On September 18, 2012, FirstFed Financial Corp. (the “Company”) filed its monthly operating report for the period beginning August 1, 2012 and ending August 31, 2012 (the “August Report”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The August Report is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Cautionary Statements Regarding August Report

The August Report is limited in scope, covers only a one-month time period and has been prepared solely for the purpose of the Company’s compliance with the monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The August Report contains financial information that (i) has not been audited or reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm; (ii) is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America; and (iii) may be subject to future reconciliation, adjustments or other modification or amendment. The information contained in the August Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable laws and regulations under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code and is not to be used for investment purposes. There can be no assurance that the August Report is complete. The Company may amend or otherwise change the information contained in the August Report at a future date. The operating results set forth in the August Report should not be viewed as indicative of the Company’s future results.

The August Report should under no circumstances be relied upon or viewed as a substitute, supplement or replacement for financial information that is filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The August Report contains information for periods which may be shorter or otherwise different from those contained in reports required pursuant to the Exchange Act. The August Report does not include footnotes that would ordinarily be contained in the financial statements in the Company’s quarterly and annual reports pursuant to the Exchange Act.
