Item 4.02            Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

On September 29, 2010, management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Kentucky First Federal Bancorp (the “Company”) determined that the Company’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2009 and for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2009, December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010 should no longer be relied upon as a result of certain adjustments to the Company’s accrued and deferred income tax liability.

The restatement of the financial statements will incorporate the following adjustments:

 
·
The reduction of deferred federal income taxes payable at July 1, 2007 with a $224,000 adjustment to retained earnings  reflecting lower actual levels of deferred tax liabilities;
 
·
The decrease of the Company’s net earnings for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, from $808,000 to $728,000, as a result of additional income tax due on a dividend distribution from one of the Company’s bank subsidiaries, which exceeded the Bank’s accumulated earnings and profits and, as a consequence, resulted in a distribution of the bank’s thrift reserve; and
 
·
The decrease of the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share from $0.11 to $0.10 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.

           The financial statements also will be restated to revise the reported liability associated with deferred income taxes.  As a result of the restatement, the following financial statement line items were adjusted (in thousands, except share data):
