Substantially all of our loans are made within the Banks’

respective market areas.

Residential Mortgage Loans .

Our primary lending

activity is the origination of mortgage loans to enable borrowers to purchase or refinance existing homes in the Banks’

market areas.

At June 30, 2019, residential mortgage loans totaled $235.8 million, or 83.5%, of our total loan portfolio.

a mix of adjustable-rate and fixed-rate mortgage loans with terms up to 30 years.

Adjustable-rate loans have an initial fixed term

of one, three, five or seven years.

After the initial term, the rate adjustments on most of First Federal of Kentucky’s adjustable-rate

loans are indexed to the National Average Contract Interest Rate for Major Lenders on the Purchase of Previously Occupied Homes.

The interest rates on these mortgages are adjusted once a year, with limitations on adjustments generally of one percentage point

per adjustment period, and a lifetime cap of five percentage points.

We determine loan fees charged, interest rates and other provisions

of mortgage loans on the basis of our own pricing criteria and competitive market conditions.

Some loans originated by the Banks

have an additional advance clause which allows the borrower to obtain additional funds at prevailing interest rates, subject to

managements’

At June 30, 2019, the Company’s loan portfolio included

$159.5 million in adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans, or 67.7%, of the Company’s residential mortgage loan portfolio.

The retention of adjustable-rate loans in the portfolio helps

reduce our exposure to increases in prevailing market interest rates.

However, there are unquantifiable credit risks resulting

from potential increases in costs to borrowers in the event of upward repricing of adjustable-rate loans.

It is possible that during

periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable-rate loans may increase due to increases in interest costs

to borrowers.

Further, although adjustable-rate loans allow us to increase the sensitivity of our interest-earning assets to changes

in interest rates, the extent of this interest sensitivity is limited by the initial fixed-rate period before the first adjustment

and the periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustment limitations.

Accordingly, there can be no assurance that yields on our adjustable-rate

loans will fully adjust to compensate for increases in our cost of funds.

Finally, adjustable-rate loans may decrease at a pace

faster than decreases in our cost of funds, resulting in reduced net income.

While one- to four-family residential real estate loans are

normally originated with up to 30-year terms, such loans typically remain outstanding for substantially shorter periods because

borrowers often prepay their loans in full upon sale of the mortgaged property or upon refinancing the original loan.

average loan maturity is a function of, among other factors, the level of purchase and sale activity in the real estate market,

prevailing interest rates and the interest rates payable on outstanding loans.

As interest rates declined and remained low over

the past few years, we have experienced high levels of loan repayments and refinancings.

The Banks offer various programs for the purchase and refinance

of one- to four-family loans.

Most of these loans have loan-to-value ratios of 80% or less, based on an appraisal provided by a

state licensed or certified appraiser.

For owner-occupied properties, the borrower may be able to borrow up to 95% of the value

if they secure and pay for private mortgage insurance or they may be able to obtain a second mortgage (at a higher interest rate)

in which they borrow up to 90% of the value.

The Boards of Directors of the Banks may approve a loan above the 80% loan-to-value

ratio without such enhancements.

Construction Loans .

We originate loans for a term

of one year or less to individuals to finance the construction of residential dwellings for personal use or for use as rental property.

On a case-by-case basis we consider construction loans on other than owner-occupied, residential property.

At June 30, 2019, construction

loans totaled $3.8 million, or 1.3%, of our total loan portfolio.

Our construction loans generally provide for the payment of interest

only during the construction phase, which is usually less than one year.

Loans generally can be made with a maximum loan to value

ratio of 80% of the appraised value.

Funds are disbursed as progress is made toward completion of the construction based on site

inspections by qualified bank staff.

Construction financing is generally considered to involve a

higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate.

Risk of loss on a construction loan depends

largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction or development and

the estimated cost (including interest) of construction.

During the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays

and cost overruns.

If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance funds beyond the

amount originally committed to permit completion of the development.

If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be

confronted, at or before the maturity of the loan, with a project having a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment.

As a result of the foregoing, construction lending often involves the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment dependent,

in part, on the success of the ultimate project rather than the ability of the borrower or guarantor to repay principal and interest.

If we are forced to foreclose on a project before or at completion due to a default, there can be no assurance that we will be

able to recover the unpaid balance and accrued interest on the loan, as well as related foreclosure and holding costs.

We offer mortgage loans secured

by multi-family property (residential real estate comprised of five or more units.) At June 30, 2019, multi-family loans totaled

We offer mortgage loans secured by multi-family property (residential real estate comprised of five or more units.)

At June 30, 2020, multi-family loans totaled $12.4 million, or 4.3%, of our total loan portfolio.

We originate multi-family real

estate loans for terms of generally 25 years or less.

Loan amounts generally do not exceed 80% of the appraised value and tend

to range much lower.

Nonresidential

As opportunities arise, we offer mortgage loans secured by nonresidential real estate, which is generally secured

by commercial office buildings, churches, and properties used for other purposes.

At June 30, 2020, nonresidential totaled $36.6

million, or 12.8% of our total loan portfolio.

We originate multi-family real estate loans for terms of generally 25 years

Nonresidential Loans .

As opportunities arise,

we offer mortgage loans secured by nonresidential real estate, which is generally secured by commercial office buildings, churches,

and properties used for other purposes.

At June 30, 2019, nonresidential totaled $30.4 million, or 10.8% of our total loan portfolio.

We originate nonresidential real estate loans for terms of generally 25 years or less and loan amounts generally do not exceed

80% of the appraised value and tend to range much lower.

Loans secured by multi-family and nonresidential real estate

generally have larger balances and involve a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans.

concern in multi-family and nonresidential real estate lending is 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 of such loans may be subject to a greater extent than residential real estate loans to

adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

To monitor cash flows on income properties, we require borrowers and/or

loan guarantors to provide annual financial statements on larger multi-family and commercial real estate loans.

In reaching a decision

on whether to make a multi-family or nonresidential real estate loan, we consider the net cash flow of the project, the borrower’s

expertise, credit history and the value of the underlying property.

Commercial Non-mortgage Loans .

At June 30, 2019,

commercial non-mortgage loans totaled $2.1 million, or 0.7%, of our total loan portfolio.

