Board of Directors
Cumberland Mountain Bancshares, M.H.C.
Middlesboro Federal Bank, Federal Savings Bank
1431 Cumberland Avenue
Middlesboro, Kentucky  40965

Gentlemen:

       At your request, we have completed and hereby provide an independent
appraisal of the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock which is
to be issued by Cumberland Mountain Bancshares, Inc., Middlesboro, Kentucky
("Cumberland Mountain" or the "Company"), in connection with the mutual-to-stock
conversion of Cumberland Mountain Bancshares, M.H.C. (the "Mutual Holding
Company"). The Mutual Holding Company currently has a majority ownership
interest in, and its principal asset consists of, the common stock of
Middlesboro Federal Bank, Federal Savings Bank, Middlesboro, Kentucky
("Middlesboro Federal" or the "Bank"). It is our understanding that the Company
will offer its stock in Subscription, Community and Syndicated Community
offerings to the Bank's Eligible Account Holders, to the Bank's employee stock
ownership plan ("ESOP"), to Supplemental Eligible Account Holders of the Bank,
to Other Members of the Bank, to Directors, Officers and Employees of the Bank,
to Public Stockholders, and to the community (the "Subscription and Community
Offerings"). 

       This Appraisal is furnished pursuant to the conversion regulations
promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). This Appraisal has been
prepared in accordance with the written valuation guidelines promulgated by the
OTS, most recently updated as of October 21, 1994. Specifically, this Appraisal
has been prepared in accordance with the "Guidelines for Appraisal Reports for
the Valuation of Savings and Loan Associations Converting from Mutual to Stock
Form of Organization" of the OTS, as successor to the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board ("FHLBB"), dated as of October 21, 1994; and applicable regulatory
interpretations thereof.

Description of Reorganization
- -----------------------------

       On December 12, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Bank and the Mutual
Holding Company adopted the Plan of Conversion and Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Plan") pursuant to which the Mutual Holding Company will
convert from a federally chartered mutual holding company to an Tennessee stock
corporation. In the reorganization process, to become effective concurrent with
the completion of the stock sale, which is targeted for the second calendar
quarter of 1997: (1) the Mutual Holding Company, which currently owns
approximately 64.7 percent of the Bank, will convert from mutual to stock form
and simultaneously merge with and into the Bank, with the Bank being the
surviving entity; (2) an interim savings bank ("Interim") formed by the Company
will then merge into the Bank; (3) as a result of the merger of Interim into the
Bank, the Bank will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company operating
under the name Middlesboro Federal Bank, Federal Savings Bank; and, (4) the
outstanding shares of Bank common stock, (other than those held by the Mutual
Holding Company, which will be cancelled) (the "Public Shares"), will be

converted into shares of common stock of Cumberland Mountain (the "Exchange
Shares") pursuant to a ratio that will result in the holders of such shares
owning the same percentage of the Company as they currently own of the Bank.

       Pursuant to the reorganization, Cumberland Mountain will issue shares in
the Subscription and Community Offerings that will represent an ownership
interest in the Company of approximately 64.7 percent (the same percentage
ownership that the Mutual Holding Company currently maintains in the Bank). Also
pursuant to the reorganization, Cumberland Mountain will issue the Exchange
Shares to the current minority stockholders of the Bank in exchange for the
Public Shares pursuant to an exchange ratio determined by the Board of Directors
that will maintain the current minority stockholders' existing ownership
interest (the "Exchange Ratio").

RP Financial, LC.
- -----------------

       RP Financial, LC. ("RP Financial") is a financial consulting firm that
specializes in financial valuations and analyses of business enterprises and
securities. The background and experience of RP Financial are detailed in
Exhibit V-1. We believe that, except for the fee we will receive for our
appraisal of the shares to be issued by the Company, and the preparation of and
the fee received for the regulatory business plan filed with the application, we
are independent of the Bank, the Mutual Holding Company, the Company and other
parties engaged by the Bank to assist in the stock issuance process.

Valuation Methodology
- ---------------------

       In preparing our appraisal, we have reviewed the Mutual Holding Company's
Application for Approval of Conversion, including the Proxy Statement, as filed
with the OTS and the Company's Form S-1 registration statement as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We have conducted an analysis of the
Bank and the Mutual Holding Company (hereinafter, collectively referred to as
the "Bank") that has included due diligence related discussions with the Bank's
management; Marr, Miller & Myers, PSC, the Bank's independent auditor; Housley
Kantarian & Bronstein, P.C., the Bank's conversion counsel; and Trident
Securities, Inc., which has been retained by the Bank as a financial and
marketing advisor in connection with the Company's stock offering. All
conclusions and assumptions set forth in the appraisal were reached
independently from such discussions. In addition, where appropriate, we have
considered information based on other available published sources that we
believe are reliable. While we believe the information and data gathered from
all these sources are reliable we cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness
of such information. 

       We have investigated the competitive environment within which the Bank
operates, and have assessed the Bank's relative strengths and weaknesses. We
have kept abreast of the changing regulatory and legislative environment and
analyzed the potential impact on the Bank and the industry as a whole. We have
analyzed the potential effects of the stock offering on the Bank's operating
characteristics and financial performance as they relate to the pro forma market
value of the Bank. We have reviewed the economy in the Bank's primary market
area and have compared the Bank's financial performance and condition with
selected publicly-traded thrift institutions in the Midwest region of the U.S.
We have reviewed conditions in the securities markets in general and for thrift
stocks in particular, including the market for existing thrift issues (including
both full stock institutions and institutions organized as mutual holding
companies), initial public offerings by thrifts and second step conversion
offerings.

       Our appraisal is based on the Bank's representation that the information
contained in the regulatory applications and additional information furnished to
us by the Bank and its independent auditors are truthful, accurate and complete.
We did not independently verify the financial statements and other information
provided by the Bank and its independent auditors, nor did we independently
value the individual assets or liabilities of the Bank. The valuation considers
the Bank only as a publicly-held going concern and should not be considered as
an indication of the liquidation or control values of the Bank.

       Our appraised value is predicated on a continuation of the current
operating environment for the Bank and for all thrifts. Changes in the local and
national economy, the legislative and regulatory environment, the stock market,
interest rates, and other external forces (such as natural disasters) may occur
from time to time, often with great unpredictability and may materially impact
the value of thrift stocks as a whole or the Bank's value alone. To the extent
that such factors can be foreseen, they have been factored into our analysis.

       Pro forma market value is defined as the price at which the Company's
shares would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither
being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge
of relevant facts.

Valuation Conclusion
- --------------------

       It is our opinion that, as of December 13, 1996, the aggregate pro forma
market value of the Bank and the Mutual Holding Company, inclusive of the sale
of an approximate 64.7 percent ownership interest in the Subscription and
Community Offerings, was $5,138,636 at the midpoint. Based on the range of value
set forth in the OTS conversion guidelines, the resultant valuation range equals
$4,367,841 at the minimum and $5,909,432 at the maximum. Based on this valuation
and the approximate 64.7 percent ownership interest being sold in the
Subscription and Community Offerings, the midpoint of the Company's stock
offering was $3,325,000, equal to 332,500 shares offered at a per share value of
$10.00. The resultant offering range includes a minimum of $2,826,250 and a
maximum of $3,823,750. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price, this range
equates to an offering of 282,625 shares at the minimum to 382,375 shares at the
maximum. The Company's offering also includes a provision for a super range,
which if exercised, based on a market value of $6,795,847, would result in an
offering size of $4,397,310, equal to 439,731 shares at the $10.00 per share
offering price.

Establishment of Exchange Ratio
- -------------------------------

       OTS regulations provide that in a conversion of a mutual holding company,
the minority stockholders are entitled to exchange their shares of the Bank's
common stock for common stock of the Company. The Board of Directors of the
Mutual Holding Company has independently established a formula to determine the
exchange ratio. The formula has been designed to preserve the current aggregate
percentage ownership in the Bank represented by the Public Shares, which is an
approximate 35.3 percent ownership interest. Pursuant to the formula, the
Exchange Ratio will be determined at the end of the Company's stock offering
based on the total number of shares sold in the Subscription and Community
Offerings. Based upon this formula, and the valuation conclusion and offering
range concluded above, the Exchange Ratio would be 0.8564 shares, 1.0076 shares,
1.1587 shares and 1.3325 shares of Cumberland Mountain stock issued for each
Public Share, at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and super range of the offering,
respectively.

Limiting Factors and Considerations
- -----------------------------------

       Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a
recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of the
common stock. Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based upon
estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to
change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase
shares of common stock in the initial offering will thereafter be able to sell
such shares at prices related to the foregoing valuation of the pro forma market
value. The appraisal does not take into account any trading activity with
respect to the purchase and sale of common stock in the secondary market, and
reflects only a valuation range as of this date for the pro forma market value
of the Bank immediately upon issuance of the stock.

       RP Financial's valuation was determined based on the financial condition,
operations and shares outstanding as of September 30, 1996, the date of the
financial data included in the Company's Prospectus. The proposed Exchange Ratio
and the exchange of Public Shares for newly issued Company shares was determined
independently by the Boards of Directors of the Mutual Holding Company and the
Bank. RP Financial expresses no opinion on the proposed Exchange Ratio and the
exchange of Public Shares for newly issued Company shares.

       RP Financial is not a seller of securities within the meaning of any
federal and state securities laws and any report prepared by RP Financial shall
not be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of
any securities. RP Financial maintains a policy which prohibits the company, its
principals or employees from purchasing stock of its client institutions.

       The valuation will be updated should market conditions or changes in
Middlesboro Federal's operating results warrant. The valuation will also be
updated at the completion of the Company's stock offering. These updates will
consider, among other things, any developments or changes in the Bank's
financial performance and condition, management policies, and current conditions
in the equity markets for thrift shares, both existing issues and new issues.
Also, these updates will consider changes in other external factors which impact
value including, but not limited to: various changes in the legislative and
regulatory environment (including changes in the appraisal guidelines), the
stock market and the market for thrift stocks, and interest rates. Should any
such new developments or changes be material, in our opinion, to the valuation
of the shares, appropriate adjustments to the estimated pro forma market value
will be made. The reasons for any such adjustments will be explained in the
update at the date of the release of the update.

                                                Respectfully submitted,

                      I.  Overview and Financial Analysis

       Middlesboro Federal Bank, Federal Savings Bank ("Middlesboro Federal" or
the "Bank") is a federally-chartered stock savings bank headquartered in
Middlesboro, Bell County, Kentucky. The Bank also operates a branch in the town
of Cumberland, Harlan County, Kentucky. The Bank considers its primary market
for deposits to consist of Bell and Harlan Counties, which are along the
Tennessee and Virginia borders. Lending activities are concentrated in the two
market area counties, and in Knox (including Knoxville), Union and Clairborne
Counties in upper east Tennessee, and to a lesser extent in western Lee County,
Virginia (see Exhibit I-1). The Bank was chartered as a Kentucky mutual building
and loan association in 1915, and in 1937 converted to a federal charter and
obtained federal deposit insurance. The Bank is currently a member of the
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system and is regulated by the Office of Thrift
Supervision ("OTS"). The Bank's deposits are insured up to the regulatory
maximums by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). As of September 30, 1996, the Bank
maintained $83.8 million in assets, $71.9 million in deposits and $4.4 million
in stockholders' equity, equal to 5.2 percent of assets.

       In March 1994, the Bank completed a reorganization from a mutual savings
bank to a stock savings bank concurrent with the reorganization as a federal
mutual holding company. Pursuant to the reorganization, Middlesboro Federal
transferred substantially all of its assets and liabilities to a newly-formed
stock association in exchange for 330,000 shares of stock issued to Cumberland
Mountain Bancshares, M.H.C. (the "Mutual Holding Company" or "MHC").
Simultaneously, the Bank sold 180,000 shares of stock to the public in a
subscription and community offering. As of September 30, 1996 there were 510,000
total shares of the Bank common stock issued and outstanding, of which 330,000
shares, or 64.71 percent, were owned by the Mutual Holding Company and 180,000
shares, or 35.29 percent, were owned by the public. Other than the ownership of
stock in the Bank, the MHC's only other assets are the exclusive ownership of
Home Mortgage Loan Corporation ("Home"), which was formerly a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Bank, and a deposit account. As a result of the proposed
reorganization and offering, Home and the deposit account will again be merged
with the Bank (Home will be held as a subsidiary).

       The Chairman of the Bank recently filed a change of control application
in order to acquire up to 24.9 percent of the shares. In view of the subsequent
conversion application, such change of control application is being withdrawn
and the Chairman's pro forma ownership will not exceed 9.9 percent immediately
following conversion. If the closing conversion value results in pro forma
ownership of the Company, then the Chairman will be required to divest shares
either to the ESOP or an unaffiliated third party.

Plan of Conversion and Holding Company Reorganization
- -----------------------------------------------------

       On December 12, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Bank and the Mutual
Holding Company adopted the Plan of Conversion and Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Plan") pursuant to which the Mutual Holding Company will
convert from mutual to stock form and simultaneously merge with and into the
Bank. A newly formed Tennessee corporation, Cumberland Mountain Bancshares, Inc.
("Cumberland Mountain" or the "Company"), will be formed as a unitary savings
and loan holding company to facilitate the reorganization. In the reorganization
process, to become effective concurrent with the completion of the stock sale
which is targeted for the second calendar quarter of 1997: (1) the Mutual
Holding Company, which currently owns approximately 64.7 percent of the Bank,
will convert from mutual to stock form and simultaneously merge with and into
the Bank, with the Bank being the surviving entity; (2) an interim institution
("Interim") to be formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company will then
merge into the Bank, with the Bank being the surviving entity (hereinafter
"Middlesboro Federal" or the "Bank"); (3) the publicly-owned shares of Bank
common stock (the "Public Shares") will be converted into shares of common stock
of the Company (the "Exchange Shares") pursuant to a ratio that will result in
the holders of such shares owning the same percentage of the Company as they
currently own of the Bank. Upon consummation of the conversion and
reorganization, the stock of Home and the deposit account will become assets of
the Bank.

       Pursuant to the reorganization, Cumberland Mountain will issue shares in
a subscription and community offering that will represent an ownership interest
in the Company of approximately 64.7 percent (the same percentage ownership that
the Mutual Holding Company currently maintains in the Bank). Cumberland Mountain
will also issue the Exchange Shares to the current minority stockholders of the
Bank. The number of exchange shares issued by the Company will be calculated
pursuant to an exchange ratio determined by the Board of Directors that will
maintain the current minority stockholders' existing ownership interest (the
"Exchange Ratio").

       The Company anticipates granting common stock awards to directors,
officers and other key personnel (1997 Management Recognition Plan or "1997
MRP") up to 4 percent of the shares being offered publicly, supplementing stock
awards granted in the mutual holding company reorganization (1993 MRP). The
Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") intends to purchase 3.0 percent of
the common stock to be issued and outstanding following the conversion and
reorganization, funded by a loan from the Company.

       At this time, no other activities are contemplated for Cumberland
Mountain other than the ownership of the Bank, although in the future Cumberland
Mountain may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries. Cumberland
Mountain plans to retain a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of common
stock and infuse the remaining proceeds into the Bank.

