December 31, 2002, and September 30, 2002, and the results of their operations
and cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations
for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 are not necessarily
indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

4. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
On October 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain
Financial Institutions, which requires certain intangible assets to be accounted
for under the provisions of SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No.
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which statements were also adopted on
October 1, 2002. In accordance with these standards, goodwill and other
intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer being amortized but
instead will be tested for impairment at least annually. Upon adoption of SFAS
No. 147, $22.9 million of intangible assets related to prior branch acquisitions
were reclassified to goodwill and amortization of these assets ceased. Expense
related to amortization of other intangibles totaled $404,375 for the three
months ended December 31, 2002. A similar expense is not being recorded in
fiscal year 2003. Core deposit intangibles will continue to be amortized based
on the estimated lives of the underlying deposits. The following table
summarizes selected information about intangible assets:

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has various outstanding
commitments and contingencies that are not reflected in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company is a defendant in
certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In
the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate
disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect
on the consolidated financial condition or cash flows of the Company.
7. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share ("EPS") is computed in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings per Share. Shares held by the
Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") that are committed for release
are considered contingently issuable shares and are included in the computation
of basic EPS. Diluted EPS is computed using the treasury stock method, giving
effect to potential additional common shares that were outstanding during the
period. Potential dilutive common shares include shares awarded but not released
under the Company's Management Recognition and Development Plan ("MRDP"), and
stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan. Following is a summary of the
effect of dilutive securities on weighted average number of shares (denominator)
for the basic and diluted EPS calculations. There are no resulting adjustments
to net earnings.

9. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2002, the FASB issues SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No.
123. This Statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary
change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. It also expands and clarifies the disclosure requirements to make
those disclosures more prominent and to require such disclosures in interim as
well as annual financial statements. While the Company plans to continue to
account for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion 25, the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 148 will be implemented for interim reporting for the
quarter ended March 31, 2003. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No.
148 to have a material impact on its financial statements.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On January 16, 2003, the Company announced a five percent stock repurchase plan
to be completed over a twelve month period. Five percent represents
approximately 339,000 shares.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations and other portions of this report contain certain "forward-looking
statements" concerning the future operations of Klamath First Bancorp, Inc.
Management desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this statement
for the express purpose of availing the Company of the protections of such safe
harbor with respect to all "forward-looking statements" contained in this
quarterly report. We have used "forward- looking statements" to describe future
plans and strategies, including our expectations of the Company's future
financial results. Management's ability to predict results or the effect of
future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could affect
actual results include interest rate trends, the general economic climate in the
Company's market area and the country as a whole which could affect the
collectibility of loan balances, the ability to increase non-interest income
through expansion of new lines of business, the ability of the Company to
control costs and expenses, the success and costs of integration of acquired
branches, competitive products and pricing, loan delinquency rates, and changes
in federal and state regulation. These factors should be considered in
evaluating the "forward-looking statements," and undue reliance should not be
placed on such statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," as well as disclosures included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, are
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to
make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates
the estimates used, including the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses,
impairment of intangible assets, and contingencies and litigation. Estimates are
based upon historical experience, current economic conditions and other factors
that management considers reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates
result in judgments regarding the carrying values of assets and liabilities when
these values are not readily available from other sources as well as assessing
and identifying the accounting treatments of commitments and contingencies.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. The following critical accounting policies involve the more
significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements.
The allowance for loan losses is established to absorb known and inherent losses
attributable to loans outstanding and related off-balance sheet commitments. The
adequacy of the allowance is monitored on an ongoing basis and is based on
management's evaluation of numerous factors. These factors include the quality
of the current loan portfolio, the trend in the loan portfolio's risk ratings,
current economic conditions, loan concentrations, loan growth rates, past-due
and non-performing trends, evaluation of specific loss estimates for all
significant problem loans, historical charge-off and recovery experience and
other pertinent information. Approximately 81 percent of the Company's loan
portfolio is secured by real estate, both residential and commercial properties,
and a significant depreciation in real estate values in Oregon would cause
management to increase the allowance for loan and lease losses.
12
Retained mortgage servicing rights are measured by allocating the carrying value
of the loans between the assets sold and the interest retained, based on the
relative fair value at the date of the sale. The fair market values are
determined using a discounted cash flow model. Mortgage servicing assets are
amortized over the expected life of the loan and are evaluated periodically for
impairment. The expected life of the loan can vary from management's estimates
due to prepayments by borrowers. Prepayments in excess of management's estimates
would negatively impact the recorded value of the mortgage servicing rights. The
value of the mortgage servicing rights is also dependent upon the discount rate
used in the model. Management reviews this rate on an ongoing basis based on
current market rates. A significant increase in the discount rate would
negatively impact the value of mortgage servicing rights. At December 31, 2002
the Company had recorded impairment of $213,813 related to mortgage servicing
rights.
