NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.     Basis of Presentation

       Harrodsburg  First  Financial  Bancorp (the  "Company") was formed at the
       direction of First Federal  Savings Bank of  Harrodsburg  (the "Bank") to
       become the holding  company of the Bank upon the  conversion  of the Bank
       from mutual to stock form (the "Conversion").  Since the Conversion,  the
       Company's  primary assets have been the outstanding  capital stock of the
       Bank, 50% of the net proceeds of the  Conversion,  and a note  receivable
       from the Company's  Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"),  and its sole
       business is that of the Bank.  Accordingly,  the  consolidated  financial
       statements and discussions  herein include both the Company and the Bank.
       The Company was  incorporated  at the direction of the Board of Directors
       of the Bank in June 1995. On September 29, 1995,  the Bank converted from
       mutual to stock form as a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of the  Company.  In
       conjunction  with the Conversion,  the Company issued 2,182,125 shares of
       its common stock to the public.

       The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  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 three and nine month  periods  ended  June 30,  1996 are not
       necessarily  indicative  of results  that may be expected  for the entire
       fiscal year ending September 30, 1996.


2.     Earnings Per Share

       Earnings  per share for the three and nine month  periods  ended June 30,
       1996 amounted to $0.19 per share and $0.53 per share, respectively, based
       on weighted  average  common  shares  outstanding.  The weighted  average
       number of common shares  outstanding for the three and nine month periods
       ended June 30, 1996 was  2,003,280 and  2,006,145  shares,  respectively.
       Earnings per share is not  presented for the three and nine month periods
       ended June 30, 1995 because the  conversion  to a stock savings bank with
       the simultaneous  formation of a unitary savings and loan holding company
       did not occur until September 29, 1995.


3.     Impaired Loans

       In May 1993,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 114  "Accounting  by Creditors for
       Impairment  of a Loan." In October  1994,  this  statement was amended by
       SFAS No. 118  "Accounting  by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income
       Recognition and Disclosures."  SFAS No. 114 as amended generally requires
       that impaired  loans be measured based on the present value of the loan's
       expected future cash flows  discounted at the loan's  effective  interest
       rate.  The  measurement  of  impairment  for  loans  that are  collateral
       dependent  may be  based  on the fair  value  of the  collateral.  If the
       present  value  or the  fair  value of the  collateral  is less  than the
       recorded investment in the loan an impairment will

                                      6

<PAGE>



       be  recognized.  This  statement  as  amended  allows a  creditor  to use
       existing  methods for  recognizing  interest  income on an impaired loan.
       Both of these  statements  are  effective for  financial  statements  for
       fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. The Company adopted these
       standards on October 1, 1995.

       The Company has defined its population of impaired loans as consisting of
       all loans in a non-accrual status.  Non-accrual loans, which includes all
       impaired  loans,  are loans which  management  believes  may have defined
       weaknesses  whereby  it is  probable  that  all  amounts  due  under  the
       contractual  terms of the  agreement  will not be  collected.  Generally,
       these are loans which are past due as to maturity or payment of principal
       or  interest  for a period of more  than 90 days  unless  such  loans are
       well-secured and in the process of collection. Payments received on these
       loans are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded
       as  interest   income,   or  both,   depending  on   assessment   of  the
       collectibility  of the loan. Loans may be returned to accrual status when
       all  principal  and  interest   amounts   contractually   due  (including
       arrearages)  are  reasonably  assured of repayment  within an  acceptable
       period of time,  combined with  sustained  repayment  performance  by the
       borrower.

       As of June 30, 1996 and for the nine month period then ended, the Company
       did not have any impaired loans. The following summarizes the activity in
       the allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended June 30, 1996.

4.  Dividends

    A cash  dividend  of  $0.20  per  share  was  paid  on  April  15,  1996  to
    stockholders  of record as of April 8, 1996. The total dividends paid by the
    Company for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 amounted to $401,511.

5.  Treasury stock

    Pursuant to the stock  repurchase plan approved by the Board of Directors of
    the Company on March 18,  1996,  the Company  repurchased  a total of 23,100
    shares at a total  price of $353,763  during the nine months  ended June 30,
    1996.

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

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

Net Income

Net income  increased  by $170,000 or 82.0% for the three  months ended June 30,
1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.  The net  increase of $170,000  was
due to an increase of $268,000 in net interest income,  an increase of $5,000 in
non-interest  income,  a decrease of $22,000 in the  provision  for loan losses,
offset by a $31,000  increase in non-interest  expense and a $94,000 increase in
income tax expense.

