HFB FINANCIAL CORPORATION
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, 1997 and
1996 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, 1997 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.
2. NONPERFORMING LOANS AND PROBLEM ASSETS
Management reviews the Bank's loans on a regular basis.
After residential mortgage loans become past due more than
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.
Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure
is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is
sold. When such property is acquired, it is recorded at
the lower of the unpaid principal balance or its fair value
less estimated selling cost. Any required write-down of
the loan to its fair market value upon foreclosure is
charged against the allowance for loan losses.
The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued
when, in Management's opinion, the borrower may be unable
to meet payments as they become due. When interest accrual
is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed.
Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the
extent cash payments are received.

_______________
(1) The Bank had no nonaccrual loans at December 31, 1997 and
June 30, 1997.
The Bank has several potential problem commercial real estate
loans to one borrower at December 31, 1997. The carrying amount
of these loans is approximately $1.3 million, including a
$131,000 working capital loan funded in January 1997. The
properties securing these loans are not generating sufficient
cash flow to fund debt service payments and the borrower has
been 30 to 60 days in arrears on the loan during the quarter.
The borrower has obtained funds from another source to make the
most recent payments on this indebtedness. The loans were
current on December 31, 1997. Management is currently
evaluating the collectibility of these loans and assessing the
possibility of any losses the Bank could incur.

4. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued
Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." This statement
simplifies the computation of earnings per share and
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings
per share on the face of the income statement. The
statement is effective for financial statements issued for
periods ending after December 15, 1997, with earlier
application not permitted. The application of this
standard did not have a significant impact on the Companies
earnings per share presentation in this report.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has also issued
Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which
establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components. In addition, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement
No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information," which establishes standards for
disclosing information about operating segments in interim
and annual financial statements. The Company will comply
with the new disclosure requirements beginning in fiscal
1999. The application of these pronouncements will not
have a material impact on the Company's financial condition
or results of operations.
ITEM 2 - 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 Corporation's primary operation is 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,
1997, 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.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
The Bank has an ongoing program to insure that its
operational and financial systems will not be adversely affected
by Year 2000 software failures. While the Bank believes it is
taking all appropriate steps to assure Year 2000 compliance, it
is dependent on vendor compliance to some extent. The Bank is
requiring its systems and software vendors to represent that the
products and services provided are, or will be, Year 2000
compliant, and has planned a program for testing compliance.
The Bank estimates that the cost to redevelop, replace or repair
its technology will not be material.
11
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 3.76% to $165.5
million at December 31, 1997 compared to $159.5 million at June
30, 1997. The majority of this increase is reflected in cash
and due from banks and loans receivable, which was primarily
funded by an increase in deposits.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.2 million to $5.0
million at December 31, 1997 from $3.8 million at June 30, 1997.
This increase was primarily the result of a decrease in
investment securities and an increase in deposits during the
six month period ended December 31, 1997.
The Company maintains a portfolio of trading account
securities which is comprised of common stock of other financial
institutions. The portfolio was $1.1 million at December 31,
1997 compared to $796,000 at June 30, 1997. Most of this
increase was attributable to market appreciation of the
underlying stocks.
The Bank's asset composition continues to change due to
volatility in interest rates and a strong loan demand. In the
current interest rate environment, a substantial portion of
loans originated were adjustable-rate residential mortgages.
During the six months ended December 31, 1997, the Bank
originated $24.0 million in mortgages. Total loans receivable,
net increased 4.57% to $109.8 million at December 31, 1997
compared to $105.0 million at June 30, 1997.
At December 31, 1997, allowance for loan losses was
$846,000 or .76% of loans receivable compared to $710,000 or

months ended December 31, 1997, the provision for loan losses
was $136,000. The Bank has several problem real estate loans to
one borrower at December 31, 1997. The carrying amount of these
loans is approximately $1.3 million including a $131,000 working
capital loan which was funded in January 1997. The properties
securing these loans are not generating sufficient cash flow to
fund debt service payments and the borrower has been 30 to 60
days in arrears on these loans during the six months ended
December 31, 1997. The borrower obtained funds from another
source to make the most recent payments on this indebtedness.
These loans were brought current on December 31, 1997. There
has been no improvement in cash flows since June 30, 1997 and
Management continues to closely monitor this credit as to its
collectibility and any possible losses the Bank could incur.

