LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Stockholder:
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Harrodsburg First Financial Bancorp,
Inc., I am proud to provide you with our 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders. The
Company's consolidated net income for our fourth full year as a public company
was over $1.5 million or $.94 per share. This compares with the prior year's
income of $.79 per share.
Total assets at September 30, 1999 were $110.4 million, deposits were $82
million, and our net loan balance was $89.1 million. Stockholders' equity
totaled $26.2 million or $16.67 per share, representing 23.7% of assets.
During fiscal year 1999, 222,643 shares of the Company's stock were repurchased
in open market transactions totaling $3.2 million. In December 1999, the Board
announced another repurchase plan of an additional 5% of the outstanding shares
of the Company, in an effort to improve liquidity in the market for our common
stock and increase the Company's earnings and book value per share.
Since coming to the Company and the Bank on October 1, 1999, I have spent much
of my time with the Board and staff doing strategic planning for the 21st
Century. As a result of that planning, the Bank will open the new millennium
with a new attitude and a new name. First Federal Savings will become First
Financial Bank. The new name more closely reflects that of our holding company
and better identifies us as a provider of a wide range of financial products.
At our upcoming Annual Meeting, I will share with you our plans and vision for
the coming months and years. You can expect to see First Financial broaden its
markets, through growth, acquisition, and new technologies, and become much more
aggressive in becoming the market leader in each community we serve. Our mission
is a simple one: To provide the very best service and financial products through
a network of locally managed community banks while assuring growth and income
for our shareholders.
Having served as Kentucky's Banking Commissioner for the past two years, I am
confident in the preparation the banking industry has made for Year 2000. As CEO
of Harrodsburg First Financial Bancorp, Inc., I want to reassure you that we are
ready for the calendar change. We have either upgraded or replaced every
component of our operating systems to bring them into Y2K compliance. Testing
has been successfully completed in all areas of the bank and contingency plans
are in place. We fully expect the transition to the Year 2000 to be uneventful
for our customers.
The directors, management, and staff of Harrodsburg First Financial Bancorp,
Inc. and First Financial Bank are proud of the confidence stockholders have
shown in our company. We are, however, in the banking business. If you are a
First Federal customer, thank you! If you are not currently banking with First
Federal, stop by or call me. I would like to show you why you should be doing
business with the bank you own.
Sincerely,
/s/ Art Freeman

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General
Harrodsburg First Financial Bancorp, Inc. ("Company") became publicly held on
September 29, 1995, when its wholly-owned subsidiary completed a conversion from
a federal mutual savings and loan association to a federal stock savings bank,
First Federal Savings Bank of Harrodsburg ("Bank"). The purpose of the
discussion that follows is to provide insight into the consolidated financial
condition and results of operations of Harrodsburg First Financial Bancorp, Inc.
and its subsidiary, First Federal Savings Bank of Harrodsburg.
The primary business of the Company is the operation of the Bank. The assets of
the Company consist of cash on deposit with the Bank, all of the Bank's
outstanding capital stock, and a note receivable from the Company's Employee
Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). Therefore, this discussion relates primarily to
the Bank.
Historically, the Bank has functioned as a financial intermediary, attracting
deposits from the general public and using such deposits, to make mortgage loans
and, to a lesser extent consumer loans and to purchase investment securities. As
such, its net earnings are dependent primarily on its net interest income, which
is the difference between interest income earned on its interest-earning assets
and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is
determined by (i) the difference between yields earned on interest-earning
assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (interest rate spread) and
(ii) the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities. The Bank's interest rate spread is affected by regulatory,
economic, and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand,
and deposit flows. To a lesser extent, the Bank's net earnings are also affected
by the level of non-interest income, which primarily consists of service charges
and other fees. In addition, net earnings are affected by the level of
non-interest (general and administrative) expenses.
The operations of the Bank and the entire thrift industry are significantly
affected by prevailing economic conditions, competition, and the monetary and
fiscal policies of the federal government and governmental agencies. Lending
activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing, competition
among lenders, the level of interest rates, and the availability of funds.
Deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates of
interest, competing investments, account maturities, and the levels of personal
income and savings in the Bank's market area.
The Bank's interest-earning assets have been historically concentrated in real
estate-collateralized instruments, principally single-family residential loans,
and to a lesser extent, loans secured by multi-family residential and commercial
properties, construction loans, home equity lines of credit, second mortgages on
single-family residences and consumer loans, both secured and unsecured,
including loans secured by savings accounts. The Bank also invests in
securities, primarily U.S. Government Treasury and Agency securities, and in
interest-earning deposits, primarily with the FHLB of Cincinnati. Its source of
funding for these investments has principally been deposits placed with the Bank
by consumers in the market areas it serves.
Asset/Liability Management
Quantitative Aspects of Market Risk. The Bank does not maintain a trading
account for any class of financial instrument. Further, it is not currently
subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk. The
stock in the FHLB of Cincinnati does not have equity price risk because it is
issued only to members and is redeemable for its $100 par value. The following
table illustrates quantitative sensitivity to interest rate risk for
4
financial instruments other than non-interest earning cash balances, FHLB stock
and demand deposit accounts for the Bank as of September 30, 1999.

