FFW Corporation Announces Record Earnings for the Year Ended June 30, 2007


WABASH, IN--(Marketwire - July 25, 2007) - FFW Corporation (OTCBB: FFWC) (7/24/2007 Close: $25.75), parent corporation of First Federal Savings Bank of Wabash, Indiana, announced operating results for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2007 and year ended June 30, 2007. Net income and diluted net income per share for the year ended June 30, 2007 were records for the Company at $2,872,000 and $2.33 compared to $2,636,000 and $2.08 at June 30, 2006, increases of 9.0% and 12.0%, respectively. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, was $628,000 compared to $683,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Diluted net income per share for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2007 amounted to $0.52 compared to $0.55 reported in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2006.

The record earnings for fiscal 2007 were primarily impacted by increased net interest or margin income of $453,000 and increased gain on sale of securities of $305,000. These increases were partially offset by decreased gain on sale of loans of $103,000, decreased other noninterest income of $129,000 and $108,000 in increased contribution expense in fiscal 2007.

President and CEO, Roger Cromer, commented, "We are very pleased with our record performance in a difficult operating environment. We had solid loan and deposit growth throughout the year. Loans increased by 11.7% and deposits increased by 7.6%. The success of the new products and services we have added each year continue the evolution of our balance sheet from a traditional thrift to a full service commercial bank."

Net income was $55,409 lower for the comparable three-month periods in 2007 despite $19,582 more in net income before income taxes. The three-month period results for fiscal 2007 were impacted by an increase in the effective tax rate from 14.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 to 22.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The year to date effective tax rates were 16.1% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 and 16.9% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007. Tax advantages were weighted towards the earlier quarters of fiscal 2007. The three-month results ending June 30, 2007 were also impacted by an impairment charge of $69,000 relating to a low income housing investment. The impairment was recorded in the fourth quarter as the carrying value exceeded the value of future tax credits.

The fiscal 2007 fourth quarter and year to date earnings represent a return on average shareholders' equity of 9.80% and 11.43% compared to 11.39% and 11.03% for the periods ended June 30, 2006. Return on average total assets for the three and twelve-month periods ended June 30, 2007 were 0.89% and 1.01% compared to 1.00% and 0.99% for the periods ended June 30, 2006.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of net loans receivable was 1.28% at June 30, 2007 and 1.59% at June 30, 2006. Nonperforming assets were $2.5 million at June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006.

As of June 30, 2007, FFWC's equity-to-assets ratio was 8.60% compared to 8.50% at June 30, 2006. Shareholders' equity was $25.0 million compared to $23.9 million at June 30, 2006. Total assets at June 30, 2007 were $290.5 million compared to $280.9 million at June 30, 2006. Loans receivable increased $21.7 million during fiscal 2007 while securities available for sale decreased by $13.2 million. Total deposits at June 30, 2007 increased by $14.9 million from June 30, 2006 while total FHLB borrowings decreased by $6.7 million.
