The Kentucky First Federal Bancorp (“Kentucky First” or the “Company”) was incorporated under federal law in March 2005, and is the mid-tier holding company for First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Hazard, Hazard, Kentucky (“First Federal of Hazard”) and Frankfort First Bancorp, Inc. (“Frankfort First”). Frankfort First is the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank of Kentucky, Frankfort, Kentucky (“First Federal of Kentucky”). First Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Kentucky (hereinafter collectively the “Banks”) are Kentucky First’s primary operations, which consist of operating the Banks as two independent, community-oriented savings institutions.

In December 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.

1.Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which represent the condensed consolidated balance sheets and results of operations of the Company, were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for an entire fiscal year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, ~~2018~~2019 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for ~~2018~~2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Frankfort First, and its wholly-owned banking subsidiaries, First Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Kentucky (collectively hereinafter “the Banks”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications - Certain amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on prior years’ net income or shareholders’ equity.

New Accounting Standards

~~FASB ASC 606~~ - ~~In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09,~~~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606,)~~and subsequently issued several amendments to the standard. The primary principle of the guidance is that entities should recognize revenue in a manner consistent with the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that represents the consideration that the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 also requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Most of the revenues earned by the Company are excluded from the scope of the new standard. Revenue streams within the scope of this guidance include service charges and fees on deposits, interchange fees earned on payments processing, and certain components of other service charges, commissions and fees. The Company has analyzed each stream under Topic 606 and determined that there were no material changes to existing recognition practices except with regard to recognition of gain on the sale of other real estate owned (“REO.”) The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 effective July 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment of $441,000 directly to retained earnings as an offset to the carrying value of deferred revenue.

The Company’s 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 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 customer’s account at the time the service is provided.

Other service charges and fees include interchange fees. Interchange fees are earned primarily from debit card holder transactions conducted through the Mastercard payment network and other networks, and such fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are received and recognized daily, concurrent with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder.

~~FASB ASC 825~~ -In January 2016, the FASB issued an update ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities and, in February 2018, issued an amendment for technical corrections and improvements related to this guidance. The amendments in this ASU require all equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through net income. Additionally, this ASU eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. Public business entities must use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU become effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01 effective July 1, 2018, with no material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption. However, fair value estimates for all financial instruments now require exit price. Fair value disclosures, which can be found in Note 5, have been modified to consider the exit price notion.

~~New Accounting Standards~~ ~~(continued)~~

~~FASB ASC 230 -~~~~In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,~~~~Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.~~~~The amendments in ASU 2016-15 provide guidance on the following eight specific cash flow issues:~~

~~1. Debt Prepayment or Debt Extinguishment Costs;~~

~~2. Settlement of Zero-Coupon Debt Instruments or Other Debt Instruments with Coupon Interest Rates That Are Insignificant in Relation to the Effective Interest Rate of the Borrowing;~~

~~3. Contingent Consideration Payments Made after a Business Combination;~~

~~4. Proceeds from the Settlement of Insurance Claims;~~

~~5. Proceeds from the Settlement of Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies, including Bank-Owned Life Insurance Policies;~~

~~6. Distributions Received from Equity Method Investees;~~

~~7. Beneficial Interests in Securitization Transactions; and~~

~~8. Separately Identifiable Cash Flows and Application of the Predominance Principle.~~

~~The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-15 effective July 1, 2018, with no material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.~~

FASB ASC 326 - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The final standard will change estimates for credit losses related to financial assets measured at amortized cost such as loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, and certain other contracts. For estimating credit losses, the FASB is replacing the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model. 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 will be on its allowance for loan and lease losses, although the ASU also amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The standard is effective for public companies for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, ~~2019,~~2019. However, the FASB has delayed the implementation of the ASU for smaller reporting companies until years beginning after December 15, 2022, or in the Company’s case the fiscal year beginning July 1, ~~2020.~~2023. ASU 2016-13 will be applied through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings (modified-retrospective approach), except for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. A prospective transition approach is required for these debt securities. We have formed a functional committee that is assessing our data and system needs and are evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance. We expect to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot yet determine the magnitude of any such one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. However, the Company does expect ASU 2016-13 to add complexity and costs to its current credit loss evaluation process.

