PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information contained in this
prospectus. Because this is a summary, it may not contain all
the information important to you. Therefore, you also should
read the entire prospectus carefully, especially the risks of
investing in our common stock discussed under Risk
Factors, as well as our consolidated financial statements
included in this prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, the
information in this prospectus assumes that the underwriter will
not exercise its option to purchase additional common stock to
cover over-allotments. Any references in this prospectus to
we, us, our, the
holding company or Central Federal
refers to Central Federal Corporation and its consolidated
subsidiaries, unless otherwise specified. Any reference to
CFBank or the bank refers to our
principal operating subsidiary, CFBank.
Who We Are
Central Federal Corporation is a savings and loan holding
company with one primary operating subsidiary, CFBank. CFBank is
a federally-chartered savings association formed in Ohio in
1892. The bank is headquartered in Fairlawn, Ohio, and has
additional full-service offices in Calcutta, Ohio; Columbus,
Ohio; and Wellsville, Ohio. At September 30, 2005 we had
consolidated assets of $157.9 million, net loans of
$107.0 million, total deposits of $120.7 million and
stockholders equity of $17.2 million.
CFBanks principal business consists of attracting deposits
from the general public in its primary market areas and
investing those deposits and other funds generated from
operations and from Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati
(FHLB) advances, primarily in commercial real estate
and business loans and conventional mortgage loans secured by
single-family residences throughout Ohio. The bank also invests
in consumer loans, home equity, multi-family, construction and
land loans and mortgage-backed securities, primarily those
guaranteed or insured by government agencies and other
investment grade securities.
From the time of our mutual-to-stock thrift conversion in 1998
through 2002, we operated as an overcapitalized company
exhibiting limited growth potential and earnings that were well
below industry averages in terms of returns on average assets
and equity. Our board of directors recognized that we needed to
strengthen our management team, move into more rapidly growing
markets and expand into business banking in order to be properly
positioned to deliver long-term shareholder value. We believe
that since the beginning of 2003 we have made significant
strides to achieve those goals.
Adding experienced bankers to our management team and opening
new offices in Fairlawn and Columbus has been expensive in the
short-term, and our level of net interest income has not been
sufficient to cover our increased overhead levels since we
embarked on this strategy. We have undertaken significant
restructuring costs, such as severance costs, termination of our
Employee Stock Option Plan, freezing of our defined benefit plan
and restructuring of our FHLB debt. We believe that we have
largely completed the restructuring of our management team and
balance sheet, and we believe that we are poised to become a
profitable community bank and to continue our growth following
this offering. The capital provided by this offering will enable
us to expand our lending limit and further penetrate our new
markets.
We emphasize personalized service, access to decision makers,
timely response to loan requests and loan processing and the
convenience of telephone banking, corporate cash management and
online internet banking for our depositors.
Our Market Area
Our principal market area for customer loans and deposits
includes the following Ohio counties: Summit County through our
office in Fairlawn, Ohio; Franklin County through our office in
Columbus, Ohio; and Columbiana County through our offices in
Calcutta and Wellsville, Ohio. We originate commercial
and conventional real estate loans and business loans throughout
Ohio.
Historically, our primary market area for customer deposits and
loans was Columbiana County, Ohio, where two of our offices are
located. The East Liverpool-Salem Metropolitan Statistical Area
(MSA), which includes Columbiana County, has a
population in 2005 of 110,000 and a median household income of
$39,000, according to SNL Financial.
1
The Columbiana County market, while stable and important to us,
is experiencing stagnant to slightly declining population
growth, and its median household income is well below the
statewide median of $49,000. However, while not a growth area,
Columbiana County has the
15th highest
level of deposits of the states 88 counties.
When we changed management and the strategic direction of the
bank beginning in 2003, we entered two markets which exhibit
substantially greater growth potential, as well as a far greater
concentration of potential business banking customers. The Akron
MSA, which is served by our Fairlawn office, has an estimated
2005 population of 710,000 and a median household income level
of $52,000. The Columbus MSA is even more attractive, with an
estimated 2005 population of 1.8 million and a median
household income of $54,000. All demographic information has
been obtained from SNL Financial.
In terms of bank deposits as of June 30, 2005 (the most
recent date for which data are available) according to the FDIC,
the East Liverpool-Salem MSA had $2.0 billion in total
deposits. By contrast, the Akron MSA had $9.9 billion and
the Columbus MSA had $28.8 billion. Our Fairlawn office is
in close proximity to the Cleveland MSA, which had
$64.5 billion, the highest level in the state. While we
recognize that we have many well-established competitors in our
new markets, we believe that we will be able to achieve
significant growth in these markets over the next several years.
We also extend our reach by utilizing technology and services to
gather deposits without requiring customers to visit our
offices. Customers may access their accounts through our
website, www.CFBankonline.com, and make deposits through
any of the 814 ATMs in the network to which we belong, through a
local courier service we provide or through the use of check
scanners which can be onsite at a clients office, enabling
immediate recognition of funds.
Our Growth and Profitability Strategy
We provide personalized banking services to satisfy the needs of
our individual and business customers, and we are striving to
position our business for long-term growth and profitability.
Our strategy to achieve growth and profitability has the
following components:
|
|
|
|
|
Management In 2003, we began to put in place
a strong senior management team with extensive banking
experience in the geographical and product markets we serve. We
believe it is unusual for a community bank to have a management
team as experienced as ours. There has been significant industry
consolidation in our markets in recent years, and we believe a
substantial segment of the market is eager to do business with
experienced bankers who provide exemplary service and prompt
decisions. |
|
|
|
Growth Markets With the change in management,
we also adopted an ambitious growth plan to reposition the bank.
In 2003, we began a transition from our historical role as a
thrift with an emphasis on making single family mortgage loans
in Columbiana County to a balanced community bank. As part of
the transition, we have opened additional offices in Franklin
and Summit Counties, Ohio, where higher population and median
income levels offer far greater potential for growth and
profitability. Along with our expansion into growth markets, we
are shifting our focus to more fully serving the more profitable
commercial and commercial real estate loan markets. We are also
enhancing our mortgage loan capabilities. We intend to consider
every reasonable channel to originate loans, including the
internet and other technology. |
|
|
|
Customer Service We intend to differentiate
ourselves from our competitors by providing excellent customer
service, including prompt credit decisions. We provide
personalized banking services, as we strive to meet the
individual financial needs and objectives of our customers and
offer appropriate services to meet those needs and objectives.
We pride ourselves on giving our customers ready access to
decision makers, and we limit the number of accounts served by
each of our officers so that our customers can receive personal
attention, and we can fully develop our business relationship
with each customer. We also provide courier service for
deposits, and we believe that we are a leader in our markets in
utilizing technology to enhance the level of convenience for our
customers. |
|
|
|
Asset Quality Historically, we have had
excellent asset quality, which we will be careful to maintain,
as we expand our lending activities. We have a team of very
experienced lenders, and we believe we have developed a stronger
credit review process than would typically be seen at a
community bank. |
2
|
|
|
|
|
With an increased legal lending limit as a result of this
offering, we plan to significantly increase our loan portfolio
while maintaining superior asset quality through conservative
underwriting practices. Historically, we have experienced a very
low level of charge-offs and past due loans. |
Management Team
Our management team has extensive experience in commercial and
residential real estate lending activities and deep ties to our
markets. Most of our executives have served in leadership
positions in companies that are much larger than we are.
Our Chairman, David C. Vernon, has worked for more than
40 years in banking in our markets. He founded Summit Bank
in Akron in 1991, which operated very successfully until its
acquisition by FirstFederal Financial Services Corp. in 1997.
Mr. Vernon held previous leadership positions with the
Firestone Bank and Bank One Akron NA. On January 1, 2006,
he will retire as Chairman and assume the role of Vice-Chairman.
Mark S. Allio, Vice-Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Central Federal and Vice-Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of the bank, has more than 29 years of banking and
banking-related experience, including service as President and
Chief Executive Officer of Rock Bank in Livonia, Michigan, an
affiliate of Quicken Loans, Inc. He was previously President of
Third Federal Savings, MHC in Cleveland, Ohio, a multi-billion
dollar thrift holding company. On January 1, 2006,
Mr. Allio will assume the role of Chairman, as
Mr. Vernon assumes the role of Vice-Chairman.
Raymond E. Heh, President and Chief Operating Officer of the
bank, has more than 40 years of banking experience in Ohio
and held various executive offices with Bank One Akron NA, over
a period of 18 years, including service as Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer.
Therese A. Liutkus, Chief Financial Officer of Central Federal
and the bank, has more than 19 years of banking and
banking-related experience. She served as Chief Financial
Officer of First Place Financial Corp. in Warren, Ohio and its
subsidiary, First Place Bank, for six years. She is a Certified
Public Accountant.
R. Parker MacDonell, the banks Regional
President Columbus, has more than 18 years of
banking experience, including various positions at Bank One
Columbus NA, most recently as a Senior Vice President.
Eloise L. Mackus, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and
Secretary of Central Federal and the bank, has more than
15 years of banking and banking-related experience,
including private practice as a banking lawyer with firms in
Connecticut and Ohio.
Timothy M. OBrien, Senior Vice President, Mortgage
Operations, of the bank, has more than 11 years of banking and
mortgage experience, including experience with DeepGreen Bank,
Metropolitan Bank & Trust, and Mellon Mortgage Company.
Richard J. ODonnell, President of the banks mortgage
services division, has more than 31 years of banking
experience. Prior to founding his own mortgage company (which we
acquired in 2004 and which now is a division of CFBank), he was

Bank, in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, until its sale to Fifth Third
Bancorp in 1995.
William R. Reed, Senior Credit Manager of the bank, has more
than 30 years of banking experience and served as Senior
Vice President and Senior Credit Officer of FirstMerit Corp. in
Akron for 19 years, where he was also a member of the
Corporate Executive Committee.

