NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six- and three-month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

3. Critical Accounting Policies (continued)

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

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

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

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

5. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and Kentucky jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2005.

The Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, on July 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The adoption of FIN 48 resulted in a $250,000 increase to the beginning balance of retained earnings, with no impact on the results of operations of the Company.

The following financial statement line items for the six months ended December 31, 2007 were affected by the change in accounting principle.

	December 31, 2007 (in thousands)
	As Computed Pre-				As Reported Under
	FIN 48				FIN 48				Effect of Change
Balance Sheet
Refundable income taxes	$	203			$	453			$	250
Retained earnings		32,077				32,327				250

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits us to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value (i.e. the Fair Value Option). Election of the Fair Value Option is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities for which the Fair Value Option has been elected would be reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. If we elect the Fair Value Option for certain financial assets and liabilities, we will report unrealized gains and losses due to changes in their fair value in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of July 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on our consolidated financial statements.

5. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities using fair value. Prior to the issuance of FAS 157, guidance for applying fair value was incorporated in several accounting pronouncements. FAS 157 provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. FAS 157 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active markets. Under FAS 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within that hierarchy. While FAS 157 does not add any new fair value measurements, it does change current practice. Changes to practice include: (1) a requirement for an entity to include its own credit standing in the measurement of its liabilities; (2) a modification of the transaction price presumption; (3) a prohibition on the use of block discounts when valuing large blocks of securities for broker-dealers and investment companies; and (4) a requirement to adjust the value of restricted stock for the effect of the restriction even if the restriction lapses within one year. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, or July 1, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting FAS 157 on our financial statements.

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

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

6. Commitments

As of December 31, 2007, loan commitments and unused lines of credit totaled $12.7 million, including $2.3 million in undisbursed construction loans, $923,000 in one- to four-family mortgage loans and $9.5 million in lines of credit secured by equity in real property.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

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

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

Assets: At December 31, 2007, the Company’s assets totaled $266.1 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 1.0%, from total assets at June 30, 2007. The primary reason for the decrease in assets was the maturity and/or call of $10.8 million, or 18.2%, of held-to-maturity securities, which decreased to $48.8 million at December 31, 2007. Somewhat offsetting the decrease in held-to-maturity securities was an increase of $8.2 million, or 4.9%, in loans receivable. It is management’s intention to deploy maturing or called investments into mortgage loans to the extent possible.

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $560,000 or 20.6%. It is the Company’s preference to minimize the level of cash and cash equivalents and invest liquidity into higher-yielding assets, when possible.

Loans: Loans receivable, net, increased to $174.4 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of $8.2 million or 4.9%. Management believes that the successful redeployment of the Company’s funds from lower-yielding cash, cash equivalents and investment securities to higher-yielding mortgage loans is important for the long-term success of the Company. The Company will continue to emphasize loan originations to the extent that it is profitable and prudent.

Non-Performing Loans: At December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $1.0 million, or 0.6% of net loans, in loans 90 days or more past due, compared to $968,000, or 0.6%, of net loans at June 30, 2007. At December 31, 2007, the Company’s allowance for loan losses of $655,000 represented 62.7% of nonperforming loans and 0.4% of total loans.

The Company had $1.7 million in loans classified as substandard for regulatory purposes at December 31, 2007. Classified loans as a percentage of net loans was 1.0% and 0.9% at December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, respectively. Substandard assets included 31 single-family home loans with loan-to-value ratios (percentage of loan balance to the original or an updated appraisal) ranging from 11% to 98%*; three home equity lines of credit secured by single-family homes; and four single-family homes acquired through foreclosure (with an aggregate fair value of $35,000). At December 31, 2007, the Company had $695,000 in loans classified as special mention. This category includes assets which do not currently expose us to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification, but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving our close attention. *Of the substandard assets, one loan exceeded a 90% loan-to-value ratio and that loan is covered by private mortgage insurance.

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

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

Non-Performing Loans (continued)
At December 31, 2007, no loans were classified as doubtful or loss for regulatory purposes.

Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities: At December 31, 2007, the Company’s investment and mortgage-backed securities had decreased $10.7 million or 14.6% to $62.2 million. This decrease was due primarily to the maturity and/or call of $10.0 million of investment securities and repayment of principal on mortgage-backed securities which was partially offset by a net increase of $159,000 in the market value of investments and mortgage-backed securities held as available for sale. Since December 31, 2007, $11.0 million in investments have been called. Excluding those investments which have been called, approximately $35.9 million of the Company’s investment and agency securities are scheduled to mature within the next three years.

