Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

Ottawa Savings Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) is the federally chartered savings and loan holding company of Ottawa Savings Bank (the Bank) and was formed upon completion of the Bank’s reorganization from a mutual to stock form of organization on July 11, 2005.

The Bank is a community and customer oriented savings bank. The Bank’s business has historically consisted of attracting deposits from the general public and using those funds to originate one-to-four family residential loans, consumer loans and other loans. The Bank completed its plan of conversion on July 11, 2005 (see Note 5), and upon which the Bank converted from an Illinois-chartered mutual savings bank to a federally-chartered mutual savings bank. The Bank completed its reorganization on that same date, pursuant to which the Bank converted from a federally-chartered mutual savings bank to a federally-chartered stock savings bank, all of the outstanding stock of which was issued to Ottawa Savings Bancorp, Inc. As part of the reorganization, Ottawa Savings Bancorp, Inc. issued 1,001,210 shares to the public and 1,223,701 shares to Ottawa Savings Bancorp, MHC.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements presented in this quarterly report include the accounts of the Company. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and predominant practices followed by the financial services industry, and are unaudited. Interim statements are subject to possible adjustment in connection with the annual audit of the Company. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and the results of operations and cash flows have been recorded. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2005. The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company’s operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

NOTE 3 – USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

At June 30, 2006, there were no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in the 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in March 2006.

NOTE 4 – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or income to be critical accounting policies. We consider the allowance for loan losses, market value of investment securities available for sale and the liability for postretirement benefits to be our critical accounting policies.

OTTAWA SAVINGS BANCORP, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(continued)

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is an amount necessary to absorb known or inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable and is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and 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 each 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.

Market value of investment securities available for sale. Market values for investment securities are provided monthly by a third party service provider. Management is also responsible for evaluating all investments with unrealized losses on a regular basis to determine whether investments with unrealized losses should be written down to realizable amounts. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) our intent and ability to retain our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Liability for post retirement benefits. The liability for post retirement benefits was estimated based upon an actuarial report obtained by Company management from an experienced, third party actuary. Assumptions used by the actuary in the calculation include discount rates, current and future health care costs, life expectancies, and employee years of service.

NOTE 5 – ADOPTION OF PLAN OF CONVERSION

On January 20, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Bank unanimously adopted a plan of conversion, under which the Bank would be converted from an Illinois chartered mutual savings bank to a Federally chartered mutual savings bank. Pursuant to the Bank’s plan of reorganization, the Bank converted from a Federally chartered mutual savings bank to a Federally chartered stock savings bank. All of the common stock of the Bank following the reorganization is held by Ottawa Savings Bancorp, Inc. The members of the Bank approved the plan of conversion at a meeting held on May 5, 2005. The members of the Bank approved the plan of reorganization at a meeting held on June 28, 2005.

In adopting the plan, the Board of Directors of the Bank determined that the conversion was advisable and in the best interests of its members and the Bank and that the conversion would not have any adverse impact on the reserves and net worth of the Bank.

The conversion was completed on July 11, 2005 when the Company issued 1,001,210 shares of common stock to the public resulting in $10,012,100 of gross proceeds. An additional 1,223,701 shares were issued to the mutual holding company formed as part of the reorganization, Ottawa Savings Bancorp, MHC. Costs to complete the stock offering of $1,469,411 were deducted from the gross proceeds of the offering.

NOTE 6 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. ESOP shares which are committed to be released are considered outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 7 – EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

On July 11, 2005, the Company established an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) for the benefit of substantially all employees. The ESOP borrowed $763,140 from the Company and used those funds to acquire 76,314 shares of the Company’s stock in the initial public offering at a price of $10.00 per share.

Shares purchased by the ESOP with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account and are allocated to ESOP participants on a pro rata basis as principal and interest payments are made by the ESOP to the Company. The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Company’s discretionary contributions to the ESOP and earnings on the ESOP assets. Annual principal payments of approximately $50,876, plus interest at 6.25%, are to be made by the ESOP.

As shares are released from collateral, the Company will report compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares and the shares will become outstanding for earnings-per-share (EPS) computations. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares reduce accrued interest.

The following table reflects the status of the shares held by the plan

Unallocated shares		68,663		*

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) 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.

The unrealized losses at June 30, 2006 relate principally to interest rates relative to the market. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

NOTE 9 – ASSET QUALITY

This Statement requires that compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Measurement of the cost of employee service will be based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Additionally, liability awards will be remeasured each reporting period.

