Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present the 2008 Annual Report for Kentucky First Federal Bancorp. We encourage you to read both the Annual Report and Proxy Statement. We strongly encourage you to vote and, if possible, to attend our annual meeting on November 11.
The Boards, Officers, and Employees of the Company and its subsidiary banks continue to be very pleased with our arrangement under Kentucky First Federal. We believe that we have continued to demonstrate to our communities that our primary focus continues to be meeting the financial needs of our hometowns.
The financial industry remains in a state of turmoil. Asset quality concerns have impacted the earnings of many banks both large and small. Stock prices in the industry generally reflect these tumultuous times. Most financial stocks have seen severe reductions in their prices. While we are certainly concerned about the lack of appreciation in the price of Kentucky First Federal Bancorp stock, we are pleased to have avoided the precipitous declines that so many of our fellow banks have suffered in recent months. We believe this is the result of our high capital levels at both banks and the overall strong asset quality.
We are also pleased to report a moderate increase in our net income at a time when many of our peers are reporting lower and in many cases negative earnings.
There are still many dangers in the real estate market as our communities struggle with record levels of foreclosures and the diminished availability of certain types of loans, but management remains optimistic that Kentucky First Federal’s high asset quality will persist. We remain pleased that the Bauer Financial Rating Service continues to award both First Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Frankfort their highest ranking of five stars.
We had surmised that the problems in the mortgage industry would solidify the positions of our banks in their markets as market leaders in lending. We believe this has occurred, thus allowing the Company
to increase our loans receivable by nearly $16 million or 9.5% during the year. Community banks that possess ample capital and have demonstrated an ability to make sound loans, such as First Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Frankfort, will be vitally important to the recovery of our nation’s real estate market and our overall economy.
As always, we encourage you, our shareholders to visit our banks for your banking needs, and we are always glad to talk to you any time you have a question or concern.
Sincerely,
Tony Whitaker Don D. Jennings
Chairman and C.E.O. President and C.O.O.

General
The Company was incorporated as a mid-tier holding company under the laws
of the
Also on March 2, 2005, Kentucky
First completed its acquisition of Frankfort First and its wholly owned
subsidiary, First Federal of Frankfort (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the agreement of merger,
shareholders of Frankfort First Bancorp received approximately 1,740,554 shares
of Kentucky First’s common stock and approximately $13.7 million in cash. Following the Reorganization and Merger, the
Company retained and holds all the capital stock of Frankfort First which holds
all of the capital stock of First Federal of Frankfort. The Company also holds all the capital stock
of First Federal of Hazard. First
Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Frankfort are operated as two
independent savings institutions with separate charters. Each bank retains its own management and
boards of directors. The members of
management of Kentucky First also serve in a management capacity at one of the
two subsidiary Banks, and the directors of Kentucky First also serve on the
board of one of the two subsidiary Banks.
Our results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on our loans and securities and our cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by the provision for losses on loans and service charges and fees collected on our deposit accounts. Our general, administrative and other expense primarily consists of employee compensation and benefits expense, occupancy and equipment expense, data processing expense, other operating expenses and state franchise and federal income taxes. Results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
Income. We have two primary sources of pre-tax income. The first is net interest income, which is the difference between interest income, the income that we earn on our loans and investments, and interest expense, the interest that we pay on our deposits and borrowings.
To a much lesser extent, we also recognize pre-tax income from fee and service charges, which is the compensation we receive from providing financial products and services, and sales of investment securities.
Expenses. The expenses we incur in operating our business consist of compensation, taxes and benefits, office occupancy, data processing fees, taxes and other expenses.
Compensation, taxes and benefits consist primarily of the salaries and wages paid to our employees and directors, payroll taxes and expenses for retirement and other employee benefits.
Office occupancy expenses, which are the fixed and variable costs of buildings and equipment, consist primarily of taxes, depreciation charges, maintenance and costs of utilities.
Data processing fees primarily includes fees paid to our third-party data processing providers.
Taxes
consist of the current and deferred portion of federal income taxes as well as
franchise taxes paid to the
Other expenses include expenses for attorneys, accountants and consultants, advertising, telephone, employee training and education, charitable contributions, insurance, office supplies, postage and other miscellaneous operating activities.
Critical Accounting Policies
We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and we consider the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy. The allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary to cover probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for losses on loans which is charged against income.
