HAZARD, Ky. and FRANKFORT, Ky., Nov. 4 KY-KFFB-earnings
HAZARD, Ky. and FRANKFORT, Ky., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kentucky First Federal Bancorp (Nasdaq: KFFB), the holding company for First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Hazard and First Federal Savings Bank of Frankfort, Kentucky, announced a net loss of $362,000 or $(0.05) diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net income of $312,000 or $0.04 diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of $674,000.
The decrease in net earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to a provision for loan loss of $968,000 compared to a provision of $15,000 in the prior year's quarter. The provision was chiefly the result of the Company's establishing specific valuation reserves in response to deterioration in the financial position of a single borrower. Also contributing to the decrease in net earnings was a decrease in net interest income. Interest income decreased $237,000 or 7.6% from $3.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 to $2.9 million for the quarter just ended. While interest expense decreased on a quarter-to-quarter basis, the decrease of $194,000 or 12.4% was insufficient to offset the decrease in interest income. Interest expense was $1.4 million for the quarter just ended. FDIC premiums increased $36,000 or 600.0% to $42,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared to $6,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.
At September 30, 2009 assets had decreased $5.1 million or 2.1% to $235.8 million compared to $240.9 million at June 30, 2009. This decrease was attributed primarily to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and investment securities, which resulted from the Company's efforts to effectively utilize liquidity by continuing its strategy of funding loans to the extent possible and then paying down borrowings. Also contributing to the decrease in assets was the increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses, which increased $921,000 or 135.8% to $1.6 million at September 30, 2009. FHLB advances decreased $6.2 million or 15.3% to $34.0 million at September 30, 2009. Funding for the borrowing reduction came primarily from maturing investment securities, which decreased $3.6 million or 17.4% to $17.0 million at September 30, 2009. Additional funding also came from an increase of $1.6 million or 1.1% in deposits, which totaled $141.3 million at September 30, 2009.
At September 30, 2009, the Company reported its book value per share as $7.35.
