                           HFB FINANCIAL CORPORATION

            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     The unaudited consolidated financial information for the three and nine
     month periods ended March 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, 1995 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 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.

     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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATION

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 March 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 March 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 8.76% to $142.8  million at March 31,
1996 compared to $131.3 million at June 30, 1995.  The majority of this increase
is reflected in cash and equivalents, investment securities,

                                       11

 
loans receivable and premises and equipment, which was primarily funded by an
increase in deposits.

    Cash and cash equivalents increased by $3.4 million to $7.4 million at March
31, 1996 from $4.0 million at  June 30, 1995.  This increase was primarily
funded by increased deposits in the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

    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 nine months ended March 31, 1996, the Bank
originated $22.6 million in mortgages.  Total loans receivable, net increased
7.54% to $94.1 million at March 31, 1996 compared to $87.5 million at June 30,
1995.

    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 nine months ended March 31, 1995, management purchased $11.0 million
in investment securities and MBSs.   These purchases were funded primarily by
proceeds from called and maturing investment securities and principal collected
on MBSs.  At December 29, 1995, the Bank restructured its investment and MBS
portfolios as a result of the window of opportunity  provided when the Financial
Accounting Standards Board "FASB" announced that it was suspending, for a brief
period, the transfer provisions of  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
"SFAS" No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities.  In order to more effectively manage these portfolios, the available
for sale "AFS" portfolios were increased by $13.9 million representing
approximately  50% of the total investment and MBS portfolios.  At March 31,
1996,  investment securities, AFS and MBSs, AFS were $18.7 million with a net
unrealized loss of $80,000.

    Accrued interest receivable increased by $188,000 from $800,000 at June 30,
1995 to $988,000 at March 31, 1996 due to a higher volume of interest-earning
assets and the timing of interest payments.

    Premises and equipment increased by $.5 million to $2.3 million at March 31,
1996 from $1.8 million at June 30, 1995 primarily due to construction and
equipment costs associated with the Bank's new branch in New Tazewell,
Tennessee.  The New Tazewell branch opened for business in early October of
1995.

    Total deposits increased by $12.7 million to $122.8 million at March 31, 
1996 from $110.1 million at June 30, 1995.  Of this increase, $7.8 million was
attributable to the New Tazewell branch, which opened in October of 1995.  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
nine months ended March 31, 1996, CDs increased $14.9 million and NOW accounts
increased $238,000, while passbook savings and money market deposit accounts
decreased by $2.4 million.

    Accrued interest on deposits increased by $656,000 to $1.016 million at 
March 31, 1996 from $360,000 at June 30, 1995.  The increase was due to 
increased volume and the timing of interest payments.

    Advances  from Federal Home Loan Bank decreased by $1.9 million during the
nine months ended March 31, 1996 due to a maturing advance paid off in October
of 1995.

    Advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance decreased by $50,000 for the
nine months ended March 31, 1996 due to the timing of tax and insurance
payments.

    Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased by $36,000 during the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 primarily as the result of the timing of payments of
Kentucky saving and loan taxes and other expenses.

    Income taxes payable decreased by $6,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
1996, due to the timing of tax payments.
 
    Certain components of stockholders' equity increased during the nine months
ended March 31, 1996 as the

                                       12

 
result of employee stock options exercised, reduction of the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan debt and stock issued under the Management Recognition Plan.
Also, 13,250 shares of treasury stock were purchased at a cost of $253,000
during the nine month period ended March 31, 1996.

    The Bank's regulatory liquidity ratio was 19.16% at March 31, 1996 as
compared to 18.38% at June 30, 1995.  At March 31, 1996 the Bank met all the
fully phased-in regulatory capital requirements under FIRREA. Tangible, core and
risk-based capital ratios were 10.5%, 10.5% and 23.5% respectively at March 31,
1996 as compared to 10.8%, 10.8% and 24.2% at June 30, 1995.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

    Net earnings decreased by $91,000 to $210,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 from $301,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The
primary reasons for the decrease were a $77,000 decrease in net interest income
and a $72,000 increase in non-interest expense offset by a $1,000 decrease in
provision for loan losses, $5,000 increase in non-interest income and a $52,000
decrease in income tax expense.

    Net interest income decreased by $77,000 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 1995.
Interest income increased during the quarter as the result of the increase in
interest-earning assets, but it was not sufficient to offset the increased cost
of CDs.  The decline in the Bank's net interest margin was partially due to it's
negative gap position with much of the effect mitigated by higher loan volume.

    Interest on loans increased by $162,000 to $1.948 million for the three 
month period ended March 31,  1996 as compared to $1.786 million for the three
month period ended March 31, 1995.  This increase is mainly attributable to a 
higher weighted average balance of loans receivable outstanding.

    Interest on MBSs decreased by $28,000 to $313,000 during the three month
period ended March 31, 1996 from $341,000 for the three month period ended March
31, 1995,  primarily due to a lower weighted average balance.

    Interest on investment securities decreased by $33,000 to $278,000 for the
three month period ended March 31, 1996 from $311,000 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1995.  This decrease was primarily due to decreased volume and
lower rates on new purchases.

    Interest on other interest-earning bearing assets increased by $38,000 to
$57,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 from $19,000 for the
three month period ended March 31, 1995 due to a higher level of interest-
bearing cash balances.

