NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2026

(unaudited)

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.

Note 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, 2026, 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, 2025, 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 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 30, 2025.

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. The Company is a majority-owned subsidiary of First Federal MHC. The accounts of First Federal MHC are not consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Debt Securities – Management determines the classification of debt securities at purchase as held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity securities are those we have both the intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Securities that are not considered held-to-maturity are considered either trading or available-for-sale securities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320, Investments – Debt Securities, and are reported at fair value in the statement of financial position. We have no trading securities. The adjustment to fair value for available-for-sale securities for unrealized gains and losses is included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax.

Loans – Loans for which we have the ability and intent to hold until maturity and/or payoff are reported at the carrying value of the unpaid principal reduced by unearned interest, an allowance for credit losses and unamortized deferred fees and costs and premiums. Interest income is accrued on a level yield basis. In circumstances where management believes that collection of interest income is uncollectible on specific loans, after considering economic and business conditions, collateral value and collection efforts, interest accrual is discontinued. Interest income may be recognized on the cash basis when received unless a determination has been made by management to apply all of the payment against principal.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation (continued)

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates (continued)

Allowance for Credit Losses – We account for the allowance for credit losses (ACL) 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 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 management’s 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.

Income Taxes – Income tax expense is based on the taxes due on the consolidated tax return plus deferred taxes on the expected future tax benefits and consequences of temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates.

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 SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative (ASU 2023-06). The amendments in this ASU are the result of FASB’s 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 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective (continued)

The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s financial position or results of operations.

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 Chief Operating Decision Maker (“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 segment’s 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 segment’s 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 entity’s 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. 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.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in Fiscal Year 2025 (continued)

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 became effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. ASU 2023-09 impacts income tax disclosures, and did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 December 15, 2023, and interim periods within the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

At March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025 the Company’s 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 pledged securities for both March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025. In addition, at both March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, there were no pledged overnight deposits.

We evaluated securities in unrealized loss positions for evidence of credit loss, considering duration, severity, financial condition of the issuer, our intention to sell or requirement to sell. Those securities were agency mortgage-backed securities, which carry a very limited amount of risk. Also, we have no intention to sell nor believe that we will be compelled to sell such securities before maturity. Based on our evaluation, no reserve for credit loss was considered necessary. Debt securities in an unrealized loss position as a percent of total debt securities were 81.6% and 88.8% at March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. The following table provides the amortized cost, gross unrealized losses, fair value, and length of time the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2026.

Note 4. Loans receivable

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 credit 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. All other loans are moved to non-accrual status in accordance with the Company’s policy, typically 90 days after the loan becomes 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.

The composition of the loan portfolio was as follows:

Note 4. Loans receivable (continued)

The allowance for credit losses is a valuation allowance that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected for the loans. Loan losses are charged off 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 relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience, derived from the Company’s data, provides the basis for estimation of expected credit losses, although management also compares the Company’s data with peer group data. Adjustments to historical loss information may be made for differences in: lending policy, procedures and practice; economic conditions; the nature and volume of the loan portfolio; volume of delinquent and problem loans; the current and anticipated economic conditions in the primary lending area; and other external 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.

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the pool evaluation. When management determines that foreclosure is probable or when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty at the reporting date and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale of the collateral, the expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, less any discounts and selling costs.

Management monitors loan performance on a monthly basis and performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the ACL. The Banks begin enhanced monitoring of all loans rated 5-Watch or worse and obtain a new appraisal or asset valuation for most loans placed on nonaccrual status. New appraisals are usually not obtained on loans with outstanding principal amounts of $50,000 or less. Management, at its discretion, may determine that additional adjustments to the appraisal or valuation are required. Valuation adjustments will be made as necessary based on factors, including, but not limited to: the economy, deferred maintenance, industry, type of collateral, age of the appraisal, etc., and the knowledge Management has about a particular situation. In addition, the cost to sell or liquidate the collateral is also estimated and deducted from the valuation in order to determine the net realizable value to the Banks. When determining the ACL, certain factors involved in the evaluation are inherently subjective and require material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows. Management monitors the adequacy of the ACL on an ongoing basis and reports its adequacy quarterly to the Board of Directors. Management believes the ACL at March 31, 2026 is adequate.

Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments, when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a modification will be executed with an individual borrower or the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Banks.