We do not emphasize commercial non-mortgage

loans, which may be secured by vehicles used in business or by inventory and equipment of the business or may be unsecured, although

we do originate such loans on a limited basis and generally require a pre-existing relationship with the Bank.

These loans are

made only to businesses in our local market and we generally require personal guarantees of well-established individuals for these

Of primary concern in multi-family and nonresidential real estate lending is 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 of such loans may be

subject to a greater extent than residential real estate loans to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

To monitor cash flows on income properties, we require borrowers and/or loan guarantors to provide annual financial statements

on larger multi-family and commercial real estate loans.

In reaching a decision on whether to make a multi-family or nonresidential

real estate loan, we consider the net cash flow of the project, the borrower’s expertise, credit history and the value of

the underlying property.

Non-mortgage Loans .

At June 30, 2020, commercial non-mortgage loans totaled $2.2 million, or 0.8%, of our total loan portfolio.

We do not emphasize commercial non-mortgage loans, which may be secured by vehicles used in business or by inventory and equipment

of the business or may be unsecured, although we do originate such loans on a limited basis and generally require a pre-existing

relationship with the Bank.

These loans are made only to businesses in our local market and we generally require personal guarantees

of well-established individuals for these loans.

Commercial loans involve an even greater degree of risk than real estate loans.

Consumer Lending.

Our consumer loans include home

equity lines of credit, loans secured by savings deposits, automobile loans and unsecured or personal loans.

At June 30, 2019,

our consumer loan balance totaled $10.2 million, or 3.6%, of our total loan portfolio.

Of the consumer loan balance at June 30,

2019, $8.2 million were home equity loans, $1.4 million were loans secured by savings deposits and $600,000 were automobile or

unsecured loans.

Our home equity loans are made at First Federal of Kentucky and are made on the security of residential real estate

Our consumer loans include home equity lines of credit, loans secured by savings deposits, automobile loans and

unsecured or personal loans.

At June 30, 2020, our consumer loan balance totaled $9.6 million, or 3.3%, of our total loan portfolio.

Of the consumer loan balance at June 30, 2020, $7.6 million were home equity loans, $1.2 million were loans secured by savings

deposits and $710,000 were automobile or unsecured loans.

Our home equity loans are made on the security of residential real estate

and have terms of up to 15 years.

Most of First Federal of Kentucky’s home equity loans are second mortgages subordinate

only to first mortgages also held by the bank and do not exceed 80% of the estimated value of the property, less the outstanding

principal of the first mortgage.

First Federal of Kentucky does offer home equity loans up to 90% of the value less the balance

of the first mortgage at a premium rate to qualified borrowers.

These loans are not secured by private mortgage insurance.

Federal of Kentucky’s home equity loans require the monthly payment of 1.0% to 2% of the unpaid principal until maturity,

when the remaining unpaid principal, if any, is due.

First Federal of Kentucky’s home equity loans bear variable rates of

interest indexed to the prime rate for loans with 80% or less loan-to-value ratio, and 2% above the prime rate for loans with a

loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80%.

At June 30, 2019, the total outstanding

home equity loans amounted to 2.9% of the Company’s total loan portfolio.

Loans secured by savings are originated for up to 90% of the

depositor’s savings account balance.

The interest rate is varying percentage points above the rate paid on the savings account,

and the account must be pledged as collateral to secure the loan.

At June 30, 2019, loans on savings accounts totaled 0.4% of the

Company’s total loan portfolio.

Consumer loans generally entail greater risk than do residential

mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciable assets.

and unsecured loans at June 30, 2019, totaled 0.3% of the Company’s total loan portfolio.

Loan Originations, Purchases and Sales .

Loan originations

come from a number of sources.

The primary source of loan originations are our in-house loan originators, and to a lesser extent,

advertising and referrals from customers and real estate agents.

First Federal of Kentucky sells fixed-rate loans with longer maturities

to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (“FHLB-Cincinnati”).

We earn income on the loans sold through fees we charge

on the origination, interest spread premiums earned when we sell the loans, and loan servicing fees on an on-going basis, because

servicing rights are retained on such loans.

At June 30, 2019, $9.4 million in loans were being serviced by First Federal of Kentucky

for the FHLB-Cincinnati.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority .

activities follow written, nondiscriminatory, underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by each Bank’s

Board of Directors and management.

First Federal of Hazard’s loan committee, consisting of its two senior officers, has authority

to approve loans of up to $275,000.

Loans above this amount and loans with non-standard terms such as longer repayment terms or

high loan-to-value ratios, must be approved by our Board of Directors.

First Federal of Kentucky’s loan approval process

allows for various combinations of experienced bank officers to approve or deny loans which are one- to four-family properties

totaling $350,000 or less.

Loans that do not conform to this criteria must be submitted to the Board of Directors or Loan Committee

composed of at least three directors, for approval.

It is the Company’s practice to record a lien on the real

estate securing a loan.

The Banks generally do not require title insurance, although it may be required for loans made in certain

The Banks do require fire and casualty insurance on all security properties and flood insurance when the collateral property

is located in a designated flood hazard area.

Loans to One Borrower .

The maximum amount either

Bank may lend to one borrower and the borrower’s related entities is limited, by regulation, to generally 15% of that Bank’s

stated capital and the allowance for loan losses.

At June 30, 2019, the regulatory limit on loans to one borrower was $4.6 million

for First Federal of Hazard and $2.8 million for First Federal of Kentucky.

Neither of the banks had lending relationships in excess

of their respective lending limits.

However, loans or participations in loans may be sold among the Banks, which may allow a borrower’s

total loans with the Company to exceed the limit of either individual bank.

Loan Commitments .

The Banks issue commitments

for the funding of mortgage loans.

Generally, these commitments exist from the time the underwriting of the loan is completed and

the closing of the loan.

Generally, these commitments are for a maximum of 30 or 60 days but management routinely extends the commitment

if circumstances delay the closing.

Management reserves the right to verify or re-evaluate the borrower’s qualifications

and to change the rates and terms of the loan at that time.

If conditions exist whereby either Bank experiences a significant

increase in loans outstanding or commits to originate loans that are riskier than a typical one- to four-family mortgage, management

and the boards will consider reflecting the anticipated loss exposure in a separate liability.

