                including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors’
                products and services;





·
            the
                willingness of users to substitute our products and services for
                products
                and services of our competitors;





·
            our

            the
                impact of changes in financial services’ laws and regulations (including

            the
                success, when applicable, of our loan restructuring and work out
                arrangements;

            changes
                in consumer spending and saving habits;

**PART
      I**




**Item
      1. Description of Business**




AMB
      Financial was formed in 1993 by American Savings under the laws of Delaware
      for
      the purpose of becoming a savings and loan holding company. American Savings,
      headquartered in Munster, Indiana, was founded in 1957 as a federally chartered
      institution. In March 1996, American Savings converted to the stock form of
      organization through the sale and issuance of 1,686,169 (split adjusted) shares
      of its common stock to AMB Financial. The principal asset of AMB Financial
      is
      the outstanding stock of American Savings. AMB Financial presently has no
      separate operations and its business consists only of the business of American
      Savings. All references to AMB Financial, unless otherwise indicated, at or
      before March 29, 1996 refer to American Savings. References in this Form 10-KSB
      to “we”, “us” and “our” refer to AMB Financial and/or American Savings as the
      context requires.




We
      are a
      community-based financial institution that offers a variety of selected
      financial services to meet the needs of the community we serve. We attract
      deposits from the general public and use such deposits to originate and purchase
      one- to four-family residential mortgages and, to a lesser extent,
      non-residential real estate, multi-family real estate, consumer, commercial
      business, land and construction loans. We also invest in mortgage-backed
      securities, investment securities consisting primarily of U.S. government
      obligations and various types of short-term liquid assets. See “- Lending
      Activities” and “- Investment Activities.”




We
      serve
      the financial needs of families and local businesses in our primary market
      area,
      northwest Lake County, Indiana, through our main office located in Munster,
      Indiana and two branch offices located in the communities of Dyer and Hammond,
      Indiana. Our deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit
      Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). At December 31, 2006, we had total assets of
      $182.3 million, deposits of $124.9 million and stockholders’ equity of $14.7
      million or 8.04% of total assets.




Our
      executive office is located at 8230 Hohman Avenue, Munster, Indiana 46321-1578
      and our telephone number at that address is (219) 836-5870.


**Recent
      Activity**




As
      reported on Form 8-K, on March 22, 2007, we
      completed a sale of an aggregate amount of $3,000,000 in trust preferred
      securities, liquidation amount $1,000 per security, through a newly formed
      Delaware statutory trust subsidiary, AMB Financial Trust II. Also, as reported
      on Form 8-K, on March 23, 2007, we entered into a credit agreement with U.S.
      Bank National Association to provide a revolving line of credit to us in the
      amount of $2,000,000. These transactions complete our redemption of
      approximately $5,000,000 of trust preferred securities previously issued through
      AMB Financial Trust I, the Company’s Connecticut statutory trust
      subsidiary.




**Lending
      Activities**




Our
      principal lending activity is originating and, to a lesser extent, purchasing
      first mortgage loans secured by owner-occupied one- to four-family residential
      properties located in our primary market areas. We also originate and purchase
      non-residential real estate, multi-family real estate, consumer, commercial
      business, land and construction loans. In addition to increasing the yield
      and/or the interest rate sensitivity of our portfolio, these non-one- to four
      family loans allow us to provide more comprehensive financial services to
      families and community businesses in our primary market area.

The
      following table illustrates the interest rate sensitivity of the loan portfolio
      at December 31, 2006. Mortgages which have adjustable or renegotiable interest
      rates are shown as maturing in the period during which the contract requires
      the
      final payment to be made. This is shown without regard to interest rate
      adjustments. The table does not reflect the effects of possible prepayments
      or
      enforcement of due-on-sale clauses.

As
      of
      December 31, 2006, the total amount of loans due after December 31, 2007 which
      had predetermined interest rates was $104.0 million. The total amount of loans
      due after such dates which have floating or adjustable interest rates is $28.5
      million.

Under
      federal law, the aggregate amount of loans that we are permitted to make to
      any
      one borrower is generally limited to 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus
      (25%
      if the security for such loan has a “readily marketable” value or 30% for
      certain residential development loans). At December 31, 2006, our regulatory
      loan-to-one borrower limit was approximately $2.3 million. On the same date,
      we
      had no borrowers with outstanding balances in excess of this amount. As of
      December 31, 2006, the largest dollar amount of indebtedness to one borrower
      or
      group of related borrowers was a $2.3 million land development loan located
      in
      Northwest Indiana. On the same date, this loan was performing in accordance
      with
      its terms.




All
      of
      our lending is subject to our written underwriting standards and to loan
      origination procedures. Decisions on loan applications are made on the basis
      of
      detailed applications and property valuations by qualified independent
      appraisers.




Loans
      generated by the Bank are approved by Bank officers dependent on their
      individual level of approval authority and based on the type of collateral
      securing the loan under consideration. Officers may join together to approve
      individual loans in excess of their individual authority. Loans greater than
      $1
      million must be approved by the Board of Directors after review and preliminary
      approval by officers. The loan applications are designed primarily to determine
      the borrower’s ability to repay and the more significant items on the
      application are verified through use of credit reports, financial statements,
      tax returns and/or confirmations.




Generally,
      we require title insurance on our mortgage loans as well as fire and extended
      coverage casualty insurance in amounts at least equal to the principal amount
      of
      the loan or the value of improvements on the property, depending on the type
      of
      loan. We also require flood insurance to protect the property securing our
      interest when the property is located in a flood plain or otherwise deemed
      prudent by management.




*One-to-Four
      Family Residential Real Estate Lending* .
      The
      cornerstone of our lending program is the origination of long-term permanent
      loans secured by mortgages on owner-occupied one- to four-family residences.
      At
      December 31, 2006, $105.2 million, or 67.08% of our loan portfolio consisted
      of
      permanent loans on one- to four-family residences. At that date, the average
      outstanding residential loan balance was $107,000 and the largest outstanding
      residential loan had a principal balance of $876,000. Virtually all of the
      residential loans we originate are secured by properties located in our market
      area. However, we have purchased a number of one-to-four family residential
      loans secured by properties located out of our market area in the last three
      years. See “Originations, Sales and Purchases of Loans.”




We
      originate 15-30-year fixed rate loans secured by one- to four-family residential
      real estate as a result of continued consumer demand. We monitor the volume
      and
      rate of our fixed rate loans to ensure compliance with our asset/liability
      management policy. At December 31, 2006, we had, exclusive of balloon loans,
      $11.6 million of fixed-rate residential loans with less than 10 years to
      contractual maturity, $18.2 million of fixed-rate residential loans with
      remaining contractual maturities between 10 and 20 years and $32.2 million
      of
      fixed-rate residential loans with remaining contractual maturities in excess
      of
      21 years in its portfolio. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
      Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Asset/Liability Management” in
      our Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2006 attached
      hereto as Exhibit 13 (the “Annual Report”).




