nationally
or
in
our

that
are
worse
than
expected;
Decreased demand for our products and services and lower revenue and earnings because of a recession;
Adverse changes and volatility in credit markets;
Legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business;
Changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

agencies,
the
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
Changes
in
laws
or
governmental
regulations
affecting
financial
institutions,
including
changes
in
regulatory
costs
and
capital
requirements;
The timing and the amount of revenue that we may recognize;
Changes
in
expense
trends
(including,

and

losses);
Changes in consumer spending, borrowing and spending habits;
The impact of the current governmental effort to restructure the U.S. Financial and regulatory system;
Inability of third-party providers to perform their obligations to us;
Adverse changes and volatility in real estate markets;

Strategic Overview
Our business model is to originate and service first mortgage loans and continue to service
existing home equity loans and lines which we fund with core retail deposits 
Thrift stopped accepting applications of new home equity loans and lines in June 2010
Thrift introduced and is originating new adjustable rate mortgages product to replace home
equity lines
$1B in loan applications from 7/1/10 to 9/30/10 have been ARM products
The ARM will act as an interest-rate hedge for the balance sheet
First mortgage loans and retail deposits have been generated primarily from the market areas
defined by where we have full service branches and loan production offices  
Large deposits per branch ($227 million at 9/30/10) helps keep us a low cost provider
In generating mortgage loans and home equity loans and lines, only non-commissioned
Thrift associates were used to gather applications, underwrite and process the requests
First mortgage originations continue to be made using stringent,
conservative lending
standards
Historically, prudent capital management has supplemented shareholder returns.

Memorandum of Understanding
On August 16, 2010, the Thrift received a Memorandum of Understanding from
the OTS.  Key elements of the MOU:
Provide the OTS a written report from a consulting firm assessing the home
equity lending portfolio
Develop a plan to reduce the concentration limits for home equity loans and lines
relative to tier 1 core capital and ALLL
Enhance policies and procedures with respect to home equity lending and credit
risk management
Submit an updated business plan addressing all corrective actions
Monitor the Thrift’s performance against the business plan


11
Promontory Financial Group (“PFG”)
PFG (a premier financial consulting group made up primarily of former regulators) was
engaged to provide an assessment of the home equity portfolio and lending practices
Report was completed and submitted to the OTS in September 2010
The report had several key findings:
Thrift has controlled credit risk through selection of higher quality of borrowers
Thrift has employed generally conservative underwriting practices
Thrift capital position can withstand significant economic stress, and maintains a
substantive
cushion
over
statutory
“well-capitalized”
standards
Thrift should actively manage home equity lending exposure down
Thrift has opportunities to enhance risk management and to mitigate home equity
concentrations including line cancellations/suspensions and improved programs,
policies and practices


12
Summary of Home Equity Portfolio
(charts available in appendix)
The
ratio
of
home
equity
portfolio
and
open
commitments
relative
to
Tier
1
(Core)
Capital
plus
ALLL,
has
ranged
between
288%
to
544%
over
the
past
seven
years.
Balance
at
September
2010
is
350%,
with
a
plan
to
reduce
to
260%
by
December,
2011
Customers have maintained strong credit scores with 85% of existing credit limits
associated with current credit scores over 700
Loans seriously delinquent (either >90 days past due or in bankruptcy or foreclosure)
is under 3% –
very little delinquency occurs in credit scores over 700
While CLTVs
(combined loan to value) have slipped from origination, the portion of
loans with >100% CLTV have delinquencies under 5%
72% of customers with negative equity have credit scores of 700 or better
70% of customers have used the same or less of their credit line, regardless of
change in property value, indicating they are not using their equity lines to stay current
on their obligations.


13
The Reduction plan effectively began with the suspension of all new home equity loan
and line originations, increases and extensions beginning in June 2010.
The
formal
plan
submitted
to
the
OTS
in
September
2010,
included
3
key
elements:
Line Reduction
From June 30, 2010, through December 2011, a reduction of $1
billion of commitments including $300 million in outstanding balances
The
plan
does
not
include
selling
any
existing
home
equity
loans
or
lines
Process
and
Procedure
Management
-
Implementation
of
expanded
line
management, account management and collection processes recommended by PFG
These procedures will assist in the ongoing management of the risk in our current portfolio
as individual customer situations change and as larger economic trends evolve
Down streaming of Capital
Down stream $150 million into the Thrift from the
holding company in October 2010.
Holding
Company
has
approximately
$400
million
of
equity
capital
separate
from
the
Thrift
at
9/30/10
Home Equity Lending Reduction Plan


14
Current Status of Plan:
The Thrift believes the requirements of the MOU for the submission of
documents have been met.  However the OTS has neither approved nor
disapproved the plan, and therefore the plan is subject to revision.  The OTS
has the ultimate authority as to how long the MOU will remain in
effect.
Reduction is being accomplished in a variety of ways:
The Thrift is asking customers to voluntarily close their lines of credit and/or close their second
mortgage as a part of a refinance
In early October, the Thrift began suspending lines of credit for customers with a significant
decline in equity
As of September 30, 2010:
Home equity balances have been reduced $47 million from June 30,
2010
Commitments have been reduced $102 million from June 30, 2010
Home Equity Lending Reduction Plan


15
Cash Dividends and Stock Repurchases
TFS Financial must provide the OTS 45 days prior written notice of
the Company’s intent to declare and pay dividends to its
stockholders or repurchase any of its outstanding stock.
The Company understands and shares the view of the importance to
shareholders of dividends and stock repurchases, however, the
Company does not intend to declare or pay a dividend, or to
repurchase any of its outstanding common stock until the OTS’
concerns are resolved.


16
Summary
Working diligently to resolve the MOU with the OTS
Focus on our core competency of originating high credit quality 1-4 family
residential mortgages in our banking footprint including the introduction of
new products like our new ARM loans
TFSL has a strong capital position and flexibility at the holding company
We have many means at our disposal by which to achieve our desired
reduction in home equity loans and commitments
Focused on returning to shareholder enhancing activities

Share Buybacks
