         Transaction Valuation*                Amount of Filing Fee**
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*    Central Federal Corporation will purchase approximately shares of its
     common stock for $14.50 per share for a total Transaction Valuation of
     $1,295,184. This Transaction Valuation is a reduction from the anticipated
     Transaction Valuation of $1,940,811 when the Schedule 13E-3 was filed on
     November 24, 2004. These are shares comprised of fractional interests
     resulting from a one-for-325 reverse stock split of the Company's common
     stock. The price to be paid per share is the fair market value determined
     by an appraisal; such price exceeds the highest closing price on any day
     during the thirty-day (30-day) period prior to November 18, 2004, the date
     of the appraisal.

**   Pursuant to Rule 0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Amount of
     Filing Fee has been calculated by multiplying $1,940,811, the Transaction
     Valuation at the time of filing on November 24, 2004, by 0.00012670

[X]  Check the box if any part of the fee is offset as provided by Exchange Act
     Rule 0-11(a)(2) and identify the filing with which the offsetting fee was
     previously paid. Identify the previous filing by registration statement
     number, or the Form and Schedule and the date of its filing.

                                  INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No. 2 to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the
"Statement") is submitted by Central Federal Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"). This Statement relates to a proposed amendment to the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") to effect a
one-for-325 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock and a
proportionate, corresponding reduction in the authorized shares of its capital
stock (the "Charter Amendment").

On October 22, 2004, the Company's Board of Directors unanimously approved the
Charter Amendment and called for consideration of the Charter Amendment at a
special meeting of stockholders (the "Special Meeting").

On November 18, 2004, the Board determined the fair market price for the
redemption of fractional shares to be $14.50 per pre-split share, based upon an
appraisal received from Donnelly, Penman & Partners, an independent valuation
firm, in which the fair market value was determined to be $14.04 per share as of
November 15, 2004. The Board added a premium of $0.46 per share to the fair
market value to arrive at a redemption price of $14.50 per pre-split share for
any fractional share resulting from the split.

If approved by the stockholders, the Charter Amendment will be filed with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware at the earliest practicable date
after the Special Meeting of Stockholders. The Charter Amendment will be
effective on or about March 31, 2005.

This Statement is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Section
13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
The Company's preliminary proxy statement for the Special Meeting (the "Proxy
Statement") was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") on November 24, 2004, and Amendment No. 1 thereto was filed
immediately prior to the filing of this Statement on January 12, 2005.

                  OPINION LETTER OF DONNELLY PENMAN & PARTNERS

November 22, 2004


Board of Directors
Central Federal Corporation
2923 Smith Road
Fairlawn, Ohio 44333

Members of the Board of Directors:

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of
view, of the cash consideration of $14.50 per share ("Consideration") to be
received by the certain common shareholders of Central Federal Corporation
("Central Federal" or the "Company") holding fewer than 325 shares immediately
prior to the Effective Time as defined in the Proxy Statement relating to the
Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (the "Amendment") who will receive
cash consideration of $14.50 per fractional share created after the Effective
Time of the Amendment. Shareholders who hold fewer than 325 shares immediately
prior to the Effective Time will, as a result of the Amendment, no longer be
shareholders of the Company and shall cease to have any rights as shareholders
and their sole right shall be the right to receive the Consideration as
aforesaid, without interest thereon, upon surrender to the Company of their
certificates which theretofore represented shares of Central Federal Common
Stock.

Donnelly Penman & Partners ("Donnelly Penman") is an investment-banking firm of
recognized standing. As part of our investment banking services, we are
continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in
connection with mergers and acquisitions, private placements and valuations for
stock plans, corporate and other purposes. We are acting as financial advisor to
the Company in connection with the Amendment and will receive a fee from the
Company for our services pursuant to the terms of our engagement letter with the
Company, dated as of October 28, 2004 (the "Engagement Letter").

