NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2015

(unaudited)

On March 2, 2005, First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Hazard (“First Federal of Hazard” or the “Association”) completed a Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan” or the “Reorganization”) pursuant to which the Association reorganized into the mutual holding company form of ownership with the incorporation of a stock holding company, Kentucky First Federal Bancorp (the “Company”) as parent of the Association. Coincident with the Reorganization, the Association converted to the stock form of ownership, followed by the issuance of all the Association’s outstanding stock to Kentucky First Federal Bancorp. Completion of the Plan of Reorganization culminated with Kentucky First Federal Bancorp issuing 4,727,938 common shares, or 55% of its common shares, to First Federal Mutual Holding Company (“First Federal MHC”), a federally chartered mutual holding company, with 2,127,572 common shares, or 24.8% of its shares offered for sale at $10.00 per share to the public and a newly formed Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). The Company received net cash proceeds of $16.1 million from the public sale of its common shares. The Company’s remaining 1,740,554 common shares were issued as part of the $31.4 million cash and stock consideration paid for 100% of the common shares of Frankfort First Bancorp (“Frankfort First”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Federal Savings Bank of Frankfort (“First Federal of Frankfort”). The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and resulted in the recordation of goodwill and other intangible assets totaling $15.4 million.

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which represent the consolidated balance sheets and results of operations of the Company, were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the six- and three-month periods ended December 31, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for an entire fiscal year. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Frankfort First, and its wholly-owned banking subsidiaries, First Federal of Hazard and First Federal of Frankfort (collectively hereinafter “the Banks”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications - Certain amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on prior years’ net income or shareholders’ equity.

3. Investment Securities (continued)

The Company’s equity securities consist of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Company (FHLMC or Freddie Mac) stock, while our debt securities consist of agency bonds and mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities do not have a single maturity date. The amortized cost and fair value of held-to-maturity debt securities are shown by contractual maturity. Securities not due at a single maturity date are shown separately.

One to five years		1,030		1,027

	$	15,916	$	15,989

Our pledged securities at December 31, 2015, and June 30, 2015 totaled $2.2 million.

There were no sales of investment securities during the six month periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

We evaluated securities in unrealized loss positions for evidence of other-than-temporary impairment, considering duration, severity, financial condition of the issuer, our intention to sell or requirement to sell. Those securities were agency bonds, which carry a very limited amount of risk. Also, we have no intention to sell nor feel that we will be compelled to sell such securities before maturity.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

A Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”) is the situation where the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that the Bank would not otherwise have considered due to the borrower’s financial difficulties. All TDRs are considered “impaired.” At December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the Company had $1.6 million and $1.9 million of loans classified as TDRs, respectively. Of the TDRs at December 31, 2015, approximately 32.5% were related to the borrower’s completion of Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings with no reaffirmation of the debt to the Banks.

The following table presents TDR’s by loan type at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, and their performance, by modification type:

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Loans listed that are not rated are included in groups of homogeneous loans and are evaluated for credit quality based on performing status. See the aging of past due loan table above. As of December 31, 2015, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

(in thousands)	Pass		Special Mention		Substandard		Doubtful		Not rated

5. Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

ASC topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. Level 2 securities include agency mortgage-backed securities.

Impaired Loans

At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is evaluated for loss based on the fair value of collateral securing the loan if the loan is collateral dependent. If a loss is identified, a specific allocation will be established as part of the allowance for loan losses such that the loan’s net carrying value is at its estimated fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. For collateral-dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Other Real Estate

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

The following is a disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For financial instruments where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value and other valuation methods.

The methods used are greatly affected by the assumptions applied, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Therefore, the fair values presented may not represent amounts that could be realized in an exchange for certain financial instruments.

5. Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (continued)

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015:

Cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits : The carrying amounts presented in the consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents are deemed to approximate fair value.

Held-to-maturity securities : For held-to-maturity securities, fair value is estimated by using pricing models, quoted price of securities with similar characteristics, which is level 2 pricing for the other securities.

Loans held for sale : Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are determined by FHLB pricing schedules.

Loans : 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 fair values of the loans does not necessarily represent an exit price.

Loans receivable represents the Company’s most significant financial asset, which is in Level 3 for fair value measurements. A third party provides financial modeling for the Company and results are based on assumptions and factors determined by management.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock : It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Accrued interest receivable : The carrying amount is the estimated fair value.

Deposits : The fair value of NOW accounts, passbook accounts, and money market deposits are 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.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances : 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.

Advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance and accrued interest payable : The carrying amount presented in the consolidated statement of financial condition is deemed to approximate fair value.

