ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
- -----------------

GENERAL

     THE COMPANY.  CKF Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
was organized by Central Kentucky Federal Savings Bank, formerly Central
Kentucky Federal Savings and Loan Association ("Central Kentucky Federal" or the
"Bank") to be a savings institution holding company whose only subsidiaries are
the Bank and its subsidiary.  The Company was incorporated at the direction of
the Board of Directors of the Bank in August 1994.  On December 29, 1994, the
Bank converted from mutual to stock form as a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company (the "Conversion").  In conjunction with the Conversion, the Company
issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock (the "Common Stock") to the public.

     The Company is classified as a unitary savings and loan holding company
subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") of the
Department of the Treasury.  Prior to its acquisition of the Bank, the Company
had no assets and no liabilities and engaged in no business activities.  The
Company purchased all the capital stock of the Bank issued in the conversion in
exchange for 50% of the net conversion proceeds.  Since the acquisition, the
Company has not engaged in any significant activity other than holding the stock
of the Bank and operating the Bank.  The Company has no significant assets other
than the outstanding capital of the Bank and $354,000 in bank deposits held by
the Bank, which are invested with the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of
Cincinnati.  Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including
financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank and its
subsidiary.  On a consolidated basis at December 31, 1997, the Company had total
assets of $62.9 million, deposits of $43.2 million, net loans receivable of
$55.9 million and stockholders' equity of $13.8 million.

     The executive offices of the Company and the Bank are located at 340 West
Main Street, Danville, Kentucky 40422, and its telephone number is (606) 236-
4181.

     THE BANK.  Central Kentucky Federal was formed in 1886 as a Kentucky-
chartered mutual building and loan association.  In December 1960, the Bank
obtained federal insurance of accounts and became a member of the FHLB of
Cincinnati.  The Bank converted to a federal mutual savings and loan association
in 1969 and changed its name to Central Kentucky Federal Savings and Loan
Association.  Upon its conversion to stock form in December 1994, the Bank
adopted its present name.  The Bank operates through one full service office in
Danville, Kentucky.

     The Bank is principally engaged in the business of accepting deposits from
the general public through a variety of deposit programs and investing these
funds by originating loans in its market area, which include loans secured by
one- to four-family residential properties, loans secured by multi-family
residential and commercial properties, construction loans, second mortgage loans
on single-family residences, home equity lines of credit and consumer loans,
both secured and unsecured, including loans secured by savings accounts.

     Deposits of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC") up to applicable limits for each depositor, and the Bank is
a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati, which is one of the 12 district banks
comprising the FHLB System.  The Bank is subject to comprehensive examination,
supervision and regulation by the OTS and the FDIC.  Such regulation is intended
primarily for the protection of depositors.

LENDING ACTIVITIES

     General.   Central Kentucky Federal's primary lending activity is the
origination of conventional mortgage loans for the purpose of constructing,
purchasing or refinancing owner-occupied one- to four-family residential
properties in its primary market area.  To a lesser extent, Central Kentucky
Federal originates multi-family residential, commercial real estate and church
loans.  Central Kentucky Federal also originates consumer loans.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
     Central Kentucky Federal has sought to build an interest rate-sensitive
loan portfolio by originating adjustable rate mortgage loans ("ARMs").  As of
December 31, 1997, 93.3% of the mortgage loan portfolio was comprised of ARMs.
Central Kentucky Federal's ARMs have an interest rate that adjusts periodically
to the index value of the National Average Contract Mortgage rate for the
Purchase of Previously Occupied Homes by Combined Lenders.  The interest rates
on these loans have an initial adjustment period of between one and seven years,
and generally adjust annually thereafter, with a maximum adjustment of 2% per
year and 6% over the life of the loan.  All mortgage loans originated by Central
Kentucky Federal are retained in Central Kentucky Federal's loan portfolio.

     The retention of ARMs in the portfolio helps reduce Central Kentucky
Federal's exposure to increase in interest rates.  However, there are
unquantifiable credit risks resulting from potential increased costs to the
borrower as a result of repricing of ARMs.  It is possible that during periods
of rising interest rates, the risk of default on ARMs may increase due to the
upward adjustment of interest costs to the borrower.  Although ARMs allow
Central Kentucky Federal to increase the sensitivity of its asset base to
changes in interest rates, the extent of this interest sensitivity is limited by
the periodic and lifetime interest rate ceiling contained in ARM contracts.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that yields on Central Kentucky Federal's
ARMs will adjust sufficiently to compensate for increase in its cost of funds.
The Bank intends to continue actively monitoring the interest rate environment,
prepayment activity, interest rate risk and other factors in developing its
strategy with respect to the volume and pricing of its fixed rate loans and in
its lending activities generally.

     The Bank is also involved to a limited extent in the origination of fixed-
rate mortgage loans on owner-occupied, single-family residential properties.
The Board of Directors initially authorized the origination of up to $1.0
million of such loans in 1992 to meet consumer demand in a declining interest
rate environment.  All such loans were originated in 1992 and 1993, and the
Board of Directors in 1994 authorized the origination of an additional $1.0
million in fixed rate residential loans.  Because of the subsequent increase in
interest rates in 1994, only approximately $889,000 in fixed rate loans have
since been originated by the Bank from this second authorized amount as of
December 31, 1997.  See "-- One- to Four-Family Real Estate Lending."

     Savings institutions generally are subject to the loan-to-one-borrower
lending limits applicable to national banks.  With certain limited exceptions,
the maximum amount that a savings institution or a national bank may lend to any
borrower (including certain related entities of the borrower) at one time may
not exceed 15% of the unimpaired capital and surplus of the institution, plus an
additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus for loans fully secured by
readily marketable collateral.  Savings institutions are additionally authorized
to make loans to one borrower, for any purpose, in an amount not to exceed
$500,000 or, by order of the Director of OTS, in an amount not to exceed the
lesser of $30,000,000 or 30% of unimpaired capital and surplus to develop
residential housing, provided:  (i) the purchase price of each single-family
dwelling in the development does not exceed $500,000; (ii) the savings
institution is in compliance with its fully phased-in capital requirements;
(iii) the loans comply with applicable loan-to-value requirements; and (iv) the
aggregate amount of loans made under this authority does not exceed 150% of
unimpaired capital and surplus.  At December 31, 1997, the maximum amount that
the Bank could have loaned to any one borrower without prior OTS approval was
$2.1 million.  At such date, the largest aggregate amount of loans that the Bank
had outstanding to any one borrower was $915,000.

     Scheduled contractual principal repayments of loans do not necessarily
reflect the actual life of such assets.  The average life of long-term loans is
substantially less than their contractual terms, due to prepayments.  In
addition, "due-on-sale" clauses in mortgage loans generally give Central
Kentucky Federal the right to declare a loan due and payable in the event, among
other things, that a borrower sells the real property subject to the mortgage
and the loan is not repaid.  Due-on-sale clauses are a means of increasing the
rate on existing mortgage loans during periods of rising interest rates and
increasing the turnover of mortgage loans in the Bank's portfolio.  The average
life of mortgage loans tends to increase when current mortgage loan market rates
are substantially higher than rates on existing mortgage loans and tends to
decrease when current mortgage loan market rates are substantially lower than
rates on existing mortgage loans.

     One- to Four-Family Real Estate Lending.  The primary emphasis of the
Bank's lending activity is the origination of loans secured by first mortgages
on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residential properties.  At December 31,
1997, $44.4 million, or 78.75%, of the Bank's gross loan portfolio consisted of
loans secured by one- to four-family residential real properties which were
owner-occupied, single-family residences primarily located in the Bank's market
area and construction loans that are originated for subsequent conversion into
permanent financing secured by the underlying residential property.

     Central Kentucky Federal offers 15 year term, fixed rate mortgage loans and
ARMs.  At December 31, 1997, $1.2 million, or 2.1%, of Central Kentucky
Federal's loan portfolio consisted of 15 year or less term, fixed rate loans.
Fixed rate loans are made only on single family, owner occupied homes.  Central
Kentucky Federal also originates loans on condominiums, duplex dwellings and
townhomes in its market area.

     Central Kentucky Federal offers four types of residential ARMs, all of
which are tied to the National Average Contract Mortgage Rate for the Purchase
of Previously Occupied Homes by Combined Lenders index.  The ARMs' adjustment
periods range from one to seven years, with interest rate adjustments of not
more than 2% per year and a limit on adjustments over the life of the loan of
not more than 6%.

     The Bank's adjustable rate residential mortgage loans are for terms of up
to 30 years,  amortized on a monthly basis, with principal and interest due each
month.  Residential real estate loans often remain outstanding for significantly
shorter periods than their contractual terms.  Borrowers may refinance or prepay
loans at their option without penalty.

     The Bank's lending policies generally limit the maximum loan-to-value ratio
on mortgage loans secured by owner-occupied properties to 80% of the lesser of
the appraised value or purchase price.  The maximum loan-to-value ratio on
mortgage loans secured by non-owner-occupied properties and/or used for
refinancing purposes is 80%.  The Bank does originate some loans on owner-
occupied single-family residences with loan-to-value ratios as high as 89.9%.
In each case, for those loans with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80%, the
Bank also charges an additional .5% over the otherwise available interest rate,
plus a loan fee of .5% rather than $250.

     Central Kentucky Federal also originates, to a limited extent, fixed-rate
mortgage loans on owner-occupied, single-family residential properties with
terms to maturity of up to 15 years.  Central Kentucky Federal originated
$471,000 in fixed rate single-family mortgage loans with a maximum term of 15
years during 1997 and such loans amounted to $1.2 million, or 2.1%, of the
Bank's loan portfolio at December 31, 1997.  All such loans were held as long-
term investments, and none were held for sale.

     Construction Lending.  Central Kentucky Federal engages in construction
lending involving loans to qualified borrowers for construction of one- to four-
family residential and commercial properties, with the intent of such loans
converting to permanent financing upon completion of construction.  These
properties are primarily located in the Bank's market area.  At December 31,
1997, the Bank's loan portfolio included $693,000 of net loans secured by
properties under construction, all of which were construction/permanent loans
structured to become permanent loans upon the completion of construction.  All
construction loans are secured by a first lien on the property under
construction.  Loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as construction
progresses and as inspections warrant.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
Construction/permanent loans generally have adjustable or fixed interest rates
and are underwritten in accordance with the same terms and requirements as the
Bank's permanent mortgages, except the loans generally provide for disbursement
in stages during a construction period of up to six months, during which period
the borrower is not required to make monthly payments.  Accrued interest must be
paid at completion of construction and monthly payments start being paid one
month from the date the loan is converted to permanent financing.  Borrowers
must satisfy all credit requirements which would apply to the Bank's permanent
mortgage loan financing for the subject property and must execute a Construction
Loan Agreement with the Bank.

     Construction financing generally is considered to involve a higher degree
of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate.
Risk of loss on a construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of
the initial estimate of the property's value at completion of construction or
development and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction.  During
the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and cost
overruns.  If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, the
Bank may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to
permit completion of the development.  If the estimate of value proves to be
inaccurate, the Bank may be confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan,
with a project having a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment.
The ability of a developer to sell developed lots or completed dwelling units
will depend on, among other things, demand, pricing, availability of comparable
properties and economic conditions.  The Bank has sought to minimize this risk
by limiting construction lending to qualified borrowers in the Bank's market
area and by limiting the aggregate amount of outstanding construction loans.

     Multi-Family and Commercial Real Estate Lending.  The multi-family and
commercial real estate loans originated by the Bank have generally been made to
individuals, small businesses and partnerships and have primarily been secured
by first mortgages on apartment buildings, office buildings, churches and other
properties.  The Bank benefits from originating such loans due to the higher
origination fees and interest rates, as well as shorter terms to maturity, than
can be obtained from one- to four-family residential mortgage loans.  Central
Kentucky Federal's multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans
generally have terms of 20 years and have adjustable rates and loan-to-value
ratios not exceeding 80%.  At December 31, 1997, loans on commercial real estate
properties constituted approximately $7.8 million, or 13.84%, respectively, of
the Bank's gross loan portfolio.

     Multi-family and commercial real estate lending entails significant
additional risks as compared to one- to four-family residential lending.  For
example, such loans typically involve large loans to single borrowers or related
borrowers, the payment experience on such loans is typically dependent on the
successful operation of the project, and these risks can be significantly
affected by the supply and demand conditions in the market for commercial
property and multi-family residential units.  To minimize these risks, Central
Kentucky Federal generally limits itself to its market area and to borrowers
with which it has substantial experience or who are otherwise well known to the
Bank.  It is the Bank's current practice to obtain personal guarantees and
current financial statements from all principals obtaining commercial real
estate loans.   Substantially all of the properties securing the Bank's
commercial real estate loans are inspected by the Bank's lending personnel
before the loan is made.  The Bank also obtains appraisals on each property in
accordance with applicable regulations.  If such loans later become delinquent,
the Bank contacts and works with the borrower to resolve the delinquency before
initiating foreclosure proceedings.

     Consumer Lending.  Central Kentucky Federal does not emphasize consumer
lending although it does originate such loans on a regular basis.  The Bank
originates consumer loans on a secured and unsecured basis and generally
requires a pre-existing relationship with the Bank.  The Bank generally makes
certificate of deposit loans for terms of up to six months for up to 90% of the
face amount of the certificate.  The interest rate charged on these loans is the
prevailing market rate but not less than one percent above the rate paid on the
certificate, and interest is billed on a quarterly basis.  These loans are
payable on demand and the account must be assigned to the Bank as collateral for
the loan.  At December 31, 1997, consumer loans amounted to $3.1 million, or
5.43%, of the Bank's gross loan portfolio.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
     Consumer loans generally involve more risk than first mortgage one- to
four-family residential real estate loans.  Repossessed collateral for a
defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the
outstanding loan balance as a result of damage, loss or depreciation, and the
remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection
efforts against the borrower.  In addition, loan collections are dependent on
the borrower's continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be
adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.
Further, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal
and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be
recovered.  These loans may also give rise to claims and defenses by a borrower
against the Bank, and a borrower may be able to assert against the Bank claims
and defenses which it has against the seller of the underlying collateral.  In
underwriting consumer loans, the Bank considers the borrower's credit history,
an analysis of the borrower's income, expenses and ability to repay the loan and
the value of the collateral.  The Bank's risks associated with consumer loans
are further minimized by the modest amount of consumer loans made by the Bank.

     Loan Solicitation and Processing.  Loan originations are derived from a
number of sources.  Residential mortgage, consumer and other loan originations
primarily come from walk-in customers and referrals by realtors, depositors and
borrowers.  Loan applications may be taken by the President or Vice President of
Lending of the Bank, and are then submitted to the Bank's Loan Committee
consisting of the President, Vice President of Lending and two members of the
Board of Directors.  Upon receipt of a loan application from a prospective
borrower, a credit report and verifications are ordered to verify specific
information relating to the loan applicant's employment, income and credit
standing.  An appraisal of the real estate intended to secure the proposed loan
is undertaken by an independent appraiser approved by the Bank. All mortgage
loans are required to be presented to the Loan Committee for final approval.
All unsecured consumer loans over $50,000 must be approved by the Board of
Directors.  Consumer loans less than $50,000 may be approved by the President
and Vice President of Lending, or individually if less than $25,000, and are
presented at the next meeting of the Board of Directors for ratification.

