Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation/Nature of Operations

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of FedFirst Financial Corporation (“FedFirst Financial” or the “Company”), a stock holding company established in 2010, whose wholly owned subsidiary is First Federal Savings Bank (“First Federal” or the “Bank”), a federally chartered stock savings bank, which owns FedFirst Exchange Corporation (“FFEC”). FFEC has an 80% controlling interest in Exchange Underwriters, Inc. (“Exchange Underwriters”). Exchange Underwriters is a full-service, independent insurance agency that offers property and casualty, commercial liability, surety and other insurance products. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

First Federal operates as a community-oriented financial institution offering residential, multi-family and commercial mortgages, consumer loans and commercial business loans as well as a variety of deposit products for individuals and businesses from seven locations in southwestern Pennsylvania. First Federal conducts insurance brokerage activities through Exchange Underwriters. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions and to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include information or notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to make the consolidated financial statements not misleading have been included. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period.

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and incorporated into the consolidated financial statements the effect of all material known events determined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 855, Subsequent Events, to be recognizable events.

In preparing financial statements in conformity with 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to determination of the allowance for losses on loans, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, evaluation of securities for other-than-temporary impairment including related cash flow projections, goodwill impairment, and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Note 2.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2013-11 Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, which provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The ASU is intended to eliminate diversity in practice resulting from a lack of guidance on this topic in current GAAP. Under the ASU, an entity generally must present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operation.

5

ASU 2014-04Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure.  In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure, to reduce diversity in practice by clarifying when an in substance repossession of foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of a residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The amendments in this ASU clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operation.

ASU 2014-06 Technical Corrections and Improvements Related to Glossary Terms.  In March 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-06, Technical Corrections and Improvements Related to Glossary Terms, to amend and clarify various master glossary terms that cover a wide range of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in this ASU were effective upon issuance and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The Company reviews its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer including any specific events that may influence the operations of the issuer, and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market.

Municipal Bonds – At March 31, 2014, the Company had one municipal bond with an unrealized loss of $75,000 in an unrealized loss position of less than 12 months and one municipal bond with an unrealized loss of $51,000 in an unrealized loss position of 12 months or more. An evaluation was performed on each bond. For the bond in an unrealized loss position of less than 12 months, there were no events to indicate deterioration in credit with unchanged, investment grade credit ratings. The Company believes the unrealized loss on this bond is due to market conditions, specifically rising interest rates impacting the value of the bonds. For the bond in an unrealized loss position of 12 months or more, the credit rating was initially downgraded in 2012 primarily due to budgetary challenges and more recently in July 2013 primarily due to accreditation concerns; however the credit rating remains investment grade and the strong income indicators of the economic base and sound financial policies and practices of the municipality, and the municipality’s ability to levy a property tax that is sufficient to be used for bond payment are expected to allow it to repay debt and meet its contractual obligations. Therefore, the Company believes the unrealized loss of this bond is due to changes in market conditions. The Company does not intend to sell the bonds and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the bonds before recovery. The Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis and concluded that there was no OTTI on these bonds at March 31, 2014.

Corporate Debt – At March 31, 2014, the Company had three securities that were in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more at an amount of $367,000. These securities consist of two pools of trust preferred corporate debt obligations (“CDOs”) collateralized by the trust preferred securities of insurance companies in the United States. These securities were downgraded from their original rating issuance to below investment grade in 2009 after purchase. Credit rating downgrades and market uncertainties are factors contributing to the unrealized losses on these securities.

The following table provides additional information related to the Company’s CDOs at March 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands).

Pool	Class	Tranche		Amortized Cost		Fair Value		Unrealized Loss			S&P Rating	Current Number of Insurance Companies		Total Collateral		Current Deferrals and Defaults		Performing Collateral		Additional Immediate Deferrals / Defaults Before Causing an Interest Shortfall (a)		Additional Immediate Deferrals / Defaults Before Causing a Break in Yield (b)
I-PreTSL I	Mezzanine		B-3	$	1,500	$	1,295	$	(205	)	CCC-		16	$	188,300	$	32,500	$	155,800	$	103,169	$	46,000
I-PreTSL II	Mezzanine		B-3		2,496		2,334		(162	)	BB+		22		275,500		24,500		251,000		186,472		105,000
				$	3,996	$	3,629	$	(367	)

(a) A temporary interest shortfall is caused by an amount of deferrals/defaults high enough such that there is insufficient cash flow available to pay current interest on the given tranche or by breaching the principal coverage test of the tranche immediately senior to the given tranche. Amounts presented represent additional deferrals/defaults beyond those currently existing that must occur before the security would experience an interest shortfall.