RISK FACTORS
You should consider carefully the following risk factors before
deciding whether to invest in our common stock. Our business
could be harmed by any of these risks. The trading price of our
common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you
may lose all or part of your investment. In assessing these
risks you should also refer to the other information contained
in this prospectus, including our financial statements and
related notes.
Risks Related to the Banking Industry
Changes in economic and political conditions could
adversely affect our earnings, as our borrowers ability to
repay loans and the value of the collateral securing our loans
decline.
Our success depends, to a certain extent, upon economic and
political conditions, local and national, as well as
governmental monetary policies. Conditions such as inflation,
recession, unemployment, changes in interest rates, money supply
and other factors beyond our control may adversely affect our
asset quality, deposit levels and loan demand and, therefore,
our earnings. Because we have a significant amount of real
estate loans, decreases in real estate values could adversely
affect the value of property used as collateral. Adverse changes
in the economy may also have a negative effect on the ability of
our borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans, which
would have an adverse impact on our earnings. In addition,
substantially all of our loans are to individuals and businesses
in Ohio. Consequently, any decline in the economy of this market
area could have an adverse impact on our earnings.
Changes in interest rates could adversely affect our
results of operations and financial condition.
Our earnings depend substantially on our interest rate spread,
which is the difference between (i) the rates we earn on
loans, securities and other earning assets and (ii) the
interest rates we pay on deposits and other borrowings. These
rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond our control,
including general economic conditions and the policies of
various governmental and regulatory authorities. As market
interest rates rise, we will have competitive pressures to
increase the rates we pay on deposits, which will result in a
decrease of our net interest income. For additional information,
see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation at page 15.
We operate in a highly regulated environment, and changes
in laws and regulations to which we are subject may adversely
affect our results of operations.
The bank operates in a highly regulated environment and is
subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by
the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
Applicable laws and regulations may change, and there is no
assurance that such changes will not adversely affect our
business. As a holding company, we also are subject to
regulation and oversight by the OTS. Such regulation and
supervision govern the activities in which an institution and
its holding companies may engage and are intended primarily for
the protection of the bank and its depositors. Regulatory
authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their
supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition
of restrictions on the operation of an institution, the
classification of assets by the institution and the adequacy of
an institutions allowance for loan losses. Any change in
such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory
policy, regulations, or legislation, including changes in the
regulations governing savings and loan holding companies, could
have a material impact on the bank, the holding company and our
operations.
Risks Related to Our Business
We operate in an extremely competitive market, and our
business will suffer if we are unable to compete
effectively.
In our market area, the bank encounters significant competition
from other commercial banks, savings and loan associations,
credit unions, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance
companies, securities
5
brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market mutual funds
and other financial institutions. Many of the banks
competitors have substantially greater resources and lending
limits than the bank and may offer services that we do not or
cannot provide. Our profitability depends upon our continued
ability to compete successfully in our market area.
The loss of key members of our senior management team
could adversely affect our business.
We believe that our success depends largely on the efforts and
abilities of our senior management. Their experience and
industry contacts significantly benefit us. The competition for
qualified personnel in the financial services industry is
intense, and the loss of any of our key personnel or an
inability to continue to attract, retain and motivate key
personnel could adversely affect our business. We cannot assure
you that we will be able to retain our existing key personnel or
attract additional qualified personnel.
We have opened new offices, and we have hired a number of
experienced employees, which has reduced our profitability in
the near term.
We opened two new offices in Fairlawn and Columbus, Ohio in 2003
and we have increased our personnel and other costs in
anticipation of growth. We may expand further by opening
additional offices. The expense associated with building and
staffing new offices has significantly increased our noninterest
expense, with compensation and occupancy costs constituting the
largest amount of increased costs. Losses have been incurred
from the new offices as the expenses associated with them are
largely fixed and are typically greater than the income earned
as the offices builds up their customer base. There can be no
assurance that our office expansion will result in increased
earnings, or that it will result in increased earnings within a
reasonable period of time. We expect that the success of our
expansion strategy will depend largely on the ability of our
staff to market the deposit and loan products offered at the
offices.
Our loan portfolio includes loans with a higher risk of
loss, and our non-residential loan portfolio is not
seasoned.
We originate commercial mortgage loans, commercial loans,
consumer loans, and residential mortgage loans primarily within
our market area. Commercial mortgage, commercial, and consumer
loans may expose a lender to greater credit risk than loans
secured by residential real estate because the collateral
securing these loans may not be sold as easily as residential
real estate. These loans also have greater credit risk than
residential real estate for the following reasons:
|
|
|
|
|
Commercial Mortgage Loans. Repayment is dependent upon
income being generated in amounts sufficient to cover operating
expenses and debt service. |
|
|
|
Commercial Loans. Repayment is dependent upon the
successful operation of the borrowers business. |
|
|
|
Consumer Loans. Consumer loans (such as personal lines of
credit) are collateralized, if at all, with assets that may not
provide an adequate source of payment of the loan due to
depreciation, damage, or loss. |
Prior to our new management team joining in 2003, we originated
primarily one-to four-family residential loans. While we believe
that we have adhered to sound underwriting procedures with
regard to our commercial real estate, commercial and consumer
loans, the portfolio has grown rapidly in the last two years.
Typically, unseasoned portfolios exhibit a greater risk of loss.
If our actual loan losses exceed our allowance for loan
losses, our net income will decrease.
Our loan customers may not repay their loans according to their
terms, and the collateral securing the payment of these loans
may be insufficient to pay any remaining loan balance. We may
experience significant loan losses, which could have a material
adverse effect on our operating results. We make various
assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of our loan
portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and
the value of the real estate and other assets serving as
collateral for the repayment of our loans. Because
6
we must use assumptions regarding individual loans and the
economy, our current allowance for loan losses may not be
sufficient to cover actual loan losses, and increases in the
allowance may be necessary. We may need to significantly
increase our provision for losses on loans if one or more of our
larger loans or credit relationships becomes delinquent or if we
continue to expand our commercial real estate and commercial
lending. In addition, federal and state regulators periodically
review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to
increase our provision for loan losses or recognize loan
charge-offs. Material additions to our allowance would
materially decrease our net income. We cannot assure you that
our monitoring procedures and policies will reduce certain
lending risks or that our allowance for loan losses will be
adequate to cover actual losses.
If we foreclose on collateral property and own the
underlying real estate, we may be subject to the increased costs
associated with the ownership of real property, resulting in
reduced revenues.
We may have to foreclose on collateral property to protect our
investment and may thereafter own and operate such property, in
which case we will be exposed to the risks inherent in the
ownership of real estate. The amount that we, as a mortgagee,
may realize after a default is dependent upon factors outside of
our control, including, but not limited to: (i) general or
local economic conditions; (ii) neighborhood values;
(iii) interest rates; (iv) real estate tax rates;
(v) operating expenses of the mortgaged properties;
(vi) supply of and demand for rental units or properties;
(vii) ability to obtain and maintain adequate occupancy of
the properties; (viii) zoning laws; (ix) governmental
rules, regulations and fiscal policies; and (x) acts of
God. Certain expenditures associated with the ownership of real
estate, principally real estate taxes and maintenance costs, may
adversely affect the income from the real estate. Therefore, the
cost of operating a real property may exceed the rental income
earned from such property, and we may have to advance funds in
order to protect our investment, or we may be required to
dispose of the real property at a loss. The foregoing
expenditures and costs could adversely affect our ability to
generate revenues, resulting in reduced levels of profitability.
Environmental liability associated with commercial lending
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
In the course of our business, we may acquire, through
foreclosure, commercial properties securing loans that are in
default. There is a risk that hazardous substances could be
discovered on those properties. In this event, we could be
required to remove the substances from and remediate the
properties at our cost and expense. The cost of removal and
environmental remediation could be substantial. We may not have
adequate remedies against the owners of the properties or other
responsible parties and could find it difficult or impossible to
sell the affected properties. These events could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
operating results.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal
control over financial reporting, we may not be able to
accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, and,
as a result, investors and depositors could lose confidence in
our financial reporting, which could adversely affect our
business, the trading price of our stock and our ability to
attract additional deposits.
Beginning with our annual report for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2007, we will have to include in our annual
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
Commission) a report of our management regarding
internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we
recently have begun to document and evaluate our internal
control over financial reporting in order to satisfy the
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 (the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) and Commission rules
and regulations, which require an annual management report on
our internal control over financial reporting, including, among
other matters, managements assessment of the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting and an attestation
report by our independent auditors addressing these assessments.
Accordingly, management has retained outside consultants to
assist us in (i) assessing and documenting the adequacy of
our internal control over financial reporting,
(ii) improving control processes, where appropriate, and
(iii) verifying through testing that controls are
functioning as documented. If we fail to identify and
7
correct any significant deficiencies in the design or operating
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
or fail to prevent fraud, current and potential stockholders and
depositors could lose confidence in our financial reporting,
which could adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations, the trading price of our stock and
our ability to attract additional deposits.
A breach of information security could negatively affect
our business.
We depend on data processing, communication and information
exchange on a variety of computing platforms and networks and
over the internet. We cannot be certain all of our systems are
entirely free from vulnerability to attack, despite safeguards
we have installed. Additionally, we rely on a variety of
third-party service providers for our data and communications
needs. If information security is breached, information can be
lost or misappropriated, resulting in financial loss or costs to
us or damages to others. These costs or losses could materially
exceed our amount of insurance coverage, if any, which would
adversely affect our business.
Risks Related to this Offering
The price of our common stock may be volatile, which may
result in losses for investors.
The market price for shares of our common stock has been
volatile in the past, and several factors could cause the price
to fluctuate substantially in the future. These factors include:
|
|
|
|
|
announcements of developments related to our business, |
|
|
|
fluctuations in our results of operations, |
|
|
|
sales of substantial amounts of our securities into the
marketplace, |
|
|
|
general conditions in our banking niche or the worldwide economy, |
|
|
|
a shortfall in revenues or earnings compared to securities
analysts expectations, |
|
|
|
lack of an active trading market for the common stock, |
|
|
|
changes in analysts recommendations or
projections, and |
|
|
|
our announcement of new acquisitions or other projects. |
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly
in the future, and these fluctuations may be unrelated to our
performance. General market price declines or market volatility
in the future could adversely affect the price of our common
stock, and the current market price may not be indicative of
future market prices.
Our return on equity is low compared to other companies.
This could hurt the price of our common stock.
Net earnings divided by average equity, known as return on
equity, is a ratio many investors use to compare the
performance of a financial institution to its peers. Our return
on average equity amounted to (8.60%) and (12.34%) in 2004 and
2003, respectively. We expect our return on equity to remain low
due to the increased equity from the offering. Until we can
increase our net interest income and other income, we expect our
return on equity to be below the industry average, which may
negatively impact the value of our stock.
Our common stock is thinly traded, and thus your ability
to sell shares or purchase additional shares of our common stock
will be limited, and the market price at any time may not
reflect true value.
Your ability to sell shares of our common stock or purchase
additional shares largely depends upon the existence of an
active market for the common stock. Our common stock is quoted
on the Nasdaq® Capital Market, but the volume of trades on
any given day is light, and you may be unable to find a buyer
for shares you wish to sell or a seller of additional shares you
wish to purchase. We cannot assure you that an active trading
market for our common stock will develop, or if it develops,
that it will continue. In addition, a fair
8
valuation of the purchase or sales price of a share of common
stock also depends upon active trading, and thus the price you
receive for a thinly traded stock, such as our common stock, may
not reflect its true value.
Future sales or additional issuances of our capital stock
may depress prices of shares of our common stock or otherwise
dilute the book value of shares then outstanding.
Sales of a substantial amount of our capital stock in the public
market or the issuance of a significant number of shares could
adversely affect the market price for shares of our common
stock. As of September 30, 2005, we were authorized to
issue up to 6,000,000 shares of common stock, of which
2,243,662 shares were outstanding, 300,872 shares were
reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted under our
stock option plans and an additional 10,000 shares were
available for granting options or shares of restricted stock
under these plans. We also were authorized to issue up to
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which is
outstanding or reserved for issuance. Accordingly, without
further stockholder approval, we may issue up to 3,445,466
additional shares of common stock and up to
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, which obviously may
affect the market price for shares of our common stock.
Our charter documents, Delaware law and federal
regulations may inhibit a takeover, prevent a transaction you
may favor or limit our growth opportunities, which could cause
the market price of our common stock to decline.
Certain provisions of our charter documents, Delaware law and
federal regulations could have the effect of making it more
difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a
third party from attempting to acquire, control of our company.
In addition, we must obtain approval from the OTS before
acquiring control of any other company.
We may not be able to pay dividends in the future in
accordance with past practice.
We pay a quarterly dividend to stockholders. However, we are
dependent primarily upon the bank for our earnings and funds to
pay dividends on our common stock. The payment of dividends also
is subject to legal and regulatory restrictions. Any payment of
dividends in the future will depend, in large part, on the
banks earnings, capital requirements, financial condition
and other factors considered relevant by our Board of Directors
(the Board).
Management has discretionary use of the proceeds from this
offering, and you may not agree with the uses we choose to make
of the offering proceeds.
Management will have broad discretion to use the net proceeds we
receive from this offering for general corporate purposes. We
have not specified uses of the net proceeds. All determinations
concerning the use of the net proceeds will be made by our
management. Accordingly, there is a greater degree of
uncertainty concerning the return on any investments we may
make, than would be the case if specific investments were
identified, and there is no assurance that you will agree with
the uses we choose to make of these net proceeds.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements
which may be identified by the use of such words as
may, believe, expect,
anticipate, should, plan,
estimate, predict, continue,
and potential or the negative of these terms or
other comparable terminology. Examples of forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, estimates with
respect to our financial condition, results of operations and
business that are subject to various factors which could cause
actual results to differ materially from these estimates. These
factors include, but are not limited to (i) general and
local economic conditions, (ii) changes in interest rates,
deposit flows, demand for mortgages and other loans, real estate
values, and competition, (iii) changes in accounting
principles, policies, or guidelines, (iv) changes in
legislation or regulation; and (v) other economic,
competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors
affecting our operations, pricing, products, and services.
Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this prospectus
and in any other public statements we make may turn out to be
wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might
make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties.
Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. We
do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements
after the date of this prospectus or to conform these statements
to actual results.
10
USE OF PROCEEDS
We anticipate that our net proceeds from the sale of our common
stock in this offering, assuming the underwriter does not
exercise its option to cover over-allotments, will be
approximately $14.4 million, after deducting offering
expenses and underwriting commissions, estimated to be
$1.6 million.
We intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate
purposes. We also may expand our commercial lending operations.
Although we may explore acquisitions, we are not presently
engaged in any negotiations, and we have no specific acquisition
plans or objectives. Management has not yet determined the
amount of proceeds to be used for each purpose, or the priority
of purposes. Pending use of proceeds for these purposes, it is
likely they will be invested in short-term investment securities.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive cash
dividends when and if declared by the Board from funds legally
available for that purpose. Our ability to pay cash dividends is
limited to an amount equal to the surplus (i.e., the
excess of our net assets over paid-in-capital) or, if there is
no surplus, our net earnings for the current and/or immediately
preceding fiscal year. The primary source of funds for any cash
dividends payable to our stockholders would be the dividends
received from CFBank. The payment of cash dividends by the bank
is determined by the Board (which also constitutes the
banks board of directors) and is dependent upon a number
of factors, including the banks capital requirements,
applicable regulatory limitations, results of operations and
financial condition. See Regulation and Supervision
and Description of Our Common Stock for a
description of the restrictions on our payment of dividends
under federal banking laws and the Delaware General Corporation
Law.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
Central Federal Corporation (formerly known as Grand Central
Financial Corp.) was formed as a savings and loan holding
company as a result of the conversion of CFBank (formerly known
as Central Federal Savings and Loan Association of
Wellsville and, more recently as Central Federal Bank) from a
federally-chartered mutual savings and loan association to a
federally-chartered stock savings and loan association in
December of 1998.
We are a community-oriented financial institution offering a
variety of financial services to meet the needs of the
communities it serves. We attract deposits from the general
public and use such deposits, together with borrowings and other
funds, primarily to originate commercial and commercial real
estate loans, single-family and multi-family residential
mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit.
Our results of operations are dependent primarily on net
interest income, which is the difference (spread)
between the interest income earned on loans and securities and
the cost of funds, consisting of interest paid on deposits and
borrowed funds. The interest rate spread is affected by
regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence
interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows. Our net income is
also affected by, among other things, loan fee income,
provisions for loan losses, service charges, gains on loan
sales, operating expenses and franchise and income taxes. Our
operating expenses principally consist of employee compensation
and benefits, occupancy and other general and administrative
expenses. Our results of operations are significantly affected
by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly
changes in market interest rates, government policies and
actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable
laws, regulations or government policies may also materially
impact us.
Critical Accounting Policies
We follow financial accounting and reporting policies that are
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States of America and conform to general practices
within the banking industry. These policies are presented in
Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements.
Some of these accounting policies are considered to be critical
accounting policies, which are those policies that require
managements most difficult, subjective or complex
judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about
the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Application
of assumptions different than those used by management could
result in material changes in our financial position or results
of operations. Management believes that the judgments, estimates
and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements are appropriate given the factual
circumstances at the time.
We have identified accounting polices that are critical
accounting policies and an understanding of these policies is
necessary to understand our financial statements. One critical
accounting policy relates to determining the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses. Our Allowance for Loan Losses Policy
provides a thorough, disciplined and consistently applied
process that incorporates managements current judgments
about the credit quality of the loan portfolio into
determination of the allowance for loan losses in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and supervisory
guidance. 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. Management believes that an adequate allowance for loan
losses has been established. Additional information regarding
this policy is included in the section below captioned
Provision for Loan Losses and in Notes 1 and 4
to our audited consolidated financial statements.
Another critical accounting policy relates to the valuation of
the deferred tax asset for net operating losses. Net operating
losses totaling $2.8 million and $2.5 million expire
in 2023 and 2024, respectively. No valuation allowance has been
recorded against the deferred tax asset for net operating losses
because the benefit is more likely than not to be realized. As
we continue our strategy to expand into business financial
services and focus on growth, the resultant increase in
interest-earning assets is expected to increase
19
profitability. Additional information is included in
Notes 1 and 14 to our audited consolidated financial
statements.
Another critical accounting policy relates to the valuation of
goodwill and the assessment of impairment. Goodwill is not
subject to amortization and is tested for impairment annually or
more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the asset might be impaired. Goodwill totaling
$1.7 million resulted from the acquisition of Reserve
Mortgage Services, Inc. (Reserve) in 2004 and
represented the excess of the purchase price over the fair value
of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable
intangible assets. We expected Reserves performance to be
accretive to earnings, but lower than projected loan origination
and sales volumes have resulted in losses. Management does not
believe that volumes will achieve a sufficient level to support
the recorded goodwill. As a result, we recorded non-cash
after-tax impairment loss of $1.9 million or $.86 per
diluted share in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 to
write-off the $1.7 million value of goodwill and $217,000
in other intangible assets related to the October 2004
acquisition. The decision to recognize the impairment loss was
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets which requires recognition of an
impairment loss when the carrying amount of the asset is not
recoverable and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
Additional information is included in Notes 1, 2 and 7 to
our audited consolidated financial statements.
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2005
and December 31, 2004
General. Total assets at December 31, 2004 included
$30.0 million in overnight investments at a positive spread
to the FHLB advances used to fund the investment. As short term
interest rates increased and the spread between the investment
and borrowing declined, the cash was withdrawn to repay the
advances during the first quarter of 2005. The
$13.1 million decline in total assets to
$157.9 million at September 30, 2005 from
$171.0 million at December 31, 2004 was the result of
the $30.0 million reduction in cash and borrowings
associated with the arbitrage transaction and the
$2.0 million pre-tax impairment charge discussed above,
offset by $12.2 million growth in commercial loans and
$8.0 million growth in home equity lines of credit. Loan
growth was funded by $19.1 million in deposit growth.
Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents
totaled $2.3 million at September 30, 2005, a decline
of $30.4 million from $32.7 million at
December 31, 2004 due to the use of cash to repay FHLB
advances as discussed above.
Securities. Securities available for sale totaled
$33.3 million at September 30, 2005, an increase of
$19.8 million from $13.5 million at December 31,
2004 due to a securitization transaction, discussed below.
Loans. Loans totaled $107.0 million at
September 30, 2005 compared to $108.1 million at
December 31, 2004. Single-family residential loan balances
declined $19.2 million and totaled $23.4 million at
September 30, 2005 due to the securitization discussed
below. Not considering the securitization transaction, overall
loan balances increased 16.1%. Commercial loan balances, which
include multi-family and commercial real estate loans, increased
$12.2 million and totaled $64.9 million at
September 30, 2005 compared to $52.7 million at
December 31, 2004 as we continued to focus on these lending
types as part of its strategic growth plan. Total consumer loan
balances increased $6.2 million due to $8.0 million
growth in home equity lines of credit offset by a
$2.1 million decline in auto loan balances.
In a transaction with Freddie Mac in the second quarter of 2005,
we securitized single-family residential mortgage loans held in
its portfolio with an outstanding principal balance of
$18.6 million. The securitization increased liquidity as
the securities retained are readily marketable, eliminated
credit risk on the loans and reduced the banks risk-based
capital requirement.
Deposits. Deposits increased $19.1 million or 18.8%
during the first nine months of 2005 and totaled
$120.7 million at September 30, 2005 compared to
$101.6 million at December 31, 2004. The increase was
due to growth of $17.7 million in certificate of deposit
accounts and $4.5 million in demand deposit accounts,
largely checking accounts. Traditional savings account balances
declined $3.1 million.
20
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. FHLB advances
totaled $13.9 million at September 30, 2005, a decline
of $27.3 million from $41.2 million at
December 31, 2004 due to repayment of borrowings associated
with the arbitrage transaction, discussed above.
Other Borrowings. Other borrowings, which totaled
$2.2 million at December 31, 2004 and represented the
outstanding balance on a revolving line of credit with an
unaffiliated bank acquired in the Reserve acquisition, were
repaid during the quarter ended March 31, 2005.
Shareholders Equity. Total shareholders
equity declined $2.3 million during the first nine months
of 2005 and totaled $17.2 million at September 30,
2005 compared to $19.5 million at December 31, 2004
due to the net loss and dividends during the period. The decline
was offset by the $350,000 after tax unrealized gain on the
securities retained in the securitization and $375,000 in
proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Our capital ratio
was 10.9% at September 30, 2005 compared to 11.4% at
December 31, 2004.
OTS regulations require savings institutions to maintain certain
minimum levels of regulatory capital. Additionally, the
regulations establish a framework for the classification of
savings institutions into five categories: well-capitalized,
adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. Generally, an
institution is considered well-capitalized if it has a core
(Tier 1) capital ratio of at least 5.0% (based on adjusted
total assets); a core (Tier 1) risk-based capital ratio of
a least 6.0%; and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least
10.0%. Continued operating losses may require us to infuse
additional capital into the bank.
Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2004
and December 31, 2003
General. Total assets increased $64.0 million, or
59.8% during 2004 and totaled $171.0 million at
December 31, 2004 compared to $107.0 million at
December 31, 2003 primarily due to growth in the commercial
and multi-family loan portfolios and short term cash balances.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents
totaled $32.7 million at December 31, 2004, an
increase of $23.8 million from $8.9 million at
December 31, 2003. The increase was primarily in funds from
overnight borrowings, which were invested in short term cash
investments available to fund loans.
Securities. Securities available for sale declined
$13.6 million during the year and totaled
$13.5 million at December 31, 2004 compared to
$27.1 million at December 31, 2003. Cash flows from
maturities and sales were generally invested in short term cash
investments in anticipation of commercial loan growth.
Loans. Loans, net increased $50.1 million, or 86.4%
during 2004 and totaled $108.1 million at December 31,
2004 compared to $58.0 million at December 31, 2003
primarily due to growth in commercial, commercial real estate
and multi-family mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, growth
in single-family mortgage loan balances. Commercial, commercial
real estate and multi-family mortgage loan balances increased
$42.3 million and totaled $52.7 million at
December 31, 2004 compared to $10.4 million at
December 31, 2003 as we continued to focus on business
banking. Single-family mortgage loan balances increased
$6.6 million during the year and totaled $41.4 million
at December 31, 2004 compared to $34.8 million at
December 31, 2003.
Deposits. Deposits increased $28.2 million, or 38.4%
during 2004 and totaled $101.6 million at December 31,
2004 compared to $73.4 million at December 31, 2003.
The increase was due to growth of $14.6 million in money
market accounts, $9.6 million in certificate of deposit
accounts and $4.4 million in checking accounts, primarily
commercial checking accounts offset by a $383,000 decline in
savings accounts. The growth in deposits was primarily the
result of our focus on commercial customer relationships and our
expansion into new markets. The growth in certificate of deposit
accounts included $6.1 million in brokered deposits. We
expect to continue to use brokered deposits as a source of
funding depending on market conditions, pricing and funding
needs.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. FHLB advances
increased $33.7 million during 2004 and totaled
$41.2 million at December 31, 2004 compared to
$7.5 million at December 31, 2003 as advances were
used to fund loan growth and short term cash investments. Fixed
rate advances for terms of one through 4.5 years
21
totaling $12.3 million were drawn primarily during the
first six months of 2004 to fund loans at low borrowing interest
rates and protect our interest rate risk position as market
interest rates increased.
Other Borrowings. Other borrowings totaled
$2.2 million at December 31, 2004 and represent the
outstanding balance on a revolving line of credit with an
unaffiliated bank, acquired in the Reserve acquisition. There
were no other borrowings at December 31, 2003.
Subordinated Debentures. Subordinated debentures totaled
$5.2 million at year-end 2004 and 2003 and were issued by
us in 2003 in exchange for the proceeds of a $5.0 million
trust preferred securities offering issued by a trust formed by
us. The proceeds of the offering are available to provide
capital for CFBank to support growth.
Shareholders Equity. Total shareholders
equity declined 1.8% during 2004 and totaled $19.5 million
at December 31, 2004 compared to $19.9 million at
December 31, 2003 primarily due to the net loss and
dividends during the year offset by the issuance of additional
capital in the acquisition of Reserve in October 2004. Capital
levels remained strong as we continued to leverage our capital
through growth. Our capital ratio totaled 11.4% at
December 31, 2004 compared to 18.6% at December 31,
2003. OTS regulations require savings institutions to maintain
certain minimum levels of regulatory capital, described above.
The bank had capital ratios above the well-capitalized levels at
December 31, 2004 and 2003.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months
Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004
General. We incurred a net loss for the quarter ended
September 30, 2005 of $2.1 million or $.94 per
diluted share compared to a net loss of $665,000 or
$.33 per diluted share for the quarter ended
September 30, 2004. The current year quarter included a
$1.9 million, or $0.86 per diluted share impairment
loss discussed above. Not including the impairment loss, the
current year quarter loss totaled $175,000 or $.08 per
diluted share, a 74% improvement from the prior year period. The
current period loss (excluding the impairment loss) was due to
$57,000 net operating losses of the banks mortgage
services division, the expense associated with increasing the
reserve for loan losses and operating costs necessary to support
Companys growth plan. Profitability during the first nine
months of 2005 has been negatively impacted by Reserves
pretax operating losses. We expected Reserves performance
to be accretive to earnings, but lower than projected loan
origination and sales volumes have resulted in losses. We
recorded a non-cash after-tax impairment loss of
$1.9 million or $0.86 per diluted share in the quarter
ended September 30, 2005 to write-off the value of goodwill
and other intangible assets related to the October 2004
acquisition. Goodwill totaling $1.7 million represented the
excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired
tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible
assets. Other intangible assets with an unamortized balance of
$217,000 consisted of prior owner intangibles arising from the
acquisition. The decision to recognize the impairment loss was
in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets which requires recognition of
an impairment loss when the carrying amount of the asset is not
recoverable and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
Recognition of the impairment loss had no effect on the
regulatory capital ratios of CFBank or our tangible book value.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased 16.5%
to $1.2 million for the quarter ended September 30,
2005 from $1.1 million in the prior year quarter due to
growth in assets in accordance with our growth plan. Both the
volume and yield on interest-earning assets increased in the
third quarter of 2005 compared to the prior year quarter. The
resultant growth in interest income was partially offset by
increased interest expense related to funding loan growth due to
an increase in volume and cost of interest-bearing liabilities
during the current year quarter.
Average interest earning assets increased $14.1 million or
11.0% to $142.8 million in the third quarter of 2005 from
$128.7 million in the third quarter of 2004 due to loan
growth pursuant to our strategy to expand into business banking
in the Fairlawn and Columbus, Ohio markets. The yield on
interest earning assets increased 112 basis points to 6.15%
in the third quarter of 2005 from 5.03% in the prior year
quarter reflecting higher yields on commercial, commercial real
estate and multi-family loans. Interest income increased
$570,000 or 35.3% to $2.2 million in the third quarter of
2005 from $1.6 million in the prior year quarter due to
growth in interest income on loans, which increased $437,000 or
34.0% to $1.7 million for the quarter ended
22
September 30, 2005 from $1.3 million in the prior year
quarter. Average loan balances increased $16.2 million, or
18.1% to $105.6 million in the third quarter of 2005 from
$89.4 million in the prior year quarter and the average
yield on loans increased 77 basis points to 6.53% in the
third quarter of 2005 from 5.76% in the prior year quarter due
to commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family mortgage
loan growth and an increase in yields on home equity lines of
credit caused by the increase in short-term market interest
rates and the resultant increase in the prime rate.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased
$14.5 million or 12.3% to $132.4 million in the third
quarter of 2005 from $117.9 million in the third quarter of
2004 due to growth in deposits used to fund loan growth. The
average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased
99 basis points or 51.8% to 2.90% in the third quarter of
2005 from 1.91% in the third quarter of 2004 primarily due to
higher short-term interest rates in the current year quarter
which resulted in both higher deposit and borrowing costs.
Interest expense on deposits increased $398,000 or 110.6% to
$758,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 from
$360,000 in the prior year quarter. Average deposit balances
increased $31.2 million or 38.0% to $113.3 million in
the quarter ended September 30, 2005 from
$82.1 million in the prior year quarter due to an increase
in certificate of deposit and checking account balances. The
average cost of deposits increased 93 basis points to 2.68%
in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 from 1.75% in the
prior year quarter. Interest expense on FHLB advances and other
debt, including subordinated debentures, declined $2,000 to
$202,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 from
$204,000 in the prior year quarter due to a decline in average
borrowing balances of $16.7 million in the quarter ended
September 30, 2005 to $19.1 million compared to
$35.8 million in the prior year quarter offset by a
195 basis point increase in borrowing costs to 4.23% in the
third quarter of 2005 from 2.28% in the prior year quarter.
Net interest margin increased 18 basis points to 3.45% for
the quarter ended September 30, 2005 compared to 3.27% in
the prior year quarter.
Provision for Loan Losses. Management analyzes the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses regularly through
reviews of the performance of the loan portfolio considering
economic conditions, changes in interest rates and the effect of
such changes on real estate values and changes in the
composition of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses
is established through a provision for loan losses based on
managements evaluation of the risk in its loan portfolio.
Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which
full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers,
among other matters, the estimated fair value of the underlying
collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss
experience, changes in the size and growth of the loan portfolio
and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an
adequate loan loss allowance. Future additions to the allowance
for loan losses will be dependent on these factors.
Based on managements review, the provision for loan losses
declined $246,000 to $50,000 in the third quarter of 2005 from
$296,000 in the prior year quarter due to a $5.1 million
decline in commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family
loan balances during the quarter ended September 30, 2005
compared to growth of $15.1 million during the prior year
quarter. The provision for loan losses during the current year
quarter primarily represents additional reserves on our mortgage
portfolio, which incurred $65,000 in write-offs during the
quarter ended September 30, 2005. At September 30,
2005, the allowance for loan losses represented 1.1% of total
loans compared to .8% at September 30, 2004. Nonperforming
loans, all of which are nonaccrual loans, increased $320,000 to
$606,000 or .6% of total loans at September 30, 2005
compared to $286,000 or .3% of total loans at December 31,
2004 due to an increase in delinquent single-family mortgage
loans. More than 97% of the nonaccrual loan balances are secured
by single-family homes in our primary market area. Management
believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb
probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio at
September 30, 2005, however future additions to the
allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic
conditions and the factors discussed in the previous paragraph.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $105,000
to $161,000 in the third quarter of 2005 from $56,000 in the
third quarter of 2004 due to increased gains on sales of loans
in the current year quarter and losses on security sales in the
prior year quarter which were not repeated in the current
period. Gains on
23
sales of loans increased $35,000 to $54,000 in the current year
quarter from $19,000 in the prior year period due to increased
mortgage originations and sales. We sell loans on a servicing
released basis.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense, excluding the
impairment loss on goodwill and intangible assets, decreased
$156,000 to $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2005 from
$1.8 million in the prior year period which included
approximately $320,000 related to employee severance expenses,
post-retirement life insurance benefits associated with
bank-owned life insurance and expenses recognized in connection
with the servicing of loans and internal operating account
write-offs. Operating costs of Reserve totaled $185,000 during
the current year quarter compared to none in the prior year
period ended September 30, 2004, as the acquisition of
Reserve was completed in October 2004.
Income Taxes. The income tax benefit associated with the
pretax loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2005
totaled $237,000 compared to a $355,000 tax benefit in the prior
year quarter. The goodwill impairment loss recognized in the
current year quarter was not deductible for tax purposes.
Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Nine Months
Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004
General. We incurred a net loss for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 of $2.6 million or $1.19 per
diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million or
$.61 per diluted share for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004. The current year period included a
$1.9 million, or $.86 per diluted share impairment
loss discussed above. Not including the impairment loss, the
current year period loss totaled $734,000 or $.33 per
diluted share, a 40% improvement from the prior year period. The
current period loss (excluding the impairment loss) was due to
$174,000 net operating losses of the banks mortgage
services division, the expense associated with increasing the
reserve for loan losses and operating costs necessary to support
our growth plan.
Net Interest Income. The tables below titled
Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields and
Rate/ Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income provide
important information on factors impacting net interest income
and should be read in conjunction with this discussion of net
interest income.
Net interest income increased 27.4% to $3.6 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $2.9 million
in the prior year period due to growth in assets in accordance
with our growth plan. Both the volume and yield on
interest-earning assets increased in the first nine months of
2005 compared to the prior year period. The resultant growth in
interest income was partially offset by increased interest
expense related to funding loan growth due to an increase in
volume and cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the current
year period.
Average interest earning assets increased $30.7 million or
27.2% to $143.7 million in the first nine months of 2005
from $113.0 million in the prior year period due to loan
growth pursuant to our strategy to expand into business banking
services in the Fairlawn and Columbus, Ohio markets. The yield
on interest earning assets increased 74 basis points to
5.78% in the first nine months of 2005 from 5.04% in the prior
year period reflecting higher yields on commercial, commercial
real estate and multi-family loans. Interest income increased
$1.9 million or 46.1% to $6.2 million in the first
nine months of 2005 from $4.3 million in the prior year
period due to growth in interest income on loans, which
increased $2.0 million or 58.5% to $5.3 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from
$3.3 million in the prior year period. Average loan
balances increased $37.6 million, or 50.5% to
$112.0 million in the first nine months of 2005 from
$74.4 million in the prior year period and the average
yield on loans increased 32 basis points to 6.28% in the
first nine months of 2005 from 5.96% in the prior year period
due to commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family
mortgage loan growth and an increase in yields on home equity
lines of credit caused by the increase in short-term market
interest rates and the resultant increase in the prime rate.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased
$30.7 million or 30.1% to $132.6 million in the first
nine months of 2005 from $101.9 million in the prior year
period due to growth in deposits. The average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities increased 76 basis points or
41.3% to 2.60% in the first nine months of 2005 from 1.84% in
prior year period primarily due to higher short-term interest
rates in the current year period which resulted in both higher
deposit and borrowing costs. Interest expense on deposits
increased $946,000 or 95.3%
24
to $1.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 from $1.0 million in the prior year
period. Average deposit balances increased $31.9 million or
41.9% to $108.1 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 from $76.2 million in the prior
year period due to an increase in certificate of deposit and
checking account balances. The average cost of deposits
increased 65 basis points to 2.39% in the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 from 1.74% in the prior year. Interest
expense on FHLB advances and other debt, including subordinated
debentures increased $234,000 to $646,000 in the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 from $412,000 in the prior year
period due to a 139 basis point increase in borrowing costs
to 3.53% in the first nine months of 2005 from 2.14% in the
prior year period.
Net interest margin was 3.38% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, unchanged from the prior year period.
Provision for Loan Losses. Based on managements
review of the factors and market conditions discussed above, the
provision for loan losses increased $36,000 to $402,000 in the
first nine months of 2005 from $366,000 in the prior year
period. The provision for loan losses reflects growth in
commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family loans and
additional reserves on our mortgage portfolio in the current
year period as discussed previously.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $391,000
or 138.7% to $673,000 in the first nine months of 2005 from
$282,000 in the prior year period due to increased mortgage
originations and sales which resulted in $361,000 in gains on
sales of loans in the nine months ended September 30, 2005,
a $298,000 increase from $63,000 in the prior year period.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense excluding the
impairment loss on goodwill and intangible assets increased
$446,000 to $5.1 million in the first nine months of 2005
from $4.7 million in the prior year period which included
approximately $320,000 related to employee severance expenses,
post-retirement life insurance benefits associated with bank
owned life insurance and expenses recognized in connection with
the servicing of loans and internal operating account
write-offs. Operating costs of Reserve totaled $681,000 during
the current year period. As the acquisition of Reserve was
completed in October 2004, there were no operating costs in the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2004.
Income Taxes. The income tax benefit associated with the
pretax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2005
totaled $547,000 compared to a $683,000 tax benefit in the prior
year period. The goodwill impairment loss recognized in the
current year period was not deductible for tax purposes.
Comparison of Results of Operations for 2004 and 2003
General. We incurred a net loss of $1.7 million or
$.82 per diluted share in 2004, a 30.0% improvement from
the net loss of $2.4 million or $1.31 per diluted
share in 2003 primarily due to higher net interest income offset
by additional provision for loan losses, a decline in gains on
loan sales and increased noninterest expense.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is a significant
component of our net income, and consists of the difference
between interest income generated on interest-earning assets and
interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Net
interest income is primarily affected by the volumes, interest
rates and composition of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. The tables below titled
Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields and
Rate/ Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income provide
important information on factors impacting net interest income
and should be read in conjunction with this discussion of net
interest income.
Net interest income totaled $4.0 million in 2004 compared
to $1.9 million in 2003. Net interest income in 2003
included a $1.3 million pre-tax prepayment penalty incurred
in the repayment of long-term, fixed-rate FHLB advances,
discussed below. Not including this prior year charge, net
interest income increased 25.5% in 2004 compared to the 2003.
The improvement in net interest income was due to the growth in
assets, primarily commercial, commercial real estate and
multi-family mortgage loans in accordance with our growth
strategy and a reduction in the cost of borrowings in 2004 due
to payoff of the FHLB advances, noted above, and lower market
interest rates.
25
Interest income increased $709,000 or 13.0% to $6.1 million
in 2004, compared to $5.4 million in 2003, primarily due to
increased income on loans and short term cash investments offset
by a decline in income on securities. Interest income on loans
increased $652,000, or 15.5% in 2004 to $4.9 million,
compared to $4.2 million in 2003, primarily due to growth
in loan balances offset by lower yields on loans. Average loan
balances increased $24.5 million and totaled
$81.9 million in 2004 compared to $57.4 million in
2003 primarily due to loan growth pursuant to our strategy to
expand into business banking in the Fairlawn and Columbus, Ohio
markets. Average loan yields declined 139 basis points to
5.93% in 2004 compared to 7.32% in 2003 due to growth in
commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family mortgage
loans, which are primarily adjustable rate loans at lower rates
than single-family mortgage loans, which comprised 59.6% of the
loan portfolio in 2003 compared to 37.9% in 2004. Interest
income on federal funds sold and other earning assets totaled
$367,000 in 2004 and increased $215,000, or 141.4% from $152,000
in 2003 due to an increase in both the average balance and yield
of other earning assets. The average balance of other earning
assets increased $4.9 million and totaled
$17.3 million in 2004 compared to $12.4 million in
2003 as we maintained short term cash balances in anticipation
of loan growth. The yield on other earning assets increased
90 basis points to 2.12% in 2004 from 1.22% in 2003 as
market interest rates increased during 2004. Interest income on
securities declined $169,000 or 18.0% and totaled $770,000 in
2004 compared to $939,000 in 2003 primarily due to a decline in
the average balance of securities. The average balance of
securities declined $4.1 million and totaled
$19.6 million in 2004 compared to $23.7 million in
2003 due to cash flows from maturities and sales of securities
generally invested in short term cash investments in
anticipation of loan growth. The yield on securities was 4.01%
in 2004 compared to 4.02% in 2003. The average balance of
interest-earning assets increased $25.4 million and the
average yield of interest-earning assets declined 59 basis
points during 2004.
Interest expense, not including the $1.3 million prepayment
penalty, decreased $102,000 or 4.5% to $2.1 million in 2004
compared to $2.2 million in 2003 due to a decline in
interest expense on deposits offset by an increase in interest
expense on borrowings. Interest expense on deposits decreased
$134,000 or 8.5% to $1.4 million in 2004 from
$1.6 million in 2003 due to a decline in the cost of
deposits offset by an increase in the deposit balances. The
average cost of deposits declined 35 basis points to 1.79%
in 2004 from 2.14% in 2003. Average deposit balances increased
$6.9 million to $80.3 million in 2004 from
$73.4 million in 2003 primarily due to our success in
building deposit relationships with business loan customers.
Interest expense on FHLB advances and other borrowings,
including subordinated debentures, increased $32,000 or 4.7% to
$713,000 in 2004 from $681,000 in 2003, not including the
$1.3 million prepayment penalty, due to increased
borrowings offset by a decline in the average cost of
borrowings. The average balance of FHLB advances and other
borrowings increased $19.1 million to $31.3 million in
2004 from $12.2 million in 2003 as borrowings were used to
fund loan growth and short term cash investments. The average
cost of FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased
331 basis points to 2.28% in 2004 from 5.59% in 2003
primarily due to payoff of long- term, fixed-rate FHLB advances
in 2003. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities
increased $25.9 million and the average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities declined 70 basis points in
2004. Net interest margin declined one basis point from 3.28% in
2003 to 3.27% in 2004.
Provision for Loan Losses. Based on managements
review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the
provision for loan losses totaled $646,000 in 2004, an increase
of $544,000 from $102,000 in 2003. Our strategy to expand into
business financial services and the significant growth in
commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family mortgage
loans that resulted from that strategy in 2004 required an
increase in the provision and allowance for loan losses related
to these loan types. At December 31, 2004, the allowance
for commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family mortgage
loans totaled $862,000, an increase of $762,000 from $100,000 at
December 31, 2003 as these loan types grew from 17.8% of
the total loan portfolio at year-end 2003 to 48.3% at year-end
2004. 88.4% of the allowance was allocated to these loan types
at December 31, 2004, as they tend to be larger balance,
higher risk loans than single-family residential mortgages,
where we have experienced low historical loss rates. At
December 31, 2004, the allowance for loan losses
represented 0.90% of total loans compared to 0.71% at
December 31, 2003. Further, nonperforming loans, all of
which are nonaccrual loans, were $286,000 at December 31,
2004 and $741,000 at December 31, 2003. At
December 31, 2004, nonaccrual loans represented 0.3% of
total loans, compared to 1.3% at December 31, 2003. The
decline in nonaccrual loans was principally due to our
acquisition of properties
26
through the foreclosure process. More than 96% of the nonaccrual
loan balances are secured by single-family homes in our primary
market area.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income declined $219,000
or 29.0% to $537,000 in 2004, compared to $756,000 in 2003,
primarily due to losses on security sales and decreased gains on
sales of loans offset by increased loan servicing fees. Net
losses on sales of securities, which totaled $55,000 in 2004
compared to gains of $42,000 in 2003, were primarily from sales
of fixed-rate debt securities. Gains on sales of loans totaled
$222,000 in 2004, a decline of $207,000 or 48.3% from $429,000
during 2003 due to decreased mortgage originations and sales as
market mortgage interest rates increased and customer
refinancing slowed during the current year. Net loan servicing
fee income totaled $62,000 in 2004, an increase of $163,000 from
a net loss of $101,000 in 2003, primarily a result of slower
mortgage loan prepayments as market interest rates increased in
2004.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased
$490,000 or 8.3% and totaled $6.4 million in 2004 compared
to $5.9 million in 2003 primarily due to a full year of
operating costs related to staffing, improved technology and
expansion to new locations in Fairlawn and Columbus, including
data processing, occupancy, depreciation and other expenses.
Noninterest expense in 2004 also included $106,500 in legal and
professional fees related to a proposed reverse stock split and
$412,000 in expenses related to employee severance,
post-retirement life insurance benefits associated with bank
owned life insurance, charges recognized in connection with the
servicing of loans and internal operating account write-offs.
Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 included
$1.6 million in salaries and benefits related to
restructuring of employee benefit plans and payments on
agreements with former executives.
Income Taxes. The income tax benefit associated with the
lower net loss in 2004 totaled $872,000 compared to $988,000 in
2003.

