Kentucky First Federals operations consist primarily of operating the Banks as two independent, community-oriented savings institutions. First Federal of Hazard is a federally chartered savings and loan association offering traditional financial services to consumers in Perry and surrounding counties in eastern Kentucky. First Federal of Hazard engages primarily in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using such funds to originate, when available, loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, residential real estate and, occasionally, other loans secured by real estate. To the extent there is insufficient loan demand in its market area, and where appropriate under its investment policies, First Federal of Hazard has historically invested in mortgage-backed and other securities, although since formation of the Company in 2005, First Federal of Hazard has been purchasing whole loans and participations in loans originated at First Federal of Kentucky. First Federal of Kentucky is a federally chartered savings bank which is primarily engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and the origination primarily of adjustable-rate loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied one-to four-family residences in Franklin, Boyle, Garrard and surrounding counties in Kentucky. First Federal of Kentucky also originates, to a lesser extent, home equity loans, loans secured by churches, multi-family properties, professional office buildings and other types of property, as well as consumer loans and commercial and industrial loans. **MARKET INFORMATION** The Companys common stock began trading under the symbol KFFB on the Nasdaq National Market on March 3, 2005.

The location is One Community College Drive in Hazard, KY. After a very challenging year in 2024, in the current year we have begun to see some improvement in net income. While our earnings for the year were very low, almost all of the years $181,000 in net income were the result of the $175,000 of net income recorded in the fourth quarter ending June 30, 2024. Our assets have continued to reprice favorably, and after nearly two years of increasing costs, our cost of funds began to decline in the fourth quarter. The recent and expected rate cuts in 2025 and beyond are expected to provide further benefit to our results of operations. We essentially doubled our non-interest income year-to-year as we experienced some success in originating loans for sale in the secondary market. Lower market interest rates should help this trend continue in the next year. We have continued to work with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the primary regulator of First Federal of Kentucky, to respond to the formal agreement entered into by the bank on August 13, 2024. Ultimately, our response to the agreement, and part of our earnings plan for both banks, will be to continue to reduce reliance on non-core funding, to diversify our income streams, to shift more of our lending into the secondary market to reduce interest rate risk and increase non-interest income, and to equip the banks to compete in broader banking areas to include commercial lending, commercial deposits, and public deposits. The Kentucky First Board, the Board of First Federal of Hazard, and the Hazard community suffered a big loss in December of last year when Bill Gorman, Jr., passed away. Billy had served our boards ably since 2010 and he will certainly be missed. As always, we request that our shareholders remember that our banks would appreciate consideration for all of your loan and deposit needs. Sincerely, Don Jennings President and Chief Executive Officer 1 **SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA** **Selected Financial Condition Data** | | | At June 30, | | | | (Dollars in thousands) | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | 2022 | | | 2021 | | | | Total assets | | $ | 371,211 | | | $ | 374,968 | | | $ | 349,022 | | | $ | 328,080 | | | $ | 338,063 | | | | Cash and cash equivalents | | | 19,480 | | | | 18,287 | | | | 8,167 | | | | 25,823 | | | | 21,648 | | | | Time deposits | | | -

These forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as believe, expect, anticipate, plan, estimate, intend and potential, or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as should, could, or may. Forward-looking statements include statements of our goals, intentions and expectations; statements regarding our ability to fully and timely address the deficiencies that resulted in the Agreement that First Federal Savings Bank of Kentucky has entered into with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC); First Federal Savings Bank of Kentuckys ability to satisfy the Individual Minimum Capital Requirements imposed by the OCC; statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies; statements regarding the quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits. Kentucky First Federal Bancorps actual results, performance or achievements may materially differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause or contribute to such material differences include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions; prices for real estate in the Companys market areas; the interest rate environment and the impact of the interest rate environment on our business, financial condition and results of operations; our ability to successfully execute our strategy to increase earnings, increase core deposits, reduce reliance on higher cost funding sources and shift more of our loan portfolio towards higher-earning loans; our ability to pay future dividends and if so at what level; our ability to receive any required regulatory approval or non-objection for the payment of dividends from First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Hazard and First Federal Savings Bank of Kentucky to the Company or from the Company to shareholders; the ability of First Federal MHC to receive approval of its members to waive the payment of any Company dividends to First Federal MHC competitive conditions in the financial services industry; changes in the level of inflation; changes in the demand for loans, deposits and other financial services that we provide; the possibility that future credit losses may be higher than currently expected; competitive pressures among financial services companies; the ability to attract, develop and retain qualified employees; our ability to maintain the security of our data processing and information technology systems; the outcome of pending or threatened litigation, or of matters before regulatory agencies; changes in law, governmental policies and regulations, rapidly changing technology affecting financial services, and the other matters mentioned in Item 1A of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company does not undertake the responsibility, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the result of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. **General** The Company was incorporated as a mid-tier holding company under the laws of the United States on March 2, 2005, upon the completion of the reorganization of First Federal of Hazard into a federal mutual holding company form of organization (the Reorganization). On that date, Kentucky First Federal also completed its minority stock offering and its concurrent acquisition of Frankfort First Bancorp, Inc. (Frankfort First Bancorp) and its wholly owned subsidiary, First Federal of Kentucky, Frankfort Kentucky (First Federal of Kentucky) (the Merger). Following the Reorganization and Merger, the Company has operated First Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Kentucky (collectively, the Banks) as two independent, community-oriented savings institutions. On December 31, 2012, the Company acquired CKF Bancorp, Inc., a savings and loan holding company which operated three banking locations in Boyle and Garrard Counties in Kentucky. In accounting for the transaction, the assets and liabilities of CKF Bancorp were recorded on the books of First Federal of Kentucky in accordance with accounting standard ASC 805, Business Combinations. Our results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on our loans and securities and our cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by the provision for losses on loans and service charges and fees collected on our deposit accounts. Our general, administrative, and other expense primarily consists of employee compensation and benefits expense, occupancy and equipment expense, data processing expense, other operating expenses and state and federal income taxes. Results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. 4 **Regulatory Developments Regarding First Federal of Kentucky** **** On August 13, 2024, First Federal of Kentucky entered into a formal written agreement (the Agreement) with the OCC (the OCC), First Federal of Kentuckys primary federal banking regulator, which became effective as of the same date. As a result of the Agreement, pursuant to 12 C.F.R. 5.51(c)(7)(ii), First Federal of Kentucky is in troubled condition, and is not an eligible savings association for purposes of 12 C.F.R. 5.3, unless otherwise informed in writing by the OCC. In addition to the Agreement, the OCC has also imposed individual minimum capital requirements (IMCRs) on First Federal of Kentucky. The IMCRs require First Federal of Kentucky to maintain a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of at least 9.0%, a tier 1 capital ratio of at least 11.0%, a total capital ratio of at least 12.0%, and a leverage ratio of at least 9.0%. At June 30, 2025, First Federal of Kentucky exceeded the requirements of the IMCRs as its common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 16.83%, its tier 1 capital ratio was 16.83%, its total capital ratio was 16.83%, and its leverage ratio was 9.97%. Under the terms of the Agreement, First Federal of Kentucky is required to take the following actions within the time frames specified in the Agreement: | | | create a compliance committee composed of at least three of First Federal of Kentuckys directors to monitor and oversee First Federal of Kentuckys compliance with the provisions of the Agreement and submit quarterly evaluation reports to First Federal of Kentuckys board of directors regarding actions First Federal of Kentucky has taken to comply with the Agreement and the results and status of such actions; | | | | | submit to the OCC, adopt and implement an acceptable revised written three-year strategic plan establishing objectives for First Federal of Kentuckys overall risk profile, balance sheet mix, funding structure, interest rate risk, liquidity and capital adequacy, earnings performance, and asset and core deposit growth, together with strategies to achieve those objectives; | | | | | submit to the OCC, adopt and implement an acceptable revised written succession plan for First Federal of Kentucky that is designed to promote adequate staffing and continuity of capable management; | | | | | adopt a revised written liquidity risk management program for First Federal of Kentucky that provides for the identification, measurement, monitoring, and control of First Federal of Kentuckys liquidity risk exposure, and that emphasizes the importance of cash flow projections, diversified funding sources, a cushion of highly liquid assets, robust liquidity stress testing scenario analyses, and a formal, well-developed contingency funding plan as primary tools for measuring and managing liquidity risk; and | | | | | adopt a revised written interest rate risk program that includes risk management systems to identify, measure, monitor, and control interest rate risk. | | The Agreement requires First Federal of Kentuckys Board to (i) ensure that First Federal of Kentucky timely adopts and implements all corrective actions required by the Agreement and (ii) verify that First Federal of Kentucky adheres to the corrective actions and that they are effective in addressing First Federal of Kentuckys deficiencies that resulted in the Agreement. The Agreement will remain in effect until it is amended by First Federal of Kentucky and the OCC, or the OCC modifies, waives or terminates the Agreement. While First Federal of Kentucky is subject to the Agreement, we expect that the Board and management will be required to focus considerable time and attention on taking corrective actions to comply with its terms. 5 First Federal of Kentuckys Board and management are committed to fully addressing the provisions of the Agreement within the required time frames. The Board and management of First Federal of Kentucky have been taking action and implementing programs to comply with the requirements of the Agreement. Although compliance with the Agreement will be determined by the OCC, the Board and management believes that First Federal of Kentucky has complied in all material respects with the provisions of the Agreement required to be complied with as of the date of this report, including the capital requirements imposed by the OCC. The OCC may determine, however, in its sole discretion that the issues raised by the Agreement have not been addressed satisfactorily, or that any current or past actions, violations or deficiencies could be the subject of further regulatory enforcement actions. If the OCC were to determine that First Federal of Kentucky was not in compliance with the Agreement, it would have available various remedies, including among others, the power to enjoin unsafe or unsound practices, to require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice, to direct an increase in capital, to restrict the growth of First Federal of Kentucky, to remove officers and/or directors, to assess civil monetary penalties, and to impose limitations on our business at First Federal of Kentucky, any of which could negatively affect our ability to implement our business plan and pay dividends on or our common stock, and may negatively affect the value of our common stock as well as our financial condition and results of operations. First Federal of Kentucky will incur additional non-interest expenses associated with the implementation of the corrective actions set forth in the Agreement. These expenses may have a material impact on the financial condition of the Company. For additional information, see Note K-Stockholders Equity and Regulatory Capital of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report. *Lending Operations and Credit Risk* **Income.**We have two primary sources of pre-tax income. The first is net interest income, which is the difference between interest income, the income that we earn on our loans and investments, and interest expense, the interest that we pay on our deposits and borrowings. To a much lesser extent, we also recognize pre-tax income from fee and service charges, which is the compensation we receive from providing financial products and services. **Expenses.**The expenses we incur in operating our business consist of compensation, taxes and benefits, office occupancy, data processing fees, taxes, and other expenses. Compensation, taxes, and benefits consist primarily of the salaries and wages paid to our employees and directors, payroll taxes and expenses for retirement and other employee benefits. Office occupancy expenses, which are the fixed and variable costs of buildings and equipment, consist primarily of taxes, depreciation charges, maintenance, and costs of utilities. Data processing fees primarily include fees paid to our third-party data processing providers. Taxes consist of the current and deferred portion of federal and state income taxes. Other expenses include expenses for attorneys, accountants and consultants, advertising, telephone, employee training and education, charitable contributions, insurance, office supplies, postage, and other miscellaneous operating activities. 