Members of the Boards of Directors:
 
At your request, we have completed and hereby provide an independent appraisal (“Appraisal”) of the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock which is to be issued in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion transaction described below.
 
This Appraisal is furnished pursuant to the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations 563b.7 and has been prepared in accordance with the “Guidelines for Appraisal Reports for the Valuation of Savings and Loan Associations Converting from Mutual to Stock Form of Organization” of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof.
 
Description of Plan of Conversion and Reorganization
 
On May 5, 2010, the respective Boards of Directors of Capitol Federal Savings Bank MHC (the “MHC”) and Capitol Federal Financial (“CFFN”) adopted a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (the “Plan of Conversion”) whereby the MHC will convert to stock form.  As a result of the conversion, CFFN, which currently owns all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Capitol Federal Savings Bank, Topeka, Kansas (the “Bank”) will be succeed by a Maryland corporation with the name of Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. (“Capitol Federal Financial” or the “Company”).  Following the conversion, the MHC will no longer exist.  For purposes of this document, the existing consolidated entity will hereinafter be referred to as Capitol Federal Financial or the Company.  As of March 31, 2010, the MHC had a majority ownership interest in, and its principal asset consisted of, approximately 70.55% of the common stock (the “MHC Shares”) of Capitol Federal Financial.  The remaining 29.45% of Capitol Federal Financial’s common stock is owned by public stockholders.

It is our understanding that Capitol Federal Financial will offer its stock, representing the majority ownership interest held by the MHC, in a subscription offering to Eligible Account Holders, Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans including the Bank’s employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”), Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Members, as such terms are defined for purposes of applicable federal regulatory requirements governing mutual-to-stock conversions.  To the extent that shares remain available for purchase after satisfaction of all subscriptions received in the subscription offering, the shares may be offered for sale to the general public in a community offering and a syndicated community offering.  Upon completing the mutual-to-stock conversion and stock offering (the “second-step conversion”), the Company will be 100% owned by public shareholders, the publicly-held shares of CFFN will be exchanged for shares in the Company at a ratio that retains their ownership interest at the time the conversion is completed and the MHC assets will be consolidated with the Company.
 
RP® Financial, LC.
 
RP® Financial, LC. (“RP Financial”) is a financial consulting firm serving the financial services industry nationwide that, among other things, specializes in financial valuations and analyses of business enterprises and securities, including the pro forma valuation for savings institutions converting from mutual-to-stock form.  The background and experience of RP Financial is detailed in Exhibit V-1.  We believe that, except for the fee we will receive for our appraisal, we are independent of the Company, the Bank, the MHC and the other parties engaged by the Bank or the Company to assist in the stock conversion process.
 
Valuation Methodology
 
In preparing our Appraisal, we have reviewed the regulatory applications of the Company, the Bank and the MHC, including the prospectus as filed with the OTS and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  We have conducted a financial analysis of the Company, the Bank and the MHC that has included a review of audited financial information for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2005 through September 30, 2009 and a review of various unaudited information and internal financial reports through March 31, 2010, and due diligence related discussions with the Company’s management; Silver, Freedman, & Taff, L.L.P., the Company’s conversion counsel; and Sandler O’Neill & Partners, LLP, the Company’s marketing advisor in connection with the stock offering.  All assumptions and conclusions set forth in the Appraisal were reached independently from such discussions.  In addition, where appropriate, we have considered information based on other available published sources that we believe are reliable.  While we believe the information and data gathered from all these sources are reliable, we cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of such information.

We have investigated the competitive environment within which Capitol Federal Financial operates and have assessed Capitol Federal Financial’s relative strengths and weaknesses.  We have kept abreast of the changing regulatory and legislative environment for financial institutions and analyzed the potential impact on Capitol Federal Financial and the industry as a whole.  We have analyzed the potential effects of the stock conversion on Capitol Federal Financial’s operating characteristics and financial performance as they relate to the pro forma market value of Capitol Federal Financial.  We have analyzed the assets held by the MHC, which will be consolidated with Capitol Federal Financial’s assets and equity pursuant to the completion of the second-step conversion.  We have reviewed the economic and demographic characteristics of the Company’s primary market area.  We have compared Capitol Federal Financial’s financial performance and condition with selected publicly-traded thrifts in accordance with the Valuation Guidelines, as well as all publicly-traded thrifts and thrift holding companies.  We have reviewed the current conditions in the securities markets in general and the market for thrift stocks in particular, including the market for existing thrift issues, initial public offerings by thrifts and thrift holding companies, and second-step conversion offerings.  We have excluded from such analyses thrifts subject to announced or rumored acquisition, and/or institutions that exhibit other unusual characteristics.
 
The Appraisal is based on Capitol Federal Financial’s representation that the information contained in the regulatory applications and additional information furnished to us by Capitol Federal Financial, or its legal counsel and other authorized agents are truthful, accurate and complete.  We did not independently verify the financial statements and other information provided by Capitol Federal Financial, or its legal counsel and other authorized agents nor did we independently value the assets or liabilities of Capitol Federal Financial.  The valuation considers Capitol Federal Financial only as a going concern and should not be considered as an indication of Capitol Federal Financial’s liquidation value.
 
Our appraised value is predicated on a continuation of the current operating environment for Capitol Federal Financial and for all thrifts and their holding companies.  Changes in the local, state and national economy, the legislative and regulatory environment for financial institutions and mutual holding companies, the stock market, interest rates, and other external forces (such as natural disasters or significant world events) may occur from time to time, often with great unpredictability and may materially impact the value of thrift stocks as a whole or the value of Capitol Federal Financial’s’ stock alone.  It is our understanding that there are no current plans for selling control of Capitol Federal Financial following completion of the second-step conversion.  To the extent that such factors can be foreseen, they have been factored into our analysis.
 
The estimated pro forma market value is defined as the price at which Capitol Federal Financial’s common stock, immediately upon completion of the second-step stock offering, would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither

being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.
 
Valuation Conclusion
 
It is our opinion that, as of May 28, 2010, the estimated aggregate pro forma valuation of the shares of the Company to be issued and outstanding at the end of the conversion offering – including (1) newly-issued shares representing the MHC’s current ownership interest in the Company and (2) exchange shares issued to existing public shareholders of CFFN – was $2,409,742,180 at the midpoint, equal to 240,974,218 shares at $10.00 per share.  Based on regulation, the resulting range of value and pro forma shares, all based on $10.00 per share, are as follows:  $2,048,280,850 or 204,828,085 shares at the minimum and $2,771,203,510 or 277,120,351 shares at the maximum.
 
Based on this valuation and taking into account the ownership interest represented by the shares owned by the MHC, the midpoint of the offering range is $1,700,000,000, equal to 170,000,000 shares at $10.00 per share.  Based on regulation, the resulting offering range and offering shares, all based on $10.00 per share, are as follows:  $1,445,000,000, or 144,500,000 shares, at the minimum and $1,955,000,000 or 195,500,000 shares at the maximum.
 
Establishment of the Exchange Ratio
 
OTS regulations provide that in a conversion of a mutual holding company, the minority stockholders are entitled to exchange the public shares for newly issued shares in the fully converted company.  The Boards of Directors of the MHC, CFFN and the Bank have independently determined the exchange ratio, which has been designed to preserve the current aggregate percentage ownership in the Company held by the public shareholders.  The exchange ratio to be received by the existing minority shareholders of the Company will be determined at the end of the offering, based on the total number of shares sold in the subscription and syndicated offerings and the final appraisal.  Based on the valuation conclusion herein, the resulting offering value and the $10.00 per share offering price, the indicated exchange ratio at the midpoint is 3.2572 shares of the Company for every one public share held by public shareholders.  Furthermore, based on the offering range of value, the indicated exchange ratio is 2.7686 at the minimum and 3.7457 at the maximum.  RP Financial expresses no opinion on the proposed exchange of newly issued Company shares for the shares held by the public stockholders or on the proposed exchange ratio.
 
Limiting Factors and Considerations
 
The valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of the common stock.  Moreover,
 
 
 

 
 
Boards of Directors
May 28, 2010
Page 5
 
because such valuation is determined in accordance with applicable OTS regulatory guidelines and is necessarily based upon estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase shares of common stock in the conversion offering, or prior to that time, will thereafter be able to buy or sell such shares at prices related to the foregoing valuation of the estimated pro forma market value thereof.  The appraisal reflects only a valuation range as of this date for the pro forma market value of Capitol Federal Financial immediately upon issuance of the stock and does not take into account any trading activity with respect to the purchase and sale of common stock in the secondary market on the date of issuance of such securities or at anytime thereafter following the completion of the second-step conversion.
 
RP Financial’s valuation was based on the financial condition, operations and shares outstanding of Capitol Federal Financial as of March 31, 2010, the date of the financial data included in the prospectus.  The proposed exchange ratio to be received by the current public stockholders of CFFN and the exchange of the public shares for newly issued shares of Capitol Federal Financial’s common stock as a full public company was determined independently by the Boards of Directors of the MHC, CFFN and the Bank.  RP Financial expresses no opinion on the proposed exchange ratio to public stockholders or the exchange of public shares for newly issued shares.
 
RP Financial is not a seller of securities within the meaning of any federal and state securities laws and any report prepared by RP Financial shall not be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any securities.  RP Financial maintains a policy which prohibits RP Financial, its principals or employees from purchasing stock of its client institutions.
 
                This valuation will be updated as provided for in the conversion regulations and guidelines.  These updates will consider, among other things, any developments or changes in the financial performance and condition of Capitol Federal Financial, management policies, and current conditions in the equity markets for thrift shares, both existing issues and new issues.  These updates may also consider changes in other external factors which impact value including, but not limited to:  various changes in the legislative and regulatory environment for financial institutions, the stock market and the market for thrift stocks, and interest rates.  Should any such new developments or changes be material, in our opinion, to the valuation of the shares, appropriate adjustments to the estimated pro forma market value will be made.  The reasons for any such adjustments will be explained in the update at the date of the release of the

update.  The valuation will also be updated at the completion of Capitol Federal Financial’s stock offering.

 OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
I.1
 
I.  OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
 
Introduction
 
Capitol Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), founded in 1893, is a federally-chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Topeka, Kansas.  The Bank serves eastern and central Kansas, as well as western Missouri markets that are part of the metropolitan area of greater Kansas City.  Through a network of 45 full service branch offices, the Bank primarily serves the metropolitan areas of Topeka, Wichita, Lawrence, Manhattan, Emporia and Salina, Kansas and a portion of the metropolitan area of greater Kansas City.  The Bank is subject to regulation and oversight by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).  The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system, and its deposits are insured up to the regulatory maximums by the FDIC.
 
Capitol Federal Financial (“CFFN”) is the federally-chartered mid-tier holding company of the Bank.  CFFN owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of the Bank.  Since being formed in March 1999, CFFN has been engaged primarily in the business of holding the common stock of the Bank.  CFFN completed its initial public offering on March 31, 1999, pursuant to which it sold 37,807,183 shares or 41.3% of its outstanding common stock to the public and issued 52,192,817 share or 57.0% of its common stock outstanding to Capitol Federal Savings Bank MHC (the “MHC”), the mutual holding company parent of CFFN.  Additionally, the Bank contributed $15.1 million in cash and CFFN issued 1,512,287 shares of common stock or 1.7% of its common stock outstanding to the Capitol Federal Foundation (the “Foundation”).  The MHC and CFFN are savings and loan holding companies subject to regulation by the OTS.  At March 31, 2010, CFFN had total assets of $8.5 billion, deposits of $4.3 billion and equity of $946.1 million, or 11.15% of total assets.  CFFN’s audited financial statements for the most recent period are included by reference as Exhibit I-2.
 
Plan of Conversion and Reorganization
 
On May 5, 2010, the respective Boards of Directors of the MHC and CFFN
 
 
 

 
 
RP® Financial, LC.
 OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
I.2
 
adopted a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (the “Plan of Conversion”) whereby the MHC will convert to stock form.  As a result of the conversion, CFFN, which currently owns all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Bank, will be succeed by a Maryland corporation with the name of Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. (“Capitol Federal Financial” or the “Company”).  Following the conversion, the MHC will no longer exist.  For purposes of this document, the existing consolidated entity will hereinafter be referred to as Capitol Federal Financial or the Company.  As of March 31, 2010, the MHC’s ownership interest in Capitol Federal Financial approximated 70.55% and the public stockholders’ ownership interest in Capitol Federal Financial approximated 29.45%.
 
It is our understanding that Capitol Federal Financial will offer its stock, representing the majority ownership interest held by the MHC, in a subscription offering to Eligible Account Holders, Tax-Qualified Employee Stock Benefit Plans including the Bank’s employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”), Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Other Depositors, as such terms are defined for purposes of applicable federal regulatory requirements governing mutual-to-stock conversions.  To the extent that shares remain available for purchase after satisfaction of all subscriptions received in the subscription offering, the shares may be offered for sale to the general public in a community offering and a syndicated community offering.  Upon completing the mutual-to-stock conversion and stock offering (the “second-step conversion”), the Company will be 100% owned by public shareholders, the publicly-held shares of the Bank will be exchanged for shares in the Company at a ratio that retains their ownership interest at the time the conversion is completed and the MHC assets will be consolidated with the Company.
 
In connection with the second-step conversion, the Company will make a $40 million cash contribution to the Foundation.
 
Strategic Overview
 
Historically, the Company has implemented a traditional thrift strategy, in which the Company has emphasized the origination and purchase of 1-4 family first mortgage
 
 
 

 
 
RP® Financial, LC.
 OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
I.3
 
loans for investment funded principally by retail deposits generated through the branch network.  Capitol Federal Financial is consistently among the top 1-4 family lenders in the state of Kansas, based on loan volume.  In addition to originations, the Company supplements 1-4 family loan production through purchases of 1-4 family loans from correspondent lenders located within or adjacent to the Company’s lending markets and nationwide lenders.  Diversification into other types of lending or other types of services and products has been fairly limited.  As of March 31, 2010, 94.4% of total loans consisted of 1-4 family first mortgage loans.  In addition to retail deposits, the Company utilizes borrowings as an alternative funding source for purposes of managing funding costs and interest rate risk.  From time-to-time, the Company also utilizes a limited amount of brokered deposits as an alternative funding source.  The Company’s streamlined operations have facilitated operating expense levels that are significantly below industry norms.  At the same time, the limited diversification has also substantially limited revenues derived from non-interest sources.
 
The Company’s 1-4 family lending emphasis and implementation of consistent underwriting standards for both originated and purchased loans has supported maintenance of favorable credit quality measures.  In general, the Company’s underwriting standards are in accordance with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae underwriting guidelines.  While the Company has experienced some deterioration in credit quality in recent years, credit quality measures continue to reflect relatively low ratios for non-performing loans and non-performing assets.  The upward trend in non-performing loans experienced in recent years has been mostly related to the portfolio of purchased loans, particularly with respect to purchased loans that are secured by residences in markets that have been particularly hit hard by the recession and have experienced sharp declines in real estate values and high unemployment rates.  To mitigate the credit risk associated with the purchased loan portfolio, the Company seeks to attain geographic diversification of the purchased loan portfolio.  At March 31, 2010, loans purchased from nationwide lenders comprised 12% of the Company’s loan portfolio and were secured by properties in 47 of the continental United States and Washington, D.C.  In addition to seeking to mitigate the credit risk associated with the purchased loan portfolio, the purchased loans consist mostly of adjustable rate or 15-

year fixed rate loans to facilitate management of the Company’s interest rate risk exposure.
 
Investments serve as a supplement to the Company’s lending activities, with mortgage-backed securities accounting for the largest concentration of the Company’s investments.  Capitol Federal Financial’s other investment holdings include U.S. government sponsored enterprises, municipal bonds, trust preferred securities and FHLB stock.  In the prevailing interest rate environment, the Company has emphasized building up its liquidity position through investing in short-term U.S. government sponsored enterprises and increasing its level of cash and cash equivalents.
 
Deposits generated from residents within the Company’s primary market area have consistently served as the primary funding source for the Company’s lending and investment activities.  Certificate of deposits (“CDs”) comprise the largest portion of the Company’s deposit base, with the balance consisting of lower costing transaction and saving accounts.  Capitol Federal Financial utilizes borrowings as a supplemental funding source to facilitate management of funding costs and interest rate risk, with FHLB advances accounting for the largest portion of the Company’s borrowings.  Borrowings held by the Company also include repurchase agreements and a relatively modest balance of trust preferred debt.
 
Capitol Federal Financial’s earnings base is largely dependent upon net interest income and operating expense levels.  Net interest income has consistently been maintained at relatively low levels, as the result of narrow interest spreads reflective of a low risk interest-earning asset composition funded mostly with relatively high costing CDs and borrowings.
 