As residential loans are approved

in the normal course of business, and those loans are underwritten to the standards of the Banks, management does not believe alteration

of the allowance for loan losses is warranted.

At June 30, 2019, no commitment losses were reflected in a separate liability.

Both Banks offer construction loans that either have a separate

construction period of one year or less, approved with a simultaneous commitment for permanent financing, or a loan that has a

construction phase of one year or less that is convertible to permanent financing.

Interest Rates and Loan Fees.

Interest rates charged

on mortgage loans are primarily determined by competitive loan rates offered in our market areas and our yield objectives.

loan rates reflect factors such as prevailing market interest rate levels, the supply of money available to the savings industry

and the demand for such loans.

These factors are in turn affected by general economic conditions, the monetary policies of the

federal government, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the general supply of money in the economy,

tax policies and governmental budget matters.

We receive fees in connection with late payments on our loans.

Depending on the type of loan and the competitive environment for mortgage loans, we may charge an origination fee on all or some

of the loans we originate.

We may also offer a menu of loans whereby the borrower may pay a higher fee to receive a lower rate

or to pay a smaller or no fee for a higher rate.

At June 30, 2020, the total

outstanding home equity loans amounted to 2.7% of the Company’s total loan portfolio.

Delinquencies .

When a borrower fails to make a

required loan payment, we take a number of steps to have the borrower cure the delinquency and restore the loan to current status.

When a borrower fails to make a required loan payment, we take a number of steps to have the borrower cure the delinquency

and restore the loan to current status.

We make initial contact with the borrower when the loan becomes 15 days past due.

Subsequently, bank staff, under the direct supervision

of senior management and with consultation by the Banks’

attorneys, attempt to contact the borrower and determine their status

and plans for resolving the delinquency.

However, once a delinquency reaches 90 days, management considers foreclosure and, if

the borrower has not provided a reasonable plan (such as selling the collateral, securing a commitment from another lender to refinance

the loan or submitting a plan to repay the delinquent principal, interest, escrow, and late charges) the foreclosure suit may be

In some cases, management may delay initiating the foreclosure suit if, in management’s opinion, the Banks’

chance of loss is minimal (such as with loans where the estimated value of the property greatly exceeds the amount of the loan)

or if the original borrower is deceased or incapacitated.

If a foreclosure action is initiated and the loan is not brought current,

paid in full, or refinanced with another lender before the foreclosure sale, the real property securing the loan is sold at foreclosure.

The Banks are represented at the foreclosure sale and in most cases will bid an amount equal to the Banks’

investment (including

interest, advances for taxes and insurance, foreclosure costs, and attorney’s fees).

If another bidder outbids the Bank,

the Bank’s investment is received in full.

If another bidder does not outbid the Banks, the Banks acquire the property and

attempt to sell it to recover their investment.

A borrower’s filing for bankruptcy can alter the methods

available to the Banks to seek collection.

In such cases, the Banks work closely with legal counsel to resolve the delinquency

as quickly as possible.

We may consider loan workout arrangements with certain borrowers

under certain conditions.

Management of each bank provides a report to its board of directors on a monthly basis of all loans more

than 60 days delinquent, including loans in foreclosure, and all property acquired through foreclosure.

Investment Activities

We have legal authority to invest in various types of liquid

assets, including U.S.

Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies and state and municipal governments, mortgage-backed

securities and certificates of deposit of federally insured institutions.

We also are required to maintain an investment in FHLB-Cincinnati

stock, the level of which is largely dependent on our level of borrowings from the FHLB.

At June 30, 2019, our investment portfolio consisted of a single

Treasury note, a single agency bond and mortgage-backed securities issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie

Mae with stated final maturities of 30 years or less.

The Company held no equity position with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

Our investment objectives are to provide an alternate source

of low-risk investments when loan demand is insufficient, to provide and maintain liquidity, to maintain a balance of high quality,

diversified investments to minimize risk, to provide collateral for pledging requirements, to establish an acceptable level of

interest rate risk, and to generate a favorable return.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

First Federal of Kentucky owns several Bank Owned Life Insurance

policies totaling $2.5 million at June 30, 2019.

The purpose of these policies is to offset future escalation of the costs of non-salary

employee benefit plans such as First Federal of Kentucky’s defined benefit retirement plan and First Federal of Kentucky’s

health insurance plan.

The lives of certain key Bank employees are insured, and First Federal of Kentucky is the sole beneficiary

and will receive any benefits upon the employee’s death.

The policies were purchased from four highly-rated life insurance

The design of the plan allows for the cash value of the policy to be designated as an asset of First Federal of Kentucky.

The asset’s value will increase by the crediting rate, which is a rate set by each insurance company and is subject to change

on an annual basis.

The growth of the value of the asset will be recorded as other operating income.

Other risks include the possibility

that the favorable tax treatment of the income could change, that the crediting rate will not be increased in a manner comparable

to market interest rates, or that this type of plan will no longer be permitted by First Federal of Kentucky’s regulators.

This asset is considered illiquid because, although First Federal of Kentucky may terminate the policies and receive the original

premium plus all earnings, such an action would require the payment of federal income taxes on all earnings since the policies’

Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds

Deposits, loan repayments and maturities,

Regulation and Supervision

First Federal of Hazard and First Federal

of Kentucky are subject to extensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency,

as their primary federal regulator, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as insurer of deposits.

First Federal of Hazard

and First Federal of Kentucky are each members of the Federal Home Loan Bank System and their deposit accounts are insured up to

applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund managed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

First Federal of Hazard and

First Federal of Kentucky must each file reports with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance

Corporation concerning their activities and financial condition in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals before entering into

certain transactions such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other financial institutions.

There are periodic examinations by

the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and, under certain circumstances, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to evaluate

First Federal of Hazard’s and First Federal of Kentucky’s safety and soundness and compliance with various regulatory

requirements.

This regulatory structure is intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors.

Kentucky First and First Federal MHC, as savings and loan holding companies, are required to file certain reports with, and

are subject to examination by, and otherwise are required to comply with the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board.

The Dodd-Frank Act made extensive changes in the regulation

of federal savings banks such as First Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Kentucky.

Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Office of

Thrift Supervision was eliminated and responsibility for the supervision and regulation of federal savings banks was transferred

to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the agency that is primarily responsible for the regulation and supervision of

national banks, on July 21, 2011.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency assumed responsibility for implementing and enforcing

many of the laws and regulations applicable to federal savings banks.

Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act created a new Consumer Financial

Protection Bureau as an independent bureau of the Federal Reserve Board.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau assumed responsibility

for the implementation of the federal financial consumer protection and fair lending laws and regulations and has authority to

impose new requirements.

However, institutions of less than $10 billion in assets, such as First Federal of Hazard and First Federal

of Kentucky, will continue to be examined for compliance with consumer protection and fair lending laws and regulations by, and

be subject to the enforcement authority of, their prudential regulator.

Many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act require the

issuance of regulations before their impact on operations can be fully assessed by management.

However, there is a significant

possibility that the Dodd-Frank Act will, at a minimum, result in increased regulatory burden and compliance for First Federal

MHC, Kentucky First and each of the Banks.

In May 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer

Protection Act, was enacted to modify or remove certain financial reform rules and regulations, including some of those implemented

under the Dodd-Frank Act.

While the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act maintains most of the regulatory

structure established by the Dodd-Frank Act, it amends certain aspects of the regulatory framework for small depository institutions

with assets of less than $10 billion and for large banks with assets of more than $50 billion.

Many of these changes could result

in meaningful regulatory changes for community banks such as the Bank, and their holding companies.

The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection

Act, among other matters, expands the definition of qualified mortgages which may be held by a financial institution and simplifies

the regulatory capital rules for financial institutions and their holding companies with total consolidated assets of less than

$10 billion by instructing the federal banking regulators to establish a single “Community Bank Leverage Ratio”

between 8 and 10 percent.

Any qualifying depository institution or its holding company that exceeds the “community bank leverage

will be considered to have met generally applicable leverage and risk-based regulatory capital requirements and any

qualifying depository institution that exceeds the new ratio will be considered to be “well capitalized”

prompt corrective action rules.

The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act also expands the category of

holding companies that may rely on the “Small Bank Holding Company and Savings and Loan Holding Company Policy Statement”

by raising the maximum amount of assets a qualifying holding company may have from $1 billion to $3 billion.

A major effect of

this change is to exclude such holding companies from the minimum capital requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act.

In addition, the

Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act includes regulatory relief for community banks regarding regulatory

examination cycles, call reports, the Volcker Rule (proprietary trading prohibitions), mortgage disclosures and risk weights for

certain high-risk commercial real estate loans.

It is difficult at this time to predict when or how any new

standards under the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act will ultimately be applied to us or what specific

impact and the yet-to-be-written implementing rules and regulations will have on community banks.

In its 2019 session, the Kentucky General Assembly passed legislation

making changes to the Commonwealth of Kentucky tax law which resulted in the Company recognizing an income tax benefit of approximately

$63,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

Regulation of Federal Savings Institutions

Business Activities.

Federal law and regulations,

primarily the Home Owners’

Loan Act and the regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, govern the activities

of federal savings institutions, such as First Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Kentucky.

These laws and regulations delineate

the nature and extent of the activities in which federal savings banks may engage.

In particular, certain lending authority for

federal savings institutions, e.g.

, commercial, nonresidential real property loans and consumer loans, is limited to a specified

percentage of the institution’s capital or assets.

Federal savings institutions are authorized

to establish branch offices in any state or states of the United States and its territories, subject to the approval of the Office

of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Capital Requirements .

In July 2013, the Federal

Reserve Board and the OCC approved a new rule that implemented the Basel III regulatory capital reforms.

The capital regulations

now require federal savings banks to meet four minimum capital standards:

a 4.0% Tier 1 leverage ratio;

a 4.5% common equity Tier

of Federal Savings Institutions

Federal law and regulations, primarily the Home Owners’

Loan Act and the regulations of the Office of

the Comptroller of the Currency, govern the activities of federal savings institutions, such as First Federal of Hazard and First

In particular, certain lending authority for federal savings institutions, e.g.

, commercial, nonresidential

real property loans and consumer loans, is limited to a specified percentage of the institution’s capital or assets.

Federal savings institutions are authorized to establish branch offices in any state or states of the United States and

its territories, subject to the approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Requirements .

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board and the OCC approved a new rule that implemented the Basel III regulatory

capital reforms.

The capital regulations now require federal savings banks to meet four minimum capital standards:

1 leverage ratio;

a 4.5% common equity Tier 1 ratio;

a 6.0% Tier 1 capital ratio;

and an 8% Total capital ratio.

In addition, the prompt corrective action standards discussed

below also establish, in effect, a minimum 2% tangible capital standard.

The rules eliminated the inclusion of certain instruments,

such as trust preferred securities, from Tier 1 capital.

Instruments issued before May 19, 2010 are grandfathered for companies

with consolidated assets of $15 billion or less.

The rules also established a “capital conservation buffer”

above the new regulatory minimum capital requirements, which must consist entirely of common equity Tier 1 capital and would result

in the following minimum ratios:

(1) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0%, (2) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%, and (3)

a total capital ratio of 10.5%.

The new capital conservation buffer requirement was phased in beginning in January 2016 at 0.625%

of risk-weighted assets and increased by that amount each year until fully implemented in January 2019.

An institution will be

subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases and paying discretionary bonuses if its capital level

falls below the buffer amount.

These limitations will establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained income that could be

utilized for such actions.

The risk-based capital standard requires federal savings banks

to maintain Tier 1 and total capital (which is defined as core capital and supplementary capital, less certain specified deductions

from total capital such as reciprocal holdings of depository institution capital, instruments and equity investments) to risk-weighted

assets of at least 6% and 8%, respectively.

In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance

sheet assets, recourse obligations, residual interests and direct credit substitutes, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of

0% to 150%, as assigned by the capital regulation based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset.

Tier 1 capital is

generally defined as common stockholders’

equity (including retained earnings), certain non-cumulative perpetual preferred

stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles other than certain

mortgage servicing rights and credit card relationships.

The components of Tier 2 capital currently include cumulative preferred

stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock,

the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets and up to 45% of unrealized gains

on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values.

Overall, the amount of Tier 2 capital included

as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital.

Savings and loan holding companies with less than $1 billion

in assets are not subject to specific regulatory capital requirements.

