the Plan for the six month period ended March 31, 2009. Effective June 30, 2008, the Bank curtailed the accrual of benefits for active participants in the defined benefit plan. As a result, each active participant’s pension benefit will be determined based on the participant’s compensation and duration of employment as of June 30, 2008, and compensation and employment after that date will not be taken into account in determining pension benefits under the defined benefit plan. Accordingly, the Bank does not anticipate future contributions to the Plan. At March 31, 2009, a net unrecognized gain of $222,000, net of income taxes, was included in the other accumulated comprehensive income component of stockholders’ equity.

On October 6, 2008, the Company established a leveraged employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) covering substantially all employees. The ESOP trust acquired 203,363 shares of Company common stock at a cost of $10.00 per share financed by a term loan with the Company. The employer loan and the related interest income are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements as the debt is serviced from Company contributions. Dividends payable on allocated shares are charged to retained earnings and are satisfied by the allocation of cash dividends to participant accounts. Dividends payable on unallocated shares are not considered dividends for financial reporting purposes. Shares held by the ESOP trust are allocated to participant accounts based on the ratio of the current year principal and interest payments to the total of the current year and future year’s principal and interest to be paid on the employer loan. Compensation expense is recognized based on the average fair value of shares released for allocation to participant accounts during the year with a corresponding credit to stockholders’ equity. Compensation expense recognized for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2009 amounted to $32,000 and $158,000, respectively. Company common stock held by the ESOP trust at March 31, 2009 was as follows:

As discussed in Note 1, the Company sold 2,432,042 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share on October 6, 2008 in connection with the mutual to stock conversion of the Bank, for gross proceeds of $24,320,420. In connection with the conversion, the Company also contributed 110,000 common shares and $100,000 in cash to the First Savings Charitable Foundation. Expenses of the offering amounted to $1,126,000 and were charged against the gross proceeds of the conversion.

The following are summaries of recently issued accounting pronouncements that impact the accounting and reporting practices of the Company:

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding non-controlling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. This statement amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2009. This statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 (FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2), Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. This FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for debt securities. Consistent with current requirements for recording other-than-temporary impairments, this FSP states that the amount of impairment loss recorded in earnings for a debt security will be the entire difference between the security’s cost and its fair value if the company intends to sell the debt security prior to recovery or it is more-likely-than not that the company will have to sell the debt security prior to recovery. If, however, the company does not intend to sell the debt security or it concludes that it is more-likely-than-not that it will not have to sell the debt security prior to recovery, this FSP requires a company to recognize the credit loss component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion of the impairment loss in other comprehensive income. The credit loss component of an other-than-temporary impairment must be determined based on a company’s best estimate of cash flows expected to be collected. This FSP, which becomes effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, allows early adoption for periods ending after March 15, 2009, provided FSP FAS 157-4 (see below) is adopted at the same time. The Company will adopt this FSP for the period ending June 30, 2009, and adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Also on April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4 (FSP FAS 157-4), Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. This FSP provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No.157 when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased. It also provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. Determination of whether a transaction is orderly or not orderly in instances when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability depends on an evaluation of facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. This FSP requires a company to disclose the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and to discuss changes in such inputs and valuation techniques, if any, that occurred during the reporting period. This FSP, which becomes effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, requires early adoption for periods ending after March 15, 2009 if a company elects to adopt early FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 (see above). The Company will adopt this FSP for the period ending June 30, 2009, and adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1), Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. This FSP requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP, which becomes effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, allows early adoption for periods ending after March 15, 2009, only if a company also elects to early adopt FSP FAS 157-4 and FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2. The Company will adopt this FSP for the period ending June 30, 2009, and adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Risk Factors.” These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company assumes no obligation and disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

During the six-month period ended March 31, 2009, there was no significant change in the Company’s critical accounting policies or the application of critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $21.4 million at September 30, 2008 to $6.5 million at March 31, 2009 due primarily to the investment of the stock conversion proceeds, which were held on deposit at September 30, 2008.

Loans. Net loans receivable increased $5.1 million from $174.8 million at September 30, 2008 to $179.9 million at March 31, 2009, primarily due to increases in multifamily and nonresidential mortgage loans and commercial business loans. The increase in net loans receivable during the six months ended March 31, 2009 was funded by a combination of stock conversion proceeds and an increase in borrowings.

