BUSINESS OF FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION ================================================================================ FFD Financial Corporation ("FFD" or the "Corporation") is the holding company for First Federal Community Bank ("First Federal" or the "Bank"), a federal savings bank. FFD was formed in 1996 in connection with the conversion of First Federal from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank (the "Conversion"). Since its formation, FFD's activities have been limited primarily to holding the common shares of First Federal. First Federal's business involves attracting deposits from individual and business customers and using such deposits to originate loans to individuals and businesses in its market area consisting of Tuscarawas and contiguous counties in Ohio. The Bank provides a full array of deposit products including checking, savings, money market, and individual retirement accounts as well as certificates of deposit. First Federal originates residential and home equity loans, construction loans, commercial real estate loans, business loans and consumer loans. The Bank also invests in securities consisting primarily of United States government and government agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities. Funds for lending and investing activities are obtained primarily from deposits, which are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), from Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances, and from loan sales and loan and mortgage-backed securities repayments. First Federal conducts business from three locations, two in Dover, Ohio and one in New Philadelphia, Ohio. Additionally, the Bank provides access to its products and services via the Internet at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. FFD is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision of the United States Department of the Treasury (the "OTS"). First Federal is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the OTS and the FDIC. First Federal is also a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati. 1 MARKET PRICE OF FFD'S COMMON SHARES AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS ================================================================================ There were 1,191,140 common shares of FFD outstanding on July 30, 2004, held of record by approximately 585 shareholders. Price information for FFD's common shares is quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "FFDF." The following table sets forth the high and low trading prices for the common shares of FFD, as quoted by Nasdaq, together with the dividends declared per share, for each quarter of fiscal years 2004 and 2003.

In addition to certain federal income tax considerations, OTS regulations impose limitations on the payment of dividends and other capital distributions by savings associations. Under OTS regulations applicable to converted savings associations, First Federal is not permitted to pay a cash dividend on its common shares if the regulatory capital of First Federal would, as a result of the payment of such dividend, be reduced below the amount required for the liquidation account established in connection with the Conversion or applicable regulatory capital requirements prescribed by the OTS. 2 SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND OTHER DATA ================================================================================ The following table sets forth certain information concerning the consolidated financial condition, earnings and other data regarding FFD at the dates and for the periods indicated.

As a result, the discussion that follows focuses on First Federal's financial condition and results of operations. The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of FFD and First Federal should be read in conjunction with and with reference to the consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, included in this Annual Report. CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION FROM JUNE 30, 2003 TO JUNE 30, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Corporation's assets at June 30, 2004, totaled $135.9 million, a $516,000, or 0.3%, decrease from the total at June 30, 2003. This decrease was comprised primarily of a $1.6 million decrease in loans held for sale, partially offset by a $1.0 million net increase in cash, interest-bearing deposits, mortgage backed securities and investment securities. Cash and interest-bearing deposits totaled $10.8 million at June 30, 2004, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 11.6%, from June 30, 2003. Investment securities totaled $4.4 million at June 30, 2004, an increase of $2.9 million. Maturities and calls of investment securities totaling $2.5 million were offset by purchases of $5.5 million of U. S. Government agency securities. Mortgage-backed securities totaled $1.0 million at June 30, 2004, a $458,000, or 30.9%, decrease from the total at June 30, 2003, due primarily to principal repayments. Repayments of mortgage-backed securities totaled $442,000. Loans receivable, including loans held for sale, totaled $114.5 million at June 30, 2004, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 1.3%, from the June 30, 2003 total. Loan disbursements during fiscal 2004 totaled $69.8 million, which were substantially offset by principal repayments of $41.6 million and loans sold in the secondary market totaling $29.8 million. Loan origination volume during the year ended June 30, 2004, decreased by $24.8 million, or 26.2%, compared to fiscal 2003. During fiscal 2004, management continued to meet consumer preference for fixed-rate loans in the prevailing low interest rate environment, by selling lower-yielding fixed-rate mortgage loans in the secondary market. The volume of loans sold during fiscal 2004 decreased by $14.4 million, or 32.6%, from fiscal 2003. As a result, the portfolio of loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate declined by $5.7 million to $57.0 million at June 30, 2004. Loans secured by nonresidential real estate and land totaled $35.0 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $28.5 million at June 30, 2003. Commercial loans totaled $15.4 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $19.5 million at June 30, 2003. Nonresidential real estate and commercial lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk than residential real estate lending due to the relatively larger loan amounts and the effects of general economic conditions on the successful operation of the related business or income-producing properties. The Bank has endeavored to reduce such risk by evaluating the credit history and past performance of the borrower, the quality of the borrowers' management, the debt service ratio, the quality and characteristics of the income stream generated by the business and the property and appraisals supporting the property's valuation, as applicable. The allowance for loan losses totaled $779,000 and $818,000 at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which represented .67% and .68% of total loans and 68.1% and 36.5% of nonperforming and impaired loans at those respective dates. Nonperforming and impaired loans amounted to $1.1 million and $2.2 million at June 5 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in the nonperforming and impaired loans is due to the results of individual loan impairment testing on certain commercial loans and improvement in the economy as of June 30, 2004, as well as payments received to pay off loans. Management believes that the Bank's nonperforming and impaired loans at June 30, 2004 are adequately collateralized and no unreserved loss is anticipated on such loans. Although management believes that the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2004, was