                           CLASSIC BANCSHARES, INC.
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)      Principles of Consolidation
         The financial statements for 1997 are presented for Classic
Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Classic
Bank, and The First National Bank of Paintsville ("First National"). The
consolidated balance sheets for December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1997 are for
the Company, Classic Bank, and First National. The consolidated statements of
income include the operations of the Company, Classic Bank and First National
for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1997. The statement of income
for the three months ended December 31, 1996 include the operations of the
Company, Classic Bank and First National. The statement of income for the nine
months ended December 31, 1996 includes only the operations of the Company and
Classic Bank for the first six months and the operations of the Company,
Classic Bank and First National for the last three months. First National was
acquired as of the close of business, September 30, 1996, in a transaction
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

(2)      Basis of Presentation
         The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation
S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.

         In the opinion of management, the Consolidated Financial Statements
contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial condition of Classic Bancshares,
Inc. as of December 31, 1997, and the results of operations for all interim
periods presented.

         Operating results for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1998.

(3)      Basic Earnings Per Share of Common Stock
         During the quarter, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Under Statement
128, basic earnings per share of common stock replaces "primary earnings per
share," and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders
for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Basic earnings per share does not consider dilution from
potentially dilutive securities such as stock options, warrants, convertible
securities and contingent share agreements. Diluted earnings per share
replaces "fully diluted earnings per share". It assumes dilutive potential
common shares have been issued.

         Weighted average number of shares used in the basic earnings per
share computations was 1,208,084 for the three month period ended December 31,
1997 and 1,211,557 for the nine month period ended December 31, 1997. Weighted
average number of shares used in the earnings per share computations was
1,217,688 for the three month period ended December 31, 1996 and 1,213,450 for
the nine month period ended December 31, 1996. The diluted earnings per share
do not differ materially from the basic earnings per share and therefore, have
not been disclosed.

(4)      Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
         In conjunction with the Bank's conversion on December 28, 1995, the
Company established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) which covers
substantially all employees. The ESOP borrowed $1,058,000 from the Company,
and purchased 105,800 common shares, equal to 8% of the total number of shares
issued in the conversion . Classic Bank makes scheduled discretionary
contributions to the ESOP sufficient to service the debt. Shares are allocated
to participants' accounts under the shares allocated method. The cost of
shares committed to be released and unallocated shares is reported as a
reduction of stockholders' equity. Compensation expense is recorded based on
the average fair market value of the ESOP shares when committed to be
released. Furthermore, ESOP shares that have not been committed to be released
are not considered outstanding. The expense under the ESOP was $30,683 and
$92,999 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1997 and $24,000 and
$73,080 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1996. As of December
31, 1997, the Company considered 91,866 shares as unearned ESOP shares with a
fair value of $1,538,756.

(5)      Stock Option and Incentive Plan and Recognition and Retention Plan
         On July 29, 1996, the shareholders of the Company ratified the
adoption of the Company's 1996 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and the
Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP"). Pursuant to the Stock Option Plan,
132,250 shares of the Company's common stock are reserved for issuance, of
which the Company has granted options on 112,447 shares at $10.8125 per share
and options on 19,750 shares at $13.375. Pursuant to the Recognition and
Retention Plan, 52,900 shares of the Company's common stock are reserved for
issuance, of which the Company has granted awards on 50,350 shares. Ungranted
RRP shares (2,550) are included in treasury stock at cost. RRP shares that are
granted are considered common stock equivalents.

(6)      Cash Dividend
         On January 12, 1998, the Board declared a cash dividend of $.07 per
share payable on February 9, 1998 to shareholders of record on January 26,
1998.

(7)      Pension Plan Settlement Gain
         During the nine month period ended December 31, 1997, the Company
merged the pension plan of First National into Classic Bank's pension plan,
creating one pension plan for the Company. As a result, the Company recorded a
one-time gain of approximately $330,000 from the settlement of First
National's pension plan.

(8)      Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flows Information

                                PART I - ITEM 2

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition

         The Company's total assets increased $1.2 million, or .9%, from
$131.6 million at March 31, 1997 to $132.8 million at December 31, 1997. The
increase was due primarily to an increase in loans of $7.3 million, an
increase in mortgage-backed securities of $350,000 and an increase in premises
and equipment of $560,000 partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash
equivalents of $5.7 million and a decrease in investment securities of $1.4
million.