The management and the Boards of the Company and of First Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Frankfort review the allowance for loan losses on a periodic basis. Consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews, volume and mix of the loan portfolio and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to change. Management considers the economic climate in the Banks’ respective lending areas to be among the factors most likely to have an impact on the level of the required allowance for loan losses. However, in view of the fact that the local economies are diverse, without significant dependence on a single industry or employer, the economic climate is considered to be stable at June 30, 2008.
Nevertheless, management continues to monitor and evaluate factors which could have an impact on the required level of the allowance. Management watches for national issues that may negatively affect a significant percentage of homeowners in the Banks’ lending areas. These may include significant increases in unemployment or significant depreciation in home prices. Management reviews employment statistics periodically when determining the allowance for loan losses and generally finds the unemployment rates in both lending areas to be acceptable in relation to historical trends. Given the aforementioned indicators of economic stability at June 30, 2008, management does not foresee in the near term, any significant increases in the required allowance for loan losses related to economic factors. Finally, management has no current plans to alter the type of lending or collateral currently offered, but if such plans change or market conditions result in large concentrations of certain types of loans, such as commercial real estate or high loan-to-value ratio residential loans, management would respond with an increase in the overall allowance for loan losses.
The analysis has two components, specific and general allocations. Specific allocations are made for loans that are determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. The general allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan, risk weighting (if applicable) and payment history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general reserve. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowances we have established and, if so, this could have a material negative effect on our financial results.
Our Operating
Strategy
Our mission is to operate and grow profitable, community-oriented financial institutions serving primarily retail customers in our market areas. We plan to pursue a strategy of:
• operating two community-oriented savings institutions, First Federal of Hazard, which serves customers in Perry and surrounding counties in eastern Kentucky, and First Federal of Frankfort, which serves customers primarily in Franklin County and surrounding counties in central Kentucky. Each Bank emphasizes traditional thrift activities of accepting deposits and originating residential mortgage loans for portfolio;
•
increasing the
yield on First Federal of Hazard’s assets by decreasing its reliance on low
yielding government securities and reinvesting these assets into whole loans
originated by First Federal of Frankfort, with First Federal of Frankfort
retaining servicing on any loans sold.
The Banks have begun such sales and through June 30, 2008, First Federal
of Hazard had purchased approximately $44.1 million in loans from First Federal
of Frankfort;
•
pursuing larger
borrowing relationships than would otherwise be available to our separate banks
(because of federal restrictions on loans to one borrower) by utilizing the
ability to sell loans and participations between the banks;
•
continuing our
historic heavy reliance on our deposit base to fund our lending and investment
activities and to supplement deposits with Federal Home Loan Bank of
• gradually pursuing opportunities to increase and diversify lending in our market areas;
• applying conservative underwriting practices to maintain the high quality of our loan portfolios;
• managing our net interest margin and interest rate risk; and
• entertaining possibilities of expansion into other markets through branching or acquisition, if such possibilities are beneficial to the Company’s shareholders, provide a good fit within the Company’s mutual holding company framework and can be accomplished without undue encumbrance of the Company’s other operational areas.
Market Risk
Analysis
Qualitative
Aspects of Market Risk. Our most
significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. We manage the interest rate sensitivity of
our interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets in an effort to
minimize the adverse effects of changes in the interest rate environment. Deposit accounts typically react more quickly
to changes in market interest rates than mortgage loans because of the shorter
maturities of deposits. As a result,
sharp increases in interest rates may adversely affect our earnings while
decreases in interest rates may beneficially affect our earnings. To reduce the potential volatility of our
earnings, we have sought to improve the match between asset and liability
maturities (or rate adjustment periods), while maintaining an acceptable
interest rate spread and by maintaining a high level of liquidity. Still,
when market rates increase rapidly, increases in the cost of deposits and
borrowings outpace the increases in the return on assets. The Company’s assets are primarily comprised
of adjustable rate mortgages (all of which have some contractual limits in
their ability to react to market changes) and short-term securities. Those assets will, over time, re-price to
counteract the increased costs of deposits and borrowings.
Asset/Liability Management. Management and the boards of the subsidiary Banks are responsible for the asset/liability management issues that affect the individual Banks. Either bank may work with its sister bank to mitigate potential asset/liability risks to the Banks and to the Company as a whole. Interest rate risk is monitored using the Office of Thrift Supervision Net Portfolio Value (“NPV”). NPV represents the fair value of portfolio equity and is equal to the fair value of assets minus the fair value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance sheet items. Management monitors and considers methods of managing the rate sensitivity and repricing characteristics of balance sheet components in an effort to maintain acceptable levels of change in NPV in the event of changes in prevailing market interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity analysis is used to measure our interest rate risk by computing estimated changes in NPV that are a result of changes in the net present value of its cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items. These changes in cash flow are estimated based on hypothetical instantaneous and permanent increases and decreases in market interest rates.