The Dodd-Frank Act, however, requires the Federal Reserve

Board to promulgate consolidated capital requirements for depository institution holding companies, including savings and loan

holding companies that are no less stringent, both quantitatively and in terms of components of capital, than those applicable

to institutions themselves.

As of June 30, 2019, the capital levels of First Federal of

Hazard and First Federal of Kentucky exceed the required capital amounts to be considered “well capitalized”

believe they also meet the fully-phased in minimum capital requirements, including the related capital conservation buffers, as

required by the Basel III capital rules.

Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action .

Prompt corrective

action regulations provide five classifications:

well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized

and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition.

If adequately capitalized,

regulatory approval is required to accept broker deposits.

The OCC is required to take certain supervisory actions against undercapitalized

institutions, the severity of which depends upon the institution’s degree of undercapitalization.

In addition, numerous mandatory

supervisory actions become immediately applicable to an undercapitalized institution, including, but not limited to, increased

monitoring by regulators and restrictions on growth, capital distributions and expansion.

The OCC could also take any one of a

number of discretionary supervisory actions, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive

officers and directors.

Significantly and undercapitalized institutions are subject to additional mandatory and discretionary measures.

Loans to One Borrower.

Federal law provides that

savings institutions are generally subject to the limits on loans to one borrower applicable to national banks.

Generally, subject

to certain exceptions, a savings institution may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in

excess of 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus.

An additional amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus,

if secured by specified readily-marketable collateral.

the prompt corrective action standards discussed below also establish, in effect, a minimum 2% tangible capital standard.

The Dodd-Frank Act, however, requires the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate consolidated capital requirements for

depository institution holding companies, including savings and loan holding companies that are no less stringent, both

quantitatively and in terms of components of capital, than those applicable to institutions themselves.

Certain community

banks and holding companies (which include the Company, Frankfort First, First Federal of Kentucky and First Federal of

Hazard) that satisfy certain qualifying criteria, including having less than $10 billion in average total consolidated assets

and a leverage ratio (referred to as the “community bank leverage ratio”) of greater than 9%, were eligible to

opt-in to the CBLR framework.

The CBLR ratio is the ratio of a banking organization’s Tier 1 capital to its average

total consolidated assets as reported on the banking organization’s applicable regulatory filings.

The Banks elected to

utilize the CBLR framework effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

As of June 30, 2020, the capital levels of First

Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Kentucky exceed the minimum required capital amounts for capital adequacy.

by statute, the federal banking agencies have adopted Interagency Guidelines prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness.

guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems

at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired.

If the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency determines

that a savings institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency

may require the institution to submit an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard.

Limitation on Capital Distributions.

the Comptroller of the Currency regulations impose limitations upon all capital distributions by a savings institution, including

cash dividends, payments to repurchase its shares and payments to shareholders of another institution in a cash-out merger.

the regulations, an application to and the prior approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required before any

capital distribution if the institution does not meet the criteria for “expedited treatment”

of applications under

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regulations ( i.e.

, generally, examination and Community Reinvestment Act ratings

in the two top categories), the total capital distributions for the calendar year exceed net income for that year plus the amount

of retained net income for the preceding two years, the institution would be undercapitalized following the distribution or the

distribution would otherwise be contrary to a statute, regulation or agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

If an application is not required, the institution must still provide prior notice to the Federal Reserve Board of the capital

distribution if, like First Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Kentucky, it is a subsidiary of a holding company as well as

an informational notice to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

If First Federal of Hazard’s or First Federal of

Kentucky’s capital were ever to fall below its regulatory requirements or the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency notified

it that it was in need of increased supervision, its ability to make capital distributions could be restricted.

In addition, the

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency could prohibit a proposed capital distribution that would otherwise be permitted by the

regulation, if the agency determines that such distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test.

Federal law requires

savings institutions to meet a qualified thrift lender test.

Under the test, a savings institution is required to either qualify

as a “domestic building and loan association”

under the Internal Revenue Code or maintain at least 65% of its “portfolio

assets”

The guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies

use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired.

If the Office of the

Comptroller of the Currency determines that a savings institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency may require the institution to submit an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with

the standard.

on Capital Distributions.

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regulations impose limitations upon all capital distributions

by a savings institution, including cash dividends, payments to repurchase its shares and payments to shareholders of another

institution in a cash-out merger.

Under the regulations, an application to and the prior approval of the Office of the Comptroller

of the Currency is required before any capital distribution if the institution does not meet the criteria for “expedited

treatment”

of applications under Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regulations ( i.e.

, generally, examination

and Community Reinvestment Act ratings in the two top categories), the total capital distributions for the calendar year exceed

net income for that year plus the amount of retained net income for the preceding two years, the institution would be undercapitalized

following the distribution or the distribution would otherwise be contrary to a statute, regulation or agreement with the Office

of the Comptroller of the Currency.

If an application is not required, the institution must still provide prior notice to the

Federal Reserve Board of the capital distribution if, like First Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Kentucky, it is a subsidiary

of a holding company as well as an informational notice to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

If First Federal of

Hazard’s or First Federal of Kentucky’s capital were ever to fall below its regulatory requirements or the Office

of the Comptroller of the Currency notified it that it was in need of increased supervision, its ability to make capital distributions

could be restricted.

In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency could prohibit a proposed capital distribution

that would otherwise be permitted by the regulation, if the agency determines that such distribution would constitute an unsafe

or unsound practice.

Thrift Lender Test.

Federal law requires savings institutions to meet a qualified thrift lender test.

Under the test,

a savings institution is required to either qualify as a “domestic building and loan association”

under the Internal

Revenue Code or maintain at least 65% of its “portfolio assets”

(total assets less:

(i) specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets;

(i) specified liquid assets up

to 20% of total assets;

(ii) intangibles, including goodwill;

and (iii) the value of property used to conduct business) in certain “qualified thrift investments”

(primarily residential

mortgages and related investments, including certain mortgage-backed securities, education loans, credit card loans and small business

loans) in at least 9 months out of each 12-month period.

A savings institution that fails the qualified thrift lender

test is subject to certain operating restrictions.

The Dodd-Frank Act also specifies that failing the qualified thrift lender test

is a violation of law that could result in an enforcement action and dividend limitations.

