                          Independent Auditors' Report



     The Board of Directors
     Citizens First Corporation:


     We  have  audited  the  accompanying   balance  sheets  of  Citizens  First
     Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related
     statements of operations,  comprehensive  income,  changes in stockholders'
     equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements
     are the responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our responsibility is
     to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
     standards.  Those  standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to
     obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
     of material  misstatement.  An audit includes  examining,  on a test basis,
     evidence   supporting   the  amounts  and   disclosures  in  the  financial
     statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
     and  significant  estimates made by  management,  as well as evaluating the
     overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We  believe  that our  audits
     provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
     in  all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  Citizens  First
     Corporation  as of  December  31,  1998 and 1997,  and the  results  of its
     operations  and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity  with
     generally accepted accounting principles.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1998



 (1)    Organization and Basis of Presentation
        Citizens First  Corporation ("the Company") was incorporated on December
        24, 1975 for the purpose of conducting  business as an investment  club.
        The Company is registered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
        and is headquartered in Bowling Green,  Kentucky. In September 1998, the
        Company filed an application  with the Kentucky  Department of Financial
        Institutions  ("KDFI")  and the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation
        ("FDIC") to organize and charter  Citizens First Bank, Inc. (the "Bank")
        as a new Kentucky bank and a wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company. In
        December  1998,  the  Company  filed an  application  with the  Board of
        Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB") for approval to become a
        bank holding  company under the Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.
        On December 28, 1998,  the Federal  Reserve Board approved the Company's
        application to become a bank holding  company.  On January 21, 1999, the
        FDIC  approved  the Bank's  application  for federal  deposit  insurance
        subject to certain conditions,  including minimum capital  requirements,
        which  have  been  subsequently  met by the  Bank.  The  Bank  commenced
        operations on February 18, 1999.

  (2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        (a)   Use of Estimates

              The  preparation  of  financial   statements  in  conformity  with
              generally accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to
              make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in
              the financial statements and accompanying notes.
              Actual results could differ from those estimates.

              Certain amounts in the accompanying financial statements presented
              for prior year have been  reclassified  to  conform  with the 1998
              presentation.  These reclassifications do not affect net income as
              previously reported.

        (b)   Cash and Cash Equivalents

              For purposes of reporting  cash flows,  cash and cash  equivalents
              include cash on hand and balances due from banks.

        (c)   Securities

              The Company has  classified  all securities as available for sale.
              Securities available for sale include securities which may be sold
              in  response to changes in interest  rates,  resultant  prepayment
              risk and other  factors  related to interest  rate and  prepayment
              risk  changes.  Securities  available for sale are carried at fair
              value with unrealized gains or losses, net of tax effect, included
              in stockholders' equity. Amortization of premiums and accretion of
              discounts are recorded using the interest method.  Gains or losses
              on sales of securities  are computed on a specific  identification
              cost basis.

        (d)   Other Assets

              Other assets  consist  principally  of issuance  costs incurred in
              relation  to raising  capital from the  initial  public
              offering  described in note 8. These costs were netted against the
              proceeds received in 1999 from the issuance of capital stock.

                          Notes to Financial Statements


        (e)   Income Taxes

              The  Company   utilizes  the  asset  and  liability   approach  to
              accounting  for  income  taxes.  The  objective  of the  asset and
              liability   method  is  to  establish   deferred  tax  assets  and
              liabilities  for  temporary   differences  between  the  financial
              reporting  and  the  tax  bases  of  the   Company's   assets  and
              liabilities  at enacted  tax rates  expected  to be in effect when
              such amounts are  realized or settled.  The effect on deferred tax
              assets and  liabilities  of a change in tax rates is recognized in
              income in the period that includes the enactment date.

        (f)   Earnings Per Share

              Basic earnings per share (EPS) is determined by dividing income by
              the weighted average number of shares of common stock  outstanding
              during the period adjusted for the stock splits  described in note
              8. Diluted EPS takes into account the dilutive effect of potential
              common  stock.  Diluted  and basic EPS are the same as the Company
              does not have any instruments that are considered potential common
              stock.   The  weighted  average  number  of  shares  used  in  the
              calculation of EPS was 106,386 shares for 1998 and 1997.

        (g)   Financial Instruments

              Fair value for cash and cash equivalents and short term borrowings
              approximate  their carrying value because of the short maturity of
              those instruments. For securities, fair value equals quoted market
              prices.

