On March 2, 2005, First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Hazard (“First Federal of Hazard” or the “Association”) completed a Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan” or the “Reorganization”) pursuant to which the Association reorganized into the mutual holding company form of ownership with the incorporation of a stock holding company, Kentucky First Federal Bancorp (the “Company”) as parent of the Association. Coincident with the Reorganization, the Association converted to the stock form of ownership, followed by the issuance of all the Association’s outstanding stock to Kentucky First Federal Bancorp. Completion of the Plan of Reorganization culminated with Kentucky First Federal Bancorp issuing 4,727,938 common shares, or 55% of its common shares, to First Federal Mutual Holding Company (“First Federal MHC”), a federally chartered mutual holding company, with 2,127,572 common shares, or 24.8% of its shares offered for sale at $10.00 per share to the public and a newly formed Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). The Company received net cash proceeds of $16.1 million from the public sale of its common shares. The Company’s remaining 1,740,554 common shares were issued as part of the $31.4 million cash and stock consideration paid for 100% of the common shares of Frankfort First Bancorp (“Frankfort First”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Federal Savings Bank of Frankfort (“First Federal of Frankfort”). The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and resulted in the recordation of goodwill and other intangible assets totaling $15.4 million.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which represent the 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 consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for an entire fiscal year. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2012 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 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 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. 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 loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection. Unsecured consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due. 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 homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans. A loan is moved to nonaccrual status in accordance with the Company’s policy, typically after 90 days of non-payment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of presentation (continued)

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 generally returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired.

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

Real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Company determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

Basis of presentation (continued)

The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the loss history experience of the Company over the most recent two years and a rolling average of the current year’s loss history. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.

The following portfolio segments have been identified: residential real estate, nonresidential real estate, loans on deposits and consumer and other loans. The residential real estate segment is our primary lending activity and it enables a borrower to purchase or refinance homes in the Banks’ respective market areas. We further classify our residential real estate loans as one- to four-family, multi-family or construction. We originate loans to individuals to finance the construction of residential dwellings for personal use or for use as rental property. We do not generally lend to builders for construction of speculative or custom residential properties for resale. We also offer loans secured by nonresidential real estate, primarily commercial office buildings, churches and properties used for other purposes. Generally, these loans are originated for 25 years or less and do not exceed 75% of the appraised value. Our consumer loans include home equity lines of credit and loans secured by savings deposits.

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 Frankfort (collectively hereinafter “the Banks”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 Company’s share-based compensation plans. The factors used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations follow:

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

A Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”) is the situation where the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that the Bank would not otherwise have considered due to the borrower’s financial difficulties. All TDRs are considered “impaired.” Approximately 87% of the Banks’ residential real estate TDRs involve the Banks’ conceding to refinance a loan to then-current market interest rates despite poor credit history or a high loan-to-value ratio. As a result of guidance from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), $1.0 million of one- to four-family mortgage loans were identified as TDRs whereby the borrower’s obligation to the Bank was discharged in bankruptcy and the borrower has not reaffirmed the debt.

During the period ended September 30, 2012, the terms of two loans were modified to provide relief to borrowers who were experiencing difficulty in making scheduled payments due to job loss and other financial difficulties, while ten loans were identified as having been discharged in a bankruptcy proceeding without the borrower reaffirming the debt.

The Company had no allocated specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of September 30, 2012, and had $2,000 of specific reserves at June 30, 2012. The Company had no commitments to lend on loans classified as TDRs at September 30, 2012 or June 30, 2012.

The TDRs described above did not increase the allowance for loan losses and did not result in charge offs during the three months ended September 30, 2012. There were no TDRs that defaulted during the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 or over the previous twelve months.

Two TDRs added during the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, were modified to extend the loans’ maturity dates. One loan with a pre-modification outstanding recorded investment of approximately $10,000 was advanced an additional $3,000 during the restructuring. The remaining new TDRs resulted from previously-filed Chapter 7 bankruptcies in consideration of guidance provided by the OCC.

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 September 30, 2012, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

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 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 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.

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. It is valued at the lower of cost or 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.

Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (continued)

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

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012:

Cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits: The carrying amounts presented in the consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents are deemed to approximate fair value.

Held-to-maturity securities: For held-to-maturity securities, fair value is estimated by using pricing models, quoted price of securities with similar characteristics, which is level 2 pricing for the other securities.

