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. The results of operations associated with Central Kentucky have been included in the operations of the Company since the closing date of December 31, 2012.

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 nine- and three-month periods ended March 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for an entire fiscal year. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 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 2013 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, adjusted for deferred loan fees, discounts on purchased loans, and the allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance, unless the collectability of the loan is in doubt. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on one- to four-family residential loans is generally discontinued at the time a loan is 180 days delinquent and on other loans at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

Basis of presentation (continued)

Interest income on non-consumer loans is discontinued (Placed on Non-Accrual status) 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, anticipated economic conditions in the primary lending area, trends in the level of delinquent and problem loans 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.

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.

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, land, farms, commercial (non-mortgage) and consumer and other loans. The residential real estate segment is our primary lending activity and it enables borrowers 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 occasionally lend to builders for construction of speculative or custom residential properties for resale, but 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 80% 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 acquired a portfolio of non-mortgage commercial loans totaling $3.2 million which had a carrying value of $2.4 million at march 31, 2014. Future originations of this type of loan are expected to be limited in the foreseeable future.

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.

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 are 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. Management has finalized the fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

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.

Investment Securities (continued)

The Company’s equity securities consist of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Company (FHLMC or Freddie Mac) stock, while our debt securities consist of agency bonds, a U.S. Treasury note, and mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities do not have a single maturity date. The amortized cost and fair value of held-to-maturity debt securities are shown by contractual maturity. Securities not due at a single maturity date are shown separately.

Our pledged securities at March 31, 2014, and June 30, 2013 totaled $2.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

There were no sales of investment securities during the nine month period ended March 31, 2014, or 2013 nor the fiscal year ended June 30, 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, because none of the investments have been in a loss position for more than twelve months, as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013.

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, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the Company had $2.6 million and $2.9 million of loans classified as TDRs, respectively. Of the TDRs at March 31, 2014, approximately 56.8% 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 43.2% were related to the borrower’s completion of Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings with no reaffirmation of his debt to the Banks.

The following table presents TDRs by loan type and accrual status:

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, 2014, 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

5. 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.

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.

Impaired loans, which are measured using the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $207,000 and $213,000 at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, with specific valuation allowance of $13,000 and $14,000, respectively. Other real estate owned measured at fair value less costs to sell, had carrying amounts of $682,000 and $648,000 at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

The following is a disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, 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, 2014 and June 30, 2013:

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. The methods used to estimate fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price. For loans on deposit accounts and consumer and other loans, fair values were deemed to equal the historic carrying values.

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

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

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

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, 2014 and June 30, 2013, 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, 2014 and June 30, 2013 are as follows:

Acquisition impact on size of the Company

On December 31, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of CKF Bancorp. As a result of the acquisition, the Company was much larger during the nine month period ended March 31, 2014, than during the prior year comparable period. This difference is apparent in the Average Balance Sheets section, below, and is the basis for many of the differences found in the period-to-period comparisons for the nine month periods.

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

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2013 to March 31, 2014

Assets: At March 31, 2014, the Company’s assets totaled $306.1 million, a decrease of $18.0 million, or 5.5%, from total assets of $324.1 million at June 30, 2013. This decrease was attributed primarily to decreases in loans, cash and cash equivalents and Federal Home Loan Bank stock.

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3.6 million or 21.5% to $13.0 million at March 31, 2014, as excess liquidity was utilized to repay borrowings.

Loans: Loans receivable, net, decreased by $11.3 million or 4.3% to $251.2 million at March 31, 2014, due primarily to low levels of loan demand and loan payoffs received. 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.

Non-Performing Loans: At March 31, 2014, the Company had non-performing loans (loans 90 or more days past due or on nonaccrual status) of approximately $7.8 million, or 3.09% of total loans (including loans purchased in the acquisition), compared to $8.0 million or 3.04%, of total loans at June 30, 2013. The Company’s allowance for loan losses totaled $1.5 million and $1.3 million at March 31, 2014, and June 30, 2013, respectively. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2014, represented 18.8% of nonperforming loans and 0.58% of total loans (including loans purchased in the acquisition), while at June 30, 2013, the allowance represented 16.4% of nonperforming loans and 0.50% of total loans.

The Company had $14.9 million in assets classified as substandard for regulatory purposes at March 31, 2014, including loans ($13.1 million) and real estate owned (“REO”) ($1.8 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 5.2% and 6.2% at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Of substandard loans, 99% were secured by real estate on which the Banks have priority lien position.

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2013 to March 31, 2014 (continued)

The following table presents the aggregate carrying value of REO at the dates indicated:

	March 31, 2014				June 30, 2013
	Number				Number		Net
	of		Carrying		of		Carrying

Building lot		3		20		4		50
Total REO		23	$	1,842		24	$	1,163

Although the Company sold several single-family, non-owner occupied REO properties during the nine month period and three were only two more properties at March 31, 2014 than at June 30, 2013, the carrying value of that class of properties increased $876,000 or 92.6% to $1.8 million. The REO properties acquired during the nine months just ended are more expensive properties than those held at June 30, 2013. Management does not believe this change represents a trend in our lending area.