In arriving at our Opinion, we have:

I.     Reviewed the Annual Reports of the Company for the years ended December
       31, 2002 through 2003 as well as interim financials through October 31,
       2004;

II.    Reviewed the November 18, 2004 Board of Directors Report;

III.   Reviewed the Company's budget for the year ended December 31, 2004;

IV.    Compared certain financial characteristics of the Company to certain
       publicly held companies we deemed relevant;

V.     Reviewed current banking industry conditions and trends concerning the
       valuation of recent mergers and acquisitions;

VI.    Conducted discussions with the senior management of the Company
       concerning the business and future prospects of the Company;

VII.   Prepared a discounted dividend analysis of the Company based on
       projections derived from discussions with and deemed reasonable by
       management of the Company; and

VIII.  Reviewed such other data, including financial and industry data,
       performed such other analyses and taken into account such other matters
       as we deemed necessary or appropriate.

<PAGE>

In conducting our review and arriving at our opinion, as contemplated under the
terms of our engagement by the Company, we, with the consent of the Company,
relied, without independent investigation, upon the accuracy and completeness of
all financial and other information provided to us by the Company. Donnelly
Penman has further relied upon the assurance of management of the Company that
they are unaware of any facts that would make the information provided by or
available to the Company incomplete or misleading in any respect. With respect
to the financial forecast information discussed with us by the Company, we have
assumed that they have been reasonably prepared in good faith and reflect the
best currently available estimates and judgments of the senior management of the
Company as to the expected future financial performance of the Company. The
Company's management team has undertaken and agreed to advise us promptly if any
information previously provided has become inaccurate or is required to be
updated during the period of our review.

No limitations were imposed by the Company on Donnelly Penman on the scope of
Donnelly Penman's investigation or the procedures to be followed by Donnelly
Penman in rendering this opinion. On November 18, 2004, the Board of Directors
was provided with Donnelly Penman's valuation of the fully marketable,
undiscounted value of a share of Central Federal common stock as of November 15,
2004. Although Donnelly Penman believes the value presented to the board is a
reasonable valuation, the actual share valuation for purposes of this Amendment
is at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. In addition, Donnelly
Penman was not requested to and did not make any recommendation to the Company's
Board of Directors as to the form of the consideration to be paid to the
Company's shareholders. Donnelly Penman was not requested to opine as to, and
this opinion does not address, The Company's underlying business decision to
proceed with or effect the Amendment or the relative merits of the Amendment
compared to any alternative transaction that might be available to the Company.

Donnelly Penman did not make or obtain any independent evaluation, valuation or
appraisal of the assets or liabilities of the Company, nor were we furnished
with such materials. Donnelly Penman has not reviewed any individual credit
files of the Company and has assumed, without independent verification that the
aggregate allowances for credit losses for the Company are adequate and
appropriate to cover such losses. Our opinion is necessarily based upon economic
and market conditions and other circumstances as they exist and have been
evaluated by us on the date of our opinion. We do not have any obligation to
update our opinion beyond the November 15, 2004 valuation, unless requested by
the Company in writing to do so, and we expressly disclaim any responsibility to
do so in the absence of any such request. Our services to the Company in
connection with the Amendment have been comprised solely of financial advisory
services, as described in the Engagement Letter.

In our analyses, we have made numerous assumptions with respect to industry
performance, business and economic conditions, and other matters, many of which
are beyond the control of the Company. These assumptions include:

- -    general economic conditions are not expected to improve or deteriorate
     significantly from their current state;

- -    no significant industry regulations or events are expected to occur that
     would impair the Company's ability to earn income at the projected levels;
     and

- -    industry trading and transaction multiples are not projected to change
     significantly from the current values.

