Item 8.01.   Other Events .
 
Mutual Federal Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiary, Mutual Federal Savings and Loan Association of Chicago (the “Bank”), currently holds Freddie Mac preferred stock in its available-for-sale securities portfolio with a market value of approximately $370,000 at June 30, 2008.  Based on the market price per share of the stock as of September 16, 2008, the current market value of the remaining stock the Company owns is approximately $10,000.  For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded a $31,000 non-cash, other-than-temporary impairment charge to earnings relating to this security.  The Company expects to record an additional non-cash, other-than-temporary impairment charge to earnings on this security in the third quarter, as the security now trades well below its value at June 30, 2008.  The Company will continue to evaluate the situation and expects to make a final determination of impairment relating to this security in connection with the preparation of its financial statements for the third quarter of 2008.
 
The expected impairment on these securities would not impact the Bank’s ability to maintain capital ratios above the “well capitalized” regulatory requirements.
