(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. Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following:

(5)      Stock-Based Compensation.Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company’s stock option plans were accounted for under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 (Opinion 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations, as permitted by FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(as amended by 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 plans 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 123R),using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized 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 during the period ending September 30, 2006; therefore, no stock-based compensation has been recognized in 2006.

In addition, prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the tax benefits of stock options exercised were classified as operating cash flows. Since the adoption of SFAS 123(R), tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for options are classified as financing cash flows. As the Company adopted the modified-prospective- transition method, the prior period condensed consolidated cash flow statement was not adjusted to reflect current period presentation.

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. The Company accelerated the vesting of all unvested options in the Plan in 2005, primarily 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. In accordance with SFAS 123, in 2005 the Company expensed the remaining unrecognized compensation cost associated with these options in the proforma disclosure. The options must be exercised within ten years from the date of grant. At September 30, 2006, 9,240 options were available for grant.

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 September 30, 2006, and the condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and the related condensed consolidated statements of stockholders equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. 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, 2005, 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 10, 2006, 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, 2005, 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 September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005



Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Companys primary sources of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were from net deposit inflows of approximately $14.8 million, principal repayments of securities held to maturity of approximately $2.8 million and cash provided from operating activities of approximately $4.4 million. Cash was used primarily for net loan originations of approximately $6.6 million, purchases of securities of approximately $4.9 million and repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances of approximately $5.1 million. At September 30, 2006, the Company had time deposits of approximately $59.8 million that mature in one year or less. At September 30, 2006, 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:

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 September 30, 2006, follows (in thousands):

|                             |  |                  |        | 
|---------------------------- |  | ---------------- | ------ | 
|                             |  | Contract 
Amount |       
|Commitments to extend credit |  | $                | 12,455 | 
|Undisbursed loans in process |  | $                | 84     | 

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 September 30, 2006 and 2005

General.Net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2006, were $451,000 or $.16 per basic and $.15 per diluted share compared to net earnings of $401,000 or $.14 per basic and diluted share for the period ended September 30, 2005. This increase in the Companys net earnings was primarily due to an increase in net interest income.

Interest Income.Interest income increased to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Interest income on loans increased to $3.2 million due primarily to an increase in the yield earned on the loans for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and an increase in the average loan portfolio balance in 2006.

Interest Expense.Interest expense on deposit accounts increased to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $985,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Interest expense on deposits increased primarily because of an increase in the average balance of deposits and the average rate paid during 2006. Interest expense on borrowings increased to $749,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $543,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 due primarily to an increase in the average balance of borrowings.

Provision (Credit) for Loan Losses.The provision (credit) 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 Company recorded a provision for the three months ended September 30, 2006 of $12,000 compared to a credit of $(40,000) for the same period in 2005. Management believes the balance in the allowance for loan losses of $922,000 at September 30, 2006, is adequate.

Noninterest Income.Total noninterest income decreased to $108,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $163,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to decreases in prepayment fees collected and service charges and fees.

Noninterest Expenses.Total noninterest expenses decreased to $890,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $918,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Income Taxes.Income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2006, were $272,000 (an effective rate of 37.6%) compared to income taxes of $247,000 (an effective rate of 38.1%) for the three months ended September 30, 2005.

General.Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, were $1,454,000 or $.52 per basic and $.49 per diluted share compared to net earnings of $1,173,000 or $.42 per basic and $.41 per diluted share for the period ended September 30, 2005. This increase in the Companys net earnings was primarily due to an increase in net interest income.

Interest Income.Interest income increased to $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Interest income on loans increased to $9.3 million due primarily to an increase in the yield earned on the loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and an increase in the average loan portfolio balance in 2006.

Interest Expense.Interest expense on deposit accounts increased to $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Interest expense on deposits increased primarily because of an increase in the average balance of deposits and the average rate paid during 2006. Interest expense on borrowings increased to $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 due primarily to 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 nine months ended September 30, 2006, was $145,000 compared to $105,000 for the same period in 2005. Management believes the balance in the allowance for loan losses of $922,000 at September 30, 2006, is adequate.

Noninterest Income.Total noninterest income decreased to $560,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $642,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 primarily as a result of a decrease in prepayment fees collected of $246,000 and a decrease in service charges and fees of $76,000 partially offset by an increase in gains recognized on the payoff of Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $178,000 and a litigation settlement of $93,000 in 2006.

Noninterest Expenses.Total noninterest expenses increased to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $86,000 and an increase in professional fees of $70,000, all due to the continued growth of the Company.

Income TaxesIncome taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, were $853,000 (an effective rate of 37.0%) compared to income taxes of $719,000 (an effective rate of 38.0%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
