NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q (as applicable to smaller reporting companies) and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations and other data for the three months ended March 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

The consolidated financial statements include Mutual Federal Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), and its wholly owned subsidiary Mutual Federal Savings and Loan Association of Chicago and its wholly owned subsidiary, EMEFES Service Corporation, together referred to as “the Bank.” Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. As of March 31, 2008, Mutual Federal Bancorp, MHC (the “MHC”) was the majority (72%) stockholder of the Company. The MHC is owned by the depositors of the Bank. The financial statements included in this Form 10-Q do not include the transactions and balances of the MHC. EMEFES Service Corporation is an insurance agency that sells insurance products to the Bank’s customers. The insurance products are underwritten and provided by a third party.

The Bank provides financial services through its office in Chicago. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage loans and loans on deposit accounts. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral, including one- to four-family and multifamily residential real estate, and deposit accounts. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one customer. However, the customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic conditions in the Chicagoland area.

Note 2 – Capital Resources

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material impact on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated for regulatory accounting purposes. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets and of tangible capital to average assets. As of March 31, 2008, the Bank met the capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. The Bank’s tangible capital ratio at March 31, 2008 was 33.14%. The Tier 1 capital ratio was 33.14%, the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 59.53%, and the total risk-based capital ratio was 60.40%.

The most recent notification from the federal banking agencies categorized the Bank as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios. There are no conditions or events since that notification that have changed the Bank’s category.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 3 – Commitments

At March 31, 2008, the Bank had outstanding commitments to make loans of $654,000. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had outstanding commitments to make loans of $205,000.

Note 4 – Fair Value Option and Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements . This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The impact of adoption was not material. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 . This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption was not material.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company has elected the fair value option for various mutual funds included in trading securities as of January 1, 2008. The impact of adoption is not material, as the Company recognized an impairment charge at December 31, 2007, resulting in the mutual funds being carried at fair value.

Note 5 – Fair Value

Fair Value Option

The Company has elected the fair value option for various mutual funds in order to make them more readily available for liquidity management. The mutual funds are the only assets being designated as trading assets. The Company’s investments in Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation common and preferred stock, and all debt securities, will continue to be held as available for sale, carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income.

Fair Value Measurement

Statement 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Statement 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) of identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

MUTUAL FEDERAL BANCORP, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 5 – Fair Value (continued)

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company determines the fair values of trading securities and securities available for sale by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

			Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2008 Using
		March 31, 2008		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Securities available-for-sale		13,027		578		12,449		—
	$	15,469	$	3,020	$	12,449	$	—

Dividend income earned on trading securities is reinvested and used to purchase additional shares. Changes in share price is recorded through the income statement as changes in fair value of trading securities. During the quarter, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $8,000 on changes in fair value of trading securities.

Note 6 – Employee Stock Ownership Plan

As of January 1, 2006, the Company adopted an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) for the benefit of substantially all employees. The ESOP borrowed $872,850 from the Company and used those funds to acquire 87,285 shares of the Company’s common stock on April 4, 2006, in connection with the Company’s minority stock offering, at a price of $10.00 per share.

Shares purchased by the ESOP with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account and are allocated to ESOP participants on a pro rata basis as principal and interest payments are made by the ESOP to the Company. The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and is being repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Company’s contributions to the ESOP and earnings on ESOP assets. The ESOP is making annual fixed principal payments of $44,000, plus interest at 7.0% on the unpaid loan balance.

As shares are released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares and the shares become outstanding for earnings-per-share (“EPS”) computations. Upon termination of their employment, participants in the ESOP who elect to receive their benefit distributions in the form of Company common stock may require the Company to purchase the common stock distributed at fair value. This contingent repurchase obligation is reflected in the Company’s financial statements as “Common stock in ESOP subject to contingent repurchase obligation” and reduces stockholders’ equity by an amount that represents the market value of all the Company’s common stock held by the ESOP and allocated to participants, without regard to whether it is likely that

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 6 – Employee Stock Ownership Plan (continued)

the shares would be distributed or that the recipients of the shares would be likely to exercise their right to require the Company to purchase the shares. At March 31, 2008, there were 11,761 ESOP shares allocated or committed to be allocated.

