K-FED BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business : K-Fed Bancorp (or the “Company”) is a majority-owned subsidiary of K-Fed Mutual Holding Company (or the “Parent”). The Company and its Parent are holding companies that are federally chartered. The Company’s sole subsidiary, Kaiser Federal Bank (or the “Bank”), is a federally chartered savings association, which provides retail and commercial banking services to individuals and business customers from its nine branch locations throughout California. While the Bank originates many types of residential and commercial real estate loans, a large percentage of our residential real estate loans have been purchased from other financial institutions using our underwriting standards. However, we have not purchased any loans since June 2007.

The Company’s business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of our investment in the Bank. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Company include the Bank and the Company on a consolidated basis.

Basis of Presentation: The financial statements of K-Fed Bancorp have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and predominant practices followed by the financial services industry, and are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for (i) a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods included herein and (ii) to make such statements not misleading have been made.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements presented in this quarterly report include the accounts of K-Fed Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kaiser Federal Bank. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. K-Fed Mutual Holding Company is owned by the depositors of the Bank. These financial statements do not include the transactions and balances of K-Fed Mutual Holding Company.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, real estate owned and the valuation of financial instruments.

Reclassifications:   Some items in prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

 
Page 5 of 32


Adoption of New Accounting Standards:

Effective July 2009, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) codified accounting literature into a single source of authoritative accounting principles, except for certain authoritative rules and interpretive releases issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Since the codification did not alter existing GAAP, it did not have an impact on the financial statements of the Company.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new authoritative guidance under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” This guidance replaces the standard on business combinations and will significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combinations in consolidated financial statements. This guidance requires an entity to measure the business acquired at fair value and to recognize goodwill attributable to any noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) rather than just the portion attributable to the acquirer. The guidance will also result in fewer exceptions to the principle of measuring assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at fair value. In addition, the guidance will result in payments to third parties for consulting, legal, and similar services associated with an acquisition to be recognized as expenses when incurred rather than capitalized as part of the business combination. The new authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 805 was effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

In June 2008, the FASB issued new authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The guidance addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (“EPS”) under the two-class method. This guidance provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The new authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 260 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. All prior-period EPS data presented were to be adjusted retrospectively (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings, and selected financial data) to conform with the provisions of this guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact upon the Company.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value,” and was issued to increase the consistency in the application of ASC Topic 820. This ASU applies to all entities that measure liabilities at fair value under ASC Topic 820 and amends sections of ASC 820-10. This ASU states that, in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, fair value of the liability must be measured by either (a) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or (b) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of ASC Topic 820, such as an income approach or a market approach. Further if a restriction on the transference of the liability exists, the ASU clarifies that an entity is not required to factor that in to the inputs of the fair value determination. Lastly, the ASU also clarifies that a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability, or an unadjusted quoted price in an active market for the identical liability, when traded as an asset, are level 1 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first reporting period beginning after August 2009. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact upon the Company.

Newly Issued Accounting Standards:

In June 2009, the FASB issued new authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing,” to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. ASC Topic 860 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. ASC Topic 860 also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The new authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 860 will be effective at the start of the fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact upon the Company.

 
Page 6 of 32


In June 2009, the FASB issued new authoritative guidance under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46R.” In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-17 which provides updates to ASC Topic 810, “Consolidations”  This guidance changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting or similar rights should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The guidance requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s financial statements. The new guidance under ASC Topic 810 will be effective at the start of the fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact upon the Company.

Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. Unvested stock awards with non-forfeitable rights to dividends are considered outstanding for this calculation. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options.

Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC 820-10 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 (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2 : Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 : Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair values of securities available-for-sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally 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 appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Nonrecurring adjustments to certain real estate properties classified as real estate owned are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized in the following table:

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $23.0 million at March 31, 2010 as compared to $5.1 million at June 30, 2009. The fair value of collateral is calculated using a third party appraisal. The valuation allowance for these loans was $4.7 million at March 31, 2010 as compared to $1.2 million at June 30, 2009. An additional provision for loan losses of $3.9 million was made for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 relating to impaired loans.

Real estate owned is measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell at transfer. If the fair value of the asset declines, a write-down is recorded through expense. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, the Company did not incur any charges to reduce real estate owned to fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value:

Investments

Estimated fair values for investments are obtained from quoted market prices where available. Where quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Securities available-for-sale that are previously reported are excluded from the fair value disclosure below.

