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 all types of retail and commercial real estate loans, the majority of its residential real estate loans have been purchased from other financial institutions.

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 (“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 a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods included herein have been made.

The results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 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, 2008. 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 2007 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.

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, the valuation of financial instruments, and mortgage-loan prepayment assumptions used to determine the effective interest amortization of loan purchase premiums and discounts.

Newly Issued Accounting Standards:

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes:  an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) Statement No. 109.”  This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  Under FIN 48, an income tax position will be recognized if it is more likely than not that it will be sustained upon IRS examination, based upon its technical merits. Once that status is met, the amount recorded will be the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective as of the beginning of fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2006.

 
5

 


We adopted FIN 48 effective July 1, 2007. There was no cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 and there was no material effect on our provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008.  The adoption of FIN 48 had no material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.


Note 2 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options and stock awards.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Information

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. In addition, in portions of this document the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “should” and similar expressions or the negative thereof, as they relate to the Company or the Bank or their management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views of the Company and/or the Bank with respect to forward-looking events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. 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 as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. The Company does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2007.

Assets: Cash and cash equivalents increased $49.7 million, or 185.6% to $76.4 million at March 31, 2008 from $26.7 million at June 30, 2007. The increase related to federal funds sold, which increased $53.5 million to $69.3 million at March 31, 2008 from $15.8 million at June 30, 2007 offset by a $3.9 million decrease in cash and due from banks to $7.1 million at March 31, 2008 from $11.0 million at June 30, 2007. The increase in federal funds sold was primarily due to an increase in borrowings to fund multifamily and commercial real estate loan growth and seasonal deposit outflows which have begun to reverse.

Our investment portfolio decreased $15.4 million, or 44.4% to $19.3 million at March 31, 2008 from $34.7 million at June 30, 2007. The decrease was attributable to maturities and normal repayments of principal on our mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.

Our gross loan portfolio increased $30.8 million, or 4.4% to $732.8 million at March 31, 2008 from $702.0 million at June 30, 2007. The increase was primarily due to the bank’s focus on multifamily and commercial real estate loans as a means of diversifying the mortgage portfolio. One-to four-family real estate loans decreased $30.2 million, or 6.4% to $439.3 million at March 31, 2008 from $469.5 million at June 30, 2007.  Commercial real estate loans increased $23.7 million, or 30.4% to $101.5 million at March 31, 2008 from $77.8 million at June 30, 2007.  Multifamily loans increased $30.7 million, or 34.9% to $118.8 million at March 31, 2008 from $88.1 million at June 30, 2007.  Other loans which are comprised primarily of automobile loans increased $6.5 million, or 9.8% to $73.1 million at March 31, 2008 from $66.6 million at June 30, 2007. Real estate loans comprised 90.0% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 2008, compared with 90.5% at June 30, 2007.

Deposits: Total deposits increased $2.3 million, or 0.5% to $496.4 million at March 31, 2008 from $494.1 million at June 30, 2007. The increase was primarily due to growth in money market products as a result of the Company’s promotional rates program.

Borrowings: Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco increased $35.0 million, or 16.7% to $245.0 million at March 31, 2008 from $210.0 million at June 30, 2007.  We interchange the use of deposits and borrowings to fund assets, such as the origination and purchase of loans, depending on various factors including liquidity and asset/liability management strategies. Other borrowings are comprised of $25.0 million in deposits from the State of California through the state’s time deposit program in exchange for pledging certain investment securities and mortgage loans as collateral.

Stockholders’ Equity: Stockholders’ equity increased $1.2 million to $93.5 million at March 31, 2008 from $92.3 million at June 30, 2007 primarily as a result of $2.7 million in net income earned for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, an unrealized gain on securities of $223,000 net of tax and the allocation of ESOP shares, stock awards, and stock options earned totaling $976,000. This increase was offset by cash payments of $1.5 million in dividends to stockholders of record, excluding shares held by K-Fed Mutual Holding Company, of $0.31 per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007.

General. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $1.3 million, an increase of $212,000, or 19.0%, compared to net income of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Earnings per basic and diluted common share were $0.10 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $0.08 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in net income was primarily the result of an increased net interest margin resulting from a higher yielding loan portfolio.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $1.1 million or 10.7%, to $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The primary factor for the increase in interest income was an increase in the average loans receivable balance of $68.2 million or 10.2%, from $670.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $738.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Interest income was also positively impacted by a 19 basis point increase in the average yield on loans receivable from 5.74% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 5.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The increase in the average yield on loans receivable was primarily attributable to the addition of higher-yielding multifamily and non-residential real estate loans to the Bank’s portfolio.

Interest income on securities decreased by $100,000 or 30.9%, to $224,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $324,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was attributable to a $13.4 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities from $33.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease was attributable to maturities and normal repayments of principal on our mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.

Other interest income decreased by $126,000 or 32.0% to $268,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $394,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a 250 basis point decrease in the average yield earned on Federal funds sold from 5.16% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 2.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease in the average yield on Federal funds sold was primarily attributable to declines in the Federal funds rate during the comparable periods as a result of actions taken by the Federal Reserve in lowering the federal funds rate.