    Interest on deposits increased by $336,000 to $1.497 million for the three
month period ended March 31, 1996 from $1.161 million for the three month period
ended March 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.  In addition, the Bank aggressively priced its CDs as a result of
entering the New Tazewell market, thus reflecting a higher interest cost than
the Bank has traditionally incurred.

    Interest on borrowed funds decreased by $120,000 to $37,000 for the three
month period ended March 31, 1996 from $157,000 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1995 due to lower levels of borrowing.

    Provision for loan losses was $6,000 for the three month period ended March
31, 1996 as compared to $7,000 for the three month period ended March 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

                                       13

 
rates, and current economic conditions.  The Bank's allowance for loan losses as
a percent of total loans at March 31, 1996 was .70%.

    The Banks non-interest income increased by $5,000 to $89,000 for the three
month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $84,000 for the same period in
1995.  The increase was attributable to several categories of non-interest
income with no significant changes in any single classification.

    Non-interest expense increased by $72,000 to $826,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $754,000 for the same period in 1995.
Compensation and benefits increased by $56,000 to $408,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $352,000 for the same period in 1995.
This increase is due to higher wages and additional personnel, primarily
attributable to the establishment of the Bank's new branch office in New
Tazewell, Tennessee.

    Occupancy expense increased by $4,000 to $41,000 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1996 compared to $37,000 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 $22,000 to $104,000 for
the three month period ended March 31, 1996 from $82,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1995 primarily due to increased data processing fees and
depreciation expense identifiable with the New Tazewell branch.
 
    SAIF deposit insurance premiums increased by $5,000 to $66,000 for the three
month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the three month period ended
March 31, 1995.  Other expense decreased by $15,000 to $125,000 for three the
month period ended March 31, 1996 from $140,000 for the three month period ended
March 31, 1995 as the result of small reductions in several expense categories.

    Income taxes decreased by $52,000 to $109,000 for the three month period
ended March 31, 1996 compared to $162,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1995 due to lower earnings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

    Net earnings decreased by $398,000 to $617,000 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1996 from $1.015 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1995.
The primary reasons for the decrease were a $347,000 decrease in net interest
income and a $303,000 increase in non-interest expense offset by a $30,000
increase in non-interest income and a $222,000 decrease in income tax expense.

    Net interest income decreased by $347,000 for the nine month period ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to the nine month period ended March 31, 1995.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Bank's net interest margin declined
due to it's negative gap position , but much of the effect was mitigated as a
result of higher loan volume.  In addition, the Bank paid higher rates on CDs at
the New Tazewell branch as a means to penetrate this new market.

    Interest on loans increased by $592,000 to $5.704 million for the nine month
period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $5.112 million for the nine month
period ended March 31, 1995.  This increase is mainly attributable to a higher
volume of loans receivable outstanding.

    Interest on MBSs  decreased by $149,000 to $935,000 during the nine month
period ended March 31, 1996 from $1.084 million for the nine month period ended
March 31, 1995 primarily due to a lower weighted average balance.

    Interest on investment securities decreased by $58,000 to $809,000 for the
nine month period ended March

                                       14

 
31, 1996 from $867,000 for the nine month period ended March 31, 1995.  This
decrease was primarily due to decreased volume and lower yields on new
purchases.

    Interest on other interest-earning assets increased by $66,000 to $139,000
for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996 from $73,000 for the nine month
period ended March 31, 1995 due to a higher level of interest-bearing cash
balances.

    Interest on deposits increased by $1.046 million to $4.314 million for the
nine month period ended March 31, 1996 from $3.268 million for the nine month
period ended March 31, 1995 as a result of higher interest rates, 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 $248,000 to $132,000 for the nine
month period ended March 31, 1996 from $380,000 for the nine month period ended
March 31, 1995 due to lower levels of borrowing.

    Provision for loan losses remained unchanged at $25,000 for the nine month
period ended March 31, 1996 compared to the nine month period ended March 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.  The
Bank's allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans at March 31, 1996
was .70%.

    The Banks non-interest income increased by $30,000 to $260,000 for the nine
month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $230,000 for the same period in
1995.  Service charges on deposit accounts increased by $13,000 and a net loss
on the sale securities decreased by $13,000, 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 $303,000 to $2.428 million for the nine
month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $2.125 million for the same
period in 1995.  Compensation and benefits increased by $174,000 to $1.199
million for the nine month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $1.025
million for the same period in 1995.  This increase is due to higher wages and
additional personnel, primarily attributable to the establishment of the Bank's
new branch office in New Tazewell, Tennessee.

    Occupancy expense increased by $32,000 to $123,000 for the nine month period
ended March 31, 1996 compared to $91,000 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 $39,000 to $274,000 for
the nine month period ended March 31, 1996 from $235,000 for the nine month
period ended December 31,  1995 primarily due to increased data processing fees
and depreciation expense identifiable with the New Tazewell branch.
 
    Other expense increased by $50,000 to $419,000 for nine the month period
ended March 31, 1996 from $369,000 for the nine month period ended March 31,
1995.  The principal components of this increase were attributable to
advertising  expense, printing supplies and expenses associated with automated
teller machines brought into service during the period.

    Income taxes decreased by $222,000 to $330,000 for the nine month period
ended March 31, 1996 compared to $552,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
1995 due to lower earnings.
