            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.   Basis of Presentation:

         The unaudited consolidated financial information for the three and six
         month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 includes the results of
         operations of HFB Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") and its
         wholly owned subsidiary Home Federal Bank, Federal Savings Bank ("Home
         Federal" or the "Bank"). HFB Financial Corporation acquired 100 percent
         of the Bank's stock during the completion of the Bank's conversion from
         mutual to stock form on December 28, 1992. The accompanying unaudited
         financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
         accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and
         with the instructions to Form 10-Q. It is suggested that these
         statements and notes be read in conjunction with the financial
         statements and notes thereto included in the Bank's annual report for
         the year ended June 30, 1996 on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
         Exchange Commission.

         In the opinion of management, the financial information reflects all
         adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are
         necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for such
         periods but should not be considered as indicative of results for a
         full year.

         Management reviews the Bank's loans on a regular basis. After
         residential mortgage loans become past due more that 90 days, the Bank
         generally establishes an allowance for uncollectible interest for the
         amount by which the principal balance and uncollected interest exceeds
         90% of the appraised value of the property. Commercial and multi-family
         real estate loans generally are placed on non-accrual status if the
         borrower is placed in bankruptcy proceedings, or management concludes
         that payment in full is not likely. Consumer and commercial loans
         generally are charged off, or an allowance is established for any
         expected loss after they become more than 90 days past due. The Bank
         accrues interest on delinquent loans past due more than 90 days without
         establishing a reserve when management concludes such action is
         warranted, such as in the event the loan is exceptionally well
         collateralized or the borrower establishes the temporary nature of the
         delinquency. Loans are charged off when management concludes that they
         are uncollectible.

         The Bank's collection procedures provide that when a loan becomes past
         due 30 days, the borrower is contacted in person or by telephone or
         mail, and payment is requested. If payment is not promptly received,
         the borrower is contacted again, and efforts are made to formulate an
         affirmative plan to cure the delinquency. After a loan becomes past due
         90 days the Bank generally initiates legal proceedings. Loans
         delinquent 90 days or greater and still accruing are managed based on a
         work out plan developed by the Bank. Interest accrues based on the work
         out plan and the value of the collateral when collateral value is more
         than sufficient to fully cover the loan balance. Interest is not
         accrued on loans in the process of foreclosure.

The Bank has a potential problem commercial real estate loan at December 31,
1996. The carrying amount of the loan is approximately $1.4 million. The
property is not generating sufficient cash flow to fund debt service payments.
The borrower was unable to fund the January, 1997 payment due and the Bank
funded $131,000 in working capital loans secured by a second mortgage on the
properties.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations

General:

   HFB Financial Corporation, a Tennessee Corporation, was formed in September
1992 at the direction of Home Federal Bank, Federal Savings Bank for the purpose
of becoming a holding company for the Bank as part of its conversion from mutual
to stock form ("the "Conversion"). Prior to the Conversion, the Corporation did
not engage in any material operations and at December 31, 1996, its primary
operation was its investment in the common stock of the Bank.

   The Bank is principally engaged in the business of accepting deposits from
the general public and originating permanent loans which are secured by one-to-
four family residential properties located in its market area. The Bank also
originates consumer loans and commercial real estate loans, and maintains a
substantial investment portfolio of mortgage-backed and other investment
securities.

   The operations of Home Federal, and savings institutions generally, are
significantly influenced by general economic conditions and the monetary and
fiscal policies of government regulatory agencies.  Deposit flows and costs of
funds are influenced by interest rates on competing investments and prevailing
market rates of interest. Lending activities are affected by the demand for
financing real estate and other types of loans, which in turn are influenced by
the interest rates at which such financing may be offered and other factors
related to loan demand and the availability of funds.  Just as the Bank's
operations are influenced by regulatory authorities, so are its liquidity levels
and capital resources.  As of December 31, 1996, management is not aware of any
current recommendations by the regulatory authorities, which if implemented,
would have a material effect on the Bank's operations, liquidity or resources.

Asset/Liability Management

   Key components of a successful asset/liability strategy are the monitoring
and managing of interest rate sensitivity of both the interest-earning asset and
interest-bearing liability portfolios.  Home Federal has employed various
strategies intended to minimize the adverse affect of interest rate risk on
future operations by providing a better match between the interest rate
sensitivity of its assets and liabilities.  In particular, the Bank's strategies
are intended to stabilize net interest income for the long-term by protecting
its interest rate spread against increases in interest rates.  Such strategies
include the origination of adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four
family residential real estate and the origination of consumer and other loans
with greater interest rate sensitivities than long-term, fixed-rate residential
mortgage loans.  Although customers typically prefer fixed-rate mortgage loans
in a low interest rate environment, Home Federal has been successful in
originating adjustable-rate loans in recent years.  In addition, the Bank has
used excess funds to invest in various short-term investments including
mortgage-backed securities with terms of seven years or less, U.S. Government
Treasury and Agency securities with terms of ten years or less and other short-
term investments.