Interest Income

Interest income was $1.9 million, or 7.09% of average  interest-earning  assets,
for the quarter  ended June 30, 1996 as  compared to $1.6  million,  or 7.27% of
average  interest-earning  assets, for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. Interest
income  increased  by  $269,000  or 16.3%  from 1995 to 1996.  The  increase  in
interest  income was due  primarily to a $17.4  million  increase in the average
balance of  interest-earning  assets  during  the  quarter  ended June 30,  1996
compared to the quarter  ended June 30, 1995.  The increase in  interest-earning
assets  during the quarter  ended June 30,  1996  compared to the same period in
1995 was  primarily  due to the net proceeds  received in the stock  conversion,
which was effective September 29, 1995.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $973,000,  or 4.55% of average  interest-bearing  deposits,
for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $972,000, or 4.81% of average
interest-bearing  deposits,  for the  corresponding  period  in  1995.  Interest
expense remained  relatively  constant as the decrease of 26 basis points in the
average rate paid on deposits during the quarter ended June 30, 1996 compared to
the same period ended June 30, 1995 was offset by an increase of $4.7 million in
the balance of average interest-bearing liabilities in 1996 compared to 1995.

Provision for Loan Losses

There was no provision  for loan losses  during the quarter ended June 30, 1996;
while in the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the provision for loan losses amounted
to $22,000. Management considers many factors in determining the necessary level
of the allowance for loan losses, including an analysis of specific loans in the
portfolio,  estimated value of the underlying collateral,  assessment of general
trends in the real estate market,  delinquency trends,  prospective economic and
regulatory conditions, inherent loss in the loan portfolio, and the relationship
of the  allowance  for loan losses to  outstanding  loans.  At June 30, 1996 the
allowance for loan losses  represented  .39% of total loans  compared to .38% at
June 30, 1995.

There can be no  assurance  that  management  will not  decide to  increase  the
allowance  for loan losses or that  regulators,  when  reviewing the Bank's loan
portfolios in the future,  will not request the Bank to increase such allowance,
either of which could adversely affect bank earnings.  Further,  there can be no
assurance  that the Bank's  actual loan losses will not exceed its allowance for
loan losses.

                                      8

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest  income  amounted to $25,000 and $20,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The largest  item in  non-interest  income is
service fees on loan and deposit accounts, which amounted to $20,000 and $14,000
for the quarter  ended June 30,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The  increase in
non-interest  income of $5,000 was  primarily due to the increase in income from
late fees on  delinquent  loans  plus an  increase  in  service  fees on deposit
transaction accounts.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $31,000 or 8.7% to $392,000 for the quarter ended
June  30,  1996  compared  to  $361,000  for  the  comparable  period  in  1995.
Non-interest  expense was 1.4% of average  assets for the quarter ended June 30,
1996 and 1.6% for the quarter  ended June 30, 1995.  The increase of $31,000 was
due  primarily  to an increase  in  compensation  and  benefits of $5,000 and an
increase  of $21,000 in other  operating  expenses.  The  increase  of $5,000 in
compensation  and  benefits  was due to an  expense  of  $27,000  related to the
employee stock  ownership plan during 1996 partially  offset by retirement  plan
expense and  employee  bonuses  paid in 1995,  but not in 1996.  The increase of
$21,000 in other operating expenses is due primarily to approximately $15,000 in
additional expense related to being a public company.

Income Taxes

The provision  for income tax expense  amounted to $200,000 and $106,000 for the
quarters  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  which as a percentage of
income before income tax expense amounted to 34.7% for 1996 and 34.0% for 1995.


Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

Net Income

Net income  increased  by $387,000 or 56.9% for the nine month period ended June
30, 1996 as compared  to the same period in 1995.  The net  increase of $387,000
was due to an  increase  of  $695,000  in net  interest  income,  an increase of
approximately  $14,000 in  non-interest  income,  a  decrease  of $77,000 in the
provision  for loan  losses,  offset by  approximately  a $182,000  increase  in
non-interest  expense and a $217,000 increase in income tax expense for the nine
month period ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.