Note 7 – Stock Based Compensation

On January 16, 2007, the Company awarded 52,748 shares of common stock, with a fair value of $14.41 per share, to the Company’s officers and directors under its 2006 Management Recognition and Retention Plan. The Company also awarded 131,871 options to purchase the Company’s common stock at a strike price of $14.41 per share, to the Company’s officers and directors under its 2006 Stock Option Plan.

On March 18, 2008, the Company awarded 2,138 shares of common stock, with a fair value of $11.35 per share, to a director of the Company under its 2006 Management Recognition and Retention Plan. The Company also awarded to this director options to purchase 5,346 shares of the Company’s common stock at a strike price of $11.35 per share under its 2006 Stock Option Plan.

The awards vest over a five year period. Total compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, was $64,000 and $54,000, respectively. The total income tax benefits were estimated at $18,000 and $15,000.

Stock Option Plan

The Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan, which is shareholder-approved, permits the grant of stock options to its officers, directors and employees for up to an aggregate 178,206 shares of common stock. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Option awards are granted with an exercise price that is no less than the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, have vesting periods of five years, and have 10-year contractual terms. The Company anticipates purchasing shares to satisfy share option exercises.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Since the Company stock has only been trading since April 6, 2006, the Company has used the price volatility of similar entities to estimate volatility. The Company has no historical data on which to base forfeiture estimates, and has assumed no forfeitures. The expected term of options granted is based on the calculation for “plain vanilla options” permitted by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

The fair value of options granted during 2008 and 2007 were determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date:

	2008			2007
Risk-free interest rate		3.47	%		4.50	%
Expected term	6.50		years	6.50		years
Expected stock price volatility		13.51	%		9.40	%
Dividend yield		0.00	%		0.00	%

Note 8 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. Both basic and fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, are 3,452,408 and 3,554,868, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the average fair value of the Company’s common stock was less than the exercise price, and the stock option awards had no dilutive effect on earnings per share.

The factors used in the earnings per share computation for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, follow:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations .

General

This discussion and analysis reflects our consolidated financial statements and other relevant statistical data and is intended to enhance your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. You should read the information in this section in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, which are included in Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2008.

Forward-Looking Information

This report contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of such words as estimate, project, believe, intend, anticipate, plan, seek, expect and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include statements of our goals, intentions and expectations; statements regarding our business plans and prospects and growth and operating strategies; statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits. These forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks, assumptions and uncertainties, including, among other things, the following important factors that could affect the actual outcome of future events:

significantly increased competition among depository and other financial institutions;

our ability to enter new markets successfully and take advantage of growth opportunities;

our ability to successfully implement our business plan;

inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;

general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market area, that are worse than expected;

adverse changes in the securities markets;

deterioration in asset quality due to adverse changes in the residential real estate market;

legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business;

changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the PCAOB; and

changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

Overview

Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, U.S. government and agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and other interest earning assets (primarily cash and cash equivalents), and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of savings accounts, time deposits, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Our results of operations are also affected by our provisions for loan losses, non-interest income and non-interest expense. Non-interest income consists primarily of miscellaneous fees and charges on loan and deposit accounts, and changes in the fair value of trading securities. Non-interest expense currently consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, data processing, professional fees, and other operating expenses. Our results of operations also may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to our allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary to cover probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through a provision for loan losses that is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this policy as one of our most critical.

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. We consider a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be subject to significant change.

The analysis has two components: specific and general allocations. Specific allocations are made for loans that are determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses. The general allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan, risk weighting (if applicable) and payment history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general allowance for loan losses. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowances we have established which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007

Our total assets were approximately the same, with $73.0 million at March 31, 2008, and at December 31, 2007. Loans receivable decreased $780,000, or 1.5%, to $52.3 million at March 31, 2008, from $53.0 million at December 31, 2007, reflecting a decrease of $575,000, or 1.7%, in one-to-four family residential mortgage loans and a decrease of $186,000, or 1.0%, in multi-family residential mortgage loans during the period.

