                NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         HopFed  Bancorp,  Inc. (the  "Company")  was formed at the direction of
         Hopkinsville  Federal  Savings  Bank (the "Bank") to become the holding
         company of the Bank upon the  conversion  of the Bank from a  federally
         chartered  mutual savings bank to a federally  chartered  stock savings
         bank. The conversion was consummated on February 6, 1998. The Company's
         primary assets are the outstanding capital stock of the converted Bank,
         a portion of the net proceeds of the conversion,  and a note receivable
         from the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan, and its sole business
         is that of the converted Bank and the investment of funds held by it.

         The accompanying  unaudited financial  statements have been prepared in
         accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles ("GAAP") for
         interim  financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q
         and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,  they do not include all
         of  the  information  and  footnotes  required  by  GAAP  for  complete
         financial  statements.  In the opinion of management,  all  adjustments
         (consisting  of only  normal  recurring  accruals)  necessary  for fair
         presentation  have been  included.  The results of operations and other
         data for the nine  month  period  ended  September  30,  1998,  are not
         necessarily  indicative  of results that may be expected for the entire
         fiscal year ending December 31, 1998.

         The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  should  be read in
         conjunction  with the Consolidated  Financial  Statements and the Notes
         thereto  included in the  Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
         year ended December 31, 1997. The accounting  policies  followed by the
         Company are set forth in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
         in the Company's December 31, 1997 Consolidated Financial Statements.

2.       EARNINGS AND DIVIDENDS PER SHARE

         The Company has adopted  Statement  of Financial  Accounting  Standards
         ("SFAS")  No. 128,  "Earnings  per Share." This  Statement  established
         standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS"). This
         Statement  simplified the standards for computing EPS previously  found
         in APB Opinion No. 15,  "Earnings per Share," and made them  comparable
         to international EPS standards. It replaced the presentation of primary
         EPS with a presentation of basic EPS and requires dual  presentation of
         basic  and  diluted  EPS  on  the  face  of the  income  statement  and
         disclosure of a reconciliation  of the numerator and denominator of the
         basic EPS  computation to the numerator and  denominator of the diluted
         EPS  computation.  For the three months and nine months ended September
         30, 1998, the Company's weighted average common shares are the same for
         the basic and diluted EPS computations.

3.       REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         The  Company   has  adopted   FASB   Statement   No.  130,   "Reporting
         Comprehensive  Income."  Statement  No. 130 requires  the  reporting of
         comprehensive  income  in  addition  to  net  income  from  operations.
         Comprehensive   income  is  a  more   inclusive   financial   reporting
         methodology that includes  disclosure of certain financial  information
         that  historically  has not been  recognized in the  calculation of net
         income.

         The Company holds securities  classified as  available-for-sale,  which
         have unrealized gains. The before tax and after tax amounts, as well as
         the tax (expense) benefit is summarized below.

4.       PENDING ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         The  FASB  has  issued  SFAS  No.  133,   "Accounting   for  Derivative
         Instruments  and  for  Hedging   Activities."  The  Statement  requires
         derivatives  to be recorded in the balance  sheet as either an asset or
         liability  measured at its fair value. The Statement also requires that
         changes in the  derivatives'  fair values be  recognized  currently  in
         earnings  unless  specific  hedge  accounting  criteria  are met.  This
         Statement is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 1999
         (prospectively)  and is not  expected to have a material  effect on the
         Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997

     Total assets  decreased by $127.4 million,  from $344.0 million at December
31, 1997 to $216.6  million at September 30, 1998.  Federal funds sold decreased
from $151.1  million at December 31,  1997,  to $11.9  million at September  30,
1998,  primarily  due to funds  returned  in  connection  with  the  conversion.
Securities  held to  maturity  declined  $19.7  million  due to  various  issues
maturing.  These funds were reinvested in securities  available for sale,  which
increased $33.8 million.