     Loan applicants are promptly notified of the decision of the Bank.
Interest rates on approved loans are subject to change if the loan is not funded
within 30 days after approval for residential mortgage loans and for consumer
loans.  If an approved loan is not funded within 30 days, the applicant must re-
apply.  It has been management's experience that substantially all approved
loans are funded.  Fire and casualty insurance, as well as flood insurance, are
required for all loans as appropriate, and a title opinion is required for loans
secured by real estate.  The requirement of a title opinion rather than title
insurance is a standard practice in the Bank's market area because of the desire
by financial institutions to use attorneys familiar with the land recordation
process and also because such opinions are generally less costly than insurance.
To  minimize its exposure from a faulty opinion, the Bank requires that
attorneys providing opinions maintain a minimum amount of malpractice insurance
against deficiencies in such opinions.  The Bank has never experienced a loss
arising from a deficient title opinion.

(1)  Construction loans include one loan at December 31, 1997 that will be
     converted to a permanent loan in the non-residential category upon
     completion of construction.  See " -- Loan Portfolio Composition."


     Central Kentucky Federal has never sold any of its loans.  The Bank also
does not service any loans for other lenders.

     Interest Rates and Loan Fees.  Interest rates charged by the Bank on
mortgage loans are primarily determined by competitive loan rates offered in its
market area.  Mortgage loan rates reflect factors such as general interest rate
levels, the supply of money available to the savings industry and the demand for
such loans.  These factors are in turn affected by general economic conditions,
the monetary policies of the Federal government, including the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"), the
general supply of money in the economy, tax policies and governmental budget
matters.

     In addition to the interest earned on loans, the Bank receives fees in
connection with loan commitments and originations, loan modifications, late
payments and fees for miscellaneous services related to its loans.  The Bank
charges a processing fee for its adjustable rate mortgage loans and fixed rate
mortgage loans.  All fee income is recognized by the Bank in accordance with
guidelines established by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 91.

     To the extent that loans are originated or acquired for the portfolio, SFAS
No. 91 limits immediate recognition of loan origination or acquisition fees as
revenues and requires that such income (net of certain loan origination or
acquisition costs) be recognized over the estimated life of such loans and
thereby reduces the amount of revenue recognized by Central Kentucky Federal at
the time such loans are originated or acquired.  At December 31, 1997, the Bank
had received $62,000 of loan fees, net of loan origination costs, that had been
deferred and were being recognized as income over the estimated lives of the
related loans.

     Asset Classification and Allowance for Loan Losses.  Federal regulations
require savings associations to review their assets on a regular basis and to
classify them as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss," if warranted.  Assets
classified as substandard or doubtful require the institution to establish
general allowances for loan losses.  If an asset or portion thereof is
classified loss, the insured institution must either establish specified
allowances for loan losses in the amount

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss, or charge off such amount.
An asset which does not currently warrant classification but which possesses
weaknesses or deficiencies deserving close attention is required to be
designated as "special mention."  Currently, general loss allowances established
to cover possible losses related to assets classified substandard or doubtful
may be included in determining an institution's regulatory capital, while
specific valuation allowances for loan losses do not qualify as regulatory
capital.  See "Regulation of the Bank -- Regulatory Capital Requirements."  OTS
examiners may disagree with the insured institution's classifications and
amounts reserved.  If an institution does not agree with an examiner's
classification of an asset, it may appeal this determination to the OTS.
Management of the Bank reviews assets on a monthly basis, and at the end of each
quarter prepares an asset classification listing in conformity with the OTS
regulations, which is reviewed by the Board of Directors.  At December 31, 1997,
management had no assets classified as special mention, $293,000 of assets
classified as substandard, no assets classified as doubtful and no assets
classified as loss.   For additional information, see " -- Non-Performing Loans
and Other Problem Assets."  See also " -- Multi-Family and Commercial Real
Estate Lending."

     In originating loans, the Bank recognizes that credit losses will be
experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the
type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of
the loan, general economic conditions and, in the case of a secured loan, the
quality of the security for the loan.  It is management's policy to maintain an
adequate allowance for loan losses based on, among other things, the Bank's and
the industry's historical loan loss experience, evaluation of economic
conditions and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality.  The
Bank increases its allowance for loan losses by charging provisions for loan
losses against the Bank's income.

     In June 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan."  This promulgation, which was amended by
SFAS No. 118 as to certain income recognition and disclosure provisions, became
effective as to the Company in fiscal 1995.  These accounting standards require
that impaired loans be measured based upon the present value of expected future
cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or as an
alternative, at the loan's observable market price or fair value of the
collateral.  The Bank's current procedures for evaluating impaired loans result
in carrying such loans at the lower of cost or fair value.  See Note 1 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.  At December 31, 1997, the Bank had
identified impaired loans, as defined by SFAS No. 114, totaling $66,000 for
which no allowance for loss has been provided.

     General allowances are made pursuant to management's assessment of risk in
the Bank's loan portfolio as a whole.  Specific allowances are provided for
individual loans when ultimate collection is considered questionable by
management after reviewing the current status of loans which are contractually
past due and considering the net realizable value of the security for the loan.
Management also reviews individual loans for which full collectibility may not
be reasonably assured and evaluates among other things the net realizable value
of the underlying collateral.  General allowances are included in calculating
the Bank's risk-based capital, while specific allowances are not so included.
Management continues to actively monitor the Bank's asset quality and to charge
off loans against the allowance for loan losses when appropriate or to provide
specific loss reserves when necessary.  Although management believes it uses the
best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowance
for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions
differ substantially from the economic conditions in the assumptions used in
making the initial determinations.

     The Bank was last examined by the OTS in November 1996 and its loan loss
allowance was considered by the OTS to be adequate as of that time.  While the
Bank believes it has established its existing allowances for loan losses in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, there can be no
assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Bank's loan portfolio during future
examinations, will not request the Bank to significantly increase its allowance
for loan losses, thereby negatively effecting the Bank's financial condition and
earnings.

     Non-Performing Loans and Other Problem Assets.  Management reviews the
Bank's loans on a regular basis.  The policy of the Bank is to classify in a
nonaccrual status any mortgage loan which is past due 90 days or more, and whose
loan balance plus accrued interest exceeds 90% of the estimated loan collateral
value.  Consumer and  commercial loans not secured by real estate are charged-
off, or any expected loss is reserved after they become more than 90 days past
due.

                                       11

     The Bank's collection procedures provide that late payment notices are
mailed on the 10th, 20th and last day of the month.  After a loan becomes 60
days delinquent, the customer will be contacted by the lending officer with an
attempt to collect the delinquent payments or establish a work out plan to
remove the loan from the delinquent status.  After a loan becomes 90 days or
more past due, management will generally initiate legal proceedings, unless a
work out plan has been developed with the borrower.

     Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure is classified
as real estate owned until such time as it is sold.  When such property is
acquired, it is recorded at the lower of the unpaid principal balance or its
fair market value.  Any required write-down of the loan to its appraised fair
market value upon foreclosure is charged against the allowance for loan losses.
Subsequent to foreclosure, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, a valuation allowance is established if the carrying value of the
property exceeds its fair value net of related selling expenses.
 
     The following table sets forth information with respect to the Bank's
nonperforming assets at the dates indicated.

(1)  Non-accrual status denotes any mortgage loan past due 90 days or more and
     whose loan balance, plus accrued interest exceeds 90% of the estimated loan
     collateral value, and any consumer or commercial loan more than 90 days
     past due, whose principal and accrued interest exceeds 90% of the fair
     value of the collateral.  Payments received on a non-accrual loan are
     either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest
     income, or both, depending on assessment of the collectibility of the loan.
(2)  Other non-performing assets represents property acquired by the Bank
     through foreclosure or repossession.  This property is carried at the fair
     market value, net of any selling expenses.


     During the year ended December 31, 1997, additional interest income of
$3,892 would have been recorded on loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis if
the loans had been current throughout the year.  Interest on such loans actually
included in income during the year ended December 31, 1997 was $7,905.

     At December 31, 1997, there were no loans identified by management, which
were not reflected in the preceding table but as to which known information
about possible credit problems of borrowers caused management to have serious
doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment
terms.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

     Central Kentucky Federal is permitted under federal law to make certain
investments, including investments in securities issued by various federal
agencies and state and municipal governments, deposits at the FHLB of
Cincinnati, certificates of deposits in federally insured institutions, certain
bankers' acceptances and federal funds.  The Bank may also invest, subject to
certain limitations, in commercial paper having one of the two highest
investment ratings of a nationally recognized credit rating agency, and certain
other types of corporate debt securities and mutual funds.  Federal regulations
require the Bank to maintain an investment in FHLB of Cincinnati stock and a
minimum amount of liquid assets which may be invested in cash and specified
securities.  From time to time, the OTS adjusts the percentage of liquid assets
which savings institutions are required to maintain.  For additional
information, see "Regulation of the Bank -- Liquidity Requirements."

     The Bank invests in investment securities in order to diversify its assets,
manage cash flow, obtain yield and maintain the minimum levels of liquid assets
required by regulatory authorities.  Such investments generally include
purchases of federal funds, federal government and agency securities and
qualified deposits in other financial institutions.  Investment decisions
generally are made by the Investment Committee comprised of Directors Stigall,
Hudson and Bosley.

     It is management's intention, and Central Kentucky Federal has the ability,
to hold the majority of its investment security portfolio to maturity.  In
accordance with SFAS No. 115, effective January 1, 1994, the Bank began
classifying marketable equity securities as investment securities held for sale.
Investment securities in this classification are recorded at market value.  At
December 31, 1997, the unrealized holding gains of $539,000, less the applicable
deferred tax of $183,000, is included as a separate component of retained
earnings pursuant to SFAS No. 115.  The balance of investment securities being
held to maturity are recorded at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts on a method which approximates the interest method over
the term of the related security.  For further information, see Note 2 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.

     The following table sets forth the carrying value of the Bank's investment
securities portfolio at the dates indicated.

DEPOSIT ACTIVITY AND OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDS

     General.  Deposits are the primary source of the Bank's funds for lending
and other investment purposes.  In addition to deposits, Central Kentucky
Federal derives funds from loan principal repayments, maturing investment
securities, and interest payments.  Loan repayments and interest payments are a
relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows are
significantly influenced by general interest rates and money market conditions.

     Deposits.  Deposits are attracted principally from within the Bank's
primary market area through the offering of a variety of deposit instruments,
including passbook and statement accounts and certificates of deposit ranging in
term from three months to five years.  Deposit account terms vary, principally
on the basis of the minimum balance required, the time periods the funds must
remain on deposit and the interest rate.  The Bank also offers individual
retirement accounts ("IRAs").

     The Bank's policies are designed primarily to attract deposits from local
residents rather than to solicit deposits from areas outside its primary market.
The Bank does not accept deposits from brokers due to the volatility and rate
sensitivity of such deposits.   Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service
fees and withdrawal penalties are established by the Bank on a periodic basis.
Determination of rates and terms are predicated upon funds acquisition and
liquidity requirements, rates paid by competitors, growth goals and federal
regulations.

     Savings deposits in the Bank as of December 31, 1997 were represented by
the various types of savings programs described below.

     The Bank does not offer premiums for deposits, does not generally offer
interest rates on deposits which exceed the average rates offered by other
financial institutions in its market area, and usually does not institute
promotional programs which result in increased rates being paid on deposits.
The Bank does, however, offer above-average rates on certificates of deposit if
management believes that the deposit will entail administrative savings by the
Bank as well as contribute to the stability of the Bank's core deposit base.
These strategies are consistent with management's goals of keeping the Bank's
cost of funds at reduced levels and maintaining slow and measurable growth for
the Bank.

BORROWINGS

     Savings deposits historically have been the primary source of funds for the
Bank's lending and investment activities and for its general business
activities.  The Bank is authorized, however, to use advances from the FHLB of
Cincinnati to supplement its supply of lendable funds and to meet deposit
withdrawal requirements.  Advances from the FHLB are secured by the Bank's stock
in the FHLB and a portion of the Bank's mortgage loans.

     The FHLB of Cincinnati functions as a central reserve bank providing credit
for savings institutions and certain other member financial institutions.  As a
member, Central Kentucky Federal is required to own capital stock in the FHLB
and is authorized to apply for advances on the security of such stock and
certain of its home mortgages and other assets (principally, securities which
are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States) provided certain
standards related to creditworthiness have been met.  See "Regulation of the
Bank -- Federal Home Loan Bank System."

     The following table sets forth certain information regarding borrowings by
the Bank at the dates and for the periods indicated.

SUBSIDIARY ACTIVITIES

     As a federally chartered savings bank, Central Kentucky Federal is
permitted to invest an amount equal to 2% of its assets in subsidiaries with an
additional investment of 1% of assets where such investment serves primarily
community, inner-city, and community development purposes.  Under such
limitations, as of December 31, 1997 Central Kentucky Federal was authorized to
invest up to approximately $1.3 million in the stock of or loans to subsidiaries
including the additional 1% investment for community inner-city and community
development purposes.  Institutions meeting regulatory capital requirements,
such as the Bank; may invest up to 50% of their regulatory capital in conforming
first mortgage loans to subsidiaries in which they own 10% or more of the
capital stock.

     The Bank's only service corporation is Central Kentucky Savings and Loan
Service Corporation in which its investment was $15,000 at December 31, 1997.
The sole purpose of the service corporation is to purchase and hold the required
amount of stock of Intrieve, Incorporated ("Intrieve"), pursuant to the Bank's
agreement with Savings and Loan Data Corporation, Inc. ("SLDC"), predecessor to
Intrieve, for data processing services.  Central Kentucky Savings and Loan
Service Corporation is otherwise currently inactive.

     The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA") requires Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") insured savings
institutions to give the FDIC and the Director of the OTS 30 days' prior notice
before establishing or acquiring a new subsidiary, or commencing any new
activity through an existing subsidiary.  Both the FDIC and the Director of the
OTS have authority to order termination of subsidiary activities determined to
pose a risk to the safety or soundness of the institution.  In addition, capital
requirements require savings institutions to deduct the amount of their
investments in and extensions of credit to subsidiaries engaged in activities
not permissible to national banks from capital in determining regulatory capital
compliance.  The activities of Central Kentucky Savings and Loan Service
Corporation are not impermissible for national banks.  See "Regulation of the
Bank -- Regulatory Capital Requirements."

EMPLOYEES

     As of December 31, 1997, Central Kentucky Federal had nine full-time
employees, none of whom was represented by a collective bargaining agreement.
Central Kentucky Federal believes that it enjoys good relations with its
personnel.

