NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies of Citizens First Corporation (the
"Company") and its subsidiary, Citizens First Bank, Inc. (the "Bank"), conform
to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
general practices within the banking industry. The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. All significant
intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company's
annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or
omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Estimates used in the preparation of the financial
statements are based on various factors including the current interest rate
environment and the general strength of the local economy. Changes in the
overall interest rate environment can significantly affect the Company's net
interest income and the value of its recorded assets and liabilities. Actual
results could differ from those estimates used in the preparation of the
financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been reflected in the accompanying unaudited financial
statements. Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results
to be expected for the full year. Those adjustments consist only of normal
recurring adjustments. The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of
December 31, 2005, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet
of the Company as of that date.

All references to stock options, earnings per share and the amount of common
stock issued and outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the 5% common stock
dividend that was distributed on May 30, 2005, to record holders of common stock
on April 29, 2005.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

In 2002, the board of directors adopted the employee stock option plan, which
became effective upon the approval of the Company's shareholders at the annual
meeting in April 2003. The purpose of the plan is to afford key employees an
incentive to remain in the employ of the Company and its subsidiaries and to use
their best efforts on its behalf. 126,000 shares of Company common stock have
been reserved for issuance under the plan. Options expire after ten years, and
vest ratably over a three year period.

In 2003, the board of directors adopted the non-employee director stock option
plan for non-employee directors, which became effective subject to the approval
of the Company's shareholders at the annual meeting in April 2003. The purpose
of the plan is to assist the Company in promoting a greater identity of interest
between the Company's non-employee directors and shareholders, and in attracting
and retaining non-employee directors by affording them an opportunity to share
in the Company's future successes. 42,000 shares of common stock have been
reserved for issuance under the plan. Options granted expire after ten years,
and are immediately vested.

The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement
principles of FASB Statement No. 123 Revised (SFAS 123R), Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, effective January 1, 2006. In 2005 and previous years,
these plans were measured under the recognition and measurement principles of
APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
Interpretations. Prior to 2006, no stock-based employee compensation cost was
reflected in net income, as all options granted under this plan had an exercise
price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant
date. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per
share if the Company had applied the fair value provisions of FASB 123 (revised)
for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of the grant using a
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions:

Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year        $ 7.08       $ 4.69



* The dividend yield was estimated using historical dividends paid and market
value information for the Company's stock. An increase in dividend yield will
decrease compensation expense.

* The volatility was estimated using historical volatility for periods
approximating the expected option life.

* The risk-free interest rate was developed using the U.S. Treasury yield curve
for periods equal to the expected life of the options on the grant date. An
increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase stock compensation
expense.
</TABLE>

SFAS 123R requires the recognition of stock-based compensation for the number of
awards that are ultimately expected to vest. For the quarter end March 31, 2006,
compensation expense recorded was $46,514. As of March 31, 2006, unrecognized
compensation expense associated with stock options was $504,011 which is
expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3 years.

A summary of the status of the plans at March 31, 2006 and 2005, and changes
during the periods then ended is presented below:

(4) ACQUISITION OF COMMONWEALTH MORTGAGE AND SOUTHERN KENTUCKY LAND TITLE
On January 2, 2003, the Bank acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Commonwealth Mortgage of Bowling Green, Inc. and Southern Kentucky Land Title,
Inc. Commonwealth Mortgage originates 1-4 family residential mortgages for sale
in the secondary mortgage market, while Southern Kentucky Land Title provides
title insurance agency services for real estate purchase contracts. The purchase
price for Commonwealth Mortgage and Southern Kentucky Land Title consisted of
$400,000 in cash plus a deferred contingent purchase price of up to $1,350,000
payable upon the combined entities' achievement of specified annual earnings
targets over a five year period, plus 25% of the amount, if any, by which their
earnings exceed such targets. 25% of the deferred purchase price will be paid by
the issuance of the Company's common stock, valued at the average of the closing
sales price of the stock over the last ten trading days of the applicable
calendar year. At the former Commonwealth shareholders' option, an additional
25% of such deferred purchase price, if any, may be paid in shares of the
Company's common stock. The deferred contingent purchase price is accounted for
as additional purchase price at the time the contingency is resolved. The Bank
also purchased the .2 acre site on which the main office of Commonwealth
Mortgage is located for a purchase price of $272,500 in cash. Goodwill
recognized in the initial transaction amounted to $380,000. In January 2004, the
Bank paid $162,401 in cash, and in April 2004 the Company issued 3,790 shares of
the Company's common stock, to the former Commonwealth shareholders as the first
installment of the deferred contingent purchase price. In January 2005, the Bank
paid $251,717 in cash, and in March 2005 the Company issued 5,778 shares of the
Company's common stock to the former Commonwealth shareholders as the second
installment of the deferred contingent purchase price. In January 2006, the Bank
paid $246,060 in cash to the former Commonwealth shareholders as the third
installment of the deferred contingent purchase price. At March 31, 2006,
goodwill from this transaction totaled $1,264,516.
                                        9
<PAGE>10
The acquisition of Commonwealth Mortgage and Southern Kentucky Land Title was
completed to give the Bank an expanded presence in the local mortgage
origination market, to further expand the Bank's customer service offerings and
to supplement the Bank's non-interest fee income.


(5) CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK OFFERING
The Company completed during the third quarter of 2004 the private placement of
250 shares of Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, stated value $31,992 per
share (Preferred Stock), for an aggregate purchase price of $7,998,000. The
Preferred Stock was sold for $31,992 per share, is entitled to quarterly
cumulative dividends at an annual fixed rate of 6.5% and is convertible into
shares of common stock of the Company at an initial conversion price per share
of $15.50 on and after three years from the date of issuance. The sale of the
Preferred Stock netted proceeds to the Company of $7,659,340, of which
$3,011,970 (including $3,000,000 in principal and $11,970 in accrued interest)
was used to repay the outstanding balance under the Company's line of credit,
and $3,800,000 was contributed to the capital of the Bank. The remaining
proceeds from the issuance of the Preferred Stock are being used for general
corporate purposes, including the contribution of capital to the Bank.



(6)  EARNINGS PER SHARE
On April 20, 2005, the Board of Directors declared a 5% common stock dividend to
shareholders of record on April 29, 2005, payable May 30, 2005. All references
to common shares and earnings per share have been restated to reflect the stock
dividend. There are no anti-dilutive stock options. Basic earnings per share
have been computed by dividing net income available for common shareholders by
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
earnings per share have been computed the same as basic earnings per share, and
assumes the conversion of outstanding vested stock options and convertible
preferred stock. The following table reconciles the basic and diluted earnings
per share computations for the quarters ending March 31, 2006 and 2005.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL
Citizens First Corporation ("the Company") was incorporated in Kentucky on
December 24, 1975 for the purpose of conducting business as an investment club,
and is headquartered in Bowling Green, Kentucky. In late 1998 and early 1999,
the Company received regulatory approval to become a bank holding company under
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, through its organization and
ownership of its subsidiary, Citizens First Bank, Inc. (the "Bank"). The
Company, through the Bank, is now involved in the banking business, primarily
serving customers in the Bowling Green/Warren County market and in the
Franklin/Simpson County market. As of March 31, 2006, the Company and Bank
employed seventy-two employees (sixty-three full-time equivalent employees).