In
      addition, we originate (subject to consumer demand) and acquire adjustable
      rate
      mortgage and balloon loans to reduce our exposure to changes in interest rates.
      We retain and service all adjustable rate mortgages and balloon loans we
      originate. We make such loans at rates, terms and points determined in
      accordance with market and competitive factors. Our current one- to four-family
      residential adjustable rate mortgages are fully amortizing loans with
      contractual maturities of up to 30 years. The interest rates on the adjustable
      rate mortgages we originate are generally subject to adjustment at three-year
      intervals based on a margin over the Three Year Treasury Securities Constant
      Maturity Index. Decreases or increases in the interest rate of our adjustable
      rate mortgages are generally limited to 5% above or below the initial interest
      rate over the life of the loan. Our adjustable rate mortgages are not
      convertible into fixed-rate loans, do not contain prepayment penalties and
      do
      not produce negative amortization. Adjustable rate mortgage loans may be assumed
      by other lenders provided home buyers meet our underwriting standards and the
      applicable fees are paid. At December 31, 2006, the total balance of one- to
      four-family adjustable rate mortgages was $24.7 million.

Our
      balloon loans generally carry three to five year terms and 25 year amortization
      schedules. On December 31, 2006, we had $18.5 million of one -to-four family
      balloon loans.




We
      evaluate both the borrower’s ability to make principal, interest and escrow
      payments and the value of the property that will secure the loan. We originate
      residential mortgage loans with loan-to-value ratios up to 95%. On mortgage
      loans exceeding an 80% loan-to-value ratio at the time of origination, we will
      generally require private mortgage insurance in an amount intended to reduce
      our
      exposure to 80% or less of the appraised value of the underlying
      property.




As
      of
      December 31, 2006, we had sixteen one- to four-family residential mortgage
      loans
      having an aggregate balance of $9.1 million with current balances in excess
      of
      $417,000, the 2006 Freddie Mac maximum. Our delinquency experience on our loans
      in excess of this maximum has been similar to our experience on other
      residential loans.




Our
      residential mortgage loans customarily include due-on-sale clauses giving us
      the
      right to declare the loan immediately due and payable in the event that, among
      other things, the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the property subject
      to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid.




*Non-Residential
      and Multi-Family Real Estate Lending* .
      We both
      originate and purchase permanent non-residential and multi-family real estate
      loans. We have increased these types of loans in recent years in accordance
      with
      our asset/liability management policy and favorable market conditions. Most
      of
      our originated non-residential and multi-family loans are located in our primary
      market area while our purchased loans are located throughout the United States.
      During fiscal 2006, we did not purchase any non-residential or multi-family
      real
      estate loans. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
      and Results of Operations - Asset/Liability Management” in the Annual Report.




The
      multi-family loan portfolio includes loans secured by five or more unit
      residential buildings located primarily in our primary market area. Our
      non-residential real estate loan portfolio consists of loans on a variety of
      non-residential properties including restaurants, hotel/motels, retail
      facilities, and small office buildings.




We
      originate and purchase both adjustable-and fixed-rate non-residential and
      multi-family real estate loans. Rates on our adjustable-rate non-residential
      and
      multi-family real estate loans generally adjust in a manner consistent with
      our
      one- to four-family residential adjustable rate mortgages. Non-residential
      and
      multi-family real estate loans are generally underwritten in amounts of up
      to
      80% of the appraised value of the underlying property and normally have terms
      up
      to 25 years.




Appraisals
      on properties securing non-residential and multi-family real estate loans
      originated by us are performed by a qualified independent appraiser at the
      time
      the loan is made. In addition, our underwriting procedures generally require
      verification of the borrower’s credit history, income and financial statements,
      banking relationships, accompanying analysis references and income/debt coverage
      projections for the property. Personal guarantees are generally obtained for
      non-residential and multi-family real estate loans.

At
      December 31, 2006, our largest multi-family and largest nonresidential real
      estate loans totaled $938,000 and $1.4 million, and consisted of a loan on
      a 28
      unit town home complex located in Northwest Indiana and a loan on a restaurant
      located in Northern Illinois, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, both of
      these loans were performing in accordance with their terms.




Non-residential
      and multi-family real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk
      than
      loans secured by one- to four-family residences. This greater risk is due to
      several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number
      of
      loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income
      producing properties and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring
      these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by
      non-residential and multi-family residential real estate is typically dependent
      upon the successful operation of the related real estate project. If the cash
      flow from the project is reduced (for example, if leases are not obtained or
      renewed), the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. At December
      31, 2006, we had $339,000 of nonresidential and multi-family loans which were
      90
      days or more delinquent.




*Construction
      Lending* .
      We make
      construction loans to individuals for the construction of their primary or
      secondary residences and loans to builders or developers for the construction
      of
      single-family and multi-family properties.




Loans
      to
      individuals for the construction of their residences typically run for six
      months. The borrower pays interest only during the construction period.
      Residential construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to the same
      guidelines used for originating permanent residential loans. Subject to future
      market conditions, we intend to continue construction lending activities to
      persons intending to be owner occupants.




We
      also
      make loans to builders and developers “on speculation” to finance the
      construction of residential property where an independent appraisal shows that
      a
      ready market exists for the property as completed. Such loans generally have
      adjustable interest rates based upon prime with terms from six months to one
      year. The proceeds of the loan are advanced during construction based upon
      the
      percentage of completion as determined by an inspection. The loan amount
      normally does not exceed 80% of projected completed value for homes that have
      been pre-sold to the ultimate occupant. For loans to builders for the
      construction of homes not pre-sold, which may carry a higher risk, the loan-to
      value ratio is generally limited to 75%. Whether we are willing to provide
      permanent takeout financing to the purchaser of the home is determined
      independently of the construction loan by a separate underwriting process.
      At
      December 31, 2006, we had construction loans with outstanding aggregate balances
      of $2.9 million secured by one-to-four family residential property built on
      speculation.

We
      also
      occasionally originate construction financing on non-residential and
      multi-family real estate. However, there were no loans of this type outstanding
      as of December 31, 2006. Additionally, we participate with other lenders in
      loans to developers and builders to finance multi-family housing and commercial
      property construction. At December 31, 2006, we were involved in two
      out-of-state participation construction loans with an outstanding balance of
      $1.4 million (includes $1.0 million in undisbursed loan proceeds) to construct
      commercial properties.