Any estimates contained in our analyses are not necessarily indicative of future
results or value, which may be significantly more or less favorable than such
estimates. Estimates of values of companies do not purport to be appraisals or
to necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or their securities
actually may be sold. No company or merger utilized in our analyses was
identical to the Company. Accordingly, such analyses are not based solely on
arithmetic calculations; rather, they involve complex considerations and
judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of
the relevant companies, the timing of the relevant mergers and prospective buyer
interests, as well as other factors that could affect the public trading markets
of

<PAGE>
companies to which the Company is being compared. The analyses performed by
Donnelly Penman were assigned a weighting based on Donnelly Penman's opinion of
their relative comparability and significance with regard to the specific
characteristics of the Company. The complete valuation provided to the Company
on November 18, 2004, including a comprehensive explanation of methodologies
utilized has been delivered to the Board of Directors of the Company. Additional
copies are available to members of the Board of Directors of the Company and the
Company's management upon request. A summary of this valuation is also presented
in the Proxy Statement under the heading of Opinion of Financial Advisor.

Our opinion is furnished to the Board of Directors of the Company in connection
with its consideration of the proposed Amendment and does not constitute a
recommendation to or any advice to the Board of Directors of the Company or to
any shareholder to take any other action in connection with the Amendment.
Furthermore, this letter should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty
on the part of Donnelly Penman to any such party. We hereby consent to the
reference to our opinion in the proxy statement relating to the shares of common
stock of the Company to be repurchased as a result of the Amendment and to the
inclusion of the foregoing opinion in the materials relating to the Amendment.
In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category
of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of
1933 or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, including the various assumptions and
limitations set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of November 18, 2004,
the Consideration of $14.50 per share, is fair, from a financial point of view,
to the common shareholders of the Company.

Very truly yours,

John C. Donnelly
Managing Director
Donnelly Penman & Partners

Board of Directors
Central Federal Corporation

Fairlawn, Ohio 44333

Dear Board of Directors:                                 PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL
                                                         ----------------------


Central Federal Corporation ("Central Federal" or the "Company") has engaged
Donnelly Penman & Partners ("DP&P") to render its opinion (the "Opinion") with
respect to the fair market per share value of the Company's common stock as of
November 15, 2004 in the event of a recapitalization through a reverse stock
split or "squeeze out" merger transaction.

DP&P is a regional investment banking firm of recognized standing. As part of
our investment banking services, we are regularly engaged in the valuation of
corporate entities on a stand-alone basis or in connection with capital raising
and merger and acquisition transactions. No limitations were imposed by the
Company upon DP&P with respect to the investigations made or procedures followed
by DP&P in rendering its Opinion.

In arriving at our Opinion, we have:

I.   Reviewed the Annual Reports of the Company for the years ended December 31,
     2002 through 2003 as well as interim financials through October 31, 2004;

II.  Reviewed the November 18, 2004 Board of Directors Report;

III. Reviewed the Company's budget for the year ended December 31, 2004;

IV.  Compared certain financial characteristics of the Company to certain
     publicly held companies we deemed relevant;

V.   Reviewed current banking industry conditions and trends concerning the
     valuation of recent mergers and acquisitions;

VI.  Conducted discussions with the senior management of the Company concerning
     the business and future prospects of the Company;

VI.  Prepared a discounted dividend analysis of the Company based on projections
     derived from discussions with and deemed reasonable by management of the
     Company; and

<PAGE>
VII. Reviewed such other data, including financial and industry data, performed
     such other analyses and taken into account such other matters as we deemed
     necessary or appropriate.

In connection with rendering its Opinion to Central Federal, DP&P performed a
variety of financial analyses, which are summarized below. DP&P believes that
its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its
analyses and the factors considered by it, without consideration of all factors
and analyses, could create a misleading view of the analyses and the processes
underlying DP&P's Opinion. DP&P arrived at its Opinion based on the results of
all the analyses it undertook, assessed as a whole, and it did not draw
conclusions from or with regard to any one method of analysis. The preparation
of a valuation is a complex process involving subjective judgments, and is not
necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description.

DP&P did not make or obtain any independent evaluation, valuation or appraisal
of the assets or liabilities of Central Federal, nor were we furnished with such
materials. DP&P has not reviewed any individual credit files of the Company and
has assumed, without independent verification, that the reported allowances for
credit losses are adequate to cover such losses.