6 **Critical Accounting Policies** Our accounting and reporting policies comply with U.S. GAAP and conform to general practices within the banking industry. We believe that of our significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of management assumptions and judgments that could result in materially different amounts to be reported if conditions or underlying circumstances were to change. **Allowance for Credit Losses **We account for the allowance for credit losses under ASC 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which is commonly known as CECL. We measure expected credit losses of financial assets on a weighted average remaining maturity (WARM) basis. We maintain an allowance for credit losses (ACL) at a level that is appropriate to cover estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans, as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the estimated life of the loan portfolio. Credit losses are charged to and recoveries are credited to the ACL. Loans with similar risk characteristics are evaluated on a collective basis within homogeneous loan pools under ASC 326. Our homogeneous loan pools are primarily determined by loan purpose and collateral type. Pools include residential real estate (composed of one-to four-family, multi-family, and construction), land, farm, nonresidential real estate, commercial and industrial, and consumer loans (composed of Loans on deposit, home equity, automobile, and unsecured). Credits that are nonaccrual status are subject to individual evaluation. Historical loss rates for loans are adjusted for significant factors that, in managements judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions on loss recognition. Qualitative factors used to derive our ACL include delinquency trends, current economic conditions and trends, strength of supervision and administration of the loan portfolio, levels of underperforming loans, trends in loan losses and underwriting exceptions. Reasonable and supportable economic forecasts that may offset collectibility are also included as factors in our ACL model. Management continually reevaluates the other subjective factors included in its ACL analysis. **Deferred Taxes.**We evaluate deferred tax assets and liabilities quarterly. We will realize these assets and liabilities to the extent profitable or carry back tax losses to periods in which we paid income taxes. Our determination of the realization of the deferred tax asset will be based upon managements judgment of various future events and uncertainties, including the timing and amount of future income we will earn and the implementation of various tax plans to maximize realization of the deferred tax assets. Management believes the Company will generate sufficient operating earnings to realize the deferred tax benefits. Examinations of our income tax returns or changes in tax law may impact the tax liabilities and resulting provisions for income taxes. **Our Operating Strategy** **** Our mission is to operate and grow profitable, community-oriented financial institutions serving primarily retail customers in our market areas. We plan to pursue a strategy of: | | | operating two community-oriented savings institutions, First Federal of Hazard, which serves customers in Perry and surrounding counties in eastern Kentucky, and First Federal of Kentucky, which serves customers primarily in the central Kentucky counties of Franklin, Boyle, and Garrard, as well as their surrounding counties. Each Bank emphasizes traditional thrift activities of accepting deposits and originating primarily residential mortgage loans for portfolio; | | | | | continuing our historic heavy reliance on our deposit base to fund our lending and investment activities and while increasing and diversifying those deposits to include more consumer core deposits, commercial deposits and public deposits and to supplement deposits with FHLB advances when advantageous or necessary; | | | | | continue to work with our primary regulator to address concerns raised in the formal agreement and to restore First Federal Savings Bank of Kentucky to good standing with the regulators | | 7 | | | gradually pursuing opportunities to increase and diversify lending in our market areas; | | | | | applying conservative underwriting practices to maintain the high quality of our loan portfolios; | | | | | managing our net interest margin and interest rate risk; and | | | | | entertaining possibilities of expansion into other markets through branching or acquisition, if such possibilities are beneficial to the Companys shareholders, provide a good fit within the Companys mutual holding company framework and can be accomplished without undue encumbrance of the Companys other operational areas. | | **Market Risk Analysis** **Qualitative Aspects of Market Risk.**Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. We manage the interest rate sensitivity of our interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets to minimize the adverse effects of changes in the interest rate environment. Deposit accounts typically react more quickly to changes in market interest rates than mortgage loans because of the shorter maturities of deposits. As a result, sharp increases in interest rates may adversely affect our earnings while decreases in interest rates may beneficially affect our earnings. To reduce the potential volatility of our earnings, we have sought to improve the match between asset and liability maturities (or rate adjustment periods), while maintaining an acceptable interest rate spread. Still, when market rates increase rapidly, increases in the cost of deposits and borrowings outpace the increases in the return on assets. The Companys assets are primarily comprised of adjustable-rate mortgages (all of which have some contractual limits in their ability to react to market changes) and short-term securities. Those assets will, over time, re-price to counteract the increased costs of deposits and borrowings. **Asset/Liability Management.**Management and the boards of the subsidiary Banks are responsible for the asset/liability management issues that affect the individual Banks. Either Bank may work with its sister Bank to mitigate potential asset/liability risks to the Banks and to the Company as a whole. Management utilizes a third-party to perform interest rate risk (IRR) calculations for each of the Banks. Management monitors and considers methods of managing the rate sensitivity and repricing characteristics of each of the Banks balance sheet components to maintain acceptable levels of change in the economic value of equity (EVE) as well as evaluating the impact on earnings in the event of changes in prevailing market interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity analysis is used to measure our interest rate risk by computing estimated changes in EVE that are a result of changes in the net present value of its cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items. These changes in cash flow are estimated based on hypothetical instantaneous and permanent increases and decreases in market interest rates. In March 2022 the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the Federal Reserve Bank began raising the target range for the fed funds rate of interest and since that time has raised the short-term interest rate by 525 basis points. At June 30, 2025, we believe our risk associated with rising interest rates is moderately high but the banks continue to work to reduce this exposure. Our IRR model indicated that at June 30, 2025, in the event of a sudden and sustained increase in prevailing market interest rates of 300 basis points, our EVE would be expected to decrease $32.3 million or 56.3% to $25.0 million, at which level our fair value of tangible equity to fair value of tangible assets would be expected to be 6.9%. The projected decrease in EVE in the event of a sudden and sustained 300 basis point increase in prevailing interest rates is not within the parameters established by each subsidiary Banks Board of Directors. Computations or prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments, and deposit run-offs. These computations should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions the Banks may undertake in response to changes in interest rates. Certain shortcomings are inherent in this method of computing EVE. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in differing degrees to changes in market interest rates. 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. Finally, after the considerable market rate increases in 2022 and 2023, rates began to decline in 2024 and have declined by 125 basis points since September 2024. Most market analysts believe that decreases will continue for some time and that a 300 basis points increase from the current level is very unlikely. 8 **Statement of Financial Condition** **General.**At June 30, 2025, assets totaled $371.2million, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 1.0%, compared to June30, 2024. The decrease was related primarily to a decrease of $5.8 million or 1.7% in loans, net, which totaled $327.2 million at June 30, 2025. Federal Home Loan Bank stock at cost decreased $250,000 or 5.9% at June 30, 2025. These were slightly offset by increases in cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 million or 6.5%. Total liabilities decreased $4.1 million, or 1.3%, to $322.8 million at June 30, 2025, primarily as a result of decreased FHLB advances, which decreased $26.2 million or 38.0% to $42.8 million at June 30, 2025 and were somewhat offset by increased deposits, which increased $21.4 million or 8.4% to $277.6 million. **Loans.**Our primary lending activity is the origination of loans for the purchase, refinance, or construction of one- to four-family residential real estate located in our market areas. As opportunities arise, we also originate church loans, commercial real estate loans, and multi-family and nonresidential real estate loans. At June 30, 2025, one- to four- family residential real estate loans totaled $251.3million, or 76.3% of total loans, compared to $256.2 million, or 76.5% of total loans at June30, 2024.

We evaluate the allowance for loan losses no less than quarterly. When additional allowances are needed a provision for losses on loans is charged against earnings. The recommendations for increases or decreases to the allowance are presented by management to the Banks boards of directors. The Companys board of directors oversees the overall allowance level for the Company and may propose increases or decreases for allowance levels at the Banks. The Allowance for Credit Loss is established to recognize the probable incurred losses associated with lending activities. Loss and risk factors are based on our historical loss experience and industry averages and are adjusted for significant factors that in managements judgment affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. These significant factors may include changes in lending policies and procedures, changes in existing general economic and business conditions affecting our primary lending area, credit quality trends, collateral value, loan volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, recent loss experience, duration of the current business cycle and bank regulatory examination results. **** The allowance for credit losses totaled $2.2 million and $2.1 million at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which represented 0.66% and 0.64% of total loans, respectively. The allowance included no specific reserves at June 30, 2025 or 2024. Such reserves are calculated when a non-homogenous loan is considered impaired. An impaired loan is one in which it is likely that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Most of the Companys loans are collateral-based and, in case of impairment, the loans are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less disposal costs. 10 Nonperforming loans, which consist of all loans 90 days or more past due and nonaccrual loans, totaled $3.9 million and $3.9 million at June30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The allowance for loan losses totaled 56.1% and 54.6% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We account for the allowance for credit losses under ASC 326, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which is commonly known as CECL. We measure expected credit losses of financial assets on a weighted average remaining maturity (WARM) basis. We maintain an allowance for credit losses (ACL) at a level that is appropriate to cover estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans, as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the estimated life of the loan portfolio. Credit losses are charged to ACL and recoveries are credited to the ACL. Loans with similar risk characteristics are evaluated on a collective basis within homogeneous loan pools under ASC 326. Our homogeneous loan pools are primarily determined by loan purpose and collateral type. Pools include residential real estate (composed of one-to four-family, multi-family, and construction), land, farm, nonresidential real estate, commercial and industrial, and consumer loans (composed of Loans on deposit, home equity, automobile, and unsecured). Credits that are nonaccrual status are subject to individual evaluation. Historical loss rates for loans are adjusted for significant factors that, in managements judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions on loss recognition. Qualitative factors used to derive our ACL include delinquency trends, current economic conditions and trends, strength of supervision and administration of the loan portfolio, levels of underperforming loans, trends in loan losses and underwriting exceptions. Reasonable and supportable economic forecasts that may offset collectibility are also included as factors in our ACL model. Management continually reevaluates the other subjective factors included in its ACL analysis. Our loss reserves do not include $252,000 in remaining discounts on acquired loans at June 30, 2025. Our banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for credit losses. The examinations may require us to make additional provisions for loan losses based on judgments different from ours. In addition, because further events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or that increases will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate because of the factors discussed above. Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. **Summary of Loan Loss Experience.** The following table sets forth an analysis of the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated. Where specific loan loss allowances have been established, any difference between the loss allowance and the amount of loss realized has been charged or credited to the allowance. At July 1, 2023, the adoption of CECL led to an immediate increase of $497,000 to the allowance. 11 | | | Year Ended June 30, | | | | | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | 2022 | | | 2021 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allowance at beginning of period | | $ | 2,127 | | | $ | 1,634 | | | $ | 1,529 | | | $ | 1,622 | | | $ | 1,488 | | | | Provision (credit) for loan losses | | | 39 | | | | 24 | | | | 113 | | | | (60 | ) | | | 192 | | | | Charge-offs: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Real estate loans | | | -