COMPETITION

     The Bank experiences competition both in attracting and retaining savings
deposits and in the making of mortgage and other loans.  Direct competition for
savings deposits in Boyle County comes from one other savings institution, a
credit union, and three commercial banks.  Significant competition for the
Bank's other deposit products and services comes from money market mutual funds,
brokerage firms and insurance companies.  The primary factors in competing for
loans are interest rates and loan origination fees and the range of services
offered by various financial institutions.  Competition for origination of real
estate loans normally comes from savings banks and commercial banks.

REGULATION OF THE BANK

     GENERAL.  As a savings association, Central Kentucky Federal is subject to
extensive regulation by the OTS.  The lending activities and other investments
of the Bank must comply with various federal regulatory requirements.  The OTS
will periodically examine the Bank for compliance with various regulatory
requirements.  The FDIC also has the authority to conduct examinations of SAIF
members.  The Bank must file reports with OTS describing its activities and
financial condition.  The Bank is also subject to certain reserve requirements
promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board.  This supervision and regulation is
intended primarily for the protection of depositors.  Certain of these
regulatory requirements are referred to below or appear elsewhere herein.

                                       20
<PAGE>
 
     FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM.  The Bank is a member of the FHLB System,
which consists of twelve district Federal Home Loan Banks subject to supervision
and regulation by the Federal Housing Finance Board ("FHFB").  The Federal Home
Loan Banks provide a central credit facility primarily for member institutions.
As a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati, the Bank is required to acquire and hold
shares of capital stock in the FHLB of Cincinnati in an amount at least equal to
1% of the aggregate unpaid principal of its home mortgage loans, home purchase
contracts, and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, or 1/20 of its
advances (borrowings) from the FHLB of Cincinnati, whichever is greater.   The
FHLB of Cincinnati serves as a reserve or central bank for its member
institutions within its assigned district.  It is funded primarily from proceeds
derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System.  It makes
advances to members in accordance with policies and procedures established by
the FHFB and the Board of Directors of the FHLB of Cincinnati.  Long-term
advances may only be made for the purpose of providing funds for residential
housing finance.  See " -- Borrowings."

     LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS.  The Bank generally is required to maintain average
daily balances of liquid assets (generally, cash, certain time deposits,
bankers' acceptances, highly rated corporate debt and commercial paper,
securities of certain mutual funds, and specified United States government,
state or federal agency obligations) equal to 4% of its net withdrawable
accounts plus short-term borrowings either at the end of the preceeding calendar
quarter or on an average daily basis during the preceding quarter.  The Bank
also is required to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure its safe and sound
operation.  Monetary penalties may be imposed for failure to meet liquidity
requirements.  The average daily balance of liquid assets ratio of the Bank for
December 31, 1997 was 9.34%.

     QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER TEST.  A savings association that does not meet the
Qualified Thrift Lender test ("QTL Test") must either convert to a bank charter
or comply with the following restrictions on its operations: (i) the institution
may not engage in any new activity or make any new investment, directly or
indirectly, unless such activity or investment is permissible for a national
bank; (ii) the branching powers of the institution shall be restricted to those
of a national bank; (iii) the institution shall not be eligible to obtain any
advances from its FHLB; and (iv) payment of dividends by the institution shall
be subject to the rules regarding payment of dividends by a national bank.  Upon
the expiration of three years from the date the institution ceases to be a
Qualified Thrift Lender, it must cease any activity, and not retain any
investment not permissible for a national bank and immediately repay any
outstanding FHLB advances (subject to safety and soundness considerations).

     In order to satisfy, the QTL Test, a savings institution must either
satisfy the definition of domestic building and loan institution under the
Internal Revenue Code or its Qualified Thrift Investments must represent at
least 65% of portfolio assets.  Qualified Thrift Investments include investments
in residential mortgages, home equity loans, loans made for educational
purposes, small business loans, credit card loans and mortgage-backed
securities.  Portfolio assets are defined as total assets less intangibles,
property used by a savings institution in its business and liquidity investments
in an amount not exceeding 20% of assets.  A savings institution shall be deemed
a Qualified Thrift Lender as long as its percentage of Qualified Thrift
Investments continues to equal or exceed 65% in at least nine out of each 12
months.  A savings institution that fails to maintain QTL status will be
permitted to requalify once, and if it fails the QTL Test a second time, it will
become immediately subject to all penalties as if all time limits on such
penalties had expired.  At December 31, 1997, the Bank was in compliance with
the QTL Test.

     DIVIDEND LIMITATIONS.  Federal regulations impose additional limitations on
the payment of dividends and other capital distributions (including stock
repurchases and cash mergers) by the Bank.  Under these regulations, a savings
institution that, immediately prior to, and on a pro forma basis after giving
effect to, a proposed capital distribution, has total capital (as defined by OTS
regulation) that is equal to or greater than the amount of its fully phased-in
capital requirements (a "Tier 1 Association") is generally permitted, without
OTS approval after notice, to make capital distributions during a calendar year
in the amount equal to the greater of: (i) 75% of its net income for the
previous four quarters; or (ii) up to 100% of its net income to date during the
calendar year plus an amount that would reduce by one-half the amount by which
its capital-to-assets ratio exceeded regulatory requirements at the beginning

                                       21
<PAGE>
 
of the calendar year.  A savings institution with total capital in excess of
current minimum capital ratio requirements (a "Tier 2 Association") is permitted
after notice to make capital distributions without OTS approval of up to 75% of
its net income for the previous four quarters, less dividends already paid for
such period.  A savings institution that fails to meet current minimum capital
requirements (a "Tier 3 Association") is prohibited from making any capital
distributions without the prior approval of the OTS.  A Tier 1 Association that
has been notified by the OTS that it is in need of more than normal supervision
will be treated as either a Tier 2 or Tier 3 Association. The Bank is a Tier 1
Association.  Under the OTS' prompt corrective action regulations, the Bank is
also prohibited from making any capital distributions if after making the
distribution, the Bank would have: (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of less
than 8.0%; (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4.0%; or (iii) a
leverage ratio of less than 4.0%.  The OTS, after consultation with the FDIC,
however, may permit an otherwise prohibited stock repurchase if made in
connection with the issuance of additional shares in an equivalent amount and
the repurchase will reduce the institution's financial obligations or otherwise
improve the institution's financial condition.  See "-- Prompt Corrective
Regulatory Action."

     The OTS has proposed amendments to its capital distribution regulations
which would conform OTS regulations to the existing requirements of other
banking agencies, as well as simplify the existing OTS regulations.  These
proposed rules  would eliminate the requirement of notifying the OTS when cash
dividends of a certain amount will be paid for institutions that will remain at
least adequately capitalized.  However, applications for capital distributions
will be required for all distributions over a specified amount.  Notices will
still be required for distributions that would "reduce  the amount of or retire
common or preferred stock, or debt instruments included in the capital.

     In addition to the foregoing, earnings of the Bank appropriated to bad debt
reserves and deducted for federal income tax purposes are not available for
payment of cash dividends or other distributions to the Company without payment
of taxes at the then current tax rate by the Bank on the amount of earnings
removed from the reserves for such distributions.  See " -- Taxation."

     REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. Under OTS capital standards, a savings
institution must maintain "tangible" capital equal to 1.5% of adjusted total
assets, "core" capital equal to 3% of adjusted total assets and a combination of
core and "supplementary" capital equal to 8% of "risk-weighted" assets.  In
addition, the OTS regulations impose certain restrictions on savings
institutions that have a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8%, a
ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of less than 4% or a ratio of
Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets of less than 4% (or 3% if the
institution is rated Composite 1 under the OTS examination rating system).  See
"-- Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action."  For purposes of this regulation, Tier
1 capital has the same definition as core capital which is defined as common
stockholders' equity (including retained earnings), noncumulative perpetual
preferred stock and related surplus, minority interests in the equity accounts
of fully consolidated subsidiaries, certain nonwithdrawable accounts and pledged
deposits and "qualifying supervisory goodwill."  Core capital is generally
reduced by the amount of the savings institution's intangible assets for which
no market exists.  Limited exceptions to the deduction of intangible assets are
provided for mortgage servicing rights, purchased credit card relationships and
qualifying supervisory goodwill held by an eligible savings institution.
Tangible capital is given the same definition as core capital but does not
include an exception for qualifying supervisory goodwill and is reduced by the
amount of all the savings institution's intangible assets with only a limited
exception for mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit card relationships.

     Both core and tangible capital are further reduced by an amount equal to a
percentage of the savings institution's debt and equity investments in
subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible for national banks, other
than subsidiaries engaged in activities undertaken as agent for customers or in
mortgage banking activities and subsidiary depository institutions or holding
companies therefor.  At December 31, 1997, the Bank had no such investments.

     Adjusted total assets are a savings institution's total assets as
determined under generally accepted accounting principles, increased for certain
goodwill amounts and by a pro-rated portion of the assets of subsidiaries in
which the savings institution holds a minority interest (and which are not
engaged in activities for which the capital rules require

                                       22
<PAGE>
 
the savings institution to net its debt and equity investments in such
subsidiaries against capital), as well as a pro-rated portion of the assets of
other subsidiaries for which netting is not fully required under phase-in rules.
Adjusted total assets are reduced by the amount of assets that have been
deducted from capital, the portion of savings institution's investments in
subsidiaries that must be netted against capital under the capital rules and,
for purposes of the core capital requirement, qualifying supervisory goodwill.
At December 31, 1997, the Bank's adjusted total assets for purposes of core and
tangible capital requirements were $62.5 million.

     In determining compliance with the risk-based capital requirement, a
savings institution is allowed to include both core capital and supplementary
capital in its total capital, provided the amount of supplementary capital used
does not exceed the savings institution's core capital.  Supplementary capital
is defined to include certain preferred stock issues, nonwithdrawable accounts
and pledged deposits that do not qualify as core capital, certain approved
subordinated debt, certain other capital instruments and a portion of the
savings institution's general loss allowances.

     Total core and supplementary capital are reduced by the amount of capital
instruments held by other depository institutions pursuant to reciprocal
arrangements and by an increasing percentage of the savings institution's high
loan-to-value ratio land loans, non-residential construction loans and equity
investments other than those deducted from core and tangible capital.  As of
December 31, 1997, the Bank had no high ratio land or non-residential
construction loans and no equity investments for which OTS regulations require a
deduction from total capital.

     The risk-based capital requirement is measured against risk-weighted assets
which equal the sum of each asset and the credit-equivalent amount of each off-
balance sheet item after being multiplied by an assigned risk weight.  Under the
OTS risk-weighting system, one-to-four family first mortgages not more than 90
days past due with loan-to-value ratios under 80% and average annual occupancy
rates of at least 80% and certain qualifying loans for the construction of one-
to-four-family residences pre-sold to home purchasers are assigned a risk weight
of 50%.  Consumer and residential construction loans are assigned a risk weight
of 100%.  Mortgage-backed securities issued, or fully guaranteed as to principal
and interest by the FNMA or FHLMC are assigned a 20% risk weight.  Cash and U.S.
Government securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government
(such as mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA) are given a 0% risk weight.

     For information with respect to the Bank's compliance with its regulatory
capital requirements at December 31, 1997, see Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

     The risk-based capital requirements of the OTS also require that savings
institutions with more than a "normal" level of interest rate risk to maintain
additional total capital.  A savings institution's interest rate risk is
measured in terms of the sensitivity of its "net portfolio value" to changes in
interest rates.  Net portfolio value is defined, generally, as the present value
of expected cash inflows from existing assets and off-balance sheet contracts
less the present value of expected cash outflows from existing liabilities.  A
savings institution is considered to have a "normal" level of interest rate risk
exposure if the decline in its net portfolio value after an immediate 200 basis
point increase or decrease in market interest rates (whichever results in the
greater decline) is less than two percent of the current estimated economic
value of its assets.  A savings institution with a greater than normal interest
rate risk will be required to deduct from total capital, for purposes of
calculating its risk-based capital requirement, an amount (the "interest rate
risk component") equal to one-half the difference between the institution's
measured interest rate risk and the normal level of interest rate risk,
multiplied by the economic value of its total assets.

     The OTS calculates the sensitivity of a savings institution's net portfolio
value based on data submitted by the institution in a schedule to its quarterly
Thrift Financial Report and using the interest rate risk measurement model
adopted by the OTS.  The amount of the interest rate risk component, if any, to
be deducted from a savings institution's total capital is based on the
institution's Thrift Financial Report filed two quarters earlier.  Savings
institutions with less than $300 million in assets and a risk-based capital
ratio above 12% are generally exempt from filing the interest rate risk schedule
with their Thrift Financial Reports.  However, the OTS requires any exempt
savings institution that it determines may have a high level of interest rate
risk exposure to file such schedule on a quarterly basis and may be 

                                       23
<PAGE>
 
subject to an additional capital requirement based upon its level of interest
rate risk as compared to its peers. The Bank is exempt from filing the interest
rate risk schedule with its Thrift Financial Reports and the OTS has not
required it to file such a schedule. The interest rate risk rule did not have a
material effect on the Bank's risk based capital at December 31, 1997.

     The table below presents the Bank's capital position at December 31, 1997,
relative to its various minimum regulatory capital requirements.

     tangible and core capital requirements, and risk-weighted assets of $36.2
     million for purposes of the risk-based capital requirements.


          In addition to requiring generally applicable capital standards for
savings institutions, the OTS is authorized to establish the minimum level of
capital for a savings institution at such amount or at such ratio of capital-to-
assets as the OTS determines to be necessary or appropriate for such institution
in light of the particular circumstances of the institution.  Such circumstances
would include a high degree of exposure to interest rate risk, concentration of
credit risk and certain risks arising from non-traditional activity.  The OTS
may treat the failure of any savings institution to maintain capital at or above
such level as an unsafe or unsound practice and may issue a directive requiring
any savings institution which fails to maintain capital at or above the minimum
level required by the OTS to submit and adhere to a plan for increasing capital.
Such an order may be enforced in the same manner as an order issued by the FDIC.

