General

The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporation (the Company or BKFC) is a bank holding company that was incorporated as a
Kentucky corporation in 1993 and engaged in no business activities until 1995, when BKFC acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of The Bank of Kentucky, Inc. (the Bank), a bank incorporated under the laws of
the Commonwealth of Kentucky (formerly named The Bank of Boone County, Inc.), and Burnett Federal Savings Bank, a federal savings bank that was later merged into the Bank. BKFC, through the Bank, is engaged in the banking business in
Kentucky.

Formed in 1990, the Bank provides financial service and other financial solutions through 31 offices located in
northern Kentucky, which includes Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties and parts of Grant and Gallatin counties in northern Kentucky and also greater Cincinnati, Ohio. The principal products produced and services rendered by the Bank are as follows:



| |  |  | Commercial Banking  The Bank provides a full range of commercial banking services to corporations and other business clients. Loans are
provided for a variety of general corporate purposes, including financing for commercial and industrial projects, income producing commercial real estate, owner-occupied real estate and construction and land development. The Bank also provides a
wide range of deposit services, including checking, lockbox services and other treasury management services.

As described in
more detail in this Annual Report, the current economic recession has had a substantial effect on the operations of BKFC and the Bank. Since 2008, there have been numerous programs implemented by the federal government and others in an effort to
respond to financial conditions affecting the financial services industry, and the broader economy as a whole. To date BKFC and the Bank have participated in two such government programs. First, in October 2008 the Bank participated in the
transaction account guarantee component of the FDICs Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (the TLGP), whereby the FDIC will temporarily guarantee all depositor funds in qualifying noninterest-bearing transaction accounts Second,
in February 2009 BKFC participated in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)Capital Purchase Program (CPP) sponsored by the United States Department of the Treasury (the Treasury Department), in order to enhance
BKFCs liquidity and capital position. BKFC received $34.0 million under the CPP program in exchange for issuing 34,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the Series A Preferred Stock), and a
warrant to purchase approximately 274,784 shares of BKFC common stock (the Warrant). Neither BKFC nor the Bank have participated in any of the other wide-ranging programs that have been instituted by the federal government in response to
the current economic recession.

For a discussion of the impact of the current economic recession on the financial condition
and results of operations of BKFC and its subsidiaries, as well as a discussion of how curtailment or ending any such programs would effect BKFC and/or the Bank, see below under The Current Economic Recession, as well as Item 7
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Annual Report.

As a
bank incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Department of Financial Institutions of the Commonwealth of Kentucky (the Department) and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC). The Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (the FHLB). Because BKFCs activities have been limited primarily to holding the shares of common stock of
the Bank, the following discussion of operations focuses primarily on the business of the Bank.

Acquisition Activities

On June 14, 2000, BKFC consummated the acquisition of the Fort Thomas Financial Corporation (FTFC) and its wholly owned
subsidiary, the Fort Thomas Savings Bank (FTSB). FTFC was merged with and into BKFC and FTSB was merged with and into the Bank. Upon consummation of this acquisition, 865,592 shares of BKFC were issued for substantially all of the
outstanding shares of FTFC. The combination was accounted for as a pooling of interests and the historical financial position and results of operations of the two companies have been combined for financial reporting purposes.

On November 22, 2002, BKFC consummated the acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Peoples Bank of
Northern Kentucky. This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and accordingly the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities of the purchase were recorded at estimated fair values. The excess of the
purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. The adjustments necessary to record tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities at fair value are amortized to income and expensed over
the estimated remaining lives of the related assets and liabilities.

On May 18, 2007, BKFC consummated the acquisition of FNB Bancorporation, Inc. and its
subsidiary, First Bank of Northern Kentucky, Inc. (First Bank). This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and accordingly the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities of the purchase
were recorded at estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. The adjustments necessary to record tangible and identifiable intangible assets and
liabilities at fair value are amortized to income and expensed over the estimated remaining lives of the related assets and liabilities.

On December 11, 2009, the Bank completed the purchase of three banking offices of Integra Bank Corporations wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Integra Bank N.A. (Integra Bank), located
in Crittenden, Dry Ridge and Warsaw, Kentucky and a portfolio of selected commercial loans originated by Integra Banks Covington, Kentucky loan production office. This transaction also included the deposits of two additional branches in
northern Kentucky where the banking offices were excluded. This transaction added $76 million in deposits and $51 million in loans. The deposits were purchased at a premium of 6.5%, while the loans were purchased at an approximate 1% discount. The
acquisition included a core deposit intangible asset of $1.58 million and goodwill of $5.31 million. In a separate transaction, the Bank also bought an additional $49 million in loans from Integra Bank in the third quarter and $7 million in the
fourth quarter of 2009 at an approximate 1% discount. None of these purchased loans had shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination.

On December 31, 2009, the Bank completed the purchase of Tapke Asset Management, LLC, an independent investment advisory firm headquartered in Fort Wright, Kentucky. As a result of this transaction
the Banks client assets increased to over $650 million. The asset management company was purchased for $3 million, which consisted of $2 million in cash and $1 million in BKFC common stock, with an additional $500,000 in contingent
consideration payable in three years based on revenue retention which has a fair value of $395,000. The acquisition included a customer relationship intangible of $1.53 million, a non-competition agreement intangible of $320,000, a trade name
intangible of $165,000, and goodwill of $1.37 million.

The Current Economic Recession

Like many other financial institutions, BKFCs results for the year ended December 31, 2009 were affected by the national economic
recession. Although total loan growth in 2009 increased by 13% as compared to 2008, resulting in an increase in net interest income, these revenue increases were substantially offset by the significant increase in the provision for loan losses,
which was $12,825,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $4,850,000 for 2008. The increase reflected an increase in loans-charged off in 2009, and managements continuing concerns over the deteriorating economic conditions
in the markets in which the Bank operates. The current trend remains for continued higher than normal levels of loan loss reserves, primarily a result of the current economic conditions in the northern Kentucky and greater Cincinnati, Ohio markets
in which the Bank operates.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, net charge-offs were $7,582,000 or .71% of average
loan balances as compared to 2008 figures of $3,445,000 or .35% of average loan balances. Although the Bank experienced an increase in defaults and foreclosures in fiscal year 2009, such levels have been significantly less than other regions of the
United States. This is due, in part, to the fact that the Banks markets in northern Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio have not experienced as dramatic a reduction in real estate values from previous years as compared to markets like Florida and
California.

As a result of management concerns over the current economic environment, individual lending authorities have
been reduced, and a new loan committee structure was put into place, adding the Banks Chief Executive Officer to the Banks loan committee to further scrutinize credit decisions. Additionally, the Bank established a problem asset workout
group in 2009. This group is comprised of three experienced bankers whose primary task is to reduce risk by accelerating the exit from troubled credits. The problem asset workout group does this employing a number of strategies. In addition, this
group provides advice and support for the Banks lending professionals with respect to those relationships that are showing signs of stress, but have not elevated to the point of transfer to workout. In addition to these monitoring and
management processes, BKFC also conducts quarterly reviews and evaluations of all criticized loans. These comprehensive reviews, which pre-date the current economic recession, include the formulation of action plans and updates on recent
developments on all criticized loans. Proactive management of problem loans is a high priority of the Banks senior management.

BKFC has not experienced the stress or deterioration in its residential real estate
portfolio that other financial institutions may be experiencing, as residential real estate loans represent a small portion of the Banks overall loan portfolio. The Bank has not created or marketed any sub-prime loan products to its customers
and does not service mortgages on behalf of other institutions. The Bank follows a strategy of selling a majority of its originated residential loans in the secondary market. In the majority of situations, the Bank follows the underwriting
guidelines of the various government agencies on residential real estate loans the Bank seeks to portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Banks residential real estate loan production was $144.5 million. Of this, sold loans
totaled $122.1 million, while portfolio and construction loans totaled $8.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively. The average balance of amortizing portfolio loans during 2009 was $109 million as compared to $102.4 million in 2008. Residential
real estate charge-offs in this portfolio in 2009 and 2008 were .58% and .39% respectively. Delinquencies have been moderate, and non-accruals were at $2.78 million as of December 31, 2009 versus $83.4 million outstanding (amortizing portfolio
loan balances) or 3.36%. The Bank had 17 residential loans on non-accrual as of December 31, 2009, with two of those loans totaling $1.4 million, or 50% of aggregate non-accrual loan balances. The foregoing measures are a reflection of the
Banks underwriting and collection practices. The Bank has also added full time equivalent resources to its collections department, allowing the Bank to make more frequent and earlier collection calls, resulting in better working relationships
with those borrowers who may have difficulty in making timely payments.

The current economic recession has also affected the
operations of BKFC and the Bank. During the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009, BKFC and the Bank each participated in two government programs, which had the effect of enabling it to enhance liquidity and to augment its strong capital
position and otherwise facilitate its response to the economic crisis. First, in October 2008 the Bank participated in the transaction account guarantee component of the FDICs TLGP program. Second, in February 2009 BKFC participated in the CPP
Program, receiving $34,000,000 in exchange for issuing 34,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and a Warrant to purchase approximately 274,784 shares of BKFC Common Stock. Neither BKFC nor the Bank actively participate in any of the other federal
government programs that have been instituted in response to the current economic recession.

Management believes that BKFC
would not be adversely affected should the FDIC curtail or end the transaction account guarantee component of the TLGP program, which is scheduled to expire under current regulations on June 30, 2010. Management further believes that BKFC would
not be adversely affected should the Treasury Department choose to curtail or end the CPP program, given that the Series A Preferred Stock and related Warrants are perpetual instruments which will remain outstanding until BKFC elects to repurchase
them as permitted by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). Until such time as the Series A Preferred Stock and the related Warrant are repurchased, BKFC will remain subject to the terms and conditions of those
instruments, which, among other things, requires BKFC to obtain regulatory approval to pay dividends on common stock in excess of $0.28 per common share (on a semi-annual basis) and, with some exceptions, to repurchase shares of common stock.
Further, participation in the CPP subjects BKFC and the Bank to increased regulatory and legislative oversight, including with respect to executive compensation. Any new oversight, legal requirements and implementing standards under the CPP may have
unforeseen or unintended adverse effects on BKFCs results of operations and business condition. If BKFC was required by the Treasury Department to repurchase the Series A Preferred Stock and related Warrant as a result of future changes to the
terms of the CPP program in connection with the curtailment or ending of such program, management believes it would need to raise additional capital to replace the Series A Preferred Stock in order to maintain its current regulatory capital ratios.

BKFC has been responsive to its obligations to the Federal government to expand the flow of credit to U.S. consumers and
businesses on competitive terms during this economic recession. In particular, by purchasing U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) following the Treasury Departments investment of $34.0 million in BKFCs
Series A Preferred Stock, BKFC has provided incremental liquidity to that market. The Bank has increased it holdings of U.S. government MBS from $13.8 million at December 31, 2007 to $43.9 million and $83.1 million at December 31, 2008 and
2009, respectively. Due to the Banks long-standing prudent lending standards, the number of non-performing loans have increased at a lower rate than the overall growth rate in the total loan portfolio. Accordingly, the Bank has not had a
significant need to modify mortgages which are held in its portfolio.

Nonresidential Real Estate Loans. The Bank makes loans secured by first mortgages on
nonresidential real estate, including retail stores, office buildings, warehouses, apartment buildings and recreational facilities. Such mortgage loans generally have terms to maturity of between 10 and 20 years and are made with adjustable interest
rates (ARMs). Interest rates on the ARMs adjust every one, three or five years based upon the interest rates of the applicable one-, three- or five-year U.S. Treasury security then offered.

The Bank limits the amount of each loan in relationship to the appraised value of the real estate and improvements at the time of
origination of a nonresidential real estate loan. In accordance with regulations, the maximum loan-to-value ratio (the LTV) on nonresidential real estate loans made by the Bank are subject to supervisory limits.

Nonresidential real estate lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk than residential lending. Such risk is due
primarily to the dependence of the borrower on the cash flow from the property to service the loan. If the cash flow from the property is reduced due to a downturn in the economy, for example, or due to any other reason the borrowers ability
to repay the loan may be impaired. To reduce such risk, the decision to underwrite a nonresidential real estate loan is based primarily on the quality and characteristics of the income stream generated by the property and/or the business of the
borrower. In addition, the Bank generally obtains the personal guarantees of one or more of the principals of the borrower and carefully evaluates the location of the real estate, the quality of the management operating the property, the debt
service ratio and appraisals supporting the propertys valuation.

At December 31, 2009, the Bank had a total of
$476 million invested in nonresidential real estate loans, the vast majority of which were secured by property located in the northern Kentucky metropolitan area. Owner-occupied nonresidential real estate was $197 million of the total nonresidential
real estate loans. Total nonresidential real estate loans comprised approximately 41% of the Banks total loans at such date, $8.81 million of which were non-performing.

Residential Real Estate Loans. The Bank originates permanent conventional loans secured by first mortgages on single-family and
multi-family residential properties located in the northern Kentucky area. The Bank also originates loans for the construction of residential properties and home equity loans secured by second mortgages on residential real estate. Each of such loans
is secured by a mortgage on the underlying real estate and improvements thereon, if any.

The residential real estate loans
originated for the Banks portfolio are either one- or three-year ARMs. Such loans typically have adjustment period caps of 2% and lifetime caps of 6%. The maximum amortization period of such loans is 30 years. The Bank does not engage in the
practice of deeply discounting the initial rates on such loans, nor does the Bank engage in the practice of putting payment caps on loans that could lead to negative amortization. Historically, the Bank has not made fixed-rate residential mortgage
loans for its portfolio. In order to meet consumer demand for fixed-rate loans, however, the Bank has originated loans for other lenders willing to accept the interest rate and credit risk.

While in a rising rate environment the delinquencies and foreclosure rates associated with
rate resets on residential real estate loans would increase, this risk is somewhat mitigated by the 2% period cap and the 6% lifetime cap on the typical loan in the Banks residential real estate portfolio. Furthermore, the aggregate amount of
residential real estate loans held by the Bank do not represent a significant portion of the Banks overall loan portfolio. Accordingly, the risks associated with a material increase in delinquencies and foreclosures resulting upon the
occurrence of any rate reset is minimal.

The Company does not have higher risk loans such as subprime loans, alt
A loans, no or few documentation loans, interest-only or option adjustable rate mortgage products in its portfolio. The majority of the Banks residential portfolio would be considered conforming loans in accordance with governmental
agencies standards.

The Bank requires private mortgage insurance for the amount of any such loan with an LTV in excess of
90%.

The aggregate amount of the Banks residential real estate loans equaled approximately $268 million at
December 31, 2009, and represented 23% of total loans at such date. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had $5.87 million of non-performing loans of this type.

Loans Held for Sale. The Bank originates residential real estate loans to be sold, service released, subject to commitment to purchase in the secondary market. These loans are fixed rate with terms
ranging from fifteen to 30 years. At December 31, 2009, these loans totaled $6.8 million.

Commercial Loans. The
Bank offers commercial loans to individuals and businesses located throughout northern Kentucky and the metropolitan area. The typical commercial borrower is a small to mid-sized company with annual sales under $20 million. The majority of
commercial loans are made with adjustable rates of interest tied to the Banks prime interest rate. Commercial loans typically have terms of one to five years. Commercial lending entails significant risks. Such loans are subject to greater risk
of default during periods of adverse economic conditions. Because such loans are secured by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable and other non-real estate assets, the collateral may not be sufficient to ensure full payment of the loan in the
event of a default. To reduce such risk, the Bank generally obtains personal guarantees from one or more of the principals backing the borrower. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had $223 million, or 19% of total loans, invested in commercial
loans, $2.75 million of which were non-performing.

Consumer Loans. The Bank makes a variety of consumer loans,
including automobile loans, recreational vehicle loans and personal loans. Such loans generally have fixed rates with terms from three to five years. Consumer loans involve a higher risk of default than residential real estate loans, particularly in
the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciating assets, such as automobiles. Repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a
result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation, and the remaining deficiency may not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In addition, consumer loan collections depend on the borrowers
continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, illness or personal bankruptcy. Various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may also limit the amount that
can be recovered on such loans. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had $21 million, or 2% of total loans, invested in consumer loans, $153,000 of which were non-performing.

Construction and Land Development Loans. The Bank makes loans for the construction of residential and nonresidential real estate and
land development purposes. Most of these loans are structured with adjustable rates of interest tied to changes in the Banks prime interest rate for the period of construction. A general contractor makes many of the construction loans
originated by the Bank to owner-occupants for the construction of single-family homes. Other loans are made to builders and developers for various projects, including the construction of homes and other buildings that have not been pre-sold and the
preparation of land for site and project development.

Construction and land development loans involve greater underwriting and default risks than
do loans secured by mortgages on improved and developing properties, due to the effects of general economic conditions on real estate developments, developers, managers and builders. In addition, such loans are more difficult to evaluate and
monitor. Loan funds are advanced upon the security of the project under construction, which is more difficult to value before the completion of construction. Moreover, because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs, it is
relatively difficult to evaluate accurately the LTVs and the total loan funds required to complete a project. In the event a default on a construction or land development loan occurs and foreclosure follows, the Bank must take control of the project
and attempt either to arrange for completion of construction or dispose of the unfinished project. At December 31, 2009, a total of $148 million, or approximately 13% of the Banks total loans, consisted of construction and land
development loans, $7.98 million of which were non-performing.

Municipal Obligations. The Bank makes loans to various
Kentucky municipalities for various purposes, including the construction of municipal buildings and equipment purchases. Loans made to municipalities are usually secured by mortgages on the properties financed or by a lien on equipment purchased or
by the general taxing authority of the municipality and provide certain tax benefits for the Bank. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had $20 million, or 1.7% of total loans, invested in municipal obligation loans, none of which were
non-performing.

Loan Solicitation and Processing. The Banks loan originations are developed from a number of
sources, including continuing business with depositors, borrowers and real estate developers, periodic newspaper and radio advertisements, solicitations by the Banks lending staff, walk-in customers, director referrals and an officer call
program. For nonresidential real estate loans, the Bank obtains information with respect to the credit and business history of the borrower and prior projects completed by the borrower. Personal guarantees of one or more principals of the borrower
are generally obtained. An environmental study of such real estate is normally conducted. Upon the completion of the appraisal of the nonresidential real estate and the receipt of information on the borrower, the loan application is submitted to the
Banks Loan Committee if the amount and/or relationship exceeds the officers lending authority for approval or rejection. If, however, the loan relationship is in excess of $2.50 million, the loan will be submitted to the Banks
Executive Committee for approval or rejection.

In connection with residential real estate loans, the Bank obtains a credit
report, verification of employment and other documentation concerning the creditworthiness of the borrower. An appraisal of the fair market value of the real estate on which the Bank will be granted a mortgage to secure the loan is prepared by an
independent fee appraiser approved by the Banks Board of Directors. An environmental study of such real estate is conducted only if the appraiser has reason to believe that an environmental problem may exist.

When a residential real estate loan application is approved, title insurance is normally obtained in respect of the real estate, which will
secure the loan. When a nonresidential real estate loan application is approved, title insurance is customarily obtained on the title to the real estate, which will secure the mortgage loan. All borrowers are required to carry satisfactory fire and
casualty insurance and flood insurance, if applicable, and name the Bank as an insured mortgagee.