When a loan becomes 90 days delinquent, the loan may be placed on nonaccrual status at which time the accrual of interest ceases, the interest previously accrued to income is reversed and interest income is thereafter recognized on a cash basis. Payments on a nonaccrual loan are applied to the outstanding principal and interest as determined at the time of collection of the loan or applied entirely to principal, depending on managements assessment of ultimate collectability. In situations where management believes collection of interest due is likely even if the loan is more than 90 days delinquent, then management may decide not to place the loan on non-accrual status. We consider repossessed assets and loans that are 90 days or more past due to be nonperforming assets. Real estate that we acquire because of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until it is sold. When property is acquired, it is recorded at the lower of carrying value of the investment or fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure. Holding costs and declines in fair value after acquisition of the property are charged against income. Under current accounting guidelines, a loan is defined as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans identified as impaired are evaluated on an individual basis. At June30, 2025, there were no loans individually considered impaired with valuation adjustments. The following table provides information with respect to our nonperforming assets at the dates indicated. | | | Year Ended June 30, | | | | (Dollars in thousands) | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | 2022 | | | 2021 | | | | Nonaccrual loans: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Real estate loans | | $ | 2,215 | | | $ | 2,678 | | | $ | 4,199 | | | $ | 4,048 | | | $ | 4,660 | | | | Commercial loans | | | 927 | | | | 969 | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | Consumer loans | | | 131 | | | | - | | | | - | | | | 75 | | | | 21 | | | | Total nonaccrual loans | | | 3,273 | | | | 3,647 | | | | 4,199 | | | | 4,123 | | | | 4,681 | | | | Accruing loans past due 90 days or more: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Real estate loans | | | 592 | | | | 221 | | | | 365 | | | | 287 | | | | 243 | | | | Commercial loans | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | 1 | | | | - | | | | Consumer loans | | | - | | | | 28 | | | | 28 | | | | - | | | | - | | | | Total accruing loans past due 90 days or more | | | 592 | | | | 249 | | | | 393 | | | | 288 | | | | 243 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Restructured loans not performing as agreed | | | - | | | | - | | | | 109 | | | | 1,408 | | | | 1,731 | | | | Total nonperforming loans | | | 3,865 | | | | 3,896 | | | | 4,701 | | | | 5,819 | | | | 6,655 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Real estate acquired through foreclosure | | | - | | | | 10 | | | | 70 | | | | 10 | | | | 82 | | | | Total nonperforming assets and performing restructured loans | | $ | 3,865 | | | $ | 3,906 | | | $ | 4,771 | | | $ | 5,829 | | | $ | 6,737 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Total nonperforming loans to total loans | | | 1.17 | % | | | 1.16 | % | | | 1.49 | % | | | 2.11 | % | | | 2.22 | % | | | Total nonperforming loans to total assets | | | 1.04 | % | | | 1.04 | % | | | 1.35 | % | | | 1.77 | % | | | 1.97 | % | | | Total nonperforming assets to total assets | | | 1.04 | % | | | 1.04 | % | | | 1.37 | % | | | 1.78 | % | | | 1.99 | % | | Interest income that would have been recorded for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, had nonaccrual loans been current according to their original terms amounted to $50,000, and $53,000, respectively. Income related to nonaccrual loans included in interest income for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $42,000, and $45,000, respectively. 13 Federal regulations require us to regularly review and classify our assets. In addition, our regulators have the authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, require them to be classified. There are three classifications for problem assets: substandard, doubtful and loss. Substandard assets must have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. An asset classified loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. The regulations also provide for a special mention category, described as assets which do not currently expose us to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving our close attention. Special mention assets totaled $672,000 and $797,000 at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The following table shows the aggregate amounts of our assets classified for regulatory purposes at the dates indicated. | | | At June 30, | | | | (in thousands) | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | | Substandard assets | | $ | 6,086 | | | $ | 7,171 | | | $ | 7,266 | | | | Doubtful assets | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | Loss assets | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | Total classified assets | | $ | 6,086 | | | $ | 7,171 | | | $ | 7,266 | | | Substandard assets at June 30, 2025, consisted of 99 loans totaling $6.1 million and no real estate owned, compared to substandard assets at June 30, 2024, consisted of 113 loans totaling $7.2 million and one parcel of real estate owned with an aggregate carrying value of $10,000. During the fiscal years ended June 30 2025 and 2024, the Company made no loans to facilitate the purchase of real estate owned. There was no other real estate owned at June 30, 2025.

The following table presents certain information regarding our Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati advances during the periods and at the dates indicated. | | | Year Ended June 30, | | | | (Dollars in thousands) | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | | Balance outstanding at end of period | | $ | 42,760 | | | $ | 68,988 | | | $ | 70,087 | | | | Maximum amount of advances outstanding at any month during the period | | $ | 70,359 | | | $ | 74,406 | | | $ | 83,489 | | | | Average advances outstanding during the period | | $ | 59,403 | | | $ | 66,426 | | | $ | 63,050 | | | | Weighted average interest rate during the period | | | 4.63 | % | | | 4.85 | % | | | 3.32 | % | | | Weighted average interest rate at end of period | | | 4.50 | % | | | 4.58 | % | | | 4.85 | % | | **Capital.**Total shareholders equity totaled $48.4 million at June 30, 2025, an increase of $372,000 or 0.8%, compared to June30, 20224. The increase was primarily due net earnings in the period as well as decreased accumulated other comprehensive loss. Effective January 1, 2015, the Company and the Banks became subject to the capital regulations in accordance with Basel III. These regulations established higher minimum risk-based capital ratio requirements, a new common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and a new capital conservation buffer (CCB). The regulations also included a revised definition of capital and changed the risk-weighting of certain assets. For purposes of prompt corrective action, the new regulations establish definitions of well capitalized as follows: | | | Minimum for banks to be well-capitalized under regulatory requirements | | | | Tier 1 Capital to Total Average Assets | | | 5.0 | % | | | Common Equity Tier 1 Capital | | | 6.5 | % | | | Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets | | | 8.0 | % | | | Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets | | | 10.0 | % | | **** 18 Additionally, the CCB of Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based capital above the minimum risk-based capital requirements was introduced. The CCB is 2.5%. The Company and the Banks, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments, engaging in share repurchases and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, must maintain the CCB at the appropriate level. *Community Bank Leverage Ratio* Certain community banks and holding companies (which include the Company, Frankfort First, First Federal of Kentucky and First Federal of Hazard) that satisfy certain qualifying criteria, including having less than $10 billion in average total consolidated assets and a leverage ratio (referred to as the community bank leverage ratio) of greater than 9%, were eligible to opt-in to the CBLR framework. The CBLR ratio is the ratio of a banking organizations Tier 1 capital to its average total consolidated assets as reported on the banking organizations applicable regulatory filings. The Banks elected to utilize the CBLR framework effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. See Note K-Stockholders Equity and Regulatory Capital in audited financial statements. At June 30, 2025, both First Federal of Hazards and First Federal of Kentuckys regulatory capital substantially exceeded all minimum regulatory capital requirements. Management is not aware of any recent event that would cause this classification to change. See Note K-Stockholders Equity and Regulatory Capital in the Notes to Financial Statements. **Results of Operations for the Years Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024** **General.**Net earnings totaled $181,000 or $0.02 diluted earnings per share for the year ended June 30, 2025, compared to net loss of $1.7 million or $(0.21) per common share for the twelve months ended June 30, 2024. Net income increased $1.9 million or 110.5% year to year primarily due to the lack of a non-cash goodwill impairment charge, increased net interest income, increased non-interest income, and decreased non-interest expenses, which were somewhat offset by increased income taxes and increased provision for loan losses. While year-to-year comparisons are somewhat skewed by the goodwill impairment in the year ended June 30, 2024, management believes the most important development is the increase in net interest income, increasing from $6.9 million in the year ended June 30, 2024 to $8.3 million in the current year, an increase of $1.3 million or 19.1%. This increase is almost entirely the result of increased interest income as interest expense also continued to increase, although at a slower pace. In the final quarter of 2024, ending June 30, we saw interest expense begin to decline and expect that to continue as nearly all certificates of deposit on very low rates have repriced and with Federal Open Market Committee interest rate cuts in 2024 and 2025, rates on certificates of deposit and borrowings will likely continue to decline. **Interest Income.** Total interest income for the fiscal year ended June30, 2025 was $19.2 million, an increase of $3.0 million, or 18.2%, compared to the fiscal year ended June30, 2024. The increase in interest income was due primarily to higher average rates earned on interest-earning assets, as well as higher average balances. Interest income from loans increased $2.7 million or 18.2% to $17.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2025 due to both an increase in the average volume of the portfolio and the rate earned on it. The average balance of the loan portfolio increased $7.9 million or 2.4% to $333.5 million for the year just ended, while the average rate earned increased 71 basis points to 5.32% for the period. Loans are the largest component of our interest-earning assets. 19 **** Interest income from mortgage-backed securities decreased $74,000 to $301,000 for the recently ended fiscal year primarily due to an decrease in the volume of mortgage backed securities and slightly due the average rate earned decreasing eight basis points. Income from other interest-earning assets increased $305,000 and totaled $1.2 million for the recently ended fiscal year. **** **Interest Expense.** Interest expense totaled $10.9 million for the fiscal year ended June30, 2025, an increase of $1.6 million, or 17.4%, from fiscal 2024. The increase in interest expense resulted primarily from higher average interest rates of funding sources, although the average balance of funding increased period to period. Interest expense on deposits increased $2.1 million or 34.4% for the 2025 fiscal year due to a combination of the average balance of deposits increasing $23.8 million or 10.3% as well as the average rate paid on deposits increasing 57 basis points to 3.20%. Interest expense on certificates of deposit was the primarily responsible for the increase in interest expense on deposits for the year, increasing $2.1 million to $8.0 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in the average balance of certificates, increasing $27.5 million to $187.9 million, while the average rate paid on certificates also increased 58 basis points to 4.20% for the year just ended. While interest expense on interest-bearing demand deposits increased $16,000 or 50.0% due to the average rate paid increasing 10 basis points to 0.29%, interest expense on savings deposits decreased $17,000 or 7.9% as the average balance decreased $3 million or 6.0%. Interest expense on FHLB borrowings decreased $473,000 or 14.7% and totaled $2.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Interest expense on FHLB borrowings primarily decreased due to decreased average balances, decreasing $7.0 million or 10.6% to $59.4 million compared to fiscal 2024. The average rate paid on FHLB borrowings also decreased 22 basis points and averaged 4.63%. **Net Interest Income.**As a result of the aforementioned changes in interest income and interest expense, net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $1.3 million or 19.3% to $8.3 million for the 2025 year. As indicated on the following table, our net interest margin increased from 1.98% for the 2024 fiscal year to 2.28 % for the year just ended. **** **Average Balances and Yields.** The following table presents information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends, the total dollar amount of interest expense and the resulting average yields and costs. The yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balances of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. For purposes of this table, average balances have been calculated using the average of daily balances and nonaccrual loans are included in average balances only. We did not hold any non-taxable securities during any of the periods presented in the table. 20 | | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | 2023 | | | | | | | | | Interest | | | | | | | | | Interest | | | | | | | | | Interest | | | | | | | | | Average | | | And | | | Yield/ | | | Average | | | And | | | Yield/ | | | Average | | | And | | | Yield/ | | | | (Dollars in thousands) | | Balance | | | Dividends | | | Cost | | | Balance | | | Dividends | | | Cost | | | Balance | | | Dividends | | | Cost | | | | Interest-earning assets: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Loans | | $ | 333,533 | | | $ | 17,742 | | | | 5.32 | % | | $ | 325,588 | | | $ | 15,013 | | | | 4.61 | % | | $ | 298,911 | | | $ | 11,814 | | | | 3.95 | % | | | Mortgage-backed securities | | | 9,046 | | | | 301 | | | | 3.33 | | | | 10,999 | | | | 375 | | | | 3.41 | | | | 13,516 | | | | 453 | | | | 3.35 | | | | Other securities | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | | Other interest-earning assets | | | 24,054 | | | | 1,194 | | | | 4.96 | | | | 15,947 | | | | 889 | | | | 5.58 | | | | 12,263 | | | | 493 | | | | 4.02 | | | | Total interest-earning assets | | | 366,633 | | | | 19,237 | | | | 5.25 | | | | 352,534 | | | | 16,277 | | | | 4.62 | | | | 324,690 | | | | 12,760 | | | | 3.93 | | | | Less: ALLL | | | (2,145 | ) | | | | | | | | | | | (1,969 | ) | | | | | | | | | | | (1,612 | ) | | | | | | | | | | | Noninterest-earning assets | | | 12,570 | | | | | | | | | | | | 12,399 | | | | | | | | | | | | 12,038 | | | | | | | | | | | | Total assets | | $ | 377,058 | | | | | | | | | | | $ | 362,964 | | | | | | | | | | | $ | 335,116 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Interest-bearing liabilities: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Demand deposits | | $ | 16,568 | | | $ | 48 | | | | 0.29 | % | | $ | 17,108 | | | $ | 32 | | | | 0.19 | % | | $ | 20,695 | | | $ | 38 | | | | 0.18 | % | | | Savings | | | 49,962 | | | | 199 | | | | 0.40 | | | | 53,128 | | | | 216 | | | | 0.41 | | | | 68,255 | | | | 298 | | | | 0.44 | | | | Certificates of deposit | | | 187,907 | | | | 7,899 | | | | 4.20 | | | | 160,431 | | | | 5,812 | | | | 3.62 | | | | 117,443 | | | | 1,475 | | | | 1.26 | | | | Total deposits | | | 254,437 | | | | 8,146 | | | | 3.20 | | | | 230,667 | | | | 6,060 | | | | 2.63 | | | | 206,393 | | | | 1,811 | | | | 0.88 | | | | Borrowings | | | 59,403 | | | | 2,750 | | | | 4.63 | | | | 66,426 | | | | 3,223 | | | | 4.85 | | | | 63,050 | | | | 2,091 | | | | 3.32 | | | | Total interest-bearing liabilities | | | 313,840 | | | | 10,896 | | | | 3.47 | | | | 297,093 | | | | 9,283 | | | | 3.12 | | | | 269,443 | | | | 3,902 | | | | 1.45 | | | | Noninterest-bearing demand deposits | | | 13,301 | | | | | | | | | | | | 14,733 | | | | | | | | | | | | 13,308 | | | | | | | | | | | | Noninterest-bearing liabilities | | | 2,036 | | | | | | | | | | | | 1,775 | | | | | | | | | | | | 935 | | | | | | | | | | | | Total liabilities | | | 329,177 | | | | | | | | | | | | 313,601 | | | | | | | | | | | | 283,686 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Shareholders equity | | | 47,881 | | | | | | | | | | | | 49,363 | | | | | | | | | | | | 51,430 | | | | | | | | | | | | Total liabilities and shareholders Equity | | $ | 377,058 | | | | | | | | | | | $ | 362,964 | | | | | | | | | | | $ | 335,116 | | | | | | | | | | | | Net interest income/average yield | | | | | | $ | 8,341 | | | | 1.78 | % | | | | | | $ | 6,994 | | | | 1.49 | % | | | | | | $ | 8,858 | | | | 2.48 | % | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Net interest margin | | | | | | | | | | | 2.28 | % | | | | | | | | | | | 1.98 | % | | | | | | | | | | | 2.73 | % | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Average interest-earning assets to Average interest-bearing liabilities | | | | | | | | | | | 116.82 | % | | | | | | | | | | | 118.66 | % | | | | | | | | | | | 120.51 | % | | 21 **** **Rate/Volume Analysis.**The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior year volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior year rate). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume. The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. | | | Twelve months ended June 30, 2025 | | | Twelve months ended June 30, 2024 | | | | | | Increase (Decrease) Due to Changes In | | | Increase (Decrease) Due to Changes In | | | | (In thousands) | | Volume | | | Rate | | | Total | | | Volume | | | Rate | | | Total | | | | Interest-earning assets: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Loans | | $ | 374 | | | $ | 2,355 | | | $ | 2,729 | | | $ | 1,116 | | | $ | 2,085 | | | $ | 3,201 | | | | Mortgage-backed securities | | | (65 | ) | | | (9 | ) | | | (74 | ) | | | (86 | ) | | | 8 | | | | (78 | ) | | | Other interest-earning assets | | | 389 | | | | (84 | ) | | | 305 | | | | 174 | | | | 222 | | | | 396 | | | | Total interest-earning assets | | | 698 | | | | 2,262 | | | | 2,960 | | | | 1,204 | | | | 2,315 | | | | 3,519 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Interest-bearing liabilities: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Demand deposits | | $ | (1 | ) | | $ | 17 | | | $ | 16 | | | $ | (7 | ) | | $ | 1 | | | $ | (6 | ) | | | Savings | | | (13 | ) | | | (4 | ) | | | (17 | ) | | | (63 | ) | | | (19 | ) | | | (82 | ) | | | Certificates of deposit | | | 1,078 | | | | 1,009 | | | | 2,087 | | | | 705 | | | | 3,632 | | | | 4,337 | | | | Borrowings | | | (330 | ) | | | (143 | ) | | | (473 | ) | | | 117 | | | | 1,015 | | | | 1,132 | | | | Total interest-bearing liabilities | | | 734 | | | | 879 | | | | 1,613 | | | | 752 | | | | 4,629 | | | | 5,381 | | | | Increase (decrease) in net interest income | | $ | (36 | ) | | $ | 1,383 | | | $ | 1,347 | | | $ | 452 | | | $ | (2,314 | ) | | $ | (1,862 | ) | | **Provision for Credit Losses.** A provision for credit losses on loans is charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for credit losses at a level calculated by management based on historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Banks, the status of past due principal and interest payments and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. Based upon an analysis of these factors, management recorded a provision of $39,000 for losses on loans for the fiscal year ended June30, 2025, an increase of $15,000, compared to a provision of $24,000 for fiscal 2024. Management believes all nonperforming loans are adequately collateralized or have been written down to their realizable value. See discussion of **Allowance for Credit Losses and Asset Quality above.** **Non-interest Income.**Non-interest income increased $249,000 or 99.2% to $500,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, due primarily to an increase of $187,000 in net gains on sales of loans. **Non-interest Expense.**Non-interest expense excluding goodwill impairment of $947,000 taken in fiscal year 2024 increased $330,000 or 4.0% in 2025 due to increased other non-interest expense, data processing fees, and outside service fees. Other non-interest expense increased $186,000 or 33.8% and totaled $737,000 primarily due to increased legal expenses, in part due to the formal agreement between First Federal of Kentucky and the OCC. Data processing expense increased $157,000 or 30.4% and totaled $674,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 due to increased costs associated with the core processing system. Outside service fees increased $60,000 or 13.3% and totaled $511,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025 due to additional third-parties used , in part due to the formal agreement between First Federal of Kentucky and the OCC. 22 **Income Taxes.**Income tax expense increased $296,000 or 123.8% from a benefit of $239,000 for the fiscal year ended 2024 to an expense of $57,000 in 2025. The increase in income tax expense was primarily related to higher overall earnings year to year. The effective income tax rate for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was 24.0% and 12.2%, respectively. **Liquidity and Capital Resources** Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future short-term financial obligations. Our primary sources of funds consist of cash and deposits at other banks, deposit inflows, loan repayments and maturities, calls and sales of investment and mortgage-backed securities and advances from the FHLB. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We periodically assess our available liquidity and projected upcoming liquidity demands. We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of (1)expected loan demand, (2)expected deposit flows, (3)yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and (4)the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits, federal funds, and short- and intermediate-term U.S. Government agency obligations. Our most liquid assets are cash, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2025 and June30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled $19.5million and $18.3million, respectively. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $9.8 million and $9.6 million at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We are not aware of any trends and/or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that could result in a material protracted decrease in liquidity. We expect that all our liquidity needs, including the contractual commitments can be met by our currently available liquid assets and cash flows. In the event any unforeseen demand or commitments were to occur, we have access to brokered deposits, FHLB advances, the Federal Reserve Discount Window and an unsecured line of credit with a correspondent bank. We expect that our currently available liquid assets and our ability to access our other liquidity sources would be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity needs without any material adverse effect on our liquidity. Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities. In fiscal 2025 we originated $52.3 million of loans, which was less than loan prepayments and repayments by $5.6 million. In fiscal 2024 we originated $69.2 million of loans, which exceeded loan prepayments and repayments by $19.8 million. During fiscal 2025 and 2024 proceeds from principal repayments on loans totaled $57.9 million and $49.4 million, respectively. Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts and in FHLB advances. Total deposits increased $21.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2025, compared to a net increase of $29.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2024. We decreased FHLB advances by $26.2 million or 38.0% from June 30, 2024 to June 30, 2025. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the products and corresponding interest rates offered by us and our local competitors and other factors. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive and to increase core deposit relationships. The Banks began using brokered deposits more in the latter part of the fiscal year 2024 and had $52.0 million at June 30, 2024 compared to $44.0 million in such deposits as of June 30, 2025. FHLB advances are collateralized by a blanket mortgage on the 1-4 family residential mortgages and multi-family residential mortgages owned by the Banks. See Note H-Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank in Notes to Consolidated financial Statements. At June 30, 2025, the Banks had combined additional FHLB borrowing capacity of $71.0 million. **Commitments and Contractual Obligations** At June 30, 2025, we had $10.0 million in mortgage commitments. Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2025 totaled $167.1 million, or 60.2% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we might be required to seek other sources of funds, including FHLB advances or other certificates of deposit. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before June 30, 2025. We believe, however, based on past experience, that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered. 23 **** **Off-balance Sheet Arrangements** For the year ended June30, 2025, other than loan commitments, we engaged in no off-balance-sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. **** **Dividend Policy** The Company has historically paid a strong dividend. In order to do so, the Company has relied on a dividend waiver by First Federal MHC. Approximately 58.5% of the shares of Kentucky First Federal are held by First Federal MHC, a mutual holding company created in 2005. Under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System mutual holding companies, who have waived their dividends prior to December 1, 2009, may continue to waive these dividends provided there is no objection by the Federal Reserve. This waiver action is conditioned on providing appropriate notice and absent the Federal Reserves determination that the waiver would be detrimental to the safe and sound operations of the Banks. First Federal MHC put the issue to a vote of the members August 2012 and each of the succeeding years since 2012 through 2023. Members of First Federal MHC voted in favor of the dividend waiver on all occasions and the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland subsequently approved the waiver of the dividends including an approval in 2023 that permitted First Federal MHC to waive the receipt of dividends for quarterly dividends up to $0.10 per common share through the third quarter of 2024. However, the Company announced a suspension of the payment of quarterly dividends in January, 2024. First Federal MHC has not sought a dividend waiver in 2024 but is expected to hold a member vote to approve the waiver if the Companys dividend payments are restored. **** **Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices** Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on our performance than do general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services. 24 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders, Board of Directors and Audit Committee of Kentucky First Federal Bancorp Frankfort, Kentucky **** **Opinion on the Financial Statements** **** **We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Kentucky First Federal Bancorp (the Company) as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 and the related consolidated statement of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders equity, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.** **** **Basis for Opinion** **** **These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.** **** **We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.** **** **Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.** **Critical Audit Matters** **** **The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.** **** 25 **Allowance for Credit Losses on Collectively Evaluated Loans Qualitative Adjustments - Refer to Notes A and C to the financial statements** **** **Critical Audit Matter Description** **** **Managements estimate of the allowance for credit losses (ACL), includes a reserve on collectively evaluated loans. The reserve on collectively evaluated loans is based on historical loss rates adjusted for qualitative factors. Managements adjustment for qualitative factors include actual and expected changes in regional and local economic and business conditions and developments in which the Company operates that affect the collectability of financial assets; the effect of other external factors such as the regulatory, legal and technological environments, competition, and events such as natural disasters or pandemics; and model risk including statistical risk, reversion risk, timing risk, and model limitation risk.** **** **Significant judgment was required by management in the selection and application of key metrics used to derive the quantitative portion of the ACL. Accordingly, performing audit procedures to evaluate the Companys estimated ACL involved a high degree of auditor judgment and required significant effort.** **** **How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit** **** **Our audit procedures related to the Companys estimate of the ACL included, but were not limited to, the following:** **** | | We tested the process for determining reserves on collectively evaluated loans including: | | | o | Evaluation of the appropriateness of managements methodology. | | | o | Testing the completeness and accuracy of data utilized by management. | | | o | Evaluation of the relevance and reliability of information used by management in the development of the estimate. | | | o | Evaluation of reasonableness of significant assumptions used in the qualitative analysis. | | | o | We discussed the calculation and assumptions with the third party vendor and evaluated the reasonableness of assumptions and recalculated amounts for accuracy. | | | o | Evaluation of the reasonableness of qualitative adjustment factors, including consideration of whether the adjustments applied were reasonable given portfolio composition; relevant external factors, including economic conditions; and consideration of historical or recent experience and conditions and events affecting the Company. | | **/s/ Clark, Schaefer, Hackett & Co.** **** **We have served as the Companys auditor since 2024.** **** **Cincinnati, Ohio** **September 30, 2025** 26 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS** June 30, 2025 and 2024 (Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data) | | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | | ASSETS | | | | | | | | | Cash and due from financial institutions | | $ | 2,342 | | | $ | 1,913 | | | | Fed funds sold | | | 8,577 | | | | 703 | | | | Interest-bearing demand deposits | | | 8,561 | | | | 15,671 | | | | Cash and cash equivalents | | | 19,480 | | | | 18,287 | | | | Securities available-for-sale- at fair value | | | 9,757 | | | | 9,648 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Securities held-to-maturity, at amortized cost-approximate fair value of $167 and $203 at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively | | | 171 | | | | 213 | | | | Loans held for sale | | | 877 | | | | 110 | | | | Loans, net of allowance for credit losses of $2,170 and $2,127 at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively | | | 327,248 | | | | 333,025 | | | | Real estate acquired through foreclosure | | | -

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** Kentucky First Federal Bancorp (the Company) is a savings and loan holding company whose activities are primarily limited to holding the stock and managing the operations of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Hazard, Kentucky (First Federal of Hazard) and Frankfort First Bancorp, Inc., (Frankfort First) the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank of Kentucky (First Federal of Kentucky). First Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Kentucky are collectively referred to herein as the Banks. First Federal of Hazard is a community-oriented savings and loan association dedicated to serving consumers in Perry and surrounding counties in eastern Kentucky, while First Federal of Kentucky operates through six banking offices located in Frankfort, Danville and Lancaster, Kentucky. Both institutions engage primarily in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and applying those funds to the origination of loans for residential and consumer purposes. First Federal of Kentucky also originates, to a lesser extent, church loans, home equity and other loans. Other than a predominance of one- to four-family residential property, which is common in most thrifts, there are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer. However, the customers ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic conditions in the Banks specific operating areas. The Banks profitability is significantly dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income generated from interest-earning assets (i.e. loans and investments) and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities (i.e. customer deposits and borrowed funds). Net interest income is affected by the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest received or paid on these balances. The level of interest rates paid or received by the Banks can be significantly influenced by a number of environmental factors, such as governmental monetary policy, that are outside of managements control. The following is a summary of the Companys significant accounting policies which have been consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 1. Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, First Federal of Hazard, Frankfort First and First Federal of Kentucky. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 2. Use of Estimates: The consolidated financial information presented herein has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP.) To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the allowance for credit losses, goodwill, and deferred taxes. 