Operating expenses have been maintained at relatively low levels, reflecting efficiency in operations and relatively low personnel requirements for implementation of the Company’s operating strategy.  In particular, the Company maintains a high ratio of assets per employee, which is supported by the relatively lower staffing needs required for implementation of a traditional thrift operating strategy.  A funding composition concentrated in CDs and borrowings further support containment of operating expenses, given the lower servicing requirements of such funds relative to transaction

and savings accounts.  While the Company’s implementation of a fairly streamlined operating strategy has supported containment of operating expenses, it has also limited development of revenues from non-interest income sources.  Accordingly, income generated from such sources as fees and service charges has been a relatively modest contributor to the Company’s earnings.
 
A key component of the Company’s business plan is to complete a second-step conversion offering.  The Company’s strengthened capital position will support continued expansion of the branch network in desired growth markets.  Also, as a fully-converted institution, the Company’s greater capacity to offer stock as consideration may facilitate increased opportunities to grow through acquisition.  At this time, the Company has no specific plans for expansion through acquisition.
 
The post-offering business plan of the Company is expected to focus on operating and growing a profitable institution serving retail customers in local markets, as well as continuing to purchase loans from correspondent and nationwide lenders.  Specifically, Capitol Federal Financial will continue to be an independent community-oriented financial institution with a commitment to local real estate financing with operations funded by retail deposits, borrowings, equity capital and internal cash flows.  The additional capital realized from stock proceeds will increase liquidity to support funding of future loan growth and other interest-earning assets.  In the prevailing economic and credit environment, the Company’s higher post-conversion capital position represents a source of strength to absorb potential losses resulting from credit quality deterioration.  Capitol Federal Financial’s higher capital position resulting from the infusion of stock proceeds will also serve to reduce interest rate risk, particularly through enhancing the Company’s interest-earning assets/interest-bearing liabilities (“IEA/IBL”) ratio.  The additional funds realized from the stock offering will serve to raise the level of interest-earning assets funded with equity and, thereby, reduce the ratio of interest-earning assets funded with interest-bearing liabilities as the balance of interest-bearing liabilities will initially remain relatively unchanged following the conversion, which may facilitate a reduction in Capitol Federal Financial’s funding costs.  The projected uses of proceeds are highlighted below.

Capitol Federal Financial.  The Company is expected to retain up to 50% of the net offering proceeds.  At present, funds maintained by the Company, net of the loan to the ESOP and the $40 million cash contribution to the Foundation, are expected to be invested into short-term investment grade securities and liquid funds.  Over time, the funds may be utilized for various corporate purposes, possibly including acquisitions, infusing additional equity into the Bank, repurchases of common stock, and the payment of cash dividends.
 
 
o  
Capitol Federal Savings Bank.  Approximately 50% of the net stock proceeds will be infused into the Bank in exchange for all of the Bank’s stock.  Cash proceeds (i.e., net proceeds less deposits withdrawn to fund stock purchases) infused into the Bank are anticipated to become part of general operating funds, and are expected to be primarily utilized to fund loan growth over time.
 
Overall, it is the Company’s objective to pursue growth that will serve to increase returns, while, at the same time, growth will not be pursued that could potentially compromise the overall risk associated with Capitol Federal Financial’s operations.
 
Balance Sheet Trends
 
Table 1.1 shows the Company’s historical balance sheet data for the past five and one-half fiscal years.  From fiscal year end 2005 through March 31, 2010, Capitol Federal Financial’s assets showed little change during the period increasing at a 0.2% annual rate.  Since fiscal year end 2005, the most notable change in the Company’s interest-earning asset composition was a shift towards a higher concentration of investment securities offset by a decrease in the concentration of mortgage-backed securities.  On the liability side of the balance sheet, the level of deposits funding assets increased since fiscal year end 2005 which was attributable to deposit growth and the pay down of borrowings.  A summary of Capital Federal Financial’s key operating ratios for the past five and one-half fiscal years is presented in Exhibit I-3.
 
Loan growth trends generally paralleled assets growth trends, with loans decreasing at a 0.3% annual rate from fiscal year end 2005 through March 31, 2010.  Loans receivable equaled $5.4 billion or 63.4% of assets at March 31, 2010, versus comparable measures of $5.5 billion or 65.0% of assets at fiscal year end 2005.

 OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
I.8
 
Capitol Federal Financial’s traditional thrift strategy is highlighted by a loan portfolio composition that has consistently reflected a very high concentration of 1-4 family first mortgage loans.  The ratio of 1-4 family first mortgage loans to total loans equaled 94.4% at March 31, 2010, which was consistent with the ratio of 1-4 family loans comprising total loans over the past five and one-half fiscal years.   The Company’s limited loan diversification has consisted largely of home equity loans.  At March 31, 2010, home equity loans equaled 3.5% of total loans, versus a peak ratio of 4.1% at fiscal year end 2006.  Other areas of lending diversification for the Company at March 31, 2010 consisted substantially of multi-family and commercial real estate loans (1.3% of total loans versus a peak ratio of 1.4% at fiscal year end 2009) and construction loans (0.6% of total loans versus a peak ratio of 1.6% at fiscal year end 2008).  The Company’s loan portfolio also includes a relatively modest balance of consumer loans other than home equity loans, which have been maintained at approximately 0.2% of total loans over the past five and one-half fiscal years.
 
The intent of the Company’s investment policy is to provide adequate liquidity and to generate a favorable return within the context of supporting overall credit and interest rate risk objectives.   Recent trends in the composition of the Company’s investments show a decrease in mortgage-backed securities and an increase in other investment securities, where the Company has emphasized investing in short-term U.S. government sponsored enterprises as a means to strengthen liquidity and to manage interest rate risk.  Mortgage-backed securities comprise the largest portion of the Company’s investment holdings.  After reaching a peak balance of $2.2 billion or 27.7% of assets at fiscal year end 2008, the mortgage-backed securities balance trended lower and equaled $1.8 billion or 20.7% of assets at March 31, 2010.  Except for a small balance of privately issued collateralized mortgage obligations, the mortgage-backed securities portfolio consists entirely of securities guaranteed or insured by government sponsored enterprises.  The mortgage-backed securities portfolio was fairly evenly distributed between adjustable and fixed rate securities at March 31, 2010.  As of March 31, 2010, $1.2 billion of the mortgage-backed securities portfolio was maintained as available for sale and $544.3 million was maintained as held to maturity.  As of March

31, 2010, the net unrealized gain on mortgage-backed securities maintained as available for sale equaled $49.6 million.
 
Over the past five and one-half fiscal years, the Company’s level of cash and investment securities (inclusive of FHLB stock) ranged from a low of 4.6% of assets at fiscal year end 2008 to a high of 13.7% of assets at March 31, 2010.  Cash and investments totaled $1.2 billion at March 31, 2010.  As of March 31, 2010, the investment portfolio consisted of U.S. government sponsored enterprises ($895.5 million), municipal bonds ($71.9 million) and trust preferred securities ($3.1 million).  As of March 31, 2010, the Bank maintained a net unrealized loss of $109,000 on investment securities maintained as available for sale.  Exhibit I-4 provides historical detail of the Company’s investment portfolio.  Other investments held by Company at March 31, 2010 consisted of $135.1 million of FHLB stock.  The Company also held cash and cash equivalents amounting to $60.7 million or 0.7% of assets at March 31, 2010.
 
The Company also maintains an investment in bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) policies, which cover the lives of most of the Company’s management employees starting at the vice president level.  The purpose of the investment is to provide funding for the benefit plans of the covered individuals.  The life insurance policies earn tax-exempt income through cash value accumulation and death proceeds.  As of March 31, 2010, the cash surrender value of the Company’s BOLI equaled $54.0 million.
 
Over the past five and one-half fiscal years, Capitol Federal Financial’s funding needs have been addressed through a combination of deposits, borrowings and internal cash flows.  From fiscal year end 2005 through March 31, 2010, the Company’s deposits increased at a 2.0% annual rate.  Most of the Company’s deposit growth occurred during fiscal 2009, as the balance of deposits was maintained at a relatively stable level from fiscal year end 2005 through fiscal year end 2008.  Overall, deposits increased from $4.0 billion or 47.1% of assets at fiscal year end 2005 to $4.3 billion or 50.9% of assets at March 31, 2010.  CDs have consistently accounted for the largest concentration of the Company’s deposit composition; although, deposit growth since

fiscal year end 2007 has been largely sustained through growth of transaction account deposits.
 
Borrowings serve as an alternative funding source for the Company to address funding needs for growth and to support management of deposit costs and interest rate risk.  From fiscal year end 2005 through March 31, 2010, borrowings decreased at an annual rate of 2.5%.  Overall, borrowings decreased from $3.5 billion or 41.4% of assets at fiscal year end 2005 to $3.1 billion or 36.6% of assets at March 31, 2010.  FHLB advances constitute the primary source of borrowings utilized by the Company and in recent years FHLB advances have been supplemented with repurchase agreements.  Borrowings held by the Company generally have laddered maturities out to seven years.  The Company also maintained a relatively modest balance of trust preferred debt at March 31, 2010.
 
The Company’s equity increased at a 2.0% annual rate from fiscal year end 2005 through March 31, 2010, as retention of earnings was largely offset by capital management strategies that included payment of cash dividends and stock repurchases during the period covered in Table 1.1.  Capital growth combined with a slight increase in assets provided for an increase in the Company’s equity-to-assets ratio from 10.29% at fiscal year end 2005 to 11.15% at March 31, 2010.  All of the Company’s capital is tangible capital, and the Bank maintained capital surpluses relative to all of its regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 2010.  The addition of stock proceeds will serve to strengthen the Company’s capital position, as well as support growth opportunities.  At the same time, the significant increase in Capitol Federal Financial’s pro forma capital position will initially depress its ROE.
 
Income and Expense Trends
 
Table 1.2 shows the Company’s historical income statements for the past five fiscal years and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010.  The Company’s reported earnings over the past five fiscal years, ranged from $32.3 million or 0.41% of average assets in fiscal 2007 to $66.3 million or 0.81% of average assets in fiscal 2009.  For the twelve months ended March 31, 2010, the Company reported net income of

 OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
I.12
 
$67.9 million or 0.81% of average assets.  Net interest income and operating expenses represent the primary components of the Company’s earnings.  Non-interest operating income has been somewhat of a limited but stable source of earnings for the Company.  Loan loss provisions have become a more significant factor in the Company’s earnings over the past two and one-half fiscal years, while non-operating items typically have had a limited impact on the Company’s earnings over the past five and one-half fiscal years.
 
Over the past five and one-half fiscal years, the Company maintained a relatively low net interest income to average assets ratio ranging from a low of 1.35% during fiscal 2007 to a high of 2.15% during fiscal 2009.  For the twelve months ended March 31, 2010, the Company’s net interest income to average assets ratio equaled 2.11%.  The generally positive trend in the Company’s net interest income ratio since fiscal 2007 period reflects the favorable impact that the decline in short-term interest rates and resulting steeper yield curve has had on the Company’s interest rate spread.  Growth of comparatively lower costing transaction account deposits contributed to the improvement in the Company’s net interest rate spread as well, while increased investments in relatively low yielding short-term investment securities largely accounted for the slight decrease in the net interest income ratio during the most recent twelve month period.  The Company’s interest rate spread increased from 0.93% during fiscal 2007 to 1.86% during fiscal 2009, which was the result of a more significant decline in funding costs relative to yields earned on interest-earning assets.  Comparatively, the Company’s interest rate spread decreased nominally to 1.84% for the six months ended March 31, 2010, due to a slightly larger decrease in yields earned on interest-earning assets relative to funding costs.  The Company’s net interest rate spreads and yields and costs for the past five and one-half fiscal years are set forth in Exhibits I-3 and I-5.
 
Non-interest operating income has been a fairly stable, but somewhat limited, contributor to the Company’s earnings over the past five and one-half fiscal years, reflecting the Company’s limited diversification into products and services that generate non-interest operating income.  Throughout the period shown in Table 1.2, sources of non-interest operating income have ranged from a low of 0.28% of average assets during fiscal 2005 to a high of 0.37% of average assets during fiscal 2008.  For the

twelve months ended March 31, 2010, non-operating income was $26.4 million or 0.32% of average assets.  Retail fees and charges constitute the major portion of the Company’s non-operating revenues, with other non-operating sources of income consisting largely of insurance commissions, loan fees and income from BOLI.
 
Operating expenses represent the other major component of the Company’s earnings, ranging from a low of 0.87% of average assets during fiscal 2005 to a high of 1.14% of average assets during fiscal 2009 and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010.  Notwithstanding the upward trend in the Company’s operating expense ratio, the Company has effectively maintained a relatively low operating expense ratio throughout the period shown in Table 1.2.  As previously noted, the Company’s relative low operating expense ratio is supported by a current operating strategy that is not highly diversified and has limited staffing needs relative to total asset size.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s ratio of assets per full time equivalent employee equaled $12.4 million, versus $6.1 million for all publicly-traded thrifts.  The higher operating expenses recorded during fiscal 2009 and for the most recent twelve month period were mostly related to an increase in FDIC insurance premiums due to a special assessment and increases in regular quarterly deposit insurance premiums, an increase in advertising expense and an increase in net mortgage servicing activity.
 
Overall, the general trends in the Company’s net interest margin and operating expense ratio since fiscal 2005 reflect a slight decrease in core earnings, as indicated by the Company’s expense coverage ratio (net interest income divided by operating expenses).  Capitol Federal Financial’s expense coverage ratio equaled 2.12 times during fiscal 2005, versus a ratio of 1.85 times during the twelve months ended March 31, 2010.  The decrease in the expense coverage ratio resulted from a more significant increase in the operating expense ratio compared to the increase in the net interest income ratio.  Similarly, Capitol Federal Financial’s efficiency ratio (operating expenses, net of amortization of intangibles, as a percent of the sum of net interest income and other operating income) of 40.8% during fiscal 2005 was slightly more favorable than its efficiency ratio of 46.9% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010.

Over the past five and one-half fiscal years, loan loss provisions established by the Company ranged from a nominal amount during fiscal years 2005 through 2007 to a high of 0.12% of average assets during the twelve months ended March 31, 2010.  The higher loan provisions established during recent periods reflect an increase in non-performing loans, an increase in net loan charge-offs and the impact of the recession on the Company’s lending markets particularly with respect to some states where loans have been purchased.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company maintained valuation allowances of $14.7 million, equal to 0.27% of net loans receivable and 43.30% of non-accruing loans.  Exhibit I-6 sets forth the Company’s loan loss allowance activity during the past five and one-half fiscal years.
 
Non-operating income over the past five and one-half fiscal years has typically been somewhat of limited factor in the Company’s earnings, consisting substantially of gains and losses on the sale of investment securities and loans.  Net non-operating income over the past five and one-half fiscal years ranged from a nominal loss during fiscal 2007 to net gains of $8.2 million equal to 0.10% of average assets during the twelve months ended March 31, 2010.  The net gain recorded during the most recent twelve month period was mostly attributable to a $6.5 million gain realized on the sale of trading mortgage-backed securities, which were acquired in conjunction with a $194.8 million loan swap with Freddie Mac during the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  Overall, the various items that comprise the Company’s non-operating income are not viewed to be part of the Company’s core or recurring earnings base.
 
The Company’s effective tax rate ranged from 36.16% during the twelve months ended March 31, 2010 to 38.96% during fiscal 2007.  As set forth in the prospectus, the Company’s marginal effective statutory tax rate is 38.32%.
 
Interest Rate Risk Management
 
The Company’s balance sheet is liability-sensitive in the short-term (less than one year) and, thus, the net interest margin will typically be adversely affected during periods of rising and higher interest rates, as well as in the interest rate environment that generally prevailed during 2006 and 2007, in which the yield curve was flat or

inverted.  Comparatively, the Company’s net interest margin has benefited from recent interest rate trends, which has provided for a steeper yield curve as the result of a decline in short-term interest rates.  As of March 31, 2010, an analysis of the Company’s market value of portfolio equity (“MVPE”), defined as the net of the present value of the cash flows of an institution’s existing assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments, indicated that a 2.0% instantaneous increase, permanent and parallel change in interest rates at all maturities would result in a 20.92% decline in Capitol Federal Financial’s MVPE (see Exhibit I-7).
 