Construction
      lending generally affords us an opportunity to receive interest at rates higher
      than those obtainable from residential lending and to receive higher origination
      and other loan fees. In addition, such loans are generally made for relatively
      short terms. Nevertheless, construction lending to persons other than
      owner-occupants is generally considered to involve a higher level of credit
      risk
      than one- to four-family residential lending due to the concentration of
      principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of general
      economic conditions on construction projects, real estate developers and
      managers. In addition, the nature of these loans is such that they are more
      difficult to evaluate and monitor. Our risk of loss on a construction loan
      is
      dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s
      value upon completion of the project and the estimated cost (including interest)
      of the project. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be
      confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project with a
      value
      which is insufficient to assure full repayment and/or the possibility of having
      to make substantial investments to complete and sell the project. Because
      defaults in repayment may not occur during the construction period, it may
      be
      difficult to identify problem loans at an early stage. When loan payments become
      due, the cash flow from the property may not be adequate to service the debt.
      In
      such cases, we may be required to modify the terms of the loan.




*Land
      Lending* .
      Land
      loans, which include vacant land and developed lots, are made to various
      builders and developers with whom we have pre-existing relationships. All
      originated land loans are secured by land zoned for residential developments
      and
      located within our market area. Disbursements related to acquisition and
      development land loans are typically based on the construction cost estimate
      of
      an independent architect or engineer who inspects the project in connection
      with
      significant disbursement requests. At December 31, 2006, we had $8.5 million
      in
      loans secured by land, representing 5.41% of our entire gross loan portfolio.




On
      occasion, we participate with other lenders in loans to developers and builders
      to finance land acquisition and development. At December 31, 2006, we were
      involved in two out of state land development participation loans with an
      outstanding balance of $2.5 million (includes $1.1 million in undisbursed loan
      proceeds).




Land
      lending generally affords us an opportunity to receive interest at rates higher
      than those obtainable from residential lending. In addition, land loans are
      limited to a maximum 75% loan-to-value and are made with adjustable rates of
      interest and for relatively short terms. Nevertheless, land lending is generally
      considered to involve a higher level of credit risk due to the fact that funds
      are advanced upon the security of the land, which is of uncertain value prior
      to
      its development. Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating land
      development costs as well as the market value on the completed project and
      the
      effects of governmental regulation of real property, it is relatively difficult
      to evaluate accurately the total funds required to complete a development
      project and the related loan-to-value ratio.




As
      of
      December 31, 2006, we had no non-performing land loans. See “Delinquencies and
      Non-Performing Assets.”




*Consumer
      Lending* .
      We
      believe that offering consumer loan products helps to expand the customer base
      and to create stronger ties to the existing customer base. In addition, because
      consumer loans generally have shorter terms to maturity and carry higher rates
      of interest than do residential mortgage loans, they can be valuable
      asset/liability management tools. For these reasons, we have been increasing
      our
      originations of consumer loans. We currently originate substantially all of
      our
      consumer loans in our market area. At December 31, 2006, our consumer loans
      totaled $7.3 million representing 4.64% of the gross loan portfolio.




10




We
      offer
      a variety of secured consumer loans, including home equity lines of credit,
      home
      improvement loans, loans secured by savings deposits and automobile loans.
      Although we primarily originate consumer loans secured by real estate, deposits
      or other collateral, we also make unsecured personal loans.




Our
      home
      equity lines of credit are generally limited to $100,000. We use the same
      underwriting standards for home equity lines of credit as we use for one- to
      four-family residential mortgage loans. Home equity lines of credit are
      originated in amounts which, together with the amount of the first mortgage,
      generally do not exceed 80% of the appraised value of the property securing
      the
      loan. The interest rate for all home equity loans floats at a stated margin
      over
      the prime rate. At December 31, 2006, we had $5.5 million of home equity lines
      of credit and $4.9 million of additional funds committed, but undrawn, under
      such lines.




We
      also
      offer a Visa credit card program. At December 31, 2006, approximately 445 credit
      cards had been issued, with an aggregate outstanding loan balance of $449,000
      and unused credit available of $1.8 million. We presently charge a fixed rate
      on
      interest on credit card loans and no annual membership fee.




The
      terms
      of other types of consumer loans vary according to the type of collateral,
      length of contract, and creditworthiness of the borrower. The underwriting
      standards employed for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s
      payment history on other debts and an assessment of the borrower’s ability to
      meet payments on the proposed loan along with his existing obligations. In
      addition to the creditworthiness of the applicant, the underwriting process
      also
      includes a comparison of the value of the security, if any, in relation to
      the
      proposed loan amount. Unsecured personal loans are available to credit worthy
      borrowers for a variety of personal needs.




Consumer
      loans may entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly
      in
      the case of consumer loans which are unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciable
      assets such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for
      defaulted consumer loans may not provide adequate sources of repayment for
      the
      outstanding loan balances as a result of the greater likelihood of damage,
      loss
      or depreciation. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the
      borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be
      affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of
      various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and
      insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.
      At
      December 31, 2006, $77,000, or approximately 1.06% of the consumer loan
      portfolio, was 60 days or more delinquent. There can be no assurance that
      delinquencies will not increase in the future.




*Commercial
      Business Lending* .
      In
      order to increase the yield and interest rate sensitivity of our loan portfolio
      and to satisfy the demand for financial services in our primary market area,
      we
      actively originate and purchase commercial business loans.




During
      the past five years, we have originated commercial business loans to businesses
      such as small retail operations, small manufacturing concerns and professional
      firms. Also included in commercial business loans as of December 31, 2006 were
      $1.8 million of purchased loans all of which were made to borrowers located
      outside of our market area. Our commercial business loans almost always include
      personal guarantees and are usually, but not always, are at least partially
      secured by business assets, such as accounts receivable, equipment, inventory
      and real estate. However, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate
      over
      time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the
      success of the business.




Most
      of
      our commercial business loans have terms ranging from six months to five years
      and carry adjustable interest rates. The underwriting process for commercial
      business loans generally includes consideration of the borrower’s financial
      statements, tax returns, projections of future business operations and
      inspection of the subject collateral, if any.

Since
      1995, we have purchased seasoned commercial leases covering various types of
      office/commercial/medical equipment. As of December 31, 2006, the outstanding
      balance on these leases was $1.6 million. In general, the leases are full-payout
      finance leases in which the lease payments effectively repay the lessor for
      the
      purchase price of the equipment, plus an acceptable yield. The selling
      institution continues to service the leases for us and provides limited recourse
      in the event of a default by the lessor. We have purchased these leases because
      they carry relatively high yields and have relatively short terms, consistent
      with our asset/liability management strategy.