FASB ASC 842 – In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842).This guidance changes lease accounting by introducing the core principle that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases under the premise that all leases create an asset and a liability for the lessee in accordance with FASB Concepts Statement No. 6,Elements of FinancialStatements. The Company adopted this ASU effective July 1, 2019, with no recordation of right-to-use lease assets or operating lease liabilities, because the level of operating leases was determined to be immaterial.

FASB ASC 350 – In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04,Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.This guidance modifies the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, or July 1, 2020, with respect to the Company.

FASB ASC 820 – In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13,Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.This guidance reduces the level of detail surrounding the processes used by the Company in determining the fair value of some of its assets. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, or July 1, 2020, with respect to the Company.

FASB ASC 740– In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12,Income Taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.The amendments in this ASU removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod allocation and calculating income taxes during interim periods. The ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, or July 1, 2021, with respect to the Company. Early adoption is permitted. We do not anticipate a significant impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Our pledged securities (including overnight and time deposits in other financial institutions) totaled $1.9 million and $2.0 million at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

We evaluated securities in unrealized loss positions for evidence of other-than-temporary impairment, considering duration, severity, financial condition of the issuer, our intention to sell or requirement to sell. Those securities were agency ~~bonds,~~mortgage backed securities, which carry a very limited amount of risk. Also, we have no intention to sell nor feel that we will be compelled to sell such securities before maturity. Based on our evaluation, no impairment has been recognized through earnings.

One- to four-family loans in process of foreclosure totaled $654,000 and $1.2 million at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

A Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”) is the situation where the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that the Banks would not otherwise have considered due to the borrower’s financial difficulties. All TDRs are considered “impaired.”

The provisions of the CARES Act included an election to not apply the guidance on accounting for troubled debt restructurings to loan modifications, such as extensions or deferrals, related to COVID-19 made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020 or (ii) 60 days after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency. The relief can only be applied to modifications for borrowers that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The Company elected to adopt these provisions of the CARES Act.

At March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, the Company had ~~$1.6~~$1.8 million and ~~$1.7~~$1.6 million of loans classified as TDRs, respectively. Of the TDRs at March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, approximately ~~34.5%~~22.5% were related to the borrower’s completion of Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings with no reaffirmation of the debt to the Banks.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had three loans restructured as TDRs. One borrower refinanced a piece of one- to four-family, non-owner occupied, residential property to bring to current amounts owed on other loans with the Bank. Because the borrower’s financial condition had deteriorated, it was unlikely that the borrower could have secured financing elsewhere. The restructured loan is collateralized and cross-collateralized by real estate. Another single family residential borrower filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection and did not reaffirm the debt personally, although the Company’s collateral position remains intact. Finally, a first and second mortgage on an 8-plex were refinanced into a single loan with a slightly extended maturity term and a lower interest rate, which was consistent with similarly-priced comparable loans at the time of refinance.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company had two loans restructured as TDRs. A ~~secondary~~second mortgage loan of $219,000 was renewed and an additional $30,000 was loaned to a borrower to finish construction of an 8-plex, because ~~the~~ construction project had experienced cost overruns. The Company carries the first mortgage on this project and both the primary and secondary loans are secured by the 8-plex and additional real estate collateral. The Company also refinanced an existing single-family mortgage loan and provided additional funds to a borrower attempting to consolidate his debt.

The Company had three TDRs during the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The Company had no allocated specific reserves to customers whose loan terms had been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of March 31, 2019 or at June 30, 2018. The Company had no commitments to lend on loans classified as TDRs at March 31, 2019 or June 30, 2018.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. 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 management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s 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.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Loans listed that are not rated are included in groups of homogeneous loans and are evaluated for credit quality based on performing status. See the aging of past due loan table above. As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

5.Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

ASC topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (exit price) at the measurement date. ASC topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes ~~three~~six levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 -– Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 -– Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in active 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– Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, 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 pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. Level 2 securities include agency mortgage-backed securities and agency bonds.

