Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business: K-Fed Bancorp (or the “Company”) is a majority-owned subsidiary of K-Fed Mutual Holding Company (or the “Parent”). The Company and its Parent are holding companies that are federally chartered. The Company’s sole subsidiary, Kaiser Federal Bank (or the “Bank”), is a federally chartered savings association, which provides retail and commercial banking services to individuals and business customers from its nine branch locations throughout California. While the Bank originates many types of residential and commercial real estate loans, 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 of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and predominant practices followed by the financial services industry, and are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for (i) a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods included herein and (ii) to make such statements not misleading have been made.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 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, 2009. 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 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements presented in this quarterly report include the accounts of K-Fed Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kaiser Federal Bank. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. K-Fed Mutual Holding Company is owned by the depositors of the bank. These financial statements do not include the transactions and balances of K-Fed Mutual Holding Company.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of financial instruments.
Reclassifications: Some items in prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Newly Issued Accounting Standards:
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued three final Staff Positions (“FSP”s) intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurementsand impairments of securities. FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities.
FSP FAS 157-4 relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms what Statement 157 states is the objective of fair value measurement—to reflect how much an asset would be sold for in an orderly transaction (as opposed to a distressed or forced transaction) at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. Specifically, it reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive.
FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 relate to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet of companies at fair value. Prior to issuing this FSP, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed once a year. The FSP requires these disclosures on a quarterly basis, providing qualitative and quantitative information about fair value estimates for all those financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value.
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 on other-than-temporary impairments is intended to bring greater consistency to the timing of impairment recognition, and provide greater clarity to investors about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. The measure of impairment in comprehensive income remains fair value. The FSP also requires increased and more timely disclosures regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and an aging of securities with unrealized losses.
The FSPs are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and are not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141R, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R replaces the current standard on business combinations and will significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combinations in consolidated financial statements. This statement requires an entity to measure the business acquired at fair value and to recognize goodwill attributable to any noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) rather than just the portion attributable to the acquirer. The statement will also result in fewer exceptions to the principle of measuring assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at fair value. In addition, the statement will result in payments to third parties for consulting, legal, and similar services associated with an acquisition to be recognized as expenses when incurred rather than capitalized as part of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards:
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 was not material. See Note 3, “Fair Value” for disclosures related to the adoption of SFAS No. 157.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of July 1, 2008, the effective date of the standard.
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. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“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.

Note 3 – Fair Value
SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized in the following table:

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying amount of $5,995,000 at March 31, 2009 as compared to $3,842,000 at June 30, 2008. The fair value of collateral is calculated using a third party appraisal. The valuation allowance for these loans was $1,096,000 at March 31, 2009 as compared to $334,000 at June 30, 2008. An additional provision for loan losses of $147,000 and $762,000 was made for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 relating to impaired loans. (Level 3 inputs).

Balance, end of year | | $ | 4,303 | | | | | 3,057 | | | | $ | 4,303 | | | | | 3,057 | |
At March 31, 2009, non-accrual loans totaled $6.1 million, compared to $1.7 million at June 30, 2008. At March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, there were no loans past due more than 90 days and still accruing interest.
A loan is impaired when it is probable, based on current information and events, the Bank will be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. When we determine that a loss is probable, a valuation is established and included in the allowance for loan losses. The amount of impairment is determined by the difference between our recorded investment in the loan and estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral on collateral dependent loans.
At March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the Company had a gross investment in impaired loans of $6.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively. Impaired loans at March 31, 2009 included $4.1 million of loans for which valuation allowances of $1.1 million had been established and $1.9 million of loans for which no valuation allowances were established. At June 30, 2008, the Company had $3.0 million of impaired loans for which valuation allowances of $334,000 had been established and $885,000 of loans for which no valuation allowances were established. All valuation allowances are recorded as part of the total allowance for loan losses. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, the Company’s average investment in impaired loans was $5.8 and $5.3 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, the Company’s average investment in impaired loans was $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
Payments received on impaired loans are recorded as a reduction of principal or as interest income depending on management’s assessment of the ultimate collectability of the loan principal. Generally, interest income on an impaired loan is recorded on a cash basis when the outstanding principal is brought current. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009, income recorded on impaired loans totaled $18,000 and $52,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, income recorded on impaired loans totaled $8,000 and $32,000, respectively. Interest income recorded on impaired loans for all periods presented were recorded on a cash basis.
