FFD  Financial  Corporation  Reports Net  Earnings  For The Three  Months  Ended
September 30, 2003


DOVER,  OHIO - FFD  Financial  Corporation,  parent  company  of  First  Federal
Community Bank of Dover, Ohio,  reported net earnings for the three months ended
September 30, 2003, of $176,000, or diluted earnings per share of $.15, compared
to the $220,000,  or $.19 per diluted  share,  of net earnings  reported for the
comparable  three-month period in 2002. The $44,000,  or 20.0%,  decrease in net
earnings  resulted  from a decrease  of  $55,000  in other  income and a $52,000
increase in general,  administrative  and other expense,  which were offset by a
$41,000  increase in net interest income after provision for losses on loans and
a $22,000 decrease in the provision for federal income taxes.

Other income  declined during the quarter due primarily to a decrease in gain on
sale of loans in the secondary market.  The increase in general,  administrative
and other expense related to pro-rata increases in expenses from year-to-year.

FFD Financial  Corporation reported total assets at September 30, 2003 of $136.2
million,  total  liabilities  of $119.2  million,  including  deposits of $103.3
million and shareholders' equity of $17.0 million.

FFD  Financial  Corporation  is traded on the NASDAQ  SmallCap  Market under the
symbol  FFDF.  First  Federal  Community  Bank has  offices in  downtown  Dover,
downtown New Philadelphia,  and on the Boulevard in Dover. The company maintains