5.Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (continued)

Impaired Loans

At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is evaluated for loss based on the fair value of collateral securing the loan if the loan is collateral dependent. If a loss is identified, a specific allocation will be established as part of the allowance for loan losses such that the loan’s net carrying value is at its estimated fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. For collateral-dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Other Real Estate

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

The following is a disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, 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.

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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, ~~2018~~2019 to March 31, ~~2019~~2020

Risks and Uncertainties Related to COVID-19- In March 2020 the World Health Organization determined that the spread of a new coronavirus, COVID-19, had risen to such a level as to constitute a worldwide pandemic. The spread of this virus has created a global public health crisis. Uncertainty related to the effects of the virus have disrupted financial markets, activity in all aspects of life including governmental, business and consumer routines and the markets in which the Company operates. In response to the crisis governmental authorities have closed non-essential businesses and required various responses from individuals including stay-at-home restrictions and social distancing. These governmental restrictions, along with a fear of contracting the virus, have resulted in severe reduction of commercial and consumer activity, which is resulting in loss of revenues by businesses, a dramatic spike in unemployment, material decreases in oil and gas prices and in business valuations, disrupted global supply chains and market volatility.

The federal government has taken several actions designed to mitigate the impact of the economic disruption. Three pieces of legislation that were enacted in March 2020 included emergency funding for federal agencies to respond to the coronavirus outbreak related to developing a vaccine, medical supplies, grants for public health agencies, small business loans, guaranteeing free coronavirus testing, establishing paid leave for employees, enhanced unemployment insurance, expanded food security initiatives and increased Medicaid funding. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, enacted on March 27, 2020, was a $2.0 trillion relief bill responsible for sending $1,200 to Americans making $75,000 or less, adding $600 per week to unemployment benefits for four months, giving $100 billion to hospitals and health providers, making $500 billion of loans or investments to businesses, states and municipalities and $32 billion in grants to the airline industries and more.

Management expects the general impact of COVID-19, as well as certain provisions of the CARES Act and other recent legislative and regulatory relief efforts, to have a material impact on the Company’s operations. Because the impact is contingent upon the duration and severity of the economic downturn, management cannot determine or estimate the magnitude of the impact at this time. However, we are disclosing potentially material items of which we are currently aware.

Business Continuity, Processes and Controls

As a financial institution, the Banks are considered essential businesses and have remained open for business. We have implemented our pandemic preparedness plan and have maintained regular business hours except for closing for business on Fridays at 4:30 p.m. We continue to offer customer service through drive-thru facilities, automated teller machines, remote deposit capture and online and mobile banking applications. We are offering by-appointment options for transactions requiring in-person contact while maintaining social distancing mandates and surface cleaning protocols. Our staff is practicing recommended personal hygiene protocols and social distancing while working on premises. A small number of employeesare working remotely. We do not face current material resource constraints through the implementation of our pandemic preparedness plan and do not anticipate incurring any material cost related to its implementation. We have not identified any material operational or internal control challenges or risks, nor do we anticipate any significant challenges to our ability to maintain our systems and controls, related to operational changes resulting from implementation of the pandemic preparedness plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Financial Position and Results of Operations

Bank regulators have issued guidance and are encouraging banks to work with customers affected by COVID-19. Accordingly, we have been actively working with borrowers affected by COVID-19 by offering a payment deferral program providing for either a three-month interest-only period or a full payment deferral for three months. While interest and fees will continue to accrue to income, under normal GAAP accounting if eventual credit losses on these deferred payments emerge, interest and/or fee income accrued may need to be reversed. As a result, interest income in future periods could be negatively impacted. At this time management anticipates that the deferral program will have an immaterial impact to the Company’s financial condition and results of operation, while recognizing that a sustained negative economic impact from COVID-19 could change this assessment, as borrowers’ ability to repay is impacted in future periods.