At December 31, 2002 the Company had approximately $16.5 million in core deposit
intangibles and $22.9 million of goodwill as a result of business combinations.
Because these intangible assets were generated by purchases of bank branches,
the Company was originally required to account for them under SFAS No. 72,
Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions, rather
than SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The issuance of SFAS
No. 147, Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions, in October 2002 removed
such acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of SFAS No. 72 and
required the application of SFAS No. 142. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 and
SFAS No. 147 as of October 1, 2002. These standards require that the balance of
goodwill and other intangibles be subjected to impairment testing on a periodic
basis. Ongoing analysis of the fair value of recorded core deposit intangibles
and other intangibles for impairment will involve a substantial amount of
judgment, as will establishing and monitoring estimated lives of other
amortizable intangible assets.
The Company is party to various legal proceedings. These matters have a high
degree of uncertainty associated with them. There can be no assurance that the
ultimate outcome will not differ materially from our assessment of them. There
can also be no assurance that all matters that may be brought against us are
known to us at any point in time.
General
The Company, an Oregon corporation, is the unitary savings and loan holding
company for the Association. At December 31, 2002, the Company had total
consolidated assets of $1.5 billion and consolidated shareholders' equity of
$119.2 million. The Company is currently not engaged in any business activity
other than holding the stock of the Association. Accordingly, the information
set forth in this report, including financial statements and related data,
relates primarily to the Association.
The Association is a progressive, community-oriented savings and loan
association that focuses on customer service within its primary market area.
Accordingly, the Association is primarily engaged in attracting deposits from
the general public through its offices and using those and other available
sources of funds to originate permanent residential one- to four-family real
estate loans and loans on commercial real estate, multi-family residential
properties, and to consumers and small businesses within its market area. While
the Association has historically emphasized fixed rate mortgage lending, it has
13
been diversifying its loan portfolio by focusing on increasing the number of
originations of commercial real estate loans, multi- family residential loans,
residential construction loans, commercial and industrial loans, small business
loans and non-mortgage consumer loans. A significant portion of these newer loan
products carry adjustable rates, higher yields, or shorter terms than the
traditional fixed rate mortgages. This lending strategy is designed to enhance
earnings, reduce interest rate risk, and provide a more complete range of
financial services to customers and the local communities served by the
Association. The acquisition of 13 branches from Washington Mutual Bank
("WAMU"), which was completed in September 2001, moved the Company strongly in
this direction.
Net interest income, which is the difference between interest and dividend
income on interest-earning assets, primarily loans and investment securities,
and interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, is the major
source of profit for the Company. Because the Company depends primarily on net
interest income for its earnings, the focus of the Company's management is to
create and implement strategies that will provide stable, positive spreads
between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities. Such strategies include the Association's expansion of its consumer
and commercial loan products. To a lesser degree, the net earnings of the
Company rely on the level of its non-interest income. The Company is
aggressively pursuing strategies to improve its service charge and fee income,
and control its non-interest expense, which includes employee compensation and
benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, deposit insurance premiums and
miscellaneous other expenses.
The Association is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and its
deposits are insured up to applicable limits under the Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").
The Association is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle, conducting
its business through 53 office facilities, with the main office located in
Klamath Falls, Oregon. The primary market areas of the Association are the state
of Oregon and adjoining areas of California and Washington.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company generates cash through operating activities, primarily as a result
of net income. The adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by
operations during the periods presented consisted primarily of the provision for
loan losses, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense,
amortization of deferred loan origination fees, net gain on the sale of
investment and mortgage-backed securities, increases or decreases in various
escrow accounts and increases or decreases in other assets and liabilities. The
primary investing activity of the Association is lending, which is funded with
cash provided from operations and financing activities, as well as proceeds from
amortization and prepayments on existing loans and mortgage backed and related
securities. For additional information about cash flows from operating,
financing, and investing activities, see the Condensed Consolidated Statements
of Cash Flows.
The Association is required under applicable federal regulations to maintain
specified levels of "liquid" investments in qualifying types of U.S. government,
federal agency and other investments having maturities of five years or less.
Current OTS regulations require that a savings association maintain liquid
assets of not less than 4.00% of its average daily balance of net withdrawable
deposit accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less. At December 31,
2002, the Association's liquidity, as measured for regulatory purposes, was
7.8%. The Company has borrowing agreements with banks that can be used if funds
are needed.
