General K-Fed Bancorp (or the "Company") is a federally-chartered stock corporation that was formed in July 2003 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of K-Fed Mutual Holding Company, a federally-chartered mutual holding company, in connection with the mutual holding company reorganization of Kaiser Federal Bank (or the "Bank"), a federally chartered stock savings association. Upon completion of the mutual holding company reorganization in July 2003, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of the Bank. On March 30, 2004, the Company completed a minority stock offering in which it sold 5,686,750 shares, or 39.09%, of its outstanding common stock to eligible depositors of the Bank in a subscription offering. The remaining 8,861,750 outstanding shares of the Company are owned by K-Fed MHC. K-Fed Mutual Holding Company is a federally-chartered mutual holding company and is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision. K-Fed Mutual Holding Company's principal assets are its investment in K-Fed Bancorp and approximately $50,000 in cash. So long as K-Fed Mutual Holding Company is in existence, it will at all times own at least a majority of the outstanding common stock of K-Fed Bancorp. At June 30, 2004, K-Fed Bancorp had total assets of $584.4 million, total deposits of $423.0 million and total shareholders' equity of $89.1 million. The Company's business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of our investment in the Bank. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Company include the Bank and the Company on a consolidated basis. The Bank is a community oriented financial institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the communities we serve. We are headquartered in Covina, California, with a branch in Pasadena to serve Los Angeles County, a branch in Fontana to serve San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, and a branch in Santa Clara to serve Santa Clara County. The Bank began operations as a credit union in 1953 when we were formed as Kaiser Foundation Hospital Employees Federal Credit Union. The credit union initially served the employees of the Kaiser Foundation Hospital in Los Angeles, California. As the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program evolved so did the credit union and in 1972 it changed its name to Kaiser Permanente Federal Credit Union. The credit union grew to primarily serve Kaiser employees and physicians who worked or lived in California between the Mexican border in the south and San Francisco County to the north. The credit union serviced members with two branches, Pasadena and Santa Clara and a network of 30 ATMs primarily located in Kaiser medical centers. However, as a credit union, the credit union was legally restricted to serve only individuals who shared a "common bond" such as a common employer. After receiving the necessary regulatory and membership approvals, on November 1, 1999, Kaiser Permanente Federal Credit Union converted to a federal mutual savings association known as Kaiser Federal Bank which serves the general public as well as Kaiser employees. 2 On July 1, 2003, we completed our conversion from a federal mutual savings association to a federal stock savings association in conjunction with the mutual holding company reorganization. Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those funds primarily in permanent loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences and to a lesser extent, multi-family residential loans and commercial real estate loans. We also originate automobile and other consumer loans. Historically, we have not made commercial business loans or construction loans. We obtain loans through our staff, as well as through advertising in various publications. Our revenues are derived principally from interest on loans and mortgage-backed and related securities. We also generate revenue from service charges and other income. We offer a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms, which generally include savings accounts, money market accounts, demand deposit accounts and time deposit accounts with varied terms ranging from 90 days to five years. We solicit deposits in our primary market area of San Diego, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Santa Clara Counties, California. Available Information Our Internet address is www.k-fed.com. We make available free of charge, through our web site, annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. All SEC filings of the Company are also available at the SEC's website, www.sec.gov. Market Area Our expansive market area provides a large, increasing base of potential customers with per capita income levels favorable to the national average. Los Angeles County's economy has improved dramatically since the mid 1990's as a result of extensive overhauling and restructuring of the region's basic economic sectors. This base consists of a diversified mix of high-technology commercial endeavors, by-products of the defense related industries, which capitalized on the highly educated and skilled labor force. Emerging growth areas include telecommunications, electronics, computers, software and biomedical technologies as well as international trade. The western portion of the San Bernardino and Riverside Counties are adjacent to higher housing cost areas of Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego Counties and are a magnet for new residents seeking affordable housing as well as many local business operations. Manufacturing, transportation and distribution companies provide thousands of jobs in this area. Santa Clara County is in the "Silicon Valley" where high technology industries have down sized. However, the per capita income well exceeds the state and national average. Competition We face strong competition in originating real estate and other loans and in attracting deposits. Competition in originating real estate loans comes primarily from other savings 3 institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and mortgage bankers. Other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and finance companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending. We also face competition from other lenders and investors with respect to loans that we purchase. We attract all of our deposits through our branch and ATM network. Competition for those deposits is principally from other savings institutions, commercial banks and credit unions, as well as mutual funds and other alternative investments. We compete for these deposits by offering superior service and a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates. As of June 30, 2004, we believe that we hold less than 0.14% of the deposits in our primary market area. Lending Activities General. We originate and purchase one- to four-family and multi-family residential loans and to a lesser extent we originate and purchase commercial real estate loans. We also originate consumer loans, primarily automobile loans. Our loans carry either a fixed or an adjustable rate of interest. Consumer loans are generally short term and amortize monthly or have interest payable monthly. Mortgage loans generally have a longer term amortization, with maturities up to 30 years, depending upon the type of property with principal and interest due each month. We also have loans in our portfolio that require only interest payments on a monthly basis. At June 30, 2004, our net loan portfolio totaled $496.2 million, which constituted 84.9% of our total assets. Approximately 61% of our loan portfolio consists of purchased loans. We underwrite each purchased loan, however, in accordance with our underwriting standards. At June 30, 2004, the maximum amount which we could have loaned to any one borrower and the borrower's related entities under applicable regulations was $9.6 million. At June 30, 2004, we had no loans or group of loans to related borrowers with outstanding balances in excess of this amount. Our five largest lending relationships at June 30, 2004 were as follows: (1) a $1.8 million loan to purchase a 22-unit apartment building, (2) a $1.7 million loan to refinance an office building, (3) a $1.6 million loan to purchase a 24 unit apartment building, (4) a $1.4 million loan to purchase a shopping center, and (5) a $1.4 million loan to refinance a manufacturing facility. 4 The following table presents information concerning the composition of Kaiser Federal Bank's loan portfolio in dollar amounts and in percentages as of the dates indicated.

One- to Four-Family Residential Lending. At June 30, 2004, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans totaled $341.8 million, or 68.8%, of our gross loan portfolio. We generally underwrite our one- to four-family loans based on the applicant's employment and credit history and the appraised value of the subject property. Presently, we lend up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price for one- to four-family residential loans. Should we grant a loan with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80%, we require private mortgage insurance in order to reduce our exposure below 80%. Properties securing our one- to four-family loans are generally appraised by independent fee appraisers approved by the board of directors. We require our borrowers to obtain title and hazard insurance, and flood insurance, if necessary, in an amount not less than the value of the property improvements. We currently retain in our portfolios all single-family loans we originate. Approximately 64.6% of our one- to-four family residential portfolio was purchased within the past fiscal year. We currently originate one- to four-family mortgage loans on a fixed-rate and adjustable-rate basis. Our pricing strategy for mortgage loans includes setting interest rates that are competitive with other local financial institutions and consistent with our internal needs. Adjustable-rate loans are tied to a variety of indices including a rate based on U. S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year and the average of U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year over the previous 12 month period. A majority of our adjustable rate loans carry an initial fixed rate of interest for either three or five years which then converts to an interest rate that is adjusted annually based upon the applicable index. Our home mortgages are structured with a five to thirty year maturity, with amortizations up to a 30 year period. All of our one- to-four family loans originated or purchased are secured by properties located in California. All our real estate loans contain a "due on sale" clause allowing us to declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon the sale of the security property. The loans originated or 9 purchased by us are underwritten and documented pursuant to Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae guidelines. See "- Loan Originations, Purchases, Sales and Repayments." See "- Asset Quality - Non-Performing Assets" and "Asset Quality - Classified Assets." Adjustable rate loan mortgages generally pose different credit risks than fixed-rate loans, primarily because as interest rates rise, the borrower's payment rises, increasing the potential for default. The Company has not experienced significant delinquencies for these loans. However, the majority of these loans have been purchased or originated within the past three years. See " - - Asset Quality - Non-Performing Assets" and " - Classified Assets." At June 30, 2004, our one-to four-family ARM loan portfolio totaled $259.7 million, or 52.3% of our gross loan portfolio. At that date, the fixed-rate one-to-four-family mortgage loan portfolio totaled $82.1 million, or 16.5% of the Company's gross loan portfolio. In addition, the Company has purchased adjustable-rate interest-only mortgage loans. As of June 30, 2004, the Company's one- to four-family interest-only ARM loans totaled $84.3 million, or 17.0% of our gross loan portfolio. We have no plans to increase the number of interest-only loans held in our loan portfolio at this time. Multi-Family Residential Lending. We also offer multi-family residential loans. These loans are secured by real estate located in our primary market area. At June 30, 2004, multi-family residential loans totaled $72.5 million, or 14.6%, of our gross loan portfolio and $24.0 million of this amount was purchased from other lenders without recourse. Our multi-family residential loans are originated with adjustable interest rates only. We use a number of indices to set the interest rate, including a rate based on the constant maturity of one year U.S. Treasury securities. A majority of our adjustable rate loans carry an initial fixed rate of interest for either three or five years which then converts to an interest rate that is adjusted annually based upon the applicable index. Loan-to-value ratios on our multi-family residential loans do not exceed 75% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. These loans require monthly payments, amortize over a period of up to 30 years and have maximum maturity of 30 years. These loans are secured by properties located in California. We use mortgage bankers and brokers to originate these loans as well as through our staff. We retain some of the multi-family loans we originate, while selling participations in others to manage our exposure to any one borrower. Loans secured by multi-family residential real estate are underwritten based on the income producing potential of the property and the financial strength of the borrower. The net operating income, which is the income derived from the operation of the property less all operating expenses, must be sufficient to cover the payments related to the outstanding debt. We may require an assignment of rents or leases in order to be assured that the cash flow from the project will be used to repay the debt. Appraisals on properties securing multi-family residential loans are performed by independent state licensed fee appraisers approved by the board of directors. See "- Loan Originations, Purchases, Sales and Repayments." Loans secured by multi-family residential properties are generally larger and involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by multi-family residential properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, or if leases are not obtained or renewed, the borrower's ability to repay the loan may be impaired. See "- Asset Quality - Non-Performing Assets." 10 Commercial Real Estate Lending. We offer commercial real estate loans. These loans are secured primarily by small retail establishments, rental properties and small office buildings located in our primary market area. At June 30, 2004, commercial real estate loans totaled $26.9 million, or 5.4%, of our gross loan portfolio. Our largest commercial real estate loan at June 30, 2004, was a $1.7 million loan secured by the real estate. We originate only adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans. The interest rate on these loans is tied to a variety of indices, including a rate based on the constant maturity of one year U.S. Treasury securities. A majority of our adjustable-rate loans carry an initial fixed rate of interest for either three or five years which then converts an interest rate that is adjusted annually based upon the index. Loan-to-value ratios on our commercial real estate loans do not exceed 75% of the appraised value of the property securing the loan. These loans require monthly payments, amortize up to 30 years, have maturities of up to 10 years and carry pre-payment penalties. Loans secured by commercial real estate are underwritten based on the income producing potential of the property, the financial strength of the borrower and any guarantors. The net operating income, which is the income derived from the operation of the property less all operating expenses, must be sufficient to cover the payments related to the outstanding debt. We may require an assignment of rents or leases in order to be assured that the cash flow from the project will be used to repay the debt. Appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate loans are performed by independent state licensed fee appraisers approved by the board of directors. All the properties securing our commercial real estate loans are located in California. See "- Loan Originations, Purchases, Sales and Repayments." Loans secured by commercial real estate properties are generally larger and involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, or if leases are not obtained or renewed, the borrower's ability to repay the loan may be impaired. See "- Asset Quality - Non-Performing Loans." Consumer Loans. Historically, we offered a variety of consumer loans. Currently we only offer loans secured by automobiles or deposits. Consumer loans generally have shorter terms to maturity, which reduces our exposure to changes in interest rates, and carry higher rates of interest than do one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. At June 30, 2004, our consumer loan portfolio, exclusive of automobile loans, totaled $8.1 million, or 1.6%, of our gross loan portfolio. In recent years, our consumer loans, as a percentage of our loan portfolio, has continued to decrease as we have emphasized our real estate loan products. The most significant component of our consumer lending is automobile loans. We originate automobile loans only on a direct basis with the borrower. Loans secured by automobiles totaled $47.4 million at June 30, 2004, or 9.5%, of our gross loan portfolio at June 30, 2004. Automobile loans may be written for up to seven years for new automobiles and a maximum of five years for used automobiles and have fixed rates of interest. Loan to value ratios for automobile loans are up to 100% of the sales price for new automobiles and up to 100% of value on used cars, based on valuation from official used car guides. Consumer loans may entail greater risk than do one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In these cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. As a result, consumer loan collections 11 are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability and, thus, are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. LOAN ORIGINATIONS, PURCHASES, SALES AND REPAYMENTS We originate loans through employees located at our offices. Walk-in customers and referrals from our current customer base, advertisements, real estate brokers, mortgage loan brokers and builders are also important sources of loan originations. While we originate both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans, our ability to originate loans is dependent upon customer demand for loans in our market area. Demand is affected by local competition and the interest rate environment. We also purchase real estate whole loans as well as participation interests in real estate loans. In addition, we sell participation interests in some of our larger real estate loans. We began purchasing one- to four-family real estate loans in January 2001 and multi-family real estate loans in October 2001. We have used 10 different loan brokers in these purchase transactions. As of June 30, 2004, we had participation interests in two commercial real estate loans. All of our other commercial real estate loans have been originated in-house. At June 30, 2004, our real estate loan portfolio totaled $441.2 million or 88.8% of the gross loan portfolio. Purchased real estate loans at June 30, 2004 totaled $300.6 million, or 68.1% of the real estate loan portfolio. 12 The following table shows the loan origination, purchase, sale and repayment activities of Kaiser Federal Bank for the periods indicated, and includes loans originated for both our own portfolio and for sale of participating interests.