At June 30, 2019, First Federal of Hazard

and First Federal of Kentucky each met the qualified thrift lender test.

Transactions with Related Parties.

limits the authority of First Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Kentucky to lend to, and engage in certain other transactions

with (collectively, “covered transactions”), “affiliates”

, any company that controls or is

under common control with an institution, including Kentucky First, First Federal MHC and their non-savings institution subsidiaries).

The aggregate amount of covered transactions with any individual affiliate is limited to 10% of the capital and surplus of the

savings institution.

The aggregate amount of covered transactions with all affiliates is limited to 20% of the savings institution’s

capital and surplus.

Loans and other specified transactions with affiliates are required to be secured by collateral in an amount

and of a type described in federal law.

The purchase of low-quality assets from affiliates is generally prohibited.

with affiliates must be on terms and under circumstances that are at least as favorable to the institution as those prevailing

at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated companies.

In addition, savings institutions are prohibited from lending

to any affiliate that is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and no savings institution may

purchase the securities of any affiliate other than a subsidiary.

Transactions between sister depository institutions that are

80% or more owned by the same holding company are exempt from the quantitative limits and collateral requirements.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 generally prohibits a company

from making loans to its executive officers and directors.

However, that law contains a specific exception for loans by a depository

institution to its executive officers and directors in compliance with federal banking laws.

Under such laws, First Federal of

Hazard’s and First Federal of Kentucky’s authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and 10% shareholders

(“insiders”), as well as entities such persons control, is limited.

(1) investing in the stock of insured depository

institutions and acquiring them by means of a merger or acquisition;

(2) investing in a corporation the capital stock of which

may be lawfully purchased by a savings association under federal law;

Legislation, which authorized mutual holding companies to engage in activities permitted

for financial holding companies, expanded the authorized activities.

Financial holding companies may engage in a broad array of

financial services activities, including insurance and securities.

Federal law prohibits a savings and loan holding company, including

a federal mutual holding company, from directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, acquiring more than 5% of the

voting stock of another savings institution, or its holding company, without prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Board.

Federal law also prohibits a savings and loan holding company from acquiring or retaining control of a depository institution that

is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings

institutions, the Federal Reserve Board must consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the company

and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the insurance funds, the convenience and needs of the community

and competitive factors.

The Federal Reserve Board is prohibited from approving any acquisition

that would result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings institutions in more than one state, except:

(1) the approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies, and (2) the acquisition

of a savings institution in another state if the laws of the state of the target savings institution specifically permit such acquisitions.

The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company acquisitions.

Capital Requirements .

Source of Strength.

The Dodd-Frank Act also extends

the “source of strength”

doctrine to savings and loan holding companies.

The regulatory agencies must promulgate regulations

implementing the “source of strength”

policy that holding companies act as a source of strength to their subsidiary

depository institutions by providing capital, liquidity and other support in times of financial stress.

The Federal Reserve Board has issued

a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies, which expressed the Federal Reserve Board’s

view that a bank holding company should pay cash dividends only to the extent that the company’s net income for the past

year is sufficient to cover both the cash dividends and a rate of earning retention that is consistent with the company’s

capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition.

The Federal Reserve Board also indicated that it would be inappropriate

for a company experiencing serious financial problems to borrow funds to pay dividends.

Furthermore, under the prompt correction

action regulations, the Federal Reserve Board may prohibit a bank holding company from paying any dividends if the holding company’s

bank subsidiary is classified as “undercapitalized.”

Stock Holding Company Subsidiary Regulation.

Reserve Board regulations govern the two-tier mutual holding company form of organization and subsidiary stock holding companies

that are controlled by mutual holding companies.

Kentucky First is the stock holding company subsidiary of First Federal MHC.

First is only permitted to engage in activities that are permitted for First Federal MHC subject to the same restrictions and conditions.

Waivers of Dividends by First Federal MHC .

Federal Reserve Board regulations require First Federal MHC to notify the Federal Reserve Board if it proposes to waive receipt

of our dividends from Kentucky First.

The Dodd-Frank Act addresses the issue of dividend waivers in the context of the transfer

of the supervision of savings and loan holding companies to the Federal Reserve Board.

The Dodd-Frank Act specified that dividends

may be waived if certain conditions are met, including that the Federal Reserve Board does not object after being given written

notice of the dividend and proposed waiver.

The Dodd-Frank Act indicates that the Federal Reserve Board may not object to such

a waiver (i) if the mutual holding company involved has, prior to December 1, 2009, reorganized into a mutual holding company structure,

engaged in a minority stock offering and waived dividends;

(ii) the board of directors of the mutual holding company expressly

determines that a waiver of the dividend is consistent with its fiduciary duties to members and (iii) the waiver would not be detrimental

to the safe and sound operation of the savings association subsidiaries of the holding company.

The Federal Reserve Board will

not consider the amount of dividends waived by the mutual holding company in determining an appropriate exchange ratio in the event

of a full conversion to stock form.

Beginning with the dividend paid in September 2012, First Federal MHC has annually sought member

approval to obtain a waiver from the Federal Reserve Board to waive the MHC’s dividends from the Company.

This effort has

been successful each year, including an approval in 2019, which will cover quarterly dividends of $0.10 per common share through

It is expected that First Federal MHC will continue to waive future dividends, except to the extent dividends are needed

to fund First Federal MHC’s continuing operations, subject to the ability of First Federal MHC to obtain regulatory approval

of its requests to waive dividends and to its ability to obtain member approval of dividend waivers.

For more information, see

Item 1A, “Risk Factors –

Our ability to pay dividends is subject to the ability of First Federal of Hazard and First

Federal of Kentucky to make capital distributions to Kentucky First and the waiver of dividends by First Federal MHC.”

Conversion of First Federal MHC to Stock Form.

Reserve Board regulations permit First Federal MHC to convert from the mutual form of organization to the capital stock form of

organization.

In a conversion transaction, a new holding company would be formed as successor to First Federal MHC, its corporate

existence would end, and certain depositors would receive the right to subscribe for additional shares of the new holding company.

In a conversion transaction, each share of common stock held by stockholders other than First Federal MHC would be automatically

converted into a number of shares of common stock of the new holding company based on an exchange ratio determined at the time

of conversion that ensures that stockholders other than First Federal MHC own the same percentage of common stock in the new holding

company as they owned in us immediately before conversion.