At March 31, 2020 the Company and the Banks were considered well-capitalized with capital ratios in excess of regulatory requirements. However, an extended economic recession resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact the Company’s and the Banks’ capital position and regulatory capital ratios due to a potential increase in credit losses.

Lending Operations and Credit Risk

As noted herein the Company is working with its borrowers who are negatively impacted by COVID-19 by offering a payment deferral program. As of May 12, 2020, we had 66 customers under our payment deferral program with a total principal balance of $12.9 million in loans modified.

The CARES Act includes a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which is administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and is designed to aid small- and medium-sized businesses through federally-guaranteed loans disbursed through banks. These loans are intended to provide eight weeks of payroll and other costs to assist those businesses to either remain open or to re-open quickly and allow their workers to pay their bills. First Federal of Kentucky qualified as an SBA lender to assist the small business community in securing this important funding. As of May 12, 2020, First Federal of Kentucky has approved and/or closed with the SBA 30 PPP loans representing $1.1 million in funding. It is our understanding that loans funded through the PPP are fully guaranteed by the United States government. Should those circumstances change, the bank could be required to increase its allowance for loan and lease losses related to these loans resulting in an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses.

The Banks are prepared to continue to offer short-term assistance in accordance with regulatory guidelines. Management continues to identify and monitor weaknesses in the loan portfolio resulting from fallout from the pandemic. On a portfolio level, management continues to monitor aggregate exposures to highly sensitive segments such as residential rental properties for changes in asset quality and payment performance. Management also monitors unfunded commitments such as lines of credit and overdraft protection to determine liquidity and funding issues that may arise with our customers. If economic conditions worsen, the Company could need to increase its required allowance for loan losses through additional provisions for loan losses. It is possible that the Company’s asset quality metrics could be materially and adversely impacted in future periods, if the effects of COVID-19 are prolonged.

The Company paid dividends of ~~$1.1~~$1.0 million or ~~212.3%~~143.8% of net income for the nine-month period just ended. On July ~~5, 2018,~~2, 2019, the members of First Federal MHC for the seventh time approved a dividend waiver on annual dividends of up to $0.40 per share of Kentucky First Federal Bancorp common stock. The Board of Directors of First Federal MHC applied for approval of another waiver. The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland has notified the Company that it did not object to the waiver of dividends paid by the Company to First Federal MHC, and, as a result, First Federal MHC will be permitted to waive the receipt of dividends for quarterly dividends up to $0.10 per common share through the third calendar quarter of ~~2019.~~2020. Management believes that the Company has sufficient capital to continue the current dividend policy without affecting the well-capitalized status of either subsidiary bank. Management cannot speculate on future dividend levels, because various factors, including capital levels, income levels, liquidity levels, regulatory requirements and overall financial condition of the Company are considered before dividends are declared. However, management continues to believe that a strong dividend is consistent with the Company’s long-term capital management strategy. See “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, ~~2018~~2019 for additional discussion regarding dividends.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine-Month Periods Ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018~~2019

General

Net income totaled ~~$512,000~~$722,000 or ~~$0.06~~$0.09 diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended March 31, ~~2019, a decrease~~2020, an increase of ~~$799,000~~$210,000 or ~~60.9%~~41.0% from net income of ~~$1.3 million~~$512,000 for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased ~~$248,000~~$29,000 or ~~3.4%~~0.4% to ~~$7.1~~$7.0 million for the nine-month period just ended. Interest income increased ~~$563,000,~~by $380,000, or ~~6.4%~~4.0%, to ~~$9.4~~$9.8 million, while interest expense increased ~~$811,000~~$409,000 or ~~53.0%~~17.5% to ~~$2.3~~$2.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. Interest expense increased at a faster pace during the recent increase in interest rate environment, because of the short-term nature of those funding sources compared to the long-term nature of the Company’s primary interest-earning assets, loans. Although the loan portfolio is comprised primarily of adjustable rate loans, those assets often have limits on the amount of interest rate increases that can occur in the near term. Many of the newer loans have fixed rates for a period of time (three years to five years) before the interest rate can change, while the interest rates on seasoned loans can change no more than 100 basis points annually. We believe that the most recent indications by the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) suggest that interest rates may be near neutral, which would have a positive effect on our operations.2020.