The Company pursues a number of strategies to manage interest rate risk, particularly with respect to seeking to limit the repricing mismatch between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities.  The Company manages interest rate risk from the asset side of the balance sheet through investing in securities with relatively short-terms to maturity, maintaining the majority of investments as available for sale, originating and purchasing adjustable rate loans, and underwriting loans so that they may be sold in the secondary market.  As of March 31, 2010, of the Company’s total loans due after March 31, 2011, ARM loans comprised 21.5% of those loans (see Exhibit I-8).  On the liability side of the balance sheet, management of interest rate risk has been pursued through utilizing FHLB advances and repurchase agreements with laddered terms out to seven years and emphasizing growth of lower costing and less interest rate sensitive transaction and savings account deposits.  Transaction and savings account deposits comprised 38.6% of the Company’s deposits at March 31, 2010.
 
The infusion of stock proceeds will serve to further limit the Company’s interest rate risk exposure, as most of the net proceeds will be redeployed into interest-earning assets and the increase in the Company’s capital position will lessen the proportion of interest rate sensitive liabilities funding assets.
 
Lending Activities and Strategy
 
Capitol Federal Financial’s lending activities have traditionally emphasized 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans, and such loans comprise the substantial portion of the Company’s loan portfolio.  Beyond 1-4 family loans, lending diversification by the

Company includes multi-family and commercial real estate loans, construction loans, home equity loans and other consumer loans.  Going forward, the Company’s lending strategy will continue to emphasize the origination and purchase of 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans.  Exhibit I-9 provides historical detail of Capitol Federal Financial’s loan portfolio composition over the past five years and one-half fiscal years and Exhibit I-10 provides the contractual maturity of the Company’s loan portfolio by loan type as of March 31, 2010.
 
The Company originates 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans throughout its markets served in the state of Kansas and in select markets in Missouri.  Originations of 1-4 family loans are supplemented with loan purchases from correspondent lenders located in the Company’s primary market area in Kansas and select markets in Missouri, and from nationwide lenders.  At March 31, 2010, loans purchased from nationwide lenders comprised 12% of total loans outstanding and were secured by properties located in 47 of the continental United States and Washington, D.C.  As of March 31, 2010, the largest concentrations of purchased loans from nationwide lenders were in the states of Illinois, Texas, New York, Florida and Colorado with each of those states comprising more than 5% of the nationwide purchased loans.  Loans originated and purchased by the Company are generally in accordance with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae underwriting guidelines.  The Company purchases 1-4 family loans and the related servicing rights from correspondent lenders on a loan-by-loan basis, while the servicing rights are generally retained by the lender for loan pools purchased from nationwide lenders.  The Company also sells loans for purposes of interest rate risk management and/or to maintain a certain liquidity position, with the Company generally retaining the servicing on those loans.  The Company’s 1-4 family loans are primarily fully amortizing loans with terms of up to 30 years.  Adjustable rate mortgage (“ARM”) loans are offered with either an initial repricing term of three, five or seven years and then reprice annually for the remainder of the loan term.  Loans purchased by the Company are predominantly adjustable rate or 15-year fixed rate loans.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s outstanding balance of 1-4 family loans equaled $5.1 billion or 94.4% of total loans outstanding.

 OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
I.17
 
Included in the 1-4 family loan portfolio at March 31, 2010 were $230.0 million of interest-only ARM loans, the majority of which were purchased from nationwide lenders during fiscal year 2005.  These loans do not typically require principal repayments during their initial term and have initial interest-only terms of either five or ten years.  The Company has not purchased any interest-only ARM loans since 2006 and discontinued offering the product in its local markets during 2008 to facilitate management of credit risk.  At March 31, 2010, $199.3 million, or 87%, of interest-only loans were still in their interest-only payment term.  Interest-only loans accounted for $17.8 million or approximately 52.3% of the Company’s non-performing loan balance at March 31, 2010.
 
The Company’s 1-4 family lending activities include home equity loans and home equity lines of credit.  Home equity lines of credit are floating rate loans indexed to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal.  The Company will originate home equity loans and lines of credit up to a maximum LTV ratio of 95.0%, inclusive of other liens on the property, but requires private mortgage insurance for loans that are greater than 80.0% of the value of the property.  Home equity loans and lines of credit may be offered for terms of up 20 years.  Other home equity lines of credit have no stated term-to-maturity and require a payment of 1.5% of the outstanding loan balance per month.  Interest-only home equity lines of credit have a maximum term of twelve months, monthly payments of accrued interest, and a balloon payment at maturity.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s outstanding balance of home equity loans and home equity lines of credit equaled $190.0 million or 3.5% of total loans outstanding.
 
Commercial real estate and multi-family loans are generally originated up to a maximum loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio of 80.0% and typically require a minimum debt-coverage ratio of 1.1 times.  Commercial real estate and multi-family loans are typically offered as 15 year balloon loans with either a fixed or adjustable interest rate and a maximum amortization period of 30 years.  Most of the commercial real estate and multi-family loans held  in the Company’s loan portfolio consist of loans originated by the Company, but also included a limited amount of purchased loan participations that are subject to the Company’s underwriting criteria.  Commercial real estate and multi-

family loans are secured by properties within the Company’s regional market area, which includes properties secured by mixed-use properties, office buildings, retail shopping centers and apartment buildings.  The largest commercial real estate loan in the Company’s loan portfolio at March 31, 2019 was a purchased loan participation secured by a retail shopping center in Kansas, which was performing in accordance with its terms at March 31, 2010.   The outstanding principal balance of the Company’s commitment was $8.1 million at March 31, 2010.   The Company’s largest outstanding loan was also part of its largest lending relationship to a single borrower or a group of related borrowers.  The Company’s largest lending relationship to a single borrower or a group of related borrowers at March 31, 2010 consisted of 17 multi-family real estate projects, one single-family home and four commercial real estate projects located in Kansas, Iowa and Texas.  Total commitments and loans outstanding to this group of related borrowers was $47.0 million as of March 31, 2010.  Most of the multi-family loans in the Company’s largest lending relationship qualify for the low income housing tax credit program.  All of the loans with the Company’s largest lending relationship were performing in accordance with their terms at March 31, 2010.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s commercial real estate and multi-family loan portfolio totaled $70.4 million or 1.3% of total loans outstanding.
 
Construction loans originated by the Company consist substantially of loans to finance the construction of 1-4 family residences, which are originated as construction/permanent loans.  The Company does not offer construction loans to builders for speculative purposes.  The construction and permanent loans are closed at the same time and require payment of interest only during the construction period.  All of the Company’s construction loans are secured by properties located in the Company’s primary market area.  As of March 31, 2010, Capitol Federal Financial’s outstanding balance of construction loans totaled $34.3 million or 0.6% of total loans outstanding.
 
Capitol Federal Financial’s diversification into non-mortgage loans has been limited to a relatively modest balance of consumer loans.   The consumer loan portfolio, exclusive of home equity loans and home equity lines of credit, consists substantially of

loans secured by deposits and auto loans.  The Company does not originate any consumer loans on an indirect basis.  As of March 31, 2010, the consumer loan portfolio totaled $8.5 million or 0.2% of total loans outstanding.
 
Exhibit I-11 provides a summary of the Company’s lending activities over the past three and one-half fiscal years.  Originations and purchases of 1-4 family first mortgage loans dominated the Company’s lending activities during the past three and one-half fiscal years, although growth of the loan portfolio was somewhat limited by a comparable amount of loan repayments and, to a lesser extent, loan sales.  Total loans originated ranged from $803.5 million during fiscal year 2007 to $1.1 billion during fiscal year 2009.  For the six months ended March 31, 2010, total loans originated equaled $340.9 million.  The large majority of loans originated during the three and one-half year period were fixed rate loans.  Total loans purchased, which includes loans purchased from correspondent lenders and nationwide lenders, ranged from $119.6 million during fiscal year 2008 to $333.4 million during fiscal year 2009.  For the six months ended March 31, 2010, total loans purchased equaled $91.5 million.  The majority of loans purchased consisted of adjustable rate loans.  Originations and purchases of 1-4 family loans accounted for 85% of total loans originated and purchased during the three and one-half year period ended March 31, 2010.  Overall, net loans receivable increased from $5.290 billion at fiscal year end 2007 to $5.381 billion at March 31, 2010.
 
Asset Quality
 
The Company’s historical 1-4 family lending emphasis and application of consistent underwriting standards that are in accordance with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guidelines have generally supported the maintenance of relatively favorable credit quality measures; although, with the onset of the national recession, the Company has experienced some credit quality deterioration in its loan portfolio during the past two and one-half fiscal years.  Over the past five and one-half fiscal years, Capitol Federal Financial’s balance of non-performing assets ranged from a low of 0.08% of assets at fiscal year end 2005 to a high of 0.48% of assets at March 31, 2010.  As shown in Exhibit I-12, non-performing assets at March 31, 2010 consisted of $34.0 million of non-

performing loans and $6.9 million of real estate owned.  Non-performing loans are non-accrual loans that are 90 days or more delinquent or are in the process of foreclosure.  Non-performing loans held by the Company at March 31, 2010 consisted almost entirely of 1-4 family loans, while 1-4 family properties accounted for the entire balance of real estate owned at March 31, 2010.  Purchased loans comprised 68.8% of the non-performing loan balance at March 31, 2010, with the states of Florida (non-performing loans of $3.6 million), Illinois (non-performing loans of $3.4 million) and Arizona (non-performing loans of $3.1 million) showing the largest concentrations of non-performing purchased loans at March 31, 2010.  Interest-only loans accounted for $17.8 million or 52.2% of the non-performing loan balance at March 31, 2010.
 
To track the Company’s asset quality and the adequacy of valuation allowances, Capitol Federal Financial has established detailed asset classification policies and procedures which are consistent with regulatory guidelines.  Classified assets are reviewed monthly by senior management and the Board.  Pursuant to these procedures, when needed, the Company establishes additional valuation allowances to cover anticipated losses in classified or non-classified assets.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company maintained loan loss allowances of $14.7 million, equal to 0.27% of net loans receivable and 43.30% of non-performing loans.
 
Funding Composition and Strategy
 
Deposits have consistently served as the Company’s primary funding source and at March 31, 2010 deposits accounted for 58.1% of Capitol Federal Financial’s interest-bearing funding composition.  Exhibit I-13 sets forth the Company’s deposit composition for the past three and one-half fiscal years.  CDs constitute the largest component of the Company’s deposit composition, although the concentration of CDs comprising total deposits has declined slightly since fiscal year end 2007.  As of March 31, 2010, the CD portfolio totaled $2.7 billion or 61.4% of total deposits, versus comparable measures of $2.5 billion and 63.8% of total deposits at fiscal year end 2007.  Capitol Federal Financial’s current CD composition reflects a higher concentration of short-term CDs (maturities of one year or less), with $1.5 billion or 57.3% scheduled to mature in one

year or less at March 31, 2010.  Exhibit I-14 sets forth the maturity schedule of the Company’s CDs as of March 31, 2010.  As of March 31, 2010, jumbo CDs (CD accounts with balances of $100,000 or more) amounted to $770.4 million or 29.1% of total CDs.  From time-to-time the Company has supplemented retail CDs with a limited amount of brokered CDs, although the Company did not maintain any brokered CDs at March 31, 2010.
 
The Company maintained $1.7 billion of savings and transaction account deposits at March 31, 2010, which equaled 38.6% of total deposits.  Comparatively, core deposits equaled $1.4 billion or 36.2% of total deposits at fiscal year end 2007.  Growth of core deposits since fiscal year end 2007 has been primarily sustained by growth of money market account and checking account deposits.  Money market deposits, which comprise the largest component of the Company’s core deposits, increased from $790.3 million or 55.6% of core deposits at fiscal year end 2007 to $934.1 million or 56.0% of core deposits at March 31, 2010.  Over the same time period, checking account deposits increased from $394.1 million or 27.7% of core deposits to $493.9 million or 29.6% of core deposits.
 
Borrowings serve as an alternative funding source for the Company to facilitate management of funding costs and interest rate risk.  Borrowings utilized by the Company have predominantly consisted of FHLB advances and repurchase agreements.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company maintained $2.4 billion of FHLB advances and $660.0 million of repurchase agreements.  FHLB advances and repurchase agreements held by the Company at March 31, 2010 had laddered maturities out to seven years, with a combined weighted average contractual rate of 3.83%.  The only other borrowing held by the Company at March 31, 2010 consisted of $53.6 million of trust preferred debt.  Interest on the trust preferred debt is payable quarterly, based on the three month LIBOR plus 275 basis points.  The trust preferred debt principal is due at the maturity date of April 7, 2034.  The Company was in compliance with all the covenants of its trust preferred debt at March 31, 2010.  Exhibit I-15 provides further detail of the Company’s borrowings activities during the past three and one-half fiscal years.

Introduction
 
Headquartered in Topeka, Kansas, Capitol Federal Financial serves eastern and central Kansas, as well as western Missouri markets that are part of the metropolitan area of Greater Kansas City.  The Company has a network of 45 branches, ten of which are in-store branches, located in nine counties throughout the state of Kansas and two counties in Missouri.
 
The Company primarily serves the metropolitan areas of Topeka, Wichita, Lawrence, Manhattan, Emporia and Salina, Kansas and the Greater Kansas City area, which includes Clay and Platte Counties in Missouri (where the Company recently opened a branch in each county).  The Company is one of the largest originators of 1-4 family loans in the state of Kansas and ranks first in deposit market share in the state of Kansas, with over 85% of the Company’s deposit market share within the Greater Kansas City and Wichita metro areas.
 
The northeastern portion of the state, extending from the Eastern border to Junction City and from the Nebraska border to south of Johnson County, is home to more than 1.5 million people on the Kansas side of Kansas City, Lawrence, and Topeka (where the Company is headquartered) metropolitan areas.  In the Greater Kansas City area, the cities in Johnson County have some of the fastest growing populations and highest median incomes in the state and the entire country.  Overland Park, where the Company currently has seven branches, has the largest population and the largest land area in the county.  It is home to Johnson County Community College, the state’s largest community college, and the corporate campus of Sprint Nextel, the largest private employer in the metro area.  The cities of Olathe, Shawnee, and Gardner have some of the state’s fastest growing populations.
 
Several institutions of higher education are located in Northeast Kansas including Baker University (the oldest university in the state) in Baldwin City, Ottawa University in Ottawa and Overland Park, and KU Medical Center in Kansas City.  Less than an hour’s

drive to the west, Lawrence is home to the University of Kansas, the largest public university in the state.  The Company has four branches in Lawrence, which is in Douglas County, Kansas.
 
To the west, nearly a quarter million people reside in the Topeka metropolitan area.  Topeka is the state capital and home to Washburn University.  Further westward along Interstate 70 and the Kansas River is Fort Riley, well-known as the home to the US Army’s 1st Infantry Division, also known as the “Big Red One.”  A short distance away, the city of Manhattan is home to Kansas State University, the second largest public university in the state and the nation’s oldest land-grant university.  The Company has two branches in Manhattan, Riley County, Kansas.
 
The Company’s primary market area is a mix of suburban, urban and rural markets.  The Greater Kansas City area is one of the fastest growing major job markets in the Midwest, with relatively low business and lifestyle costs serving to attract businesses to the market area.  In addition, the Wichita metro area provides financial, medical, and business services to more than half a million people, distinguishing the area as the economic center of south-central Kansas.  With operations in the most densely populated markets in Kansas and the Greater Kansas City metropolitan area, the Company’s competitive environment includes thrifts, commercial banks and other financial services companies, some of which have a regional or national presence.  The regional economy is highly diversified.  Notably, manufacturing employment accounts for nearly double the national percentage in the Wichita metro area, in large part due to the high concentration of aircraft manufacturing firms in the area.  Nevertheless, the local economy has felt the impact of the national recession, as evidenced by rising unemployment and declining real estate values throughout the markets served by the Company.
 
Future growth opportunities for Capitol Federal Financial depend on the future growth and stability of the local and regional economy, demographic growth trends, and the nature and intensity of the competitive environment.  These factors have been briefly examined to help determine the growth potential that exists for the Company, the relative economic health of the Company’s market area, and the resultant impact on value.