As part of our interest rate risk policy, the Boards of Directors of the subsidiary Banks establish maximum decreases in NPV given these assumed instantaneous changes in interest rates. Our exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on a quarterly basis by the Boards of Directors. If estimated changes to NPV would cause either bank to fall below the “well-capitalized” level, the Board will direct management to adjust its asset and liability mix to bring interest rate risk to a level which reflects the Board’s goals.
The following table sets forth the interest rate sensitivity of our NPV as of June 30, 2008 in the event of instantaneous and permanent increases and decreases in market interest rates, respectively. Due to the abnormally low prevailing interest rate environment at June 30, 2008 and 2007, NPV estimates are not made for decreases in interest rates greater than 100 basis points and 200 basis points, respectively. All market risk-sensitive instruments presented in this table at June 30, 2008, are held to maturity or available-for-sale. We have no trading securities.

_______________
(1) Net portfolio value
represents the discounted present value of the difference between incoming cash
flows on interest-earning and other assets and outgoing cash flows on
interest-bearing liabilities.
(2) Present value of assets represents
the discounted present value of incoming cash flows on interest-earning assets.
(3) NPV Ratio
represents the net portfolio value divided by the present value of assets.
The preceding tables indicate that at June 30, 2008 and 2007, in the event of a sudden and sustained increase in prevailing market interest rates, our NPV would be expected to decrease, and that in the event of a sudden and sustained decrease in prevailing interest rates, our NPV would be expected to increase. The projected decreases in NPV in the event of sudden and sustained increases in prevailing interest rates are within the parameters established by each subsidiary Bank’s Board of Directors. At all levels represented in the table, the Banks’ NPVs after the rate increase or decrease would be above the “well-capitalized” level based on the current level of assets.
NPV is calculated by the Office of Thrift Supervision using information provided by the Company. The calculation is based on the net present value of discounted cash flows utilizing market prepayment assumptions and market rates of interest. Computations or prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments, and deposit run-offs. These computations should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions the Banks may undertake in response to changes in interest rates. Certain shortcomings are inherent in this method of computing NPV. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in differing degrees to changes in market interest rates. 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.
Statement
of Financial Condition
General. At June 30, 2008, total assets were $247.7 million,
a decrease of $21.3 million, or 7.9%, from the $268.9 million total at
June 30, 2007. The decrease in
total assets was comprised primarily of a decrease in investment securities and was offset by an increase in loans
receivable. At June 30, 2008, total
liabilities were $187.9 million, a decrease of $19.6 million, or 9.4% from the
$207.5 million total at June 30, 2007.
The decrease in total liabilities was comprised primarily of a decrease
in FHLB Advances and to a lesser extent by a decrease in deposits.
Loans. Our primary lending activity is the origination of loans for the purchase, refinance or construction of one- to four-family residential real estate located in our market areas. As opportunities arise, we also originate church loans, commercial real estate loans, and multi-family and nonresidential real estate loans. At June 30, 2008, one- to four- family residential real estate loans totaled $158.0 million, or 86.1% of total loans, compared to $146.6 million, or 86.7% of total loans, at June 30, 2007. Construction real estate loans totaled $3.5 million, or 1.9% of total loans, at June 30, 2008, compared to $6.7 million, or 3.9% of total loans at June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2008, multi-family real estate loans totaled $2.7 million or 1.5% of total loans, compared to $1.5 million or 0.9% of total loans at June 30, 2007, and nonresidential real estate and other loans totaled $11.3 million, or 6.2% of total loans at June 30, 2008, compared to $6.9 million, or 4.1% of total loans, at June 30, 2007. We also originate home equity lines of credit and loans secured by deposit accounts, which totaled $7.9 million, or 4.3% of total loans at June 30, 2008, compared to home equity lines of credit and loans secured by deposit accounts of $7.5 million or 4.4% of total loans at June 30, 2007.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Asset Quality. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for the probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. We evaluate the allowance for loan losses no less than quarterly. When additional allowances are needed a provision for losses on loans is charged against earnings. The recommendations for increases or decreases to the allowance are presented by management to the Banks’ boards of directors. The Company’s board of directors oversees the overall allowance level for the Company and may propose increases or decreases for allowance levels at the banks.