(b) A break in yield for a given tranche means that deferrals/defaults have reached such a level that the tranche would not receive all of its contractual cash flows (principal and interest) by maturity (so not just a temporary interest shortfall, but an actual loss in yield on the investment). In other words, the magnitude of the defaults/deferrals has depleted the entire credit enhancement (excess interest and over-collateralization) beneath the given tranche. Amounts presented represent additional deferrals/defaults beyond those currently existing that must occur before the security would experience a break in yield.

These securities are evaluated for OTTI by determining whether it is probable that an adverse change in estimated cash flows has occurred. Determining whether there has been an adverse change in estimated cash flows involves the calculation of the present value of remaining cash flows compared to previously projected cash flows. None of these securities are projecting a cash flow disruption, nor have any of these securities experienced a cash flow disruption. Additionally, reports are reviewed that provide information for the amount of deferral/defaults that would have to occur to prevent the tranche from collecting contractual cash flows (principal and interest). These securities have a strong credit profile based on the stress analysis which found I-PreTSL I and I-PreTSL II could withstand an immediate default of up to 30% and 42%, respectively, of the remaining performing collateral and still expect to receive all contractual cashflows. The Company also reviewed each of the issues’ collateral participants, including their financial condition, ratings provided by A. M. Best (for insurance companies), and adverse conditions specifically related to industry or geographic area. This information did not suggest additional deferrals or defaults in the future that would result in the securities not receiving all of their contractual cash flows. Based on the analysis performed and the fact that the Company does not expect to sell these securities, and because it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, the Company concluded that there was no OTTI on these securities at March 31, 2014.

In December 2013, the OCC adopted final regulations implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Protection Act, commonly known as the “Volcker Rule”, which restricts the ability of a banking entity to engage in proprietary trading and have certain interests in, or relationships with, a hedge fund or private equity fund (referred to as a “covered fund”). A banking entity must divest its holding in covered funds by July 15, 2015. A covered fund is defined to include any issuer that would be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, but relies on the exemption for funds sold to fewer than 100 investors or the exemption for funds sold only to qualified purchasers. An issuer that could rely on a different exemption from the definition of investment company under the Investment Company Act would not be considered a covered fund, and therefore would not be subject to the Volcker Rule. In particular, the federal banking regulators have noted that some issuers of CDOs may qualify for exemption under Investment Company Act Rule 3a-7, which exempts non-managed fixed income funds from the definition of investment company. Therefore, if the issuer meets the requirements of Rule 3a-7, the CDOs will not be subject to the Volcker Rule. Based on our review, the CDOs held by the Bank as of March 31, 2014 satisfy all conditions for relying on the exemption under Investment Company Act Rule 3a-7, and therefore are not considered a covered fund that require divesture by July 15, 2015. The CDOs were in an unrealized loss position of $367,000 at March 31, 2014.

Other Securities – This category may include mortgage-backed securities and REMICS. At March 31, 2014, the Company had one REMIC security that was issued and backed by a Government-Sponsored Enterprise (“GSE”) with an unrealized loss of $18,000. The security was in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. The Company believes the unrealized loss of the security is due to changes in market interest rates or changes in market conditions as there was no indication that the issuers were having financial difficulties. The Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before its recovery. The Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security and concluded that there was no OTTI at March 31, 2014.

Troubled Debt Restructurings.  A loan whose contractual terms have been restructured in a manner which grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). TDRs typically are the result of our loss mitigation activities whereby concessions are granted to minimize loss and avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. The concessions granted for the TDRs in our portfolio primarily consist of, but are not limited to, capitalization of principal and interest due, reverting from payment of principal and interest to interest-only, or extending a maturity date through a signed forbearance agreement. Certain TDRs were placed in nonaccrual status at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period which is generally six months. Loans that were current at the time of classification remained on an accrual basis and are monitored to ensure restructured contractual terms are met.

