REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
First Advantage Bancorp
Clarksville, Tennessee

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of First Advantage Bancorp and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statement of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We were not engaged to examine management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and, accordingly, we do no express an opinion thereon.

Note 1:  
Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Conversion and Change of Corporate Form
 
First Advantage Bancorp (the “Company”), a Tennessee corporation, was formed by First Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”) in June 2007 to become the Bank’s stock holding company upon completion of the Bank’s conversion from the mutual to the stock form of organization (the “Conversion”).  In connection with the Conversion, which was completed on November 29, 2007, the Company issued 5,264,683 shares of common stock in a subscription offering, and raised net proceeds of $51,195.
 
Nature of Operations
 
First Advantage Bancorp (the “Company”), a Tennessee corporation, is a holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly owned subsidiary, First Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank has one inactive wholly owned subsidiary, First Financial Mortgage Corp.  The Bank is a savings bank primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and financial services to individual and corporate customers in Clarksville, Tennessee and surrounding areas.  The Bank is subject to the regulation of the Office of Thrift Supervision and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
In the opinion of management, the audited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the consolidated statements of financial condition as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of operations and cash flows for the years then ended.  The accounting and financial reporting policies the Company follows conform, in all material respects, to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Certain items in prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.  The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through March 4, 2010, and has determined that no significant events occurred after December 31, 2009, but prior to the issuance of these financial statements, that would have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank and its wholly owned subsidiary First Financial Mortgage Corporation (collectively referred to as the “Company”).  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  First Financial Mortgage Corporation is an inactive subsidiary and, therefore, its operations are not material to the consolidated financial statements.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, the fair value of stock-based compensation awards, the fair values of financial instruments, income taxes and other-than-temporary impairment of investments.
 
Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Securities
 
Available-for-sale securities, which include any security for which the Company has no immediate plan to sell but which may be sold in the future, are carried at fair value.  Unrealized gains and losses are recorded, net of related income tax effects, in other comprehensive income. The Company does not hold any held-to-maturity securities, which would include any security for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity. Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase.  Securities with limited marketability, such as stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank, are carried at cost.
 
Interest income includes amortization of purchase premiums and discounts.  Realized gains and losses are derived from the amortized cost of the security sold.  Declines in fair value of available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.  In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
 
Loans Held for Sale
 
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate.  Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.  Gains and losses are realized at the time consideration is received and all other criteria for sales treatment have been met.
 
Loans
 
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoffs, are reported at their outstanding principal balances and adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.  Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term.  The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions.  When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed.  Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal due.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
 
Prior to 2004, the Bank sold mortgage loans to the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) in the normal course of business and retained the servicing rights. The GNMA programs under which the loans were sold allowed us to repurchase individual delinquent loans that meet certain criteria from the securitized loan pool. At the Bank’s option, and without GNMA's prior authorization, the Bank may repurchase a delinquent loan for an amount equal to 100% of the remaining principal balance on the loan. Once the Bank has the unconditional ability to repurchase a delinquent loan, the Bank is deemed to have regained effective control over the loan and the Bank is required to recognize the loan on the balance sheet and record an offsetting liability, regardless of the intent to repurchase the loan. At December 31, 2009 residential real estate portfolio loans included $538 of loans available for repurchase under the GNMA optional repurchase programs with the offsetting liability recorded within other short-term borrowings.
 
Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  The unpaid principal balances of mortgage loans serviced for others were $25,973 and $31,872 at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have been incurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed through charge-off.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
 
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and represents management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  The allowance is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
 
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls are not classified as impaired.  Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.  Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
 
Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.  Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment measurements.

Land is carried at cost.  Building and improvements, and furniture and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
 
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
 
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock is a required investment for institutions that are members of the FHLB system.  The required investment in the common stock is based on a predetermined formula.  The Bank reports its investment in the FHLB stock at cost.
 
Other Real Estate Owned
 
Other real estate owned which is acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure is held for sale and is initially recorded at  the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling cost when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.  Costs after acquisition are generally expensed.  Any changes in fair value of the asset are recorded through expense.  The valuation of other real estate owned is subjective in nature and may be adjusted in the future because of changes in economic conditions.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
 
The Company sells certain securities under agreements to repurchase.  The agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and the obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.   The dollar amount of the securities underlying the agreements remains in the asset accounts.
 