   Asset/liability management in the form of structuring cash instruments
provides greater flexibility to adjust exposure to interest rates.  During
periods of high interest rates, management believes it is prudent to offer
competitive rates on short-term deposits and less competitive rates for long-
term liabilities.  This posture allows the Bank to benefit quickly from declines
in interest rates.  Likewise, offering more competitive rates on long-term
deposits during the low interest rate periods allows the Bank to extend the
repricing and/or maturity of its liabilities thus reducing its exposure to
rising interest rates.

Financial Condition

   The Corporation's assets increased by 4.22% to $152.4  million at 
December 31, 1996 compared to $146.2 million at June 30, 1996. The majority of
this increase is reflected in investment securities and loans receivable,

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
which was primarily funded by an increase in deposits and short term borrowings.

   Cash and cash equivalents increased by $300,000 to $5.0 million at 
December 31, 1996 from $4.7 million at June 30, 1996. This increase was
primarily funded by increased deposits and borrowings in the quarter ended
December 31, 1996.

   The Bank's asset composition continues to change due to volatility in
interest rates, aggressive competition and loan demand.  The most significant
change in the asset mix is reflected in the Bank's loan portfolio.  In the
current interest rate environment, a substantial portion of loans originated
were adjustable-rate residential mortgages. During the six months ended 
December 31, 1996, the Bank originated $6.9 million in mortgages.  Total loans
receivable, net increased 3.84% to $99.7 million at December 31, 1996 compared
to $96.0 million at June 30, 1996.

   The Bank augments its lending activities and increases its asset yields by
investing in mortgage-backed securities "MBSs " and U.S. Government securities.
During the six months ended December 31, 1996, the investment and MBS
portfolio's increased $1.8 million to $43.6 million from $41.8 million at 
June 30, 1996. During this period, management purchased $6.5 million in
investment securities and MBSs funded primarily by proceeds from called,
maturing and the sale of investment securities and principal collected on MBSs.
The remaining increase of $1.8 million was funded with excess liquidity. In
order to effectively manage these portfolios, the available for sale "AFS"
portfolios are maintained at approximately 50% of the total investment and MBS
portfolios. At December 31, 1996, investment securities, AFS and MBSs, AFS were
$21.7 million with a net unrealized loss of $91,000.

          At December 31, 1996, the balance in real estate owned was $216,000
compared to $0 at June 30, 1996. The $216,000 balance represents an interest in
a commercial building in Nicholasville, Kentucky, which was obtained through
foreclosure during the quarter ended December 31, 1996.  Management expects to
sell this property within the next six months with no loss.

   Total deposits increased by $4.2 million to $130.9 million at December 31,
1996 from $126.7 million at June 30, 1996.   The deposit mix continues to change
with low cost savings and money market deposit  accounts shifting  into higher
rate certificates of deposit ("CDs").  During the six months ended December 31,
1996, CDs increased $3.2 million and NOW accounts increased $1.3 million, while
passbook savings and money market deposit accounts decreased by $248,000.

   Advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance decreased by $33,000 for the
six months ended December 31, 1996 due to the timing of tax and insurance
payments.

   Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased by $73,000 during the six
months ended December 31, 1996 primarily as the result of the timing of payments
of Kentucky saving and loan taxes and other expenses.

   Income taxes payable increased by $125,000 for the six months ended 
December 31, 1996, due to the timing of tax payments.
 
   Certain components of stockholders' equity increased during the six months
ended December 31, 1996 as the result of employee stock options exercised and a
reduction of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan debt.  Also, 8,850 shares of
treasury stock were purchased at a cost of $205,000 during the six month period
ended December 31, 1996.

   The Bank's regulatory liquidity ratio was 21.13% at December 31, 1996 as
compared to 21.29% at June 30, 1996.  At December 31, 1996 the Bank met all the
fully phased-in regulatory capital requirements under FIRREA.  Tangible, core
and risk-based capital ratios were 9.7%, 9.7% and 25.4% respectively at 
December 31, 1996 as compared to 10.2%, 10.2% and 23.3% at June 30, 1996.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995

   Net earnings increased by $221,000 to $375,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1996 from $154,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1995.
The primary reasons for the increase were a $182,000 increase in net interest
income, a $8,000 decrease in provision for loan losses, a $97,000 increase in
noninterest income and a $56,000 decrease in compensation and benefits offset by
a $16,000 increase in other non-interest expenses and a $106,000 increase in
income tax expense.