Note 5 – Employee Stock Compensation
During January 2009, our Board of Directors granted 187,500 stock options to employees and directors of the Company. These options were granted at an exercise price of $7.80 per share. The options become exercisable in equal installments over a five-year period beginning one year from the date of grant and the options expire ten years from the date of grant. As of March 31, 2009, the remaining vesting period is 4.8 years and the remaining contractual term is 9.8 years.
The fair value of each option is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes model that applies the following assumptions: volatility based on the historical volatility of our stock is 33.11%; the expected term of seven years represents the period of time the options are expected to be outstanding; the risk-free interest rate of 1.80% is the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the options granted; and dividend yield of 5.64% is calculated using the anticipated dividend payout rate over the life of the option. The fair value of options granted was $1.33 per share.
Compensation expense associated with these options was $8,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 and the unrecognized compensation cost as of March 31, 2009 was $241,000.

Recent Developments
Troubled Asset Relief Program-Capital Purchase Program. On October 3, 2008, Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), which provides the Secretary of the United States Treasury with broad authority to implement certain actions to help restore stability and liquidity to U.S. financial markets. One of the initiatives resulting from the Act is the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program, which provides direct equity investment of perpetual preferred stock by the Treasury in qualified financial institutions. The program is voluntary and requires an institution to comply with a number of restrictions and provisions. After careful consideration and given that the Bank is well capitalized and profitable with strong credit quality the Company elected not to apply for such funds.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) Coverage/Assessments. The EESA temporarily increased the limit on FDIC coverage for deposits to $250,000 from $100,000 through December 31, 2009. In addition, on October 14, 2008, the FDIC announced the creation of the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”) as part of a larger government effort to strengthen confidence and encourage liquidity in the nation’s banking system. All eligible institutions were automatically enrolled in the program through December 5, 2008 at no cost. Organizations that did not wish to participate in the TLGP needed to opt out by December 5, 2008. After that time, participating entities will be charged fees. One component of the TLGP provides full FDIC insurance coverage for non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts, regardless of dollar amount until December 31, 2009. An annualized 10 basis point assessment on balances in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts that exceed the existing deposit insurance limit of $250,000 will be assessed on a quarterly basis. The Company did not opt out and is participating in this component of the TLGP; however, as of March 31, 2009 the Company did not have any non-interest bearing transaction accounts in excess of $250,000.
The FDIC currently imposes an assessment against institutions for deposit insurance based on the risk category of the institution. Federal law requires that the designated reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund be establish by the FDIC at 1.15% to 1.50% of estimated insured deposits. Recent bank failures coupled with deteriorating economic conditions have significantly reduced the deposit insurance fund’s reserve ratio. As a result of the reduced reserve ratio, on December 22, 2008, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation published a final rule that raises the current deposit insurance assessment rates uniformly for all institutions by 7 basis points (to a range from 12 to 50 basis points) effective for the first quarter of 2009. On February 27, 2009, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation issued a final rule that would also alter the way the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation calculates federal deposit insurance assessment rates beginning in the second quarter of 2009 and thereafter.
Under the rule, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation would first establish an institution’s initial base assessment rate. This initial base assessment rate would range, depending on the risk category of the institution, from 12 to 45 basis points. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation would then adjust the initial base assessment (higher or lower) to obtain the total base assessment rate. The adjustments to the initial base assessment rate would be based
upon an institution’s levels of unsecured debt, secured liabilities, and brokered deposits. The total base assessment rate would range from 7 to 77.5 basis points of the institution’s deposits. Additionally, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation issued an interim final rule that would impose a special 20 basis points assessment on June 30, 2009, which would be collected on September 30, 2009. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has indicated that it would reduce the special assessment 10 basis point if Congress expands the FDIC’s borrowing authority. Future special assessments could also be assessed.