OTS capital regulations require the Association to have: (i) tangible capital
equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets, (ii) core capital equal to 4.0% of
adjusted total assets, and (iii) total risk-based capital equal to 8.0% of
risk-weighted assets. At December 31, 2002, the Association was in compliance
with all regulatory capital requirements effective as of such date, with
tangible, core and risk- based capital of 6.9%, 6.9% and 14.1%, respectively.
14
Changes in Financial Condition
At December 31, 2002, the consolidated assets of the Company totaled $1.5
billion, consistent with $1.5 billion at September 30, 2002.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $6.6 million, or 14.50%, from $45.8 million
at September 30, 2002 to $52.4 million at December 31, 2002. The increase is the
result of routine daily fluctuations in cash balances.
Net loans receivable decreased $17.8 million, or 2.94%, to $589.6 million at
December 31, 2002, compared to $607.5 million at September 30, 2002. The
decrease is the combined result of continued prepayment of loan balances due to
refinancing activity and the Company's strategy of selling much of its single
family mortgage loan production, so those loans are not adding to the portfolio
balance. The Company sold $25.5 million in single family mortgage loans with
servicing released during the quarter ended December 31, 2002.
Investment securities decreased $10.8 million, or 9.02%, from $119.5 million at
September 30, 2002 to $109.2 million at December 31, 2002. This decrease was the
primarily the result of sale of $10.2 million of securities during the quarter
ended December 31, 2002.
During the three months ended December 31, 2002, $83.0 million of principal
payments were received on MBS and $65.2 million in MBS were purchased, resulting
in a decrease in the balance of MBS from $650.8 million at September 30, 2002 to
$627.7 million at December 31, 2002.
In December 2002, the Company purchased $15.0 million in bank-owned life
insurance.
Other assets increased from $3.7 million at September 30, 2002 to $14.6 million
at December 31, 2002. The balance at December 31, 2002 included an $11.3 million
receivable from investment brokers related to the securities transactions that
had not settled at quarter end.
Deposit liabilities decreased $23.0 million, or 2.01%, from $1.14 billion at
September 30, 2002 to $1.12 billion at December 31, 2002. The decrease reflects
run off of time deposits in response to reduced interest rates offered on
accounts.
Advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance decreased $4.7 million from
September 30, 2002 to December 31, 2002. The decrease is the result of using the
reserves to pay the required real estate taxes due on the Association's loans
receivable portfolio in November 2002.
The Company's total borrowings increased $2.7 million from September 30, 2002 to
December 31, 2002. The increase is the result of FHLB borrowing at favorable
rates during the quarter ended December 31, 2002.
Total shareholders' equity decreased $770,322 from $119.9 million at September
30, 2002 to $119.2 million at December 31, 2002. This decrease was the combined
result of $1.9 million in earnings for the quarter, a $2.8 million decrease in
unrealized gains on securities available for sale, and $842,320 reduction for
payment of dividends on common stock.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Months Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001
General. Net income improved for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 compared
with the same quarter last year. While interest income, interest expense and net
interest income all declined due to the declining rates over the last 12 months,
non-interest income improved without an increase in non-interest expense. The
overall result was a 129.65% increase in net earnings, from $821,109 for the
quarter ended December 31, 2001 to $1.9 million for the quarter ended December
31, 2002.
Interest Income. The Company recorded interest income of $19.2 million in the
first quarter ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of 16.39% from $23.0 million
for the same period last year. Average interest earning assets for the first
quarter increased by $15.4 million, or 1.11%, compared to the first quarter last
year, due to growth throughout the branch network. During the same period, yield
on interest-earning assets decreased 115 basis points, from 6.64% for the
quarter ended December 31, 2001 to 5.49% for the same period in 2002.
15
Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $3.5 million from $11.7
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 to $8.2 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 2002. Average deposits decreased by $42.7 million comparing
the three months ended December 31, 2001 to 2002, while the average interest
paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased 134 basis points from 3.58% for the
three months ended December 31, 2001 to 2.24% for the same period ended December
31, 2002. Again, the decrease in interest rates paid was part of a strategy
adopted by the Company in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002. The average
balance of borrowings increased $35.5 million from $170.0 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2001 to $205.5 million for the same period ended
December 31, 2002. However, the rate paid on borrowings decreased by 57 basis
points from 5.77% for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 to 5.20% for the same
period in 2002.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was zero and there were
$77,860 of charge offs, and $30,265 of recoveries during the three months ended
December 31, 2002 compared to a $153,000 provision with $44,230 of charge offs
and no recoveries during the three months ended December 31, 2001. Based on
analysis of the loan portfolio, it was determined that the allowance for loan
losses was adequate at December 31, 2002 without the need for additional
reserves, thus no provision for loan losses was recorded.
