General

Jefferson Bancshares, Inc. (also referred to as the "Company" or "Jefferson Bancshares") is the holding company for Jefferson Federal Bank (the "Bank" or "Jefferson Federal").

The Company has no significant assets, other than all of the outstanding shares of the Bank, and no significant liabilities. Management of the Company and the Bank are substantially similar and the Company neither owns nor leases any property, but instead uses the premises, equipment and furniture of the Bank.

The Bank is engaged primarily in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using such funds to originate loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one-to four- family residential properties, as well as originate commercial real estate and multi-family mortgage loans, construction loans, consumer loans, commercial non-real estate loans and make other investments permitted by applicable laws and regulations.

While core net earnings is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes that this measure is important for the nine month period ended March 31, 2008 to convey to investors the Company's earnings for the period absent the $637,000 non-cash charge to deferred income tax expense to establish a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. The Company calculated its core net earnings for the nine month period ended March 31, 2008 by subtracting this $637,000 non-cash charge from net income for the period. Core net earnings should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities or other income or cash flow statement data calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which the Company calculates core net earnings may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. Reconciliations of the Company's GAAP and core net earnings for the nine month period ended March 31, 2008 follows.

The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Total interest income increased $2.8 million, or 54.6%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and increased $3.7 million, or 22.8%, to $19.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the corresponding periods in 2008 primarily as a result of an increase in average interest-earning assets arising from the State of Franklin acquisition. Average interest-earning assets increased $263.5 million, or 84.5%, to $575.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and increased $143.0 million, or 45.8%, to $455.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in average earning assets for both the three and nine month periods was primarily the result of increases in average outstanding loans. The average yield on

earning assets declined by 104 basis points to 5.68% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and declined by 108 basis points to 5.80% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the corresponding periods in 2008. The decline in the average yield on earning assets was primarily the result of lower yields on prime-based consumer and commercial loans resulting from decreases in the prime-lending rate during the period. In addition, the increase in nonaccrual loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 has negatively impacted interest income on loans and the net interest margin.

Total interest expense increased $1.2 million, or 51.6%, to $3.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $292.1 million, or 116.9%, to $542.0 million, while the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities declined 109 basis points. The Company experienced an increase of $228.8 million, or 106.8%, in average interest-bearing deposits primarily due to deposits assumed in connection with the State of Franklin acquisition. The average rate paid on deposits decreased 128 basis points to 2.33% due to decreases in short term interest rates. Average borrowings increased $55.1 million to $90.8 million due to the assumption of borrowings related to the State of Franklin acquisition, while the average rate paid on borrowings decreased 57 basis points to 3.56%.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, interest expense increased $900,000, or 12.3%, to $8.2 million with average interest-bearing liabilities increasing $157.1 million, or 62.7%, to $407.9 million and the average cost declining 120 basis points to 2.69%.

Provision for Loan Losses

We review the level of the loan loss allowance on a monthly basis and establish the provision for loan losses based on the volume and types of lending, delinquency levels, loss experience, the amount of classified loans, economic conditions and other factors related to the collectibility of the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 amounted to $300,000 compared to $243,000 for the comparable period in 2008. The increase in the provision for loan losses reflects management's evaluation of credit quality and current economic conditions. Nonperforming loans totaled $6.7 million at March 31, 2009 compared to $301,000 at June 30, 2008 and $386,000 at March 31, 2008. The increase in nonperforming loans is due in part to the addition of nonperforming loans from the State of Franklin acquisition, as well as the current economic environment. Nonperforming loans have increased due to deterioration in the residential housing market.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $267,000, or 70.6%, to $645,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $378,000 for the corresponding period in 2008. Service charges and fee income increased $143,000 to $366,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 due primarily to additional fee income generated following the acquisition of State of Franklin. Mortgage origination fee income increased $87,000, or 189.1%, to $133,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to a higher volume of loan originations related to refinancing.

Noninterest income increased $531,000, or 46.7%, to $1.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $1.1 million for the corresponding period in 2008. Service charges and fee income increased $473,000 to $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 due to the same trends outlined for three months ended March 31, 2009.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased $1.7 million, or 76.3%, to $4.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 and increased $2.5 million, or 34.0%, to $9.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the corresponding 2008 periods. Advertising expense decreased for the nine month period due to our decision to defer marketing initiatives to future periods.

In addition, noninterest expense includes the amortization of the core deposit intangible ("CDI") resulting from the acquisition of State of Franklin.
