                 FIRST FEDERAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION OF KENTUCKY

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       Interim Financial Statements

         First Federal Financial Corporation of Kentucky  ("Corporation") is the
         parent to its wholly owned  subsidiary,  First Federal  Savings Bank of
         Elizabethtown  ("Bank").  The Corporation has no material income, other
         than that generated by the Bank.

         In the opinion of management,  these unaudited  consolidated  financial
         statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
         its  financial  position  as of March 31,  1999 and the  results of its
         operations  and its cash  flows  for the  three  month  and nine  month
         periods then ended.  All such  adjustments  were of a normal  recurring
         nature.

         The results of  operations  for the three month and nine month  periods
         ended March 31,  1999 and 1998 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
         results for the full years.

         It is suggested that these financial  statements be read in conjunction
         with the financial statements,  accounting policies and financial notes
         thereto  included in the Appendix to the Company's 1998 Proxy Statement
         which has been previously filed with the Commission.

2.       SFAS "Earnings Per Share,"  established new standards for computing and
         presenting earnings per share. The reconciliation of the numerators and
         denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations is as follows:

            MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Federal Financial Corporation of Kentucky ("Corporation") is the parent to
its  wholly  owned  subsidiary,  First  Federal  Savings  Bank of  Elizabethtown
("Bank").  The Bank has operations in the Kentucky communities of Elizabethtown,
Radcliff, Bardstown, Munfordville,  Shepherdsville, Mt. Washington, Brandenburg,
Flaherty, and Paducah.

The  following  discussion  and  analysis  covers  any  material  changes in the
financial  condition since June 30, 1998 and any material changes in the results
of operations for the three month and nine month periods ending, March 31, 1999.
This  discussion and analysis  should be read in conjunction  with  "Managements
Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and  Results of  Operations"
included in the 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders.

PRELIMINARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The  information set forth in this report  includes  forward-looking  statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For
this purpose,  the words  "believes,"  "anticipates,"  "plans,"  "expects,"  and
similar  expressions  are  intended  to  identify  forward-looking   statements.
Although the Corporation believes that the forward-looking  statements are based
upon  reasonable  assumptions,  the  statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties  that  could  cause the  Corporation's  actual  results  to differ
materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. Among the key
factors that may have a direct bearing on the  Corporation's  operating  results
are  fluctuations  in the economy;  the relative  strengths  and weakness in the
consumer  and  commercial  credit  sectors  and in the real estate  market;  the
actions  taken by the Federal  Reserve for the purpose of managing  the economy;
the Corporation's  success in assimilating acquired branches and operations into
the Bank's existing operations;  the Bank's success in converting its systems to
integrate  new  hardware  and  software   without   material   disruption;   the
Corporation's  ability to offer competitive  banking products and services;  the
continued  growth of the markets in which the  Corporation  operates  consistent
with  recent  historical  experience;   the  enactment  of  federal  legislation
affecting the operations of the Corporation;  and the  Corporation's  ability to
expand into new markets  and to maintain  profit  margins in the face of pricing
pressure.

ACQUISITION

On July 24, 1998,  the Bank  completed  its  acquisition  of three bank branches
located in Meade  County,  Kentucky  from Bank One,  Kentucky,  N.A.  Two of the
branches  are  located  in  Brandenburg,  Kentucky  and the  third  branch is in
Flaherty, Kentucky.

In the  transaction,  the Bank  acquired  certain  assets  and  assumed  certain
liabilities associated with the acquisition of the Meade County banking centers.
The transaction  resulted in recording of assets of $11,870,000,  liabilities of
$72,500,000  and core  deposit  intangibles  of  approximately  $8,670,000.  The
consideration paid for the assets totaled approximately  $20,500,000,  which was
determined  based on a premium  for the core  deposits of the  acquired  banking
centers plus the book or cash value of certain  other  transferred  assets.  The
acquisition  was funded by reducing  proceeds due for the net  liability  amount
assumed.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Month  Period  Ended March 1999 vs. 1998 - During the quarter  ended March
31, 1999, the  Corporation  took a pre-tax  adjustment of $291,000 in connection
with its  computer  conversion  resulting  in net income for the  quarter in the
amount of $1,476,000 or $.36 per share. Excluding this adjustment,  net earnings
for the three month  period ended March 31, 1999 would have been  $1,668,000  or
$.40 per share  compared to  $1,650,000 or $.40 per share for the same period in
1998.

Net interest  income  increased by $569,322 in 1999 as compared to 1998 in spite
of the  declining  net interest  margin which was 4.00% for the 1999 period,  as
compared to 4.11% for the 1998  period.  The purchase of three  banking  centers
during the quarter ended September 30, 1998, contributed  approximately $375,000
to the  total  increase  in net  interest  income  for  the  1999  quarter.  The
Corporation's  cost of funds  decreased by 37 basis  points in 1999  compared to
1998, due to lower rates paid on short-term customer deposits.