The
      following table sets forth the Company’s commercial business loans as of
      December 31, 2006.

Unlike
      residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the
      borrower’s ability to make repayment, and which are secured by real property
      whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans
      are
      generally of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s
      ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a
      result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business
      loans
      may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself (which,
      in
      turn, may be dependent upon the general economic environment). For these
      reasons, commercial real estate loans generally carry a higher degree of credit
      risk than the residential loans. At December 31, 2006, the Company had $26,000
      of non performing commercial business loans.




The
      Bank
      also invests in commercial accounts receivables which possess similar investment
      characteristics to commercial business loans. See “Accounts Receivable
      Investments.”




**Originations,
      Purchases and Sales of Loans**




We
      originate real estate and other loans through marketing efforts, our customer
      base, walk-in customers and referrals from real estate brokers and builders.
      In
      addition, we occasionally utilize the services of mortgage brokers. We do not
      pay commission to employees for loan organizations. ****




We
      regularly purchase loans from third parties to supplement loan production.
      In
      particular, we may purchase loans of a type which are not available or available
      with as favorable terms in our own market area. We generally use the same
      underwriting standards in evaluating loan purchases as we do in originating
      loans. We will continue to evaluate loan purchase opportunities as they arise
      and make purchases in the future depending on market conditions. At December
      31,
      2006, approximately $33.7 million of our loan portfolio was serviced by others
      and we did not service any loans for others.




Our
      ability to originate large dollar volumes of real estate loans may be
      substantially reduced or restricted in periods of rising interest rates, with
      a
      resultant decrease in related fee income and operating earnings.

**Delinquencies
      and Non-Performing Assets**




*Delinquency
      Procedures.* When a
      borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, we attempt to cause the
      delinquency to be cured by contacting the borrower. In the case of loans, a
      late
      notice is sent on all loans over 30 days delinquent. Another late notice along
      with any required demand letters as set forth in the loan contract are sent
      60
      days after the due date. Additional written and verbal contacts are made with
      the borrower between 45 and 90 days after the due date.




If
      the
      delinquency is not cured by the 90th day, the customer is normally provided
      10
      days written notice that the account will be referred to counsel for collection
      and foreclosure, if necessary. A drive-by appraisal is normally obtained at
      this
      time and a title search is ordered. A good faith effort by the borrower at
      this
      time will defer foreclosure for a reasonable length of time depending on
      individual circumstances. We may agree to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
      If it becomes necessary to foreclose, the property is sold at public sale and
      we
      may bid on the property to protect its interest. The decision to foreclose
      is
      made by the Senior Loan Officer after discussion with the members of the Loan
      Committee.




Consumer
      loans are charged off if they remain delinquent for 120 days unless the borrower
      and lender agree on a payment plan. If terms of the plan are not met, they
      are
      then subject to charge off. Our procedure for repossession and sale of consumer
      collateral are subject to various requirements under Indiana consumer protection
      laws.




When
      we
      acquire real estate as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure
      it is classified real estate owned until it is sold. The real estate is recorded
      at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs,
      at
      the date of acquisition, and any write-down resulting therefrom is charged
      to
      the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent decreases in the value of the property
      are charged to operations through the creation of a valuation allowance. After
      acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property are expensed. Costs
      relating to the development and improvement of the property, however, are
      capitalized to the extent of estimated fair value less estimated costs to
      sell.

*Classified
      Assets* .
      Federal
      regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets, such
      as
      debt and equity securities considered by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the
      “OTS”) to be of lesser quality, as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss.” An asset
      is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net
      worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.
      “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility”
that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are
      not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses
      inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that
      the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of
      currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and
      improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible”
and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the
      establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. Assets which do
      not
      currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant
      classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses
      are placed on a “watch list” by our management.




When
      an
      insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful,
      it may establish general allowances in an amount deemed prudent by management
      to
      cover probable accrued losses. General allowances represent loss allowances
      which have been established to cover probable accrued losses associated with
      lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been
      allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies
      problem assets as “loss,” it is required either to establish a specific
      allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified
      or
      to charge-off such amount. An institution’s determination as to the
      classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is
      subject to review by the regulatory authorities, who may order the establishment
      of additional general or specific loss allowances.




In
      connection with the filing of our periodic reports with the OTS and in
      accordance with our classification of assets policy, we regularly review the
      problem loans in our portfolio to determine whether any loans require
      classification in accordance with applicable regulations. On the basis of this
      review of our assets, at December 31, 2006, we had classified the following
      assets:

Our
      classified assets consist of the (i) non-performing loans and (ii) loans and
      other assets of concern discussed herein. As of the date hereof, these asset
      classifications are consistent with those of the OTS and the FDIC.




*Non-Performing
      Assets* .
      The
      following table sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets
      in our loan portfolio. Loans are reviewed quarterly and any loan whose
      collectibility is doubtful is placed on non-accrual status. Loans are placed
      on
      non-accrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past
      due, unless, in the judgment of management, the loan is well collateralized
      and
      in the process of collection. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan
      is
      placed on non-accrual status is charged against interest income. Subsequent
      payments are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded
      as
      interest income, depending on the assessment of the ultimate collectibility
      of
      the loan. For all years presented, we have had no troubled debt restructurings
      (which involved forgiving a portion of interest or principal on any loans or
      making loans at a rate materially less than that of market rates). Foreclosed
      assets include assets acquired in settlement of loans. Except as noted, the
      loans and foreclosed asset amounts shown are stated without giving effect to
      the
      specific reserves which have been established against such assets. See “Loan
      Loss Reserve Analysis.”

For
      the
      year ended December 31, 2006, gross interest income which would have been
      recorded had the non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their
      original terms amounted to $111,000.




At
      December 31, 2006, there were no other loans or other assets that are not
      disclosed on the table or discussed above, where known information about the
      possible credit problems of borrowers caused us to have serious doubts as to
      the
      ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and which
      may result in disclosure of such loans in the future.




As
      of
      March 31, 2007 we experienced a $271,000 increase in non-performing loans.
      This
      amount includes a loss of $29,000 and $63,000 respectively on the sale of two
      foreclosed one-to-four family residential properties in northwest Indiana,
      a
      charge-off of $141,000 on a residential development loan in northwest Indiana
      and a charge-off of $38,000 on a residential development loan in southern
      Indiana, which partially offset a $249,000 recovery that was received and posted
      in the first quarter of 2007.