Commercial loans are
underwritten primarily on the basis of the stability of the income generated by the business and/or property. For most commercial loans, however, the personal guarantees of one or more principals of the borrowers are generally obtained. Consumer
loans are underwritten on the basis of the borrowers credit history and an analysis of the borrowers income and expenses, ability to repay the loan and the value of the collateral, if any. The procedure for approval of construction loans
is the same as for permanent mortgage loans, except that an appraiser evaluates the building plans, construction specifications and estimates of construction costs. The Bank also evaluates the feasibility of the proposed construction project and the
experience and record of the builder.

Loan Origination and Other Fees. The Bank realizes loan origination fees and
other fee income from its lending activities and also realizes income from late payment charges, application fees, and fees for other miscellaneous services. Loan origination fees and other fees are a volatile source of income, varying with the
volume of lending, loan repayments and general economic conditions. Nonrefundable loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to yield over the life of the related loan.

Delinquent Loans, Non-Performing Assets and Classified Assets. When a borrower fails
to make a required payment on a loan, the Bank attempts to cause the deficiency to be cured by contacting the borrower. In most cases, deficiencies are cured promptly as a result of these collection efforts.

Loans that are 90 days past due and are not considered well secured and in the process of collection shall be placed on non-accrual status.
Under-collateralized loans that are 90 days past due shall be reviewed for full or partial charge-off. The amount charged off will be charged against the loan loss allowance.

The Bank utilizes a risk-rating system to quantify commercial loan quality. The lending officer assigns a risk rating from one to eight for
each loan. Classified commercial loans are those with risk ratings of seven or higher. Each loan rating is determined by analyzing the borrowers management, financial ability, sales trends, operating results, financial conditions, asset
protection, contingencies, payment history, financial flexibility, credit enhancements and other relevant factors. Loans that fall into the classified categories are monitored on a regular basis and proper action is taken to minimize the Banks
exposure. Losses or partial losses will be taken when they are recognized.

The Banks risk rating system was developed
in a manner that is consistent with the regulatory guidance. Problem assets are classified as special mention (risk rating 6), substandard (risk rating 7), or doubtful (risk rating 8). Substandard
assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the same weaknesses as
substandard assets, with the additional characteristics that (i) the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable and (ii) there is a high
possibility of loss. The regulations also contain a special mention or also known as criticized assets category, consisting of assets which do not currently expose an institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant
classification but which possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving managements close attention. Generally, the Bank classifies as substandard all commercial loans that are delinquent more than 60 days, unless
management believes the delinquency status is short-term due to unusual circumstances. Loans delinquent fewer than 60 days may also be classified if the loans have the characteristics described above rendering classification appropriate.

The aggregate amounts of the Banks classified assets at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

The following table sets forth information with respect to the Banks nonperforming assets for the
periods indicated. In addition, the Bank evaluates loans to identify those that are impaired. Impaired loans are those for which management has determined that it is probable that the customer will be unable to comply with the
contractual terms of the loan. Loans so identified are reduced (i) to the

fair value of the collateral securing the loan; (ii) to the present value of expected future cash flows; or (iii) to the market price of the loan based upon readily available
information for that type of loan, by the allocation of a portion of the allowance for loan losses to the loan. As of December 31, 2009, the Bank had designated $36 million as impaired loans, a portion of these loans were included in the
non-accrual and 90 days past due and accruing troubled debt restructurings totals below. Management evaluates for impairment all loans selected for specific review during the quarterly allowance analysis. Generally, that analysis will not address
smaller balance consumer credits.

|(1) | A loan is generally placed on non-accrual status if (i) it becomes 90 days or more past due (120 days past due for installment loans), or (ii) payment in full
of both principal and interest cannot be reasonably expected. Payments received on a non-accrual loan are applied to principal until qualifying for return to accrual method.

|(2) | Consists of real estate acquired through foreclosure, which is carried at fair value less estimated selling expenses.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(3) | Consists of accruing TDR loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties where the Bank made certain concessionary modifications to the loans contractual
terms such as interest rate reductions, principal forgiveness, or other actions intended minimize or eliminate the economic loss and avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. TDRs accrue interest as long as the borrower complies with the
modified terms.

Allowance for Loan Losses. While management believes that it uses the best information
available to determine the allowance for loan losses, unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustments, and net earnings could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the final
determination. At December 31, 2009, the Banks allowance for loan losses totaled $15.2 million.

On at least a
quarterly basis, a formal analysis of the adequacy of the allowance is prepared and reviewed by management and the Banks Board of Directors. This analysis serves as a point in time assessment of the level of the allowance and serves as a basis
for provisions for loan losses. The loan quality monitoring process includes assigning loan grades and the use of a watch list to identify loans of concern.

the allowance to individual problem loans, generally based on an analysis of the collateral securing those loans. Portions of the allowance are also allocated to loans based on their risk rating, the higher the risk rating the higher the allowance
allocated to that loan. These components are added together and compared to the balance of our allowance at the evaluation date. A high and low range of the allowance is calculated to recognize the imprecision in estimating and measuring loss when
evaluating reserves for pools of loans. The position of the allowance for loan losses within the computed range may be adjusted for significant factors that, in managements judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions of credit
quality.

The following table provides an allocation of the Banks allowance for loan losses as of each of the following
dates:

The Bank increased its allowance for loan losses from
$9.9 million at December 31, 2008, to $15.1 million at December 31, 2009. Because the loan loss allowance is based on estimates, it is monitored on an ongoing basis and adjusted as necessary to provide an adequate allowance. For further
discussion on the allowance for loan losses see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Form 10-K.

Investment Activities

The investment policy of the Bank is both to manage
the utilization of excess funds and to provide for the liquidity needs of the Bank as loan demand and daily operations dictate. The Banks federal income tax position is also a consideration in its investment decisions. Investments in
tax-exempt securities with maturities of less than 10 years are considered when the net yield exceeds that of taxable securities and the Banks effective tax rate warrants such investments.

The following table sets forth the composition of the Banks securities portfolio, at the dates indicated:

Deposits and Borrowings

General.Deposits have traditionally been
the primary source of the Banks funds for use in lending and other investment activities. In addition to deposits, the Bank derives funds from interest payments and principal repayments on loans and income on earning assets. Loan payments are
a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows fluctuate more in response to economic conditions and interest rates. The Bank has lines of credit established at its major correspondent banks to purchase federal funds to meet
liquidity needs. The Bank may also borrow funds from the FHLB in the form of advances.

The Bank also uses retail repurchase
agreements as a source of funds. These agreements essentially represent borrowings by the Bank from customers with maturities of three months or less. Certain securities are pledged as collateral for these agreements. At December 31, 2009, the
Bank had $21.7 million in retail repurchase agreements.

The Bank also entered into a capital lease obligation for a branch in
1997 with a term of 20 years and a monthly payment of $4,000.

Deposits. Deposits are attracted principally from within
the Banks designated lending area through the offering of numerous deposit instruments, including regular passbook savings accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts, money market deposit accounts, term certificate
accounts and individual retirement accounts (IRAs). Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties for the various types of accounts are established periodically by the Banks management based on the
Banks liquidity requirements, growth goals and market trends. The Bank may on occasion use brokers to attract deposits. The Bank had $5 million in brokered deposits as of December 31, 2009.

The following table presents the amount of the Banks jumbo certificates of deposit with principal balances greater than $100,000 by
the time remaining until maturity as of December 31, 2009:

Asset/Liability
Management. The Banks earnings depend primarily upon its net interest income, which is the difference between its interest income on its interest-earning assets, such as mortgage loans and investment securities, and its interest expense
paid on its interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of deposits and borrowings. As market interest rates change, asset yields and liability costs do not change simultaneously. Due to maturity, re-pricing and timing differences of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities, earnings will be affected differently under various interest rate scenarios. The Bank has sought to limit these net income fluctuations and manage interest rate risk by originating adjustable-rate loans and
purchasing relatively short-term and variable-rate investments and securities.

The Banks interest rate spread is the
principal determinant of the Banks net interest income. The interest rate spread can vary considerably over time because asset and liability re-pricing do not coincide. Moreover, the long-term and cumulative effect of interest rate changes can
be substantial. Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of an institutions earnings and net asset values to changes in interest rates.

The ability to maximize net interest income is largely dependent upon sustaining a positive interest rate spread during fluctuations in the prevailing level of interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity is
a measure of the difference between amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which either re-price or mature within a given period of time. The difference, or the interest rate re-pricing gap, provides an
indication of the extent to which a financial institutions interest rate spread will be affected by changes in interest rates. A positive gap occurs when interest-earning assets exceed interest-bearing liabilities re-pricing during a
designated time frame. Conversely, a negative gap occurs when interest-bearing liabilities exceed interest-earning assets re-pricing within a designated time frame. Generally, during a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would adversely
affect net interest income, while a positive gap would result in an increase in net interest income, and during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive gap would have
the opposite effect.

In recognition of the foregoing factors, the management and the Board of Directors of the Bank have
implemented an asset and liability management strategy directed toward maintaining a reasonable degree of interest rate sensitivity. The principal elements of such strategy include: (i) meeting the consumer preference for fixed-rate loans over
the past two years by establishing a correspondent lending program that has enabled the Bank to originate and sell fixed-rate mortgage loans; (ii) maintaining relatively short weighted-average terms to maturity in the securities portfolio as a
hedge against rising interest rates; (iii) emphasizing the origination and retention of adjustable-rate loans; and (iv) utilizing longer term certificates of deposit as funding sources when available. Management and the Board of Directors
monitor the Banks exposure to interest rate risk on a monthly basis to ensure the interest rate risk is maintained within an acceptable range. For more information on the Banks interest rate risk see the Asset/Liability Management
and Market Risk section of Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

##### Table of Contents

The following table sets forth the amounts of the Banks interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2009, which is scheduled to re-price or mature in each of the time periods shown. The amount of assets and liabilities shown which re-price or mature in a given period were determined in
accordance with the contractual terms of the asset or liability. The table shows that the maturity or re-pricing of the Banks liabilities exceed the contractual terms to maturity or re-pricing of the Banks earning assets in a
twelve-month period by $325.8 million. While this table based on contractual terms shows a negative gap, the Banks interest rate model which incorporates assumptions based on historical behavior shows a negative gap of
$186.4 million. The difference is a result of the Banks interest rate model assumption that the balances in NOW and savings accounts react within a two-year timeframe to market rate changes, rather than re-pricing immediately. These
instruments are not tied to specific indices and are only influenced by market conditions and other factors. The Banks experience with NOW and savings accounts has been that they have re-priced at a pace equal to approximately 25% of a prime
change. Accordingly, a general movement in interest rates may not have any immediate effect on the rates paid on those deposit accounts.

Competition

There is
significant competition within the banking and financial services industry in northern Kentucky, which is the primary market in which the Bank operates. Changes in regulation, technology and product delivery systems have resulted in an increasingly
competitive environment. The Bank expects to continue to face increasing competition from online and traditional financial institutions seeking to attract customers by providing access to similar services and products.

Some of the institutions which compete with the Bank are among the largest financial institutions in the United States. Any actual
intervention or assistance to these competitors made by the U.S. federal government, as well as the perception that such assistance would be forthcoming if needed, could have the effect of eroding any competitive advantages of the Bank in the
markets in which it operates. Within the northern Kentucky and greater Cincinnati Ohio markets, the Bank competes with approximately seven financial institutions with over $50 billion in total assets, as well as numerous state chartered banking
institutions of comparable or larger size and resources and smaller community banking organizations. The Bank also has numerous local, regional and national nonbank competitors, including savings and loan associations, credit unions, mortgage
companies, insurance companies,

finance companies, financial service operations of major retailers, investment brokerage and financial advisory firms and mutual fund companies. Because nonbank financial institutions are not
subject to the same regulatory restrictions as banks and bank holding companies, they can often operate with greater flexibility and lower cost structures. Currently, the Bank does not face meaningful competition from international banks in its
market, although that could change in the future.

The Bank competes for deposits primarily with other commercial banks,
savings associations and credit unions and with the issuers of commercial paper and other securities, such as shares in money market mutual funds. The primary factors in competing for deposits are interest rates and convenience of office locations.
The Bank competes for making loans primarily with other banks, savings associations, consumer finance companies, credit unions, leasing companies and other nonbank competitors. The Bank competes for loan originations primarily through the interest
rates and loan fees it charges and through the efficiency and quality of services it provides to borrowers. Competition for loans is affected by, among other things, the general availability of lendable funds, general and local economic conditions,
current interest rate levels and other factors that are not readily predictable.

Due to the Banks size relative to the
many other financial institutions in its market, management believes that the Bank does not have a substantial share of the deposit and loan markets. The table below presents FDIC deposit data regarding the Banks deposit market share. The June
2009 data set forth below is the most current data available from the FDIC at this time and represents those counties in which the Bank has reported market share for deposits.

Services
provided by the Banks trust division face competition from many national, regional and local financial institutions. Companies that offer broad services similar to those provided by the Bank, such as other banks, trust companies and full
service brokerage firms, as well as companies that specialize in particular services offered by the Bank, such as investment advisors and mutual fund providers, all compete with the Banks trust division.

The Banks ability to compete effectively is a result of being able to provide customers with desired products and services in a
convenient and cost effective manner. Customers for commercial, consumer and mortgage banking as well as trust services are influenced by convenience, quality of service, personal contacts, availability of products and services and related pricing.
The Bank continually reviews its products, locations, alternative delivery channels, and pricing strategies to maintain and enhance its competitive position. Management believes it can compete effectively as a result of local market knowledge and
awareness of, and attention to, customer needs.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, the Bank had 286 full-time employees and 66 part-time employees. The Bank believes that relations with its
employees are good. None of the employees of the Bank are represented by a labor union or are subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

Regulation and Supervision

The following discussion describes elements of an extensive regulatory framework applicable to bank holding companies and banks and specific
information about BKFC. Federal and state regulation of banks and their holding companies is intended primarily for the protection of depositors and the Deposit Insurance Fund, rather than for the protection of stockholders and creditors.

Regulation of BKFC. BKFC is a bank holding company subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (FRB) under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (BHCA). As a bank holding company, BKFC is required to file periodic reports with, and is subject to the regulation, supervision and examination by,
the FRB. Such examination by the FRB determines whether BKFC is operating in accordance with various regulatory requirements and in a safe and sound manner. The FRB may initiate enforcement proceedings against BKFC for violations of laws or
regulations or for engaging in unsafe and unsound practices, particularly if such conduct could or does adversely impact the Bank. BKFC is also subject to the disclosure and regulatory requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as administered by the SEC.

Under the BHCA, the FRBs prior approval is
required in any case in which BKFC proposes to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank, or merge or consolidate with any other bank
holding company. The BHCA also prohibits, with certain exceptions, BKFC from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of any class of voting shares of any non-banking company. Under the BHCA, BKFC may not engage in any
business other than managing and controlling banks or furnishing certain specified services to subsidiaries and may not acquire voting control of non-banking companies unless the FRB determines such businesses and services to be closely related to
banking. When reviewing bank acquisition applications for approval, the FRB considers, among other things, each subsidiary banks record in meeting the credit needs of the communities it serves in accordance with the Community Reinvestment Act
of 1977, as amended (the CRA). The Bank has a current CRA rating of satisfactory. In addition, the FRB could require that BKFC terminate any activity, if the FRB deems the activity to constitute a serious risk to the
financial soundness of the Bank.

It is the policy of the FRB that a bank holding company be ready and able to use its
resources to provide capital to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity. The FRB could require BKFC to provide such support at times when BKFC lacks the resources to do so. See Regulatory Capital Requirements
and Dividend Restrictions regarding minimum capital levels to which BKFC is subject and regulatory limits on BKFCs ability to pay dividends to stockholders. As a bank holding company, BKFC must notify the FRB if, during any
one-year period, it seeks to redeem shares of stock in an amount such that total redemptions during the year, net of sales of shares, would be greater than 10% of BKFCs net worth.

Regulation of the Bank.The Bank is a Kentucky-chartered bank with FDIC deposit insurance. The Bank is subject to numerous federal
and state statutes and regulations regarding the conduct of its business, including, among other things: maintenance of reserves against deposits; capital adequacy; restrictions on the nature and amount of loans which may be made and the interest
which may be charged thereon; restrictions on the terms of loans to officers, directors, large shareholders and their affiliates; restrictions relating to investments and other activities; and requirements regarding mergers and branching activities.

The Bank is subject to the regulation, supervision and examination by the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions
(Department) and the FDIC. Both the Department and the FDIC have the authority to issue cease-and-desist orders if either determines that the activities of the Bank represent unsafe and unsound banking practices. If the grounds provided by law
exist, the Department or the FDIC may appoint a conservator or receiver for the Bank.

State-chartered banks, like the Bank,
are subject to regulatory oversight under various consumer protection and fair lending laws. These laws govern, among other things, truth-in-lending disclosure, equal credit opportunity, fair credit reporting and community reinvestment. Failure to
abide by federal laws and regulations governing community reinvestment could limit the ability of a state-chartered bank to open a new branch or engage in a merger transaction.

The Bank is subject to the guidance on sound risk management practices for concentrations in
commercial real estate lending set forth by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the FRB, and the FDIC. The guidance is intended to help ensure that institutions pursuing a significant commercial real estate lending strategy remain healthy
and profitable while continuing to serve the credit needs of their communities. Also, this guidance directs institutions in developing risk management practices and levels of capital that are commensurate with the level and nature of their
commercial real estate concentrations.

Kentucky law limits loans or other extensions of credit to any borrower to 20% of the
Banks paid-in capital and actual surplus. Such limit is increased to 30% if the borrower provides good collateral security or executes to it a mortgage upon real or personal property with a cash value exceeding the amount of the loan. Loans or
extensions of credit to certain borrowers are aggregated, and loans secured by certain government obligations are exempt from these limits. At December 31, 2009, the maximum the Bank could lend to any one borrower generally equaled $21 million
and equaled $32 million if the borrower provided collateral with a cash value in excess of the amount of the loan. Federal banking laws and regulations also limit the transfer of funds or other items of value, including pursuant to the provision of
loans, from banks to their affiliates.

Generally, the Banks permissible activities and investments are prescribed by
Kentucky law. However, state-chartered banks, including the Bank, may not, directly or through a subsidiary, engage in activities or make any investments as principal not permitted for a national bank, a bank holding company or a subsidiary of a
nonmember bank, unless they obtain FDIC approval.

Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. In response to recent
unprecedented market turmoil, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the EESA) was enacted on October 3, 2008. The EESA authorizes the Secretary of the United States Department of the Treasury (the Secretary)
to purchase or guarantee up to $700 billion in troubled assets from financial institutions under the TARP. Pursuant to authority granted under the EESA, the Secretary has created the TARP CPP under which the Treasury Department will invest up to
$250 billion in senior preferred stock of U.S. banks and savings associations or their holding companies. Qualifying financial institutions may issue senior preferred stock with a value equal to not less than 1% of risk-weighted assets and not more
than the lesser of $25 billion or 3% of risk-weighted assets.

