Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1) Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
 
Organization. Federal Trust Corporation (“Federal Trust”) is the sole shareholder of Federal Trust Bank (the “Bank”) and Federal Trust Mortgage Company (the “Mortgage Company”). Federal Trust operates as a unitary savings and loan holding company. Federal Trust's primary business activity is the operation of the Bank and the Mortgage Company. The Bank is federally-chartered as a stock savings bank. The Bank’s deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank provides a wide range of banking services to individual and corporate customers through its nine offices located in Seminole, Volusia, Orange, and Lake Counties, Florida. The Mortgage Company was established to provide residential loan products for customers of the Bank, to close mortgage loans on behalf of certain third party purchasers, and to sell mortgage loans in the secondary market.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Federal Trust, the Bank and the Mortgage Company (collectively referred to herein as, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (principally consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2007, and the results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and cash flows for the six months period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ended December 31, 2007. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
 
In February 2007, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS 159 and does not anticipate it will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
 
On February 21, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 158-1 Conforming Amendments to the Illustrations in FASB Statements No. 87, No. 88, and No. 106 and to the Related Staff Implementation Guides. This Staff Position and the related FASB Statements deal with accounting for pension plans and other postretirement benefits. The Company does not presently have pension plans or other postretirement benefit plans that require accounting under these pronouncements and as such does not anticipate this Staff Position will have any effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS 157 and does not anticipate it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

A provision for loan losses is charged to earnings based upon management’s evaluation of the potential losses in the loan portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, management made a provision of $5,295,000 based on our evaluation of the loan portfolio, compared to a provision of $234,000 made in the comparable period in 2006. The increased provision for the 2007 second quarter was due to the increase in nonaccrual loans and a decline in real estate collateral values. Our evaluation of the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2007, included an assessment of the current market values for the non-accrual loans, our ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio and an independent credit review of our construction and commercial real estate loan portfolio. As a percent of loans, net of undisbursed loans in process, the total allowance increased from .84% at December 31, 2006 to 1.70% at June 30, 2007. Based on our review, management believes that the $10.3 million allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2007 is adequate.

The total non-accrual loans at June 30, 2007 were $31.2 million, up from $12.0 million at December 31, 2006. The increase during the first six months of 2007 was largely attributable to commercial loans involving residential properties located in Florida and included $9.8 million of residential construction loans, of which $7.2 million was to two related companies. Most of these loans were for construction of pre-sold residences where the ultimate buyer of the home defaulted on their purchase contract. In certain instances, construction had not commenced and the builder was left with unsold lots, in other cases the home was completed. The borrower was unable to make the interest payments and the loans are in default. Also included in the June total was $7.0 million of single family construction loans that are located primarily in Lee County, Florida. The loans were originated and are being serviced by a third party. These delinquencies were due, in most cases, to loans that matured before construction commenced and were not renewed by the borrower due to declining values in the local real estate market. Our advances in these loans were primarily for the vacant lots and they will either be converted to lot loans or be foreclosed.

Also included in non-accrual loans at June 30, 2007, was a $4.0 million participation in a real estate loan secured by a planned condominium site on the Gulf of Mexico in the Florida panhandle. The borrower has been unable to secure additional financing or equity partners and the loan is in process of foreclosure. Three other commercial loans which totaled $8.3 million at June 30, 2007, have collateral well in excess of the respective loan balances and we anticipate a full recovery of principal, interest and fees. Therefore, there was also no specific allowance for loan losses related to those three loans.

The remaining $2.0 million in non-accrual loans at June 30, 2007, was in one-to-four residential properties to both domestic and foreign national borrowers for properties in Florida.

We have not originated or purchased payment option adjustable rate loans and our core portfolio of residential loans continues to perform well.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.

(4) (Loss) Earnings Per Share of Common Stock
 
The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”). SFAS No. 128 provides accounting and reporting standards for calculating (loss) earnings per share. Basic (loss) earnings per share of common stock, has been computed by dividing the net loss or earnings for the period by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Shares of common stock purchased by the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) are considered outstanding when the shares are allocated to participants. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss or earnings by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding including the dilutive effect of stock options computed using the treasury stock method and the restricted stock units. Outstanding stock options are not considered dilutive securities for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, due to the net loss incurred by the Company. The following table presents the calculation of basic (loss) earnings per share for the three- and six-month periods ending June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three- and six-month periods ending June 30, 2006.

(5) Stock Compensation Plans
 
The Company has three stock options plans. As a result of a 2% stock dividend declared on April 25, 2006, for shareholders of record on June 1, 2006, we have made proportionate adjustments to the number of shares of common stock covered by the stock options and stock units and in the purchase price per share of the stock option and stock units so as to prevent dilution of rights of the participant. The Key Employee Stock Compensation Program (the “Employee Plan”) is authorized to issue up to 10% of the issued shares up to a maximum of 1,020,000 shares through the exercise of incentive stock options, compensatory stock options, stock appreciation rights or performance shares. All awards granted under the Employee Plan have been incentive stock options. These options have five or ten year terms and vest over various terms up to five years. At June 30, 2007, the Company had 266,501 options available for future grants under the Employee Plan.
 
The Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”) is authorized to issue up to 140,000 shares. All options granted under the Director Plan have ten-year terms, are fully vested and exercisable and have all been allocated as of June 30, 2007.
 