     PROMPT CORRECTIVE REGULATORY ACTION.  Under the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act ("FDICIA"), the federal banking regulators are
required to take prompt corrective action if an insured depository institution
fails to satisfy certain minimum capital requirements.  All institutions,
regardless of their capital levels, are restricted from making any capital
distribution or paying any management fees if the institution would thereafter
fail to satisfy the minimum levels for any of its capital requirements.  An
institution that fails to meet the minimum level for any relevant capital
measure (an "undercapitalized institution") may be: (i) subject to increased
monitoring by the appropriate federal banking regulator; (ii) required to submit
an acceptable capital restoration plan within 45 days; (iii) subject to asset
growth limits; and (iv) required to obtain prior regulatory approval for
acquisitions, branching and new lines of businesses.  The capital restoration
plan must include a guarantee by the institution's holding company that the
institution will comply with the plan until it has been adequately capitalized
on average for four consecutive quarters, under which the holding company would
be liable up to the lesser of 5% of the institution's total assets or the amount
necessary to bring the institution into capital compliance as of the date it
failed to comply with its capital restoration

                                       24

plan. A "significantly undercapitalized" institution, as well as any
undercapitalized institution that did not submit an acceptable capital
restoration plan, may be subject to regulatory demands for recapitalization,
broader application of restrictions on transactions with affiliates, limitations
on interest rates paid on deposits, asset growth and other activities, possible
replacement of directors and officers, and restrictions on capital distributions
by any bank holding company controlling the institution. Any company controlling
the institution could also be required to divest the institution or the
institution could be required to divest subsidiaries. The senior executive
officers of a significantly undercapitalized institution may not receive bonuses
or increases in compensation without prior approval and the institution is
prohibited from making payments of principal or interest on its subordinated
debt. In their discretion, the federal banking regulators may also impose the
foregoing sanctions on an undercapitalized institution if the regulators
determine that such actions are necessary to carry out the purposes of the
prompt corrective action provisions. If an institution's ratio of tangible
capital to total assets falls below a "critical capital level," the institution
will be subject to conservatorship or receivership within 90 days unless
periodic determinations are made that forbearance from such action would better
protect the deposit insurance fund. Unless appropriate findings and
certifications are made by the appropriate federal bank regulatory agencies, a
critically undercapitalized institution must be placed in receivership if it
remains critically undercapitalized on average during the calendar quarter
beginning 270 days after the date it became critically undercapitalized. If a
savings association is in compliance with an approved capital plan on the date
of enactment of FDICIA, however, it will not be required to submit a capital
restoration plan if it is undercapitalized or become subject to the statutory
prompt corrective action provisions applicable to significantly and critically
undercapitalized institutions prior to July 1, 1994.

     Under regulations jointly adopted by the federal banking regulators, a
depository institution's capital adequacy for purposes of the FDICIA prompt
corrective action rules is determined on the basis of the institution's total
risk-based capital ratio (the ratio of its total capital to risk-weighted
assets), Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (the ratio of its core capital to risk-
weighted assets) and leverage ratio (the ratio of its core capital to adjusted
total assets).  Under the regulations, a savings association that is not subject
to an order or written directive to meet or maintain a specific capital level
will be deemed "well capitalized" if it also has: (i) a total risk-based capital
ratio of 10% or greater; (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or
greater; and (iii) a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater.  An "adequately
capitalized" savings association is a savings association that does not meet the
definition of well capitalized and has: (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of
8.0% or greater; (ii) a Tier 1 capital risk-based ratio of 4.0% or greater; and
(iii) a leverage ratio of 4.0% or greater (or 3.0% or greater if the savings
association has a composite 1 CAMEL rating).  An "undercapitalized institution"
is a savings association that has (i) a total risk-based capital ratio less than
8.0%; or (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4.0%; or (iii) a
leverage ratio of less than 4.0% (or 3.0% if the association has a composite 1
CAMEL rating).  A "significantly undercapitalized" institution is defined as a
savings association that has: (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of less than
6.0%; or (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3.0%; or (iii) a
leverage ratio of less than 3.0%.  A "critically undercapitalized" savings
association  is defined as a savings association that has a ratio of "tangible
equity" to total assets of less than 2.0%.  Tangible equity is defined as core
capital plus cumulative perpetual preferred stock (and related surplus) less all
intangibles other than qualifying supervisory goodwill and certain purchased
mortgage servicing rights.  The OTS may reclassify a well capitalized savings
association as adequately capitalized and may require an adequately capitalized
or undercapitalized association to comply with the supervisory actions
applicable to associations in the next lower capital category if the OTS
determines, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, that the savings
association is in an unsafe or unsound condition or that the association has
received and not corrected a less-than-satisfactory rating for any CAMEL rating
category.  The Bank is classified as "well-capitalized" under the new
regulations.

     DEPOSIT INSURANCE.  The Bank is required to pay assessments based on a
percent of its insured deposits to the FDIC for insurance of its deposits by the
SAIF.  Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the FDIC is required to set
semi-annual assessments for SAIF-insured institutions to maintain the designated
reserve ratio of the SAIF at 1.25% of estimated insured deposits or at a higher
percentage of estimated insured deposits that the FDIC determines to be
justified for that year by circumstances raising a significant risk of
substantial future losses to the SAIF.

     The assessment rate for an insured depository institution is determined by
the assessment risk classification assigned to the institution by the FDIC based
on the institution's capital level and supervisory evaluations.  Based on the
data reported to regulators for date closest to the last day of the seventh
month preceding the semi-annual assessment period, institutions are assigned to
one of three capital groups -- well capitalized, adequately capitalized or
undercapitalized -- using the same percentage criteria as in the prompt
corrective action regulations.  See "-- Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action."
Within each capital group, institutions are assigned to one of three subgroups
on the basis of supervisory evaluations by the institution's primary supervisory
authority and such other information as the FDIC determines to be relevant to
the institution's financial condition and the risk posed to the deposit
insurance fund.

     The FDIC has adopted a new assessment schedule for SAIF deposit insurance
pursuant to which the assessment rate for well-capitalized institutions with the
highest supervisory ratings would be reduced to zero and institutions in the
highest risk assessment classification will be assessed at the rate of .027% of
insured deposits.  Until December 31, 1999, however, all SAIF-insured
institutions, will be required to pay assessments to the FDIC at the rate of 6.5
basis points to help fund interest payments on certain bonds issued by the
Financing Corporation ("FICO") an agency of the federal government established
will be to finance takeovers of insolvent thrifts. During this period, BIF
members will be

                                       26
<PAGE>
 
assessed for these obligations at the rate of 1.3 basis points. After December
31, 1999, both BIF and SAIF members will be assessed at the same rate for FICO
payments.

     FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM.  Pursuant to regulations of the Federal Reserve
Board, all FDIC-insured depository institutions must maintain average daily
reserves against their transaction accounts.  No reserves are required on the
first $4.7 million of transaction accounts maintained; reserves of 3% are
required on the next $47.8 million of transaction accounts and a reserve of 10%
must be maintained against all remaining transaction accounts.  These reserve
requirements are subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve Board.  Because
required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or in a non-
interest bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of the reserve
requirement is to reduce the amount of the institution's interest-earning
assets.

     TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.  Transactions between savings institutions
and any affiliate are governed by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve
Act.  An affiliate of a savings institution is any company or entity which
controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the savings
institution.  In a holding company context, the parent holding company of a
savings institution (such as the Company) and any companies which are controlled
by such parent holding company are affiliates of the savings institution.
Generally, Sections 23A and 23B (i) limit the extent to which the savings
institution or its subsidiaries may engage in "covered transactions" with any
one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such institution's capital stock and
surplus, and contain an aggregate limit on all such transactions with all
affiliates to an amount equal to 20% of such capital stock and surplus, and (ii)
require that all such transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at
least as favorable, to the institution or subsidiary as those provided to a non-
affiliate.  The term "covered transaction" includes the making of loans,
purchase of assets, issuance of a guarantee and similar other types of
transactions.  In addition to the restrictions imposed by Sections 23A and 23B,
no savings institution may (i) loan or otherwise extend credit to an affiliate,
except for any affiliate which engages only in activities which are permissible
for bank holding companies, or (ii) purchase or invest in any stocks, bonds,
debentures, notes or similar obligations of any affiliate, except for affiliates
which are subsidiaries of the savings institution.  Section 106 of the BHCA
which also applies to the Bank prohibits the Bank from extending credit to or
offering any other services, or fixing or varying the consideration for such
extension of credit or service, on the condition that the customer obtain some
additional service from the institution or certain of its affiliates or not
obtain services of a competitor of the institution, subject to certain
exceptions.

     LOANS TO DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS.  Savings
institutions are also subject to the restrictions contained in Section 22(h) of
the Federal Reserve Act on loans to executive officers, directors and principal
stockholders.  Under Section 22(h), loans to an executive officer and to a
greater than 10% stockholder of a savings institution, and certain affiliated
entities of either, may not exceed, together with all other outstanding loans to
such person and affiliated entities the institution's loan to one borrower limit
(generally equal to 15% of the institution's unimpaired capital and surplus and
an additional 10% of such capital and surplus for loans fully secured by certain
readily marketable collateral).  Section 22(h) also prohibits loans, above
amounts prescribed by the appropriate federal banking agency, to directors,
executive officers and greater than 10% stockholders of a savings institution,
and their respective affiliates, unless such loan is approved in advance by a
majority of the board of directors of the institution with any "interested"
director not participating in the voting.  The Federal Reserve Board has
prescribed the loan amount (which includes all other outstanding loans to such
person), as to which such prior board of director approval is required, as being
the greater of $25,000 or 5% of capital and surplus (up to $500,000).  Further,
the Federal Reserve Board pursuant to Section 22(h) requires that loans to
directors, executive officers and principal stockholders be made on terms
substantially the same as offered in comparable transactions to other persons.
Section 22(h) also generally prohibits a depository institution from paying the
overdrafts of any of its executive officers or directors.  Section 22(g) of the
Federal Reserve Act requires that loans to executive officers of depository
institutions not be made on terms more favorable than those afforded to other
borrowers, requires approval for such extensions of credit by the board of
directors of the institution, and imposes reporting requirements for and
additional restrictions on the type, amount and terms of credits to such
officers.   In addition, Section 106 of the BHCA prohibits extensions of credit
to executive officers, directors, and greater than 10% stockholders of a
depository institution by any other institution which has a correspondent
banking relationship with the institution, unless such extension of credit is on
substantially the same terms

                                       27

 as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons
and does not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other
unfavorable features.

     ALTERATION OF FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY.  On May 21, 1997, the Clinton
Administration announced a plan to modernize the financial services industry.
The proposal, among other things, addresses the ongoing debate concerning mixing
banking and commerce, elimination of the savings association charter and the
merger of the SAIF and BIF.  Under the proposal, companies that own banks (bank
holding companies) and meet certain qualifications would -- subject to certain
safeguards -- be permitted to engage in any financial activity, including the
full range of securities activities, insurance activities, investment advisory
activities and mutual fund sponsorship and merchant banking.  Likewise,
financial companies could own banks.

     Regarding financial activities of insured depository institutions and their
subsidiaries, the proposal provides that national banks (and state banks to the
extent permitted by state law) would be authorized, subject to certain
safeguards, to conduct any financial activity through subsidiaries (except that
national bank subsidiaries would not be authorized to engage in real estate
development).  National banks would be permitted to engage in the full scope of
activities that have previously been permissible for national banks or federally
chartered savings associations (except engaging in the real estate development).
Moreover, national banks (and state banks to the extent permitted by state law)
would be permitted to act as general agents for the sale of insurance, but would
be prohibited from engaging directly in insurance underwriting other than what
is currently permissible (for instance, credit-related insurance).
Additionally, national banks (and state banks to the extent permitted by state
law) would be permitted to underwrite and deal in municipal revenue bonds in
addition to other securities activities currently permissible in the bank.

     The Clinton Administration's proposal also addressed affiliations between
banking organizations and non-financial companies.  The proposal recommended two
alternative approaches -- the "basket" approach and the "financial-only"
approach.  Under the basket approach, bank holding companies that derive some
significant percentage (as specified by the U.S. Congress) of their gross
revenues in the U.S. from financial activities could derive the remainder of
their revenues from non-financial activities.  In addition to the basket
limitation, the proposal suggested prohibiting any affiliation between a bank
holding company and a non-financial firm having assets in excess of a specified
amount (calculated to be approximately the 1,000 largest non-financial
companies).  Moreover, banks would be prohibited from extending any credit to,
or for the benefit of, any non-financial affiliate.

     Under the basket approach, the federal savings association charter would be
eliminated after two years (thereby requiring all federal thrifts to convert to
bank charters), and existing unitary thrift holding companies (which presently
have no activity restrictions) would be given a grandfather exemption from the
"basket" test (terminable upon a change of control).  All remaining state-
chartered thrifts would be treated as banks for federal bank regulatory
purposes.  The OTS and the OCC would be merged at the end of the two-year-
conversion period and the SAIF and BIF would be merged.  The Federal Reserve
Board, however, would continue to approve the formation of, and to supervise and
regulate all bank holding companies.

     Under the financial-only approach, bank holding companies would not be
permitted to engage in any non-financial activities.  But the existing federal
savings association charter would be preserved, and thrift holding companies
would retain their current authority to engage in any lawful activity.
Furthermore, the OTS and OCC would be kept in tact, but the SAIF and BIF would
be merged.

     The Administration's proposal also sets forth capital protections and other
safeguards associated with the new activities contemplated for banks.  In order
for a bank holding company or a subsidiary of a bank to engage as a principal in
activities not permissible for a national bank to engage in directly, the bank
would have to remain "well capitalized" -- that is, to be in the highest
regulatory capital category, with regulatory capital exceeding normal
requirements -- and it would have to deduct from its regulatory capital the
entire amount of its equity investment in a subsidiary engaged in such
activities.  The Bank also would have to be well-managed.

                                       28
<PAGE>
 
     On June 20, 1997, the House Committee on Banking and Financial Services of
the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 10 (the "Act"), the "Financial
Services Competition Act of 1997," by a vote of 28 to 26.  Like the proposal
announced by the Clinton Administration on May 2, 1997, H.R. 10 is a sweeping
proposal for financial modernization of the banking system that would permit
affiliations between commercial banks, securities firms, insurance companies
and, subject to certain limitations, other commercial enterprises.  The stated
purposes of the Act are to enhance consumer choice in the financial services
marketplace, level the playing field among providers of financial services and
increase competition.

     H.R. 10 removes the restrictions contained in the Glass-Steagall Act of
1933 and the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, thereby allowing qualified
financial holding companies to control banks, securities firms, insurance
companies, and other financial firms.  Conversely, securities firms, insurance
companies and financial firms would be allowed to own or affiliate with a
commercial bank.  The Act also provides that subsidiaries of national banks may
engage in financial activities not allowed in the bank itself (except real
estate investment and development, merchant banking and insurance underwriting),
but only if the bank and all of its depository institutions are well capitalized
and well managed and have achieved a "satisfactory" rating under the Community
Reinvestment Act.

     Under the new framework, the Federal Reserve would serve as an umbrella
regulator to oversee the new financial holding company structure.  Securities
affiliated would be required to comply with all applicable federal securities
laws, including registration and other requirements applicable to broker-
dealers.  The Act also would provide that insurance affiliates be subject to
applicable state insurance regulations and supervision.

     With respect to the thrift industry, H.R. 10 would eliminate the federal
savings association charter by requiring all federal thrifts to convert to
national banks, state-chartered savings associations or state-chartered banks
within two years after the date of the Act's adoption.  State-chartered savings
associations would be treated as commercial banks for purposes of federal
banking law.  After conversion, the new institution would be permitted to retain
its existing investments, affiliations and branches.  In addition, the Act would
merge the OTS with the OCC, and merge the SAIF and BIF.  Unitary savings and
loan holding companies could maintain their affiliations with nonfinancial
enterprises and engage in all currently permissible activities.

     The U.S. Congress has been considering the Administration's proposal, as
well as proposals offered by others, in recent months.  H.R. 10, specifically,
is being considered by the Commerce Committee of the House of Representatives,
but a vote on the bill has been indefinitely postponed.  It is unknown whether
legislation will be enacted that alters the financial services industry, or if
enacted, what form such legislation might take.