Total deposits increased $40,000, or 0.1%, to $39.8 million at March 31, 2008, from $39.7 million at December 31, 2007. Stockholders’ equity increased $106,000, to $27.0 million at March 31, 2008, from $26.9 million at December 31, 2007. The increase reflects net income of $15,000 for the quarter, a $35,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive income from net unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale, an $81,000 increase from recognition of stock benefits earned under the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan, Management Recognition and Retention Plan, and Stock Option Plan, offset by a $25,000 reclassification due to the commitment for release and change in fair value of common stock in the ESOP subject to the contingent repurchase obligation of ESOP shares.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007

General . Net income decreased $70,000, or 82.4%, to $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $85,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The primary reason for the decrease was a $73,000, or 9.5% decrease in net interest income, to $693,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $766,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The provision for losses on loans also increased, to $40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $10,000 in the first quarter of 2007.

Compensation and benefits increased $28,000, or 8.1%, to $373,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $345,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to normal salary increases and to a $10,000 increase in the amortization of stock awards and stock option expense. This was offset to a degree by a $13,000, or 10.0% decrease in professional fees, to $117,000 for the current period, from $130,000 for the same period last year.

The annualized return on average assets was 0.08% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to 0.45% for the same period last year, and the annualized return on equity was 0.22% and 1.20%, respectively, for these two periods.

Interest Income . Interest and dividend income decreased $60,000, or 5.5%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease resulted from the $2.1 million, or 2.9%, decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets, to $70.9 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $73.0 million in the first quarter of 2007, and to a decrease of 16 basis points in the average yield on interest earning assets, to 5.79% in 2008, from 5.95% in 2007. In addition, it is the Company’s policy to reserve all accrued interest on loans 90 days or more delinquent, which resulted in a $36,000 reduction in interest income on loans during the first quarter of 2008, compared to a $5,000 decrease during the first quarter of 2007.

Interest income and fees from loans receivable decreased $30,000, or 3.5%, to $823,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $853,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The primary reason was the increase in the reserve for uncollected interest. In addition, the decrease resulted from a $158,000, or 0.3%, decrease in the average balance of loans receivable, to $52.5 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $52.7 million in the first quarter of 2007, and from a decrease of 21basis points in the average yield on loans receivable, to 6.27% in 2008, from 6.48% in 2007.

Interest and dividend income from securities, FHLB stock, and interest-earning deposits decreased $30,000, or 12.8%, to $204,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $234,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The primary reason for the decrease was the decrease in average balances of securities, FHLB stock, and interest-earning deposits of $1.9 million, or 9.5%, to $18.4 million in 2008, from $20.4 million in 2007, and by a 17 basis point decrease in average yield to 4.43% in 2008, from 4.60% in 2007. In addition, the FHLB of Chicago has suspended its dividend, which amounted to $4,000 of income during the first quarter of 2007, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage

Corporation reduced the dividend on its common stock by one half, resulting in a reduction of $2,000 in dividend income from this source during the first quarter of 2008.

Interest Expense . Interest expense on deposits decreased $20,000, or 6.9%, to $272,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $292,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to a $3.5 million decrease in the average balance of interest bearing deposits. The average rate paid on deposits increased three basis points, to 2.77% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, from 2.74% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Interest expense on certificates of deposit decreased $15,000, or 6.5%, to $215,000 in 2008, from $230,000 in 2007, because of a $1.8 million decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposit, offset somewhat by an increase in the average rate paid on certificates of seven basis points, to 4.17% in 2008, from 4.10% in 2007.

Interest expense on FHLB advances increased $33,000, to $62,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $29,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The average balance of FHLB advances increased $3.4 million, to $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2008, from $2.2 million for the first quarter of 2007. The rate paid on advances decreased 89 basis points, to 4.42% in 2008, from 5.31% in 2007. The overall average cost of funds increased 12 basis points, to 2.98% in 2008, from 2.86% in 2007.

