Exhibit 13 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the other sections contained in this Annual Report. The Company's results of operations depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. The Company's results of operations also are affected by the provision for loan losses, resulting from management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; the level of its other income; the level of its other expenses; and income tax expense. Net income for fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997 amounted to $989,000, $744,000 and $553,000, respectively. Net income during such periods primarily resulted from net interest income, which amounted to $4.7 million, $4.1 million and $ 3.5 million, respectively for fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997. Net interest income is determined by the interest rate spread and the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. During fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Savings Bank's average interest rate spread was 3.00%, 2.92% and 2.97%, respectively. In addition, at September 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the ratios of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities amounted to 140.67%, 120.76% and 111.29%, respectively. In addition to the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Economic circumstances, the Company's operations and actual results could differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are discussed herein but also include changes in the economy and market interest rates generally and in the Company's market area. The forward-looking statements contained herein include, but are not limited to, those with respect to the following matters: 1. Management's determination of the amount of and adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; 2. The effect of changes in interest rates; 3. Management's opinion as to the effects of recent accounting pronouncements on the Company's consolidated financial statements; 4. Management's belief that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with the Savings Bank and that the Savings Bank will continue to have sufficient funds to meet its current commitments; and 5. Computer problems related to the year 2000. 3 ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT Columbia Federal, like other financial institutions, is subject to interest rate risk to the extent that its interest-earning assets reprice differently than its interest-bearing liabilities. The Savings Bank has sought to reduce its exposure of its earnings to changes in market interest rates by managing asset and liability maturities and interest rates through the origination of adjustable-rate mortgage loans ("ARMS"), the purchase of adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities and the offering of more competitive rates on longer term deposits. Also, the Savings Bank has purchased shorter term and available-for-sale investments as an additional way to reduce its exposure to changes in market rates. If the Savings Bank's assets mature or reprice more quickly or to a greater extent than its liabilities, the Savings Bank's net portfolio value and net interest income would tend to increase during periods of rising interest rates but decrease during periods of falling interest rates. If the Savings Bank's assets mature or reprice more slowly or to a lesser extent than its liabilities, the Savings Bank's net portfolio value and net interest income would tend to decrease during periods of rising interest rates but increase during periods of falling interest rates. As a result of the Savings Bank's efforts, as of September 30, 1999, $6.5 million, or 11.1%, of the Savings Bank's portfolio of one-to-four family residential mortgage loans consisted of ARMs, and $6.7 million, or 33.7%, of the Savings Bank's portfolio of mortgage-backed securities have adjustable rates. With respect to liabilities, the Savings Bank prices deposit accounts based upon competitive factors. Pursuant to this policy, the Savings Bank has generally neither engaged in sporadic increases or decreases in interest rates paid nor offered the highest rates available in its deposit market except upon specific occasions to control deposit flow or when market conditions have created opportunities to attract longer-term deposits. In addition, the Savings Bank does not pursue an aggressive growth strategy which would force the Savings Bank to focus exclusively on competitors' rates rather than affordability. This policy has assisted the Savings Bank in controlling its cost of funds. MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to interest rate risk, exchange rate risk, equity price risk and commodity price risk. The Savings Bank does not maintain a trading account for any class of financial instrument, and is not currently subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk, equity price risk or commodity price risk. The Savings Bank's market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk. The Savings Bank uses Net Portfolio Value ("NPV") as set forth in regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position of the Savings Bank and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to interest rate risk. Generally, NPV is the discounted present value of the difference between incoming cash flows on interest-earning and other assets and outgoing cash flows on interest-bearing and other liabilities. The application of the methodology attempts to quantify interest rate risk as the change in the NPV which would result from a theoretical 200 basis point (1 basis point equals .01%) change in market interest rates. Both a 200 basis point increase in market interest rates and a 200 basis point decrease in market interest rates are considered. Utilizing this measurement concept, at September 30, 1999, there would have been a decrease in the Savings Bank's NPV of approximately 17% of the 2 4 present value of its assets, assuming a 200 basis point increase in interest rates. Under OTS regulation, if the NPV would decrease more than 2% of the present value of the institution's assets with either an increase or a decrease in market rates, the institution must deduct 50% of the amount of the decrease in excess of such 2% in the calculation of the institution's risk-based capital. Presented below, as of September 30, 1999, is an analysis of Columbia Federal's interest rate risk as measured by changes in NPV for instantaneous and substantial parallel shifts of 100 basis points in market interest rates. The table also contains the policy limits set by the Board of Directors of Columbia Federal as the maximum change in NPV that the Board of Directors deems advisable in the