                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     ---------------------

     The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B.
Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

     In the opinion of management, the Consolidated Financial Statements contain
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial condition of Classic Bancshares, Inc. as of
December 31, 2003, and the results of operations for all interim periods
presented. Operating results for the nine months ended December 31, 2003 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2004.

     Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in
annual financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the
annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2003.

     STOCK OPTION PLANS
     ------------------

     Employee compensation expense under stock option plans 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.

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
     ---------------------------

     The financial statements include the accounts of Classic Bancshares, Inc.
(the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Classic Bank. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

     DIVIDEND
     --------

     The Company declared a 10% dividend on October 20, 2003, payable on
November 17, 2003. The payment of this dividend is in addition to the regular
quarterly cash dividend. Per share amounts have been restated for the impact of
this stock dividend.

(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Earnings per share are presented pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No.
128, "Earnings Per Share." Basic earnings per share are calculated based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective
periods.

     Diluted earnings per share are computed taking into consideration common
shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares to be issued under the
Company's stock option plans and recognition and retention plan.

(3) IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     On April 1, 2003, the Company adopted Interpretation 45, Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees. On July 1, 2003, the
Company adopted Statement 149, amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, and Statement 150, Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equities. On
October 1, 2003, the Company adopted Interpretation 46, Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities. Adoption of the new standards did not materially
affect the Company's operating results or financial condition.

(4) ACQUISITION OF FIRST FEDERAL FINANCIAL BANCORP

     On June 20, 2003, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding
common stock of First Federal Financial Bancorp, Inc., headquartered in Ironton,
Ohio, the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank of Ironton, which
operated three offices in southeastern Ohio. In the transaction, First Federal
Savings Bank of Ironton was merged with and into Classic Bank with Classic Bank
as the surviving institution. All locations of First Federal will be operated as
branch offices of Classic Bank. Shareholders of First Federal were able to elect
to receive either shares of Classic common stock, $24.00 in cash or a
combination of stock and cash subject to the requirement that 50% of First
Federal shares were exchanged for cash and 50% were exchanged for Classic common
stock. The results of First Federal's operations have been included in the
consolidated financial statements since June 20, 2003. Presented below are the
net assets acquired from First Federal. Management believes that the assets and
liabilities acquired are similar to those of the Company.

     First Federal is located in the market area of the Company and thus, the
acquisition enabled the Bank to gain market share and affords the Company the
opportunity to reduce costs through economies of scale.

                                       11


     The aggregate purchase price was $11.4 million, including $5.6 million of
cash and common stock valued at $5.8 million and resulted in goodwill and other
intangibles of $3.6 million. The value of the 228,665 common shares issued was
determined based upon the closing market price of Classic's common shares on
December 30, 2002, the date the terms of the acquisition were agreed to and
announced. Under the terms of the agreement, the number of shares of the
Company's common stock for which each First Federal shares was exchanged was
..9797.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION
-------------------

     The Company's total assets increased $91.6 million from $249.9 million at
March 31, 2003 to $341.5 million at December 31, 2003. The increase was due
primarily to an increase in loans of $67.9 million, an increase in securities of
$16.3 million, an increase in goodwill and other intangibles of $3.3 million, an
increase in premises and equipment of approximately $1.6 million, an increase in
other assets of approximately $1.6 million and an increase in FHLB stock of
approximately $900,000.

     Net loans receivable increased $67.9 million from $187.2 million at March
31, 2003 to $255.1 million at December 31, 2003. The increase was due primarily
to net loans acquired from First Federal of approximately $49.5 million and a
premium of approximately $700,000 recorded on the acquired loans based on the
market valuation of the loans. The remainder of the increase of $17.7 million
was due to internal loan growth primarily in the consumer and commercial
portfolios.

     Securities increased approximately $16.3 million from $37.8 million at
March 31, 2003 to $54.1 million at December 31, 2003 primarily due to the
acquisition of $9.5 million of securities in connection with the acquisition of
First Federal, purchases of $11.7 million and an increase in the market value of
the available for sale securities of approximately $300,000 offset by
maturities, calls and principal repayments of $5.2 million

     Deposits increased $66.2 million from $190.2 million at March 31, 2003 to
$256.4 million at December 31, 2003. The increase was due primarily to the
acquisition of First Federal. Deposits acquired from First Federal totaling
$56.7 million. The remainder of the increase of $9.5 million was a result of
internal deposit growth. The increase in deposits was used to fund loan growth.

