Item 4.  Description of Securities

         Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

         None.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

         Article NINTH of the  Certificate  of  Incorporation  of CCSB Financial
Corp.  (the  "Corporation")  sets forth  circumstances  under  which  directors,
officers,  employees and agents of the Corporation may be insured or indemnified
against liability which they incur in their capacities as such:



         NINTH: A. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be
made a party to or is  otherwise  involved  in any action,  suit or  proceeding,
whether  civil,  criminal,   administrative  or  investigative   (hereinafter  a
"proceeding"),  by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Director  or an
Officer  of  the  Corporation  or is or  was  serving  at  the  request  of  the
Corporation as a Director,  Officer, employee or agent of another corporation or
of a partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other enterprise,  including service
with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an "indemnitee"),  whether
the basis of such  proceeding  is alleged  action in an  official  capacity as a
Director, Officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a
Director,  Officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the  Corporation  to the  fullest  extent  authorized  by the  Delaware  General
Corporation  Law, as the same exists or may  hereafter be amended  (but,  in the
case of any such amendment,  only to the extent that such amendment  permits the
Corporation to provide  broader  indemnification  rights than such law permitted
the  Corporation  to provide  prior to such  amendment),  against  all  expense,
liability and loss (including  attorneys' fees,  judgments,  fines, ERISA excise
taxes or  penalties  and  amounts  paid in  settlement)  reasonably  incurred or
suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith;  provided,  however,  that,
except as provided in Section C hereof with  respect to  proceedings  to enforce
rights to  indemnification,  the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee
in connection  with a proceeding (or part thereof)  initiated by such indemnitee
only if such  proceeding  (or  part  thereof)  was  authorized  by the  Board of
Directors of the Corporation.

         B. The right to indemnification  conferred in Section A of this Article
NINTH  shall  include  the  right  to be paid by the  Corporation  the  expenses
incurred in defending any such  proceeding  in advance of its final  disposition
(hereinafter  an  "advancement of expenses");  provided,  however,  that, if the
Delaware General  Corporation Law requires,  an advancement of expenses incurred
by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a Director or Officer (and not in any
other  capacity  in  which  service  was  or is  rendered  by  such  indemnitee,
including,  without  limitation,  services to an employee benefit plan) shall be
made only upon delivery to the  Corporation  of an undertaking  (hereinafter  an
"undertaking"),  by or on behalf of such  indemnitee,  to repay all  amounts  so
advanced if it shall  ultimately be determined by final  judicial  decision from
which there is no further right to appeal  (hereinafter a "final  adjudication")
that such  indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified  for such expenses under
this Section or otherwise.  The rights to indemnification and to the advancement
of  expenses  conferred  in  Sections  A and B of this  Article  NINTH  shall be
contract  rights and such  rights  shall  continue as to an  indemnitee  who has
ceased to be a  Director,  Officer,  employee  or agent  and shall  inure to the
benefit of the indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators.

         C. If a claim under Section A or B of this Article NINTH is not paid in
full by the  Corporation  within  sixty  days  after a  written  claim  has been
received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of
expenses,  in which  case  the  applicable  period  shall be  twenty  days,  the
indemnitee  may at any time  thereafter  bring suit against the  Corporation  to
recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any
such suit, or in a suit brought by the  Corporation to recover an advancement of
expenses  pursuant  to the  terms of an  undertaking,  the  indemnitee  shall be
entitled to be paid also the expense of  prosecuting  or defending such suit. In
(i) any suit  brought by the  indemnitee  to enforce a right to  indemnification
hereunder  (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an
advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) in any suit by the
Corporation to recover an  advancement  of expenses  pursuant to the terms of an
undertaking  the  Corporation  shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a
final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable  standard for
indemnification  set forth in the Delaware General  Corporation Law. Neither the
failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors,  independent legal
counsel,  or its  stockholders)  to  have  made  a  determination  prior  to the
commencement  of such suit that  indemnification  of the indemnitee is proper in
the  circumstances  because the indemnitee  has met the  applicable  standard of
conduct  set  forth in the  Delaware  General  Corporation  Law,  nor an  actual
determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors,  independent
legal  counsel,  or its  stockholders)  that  the  indemnitee  has not met  such
applicable  standard of conduct,  shall create a presumption that the indemnitee
has not met the  applicable  standard  of conduct or, in the case of such a suit
brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the
indemnitee  to  enforce  a right  to  indemnification  or to an  advancement  of
expenses hereunder,  or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses
pursuant  to the  terms  of an  undertaking,  the  burden  of  proving  that the
indemnitee  is  not  entitled  to be  indemnified,  or to  such  advancement  of
expenses, under this Article NINTH or otherwise, shall be on the Corporation.



         D. The rights to  indemnification  and to the  advancement  of expenses
conferred in this Article  NINTH shall not be exclusive of any other right which
any person may have or hereafter  acquire under any statute,  the  Corporation's
Certificate  of  Incorporation,  Bylaws,  agreement,  vote  of  stockholders  or
disinterested Directors or otherwise.

         E. The Corporation may maintain  insurance,  at its expense, to protect
itself  and any  Director,  Officer,  employee  or agent of the  Corporation  or
another  corporation,  partnership,  joint  venture,  trust or other  enterprise
against any expense,  liability or loss,  whether or not the  Corporation  would
have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,  liability or loss
under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

         F. The Corporation  may, to the extent  authorized from time to time by
the Board of Directors,  grant rights to indemnification  and to the advancement
of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of
the  provisions  of this Article NINTH with respect to the  indemnification  and
advancement of expenses of Directors and Officers of the Corporation.

*  Filed  as  exhibits  to the  Registrant's  Proxy  Statement  relating  to the
Registrant's  January 15, 2004 annual  meeting of  stockholders,  filed with the
Commission on December 17, 2003, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.  Undertakings

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

         1. To file,  during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a  post-effective  amendment  to this  Registration  Statement  to  include  any
material  information  with  respect  to the plan  distribution  not  previously
disclosed  in  this  Registration  Statement  or any  material  change  to  such
information in this Registration Statement;



         2.  That,  for the  purpose  of  determining  any  liability  under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof;

         3. To remove from  registration by means of a post-effective  amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the Stock Option Plan and the Recognition and Retention Plan; and

         4. That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each filing of the  Registrant's  annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 that is  incorporated  by
reference  in  this  registration   statement  shall  be  deemed  to  be  a  new
registration  statement  relating to the  securities  offered  therein,  and the
offering of such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

         5.  Insofar  as  indemnification  for  liabilities  arising  under  the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers and  controlling
persons of the Registrant  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,
the  Registrant  has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission such  indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the  event  that a claim  for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by  the
Registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling
person of the  Registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered,  the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit  to a  court  of  appropriate  jurisdiction  the  question  whether  such
indemnification  by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.




                                   SIGNATURES


         The Registrant.  Pursuant to the  requirements of the Securities Act of

meets all of the  requirements  for filing on Form S-8 and has duly  caused this
Registration  Statement  on  Form  S-8  to  be  signed  on  its  behalf  by  the
undersigned,  thereunto duly authorized, in Liberty,  Missouri, on this 25th day
of March, 2004.
