Item 4. Description of Securities Not applicable. Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel None. 3 Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers Section 545.121 of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) regulations provides indemnification for directors and officers of K-Fed Bancorp. Although there are no indemnification provisions in the charter and bylaws of the Registrant, all the directors and officers of the Registrant hold the same position with K-Fed Bancorp and have indemnification under OTS Regulations as described below. Generally, federal regulations define areas for indemnity coverage for federal savings associations as follows: (a) Any person against whom any action is brought or threatened because that person is or was a director or officer of the savings association shall be indemnified by the savings association for: (i) Any amount for which that person becomes liable under a judgment in such action; and (ii) Reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, actually paid or incurred by that person in defending or settling such action, or in enforcing his or her rights under this section if he or she attains a favorable judgment in such enforcement action. (b) Indemnification shall be made to such person under paragraph (b) of this Section only if: (i) Final judgment on the merits is in his or her favor; or (ii) In case of: a. Settlement, b. Final judgment against him or her, or c. Final judgment in his or her favor, other than on the merits, if a majority of the disinterested directors of the savings association determine that he or she was acting in good faith within the scope of his or her employment or authority as he or she could reasonably have perceived it under the circumstances and for a purpose he or she could reasonably have believed under the circumstances was in the best interest of the savings association or its members. However, no indemnification shall be made unless the association gives the Office at least 60 days notice of its intention to make such indemnification. Such notice shall state the facts on which the action arose, the terms of any settlement, and any disposition of the action by a court. Such notice, a copy thereof, and a certified copy of the resolution containing the required determination by the board of directors shall be sent to the Regional Director, who shall promptly acknowledge receipt thereof. The notice period shall run from the date of such receipt. No such indemnification shall be made if the OTS advises the association in writing, within such notice period, of its objection thereto. (c) As used in this paragraph: (i) "Action" means any judicial or administrative proceeding, or threatened proceeding, whether civil, criminal, or otherwise, including any appeal or other proceeding for review; (ii) "Court" includes, without limitation, any court to which or in which any appeal or any proceeding for review is brought; (iii)"Final Judgment" means a judgment, decree, or order which is not appealable or as to which the period for appeal has expired with no appeal taken; (iv) "Settlement" includes the entry of a judgment by consent or confession or a plea of guilty or of nolo contendere. 4 Item 7.

Undertakings The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: 1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any material information with respect to the plan distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; 2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; 3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the Plans; and 4. That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference 5 in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and 5. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 6 SIGNATURES The Registrant. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Covina, State of California, on this 23rd day of November, 2004.