Interest Income

Interest income was $5.8 million, or 7.18% of average  interest-earning  assets,
for the nine month  period ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $4.9  million,  or
7.14% of average  interest-earning  assets, for the nine month period ended June
30, 1995.  Interest income increased by $893,000 or 18.3% from 1995 to 1996. The
increase in interest income was due primarily to an increase of $16.1 million in
the average  balance of  interest-earning  assets  during the nine month  period
ended June 30, 1996  compared to the nine month period ended June 30, 1995.  The
increase in interest-earning  assets during the nine-month period ended June 30,
1996  compared to the same period in 1995 was  primarily due to the net proceeds
received in the stock conversion, which was effective September 29, 1995.

Interest Expense

Interest  expense  was  $2.9  million,  or  4.47%  of  average  interest-bearing
deposits,  for the nine month  period  ended June 30,  1996 as  compared to $2.7
million, or 4.60% of average  interest-bearing  deposits,  for the corresponding
period in 1995.  Interest  expense  increased  by  $196,000 or 7.2% from 1995 to
1996.  The  increase in interest  expense was due  primarily to a 13 basis point
increase in the average rate paid on the deposits  plus a $3.5 million  increase
in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits during the period ended June
30, 1996 compared to the corresponding period in 1995.

Provision for Loan Losses

There was no provision  for loan losses  during the nine month period ended June
30, 1996;  while in the nine month period ended June 30, 1995, the provision for
loan  losses  amounted  to  $77,000.   Management   considers  many  factors  in
determining the necessary  level of the allowance for loan losses,  including an
analysis of specific loans in the portfolio,  estimated  value of the underlying
collateral,  assessment of general trends in the real estate market, delinquency
trends,  prospective  economic and regulatory  conditions,  inherent loss in the
loan  portfolio,  and the  relationship  of the  allowance  for loan  losses  to
outstanding loans.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest  income  amounted to $73,000 and $59,000 for the nine month  period
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The largest  item in  non-interest
income is service fees on loan and deposit  accounts,  which amounted to $56,000
and  $44,000  for  the  nine  month   period  ended  June  30,  1996  and  1995,
respectively.  The increase in non-interest  income of $14,000 was primarily due
to the increase in income from late fees on delinquent loans plus an increase in
deposit transaction service fees.


Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest  expense  increased  $182,000 or 16.9% to  $1,264,000  for the nine
month  period  ended June 30, 1996  compared to  $1,082,000  for the  comparable
period  in 1995.  Non-interest  expense  was  1.6% of  average  assets  for both
periods.  The  increase  of  $182,000  was  due  primarily  to  an  increase  in
compensation and benefits of $53,000, an increase in federal and other insurance
premiums of $22,000 and an increase in other operating expenses of $107,000. The
increase of $53,000 in compensation and benefits was due primarily to an expense
of $121,000  related to the employee stock  ownership plan during 1996 partially
offset by retirement  plan expense and employee bonus expense  incurred in 1995,
but not in 1996. The increase of $22,000 in federal and other insurance premiums
is due to added premium charged by the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation on
the increase in customer  deposits.  The increase of $107,000 in other operating
expenses is due primarily to approximately $85,000 in additional expense related
to being a public  company,  which  includes  increases  in  legal,  accounting,
printing and postage, and tax and regulatory filing fees.


Income Taxes

The  provision  for income tax expense  amounted to  approximately  $568,000 and
$351,000 for the nine month  period ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,
which as a percentage of income  before  income tax expense  amounted to a 34.7%
for 1996 and 34.0% for 1995.

(1) Non-accrual status denotes any loan past due 90 days and whose loan balance,
    plus accrued  interest  exceeds 90% of the estimated loan collateral  value.
    Payments   received  on  a  non-accrual  loan  are  either  applied  to  the
    outstanding  principal  balance or  recorded as  interest  income,  or both,
    depending on assessment of the collectibility of the loan.

(2) Other non-performing  assets represent property acquired by the Bank through
    foreclosure.  This property is carried at the lower of its fair market value
    or the principal balance of the related loan, whichever is lower.

At June  30,  1996,  the Bank did not  have  any  loans in  non-accrual  status.
Accordingly,  all income  earned for the nine months  ended June 30, 1996 on the
loans in the table above has been included in income.