Further, a significant concentration of our borrowers resides in California. Although Kaiser Federal Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, borrowers' ability to repay loans may be affected by the economic climate of either the health care industry or the overall geographic region in which the borrowers reside. Because we have a significant amount of real estate loans, decreases in California's real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral. In this regard, at June 30, 2004, the rate of unemployment (not seasonally adjusted) in the State of California was 6.3% with the unemployment rate for the United States at 5.8% In addition, the State 13 of California's newly approved budget includes a spending plan that eliminates a state deficit estimated at the beginning of the calendar year 2004 to be $17.0 billion. These initiatives may require aggressive measures such as reducing state expenditures and other cost-cutting initiatives to meet the budget's objectives. These measures may negatively affect the California economy and Kaiser Federal Bank. When a borrower fails to make a timely payment on a consumer loan, a delinquency notice is sent when the loan is 10 days past due. When the loan is 20 days past due, we mail a subsequent delinquency notice to the borrower. Once a loan is 30 days past due, our staff contacts the borrower by telephone to determine the reason for delinquency and to request payment of the delinquent amount in full or the establishment of an acceptable repayment plan to bring the loan current. If the borrower is unable to make or keep payment arrangements, additional collection action is taken in the form of repossession of collateral for secured loans and small claims or legal action for unsecured loans. For one- to four-family residential, multi-family and commercial real estate loans serviced by us, a delinquency notice is sent to the borrower when the loan is 8 days past due. When the loan is 20 days past due, we mail a subsequent delinquency notice to the borrower. Typically, before the loan becomes 45 days past due, contact with the borrower is made requesting payment of the delinquent amount in full, or the establishment of an acceptable repayment plan to bring the loan current. If an acceptable repayment plan has not been agreed upon, loan personnel will generally prepare a notice of intent to foreclose. The notice of intent to foreclose allows the borrower up to 10 days to bring the account current. Once the loan becomes 60 days delinquent, and an acceptable repayment plan has not been agreed upon, the servicing officer will turn over the account to the deed of trust trustee with instructions to initiate foreclosure. Real estate loans serviced by a third party are subject to the servicing institution's collection policies. However, we track each purchased loan individually to ensure full payments are received as scheduled. Each month, third party servicers are required to provide delinquent loan status reports to our servicing officer, which are included in the month-end delinquent real estate report to management. Contractually, third party servicers are required to adhere to collection policies no less stringent than our policies. DELINQUENT LOANS. The following table sets forth our loans delinquent 60 to 89 days and over 89 days past due by type, number, amount and percentage of type at June 30, 2004.

The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in our loan portfolio. Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days and more and foreclosed assets. Loans to a customer whose financial condition has deteriorated are considered for non-accrual status whether or not the loan is 90 days and over past due. Generally, all loans past due 90 days and over are classified as non-accrual. On non-accrual loans, interest income is not recognized until actually collected. At the time the loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed and charged against current income. Foreclosed assets consist of real estate and other assets which have been acquired through foreclosure on loans. At the time of foreclosure, assets are recorded at the lower of their estimated fair value less selling costs or the loan balance, with any write-down charged against the allowance for loan losses. At all dates presented, we had no troubled debt restructurings which involve forgiving a portion of interest or principal on any loans or making loans at a rate materially less than that of market rates.

CLASSIFIED ASSETS. Regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered by regulators to be of lesser quality, as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss." An asset is considered "substandard" if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. "Substandard" assets include those characterized by the "distinct possibility" that the insured institution will sustain "some loss" if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as "doubtful" have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified "substandard," with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation in full," on the basis of 15 currently existing facts, conditions, and values, "highly questionable and improbable." Assets classified as "loss" are those considered "uncollectible" and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management and approved by the board of directors. General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as "loss," it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge off such amount. An institution's determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC, which may order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances. In connection with the filing of our periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and in accordance with our classification of assets policy, we regularly review the problem assets in our portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. The total amount of classified assets represented 2.6% of our equity capital and 0.4% of our total assets at June 30, 2004. The aggregate amount of our classified assets at the dates indicated were as follows: AT JUNE 30, ------------------------ 2004 2003 ----------- ----------- (Dollars in Thousands) Classified Assets: Loss...................... $ 85 $ 83 Doubtful.................. 968 1,304 Substandard............... 858 407 Special Mention........... 422 353 ----------- ----------- Total.................... $ 2,333 $ 2,147 =========== =========== ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES. We maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, which include loss ratio analysis by type of loan and specific allowances for identified problem loans. In addition, the allowance incorporates the results of measuring impaired loans as provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." These accounting standards prescribe the measurement methods, income recognition and disclosures related to impaired loans. The formula allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans based on the internal risk evaluation of the loans or pools of loans. Changes in risk evaluations of both performing and nonperforming loans affect the amount of the formula allowance. Loss factors are based both on our historical loss experience as well as on significant factors that, in management's judgment, affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. 16 The appropriateness of the allowance is reviewed and established by management based upon its evaluation of then-existing economic and business conditions affecting our key lending areas and other conditions, such as credit quality trends (including trends in nonperforming loans expected to result from existing conditions), collateral values, loan volumes and concentrations, specific industry conditions within portfolio segments and recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio that existed as of the balance sheet date and the impact that such conditions were believed to have had on the collectibility of the loan. Senior management reviews these conditions quarterly in discussions with our senior credit officers. To the extent that any of these conditions is evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management's estimate of the effect of such condition may be reflected as a specific allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio segment. Where any of these conditions is not evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management's evaluation of the loss related to this condition is reflected in the unallocated allowance. The evaluation of the inherent loss with respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments. Management also evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based on a review of individual loans, historical loan loss experience, the value and adequacy of collateral, and economic conditions in our market area. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. For all specifically reviewed loans for which it is probable that Kaiser Federal Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of the loan agreement, Kaiser Federal Bank determines impairment by computing a fair value either based on discounted cash flows using the loan's initial interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and are excluded from specific impairment evaluation, and their allowance for loan losses is calculated in accordance with the allowance for loan losses policy described above. Because the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates of losses inherent in the loan portfolio, actual losses can vary significantly from the estimated amounts. Our methodology as described permits adjustments to any loss factor used in the computation of the formula allowance in the event that, in management's judgment, significant factors which affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date are not reflected in the loss factors. By assessing the estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis, we are able to adjust specific and inherent loss estimates based upon any more recent information that has become available. In addition, management's determination as to the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC, which may require the establishment of additional general or specific allowances based upon their judgment of the information available to them at the time of their examination of Kaiser Federal Bank. At June 30, 2004, our allowance for loan losses was $2.3 million or 0.5% of the total loan portfolio and 2,839.0% of total non-performing loans. Assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective as it requires making material estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans, that may be susceptible to significant change. In the opinion of management, the allowance, when taken as a whole, is at an amount that will absorb probable loan losses inherent in our loan portfolios. 17 The following sets forth an analysis of our allowance for loan losses.

We are required by federal regulations to maintain an amount of liquid assets in order to meet our liquidity needs. These assets consist of certain specified securities. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Commitments." Cash flow projections are regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity is provided. As of June 30, 2004, our liquidity ratio (liquid assets as a percentage of net withdrawable savings and current borrowings) was 33.4%. We are authorized to invest in various types of liquid assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies, certain certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers' acceptances, repurchase agreements and federal funds. Subject to various restrictions, federal savings associations may also invest their assets in investment grade commercial paper and corporate debt securities and mutual funds whose assets conform to the investments that a federally chartered savings association is otherwise authorized to make directly. See "How We Are Regulated - - Kaiser Federal Bank" for a discussion of additional restrictions on our investment activities. Under the direction and guidance of the Investment/Asset and Liability Management Committee and board policy, our president has the basic responsibility for the management of our investment portfolio. Various factors are considered when making decisions, including the marketability, maturity and tax consequences of the proposed investment. The maturity structure of investments will be affected by various market conditions, including the current and anticipated short and long term interest rates, the level of interest rates, the trend of new deposit inflows, and the anticipated demand for funds via deposit withdrawals and loan originations and purchases. The current structure of our investment portfolio provides liquidity when loan demand is high, assists in maintaining earnings when loan demand is low and maximizes earnings while satisfactorily managing risk, including credit risk, reinvestment risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. See "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk - Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk." At June 30, 2004, our investment portfolio totaled $62.4 million and consisted principally of collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities, and U.S. agency obligations. From time to time, investment levels may increase or decrease depending upon yields available on investment alternatives and management's projected demand for funds for loan originations, deposits, and other activities. MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES. Our mortgage-backed securities had a fair value of $11.6 million and a $11.8 million amortized cost at June 30, 2004. The mortgage-backed securities were comprised of Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities. At June 30, 2004, the portfolio had a weighted-average coupon rate of 4.1% and an estimated weighted-average-yield of 3.3%. These securities had an estimated average maturity of 8.3 years and an estimated average life of 3.0 years at June 30, 2004. U.S. AGENCY OBLIGATIONS. Our portfolio of U.S. agency obligations had a fair value of $20.9 million and a $21.0 million amortized cost at June 30, 2004. At June 30, 2004, the portfolio had a weighted-average-coupon and a weighted-average-yield of 2.8%. All U.S. agency obligations have call provisions. The longest term call provision was on a bond with an amortized cost of $5.0 million, a one-time call of 0.4 years, and a final maturity of 2.4 years. 20 COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS. Our portfolio of collateralized mortgage obligations had a fair value of $29.4 million and a $29.9 million amortized cost at June 30, 2004. At June 30, 2004 the portfolio had a weighted-average-coupon of 4.5% and a weighted-average-yield of 4.1%. These securities had an estimated average maturity of 21.1 years and an estimated average life of 3.6 years at June 30, 2004. We invest in collateralized mortgage obligations as an alternative to mortgage loans and conventional mortgage-backed securities as part of our asset liability management strategy. Management believes that collateralized mortgage obligations represent attractive investment alternatives relative to other investments due to the wide variety of maturity and repayment options available through such investments. In particular, we have, from time to time, concluded that short and intermediate and long duration collateralized mortgage obligations (with an expected average life of five to ten years or less) represent a better combination of rate and duration than adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities. Because our collateralized mortgage obligations are purchased as an alternative to mortgage loans and because we have the ability and intent to hold such securities to maturity, all such securities are classified as held-to-maturity. All of our collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by either Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. In contrast to mortgage-backed pass-through securities in which cash flow is received (and, hence, prepayment risk is shared) pro rata by all securities holders, the cash flows from the mortgages or mortgage-backed securities underlying collateralized mortgage obligations are segmented and paid in accordance with a predetermined priority to investors holding various tranches of such securities or obligations. A particular tranche of a collateralized mortgage obligations may therefore carry prepayment risk that differs from that of both the underlying collateral and other tranches. It is our strategy to purchase tranches of collateralized mortgage obligations with expected shorter term duration and are intended to produce stable cash flows in different interest rate environments. However, interest rate changes may affect the duration of these securities. To assess price volatility, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council adopted a policy which requires an annual "stress" test of mortgage derivative securities. This policy, which has been adopted by the Office of Thrift Supervision, requires us to annually test our collateralized mortgage obligations and other mortgage-related securities to determine whether they are high-risk or non high-risk securities. Mortgage derivative products with an average life or price volatility in excess of a benchmark 30-year mortgage-backed pass-through security are considered high-risk mortgage securities. Under the policy, savings institutions, such as Kaiser Federal Bank, may invest in high-risk mortgage securities only to reduce interest rate risk. In accordance with our policy, we do not invest in securities classified as high-risk at the time of purchase. However, as of June 30, 2004, we had $17.9 million in high risk securities as a result of changes in market interest rates. 21 The following table sets forth the composition of our investment portfolio at the dates indicated.