At the Annual Meeting held on May 27, 2005, the shareholders approved the 2005 Directors’ Stock Plan (“2005 Directors’ Plan”), which is authorized to issue up to 91,800 shares. Awards made under the 2005 Directors’ Plan may be in the form of restricted shares, stock units, or stock options. A stock unit is the right to receive a share of common stock, after vesting, on a date elected by the director. While any stock unit is outstanding the director holding the stock unit will be entitled to receive a dividend in the form of additional stock units, if cash or stock dividends are declared on outstanding shares of common stock. Each stock unit, including fractional stock units, will be converted to one share of common stock, after vesting, on the date which has been selected by the director. Awards of shares or stock units may be awarded to a director as an annual stock retainer, which is dependent upon the amount of the director’s annual cash retainer.
 
The 2005 Directors’ Plan also provides for discretionary awards of restricted shares, stock units or stock options, which may be granted by the Board to recognize additional services provided to the Company. Any stock options granted may not be exercisable for less than fair market value per share on the date of grant, and can be exercised after 6 months from the date of grant and before the earlier of 10 years after the date of the award, or one year from the date the director’s service is terminated by reason of retirement or death. Restricted Stock Units have been issued to three directors under the 2005 Directors’ Plan. Under terms of those respective agreements, the units vest over periods from three to four years (in near equal installments), unless there is a change in control, at which point the units vest immediately. As a Restricted Stock Unit, no shares will be physically issued on vested units until the Director elects to receive the shares, or no longer serves on the Board.

(5) Stock Compensation Plans, Continued
 
Options are granted to certain employees and directors at a price equal to the market value of the stock on the dates the options were granted. The options granted have a term of either five or ten years and vest ratably over various terms up to five years. In accordance with SFAS 123(R), the fair value of each option is amortized using the straight-line method over the requisite service period of each option. We have estimated the fair value of all option awards as of the grant date by applying the Black-Scholes pricing valuation model. The application of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and sensitive in the determination of compensation expense. There were no stock options issued during the second quarter 2007. The weighted average amounts for key assumptions used in determining the fair value of options granted during the second quarter of 2006 and the first half of 2007 and 2006 follows:

As part of its adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company examined its historical pattern of option exercises in an effort to determine if there was any pattern based on certain employee populations. From this analysis, the Company could not identify any patterns in the exercise of options. As such, the Company used the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission to determine the estimated life of options issued. Historical information was the primary basis for the selection of expected volatility and expected dividend yield. The risk-free rate was selected based upon yields of U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Federal Trust Corporation
Sanford, Florida:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Federal Trust Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2007, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three- and six-month period ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 13, 2007 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

FEDERAL TRUST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Comparison of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006

General

Federal Trust Corporation (“Federal Trust”) is the sole shareholder of Federal Trust Bank (the “Bank”) and Federal Trust Mortgage Company (the “Mortgage Company”). Federal Trust operates as a unitary savings and loan holding company. Federal Trust's business activities primarily include the operation of the Bank and the Mortgage Company. Federal Trust, the Bank and the Mortgage Company are collectively referred to herein as the “Company.” The Bank is federally-chartered as a stock savings bank. The Bank’s deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank provides a wide range of banking services to individual and corporate customers through its nine offices located in Seminole, Volusia, Orange, and Lake Counties, Florida. The Mortgage Company was established to provide residential loan products for customers of the Bank, to close mortgage loans on behalf of certain third party purchasers, and to sell mortgage loans in the secondary market.

Forward Looking Statements

Readers should note, in particular, that this document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this document, or in the documents incorporated by reference herein, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “may”, “intend” and “expect” and similar expressions identify certain of such forward-looking statements. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein. Actual results may differ materially, depending upon a variety of important factors, including competition, inflation, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates and changes in the value of collateral securing loans we have made, among other things.

Capital Resources

During the six-months ended June 30, 2007, the Company's primary source of funds consisted of net principal repayments and sales of loans of $26.2 million and net principal repayments and sales of securities available for sale of $13.8 million. The Company used its sources of funds principally to purchase loans of $25.3 million and to originate $4.7 million of loans for resale and to purchase securities available for sale totaling $14.0 million. On January 30, 2007, the Company exercised its option to purchase the office building which houses the Executive, Administrative, Lending and Operations departments, by paying off the outstanding capitalized lease balance of $2.5 million.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, standby letters of credit and loans in process. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the Company's involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued

The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, standby letters of credit and loans in process is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counter party.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.

A summary of the amounts of the Company's financial instruments, with off-balance-sheet risk at June 30, 2007, follows ($ in thousands):

   
Contract Amount
 
Commitments to extend credit
 
$
40,369
 
         
Unused lines of credit
 
$
12,359
 
         
Standby letters of credit
 
$
1,434
 
         
Loans in process
 
$
31,166
 
 
Management believes the Company has adequate resources to fund all its commitments. At June 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $302.1 million in time deposits maturing in one year or less. Management also believes that, if so desired, it can adjust the rates on time deposits to retain or obtain new deposits in a changing interest rate environment.

Management believes the Bank was in compliance with all minimum capital requirements which it was subject to at June 30, 2007. See note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management is not aware of any trends, demands, commitments or uncertainties which are expected to have a material impact on future operating results, liquidity or capital resources, except for the increase in nonaccrual loans as discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