Note 4. Loans receivable (continued)

The Banks categorize 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, and current economic trends, among other factors. Management utilizes a risk rating scale ranging from 1-Highest Pass to 9-Loss to evaluate loan quality. Consumer purpose loans are identified as either performing or nonperforming based on the payment status of the loans. Nonperforming consumer loans are loans that are nonaccrual or 90 days or more past due and still accruing.

Our portfolio segments include residential real estate, nonresidential real estate, farm, land, commercial and industrial, and consumer and other loans. Risk factors associated with our portfolio segments are as follows:

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 97% 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 also 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.

Multi-family Loans

We offer mortgage loans secured by residential multi-family (five or more units). Generally, these loans are originated for 25 years or less and do not exceed 80% of the appraised value. Loans secured by multi-family generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans. These loans depend on the borrower’s 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.

Note 4. Loans receivable (continued)

Nonresidential Loans

We offer mortgage loans secured by nonresidential real estate 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. As with multi-family loans, commercial real estate loans generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans and these loans depend on the borrower’s creditworthiness, as well as the feasibility and cash flow potential of the project. Payments on loans secured by nonresidential 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 depositor’s 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 borrower’s 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 borrower’s creditworthiness and present the highest level of risk to the bank.

Impaired loans

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 loan’s 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 borrower’s 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 management’s opinion, have an abnormally low loan-to-value ratio.

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.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans:

The Company purchased loans during fiscal year 2013 for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The carrying amount of those loans, net of a purchase credit discount of $20,000 and $25,000 at March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, is as follows:

(in thousands)		March 31, 2026				June 30, 2025

Note 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 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 and quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. Level 2 securities include agency mortgage-backed securities and agency bonds.

Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

	Fair Value Measurements Using
(in thousands)	Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
March 31, 2026
Agency mortgage-backed: residential	$	10,265	$	–	$	10,265	$	–

June 30, 2025
Agency mortgage-backed: residential	$	9,757	$	–	$	9,757	$	–

There were no assets or liabilities which were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2025.

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

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.

Management Transition

On October 2, 2025, the Boards of Kentucky First Federal Bancorp and First Federal Savings Bank of Kentucky, an indirect wholly-owned bank subsidiary of the Company (“First Federal of Kentucky”), appointed R. Clay Hulette as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as President and Chief Executive Officer of First Federal of Kentucky, respectively. Such appointments were subject to regulatory approval. On December 10, 2025, the Company and First Federal of Kentucky received final regulatory non-objection, effective immediately, to these appointments. In connection with this transition, Don D. Jennings was appointed Director of Operations of First Federal of Kentucky and continues to serve as President of the Company and Chairman of the Board of Directors of First Federal of Kentucky.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Regulatory Developments Regarding First Federal of Kentucky

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 Bank’s 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.

Geopolitical volatility and recent inflation results lead general market participants to conclude there will likely be no interest rate decreases by the FOMC in this calendar year. Our March 31, 2026 EVE is anticipated to decrease by approximately 1.9% and increase by 7.5% under sudden and sustained decrease in prevailing market interest rates of 100 basis points and 200 basis points, respectively, and increase by 0.8% under a sudden and sustained increase in prevailing market rates of 100 basis points The company continues to strive for acceptable EVE in both increasing and decreasing interest rate environments. 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.

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2025 to March 31, 2026

Financial Position and Results of Operations

At March 31, 2026, the Company and the Banks were considered well-capitalized with capital ratios in excess of regulatory requirements. However, an extended economic recession could adversely impact the Company’s and the Banks’ capital position.

Assets: At March 31, 2026, the Company’s assets totaled $374.5 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 0.9%, from total assets at June 30, 2025, due primarily to the increase in cash and cash equivalents, as well as increases in loans, net and securities available-for-sale.

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents overall increased $1.8 million or 9.3% to $21.3 million at March 31, 2026. Most of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held in interest-bearing demand deposits that increased $5.4 million or 62.8%, which were partially offset by fed funds sold decreasing $3.5 million or 40.9% compared to June 30, 2025.

Debt securities: At March 31, 2026, our securities portfolio, which consisted of mortgage-backed securities, increased $580,000 or 5.2% and totaled $10.3 million, compared to June 30, 2025.