   Net interest income increased by $182,000 for the three month period ended
December 31, 1996 as compared to the three month period ended December 31, 1995.
Interest income increased during the quarter as the result of an increase in
volume of net interest-earning assets.

   Interest on loans increased by $192,000 to $2.106 million for the three month
period ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $1.914 million for the three month
period ended December 31, 1995.  This increase is attributable to a higher
weighted average balance of loans receivable outstanding at a higher yield.

   Interest on MBSs decreased by $11,000 to $301,000 during the three month
period ended December 31, 1996 from $312,000 for the three month period ended
December 31, 1995,  primarily due to a lower weighted average balance
outstanding during the period ending December 31, 1996.

   Interest on investment securities increased by $128,000 to $395,000 for the
three month period ended December 31, 1996  from $267,000 for the three month
period ended December 31, 1995.  This increase was primarily due to increased
volume and higher rates on new purchases.

   Interest on other interest-earning assets increased by $3,000 to $36,000 for
the three month period ended December 31, 1996 from $33,000 for the three month
period ended December 31, 1995 due to a higher level of interest-bearing cash
balances at higher yields.

   Interest on deposits increased by $123,000 to $1.569 million for the three
month period ended December 31, 1996 from $1.446 million for the three month
period ended December 31, 1995 as a result of higher interest rates, higher
volume and a change in the overall deposit mix.  Lower rate savings accounts
declined, while CDs increased.

   Interest on borrowed funds increased by $7,000 to $45,000 for the three month
period ended December 31, 1996 from $38,000 for the three month period ended
December 31, 1995 due to higher levels of borrowing.

   Provision for loan losses was $9,000 for the three month period ended
December 31, 1996 as compared to $17,000 for the three month period ended
December 31,1995.  The decrease in the provision was a result of Management's
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses including
consideration of recoveries of loans previously charged off, the perceived risk
exposure among loan types,  actual loss experience, delinquency rates, and
current economic conditions.  The Bank's allowance for loan losses as a percent
of total loans at December 31, 1996 was .69%.

   The Banks non-interest income increased by $97,000 to $183,000 for the three
month period ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $86,000 for the same period
in 1995.  Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $11,000, loan service
charges increased by $10,000, gain on the sale of investment securities "AFS"
increased by $9,000 and gains on trading account securities increased by
$67,000.

   Non-interest expense decreased by $40,000 to $821,000 for the three month
period ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $861,000 for the same period in
1995.  Compensation and benefits decreased by $56,000 to $349,000 for the three
month period ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $405,000 for the same period
in 1995.  This decrease is  primarily attributable to a reduction in the funding
of the Bank's retirement plan.

   Occupancy expense increased by $9,000 to $55,000 for the three month period
ended December 31, 1996 compared to $46,000 for the same period in 1995. This
increase was mainly the result of expenses associated with the new branch office
in New Tazewell.

   Equipment and data processing expense increased by $11,000 to $103,000 for
the three month period ended December 31, 1996 from $92,000 for the three month
period ended December 31, 1995 primarily due to increased data processing fees
and depreciation expense identifiable with the New Tazewell branch.
 
   SAIF deposit insurance premiums decreased by $6,000 to $57,000 for the three
month period ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the three month period ended
December 31, 1995 due to lower premiums as a result of the recapitalization of
Savings Association Insurance Fund in September 1996.  Professional services
increased by $5,000 to $60,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 from
$55,000 for the same period in 1995 due to the cost of consultants used during
the period.  That project was completed in November and the associated expense
ended at that point.

   Kentucky savings and loan tax increased by $6,000 to $32,000 for the three
month period ended December 31, 1996 from $26,000 for the three month period
ended December 31, 1995 due to a higher level of deposits.

   Other expense decreased by $11,000 to $165,000 for the three month period
ended December 31, 1996 from $176,000 for the three month period ended 
December 31, 1995 as the result of small reductions in several expense
categories.

   Income taxes increased by $106,000 to $203,000 for the three month period
ended December 31, 1996 compared to $97,000 for the three months ended 
December 31, 1995 due to higher earnings.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995

   Net earnings decreased by $245,000 to $163,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 1996 from $408,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1995.  The
primary reasons for the decrease were a $289,000 increase in net interest
income,  an increase of $163,000 in non-interest income and decrease of $126,000
in income tax expense offset by a $68,000 increase in provision for loan losses,
a $49,000 increase in non-interest expense and a one time SAIF special
assessment of $706,000.