Institutions participating in the TARP or CPP are required to
issue warrants for common or preferred stock or senior debt to the Secretary. If an institution participates in the CPP or if the Secretary acquires a meaningful equity or debt position in the institution as a result of TARP participation, the
institution is required to meet certain standards for executive compensation and corporate governance, including a prohibition against incentives to take unnecessary and excessive risks, recovery of bonuses paid to senior executives based on
materially inaccurate earnings or other statements and a prohibition against agreements for the payment of golden parachutes. Institutions that sell more than $300 million in assets under TARP auctions or participate in the CPP will not be entitled
to a tax deduction for compensation in excess of $500,000 paid to its chief executive or chief financial official or any of its other three most highly compensated officers. In addition, any severance paid to such officers for involuntary
termination or termination in connection with a bankruptcy or receivership will be subject to the golden parachute rules under the Internal Revenue Code. Additional standards with respect to executive compensation and corporate governance for
institutions that have participated or will participate in the TARP (including the CPP) were enacted as part of the ARRA, described below.

CPP Participation. On February 13, 2009, BKFC entered into a Letter Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with the Treasury Department under the CPP, pursuant to which BKFC agreed to
issue 34,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, having a liquidation amount per share equal to $1,000, for a total price of $34 million. The Series A Preferred Stock pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per year for the first five
years and thereafter at a rate of 9% per year. Under the ARRA, BKFC may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock subject to the approval of the Treasury Department and its primary federal regulator. BKFC may, at its option, redeem the Series A
Preferred Stock at par value plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock is generally non-voting, but does have the right to vote as a class on the issuance of any preferred stock ranking senior, any change in its terms or any
merger, exchange or similar transaction that would adversely affect its rights. The holder(s) of Series A Preferred Stock also have the right to elect two directors if dividends have not been paid for six periods.

##### Table of Contents

As part of its purchase of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Treasury Department received
the Warrant to purchase 274,784 shares of BKFC common stock, at an initial per share exercise price of $18.56. The Warrant provides for the adjustment of the exercise price and the number of shares of BKFCs common stock issuable upon exercise
pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions, such as upon stock splits or distributions of securities or other assets to holders of BKFCs common stock, and upon certain issuances of BKFCs common stock at or below a specified price
relative to the initial exercise price. The Warrant expires 10 years from the issuance date. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Treasury Department has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any shares of common stock issued upon
exercise of the Warrant. Under the ARRA, the Warrant would be liquidated upon the redemption by BKFC of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Both the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrant will be accounted for as components of Tier 1 capital, as further described below.

Prior to February 13, 2012, unless BKFC has redeemed the Series A Preferred Stock or the Treasury Department has transferred the Series A Preferred Stock to a third party, the consent of the Treasury
Department will be required for BKFC to (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on its common stock (other than regular semiannual cash dividends of not more than $0.28 per share of common stock) or (2) redeem, purchase or
acquire any shares of its common stock or other equity or capital securities, other than in connection with benefit plans consistent with past practice and certain other circumstances specified in the Purchase Agreement.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The ARRA was enacted on February 17, 2009. The ARRA includes a wide variety of
programs intended to stimulate the economy and provide for extensive infrastructure, energy, health and education needs. In addition, the ARRA imposes certain new executive compensation and corporate governance obligations on all current and future
TARP recipients, including BKFC, until the institution has redeemed the preferred stock, which TARP recipients are now permitted to do under the ARRA without regard to the three year holding period and without the need to raise new capital, subject
to approval of its primary federal regulator. The executive compensation restrictions under the ARRA (described below) are more stringent than those currently in effect under the CPP, but it is yet unclear how these executive compensation standards
will relate to the similar standards recently announced by the Treasury Department, or whether the standards will be considered effective immediately or only after implementing regulations are issued by the Treasury Department.

The ARRA amends Section 111 of the EESA to require the Secretary to adopt additional standards with respect to executive compensation
and corporate governance for TARP recipients (including BKFC). The standards required to be established by the Secretary include, in part: (i) prohibitions on making golden parachute payments to senior executive officers and the next 5 most
highly-compensated employees during such time as any obligation arising from financial assistance provided under the TARP remains outstanding (the Restricted Period); (ii) prohibitions on paying or accruing bonuses or other
incentive awards for certain senior executive officers and employees, except for awards of long-term restricted stock with a value equal to no greater than 1/3 of the subject employees annual compensation that do not fully vest during the
Restricted Period or unless such compensation is pursuant to a valid written employment contract prior to February 11, 2009; (ii) requirements that CPP participants provide for the recovery of any bonus or incentive compensation paid to
the 20 most highly-compensated employees based on statements of earnings, revenues, gains or other criteria later found to be materially inaccurate, with the Secretary having authority to negotiate for reimbursement; and (iv) a review by the
Secretary of all bonuses and other compensation paid by TARP participants to senior executive employees and the next 20 most highly-compensated employees before the date of enactment of the ARRA to determine whether such payments were inconsistent
with the purposes of the Act.

The ARRA also sets forth additional corporate governance obligations for TARP recipients,
including requirements for the Secretary to establish standards that provide for semi-annual meetings of compensation committees of the board of directors to discuss and evaluate employee compensation plans in light of an assessment of any risk
posed from such compensation plans. TARP recipients are further required by the ARRA to have in place company-wide policies regarding excessive or luxury expenditures, permit non-binding shareholder say-on-pay proposals to be included in
proxy materials, as well as require written certifications by the chief executive officer and chief financial officer with respect to compliance. On June 15, 2009, the Secretary promulgated regulations to implement the executive compensation
and certain corporate governance provisions detailed in the ARRA. For more information on BKFCs obligations under the EESA, ARRA and TARP, see the Capital Purchase Program section of Item 7 Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Regulatory Capital Requirements. The FRB has adopted risk-based capital guidelines
for bank holding companies. Such companies must maintain adequate consolidated capital to meet the minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance-sheet items, such as standby letters of credit) (the
Risk-Based Ratio) of 8%. At least half of the minimum-required total capital of 8% must be composed of Tier 1 Capital, which consists of common shareholders equity, minority interests in the equity of consolidated subsidiaries and
a limited amount of perpetual preferred stock, less goodwill and certain other intangibles (Tier 1 Risk-Based Ratio). The remainder of total capital may consist of subordinated and qualifying convertible debt, other preferred stock and a
limited amount of loan and lease loss allowances.

The FRB has also established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for bank
holding companies. The guidelines provide for a minimum ratio of Tier 1 Capital to average total assets (excluding the loan and lease loss allowance, goodwill and certain other intangibles, and portions of certain nonfinancial equity investments)
(the Leverage Ratio) of 3% for bank holding companies that meet specified criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding companies must maintain a Leverage Ratio of 4% to 5%. The guidelines further
provide that bank holding companies making acquisitions are expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels.

The Bank is subject to similar capital requirements, and such capital requirements are imposed and enforced by the FDIC.

The following table sets forth the Tier 1 Risk-Based Ratio, Total Risk-Based Ratio and Leverage Ratio for BKFC and the Bank at December 31, 2009:

The FDIC may require an increase in a banks risk-based capital requirements on an individualized basis
to address the banks exposure to a decline in the economic value of its capital due to a change in interest rates, among other things.

Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action. The FDIC has adopted regulations governing prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of capital deficient and otherwise troubled banks under its
regulation. For these purposes, the law establishes three categories of capital deficient institutions: undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. At each successively lower defined capital category, an
institution is subject to more restrictive and numerous mandatory or discretionary regulatory actions or limits, and the FDIC has less flexibility in determining how to resolve the problems of the institution. The FDIC generally can downgrade an
institutions capital category, notwithstanding its capital level, if, after notice and opportunity for hearing, the institution is deemed to be engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice because it has not corrected deficiencies that resulted
in it receiving a less than satisfactory examination rating on matters other than capital or it is deemed to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. An undercapitalized institution must submit a capital restoration

plan to the FDIC within 45 days after it becomes undercapitalized. Such institution will be subject to increased monitoring and asset growth restrictions and will be required to obtain prior
approval for acquisitions, branching and engaging in new lines of business. Furthermore, critically undercapitalized institutions must be placed in conservatorship or receivership within 270 days of reaching that capitalization level, except under
limited circumstances. At year-end 2009 the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that
management believes have changed the institutions category.

The FDIC has adopted regulations to implement the prompt
corrective action legislation. An institution is deemed to be well capitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, and a leverage ratio of 5% or greater. An
institution is adequately capitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or greater and generally a leverage ratio of 4% or greater. An institution is
undercapitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4%, or generally a leverage ratio of less than 4% (3% or less for institutions with the highest examination
rating). An institution is deemed to be significantly undercapitalized if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3%, or a leverage ratio of less than 3%. An institution is
considered to be critically undercapitalized if it has a ratio of tangible equity (as defined in the regulations) to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%. The Banks capital levels at December 31, 2009 met the
standards for the highest level, a well-capitalized institution.

Federal law prohibits a financial institution
from making a capital distribution to anyone or paying management fees to any person having control of the institution if, after such distribution or payment, the institution would be undercapitalized. In addition, each holding company controlling
an undercapitalized institution must guarantee that the institution will comply with its capital restoration plan until the institution has been adequately capitalized on an average during each of the four preceding calendar quarters and must
provide adequate assurances of performance. The aggregate liability pursuant to such guarantee is limited to the lesser of (i) an amount equal to 5% of the institutions total assets at the time it became undercapitalized or (ii) the
amount necessary to bring the institution into compliance with all capital standards applicable to such institution at the time the institution fails to comply with its capital restoration plan.

Dividend Restrictions. There are a number of statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to the payment of dividends by banks
and bank holding companies. Please see Note 18 of the financial statements for a discussion on the Banks current dividend restrictions.

As part of the CPP program, any increase in BKFCs dividend level from the September 2008 semi-annual payment of $.28 per share must be approved by the Treasury Department.

If the FRB or the FDIC determines that a bank holding company or a bank is engaged in or is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice
(which, depending on the financial condition of the entity, could include the payment of dividends), that regulator may require, after notice and hearing, that such bank holding company or bank cease and desist from such practice. In addition, the
FRB and the FDIC have issued policy statements, which provide that insured banks and bank holding companies should generally only pay dividends out of current operating earnings. The FDIC prohibits the payment of any dividend by a bank that would
constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Compliance with the minimum capital requirements limits the amounts that BKFC and the Bank can pay as dividends.

In 2009, BKFC paid a cash dividend of $0.56 per share totaling approximately $3.14 million on common shares and cash dividends on the preferred shares of $1.28 million.

FDIC Deposit Insurance and Assessments.The FDIC is an independent federal agency that insures deposits, up to prescribed statutory
limits, of federally insured banks and thrifts and safeguards the safety and soundness of the banking and thrift industries. The Banks deposits are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC (the DIF). The DIF is the
successor to the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund, which were merged in 2006. The FDIC amended its risk-based assessment system for to implement authority granted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005.
Under the revised system, insured institutions are assigned to one of four risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other factors. An institutions assessment rate depends upon the category to
which it is assigned. Risk Category I, which



23



---

##### Table of Contents

contains the least risky depository institutions, is expected to include 90% of all institutions. Unlike the other categories, Risk Category I contains further risk differentiation based on the
FDICs analysis of financial ratios, examination component ratings and other information.

In October 2008, the basic
limit on federal deposit insurance coverage of interest bearing transaction accounts increased from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor under the EESA. In November 2008, the FDIC offered a voluntary expanded insurance program to depository
institutions, which provides, without charge to depositors, full guarantee on all non-interest bearing transaction accounts held by any depositor, regardless of dollar amount. The Bank participates in this program. The FDIC maintains the DIF by
assessing each depository institution an insurance premium. The amount of FDIC assessments paid by a DIF member institution is based on its relative risk of default as measured by a companys FDIC supervisory rating, and other various measures,
such as the level of brokered deposits, unsecured debt, and debt issuer ratings.

On September 29, 2009, the FDIC adopted
an Amended Restoration Plan to allow the Deposit Insurance Fund to return to a reserve ratio of 1.15% within eight years, as mandated by statute. As part of the Amended Restoration Plan, the FDIC amended its assessment regulations to require all
institutions to prepay on December 30, 2009 their estimated risk-based insurance assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. At that same time, institutions were also required to pay their regular quarterly
assessments for the third quarter of 2009. An institutions quarterly risk-based deposit insurance assessments thereafter would be paid from the amount the institution prepaid until that amount was exhausted or until December 31, 2014,
when any amount remaining would be returned to the institution. The prepaid assessment amount was $6.69 million on December 31, 2009.

The DIF assessment rate currently ranges from $0.12 to $0.50 per $100 of domestic deposits. Effective April 1, 2009, the FDIC has proposed an assessment rate range of 12 to 45 basis points for
institutions that do not exceed a certain threshold amount of brokered deposits and secured liabilities, and higher rates for those that do exceed the threshold amount. The FDIC may increase or decrease the assessment rate schedule from one quarter
to the next. An increase in the assessment rate could have a material adverse effect on BKFCs earnings, depending on the amount of the increase. The FDIC is authorized to terminate a depository institutions deposit insurance upon a
finding by the FDIC that the institutions financial condition is unsafe or unsound, or that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, or has violated any applicable rule, regulation, order or condition enacted or imposed by
the institutions regulatory agency. The termination of deposit insurance for the Bank could have a material adverse effect on BKFCs earnings.

FRB Reserve Requirements. FRB regulations currently require banks to maintain reserves of 3% of net transaction accounts (primarily demand and NOW accounts) up to $55.2 million of such accounts
(subject to an exemption of up to $10.7 million), and of 10% of net transaction accounts in excess of $55.2 million. At December 31, 2009, the Bank was in compliance with this reserve requirement, which was $5,325,000.

Acquisitions of Control. Acquisitions of controlling interests of BKFC and the Bank are subject to the limitations in federal and
state laws. These limits generally require regulatory approval of acquisitions of specified levels of stock of any of these entities. Acquisitions of BKFC or the Bank by merger or pursuant to the purchase of assets also require regulatory approval.

Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs) provide credit to their members in the form
of advances. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati and must maintain an investment in the capital stock of the FHLB of Cincinnati that consist of two components, the first is the membership component which is equal to 0.15% of the
Banks total assets, the second is an activity component that is equal to 2% to 4% of the Banks outstanding advances. The Bank is in compliance with this requirement with an investment in stock of the FHLB of Cincinnati of $4,959,000 at
December 31, 2009. Generally, FHLBs are not permitted to make new advances to a member without positive tangible capital.

Federal
Taxation

BKFC. BKFC and the Bank file a consolidated federal income tax return on a calendar year basis. BKFC is
subject to the federal tax laws and regulations that apply to corporations generally.

##### Table of Contents

The Bank. In 2000, the Bank acquired the stock of FTFC. FTFCs wholly owned
subsidiary was FTSB. Federal income tax laws provided savings banks with additional bad debt deductions through 1987, totaling $1,255,000 for FTFC. Accounting standards do not require a deferred tax liability to be recorded on this amount, which
would otherwise total $427,000. Upon acquisition, this unrecorded liability was transferred to the Bank. If the Bank was liquidated or otherwise ceased to be a bank or if tax laws were to change, the $427,000 would be recorded as a liability with an
offset to income tax expense.

In 2007, BKFC consummated the acquisition of FNB Bancorporation, Inc. and its subsidiary, First
Bank. The First Bank acquisition included a $13,748,000 net operating loss (NOL) carryforward which was set up as a $4,700,000 deferred tax asset. The NOL carryforward will be deducted from income over the next 18 years in accordance to
section 382 of the tax code.

Kentucky Taxation

BKFC. Kentucky corporations, such as BKFC, are subject to the Kentucky corporation income tax and the Kentucky corporation license (franchise) tax. The income tax is imposed based on the following
rates: 4% of the first $50,000 of taxable net income allocated or apportioned to Kentucky; 5% of the next $50,000; and 7% of taxable net income over $100,000. All dividend income received by a corporation is excluded for purposes of arriving at
taxable net income.

Domestic corporations are subject to state and local ad valorem taxes on tangible personal property and
real property that is not otherwise exempt from taxation. The rates of taxation for tangible personal property vary depending on the character of the property. The state rate of taxation on real property equals $0.315 per $100 of value as of
January 1 each year. Thus, BKFC is subject to ad valorem taxation on its taxable tangible personal property and real property.

The Bank. State banks are not subject to Kentucky corporation income tax.

The Commonwealth of Kentucky
imposes both a Kentucky Bank Franchise Tax and Local Deposits Franchise Tax. The Kentucky Bank Franchise Tax is an annual tax equal to 1.1% of net capital after apportionment if applicable. The value of net
capital is calculated annually by deducting from total capital an amount equal to the same percentage of the total as the book value of United States obligations bears to the book value of the total assets of the financial institution. The Bank pays
a portion of its franchise tax to the state of Ohio based on revenue apportioned to that state. The Local Deposits Franchise Tax is an annual tax of up to 0.025% imposed by each city and county on bank deposits within their
jurisdictions.

The Kentucky property tax extends to bank deposits (the Deposits Tax). The tax is levied at a rate
of 0.0001% of the amount of the deposits. It is the responsibility of the bank, not the depositor, to report and pay the Deposits Tax.

State banks are subject to state and local ad valorem taxes on tangible personal property and real property that is not otherwise exempt from taxation. The rates of taxation for tangible personal property vary depending on the character of
the property. The state rate of taxation on real property equals $0.315 per $100 of value as of January 1 each year.

The
Bank, as a financial institution, is exempt from both the corporate income and license taxes.

If any of the following risks occur, or if any combination of the following risks occur, the
financial condition and results of operations of BKFC or the Bank could be materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of BKFCs common stock could decline significantly.

References to we, us, and our in this Risk Factors section refer to BKFC and its
subsidiaries, including the Bank, unless otherwise specified or unless the context otherwise requires.

Our business depends upon the
general economic conditions of the northern Kentucky and greater Cincinnati Ohio area, and may continue to be adversely affected by downturns in the local economies in which we operate.

Our business operations are limited almost exclusively to the northern Kentucky and the greater Cincinnati, Ohio area, which is a small
geographic area. As such, our business is closely tied to the general economic conditions of this area. Local economic conditions in this area have a significant impact on the demand for our products and services, as well as the ability of our
customers to repay loans, the value of the collateral securing loans and the stability of the Banks deposit funding sources.

A significant decline in general economic conditions could increase loan delinquencies, increase problem assets and foreclosure, increase claims and lawsuits, decrease the demand for the Banks products and services, or decrease the
value of collateral for loans, especially real estate, in turn reducing customers borrowing power and the value of assets associated with problem loans and collateral coverage, thereby having a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.

A significant portion of our loans are secured by real estate and concentrated in the northern
Kentucky and greater Cincinnati area, which may adversely effect our earnings and capital if real estate values decline.

Nearly 80% of our total loans are real estate interests (residential, nonresidential including both owner occupied and investment real estate, and construction and land development) concentrated in the northern Kentucky area and neighboring
areas in greater Cincinnati, Ohio, a small geographic area. As a result, declining real estate values in the northern Kentucky and greater Cincinnati, Ohio markets as a result of the ongoing national economic recession could negatively impact the
value of the real estate collateral securing such loans. If we are required to liquidate a significant amount of collateral during a period of reduced real estate values in satisfaction of any nonperforming or defaulted loans, our earnings and
capital could be adversely affected.

