Mail-Stop 4561 							January 10, 2006 Via facsimile and U.S. Mail Mr. Stephen M. Oksas President and Chief Executive Officer Mutual Federal Bancorp, Inc. 2212 West Cermak Road Chicago, Illinois 60608 Re: Mutual Federal Bancorp, Inc. Amendment Number 1 to Form SB-2 	 File No. 333-129835 Filed January 3, 2006 Dear Mr. Oksas: We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with supplemental information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional comments. The purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. How We Determined to Offer ..., page 6 1. With regard to the last set of bullets on page 8 (for fully converted ratios of Mutual Bancorp), we note that you indicate 10% of shares outstanding after the offering will be "allocated" to the stock option plan. Revise to instead state that 10% of the shares outstanding after the offering will be used to fund the stock option plan and such shares will come from the 70% to be owned by the Mutual Federal Bancorp. 2. The 10% for the stock option plan appears to be inconsistent with the disclosures on page 13 wherein it indicates 4.9% of total shares and 16.3% of shares excluding those held by Mutual Federal. Assuming the 4.9% represents plans initiated before 1 year, advise us if the Company`s intent is to have a plan of 4.9% or wait until the year lapses and have a plan with 10%. If so, revise the disclosures herein and on page 13 to so indicate. Our Officers, Directors and Employees will ..., pages 12-13 3. The first sentence of the second paragraph indicates authority to have benefit plans up to 25% of the shares outstanding held by other than Mutual Federal. This appears to be 7.5% of the total outstanding (.25 x .30= .075%). However, the bullet on page 8 states that the option plan alone would equal 10%. Please revise the disclosure herein to clarify how 10% of the total outstanding shares will be issued to the option plan and, if the 25% limitation only applies to plans initiated before 1 year, so state and provide disclosure of the limits after 1 year.