At December 31, 2002, the allowance for loan losses was equal to 548.1% of total
non-performing assets compared to 699.6% at December 31, 2001. The decrease in
the coverage ratio was the result of a slight increase in non-performing assets
and a somewhat lower allowance. The ratio of non-performing assets to total
assets remained consistent, with 0.08% at December 31, 2001 to 0.09% at December
31, 2002.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income continues to improve, increasing $1.7
million, or 72.75%, to $3.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002
from $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001. Income from fees
and service charges increased by 32.66% from $1.8 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 2001 to $2.4 million for the current quarter. Brokerage and annuity
commissions also showed significant growth, increasing by 110.10% from $241,551
for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 to $507,490 for the same quarter this
year. This growth is a result of the expanded presence of Klamath First
Financial Services, making the brokerage and investment services available to
customers in more of the Company's market areas. A $380,068 gain on sale of
securities was recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2002 while there was
no corresponding gain in the prior year.
Non-Interest Expense. The Company's continued efforts to control expenses can be
seen in the comparison of non-interest expense items for the quarters ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001. Most categories of expenses were consistent from
year to year. Compensation, employee benefits and related expense showed a 9.32%
increase due to increases in number of employees and salary increases.
Amortization of intangibles decreased as the adoption of SFAS No. 142 and SFAS
No. 147 required the Company to cease amortization of other intangibles related
to the WAMU branch acquisition beginning October 1, 2002. Amortization of core
deposit intangibles arising from the branch acquisitions from Wells Fargo and
WAMU will continue to be recorded.
16
Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased $431,088 for the three
months ended December 31, 2002 compared with the prior year. The effective tax
rate was 31.9% for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 compared to 35.6% for the
same period of 2001. The decrease in effective tax rate is primarily due to an
increase in tax-exempt securities and addition of low income housing tax
credits.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company's financial performance is affected by the success of the fee
generating products it offers to its customers, the credit quality of its loans
and securities, and the extent to which its earnings are affected by changes in
interest rates. Credit risk is the risk that borrowers will become unable to
repay their debts as they become due. The Company relies on strict underwriting
standards, loan review, and an adequate allowance for loan losses to mitigate
its credit risk.
Interest rate risk is the risk of loss in principal value and risk of earning
less net interest income due to changes in interest rates. Put simply, savings
institutions solicit deposits and lend the funds they receive to borrowers. The
difference between the rate paid on deposits and the rate received on loans is
the interest rate spread. If the rates paid on deposits change, or reprice, with
the same timing and magnitude as the rates change on the loans, there is perfect
matching of interest rate changes and thus, no change in interest rate spread
and no interest rate risk. In actuality, interest rates on deposits and other
liabilities do not reprice at the same time and/or with the same magnitude as
those on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets. For example,
historically the Company primarily originated fixed-rate residential loans for
its portfolio. Because fixed-rate loans do not reprice until payoff and because
the majority of residential loans have terms of 15 to 30 years (with actual
expected lives of seven to ten years), the interest rate characteristics of the
loan portfolio do not exactly match the Company's liabilities, which consist of
deposits with maturities ranging up to ten years and borrowings which mature or
reprice in five years or less. When interest rates change, this mismatch creates
changes in interest rate spread that influence net interest income and result in
interest rate risk.
Changes in interest rates also impact the fair value of the assets and
liabilities on the Company's balance sheet, expressed as changes in the net
portfolio value ("NPV"). NPV represents the market value of portfolio equity and
is equal to the market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities
plus or minus the estimated market value of off-balance sheet instruments. For
example, the market value of investment securities and loans is impacted by
changes in interest rates. Fixed-rate loans and investments held in the
Company's portfolio increase in market value if interest rates decline.
Conversely, the market value of fixed-rate portfolio assets decreases in an
increasing interest rate environment. It is generally assumed that assets with
adjustable rates are less subject to market value changes due to interest rate
fluctuations based on the premise that their rates will adjust with the market.
There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2002.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Section 13(a) -
14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") was carried out under
the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company's
senior management within the 90-day period preceding the filing date of this
quarterly report. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as
currently in effect 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.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls: In the quarter ended December 31, 2002,
the Company did not make any significant changes in, nor take any corrective
actions regarding, its internal controls or other factors that could
significantly affect these controls.
