NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         HopFed Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was formed at the direction of
         Heritage Bank, formerly known as Hopkinsville Federal 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 asset is 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 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, 2002 are not
         necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire
         fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.

         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, 2001. The accounting policies followed by the
         Company are set forth in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
         in the Company's December 31, 2001 Consolidated Financial Statements.

2.       ACQUISITION

         The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Heritage Bank, completed the
         acquisition of two offices of Old National Bank located in Fulton,
         Kentucky ("Fulton Division") and Fall & Fall Insurance (Fall & Fall), a
         full service insurance agency, on September 5 and 6, 2002. This
         acquisition enhances the Company's position in the markets of
         Northwestern Tennessee and southwestern Kentucky.

         The consolidated statement of income includes the results of operations
         for the Fulton Division from the September 5, 2002 acquisition date.
         The transaction resulted in $4.209 million of goodwill, $2.509 million
         of core deposit intangibles and $380,000 of other intangibles, all of
         which are deductible for tax purposes. The amount allocated to the core
         deposit intangible was determined by an independent valuation and is
         being amortized over the estimated useful life of seven years using the
         straight-line method. The amount allocated to other intangible
         represents the identified intangible asset for insurance contracts from
         Fall & Fall. This intangible asset is being amortized over the
         estimated useful life of seven years using the straight-line method.

EMERGING ACCOUNTING ISSUES

SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" issued on June 29, 2001 requires business
combinations entered into after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the
purchase method method of accounting. Specifically identifiable intangible
assets acquired, other than goodwill, will be amortized over their estimated
useful economic life.

SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", issued on June 29, 2002
addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group
of other assets should be accounted for in financial statements upon their
acquisition. This statement also addresses how goodwill and other intangible
assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the
financial statements. This statement results in the end to systematic goodwill
and other intangible amortization and requires impairment testing on those
balances at least annually or if circumstances arise that suggest that
impairment may be an issue. SFAS No. 142 was effective for the Company beginning
on January 1, 2002 and is applicable to all goodwill and other intangible assets
regardless of when those assets were initially recognized.

SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," issued in June
2001, addresses financial accounting and reporting for legal obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated
asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2002. This Statement is not expected to have a material impact on
the Company's financial statements.

                                       8



SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets," issued in
August 2001, supercedes SFAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" and the accounting and
reporting provisions of APB No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations -
Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary,
Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for the disposal of
a segment of a business. While SFAS No. 144 retains many of the fundamental
provisions of SFAS No. 121, it establishes a single accounting model for
long-lived assets to be Disposed of by sale, and resolves certain implementation
issues not previously addressed by SFAS No. 121. SFAS No. 144 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This Statement did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial statements.

SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections," issued in April 2002, rescinds SFAS
No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and SFAS No. 64,
Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. Any gain or
loss on the extinguishment of debt that was classified as an extraordinary item
in prior periods will be Reclassified into continuing operations.


SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities," issued in June 2002 requires that a liability for a cost associated
with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred
compared to current literature, which recognized A liability when the entity
committed to an exit plan. Management believes that this Statement will not have
a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

                               EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following schedule reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic
and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") computations for the three and nine
months ending September 30, 2002. Diluted common shares arise from the
potentially dilutive effect of the Company's stock Options outstanding.

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

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001

         Total assets increased by $124.3 million, from $285.6 million at
December 31, 2001 to $409.9 million at September 30, 2002. Securities available
for sale decreased from $100.5 million at December 31, 2001 to $85.8 million at
September 30, 2002. Federal funds sold increased from $690,000 at December 31,
2001, to $22.1 million at September 30, 2002.

         At September 30, 2002, investments classified as "held to maturity"
were carried at an amortized cost of $3.2 million and had an estimated fair
market value of $3.3 million, and securities classified as "available for sale"
had an estimated fair market value of $85.8 million.

         The loan portfolio increased $107.5 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 2002. Net loans totaled $277.5 million and $170.0 million at
September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, the average yield on loans was 6.89%, compared to
7.69% for the year ended December 31, 2001.

