ITEM
2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
AMB
Financial Corp. (the “Company”) previously acquired, pursuant to an agreement
with a local builder, vacant lots on which to construct single-family residences
in St. John and Munster, Indiana. At June 30, 2008, our investment in real
estate development projects consisted of three completed single-family dwelling
units and four vacant lots. Due to the slowdown in the real estate market,
we
decided not to build on the remaining vacant lots. All of the completed units
and vacant lots are currently listed for sale. During the three month period
ended June 30, 2008, the Company reduced the carrying amount of the properties
by $318,000 to $1.7 million based upon current real estate values and economic
conditions in our local market area. In addition, during the quarter ended
June
30, 2008, we incurred $52,000 of holding costs with respect to these properties.
In view of the current weak real estate market, there can be no assurance
whether, when and at what price the Company will be able to sell these
assets.
As
a
result of the above, we expect to record a net loss for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 of from $200,000 to $220,000.
ITEM
8.01
OTHER EVENTS
The
Company declared a cash dividend of $.09 per share for the quarter ended June
30, 2008. The dividend will be payable on August 27, 2008 to shareholders of
record on August 13, 2008.