As a result of these factors, the estimated average lives of these securities will be shorter than the contractual maturities as shown on the following table. 22 The composition and maturities of the investment securities portfolio as of June 30, 2004, are as follows: AT JUNE 30, 2004 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WEIGHTED AFTER ONE WEIGHTED AFTER FIVE WEIGHTED ONE YEAR AVERAGE YEAR THROUGH AVERAGE YEARS THROUGH AVERAGE AFTER TEN OR LESS YIELD FIVE YEARS YIELD TEN YEARS YIELD YEARS ------------- ----------- -------------- ----------- ------------- ----------- ----------- (Dollars in Thousands) U.S. Government Agency obligations....... $ - -% $ 20,890 2.76% $ - -% $ - Mortgage-backed securities............... - - 8,163 3.20 1,950 3.86 1,496 Collateralized mortgage obligations...... - - - - - - 29,865 ------------- ----------- -------------- ----------- ------------- ----------- ----------- Total investment securities.............. $ - -% 29,053 2.88% 1,950 3.86% 31,361 ============= =========== ============== =========== ============= =========== =========== (CONTINUED) AT JUNE 30, 2004 --------------------------------------- WEIGHTED WEIGHTED AVERAGE BALANCE AS OF AVERAGE YIELD JUNE 30, 2004 YIELD ----------- --------------- ----------- (Dollars in Thousands) U.S. Government Agency obligations....... -% $ 20,890 2.76% Mortgage-backed securities............... 2.81 11,609 3.26 Collateralized mortgage obligations...... 4.07 29,865 4.07 ----------- --------------- ----------- Total investment securities.............. 4.01% $ 62,364 3.47% =========== =============== =========== FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, we are required to own capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. The amount of stock we hold is based on percentages specified by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco on our outstanding advances and the requirements of their Mortgage Purchase Program. The redemption of any excess stock we hold is at the discretion of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco stock totaled $3.3 million and had a weighted-average-yield of 3.9% for the year ended June 30, 2004. The yield on the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco stock is produced by stock dividends, that are subject to the discretion of the board of directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. EQUITY INVESTMENT. We also had an approximate 20% investment in a limited liability partnership, which builds and operates affordable housing projects located in Northern California. We purchased the investment for approximately $2.7 million during the year ended June 30, 2004. The investment is being accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The investment is evaluated periodically for impairment based on the remaining allocable tax credits. SOURCES OF FUNDS GENERAL. Our sources of funds are deposits, payment of principal and interest on loans, interest earned on or maturation of other investment securities, borrowings, and funds provided from operations. DEPOSITS. We offer a variety of deposit accounts to consumers with a wide range of interest rates and terms. Our deposits consist of time deposit accounts, savings, money market and demand deposit accounts. We have historically paid competitive rates on our deposit accounts. We primarily rely on competitive pricing policies, marketing and customer service to attract and retain these deposits. Approximately 37.3% of our deposits are from customers who are employed by the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program. The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market and prevailing interest rates and bi-weekly direct deposits from Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program payrolls. The variety of deposit accounts we offer has allowed us to be competitive in obtaining funds and to respond with flexibility to changes in consumer demand. We have become more susceptible to short-term fluctuations in deposit flows, as customers have become more interest rate conscious. We try to manage the pricing of our deposits in keeping with our asset/liability management, liquidity and profitability objectives, subject to competitive factors. Based on our experience, we believe that our deposits are relatively stable sources of funds. Despite this stability, our ability to attract and maintain these deposits and the rates paid on them has been and will continue to be significantly affected by market conditions. 23 The following table sets forth our deposit flows during the periods indicated.

Although deposits are our primary source of funds, we may utilize borrowings when they are a less costly source of funds, and can be invested at a positive interest rate spread, when we desire additional capacity to purchase loans or to fund loan demand or when they meet our asset/liability management goals. Our borrowings historically have consisted of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. See Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco upon the security of our mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. These advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate, range of maturities and call features. At June 30, 2004, we had $70.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding. 25 The following table sets forth information as to our Federal Home Loan Bank advances for the periods indicated AT OR FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30 ----------------------------------------- 2004 2003 2002 ----------------------------------------- (Dollars in Thousands) Average balance outstanding.......................... $ 51,538 $ 34,972 $ 2,615 Maximum month-end balance............................ 70,000 50,000 13,000 Balance at end of period............................. 70,000 50,000 2,000 Weighted average interest rate during the period..... 2.92% 2.97% 1.23% Weighted average interest rate at end of period...... 2.50% 3.00% 1.17% EMPLOYEES At June 30, 2004, we had a total of 90 employees, including 15 part-time employees.