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, 1997, management purchased $4.8 million in
investment securities and MBSs. These purchases were primarily
funded by proceeds from called and maturing investment
securities, principal collected on MBSs and investments, and the
sale of investment securities. At December 31, 1997, the Bank
held $26.1 million in investment securities, available for sale
with a net unrealized gain of $138,000 and $18.8 million in
investment securities held to maturity.
Accrued interest receivable increased by $207,000 from
$1.074 million at June 30, 1997 to $1.281 million at December
31, 1997 due to a higher volume of interest-earning assets and
the timing of interest payments.
Total deposits increased by $4.2 million to $137.4 million
at December 31, 1997 from $133.2 million at June 30, 1997.

accounts decreased by $637,000.

December 31, 1997 the Bank met all the fully phased-in

respectively at December 31, 1997 as compared to 9.7%, 9.7% and
20.7% at June 30, 1997.

month period ended December 31, 1997 from $375,000 for the three
month period ended December 31, 1996. The primary reasons for
the increase were a $97,000 increase in net interest income
offset by, a $59,000 increase in provision for loan losses, a
decrease of $14,000 in noninterest income, a $57,000 increase in
noninterest expense and a $5,000 increase in income tax expense.
Net interest income increased by $97,000 for the three
month period ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the three
month period ended December 31, 1996. Interest income increased
during the quarter, primarily as the result of a higher level of
interest-earning assets.

for the three month period ended December 31, 1997 as compared
to $2.164 million for the three month period ended December 31,
1996. This increase is mainly attributable to a higher weighted
average balance of loans receivable outstanding.
Interest on investment securities increased by $41,000 to
$717,000 during the three month period ended December 31, 1997
from $676,000 for the three month period ended December 31,

balances.

for the three month period ended December 31, 1997 from $1.570
million for the three month period ended December 31, 1996 as a
result of higher volume and a change in the overall deposit
mix. Lower rate savings accounts declined, while Certificates
of Deposits increased.
13
Interest on short term borrowings and long term debt
increased by $92,000 to $137,000 for the three month period
ended December 31, 1997 from $45,000 for the three month period
ended December 31, 1996 due to higher levels of borrowing.
The provision for loan losses was $68,000 for the three
month period ended December 31, 1997 as compared to $9,000 for
the three month period ended December 31, 1996. The provision
was the 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, 1997 was
.76%.

$173,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 1997 as
compared to $187,000 for the same period in 1996. The decrease
was attributable to a decrease in realized and unrealized gains
on trading account securities and realized gains on sales of
investment securities, available for sale of $36,000, a decrease
of $6,000 in other customer fees, and an increase of $28,000 in
deposit service charge income. Trading account securities are
equity securities, which are subject to market fluctuations.

increased by $72,000 to $470,000 for the three month period
ended December 31, 1997 as compared to $398,000 for the same
period in 1996. This increase is primarily attributable to a
general increase in salaries and wages and performance bonuses
paid during the quarter ended December 31, 1997.
Occupancy expense decreased by $18,000 to $43,000 for the
three month period ended December 31, 1997 compared to $61,000
for the same period in 1996. This decrease was mainly the result
of decreased property taxes and depreciation expense.
Equipment expense increased by $13,000 to $69,000 for the
three month period ended December 31, 1997 from $56,000 for the
three month period ended December 31, 1996 primarily due to

Data processing expense increased by $8,000 to $63,000 for
the three month period ended December 31, 1997 from $55,000 for
the three month period ended December 31, 1996 primarily due to
an increased level of data processing services. In addition,
the Bank has entered into an agreement with a new vendor for
data processing services beginning in March 1998. As a result,
the Bank will incur additional expenses during the conversion
from its present system to the new system. The Bank also
expects to be penalized for breaking its' present contract for
ATM processing services. Management expects these expenses to
be immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

$21,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 1997 as
compared to $57,000 for the three month period ended December
31, 1996 due to lower SAIF premiums.
Professional services decreased by $13,000 for the three
month period ended December 31, 1997 primarily due to lower
accounting and consulting fees. Most of this decrease was
attributable to fees paid to consultants for recommendations to
improve the Bank's operational procedures during the quarter
ended December 31, 1996.
Advertising expense increased by $13,000 to $49,000 for the
quarter ended December 31, 1997 compared to $36,000 for the

$31,000 for the three month period ended December 31, 1997