Advertising and Marketing Expenses
 
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and were $285 and $288 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income tax expense (benefit) is the total of the current year’s income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities (excluding components of other comprehensive income).  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates.  A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the expected amount most likely to be realized.  Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of a sufficient level of future taxable income and recoverable taxes paid in prior years.  Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.  The Company and its subsidiaries file separate income tax returns.
 
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”)
 
The Company accounts for its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) (See Note 14). ESOP shares are considered to be outstanding for the computation of EPS as they are committed to be released.
 
 
 
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with FASB’s ASC 718 “Share-Based Payment.”  Compensation expense for stock options, non-vested stock awards and restricted stock is based on the fair value of the award on the measurement date, which, for the Company, is the date of the grant and is recognized ratably over the service period of the award.  The fair value of stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The fair value of non-vested stock awards and restricted stock is generally the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.
 
Comprehensive Income
 
Comprehensive income includes all changes in shareholders’ equity during a period, except those resulting from transactions with shareholders.  Besides net income, other components of the Company’s comprehensive income include after tax effect of changes in the net unrealized gain/loss on securities available for sale.

Bank Owned Life Insurance
 
The Company has purchased single-premium life insurance policies on certain former directors of the Company.  The net cash surrender value of those polices is classified in other assets.  Changes in the value of the insurance policies are classified in non-interest income.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
FASB’s ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  In general, fair values of financial instruments are based upon quoted market prices, where available.  If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is primarily determined by matrix pricing, and in some cases, fair value is determined by an independent third party.  Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial statements are recorded at fair value.  These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality as well as unobservable parameters.  Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.
 
Earnings Per Common Share
 
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed in a manner similar to that of basic EPS except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of incremental common shares (computed using the treasury stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents (such as stock options and unvested restricted stock) were vested during the period. The weighted average  common shares outstanding equals the gross number of common shares issued less unallocated shares held by the  First Federal Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), nonvested restricted stock awards under the Company’s 2007 Deferred Compensation Plan and nonvested restricted stock awards under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan.  Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued.  Potential common shares to be issued include any restricted shares authorized under the Company’s 2007 Deferred Compensation Plan and the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan.  Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are shown as a reduction in stockholders’ equity and are included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for diluted EPS calculations as they are committed to be released.
 
At December 31, 2008, there were 569,802 potentially dilutive shares; however, because the Company recorded a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008, all potentially dilutive shares were anti-dilutive and basic and diluted loss per share were the same as basic loss per share in that period.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“Statement”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“Statement No. 168”). Statement No. 168 replaces FASB Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  Statement No. 168 defines the new hierarchy for U.S. GAAP and establishes the FASB Codification as the sole source for all authoritative accounting guidance. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates. In addition, the FASB will not consider Accounting Standards Updates as authoritative in their own right; rather, Accounting Standards Updates will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification.  The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The adoption of the Codification did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. 
 
In December 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance codified in ASC 715, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits.”  This update requires further disclosures about the fair value measurements of an employer’s benefit plan assets, including disclosures about the following:  how investment allocation decisions are made, including the factors material to an understanding of investment policies and strategies; major categories of plan assets; information about inputs and valuation techniques, including the fair value hierarchy classifications, as defined by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” of the major categories of plan assets; the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) on changes in plan assets; and significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted.  The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this update on its financial statements.
 
In January 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance codified in ASC 325, “Investments – Other,” which amends the existing guidance to achieve a more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. This update also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements.  This update was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008, and was to be applied prospectively.  Retroactive application was not permitted. The Company adopted this update on December 31, 2008, with no material impact on its financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance codified in ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” This update amends and clarifies existing guidance to address the initial recognition and measurement of an asset acquired or a liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency provided the asset or liability's fair value on the date of acquisition can be determined. When the fair value, at the acquisition date, of an asset acquired or liability assumed cannot be determined, this update requires using the guidance under ASC 450, “Contingencies”.  This update is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations that occur following the start of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of this update will impact the Company’s accounting for and reporting of acquisitions completed after January 1, 2009.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance codified in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” This update relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms the objective of fair value measurement: to reflect how much an asset or liability would be sold for in an orderly transaction (as opposed to a distressed or forced transaction) at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. Specifically, it reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive. The Company adopted this update as of June 30, 2009 with no material impact on its financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance codified in ASC 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.” This update is intended to bring greater consistency to the timing of impairment recognition and provide greater clarity to investors about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. The measure of impairment in comprehensive income remains fair value. This update also requires increased and more frequent disclosures regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and an aging of securities with unrealized losses.  The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance codified in ASC 825, “Financial Instruments.” (Staff Position No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”). This update amends existing authoritative accounting literature to require quantitative and qualitative disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for both annual and interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies.  This update is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted. The adoption this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance codified in ASC 855, “Subsequent Events.” The objective of this update is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  This update sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.  This update was effective for the Company beginning with its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2009.  The adoption of this update had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-05 “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provides further guidance on how to measure the fair value of a liability. This update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, an entity is required to measure fair value using a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of an identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”.  This update is effective for the first reporting period beginning on or after the date of issuance of the update, which was August 26, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this update will have a material impact on its financial statements.