National Economic Factors
 
The future success of the Company’s operations is partially dependent upon national economic factors and trends.  In assessing economic trends over past few quarters, signs that the U.S. economy was pulling out of the recession became more evident at the start of the third quarter of 2009.  However, overall economic conditions remained weak.  The July 2009 employment report showed the fewest job losses in a year and the unemployment rate dipped to 9.4%, its first decline in nine months.  Retail sales were down slightly in July, raising concerns over the durability of the recovery.  However, sales of existing homes jumped 7.2% in July, the fastest pace in nearly two years.  July new home sales were up sharply as well, which supported a 4.9% increase in July durable-goods orders.  August economic data generally indicated that the recession was nearing an end, as manufacturing output grew for the first time since January 2008 and the “cash for clunkers” program fueled a rebound in August retail sales.  August employment data showed fewer than expected job losses, while the unemployment rate rose to a 26 year high of 9.7%.  The index of leading indicators rose for the fifth straight month in August, providing another sign of recovery.  Second quarter GDP declined at a 0.7% annualized rate, which was better than the 1% decline previously estimated.  Other economic data suggested an uneven recovery, as existing home sales slid in August and consumer confidence fell in September.  Manufacturing and service sector activity both grew in September, while the U.S. unemployment rate rose to 9.8% in September as employers cut more jobs than expected.  As job losses continued to mount, vacancy rates for commercial office space continued to increase during the third quarter.  Retail sales fell in September from August as the “cash for clunkers’ program ended, however, excluding autos, retail sales increased slightly in September.  New home sales fell in September, while orders for durable goods increased in September.  Third quarter GDP increased at a 3.5% annual rate (subsequently revised to 2.2%), marking an apparent end to the recession.  Notably, a large portion of GDP growth in the third quarter was generated through federal stimulus programs, bringing into question the sustainability of the recovery without government support.

October 2009 showed further signs of an economic recovery, even as the labor market continued to struggle.  U.S. manufacturing activity expanded for the third month in a row in October, while a net loss of 190,000 jobs in October pushed the October unemployment rate up to 10.2%.  Retail sales and the index of leading economic indicators both rose in October, while housing data was mixed raising doubts about the strength of the sector’s recovery.  New home starts tumbled in October, while sales of existing home showed a strong increase in October.  Signs of a slow and uneven economic recovery continued to be reflected in the November data.  Manufacturing activity continued to grow in November, while the service sector contracted in November after growing in October.  Employment data for November reflected the fewest number of job losses since December 2007, which reduced the unemployment rate to 10.0%.  The Federal Reserve’s “beige book” released in early-December showed the economy improving moderately, with consumer spending up but commercial real estate weakening.  Additional evidence that strength was returning to the economy included a healthy rise in November durable goods orders and manufacturing activity in December expanding at its fastest pace in more than three years.  Sales of existing homes were up solidly in November, although construction spending in November was down slightly.  Manufacturing activity expanded in December at its fastest pace in more than three years, while the service sector recorded only modest growth in December.  Job losses were significantly higher than expected in December, dashing hopes of a near term turnaround in employment.  Employers cut 85,000 jobs in December, while the December unemployment rate held steady at 10.0%.  The index of leading economic indicators rose 1.1% from November to December for its ninth straight month of gains, while housing data for December was less favorable with both new and existing home sales declining in December.  The decline in home sales in December was in part related to a surge in home sales during the fall, as first-time home buyers raced to take advantage of a tax credit before it expired.  Fourth quarter GDP increased at an annual rate of 5.7% (subsequently revised to 5.6%), although much of the growth was tied to companies replenishing low inventories that typically only provides a temporary bump in growth.
 
Manufacturing activity rose for a sixth straight month in January 2010, with the rate of expansion at its highest point since August 2004.  Comparatively, service sector activity

remained stable in January.  Payrolls unexpectedly fell in January with the loss of 20,000 jobs, but the January unemployment rate surprisingly dropped to a five month low of 9.7%.  Retail sales were up in January, although consumer confidence fell in February.  Sales of existing homes fell in January and orders for durable goods showed weakness in January, underscoring the uneven progress of the U.S. recovery.  The manufacturing and service sectors both showed expansion in February, while the February unemployment rate remained unchanged at 9.7%.  The February unemployment report showed a loss of 36,000 jobs, which was fewer than expected.  New and existing home sales were lower in February compared to January, but retail sales continued to show an increase for February.  U.S. manufacturing and nonmanufacturing activity continued to grow in March, while the March unemployment rate held steady at 9.7%.  Employers added 162,000 jobs in March, but almost one-third of the jobs came from the government’s hiring for the census.  A surge in March retail sales and home construction increasing for a third straight month in March provided evidence that the economic recovery was gaining traction.  Other signs of the economy gaining momentum included an increase in March existing home sales and a healthy rise in the March index of leading economic indicators.  The initial estimate for first quarter GDP growth showed the economy expanded at an annualized rate of 3.2%.
 
Positive trends in the economic recovery continued in the second quarter of 2010, as manufacturing activity and retail sales were up in April.  The April employment report showed employers added 290,000 jobs, which was more than expected.  At the same time, the April unemployment rate increased to 9.9%.  Single-family housing starts surged in April, as builders stepped up production ahead of the April 30 deadline for sales qualifying for a federal tax rate.  Likewise, sales of existing and new homes showed healthy increases in April, which was also believed in a large part related to home buyers seeking to take advantage of the federal tax credit that was due to expire at the end April.  Orders for durable goods rose 2.9% in April, while consumer spending remained flat in April.
 
In terms of interest rate trends during the past few quarters, interest rates eased lower at the start of the third quarter of 2009 as investors shunned risk ahead of second

quarter earnings reports.  Some economic data showing an improving economy and growing belief that the recession was nearing an end pushed long-term Treasury yields up slightly heading into late-July.  The upward trend in interest rates continued into the first week of August, as interest rates edged higher following the better-than-expected employment report for July.  Long-term Treasury yields eased lower going into the second half of August, as the Federal Reserve concluded its mid-August meeting leaving its key short-term rate near zero and indicated it would stay there for the foreseeable future.  Weaker than expected retail sales for July and a decline in July wholesale prices further contributed to the pull back in interest rates.  Long-term Treasury yields reversed course after mid-August on the stronger than expected report for July existing home sales.  Interest rates stabilized in late-August and remained relatively stable through most of September, as inflation worries remained low amid high unemployment and slack in the economy.  News that consumer confidence fell in September pushed Treasury yields lower at the end of the third quarter.
 
Mixed economic data and no apparent threat of inflationary pressures supported a stable interest rate environment at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2009, providing for the continuation of a relatively steep yield curve.  Interest rates remained stable through the balance of October, reflecting uncertainty over the sustainability of the economic recovery with consumer confidence declining for the second month in a row.  The Federal Reserve concluded its early-November meeting by keeping its target interest rate near zero, which along with the weaker than expected employment report for October sustained a stable interest rate environment into mid-November.  Long-term Treasury yields eased lower heading into the second half of November, following comments by the Federal Reserve Chairman that unemployment and troubles in commercial real estate would weigh on the recovery.  Long-term Treasury yields dipped in late-November following news of the credit crisis in Dubai.  A better than expected jobs report for November moved interest rates higher in early-December.  Following the Federal Reserve’s mid-December meeting and decision to hold its target interest rate steady, the spread between short-term and long-term Treasury yields widened further in the final weeks of 2009 as long-term Treasury yields edged higher amid signs that the U.S. economy was improving.

Interest rates stabilized at the start of 2010 and then edged lower in heading into the second half of January, reflecting uncertainty on the strength of the recovery.  The Federal Reserve’s two day meeting in late-January concluded with no change in its key rate target, but offered a slightly rosier economic outlook in its statement.  A rise in January consumer confidence, along with the Federal Reserve’s more upbeat assessment of the economy, provided for a slight upward trend in long-term Treasury yields in late-January.  Worries that Greece’s debt woes were spreading across Europe and job losses reflected in the January employment report pushed Treasury yields lower in late-January and into early-February.  Some positive economic data regarding home prices and industrial output pushed interest rates higher heading in mid-February.  Treasury yields rose in mid-February on the Federal Reserve’s decision to raise the discount rate, spurring thoughts of tighter credit for borrowers in general.  Weak economic data and indications from the Federal Reserve that short-term interest rates would remain near zero for at least several months pushed long-term Treasury yields lower at the close of February.  Comparatively, long-term Treasury yields eased higher during the first half of March, based on better-than-expected reports for February employment data and retail sales.  Interest rates stabilized in mid-March following the Federal Reserve’s mid-March meeting, as the Federal Reserve held its target rate steady and signaled that it would be at least several months before they raise short-term interest rates.  Weak demand for an auction of five year Treasury notes and debt worries translated into long-term Treasury yields edging higher at the close of the first quarter.
 
Signs of the economic recovery gaining traction pushed Treasury yields higher at the start of the second quarter of 2010, with the 10-year Treasury note yield increasing to 4.0% in early-April.  Treasury yields eased lower in mid-April and then were relatively stable for the balance of April, as the consumer price index for March indicated that inflation remained muted and the Federal Reserve concluded its late-April meeting with keeping its target interest rate near zero.  Investors fled to the safety of U.S. Treasury debt in early-May amid worries about possible ripple effects form Greece’s credit crisis, with the yield on the 10-year Treasury note moving below 3.5% during the first week of May.  April’s producer price index reflecting a low level of inflation at the wholesale level and concerns about the U.S. economy on news that mortgage delinquencies hit a record in the

first quarter furthered the decline in long-term Treasury yields in mid-May.  The downward trend in long-term Treasury yields continued into late-May, as investors moved to the safety of Treasury bonds amid worries about the health of the global economy and growing tensions between North and South Korea.  As of May 28, 2010, the bond equivalent yields for U.S. Treasury bonds with terms of one and ten years equaled 0.34% and 3.31%, respectively, versus comparable year ago yields of 0.48% and 3.67%.  Exhibit II-1 provides historical interest rate trends.
 
Based on the consensus outlook of 46 economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal in late-April and early-May of 2010, the economy is expected to expand around 3.2% for 2010 and 2011.  GDP growth is not expected to make a significant dent in the unemployment rate, as the surveyed economists on average expected the unemployment rate to only fall to 9.4% by the end of 2010.  On average, the respondents said the Federal Reserve would raise its benchmark lending rate to 0.5% at the end of 2010, versus a current rate of between zero and 0.25%.
 
Market Area Demographics
 
Demographic and economic growth trends, measured by changes in population, number of households, age distribution and median household income, provide key insight into the health of the market area served by Capitol Federal Financial (see Table 2.1).
 
The Greater Kansas City and Wichita metropolitan areas are relatively densely populated markets, ranking among the largest populations in Kansas.  Specifically, Johnson County has the largest population out of the 11 market area counties served by the Company and is the largest county in the state, reporting a population of approximately 544,000 residents in 2009.  Lyon County, where the Company has one branch in Emporia, reported the smallest population of counties served by the Company in Kansas with 36,000 residents.
 
The primary market area counties served by Capitol Federal Financial showed varied demographic growth trends during the 2000 to 2009 period.  Population and household growth rates for the majority of the primary market area counties have been and are projected to remain below the comparable U.S. measures, while approximating or

falling slightly below their comparable state growth rates.  Comparatively, Douglas and Johnson Counties in Kansas and Clay and Platte Counties in Missouri showed population and household growth rates exceeding the comparable U.S. measures.  Among the primary market area counties, population and household growth rates were the strongest in Johnson County (where the Company maintains 19 branches).  Population and household growth rates for Clay and Platte Counties in Missouri were slightly below the comparable growth rates for Johnson County, but reported much higher growth rates than the statewide growth rates for Missouri.  Annual population growth rates for the market area counties covering the 2000 to 2009 period, ranged from 2.1% in Johnson County to a decline in population of 0.2% in Wyandotte County.  Both Johnson and Wyandotte Counties are part of the Greater Kansas City area.  In comparison, the states of Kansas and Missouri reported 2000 to 2009 annual growth rates of 0.6% and 0.8%, respectively, which fell slightly below the nationwide growth rate of 1.1%.  Population and household growth rates for the primary market area counties are projected to slow slightly over the next five years, which is consistent with the statewide and national forecasts.
 
Income measures show Johnson, Sedgwick, and Butler Counties are relatively affluent markets, as those counties reported income measures above the national and statewide income measures.  Clay and Platte Counties in Missouri also reported income measures above the national and statewide measures.  The primary market area counties generally experienced income growth rates that were in line with the state and national growth rates for the 2000 through 2009 period.  Consistent with the projected income growth rates for Kansas, Missouri, and the U.S., income growth rates for the primary market area counties are projected to decrease over the next five years.  The affluence of the Johnson County market is further evidenced by a comparison of household income distribution measures, as Johnson County maintains the lowest percentage of households with incomes of less than $25,000 and the highest percentage of households with incomes over $100,000 relative to the other market area counties as well as the U.S., Kansas, and Missouri.

The markets served by the Company have relatively diverse economies and because the Company’s market area is large and primarily in Kansas, we have looked at employment by sector for the state of Kansas.  Employment data, shown in Table 2.2, shows that employment in services constitutes the primary source of employment in the state of Kansas.  Government jobs were the second largest source of employment, followed by wholesale/retail trade and manufacturing, with those four sectors of employment making up for three-fourths of employment in the state of Kansas.

As previously noted, the Wichita metropolitan area has a high concentration of manufacturing employment with the aerospace industry providing the foundation for a large portion of manufacturing employment in Wichita.  While manufacturing jobs tied to the aerospace industry represent a major component of the Wichita economy, the overall economy has also come to reflect diversity as there are approximately 15,000 business establishments in the Wichita metro area, 97% of which are small-to medium-sized firms with less than 100 employees .  The major employers in the Wichita area are provided in Table 2.4.

The Company’s lending markets have been adversely affected by the recession, although not as severely as some bubble markets in the southeast and west regions of the U.S. where rapidly escalating home prices fueled speculative overbuilding that ultimately led to significant inventories of unsold homes and a severe drop in home prices.  Home prices in the Greater Kansas City market reached a peak in the second quarter of 2007 and are projected to trough in the third quarter of 2011 before returning to the previous peak in 2013, which is much sooner than the rebounds forecasted for bubble states such as California, Florida, and Nevada.  Home prices in the Greater Kansas City area are projected to fall 6.6% from peak to trough, a much less precipitous fall than in the

aforementioned bubble markets.  The Wichita housing market is also showing some improvement, as home sales are up 23% from last year and average home prices are expected to increase by 2.1% in 2010.
 
Unemployment Trends
 
Comparative unemployment rates for the primary market area counties, as well as for the U.S. and the states of Kansas and Missouri, are shown in Table 2.5.  Unemployment rates for the primary market area counties provide further evidence of the relatively stable nature of the Company’s market area economy.  The March 2010 unemployment rates ranged from 4.6% in Riley County, Kansas to 10.6% in Wyandotte County, Kansas.  March 2010 unemployment rates for ten out of the eleven market area counties were below the comparable U.S. unemployment rate of 10.2%.  Except for Butler, Sedgwick and Wyandotte Counties, all of the March 2010 unemployment rates for the market area counties in Kansas were below the statewide unemployment rate of 6.9%.  Likewise, the March 2010 unemployment rates for Clay and Platte Counties were below the Missouri unemployment rate of 10.2%.  However, evidence of the recession impacting the regional economy is reflected in the higher unemployment rates shown for the majority of the market area counties as of March 2010 compared to a year ago, consistent with the state and national trends.  At the same time, three of the market area counties showed lower unemployment rates for March 2010 compared to March 2009.

Market Area Deposit Characteristics and Competition
 
The Company’s retail deposit base is closely tied to the eastern and central Kansas and western Missouri markets, and, in particular, the markets that are nearby to the Company’s branch locations.  Table 2.6 displays deposit market trends from June 30, 2005 through June 30, 2009 for the primary market counties currently served by the Company’s branch network.  Additional data is also presented for the states of Kansas and Missouri.  The data indicates that total deposits maintained by commercial banks and savings institutions increased in all but one of the market area counties during the four year period, as the growth rates ranged from a decline of 1.2% in Sedgwick County to growth of 7.5% in Riley County.  In comparison to the 4.6% deposit growth rate exhibited for the state of Kansas, Johnson, Riley, and Saline Counties showed higher deposit growth rates than the state of Kansas.  Similar to the state of Kansas, commercial banks in Missouri maintained a larger market share of deposits than savings institutions in all of the Company’s market area counties as of June 30, 2009.  During the period covered in Table 2.6, savings institutions experienced a decrease in deposit market share in all of market counties except for Clay County in Missouri.
 
Capitol Federal’s highest market share of deposits is in Shawnee County, where the Company maintains its main office and six branch office locations.  The Company’s

$1.3 billion of deposits at the Shawnee County branches represented a 30.9% market share of bank and thrift deposits at June 30, 2009.  Johnson County, where the Company maintains its largest branch presence and highest balance of deposits, accounted for $1.8 billion of the Company’s deposits and an 11.7% market share of total Johnson County bank and thrift deposits at June 30, 2009.  From June 30, 2005 through June 30, 2009, the Company experienced a decrease in deposit market share in six out of the eight counties where branches were maintained during that period.  The Company’s branch locations in Butler, Clay and Platte Counties were opened subsequent to June 30, 2009.
 