Loans

The estimated fair value for all loans is determined by discounting the estimated cash flows using the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and maturities.

Impaired loans that are previously reported are excluded from the fair value disclosure below.

Deposits

The estimated fair value of deposit accounts (savings, non interest bearing demand and money market accounts) is the carrying amount. The fair value of fixed-maturity time certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the estimated cash flows using the current rate at which similar certificates would be issued.

FHLB Advances

The fair values of the FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Other On-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

Other on-balance sheet financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, interest earning time-deposits in other financial institutions, accrued interest receivable, FHLB stock and accrued expenses and other liabilities. The carrying value of each of these financial instruments is a reasonable estimation of fair value. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The fair values for the Company’s off-balance sheet loan commitments are estimated based on fees charged to others to enter into similar agreements taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and credit standing of the Company’s customers. The estimated fair value of these commitments is not significant.

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is not more than likely it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.

The unrealized losses relate principally to the general change in interest rates and liquidity, and not credit quality, that has occurred since the securities purchase dates, and such unrecognized losses or gains will continue to vary with general interest rate level fluctuations in the future. As management has the intent and ability to hold debt securities until recovery, which may be maturity, and it is not more than likely it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, no declines in fair value are deemed to be other-than-temporary as of March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009.

At March 31, 2010, non-accrual loans totaled $28.9 million, compared to $8.9 million at June 30, 2009. At March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, there were no loans past due more than 90 days and still accruing interest. Included in non-accrual loans are troubled debt restructurings of $8.4 million and $2.1 million at March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively. At March 31, 2010 there was a troubled debt restructured loan in the amount of $1.7 million that was accruing interest and not included in non-accrual loans.  The Company has no further commitments to customers whose loans are troubled debt restructurings.

A loan is impaired when it is probable, based on current information and events, the Bank will be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. When it is determined that a loss is probable, a specific valuation allowance is established and included in the allowance for loan losses. The amount of impairment is determined by the difference between the recorded investment in the loan and estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral on collateral dependent loans.

Individually impaired loans were as follows:

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, the Company’s average investment in impaired loans was $26.5 million and $18.8 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, the Company’s average investment in impaired loans was $5.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

Payments received on impaired loans are recorded as a reduction of principal or as interest income depending on management’s assessment of the ultimate collectability of the loan principal. Generally, interest income on an impaired loan is recorded on a cash basis when the outstanding principal is brought current. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, income recorded on impaired loans totaled $114,000 and $256,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, income recorded on impaired loans totaled $18,000 and $52,000, respectively. Interest income recorded on impaired loans for all periods presented was recorded on a cash basis.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to the Company and the Bank that are based on the beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often includes words like “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” and “intend” or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “could,” or “may” and similar expressions or the negative thereof. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include, changes in the interest rate environment, changes in general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes that adversely affect the business of K-Fed Bancorp and Kaiser Federal Bank, and changes in the securities markets. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q to reflect future events or developments.

Recent Developments

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Coverage/Assessments. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (“EESA”) of 2008 temporarily increased the limit on Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) coverage for deposits to $250,000 from $100,000 through December 31, 2013. In addition, on October 14, 2008, the FDIC announced the creation of the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”) as part of a larger government effort to strengthen confidence and encourage liquidity in the nation’s banking system. All eligible institutions were automatically enrolled in the program through December 5, 2008 at no cost. Organizations that did not wish to participate in the TLGP needed to opt out by December 5, 2008. After that time, participating entities were charged fees. One component of the TLGP provides full FDIC insurance coverage for non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts, regardless of dollar amount.

This program, originally set to expire on March 31, 2010, was recently extended to June 30, 2010. An annualized 10 basis point assessment on balances in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts that exceed the existing deposit insurance limit of $250,000 will be assessed on a quarterly basis. The Company did not opt out and is participating in this component of the TLGP. As of March 31, 2010 the Company had no non-interest bearing transaction accounts in excess of $250,000. We opted into the extension which took effect on January 1, 2010.  An annualized assessment rate between 15 and 25 basis points on balances in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts that exceed the existing deposit insurance limit of $250,000 will be assessed depending on the institution’s risk category.  On April 13, 2010, the FDIC announced its intention to extend the program again until December 31, 2010 and retained the discretion to further extend the program until December 31, 2011.  Institutions must elect to opt out of the extension before it takes effect on July 1, 2010.  The assessment rate remains the same from the prior extension.  We anticipate opting into the extension.