The mortgage-backed securities are backed by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”).  None of the mortgage-backed securities are privately issued.
 
Collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) are mortgage derivatives and the CMOs owned by the Bank are classified as “low risk” under regulatory guidelines.  CMOs are subject to the effects of interest rate risk.  The Bank does not purchase CMOs at any significant premium over par value to limit certain prepayment risks.
 
The amortized cost and fair value of securities at December 31, 2009 and 2008, by contractual maturity, are shown below.  Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The carrying value of securities pledged as collateral to secure public deposits, borrowings and for other purposes, was $80,045 at December 31, 2009, and $115,283 at December 31, 2008.
 
Gross gains of $7 and $502 and gross losses of -0- and $3,158 resulting from sales of securities were realized for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Declines in fair value of available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other-than-temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.  In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
 
Based on an evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings, management believes the declines in fair value of the Company’s U.S. Government agencies, mortgage-backed securities, state and political subdivisions and collateralized mortgage obligation investments are temporary.
 
The Company engaged an independent consulting firm to assist in the valuation of its investment in pooled trust preferred securities as of December 31, 2009.  The market for pooled trust preferred securities continues to be non-existent with no new issuances in 2008 or 2009.  Very few trades of pooled trust preferred securities have occurred in 2009.  Based on these trends, management determined that there is an inactive and inefficient market in pooled trust preferred securities which has contributed to the depressed pricing for these investments.  After careful analysis, management determined that it will not likely retain its investment in the pooled trust preferred securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in fair value.  Therefore, during the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recognized non-cash other-than-temporary impairment charges of $1,091 on its investment in pooled trust preferred securities which reduced the Company’s book value on the securities to approximately $30.

During the third quarter of 2008, the Company recognized $13,577 of other-than-temporarily impairment charges, which consisted of $9,774 related to investment grade perpetual callable preferred securities issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, and $3,803 related to investments in pooled trust preferred securities.
 
The Company liquidated all of its Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac perpetual preferred securities holdings during the third and fourth quarters of 2008, which resulted in realized losses of $3,158.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008 the Company did not hold any investments in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac perpetual preferred securities.
 
The Company continuously assesses individual securities as part of its ongoing portfolio management, including the identification of other-than-temporary declines in fair value.  The other-than-temporary assessment includes reviewing the extent and duration of declines in fair values of investments, the seniority and duration of the securities, historical and projected company financial performance, company-specific news and other developments, the outlook for industry sectors, credit ratings and macro-economic changes, including government policy initiatives.
 
Certain investments in debt and marketable equity securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost.  Total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2009 and 2008, was $17,223 and $16,335, respectively, which was approximately 17.4% and 12.7%, respectively, of the Bank’s available-for-sale investment portfolio at those dates.
 
As of December 31, 2009, with the exception of the above mentioned investment in pooled trust preferred securities, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale in the table below and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before recovery of fair value.  The unrealized losses are largely due to increases in market interest rates over yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased.  The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline.  Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality.  Accordingly, as of December 31, 2009, management believes the impairments detailed in the table below are temporary and no other-than-temporary impairment should be recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations, which typically occurs when principal and interest payments are 90 days past due.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008, non-accruing loans were $1,403 and $830, respectively.  Had non-accrual loans performed in accordance with their original contract terms, the Company would have recognized additional interest income, net of tax, of approximately $20 in 2009 and $19 in 2008.
 