HOW WE ARE REGULATED Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws and regulations which are applicable to K-Fed Bancorp and Kaiser Federal Bank. The description of these laws and regulations, as well as descriptions of laws and regulations contained elsewhere herein, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable laws and regulations. Legislation is introduced from time to time in the United States Congress that may affect the operations of K-Fed Bancorp and Kaiser Federal Bank. In addition, the regulations governing K-Fed Bancorp and Kaiser Federal Bank may be amended from time to time by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Any such legislation or regulatory changes in the future could adversely affect K-Fed Bancorp or Kaiser Federal Bank. No assurance can be given as to whether or in what form any such changes may occur. GENERAL Kaiser Federal Bank, as a federally-chartered savings institution, is subject to federal regulation and oversight by the Office of Thrift Supervision extending to all aspects of its operations. Kaiser Federal Bank also is subject to regulation by the FDIC, which insures the deposits of Kaiser Federal Bank to the maximum extent permitted by law, and requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board. Federally chartered savings institutions are required to file periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and are subject to periodic examinations by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC. The investment and lending authority of savings institutions are prescribed by federal laws and regulations, and such institutions are prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws and regulations. Such regulation and supervision primarily is intended for the protection of depositors and not for the purpose of protecting stockholders. The Office of Thrift Supervision regularly examines Kaiser Federal Bank and prepares reports for the consideration of Kaiser Federal Bank's board of directors on any deficiencies that it may find in Kaiser 26 Federal Bank's operations. Kaiser Federal Bank's relationship with its depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by both federal and state laws, especially in such matters as the ownership of savings accounts and the form and content of Kaiser Federal Bank's mortgage requirements. Any change in such regulations, whether by the FDIC, the Office of Thrift Supervision or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on K-Fed Bancorp and Kaiser Federal Bank and their operations. K-FED BANCORP GENERAL. K-Fed Bancorp is a federal mutual holding company subsidiary within the meaning of Section 10(o) of the Home Owners' Loan Act. It is required to file reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and is subject to regulation and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision has enforcement authority over K-Fed Bancorp and any non-savings institution subsidiaries. This permits the Office of Thrift Supervision to restrict or prohibit activities that it determines to be a serious risk to Kaiser Federal Bank. This regulation is intended primarily for the protection of the depositors and not for the benefit of stockholders of K-Fed Bancorp. ACTIVITIES RESTRICTIONS. K-Fed Bancorp and its non-savings institution subsidiaries are subject to statutory and regulatory restrictions on their business activities specified by federal regulations, which include performing services and holding properties used by a savings institution subsidiary, activities authorized for savings and loan holding companies as of March 5, 1987, and non-banking activities permissible for bank holding companies pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 or authorized for financial holding companies pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. If Kaiser Federal Bank fails the qualified thrift lender test, K-Fed Bancorp must, within one year of that failure, register as, and will become subject to, the restrictions applicable to bank holding companies. See "- Qualified Thrift Lender Test." WAIVERS OF DIVIDENDS BY K-FED BANCORP. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations require K-Fed Mutual Holding Company to notify the Office of Thrift Supervision of any proposed waiver of its receipt of dividends from K-Fed Bancorp. The Office of Thrift Supervision reviews dividend waiver notices on a case-by-case basis, and, in general, does not object to any such waiver if: (i) the mutual holding company's board of directors determines that such waiver is consistent with such directors' fiduciary duties to the mutual holding company's members; (ii) for as long as the savings association subsidiary is controlled by the mutual holding company, the dollar amount of dividends waived by the mutual holding company are considered as a restriction on the retained earnings of the savings association, which restriction, if material, is disclosed in the public financial statements of the savings association and its stock holding company; (iii) the amount of any dividend waived by the mutual holding company is available for declaration as a dividend solely to the mutual holding company, in accordance with SFAS No. 5, where the savings association determines that the payment of such dividend to the mutual holding company is probable, an appropriate dollar amount is recorded as a liability; and (iv) the amount of any waived dividend is considered as having been paid by the savings association in evaluating any proposed dividend under Office of Thrift Supervision capital distribution regulations. We anticipate that K-Fed Mutual Holding Company will waive dividends paid by K-Fed Bancorp, if any. Under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, our public stockholders would not be diluted because of any dividends waived by K-Fed Mutual Holding Company (and waived dividends would not be considered in determining an appropriate exchange ratio) in the event K-Fed Mutual Holding Company converts to stock form. 27 CONVERSION OF K-FED MUTUAL HOLDING COMPANY TO STOCK FORM. The Office of Thrift Supervision regulations permit K-Fed Mutual Holding Company to convert from the mutual form of organization to the capital stock form of organization (a "Conversion Transaction"). There can be no assurance when, if ever, a Conversion Transaction will occur, and the board of directors has no current intention or plan to undertake a Conversion Transaction. In a Conversion Transaction a new holding company would be formed as the successor to K-Fed Bancorp (the "New Holding Company"), K-Fed Mutual Holding Company's corporate existence would end, and certain depositors of Kaiser Federal Bank would receive the right to subscribe for additional shares of the New Holding Company. In a Conversion Transaction, each share of common stock held by stockholders other than K-Fed Mutual Holding Company ("Minority Stockholders") would be automatically converted into a number of shares of common stock in the New Holding Company determined pursuant to an exchange ratio that ensures that the Minority Stockholders own the same percentage of common stock in the New Holding Company as they owned in K-Fed Bancorp immediately prior to the Conversation Transaction. Under Officer of Thrift Supervision regulations, Minority Stockholders would not be diluted because of any dividends waived by K-Fed Mutual Holding Company (and waived dividends would not be considered in determining an appropriate exchange ratio), if K-Fed Mutual Holding Company converts to stock form. The total number of shares held by Minority Stockholders after a Conversion Transaction also would be increased by any purchases by Minority Stockholders in the stock offering conducted as part of the Conversion Transaction. A Conversion Transaction requires the approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision as well as a majority of the votes eligible to be cast by the members of K-Fed Mutual Holding Company and a majority of the votes eligible to be cast by the stockholders of K-Fed Bancorp other than K-Fed Mutual Holding Company. KAISER FEDERAL BANK The Office of Thrift Supervision has extensive authority over the operations of savings institutions. As part of this authority, Kaiser Federal Bank is required to file periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and is subject to periodic examinations by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC. When these examinations are conducted by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC, the examiners may require Kaiser Federal Bank to provide for higher general or specific loan loss reserves. All savings institutions are subject to a semi-annual assessment, based upon the savings institution's total assets, to fund the operations of the Office of Thrift Supervision. The Office of Thrift Supervision also has extensive enforcement authority over all savings institutions and their holding companies, including Kaiser Federal Bank and K-Fed Bancorp. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision. Except under certain circumstances, public disclosure of final enforcement actions by the Office of Thrift Supervision is required. 28 In addition, the investment, lending and branching authority of Kaiser Federal Bank is prescribed by federal laws and it is prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws. For instance, no savings institution may invest in non-investment grade corporate debt securities. In addition, the permissible level of investment by federal institutions in loans secured by non-residential real property may not exceed 400% of total capital, except with approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Federal savings institutions are also generally authorized to branch nationwide. Kaiser Federal Bank is in compliance with the noted restrictions. Kaiser Federal Bank's general permissible lending limit for loans-to-one-borrower is equal to the greater of $500,000 or 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus (except for loans fully secured by certain readily marketable collateral, in which case this limit is increased to 25% of unimpaired capital and surplus). At June 30, 2004 Kaiser Federal Bank's lending limit under this restriction was $9.6 million. Kaiser Federal Bank is in compliance with the loans-to-one-borrower limitation. The Office of Thrift Supervision, as well as the other federal banking agencies, has adopted guidelines establishing safety and soundness standards on such matters as loan underwriting and documentation, asset quality, earnings standards, internal controls and audit systems, interest rate risk exposure and compensation and other employee benefits. Any institution which fails to comply with these standards must submit a compliance plan. INSURANCE OF ACCOUNTS AND REGULATION BY THE FDIC Kaiser Federal Bank is a member of the Savings Association Insurance Fund, which is administered by the FDIC. Deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the FDIC and such insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. As insurer, the FDIC imposes deposit insurance premiums and is authorized to conduct examinations of and to require reporting by FDIC-insured institutions. It also may prohibit any FDIC-insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious risk to the Savings Association Insurance Fund. The FDIC also has the authority to initiate enforcement actions against savings institutions, after giving the Office of Thrift Supervision an opportunity to take such action, and may terminate the deposit insurance if it determines that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS Federally insured savings institutions, such as Kaiser Federal Bank, are required to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital. The Office of Thrift Supervision has established capital standards, including a tangible capital requirement, a leverage ratio or core capital requirement and a risk-based capital requirement applicable to such savings institutions. These capital requirements must be generally as stringent as the comparable capital requirements for national banks. The Office of Thrift Supervision is also authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual institutions on a case-by-case basis. The capital regulations require tangible capital of at least 1.50% of adjusted total assets, as defined by regulation. Tangible capital generally includes common stockholders' equity and retained income, and certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related income. In addition, all intangible assets, other than a limited amount of purchased mortgage servicing rights, must be deducted from tangible capital for 29 calculating compliance with the requirement. At June 30, 2004, Kaiser Federal Bank had no intangible assets. At June 30, 2004, Kaiser Federal Bank had tangible capital of $61.6 million, or 11.05% of adjusted total assets, which is approximately $53.2 million above the minimum requirement of 1.50% of adjusted total assets in effect on that date. The capital standards also require core capital equal to at least 4.00% of adjusted total assets unless its supervisory condition is such to allow it to maintain a 3.00% ratio. Core capital generally consists of tangible capital plus certain intangible assets, including a limited amount of purchased credit card relationships. At June 30, 2004, Kaiser Federal Bank had no intangibles which were subject to these tests. At June 30, 2004, Kaiser Federal Bank had core capital equal to $61.6 million, or 11.05% of adjusted total assets, which is $39.3 million above the minimum requirement of 4.00% in effect on that date. The Office of Thrift Supervision also requires savings institutions to have core capital equal to 4.00% of risk-weighted assets ("Tier 1 Risk-Based"). At June 30, 2004, Kaiser Federal Bank had Tier 1 risk-based capital of $61.6 or 17.95% of risk-weighted assets, which is approximately $47.9 million above the minimum on such date. The Office of Thrift Supervision also requires savings institutions to have total capital of at least 8.00% of risk-weighted assets. Total capital consists of core capital, as defined above, and supplementary capital. Supplementary capital consists of certain permanent and maturing capital instruments that do not qualify as core capital and general valuation loan and lease loss allowances up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Supplementary capital may be used to satisfy the risk-based requirement only to the extent of core capital. The Office of Thrift Supervision is also authorized to require a savings institution to maintain an additional amount of total capital to account for concentration of credit risk and the risk of non-traditional activities. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, will be multiplied by a risk weight, ranging from 0% to 100%, based on the risk inherent in the type of asset. For example, the Office of Thrift Supervision has assigned a risk weight of 50% for prudently underwritten permanent one- to four-family first lien mortgage loans not more than 90 days delinquent and having a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 80% at origination unless insured to such ratio by an insurer approved by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. On June 30, 2004, Kaiser Federal Bank had total risk-based capital of $63.9 million and risk-weighted assets of $343.1 million; or total capital of 18.63% of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $36.5 million above the 8.00% requirement in effect on that date. The Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC are authorized and, under certain circumstances, required to take certain actions against savings institutions that fail to meet their capital requirements. The Office of Thrift Supervision is generally required to take action to restrict the activities of an "undercapitalized institution," which is an institution with less than either a 4.00% core capital ratio, a 4.00% Tier 1 risked-based capital ratio or an 8.00% risk-based capital ratio. Any such institution must submit a capital restoration plan and until the plan is approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision, may not increase its assets, acquire another institution, establish a branch or engage in any new activities, and generally may not make capital distributions. The Office of Thrift Supervision is authorized to impose the additional restrictions that are applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions. 30 As a condition to the approval of the capital restoration plan, any company controlling an undercapitalized institution must agree that it will enter into a limited capital maintenance guarantee with respect to the institution's achievement of its capital requirements. Any savings institution that fails to comply with its capital plan or has Tier 1 risk-based or core capital ratios of less than 3.00% or a risk-based capital ratio of less than 6.00% and is considered "significantly undercapitalized" will be made subject to one or more additional specified actions and operating restrictions which may cover all aspects of its operations and may include a forced merger or acquisition of the institution. An institution that becomes "critically undercapitalized" because it has a tangible capital ratio of 2.00% or less is subject to further mandatory restrictions on its activities in addition to those applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision must appoint a receiver, or conservator with the concurrence of the FDIC, for a savings institution, with certain limited exceptions, within 90 days after it becomes critically undercapitalized. Any undercapitalized institution is also subject to the general enforcement authority of the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC, including the appointment of a conservator or a receiver. The Office of Thrift Supervision is also generally authorized to reclassify an institution into a lower capital category and impose the restrictions applicable to such category if the institution is engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition. LIMITATIONS ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS Office of Thrift Supervision regulations impose various restrictions on savings institutions with respect to their ability to make distributions of capital, which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers and other transactions charged to the capital account. Generally, savings institutions, such as Kaiser Federal Bank, that before and after the proposed distribution are well-capitalized, may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to the greater of 100% of net income for the year-to-date plus retained net income for the two preceding years. However, an institution deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision may have its dividend authority restricted by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Kaiser Federal Bank may pay dividends to K-Fed Bancorp in accordance with this general authority. Savings institutions proposing to make any capital distribution need not submit written notice to the Office of Thrift Supervision prior to such distribution unless they are a subsidiary of a holding company or would not remain well-capitalized following the distribution. Savings institutions that do not, or would not meet their current minimum capital requirements following a proposed capital distribution or propose to exceed these net income limitations, must obtain Office of Thrift Supervision approval prior to making such distribution. The Office of Thrift Supervision may object to the distribution during that 30-day period based on safety and soundness concerns. See "- Regulatory Capital Requirements." LIQUIDITY All savings institutions, including Kaiser Federal Bank, are required to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure a safe and sound operation. 31 QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER TEST All savings institutions, including Kaiser Federal Bank, are required to meet a qualified thrift lender test to avoid certain restrictions on their operations. This test requires a savings institution to have at least 65% of its portfolio assets, as defined by regulation, in qualified thrift investments on a monthly average for nine out of every 12 months on a rolling basis. As an alternative, the savings institution may maintain 60% of its assets in those assets specified in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under either test, such assets primarily consist of residential housing related loans and investments. At June 30, 2004 Kaiser Federal Bank met the test with a 99.6%, ratio and has always met the test since its effectiveness. Any savings institution that fails to meet the qualified thrift lender test must convert to a national bank charter, unless it requalifies as a qualified thrift lender within one year of failure and thereafter remains a qualified thrift lender. If such an institution has not yet requalified or converted to a national bank, its new investments and activities are limited to those permissible for both a savings institution and a national bank, and it is limited to national bank branching rights in its home state. In addition, the institution is immediately ineligible to receive any new Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and is subject to national bank limits for payment of dividends. If such an institution has not requalified or converted to a national bank within three years after the failure, it must divest of all investments and cease all activities not permissible for a national bank. If any institution that fails the qualified thrift lender test is controlled by a holding company, then within one year after the failure, the holding company must register as a bank holding company and become subject to all restrictions on bank holding companies. COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT Under the Community Reinvestment Act, every FDIC-insured institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with safe and sound banking practices to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The Community Reinvestment Act does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution's discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act requires the Office of Thrift Supervision, in connection with the examination of Kaiser Federal Bank, to assess the institution's record of meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such record into account in its evaluation of certain applications, such as a merger or the establishment of a branch, by Kaiser Federal Bank. An unsatisfactory rating may be used as the basis for the denial of an application by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Due to the heightened attention being given to the Community Reinvestment Act in the past few years, Kaiser Federal Bank may be required to devote additional funds for investment and lending in its local community. Kaiser Federal Bank was examined for Community Reinvestment Act compliance and received a rating of satisfactory in its latest examination. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Generally, transactions between a savings institution or its subsidiaries and its affiliates are required to be on terms as favorable to the institution as transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain of these transactions, such as loans to an affiliate, are restricted to a percentage of the institution's capital. Affiliates of Kaiser Federal Bank include K-Fed Bancorp and any company which is under common control with Kaiser Federal Bank. In addition, a savings institution may not lend to any affiliate engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding company or acquire the securities of most affiliates. The Office of Thrift Supervision has the discretion to treat subsidiaries of savings institutions as affiliates on a case by case basis. 32 On April 1, 2003, the Federal Reserve's Regulation W, which comprehensively interprets sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, became effective. The Federal Reserve Act and Regulation W are applicable to savings associations such as Kaiser Federal Bank. The regulation unifies and updates staff interpretations issued over the years, incorporates several new interpretative proposals (such as to clarify when transactions with an unrelated third party will be attributed to an affiliate), and addresses new issues arising as a result of the expanded scope of nonbanking activities engaged in by banks and bank holding companies in recent years and authorized for financial holding companies under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision regulations prohibit a savings institution from lending to any of its affiliates that is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and from purchasing the securities of any affiliate, other than a subsidiary. Certain transactions with directors, officers or controlling persons are also subject to conflict of interest regulations enforced by the Office of Thrift Supervision. These conflict of interest regulations and other statutes also impose restrictions on loans to such persons and their related interests. Among other things, such loans must generally be made on terms substantially the same as for loans to unaffiliated individuals. FEDERAL SECURITIES LAW The stock of K-Fed Bancorp is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. K-Fed Bancorp is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements of the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. K-Fed Bancorp stock held by persons who are affiliates of K-Fed Bancorp may not be resold without registration unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. Affiliates are generally considered to be officers, directors and principal stockholders. If K-Fed Bancorp meets specified current public information requirements, each affiliate of K-Fed Bancorp will be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month period. USA PATRIOT Act In response to the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, the President of the United States signed into law the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, or the USA PATRIOT Act, on October 26, 2001. The USA PATRIOT Act, which augmented existing anti-money laundering laws, gives the federal government new powers to address terrorist threats through enhanced domestic security measures, expanded surveillance powers, increased information sharing and broadened anti-money laundering requirements. Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act takes measures intended to encourage information sharing among bank regulatory agencies and law enforcement bodies. Further, certain provisions of Title III impose affirmative obligations on a broad range of financial institutions. Among other requirements, Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act imposes the following requirements: o Financial institutions must establish anti-money laundering programs that include: (i) internal policies, procedures, and controls; (ii) specific designation of an anti-money laundering compliance officer; (iii) ongoing employee training programs; and (iv) an independent audit function to test the anti-money laundering program. 33 o Financial institutions that establish, maintain, administer, or manage private banking accounts or correspondent accounts in the United States for non-United States persons or their representatives must establish appropriate, specific, and, where necessary, enhance due diligence policies, procedures, and controls designed to detect and report money laundering. o Financial institutions are prohibited from establishing, maintaining, administering or managing correspondent accounts for foreign banks that do not have a physical presence in any country and will be subject to certain recordkeeping obligations with respect to correspondent accounts of foreign banks. o Bank regulators must consider a holding company's effectiveness in combating money laundering when ruling on Federal Reserve Act and Bank Merger Act applications. Our policies and procedures have been updated to reflect the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act. No significant changes in our business or customer practices were required as a result of the implementation of these requirements. PRIVACY Federal banking rules limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose non-public information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. Pursuant to these rules, financial institutions must provide: o initial notices to customers about their privacy policies, describing the conditions under which they may disclose nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties and affiliates; o annual notices of their privacy policies to current customers; and o a reasonable method for customers to "opt out" of disclosures to nonaffiliated third parties. These privacy provisions affect how consumer information is transmitted through diversified financial companies and conveyed to outside vendors. The Company has implemented our privacy policies in accordance with the law. In recent years, a number of states have implemented their own versions of privacy laws. For example, in 2003, California adopted standards that are more stringent than federal law, allowing bank customers the opportunity to bar financial companies from sharing information with their affiliates. On December 22, 2003, the SEC issued the advance notice of proposed rulemaking along with the federal banking agencies and other government agencies seeking comment on whether they should consider amending current regulations "to allow or require financial institutions to provide alternative types of privacy notices, such as a short privacy notice, that would be easier for consumers to understand." The concept release lists more than 40 questions on which the agencies sought comment from the public, organized in the following categories: goals of a privacy notice, elements of a privacy notice, language of a privacy notice, format of a privacy notice, mandatory and permissible aspects of a privacy notice, costs and benefits of a short notice, and other categories. 34 SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was signed into law by President Bush on July 30, 2002 in response to public concerns regarding corporate accountability in connection with recent accounting scandals. The stated goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are to increase corporate responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including K-Fed Bancorp. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act includes very specific additional disclosure requirements and new corporate governance rules, requires the SEC and securities exchanges to adopt extensive additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related rules and mandates further studies of certain issues by the SEC and the Comptroller General. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act represents significant federal involvement in matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of directors and its committees. FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain non-interest bearing reserves at specified levels against their transaction accounts, primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW checking accounts. At June 30, 2004, Kaiser Federal Bank was in compliance with these reserve requirements. Savings institutions are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank "discount window," but Federal Reserve Board regulations require institutions to exhaust other reasonable alternative sources of funds, including Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM Kaiser Federal Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, which is one of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks that administers the home financing credit function of savings institutions. Each Federal Home Loan Bank serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. It makes loans or advances to members in accordance with policies and procedures, established by the board of directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank, which are subject to the oversight of the Federal Housing Finance Board. All advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank are required to be fully secured by sufficient collateral as determined by the Federal Home Loan Bank. In addition, all long-term advances are required to provide funds for residential home financing. As a member, Kaiser Federal Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. At June 30, 2004, Kaiser Federal Bank had $3.3 million in Federal Home Loan Bank stock, which was in compliance with this requirement. In past years, Kaiser Federal Bank has received substantial dividends on its Federal Home Loan Bank stock. Over the past two fiscal years such dividends have averaged 4.0% and were 3.9% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. Under federal law, the Federal Home Loan Banks are required to provide funds for the resolution of troubled savings institutions and to contribute to low- and moderately-priced housing programs through 35 direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing projects. These contributions have affected adversely the level of Federal Home Loan Bank dividends paid and could continue to do so in the future. These contributions could also have an adverse effect on the value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock in the future. A reduction in value of Kaiser Federal Bank's Federal Home Loan Bank stock may result in a corresponding reduction in Kaiser Federal Bank's capital. TAXATION FEDERAL GENERAL. K-Fed Bancorp and Kaiser Federal Bank are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize pertinent federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to K-Fed Bancorp or Kaiser Federal Bank. K-Fed Bancorp has not yet filed a federal income tax return due to its recent organization. Kaiser Federal Bank's federal income tax returns have never been audited by the IRS. METHOD OF ACCOUNTING. For federal income tax purposes, K-Fed Bancorp and Kaiser Federal Bank currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a fiscal year ending on June 30th, for filing its federal income tax return. MINIMUM TAX. The Internal Revenue Code imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences, called alternative minimum taxable income. The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent such alternative minimum taxable income is in excess of an exemption amount. Net Operating losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. Kaiser Federal Bank has not been subject to the alternative minimum tax, no do we have any such amounts available as credits for carryover. NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYOVERS. A financial institution may carryback net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. This provision applies to losses incurred in taxable years beginning after August 6, 1997. At June 30, 2004, Kaiser Federal Bank had no net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. CORPORATE DIVIDENDS-RECEIVED DEDUCTION. K-Fed Bancorp may eliminate from its income dividends received from Kaiser Federal Bank as a wholly owned subsidiary of K-Fed Bancorp if it elects to file a consolidated return with Kaiser Federal Bank. The corporate dividends-received deduction is 100% or 80%, in the case of dividends received from corporations with which a corporate recipient does not file a consolidated tax return, depending on the level of stock ownership of the payor of the dividend. Corporations which own less than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend may deduct 70% of dividends received or accrued on their behalf. STATE K-Fed Bancorp and Kaiser Federal Bank are subject to the California corporate (franchise) tax which is assessed at the rate of 10.84%. For this purpose, California taxable income generally means federal taxable income subject to certain modifications provided for in the California law. 36 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. At June 30, 2004, we had two full service offices and two financial service centers. Our financial services centers provide all the same services as a full service office except dispense cash, but cash is available from an ATM located on site. We lease the space in which our home office, executive offices and branch offices are located. The net book value of our investment in premises, equipment and fixtures, excluding computer equipment, was approximately $1.2 million at June 30, 2004. The following table provides a list of our main and branch offices, all of which are leased.