Financial institution competitors in the Company’s primary market area include other locally based thrifts and banks, as well as regional, super regional and money center banks.  From a competitive standpoint, Capitol Federal Financial has sought to emphasize its community orientation in the markets served by its branches.  Table 2.7 lists the Company’s largest competitors in the counties currently served by its branches, based on deposit market share as noted parenthetically.  The Company’s deposit market share and market rank have also been provided in Table 2.7.  Capitol Federal Financial maintained a leading market share of deposits among bank and thrift competitors in the counties of Johnson, Shawnee, Douglas and Lyon, based on deposit market share at June 30, 2009.

RP® Financial, LC.   PEER GROUP ANALYSIS
   III.1
 
III.  PEER GROUP ANALYSIS
 
This chapter presents an analysis of Capitol Federal Financial’s operations versus a group of comparable savings institutions (the “Peer Group”) selected from the universe of all publicly-traded savings institutions in a manner consistent with the regulatory valuation guidelines.  The basis of the pro forma market valuation of Capitol Federal Financial is derived from the pricing ratios of the Peer Group institutions, incorporating valuation adjustments for key differences in relation to the Peer Group.  Since no Peer Group can be exactly comparable to Capitol Federal Financial, key areas examined for differences are:  financial condition; profitability, growth and viability of earnings; asset growth; primary market area; dividends; liquidity of the shares; marketing of the issue; management; and effect of government regulations and regulatory reform.
 
Peer Group Selection
 
The Peer Group selection process is governed by the general parameters set forth in the regulatory valuation guidelines.  Accordingly, the Peer Group is comprised of only those publicly-traded savings institutions whose common stock is either listed on a national exchange (NYSE or AMEX), or is NASDAQ listed, since their stock trading activity is regularly reported and generally more frequent than non-publicly traded and closely-held institutions.  Institutions that are not listed on a national exchange or NASDAQ are inappropriate, since the trading activity for thinly-traded or closely-held stocks is typically highly irregular in terms of frequency and price and thus may not be a reliable indicator of market value.  We have also excluded from the Peer Group those companies under acquisition or subject to rumored acquisition, mutual holding companies and recent conversions, since their pricing ratios are subject to unusual distortion and/or have limited trading history.  A recent listing of the universe of all publicly-traded savings institutions is included as Exhibit III-1.
 
Ideally, the Peer Group, which must have at least 10 members to comply with the regulatory valuation guidelines, should be comprised of locally- or regionally-based

   III.2
 
institutions with comparable resources, strategies and financial characteristics.  There are approximately 144 publicly-traded institutions nationally and, thus, it is typically the case that the Peer Group will be comprised of institutions with relatively comparable characteristics.  To the extent that differences exist between the converting institution and the Peer Group, valuation adjustments will be applied to account for the differences.  Since Capitol Federal Financial will be a full public company upon completion of the offering, we considered only full public companies to be viable candidates for inclusion in the Peer Group.  From the universe of publicly-traded thrifts, we selected ten institutions with characteristics similar to those of Capitol Federal Financial.  It should be noted that other than Capitol Federal Financial, there are no publicly-traded thrifts based in Kansas.  In the selection process, we applied two “screens” to the universe of all public companies that were eligible for consideration:
 
 
o  
Screen #1  Midwest institutions with assets between $2.5 billion and $15 billion, tangible equity-to-assets ratios of greater than 6.0% and positive earnings.  One company met the criteria for Screen #1 and it was included in the Peer Group:  Bank Mutual Corp. of Wisconsin.  Exhibit III-2 provides financial and public market pricing characteristics of all publicly-traded Midwest thrifts.
 
 
o  
Screen #2  All U.S. institutions, except for the Midwest region, with assets between $2.5 billion and $15 billion, tangible equity-to-assets ratios of greater than 6.0% and positive earnings.  Nine companies met the criteria for Screen #2 and all nine were included in the Peer Group:  Brookline Bancorp of Massachusetts, Danvers Bancorp of Massachusetts, Dime Community Bancshares of New York, First Financial Holdings Inc. of South Carolina, Flushing Financial Corp. of New York, NewAlliance Bancshares of Connecticut, Provident NY Bancorp, Inc. of New York, TrustCo Bank Corp.

   III.4
 
 present a comparison of Capitol Federal Financial’s financial condition, income and expense trends, loan composition, interest rate risk and credit risk versus the Peer Group as of the most recent publicly available date.
 
In addition to the selection criteria used to identify the Peer Group companies, a summary description of the key comparable characteristics of each of the Peer Group companies relative to Capitol Federal Financial’s characteristics is detailed below.
 
o

o  
TrustCo Bank Corp. NY of New York.  Selected due to similar interest-earning asset composition, comparable return on average assets, relatively low level of operating expenses and relatively high concentration of assets maintained in mortgage-backed securities and 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans.
 
o

Ideally, the Peer Group companies would be comparable to Capitol Federal Financial in terms of all of the selection criteria, but the universe of publicly-traded thrifts does not provide for an appropriate number of such companies.  However, in general, the companies selected for the Peer Group were fairly comparable to Capitol Federal Financial, as will be highlighted in the following comparative analysis.

Financial Condition
 
Table 3.2 shows comparative balance sheet measures for Capitol Federal Financial and the Peer Group, reflecting the expected similarities and some differences given the selection procedures outlined above.  The Company’s and the Peer Group’s ratios reflect balances as of March 31, 2010, unless indicated otherwise for the Peer Group companies.  Capitol Federal Financial’s equity-to-assets ratio of 11.2% was below the Peer Group’s average net worth ratio of 12.0%.  However, with the infusion of the net conversion proceeds, the Company’s pro forma equity-to-assets ratio will exceed the Peer Group’s equity-to-assets ratio.  Tangible equity-to-assets ratios for the Company and the Peer Group equaled 11.2% and 9.8%, respectively.  The increase in Capitol Federal Financial’s pro forma capital position will be favorable from a risk perspective and in terms of future earnings potential that could be realized through leverage and lower funding costs.  At the same time, the Company’s higher pro forma capitalization will initially depress return on equity.  Both Capitol Federal Financial’s and the Peer Group’s capital ratios reflected capital surpluses with respect to the regulatory capital requirements, with the Company’s ratios currently approximating or exceeding the Peer Group’s ratios.  On a pro forma basis, the Company’s regulatory surpluses will become more significant than maintained by the Peer Group companies on average.
 
The interest-earning asset compositions for the Company and the Peer Group were somewhat similar, with loans constituting the bulk of interest-earning assets for both Capitol Federal Financial and the Peer Group.  The Company’s loans-to-assets ratio of 63.4% was slightly below the comparable Peer Group ratio of 66.7%.  Comparatively, the Company’s cash and investments-to-assets ratio of 34.4% exceeded the comparable ratio for the Peer Group of 26.8%.  Overall, Capitol Federal Financial’s interest-earning assets amounted to 97.8% of assets, which was above the comparable Peer Group ratio of 93.5%.  The Peer Group’s non-interest earning assets included bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) equal to 0.9% of assets and goodwill/intangibles equal to 2.2% of assets, while the Company maintained BOLI equal to 0.6% of assets and a zero balance of goodwill and intangibles.

RP® Financial, LC.   PEER GROUP ANALYSIS
   III.8
 
Capitol Federal Financial’s funding liabilities reflected a funding strategy that was somewhat similar to that of the Peer Group’s funding composition.  The Company’s deposits equaled 50.9% of assets, which was below the Peer Group’s ratio of 67.8%.  Comparatively, the Company maintained a higher level of borrowings than the Peer Group, as indicated by borrowings-to-assets ratios of 36.6% and 19.1% for Capitol Federal Financial and the Peer Group, respectively.  Total interest-bearing liabilities maintained by the Company and the Peer Group, as a percent of assets, equaled 87.5% and 86.9%, respectively.
 
A key measure of balance sheet strength for a thrift institution is its IEA/IBL ratio.  Presently, the Company’s IEA/IBL ratio is slightly higher than the Peer Group’s ratio, based on IEA/IBL ratios of 111.8% and 107.6%, respectively.  Accordingly, the additional capital realized from stock proceeds should serve to provide Capitol Federal Financial with an IEA/IBL ratio that further exceeds the Peer Group’s ratio, as the increase in capital provided by the infusion of stock proceeds will serve to raise the level of interest-earning assets funded with equity and, thereby, reduce the ratio of interest-earning assets funded with interest-bearing liabilities as the balance of interest-bearing liabilities will initially remain relatively unchanged following the conversion.
 
The growth rate section of Table 3.2 shows annual growth rates for key balance sheet items.  Capitol Federal Financial’s and the Peer Group’s growth rates are based on annual growth for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010, or the most recent twelve month period available for the Peer Group companies.  Capitol Federal Financial recorded asset growth of 2.6%, which was less than the Peer Group’s asset growth rate of 6.9%.  The Peer Group’s stronger asset growth was supported by acquisition related growth, as Danvers Bancorp, First Financial Holdings and Washington Federal completed acquisitions during the twelve month period.  Asset growth for Capitol Federal Financial was sustained through a 12.4% increase in cash and investments, which was partially offset by a 2.6% decrease in loans.  Asset growth for the Peer Group was sustained by a 4.7% increase in cash and investments and a 4.6% increase in loans.
 
 
 

 
 
RP® Financial, LC.   PEER GROUP ANALYSIS
   III.9
 
Asset growth for Capitol Federal Financial was funded largely through a 4.9% increase in deposits, which funded a 0.5% reduction in borrowings as well.  Asset growth for the Peer Group was funded through deposit growth of 12.9%, which also funded a 6.3% reduction in the Peer Group’s borrowings.  The Company’s capital increased by 3.2% during the twelve month period, versus an 11.0% increase in capital recorded by the Peer Group.  The Company’s post-conversion capital growth rate will initially be constrained by maintenance of a higher pro forma capital position.  Dividend payments and stock repurchases, pursuant to regulatory limitations and guidelines, could also potentially continue to slow the Company’s capital growth rate in the longer term following the stock offering.
 
Income and Expense Components
 
Table 3.3 displays statements of operations for the Company and the Peer Group.  The Company’s and the Peer Group’s ratios are based on earnings for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010, unless otherwise indicated for the Peer Group companies.  Capitol Federal Financial and the Peer Group reported net income to average assets ratios of 0.81% and 0.63%, respectively.  Lower ratios for operating expenses and loan loss provisions supported the Company’s higher return, which was partially offset by the Peer Group’s higher ratios for net interest income and non-interest operating income.  Non-operating gains and extraordinary items had a comparable impact on the Company’s and the Peer Group’s respective earnings.
 
The Peer Group’s stronger net interest margin was primarily realized through maintenance of a lower interest expense ratio and, to a lesser extent, a higher interest income ratio.  The Peer Group’s higher interest income ratio was supported by maintaining a higher overall yield earned on interest-earning assets (5.20% versus 4.85% for the Company), which was somewhat offset by the Company’s higher concentration of assets maintained in interest-earning assets.  Likewise, the Peer Group’s lower interest expense ratio was supported by a lower cost of funds (2.16% versus 2.99% for the Company), as the Company and the Peer Group maintained comparable levels of interest-bearing liabilities funding assets.  Overall, Capitol Federal

RP® Financial, LC.   PEER GROUP ANALYSIS
   III.11
 
 Financial and the Peer Group reported net interest income to average assets ratios of 2.11% and 3.02%, respectively.
 
The Company’s primary profitability advantage relative to the Peer Group is in its significantly lower level of operating expenses than the Peer Group.  For the period covered in Table 3.3, the Company and the Peer Group reported operating expense to average assets ratios of 1.14% and 2.17%, respectively (inclusive of amortization of intangible assets).  While the Peer Group’s operating expense ratio was well above the Company’s ratio, it was well below the average of all publicly-traded thrifts.  In general, the Company’s lower operating expense ratio is supported by the more limited staffing needs that result from implementation of a traditional thrift operating strategy, which emphasizes originating and purchasing 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities for investment.  The Company’s lower operating expense ratio also reflects fairly limited diversification of operations with respect to generating sources of non-interest operating income and a relatively low level of deposits funding assets which cost more to service than borrowings.  Consistent with the Company’s lower operating expense ratio and less diversified operations, Capitol Federal Financial maintained a comparatively lower number of employees relative to its asset size.  Assets per full time equivalent employee equaled $12.4 million for the Company, versus comparable measures of $8.0 million for the Peer Group and $6.1 million for all publicly-traded thrifts.
 
When viewed together, net interest income and operating expenses provide considerable insight into a thrift’s earnings strength, since those sources of income and expenses are typically the most prominent components of earnings and are generally more predictable than losses and gains realized from the sale of assets or other non-recurring activities.  In this regard, as measured by their expense coverage ratios (net interest income divided by operating expenses), the Company’s earnings were more favorable than the Peer Group’s.  Expense coverage ratios posted by Capitol Federal Financial and the Peer Group equaled 1.85x and 1.39x, respectively.
 
Sources of non-interest operating income provided a larger contribution to the Peer Group’s earnings, with such income amounting to 0.32% and 0.69% of Capitol

Federal Financial’s and the Peer Group’s average assets, respectively.  The Company’s relatively low earnings contribution realized from non-interest operating income is indicative of its limited diversification into areas that generate revenues from non-interest sources.  Taking non-interest operating income into account in comparing the Company’s and the Peer Group’s earnings, Capitol Federal Financial’s efficiency ratio (operating expenses, net of amortization of intangibles, as a percent of the sum of non-interest operating income and net interest income) of 46.9% was more favorable than the Peer Group’s efficiency ratio of 57.7%.
 
Loan loss provisions had a larger impact on the Peer Group’s earnings, with loan loss provisions established by the Company and the Peer Group equaling 0.12% and 0.77% of average assets, respectively.  The lower level of loan provisions established by the Company was consistent with its more favorable credit quality measures for non-performing loans and non-performing assets.
 
Non-operating items, consisting of net gains and extraordinary items, equaled 0.10% and 0.08% of average assets for the Company and the Peer Group, respectively.  Net gains recorded by the Company consisted of gains on the sale of securities and loans.  To the extent that gains have been derived through selling fixed rate loans into the secondary market, such gains may be considered to be an ongoing activity for an institution and, therefore, warrant some consideration as a core earnings factor for an institution.  However, loan sale gains are still viewed as a more volatile source of income than income generated through the net interest margin and non-interest operating income.  The Peer Group’s non-operating items consisted of extraordinary items equal to 0.08% of average assets, which are not considered part of an institution’s core earnings.
 
Taxes had a more significant impact on the Company’s earnings, as Capitol Federal Financial and the Peer Group posted effective tax rates of 36.16% and 28.91%, respectively.  As indicated in the prospectus, the Company’s effective marginal tax rate is equal to 38.32%.

Loan Composition
 
Table 3.4 presents data related to the Company’s and the Peer Group’s loan portfolio compositions (including the investment in mortgage-backed securities).  The Company’s loan portfolio composition reflected a significantly higher concentration of 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities compared to the Peer Group (81.1% of assets versus 41.6% for the Peer Group).  The Company maintained higher concentrations of 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities relative to the Peer Group’s ratios.  Loans serviced for others equaled 8.45% and 7.57% of the Company’s and the Peer Group’s assets, respectively, thereby indicating a fairly similar influence of loan servicing income on the Company’s and the Peer Group’s respective earnings.  Likewise, loan servicing intangibles were a comparable factor on the Company’s and the Peer Group’s balance sheets, equaling 0.05% of assets for both the Company and the Peer Group.
 
Diversification into higher yielding and higher risk types of loans was much more significant for the Peer Group, as the Peer Group’s lending diversification was greater for all loan types.  Consumer loans constituted the most significant area of lending diversification for the Company (2.3% of assets), followed by commercial real estate loans (0.8% of assets) and construction/land loans (0.4% of assets).  Comparatively, commercial real estate loans comprised the most significant area of lending diversification for the Peer Group (25.9% of assets), followed by commercial business loans (5.1% of assets), construction/land loans (3.8% of assets) and consumer loans (3.6% of assets).  Overall, the Peer Group’s slightly higher level of loans comprising assets, as well as significantly greater diversification into higher risk types of lending, translated into a higher risk weighted assets-to-assets ratio than maintained by the Company.  The Peer Group’s risk weighted assets-to-assets ratio equaled 63.3%, versus a comparable ratio of 41.9% for Capitol Federal Financial.

composition, Capitol Federal Financial’s interest rate risk characteristics were considered to be more favorable relative to the comparable measures for the Peer Group.  Most notably, the Company’s tangible equity-to-assets ratio and IEA/IBL ratio were above the Peer Group ratios.  Additionally, the Company maintained a lower level of non-interest earning assets compared to the Peer Group.  On a pro forma basis, the infusion of stock proceeds should serve to provide the Company with more significant comparative advantages over the Peer Group’s balance sheet interest rate risk characteristics, with respect to the increases that will be realized in Company’s equity-to-assets and IEA/IBL ratios.
 