*Allowance
      for Loan Losses* .
      The
      allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses
      based on our evaluation of probable losses in our loan portfolio and changes
      in
      the nature and volume of our loan activity. Such evaluation, which includes
      a
      review of all loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured,
      considers among other matters, the estimated fair value of the underlying
      collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience and other
      factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan allowance.
      Although we believe we use the best information available to make such
      determinations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary, and net
      income could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially
      from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. At December
      31,
      2006, we had an allowance for loan losses of $686,000.

**Accounts
      Receivable Investments**




The
      Company purchases through brokers accounts receivable on both a direct and
      indirect basis. These accounts receivable are secured by, among other
      activities, trucking, health care, government contracts, commercial, cleaning,
      architectural services and manufacturing. The Company purchases both individual
      receivables and, to a lesser extent, interests in pools of
      receivables.




Our
      purchased accounts receivable are classified as “other assets.” Like commercial
      business loans, these assets are subject to the risk that the debtor is unable
      to obtain payment on the receivables. The Bank underwrites these assets both
      on
      the ability of the debtor to pay on the receivables as well as on the ability
      of
      the seller to repurchase the receivables although, under the terms of the
      purchase agreements, the sellers are in many cases not obligated to do so.
      In
      some cases, the Bank has acquired credit insurance on a portion of the
      receivables. See “Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”




At
      December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company owned $3.0 million and $2.8 million,
      respectively, of accounts receivable and interests in pools of receivables.
      In
      addition, during the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company charged off
      a
      $268,000 loan classified by the Bank as a non-residential loan which resulted
      from the restructuring of a loan originally secured by accounts
      receivable.




**Investment
      Activities**




In
      support of our asset/liability management policy, most of our investments have
      historically consisted of U.S. Government and agency securities with maturities
      of five years or less, mortgage backed securities and short term assets. We
      also
      invest, to a limited degree, in municipal securities, mutual funds and equity
      securities of other financial companies. At December 31, 2006, we did not own
      any securities of a single issuer which exceeded 10% of our retained earnings,
      other than U.S. government or federal agency obligations. See “Management’s
      Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -
      Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the Annual Report.




*Investment
      Securities* .
      At
      December 31, 2006, investment securities totaled $5.3 million, or 2.89% of
      total
      assets. Included in this amount is a $1.8 million investment in Federal Home
      Loan Bank stock which is required for membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank
      of Indianapolis. It is our general policy to purchase securities which are
      U.S.
      Government securities or federal agency obligations or other issues that are
      rated investment grade or have credit enhancements. At December 31, 2006, the
      average term to maturity or repricing of the investment portfolio was 3.8 years.

*Mortgage-Backed
      Securities* .
      We
      purchase mortgage-backed securities from time to time to supplement residential
      loan production. The type of securities purchased is based upon our
      asset/liability management strategy and balance sheet objectives. See
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
      Operations - Asset/Liability Management” in our Annual Report to Shareholders.
      Our mortgage-backed securities are held in the available for sale portfolio
      in
      order to retain investment flexibility and accordingly are included in our
      financial statements at fair value.




All
      of
      our mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 2006, are backed by federal
      agencies or government corporations. Accordingly, we believe that the
      mortgage-backed securities are generally resistant to credit problems.

**Sources
      of Funds**




Our
      primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, amortization and prepayment
      of loan principal, maturities of investment securities, short-term investments
      and funds provided from operations.




*Deposits* .
      American Savings offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of
      interest rates and terms. The deposits consist of passbook accounts, demand
      and
      NOW accounts, and money market and certificate accounts. We rely primarily
      on
      advertising, competitive pricing policies and customer service to attract and
      retain these deposits.




The
      flow
      of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes
      in money market and prevailing interest rates and competition. The variety
      of
      deposits we offer have allowed us to be competitive in obtaining funds and
      to
      respond with flexibility to changes in consumer demand. Like all depository
      institutions, we have become more susceptible to short-term fluctuations in
      deposit flows as customers have become more interest rate conscious. We manage
      the pricing of our deposits in keeping with our asset/liability management,
      profitability and growth objectives. Based on our experience, we believe that
      passbook, demand and NOW accounts may be a somewhat more stable sources of
      deposits than certificate deposits. However, our ability to attract and maintain
      all deposits, and the rates paid on these deposits, has been and will continue
      to be significantly affected by market conditions.




The
      following table sets forth the savings flows during the periods
      indicated.

*Borrowings* .
      We may
      obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis upon the
      security of our capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis
      and
      certain of our mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. Such advances
      may
      be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its
      own
      interest rate and range of maturities. At December 31, 2006, we had $34.1
      million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding. From time to time during
      recent years we have utilized short-term borrowings, most of which had original
      maturities of 12 to 36 months, in order to fund loan demand. To the extent
      such
      borrowings are different than the average term to repricing of our deposits,
      they can change our interest rate risk profile. See “Management Discussion and
      Analysis - Asset/Liability Management” in the Annual Report.

**Subsidiaries**




We
      have
      one wholly owned subsidiary service corporation, NIFCO, Inc., and one second
      tier subsidiary service corporation, Ridge Management, Inc. which is owned
      by
      NIFCO. Prior to the current year, NIFCO sold annuities and securities. As of
      December 31, 2003, the activities of NIFCO were effectively transferred to
      the
      Bank.




In
      the
      past, Ridge Management engaged in lending and investment activity, although
      it
      is currently essentially inactive. For the year ended December 31, 2006, Ridge
      Management had no activity.




We
      also
      own all of the common securities of AMB Financial Statutory Trust I which was
      created in connection with the issuance in March 2002 of $5.0 million of trust
      preferred securities.




**Regulation**




American
      Savings is a federally chartered savings and loan association, the deposits
      of
      which are federally insured by the FDIC and backed by the full faith and credit
      of the United States government. Accordingly, American Savings is subject to
      broad federal regulation and oversight extending to all of our operations.
      American Savings is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis
      and
      is subject to certain limited regulation by the Board of Governors of the
      Federal Reserve System. As the savings and loan holding company that has existed
      as a unitary savings and loan holding company prior to May 4, 1999, there is
      virtually no restriction on its activities.




*Federal
      Regulation of Savings Associations* .
      The
      Office of Thrift Supervision has extensive authority over the operations of
      savings associations. As part of this authority, we are required to file
      periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and are subject to
      periodic examinations by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC. When
      these examinations are conducted by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the
      FDIC, the examiners may require American Savings to provide for higher general
      or specific loan loss reserves.




The
      Office of Thrift Supervision also has extensive enforcement authority over
      all
      savings institutions and their holding companies, such as American Savings
      and
      AMB Financial, respectively. This enforcement authority includes, among other
      things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist
      or removal orders, and to initiate injunctive actions.