TDRs are typically evaluated for any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans based on the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs, for collateral dependent loans. If we determine that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized through a specific allowance for loan losses. In periods subsequent to modification, we continue to evaluate all TDRs for any additional impairment and will adjust any specific allowances accordingly.

There were no loans modified as a TDR during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Allowance for loan losses.  The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. We evaluate the need to establish allowances against losses on loans on a quarterly basis. When additional allowances are necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings.

Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses consists of: (1) a valuation allowance on impaired loans; and (2) a valuation allowance on the remainder of the loan portfolio. Although we determine the amount of each element of the allowance separately, the entire allowance for loan losses is available for the entire portfolio.

Allowance on Impaired Loans. We establish an allowance for loans that are individually evaluated and determined to be impaired. The amount of impairment is determined by the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows related to the loan, using current interest rates and its recorded value, or, as a practical measure in the case of collateralized loans, the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the recorded amount of the loans less estimated selling costs. At March 31, 2014, there were seven loan relationships that were individually evaluated for impairment, of which five were considered TDRs. TDR and impaired loan activity and any related specific allowances were previously discussed in the “Troubled Debt Restructurings” and “Impaired Loans” sections.

Allowance on the Remainder of the Loan Portfolio. We establish an allowance for loans that are not determined to be impaired. Management determines historical loss experience for each group of loans with similar risk characteristics within the portfolio based on loss experience for loans in each group. Loan categories will represent groups of loans with similar risk characteristics and may include types of loans categorized by product, large credit exposures, concentrations, loan grade, or any other characteristic that causes a loan’s risk profile to be similar to another. We utilize previous years’ net charge-off experience by loan category as a basis in determining loss projections. In addition, there are two categories of loans considered to be higher risk concentrations that are evaluated separately when calculating the allowance for loan losses:

· Loans purchased in the secondary market.  Prior to 2006, pools of multi-family and one- to four- family residential mortgage loans located in areas outside of our primary geographic lending area in southwestern Pennsylvania were acquired in the secondary market. Although these loans were underwritten to our lending standards, they are considered higher risk given our unfamiliarity with the geographic areas where the properties are located and ability to timely identify problem loans through servicer correspondence.

· Home equity loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80%. These loans are considered higher risk given the pressure on property values and reduced credit alternatives available to leveraged borrowers.

We also consider qualitative or environmental factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the bank’s existing portfolio to differ from historical loss experience. Our historical loss experience and qualitative and environmental factors are reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure they are reflective of current conditions in our loan portfolio and economy. At March 31, 2014, we utilized the three most recent years of loss history and periods where we did not experience any losses were excluded from determining the historical average loss for each loan class. Certain historical loss factors are annually adjusted when another complete year of loss history is available in order to incorporate recent loss experience in the allowance calculation.

Credit Quality Information.  Federal regulations require us to review and classify our assets on a regular basis. In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) has the authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, require them to be classified. There are four classifications for problem assets: special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio and shows our credit risk profile by internally assigned risk rating at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands).

Note 6.  Borrowings

We utilize borrowings as a supplemental source of funds for loans and securities. The primary sources of borrowings are FHLB advances and, to a limited extent, repurchase agreements. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $36.8 million and $45.9 million of borrowings, respectively, of which $33.8 million and $42.9 million, respectively, were FHLB advances and $3.0 million were repurchase agreements. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our FHLB advances were comprised of fixed rate advances.

The following table sets forth borrowings based on their stated maturities and weighted average rates at the dates indicated.

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing FedFirst Financial’s net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed in a manner similar to basic earnings per common share except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the incremental common shares (as computed using the treasury stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were issued during the period. Common stock equivalents include restricted stock awards and stock options. Anti-dilutive shares are common stock equivalents with weighted-average exercise prices in excess of the weighted-average market value for the periods presented. Unallocated common shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) are not included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating both basic and diluted earnings per common share until they are committed to be released.

16

The following table sets forth basic and diluted earnings per common share at the dates indicated.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)	2014		2013
Net income of FedFirst Financial Corporation	$	534	$	794
Weighted-average shares outstanding:
Basic		2,235,132		2,457,646
Effect of dilutive stock options and restrictive stock awards		50,876		14,757
Diluted		2,286,008		2,472,403
Earnings per share:
Basic	$	0.24	$	0.32
Diluted		0.23		0.32

The dilutive effect on average shares outstanding is the result of stock options outstanding and restricted stock. At March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, options to purchase 134,538 and 163,313 shares of common stock, respectively, at a weighted average exercise price of $19.31 and $17.40 per share, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares.