adequate based upon the available facts and circumstances, there can be no assurance that additions to the allowance will not be necessary in future periods, which could adversely affect the Corporation's net earnings. Deposits totaled $105.4 million at June 30, 2004, a $1.1 million, or 1.0%, increase over total deposits at June 30, 2003. This increase resulted primarily from management's efforts to generate growth through advertising and pricing strategies. Proceeds from deposit growth were used primarily to fund new loan originations and to repay FHLB advances during the period. FHLB advances totaled $12.7 million at June 30, 2004, a $1.2 million, or 8.8%, decrease from June 30, 2003. The repayment of FHLB advances was funded primarily by the increase in deposits. Shareholders' equity totaled $16.7 million at June 30, 2004, a decrease of $180,000, or 1.1%, from June 30, 2003 levels, as net earnings of $687,000, a $115,000 reduction in the shares acquired by benefit plans, and $314,000 in proceeds from the exercise of stock options, were offset by dividends paid totaling $504,000 and purchases of treasury shares totaling $769,000. COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 AND 2003 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The consolidated net earnings of FFD depend primarily on its level of net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on FFD's interest-earning assets and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is substantially affected by FFD's interest rate spread, which is the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as by the average balance of interest-earning assets compared to interest-bearing liabilities. General. FFD's net earnings totaled $687,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $345,000, or 33.4%, compared to fiscal 2003. The decrease in net earnings resulted primarily from a $554,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans and a $290,000 increase in general administrative and other expense, which were partially offset by an $81,000 increase in net interest income, a $132,000 increase in other operating income, and a $180,000 decrease in the provision for federal income taxes. Net Interest Income. Total interest income decreased by $398,000, or 5.9%, to a total of $6.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2004, compared to $6.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. Interest income on loans decreased by $330,000, or 5.2%, due primarily to a 50 basis point decrease in the average yield, to 5.27% in fiscal 2004, which was offset slightly by a $4.2 million, or 3.8%, increase in the average loan portfolio balance outstanding year to year. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $41,000, or 41.4%, due primarily to a $1.0 million, or 44.8%, decrease in the average balance outstanding, partially offset by a 27 basis point increase in the average yield earned on such securities, to 4.63% in fiscal 2004. Interest income on investment securities increased by $23,000 due primarily to a 77 basis point increase in the average yield earned on such securities, to 3.94%, which was partially offset by a $88,000 decrease in the average balance outstanding. Interest income on interest-bearing deposits decreased by $50,000, or 28.2%, due primarily to a 33 basis point decrease in the average yield and a $862,000, or 7.1%, decrease in the average balance outstanding year to year. Decreases in the average yields on interest-earning assets were due primarily to the overall reduction in interest rates in the economy. 6 Interest expense on deposits decreased by $483,000 or 20.3%, for the year ended June 30, 2004, compared to fiscal 2003, due primarily to a decrease in the average cost of deposits of 65 basis points, to 1.81% for fiscal 2004, which was partially offset by a $8.0 million, or 8.2%, increase in the average deposit portfolio balance outstanding year to year. Decreases in the average cost of deposits were due primarily to the overall decline in interest rates in the economy. Interest expense on borrowings increased by $4,000, or 0.1%, due primarily to a 16 basis point increase in the average cost of such borrowings, to 4.03% in fiscal 2004 which was partially offset by a $478,000, or 3.2%, decrease in the average balance of advances outstanding, The Bank elected to prepay certain advances that could be prepaid without penalty, which were offset by additional borrowings for match funding purposes. Additional prepayments of the remaining higher cost advances are unlikely because of the significant penalties. As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest expense, net interest income increased by $81,000, or 2.1%, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, compared to fiscal 2003. The interest rate spread amounted to 2.79% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, compared to 2.62% for fiscal 2003, while the net interest margin was 2.97% in fiscal 2004, compared to 2.95% in fiscal 2003. Provision for Losses on Loans. A provision for losses on loans is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered appropriate by management based on historical loss experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by First Federal, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to First Federal's market area, and other factors related to the collectibility of First Federal's loan portfolio. The provision for losses on loans totaled $25,000 for the year ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $106,000, or 80.9%, compared to fiscal 2003. First Federal's fiscal 2004 provision was predicated primarily on industry loss ratio analysis applied to the loan portfolio in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 5 and SFAS No. 114. There can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance of First Federal will be adequate to cover losses on nonperforming assets in the future. Other Income. Other income totaled $616,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $422,000, or 40.7%, from fiscal 2003. The decrease resulted primarily from a $554,000, or 61.0%, decrease in gain on sale of loans and a $7,000 loss on sale of real estate owned, partially offset by an increase of $139,000 in other operating income. The decrease in gain on sale of loans was due primarily to a $14.4 million, or 32.6%, decrease in sales volume year to year. The increase in other operating income was due primarily to an increase in service fee income from loans sold of $55,000 and a $21,000 increase in fees on deposit accounts and transactions. As interest rates rise, the volume of loan sales and the amount of gain on sale of loans is likely to decline. General, Administrative and Other Expense. General, administrative and other expense totaled $3.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $290,000, or 9.3%, compared to fiscal 2003. The increase resulted primarily from a $285,000, or 22.8%, increase in employee compensation and benefits. The increase in employee compensation and benefits included increases of $131,000 in wages and related benefit expenses, $31,000 in employee stock ownership and stock option plans, and a $137,000 decrease in deferred loan origination costs, which were partially offset by a decrease of $26,000 in the cost of the reward and recognition and stock option restructure plans. The increase in wages and related expenses was due to increases in staff, salaries, and benefit plans. The increase in employee stock ownership and stock option plans was the result of improved average stock trading prices and increased administrative expense. The reduction in deferred loan origination costs was related to the reduction in the number of loans originated. The decrease in the cost of reward, recognition, and stock option restructure plans occurred because benefits have fully vested or have been forfeited. The remaining $5,000 increase in other operating expenses was comprised primarily of pro-rata increases related to the Corporation's overall growth year to year 7 Federal Income Taxes. The provision for federal income taxes totaled $354,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $180,000, or 33.7%, compared to fiscal 2003. The decrease resulted primarily from a $525,000, or 33.5%, decrease in earnings before taxes. The effective tax rates were 34.0% and 34.1% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General. FFD's net earnings totaled $1.