Highlight of Business Operations:

Loans receivable totaled $158.4 million at December 31, 2008, an increase of

$2.2 million, or 1.4%, from the June 30, 2008 total. During the period, the

Corporation originated $34.1 million of loans, which were substantially offset

by principal repayments of $31.5 million. During the six-month period ended

December 31, 2008, loan originations were comprised of $21.5 million of one- to

four-family residential real estate loans, $9.6 million of nonresidential real

estate loans, $1.6 million of consumer loans, $1.1 million of commercial loans,

and $400,000 of multifamily real estate loans. Nonresidential real estate and

commercial lending have historically demonstrated a higher degree of risk than

one- to four-family residential real estate lending due to the relatively

larger loan amounts and the effects of general economic conditions on the

successful operation of income-producing properties and businesses. The

Corporation endeavors to reduce this risk by evaluating the credit history and

past performance of the borrower, the location of the real estate, the quality

of the management operating the property or business, the debt service ratio,

the quality and characteristics of the income stream generated by the property

or business and appraisals supporting the real estate or collateral valuation.

To further reduce risk, First Federal has not and does not originate sub-prime

real estate loans.



Shareholders' equity totaled $17.9 million at December 31, 2008, a decrease of

$307,000, or 1.7%, over June 30, 2008. The decrease was due primarily the

purchase of 65,833 treasury shares for $794,000 and dividends paid of $359,000,

which were partially offset by period net earnings of $613,000, a decrease in

the unrealized loss on securities designated as available for sale of $87,000,

the return of previously paid RRP dividends of $65,000 to retained earnings,

and $45,000 from the exercise of stock options. At December 31, 2008, the

Bank's regulatory capital exceeded the requirements to be considered "well

capitalized."



Total interest income decreased by $696,000, or 11.5%, to $5.4 million for the

six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007.

Interest income on loans decreased by $677,000, or 11.6%, due to a 94 basis

point decrease in yield, which was partially offset by an increase of $1.7

million, or 1.1%, in the average loan portfolio balance outstanding. Interest

income on investment securities, interest-bearing deposits and other decreased

by $16,000, or 6.5%, to a total of $231,000 for the six months ended December

31, 2008, despite a $2.8 million, or 27.8%, increase in the average balance

outstanding, which was more than offset by a 127 basis point decrease in yield.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $3,000, or 25.0%,

due to a decrease of $37,000, or 10.4%, in the average balance outstanding and

a 106 basis point decrease in yield.



General, administrative and other expense totaled $2.4 million for the six

months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $160,000, or 7.0%, compared to

the same period in 2007. The increase in general, administrative and other

expense includes increases of $75,000, or 7.5%, in employee compensation and

benefits, $79,000, or 23.5%, in other operating expense, $30,000, or 38.0%, in

professional and consulting fees, and $11,000, or 6.6%, in data processing,

which were partially offset by decreases of $20,000, or 22.0%, in advertising,

$6,000, or 2.6%, in occupancy and equipment expense, $5,000, or 6.8%, in ATM

processing and $3,000, or 2.6%, in checking account maintenance expense. The

increase in employee compensation was due to normal merit increases and

additional staffing. A portion of the increase in other operating expense was a

$49,000 increase in FDIC insurance premiums. This increase was the result of

generally increased FDIC premiums and exhausting in the fourth quarter of

fiscal 2008 the FDIC credit related to the FDIC Reform Act of 2005.



Total interest income decreased by $350,000, or 11.7%, to $2.7 million for the

three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007.

income on investment securities, interest-bearing deposits and other decreased

by $24,000, or 18.8%, to a total of $104,000 for the three months ended

partially offset by a $2.5 million, or 24.5%, increase in the average balance

outstanding. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $2,000,

professional and consulting fees, $15,000, or 15.2%, in occupancy and equipment

decreases of $15,000, or 35.7%, in postage and stationary supplies, $8,000, or

17.8%, in advertising and $4,000, or 6.5%, in checking account maintenance

expense. The increase in employee compensation was due to normal merit

the result of generally increased FDIC premiums and exhausting in the fourth

quarter of fiscal 2008 the FDIC credit related to the FDIC Reform Act of 2005.
