NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

HopFed Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed at the direction of Heritage Bank, formerly 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, and its sole business is that of the converted Bank.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States of America 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 U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for fair representation have been included. The results of operations and other data for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.

(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following schedule reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) computations for the three-months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. Diluted common shares arise from the potentially dilutive effect of the Company’s Stock Options outstanding.

(3) STOCK OPTIONS

The Company accounts for its stock option plans in accordance with the provision of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock issued to Employees, and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. As such, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. SFAS 123 requires entities which continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 to provide pro-forma earnings per share disclosure for stock option grants made in 1995 and subsequent years as if the fair value based method defined in SFAS 123 had been applied. SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of FASB No. 123, provides that an entity that has transitioned to the accounting treatment prescribed by SFAS 123 may use the intrinsic value method in lieu of the fair value based method for determining the fair value of stock options at the date of grant. SFAS 148 requires disclosure in addition to SFAS 123 if APB Opinion No. 25 is currently being applied.

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB),Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in the accounting for the plan. No compensation cost has been recognized for the plan because the stock option prices are equal to or greater than the fair value at the grant date. The table below is a reconciliation of reported and pro forma net income and earnings per share had compensation cost for the plan been determined based on the fair value of SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,as amended:

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

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004

Total assets increased by $2.4 million, from $579.7 million at December 31, 2004 to $582.1 million at March 31, 2005. Securities available for sale decreased from $158.2 million at December 31, 2004 to $153.0 million at March 31, 2005. Federal funds sold decreased from $850,000 at December 31, 2004 to $200,000 at March 31, 2005.

At March 31, 2005, investments classified as “held to maturity” were carried at an amortized cost of $22.7 million and had an estimated fair market value of $22.5 million, and securities classified as “available for sale” had an estimated fair market value of $153.0 million.

The loan portfolio increased $4.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005. Net loans totaled $361.2 million and $356.8 million at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the average yield on loans was 5.61%, compared to 5.55% for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $3.4 million at March 31, 2005, an increase of $150,000 from an allowance of $3.3 million at December 31, 2004. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans was 0.94% and 0.91% at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Also at March 31, 2005, non-performing loans were $533,000, or 0.15% of total loans, compared to $653,000, or 0.18% of total loans, at December 31, 2004. Non-performing assets, which include other real estate owned and other assets owned, were $698,000, or 0.12% of total assets at March 31, 2005, compared to $764,000, or 0.13% of assets, at December 31, 2004. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was 642.4% and 501.2%, 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.

At March 31, 2005, deposits increased to $438.2 million from $436.2 million at December 31, 2004, a net increase of $2.0 million. The average cost of deposits during the period ended March 31, 2005, March 31, 2004, and the year ended December 31, 2004 was 2.35%, 2.46%, and 2.27%, respectively. 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 its market area.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004

Net Income. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $ 993,000, compared to net income of $947,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $3.4 million, compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was primarily due to an increase in both total loans outstanding and investments. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company’s average tax equivalent yield on average interest-earning assets was 5.15%, compared to 5.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2004, and its average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to 2.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2004. As a result, the Company’s tax equivalent interest rate spread for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 2.40%, compared to 2.53% for the three months ended March 31, 2004, and its net yield on interest-earning assets was 2.61% for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to 2.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $531,000 from $6.3 million to $6.8 million, or by 8.4%, during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. This increase primarily resulted from growth in the loan and investment portfolios. The average balance of loans receivable increased $19.7 million from $337.1 million at March 31, 2004 to $356.8 million at March 31, 2005. The average balance of investment securities increased $20.1 million, from $159.2 million at March 31, 2004 to $179.3 million at March 31, 2005. Average time deposits and other interest-earning cash deposits decreased $ 1.8 million, from $3.2 million at March 31, 2004 to $ 1.4 million at March 31, 2005. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 109.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 to 108.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decline in the interest earning asset ratio is largely the result of increases in fixed assets due to the purchases of two parcels of land with the intent to construct new retail offices in both locations during 2005 and 2006.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $453,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to a higher cost of deposits and borrowings due to increases in short term interest rates. The average cost of average interest-bearing deposits increased from 2.46% at March 31, 2004 to 2.53% at March 31, 2005. Over the same period, the average balance of deposits increased $15.5 million, from $421.0 million at March 31, 2004 to $436.5 million at March 31, 2005 and the average balance of funds borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB) increased $28.3 million, from $52.9 million at March 31, 2004 to $81.2 million at March 31, 2005. The average cost of average borrowed funds from the FHLB increased from 3.22% at March 31, 2004 to 3.36% at March 31, 2005. As a result of a sharp increase in the three-month libor, the Company’s interest expense associated with the $10.3 million subordinated debenture issuance increased to 6.48% for the three month period ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 4.27% for the same period in 2004. The interested interest expense associated with the subordinated debentures included approximately $21,000 in cost related to an interest rate swap entered into in October of 2004 to effectively fix the cost of this liability through September of 2008.