Strategic Discussion
- --------------------

       The Bank is a community-oriented financial institution dedicated to
meeting the borrowing and savings needs of its market area. The Bank has enjoyed
rapid loan growth in recent years, reflecting competitive pricing, increased
marketing and prompt loan approval. Loan growth has been facilitated through
hiring experienced loan officers on an incentive basis, developing a more
customer-oriented approach and developing business relations with real estate
brokers. The Bank has generally pursued a traditional thrift operating strategy
of 1-4 family mortgage lending primarily in Bell and Harlan Counties, Kentucky,
supplementing originations with other loan types such as commercial real estate,
construction and non-mortgage loans. Since local lending opportunities were
limited historically due to poor economic conditions and resultant population
shrinkage in the local area, the Bank increased the level of cash and
investments and mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") held in portfolio. In
addition, the Bank has originated loans in markets where it does not have a
branch location as well as purchased out-of-market loans (including Lexington,
Kentucky). Middlesboro Federal, through Home and the Bank, has originated loans
in several eastern Tennessee counties for many years, particularly in the
Knoxville, Tennessee metropolitan area and the region between Knoxville and
Middlesboro (encompassing Clairborne, Union and Knox Counties, Tennessee).
Approximately $12 million of the Bank's loans were secured by properties in Knox
County, of which $10.8 million were 1-4 family loans. In addition, approximately
$6.8 million in purchased mortgages were secured by properties in central
Kentucky, in the Lexington area. The Bank expects the majority of its loan
activity in the future to be outside Bell and Harden Counties in contiguous
markets, capitalizing on the Bank's reputation in eastern Tennessee.

       In recent years, following a management change, Middlesboro Federal has
significantly increased both the level of loan originations and the
diversification of the loan portfolio to include higher levels of commercial
real estate, construction, commercial business and consumer loans.  The recent
increase in loan originations has been funded internally through a reduction in
cash and investments and MBS, and externally through deposit growth and borrowed
funds (primarily FHLB advances).  The Bank's recent growth is seen as completing
a major phase of balance sheet and market area repositioning, and the Bank
anticipates much slower growth in the future.  Prior to the recent increase in
loan originations, Middlesboro Federal also periodically purchased out-of-market
residential and commercial real estate loans for portfolio, although such
purchases have been minimal in recent periods.  The Bank intends to sell a
portion of these previously purchased out-of-market loans and repay a portion of
outstanding FHLB advances in early 1997.  The Bank retains essentially all loans
for portfolio, as loans originated do not meet agency secondary market standards
due to the lack of title insurance on the property.

The Bank's lending strategies historically have contributed to good asset
quality in recent years, despite the severity of local economic conditions and
population shrinkage. The Bank's allowance for loan loss

 
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.4

relative to loans is comparatively low by industry standards, particularly in
view of the recent rapid growth (the portfolio has grown 140 percent since June
30, 1994), increased proportion of higher risk weight loans (an increase from 30
to 40 percent in the last 15 months while total loans grew by 55 percent), and
increased percent of loans outside the markets served by the branch offices
(approximately 59 percent). The ratio of non-performing assets ("NPAs",
consisting of real estate owned and other repossessed assets, non-accruing
loans, delinquent accruing loans and restructured loans) to assets has stayed
below 0.75 percent of assets during the last two fiscal years. The majority of
the NPAs are secured by residential mortgages or residential real estate.

       The Bank's lending strategies to limit exposure to interest rate risk
have involved originating adjustable rate residential mortgage loans ("ARMs"),
adjustable rate commercial real estate loans and shorter-term construction,
commercial business and consumer loans. Liability strategies have involved
attempts to lengthen the maturity of deposits, but short-term advances required
in recent months to meet loan demand have countered the impact. The Bank's net
portfolio value ("NPV"), prepared by the OTS as of September 30, 1996, projects
the NPV would decline by 32 percent in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis
point increase in interest rates. Middlesboro Federal anticipates the conversion
proceeds will facilitate improvement in the NPV analysis as the capital will
increase the ratio of interest-earning assets ("IEA") to interest-bearing
liabilities ("IBL") and the proceeds will increase the proportion of shorter-
term or adjustable rate assets. Further, the proceeds from the pending loan sale
are targeted to repay the short-term advances.

       The Bank's core profitability has improved with the asset growth and
repositioning which has taken place over the last few years.  There has been
improvement from a break-even position in fiscal 1992 to low to moderate core
profitability more recently (ranging from 25 to 35 basis points), primarily due
to an increase in the net interest margin.  Further improvement in core
profitability has been limited by competitive pricing to stimulate growth, and
increases in the operating expense ratio despite the rapid growth in assets.
Non-operating losses over the last couple of years have contributed to lower
reported profitability, with the most recent trailing 12 month period reflecting
a loss due to one-time compensation expenses and the special SAIF assessment.
Future core profitability is projected to improve moderately with the
reinvestment benefit of the new capital raised, income benefits of recently
expanded products and services and moderate growth in assets without a
commensurate increase in operating expenses.  As a result of the recent loss,
low profitability and the negative impact of assets designated available for
sale ("AFS"), the Bank's equity at September 30, 1996 is very similar to the
level at June 30, 1994, and no interim dividends have been paid on the publicly-
held shares of common stock.

       Middlesboro Federal's Board of Directors has determined that a full
conversion to stock form is an attractive business strategy for several reasons.
First, the new structure will provide the ability to diversify business
activities, provide greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions and increase
the future access to capital

Page 1.5

markets. Second, it will provide the capital necessary to improve the overall
competitive position of the Bank in its market area, with regard to rates and
services offered and ability to expand. Third, an increase in the publicly-held
shares may increase the stock liquidity (there is currently very limited trading
in Middlesboro Federal's stock). Fourth, the conversion may provide the
opportunity for expanded local stock ownership which could enhance the financial
success of the Bank as local shareholders promote the Bank's products and
services. Furthermore, the new structure is being pursued in view of certain
regulatory uncertainties regarding the MHC structure and thrift industry as a
whole. As disclosed in the prospectus, the proceeds from stock conversion are
anticipated to be invested as follows.

             be retained by Cumberland Mountain, with the balance to be invested
             in the Bank. Such holding company funds are anticipated to be
             invested initially into high-quality short- to intermediate-term
             securities and a loan to the Bank's ESOP to fund stock purchases in
             the conversion. The Company funds will be utilized for various
             corporate purposes, including funding expansion through
             diversification or acquisition, stock repurchase programs, funding
             stock purchases for the MRP and/or payment of regular or special
             dividends, although there are no specific plans at present.

       .     Middlesboro Federal.  The net proceeds infused into the Bank will
             --------------------                                              
             be exchanged for all of the Bank's newly issued stock. The Bank's
             proceeds are anticipated to initially be held in short-term cash
             and investments until such funds are redeployed into lending and
             investment activities consistent with the Bank's plan.

       On a pro forma basis, Middlesboro Federal is expected to have a capital
ratio well above regulatory requirements but moderately below industry averages.
The Board of Directors has determined to pursue a strategy of controlled growth
in order to maintain well-capitalized status, with growth expected to be funded
primarily through local retail deposit growth.

Balance Sheet Trends
- --------------------

       Table 1.1 shows key balance sheet items at the close of the last five
fiscal years and at September 30, 1996. Middlesboro Federal's audited financial
statements are incorporated by reference as Exhibit I-2, while historical key
operating ratios are presented in Exhibit I-3. From June 30, 1992 through
September 30, 1996, Middlesboro Federal exhibited annual asset growth of 9.0
percent, with the asset growth channelled into increases in loans receivable. A
majority of the loan growth occurred subsequent to June 30, 1994, when the new
current President became more involved in the Bank's operations and began
diversifying the loan portfolio into higher originations of commercial real
estate and non-mortgage loans. The MBS balance has decreased by approximately 50
percent since 1992, as repayments and sales of MBS have been used for additional
loan originations. The balance of cash and investments declined more rapidly
over the same time period, with funds

utilized in the lending operations.  Middlesboro Federal's annual deposit growth
totaled 6.5 percent, as the Bank has attracted new funds through a combination
of additional advertising and competitive rate offerings.  Borrowings (primarily
FHLB advances) have been used as a supplemental funding source in fiscal 1996 to
support lending operations.

       The balance of loans receivable increased consistently since fiscal 1992,
although the balance increased at an annual rate of 48 percent since June 30,
1994.  Since that time, the Bank has been successful in expanding its loan
origination efforts in the local market and in Tennessee, particularly the
Knoxville area.  The Bank has increased the level of commercial real estate,
commercial business and consumer loans, with most of those loan types originated
in Bell and Harlan Counties.  At September 30, 1996, loans receivable totaled
$69.4 million, or 82.8 percent of total assets.  The composition of the loan
portfolio reflects the more recent diversified lending strategy, as 1-4 family
permanent loans constituted $43.7 million, or 60.3 percent of the gross loan
portfolio, at September 30, 1996, a decline from 70 percent of the loan
portfolio as of one year earlier.  At the same date, construction loans totaled
$4.2 million, or 5.8 percent of the loan portfolio.  The largest expansion in
the loan portfolio has occurred in commercial real estate, including multi-
family loans, which totaled $13.2 million, or 18.2 percent of the loan
portfolio.  These loans are attractive for their higher yields and shorter-
terms.  Non-mortgage loans totaled $11.3 million, or 15.6 percent of gross loans
receivable, including $4.5 million of commercial business loans.  The Bank has
primarily originated commercial business loans with local businesses in Bell and
Harlan Counties.

       MBS totaled $7.7 million at September 30, 1996, the second largest
component of interest-earning assets. The decline of the MBS balance since
fiscal year end 1992 highlights the Bank's strategy of investing funds into
whole loans receivable in order to improve asset yields, as funds from the
repayment, pre-payment and sale of MBS have been utilized for lending
activities. The MBS portfolio consists of FNMA and GNMA pass-through
certificates, of which approximately 57 percent carried adjustable rates. The
entire MBS portfolio was classified as "available for sale" ("AFS") at September
30, 1996, and is carried on the balance sheet at market value. Pursuant to FAS
122, the unrealized pretax loss on the MBS portfolio of $248,000 was tax-
adjusted and deducted from stated equity on the Bank's audited financial
statements. The Bank utilizes a portion of its MBS portfolio to satisfy
regulatory liquidity requirements, preferring to maintain such funds in MBS
instead of lower yielding cash and investments. Going forward, the Bank intends
to continue a focus on investment into whole loans, although MBS may be
purchased with available funds.

       The portfolio of cash and investment securities totaled $4.9 million, or
5.9 percent of assets, at September 30, 1996 (see Exhibit I-4). The cash and
investments portfolio consisted of cash and equivalents, including interest-
earning deposits in other financial institutions ($0.8 million), U.S. Government
and agency securities ($2.7 million), investment in a U.S Government Securities
Fund ($0.9 million), FHLB stock ($0.4

million) and other investments ($0.1 million). Over the past four fiscal years,
the Bank has used cash flow from maturing investments or sales of investment
securities to fund loan originations, and the cash and investments portfolio has
declined to current levels from $18.4 million at June 30, 1992. Management
utilizes the portfolio of cash and investments for liquidity purposes and as
part of the asset-liability management strategy, as the investments portfolio
consists of short- to intermediate-term instruments. The Bank classifies the
portfolio of U.S. government and agency obligations as "available-for-sale", and
as of September 30, 1996, an unrealized pretax loss of $195,000 was tax adjusted
and deducted from stated equity on the Bank's audited financial statements.
Going forward, the Bank intends to continue to purchase generally low risk
investments and the composition of the cash and investments portfolio is not
anticipated to change significantly, although the level will initially increase
on a post-conversion basis.

       As noted previously, deposits have traditionally met most of the Bank's
funding needs, and all of the Bank's deposits are generated through its two
office locations. In the last several years, the Bank achieved growth in
deposits by attempting to be more visible in the local market area through
advertising and other marketing efforts and by offering competitive rates. This
strategy facilitated deposit growth, but also eroded spreads as higher cost
deposits increased funding costs. Currently, savings rates offered by
Middlesboro Federal are generally in line with the local competition, with
certificates of deposits ("CDs") accounting for the majority of total deposits.
The Bank has a portfolio of core deposits totaling approximately 26 percent of
deposits, providing a base of lower costing deposits for operations.

       Borrowings have also been used by the Bank in recent periods for the
purpose of funding loan originations. During fiscal 1996, the Bank borrowed
approximately $1.0 million in short- to intermediate-term advances from the FHLB
of Cincinnati to meet the strong demand for loans. An additional $5.0 million
was borrowed during the most recent three month period, and FHLB advances
totaled $6.0 million, or 7.2 percent of assets, at September 30, 1996. All of
the borrowings are short term in nature, repricing on a daily basis. Going
forward, the Bank intends to continue using borrowings to support operations,
although deposits are expected to continue to comprise the majority of funding
liabilities.

       Positive earnings from fiscal 1992 to fiscal 1994 and proceeds from the
minority stock offering concurrent with the MHC reorganization in fiscal 1994
resulted in an increase in the Bank's capital ratio to $4.3 million, or 7.0
percent of assets, as of June 30, 1996. Since that date, the expansion of the
asset base, coupled with the lower profitability, a negative adjustment to
equity for FAS 122, and a net loss recorded for the twelve months ended
September 30, 1996 caused the Bank's capital ratio to decline to 5.2 percent
(the Bank's reported capital had increased by only $40,000, or 0.9 percent since
June 30, 1994). Middlesboro Federal is currently in compliance with respect to
all of its fully phased-in capital requirements. The addition of

conversion proceeds will enhance the Bank's capital position and strengthen
Middlesboro Federal's competitive posture within its market area.

Income and Expense Trends
- -------------------------

       Table 1.2 displays the Bank's earnings over the past five fiscal years
and for the twelve months ended September 30, 1996. The Bank recorded low to
moderate profitable operations through fiscal 1996, and a loss of $152,000 for
the twelve months ended September 30, 1996, reflecting several non-operating
expense items. Earnings for the past five fiscal years have fluctuated between
0.20 and 0.45 percent of average assets, and declined to 0.20 percent for fiscal
1996 from the higher level in fiscal 1995. The more recent lower earnings have
been attributable to a lower net interest margin, adversely affected by higher
interest expense. The reinvestment of offering proceeds should improve net
interest income in future periods.

       Exhibit I-5 highlights the changes in the Bank's asset yields and cost of
funds over the past two fiscal years and the three months ended September 30,
1996, which have influenced the level of net interest income. Spreads narrowed
by 42 basis points between fiscal 1995 and 1996, as the more aggressive pricing
of CDs and higher costing FHLB advances (in order to fund additional loan
demand) increased the Bank's cost of funds by 86 basis points, while asset
yields increased by only 44 basis points. The change in balance sheet
composition towards higher yielding loans increased the yield/cost spread for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 to 2.85 percent, 68 basis points
higher than the year earlier period. The effect of the higher ratio of loans
receivable is also evident in the most recent twelve month period (see Table
1.2), as the Bank's net interest income improved to 2.76 percent of average
assets versus 1.96 percent for fiscal 1992. These trends indicate that the Bank
has been successful improving the net interest margin, even while funding costs
have risen substantially. Despite balance sheet repositioning, the Bank's net
interest income is still highly influenced by changes in interest rates.

       The Bank has increasingly derived more income from non-interest sources,
which has provided some protection from changes in the net interest margin due
to interest rate fluctuations. For the most recent twelve month period, non-
interest operating income totaled $0.363 million, or 0.49 percent of average
assets, a 0.20 percent of average assets improvement from fiscal 1992. A
majority of this income results from the Bank's lending operations, whereby loan
origination income is recognized at the time of origination (the Bank generally
does not charge points, and had no deferred loan origination fees on the books
as of September 30, 1996). This loan origination income is directly related to
the Bank's lending volume and was substantial for the most recent period due to
high lending volumes. Such income may likely decline during periods of lower
lending volume. Other operating income consists of various loan and deposit fees
and charges and other

miscellaneous sources of income.  Going forward, the Bank anticipates that non-
interest income will remain primarily related to loan origination volume, as
other income sources are not expected to be developed (the Bank does not have a
loans serviced for others portfolio, and does not intend to sell loans servicing
released).