                                       8

Average  interest-earning  assets increased by $71 million from $376 million for
the 1998 period to $447 million for the 1999 period due to the  interest-earning
assets acquired from the three Meade County banking centers.  Average loans were
$44 million  higher and  averaged  $391 million  during 1999,  while the average
yield on loans  decreased  by 30 basis points to 8.40% due to a decrease in loan
rates.

Average  interest-bearing  liabilities  increased by $75.5 million to an average
balance  of  $418  million  for  the  1999  period  due to the  interest-bearing
liabilities acquired from the three banking centers.  Customer deposits averaged
$395 million  during  1999,  an increase of $95.8  million  compared to the 1998
quarter.  The acquisition  contributed  approximately $72.5 million to the total
deposit growth.

Total other income was  $1,175,330 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, as
compared to $710,265 for the 1998 period, an increase of $465,065. There were no
sales of securities  recorded  during the 1999 quarter while gains on investment
sales recorded during the 1998 quarter totaled  $125,622.  Customer service fees
charged on deposit accounts increased by $125,175 during 1999 due to a growth in
customer accounts.  Miscellaneous  other income increased by $465,512 during the
1999 period.  Included in this  increase was a gain of $305,000  recorded on the
sale of two lots owned by First Service  Corporation,  a subsidiary of the Bank.
Other sources of miscellaneous income such as brokerage commissions,  loan fees,
and other  customer  transaction  fees  increased  by $160,512  due to growth in
deposit  relationships  with existing customers and new customers as a result of
the acquisition.

Total other  expense was  $3,322,361  for the three month period ended March 31,
1999, as compared to $2,032,116 for the 1998 period,  an increase of $1,290,245.
Compensation  and  benefits  increased  by $316,171 in 1999 as compared to 1998,
$193,000 of the increase is due to the additional associates gained in the three
branch  acquisition  while  the  other  $123,171  increase  is  due  to  routine
inflationary  salary raises and new associate  positions required to service the
normal  customer  growth of the Bank.  Office  occupancy and equipment  expenses
increased by $84,465 in 1999 as compared to 1998.  Approximately  $69,000 of the
increase  is due to the  acquisition  of the  three  banking  centers  while the
remaining  $15,465  is due to  inflationary  increases  in other  occupancy  and
equipment  related  expenses.   Marketing  and  advertising  expenses  increased
$133,159 during the 1999 period. Approximately $31,118 of the increase is due to
increased  marketing and advertising for the three new banking centers while the
remaining  increase  of  $102,041  is related to the  Bank's  marketing  efforts
associated  with  expanded  services and products  offered to  customers.  Also,
during the quarter  ended March 31, 1999 the Bank incurred  computer  conversion
costs of $291,000 relating to its conversion to a new data processor.  All other
expenses  increased  by $465,450 in 1999  compared  to 1998.  Expenses  directly
related  to  customer  checking  accounts  increased  due to a higher  volume of
accounts.  Expenses  directly  related to postage,  telephone,  data  processing
costs, and supplies  increased due to expanded  services and products offered to
customers.

Nine Month Period Ended March 31, 1999 vs. 1998 - Net income was  $4,386,000  or
$1.06  per  share   for  the  nine   month   period   ended   March  31,   1999.
Acquisition-related  costs in  connection  with the  purchase  of three  banking
centers  during the quarter ended  September 30, 1998, in the amount of $292,000
were charged against earnings for that quarter.  Also,  during the quarter ended
March 31, 1999, the Corporation  incurred computer conversion costs of $291,000.
Excluding  these  costs,  net earnings for the nine month period ended March 31,
1999,  would have been  $4,772,000 or $1.16 per share  compared to $4,706,000 or
$1.13 per share for the same period in 1998.

Net interest income increased by $1,433,898 in 1999 as compared to 1998 in spite
of the  declining  net  interest  margin  which was 3.86% for the 1999 period as
compared to 4.06% for the 1998 period. The purchase of the three banking centers
contributed  approximately $853,898 to the total increase in net interest income
for the 1999  period.  The  Corporation's  cost of funds  decreased  by 26 basis
points in 1999 compared to 1998, due to lower rates paid on short-term  customer
deposits.