event of various changes in interest rates. Such limits have been established with consideration of the dollar impact of various rate changes and Columbia Federal's strong capital position. As illustrated in the table, Columbia Federal's NPV is more sensitive to rising rates than declining rates. Such difference in sensitivity occurs principally because, as rates rise, borrowers do not prepay fixed-rate loans as quickly as they do when interest rates decline. As a result, in a rising interest rate environment, the amount of interest Columbia Federal would receive on its loans would increase relatively slowly as loans are slowly prepaid and new loans at higher rates are made. Moreover, the interest Columbia Federal would pay on its deposits would increase rapidly because Columbia Federal's deposits generally have shorter periods to repricing. The following table uses OTS assumptions. At September 30, 1999 --------------------------------------------------- Change in Interest $ Change Change Rates(basis Board Limit in NPV % Change NPV In points) $ Amount % Change (In Thousands) in NPV Ratio % -------- -------- -------- -------------- -------- -------- -------- +300 $21,719 -45% -7,655 -26% 20% -5% +200 24,380 -30% -4,993 -17% 22% -3% +100 27,013 -15% -2,360 -8% 24% -1% -- 29,373 -- -- -- 25% -- -100 31,110 -15% +1,736 +6% 26% 1% -200 32,420 -30% +3,047 +10% 27% 2% -300 33,745 -45% +4,372 +15% 28% 2% The NPV is reviewed by the Savings Bank's Board of Directors. The primary goal of the asset/liability management function is to maximize net interest income within the interest rate risk limits set by the Board. Interest rate risk is monitored on a quarterly basis through Board of Directors' meetings. 3 5 CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION FROM SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 GENERAL. CFKY's assets totaled $113.4 million at September 30, 1999, a decrease of $4.4 million, or 3.7% from $117.8 million at September 30, 1998. The decrease resulted primarily from a $2.8 million decrease in cash, a $4.1 million decrease in available-for-sale securities, a $2.0 million decrease in held-to-maturity securities and a $2.4 million decrease in mortgage-backed securities offset by a $6.9 million increase in loans receivable. Deposits increased $2.2 million. LIQUID ASSETS AND INVESTMENTS. Liquid assets (cash and cash equivalents) totaled $3.4 million at September 30, 1999, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 45%, from the total at September 30, 1998. Investment securities held to maturity decreased from $19.0 million to $17.0 million. Investment securities available for sale at September 30, 1998, with a market value of $4.1 million were sold. The decreases in cash and cash equivalents and investment securities was primarily due to the payment of the $3.00 per share special distribution made in June 1999 and an increase in loans receivable. LOANS RECEIVABLE. Net loans receivable equaled $69.1 million at September 30, 1999, compared to $62.2 million at September 30, 1998, an 11% increase mainly attributable to one-to-four family mortgage loans being originated more rapidly than these loans were being repaid. ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES OF LOANS. Columbia Federal's allowance for loan losses totaled $300,000 at September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998. The allowance represented .43% of total net loans at September 30, 1999 and .48% at September 30, 1998. As of September 30, 1999 there was $76,000 in nonperforming loans, which was .11% of total loans. As of September 30, 1998, there was $173,000 in nonperforming loans, which was .28% of total loans. Although management believes that its allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1999, was adequate based upon the available facts and circumstances, there can be no assurances that additions to such allowance will not be necessary in future periods, which could adversely affect CFKY's results of operations. DEPOSITS. Total deposits increased by $2.2 million, to $81.7 million, at September 30, 1999, from $79.5 million at September 30, 1998. This increase resulted primarily from the Savings Bank offering more competitive rates on savings. At September 30, 1999, certificates of deposit that will mature within one year accounted for 41.2% of Columbia Federal's deposit liabilities. CAPITAL. Columbia Federal is required to meet each of three minimum capital standards promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS"), hereinafter described as the tangible capital requirement, the core capital requirement and the risk-based capital requirement. The tangible capital requirement provides for the maintenance of tangible capital, consisting of shareholders' equity less all-intangible assets, equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets. The core capital requirement provides for the maintenance of core capital consisting of tangible capital plus certain forms of supervisory goodwill, equal generally to 4% to 5% of adjusted total assets, depending upon the Savings Bank's examination rating and overall risk. The risk-based capital requirement mandates maintenance of risk-based capital, consisting of core capital plus general loan loss allowances, equal to 8% of risk-weighted assets as defined by OTS regulations. As of September 30, 1999, Columbia Federal's tangible and core capital totaled $27.2 million, or 23.9 % of adjusted total assets, which exceeded the minimum requirements of $4.6 million and $4.6 million by $22.6 million and $22.6 million, respectively. As of September 30, 1999, Columbia Federal's risk-based capital was $27.5 million, or 55.4 % of risk-weighted assets, exceeding the minimum requirement by $23.6 million. 4 6 AVERAGE BALANCES, NET INTEREST INCOME AND YIELDS EARNED AND RATES PAID The following average balance sheet table sets forth for the periods indicated information on the Company regarding: (i) the total dollar amounts of interest income on interest-earning assets and the resulting average yields; (ii) the total dollar amounts of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resulting average costs; (iii) net interest income; (iv) interest rate spread; (v) net interest-earning assets (interest-bearing liabilities); (vi) the net yield earned on interest-earning assets; and (vii) the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities.

For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior year rate), (ii) changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year volume), and (iii) total change in rate and volume. The combined effect of changes in both rate and volume has been allocated proportionately to the change due to rate and the change due to volume.