The Bank commenced operations in February 1999 at 1805 Campbell Lane, Bowling
Green, Kentucky. The Bank opened a branch office at 901 Lehman Avenue, Bowling
Green, Kentucky in March 1999. In January 2003 the Bank acquired Commonwealth
Mortgage and Southern Kentucky Land Title, Inc. located at 1301U.S. Highway 31-W
Bypass in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The Bank opened branch offices at 2451
Fitzgerald-Industrial Drive, Bowling Green, Kentucky and at 1200 South Main
Street, Franklin, Kentucky in February 2003. During the first quarter of 2006,
the Bank moved its main office headquarters to, and opened a retail branch at
1065 Ashley Street in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Approximately 15,000 square feet
of the first floor of this building is leased. The bank offices are primarily
occupied by senior management, commercial lenders, deposit operations, loan
accounting, finance, and information systems personnel. The Bank's mortgage
company operations have relocated to the Campbell Lane location, which also
houses a branch office of the Bank.

The Bank was organized as a community oriented, full service alternative to the
super-regional financial institutions which dominate its primary service area.
The Bank's mission is to firmly establish itself in its primary service area as
a community owned and operated full-service bank providing traditional products
and services typically offered by commercial banks. The Bank believes that its
ability to compete is enhanced by its local management and its base of local
shareholders and directors. The Bank has emphasized and intends to continue
emphasizing its Bowling Green and southern Kentucky roots, and the Bank has a
philosophy of giving its customers prompt and responsive personal service.

The Company's corporate strategy focuses on providing the Bank's customers with
high quality, personal banking services. The Bank offers products designed to
meet the needs of its customers that include individuals, small businesses,
partnerships and corporations. The Bank provides a full range of corporate and
retail banking services that include checking, savings, and time deposit
accounts; secured and unsecured loans to corporations, individuals, and others;
letters of credit; rental of safe deposit boxes; and cash management services.
The Bank also offers, through affiliations with third parties, trust services,
investment management services, and business and personal insurance products.

The Bank offers a full range of deposit services. Checking account services
include regular non-interest bearing checking accounts as well as interest
bearing negotiable order of withdrawal ("NOW") accounts. Savings and certificate
of deposit accounts include accounts ranging from a daily maturity (regular
savings and also money market accounts) to longer-term certificates as
authorized by law. In addition, retirement accounts such as IRA's (Individual
Retirement Accounts) are available. All deposit accounts are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the full amount permitted by law.
Deposit accounts are solicited from individuals, businesses, professional
organizations and governmental authorities.

Lending services include a full range of commercial, personal, and mortgage
loans. The Bank's primary focus is on business lending. The types of commercial
loans that are available include both secured and unsecured loans for working
capital (including inventory and receivables), business expansion (including
acquisition of real estate and improvements) and purchase of machinery and
equipment. The Bank does not emphasize real estate lending for land acquisition,
land development or open-end construction loans. The types of personal loans
that are available
                                        12
<PAGE>13

include secured and unsecured loans for such purposes as financing automobiles,
home improvements, education and personal investments. The Bank originates,
processes and closes residential real estate loans that are then primarily sold
on the secondary market (each individually) to a correspondent.

The Bank offers credit cards (through correspondent banking services) including
MasterCard (TM) and Visa(TM) as well as a personal checking account related line
of credit. The line of credit is available for both protection against
unexpected overdrafts and also for the convenience of having a pre-arranged loan
that can be activated simply by a check drawn on a personal checking account.
Other services offered include, but are not limited to, safe deposit boxes,
letters of credit, travelers checks, direct deposit of payroll, social security
and dividend payments and automatic payment of insurance premiums and mortgage
loans. The Bank does not have a proprietary automated teller machine network but
participates in a national ATM network through the FiServ EFT network, and
through the Visa Debit Card Program.

The Kentucky counties of Warren and Simpson are designated as the Bank's primary
service area. This area economy is diversified, with financial and other service
industries representing the largest industry segment. In the recent past the
area's unemployment rate has been consistent with the national unemployment
rate. The Company's competition in the local market consists of community,
regional and national financial institutions. In the Bank's primary service
area, there are 16 commercial banks, of which four are considered to have their
headquarters in the Bank's service area. As of June 30, 2005, these institutions
have combined deposits of $1.57 billion, according to data compiled by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In addition, there are various credit
unions, mortgage companies, and other commercial banks that have loan production
offices in the area. The Bank encounters strong competition from these financial
institutions, for deposits, loans, and other financial services, as well as from
insurance companies, brokerage firms and other financial institutions, some of
which are not subject to the same degree of regulation and restrictions as the
Bank. Several of these competitors have greater resources and lending limits
than the Bank has to offer, and may provide certain services, such as
international banking services, which the Bank is not providing.


APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and follow general
practices within the financial services industry. The most significant
accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in Note 1 of the Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. These
policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement
notes and in this financial review, provide information on how significant
assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those
values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the
sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and
estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination
of the allowance for loan losses to be the accounting area that requires the
most subjective or complex judgments, and as such could be most subject to
revision as new information becomes available.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of probable
credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Determining the amount of the
allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because
it requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount
and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on
loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic
trends and conditions, all of which may be susceptible to significant change.

The loan portfolio also represents the largest asset type on the consolidated
balance sheet. Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included in the Company's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB describes the
methodology used to determine the allowance for loan losses, and a discussion of
the factors driving changes in the amount of the allowance for loan losses is
included under "Asset Quality" below.

Loans that exhibit probable or observed credit weaknesses are subject to
individual review. Where appropriate, reserves are allocated to individual loans
based on management's estimate of the borrower's ability to repay the loan given
the availability of collateral, other sources of cash flow and legal options
available to the Company. Included
                                        13
<PAGE>14
in the review of individual loans are those that are impaired as provided in
SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." The Company
evaluates the  collectibility  of both principal and interest when assessing the
need for a loss  accrual.  Historical  loss rates are applied to other loans not
subject to reserve allocations.  These historical loss rates may be adjusted for
significant  factors that, in management's  judgment,  reflect the impact of any
current  conditions on loss recognition.  Factors which management  considers in
the analysis include the effects of the national and local economies,  trends in
the  nature  and  volume of loans  (delinquencies,  charge-offs  and  nonaccrual
loans),  changes  in  mix,  asset  quality  trends,  risk  management  and  loan
administration,  changes in internal lending policies and credit standards,  and
examination  results from bank  regulatory  agencies and the Company's  internal
credit examiners.

An unallocated reserve is maintained to recognize the imprecision in estimating
and measuring losses when evaluating reserves for individual loans or pools of
loans. Reserves on individual loans and historical loss rates are reviewed
quarterly and adjusted as necessary based on changing borrower and/or collateral
conditions and actual collection and charge-off experience.

The Company has not substantively changed any aspect to its overall approach in
the determination of the allowance for loan losses. There have been no material
changes in assumptions or estimation techniques as compared to prior periods
that impacted the determination of the current period allowance.