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) Stock Dividends. On January 8, 2009 and on April 10, 2009, the FHLB of San Francisco announced that it will not pay a quarterly dividend and will not repurchase excess capital stock on the next regularly scheduled repurchase date. FHLB dividends received by us for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 were $0 and $314,000, respectively.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008.
Assets. Cash and cash equivalents increased $18.5 million, or 36.0% to $69.7 million at March 31, 2009 from $51.2 million at June 30, 2008. We also invested $9.0 million in interest earning time deposits in other financial institutions during the period. The increase in cash and interest earning time deposits was a result of an overall increase in liquidity due to increased deposits during the period.
Our investment portfolio decreased $4.2 million, or 26.0% to $11.9 million at March 31, 2009 from $16.0 million at June 30, 2008. 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 by $10.7 million, or 1.4% to $756.1 million at March 31, 2009 from $745.4 million at June 30, 2008. One-to-four family real estate loans decreased $32.7 million, or 7.6% to $396.0 million at March 31, 2009 from $428.7 million at June 30, 2008. Commercial real estate loans increased $5.8 million, or 5.0% to $121.6 million at March 31, 2009 from $115.8 million at June 30, 2008. Multi-family loans increased $45.5 million, or 34.4% to $177.8 million at March 31, 2009 from $132.3 million at June 30, 2008. Other loans which are comprised primarily of automobile loans decreased $7.9 million, or 11.6% to $60.7 million at March 31, 2009 from $68.6 million at June 30, 2008. Real estate loans comprised 92.0% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 2009, compared with 90.8% at June 30, 2008. The decrease in one-to-four family loans and increase in multi-family loans was due to our ongoing focus on originating income producing property loans as a means of diversifying the loan portfolio.
Deposits. Total deposits increased $59.2 million or 12.0% to $554.3 million at March 31, 2009 from $495.1 million at June 30, 2008 as depositors look for the safety of banks with strong capital positions. The change was comprised of increases of $23.1 million in money market accounts, $18.7 million in noninterest-bearing demand accounts, $15.5 million in certificates of deposit and $1.9 million in savings accounts. The increase in money market and certificates of deposit accounts was a result of promotions for these types of accounts.
Borrowings. Advances from the FHLB of San Francisco decreased $28.0 million, or 11.9% to $207.0 million at March 31, 2009 from $235.0 million at June 30, 2008. The decline was the result of scheduled advance repayments in August and October 2008 and was funded with available liquidity due to increased deposits.
Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $1.3 million, to $92.0 million at March 31, 2009 from $90.7 million at June 30, 2008 primarily as a result of $3.5 million in net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and the allocation of ESOP shares, stock awards, and stock options earned totaling $856,000. This increase was offset in part by cash payments of $1.8 million for the repurchase of shares of common stock and $1.4 million in dividends ($0.33 per share) paid to stockholders of record for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, excluding shares held by K-Fed Mutual Holding Company which waved receipt of its dividend payments.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008.
General. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $1.2 million, a decrease of $131,000 as compared to net income of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Earnings per basic and diluted common share were $0.09 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $0.10 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $302,000 or 2.6%, to $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The primary reasons for the decline in interest income were decreases in interest on securities, dividends on FHLB stock and interest on federal funds sold.
Interest income on securities decreased by $78,000 or 34.8%, to $146,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $224,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $6.7 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities from $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as a result of maturities and normal repayments of principal on our mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.
On January 8, 2009, the FHLB of San Francisco announced that it would not pay a dividend for the fourth quarter of 2008. Accordingly we received no dividends for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $146,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. On April 10, 2009 the FHLB of San Francisco announced that it will not pay a dividend for the first quarter of 2009 and will not repurchase excess capital stock on the next regularly scheduled repurchase date.