NOTE 11 – RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FIN 48. The Company will adopt this interpretation in the first quarter of 2007.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Statements contained in this report that are not historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), which involve significant risks and uncertainties. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of invoking these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” or similar expressions. The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain and actual results may differ from those predicted. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements in the future. The Company cautions readers of this report that a number of important factors could cause the Company’s actual results subsequent to June 30, 2006 to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those predicted and could affect the future prospects of the Company include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in market rates of interest and loan and deposit pricing, changes in the securities or financial market, a deterioration of general economic conditions either nationally or in our market areas, delays in obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals, our ability to consummate proposed transactions in a timely manner, legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business, adverse developments or changes in the composition of our loan or investment portfolios, significant increases in competition, changes in real estate values, difficulties in identifying attractive acquisition opportunities or strategic partners to complement our Company’s approach and the products and services the Company offers, the possible dilutive effect of potential acquisitions or expansion, and our ability to raise new capital as needed and the timing, amount and type of such capital raises. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements.

GENERAL

During the period from March 2000 until April 2004, as part of our investment activities, the Bank purchased loan participations from Commercial Loan Corporation of Oak Brook, Illinois (CLC). In April 2004, the Bank was informed by its regulators, the FDIC and Illinois Office of Banks and Real Estate (“OBRE”), that CLC had misappropriated funds from loans it was servicing for others. At that time, the Bank had 39 outstanding loan participations with CLC in the aggregate amount of approximately $15 million. In May 2004, CLC filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In December 2004, CLC’s remaining assets were transferred to the CLC Creditors Trust.

In December 2004, the Bank received a payment of $5.6 million in cash and loans from the CLC Creditors Trust. This payment included $784,000 in residential condominium loans, $2.5 million in commercial real estate loans, $518,000 in commercial lines of credit, $153,000 in residential real estate loans and $1.6 million in cash. Although the Bank has retained certain unsecured claims against the CLC Creditors Trust, the Bank has written off the remaining $9.5 million of the Bank’s investment in the CLC loan participations. The Bank’s financial results reflect these losses in the years in which they occurred. In October 2005 and March 2006, the Company received net settlements of $190,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, from the CLC Creditors Trust on previously charged-off loan participations with CLC. Any future recoveries of amounts previously charged off will be recorded as a recovery to the allowance for loan loss.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2006 AND DECEMBER 31, 2005

The Company’s total assets decreased $2.4 million, or 1.3%, to $183.5 million at June 30, 2006, from $185.9 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease reflected a decrease in securities available for sale of $2.9 million, a decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank stock of $1.2 million, and income tax refunds of $741,000, offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $516,000 and an increase in loans of $2.1 million.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $516,000 to $5.6 million at June 30, 2006 from $5.0 million at December 31, 2005, and these funds were reinvested in loans in accordance with the Company’s policy of maximizing its return on assets.

Securities available for sale decreased $2.9 million, or 7.6%, to $35.0 million at June 30, 2006 from $37.9 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease was the result maturities and repayments.

Loans increased $2.1 million, or 1.7%, to $127.1 million at June 30, 2006, from $124.9 million at December 31, 2005. The increase in loans was the result of normal origination and purchase activity in our loan portfolio.

Total deposits decreased $3.3 million, or 2.0%, to $161.6 million at June 30, 2006, from $164.9 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease reflects normal activity in our deposit accounts in an extremely competitive local market environment.

Equity increased $790,000, or 4.1%, to $20.0 million at June 30, 2006, from $19.2 million at December 31, 2005. This increase in equity reflects net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of $1.3 million offset by dividends declared of $101,000 and a decrease in other comprehensive income of $462,000 for the same period, which was due to the change in value of the available for sale securities portfolio triggered by an increase in interest rates.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 AND 2005

Net Income. The Company had net income of $325,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and 2005.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $204,000, or 9.1%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase in interest and dividend income was primarily due to an increase in the average yield on interest earning assets to 5.84% from 5.60%, and an increase of $7.4 million in average interest earning assets to $168.6 million from $161.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $224,000, or 19.6%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. This increase in interest expense reflects an increase in the cost of deposits to 3.44% from 2.85%, offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in average deposits to $158.9 million from $160.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $19,000, or 1.7%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, from $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Provision for Loan Losses. Management recorded no loss provision for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to a negative loss provision of $22,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Based on a general review of the loans that were in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2006 and 2005, management believes that the allowance is maintained at a level that represents its best estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio that were both probable and reasonably estimable.

Other Income. Other income decreased $2,000, or 1.3%, to $114,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, from $116,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease was primarily the result of a $74,000 reimbursement of organization costs for the CLC Trust received during the second quarter of 2005. Income from the sale of loans increased $12,000, or 153.8% to $19,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $7,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Customer service fees increased $15,000, or 52.6% to $44,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $29,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. Other miscellaneous income increased $46,000, or 838.3% to $52,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $6,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 primarily due to interest received on tax refunds.