Rate/ Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income. The
following table presents the dollar amount of changes in
interest income and interest expense for major components of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It
distinguishes between the increase and decrease related to
changes in balances and/or changes in interest rates. For each
category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to
(i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied
by the prior rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes
in rate multiplied by prior volume). For purposes of
29
this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which
cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately to the
change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
In general terms, liquidity is a measurement of our ability to
meet its cash needs. Our objective in liquidity management is to
maintain the ability to meet loan commitments, purchase
securities or to repay deposits and other liabilities in
accordance with their terms without an adverse impact on current
or future earnings. Our principal sources of funds are deposits,
amortization and prepayments of loans, maturities, sales and
principal receipts of securities available for sale, borrowings
and operations. While maturities and scheduled amortization of
loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan
prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates,
economic conditions and competition.
The bank is required by regulation to maintain sufficient
liquidity to ensure its safe and sound operation. Thus, adequate
liquidity may vary depending on the banks overall
asset/liability structure, market conditions, the activities of
competitors and the requirements of its own deposit and loan
customers. Management believes that the banks liquidity is
sufficient.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term
responsibility of management. We adjust our investments in
liquid assets, primarily cash, short-term investments and other
assets that are widely traded in the secondary market, based on
managements assessment of expected loan demand, expected
deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and
securities and the objective of its asset/liability management
program. In addition to its liquid assets, we have other sources
of liquidity available including, but not limited to access to
advances from the FHLB, use of brokered deposits and the ability
to obtain deposits by offering above-market interest rates.
The bank relies primarily on competitive rates, customer service
and relationships with customers to retain deposits. Based on
the banks experience with deposit retention and current
retention strategies, Management believes that, although it is
not possible to predict future terms and conditions upon
renewal, a significant portion of such deposits will remain with
the bank.
30
At September 30, 2005, the bank exceeded all of its
regulatory capital requirements to be considered
well-capitalized with a Tier 1 capital level of
$12.2 million, or 7.8% of adjusted total assets, which
exceeds the required level of $7.8 million, or 5.0%;
Tier 1 risk-based capital level of $12.2 million, or
10.4% of risk-weighted assets, which exceeds the required level
of $7.0 million, or 6.0%; and risk-based capital of
$13.4 million, or 11.5% of risk-weighted assets, which
exceeds the required level of $11.7 million, or 10.0%.
Continued operating losses may require us to infuse additional
capital into the bank.
Impact of Inflation
The financial statements and related data presented herein have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, which presently require us to measure financial
position and results of operations primarily in terms of
historical dollars. Changes in the relative value of money due
to inflation are generally not considered. In managements
opinion, changes in interest rates affect our financial
condition to a far greater degree than change in the inflation
rate. While interest rates are generally influenced by changes
in the inflation rate, they do not move concurrently. Rather,
interest rate volatility is based on changes in the expected
rate of inflation, as well as changes in monetary and fiscal
policy. A financial institutions ability to be relatively
unaffected by changes in interest rates is a good indicator of
its ability to perform in a volatile economic environment. In an
effort to protect itself from the effects of interest rate
volatility, we review our interest rate risk position
frequently, monitoring our exposure and taking necessary steps
to minimize any detrimental effects on our profitability.
31
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market
prices and interest rates. We have not engaged in and,
accordingly, have no risk related to trading accounts,
commodities, foreign exchange, hedging activities, interest rate
derivatives or interest rate swaps. However, our hedging policy
does allow the bank to enter into hedging activities, such as
interest rate swaps, up to 10% of total assets. Our market risk
arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in our lending
and deposit-taking activities and the issuance of our
debentures. The measurement of market risk associated with
financial instruments is meaningful only when all related and
offsetting on-and off-balance sheet transactions are aggregated,
and the resulting net positions are identified. Disclosures
about the fair value of financial instruments as of
December 31, 2004, which reflect changes in market prices
and rates, are set forth in Note 19 to our consolidated
financial statements. Management believes there have been no
significant changes in our market risk exposure since
December 31, 2004.
Management actively monitors and manages our interest rate risk
exposure. The primary objective in managing interest rate risk
is to limit, within established guidelines, the adverse impact
of changes in interest rates on our net interest income and
capital. The bank measures the effect of interest rate changes
on its net portfolio value (NPV), which is the
difference between the estimated market value of the banks
assets and liabilities under different interest rate scenarios.
Changes in NPV are measured using instantaneous changes in
interest rates, rather than linear changes in rates over a
period of time. At June 30, 2005 (the most recent date for
which data are available), the banks NPV ratios, using
interest rate shocks ranging from a 300 basis point rise in
rates to a 200 basis point decline in rates are shown in
the following table. All values are within the acceptable range
established by our Board.

In evaluating the banks exposure to interest rate risk,
certain shortcomings inherent in the method of analysis
presented in the foregoing table must be considered. For
example, although certain assets and liabilities may have
similar maturities or periods to which they reprice, they may
react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates.
In addition, the interest rates on certain types of assets and
liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market
interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag
behind changes in market rates. Furthermore, in the event of a
change in interest rates, prepayments and early withdrawal
levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in
calculating the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to
service their debt may decrease when interest rates rise.
Therefore, the actual effect of changing interest rates may
differ materially from that presented in the foregoing table.
Our interest rate risk position has improved as a result of
managements strategic decisions to sell fixed-rate
mortgage loan originations rather than retain long-term, low
fixed-rate loans in portfolio, grow commercial loans, which tend
to have shorter maturities than residential mortgage loans and,
in many cases, adjustable interest rates, and extend the
maturity dates of borrowings using longer-term, fixed-rate FHLB
advances.

BUSINESS
General
Central Federal Corporation is a savings and loan holding
company incorporated in 1998 under the laws of the State of
Delaware. We are the parent company of CFBank. We originally
were chartered under the name Grand Central Financial Corp., but
on April 23, 2003, we changed our name to Central Federal
Corporation. Our primary business is the operation of CFBank.
At September 30, 2005 we had consolidated assets of
$157.9 million, net loans of $107.0 million, total
deposits of $120.7 million and stockholders equity of
$17.2 million.
CFBank is a federally-chartered savings association formed in
1892. In 1998 it converted from a mutual to a stock form of
organization. Earlier known as Central Federal Savings and
Loan Association, the bank changed its name to Central
Federal Bank on February 20, 2003 and to CFBank on
April 20, 2004. The bank is a full service community bank
primarily serving the banking needs of small- to medium-sized
businesses and their owners in our market area. We emphasize
superior customer service and responsive decision making
delivered with the convenience of modern technology.
CFBanks principal business consists of attracting deposits
from the general public in its primary market area and investing
those deposits and other funds generated from operations and
FHLB advances, primarily in commercial real estate and business
loans and conventional mortgage loans secured by single-family
residences. The bank also invests in consumer loans, home
equity, multi-family, construction and land loans and
mortgage-backed securities, primarily those guaranteed or
insured by government agencies and other investment grade
securities. CFBanks revenues are derived principally from
the generation of interest and fees on loans originated and, to
a lesser extent, from interest and dividends on securities. The
banks primary sources of funds are retail savings
deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, investment
securities, FHLB advances and proceeds from the sale of loans.
CFBank operates through its home office located in Fairlawn,
Ohio, and full-service offices in Calcutta, Ohio, Columbus, Ohio
and Wellsville, Ohio.
From the time of our mutual-to-stock thrift conversion in 1998
through 2002, we operated as an overcapitalized company
exhibiting limited growth potential and earnings that were well
below industry averages in terms of returns on average assets
and equity. Our board of directors recognized that we needed to
strengthen our management team, move into more rapidly growing
markets and expand into business banking in order to be properly
positioned to deliver long-term shareholder value. We believe
that since the beginning of 2003 we have made significant
strides to achieve those goals.
Adding experienced bankers to our management team and opening
new offices in Fairlawn and Columbus has been expensive in the
short-term, and our level of net interest income has not been
sufficient to cover our increased overhead levels since we
embarked on this strategy. We have undertaken significant
restructuring costs, such as severance costs, termination of our
Employee Stock Option Plan, freezing of our defined benefit plan
and restructuring of FHLB debt. We believe that we have largely
completed the restructuring of our management team and balance
sheet, and we believe that we are poised to become a profitable
community bank and to continue our growth following this
offering. The capital provided by this offering will enable us
to expand our lending limit and make further penetration into
our new markets.
On October 22, 2004, CFBank acquired Reserve Mortgage
Services, Inc., an Ohio corporation formerly known as RJO
Financial Services, Inc. Reserve Mortgage Services, Inc.
subsequently merged with the bank and now operates as
CFBanks mortgage services division, originating
conventional real estate loans.
CFBank is subject to regulation by the OTS and the FDIC. See
Regulation and Supervision at page 48.
Our management team has many years of banking experience and
extensive knowledge of the markets we serve.

