                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,  1999,  are not
         necessarily  indicative  of results that may be expected for the entire
         fiscal year ending December 31, 1999.

         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, 1998. The accounting  policies  followed by the
         Company are set forth in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
         in the Company's December 31, 1998 Consolidated Financial Statements.

2.       PENDING ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         The Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued Statement
         of Financial Standards 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. As amended by Statement of
         Financial  Standards  No. 137,  this  statement is effective for fiscal
         years beginning after June 15, 2000 (prospectively) and is not expected
         to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

         In October  1998,  the FASB issued  Statement of  Financial  Accounting
         Standards No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed  Securities Retained
         after the  Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage
         Banking  Enterprise"  ("SFAS 134"),  an amendment of FASB Statement No.
         65. SFAS 134 requires that after an entity  securitizes  mortgage loans
         held for sale, it must classify the resulting retained  mortgage-backed
         securities or other retained  interests based on its ability and intent
         to  sell  or  hold  those  investments.  However,

                                       5
<PAGE>

         a  mortgage  banking  enterprise  must classify as trading any retained
         mortgage-backed  securities  that  it commits to sell  before or during
         the securitization  process.  SFAS  134 conforms (1) the accounting for
         securities  that  have  been  retained  after  the  securitization   of
         mortgage  loans  by  a  mortgage  banking   enterprise   with  (2)  the
         accounting   for   securities   that  have  been   retained  after  the
         securitization  of other  types of  assets by  a  non-mortgage  banking
         enterprise.  This  Statement is effective for  the first fiscal quarter
         after  December 15, 1998.  However,  since the  Company and the Bank do
         not  securitize  mortgage  loans,  the Company  does not anticipate any
         financial statement impact from adopting this Statement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND DECEMBER 31, 1998

     Total assets decreased by $1.4 million, from $220.0 million at December 31,
1998 to $218.6  million at  September  30,  1999.  Securities  held to  maturity
declined $17.0 million due to various issues maturing.  At September 30, 1999, a
substantial  portion of these funds were reinvested in securities  available for
sale, which increased $11.8 million,  and net loans receivable,  which increased
by $4.7 million.

     At September  30, 1999,  deposits  decreased to $153.7  million from $154.8
million at December 31, 1998, a net decrease of $1.1  million.  The average cost
of deposits for each of the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1999 was
4.65%,  compared  to 4.65% for the year  ended  December  31,  1998.  Management
continually  evaluates the  investment  alternatives  available to customers and
adjusts the pricing on its deposit  products to more actively manage its funding
costs while remaining competitive in the Bank's market area.

     The loan  portfolio  increased by $1.7 million and $4.7 million  during the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively.  Net loans totaled
$113.5  million and $108.8  million at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
respectively. The increase in the loan activity during the three and nine months
ended  September  30,  1999  was  primarily  due to  efforts  to  increase  loan
originations using funds currently held in investment securities.  For the three
and nine months ended  September 30, 1999,  the average yield on loans was 7.35%
and 7.50%, respectively, compared to 7.82% for the year ended December 31, 1998.

     At September 30, 1999,  investments  classified as "held to maturity"  were
carried at  amortized  cost of $10.4  million and had an  estimated  fair market
value of $10.6 million, and securities classified as "available for sale" had an
estimated fair market value of $79.9 million.

     In  August  1999,  the Bank  sold 100% of its  Federal  Home Loan  Mortgage
Corporation   ("FHLMC")  stock  portfolio   (123,072   shares)  in  open  market
transactions and realized an after-tax gain on such sales of approximately  $4.3
million.  The FHLMC stock had been  recorded  at its fair market  value with the
associated  unrealized  gains recorded in the Company's  consolidated net worth.
The sales were  undertaken in recognition  that the FHLMC stock had  appreciated
significantly over the last several years. Although the FHLMC has benefited from
higher  levels of  mortgage  loans  fostered by lower  interest  rates in recent
years,

                                       6
<PAGE>

as a result  of an  uncertainty  over the  direction  of  interest  rates and an
apparent slowing of mortgage loan originations in general,  the Company believed
that the FHLMC  stock  would be  subject  to future  adverse  market  pressures.
Additionally,  the FHLMC is under  increasing  pressure  to  expand  its role in
promoting low income  housing,  which the Company  believed may also depress the
market value of the FHLMC stock. From December 31, 1998 to the date of sale, the
Bank's FHLMC stock portfolio  declined in value  approximately  17%. Proceeds of
these sales were invested in higher yielding investments.

     The  allowance for loan losses  totaled  $273,000 at September 30, 1999, an
increase of $15,000 from the  allowance  of $258,000 at December  31, 1998.  The
ratio of the  allowance  for loan losses to loans was 0.24% at each of September
30, 1999 and December 31, 1998. Also at September 30, 1999, non-performing loans
were  $557,000,  or 0.49% of total loans,  compared to  non-performing  loans of
$287,000,  or 0.26% of total  loans,  at  December  31,  1998,  and the ratio of
allowance  for loan losses to  non-performing  loans at  September  30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998 was 49.0% and 90.0%,  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
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.  Minimal losses on loans have been incurred in prior
years.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND
1998

     NET INCOME.  Net income for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1999 was
$4.6  million,  compared to net income of $2.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998.  Excluding  the gain on sale of FHLMC stock,  net income for
the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  would  have  been  approximately
$257,000.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company incurred
additional  compensation  expense of $2.1  million  attributable  to  additional
employee   benefits   which  were  approved  at  the  1999  Annual   Meeting  of
Stockholders.  The Company  also  incurred a decrease in time  deposit  interest
income due to the elimination of net earnings on subscription  funds received in
the conversion to stock form.