Net Interest Income . Net interest income decreased $73,000, or 9.5%, to $693,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $766,000 for the same quarter last year. Our net interest margin decreased 29 basis points, to 3.91% in 2008, from 4.20% in 2007. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 16 basis points, to 5.79% in 2008, from 5.95% in 2007, and a decrease of $2.1 million, or 2.9%, in the average balance of interest-earning assets, both contributed to interest income decreasing by $73,000. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased, to 2.98% in 2008, from 2.86% in 2007, and the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased $32,000, with interest expense increasing by $13,000. The interest rate spread between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities decreased 28 basis points, to 2.81% in 2008, from 3.09% in 2007.

Provision for Loan Losses . During the three months ended March 31, 2008, management made an additional $40,000 provision for losses on loans, based on its quarterly evaluation of the level of the allowance necessary to absorb probable incurred loan losses at March 31, 2008. Management considers changes in delinquencies, changes in the composition and volume of loans, historical loan loss experience, general economic and real estate market conditions, as well as peer group data, when determining the level on the allowance for loan losses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, non-performing (non-accrual) loans increased to $1.7 million, from $259,000 at December 31, 2007. Loans delinquent 60-89 days were $2.6 million at March 31, 2008, approximately the same as they were at December 31, 2007. The loan portfolio decreased $765,000, or 1.4%, to $52.3 million at March 31, 2008, from $53.0 million at December 31, 2007. During this period, one- to four-family residential mortgage loans decreased $575,000, or 1.7%, and multi-family residential mortgage loans decreased $186,000, or 1.0%. There were no loan charge-offs during the first quarters of 2008 or 2007. At March 31, 2008, the allowance for loan losses was $330,000, or 0.63% of loans receivable, compared to $290,000, or 0.54% of loans receivable at December 31, 2007. In a similar evaluation of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2007, management determined that there was a need for a $10,000 provision for the three months then ended.

Non-interest Income . Non-interest income decreased $6,000, to $3,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, compared to $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was due to an $8,000 fair value adjustment to various mutual funds carried as trading securities and accounted for under FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which was adopted for these mutual funds on January 1, 2008.

Non-interest Expense . Non-interest expense increased $13,000, or 2.1%, to $628,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $615,000 for the same quarter last year. Compensation and employee benefits increased $28,000, or 8.1%, to $373,000 in 2008, from $345,000 in 2007, primarily due to salary increases in the ordinary course of business and to a $10,000 increase in the amortization of stock grant and stock option expense.

Occupancy costs decreased $3,000, or 7.0%, to $40,000 in 2008, from $43,000 in 2007. Data processing fees decreased $2,000, or 7.1%, to $26,000, from $28,000 in 2007. Professional fees, including legal, accounting and consulting fees, decreased $13,000, or 10.0%, to $117,000 in 2008, from $130,000 in 2007. Miscellaneous expenses increased $3,000, or 4.4%, to $72,000 for the first quarter of 2008, from $69,000 for the first quarter of 2007.

The Company’s ratio of non-interest expense to average assets increased to 3.40% in the first quarter of 2008, from 3.27% in 2007, and its efficiency ratio was 89.2% in 2008, compared to 79.4% in 2007.

Income Tax Expense . The provision for income taxes decreased $52,000, to $13,000 in 2008, from $65,000 in 2007, largely due to the $122,000 decrease in pre-tax income to $28,000 in 2008, from $150,000 in 2007. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, increased to 46.4%, compared to 43.3% for this quarter last year. The increase in the effective rate was due primarily to nondeductible expenses associated with stock benefit plans.

Average Balance Sheet

The following table sets forth average balance sheets, average annualized yields and costs, and certain other information for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as their effects were not material. All average balances are based on an average of daily balances. Non-accrual loans are included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We maintain liquid assets at levels we consider adequate to meet our liquidity needs. We adjust our liquidity levels to fund deposit outflows, pay real estate taxes on mortgage loans, repay our borrowings and to fund loan commitments. We also adjust liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives.

Our primary sources of liquidity are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, and earnings and funds provided from operations.

While scheduled principal repayments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and rates offered by our competition. We set the interest rates on our deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.

A portion of our liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents, which are a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. At March 31, 2008, $3.7 million of our assets were invested in cash and cash equivalents. Our primary sources of cash are principal repayments on loans, proceeds from the calls and maturities of investment securities, increases in deposit accounts, and FHLB advances. Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, collected principal payments exceeded our originations by $740,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, net loan originations totaled $1.7 million. We do not sell loans. Cash received from principal repayments, calls and maturities of securities totaled $949,000 and $542,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We did not purchase or sell any securities during the three months ended March 31, 2008 or 2007.