Impaired loans totaled $948 at December 31, 2009 and primarily consisted of one-to-four family residential loans.  There were no loans classified as impaired as of December 31, 2008.  Interest of $21 and $22 was recognized on average impaired loans of $951 and $245 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  No interest was recognized on impaired loans on a cash basis during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Federal Home Loan Bank Long Term Borrowings.  The Bank had fixed rate putable advances maturing on January 14, 2015 in the amount of $13,000, putable on January 14, 2010 and annually thereafter, with a weighted average rate of 2.99%.  Pursuant to collateral agreements with the FHLB, non-repurchase advances, and other overnight facilities which the Bank utilizes, are secured by qualifying first mortgage loans, commercial real estate, FHLB stock and interest-bearing demand deposits with the FHLB.  There were no outstanding FHLB repurchase advances as of December 31, 2009.
 
Structured Repurchase Agreements.  In a leverage strategy, on April 30, 2008, the Bank entered into two balance sheet leverage transactions whereby it borrowed a total of $35,000 in multiple rate repurchase agreements with an initial average cost of 3.67% and invested the proceeds in U. S. Agency pass-through Mortgage Backed Securities (the “Securities”), which were pledged as collateral.  The Bank secured the borrowed funds by Securities valued at 116% of the outstanding principal balance of the borrowings.  The borrowings have original maturity dates ranging from four to ten years, with a weighted average maturity of 6.9 years and certain borrowings have a call option starting with periods ranging from two to three years after origination and are continuously callable after the initial call date.  During the loan term, any collateral that is subject to maturity or call is replaced with other U. S. Agency instruments approved by the lender.

No valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was recorded at December 31, 2009 and 2008 as management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized through either recoverable taxes paid in prior years or off-set of future earnings.
 
 
Retained earnings at December 31, 2009 and 2008 includes approximately $3,633 of which no provision for federal income taxes has been made.  This amount represents the tax bad debt reserve at December 31, 1987, defined as the base year reserve, which pursuant to the Tax Reform Act of 1986 was not required to be recaptured into taxable income.  If this portion of retained earnings is used in the future for any other purpose than to absorb bad debts, the amount used will be added to future taxable income. The deferred tax liability on the above amount at December 31, 2009 and 2008, if recorded, would be approximately $1,224.
 
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards available to offset future taxable income.  The net operating losses begin to expire in 2023 if not utilized.  On November 9, 2009, the Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act was signed into law.  This act extended a five year net operating loss carryback that had previously been available to only small businesses.  The Company has filed the appropriate return with the Internal Revenue Service to carryback a federal 2008 net operating loss to 2005 resulting in the recognition of a current tax benefit of $2,290.

Note 12:  
Regulatory Matters
 
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. 
 
The Bank is subject to certain regulations on the amount of dividends it may declare without the prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision, its primary federal regulator.  Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any year is limited to that year's net profits, as defined, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years, less dividends declared during those periods.  As of January 1, 2010, due to the net loss of the Bank for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Bank would not have ability to pay dividends to the Company, without regulatory approval.
 
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum capital amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below).  Management believes, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
 
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the most recent notification from the regulatory agencies categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

1998 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan
 
The Bank has a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for certain active and retired directors and certain retired and active officers.  The agreement allowed the deferral of certain compensation to the plan.  Interest accrues on the deferred amounts at a rate tied to the rate paid by the Bank on one year certificate accounts at the beginning of each plan year.  Participants must elect the term over which to receive payments prior to the year the compensation would have been earned.  During the initial public offering, employees were given a one-time option to move from the 1998 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan to the new Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan.  The charge to expense for the agreement was $14 and $25 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Deferred compensation payable for this plan totaled $569 and $687 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

On January 1, 2007, the Bank implemented a nonqualified deferred compensation agreement with certain executive officers, senior management and other key employees.  The agreement provides the Bank will make contributions to the plan that will vest over a three to five year period.  During the initial public offering employees were given a one time option to move from the 2007 Deferred Incentive Plan to the new Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan.  All employees elected to participate in the stock plan.  The deferred incentive plan had no participants during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Effective October 1, 2007, the Bank implemented a deferral plan with certain directors, executive officers, senior management and other key employees.  The plan allowed identified participants the option to convert other cash based deferred compensation plan awards to the new Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan and to purchase stock during the initial public offering.  Amounts transferred into the new Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan from the Bank’s other deferred compensation plans, which were approximately $1,500, were used by the plan to purchase shares of the Company’s stock from its initial public offering.  The provision of the conversion was a one time event for previous plans.  Additionally directors can elect to contribute fees earned to the plan.  The charge to expense for this plan was $238 and $268 for 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Restricted stock recorded as a contra equity account was $1,708 and $1,601 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, of which $837 and $352 was earned by participants as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan provides for fixed payments or a lump sum payment in shares of common stock of the Company after termination from service as defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.  The common stock purchased for this Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan is maintained in a Rabbi Trust (“Trust”), on behalf of the participants.  The assets of the Trust are subject to the claims of general creditors of the Company.  Dividends payable on the common stock held by the Trust are reinvested in additional shares of common stock of the Company and held in the Trust for the benefit of the participants.  Since the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan does not provide for diversification of the Trust’s assets and can only be settled with a fixed number of shares of the Company’s common stock, the deferred compensation obligation is classified as a component of shareholders’ equity.  Subsequent changes in the fair value of common stock are not reflected in earnings or shareholders’ equity of the Company.  The obligations of the Company under the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, and the shares held by the Trust, have no effect on net income.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
 