3. Debt Securities: Debt securities are classified as held to maturity or available for sale. Securities classified as held to maturity are to be carried at cost only if the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. Securities designated as available for sale are carried at fair value with resulting unrealized gains or losses recorded to shareholders equity, net of tax. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method. 33 **** **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. 4. Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal amount outstanding, adjusted for deferred loan origination costs, net, discounts on purchased loans, and the allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance unless the collectability of the loan is in doubt. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. Interest income on one- to four-family residential loans is generally discontinued at the time a loan is 180 days delinquent and on other loans at the time a loan is 90 days delinquent. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days still on accrual include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans. All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. **Residential Real Estate** Our primary lending activity is the origination of mortgage loans, which enable a borrower to purchase or refinance existing homes in the Banks respective market areas. We further classify our residential real estate loans as one- to four-family (owner-occupied vs nonowner-occupied), multi-family or construction. We believe that our first mortgage position on loans secured by residential real estate presents lower risk than our other loans, with the exception of loans secured by deposits. We offer a mix of adjustable-rate and fixed-rate mortgage loans with terms up to 30 years for owner-occupied properties. For these properties a borrower may be able to borrow up to 95% of the value with private mortgage insurance. Alternatively, the borrower may be able to borrow up to 90% of the value through other programs offered by the bank. We offer loans on one- to four-family rental properties at a maximum of 80% loan-to-value (LTV) ratio and we generally charge a slightly higher interest rate on such loans. We also originate loans to individuals to finance the construction of residential dwellings for personal use or for use as rental property. We occasionally lend to builders for construction of speculative or custom residential properties for resale, but on a limited basis. Construction loans are generally less than one year in length, do not exceed 80% of the appraised value, and provide for the payment of interest only during the construction phase. Funds are disbursed as progress is made toward completion of the construction. 34 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** **Multi-family and Nonresidential Loans** We offer mortgage loans secured by residential multi-family (five or more units), and nonresidential real estate. Nonresidential real estate loans are comprised generally of commercial office buildings, churches and properties used for other purposes. Generally, these loans are originated for 25 years or less and do not exceed 80% of the appraised value. Loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. These loans depend on the borrowers creditworthiness and the feasibility and cash flow potential of the project. Payments on loans secured by income properties often depend on successful operation and management of the properties. As a result, repayment on such loans may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market or economy than owner-occupied residential loans. **Consumer lending** Our consumer loans include home equity lines of credit, loans secured by savings deposits, automobile loans, and unsecured loans. Home equity loans are generally second mortgage loans subordinate only to first mortgages also held by the bank and do not exceed 80% of the estimated value of the property. We do offer home equity loans up to 90% of the estimated value to qualified borrowers and these loans carry a premium interest rate. Loans secured by savings are originated up to 90% of the depositors savings account balance and bear interest at a rate higher than the rate paid on the deposit account. Because the deposit account must be pledged as collateral to secure the loan, the inherent risk of this type of loan is minimal. Loans secured by automobiles are made directly to consumers (there are no relationships with dealers) and are based on the value of the vehicle and the borrowers creditworthiness. Vehicle loans present a higher level of risk because of the natural decline in the value of the property as well as its mobility. Unsecured loans are based entirely on the borrowers creditworthiness and present the highest level of risk to the bank. The Banks choose the most appropriate method for accounting for impaired loans. For secured loans, which make up the vast majority of the loans in the Banks portfolio, this method involves determining the fair value of the collateral, reduced by estimated selling costs. Where appropriate, the Banks would account for impaired loans by determining the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Although most of our loans are secured by collateral, we rely heavily on the capacity of our borrowers to generate sufficient cash flow to service their debt. As a result, our loans do not become collateral-dependent until there is deterioration in the borrowers cash flow and financial condition, which makes it necessary for us to look to the collateral for our sole source of repayment. Collateral-dependent loans which are more than ninety days delinquent are considered to constitute more than a minimum delay in repayment and are evaluated for impairment under the policy at that time. We utilize updated independent appraisals to determine fair value for collateral-dependent loans, adjusted for estimated selling costs, in determining our specific reserve. In some situations, management does not secure an updated independent appraisal. These situations may involve small loan amounts or loans that, in managements opinion, have an abnormally low loan-to-value ratio. With respect to the Banks investment in troubled debt restructurings, multi-family and nonresidential loans, and the evaluation of impairment thereof, such loans are nonhomogenous and, as such, may be deemed to be collateral-dependent when they become more than 90 days delinquent. We obtain updated independent appraisals in these situations or when we suspect that the previous appraisal may no longer be reflective of the propertys current fair value. This process varies from loan to loan, borrower to borrower, and also varies based on the nature of the collateral. 35 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 5. Loans held for sale, Mortgage Servicing Rights, and Lender Risk Account: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost (less principal payments received) or fair value, calculated on an aggregate basis. At June 30, 2025 and 2024 the Company had $877,000 and $110,000 in loans held for sale, respectively. In selling loans, the Company utilizes a program with the Federal Home Loan Bank, retaining servicing on loans sold. Mortgage servicing rights on originated loans that have been sold are initially recorded at fair value. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing revenues. The Company recorded amortization related to mortgage servicing rights totaling $15,000 and $17,000 during the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The carrying value of the Companys mortgage servicing rights totaled approximately $203,000 and $163,000 at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The fair value of the Companys mortgage servicing rights totaled approximately $203,000 and $207,000 at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company was servicing mortgage loans of approximately $25.3 million and $20.4 million that had been sold to the Federal Home Loan Bank at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular grouping, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. Changes in valuation allowances are reported with other non-interest income on the income statement. The fair values of servicing rights are subject to significant fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. Servicing fee income which is reported on the income statement as other non-interest income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income. Servicing fees totaled $54,000 and $3,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing are not material. Certain loan sale transactions with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB) provide for the establishment of a Lender Reserve Account (LRA). The LRA consists of amounts withheld by FHLB from loan sale proceeds for absorbing inherent losses that are probable on those sold loans. These withheld funds are an asset to the Company, as they are scheduled to be paid to the Company in future years, net of any credit losses on those loans sold. The receivables are initially measured at fair value. The fair value is estimated by discounting the cash flows over the life of each master commitment contract. The accretable yield is amortized over the life of the master commitment contract. Expected cash flows are reevaluated at each measurement date. If there is an adverse change in expected cash flows, the accretable yield would be adjusted on a prospective basis and the asset evaluated for impairment. The level of LRA held was $465,000 at June 30, 2025 and $331,000 at June 30, 2024. 36 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 6. Allowance for Credit Losses: The allowance for credit losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, trends in the level of delinquent and problem loans, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and current and anticipated economic conditions in the primary lending area. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in managements judgment, should be charged off. The Company uses the weighted average remaining maturity (WARM) method in calculating the allowance for credit losses. Historical charge off data combined with a peer group of similar banks within the region is used along with estimates of the weighted average life of the loan portfolio by concentration group. Qualitative factors are also used in calculating this estimate, which are factors that are estimated based on bank specific variables including local unemployment, concentrations in particular industries, reputation of the bank and more. 7. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock: The Banks are members of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as interest income. 8. Real Estate Owned: Real estate acquired through or instead of foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling expenses at the date of acquisition, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. If fair value declines subsequently, the carrying value is adjusted through a valuation allowance and the amount is recorded through expense. Costs relating to holding real estate owned, net of rental income, are charged against earnings as incurred. 9. Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of premises and equipment includes expenditures which extend the useful lives of existing assets. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. For financial reporting, depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets, estimated to be forty years for buildings, ten to forty years for building improvements, and five to ten years for furniture and equipment. When management initiates a plan to dispose of assets, those assets are transferred to fixed assets held for sale and evaluated for potential impairment. At both June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no fixed assets held for sale. 10. Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. Deferred tax assets are recorded only to the extent that the amount of net deductible temporary differences or carryforward attributes may be utilized against current period earnings, carried back against prior years earnings, offset against taxable temporary differences reversing in future periods, or utilized to the extent of managements estimate of future taxable income. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax liabilities are provided on the total amount of net temporary differences taxable in the future. A tax provision is recognized as a benefit only if it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters as income tax expense. 37 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** Kentucky First Federal Bancorp and Frankfort First Bancorp, Inc., each are subject to state income taxes in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2020. 11. Retirement and Employee Benefit Plans: The Banks participate in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (The Pentegra DB Plan), which is a tax-qualified, multi-employer defined benefit pension fund covering all employees who qualify as to length of service. The Pentegra DB Plans Employer Identification Number is 13-5645888 and the Plan Number is 333. The Pentegra DB Plan operates as a multi-employer plan for accounting purposes and as a multiple-employer plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code. The Pentegra DB Plan is a single plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 413(c) and, as a result, all of the assets stand behind all of the liabilities. Accordingly, under the Pentegra DB Plan contributions made by a participating employer may be used to provide benefits to participants of other participating employers. Total contributions made to the Pentegra DB Plan, as reported on Form 5500, equal $61.4 million and $135.8 million for the plan years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our contributions for fiscal 2025 and 2024 were not more than 5% of the total contributions made to the Pentegra DB Plan. Pension expense is the net contributions, which are based upon covered employees age and salaries and are dependent upon the ultimate prescribed benefits of the participants and the funded status of the plan. The Company recognized expense related to the plans totaling approximately $390,000 and $439,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. There are no collective bargaining agreements in place that require contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan. As of July 1, 2025, the most recent period for which information is available, the Banks had an adjusted funding target attainment percentage (AFTAP) of 82.02%. There are no funding improvement plans or surcharges to participants. Effective July 1, 2016, sponsorship of the plan was transferred to the Company, benefits ratios were standardized and prospectively each bank will contribute to the plan based generally on its pro rata share of future benefits. Effective April 1, 2019, the Company elected to freeze benefits to its employee participants. The Company maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), a tax-qualified defined contribution stock bonus plan for all full-time employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who have completed one year of service and have attained the age of 21. In connection with the implementations of the ESOP, the company financed the purchase of the ESOP shares with a 20 year loan and each year during the term of the loan contributions were made to the ESOP equal to the ESOPs debt service less dividends received by the ESOP on unallocated shares. The cost of the ESOP shares is shown as a reduction of stockholders equity. The loan was fully repaid during the year ended June 30, 2023. Vested shares of the Company common stock allocated to participant accounts are distributed to participants following their termination of employment. 226,313 shares of Company common stock were distributed from the ESOP as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. 38 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** The amounts contributed to the ESOP were $0 for both years 2025 and 2024 and no future expense for contributions is expected. | | | For the fiscal year ended | | | | | | June30, | | | | | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | | Allocated shares | | | 110,660 | | | | 110,660 | | | | Shares committed to be released | | | - | | | | - | | | | Unearned shares | | | - | | | | - | | | | Total ESOP shares | | | 110,660 | | | | 110,660 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fair value of unearned shares atend of period | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for the benefit of all full-time employees.