Note 8.  Fair Value Measurements and Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a sale transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts were measured as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and were not re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 may be different than the amounts reported at each period end.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are active, and model derived valuations in which significant inputs or significant drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant drivers are unobservable.

The following is a discussion of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the valuation techniques used:

Securities available for sale. The majority of the Company’s securities are included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values were primarily determined by a third party pricing service using both quoted prices for similar assets, when available, and model-based valuation techniques that derive fair value based on market-corroborated data, such as instruments with similar prepayment speeds and default interest rates. The standard inputs that are normally used include benchmark yields of like securities, reportable trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications. In some cases, the fair value was determined from a broker who is able to quote a price based on observable inputs in a liquid market for similar securities.

17

In some instances, the fair value of certain securities cannot be determined using these techniques due to the lack of relevant market data. As such, these securities are valued using an alternative technique and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2014, Level 3 includes three corporate debt securities with a fair value of $3.6 million.

The corporate debt securities are pooled trust preferred CDOs collateralized by the trust preferred securities of insurance companies in the United States. The CDOs, which were rated A at purchase and are currently rated below investment grade, could not be priced using quoted market prices, observable market activity or comparable trades, and the financial market was considered not active. The trust preferred market has been severely impacted by the lack of liquidity in the credit markets and concern over the financial services industry. There has been little or no active trading in these securities; therefore it was more appropriate to determine fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis.

The Company utilized a third party pricing service that performed a two-step process to determine the fair value of the CDOs. First, an asset analysis was performed to evaluate the credit quality of the collateral and the deal structure using probability of default values for each underlying issuer and loss given default values by asset type. Probability of default is the likelihood that the issuer of the CDOs will go into default and stop paying and was estimated using an expected default frequency approach, which considers the market value and volatility of a firm’s assets and the threshold for default. Probability of default was combined with correlation assumptions, which is the tendency of companies to default once other companies have defaulted. CDOs are more likely to experience stress at the same time since they are concentrated in the same sector, therefore a 50% asset correlation was assumed for issuers in the same industry. Loss given default is the amount of cash lost to the investor at the time of default and is related to the recovery rate. Loss and recovery estimates determine how much cash remains when an issuer goes into default. Deferrals are a common feature of CDOs and were treated as defaults in the analysis. Loss given default has been historically high for CDOs and therefore a 0% recovery rate was assumed on currently defaulted and deferring assets, which resulted in a 100% loss given default.

Second, a liability analysis was performed in which the expected cash flows produced based off the expected credit events of the asset analysis were allocated across the tranches to determine the tranches that would get paid or incur a loss. These expected cash flows were discounted at a risk free interest rate plus a premium for illiquidity (3 month LIBOR plus 300 basis points) to produce a discounted cash flow valuation and determine an estimated fair value.

For financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the following tables set forth the fair value measurements by fair value hierarchy at the dates indicated.

We may be required to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or writedowns of individual assets.

The following is a discussion of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Impaired loans. Certain impaired loans over $250,000 are individually reviewed to determine the amount of each loan that may be at risk of noncollection. When repayment is expected solely from the collateral, the impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral using property appraisals less any projected selling costs.

Real estate owned. The fair value of real estate owned is estimated using property appraisals less any projected selling costs.

For financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the following table sets forth the fair value measurements by fair value hierarchy at the dates indicated.

	December 31, 2013
(Dollars in thousands)	Carrying Value		Fair Value
Level 3
Impaired loans	$	586	$	586
Real estate owned		465		465
Total assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis	$	1,051	$	1,051

For Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014, the following table sets forth the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements.

(Dollars in thousands)	Fair Value		Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Inputs	Significant Unobservable Input Value
Recurring basis
Securities available-for-sale:
Corporate debt	$	3,629	Discounted cash flow	Average probability of default		0.98	%
				Correlation for issuers in the same industry		50	%
				Deferral/default recovery rate on currently defaulted/deferring assets and projected defaults		0	%
				Prepayment		0	%

19

The following presents the fair value of financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be sustained by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. In addition, the following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amounts approximate the asset’s fair values.