Interest income on loans increased ~~$477,000~~$494,000 or ~~5.7%~~5.5% to ~~$8.9~~$9.4 million, due primarily to an increase in the average volume of the loan portfolio. The average balance of the loan portfolio increased ~~$10.6~~$10.1 million or ~~4.1%~~3.7% to ~~$272.0~~$282.1 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, while the rate earned on the loan portfolio increased ~~seven~~8 basis points to ~~4.37%~~4.44%.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine-Month Periods Ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018~~2019 (continued)

Interest expense on deposits increased ~~$436,000~~$388,000 or ~~43.6%~~27.0% to ~~$1.4~~$1.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, while interest expense on borrowings increased ~~$375,000~~$21,000 or ~~70.6%~~2.3% to ~~$906,000~~$927,000 for the same period. The increase in interest expense on deposits was attributed primarily to an increase in the average rate paid on deposits, which increased 2726 basis points to ~~99 basis points~~1.25% for the recently ended period. The average balance of deposits increased ~~$7.0~~$2.1 million or ~~3.8%~~1.1% to ~~$192.6~~$194.7 million for the most recent period. The increase in interest expense on borrowings was attributed to ~~primarily to~~ higher ~~interest rate levels, although~~average borrowings outstanding, as the average ~~balance also increased~~rate on those borrowings decreased period to period. The ~~average rate paid on borrowings increased 88 basis points to 233 basis points for the most recent period, while the~~ average balance of borrowings outstanding increased ~~$3.1~~$9.3 million or ~~6.3%~~17.9% to ~~$51.9~~$61.2 million for the recently ended nine-month period, while the average rate paid on borrowings decreased 31 basis points to 2.02% for the most recent period.

Net interest spread decreased from ~~332 basis points~~3.00% for the prior year quarterly period to ~~300 basis points~~2.84% for the nine-month period ended March 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Provision for Losses on Loans

The Company recorded an ~~$11,000~~$64,000 provision for losses on loans during the nine months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, compared to a provision of ~~$107,000~~$11,000 for the nine months ended March 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income ~~decreased $440,000~~increased $40,000 or ~~69.5%~~20.7% to ~~$193,000~~$233,000 for the nine months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, compared to the prior year period, primarily because of an increase in net gains on sales of loans and a decrease in ~~earnings~~valuation adjustment for REO. Net gain on ~~bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”), which decreased $374,000~~sales of loans increased $46,000 or 158.6% to $75,000 for the recently-ended nine-month period over the prior year amount, ~~and totaled $56,000. During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, First Federal~~while valuation adjustment for REO decreased $18,000 or 33.3% to $36,000. Somewhat offsetting these primary sources of ~~Kentucky received insurance death benefit proceeds under its bank-owned life insurance program. The nonrecurring receipt of insurance proceeds, along with the accompanying decrease~~increases in ~~BOLI asset~~non-interest income was ~~primarily responsible for~~ a decrease in ~~BOLI earnings. Also contributing to the decrease in~~other non-interest income, ~~were decreases in net~~which decreased $24,000 or 15.5% to $131,000 for the recently-ended period, which was primarily due to a $13,000 gain on sale of ~~REO~~assets recognized in the year ago period and ~~higher valuation adjustment on REO. Net gain on sales of REO~~ decreased ~~$40,000 or 85.1% and totaled $7,000 for the recently ended nine-month period compared to the prior year, while the Company recorded negative valuation adjustments on REO of $54,000 for~~servicing fees in the current ~~year compared to $18,000 in negative valuation adjustments in the prior year~~ period. Decreased servicing fees include loan servicing fees, service charges on demand deposits, ATM surcharge fees and miscellaneous operating income.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense ~~increased $86,000~~decreased $311,000 or ~~1.3%~~4.7% and totaled ~~$6.6~~$6.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, primarily due to ~~an increase in employee compensation and benefits.~~cost-saving measures implemented by management.