Average  interest-earning  assets increased by $72 million from $365 million for
the 1998 period to $437 million for the 1999 period due to the  interest-earning
assets acquired from the three Meade County banking centers.  Average loans were
$42 million  higher and  averaged  $382 million  during 1999,  while the average
yield on loans decreased by 22 basis points to 8.32%.

lots owned by First Service Corporation, a subsidiary of the Bank. Other sources
of income such as loan fees, other customer  transaction fees, and trust account
commissions  increased by $322,910 due to growth in deposit  relationships  with

increase is result of the acquisition  while the other $229,765  increase is due
to new associate positions required to service the normal customer growth of the
Bank. Office occupancy and equipment  expenses  increased by $245,546 in 1999 as

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

Management  periodically evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses
based on the Bank's past loan loss  experience,  known and inherent risks in the
portfolio,  adverse  situations that may effect the borrower's  ability to repay
and other factors. During the nine month period ended March 31, 1999, management
chose to add  $180,000  to the  reserve  for loan loss.  Although  current  loan
charge-offs and  delinquencies  are consistent with previous years,  the reserve
was increased to compensate  for the Bank's  continued  strong loan growth.  The
Bank  experienced  an  insignificant  amount of  uncollectible  loans during the
periods  indicated  in  the  table  below.   Approximately  59%  of  the  Bank's
non-performing assets are secured by one-to-four-family  residences at March 31,
1999.

LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES

Loan demand  continued to be strong during the nine months ended March 31, 1999,
as net loans  increased  from $355 million at June 30, 1998,  to $392 million at
March 31, 1999. The acquisition of the Meade County banking centers  contributed
$11 million to the total loan growth of $37 million,  while the Bank  achieved a
9.7% growth rate in its existing loan  customer  base, or $26 million in net new
loans.  The Meade  County  acquisition  also  contributed  $72.5  million in new
customer  deposits.  The  acquisition  coupled with a $17 million  growth in the
Bank's customer  deposits  resulted in a total deposit increase of $89.5 million
during the nine month period ended March 31, 1999.

Current regulations require the Corporation's subsidiary,  First Federal Savings
Bank, to maintain  minimum  specific levels of liquid assets,  (currently 4%) of
cash and eligible investments to the savings deposits and short-term borrowings.
At March 31, 1999,  the Bank's liquid assets were 11.55% of its liquidity  base.
The Bank intends to continue to fund loan growth  (outstanding  loan commitments
were $8.9  million at March 31,  1999) and any  declines  in  customer  deposits
through  additional  advances from the FHLB. At March 31, 1999,  the Bank has an
unused approved line of credit in the amount of $16.2 million, and the potential
to significantly  increase its indebtedness with the FHLB, if necessary,  due to
the Bank's strong financial condition.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Year 2000 issue  involves  the ability of computers  to  accurately  process
dates in the new  millennium.  The Year 2000 date  change  can affect any system
that uses computer  software  programs or computer  chips,  including  automated
equipment  and  machinery.  Many  programs  or  chips  store  calendar  dates as
two-digit dates rather than four-digit  numbers.  These programs record the year
1998 as "98". This approach will work until the Year 2000 when the "00" may read
as 1900 instead of 2000. Therefore,  our institution has been fixing our systems
to make sure they will operate properly on January 1, 2000.

Status

First Federal Savings Bank's Board of Directors and senior management has placed
the Year 2000 issue as a top  priority.  Management  created a Year 2000 team in
April  1997 to study  the  issue  and to guide  the Bank  through  the Year 2000
process.  A formal  Year 2000 Plan was  established  and filed  with the  bank's
federal regulators,  the Office of Thrift Supervision.  The Plan continues to be
updated with the primary focus on achieving  compliance within  established time
frames.  The  following  phases are the main  objective of the Plan:  Awareness,
Assessment,  Renovation,  Validation, and Implementation.  As of March 31, 1999,
the awareness and  assessment  phases are complete and the  renovation  phase is
substantially  complete.  Mission-critical  systems and all  hardware  have been
tested  and  validating  the  material  other  third  parties  have  begun.   An
independent  consultant  assisted  management  during  the  validation  phase of
mission-critical  applications.  Findings to date have not  identified  material

Cost

Both internal and external resources are being utilized to renovate and validate
equipment for Year 2000 readiness. Expenses as of March 31, 1999 total $213,000,
net of tax. Total cost for Year 2000 is expected to be  approximately  $400,000,
net of tax.

Contingency Plan

Since there is always the possibility of failure in the institution's  system at
critical future dates, a Contingency Plan was developed. The purpose of the Plan
is to give  management  direction on how to handle  problems which will minimize
the impact on the customers.  Critical business areas have been identified based
on the core business processes.  Manual procedures have been documented and will
be validated.  The Board of Directors will review the modified  Contingency Plan
prior to the June 30, 1999 Board meeting. Management will continue to review and
validate the Contingency Plan throughout 1999.

Risk

First Federal Savings Bank relies upon numerous vendors and  infrastructures  to
provide  complete  service to our  customers,  any  failure on their part to not
become Year 2000  compliant  could have a material  adverse  effect on the bank.
Monitoring  of their  efforts  will  continue so any risk can be  mitigated.  In
addition,  First  Federal  Savings Bank has  established a process to manage the
Year 2000 risks  posed by its  customers.  Management  has  identified  material
customers and is evaluating their Year 2000 risk by sending questionnaires. Once
management  has fully  evaluated  the  magnitude  of the risk,  a system will be
implemented for controls if needed.