         The allowance for loan losses totaled $ 1.2 million at September 30,
2002, an increase of $317,000 from the allowance of $923,000 December 31, 2001.
The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans was 0.45% at September 30,
2002 and 0.55% at December 31, 2001. Also at September 30, 2002, non-performing
loans were $ 947,000, or 0.34% of total loans, compared to $551,000, or .34% of
total loans, at December 31, 2001, and the ratio of allowance for loan losses to
non-performing loans at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 was 130.9% and
167.5%, respectively. The determination of the allowance for loan losses is
based on management's analysis, performed on a quarterly basis.

         Various factors are considered in determining the necessary allowance
for loan losses, 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 the allowance
for loan losses is adequate, there can be no assurance that additional
provisions for loan losses will not be required or that losses on loans will not
be incurred. Minimal losses on loans have been incurred in prior years.

                                       11



         At September 30, 2002, deposits increased to $335.4 million from $200.3
million at December 31, 2001, a net increase of $135.1 million. The average cost
of deposits during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and
the year ended December 31, 2001 was 3.16%, 3.15% and 4.83%, respectively.

         Management continually evaluates the investment alternatives available
to customers and adjusts the pricing on its deposit products to more actively
manage its funding cost while remaining competitive in its market area.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 and
2001

         Net Income. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was
$3.6 million, compared to net income of $936,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. The increase in net earnings for the nine months end
September 30,2002 was the result of several factors, including a curtailment
expense of $1.4 million dollars taken in September 2001 to fully fund the bank's
defined benefit pension plan. The continued improvement in the Bank's net
interest margins has also contributed to the improved net income levels.

         Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 was $7.8 million, compared to $5.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in net interest income for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 was primarily due to a reduction in
interest expense and additional loans outstanding. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, the Bank's average yield on average interest-earning assets
was 6.38%, compared to 7.33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, and
its average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.39% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, compared to 5.02% for the nine months ended September
30, 2001. As a result, the Bank's interest rate spread for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 was 2.99%, compared to 2.31% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, and its net yield on interest-earning assets was 3.51% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to 3.27% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001.

         Interest Income. Interest income increased by $1.1 million from $13.1
million to $14.2 million, or by 8.4%, during the nine months ended September 30,
2002 compared to the same period in 2001. This increase primarily resulted from
increased loan volume. The average balance of securities available for sale
declined $6.6 million, from $89.5 million at September 30, 2001, to $82.9
million at September 30, 2002, while the average balance of securities held to
maturity declined $2.8 million, from $6.6 million at September 30, 2001 to $3.8
million at September 30, 2002. In addition, average time deposits and other
interest-earning cash deposits declined $11.1 million, from $17.9 million at
September 30, 2001 to $6.8 million at September 30, 2002. Overall, average total
interest-earning assets for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 are
$297.2 million. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average
interest-bearing liabilities declined from 123.78% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 to118.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense declined by $888,000, or 12.1%, to
$6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $7.3
million for the same period in 2001. The decline was attributable to the
repricing of certificates of deposits to lower interest

                                       12



rates. The average cost of average interest-bearing deposits decreased from
5.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 3.28% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002. Over the same periods, the average balance of interest
bearing deposits increased $41.6 million, from $174.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 to $216.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002, or 23.8%.

         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 the 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
$430,000 provision for loan losses was required for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002.

         Non-Interest Expenses. There was a $1.3 million dollar decline in total
non-interest expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to
the same period in 2001, due to a $1.4 million dollar curtailment expense taken
in September 2001.

         Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002 was 34%, compared to 38.0% for the same period in 2001.



Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2002
and 2001

         Net Income. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2002
was $1.3 million compared to a net loss of $394,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2001. The increase in net income for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 was the result of several factors, including reduced interest
expense, loan portfolio growth, and the $1.4 million dollar curtailment expense
taken in September 2001.

         Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001 was $2.6 million and $2.0 million,
respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2002, the average yield
on total interest-earning assets was 6.16%, compared to 7.13% for the three
months ended September 30, 2001, and the average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities was 3.39% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to
4.83% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. As a result, the interest
rate spread for the three months ended September 30, 2002 was 2.77%, compared to
2.29% for the three months ended September 30, 2001, and the net yield on
interest-earning assets was 3.26% for the three months ended September 30, 2002,
compared to 3.22% for the three months ended September 30, 2001.

         Interest Income. Interest income increased by $505,000, from $4.4
million to $4.9 million, or by 11.4%, during the three months ended September
30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001. The average balance of securities
available for sale decreased $4.5 million, from $78.1 million at September 30,
2001 to $73.6 million at September 30, 2002, while the average balance of
securities held to maturity declined $2.3 million, from $5.7 million at

                                       13



September 30, 2001 to $3.4 million at September 30, 2002. In addition, average
time deposits and other interest-earning cash deposits increased $1.6 million,
from $10.1 million at September 30, 2001 to $11.7 million at September 30, 2002.
The average balance of loans receivable at September 30, 2002 was $232.7
million, an increase of $78.4 million from the average balance at September 30,
2001. Overall, average total interest-earning assets for the quarter ended
September 30, 2002 increased by $82.6 million to $321.5 million. The ratio of
average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities was
123.72% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2001 and 116.81% for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2002.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense declined $105,000, to $2.3 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $2.4 million for the
same period in 2001. The decline was attributable to lower interest rates. The
decline in interest expense was muted by the influx of $96 million dollars of
deposits as a result of the acquisition of the Fulton division. The average cost
of average interest-bearing deposits decreased from 4.75% at September 30, 2001
to 3.30% at September 30, 2002. Over the same period, the average balance of
interest bearing deposits increased $59.1 million, from $182.7 million at
September 30, 2001 to $241.8 million at September 30, 2002, or 32.3%. The
average balance of advances from the FHLB was $33.4 million at September 30,
2002, compared to $19.0 million at September 30, 2001.

         Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank determined that an additional
$250,000 provision for loan losses was required for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, compared to an additional $60,000 provision for the three
months ended September 30, 2001.

         Non-Interest Expenses. There was an approximate $1.7 million decline in
total non-interest expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2002
compared to the same period in 2001, due to the $1.4 million dollar curtailment
expense incurred in September 2001.

         Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 was 33.2%. The effective tax rate for the three-month period
ending September 30, 2001 was 30.3%.

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 initial 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, 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 September 30 2002, the

                                       14



Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The table below presents
certain information relating to the Bank's capital compliance at September 30,
2002

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

Tangible Capital ...................              $ 36,245         9.03%
Core Capital .......................              $ 36,245         9.03%
Risk-Based Capital .................              $ 37,485        15.23%

         At September 30, 2002, the Bank had outstanding commitments to
originate loans totaling $20.4 million. Management believes that the Bank's
sources of funds are sufficient to fund all of its outstanding commitments. At
September 30,2002, the Bank has $119.9 million dollars in customer certificates
of deposits which are scheduled to mature in one year or less. Management
believes that a significant percentage of such deposits will remain with the
Bank.

         On September 5 2002, the Bank completed the purchase of the business
assets and liabilities of Old National Bancorp located and assigned to Fulton,
Kentucky. These assets include Fall & Fall Insurance Agency and two banking
locations. The purchase of these assets increased that Bank's deposits by $96
million dollars and its loans by $42 million dollars. In addition, the Bank
received $46 million dollars in short-term treasury notes that have matured and
are being reinvested in a systematic manner.

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 is unable to predict future changes in
market rates and their impact on the Company's profitability. The Company does
not believe that material changes in market risk exposures have occurred since
December 31, 2001.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

         Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried
out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of its
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer
and principal financial officer concluded that its disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information
required to be included in its periodic SEC reports. It should be noted that the
design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about
the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design
will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions, regardless of how remote.

         In addition, the Company reviewed its internal controls, and there have
been no significant changes in its internal controls or other factors that could
significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last
evaluation.