Growth
In 2003, we put in place a strong senior management team and
adopted an ambitious growth plan to reposition the bank. In that
year, we began a transition from our historical role as a thrift
with an emphasis on making single family mortgage loans in
Columbiana County to a balanced community bank. As part of the
transition, we have opened additional offices in Franklin and
Summit Counties, Ohio, where higher population and median income
offer far greater potential for growth and profitability. Along
with our expansion into growth markets, we are shifting our
focus to more fully serving the more profitable commercial and
commercial real estate loan markets. We are also enhancing our
mortgage loan capabilities. We intend to consider every
reasonable channel to originate loans, including the internet
and other technology. We will evaluate our origination channels
on an ongoing basis and retain only those that prove to be
profitable.
Our growth plan is working. Commercial, commercial real estate
and multi-family loans increased $12.2 million or 23.0% in
the first nine months of 2005 and totaled $64.9 million at
September 30, 2005. Home equity lines of credit increased
$8.0 million or 134.8% in the first nine months of 2005 and
totaled $13.9 million at September 30, 2005. Deposits
increased $19.1 million or 18.8% during the first nine
months of 2005 and totaled $120.7 million at
September 30, 2005.
This growth positively impacted our net interest income which
increased 16.5% and 27.4% and totaled $1.2 million and
$3.6 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005 compared to $1.1 million and
$2.9 million for the prior year periods.
Market Area and Competition
Our principal market area for customer loans and deposits
includes Summit, Franklin and Columbiana County, Ohio. We
originate commercial and conventional real estate loans and
business loans throughout Ohio.
Historically, our primary market area for customer deposits and
loans was Columbiana County, Ohio, where two of our offices are
located. The East Liverpool-Salem Metropolitan Statistical Areas
(MSA), which includes Columbiana County, has a
population in 2005 of 110,000 and a median household income of
$39,000, according to SNL Financial. The Columbiana County
market, while stable and important to us, is experiencing
stagnant to slightly declining population growth, and its median
household income is well below the statewide median of $49,000.
However, while not a growth area, Columbiana County has the
15th highest level of deposits of the states 88
counties.
When we changed management and the strategic direction of the
bank beginning in 2003, we entered two markets which exhibit
substantially greater growth potential, as well as a far greater
concentration of potential business banking customers. The Akron
MSA, which is served by our Fairlawn office, had an estimated
2005 population of 710,000 and a median household income level
of $52,000. The Columbus MSA is even more attractive, with an
estimated 2005 population of 1.8 million and a median
household income of $54,000. All demographic information has
been obtained from SNL Financial.
Our primary market area is a competitive market for financial
services; we face competition both in making loans and in
attracting deposits. Direct competition comes from a number of
financial institutions operating in our market area, many with a
statewide or regional presence, and, in some cases, a national
presence. Many of these financial institutions are significantly
larger and have greater financial resources than we. Competition
for loans and deposits comes from savings institutions, mortgage
banking companies, commercial banks and credit unions, brokerage
firms and insurance companies.
In terms of bank deposits as of June 30, 2005 (the most
recent date for which data are available), according to the
FDIC, the East Liverpool-Salem MSA had $2.0 billion in
total deposits. By contrast, the Akron MSA had $9.9 billion
and the Columbus MSA had $28.8 billion. Our Fairlawn office
is in close proximity to the Cleveland MSA, which had
$64.5 billion, the highest level in the state. While we
recognize that we have many well-established competitors in our
new markets, we believe that we will be able to achieve
significant growth in these markets over the next several years.
34
We also extend our reach by utilizing technology and services to
gather deposits without requiring customers to visit our
offices. Customers may access their accounts through our
website, www.CFBankonline.com, and make deposits through any of
the 814 ATMS in the network to which we belong, through a local
courier service we provide or through the use of check scanners
which can be onsite at a clients office, enabling
immediate recognition of funds.
Lending Activities
Loan Portfolio Composition. Our loan portfolio consists
primarily of commercial real estate loans and mortgage loans
secured by single-family and multi-family residences. At
September 30, 2005, gross loans receivable totaled
$108.4 million. Commercial, commercial real estate and
multi-family mortgage loans totaled $64.9 million and
represented 59.8% of the gross loan portfolio at
September 30, 2005, compared to 48.3% at December 31,
2004 and 17.8% at December 31, 2003. The increase in the
percentage of commercial, commercial real estate and
multi-family mortgage loans in the portfolio was a result of the
growth strategy implemented in 2003 to transform the bank from a
traditional single-family mortgage lending thrift into a
community bank. Single-family residential mortgage loans totaled
$23.4 million and represented 21.6% of the gross loan
portfolio at September 30, 2005 compared to
$41.4 million or 38.0% of total gross loans at year-end
2004 and $34.8 million or 59.6% at year-end 2003. In a
transaction with Freddie Mac in the second quarter of 2005, we
securitized single-family residential mortgage loans held in our
portfolio with an outstanding principal balance of
$18.6 million, reducing single-family mortgage loan
balances. The remainder of the portfolio consisted of consumer
loans which totaled $20.2 million, or 18.6% of gross loans
receivable at September 30, 2005 compared to
$14.0 million or 12.8% at December 31, 2004 and
$12.6 million or 21.6% at December 31, 2003. The
increase in consumer loans was due to increased home equity
lines of credit, which totaled $13.9 million or 12.9% of
the gross loan portfolio at September 30, 2005 compared to
$5.9 million or 5.4% at December 31, 2004 and
$1.6 million or 2.8% at December 31, 2003. Auto loans
declined during the periods to $4.7 million or 4.3% of the
gross loan portfolio at September 30, 2005 from
$6.7 million or 6.2% at year-end 2004 and $9.3 million
or 15.9% at year-end 2003. At September 30, 2005, 25.4% of
the loan portfolio had fixed rates, compared to 32.8% at
year-end 2004 and 55.7% at year-end 2003. The decline in the
percentage of fixed rate loans in the portfolio was a result of
growth in commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family
mortgage loans, as well as home equity lines of credit during
2004 and 2005, which are predominantly adjustable rate loans.
Interest rates charged on loans are affected by the demand for
such loans and the supply of money available for lending
purposes and the rates offered by competitors. In turn, these
factors are affected by, among other things, economic
conditions, fiscal policies of the federal government, the
monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board and legislative
tax policies.

Origination of Loans. Lending activities are conducted
through all our offices. In 2003, we began originating
commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family mortgage
loans as we started the process of becoming a commercial bank
with growth in the Franklin and Summit Counties, Ohio markets.
These loans are predominantly adjustable rate loans. A majority
of our single-family mortgage loan originations are fixed-rate
loans. Beginning in 2002 and more pronouncedly in later years,
current originations of long-term fixed-rate single-family
mortgages were sold rather than retained in portfolio. Although
the decision to sell current single-family mortgage originations
rather than retain the loans in portfolio may result in
declining single-family loan portfolio balances and lower
earnings from that portfolio in the near term, it protects
future profitability as management believes it is not prudent to
retain these long-term, fixed-rate loans which subject us to the
interest rate risk and reduced future earnings associated with a
rise in interest rates. We allowed single-family mortgage loan
portfolio balances to decline as interest rates fell to 40-year
lows, and homeowners
37
continued to refinance during 2003. The refinancing activity
slowed as market mortgage interest rates increased in 2004. The
growth in single-family mortgage loans in 2004 was predominantly
in adjustable rate loans. Although we expect that most of the
long-term fixed-rate mortgage loan originations will be sold on
a servicing-released basis, a portion of the loans may be
retained for portfolio within our interest rate risk and
profitability guidelines. We also emphasize the origination of
home equity lines of credit.
Single-Family Mortgage Lending. A significant lending
activity has been the origination of permanent conventional
mortgage loans secured by single-family residences located in
our primary market area. We currently sell substantially all of
the fixed-rate single-family mortgage loans that we originate on
a servicing released basis. Prior to 2004, servicing rights
generally were retained on loans sold. Most single-family
mortgage loans are underwritten according to Freddie Mac
guidelines. Loan originations are obtained from the banks
mortgage services division, loan officers and their contacts
with the local real estate industry, existing or past customers,
and members of the local communities. At September 30,
2005, single-family mortgage loans totaled $23.4 million,
or 21.6% of total loans, of which $7.9 million, or 33.7%
were fixed-rate loans.
Our policy is to originate single-family residential mortgage
loans in amounts up to 80% of the appraised value of the
property securing the loan and up to 95% of the appraised value
if private mortgage insurance is obtained. Mortgage loans
generally include due-on-sale clauses which provide us with the
contractual right to deem the loan immediately due and payable
if the borrower transfers ownership of the property without our
consent.
Due-on-sale clauses are an important means of adjusting the
rates on the fixed-rate mortgage loan portfolio, and we exercise
our rights under these clauses. The single-family mortgage loan
originations are generally for terms to maturity of up to
30 years.
We offer several adjustable-rate loan programs with terms of up
to 30 years and interest rates that adjust with a maximum
adjustment limitation of 2.0% per year and a 6.0% lifetime
cap. The interest rate adjustments on ARM loans currently
offered are indexed to a variety of established indices. ARM
loans offered by us do not provide for initial deep discount
interest rates or for negative amortization.
The volume and types of ARM loans originated have been affected
by such market factors as the level of interest rates, consumer
preferences, competition and the availability of funds. In
recent years, demand for ARM loans in our primary market area
has been weak due to the low interest rate environment and
consumer preference for fixed-rate loans. Consequently, in
recent years we have not originated a significant amount of ARM
loans as compared to our originations of fixed-rate loans.
However, as a result of managements strategy to sell
current long-term fixed rate loan production, ARM loans
represent a larger percentage of the portfolio. At
September 30, 2005, $15.5 million, or 66.4% of the
single-family mortgage portfolio had adjustable rates, compared
to $21.9 million, or 52.8% at December 31, 2004,
$15.1 million, or 43.4% at December 31, 2003 and
$6.5 million, or 11.0% at December 31, 2002.
Commercial and Multi-Family Real Estate Lending. In 2003,
we expanded into business lending and positioned ourselves for
growth in the Fairlawn and Columbus, Ohio markets and, as a
result, originations of commercial real estate and multi-family
residential mortgage loans increased significantly. Commercial
real estate and multi-family residential mortgage loans totaled
$52.4 million at September 30, 2005 or 48.3% of gross
loans, an increase of $6.7 million compared to
$45.7 million or 41.8% of gross loans at December 31,
2004, $6.3 million or 10.7% of gross loans at
December 31, 2003 and $1.5 million or 2.5% of gross
loans at December 31, 2002. We anticipate that commercial
real estate and multi-family residential mortgage lending
activities will continue to grow in the future.
We originate commercial real estate loans that are secured by
properties used for business purposes, such as manufacturing
facilities, office buildings or retail facilities. Commercial
real estate and multi-family residential mortgage loans are
secured by properties generally located in our primary market
area. Our underwriting policies provide that commercial real
estate and multi-family residential mortgage loans may be made
in amounts up to 85% of the appraised value of the property. In
underwriting commercial real estate and multi-family residential
mortgage loans, we consider the appraisal value and net
operating income of the property, the debt service ratio and the
property owners financial strength, expertise and credit
history.
38
Commercial real estate and multi-family residential mortgage
loans are generally considered to involve a greater degree of
risk than single-family residential mortgage loans. Because
payments on loans secured by commercial real estate and
multi-family properties are dependent on successful operation or
management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be
subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real
estate market or the economy. We seek to minimize these risks
through our underwriting policies, which require such loans to
be qualified at origination on the basis of the propertys
income and debt coverage ratio and the financial strength of the
owners.
Commercial Lending. In 2003, we expanded into business
lending and positioned ourselves for growth in the Fairlawn and
Columbus, Ohio markets. As a result, originations of commercial
loans increased. Commercial loans totaled $12.5 million or
11.5% of gross loans at September 30, 2005, an increase of
$5.5 million compared to $7.0 million, or 6.4% of
gross loans at December 31, 2004, $4.1 million, or
7.0% of gross loans at December 31, 2003 and $261,000 or
0.4% of gross loans at December 31, 2002. We anticipate
that commercial lending activities will continue to grow in the
future.
We make commercial business loans primarily to small business
and generally secured by business equipment, inventory, accounts
receivable and other business assets. In underwriting commercial
loans, we consider our net operating income of the company, the
debt service ratio and the financial strength, expertise and
credit history of the owners.
Commercial loans are generally considered to involve a greater
degree of risk than loans secured by real estate. Because
payments on commercial loans are dependent on successful
operation of the business enterprise, repayment of such loans
may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the
economy. We seek to minimize these risks through our
underwriting policies, which require such loans to be qualified
at origination on the basis of the enterprises income and
debt coverage ratio and the financial strength of the owners.
Construction and Land Lending. We generally originate
construction and land development loans to contractors and
individuals in our primary market areas. Construction loans are
made to finance the construction of owner-occupied single-family
residential properties and, to a substantially lesser extent,
individual properties built by developers for future sale.
Construction loans to individuals are fixed or adjustable-rate
loans which may convert to permanent loans with maturities of up
to 30 years. Our policies provide that construction loans
may be made in amounts up to 80% of the appraised value of the
property for construction of single-family residences. We
require an independent appraisal of the property. Loan proceeds
are disbursed in increments as construction progresses and as
inspections warrant. We require regular inspections to monitor
the progress of construction. Land loans are determined on an
individual basis, but generally they do not exceed 75% of the
actual cost or current appraised value of the property,
whichever is less.
Construction and land financing is considered to involve a
higher degree of credit risk than long-term financing on
improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a
construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the
initial estimate of the propertys value at completion of
construction or development compared to the estimated cost
(including interest) of construction. If the estimate of value
proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project,
when completed, having a value which is insufficient to assure
full repayment.
Consumer and Other Lending. Our consumer loan portfolio
generally consists of home equity lines of credit, automobile
loans, home equity and home improvement loans and loans secured
by deposits. At September 30, 2005, our consumer loan
portfolio totaled $20.2 million, or 18.6% of gross loans
receivable.
We offer home equity lines of credit that are secured by the
borrowers property. Our policy is to originate home equity
lines in amounts up to 80% of the appraised value of the
property securing the loan. The lines have a 10 year draw
period followed by a 10 year repayment period. Monthly
payments during the first 10 years can be either 1.5% of
the outstanding balance or interest only. Home equity lines of
credit are generally ARM loans with rates adjusting monthly at
up to 2.0% above the prime rate of interest as disclosed in
The Wall Street Journal. Home equity lines of credit
totaled $13.9 million or 12.9% of gross loans at
39
September 30, 2005, an increase of $8.0 million
compared to $5.9 million or 5.4% of gross loans at
December 31, 2004, $1.6 million or 2.8% of gross loans
at December 31, 2003 and $1.1 million or 1.8% of gross
loans at December 31, 2002.
The auto loan portfolio has declined as a result of our decision
to exit the indirect auto lending business which requires the
maintenance of relationships with auto dealers rather than the
benefit of direct interaction between the borrowers and our
lending officers. Loans secured by rapidly depreciable assets
such as automobiles entail greater risks than single-family
residential mortgage loans and repossessed collateral for a
defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment
of the outstanding loan balance, since there is a greater
likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation of the underlying
collateral. Auto loans totaled $4.7 million or 4.3% of
gross loans at September 30, 2005, a decline of
$2.0 million compared to $6.7 million or 6.2% of gross
loans at December 31, 2004, $9.3 million or 15.9% of
gross loans at December 31, 2003 and $10.5 million or
16.7% of gross loans at December 31, 2002.
Delinquencies and Classified Assets. The Board of
Directors monitors the status of all delinquent mortgage and
commercial loans thirty days or more past due monthly.
Additionally, the Board of Directors reviews past due statistics
and trends for all consumer and installment loans. The
procedures taken by us with respect to resolving delinquencies
vary depending on the nature and type of the loan and period of
delinquency. In general, we make every effort, consistent with
safety and soundness principles, to work with the borrower to
have the loan brought current. If the loan is still not brought
current it then becomes necessary for us to repossess collateral
and/or take legal action.
Historically, the bank has had good asset quality, as the loan
portfolio was comprised primarily of single-family mortgage
loans underwritten at loan-to-value ratios of 80% or below. As
we expanded into business lending and entered the Akron and
Columbus markets, we recognized that it was necessary to upgrade
our credit review process. Our senior credit officer, who joined
us in January 2004, has over 30 years of credit and workout
experience. In addition, we hired a third party to conduct an
independent loan review covering approximately 90% of our
portfolio in 2004. We have enhanced our credit review procedures
and we believe that we have the credit infrastructure in place
to appropriately monitor our portfolio growth.
Federal regulations and our Classification of Assets Policy
require use of an internal asset classification system as a
means of reporting and monitoring assets. We have incorporated
the OTS internal asset classifications as a part of our credit
monitoring system. In accordance with regulations, problem
assets are classified as substandard,
doubtful or loss, and the
classifications are subject to review by the OTS. An asset is
considered substandard under the regulations if it
is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying
capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. An
asset considered doubtful under the regulations has
all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified
substandard with the added characteristic that the
weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full,
on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and
values, highly questionable and improbable. Assets
considered loss under the regulations are those
considered uncollectible and having so little value
that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a
specific loss allowance is not warranted. Assets are required to
be designated special mention when they posses
weaknesses but do not currently expose the insured institution
to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of these
categories. In order to more closely monitor credit risk as we
employ our growth strategy in business lending, we have
developed internal loan review procedures and a credit grading
system for commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family
mortgage loans, and we also utilize an external firm for loan
review.
At September 30, 2005, no assets were designated as special
mention; $639,000 in assets were classified as substandard,
97.5% of which were single-family mortgage loans and real estate
owned; and no assets were classified as doubtful or loss.

The tables do not include delinquent loans less than
60 days past due. At September 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, total loans past due 30
to 59 days totaled $1.0 million, $549,000, $481,000
and $517,000, respectively.

Nonperforming Assets. The following table contains
information regarding nonperforming loans, real estate owned
(REO) and other repossessed assets. At
September 30, 2005, nonperforming loans totaled $606,000.
It is our policy to stop accruing interest on loans 90 days
or more past due and set up reserves for all previously accrued
interest. At September 30, 2005, the amount of additional
interest income that would have been recognized on nonaccrual
loans if such loans had continued to perform in accordance with
their contractual terms was approximately $31,000. At
September 30, 2005, December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,
there were no impaired loans or troubled debt restructurings.

Allowance for Loan Losses. Our strategy to expand into
business lending and the significant growth in commercial,
commercial real estate and multi-family mortgage loans that
resulted from that strategy required an increase in the
allowance for loan losses related to these loan types. At
September 30, 2005, the allowance for commercial,
commercial real estate and multi-family mortgage loans totaled
$1.1 million, an increase of $194,000 from $862,000 at
December 31, 2004 and an increase of $956,000 from $100,000
at December 31, 2003 as these loan types grew from 17.7% of
the total loan portfolio at year-end 2003 to 48.2% at year-end
2004 and 59.8% at September 30, 2005. 86.2% and 88.1% of
the allowance was allocated to these loan types at
September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, as they tend
to be larger balance, higher risk loans than single-family
residential mortgages, where we have experienced low historical
loss rates. As of September 30, 2005, the allowance for
loan losses totaled 1.1% of total loans compared to 0.9% as of
December 31, 2004 and 0.7% as of December 31, 2003.
The OTS, in conjunction with the other federal banking agencies,
has adopted an interagency policy statement on the allowance for
loan and lease losses. The policy statement provides guidance
for financial institutions on both the responsibilities of
management for the assessment and establishment of adequate
allowances in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and guidance for banking agency examiners to use in
evaluating the allowances. The policy statement requires that
institutions have effective systems and controls to identify,
monitor and address asset quality problems; that management has
analyzed all significant factors that affect the collectibility
of the portfolio in a reasonable manner; and that management has
established acceptable allowance evaluation processes that meet
the objectives set forth in the policy statement. We adopted an
Allowance for Loan Losses Policy designed to provide a thorough,
disciplined and consistently applied process that incorporates
managements current judgments about the credit quality of
the loan portfolio into determination of the allowance for loan
and lease losses in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and supervisory guidance. Management
believes that an adequate allowance for loan losses has been
established. However, actual losses are dependent upon future
events and, as such, further additions to the level of
allowances for estimated loan losses may become necessary.