Loans: Loans, net and loans held-for-sale in the aggregate increased $760,000 or 0.2% and totaled $328.9 million at March 31, 2026. Loans receivable, net, increased by $1.0 million or 0.3% to $328.2 million at March 31, 2026. Loans held-for-sale decreased $215,000 and totaled $662,000 at March 31, 2026. 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. Because market interest rates have become more favorable, the Company has had more success in selling mortgages into the secondary market, which has led to elevated balances of loans held-for-sale.

Non-performing and classified loans: At March 31, 2026, the Company had non-performing loans (loans 90 or more days past due and still accruing or loans on nonaccrual status) of approximately $2.4 million, or 0.7% of total loans compared to $3.9 million or 1.2%, of total loans at June 30, 2025. The Company’s ACL totaled $2.2 million at both March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025. The ACL at March 31, 2026, represented 92.3% of nonperforming loans and 0.7% of total loans, while at June 30, 2025, ACL represented 54.1% of nonperforming loans and 0.7% of total loans.

The Company had $6.4 million in assets classified as substandard for regulatory purposes at March 31, 2026, with $0 in real estate owned (“REO”). Substandard loans as a percentage of total loans (including loans acquired) was 1.9% and 1.9% at March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. Of substandard loans, 100.0% were secured by real estate on which the Banks have priority lien position.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2025 to March 31, 2026 (continued)

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

(dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2026		June 30, 2025
Substandard assets	$	6,398	$	6,086
Doubtful assets		-		–
Loss assets		-		–
Total classified assets	$	6,398	$	6,086

The Company had no real estate acquired through foreclosure at March 31, 2026 or June 30, 2025. During the period presented the Company made no loans to facilitate the purchase of its other real estate owned by qualified buyers. Loans to facilitate the sale of other real estate owned, which were included in substandard loans, totaled $0 and $0 at March 31,2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

At March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the Company had $65,000 and $672,000 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.

Liabilities: Total liabilities increased $2.0 million, or 0.6% to $324.9 million at March 31, 2026, as Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $6.2 million or 14.4% to $48.9 million and demand deposit accounts increased $3.4 million or 11.4%.

Savings account deposits decreased $4.9 million or 10.1% and totaled $43.7 million at March 31, 2026 primarily related to a decrease in savings accounts associated with distributions of funds in administration of various estate accounts. Certificates of deposit decreased $2.3 million or 1.2%, due to brokered certificates of deposit decreasing $5.7 million or 12.9% to $38.3 million, which were offset by national market deposits increasing $4.1 million and totaling $5.7 million. National market deposits are an online listing service that offer certificate of deposits to national customers, attracting additional certificates of deposit under $250,000.

Shareholders’ Equity: At March 31, 2026, the Company’s shareholders’ equity totaled $49.7 million, an increase of $1.3 million or 2.7% from June 30, 2025. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily associated with net income of $1.2 million, as well as accumulated other comprehensive loss decreasing $60,000 or 41.4% from a loss of $145,000 at June 30, 2025 to a loss of $85,000 at March 31, 2026.

On January 16, 2024, the Company announced the suspension of quarterly dividends indefinitely. Holders of our common stock are only entitled to receive such dividends as our Board of Directors may declare out of funds available for such payments under applicable law and regulatory guidance. We cannot predict when or whether the Company will be able to pay future common stock dividends and if so, the amount of any such common stock dividends. Our ability to pay future dividends and if so at what level will also be dependent on numerous factors, including: our ability to receive any required regulatory approval or non-objection to pay dividends or 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; and our ability to successfully execute our strategy to increase earnings and core deposits, reduce reliance on higher cost funding sources and shift more of our loan portfolio towards higher-earning loans. See “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025 for additional discussion regarding dividends.

Kentucky First Federal Bancorp
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, 2026 and 2025

General

Net income totaled $1.2 million or $0.15 diluted earnings per share for the nine-months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $1.2 million from net earnings of $5,000 or $0.00 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2025. The increase in net earnings for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily attributable to increased net interest income, which was partially offset by higher non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $2.0 million or 33.0% to $8.0 million due primarily to increased interest income and decreased interest expense. Interest income increased $1.2 million or 8.7% due to an increase in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets, which increased 49 basis points to 5.69%. Average interest-earning assets decreased $2.5 million or 0.7% to $363.0 million for the recently-ended nine months. The average rate earned on assets was due primarily to an increase in the rate earned on loans, which was the result of new loan production carrying higher interest rates and adjustable rate mortgages continuing to reprice upward. Interest expense decreased $754,000 or 9.2% to $7.5 million for the nine-months recently ended due to a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities as well as a decrease in the average rate paid on those funds. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $1.9 million or 0.6% to $309.9 million for the quarterly period just ended, while the average rate paid decreased 32 basis points to 4.33% for the period.