The allowance for loan losses is established to recognize the probable incurred losses associated with lending activities. Loss and risk factors are based on our historical loss experience and industry averages and are adjusted for significant factors that in management’s judgment affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. These significant factors may include changes in lending policies and procedures, changes in existing general economic and business conditions affecting our primary lending area, credit quality trends, collateral value, loan volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, recent loss experience, duration of the current business cycle and bank regulatory examination results.
At June 30, 2008, the allowance for loans losses totaled $666,000, or 0.36% of total loans, compared to $720,000, or 0.43% of total loans at June 30, 2007. Nonperforming loans, which consist of all loans 90 days or more past due, totaled $1.3 million at June 30, 2008 and $968,000 at June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2008, all of these loans consisted of loans secured by single-family residences. The allowance for loans losses totaled 52.2% and 74.4% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In determining the allowance for loan losses at any point in time, management and the boards of directors of the subsidiary Banks apply a systematic process focusing on the risk of loss in the portfolio. First, the loan portfolio is segregated by loan types to be evaluated collectively and loan types to be evaluated individually. Delinquent multi-family and nonresidential loans are evaluated individually for potential impairment. Second, the allowance for loan losses is evaluated using historic loss experience adjusted for significant factors by applying these loss percentages to the loan types to be evaluated collectively in the portfolio. To the best of management’s knowledge, all known and probable incurred losses that can be reasonably estimated have been recorded at June 30, 2008. Although management believes that its allowance for loan losses conforms with generally accepted accounting principles based upon the available facts and circumstances, there can be no assurance that additions to the allowance will not be necessary in future periods, which would adversely affect our results of operations.
Our banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. The examinations may require us to make additional provisions for loan losses based on judgments different from ours. In addition, because further events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that increases will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed above. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Summary of Loan Loss Experience. The following table sets forth an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated. Where specific loan loss allowances have been established, any difference between the loss allowance and the amount of loss realized has been charged or credited to the allowance.

Nonperforming and Classified Assets. When a loan becomes 90 days delinquent,
the loan may be placed on nonaccrual status at which time the accrual of
interest ceases, the interest previously accrued to income is reversed and
interest income is thereafter recognized on a cash basis. Payments on a nonaccrual loan are applied to
the outstanding principal and interest as determined at the time of collection
of the loan. In situations where
management believes collection of interest due is likely even if the loan is
more than 90 days delinquent, then management may decide not to place the loan
on non-accrual status.
We consider repossessed assets and loans that are 90 days or more past due to be nonperforming assets. Real estate that we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until it is sold. When property is acquired it is recorded at the lower of its cost, which is the unpaid balance of the loan, or fair market value at the date of foreclosure. Holding costs and declines in fair value after acquisition of the property are charged against income.
Under current accounting guidelines, a loan is defined as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. We consider one- to four-family mortgage loans and deposit loans to be homogeneous and collectively evaluate them for impairment. Other loans are evaluated for impairment on an individual basis. At June 30, 2008, no loans were considered impaired.
The following table provides information with respect to our
nonperforming assets at the dates indicated.
We did not have any troubled debt restructurings at any of the dates
presented.

Other than disclosed above, there are no other loans at June 30, 2008 that we have serious doubts about the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms.
Interest income that would have been recorded for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, had nonaccrual loans been current according to their original terms amounted to $33,000, $85,000 and $82,000, respectively. Income related to nonaccrual loans included in interest income for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $124,000, $74,000 and $74,000, respectively.
Federal regulations require us to regularly review and classify our assets. In addition, our regulators have the authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, require them to be classified. There are three classifications for problem assets: substandard, doubtful and loss. “Substandard assets” must have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. “Doubtful assets” have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. An asset classified “loss” is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. The regulations also provide for a “special mention” category, described as 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. Special mention assets totaled $628,000 and $890,000 at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The following table shows the aggregate amounts of our assets classified for regulatory purposes at the dates indicated.

Substandard assets at
June 30, 2008, consisted of 36 loans totaling $2.0 million and three
parcels of real estate owned with an aggregate carrying value of $21,000. All substandard loans were secured by
single-family residences on which the banks have priority lien position, with
the exception of one loan that is secured by a property on which there are two
single-family residences. The average
balance of substandard loans is $56,000 with a total of five loans in excess of
$100,000. The largest substandard loan

Securities. Our securities portfolio consists primarily
of U.S. Government agency obligations as well as mortgage-backed securities
with maturities of 30 years or less.
