      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997

1.   Basis of Presentation
      ---------------------

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB
and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes
necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 
Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto of Kentucky First Bancorp, Inc. (the
"Corporation") included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended June 30, 1998.  However, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial statements have been included. 
The results of operations for the three month period ended
September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results which may be expected for an entire fiscal year.
  
2. Principles of Consolidation
   ---------------------------
  
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Corporation and First Federal Savings Bank
(the "Savings Bank").  All significant intercompany items have
been eliminated.
  
3. Earnings Per Share
   ------------------
  
Earnings per share is computed in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".  Pursuant to SFAS No.
128, basic earnings per share is computed based upon the
weighted-average shares outstanding during the period, less
shares in the ESOP that are unallocated and not committed to
be released.  Weighted-average common shares deemed
outstanding, which gives effect to 80,153 unallocated ESOP
shares, totaled 1,149,796, for the three month period ended
September 30, 1998.  Weighted-average common shares deemed
outstanding, which gives effect to 92,574 unallocated ESOP
shares, totaled 1,219,593 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1997.  
  
Diluted earnings per share is computed taking into
consideration common shares outstanding and dilutive potential
common shares to be issued under the Corporation's stock
option plan.  Weighted-average common shares deemed
outstanding for purposes of computing diluted earnings per
share totaled 1,201,663 and 1,258,278 for the three month
periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. 
  
4. Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
   -------------------------------------------
  
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( the
"FASB") issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." 
SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display
of comprehensive income and its components (revenues,
expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements.  SFAS No. 130 requires that all items
that

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                          
For the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
                           
  
4. Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
   -------------------------------------------
  
are required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial
statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements.  It does not require a specific format
for that financial statement but requires that an enterprise
display an amount representing total comprehensive income for
the period in that financial statement.

SFAS No. 130 requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of
other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial
statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of other
comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and
additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a
statement of financial condition.  SFAS No. 130 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. 
Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods
provided for comparative purposes is required.  The
Corporation adopted SFAS No. 130 effective July 1, 1998, as
required, without material impact on the Corporation's
financial statements.
 
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."  SFAS No.
131 significantly changes the way that public business
enterprises report information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires that those
enterprises report selected information about reportable
segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. 
It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas and major customers. 
SFAS No. 131 uses a "management approach" to disclose financial
and descriptive information about the way that management
organizes the segments within the enterprise for making
operating decisions and assessing performance.  For many
enterprises, the management approach will likely result in
more segments being reported.  In addition, SFAS No. 131
requires significantly more information to be disclosed for
each reportable segment than is presently being reported in
annual financial statements and also requires that selected
information be reported in interim financial statements.  SFAS
No. 131 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1997.  The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 131 effective July
1, 1998, as required, without material impact on the
Corporation's financial statements.
 
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires
entities to recognize all derivatives in their financial
statements as either assets or liabilities measured at fair
value.  SFAS No. 133 also specifies new methods of accounting
for hedging transactions, prescribes the items and
transactions that may be hedged, and specifies detailed
criteria to be met to qualify for hedge accounting.

For the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
  
  
4. Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
   -------------------------------------------
  
The definition of a derivative financial instrument is
complex, but in general, it is an instrument with one or more
underlyings, such as an interest rate or foreign exchange
rate, that is applied to a notional amount, such as an amount
of currency, to determine the settlement amount(s).  It
generally requires no significant initial investment and can
be settled net or by delivery of an asset that is readily
convertible to cash.  SFAS No. 133 applies to derivatives
embedded in other contracts, unless the underlying of the
embedded derivative is clearly and closely related to the host
contract.
 
SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999.  On adoption, entities are permitted to
transfer held-to-maturity debt securities to the available-
for-sale or trading category without calling into question
their intent to hold other debt securities to maturity in the
future.  SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a material
impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

ITEM II      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                   OR PLAN OF OPERATION
                          

Forward-Looking Statements
--------------------------

In addition to historical information contained herein, the
following discussion contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties.  Economic circumstances, the
Corporation's operations and the Corporation's 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 interest rates in the
nation and the Corporation's market area generally.

Some of the forward-looking statements included herein are the
statements regarding management's determination of the amount
and adequacy of the allowance for losses on loans, the effect of
certain recent accounting pronouncements and the Corporation's
projected effects related to the year 2000 compliance issue.


Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 1998 to
---------------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1998
------------------

At September 30, 1998, the Corporation's consolidated total
assets amounted to $78.6 million, a decrease of $3.5 million, or
4.2 %, from the total at June 30, 1998.  The decrease in assets
resulted primarily from a decrease of $2.4 million in advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank, a decrease in deposits of
$602,000 and a decline in shareholders' equity of $522,000.