     NET  INTEREST  INCOME.  Net  interest  income  for the  nine  months  ended
September  30,  1999 was $5.2  million,  compared  to $5.3  million for the nine
months ended  September  30, 1998.  The decrease in net interest  income for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 was primarily due to the elimination of net
earnings on subscription  funds received in the conversion.  For the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, the average yield on total interest-earning assets was
6.54%,  compared to 6.25% for the nine months ended  September 30, 1998, and the
average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 4.65% for the nine months ended
September  30, 1999,  compared to 4.19% for the nine months ended  September 30,
1998. As a result,  the interest rate spread for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 was 1.89%,  compared to 2.06% for the nine months ended  September  30,
1998,  and net yield on  interest-earning  assets was 3.24% for the nine  months
ended September 30, 1999,  compared to 2.90% for the nine months ended September
30, 1998.

     INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income decreased by $987,000, from $11.5 million
to $10.5 million,  or by 8.6%,  during the nine months ended  September 30, 1999
compared to the same  period in 1998.  This  decrease  primarily  resulted  from
elimination  of  subscription  funds  received  in the  conversion.  The average
balance of  securities  held to  maturity  declined  $23.8  million,  from $39.1
million during the nine months ended  September 30, 1998 to $15.3 million during
the  nine  months   ended   September   30,   1999.   Overall,   average   total
interest-earning  assets decreased $31.0 million,  or 12.7%,  from September 30,
1998 to September  30,  1999.  The ratio of average  interest-earning  assets to
average interest-bearing  liabilities increased from 125.08% for the nine months
ended  September  30, 1998 to 140.76% for the nine months  ended  September  30,
1999.

     INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense decreased  $856,000,  or 13.9%, to $5.3
million for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999,  compared to $6.2 million
for the same period in 1998. The decrease was  attributable to interest  expense
of  approximately  $400,000 which was paid in 1998 on  subscriptions  for common
stock in the conversion. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased
from 4.19% during the nine months ended  September  30, 1998 to 4.65% during the
nine months  ended  September  30, 1999.  Over the same  period,  the balance of
deposits decreased $803,000, from $151.9 million at September 30, 1998 to $151.1
million at September 30, 1999, or 0.53%.

     OTHER INCOME.  Other income  increased $6.5 million to $6.9 million for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1999,  compared to $419,000 for the nine months
ended September 30,1998. The increase was attributable to a $6.5 million gain on
the sale of FHLMC stock.

     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, 1999,  compared to an additional $15,000 provision for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998.

     NON-INTEREST   EXPENSE.   There  was  a  $3.2  million  increase  in  total
non-interest expense in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the
same period in 1998,  primarily  due to a $3.0 million  increase in salaries and
benefits.

     INCOME  TAXES.  The Bank's  effective  tax rate for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1999 was 35.9%, compared to 34.3% for the same period in 1998. The
abnormally high effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
was attributable to $398,000 of expenses being  non-deductible for tax purposes.
The  increase  in income tax expense of $1.2  million in the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1999,  compared to the same period in 1998 was primarily due to an
increase of $3.2 million in income before income taxes.

<PAGE>
     NON-INTEREST  EXPENSE.  There was a $843,000 increase in total non-interest
expense in the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same period
in 1998, primarily due to a $784,000 increase in salaries and benefits.

30, 1999 was 34.6%,  compared to 33.9% for the same period in 1998. The increase

1999  compared to the same period in 1998 was  primarily  due to a $5.7  million
increase in income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

     The Company has no business other than that of the Bank and investing funds
held by it.  Management of the Company  believes that dividends that may be paid
by the Bank to the Company will provide  sufficient funds for its 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,  earnings on
investment  securities,  and proceeds from maturing investment  securities.  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, 1999,  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.

     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, 1999, the Bank exceeded
all  regulatory   capital   requirements.   The  table  below  presents  certain
information relating to the Bank's capital compliance at September 30, 1999.

                                                 Amount          Percent
                                                 ------          -------
                                                 (Dollars in thousands)

    Tangible Capital . . . . . . . . . .        $41,143           20.37%
    Core Capital . . . . . . . . . . . .         41,143           20.37
    Risk-Based Capital . . . . . . . . .         41,416           54.33

     At September 30, 1999,  the Bank had  outstanding  commitments to originate
loans  totaling $1.4  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

                                       10
<PAGE>

less from September 30, 1999 totaled $71.3 million.  Management  believes that a
significant percentage of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

     During the three  month  period  ended  September  30,  1999,  the  Company
declared  and paid a  dividend  of $.075 per share of Common  Stock,  or a total
dividend of $307,000.

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 Company  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 Company's service provider has successfully completed the renovation of
its  equipment  as well as Phase One and Phase Two of its proxy tests  involving
the participation of member institutions  transmitting within a test institution
created for this  purpose.  Phase Three of these  tests was  completed  in April
1999.   Institution   transmission   tests  were  held  in  November  1998  with
satisfactory  results.  The service provider has contracted with a recovery site
in Philadelphia to cover Year 2000 contingencies and conducted Business Recovery
Tests in April to ensure  proper  transmission  with  member  institutions.  The
service  provider  believes its systems and equipment  will be well prepared for
the Year 2000 Problem.

     The Company has completed its renovation of computer equipment,  assessment
of mission-critical  systems,  review of tests, and contingency planning. Due to
its preparations and the preparations of its service  provider,  a high level of
confidence  exists  within the  management  of the Company that  disruptions  to
normal  business  operations  due to the  Year  2000  Problem  will be  minimal.
However,  the risk of system  failures  cannot be eliminated.  Also, the Company
cannot  guarantee the  performance  of third parties as to which it has material
relationships.

     As of September 30, 1999, the Company had incurred approximately $41,000 in
direct  compliance  costs  associated  with the Year 2000  Problem.  The Company
estimates that $45,000 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.