     Total stockholders' equity was $33.9 million at December 31, 2003 compared
to $25.4 million at March 31, 2003. The increase was due primarily to the
issuance of additional shares of the Company's stock in connection with the
acquisition of First Federal. The increase was also due to net income recorded
for the period and an increase in the market value of available for sale
securities offset by cash dividends paid.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002
---------------------------------------

     GENERAL. The Company's results of operations depend primarily upon the
level of net interest income, which is the difference between the interest
income earned on its interest-earning assets such as loans and investments, and
the costs of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and
borrowings. Results of operations are also dependent upon the level of the
Company's non-interest income, including fee income and service charges, and
affected by the level of its non-interest expenses, including its general and
administrative expenses. Net interest income depends upon the volume of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates
earned or paid on them, respectively.

     The Company reported net income of $1.0 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2003 compared to net income of $788,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 2002. The increase in net income of $215,000 between the two
periods was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income of
$836,000, an increase in non-interest income of $35,000 and a decrease in
provision for loss on loans of $30,000 partially offset by an increase in
non-interest expense of $581,000 and an increase in income taxes of $105,000.

     The Company reported net income of $2.7 million for the nine months ended
December 31, 2003 compared to net income of $2.2 million for the nine months
ended December 31, 2002. The increase in net income of $481,000 between the two
periods was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income of $1.7
million and an increase in non-interest income of $356,000 and a decrease in
provision for loss on loans of $148,000 offset by an increase in non-interest
expense of $1.5 million and an increase in income taxes of $237,000.

     INTEREST INCOME. Total interest income increased $979,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 2003 and increased $2.0 million for the nine months
ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the three and nine months ended December
31, 2002. The increase in interest income for the three and six-month period was
due to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $94.8
million for the three months ended December 31, 2003 and an increase of $70.1
for the nine-month period offset by a decrease in the yield earned on
interest-earning assets. The increase in the average balance of interest-earning
assets was due primarily to an increase in the average balance of loans and
securities primarily as a result of the

                                       14


acquisition of First Federal. The average tax equivalent yield on
interest-earning assets was 6.0% and 6.2% for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 2003 compared to 6.9% and 7.0% for the same periods in 2002. The
decrease in the yield was due to a decrease in market interest rates between the
two periods.

     INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $143,000 and $262,000 for the
three and nine months ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the same periods in
2002. Interest expense increased for the periods primarily due to an increase in
the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities offset by a decrease in the
average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities increased $85.5 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2003 and $64.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2003
compared to the same periods in 2002. The increase in these balances is
primarily the result of an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing
deposits and FHLB borrowings due primarily to the acquisition of First Federal.
The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 2.0% and 2.2% for the
three and nine months ended December 31, 2003 compared to 2.6% and 2.7% for the
three and nine months ended December 31, 2002 due to a general decline in
interest rates.

     The resulting interest rate spread was 4.0% for the three and nine months
ended December 31, 2003 compared to 4.3% for the same periods in 2002. The
resulting net interest margin was 4.2% and 4.3% for the three and nine months
ended compared to 4.6% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2002.
The Company's interest rate spread and net interest margin has declined
primarily due to the incorporation of First's Federal balance sheet. Over time,
management intends to change the composition of the former First Federal balance
sheet to a mix more similar to that of the Company's other interest-bearing
assets and liabilities.

     PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The Company's provision for loan losses totaled
$66,000 and $158,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2003
compared to $96,000 and $306,000 for the three and nine months ended December
31, 2002. The provision for the three and nine-month period decreased based on
management's assessment of improving trends within the Company's loan portfolio
notwithstanding the acquired non-performing loans which were provided for prior
to the acquisition of First Federal. The provision recorded for the three and
nine-month period was based on management's evaluation of the Company's current
portfolio including factors such as the quality of the portfolio, the increase
in loans that are not secured by 1-4 family real estate, the level of
non-performing loans, charge-off history, the economy in the Company's market
area and overall growth in the loan portfolio. Management continually monitors
the Company's allowance for loan losses and makes adjustments as economic
conditions, portfolio quality and portfolio diversity dictates. Although the
Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level which the Board
considers to be adequate to provide for probable losses on existing loans, there
can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that
additional provisions for loan losses will not be required for future periods.