The Company sponsors a leveraged ESOP that covers substantially all employees who meet certain age and eligibility requirements.  As part of the initial public offering the ESOP purchased 421,174 shares, or approximately 8% of the 5,264,683 shares issued in the offering with the proceeds of a 20-year loan from the Company which is payable in annual installments and bears interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum.
 
The Bank has committed to make contributions to the ESOP sufficient to support the debt service of the loan.  The loan is secured by the unallocated shares, which are held in a suspense account, and are allocated among the participants as the loan is repaid.  Cash dividends paid on allocated shares are distributed to the participants and cash dividends paid on unallocated shares are used to repay the outstanding debt of the ESOP.
 
ESOP shares are held by the plan trustee in a suspense account until allocated to participant accounts.  Shares released from the suspense account are allocated to participants on the basis of their relative compensation in the year of allocation.  Participants become vested in the allocated shares over a period not to exceed six years.  Any forfeited shares are allocated to other participants in the same proportion as contributions.  At December 31, 2009, the ESOP held 42,843 shares allocated and 26,055 shares committed to be allocated.   The Bank is obligated at the option of each beneficiary to repurchase shares of the ESOP upon the beneficiary’s termination or after retirement.
 
As ESOP shares are earned by the participants, the Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the earned ESOP shares.  Total compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $207 and $244, respectively.  The ESOP shares as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

2008 Equity Incentive Plan

The First Advantage Bancorp 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (“the 2008 Plan”) was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 11, 2008.  Under the terms of the 2008 Plan, the Company may grant stock awards and stock options to its employees, officers and directors.  The purpose of the 2008 Plan is to promote the success of the Company by linking the personal interests of its employees, officers and directors to the interests of the Company’s shareholders, and by providing participants with an incentive for remarkable performance.  All of the Company’s employees, officers and directors are eligible to participate in the 2008 Plan.  A committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company (which consists of at least two disinterested directors) (the “Committee”) serves as administrator of the 2008 Plan.  The Committee has sole authority to designate participants; determine the type or types of awards to be granted to each participant and the number, terms and conditions of awards; establish, adopt or revise any rules and regulations as it may deem advisable to administer the 2008 Plan; and make all other decisions and determinations that may be required under the 2008 Plan.

Under the terms of the 2008 Plan, the Company granted shares of common stock in the form of restricted stock and options to its directors, officers and employees on August 11, 2008 and November 12, 2008.

The restricted common stock awards vest at a rate of 20% per year from the date of grant.  The fair market value of the stock awards, based on the market price at the date of grant, is recorded as recorded as a contra equity account.

Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options were granted under the Plan.  The exercise price for each option was equal to the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and the maximum term of each option is ten years.  The vesting period for all options is five years from the date of grant.  The Company recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period, based on the grant-date fair value of the options granted.  The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The fair value of the 2008 Plan stock options granted is estimated on the measurement date, which, for the Company, is the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the fair value of options granted are detailed in the table below:
 
Risk-free interest rate
    3.49 %
Dividend yield
    2.00 %
Expected market price volatility
    22.07 %
Expected term
 
6.5 Years
 
 
The total intrinsic value of vested stock options at December 31, 2009 was $165.
 
The fair value of non-vested restricted stock awards for the purposes of recognizing stock-based compensation expense is the market price of the stock award on the measurement date, which, for the Company, is the date of the award.
 
Stock-based compensation expense totaled $668 in 2009 and $246 in 2008.  Stock-based compensation is recognized ratably over the requisite service period for all awards.  The total income tax benefit recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income related to stock-based compensation was $256 in 2009 and $94 in 2008.  Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options totaled $882 at December 31, 2009.  At December 31, 2009, the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized expense related to stock options was expected to be recognized was 3.6 years.  Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted awards was $1,545 at December 31, 2009.  At December 31, 2009, the weighted-average period over which unrecognized expense related to restricted stock awards was expected to be recognized was 3.6 years.
 
