FFD Financial Corporation Reports Net Earnings for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2007
DOVER, Ohio, Oct. 30, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- FFD Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:FFDF), parent company of First Federal Community Bank of Dover, Ohio, reported net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2007, of $408,000, or per share diluted earnings of $.37, compared to net earnings of $442,000, or $.37 per diluted share, reported for the comparable three-month period in 2006. Diluted earnings per share remained constant period to period, despite the decrease in net earnings, as a result of the Corporation's stock repurchases, a longstanding capital management tool. The $34,000, or 7.7%, decrease in net earnings resulted from increases of $78,000, or 7.4%, in general, administrative and other expenses and $25,000, or 39.7%, in the provision for losses on loans and a decrease of $14,000, or 8.3%, in other income, and were partially offset by an increase of $65,000, or 4.0%, in net interest income and a decrease of $18,000, or 7.9%, in the provision for federal income taxes.
The increase in net interest income was primarily due to stable yields and increases in average balances of loans receivable and other interest-earning assets, which were partially offset by increases in the cost of new and repricing deposits during the period. The increase in general, administrative and other expense was due primarily to growth in the Corporation's operations year over year. The decrease in other income was the result of a $14,000 decrease in mortgage banking income from a continued soft residential mortgage market. The increase in the provision for losses on loans was due to a combination of loan portfolio growth, net charge-offs, and management's assessment of current economic conditions applied to the portfolio. The decrease in the provision for income taxes was due to decreased earnings before income taxes period to period.
FFD Financial Corporation reported total assets at September 30, 2007 of $173.3 million, total liabilities of $155.0 million, including deposits of $137.1 million, and shareholders' equity of $18.3 million.
FFD Financial Corporation is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol FFDF.

FFD Financial and First Federal Community Bank Announce Additional Expansion Plans and Coshocton Office Closing
DOVER, Ohio, Oct. 2, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- FFD Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:FFDF), parent company of First Federal Community Bank (the "Bank"), announced today that the Bank has acquired land on U.S. Route 62 in the village of Berlin, Holmes County, Ohio for the construction of a full-service branch office in Berlin. This new branch will represent the Bank's fifth full-service branch banking office and officially marks its expansion into Holmes County. The Bank recently (September 25, 2007) announced it had converted its Sugarcreek, Ohio, office to a full-service branch. As the Bank evaluated its opportunities in Sugarcreek and Holmes County, it came to the conclusion that closing the Coshocton, Ohio limited-service facility would allow it to better focus on growth in these areas. The Coshocton office will be closed on December 31, 2007.
"Our reception in Sugarcreek and Holmes County has been beyond our expectations," said Trent Troyer, President of FFD Financial and the Bank. "The general economy and business environment as well as the close proximity of our corporate office make Sugarcreek and Holmes County a better fit with our expansion plans. The closing of the Coshocton office helps us to better devote our resources to a market area that gives us greater growth potential. The Coshocton community has been good to us, however, and we hope to retain our customers by continuing to offer great personal service at our nearby locations."
Although formal drawings are not yet complete for the new Berlin office, the office will be architecturally consistent with the area and include both lobby and drive-thru teller capabilities, 24-hour ATM and night depository services, as well as other state of the art design features for customers.