         Net loans receivable increased $7.3 million from $81.7 million at
March 31, 1997 to $89.0 million at December 31, 1997 due to aggressive
origination efforts and strong loan demand that resulted in originations of
$14.2 million of one to four family loans, $3.2 million in commercial real
estate loans, $8.6 million in commercial business loans and $6.2 million in
consumer loans offset by repayments since March 31, 1997.

         Investment securities decreased approximately $1.4 million from March
31, 1997 to December 31, 1997 primarily as the result of purchases of $6.2
million and an increase in the market value on these available for sale
securities of approximately $200,000 partially offset by sold or called
securities of $8.2 million. Mortgage-backed securities increased approximately
$350,000 from $7.9 million at March 31, 1997 to $8.2 million at December 31,
1997. The increase was primarily the result of purchases of $2.2 million
partially offset by sales of $1.0 million and principal repayments.

         Premises and equipment increased approximately $560,000 from March
31, 1997 to December 31, 1997 primarily as the result of the construction of
two new branch offices which are scheduled to open in the next quarter.

         Net deposits decreased $800,000 from $100.5 million at March 31, 1997
to $99.7 million at December 31, 1997. The decrease in deposits was due to
increased competition within the Company's market area. Securities sold under
agreement to repurchase decreased $1.4 million from $4.9 million at March 31,
1997 to $3.5 million at December 31, 1997. The decrease was due to a
withdrawal in the normal course of business.

         Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $2.1 million from $4.7
million at March 31, 1997 to $6.8 million at December 31, 1997. Net proceeds
from advances were used to fund loan demand and the outflow of deposits and
repurchase agreements.

         Total stockholders' equity was $19.4 million at March 31, 1997
compared to $20.0 million at December 31, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE
MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996

         General. The Company's results of operations depend primarily upon
the level of net interest income, which is the difference between the interest
income earned on its interest-earning assets such as loans and investments,
and the costs of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities, primarily
deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also dependent upon the
level of the Company's non-interest income, including fee income and service
charges, and affected by the level of its non-interest expenses, including its
general and administrative expenses. Net interest income depends upon the
volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the
interest rates earned or paid on them, respectively.

         The Company reported net income of $281,000 during the three months
ended December 31, 1997 compared to net income of $258,000 during the three
months ended December 31, 1996. The increase in income of $23,000 between the
two periods was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income of
$23,000, an increase in non-interest income of $51,000, a decrease in the
provision for loss on loans of $13,000, and a decrease in income tax expense
of $25,000 partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses of
$89,000.

         The Company reported net income of $792,000 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1997 compared to net income of $292,000 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1996. The increase in income of $500,000 between the two periods
was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income of $1.2
million, and increase in non-interest income of $570,000, partially offset by
an increase in the provision for loss on loans of $60,000, an increase in
non-interest expenses of $1.0 million and an increase in income tax expense of
$224,000.

         Interest Income. Total interest income increased $50,000 and $2.4
million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1997 as compared to
the three and nine months ended December 31, 1996. The increase in interest
income for the three month period resulted primarily from an increase in the
average yield on interest-earning assets. The increase in interest income for
the nine month period resulted primarily from the inclusion of First
National's interest income for the period. The average yield on

                                      11
<PAGE>

interest-earning assets increased from 7.8% and 7.6% for the three and nine
months ended December 31, 1996 to 7.9% for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 1997. The average yield increased due to an increase in the
origination of higher yielding loans and an increase in higher yielding
investments. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased from
$83.2 million at December 31, 1996 to $120.7 million at December 31, 1997. The
increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets was due primarily
to the increase in the average balance of loans, mortgage-backed and
investment securities and other interest-earning assets as a result of the
acquisition of First National.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $26,000 and $1.2 million
for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the same
period in 1996. Interest expense increased for the three month period
primarily due to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
Interest expense increased for the nine month period primarily as a result of
the inclusion of First National's interest expense for the entire nine month
period compared to only three months for the same period in 1996. The average
balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased from $66.6 million at
December 31, 1996 to $101.1 million at December 31, 1997 as a result of the
inclusion of First National's interest-bearing liabilities. The average rate
paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 4.8% for the three and nine months
ended December 31, 1997 compared to 4.7% and 5.0% for the three and nine
months ended December 31, 1996. The average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities increased slightly for the three month period due to an increase
in the average rate paid on deposits in order to be competitive within the
Company's market area. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities
decreased for the nine month period primarily as a result of the acquisition
of a substantial amount of non-certificate accounts, including transaction
accounts, from First National as well as the success of Classic Bank's efforts
to increase its non-certificate accounts.