To analyze interest rate risk associated with the net interest margin, we reviewed quarterly changes in net interest income as a percent of average assets for Capitol Federal Financial and the Peer Group.  In general, the relative fluctuations in the Company’s and the Peer Group’s net interest income to average assets ratios were considered to be fairly comparable and, thus, based on the interest rate environment that prevailed during the period analyzed in Table 3.5, Capitol Federal Financial and the Peer Group were viewed as maintaining a similar degree of interest rate risk exposure in their respective net interest margins.  The stability of the Company’s net interest margin should be enhanced by the infusion of stock proceeds, as the increase in capital will reduce the relative level of interest rate sensitive liabilities funding assets.
 
 
Credit Risk
 
Overall, based on a comparison of credit quality measures, the Company’s credit risk exposure was considered to be less significant than Peer Group’s.  As shown in Table 3.6, the Company’s non-performing assets/assets and non-performing loans/loans ratios equaled 0.48% and 0.63%, respectively, versus comparable measures of 1.77% and 2.78% for the Peer Group.  The Company’s and Peer Group’s loss reserves as a percent of non-performing loans equaled 43.30% and 86.27%, respectively.  Loss reserves maintained as percent of net loans receivable equaled 0.27% for the Company, versus 1.49% for the Peer Group.  Net loan charge-offs were

less significant for the Company, as net loan charge-offs for the Company and Peer Group equaled 0.05% of loans and 0.81% of loans, respectively.  Notably, the Peer Group’s average net loan charge-offs ratio was skewed upward by the significant net loan charge-offs recorded by First Financial Holdings, which equaled 5.59% of loans.  Comparatively, the Peer Group’s median net loan charge-offs equaled 0.27% of loans.
 
Summary
 
Based on the above analysis, RP Financial concluded that the Peer Group forms a reasonable basis for determining the pro forma market value of the Company.  Such general characteristics as asset size, capital position, interest-earning asset composition, funding composition, core earnings measures, loan composition, credit quality and exposure to interest rate risk all tend to support the reasonability of the Peer Group from a financial standpoint.  Those areas where differences exist will be addressed in the form of valuation adjustments to the extent necessary.

IV.  VALUATION ANALYSIS
 
Introduction
 
This chapter presents the valuation analysis and methodology, prepared pursuant to the regulatory valuation guidelines, and valuation adjustments and assumptions used to determine the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock to be issued in conjunction with the Company’s conversion transaction.
 
Appraisal Guidelines
 
The OTS written appraisal guidelines specify the market value methodology for estimating the pro forma market value of an institution pursuant to a mutual-to-stock conversion.  Pursuant to this methodology:  (1) a peer group of comparable publicly-traded institutions is selected; (2) a financial and operational comparison of the subject company to the peer group is conducted to discern key differences; and (3) a valuation analysis in which the pro forma market value of the subject company is determined based on the market pricing of the peer group as of the date of valuation, incorporating valuation adjustments for key differences.  In addition, the pricing characteristics of recent conversions, both at conversion and in the aftermarket, must be considered.
 
RP Financial Approach to the Valuation
 
The valuation analysis herein complies with such regulatory approval guidelines.  Accordingly, the valuation incorporates a detailed analysis based on the Peer Group, discussed in Chapter III, which constitutes “fundamental analysis” techniques.  Additionally, the valuation incorporates a “technical analysis” of recently completed stock conversions, particularly second-step conversions, including closing pricing and aftermarket trading of such offerings.  It should be noted that these valuation analyses cannot possibly fully account for all the market forces which impact trading activity and pricing characteristics of a particular stock on a given day.
 
 
 

 
 
RP® Financial, LC.
VALUATION ANALYSIS
IV.2
 
The pro forma market value determined herein is a preliminary value for the Company’s to-be-issued stock.  Throughout the conversion process, RP Financial will:  (1) review changes in Capitol Federal Financial’s operations and financial condition; (2) monitor Capitol Federal Financial’s operations and financial condition relative to the Peer Group to identify any fundamental changes; (3) monitor the external factors affecting value including, but not limited to, local and national economic conditions, interest rates, and the stock market environment, including the market for thrift stocks and Capitol Federal Financial’s stock specifically; and (4) monitor pending conversion offerings, particularly second-step conversions, (including those in the offering phase), both regionally and nationally.  If material changes should occur during the conversion process, RP Financial will evaluate if updated valuation reports should be prepared reflecting such changes and their related impact on value, if any.  RP Financial will also prepare a final valuation update at the closing of the offering to determine if the prepared valuation analysis and resulting range of value continues to be appropriate.
 
The appraised value determined herein is based on the current market and operating environment for the Company and for all thrifts.  Subsequent changes in the local and national economy, the legislative and regulatory environment, the stock market, interest rates, and other external forces (such as natural disasters or major world events), which may occur from time to time (often with great unpredictability) may materially impact the market value of all thrift stocks, including Capitol Federal Financial’s value, or Capitol Federal Financial’s value alone.  To the extent a change in factors impacting the Company’s value can be reasonably anticipated and/or quantified, RP Financial has incorporated the estimated impact into the analysis.
 
Valuation Analysis
 
A fundamental analysis discussing similarities and differences relative to the Peer Group was presented in Chapter III.  The following sections summarize the key differences between the Company and the Peer Group and how those differences affect the pro forma valuation.  Emphasis is placed on the specific strengths and weaknesses of the Company relative to the Peer Group in such key areas as financial condition,

profitability, growth and viability of earnings, asset growth, primary market area, dividends, liquidity of the shares, marketing of the issue, management, and the effect of government regulations and/or regulatory reform.  We have also considered the market for thrift stocks, in particular new issues, to assess the impact on value of the Company coming to market at this time.
 
1.            Financial Condition
 
   The financial condition of an institution is an important determinant in pro forma market value because investors typically look to such factors as liquidity, capital, asset composition and quality, and funding sources in assessing investment attractiveness.  The similarities and differences in the Company’s and the Peer Group’s financial strengths are noted as follows:
 
 
§  
Overall A/L Composition.  In comparison to the Peer Group, the Company’s interest-earning asset composition showed a lower concentration of loans and a higher concentration of investments.  The Company’s lending emphasis on 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans translated into less significant diversification into higher risk and higher yielding types of loans.  Overall, in comparison to the Peer Group, the Company’s interest-earning asset composition provided for a lower yield earned on interest-earning assets and a lower risk weighted assets-to-assets ratio.  Capitol Federal Financial’s  funding composition reflected a lower level of deposits and a higher level of borrowings than the comparable Peer Group ratios, which translated into a higher cost of funds for the Company.  Overall, as a percent of assets, the Company maintained a higher level of interest-earning assets and a similar level of interest-bearing liabilities compared to the Peer Group’s ratios, which resulted in a slightly higher IEA/IBL ratio for the Company.  After factoring in the impact of the net stock proceeds, the Company’s IEA/IBL ratio should further exceed the Peer Group’s ratio.  On balance, RP Financial concluded that asset/liability composition was a neutral factor in our adjustment for financial condition.
 
 
§  
Credit Quality.  The Company’s ratios for non-performing assets and non-performing loans were more favorable than the comparable Peer Group ratios.  However, loss reserves as a percent of non-performing loans and loans were significantly lower for the Company.  Net loan charge-offs were a more significant factor for the Peer Group.  As noted above, the Company’s risk weighted assets-to-assets ratio was lower than the Peer Group’s ratio.  Overall, RP Financial concluded that credit quality was a moderately positive factor in our adjustment for financial condition.

VALUATION ANALYSIS
IV.4
 
 
§  
Balance Sheet Liquidity.  The Company operated with a higher level of cash and investment securities relative to the Peer Group (34.4% of assets versus 26.8% for the Peer Group).  Taking into account the infusion of net stock proceeds, the Company’s cash and investments ratio is expected to increase as the proceeds retained at the holding company level will be initially deployed into investments.  The Company’s future borrowing capacity was considered to be less than the Peer Group’s, given the higher level of borrowings currently funding the Company’s assets.  Overall, RP Financial concluded that balance sheet liquidity was a neutral factor in our adjustment for financial condition.
 
 
§  
Funding Liabilities.  The Company’s interest-bearing funding composition reflected a lower concentration of deposits and a higher concentration of borrowings relative to the comparable Peer Group ratios, which translated into a higher cost of funds for the Company.  Total interest-bearing liabilities as a percent of assets were similar for the Company and the Peer Group.  Following the stock offering, the increase in the Company’s capital position will reduce the relative level of interest-bearing liabilities funding the Company’s assets.  Overall, RP Financial concluded that funding liabilities were a slightly negative factor in our adjustment for financial condition.
 
 
§  
Capital.  The Company currently operates with a slightly lower equity-to-assets ratio than the Peer Group, while the Company’s tangible equity-to-assets ratio currently exceeds the Peer Group’s ratio.  Accordingly, following the stock offering, Capitol Federal Financial’s pro forma capital position will exceed the Peer Group's ratios for both equity-to-assets and tangible equity-to-assets.  The Company’s higher pro forma capital position implies greater leverage capacity, lower dependence on interest-bearing liabilities to fund assets and a greater capacity to absorb unanticipated losses.  At the same time, the Company’s more significant capital surplus will make it more difficult to achieve a competitive ROE.  On balance, RP Financial concluded that capital strength was a slightly positive factor in our adjustment for financial condition.
 
On balance, Capitol Federal Financial’s balance sheet strength was considered to be more favorable than the Peer Group’s and, thus, a slight upward adjustment was applied for the Company’s financial condition.
 
2.             Profitability, Growth and Viability of Earnings
 
Earnings are a key factor in determining pro forma market value, as the level and risk characteristics of an institution’s earnings stream and the prospects and ability to generate future earnings heavily influence the multiple that the investment community

will pay for earnings.  The major factors considered in the valuation are described below.
 
 
§  
Reported Earnings.    The Company’s reported earnings were higher than the Peer Group’s on a ROAA basis (0.81% of average assets versus 0.63% for the Peer Group).  The Company’s higher return was attributable to lower levels of operating expenses and loan loss provisions, which were somewhat offset by the Peer Group’s higher net interest margin and higher non-interest operating income.  Reinvestment of stock proceeds into interest-earning assets will serve to increase the Company’s earnings, with the benefit of reinvesting proceeds expected to be somewhat offset by implementation of additional stock benefit plans in connection with the second-step offering.  Overall, the Company’s pro forma reported earnings were considered to be stronger than the Peer Group’s and, thus, RP Financial concluded that this was a slightly positive factor in our adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings.
 
 
§  
Core Earnings.  Net interest income, operating expenses, non-interest operating income and loan loss provisions were reviewed in assessing the relative strengths and weaknesses of the Company’s and the Peer Group’s core earnings.  The Company operated with a lower net interest margin, a lower operating expense ratio and a lower level of non-interest operating income.  The Company’s lower ratios for net interest income and operating expenses translated into a higher expense coverage ratio in comparison to the Peer Group’s ratio (equal to 1.85x versus 1.39X for the Peer Group).  Similarly, the Company’s efficiency ratio of 46.9% was more favorable than the Peer Group’s efficiency ratio of 57.7%.  Loan loss provisions had a more significant impact on the Peer Group’s earnings.  Overall, these measures, as well as the expected earnings benefits the Company should realize from the redeployment of stock proceeds into interest-earning assets and leveraging of post-conversion capital, which will be somewhat negated by expenses associated with the stock benefit plans, indicate that the Company’s pro forma core earnings will be more favorable than the Peer Group’s.  Therefore, RP Financial concluded that this was a moderately positive factor in our adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings.
 
 
§  
Interest Rate Risk.  Quarterly changes in the Company’s and the Peer Group's net interest income to average assets ratios indicated a similar degree of volatility was associated with the Company’s and the Peer Group’s net interest margins.  Other measures of interest rate risk, such as tangible capital and IEA/IBL ratios as well as the level of non-interest earning assets were more favorable for the Company.  On a pro forma basis, the infusion of stock proceeds can be expected to provide the Company with equity-to-assets and IEA/ILB ratios that will further exceed the Peer Group ratios, as well as enhance the stability of the Company’s net interest margin through the reinvestment of stock proceeds into interest-earning assets.  On balance, RP

Financial concluded that interest rate risk was a slightly positive factor in our adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings.
 
 
§  
Credit Risk.  Loan loss provisions were a larger factor in the Peer Group’s earnings (0.77% of average assets versus 0.12% of average assets for the Company).  In terms of future exposure to credit quality related losses, the Company maintained a slightly lower concentration of assets in loans and lending diversification into higher risk types of loans was less significant for the Company.  Credit quality measures for non-performing assets were more favorable for the Company, while the Peer Group maintained higher loss reserves as a percent of non-performing loans and loans.  Overall, RP Financial concluded that credit risk was a moderately positive factor in our adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings.
 
 
§  
Earnings Growth Potential.  Several factors were considered in assessing earnings growth potential.  First, the Company maintained a less favorable interest rate spread than the Peer Group, which would tend to support a stronger net interest margin going forward for the Peer Group.  Second, the infusion of stock proceeds will provide the Company with more significant growth potential through leverage than currently maintained by the Peer Group.  Third, the Peer Group’s higher ratio of non-interest operating income and the Company’s lower operating expense ratio were viewed as respective advantages to sustain earnings growth during periods when net interest margins come under pressure as the result of adverse changes in interest rates.  Overall, earnings growth potential was considered to be a slightly positive factor in our adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings.
 
 
§  
Return on Equity.  Currently, the Company’s core ROE is above the Peer Group’s core ROE.  As the result of the significant increase in capital that will be realized from the infusion of net stock proceeds into the Company’s equity, the Company’s pro forma return on equity on a core earnings basis will initially be lower than the Peer Group’s core ROE.  Accordingly, this was a neutral factor in the adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings.
 
On balance, Capitol Federal Financial’s pro forma earnings strength was considered to be more favorable than the Peer Group’s and, thus, a moderate upward adjustment was applied for profitability, growth and viability of earnings.
 
3.             Asset Growth
 
The Company’s asset growth rate was below the Peer Group’s growth rate during the period covered in our comparative analysis, based on growth rates of 2.6%

and 6.9%, respectively.  Asset growth for the Company consisted of cash and investments offset by a slight decrease in loans, while the Peer Group’s asset growth consisted of a combination of loans and cash and investments.  Overall, the Peer Group’s current asset growth measures were viewed as more favorable than the Company’s asset growth measures.  On a pro forma basis, the Company’s tangible equity-to-assets ratio will further exceed the Peer Group's tangible equity-to-assets ratio, indicating greater leverage capacity for the Company.  On balance, no adjustment was applied for asset growth.
 
4.             Primary Market Area
 
The general condition of an institution’s market area has an impact on value, as future success is in part dependent upon opportunities for profitable activities in the local market served.  Capitol Federal Financial primarily serves east and central markets in Kansas and western Missouri markets in and nearby Kansas City.  The Company’s markets include a mix of urban, suburban and rural markets with varied demographic characteristics.  While growth opportunities in the rural markets served by the Company are somewhat limited, the Company generally maintains a strong competitive position in many of those markets as implied by its market share of deposits.
 
The Peer Group companies generally operate in more densely populated markets compared to the most of the markets served by Capitol Federal Financial, including Shawnee County where the Company maintains its headquarters.  Population growth for the primary market area counties served by the Peer Group companies reflect a wide range of growth rates, but on average was comparable to Shawnee County’s population growth rate.  Shawnee County, where the Company maintains its main office, has a relatively low per capita income compared to the Peer Group’s average and median per capita income measures, while the cost of living in Shawnee County is also generally lower compared to the primary market area counties of the Peer Group companies.  The average and median deposit market shares maintained by the Peer Group companies were well below the Company’s market share of deposits in Shawnee County.  Overall, the degree of competition faced by the Peer Group

companies was viewed as greater than faced by the Company, while the growth potential in the markets served by the Peer Group companies was for the most part viewed to be comparable to the Company’s primary market area.  Summary demographic and deposit market share data for the Company and the Peer Group companies is provided in Exhibit III-4.  As shown in Table 4.1, March 2010 unemployment rates for the markets served by the Peer Group companies were all higher than Shawnee County’s unemployment rate as of March 2010.  On balance, we concluded that a slight upward adjustment was appropriate for the Company’s market area.