Our
      general permissible lending limit for loans-to-one-borrower is equal to the
      greater of $500,000 or 15% of capital and surplus (except for loans fully
      secured by certain readily marketable collateral, in which case this limit
      is
      increased to 25% of capital and surplus). At December 31, 2006, our lending
      limit under this restriction was approximately $2.3 million. At December 31,
      2006, we had no loans in excess of our loans-to-one-borrower limit.




25




*Insurance
      of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC* .
      Deposit
      accounts in American Savings are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
      Corporation generally up to a maximum of $100,000 per separately insured
      depositor and up to a maximum of $250,000 for self-directed retirement accounts.
      American Savings’ deposits, therefore, are subject to Federal Deposit Insurance
      Corporation deposit insurance assessments.





On
      February 15, 2006, federal legislation to reform federal deposit insurance
      was
      enacted. This new legislation required, among other things, that the Federal
      Deposit Insurance Corporation adopt regulations increasing the maximum amount
      of
      federal deposit insurance coverage per separately insured depositor to $130,000
      (with a cost of living adjustment to become effective in five years) and
      modifying the deposit fund’s reserve ratio for a range between 1.15% and 1.50%
      of estimated insured deposits.





On
      November 2, 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation adopted final
      regulations establishing a risk-based assessment system that will enable the
      Federal Depoist Insurance Corporationi to more closely tie each financial
      institution’s premiums to the risk it poses to the deposit insurance fund. Under
      the new risk-based assessment system, which becomes effective in the beginning
      of 2007, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation will evaluate the risk of
      each financial institution based on three primary sources of information: (1)
      its supervisory rating, (2) its financial ratios, and (3) its long-term debt
      issuer rating, if the institution has one. The new rates for nearly all of
      the
      financial institution industry will vary between five and seven cents for every
      $100 of domestic deposits. At the same time, the Federal Deposit Insurance
      Corporation also adopted final regulations designating the reserve ratio for
      the
      deposit insurance fund during 2007 at 1.25% of estimated insured
      deposits.





Effective
      March 31, 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation merged the Bank
      Insurance Fund (“BIF”) and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (“SAIF”) into
      a single insurance fund called the Deposit Insurance Fund. As a result of the
      merger, the BIF and SAIF were abolished. The merger of the BIF and SAIF into
      the
      Deposit Insurance Fund does not affect the authority of the Financing
      Corporation (“FICO”) to impose and collect, with approval of the Federal Deposit
      Insurance Corporation, assessments for anticipated payments, insurance costs
      and
      custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980s to recapitalize the
      Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the FICO
      are
      due to mature in 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended December 31, 2006,
      the
      FICO assessment was equal to 1.22 basis points for each $100 in domestic
      deposits maintained at an institution.




*Regulatory
      Capital Requirements* .
      Federally insured savings associations, such as American Savings, are required
      to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital. The Office of Thrift
      Supervision has established capital standards, including a tangible capital
      requirement, a leverage ratio (or core capital) requirement and a risk-based
      capital requirement applicable to such savings associations.




The
      capital regulations require tangible capital of at least 1.5% of adjusted total
      assets (as defined by regulation). At December 31, 2006, American Savings had
      tangible capital of $15.6 million, or 8.74% of adjusted total assets, which
      is
      approximately $12.9 million above the minimum requirement of 1.5% of adjusted
      total assets in effect on that date. At December 31, 2006, American Savings
      did
      not have any intangible assets.




The
      capital standards also require core capital equal to at least 3% to 4% of
      adjusted total assets, depending on an institution’s supervisory rating. Core
      capital generally consists of tangible capital. At December 31, 2006, we had
      core capital equal to $15.6 million, or 8.74% of adjusted total assets, which
      is
      $10.2 million above the minimum leverage ratio requirement of 3% as in effect
      on
      that date.




The
      Office of Thrift Supervision risk-based capital requirement requires savings
      associations to have total capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets.
      Total
      capital consists of core capital, as defined above, and supplementary capital.
      Supplementary capital consists of certain permanent and maturing capital
      instruments that do not qualify as core capital and general valuation loan
      and
      lease loss allowances up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets.
      Supplementary capital may be used to satisfy the risk-based requirement only
      to
      the extent of core capital.




26




In
      determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain
      off-balance sheet items, will be multiplied by a risk weight, ranging from
      0% to
      100%, based on the risk inherent in the type of asset. For example, the Office
      of Thrift Supervision has assigned a risk weight of 50% for prudently
      underwritten permanent one- to four-family first lien mortgage loans not more
      than 90 days delinquent and having a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 80%
      at
      origination, unless insured to such ratio by an insurer approved by Fannie
      Mae
      or Freddie Mac.




On
      December 31, 2006, we had total risk-based capital of approximately $16.3
      million, including $15.6 million in core capital and $700,000 in qualifying
      supplementary capital, and risk-weighted assets of $108.9 million, or total
      capital of 14.93% of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $7.5 million above
      the 8% requirement in effect on that date.




The
      Office of Thrift Supervision is authorized to impose capital requirements in
      excess of these standards on individual associations on a case-by-case basis.
      The Office of Thrift Supervision and the FDIC are authorized and, under certain
      circumstances required, to take certain actions against savings associations
      that fail to meet their capital requirements. The Office of Thrift Supervision
      is generally required to take action to restrict the activities of an
“undercapitalized association” (generally defined to be one with less than
      either a 4% core capital ratio, a 4% core risked-based capital ratio or an
      8%
      risk-based capital ratio). Any such association must submit a capital
      restoration plan and until such plan is approved by the Office of Thrift
      Supervision may not increase its assets, acquire another institution, establish
      a branch or engage in any new activities, and generally may not make capital
      distributions. The Office of Thrift Supervision is authorized to impose the
      additional restrictions that are applicable to significantly undercapitalized
      associations.




The
      Office of Thrift Supervision is also generally authorized to reclassify an
      association into a lower capital category and impose the restrictions applicable
      to such category if the institution is engaged in unsafe or unsound practices
      or
      is in an unsafe or unsound condition.




The
      imposition by the Office of Thrift Supervision or the FDIC of any of these
      measures on AMB Financial or American Savings may have a substantial adverse
      effect on our operations and profitability.




*Limitations
      on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions* .
      The
      Office of Thrift Supervision imposes various restrictions on savings
      associations with respect to their ability to make distributions of capital,
      which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers
      and
      other transactions charged to the capital account. The Office of Thrift
      Supervision also prohibits a savings association from declaring or paying any
      dividends or from repurchasing any of its stock if, as a result of such action,
      the regulatory capital of the savings association would be reduced below the
      amount required to be maintained for the liquidation account established in
      connection with American Savings mutual to stock conversion.