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 fair value of outstanding loan commitments at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, was not material.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2015 to December 31, 2015

Assets: At December 31, 2015, the Company’s assets totaled $306.8 million, an increase of $10.5 million, or 3.6%, from total assets at June 30, 2015. This increase was attributed primarily to an increase in investment securities.

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents increased by $845,000 or 6.2% to $14.5 million at December 31, 2015.

Securities: At December 31, 2015 and 2014 our securities portfolio consisted of agency bonds, mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury notes. Investment securities totaled $16.1 million at December 31, 2015, compared to $6.6 million at June 30, 2015, an increase of $9.5 million or 143.9% due primarily to an $11.0 million short-term U.S. Treasury note purchased by the Company, which matured subsequent to December 31, 2015.

Loans : Loans receivable, net, increased by $153,000 or 0.1% to $244.0 million at December 31, 2015. Management continues to look for high-quality loans to add to its portfolio and will continue to emphasize loan originations to the extent that it is profitable, prudent and consistent with our interest rate risk strategies. However, loan demand continues in its weakened state as a result of the downturn in the economy and we expect to see a continued decrease in demand for home loans until the housing market regains a stronger footing.

Non-Performing Loans: At December 31, 2015, the Company had non-performing loans (loans 90 or more days past due or on nonaccrual status) of approximately $6.0 million, or 2.4% of total loans (including loans purchased in the acquisition), compared to $6.5 million or 2.7%, of total loans at June 30, 2015. The Company’s allowance for loan losses totaled $1.6 million at December 31, 2015, and June 30, 2015, respectively. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2015, represented 26.3% of nonperforming loans and 0.64% of total loans (including loans purchased in the acquisition), while at June 30, 2015, the allowance represented 24.1% of nonperforming loans and 0.6% of total loans.

The Company had $12.5 million in assets classified as substandard for regulatory purposes at December 31, 2015, including loans ($11.4 million) and real estate owned (“REO”) ($1.1 million), including loans acquired in the CKF Bancorp transaction. Classified loans as a percentage of total loans (including loans acquired) was 4.7% and 4.5% at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively. Of substandard loans, 99.9% were secured by real estate on which the Banks have priority lien position.

At December 31, 2015, the Company’s real estate acquired through foreclosure represented 9.1% of substandard assets compared to 12.6% at June 30, 2015. During the six months ended December 31, 2015, the Company sold property with a carrying value of $723,000 for $777,000, while during the year ended June 30, 2015, property with a carrying value of $590,000 was sold for $702,000. During the six months ended December 31, 2015, the Company made $510,000 in loans to facilitate the purchase of its other real estate owned by qualified borrowers, while for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, $424,000 in loans to facilitate an exchange were made. The Company defers recognition of any gain on loans to facilitate an exchange until the proper time in the future. Loans to facilitate the sale of other real estate owned, which were included in substandard loans, totaled $235,000 and $292,000 at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

Total REO		14	$	1,138		20	$	1,593

At December 31, 2015, and June 30, 2015, the Company had $9.0 million and $8.1 million of loans classified as special mention, respectively (including loans purchased at December 31, 2012.) This category includes assets which do not currently expose us to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification, but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving our close attention. The primary reason for this increase was related to two larger borrowers who each experienced some weakness in cash flow, but had no delinquency and their loans were well secured by real estate.

Liabilities: At December 31, 2015, the Company’s liabilities totaled $239.2 million, an increase of $10.3 million, or 4.5%, from total liabilities at June 30, 2015. The increase in liabilities was attributed primarily to an increase in FHLB advances which totaled $44.5 million at quarter end, an increase of $17.9 million or 67.2% compared to June 30, 2015 and was partially offset by a $7.2 million or 3.6% decrease in deposits which totaled $192.5 million at December 31, 2015. The Company utilized a short-term advance to purchase an $11.0 million short-term U.S. Treasury note, which matured shortly after December 31, 2015. Deposit customers continue seeking higher yields on their funds after growing impatient in the current low-rate environment and some are turning to non-insured investments. As deposits have continued to decrease, we have utilized short-term FHLB advances as replacement funding.

Shareholders’ Equity: At December 31, 2015, the Company’s shareholders’ equity totaled $67.6 million, an increase of $278,000 or 0.4% from the June 30, 2015 total. The change in shareholders equity was chiefly associated with net profits for the period less dividends paid on common stock.