       Middlesboro Federal's operating expenses have increased in the time
period shown in Table 1.2 due to the growth in the asset base. Despite the
strong asset growth and utilization of FHLB advances to partially fund such
growth, the operating expense ratio has ratcheted up to a higher level as a
percent of average assets. The Bank's operating expenses are expected to
initially increase following the conversion as a result of the following items.
First, the Bank is in process of completing an expansion of the main office to
house additional staff and equipment required to support the current higher
asset level, which is expected to result in higher depreciation expense. Second,
Middlesboro Federal expects to open a branch office in Pineville, Bell County,
Kentucky in the near future following regulatory approval. Although this branch
will be a "supermarket branch" requiring lower investment than a free-standing
facility, equipment and personnel expenses will increase, particularly until an
adequate deposit base can be generated. Third, the ESOP and MRP purchases in the
offering and in the year following conversion, respectively, will increase
annual expenses. In addition, as a full stock institution, the Bank may incur
additional legal, accounting, printing/mailing and related costs. The lower
deposit insurance premium in 1997 should help to offset some of these increases.

       Loan loss provisions have generally had a small impact on earnings in
recent years, peaking during the twelve months ended September 30, 1996, as the
Bank recorded provisions for loan losses of $0.085 million, or 0.11 percent of
average assets. The Bank is budgeting provisions of $30,000 per quarter for the
next three calendar quarters, a higher quarterly amount than the last 12 months,
in order to improve the general valuation allowance ("GVA") ratio as a percent
of loans receivable. As of September 30, 1996 the GVA balance was equal to
$195,000, or 0.28 percent of net loans receivable and 43.33 percent of NPLs
(including restructured loans), as compared to $148,000, or 0.33 percent of net
loans and 59.20 percent of NPLs at fiscal year end 1995 (see Exhibit I-6).

       Historically, non-operating gains and losses have been limited to gains
or losses on the sale of investment securities or MBS that were sold to fund
loan originations (see Table 1.2). During the most recent twelve month period,
Middlesboro Federal has experienced a number of non-operating expenses that
resulted in a reported loss for the twelve months ended September 30, 1996. The
Bank funded a deferred compensation agreement in the amount of $143,000 for a
former officer who retired during fiscal 1996. Middlesboro Federal also funded a
directors retirement plan ("DRP") during the most recent three month period,
resulting in a charge to income of $145,000. This DRP is fully funded as of
September 30, 1996, except for three directors who will receive additional
percentage vesting after a number of years of service. Finally, the Bank
incurred a pre-tax charge of $388,000 for the special SAIF insurance premium
assessment fee at September 30, 1996.

Interest Rate Risk Management
- -----------------------------

       Middlesboro Federal attempts to manage exposure to interest rate
fluctuations primarily on the asset side of the balance sheet, and has attempted
to enhance the interest sensitivity of its operations through several means,
including: (1) increasing the portfolio of ARMs held in the loan portfolio; (2)
originating shorter-term fixed-rate residential mortgages (10 to 15 year terms)
and fixed-rate balloon loans for portfolio; (3) maintaining an MBS portfolio
containing securities that reprice on an annual basis; (4) holding short-term
investment securities; (5) increasing the balance of short-term to maturity
commercial business loans and consumer loans; and (6) increasing the proportion
of transaction accounts in the deposit base which are believed to be less
interest rate sensitive funds. Exhibit I-7 displays the distribution of the
Bank's fixed and adjustable rate loans.

       Middlesboro Federal monitors its exposure to interest rate risk using the
net portfolio value ("NPV") analysis provided by the OTS on a quarterly basis.
As shown in Exhibit I-8, according to the most recent NPV report provided by the
OTS, the Bank's NPV would decline by approximately 32 percent in the event of a
200 basis point instantaneous and sustained rise in interest rates. In the event
interest rates declined by 200 basis points, the Bank's NPV would increase by 15
percent. Although these measures are within the Board-established limits of the
Bank, the Bank is seeking to reduce exposure to interest rate risk, and the
reinvestment of conversion proceeds is expected to contribute to reduced
exposure.

Lending Activities and Strategy
- -------------------------------

       The Bank's historical lending activities emphasize the origination of 1-4
family mortgage loans (see Exhibits I-9 and I-10, loan composition and
maturity). However, the Bank has also concentrated on loan portfolio
diversification by building portfolios of commercial real estate loans,
construction loans and non-mortgage loans. Underscoring the change in portfolio
composition, while gross loans increased from $46.7 million at June 30, 1995 to
$72.5 million at September 30, 1996, the proportion of 1-4 family loans dropped
from 70.2 percent to 60.3 percent. The Bank's credit risk profile has increased
over that time period through limited seasoning on a large portion of the
portfolio and increased concentration of higher risk weight loans.

       As of September 30, 1996, residential mortgage loans secured by 1-4
family properties totaled $43.7 million, or 60.3 percent of total loans
receivable. The estimated average balance is $85,000. The Bank originates both
ARMs and fixed-rate residential mortgages. Fixed-rate mortgages are offered with
maturities of up to 15 or 20 years, with essentially all of these loans held in
portfolio.

       Approximately 77.4 percent of the Bank's 1-4 family residential mortgages
consisted of ARMs at September 30, 1996.  Middlesboro Federal offers ARMs with
one-, three-, five- or seven-year adjustment 

 
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.13

periods that are indexed to the weekly average rate on the corresponding U.S.
Treasury securities, adjusted to a constant maturity. The majority of ARMs are
originated with annual adjustment caps of 2.0 percent, and lifetime adjustment
caps of up to 6.0 percentage points. The current margin is 3.0 percentage
points. ARMs are retained for portfolio as part of asset/liability management
strategy.

       Residential loans made by the Bank are generally originated with maximum
loan-to-value ("LTV") ratios of 80 percent. The Bank recently began originating
loans with LTV ratios in excess of 80 percent provided that the borrower pays a
fee to the Bank that equals the private mortgage insurance ("PMI") premium
payment. Thus, the Bank is not requiring PMI coverage for these loans, but is
receiving a fee which is not recognized as income immediately but is placed in
GVAs. Middlesboro Federal has incurred minimal losses from this practice to
date.

       Middlesboro Federal has recently increased the level of originations of
commercial real estate loans, primarily non-residential real estate. As of
September 30, 1996, multi-family real estate loans totaled $1.9 million, while
non-residential real estate loans totaled $11.4 million, for a total of $13.2
million, or 18.2 percent of gross loans receivable. The Bank's commercial real
estate portfolio consists of loans secured by churches, motels, office
buildings, retail stores, small shopping centers and other non-residential
property. Commercial real estate loans originated by Middlesboro Federal are
predominantly adjustable rate loans that generally have terms of up to 15 years,
and are indexed to the prime rate of interest. LTVs on income property loans
typically do not exceed 75 percent, while loans on raw land do not exceed 65
percent LTV. The Bank seeks to manage credit risk on such loans by lending
primarily on local property, to borrowers with whom management is familiar, and
obtaining personal guarantees. The largest aggregate amount of loans to any one
borrower was $1.2 million, consisting of 9 loans secured by residential
properties. The largest single loan outstanding was an $850,000 loan secured by
a grocery store.

       Construction loans totaled $4.2 million, or 5.8 percent of gross loans
receivable, at September 30, 1996, for both residential property ($3.0 million)
and multi-family/non-residential property ($1.2 million).  The Bank has recently
been active in construction lending, in particular to builders for the
construction of speculative homes, although going forward construction lending
is expected to decline substantially, as the Bank has determined to concentrate
on permanent residential property.  Construction loans are structured as
interest-only during the construction period, which generally equals six months.
Approximately one half of the construction loans originated by the Bank convert
into permanent loans upon completion of the construction phase.  Construction
loans have maximum LTV ratios equal to the requirements of the permanent loans.

       Middlesboro Federal has also actively originated consumer loans, which
totaled $6.9 million, or 9.5 percent of gross loans receivable, at September 30,
1996. The Bank offers a variety of types of consumer loans,

 
RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.14

including loans secured by deposit accounts, automobile, secured and unsecured
personal loans and credit card loans. The most prominent type of consumer loan
in the portfolio is automobile. The Bank considers automobile loans attractive
due to generally higher yields and shorter terms, despite the higher credit
risk. Credit risk is managed by limiting the maximum terms on automobile loans
and other security.

       Commercial business loans also represent an area of loan portfolio
diversification for Middlesboro Federal.  As of September 30, 1996, the Bank had
$4.5 million of commercial business loans, a dramatic increase from $0.9 million
as of June 30, 1995.  These loans are primarily made to local small businesses
in Bell and Harlan Counties, and are attractive due to the higher yields.  The
Bank has been able to increase the portfolio of such loans due to personal
contacts by Bank employees in the local communities, although the level of such
loans is not projected to increase substantially in the future.  Commercial
business loans usually carry a floating rate indexed to the prime rate and
generally have a 15 year term, and are secured by assets such as inventory,
equipment or other assets and guaranteed by the principals.

       As shown in Exhibit I-11, Middlesboro Federal's overall loan origination
volume increased from $23.3 million in 1995 to $40.9 million for the most recent
twelve months. The table highlights the Bank's increased emphasis on commercial
real estate, construction, commercial business and consumer lending, with
originations increasing from $10.7 million, or 45.6 percent, of loan
originations in fiscal 1995 to $24.5 million, or 60.0 percent of loan
originations for the twelve months ended September 30, 1996. In prior years, the
Bank supplemented originations with purchases, particularly from a single
mortgage broker in Lexington, Kentucky. Purchases declined with an increase in
the Bank's originations and applying more stringent standards than for
originated loans.

Asset Quality
- -------------

       Exhibit I-12 displays Middlesboro Federal's NPLs from fiscal 1995 to
September 30, 1996, and shows that the level of NPLs has remained between 0.57
and 0.67 percent of total loans, although the absolute balance has increased.
Since the Bank had no real estate owned ("REO") at September 30, 1996, the
balance of NPAs and NPLs was the same. As of September 30, 1996, the ratio of
NPAs to assets equaled 0.54 percent of assets, up from 0.20 percent of assets at
fiscal year end 1995. At September 30, 1996, NPAs totaled $450,000 and consisted
of residential loans and a small balance of consumer loans ($17,000) greater
than 90 days delinquent. As of September 30, 1996, the Bank maintained valuation
allowances of $195,000, equal to 0.27 percent of gross loans receivable and
43.33 percent of NPLs. Middlesboro Federal had classified assets of $408,000 at
September 30, 1996 (see Exhibit I-13), similar to the balance of NPLs.

Funding Composition and Strategy
- --------------------------------

       Exhibits I-14 and I-15 provide data pertaining to Middlesboro Federal's
deposit composition and costs at fiscal year ends 1995 and 1996 and as of
September 30, 1996. Exhibit I-16 displays information regarding the Bank's
borrowings. Middlesboro Federal's deposits consist of CD accounts, which totaled
$53.5 million, or 74.4 percent of total deposits, and a base of core deposits
(passbook accounts, NOW accounts, non-interest checking accounts, and MMDAs)
which totaled $18.4 million, or 25.6 percent of total deposits. Passbook
accounts were the largest component of core deposits and totaled $8.8 million,
or 12.2 percent of total deposits, at September 30, 1996, followed by NOW
accounts totaling $7.1 million, and non-interest bearing checking accounts
totaling $2.1 million. Going forward, the Bank intends to try to increase the
deposit base to fund lending operations.

       CDs accounted for the majority of Middlesboro Federal's deposit base
(74.4 percent) at September 30, 1996. Approximately 48 percent of the CD
portfolio was scheduled to mature in one year or less. Jumbo CDs, which tend to
be more rate sensitive than lower balance CDs, accounted for $9.6 million, or
18.0 percent of deposits, at September 30, 1996. The level of jumbo CDs in the
Bank's CD portfolio is significant in that jumbo CDs tend to be more rate
sensitive than smaller denomination CDs, increasing the Bank's interest rate
risk to a degree.

Subsidiary Operations
- ---------------------

       The Bank currently does not have any subsidiary operations. Prior to the
formation of the Mutual Holding Company, the Bank had one subsidiary, MFS&L
Service Corporation ("MFS&L"). From 1988 to June 30, 1992, MFS&L participated in
joint ventures for the purpose of acquiring, developing, constructing and
selling single family residential real estate and held stock in the Bank's data
processing provider. MFS&L discontinued such activity in June 1992. In
connection with the MHC formation, MFS&L became a MHC subsidiary and was renamed
Home Mortgage Loan Corporation ("Home"). As a result of the proposed formation
of the Company and conversion, Home will again become a subsidiary of the Bank.
Activities of Home are limited at present and the primary assets consist of
seasoned loans made prior to June 1992.

Legal Proceedings
- -----------------

       Other than the routine legal proceedings that occur in the Bank's
ordinary course of business, the Bank is not involved in litigation which is
expected to have a material impact on the Bank's financial condition or
operations.

                               II.  MARKET AREA
Introduction
- ------------

     Middlesboro Federal conducts operations out of its headquarters office in
Middlesboro, Bell County, Kentucky, and a branch office in Cumberland, Harlan
County, Kentucky.  Both counties are located in extreme southeastern Kentucky
along the Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee borders, with Harlan County located
northeast  of Bell County.  The Bank had previously operated a small branch
office located in an enclosed mall in Middlesboro which was closed during fiscal
year 1995.  Exhibit I-1 details the locations of the Bank's offices, while
Exhibit II-1 details the general characteristics of the Bank's offices.  The
Bank plans to open a new branch office facility in Pineville, Kentucky during
1997.  This branch office will be a "supermarket branch" facility in Pineville,
the county seat of Bell County.  The city of Middlesboro, containing
approximately 12,000 residents or one-third of the total Bell County population,
serves as the economic and employment center of Bell County, while Cumberland,
Harlan County, is a smaller town of approximately 3,000 residents.  Both
counties are rural in nature, with Harlan County maintaining a significant
concentration of employment in coal mining and Bell County having a more
diversified employment base.  Both counties experienced economic distress in the
past fifteen years due to the decline in employment in the coal mining industry,
and have thus decreased the dependence on coal mining for employment.

     Bell and Harlan Counties represent the Bank's primary market area for
deposit generation as most of Middlesboro Federal's depositors live in these
counties. Lending activities are concentrated in these two counties and in
Clairborne, Union and Knox Counties in upper east Tennessee and in western Lee
County in Virginia. Knox County, Tennessee is the location of the city of
Knoxville, the largest metropolitan area in proximity to Middlesboro Federal,
while Union County is a growing suburban and rural area to the north of
Knoxville. To a lesser extent, lending activities are also pursued in Sullivan
and Washington Counties, Tennessee, which contain the cities of Kingsport,
Johnson City and Bristol. Bell and Harlan Counties, the location of the Bank's
offices, are not included in any regional metropolitan statistical area ("MSA").

     The Bank's offices operate in a market area with declining levels of
population and households. The Bell and Harlan County economies, historically
based on coal mining, were severely impacted by the decline of the coal mining
industry in the 1980s as the coal industry became more mechanized and required
fewer laborers. The two county areas have historically reported high
unemployment levels and high poverty rates in comparison to national averages.
The Bell County economy has diversified in recent years to include employment in
manufacturing, health care, education, and local/state government. Harlan County
continues to have significant employment in coal mining although some
diversification has occurred.

