EUREKA FINANCIAL CORP. ANNOUNCES EARNINGS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011


Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – Eureka Financial Corp., (the “Company”), the parent holding company for Eureka Bank (the “Bank”), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, today announced earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2011 of $422,000, or $0.34 diluted earnings per share, as compared to net income of $264,000, or $0.20 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company reported net income of $964,000, or $0.75 diluted earnings per share, as compared to net income of $736,000, or $0.56 diluted earnings per share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The increased income in the periods was primarily due to an increase in net interest income and a lower effective tax rate, offset by increased noninterest expense.

Assets increased $12.4 million, or 9.7%, from $127.3 million at September 30, 2010 to $139.7 million at June 30, 2011 primarily due to a $9.9 million, or 43.0% increase in cash and investments and a $4.5 million, or 4.6%, increase in loans.  The increase in cash and investments was primarily due to additional securities purchased with the proceeds from our second-step conversion completed in February 2011.  The increase in loans was primarily concentrated in loans secured by 1-4 family dwellings and by commercial leases.   Deposits increased $6.1 million, or 5.6%, from $111.0 million at September 30, 2010 to $117.2 million at June 30, 2011, primarily due to an increase in certificates of deposit.

Nonaccrual loans increased $408,000, from $58,000 at September 30, 2010 to $466,000 at June 30, 2011, which represents the addition of five loans that were placed on non-accrual status during the third fiscal quarter.

The Bank, founded in 1886, is a federally chartered stock savings bank and operates two offices in Pittsburgh.  The Company’s common stock trades in the over-the-counter market under the symbol “EKFC.”

The foregoing material may contain forward-looking statements concerning the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company.  We caution that such statements are subject to a number of uncertainties and actual results could differ materially and, therefore, readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.  The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims, any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions that may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