Employee compensation and benefits for the nine months ended March 31, ~~2019 increased $277,000~~2020 decreased $201,000 or ~~6.8%~~4.6% to ~~$4.4 million. Employee compensation and benefits increased~~$4.2 million primarily ~~because of higher required~~due to lower contributions to the Company’s ~~defined benefit~~Defined Benefit (“DB”) pension plan. Over the last several quarters, excluding the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company has faced declining earnings in part due to increasing contributions required by the DB plan. In the past four years, the required contribution has more than doubled from $560,000 in fiscal 2016 to an estimated $1.2 million for fiscal 2019. DB pension contributions ~~increased $292,000~~decreased $214,000 or ~~61.0%~~23.8% to ~~$771,000~~$683,000 for the nine-month period recently ended compared to the prior year period. ~~Effective~~Lower DB pension contributions are a result of the freeze placed on the plan effective April 1, 2019, the Company froze its DB plan. After that date active employees no longer accrue additional benefits in the DB plan and no new employees will be enrolled in the plan. While the Company will continue to incur costs for maintaining the plan and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation premiums, freezing the DB planwhich is currently estimated to ~~result in annual savings of approximately $500,000 beginning~~lower DB costs by $279,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, ~~2020.~~2020 compared to the prior fiscal year. Occupancy and equipment expenses decreased $86,000 or 17.0% to $420,000 for the recently ended nine-month period, as reduced maintenance and repair costs were experienced for both buildings and equipment and depreciation expense declined period to period. Voice and data communications expense decreased $59,000 or 31.6% to $128,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to upgraded data connections which provide better connectivity, faster data transfer speeds and a lower overall cost. Other non-interest expense decreased $64,000 or 10.5% to $540,000 primarily as a result of decreased FDIC insurance premiums. FDIC insurance premiums decreased from $63,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 to zero for the recently ended period, because the banks were able to utilize their Small Bank Assessment Credits (“SBAC”) during the period. Because the Banks did not pay surcharges at least once during the credit calculation period (third quarter 2016 through third quarter 2018), the FDIC determined the Banks to be eligible for credits against their insurance premiums when the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) reserve ratio equals or exceeds 1.38%. The DIF reserve ratio as of June 30, 2019 was 1.40%. The FDIC automatically applies SBACs to offset regular deposit insurance assessments for assessment periods where the DIF reserve ratio is at or above 1.38%. Assessments for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 totaled $63,000. The Banks’ remaining credits as of March 31, 2020 totaled $9,000. The determination on whether credits can be applied in any assessment period can only be made after the FDIC determines the reserve ratio. This information becomes publicly available approximately one month before that quarter’s assessments are paid. Although management expects to be able to utilize the remaining credits going forward, use of the credits is dependent on the DIF exceeding the 1.38% level.

Somewhat offsetting ~~higher expenses associated with employee compensation and benefits~~the decreases in various non-interest expense items were ~~decreases~~increases in auditing and accounting, and ~~other non-interest expense.~~data processing expenses. Auditing and accounting ~~fees decreased $129,000~~expenses increased $75,000 or ~~62.9%~~98.7% to ~~$76,000~~$151,000 for the ~~nine-month~~nine months ended March 31, 2020. Data processing increased $58,000 or 17.6% to $388,000 for the period just ended ~~while other non-interest expense decreased $28,000 or 4.4% to $604,000 for~~as the ~~recently-ended period. The decreased costs are primarily related to the Company’s efforts to reduce expenses.~~

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine-Month Periods Ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018~~2019 (continued)

