ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS AND REQUIRED FD DISCLOSURE

On December 31, 2003, the registrant issued a press release announcing that its
subsidiary, Central Federal Bank had elected to prepay fixed rate Federal Home
Loan Bank borrowings totaling $11.2 million. These borrowings had an average
cost of 5.52 percent and an average remaining maturity of 4.5 years. The
repayment will result in a charge of $1.3 million ($838 thousand after tax, or
$.41 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2003) as a result of a
penalty associated with prepaying the loans.