The net book value of our data processing and computer equipment at June 30, 2004 was approximately $337,000. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS From time to time, we are involved as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. We do not anticipate incurring any material liability as a result of this litigation or any material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. 37 PART II. ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "KFED". K-Fed Mutual Holding Company owns 8,861,750 shares, or 60.91% of our outstanding common stock. The approximate number of holders of record of the Company's common stock as of August 11, 2004 was 1,572. Certain shares of the Company are held in "nominee" or "street" name and accordingly, the number of beneficial owners of such shares is not known or included in the foregoing number. The following table presents quarterly market information for the Company's common stock for the period ended June 30, 2004. The Company began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on March 31, 2004. Accordingly, no information prior to this date is available. The high and low prices on March 31, 2004 were $14.00 and $12.95, respectively. The following information was provided by the Nasdaq Stock Market. Fiscal 2004 High Low Dividends - ------------------------------------ ---------- ---------- ----------- Quarter ended June 30, 2004 $ 13.50 $ 11.07 $ 0.00 Dividend payments by K-Fed Bancorp are dependent primarily on dividends it receives from Kaiser Federal Bank, because K-Fed Bancorp will have no source of income other than dividends from Kaiser Federal Bank, earnings from the investment of proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock retained by K-Fed Bancorp, and interest payments with respect to K-Fed Bancorp's loan to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan. A regulation of the Office of Thrift Supervision imposes limitations on "capital distributions" by savings institutions. See "How We Are Regulated - Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions." At June 30, 2004, there were no compensation plans under which equity securities of the Company were authorized for issuance. 38 ITEM 6.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements, which are based on assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of K-Fed Bancorp and Kaiser Federal Bank. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," or similar words. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, general economic conditions, economic conditions in the state of California, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, fiscal policies of the California State Government, the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, competition for and the availability of, loans that we purchase for our portfolio, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in our market areas and accounting principles and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and you should not rely too much on these statements. OVERVIEW AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGY Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, which principally consist of loans and investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, which principally consist of deposits and borrowings. Our results of operations also are affected by the level of our provisions for loan losses, noninterest income and noninterest expenses. Noninterest income consists primarily of service charges on deposit accounts and ATM fees and charges. Noninterest expense consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, equipment, data processing, and ATM costs. Our results of operations may also be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Our strategy is to operate as an independent financial institution dedicated to serving the needs of customers in our market area, which extends from Southern California to the San Francisco Bay area as a result of our history as a credit union serving the employees of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program. We intend to continue to attract retail deposits, with the goal of expanding the deposit base, largely relying on organic growth within our current branch infrastructure and our ATM network. We have been able to achieve deposit growth in excess of the market average over the last several years by pricing our deposits at a premium to the market. We may not necessarily continue that strategy in the future. We expect our customers to use remote access methods such as our call center and audio response unit as well as internet banking and bill payer to access their accounts, which allows us to minimize the need for "bricks" and "mortar" branches. We project that the majority of the deposits will be used to originate or purchase residential real estate, multi-family or commercial real estate loans. A majority of our loan portfolio consists of loans that we have purchased, using our own underwriting standards. We will continue to rely on purchased and broker sourced loans as a method of reducing costs relating to other institutions relying primarily on internally generated loans. Our commitment is to provide a reasonable range of products and services to meet the needs of our customers. As part of this commitment, we will continue the course established over the past few years of increasing our involvement in real estate lending as well as meeting our customers' automobile loan 41 demand. Our goal is to grow Kaiser Federal Bank while providing cost effective services to our market area. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES In reviewing and understanding financial information for the Company, you are encouraged to read and understand the significant accounting policies used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. These policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this report and are essential in understanding Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation. The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements require certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions, which are believed to be reasonable, based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. The following accounting policies comprise those that management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that management believes will cover known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the types and amount of loans in the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, peer group information, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, and current economic conditions. Our methodology for analyzing the allowance for loan losses consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience for consumer loans and peer group loss experience for real estate loans, adjusted for qualitative factors. While management uses the best information available to make loan loss allowance evaluations, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions or changes in accounting guidance. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses. The Office of Thrift Supervision may require the recognition of adjustments to the allowance for loan losses based on its judgment of information available to it at the time of its examination. LOANS: Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by an allowance for loan losses and deferred net loan origination fees, and increased by premiums on purchased loans. Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest income using the effective interest method over the remaining lives of the associated loans. Loan premiums on purchased loans are accreted into interest income as a yield adjustment over the estimated lives of the loan pools using the effective interest method. 42 The estimated lives of these loans can fluctuate based on the amount of prepayments received during each month. The amount of monthly prepayment can vary substantially based on the interest rate environment (i.e., lower interest rates increase the likelihood of refinances) and the rate of turnover of the mortgages (i.e., how often the underlying properties are sold and the loans are paid off). We estimate the prepayments based on past experience. We adjust the rate of amortization regularly to reflect changes in the estimated lives of the loans. INVESTMENTS: Securities that may be sold prior to maturity are classified as available-for-sale. These securities are stated at fair value, and any unrealized net gains and losses are reported as a separate component of equity until realized, net of any tax effect. Changes in the fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale are reflected as direct charges or credits to equity, net of any tax effect. Fair value is determined using independent quotations. Premiums or discounts are recognized in interest income using the effective interest method. Other than temporary declines, if any, in the fair value of individual securities available-for-sale that are below cost are included in earnings as realized losses. Securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as securities held-to-maturity and are recorded at cost, adjusted for unamortized premiums or discounts. Premium or discounts are recognized in interest income using the effective interest method. The sale of a security within three months of its maturity date or after the collection of at least 85% of the principal outstanding at the time the security was acquired is considered a maturity for purposes of classification and disclosure. Other than temporary declines, if any, in the fair value of individual securities held-to-maturity that are below cost are included in earnings as realized losses. COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2004 AND JUNE 30, 2003. GENERAL. Our total assets increased by $150.6 million, or 34.7%, to $584.4 million at June 30, 2004 compared to $433.8 million at June 30, 2003. The increase reflected growth in our loans receivable and investment securities, funded by proceeds raised from the initial public offering as well as increases in deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. LOANS. Our net loan portfolio increased $106.6 million, or 27.4%, to $496.2 million at June 30, 2004 from $389.6 million at June 30, 2003. Although the Company has continued to experience higher than average levels in the volume of one-to-four family real estate loan prepayments, additional loan pool purchases as well as in-house originations were sufficient to replace these loans as well as facilitate an $82.2 million increase in the one-to-four family real estate loans to $341.8 million at June 30, 2004 from $259.6 million at June 30, 2003. Additional increases were experienced in the multi-family and commercial real estate loan portfolio, which increased $35.8 million, or 56.3%, to $99.4 million at June 30, 2004 from $63.6 million at June 30, 2003, slightly offset by a $10.9 million decrease in the consumer loan portfolio from $66.4 million at June 30, 2003 to $55.5 million at June 30, 2004. INVESTMENTS. Our investment portfolio (including mortgage-backed securities) increased $48.2 million to $62.4 million at June 30, 2004 from $14.2 million at June 30, 2003. The growth in the investment portfolio resulted from an increase in investable funds from the initial stock offering. U.S. government agency obligations increased $20.9 million, collateralized mortgage obligations increased $17.9 million, and mortgage-backed securities increased $9.3 million. DEPOSITS. Our total deposits increased $76.8 million, or 22.2%, to $423.0 million at June 30, 2004 from $346.2 million at June 30, 2003. This growth resulted from increases in interest-bearing deposits of $68.8 million, to $384.9 million from $316.1 million, and non-interest bearing deposits of $7.9 million, to $38.0 million from $30.1 million for the same time period. The additional funding was used to support loan growth. 43 BORROWINGS. Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $20.0 million to $70.0 million at June 30, 2004 from $50.0 million at June 30, 2003. We used the borrowings for the funding and purchase of loans and as part of our capital and interest rate risk management strategies. We borrowed funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank to fund attractive loan opportunities in order to increase interest-earning assets and enhance earnings for Kaiser Federal Bank. EQUITY. Total shareholders' equity increased $53.7 million, or 151.7%, to $89.1 million at June 30, 2004 from $35.4 million at June 30, 2003. Our equity to assets ratio under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") was 15.25% at June 30, 2004 compared to 8.16% at June 30, 2003. The large increase in our equity to assets ratio was a result of $50.7 million of net capital generated in connection with the completion of our initial stock offering in March 2004 and net income of $3.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2004, partially offset by a tax effected unrealized loss on securities of $190,000. 44 AVERAGE BALANCES, NET INTEREST INCOME, YIELDS EARNED AND RATES PAID The following table sets forth certain information at June 30, 2004 and for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The average yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Average balances are derived primarily from month-end balances. Management does not believe that the use of month-end balances rather than daily average balances has caused any material differences in the information presented.