5.             Dividends
 
Capitol Federal Financial has indicated its intention to continue to pay cash dividends on a quarterly basis following the second-step conversion, although at a reduced level from the $0.50 quarterly dividend paid by CFFN as of March 31, 2010.  The amount and future declarations of dividends by the Board of Directors will depend upon a number of factors, including investment opportunities, growth objectives, financial condition, profitability, tax considerations, minimum capital requirements, regulatory limitations, stock market characteristics and general economic conditions.
 
All 10 of the Peer Group companies pay regular cash dividends, with implied dividend yields ranging from 0.51% to 4.39%.  The average dividend yield on the stocks of the Peer Group institutions was 2.81% as of May 28, 2010, representing an average payout ratio of 49.61% of core earnings.  As of May 28, 2010, approximately 63% of all fully-converted publicly-traded thrifts had adopted cash dividend policies (see Exhibit IV-1), exhibiting an average yield of 2.01%.  The dividend paying thrifts generally maintain higher than average profitability ratios, facilitating their ability to pay cash dividends.
 
While the Company has not established a definitive dividend policy for after the second-step conversion, the Company will have the capacity to pay a dividend comparable to the Peer Group’s average dividend yield based on pro forma earnings and capitalization.  On balance, we concluded that no adjustment was warranted for this factor.
 
6.             Liquidity of the Shares
 
The Peer Group is by definition composed of companies that are traded in the public markets.  Nine of the Peer Group members trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market and one trades on the New York Stock Exchange.  Typically, the number of shares outstanding and market capitalization provides an indication of how much liquidity there will be in a particular stock.  The market capitalization of the Peer Group companies ranged from $231.7 million to $1.9 billion as of May 28, 2010, with average and median market values of $633.7 million and $430.3 million, respectively.  The shares issued and outstanding to the public shareholders of the Peer Group members

VALUATION ANALYSIS

ranged from 16.5 million to 112.5 million, with average and median shares outstanding of 54.2 million and 42.2 million, respectively.  The Company’s second-step stock offering is expected to provide for a pro forma market value that will be in the upper end or exceeds the range of market values indicated for the Peer Group companies and will exceed shares outstanding indicated for all of the Peer Group companies.  Like the large majority of the Peer Group companies, the Company’s stock will continue to be quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market following the stock offering.  Overall,  given that the Peer Group companies have active and liquid trading markets for their stocks, we anticipate that the Company’s stock will have a comparable trading market as the Peer Group companies in general and, therefore, concluded no adjustment was necessary for this factor.
 
7.             Marketing of the Issue
 
We believe that four separate markets exist for thrift stocks, including those coming to market such as Capitol Federal Financial’s:  (A) the after-market for public companies, in which trading activity is regular and investment decisions are made based upon financial condition, earnings, capital, ROE, dividends and future prospects; (B) the new issue market in which converting thrifts are evaluated on the basis of the same factors, but on a pro forma basis without the benefit of prior operations as a fully-converted publicly-held company and stock trading history; (C) the acquisition market for thrift franchises in Kansas; and (D) the market for the public stock of Capitol Federal Financial.  All of these markets were considered in the valuation of the Company’s to-be-issued stock.
 
A.            The Public Market
 
The value of publicly-traded thrift stocks is easily measurable, and is tracked by most investment houses and related organizations.  Exhibit IV-1 provides pricing and financial data on all publicly-traded thrifts.  In general, thrift stock values react to market stimuli such as interest rates, inflation, perceived industry health, projected rates of economic growth, regulatory issues and stock market conditions in general.  Exhibit IV-2 displays historical stock market trends for various indices and

includes historical stock price index values for thrifts and commercial banks.  Exhibit IV-3 displays historical stock price indices for thrifts only.
 
In terms of assessing general stock market conditions, the performance of the overall stock market has been mixed in recent quarters.  Stocks started the fourth quarter of 2009 with a sell-off, as investors reacted negatively to economic data showing a slow down in manufacturing activity from August to September and more job losses than expected for September.  Energy and material stocks led a stock market rally heading into mid-October, as stock markets rallied around the world.  Good earnings reports from J.P. Morgan Chase and Intel pushed the Dow Jones Industrial Average (“DJIA”) above a 10000 close in mid-October.  Mixed economic data and concerns of the sustainability of the recovery following the removal of the federal stimulus programs provided for volatile trading at the close of October.  Stocks moved higher in early-November, with the DJIA topping 10000 again on renewed optimism about the economy aided by a report that manufacturing activity rose around the world in October.  Expectations that interest rates and inflation would remain low, following a weaker than expected employment report for October, sustained the rally heading into mid-November.  The DJIA hit new highs for the year in mid-November, as investors focused on upbeat earnings from major retailers, signs of economic growth in Asia and the Federal Reserve’s commitment to low interest rates.  Stocks traded unevenly through the second half of November, reflecting investor uncertainty over the strength of the economic recovery and Dubai debt worries.  Easing fears about the Dubai debt crisis, along with a favorable employment report for November, served to bolster stocks at the end of November and into early-December.  Mixed economic data, including a better-than-expected increase in November retail sales and November wholesale inflation rising more than expected, sustained a narrow trading range for the broader stock market heading into mid-December.  Worries about the state of European economies and the dollar’s surge upended stocks in mid-December.  Helped by some positive economic data and acquisition deals in mining and health care, the DJIA posted gains for six consecutive sessions in late-December.  Overall, the DJIA closed up 18.8% for 2009, which was 26.4% below its all time high.

Stocks started 2010 in positive territory on mounting evidence of a global manufacturing rebound, while mixed earnings reports provided for an up and down market in mid-January.  The DJIA moved into negative territory for the year heading in into late-January, with financial stocks leading the market lower as the White House proposed new limits on the size and activities of big banks.  Technology stocks led the broader market lower at the close of January, as disappointing economic reports dampened growth prospects for 2010.  Concerns about the global economy and European default worries pressured stocks lower in early-February, as the DJIA closed below 10000 for the first time in three months.  Upbeat corporate earnings and some favorable economic news out of Europe and China help stocks to rebound in mid-February.  The positive trend in the broader stock market continued into the second half of February, as investors seized on mild inflation data and more signs that the U.S. economy was recovering.  Weak economic data pulled stocks lower at the end of February, although the 2.6% increase in the DJIA for the month of February was its strongest showing since November.
 
The DJIA moved back into positive territory for 2010 in early-March, as the broader market rallied on a better-than-expected employment report for February.  Stocks trended higher through mid-March, with the DJIA closing up for eight consecutive trading sessions.  Factors contributing to the eight day wining streak in the DJIA included bullish comments by Citigroup, expectations of continued low borrowing costs following the Federal Reserve’s mid-March meeting that concluded with keeping its target rate near zero and a brightening manufacturing outlook.  Following a one day pull back, the positive trend in the broader market continued heading into late-March.  Gains in the health-care sector following the passage of health-care legislation, better-than-expected existing home sales in February, first time jobless claims falling more than expected and solid earnings posted by Best Buy all contributed to the positive trend in stocks.  The DJIA moved to a 19-month high approaching the end of the first quarter, as oil stocks led the market higher in response to new evidence of global economic strength.  Overall, the DJIA completed its best first quarter since 1999, with a 4.1% increase for the quarter.

More signs of the economy gaining strength sustained the positive trend in the broader stock market at the start of the second quarter of 2010.  The DJIA closed above 11000 heading into mid-April, based on growing optimism about corporate earnings and a recovering economy.  Fraud charges against Goldman Sachs halted a six day rally in the market in mid-April, as financial stocks led a one day sell-off in the broader market.  The broader stock market generally sustained a positive trend during the second half of April, with encouraging first quarter earnings reports and favorable economic data supporting the gains.  Financial stocks lead the broader stock market lower at the end of April on news of a criminal investigation of Goldman Sachs.  The sell-off in the stock market sharpened during the first week of May, largely on the basis of heightened concerns about possible ripple effects from Greece’s credit crisis.  Stocks surged after European Union leaders agreed to a massive bailout to prevent Greece’s financial troubles from spreading throughout the region, but then reversed course heading into the second half of May on continued worries about the fallout from Europe’s credit crisis and an unexpected increase in jobless claims.  China’s promise not to unload its European debt sparked a one-day rally in late-May, which was followed by a lower close for the DJIA on the last trading day of May as a downgrade of Spain’s credit rekindled investors’ fears about Europe’s economy.  Overall, it was the worst May for the DJIA since 1940.  On May 28, 2010, the DJIA closed at 10136.63, an increase of 19.2% from one year ago and a decrease of 2.8% year-to-date, and the NASDAQ closed at 2257.04, an increase of 27.2% from one year ago and a decrease of 0.5% year-to-date.  The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index closed at 1089.41 on May 28, 2010, an increase of 18.5% from one year ago and a decrease of 2.3% year-to-date.
 
The market for thrift stocks has been somewhat uneven in recent quarters, but in general has underperformed the broader stock market.  Some disappointing economic data pushed thrift stocks along with the broader market lower at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2009.  Thrift stocks rebounded modestly through mid-October, aided by a rally in the broader stock market and a strong earnings report from J.P. Morgan Chase.  Concerns of more loan losses and a disappointing report on September new home sales provided for a modest retreat in thrift prices in late-October.  After bouncing higher on a better-than-expected report for third quarter GDP growth,

financial stocks led the broader market lower at the end of October in the face of a negative report on consumer spending.  In contrast to the broader market, thrift stocks edged lower following the Federal Reserve’s early-November statement that it would leave the federal funds rate unchanged.  Thrift stocks rebounded along with the broader market going into mid-November, following some positive reports on the economy and comments from the Federal Reserve that interest rates would remain low amid concerns that unemployment and troubles in commercial real estate would weigh on the economic recovery.  Fresh economic data that underscored expectations for a slow economic recovery and Dubai debt worries pushed thrift stocks lower during the second half of November.  Financial stocks led a broader market rebound at the close of November and into early-December, which was supported by a favorable report for home sales in October and expectations that the Dubai debt crisis would have a limited impact on U.S. banks.  The favorable employment report for November added to gains in the thrift sector in early-December.  Financial stocks edged higher in mid-December on news that Citigroup was repaying TARP funds, which was followed by a pullback following a report that wholesale inflation rose more than expected in November and mid-December unemployment claims were higher than expected.  More attractive valuations supported a snap-back rally in thrift stocks heading into late-December, which was followed by a narrow trading range for the thrift sector through year end.  Overall, the SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts was down 10.2% in 2009, which reflects significant declines in the trading prices of several large publicly-traded thrifts during 2009 pursuant to reporting significant losses due to credit quality related deterioration.
 
Thrift stocks traded in a narrow range during the first few weeks of 2010, as investors awaited fourth quarter earnings reports that would provide further insight on credit quality trends.  An unexpected jump in jobless claims and proposed restrictions by the White House on large banks depressed financial stocks in general heading into late-January.  Amid mixed earnings reports, thrift stocks traded in a narrow range for the balance of January.  Financial stocks led the broader market lower in early-February and then rebounded along with the broader market in mid-February on some positive economic data including signs that home prices were rising in some large metropolitan

 areas.  Mild inflation readings for wholesale and consumer prices in January sustained the upward trend in thrift stocks heading into the second half of February.  Comments by the Federal Reserve Chairman that short-term interest rates were likely to remain low for at least several months helped thrift stocks to ease higher in late-February.
 
The thrift sector moved higher along with the broader stock market in-early March 2010, aided by the better-than-expected employment report for February.  Financial stocks lead the market higher heading into mid-March on optimism that Citigroup would be able to repay the U.S. Government after a successful offering of trust preferred securities.  The Federal Reserve’s recommitment to leaving its target rate unchanged “for an extended period” sustained the positive trend in thrift stocks through mid-March.  Thrift stocks bounced higher along with the broader stock market heading into late-March, which was followed by a slight pullback as debt worries sent the yields on Treasury notes higher.
 
An improving outlook for financial stocks in general, along with positive reports for housing, employment and retail sales, boosted thrift stocks at the start of the second quarter of 2010.  A nominal increase in March consumer prices and a strong first quarter earnings report from JP Morgan Chase & Co. supported a broad rally in bank and thrift stocks heading into mid-April, which was followed by a pullback on news that the SEC charged Goldman Sachs with fraud.  Thrift stocks generally underperformed the broader stock market during the second half of April, as financial stocks in general were hurt by uncertainty about the progress of financial reform legislation, Greece’s debt crisis and news of a criminal investigation of Goldman Sachs.  Thrift stocks retreated along the broader stock market in the first week of May, based on fears that the growing debt crisis in Europe could hurt the economic recovery.  Likewise, thrift stocks surged higher along with the broader stock market after European Union officials announced a massive bailout plan to avert a public-debt crisis and then fell heading into the second half of May on lingering concerns about the euro.  News of rising mortgage delinquencies in the first quarter of 2010, an expected slowdown in new home construction and uncertainty over financial reform legislation further contributed to lower trading prices for thrift stocks.  Thrift stocks participated in the one-day broader

market rally in late-May and then declined along with the broader stock market at the close of May.  On May 28, 2010, the SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts closed at 594.2, an increase of 9.9% from one year ago and an increase of 1.2% year-to-date.
 
B.            The New Issue Market
 
In addition to thrift stock market conditions in general, the new issue market for converting thrifts is also an important consideration in determining the Company’s pro forma market value.  The new issue market is separate and distinct from the market for seasoned thrift stocks in that the pricing ratios for converting issues are computed on a pro forma basis, specifically:  (1) the numerator and denominator are both impacted by the conversion offering amount, unlike existing stock issues in which price change affects only the numerator; and (2) the pro forma pricing ratio incorporates assumptions regarding source and use of proceeds, effective tax rates, stock plan purchases, etc. which impact pro forma financials, whereas pricing for existing issues are based on reported financials.  The distinction between pricing of converting and existing issues is perhaps no clearer than in the case of the price/book (“P/B”) ratio in that the P/B ratio of a converting thrift will typically result in a discount to book value whereas in the current market for existing thrifts the P/B ratio may reflect a premium to book value.  Therefore, it is appropriate to also consider the market for new issues, both at the time of the conversion and in the aftermarket.
 
The marketing for converting thrift issues turned more positive in the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010, as indicated by an increase in conversion activity and the relative success of those offerings.  For the most part, the recent conversion offerings experienced healthy subscription takedowns and have traded above their IPO prices in initial trading activity.  Consistent with the broader thrift market, conversion pricing reflects continued investor uncertainty over credit quality trends and the prospects that a strengthening economy will translate into improved real estate market conditions for residential and commercial properties.
 
As shown in Table 4.2, one standard conversion and one second-step conversion was completed during the past three months.  The second-step conversion offering is considered to be more relevant for our analysis, which was completed in April

2010.  In general, second-step conversions tend to be priced (and trade in the aftermarket) at higher P/B ratios than standard conversions.  We believe investors take into consideration the generally more leveraged pro forma balance sheets of second-step companies, their track records as public companies prior to conversion, and their generally higher pro forma ROE measures relative to standard conversions in pricing their common stocks.  Eagle Bancorp Montana’s second-step offering was completed between the midpoint and maximum of the offering range, with a 60% offering raising gross proceeds of $24.6 million.  Eagle Bancorp Montana’s pro forma price/tangible book ratio at the closing value equaled 81.4% and pro forma core price/earnings ratio at the closing value equaled 12.7 times.  Eagle Bancorp Montana’s stock price closed up 5.0% after one week of trading and closed up 0.5% through May 28, 2010.
 
The most recent large second-step offering was completed by Northwest Bancshares in December 2009.  Northwest Bancshares’ second-step offering was completed between the midpoint and maximum of the offering range, with a 62% offering raising gross proceeds of $688.8 million.  Northwest Bancshares’ pro forma price/tangible book ratio at the closing value equaled 101.5% and pro forma core price/earnings ratio at the closing value equaled 20.3 times.  Northwest Bancshares’ higher price/tangible book ratio is believed to be in part attributable to the significantly larger size of its offering, which provides for a more liquid trading market and attracts the interest of institutional investors.  Northwest Bancshares’ stock price closed up 12.3% after one week of trading and closed up 16.2% through May 28, 2010.
 
Shown in Table 4.3 are the current pricing ratios for Eagle Bancorp Montana, which was the only fully-converted offering completed during the past three months that trades on NASDAQ or an Exchange.  Eagle Bancorp Montana’s current P/TB ratio equaled 81.77%, based on its closing stock price on May 28, 2010.