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2015 to December 31, 2015 (continued)

The Company paid dividends of $736,000 or 78.1% of net income for the six month period just ended. On July 7, 2015, the members of First Federal MHC for the fourth time approved a dividend waiver on annual dividends of up to $0.40 per share of Kentucky First Federal Bancorp common stock. The Board of Directors of First Federal MHC applied for approval of another waiver. The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland has notified the Company that there were no objection to a waiver of dividends paid by the Company to First Federal MHC, and, as a result, First Federal MHC will be permitted to waive the receipt of dividends for quarterly dividends up to $0.10 per common share through the third quarter of 2016. Management believes that the Company has sufficient capital to continue the current dividend policy without affecting the well-capitalized status of either subsidiary bank. Management cannot speculate on future dividend levels, because various factors, including capital levels, income levels, liquidity levels, regulatory requirements and overall financial condition of the Company are considered before dividends are declared. However, management continues to believe that a strong dividend is consistent with the Company’s long-term capital management strategy. See “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015 for additional discussion regarding dividends.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Month Periods Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

General

Net income totaled $942,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $53,000 or 5.3% from net income of $995,000 for the same period in 2014. The decrease in net earnings for the recently-ended six-month period was primarily attributable to lower net interest income, higher non-interest expense, and lower non-interest income, while partially offset by lower provision for loan losses.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income after provision for loan losses decreased $18,000 or 0.3% to $5.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. Primarily due to lower interest income on loans. Provision for loan losses decreased by $255,000 or 95.9% to $11,000 for the six month period just ended compared to $266,000 for the prior year period. Interest income decreased $286,000 or 4.6%, to $6.0 million, while interest expense decreased $13,000 or 1.8% to $692,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, after amortization of fair value adjustments on interest bearing accounts.

Interest income on loans decreased $269,000 or 4.4% to $5.8 million, due primarily to a decrease in the average rate earned on the loan portfolio as borrowers refinanced or modified existing loans to lower rates offered by the Company. The average rate earned on loans outstanding decreased 21 basis points to 4.70% for the six month period just ended, while the average balance of loans outstanding decreased $302,000 to $246.2 million. Interest income on mortgage-backed residential securities (“MBS”) decreased $13,000 or 22.8% to $44,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, as the average balance decreased $969,000 or 26.5% to $2.7 million for the recently ended period, while the average rate earned increased 16 basis points to 3.28% compared to the period a year ago. Interest income on other securities, primarily composed of agency bonds, totaled $10,000 during the recent six month period, compared to $13,000 for the prior year period. The average balance of other investment securities was $3.4 million for the six month period just ended and the average rate earned on those securities was 58 basis points.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Month Periods Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 (continued)

Net Interest Income (continued)

Interest income on interest-bearing deposits and other decreased slightly for the period just ended.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $38,000 or 6.5% to $548,000 for the six month period ended December 31, 2015, due primarily to a decrease in the average balance of deposits outstanding. Average deposits outstanding decreased $14.7 million or 7.1% to $193.2 million for the recently ended six month period, while the average rate paid on deposits increased 1 basis point to 57 basis points for the current year period. Interest expense on borrowings increased $25,000 or 21.0% to $144,000 for the six month period ended December 31, 2015, compared to the prior year period. The increase in interest expense on borrowings was attributed to a higher average balance outstanding as the average balance outstanding increased $13.1 million or 78.4% to $29.7 million, while the average rate paid on borrowings decreased 46 basis points to 97 basis points for the recently ended period. The Company utilized a short-term advance to fund the investment in a U.S. Treasury Note, which matured shortly after December 31, 2015.

Net interest margin decreased from 4.11% for the prior year period to 3.93% for the six months ended December 31, 2015 primarily due to the decrease in rates earned on loans.

Provision for Losses on Loans

The Company recorded $11,000 in provision for losses on loans during the six months ended December 31, 2015, compared to a provision of $266,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014. The decreased provision was primarily due to improving asset quality, minimal loan primarily due to the charge-offs and stable loan balances. There can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance will be adequate to absorb unidentified losses on loans in the portfolio, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $240,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $88,000 or 26.8% from the same period in 2014. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily attributable to a $89,000 or 62.7% decrease in net gain on sales of REO. Net gain on sale of REO totaled $53,000 for the six months just ended compared to $142,000 for the prior year period. Contributing to the decrease in non-interest income was an increase in valuation adjustment for REO, which totaled $39,000 for the recently ended period compared to $14,000 in the prior year. Somewhat offsetting the decrease in non-interest income produced by decreased net gain on sales of REO and an increased valuation adjustment for REO was an increase in net gains on sales of loans, which totaled $41,000 for the six month period ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $26,000 or 173.3% compared to the 2014 period.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense totaled $4.2 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, an increase of $107,000 or 2.6% period to period. The increase was primarily related to higher costs associated with employee compensation and benefits and occupancy and equipment, while being somewhat offset by decreases in foreclosure and REO expenses as well as data processing. Employee compensation and benefits totaled $2.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $130,000 or 5.2% over the prior year period due primarily to expenses associated with the Company’s defined benefit (“DB”) pension plan. Plan expenses totaled $354,000 during the six-month period just ended compared to $226,000 in the six-month period a year ago, an increase of $128,000 or 56.6%. In the previous fiscal year plan expenses for the DB plan were reduced because of sufficient funding levels, while acknowledging that additional expenses would be incurred in the current fiscal year. The DB expense levels for the six months just ended are expected to remain level for the next six months. Occupancy and equipment costs increased $45,000 or 16.6% and totaled $316,000 for the recently ended period, primarily due to the Company’s additional physical plant capacity. First Federal of Kentucky began operating in its newly-acquired branch facility during the second quarter of this fiscal year. First Federal of Hazard expects to occupy its newly-acquired main office in Q3 of this fiscal year. Foreclosure and REO expenses totaled $53,000, a decrease of $68,000 or 56.2% as the Company continued to work through its REO process. Data processing expense totaled $191,000, a decrease of $18,000 or 8.6%, for the recently ended six month period.