Based on the procedures discussed above, management is of the opinion that the
reserve of $1,905,896 was adequate, but not excessive, to absorb estimated
credit losses associated with the loan portfolio at March 31, 2006.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company reported net income of
$549,289, or $0.47 and $0.38 per basic and diluted common share, respectively,
compared to net income of $451,216, or $.36 and $0.31 per basic and diluted
common share, respectively, for the same period ended March 31, 2005.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income was $2,086,279 in the first quarter of 2006, compared with
$1,746,711 in the comparable period in 2005. First quarter 2006 interest income
of $3,233,253, an increase of $820,482 or 34.0% over the same period total of
$2,412,771 in 2005, includes $2,987,649 income on loans, $121,388 income on
securities, and $124,216 income on federal funds sold and other interest-bearing
accounts. Interest income of $2,412,771 during the first quarter of 2005
included $2,279,683 of income on loans, $119,863 income on investment
securities, and $13,225 income on federal funds sold and other interest-bearing
accounts. Interest expense of $1,146,974 for the first quarter of 2006, up
$480,914 or 72.2% from the same period in 2005, consists of interest on deposits
of $1,018,267, and on other borrowings of $128,707. First quarter 2005 interest
expense of $666,060 consisted of interest on deposits of $581,683, and interest
on other borrowings of $84,377. An increase in yields on interest earning
assets, coupled with an increase in the amount of interest earning assets,
contributed to the increase in net interest income in the first quarter of 2006,
compared to the same quarter of 2005. The increase in yields on interest earning
assets during the first quarter of 2006, compared to the same period of 2005, is
primarily attributable to the increase by 275 basis points of short-term
interest rates since the beginning of 2005. The Bank is asset sensitive, meaning
assets reprice faster to changes in short-term rates than do liabilities. In a
rising short-term rate environment, such as occurred during the first quarter of
2006, more of the Bank's interest earning assets, primarily loans, reprice up
faster than do the liabilities, specifically certificates of deposit. The
increase in interest expense in the first quarter of 2006, compared to the same
period of 2005, was due to both the increased average cost of deposits during
2006, as short term rates have increased by 275 basis points since the beginning
of 2005, the increased average amount of interest bearing deposits compared to
the first quarter of 2005 and the increase in long-term debt.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company did not record a provision for loan loss expense for the quarter
ended March 31, 2006. The provision for loan losses expense for the quarter
ended March 31, 2005 was $35,000. As shown in the table in Footnote 3, the
Company had net charge-offs of loans totaling $51,324 for the first quarter of
2006, compared to net charge-offs of loans totaling $11,149 for the first
quarter of 2005. See a discussion of asset quality included in the Asset Quality
section of the BALANCE SHEET REVIEW.
                                        14
<PAGE>15

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively, was $319,980 and $331,896, a decrease of $11,916 or 3.6%. Income
from service charges on deposit accounts decreased $15,345, or 8.0%, to $176,801
during the first quarter of 2006 from $192,146 for the first quarter of 2005.
Despite an overall increase in deposit accounts for the periods, fee income from
insufficient fund charges decreased, offsetting other account fees. Other
service charges and fees decreased $14,094 from $34,434 during the first quarter
of 2005 to $20,340 for the first quarter of 2006. Income from the sale of
mortgage loans decreased $28,312, to $54,470 during the first quarter of 2006
from $82,782 in the same period of 2005. The decrease in the sale of mortgage
loans in 2006 is primarily due to less activity in the refinancing market as
interest rates have risen. Lease income increased $47,779 in the first quarter
of 2006 reflecting the lease to third parties of unused office space in the
Company's recently acquired headquarter building.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense was $1,573,111 in the first quarter of 2006, up from
$1,359,891 in the same quarter of 2005, an increase of $213,220 or 15.7%.
Salaries and employee benefits increased $215,389 for the quarter ended March
31, 2006 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The Company recorded a
stock option expense for the first time in the first quarter in the amount of
$46,514. In addition, an increase in the number of employees in the first
quarter of 2006 as compared to 2005 caused salary costs and related benefit
costs to increase for 2006 approximately $140,000 as compared to 2005. The 401K
plan established as of January 1, 2006 increased benefit costs by $14,646. Net
occupancy expense increased $50,384 from $87,812 for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 to $138,196 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This
increase is primarily related to costs associated with the new headquarters
building. Professional fees decreased $35,758 from $94,855 for the period ending
March 31, 2005 to $59,097 for the period ending March 31, 2006 as a lawsuit
associated with the recovery of a large commercial loan was completed. Other
expense decreased $43,173 from $143,307 for the three months ended March 31,
2005 to $100,134 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense has been calculated based on the Company's expected annual
rate for 2006. During the first quarter of 2006, income tax expense totaled
$283,859 compared to $232,500 for the same period of 2005. Deferred tax
liabilities and assets are recognized for the tax effects of differences between
the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities.


BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

OVERVIEW

Total assets at March 31, 2006 were $203,807,914, up from $195,501,544 at
December 31, 2005 and up from $172,098,548 a year ago. Average total assets for
the first quarter of 2006 were $196,149,375, up $25,349,003 from the first

ASSET QUALITY

Non-performing loans are defined as non-accrual loans, loans accruing but past
due 90 days or more, and restructured loans. Management classifies commercial
and commercial real estate loans as non-accrual when principal or interest is
past due 90 days or more and the loan is not adequately collateralized and is in
the process of collection, or when, in the opinion of management, principal or
interest is not likely to be paid in accordance with the terms of the
obligation. Consumer loans are charged off after 120 days of delinquency unless
adequately secured and in the process of collection. Non-accrual loans are not
reclassified as accruing until principal and interest payments are brought
current and future payments appear reasonably certain. Loans are categorized as
restructured if the original interest rate, repayment terms, or both were
restructured due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower.
However, restructured loans that demonstrate performance under the restructured
terms and that yield a market rate of interest may be removed from restructured
status in the year following the restructure.

The Bank had non-performing loans totaling $284,274 at March 31, 2006, compared
to $256,993 at December 31, 2005 and $612,365 at March 31, 2005. The
non-performing loan total at March 31, 2006 includes one loan in the amount of
$177,944 that was added to non-performing loans in the third quarter of 2005.
The loan is to an electrical contractor who has filed Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. The
loan is 75% guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. Also included are
four loans on non-accrual that total $58,438 and three loans totaling $47,891
that were greater than 90 days past due, and that are still accruing.

Non-performing assets are defined as non-performing loans, foreclosed real
estate, and other foreclosed property. The Bank had non-performing assets of
$427,221 at the end of the first quarter of 2006, comprised of the above
mentioned non-performing loans and $142,947 of other real estate owned and
repossessed assets. The Bank had non-performing assets of $256,993 at December
31, 2005, comprised entirely of non-performing loans.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses
charged to expense. The allowance for loan losses was $1,905,896 at March 31,
2006, a decrease of $51,324, or 2.6% over the December 31, 2005 level of
$1,957,220. The allowance represents 1.18% of period-end loans, compared to
1.24% of period-end loans at December 31, 2005. The allowance as a percentage of
period-end loans decreased at March 31, 2006, compared to December 31, 2005,
because no provision for loan losses was recorded for the period. During the
first quarter of 2006, the dollar amout of loans internally classified as
substandard or doubtful was reduced, resulting in a lower allocated portion of
the allowance for loan losses. The level of the allowance is based on
management's monthly review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and general
economic conditions; followed by a quarterly review with the Board of Directors.
Management's review and evaluation of the allowance for loan losses is based on
an analysis of historical trends, significant problem loans, current market
value of real estate or collateral and certain economic and other factors
affecting loans and real estate or collateral securing these loans. Where
appropriate, reserves are allocated to individual loans based on management's
estimate of the borrower's ability to repay the loan given the availability of
collateral, other sources of cash flow and legal options available to the
Company. Historical loss rates are applied to other loans not subject to reserve
allocations. An unallocated reserve is maintained to recognize the imprecision
in estimating and measuring losses when evaluating reserves for individual loans
or pools of loans. These historical loss rates may be adjusted for significant
factors that, in managements judgment, reflect the impact of any current
conditions on loss recognition, including the effects of the national and local
economies, trends in the nature and volume of loans (delinquencies, charge-offs
and nonaccrual loans), changes in mix, asset quality trends, risk management and
loan administration, changes in internal lending policies and credit standards,
and examination results from bank regulatory agencies and the Company's internal
credit examiners. Loans are charged off when, in the opinion of management, they
are deemed to be uncollectible. Recognized losses are charged against the
allowance and subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance. While management
uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments to
the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from
the assumptions used in making the evaluation. The allowance for loan losses is
reviewed internally by personnel independent of the loan department. In
addition, the allowance is subject to periodic evaluation by various regulatory
authorities and may be subject to adjustment based upon information that is
available to them at the time of their examination.

Bowling Green economy in particular;
 - changes in interest rates, yield curves and interest rate spread
relationships;