We are subject to intense competition in our market area, and our business will be adversely affected
if we are unable to compete effectively.

BKFC and its subsidiaries compete with national financial institutions, as well
as numerous state chartered banking institutions of comparable or larger size and resources, smaller community banking organizations and a variety of nonbank competitors. The Bank competes for deposits with other commercial banks, savings
associations and credit unions and with the issuers of commercial paper and other securities, such as shares in money market mutual funds. In making loans, the Bank competes with other banks, savings associations, consumer finance companies, credit
unions, leasing companies and other lenders. Many of the institutions against whom we compete are national and regional banks that are significantly larger than us and, therefore, have significantly greater resources and the ability to achieve
economies of scale by offering a broader range of products and services at more competitive prices than we can offer. We expect competition to increase in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing
trend of consolidation in the financial services industry.

Our ability to compete successfully and to maintain and grow our
profitability depends upon a number of factors, including: the ability to develop, maintain and build upon long-term customer relationships based on top-quality service, high ethical standards and safe, sound assets; the ability to continue to
expand BKFCs market position through organic growth and strategic acquisitions; the scope, relevance and pricing of products and services offered to meet customer needs and demands; the rate at which BKFC introduces new products and services
relative to our competitors; and industry and general economic trends. Failure to perform in any of these areas could significantly weaken our competitive position, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operation.

Our nonresidential real estate loans expose us to greater risks of nonpayment and loss than residential
mortgage loans, which may cause us to increase our allowance for loan losses.

At December 31, 2009, $476 million, or
41%, of our loan portfolio consisted of nonresidential real estate loans. Nonresidential real estate loans generally expose a lender to greater risk of non-payment and loss than residential mortgage loans because repayment of the loans often depends
on the successful operation of the property and the income stream of the borrowers. Such loans expose us to additional risks because they typically are made on the basis of the borrowers ability to make repayments from the cash flow of the
borrowers business and are secured by collateral that may depreciate over time. These loans typically involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers compared to residential mortgage loans. Because such loans
generally entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans, we may need to increase our allowance for loan losses in the future to account for the likely increase in probable incurred credit losses associated with the growth of such loans. Also,
many of our nonresidential real estate borrowers have more than one loan outstanding with us. Consequently, an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to a significantly greater risk of loss compared to
an adverse development with respect to a residential mortgage loan.

We may require access to the capital and credit markets to conduct our
business operations, and the unprecedented levels of volatility that have impacted such capital and credit markets could impair our access to the same.

During 2008 and 2009, the capital and credit markets experienced extended volatility and disruption. In the third quarter of 2008, the volatility and disruption reached unprecedented levels. In some
cases, the markets produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit capacity for certain issuers without regard to those issuers underlying financial strength. If these levels of market disruption and volatility continue, worsen or abate
and then arise at a later date, BKFCs ability to access capital could be materially impaired. BKFCs inability to access the capital markets could constrain our ability to make new loans, to meet our existing lending commitments and,
ultimately, jeopardize our overall liquidity and capitalization.

In response to financial conditions affecting the banking
system and financial markets and the potential threats to the solvency of investment banks and other financial institutions, the U.S. government has taken unprecedented actions. These actions include the government assisted acquisition of Bear
Stearns by JPMorgan Chase, the federal conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the plan of Treasury Department to inject capital and to purchase mortgage loans and mortgage-backed and other securities from financial institutions for the
purpose of stabilizing the financial markets or particular financial institutions. Investors should not assume that these governmental actions will necessarily benefit the financial markets in general, or BKFC in particular. BKFC could also be
adversely impacted if one or more of its direct competitors are beneficiaries of selective governmental interventions (such as FDIC-assisted transactions) and BKFC does not receive comparable assistance. Further, investors should not assume that the
government will continue to intervene in the financial markets at all. Investors should be aware that governmental intervention (or the lack thereof) could materially and adversely affect BKFCs business, financial condition and results of
operations.

The ongoing national economic recession could require further additions to our allowance for loan losses, which would reduce
our net income.

If our borrowers do not repay their loans or if the collateral securing their loans is insufficient to
provide for the full repayment, we may suffer credit losses. Credit losses are inherent in the lending business and could have a material adverse effect on our operating results. We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of
our loan portfolio and provide an allowance for loan losses based on a number of factors. If our assumptions and judgments are wrong, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover our losses. If we determine that our allowance for
loan losses is insufficient, we would be required to take additional provisions for loan losses, which would reduce net income during the period those provisions are taken. In addition, our regulators periodically review our allowance for loan
losses and may require us to increase our allowance for loan losses or to charge off particular loans. The ongoing national economic recession, and its impact upon the northern Kentucky and greater Cincinnati, Ohio markets where our business is
concentrated, has caused us to continue to increase our allowance for loan losses. If current economic trends continue, BKFC may experience higher than normal delinquencies and credit losses, resulting in BKFC further increasing its provisions for
loan losses in the future and reduced net income.

Our accounting policies and estimates are critical to how we report our financial condition and results
of operations, and any changes to such accounting policies and estimates could materially affect how we report our financial condition and results of operations.

Accounting policies and estimates are fundamental to how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. Our management makes judgments and assumptions in selecting and adopting
various accounting policies and in applying estimates so that such policies and estimates comply with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).

Management has identified certain accounting policies as being critical because they require managements judgment to ascertain the
valuations of assets, liabilities, commitments and contingencies. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset, valuing an asset or liability or
reducing a liability. We have established detailed policies and control procedures that are intended to ensure that these critical accounting estimates and judgments are well controlled and applied consistently. In addition, these policies and
procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner. Because of the uncertainty surrounding our judgments and the estimates pertaining to these matters, actual outcomes may be materially
different from amounts previously estimated. For example, because of the inherent uncertainty of estimates, management cannot provide any assurance that the Bank will not significantly increase its allowance for loan losses if actual losses are more
than the amount reserved. Any increase in its allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we cannot guarantee that we will not be required to
adjust accounting policies or restate prior financial statements. See Allowance for Loan Losses under Item 1 Business and Critical Accounting Policies under Item 7 Management Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional discussion regarding these critical accounting policies.

Further, from time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and SEC change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements. The ongoing economic recession has resulted in
increased scrutiny of accounting standards by legislators and our regulators, particularly as they relate to fair value accounting principles. In addition, ongoing efforts to achieve convergence between GAAP and International Financial Reporting
Standards may result in changes to GAAP. These changes can be hard to predict and can materially impact how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised
standard retroactively, resulting in our restating prior period financial statements or otherwise adversely effecting our financial condition or results of operation.

Our largest source of revenue (net interest income) is subject to interest rate risk.

The Banks financial condition and results of operations are significantly affected by changes in interest rates. The Banks earnings depend primarily upon its net interest income, which is the
difference between its interest income earned on its interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and its interest expense paid on its interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of deposits and borrowings. Moreover, the loans
included in our interest-earning assets are primarily comprised of variable and adjustable rate loans. Net interest income is subject to interest rate risk in the following ways:



| |  |  | In general, for a given change in interest rates, the amount of change in value (positive or negative) is larger for assets and liabilities with longer
remaining maturities. The shape of the yield curve may affect new loan yields, funding costs and investment income differently.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The remaining maturity of various assets or liabilities may shorten or lengthen as payment behavior changes in response to changes in interest rates.
For example, if interest rates decline sharply, loans may pre-pay, or pay down, faster than anticipated, thus reducing future cash flows and interest income. Conversely, if interest rates increase, depositors may cash in their certificates of
deposit prior to maturity (notwithstanding any applicable early withdrawal penalties) or otherwise reduce their deposits to pursue higher yielding investment alternatives.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | Repricing frequencies and maturity profiles for assets and liabilities may occur at different times. For example, in a falling rate environment, if
assets re-price faster than liabilities, there will be an initial decline in earnings. Moreover, if assets and liabilities re-price at the same time, they may not be by the same increment. For instance, if the Federal Funds Rate increased fifty
basis points, rates on demand deposits may rise by 10 basis points; whereas rates on prime-based loans will instantly rise 50 basis points.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Financial instruments do not respond in a parallel fashion to rising or falling interest rates. This causes asymmetry in the magnitude of changes to net interest income, net economic value and investment
income resulting from the hypothetical increases and decreases in interest rates. Therefore, BKFCs management monitors interest rate risk and adjusts BKFCs funding strategies to mitigate adverse effects of interest rate shifts on
BKFCs balance sheet. The Banks asset and liability management strategies designed to maintain a reasonable degree of interest rate sensitivity are more fully described in Asset/Liability Management under Item 1
Business and Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk under Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Legislative and regulatory actions taken now or in the future to address the current liquidity and credit crisis in the financial industry may
significantly affect BKFCs financial condition, results of operation, liquidity or stock price.

The EESA, which
established the TARP, was enacted on October 3, 2008. As part of the TARP, the Treasury Department created the CPP, under which the Treasury Department will invest up to $250 billion in senior preferred stock of U.S. banks and savings
associations or their holding companies for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets. On February 17, 2009, the ARRA was enacted as a sweeping economic recovery package intended to stimulate the economy
and provide for extensive infrastructure, energy, health and education needs. There can be no assurance as to the actual impact that the EESA or its programs, including the CPP, and ARRA or its programs, will have on the national economy or
financial markets. The failure of these significant legislative measures to help stabilize the financial markets and a continuation or worsening of current financial market conditions could materially and adversely affect BKFCs financial
condition, results of operation, liquidity or stock price.

In addition, there have been numerous actions undertaken in
connection with or following the EESA and ARRA by the FRB, Congress, the Treasury Department, the FDIC, the SEC and others in efforts to address the current liquidity and credit crisis in the financial industry that followed the sub-prime mortgage
market meltdown which began in late 2007. These measures include homeowner relief that encourages loan restructuring and modification; the establishment of significant liquidity and credit facilities for financial institutions and investment banks;
the lowering of the federal funds rate; emergency action against short selling practices; a temporary guaranty program for money market funds; the establishment of a commercial paper funding facility to provide back-stop liquidity to commercial
paper issuers; a mandatory stress test requirement for banking institutions with assets in excess of $100 billion to analyze capital sufficiency and risk exposure; and coordinated international efforts to address illiquidity and other
weaknesses in the banking sector. The purpose of these legislative and regulatory actions is to help stabilize the U.S. banking system. However, the EESA, the ARRA and any current or future legislative or regulatory initiatives may not have their
desired effect, or may have an adverse effect when applied to BKFC.

Failure to meet any of the various capital adequacy guidelines which
we are subject to could adversely effect our operations and could compromise the status of BKFC as a bank holding company.

BKFC and the Bank are required to meet certain regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and other regulatory requirements imposed by the FRB, the FDIC and the Department. If BKFC or the Bank fails to meet these minimum capital guidelines and
other regulatory requirements, our financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected and could compromise the status of BKFC as a banking holding company. See Regulatory Capital Requirements under
Item 1 Business for detailed capital guidelines for bank holding companies and banks.

##### Table of Contents

BKFC is subject to liquidity risk, which could disrupt our ability to meet our financial obligations.

Liquidity refers to the availability of BKFC to ensure sufficient levels of cash to fund operations, such as meeting
deposit withdrawals, funding loan commitments, paying expenses and meeting quarterly payment obligations under certain subordinated debentures issued by BKFC in connection with the issuance of floating rate redeemable trust preferred securities
issued by BKFCs unconsolidated trust subsidiary. The source of the funds for BKFCs debt obligations is dependent on the Bank. If needed, the Bank has the ability to borrow term and overnight funds from the FHLB or other financial
intermediaries. The Bank also has $184 million of securities designated as available-for-sale that can serve as sources of funds. In addition, in February 2009 BKFC issued $34 million of Series A Preferred Stock to the Treasury Department as part of
the CPP, resulting in additional cash available to support the Banks capital position.

While management is satisfied
that BKFCs liquidity is sufficient at December 31, 2009 to meet known and potential obligations, any significant restriction or disruption of BKFCs ability to obtain funding from these or other sources could have a negative effect
on BKFCs ability to satisfy its current and future financial obligations, which could materially affect BKFCs financial condition.

BKFC is a bank holding company, and its sources of funds are limited.

BKFC is a bank holding company and its
operations are primarily conducted by the Bank, which is subject to significant federal and state regulation. Cash available to pay dividends to stockholders of BKFC is derived primarily, from dividends paid by the Bank. As a result, BKFCs
ability to receive dividends or loans from its subsidiaries is restricted. Under federal law, the payment of dividends by the Bank is subject to capital adequacy requirements. The FRB and/or the FDIC prohibit a dividend payment by BKFC or the Bank
that would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. See Dividend Restrictions under Item 1 Business.

The inability of the Bank to generate profits and pay such dividends to BKFC, or regulator restrictions on the payment of such dividends to BKFC even if earned, would have an adverse effect on the financial condition and results of
operations of BKFC and BKFCs ability to pay dividends to its shareholders.

In addition, since BKFC is a legal entity
separate and distinct from the Bank, its right to participate in the distribution of assets of the Bank upon the Banks liquidation, reorganization or otherwise will be subject to the prior claims of the Banks creditors, which will
generally take priority over the Banks shareholders.

Our stock price can be volatile.

Our stock price can fluctuate widely in response to a variety of factors, making it more difficult for you to resell your BKFC common stock
at prices you find attractive and at the time you want. Factors include: actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results; changes in recommendations or projections by securities analysts; operating and stock price performance of
other companies deemed to be peers; news reports and perception in the marketplace regarding BKFC, our competitors and/or the financial services industry as a whole; results of litigation; significant acquisitions or business combinations involving
BKFC or our competitors; and other factors, including those described in this Risk Factors section. For example, the existence of the Warrant to purchase up to 274,784 shares of BKFC common stock at an exercise price of $18.56 per share
and the potential for dilution or actual dilution the Warrant may cause, as described in detail below, may create volatility in the market price of BKFCs common stock.

In addition, our common stock also has a low average daily trading volume, which limits a persons ability to quickly accumulate or
quickly divest themselves of large blocks of our stock. Further, a low average trading volume can lead to significant price swings even when a relatively small number of shares are being traded.

Recent or future acquisitions by BKFC may not produce revenue enhancements or cost savings at levels or within timeframes originally anticipated and may
result in unforeseen integration difficulties.

BKFC regularly explores opportunities to acquire financial services
businesses or assets and may also consider opportunities to acquire other banks or financial institutions. In 2007, we acquired FNB Bancorporation. In

##### Table of Contents

2009, we acquired certain banking offices and assumed certain deposit liabilities of Integra Bank, as well as adding the investment professionals of Tapke Asset Management, LLC to the Banks
trust department. Difficulty in integrating an acquired business or company such as those described above or other businesses we acquire in the future may cause BKFC not to realize expected revenue increases, cost savings, increases in geographic or
product presence and/or other projected benefits. The integration could result in higher than expected deposit attrition (run-off), loss of key employees, disruption of BKFCs business or the business of the acquired company, or otherwise
adversely affect BKFCs ability to maintain relationships with customers and employees or achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Also, the negative effect of any divestitures required by regulatory authorities in acquisitions or
business combinations may be greater than expected.

The Treasury Departments investment in BKFC imposes restrictions and obligations
limiting BKFCs ability to increase dividends, repurchase common stock or preferred stock and access the equity capital markets.

Unless BKFC has redeemed all of the Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Treasury Department as part of the CPP, or unless the Treasury Department has transferred all of the Series A Preferred Stock to
a third party, the consent of the Treasury Department will be required for BKFC to, among other things, increase common stock dividends or effect repurchases of common stock (with certain exceptions). BKFC has also granted registration rights to the
Treasury Department pursuant to which BKFC has agreed to lock-up periods prior to and following the effective date of an underwritten offering of the preferred stock, the warrant or the underlying common stock held by the Treasury Department, during
such time when BKFC would be unable to issue equity securities.

The Treasury Departments investment in BKFC may dilute earnings,
encumbers earnings to pay preferred dividends and requires BKFC to accrue the related discount through earnings.

Full
exercise of the warrant issued to the Treasury Department as part of the CPP will dilute BKFCs common shareholders by approximately 4.90%, based upon the approximately 5,612,607 shares of BKFCs common stock issued and outstanding as of
March 1, 2009. Should the market value of BKFCs common stock increase above the exercise price of $18.56 per common share prior to the exercise of the warrant, accounting rules will require additional shares to be included in the fully
diluted share count, and will effectively reduce reported diluted earnings per share to common shareholders. If the warrant is exercised, dividends would become payable with respect to the newly issued shares. Likewise, in a scenario in which
BKFCs management might prefer to repurchase the warrant, if the market price of the common stock is significantly above the exercise price of the warrant, the value of the warrant would rise with the market price of the common stock. In such a
scenario, a higher amount of cash would be needed to repurchase the warrant, reducing capital surplus. Furthermore, a scenario involving early redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Treasury Department will require the acceleration
of the associated discount through earnings available for common shareholders. If not redeemed by February 15, 2014, the annual dividend payments on the preferred stock will increase from 5.00% per annum to 9.00% per annum. If BKFC is
unable to redeem the preferred stock at or prior to February 15, 2014, then this higher dividend rate may be financially unattractive to BKFC relative to the cost of capital under the market conditions prevailing after that date.

In addition, BKFC is required by accounting rules to accrete the deemed discount on the preferred stock issued to the Treasury Department
through earnings available to common shareholders. The discount will accrete through February 15, 2012 at an amount of approximately $365,000 annually, reducing earnings available to common shareholders. If the preferred stock is redeemed early
by BKFC, accretion of the remaining discount will be accelerated through earnings available to common shareholders at that time.

Any
future FDIC premiums or special assessments will adversely impact our earnings.

On May 22, 2009, the FDIC adopted a
final rule levying a five basis point special assessment on each insured depository institutions assets minus Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009. BKFC recorded an expense of $601,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, to
reflect the special assessment. The final rule permits the FDIC to levy up to two additional special assessments of up to five basis points each during 2009 if the FDIC estimates that the DIF reserve ratio will fall to a level that the FDIC believes
would adversely affect public confidence or to a level that will be close to or below zero. Any further special assessments that the FDIC levies

will be recorded as an expense during the appropriate period. In addition, the FDIC increased the general assessment rate and, therefore, our FDIC general insurance premium expense will increase
compared to prior periods.

On November 12, 2009, the FDIC adopted regulations that require insured depository
institutions to prepay on December 30, 2009 their estimated assessments for the fourth calendar quarter of 2009, and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. The new regulations base the assessment rate for the fourth calendar quarter of 2009 and for
2010 on each institutions total base assessment rate for the third quarter of 2009, modified to assume that the assessment rate in effect on September 30, 2009 had been in effect for the entire third quarter, and the assessment rate
for 2011 and 2012 on the modified third quarter assessment base, adjusted quarterly for an estimated 5% annual growth rate in the assessment base through the end of 2012. Under the prepaid assessment rule, we were required to make a payment of
approximately $6.7 million to the FDIC on December 30, 2009, and to record the payment as a prepaid expense, which will be amortized to expense over three years.