American
      Savings may make a capital distribution without the prior approval of the Office
      of Thrift Supervision provided we notify the Office of Thrift Supervision at
      least 30 days before we declare the capital distribution and we meet the
      following requirements: (i) we have a regulatory rating in one of the two top
      examination categories, (ii) we are not of supervisory concern, and will remain
      adequately- or well-capitalized, as defined in the Office of Thrift Supervision
      prompt corrective action regulations, following the proposed distribution,
      and
      (iii) the distribution does not exceed our net income for the calendar
      year-to-date plus retained net income for the previous two calendar years (less
      any dividends previously paid). If we do not meet the above stated requirements,
      we must obtain the prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision before
      declaring any proposed distributions.




27




*Qualified
      Thrift Lender Test* .
      All
      savings institutions are required to meet a qualified thrift lender test to
      avoid certain restrictions on their operations. This test requires a savings
      institution to have at least 65% of its portfolio assets (as defined by
      regulation) in qualified thrift investments on a monthly average for nine out
      of
      every 12 months on a rolling basis. As an alternative, the savings institutions
      may maintain 60% of its assets in those assets specified in Section 7701(a)(19)
      of the Internal Revenue Code. Under either test, these assets primarily consist
      of residential housing related loans and investments. At December 31, 2006,
      American Savings met the test and has always met the test since its
      effectiveness. American Savings’ qualified thrift lender percentage was 78.56%
      at December 31, 2006.




Any
      savings institution that fails to meet the qualified thrift lender test must
      convert to a bank charter, unless it requalifies as a qualified thrift lender
      and remains a qualified thrift lender. If an institution has not yet requalified
      or converted to a national bank, its new investments and activities are limited
      to those permissible for both a savings association and a national bank, and
      it
      is limited to national bank branching rights in its home state. In addition,
      the
      institution is immediately ineligible to receive any new Federal Home Loan
      Bank
      borrowings and is subject to national bank limits for payment of dividends.
      If
      the institution has not requalified or converted to a national bank within
      three
      years after the failure, it must sell all investments and stop all activities
      not permissible for a national bank. In addition, it must repay promptly any
      outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, which may result in prepayment
      penalties. If any institution that fails the qualified thrift lender test is
      controlled by a holding company, then within one year after the failure, the
      holding company must register as a bank holding company and become subject
      to
      all restrictions on bank holding companies. See “- Holding Company
      Regulation.”




*Community
      Reinvestment Act* .
      Under
      the Community Reinvestment Act, every FDIC insured institution has a continuing
      and affirmative obligation, consistent with safe and sound banking practices,
      to
      help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low- and moderate-
      income neighborhoods. The Community Reinvestment Act requires the Office of
      Thrift Supervision, in connection with its examination of American Savings,
      to
      assess the institution’s record of meeting the credit needs of our community and
      to take this record into account in our evaluation of certain applications,
      such
      as a merger or the establishment of a branch, by American Savings. An
      unsatisfactory rating may be used as the basis for the denial of an application
      by the Office of Thrift Supervision. American Savings was examined for Community
      Reinvestment Act compliance in May 2004 and received a rating of “satisfactory”.




*Transactions
      with Affiliates* .
      Generally, transactions between a savings association or its subsidiaries and
      its affiliates are required to be on terms as favorable to the association
      or
      subsidiary as transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain of these
      transactions, such as loans to an affiliate, are restricted to a percentage
      of
      the association’s capital. Affiliates of American Savings include AMB Financial
      and any company which is under common control with American Savings. In
      addition, a savings association may not lend to any affiliate engaged in
      activities not permissible for a bank holding company or acquire the securities
      of most affiliates. The Office of Thrift Supervision has the discretion to
      treat
      subsidiaries of savings associations as affiliates on a case by case
      basis.




Certain
      transactions with directors, officers or controlling persons are also subject
      to
      conflict of interest regulations enforced by the Office of Thrift Supervision.
      These conflict of interest regulations and other statutes also impose
      restrictions on loans to such persons and their related interests. Among other
      things, such loans must be made on terms substantially the same as for loans
      to
      unaffiliated individuals.




*Holding
      Company Regulation* .
      AMB
      Financial is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulatory
      oversight by the Office of Thrift Supervision. AMB Financial is required to
      register and file reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and are subject
      to regulation and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision. In addition,
      the Office of Thrift Supervision has enforcement authority over AMB Financial
      and its non-savings association subsidiaries which also permits the Office
      of
      Thrift Supervision to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to
      be
      a serious risk to the subsidiary savings association.




28




As
      a
      unitary savings and loan holding company, that has been in existence since
      before May 4, 1999, AMB Financial generally is not subject to activity
      restrictions. If AMB Financial acquires control of another savings association
      as a separate subsidiary, it would become a multiple savings and loan holding
      company and the activities of AMB Financial and any of our subsidiaries (other
      than American Savings or any other Savings Association Insurance Fund insured
      savings association) would generally become subject to certain restrictions.
      Additionally, if we fail the qualified thrift lender test, within one year
      AMB
      Financial must register as, and will become subject to, the significant activity
      restrictions applicable to bank holding companies.




*USA
      PATRIOT Act* .
      The USA
      PATRIOT Act was signed into law on October 26, 2001. The USA PATRIOT Act gives
      the federal government new powers to address terrorist threats through enhanced
      domestic security measures, expanded surveillance powers, increased information
      sharing and broadened anti-money laundering requirements. The USA PATRIOT Act
      also requires the federal banking agencies to take into consideration the
      effectiveness of controls designed to combat money laundering activities in
      determining whether to approve a merger or other acquisition application of
      a
      member institution. Accordingly, if we engage in a merger or other acquisition,
      our controls designed to combat money laundering would be considered as part
      of
      the application process. The Company has established policies, procedures and
      systems designed to comply with these regulations.




*Federal
      Securities Law* .
      The
      stock of AMB Financial is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange
      Act of 1934, as amended. AMB Financial is subject to the information, proxy
      solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements of the SEC
      under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.




AMB
      Financial stock held by persons who are affiliates (generally executive
      officers, directors and 10% shareholders) of AMB Financial may not be resold
      without registration or unless sold in accordance with certain resale
      restrictions. If AMB Financial meets specified current public information
      requirements, each affiliate of AMB Financial is able to sell in the public
      market, without registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month
      period.




*Sarbanes
      Oxley Act of 2002* .
      On July
      30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which
      contains important new requirements for public companies in the area of
      financial disclosure and corporate governance. Among the requirements of the
      Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are written certifications by our Chief Executive
      Officer and Chief Financial Officer of our quarterly and annual reports filed
      with the SEC, as well as disclosures regarding our internal controls and
      procedures. In response to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related
      regulations, the Company has reviewed and amended its practices, policies and
      procedures to ensure our ability to comply with the requirements of the Act.