At June 30, 1996, there were no loans  identified by management,  which were not
reflected  in the  preceding  table,  but as to which  known  information  about
possible credit problems of borrowers  caused  management to have serious doubts
as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment  terms,
except as described in the following paragraph:

   As of June 30, 1996, the Bank has a commercial loan in the amount of $770,000
   secured by certain real estate in a shopping center located in Nicholasville,
   Kentucky,  which is delinquent two monthly payments according to the terms of
   the loan. The Bank is currently  receiving monthly payments and management is
   of the opinion  that the market  value of the property is adequate to protect
   it from any loss at this time.

Financial Condition

The Company's  consolidated assets increased  approximately $2.4 million or 2.2%
to $109.6  million at June 30, 1996 compared to $107.2  million at September 30,
1995. The increase primarily reflected an increase of $7.6 million in investment
securities offset by a $5.4 million decrease in cash,  interest-bearing deposits
and certificates of deposits.

The  Company's  investment  portfolio  increased   approximately  $7.6  million.
Securities  classified  as  available-for-sale  and recorded at market value per
SFAS No. 115  increased  $315,000  due solely to the increase in market value of
such securities.  Held-to-maturity  securities increased $7.2 million due to the
purchase  of FHLB,  FNMA,  and  local  municipal  bonds,  based on  management's
decision to seek higher yields on funds available for investment.

Under SFAS No. 115, unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale  securities
are recorded net of deferred income tax as a separate component of stockholders'
equity.  At June  30,  1996,  the  Company  included  net  unrealized  gains  of
approximately  $1.0 million in stockholders'  equity. At September 30, 1995, the
Company included net unrealized gains of approximately $829,000 in stockholders'
equity. Per SFAS No. 115, such gains or losses will not be reflected as a charge
or credit to earnings  until the  underlying  gains or loss, if any, is actually
realized at the time of sale.

Loans  receivable  increased by $50,000 from $75.4 million at September 30, 1995
to $75.5  million at June 30,  1996.  This slight  increase  reflects the strong
competition  in the local  market area and the  relative  stability  of interest
rates.

Deposits  increased  approximately  $1.9  million or 2.6% from $75.9  million at
September 30, 1995 to $77.8 million at June 30, 1996. This increase reflects the
Company's competively priced product line within the local market area.

Stockholders' equity increased by $643,000 to $30.8 million as of June 30, 1996.
The  increase  is due to the  increase  in the net  unrealized  appreciation  on
available-for-sale  securities of $208,000,  net income of $1.1 million, plus an
increase of $121,000 for the allocation of 8,730 shares from the ESOP plan which
was established in connection with the Bank's stock  conversion at September 29,
1995,  offset by $353,000  used to  repurchase  23,100  shares of the  Company's
common stock and $401,000 paid in dividends.

Liquidity

The liquidity of the Company  depends  primarily on the dividends  paid to it as
the sole  shareholder  of the Bank. At June 30, 1996,  the Bank could pay common
stock dividends of approximately $9.9 million.

The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits and proceeds from principal and
interest  payments of loans.  Additional  sources of liquidity are advances from
the FHLB of Cincinnati and other  borrowings.  At June 30, 1996, the Bank had no
outstanding  borrowings.  The Bank has utilized  and may in the future,  utilize
FHLB of  Cincinnati  borrowings  during  periods  when  management  of the  Bank
believes that such borrowings  provide a lower cost source of funds than deposit
accounts  and the Bank  desires  liquidity  in order to help  expand its lending
operations.

The Company's  operating  activities  produced  positive cash flows for the nine
month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

The Bank's  most  liquid  assets are cash and  cash-equivalents,  which  include
investments in highly liquid, short-term investments. At June 30, 1996 and 1995,
cash and cash equivalents totaled $19.1 million and $8.0 million, respectively.


                                      13

<PAGE>



At June 30, 1996,  the Bank had $40.0  million in  certificates  of deposits due
within one year and $18.1  million due between one and three  years.  Management
believes,  based  on past  experience,  that the Bank  will  retain  much of the
deposits or replace them with new deposits.  At June 30, 1996, the Bank had $1.8
million in outstanding  commitments to originate mortgages.  The Bank intends to
fund these  commitments  with  short-term  investments  and  proceeds  from loan
repayments.