     The Bank continued to price its deposits less  aggressively in an effort to
reduce its overall cost of funds. At September 30, 1998,  deposits  decreased to
$154.0  million  from $320.6  million at December  31,  1997,  a net decrease of
$166.6  million,  primarily as a result of completion of the conversion  process
and the refunding of excess  subscriptions.  The Bank's average cost of deposits
for the three and nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998 was 4.87% and 4.19%,
respectively, compared to 4.79% for the year ended December 31, 1997. Management
continually  evaluates  the  investment  alternatives  available  to the  Bank's
customers  and  adjusts the  pricing on its  deposit  products to more  actively
manage its funding costs while remaining competitive in its market area.

     The Bank's loan portfolio increased by $2.5 million and $3.9 million during
the three and nine months  ended  September  30, 1998,  respectively.  Net loans
totaled $107.4 million and $103.5 million at September 30, 1998 and December 31,
1997, respectively.  The increase in the loan activity during the three and nine
months  ended  September  30,  1998 was  primarily  due to the Bank's  continued
efforts  to  increase  its  loan  originations  using  funds  currently  held in
investment  securities.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998,
the Bank's average yield on loans was 7.84% and 7.83%, respectively, compared to
7.67% for the year ended December 31, 1997.

     At  September  30,  1998,  the Bank's  investments  classified  as "held to
maturity"  were carried at amortized  cost of $31.9 million and had an estimated
fair market value of $32.3 million, and its securities  classified as "available
for sale" had an estimated fair market value of $60.5 million, including Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation stock with an estimated fair market value of $6.1
million.

     The  allowance for loan losses  totaled  $253,000 at September 30, 1998, an
increase of $16,000 from the  allowance  of $237,000 at December  31, 1997.  The
ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans was 0.24% and 0.23% at September
30, 1998 and December 31, 1997,  respectively.  Also at September 30, 1998,  the
Bank's  non-performing loans were $233,000, or 0.22% of total loans, compared to
$163,000, or 0.16% of total loans, at December 31, 1997, and the Bank's ratio of
allowance  for loan losses to  non-performing  loans at  September  30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997 was 108.58% and 145.50%,  respectively.  The  determination of
the allowance for loan losses is based on management's analysis,  performed on a
quarterly basis.  Various factors are considered,  including the market value of
the underlying  collateral,  growth and composition of the loan  portfolio,  the
relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding  loans,  historical

                                       7
<PAGE>
loss experience, delinquency trends and prevailing economic conditions. Although
management  believes its allowance for loan losses is adequate,  there can be no
assurance  that  additional  allowances  will not be  required or that losses on
loans will not be  incurred.  The Bank has had minimal  losses on loans in prior
years.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998
and 1997

     Net Income.  Net income for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1998 was
$2.6  million,  compared to net income of $1.3 million for the nine months ended
September  30, 1997.  The increase in net earnings for the nine months  resulted
primarily from net earnings on subscription funds and earnings on equity capital
received in the conversion.

     Net  Interest  Income.  Net  interest  income  for the  nine  months  ended
September  30,  1998 was $5.3  million,  compared  to $3.4  million for the nine
months ended  September  30, 1997.  The increase in net interest  income for the
nine months  ended  September  30,  1998 was  primarily  due to net  earnings on
subscription  funds and earnings on equity capital  received in the  conversion.
For the nine months ended  September 30, 1998, the Bank's average yield on total
interest-earning  assets was 6.25%,  compared to 6.74% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997,  and its average cost of  interest-bearing  liabilities  was
4.19% for the nine months ended  September  30, 1998,  compared to 4.90% for the
nine months ended  September  30, 1997.  As a result,  the Bank's  interest rate
spread for the nine months ended  September 30, 1998 was 2.06% compared to 1.84%
for  the  nine  months  ended   September  30,  1997,   and  its  net  yield  on
interest-earning  assets was 2.90% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
compared to 2.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

     Interest  Income.  Interest  income  increased by $1.5 million,  from $10.0
million to $11.5 million,  or by 14.75%,  during the nine months ended September
30, 1998  compared  to the same  period in 1997.  This  increase  resulted  from
investment of subscription  funds and equity capital received in the conversion,
as  well  as  the  continued  strategic  shift  from  investment  securities  to
higher-yielding  loans.  The  average  balance of  securities  held to  maturity
declined  $42.1  million,  from $81.2  million at  September  30,  1997 to $39.1
million at September 30, 1998. Overall,  average total  interest-earning  assets
increased  $47.1  million,  or 23.78%,  from September 30, 1997 to September 30,
1998. The ratio of average  interest-earning assets to average  interest-bearing
liabilities  increased from 109.53% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
to 125.08% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

     Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased  $487,000,  or 7.33%, to $6.2
million for the nine months ended  September 30, 1998,  compared to $6.6 million
for the same period in 1997.  The  decrease  was  attributable  to the  combined
effect of a lower cost of funds and a decline in  interest-bearing  liabilities.
The average cost of  interest-bearing  deposits declined from 4.90% at September
30, 1997 to 4.19% at September  30, 1998.  Over the same period,  the balance of
deposits  decreased $26.9 million,  from $178.8 million at September 30, 1997 to
$151.9 million at September 30, 1998, or 15.04%.

                                       8

     Provision for Loan Losses.  The  allowance  for loan losses is  established
through a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk
inherent  in its  loan  portfolio  and  the  general  economy.  Such  evaluation
considers  numerous  factors  including,   general  economic  conditions,   loan
portfolio  composition,  prior loss experience,  the estimated fair value of the
underlying  collateral  and other factors that warrant  recognition in providing
for an adequate  loan loss  allowance.  The Bank  determined  that an additional
$15,000 provision for loan loss was required for the nine months ended September
30, 1998,  compared to an additional $15,000 provision for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997.

     Non-Interest  Expense.  There was a $71,000 increase in total  non-interest
expense in the nine months ended  September 30, 1998 compared to the same period
in 1997.

     Income  Taxes.  The Bank's  effective  tax rate for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1998 was 34.3%, compared to 33.7% for the same period in 1997. The
increase in income tax expense of  $665,000 in the nine months  ended  September
30, 1998  compared to the same period in 1997 was primarily due to a significant
increase in income.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 1998
and 1997

     Net Income.  Net income for the three months ended  September  30, 1998 was
$829,000,  compared  to net  income  of  $478,000  for the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1997.  The increase in net earnings for the three months  resulted
primarily  from lower cost of funds and earnings on equity  capital  received in
the conversion.

     Net  Interest  Income.  Net  interest  income  for the three  months  ended
September  30, 1998 was $1.7  million,  compared  to $1.2  million for the three
months ended  September  30, 1997.  The increase in net interest  income for the
three months ended  September  30, 1998 was primarily due to lower cost of funds
and earnings on equity capital received in the conversion.  For the three months
ended  September 30, 1998,  the Bank's  average yield on total  interest-earning
assets was 6.84%,  compared to 6.84% for the three  months ended  September  30,
1997,  and its average cost of  interest-bearing  liabilities  was 4.87% for the
three months ended  September  30, 1998,  compared to 4.95% for the three months
ended  September 30, 1997. As a result,  the Bank's interest rate spread for the
three months ended September 30, 1998 was 1.97%, compared to 1.89% for the three
months ended  September 30, 1997, and its net yield on  interest-earning  assets
was 3.33% for the three months ended  September 30, 1998,  compared to 2.34% for
the three months ended September 30, 1997.

     Interest Income.  Interest income increased by $200,000,  from $3.4 million
to $3.6 million,  or by 6.26%,  during the three months ended September 30, 1998
compared to the same period in 1997.  This increase  resulted from investment of
equity capital  received in the conversion,  as well as the continued  strategic
shift from investment  securities to higher-yielding  loans. The average balance
of securities  held to maturity  declined $42.1  million,  from $75.7 million at
September 30, 1997 to $33.6 million at September 30, 1998. In addition,  average
time deposits and other  interest-earning  cash deposits increased $5.6 million,
from $11.9 million at September 30, 1997 to $17.5 million at September 30, 1998.
Overall,  average total  interest-earning  assets  increased  $14.9 million,  or
7.57%,  from  September  30,  1997  to  September  30,  1998.   The   ratio   of

                                       9
<PAGE>
average   interest-earning  assets  to  average   interest-bearing   liabilities
increased from 110.04% for the three months ended  September 30, 1997 to 138.54%
for the three months ended September 30, 1998.

     Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased $352,000,  or 15.88%, to $1.9
million for the three months ended September 30, 1998,  compared to $2.2 million
for the same period in 1997.  The decrease  was  primarily  attributable  to the
decline  in  average   balances  of  deposits.   The  average  cost  of  average
interest-bearing  deposits declined from 4.95% at September 30, 1997 to 4.87% at
September  30,  1998.  Over the same  period,  the  average  balance of deposits
decreased  $26.1  million,  from $179.2  million at September 30, 1997 to $153.1
million at September 30, 1998, or 14.56%.

     Provision for Loan Losses.  The Bank determined  that an additional  $5,000
provision  for loan loss was required for the three months ended  September  30,
1998,  compared to an  additional  $5,000  provision  for the three months ended
September 30, 1997.

     Non-Interest  Expense.  There was a $32,000 increase in total  non-interest
expense in the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period
in 1997.

     Income  Taxes.  The Bank's  effective  tax rate for the three  months ended
September 30, 1998 was 33.9%, compared to 33.5% for the same period in 1997. The
increase in income tax expense of $185,000 in the three months  ended  September
30, 1998  compared to the same period in 1997 was primarily due to a significant
increase in income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

     The Company has no business  other than that of the Bank and  investing the
net  conversion  proceeds  retained  by it.  Management  believes  that  the net
conversion  proceeds  retained by the Company  (approximately  $16.7  million at
September  30,  1998),  earnings on such  proceeds  and  principal  and interest
payments on the ESOP loan,  together with dividends that may be paid by the Bank
to the Company,  will provide  sufficient  funds for its initial  operations and
liquidity  needs. However,  no assurance  can be given that the Company will not
have a need for additional  funds in the future.  The Bank is subject to certain
regulatory limitations with respect to the payment of dividends to the Company.

     The Bank's principal  sources of funds for operations are deposits from its
primary market areas,  principal and interest  payments on loans,  proceeds from
maturing  investment  securities and the net conversion proceeds received by it.
The principal uses of funds by the Bank include the  origination of mortgage and
consumer loans and the purchase of investment securities.

     The Bank is required by current federal  regulations to maintain  specified
liquid assets of at least 5% of its net  withdrawable  accounts plus  short-term
borrowings.  Short-term  liquid assets (those  maturing in one year or less) may
not be less than 1% of the Bank's  liquidity  base. At September  30, 1998,  the
Bank met all regulatory liquidity requirements, and management believes that the
liquidity  levels  maintained are adequate to meet potential  deposit  outflows,
loan demand and normal operations.

                                       10

     The Bank must satisfy three capital  standards:  a ratio of core capital to
adjusted total assets of 3.0%, a tangible capital standard  expressed as 1.5% of
total adjusted  assets,  and a combination of core and  "supplementary"  capital
equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted  assets. At September 30, 1998, the Bank exceeded
all  regulatory   capital   requirements.   The  table  below  presents  certain
information  relating to the Bank's capital compliance at September 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997.

     At September 30, 1998,  the Bank had  outstanding  commitments to originate
loans  totaling $1.5  million.  Management  believes that the Bank's  sources of
funds are sufficient to fund all of its outstanding commitments. Certificates of
deposits  which are  scheduled to mature in one year or less from  September 30,
1998 totaled $63.2 million. Management believes that a significant percentage of
such deposits will remain with the Bank.

     During the three  month  period  ended  September  30,  1998,  the  Company
declared  and paid a  dividend  of $.075 per share of Common  Stock,  or a total
dividend of $303,000.

The Year 2000 Problem

     The  Company  is aware of the  current  concerns  throughout  the  business
community of reliance  upon computer  software that does not properly  recognize
the Year 2000 in date formats, often referred to as the "Year 2000 Problem." The
Year 2000  Problem  is the result of  software  being  written  using two digits
rather than four digits to define the  applicable  year (i.e.,  "98" rather than
"1998").  A failure by a business to properly  identify  and correct a Year 2000
Problem in its operations could result in system failures or miscalculations. In
turn,  this could result in  disruptions of  operations,  including  among other
things a temporary  inability to process  transactions,  or otherwise  engage in
routine business transactions on a day-to-day basis.