Interest Expense . Interest expense increased $561,000 or 9.4% to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of FHLB advances and other borrowings. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $62.3 million or 9.8% to $698.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $636.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Net Interest Income .  Net income before provision for loan losses increased $557,000 or 12.3%, to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007.  The increase was attributable to an increase in the net interest margin as a result of higher yielding multifamily and non-residential loans.  The net interest margin increased 7 basis points to 2.51% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 2.44% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
 
Provision 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 analysis by type of loan and specific allowances for identified problem loans, including the results of measuring impaired loans as provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” and SFAS No. 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan – Income Recognition and Disclosures.”  These 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 nonperforming 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 collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.
 
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 nonperforming 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 collectibility 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 homogenous 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 collectibility 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 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 Kaiser Federal Bank.

Our provision for loan losses was $200,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $116,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 0.42% at March 31, 2008 as compared to 0.44% at March 31, 2007.   The balance of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2008 and the related provision for the quarter then ended was impacted by a decrease in the amount of classified loans, increases in historical loss factors for consumer loans based on the recent charge-off activity and some adjustments to the real estate loan subjective factors based on current market conditions.  Our gross loan portfolio increased $59.5 million, or 8.8% to $732.8 million at March 31, 2008 from $673.3 million at March 31, 2007.  The assumptions are based both on current industry and economic trends in addition to our internal loan loss history.  We used the same methodology and generally similar assumptions in assessing the adequacy of the allowance for consumer and real estate loans for both periods.

Noninterest Income. Our noninterest income increased $39,000, or 3.6% to $1.13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1.09 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily the result of stock redemption proceeds related to the VISA IPO and an increase in referral commissions and customer service charges offset by declines in ATM fees and charges and higher losses attributable to our investment in a California Affordable Housing Program Fund.

Noninterest Expense. Our noninterest expense increased $77,000, or 2.0% to $3.93 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $3.85 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to increases in general operational costs to support continued growth of the Bank.

Income Tax Expense . Income tax expense increased $223,000, or 41.1% to $766,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $543,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily the result of higher pre-tax income of $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The effective tax rate was 36.6% and 32.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The increase in effective tax rate was attributable to low income housing credits which have a smaller impact on our tax rate when our taxable income is higher.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007.

General. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was $2.7 million, a decrease of $848,000, or 23.7%, compared to net income of $3.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. Earnings per basic and diluted common share were $0.20 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $0.26 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The decline in net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2007 was primarily attributable to recognizing $1.3 million in stock offering costs in December 2007 resulting from the cancellation of the stock offering in connection with the proposed second step conversion of K-Fed Mutual Holding Company.  If the stock offering had been successful, these costs would have been deducted from the proceeds of the offering as required by GAAP instead of being expensed. The recognition of these expenses resulted in a decline of 5-cents-per-share in the Company’s diluted earnings per share numbers for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $3.4 million or 11.1%, to $33.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 from $30.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The primary factor for the increase in interest income was an increase in the average loans receivable balance of $68.1 million or 10.4%, from $652.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 to $720.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Interest income was also positively impacted by a 24 basis point increase in the average yield on loans receivable from 5.65% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 to 5.89% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.  The increase in the average yield on loans receivable was primarily attributable to the addition of higher-yielding multifamily and non-residential real estate loans to the Bank’s portfolio.

Interest income on securities decreased by $126,000 or 12.5%, to $882,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 from $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was attributable to an $8.0 million or 23.1% decrease in the average balance of investment securities from $34.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 to $26.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease was attributable to maturities and normal repayments of principal on our mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.

Other interest income decreased by $738,000 or 51.7% to $690,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 from $1.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average balance of federal funds sold of $5.4 million or 17.9%, from $30.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 to $24.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease in federal funds was attributable to increased loan growth during the comparable periods. Interest income was also negatively impacted by a 193 basis point decrease in the average yield earned on federal funds sold from 5.14% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 to 3.21% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease in the average yield on federal funds sold was primarily attributable to declines in the federal funds rate during the comparable periods as a result of actions taken by the Federal Reserve in lowering the federal funds rate.

Interest Expense . Interest expense increased $2.4 million, or 14.7% to $19.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $17.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of deposits and FHLB advances, combined with higher interest rate levels. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $54.0 million or 8.6% to $681.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 from $627.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007.  Interest expense was also negatively impacted by a 21 basis point increase in the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities to 3.81% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 from 3.60% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007.

Provision for Loan Losses . Our provision for loan losses was $551,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $419,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 0.42% at March 31, 2008 as compared to 0.44% at March 31, 2007. The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to an increase in multifamily and commercial real estate lending, which generally has a higher risk than traditional one-to four-family real estate lending.  Our gross loan portfolio increased $59.5 million, or 8.8% to $732.8 million at March 31, 2008 from $673.3 million at March 31, 2007.  The assumptions are based both on current industry and economic trends in addition to our internal loan loss history.  We used the same methodology and generally similar assumptions in assessing the adequacy of the allowance for consumer and real estate loans for both periods.