With respect to the comparable company analysis and comparable merger
transaction analysis summarized below, no public company utilized as a
comparison is identical to Central Federal, and such analyses necessarily
involves complex considerations and judgments concerning the differences in
financial and operating characteristics of the financial institutions and other
factors that could affect the acquisition or public trading values of the
financial institutions concerned. The forecasted financial information furnished
by the Company's management contained in or underlying DP&P's analyses are not
necessarily indicative of future results or values, which may be significantly
more or less favorable than such forecasts and estimates. The forecasts and
estimates were based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently
uncertain (including the future performance of the recently acquired Reserve
Mortgage Services); including without limitation factors related to general
economic and competitive conditions. In that regard, DP&P assumed, with the
Company's consent, that the financial forecasts had been reasonably prepared by
management on a basis reflecting the best currently available judgments of
management, and that such forecasts will be realized in the amounts and at the
times contemplated thereby.

Estimates of values of financial institutions or assets do not purport to be
appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which financial institutions or
their securities actually may be sold. Accordingly, actual results could vary
significantly from those assumed in the financial forecasts and related
analyses. The analyses performed by DP&P were assigned a weighting based on
DP&P's opinion of their relative comparability and significance with regard to
the specific characteristics of Central Federal.

COMPANY BACKGROUND
- ------------------

Central Federal Corporation (the "Company"), formerly known as Grand Central
Financial Corp., was organized as a Delaware corporation in September 1998 as
the holding company for Central Federal Bank (the "Bank"), formerly known as
Central Federal Savings and Loan Association of Wellsville, in connection with
the Bank's conversion from a mutual to stock form of organization. As a savings
and loan holding company, the Company is subject to regulation by the Office of
Thrift Supervision (the "OTS"). Central Federal Capital Trust I (the "Trust"),
was formed by the Company in 2003 as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to
raise additional funding for the Company. Currently, the Company does not
transact any material business other than through the Bank and Trust. Under new
accounting guidance, 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. At December 31, 2003, the Company had total assets of $107.0
million and stockholders' equity of $19.9 million.

The Bank is a community-oriented savings institution which was originally
organized in 1892. The Bank's 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 from borrowings, primarily in
conventional mortgage loans secured by single-family residences. The Bank also
invests in consumer loans, primarily indirect automobile loans and loans
originated directly or on the Bank's behalf by automobile dealers at the time of
sale. To a lesser extent, the Bank invests in home equity, multi-family,
construction and land loans. In 2003, the Bank began making more commercial
loans than it had in the past as management positioned the Bank for expansion
into business financial services. The Bank also invests in securities, primarily
those guaranteed or insured by government agencies, and other investment- grade
securities. The Bank's revenues are derived principally from the generation of
interest and fees on loans originated and, to a lesser extent, interest and
dividends on securities.

On October 22, 2004, the registrant completed its acquisition of RJO Financial
Services, Inc., d/b/a Reserve Mortgage Services, (Reserve), an Akron, Ohio based
company licensed as a mortgage banker in Ohio, Florida and Georgia, founded by
Richard J. O'Donnell. The acquisition was effected by the Company's purchase of
all the shares of the outstanding common stock of RJO Financial Services, Inc.
(the "RJO Shares"). The consideration paid by the Company for the RJO Shares was
127,077 shares of the Company's common stock and $340,000 in cash.

Central Federal is traded through the OTC Bulletin Board Exchange under the
symbol GCFC. Its shares are traded on a limited basis through regional and
national brokers and market makers. As of October 4, 2004, there were 603
recorded holders of the Company's common stock. The most recent trade of the
stock was 11,634 shares at $11.11 on November 17, 2004.

The Bank conducts its business through four banking offices located in Summit,
Columbiana, Jefferson and Franklin Counties, Ohio. According to the United
States Census Bureau, the median

<PAGE>
2004 household income in, Summit, Columbiana, Jefferson and Franklin Counties is
$42,734, $34,226, $30,853 and $42,734 respectively.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
- -----------------

Commercial, retail and mortgage banking are highly competitive businesses in
which the Company receives competition from both bank and non-bank institutions.
As a result of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act
of 1994 and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, the number and types of
depository institution competitors have substantially increased.