The Company recorded net income of $989,000 for the year ended September 30, 1999, compared to $744,000 for the year ended September 30, 1998. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in net interest income of $629,000, a decrease in provision for loan losses of $66,000 and an increase of $6,000 in non-interest income. Such changes were partially offset by a $327,000 increase in non-interest expenses and a $129,000 increase in federal income tax expense. NET INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased $105,000 for the year ended September 30, 1999, compared to the year ended September 30, 1998. This was a result of a $4.2 million increase in average interest-earning assets from $110.2 million for the year ended September 30, 1998 to $114.4 million for the year ended September 30, 1999. Interest expense for the year ended September 30, 1999 was $3.7 million, a decrease of $524,000 or 12.5%. The decrease in interest expense was a result of a decrease of $9.9 million in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a decrease in the cost of funds from 4.59% for the year ended September 30, 1998 to 4.51% for the year ended September 30, 1999. The Company's net interest rate spread was 3.00% for the year ended September 30, 1999, compared to 2.92% for the year ended September 30, 1998. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. For the year ended September 30, 1999, the provision for loan losses was $8,000, a decrease of $66,000, or 82.9%, compared to the year ended September 30, 1998. In determining reasonably estimable losses on loans, management considers loss experience, the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, an analysis of specific loans in the assessment of general trends in relevant real estate markets and current and prospective economic conditions, including property values, employment rates, interest rates and other conditions that affect a borrower's ability to comply with repayment terms. Based upon these considerations, management decided the allowance for loan losses should be $300,000 for September 30, 1999, the same balance as September 30, 1998. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Savings Bank's allowance for losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Savings Bank to provide additions to the allowance based upon judgements different from those of management. Although management uses the best information available, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions that may be beyond the Savings Bank's control. There can be no assurance that the amount of past or future provisions for losses on loans or the balance of the allowance for losses on loans account will be adequate to absorb actual losses on loans in the future. NON-INTEREST INCOME AND NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest income increased $6,000, or 5.4%, to $117,000 for the year ended September 30, 1999, compared to $111,000 for the same period in 1998. This increase was primarily due to an increase in fee income. Non-interest expense increased $327,000 or 10.91%, to $3.3 million. The primary reasons for this increase were an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $181,000, an increase in property and license tax of $21,000, an increase in advertising expense of $14,000 and an increase in other expenses of $124,000. These increases were primarily the result of costs associated with the ESOP, and costs associated with the operation of a public company. These increases were partially offset by a $26,000 decrease in office expenses and a $6,000 decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums as a result of the recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund. 7 9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997 GENERAL. The Company recorded net income of $744,000 for the year ended September 30, 1998, compared to $553,000 for the year ended September 30, 1997. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in net interest income of $539,000, a decrease in provision for loan losses of $39,000 and an increase of $23,000 in non-interest income. Such changes were partially offset by a $330,000 increase in other expenses. NET INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased $279,000 for the year ended September 30, 1998, compared to the year ended September 30, 1997. This was a result of a $7.8 million increase in average interest-earning assets from $102.4 million for the year ended September 30, 1997 to $110.2 million for the year ended September 30, 1998. This increase in interest-earning assets was partially offset by a reduction in yield on earning assets from 7.81% to 7.51% for the year ended September 30, 1998. The increase in interest-earning assets is a result of investing the net proceeds from the stock offering. Interest expense for the year ended September 30, 1998 was $4.2 million, a decrease of $260,000 or 5.84%. This was a result of a decrease of $763,000 in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a .25% decrease in the cost of funds from 4.84% for the year ended September 30, 1997 to 4.59% for the year ended September 30, 1998. The Company's net interest rate spread was 2.92% for the year ended September 30, 1998, compared to 2.97% for the year ended September 30, 1997. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. For the year ended September 30, 1998 the provision for loan losses was $74,000, a decrease of $39,000, or 34.5%, compared to the year ended September 30, 1997. Historically management has emphasized Columbia Federal's loss experience over other factors in establishing provisions for losses on loans. During the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, management determined that other factors should also be considered in determining reasonably estimable losses on loans. Among the other factors to be considered are the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, an analysis of specific loans in the portfolio, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the assessment of general trends in relevant real estate markets and current and prospective economic conditions, including property values, employment rates, interest rates and other conditions that affect a borrower's ability to comply with repayment terms. Based upon these consideration management decided the allowance for loan losses should be $300,000 for September 30, 1998, the same balance as September 30, 1997. NON-INTEREST INCOME AND NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest income increased $13,000, or 13.27%, to $111,000 for the year ended September 30, 1998, compared to $98,000 for the same period in 1997. This increase was primarily due to an increase in fee income. Non-interest expense increased $330,000, or 12.4%, to $3.0 million. The primary reasons for this increase were an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $241,000, an increase in office expense of $40,000, an increase in other expenses of $61,000 and an increase in advertising expense of $13,000. These increases were primarily the result of cost associated with the Company's new Employee Stock Ownership Plan, the relocation of the Florence office, which increased advertising, furniture, telephone and stationary costs, and cost associated with the operation of a public company. These increases were partially offset by a $28,000 decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums as a result of the recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund. 8 10 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Savings Bank's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing and financing activities. The Savings Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans, sales of loans, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments and funds provided from operations. While scheduled loan amortization and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Savings Bank manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a steady deposit balance. In addition, the Savings Bank invests excess funds in overnight deposits and other short-term interest-earning assets which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. The Savings Bank has generally been able to generate enough cash through the retail deposit market, its traditional funding source, to offset the cash utilized in investing