This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of such words as estimate, project, believe, intend, anticipate, plan, seek, expect and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include:

† statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

† statements regarding our business plans and prospects and growth and operating strategies;

† statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

† estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report.

The following factors, among others, could cause the actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

† our ability to manage our operations under the current adverse economic conditions nationally and in our market area;

† adverse changes in the financial industry, securities, credit and national and local real estate markets (including real estate values);

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

† further declines in the yield on our assets resulting from the current low market interest rate environment;

† changes in consumer borrowing, spending or savings habits, including a lack of consumer confidence in financial institutions;

† risks related to high concentration of loans secured by real estate located in our market area;

† significant increases in our loan losses;

† potential increases in deposit and premium assessments;

† our ability to pay dividends and Oconee Federal, MHC's ability to waive receipt of dividends;

† legislative or regulatory changes, including increased compliance costs resulting from the recently enacted financial reform legislation, that adversely affect our business and earnings;

† changes in the level of government support of housing finance;

† significantly increased competition with either depository and nondepository financial institutions;

† our ability to enter new markets and capitalize on growth opportunities;

† our reliance on a small executive staff;

† changes in accounting policies and practices as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies and the authoritative accounting and auditing bodies:

† risks and costs related to operating as a publicly traded company; and

† changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans.

Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in Form 10-K Annual Report of Oconee Federal Financial Corp. as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011

Our total assets increased $2.6 million, or 0.69%, to $376.9 million at March 31, 2012 from $374.3 million at June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to an increase in securities available for sale of $24.9 million, or 81.14%, to $55.5 million at March 31, 2012 from $30.6 million at June 30, 2011. The increase in securities available for sale was offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $11.6 million, or 19.04%, to $49.2 million at March 31, 2012 from $60.8 million at June 30, 2011 and a decrease in net loans of $9.2 million, or 3.47%, to $255.7 million at March 31, 2012 from $264.9 million at June 30, 2011. The continued increase in securities was due to a decrease in the demand for loans in our market area, the investment of deposit funds and the proceeds of our stock offering in securities instead of loans, and our desire to obtain a higher yield than the current yield rate on federal funds.

Total gross loans decreased by $9.2, or 3.4%, million to $258.1 million at March 31, 2012 from $267.3 million at June 30, 2011. Our one to four family real estate loans decreased by $10.2 million, or 4.2%, to $238.9 million at March 31, 2012 from $249.1 million at June 30, 2011 resulting from decreased demand in our market area. The decrease in one to four family real estate loans was offset by an increase in construction and land loans to $8.2 million at March 31, 2012 from $7.2 million at June 30, 2011 resulting from increased demand for construction and land loans of $1.0 million, or 14.3%, in our market area. All other loan categories decreased slightly from June 30, 2011 to March 31, 2012 by $83 thousand.

Deposits increased $791 thousand, or 0.27%, to $293.3 million at March 31, 2012 from $292.5 million at June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributed to an increase in NOW and demand deposits of $1.5 million, an increase in money market deposits of $1.4 million and an increase in regular savings and other of $945 thousand, offset by a decrease in certificate of deposits of $3.1 million. We generally do not accept brokered deposits and no brokered deposits were accepted during the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

We had no advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta as of March 31, 2012 or June 30, 2011. We have credit available under a loan agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta in the amount of 11% of total assets (as of December 31, 2011), or approximately $41.3 million.

Total equity equaled $82.2 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $80.2 million at June 30, 2011. The increase of $2.0 million, or 2.4%, was primarily related to net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 of $2.8 million less $1.2 million in dividends for the same period.

There were no other loans that are not disclosed above where there is information about possible credit problems of borrowers that caused us serious doubts about the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and that may result in disclosure of such loans in the future.

Interest income that would have been recorded had our non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms was $61 thousand and $159 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Interest of $52 thousand and $30 thousand was recognized on these loans and is included in net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Analysis of Net Interest Margin

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and rates, and certain other information at and for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the tables as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of net deferred costs, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to income.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011