Liquid assets (i.e. cash, interest-bearing deposits and
investment securities) decreased by $1.9 million over the three
month period, to a total of $9.9 million at September 30, 1998. 
Investment securities totaling $1.1 million matured during the
period.  Mortgage-backed securities totaled $16.9 million at
September 30, 1998, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 5.8% from
June 30, 1998 levels.  The decrease resulted primarily from
principal repayments of $1.0 million during the period.  Excess
liquid assets and proceeds from maturities of investment and
mortgage-backed securities were partially used to fund net
deposit withdrawals, repayments of Federal Home Loan Bank
advances and purchases of treasury shares. 

Loans receivable decreased by $451,000, or .9%, during the three
month period, to a total of $48.4 million at September 30, 1998. 
Loan disbursements amounted to $2.4 million and were partially
offset by principal repayments of $2.9 million.  The allowance
for loan losses totaled $391,000 at September 30, 1998, as
compared to $384,000 at June 30, 1998.  Nonperforming loans
totaled $191,000 at September 30, 1998, as compared to $141,000
at June 30, 1998. The allowance for loan losses represented
204.7% of nonperforming loans as of September 30, 1998 and
272.3% at June 30, 1998. Although management believes that its
allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1998 is adequate
based upon the available facts and circumstances, there can be
no assurance that additions to such allowance will not be
necessary in future periods, which could adversely affect the
Corporation's results of operations.

Deposits totaled $56.0 million at September 30, 1998, a decrease
of $602,000, or 1.1%, from June 30, 1998 levels.  During the
current period, management has not attempted to match premium
deposit rates offered by certain competitors and has instead
continued its conservative pricing strategy with respect to
deposit accounts during the current interest rate environment.

          OR PLAN OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)


Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 1998 to
---------------------------------------------------------------
September 30, 1998 (continued)
------------------

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaled $8.0 million at
September 30, 1998, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 23.1%, from
the total at June 30, 1998, as proceeds from maturities of
investment and mortgage-backed securities were utilized to repay
such advances.

The Corporation's shareholders' equity amounted to $13.9 million
at September 30, 1998, a decrease of $522,000, or 3.6%, from
June 30, 1998 levels.  The decrease resulted primarily from
purchases of treasury stock totaling $612,000 and dividends paid
on common stock totaling $148,000, which were partially offset
by 1998 period net earnings of $225,000.

The Savings Bank is required to meet each of three minimum
capital standards promulgated by the Office of Thrift
Supervision ("OTS"), hereinafter described as the tangible
capital requirement, the core capital requirement and the risk-
based capital requirement.  The tangible capital requirement
mandates maintenance of shareholders' equity less all intangible
assets equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets.  The core capital
requirement provides for the maintenance of tangible capital
plus certain forms of supervisory goodwill equal to 3% of
adjusted total assets, while the risk-based capital requirement
mandates maintenance of core capital plus general loan loss
allowances equal to 8% of risk-weighted assets as defined by OTS
regulations.  

At September 30, 1998, the Savings Bank's tangible and core
capital totaled $12.6 million, or 16.1%, of adjusted total
assets, which exceeded the minimum tangible and core capital
requirements of $1.2 million and $2.3 million by $11.4 million
and $10.3 million, respectively.  The Savings Bank's risk-based
capital of $12.9 million, or 28.3% of risk-weighted assets,
exceeded the current 8% requirement by $9.3 million.


Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods
-----------------------------------------------------------
Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
---------------------------------

General
-------

Net earnings amounted to $225,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998, a decrease of $42,000, or 15.7%, from the
$267,000 of net earnings reported for the same period in 1997. 
The decrease in net earnings in the current period was due to a
$41,000 decrease in net interest income, a $12,000 decrease in
other income and a $25,000 increase in general administrative
and other expense, which were partially offset by a $36,000
decrease in the provision for federal income taxes.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods
-----------------------------------------------------------
Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 (continued)
---------------------------------

Net Interest Income
-------------------

Net interest income decreased by $41,000, or 5.5%, for the three
months ended September 30, 1998, compared to the 1997 period. 
Interest income on loans decreased by $28,000, or 2.7%, due
primarily to a $1.6 million, or 3.3%, decrease in the weighted-
average balance of loans outstanding year to year, which was
partially offset by an increase in yield.  Interest income on
mortgage-backed securities decreased by $49,000, or 14.5%, due
primarily to a $3.3 million, or 15.9%, decrease in the weighted-
average balance outstanding.  Interest income on investment
securities and interest-bearing deposits decreased by $76,000,
or 30.8%, due primarily to a decline in the average yields
available on short-term deposits.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $23,000, or 3.8%, due
primarily to a $1.4 million, or 2.6%, increase in the weighted-
average balance of deposits outstanding, coupled with an
increase in the cost of deposits year to year.  Interest expense
on borrowings decreased by $135,000 during the current period,
due primarily to a $9.2 million decrease in the weighted-average
balance of advances outstanding from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and
interest expense, net interest income decreased by $41,000, or
5.5%, to a total of $698,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998, as compared to the comparable period in
1997.  The interest rate spread amounted to approximately 2.86%
and 2.60% during the respective 1998 and 1997 three month
periods, while the net interest margin amounted to approximately
3.57% in 1998 and 3.35% in 1997.