OTS regulations  require that the Bank maintain  specified  levels of liquidity.
Liquidity is measured as a ratio of cash and certain investments to withdrawable
savings.  The minimum  level of liquidity  required by  regulation  is presently
5.0%.  During the first nine months of fiscal year 1996,  the Bank satisfied all
regulatory  liquidity  requirements,  and management believes that the liquidity
levels maintained are adequate to meet potential deposit outflows,  loan demand,
and normal operations.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto  presented herein have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which
require the measurement of financial  position and operating results in terms of
historical  dollars without  considering  the change in the relative  purchasing
power of money  over  time and due to  inflation.  The  impact of  inflation  is
reflected  in the  increased  cost  of the  Company's  operations.  Unlike  most
industrial  companies,  nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are
monetary in nature.  As a result,  interest  rates have a greater  impact on the
Company's  performance  than do the  effects  of  general  levels of  inflation.
Interest  rates do not  necessarily  move in the same  direction  or to the same
extent as the price of goods and services.

SAIF/BIF Premium Disparity -- Possible Assessment

As a  result  of a  recent  reduction  by the FDIC of  deposit  insurance  rates
applicable to commercial banks,  savings  institutions could be at a significant
disadvantage in competing with banks. Generally, commercial banks are insured by
and  pay  their  premiums  to  the  Bank  Insurance  Fund  ("BIF")  and  savings
associations,  such as the Bank,  are  insured by and pay their  premiums to the
Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund  ("SAIF").  Both  the BIF and the SAIF are
administered  by the FDIC.  Both BIF and SAIF  members had been  paying  deposit
insurance premiums at the same rates which ranged from 0.23% for the most highly
rated  institutions  to 0.31% for the lowest  rated  institutions.  On August 8,
1995, the FDIC approved a decrease in the minimum  insurance  premium charged to
BIF-insured institutions from 0.23% to 0.04% while leaving the level of premiums
intact for SAIF-insured  institutions.  This new rate structure is effective for
the quarter ended  September 30, 1995.  Furthermore,  in November 1995, the FDIC
further lowered BIF premiums  whereby a significant  portion of BIF institutions
now pay only the  statutory  minimum  of  $2,000  annually.  As a result of this
premium disparity, BIF-insured institutions could have a significant competitive
advantage over SAIF-insured  institutions in attracting and retaining  deposits.
This premium  disparity could have a material effect on the results of operation
and financial condition of the Bank in future periods.


                                      14

<PAGE>



A number of proposals have been considered to recapitalize  the SAIF in order to
eliminate  this premium  disparity.  One proposal which had been approved by the
United States Senate and House of  Representatives,  but vetoed by the President
for various  reasons,  required a one-time  assessment of .85% of deposits to be
imposed on all SAIF-insured institutions.  The assessment would result, on a pro
forma  basis as of June 30,  1996,  in a  one-time  charge  to the Bank of up to
approximately  $694,000 ($458,000 net of income tax benefit assuming such charge
would be tax  deductible).  If the Bank is required to pay the proposed  special
assessment,  future deposit  insurance  premiums are expected to be reduced from
0.23% to  approximately  0.06%.  Based upon the Bank's  deposits  as of June 30,
1996,  the Bank's  deposit  insurance  expense would  decrease by  approximately
$94,000  per year after  taxes.  Management  is unable to predict  whether  this
proposal  or any  similar  proposal  will be  enacted or  whether  ongoing  SAIF
premiums will be reduced to a level comparable to that of BIF premiums.

A number of other related  proposals are also under  consideration  in Congress,
including  those  relating  to  merger of the SAIF and BIF,  elimination  of the
thrift  charter and the  federal tax  consequences  of  thrifts'  conversion  to
national  banks.  The  Company is unable to  accurately  predict  whether  these
proposals  will be adopted in their current form or the impact of such proposals
on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Bad Debt Recapture

Legislation  being  considered by Congress  would repeal the bad debt  deduction
under the  percentage  of taxable  income  method of the Internal  Revenue Code.
Savings  associations,  like the Bank, which have previously used the percentage
of taxable  income method in computing  its bad debt  deduction for tax purposes
would be required to recapture  into taxable  income  post-1987  reserves over a
six-year  period  beginning  with  the  1996  taxable  year.  The  start of such
recapture may be delayed until the 1998 taxable year if the dollar amount of the
institution's  residential  loan  originations in each year is not less than the
average  dollar amount of residential  loans  originated in each of the six most
recent  years  disregarding  the years with the highest and lowest  originations
during such period.  For purposes of this test,  residential  loan  originations
would not include  refinancing and home equity loans. The Company cannot predict
at this time if such legislation will be enacted,  or if enacted,  the amount of
bad debt reserves the Company will be required to recapture.