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $81,000, or 7.3%, compared to fiscal 2002. The decrease in net earnings resulted primarily from a $320,000 decrease in net interest income and a $321,000 increase in general administrative and other expense, which were partially offset by a $502,000 increase in other income and a $39,000 decrease in the provision for federal income taxes. Net Interest Income. Total interest income decreased by $1.2 million, or 15.6%, to a total of $6.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2003, compared to $8.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. Interest income on loans decreased by $1.0 million, or 13.9%, due primarily to a 101 basis point decrease in the average yield, to 5.77% in fiscal 2003, which was offset slightly by a $1.2 million, or 1.1%, increase in the average loan portfolio balance outstanding year to year. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $289,000, or 74.5%, due primarily to a $5.1 million, or 69.4%, decrease in the average balance outstanding, and an 87 basis point decrease in the average yield earned on such securities, to 4.36% in fiscal 2003. Interest income on investment securities increased by $95,000 due primarily to a $3.0 million increase in the average balance outstanding, which was partially offset by a 40 basis point decrease in the average yield year to year. Interest income on interest-bearing deposits decreased by $20,000, or 10.2%, due primarily to a 42 basis point decrease in the average yield, which was partially offset by a $1.7 million, or 15.7%, increase in the average balance outstanding year to year. Decreases in the average yields on interest-earning assets were due primarily to the overall reduction in interest rates in the economy. Interest expense on deposits decreased by $736,000 or 23.6%, for the year ended June 30, 2003, compared to fiscal 2002, due primarily to a decrease in the average cost of deposits of 88 basis points, to 2.46% for fiscal 2003, which was partially offset by a $3.6 million, or 3.8%, increase in the average deposit portfolio balance outstanding year to year. Decreases in the average cost of deposits were due primarily to the overall decline in interest rates in the economy. Interest expense on borrowings decreased by $191,000, or 24.6%, due primarily to a $5.5 million, or 26.7%, decrease in the average balance of advances outstanding, which was partially offset by a 10 basis point increase in the average cost of such borrowings, to 3.87% in fiscal 2003. The Bank elected to prepay certain advances that could be prepaid without penalty. Additional prepayments of the remaining higher cost advances are unlikely because of the significant penalties. As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest expense, net interest income decreased by $320,000, or 7.8%, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, compared to fiscal 2002. The interest rate spread amounted to 2.62% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, compared to 2.85% for fiscal 2002, while the net interest margin was 2.95% in fiscal 2003, compared to 3.22% in fiscal 2002. Provision for Losses on Loans. A provision for losses on loans is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered appropriate by management based on historical loss experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by First Federal, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to First Federal's market area, and other factors related to the collectibility of First Federal's loan portfolio. The provision for losses on loans totaled $131,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $19,000, or 12.7%, compared 8 to fiscal 2002. First Federal's fiscal 2003 provision was predicated primarily on the growth in the commercial and nonresidential loan portfolios and the increase in nonperforming loans. There can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance of First Federal will be adequate to cover losses on nonperforming assets in the future. Other Income. Other income totaled $1.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $502,000, or 93.7%, over fiscal 2002. The increase resulted primarily from a $688,000, or 312.7%, increase in gain on sale of loans, partially offset by decreases of $119,000, or 47.8%, in other operating income and the absence of $67,000 in gain on sale of mortgage-backed securities. The increase in gain on sale of loans was due primarily to a $25.0 million, or 129.9%, increase in sales volume year to year. The decrease in other operating income was due primarily to an increase in amortization of mortgage servicing rights of $135,000 and a $61,000 impairment charge recorded on the mortgage servicing rights asset based upon a fair value analysis of this asset. These charges were partially offset by an increase of $85,000 in fees on deposit accounts and transactions. As interest rates rise, the volume of loan sales and the amount of gain on sale of loans is likely to decline. General, Administrative and Other Expense. General, administrative and other expense totaled $3.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $321,000, or 11.4%, compared to fiscal 2002. The increase resulted primarily from a $226,000, or 28.0%, increase in other operating expense, a $102,000, or 35.8%, increase in occupancy and equipment, and $41,000, or 27.3%, increase in franchise taxes, which were partially offset by a $51,000, or 15.9%, decrease in data processing. The increase in other operating expenses included increases of $45,000 in check printing charges, and $35,000 in NOW account expense, primarily related to the Bank's growth in deposits and home equity loans, costs incurred in connection with the opening of the new Boulevard office, including increases of $39,000 in advertising expense, $27,000 in stationery and office supplies and $14,000 in legal fees. The remaining $66,000 increase in other operating expense was comprised primarily of pro-rata increases related to the Corporation's overall growth year to year. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense was due primarily to an increase in depreciation expense related to the new office that opened in July of 2002. The increase in franchise taxes was due to the effect of refunds received in fiscal 2002. The decrease in data processing fees resulted from nonrecurring costs associated with the data conversion in fiscal 2002. Federal Income Taxes. The provision for federal income taxes totaled $534,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $39,000, or 6.8%, compared to fiscal 2002. The decrease resulted primarily from a $120,000, or 7.1%, decrease in earnings before taxes. The effective tax rates were 34.1% and 34.0% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. 9 AVERAGE BALANCE, YIELD, RATE AND VOLUME DATA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following table sets forth certain information relating to FFD's average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average monthly balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Average balances are derived from month-end balances, which include nonaccruing loans in the loan portfolio, net of the allowance for loan losses.