Market Area

Economic conditions remain weak both nationally and in our market area of California.  We continue to experience a downward pressure on home prices and California remains one of the top in the nation for foreclosure activity.  California, in particular has experienced significant declines in real estate values and elevated unemployment rates.  Unemployment rates in California increased to 12.6% in March 2010 as compared to 12.4% in December 2009 and 11.6% in June 2009.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009.

Assets. Total assets decreased $2.0 million, or 0.2% to $893.1 million at March 31, 2010 from $895.1 million at June 30, 2009 due primarily to a decrease in total cash and cash equivalents and to a lesser extent, a decrease in our investment securities portfolio, partially offset by an increase in our net loans. Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $7.6 million, or 10.3% to $66.1 million at March 31, 2010 from $73.7 million at June 30, 2009. The decrease was a result of the repayment of $60.0 million in FHLB advances that matured during the period.  The repayment was funded with available liquidity and strong deposit growth.

Our investment securities portfolio decreased $2.9 million, or 29.9% to $6.8 million at March 31, 2010 from $9.8 million at June 30, 2009. The decrease was attributable to maturities and normal repayments of principal on our mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.

Our net loan portfolio increased by $5.7 million, or 0.8% to $752.6 million at March 31, 2010 from $746.9 million at June 30, 2009 due primarily to an increase in multi-family loans partially offset by an increase in the allowance for loan losses. Multi-family loans increased $63.7 million, or 32.4% to $260.2 million at March 31, 2010 from $196.6 million at June 30, 2009. One-to-four family real estate loans decreased $33.9 million, or 9.0% to $343.4 million at March 31, 2010 from $377.2 million at June 30, 2009. Commercial real estate loans decreased $7.2 million, or 5.9% to $114.0 million at March 31, 2010 from $121.1 million at June 30, 2009. Other loans which are comprised primarily of automobile loans decreased $8.9 million, or 15.8% to $47.3 million at March 31, 2010 from $56.2 million at June 30, 2009. Real estate loans comprised 93.8% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 2010, compared with 92.5% at June 30, 2009. The decrease in one-to-four family real estate loans and increase in multi-family loans was due to our focus on originations of multi-family loans as a means of diversifying the loan portfolio.

Other assets increased by $4.0 million to $8.2 million at March 31, 2010 from $4.2 million at June 30, 2009. The increase in other assets was primarily a result of the FDIC prepayment of insurance premiums of $3.6 million paid in December 2009. As of March 31, 2010 the FDIC prepayment balance was $3.3 million.

Deposits. Total deposits increased $82.5 million, or 14.6% to $648.7 million at March 31, 2010 from $566.2 million at June 30, 2009. The growth was comprised of increases of $50.8 million in certificates of deposit, $17.6 million in checking and savings accounts and $14.1 million in money market accounts. The increase in certificate of deposit accounts was a result of promotions for these types of accounts as well as an increase in non-promotional individual retirement account balances. The increase in checking and savings balances was primarily a result of a higher than normal payroll experienced by a significant number of our customers at the end of March.  In addition, money market accounts have steadily increased throughout the year.

Borrowings. Advances from the FHLB of San Francisco decreased $60.0 million, or 29.0% to $147.0 million at March 31, 2010 from $207.0 million at June 30, 2009. The decline was the result of scheduled maturities in August and September 2009 and was funded with available liquidity as well as increased deposits.  In addition the entire $25.0 million was paid down on the outstanding State of California time deposit at maturity.

Stockholders’ Equity.   Stockholders’ equity increased $463,000 to $93.0 million at March 31, 2010 from $92.6 million at June 30, 2009 primarily as a result of $1.3 million in net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and the allocation of ESOP shares, stock awards, and stock options totaling $680,000.  This increase was partially offset by the payment of dividends of $1.4 million ($0.33 per share) and stock repurchases of $115,000.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009.

General. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1.1 million, a decrease of $85,000 as compared to net income of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Earnings per basic and diluted common share were $0.08 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $0.09 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in net income primarily resulted from an increase in the provision for loan losses partially offset by an increase in net interest income.

Interest Income. Interest income remained unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 at $11.3 million as interest and fees on loans was $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Interest Expense . Interest expense decreased $1.1 million, or 20.8% to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to a 71 basis point decline in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities from 3.09% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to 2.38% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of low interest rates during the period. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $20.1 million from $708.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $728.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 due primarily to an increase in the average balance of deposits.