BKFC
maintains its principal executive offices at 111 Lookout Farm Drive, Crestview Hills, Kentucky 41017, which is owned by BKFC. Of the 31 branch locations operated by the Bank, 17 are owned and 14 are leased. Certain of these leases are with
affiliates and affiliated entities. The Bank also leases space for its cash management operations center.

No one facility is
material to BKFC. Management believes that the facilities are generally in good condition and suitable for its banking operations. However, management continually looks for opportunities to upgrade its facilities and locations and may do so in the
future.



|Item 3. | Legal Proceedings
|------- | -----------------

From
time to time, BKFC and the Bank are involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of its business, but neither BKFC nor the Bank is presently involved in any lawsuit or proceeding which, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material
adverse affect on BKFC.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations

December 31, 2009

The objective of this section is to help shareholders and potential investors understand our views on our results of operations and financial condition. You
should read this discussion in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements that appear elsewhere in this report.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes forward-looking
statements by BKFC relating to such matters as anticipated operating results, credit quality expectations, prospects for new lines of business, technological developments, economic trends (including interest rates) and similar matters. Such
statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of BKFCs management and are subject to risks and uncertainties. While BKFC believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable,
any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and accordingly, actual results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed by BKFC in its forward-looking statements. Factors that could
cause actual results or experience to differ from results discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: economic conditions; volatility and direction of market interest rates; governmental legislation and regulation,
including changes in accounting regulations or standards; material unforeseen changes in the financial condition or results of operations of BKFCs customers; and other risks identified from time-to-time in BKFCs other public documents on
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described in Item 1A Risk Factors. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements, and the purpose of this
paragraph is to secure the use of the safe harbor provisions.

MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

The business of BKFC consists of holding and administering its interest in the Bank. The Bank conducts basic banking operations from locations in Boone,
Kenton, Campbell, Grant and Gallatin Counties in northern Kentucky and also in greater Cincinnati, Ohio. The majority of BKFCs revenue is derived from the Banks loan portfolio. The loan portfolio is diversified and the ability of
borrowers to repay their loans is not dependent upon any single industry. Commercial or residential real estate or other business and consumer assets secure the majority of the Banks loans.

The national economy in 2009 faced numerous challenging conditions. The economy was in recession and experienced rising unemployment, declining real estate
values and high volatility in the equity markets. As a result, consumer confidence and spending declined and asset values dropped. The capital and earnings levels of the nations banks fell, and over one hundred forty financial institutions
failed.

During 2009, BKFC participated in the Treasury Departments CPP program. Although the Bank and BKFCs capital ratios
exceeded the minimum levels required for it to be ranked well-capitalized, management decided to participate in the program. The Treasury Departments investment was received in February of 2009. Management decided to participate in the CPP
program to reinforce its strong capital position, advance the Treasury Departments efforts to facilitate additional lending in the markets in which the Bank operates, maintain its competitive advantage over its less well-capitalized
competitors, ensure sufficient capital to support future acquisitions and support its general operations. For additional information see Capital Purchase Program below.

Although BKFC experienced an increase in defaults and foreclosures in fiscal 2009, the levels have been significantly less than other regions of the country. This is due, in part, to the fact that
BKFCs market in northern Kentucky and Cincinnati did not experience as dramatic a rise in real estate values over the last several years as compared to markets in Florida and California. While BKFCs local markets have not been affected
as severely as other markets, with the majority of the loan portfolio being real estate related, management continues to closely monitor developments in the real estate market.

While the amount of resources devoted to the credit review function and working out problem loans increased significantly during 2009, BKFC did not make significant changes to its loan underwriting
standards. BKFCs willingness to make loans to qualified applicants that meet its traditional, prudent lending standards has not changed.

##### Table of Contents

As discussed above, the biggest factor affecting the 2009 financial results was the current deep economic
recession facing the country and the region. Particularly, high unemployment and falling real estate values have placed significant economic strain on a majority of the Banks business partners. The Banks loan portfolio has been most
significantly affected by economic conditions. The credit quality metrics of the Banks loan portfolio in 2009 showed the strain of these economic conditions, with charge offs and nonperforming loans more than doubling. Charge-offs increased
from $3,445,000 in 2008 to $7,582,000 in 2009 while nonperforming loans rose from $9,561,000 at the end of 2008 to $25,562,000 at the end of 2009. These falling credit quality metrics led the Bank to provide $12,825,000 in the provision for loans
losses in 2009 versus $4,850,000 in 2008. As a result the allowance for loan losses rose from $9,910,000 at December 31, 2008 to $15,153,000 at December 31, 2009 to be directionally consistent with the economic strains on the loan
portfolio. Management sees these economic strains continuing into 2010 and expects continuing higher than normal credit losses and provisioning expense in the foreseeable future.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank did experience in 2009 significant balance sheet growth and a growing customer base, leading to an increase in total revenue from $55,430,000 in 2008 to $61,409,000
in 2009, which management viewed as a success given the current economic conditions. Overhead expense remained relatively stable, despite a significant increase in FDIC insurance expense. This revenue increase included a $4,131,000 or 10%, increase
in net interest income and a $1,848,000 or 13%, increase in non-interest income. Excluding the $1,643,000 or 215%, increase in FDIC insurance, total non-interest expense increased only $811,000 or 2% from 2008 to 2009.

As discussed above, in 2009 the Bank participated in the CPP, and accepted a $34,000,000 investment in the Bank. BKFC chose to participate in the CPP in
order to reinforce its strong capital position, advance the Treasury Departments efforts to facilitate additional lending in the markets in which the Bank operates, maintain its competitive advantage over its less well-capitalized competitors,
ensure sufficient capital to support future acquisitions and support its general operations. Participation in this program was encouraged by our main regulators. See Capital Purchase Program below for additional details.

The Bank also completed two acquisitions in 2009. On December 11, 2009, the Bank completed the purchase of three banking offices of Integra Bank and a
portfolio of selected commercial loans originated by Integra Banks Covington, Kentucky loan production office. This acquisition was consistent with the Banks strategy to strengthen and expand its northern Kentucky market share. On
December 31, 2009, the Bank completed the purchase of Tapke Asset Management, LLC, an independent investment advisory firm, headquartered in Fort Wright, Kentucky. This acquisition was consistent with the Banks strategy to strengthen and
grow the Trust Department revenue, diversify the Banks revenues and to give the Banks current customers access to more products and services backed by a team of investment professionals. (Please see Note 6 of the financial statements for
more detail on these acquisitions)

The following sections provide more detail on subjects presented in the overview.

CAPITAL PURCHASE PROGRAM

On February 13, 2009, BKFC entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Treasury Department under the CPP, pursuant to which BKFC agreed to issue 34,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, for a total price of $34 million. The Series A
Preferred Stock pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years and thereafter at a rate of 9% per year.

The Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrant were issued in a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. BKFC is further required pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement
to register the resale of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrant and the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the Warrant with the SEC. The Warrant has been exercisable since February 13, 2009, its date of issuance

BKFC chose to participate in the CPP in order to reinforce its strong capital position, advance the Treasury Departments efforts to facilitate
additional lending in the markets in which the Bank operates, maintain its competitive advantage over its less well-capitalized competitors, ensure sufficient capital to support future acquisitions and support its general operations. BKFCs
decision to participate in the CPP was also affected by

discussions with its regulators, including the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. In light of the turmoil in the banking sector, uncertainty as to government action in the future
with respect to risk-based capital guidelines, as well as the general economy as a whole, BKFC elected to request the maximum amount available for investment by the Treasury Department under the CPP (3% of the Banks risk-weighted assets) for
the reasons described above. At present BKFC is considering all alternatives associated with raising additional capital necessary to support a repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock, which management may consider undertaking at some point during
2010, depending on market conditions and after further discussion with BKFC and the Banks regulators.

Use of Capital

The CPP funds have not been segregated from BKFCs other funds, and thus those funds cannot be directly traced through BKFCs balance sheet.

Based on analysis of the market conditions at the time of issuance, BKFC determined that the proceeds of the Treasury Departments
investment in its Series A Preferred Stock initially would be best deployed in U.S. government agency MBS until loan demand improved. BKFC retained $9 million of the proceeds to extinguish short term debt and further augment its capital position,
and invested the remaining $25 million in the Bank. In turn, the Bank invested the $25 million of the proceeds, along with other funds obtained, to leverage the CPP investment, in MBS pending deployment in more permanent uses such as for
acquisitions and to support loan growth. With these investments, BKFC provided incremental liquidity to the residential mortgage markets and at the same time obtained products that generate cash flow. BKFC is holding the MBS assets on its balance
sheet as available for sale. BKFC intends to utilize its cash flows, including those derived from its MBS investments and the proceeds of any sale or disposition of its MBS investments, to fund commercial and residential loans that meet BKFCs
long-standing prudent lending standards as the demand for high-quality loans rises in the markets it serves and otherwise support its business.

BKFC is committed to making credit available to the markets it serves and fulfilling the needs of its customers. To ensure that all lending growth opportunities are addressed, the Bank in 2008 implemented a new loan committee structure,
adding the Banks Chief Executive Officer to the Banks loan committee to further scrutinize credit decisions. Additionally, the Bank established a problem-asset workout group in 2009. In addition to managing distressed assets, this group
provides advice and support for the Banks lending professionals with respect to those relationships that are showing signs of stress, but have not elevated to the point of transfer to workout, to address the needs of existing clients. In
certain sectors, such as commercial lending, loan demand has diminished, consistent with the overall economy, as customers have taken a conservative direction and postponed investments. Conversely, residential mortgage activity increased in 2009 in
response to favorable interest rates and new government agency programs. While the CPP funds have not been segregated, and this increased lending is not directly traceable in a dollar-for-dollar manner to the CPP, the CPP investment has strengthened
BKFCs balance sheet and capital position.

In addition, BKFC has not experienced the level of stress or deterioration in its residential
real estate portfolio that other financial institutions may be experiencing, and the Bank has not created or marketed to its customers any sub-prime loan products, does not service mortgages for other institutions and otherwise follows a strategy in
selling the majority of the Banks residential loans into the secondary market. In the majority of situations, the Bank follows the underwriting guidelines of the various government agencies on loans the Bank seeks to portfolio. For the year
ended December 31, 2009, the Banks residential real estate loan production was $144.5 million. Of this, sold loans totaled $122.1 million, while portfolio and construction loans totaled $8.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively. The
average balance of amortizing portfolio loans during 2009 was $109 million as compared to $102.4 million in 2008. Residential real estate charge-offs in this portfolio in 2009 and 2008 were .58% and .39% respectively. Delinquencies have been
moderate, and non-accruals were $2.78 million as of December 31, 2009 versus $83.4 million outstanding (amortizing portfolio loan balances), or 3.36%. The Bank had 17 residential loans on non-accrual as of December 31, 2009, with two of
those loans totaling $1.4 million, or 50% of aggregate non-accrual loan balances. These statistics are a result of the Banks underwriting and collection practices. The Bank has also added full time equivalent resources to its collections
department, allowing the Bank to make more frequent and earlier collection calls, resulting in better working relationships with those borrowers who may have difficulty in making timely payments.

Effects of CPP Participation

The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock provide that, in the event BKFC defaults on the payment of dividends due on the Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate of six quarters or more, the board of
directors of BKFC shall be automatically increased by two positions, and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect two directors to fill those positions. BKFC did not need to amend its bylaws to increase the maximum
size of the board of directors in order to accommodate an election of those two directors. BKFC did not have any other senior class of securities outstanding at the time it entered into the Purchase Agreement.

With respect to BKFCs day-to-day operations, participation in the CPP heightened the focus on originating new loans that meet the Banks prudent
lending standards and strengthened BKFCs capital ratios. For example, at December 1, 2008 (prior to the CPP transaction), BKFCs ratios of Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets, Tier 1 Capital to Risk Weighted Assets and Tier 1
Capital to Average Assets were 10.73%, 8.19% and 7.96%, respectively, and at March 31, 2009 (following the February 13, 2009 CPP transaction) the BKFCs ratios of Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets, Tier 1 Capital to Risk Weighted
Assets and Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets were 13.57%, 11.01% and 11.05%, respectively. However, it should be noted that, prior to BKFCs participation in the CPP, both it and the Bank were well-capitalized. At December 31, 2009, each of
the Banks ratios of Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets, Tier 1 Capital to Risk Weighted Assets and Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets exceeded the respective ratios of 10.00%, 6.00% and 5.00%, which are the minimum ratios of regulatory
capital required to be well-capitalized.

BKFCs participation in the CPP has affected the income available to common stockholders in two
ways: (i) BKFC agreed in the Purchase Agreement to not pay any dividend on the common stock prior to February 13, 2012 other than regular quarterly cash dividends of not more than $0.28 per share of common stock, and (ii) the dividend
payments which are due on the Series A Preferred Stock have the effect of reducing the net income otherwise available to the common stockholders. The terms of the Purchase Agreement prohibit repurchases of common stock (although there was no intent,
at the time of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, for BKFC to buy back or otherwise repurchase any of its common stock).

BKFC has
complied and will continue to comply with the executive compensation and corporate governance requirements of each of the EESA, the ARRA and any subsequent legislation, regulations or guidance for so long as the Series A Preferred Stock or any other
security acquired under the Purchase Agreement is held by the Treasury Department. As required by the EESA and ARRA, BKFC will further limit the Section 162(m) tax deduction for executive compensation to $500,000 per year for any senior
executive officer for so long as the Series A Preferred Stock or any other security acquired under the Purchase Agreement is held by the Treasury Department.

An executive compensation risk assessment was performed by BKFCs senior risk officers. Based on the materials reviewed, BKFCs senior risk officers concluded that the executive compensation and
incentive program as then in effect did not encourage the senior executive officers to take unnecessary and excessive risks. The findings of this risk assessment were presented to the Compensation Committee of the Board and final conclusions were
provided to the full Board. A certification statement will be included within the Compensation Committee Report of the BKFC 2010 Proxy Statement. This risk assessment will occur each year in which the Series A Preferred Stock or any other security
acquired under the Purchase Agreement is held by the Treasury Department. In addition, the compensation committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors, will discuss BKFCs compensation arrangements in light of such risk
assessment at least semi-annually for so long as the Series A Preferred Stock or any other security acquired under the Securities Purchase Agreement is held by the Treasury Department. BKFCs 2010 Proxy Statement will permit a nonbinding
shareholder vote to provide advisory approval of the compensation of BKFCs executives.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BKFC has prepared all of the consolidated financial information in this report in accordance with GAAP. In preparing the consolidated
financial statements in accordance with GAAP, BKFC makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurances that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

We have identified the accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses as critical to the
understanding of BKFCs results of operations, since the application of this policy requires significant management assumptions and estimates that could result in reporting materially different amounts if conditions or underlying circumstances
were to change.

The Bank maintains an allowance to absorb probable, incurred loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for
loan losses is maintained at a level the Bank considers to be adequate and is based on ongoing quarterly assessments and evaluations of the collectability and historical loss experience of loans. Loan losses are charged and recoveries are credited
to the allowance for loan losses. Provisions for loan losses are based on the Banks review of its historical loan loss experience and such factors that, in managements judgment, deserve consideration under existing economic conditions in
estimating probable loan losses. The Banks strategy for credit risk management includes a combination of well-defined credit policies, uniform underwriting criteria, and ongoing risk monitoring and review processes for all commercial and
consumer credit exposures. The credit risk management strategy also includes assessments of compliance with commercial and consumer policies, risk ratings and other important credit information. The strategy also emphasizes regular credit
examinations and management reviews of loans exhibiting deterioration in credit quality. The Bank strives to identify potential problem loans early and promptly undertake the appropriate actions necessary to mitigate or eliminate the increasing risk
identified in these loans.

The allowance for loan losses consists of two components, the specific reserve, pursuant to ASC 310, Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and the general reserve, pursuant to ASC 450-10, Accounting for Contingencies. Impaired loans are those that management has determined it is probable the customer will be unable to comply with the
contractual terms of the loan. The specific reserve component is an estimate of loss based upon an impairment review of larger loans that are considered impaired. The general reserve includes an estimate of commercial and consumer loans with similar
characteristics. Depending on the set of facts, the bank utilizes one of the three following methods for determining the proper impairment of a loan:



| |  |  | The present value of expected future cash flows of a loan;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The market price of the loan based upon readily available information for that type of loan; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Fair value of collateral
| | - |  | ------------------------

The allowance established for impaired loans is generally based, for all collateral-dependent loans, on the fair market value of the collateral, less estimated cost to liquidate. For non-collateral dependent loans (such as accruing troubled
debt restructurings), the allowance is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted by the loans effective interest rate. A small portion of the banks loans which are included in the ASC 310 component carry no
specific reserve allocation. These loans were reviewed for impairment and considered adequately collateralized with respect to their respective outstanding principal loan balance. The majority of these loans are loans which have had their respective
impairment (or reserve) amounts charged off, or are loans related to other impaired loans which continue to have a specific reserve allocation. It is the Banks practice to maintain these impaired loans, as analyzed and provided for in the ASC
310 component of the allowance for loan losses, to avoid double counting of any estimated losses that may have been included in the ASC 450-10 component of the allowance for loan losses.

Generally, the Bank orders a new or updated appraisal on real estate properties which are subject to an impairment review. Upon completion of the impairment review, loan reserves are increased as
warranted. Charge-offs, if necessary, are generally recognized in a period after the reserves were established. Adjustments to new or updated appraisal values are not typical, but in those cases when an adjustment is necessary it is documented with
supporting information and is typically an adjustment to decrease the propertys value because of additional information obtained concerning the property after the appraisal or update has been received by the Bank. The Banks practice is
to obtain new or updated appraisals on the loans subject to impairment review. If a new or updated appraisal is not available at the time of a loans impairment review, the Bank typically applies a discount to the value of an old appraisal to
reflect the propertys current estimated value if there is believed to be deterioration in either (i) the physical or economic aspects of the subject property or (ii) any market conditions. Loans secured by a 1 to 4 family residential
property with small to moderate value, are generally valued utilizing a brokers opinion of value (BPO). Generally, an as is value is utilized in most of the Banks real estate based impairment analyses.

##### Table of Contents

However, under certain limited circumstances an as stabilized valuation may be utilized, provided that the as stabilized value is tied to a well-justified action plan to
bring the real estate project to a stabilized occupancy under a reasonable period of time.

If a partially charged-off loan has been
restructured in a manner that is reasonably assured of repayment and performance according to prudently modified terms, and has sustained historical payment performance for a reasonable period of time prior to and/or after the restructuring, it may
be returned to accrual status and is classified as a troubled debt restructured (TDR) loan. However, if the above conditions can not be reasonably met, the loan remains on non-accrual status.

In addition, the Bank evaluates the collectability of both principal and interest when assessing the need for loans being placed on non-accrual status. A
loan is generally placed on non-accrual status if: (i) it becomes 90 days or more past due (120 days past due for consumer loans); or (ii) for which payment in full of both principal and interest can not be reasonably expected.

Historical loss rates are applied to other commercial loans not subject to specific reserve allocations. The loss rates applied to commercial loans are
derived from analyzing a range of the loss experience sustained on loans according to their internal risk grade. These loss rates may be adjusted to account for environmental factors if warranted. The general reserve also includes homogeneous loans,
such as consumer installment, residential mortgage and home equity loans that are not individually risk graded. Rather, a range of historic loss experience of the portfolio is used to determine the appropriate allowance for the portfolios.
Allocations for the allowance are established for each pool of loans based on the expected net charge-offs for one year.