As part of its effort to monitor and manage interest rate risk, First Federal uses the "net interest income" ("NII") and "net portfolio value" ("NPV") methodologies. Generally, NPV is the discounted present value of the difference between incoming cash flows on interest-earning and other assets and outgoing cash flows on interest-bearing and other liabilities. Interest rate risk is estimated as the percent and dollar changes in NII and NPV projected to occur should the yield curve instantaneously shift up or down in a parallel fashion from its beginning or base position. The base case rate scenario is defined by the rate environment and is held constant throughout the simulation. Rate shock scenarios are derived by adding to or subtracting from base case rates. Presented below, as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, is an analysis of First Federal's interest rate risk as measured by changes in NII and NPV for instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts of +100, +200, +300 and -100 basis points in market interest rates. In consideration of the interest rate environment and the improbability of negative rate adjustments greater than 100 basis points, shocks greater than negative 100 basis points are not presented.

For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayment on loans and mortgage-backed securities and early withdrawal levels from certificates of deposit would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in making the risk calculations. 12 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First Federal's principal sources of funds are deposits, proceeds from loan sales, loan and mortgage-backed securities repayments, maturities of securities and other funds provided by operations. First Federal also has the ability to borrow from the FHLB of Cincinnati. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows, loan sales and loan and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. First Federal maintains investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (i) the need for funds, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) the yields available on short-term liquid assets and (iv) the objectives of the asset/liability management program. At June 30, 2004, First Federal had commitments to originate loans, including unused lines of credit, totaling $26.5 million. Management anticipates that such loan commitments will be funded from normal cash flows from operations and existing excess liquidity. Cash and cash equivalents, which is a component of liquidity, is a result of the funds used in or provided by First Federal's operating, investing and financing activities. These activities are summarized below for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002: Year ended June 30, 2004 2003 2002 (In thousands) Net earnings $ 687 $ 1,032 $ 1,113 Adjustments to reconcile net earnings to net cash from operating activities 1,621 (395) 42 -------- -------- -------- Net cash from operating activities 2,308 637 1,155 Net cash from investing activities (2,645) (5,956) 6,707 Net cash from financing activities (1,086) 4,346 (3,986) -------- -------- -------- Net change in cash and cash equivalents (1,423) (973) 3,876 Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of year 12,243 13,216 9,340 -------- -------- -------- Cash and cash equivalents at end of year $ 10,820 $ 12,243 $ 13,216 ======== ======== ======== 13 The following table sets forth information regarding the Bank's obligations and commitments to make future payments under contract as of June 30, 2004: Payments due by period Less More than 1-3 years 3-5 years than 1 year years years 5 years Total (In thousands) Contractual obligations: Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank $ 277 $ 850 $ 7,991 $3,551 $12,669 Certificates of deposit 7 20,899 1,501 -- 48,227 Amount of commitments expiration per period Commitments to originate loans: Overdraft lines of credit 157 -- -- -- 157 Home equity lines of credit 10,457 -- -- -- 10,457 Commercial lines of credit 12,456 12,456 One- to four-family and multi-family loans 1,733 -- -- -- 1,733 Non-residential real estate and land loans 1,413 -- -- -- 1,413 Non mortgage loans 275 -- -- -- 275 ------- ------- ------- ------ ------- Total contractual obligations $52,594 $20,013 $10,762 $4,018 $87,387 ======= ======= ======= ====== ======= First Federal, a savings association, is required by applicable law and regulation to meet certain minimum capital standards, which include a tangible capital requirement, a core capital requirement or leverage ratio, and a risk-based capital requirement. The tangible capital requirement requires a savings institution to maintain "tangible capital" of not less than 1.5% of the institution's adjusted total assets. Tangible capital is defined in OTS regulations as core capital minus any intangible assets. "Core capital" is comprised of common shareholders' equity (including retained earnings), noncumulative preferred stock and related surplus, minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, certain nonwithdrawable accounts and pledged deposits of mutual associations. OTS regulations generally require savings institutions to maintain core capital of at least 4% of the institution's total assets, except for those institutions with the highest examination rating and acceptable levels of risk. OTS regulations require that savings institutions maintain "risk-based capital" in an amount not less than 8% of risk-weighted assets. Risk-based capital is defined as core capital plus certain additional items of capital, which for First Federal includes a general and specific loan loss allowance of 779,000 at June 30, 2004. First Federal exceeded all of its capital requirements and met the definition of "well-capitalized" under OTS regulations at June 30, 2004. The following table summarizes First Federal's regulatory capital requirements and regulatory capital at June 30, 2004: Excess over current Regulatory capital Current requirement requirement Amount Percent Amount Percent Amount Percent (Dollars in thousands) Tangible capital $15,883 11.70% $2,034 1.50% $13,849 10.20% Core capital 15,883 11.70% 5,425 4.00% 10,458 7.70% Risk-based capital 16,314 17.40% 7,515 8.00% 8,799 9.40% 14 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Board of Directors FFD Financial Corporation We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of FFD Financial Corporation as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FFD Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") is a savings and loan holding company whose activities are primarily limited to holding the stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Federal Community Bank (the "Bank"). The Bank conducts a general banking business in north central Ohio which consists of attracting deposits from the general public and applying those funds to the origination of loans for residential, consumer and nonresidential purposes. The Bank's profitability is significantly dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income generated from interest-earning assets (i.e. loans and investments) and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities (i.e. customer deposits and borrowed funds). Net interest income is affected by the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest received or paid on these balances. The level of interest rates paid or received by the Bank can be significantly influenced by a number of environmental factors, such as governmental monetary policy, that are outside of management's control. The consolidated financial information presented herein has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U. S. GAAP") and general accounting practices within the financial services industry. In preparing consolidated financial statements in accordance with U. S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates. A summary of significant accounting policies which have been consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows: 1. Principles of Consolidation --------------------------- The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation, the Bank, and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Dover Service Corporation ("Dover"). At June 30, 2004 and 2003, Dover's principal assets consisted of an investment in the stock of the Bank's data processor and a deposit account in the Bank. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 2. Investment Securities and Mortgage-backed Securities ---------------------------------------------------- The Corporation accounts for investment and mortgage-backed securities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS No. 115 requires that investments be categorized as held-to-maturity, trading, or available for sale. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at cost only if the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. Trading securities and securities designated as available for sale are carried at fair value with resulting unrealized gains or losses recorded to operations or shareholders' equity, respectively. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized using the specific identification method. 22 FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 3. Loans Receivable ---------------- Loans are stated at the principal balance outstanding, reduced by deferred loan origination fees and the allowance for loan losses. Interest is accrued as earned unless the collectibility of the loan is in doubt. Interest on loans that are contractually past due is charged off, or an allowance is established based on management's periodic evaluation. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued, and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received until, in management's judgment, the borrower's ability to make periodic interest and principal payments has returned to normal, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status. If the ultimate collectibility of the loan is in doubt, in whole or in part, all payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to reduce principal until such doubt is eliminated. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market, determined in the aggregate. In computing cost, deferred loan origination fees are deducted from the principal balance of the related loan. At June 30, 2004 and 2003, loans held for sale were carried at cost. The Bank retains the servicing on loans sold and agrees to remit to the investor loan principal and interest at agreed-upon rates. The Bank recognizes rights to service mortgage loans for others pursuant to SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." In accordance with SFAS No. 140, an institution that acquires mortgage servicing rights through either the purchase or origination of mortgage loans and sells those loans with servicing rights retained must allocate some of the cost of the loans to the mortgage servicing rights. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights and capitalized excess servicing receivables are required to be assessed for impairment. Impairment is measured based on fair value. The mortgage servicing rights recorded by the Bank were segregated into pools for valuation purposes, using as pooling criteria the loan term and coupon rate. Once pooled, each grouping of loans was evaluated on a discounted earnings basis to determine the present value of future earnings that a purchaser could expect to realize from each portfolio. Earnings were projected from a variety of sources including loan servicing fees, interest earned on float, net interest earned on escrows, miscellaneous income, and costs to service the loans. The present value of future earnings is the "economic" value for the pool, i.e., the net realizable present value to an acquirer of the acquired servicing. The Bank recorded amortization related to mortgage servicing rights totaling approximately $175,000, $174,000 and $39,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Additionally, the Bank recovered previously recorded impairment charges on mortgage servicing rights totaling $13,000 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. At June 30, 2004, the carrying value of the Corporation's mortgage servicing rights, which approximated fair value was $633,000. At June 30, 2003, the carrying value of the Corporation's mortgage servicing rights, which approximated fair value was $517,000. 23 FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 4. Loan Origination Fees --------------------- The Bank accounts for loan origination fees in accordance with SFAS No. 91 "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases." Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 91, origination fees received from loans, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and amortized to interest income using the level-yield method, giving effect to actual loan prepayments. Additionally, SFAS No. 91 generally limits the definition of loan origination costs to the direct costs attributable to originating a loan, i.e., principally actual personnel costs. Fees received for loan commitments that are expected to be drawn upon, based on the Bank's experience with similar commitments, are deferred and amortized over the life of the loan using the level-yield method. Fees for other loan commitments are deferred and amortized over the loan commitment period on a straight-line basis. 5. Allowance for Loan Losses ------------------------- It is the Bank's policy to provide valuation allowances for estimated losses on loans based on past loan loss experience, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, trends in the level of delinquent and problem loans, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and current and anticipated economic conditions in the primary lending area. When the collection of a loan becomes doubtful, or otherwise troubled, the Bank records a charge-off equal to the difference between the fair value of the property securing the loan and the loan's carrying value. Major loans and major lending areas are reviewed periodically to determine potential problems at an early date. The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to earnings and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). The Bank accounts for impaired loans in accordance with SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which requires that impaired loans be measured based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, as an alternative, at the loan's observable market price or fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is defined under SFAS No. 114 as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In applying the provisions of SFAS No. 114, the Bank considers its investment in one- to four-family residential loans and consumer installment loans to be homogeneous and therefore excluded from separate identification for evaluation of impairment. With respect to the Bank's investment in nonresidential, commercial and multi-family residential real estate loans, and its evaluation of impairment thereof, such loans are generally collateral-dependent and, as a result, are carried as a practical expedient at the lower of cost or fair value. Collateral-dependent loans which are more than ninety days delinquent are considered to constitute more than a minimum delay in repayment and are evaluated for impairment under SFAS No. 114 at that time. 24 FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 5. Allowance for Loan Losses (continued) ------------------------- The Bank's impaired loan information is as follows at June 30: 2004 2003 (In thousands) Impaired loans with related allowance $774 $2,244 Impaired loans with no related allowance -- -- ---- ------ Total impaired loans $774 $2,244 ==== ====== The Bank's average balance of impaired loans was $929,000 in fiscal 2004. Interest income recognized on impaired loans totaled $49,000 and $100,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Bank allocated $348,000 of its general valuation allowance to the impaired loans at June 30, 2004. 