The decrease in interest expense was also the result of a decline in the average balance of borrowings of $77.5 million, or 33.4%, to $154.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $232.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decline was the result of scheduled FHLB advance repayments and was funded with available liquidity and increased deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses . Our provision for loan losses increased to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $660,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was comprised of $1.1 million in general valuation allowances and $1.2 million in specific valuation allowances.  The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to the significant increase in real estate loan delinquencies and troubled debt restructurings during the period.  The increase in delinquencies and troubled debt restructurings was experienced primarily in our one-to-four family residential mortgage loans as a result of the continued deterioration in the housing market as well as deteriorating general economic conditions and prolonged and elevated levels of unemployment in our market area.

Noninterest Income. Our noninterest income increased by $77,000, or 7.4% to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The increase in noninterest income was primarily a result of an increase in ATM fees and charges due to increased transaction volume.

Noninterest Expense. Our noninterest expense increased slightly to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $378,000, or 49.0% to $394,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $772,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily the result of lower pretax income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009. The effective tax rate was 26.2% and 39.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The change in the effective tax rate was a result of the impact of tax credits on lower projected taxable income.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009.

General. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $1.3 million, a decrease of $2.2 million as compared to net income of $3.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Earnings per basic and diluted common share were $0.10 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $0.27 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in net income primarily resulted from an increase in the provision for loan losses partially offset by an increase in net interest income.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $114,000, or 0.3%, to $33.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $33.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The primary reasons for the decline in interest income were decreases in interest on securities, dividends on FHLB stock and interest on federal funds sold.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase in interest and fees on loans.

Interest and fees on loans increased $423,000, or 1.3%, to $33.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $32.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  The primary factor for the increase was an increase in the average loan receivable balance of $12.1 million, or 1.6% to $755.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $743.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 due to increased origination of multi-family loans during the period.

Interest income on securities decreased by $207,000, or 42.7%, to $278,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $485,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $6.1 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities from $14.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 to $8.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of maturities and normal repayments of principal on our mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.

FHLB dividends decreased by $279,000, or 88.9%, to $35,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $314,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was attributable to the FHLB paying only a nominal dividend as compared to the prior period.  Based on announcements from the FHLB we are not expecting significant levels of dividend payments for the foreseeable future.

Other interest income decreased by $51,000, or 12.0% to $374,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $425,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was a result of an 88 basis point decline in the average yield earned on federal funds sold from 1.11% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 to 0.23% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The yield earned on federal funds sold was impacted by the low targeted federal funds rate.

Interest Expense . Interest expense decreased $3.8 million, or 21.1% to $13.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $17.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to an 80 basis point decline in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities from 3.32% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 to 2.52% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of low interest rates during the period. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $27.7 million from $708.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 to $735.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 due primarily to an increase in the average balance of deposits during the period.

The decrease in interest expense was also the result of a decline in the average balance of borrowings which decreased $59.2 million, or 24.5%, to $182.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $241.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The decline was the result of scheduled FHLB advance repayments and was funded with available liquidity due to increased deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses . Our provision for loan losses increased to $8.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $2.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was comprised of $4.9 million in general valuation allowances and $3.9 million in specific valuation allowances.  The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to an increase in real estate loan delinquencies and troubled debt restructurings during the period. – See-“Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009-Provision for Loan Losses.”  Also, impacting the provision for loan losses for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 were one commercial real estate and two multi-family property loans totaling $5.9 million that were added to non-accrual status.

Noninterest Income. Our noninterest income increased by $82,000, or 2.4% to $3.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $3.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  The increase in noninterest income was primarily a result of an increase in ATM fees and charges due to increased transaction volume.

Noninterest Expense. Our noninterest expense increased $723,000, or 6.0% to $12.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $12.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to a $177,000 increase in salaries and benefits and a $398,000 increase in federal deposit insurance premiums.

Salaries and benefits represented 48.7% and 50.1% of total noninterest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Total salaries and benefits increased $177,000, or 2.9%, to $6.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $6.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to annual salary increases and an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees.

Federal deposit insurance premiums increased $398,000, or 106.7% to $771,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $373,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was due to an increase in the general assessment rate due to ongoing bank failures.

Income Tax Expense . Income tax expense decreased to $427,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $2.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. This decrease was primarily the result of lower pretax income for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The effective tax rate was 24.5% and 36.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate was a result of the impact of tax credits on lower projected taxable income.