Note 15:  
Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.  The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
 
·  
Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
 
·  
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
 
·  
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
 
A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value effective for all periods presented. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined by matrix pricing, and in some cases, fair value is determined by an independent third party.  Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial statements are recorded at fair value.  These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality as well as unobservable parameters.  Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.
 
The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. Furthermore, the reported fair value amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since the presentation dates, and therefore, estimates of fair value after the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following:
 
Securities Available for Sale

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by a matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.  Level 2 securities include U. S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, asset-backed and other securities.  Level 3 securities include preferred term securities that are not traded in an active market with a fair value determined by an independent third party.

Certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically result from the application of lower of cost or market accounting or a write-down occurring during the period.  The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities on a nonrecurring basis:
 
Loans Held For Sale

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value and represent loans that are awaiting delivery to a specific committed buyer.  The fair value of loans held for sale is based on specific prices committed to be paid for each individual loan.  As such, the Company classifies loans held for sale subject to fair value adjustments as Level 2.

Other real estate owned is carried at lower of cost or estimated fair value.  The estimated fair vale of the real estate is determined through current appraisals, or management’s best estimate of the value and adjusted as necessary, by management, to reflect current market conditions.  As such, other real estate owned is generally classified as Level 3.

The “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures” topic of the FASB ASC requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest and the cash surrender value of life insurance policies. The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:
 
General
 
For short-term financial instruments realizable in four months or less, the carrying amount approximates fair value.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Interest Receivable
 
The carrying amount approximates fair value, primarily due to their short-term nature.
 
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
 
It is not practicable to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.
 
Available-for-Sale Securities
 
Fair values equal quoted market prices, if available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices of similar securities.
 
Loans Held for Sale
 
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value and represent loans that are awaiting delivery to a specific committed buyer.  The fair value of loans held for sale is based on specific prices committed to be paid for each individual loan.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
 
Loans
 
The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.  Loans with similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations.  The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.
 
Deposits
 
Deposits include non-interest bearing checking accounts and interest bearing deposits, including savings accounts, checking accounts and money market deposits.  The carrying amount for these deposits approximates fair value.  The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase
 
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short time between the origination of the agreements and their expected realization.
 
Interest Payable
 
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short time between the origination of the liability and its expected realization.
 
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
 
Rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt.
 
Commitments to Originate Loans, Forward Sale Commitments, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit
 
The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties.  For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.  The fair value of forward sale commitments is estimated based on current market prices for loans of similar terms and credit quality.  The fair values of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.

Commitments to Originate Loans
 
Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since a portion of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.  Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate.
 
At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans aggregating $6,097 and $3,573, respectively.  The commitments extended over varying periods of time with the majority being disbursed within a one-year period.
 
Mortgage loans in the process of origination represent amounts that the Bank plans to fund within a normal period of 60 to 90 days, and which are intended for sale to investors in the secondary market.  Total mortgage loans in the process of origination amounted to approximately $1,577 and $1,096, and mortgage loans held for sale amounted to $2,265 and $866 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
The Bank had recourse commitments on loans sold on the secondary market of approximately $14,935 and $10,222 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Recourse provisions expire within one to six months from the date of transfer.

Standby Letters of Credit
 
Standby letters of credit are irrevocable conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Financial standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions.  Performance standby letters of credit are issued to guarantee performance of certain customers under non-financial contractual obligations.  The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.  Should the Bank be obligated to perform under the standby letters of credit, the Bank may seek recourse from the customer for reimbursement of amounts paid.
 
The Bank had total outstanding standby letters of credit amounting to $215 and $122 December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, with terms generally ranging from 90 days to 13 months.
 
Lines of Credit
 
Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Lines of credit have fixed expiration dates.  Since a portion of the line may expire without being drawn upon, the total unused lines do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.  Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate.  Management uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
 
At December 31, 2009, the Bank had granted unused lines of credit to borrowers aggregating approximately $33,164 and $11,499 for commercial lines and open-end consumer lines, respectively.  At December 31, 2008, the Bank had granted unused lines of credit to borrowers aggregating approximately $32,003 and $10,411 on commercial lines and open-end consumer lines, respectively.