GENERAL. We had net income of $3.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 and $2.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2003. The increase of $729,000 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $336,000 and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $641,000, partially offset by an increase in income taxes of $283,000. NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income increased $336,000, or 2.8%, to $12.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 compared to $12.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2003, reflecting a $1.6 million, or 7.8%, increase in interest income, partially offset by a $1.2 million, or 15.0%, increase in interest expense. Our interest rate spread decreased to 2.03% for the year ended June 30, 2004 compared to 2.98% for the year ended June 30, 2003, caused by a temporary change in asset mix due to the significant amount of short-term deposit growth experienced during the second and third quarters of the fiscal year in connection with the initial stock offering, which were invested in low yielding Federal funds, partially offset by lower levels of rates paid on deposits. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 117.3% for the year ended June 30, 2004 compared to 118.6% for the year ended June 30, 2003. INTEREST INCOME. Total interest income increased by $1.6 million, or 7.8%, to $22.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 from $20.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2003. The increase was primarily the result of the growth of our average balance of loans receivable, investment securities, and Federal funds sold. Interest income on loans increased $224,000, or 1.4%, to $19.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 from $19.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2003. The change was a result of an increase in the average balance of the portfolio of $89.6 million to $397.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 from $308.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2003, combined with a decrease on the overall average yield on loans of 4.88% for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to 6.21% for the year ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to a general decrease in the market rates of interest combined significant levels of loan prepayments that resulted in a high level of loan purchase premium amortization. Interest earned on our investment securities, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, Federal funds sold, and interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions increased $1.3 million, or 100.5% from $1.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2003 to $2.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2004. However, the average yield on these interest-earning assets decreased to 1.97% for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to 2.85% for the year ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to the significant increase in the average balance of our Federal funds sold, which was associated with the significant increases in deposits experienced as a result of our initial stock offering, which occurred in March 2004. INTEREST EXPENSE. The increase in interest expense of $1.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 was primarily due to the increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by lower interest rates. Average Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased by $16.5 million to $51.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 from $35.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2003. This created an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank interest costs of $465,000. Average time deposits increased by $54.8 million to $171.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 from $116.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2003. This contributed to the $792,000 increase in deposit 47 interest costs. The average rate on interest bearing liabilities decreased from 2.80% for the year ended June 30, 2003 to 2.12% for the year ended June 30, 2004, due primarily to the temporary liability mix change, resulting from the significant increase in short-term, low-cost deposits experienced as a result of our initial stock offering, which occurred in March 2004, combined with generally lower market rates of interest on new fundings. The additional funding was used to support loan growth. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. Management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers the types and amount of loans in the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, peer group information, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans and current economic conditions. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses, which are charged against income. Our policies require the review of assets on a regular basis, and we appropriately classify loans as well as other assets if warranted. We believe we use the best information available to make a determination with respect to the allowance for loan losses, recognizing that adjustments may be necessary depending upon a change in economic conditions. Our methodology for analyzing the allowance for loan losses consists of two components: general and specific allowances. The general allowance is determined by applying an estimated loss percentage to various homogenous pools of loans. The loss percentages are based on historical loan loss experiences for consumer loans and peer and industry averages for real-estate lending in order to balance the recent and substantial increase in this type of lending with the limited historical loan losses experienced by Kaiser Federal Bank for these types of loans. The specific allowance component is created when management believes that the collectibility of a specific large loan, such as a real estate, multifamily, or commercial real estate loan, has been impaired and a loss is probable. See "Business -Asset Quality-Allowance for Loan Losses." While management uses the best information available to make loan loss allowance evaluations, adjustments to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic and other conditions. We anticipate that our allowance for loan losses will be adjusted as we continue to implement Kaiser Federal Bank's strategy of originating and purchasing primarily residential real estate loans. Additionally, the Office of Thrift Supervision, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses. The Office of Thrift Supervision may require the recognition of adjustments to the allowance for loan losses based on its judgment of information available to it at the time of its examination. See "Business - Asset Quality - Allowance for Loan Losses." Our provision for loan losses decreased $641,000 to $483,000 for the year ended June 30, 2004 compared to $1.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2003. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 0.47% at June 30, 2004 as compared to 0.58% at June 30, 2003. The decrease in the provision is primarily attributable to the significant shift in the loan portfolio mix from consumer loans, which have experienced a higher rate of loss for both Kaiser Federal Bank and its peers, to real estate loans, which have experienced a lower rate of loss. We used the same methodology and generally similar assumptions in assessing the adequacy of the allowance for consumer and real estate loans for both periods. 48 NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income remained unchanged at $3.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared with noninterest income for the year ended June 30, 2003, although there were changes in certain subcomponents of noninterest income. Service charges and fees increased $187,000, primarily due to our checking account overdraft protection program and the implementation of excessive withdrawal fees on non-transaction accounts. This increase was primarily offset by a $173,000 loss on an equity investment in a tax credit fund during fiscal 2004. NONINTEREST EXPENSES. Noninterest expenses remained unchanged at $10.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared with noninterest expense for the year ended June 30, 2003. An increase in salaries and benefits of $176,000, or 3.3% was offset by one-time professional and outside fees incurred for the year ended June 30, 2003 in connection with the Bank's mutual holding company reorganization. Salaries and employee benefits represented 54.3% and 52.6% of total noninterest expense for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in salaries and benefits is primarily due to normal salary increases and bonuses. COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002. GENERAL. We had net income of $2.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2003 and $1.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2002. The change in net income in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 resulted from higher net interest income and non-interest income that was partially offset by increases in non-interest expense. NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income increased $2.1 million, or 21.0%, to $12.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2003 compared to $10.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2002, reflecting a $3.8 million, or 22.9%, increase in interest income, partially offset by a $1.8 million, or 27.3%, increase in interest expense. Our interest rate spread decreased to 2.98% for the year ended June 30, 2003 compared to 3.37% for the year ended June 30, 2002, reflecting a significant change in asset mix due to increased funding and purchasing of adjustable-rate residential real estate loans, partially offset by lower levels of rates paid on deposits. In addition, the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 118.57% for year ended June 30, 2003 compared to 125.42% for year ended June 30, 2002. INTEREST INCOME. Total interest income increased by $3.8 million, or 22.9%, to $20.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2003 from $16.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2002. The increase was primarily the result of the growth of our average loan portfolio balance, which grew by $132.5 million to $308.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2003 from $175.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2002. Interest earned on total loans for the year ended June 30, 2003 was $19.1 million compared to $13.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2002. The average yield on total loans decreased to 6.21% for the year ended June 30, 2003 as compared to 7.74% for the year ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to a general decrease in the market rates of interest. Interest income on investment securities, Federal Home Loan Bank stock and interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions decreased $1.7 million, or 56.7%, for the year ended June 30, 2003 to $1.3 million from $3.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2002. The change was a result of a decrease in the average balance of the portfolio of $24.9 million to $45.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2003 from $70.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2002, combined with a 49 decrease on the overall average yield on total investments of 2.85% for the year ended June 30, 2003 as compared to 4.29% for the year ended June 30, 2002. INTEREST EXPENSE. The increase in interest expense of $1.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2003 was primarily due to the increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by lower interest rates. Average Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased by $32.4 million to $35.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2003 from $2.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2002. This created an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank interest costs of $1.0 million. Average time deposits increased by $32.4 million to $116.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2003 from $84.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2002. This contributed to the $737,000 increase in deposit interest costs. The average rate on interest bearing liabilities decreased from 3.38% during the year ended June 30, 2002 to 2.80% during the year ended June 30, 2003, due primarily to the liability mix changing with generally lower market rates of interest on the new fundings. Additional borrowings and increases in interest bearing liabilities were used to fund the growth in loans in order to implement our leverage strategy to increase interest-earning assets and enhance earnings. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses during the year ended June 30, 2003 totaled $1.1 million, which is similar to the provision made during the year ended June 30, 2002. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 0.58% at June 30, 2003 compared to 0.73% at June 30, 2002. Although the provision expense increase is due primarily to the substantial growth in the overall loan portfolio, the decrease in the allowance for loan losses as a percent of loans was due to the growth in loans being primarily in real estate secured loans, which have historically experienced a lower rate of loss than consumer loans. NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income amounted to $3.2 million and $2.8 million for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase is primarily attributed to the implementation of a checking account overdraft protection program as well as an increase in ATM surcharge fees. NONINTEREST EXPENSES. Noninterest expenses increased $1.4 million, or 16.3%, to $10.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2003 compared to $8.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2002. This is primarily due to a $751,000 increase in salaries and benefits and a $220,000 increase in professional services. Salaries and employee benefits represented 52.6% and 52.3% of total non-interest expense for the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Total salaries and employee benefits increased $751,000, or 16.7%, to $5.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2003 from $4.5 million for the same period in 2002. The increase is primarily due to normal salary increases and bonuses. Professional services expense increased $220,000 as a result of fees incurred for the mutual holding company reorganization of Kaiser Federal Bank. LIQUIDITY AND COMMITMENTS Prior to the passage of the Financial Regulatory Relief and Economic Efficiency Act of 2000 in December 2000, we were required to maintain minimum levels of investments that qualify as liquid assets under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations. Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to the 50 return on loans. Historically, we have maintained liquid assets at levels above the minimum requirements imposed by Office of Thrift Supervision regulations and above levels believed to be adequate to meet the requirements of normal operations, including potential deposit outflows. Cash flow projections are regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity is maintained. Our liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents and mortgage-backed and related securities, is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, and other short-term investments and funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage-backed related securities and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. We also generate cash through borrowings. We utilize Federal Home Loan Bank advances to leverage our capital base and provide funds for our lending and investment activities, and enhance our interest rate risk management. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as overnight deposits. On a longer-term basis, we maintain a strategy of investing in various lending products as described in greater detail under "Business - Lending Activities." We use our sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing commitments, to pay maturing time deposits and savings withdrawals, to fund loan commitments and to maintain our portfolio of mortgage-backed and related securities. At June 30, 2004, the total approved loan commitments unfunded amounted to $39.0 million, which includes the unadvanced portion of loans of $6.0 million. Time deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30, 2004, totaled $95.1 million and $20.0 million, respectively. Based on historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with Kaiser Federal Bank and we anticipate that we will continue to have sufficient funds, through deposits and borrowings, to meet our current commitments. At June 30, 2004 we had available additional advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco in the amount of $157.0 million. On July 2, 2004, the Bank signed a definitive agreement with Pan American Bank, FSB, Burlingame, California, to acquire the Panorama City Branch of Pan American Bank. The transaction will include the assumption of approximately $64 million in deposits. The transaction received regulatory approval on August 6, 2004 and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of calendar year 2004. 51 CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contractual obligations that meet various business needs. These contractual obligations include time deposits to customers, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, lease obligations for facilities, and commitments to purchase and/or originate loans. The following table summarizes the Company's long-term contractual obligations at June 30, 2004.