General. We recognized net income of $948 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to net loss of $197 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase of $1.1 million was attributable to a decrease in charitable contributions expense of $1.7 million as charitable contributions expense of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was related to the cash and shares of common stock contributed to a charitable foundation as part of the mutual to stock conversion and reorganization completed on January 13, 2011. The decrease in charitable contributions expense was partially offset by an increase in income tax expense of $766 thousand. This increase was the result of an income tax benefit recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2011 of $132 thousand compared to income tax expense of $634 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The income tax benefit resulted from the charitable contributions expense.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased slightly by $10 thousand to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the average balance of interest earning assets of $13.4 million to $350.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $363.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Interest income on loans decreased by $151 thousand, or 4.12%, to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease resulted from a decrease in the average balances of loans of $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $257.0 million at March 31, 2012 from $266.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Interest income on investment securities increased by $134 thousand to $240 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $106 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase reflected an increase in the average balance of securities to $60.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in average balances offset the decrease in yields on such securities to 1.60% from 4.19% for the same periods.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $452 thousand, or 37.70%, to $747 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease reflected a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits in the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 1.04% from 1.67% in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $2.3 million to $289.3 million from $291.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The largest decrease in interest expense came from certificates of deposit, which decreased $359 thousand, or 35.13% as the average balance of certificates of deposits decreased $6.0 million and the average rate paid on these deposits decreased to 1.17% from 1.78%.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $442 thousand, or 17.05%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase resulted from an increase in our interest rate spread to 3.29% from 2.56% and an increase in our net interest margin to 3.47% from 2.89% for the same periods. The increase in our interest rate spread was largely due to our declining cost of funds, which reflected the continuing decline across the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The increase in our interest rate spread and net interest margin was partially offset by a decrease in our average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities ratio to 1.21X for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 1.25X for the three months ended March 3, 2011.

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $82 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to a negative provision of $6 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Net charge offs for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $0 compared with $1 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is attributed to the provision for loans individually evaluated for impairment.

We used the same methodology in assessing the allowances for both periods. To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased by $31 thousand to $58 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $27 thousand for the same period in 2011. The increase in noninterest income was primarily attributed to an increase in the gains on sales of securities of $22 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 over the same period ended March 31, 2011.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased by $1.5 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $1.7 million in charitable contribution expense as $1.7 million of charitable contribution expenses was incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2011 related to the reorganization. The decrease was offset partially by an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $36 thousand, an increase in professional and supervisory fees of $51 thousand, and an increase of

$121 thousand in the provision for real estate owned over the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in salary and employee benefits is primarily attributable to ESOP expense of $45 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $634 thousand compared with an income tax benefit of $132 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The income tax benefit was the result of our charitable contributions expense of $1.7 million. Our effective income tax rate was 40.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 39.25% for the same period ended 2011.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011

General. We recognized net income of $2.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to net income of $1.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The increase of $1.4 million was primarily attributed to the decrease in charitable contribution expense of $1.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, which was partially offset by an increase in income tax expense of $984 thousand for the nine months ended as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $87 thousand, or 0.76%, to $11.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was due to an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 to $347.8 million from $347.7 million and an increase in the average yields on interest earning assets to 4.41% from 4.38% for the same periods ended.

Interest income on loans decreased by $193 thousand, or 1.75%, to $10.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, which reflected both a decrease in the yield on loans to 5.51% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from 5.52% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and a decrease in the average balance of loans to $261.5 million from $265.9 million for the same periods. The lower yields reflected a declining market interest rate environment during 2012 from 2011 and its impact on our portfolio, which was primarily comprised of one to four family residential mortgage loans and a declining demand for those loans. Interest income on investment securities increased by $255 thousand, or 72.24%, to $608 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from $353 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, reflecting an increase in the average balance of such securities to $51.2 million from $11.2 million in 2011, which more than offset the decrease in the average yield on such securities to 1.58% from 4.20%.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.4 million, or 35.10%, to $2.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from $3.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease reflected a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 to 1.17% from 1.81% in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, which more than offset the increase of $1.4 million in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $289.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from $287.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Interest expense on certificates of deposit decreased $844 thousand, or 25.83%, to $2.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from $3.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease reflected a decrease in the average cost of such certificates to 1.42% from 1.89% and a decrease in the average balance of such deposits of $1.6 million as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Interest expense on money market deposits, savings, NOW and demand deposits decreased $527 thousand, or 82.47%, to $112 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from $639 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease reflected the decrease in the average cost of such deposits to 0.26% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from 1.47% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, which more than offset the increase in their average balances of $3.1 million to $61.0 million from $57.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $1.5 million, or 19.37%, to $9.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from $7.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $224 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to a provision of $47 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $177 thousand, or 376.6%. Net charge offs for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 were $155 thousand compared with $62 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in the provision for loan losses for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 is reflective of the increase in net charge offs during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

We used the same methodology in assessing the allowances for both periods. To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