Provision for Losses on Loans
-----------------------------

A provision for losses on loans is charged to earnings to bring
the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered
appropriate by management based on historical experience, the
volume and type of lending conducted by the Savings Bank, the
status of past due principal and interest payments, general
economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to
the Savings Bank's market area, and other factors related to the
collectibility of the Savings Bank's loan portfolio.  As a
result of such analysis, management recorded an $8,000 provision
for losses on loans during each of the three month periods ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997.  There can be no assurance that the
loan loss allowance of the Savings Bank will be adequate to
cover losses on nonperforming assets in the future.

Other Income
------------

Other income decreased by $12,000, or 21.8%, for the three
months ended September 30, 1998, compared to the same period in
1997, due primarily to an $11,000 gain on investment securities
transactions recorded in the 1997 period.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods
-----------------------------------------------------------
Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 (continued)
---------------------------------

General, Administrative and Other Expense
-----------------------------------------

General, administrative and other expense increased by $25,000,
or 6.3%, during the three month period ended September 30, 1998,
compared to the same period in 1997.  

The increase in general, administrative and other expense
resulted from a $15,000, or 6.6%, increase in employee
compensation and benefits, a $6,000, or 16.7%, increase in
occupancy and equipment and a $5,000, or 5.7%, increase in other
operating expense.

Federal Income Taxes
--------------------

The provision for federal income taxes decreased by $36,000, or
29.0%, for the three month period ended September 30, 1998, as
compared to the same period in 1997.  This decrease resulted
primarily from the decrease in net earnings before taxes of
$78,000, or 19.9%.  The effective tax rates were 28.1% and 31.7%
for the three month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

Year 2000 Compliance Matters
----------------------------

As with all providers of financial services, the Savings Bank's
operations are heavily dependent on information technology
systems.  The Savings Bank is addressing the potential problems
associated with the possibility that the computers that control
or operate the Bank's information technology system and
infrastructure may not be programmed to read four-digit date
codes and, upon arrival of the year 2000, may recognize the two-
digit code "00" as the year 1900, causing systems to fail to
function or to generate erroneous data. 

As part of the awareness and assessment phases of its action
plan related to the Year 2000 problem, the Savings Bank
identified the operating systems that is considers critical to
the on-going operations of the Savings Bank.  The Savings Bank
is working with companies that supply or service its information
technology systems to remedy any year 2000 problems.

Of the systems that the Savings Bank identified as
mission-critical, the most significant is the on-line core
account processing system that is performed by a third party
service provider, Intrieve, Inc.  The service provider is
converting its hardware to a new Year 2000 compliant system. 
The Savings Bank's conversion to this new system was completed
on October 17, 1998.  The service provider successfully
performed Year 2000 proxy testing with several of its larger
users during early October 1998.  On November 15, 1998, the
Savings Bank is scheduled to perform final customer testing,
which is designed to test the Savings Bank's unique equipment
configuration and communications link to the service provider.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Year 2000 Compliance Matters (continued)
----------------------------

The Savings Bank is in the process of evaluating its non-
technological systems to determine whether such systems have
embedded technology that could be  affected by the Year 2000
problem.  As of the date hereof, the Savings Bank does not
anticipate that any problems with any such systems will have a
material adverse effect on the Savings Bank.

In September 1998, the Savings Bank developed a contingency plan
in case the mission-critical systems are not successfully
renovated in a timely manner or if they actually fail at Year
2000 critical dates.  The contingency plan states that the bank
deems the likelihood of failure of the service provider's
efforts to renovate Year 2000 changes to the on-line core
account processing system to be remote; however, a more likely
scenario is that the service provider's system will be down for
several days or weeks upon arrival of Year 2000.  The plan,
therefore, primarily addresses action to deal with the latter
possibility rather than with a catastrophic event.  The Savings
Bank does not consider contingency planning to be a static
process; therefore, the plan will be amended to address a
catastrophic event if testing results indicate greater concern.

Management of the Savings Bank has developed an estimate of
expenses that are reasonably likely to be incurred by the
Savings Bank in connection with this issue; however, the Savings
Bank does not expect to incur significant expense to implement
the necessary corrective measurers.  No assurance can be given,
however, that significant expense will not be incurred in future
periods.  In the event that the Savings Bank is ultimately
required to purchase replacement computer systems, programs and
equipment, or incur substantial expense to make the Savings
Bank's current systems, programs and equipment Year 2000
compliant, the Savings Bank's net earnings and financial
condition could be adversely affected.

In addition to possible expense related to its own systems, the
Savings Bank could incur losses if loan payments are delayed due
to Year 2000 problems affecting any major borrowers in the
Savings Bank's primary market area.  Because the Savings Bank's
loan portfolio is highly diversified with regard to individual
borrowers and types of businesses and the Savings Bank's primary
market area is not significantly dependent upon one employer or
industry, the Savings Bank does not expect any significant or
prolonged difficulties that will affect net earnings or cash
flow.