     Competition from other financial institutions operating in Bell and Harlan
Counties includes four commercial banks and three other savings institutions,
with three of the commercial banks and one of the savings institutions having a
larger presence than Middlesboro Federal.  The Bank maintains a market share of
approximately eight percent of overall financial institution deposits in Bell
County and twelve percent of deposits in Harlan County.  Similar to the Bank,
the other financial institutions are locally-owned community-oriented banks and
savings institutions.  Middlesboro Federal has experienced growth in deposits
and market share in recent years due in part to an increased emphasis on
marketing the Bank's products and services.  However, competition remains high
in the marketplace.

     Future business and growth opportunities for Middlesboro Federal will be
partially influenced by economic and demographic characteristics of the market
served, particularly the future growth and stability of the regional economy,
demographic growth trends, and the nature and intensity of the competitive
environment for financial institutions.  These factors have been briefly
examined in the following pages to help determine the growth potential that
exists for the Bank and the relative economic health of the market area, and the
related impact on value.

National Economic Factors
- -------------------------

     Over the past year, national economic growth has been mixed.  Economic data
through most of the fourth quarter of 1995 suggested that the economy was on
track for a soft landing, as indicated by modest retail sales growth and a
stable inflation picture.  Weak retail sales during the holiday shopping season
and a slight increase in the November unemployment rate provided indications of
a slowing national economy at the end of the fourth quarter.  Economic data
released in January 1996 continued to indicate a generally sluggish economy, as
highlighted by the Federal Reserve's mid-January "Beige Book" report which
indicated slowing economic growth in its latest nationwide survey of economic
conditions.  Record-breaking winter weather conditions further slowed the
economy in January of 1996.  Unemployment declined sharply in February, although
the January figures were skewed by the weather and by striking GM workers.  A
stronger than expected March 1996 employment report served to rekindle inflation
fears, while other economic indicators suggested that the pace of economic
growth was moderate and inflation was under control.

 
RP Financial, LC.
Page 2.3


     Higher oil and commodity prices heightened inflation concerns in late-April
1996; however, wages, which account for most of the inflation measures, did not
signal that inflation was heating up.  Unemployment data for both May and June
suggested a strong pace of economic growth, with the stronger than expected job
growth pushing interest rates higher.  Second quarter GDP increased at a healthy
4.7 percent annual rate, however, other economic measures, such as consumer and
producer prices, reflected a more modest pace of economic growth.

     The third quarter of 1996 started with a continuation of second quarter
trends, although mid-July Congressional testimony by the Federal Reserve
Chairman hinted of expectations that the economy would taper off slightly in the
second half of 1996. However, much of the economic data released during July and
August continued to indicate a fairly robust pace of economic growth. Such
economic data included a stronger than expected increase in July durable good
orders, the consumer confidence index hitting a six year high and a decline in
the August unemployment rate. Comparatively, for the balance of the third
quarter, economic data, such as a decline in August durable good orders and
smaller than expected increases in August retail sales and consumer prices,
suggested that the economy was cooling off. A slight increase in the September
unemployment rate further signaled a slowing economy.

     Economic data released in the beginning of the fourth quarter generally
confirmed that the national economy was slowing.  October unemployment remained
at 5.2 percent, although the number of new jobs being added to the economy was
lower compared to job growth recorded during the late-spring and the summer.
Third quarter GDP growth fell to a 2.2 percent annual rate, versus a comparative
4.7 percent rate in the second quarter.  Wage data indicated that inflation was
under control, as wages remained flat for production and nonsupervisory workers
in October, despite a $0.50 increase in the minimum wage becoming effective on
October 1, 1996.  Modest increases in the October consumer price index and
October retail sales provided further indications that the national economy was
slowing.  While the November unemployment rate climbed to 5.4 percent from 5.2
percent in October, inflation concerns were heightened somewhat by an
unexpectedly sharp $0.09 jump in average hourly earnings.  Subsequent data for
November and early December continued to reflect a slow growth economy, although
retail sales for the 1996 holiday season are expected to exceed the prior year
levels.

     Consistent with the mixed economic activity, interest rate trends have been
varied as well over the past year.  Interest rates generally trended lower in
the fourth quarter of 1995, due to the slowing of the economy.  The sluggish
economy and a 0.25 percent cut in short-term interest rates by the Federal
Reserve pushed the yield on 30-year U.S. Government bond to slightly below 6.0
percent at year end 1995.  Following another 0.25 percent rate cut by the
Federal Reserve in January 1996, interest rates moved higher during the balance
of

Page 2.4


the first quarter. The upward trend in interest rates reflected generally
improving economic conditions and indications that the Fed would not cut
interest rates further due to mixed inflation signals.

     Interest rates continued to edge higher during the second quarter and the
30-year U.S. Government bond yield climbed above 7.0 percent following the
stronger than expected May job growth reported in early-June. The favorable June
employment report had a more severe effect on bond prices, as the large drop in
unemployment provided for one of the largest one day declines in bond prices
with the yield on the 30-year benchmark bond increasing from 6.93 percent to
7.18 percent. During the balance of third quarter, economic data which contained
mixed inflation signals provided for an uneven interest rate environment. After
trending lower for a brief period in July and August, another spike in interest
rates was experienced in late-August and early-September as inflation concerns
were raised by the stronger than expected economic growth. Comparatively, aided
by the Federal Reserve's decision not to raise interest rates at its October and
November meetings, along with economic data providing indications of a cooling
economy, interest rates declined in late-September and October. Interest rates
continued to edge lower through early December, as the October economic data
suggested that inflationary pressures were non-threatening. Bond prices declined
slightly in early-December, as investors focused on weakness in the dollar and
rising oil prices. As of December 13, 1996, one- and thirty-year U.S. Government
bonds were yielding 5.43 percent and 6.57 percent, respectively. Exhibit II-2
provides historical interest rate trends from 1991 through December 13, 1996.

Market Area Demographics
- ------------------------

     Demographic growth trends in the Bank's primary market area of Bell and
Harlan Counties have been measured by changes in population, number of
households and median household income and other data, with trends in those
areas summarized by the data presented in Exhibit II-3. Kentucky and U.S. data
is provided for comparative purposes, and trends in this data provide some
indication of future levels of business activities for financial institutions.

     The Bank offices are located in a relatively small market area in terms of
population, as Bell and Harlan Counties reported a total population of
approximately 67,000 as of 1996. Since 1980, both Bell and Harlan Counties have
experienced declines in population and households, in part reflecting the
decline of the coal mining industry. The rural nature of the two counties also
restricts employment opportunities and resultant attractiveness for residents,
and the decline in population and households is projected to continue through
the year 2001. The Commonwealth of Kentucky has reported population and
household growth rates in line with national averages of approximately 1.0
percent annually. Growth in these demographic areas is projected to continue
through the year 2001.

 
RP Financial, LC.
Page 2.5


     The rural nature of the primary market area also results in lower income
levels in comparison to statewide and national averages. Estimated per capita
annual income for 1996 in Bell and Harlan Counties is less than $8,500, over 35
percent less that statewide averages and approximately one-half of the national
average of $16,738. Age distribution figures show that the two market area
counties have a higher proportion of residents over 65 years of age, although
the median ages for Bell and Harlan Counties approximate the Kentucky average.
Income distribution levels are similar to per capita income figures, revealing
that the two market area counties have a higher proportion of lower income
households (below $15,000 annually), reflecting the more rural nature of the
area. Median household income levels are approximately 40 percent lower than the
state averages and 60 percent less than national averages. Based on the
declining population trends and lower income levels, growth opportunities in the
primary market area counties can be expected to be limited, with growth
achievable only through increased market share of local financial institution
deposits. 

Economy
- -------

     As most of the Bank's deposit gathering activities and a portion of the
lending operations are conducted in Bell and Harlan Counties, the Bank's market
area economy is dominated by these two counties. Employment in Bell County is
generally diversified, containing employment in retail trade, services, state
and local government, mining and manufacturing. Employment in Harlan County
continues to be led by mining, followed by services, state and local government
and retail trade. Reflecting the decline in the coal mining industry, between
1989 and 1994, mining employment in Harlan County dropped by approximately 30
percent, or over 1,000 jobs, although a portion of these jobs have been lost
through increased mechanization of the coal mining process. Recent data
indicates that mining employment totaled over 20 percent of Harlan County's
employment base. Table 2.1 displays a list of manufacturing and other employers
in Bell and Harlan Counties, and Exhibit II-4 presents additional data
concerning sources of personal income and employment sectors. Major coal mining
employers in Harlan County include Manalapan Mining, Arch Minerals and Gray's
Knob Coal Company. The Bank also pursues lending activities in the Knoxville,
Tennessee area (Knox County), including Union County to the north of Knoxville.
This area represents a substantially larger population base for lending
opportunities and economic activity. For example, the total population of Knox
County, Tennessee approximated 336,000 as of 1996. Knoxville is a large
metropolitan area in eastern Tennessee along a major transportation route.

     Table 2.2 displays unemployment data in the local market area as of
September 1996 and September 1995. The unemployment rates for Bell and Harlan
Counties remain well above state and national averages, although the employment
situation has improved in the most recent twelve month period. This data
reflects in part the continued decline of the coal mining industry in the
primary market area, and the overall lack of employment opportunities in the
rural market area. The higher unemployment rates in Bell and Harlan Counties are
also significant in light of the ongoing population declines in the two market
area counties. Such lower population figures would be expected to reduce upward
pressure on the unemployment rate as residents leave the local area for other
employment opportunities.

Deposit Trends and Competition
- ------------------------------

     Middlesboro Federal's market area (defined as Bell and Harlan Counties for
deposits), is characterized by the presence of a number of locally-based and
locally-owned financial institutions, including commercial banks and savings
institutions.  There are two commercial banks in Bell County, both of which are
slightly larger in overall deposits than Middlesboro Federal, and two commercial
banks in Harlan County, one moderately larger and one moderately smaller than
the Bank.  A total of three other savings institutions operate in both Bell and
Harlan Counties.

     Table 2.3 displays deposit market trends for the state of Kentucky and the
primary market area from June 30, 1993 to June 30, 1995.  Overall, financial
institution deposits showed an increase statewide, with commercial banks showing
growth while savings institutions lost deposits.  This trend of minimal
increases in overall deposits, similar to the rest of the nation, reflects in
part disintermediation whereby banking customers have also placed available
funds into other types of financial intermediaries such as mutual funds,
investment firms, brokerage houses, and insurance companies.  The significant
shrinkage in SAIF-insured thrift deposits in Kentucky was due to a number of
thrift acquisitions by commercial banks during this time period coupled with the
impact of disintermediation.

     Deposit trends in Bell and Harlan Counties exhibited a stronger rate of
deposit increase, as total deposits increased by 2.9 percent and 4.7 percent
annually over the two year period, respectively. The increase in deposits was
recorded by both commercial banks and savings institutions in the two market
area counties. The relatively strong deposit growth in Bell and Harlan Counties
is believed to be attributable to the dramatic reduction in unemployment rates
in recent years as more people were working despite the population shrinkage.
Also, there is only one local brokerage office, which may limit the potential
for disintermediation impacting the nation's financial institutions. Middlesboro
Federal, similar to the other local financial institutions, has recorded
increases in deposits over the time period shown in Table 2.3, and recorded
higher rates of deposit growth than commercial banks and savings institutions
overall. This has resulted in an increase in deposit market share in both market
area counties since June 30, 1993. Data available subsequent to June 30, 1995
for the Bank reveals a continued increase in deposit funds, to $71.9 million at
September 30, 1996, an increase of $9.3 million, or approximately 15 percent
over the fifteen month period. This increase in deposits reveals success in
raising additional retail deposit funds for business operations. The Bank
intends to open a "supermarket branch" office facility in Pineville, Kentucky
during 1997 that is expected to provide additional deposit funds for operations.

Summary
- -------

     The overall condition of the Bank's market area can be characterized as
stable with a slowly declining population and household base. The local Bell
County economy has diversified in recent years, while the Harlan County economy
maintains a concentration in coal mining. Unemployment rates remain above state
and national averages, notwithstanding the population declines being
experienced. In order to support the Bank's desired level of business
operations, lending activities have been pursued in larger metropolitan areas
such as Knoxville, Tennessee. Going forward, in view of the local demographic
and economic trends and the numbers and types of competitors in the two market
area counties, the competition for deposits is expected to remain substantial,
which will result in Middlesboro Federal having to pay competitive deposit rates
to maintain and/or increase local market share. The Bank's current deposit
market share in the range of eight to ten percent indicates that some gains in
deposit market share may be achievable. The reinvestment of stock proceeds from
the conversion may mitigate to some extent the potentially higher funding costs
to attract deposits through anticipated loyalty of local shareholders and
referrals from local shareholders.

                           III.  PEER GROUP ANALYSIS

     This chapter presents an analysis of Middlesboro Federal's operations
versus a group of comparable public companies (the "Peer Group") selected from
the universe of all publicly-traded savings institutions. The primary basis of
the pro forma market valuation of the Bank is provided by these public
companies. Factors affecting Middlesboro Federal's pro forma market value such
as financial condition, credit risk, interest rate risk, and recent operating
results can be readily assessed in relation to the Peer Group. Current market
pricing of the Peer Group, subject to appropriate adjustments to account for
differences between the Middlesboro Federal and the Peer Group, will then be
used as a basis for the valuation of the Bank's to-be-issued common stock.

Selection of Peer Group
- -----------------------

     We consider the appropriate Peer Group to be comprised of only those
publicly-traded savings institutions whose common stock is either listed on a
national exchange or is NASDAQ listed, since the market for companies trading in
this fashion is regular and reported. We believe non-listed institutions are
inappropriate since the trading activity for thinly-traded stocks is typically
highly irregular in terms of frequency and price and may not be a reliable
indicator of market value. We have excluded from the Peer Group all publicly-
traded subsidiary institutions of mutual holding companies, because their
pricing ratios are distorted by the minority issuance of their shares. We have
also excluded from the Peer Group those companies under acquisition and/or
companies whose market prices appear to be distorted by speculative factors or
unusual operating conditions. The universe of all publicly-traded institutions
is included as Exhibit III-1. Pricing characteristics of all thrift institutions
are included as Exhibit IV-2 (institutions excluded from the calculation of
averages are denoted with a footnote (8)).

     Under ideal circumstances, the Peer Group would be comprised of a minimum
of ten small publicly-traded Kentucky thrifts with capital, earnings, asset
sizes, balance sheet composition, risk profiles, operating strategies and market
areas comparable to the Bank. Since 10 such institutions do not exist, it was
necessary to expand the search beyond state boundaries and with search criteria
for smaller, moderately-capitalized thrift institutions located in Midwestern or
Southeastern states. Thus, in the selection process we applied three primary
"screens" to the universe of all public companies as follows:

     .  Screen #1.  Midwestern institutions with assets less than $250 million,
        -----------------------------------------------------------------------
        equity-to-asset ratios between 7.0 and 12.0 percent, core ROA between
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        0.20 and 1.00 percent of average assets and core ROE less than 9.00
        -------------------------------------------------------------------
        percent.  Nine companies met the criteria for Screen #1 and all nine
        --------                                                            
        were included in the Peer Group (see Exhibit III-2).

     .  Screen #2.  Southeastern institutions with assets less than $250
        ----------------------------------------------------------------
        million, equity-to-asset ratios between 7.0 and 10.0 percent, core ROA
        ----------------------------------------------------------------------
        between 0.20 and 1.00 percent of average assets and core ROE less than
        ----------------------------------------------------------------------
        11.00 percent.  After all qualifying Midwestern institutions were
        --------------                                                   
        considered, we expanded our selection process to consider other
        institutions in the Southeast.  A total of 2 institutions met the
        foregoing screening criteria, Pinnacle Bank of AL and First Georgia
        Holding Corp. of GA.  As indicated in Exhibit III-3, Pinnacle Bank of
        AL was included in the Peer Group.  First Georgia was excluded due to
        unusual pricing characteristics.