activities. As an additional source of funds, the Savings Bank may borrow from the FHLB of Cincinnati. At September 30, 1999, the Savings Bank had $1 million in outstanding advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as overnight deposits. On a longer-term basis, the Savings Bank maintains a strategy of investing in various lending products. The Savings Bank uses its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments, to pay maturing savings certificates and savings withdrawals and fund loan commitments. At September 30, 1999, the total approved loan commitments outstanding, excluding construction loans, amounted to $1.5 million. At the same date, the unadvanced portion of construction loans approximated $3.2 million. Investment securities scheduled to mature within one year or less is $2.0 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 1999 totaled $33.6 million. The Savings Bank did not have any mortgage-backed securities scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 1999. Management believes that a significant portion of maturing deposits will remain with the Savings Bank. The Savings Bank anticipates that it will continue to have sufficient funds to meet its current commitments. The Savings Bank is required by the OTS to maintain average daily balances of liquid assets (as defined) in an amount equal to 4% of net withdrawable deposits and borrowings payable in one year or less to assure its ability to meet demand for withdrawals and repayment of short-term borrowings. The liquidity requirements may vary from time to time at the direction of the OTS depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows. The Savings Bank generally maintains a liquidity ratio of at least 8% of its net withdrawable deposits and borrowings payable in one year or less. The Savings Bank's average quarterly liquidity ratio for September 1999 was 23.4%. Federally insured savings institutions are required to satisfy three different OTS capital requirements. Under these standards, savings institutions must maintain "tangible" capital equal to at least 1.5% of adjusted total assets, "core" capital generally equal to at least 4% of adjusted total assets and "total" capital (a combination of core and "supplementary" capital) equal to at least 8% of "risk-weighted" assets. For purposes of the regulation, core capital is defined as common stockholders' equity (including retained earnings), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, minority interests in the equity accounts of fully consolidated subsidiaries, certain nonwithdrawable accounts and pledged deposits and qualifying supervisory goodwill. Core capital is generally reduced by the amount of a savings institution's intangible assets. Tangible capital is core capital less all intangible assets, with a limited exception for purchased mortgage servicing rights. Risk-based capital is defined as core capital plus certain additional items of capital, which in the case of the Savings Bank, includes a general valuation allowance for losses on loans of $300,000 at September 30, 1999. 9 11 Under the "prompt corrective action" regulations of OTS, a savings bank that has not received the highest possible examination rating may become subject to corrective action if its core capital is less than 4% of its adjusted total assets. The Savings Bank substantially exceeded each of the above-described regulatory capital requirements at September 30, 1999. See Note 19 of the Notes to the Financial Statements. IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES The consolidated financial statements of the Company and related notes presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." Statement No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The objective of the Statement is to report a measure of all changes in equity of an enterprise that result from transactions and other economic events during the period other than transactions with owners ("Comprehensive income"). Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all other nonowner changes in equity. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Management has adopted SFAS No. 130, and it has not had a material effect on the disclosures required for the Company. In July, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." Statement No. 131 requires disclosures for each segment that are similar to those required under current standards with the addition of quarterly disclosure requirements and a finer partitioning of geographic disclosures. It requires limited segment data on a quarterly basis. It also requires geographic data by country, as opposed to broader geographic regions as permitted under current standards. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Management has adopted SFAS No. 131, and it has not had a material effect on the disclosures required for the Company. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999, and is not expected to have a material impact on the disclosures or accounting principles of the Company. In October, 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise." Statement No. 134 requires entities conducting certain mortgage banking activities to classify mortgage-backed securities retained after a securitization as trading securities. This pronouncement had no material effects on the disclosures or accounting principles of the Company. 10 12 YEAR 2000 READINESS Because the Savings Bank's operations rely extensively on computer systems, the Savings Bank is addressing problems associated with the possibility that computer systems will not recognize the year 2000 ("Y2K") correctly. The Savings Bank has developed a Year 2000 Plan, which was presented to the Board of Directors in 1997. The Board of Directors appointed a Year 2000 Committee, which reports to the Board of Directors quarterly. The Savings Bank relies primarily on third-party vendors for its computer output and processing, as well as other significant functions and services, such as securities safekeeping services, ATM service, and wire transfers. The Year 2000 Committee has contacted all major vendors to assess their Y2K readiness, and all modifications to existing hardware and software and conversions to new hardware and software believed necessary to ensure that critical systems will function properly, have been completed. All date-dependent equipment and related software throughout the Savings Bank have been inventoried and tested for Y2K capabilities. Equipment identified as not being Y2K compatible has been replaced. The cost for this new hardware and software was approximately $15,000. If the modifications and conversions by both third-party vendors and the Savings Bank fail to function properly, the operations and financial condition of the Company could be materially adversely affected. The Savings Bank has developed contingency plans for continued operations in the event of system failure. In addition, financial institutions may experience increases in problem loans and credit losses in the event that borrowers fail to prepare properly for Y2K, and higher funding costs could result if consumers react to publicity about the issue by withdrawing deposits. The Savings Bank has assessed such risks among its customers. The Company could also be materially adversely affected if other third parties, such as governmental agencies, clearinghouses, telephone companies, utilities and other service providers fail to prepare properly. RECENT LEGISLATION On November 12, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "GLB Act") was enacted into law. The GLB Act makes sweeping changes in the financial services in which various types of financial institutions may engage. The Glass-Steagall Act, which had generally prevented banks from affiliating with securities and insurance firms, was repealed. A new "financial holding company," which owns only well capitalized and well managed depository institutions, will be permitted to engage in a variety of financial activities, including insurance and securities underwriting and agency activities. The GLB Act permits unitary savings and loan holding companies in existence on May 4, 1999, including the Company, to continue to engage in all activities in which they were permitted to engage prior to the enactment of the Act. Such activities are essentially unlimited, provided that the thrift