Central Federal faces increased competition from finance companies, credit
unions and bank and non-bank mortgage lenders. These companies may offer higher
lending limits and other non-traditional services that Central Federal does not
currently offer. Some of the Company's competitors also can leverage greater
resources in order to gain a larger business presence within Central Federal's
target service areas.

While being relatively small can be a disadvantage, there are certain potential
benefits as well. Community banks that make customer service a priority may be
able to gain an advantage with customers in their local market that feel
neglected by the larger banks. Because the larger banks often seek large
homogenous markets and products, niche opportunities are created for smaller
institutions that seek to fill the needs of the underserved. Also, the relative
difference in size can often correspond to a more agile management team that can
respond more quickly to the ever changing competitive environment.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
- -----------------

Reports from the Federal Reserve Districts, as outlined in the July 28, 2004
Federal Reserve "Beige Book,"(1) indicate that economic growth continued to
expand, although some Districts reported that the rate of growth moderated.

Consumer lending activity rose moderately with reports that mortgage
originations are strong. Five districts reported increases in their banks'
residential real estate lending: Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Chicago, and
St. Louis. Several of these districts indicated that although overall
residential real estate lending had risen, the volume of refinancings recently
fell further. Both the New York and San Francisco Districts saw borrowing by
homebuyers decline, but San Francisco noted that the levels of residential real
estate lending in its district remained high.

Borrowing by commercial clients rose moderately as reported by most districts,
with the New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, St. Louis, Kansas
City, Dallas, and San Francisco Districts reporting rising commercial borrowing
in recent weeks. New York, Philadelphia, and Atlanta, however, noted that the
increases in their districts were modest. In the Chicago District, commercial
borrowing was characterized as flat.

Most Districts reported little change in loan delinquencies. The Cleveland
District noted that delinquency rates remained largely unchanged in recent
weeks, and applicant credit quality

District, July 28, 2004.


<PAGE>
was characterized as stable or slightly improving. Likewise, the New York
District reported lower delinquency rates across all loan categories. In the
Chicago District, lenders note that household credit quality continues to
improve and there were no changes in loan standards and terms. Moderate
increases in credit card lending were reported in the Philadelphia District,
while the San Francisco District reports good credit quality on existing loans.

The Livingston Study(2), based on survey responses of 26 participants from
banking, industry, academia and trade associations, forecasts economic growth
and falling unemployment through mid-2005 in its June 2004 report. The results
of this most recent release project real Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") will
rise at an annual rate of 4.5 percent in the first half of 2004, 4.1 percent in
the second half of 2004, and continue at an annual rate of 3.8 percent in the
first half of 2005. The unemployment rate is expected to fall from 5.6 percent
in June 2004 to 5.4 percent in December 2004 and then continue to decline, to
5.2 percent, by the middle of 2005. Interest rates on the three-month Treasuries
are expected to rise from 1.3 percent in June 2004 to 1.8 percent at year-end
2004, then rise throughout 2005, ending the year at 3.4 percent. Long-term
interest rates are also expected to rise over the next two years with a
projection to climb from 4.8 percent in June 2004 to 5.1 percent by year-end. It
is expected to increase further in 2005, finishing the year at 5.6 percent. The
participants' views of long-term inflation and output growth have been fairly
steady over the last year. The panelists think that real GDP will grow 3.5
percent annually over the next 10 years, the same as in the previous survey.
Inflation will average 2.5 percent over the next 10 years, unchanged from the
last five surveys dating back to December 2001. For 2004, after-tax corporate
profits are expected to rise 15.5 percent, an increase from the December
survey's prediction of 14.7 percent. On the other hand, forecasters see
corporate profits rising 13.4 percent in 2005, a decrease from the 19.4 percent
increase forecast in December. Stock prices (as measured by the S&P 500 index)
are forecast to rise in 2004 and 2005. The projection for the S&P 500 at the end
of 2005 is about 2.8 percent higher than the previous prediction.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY
- ---------------------