Liabilities: At December 31, 2007, the Company’s liabilities totaled $205.3 million, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 1.1%, from total liabilities at June 30, 2007. The decrease in liabilities was attributed primarily to a $2.9 million, or 2.1%, decrease in deposits, which decreased to $137.0 million at December 31, 2007. Somewhat offsetting the decrease in deposits was an increase of $1.0 million or 1.6%, in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, which totaled $66.1 million at December 31, 2007. Of the $66.1 million in advances, approximately $26.6 million were in overnight advances. At times, the Company has chosen not to meet market rates if the deposits cannot be invested profitably in interest-earning assets. As stated previously, management anticipates reducing the level of Federal Home Loan Bank advances as lower-yielding investment securities mature over the next three years.

Shareholders’ Equity: At December 31, 2007, the Company’s shareholders’ equity totaled $60.8 million, a decrease of $628,000 or 1.0% from the June 30, 2007 total. The primary reason for the decrease in shareholders’ equity is the acquisition of $1.4 million of treasury shares at an average cost of $10.04 per share.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six-Month Periods Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006

General

Net earnings totaled $363,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $75,000, or 17.1% from the $438,000 in net earnings for the same period in 2006. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in net interest income.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income declined $192,000 or 7.0% to $2.6 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2007, compared to the 2006 period, due to increased cost of funds. Interest income increased by $329,000, or 5.1%, to $6.7 million, while interest expense increased $521,000 or 14.3% to $4.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007. The growth in interest expense was attributable to increased costs for both deposits and advances.

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

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

Net Interest Income (continued)

Interest expense on deposits increased $359,000 or 16.1% to $2.6 million, while interest expense on advances increased $162,000, or 11.4%, to $1.6 million for the 2007 period compared to the prior year period. The increase in interest expense on deposits was due an increase in the average rate paid on deposits, as the average balance of deposits outstanding declined for the six-month periods year over year. The average rate paid on deposits increased 56 basis points to 3.73% for the six month period ended December 31, 2007, while the average balance outstanding declined 1.0% to $140.0 million for the current period ended. The increase in interest expense on advances was attributable to an increase in the average balance outstanding, as the average rate paid on those advances declined period to period. The average balance of advances outstanding increased $8.0 million, or 13.3%, to $68.2 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2007. The average rate paid on advances decreased by 8 basis points to 4.65% for the 2007 six month period. Net interest margin decreased by 25 basis points to 2.06% for the six months ended December 31, 2007, compared to 2.31% for the comparable 2006 period.

Provision for Losses on Loans

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

Other Income

Other income totaled $88,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $5,000 from the same period in 2006.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense totaled $2.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $72,000, or 3.3%, compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in employee compensation and benefits, which totaled $1.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $92,000, or 5.8%, from the same period in 2006. The decrease in employee compenation and benefits is primarily related to lower salary levels associated with various retirements.

Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes totaled $166,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $40,000, or 19.4%, compared to the same period in 2006. The effective tax rates were 31.4% and 32.0% for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

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

General

Net earnings totaled $211,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $7,000, or 3.4% from the $204,000 in net earnings for the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to a decline in general, administrative and other expense.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income declined $15,000 or 1.1% to $1.3 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2007, compared to the 2006 period, due to increased cost of funds. Interest income increased by $202,000, or 6.3%, while interest expense increased $217,000 or 11.6% to $2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The growth in interest expense was attributable to increased costs for both deposits and advances.

Interest expense on deposits increased $161,000 or 14.3% to $1.3 million, while interest expense on advances increased $56,000, or 7.6%, to $797,000 for the 2007 quarter compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in interest expense on deposits was due an increase in the average rate paid on deposits, as the average balance of deposits outstanding declined for the quarterly periods year over year. The average rate paid on deposits increased 51 basis points to 3.73% for the three month period ended December 31, 2007, while the average balance outstanding declined 1.0% to $138.4 million for the current quarter. The increase in interest expense on advances was attributable to an increase in the average balance outstanding, as the average rate paid on those advances declined. The average balance of advances outstanding increased $8.6 million, or 13.7%, to $70.9 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2007. The average rate paid on advances decreased of 26 basis points to 4.5% for the 2007 quarter. Net interest margin decreased by 12 basis points to 2.10% for the three months ended December 31, 2007, compared to 2.22% for the comparable 2006 quarter.

Provision for Losses on Loans

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

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

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

Other Income

Other income totaled $43,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $4,000 from the same period in 2006. The decrease in the 2007 period is attributable to a nonreoccuring gain on sale of real estate acquired through foreclosure, which was recognized in the 2006 period.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General, administrative and other expense totaled $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $31,000, or 2.9%, compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease was due primarily to a decrease in employee compensation and benefits, which totaled $724,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $55,000, or 7.1%, from the same period in 2006. The decrease in employee compensation and benefits is related to both a decrease in salary cost and lower retirement expense. The lower salary levels are associated with various retirements and other attrition of the Company’s personnel, while the Company has experienced somewhat favorable results with regard to its defined benefit retirement plan.

Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes totaled $99,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $5,000, or 5.3%, compared to the same period in 2006. The effective tax rates were 31.9% and 31.5% for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