The increase in interest income from loans period-to-period was due to the average rate earned on loans increasing 61 basis points to 5.86% despite the average balance of loans decreasing $3.4 million or 1.0% compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2025.

The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to decreased interest expense on FHLB advances of $707,000 or 32.3%. The decrease in interest expense on FHLB advances was due to both the average rate paid decreasing 32 basis points to 4.33% and the average balance decreasing $17.2 million to $45.6 million compared to the same period last year.

Net interest spread increased from 1.69% for the prior year nine-month period to 2.48% for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2026.

Provision for Credit Losses

Management determined that a $51,000 provision for credit loss was prudent during the recently-ended nine month period due to shifts in loan concentrations.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income increased $81,000 or 20.8% to $470,000 for the nine-months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior year period, primarily because of an increase in net gains from sale of loans of $66,000 or 40.7%. Recently, the market has become more conducive to the sale of fixed rate mortgages to the secondary market.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $446,000 or 7.0% to $6.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to higher data processing expense, outside service fees, and employee compensation and benefits. Data processing expense increased $244,000 or 54.1% due to increased core processing rates, outside service fees increased $134,000 or 35.5%, and employee compensation and benefits increased $198,000 or 5.5% due to annual performance-based adjustments and higher health insurance costs. These were partially offset by professional fees decreasing $142,000 or 49.0%.

Income Tax

Income tax expense increased $386,000 to an income tax expense of $380,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the prior year period due to increased earnings. The effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2026 was 23.6%. Included in net income is earnings of $66,000 on bank-owned life insurance which is non-taxable.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three-month Periods Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

General

Net income totaled $581,000 or $0.07 diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $574,000 from net income of $7,000 or $0.00 diluted earnings per share for the same period in 2025. The increase in net earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was primarily attributable to higher net interest income, which was partially offset by higher non-interest expense, higher provision for credit losses, and higher income taxes.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $736,000 or 34.5% to $2.9 million due primarily to interest income increasing while interest expense decreased period to period. Interest income increased $411,000 or 8.5% to $5.3 million, while interest expense decreased $325,000 or 12.0% to $2.4 million for the recently-ended quarter. As market rates have begun to decrease, liabilities have repriced down while our assets continue to reprice upward.

The average rate earned on interest-earning assets increased 48 basis points to 5.76% and was the primary reason for the increase in interest income, as average interest-earning assets decreased $2.2 million or 0.6% to $365.1 million for the recently-ended quarterly period. The increase in interest income was due primarily to an increase of $501,000 or 11.2% in interest income from loans, which totaled $5.0 million for the period.

The increase in interest income from loans period-to-period was due to the average rate earned on loans increasing 62 basis points to 5.97%. The average balance of loans decreased $882,000 or 0.3% to $332.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased $3.8 million or 1.2% to $312.9 million for the quarter just ended, and the average rate paid decreased 37 basis points to 3.06%. The cost of liabilities decreased primarily due to decreased certificates of deposit expense, which was $203,000 or 10.1% less than the same period ended March 31, 2025. The average rate paid on certificates of deposit decreasing 55 basis points to 3.62% is the primary reason for the decrease. Interest expense on FHLB advances also decreased $123,000 as the average balance decreased $8.6 million or 15.3% and the average rate paid decreased 24 basis points to 4.18% period to period.

Net interest spread increased from 1.85% for the prior year quarterly period to 2.70% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

Provision for Credit Losses

Management determined that a $41,000 provision for credit loss was prudent due to our current expected credit loss analysis performed during the recently-ended quarter and shifting loan concentrations.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income increased $58,000 or 71.6% to $139,000 for the recently ended quarter primarily due to increased net gain of sale on loans, increasing $41,000 or 186.4% for the three months recently ended. Recently, the market has become more conducive to the sale of fixed rate mortgages to the secondary market.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $34,000 or 1.6% and totaled $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to increased data processing expense and employee compensation and benefits.

Income taxes expense increased $166,000 to $174,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, was 23.0%. Included in net income is earnings of $29,000 on bank-owned life insurance which is non-taxable.