A high and low range
of reserve percentages is calculated to recognize the imprecision in estimating and measuring loss when evaluating reserves for pools of loans. The position of the allowance for loan losses within the computed range may be adjusted for significant
factors that, in managements judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions of credit quality. Factors that management considers in this analysis include the effects of the local economy, trends in the nature and volume of loans
(delinquencies, charge-offs and nonaccrual loans), changes in mix of loans, asset quality trends, risk management and loan administration, changes in the internal lending policies and credit standards, and examination results from bank regulatory
agencies and internal review by the credit department.

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.

Charge-offs
are recognized when it becomes evident that a loan or a portion of a loan is deemed uncollectible regardless of its delinquent status. The Bank generally charges off that portion of a loan that is determined to be unsupported by an obligors
continued ability to repay the loan from income and/or assets, both pledged and unpledged as collateral.

FINANCIAL
CONDITION

Driving the changes to the BKFC balance sheet from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009 was the strong deposit
growth experienced throughout 2009, BKFCs participation in the CPP and the Integra Bank acquisition. Total deposits increased $272,119,000 or 25% from the end of 2008 to the end of 2009. Excluding the deposits added with the Integra Bank
acquisition, organic growth in deposits was approximately $196,000,000 or an 18% increase from 2008. As discussed above, the CPP added approximately $34,000,000 to capital, while the total Integra Bank transactions added approximately $76,000,000 in
deposits and $107,000,000 in loans to the balance sheet in 2009. As a result of these changes the Banks total assets increased $309,616,000 or 25% from $1,255,382,000 at December 31, 2008 to $1,564,998,000 at December 31, 2009.

On the asset side of the balance sheet, the strong deposit growth and the funding from the CPP outpaced quality loan demand and as a result
both available for sale securities and short term investments grew significantly from December of 2008 to December of 2009. In 2009, available-for-sale securities increased $98,358,000 or 115% from 2008 while short term investments increased
$57,806,000 from $501,000 at December 31, 2008 to $58,307,000 at December 31, 2009. The increase in available for sale securities consisted of purchases of

##### Table of Contents

government sponsored agency bonds and government agency MBS. The increase in short term investments was related to higher federal funds sold to other financial institutions. In 2009, total loans
increased $128,427,000 or 13%, of which approximately $107,000,000 were acquired in the transactions with Integra Bank. While the Bank continues to experience decreased levels of new and renewed residential real estate, commercial and consumer loans
originated as a result of the current economic recession, the Company has experienced organic loan growth, approximately $27,000,000 outside of the Integra Bank transactions, as a result of the level of lending outpacing the Banks runoff rate.
While management expects continued decreases in new and renewed loan origination, the Bank intends to continue to work to make loans that meet its longstanding prudent lending standards. The total growth in loans was distributed between commercial,
commercial real estate, residential real estate in 2009, with increases of $48,216,000 (28%), $47,230,000 (11%), and $28,128,000 (12%), respectively.

The largest increase in deposits came from NOW (negotiable orders of withdrawal) accounts, which increased $100,599,000, or 38%, from 2008. The Banks NOW accounts include public fund accounts which increased $99,238,000 or 50% from
2008. Public funds are deposits of local municipalities, schools and other public entities. These public fund balances are collateralized with BKFCs security portfolio and letter of credit guarantees from the FHLB.

Other changes on the asset side of the balance sheet at December 31, 2009 relative to December 31, 2008, included a $9,175,000 (52%) increase
in goodwill and acquisition intangibles as a result of the Integra Bank and Tapke Asset Management acquisitions and a $9,959,000 increase in other assets, which was driven by the $6,694,000 prepaid FDIC assessment paid in December of 2009. Other
changes to liabilities included a decrease of $6,484,000 (23%) in short-term borrowings and an increase in other liabilities of $4,313,000 (44%). Contributing to decrease in short-term borrowings was the payoff of a $4,400,000 revolving line of
credit at the holding company. The increase in other liabilities was the result of a final settlement due to Integra Bank for the acquisition of $3,394,000 that was paid in January of 2010. Total shareholders equity increased $39,685,000
(39%) to $141,133,000 at December 31, 2009, compared to $101,448,000 at December 31, 2008. The CPP investment contributed approximately $34,000,000 to the increase in shareholders equity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary

2009 vs. 2008. Driven by higher loan loss provisions, the net income available to common shareholders decreased 39% from 2008 from $11,341,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, to $6,968,000 for
the year ended December 31, 2009. Net income available to common shareholders was also reduced in 2009 by $1,792,000 due to dividends and discount amortization from the preferred stock issued to the Treasury Department in the CPP, these
preferred shares were not outstanding in 2008 and therefore had no impact on 2008.

The provision for loan losses rose by 164% in 2009, from
$4,850,000 in 2008 to $12,825,000 in 2009 and was partially offset with increases of $4,131,000 or 10% in net interest income and $1,848,000 or 13% in non-interest income from 2008 to 2009. As discussed above, the provision reflected the current
economic conditions that has put significant strains on the loan portfolio in 2009. These strains showed in the net charge offs that increased from $3,445,000 (.35% of average loans) in net charge-offs in 2008 to $7,582,000 (.71% of average loans)
in 2009, and in non performing loans that were $9,561,000 or .93% of loans at December 31, 2008 versus $25,562,000 or 2.21% of loans at December 31, 2009. The growth in net interest income was driven by the balance sheet growth discussed
above and included a $138,193,000 or 12% growth in average earning assets for the year, $84,842,000 in loans and $46,830,000 in available for sale securities. The increase in non-interest income included $728,000 in gains on the sale of securities
and a $566,000 or 60% increase in mortgage banking income. While other financial institutions were hampered by securities losses and other than temporary impairment charges in their securities portfolio, the Bank took advantage of the low interest
rate environment and sold $35,611,000 in government sponsored agency bonds for a gain of $728,000. The low interest rate environment also led to the increase in mortgage banking income as the demand by homeowners to refinance their existing loans to
lower rates remained high throughout the year.

2008 vs. 2007. Our net income was $11,341,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008,
compared to $11,131,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $210,000 (2%). The growth in earnings from

##### Table of Contents

2007 to 2008 was driven by increases in net interest income of $3,426,000 (9%) and non-interest income of $725,000 (5%), and was offset a higher provision for loan losses of $3,275,000
(208%) and by an increase in non-interest expense of $504,000 (1%). The growth in the net interest income was driven by the strong loan growth and was complemented with a small increase in the net interest margin which increased from 3.66% in
2007 to 3.68% in 2008. Contributing to the increase in the provision for loan losses were higher levels of charge-offs in 2008 as compared to 2007, and managements concerns over the declining housing market and overall deteriorating economic
conditions. BKFC recorded $3,445,000 (.35% of average loans) in net charge-offs in 2008 as compared to $998,000 (.11% of average loans) in 2007.

Net Interest Income

2009 vs. 2008. Net interest income grew to $44,793,000 in 2009, an increase of $4,131,000 (10%), over the
$40,662,000 earned in 2008. As discussed above, the increase was driven by the growth in earning assets. As illustrated in Table 3, net interest income was positively impacted by the volume additions to the balance sheet by $4,811,000. While
the decline in interest rates has been dramatic over the last three years as a result of the deep economic recession, the effect on the net interest margin of the Bank has been nominal. This is a result of the conservative interest rate risk
management program of the Bank that seeks to minimize the risk to earnings in both a falling or rising interest rate environment. As illustrated in Table 2, the net interest margin has remained within four basis points over the last three
years, 3.64%, 3.68%, and 3.66% in 2009, 2008 and 2007 respectively. Also illustrated in Table 2, this risk management position is reflected in the small change in the interest rate spread, increasing 8 basis points in 2009 versus 2008 despite
the significant drop in both the yield on earning assets and interest cost of interest bearing liabilities. In 2009, total average earning assets increased $138,193,000 or 12% with the growth in 2009 divided between loans which increase $84,842,000
or 9% and securities which increase $46,830,000 or 43%. As discussed in the financial condition section to this report, this growth was funded by strong deposit growth and the addition of CPP funds. Despite an extremely volatile interest rate
environment, BKFCs net interest spread increased from 3.28% in 2008 to 3.36% in 2009, which was offset by a reduction in the effects of free funds which decreased from .40% in 2008 to .28% in 2009. The effects of this rate environment are
demonstrated in Table 2, where the yields on interest earning assets decreased by 112 basis points from 6.19% in 2008 to 5.07% in 2009, while the cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 120 basis points from 2.91% in 2008 to 1.71% in
2009. While BKFC benefited from falling rates in 2009, if rates continue to fall in 2010 the effects on the Bank will be negative, as shown and explained in the asset/liability management and market risk section of this report.

2008 vs. 2007. Net interest income grew to $40,662,000 in 2008, an increase of $3,426,000 (9%), over the $37,236,000 earned in 2007. The increase was driven
by the growth in earning assets. As illustrated in Table 3, net interest income was positively impacted by the volume additions to the balance sheet by $3,582,000 and to a much smaller extent by the rate variance, which had a $54,000 decrease
impact on net interest income. Driving the balance sheet growth was loans which accounted for 107% of the growth in average earning assets in 2008. In 2008, total average earning assets increased $91,633,000 or 9% while average loans increased
$98,151,000 or 11%. Accounting for the difference between growth in earning assets and the growth in loans was a decrease in lower yielding short-term investments, particularly federal funds sold which were down on average $17,182,000 or 43% from
2007. As seen in Table 3, this favorable mix of earning asset growth contributed to the 16 basis point increase in the net interest spread, from 3.12 in 2007, to 3.28 in 2008. Despite an extremely volatile interest rate environment, BKFCs net
interest income increased from 3.66% in 2007 to 3.68% in 2008. The effects of this rate environment are demonstrated in Table 2, where the yields on interest earning assets decreased by 121 basis points from 7.40% in 2008 to 6.19% in 2009,
while the cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 137 basis points from 4.28% in 2007 to 2.91% in 2008.

Average Yield. The below table
illustrates the Banks average balance sheet information and reflects the average yield on interest-earning assets, on a tax equivalent basis, and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs
are derived by dividing income or expense by the average monthly balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the years presented. Average balances are daily averages for the Bank and include nonaccruing
loans in the loan portfolio, net of the allowance for loan losses.

##### Table of Contents

Volume/Rate Analysis. The below table illustrates the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes
in volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected the Banks interest income and expense during the periods indicated. 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 changes in rate and volume. The
combined effects of changes in both volume and rate, which cannot be separately identified, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Provision for Loan Losses

Like many other
financial institutions, the Bank was significantly affected by the national economic recession. While the Bank experienced an increase in defaults and foreclosures in fiscal year 2008 and 2009, the levels of such activity has been significantly less
than other regions in the country due, in part, to the fact that the Banks market in the northern Kentucky and greater Cincinnati area did not experience as dramatic a rise in real estate values over the last several years as other markets.

Management believes that with the continuing economic uncertainty, high unemployment rates and falling real estate values, negative trends in
credit metrics and the resulting pressure on earnings will remain above historical levels. This will include continuing higher levels of charge offs in the loan portfolio, and as a result, higher provisions for loan losses and a higher reserve for
loan losses on the balance sheet. Higher provisions will lead to lower earnings and slower capital growth. Management also believes that the current economic conditions will lead to lower demand for loans within all loan types, specifically, real
estate related requests.

2009 vs. 2008. As discussed above and in the management overview, the provision for loan losses reflected the
current deep economic recession facing the country and the region. The provision for loan losses was $12,825,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $4,850,000 for 2008. The increase of $7,975,000 (164%) reflected an increase
in the level of charge-offs and nonperforming loans in 2009 and managements continuing concerns of the effect that the current economic recession will have on the Banks loan customers. For

the year ended December 31, 2009, net charge-offs were $7,582,000 or .71% of average loan balances compared to 2008 figures of $3,445,000 or .35% of average loan balances. As illustrated in
Table 5 below, total non-accrual loans plus loans past due 90 days or more were $25,562,000 (2.21% of loans outstanding) at December 31, 2009, compared to $9,561,000 (.93% of loans outstanding) at December 31, 2008.
Managements evaluation of the inherent risk in the loan portfolio considers both historic losses and information regarding specific borrowers. Management continues to monitor the non-performing relationships and has established appropriate
reserves.

Non-performing assets, which include non-performing loans, other real estate owned and repossessed assets, totaled $26,943,000 at
December 31, 2009 and $10,273,000 at December 31, 2008. This represents 1.72% of total assets at December 31, 2009 compared to .82% at December 31, 2008.

Accruing Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs). In certain circumstances, the Bank may modify the terms of a loan to maximize the collection of amounts due. In cases where the borrower is experiencing
financial difficulties or is expected to experience difficulties in the near-term, concessionary modification is granted to minimize or eliminate the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. Modifications may include
interest rate reductions, extension of the maturity date or a reduction in the principal balance. Restructured loans accrue interest as long as the borrower complies with the revised terms. Total accruing TDRs were $3,568,000 at December 31,
2009 versus $575,000 at December 31, 2008. The Bank expects increases in TDRs as the Bank works with relationships that show signs of stress, in order to proactively manage and resolve problem loans.

2008 vs. 2007. The provision for loan losses was $4,850,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $1,575,000 for 2007. The increase of
$3,275,000 (208%), reflected an increase in loans chargedoff in 2008, and managements continuing concerns over the deteriorating economic conditions. For the year ended December 31, 2008, net charge-offs were $3,445,000 or .35% of
average loan balances compared to 2007 figures of $998,000 or .11% of average loan balances. Total non-accrual loans plus loans past due 90 days or more were $9,561,000 (.93% of loans outstanding) at December 31, 2008, compared to $9,047,000
(.95% of loans outstanding) at December 31, 2007. Managements evaluation of the inherent risk in the loan portfolio considers both historic losses and information regarding specific borrowers. The increase in the loan loss allowance to
total loans ratio, from .90% at December 31, 2007 to .97% at December 31, 2008, was due to increasing historical loss ratios and current economic conditions. Management continues to monitor the non-performing relationships and has
established appropriate reserves.

Non-performing assets totaled $10,273,000 at December 31, 2008 and $13,164,000 at December 31,
2007. This represents .82% of total assets at December 31, 2008 compared to 1.07% at December 31, 2007. Contributing to the decrease was the sale in December of 2008 of the largest property included in the other real estate owned at
December 31, 2007, which was a repossessed commercial office building that was sold for $2,617,000.

Allowance for Loan Losses
(ALL). The increase in the ALL was directionally consistent in 2009 with the deteriorating credit metrics and the current economic recession. The ALL increased 53%, from $9,910,000 at December 13, 2008 to $15,153,000 at
December 31, 2009, which increased the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans from .97% at December 31, 2008, to 1.31% at December 31, 2009. The amount of the allowance allocated to impaired loans at year end 2009
was $5,916,000, which was up 73% from the $3,432,000 at year end 2008. The impairment process is described in the critical accounting policies section of this report. Contributing to both the increase in charge-offs in 2009 and the increase in the
allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired loans was the significant decrease in real estate values experienced in the current economic recession. Management believes the current level of the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb
probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. Management continues to monitor the loan portfolio closely and believes the provision for loan losses is directionally consistent with the changes in the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio
from 2008 to 2009. The Bank does not originate or purchase sub-prime loans for its portfolio. Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effects of the slumping housing market conditions and any signs of further deterioration in credit
quality on the Banks loan portfolio. Management believes these economic strains will continue into 2010 and expects continuing higher than normal credit losses and provisioning expense in the foreseeable future.

Monitoring loan quality and maintaining an adequate allowance is an ongoing process overseen by senior management and the loan review function. On at least
a quarterly basis, a formal analysis of the adequacy of the allowance is prepared and reviewed by management and the Board of Directors. This analysis serves as a point in time assessment of the level of the allowance and serves as a basis for
provisions for loan losses. The loan quality monitoring process includes assigning loan grades and the use of a watch list to identify loans of concern.

2009 vs. 2008. The lower rates associated with the current economic cycle contributed to the $1,848,000 or 13%
increase in non-interest income in 2009 from $14,768,000 in 2008 to $16,616,000 in 2009. Mortgage banking income increased $566,000 or 60% from 2008 to 2009 as attractive rates on fixed rate residential mortgage loans led to a significant increase
in the refinancing market. Also, lower interest rates led to higher values of the Banks security portfolio and allowed the Bank to sell $35,611,000 of available for sale securities for a $728,000 gain. The Banks available for sale
security portfolio is made up of high quality government sponsored agency bonds which are implicitly guaranteed by the Treasury Department and therefore their credit quality was not negatively affected by the current economic recession. Other
increases for 2009 included service charges and fees (up $238,000, or 3%),

##### Table of Contents

bankcard transaction revenue (up $301,000, or 16%), and company owned life insurance earnings (up $129,000, or 16%). Contributing to the increase in company owned life insurance was the purchase
of $2,000,000 in additional policies in 2009. The losses on the sale of other real estate owned included a loss of $462,000 on one property in the third quarter of 2009. Contributing to the increase in service charges and fees were the continued
growth in cash management products which offset a $209,000 or 4% decrease in overdraft charges. Management expects overdraft charges to decrease significantly in the second half of 2010 as a result of recently enacted banking regulations limiting
fees charged on overdrafts initiated by electronic transactions.

The increase in bankcard transaction revenue reflects consumers continued
acceptance of electronic forms of payment and the resulting growth in usage of the Banks debit and credit card products.

2008 vs. 2007.
Total non-interest income increased $725,000 (5%) in 2008 from $14,043,000 in 2007 to $14,768,000 in 2008. Increases for 2008 included service charges and fees (up $675,000, or 8%), and bankcard transaction revenue (up $298,000, or 18%), which
was partially offset by a decrease in other non-interest income (down $265,000, or 15%). Contributing to the decrease in other non-interest income was a $276,000 decrease in loan servicing revenue. This servicing revenue relates to the small
business association loans, the balances of which dropped significantly from 2007. Contributing to the increase in service charges and fees were the continued growth in cash management products.

2009 vs. 2008. The largest increase in non-interest expense in 2009 was the FDIC insurance expense, which
increased $1,643,000 or 215% from 2008. Higher numbers of bank failures in 2009, brought on by the current economic recession, forced the FDIC to replenish its reserve for bank failures and as a result it more than doubled the assessment it charged
banks in 2009 as compared to 2008. In total, non-interest expense increased $2,454,000 (7%), to $36,677,000 for 2009, compared to $34,223,000 for 2008. The largest overhead expense in BKFC is salaries and benefits which account for 44% of the total
non-interest expense and decreased $246,000 or 2% from 2008. For 2009, the bonus and profit sharing expense decreased $139,000 (49%) from 2008. As in 2008, no bonuses were paid to the senior management of the Bank. The increase in advertising
was the result of a full year of amortization of the naming rights for the Bank of Kentucky Center at Northern Kentucky University and the Bank of Kentucky Field at Thomas More College, as these naming rights increased $227,000 or 200% from 2008.
The increase of $232,000 in data processing was the result of the increasing number of items processed as a result of the Banks growing deposit base and overall activity. As a result of the current economic conditions facing the banking
industry, management expects continued high FDIC insurance expense for the foreseeable future (see the prepaid insurance information in Note 1 of the financial statements). Management also expects most expense

categories, including salaries and benefits, to increase at a higher rate in 2010 as compared to 2009 as a result of the full year effect of the Integra Bank and Tapke Assessment management
acquisitions closed in the fourth quarter of 2009 (see Note 6 of the financial statements for more details on acquisitions).