Federal Income Tax Expense

Federal income taxes expense totaled $330,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, compared to $490,000 in the prior year period primarily due to the reversal of a FIN 48 reserve related to a previously received federal tax refund. The effective tax rates were 25.9% and 33.0% for the six month periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

General

Net income totaled $404,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $175,000 or 30.2% from net income of $579,000 for the same period in 2014 primarily due to lower net interest income, higher non-interest expense and lower non-interest income, while partially offset by lower provision for loan losses.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $51,000 or 2.0% to $2.6 million for the three month period just ended. Net interest income before provision for loan loss decreased $159,000 or 5.7% to $2.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. There was no provision for losses on loans in the recently-ended quarter compared to a provision of $210,000 in the prior year period. Interest income decreased by $171,000, or 5.4%, to $3.0 million, while interest expense decreased $12,000 or 3.4% to $342,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, after amortization of fair value adjustments on interest bearing accounts.

Interest income on loans decreased $161,000 or 5.3% to $2.9 million, due primarily to a decrease in the average rate earned on the loan portfolio. The average rate earned on the loan portfolio decreased 26 basis points to 4.71% for the three month period ended December 31, 2015, while the average balance of the loan portfolio decreased $320,000 or 0.13% to $246.0 million. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased $7,000 or 25.0% to $21,000 for the quarter just ended primarily as a result of a $958,000 or 27.3% decrease in the average balance which totaled $2.6 million for the most recent quarter ended.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

(continued)

Interest expense on deposits decreased $29,000 or 9.8% to $268,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 2015, while interest expense on borrowings increased $17,000 or 29.8% to $74,000 for the same period. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was attributed primarily to a decrease in the average balance of deposits and to a lesser extent a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits. The average balance of deposits decreased $14.3 million or 7.0% to $191.5 million for the most recent period, while the average balance paid on deposits decreased 2 basis points to 56 basis points. The decrease in average deposits was attributed to rate-sensitive deposit customers withdrawing funds to seek additional yield as the historically low interest rate environment continues. The increase in interest expense on borrowings was attributed primarily to higher average outstanding balances, while the rate paid on amounts outstanding decreased period to period. The average balance of borrowings outstanding increased $12.9 million or 69.2% to $31.6 million for the recently ended three month period, while the average rate paid on borrowings decreased 28 basis points to 94 basis points for the most recent period.

Net interest margin decreased slightly from 4.14% for the prior year quarterly period to 3.93% for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

Provision for Losses on Loans

The Company recorded no provision for losses on loans during the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to a $210,000 provision for the three months ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to improving asset quality, minimal loan charge-offs and stable loan balances. There can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance will be adequate to absorb unidentified losses on loans in the portfolio, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $126,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, a decrease of $106,000 from the same period in 2014, primarily due to a decrease in gain on sale of REO.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $211,000 or 10.8% and totaled $2.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Employee compensation and benefits increased $228,000 or 20.1% to $1.4 million for the quarterly period, primarily due to expenses associated with the Company’s defined benefit (“DB”) pension plan. Plan expenses totaled $206,000 during the three-month period just ended compared to nil in the three-month period a year ago. In the previous fiscal year DB expenses were reduced because of sufficient funding levels, while acknowledging that additional expense would be incurred in the current fiscal year. Occupancy and equipment costs increased $28,000 or 20.0% and totaled $168,000 for the recently ended period, primarily due to the Company’s additional physical plant capacity. First Federal of Kentucky began operating in its newly-acquired branch facility during the second quarter of this fiscal year. Foreclosure and REO expenses totaled $25,000, a decrease of $43,000 or 63.2% as the Company continued to work through its REO process. Data processing expense totaled $94,000, a decrease of $13,000 or 12.2%, for the recently ended quarter.