subsidiary remains a qualified thrift lender. Any thrift holding company formed after May 4, 1999, will be subject to the same restrictions as a multiple thrift holding company. In addition, a unitary thrift holding company in existence on May 4, 1999, may be sold only to a financial holding company engaged in activities permissible for multiple savings and loan holding companies. The GLB Act is not expected to have a material effect on the activities in which the Company and the Savings Bank currently engage, except to the extent that competition with other types of 11 13 financial institutions may increase as they engage in activities not permitted prior to enactment of the GLB Act. MARKET PRICE OF COMPANY SHARES AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS The Conversion of Columbia Federal from mutual form to stock form and the formation of the Company as the holding company of Columbia Federal (the "Conversion") was completed on April 15, 1998. In connection with the Conversion, the Company issued 2,671,450 common shares to certain depositors of the Savings Bank and an employee benefit plan of the Company. At December 1, 1999, the Company had 2,650,950 common shares outstanding, which were held by approximately 1,348 stockholders. Such figure does not reflect the number of beneficial owners of common shares. Information about the Company's common shares is quoted on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "CFKY." The high and low bid quotations for the common shares for each of the quarters since the Conversion as well as cash dividends declared during these periods were as follows: Quotations Dividends High Bid Low Bid Amount Payment Date -------- ------- ------ ------------ June 30, 1998 $17.75 $14.38 N/A N/A September 30, 1998 15.00 11.50 $ .07 August 7, 1998 December 31, 1998 12.38 12.25 .07 November 6, 1998 March 31, 1999 12.75 12.25 .07 February 12, 1999 June 30, 1999 11.50 11.50 .07 May 7, 1999 September 30, 1999 13.25 13.25 .07 August 6, 1999 3.00 June 8, 1999 The bid prices of the Company's common shares reflect inter-dealer quotations and do not include markups, markdowns or commissions and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. In addition to certain federal income tax considerations, OTS regulations impose limitations on the payment of dividends and other capital distributions by savings banks. Under OTS regulations applicable to converted savings banks, the Savings Bank is not permitted to pay a cash dividend, be reduced below the amount established for the purpose of granting a limited priority claim on the assets of the Savings Bank in the event of a complete liquidation to those members of the Savings Bank before the Conversion who maintain a savings account at the Savings Bank after the Conversion or applicable regulatory capital requirements prescribed by the OTS. An application must be submitted and approval from the OTS must be obtained by a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company (1) if the proposed distribution would cause total distributions for that calendar year to exceed net income for that year to date plus the savings association's retained net income for the preceding two years; (2) if the savings association will not be at least adequately capitalized following the capital distribution; (3) if the proposed distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any applicable statute, regulation or agreement between the savings association and the OTS (or the FDIC), or a condition imposed on the savings association in an OTS-approved application or notice; or, (4) if the savings association has not received certain favorable examination ratings from the OTS. If a savings association subsidiary of a holding company is not required to file an application, it must file a notice with the OTS. 12 14 COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARY FORT MITCHELL, KENTUCKY NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES Columbia Financial of Kentucky, Inc. (the Company) provides financial services to individuals and corporate customers, and is subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Company is also subject to the regulations of certain Federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. The Company is a holding company whose activities are primarily limited to holding the stock of Columbia Federal Savings Bank (the Bank). The Bank conducts a general banking business in Northern Kentucky, which consists of attracting deposits from the general public and primarily applying those funds to the origination of loans for residential, consumer and nonresidential purposes. The Bank's profitability is significantly dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income generated from interest-earning assets (i.e., loans and investments) and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities (i.e., customer deposits and borrowed funds). Net interest income is affected by the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest received or paid on these balances. The level of interest rates paid or received by the Bank can be significantly influenced by a number of environmental factors, such as governmental monetary policy, that are outside management's control. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Columbia Financial of Kentucky, Inc. and its subsidiary, Columbia Federal Savings Bank. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. USE OF ESTIMATES The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the year. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains appraisals for significant properties. Substantial portions of the Bank's loans are secured by real estate in local markets. In addition, foreclosed real estate is located in this same market. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the Bank's loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of foreclosed real estate are susceptible to changes in local market conditions. 19 21 COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. INVESTMENT SECURITIES The Company's investments in securities are classified in three categories and accounted for as follows: TRADING SECURITIES Government bonds held principally for resale in the near term and mortgaged-backed securities held for sale in conjunction with the Company's mortgage banking activities are classified as trading securities and recorded at their fair market values. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in other income. The Company currently has no investments in this category. SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY Bonds, notes and debentures that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts which are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE Securities available-for-sale consist of bonds, notes, debentures, and certain equity securities not classified as trading securities or as securities to be held to maturity. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on securities available-for-sale are reported as a net amount in a separate component of equity until realized. Gains and losses on the sale of securities available-for-sale are determined using the specific-identification method. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the FHLB of Cincinnati. The stock is recorded at cost, which represents anticipated redemption value. MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES These assets are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on purchases. They are not adjusted to the lower of cost or market because management has the intention and ability to hold these assets until maturity. Premiums and 20 22 COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) discounts, if any, are amortized to income using the interest method over the life of the securities. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF BALANCE SHEET RISK The Company does not participate in interest-rate exchange agreements, hedging or other similar financial instruments. LOANS RECEIVABLE Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances less the allowance for loan losses, loans in process and deferred loan origination fees. Loan origination and commitment fees, as well as certain direct origination costs, are deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment over the contractual lives of the related loans using the interest method. Amortization of deferred loan fees is discontinued when a loan is placed on a nonaccrual status. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is based on management's evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired loans, and economic conditions. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Changes in the allowance relating to impaired loans are charged or credited to the provision for loan losses. In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." This Statement, which was amended by SFAS No. 118 as to certain income recognition provisions and financial statement disclosure requirements, requires that impaired loans be measured based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans' effective interest rate or, as an alternative, at the loans' observable market price or fair value of the collateral. SFAS No. 114 was effective for years beginning after December 15, 1994 (October 1, 1995, as to the Company). The Company adopted SFAS No. 114 effective October 1, 1995, without material effect on financial condition or results of operations. A loan is defined under SFAS No. 114 as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In applying the provisions of SFAS No. 114, the Company considers its investment in one-to-four family residential loans and consumer installment loans to be homogeneous and, therefore, excluded from separate identification for evaluation of impairment. With respect to the Company investment in impaired nonresidential and multifamily residential real estate loans, such loans are generally collateral dependent and, as a result, are carried as a practical expedient at the lower of 21 23 COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) cost or fair value. Collateral dependent loans which are more than ninety days delinquent are considered to constitute more than a minimum delay in repayment and are evaluated for impairment under SFAS No. 114 at that time. At September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company had no loans that would be defined as impaired under SFAS No. 114. PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS Provision for losses on loans includes charges to reduce the recorded balances of mortgage loans receivable, uncollected interest and real estate to their estimated net realizable value or fair value, as applicable. Such provisions are based on management's estimate of net realizable value or fair value of the collateral, as applicable, considering the current and currently anticipated future operating or sales conditions, thereby causing these estimates to be particularly susceptible to changes that could result in a material adjustment to results of operations in the near term. Recovery of the carrying value of such loans and real estate is dependent to a great extent on economic, operating and other conditions that may be beyond the Company's control. It is the opinion of management, however, that adequate provision has been made for losses on loans and real estate. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT The cost of premises and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Significant betterments and renewals are capitalized. When premises and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations. The useful lives of premises and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are: Office Properties 5-40 Years Equipment 5-10 Years REAL ESTATE OWNED Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is carried at the lower of cost or fair value at the date of acquisition. Costs include the uncollected loan balance as well as other out-of-pocket costs of acquiring the property. 22 24 COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for federal income taxes in accordance with established financial accounting and reporting standards. A deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset is computed by applying the current statutory tax rates to net taxable or deductible differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future periods. Deferred tax assets are recorded only to the extent that the amount of net deductible temporary differences or carryforward attributes may be utilized against current period earnings, carried back against prior years earnings, offset against taxable temporary differences reversing in future periods or utilized to the extent of management's estimate of future taxable income. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets to the extent that the value of net deductible temporary differences and carryforward attributes exceeds management's estimates of taxes payable on future taxable income. Deferred tax liabilities are provided on the total amount of net temporary differences taxable in the future. STOCK BENEFIT PLANS In conjunction with its offering of common shares, the Company implemented the Columbia Financial of Kentucky, Inc.'s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The ESOP provides retirement benefits for substantially all full-time employees who have completed one year of service. The Company accounts for the ESOP compensation expense using the fair value of ESOP shares allocated to participants during a fiscal year. Expense recognized related to the plan totaled approximately $403,000, $263,000 and $0 for the years ended September 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. ADVERTISING Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

The Bank had no outstanding FHLB advances at September 30, 1998. The FHLB advances were 90-day advances, which carry an adjustable interest rate. The advances were collateralized by the Bank's first mortgage loans. NOTE 11 - RETIREMENT PLANS The Bank maintains a 401(k) retirement plan for the benefit of all its employees. Employees can contribute up to fifteen percent (15%) of their compensation to the plan. The Bank matches one-half of the employees' contributions up to a maximum employer match of three percent (3%) of compensation. By its nature, the plan is fully funded. 28 30 COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 11 - RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED) The Bank participates in a non-contributory multi-employer defined benefit retirement plan covering substantially all employees. Eligibility for this plan includes one year of service, age 21 and working 1,000 hours. Due to the nature of this multi-employer plan, separate accumulated benefit and net assets available for benefits is unavailable for the Bank's portion. The plan is funded through annuity contracts. NOTE 12 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN The Company has established an ESOP for its employees. As part of the Conversion, the ESOP borrowed funds from the Company. The loan was equal to 100% of the aggregate purchase price of the Company's shares acquired by the ESOP. The loan to the ESOP is being repaid principally from the Bank's contributions to the ESOP over a period of eleven years, and the collateral for the loan is the common shares purchased by the ESOP. The interest rate for the ESOP loan is a fixed rate of 9.5%. The Company may, in any plan year, make additional discretionary contributions for the benefit of the plan participants in either cash or shares, which may be acquired through the purchase of outstanding shares in the market or from individual shareholders, upon the original issuance of additional shares by the Company or upon the sale of treasury shares by the Company. Such purchases, if made, would be funded through dividends or other capital distributions paid by the Company on shares held by the ESOP. The timing, amount and manner of future contributions to the ESOP will be affected by various factors, including prevailing regulatory policies, the requirements of applicable laws and regulations and market conditions. Shares purchased by the ESOP with the proceeds of the loan are held in a suspense account and released on a pro rata basis as debt service payments are made. Discretionary contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the suspense account are allocated among participants on the basis of compensation. Participants are 100% vested in their right to receive their account balances within the ESOP. Accounting principles requires that any third party borrowing by the ESOP be reflected as a liability on the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition. Since the ESOP borrowed from the Company, such obligation is not treated as a liability, but is excluded from shareholders' equity. If the ESOP purchases newly issued shares from the Company, total shareholders' equity would neither increase nor decrease, but per share shareholders' equity and per share net earnings would decrease as the newly issued shares are allocated to the ESOP participants. 