         Provision for Loan Losses. The Company's provision for loan losses
totaled $25,000 and $127,500 for the three and nine months ended December 31,
1997 compared to $37,500 and $67,500 for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 1996 based on management's overall assessment of the loan
portfolio. The increase for the nine month period was due to an increase in
charge-offs as a result of the acquisition of First National. Management
continually monitors its allowance for loan losses and makes adjustments as
economic conditions, portfolio quality and portfolio diversity dictate.
Although the Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level which
it considers to be adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no
assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that
additional provisions for loan losses will not be required for future periods.

         Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased approximately
$51,000 and $570,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1997
compared to the same period in 1996. The increase for the three month period
was due to an increase in service charges and other fees on deposits. The
increase for the nine month period was primarily the result of a $330,000 gain
recorded from the settlement of First National's pension plan. The settlement
of the pension plan is the result of merging First National's plan into
Classic Bank's pension plan, creating one pension plan for the Company.
Non-interest income also increased for the nine month period due to an
increase in service charges and other fees on deposits of approximately
$203,000, an increase in gain on sale of securities of $20,000, and an
increase in other income of $48,000 partially offset by a loss on disposal of
assets of $31,000. The increase in service charges and other fees on deposits
is the result of the inclusion of First National's income, as well as, an
increase in service charges on deposits charged by Classic Bank.

                                      12

         Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $89,000 for the
three months ended December 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.
Non-interest expenses increased for the three month period due to an increase
in compensation and benefits of $59,000; an increase in occupancy expense of
$17,000; an increase in advertising expense of $16,000, an increase in the
Kentucky bank franchise tax of $15,000, and an increase in other general and
administrative expenses of $26,000 partially offset by a gain on foreclosed
real estate of $28,000 and a decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums of
$16,000. The increase in compensation and benefits was due to the net increase
in the number of employees as a result of the hiring of new employees. The
increase in occupancy expenses resulted from increased depreciation as a
result of improvements made to the facilities. The increase in the bank
franchise tax was the result of new legislation. The increase in advertising
and other general and administrative expenses were the result of the
introduction of new product offerings and increases in expenses related to
automated teller machines due to the increased number of automated teller
machine locations. Federal deposit insurance premiums decreased as the result
of a one-time special assessment for SAIF-insured institutions of $316,000
recorded during the September 30, 1996 quarter.

         Non-interest expense increased $1.0 million for the nine months ended
December 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. Non-interest expenses
increased due to an increase in compensation and benefits of $690,000; an
increase in occupancy expense of $238,000; an increase in the amortization of
goodwill of $62,000, a net loss on foreclosed real estate of $25,000 and an
increase in audit, legal and other general and administrative expenses of
$404,000 partially offset by a decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums
of $372,000. The increase in compensation and benefits was due to the net
increase in the number of employees as a result of the hiring of new employees
and the acquisition of First National. The increase in occupancy expenses
resulted from increased depreciation as a result of improvements made to the
facilities and the inclusion of the expenses of First National. The increases
in audit, legal and general and administrative expenses were the result of the
introduction of new product offerings, costs relative to the continued
consolidation of the operations of the Company's subsidiaries, and the
inclusion of the expenses of First National for the entire nine month period
in 1997 compared to only three months of expenses for the nine month period in
1996. Federal deposit insurance premiums decreased as the result of a one-time
special assessment for SAIF-insured institutions of $316,000 recorded during
the September 30, 1996 quarter.

         Non-interest expense is anticipated to increase significantly during
the last quarter of fiscal 1998 when the Company opens two new branches
located in Greenup and Boyd counties in Kentucky.

         Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $25,000 for the
three months ended December 31, 1997 primarily due to an decrease in income
before income taxes and an increase in tax exempt income. Income tax expense
increased $224,000 the nine months ended December 31, 1997 due to an increase
in income before income taxes.