        (h)   Comprehensive Income

              The Company applies  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards
              ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income". SFAS No. 130
              establishes   standards   for  the   reporting   and   display  of
              comprehensive  income and its components.  Comprehensive income is
              defined  as the  change  in  equity  (net  assets)  of a  business
              enterprise  during a period from transactions and other events and
              circumstances  from  nonowner  sources.  For  the  Company,   this
              includes  net  income  and net  unrealized  gains  and  losses  on
              available for sale investment securities.  This Statement requires
              only additional  disclosures in the financial statements;  it does
              not  affect  the  Company's   financial  position  or  results  of
              operations.

  (3)   Securities

        The amortized cost,  gross unrealized  gains and losses,  and fair value
        of securities  available for sale at December 31, 1998
        and 1997 are as follows:

        There were no sales of  securities  during 1998.  Gross gains of $53,566
        were realized on sales of securities in 1997. There were no gross losses

                                                          ========   ==

        The short-term borrowings are secured by the  construction in process of
        the Bank's  principal  office and the Company's  investment  securities.
        These  borrowings  were repaid from the proceeds from the initial
        public offering received in 1999. See note 8.

        Total income  taxes for the years ended  December 31, 1998 and 1997 were
        allocated as follows:

                                                     1998       1997

                          Notes to Financial Statements




        Income tax expense  attributable  to income from  operations was $ 0 and
        $11,608 for the years ended  December  31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively,
        and  differed  from the amounts  computed by applying  the U.S.  federal
        income tax rate of 34  percent to pretax  income  from  operations  as a
        result of the following:

        The tax effects of temporary  differences  that give rise to significant
        portions of the  deferred tax assets and  deferred  tax  liabilities  at
        December 31, 1998 and 1997 are presented below:

                                             1998          1997
                                          ----------   ---------

salaries and professional fees

              Net deferred tax assets        --          --
                                          ---------    --------

 Deferred tax liabilities:
          Investment Securities ......     (428,314)   (308,267)
                                          ---------    --------
              Net deferred tax liability  $(428,314)   (308,267)
                                           =========   ========

        The  valuation  allowance  for  deferred tax assets was $0 at January 1,
        1998 and 1997 . The  increase in the  valuation  allowance  for the year
        ended December 31, 1998 was $137,251.  In assessing the realizability of
        deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than
        not that some  portion or all of the  deferred  tax  assets  will not be
        realized.  The ultimate  realization of deferred tax assets is dependent
        upon the  generation of future taxable income during the period in which
        those temporary differences become deductible.  Management considers the
        scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable
        income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
        Based upon the level of historical  taxable income and  projections  for
        future  taxable  income,  management  does not believe it is more likely
        than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these  deductible
        differences.  Accordingly,  the  valuation  allowance  was  increased to
        $137,251 at December 31, 1998, to offset the potential  benefit  related
        to these deductible differences.  Management will continue to review the
        results of future operations and the resulting future taxable income to
        determine  when,  if ever,  a tax  benefit  related to these  deductible
        differences may be recognized.

                          Notes to Financial Statements


        (6)   Related-party Transaction

                   The Company  occupied  office space from a stockholder  at no
              charge during 1998.

        (7)   Concentration of Market Risk

              Substantially  all of  the  Company's  assets  consist  of  equity
              securities.  The single  largest common stock held at December 31,
              1998  and  1997 was  approximately  22% and 48% of  total  assets,
              respectively.

        (8)   Subsequent Event

                  On February 11, 1999,  the Company  offered  536,667 shares of
              its  Common  Stock in an  initial  public  offering  at a price of
              $15.00  per  share.  The  proceeds  received  were   approximately
              $7,337,000,  net of underwriter's commission and issuance costs of
              approximately $713,000. The stock was offered in order to fund the
              start-up of the Bank.  The proceeds were used to repay  short-term
              borrowings,  to repay costs incurred in the formation of the Bank,
              and to capitalize the Bank.

        (9)   Stock Splits

              On August 5, 1998,  the Company's  Board of Directors  approved to
              increase the number of authorized shares to 1,000,000. At the same
              time, the Board of Directors  approved a 100-for-1  stock split to
              adjust the outstanding  shares to the approximate  market value of
              current  assets in light of the  increase  in  authorized  shares.
              Subsequently, on February 5, 1999, the Board of Directors approved
              a 1.043-for-1 stock split to adjust the outstanding  shares to the
              approximate  market  value  of  current  assets  on the  close  of
              business on February 5, 1999. All share and per share  information
              included  in  the  accompanying  financial  statements  have  been
              adjusted to reflect the stock splits.