29 31 COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 12 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (CONTINUED) The ESOP is subject to the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), and the regulations of the IRS and the Department of Labor. The fair value of the 204,519 and 193,661 unearned ESOP shares at September 30, 1999 and 1998 was approximately $2,710,000 and $2,541,000, respectively. Shares committed to be released during 1999 and 1998 were 36,573 and 20,055, respectively. Shares allocated during 1999 and 1998 were 36,573 and 20,055, respectively. Employee and employer contributions to the 401(k) plan and retirement plan expense were as follows: Years Ended September 30, ------------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- (In Thousands) 401(k) Plan Employee Contributions $ 66 $ 68 $82 Employer Contributions 33 31 30 Multi-Employer Defined Benefit Retirement Plan 81 87 75 ESOP 403 263 -- NOTE 13 - RETAINED EARNINGS Through 1996, the Bank was allowed a special bad debt deduction for federal income tax purposes limited to a certain percentage of otherwise taxable income. This deduction was subject to certain limitations based on aggregate loans and savings account balances. If the amounts that qualify for this deduction are later used for purposes other than for bad debt losses, they will be subject to federal income tax at the then current corporate rate. Retained earnings include approximately $3.1 million for which federal income tax has not been provided. 30 32 COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 14 - INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. The principal source of temporary differences are depreciation methods, allowance for loan losses, different methods of recognizing income on loan closing fees, accrued expense, and nontaxable stock dividends. The net deferred tax asset (liability) includes the following components: 1999 1998 ---- ---- (In Thousands) Deferred Tax Assets Deferred Loan Fees $ -- $ 21 Net Operating Loss (Company) 164 46 Accrued RRP 20 -- Allowance for Loan Losses 102 102 --- --- Total Deferred Tax Asset 286 169 --- --- Deferred Tax Liabilities Book Value of Federal Home Loan Bank Stock Over Tax Basis 250 240 Special Tax Bad Debt Deduction 58 80 Depreciation 23 21 --- --- Total Deferred Tax Liabilities 331 341 --- --- Net Deferred Asset (Liability) $(45) $(172) === === No valuation allowance has been provided for deferred tax assets because management expects to be able to benefit from these temporary deductible differences. A reconciliation of income tax expense at the statutory rate (34% for all periods) to income tax expense at the Company's effective rate is as follows: 1999 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- (Dollars In Thousands) Computed Tax at the Expected Statutory Rate $509 $ 382 $290 Nondeductible Expenses -- 1 2 Other Differences -- (3) 8 ---- ---- ---- $509 $380 $300 ==== ==== ==== Effective Rate 34% 34% 35% ==== ==== ==== 31 33 COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC.

This new tax law did not have a significant effect on the Company's financial statements. NOTE 15 - STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS On July 15, 1999, the Company adopted the Columbia Financial of Kentucky, Inc. Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP") and awarded 106,438 shares of stock to various employees. These awards vest ratably over a five-year period commencing in July 2000. A provision of $53,000 was charged to expense in the fourth quarter of the year ended September 30, 1999. Also, on July 15, 1999 the Company adopted the Columbia Financial of Kentucky, Inc. 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Plan") providing for 266,095 shares of the Company to be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options at the fair value at the date of the grant. During the year, options have been granted for 252,600 shares to directors, executive officers and certain employees at the fair value of $11.00 per share. As of September 30, 1999, none of the stock options granted have been exercised. SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" contains a fair-value based method for valuing stock-based compensation that entities may use, which measures compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Compensation is then recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 permits entities to continue to account for stock options and similar equity instruments under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25. "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Entities that continue to account for stock options using APB Opinion No. 25, are required to make pro forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share, as if the fair-value based method of accounting defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company utilized APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for the Plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the Plan. Had compensation cost for the Company's Plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the Plan consistent with the accounting method utilized in SFAS No. 123, the Company's net earnings and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated as follows: 32 34 COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC.

NOTE 16 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Bank has mortgage loans outstanding with various officers, directors and employees and their relatives. The activity on these loans is shown below: 1999 1998 ---- ---- (In Thousands) Balance at Beginning of Year $ 1,078 $ 909 New Loans Made 396 219 Payment of Principal (144) (50) ------- ------- Balance at End of Year $ 1,330 $ 1,078 ======= ======= During 1997, the Bank adopted a policy that loans are granted to officers and employees on their primary residence at interest rates that are discounted by 1% from the Bank's normal lending rate. The rate is only in effect while the person is affiliated with the Bank. Also, this policy allows officers and employees to finance investment property at rates and costs available to the general public. All of these loans require board approval and will be repaid with regular monthly payments in the ordinary course of business. The Bank had deposits from various officers and directors totaling approximately $1,317,000 and $1,248,000 as of September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. NOTE 17 - INTEREST RATE RISK The Bank is engaged principally in providing first mortgage loans to individuals on residential properties. At September 30, 1999, the Bank's assets consisted of significant amounts of mortgages which earned interest at fixed interest rates. Those assets were funded primarily with short-term liabilities which have interest rates that vary with market rates over time. 33 35 COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 17 - INTEREST RATE RISK (CONTINUED) At September 30, 1999, the Bank had interest-earning loans and interest-bearing deposits as follows: Effective Interest Maximum Amount Rate Terms/Duration ------ ---- -------------- (In millions, except percents) INTEREST-EARNING LOANS Fixed Mortgages and Participations $ 64.9 8.19% 30 years Adjustable Mortgages and Participations 8.4 7.60% 30 years INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES Deposit Accounts 81.7 4.27% 5 years NOTE 18 - RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME AND RETAINED EARNINGS A reconciliation of net income and retained earnings per these audited financial statements with reports filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) as of September 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997 is as follows: Years Ended September 30, --------------------------------------- 1999 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- (In Thousands) NET INCOME Per OTS Report $ 878 $ 540 $ 553 Audit Adjustments Accrued