Asset Quality

As a result of the prolonged distressed economic environment, elevated unemployment levels and a depressed real estate market, our loan portfolio continues to show increased delinquencies.  While delinquency ratios have increased we continue our conservative and disciplined lending practices including our strict adherence to a long standing disciplined credit culture that emphasizes the consistent application of underwriting standards to all loans. In this regard, the Bank fully underwrites all loans based on an applicant’s employment history, credit history and an appraised value of the subject property. With respect to purchased loans, the Bank underwrites each loan based upon our own underwriting standards prior to making the purchase.  However, we have not purchased any loans since June 2007.

The following underwriting guidelines, among other things, have been used by the Bank as underwriting tools to further limit the Bank’s potential loss exposure:

1.  
All variable rate loans are underwritten using the fully indexed rate.
2.  
All interest-only loans were underwritten using the fully amortized payment.
3.  
We only lend up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price for one-to-four family residential loans.

Additionally, the Bank’s portfolio has remained strongly anchored in traditional mortgage products. We do not originate or purchase construction and development loans, teaser option-ARM loans, negatively amortizing loans or high loan-to-value loans.

As a result of the distressed economic environment, elevated unemployment levels and a depressed real estate market, the real estate loan portfolio has shown increased delinquency. Delinquent loans 60 days or more past due increased to $18.6 million or 2.44% of total loans at March 31, 2010 from $8.5 million or 1.13% of total loans at June 30, 2009.  Delinquent one-to-four family residential loans increased from $8.4 million at June 30, 2009 to $15.8 million at March 31, 2010.  In addition there were two multi-family loans totaling $2.8 million that were over 90 days delinquent at March 31, 2010 and are in the process of foreclosure.

N on-Performing Assets.   The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in our loan portfolio. Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans and foreclosed assets. Loans to a customer whose financial condition has deteriorated are considered for non-accrual status whether or not the loan is 90 days and over past due. All loans past due 90 days and over are classified as non-accrual. On non-accrual loans, interest income is not recognized until actually collected. At the time the loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed and charged against current income. Non-accrual loans also include troubled debt restructurings. Real estate owned and repossessed assets consist of real estate and other assets which have been acquired through foreclosure on loans. At the time of foreclosure, assets are recorded at the lower of their estimated fair value less selling costs or the loan balance, with any write-down charged against the allowance for loan losses.  The fair value of real estate owned is determined by a third party appraisal of the property.

The increase in non-accrual loans was a result of the increased delinquencies in our real estate loans as a result of the continued decline in the housing market as well as deteriorating general economic conditions and increased and prolonged unemployment in our market area.   The Bank continues to work with responsible borrowers to keep their properties and as a result has restructured $10.1 million in mortgage loans of which $8.5 million are paying according to their revised contractual terms at March 31, 2010.  This compares to $2.1 million in restructured loans at June 30, 2009.  Of the $10.1 million in restructured loans, $8.4 million were reported as non-accrual at March 31, 2010.  At March 31, 2010 there were $6.1 million of income property loans, consisting of commercial and multi-family real estate loans, on non-accrual for which specific valuation allowances of $1.0 million have been applied.  Included in the $6.1 million of income property loans on non-accrual at March 31, 2010 were multi-family loans totaling $3.4 million and a commercial real estate loan totaling $2.7 million. The commercial real estate loan was current at March 31, 2010 but had previously experienced cash flow problems and remains on non-accrual. There were no delinquent or non-accrual income property loans at June 30, 2009.  The increase in non-accrual loans has impacted our determination of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2010. Non-accrual loans are assessed to determine impairment. Loans that are found to be impaired are individually evaluated and a specific valuation allowance is applied.

Classified Assets.   We regularly review potential problem assets in our portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.  The total amount of classified assets represented 5.40% of our total assets at March 31, 2010, as compared to 2.39% of our total assets at June 30, 2009.  The aggregate amount of our classified and special mention assets at the dates indicated were as follows:

The increase in classified assets was consistent with the increases in delinquent loans and non-performing assets noted above.

Allowance for Loan Losses. We maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, which include loss ratio analyses by type of loan and specific allowances for identified problem loans, including the results of measuring impaired loans as provided in FASB ASC 310, “Receivables.” The accounting standards prescribe the measurement methods, income recognition and disclosures related to impaired loans.