     .  Screen #3.  Kentucky institutions with assets less than $250 million,
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------
        equity-to-asset ratios less than 15 percent.  We also examined
        --------------------------------------------                  
        Kentucky institutions for similar characteristics and selected one
        additional thrift, Classic Bancshares, Inc., that met the above
        criteria, as shown in Exhibit III-4.

     Table 3.1 lists key characteristics of the Peer Group companies. In
general, the Peer Group is comprised of institutions operating with moderate
capital ratios and earnings. While the Peer Group is not exactly comparable to
the Bank, we believe that it provides a reasonable representation of publicly-
traded thrifts with operations comparable to those of the Bank and thus forms a
sound basis for valuation. A summary description of the key characteristics of
each of the Peer Group companies selected is detailed below.

 .    Community Bank Shares of IN.  Community, the largest member of the Peer
     Group with $235 million in assets, operates seven offices in southeastern
     Indiana.  Community operates in a partly rural market area outside a large
     metropolitan area (New Albany is located across the Ohio River from
     Louisville, Kentucky).  Community maintains a higher level of investment in
     cash and investments than the Peer Group average and recorded a high level
     of non-operating income.  Community reported strong asset quality and
     reserve coverage ratios.

 .    First Franklin Corporation of Ohio.  First Franklin is a $218 million
     institution operating seven offices in Cincinnati, Ohio.  First Franklin
     converted to stock form in January 1988, and is a well-seasoned public
     company.  First Franklin was included in the Peer Group because of its
     moderate profitability and high cost of funds.  First Franklin reported a
     high proportion of assets held in MBS, and a correspondingly low risk-asset
     ratio.

 .    OHSL Financial Corporation of Ohio.  OHSL, a $218 million thrift operates
     four offices in Cincinnati, Ohio, and is a well-seasoned public company
     which converted to stock form in February 1993.  OHSL currently operates
     with a strong capital position (11.6 percent of assets) and a concentration
     of residential assets (64.0 percent of loans).  OHSL recorded relatively
     higher earnings than the Peer Group as a whole due to higher net interest
     income.

 .    Pinnacle Bank of AL.  Pinnacle is a $192 million institution operating five
     offices in northwestern Alabama.  Pinnacle is also a seasoned thrift that
     converted in 1986.  Pinnacle operates with a low capital level (7.5
     percent, the lowest in the Peer Group).  Pinnacle is diversified primarily
     into construction and commercial real estate lending, which makes its risk-
     asset ratio similar to Middlesboro Federal's.

 .    LSB Financial Corporation of IN. LSB is a $178 million thrift operating
     three branches in the city of Lafayette, IN. LSB has a high portion of
     earning assets in loans receivable, and relies on borrowed funds to a
     greater extent. LSB has also recorded similar asset growth and earning
     asset trends as Middlesboro Federal, and has a high net interest margin due
     to high yields on earning assets. LSB's loan portfolio reveals a
     concentration of commercial real estate and construction loans.

 .    Classic Bancshares of Ashland, KY.  Classic is the only Kentucky thrift
     included in the Peer Group, and operates a single office in northeastern
     Kentucky.  Classic reported a high investment in cash and investments,
     resulting in a low net interest margin.  Classic reported less loan
     portfolio diversification than the other Peer Group members and a
     correspondingly low risk-asset ratio.

 .    The Potters S&L Company of OH.  The Potters is located in a small town in
     eastern Ohio, operating from four offices.  The Potters maintains
     substantial portfolios of cash and investments and MBS, which result in low
     net interest income.  While Potters has a high level of non-performing
     assets, it also has a high level of reserves.

 .    First Federal Bancorp of MN.  First Federal is a $107 million asset company
     operating out of five offices in west-central Minnesota.  First Federal
     diversifies its earning assets by maintaining a relatively high proportion
     of cash and investments.  Net interest income is maintained by a low cost
     of funds.  The loan portfolio is diversified into commercial real estate
     and consumer loans.

 .    First Financial Bancorp of IL.  First Financial has $97 million in assets
     and operates out of two offices in northern Illinois.  First Financial
     converted in 1993 and thus is well seasoned in the marketplace.  Operations
     are supported by a high level of borrowed funds, and profitability is
     affected by a high level of operating expenses.  First Financial has a loan
     portfolio concentrated in residential lending.

 .    Community Investment Bancorp of OH.  Community Investment has $95 million
     in asset and operates out of three offices in northcentral Ohio.  Community
     Investment operates with the strongest net interest margin of the Peer
     Group, due to residential and consumer lending.  Reserve coverage levels
     are relatively low.

 .    Horizon Financial Services of Oskaloosa, Iowa.  Horizon Financial is a $77
     million thrift operating from three office locations in southcentral Iowa.
     Horizon Financial is a seasoned thrift, having converted in June 1994, and
     has the lowest market value of the Peer Group companies.  Horizon Financial
     reported moderate earnings and capital levels.

     In aggregate, the Peer Group companies have an average capital ratio that
is lower than the industry average (10.23 percent of assets versus 12.79 percent
for the all SAIF average), and lower core profitability (0.64 percent versus
0.83 percent for all SAIF-insured publicly-traded thrifts). The Peer Group's
only moderately lower capital ratio combined with lower earnings results in a
lower core ROE of 5.66 percent versus 7.41 percent for the all SAIF average. In
terms of pricing, the Peer Group on average trades at a lower price/book ("P/B")
multiple and a similar price/earnings ("P/E") multiple relative to the industry
(see the following table). This pricing differential on a book basis indicates
that the thrift market is establishing the market value of these stocks based on
the price/earnings ratio. The much lower earnings performance of these thrifts
reduces ROE, given the only slightly lower equity/assets ratio. Given the
expected similarity of the

Bank's pro forma capitalization and earnings to the Peer Group, we anticipate
the stock will reflect pricing similarities as well before adjustments discussed
herein.

     The following sections present a comparison of the Bank's financial
condition, income and expense trends, loan composition, interest rate risk and
credit risk versus the Peer Group. The conclusions drawn from the comparative
analysis are then factored into the valuation analysis discussed in the final
chapter.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

     Table 3.2 shows comparative balance sheet measures for the Bank and the
Peer Group, reflecting the expected similarities and some differences given the
selection procedures outlined above. Information for Middlesboro Federal and the
Peer Group is as of September 30, 1996. The Bank's pre-conversion net worth of
5.2 percent was well below the Peer Group's average net worth ratio of 10.2
percent, although the Bank's capital level can be expected to more closely
approximate the Peer Group average on a pro forma basis. The increase in the
Bank's capital on a pro forma basis can also be expected to reduce its ROE. The
Bank had no goodwill whereas the Peer Group on average had minimal goodwill. The
Bank and all of the Peer Group companies were in compliance with all fully
phased-in regulatory capital requirements and were considered to be well-
capitalized by FDICIA standards.

     In terms of asset composition, the Bank's ratio of loans to assets exceeded
the Peer Group's ratio (82.8 percent of assets versus 65.1 percent for the Peer
Group), while the Peer Group recorded a lower level of MBS (7.5 percent versus
9.1 percent for the Bank). The Bank maintains a relatively low balance of cash
and investments as part of its operating strategy, and the portfolio totaled 5.9
percent of total assets. In contrast, the Peer Group maintained a substantially
higher ratio of cash and investments (24.3 percent of assets).

Following the conversion, the Bank's level of cash and investments is expected
to initially increase, pending the Bank's deployment of the proceeds into loans.
Overall, the Bank's IEA totaled 97.8 percent of assets, which was higher than
the Peer Group's ratio of 96.9 percent.

     While both the Bank and the Peer Group have relied on deposits as the
primary source of funds, the Peer Group on average has utilized borrowings to a
greater extent as reflected in the current deposits to assets ratios of 85.8
percent and 76.0 percent, respectively, and borrowings to assets ratios of 7.2
percent and 12.6 percent, respectively. Total interest-bearing liabilities
("IBL") maintained by the Bank and the Peer Group equaled 93.0 percent and 88.6
percent, respectively, with the Peer Group's lower ratio attributable to its
higher capital ratio. On a pro forma basis, the Bank's IBL ratio is expected to
decline as a result of the Bank's enhanced capital base and potential deposit
withdrawals to fund stock purchases. Furthermore, the pending loan sale and
partial repayment of advances should further improve the IBL ratio.

     The growth rate section of Table 3.2 shows growth rates for key balance
sheet items. The growth rates for the Bank are for the fifteen months ended
September 30, 1996 while growth rates for the Peer Group are for the latest
trailing twelve months available. The Bank reported an increase in assets of
nearly 19 percent (annualized) since June 30, 1995, while the Peer Group
reported asset growth equal to 11.5 percent. The Bank's balance sheet expansion
occurred in the area of loans receivable, with cash and investments declining to
fund additional increases in loans receivable. Asset growth was support by
growth in deposits, borrowings and equity (the NM for borrowings indicates a
growth rate above 100 percent). The Peer Group funded asset growth through a
combination of deposits and borrowings (the average borrowings growth rate shown
for the Peer Group in Table 3.2 is not meaningful since growth rates in excess
of 100 percent are shown as "NMs" and are not included in the average). Capital
growth rates for the Bank and the Peer Group were not directly comparable since
many of the Peer Group companies were paying regular/special dividends,
implementing stock repurchase programs or had converted during the past 12
months.

Income and Expense Components
- -----------------------------

     For the twelve months ended September 30, 1996, the Bank's net income
amounted to a net loss of 0.20 percent of average assets, below the 0.37 percent
average return posted by the Peer Group (see Table 3.3). Net interest income was
the primary component of the Bank's and the Peer Group's earnings. The Bank
maintained a lower level of net interest income relative to the Peer Group (2.76
percent of average assets versus 3.12 percent for the Peer Group), which was
primarily attributable to substantially higher interest expense (4.61 percent of
average assets versus 4.14 percent for the Peer Group), reflecting the Bank's
higher IBL ratio and recent aggressive posture on growth. The Bank's higher
interest expense ratio more than offsets

its higher interest income ratio (7.37 percent for the Bank versus 7.26 percent
for the Peer Group).  Middlesboro Federal's interest income was supported by the
higher proportion of earning assets in whole loans receivable and the greater
loan portfolio diversification into higher yielding commercial real estate,
construction and consumer loans.  The reinvestment of the net conversion
proceeds may serve to initially dilute the Bank's asset yields due to current
market rates on short- to intermediate-term investment securities but the net
interest margin should increase with an increase in the IEA/IBL ratio.

     In another key area of core earnings strength, the Bank operates with a
higher operating expense ratio than the Peer Group (2.44 percent versus 2.30
percent of assets for the Peer Group), which is attributable to its recent
office expansion and additional personnel hired to support the higher asset
base. These features have inflated the Bank's staffing requirements and
compensation expenses, as evidenced by the Bank's lower assets per employee
ratio relative to the Peer Group median ($3.352 million and $4.167 million,
respectively). Going forward, Middlesboro Federal's operating expenses will be
subject to increase related to operations as a publicly-held company, stock plan
expenses and the prospective new branch.

     When viewed together, net interest income and operating expenses provide
insight into an institution's earnings strength, since those sources of income
and expense are typically the most prominent components of earnings and are
generally more predictable than losses and gains realized from the sale of
assets or other non-recurring activities. An expense coverage ratio of greater
than 1.0x indicates that an institution is able to sustain pre-tax profitability
with less reliance on non-interest sources of income. In this regard, as
measured by their expense coverage ratios (net interest income divided by
operating expenses), the Peer Group enjoys an advantage over the Bank based on
expense coverage ratios of 1.36 and 1.13 times, respectively. Taking into
account non-interest operating income along with net interest income and
operating expenses, the Bank's efficiency ratio of 75.1 percent compares less
favorably to the Peer Group's ratio of 66.9 percent.

     Non-interest operating income made a higher contribution to the Bank's
earnings than the Peer Group's earnings, offsetting some of the disadvantage in
core earnings. For the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 1996, the Bank
recorded non-interest operating income of 0.49 percent of average assets versus
a level of 0.32 percent recorded by the Peer Group. Going forward, the Bank
anticipates that non-interest operating income will continue to contribute
similar levels to overall revenues.

     During the most recent fiscal year, Middlesboro Federal and the Peer Group
recorded a significant level of non-operating income or expense.  Both
Middlesboro Federal and the Peer Group's earnings were affected by the SAIF
assessment charge to income during the quarter ended September 30, 1996.
However, the Bank also recorded non-operating expenses in the form of a deferred
compensation agreement for a retired former senior officer and a charge for
implementation of a director's retirement plan.  The Bank also recorded

a small amount of gains on the sale of securities. As a result, net non-
operating items contributed a pre-tax reduction to earnings of 0.88 percent of
average assets versus 0.40 percent of average assets for the Peer Group. Loan
loss provisions for the Peer Group and Middlesboro Federal were similar at 0.11
and 0.17 percent of average assets, respectively.

Loan Composition
- ----------------

     Table 3.4 presents data related to the loan composition of the Bank and the
Peer Group. An emphasis on residential lending was apparent in both the Bank's
and the Peer Group's loan portfolios, with 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans
and MBS accounting for 64.1 percent and 74.5 percent of the Bank's and the Peer
Group's total loan and MBS portfolios, respectively. Unlike the Bank, several of
the Peer Group sell loans in the secondary market with servicing retained,
thereby deriving fee income through loans serviced for others. The Bank
maintained a lower level of 1-4 family residential mortgages and MBS than the
Peer Group.

     The Bank's loan portfolio exhibited greater diversification into higher
risk weight loans than the Peer Group's average loan portfolio. Commercial real
estate lending is the Bank's primary method of lending diversification, and such
loans comprised 15.5 percent of the total loan and MBS portfolio at September
30, 1996. The Peer Group achieved most of their loan portfolio diversification
through a combination of income property lending and consumer lending, which
averaged 12.1 percent and 6.9 percent of total loans and MBS, respectively.
Overall, however, the Bank's loan portfolio diversification was above that of
the Peer Group, as the Bank's commercial real estate, construction, consumer and
commercial business loans totaled 35.9 percent of total loans and MBS, while the
Peer Group's combined level of these loan categories totaled only 27.8 percent.
The Bank's greater diversification into higher risk-weight loans was reflected
in the higher risk-weighted asset base than was recorded by the Peer Group
(61.59 percent risk-weighted assets for Middlesboro Federal versus 51.73 percent
for the Peer Group).

Credit Risk
- -----------

     Middlesboro Federal's credit risk exposure appears to be higher than the
Peer Group's exposure based on the Bank's higher level of risk weight assets,
reasonable portfolio growth and lower reserve coverage ratios. As shown in Table
3.5, as of September 30, 1996, the Bank recorded NPAs of 0.54 percent of assets,
lower than the Peer Group average of 0.82 percent, and maintained a lower ratio
of non-performing loans ("NPLs") to loans of 0.62 percent versus 0.95 percent
for the Peer Group. Most of the Bank's and Peer Group's NPAs consist of non-
accruing loans, although the Peer Group reported a level of real estate owned.

maintained a much lower level of loss reserves as a percent of non-accruing
loans (45.03 percent versus 211.84 percent for the Peer Group).


Interest Rate Risk
- ------------------

     Table 3.6 reflects the relative interest rate risk exposure of Middlesboro
Federal and the Peer Group.  The Bank's lower capital level was the key factor
contributing to its lower IEA/IBL ratio relative to the Peer Group (105.2
percent versus 109.4 percent, respectively).  The Bank's lower capital and
IEA/IBL ratios increases its funding costs relative to the Peer Group.  However,
the Bank's capital ratio and IEA/IBL ratio will increase on a post-conversion
basis.  The Bank maintained a lower ratio of non-interest earning assets, which
is more favorable from an interest rate risk perspective as it increases the
proportion of assets repricing upward in a rising rate environment.