VALUATION ANALYSIS

thrift institutions operating in Kansas.  As shown in Exhibit IV-4, there was only one Kansas thrift acquisition completed from the beginning of 2006 through May 19, 2010, and there are currently no acquisitions pending of a Kansas savings institution.  The recent acquisition activity involving Kansas savings institutions may imply a certain degree of acquisition speculation for the Company’s stock.  To the extent that acquisition speculation may impact the Company’s offering, we have largely taken this into account in selecting companies for the Peer Group which operate in markets that have experienced a comparable or higher level of acquisition activity as the Company’s market and, thus, are subject to the same type of acquisition speculation that may influence Capitol Federal Financial’s stock.  However, since converting thrifts are subject to a three-year regulatory moratorium from being acquired, acquisition speculation in Capitol Federal Financial’s stock would tend to be less compared to the stocks of the Peer Group companies.
 
D.            Trading in Capitol Federal Financial’s Stock
 
Since Capitol Federal Financial’s minority stock currently trades under the symbol “CFFN” on the NASDAQ, RP Financial also considered the recent trading activity in the valuation analysis.  Capitol Federal Financial had a total of 73,983,078 shares issued and outstanding at March 31, 2010, of which 21,790,261 shares were held by public shareholders and traded as public securities.  The Company’s stock has had a 52 week trading range of $28.19 to $43.19 per share and its closing price on May 28, 2010 was $32.00.
 
There are significant differences between the Company’s minority stock (currently being traded) and the conversion stock that will be issued by the Company.  Such differences include different liquidity characteristics, a different return on equity for the conversion stock, the stock is currently traded based on speculation of a range of exchange ratios  and dividend payments will be made on all shares outstanding; thereby, requiring a higher payout ratio to sustain the current level of dividends paid to non-MHC shareholders.  Since the pro forma impact has not been publicly disseminated to date, it is appropriate to discount the current trading level.  As the pro forma impact is made known publicly, the trading level will become more informative.

VALUATION ANALYSIS

*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *
 
In determining our valuation adjustment for marketing of the issue, we considered trends in both the overall thrift market, the new issue market including the new issue market for second-step conversions, the acquisition market and recent trading activity in the Company’s minority stock.  Taking these factors and trends into account, RP Financial concluded that a slight downward adjustment was appropriate in the valuation analysis for purposes of marketing of the issue.
 
8.             Management
 
The Company’s management team appears to have experience and expertise in all of the key areas of the Company’s operations.  Exhibit IV-5 provides summary resumes of the Company’s Board of Directors and senior management.  The financial characteristics of the Company suggest that the Board and senior management have been effective in implementing an operating strategy that can be well managed by the Company’s present organizational structure.  The Company currently does not have any senior management positions that are vacant.
 
Similarly, the returns, equity positions and other operating measures of the Peer Group companies are indicative of well-managed financial institutions, which have Boards and management teams that have been effective in implementing competitive operating strategies.  Therefore, on balance, we concluded no valuation adjustment relative to the Peer Group was appropriate for this factor.
 
9.             Effect of Government Regulation and Regulatory Reform
 
In summary, as a fully-converted regulated institution, Capitol Federal Financial will operate in substantially the same regulatory environment as the Peer Group members -- all of whom are adequately capitalized institutions and are operating with no apparent restrictions.  Exhibit IV-6 reflects Capitol Federal Savings Bank’s pro forma regulatory capital ratios.  On balance, no adjustment has been applied for the effect of government regulation and regulatory reform.

Valuation Approaches
 
In applying the accepted valuation methodology promulgated by the OTS and adopted by the FDIC, i.e., the pro forma market value approach, we considered the three key pricing ratios in valuing the Company’s to-be-issued stock -- price/earnings (“P/E”), price/book (“P/B”), and price/assets (“P/A”) approaches -- all performed on a pro forma basis including the effects of the stock proceeds.  In computing the pro forma impact of the conversion and the related pricing ratios, we have incorporated the valuation parameters disclosed in the Company’s prospectus for reinvestment rate, effective tax rate, stock benefit plan assumptions, expenses and cash contribution to the Foundation (summarized in Exhibits IV-7 and IV-8).
 
In our estimate of value, we assessed the relationship of the pro forma pricing ratios relative to the Peer Group and recent conversion offerings.
 
RP Financial’s valuation placed an emphasis on the following:
 
 
§  
P/E Approach.  The P/E approach is generally the best indicator of long-term value for a stock and we have given it the most significant weight among the valuation approaches.  Given certain similarities between the Company’s and the Peer Group’s earnings composition and overall financial condition, the
 
 
 

 
 
RP® Financial, LC.
VALUATION ANALYSIS
IV.23
 
 
 
P/E approach was carefully considered in this valuation.  At the same time, recognizing that (1) the earnings multiples will be evaluated on a pro forma basis for the Company; and (2) the Peer Group companies have had the opportunity to realize the benefit of reinvesting and leveraging their offering proceeds, we also gave weight to the other valuation approaches.
 
 
§  
P/B Approach.  P/B ratios have generally served as a useful benchmark in the valuation of thrift stocks, particularly in the context of an initial public offering, as the earnings approach involves assumptions regarding the use of proceeds.  RP Financial considered the P/B approach to be a valuable indicator of pro forma value taking into account the pricing ratios under the P/E and P/A approaches.  We have also modified the P/B approach to exclude the impact of intangible assets (i.e., price/tangible book value or “P/TB”), in that the investment community frequently makes this adjustment in its evaluation of this pricing approach.
 
 
§  
P/A Approach.  P/A ratios are generally a less reliable indicator of market value, as investors typically assign less weight to assets and attribute greater weight to book value and earnings.  Furthermore, this approach as set forth in the regulatory valuation guidelines does not take into account the amount of stock purchases funded by deposit withdrawals, thus understating the pro forma P/A ratio.  At the same time, the P/A ratio is an indicator of franchise value, and, in the case of highly capitalized institutions, high P/A ratios may limit the investment community’s willingness to pay market multiples for earnings or book value when ROE is expected to be low.
 
 
§  
Trading of CFFN stock.  Converting institutions generally do not have stock outstanding.  Capitol Federal Financial, however, has public shares outstanding due to the mutual holding company form of ownership.  Since Capitol Federal Financial is currently traded on the NASDAQ, it is an indicator of investor interest in the Company’s conversion stock and therefore received some weight in our valuation.  Based on the May 28, 2010, stock price of $32.00 per share and the 73,983,078 shares of Capitol Federal Financial stock outstanding, the Company’s implied market value of $2.367 billion was considered in the valuation process.  However, since the conversion stock will have different characteristics than the minority shares, the current trading price of Capitol Federal Financial’s stock was somewhat discounted herein but will become more important towards the closing of the offering.
 
The Company has adopted Statement of Position (“SOP”) 93-6, which causes earnings per share computations to be based on shares issued and outstanding excluding unreleased ESOP shares.  For purposes of preparing the pro forma pricing analyses, we have reflected all shares issued in the offering, including all ESOP shares,

VALUATION ANALYSIS
IV.24
 
to capture the full dilutive impact, particularly since the ESOP shares are economically dilutive, receive dividends and can be voted.  However, we did consider the impact of SOP 93-6 in the valuation.
 
In preparing the pro forma pricing analysis we have taken into account the pro forma impact of the MHC net assets that will be consolidated with the Company and thus will increase equity and earnings.  At March 31, 2010, the MHC had unconsolidated net assets of $466,000.  These entries have been added to the Company’s March 31, 2010 reported financial information to reflect the consolidation of the MHC into the Company’s operations.
 
Based on the application of the three valuation approaches, taking into consideration the valuation adjustments discussed above, RP Financial concluded that as of May 28, 2010, the aggregate pro forma market value of Capitol Federal Financial’s conversion stock equaled $2,409,742,180 at the midpoint, equal to 240,974,218 shares at $10.00 per share.  The $10.00 per share price was determined by the Capitol Federal Financial Board.  The midpoint and resulting valuation range is based on the sale of a 70.55% ownership interest to the public, which provides for a $1,700,000,000 public offering at the midpoint value.
 
1.           Price-to-Earnings (“P/E”).  The application of the P/E valuation method requires calculating the Company’s pro forma market value by applying a valuation P/E multiple (fully-converted basis) to the pro forma earnings base.  In applying this technique, we considered both reported earnings and a recurring earnings base, that is, earnings adjusted to exclude any one-time non-operating items, plus the estimated after-tax earnings benefit of the reinvestment of the net proceeds.  The Company’s reported earnings equaled $67.946 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010.  In deriving Capitol Federal Financial’s core earnings, the only adjustments made to reported earnings were to eliminate the net gain on the sale of securities and loans.  The net gain on the sale of securities and loans equaled $8.248 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2010.  As shown below, on a tax effected basis, assuming an effective marginal tax rate of 38.32% for the earnings adjustments, the Company’s core earnings were determined to equal $62.862 million for the twelve months ended March

Based on the Company’s reported and estimated core earnings, and incorporating the impact of the pro forma assumptions discussed previously, the Company’s pro forma reported and core P/E multiples at the $2.410 billion midpoint value equaled 29.34 times and 31.27 times, respectively, indicating premiums of 41.9% and 64.2% relative to the Peer Group’s average reported and core earnings multiples of 20.67 times and 19.04 times, respectively (see Table 4.4).  In comparison to the Peer Group’s median reported and core earnings multiples of 18.40 times and 16.84 times, respectively, the Company’s pro forma reported and core P/E multiples at the midpoint value indicated premiums of 59.5% and 85.7%, respectively.  The Company’s pro forma P/E ratios based on reported earnings at the minimum and the maximum equaled 25.64 times and 32.84 times, respectively, and based on core earnings at the minimum and the maximum equaled 27.38 times and 34.95 times, respectively.
 
2.           Price-to-Book (“P/B”). The application of the P/B valuation method requires calculating the Company’s pro forma market value by applying a valuation P/B ratio, as derived from the Peer Group’s P/B ratio, to the Company’s pro forma book value.  Based on the $2.410 billion midpoint valuation, the Company’s pro forma P/B and P/TB ratios both equaled 98.04%.  In comparison to the average P/B and P/TB ratios for the Peer Group of 112.19% and 133.93%, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios reflected discounts of 12.6% and 26.8%, respectively.  In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/B and P/TB ratios of 110.68% and 133.17%, respectively, the Company’s pro forma P/B and P/TB ratios at the midpoint value reflected discounts of 11.4% and 26.4%, respectively.  At the maximum of the range, the Company’s P/B and

VALUATION ANALYSIS

P/TB ratios both equaled 103.09%.  In comparison to the Peer Group’s average P/B and P/TB ratios, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios at the top of the range reflected discounts of 8.0% and 23.0%, respectively.  In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/B and P/TB ratios, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios at the maximum of the range reflected discounts of 6.9% and 22.6%, respectively.  RP Financial considered the discounts under the P/B approach to be reasonable, given the Company’s pro forma P/E multiples were at a premium to the Peer Group’s P/E multiples and the Company’s pro forma tangible equity-to-assets ratio was more than double the Peer Group’s tangible equity-to-assets ratio.
 
3.           Price-to-Assets (“P/A”).  The P/A valuation methodology determines market value by applying a valuation P/A ratio to the Company’s pro forma asset base, conservatively assuming no deposit withdrawals are made to fund stock purchases.  In all likelihood there will be deposit withdrawals, which results in understating the pro forma P/A ratio which is computed herein.  At the $2.410 billion midpoint of the valuation range, the Company’s value equaled 24.11% of pro forma assets.  Comparatively, the Peer Group companies exhibited an average P/A ratio of 12.59%, which implies a premium of 91.5% has been applied to the Company’s pro forma P/A ratio.  In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/A ratio of 12.45%, the Company’s pro forma P/A ratio at the midpoint value reflects a premium of 93.7%.
 
Comparison to Recent Offerings
 
As indicated at the beginning of this chapter, RP Financial’s analysis of recent conversion offering pricing characteristics at closing and in the aftermarket has been limited to a “technical” analysis and, thus, the pricing characteristics of recent conversion offerings can not be a primary determinate of value.  Particular focus was placed on the P/TB approach in this analysis, since the P/E multiples do not reflect the actual impact of reinvestment and the source of the stock proceeds (i.e., external funds vs. deposit withdrawals).  As discussed previously, Eagle Bancorp Montana’s second-step offering closing value reflected a forma price/tangible book ratio of 81.4% (see Table 4.2).  In comparison, the Company’s pro forma price/tangible book ratio at the

appraised midpoint value reflects a premium of 20.4%.  Eagle Bancorp Montana’s current P/TB ratio, based on closing stock prices as of May 28, 2010, equaled 81.8%.  In comparison to Eagle Bancorp Montana’s current P/TB ratio, the Company’s P/TB ratio at the midpoint value reflects an implied premium of 19.9%.
 
Also previously noted was Northwest Bancshares’ second-step offering completed in 2009, which was a larger offering more comparable to the size of Company’s second-step offering.  Northwest Bancshares’ pro forma price/tangible book ratio at the closing value equaled 101.5%.  In comparison, the Company’s pro forma price/tangible book ratio at the appraised midpoint value reflects a discount of 3.4%.  Northwest Bancshares’ P/TB ratio equaled 114.47%, based on closing stock prices as of May 28, 2010.  In comparison to Northwest Bancshares’ current P/TB ratio, the Company’s P/TB ratio at the midpoint value reflects an implied discount of 14.4% and at the maximum of the range the Company’s P/TB ratio reflects an implied discount of 9.9%.
 
Valuation Conclusion
 
Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of May 28, 2010, the estimated aggregate pro forma valuation of the shares of the Company to be issued and outstanding at the end of the conversion offering – including (1) newly-issued shares representing the MHC’s current ownership interest in the Company and (2) exchange shares issued to existing public shareholders of the Company - was $2,409,742,180 at the midpoint, equal to 240,974,218 shares at a per share value of $10.00.  Based on regulation, the resulting range of value and pro forma shares, all based on $10.00 per share, are as follows:  $2,048,280,850 or 204,828,085 shares at the minimum and $2,771,203,510 or 277,120,351 shares at the maximum.
 
Based on this valuation and taking into account the ownership interest represented by the shares owned by the MHC, the midpoint of the offering range is $1,850,000,000 equal to 185,000,000 shares at $10.00 per share.  Based on regulation, the resulting offering range and offering shares, all based on $10.00 per share, are as follows:  $1,445,000,000 or 144,500,000 shares at the minimum and $1,955,000,000 or

VALUATION ANALYSIS
IV.29
 
195,500,000 shares at the maximum.  The pro forma valuation calculations relative to the Peer Group are shown in Table 4.4 and are detailed in Exhibit IV-7 and Exhibit IV-8.
 
Establishment of the Exchange Ratio
 
OTS regulations provide that in a conversion of a mutual holding company, the minority stockholders are entitled to exchange the public shares for newly issued shares in the fully converted company.  The Board of Directors of Capitol Federal Financial has independently determined the exchange ratio, which has been designed to preserve the current aggregate percentage ownership in the Company held by the public shareholders.  The exchange ratio to be received by the existing minority shareholders of the Company will be determined at the end of the offering, based on the total number of shares sold in the subscription and syndicated offerings and the final appraisal.  Based on the valuation conclusion herein, the resulting offering value and the $10.00 per share offering price, the indicated exchange ratio at the midpoint is 3.2572 shares of the Company for every one public share held by public shareholders.  Furthermore, based on the offering range of value, the indicated exchange ratio is 2.7686 at the minimum and 3.7457 at the maximum.  RP Financial expresses no opinion on the proposed exchange of newly issued Company shares for the shares held by the public stockholders or on the proposed exchange ratio.

(1)
Core capital levels are shown as a percentage of total adjusted assets.  Risk-based capital levels are shown as a percentage of risk-weighted assets.  Capital requirements of 4.0%, 5.0% and 10% for core (leverage), Tier I risk-based and Total risk-based capital reflect “well capitalized” status under prompt corrective action provisions.
(2)
Pro forma capital levels assume that we fund the stock-based incentive plans with purchases in the open market equal to 2.0% of the shares of common stock sold in the stock offering at a price equal to the price for which the shares of common stock are sold in the stock offering, and that the employee stock ownership plan purchases 4.0% of the shares of common stock sold in the stock offering with funds we lend.  Pro forma GAAP and regulatory capital have been reduced by the amount required to fund both of these plans.  See “Management” for a discussion of the stock-based benefit plan and employee stock ownership plan.
(3)
 
Pro forma amounts and percentages assume net proceeds are invested in assets that carry a 20% risk weighting.