Investment and mortgage-backed securities totaled $22.4 million at
June 30, 2008, a decrease of $50.5 million, or 69.2%, compared to the $72.9 million
total at June 30, 2007. The reduction in
these securities resulted from maturities, calls and prepayments of investments
and mortgage-backed securities. All of
our mortgage-backed securities were issued by
Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
The following table
sets forth the carrying values and fair values of our securities portfolio at

Other Assets. Other assets at June 30, 2008 include
goodwill and other intangible assets of $15.0 million, which was a sole result
of the Company’s acquisition of Frankfort First and bank owned life insurance
policies with a carrying value of $2.3
million at both June 30, 2008 and 2007, of which First Federal of Frankfort is
the owner and beneficiary. Previously,
the Company had no such policies. Both
subsidiary Banks are members and stockholders of the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Deposits. Our primary source of funds is retail deposit accounts held primarily by individuals within our market areas. Deposits totaled $137.6 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $2.3 million or 1.6%, compared to the $139.9 million total at June 30, 2007. Although management generally strives to maintain a moderate rate of growth in deposits, primarily through marketing and pricing strategies, market conditions and competition may curtail growth opportunities. Rather than striving to offer the highest interest rate on deposit products in our market area, management of the Banks offer deposit products that fit the Banks’ funding strategies.

Shareholders’
Equity. Shareholders’ equity totaled
$59.8 million at June 30, 2008, a $1.7 million or 2.7%, decrease compared to
June 30, 2007. The reduction
resulted primarily from repurchases of the Company’s common stock.
The
Banks are required to maintain minimum regulatory capital pursuant to federal
regulations. At June 30, 2008, both
First Federal of Hazard’s and First Federal of
Results of Operations for the Years Ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007
General. Net earnings totaled $932,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $47,000, or 5.3%, from the net earnings recorded for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The increase was due primarily to a $30,000 increase in net interest income.
Interest Income. Total interest income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 totaled $13.1 million, an increase of $139,000, or 1.1%, compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The increase in interest income is due primarily to an increase in interest income on loans, which increased by $753,000, or 7.7%, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, compared to fiscal 2007. Interest income from investments, including mortgage-backed securities, interest-bearing deposits and other, decreased $614,000 or 19.5% from $3.1 million for the 2007 fiscal year to $2.5 million for fiscal 2008.
The increase in interest income from loans was attributable primarily to a $12.2 million, or 7.6%, increase in the average balance of loans outstanding and was partially supported by an increase of 1 basis point in the average yield on loans to 6.06% for fiscal 2008. The interest income on investments, including mortgage-backed securities, decreased primarily due to a $14.2 million decrease in the average balance outstanding. Average balances of mortgage-backed securities and investment securities assets decreased by $2.4 million or 13.3% and $16.1 million or 28.4%, respectively, year to year, while the average balance of other interest-earning assets increased by $4.3 million or 65.3%, as a result of maturities and/or calls of a large portion of the Company’s investment portfolio during the year. The average rates earned on mortgage-backed securities and investment securities decreased only 1 and 2 basis points, respectively, while the average rate earned on other interest-earning assets decreased 172 basis points year to year.
Interest Expense. Interest expense totaled $7.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $109,000, or 1.5%, from interest expense of $7.5 million for fiscal 2007. The increase in interest expense resulted primarily from increased costs associated with deposits, which increased $323,000 or 7.1% from year to year. Increased cost on deposits is attributable to both an increase in rate paid and a shift in the deposit composition. The average rate paid on deposits increased 24 basis points to 3.52% for the year just ended, while the average deposits outstanding declined $172,000 or 0.1% from year to year. However, deposit composition changed significantly as the average balance of certificates of deposits increased $3.8 million or 4.1% from year to year while other deposit categories saw average balances decline $3.9 million or 8.5% year to year. The interest rates paid on certificates of deposits are usually higher than rates paid on other deposit products. Interest expense on borrowings totaled $2.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $214,000 or 7.4% compared to fiscal 2007. Average borrowings decreased by only $9,000 remaining at $61.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2008, while the average rate paid on borrowings decreased 34 basis points to 4.37% for fiscal 2008.
Net Interest Income. As a result of the aforementioned changes in interest income and interest expense, net interest income increased by $30,000, or 0.5%, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, compared to fiscal 2007. The average interest rate spread increased from 1.54% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 to 1.65% for fiscal 2008. The net interest margin increased to 2.29% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 from 2.20% for fiscal 2007.
Average Balances and Yields. The following table presents information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends, the total dollar amount of interest expense and the resulting average yields and costs. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. For purposes of this table, average balances have been calculated using the average of daily balances and nonaccrual loans are included in average balances only. We did not hold any non-taxable investment securities during any of the periods presented in the table.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume. The net column represents the sum of the prior columns.