   Net interest income increased by $289,000 for the six month period ended
December 31, 1996 as compared to the six month period ended December 31, 1995.
During the six months ended December 31, 1996, the Bank's net interest income
increased primarily as a result of higher volume of net interest-earning assets.

   Interest on loans increased by $385,000 to $4.141 million for the six month
period ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $3.756 million for the six month
period ended December 31, 1995.  This increase is mainly attributable to a
higher volume of loans receivable outstanding.

   Interest on MBSs decreased by $27,000 to $595,000 during the six month
period ended December 31, 1996 from $622,000 on for the six month period ended
December 31, 1995 primarily due to a lower weighted average balance.

   Interest on investment securities increased by $244,000 to $776,000 for the
six month period ended December 31, 1996 from $532,000 for the six month period
ended December 31, 1995.  This increase was primarily due to increased volume
and higher yields on new purchases.

   Interest on deposits increased by $328,000 to $3.145 million for the six
month period ended December 31, 1996 from $2.817 million for the six month
period ended December 31, 1995 as a result of higher interest rates,

                                       14

higher volume and a change in the overall deposit mix.  Lower rate NOW accounts
and savings accounts declined, while CDs increased.

   Interest on borrowed funds decreased by $14,000 to $81,000 for the six month
period ended December 31, 1996 from $95,000 for the six month period ended
December 31, 1995 due to lower levels of borrowing.

   Provision for loan losses  increased by $68,000 to $87,000 for the six month
period ended December 31, 1996 compared $19,000 for the six month period ended
December 31, 1995.  This level of provision was a result of Management's
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses including
consideration of recoveries of loans previously charged off, the perceived risk
exposure among loan types,  actual loss experience, delinquency rates, and
current economic conditions.  During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, a
provision of $68,000 was made to cover possible losses on a participation loan
secured by commercial real estate.  The Bank's allowance for loan losses as a
percent of total loans at December 31, 1996 was .69%.

   The Banks non-interest income increased by $163,000 to $333,000 for the six
month period ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $170,000 for the same period
in 1995.  Loan service charges increased by $10,000, service charges on deposit
accounts increased by $18,000, a net gain on the sale of trading account
securities increased by $121,000, and a net gain on the sale of investment
securities AFS, accounting for most of the increase.  There were no significant
changes in any other single category of non-interest income.

   Non-interest expense increased by $755,000 to $2.356 million for the six
month period ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $1.601 million for the same
period in 1995.  Compensation and benefits decreased by $54,000 to $738,000 for
the six month period ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $792,000 for the
same period in 1995.  This decrease is primarily due to a reduction in the cost
funding the Bank's retirement plan.

   Occupancy expense increased by $22,000 to $104,000 for the six month period
ended December 31, 1996 compared to $82,000 for the same period in 1995. This
increase was mainly the result of expenses associated with the new branch office
in New Tazewell, which started operations in October 1996.

   Equipment and data processing expense increased by $46,000 to $215,000 for
the six month period ended December 31, 1996 from $169,000 for the six month
period ended December 31, 1995 primarily due to increased data processing fees
and depreciation expense identifiable with the New Tazewell branch.
 
   The Banks Federal deposit insurance premium increased by $4,000 to $127,000
for the six month period ended December 31, 1996 from  $123,000 for the six
month period ended December 31, 1995 due to a higher level of deposits.  As a
result of the legislation enacted to recapitalize the SAIF, the Bank's federal
deposit insurance premium will be effectively reduced by approximately $18,000
per month beginning January 1, 1997.  In addition to the Bank's regular deposit
insurance assessment, a one time special assessment of $706,000 in accordance
with legislation enacted on September 30, 1996 for the recapitalizion of the
SAIF was expensed during the six months ended December 31, 1996.

   Professional services increased by $22,000 to $111,000 for the six month
period ended December 31, 1996 compared to $89,000 for the same period in 1995.
Most of this increase consisted of $18,000 in consulting fees. The Bank employed
consultants to improve its operations during the six months ended December 31,
1996.  The project was completed in November 1996 and the associated expense
ended at that point.

   Kentucky savings and loan tax increased by $12,000 to $65,000 for the six
month period ended December 31, 1996 from $53,000 for the six month period ended
December 31, 1995 due to a higher level of deposits.

   Other expense decreased by $3,000 to $290,000 for six the month period ended
December 31, 1996 from $293,000 for the six month period ended December 31,
1995.  There were no major deviations in any one category of other expenses
during the six months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the six months
ended December

31, 1995.

   Income taxes decreased by $126,000 to $95,000 for the six month period ended
December 31, 1996 compared to $221,000 for the six months ended December 31,
1995 due to lower earnings.