     NON-INTEREST INCOME. Non-interest income increased approximately $35,000
and $356,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2003 compared to
the same periods in 2002. The increase for the three and nine-month periods is
primarily the result of an increase in service charges and other fees on
deposits of $35,000 for the three-month period and an increase of $241,000 for
the nine-month period. The remainder of the increase was due to an increase in
other income for the three-month period of $6,000 and an increase of $124,000
for the nine-month period. These increases were offset by a decrease in the gain
realized on the sale

                                       15


of securities of $6,000 for the three-month period and $9,000 for the nine-month
period. The increase in service charges and other fees on deposits for the
periods is the result of increased deposit accounts. The increase in other
non-interest income is due to an increase in the commissions earned on secondary
market loans, letter of credit fees and commissions on insurance sold with
loans. Although the commissions earned on the origination of secondary market
loans increased for the nine months, these commissions have begun to slow,
therefore decreasing the amount of commissions earned during the quarter and
possibly in future periods. The Company's secondary market activity consists
only of commissions earned from a third party originator and represents a small
portion of the Company's non-interest income.

     NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expenses increased $581,000 and $1.5
million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2003 compared to the
same period in 2002. Non-interest expenses increased for the three-month period
due to an increase in employee compensation and benefits of $291,000, an
increase in occupancy and equipment expense of $64,000, an increase in
advertising expense of $11,000, an increase in communications expense of
$17,000, an increase in deposit and franchise taxes of $8,000, an increase in
professional fees of $41,000, and an increase in other operating expenses of
$155,000 offset by a decrease in stationery and supplies of $6,000.

     Non-interest expenses increased for the nine-month period due to an
increase in employee compensation and benefits of $598,000, an increase in
occupancy and equipment expense of $174,000, an increase in advertising expense
of $92,000, an increase in communications expense of $52,000, an increase in
deposit and franchise taxes of $20,000, an increase in professional fees of
$87,000, an increase in stationery, printing and supplies of $57,000 and an
increase in other operating expenses of $454,000.

     Employee compensation and benefits increased primarily due to an increase
in the number of employees as a result of the First Federal acquisition; an
increase in costs related to incentive-based compensation programs; and an
increase in ESOP expense due to the increase in the average market price of the
Company's stock. Occupancy and equipment expense increased primarily due to an
increase in depreciation expense as a result of increased locations,
improvements to existing facilities, and upgrades in equipment. The increase in
other operating expenses was due partially to increased expenses as a result of
the acquisition of First Federal and the remainder of the increase was due to
increased costs related to technology for various services provided to
customers. The Company recently upgraded its on-line banking product and also
upgraded its operating environment so that customers may obtain real-time
balances at automated teller machines and point of sale terminals.

     INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense increased $105,000 and $237,000 for
the three and nine months ended December 31, 2003 primarily due to an increase
in income before income taxes for the periods.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
---------------------------------------------------

     The allowance for loan losses is calculated based upon management's
evaluation and assessment of pertinent factors underlying the types and
qualities of the Company's loans. The assessment includes internal risk grading
of all commercial credits and based upon this evaluation, a specific allocation
allowance may be assigned to individual loans. Consumer and residential mortgage
loans are not specifically graded unless apparent weakness is determined

                                       16


through payment history at which time a specific allowance allocation may be
made. Additionally, a general reserve is assigned to each lending segment in
recognition of probable incurred losses based upon historical loss and peer loss
information, while taking into consideration current delinquency trends, current
economic trends both local and national, strength of supervision and
administration of the loan portfolio, trends of non-performing assets to the
allowance and concentrations within commercial credits. These factors are
weighed quarterly and adjusted as deemed appropriate by management. The Company
has not materially changed any aspect of its overall approach in the
determination of the allowance for loan losses and there have been no material
changes in assumptions or estimations as compared to prior years that have
impacted the basis of the current year allowance.