REGULATION OF THE COMPANY

     GENERAL.  The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company within
the meaning of the Home Owners' Loan Act.  As such, the Company is registered
with the OTS and subject to OTS regulations, examinations, supervision and
reporting requirements.

     ACTIVITIES RESTRICTIONS.  The Board of Directors of the Company presently
intends to operate the Company as a unitary savings and loan holding company.
There are generally no restrictions on the activities of a unitary savings and
loan holding company.  However, if the director of OTS determines that there is
reasonable cause to believe that the continuation by a savings and loan holding
company of an activity constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety,
soundness, or stability of its subsidiary savings association, the Director of
OTS may impose such restrictions as deemed necessary to address such risk and
limiting (i) payment of dividends by the savings association, (ii) transactions
between the savings association and its affiliates, and (iii) any activities of
the savings association that might create a serious risk that the liabilities of
the holding company and its affiliates may be imposed on the savings
association.  Notwithstanding the above rules as to permissible business
activities of unitary savings and loan holding companies, if the savings
association subsidiary of such a holding company fails to meet the QTL Test,
then such unitary holding company shall also presently become subject to the
activities restrictions applicable to multiple holding companies and unless the

                                       29
<PAGE>
 
savings association requalifies as a Qualified Thrift Lender within one year
thereafter, register as, and become subject to, the restrictions applicable to a
bank holding company.

     If the Company were to acquire control of another savings association,
other than through merger or other business combination with the Bank, the
Company would thereupon become a multiple savings and loan holding company.
Except where such acquisition is pursuant to the authority to approve emergency
thrift acquisitions and where each subsidiary savings association meets the QTL
Test, the activities of the Company and any of its subsidiaries (other than the
Bank or other subsidiary savings institutions) would thereafter be subject to
further restrictions.  The Home Owners' Loan Act, as amended by FIRREA, provides
that, among other things, no multiple savings and loan holding company or
subsidiary thereof which is not a savings association shall commence or continue
for a limited period of time after becoming a multiple savings and loan holding
company or subsidiary thereof, any business activity, upon prior notice to, and
no objection by the OTS, other than (i) furnishing or performing management
services for a subsidiary savings association, (ii) conducting an insurance
agency or escrow business, (iii) holding, managing, or liquidating assets owned
by or acquired from a subsidiary savings institution, (iv) holding or managing
properties used or occupied by a subsidiary savings institution, (v) acting as
trustee under deeds of trust, (vi) those activities previously directly
authorized by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation ("FSLIC") by
regulation as of March 5, 1987 to be engaged in by multiple holding companies or
(vii) those activities authorized by the Federal Reserve Board as permissible
for bank holding companies, unless the Director of OTS by regulation prohibits
or limits such activities for savings and loan holding companies.  Those
activities described in (vii) above must also be approved by the Director of OTS
prior to being engaged in by a multiple holding company.

     RESTRICTIONS ON ACQUISITIONS.  Savings and loan holding companies are
prohibited from acquiring, without prior approval of the Director of OTS, (i)
control of any other savings association or savings and loan holding company or
substantially all the assets thereof or (ii) more than 5% of the voting shares
of a savings association or holding company thereof which is not a subsidiary.
Under certain circumstances, a registered savings and loan holding company is
permitted to acquire, with the approval of the Director of OTS, up to 15% of the
voting shares of an under-capitalized savings association pursuant to a
"qualified stock issuance" without that savings association being deemed
controlled by the holding company.  In order for the shares acquired to
constitute a "qualified stock issuance," the shares must consist of previously
unissued stock or treasury shares, the shares must be acquired for cash, the
savings and loan holding company's other subsidiaries must have tangible capital
of at least 6-1/2% of total assets, there must not be more than one common
director or officer between the savings and loan holding company and the issuing
savings association and transactions between the savings association and the
savings and loan holding company and any of its affiliates must conform to
Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act.  Except with the prior approval
of the Director of OTS, no director or officer of a savings and loan holding
company or person owning or controlling by proxy or otherwise more than 25% of
such company's stock, may also acquire control of any savings association, other
than a subsidiary savings association, or of any other savings and loan holding
company.

     The Director of OTS may only approve acquisitions resulting in the
formation of a multiple savings and loan holding company which controls savings
associations in more than one state if:  (i) the multiple savings and loan
holding company involved controls a savings institution which operated a home or
branch office in the state of the association to be acquired as of March 5,
1987; (ii) the acquiror is authorized to acquire control of the savings
association pursuant to the emergency acquisition provisions of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act; or (iii) the statutes of the state in which the
association to be acquired is located specifically permit institutions to be
acquired by state-chartered associations or savings and loan holding companies
located in the state where the acquiring entity is located (or by a holding
company that controls such state-chartered savings institutions).

     OTS regulations permit federal associations to branch in any state or
states of the United States and its territories.  Except in supervisory cases or
when interstate branching is otherwise permitted by state law or other statutory
provision, a federal association may not establish an out-of-state branch unless
(i) the federal association qualifies as a "domestic building and loan
association" under (S)7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") and the total assets attributable to all branches of the
association in the state would qualify such

                                       30
<PAGE>
 
branches taken as a whole for treatment as a domestic building and loan
association and (ii) such branch would not result in (a) formation of a
prohibited multi-state multiple savings and loan holding company or (b) a
violation of certain statutory restrictions on branching by savings association
subsidiaries of banking holding companies.  Federal associations generally may
not establish new branches unless the association meets or exceeds minimum
regulatory capital requirements.  The OTS will also consider the association's
record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 in connection
with any branch application.

     The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 authorizes the Federal Reserve Board
to approve an application by a bank holding company to acquire control of any
savings association.  Pursuant to rules promulgated by the Federal Reserve
Board, owning, controlling or operating a savings association is a permissible
activity for bank holding companies if the savings association engages only in
deposit-taking activities and lending and other activities that are permissible
for bank holding companies.  In approving such an application, the Federal
Reserve Board may not impose any restriction on transactions between the savings
association and its holding company affiliates except as required by Sections
23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act.

     A bank holding company that controls a savings association may merge or
consolidate the assets and liabilities of the savings association with, or
transfer assets and liabilities to, any subsidiary bank which is a member of the
BIF with the approval of the appropriate federal banking agency and the Federal
Reserve Board.  The resulting bank will be required to continue to pay
assessments to the SAIF at the rates prescribed for SAIF members on the deposits
attributable to the merged savings association plus an annual deposit growth
increment.  In addition, the transaction must comply with the restrictions on
interstate acquisitions of commercial banks under the Bank Holding Company Act
of 1956.

TAXATION

     GENERAL.  The Company and the Bank file a consolidated tax return for
federal income tax purposes, based on a fiscal year ending December 31.
Consolidated returns have the effect of eliminating intercompany distributions,
including dividends, from the computation of consolidated taxable income for the
taxable year in which the distributions occur.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION.  Thrift institutions are subject to the provisions
of the Code in the same general manner as other corporations.  However, for tax
years prior to December 31, 1996, institutions such as Central Kentucky Federal
which meet certain definitional tests and other conditions prescribed by the
Code may benefit from certain favorable provisions regarding their deductions
from taxable income for annual additions to their bad debt reserve.  For
purposes of the bad debt reserve deduction, loans were separated into
"qualifying real property loans," which generally are loans secured by interests
in certain real property, and nonqualifying loans, which are all other loans.
The bad debt reserve deduction with respect to nonqualifying loans must be based
on actual loss experience.  The amount of the bad debt reserve deduction with
respect to qualifying real property loans may be based upon actual loss
experience (the "experience method") or a percentage of taxable income
determined without regard to such deduction (the "percentage of taxable income
method").

     Earnings appropriated to an institution's bad debt reserve and claimed as a
tax deduction are not available for the payment of cash dividends or for
distribution to shareholders (including distributions made on dissolution or
liquidation), unless such amount is included in taxable income, along with the
amount deemed necessary to pay the resulting federal income tax.

     On August 20, 1996, the President signed into law the Small Business Jobs
Protection Act.  Included within this act were provisions repealing the
percentage of taxable income method of calculating a thrift's bad debt reserve
for tax purposes.  This method had permitted thrift institutions, such as the
Bank, who satisfied certain definitional tests and other conditions prescribed
by the Internal Revenue Code, to deduct an annual addition to their bad debt
reserve calculated as a percentage of taxable income.  Other financial
institutions generally were required to calculate their bad

                                       31
<PAGE>
 
debt deduction based upon actual loss experience (the "experience method").  As
a result of the elimination of the percentage of taxable income method,
institutions that have utilized such method are required to recapture into
taxable income post-1987 reserves in excess of the reserves calculated under the
experience method, over period of six years commencing in the first taxable year
beginning after December 31, 1995.  An institution will be able to defer
recapture until up to the third taxable year after December 31, 1995 if the
dollar amount of the institution's residential loan originations in each year is
not less than the average dollar amount of residential loan originations
originated in each of the six most recent years disregarding the years with the
highest and lowest originations during such period.  For purposes of this test,
residential loan originations would not include refinancings and home equity
loans.

     Beginning with the first taxable year beginning after December 31, 1995
(fiscal 1996 for the Bank), savings institutions, such as the Bank, have been
treated the same as commercial banks.  Institutions with $500 million or more in
assets will only be able to take a tax deduction when a loan is actually charged
off.  Institutions with less than $500 million in assets will still be permitted
to make deductible bad debt additions to reserves, but only using the experience
method.  The Bank has provided deferred taxes on its post-1987 additions to the
bad debt reserve and, as a result, the recapture of the Bank's post-1987
reserves did not have a material adverse effect on the Bank's operations.

     Accumulated tax bad debt reserves prior to January 1, 1988 were not
required to be recaptured.  These tax bad debt reserves for the Bank total
approximately $1.5 million and are subject to being taxed at a later date under
certain circumstances such as the Bank converting to a type of institution that
is not considered a bank for tax purposes.  See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

     The Company's and the Bank's corporate federal income tax returns have not
been audited in the last five years.

     STATE INCOME TAXATION.  The Commonwealth of Kentucky imposes no income or
franchise taxes on savings institutions.  Central Kentucky Federal is subject to
an annual Kentucky ad valorem tax.  This tax is 0.1% of the Bank's savings
accounts, common stock, capital and retained income with certain deductions
allowed for amounts borrowed by depositors and for securities guaranteed by the
U.S. Government or certain of its agencies.  For the fiscal year ended December
31, 1997, the amount of such expense for the Bank was $53,000.

1997 ANNUAL REPORT

                               CKF BANCORP, INC.
<PAGE>
 
CKF BANCORP, INC.
================================================================================
CKF Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), was organized by
Central Kentucky Federal Savings Bank, formerly Central Kentucky Federal Savings
and Loan Association ("Central Kentucky Federal" or the "Bank") to be a savings
institution holding company whose only subsidiaries are the Bank and its
subsidiary. On December 29, 1994, the Bank converted from mutual to stock form
as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In conjunction with the conversion,

================================================================================


To Our Stockholders,

We are pleased to report the results of the CKF Bancorp, Inc.'s operations for
1997, our third full year as a public company.

The consolidated net income for 1997 was $1,116,881 or $1.33 per weighted
average common share outstanding for the year or $1.29 per weighted average
common share - assuming dilution. This compares to consolidated net income in
1996 of $760,258 or $.85 per weighted average common share, or $.83 per weighted
average common share - assuming dilution.

For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company and Bank, on a consolidated
basis, had $4.6 million in interest income, $2.3 million in interest expense,
and $2.3 million in net interest income. Non-interest income increased to
$484,423 in 1997, compared to $334,275 in 1996, due primarily to an increase in
the gain on sale of investments. Non-interest expenses decreased to $1,025,351
in 1997 compared to $1,333,607 in 1996, due primarily to a $351,070 decrease in
the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) premium. The income tax expense in
1997 was $575,361 compared to $408,586 in 1996.

Total assets at December 31, 1997 were $62.9 million compared to $60.0 million
at December 31, 1996. Deposits were $43.3 million at December 31, 1997, compared
to $42.8 million at December 31, 1996. Stockholders' equity was $13.8 million at
December 31, 1997, compared to $15.1 million at December 31, 1996. During 1997,
$1.2 million of equity was used for stock repurchases and $1.3 million was paid
in regular and special dividends. Stockholders' equity represented 21.9% of
assets at December 31, 1997, as compared to 25.2% of assets at December 31,
1996. On December 31, 1997, stockholders equity was $17.11 per common share, as
compared to $17.60 per common share on December 31, 1996, which is based on the
common shares outstanding on those respective dates of 804,096 and 857,941.

In the fourth quarter of 1997, Central Kentucky Federal Savings Bank added two
new services for our customers, Direct Teller, and a Home Page on the Internet.

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

GENERAL

The primary business of the Company is the operation of the Bank. The assets of
the Company consist primarily of all of the Bank's outstanding capital stock,
and a note receivable from the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP").

Historically, the Bank has functioned as a financial intermediary, attracting
deposits from the general public and using such deposits, to make mortgage loans
and, to a lesser extent, consumer loans and to purchase investment securities.
As such, its earnings have depended primarily on its net interest income, or
"spread", which is the difference between the amount it receives from interest
earned on loans and investments ("interest-earning assets") and the amount it
pays in interest on its deposits ("interest-bearing liabilities"). Results of
operations are also dependent upon the level of the Bank's non-interest income,
including fee income and service charges and by the level of its non-interest
expenses, the most significant component of which is salaries and employee
benefits.

The operations of the Bank are significantly affected by prevailing economic
conditions and the monetary, fiscal and regulatory policies of governmental
agencies. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of
housing, competition among lenders, the level of interest rates and the
availability of funds. Deposit flows and costs of funds are likewise heavily
influenced by prevailing market rates of interest on competing investment
alternatives, account maturities and the levels of personal income and savings
in the Bank's market areas.