2008 vs. 2007.
Non-interest expense increased $504,000 (1%), to $34,223,000 for 2008, compared to $33,719,000 for 2007. The largest increase in non-interest expense was in FDIC insurance, which increased $611,000 (399%), in 2008 compared to 2007, which was
partially offset with a decrease in other expenses. The increase in FDIC insurance was the result of the FDIC increasing the deposit assessment rate charged to banks in 2007. The majority of the FDIC insurance cost in 2007 was offset with a one-time
credit that the FDIC passed to financial institutions for the institutions previous contributions to the FDIC insurance fund. Other expenses in 2008 included a decrease of $677,000 in expenses associated with other real estate owned properties from
$866,000 in 2007 to $189,000 in 2008. The majority of this expense was the result of certain improvements made to a repossessed commercial office building in 2007. The largest overhead expense in BKFC is salaries and benefits which accounts for 48%
of the total non-interest expense. In 2008, total salaries and benefits decreased $17,000 from 2007 primarily as a result of lower bonus and profit sharing expense, which were off-set by normal annual salary adjustments. For 2008, the bonus and
profit sharing expense decreased $823,000 (75%), from 2007. The decreases in these incentive plans cost was the result of BKFC not meeting certain financial goals. The increase of $188,000 in amortization of intangible assets for 2008 was the result
of the First Bank acquisition in mid-year 2007.

Tax Expense

2009 vs. 2008. As a result of lower income before taxes, the federal income tax expense decreased $1,869,000 (37%) to $3,147,000 for 2009 compared to $5,016,000 for 2008. The effective tax rate was
26.4% for 2009, which was a decrease of 4.3% from 30.7% in 2008. The decrease in effective tax rate is a result of income before taxes decreasing by 27%, while tax exempt income increased by 49%.

2008 vs. 2007. Federal income tax expense increased $162,000 (3%) to $5,016,000 for 2008 compared to $4,854,000 for 2007. The effective tax rate was
30.7% for 2008, which was an increase of .3% from 30.4% in 2007. Contributing to the increase in the effective tax rate was the $100,000 historic tax credit realized in 2007.

In order to meet the financing needs of its customers, the Bank is also a party to certain financial
instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate
risk in excess of the amounts recognized in BKFCs consolidated balance sheets. Table 9 presents, as of December 31, 2009, the Banks significant off-balance sheet commitments.

Unused lines of credit
and loan commitments assure a borrower of financing for a specified period of time at a specified rate. The risk to the Bank under such commitments is limited to the terms of the contracts. For example, the Bank may not be obligated to advance funds
if the customers financial condition deteriorates or if the customer fails to meet specific covenants. An approved, but unfunded, loan commitment represents a potential credit risk once the funds are advanced to the customer. The unused lines
of credit and loan commitments also represent a future cash requirement, but this cash requirement will be limited since many commitments are expected to expire or only be used partially.

Standby letters of credit represent commitments by the Bank to repay a third-party beneficiary when a customer fails to repay a loan or debt instrument. The
terms and risk of loss involved in issuing standby letters of credit are similar to those involved in issuing loan commitments and extending credit. In addition to credit risk, the letters of credit could present an immediate cash requirement if the
obligations require funding.

The Bank maintains letters of credit from the FHLB to collateralize public funds deposits. These letters of
credit reduce the Banks available borrowing line at the FHLB.

On March 3, 2005, the Bank entered into an agreement with Northern
Kentucky University whereby the University granted to the Bank the naming rights for the new Northern Kentucky University Arena constructed on the campus of the University for a term commencing immediately upon execution of the agreement and
expiring twenty years after the opening of the Arena. In consideration therefore, the Bank paid the lesser of 10% of the total construction cost of the Arena or $6,000,000, such sum to be paid in seven equal annual installments beginning after
substantial completion and opening of the Arena. The cost of the naming rights will be amortized over the life of the contract commencing on the opening of the Arena, which took place in September 2008.

In the second quarter of 2007, the Bank and Thomas More College announced a naming rights agreement for the new athletic field constructed on Thomas
Mores campus. The Bank committed $1 million to the project, such sum to be paid in five equal annual installments beginning after substantial completion of the field, which is named The Bank of Kentucky Field. The cost of the naming rights
will be amortized over the twenty-five year life of the agreement commencing on the opening of the field, which took place in September 2008.

Further discussion of the Banks contractual obligations and off-balance sheet activities is included in Note 16 of BKFCs consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity refers to the availability of sufficient levels of cash to fund operations, such as meeting deposit withdrawals, funding loan commitments, paying expenses, meeting its quarterly payment
obligations under certain subordinated debentures issued by BKFC in connection with the issuance of floating rate redeemable trust preferred securities issued by BKFCs unconsolidated trust subsidiary and meeting its quarterly dividend payment
for the preferred stock associated with the Capital Purchase Program. The source of the funds for BKFCs debt obligations is dependent on the Bank. During 2009, as discussed in the financial condition section of this report, the growth in the
loans and securities were funded by the growth in deposits and the funding from the issuance of the preferred stock. At December 31, 2009, the Banks customers had available $308,672,000 in unused lines and letters of credit, and the Bank
has further extended loan commitments totaling $10,077,000. Historically, many such commitments have expired without being drawn and, accordingly, do not necessarily represent future cash commitments.

If needed, the Bank has the ability to borrow term and overnight funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank or other financial intermediaries. Further, the Bank
has $183,845,000 of securities designated as available-for-sale and an additional $2,807,000 of held-to-maturity securities that mature within one year that can serve as sources of funds. Management is satisfied that BKFCs liquidity is
sufficient at December 31, 2009 to meet known and potential obligations.

As illustrated in BKFCs statement of cash flows, the net
change in cash and cash equivalents was an increase of $60,082,000. Net income provided $8,760,000 of the $11,884,000 in the Banks cash flows from operating activities, while the largest cash outflow from investing activities was in the form
of an increase in available for sale securities of $98,358,000, the Bank also used $56,213,000 to purchase loans in 2009. As discussed in the financial condition section of this report, the largest source of cash from financing activities came from
the increase in deposits.

During 2010, the Bank could be required to obtain approval from the Kentucky department of financial institutions
to declare dividends to BKFC. This restriction is in place if the accumulated dividends paid to BKFC over current and previous two years are greater than the accumulated earnings of the Bank for those periods. This was a result of the $17,000,000
payoff of the trust preferred securities at BKFC with a $20,000,000 subordinated debenture (as detailed in Note 10 of BKFCs consolidated financial statements) entered into at the Bank in 2008. This transaction required the Bank to declare a
$17,000,000 dividend to pay off these securities of BKFC. This transaction was approved by the appropriate regulatory agencies, and the Bank expects to receive approval from the department of financial institutions to pay dividends to BKFC in 2010.
In 2009, BKFC paid cash dividends of $.56 per share totaling $3,144,000 on common stock and a total of $1,284,000 for dividends on preferred stock.

The FDIC has issued regulations relating a banks deposit insurance assessment and certain aspects of its operations to specified capital levels. A well-capitalized bank, one with a leverage ratio of 5% or more and a total
risk-based capital ratio of 10% or more, and no particular areas of supervisory concern, pays the lowest premium and is subject to the fewest restrictions. The Banks capital levels and ratios exceed the regulatory definitions of
well-capitalized institutions. At December 31, 2009, BKFCs leverage and total risk-based capital ratios were 8.94% and 12.02%, respectively, which exceed all required ratios established for bank holding companies.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and related financial data presented in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without
considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and
liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institutions performance than do general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily
move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In June, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance relating to GAAP (ASC 105-10) and establishing the FASB Codification (the
Codification) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental GAAP in the United States. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC are also sources of authoritative GAAP for companies that are subject to the reporting requirements
of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). ASC 105-10 was effective for financial statements that cover interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance by the
Company did not have a material effect on the results of operations or financial condition. Technical references to GAAP are now provided in these financial statements under this new FASB structure.

In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance impacting ASC 805, Business Combinations, which establishes principles and requirements for how an
acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquire, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business
combination. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact of adoption of this standard is disclosed in Note 6 to these financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance impacting ASC 320-10, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,which amends existing guidance for determining whether impairment is
other-than-temporary for debt securities. The additional guidance requires an entity to assess whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of
its amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized in earnings. For securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment recognized in
earnings is limited to the amount related to credit losses, while impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. Additionally, the guidance expands and increases the frequency of existing disclosures about
other-than-temporary impairments for debt and equity securities. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The
Company adopted this guidance in the second quarter of 2009. The adoption of this guidance is reflected in Note 19 to these financial statements and did not have a material effect on the results of operations or financial condition.

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance impacting ASC 820-10, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset and Liability Have
Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. This additional guidance emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity, the objective of a fair value measurement remains
the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants. The guidance provides a number of
factors to consider when evaluating whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability in relation to normal market activity. In addition, when transactions or quoted prices are not considered
orderly, adjustments to those prices based on the weight of available information may be needed to determine the appropriate fair value. The guidance also requires increased disclosures. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting
periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance during the second quarter of 2009, and the adoption of the
guidance did not have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position.

Effect of Newly Issued But Not
Yet Effective Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166,
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140(ASC 810). The new accounting requirement amends previous guidance relating to the transfers of financial assets and eliminates the concept of a qualifying
special purpose entity. This Statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for
interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This Statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, on and after the effective date, the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is no longer
relevant for accounting purposes. Therefore, formerly qualifying special-purpose entities should be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities on and after the effective date in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance.
Additionally, the disclosure provisions of this Statement were also amended and apply to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this Statement. The effect of adopting this new guidance is not expected to have a material
affect on the Companys results of operations or financial position.

|Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
|-------- | ---------------------------------------------------------

Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk

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 or commodity price risk. The 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 Banks market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk.

The Bank utilizes an earnings simulation model to measure and define the amount of interest rate risk it assumes. Interest rate risk is the potential for economic losses due to future interest rate
changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a decline in fair market values. Interest rate risk results from the fact that the interest sensitive assets and liabilities can adjust their rates at
different times and by different amounts. The goal of asset/liability management is to maintain a high, yet stable, net interest margin and to manage the effect that changes in market interest rates will have on net interest income. A common measure
of interest rate risk is interest rate gap measurement. The gap is the difference, in dollars, between the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that will reprice within a certain time frame. Repricing can
occur when an asset or liability matures or, if an adjustable rate instrument, when it can be adjusted. Typically, the measurement will focus on the interest rate gap position over the next 12 months. An institution is said to have a negative gap
position when more interest-bearing liabilities reprice within a certain period than interest-earning assets, and a positive gap position when more interest-earning assets reprice than interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate gap is considered an
indicator of the effect that changing rates may have on net interest income. Generally, an institution with a negative gap will benefit from declining market interest rates and be negatively impacted by rising interest rates. The Bank currently is
in a negative gap position, $186,363,000 (11.91%), and as a result would, without considering other factors, generally benefit from lower rates and be negatively impacted by higher interest rates. The ability to benefit from the Banks
liability-sensitive position would depend on a number of factors, including: the competitive pressures on consumer deposit and loan pricing; the movement of certain deposit rate indices in relationship to asset rate indices; and the extent of the
decrease in the rate environment.

At December 31, 2009, BKFCs 12-month interest rate gap position, as measured by the Banks
asset/liability model, was negative. Over the preceding 12 months, interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeded interest rate sensitive assets by $186,363,000 (11.91% of total assets). At December 31, 2008, interest rate sensitive liabilities
exceeded interest rate sensitive assets by $215,448,000 (17.16% of total assets). Contributing to the decreased liability sensitive position from 2008 to 2009 was higher levels of short-term investments. Contributing to the increase in short-term
investments was the strong deposit growth experienced in 2009 and the CPP funds. An assumption, based on historical behavior, contributing to BKFCs gap position is that the balances in NOW and savings accounts react within a two-year timeframe
to market rate changes, rather than reacting immediately. These instruments are not tied to specific indices and are only influenced by market conditions and other factors. The Banks experience with NOW and savings accounts has been that they
have repriced at a pace equal to approximately 25% of a prime change. Accordingly, a general movement in interest rates may not have an immediate effect on the rates paid on those deposit accounts.

The Banks asset/liability management policy establishes guidelines governing the amount of interest income at risk, market value at risk and
parameters for the gap position. Management continually monitors these risks through the use of gap analysis and the earnings simulation model. The simulation model is used to estimate and evaluate the impact of changing interest rates on earnings
and market value. The model projects the effect of instantaneous movements in interest rates of both 100 and 200 basis points. The assumptions used in the simulation are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure
future net interest income. The results of the model are used by management to approximate the results of rate changes and do not indicate actual expected results. Actual results will differ from the models simulated results due to timing,
frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in various management strategies and market conditions. Additionally, actual results can differ materially from the model if interest rates do not move equally across the yield curve.

For the changes in the estimates of an increasing rate scenario on the net interest income change, as shown below, between 2008 to 2009 was a result of
the same influences that increased the liability sensitivity of BKFCs gap position. However the differences in the estimates for a decreasing rate environment are the results of the current rate environment. In December of 2008 the Federal
Reserve Bank lowered the targeted federal funds rate to .25%, and as a result most short-term deposit interest rates cannot drop 100 basis points while earning assets could in theory decrease by these amounts. The result of this extreme low rate
environment is both rising and declining rate scenarios produce a negative impact on earnings.

Net interest income estimates are summarized
below.

The table below provides
information about the quantitative market risk of interest sensitive instruments at December 31, 2009 (dollars in thousands) and shows the contractually repricing intervals, and related average interest rates, for each of the next five years
and thereafter. As discussed above, while this table uses the contractual repricing intervals for NOW and savings accounts and therefore reflects the Banks ability to adjust rates on those accounts at any time, the Banks interest rate
risk model incorporates assumptions based on historical behavior to determine the expected repricing of these deposits. The amounts included in loans excludes allowance for loan losses, deferred fees, in process accounts and purchase accounting
adjustments:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders

The Bank
of Kentucky Financial Corporation

Crestview Hills, Kentucky

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporation as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes
in shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. We also have audited The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporations internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2009, based on criteria established inInternal Control  Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporations
management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Managements
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included in item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists,
and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

##### Table of Contents

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporation as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009,
based on criteria established in Internal Control  Integrated Frameworkissued by the COSO.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Bank of
Kentucky Financial Corporation (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Bank of Kentucky (the Bank). Intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Description of Business: The Company provides financial services through its subsidiary, which operates primarily in Boone, Campbell, Grant, Gallatin and Kenton counties in northern Kentucky and
also in Greater Cincinnati, Ohio. Operations consist of generating commercial, mortgage and consumer loans and accepting deposits from customers. The loan portfolio is diversified and the ability of debtors to repay loans is not dependent upon any
single industry. The majority of the institutions loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, real property and consumer assets.

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions based on
available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses and the fair values of financial instruments
are particularly subject to change.

Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal
funds sold. The Company reports net cash flows for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest-bearing balances with banks and short-term borrowings with maturities of 90 days or less.

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Financial Institutions: Interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions mature within one year and are
carried at cost.

Securities: Securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the
positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities are classified as available-for-sale when they might be sold before maturity. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported
in other comprehensive income net of tax.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on
securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments except for mortgage backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are based on the amortized cost of the security sold.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)



Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) at least on a
quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.

Loans Held For Sale: The Bank
originates loans for sale to secondary market brokers. Loans held for sale are loans which have been closed and are awaiting delivery to these brokers. They are reported at the lower of cost or fair value, on an aggregate basis. Net unrealized
losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to earnings. Most loans are sold servicing released such that there would be no servicing asset recognized upon the sale.

Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal
balance outstanding, purchase premiums and discounts, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are
deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on mortgage and
commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection. Interest income is not reported when full loan repayment is in doubt, typically when the loan is impaired or
payments are significantly past due. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan.

All interest accrued but not received for
loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the
principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Concentration of Credit
Risk: Most of the Companys business activity is with customers located within Northern Kentucky and the Cincinnati metropolitan area. Therefore, the Companys exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy
in this area.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses,
increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower
situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations

of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in managements judgment, should be charged off. Loan losses are charged against the
allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.

The allowance consists of specific and general
components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers both classified and non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans, for which the terms have been modified, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired.

Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans,
and on an individual loan basis for other loans. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified
for impairment disclosures. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loans existing rate or at the fair value of collateral
if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Troubled debt restructurings are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loans effective rate at inception.

Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related
components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 10 to 25 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the length of the
lease. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years.

Other Real Estate: Other real estate acquired through or instead of foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a
valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Expenses incurred in carrying other real estate are charged to operations as incurred. A total of $1,381 and $712 of other real estate was owned on December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and
included in other assets.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)



Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are
required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based
on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

Company Owned Life Insurance: The
Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Company owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted
for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill
resulting from business combinations prior to January 1, 2009 represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill resulting from business combinations after January 1, 2009 is
generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition
date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. The Company has selected June 30 as the date to
perform the annual impairment test. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on our balance sheet.

Other intangible assets consist of core deposit, acquired customer relationship, trade name and noncompete agreement intangible assets
arising from whole bank, branch and asset management business acquisitions. They are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized either on the straight-line method or an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives of four to ten
years.

Prepaid FDIC Insurance: On September 29, 2009 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) adopted an
Amended Restoration Plan to allow the Deposit Insurance Fund to return to a reserve ratio of 1.15% within eight years, as mandated by statute. As part of the Amended Restoration Plan, the FDIC amended its assessment regulations to require all
institutions to prepay on December 30, 2009 their estimated risk-based insurance assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012. At that same time, institutions were also required to pay their regular quarterly
assessments for the third quarter of 2009. An institutions quarterly risk-based deposit insurance assessments thereafter would be paid from the amount the institution prepaid until that amount was exhausted or until December 31, 2014,
when any amount remaining would be returned to the institution. The prepaid assessment amount was $6,694 on December 30, 2009 and is included in other assets.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)



Repurchase Agreements: Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities represent amounts
advanced by various customers. Securities are pledged to cover these liabilities, which are not covered by federal deposit insurance.

Stock-Based Compensation: Compensation cost is recognized for stock options issued to directors and officers, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value
of stock options. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period
for the entire award.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the amount of taxes payable for the current year plus or minus the change in
deferred taxes. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. Recognition of deferred tax
assets is limited by the establishment of a valuation allowance unless management concludes that they are more likely than not to result in future tax benefits to the Company.

The Company adopted guidance issued by the FASB with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is more
likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on
examination. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Companys financial statements.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit, issued to meet customer
financing needs. The face amount of these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. Instruments, such as standby letters of credit
that are considered financial guarantees are recorded at fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial
instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk,
prepayments and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)



Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the
ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are currently such matters that will have a material
effect on the financial statements.