Securities Available for Sale. Securities available for sale increased $19.2 million from $10.7 million at September 30, 2008 to $29.9 million at March 31, 2009 due primarily to purchases of $30.5 million, reduced by sales of $4.5 million, maturities of $6.2 million and principal repayments of $720,000. The increase in available for sale securities during the six months ended March 31, 2009, primarily in U.S. government agency backed and municipal securities, was funded by a combination of stock conversion proceeds and an increase in borrowings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Securities Held to Maturity. Investment securities held-to-maturity decreased $779,000 from $8.5 million at September 30, 2008 to $7.7 million at March 31, 2009 due primarily to principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities.

Deposits. Total deposits decreased $20.1 million from $189.2 million at September 30, 2008 to $169.1 million at March 31, 2009 primarily due to decreases in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts of $19.7 million and certificates of deposit of $1.0 million during the period. The decrease in the demand balance is primarily due to the investment of the subscription funds that were on deposit at September 30, 2008 pending the closing of the stock conversion. The decrease in certificates of deposit is primarily the result of attrition in the 1-year maturity product, which was priced below market in order to be replaced by lower-cost Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (FHLBI) advances.

Borrowings. FHLBI advances increased from $8.0 million at September 30, 2008 to $14.5 million at March 31, 2009. Management determined that utilizing a certain level of FHLBI advances as a funding source alternative to certificates of deposit was advantageous given the low interest rate environment for advances when compared to certificates.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

Overview. The Company reported net income of $275,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $532,000 for the same period in 2008.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $484,000, or 32.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The increase is primarily the result of a net increase in average interest-earnings assets of $20.1 million, a decrease in interest-bearing liabilities of $2.7 million and an increase in the tax-equivalent interest rate spread from 2.79% for 2008 to 3.30% for 2009. The net increase in interest-earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities is due primarily to the investment of the stock conversion proceeds.

Total interest income remained consistent at $3.1 million for both periods in 2008 and 2009 as a result of an increase in average interest-earning assets of $20.1 million, or 10.3%, from $194.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $215.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, which more than offset the decline in the average tax-equivalent yield from 6.38% for 2008 compared to 5.82% for 2009. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased primarily as a result of the downward repricing of adjustable rate loans and decreased yields on interest-bearing deposits with banks due to lower market interest rates. Average loans and investment securities increased $10.3 million and $16.7 million, respectively, while interest-bearing deposits with banks decreased $6.8 million.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total interest expense decreased $480,000, or 30.0%, as a result of a decrease in the average cost of funds from 3.59% in 2008 to 2.52% in 2009 and a decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities of $2.7 million from $173.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $170.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased for 2009 primarily as a result of lower market interest rates as compared to 2008, the repricing of certificates of deposit at lower market interest rates as they matured and the utilization of lower-cost FHLBI advances as a source of asset funding.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $69,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2008. The primary factor that contributed to the significant provision for loan losses for 2008 was the diminished repayment ability of a large borrower whose loans were secured by non-owner occupied, single-family residential real estate whose condition and market value deteriorated significantly since the origination of the loans. The provision for this particular lending relationship amounted to $881,000 and was recorded in March 2008.

Gross loans receivable increased $6.7 million from $174.4 million at March 31, 2008 to $181.1 million at March 31, 2009, primarily due to increases in multifamily and nonresidential mortgage loans and commercial business loans.

Nonperforming loans decreased $1.4 million from $4.0 million at March 31, 2008 to $2.6 million at March 31, 2009. The balance of nonperforming loans at March 31, 3009 includes nonaccrual loans of $2.5 million and $159,000 that are over 90 days past due, but still accruing interest. These loans are still accruing interest because the estimated value of the collateral and collection efforts are deemed sufficient to ensure their full recovery. The balance of nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2009 consists of commercial business loans ($100,000), consumer loans ($8,000), residential mortgage loans ($2.3 million) and land loans ($33,000). The $2.3 million of nonaccrual residential mortgage loans consists of those secured by owner occupied, one-to-four family residences ($1.0 million), non-owner occupied, one-to-four family investment properties ($829,000) and fully completed speculative construction homes ($501,000). The nonaccrual residential mortgage loans consist primarily of four unrelated borrowing relationships.

Net recoveries were $23,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to net charge-offs of $68,000 for the same period in 2008. The net recovery recorded for 2009 was primarily the result of a $50,000 recovery on a boat loan that was charged-off in the quarter ended December 31, 2008.