     Operations of the Bank depend on the successful  operation on a daily basis
of its  computer  systems  and a third  party  service  bureau's  equipment  and
software.  In its analysis of these systems,  equipment and software,  a plan of
action has been put in place by the Bank to  minimize  its risk  exposure to the
Year 2000 Problem.  As part of the plan, an oversight  committee has been set up
to monitor Year 2000 compliance.  The Bank's service bureau, which processes all
customer  related data,  has  represented  to the Bank that it has completed its
first and second  rounds of Year 2000 testing and that final testing is expected
to be  completed  prior to the end of 1998.  The service  bureau has advised the
Bank that,  upon  completion of the final testing phase, it believes its systems
and equipment will be Year 2000 compliant. A failure to remediate by the service
bureau would have a material adverse effect on the Bank.

                                       11
<PAGE>
     The Bank has modified its credit risk  assessment to include  consideration
of  incremental  risk that may be posed by the inability of customers to address
the Year 2000 Problem.  The Bank has developed  policies and  procedures to help
identify  potential  customer  related  risks  to the  Bank and to gain a better
understanding  of how its customers are managing their own risks associated with
the Year 2000 Problem.  The Bank believes its customer related risks are minimal
due to the small number of commercial loan originations.

     Although  the  Company   believes  that  the  Year  2000  Problem  will  be
substantially  corrected  prior to the Year  2000,  the risk of system  failures
cannot be eliminated. Therefore, the Company will assess the worst case scenario
caused by the Year 2000  Problem  and address the  possible  effects  thereof by
December 31, 1998.  The Company will assess the types and nature of  contingency
plans that will be required to maintain the Company's operational capacity after
January 1, 2000.  This  assessment will cover all critical areas of the Company,
including the Bank's service bureau.

     As  of  September  30,  1998,  the  Company  and  the  Bank  have  incurred
approximately  $5,000 in direct  compliance  costs associated with the Year 2000
Problem.  The Company  estimates  that  $40,000  will  approximate  total direct
compliance  costs through the Year 2000. The Company does not  separately  track
internal costs  incurred for Year 2000  compliance;  such costs are  principally
related to  payroll  expenditures.  Funding  for such costs has been and will be
derived from normal operating cash flow.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     The Company  monitors whether material changes in market risk have occurred
since  year-end.  The Company does not believe that  material  changes in market
risk exposures occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5.  Other Information

     Effective June 29, 1998, the Securities and Exchange  Commission adopted an
amendment to Rule 14a-4 under the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934. As amended,
Rule 14a-4(c)(1)  relates to the Company's use of its discretionary proxy voting
authority with respect to a stockholder  proposal which the  stockholder has not
sought to include in the  Company's  proxy  statement.  If the  proponent of the
proposal  fails to notify  the  Company  by the date  established  by the notice
provision in the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, management proxies will
be allowed to use their discretionary voting authority if the proposal is raised
at the meeting, without any discussion of the matter in the proxy statement.

     The Certificate of  Incorporation of the Company provides an advance notice
procedure  for  certain  business  to be  brought  before an annual  meeting  of
stockholders.  In order for a stockholder to properly  bring business  before an
annual meeting, the stockholder must give written notice to the Secretary of the
Company  not  less  than 30 nor  more  than 60 days  prior  to the  date of such
meeting; provided,  however, that if less than 40 days' notice of the meeting is
given to  stockholders,  written notice by the  stockholder to be timely must be
delivered or mailed to the  Secretary of the Company not later than the close of
business on the tenth day  following  the day on which notice of the meeting was
mailed to stockholders.

     With respect to the Company's  1999 Annual Meeting of  Stockholders,  which
will be held at the main office of Hopkinsville Federal Savings Bank on or about
April 28, 1999, if the Company is not provided notice of a stockholder proposal,
which the  stockholder  has not  previously  sought to include in the  Company's
proxy statement,  by March 29, 1999,  management  proxies will be allowed to use
their discretionary authority as outlined above.