Other interest income decreased by $189,000 or 70.5% to $79,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $268,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was a result of a 246 basis point decline in the average yield earned on federal funds sold from 2.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 0.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The yield earned on federal funds sold was impacted by the actions taken by the Federal Reserve in lowering the targeted federal funds rate.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.0 million or 15.7% to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to a 63 basis point decline in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities from 3.72% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to 3.09% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as a result of a general decline in interest rates during the period. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $9.8 million from $698.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 to $708.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
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 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 collectability 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 collectability of the loan. Significant factors reviewed in determining the allowance
for loan losses included loss ratio trends by loan product and concentrations in geographic regions, interest only loans, stated income loans and loans with credit scores less than a specified amount. The company also reviewed the debt service coverage ratios and seasoning for income property loans. Senior management reviews these conditions quarterly in discussions with our senior credit officers. To the extent that any of these conditions is evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s estimate of the effect of such condition may be reflected as a specific allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio segment. Where any of these conditions is not evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s evaluation of the loss related to this condition is reflected in the general allowance. The evaluation of the inherent loss with respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments.
Management also evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based on a review of individual loans, historical loan loss experience, the value and adequacy of collateral and economic conditions in our market area. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. For all specifically reviewed loans for which it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the loan agreement, we determine impairment by computing a fair value either based on discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and are excluded from specific impairment evaluation, and their allowance for loan losses is calculated in accordance with the allowance for loan losses policy described above.
Because the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates of losses inherent in the loan portfolio, actual losses can vary significantly from the estimated amounts. Our methodology as described above permits adjustments to any loss factor used in the computation of the formula allowance in the event that, in management’s judgment, significant factors which affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date are not reflected in the loss factors. By assessing the estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis, we are able to adjust specific and inherent loss estimates based upon any more recent information that has become available. In addition, management’s determination as to the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) and the FDIC, which may require the establishment of additional general or specific allowances based upon their judgment of the information available to them at the time of their examination of Kaiser Federal Bank.
Our provision for loan losses increased to $660,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $200,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 0.57% at March 31, 2009 as compared to 0.42% at March 31, 2008. Net charge-offs totaled $289,000 or 0.15% of average loans for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $25,000 or 0.01% of average loans for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to an increase in real estate loan delinquencies as well as an increase in loans that were reviewed for impairment. The increase in delinquencies was experienced primarily in our one-to-four family loans as a result of the continued deterioration in the housing market as well as deteriorating general economic conditions and increased unemployment in our market area.
The increase in non-performing loans has impacted the level of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2009. Non-performing loans are assessed to determine impairment. Loans that are found to be impaired are individually evaluated and a specific valuation allowance is applied. Accordingly the Company’s specific valuation allowance has increased from $334,000 at June 30, 2008 to $1.1 million at March 31, 2009.
Noninterest Income. Our noninterest income decreased $94,000, or 8.3% to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in ATM activity and from non-sufficient funds service charges during the period.
Noninterest Expense. Our noninterest expense increased $290,000, or 7.4% to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to a $124,000 increase in ATM expense and a $156,000 increase in other operating expense.
ATM expense increased $124,000, or 38.0% to $450,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $326,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in ATM expense was primarily due to ATM installations, one-time communication capacity expense, and an increase in ATM fraud losses of $45,000.
Other operating expense increased $156,000, or 37.1% to $576,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $420,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to the FDIC imposing additional deposit insurance premium assessments.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was relatively unchanged at $772,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $766,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The effective tax rate was 39.3% and 36.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was attributable to an increase in non-deductible expense related to stock options and stock awards.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008.
General. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was $3.5 million, an increase of $809,000 as compared to net income of $2.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Earnings per basic and diluted common share were $0.27 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $0.20 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 included $1.3 million in stock offering costs. The recognition of these expenses resulted in a decline of $0.05 per share in basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Excluding the effect of the stock offering costs, the increase in net income was primarily the result of increased net interest income resulting from a lower cost of funds.
Interest Income. Interest income increased by $77,000, or 0.23%, to $33.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from $33.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Interest and fees on loans increased $823,000, or 2.58%, to $32.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from $31.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The primary factor for the increase in interest income was an increase in the average loans receivable balance of $23.1 million or 3.20%, from $720.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 to $743.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in interest and fees on loans was partially offset by the decrease in interest on securities and other interest income.
Interest income on securities decreased by $397,000, or 45.0%, to $485,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from $882,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was attributable to a $12.0 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities from $26.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 to $14.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 as a result of maturities and normal repayments of principal on our mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.