The allowance for loan losses was $1.6 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $2.5 million at March 31, 2008. The large allowance at March 31, 2008 was primarily related to the large non-owner occupied, single-family residential real estate borrowing relationship discussed above that had a specific valuation allowance of $1.0 million at March 31, 2008. Management has deemed these amounts as adequate on those dates based on its best estimate of probable known and inherent loan losses. The consistent application of management’s allowance for loan losses methodology resulted in an increase in the level of the allowance for loan losses consistent with the increase in the gross loan portfolio and nonperforming loans and the change in overall economic conditions.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $16,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease was comprised of a decrease in other income of $38,000, which primarily represented a one-time gain on the sale of Visa, Inc. stock during the 2008 period, offset by an increase in service charges on deposit accounts of $7,000 and the increase in cash surrender value of life insurance was $14,000 higher when comparing the two periods.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $241,000 to $1.9 million for 2009 compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2008. Compensation and benefits expense increased $164,000 primarily due to $158,000 in ESOP compensation expense, as well as increased staffing and normal salary increases. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $38,000 primarily due to increased depreciation expense and repairs and maintenance expense. Other operating expenses increased $36,000 primarily due to increased officer and employee training expenditures, and increased other operating expenses.

Income Tax Expense. The Company recognized tax expense of $69,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared to a tax benefit of $391,000 for the same period in 2008.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

Overview. The Company reported a net loss of $365,000 for the six-month period ended March 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $348,000 for the same period in 2008. The primary factor for the net loss in 2009 is the $1.2 million ($731,000, net of tax) one-time contribution to First Savings Charitable Foundation, discussed below, while the primary factor for the net loss in 2008 was the significant provision to loan losses discussed above. Excluding the one-time charitable contribution, the Company would have reported net income of $366,000 for the six-month period ended March 31, 2009, primarily as a result of an increase in net interest income reduced by an increase in noninterest expenses.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $734,000, or 22.9%, for the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The increase is primarily the result of a net increase in average interest-earnings assets of $21.7 million and an increase in the tax-equivalent interest rate spread from 2.94% for 2008 to 3.15% for 2009. The net increase in interest-earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities is due primarily to the investment of the stock conversion proceeds.

Total interest income remained consistent at $6.3 million for both periods in 2008 and 2009 as a result of an increase in average interest-earning assets of $21.7 million, or 11.3%, from $192.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $213.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009, which more than offset the decline in the average tax-equivalent yield from 6.59% for 2008 compared to 5.94% for 2009. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased primarily as a result of the downward repricing of adjustable rate loans and decreased yields on interest-bearing deposits with banks due to lower market interest rates. Average loans and investment securities increased $9.8 million and $14.3 million, respectively, while interest-bearing deposits with banks decreased $2.4 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total interest expense decreased $731,000, or 23.6%, as a result of a decrease in the average cost of funds from 3.65% in 2008 to 2.79% in 2009 as average interest-bearing liabilities remained consistent at $169.5 million for both periods in 2008 and 2009. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased for 2009 primarily as a result of lower market interest rates as compared to 2008, the repricing of certificates of deposit at lower market interest rates as they matured and the utilization of lower-cost FHLBI advances as a source of asset funding.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $128,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2008. As discussed above, the primary factor for the significant provision for loan losses for 2008 was the $881,000 provision recorded in March 2008 due to the diminished repayment ability of a large borrower.

Net charge-offs were $223,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $2,000 for the same period in 2008. The net charge-offs recorded for 2009 were primarily the result of a $91,000 home equity line of credit where the Bank did not have the first mortgage position and a boat loan of $101,000, net of the recovery recognized on repossession of the collateral securing the loan.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $36,000, or 7.2%, to $535,000 for the six-month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to $499,000 for the same period in 2008. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $26,000 and the increase in cash surrender value of life insurance was $44,000 higher when comparing the two periods, offset by a decrease in other income of $31,000 primarily due to the one-time gain on the sale of stock during 2008 discussed above.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $1.9 million to $5.1 million for 2009 compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2008. Charitable contributions increased $1.2 million when comparing the two periods primarily as a result of the $1.2 million one-time contribution to First Savings Charitable Foundation, which was organized in connection with, and funded upon completion of, the Company’s initial public offering. The contributions consisted of $100,000 cash and 110,000 shares of Company common stock (valued at $10.00 per share). Compensation and benefits expense increased $373,000 primarily due to $158,000 in ESOP compensation expense, as well as a reduction of $201,000 in compensation and benefits costs deferred in connection with loan originations. Professional fees increased $76,000 primarily due to operation as a public company and other fees related to the organization and operation of the Bank’s investment subsidiary organized in October 2008. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $70,000 primarily due to increased depreciation, utilities, and repairs and maintenance expense. Other operating expenses increased $212,000 primarily due to increased officer and employee training expenditures, director fees, fees related to the curtailment and termination of the Bank’s defined benefit pension plan, ESOP plan administration fees and increased other operating expenses.