Total stockholders' equity was $89.1 million at June 30, 2004 or 15.25%, of total assets on that date. As of June 30, 2004, we exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. Our regulatory capital ratios at June 30, 2004 were as follows: core capital 11.05%; Tier I risk-based capital 17.95%; and total risk-based capital 18.63%. The regulatory capital requirements to be considered well capitalized are 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively. See "How We Are Regulated - Regulatory Capital Requirements." IMPACT OF INFLATION The consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These principles require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Our primary assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates, however, do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation. In a period of rapidly rising 52 interest rates, the liquidity and maturity structure of our assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels. The principal effect of inflation, as distinct from levels of interest rates, on earnings is in the area of non-interest expense. Such expense items as employee compensation, employee benefits and occupancy and equipment costs may be subject to increases as a result of inflation. An additional effect of inflation is the possible increase in the dollar value of the collateral securing loans that we have made. We are unable to determine the extent, if any, to which properties securing our loans have appreciated in dollar value due to inflation. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Please refer to Note 1 of the financial statements contained in Item 8 and set forth at F-1. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND MARKET RISK OUR RISK WHEN INTEREST RATES CHANGE. The rates of interest we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Market interest rates change over time. Our loans generally have longer maturities than our deposits. Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. The risk associated with changes in interest rates and our ability to adapt to these changes is known as interest rate risk and is our most significant market risk. HOW WE MEASURE OUR RISK OF INTEREST RATE CHANGES. As part of our attempt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and comply with applicable regulations, we monitor our interest rate risk. In monitoring interest rate risk we continually analyze and manage assets and liabilities based on their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities, and their sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates. In order to minimize the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged increases in interest rates on our results of operations, we have adopted investment/asset and liability management policies to better match the maturities and repricing terms of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The board of directors sets and recommends the asset and liability policies of Kaiser Federal Bank, which are implemented by the asset/liability management committee. The purpose of the asset/liability management committee is to communicate, coordinate and control asset/liability management consistent with our business plan and board approved policies. The committee establishes and monitors the volume and mix of assets and funding sources taking into account relative costs and spreads, interest rate sensitivity and liquidity needs. The objectives are to manage assets and funding sources to produce results that are consistent with liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk and profitability goals. The asset/liability management committee generally meets on a weekly basis to review, among other things, economic conditions and interest rate outlook, current and projected liquidity 53 needs and capital position, anticipated changes in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities and interest rate risk exposure limits versus current projections pursuant to net present value of portfolio equity analysis and income simulations. The asset/liability management committee recommends appropriate strategy changes based on this review. The chairman or his designee is responsible for reviewing and reporting on the effects of the policy implementations and strategies to the board of directors at least monthly. In order to manage our assets and liabilities and achieve the desired liquidity, credit quality, interest rate risk, profitability and capital targets, we have focused our strategies on: o Originating and purchasing adjustable rate loans, o Originating a reasonable volume of short- and intermediate-term consumer loans, o Managing our deposits to establish stable deposit relationships, o Using Federal Home Loan Bank advances and pricing on fixed-term non-core deposits to align maturities and repricing terms, and o Attempting to limit the percentage of fixed-rate loans in our portfolio. At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the asset/liability management committee may determine to increase our interest rate risk position somewhat in order to maintain our net interest margin. The asset/liability management committee regularly reviews interest rate risk by forecasting the impact of alternative interest rate environments on net interest income and market value of portfolio equity, which is defined as the net present value of an institution's existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments, and evaluating such impacts against the maximum potential changes in net interest income and market value of portfolio equity that are authorized by the board of directors of Kaiser Federal Bank. 54 The Office of Thrift Supervision provides Kaiser Federal Bank with the information presented in the following table, which is based on information provided to the Office of Thrift Supervision by Kaiser Federal Bank. It presents the change in Kaiser Federal Bank's net portfolio value at June 30, 2004 that would occur upon an immediate change in interest rates based on Office of Thrift Supervision assumptions but without giving effect to any steps that management might take to counteract that change. A reduction in interest rates of more than 100 basis points is not presented because it would computer to a rate less than zero for certain products.