     The Company's allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2003 was $2.2
million or .9% of the total loans. The March 31, 2003 allowance for loan loss
was $2.0 million, or 1.0% of total loans. The Company recorded a provision for
loan losses of $158,000 for the nine-month period, had net charge-offs of
$468,000 and $789,000 for the three and nine-month period and acquired an
allowance form First Federal of approximately $885,000. The loans charged off
consisted largely of loans acquired from First Federal, the losses for which had
been reserved prior to the acquisition.

     The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets is an indicator of
exposure to credit risk. Non-performing assets of the Company consist of
non-accruing loans, accruing loans delinquent 90 days or more, and foreclosed
assets, which have been acquired as a result of foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure. For all periods presented the Company had no troubled debt
restructurings. The following table sets forth the amount of non-performing
assets at the periods indicated.

Total Non-Performing Assets as a
  Percentage of Total Assets ........       .9%                    .5%

     Total non-performing assets increased $1.7 million from March 31, 2003 to
December 31, 2003 due primarily to delinquent one to four family loans acquired
in connection with the acquisition of First Federal. Management does not feel
that this is an indication of a trend of increased non-performing assets for the
Company. The problem credits with First Federal's portfolio were identified
through pre-acquisition due diligence and reserved for appropriately. Management
is attempting to resolve these credits at the earliest date.

     OTHER ASSETS OF CONCERN. Other than the non-performing assets set forth in
the table above, as of December 31, 2003, there were no loans with respect to
which known information about the possible credit problems of the borrowers or
the cash flows of the security properties have caused management to have
concerns as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan
repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such items in
the non-performing asset categories.

                                       17


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

     The Company's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels
of these assets are dependent on the Company's operating, financing, and
investing activities. At December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2003, cash and cash
equivalents totaled $7.9 million and $8.1 million, respectively. The Company's
primary sources of funds include principal and interest payments on loans (both
scheduled and prepayments), maturities of and interest payments on investment
securities and principal and interest payments from mortgage-backed securities,
deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati advances and other borrowings.
While scheduled loan and mortgage-backed security repayments and proceeds from
maturing investment securities are relatively predictable, deposit flows and
early repayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic
conditions and competition. Certificates of deposit as of December 31, 2003
maturing within one year totaled $80.4 million. Management believes based on
experience that most of these funds will remain with the Company.

     Liquidity management is both a short- and long-term responsibility of
management. The Company adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon
management's assessment of expected loan demand, projected purchases of
investment and mortgage-backed securities, expected deposit flows, yields
available on other assets, and the liquidity goals of its asset/liability
management program. Excess liquidity is generally invested in interest-bearing
overnight deposits and other short-term liquid asset funds. If funds are
required beyond the funds generated internally, the subsidiary of the Company
has the ability to borrow funds from the FHLB and other third parties. At
December 31, 2003, the Company had $39.1 million in borrowings outstanding with
the FHLB and additional borrowing capacity of $79.1 million. On a limited basis,
the Company at times utilizes repurchase agreements for the generation of
additional funds from our established relationship business customers. At
December 31, 2003, the Company had $9.2 million of repurchase agreements with
existing relationship based business customers.

     At December 31, 2003, the Company had outstanding commitments to fund loans
of $29.1 million. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds
available to meet its current commitments principally through the use of current
liquid assets and through its borrowing capacity with the FHLB.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
---------------------------------------

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


                        ITEM 3 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     The Company has adopted interim disclosure controls and procedures designed
to facilitate the Company's financial reporting. The interim disclosure controls
currently consist of communications among the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief
Financial Officer and each department head to identify any transactions, events,
trends, risks or contingencies which may be material to the Company's
operations. The Company's disclosure controls also contain certain elements of
its internal controls adopted in connection with applicable accounting and
regulatory guidelines. Finally, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer, the Audit Committee and the Company's independent auditors also meet on
a quarterly basis and discuss the Company's material accounting policies. The
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the
effectiveness of these interim disclosure controls as of the end of the period
covered by this report and found them to be adequate.

     The Company maintains internal control over financial reporting. There have
not been any significant changes in such internal control over financial
reporting in the last quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting.