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income.
Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale which are also recognized as separate components of equity.

Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require the maintenance of certain capital levels and may limit the amount of dividends which may be paid by the Bank to the Company or by the Company to
its shareholders. See Note 18 for further discussion.

Long-term Assets: These assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate
their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.

Business Segment: Internal financial information is reported and aggregated in one line of business, banking. While the chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, the identifiable segments
are not material and operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Reclassifications had no material effect on the financial statements.

Derivative Financial Instruments: As a result of loans
acquired through the Integra acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2009, the Bank initiated an interest rate protection program in which the Bank earns a fee by providing the Banks commercial loan customers the ability to swap from variable to
fixed, or fixed to variable interest rates. Under these agreements the Bank enters into a variable or fixed rate loan agreement with its customer in addition to a swap agreement. The swap agreement effectively swaps the customers variable rate
to a fixed rate or vice versa. The Bank then enters into a corresponding swap agreement with a third party in order to swap its exposure on the variable to fixed rate swap with the Banks customer. The agreements are considered stand alone
derivatives and changes in the fair value of derivatives are reported in earnings as non interest income.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)



The Bank is exposed to losses if a counterparty fails to make its payments under a contract in which the
Bank is in the receiving status in this situation the Bank receives collateral from the counterparty for the fair market value of the derivative. Also, the Bank minimizes its credit risk by monitoring the credit standing of the counterparties. We
anticipate the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under these agreements.

Earnings Per Common Share: Basic
earnings per common share is net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential
common shares issuable under stock options. Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock splits and stock dividends through the date of issuance of the financial statements.

Retirement Plans: Employee 401(k) and profit sharing plan expense is the amount of matching contributions. Deferred compensation and supplemental
retirement plan expense allocates the benefits over years of service.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards: In June, 2009, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance relating to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (ASC 105-10) and establishing the FASB Codification (the Codification) as the single source of
authoritative nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) are also sources of authoritative GAAP
for companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). ASC 105-10 was effective for financial statements that cover interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance by the Company did not have a material effect on the results of operations or financial condition. Technical references to GAAP are now provided in these financial statements under this new FASB
ASC structure.

In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance impacting ASC 805, Business Combinations, which establishes principles and
requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill
acquired in a business combination. It is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted this standard in accounting for its acquisitions disclosed in Note 6 to these financial statements.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)



In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance impacting ASC 320-10, Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,which amends existing guidance for determining whether impairment is other-than-temporary for debt securities. The additional guidance requires an entity to assess whether it intends to sell, or it is more
likely than not that it will be required to sell a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized in
earnings. For securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment recognized in earnings is limited to the amount related to credit losses, while impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive
income. Additionally, the guidance expands and increases the frequency of existing disclosures about other-than-temporary impairments for debt and equity securities. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after
June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance in the second quarter of 2009. The adoption of this guidance is reflected in Note 19 to these financial statements and
did not have a material effect on the results of operations or financial condition.

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance impacting ASC
820-10, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset and Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. This additional guidance emphasizes that even if there has been a
significant decrease in the volume and level of activity, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is,
not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants. The guidance provides a number of factors to consider when evaluating whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or
liability in relation to normal market activity. In addition, when transactions or quoted prices are not considered orderly, adjustments to those prices based on the weight of available information may be needed to determine the appropriate fair
value. The guidance also requires increased disclosures. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after
March 15, 2009. The Company adopted this guidance during the second quarter of 2009, and the adoption of the guidance did not have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(Continued)



Effect of Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards: In June 2009, the FASB
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (ASC 810). The new accounting requirement amends previous guidance relating to the
transfers of financial assets and eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity. This Statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15,
2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This Statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, on and after the
effective date, the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes. Therefore, formerly qualifying special-purpose entities should be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities on and after the
effective date in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. Additionally, the disclosure provisions of this Statement were also amended and apply to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this Statement. The
effect of adopting this new guidance is not expected to have a material affect on the Companys results of operations or financial position.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) at least on a quarterly basis, and
more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. Investment securities classified as available for sale or held-to-maturity are evaluated for OTTI under ASC 320, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities.

In determining OTTI, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the
fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt
security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the
information available to management at a point in time.

NOTE 2 - SECURITIES(Continued)



When OTTI occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to
sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell the
security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investments amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance
sheet date. Otherwise, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash
flows expected to be collected and is recognized earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized
in earnings shall become the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

As of December 31, 2009, the Banks security portfolio
consisted of 121 securities, 19 of which were in an unrealized loss position, this loss position was $282. There was no other-than-temporary-impairment of securities as of or for the year ended December 31, 2009. Unrealized losses have not been
recognized into income because the issuers bonds are of high credit quality (U.S. government agencies and government sponsored enterprises and A rated or better Kentucky municipalities), management does not have the intent to sell
these securities and it is not likely that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery.

NOTE 6 - ACQUISITIONS

On December 11,
2009, the Bank completed the purchase of three banking offices of Integra Bank Corporations wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Integra Bank N.A., located in Crittenden, Dry Ridge and Warsaw, Kentucky and a portfolio of selected commercial loans
originated by Integra Banks Covington, Kentucky loan production office. This acquisition was consistent with the Banks strategy to strengthen and expand its Northern Kentucky market share. The acquisition offers the Bank the opportunity
to increase profitability by introducing our existing retail and commercial products and services to the acquired customer base, as well as to add new customers in the expanded market. This transaction also included the deposits of two additional
branches in northern Kentucky where the banking offices were excluded. This transaction added $76 million in deposits and $51 million in loans. The deposits were purchased at a premium of 6.50%, while the loans were purchased at an approximate 1%
discount. The acquisition included a core deposit intangible asset of $1,579 and goodwill of $5,310. The results of operations for this acquisition have been included since the transaction date of December 11, 2009. In a separate transaction,
the Bank also bought an additional $49 million in loans from Integra Bank in the third quarter and $7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 at an approximate 1% discount. None of these purchased loans have shown evidence of credit deterioration
since origination. Expenses associated with this transaction, approximately $200, were included in the other non-interest expense category on the income statement.

Asset Management, LLC is an independent investment advisory firm, headquartered in Fort Wright, Kentucky. Tapke Asset Management, LLC is one of Northern Kentuckys largest independent investment advisory firms managing each clients
individual portfolios focused on their core equity, fixed income or balanced objectives. The purchase was consistent with the Banks strategy to strengthen and grow the Trust Department revenue and to give the Banks current customers
access to more products and services backed by a team of investment professionals. The entire staff of Tapke Asset Management joined The Bank of Kentuckys current team of investment associates, and will service the combined portfolio and
clients going forward. As a result, it is anticipated that The Bank of Kentucky will oversee in excess of $650 million in client assets. The expenses related to this transaction were not material to the financial statements.

The asset management company was purchased for $3,000, which consisted of $2,000 in cash and $1,000 in Company stock, with an additional $500 in contingent
consideration payable in three years based on revenue retention which has a fair value of $395. The acquisition included a customer relationship intangible of $1,525, a noncompete agreement intangible of $320 and a trade name intangible of $165, and

NOTE 10 - NOTES PAYABLE(Continued)



In March 2008, The Bank of Kentucky, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $20,000 of LIBOR
plus 1.75% floating rate subordinated debenture to USB Capital Resources, Inc. The debenture may be redeemed any time after March 2013 at face value. Final maturity is March of 2018. The subordinated debentures are classified as liabilities on the
balance sheet and count as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes.

In May of 2007, The Bank of Kentucky Capital Trust II (the
Trust), a trust subsidiary of the Company, issued $18,000 of LIBOR plus 1.47% floating rate obligated mandatory redeemable securities Trust Preferred Securities as part of a pooled offering. The Trust may redeem the Trust Preferred
Securities, in whole but not in part, any time after May 2012 at face value. The final maturity date is May of 2037. The Trust used the proceeds from the issuance of its Trust Preferred Securities and common securities to buy $18,557 aggregate
principal amount of junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company. These debentures are the Trusts only assets, with terms similar to the Trust Preferred Securities, and mature in 2037. The subordinated debentures are classified as
liabilities on the balance sheet and count as Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes, subject to certain limitations.

Other notes
payable included a capitalized lease obligation.

The Bank maintains a $175,000 letter of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Cincinnati. The letter is pledged to secure public funds deposit accounts and is secured by a blanket pledge of the Banks residential and commercial real estate loans.

NOTE 11 - PREFERRED STOCK

On February 13, 2009, the Company entered into a Letter
Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with the United States Department of Treasury (the Treasury Department) under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) Capital Purchase Program (CPP), pursuant to which the
Company issued 34,000 shares of Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the Series A Preferred Stock) for a total price of $34 million. The Series A Preferred Stock is to pay cumulative dividends at an annual dividend rate of
5% for the first five years and thereafter at annual dividend rate of 9%. No cash dividends can be paid to common stockholders unless all dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been declared and paid in full (or an amount sufficient for the
payment of the dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock has been set aside for the payment of such dividends). Pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the ARRA), the Company may redeem the Series A Preferred
Stock at any time, subject to the approval of its primary federal regulator.

NOTE 11 - PREFERRED STOCK(Continued)



As part of its purchase of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Treasury Department received a warrant (the
Warrant) to purchase 274,784 shares of the Companys common stock at an initial per share exercise price of $18.56. The Warrant provides for the adjustment of the exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
exercise pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions. The Warrant expires ten years from the issuance date.

Both the Series A Preferred
Stock and the Warrant are accounted for as components of Tier 1 capital. The net proceeds received from the Treasury Department were allocated between the Series A Preferred Stock and Warrant based on relative fair value. The Series A Preferred
Stock will be accreted to liquidation value over the expected life of the shares, with accretion charged to retained earnings.

As part of the
Capital Purchase Program, any increase in the Companys dividend level on its common shares from the September 2008 semi-annual payment of $.28 per share must be approved by the Treasury department.

NOTE 12 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Bank
maintains an employee profit sharing plan covering substantially all employees. Contributions are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Profit sharing expense totaled $171, $294, and $507 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and
2007, respectively.

In 2003, the Company adopted a benefit program for certain officers to encourage long-term retention. The program
consists principally of a defined benefit component, providing each officer with payments equal to 30% of final average pay for 15 years after retirement, and a deferral component, permitting each officer the ability to defer a portion of their
current compensation and earn pre-tax returns on such deferred amounts. The accrued liability under the defined benefit component was $1,976 and $1,771 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Expense related to the program was $205 and $623 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE 13 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION



Stock Option Plan

Options to buy stock are granted to directors, officers and employees under the Companys stock option and incentive plan which provide for the issuance of up to 1,200,000 shares. The Company
believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. The specific terms of each option agreement are determined by the Compensation Committee at the date of the grant. For current options outstanding,
options granted to directors vest immediately and options granted to employees generally vest evenly over a five-year period. The options lives are generally ten years for employees and five years for directors. Total compensation cost that has been
charged against income for those plans was $494, $642, and $839 for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The total income tax benefit was $23, $27, and $77.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities
are based on historical volatilities of the Companys common stock. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. Expected term is estimated based
upon the contractual term and vesting period of the options including consideration of historical trends segregated by employees and directors. A forfeiture rate of 19% for employees and 0% for directors is used in the model and is based on
historical experience.

The fair value of options granted was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date.



|                                |  |           |   |  |           |   |  |           |

NOTE 14 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES(Continued)



At year end 2009, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards from its 2007 acquisition of
approximately $11,508 which expire beginning in 2022 and have an annual limitation by IRC section 382. No valuation allowance has been established as management believes it will generate sufficient income in future years to realize the net operating
loss benefits before expiration.

The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2009 and 2008 and did not recognize any
increase in unrecognized benefits during 2009 or 2008 relative to any tax positions taken in 2009 and 2008. Should the accrual of any interest or penalties relative to unrecognized tax benefits be necessary, it is the Companys policy to record
such accruals in its income taxes accounts; no such accruals exist as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company and its corporate subsidiary file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, which is subject to examination for all years
after 2005.

NOTE 15 - EARNINGS PER SHARE(Continued)



Stock options for 564,685, 574,100 and 415,290 shares of common stock were not considered in computing
diluted earnings per common share for 2009, 2008 and 2007 because they were antidilutive.

NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND OFF BALANCE SHEET
ACTIVITIES

The Bank leases branch facilities and sites and is committed under various non-cancelable lease contracts that expire at
various dates through the year 2017. Most of these leases are with members of the Banks Board of Directors or companies they control. Expense for leased premises was $929, $1,065, and $1,022 for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Minimum lease
payments at December 31, 2009 for all non-cancelable leases were as follows:

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines,
letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have
expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such
commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

The loan commitments are generally
extended for terms of up to 60 days and, in many cases, allow the customer to select from one of several financing options offered. For the fixed rate commitments, the interest range was 4.00% to 6.50% in 2009 and 6.25% to 6.75% in 2008.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank was required to have $5,325 and $4,583, respectively, on deposit with the Federal Reserve or as cash on hand
as reserve.

On March 3, 2005, the Bank entered into an agreement with Northern Kentucky University whereby the University granted to the
Bank the naming rights for the new Northern Kentucky University Arena constructed on the campus of the University for a term commencing immediately upon execution of the agreement and expiring twenty years after the opening of the Arena. In
consideration therefore, the Bank is paying $6,000 in seven equal annual installments beginning after substantial completion and opening of the Arena which occurred in September 2008. The cost of the naming rights will be amortized over the life of
the contract commencing on the opening of the Arena, which took place in September 2008.

In the second quarter of 2007, the Bank and Thomas
More College announced a naming rights agreement for the new athletic field being constructed on Thomas Mores campus. The Bank committed $1,000 to the project, which will be named The Bank of Kentucky Field. The cost of the naming rights will
be amortized over the twenty-five year life of the agreement commencing on the opening of the field, which took place in September 2008.

NOTE 17 - INTEREST RATE CONTRACTS



As a result of loans acquired through the Integra acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2009, the Bank
initiated an interest rate protection program in which the Bank earns a fee by providing the Banks commercial loan customers the ability to swap from variable to fixed, or fixed to variable interest rates. Under these agreements the Bank
enters into a variable or fixed rate loan agreement with its customer in addition to a swap agreement. The swap agreement effectively swaps the customers variable rate to a fixed rate or vice versa. The Bank then enters into a corresponding
swap agreement with a third party in order to swap its exposure on the variable to fixed rate swap with the Banks customer. Since the swaps are structured to offset each other, changes in fair values, while recorded, have no material net
earnings impact. The notional amount of interest rate swaps at December 31, 2009 was $7,288 with maturities ranging from four to eight years. The current fair value of these swaps was $675 at December 31, 2009 and is included in other
assets and other liabilities for the value of each of the swaps.

The Bank is exposed to losses if a counterparty fails to make its payments
under a contract in which the Bank is in the receiving status. Although collateral or other security is not obtained, as the Bank is not currently in the receiving status, we minimize our credit risk by monitoring the credit standing of the
counterparties. We anticipate the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under these agreements.

NOTE 18 - CAPITAL
REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements
administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under
regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. Management believes as of December 31, 2009, the
Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five
classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized,
regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At year-end 2009 and 2008, the most recent regulatory
notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

NOTE 18 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON RETAINED EARNINGS(Continued)



The Companys principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank.
Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current years net
profits, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements described above.

During 2010,
the Bank could be required to obtain approval from the Kentucky department of financial institutions to declare dividends to the Company. This restriction is in place as a result of the accumulated dividends paid to the Company over the last two
years being greater than the accumulated earnings of the Bank for those periods. This was a result of the $17,000 payoff of the trust preferred securities at the Company with a $20,000 subordinated debenture (as detailed in Note 10) entered into at
the Bank. This transaction required the Bank to declare a $17,000 dividend to payoff these securities of the Company. This transaction was approved by the appropriate regulatory agencies, and the Bank expects to receive approval, if necessary from
the department of financial institutions to pay dividends to the Company as before. The Bank expects to request approval for any 2010 dividends. See Note 11 regarding dividend restrictions related to CPP.

NOTE 19 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE

Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities:

ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an
entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the
measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entitys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

NOTE 19 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE(Continued)



The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by matrix pricing, which is a
mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities relationship to other benchmark quoted securities
(Level 2 inputs). One corporate security is valued using Level 3 inputs as there is no readily observable market activity. Management determines the value of this security based on expected cash flows, the credit quality of the security, and current
market interest rates. Based on the credit and interest rate characteristics of this security, fair value approximates amortized cost.

The
Banks derivative instruments consist of over-the-counter (OTC) interest-rate swaps that trade in liquid markets. The fair value of the derivative instruments is primarily measured by obtaining pricing from broker-dealers recognized to be
market participants. The pricing is derived from market observable inputs that can generally be verified and do not typically involve significant judgment by the Bank. This valuation method is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 19 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE(Continued)



Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral
dependent loans, had a gross carrying amount of $32,142, with a valuation allowance of $5,916, resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $2,484 for 2009. For December 31, 2008 impaired loans, had a gross carrying amount of
$13,956, with a valuation allowance of $3,432, resulting in an additional provision for loan losses of $1,931.

Values for collateral
dependent loans are generally based on appraisals obtained from licensed real estate appraisers and in certain circumstances consideration of offers obtained to purchase properties prior to foreclosure or other factors management deems relevant to
arrive at a representative fair value. Appraisals for commercial real estate generally use three methods to derive value: cost, sales or market comparison and income approach. The cost method bases value on the cost to replace the current property.
Values using the market comparison approach evaluates the sales price of similar properties in the same market area. The income approach considers net operating income generated by the property and an investors required return. The final fair
value is based on a reconciliation of these three approaches. The loans classified as level 2 had current and viable appraisals, while loans classified as level 3 had older appraisals and required the use of other unobservable inputs.

NOTE 19 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE(Continued)



The estimated fair value approximates carrying amount for all items except those described below.
Estimated fair value for all securities is determined as previously described for securities available for sale. It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. Estimated fair value
of loans held for sale is based on market quotes. Estimated fair value for loans is based on the rates charged at year-end for new loans with similar maturities, applied until the loan is assumed to reprice or be paid. Estimated fair value for time
deposits is based on the rates paid at year-end for new deposits, applied until maturity. Estimated fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. Estimated fair value for commitments to make loans and unused lines of credit are
considered nominal. Estimated fair value for derivatives is determined as previously described.

STATEMENTS

Disclosure
Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are BKFCs controls and other procedures that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by BKFC in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision, and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009. Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are adequate to ensure that information requiring disclosure is communicated to management in a timely manner and reported within the timeframe specified by the SECs rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the fourth quarter of 2009, no change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, BKFCs internal control
over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENTS REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management of The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporation has prepared the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles and is responsible for its accuracy. The financial statements necessarily include amounts that are based on managements best estimates and judgments.

The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporations management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act
Rules 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporations principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our evaluation included a review
of the documentation of controls, evaluations of the design of the internal control system, and tests of the effectiveness of internal controls.

Based on The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporations evaluation under the framework in Internal Control  Integrated Framework, management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2009. Managements internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 has been audited by Crowe Horwath LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is contained
herein.