At March 31, 2014, and June 30, 2013, the Company had $4.4 million and $5.0 million of loans classified as special mention, respectively (including loans purchased at December 31, 2012.) 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, 2014, the Company’s investment securities had decreased $2.3 million or 18.6% to $10.1 million compared to June 30, 2013, due primarily to the maturity of $1.0 million in agency bonds and principal repayment on mortgage-backed securities.

Liabilities: At March 31, 2014, the Company’s liabilities totaled $239.0 million, a decrease of $18.5 million, or 7.2%, from total liabilities at June 30, 2013. The decrease in liabilities was attributed primarily to decreases in deposits and FHLB advances. Deposits decreased $12.5 million or 5.4% to $218.5 million at March 31, 2014, as certificate of deposit customers have sought higher yields elsewhere. FHLB advances decreased $6.1 million or 25.0% from $24.3 million at June 30, 2013 to $18.2 million at March 31, 2014. We utilize excess liquidity to reduce liabilities when possible.

Shareholders’ Equity: At March 31, 2014, the Company’s shareholders’ equity totaled $67.1 million, an increase of $506,000 or 0.8% from the June 30, 2013 total. The change in shareholders’ equity is primarily associated with net profits for the period less dividends paid on common stock.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2013 to March 31, 2014 (continued)

The Company paid dividends of $1.1 million or 74.5% of net income for the nine month period just ended. The Company received notice from the Federal Reserve Board on August 6, 2013, 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 July 9, 2013, the members of First Federal MHC for the second time approved a dividend waiver on annual dividends of up to $0.40 per share of Kentucky First Federal Bancorp common stock. The Board of Directors of First Federal MHC applied for approval of another waiver. As a result, First Federal MHC will be permitted to waive the receipt of dividends for quarterly dividends up to $0.10 per common share through the third quarter of 2014. The Board of Directors of First Federal MHC has called a special meeting of members to be held July 8, 2014, to consider waiving of dividends through the third quarter of 2015. Management believes that the Company has sufficient capital to continue the current dividend policy without affecting the well-capitalized status of either subsidiary bank. Management cannot speculate on future dividend levels, because 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, 2013 for additional discussion regarding dividends.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Month Periods Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

General

Net income totaled $1.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $567,000 or 27.3% from net income of $2.1 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to a $958,000 bargain purchase gain recognized in the 2013 period, which was a result of the acquisition of CKF Bancorp, Inc. (“CKF Bancorp”), on December 31, 2012. Only three months of CKF Bancorp operations are included in the Company’s reported earnings for the 2013 period, while the Company’s results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 include operations acquired from CKF Bancorp.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $1.5 million or 22.8% to $8.1 million for the nine months recently ended compared to $6.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, due primarily to the larger operation base resulting from the acquisition of CKF Bancorp. Provision for loan losses decreased $48,000 or 8.3% to $531,000 for the nine month period just ended compared to $579,000 for the prior year period. Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $1.5 million or 20.3% to $8.6 million for the recent period compared to the prior year period. Interest income increased $1.5 million or 17.3%, to $9.9 million, while interest expense increased only $3,000 or 0.2% to $1.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, after amortization of fair value adjustments on interest bearing accounts.

Interest income on loans increased $1.5 million or 18.1% to $9.5 million, due primarily to the CKF Bancorp acquisition. The average balance of loans outstanding increased $50.9 million to $261.7 million for the nine month period just ended, while the average rate earned on loans outstanding decreased 25 basis points to 4.85% for the period. Interest income on mortgage-backed residential securities (“MBS”) decreased $41,000 or 28.7% to $102,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, due both to a reduced rate earned and a reduction in the average balance. The rate earned on MBS decreased 7 basis points to 2.78% for the recently ended period. Other securities, primarily composed of agency bonds, were also acquired in the acquisition, and accounted for $22,000 in interest income during the recent nine month period, compared to $9,000 for the prior year period. The average balance of the other investment securities was $7.9 million for the nine month period just ended and the average rate earned on those securities was 37 basis points. 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, 2014 and 2013 (continued)

Net Interest Income (continued)

Interest expense on deposits increased $122,000 or 13.3% to $1.0 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2014, due to the increase in average deposits outstanding. The increase in deposits was primarily attributed to the CKF Bancorp acquisition. Average deposits outstanding increased $61.5 million or 37.2% to $226.6 million for the recently ended nine month period, while the average rate paid on deposits declined from 13 basis points to 61 basis points for the current year period. Interest expense on borrowings decreased $119,000 or 35.4% to $217,000 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2014, compared to the prior year period. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was attributed both to a lower rate paid on borrowings and a smaller average balance outstanding. The average rate paid on borrowings decreased 9 basis points to 1.37% for the recently ended nine month period, while the average balance of borrowings outstanding decreased $9.5 million or 30.9% to $21.2 million.