Under Federal Reserve Board regulations, stockholders other than First

Federal MHC would not be diluted because of any dividends waived by First Federal MHC (and waived dividends would not be considered

in determining an appropriate exchange ratio, provided that the mutual holding company involved was formed, engaged in a minority

offering and waived dividends prior to December 1, 2009), in the event First Federal MHC converts to stock form.

First Federal

MHC was formed, engaged in a minority stock offering and waived dividends prior to December 1, 2009.

The total number of shares

held by stockholders other than First Federal MHC after a conversion transaction also would be increased by any purchases by stockholders

other than First Federal MHC in the stock offering conducted as part of the conversion transaction.

Acquisition of Control.

Under the federal Change

in Bank Control Act, a notice must be submitted to the Federal Reserve Board if any person (including a company), or group acting

in concert, seeks to acquire “control”

of a savings and loan holding company or savings association.

An acquisition

of “control”

can occur upon the acquisition of 10% or more of the voting stock of a savings and loan holding company

or savings institution or as otherwise defined by the Federal Reserve Board.

Under the Change in Bank Control Act, the Federal

Reserve Board has 60 days from the filing of a complete notice to act, taking into consideration certain factors, including the

financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the anti-trust effects of the acquisition.

Any company that so acquires

control would then be subject to regulation as a savings and loan holding company.

The Federal Reserve Board will not consider the amount of dividends waived by the mutual holding company

in determining an appropriate exchange ratio in the event of a full conversion to stock form.

Beginning with the dividend paid

in September 2012, First Federal MHC has annually sought member approval to obtain a waiver from the Federal Reserve Board to

waive the MHC’s dividends from the Company.

This effort has been successful each year, including an approval in 2020, which

will cover quarterly dividends of $0.10 per common share through May 2021.

It is expected that First Federal MHC will continue

to waive future dividends, except to the extent dividends are needed to fund First Federal MHC’s continuing operations,

subject to the ability of First Federal MHC to obtain regulatory approval of its requests to waive dividends and to its ability

to obtain member approval of dividend waivers.

First Federal MHC converts to stock form.

First Federal MHC was formed, engaged in a minority stock offering and waived dividends

prior to December 1, 2009.

The total number of shares held by stockholders other than First Federal MHC after a conversion transaction

of the conversion transaction.

Under the federal Change in Bank Control Act, a notice must be submitted to the Federal Reserve Board if any

person (including a company), or group acting in concert, seeks to acquire “control”

On June 8, 2017, the U.S.

House of Representatives passed the Financial CHOICE Act of 2017 (the “CHOICE Act”), which would amend, repeal, and

replace certain portions of Dodd-Frank Act.

The CHOICE Act contains a broad range of legislation that primarily affect larger banks.

It also contains a range of provisions that would facilitate capital raising by community banks in both mutual and stock form,

and simplify the regulation and examination of community banks and mutual holding companies.

Significant provisions of the CHOICE Act, as it relates to community

banks, include the following:

(i) a bank of any size that maintains a leverage capital ratio of at least 10% may elect to be regulated

as a “qualifying banking organization,”

and thereby would be exempt from laws and regulations that address capital

and liquidity requirements, capital distributions to stockholders, and the enhanced prudential standards of the Dodd-Frank Act

including mandatory stress testing, resolution plans and short-term debt and leverage limit requirements, as well as other laws

and regulations.

Qualifying banking organizations would also be considered “well capitalized”

for purposes of the prompt

corrective action rules, restrictions on brokered deposits, restrictions on interstate branching and merger transactions, and other

laws and regulations;

(ii) the small bank holding company exemption would be increased from $1.0 billion to $10.0 billion;

mutual and stock federal savings banks would be able to elect to exercise the same powers as national banks without converting

and (iv) the establishment of a safe-harbor from “ability to repay”

requirements for mortgage loans held

by a depository institution since their origination.

With respect to the Securities and Exchange Commission and corporate

governance compliance, the CHOICE Act reverses a number of changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act.

respect to the Securities and Exchange Commission and corporate governance compliance, the CHOICE Act reverses a number of changes

required by the Dodd-Frank Act.

These include:

prohibiting universal

proxy ballots in proxy contests;

modernizing stockholder proposal thresholds;

repealing the requirement that publicly traded companies

disclose the ratio of median employee versus CEO pay;

and increasing the exemption from complying with an outside auditor’s

attestation of a company’s internal financial controls to issuers with market capitalizations of up to $500 million.

Under the CHOICE Act, all federally-chartered mutual holding

companies would be permitted to waive the receipt of dividends from their mid-tier holding company or savings bank subsidiaries

without obtaining a member vote and without dilution to minority stockholders in the event the mutual holding company converts

to stock form at a future date.

Management believes that, if enacted, the CHOICE Act would provide

substantial benefits to community banks and their holding companies.

There can be no assurance, however, that the CHOICE Act or

any of its provisions will be enacted into law.

Federal and State Taxation

a description of the change in accounting method available through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Federal Taxation.

income tax laws apply to us in the same manner as to other corporations with some exceptions, including particularly the reserve

for bad debts discussed below.

The following discussion of tax matters is intended only as a summary and does not purport to be

a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to us.

Our federal income tax returns are subject to examination for years

2015 and later.

The corporate federal income tax rate reduction was effective January 1, 2018.

Since the Company has a fiscal year

end of June 30th, the reduced federal corporate income tax rate for fiscal year 2018 was the result of the application of a blended

federal statutory tax rate of 27.6%, which was based on the applicable tax rates before and after the Tax Act and corresponding

number of days in the fiscal year before and after enactment.

The federal statutory tax rate was 21% for the fiscal year ended

June 30, 2019.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts

and Jobs Act was enacted, which amended the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, reducing tax rates and modifying certain policies, credits,

and deductions for individuals and businesses.

Included in this legislation was a reduction of the federal corporate income tax

rate from 35% to 21%.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also added limitations on the deductibility of business interest expense.

this limitation should not impact the deductibility of the Company’s interest expense, the limitation could impact our commercial

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also includes changes to personal income taxes, including:

(i) a lower limit on the deductibility

of mortgage interest on single-family residential mortgages;

(ii) the elimination of interest deductions for home equity loans;

and (iii) a limitation on the deductibility of property taxes and state and local income taxes.