     In the absence of available or comparable gap and rate shock analyses for
the Peer Group, the change in the quarterly net interest income ratio to average
assets for the Bank and the Peer Group has been examined in relation to the
change in market interest rates. As shown in Table 3.6, the Bank's net interest
margin has recently shown more sensitivity to changing market interest rates
than the Peer Group's average net interest margin. On a pro forma basis, the
Bank's higher capital position and reinvestment of proceeds in short- to
intermediate-term securities can be expected to lower exposure to changes in
interest rates.


Summary
- -------

     Based on the above analysis and the criteria employed by in the Peer Group
selection process, the Peer Group appears to form a reasonable basis for
determining the pro forma market value of the Bank, subject to the adjustments
noted in the following section.

                            IV.  VALUATION ANALYSIS
Introduction
- ------------

     This chapter presents the valuation analysis, consistent with current
valuation methodology promulgated by the OTS, and key valuation factors and
assumptions considered in estimating pro forma market value of the common stock
to be issued in conjunction with the conversion of the MHC. The MHC is
converting to a Tennessee stock corporation pursuant to the Plan. The valuation
has been prepared utilizing the same general pro forma valuation methodology
that has been used in the valuation of standard conversions since 1983. The pro
forma valuation methodology has been modified to reflect the unique
characteristics of the conversion of the MHC, specifically the fact that the MHC
will be selling only a partial ownership interest in the Subscription and
Community Offerings, instead of a 100 percent ownership interest as would be the
case in a standard conversion.

Appraisal Guidelines
- --------------------

     The OTS appraisal guidelines, originally released in October 1983, specify
the methodology for estimating the pro forma market value of an institution. The
methodology included: (1) selection of a peer group of comparable seasoned
publicly-traded institutions whose pricing is not distorted due to a variety of
factors; (2) a fundamental analysis of the subject company to the peer group;
and (3) a pro forma valuation analysis of the subject company based on the
market pricing of the peer group as of the date of valuation. The amended
valuation guidelines also limit the amount of a new issue discount which may be
incorporated into the valuation and thereby curtail the potential price
appreciation in the after-market.

     RP Financial's valuation analysis complies with the October 1983 OTS
appraisal guidelines as revised on October 21, 1994, incorporating a
"fundamental analysis" relative to the Peer Group and a "technical analysis" of
final conversion pricing and trading levels of recently completed conversions
(given the emphasis of limiting after-market appreciation). It should be noted
that such analysis cannot possibly fully account for all the market forces which
impact after-market trading activity and pricing characteristics of a stock on a
given day.

     The pro forma market value determined herein is a preliminary value for the
Company's to-be-issued stock.  Throughout the conversion process, RP Financial
will:  (1) review changes in the Bank's operations and financial condition; (2)
monitor the Bank's operations and financial condition relative to the Peer Group
to identify any fundamental changes; (3) monitor the external factors affecting
value including, but not limited to, local and national economic conditions,
interest rates, and the stock market environment, including the market

for thrift stocks; and (4) monitor pending initial and second step conversion
offerings (including those in the offering phase) both regionally and
nationally. If material changes should occur during the conversion process, RP
Financial will prepare updated valuation reports reflecting such changes and
their related impact on value, if any, over the course of the conversion
process. RP Financial will also prepare a final valuation update at the closing
of the conversion offering to determine if the preliminary range of value
continues to be appropriate.

     The appraised value determined herein is based on the current market and
operating environment for the Bank and for all thrifts.  Subsequent changes in
the local and national economy, the legislative and regulatory environment, the
stock market, interest rates, and other external forces (such as natural
disasters or major world events), which may occur from time to time (often with
great unpredictability), may materially impact the market value of all thrift
stocks, including Middlesboro Federal, or Middlesboro Federal's value alone.  To
the extent a change in factors impacting the Bank's value can be reasonably
anticipated and/or quantified, RP Financial has incorporated the estimated
impact into its analysis.


Valuation Analysis
- ------------------

     A fundamental analysis discussing similarities and differences relative to
the Peer Group was presented in Chapter III. The following sections summarize
such differences between the Bank and the Peer Group and how those differences
affect the pro forma valuation. Emphasis is placed on the specific strengths and
weaknesses of the Bank relative to the Peer Group in such key areas as financial
condition, profitability, growth and viability of earnings, asset growth,
primary market area, dividends, liquidity of the issue, marketing of the issue,
management, and the effect of government regulations and/or regulatory reform.
We have also considered the market for thrift stocks, and in particular new
issues, including second step conversions, to assess the impact on value of
Middlesboro Federal coming to market at this time.

1.   Financial Condition
     -------------------

     The financial strength of an institution is an important determinant in pro
forma market value, because investors typically look to such factors as
liquidity, capital, asset composition and quality, and funding sources in
assessing investment attractiveness.  The similarities and differences in the
Bank's financial strength can be summarized as follows:

     .  Overall A/L Composition.  Permanent residential mortgage loans and MBS
        -----------------------                                               
        funded by retail deposits were the primary components of both
        Middlesboro Federal's and the Peer Group's balance sheets. The Bank
        maintains a higher proportion of overall loans receivable than the Peer
        Group, offset by a lower level of cash and investments. Middlesboro
        Federal also reported a higher level of diversification into higher
        credit risk types of loans relative to the Peer Group, indicating higher
        yield potential. The Peer Group relied on borrowed funds to a

Page 4.3


        greater extent than the Bank, although retail deposits comprised the
        major portion of the respective funding needs.

     .  Credit Risk.  Middlesboro Federal maintains comparatively lower
        -----------                                                    
        NPAs/assets and NPLs/loans ratios, despite a higher credit risk profile.
        Further, the Bank has a higher loans assets ratio than the Peer Group,
        and a significant portion of the loan portfolio has been originated
        within the past one to two years, resulting in a generally unseasoned
        loan portfolio.

     .  Liquidity.  Middlesboro Federal maintained a significantly lower level
        ---------                                                             
        of cash and investments than the Peer Group and a higher proportion of
        MBS. The Bank's proportion of cash and investments is likely to
        initially increase on a pro forma basis. Borrowings were utilized to a
        slightly higher degree by the Peer Group, and both maintain ample
        borrowings capacity. The Bank's loans typically do not meet secondary
        market standards for sale, in general due to the lack of a title policy
        and property surveys. Overall, Middlesboro Federal appears to have less
        balance sheet liquidity than the Peer Group.

     .  Capital.  While the Bank maintains a lower capital position in relation
        -------                                                                
        to the Peer Group, following the infusion of conversion proceeds, the
        Bank's capital position will approach but still remain below the Peer
        Group average. As a result, the Bank has less leverage capacity than the
        Peer Group. Despite a lower pro forma equity position, the Bank's return
        on equity ("ROE") is not expected to exceed the Peer Group average due
        to lower profitability.

     On balance, RP Financial applied a moderate downward adjustment for
financial condition.

2.   Profitability, Growth and Viability of Earnings
     -----------------------------------------------

     Earnings are an important factor in determining pro forma market value, as
the level and risk characteristics of an institution's earnings stream and the
prospects and ability to generate future earnings are typically heavily factored
into an investment decision. The historical income statements of Middlesboro
Federal and the Peer Group were generally reflective of traditional thrift
operating strategies, with net interest income and operating expenses being the
major determinants of their respective core earnings. The specific factors
considered in the valuation include:

     .  Reported Earnings.  The Bank reported a net loss of 0.20 percent of
        -----------------                                                  
        average assets for the most recent twelve month period versus earnings
        of 0.37 percent for the Peer Group, with both reflecting the special
        SAIF assessment. The differential in reported earnings is due to the
        Bank's higher non-operating expenses, lower net interest margin and
        higher operating expenses.

     .  Core Earnings.  The Bank also maintains a less favorable core earnings
        -------------                                                         
        posture relative to the Peer Group. The Bank operated with less
        favorable net interest income, more favorable non-interest operating
        income and less favorable operating expenses than the Peer Group. While
        redeployment of conversion proceeds into interest-earning assets should
        enhance Middlesboro Federal's net interest income, operating expenses
        for the Bank are expected to increase as well. On a pro forma basis,
        Middlesboro Federal's core profitability is expected to remain below
        that of the Peer Group.

     .  Interest Rate Risk.  Middlesboro Federal's NPV measures indicated
        ------------------                                               
        relatively high exposure to rising interest rates. Although gap and NPV
        data was not available for the Peer Group, other analyses indicated a
        comparable advantage for the Peer Group. The pro forma increase in the
        IEA/IBL ratio can be expected to reduce the Bank's interest rate risk
        exposure, but the Bank is expected to remain at a disadvantage.

     .  Credit Risk.  Loss provisions had a lower impact on the earnings of the
        -----------                                                            
        Bank in comparison to the Peer Group. In terms of credit quality related
        losses, the Bank maintained much lower reserve coverage ratios as a
        percent of loans receivable, non-accruing loans and total NPAs. The
        Bank's higher risk loan portfolio exposes it to potentially greater
        credit risk than the Peer Group, which adds a higher risk of earnings
        volatility relative to the Peer Group with a lower reserve position.

     .  Earnings Growth Potential.  Several factors were considered in assessing
        -------------------------                                               
        earnings growth potential. Middlesboro Federal's recent loan demand has
        been in excess of available funds, requiring the third party borrowings
        and a liquidity reduction. The Bank's intention to slow asset growth
        should limit earnings growth and past rapid growth has narrowed interest
        spreads. With lower pro forma capital and expectations of continued
        growth in operating expenses with the opening of a new office, the
        Bank's earnings appear to have less upside potential than the Peer
        Group.

     .  Return on Equity.  On a pro forma basis the Bank's pro forma return on
        ----------------                                                      
        equity will be similar to the Peer Group average, as the lower pro forma
        profitability is measured against a comparatively lower capital
        position.

     Overall, RP Financial made a moderate downward adjustment for 
profitability, growth and viability of earnings.

3.   Asset Growth
     ------------

     The Bank's asset growth in recent periods has been higher than the Peer
Group's, which has resulted in higher funds costs and a lower net interest
margin for the Bank. The Bank intends to grow at a slower rate in future periods
and repay some FHLB advances with the proceeds from a pending loan sale. The
Bank's profitability has shown the strain of growth. We concluded that a slight
downward adjustment was warranted for the Bank's asset growth potential.

4.   Primary Market Area
     -------------------

     The general condition of a financial institution's market area has an
impact on value, as future success is in part dependent upon opportunities for
profitable activities in the local market area. Summary demographic and deposit
market share data for the Bank and the Peer Group is included in Table 4.1. The
Bank's market area of Bell County, Kentucky is a rural market that has been
experiencing population declines during recent years, while the Peer Group
companies operate on average in larger growing and more prosperous markets. The
per capita income in the Bank's market falls well below the average of the
primary

markets of the Peer Group members.  The Bank's competitive position is not
dissimilar from the average position of the Peer Group institutions in their
primary market areas.  Middlesboro Federal's primary market area has a higher
level of unemployment, which has contributed to the subsequent population
decline.  On balance, RP Financial concluded that a moderate downward adjustment
was warranted for market area.

5.   Dividends
     ---------

     While the Company intends to periodically consider the establishment of a
dividend policy following completion of the conversion, there is no current
intention to pay a dividend.  The ability to pay a dividend will be based on
numerous factors including growth objectives, financial condition, the amount of
net proceeds retained by Company in the conversion, investment opportunities
available to the Company and the Bank, profitability, tax considerations,
minimum capital requirements, regulatory limitations, stock market
characteristics and general economic conditions.

     Historically, thrifts typically have not established dividend policies at
the time of their conversion to stock ownership. Newly converted institutions,
in general, have preferred to gain market seasoning, establish an earnings track
record and more fully invest the conversion proceeds before establishing a
dividend policy. However, during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with negative
publicity surrounding the thrift industry, there was a tendency for more thrifts
to initiate moderate dividend policies concurrent with their conversion as a
means of increasing the attractiveness of the stock offering. Today, fewer
institutions are compelled to initially establish dividend policies at the time
of their conversion offering to increase the attractiveness of the stock issue
as: (1) industry profitability has improved, (2) the number of problem thrift
institutions has declined, and (3) the stock market cycle for thrift stocks is
generally more favorable than in the early 1990s. At the same time, with ROE
ratios under pressure, due to high equity levels, well-capitalized institutions
are subject to increased competitive pressures to offer dividends and a number
of institutions have instituted special dividends.

     As publicly-traded thrifts' capital levels and profitability have improved
and as weakened institutions have been resolved, the proportion of institutions
with cash dividend policies has increased. Nine of the eleven institutions in
the Peer Group presently pay regular cash dividends, with implied dividend
yields ranging from 1.49 percent to 4.24 percent. The average dividend yield on
the stocks of the Peer Group institutions was 2.04 percent as of December 13,
1996, representing an average earnings payout ratio of 37.10 percent. As of
December 13, 1996, approximately 80 percent of all publicly-traded SAIF-insured
thrifts had adopted cash dividend policies (see Exhibit IV-1), exhibiting an
average yield of 2.34 percent and an average payout ratio of 41.72 percent. The
dividend paying thrifts generally maintain higher than average profitability
ratios, 

 
RP Financial, LC.

facilitating their ability to pay cash dividends, which supports a market
pricing premium on average relative to non-dividend paying thrifts.

     In MHC form, it has been unusual that the Bank has not paid dividends.  The
Company's ability following the completion of the second step conversion to pay
a dividend would appear to be more limited relative to the Peer Group based on
lower pro forma capital and earnings.  The Company's stated intention to not
implement a dividend shortly after completion of the conversion is an
unfavorable comparison to the Peer Group companies, particularly in view of the
lower core profitability and capital, and thus a slight downward adjustment is
warranted for this valuation factor.

6.   Liquidity of the Shares
     -----------------------

     The Peer Group is by definition composed of companies that are traded in
the public markets, ten of which trade on the NASDAQ system and one that trades
on the AMEX. Typically, the number of shares outstanding and market
capitalization provides an indication of how much liquidity there will be in a
particular stock. The market capitalization of the Peer Group companies ranged
from $6.5 million to $25.4 million as of December 13, 1996, with an average
market value of $14.9 million. The shares outstanding of the Peer Group members
ranged from 0.5 million to 2.0 million, with average shares outstanding of
approximately 0.9 million. The Bank's pro forma market value and shares
outstanding will be considerably less than the comparative Peer Group averages,
and the majority of individual Peer Group members. Although the Bank's stock may
be listed on the NASDAQ "pink sheets", we further anticipate that the Bank will
attract a low level of ongoing investor and institutional interest. Accordingly,
we anticipate the liquidity of the Bank's shares will be lower than that of the
Peer Group on average, and thus we have applied a slight downward adjustment for
this factor.

7.   Marketing of the Issue
     ----------------------

     We believe that four separate markets exists for thrift stocks coming to
market such as Middlesboro Federal: (A) the after-market for public companies,
in which trading activity is regular and investment decisions are made based
upon financial condition, earnings, capital, ROE and dividends; (B) the new
issue market in which converting thrifts are evaluated on the basis of the same
factors but on a pro forma basis without the benefit of a stock trading history
and reporting quarterly operating results as a publicly-held company; (C) the
market for second step conversions by MHCs; (D) the acquisition market for
thrift franchises in Kentucky; and (E) the market for the public stock of
Middlesboro Federal. All of these markets were considered in the valuation of
the Bank's second step conversion.