The following is a brief summary of the analyses performed by DP&P in connection
with its Opinion:

(a) Discounted Dividend Analysis. DP&P prepared a discounted dividend stream
analysis of Central Federal, which estimated the future after tax income that
the Company might produce over a period from November 15, 2004 through December
31, 2008. These estimates were derived from discussions with and deemed
reasonable by Central Federal's management team. The estimates assumed that
Central Federal's net income would grow from ($1,245,609) in the year ended
December 31, 2004 to $2,331,065 in the year ended December 31, 2008. This growth
in net income is due to the acquisition of Reserve Mortgage Services in October,
2004 and balance sheet growth driven by commercial loan growth (subject to
regulatory limitations of 400% of capital) and the deposits typically associated
with those commercial customers. DP&P further assumed, with management's
guidance, that the Company would make dividend payouts through the projection
period equal to the existing rate of $.36 per share, which is equal to the
existing rate paid by the Company. The resulting dividends were then discounted
to a present value using a discount rate of 10.5%, based on Ibbotson
Associates(3) build up method with an industry discount applicable to commercial
banks. Based on the most recent Ibbotson's data the risk less rate is 4.8%,
market risk premium is 7.0% and industry specific premium was -1.3%, resulting
in a discount rate of 10.5%, which DP&P regards as appropriate given the nature
of the company, industry risk and general economic conditions. DP&P also
estimated the residual value for Central Federal's common stock using an earning
multiple of 19.2 times applied to projected 2008 net income of $2,331,065, which
is an approximation derived from the analysis of price to earnings multiples in
comparable publicly traded companies (see paragraph c - Analysis of Selected
Comparable Companies). The discounted dividend analysis implied a value of
$14.87 per share for Central Federal's common stock on a marketable basis. This
analysis does not purport to be indicative of actual values or actual future
results and does not purport to reflect the prices at which any securities may
trade at the present or at any time in the future. DP&P included this analysis
because it is a widely used valuation methodology, but noted that the results of
such methodology are highly dependent upon the numerous assumptions that must be
made, including earnings growth rates, dividend payout rates, terminal values
and discount rates.

(b) Historical Trading Multiples. DP&P analyzed the quoted trades listed on the
OTC Bulletin Board for Central Federal Corporation (GCFC) for varying historical
periods. DP&P used a weighted average of the closing stock price quoted for a
period of 30 and 90 trading days and one calendar year. Only days in which the
security actually traded were counted in the weighted average. For the past 30
trading days, as of November 15, 2004, the historical weighted average price was
$11.65 with a period volume of 100,533. For the past 90 trading days, as of
November 15, the historical weighted average price was $12.14 with a period
volume of 221,623. For the past calendar year, as of November 15, 2004, the
historical weighted average price was $13.42 with a period volume of 532,811. It
should be noted that volume may reflect "double counting" due to both the buy
and sell side of a transaction being counted. In addition, the prices and
volumes displayed are per the trading information provided on the www.nasdaq.com
website and may not reflect all transactions that occurred over the
aforementioned time period.

(c) Analysis of Selected Comparable Companies. DP&P compared selected operating
results of Central Federal to a select group of publicly traded thrifts
headquartered in Michigan, Indiana,

- ----------

(3) Ibbotson Associates, "Stocks, Bonds, Bills, and Inflation," Valuation
Edition 2003 Yearbook




<PAGE>
Kentucky and Ohio. The comparable set had total assets of between $150 and $250
million. Some companies meeting these criteria may have been eliminated based on
lack of data as generated by SNL Financial - the source for the comparable
transactions data. The selected group had approximately the following median
values: $160.4 million in total assets, $17.4 million in total equity, a Tier
One risk-based capital ratio of 6.4%, last twelve months return on average
assets of .71%, last twelve months return on average equity of 6.34% and a last
twelve months efficiency ratio of 65.4%. This analysis provided valuation
benchmarks including the median price multiples of 1.237 times book value, 1.241
times tangible book value and 19.2 times last twelve months earnings per share.
Applying the median price to book value multiple to Central Federal's book value
per share of $8.92 as of September 30, 2004 resulted in an implied per share
value of $11.03 on a marketable basis. Using the same methodology, the implied
value provided by application of the relevant multiple to Central Federal's
September 30, 2004 tangible book value of $8.92 was found to be $11.07. The
implied value based on last twelve months earnings per share was not applicable
because Central Federal's last twelve months earnings per share were negative.