Other Expenses. Other expenses increased $199,000, or 26.5%, to $949,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $750,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to increases in professional and legal fees of $72,000, compensation and benefits of $47,000, occupancy expense of $43,000 and other expenses of $37,000, partially offset by a decrease of $12,000 in advertising. For the three month period ended June 30, 2006, professional and legal fees increased $72,000 to $151,000 from $79,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2005 primarily due to the additional legal and accounting expenses associated with quarterly and annual reporting. For the three month period ended June 30, 2006, salaries and employee benefits increased $47,000 to $457,000 from $410,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2005. The increases in salaries and employee benefits was the result of the Company accruing for its employee incentive plan, increased employee insurance costs and increases in the cost of the Defined Benefit Retirement Plan. The increase in occupancy expense is the result of increased real estate taxes and depreciation costs associated with a larger building. The increase in other expenses was primarily due to a $20,000 increase in supervisory fees.

Income Taxes. The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $64,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to an income tax expense of $178,000 for the same period in 2005. For the period ending June 30, 2006 this amount has been adjusted due to managements’ re-evaluation of the deferred tax accounts. The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were (24.5)% and 35.4%, respectively.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 AND 2005

Net Income. The Company had net income of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to net income of $504,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in net income was primarily the result of a $1.3 million recovery of CLC loan losses, offset by an increase of $265,000 in total other expense and an increase of $222,000 in income tax expense.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $457,000, or 10.3%, to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase in interest and dividend income was primarily due to an increase in the average yield on interest earning assets to 5.79% from 5.58%, and an increase of $10.0 million in average interest earning assets to $168.9 million from $158.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $463,000, or 20.8%, to $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, from $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase in interest expense reflects an increase of $1.2 million in average interest-bearing deposits, and an increase in the cost of deposits to 3.37% from 2.81% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $6,000, or 0.3%, to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, from $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Provision for Loan Losses. Management recorded a negative loss provision of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to no loss provision for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Based on a general review of the loans that were in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2006 and 2005, management believes that the allowance is maintained at a level that represents its best estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio that were both probable and reasonably estimable.

Other Income. Other income increased $7,000, or 4.6%, to $151,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, from $144,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Income from the sale of loans increased $5,000, or 56.4% to $14,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $9,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Customer service fees increased $24,000, or 45.7% to $77,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $53,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Other miscellaneous income increased $51,000, or 635.7% to $59,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $8,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 primarily due to interest received on tax refunds. The increases in total other income were offset by a decrease of $74,000 in reimbursement of organization costs from the CLC Trust received in the second quarter of 2005.

Other Expenses. Other expenses increased $265,000, or 17.0%, to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increases were primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits of $111,000, occupancy expense of $85,000 and other expenses of $80,000, partially offset by a decrease in professional and legal fees of $23,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, salaries and employee benefits increased $111,000 to $890,000 from $779,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increases in salaries and employee benefits was the result of the Company accruing for its employee incentive plan, increased employee insurance costs and increases in the cost of the Defined Benefit Retirement Plan. The increase in occupancy expense is the result of increased real estate taxes and depreciation associated with a larger building. The decrease in the legal and professional expense is primarily the result of decreased expenses for audit, accounting and compliance attributable to the stock conversion. The increase in other expenses was primarily due to a $20,000 increase in supervisory fees and $13,000 in expenses to file annual reports and proxy statements.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $511,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to $289,000 for the same period in 2005. The income tax expense is a direct result of the pre tax income for the applicable periods. For the period ending June 30, 2006 this amount has been adjusted due to managements’ re-evaluation of the deferred tax accounts. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were 27.9% and 36.4%, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity. Liquidity management for the Bank is measured and monitored on both a short- and long-term basis, allowing management to better understand and react to emerging balance sheet trends. After assessing actual and projected cash flow needs, management seeks to obtain funding at the most economical cost to the Bank. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, and other short term investments, and funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from amortization of loans and mortgage-backed related securities and maturing investment securities and short term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which enable us to meet lending requirements. We utilize Federal Home Loan Bank advances as needed. There were no Federal Home Loan Bank advances at June 30, 2006 or at December 31, 2005.

At June 30, 2006 the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate $7.3 million in loans, unfunded lines of credit of $7.4 million, unfunded commitments on construction loans of $4.1 million, and unfunded standby letters of credit of $2.6 million. In addition, as of June 30, 2006, the total amount of certificates of deposit that were scheduled to mature in the following 12 months was $80.0 million. The Bank believes that it has adequate resources to fund all of its commitments and that it can adjust the rate on certificates of deposit to retain deposits in changing interest rate environments. If the Bank requires funds beyond its internal funding capabilities, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago are available as an additional source of funds. As of June 30, 2006 the Bank had $56.1 million of available credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago.

From December 31, 2005 through June 30, 2006, we received proceeds of $2.7 million from maturities, calls and paydowns of available for sale and held to maturity securities. These proceeds were primarily used to fund loans.

Capital. The Bank is required to maintain regulatory capital sufficient to meet Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 4.0%, 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively. The Bank exceeded each of its capital requirements with ratios at June 30, 2006 of 10.23%, 20.39% and 20.81%, respectively, and with ratios at December 31, 2005 of 9.23%, 17.59%, and 18.00%, respectively.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC reports. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

In addition, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