The loss ratio analysis component of the allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans based on the internal risk evaluation of the loans or pools of loans. Changes in risk evaluations of both performing and non-performing loans affect the amount of the formula allowance. Loss factors are based both on our historical loss experience as well as on significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.


 
Page 24 of 32


The appropriateness of the allowance is reviewed and established by management based upon its evaluation of then-existing economic and business conditions affecting our key lending areas and other conditions, such as credit quality trends (including trends in non-performing loans expected to result from existing conditions), collateral values, loan volumes and concentrations, specific industry conditions within portfolio segments and recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio that existed as of the balance sheet date and the impact that such conditions were believed to have had on the collectability of the loan. Senior management reviews these conditions quarterly in discussions with our senior credit officers. To the extent that any of these conditions is evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s estimate of the effect of such condition may be reflected as a specific allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio segment. Where any of these conditions is not evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s evaluation of the loss related to this condition is reflected in the general allowance. The evaluation of the inherent loss with respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments.

Management also evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based on a review of individual loans, historical loan loss experience, the value and adequacy of collateral and economic conditions in our market area. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. For all specifically reviewed loans for which it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the loan agreement, we determine impairment by computing a fair value either based on discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and are excluded from specific impairment evaluation, and their allowance for loan losses is calculated in accordance with the allowance for loan losses policy described above.

Because the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates of losses inherent in the loan portfolio, actual losses can vary significantly from the estimated amounts. Our methodology as described above permits adjustments to any loss factor used in the computation of the formula allowance in the event that, in management’s judgment, significant factors which affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date are not reflected in the loss factors. By assessing the estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis, we are able to adjust specific and inherent loss estimates based upon any more recent information that has become available. In addition, management’s determination as to the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) and the FDIC, which may require the establishment of additional general or specific allowances based upon their judgment of the information available to them at the time of their examination of the Bank.

The distribution of the allowance for losses on loans at the dates indicated is summarized as follows.

Changes in asset quality were considered in the allowance for loan losses based on a detailed analysis of loans, including delinquent loans. Each delinquent loan was evaluated for impairment based on the loan balance, the borrower’s ability to pay and collateral value. The other factors reviewed in determining the allowance for loan losses included loss ratio trends by loan product, concentrations in geographic regions and prolonged unemployment rates. The Company also reviewed the debt service coverage ratios, delinquent taxes, repayment history and seasoning for income property loans. The Company has not changed its estimation methods or assumptions related to the allowance for loan losses during the periods presented.

The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.68% at March 31, 2010 as compared to 0.61% at June 30, 2009. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of non-accrual loans was 44.4% at March 31, 2010 as compared to 51.7% at June 30, 2009.  The general valuation allowance has increased from $3.4 million at June 30, 2009 to $8.1 million at March 31, 2010.  The general valuation allowance as a percent of total loans was 1.08% at March 31, 2010 as compared to 0.46% at June 30, 2009.  The specific valuation allowance increased from $1.2 million at June 30, 2009 to $4.7 million at March 31, 2010.  The increase in the allowance for loan losses was primarily attributable to an increase in historical loss experience as well as the significant increase in real estate loan delinquencies and troubled debt restructurings during the period.  The increase in delinquencies and troubled debt restructures was experienced primarily in our one-to-four family real estate loans as a result of the continued deterioration in the housing market as well as deteriorating general economic conditions and prolonged and elevated levels of unemployment in our market area.  Also, impacting the allowance was a $6.1 million increase in non-accrual income property loans for which specific valuation allowances of $1.0 million have been applied.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Commitments

Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to the return on loans. Historically, we have maintained liquid assets above levels believed to be adequate to meet the requirements of normal operations, including potential deposit outflows. Cash flow projections are regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity is maintained. See “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows” contained in the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this document.

Our liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, interest earning accounts and mortgage-backed and related securities, is a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. Our primary sources of funds are deposits; amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, and other short-term investments; and funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed related securities and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. We also generate cash through borrowings. We utilize FHLB advances and State of California time deposits to leverage our capital base and provide funds for our lending and investment activities as well as enhance our interest rate risk management.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as overnight deposits as well as interest earning time deposits in other financial institutions. On a longer-term basis, we maintain a strategy of investing in various lending products. We use our sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing commitments, to pay maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals, to fund loan commitments and to maintain our portfolio of mortgage-backed and related securities. At March 31, 2010, total approved loan commitments amounted to $6.6 million, which included the unfunded portion of loans of $2.5 million.