Net interest margin decreased from 4.10% for the prior year period to 3.93% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Provision for Losses on Loans

The Company recorded $531,000 in provision for losses on loans during the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to a provision of $579,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Although management believes the provision for loan losses is adequate, there can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance will be sufficient 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 $319,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $916,000 or 72.4% from the same period in 2013. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily attributable to a $958,000 bargain purchase gain recognized in the 2013 period, which was a result of the CKF Bancorp acquisition. Also contributing to the decrease was lower net gains on sales of loans, which decreased $87,000 or 61.3% to $55,000 for the nine months just ended. The Company had both fewer loans and lower dollar volume of long-term, fixed rate loans that it sold to the FHLB during the period due to lower customer demand. The amount of gain realized on each loan was smaller in the period just ended than the prior period due to margin compression, which was associated with a recent rise in long-term mortgage rates. Other income increased $107,000 or 80.5% to $240,000 for the nine month period just ended, primarily attributable to fees earned on deposit accounts acquired from CKF Bancorp. Other real estate owned represented net charges of $44,000 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2014, compared to net charges of $65,000 in the prior year period. Included in the net charges for other real estate owned for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, were valuation adjustments on REO of $34,000 in addition to the net loss on sale of REO of $10,000.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Month Periods Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (continued)

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense totaled $6.1 million and $4.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of $1.3 million or 26.4% period to period. The increase was primarily related to higher costs associated with normal operations of the CKF Bancorp acquisition. Employee compensation and benefits increased $922,000 or 30.9% due to additional personnel hired with the acquisition, as well as higher retirement expense. Foreclosure and OREO expenses (net) was $107,000 for the recently ended nine month period compared to net charges of $17,000 for the prior year period. Somewhat offsetting the increases in non-interest expenses due to increased size of operation, outside service fees and legal fees decreased $148,000 and $143,000, respectively, period to period. Outside service and legal fees incurred in the prior year period were primarily associated with the CKF Bancorp acquisition.

Federal Income Tax Expense

Federal income taxes expense totaled $755,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $884,000 in the prior year period. The effective tax rates were 33.3% and 29.8% for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

General

Net income totaled $491,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $139,000 or 22.1% from net income of $630,000 for the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower net interest income.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income after provision for loan losses decreased $181,000 or 6.1% to $2.8 million for the three month period just ended compared to $3.0 million for the prior year quarter. Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased $624,000 or 8.4% to $2.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Provision for losses on loans decreased $83,000 to $78,000 for the recently-ended quarter compared to a provision of $161,000 in the prior year period. Interest income decreased by $328,000, or 9.2%, to $3.3 million, while interest expense decreased only $64,000 or 14.5% to $377,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, after amortization of fair value adjustments on interest bearing accounts.

Interest income on loans decreased $314,000 or 9.1% to $3.1 million, due to a decrease in the average size of the loan portfolio. The average balance of loans outstanding for the three month period ended March 31, 2014, decreased $15.3 million to $254.8 million, while the average rate earned decreased 19 basis points to 4.92% for the period. Interest income on mortgage-backed residential securities decreased $14,000 or 30.4% to $32,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, 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 periods ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

(continued)

Interest expense on deposits decreased $27,000 or 8.0% to $312,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2014, while interest expense on borrowings decreased $37,000 or 36.3% to $65,000 for the same period. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was attributed to a decrease in the average balance of deposits. The average balance of deposits decreased $14.9 million to $217.7 million for the most recent period, while the average rate paid on deposits decreased 1 basis point to 0.57%. The decrease in average deposits was attributed depositors withdrawing funds in search for higher yields on their funds. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was attributed to lower average outstanding balances. The average balance of borrowings outstanding decreased $19.1 million or 48.6% to $20.2 million for the recently ended three month period, while the average rate paid on borrowings increased 25 basis points to 1.29% for the most recent period.

Net interest margin increased from 4.05% for the prior year quarterly period to 4.09% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Provision for Losses on Loans

The Company recorded $78,000 in provision for losses on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to a $161,000 provision for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense totaled $2.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Increases of $82,000 or 6.2% in employee compensation and benefits and $23,000 or 29.9% in auditing and accounting were more than offset by efficiencies created by and expenses related to the CKF Bancorp acquisition. In addition to routine increases for existing personnel, the Company has hired additional staff to handle additional regulatory compliance issues. Legal fees decreased $71,000 or 87.7% to $10,000 for the recently ended period. The prior year period included legal fees associated with the CKF Bancorp acquisition.