Real Estate
At September 30, 2005, real estate owned totaled $33,000
and consisted of one single-family residential property. Assets
acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially
recorded at fair value when acquired, establishing a new cost
basis. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a
valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after
acquisition are expensed.
In addition, at September 30, 2005, the Company conducted
its business through five owned or leased offices located in
Summit, Columbiana and Franklin Counties, Ohio, as set forth in
the following table:

Investment Activities
Federally chartered savings institutions have the authority to
invest in various types of liquid assets, including United
States Treasury obligations, securities of various federal
agencies, certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings
institutions, bankers acceptances and federal funds.
Subject to various restrictions, federally-chartered savings
institutions may also invest their assets in commercial paper,
investment-grade corporate debt securities, municipal bonds and
mutual funds whose assets conform to the investments that a
federally-chartered savings institution is otherwise authorized
to make directly. Additionally, minimum levels of investments
that qualify as liquid assets under OTS regulations must be
maintained. Historically, liquid assets above the minimum OTS
requirements have been maintained at a level considered to be
more than adequate to meet our normal daily activities. During
the quarter ended June 30, 2005, we securitized
single-family residential mortgage loans with an outstanding
principal balance of $18.6 million, formerly held in our
portfolio, with Freddie Mac. We continue to hold the securities
and service the loans. The securitization
44
increased liquidity as the securities retained are readily
marketable, eliminated credit risk on the loans and reduced the
banks risk-based capital requirement. As a result of the
securitization, net single-family residential mortgage loan
balances declined $18.5 million, the loan servicing asset
increased $120,000 and securities available for sale increased
$18.9 million. The unrealized gain on the securities at
June 30, 2005 was $530,000 which increased our capital by
$350,000.
The investment policy established by the Board of Directors is
designed to provide and maintain liquidity, generate a favorable
return on investments without incurring undue interest rate and
credit risk, and complement lending activities. Our policies
provide the authority to invest in United States Treasury and
federal agency securities meeting our guidelines and in
mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by the
U.S. government and agencies thereof, as well as municipal
bonds. To improve liquidity, we transferred all securities
previously classified as held to maturity to
available for sale in 2003.
At September 30, 2005, the securities portfolio totaled
$33.3 million. All mortgage-backed securities in the
securities portfolio were insured or guaranteed by Freddie Mac
or Fannie Mae. There were no collateralized mortgage obligations
that failed stress testing at September 30, 2005.
Management reports high risk mortgage derivatives testing
results to the Board of Directors each month, at which time the
Board may direct management to divest of any such securities
failing any portion of the testing, in accordance with
regulations.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the
amortized cost and fair value of securities at the dates
indicated.

Sources of Funds
General. Deposits, loan repayments and prepayments,
securities sales, maturities and prepayments, borrowings and
cash flows generated from operations are the primary sources of
funds for use in lending, investing and for other general
purposes.
Deposits. We offer a variety of deposit accounts with a
range of interest rates and terms. Our deposits consist of
passbook accounts, savings and club accounts, interest- and
noninterest-bearing checking accounts, money market accounts and
certificates of deposit. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, certificates of deposit constituted
49.9% of total average deposits. The term of the certificates of
deposit offered vary from seven days to five years and the
offering rates are established by us. Specific terms of an
individual account vary according to the type of account, the
minimum balance required, the time period funds must remain on
deposit and the interest rate, among other factors. The flow of
deposits is influenced significantly by general economic
conditions, changes in money market rates, prevailing interest
rates and competition. At September 30, 2005, we had
$38.3 million of certificate accounts maturing in less than
one year. We expect that most of these accounts will be
reinvested and do not believe that there are any material risks
associated with the respective maturities of these certificates.
Deposits are obtained predominantly from the area in which our
banking offices are located. We do, however, accept brokered
deposits. At September 30, 2005, brokered deposits totaled
$10.8 million. We rely primarily on a willingness to pay
market-competitive interest rates to attract and retain these
deposits. Accordingly, rates offered by competing financial
institutions affect our ability to attract and retain deposits.

Borrowings. We utilize FHLB advances as an alternative to
retail deposits to fund our operations as part of our operating
strategy. These FHLB advances are collateralized primarily by
certain mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, commercial
real estate loans and mortgage-backed securities and secondarily
by our investment in capital stock of the FHLB. FHLB advances
are made pursuant to several credit programs, each of which has
its own interest rate and range of maturities. The maximum
amount that the FHLB will advance to member institutions
fluctuates from time to time in accordance with the policies of
the FHLB.
Central Federal Capital Trust I, a trust we formed, issued
$5.0 million of 3-month LIBOR plus 2.85% floating rate
trust preferred securities in 2003 as part of a pooled offering
of such securities. We issued subordinated debentures to the
trust in exchange for the proceeds of the offering, which
debentures represent the sole asset of the trust. We may redeem
the subordinated debentures, in whole but not in part, any time
after five years at par. The subordinated debentures must be
redeemed no later than 2033.
Under accounting guidance, FASB Interpretation No. 46, as
revised in December 2003, the trust is not consolidated with the
holding company. Accordingly, we do not report the securities
issued by the trust as liabilities, and instead reports as
liabilities the subordinated debentures issued by us and held by
the trust.

MANAGEMENT
There are seven directors on our Board, each of whom is elected
by the holders of our common stock. The Board is divided into
three classes, with terms expiring at our annual meeting of

Federal and CFBank since January 2003. Mr. Vernon was Chief
Executive Officer of Central Federal and the bank from January
2003 to February 2005 and President of the Central Federal from
March 2003 to February 2005. On January 1, 2006,
Mr. Vernon will retire as Chairman of Central Federal and
CFBank and assume the role of Vice-Chairman of each, in order to
continue implementation of our previously announced management
succession plan. Mr. Vernon has had an extensive career in

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
General
CFBank is a federally-chartered savings association. It is
subject to regulation, examination and supervision by the OTS
and the FDIC as its deposit insurer. CFBank is a member of the
Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), and its
deposit accounts are insured up to applicable limits by the
FDIC. All the deposit premiums paid by CFBank to the FDIC for
deposit insurance are currently paid to the SAIF. CFBank also is
a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)
of Cincinnati, which is one of the 12 regional FHLBs. CFBank
must file reports with the OTS concerning its activities and
financial condition, and it must obtain regulatory approvals
prior to entering into certain transactions, such as mergers
with, or acquisitions of, other depository institutions. The OTS
conducts periodic examinations to assess CFBanks
compliance with various regulatory requirements. This regulation
and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of
activities in which a savings association can engage and is
intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and
depositors. As a savings and loan holding company, we must file
certain reports with, and otherwise comply with, the rules and
regulations of the OTS and, with respect to federal securities
laws, of the Commission.
The OTS and the FDIC have significant discretion in connection
with their supervisory and enforcement activities and
examination policies, including policies with respect to the
classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan
loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such
policies, whether by the OTS, the FDIC, the Commission or the
United States Congress, could have a material adverse impact on
us, CFBank and our operations and shareholders. The following
discussion is intended to be a summary of the material statutes
and regulations applicable to savings associations and their
holding companies, and it does not purport to be a comprehensive
description of all such statutes and regulations.
Regulation of Federal Savings Associations
Business Activities. CFBank derives its lending and
investment powers from the Home Owners Loan Act, as
amended (HOLA), and OTS regulations. Under these
laws and regulations, CFBank may invest in mortgage loans
secured by residential and commercial real estate, commercial
and consumer loans, certain types of debt securities and certain
other assets. CFBank may also establish service corporations
that may engage in activities not otherwise permissible for
CFBank, including certain real estate equity investments and
securities and insurance brokerage. CFBanks authority to
invest in certain types of loans or other investments is limited
by federal law.
Loans to One Borrower. CFBank is generally subject to the
same limits on loans to one borrower as is a national bank. With
specified exceptions, CFBanks total loans or extensions of
credit to a single borrower cannot exceed 15% of CFBanks
unimpaired capital and surplus, which does not include
accumulated other comprehensive income. CFBank may lend
additional amounts up to 10% of its unimpaired capital and
surplus which does not include accumulated other comprehensive
income, if the loans or extensions of credit are fully-secured
by readily-marketable collateral. CFBank currently complies with
applicable loans-to-one borrower limitations.
QTL Test. The HOLA requires that CFBank, as a savings
association, comply with the qualified thrift lender
(QTL) test. Under the QTL test, CFBank is required
to maintain at least 65% of its portfolio assets in certain
qualified thrift investments for at least nine
months of the most recent twelve-month period. Portfolio
assets means, in general, CFBanks total assets less
the sum of (i) specified liquid assets up to 20% of total
assets, (ii) goodwill and other intangible assets and
(iii) the value of property used to conduct CFBanks
business.
CFBank may also satisfy the QTL test by qualifying as a domestic
building and loan association as defined in the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). CFBank met the
QTL test at September 30, 2005 and in each of the prior
12 months, and, therefore, qualified as a thrift lender. If
CFBank fails the QTL test, it must either operate under certain
restrictions on its activities or convert to a national bank
charter.
53
Capital Requirements. The OTS regulations require savings
associations to meet three minimum capital standards: (i) a
tangible capital ratio requirement of 1.5% of total assets as
adjusted under the OTS regulations; (ii) a leverage ratio
requirement of 3.0% of core capital to such adjusted total
assets, if a savings association has been assigned the highest
composite rating of 1 under the Uniform Financial Institutions
Rating System; and (iii) a risk-based capital ratio
requirement of 8.0% of core and supplementary capital to total
risk-based assets. The minimum leverage capital ratio for any
other depository institution that does not have a composite
rating of 1 will be 4%, unless a higher leverage capital ratio
is warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profile of
the depository institution. In determining the amount of
risk-weighted assets for purposes of the risk-based capital
requirement, a savings association must compute its risk-based
assets by multiplying its assets and certain off-balance sheet
items by risk-weights, which range from 0% for cash and
obligations issued by the United States Government or its
agencies to 100% for consumer and commercial loans, as assigned
by the OTS capital regulation based on the risks found by the
OTS to be inherent in the type of asset.
Tangible capital is defined, generally, as common
shareholders equity (including retained earnings), certain
non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and related earnings,
minority interests in equity accounts of fully consolidated
subsidiaries, less intangibles (other than certain mortgage
servicing rights), and investments in and loans to subsidiaries
engaged in activities not permissible for a national bank. Core
capital is defined similarly to tangible capital, but core
capital also includes certain qualifying supervisory goodwill
and certain purchased credit card relationships. Supplementary
capital currently includes cumulative and other preferred stock,
mandatory convertible debt securities, subordinated debt and
intermediate preferred stock and the allowance for loan and
lease losses. In addition, up to 45% of unrealized gains on
available-for-sale equity securities with a readily determinable
fair value may be included in tier 2 capital. The allowance for
loan and lease losses includable in supplementary capital is
limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, and the
amount of supplementary capital that may be included as total
capital cannot exceed the amount of core capital. At
September 30, 2005, CFBank met each of its capital
requirements, in each case on a fully phased-in basis.