For fiscal years beginning before June 30, 1996, thrift

institutions that qualified under certain definitional tests and other conditions of the Internal Revenue Code were permitted to

use certain favorable provisions to calculate their deductions from taxable income for annual additions to their bad debt reserve.

A reserve could be established for bad debts on qualifying real property loans, generally secured by interests in real property

improved or to be improved, under the percentage of taxable income method or the experience method.

The reserve for nonqualifying

loans was computed using the experience method.

Federal legislation enacted in 1996 repealed the reserve method of accounting for

bad debts and the percentage of taxable income method for tax years beginning after 1995 and require savings institutions to recapture

or take into income certain portions of their accumulated bad debt reserves.

First Federal of Hazard did not qualify for such favorable

tax treatment for any years through 1996.

Approximately $5.2 million of First Federal of Kentucky First’s accumulated bad

debt reserves would not be recaptured into taxable income unless Frankfort First makes a “non-dividend distribution”

Our federal income tax returns are subject

to examination for years 2016 and later.

The federal statutory tax rate was 21% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted, which amended the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, reducing tax rates

and modifying certain policies, credits, and deductions for individuals and businesses.

Included in this legislation was a reduction

of the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also added limitations on the deductibility

of business interest expense.

While this limitation should not impact the deductibility of the Company’s interest expense,

the limitation could impact our commercial borrowers.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also includes changes to personal income taxes,

(i) a lower limit on the deductibility of mortgage interest on single-family residential mortgages;

(ii) the elimination

of interest deductions for home equity loans;

and (iii) a limitation on the deductibility of property taxes and state and local

income taxes.

First Federal of Hazard did not qualify for such favorable tax treatment for any years through 1996.

Approximately

$5.2 million of First Federal of Kentucky First’s accumulated bad debt reserves would not be recaptured into taxable income

unless Frankfort First makes a “non-dividend distribution”

to Kentucky First as described below.

If First Federal of Hazard or First Federal of Kentucky makes

“non-dividend distributions”

to us, the distributions will be considered to have been made from First Federal of Hazard’s

and First Federal of Kentucky’s unrecaptured tax bad debt reserves, including the balance of their reserves as of December 31,

1987, to the extent of the “non-dividend distributions,”

and then from First Federal of Kentucky’s supplemental

reserve for losses on loans, to the extent of those reserves, and an amount based on the amount distributed, but not more than

the amount of those reserves, will be included in First Federal of Kentucky’s taxable income.

Non-dividend distributions

include distributions in excess of First Federal of Kentucky’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated

for federal income tax purposes, distributions in redemption of stock, and distributions in partial or complete liquidation.

paid out of First Federal of Kentucky’s current or accumulated earnings and profits will not be so included in First Federal

of Kentucky’s taxable income.

The amount of additional taxable income triggered by a non-dividend

distribution is an amount that, when reduced by the tax attributable to the income, is equal to the amount of the distribution.

Therefore, if First Federal of Kentucky makes a non-dividend distribution to us, approximately one and one-half times the amount

of the distribution not in excess of the amount of the reserves would be includable in income for federal income tax purposes,

assuming a 21% federal corporate income tax rate.

First Federal of Kentucky does not intend to pay dividends in the future that

would result in a recapture of any portion of its bad debt reserves.

State Taxation.

Although First Federal MHC and

Kentucky First are subject to the Kentucky corporation income tax and state corporation license tax (franchise tax), the corporation

license tax is repealed effective for tax periods ending on or after December 31, 2005.

Gross income of corporations subject to

Kentucky income tax is similar to income reported for federal income tax purposes except that dividend income, among other income

items, is exempt from taxation.

For First Federal MHC and Kentucky First tax years beginning July 1, 2005, the corporations are

subject to an alternative minimum income tax.

Corporations must pay the greater of the income tax, the alternative tax or $175.

First Federal of Hazard or First Federal of Kentucky makes “non-dividend distributions”

to us, the distributions will

be considered to have been made from First Federal of Hazard’s and First Federal of Kentucky’s unrecaptured tax bad

debt reserves, including the balance of their reserves as of December 31, 1987, to the extent of the “non-dividend

and then from First Federal of Kentucky’s supplemental reserve for losses on loans, to the extent

of those reserves, and an amount based on the amount distributed, but not more than the amount of those reserves, will be included

in First Federal of Kentucky’s taxable income.

Non-dividend distributions include distributions in excess of First Federal

of Kentucky’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal income tax purposes, distributions

in redemption of stock, and distributions in partial or complete liquidation.

For First Federal MHC and Kentucky First tax years

beginning July 1, 2005, the corporations are subject to an alternative minimum income tax.

Corporations must pay the greater of

the income tax, the alternative tax or $175.

The corporations can choose between two methods to calculate the alternative minimum;

9.5 cents per $100 of the corporation’s

gross receipts, or 75 cents per $100 of the corporation’s Kentucky gross profits.

Kentucky gross profits means Kentucky gross

receipts reduced by returns and allowances attributable to Kentucky gross receipts, less Kentucky cost of goods sold.

The corporations,

in their capacity as holding companies for financial institutions, do not have a material amount of cost of goods sold.

Statutes 287.900, is allowed to deduct from its taxable capital, the book value of its investment in the stock or securities of

subsidiaries that are subject to the bank franchise tax.

First Federal of Hazard and First Federal

of Kentucky are exempt from both the Kentucky corporation income tax and corporation license tax.

However, both institutions are

instead subject to the Savings and loan tax, an annual tax imposed on federally or state chartered savings and loan associations,

savings banks and other similar institutions operating in Kentucky.

Taxable capital stock includes an institution’s undivided profits, surplus and general reserves plus savings accounts

and paid-up stock less deductible items.

Deductible items include certain exempt federal obligations and Kentucky municipal bonds.

Financial institutions which are subject to tax both within and without Kentucky must apportion their net capital.

On March 26, 2019, HB 354 was enacted which

sunsets the Savings and loan tax after 2021 and subjects financial institutions to the corporate income tax beginning January 1,

Effective January 1, 2021, the Savings and loan tax will no longer apply to financial institutions.