Noninterest Income. Our noninterest income decreased $33,000, or 1.0% to $3.21 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $3.18 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily the result of stock redemption proceeds related to the VISA IPO, an increase in fee and transaction income related to increased customer service charges and fees and referral commissions offset by an increase in losses attributable to our investment in a California Affordable Housing Program Fund.

Noninterest Expense. Our noninterest expense increased $2.0 million, or 18.9% to $12.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 from $10.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of $1.3 million in stock offering costs, a $311,000 increase in salaries and benefits, a $157,000 increased in occupancy and equipment, a $73,000 increase in professional services and a $217,000 increase in other operating expense.

 
Total salaries and benefit expense increased $311,000, or 5.4% to $6.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 from $5.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to annual salary increases and an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased $157,000, or 10.2% to $1.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 from $1.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily due to a general increase in operating lease rents and additional data processing costs.

Professional service expense increased $73,000, or 11.5% to $709,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 from $636,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in professional services was primarily due to increased legal costs stemming from the bankruptcy of U.S. Mortgage as discussed in Part II Item 1 — Legal Proceedings.

Other operating expense increased $217,000, or 19.3% to $1.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 from $1.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation imposing additional deposit insurance assessments effective January 1, 2007.

Income Tax Expense . Income tax expense decreased $410,000, or 22.0% to $1.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily the result of lower pre-tax income of $4.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $5.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The effective tax rate was 34.8% and 34.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.


Asset Quality

The asset quality of the Bank has remained strong and consistent over the past quarter. This has been accomplished by the strict adherence to its long standing disciplined credit culture that emphasizes the consistent application of underwriting standards to all loans. In this regard, the Bank fully underwrite 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.

 
13

 

The following underwriting guidelines 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 are 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. Should we grant a loan with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80%, we require private mortgage insurance in order to reduce our exposure below 80%.

Additionally, the Bank’s portfolio has remained strongly anchored in traditional mortgage products. In this regard, we do not originate, purchase or hold in portfolio teaser option-ARM loans, negatively amortizing loans or high LTV loans.

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.  Interest is not accrued on loans greater than 90 days or more delinquent. At each date presented, we had no troubled debt restructurings (loans for which a portion of interest or principal has been forgiven and loans modified at interest rates materially less than current market rates).
Foreclosed 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.

Liquidity 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 at levels above the minimum requirements imposed by Office of Thrift Supervision regulations and 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 and mortgage-backed and related securities, is a product of 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 Federal Home Loan Bank advances to leverage our capital base and provide funds for our lending and investment activities and 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. 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 time deposits and savings withdrawals, to fund loan commitments and to maintain our portfolio of mortgage-backed and related securities. At March 31, 2008, the total approved loan commitments unfunded amounted to $8.3 million, which includes the unadvanced portion of loans of $5.5 million.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2008, the Bank pledged certain investment securities and mortgage loans to obtain $25.0 million in deposits with the State of California through the state’s time deposit program.  Time deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2008, totaled $93.0 million and $38.0 million, respectively. Based on historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with Kaiser Federal Bank. We anticipate that we will continue to have sufficient funds, through deposits and borrowings, to meet our current commitments.

At March 31, 2008, we had available additional advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco in the amount of $83.0 million.  Kaiser Federal Bank’s credit limit with the Federal Home Loan Bank is limited to 40% of the Bank’s total assets.

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. We are unable to determine the extent, if any, to which properties securing our loans have appreciated in dollar value due to inflation.


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 loans generally have longer maturities than our 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 review, 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 market 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 market 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 quarterly.

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 and purchasing adjustable rate loans; (2) originating a reasonable volume of short- and intermediate-term consumer loans; (3) managing our deposits to establish stable deposit relationships; and (4) using Federal Home Loan Bank 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- 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. In the future, we intend to continue our existing strategy of originating and purchasing 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 Office of Thrift Supervision provides Kaiser Federal Bank with the information presented in the following table, which is based on information provided to the Office of Thrift Supervision by Kaiser Federal Bank. It presents the change in Kaiser Federal Bank’s net portfolio value at December 31, 2007 which is the latest information available that would occur upon an immediate change in interest rates based on Office of Thrift Supervision assumptions but without giving effect to any steps that management might take to counteract that change.

The Office of Thrift Supervision 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 market 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.

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In March 2007, U.S. Mortgage converted its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding to a Chapter 7 in the District Court of Nevada. U.S. Mortgage was responsible for servicing various commercial real estate participation loans totaling approximately $1.0 million that Kaiser Federal Bank purchased from the company. Through this transition period, all servicing functions of U.S. Mortgage are being handled by the Bankruptcy Trustee.

During the course of these proceedings, U.S. Bank has asserted a claim against $500,000 in loan principal being serviced by U.S. Mortgage on the basis that U.S. Bank has a priority right to the funds. Kaiser Federal Bank is vigorously contesting this claim and believes it has the priority ownership interest in these loans.


There have been no material changes to the risk factors that were previously disclosed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