Capital Distributions. The OTS imposes various
restrictions or requirements on the ability of CFBank to make
capital distributions, including cash dividends. A savings
institution that is the subsidiary of a savings and loan holding
company must file a notice with the OTS at least 30 days
before making a capital distribution. CFBank must file an
application for prior approval if the total amount of its
capital distributions, including the proposed distribution, for
the applicable calendar year would exceed an amount equal to
CFBanks net income for that year plus CFBanks
retained net income for the previous two years. The OTS may
disapprove of a notice of application if (i) CFBank would
be undercapitalized following the distribution, (ii) the
proposed capital distribution would raise safety and soundness
concerns, or (iii) the capital distribution would violate a
prohibition contained in any statute, regulation, or agreement.
Our ability to pay dividends, service our debt obligations and
repurchase our common stock is dependent upon receipt of
dividend payments from CFBank.
Branching. Subject to certain limitations, HOLA and OTS
regulations permit federally-chartered savings associations to
establish branches in any State of the United States. The
authority to establish such a branch is available: (i) in
States that expressly authorize branches of savings associations
located in another State; and (ii) to an association that
qualifies as a domestic building and loan
association under the Code, which imposes qualification
requirements similar to those for a qualified thrift lender
under HOLA. See QTL Test. The
authority for a federal savings association to establish an
interstate branch network
54
would facilitate a geographic diversification of the
associations activities. This authority under HOLA and OTS
regulations preempts any State law purporting to regulate
branching by federal savings associations.
Community Reinvestment. Under the Community Reinvestment
Act (the CRA), as implemented by OTS regulations, a
savings association has a continuing and affirmative obligation
consistent with its safe and sound operation to help meet the
credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate
income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific
lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor
does it limit an institutions discretion to develop the
types of products and services that it believes are best suited
to its particular community, consistent with the CRA. The CRA
requires the OTS, in connection with its examination of a
savings association, to assess the associations record of
meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such
record into account in its evaluation of certain applications by
such association. The CRA also requires all institutions to
publicly disclose their CRA ratings.
The CRA regulations establish an assessment system that bases an
associations rating on its actual performance in meeting
community needs. In particular, the assessment system focuses on
three tests: (i) a lending test, to evaluate the
institutions record of making loans in its assessment
areas; (ii) an investment test, to evaluate the
institutions record of investing in community development
projects, affordable housing, and programs benefiting low or
moderate income individuals and businesses; and (iii) a
service test, to evaluate the institutions delivery of
services through its branches, ATMs, and other offices.
Transactions with Related Parties. CFBanks
authority to engage in transactions with its
affiliates is limited by the OTS regulations and by
Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act (the
FRA). In general, these transactions must be on
terms which are as favorable to CFBank as comparable
transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain types of
these transactions are restricted to an aggregate percentage of
CFBanks capital. Collateral in specified amounts must
usually be provided by affiliates in order to receive loans from
CFBank. In addition, the OTS regulations prohibit a savings
association from lending to any of its affiliates that engage in
activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies
and from purchasing the securities of any affiliate, other than
a subsidiary.
Effective April 1, 2003, the FRB rescinded its
interpretations of Sections 23A and 23B of the FRA and
replaced these interpretations with Regulation W. In
addition, Regulation W makes various changes to existing
law regarding Sections 23A and 23B, including expanding the
definition of what constitutes an affiliate subject to
Sections 23A and 23B and exempting certain subsidiaries of
state-chartered banks from the restrictions of Sections 23A
and 23B. Under Regulation W, all transactions entered into
on or before December 12, 2002, which either became subject
to Sections 23A and 23B solely because of
Regulation W, and all transactions covered by
Sections 23A and 23B, the treatment of which will change
solely because of Regulation W, became subject to
Regulation W on July 1, 2003. All other covered
affiliate transactions become subject to Regulation W on
April 1, 2003. The Federal Reserve Board expects each
depository institution that is subject to Sections 23A and
23B to implement policies and procedures to ensure compliance
with Regulation W.
CFBanks authority to extend credit to its directors,
executive officers and 10% shareholders, as well as to entities
controlled by such persons, is currently governed by the
requirements of Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the FRA and
Regulation O of the Federal Reserve Board. Among other
things, these provisions require that extensions of credit to
insiders: (i) be made on terms that are substantially the
same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not
less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable
transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not involve
more than the normal risk of repayment or present other
unfavorable features; and (ii) not exceed certain
limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons,
individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in
part, on the amount of CFBanks capital. The regulations
allow small discounts on fees on residential mortgages for
directors, officers and employees. In addition, extensions for
credit in excess of certain limits must be approved by
CFBanks Board of Directors.
Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act prohibits the
extension of personal loans to directors and executive officers
of issuers. The prohibition, however, does not apply to
mortgages advanced by an insured depository institution, such as
CFBank, which are subject to the insider lending restrictions of
Section 22(h) of the FRA.
55
Enforcement. The OTS has primary enforcement
responsibility over savings associations, including CFBank. This
enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability
to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist
orders and to remove directors and officers. In general, these
enforcement actions may be initiated in response to violations
of laws and regulations and to unsafe or unsound practices.
Standards for Safety and Soundness. Under federal law,
the OTS has adopted a set of guidelines prescribing safety and
soundness standards. These guidelines establish general
standards relating to internal controls and information systems,
internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting,
interest rate exposure, asset growth, asset quality, earnings
standards, compensation, fees and benefits. In general, the
guidelines require appropriate systems and practices to identify
and manage the risks and exposures specified in the guidelines.
In addition, the OTS adopted regulations that authorize, but do
not require, the OTS to order an institution that has been given
notice that it is not satisfying these safety and soundness
standards to submit a compliance plan. If, after being notified,
an institution fails to submit an acceptable plan of compliance
or fails in any material respect to implement an accepted plan,
the OTS must issue an order directing action to correct the
deficiency and may issue an order directing other actions of the
types to which an undercapitalized association is subject under
the prompt corrective action provisions of federal
law. If an institution fails to comply with such an order, the
OTS may seek to enforce such order in judicial proceedings and
to impose civil money penalties.
Real Estate Lending Standards. The OTS and the other
federal banking agencies adopted regulations to prescribe
standards for extensions of credit that: (i) are secured by
real estate; or (ii) are made for the purpose of financing
the construction of improvements on real estate. The OTS
regulations require each savings association to establish and
maintain written internal real estate lending standards that are
consistent with safe and sound banking practices and appropriate
to the size of the association and the nature and scope of its
real estate lending activities. The standards also must be
consistent with accompanying OTS guidelines, which include
loan-to-value ratios for the different types of real estate
loans. Associations are also permitted to make a limited amount
of loans that do not conform to the proposed loan-to-value
limitations so long as such exceptions are reviewed and
justified appropriately. The guidelines also list a number of
lending situations in which exceptions to the loan-to-value
standards are justified.
Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action. Under the OTS prompt
corrective action regulations, the OTS is required to take
certain, and is authorized to take other, supervisory actions
against undercapitalized savings associations. For this purpose,
a savings association would be placed in one of the following
four categories based on the associations capital:
(i) well-capitalized; (ii) adequately capitalized;
(iii) undercapitalized; or (iv) critically
undercapitalized.
At September 30, 2005, CFBank met the criteria for being
considered well-capitalized. When appropriate, the
OTS can require corrective action by a savings association
holding company under the prompt corrective action
provision of federal law.
Insurance of Deposit Accounts. CFBank is a member of the
SAIF. Under federal law, the FDIC established a risk based
assessment system for determining the deposit insurance
assessments to be paid by insured depository institutions. Under
the assessment system, the FDIC assigns an institution to one of
three capital categories based on the institutions
financial information as of the quarter ending three months
before the beginning of the assessment period. An
institutions assessment rate depends on the capital
category and supervisory category to which it is assigned. Under
the regulation, there are nine risk assessment classifications
(i.e., combinations of capital groups and supervisory
subgroups) to which different assessment rates are applied.
Assessment rates currently range from 0.0% of deposits for an
institution in the highest category (i.e.,
well-capitalized and financially sound, with no more than a few
minor weaknesses) to 0.27% of deposits for an institution in the
lowest category (i.e., undercapitalized and substantial
supervisory concern). The FDIC is authorized to raise the
assessment rates as necessary to maintain the required reserve
ratio of 1.25%.
In addition, all FDIC-insured institutions are required to pay
assessments to the FDIC at an annual rate of approximately
0.0168% of insured deposits to fund interest payments on bonds
issued by the Financing Corporation, an agency of the federal
government established to recapitalize the predecessor to the
BIF. These assessments will continue until the Financing
Corporation bonds mature in 2017.
56
Federal Home Loan Bank System. CFBank is a member of
the FHLB of Cincinnati, which is one of the regional FHLBs
composing the FHLB System. Each FHLB provides a central credit
facility primarily for its member institutions: (i) the
greater of $1,000 or 0.20% of the members mortgage-related
assets; and (ii) 4.50% of the dollar amount of any
outstanding advances under such members advances,
collateral pledge and security agreement with the FHLB of
Cincinnati. CFBank, as a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati
required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB
of Cincinnati in an amount at least equal to 0.12% of the total
assets of CFBank. CFBank is also required to own activity based
stock, which is based on 4.45% of CFBanks outstanding
advances. These percentages are subject to change by the FHLB.
CFBank was in compliance with this requirement with an
investment in FHLB of Cincinnati stock at September 30,
2005 of $3.9 million. Any advances from a FHLB must be
secured by specified types of collateral, and all long-term
advances may be obtained only for the purpose of providing funds
for residential housing finance.
The FHLBs are required to provide funds for the resolution of
insolvent thrifts and to contribute funds for affordable housing
programs. These requirements could reduce the amount of earnings
that the FHLBs can pay as dividends to their members and could
also result in the FHLBs imposing a higher rate of interest on
advances to their members. If dividends were reduced, or
interest on future FHLB advances increased, CFBanks net
interest income would be affected. Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act (the GLB Act), membership in the FHLB is now
voluntary for all federally-chartered savings associations, such
as CFBank. The GLB Act also replaces the existing redeemable
stock structure of the FHLB System with a capital structure that
requires each FHLB to meet a leverage limit and a risk-based
permanent capital requirement. Two classes of stock are
authorized: Class A (redeemable on six-month notice) and
Class B (redeemable on five-year notice).
Federal Reserve System. CFBank is subject to provisions
of the FRA and the FRBs regulations pursuant to which
depositary institutions may be required to maintain
non-interest-earning reserves against their deposit accounts and
certain other liabilities. Currently, reserves must be
maintained against transaction accounts (primarily NOW and
regular checking accounts). The FRB regulations generally
require that reserves be maintained in the amount of 3.0% of the
aggregate of transaction accounts up to $42.1 million. The
amount of aggregate transaction accounts in excess of
$42.1 million are currently subject to a reserve ratio of
10.0%. The FRB regulations currently exempt $6.0 million of
otherwise reservable balances from the reserve requirements,
which exemption is adjusted by the FRB at the end of each year.
CFBank is in compliance with the foregoing reserve requirements.
Because required reserves must be maintained in the form of
vault cash, a non interest-bearing account at a Federal Reserve
Bank, or a pass-through account as defined by the FRB, the
effect of this reserve requirement is to reduce CFBanks
interest-earning assets. The balances maintained to meet the
reserve requirements imposed by the FRB may be used to satisfy
liquidity requirements imposed by the OTS. FHLB System members
are also authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve discount
window, but FRB regulations require such institutions to exhaust
all FHLB sources before borrowing from a Federal Reserve Bank.
Privacy Regulations. Pursuant to the GLB Act, the OTS has
published final regulations implementing the privacy protection
provisions of the GLB Act. The new regulations generally require
that CFBank disclose its privacy policy, including identifying
with whom it shares a customers non-public personal
information, to customers at the time of establishing the
customer relationship and annually thereafter. In addition,
CFBank is required to provide its customers with the ability to
opt-out of having their personal information shared
with unaffiliated third parties and not to disclose account
numbers or access codes to non-affiliated third parties for
marketing purposes. CFBank currently has a privacy protection
policy in place and believes that such policy is in compliance
with the regulations.
The USA PATRIOT Act. CFBank is subject to the USA PATRIOT
Act, which gives the federal government new powers to address
terrorist threats through enhanced domestic security measures,
expanded surveillance powers, increased information sharing, and
broadened anti-money laundering requirements. By way of
amendments to the Bank Secrecy Act, Title III of the USA
PATRIOT Act takes measures intended to encourage information
sharing among bank regulatory agencies and law enforcement
bodies. Further, certain provisions of Title III impose
affirmative obligations on a broad range of financial
institutions,
57
including banks, thrifts, brokers, dealers, credit unions, money
transfer agents, and parties registered under the Commodity
Exchange Act.
Among other requirements, Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act
imposes the following requirements with respect to financial
institutions:
|
|
|
|
|
Pursuant to Section 352, all financial institutions
must establish anti-money laundering programs that include, at
minimum: (i) internal policies, procedures, and controls;
(ii) specific designation of an anti-money laundering
compliance officer; (iii) ongoing employee training
programs; and (iv) an independent audit function to test
the anti-money laundering program. |
|
|
|
Pursuant to Section 326, on May 9, 2003, the Secretary
of the Department of Treasury, in conjunction with other bank
regulators, issued Joint Final Rules that provide for minimum
standards with respect to customer identification and
verification. These rules became effective on October 1,
2003. |
Section 312 requires financial institutions that establish,
maintain, administer, or manage private banking accounts or
correspondent accounts in the United States for non-United
States persons or their representatives (including foreign
individuals visiting the United States) to establish
appropriate, specific, and, where necessary, enhanced due
diligence policies, procedures, and controls designed to detect
and report money laundering.
|
|
|
|
|
Effective December 25, 2001, financial institutions are
prohibited from establishing, maintaining, administering, or
managing correspondent accounts for foreign shell banks (foreign
banks that do not have a physical presence in any country), and
will be subject to certain record keeping obligations with
respect to correspondent accounts of foreign banks. |
|
|
|
Bank regulators are directed to consider a holding
companys effectiveness in combating money laundering when
ruling on FRA and Bank Merger Act applications. |
Holding Company Regulation
Central Federal is a savings and loan holding company regulated
by the OTS. As such, it is registered with and is subject to OTS
examination and supervision, as well as certain reporting
requirements. In addition, the OTS has enforcement authority
over Central Federal and any of its non-savings institution
subsidiaries. Among other things, this authority permits the OTS
to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a
serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of
a subsidiary savings institution. Unlike bank holding companies,
federal savings and loan holding companies are not subject to
any regulatory capital requirements or to supervision by the
Federal Reserve System.
Permissible Activities of Central Federal Corporation.
Because CFBank was acquired by Central Federal prior to
May 4, 1999, Central Federal is permitted to engage in the
following non-financial activities under the GLB Act:
(i) furnishing or performing management services for a
savings institution subsidiary of such holding company;
(ii) conducting an insurance agency or escrow business;
(iii) holding, managing, or liquidating assets owned or
acquired from a savings institution subsidiary of such company;
(iv) holding or managing properties used or occupied by a
savings institution subsidiary of such company; (v) acting
as trustee under a deed of trust; (vi) any other activity
(a) that the FRB, by regulation, has determined to be
permissible for bank holding companies under Section 4(c)
of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the BHC
Act), unless the Director of the OTS, by regulation,
prohibits or limits any such activity for savings and loan
holding companies, or (b) in which multiple savings and
loan holding companies were authorized by regulation to directly
engage in on March 5, 1987; (vii) purchasing, holding,
or disposing of stock acquired in connection with a qualified
stock issuance if the purchase of such stock by such holding
company is approved by the Director of the OTS; and
(viii) any activity permissible for financial holding
companies under section 4(k) of the BHC Act.
Permissible activities which are deemed to be financial in
nature or incidental thereto under section 4(k) of the BHC
Act include: (i) lending, exchanging, transferring,
investing for others, or safeguarding money or securities;
(ii) insurance activities or providing and issuing
annuities, and acting as principal, agent, or broker;
58
(iii) financial, investment, or economic advisory services;
(iv) issuing or selling instruments representing interests
in pools of assets that a bank is permitted to hold directly;
(v) underwriting, dealing in, or making a market in
securities; (vi) activities previously determined by the
FRB to be closely related to banking; (vii) activities that
bank holding companies are permitted to engage in outside of the
U.S.; and (viii) portfolio investments made by an insurance
company.
Restrictions Applicable to All Savings and Loan Holding
Companies. Federal law prohibits a savings and loan holding
company, including Central Federal, directly or indirectly, from
acquiring: (i) control (as defined under HOLA) of another
savings institution (or a holding company parent) without prior
OTS approval; (ii) through merger, consolidation, or
purchase of assets, another savings institution or a holding
company thereof, or acquiring all or substantially all of the
assets of such institution (or a holding company) without prior
OTS approval; or (iii) control of any depository
institution not insured by the FDIC (except through a merger
with and into the holding companys savings institution
subsidiary that is approved by the OTS).
A savings and loan holding company may not acquire as a separate
subsidiary an insured institution that has a principal office
outside of the state where the principal office of its
subsidiary institution is located, except (i) in the case
of certain emergency acquisitions approved by the FDIC,
(ii) if such holding company controls a savings institution
subsidiary that operated a home or branch office in such
additional state as of March 5, 1987 or (iii) if the
laws of the state in which the savings institution to be
acquired is located specifically authorize a savings institution
chartered by that state to be acquired by a savings institution
chartered by the state where the acquiring savings institution
or savings and loan holding company is located or by a holding
company that controls such a state-chartered association.
If the savings institution subsidiary of a federal mutual
holding company fails to meet the QTL test set forth in
Section 10(m) of the HOLA and regulations of the OTS, the
holding company must register with the FRB as a bank holding
company under the BHC Act within one year of the savings
institutions failure to so qualify.
Prohibitions Against Tying Arrangements. Federal savings
banks are subject to the prohibitions of 12 U.S.C.
§ 1972 on certain tying arrangements. A depository
institution is prohibited, subject to some exceptions, from
extending credit to or offering any other service, or fixing or
varying the consideration for such extension of credit or
service, on the condition that the customer obtain some
additional service from the institution or its affiliates or not
obtain services of a competitor of the institution.
Federal Securities Laws. Our common stock is registered
with the SEC under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and,
accordingly, we are subject to information, proxy solicitation,
insider trading restrictions, and other requirements under the
Exchange Act.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As a public company, we are
subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which implements a broad
range of corporate governance and accounting measures for public
companies designed to promote honesty and transparency in
corporate America and better protect investors from corporate
wrongdoing. The Sarbanes-Oxley Acts principal legislation
and the derivative regulation and rule making promulgated by the
SEC includes: (i) the creation of an independent accounting
oversight board; (ii) auditor independence provisions that
restrict non-audit services that accountants may provide to
their audit clients; (iii) additional corporate governance
and responsibility measures, including the requirement that the
chief executive officer and chief financial officer certify
financial statements; (iv) a requirement that companies
establish and maintain a system of internal control over
financial reporting and that a companys management provide
an annual report regarding its assessment of the effectiveness
of such internal control over financial reporting to our
independent accountants and that such accountants provide an
attestation report with respect to managements assessment
of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting; (v) the forfeiture of bonuses or other
incentive-based compensation and profits from the sale of an
issuers securities by directors and senior officers in the
twelve month period following initial publication of any
financial statements that later require restatement;
(vi) an increase in the oversight of, and enhancement of
certain requirements relating to audit committees of public
companies and how they interact with our independent auditors;
(vii) the requirement that audit committee members must be
independent and are absolutely barred
59
from accepting consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees
from the issuer; (viii) the requirement that companies
disclose whether at least one member of the committee is a
financial expert (as such term is defined by the
SEC) and if not, why not; (ix) expanded disclosure
requirements for corporate insiders, including accelerated
reporting of stock transactions by insiders and a prohibition on
insider trading during pension blackout periods; (x) a
prohibition on personal loans to directors and officers, except
certain loans made by insured financial institutions;
(xi) disclosure of a code of ethics and the requirement of
filing of a Form 8-K for a change or waiver of such code;
(xii) mandatory disclosure by analysts of potential
conflicts of interest; and (xiii) a range of enhanced
penalties for fraud and other violations.
Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the regulations
promulgated thereunder may have a material impact on our results
of operations and financial condition, as the internal control
rules become applicable to non-accelerated filers in 2007.
Quotation on Nasdaq®. Our common stock is quoted on
the Nasdaq® Capital Market. In order to maintain such
quotation, we are subject to certain corporate governance
requirements, including: (i) a majority of our board must
be composed of independent directors; (ii) we are required
to have an audit committee composed of at least three directors,
each of whom is an independent director, as such term is defined
by both the rules of the National Association of Securities
Dealers (NASD) and by Exchange Act regulations;
(iii) our nominating committee and compensation committee
must also be composed entirely of independent directors; and
(iv) each of our audit committee and nominating committee
must have a publicly available written charter.
Federal and State Taxation
General. We report income on a calendar year,
consolidated basis using the accrual method of accounting, and
are subject to federal income taxation in the same manner as
other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. The
following discussion of tax matters is intended only as a
summary and does not purport to be a comprehensive description
of the tax rules applicable to the holding company. For our 2005
taxable year, we are subject to a maximum federal income tax
rate of 34%.
Distributions. Under the 1996 Act, if CFBank makes
non-dividend distributions to the holding company,
such distributions will be considered to have been made from
CFBanks unrecaptured tax bad debt reserves (including the
balance of its reserves as of December 31, 1987) to the
extent thereof, and then from CFBanks supplemental reserve
for losses on loans, to the extent thereof, and an amount based
on the amount distributed (but not in excess of the amount of
such reserves) will be included in CFBanks taxable income.
Non-dividend distributions include distributions in excess of
CFBanks current and accumulated earnings and profits, as
calculated for federal income tax purposes, distributions in
redemption of stock, and distributions in partial or complete
liquidation.
Dividends paid out of CFBanks current or accumulated
earnings and profits will not be so included in CFBanks
taxable income. At September 30, 2005, CFBank had no
accumulated earnings and profits. At year-end 2004, CFBank had
approximately $922,000 in accumulated earnings and profits.
The amount of additional taxable income triggered by a
non-dividend is an amount that, when reduced by the tax
attributable to the income, is equal to the amount of the
distribution. Thus, if CFBank makes a non-dividend distribution
to the holding company, approximately one and one-half times the
amount of such distribution (but not in excess of the amount of
such reserves) would be includable in income for federal income
tax purposes, assuming a 34% federal corporate income tax rate.
CFBank does not intend to pay dividends that would result in a
recapture of any portion of its bad debt reserves.
We are subject to the Ohio corporation franchise tax, which, as
applied to the holding company, is a tax measured by both net
earnings and net worth. In general, the tax liability is the
greater of 5.1% on the first $50,000 of computed Ohio taxable
income and 8.5% of computed Ohio taxable income in excess of
$50,000 or
60
0.4% of taxable net worth. Under these alternative measures of
computing tax liability, complex formulas determine the
jurisdictions to which total net income and total net worth are
apportioned or allocated. The minimum tax is $1,000 per
year and maximum tax liability as measured by net worth is
limited to $150,000 per year.
A special litter tax also applies to all corporations, including
the holding company, subject to the Ohio corporation franchise
tax. This litter tax does not apply to financial
institutions. If the franchise tax is paid on the net
income basis, the litter tax is equal to 0.11% of the first
$50,000 of computed Ohio taxable income and 0.22% of computed
Ohio taxable income in excess of $50,000. If the franchise tax
is paid on the net worth basis, the litter tax is equal to
0.014% times taxable net worth. Certain holding companies, such
as the holding company, will qualify for complete exemption from
the net worth tax if certain conditions are met. We most likely
will meet these conditions, and thus, calculate our Ohio
franchise tax on the net income basis.
CFBank is a financial institution for State of Ohio
tax purposes. As such, it is subject to the Ohio corporate
franchise tax on financial institutions, which is
imposed annually at a rate of 1.3% of CFBanks apportioned
book net worth, determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, less any statutory deduction. As a
financial institution, CFBank is not subject to any
tax based upon net income or net profits imposed by the State of
Ohio.
As a Delaware holding company that does not earn income in
Delaware, we are exempted from Delaware corporate income tax,
but we are required to file an annual report with and pay an
annual franchise tax to the State of Delaware.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR COMMON STOCK
General
Central Federal Corporation, a Delaware corporation, has
authorized capital stock consisting of 6,000,000 shares of
common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the preferred stock).
At September 30, 2005, 2,243,662 shares of common
stock were issued and outstanding and held by approximately 568
holders of record and individual participants in security
position listings. No shares of preferred stock were outstanding
on that date or are outstanding on the date of this prospectus.
The common stock is listed on the Nasdaq® Capital Market
under the ticker symbol GCFC. Each share of common
stock is entitled to one vote on all matters presented to
stockholders. No shares of preferred stock are issued and
outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.
The common stock represents non-withdrawable capital, is not an
account of an insurable type, and is not insured by the FDIC or
any governmental agency.
Dividends, Voting Rights, Liquidation Provisions and
Preemptive Rights
Dividends. We can pay dividends out of statutory surplus
or from certain net profits if, as and when declared by our
Board. Our payment of dividends may be subject to limitations
imposed by law and applicable regulation. The holders of common
stock are entitled to receive and share equally in such
dividends as may be declared by the Board out of funds legally
available therefore. If we issue preferred stock, the holders of
shares of preferred stock may have a priority over the holders
of shares of common stock with respect to the receipt of
dividends.
Voting Rights. The holders of common stock have voting
rights. They elect the Board and act on such other matters as
are required to be presented to them under Delaware law or our
Certificate of Incorporation, as well as any other matter that
properly comes before the stockholders. Each share of common
stock is entitled to one vote; there is no right to cumulate
votes in the election of directors. If we hereafter issue
preferred stock, holders of shares of preferred stock also may
possess voting rights.
Liquidation Provisions. In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of CFBank, we, as holder of
CFBanks capital stock, would be entitled to receive, after
payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of
CFBank (including all deposit accounts and accrued interest
thereon and any remaining rights under the liquidation account
established in connection with CFBanks conversion from
mutual to stock form in 1998), all assets of CFBank available
for distribution. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution
or winding up, the holders of our common stock would be entitled
to receive, after payment or provision for payment of all our
debts and liabilities, all our assets available for
distribution. If preferred stock is issued, the holders of
preferred stock may have a priority over the holders of common
stock in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
Preemptive Rights. Holders of common stock are not
entitled to preemptive rights with respect to any shares that
may be issued. Common stock is not subject to redemption.
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws Provisions that Might
Delay, Defer or Prevent a Change in Control
Several provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws, the laws of Delaware and federal regulations limit the
ability of any person to acquire a controlling interest in us
and thus may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect. The
following discussion is a general summary of those provisions.
Copies of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may be
obtained from us upon request without cost to you. See
Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference
at page 66 below.
Ability to Issue Preferred Stock. None of the authorized
shares of our preferred stock are issued and outstanding.
However, shares of our preferred stock may be issued at any time
with such preferences and
62
designations as the Board may determine. The Board can, without
stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting,
dividend, liquidation and conversion rights, which could dilute
the voting strength of the holders of common stock and may
assist management in impeding a takeover or attempted change in
our control.
Limitation on Voting Rights. The Certificate of
Incorporation provides that in no event shall any record
beneficial owner of any outstanding common stock in excess of
10% of the then outstanding shares of the common stock (the
Limit) be entitled or permitted to any vote in
respect of the shares held in excess of the Limit. Beneficial
ownership is determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the
General Rules and Regulations promulgated pursuant to the
Exchange Act, and includes (i) shares beneficially owned by
such person or any affiliate (as defined in Exchange Act
Rule 12b-2), (ii) shares which such person or his
affiliates have the right to acquire pursuant to any agreement
or understanding, including without limitation upon the exercise
of conversion rights or options and (iii) shares as to
which such person or his affiliates are deemed to have
beneficial ownership through any partnership, syndicate or group
acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or
disposing of shares of common stock. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, shares with respect to which a revocable proxy has
been granted in connection with a meeting of stockholders and
shares beneficially owned by any benefit plan of ours are not
subject to the limitation, and none of our directors or officers
(or any affiliate) will be deemed to beneficially own shares of
common stock of any other director or officer of (or any
affiliate) solely by reason of service as a director or officer
of Central Federal Corporation.
Classified Board of Directors. The Board is divided into
three classes, each of which contains one-third of the whole
number of members of the Board. Each class serves a staggered
term, with one-third of the total number of directors being
elected each year. The Certificate of Incorporation provides
that the size of the Board is fixed from time to time by a
majority of the directors. The Certificate of Incorporation
provides that any vacancy occurring in the Board, including a
vacancy resulting from death, resignation, retirement,
disqualification, removal from office or other cause, may be
filled for the remainder of the unexpired term exclusively by a
majority vote of the directors then in office. The classified
Board is intended to provide for continuity of the Board and to
make it more difficult and time consuming for a stockholder
group to fully use its voting power to gain control of the Board
without the consent of the incumbent Board. The Bylaws provide
that a stockholder may nominate any person to serve as a
director, but notice of such nomination generally must be
provided to us no later than 90 days prior to the meeting
date. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director
may be removed from the Board prior to the expiration of his
term only for cause, upon the vote of 80% of the outstanding
shares of voting stock. In the absence of these provisions, the
vote of the holders of a majority of the shares could remove the
entire Board, with or without cause, and replace it with persons
of the stockholders choice.
No Cumulative Voting; No Special Meetings Called by
Stockholders; No Action by Written Consent. The Certificate
of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting for any
purpose. Moreover, special meetings of our stockholders may be
called only by the Board. The Certificate of Incorporation and
Article I, Section 9 of our Bylaws provide that any
action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders may
be taken only at an annual or special meeting and prohibit
stockholder action by written consent in lieu of a meeting.
Availability of Authorized Shares. The Certificate of
Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 6,000,000 shares
of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
The authorization of these shares gives the Board flexibility to
effect financings, acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits
and employee stock options, among other transactions. However,
these additional authorized shares also may be used by the
Board, consistent with its fiduciary duty, to deter future
attempts to gain control of Central Federal Corporation. The
Board also has sole authority to determine the terms of any one
or more series of preferred stock, including voting rights,
conversion rates and liquidation preferences. As a result of the
ability to fix voting rights for a series of preferred stock,
the Board has the power, to the extent consistent with its
fiduciary duty, to issue a series of preferred stock to persons
friendly to management in order to attempt to block a
post-tender offer merger or other transaction by which a third
party seeks control, and thereby assist management to retain its
position.
Supermajority Stockholder Vote Required to Approve Business
Combinations with Principal Stockholders. The Certificate of
Incorporation requires the approval of the holders of at least
80% of our outstanding
63
shares of voting stock to approve certain Business
Combinations, as defined below, and related transactions.
Under Delaware law, absent this provision, business
combinations, including mergers, consolidations and sales of all
or substantially all the assets of a corporation must, subject
to certain exceptions, be approved by the vote of the holders of
only a majority of the outstanding shares of its common stock
and any other affected class of stock. Under the Certificate of
Incorporation, at least 80% approval of stockholders is required
in connection with any transaction involving an Interested
Stockholder (as defined below) except (i) in cases where
the proposed transaction has been approved in advance by a
majority of those members of the Board who are unaffiliated with
the Interested Stockholder and were directors prior to the time
when the Interested Stockholder became an Interested Stockholder
or (ii) if the proposed transaction meets certain
conditions set forth therein which are designed to afford the
stockholders a fair price in consideration for their shares; in
which case, if a stockholder vote is required, approval of only
a majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock would be
sufficient. The term Interested Stockholder is
defined in the Certificate of Incorporation to include any
individual, corporation, partnership or other entity (other than
Central Federal Corporation or its subsidiary) which owns
beneficially or controls, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of
the outstanding shares of our voting stock. This provision of
the Certificate of Incorporation applies to any Business
Combination, which is defined to include (i) any
merger or consolidation of Central Federal Corporation or any of
its subsidiaries with or into any Interested Stockholder or
Affiliate (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) of an
Interested Stockholder; (ii) any sale, lease, exchange,
mortgage, pledge, transfer, or other disposition to or with any
Interested Stockholder or Affiliate of 10% or more of our
assets; (iii) our issuance or transfer to any Interested
Stockholder or its Affiliate of any of our securities in
exchange for any assets, cash or securities the value of which
equals or exceeds 10% of the fair market value of our common
stock; (iv) the adoption of any plan for our liquidation or
dissolution proposed by or on behalf of any Interested
Stockholder or Affiliate thereof and (v) any
reclassification of securities, recapitalization, merger or
consolidation of Central Federal Corporation which has the
effect of increasing the proportionate share of our common stock
or any class of our other equity or convertible securities owned
directly or indirectly by an Interested Stockholder or Affiliate
thereof.
Supermajority Stockholder Vote Required to Amend Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws. Amendment of our Certificate of
Incorporation must be approved by a majority vote of our Board
or by the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the outstanding
shares of our voting stock entitled to vote (after giving effect
to the provision limiting voting rights) in order to amend or
repeal certain provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation,
including the provisions relating to voting rights
(Article Fourth, Part C), management of our business
and conduct of our affairs and calling special meetings
(Article Fifth), the number and classification of directors
and nominations (Article Sixth), amendment of the Bylaws
(Article Seventh), approval of certain business
combinations (Article Eighth), director and officer
indemnification (Article Tenth) and amendment of our
Certificate of Incorporation (Article Twelfth).
Article VIII of the Bylaws specifies that the Bylaws may be
amended only by a majority of the members of the Board or by the
affirmative vote of stockholders holding at least 80% of the
outstanding shares of common stock.
Lengthy Notice Required to Nominate Candidates for
Director. Article Sixth of the Certificate of
Incorporation incorporates by reference Article I,
Section 6 of the Bylaws, as it pertains to stockholder
nominations for director. As noted above, a stockholder who
intends to nominate a candidate for election to the Board must
give us at least 90 days advance notice. Article I,
Section 6 of the Bylaws also requires a stockholder to give
90 days prior notice with respect to any new business; the
stockholder also must provide certain information to us
concerning the nature of the new business, the stockholder and
the stockholders interest in the business matter.
Similarly, a stockholder wishing to nominate any person for
election as a director must provide us with certain information
concerning the nominee and the proposing stockholder.
Regulatory Restrictions and Provisions of Delaware Law that
Might Delay, Defer or Prevent a Change in Control
Regulatory Restrictions. Federal law provides that no
company, directly or indirectly or acting in concert with
one or more persons, or through one or more subsidiaries, or
through one or more transactions, may acquire
control of a savings association at any time without
the prior approval of the OTS. In addition,
64
any company that acquires such control becomes a savings
and loan holding company subject to registration,
examination and regulation as a savings and loan holding
company. Control in this context means ownership of, control of,
or holding proxies representing more than 25% of the voting
shares of a savings association or the power to control in any
manner the election of a majority of the directors of such
institution.
Federal law also provides that no person, acting
directly or indirectly or through or in concert with one or more
other persons, may acquire control of a savings association
unless at least 60 days prior written notice has been given
to the OTS and the OTS has not objected to the proposed
acquisition. Control is defined for this purpose as the power,
directly or indirectly, to direct the management or policies of
a savings association or to vote more than 25% of any class of
voting securities of a savings association. Under federal law
(as well as the regulations referred to below) the term
savings association includes state-chartered and
federally-chartered SAIF-insured institutions,
federally-chartered savings and loans and savings banks whose
accounts are insured by the FDIC and holding companies thereof.
Federal regulations require that, prior to obtaining control of
an insured institution, a person, other than a company, must
give 60 days notice to the OTS and have received no OTS
objection to such acquisition of control, and a company must
apply for and receive OTS approval of the acquisition. Control
involves a 25% voting stock test, control in any manner of the
election of a majority of the institutions directors, or a
determination by the OTS that the acquiror has the power to
direct, or directly or indirectly to exercise a controlling
influence over, the management or policies of the institution.
Acquisition of more than 10% of an institutions voting
stock, if the acquiror also is subject to any one of a number of
control factors, constitutes a rebuttable
determination of control under the regulations. The
determination of control may be rebutted by submission to the
OTS, prior to the acquisition of stock or the occurrence of any
other circumstances giving rise to such determination, of a
statement setting forth facts and circumstances which would
support a finding that no control relationship will exist and
containing certain undertakings. The regulations provide that
persons or companies which acquire beneficial ownership
exceeding 10% or more of any class of a savings
associations stock after the effective date of the
regulations must file with the OTS a certification that the
holder is not in control of such institution, is not subject to
a rebuttable determination of control and will take no action
which would result in a determination or rebuttable
determination of control without prior notice to or approval of
the OTS, as applicable.
Delaware Law. Delaware law provides additional protection
against hostile takeovers. The Delaware takeover statute, which
is codified in Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (Section 203), is intended to
discourage certain takeover practices by impeding the ability of
a hostile acquiror to engage in certain transactions with the
target company.
In general, Section 203 provides that a Person
(as defined therein) who owns 15% or more of the outstanding
voting stock of a Delaware corporation (an Interested
Stockholder) may not consummate a merger or other business
combination transaction with such corporation at any time during
the three-year period following the date such Person
became an Interested Stockholder. The term business
combination is defined broadly to cover a wide range of
corporate transactions including mergers, sales of assets,
issuances of stock, transactions with subsidiaries and the
receipt of disproportionate financial benefits.
The statute exempts the following transactions from the
requirements of Section 203: (i) any business
combination if, prior to the date a person became an Interested
Stockholder, the Board approved either the business combination
or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an
Interested Stockholder; (ii) any business combination
involving a person who acquired at least 85% of the outstanding
voting stock in the transaction in which he became an Interested
Stockholder, with the number of shares outstanding calculated
without regard to those shares owned by the corporations
directors who are also officers and by certain employee stock
plans; (iii) any business combination with an Interested
Stockholder that is approved by the Board and by a two-thirds
vote of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the Interested
Stockholder; and (iv) certain business combinations that
are proposed after the corporation had received other
acquisition proposals and which are approved or not opposed by a
majority of certain continuing members of the Board. A
corporation may exempt itself from the requirements of the
statute by adopting an amendment to its Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws electing not to be governed by
Section 203.