Provision for Losses on Loans. A provision for losses on loans is charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level calculated by management based on historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Banks, the status of past due principal and interest payments and other factors related to the collectibility of the loan portfolio. Based upon an analysis of these factors, management recorded a provision of $12,000 for losses on loans for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $12,000 compared to no provision for fiscal 2007. The provision recorded during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 generally reflects management’s perception of the risk prevalent in the economy integrated with the overall change in the level of nonperforming loans year over year. Management believes all nonperforming loans are adequately collateralized; however, there can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance will be adequate to absorb losses on known nonperforming assets or that the allowance will be adequate to cover losses on nonperforming assets in the future.
Other Income.
Other
operating income increased $8,000, to $182,000 for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2008, due primarily to a $13,000 or 130% increase in gain on sale of loans. Other operating income is generally
comprised of service charges and fees charged on loan and deposit accounts.
General, Administrative and
Other Expense. General,
administrative and other expense decreased $43,000 or 1.0% to $4.3 million for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 compared to fiscal 2007. The decrease in general, administrative and
other expense is primarily attributed to a decrease in employee compensation
and benefits, which decreased $43,000 or 1.5% to $2.9 million for the year just
ended.
The decrease in employee compensation and
benefits is attributed primarily to a decrease in health insurance benefits and
share-based compensation year to year. Health
insurance benefits declined $29,000 or 17.1% to $141,000 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2008, primarily as a result of realignment of employee share of
costs. In addition, share-based
compensation decreased $14,000 or 3.6% to $376,000 for the 2008 fiscal year
compared to $390,000 for the prior fiscal year.
Fiscal 2007 was the first full year in which the share-based
compensation plans were in force.
Federal Income Taxes. The provision for
federal income tax increased $22,000 or 5.3% from $417,000 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2008 to $439,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, as a
result of higher earnings before income taxes by $69,000, or 5.3%. The effective tax rate for each of the years
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 32.0%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future short-term financial obligations. Our primary sources of funds consist of cash and deposits at other banks, deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities, calls and sales of investment and mortgage-backed securities and advances from the FHLB. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
We periodically assess our available liquidity and projected upcoming liquidity demands. We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits, federal funds and short- and intermediate-term U.S. Government agency obligations.
Our most liquid assets are cash, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, cash and cash equivalents totaled $16.0 million and $2.7 million respectively. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $5.5 million and $13.3 million at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At June 30, 2008, we had the ability to borrow a total $104.3 million from the FHLB, of which $46.8 million (before premium) was outstanding.
We are not aware of any trends and/or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that could result in a material protracted decrease in liquidity. We expect that all of our liquidity needs, including the contractual commitments set forth in the table below can be met by our currently available liquid assets and cash flows. In the event any unforeseen demand or commitments were to occur, we would access our borrowing capacity with the FHLB. We expect that our currently available liquid assets and our ability to borrow from the FHLB would be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity needs without any material adverse effect on our liquidity.
Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities. In fiscal 2008, we originated $54.1 million of loans. In fiscal 2007, we originated $38.4 million of loans. In fiscal 2006, we originated $34.2 million of loans. During fiscal 2008, these activities were funded primarily by proceeds from the principal repayments on loans of $38.1 million and maturities of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities of $50.9 million. During fiscal 2007, these activities were funded primarily by proceeds from the principal repayments on loans of $27.4 million and maturities of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities of $4.8 million.
Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts and in FHLB advances. We experienced a net decrease in total deposits of $2.3 million, $1.3 million and $13.8 million for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors. While we generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive and to increase core deposit relationships, during fiscal 2008, management chose to allow the deposit base to reprice to lower overall levels over attracting new deposits. The net decrease in FHLB advances totaled $17.3 million, as we repaid short-term funds with additional liquidity available to us.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations
At June 30, 2008, we had $946,000 in mortgage commitments. Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2008 totaled $67.4 million, or 49.0% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we might be required to seek other sources of funds, including FHLB advances or other certificates of deposit. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before June 30, 2009. We believe, however, based on past experience, that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
The following table sets forth our contractual obligations and loan commitments as of June 30, 2008.

(1) Net of premium on FHLB borrowings
For the year ended June 30,
2008, other than loan commitments, we engaged in no off-balance-sheet
transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Impact of Inflation and Changing
Prices
Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on our performance than do general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.