6. Real Estate Acquired through Foreclosure ---------------------------------------- Real estate acquired through foreclosure is carried at the lower of the loan's unpaid principal balance (cost) or fair value less estimated selling expenses at the date of acquisition. Real estate loss provisions are recorded if the properties' fair value subsequently declines below the value determined at the recording date. In determining the lower of cost or fair value at acquisition, costs relating to development and improvement of property are capitalized. Costs relating to holding real estate acquired through foreclosure, net of rental income, are charged against earnings as incurred. 7. Office Premises and Equipment ----------------------------- Office premises and equipment are carried at cost and include expenditures which extend the useful lives of existing assets. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. For financial reporting, depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets, estimated to be between twenty and thirty years for buildings, ten to thirty years for building improvements and five to ten years for furniture and equipment. An accelerated method is used for tax reporting purposes. 8. Federal Income Taxes -------------------- The Corporation accounts for federal income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." In accordance with SFAS No. 109, a deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset is computed by applying the current statutory tax rates to net taxable or deductible temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements that will result in net taxable or deductible amounts in future periods. Deferred tax assets are recorded only to the extent that the amount of net deductible temporary differences or carryforward attributes may be utilized against current period earnings, carried back against prior years' earnings, offset against taxable temporary differences reversing in future periods, or utilized to the extent of management's estimate of future taxable income. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets to the extent that the value of net 25 FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 8. Federal Income Taxes (continued) -------------------- deductible temporary differences and carryforward attributes exceeds management's estimates of taxes payable on future taxable income. Deferred tax liabilities are provided on the total amount of net temporary differences taxable in the future. The Corporation's principal temporary differences between pretax financial income and taxable income result primarily from the different methods of accounting for deferred loan origination fees, Federal Home Loan Bank stock dividends, mortgage servicing rights, general loan loss allowances, percentage of earnings bad debt deductions and certain components of retirement expense. A temporary difference is also recognized for depreciation expense computed using accelerated methods for federal income tax purposes. 9. Benefit Plans ------------- The Corporation has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), which provides retirement benefits for substantially all employees who have completed one year of service and have attained the age of 21. The Corporation accounts for the ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans." SOP 93-6 requires the measure of compensation expense recorded by employers to equal the fair value of ESOP shares allocated to participants during a fiscal year. Expense recognized related to the ESOP totaled approximately $191,000, $167,000 and $155,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Additionally, during fiscal 1997, the Bank adopted a Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP"). The Bank funded the RRP through the purchase of 40,600 shares of the Corporation's common stock in the open market. The Bank has awarded 30,871 shares under the RRP which vest over a five year period. A provision of $7,000, $10,000 and $32,000 related to the RRP was charged to expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. 10. Earnings Per Share ------------------ Basic earnings per share is computed based upon weighted-average common shares outstanding less shares in the ESOP which are unallocated and not committed to be released. Weighted-average shares outstanding gives effect to a reduction for 39,513, 52,687 and 65,861 unallocated shares held by the ESOP for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Diluted earnings per share is computed taking into consideration common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares to be issued under the Corporation's stock option plan. The computations are as follows: 2004 2003 2002 Weighted-average common shares outstanding (basic) 1,162,085 1,167,450 1,183,697 Dilutive effect of assumed exercise of stock options 29,016 27,290 22,862 --------- --------- --------- Weighted-average common shares outstanding (diluted) 1,191,101 1,194,740 1,206,559 ========= ========= ========= 26 FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 11. Stock Option Plan ----------------- The FFD Financial Corporation 1996 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Plan") provides for the issuance of 169,838 adjusted shares of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. The Corporation accounts for the Plan in accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which contains a fair value-based method for valuing stock-based compensation that entities may use, which measures compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Compensation is then recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 permits entities to continue to account for stock options and similar equity instruments under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Entities that continue to account for stock options using APB Opinion No. 25 are required to make pro forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share, as if the fair value-based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. During fiscal 2001, the Corporation canceled and reissued grants of stock options to certain option grant holders. The Corporation recorded expense related to these grants totaling $3,000, $26,000 and $24,000 in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Corporation applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its Plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized with respect to original grants of shares under the Plan. Had compensation cost for the Plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant date in a manner consistent with the accounting method utilized in SFAS No. 123, then the Corporation's consolidated net earnings and earnings per share for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below: 2004 2003 2002 Net earnings (In thousands) As reported $687 $1,032 $1,113 ==== ====== ====== Pro-forma $654 $1,021 $1,095 ==== ====== ====== Earnings per share Basic As reported $.59 $ .88 $ .94 ==== ====== ====== Pro-forma $.56 $ .87 $ .92 ==== ====== ====== Diluted As reported $.58 $ .86 $ .92 ==== ====== ====== Pro-forma $.55 $ .85 $ .90 ==== ====== ====== 27 FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 11. Stock Option Plan (continued) ----------------------------- The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the modified Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002: dividend yield of 3.0%, 2.8% and 3.5%; expected volatility of 38.2%, 31.6% and 36.7%; a risk-free interest rate of 4.3%, 4.1% and 3.0%, respectively, and an expected life of ten years for all grants. A summary of the status of the Corporation's stock option plan as of June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, and changes during the years then ended are presented below: 2004 2003 2002 Weighted- Weighted- Weighted- average average average exercise exercise exercise Shares price Shares price Shares price Outstanding at beginning of year 115,183 $ 9.47 104,385 $ 9.25 108,563 $ 9.22 