Other interest income decreased by $265,000 or 38.4% to $425,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from $690,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was a result of a 210 basis point decline in the average yield earned on federal funds sold from 3.21% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 to 1.11% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The yield earned on federal funds sold was impacted by the actions taken by the Federal Reserve in lowering the targeted federal funds rate.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.8 million, or 9.2% to $17.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $19.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily attributable to a 49 basis point decline in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities from 3.81% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 to 3.32% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 as a result of a general decline in interest rates during the period. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $27.2 million from $681.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 to $708.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.
Provision for Loan Losses. Our provision for loan losses increased to $2.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $551,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Net charge-offs totaled $933,000 or 0.17% of average loans for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $299,000 or 0.06% of average loans for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to an increase in real estate loan delinquencies as well as an increase in loans that were reviewed for impairment. The increase in delinquencies was experienced primarily in our one-to-four family loans as a result of the continued deterioration in the housing market as well as deteriorating general economic conditions and increased unemployment.
Noninterest Income. Our noninterest income increased $214,000, or 6.7% to $3.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $3.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily the result of increased customer service charges and fees due to increased customer activity coupled with an increase in ATM surcharge fees for non-customers.
Noninterest Expense. Our noninterest expense decreased $740,000, or 5.8% to $12.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $12.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease resulted from the recognition of $1.3 million in expenses relating to the cancellation of the stock offering in November 2007. Excluding the stock offering costs, noninterest expense increased $539,000 due to increases in ATM expense and other operating expense.
ATM expense increased $220,000, or 23.1% to $1.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in ATM expense was primarily due to ATM installations, one-time communication capacity expense, and an increase in ATM fraud losses of $46,000 during the period.
Other operating expense increased $197,000, or 14.7% to $1.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 from $1.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to the FDIC imposing additional deposit insurance premium assessments.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $560,000 to $2.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $1.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. This increase was primarily the result of higher pre-tax income of $5.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $4.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. The effective tax rate was 36.3% and 34.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was attributable to an increase in non-deductible expense related to stock options and stock awards.
Asset Quality
Asset quality continues to remain strong despite the continued deterioration in the housing market and weakened economy as evidenced by non-accrual and delinquency ratios that are significantly below industry averages. This has been accomplished through our conservative and disciplined lending practices including our strict adherence to a long standing disciplined credit culture that emphasizes the consistent application of underwriting standards to all loans. In this regard, the Bank fully underwrites all loans based on an applicant’s employment history, credit history and an appraised value of the subject property. With respect to purchased loans, the Bank underwrites each loan based upon our own underwriting standards prior to making the purchase.
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. |
Additionally, the Bank’s portfolio has remained strongly anchored in traditional mortgage products. In this regard, we do not originate or purchase construction and development loans, teaser option-ARM loans, negatively amortizing loans or high loan to value loans.
Delinquent Loans. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to our loan portfolio delinquencies at the dates indicated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
As expected, based on the weakened economy and continued decline in the housing market, the one-to-four family mortgage loan portfolio has shown increased delinquency. Delinquent loans 60 days or more increased to $5.7 million or 0.75% of total loans at March 31, 2009 from $1.9 million or 0.26% of total loans at June 30, 2008.
Non-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. At March 31, 2009, we had $1.7 million of troubled debt restructurings (loans for which a concession has been granted due to the debtor’s financial difficulties) that are included in non-accrual loans in the following table.
Other real estate owned and repossessed assets consist of real estate and other assets which have been acquired through foreclosure on loans. At the time of foreclosure, assets are recorded at the lower of their estimated fair value less selling costs or the loan balance, with any write-down charged against the allowance for loan losses.

The increase in non-performing loans was a result of the increased delinquency in our one-to-four family loans as a result of the continued deterioration in the housing market as well as deteriorating general economic conditions and increased unemployment in our market area. The increase in non-performing loans has impacted our determination of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2009. Non-performing loans are assessed to determine impairment. Loans that are found to be impaired are individually evaluated and a specific valuation allowance is applied. Accordingly the Company’s specific valuation allowance has increased from $334,000 at June 30, 2008 to $1.1 million at March 31, 2009.