11

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 Company determined that an additional $300,000 provision for loan loss was required for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

Non-Interest Income. There was a $176,000 increase in non-interest income in the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, service charge income was $530,000, an increase of $149,000 over the same period in 2004. The increase in service charge income is largely the result of a new overdraft protection product. Other income increased over $200,000 during the same period, largely the result of improved operating results from the Company’s insurance and investment subsidiaries. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, gains on the sale of loans were $11,000 as compared to $32,000 in the same period in 2004. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company experienced no gains on the sale of investments as compared to a gain of $171,000 for the same period in 2004.

Non-Interest Expenses. There was a $268,000 increase in total non-interest expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004, primarily due to additional compensation and professional services expense. During 2005, the Company anticipates that non-interest expense will increase approximately $300,000 as a result of Management’s efforts to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. Both professional services and compensation expense will be affected by Sarbanes-Oxley.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 29.6%, compared to 33.5% for the same period in 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company has no business other than that of the Bank. Management believes that dividends that may be paid by the Bank to the Company will provide sufficient funds for its current 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 must satisfy three capital standards: a ratio of core capital to adjusted total assets of 4.0%, 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 March 31, 2005, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The table below presents certain information relating to the Company’s and Bank’s capital compliance at March 31, 2005.

	At March 31, 2005
	Company				Bank
	Amount		Percent		Amount		Percent
	(Dollars in thousands)
Tangible Capital	$	55,584	9.60	%	$	54,046	9.35	%
Core Capital	$	55,584	9.60	%	$	54,046	9.35	%
Risk-Based Capital	$	58,858	17.25	%	$	57,470	16.88	%

At March 31, 2005, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans totaling $9.7 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 March 31, 2005 totaled $101.8 million. Management believes that a significant percentage of such deposits will remain with the Bank. At March 31, 2005, the Bank had noncancelable purchase obligations and fixed asset purchases of approximately $6.0 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Additional written or oral forward-looking statements may be made by the Company from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise. The words “believe,” “expect,” “seek,” and “intend” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement is made. Such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, projections of income or loss, expenditures, acquisitions, plans for future operations, financing needs or plans relating to services of the Company, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing.

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Future events and actual results could differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by or underlying the forward-looking statements.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims, any obligation to publicly release the results of revisions which may be made to forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

Effect of New Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R),Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123(R)). SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as an expense in the historical financial statements as services are performed. Prior to SFAS No. 123(R), only certain pro forma disclosures of fair value were reported. The provisions of this Statement are effective for the first fiscal year reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 123(R) commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2006.

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’s income and the value of its assets are strongly influenced by changes in interest rates. The Company does not believe that material changes in Company’s interest rate risk profile have occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2005. In general, a moderate increase in interest rates will modestly improve the Company’s net interest margin due to the Company’s high concentration of variable rate mortgage loans. The Company’s interest expense on deposits would increase if market rates increase, as approximately 3.0% to 5.0% of total time deposits mature on a monthly basis and demand deposit accounts may re-price. However, the market value of the Company’s investment portfolio would decline and its average life and modifed duration extend if interest rates increase. A severe increase in rates, generally considered to be an increase of 2.0% or more in one year, would adversely affect both net income and the net present value of the Company’s assets.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), an evaluation was carried out with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and 15 d-14(c) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the three months ended March 31, 2005 to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was being prepared.

Any control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that its objectives are achieved. The design of a control system inherently has limitations, including the controls cost relative to their benefits. Additionally, controls can be circumvented. No cost-effective control system can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud will be detected.

Effective in 2006, the Company will become subject to Section 404 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires management to assess and report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Additionally, it requires the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to report on management’s assessment as well as report on its own assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Management is currently establishing policies and procedures to assess and report on internal controls, and has retained an outside firm to assist it in determining the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

There were not changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasaonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