Granted 4,500 14.87 14,920 10.94 2,000 12.00 Exercised (28,365) 9.15 (4,122) 9.17 (5,578) 9.14 Forfeited (1,320) 9.54 -- -- (600) 14.59 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Outstanding at end of year 89,998 $ 9.84 115,183 $ 9.47 104,385 $ 9.25 ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== Options exercisable at year-end 68,755 $ 9.33 91,809 $ 9.22 90,604 $ 9.21 ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year $ 4.36 $ 3.92 $ 3.59 ======== ======== ======== The following information applies to options outstanding at June 30, 2004: Number outstanding 74,721 Range of exercise prices $8.38 - $10.10 Number outstanding 15,277 Range of exercise prices $11.17 - $14.88 Weighted-average exercise price $9.84 Weighted-average remaining contractual life in years 4.4 years 12. Cash and Cash Equivalents ------------------------- For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions with original terms to maturity of less than ninety days. 28 FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments ----------------------------------- SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, whether or not recognized in the consolidated statement of financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For financial instruments where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value and other valuation methods. The methods used are greatly affected by the assumptions applied, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Therefore, the fair values presented may not represent amounts that could be realized in an exchange for certain financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments at June 30, 2004 and 2003: Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts presented in the consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents are deemed to approximate fair value. Investment and mortgage-backed securities: For investment and mortgage-backed securities, fair value is deemed to equal the quoted market price. Loans receivable: The loan portfolio has been segregated into categories with similar characteristics, such as one- to four-family residential, multi-family residential and nonresidential real estate. These loan categories were further delineated into fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans. The fair values for the resultant loan categories were computed via discounted cash flow analysis, using current interest rates offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. For loans on deposit accounts and consumer and other loans, fair values were deemed to equal the historic carrying values. The historical carrying amount of accrued interest on loans is deemed to approximate fair value. Federal Home Loan Bank stock: The carrying amount presented in the consolidated statements of financial condition is deemed to approximate fair value. Deposits: The fair value of NOW accounts, passbook accounts, and money market deposits is deemed to approximate the amount payable on demand. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit have been estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation using the interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank: The fair value of these advances is estimated using the rates currently offered for similar advances of similar remaining maturities or, when available, quoted market prices. Commitments to extend credit: For fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loan commitments, the fair value estimate considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and committed rates. The difference between the fair value and notional amount of outstanding loan commitments at June 30, 2004 and 2003 was not material. 29 FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued) ----------------------------------- Based on the foregoing methods and assumptions, the carrying value and fair value of the Corporation's financial instruments at June 30, 2004 and 2003 are as follows: 2004 2003 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair value value value value (In thousands) Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 10,820 $ 10,820 $ 12,243 $ 12,243 Investment securities 4,402 4,402 1,502 1,502 Mortgage-backed securities 1,025 1,041 1,483 1,519 Loans receivable 114,505 110,976 115,966 111,147 Federal Home Loan Bank stock 2,047 2,047 1,967 1,967 -------- -------- -------- -------- $132,799 $129,286 $133,161 $128,378 ======== ======== ======== ======== Financial liabilities Deposits $105,446 $101,271 $104,351 $102,609 Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank 12,669 13,242 13,891 14,298 -------- -------- -------- -------- $118,115 $114,513 $118,242 $116,907 ======== ======== ======== ======== 14. Advertising ----------- Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. The Corporation's advertising expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 totaled $99,000, $140,000 and $101,000, respectively. 15. Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements ------------------------------------------- In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued EITF 03-01 "The Meaning of Other-than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments." EITF 03-01 requires that unrealized losses on investment securities that are deemed other-than-temporary be recorded as an adjustment to operations. The Statement applies both to securities designated as held to maturity and those designated as available for sale. EITF 03-01 provides that unrealized losses may be viewed as other-than-temporary as a result not only due to deterioration of the credit quality of the issuer, but due to changes in the interest rate environment as well. An investor must be able to demonstrate the positive ability and intent to hold such securities until a forecasted recovery takes place or until maturity of the security. EITF 03-01 requires separate disclosure related to unrealized losses for securities that have been in an unrealized loss position for a period of less than twelve months and for those that have been in an unrealized loss position for a period greater than twelve months, for financial statements issued for years ending after December 15, 2003. The loss recognition provisions of other-than-temporary losses under EITF 03-01 are effective September 30, 2004. It is management's belief that, given the Corporation's liquidity position, and assuming no credit quality concerns, EITF 03-01 will have no material effect on the Corporation's financial statements. 30 FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 15. Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued) ------------------------------------------- In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued a proposed Statement, "Share-Based Payment," that addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The proposed Statement would eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions, including stock option grants, using APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and generally would require instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. Issuance of the final standards and adoption by the Corporation would be expected to result in recognition of compensation expense for the effect of stock option grants in future periods. 16. Reclassifications ----------------- Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 consolidated financial statement presentation. NOTE B - INVESTMENTS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and estimated fair values of investment securities at June 30, 2004 and 2003, are as follows: June 30, 2004 Gross Gross Estimated Amortized unrealized unrealized fair cost gains losses value (In thousands) Available for sale: U.S. Government agency obligations $4,499 $ -- $ (97) $4,402 ====== ===== ===== ====== June 30, 2003 Gross Gross Estimated Amortized unrealized unrealized fair cost gains losses value (In thousands) Available for sale: U.S. Government agency obligations $1,501 $ 1 $ -- $1,502 ====== ===== ===== ====== The U.