Earnings Per Share: Diluted earnings per share is computed taking into consideration common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares to be issued or released under the Companys share-based compensation plans. There is no adjustment to net earnings for the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The factors used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the fiscal years ended June 30 follow: | | | For the fiscal year ended | | | | | | June30, | | | | | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | | Net income (loss) allocated to common shareholders, basic and diluted | | $ | 181,000 | | | $ | (1,721,000 | ) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | EARNINGSPER SHARE | | $ | 0.02 | | | $ | (0.21 | ) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic and diluted | | | 8,098,715 | | | | 8,098,715 | | | Basic earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted-average shares outstanding during the year (which excludes treasury shares) less average shares in the ESOP that are unallocated and not committed to be released. There were no options outstanding for fiscal years 2025 and 2024. 13. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities: Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values: **Level 1** - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. 39 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** **Level 2**- Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. **Level 3**- Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a companys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. **Securities** Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2025 and 2024. The securities represented are only those classified as available-for sale. | | | | | | Fair Value Measurements Using | | | | | | | | | Quotes Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets | | | Significant Other Observable Inputs | | | Significant Unobservable Inputs | | | | (in thousands) | | Fair Value | | | (Level 1) | | | (Level 2) | | | (Level 3) | | | | 2025 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Agency mortgage-backed: residential | | $ | 9,757 | | | $ | - | | | $ | 9,757 | | | $ | - | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2024 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Agency mortgage-backed: residential | | $ | 9,648 | | | $ | - | | | $ | 9,648 | | | $ | - | | | There were no transfers between levels 1 and 2. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2025 and 2024. The following disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, is based on the assumptions presented for each particular item and for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For financial instruments where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value and other valuation methods. 40 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 13. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities: (continued) The methods used are greatly affected by the assumptions applied, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Therefore, the fair values presented may not represent amounts that could be realized in an exchange for certain financial instruments. The Companys financial instruments at June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows: | | | | | | Fair Value Measurements at | | | | | | Carrying | | | June30, 2025 Using | | | | (in thousands) | | Value | | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | | | | Financial assets | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 19,480 | | | $ | 19,480 | | | | | | | | | | | $ | 19,480 | | | | Available-for-sale securities | | | 9,757 | | | | | | | $ | 9,757 | | | | | | | | 9,757 | | | | Held-to-maturity securities | | | 171 | | | | | | | | 171 | | | | | | | | 171 | | | | Loans receivable - net | | | 327,248 | | | | | | | | | | | $ | 319,432 | | | | 319,432 | | | | Federal Home Loan Bank stock | | | 3,980 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | n/a | | | | Accrued interest receivable | | | 1,438 | | | | | | | | 1,438 | | | | | | | | 1,438 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Financial liabilities | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Deposits | | $ | 277,563 | | | $ | 77,988 | | | $ | 199,603 | | | | | | | $ | 277,591 | | | | Federal Home Loan Bank advances | | | 42,760 | | | | | | | | 42,837 | | | | | | | | 42,837 | | | | Advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance | | | 869 | | | | | | | | 869 | | | | | | | | 869 | | | | Accrued interest payable | | | 949 | | | | | | | | 949 | | | | | | | | 949 | | | | | | | | | Fair Value Measurements at | | | | | | Carrying | | | June30, 2024 Using | | | | (in thousands) | | Value | | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | | | | Financial assets | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 18,287 | | | $ | 18,287 | | | | | | | | | | | $ | 18,287 | | | | Available-for-sale securities | | | 9,648 | | | | | | | $ | 9,648 | | | | | | | | 9,648 | | | | Held-to-maturity securities | | | 213 | | | | | | | | 203 | | | | | | | | 203 | | | | Loans receivable - net | | | 333,025 | | | | | | | | | | | $ | 318,867 | | | | 318,867 | | | | Federal Home Loan Bank stock | | | 4,230 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | n/a | | | | Accrued interest receivable | | | 1,169 | | | | | | | | 1,169 | | | | | | | | 1,169 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Financial liabilities | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Deposits | | $ | 256,139 | | | $ | 79,567 | | | $ | 176,272 | | | | | | | $ | 255,839 | | | | Federal Home Loan Bank advances | | | 68,988 | | | | | | | | 68,122 | | | | | | | | 68,122 | | | | Advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance | | | 909 | | | | | | | | 909 | | | | | | | | 909 | | | | Accrued interest payable | | | 176 | | | | | | | | 176 | | | | | | | | 176 | | | 41 **** **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 14. Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions with original maturities of less than ninety days. 15. Goodwill: Goodwill of $14.5 million was originally recorded in March 2005 when the Company, as part of its initial public offering, purchased Frankfort First Bancorp, Inc., with a portion of the stock and cash proceeds from the offering. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. At June 30, 2023, the company had $947,000 remaining goodwill that had not been considered impaired. At June 30, 2024, the annual impairment test indicated that goodwill was impaired and a goodwill impairment charge equal to the entire balance of our $947,000 goodwill balance was taken. 16. Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance: First Federal of Kentucky has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Bank-owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement. 17. Treasury Stock: Treasury stock is stated at cost. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. 18. Related Party Transactions: Loans outstanding to executive officers, directors, significant shareholders and their affiliates (related parties) at June 30, 2025 and 2024 are summarized as follows: | (in thousands) | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | | Outstanding principal, beginning of year | | $ | 979 | | | $ | 480 | | | | Changes in composition of related parties | | | - | | | | 338 | | | | Principal disbursed during the year | | | 327 | | | | 194 | | | | Principal repaid and refinanced during the year | | | (244 | ) | | | (33 | ) | | | Outstanding principal, end of year | | $ | 1,062 | | | $ | 979 | | | Deposits from related parties held by the Company at June 30, 2025 and 2024 totaled $2.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. In managements opinion, such loans and other extensions of credit and deposits were made in the ordinary course of business and were made on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. Further, in managements opinion, these loans did not involve more than normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. 19. Comprehensive Income and Accumulated Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of tax, for the period which are also recognized as separate components of equity. Accumulated comprehensive income (loss) consists solely of unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities at the end of the period. 42 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** 20. Revenue Recognition: The Companys revenue-generating activities accounted for under Topic 606 includes primarily service charges and fees on deposits and other service charges and fees and comprise the majority of other non-interest income on the statement of income. Service charges and fees on deposits are primarily debit card interchange fees and automatic teller machine (ATM) surcharge fees. To a lesser extent service charges and fees also include overdraft fees, dormant account fees, and service charges on checking and savings accounts. Overdraft fees are recognized at the time an account is overdrawn. Dormant account fees are recognized when an account is inactive for at least 365 days. Service charges on checking and savings accounts are primarily account maintenance services performed and recognized in the same calendar month. Other deposit-based service charges and fees include transaction-based services completed at the request of the customer and recognized at the time the transaction is completed. These transaction-based services include ATM usage and stop payment services. All service charges and fees on deposits are withdrawn from the customers account at the time the service is provided. 21. 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 are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements. 22. Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. 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. 23. Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Banks to the holding company or by the holding company to shareholders. 24. Operating Segments: The Company operates as a single reportable segment, which reflects the manner in which the Chief Executive Officer evaluates financial performance and allocates resources. The Chief Executive Officer reviews consolidated financial information, including total revenues, net interest income, noninterest income, and net income, to assess performance and make operating decisions. As the Company operates in one segment, all significant segment expenses and other items are included in the consolidated financial statements. The following significant expense categories are regularly provided to the Chief Executive Officer and are included in the measure of segment profit and loss: | | - | Interest expense | | | | - | Provision for credit losses | | | | - | Compensation and employee benefits | | | | - | Occupancy and equipment | | | | - | Technology and communications | | | | - | Professional services | | 43 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** The Company also considers the following other segment items in evaluating performance: | | - | Income tax expense | | | | - | Depreciation and amortization | | | | - | Net gains/losses on securities and other financial instruments | | No additional measures of segment profit or loss are used by the Chief Executive Officer. The Company does not allocate assets or liabilities to the segment for internal reporting purposes, and therefore such disclosures are not presented. 25. New Accounting Standards: **FASB ASC 326 -** In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.This standard requires credit losses on most financial assets and certain other instruments to be measured using an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model. Under this model entities estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument (considering estimated prepayments, but not expected extensions or modifications) from the date of initial recognition of that instrument. The ASU replaces the current accounting model for purchased credit impaired and debt securities. The allowance for credit losses for purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination (referred to as PCD assets), should be determined in a similar manner to other financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis. However, upon initial recognition, the allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price to determine the initial amortized cost basis. The subsequent accounting for PCD financial assets is the same expected loss model described herein. The Company will now use forward-looking information to enhance its credit loss estimates. The amendment requires enhanced disclosures to aid investors and other users of financial statements to better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of our portfolio. The largest impact to the Company was on its allowance for loan and lease losses, although the ASU also amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities, held-to-maturity securities, and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The standard was effective for public companies for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. However, the FASB delayed the implementation of the ASU for smaller reporting companies until years beginning after December 15, 2022, or in the Companys case the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2023. ASU 2016-13 was applied through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings (modified-retrospective approach). In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities. One such change requires credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on AFS securities. Management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not that they will be required to sell. We adopted ASC 326 effective July 1, 2023, using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet (OBS) credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after July 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. Upon adoption of the ASU we recorded an increase in the allowance for credit loss (ACL) for loans which represented a $497,000 increase from the Allowance for Loan Losses (ALLL) at June 30, 2023. This transaction further resulted in an increase of $54,000 to the ACL for unfunded commitments, a decrease of $414,000 to retained earnings and a deferred tax asset of $137,000. 44 **** **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** **Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective**: In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-06 Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SECs Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative (ASU 2023-06).**The amendments in this ASU are the result of FASBs decision to incorporate into the Accounting Standards Codification certain disclosure requirements, referred by the SEC, for incremental information to US GAAP. Topics in the ASU that have applicability to the Company are (1)*Statement of Cash Flows*which requires an accounting policy disclosure in annual periods of where cash flows associated with derivative instruments and their related gains and losses are presented in the statement of cash flows, (2)*Debt*which requires disclosure of amounts and terms of unused lines of credit and unfunded commitments and the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding short-term borrowings, and (3)*Derivatives and Hedging*which adds cross-reference to disclosure requirements related to where cash flows associated with derivative instruments and their related gains and losses are presented in the statement of cash flows. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SECs removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Accounting Standards Codification and will not become effective for any entity. Management is reviewing the provisions of ASU 2023-06, and does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have a material effect on the Companys financial statements. In December 2023, FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09). FASB issued ASU 2023-09 to address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is to be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. ASU 2023-09 will impact income tax disclosures, and the Company does not expect a material impact to the Companys consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03*Income Statement**Reporting Comprehensive Income**Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)*. The amendments in this update require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period (1) the Company disclose the amounts of (a) employee compensation, (b) depreciation, and (c) intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contains any of the expense categories listed; (2) include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements; (3) disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively; (4) disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, the Companys definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this update or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Management is currently evaluating the update and does not expect adoption of the update to have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations. 45 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** **Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in Fiscal Year 2025:**In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07*Segment Reporting*(ASU 2023-07). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 apply to all public entities that are required to report segment information in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through requiring enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. Public entities are required to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. In addition, public entities must provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segments profit or loss and assets currently required by FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting in interim periods. The amendments clarify that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segments profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit. However, at least one of the reported segment profit or loss measures (or the single reported measure, if only one is disclosed) should be the measure that is most consistent with the measurement principles used in measuring the corresponding amounts in the public entitys consolidated financial statements. The amendments require that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Finally, the amendments require that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in ASU 2023-07 and all existing segment disclosures in ASC Topic 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity that adopts ASU 2023-07 is required to apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon adoption of ASU 2023-07, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on January 1, 2025 with little impact as currently the Company's financial service operations are aggregated into one reportable operating segment. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07,*Segment Reporting (Topic 280)*: *Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures*. The amendments in this update require annual and interim disclosures on significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and require annual and interim disclosures on other segment items, where the other segment items category is the difference between segment revenue less segment expense compared to the reported measure of segment profit or loss. In addition, the amendments require all annual disclosures that are currently required to be reported on an interim basis and require the disclosure of the title and position of the chief operating decision maker and how that position uses the information to assess segment performance and the allocation of resources. While the Company only has one reportable segment, the update requires public entities with a single segment to provide all segment disclosures under ASC 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December15, 2023, and interim periods within the fiscal years beginning after December15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the fiscal year ended June30, 2025, and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. 46 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE B - SECURITIES** The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair value of the available for sale securities and held to maturity investment securities portfolio at June 30, 2025 and 2024 and the corresponding amounts of gross unrealized or unrecognized gains and losses. Unrealized gains or losses apply to available-for-sale securities and are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, while unrealized gains or losses on held-to-maturity securities are not recognized in the financial statements. The gains and losses are as follows: | | | 2025 | | | | (in thousands) | | Amortized cost | | | Gross unrealized gains | | | Gross unrealized losses | | | Estimated fair value | | | | Available-for-sale Securities | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Agency mortgage-backed residential | | $ | 9,950 | | | $ | - | | | $ | 193 | | | $ | 9,757 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Held-to-maturity Securities | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Agency mortgage-backed: residential | | $ | 171 | | | $ | - | | | $ | 4 | | | $ | 167 | | | | | | 2024 | | | | (in thousands) | | Amortized cost | | | Gross unrealized gains | | | Gross unrealized losses | | | Estimated fair value | | | | Available-for-sale Securities | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Agency mortgage-backed residential | | $ | 10,096 | | | $ | - | | | $ | 448 | | | $ | 9,648 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Held-to-maturity Securities | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Agency mortgage-backed: residential | | $ | 213 | | | $ | - | | | $ | 10 | | | $ | 203 | | | At June 30, 2025, the Companys debt securities consisted of mortgage-backed securities, which do not have a single maturity date. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities, because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. There were no sales of securities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 or 2024. At June 30, 2025 the Company had $6.7 million in available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities with gross unrealized losses of $173,000 that had been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months and $2.0 million in available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities with gross unrealized losses of $20,000 that had been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. At June 30, 2024, the Company had $9.6 million in available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities with gross unrealized losses of $448,000 that had been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months and $0 in available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities with gross unrealized losses that had been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. 47 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE B - SECURITIES (continued)** At June 30, 2025 the Company had $103,000 in held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities with gross unrealized losses of $5,000 that had been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months and no held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities with gross unrealized losses that had been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. At June 30, 2024 the Company had $213,000 in held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities with gross unrealized losses of $10,000 that had been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months and no held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities with gross unrealized losses that had been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. Securities in an unrealized loss position as a percent of total securities were 88.8% at June 30, 2025 and 100% at June 30, 2024. Unrealized losses on agency mortgage-backed securities have not been recognized into income because they are of high credit quality (rated AA or higher), management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The fair value is expected to recover as the investments reach maturity. At both June 30, 2025 and 2024, pledged securities totaled $0. **NOTE C - LOANS** The composition of the loan portfolio at June 30 was as follows: | (in thousands) | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | | Residential real estate | | | | | | | | | One- to four-family | | $ | 251,338 | | | $ | 256,216 | | | | Multi-family | | | 15,505 | | | | 15,815 | | | | Construction | | | 9,314 | | | | 13,815 | | | | Land | | | 1,508 | | | | 964 | | | | Farm | | | 3,023 | | | | 1,169 | | | | Nonresidential real estate | | | 31,698 | | | | 34,308 | | | | Commercial and industrial | | | 691 | | | | 700 | | | | Consumer and other | | | | | | | | | | | Loans on deposits | | | 813 | | | | 819 | | | | Home equity | | | 14,643 | | | | 10,644 | | | | Automobile | | | 134 | | | | 117 | | | | Unsecured | | | 751 | | | | 585 | | | | | | | 329,418 | | | | 335,152 | | | | Allowance for credit losses | | | (2,170 | ) | | | (2,127 | ) | | | | | $ | 327,248 | | | $ | 333,025 | | | 48 **** **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **** **NOTE C - LOANS (continued)** **** The amounts above include net deferred loan fees of $149,000 and $288,000 as of June 30, 2025 and 2024.

The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: **Special Mention.** Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves managements close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institutions credit position at some future date. **Substandard.**Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. **Doubtful.**Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. 55 **** **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE C - LOANS (continued)** Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered to be pass rated loans.

The carrying amount of those loans, net of a purchase credit discount of $25,000 and $25,000, at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was as follows: | (in thousands) | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | | Residential real estate | | | | | | | | | One- to four-family | | $ | 134 | | | $ | 175 | | | Accretable yield, or income expected to be collected on loans purchased during fiscal year 2013, for the years ended June 30 was as follows: | (in thousands) | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | | Balance at beginning of year | | $ | 260 | | | $ | 294 | | | | Accretion of income | | | (33 | ) | | | (34 | ) | | | Balance at end of year | | $ | 227 | | | $ | 260 | | | For those purchased loans disclosed above, the Company made no increase in allowance for loan losses for the years ended June 30, 2025 or 2024, nor were any allowance for loan losses reversed during those years. **NOTE D - REAL ESTATE OWNED** Activity in real estate owned for the years ended June 30 was as follows: | (in thousands) | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | | Balance at beginning of year | | $ | 10 | | | $ | 70 | | | | Loans transferred to real estate owned | | | - | | | | 10 | | | | Disposals | | | 10 | | | | 70 | | | | Balance at end of year | | $ | - | | | $ | 10 | | | **NOTE E - PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT** Premises and equipment at June 30 are comprised of the following: | (in thousands) | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | | Land | | $ | 1,516 | | | $ | 1,516 | | | | Buildings and improvements | | | 6,933 | | | | 6,818 | | | | Furniture & equipment | | | 2,265 | | | | 2,236 | | | | | | | 10,714 | | | | 10,570 | | | | Less: accumulated depreciation | | | 6,503 | | | | 6,303 | | | | Balance at end of year | | $ | 4,211 | | | $ | 4,267 | | | 59 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **** **NOTE F - GOODWILL** Goodwill of $14.5 million was originally recorded in March 2005 when the Company, as part of its initial public offering, purchased Frankfort First Bancorp, Inc., with a portion of the stock and cash proceeds from the offering. The Company had $14.5 million of goodwill net of impairment losses of $13.6 million and $0 at June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, a prolonged decline in the stock price of the Company exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and its related economic impact led to managements performance of a goodwill impairment analysis as of June 30, 2020. Based on the results of this analysis and in conjunction with managements early adoption of ASU 2017-04, *Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment*, the estimated fair value of the Company was less than book value, resulting in a $13.6 million goodwill impairment charge. Goodwill impairment exists when a Companys reporting units carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. Subsequently, further decreases in stock price in the year ended June 30, 2024 led to the carrying value of goodwill exceeding the fair value. Testing done in the year of 2024 indicated this and led to an impairment charge of the entire amount of $947,000. **** **NOTE G - DEPOSITS** Deposits consist of the following major classifications at June 30: | (in thousands) | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | | Non-interest bearing checking accounts | | $ | 11,805 | | | $ | 15,428 | | | | Interest bearing transaction accounts | | | | | | | | | | | Checking accounts | | | 17,567 | | | | 16,749 | | | | Savings Accounts | | | 43,001 | | | | 39,221 | | | | Money market demand deposits | | | 5,615 | | | | 8,169 | | | | Total interest bearing transaction accounts | | | 66,183 | | | | 64,139 | | | | Total demand, transaction and passbook deposits | | | 77,988 | | | | 79,567 | | | | Certificates of deposit | | | 199,575 | | | | 176,572 | | | | Total deposits | | $ | 277,563 | | | $ | 256,139 | | | Maturities of outstanding certificates of deposit at June 30 are summarized as follows: | (in thousands) | | 2025 | | | | 2026 | | $ | 166,788 | | | | 2027 | | | 28,861 | | | | 2028 | | | 3,332 | | | | 2029 | | | 269 | | | | 2030 and thereafter | | | 325 | | | | | | $ | 199,575 | | | At June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had certificate of deposit accounts with balances equal to or in excess of $250,000 totaling approximately $34.6 million and $21.0 million, respectively.