Securities Available-for Sale

See previous discussion on securities available-for-sale measured at fair value on a recurring basis for further details on the valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of securities available-for-sale.

Loans

The fair values for residential real estate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using mortgage commitment rates from either FNMA or FHLMC. The fair values of consumer and commercial business loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates reported in various government releases. The fair values of multi-family and commercial real estate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates based on national commitment rates on similar loans. The carrying value is net of the allowance for loan losses. Due to the significant judgment involved in evaluating credit quality and the allowance for loan losses, loans are classified as Level 3.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The carrying amount approximates the asset’s fair value.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable

The fair value of these instruments approximates the carrying value.

Deposits

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., savings accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the repricing date (i.e., their carrying amounts).  Fair values of certificates of deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the FHLB of Pittsburgh advance yield curve to the maturity schedule of the Bank’s certificates of deposit.

Borrowings

The fair value of FHLB advances and repurchase agreements are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation using the current FHLB advance yield curve. This is the method that the FHLB of Pittsburgh used to determine the cost of terminating the borrowing contract.

Commitments to Extend Credit

These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale and estimated fair values are not readily available. The carrying value, represented by the net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment, and the fair value determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee over the term of the commitment using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar credit risk, are not considered material for disclosure purposes.

Note 11.  Proposed Merger Announcement

On April 14, 2014, CB Financial Services, Inc. (“CB Financial”), a Carmichaels, Pennsylvania based holding company for Community Bank, and FedFirst Financial announced the signing of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) under which FedFirst Financial will merge with and into CB Financial in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $54.5 million. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, stockholders of FedFirst Financial will be entitled to elect to receive $23.00 in cash or shares of CB Financial common stock based on a fixed exchange ratio of 1.1590 shares of CB Financial common stock for each share of FedFirst Financial common stock, subject to proration to ensure that at closing 65% of the outstanding shares of FedFirst Financial common stock are exchanged for shares of CB Financial common stock and the remaining 35% are exchanged for cash. CB Financial and FedFirst Financial expect to complete the transaction late in the third or early fourth quarter of 2014. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals and approval of the merger by shareholders of FedFirst Financial. The Merger Agreement contains certain provisions under which each party has agreed to pay the other a termination fee of $2.75 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances.

Community Bank, a Pennsylvania-chartered commercial bank, operates eleven offices in Greene, Allegheny and Washington Counties in southwestern Pennsylvania. At December 31, 2013, CB Financial had total consolidated assets of approximately $546.5 million.

The Company expects to incur merger-related expenses prior to the completion of the transaction including, but not limited to, approximately $1.1 million in professional services related to investment banker and legal fees. Approximately $600,000 to $700,000 of these expenses are expected to be incurred in the second quarter of 2014.

Note 12.  Related Parties

In 2002, the Company purchased an 80% controlling interest in Exchange Underwriters. The President of Exchange Underwriters is Richard B. Boyer, who owns the remaining 20% of Exchange Underwriters (“Shareholder”). Mr. Boyer is on the board of directors of the Company. The original stock purchase agreement between FFEC and the Shareholder includes an obligation for the Company to purchase the Shareholder’s 20% stake upon the earliest of (1) the termination of the Shareholder’s employment for any reason, (2) May 29, 2014 (the twelfth anniversary of the closing date of the stock purchase agreement), or (3) the transfer by the Shareholder of any of his shares. The Shareholder has a right of first refusal to purchase the FFEC’s interest in Exchange Underwriters prior to the FFEC selling or transferring such shares and has “tag-along” rights to participate in any sale to a buyer on the same terms and conditions as FFEC.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement with CB Financial, FFEC entered into a new stock purchase agreement dated as of April 14, 2014 by and between FFEC and Richard B. Boyer, which provides for the purchase of Mr. Boyer’s interest in Exchange Underwriters for total consideration of $1.2 million immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s merger with CB Financial. FFEC also entered into an amendment to the original stock purchase agreement which extends from May 29, 2014 to June 1, 2017 the date on which FedFirst Financial is obligated to purchase Mr. Boyer’s interest in Exchange Underwriters in the event that the merger is not completed.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Assets.  Total assets at March 31, 2014 were $323.3 million, an increase of $4.3 million, or 1.3%, from total assets of $319.0 million at December 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, funds generated from deposit growth and security paydowns and maturities were used to paydown short-term borrowings and fund loan growth.