Loans held for sale: Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are determined by FHLB pricing schedules.

Loans: The loan portfolio has been segregated into categories with similar characteristics, such as one- to four-family residential, multi-family residential and nonresidential real estate. These loan categories were further delineated into fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans. The fair values for the resultant loan categories were computed via discounted cash flow analysis, using current interest rates offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. For loans on deposit accounts and consumer and other loans, fair values were deemed to equal the historic carrying values.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock: It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Accrued interest receivable: The carrying amount is the estimated fair value.

Deposits: The fair value of NOW accounts, passbook accounts, and money market deposits are deemed to approximate the amount payable on demand. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit have been estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation using the interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances: The fair value of these advances is estimated using the rates currently offered for similar advances of similar remaining maturities or, when available, quoted market prices.

Advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance and accrued interest payable: The carrying amount presented in the consolidated statement of financial condition is deemed to approximate fair value.

Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (continued)

Commitments to extend credit: For fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loan commitments, the fair value estimate considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and committed rates. The fair value of outstanding loan commitments at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, was not material.

Based on the foregoing methods and assumptions, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 are as follows:

Assets: At September 30, 2012, the Company’s assets totaled $219.8 million, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 1.4%, from total assets at June 30, 2012. This decrease was attributed primarily to a decrease in loans.

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.6 million or 27.7% to $7.3 million at September 30, 2012. While it is management’s preference to deploy excess liquidity into mortgage loans and investment securities to the extent possible, while maintaining adequate liquidity at all times, additional cash was held at the end of the quarterly period in anticipation of the Company’s merger transaction.

Loans: Loans receivable, net, decreased by $4.5 million to $177.9 million at September 30, 2012, due primarily to unscheduled repayments of loans. Also, due to historically low interest rates, many home mortgages have been refinanced to long-term, fixed rate loans either with other lenders or with our banks to be sold into the secondary market. Management continues to look for high-quality loans to add to its portfolio and will continue to emphasize loan originations to the extent that it is profitable, prudent and consistent with our interest rate risk strategies. However, loan demand continues in its weakened state as a result of the downturn in the economy and we expect to see a continued decrease in demand for home loans until the housing market regains a stronger footing.

Non-Performing Loans: At September 30, 2012, the Company had non-performing loans (loans 90 or more days past due or on nonaccrual status) of approximately $2.7 million, or 1.5% of total loans, compared to $1.8 million or 0.98%, of total loans at June 30, 2012. The Company’s allowance for loan losses totaled $873,000 and $875,000 at September 30, 2012, and June 30, 2012, respectively. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2012, represented 32.5% of nonperforming loans and 0.49% of total loans, while at June 30, 2012, the allowance represented 48.8% of nonperforming loans and 0.48% of total loans.

The Company had $10.0 million in assets classified as substandard for regulatory purposes at September 30, 2012, including loans ($7.5 million) and real estate owned (“REO”) ($2.5 million). Classified loans as a percentage of total loans was 4.2% and 3.2% at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively. All substandard loans were secured by residential property on which the Banks have priority lien position.

The table below shows the aggregate amounts of our assets classified for regulatory purposes at the dates indicated:

At September 30 2012, and June 30, 2012, the Company had $1.6 million and $331,000 of loans classified as special mention, respectively. This category includes 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.

Securities: At September 30, 2012, the Company’s investment securities had decreased $388,000 or 7.8% to $4.5 million, due to scheduled and unscheduled principal repayments. The proceeds were utilized to partially offset a decrease in deposits.

Liabilities: At September 30, 2012, the Company’s liabilities totaled $160.7 million, a decrease of $3.4 million, or 2.1%, from total liabilities at June 30, 2012. The decrease in liabilities was attributed primarily to a $2.6 million, or 9.5%, decrease in FHLB Advances, which decreased to $24.5 million at September 30, 2012, and a decrease in deposits, which decreased $1.2 million or 0.9% to $133.3 million at September 30, 2012.