No bank or thrift used in the above analyses as a comparison is identical to
Central Federal. Accordingly, an analysis of the results of the foregoing
necessarily involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences
in financial and operating characteristics of the companies and other factors
that could affect the public trading values of the Company and the banks to
which it is being compared.

(d) Analysis of Comparable Acquisition Transactions. DP&P analyzed bank and
thrift acquisition transactions announced and/or completed since January 1,
2002. Each selling bank or thrift had total assets between $100 and $500 million
and was headquartered in Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky or Ohio. This analysis
provided an approximate median multiple of 2.09 times price to book value, 2.111
times price to tangible book value, 24.8 times last twelve months earnings per
share and a premium to core deposit metric of 17.3%. Applying the median
multiple for price to book value of 2.09 times to Central Federal's September
30, 2004 book value per share of $8.92 results in an implied value per share of
$18.64 on a control, marketable basis. Using the same methodology, the value
implied by applying the relevant multiple to Central Federal's tangible book
value per share at September 30, 2004 of $8.92 was found to be $18.83 per share.
Applying the median premium to core deposits of 17.3% to Central Federal's $79.6
million in core deposits as of September 30, 2004 resulted in a calculated value
of $13.8 million. When added to Central Federal's book value of $18.4 million as
of September 30, 2004 and divided by the 2,062,138 shares outstanding at the
same date, the result is an implied value per share of $15.60. Core deposits are
defined as all deposits less CDs over $100,000 and brokered or network deposits.

DP&P notes that no selling bank or thrift reviewed was identical to the Company
and that, accordingly, any analysis of comparable transactions necessarily
involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in
financial and operating characteristics of the parties to the transactions being
compared.

(e) Net Book Value. The net book value or net equity method implies that a
company is worth its accumulated retained earnings, or deficit, plus its
original capitalization. Net book value is primarily an amount arrived at over a
company's existence which reflects accounting history expressed in unadjusted
dollars and not the company's potential.

In most going concerns with a viable future it can be demonstrated that these
companies would change hands for more than net book value. Book value is only of
importance to the extent it provides an adequate base for the continuance of
operations. In most instances where a company earns a

<PAGE>
significant return on its assets (both tangible and intangible); the net book
value approach is not representative of the company's intrinsic business value.
We have reviewed the book value of the Company's assets in limited detail and
have found net book value to be $18.4 million or $8.92 per share as of September
30, 2004.

CONCLUSION
- ----------

Our Opinion is directed to the Board of Directors of the Company and does not
constitute a recommendation to the Board of Directors of the Company or the
Company's existing holders of Common Stock. This Opinion has been prepared for
the confidential use of the Board of Directors and senior management of the
Company and may not be reproduced, summarized, described or referred to or given
to any other person without DP&P's prior written consent. Our Opinion is limited
solely to the value of the Company's common stock as of November 15, 2004 given
the relevant market and company specific information available at the present
time.

DP&P will typically utilize either a marketability or minority discount, or
combination thereof, to value a minority share of a relatively illiquid company
on a comparable basis. No such discounts have been applied to Central Federal's
common stock in this valuation. If such a discount were applied, it would result
in valuation that would be significantly lower than the value assigned on the
following page.

On the basis of, and subject to, the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, as
of November 15, 2004, the fair market value of the Company's common stock is
$14.04 per share.

Sincerely,




DONNELLY PENMAN & PARTNERS