Securities available-for-sale decreased $1.3 million, or 4.8%, to $25.5 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $26.8 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily the result of $1.4 million of paydowns.

Loans, net, increased $5.4 million, or 2.0%, to $274.3 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $268.8 million at December 31, 2013 primarily due to increases of $4.6 million in commercial real estate loans and $2.0 million in commercial business loans as well as disbursements on constructions loans partially offset by a decrease of $1.6 million in residential mortgage loans and $803,000 in home equity loans. The Bank continues to change the mix in the loan portfolio by emphasizing growth in commercial loans. At March 31, 2014, commercial real estate and business loans exceeded 30% of total loans for the first time in the Bank’s history.

Liabilities.  Total liabilities at March 31, 2014 were $272.3 million, compared to $267.2 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $5.1 million, or 1.9%.

Total deposits increased $14.4 million, or 6.6%, to $233.6 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $219.2 million at December 31, 2013. There were increases of $6.9 million in money market accounts, $4.7 million in interest-bearing demand deposits and $3.6 million in noninterest-bearing demand deposits partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in certificates of deposit. During the current period, municipal customers made large deposits, some of which may be temporary. In addition, due to the low interest rate environment, the Bank has been selective on promotional interest rates and has concentrated its efforts on increasing noninterest-bearing accounts by building strong customer relationships. The decrease in certificates of deposit was primarily due to customer hesitancy to commit to long-term interest rates.

Borrowings decreased $9.1 million, or 19.9%, to $36.5 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $45.6 million at December 31, 2013 primarily from using funds generated from deposit growth to paydown short-term borrowings.

Stockholders’ Equity.  Stockholders’ equity decreased $846,000 to $51.0 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $51.9  million at December 31, 2013. During the period, the Company purchased 41,200 shares of its common stock through the Company’s recently completed stock repurchase program for $825,000 and paid $703,000 in dividends to stockholders, including $567,000 related to a $0.25 per share special dividend. This was partially offset by $534,000 of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Interest income on securities decreased $112,000 due to a decrease of $14.7 million in average balance primarily due to paydowns of mortgage-backed and REMIC securities. Interest income on loans increased $77,000 due to a $20.5 million increase in the average balance of loans that included a change in loan composition with increases in commercial real estate, home equity installment and commercial business loans partially offset by a decrease in residential and multi-family real estate. The average yield on loans decreased 25 basis points primarily driven by originations of commercial and home equity loans at lower yields.

Interest expense decreased $124,000, or 17.4%, to $590,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $714,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Interest expense on deposits decreased $68,000 due a decrease of 16 basis points in cost, primarily related to the repricing of maturing certificates of deposit to lower rates. Interest expense on borrowings decreased $56,000 due to a decrease of 47 basis points in cost from the payoff of higher cost borrowings that were replaced with lower cost, short-term borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses was $75,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. There was no provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2013. In the current period, the provision was impacted by commercial loan growth. Net recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $4,000 compared to net charge-offs of $23,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income decreased $270,000, or 21.3%, to $999,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Insurance commissions decreased $224,000 primarily due to a $243,000 decline in contingent commissions. In addition, fees and service charge income decreased $45,000 primarily due to prepayment fees received in the prior year from commercial loan payoffs.

Noninterest Expense.  The following table summarizes noninterest expense for the periods indicated.

Noninterest expense increased $67,000, or 2.6%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Compensation expense increased $43,000 primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation and employee benefit expenses. In addition, occupancy expenses increased $25,000 primarily from an increase in depreciation due to prior year office building improvements and increase in maintenance due to current year weather conditions.

Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased $28,000 to $323,000 compared to $351,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to a $312,000 decrease in net income before income tax expense. The effective tax rate was 36.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 29.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Management

Liquidity Management.  Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of available-for-sale securities and borrowings. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of (1) expected loan demand, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities and (4) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits. The levels of these assets depend on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $6.0 million and unpledged securities available-for-sale, which provides an additional source of liquidity, totaled $16.7 million. In addition, at March 31, 2014, the maximum remaining borrowing capacity at the FHLB of Pittsburgh was approximately $111.1 million. We also have the ability to borrow from two unsecured discretionary lines of credit totaling $13.0 million. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Bank had no advances on the lines of credit.