UNDERWRITING
Subject to the terms and conditions stated in the underwriting
agreement, we have agreed to sell, and the underwriter, Ryan
Beck & Co., Inc., has agreed to
purchase 2,000,000 shares of our common stock. The
common stock will be offered subject to receipt and acceptance
by the underwriter and to certain other conditions, including
the right to reject orders in whole or in part.
Under the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement,
the underwriter is obligated to accept and pay for all the
shares of common stock, if any are taken. The underwriting
agreement provides that the underwriters obligations are
subject to approval of certain legal matters by its counsel,
including the authorization and the validity of the common
stock, and to other conditions contained in the underwriting
agreement, such as effectiveness with the Commission of the
registration statement that includes this prospectus and the
receipt by the underwriter of certificates from our officers,
legal opinions from our attorneys and a letter from our
independent accountants regarding our financial statements and
the statistical data contained in this prospectus and in our
filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
Exchange Act).
We have been advised that the underwriter proposes to offer the
shares of our common stock to the public at the public offering
price set forth on the cover of this prospectus and to certain
selected dealers at this price, less a concession not in excess
of
$ per
share. The underwriter may allow, and any selected dealer may
reallow, a concession not to exceed
$ per
share to certain brokers and dealers. After the shares of common
stock are released for sale to the public, the offering price
and other selling terms may from time to time be changed by the
underwriter.
In addition, we have granted the underwriter an option to
purchase additional shares of our common stock, not to exceed
300,000 shares, on the same terms as other shares purchased
by the underwriter. The underwriter may exercise this option at
any time during a period of 30 days following completion of
the offering. If the underwriter exercises its option in full,
the total offering price, aggregate discounts and commissions
and net proceeds before expenses of the offering each will
increase by 15%. The underwriter may exercise its option solely
for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in
connection with the distribution. If the over-allotment option
is exercised in full, the total public offering price,
underwriting discounts and commissions and proceeds to us before
expenses will be
$ ,
$ and
$ ,
respectively.
The following table shows the per share and total underwriting
discounts and commissions to be paid by us in connection with
this offering. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise
and full exercise of the underwriters over-allotment
option.

The underwriter has informed us that it does not intend to
confirm sales to any accounts over which it exercises
discretionary authority.
Following the
offering, shares
of our common stock held by our directors and executive officers
will be subject to a lock-up period
through ,
2006, during which the holders of such shares may not, without
the underwriters prior written consent, directly or
indirectly, offer for sale, sell, contract to sell, or grant any
option to sell (including any short sale), pledge, transfer,
assign or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock or
securities exchangeable for or convertible into shares of our
common stock. The underwriter has no present intention to waive
or shorten the lock-up period. The underwriters
determination to release all or any portion of the shares from
the lock-up agreements will depend on several factors including
the market price and demand for our common stock and the general
condition of the securities markets. However, the
underwriters decision is arbitrary and may not be based on
any specific parameters.
We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by
us, not including underwriting discounts and commissions and not
taking into consideration the underwriters over-allotment
option, will be approximately $450,000. These expenses and the
estimated amount of each include, but are not limited to:
68
Commission registration fee, $2,500; Nasdaq® fee, $25,000;
accounting fees and expenses, $60,000; legal fees and expenses,
$225,000; printing expenses, $75,000; transfer agent fees,
$10,000; and blue skies fees and expenses, and miscellaneous
expenses, $52,500.
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriter and its controlling
persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) and
the Exchange Act and liabilities arising from breaches of the
representations, warranties and covenants contained in the
underwriting agreement, and, under certain conditions, to
contribute to any payment that the underwriter may be required
to make for those liabilities.
In connection with this offering, the underwriter may engage in
stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, covering
transactions and penalty bids in accordance with
Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
|
|
|
|
|
Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying
security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a
specified maximum. |
|
|
|
Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriter of shares in
excess of the number of shares the underwriter is obligated to
purchase, which creates a short position. The short position may
be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In
a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by
the underwriter is not greater than the number of shares that it
may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short
position, the number of shares involved is greater than the
number of shares in the over-allotment option. The underwriter
may close out any covered short position by either exercising
its over-allotment option or purchasing shares in the open
market. |
|
|
|
Covering transactions involve the purchase of common stock in
the open market after the distribution has been completed in
order to cover short positions. In determining the source of
shares to close out the short position, the underwriter will
consider, among other things, the price of shares available for
purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which it
may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. If the
underwriter sells more shares than could be covered by the
over-allotment option (a naked short position), the
position can be closed out only by buying shares in the open
market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if
the underwriter is concerned that there could be downward
pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after
pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in
this offering. |
|
|
|
Penalty bids permit the underwriter to reclaim a selling
concession from a selected dealer when the common stock
originally sold by the selected dealer is purchased in a
stabilizing covering transaction to cover short positions. |
These stabilizing transactions, covering transactions and
penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the
market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a
decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result,
the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that
might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may
be effected on The Nasdaq® Capital Market or otherwise and,
if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
At our request, the underwriter has reserved up to
75,000 shares of our common stock for purchase by our
officers, directors and employees in the offering. Such
participation is permitted where a specific portion of the
offering is directed for sale to officers, directors and
employees by the issuer. Executive officers and directors who
purchase shares will be subject to a lock-up period
through ,
2006, during which they will be prohibited from the sale,
transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation of our common
stock.

COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Sections 102(b)(7) and 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law authorize the indemnification of officers and
directors in defense of any civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative proceeding. Articles Tenth and Eleventh of
our Certificate of Incorporation provide for indemnification in
terms consistent with the statutory authority, and we maintain
insurance covering certain liabilities of our directors and
elected and appointed officers and those of our subsidiaries,
including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and
controlling persons pursuant to the provisions of our
Certificate of Incorporation, or otherwise, we have been advised
that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the SEC) and in compliance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Because this report is based on an interim period,
certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of the management of Central Federal Corporation
(the Company), the accompanying consolidated
financial statements as of September 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004 and for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004 include all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and
the results of operations for those periods. The financial
performance reported for the Company for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. This
information should be read in conjunction with the
Companys Annual Report to Shareholders and
Form 10-KSB for the period ended December 31, 2004.
Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company
described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements contained in the Companys 2004 Annual Report
that was filed as Exhibit 13 to the Form 10-KSB. The
Company has consistently followed those policies in preparing
this Form 10-QSB.
Internal financial information is primarily reported and
aggregated in two lines of business, banking and mortgage
services.
Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Stock based incentive plan shares are considered
outstanding as they are earned over the vesting period. Diluted
earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of stock
based incentive plan shares and additional potential common
shares issuable under stock options.

The following potential average common shares were anti-dilutive
and not considered in computing diluted loss per share because
the Company had a loss from continuing operations, the exercise
price of the options was greater than the average stock price
for the periods or the fair value of the stock based incentive
plan shares at the date of grant was greater than the average
stock price for the periods.

Employee compensation expense under stock options is reported
using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation
cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an
exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the
underlying common stock at date of grant. The following table
illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if
expense was measured using the fair value recognition provisions
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards

On June 23, 2005, the Board of Directors approved the
accelerated vesting of all unvested stock options awarded prior
to 2005 to eligible participants under the 1999 Stock Based
Incentive Plan and the 2003 Equity Compensation Plan. As a
result of the acceleration, unvested options granted in 2003 and
2004 to acquire 102,000 shares of the registrants
common stock, which otherwise would have vested on various dates
thru January 16, 2008, became immediately exercisable. All
other terms and conditions applicable to options granted under
these plans, including the exercise prices and the number of
shares subject to the accelerated options, are unchanged. No
compensation expense was recognized from the accelerated vesting
of the stock options, because all options had an exercise price
greater than the companys stock price on June 23,
2005.
The decision to accelerate the vesting of these options was
related to the issuance of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment
(SFAS 123R). In accordance with the provisions
of SFAS 123R, the registrant will adopt the pronouncement
on January 1, 2006 and believes the above-mentioned
acceleration of vesting will eliminate compensation expense
related to these options of approximately $115 and $33 in 2006
and 2007. The total expense is reflected in the pro forma

footnote disclosure above, as permitted under the transition

As a result of the acceleration of the vesting of these options,
the Company currently has no options which will be unvested at
January 1, 2006. Future option grants will be accounted for
in accordance with SFAS 123R.

Unrealized losses on the above securities have not been
recognized in income because the issuers of the bonds are all
federal agencies and municipal bonds with high credit ratings
and the decline in fair value is temporary and largely due to
changes in market interest rates. The fair value is expected to
recover as the bonds approach their maturity date and/or market
rates decline.

Note 5 Securitizaton
On June 30, 2005, the Company securitized single-family
residential mortgage loans with an outstanding principal balance
of $18.6 million, formerly held in its portfolio, with
Freddie Mac. The Company continues to hold the securities and
service the loans. The Company receives annual servicing fees of
0.25 percent of the outstanding balance. Since the Company
cannot de-securitize the securities to get back the loans, the
securitization is not considered a sale or transfer under
SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, but an
exchange of loans for securities under SFAS No. 134,
Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the
Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage
Banking Enterprise and SFAS No. 115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
because the Company received the beneficial interest in the
loans it transferred to Freddie Mac. As such, the mortgage
backed securities were recorded at the cost of the loans and

Goodwill was related to the October 2004 acquisition of Reserve
Mortgage Services, Inc., the Companys mortgage services
division. The acquisition of Reserve was expected to be
immediately accretive to earnings. Unfortunately, the Reserve
operation has experienced loss, rather than the expected
profits. Management does not believe that volumes will achieve a
sufficient level to support the recorded goodwill. As a result,
a goodwill impairment loss of $1,749 was recorded in the quarter
ended September 30, 2005. The fair value of the mortgage
services segment was estimated using the expected present value
of future cash flows in determining the impairment loss.
Other intangible assets were as follows:

Aggregate amortization expense was $20 and $82 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2005. There was no
amortization expense in the prior year periods as the assets
were acquired in the Companys purchase of Reserve Mortgage
Services, Inc. in October 2004.
In association with the goodwill impairment loss discussed
above, it was determined that the carrying amount of other
intangible assets was not recoverable and exceeded the fair
value. An impairment loss of $217, the unamortized balance of
other intangible assets, was recorded in the quarter ended
September 30, 2005.

responsibility of the companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements 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 audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Central Federal Corporation as of December 31,
2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

CENTRAL FEDERAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
(Dollars in thousands except per share data)
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The
consolidated financial statements include Central Federal
Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary, CFBank, and Reserve
Mortgage Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CFBank
since October 22, 2004, together referred to as the
Company. Intercompany transactions and balances are
eliminated in consolidation.
The Company provides financial services through its offices in
Fairlawn, Columbus, Wellsville and Calcutta, Ohio. Its primary
deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate
accounts, and its primary lending products are residential
mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all
loans are secured by specific items of collateral including
business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential
real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from
cash flow from operations of businesses. There are no
significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or
customer. However, the customers ability to repay their
loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic
conditions in the areas. Other financial instruments, which
potentially represent concentrations of credit risk, include
deposit accounts in other financial institutions.
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 actual results
could differ. The allowance for loan losses and fair values of
financial instruments are particularly subject to change.
Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents include cash and
deposits with other financial institutions under 90 days.
Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit
transactions, interest-bearing deposits in other financial
institutions and borrowings with original maturities under
90 days.
Interest-bearing Deposits in Other Financial
Institutions: Interest-bearing deposits in other financial
institutions mature within one year and are carried at cost.
Securities: Debt 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. Debt
securities are classified as available for sale when they might
be sold before maturity. Equity securities with readily
determinable fair values are classified as available for sale.
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with
unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other
comprehensive income. Other securities such as Federal Home
Loan Bank stock are carried at cost.
Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or
discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on
the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. Gains
and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and
determined using the specific identification method.
Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that
are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses. In
estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers:
(1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been
less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term
prospects of the issuer, and (3) the Companys ability
and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow
for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans originated and
intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the
lower of aggregate cost or market, as determined by outstanding
commitments from investors. Net unrealized losses, if any, are
recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to earnings.