Generally, such loans have been underwritten on the basis of no more than an 80% loan-to-value ratio, which has historically provided the Bank with adequate collateral coverage in the event of default. Nevertheless, the Bank, as with any lending institution, is subject to the risk that real estate values could deteriorate in its primary lending area of north central Ohio, thereby impairing collateral values. However, management is of the belief that real estate values in the Bank's primary lending area are presently stable. As discussed previously, the Bank has sold whole loans and participating interests in loans in the secondary market, generally retaining servicing on the loans sold. Loans sold and serviced for others totaled approximately $73.0 million and $58.9 million at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has made loans to some of its directors and officers and their related business interests. In the opinion of management, such loans are consistent with sound lending practices and are within applicable regulatory lending limitations.

If the amounts that qualified as deductions for federal income taxes are later used for purposes other than bad debt losses, including distributions in liquidation, such distributions will be subject to federal income taxes at the then current corporate income tax rate. Retained earnings at June 30, 2004, include approximately $1.7 million for which federal income taxes have not been provided. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability relating to the cumulative bad debt deduction was approximately $550,000 at June 30, 2004. The Bank was required to recapture as taxable income approximately $281,000 of its tax bad debt reserve, which represents the post-1987 additions to the reserve, and will be unable to utilize the percentage of earnings method to compute its bad debt deduction in the future. The Bank has provided deferred taxes for this amount and began to amortize the recapture of the bad debt reserve into taxable income over a six year period finalized in fiscal 2004. 38 FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 NOTE I - LOAN COMMITMENTS The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers, including commitments to extend credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statement of financial condition. The contract or notional amounts of the commitments reflect the extent of the Bank's involvement in such financial instruments. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as those utilized for on-balance-sheet instruments. At June 30, 2004, the Bank had outstanding commitments of approximately $3.5 million to originate loans. Additionally, the Bank was obligated under unused lines of credit under home equity loans totaling $10.5 million and unused lines of credit under commercial loans of $12.5 million. In the opinion of management, all loan commitments equaled or exceeded prevailing market interest rates as of June 30, 2004, and will be funded from normal cash flow from operations. NOTE J - REGULATORY CAPITAL The Bank is subject to minimum regulatory capital standards promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS"). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory -- and possibly additional discretionary -- actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the consolidated 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 under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. The minimum capital standards of the OTS generally require the maintenance of regulatory capital sufficient to meet each of three tests, hereinafter described as the tangible capital requirement, the core capital requirement and the risk-based capital requirement. The tangible capital requirement provides for minimum tangible capital (defined as shareholders' equity less all intangible assets) equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets. The core capital requirement provides for minimum core capital (tangible capital plus certain forms of supervisory goodwill and other qualifying intangible assets) generally equal to 4.0% of adjusted total assets, except for those associations with the highest examination rating and acceptable levels of risk. The risk-based capital requirement provides for the maintenance of core capital plus general loss allowances equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. In computing risk-weighted assets, the Bank multiplies the value of each asset on its statement of financial condition by a defined risk-weighting factor, e.g., one- to four-family residential loans carry a risk-weighted factor of 50%. 39 FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 NOTE J - REGULATORY CAPITAL (continued) During fiscal 2003, the Bank was notified by the OTS that it was categorized as "well-capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management does not believe there have been any changes in facts and circumstances that would change the Bank's capital category. To be categorized as "well-capitalized" the Bank must maintain minimum capital ratios as set forth in the following tables. As of June 30, 2004 and 2003, management believes that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject. As of June 30, 2004 To be "well- capitalized" under For capital prompt corrective Actual adequacy purposes action provisions ------ ----------------- ----------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio (Dollars in thousands) greater than greater than greater than greater than Tangible capital $15,883 11.7% or equal to $2,034 or equal to 1.5% or equal to $6,781 or equal to 5.0% greater than greater than greater than greater than Core capital $15,883 11.7% or equal to $5,425 or equal to 4.0% or equal to $8,137 or equal to 6.0% greater than greater than greater than greater than Risk-based capital $16,314 17.4% or equal to $7,515 or equal to 8.0% or equal to $9,393 or equal to 10.0% As of June 30, 2003 To be "well- capitalized" under For capital prompt corrective Actual adequacy purposes action provisions ------ ----------------- ----------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio (Dollars in thousands) greater than greater than greater than greater than Tangible capital $15,666 11.5% or equal to $2,035 or equal to 1.5% or equal to $6,785 or equal to 5.0% greater than greater than greater than greater than Core capital $15,666 11.5% or equal to $5,428 or equal to 4.0% or equal to $8,142 or equal to 6.0% greater than greater than greater than greater than Risk-based capital $16,484 18.4% or equal to $7,177 or equal to 8.0% or equal to $8,971 or equal to 10.0% The Bank's management believes that, under the current regulatory capital regulations, the Bank will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. However, events beyond the control of the Bank, such as increased interest rates or a downturn in the economy in the Bank's market area, could adversely affect future earnings and, consequently, the ability to meet future minimum regulatory capital requirements. 40 FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 NOTE K - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION The following condensed financial statements summarize the financial position of FFD Financial Corporation as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002.

Generally, the Bank's payment of dividends is limited, without prior OTS approval, to net earnings for the current calendar year plus the two preceding calendar years, less capital distributions paid over the comparable time period. The Bank is required to submit a notice of dividends payable with the OTS prior to payment. Insured institutions are required to file an application with the OTS for capital distributions in excess of this limitation. NOTE L - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In connection with construction work performed, the Bank paid a contractor approximately $187,000, during fiscal 2003. A principal of the contracting company also serves as an outside director to FFD Financial Corporation. 42 FFD FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND FIRST FEDERAL COMMUNITY BANK DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS ================================================================================ Board of Directors of Executive Officers of FFD Financial Corporation and FFD Financial Corporation First Federal Community Bank Xxxxxxx X.