These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the market values of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios, among others. As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing tables. For example, although assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in the market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features, that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, if interest rates change, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates of deposit could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF BUSINESS: K-Fed Bancorp (the Company) is a majority-owned subsidiary of K-Fed Mutual Holding Company (the Parent). The Company and its Parent are holding companies. The Company's sole subsidiary, Kaiser Federal Bank (the Bank), is a federally chartered savings association, which provides retail and commercial banking services to individual and business customers from its 4 branches throughout California. While the Bank originates all types of retail, and commercial real estate loans, the majority of its residential real estate loans have been purchased from other financial institutions. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and the Bank conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and general industry practices. The Company's business activities generally are limited to passive investment activities and oversight of our investment in the Bank. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Company include the Bank and the Company on a consolidated basis. CHANGE IN REPORTING ENTITY: On July 1, 2003, the Bank consummated its reorganization into a federally chartered mutual holding company form of organization, whereby the Bank became the wholly owned subsidiary of the newly formed Company with the Company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the newly formed Parent. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," when accounting for a transfer of assets or exchange of shares between entities under common control, the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests shall initially recognize the assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer. Therefore, K-Fed Bancorp, recorded the acquisition of the Bank at historical cost. EXECUTION OF PLAN OF STOCK ISSUANCE: On November 22, 2003, and amended on February 9, 2004, the Board of Directors adopted a plan of stock issuance to sell a minority interest of its common stock to eligible depositors of the Bank in a subscription offering, with the majority of the common stock owned by K-Fed Mutual Holding Company. The plan was accomplished through the sale to eligible depositors on March 30, 2004 of 5,686,750 shares, representing 39.09% of the Company's stock. The issued shares resulted in gross proceeds of $56.9 million. In connection with the offering, the Company loaned $4.5 million to the Bank's employee stock ownership plan to purchase stock and incurred $1.7 million of expenses associated with the offering resulting in net proceeds of $50.7 million to the Company. The aggregate purchase price was determined by an independent appraisal. Consistent with the Company's stated intent for use of the stock offering proceeds, one-half of the total proceeds less offering expenses ($27.6 million) was invested in the Bank and placed in the Bank's general funds for general corporate purposes. In addition to the 5,686,750 shares issued to eligible depositors, the Company issued 8,860,750 additional shares to K-Fed Mutual Holding Company. As a result of the offering, purchasers in the offering own 39.09% of K-Fed Bancorp's common stock, and K-Fed Mutual Holding Company owns 60.91%. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and predominant practices followed by the financial services industry. F-7 K-FED BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2004, 2003 AND 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of financial instruments, and mortgage-loan prepayment assumptions used to determine the effective interest amortization of loan purchase premiums. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash and cash equivalents consist of vault and ATM cash, daily federal funds sold, demand deposits due from other banks, and other time deposits that have an original maturity of less than 90 days. For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company reports net cash flows for customer loan transactions (excluding loan purchases) and deposit transactions. INTEREST BEARING DEPOSITS IN OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS: Interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions consist of interest-bearing time deposits in depository institutions with an original maturity equal to or greater than 90 days. SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE: Securities available-for-sale represent securities that may be sold prior to maturity. These securities are stated at fair value, and any unrealized net gains and losses are reported as a separate component of equity until realized, net of any tax effect. Changes in the fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale are reflected as direct charges or credits to equity, net of any tax effect. Estimated fair values for investments are obtained from quoted market prices where available. Where quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. Premiums or discounts are recognized in interest income using the effective interest method over the estimated life of the investment. Securities available-for-sale may be sold in response to changes in market interest rates, repayment rates, the need for liquidity, and changes in the availability and the yield on alternative investments. Other than temporary declines, if any, in the fair value of individual securities available-for-sale that are below cost are included in earnings as realized losses. SECURITIES HELD-TO-MATURITY: Securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as securities held-to-maturity and are recorded at cost, adjusted for unamortized premiums or discounts. Premium or discounts are recognized in interest income using the effective interest method over the estimated life of the investment. The sale of a security within three months of its maturity date or after the collection of at least 85% of the principal outstanding at the time the security was acquired is considered a maturity for purposes of classification and disclosure. Other than temporary declines, if any, in the fair value of individual securities held-to-maturity that are below cost are included in earnings as realized losses. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK: The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB) system, is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the FHLB in an amount equal to the greater of 1% of its outstanding mortgage loans or 4.7% of advances from the FHLB. No ready market exists for the FHLB stock, and it has no quoted market value. F-8 K-FED BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2004, 2003 AND 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOANS: Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by an allowance for loan losses and deferred net loan origination fees, and increased by premiums on purchased loans. Interest on loans is recognized over the terms of the loans and is accrued as earned, using the effective interest rate. Loan premiums on purchased loans are accreted into interest income as a yield adjustment over the estimated lives of the loan pools using the effective interest method. The estimated lives of these loan pools are re-evaluated periodically based on actual prepayments. The current estimated lives of these loan pools range from two to eight years. Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest income using the effective interest method over the estimated lives of the related loans. A loan is considered to be delinquent when payments have not been made according to contractual terms, typically evidenced by non-payment of a monthly installment by the due date. Accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when management believes, after considering economics, business conditions, and collection efforts that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Accrual of interest is discontinued when, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due or when the loan becomes past due 90 days as to either principal or interest. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual status or subsequently charged off is reversed against interest income. Income is subsequently recognized on the cash basis until, in management's judgment, the borrower's ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is back to normal and future payments are reasonably assured, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that management believes will absorb estimated losses relating to specifically identified loans, as well as probable credit losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio, based on an evaluation of the collectability of existing loans and prior loss experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. This evaluation does not include the effects of expected losses on specific loans or groups of loans that are related to future events or expected changes in economic conditions. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses, and may require adjustments to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations. The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard, or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience for consumer loans and peer group loss experience for real estate loans adjusted for qualitative factors. F-9 K-FED BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2004, 2003 AND 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A loan is impaired when it is probable, based on current information and events, the Bank will be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Commercial loans are evaluated for impairment based on their past due status and are measured on an individual basis based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The amount of impairment, if any, and any subsequent changes are included in the allowance for loan losses. Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures. TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS: The Bank accounts for transfers and servicing of financial assets in accordance with SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities." SFAS No. 140 requires application of a financial component's approach that focuses on control. Under this approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. The statement also distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers of financial assets that are secured borrowings. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT: Leasehold improvements and furniture and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Furniture and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is usually 3 to 5 years. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the terms of the related leases or their useful life, which is usually 5 to 10 years. INCOME TAXES: Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME / LOSS: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income / loss for the Company. Other comprehensive loss is comprised entirely of unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, which is also recognized as a separate component of equity. LOSS CONTINGENCIES: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (ESOP): The cost of shares issued to the ESOP but not yet allocated to participants is shown as a reduction of stockholders' equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to be released to participant accounts. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares reduce accrued interest. F-10 K-FED BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2004, 2003 AND 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOAN COMMITMENTS: Financial instruments include off-balance-sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make or purchase loans. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE: The Company displays basic and diluted EPS in the consolidated statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. At June 30, 2004, the Company had no stock options or related instruments, and as a result, basic and diluted EPS are the same. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: During 2004, the Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments". Adoption of the new standards did not materially affect the Company's operating results or financial condition. EITF 03-1 provides guidance for evaluating whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired and requires certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures for cost method investments. 2. RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS The Company is required to maintain reserve balances in cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank, based on a percentage of deposits. The total of those reserve balances is approximately $924,000 and $675,000 at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. F-11 K-FED BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2004, 2003 AND 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.

The Company has evaluated these securities and has determined that the decline in value is temporary and is related to the change in market interest rates since purchase. The decline in value is not related to any company or industry specific event. At June 30, 2004 there are 14 investment securities with unrealized losses. The Company anticipates full recovery of amortized cost with respect to these securities at maturity or sooner in the event of a more favorable market interest rate environment. The recorded value and the fair value of investment securities at June 30, 2004, by contractual maturity, are shown below.

The Company continues to service the participants' balance, which at June 30, 2004 totaled approximately $6.3 million and represented 7 loans. The Company receives a servicing fee of 25 basis points on these participated loans. The Company has purchased real-estate loan participations originated by other financial institutions. All of these loan participations were purchased without recourse and are secured by real property. The originating financial institution performs all servicing functions on these loans. The following is an analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses: YEARS ENDED JUNE 30 ----------------------------------- 2004 2003 2002 ------- --------- -------- (Dollars in Thousands) Balance, beginning of year $ 2,281 $ 1,744 $ 1,175 Provision for loan losses 483 1,124 1,147 Recoveries 301 313 522 Loans charged off (737) (900) (1,100) ------- --------- -------- Balance, end of year $ 2,328 $ 2,281 $ 1,744 ======= ========= ======== There were no loans individually classified as impaired as of June 30, 2004 and 2003. F-14 K-FED BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2004, 2003 AND 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loans on which accrual of interest has been discontinued or reduced amounted to $82,000 and $26,000 at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. If interest on those loans had been accrued, such income would have approximated $4,000, $1,000, and $4,000 for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002 respectively. The effects of troubled debt restructurings are not considered material to the Company's financial position and results of operations. 5. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK The Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program employs a large percentage of the Company's account holders. Further, a significant concentration of the Company's borrowers resides in California. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, borrowers' ability to repay loans may be affected by the economic climate of either the health care industry or the overall geographic region in which borrowers reside. 6. ACCRUED INTEREST RECEIVABLE Accrued interest receivable is summarized as follows: JUNE 30 ---------------------- 2004 2003 ------ ------ (Dollars in Thousands) Loans $1,789 $1,570 Investment securities 247 57 Other 7 42 ------ ------ $2,043 $1,669 ====== ====== 7.

The Company leases office space in four buildings. The operating leases contain renewal options and provisions requiring the Company to pay property taxes and operating expenses over base period amounts. All rental payments are dependent only upon the lapse of time.

INVESTMENT IN LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP The Company has an approximate 20% investment in the California Affordable Housing Fund, a limited liability partnership, which builds and operates affordable housing projects located in Northern California. The Company purchased the investment for approximately $2,670,000 during the year ended June 30, 2004 and has committed to fund another $680,000 over the next five years contingent upon stipulations set forth in the partnership agreement. The investment is included in other assets at June 30, 2004 and is being accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The investment is evaluated periodically for impairment based on the remaining allocable tax credits.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS The Company has a 401(k) pension plan that allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their salary into the 401(k) plan. The Company matches 50% of the first 10% of employees' wage reductions. The Company contributed $130,000, $94,000, and $73,000 respectively, to the plan for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002. The Company has an executive salary deferral program for the benefit of certain senior executives that have been designated to participate in the program. The program allows an additional opportunity for key executives to defer a portion of their compensation into a non-qualified deferral program to supplement their retirement earnings. At June 30 2004 and 2003 the Company has accrued a liability for executive deferrals of $679,000 and $406,000, respectively.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (ESOP) During 2004, the Company implemented the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, which covers substantially all of its employees. In connection with the stock offering, the Company issued 454,940 shares of common stock for allocation under the ESOP in exchange for a ten-year note in the amount of approximately $4.5 million. The $4.5 million for the ESOP purchase was borrowed from the Company. The ESOP shares initially were pledged as collateral for the loan. The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Company's contributions to the ESOP and earnings on ESOP assets. Shares issued to the ESOP are allocated to ESOP participants based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. Principal and interest payments are scheduled to occur over a ten-year period. During 2004, 11,374 shares of stock with an average fair value of $12.37 per share were committed to be released, resulting in ESOP compensation expense of $140,000. Shares held by the ESOP at June 30, 2004 are as follows: 2004 -------- Allocated shares 11,374 Unearned shares 443,566 -------- Total ESOP shares 454,940 ======== Fair value of unearned shares at June 30, 2004 (in Thousands) $ 5,655 ======== 14.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Loans to certain executive officers, directors, and their associates totaled $754,000 and $598,000 at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Management believes that such loans were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons, and did not involve more than the normal credit risk nor present other unfavorable features. The following is a summary of activity during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 with respect to such aggregate loans to these individual and their associates and affiliated companies: Balance at June 30, 2003 $ 598,000 New loans 618,000 Repayments (462,000) --------- Balance at June 30, 2004 $ 754,000 ========= 17.

MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. The regulations require the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. F-21 K-FED BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2004, 2003 AND 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and Tier 1 capital to total assets (as defined). Management's opinion, as of June 30, 2004, is that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of June 30, 2004, the most recent notification from the Office of Thrift Supervision, categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table.

F-22 K-FED BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2004, 2003 AND 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generally, savings institutions, such as Kaiser Federal Bank, that before and after the proposed distribution are well-capitalized, may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to the greater of 100% of net income for the year-to-date plus retained net income for the two preceding years. However, an institution deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision may have its dividend authority restricted by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Kaiser Federal Bank may pay dividends to K-Fed Bancorp in accordance with this general authority. The Holding Company is not currently subject to prompt corrective action regulations. 19. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value: INVESTMENTS Estimated fair values for investments are obtained from quoted market prices where available. Where quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. LOANS The estimated fair value for all fixed rate loans and variable rate loans with an initial fixed rate feature is determined by discounting the estimated cash flows using the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and maturities. The estimated fair value for variable rate loans with no initial fixed rate feature is the carrying amount. The impact of delinquent loans on the estimation of the fair values described above is not considered to have a material effect and, accordingly, delinquent loans have been disregarded in the valuation methodologies employed. DEPOSITS The estimated fair value of deposit accounts (savings, non interest bearing demand and money market accounts) is the carrying amount. The fair value of fixed-maturity time certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the estimated cash flows using the current rate at which similar certificates would be issued. F-23 K-FED BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2004, 2003 AND 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FHLB ADVANCES The fair values of the FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. OTHER ON-BALANCE-SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Other on-balance-sheet financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities. The carrying value of each of these financial instruments is a reasonable estimation of fair value. OFF-BALANCE-SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair values for the Company's off-balance sheet loan commitments are estimated based on fees charged to others to enter into similar agreements taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and credit standing of the Company's customers. The estimated fair value of these commitments is not significant. The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are summarized as follows JUNE 30, 2004 JUNE 30, 2003 -------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value --------------- ------------- -------------- ---------------- (Dollars in Thousands) Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 12,158 $ 12,158 $ 16,190 $ 16,190 Interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions 2,970 2,970 6,437 6,437 Securities available-for-sale 21,003 21,003 - - Securities held-to-maturity 41,361 40,940 14,247 14,373 Federal Home Loan Bank Stock 3,290 3,290 2,602 2,602 Loans, net 496,206 493,474 389,640 393,048 Accrued interest receivable 2,043 2,043 1,669 1,669 Financial liabilities: Deposits 422,953 424,497 346,239 348,089 FHLB advances 70,000 70,152 50,000 51,689 The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Company's financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company's overall interest rate risk.