Each advance is payable at its maturity date, with a prepayment penalty for fixed rate advances. Based on collateral composed of first mortgage loans and the Companys holdings of FHLB stock, the Company was eligible to borrow up to $71.0 million as of June 30, 2025. In addition, we have the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window. At June 30, 2025, based on home equity loans and share loans we had pledged collateral which would enable us to borrow up to $9.4 million. First Federal Savings Bank of Kentucky at June 30, 2025, had a $2.0 million Fed Funds line of credit with the Independent Correspondent Bankers Bank. **NOTE I - INCOME TAXES** Federal income taxes on earnings differs from that computed at the statutory corporate tax rate for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, as follows: | (in thousands) | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | | Income tax expense (benefit) at the statutory rate | | $ | 54 | | | $ | (411 | ) | | | Increase (decrease) resulting from: | | | | | | | | | | | Cash surrender value of life insurance | | | (18 | ) | | | (18 | ) | | | State income tax expense (benefit) | | | 13 | | | | (30 | ) | | | Goodwill Impairment | | | - | | | | 199 | | | | Other | | | 8 | | | | 21 | | | | | | $ | 57 | | | $ | (239 | ) | | 61 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE I - INCOME TAXES (continued)** The composition of the Companys net deferred tax liability at June 30 is as follows: | (in thousands) | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | | Taxes (payable) refundable on temporary differences at estimated corporate tax rate: | | | | | | | | | Deferred tax assets: | | | | | | | | | General loan loss allowance | | $ | 542 | | | $ | 531 | | | | Unfunded Commitments | | | 15 | | | | 14 | | | | Accrued expenses | | | 45 | | | | 44 | | | | Fair value accounting adjustments at acquisition | | | 63 | | | | 71 | | | | Nonaccrued interest on loans | | | 105 | | | | 115 | | | | Unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities | | | 48 | | | | 112 | | | | Depreciation | | | 86 | | | | 82 | | | | Net operating loss carryforwards | | | 45 | | | | 107 | | | | Total deferred tax assets | | | 949 | | | | 1,076 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Deferred tax liabilities: | | | | | | | | | | | Federal Home Loan Bank stock dividends | | | (269 | ) | | | (344 | ) | | | Deferred loan origination costs | | | (24 | ) | | | (57 | ) | | | Loan servicing rights | | | (51 | ) | | | (41 | ) | | | Accrual to cash adjustment | | | (101 | ) | | | (216 | ) | | | Fair value accounting adjustments on acquisition | | | (534 | ) | | | (535 | ) | | | Total deferred tax liabilities | | | (979 | ) | | | (1,193 | ) | | | Net deferred tax liability | | $ | (30 | ) | | $ | (117 | ) | | The Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforward of $0 and $1.1 million at June 30, 2025 and $130,000 and $1.9 million at June 30, 2024, respectively. $240,000 of the state net operating loss expires in June of 2038, while the remaining $900,000 state net operating loss is carried forward indefinitely Prior to 1997, the Banks were allowed a special bad debt deduction, generally limited to 8% of otherwise taxable income, and subject to certain limitations based on aggregate loans and deposit account balances at the end of the year. If the amounts that qualified as deductions for federal income taxes are later used for purposes other than bad debt losses, including distributions in excess of accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions will be subject to federal income taxes at the then current corporate income tax rate. Retained earnings at June30, 2025 include approximately $5.2 million for which federal and state income taxes have not been provided. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability relating to the cumulative bad debt deduction was approximately $1.3 million at June 30, 2025. **NOTE J - LOAN COMMITMENTS** The Banks are a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of their customers, including commitments to extend credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contract or notional amounts of the commitments reflect the extent of the Banks involvement in such financial instruments. The Banks exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Banks use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as those utilized for on-balance-sheet instruments. **** 62 **** **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE J - LOAN COMMITMENTS (continued)** At June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Banks had the following outstanding loan commitments: | | | 2025 | | | 2024 | | | | (in thousands) | | Fixed | | | Variable | | | Fixed | | | Variable | | | | Unused commitment: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Revolving, open-end lines secured by real estate | | $ | - | | | $ | 17,614 | | | $ | - | | | $ | 14,965 | | | | Commitments to fund real estate construction loans | | | - | | | | 8,985 | | | | - | | | | 10,272 | | | | Other unused commitments: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commercial and industrial loans | | | 29 | | | | 287 | | | | 90 | | | | 370 | | | | Other | | | 122 | | | | 632 | | | | 460 | | | | 741 | | | | Letters of credit | | | - | | | | 310 | | | | - | | | | 212 | | | Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 60 days or less. There were no fixed rate loan commitments to fund real estate construction loans at June 30, 2025. Other unused commitments include real estate loan commitments, which represent the primary loans made by the Banks. Long-term, fixed rate mortgage loans are usually sold to the FHLB, as part of the Companys interest rate risk strategy. At June 30, 2025 and 2024, we have recorded a liability on unfunded commitments of $59,000 and $60,000, respectively **NOTE K - STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY AND REGULATORY CAPITAL** **Qualified Thrift Lender **Federal regulations require the Banks comply with the Qualified Thrift Lender (QTL) test, which requires that 65% of assets be maintained in housing-related finance and other specified assets. If the QTL test is not met, limits are placed on growth, branching, new investment, FHLB advances, and dividends or the institutions must convert to a commercial bank charter. Management believes that the QTL test has been met. **Dividend Restrictions **Dividends from the Banks are the primary source of funds for the Company. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid to the Company by the Banks without prior approval of the Office of the Controller of the Currency (the OCC.) Under these regulations the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current years net profits, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years. **Regulatory Capital Requirements **The Banks are subject to minimum regulatory capital standards promulgated by the OCC. 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 Companys consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Companys assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. 63 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE K - STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY AND REGULATORY CAPITAL (continued)** In August 2024, First Federal of Kentucky entered into an Agreement with the OCC. The OCC has also imposed individual minimum capital requirements (IMCRs) which require First Federal of Kentucky to achieve and maintain capital levels in excess of the minimum capital standards required under OCCs Prompt Corrective Action framework. Under the IMCRs, First Federal of Kentucky must achieve and maintain a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of at least 9.0%, a tier 1 capital ratio of at least 11.0%, a total capital ratio of at least 12.0%, and a leverage ratio of at least 9.0%. At June 30, 2025, First Federal of Kentucky exceeded the requirements of the IMCRs as its common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 16.83%, its tier 1 capital ratio was 16.83%, its total capital ratio was 16.83%, and its leverage ratio was 9.97%. Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. **Capital Standards **Effective January 1, 2020, the Company and the Banks became subject to the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (CBLR) framework. Previously the Company and the Banks were subject to regulatory capital reforms in accordance with Basel III. *Community Bank Leverage Ratio* ** Certain community banks and holding companies (which include the Company, Frankfort First, First Federal of Kentucky and First Federal of Hazard) that satisfy certain qualifying criteria, including having less than $10 billion in average total consolidated assets and a leverage ratio (referred to as the community bank leverage ratio) of greater than 9%, were eligible to opt-in to the CBLR framework. The CBLR ratio is the ratio of a banking organizations Tier 1 capital to its average total consolidated assets as reported on the banking organizations applicable regulatory filings. The Banks elected to utilize the CBLR framework effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. In April 2020, federal banking regulators issued temporary changes to the CBLR framework according to certain directives of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. These changes were adopted as a final rule and applied to those banking organizations otherwise meeting the other existing qualifying criteria. The changes temporarily reduced the minimum ratio from 9% to 8% through the end of 2020 and established a two-quarter grace period for qualifying community banking organizations. The final rule provided for a transition from the temporary 8% CBLR requirement to a 9% requirement by establishing a minimum CBLR of 8.5% for 2021 and 9% thereafter, while maintaining a two-quarter grace period for qualifying community banking organizations whose leverage ratios fall no more than 100 basis points below the applicable CBLR requirement. Under this framework the Company and the Banks would be considered well-capitalized under the applicable guidelines. The Basel III, which became effective January 1, 2015, established higher minimum risk-based capital ratio requirements, a new common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and a new capital conservation buffer (CCB.) The regulations also included revisions to the definition of capital and changes in the risk-weighting of certain assets, in addition to redefining well capitalized as a 6.5% common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, an 8.0% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, a 10.0% total risk-based capital ratio and a 5.0% Tier 1 leverage ratio. The CCB is 2.5% and, if the Company and the Banks were unable to qualify for the CBLR framework, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments, engaging in share repurchases and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, must maintain the CCB at the appropriate level. In August 2024, First Federal of Kentucky entered into an Agreement with the OCC. The OCC has also imposed IMCRs which require First Federal of Kentucky to achieve and maintain capital levels in excess of the minimum capital standards required under OCCs Prompt Corrective Action framework. Under the IMCRs, First Federal of Kentucky must achieve and maintain a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of at least 9.0%, a tier 1 capital ratio of at least 11.0%, a total capital ratio of at least 12.0%, and a leverage ratio of at least 9.0%. At June 30, 2025, First Federal of Kentucky exceeded the requirements of the IMCRs as its common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 16.83%, its tier 1 capital ratio was 16.83%, its total capital ratio was 16.83%, and its leverage ratio was 9.97%. 64 **KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP** **NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** June 30, 2025 and 2024 **NOTE K - STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY AND REGULATORY CAPITAL (continued)** The Companys and Banks regulatory capital as of June 30, 2025 and 2024 is presented in the following table. | | | Actual | | | For Capital Adequacy Purposes | | | | (Dollars in thousands) | | Amount | | | Ratio | | | Amount | | | Ratio | | | | Community Bank Leverage Ratio: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | June 30, 2025 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kentucky First Federal Bancorp | | $ | 48,514 | | | | 12.9 | % | | $ | 33,935 | | | | 9.0 | % | | | First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Hazard | | $ | 17,921 | | | | 20.7 | % | | $ | 7,775 | | | | 9.0 | % | | | First Federal Savings Bank of Kentucky | | $ | 29,399 | | | | 10.0 | % | | $ | 26,545 | | | | 9.0 | % | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | June 30, 2024 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Kentucky First Federal Bancorp | | $ | 48,333 | | | | 13.3 | % | | $ | 32,667 | | | | 9.0 | % | | | First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Hazard | | $ | 18,191 | | | | 20.4 | % | | $ | 8,009 | | | | 9.0 | % | | | First Federal Savings Bank of Kentucky | | $ | 29,063 | | | | 10.2 | % | | $ | 25,629 | | | | 9.0 | % | | As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, management believes that First Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Kentucky met all capital adequacy requirements to which the Banks were subject. There are no conditions or subsequent events that have occurred that managements believes have changed the Banks categories. Regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System governing mutual holding companies require First Federal MHC to meet certain criteria before the company may waive the receipt by it of any common stock dividend declared by Kentucky First Federal Bancorp.