Liabilities -- -- -- Net Income from Holding Company (Adjusted for Consolidating Items) 111 204 -- ------- ------- ------- Net Income Per Statements of Income $ 989 $ 744 $ 553 ======= ======= ======= RETAINED EARNINGS Per OTS Report $14,508 $13,630 $13,090 Net Retained Earnings of Holding Company (Adjusted for Con- solidating Items) (618) 17 -- ------- ------- ------- Retained Earnings Per Balance Sheets $13,890 $13,647 $13,090 ======= ======= ======= 34 36 COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 19 - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS Banks are required to maintain capital at least sufficient to meet three separate requirements: (i) tangible capital equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets, (ii) core capital equal to an amount generally between 4% and 5% of adjusted total assets, depending on the bank's examination rating and overall risk, and (iii) risk-based capital equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. Any bank that is not in compliance with the capital standards may have growth restrictions placed on it by the OTS. Additionally, the OTS has discretion to treat the failure of any Bank to maintain capital at or above the minimum required level as an "unsafe and unsound practice" subject to a number of enforcement actions. At September 30, 1999 information with respect to the Bank's capital ratios is summarized as follows: Tangible Core Risk-Based Capital Capital Capital ------- ------- ------- (Dollars In Thousands) Capital under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles $27,249 $27,249 $27,249 Capital Reconciling Items: General Valuation Allowance -- -- 300 ------- ------- ------- Regulatory Capital 27,249 27,249 27,549 Less Minimum Capital Requirements 4,560 4,560 3,981 ------- ------- ------- Capital in Excess of Minimum Requirements $22,689 $22,689 $23,568 ======= ======= ======= Regulatory Capital as a Percentage of Applicable Total Assets 23.9% 23.9% 55.4% Less Minimum Capital as a Percentage of Applicable Total Assets 1.5% 4.0% 8.0% ------- ------- ------- Regulatory Capital as a Percentage of Applicable Total Assets in Excess of Requirements 22.4% 19.9% 47.4% ======= ======= ======= The Bank's management believes that, under the current regulations, the Bank will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. However, events beyond the control of the Bank, such as increased interest rates or a downturn in the economy in areas where the Bank has most of its loans, could adversely affect future earnings and, consequently, the ability of the Bank to meet its future minimum capital requirements. 35 37 COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 19 - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (CONTINUED) Under the "prompt corrective action" regulations of the OTS, a savings bank that has not received the highest possible examination rating may become subject to corrective action if its core capital is less than 4% of its adjusted total assets. NOTE 20 - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the statement of financial condition. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Bank. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments: Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the statement of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets' fair values. Investment Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities: Fair values for these securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. Loans: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying amounts. The fair values for other loans (for example, fixed rate commercial real estate and rental property mortgage loans and commercial and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Loan fair value estimates include judgments regarding future expected loss experience and risk characteristics. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value. Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (for example, interest- bearing checking accounts and passbook accounts) are, by definition, equal to amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). The fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated contractual maturities on such time deposits. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates fair value. 36 38 COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 20 - FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED) The estimated fair values of the Bank's financial instruments are as follows: September 30, 1999 ------------------ Carrying Fair Amount Value ------ ----- (In Thousands) Financial Assets: Cash and Cash Equivalents $ 3,441 $ 3,441 Investment Securities 16,999 16,664 Mortgage-backed Securities 19,968 19,610 Loans, Net 69,089 69,251 Financial Liabilities: Deposits 81,654 81,829 FHLB Advances 1,000 1,000 The carrying amounts in the preceding table are included in the statement of financial condition under the applicable captions. NOTE 21 - DEPOSIT INSURANCE Deposits of the Bank are currently insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). Both the SAIF and the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), the deposit insurance fund that covers most commercial bank deposits, are statutorily required to be recapitalized to a ratio of 1.25% of insured reserve deposits. NOTE 22 - EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share amounts for the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 are based upon the average outstanding shares of the Company reduced by the unreleased shares of the ESOP. The basic average number of shares outstanding was approximately 2,458,000 for the year ended September 30, 1999 and for the period after conversion through September 30, 1998. The earnings per share for 1998 is for the income earned for the period from the Conversion (April 15, 1998) through September 30, 1998. The diluted average number of shares outstanding was approximately 2,467,000 for the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. The diluted earnings per share amount is based upon the basic shares outstanding. 37 39 COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 23 - CORPORATE REORGANIZATION On October 9, 1997, the Board of Directors of Columbia Federal unanimously adopted a Plan of Conversion to convert Columbia Federal from a federal mutual savings bank to a federal stock savings bank with the concurrent formation of a newly formed holding company. The Company incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio. The Conversion was accomplished through the adoption of a Federal Stock Charter and Federal Stock Bylaws and the sale of the Company's common shares in an amount equal to the proforma market value of the Bank after giving effect to the Conversion. A subscription offering of the shares of the Company to the Bank's members and to the ESOP was conducted. The Conversion was completed on April 15, 1998, and resulted in the issuance of 2,671,450 common shares of the Company which, after consideration of offering expenses totaling approximately $775,000 and shares purchased by the ESOP of $2.1 million, resulted in net proceeds of $23.8 million. At the time of Conversion, the Bank established a liquidation account in an amount equal to its regulatory capital as of September 30, 1997. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible depositors who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent eligible depositors have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases in deposits will not restore an eligible account holder's interest in the liquidation account. In the event of complete liquidation, and only in such event, each eligible depositor will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then held. The Bank may not pay dividends that would reduce shareholders' equity below the required liquidation account balance. Under OTS regulations, limitations have been imposed on all "capital distributions", including cash dividends by savings institutions. The regulation establishes a three-tiered system of restrictions, with the greatest flexibility afforded to thrifts which are both well-capitalized and given favorable qualitative examination ratings by the OTS. Conversion costs reduced the proceeds from the shares sold in connection with the Conversion. 38 40 COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC.