*Federal
      Reserve System* .
      The
      Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain
      noninterest bearing reserves at specified levels against their transaction
      accounts (primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW checking accounts). At December
      31, 2006, American Savings was in compliance with these reserve requirements.




Savings
      associations are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank “discount
      window,” but Federal Reserve Board regulations require associations to exhaust
      other reasonable alternative sources of funds, including Federal Home Loan
      Bank
      borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank.




29




*Federal
      Home Loan Bank System* .
      American Savings is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis,
      which is one of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks that administer the home
      financing credit function of savings associations. Each Federal Home Loan Bank
      serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region.
      It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and
      procedures, established by the board of directors of the Federal Home Loan
      Bank,
      which are subject to the oversight of the Federal Housing Finance Board. All
      advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank are required to be fully secured by
      sufficient collateral as determined by the Federal Home Loan Bank. In addition,
      all long-term advances must be used for residential home financing.




As
      a
      member, American Savings is required to purchase and maintain a minimum amount
      of stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. At December 31, 2006,
      American Savings had $1.8 million in Federal Home Loan Bank stock, which was
      in
      compliance with this requirement. In past years, American Savings has received
      substantial dividends on our Federal Home Loan Bank stock. For the fiscal year
      ended December 31, 2006, dividends paid by the Federal Home Loan Bank of
      Indianapolis to American Savings totaled $86,000, which constituted a $7,000
      increase from the amount of dividends received in fiscal 2005. Over the past
      five fiscal years these dividends have averaged 4.91% and were 4.75% for fiscal
      2006.




**Federal
      and State Taxation**




*Federal
      Taxation* .
      Savings
      institutions that met certain definitional tests relating to the composition
      of
      assets and other conditions prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
      as
      amended, had been permitted to establish reserves for bad debts and to make
      annual additions which could, within specified formula limits, be taken as
      a
      deduction in computing taxable income for federal income tax purposes. The
      amount of the bad debt reserve deduction is now computed under the experience
      method.




In
      addition to the regular income tax, corporations, including savings
      institutions, generally are subject to a minimum tax. An alternative minimum
      tax
      is imposed at a minimum tax rate of 20% on alternative minimum taxable income,
      which is the sum of a corporation’s regular taxable income (with certain
      adjustments) and tax preference items, less any available exemption. The
      alternative minimum tax is imposed to the extent it exceeds the corporation’s
      regular income tax and net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of
      alternative minimum taxable income.




To
      the
      extent earnings appropriated to a savings institution’s bad debt reserves for
“qualifying real property loans” and deducted for federal income tax purposes
      exceed the allowable amount of such reserves computed under the experience
      method and to the extent of the institution’s supplemental reserves for losses
      on loans, such excess may not, without adverse tax consequences, be utilized
      for
      the payment of cash dividends or other distributions to a shareholder (including
      distributions on redemption, dissolution or liquidation) or for any other
      purpose (except to absorb bad debt losses). As of December 31, 2006, American
      Savings’ excess for tax purposes totaled approximately $1.9 million.




We
      file
      consolidated federal income tax returns on a fiscal year basis using the accrual
      method of accounting. Savings institutions that file federal income tax returns
      as part of a consolidated group are required by applicable Treasury regulations
      to reduce their taxable income for purposes of computing the percentage bad
      debt
      deduction for losses attributable to activities of the non-savings association
      members of the consolidated group that are functionally related to the
      activities of the savings association member.




Our
      federal income tax returns for the last three years are open to possible audit
      by the IRS. No returns are being audited by the IRS at the current time. In
      our
      opinion, any examination of still open returns would not result in a deficiency
      which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.




30




*Indiana
      Taxation* .
      The
      State of Indiana imposes an 8.5% financial institution tax on the net income
      of
      financial (including thrift) institutions. Taxable income for financial
      institution tax purposes will constitute federal taxable income before net
      operating loss deductions and special deductions, adjusted for certain items,
      including the addition of Indiana income taxes, tax exempt interest and bad
      debts. Other applicable Indiana taxes include sales, use and property taxes.




*Delaware
      Taxation* .
      As a
      company incorporated under Delaware state law, AMB Financial is exempt from
      Delaware corporate income tax but is required to file an annual report with,
      and
      pay an annual fee to, the State of Delaware. The Holding Company is also subject
      to an annual franchise tax imposed by the State of Delaware.




**Competition**




We
      face
      strong competition both in originating real estate loans and in attracting
      deposits. Competition in originating loans comes primarily from other savings
      institutions, credit unions, commercial banks and mortgage bankers who also
      make
      loans secured by real estate located in our primary market area. We compete
      for
      loans principally on the basis of the interest rates and loan fees we charge,
      the types of loans we originate and the quality of services we provide to
      borrowers.




We
      attract all of our deposits through our branch offices, primarily from the
      communities in which those branch offices are located; therefore, competition
      for those deposits is principally from other savings institutions, commercial
      banks, securities firms, money market and mutual funds and credit unions located
      in the same communities. Our ability to attract and retain deposits depends
      on
      our ability to provide an investment opportunity that satisfies the requirements
      of investors. We compete for these deposits by offering a variety of deposit
      accounts at competitive rates, convenient business hours and a customer oriented
      staff. As of June 30, 2006, we estimate our market share of savings deposits
      in
      the Lake County, Indiana market area to be approximately 1.88%. The Company
      also
      experiences competition from online financial service providers.




**Employees**




At
      December 31, 2006, we had a total of 39 employees, including eight part-time
      employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group.
      We consider employee relations to be good.

      involved from time to time as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions

      resolution of these proceedings should not have a material effect on the results
      of operations.

**Item
      8A. Controls and Procedures** **.**




The
      Company has adopted disclosure controls and procedures designed to facilitate
      the Company’s financial reporting. The disclosure controls currently consist of
      communications among the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer
      and each department head to identify any transactions, events, trends, risks
      or
      contingencies which may be material to the Company’s operations. The Company’s
      disclosure controls also contain certain elements of its internal controls
      adopted in connection with applicable accounting and regulatory guidelines.
      Finally, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, the Audit
      Committee and the Company’s independent auditors also meet on a quarterly basis
      and discuss the Company’s material accounting policies. The Company’s Chief
      Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness
      of these interim disclosure controls as of the end of the period covered by
      this
      report and found them to be adequate.

The
      Company maintains internal control over financial reporting. There have not
      been
      any significant changes in such internal control over the financial reporting
      in
      the last quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
      materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
      reporting.