Certificates of deposit and advances from the FHLB of San Francisco scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2010, totaled $174.9 million and $62.0 million, respectively. Based on historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with Kaiser Federal Bank and we anticipate that we will continue to have sufficient funds, through deposits and borrowings, to meet our current commitments.

 
Page 26 of 32


At March 31, 2010, we had available additional advances from the FHLB of San Francisco in the amount of $215.8 million. We also had an available line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of $80.9 million at March 31, 2010.

Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, we actively seek to continue as a “well capitalized” institution in accordance with regulatory standards. At March 31, 2010, Kaiser Federal Bank was a “well-capitalized” institution under regulatory standards.

Impact of Inflation

The consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These principles require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.

Our primary assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates, however, do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation. In a period of rapidly rising interest rates, the liquidity and maturity structure of our assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.

The principal effect of inflation, as distinct from levels of interest rates, on earnings is in the area of noninterest expense. Such expense items as employee compensation, employee benefits and occupancy and equipment costs may be subject to increases as a result of inflation. An additional effect of inflation is the possible increase in the dollar value of the collateral securing loans that we have made.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our Risk When Interest Rates Change. The rates of interest we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Market interest rates change over time. Our fixed rate loans generally have longer maturities than our fixed rate deposits. Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. The risk associated with changes in interest rates and our ability to adapt to these changes is known as interest rate risk and is our most significant market risk.

How We Measure Our Risk of Interest Rate Changes. As part of our attempt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and comply with applicable regulations, we monitor our interest rate risk. In monitoring interest rate risk we continually analyze and manage assets and liabilities based on their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities, and their sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates.

In order to minimize the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged increases in interest rates on our results of operations, we have adopted investment/asset and liability management policies to better match the maturities and repricing terms of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The board of directors’ sets and recommends the asset and liability policies of Kaiser Federal Bank, which are implemented by the asset/liability management committee.

The purpose of the asset/liability management committee is to communicate, coordinate and control asset/liability management consistent with our business plan and board approved policies. The committee establishes and monitors the volume and mix of assets and funding sources taking into account relative costs and spreads, interest rate sensitivity and liquidity needs. The objectives are to manage assets and funding sources to produce results that are consistent with liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk, and profitability goals.

The asset/liability management committee generally meets on a weekly basis to discuss, among other things, economic conditions and interest rate outlook, current and projected liquidity needs and capital position, anticipated changes in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities and interest rate risk exposure limits versus current projections pursuant to net present value of portfolio equity analysis and income simulations. The asset/liability management committee regularly reviews interest rate risk by forecasting the impact of alternative interest rate environments on net interest income and economic value of portfolio equity, which is defined as the net present value of an institution’s existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments, and evaluating such impacts against the maximum potential changes in net interest income and economic value of portfolio equity that are authorized by the board of directors of Kaiser Federal Bank. The asset/liability management committee recommends appropriate strategy changes based on this review. The chairman or his designee is responsible for reviewing and reporting on the effects of the policy implementations and strategies to the board of directors at least monthly.

In order to manage our assets and liabilities and achieve the desired liquidity, credit quality, interest rate risk, profitability and capital targets, we have focused our strategies on: (1) originating adjustable rate loans; (2) originating a reasonable volume of short-term and intermediate-term consumer loans; (3) managing our deposits to establish stable deposit relationships; and (4) using FHLB advances, and pricing on fixed-term non-core deposits to align maturities and repricing terms.

At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long-term and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the asset/liability management committee may determine to increase our interest rate risk position somewhat in order to maintain our net interest margin. We intend to continue our existing strategy of originating relatively short-term and/or adjustable rate loans. The Bank does not maintain any securities for trading purposes. The Bank does not currently engage in trading activities or use instruments such as interest rate swaps, hedges, or other similar derivatives to control interest rate risk.

The OTS provides Kaiser Federal Bank with the information presented in the following table, which is based on information provided to the OTS by Kaiser Federal Bank. It presents the change in Kaiser Federal Bank’s net portfolio value at March 31, 2010 that would occur upon an immediate change in interest rates based on OTS assumptions but without giving effect to any steps that management might take to counteract that change.

The OTS uses certain assumptions in assessing the interest rate risk of savings associations. These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the fair values of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios.

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables. For example, although assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in the 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, if interest rates change, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates of deposit could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table.