The Bank was organized as a Kentucky building and loan association in 1886. In
1969, it converted to a federally-chartered, mutually-owned savings and loan
association and, in 1994, it converted to a federally-chartered stock savings
bank and adopted its current name. The Bank's interest-earning assets have
historically concentrated in real estate-collateralized instruments, principally
one- to four-family loans and, to a lesser extent, loans secured by multi-family
residential and commercial properties, construction loans, home equity lines of
credit, second mortgages on single-family residences and consumer loans, both
secured and unsecured, including loans secured by savings accounts. The Bank
also invests in investment securities, primarily U.S. Government Treasury and
agency securities and in interest-bearing deposits, primarily with the FHLB of
Cincinnati. Its source of funding for these investments has principally been
deposits placed with the Bank by consumers in the market areas it serves.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Net interest income, the primary component of Bank's net income, is determined
by the difference or "spread" between the yield earned on the Bank's interest-
earning assets and the rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities and the
relative amounts of such assets and liabilities. Key components of a successful
asset/liability strategy are the monitoring and managing of interest rate
sensitivity of both the interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability
portfolios. The Bank has employed various strategies intended to minimize the
adverse effect of interest rate risk on future operations by providing a better
match between the interest rate sensitivity between its assets and liabilities.
In particular, the Bank's strategies are intended to stabilize net interest
income for the long-term by protecting its interest rate spread against
increases in interest rates. Such strategies

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
include the origination for portfolio of adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured
by one- to four-family residential real estate, and, to a lesser extent, multi-
family and commercial real estate loans and the origination of other loans with
greater interest rate sensitivities than long-term, fixed-rate residential
mortgage loans. For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Bank originated
approximately $8.2 million of one- to four-family residential loans, of which
$7.7 million were adjustable rate loans. The Bank's origination of multi-family
and commercial loans amounted to approximately $1.5 million or 15.4% of total
loan originations during the same period. Although customers typically prefer
fixed-rate mortgage loans in a decreasing interest rate environment, the Bank
has been successful in originating adjustable-rate loans in recent years. In
addition, the Bank has used excess funds to invest in various short-term
investments as well as U.S. Government Treasury and agency securities with one
to five year maturities. At December 31, 1997, the Bank had approximately $5.8
million of funds so invested, including $552,000 in capital stock of the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and $2.2 million in U.S. government and agency
securities with an average yield of 5.19%.

Asset/liability management in the form of structuring cash instruments provides
greater flexibility to adjust exposure to interest rates. During periods of high
interest rates, management believes it is prudent to offer competitive rates on
short-term deposits and less competitive rates for long-term liabilities. This
posture allows the Bank to benefit quickly from declines in interest rates.
Likewise, offering more competitive rates on long-term deposits during the low
interest rate periods allows the Bank to extend the repricing and/or maturity of
its liabilities thus reducing its exposure to rising interest rates. At December
31, 1997, the Bank's interest-bearing deposit base was comprised of $8.7 million
in interest-bearing demand deposits with an average rate of 3.3% and $34.6
million in time deposits with an average rate of 5.6%. Time deposits with
maturities of one year or less at December 31, 1997 totaled $22.1 million, or
64% of total time deposits at such date. In addition to its focus on the
repricing period of its deposit liabilities, management also seeks to lengthen
the repricing period of its interest-bearing liabilities through borrowings from
the FHLB. Such borrowings totaled $5.2 million at December 31, 1997, with
monthly principal and interest payments due through the year 2002.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

The Bank's future financial performance depends to a large extent on how
successful it is in limiting the sensitivity of earnings and net asset value to
changes in interest rates. Such sensitivity may be analyzed by examining the
amount by which the market value of the Bank's portfolio equity changes given an
immediate and sustained change in interest rates. Based on financial information
provided by savings institutions, the OTS provides a quarterly report which
shows the amounts by which the net present value of an institution's cash flows
from assets, liabilities, and off balance sheet items (the institution's net
portfolio value, or "NPV") would change in the event of a range of assumed
changes in market interest rates. The OTS incorporates an interest rate risk
("IRR") component in determining the risk-based capital requirement of certain
savings institutions. The IRR component is a dollar amount that will be deducted
from total capital for the purpose of calculating an institution's risk-based
capital requirement and is measured in terms of the sensitivity of its NPV to
changes in interest rates. An institution's IRR is measured as the change to its
NPV as a result of a hypothetical 200 basis point change in market interest
rates. A resulting change in NPV of more than 2% of the estimated market value
of its assets will require the institution to deduct from its capital 50% of
that excess change.

The following table sets forth the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank's net
portfolio value as of December 31, 1997 in the event of 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4%
instantaneous and permanent increases and decreases in market

interest rates, respectively. These changes are set forth below as basis points,
where 100 basis points equals one percentage point.

     Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes
are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest
rates, loan prepayments, and deposit run-offs, and should not be relied upon as
indicative of actual results.  Further, the computations do not contemplate any
actions the Bank may undertake in response to changes in interest rates.

     Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in
the computation of NPV. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may
have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in differing
degrees to changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on certain types
of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest
rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market
rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate loans, which
represent the Bank's primary loan product, have features which restrict changes
in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. In
addition, the proportion of adjustable rate loans in the Bank's portfolios could
decrease in future periods if market interest rates remain at or decrease below
current levels due to refinance activity. Further, in the event of a change in
interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate
significantly from those assumed in the tables. Finally, the ability of many
borrowers to service their adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the event of an
interest rate increase.

AVERAGE BALANCES, INTEREST AND AVERAGE YIELDS

Net interest income is affected by (i) the difference ("interest rate spread")
between rates of interest earned on interest-earning assets and rates of
interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities and (ii) the relative amounts of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. When interest-earning
assets approximate or exceed interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest
rate spread will generate net interest income. Savings institutions have
traditionally used interest rate spreads as a measure of net interest income.
Another indication of an institution's net interest income is its "net yield on
interest-earning assets" which is net interest income divided by average
interest-earning assets. The following table sets forth certain information
relating to the Bank's average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of
liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by
dividing income or expense by the average monthly balance of assets or
liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. During the periods
indicated, nonaccruing loans are included in the net loan category. Average
balances are derived from month-end average balances. Management does not
believe that the use of month-end average balances instead of average daily
balances has caused any material difference in the information presented.

The net interest margin is a key indicator used in determining the Bank's income
performance. The Bank's net interest margin was 3.78% for the year ended
December 31, 1997 compared to 3.77% and 3.95% for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively. The net interest income increased by $76,000 during
the year ended December 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996, and
increased by $17,000 in 1996 compared to 1995.

The increase in net interest income of $76,000 between 1997 and 1996 was due to
the increase in the volume of average net interest-earning assets of
approximately $2.0 million in 1997 compared to 1996 and the average interest
yield on interest earning assets increasing at a greater rate than the average
interest rates paid on deposits.

The increase in net interest income of $17,000 between 1996 and 1995 was due to
the increase in the volume of average net interest-earning assets of
approximately $3.0 million in 1996 compared to 1995 offset by the average
interest rates paid on deposits increasing at a greater rate than the average
interest yield on interest earning assets.

RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS

The table below sets forth certain information regarding changes in interest
income and interest expense of the Bank for the periods indicated. For each
category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability, information
is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (changes in volume
multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by
old volume); (iii) changes in rate-volume (changes in rate multiplied by the
change in average volume). Average balances are derived from month-end balances.
Management does not believe that the use of month-end balances instead of
average daily balances has caused any material difference in the information
presented.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AS OF AND FOR THE
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996

FINANCIAL CONDITION.

The Company's consolidated assets increased $2.9 million or 4.77% to $62.9
million at December 31, 1997 compared to $60.0 million at December 31, 1996. The
net increase of $2.9 million was primarily due to an increase of $1.1 million in
cash and interest bearing deposits, an increase of $2.7 million in loans
receivable offset by decreases of $739,000 in the investment portfolio and
$227,000 in foreclosed real estate.

The Company's investment portfolio decreased $739,000. Securities classified as
available-for-sale per SFAS No. 115 decreased $176,000 due to the sale of 13,200
shares of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation stock, which had a carrying
value of $359,000, offset by an increase of $183,000 in the market value of the
remaining securities. Securities held-to-maturity decreased $563,000 due to the
purchase of a maturing FHLB bond.

Loans receivable increased $2.7 million or 5.1% to $55.9 million at December 31,
1997 from $53.2 million at December 31, 1996.  The increase in loans during the
year ended December 31, 1997 is the result of management becoming more active in
loan solicitation, a continuation of the policy initiated in March of 1994,
whereby the Bank offers more flexible options regarding the initial rate
adjustment period on adjustable rate loans, plus a stable interest rate
environment in 1997.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $125,000 and $107,000, respectively at
December 31, 1997 and 1996.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
non-performing loans was 42.80% and 23.99% as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.  During these periods there were no loans charged off or
recoveries of previous loan losses.  The determination of the allowance for loan
losses is based on management's analysis, done no less than on a quarterly
basis, of various factors, including market value of the underlying collateral,
growth and composition of the loan portfolio, the relationship of the allowance
for loan losses to outstanding loans, historical loss experience, delinquency
trends and prevailing economic conditions.  Although management believes its
allowance for loan losses is in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and reflects current regulatory and economic considerations, there
can be no assurance that additional losses will not be incurred, or that the
Bank's regulators or changes in the Bank's economic environment will not require
further increases in the allowance.

In 1997, the Bank sold the property classified as foreclosed real estate,
resulting in a loss of $78,000. The Bank had established an allowance for loss
on this property of $36,000 at December 31, 1996, resulting in an additional
loss of $42,000 being recognized for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Deposits increased $420,000 million or 1.0% from 42.8 million at December 31
1996 to $43.2 million at December 31, 1997. The increase in deposits reflects
management's continued success in attracting depositors within the local market
area.

Stockholders' equity decreased by $1.3 million to $13.8 million at December 31,
1997 as compared to $15.1 million at December 31, 1996. During 1997, the Company
repurchased 63,975 shares of its common stock at a cost of $1.2 million, and
these shares of common stock were transferred into the 1995 Stock Option Trust.
Other changes to stockholders' equity from 1996 to 1997 resulted from an
increase of $1.1 million in net income, an increase of $103,000 due to the
release of ESOP shares from collateral, offset by decreases of $1.3 million from
the payments of dividends and a $108,000 decrease in the net unrealized gain on
securities available-for-sale.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INCOME.   Net income increased by $357,000 or 46.9% to $1.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to $760,000 for the same period in
1996. The net increase was due to a $76,000 increase in net interest income, a
$150,000 increase in non-interest income and a $308,000 decrease in non-interest
expenses offset by an increase of $11,000 in the provision for loan losses and
an increase of $166,000 in income taxes for 1997 compared to 1996.

INTEREST INCOME.   Interest income was $4.6 million, or 7.69% of average
interest-earning assets, for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to
$4.3 million, or 7.51% of average interest-earning assets, for the year ended
December 31, 1996. Interest income increased by $258,000 or 5.94% from 1996 to
1997. The change was due to an 18 basis point increase in the average rate
earned on the average interest-earning assets plus a $2.0 million increase in
the average balance of interest-earning assets during the year ended December
31, 1997 compared to the year ended December 31, 1996.

INTEREST EXPENSE.   Interest expense was $2.3 million, or 5.13% of average
interest-bearing liabilities for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to
$2.1 million, or 5.07% of average interest-bearing liabilities for the
corresponding period in 1996. The increase in interest expense of $181,000 was
due primarily to a $3.0 million increase in the average balance of interest-
bearing liabilities for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the year
ended December 31, 1996. Approximately $135,000 or 74.6% of the increase in
interest expense was due to an increase of $2.5 million in the average balance
of FHLB borrowings, which the Bank has used to meet loan demand as the
competition for deposits increased.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.   The provision for loan losses was approximately
$18,000 and $7,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Management considers many factors in determining the necessary levels of the
allowance for loan losses, including an analysis of specific loans in the
portfolio, estimated value of the underlying collateral, assessment of general
trends in the real estate market, delinquency trends, prospective economic and
regulatory conditions, inherent loss in the loan portfolio, and the relationship
of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans. At December 31, 1997 and
1996, the allowance for loan losses represented .22% and .20% of total loans,
respectively.

NON-INTEREST INCOME.   Non-interest income amounted to $484,000 and $334,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase of
$150,000 was due primarily to additional gains resulting from the sale of shares
of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation stock. The gain on the sale of
investments in 1996 was also due to the sale of shares of this same stock.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE.   Non-interest expense decreased approximately $308,000 or
23.11% to $1,025,000 at December 31, 1997 compared to $1,333,000 at December 31,
1996.  Non-interest expenses was 1.69% of average assets for the year ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to 2.26% of average assets for the same period in
1996.  The decrease of $308,000 was due primarily to a decrease of $351,000 in
federal insurance premiums offset by a $33,000 increase in compensation and
benefits and a net increase of $10,000 in all other operating expenses. The
decrease of $351,000 in federal insurance premiums was the result of a one-time
special assessment of $274,000 charged in 1996 to recapitalize the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), and an additional $77,000 savings in 1997 due
to the reduction of the insurance assessment rate on the Bank's deposits as a
result of the recapitalization of SAIF. The increase of $33,000 in compensation
and benefits was due primarily to the addition of one new person for 1997 and
normal salary increases.

INCOME TAXES.   The provision for income tax expense amounted to approximately
$575,000 and $409,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The provision for income tax expense as a percentage of income
before tax expenses amounted to 34.0% and 34.9% for 1997 and 1996, respectively.
(See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).


COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND
1995

NET INCOME.   Net income increased by $15,000 or 2.0% to $760,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $746,000 for the same period in 1995.
The net increase was due to a $240,000 increase in interest income, a $291,000
increase in non-interest income plus a decrease of $17,000 in the provision for
loan losses offset by an increase of $223,000 in interest expense, an increase
of $300,000 in non-interest expense and an increase of $10,000 in income taxes
for 1996 compared to 1995.

INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income was $4.3 million, or 7.51% of average
interest-earning assets, for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to
$4.1 million, or 7.48% of average interest-earning assets, for the year ended
December 31, 1995.  Interest income increased by $240,000 or 5.89% from 1995 to
1996.  The change was due primarily to a $3.0 million increase in the average
balance of interest-earning assets during the year ended December 31, 1996
compared to the year ended December 31, 1995.

INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense was $2.1 million, or 5.07% of average
interest-bearing liabilities for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to
$1.9 million, or 4.90% of average interest-bearing liabilities for the
corresponding period in 1995.  The increase in interest expense was the result
of an increase of 17 basis points in the average rate paid on deposits plus an
increase in the average interest bearing deposits of approximately $3.2 million
in 1996 compared to 1995.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES.  The provision for loan losses was approximately
$7,000 and $24,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Management considers many factors in determining the necessary levels of the
allowance for loan losses, including an analysis of specific loans in the
portfolio, estimated value of the underlying collateral, assessment of general
trends in the real estate market, delinquency trends, prospective economic and
regulatory conditions, inherent loss in the loan portfolio, and the relationship
of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans.  At December 31, 1996 and
1995, the allowance for loan losses represented .20% of total loans.

NON-INTEREST INCOME.  Non-interest income amounted to $334,000 and $43,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase was due
primarily to a $282,000 gain resulting from the sale of investments classified
as available-for-sale.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE.  Non-interest expense increased approximately $300,000 or
29.1% to $1,334,000 at December 31, 1996 compared to $1,033,000 at December 31,
1995.  Non-interest expense was 2.26% of average assets for the year ended
December 31, 1996 as compared to 1.85% of average assets for the same period in
1995. The increase of $300,000 was due primarily to increases of $276,000 in
federal insurance premiums, $36,000 in losses on foreclosed real estate, $45,000
in other operating expenses, offset by a decrease of $53,000 in legal expenses.
The increase of $276,000 in federal insurance premiums was primarily due to a
one-time special assessment of $274,000, pursuant to legislation signed by the
President on September 30, 1996 to recapitalize the Savings Association
Insurance Fund (SAIF). As a result of this special assessment, the insurance
assessment rate on the Bank's deposits will be reduced beginning January 1, 1997

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
to a comparable rate charged to well capitalized commercial banks. The increase
of $36,000 in losses on foreclosed real estate was the result of a valuation
allowance established by management to reflect the fair value of the real estate
owned net of estimated selling expense. The increase of $45,000 in other
operating expenses was due to increases in franchise and license taxes,
accounting and regulatory fees associated with being a public company. The
decrease of $53,000 in legal expense was due to special services related to new
employee benefit plans provided in 1995, but not in 1996.