Changes in asset quality were considered in the allowance for loan losses based on a detailed analysis of loans, including delinquent loans. Each delinquent loan was evaluated for impairment based on the loan balance, the borrower’s ability to pay and collateral value. The other factors reviewed in determining the allowance for loan losses included loss ratio trends by loan product and concentrations in (1) geographic regions, (2) interest only loans, (3) stated income loans and (4) loans with credit scores less than a specified amount. The Company also reviewed the debt service coverage ratios and seasoning for income property loans. The Company has not changed its estimation methods or assumptions related to the allowance for loan losses during the periods presented.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Commitments
Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to the return on loans. Historically, we have maintained liquid assets at levels above the minimum requirements previously imposed by OTS 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, interest earning accounts and mortgage-backed and related securities, is a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. Our primary sources of funds are deposits; amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, and other short-term investments; and funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed related securities and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. We also generate cash through borrowings. We utilize FHLB advances and State of California time deposits to leverage our capital base and provide funds for our lending and investment activities as well as enhance our interest rate risk management.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as overnight deposits as well as interest earning time deposits in other financial institutions. On a longer-term basis, we maintain a strategy of investing in various lending products. We use our sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing commitments, to pay maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals, to fund loan commitments and to maintain our portfolio of mortgage-backed and related securities. At March 31, 2009, total approved loan commitments amounted to $6.0 million, which included the unfunded portion of loans of $3.1 million.
Certificates of deposit, State of California time deposits, and advances from the FHLB of San Francisco scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2009, totaled $149.9 million, $25.0 million and $60.0 million, respectively. Based on historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with Kaiser Federal Bank and we anticipate that we will continue to have sufficient funds, through deposits and borrowings, to meet our current commitments.
At March 31, 2009, we had available additional advances from the FHLB of San Francisco in the amount of $123.9 million.

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.
Our Risk When Interest Rates Change. The rates of interest we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Market interest rates change over time. Our fixed rate loans generally have longer maturities than our fixed rate deposits. Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. The risk associated with changes in interest rates and our ability to adapt to these changes is known as interest rate risk and is our most significant market risk.
How We Measure Our Risk of Interest Rate Changes. As part of our attempt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and comply with applicable regulations, we monitor our interest rate risk. In monitoring interest rate risk we continually analyze and manage assets and liabilities based on their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities, and their sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates.
In order to minimize the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged increases in interest rates on our results of operations, we have adopted investment/asset and liability management policies to better match the maturities and repricing terms of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The board of directors sets and recommends the asset and liability policies of Kaiser Federal Bank, which are implemented by the asset/liability management committee.
The purpose of the asset/liability management committee is to communicate, coordinate and control asset/liability management consistent with our business plan and board approved policies. The committee establishes and monitors the volume and mix of assets and funding sources taking into account relative costs and spreads, interest rate sensitivity and liquidity needs. The objectives are to manage assets and funding sources to produce results that are consistent with liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk, and profitability goals.
The asset/liability management committee generally meets on a weekly basis to 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 monthly.
In order to manage our assets and liabilities and achieve the desired liquidity, credit quality, interest rate risk, profitability and capital targets, we have focused our strategies on: (1) originating adjustable rate loans; (2) originating a reasonable volume of short- and intermediate-term consumer loans; (3) managing our deposits to establish stable deposit relationships; and (4) using FHLB advances, and pricing on fixed-term non-core deposits to align maturities and repricing terms.
At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the asset/liability management committee may determine to increase our interest rate risk position somewhat in order to maintain our net interest margin. We intend to continue our existing strategy of originating relatively short-term and/or adjustable rate loans. The Bank does not maintain any securities for trading purposes. The Bank does not currently engage in trading activities or use instruments such as interest rate swaps, hedges, or other similar derivatives to control interest rate risk.
The OTS provides Kaiser Federal Bank with the information presented in the following table, which is based on information provided to the OTS by Kaiser Federal Bank. It presents the change in Kaiser Federal Bank’s net portfolio value at December 31, 2008 which is the latest information available that would occur upon an immediate change in interest rates based on OTS assumptions but without giving effect to any steps that management might take to counteract that change.

The OTS uses certain assumptions in assessing the interest rate risk of savings associations. These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the 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.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
None.
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, 2008 and as supplemented by later Form 10-Q filings.