     A.   Public Market
          -------------

          The value of publicly-traded thrift stocks is easily measurable, and
is tracked by most investment houses and related organizations. In general,
thrift stock values react to market stimuli such as interest rates, inflation,
perceived industry health, projected rates of economic growth, regulatory issues
and stock market conditions in general. Exhibit IV-2 displays historical stock
market trends for various indices and includes historical stock price index
values for thrifts and commercial banks. Exhibit IV-3 displays historical stock
price indices for thrifts only.

          In terms of assessing general stock market conditions, the stock
market has generally trended higher over the past year.  The Dow Jones
Industrial Average ("DJIA") rallied to new highs in early- and mid-November
1995, with the rally being initially led by transportation issues, and continued
strength in the bond market.  Investors poured into defensive issues during the
first budget impasse, with the DJIA posting several consecutive highs in mid-
November.  The DJIA surged past the 5000 mark in late-November, reflecting
strength in blue chip issues and a mild rebound in the technology sector amid
increasing expectations that the Federal Reserve would cut short-term interest
rates.  Defensive issues sustained the rally through early-December, while
weakness in the technology sector provided for a slight pull-back in the stock
market in mid-December.  At the close of 1995, market activity was mixed.
Favorable inflation data led to a 0.25 percent cut in short-term interest rates
by the Federal Reserve in late-December, which served to initially lift stock
prices.  However, the second budget impasse and weak holiday retail sales
quickly erased the positive impact of the interest rate cut, as the DJIA dropped
sharply shortly after the Federal Reserve action.  Bond prices rallied on news
of the sagging economy, as the 30-year bond yield fell below 6.0 percent in
late-December.

          The stock market began 1996 on a down note, reflecting concern over
the budget stalemate in Washington.  A sell-off in technology stocks further
sustained the decline in the stock market, as investors dumped technology stocks
on profit concerns.  However, favorable inflation data and strong fourth quarter
earnings by some blue chip issues served to abbreviate the decline in the stock
market, with the DJIA posting several new highs in the second half of January.
Stock prices were further boosted by increasing expectations of another rate cut
by the Federal Reserve, which occurred at the end of January.  The stock market
moved sharply higher in early-February, as the cut in short-term interest rates
and strong fourth quarter earnings posted by some large technology companies
served to renew investor interest in technology stocks.  Low inflation and
modest economic growth translated into renewed interest for cyclical stocks as
well, with the DJIA posting five consecutive all-time highs during the week
ended February 9.  Congressional testimony by the Federal Reserve Chairman
provided for significant swings in the stock market in mid-February, reflecting
changing investor sentiment regarding the possibility of future rate cuts.  The
volatility continued through the end of February, reflecting turbulence in the
bond market and general uncertainty over future interest rate

trends. An unexpectedly large drop in the February unemployment rate provided
for a sharp one day sell-off in the stock market on March 8, as bond prices
plunged on news of the strong job growth and the possibility that an
accelerating economy may lead to higher inflation. However, the stock market
recovered the following week, as inflation fears were somewhat alleviated by
additional economic data which indicated a more modest pace of economic growth
than suggested by the unemployment data, including a 0.2 percent drop in
February wholesale prices. After trading in a narrow range through the end of
March, merger activity and a jump in IBM's stock price propelled the DJIA to a
new record in early-April. The upturn was brief, as bond and stock prices
slumped following the stronger than expected March employment report which
served to rekindle inflation fears.

          Earnings reports dominated the stock market in mid-April 1996, with
day-to-day fluctuations in the market reflecting changing investor sentiment
regarding the strength of first quarter earnings and future earnings
expectations.  Favorable earnings among technology issues pushed the NASDAQ
Composite Index to new highs in late-April and early-May, while blue chip stocks
lagged the overall market.  Stronger than expected first quarter GDP growth
reported in early-May stirred major sell-offs in stocks and bonds, resulting in
the 30-year bond edging above 7.0 percent and a one day drop in the DJIA of
almost 77 points.  Inflation concerns receded somewhat following a mid-May
report by the Federal Reserve, which indicated that inflation remained in check
and near term rate increases were not likely.  The positive reading on inflation
by the Federal Reserve, along with the Federal Reserve's decision to leave
interest rates unchanged at its late-May meeting, served to strengthen bond and
stock prices, with the DJIA posting new highs in late-May and the 30-year bond
dropping below 7.0 percent.  However, signs of an accelerating economy and
revised upward estimates of second quarter GDP growth provided for a pullback in
the stock market at the end of May.  Stronger than expected job growth in May
further depressed bond prices in early-June, which served to stall the stock
market as well.

          Expectations that the Federal Reserve would not tighten interest rates
at its July 1996 meeting provided for a rally in the bond market in late-June,
as the 30-year bond yield dropped below 7.0 percent.  The positive interest rate
outlook also served to boost the stock market in early-July, but the rally was
cut short by a larger than expected drop in June unemployment.  Bond and stock
prices tumbled following the June unemployment report, as highlighted by a 115
point decline in the DJIA and an increase in the 30-year bond yield to 7.18
percent.  The release of second quarter earnings reports provided for a volatile
stock market in mid-July, especially among the technology stocks.  Overall, the
stock market declined due to earnings disappointments, with a more severe
decline occurring in the technology driven NASDAQ Composite Index.  At the same
time bond prices recovered, as the 30-year bond yield dropped below 7.0 percent
following statements by the Federal Reserve Chairman which indicated he expected
the economy to slow down in the

second half of 1996. Stocks and bonds rallied in late-July and early-August, as
economic data indicated a healthy but moderating economy. However, higher
interest rates pushed stocks lower in late-August, reflecting increasing
expectations that the Federal Reserve would tighten interest rates in September.
The decline in the stock market was reversed in early-September, as investors
reacted positively to the inflation data contained in the August employment
report. Oil stocks sustained the upward trend in the stock market in early-
September, as renewed tension between the U.S. and Iraq pushed crude oil prices
to their highest level in five years. Both bond and stock prices surged higher
in mid-September, as most of the economic data for August indicated that economy
was moderating and investors became more optimistic that the Federal Reserve
would not raise interest rates in September.

          The Federal Reserve's decision not to raise interest rates at its
September 1996 meeting, and generally healthy third quarter earnings results
sustained the upward momentum in the stock market during the beginning of the
fourth quarter.  Favorable inflation data and lower interest rates further
spurred the upward trend in the stock market prior to the election.  Investors
were cheered by the "status quo" election results, as stocks rallied strongly
immediately following the election with the DJIA posting ten consecutive
advances through mid-November.  Economic stability and a rising bond market
sustained the stock market rally through the end of November.  For the entire
month of November, the DJIA increased 492.3 points, or 8.2 percent.  Following
the rapid rise in the stock market during November, stocks retreated in early
December.  Profit taking, concern about speculative excesses in the stock market
and higher interest rates all contributed to the decline in the stock market.
On December 13, 1996, the DJIA closed at 6304.87, translating into an increase
of 23.2 percent from year end 1995.

          Similar to the overall stock market, the market for thrift stocks has
generally been favorable during the past twelve months.  Sustained by
acquisition activity and relatively low interest rates, thrift stocks edged
higher during the first half of November 1995.  A tax law change in the new
congressional budget, which would provide for the elimination of back taxes on
bad-debt reserves taken before 1988, served to push thrift stocks higher in
late-November, as investors speculated that the removal of the potential back
taxes would accelerate the pace of mergers and acquisitions in the thrift
industry.  Uncertainty regarding the Federal Reserve's intentions on cutting
short-term interest rates provided for a relatively narrow trading range for
thrift stocks during the first half of December.  The rate cut by the Fed and
reports of sluggish retail sales led to a rally in the bond market in late-
December, which, in turn, bolstered prices for thrift and bank issues.

          Thrift stocks followed the stock market in general lower in early-
1996, reflecting concern that the absence of a budget agreement would lead to
higher interest rates.  The downturn in thrift stocks was brief, as thrift
prices trended higher in the second half of January.  Economic data which
indicated that inflation was low supported the recovery in thrift prices, as the
favorable inflation news served to calm the credit markets 

 
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.11


and increased expectations that interest rates would remain low. Thrift prices
were further boosted by the Federal Reserve's move to cut short-term interest
rates at the end of January and generally favorable fourth quarter earnings.
Mixed indications on the future direction of interest rates translated into a
relatively narrow trading range for thrift stocks throughout February.

          Interest sensitive issues were among the stocks most severely affected
by the sell-off precipitated by the decline in the February 1996 unemployment
rate, as prospects for further near-term rate cuts by the Federal Reserve were
substantially eliminated by the explosive job growth.  However, thrift prices
rebounded in late-March and early-April as interest rates stabilized.  A bullish
outlook on the financial institution sector in general served to further bolster
prices in early-April, as a number of analysts forecasted healthy first quarter
earnings for thrift and bank stocks and that the financial institution sector
would outperform the market in general during the balance of 1996.  However,
thrift prices declined following the release of the March employment report, as
interest sensitive stocks were pulled lower by the unfavorable interest rate
outlook.  The downturn was abbreviated by the generally strong first quarter
earnings posted by bank and thrift issues, which provided for a mild upward
trend in thrift stocks in mid-April.  Paralleling the stock market in general,
thrift prices dropped sharply in early-May following the rise in interest rates
caused by the strong first quarter GDP growth.  Thrift prices rebounded in mid-
May, as interest rates declined slightly on the strength of tame inflation news.
At the end of May and through mid-June, uncertainty over future interest rate
trends provided for a flat thrift stock market.

          The Supreme Court's ruling in favor of thrifts seeking damages for
goodwill served to boost thrift prices in the beginning of July, but the upturn
was abbreviated by a sharp increase in interest rates in early-July.  The sharp
rise in interest rates, which was prompted by the stronger than expected June
unemployment report, pushed interest-sensitive issues in general lower.
Generally favorable second quarter earnings and lower interest rates supported a
modest recovery in thrift prices in mid-July, although concerns about future
interest rate trends moderated the impact of the healthy second quarter
earnings.  Lower interest rates and the announced acquisitions of two large
California thrifts, American Savings with $20 billion in assets and CalFed
Bancorp with $14 billion in assets, pushed the SNL Index higher in late-July and
through mid-August.  Thrift stocks settled into a narrow trading range in late-
August and early-September, as higher interest rates dampened interest in the
thrift sector.  For the balance of September, trading activity in thrift stocks
was somewhat mixed.  Higher thrift prices were recorded in mid-September, as the
yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond briefly dropped below 7.0 percent.
However, the rally in financial services stocks faltered in late-September,
reflecting renewed fears about higher interest rates and rising bad debt on
credit cards.

          Thrift prices generally moved higher during October  and November
1996.  The upward trend in thrift prices was supported by lower interest rates,
with the slow down in economic growth pushing the 30-

year U.S. bond rate below 6.5 percent during the second half of November.
Investors also reacted positively to the SAIF rescue legislation, in light of
the reduction in deposit insurance premiums to be paid by SAIF-insured thrifts
following the one time special assessment. Similar to the overall stock market,
thrift prices traded lower in early-December. Profit taking and expectations of
higher interest rates were factors contributing to the pull back in thrift
issues. The SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts closed at 473.6 on
December 13, 1996, an increase of 27.0 percent from one year ago.

     B.   New Issue Market
          ----------------

          In addition to thrift stock market conditions in general, the new
issue market for converting thrifts is also an important consideration in
determining the Bank's pro forma market value.  Demand for converting issues was
strong in the first quarter of 1996, with most offerings being oversubscribed
and posting healthy increases in near term aftermarket trading.  Comparatively,
offerings completed in the second quarter reflected a cooling interest in thrift
IPOs, as indicated by fewer oversubscriptions and generally weak aftermarket
trading performance.  The most recently completed offerings, offerings which
have closed during the past three months, have generally been well received in
the market place.  Fewer offerings, more attractive pricing, lower interest
rates, and the general positive trend in thrift prices have been among the most
prominent factors contributing to the renewed investor interest shown for
converting thrift issues.  As shown in Table 4.2, the median one week change in
price for offerings completed during the latest three months equaled positive
25.0 percent, illustrating market strength for new issues.

          In examining the current pricing characteristics of institutions
completing their conversions during the last three months (see Table 4.3), we
note there exists a considerable difference in pricing ratios compared to the
universe of all publicly-traded thrifts.  Specifically, the current average P/B
ratio of the conversions completed in the most recent three month period of
90.44 percent reflects a discount of 22.4 percent from the average P/B ratio of
all publicly-traded SAIF-insured thrifts (equal to 116.52 percent), and the
average core P/E ratio of 18.54 times reflects a premium of 19.5 percent from
the all SAIF-insured public average core P/E ratio of 15.51 times.  The pricing
ratios of the better capitalized but lower earning (based on return on equity
measures) recently converted thrifts suggest that the investment community has
determined to discount their stocks on a book basis until the earnings improve
through redeployment and leveraging of the proceeds over the longer term.

          In determining our valuation adjustment for marketing of the issue, we
considered trends in both the overall thrift market and the new issue market.
The overall market for thrift stocks is considered to be healthy, as thrift
stocks are currently exhibiting pricing ratios that are approaching historically
high levels.

Investor interest in the new issue market has been favorable, as most of the
recently completed  offerings have been oversubscribed and have recorded price
increases in initial post-conversion trading activity.

     C.   Secondary Step Conversion Market
          --------------------------------

          There is a pronounced difference in the pricing of second step
conversions relative to full conversion offerings in which 100 percent of the
shares are issued.  As noted in Table 4.4, during the past 12 months, the median
pro forma price/tangible book ratios of second step conversions exceeded 80
percent, as compared to the median price/tangible book of conversions over the
last three months which just exceeds 70 percent, perhaps reflecting the smaller
offering and some seasoning as a public company for second steps.  Furthermore,
as shown in Table 4.5, assuming the publicly-traded MHCs completed second step
conversions (utilizing standard assumptions for each MHC) at their current
market prices, the implied median price/tangible book is computed at
approximately 79 percent -- apparently the investment community is factoring in
the potential impact of a second step conversion into the market price of MHCs
today.

          Accordingly, before adjusting Middlesboro Federal's value for
fundamental differences, it would be expected that the pro forma price/tangible
book would share more pricing similarity with the second step transactions than
the 100 percent stock conversion offerings.

     D.   Acquisition Market
          ------------------

          Also considered in the valuation was the potential impact on
Middlesboro Federal's stock price of recently completed and pending acquisitions
of other thrifts operating in Middlesboro Federal's market area.  As shown in
Exhibit IV-4, there were six Kentucky thrifts acquired or under announced
acquisition in 1996.  The recent acquisition activity involving Kentucky thrifts
may imply a certain degree of acquisition speculation for the Bank's stock, but
the Bank's characteristics and market area are very different than this group.
To the extent that acquisition speculation may impact the Bank's offering, we
have largely taken this into account in selecting primarily Midwestern thrifts
that also experience a degree of thrift acquisition activity.  The Chairman of
the Bank recently filed a change of control application in order to acquire up
to 24.9 percent of the shares.  In view of the subsequent conversion
application, such change of control application is being withdrawn and the
Chairman's pro forma ownership will not exceed 9.9 percent immediately following
conversion.