INCOME TAXES.  The provision for income tax expense amounted to approximately
$409,000 and $399,000 for the years ended December 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The provision for income tax expense as a percentage of income
before income tax expenses amounted to 34.9% and 34.8% for 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The liquidity of the Company depends primarily on the dividends paid to it as
the sole shareholder of the Bank. The Bank is subject to certain regulatory
limitations with respect to the payment of dividends to the Company. See Note 9
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement.

The Bank's principal sources of funds for operations are deposits from its
primary market area, principal and interest payments on loans and proceeds from
maturing investment securities. In addition, as a member of the FHLB of
Cincinnati, the Bank is eligible to borrow funds from the FHLB of Cincinnati in
the form of advances.

The Bank is required by OTS regulations to maintain minimum levels of specified
liquid assets which are currently equal to 4% of deposits and borrowings.
Central Kentucky Federal's liquidity ratio at December 31, 1997, was
approximately 9.34%.  A higher liquidity ratio can result in a reduced return on
the investment of such assets due to the lower interest rates usually prevailing
on shorter-term investments.

The Bank's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which are short
term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three
months. The level of this asset is dependent on the Bank's operating, financing
and investing activities during any given period. At December 31, 1997 and 1996,
cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $3.3 million and $2.2 million,
respectively.

The primary operating activity of the Bank is accepting deposits from the
general public and the origination of residential mortgage and other loans. Cash
flow from this activity is generally derived from net income, as increased or
decreased in part by the income attributable to FHLB stock dividends,
depreciation expense, interest accruals, deferred income taxes, and the change
in prepaid expenses as amounts paid in prior periods are applied to subsequently
incurred expenses. The Bank's operating activities produced positive cash flows
for 1997 and 1996. The primary investing activities of the Bank are origination
of loans and purchases of investment securities. For the year ended December 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively, the Bank's origination of loans exceeded repayments
by $1.8 million and $3.5 million. The excess of originations over repayments
during 1997 and 1996 reflected the success of management's strategy of offering
more flexible options related to adjustable rate mortgage loans. The Bank's
primary financing activities arise from certificates of deposits and from other
deposit accounts, and from the issuance and repurchase of the Company's common
stock. During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Bank had a net decrease in
other deposit accounts of approximately $243,000 and a net increase in
certificates of deposit of $664,000. In addition, the Company repurchased 63,975
shares of its stock at a cost of $1.2 million.

The Bank's capital ratios are substantially in excess of current regulatory
capital requirements. At December 31, 1997, the Bank's tangible and core capital
amounted to 19.47% of adjusted total assets, or 17.97% and 16.47%, respectively,
in excess of the Bank's current 1.5% tangible and 3.0% core capital
requirements. Additionally, the Bank's risk-weighted assets ratio was 34.12% at
December 31, 1997, or 26.12% in excess of the Bank's 8.0% risk-based capital
requirement (See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The Consolidated Financial Statements, and Notes thereto, 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 the changes in the relative purchasing
power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected
in the increased cost of the Bank's operations. Unlike most industrial
companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Bank are monetary in
nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Bank's
performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates
do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price
of goods and services.

POSSIBLE YEAR 2000 COMPUTER PROGRAM PROBLEMS

A great deal of information has been disseminated about the global computer
crash that may occur in the year 2000. Many computer programs that can only
distinguish the final two digits of the year entered (a common programming
practice in earlier years) are expected to read entries for the year 2000 as the
year 1900 and compute payment, interest, or delinquency based on the wrong date
or are expected to be unable to compute payment, interest, or delinquency. Rapid
and accurate data processing is essential to the operations of the Company. Data
processing is also essential to most other financial institutions and many other
companies.

All of the material data processing of the Company that could be affected by
this problem is provided by a third party service bureau. The service bureau of
the Company has advised the Company that it expects to resolve this potential
problem before the year 2000. However, if the service bureau is unable to
resolve this problem in time, the Company would likely experience significant
data processing delays, mistakes, or failures. These delays, mistakes, or
failures could have a significant adverse impact on the financial condition and
results of operations of the Company.

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS.  In June 1996, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, Servicing Rights,
and Extinguishment of Liabilities," that provides accounting guidance on
transfers of financial assets, servicing of financial assets, and extinguishment
of liabilities. SFAS No. 125 supersedes SFAS No. 122 and introduces an approach
to accounting for transfers of financial assets that provides a means of dealing
with more complex transactions in which the seller disposes of only a partial
interest in the assets, retains rights or obligations, makes use of special
purpose entities in the transaction, or otherwise has continuing involvement
with the transferred assets. The new accounting method, the financial components
approach, provides that the carrying amount of the financial assets transferred
be allocated to components of the transaction based on their relative fair
values. SFAS No. 125 provides criteria for determining whether control of assets
has been relinquished and whether a sale has occurred. If the transfer does not
qualify as a sale, it is accounted for as secured borrowing. Transactions
subject to the provisions of 

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
SFAS No. 125 include, among others, transfers involving repurchase agreements,
securitizations of financial assets, loan participations, factoring
arrangements, and transfers of receivables with recourse.

An entity that undertakes an obligation to service financial assets recognizes
either a servicing asset or liability for the servicing contract (unless related
to a securitization of assets, and all the securitized assets are retained and
classified as held-to-maturity). A servicing asset or liability that is
purchased or assumed is initially recognized at its fair value. Servicing assets
and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated
net servicing income or net servicing loss and are subject to subsequent
assessments for impairment based on fair value.

SFAS No. 125 provides that a liability is removed from the balance sheet only if
the debtor either pays the creditor and is relieved of its obligation for the
liability or is legally released from being the primary obligor.

SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishment of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996, and is to be
applied prospectively. Earlier or retroactive application is not permitted. The
Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 125 in January 1997 with no material
effect on the Company's financial statements.

ACCOUNTING FOR EARNINGS PER SHARE.  In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS 128"). SFAS
128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS)
and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common
stock. This statement simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share
previously found in APB Opinion No. 15, Earnings Per Share, and makes them
comparable to international EPS standards. It replaces the presentation of
primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS and requires dual presentation of
basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with
complex capital structures, and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the
diluted EPS computation.

SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after
December 15, 1997, including interim periods; earlier application is not
permitted. This statement requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data
presented. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 128 in December 1997 with
no material effect on the Company's financial statements.

REPORTING OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME.  In June 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
Reporting of Comprehensive Income ("SFAS 130"), which establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues,
expenses, gains, and losses) in a full set of financial statements. This
statement also requires that all items that are required to be recognized under
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a
financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements.

This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Earlier application is permitted. Reclassification of financial statements for
earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is required. The Company does
not anticipate that adoption of SFAS 130 will have a material effect on the
Company.

DISCLOSURE ABOUT SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION.  In June 1997, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
("SFAS 131"), which establishes standards for the way that public 

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual
financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected
information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to
stockholders. This statement also establishes standards for related disclosures
about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. This
statement requires the reporting of financial and descriptive information about
an enterprise's reportable operating segments.

This statement is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997. In the initial year of application, comparative information
for earlier years is to be restated. The Company does not anticipate that the
adoption of SFAS 131 will have a material effect on the Company.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     On December 29, 1994, Central Kentucky Federal Savings and Loan Association
     completed a conversion from a federal mutual savings and loan association
     to a federal stock savings bank, Central Kentucky Federal Savings Bank
     (Bank). All stock of the Bank was issued to CKF Bancorp, Inc. (Company), a
     holding company formed in connection with the conversion. Simultaneously,
     the Company completed an offering and sale of its common stock.

     CKF Bancorp, Inc. is a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware.
     The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company which, under
     existing laws, generally is not restricted in the types of business
     activities in which it may engage provided that the Bank retains a
     specified amount of its assets in housing-related investments. The
     Company's operations consist primarily of those of the Bank.

     The Bank is a federally chartered stock savings bank located in Danville,
     Kentucky. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. As a
     member of this system, the Bank is required to maintain an investment in
     capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB) in an
     amount equal to at least the greater of 1% of its outstanding loan and
     mortgage-backed securities or .3% of total assets as of December 31 of each
     year. The Bank's operations consist of attracting deposits from the general
     public and using such deposits to originate loans primarily in the Bank's
     market area. The bank's profitability is significantly dependent on net
     interest income which is the difference between income generated from
     interest-earning assets (i.e., loans and investments) and the interest
     expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities (i.e., customer deposits and
     borrowed funds). Net interest income is affected by the relative amount of
     interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest
     received or paid by the Bank can be significantly influenced by a number of
     environmental factors, such as governmental monetary policy, that are
     outside of management's control.

     The consolidated financial information presented herein has been prepared
     in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and
     general accounting practices within the financial services industry. In
     preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP,
     management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
     reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
     assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues
     and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
     such estimates.

     The following is a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies
     which have been consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying
     consolidated financial statements.

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION. The consolidated financial statements include
     the accounts of CKF Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary, Central Kentucky
     Federal Savings Bank. All significant intercompany balances and
     transactions have been eliminated.

                                  (Continued)

                       CKF BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               ----------------

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. For purposes of reporting consolidated cash
     flows, the Bank considers cash, balances with banks, and interest-bearing
     deposits in other financial institutions with original maturities of three
     months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include
     approximately $313,000 on deposit with other banks which is not covered by
     FDIC insurance.

     INVESTMENT SECURITIES. Investment securities that management has the intent
     and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity, and
     carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of
     discount over the term of the security, using the level yield method.
     Included in this category of investments is FHLB stock which is a
     restricted stock carried at cost. Investment securities available for sale
     are carried at market value. Adjustments from amortized cost to market
     value are recorded in stockholders' equity net of deferred income tax until
     realized. The identified security method is used to determine gains or
     losses on sales of investment securities.

     Regulations require the Bank to maintain an amount of cash and U. S.
     government and other approved securities equal to a prescribed percentage
     (4% at December 31, 1997) of deposit accounts (net of loans on deposits)
     plus short-term borrowings. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Bank was in
     compliance with these requirements.

     OFFICE PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT. Office properties and equipment are stated
     at cost less accumulated depreciation computed principally by the straight-
     line method. The estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation are:
     office buildings and improvements, ten to fifty years; and furniture and
     equipment, five to ten years. The gain or loss on the sale of property and
     equipment is recorded in the year of disposition.

     LOAN FEES. Loan fees are accounted for in accordance with Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 91. This statement requires
     loan origination fees and certain related direct loan origination costs be
     offset and the resulting net amount be deferred and amortized over the
     contractual life of the related loans as an adjustment to the yield of such
     loans.

     FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE. Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu
     of loan foreclosures are to be sold, and are initially recorded at fair
     value less estimated selling expenses at the date of foreclosure
     establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are
     periodically performed by management, and the real estate is carried at the
     lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and
     expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are
     included in loss on foreclosed real estate.

     LOANS. Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances, less the
     allowance for loan losses and net deferred loan fees. The Bank has adequate
     liquidity and capital, and it is management's intention to hold such assets
     to maturity.

     An allowance for loan losses is provided to reduce the recorded balances of
     loans to estimated net realizable value. The allowance for loan losses is
     increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of
     recoveries). Managements' periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the
     allowance

                                  (Continued)

                               ----------------

     is based on the Bank's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks
     in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability
     to pay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic
     conditions. While management uses the best information available, future
     adjustments may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from
     assumptions used in management's evaluation. In addition, various
     regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
     periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require additions
     to the allowance based on their judgement about information available to
     them at the time of their examination.

     Effective January 1, 1995, the Company implemented SFAS No. 114 "Accounting
     by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by SFAS No. 118. A loan
     is defined under SFAS No. 114 as impaired when, based on current
     information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to
     collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
     agreement. In applying the provisions of SFAS No. 114, the Bank considers
     its investment in one-to-four family residential loans and consumer
     installment loans to be homogenous and therefore excluded from separate
     identification for evaluation of impairment. With respect to the Bank's
     investment in impaired multi-family and nonresidential loans, such loans
     are collateral dependent, and as a result, are carried as a practical
     expedient at the lower of cost or fair value.

     Collateral dependent loans when put in non-accrual status are considered to
     constitute more than a minimum delay in repayment and are evaluated for
     impairment under SFAS No. 114 at that time.

     INCOME RECOGNITION ON NONACCRUAL AND IMPAIRED LOANS. Loans are generally
     classified as nonaccrual (impaired loans) if they are past due as to
     maturity or payment of principal and interest for a period of more than 90
     days, unless such loans are well secured and in the process of collection.
     Loans that are on a current payment status or past due less than 90 days
     may also be classified as nonaccrual if repayment in full of principal
     and/or interest is in doubt.

     Loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest
     amounts due (including arrearages) are reasonably assured of repayment
     within an acceptable period of time, and there is a sustained period of
     repayment performance by the borrower, in accordance with the contractual
     terms of interest and principal.

     While a loan is in nonaccrual status, interest income is generally
     recognized on a cash basis.

     DEPOSITS. The Bank's deposits are insured by the Savings Association
     Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which is administered by the Federal Deposit
     Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). On September 30, 1996, the President signed
     legislation, which among other things, recapitalized the Savings
     Association Insurance Fund through a special assessment on savings
     financial institutions, such as the Bank. The special assessment amounted
     to $274,421 for the Bank and is included in the Federal and other insurance
     premium expense for the year ended December 31, 1996. As a result of the
     recapitalization of the SAIF, the Bank's assessment rate for insurance on
     deposits, beginning in 1997,

                                  (Continued)

                               ----------------

     decreased from .23% on customer deposit balances under $100,000 to
     approximately .6% on customer deposit balances under $100,000.

     INCOME TAXES. The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return
     with its subsidiary. The current income tax benefit or liability is
     allocated to each corporation included in the consolidated return based on
     their tax benefit or liability computed on a separate return basis. The
     provision for federal and state taxes on income is based on earnings
     reported in the financial statements. Timing differences exist between
     income and expense recognition for financial reporting and income tax
     purposes. Deferred income taxes have been provided for these temporary
     differences.

     FEDERAL HOME LOAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION STOCK. On December 6, 1984, the
     Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation created a new class of participating
     preferred stock. The preferred stock was distributed to the twelve district
     banks of the Federal Home Loan Banking System for subsequent distribution
     to their member institutions. The Bank received 817 shares of the stock and
     recorded it at its fair value of $40 per share as of December 31, 1984. The
     fair value of the stock recognized as of December 31, 1984 became its cost.
     The stock has been subsequently classified as available for sale and
     carried at market value.