Federal Income Tax Expense

~~The Company recorded a federal~~Federal income tax expense ~~of $117,000~~increased $59,000 or 50.4% to $176,000 for the nine months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, compared to ~~an income tax benefit of $4,000 in~~ the prior year period. The increase in income tax expense was primarily related to a $268,000 tax benefit recognized in the prior year period. The tax benefit resulted from a change in income tax law, which reduced the top income tax rate for corporations beginning January 1, 2018. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted in 2017 and, according to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the lower tax rate was applied to the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2017. The effective tax rates for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, were 19.6% and ~~2018, were~~ 18.6% ~~and (0.3%)~~, respectively.

General

Net income totaled ~~$207,000 or $0.02 diluted earnings per share~~$240,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, an increase of ~~$45,000~~$33,000 or ~~27.8%~~15.9% from net income of ~~$162,000~~$207,000 for the same period in ~~2018.~~2019.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased ~~$60,000~~$24,000 or ~~2.5%~~1.0% to $2.3 million for the three-month period just ended. Interest income increased by ~~$224,000,~~$13,000, or ~~7.5%~~0.4%, to $3.2 million, while interest expense increased ~~$284,000~~$37,000 or ~~50.6%~~4.4% to ~~$845,000~~$882,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Interest income on loans increased ~~$191,000~~$91,000 or ~~6.8%~~3.0% to ~~$3.0~~$3.1 million, due primarily to an increase in the average ~~rate earned on~~volume of the loan portfolio. The average balance of the loan portfolio ~~which~~ increased ~~16 basis points~~$8.8 million or 3.2% to ~~441 basis points~~$281.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, while the rate ~~average balance of~~earned on the loan portfolio ~~increased $7.4 million or 2.8% to $273.0 million.~~remained unchanged. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased ~~$6,000~~$2,000 to ~~$8,000~~$6,000 for the quarterly period just ended due chiefly to a lower volume of the assets. Interest income from interest-bearing deposits and other ~~increased $36,000~~decreased $76,000 or ~~27.3%~~45.2% to ~~$168,000~~$92,000 for the quarter just ended primarily due to ~~an increase~~a decrease in the average ~~balance of~~rate earned on those assets, which ~~increased $2.6 million or 14.4%~~decreased 161 basis points to ~~$20.8 million~~1.6% for the recently-ended quarterly period.

The increase in interest expense on deposits was attributed primarily to an increase in the average rate paid on deposits, which increased 3321 basis points to ~~106 basis points~~1.27% for the recently ended quarter. The Company’s time deposits have increased overall, ~~and its~~as new customers choose that particular deposit product and existing customers appear to have moved somewhat from savings and demand deposit accounts to certificates of ~~deposit~~deposit. The interest in time deposits began in response to the rising interest rate ~~environment.~~environment, which began in late 2015, but it has continued since the Federal Open Market Committee began reducing interest rates in mid-2019. Certificates of deposit usually bear a higher interest rate than demand deposits. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, average time deposits increased $10.9 million or 8.8% to $134.9 million, while the average cost of time deposits increased 25 basis points to 1.70% for the recently-ended period.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income ~~increased $24,000 or 42.1% to~~remained constant at $81,000 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2019, compared~~2020 and 2019. Net gain on sales of loans increased $26,000 to ~~the prior year quarter, primarily because of a decrease in valuation adjustments on REO. The Company recorded no valuation adjustment during~~$35,000 for the recently-ended quarterly period ~~to write down~~and was largely offset by valuation adjustment on REO and decreased other ~~real estate owned~~non-interest income for the current period. The Company recorded a valuation adjustment for REO of $12,000 during the three months just ended compared to anno adjustment in the prior year period and a decrease of $18,000 ~~adjustment~~or 31.0% in other non-interest income period to period was attributed to recognition of a gain of $13,000 on sale of assets recorded in the prior year period which did not reoccur in the recently-ended period.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense decreased ~~$4,000~~$67,000 or ~~0.2%~~3.1% and totaled ~~$2.2~~$2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2019. The decrease was~~2020, primarily due to decreases in ~~auditing and accounting, advertising, and foreclosure and REO expenses, net. Those decreases in expense were partially offset by an increase in~~ employee compensation and ~~benefits.~~

~~Auditing~~benefits, occupancy and accounting expense decreased $58,000 or 85.3% to $10,000 for the quarterly period just ended as the Company incurred less expense than it had anticipated previously.