     E.   Market for Middlesboro Federal Stock
          ------------------------------------

          Middlesboro Federal's minority shares of stock are not traded on
NASDAQ or any other exchange and trade very infrequently.  Since completion of
the minority stock offering in 1994, management is

(1) Current stock price of minority stock. Average of High/Low or Bid/Ask price 
    per share.
(2) EPS (earnings per share) is based on reported trailing twelve month data and
    is shown on a pro forma basis. Public MHC data reflects additional earnings
    from reinvestment of proceeds of second step conversion.
(3) P/E = Price to Earnings; P/B = Price to Book; P/A = Price to Assets; P/TB =
    Price to Tangible Book; and P/CORE = Price to Core Earnings. Ratios are pro
    forma assuming a second step conversion to full stock form.
(4) Indicated twelve month dividend, based on last quarterly dividend declared.
(5) Indicated twelve month dividend as a percent of trailing twelve month 
    earnings (earnings adjusted to reflect second step conversion).
(6) ROA (return on assets) and ROE (return on equity) are indicated ratios based
    on trailing twelve month earnings and average equity and assets balances. 
(7) Excludes from averages and medians those companies the subject of actual or 
    rumored acquisition activities or unusual operating characteristics. 
(8) Figures estimated by RP Financial to reflect a second step conversion of the
    MHC to full stock form.

aware of only a few trades involving the Bank's stock, with the most recent
trade completed at a price of $11.68 per share.  Due to the absence of an active
trading market for Middlesboro Federal's minority shares, the trading activity
of the stock has been heavily discounted in this valuation analysis.

                        *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

     Taking these factors and trends into account, RP Financial concluded that a
slight upward adjustment was appropriate in the valuation analysis for purposes
of marketing of the issue.

8.   Management
     ----------

     Middlesboro Federal's management team has experience and expertise in all
of the key areas of the Bank's operations. Exhibit IV-5 lists Middlesboro
Federal's Board of Directors and executive management with summary resumes. The
Bank's operations to date indicates that Middlesboro Federal's management team,
in conjunction with the Board, has developed and implemented an effective
operating philosophy. Middlesboro Federal has no apparent senior management or
Board vacancies and there appears to be a well-defined organizational structure.

     Similarly, the financial results of the Peer Group companies indicate that
they have been effectively managed, as all of the Peer Group companies
maintained healthy capital positions, solid core earnings and favorable credit
quality measures. We have therefore concluded that, in general, Middlesboro
Federal is currently being operated at least as effectively as the Peer Group
companies and no adjustment for this factor was necessary.

9.   Effect of Government Regulation and Regulatory Reform
     -----------------------------------------------------

     The Bank and most of the Peer Group companies were similarly impacted by
the recently enacted SAIF rescue legislation, as the affected institutions are
SAIF-insured and subject to the same one time assessment and their deposits will
be assessed at the same rate going forward. In summary, as a fully-converted
SAIF-insured savings bank, Middlesboro Federal will operate in substantially the
same regulatory environment as the Peer Group members -- all of whom are
adequately capitalized institutions and are operating with no apparent
restrictions. Exhibit IV-6 reflects the Bank's pro forma regulatory capital
ratios. On balance, RP Financial concluded that no adjustment to the Bank's
value was warranted for this factor.

Summary of Adjustments
- ----------------------

     Overall, we believe the Bank's pro forma market value should take into
account the valuation adjustments relative to the Peer Group:


     Key Valuation Parameters:                              Valuation Adjustment
     ------------------------                               --------------------

     Financial Condition                                      Moderate Downward
     Profitability, Growth and Viability of Earnings          Moderate Downward

     Management                                               No Adjustment
     Effect of Government Regulations and Regulatory Reform   No Adjustment


Valuation Approaches
- --------------------

     In applying the accepted valuation methodology promulgated by the OTS,
i.e., the pro forma market value approach, we considered the three key pricing
ratios in valuing Middlesboro Federal's to-be-issued stock -- the price/earnings
("P/E"), price/book ("P/B"), and price/assets ("P/A") approaches -- all
performed on a pro forma basis including the effects of the conversion proceeds
from selling the MHC's interest to the public. In computing the pro forma impact
of the conversion and the related pricing ratios, we have incorporated the
assumptions disclosed in Middlesboro Federal's prospectus for offering expenses,
and the effective tax rate and stock benefit plan assumptions (summarized in
Exhibits IV-7 and IV-8). We have utilized the reinvestment rate set forth in the
prospectus, the one year T-Bill rate as of September 30, 1996 of 5.69 percent,
after comparing this rate to the rate derived from the OTS's suggested formula
(6.10 percent), and the blended rate reflecting the Bank's business plan (6.22
percent). With regard to the employee stock ownership plan and stock reward
plans, we have performed the valuation assuming the ESOP purchases an amount
equal to 3.0 percent of the fully converted value (10 year amortization) and the
MRP acquires 4.0 percent of the second step offering. In our estimate of value,
we assessed the relationship of the pro forma pricing ratios relative to the
Peer Group and the recent conversions.

     In addition to the three valuation methodologies specified by the OTS, RP
Financial also considered the recent prices for trades of the Bank's stock.
Overall, however, we heavily discounted the price of Middlesboro Federal's stock
as an indication of value given the absence of regular trading activity and
market makers.

RP Financial's valuation placed emphasis on the following:

     .  P/E Approach.  The P/E approach is generally the best indicator of long-
        ------------                                                           
        term value for a stock. Since the Bank and the Peer Group reported pro
        forma core profitability, the P/E approach was considered in this
        valuation. In applying this approach, we took into account primarily
        estimated core earnings.

     .  P/B Approach.  P/B ratios have generally served as a useful benchmark in
        ------------                                                            
        the valuation of thrift stocks, with the greater determinant of long
        term value being earnings. We have also modified the P/B approach to
        exclude the impact of intangible assets (i.e., price/tangible book value
        or "P/TB"). RP Financial considered the P/TB approach to be a reliable
        indicator of value given current market conditions, particularly the
        market for new conversions, which often exhibit a willingness to pay
        premium P/E multiples in the expectation that such institutions will
        implement leveraging strategies to promote earnings growth. At the same
        time, with lower ROE ratios, new conversions are typically discounted on
        a book value basis relative to the market at least until there is
        partial realization of leveraging strategies.

     .  P/A Approach.  P/A ratios are generally a less reliable indicator of
        ------------                                                        
        market value, as investors do not place exclusive weight simply on the
        size of total assets as a determinant of market value. Furthermore, this
        approach does not take into account the amount of stock purchases funded
        by deposit withdrawals, thus understating the pro forma P/A ratio.
        Investors place significantly greater weight on book value and earnings
        -- which have received greater weight in our valuation analysis. At the
        same time, the P/A ratio is an indicator of franchise value and, in the
        case of a highly capitalized institution, a high P/A ratio limits the
        investment community's willingness to pay average market multiples for
        earnings and book value when ROE is low.

     .  Trading of Middlesboro Federal Stock.  Middlesboro Federal has public
        ------------------------------------                                 
        shares outstanding due to the mutual holding company form of ownership.
        Because there is no liquid market for Middlesboro Federal's minority
        shares of common stock, this valuation method was deemed to be less
        relevant than the other valuation methodologies and therefore was
        heavily discounted in our valuation.

     The Bank intends to adopt Statement of Position ("SOP" 93-6), which will
cause earnings per share computations to be based on shares issued and
outstanding excluding shares owned by an ESOP where there is not a commitment to
release such shares. For the purpose of preparing the pro forma pricing tables
and exhibits, we have reflected all shares issued in the offering including
shares purchased by the ESOP as outstanding to capture the full dilutive impact
of such stock to the Bank's shareholders. However, we have considered the impact
of adoption of SOP 93-6 on the Bank in the determination of the Bank's pro forma
value.

     Based on the application of the OTS valuation approaches, taking into
consideration the valuation adjustments discussed above, and placing the
greatest weight on the P/TB and P/E approaches, followed by the

 
RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.22


P/A approach, and heavily discounting the recent trading activity in Middlesboro
Federal's stock, RP Financial concluded that the pro forma market value of the
Bank's conversion stock is $5,138,636 at the midpoint at this time.

     1.   Price-to-Tangible Book ("P/TB"). The application of the P/TB valuation
          -------------------------------                                       
method requires calculating the Bank's pro forma market value by applying a
valuation P/TB ratio to Middlesboro Federal's pro forma tangible book value.
The pre-conversion book value for Middlesboro Federal of $4,418,000 was equal to
the Bank's reported capital at September 30, 1996, plus the $33,000 of mutual
holding company assets which will be consolidated with the Company as a result
of the conversion.  Based on the $5,138,636 midpoint valuation, Middlesboro
Federal's pro forma P/TB ratio was 72.32 percent.  In comparison to the average
P/TB ratio for the Peer Group of 96.99 percent, Middlesboro Federal's valuation
reflected a discount of 25.44 percent.  RP Financial considered the discount
under the P/TB approach to be reasonable in light of the valuation adjustments
discussed previously.  Given the historically high P/TB pricing for thrifts in
today's market, a valuation discount under the P/TB approach could only be
expected and is consistent with the aftermarket trading of new conversion
issues.

     Given the emphasis on limiting near term aftermarket trading in the revised
appraisal guidelines, RP Financial also considered the pro forma P/TB ratios of
recent conversions in its valuation analysis.  It is these companies that
provide a proxy for aftermarket trading for new thrift issues.  At the midpoint
value of $5,138,636, Middlesboro Federal's pro forma P/TB ratio of 72.32 percent
represented a discount of 20.0 percent from the 90.44 percent average P/TB ratio
of the recently converted thrifts (see Table 4.3).  At the super maximum of the
valuation range, Middlesboro Federal's pro forma P/B ratio of 84.05 percent is
discounted by approximately 7.1 percent from the new conversions.

     2.   Price-to-Earnings ("P/E"). The application of the P/E valuation method
          -------------------------
requires calculating the Bank's pro forma market value by applying a valuation
P/E multiple times the pro forma earnings base. Ideally, the pro forma earnings
base is composed principally of the Bank's recurring earnings base, that is,
earnings adjusted to exclude any one-time non-operating items, plus the
estimated after-tax earnings benefit of the reinvestment of net conversion
proceeds. Middlesboro Federal reported a net loss of $152,000 for the twelve
months ended September 30, 1996. As shown below, the Bank recorded four non-
operating income items during the twelve month period which were all deemed non-
operating and not included in the core earnings base. The Bank's core earnings
were calculated to equal the following (Note: the adjustments applied to the
Peer Group's earnings in the calculation of core earnings are shown in Exhibit
IV-9, including the SAIF assessment):

     Based on Middlesboro Federal's trailing twelve month core earnings, and
incorporating the impact of the pro forma assumptions previously discussed, the
Bank's pro forma core P/E multiple at the $5,138,636 midpoint value equaled
12.53 times.  Comparatively, the Peer Group posted an average core P/E multiple
of 16.47 times, which indicates a discount of 23.92 percent in the Bank's pro
forma earnings multiple.  In reaching the valuation conclusion, we also
evaluated the Bank's price/earnings multiple on the basis of projected earnings
as reflected in the business plan.

     3.   Price-to-Assets ("P/A").  The P/A valuation methodology determines
          -----------------------                                           
market value by applying a valuation P/A ratio to the Bank's pro forma asset
base, conservatively assuming no deposit withdrawals are made to fund stock
purchases.  In all likelihood there will be deposit withdrawals, which results
in understating the pro forma P/A ratio which is computed herein.  At the
midpoint of the valuation range, Middlesboro Federal's value equaled 5.94
percent of pro forma assets.  Comparatively, the Peer Group companies exhibited
an average P/A ratio of 9.68 percent, which implies a 38.64 percent discount
being applied to the Bank's pro forma P/A ratio.

Valuation Conclusion
- --------------------

     It is our opinion that, as of December 13, 1996, the aggregate pro forma
market value of the Bank, inclusive of the sale of the MHC's ownership interest
in the Subscription and Community Offering was $5,138,636 at the midpoint. Based
on this valuation and the approximate 64.71 percent ownership interest being
sold in the Subscription and Community Offerings, the midpoint value of the
Company's stock offering was $3,325,000 (i.e., 0.6471 x $5,138,636), equal to
332,500 shares at a per share value of $10.00. Pursuant to OTS conversion
guidelines, the 15 percent offering range includes a minimum value of $2,826,250
and a maximum value of $3,823,750. Based on the $10.00 per share offering price,
this range equates to an offering of 282,625 shares at the minimum to 382,375
shares at the maximum. The Company's offering also includes a provision for a
superrange, which if exercised, would result in an offering size of $4,397,313,
equal to 439,731

shares at the $10.00 per share offering price. The comparative pro forma
valuation ratios relative to the Peer Group are shown in Table 4.6, and the key
valuation assumptions are detailed in Exhibit IV-7. The pro forma calculations
for the range are detailed in Exhibit IV-8.

Establishment of Exchange Ratio
- -------------------------------

     OTS regulations provide that in a conversion of a mutual holding company,
the minority stockholders are entitled to exchange their shares of the Bank's
common stock for common stock of the Company. The Board of Directors of the
Mutual Holding Company has independently established a formula to determine the
exchange ratio. The formula has been designed to preserve the current aggregate
percentage ownership in the Bank represented by the Public Shares, which is an
approximate 35.29 percent ownership interest. Pursuant to the formula, the
Exchange Ratio will be determined at the end of the Company's stock offering
based on the total number of shares sold in the Subscription and Community
offerings. Based upon this formula, and the valuation conclusion and offering
range concluded above, the Exchange Ratio would be 0.8564 shares, 1.0076 shares,
1.1587 shares and 1.3325 shares of Cumberland Mountain stock issued for each
Public Share, at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and supermaximum of the
offering, respectively.

     The Exchange Ratio formula and share exchange procedures were determined
independently by the Board of Directors.  RP Financial expresses no opinion on
the proposed exchange of Company shares for the Public Shares or on the proposed
Exchange Ratio.

                              Classified Assets

     Asset Classification and Allowance for Loan Loses. 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
as loss, the insured institution must either establish specific loss allowances 
in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified as 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 -- 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 quarterly 
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 September 30, 1996, the Bank had $408,000 in assets classified as 
substandard. Substandard loans consisted of seven single-family mortgage loans, 
the largest of which had a balance of $155,000 at September 30, 1996 and seven 
consumer loans with an aggregate balance of $19,000.

- --------------------
(1)  Under the OTS policy, net unrealized gains or losses on securities
     classified as available for sale are excluded from regulatory capital when
     computing core and risk-based capital. The net unrealized loss on
     securities classified as available for sale amounted to $443,000 ($294,000,
     net of tax effect) as of September 30, 1996.
(2)  Tangible and core capital are computed as a percentage of adjusted total
     assets of $84.1 million prior to the consummation of the Offerings and
     $86.4 million, $86.8 million, $87.3 million and $87.9 million following the
     issuance of 282,625, 332,500, 382,375 and 439,731 shares in the Conversion
     and Reorganization, respectively. Risk-based capital is computed as a
     percentage of adjusted risk-weighted assets of $51.6 million prior to the
     consummation of the Offerings and $52.1 million, $52.2 million, $52.3
     million and $52.4 million following the issuance of 282,625, 332,500,
     382,375 and 439,731 shares in the Conversion and Reorganization,
     respectively.
(3)  Does not reflect, in the case of the core capital requirement, the 4.0%
     requirement to be met in order of an institution to be "adequately
     capitalized" under applicable laws and regulations. See "Regulation --
     Regulation of the Bank -- Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action."
(4)  The pro forma risk-based capital ratios (i) reflect the receipt by the 
     Bank of the assets held by the Mutual Holding Company and all but $100,000
     of the estimated net proceeds from the Offerings and (ii) assume the
     investment of the net remaining proceeds received by the Bank in assets
     which have a risk-weight of 20% under applicable regulations, as if such
     net proceeds had been received and so applied at September 30, 1996.
(5)  Includes the $195,000 of general allowance for loan losses that was 
     included in risk-based capital as of September 30, 1996.