         Non-Performing Assets and Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance
for loan losses is calculated based upon an evaluation and assessment of
pertinent factors underlying the types and qualities of the Company's loans.
Management considers such factors as the payment status of a loan, the
borrower's ability to repay the loan, the estimated fair value of the
underlying collateral, anticipated economic conditions that may affect the
borrower's repayment ability and the Company's historical charge-offs. The
Company's allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 1997 was $827,000 or

                                      13
<PAGE>

 .9% of the total loans. The March 31, 1997 allowance for loan loss was
$801,000, or 1.0% of total loans. The allowance for loan losses at December
31, 1997 was allocated as follows: $305,000 to one-to-four family real estate
loans, $43,000 to commercial real estate loans, $60,000 to commercial business
loans, $106,000 to consumer loans and $313,000 remained unallocated.

         The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets is one indicator
of other exposure to credit risk. Non-performing assets of the Company consist
of non-accruing loans, accruing loans delinquent 90 days or more, and
foreclosed assets which have been acquired as a result of foreclosure or
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. For all periods presented the Company had no
troubled debt restructuring. The following table sets forth the amount of
non-performing assets at the periods indicated.

                                            December 31, 1997     March 31, 1997

         Total non-performing assets decreased $520,000 from March 31, 1997 to
December 31, 1997. The decrease in non-performing assets is the result of an
increase in management's collection efforts and the sale of foreclosed real
estate.

         Other Assets of Concern. Other than the non-performing assets set
forth in the table above, as of December 31, 1997, there were no loans with
respect to which known information about the possible credit problems of the
borrowers or the cash flows of the security properties have caused management
to have concerns as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present
loan repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such
items in the non-performing asset categories.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company's most liquid assets are
cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets are dependent on the
Company's operating, financing, and investing activities. At December 31, 1997
and March 31, 1997, cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.1 million and $8.8
million, respectively. The Company's primary sources of funds include
principal and interest payments on loans (both scheduled and prepayments),
maturities of investment securities and principal payments from
mortgage-backed securities, deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati
advances. While scheduled loan repayments and proceeds from maturing
investment securities and principal payments on mortgage-backed securities are
relatively predictable, deposit flows and early repayments are more influenced
by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition.

         Liquidity management is both a short- and long-term responsibility of
management. The Company adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon
management's assessment of expected loan demand, projected purchases of
investment and mortgage-backed securities, expected deposit flows, yields
available on interest-bearing deposits, and liquidity of its asset/liability
management program. Excess liquidity is generally invested in interest-bearing
overnight deposits and other short-term liquid asset funds. If funds are

                                      14
<PAGE>

required beyond the funds generated internally, the subsidiaries of the
Company have the ability to borrow funds from the FHLB. At December 31, 1997,
the Company had $6.8 million in borrowings outstanding with the FHLB.

         Classic Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets
as defined by OTS regulations. This requirement, which may be varied at the
direction of the OTS depending on economic conditions, is based upon a
percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings. The required ratio is
currently 4.0%. The Bank's liquidity ratios have consistently been maintained
at levels in compliance with regulatory requirements. As of December 31, 1997
and March 31, 1997, the Bank's liquidity ratios were 4.7% and 5.0%
respectively.

         At December 31, 1997, the Company had outstanding commitments to
originate loans of $6.7 million. The Company anticipates that it will have
sufficient funds available to meet its current commitments principally through
the use of current liquid assets and through its borrowing capacity with the
FHLB.

         Pursuant to rules promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision,
savings institutions must meet several separate minimum capital-to-asset
requirements. The following table summarizes, as of December 31, 1997, the
capital requirements applicable to Classic Bank and its actual capital ratios.
As of December 31, 1997, Classic Bank exceeded all current regulatory capital
standards.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

         The consolidated financial statements and related data presented
herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles which require the measurement of financial position and operating
results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the
relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary

                                      15
<PAGE>

impact of inflation on the operations of the Company is reflected in increased
operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets
and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a
result, interest rates, generally, have a more significant impact on a
financial institution's performance than does inflation. Interest rates do not
necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of
goods and services.
