On December 2, 2005, Ancora Advisors, LLC and the members of its filing
group (collectively, "Ancora") filed a Schedule 13D/A. This Schedule 13D/A
included a letter that Ancora sent to FFD Financial Corporation ("FFD")
requesting that FFD's Board of Directors (the "Board") approve any purchases of
shares by Ancora that would result in Ancora becoming an "interested
shareholder" for purposes of Chapter 1704 of the Ohio Revised Code. On December
14, 2005, FFD informed Ancora that the Board had determined that it was not in
the best interests of FFD for the Board to approve purchases of shares by Ancora
for purposes of Chapter 1704 of the Ohio Revised Code.
