	Amount
Average net investment in impaired loan	$	2,925

Interest income recognized on impaired loan	$	39

Interest income received on impaired loan	$	39

At December 31, 2006, the Company had no nonaccrual loans or loans over ninety days past due still accruing interest. Nonaccrual and past due loans were as follows as of March 31, 2007 (in thousands):


Nonaccrual loans	$	108

Past ninety days or more, but still accruing interest	$	—

(3) Regulatory Capital. The Bank is required to maintain certain minimum regulatory capital requirements. The following is a summary at March 31, 2007 of the regulatory capital requirements and the Bank’s capital on a percentage basis:


	Bank	Regulatory Requirement
Tier I capital to total average assets	11.42%	4.00%

Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets	15.09%	4.00%

Total capital to risk-weighted assets	15.75%	8.00%

(4) Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share were computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the effect of outstanding stock options, computed using the treasury stock method. All amounts reflect the 5% stock dividend declared in April 2006. Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2007		2006
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per common share		2,820,280		2,800,901

(5) Stock-Based Compensation. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company’s stock option plan was accounted for under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 (Opinion 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure) (collectively SFAS 123). No stock-based employee compensation cost was recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings through December 31, 2005, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)), using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized beginning in 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value calculated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). As of December 31, 2005, all stock options were fully vested and no options were granted in 2006 or 2007; therefore, no stock-based compensation has been recognized in 2006 or 2007.

The Company established an incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) for officers, directors and employees of the Company and reserved 544,840 (amended) shares of common stock for the plan. Both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options may be granted under the plan. The exercise price of the stock options is determined by the board of directors at the time of grant, but cannot be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The options vest over three and five years. However, the Company accelerated the vesting of all unvested options in the Plan in 2005, in order to reduce noncash compensation expense that would have been recorded in its consolidated statements of earnings in future years due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) in January 2006. The options must be exercised within ten years from the date of grant. At March 31, 2007, 9,240 options were available for grant.

(5) Stock-Based Compensation, Continued. A summary of the activity in the Company’s stock option plan is as follows. All amounts reflect the 5% stock dividend declared in April 2006. The Board of Directors did not adjust the exercise price of the stock options outstanding to reflect the 5% stock dividend (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007		467,250	$	8.04		6.4 years	$	1,033

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $80,000 and the tax benefit relating to the stock options exercised was $32,000.

(6) Sale of Branch. On February 1, 2007, the Company entered into a sale/leaseback transaction for its Galt Ocean Mile branch facility. No gain or loss was recognized on this transaction.

REVIEW BY INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Hacker, Johnson & Smith PA, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, have made a limited review of the interim financial data as of March 31, 2007, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, presented in this document, in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Their report furnished pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation S-X is included herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

OptimumBank Holdings, Inc.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of OptimumBank Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2007, and the condensed consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 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 condensed consolidated 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 7, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those 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.

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Comparison of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary sources of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2007 were from an increase in other borrowings of approximately $10.5 million, net deposit inflows of approximately $2.3 million, principal repayments of securities held to maturity of approximately $1.4 million and cash provided from operating activities of approximately $10.7 million. Cash was used primarily for net loan originations of approximately $4.1 million, purchases of securities of approximately $11.0 million and repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances of approximately $1.4 million. At March 31, 2007, the Company had time deposits of approximately $66.6 million that mature in one year or less. At March 31, 2007, the Company exceeded its regulatory liquidity requirements. Management believes that, if so desired, it can adjust the rates on time deposits to retain or attract deposits in a changing interest-rate environment.

The following table shows selected information for the periods ended or at the dates indicated:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued

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 and undisbursed 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 or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

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 and undisbursed 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 creditworthiness 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.

A summary of the amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, with off-balance sheet risk at March 31, 2007, follows (in thousands):


		Contract Amount
Commitments to extend credit	$	6,800

Undisbursed loans in process	$	250

Management believes that the Company has adequate resources to fund all of its commitments and that substantially all its existing commitments will be funded in the next twelve months.

OPTIMUMBANK HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

General. Net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2007, were $416,000 or $.15 per basic and $.14 per diluted share compared to net earnings of $516,000 or $.18 per basic and diluted share for the period ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in the Company’s net earnings was primarily due to an increase in the provision for loan loss.

Interest Income. Interest income increased to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Interest income on loans increased to $3.3 million due primarily to an increase in the average loan portfolio balance for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and an increase in the average yield earned from 6.99% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, to 7.40% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Interest income on securities increased to $449,000 due primarily to an increase in the average security balance for the three months ended March 31, 2007, and an increase in the average yield earned from 4.52% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, to 5.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Interest Expense. Interest expense on deposit accounts increased to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, from $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Interest expense increased primarily because of an increase in the average rate paid on deposits and an increase in the average balance of deposits during 2007. Interest expense on borrowings increased to $766,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, from $707,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, due to an increase in the average rate paid on borrowings and an increase in the average balance of borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance to a level deemed appropriate by management and is based upon historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Company, industry standards, the amount of nonperforming loans, general economic conditions, particularly as they relate to the Company’s market areas, and other factors related to the estimated collectibility of the Company’s loan portfolio. The provision for the three months ended March 31, 2007, was $311,000 compared to $106,000 for the same period in 2006. In the first quarter of 2007, a single-family residential loan was identified as impaired and an additional provision was made. The amount of $172,000 in construction cost overruns advanced by the Company on this loan was charged off to the allowance for loan losses during the quarter. Management believes the balance in the allowance for loan losses of $1,113,000 at March 31, 2007, is adequate.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income decreased to $234,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, from $272,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, primarily due to a gain recognized in 2006 on the payoff of Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $178,000, which was partially offset by a litigation settlement of $150,000 in March 2007.

Noninterest Expenses. Total noninterest expenses increased to $892,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, from $885,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $6,000, and an increase in occupancy and equipment of $8,000.

Income Taxes. Income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2007, were $202,000 (an effective rate of 32.7%) compared to income taxes of $287,000 (an effective rate of 35.7%) for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