     ESOP AND STOCK OPTION AND COMPENSATION PLANS. Shares of common stock issued
     to the Company's employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) are initially
     recorded as unearned ESOP shares in stockholders' equity at the fair value
     of the shares at the date of issuance to the plan. As shares are committed
     to be released as compensation to employees, the Company reduces the
     carrying value of the unearned shares and records compensation expense
     equal to the current value of the shares.

     Compensation cost of stock option plan awards is measured by the difference
     between the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of the
     award and the price to be paid by the employee.

     Shares of common stock awarded under the Company's stock compensation plan
     are recorded initially as unearned compensation in stockholders' equity at
     the fair value of the shares at the date of the award. The total
     compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period.

     EARNINGS PER SHARE. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, which was effective
     for financial statement periods ending after December 15, 1997, earnings
     per common share is computed by dividing income available to common
     shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
     during the period. Earnings per common share - assuming dilution reflects
     the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
     issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or
     resulted in the issuance of common stock, that then shared in the earnings
     of the company. Earnings per share disclosures for the prior periods
     presented have been restated in accordance with SFAS No. 128.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS. Certain presentations of accounts previously reported
     have been reclassified in these consolidated financial statements. Such
     reclassification had no effect on net income or retained income as
     previously reported.

     These loans were incurred in the ordinary course of business on
     substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable
     transactions with other persons and do not involve more than normal risk of

5.   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATIONS OF
     CREDIT RISK

     The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in
     the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
     These financial instruments include mortgage commitments outstanding which
     amounted to approximately $844,000 and $275,500 as of December 31, 1997 and
     1996, respectively. In addition, the Bank had approximately $905,583 and
     $854,790 of unused home equity lines and licensed lines of credit to
     customers at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The mortgage loan
     commitments at December 31, 1997 included fixed rate loan commitments of
     $196,000. The mortgage loan commitments at December 31, 1996 were all
     adjustable rate loans commitments. These instruments involve, to varying
     degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount
     recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

     The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
     other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and home
     equity lines of credit, is represented by the contractual amount of those
     instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments
     and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
     Since many of the loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the
     total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future requirements.
     The Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case
     basis. The amount of collateral obtained upon extension of credit is based
     on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held
     varies, but primarily includes residential real estate.

     The Bank has no significant concentrations of credit risk with any
     individual counterparty to originate loans. The Bank lending is
     concentrated in residential real estate mortgages in the Central Kentucky
     area, within a 45-mile radius of Danville, Kentucky. A substantial portion
     of its debtors' ability to honor their contract is dependent on the economy
     of this area.

     These borrowings are collateralized by qualified real estate first
     mortgages and Federal Home Loan Bank stock held by the Bank, which had a
     book value of $8,337,574 and $2,359,768 at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
     respectively. At December 31, 1997 FHLB advances totaling $5,000,000 have a
     variable or floating interest rate.

9.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     REGULATORY CAPITAL. The Bank is subject to minimum regulatory capital
     requirements promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). Such
     minimum capital standards generally require the maintenance of regulatory
     capital sufficient to meet each of three tests, hereinafter described as
     the tangible capital requirements, the core capital requirement and the
     risk-based capital requirement. The tangible capital requirement provides
     for minimum tangible capital (defined as stockholders' equity less all
     intangible assets) equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets. The core capital
     requirement provides for minimum core capital (tangible capital plus
     certain forms of supervisory goodwill and other qualifying intangible
     assets such as capitalized mortgage servicing rights) equal to 3.0% of
     adjusted total assets. The risk-based capital requirement provides for the
     maintenance core capital plus general loss

     allowance equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. In computing risk-weighted
     assets, the Savings Bank multiplies the value of each asset on its
     statement of financial condition by a defined risk-weight factor, e.g., 
     one-to-four family residential loans carry a risk-weighted factor of 50%.

     As of December 31, 1997, the Bank's regulatory capital exceeded all minimum
     regulatory capital requirements as shown in the following table:

     RETAINED EARNINGS RESTRICTION. Retained earnings at December 31, 1997
     include approximately $1,471,000 of tax bad debt reserves accumulated prior
     to December 31, 1987 for which no Federal income tax has been provided.
     These tax bad debt reserves are only taxable in certain circumstances, such
     as if the Bank converted to an institution that did not qualify as a bank
     for tax purposes (see Note 10).

     LIQUIDATION ACCOUNT. Upon conversion to a capital stock savings bank,
     eligible account holders who continued to maintain their deposit accounts
     in the Bank were granted priority in the event of the future liquidation of
     the Bank through the establishment of a special "Liquidation Account" in an
     amount equal to the consolidated net worth of the Bank at June 30, 1994.
     The June 30, 1994 Liquidation Account balance of $6,337,924 is reduced
     annually in proportion to decreases in the accounts of the eligible account
     holders. The Liquidation Account does not restrict the use or application
     of net worth, except with respect to the cash payment of dividends. The
     Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on or repurchase any of its
     common stock if the effect would cause its regulatory capital to be reduced
     below the amount required for the liquidation account.

     DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS: The payment of cash dividends by the Bank on its
     Common Stock is limited by regulations of the OTS. Interest on savings
     accounts will be paid prior to payments of dividends on Common Stock. The
     Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend to the Company in excess of
     100% of its net income to date during the current calendar year plus the
     amount that would reduce by one-half the Bank's capital ratio at the
     beginning of the year without prior OTS approval. Additional limitation on
     dividends declared or paid, or repurchases of the Bank stock are tied to
     the Bank's level of compliance with its regulatory capital requirements.

     In addition to the net deferred tax liability of $130,564 as of December
     31, 1997 included in the preceding table, the financial statements include
     a deferred tax liability of $183,250 that was charged against the
     unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale of $538,967. The net
     amount of $355,717 is recorded as a separate component of stockholders'
     equity at December 31, 1997.

     For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Bank was allowed a special bad
     debt deduction limited generally to eight percent (8%) of otherwise taxable
     income and subject to certain limitations based on aggregate loans and
     savings account balances at the end of the year. If the amounts qualifying
     as deductions under the Internal Revenue Code provision were later used for
     purposes other than bad debt losses, they would be subject to Federal
     income tax at the then current corporation rate.

     In 1996, the Internal Revenue Service repealed this special provision for
     thrift institutions, such as the Bank, for determining the allowable tax
     bad debt reserves. Effective for tax years ending December 31, 1996 all
     thrift institutions are taxed as other banking institutions. Institutions
     under $500 million in assets are allowed to use the reserve method of
     determining their bad debt deduction based on their actual experience while
     larger institutions (over $500 million) must use the specific charge off
     method in determining their deduction. Tax bad debt reserves accumulated
     since December 31, 1987 must be included in taxable income of the Bank
     prorated over a six year period, beginning in the tax year ended December
     31, 1997. This change did not have a material impact on the Bank, as a
     deferred tax liability was provided for these accumulated reserves. The
     accumulated tax bad debt reserves as of December 31, 1987, which amounts to
     approximately $1,471,000 is only subject to being taxed at a later date
     under certain circumstances, such as the Bank converting to a type of
     institution that is not considered a bank for tax purposes. These financial
     statements do not include any deferred tax liability related to the
     accumulated tax bad debt reserves as of December 31, 1987.

11.  EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

     RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN. Effective January 1, 1994, the Bank became a
     participant in the Financial Institutions Thrift Plan. The Plan allows
     participating employees to make contributions by salary reduction pursuant
     to Section 401(K) of the Internal Revenue Code for all employees who meet
     certain requirements as to age and length of service. The Bank makes 25%
     matching contributions to each participant's account up to 6% of the
     participant's compensation. The Bank contributions to the Plan amounted to
     $2,297 and $2,094 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
     respectively. Employees vest immediately in their contributions and 100% in
     the Bank's contributions after completing 5 years of service.

     DIRECTORS RETIREMENT PLAN. On July 5, 1995, the stockholders of the Company
     approved the establishment of a Director Retirement Plan. The Director
     Retirement Plan, which was effective January 1, 1994, covers each member of
     the Company's and the Bank's Board of Directors who at any time serves as a
     non-employee director. Under the Director Retirement Plan, each
     participating director will receive on a monthly basis for ten years
     following his or her retirement from the Board, an amount equal to the
     product of his or her "Benefit Percentage," his or her "Vested Percentage"
     and 75% of the amount of the monthly fee he or she received for service on
     the Board during the calendar year preceding his or her retirement from the
     Board. All benefits vest immediately in the case of retirement after age 70
     with 15 years of service, upon death or disability, or upon a change in
     control of the Company. The Director Retirement Plan is a non-qualified
     benefit plan and will be funded by the general assets of the Company, and
     the Company will recognize the expense of providing these benefits as they
     become vested. The Company recognized an expense of $58,351 and $54,260, in
     connection with this plan for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
     respectively.

     OPTION PLAN. On July 5, 1995, the stockholders of the Company approved the
     establishment of the CKF Bancorp, Inc. 1995 Stock Option and Incentive
     Plan. Under the Option Plan, the Company may grant either incentive or non-
     qualified stock options to Directors and key employees for an aggregate of
     100,000 shares of the Company's common stock, with an exercise price equal
     to the fair market value of the stock at the date of the award. Upon
     exercise of the options, the Company may issue stock out of authorized
     shares or purchase the stock in the open market. The option to purchase
     shares expires ten years after the date of the grant. Effective with the
     approval of the Option Plan, options to purchase 89,000 shares of common
     stock were awarded to key employees and directors with an exercise price of
     $13.13 per share. The options vest, and thereby become exercisable, at the
     rate of 20% per year beginning July 5, 1996. The Options become vested
     immediately in the case of death or disability, or upon a change in the
     control of the Company.

     During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company purchased 63,975
     shares of its common stock at a cost of $1,236,244, which is being held in
     trust for the purpose of issuing stock in connection with the exercise of
     options under this Plan. For the year ended December 31, 1997, 3,700 shares
     were issued from the Trust upon exercise of stock options, leaving a
     balance of 83,000 shares of common stock in the Trust at December 31, 1997.

     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
     123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which was effective for
     fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The new standard defines a
     fair value method of accounting for stock options and similar equity
     instruments. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at
     the grant date, based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over
     the service period, which is usually the vesting period.

     Companies are not required to adopt the fair value method of accounting for
     employee stock-based transactions, and may continue to account for such
     transactions under Accounting Principles Based (APB) Opinion No. 25
     "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under this method the
     compensation cost is measured by the difference between the fair value of
     the Company's stock at the date of the award, and the exercise price to be
     paid by the employee. If a company chooses to report stock based
     compensation under APB 25, they must disclose the pro forma net income and
     earnings per share as if the Company had applied the new method of
     accounting. Accordingly, the following table shows the Company's net income
     and earnings per share on a pro forma basis as if the compensation cost for
     the stock options awarded were accounted for in accordance with SFAS No.
     123 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.

     EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION PLAN. On July 5, 1995, the stockholders of the Company
     approved the establishment of the Employee Recognition Plan (ERP). The
     objective of the ERP is to enable the Bank to attract and retain personnel
     of experience and ability in key positions of responsibility. Those
     eligible to receive benefits under the ERP will be such employees as
     selected by members of a committee appointed by the Company's Board of
     Directors. The ERP is a non-qualified plan that is

     managed through a separate trust. The Bank will contribute sufficient funds
     to the ERP Trust for the purchase of up to 40,000 shares of common stock.

     Awards made to employees will vest 20% on each anniversary date of the
     award. Shares will be held by the trustee and are voted by the ERP trustee
     in the same proportion as the trustee of the Company's ESOP plan votes
     shares held therein. Any assets of the trust are subject to the general
     creditors of the Company. All shares awarded vest immediately in the case
     of a participant's retirement after age 65, death or disability, or upon a
     change in control of the Company. The Company intends to expense ERP awards
     over the years during which the shares are payable, based on the fair
     market value of the common stock at the date of the grant to the employee.
     As of December 31, 1997, no awards had been made under the ERP.

     EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN. In connection with the stock conversion
     December 29, 1994, the Company established an internally leveraged Employee
     Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") which covers substantially all full time
     employees. The ESOP borrowed $800,000 from the Company and purchased 80,000
     shares of common stock of the Company at the date of conversion. The loan
     is being repaid in annual installments over a 15-year period with interest,
     which is based on the published prime rate (currently 8.25%) per the Wall
     Street Journal plus 1%.

     The Company makes annual contributions to ESOP equal to the ESOP's debt
     service less dividends, if any, received by the ESOP and used for debt
     service. Dividends received by the ESOP on shares held as collateral are to
     be used to pay debt service; dividends on allocated shares may be credited
     to participants' accounts or used for debt service. Dividends of $117,600
     and $33,600 were used in fiscal year 1997 and 1996, respectively, to pay
     ESOP debt service. The ESOP shares are pledged as collateral on the debt.
     As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to
     active participants based on a formula specified in the ESOP agreement.

     ESOP compensation was $103,265 and $104,783 for the years ended December
     31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. During 1997 and 1996, 6,428.75 and
     5,333.33 shares were released from collateral, respectively. At December
     31, 1997, there were 62,904.59 unallocated ESOP shares having a fair value
     of $1,163,735.

12.  DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     In December 1991, the FASB issued SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair
     Value of Financial Instruments." This statement extends the existing fair
     value disclosure practices for some instruments by requiring all entities
     to disclose the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), both
     assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the statements of
     financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value.

     There are inherent limitations in determining fair value estimates, as they
     relate only to specific data based on relevant information at that time. As
     a significant percentage of the Bank's financial instruments do not have an
     active trading market, fair value estimates are necessarily based on future
     expected cash flows, credit losses, and other related factors. Such
     estimates are accordingly,

                                  (Continued)

     subjective in nature, judgmental and involve imprecision. Future events
     will occur at levels different from that in the assumptions, and such
     differences may significantly affect the estimates.

     The statement excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial
     instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate
     fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the
     Company.

     Additionally, the tax impact of the unrealized gains or losses has not been
     presented or included in the estimates of fair value.

     The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
     estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. The carrying amounts reported in the statement
     of financial condition for cash and short-term instruments approximate
     those assets' fair values.

     INVESTMENT SECURITIES. Fair values for investment securities are based on
     quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not
     available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable
     instruments. No active market exists for the Federal Home Loan Bank capital
     stock. The carrying value is estimated to be fair value since if the Bank
     withdraws membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank, the stock must be
     redeemed for face value.

     LOANS RECEIVABLE. The fair value of loans was estimated by discounting the
     future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be
     made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining
     maturities.

     DEPOSITS. The fair value of savings deposits and certain money market
     deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair
     value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the
     rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

     LOAN COMMITMENTS AND UNUSED HOME EQUITY LINES OF CREDIT. The fair value of
     loan commitments and unused home equity lines of credit is estimated by
     taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present
     credit-worthiness of the counterparties.

13.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Certain directors of the Bank perform legal services on behalf of the Bank
     and appraise selected real estate properties for which they receive fees