Certificates of deposit due within 12 months of March 31, 2014 totaled $46.7 million, or 53.8% of certificates of deposit. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our maturing certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

Capital Management.  The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the OCC, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements and are considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

The following table sets forth the Bank’s regulatory capital amounts and ratios, as well as the minimum amounts and ratios required to be well capitalized (dollars in thousands).

											To Be Well
						For Capital					Capitalized

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.  The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, these financial instruments are not recorded in our financial statements. The following table summarizes the Company’s commitments at the date indicated. The Company utilizes standby letters of credit through the FHLB to secure public deposits.

	March 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2014
Loans in process	$	11,113
Standby letters of credit		14,450
Unused consumer revolving lines of credit		4,793
Unused commercial lines of credit		13,521
Commitments to originate one-to four- family residential loans		3,701
Commitments to originate consumer loans		454
Commitments to originate commercial loans		3,300
Total commitments outstanding	$	51,332

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operation or cash flows.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable as the registrant is a smaller reporting company.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

FedFirst Financial’s management, including FedFirst Financial’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of FedFirst Financial’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, FedFirst Financial’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that FedFirst Financial files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to FedFirst Financial’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in FedFirst Financial’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, FedFirst Financial’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

On April 21, 2014, a class action complaint, captioned Sutton v. FedFirst Financial Corp., et al., was filed under Case No. 24C14002331, in the Circuit Court in Baltimore City, Maryland, against the Company, each of FedFirst Financial’s directors, and CB Financial. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the FedFirst Financial directors breached their fiduciary duties to FedFirst Financial and its stockholders by agreeing to sell to CB Financial without first taking steps to ensure that FedFirst Financial stockholders would obtain adequate, fair and maximum consideration under the circumstances, by agreeing to terms with CB Financial that benefit themselves and/or CB Financial without regard for the FedFirst Financial stockholders and by agreeing to terms with CB Financial that discourages other bidders. The plaintiff also alleges that CB Financial aided and abetted the FedFirst Financial directors’ breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint seeks, among other things, an order declaring the Merger Agreement unenforceable and rescinding and invalidating the Merger Agreement, an order enjoining the defendants from consummating the merger, as well as attorneys’ and experts’ fees and certain other damages. The Company believes the factual allegations in the complaint are without merit and intends to defend vigorously against the allegations in the complaint.

29

Periodically, there have been various claims and lawsuits against us, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which we hold security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other issues incident to our business. We are not a party to any other pending legal proceedings that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.  The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

The proposed merger with CB Financial may not be completed or the Merger Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms, which could adversely affect our business and results of operation.

The Merger Agreement is subject to a number of conditions that must be fulfilled to complete the merger. Those conditions include: approval of the Merger Agreement by our stockholders, receipt of requisite regulatory approvals, the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties by both parties and the performance by both parties of their covenants and agreements, and the receipt by both parties of legal opinions from their respective tax counsels. If these conditions to the closing of the merger are not fulfilled, then the merger may not be completed.

Furthermore, the parties can mutually decide to terminate the Merger Agreement at any time, before or after FedFirst Financial stockholder approval or CB Financial may elect to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain other circumstances. If the Merger Agreement is terminated, our business may be adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management and the board of directors on the merger. In addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated, the market price of our common stock might decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the merger will be completed. If the Merger Agreement is terminated and our board of directors seeks another merger or business combination, our stockholders cannot be certain that we will be able to find a party willing to offer equivalent or more attractive consideration than the consideration we are receiving in this merger. If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay a termination fee of $2.75 million to CB Financial.

In connection with the proposed merger, we have incurred and will continue to incur expenses, which could prove to be significant. Our business and our operating and financial results may be materially adversely affected by the expenses incurred in connection with the proposed merger. A failed transaction may result in negative publicity and a negative impression of us in the investment community. There can be no assurance that our business, these relationships or our financial condition will not be negatively impacted, as compared to the condition prior to the announcement of the merger, if the merger is not consummated.

We will be subject to business uncertainties while the merger is pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on us and consequently on CB Financial. These uncertainties may impair our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed and could cause customers and others that deal with us to seek to change existing business relationships with us. Retention of certain employees may be challenging during the pendency of the merger, as certain employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the business, our business could be negatively impacted.