Voice and data communications expenses decreased $26,000 or 48.1% to $28,000 for the recently ended period primarily due to upgraded data connections which provide better connectivity, faster data transfer speeds and a lower overall cost. Other non-interest expense decreased $34,000 or 16.7% to $170,000 primarily as a result of decreased FDIC insurance premiums. FDIC insurance premiums decreased from $21,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, to zero for the recently ended period, because the banks were able to utilize their SBAC during the period.

Somewhat offsetting the decreases in various non-interest expense items were increases in auditing and accounting and data processing expenses. Auditing and accounting expenses increased $42,000 to $52,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, due to higher cost accruals during the period. Data processing increased $33,000 or 28.4% to $149,000 for the quarter just ended as the Company expanded its digital banking platform.

Federal Income Tax Expense

The Company recorded a federal income tax expense of $58,000 and $48,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, ~~compared to federal income~~respectively.

PART II

ITEM 1.Legal Proceedings

None.

ITEM 1A.Risk Factors

~~There~~

The information below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A- Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 30, 2019. These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Except as presented below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors ~~disclosed~~as discussed in our ~~Annual Report~~Form 10-K.

The recent global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has led to periods of significant volatility in financial, commodities and other markets and could harm our business and results of operations.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Since then, COVID-19 infections have spread to additional countries including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on ~~Form 10-K~~our business, and there is no guarantee that our efforts to address or mitigate the adverse impacts of the coronavirus will be effective. The impact to date has included periods of significant volatility in financial, commodities and other markets. This volatility, if it continues, could have an adverse impact on our customers and on our business, financial condition and results of operations as well as our growth strategy.

Our business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of our customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. The spread of COVID-19 has caused and could continue to cause severe disruptions in the U.S. economy at large, and has resulted and may continue to result in disruptions to our customers’ businesses, and a decrease in consumer confidence and business generally. In addition, recent actions by US federal, state and local governments to address the pandemic, including travel bans, stay-at-home orders and school, business and entertainment venue closures, may have a significant adverse effect on our customers and the markets in which we conduct our business. The extent of impacts resulting from the coronavirus pandemic and other events beyond our control will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus pandemic and actions taken to contain the coronavirus or its impact, among others.

Disruptions to our customers could result in increased risk of delinquencies, defaults, and foreclosures and losses on our loans. The escalation of the pandemic may also negatively impact regional economic conditions for a period of time, resulting in declines in local loan demand, liquidity of loan guarantors, loan collateral (particularly in real estate), loan originations and deposit availability. If the ~~fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.~~global response to contain COVID-19 escalates or is unsuccessful, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The spread of the COVID-19 outbreak and the governmental responses may disrupt banking and other financial activity in the areas in which we operate and could potentially create widespread business continuity issues for us.

The outbreak of COVID-19 and the US federal, state and local governmental responses may result in a disruption in the services we provide. We rely on our third-party vendors to conduct business and to process, record, and monitor transactions. If any of these vendors are unable to continue to provide us with these services or experience interruptions in their ability to provide us with these services, it could negatively impact our ability to serve our customers. Furthermore, the coronavirus pandemic could negatively impact the ability of our employees and customers to engage in banking and other financial transactions in the geographic areas in which we operate and could create widespread business continuity issues for us. We also could be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to infection, quarantine or other effects and restrictions of a COVID-19 outbreak in our market areas. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there is no assurance that such plans and safeguards will be effective. If we are unable to promptly recover from such business disruptions, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected. We also may incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
