CENTRAL FEDERAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES STOCKHOLDER
PASSAGE OF REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

Fairlawn, Ohio - March 14, 2005 - Central Federal Corporation (Nasdaq: GCFC)
announced stockholders passed a 1-for-325 reverse stock split at a special
meeting of stockholders held today. The Company had announced in October 2004
that it would ask stockholders to approve a reverse stock split in an effort to
ease the economic and management burden of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002 and federal securities laws. The Board of Directors established a
reverse stock split ratio of 1-to-500 shares and set $14.50 per share as a fair
price to compensate stockholders who held fewer than 500 shares on the effective
date and who would no longer remain stockholders of the Company after the
effective date. As discussed in the Company's February 2, 2005 press release,
significant numbers of individuals had purchased share lots in quantities of 499
or fewer shares. The dramatic increase in shares held by stockholders who owned
fewer than 500 shares had increased substantially the cost of the Company's
effecting its going private transaction.

As discussed in the Company's February 11, 2005 press release, the Board of
Directors revised the ratio of the reverse stock split to 1-to-325 in an effort
to reduce the aggregate cost of repurchasing shares. Moreover, the Board also
reserved the right to abandon the transaction following stockholder approval in
the interest of the Company and its shareholders if the cost of the transaction
is expected to exceed $2 million. The Board is expected to make a decision
within two weeks about whether to proceed with the reverse stock split
transaction.