Income Tax Expense. The Company recognized a tax benefit of $340,000 for the six-month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared to a tax benefit of $299,000 for the same period in 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Management. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. The Bank’s primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from loan repayments, maturing securities and FHLBI advances. While loan repayments and maturities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. At March 31, 2009, the Bank had cash and cash equivalents of $6.5 million and securities available-for-sale with a fair value of $29.9 million. If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with FHLBI and additional collateral eligible for repurchase agreements.

The Bank’s primary investing activity is the origination of one-to-four family mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, consumer, multi-family, commercial real estate, commercial business and residential construction loans. The Bank also invests in U.S. Government and agency securities and mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government agencies.

Capital Management. The Bank must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to support loan growth and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its deposits as they mature.

The Bank is required to maintain specific amounts of capital pursuant to OTS regulatory requirements. As of March 31, 2009, the Bank was in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements, which were effective as of such date, with tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios of 17.7%, 17.7% and 29.4%, respectively. The regulatory requirements at that date were 1.5%, 3.0% and 8.0%, respectively. At March 31, 2009, the Bank was considered “well-capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded on the Company’s financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are primarily used to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and letters of credit. A further presentation of the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements is presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2008.

For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the Company did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

ABOUT MARKET RISK

Qualitative Aspects of Market Risk. The Bank’s principal financial objective is to achieve long-term profitability while reducing its exposure to fluctuating market interest rates. The Bank has sought to reduce the exposure of its earnings to changes in market interest rates by attempting to manage the mismatch between asset and liability maturities and interest rates. In order to reduce the exposure to interest rate fluctuations, the Bank has developed strategies to manage its liquidity, shorten its effective maturities of certain interest-earning assets and decrease the interest rate sensitivity of its asset base. Management has sought to decrease the average maturity of its assets by emphasizing the origination of short-term residential mortgage, commercial mortgage and commercial business loans, all of which are retained by the Bank for its portfolio. The Bank relies on retail deposits as its primary source of funds. Management believes retail deposits, compared to brokered deposits, reduce the effects of interest rate fluctuations because they generally represent a more stable source of funds.

Quantitative Aspects of Market Risk. The Bank does not maintain a trading account for any class of financial instrument nor does the Bank engage in hedging activities or purchase high-risk derivative instruments. Furthermore, the Bank is not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk.

The Bank uses interest rate sensitivity analysis to measure its interest rate risk by computing changes in net portfolio value (“NPV”) of its cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. NPV represents the market value of portfolio equity and is equal to the market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance sheet items. This analysis assesses the risk of loss in market risk sensitive instruments in the event of a sudden and sustained 100 to 300 basis point increase or a sudden and sustained 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates with no effect given to any steps that management might take to counter the effect of that interest rate movement. Using data compiled by the OTS, the Bank receives a report that measures interest rate risk by modeling the change in NPV over a variety of interest rate scenarios.

The following table is provided by the OTS and sets forth the change in the Bank’s NPV at March 31, 2009, based on OTS assumptions that would occur in the event of an immediate change in interest rates, with no effect given to any steps that management might take to counteract that change.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

ABOUT MARKET RISK

The preceding table indicates that the Bank’s NPV would be expected to decrease in the event of a sudden and sustained 200 or 300 basis point increase or a 100 basis point decrease in prevailing interest rates, but would be expected to increase slightly in the event of a sudden and sustained increase of 100 basis points in rates. The expected decrease in the Bank’s NPV given a larger increase in rates is primarily attributable to the relatively high percentage of fixed-rate loans in the Bank’s loan portfolio. At March 31, 2009, approximately 55% of the loan portfolio consisted of fixed-rate loans.

Certain assumptions utilized by the OTS in assessing the interest rate risk of savings associations within its region were utilized in preparing the preceding tables. These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates and the market values of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios, among others.

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates of deposit could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table.