Shareholders’ Equity: At September 30, 2012, the Company’s shareholders’ equity totaled $59.1 million, an increase of $231,000 or 0.4% from the June 30, 2012 total.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2012 to September 30, 2012 (continued)

The Company paid dividends of $277,000 or 53.1% of net income for the three-month period just ended. The Company received notice from the Federal Reserve Board on September 27, 2012, that there would be no objection to a waiver of dividends paid by Kentucky First Federal to First Federal MHC in the next twelve months. On August 23, 2012, the members of First Federal MHC approved a dividend waiver on annual dividends of up to $0.40 per share of Kentucky First Federal Bancorp common stock by casting 64.3% of the eligible votes in favor of the waiver. At September 30, 2012, capital on a consolidated basis and at each of the banks exceeded the level necessary to be considered “well capitalized” and was sufficient, in management’s opinion, to support foreseeable growth. Management cannot speculate on future dividend levels. 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, 2012 for additional discussion regarding dividends.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

General

Net income totaled $522,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $101,000 or 24.0% from net income of $421,000 for the same period in 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to gains on sales of loans and lower expenses associated with other real estate owned.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $10,000 or 0.5% to $2.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, as interest expense continued decreasing at a faster pace than interest income. Interest income decreased by $169,000, or 6.5%, to $2.4 million, while interest expense decreased $205,000 or 31.8% to $439,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012

Interest income on loans decreased $153,000 or 6.2% to $2.3 million, due primarily to a decrease in the average rate earned on the loan portfolio. The average rate earned on loans outstanding for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, decreased 25 basis points to 5.10% for the three months just ended, while the average balance of loans outstanding decreased $2.6 million to $181.8 million for the period just ended. Interest income on mortgage-backed residential securities decreased $21,000 or 29.2% to $51,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily as a result of reduced volume, as securities matured and principal from mortgage-backed securities flowed back to the Company. There were no sales of investments during the three-month period just ended.

Interest expense on deposits and borrowings both declined period to period. Interest expense on deposits decreased $180,000 or 37.2% to $304,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, while interest expense on borrowings decreased $25,000 or 15.6% to $135,000 for the same period. The decline in interest expense on deposits was attributed primarily to a reduction in the average rate paid on the deposits. The average rate paid on deposits decreased 45 basis points to 0.93% for the most recent period, while the average balance of deposits decreased $9.1 million or 6.5% to $131.0 million. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was attributed primarily to a lower rate paid on borrowings outstanding, which decreased 48 basis points to 2.07% for the most recent period, while the average balance of borrowings outstanding increased $942,000 to $26.0 million for the recently ended three-month period.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 (continued)

Net Interest Income (continued)

Net interest margin increased from 3.84% for the prior year quarterly period to 4.01% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Provision for Losses on Loans

The Company recorded $26,000 in provision for losses on loans during the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to no provision for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The Company recorded the provision to restore the Company’s loan loss reserves to a level that management determined appropriate after charging off $28,000 in loans during the quarter. There can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance will be adequate to absorb unidentified losses on loans in the portfolio, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $109,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $83,000 from the same period in 2011. Net gains on sales of loans totaled $58,000 for the recent quarterly period ended compared to nil for the prior year quarter. In the current low interest rate environment the Company prefers to sell its long-term, fixed rate mortgage production rather than retain the loans in its portfolio, and the demand for that loan product was strong for the quarter just ended. Other real estate owned posted a $3,000 gain in the quarterly period ended September 30, 2012, compared to total charges of $27,000 in the prior year’s quarter. In the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company realized a net loss on the sale of REO of $17,000 as well as other-than-temporary impairment charges of $10,000.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense totaled $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $59,000, or 4.4%, compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease was due primarily to lower professional fees paid. Outside service fees, legal fees, and auditing and accounting fees (some of which were associated with the Company’s merger/acquisition plans announced November 3, 2011) decreased $39,000, $14,000 and $33,000, respectively from period to period. Foreclosure and OREO expenses (net) was actually a net gain of $28,000 for the recently ended quarter compared to net expense of $50,000 for the prior year period, as rental income exceeded rental expense and occupancy rates were higher. The core deposit intangible created when the Company purchased First Federal of Frankfort became completely amortized in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. Consequently, amortization of intangible assets for the recently ended quarter was nil, compared to $33,000 for the prior year period. Employee compensation and benefits totaled $854,000 for the recently-ended quarter compared to $747,000 for the prior year period, a $107,000 or 14.3% increase, and was attributed primarily to higher retirement expense.

Federal Income Tax Expense

Federal income taxes expense totaled $257,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $206,000 in the prior year period. The effective tax rates were 33.0% and 32.9% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