Deposit flows are generally affected by the level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and by local competitors, and other factors. There was a net increase in total deposits of $40,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, and a net decrease of $492,000 in 2007.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, which provide an additional source of funds. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company borrowed $2.0 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and repaid $2.0 million within the quarter. Our available borrowing limit at March 31, 2008, was $12.2 million (an additional $7.2 million).

At March 31, 2008, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $654,000. At March 31, 2008, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $19.0 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In the event we do not retain a significant portion of our maturing certificates of deposit, we will have to utilize other funding sources, such as Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago advances, in order to maintain our level of assets. Alternatively, we would reduce our level of liquid assets, such as our cash and cash equivalents. In addition, the cost of such deposits may be significantly higher if market interest rates are higher at the time of renewal.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates

or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

At March 31, 2008, the we had outstanding commitments to make loans of $654,000. At December 31, 2007, the we had outstanding commitments to make loans of $205,000.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). GAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration for changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on performance than the effects of inflation.

Management of Market Risk

General . The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, which consist primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Our board of directors has approved a series of policies for evaluating interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities; for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives; and for managing this risk consistent with these policies. Senior management regularly monitors the level of interest rate risk and reports to the board of directors on our compliance with our asset/liability policies and on our interest rate risk position.

We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to control the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. During the low interest rate environment that has existed in recent years, we have managed our interest rate risk by maintaining a high equity-to-assets ratio and building and maintaining portfolios of shorter-term fixed rate residential loans and second mortgage loans. By maintaining a high equity-to-assets ratio, we believe that we are better positioned to absorb more interest rate risk in order to improve our net interest margin. However, maintaining high equity balances reduces our return on equity ratio, and investments in shorter-term assets generally bear lower yields than longer-term investments.

Net Portfolio Value . In past years, many savings institutions have measured interest rate sensitivity by computing the “gap” between the assets and liabilities that are expected to mature or reprice within certain time periods, based on assumptions regarding loan prepayment and deposit decay rates formerly provided by the OTS. However, the OTS now requires the computation of amounts by which the net present value of an institution’s cash flow from assets, liabilities and off balance sheet items (the institution’s net portfolio value or “NPV”) would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. The OTS provides all institutions that file a Consolidated Maturity/Rate Schedule as a part of their quarterly Thrift Financial Report with an interest rate sensitivity report of net portfolio value. The OTS simulation model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach to measuring the interest rate sensitivity of net portfolio value. Historically, the OTS model estimated the economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance sheet contract under the assumption that the United States Treasury yield curve increases or decreases instantaneously by 100 to 300 basis points in 100 basis point increments. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for

example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column below. The OTS provides us the results of the interest rate sensitivity model, which is based on information we provide to the OTS to estimate the sensitivity of our net portfolio value.

The table below sets forth, as of December 31, 2007, the latest date available, the estimated changes in our NPV and our net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

		NPV							Net Portfolio Value as a Percentage of Present Value of Assets
	Change In Interest Rates (Basis Points)		Estimated NPV		Amount of Change		Percentage Change			NPV Ratio		Change in Basis Points
(dollars in thousands)
	+300	$	20,793	$	(6,334	)	-23	%		29.90	%	-560	bp
	+200		23,010		(4,117	)	-15			31.99		-351
	+100		25,199		(1,928	)	-7			33.92		-158
	+50		26,215		(912	)	-3			34.77		-73
Unchanged			27,127		—		—			35.50		—
	-50		27,939		813		+3			36.13		+63
	-100		28,745		1,618		+6			36.74		+124
	-200		30,250		3,123		+12			37.82		+232

The table above indicates that at December 31, 2007, in the event of a 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 12% increase in net portfolio value. In the event of a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 15% decrease in net portfolio value.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurement. Modeling changes in net portfolio value requires making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the net portfolio value table presented assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the net portfolio value table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on net interest income and will differ from actual results.