Mortgage loans held for sale after 2003 are generally sold with
servicing rights released. Mortgage loans held for sale prior to
2004 were generally sold with servicing rights retained and the
carrying value of mortgage loans sold was reduced by the cost
allocated to the servicing right. Gains and losses on sales of
mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selling
price and the carrying value of the related loan sold.
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, net of
unearned interest, 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. Consumer and
credit card loans are typically charged-off no later than
90 days past due. Past due status is based on the
contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on
nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of
principal or interest is considered doubtful.
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.
Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses
is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses.
Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management
believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.
Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
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
managements judgment, should be charged-off.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The
specific component relates to loans that are individually
classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as
substandard or doubtful. The general component covers
non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience
adjusted for current factors.
A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not
expected. Commercial, multi-family residential and commercial
real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment. 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 loans existing rate
or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected
solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance
homogeneous loans, such as consumer and single-family
residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for
impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified
for impairment disclosures.
Servicing Rights: Servicing rights represent the
allocated value of retained servicing rights on loans sold.
Servicing assets are expensed in proportion to, and over the
period of, estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is
evaluated based on the fair value of the assets, using groupings
of the underlying loans as to interest rates and then,
secondarily, as to loan type and investor. Fair value is
determined using prices for similar assets with similar
characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash
flows using market-based assumptions. Any impairment of a
grouping is reported as a valuation allowance, to the extent
that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for a
grouping.

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)
Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of
loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value when
acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines
subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded
through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed.
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 7 to
40 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated
using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3
to 25 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the
lives of the respective leases.
Bank Owned Life Insurance: The Company has purchased life
insurance policies on certain key executives. Bank owned life
insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value, or the amount
that can be realized.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill results
from business acquisitions and represents the excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets
and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is
assessed at least annually for impairment and any such
impairment will be recognized in the period identified.
Other intangible assets consist of a noncompete agreement and
prior owner intangible assets arising from the acquisition of
Reserve Mortgage Services, Inc. They are initially measured at
fair value and then are amortized on the straight-line method
over their estimated useful lives.
Long-term Assets: Premises and equipment, other
intangible assets, and other long-term 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.
Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments:
Financial instruments include off-balance-sheet credit
instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial
letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The
face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss,
before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such
financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Stock Compensation: Employee compensation expense under
stock options is reported using the intrinsic value method. No
stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all
options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than
the market price of the underlying common stock at date of
grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income
and earnings per share if expense was measured using the fair
value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the
current year income tax due or refundable and the change in
deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the
temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of
assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A
valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to
the amount expected to be realized. Deferred tax assets are
recognized for net operating losses that expire primarily in
2023 and 2024 because the benefit is more likely than not to be
realized.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan: The cost of shares issued
to the ESOP, but not yet allocated to participants, is shown as
a reduction of shareholders equity. Compensation expense
is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to
be released to participant accounts. Dividends on allocated ESOP
shares reduce retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP
shares reduce debt and accrued interest. See
Note 13 ESOP Plan for information regarding
termination of this plan in 2003.
Earnings Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common
share is net income divided by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. ESOP shares are
considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned.
Stock based incentive plan shares are considered outstanding as
they are earned over the vesting period. Diluted earnings per
common share includes the dilutive effect of stock based
incentive plan shares and additional potential common shares
issuable under stock options.
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 a separate
component of equity.
Effect of Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting
Standards: In December 2004, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 123R, Share-Based Payment, a
revision of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. The revised SFAS 123, Share-Based
Payment, requires measurement of the cost of employee
services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments
based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost is to
be recognized over the period during which an employee is
required to provide service in exchange for the award. The
provisions of this statement will become effective
January 1, 2006 for all equity awards granted after the
effective date. The statement requires compensation cost for the
portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been
rendered that are outstanding as of the effective date be
recognized as the service is rendered on or after the effective
date. The Company currently reports employee compensation
expense under stock options using the intrinsic value method and
no stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as
all options were granted at an exercise price equal to or
greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at
date of grant. The adoption of this standard is expected to
reduce net income by $115 in 2006 reflecting the compensation
cost relative to unvested options at January 1, 2006.
In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) released
Issue 03-1, Meaning of Other Than Temporary
Impairment, which addressed other-than-
F-27
CENTRAL FEDERAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
(Dollars in thousands except per share data)
temporary impairment for certain debt and equity investments.
The recognition and measurement requirements of Issue 03-1,
and other disclosure requirements not already implemented, were
effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2004. In
September 2004, the FASB staff issued FASB Staff Position
(FSP) EITF 03-1-1, which delayed the effective date
for certain measurement and recognition guidance contained in
Issue 03-1. The FSP requires the application of
pre-existing other-than-temporary guidance during the period of
delay until a final consensus is reached. Management does not
anticipate the issuance of the final consensus will have a
material impact on the Companys financial condition,
results of operations or liquidity.
In December 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) 03-3,
Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a
Transfer. SOP 03-3 requires acquired loans, including
debt securities, to be recorded at the amount of the
purchasers initial investment and prohibits carrying over
valuation allowances from the seller for those
individually-evaluated loans that have evidence of deterioration
in credit quality since origination, and it is probable all
contractual cash flows on the loan will be unable to be
collected. SOP 03-3 also requires the excess of all
undiscounted cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition
over the purchasers initial investment to be recognized as
interest income on a level-yield basis over the life of the
loan. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be
collected are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of
the loans yield over its remaining life, while subsequent
decreases are recognized as impairment. Loans carried at fair
value, mortgage loans held for sale, and loans to borrowers in
good standing under revolving credit agreements are excluded
from the scope of SOP 03-3. The guidance is effective for
loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2004 and is not expected to have a material impact on the
Companys financial condition, results of operations, or
liquidity.
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 now are such
matters that will have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the
Federal Reserve Bank of $459 and $300 was required to meet
regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at year-end 2004
and 2003. These balances do not earn interest.
Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require
maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends
paid by the bank to the holding company or by the holding
company to shareholders.
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.
Operating Segments: 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.

Note 2 Business Combination
On October 22, 2004, the Company acquired 100% of the
outstanding common stock of RJO Financial Services, Inc., doing
business as Reserve Mortgage Services (Reserve), an Akron, Ohio
based company licensed as a mortgage banker in Ohio, Florida and
Georgia. Reserves name changed to Reserve Mortgage
Services, Inc. and it became an operating subsidiary of the Bank
on the date of the acquisition. Operating results of Reserve are
included in the consolidated financial statements since the date
of the acquisition. As a result of this acquisition, the Company
expects to significantly expand mortgage services and increase
mortgage loan production. The Company expects to sell most of
the mortgage loan production on a servicing-released basis.
The aggregate purchase price was $2,206, including $419 in cash
and $1,787 in common stock. The value of the 127,077 common
shares issued was determined based on the average market price
over the week before and after the terms of the acquisition were
agreed to and announced.
The purchase price resulted in goodwill of approximately $1,749,
a noncompete agreement of $25 and prior owner intangible of
$295. The noncompete agreement will be amortized over its one
year term and the prior owner intangible will be amortized over
3 years, using the straight-line method for book and tax
purposes. Goodwill will not be amortized but instead evaluated
annually for impairment. Goodwill is not deductible for tax
purposes.

Unrealized losses on the above securities have not been
recognized in income because the issuers of the bonds are all
federal agencies and the decline in fair value is temporary and
largely due to changes in market interest rates. The fair value
is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date
and/or market rates decline.
To improve liquidity, in 2003 the Company transferred all
securities previously classified as held to
maturity, which had a carrying value of $10,533, to
available for sale. The unrealized gain on the
securities transferred totaled $458 before tax. The
Companys equity and accumulated other comprehensive income
increased $302 after tax as a result of the transfer.

In December 2003, the Company prepaid $11,195 in Federal Home
Loan Bank advances, with an average cost of 5.52% and an
average remaining maturity of 4.5 years. These fixed-rate
advances were originated primarily in 1998 and 1999 and were
used to finance mortgage loans which had prepaid. Accordingly,
the loans represented an inappropriate and costly source of
funding which was not necessary due to the liquidity position of
the Company. The pre-tax prepayment penalty associated with this
transaction was $1,270 and is included in interest expense on
Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other debt in the 2003
Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The floating rate advances outstanding at year-end 2004 can be
prepaid at any time with no penalty. The advances were
collateralized by $41,269 and $34,795 of first mortgage loans
under a blanket lien arrangement, $695 and $0 second mortgage
loans, $10,372 and $0 of multi-family mortgage loans, $3,236 and
$0 of home equity lines of credit, $14,964 and $0 of commercial
real estate loans and $770 and $1,296 of securities at year-end
2004 and 2003. Based on this collateral and the Companys
holdings of FHLB stock, the Company is eligible to borrow up to
$42,713 at year-end 2004.

Note 10 Other Borrowings
The Company had a revolving line of credit with an unaffiliated
bank, acquired in the Reserve acquisition, which provides
financing up to $3,000 and matures June 30, 2005. Interest
on the outstanding balance is payable monthly at the prime rate
plus .25%. The line of credit is collateralized by loan sales
proceeds receivable. The outstanding balance was $2,238 and the
interest rate was 5.5% at year-end 2004.
The Company had a term note payable to an unaffiliated bank,
acquired in the Reserve acquisition, payable in monthly
installments of principal and interest of $1. Interest on the
note is at the prime rate plus .50%. The note is collateralized
by equipment and accounts receivable of Reserve and matures in
August 2005. The outstanding balance was $11 and the interest
rate was 5.75% at year-end 2004.
Note 11 Subordinated Debentures
A trust formed by the Company issued $5,000 of 3 month
LIBOR plus 2.85% floating rate trust preferred securities in
2003 as part of a pooled offering of such securities. The
Company issued subordinated debentures to the trust in exchange
for the proceeds of the offering, which debentures represent the
sole asset of the trust. The Company may redeem the subordinated
debentures, in whole but not in part, any time after five years
at par. The subordinated debentures must be redeemed no later
than 2033.
Under FASB Interpretation No. 46, as revised in December
2003, the trust is not consolidated with the Company.
Accordingly, the Company does not report the securities issued
by the trust as liabilities, and instead reports as liabilities
the subordinated debentures issued by the Company and held by
the trust.
There are no required payments on the subordinated debentures
over the next 5 years.
Note 12 Benefit Plans
Multi-employer pension plan: The Company participates in
a multi-employer contributory trusteed pension plan. The
retirement benefits to be provided by the plan were frozen as of
June 30, 2003 and future employee participation in the plan
was stopped. The plan was maintained for all eligible employees
and the benefits were funded as accrued through the purchase of
individual life insurance policies. The cost of funding was
charged directly to operations. The unfunded liability at
June 30, 2004 totaled $195. The Companys contribution
in 2004, for the plan year ending June 30, 2005, and in
2003, for the plan year ended June 30, 2004, totaled $66
and $34. The Company made no contribution for 2002.
401(k) Plan: In 2003, the Company instituted a 401(k)
benefit plan. Employees 21 years of age and older are
eligible to participate and are eligible for Company matching
contributions after one year of service.

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)
The plan allows employee contributions up to 90% of their
compensation, which may be matched by the Company on a
discretionary basis. There was no match in 2004 or 2003.
Stock Based Incentive Plans: Stock based incentive plans
(SBIP) provide for stock option grants and restricted stock
awards to directors, officers and employees. The 1999 Stock
Based Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders on
July 13, 1999. The plan provided for 193,887 shares
for stock option grants and 77,554 shares for restricted
stock awards. The 2003 Equity Compensation Plan was ratified by
shareholders on April 23, 2003 and provided an aggregate of
100,000 shares for stock option grants and restricted stock
awards, including up to a maximum of 30,000 shares for
restricted stock awards. An amendment and restatement of the
2003 Equity Compensation Plan was approved by stockholders on
April 20, 2004 to provide an additional 100,000 shares
of Company for stock options grants and restricted stock awards,
including up to a maximum of 30,000 shares for restricted
stock awards. Both plans provide for options to be granted for
terms of up to, but not exceeding ten years from the date of
grant and cannot be granted at a price less than the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of grant. Shares related
to forfeited stock options and restricted stock awards become
available for subsequent grant under the terms of the plans. See
Note 16 for discussion of stock options.
Compensation expense for restricted stock awards is recognized
over the vesting period of the shares based on the fair value of
the shares on the date of grant. Unearned compensation is
reported as a reduction of shareholders equity until
earned. Compensation expense was $243, $141 and $110 for 2004,
2003 and 2002.

Salary Continuation Agreement: In 2004, the Company
initiated a nonqualified salary continuation agreement for the
Chairman of the Board of Directors. Benefits provided under the
plan are unfunded, and payments to the Chairman will be made the
by Company. Under the plan, the Company pays him, or his
beneficiary, a benefit of $25,000 annually for 20 years,
beginning the earlier of March 2008 or termination of his
employment. The expense related to this plan totaled $38 in
2004. The accrual is included in accrued interest payable and
other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and totaled
$38 at year-end 2004.
Life Insurance Benefits: The Company entered into
agreements with certain employees, former employees and
directors to provide life insurance benefits which are funded
through life insurance policies purchased and owned by the
Company. The expense related to these benefits totaled $101 in
2004. The accrual is included in accrued interest payable and
other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and totaled
$101 at year-end 2004.
Note 13 ESOP Plan
Until the plan was terminated in 2003, employees participated in
an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The ESOP borrowed from
the Company to purchase 155,111 shares of stock at
$10 per share. The Company made discretionary contributions
to the ESOP, and paid dividends on unallocated shares to the
F-37

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)
ESOP, and the ESOP used funds it received to repay the loan.
When loan payments were made, ESOP shares were allocated to
participants based on relative compensation and expense was
recorded. Dividends on allocated shares increased participant
accounts.
The ESOP received $738 from a return of capital distribution
paid by the Company in 2000 and purchased an additional
83,353 shares with the proceeds.
At the time of termination, there were 122,882 unearned ESOP
shares of which 81,000 shares were sold and the proceeds
were used to repay the outstanding balance of the loan incurred
to fund the ESOP plan at inception. The remaining
41,882 shares were allocated to participants on a fully
vested basis. The cost associated with terminating the ESOP
totaled $638 and is included in salaries and employee benefits
expense in the 2003 Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Contributions to the ESOP during 2003 and 2002 were $0 and $159.
Expense for 2003 and 2002 was $638 and $222.

Federal income tax laws provided additional bad debt deductions
through 1987, totaling $2,250. Accounting standards do not
require a deferred tax liability to be recorded on this amount,
which otherwise would total $765 at year-end 2004. If the Bank
were liquidated or otherwise ceases to be a bank or if tax laws
were to change, this amount would be expensed.
No valuation allowance has been recorded against the deferred
tax asset for net operating losses because the benefit is more
likely than not to be realized. Net operating losses totaling
$2,839 and $2,485 expire in 2023 and 2024, respectively.
Note 15 Related Party Transactions
There were no loans to principal officers, directors, and their
affiliates in 2004 or 2003. Deposits from principal officers,
directors, and their affiliates at year-end 2004 and 2003 were
$1,282 and $384.
Note 16 Stock Options
Options to buy stock are granted to directors, officers and
employees under the 1999 Stock Based Incentive Plan and 2003
Equity Compensation Plan, which provide for issue of up to
393,887 options. Exercise price is the market price at date of
grant, so there is no compensation expense recognized in the
income statement. The maximum option term is ten years, and
options vest over three to five years.

Note 17 Capital Requirements and
Restrictions on Retained Earnings
The Bank is 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.
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 2004 and 2003, 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 institutions category.

The Qualified Thrift Lender test requires at least 65% of assets
be maintained in housing-related finance and other specified
areas. If this test is not met, limits are placed on growth,
branching, new investments, FHLB advances and dividends, or the
Bank must convert to a commercial bank charter. Management
believes that this test is met.
The Bank converted from a mutual to a stock institution, and a
liquidation account was established at $14,300,
which was net worth reported in the conversion prospectus.
Eligible depositors who have maintained their accounts, less
annual reductions to the extent they have reduced their
deposits, would receive a distribution from this account if the
Bank liquidated. Dividends may not reduce shareholders
equity below the required liquidation account balance.
Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) regulations limit capital
distributions by savings associations. Generally, capital
distributions are limited to undistributed net income for the
current and prior two years. At year-end 2004, no amount is
available to pay dividends to the Company without prior approval
from the OTS. The Companys ability to pay dividends is
dependent on the Bank, which is restricted by regulations. These
regulations may limit the Companys ability to pay
dividends at historical levels.
Note 18 Loan Commitments and Other Related
Activities
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 methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are
described as follows.
Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash
equivalents, short-term borrowings, Federal Home Loan Bank
stock, loan sales proceeds receivable, accrued interest
receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and
variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and
fully. Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer
quotes, and if no such information is available, on the rate and
term of the security and information about the issuer. For fixed
rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits
with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is
based on discounted cash flows using current market rates
applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair values for
impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis
or underlying collateral values. Fair value of loans held for
sale is based on market quotes. Fair value of debt is based on
current rates for similar financing. The fair value of

The following potential average common shares were anti-dilutive
and not considered in computing diluted earnings (loss) per
share because the Company had a loss from continuing operations,
the exercise price of the options was greater than the average
stock price for the periods or the fair value of the stock based
incentive plan shares at the date of grant was greater than the
average stock price for the periods.

In 2003, the Company had included stock options and stock based
incentive plan shares that increased the number of outstanding
shares in computing diluted loss per share. However, because the
Company had a loss from continuing operations, these potential
common shares were anti-dilutive and should not have been
considered for the computation. As a result, the Company revised
2003 diluted loss per share amounts. The impact of this change
was not material to the diluted loss per share amounts disclosed.

(ii) may indemnify any person who is, was or is threatened
to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason
of the fact that such person was a director, officer, employee
or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may
include expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by any such person in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such
person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the corporations best
interests and that no indemnification is permitted without
judicial approval if the officer, director, employee or agent is
adjudged to be liable to the corporation. |
Where an officer, director, employee or agent is successful on
the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to
above, the corporation must indemnify him against expenses
(including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably
incurred in connection therewith.
The determination that indemnity is proper in the circumstances,
because the director or officer has met the applicable standard
of conduct, shall be made in each specific case by a majority of
the directors who are not parties to the action, by a committee
of directors designated by a majority of such non-party
directors, by
II-1
independent legal counsel in a written opinion (if there are no
non-party directors or at the request of a majority of the
non-party directors) or by a majority vote of the outstanding
shares of the common stock.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized by
Section 145 is not exclusive of other such rights under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise, and a corporation is expressly
authorized to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted
against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, arising
out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would
otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.
Section 102(b)(7) of Delaware Law enables a corporation, by
provision in its Certificate of Incorporation, to limit or
eliminate the personal liability of a director to the
corporation and its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty,
except with respect to (i) any breach of the duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) any
act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) certain
transactions under Section 174 of Delaware Law, which
concerns unlawful payments of dividends, stock purchases or
redemptions or (iv) any transaction from which the director
a personal benefit in money, property or services to which the
director is not legally entitled.
Certificate of Incorporation
As permitted by Section 145, Article Tenth of the
registrants Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the
Charter), provides that any director or officer of
the registrant or any person who is or was serving, at the
request of the registrant, as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an
employee benefit plan, shall be indemnified and held harmless by
the registrant to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law,
as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but in the case
of any such amendment only to the extent that such amendment
permits the registrant to provide broader indemnification rights
that Delaware law permitted the registrant to provide prior to
amendment).
Such indemnification extends to any expense, liability or loss
(including attorneys fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise
taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably
incurred or suffered by the indemnified person.
Article Tenth also provides for the advancement of expenses
to be incurred in connection with the defense of any claim;
provided, however, that if Delaware law so requires, an
advancement of expenses in connection with a claim made with
respect to service as a director or officer will be provided
only if the indemnified director or officer undertakes in
writing to repay all amounts advanced if it is ultimately
determined by final judicial decision that he is not entitled to
be indemnified for such expenses.
The right to indemnification under Article Tenth is not
exclusive of any other right the indemnified person may have or
acquire under any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or
otherwise, to the extent permitted by Delaware law.
Finally, Article Tenth provides that the registrant may
grant to any employee or agent to the fullest extent permitted
by Delaware law the rights of indemnification and advancement of
expenses available to directors and officers under
Article Tenth.
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7), Article Eleventh of
the Charter provides that no director of the registrant shall be
personally liable to the registrant or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty except with
respect to (i) any breach of the duty of loyalty to the
registrant or its stockholders, (ii) any act or omission
not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law, (iii) certain transactions under
Section 174 of Delaware law, which concerns unlawful
payments of dividends, stock purchases or redemptions or
(iv) any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit.
II-2
Insurance
The registrant also maintains insurance covering certain
liabilities of the directors and the elected and appointed
officers of the registrant and its subsidiaries, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
See the Exhibit Index at page E-1 of this
Registration Statement.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
the registrant will treat the information omitted from the form
of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in
reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities
Act as part of this registration statement as of the time it was
declared effective.
For determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933
to any purchaser, the registrant will treat each post-effective
amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new
registration statement for the securities offered in the
registration statement, and the offering of the securities at
that time as the initial bona fide offering of those
securities.