Qualitative Aspects of Market Risk. Net interest income, the primary component
of the Bank's net earnings, is derived from the difference between the yield on
interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. One of the
Bank's principal financial objectives is to achieve long-term profitability
while reducing its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Bank has
sought to reduce exposure of its earnings to changes in market interest rates by
managing the mismatch between asset and liability maturities and interest rates.
An asset or liability is interest rate sensitive within a specific time period
if it will mature or reprice within that time period. If the Bank's assets
mature or reprice more quickly or to a greater extent than its liabilities, the
Bank's net portfolio value and net interest income would tend to increase during
periods of rising interest rates but decrease during periods of falling interest
rates. If the Bank's assets mature or reprice more slowly or to a lesser extent
than its liabilities, as is the case with most savings institutions, the Bank's
net portfolio value and net interest income would tend to decrease during
periods of rising interest rates but increase during periods of falling interest
rates. The Bank's policy has been to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in
the historical savings institution business of originating long-term loans
funded by short-term deposits by pursuing certain strategies designed to
decrease the vulnerability of its earnings to material and prolonged changes in
interest rates.
Management's principal strategy in managing the Bank's interest rate risk has
been to maintain short and intermediate-term assets in the portfolio, including
locally originated adjustable rate mortgage loans. The Bank does not actively
offer long-term fixed rate loans. All fixed rate loans that are offered are
secured by one to four-family owner-occupied dwellings for terms of up to 30
years. Likewise, the interest rate charged on the Bank's adjustable rate loans
typically reprice after one, three, or five years with maximum periodic interest
rate adjustment limits ("caps"). At September 30, 1999, the Bank had no
adjustable rate loans that reprice after five years from that date. In managing
its investment portfolio, the Bank seeks to purchase investments that mature on
a basis that approximates the estimated maturities of the Bank's liabilities.
5
In addition to shortening the average repricing of its assets, management has
attempted to lengthen the average maturity of its liabilities by adopting a
tiered pricing program for its certificates of deposit. The Bank offers market
rates of interest on its certificates of deposit, which are typically higher on
its longer term certificates, in order to encourage depositors to invest in
certificates with longer maturities.
There have been no significant changes in the Bank's primary market risk
exposures or methods for managing those exposures since September 30, 1999.
The Bank's future financial performance depends to a large extent on how
successful it is in limiting the sensitivity of earnings and net asset value to
changes in interest rates. Such sensitivity may be analyzed by examining the
amount by which the market value of the Bank's portfolio equity changes given an
immediate and sustained change in interest rates. Based on the latest
information available, the Bank's market value of portfolio equity at September
30, 1999 would decrease by $2.2 million or 7.8% given a 200 basis point
immediate and sustained increase in interest rates.
Average Balances, Interest, and Average Yields
Net interest income is affected by (i) the difference ("interest rate spread")
between rates of interest earned on interest-earning assets and rates of
interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities and (ii) the relative amounts of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. When interest-earning
assets approximate or exceed interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest
rate spread will generate net interest income. Savings institutions have
traditionally used interest rate spreads as a measure of net interest income.
Certificates of deposit constitute approximately 79% of the Bank's total
deposits and generally pay higher rates of interest than core deposits. The
Bank's emphasis on certificates of deposits may result in a higher average cost
of deposits which may adversely affect the Bank's interest rate spread. Another
indication of an institution's net interest income is its "net yield on
interest-earning assets" which is net interest income divided by average
interest-earning assets. The following table sets forth certain information
relating to the Bank's average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of
liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by
dividing income or expense by the average monthly balance of assets or
liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. During the periods
indicated, nonaccruing loans are included in the net loan category. Average
balances are derived from month-end average balances. Management does not
believe that the use of month-end average balances instead of average daily
balances has caused any material difference in the information presented.

The net interest margin is a key measure in determining the Bank's income
performance. The Bank's net interest margin was 3.63% for the years ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998. Net interest income increased $51,000 or 1.3% for
the year ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998.
Interest expense decreased $84,000 or 2.2% while interest income decreased
$33,000 or .4% for the 1999 period compared to the 1998 period.
The Bank's net interest margin was 3.63% for the year ended September 30, 1998
compared to 3.64% for the same period in 1997. Net interest income increased
$17,000 or .4% for the year ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same
period in 1997. Interest income increased $79,000 or 1.0% while interest expense
increased $62,000 or 1.6% for the 1998 period compared to the 1997 period.
Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table below sets forth certain information regarding changes in
interest income and interest expense of the Bank for the periods indicated. For
each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities,
information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume
(changes in average volume multiplied by old rate); (ii) changes in rates
(changes in rate multiplied by old average volume); (iii) changes in rate-volume
(changes in rate multiplied by the change in average volume). Average balances
are derived from month-end balances. Management does not believe that the use of
month-end balances instead of average daily balances has caused any material
difference in the information presented.

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to historical information contained herein, the following discussion
contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties.
Economic circumstances, the Company's operations, and the Company's actual
results could differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking
statements. Some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences are discussed herein, but also include changes in the economy and
interest rates in the nation and the Company's market area generally.
COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998
Net Income. Net income increased by $79,000, or 5.58% to $1,508,000 for the year
ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $1,429,000 for the year ended September
30, 1998. The net increase was due to an increase in net interest income of
$51,000, a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $61,000, and a decrease
in income tax expense of $23,000 offset by a decrease of $7,000 in non-interest
income and an increase of $49,000 in non-interest expense.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the year ended September 30, 1999
was $3.9 million. The increase in net interest income in fiscal 1999 compared to
1998 of $51,000 was due to a decrease in interest expense of $84,000 offset by a
decrease in interest income of $33,000. Interest income in 1999 was $7.7 million
with an average yield of 7.14% compared to $7.8 million with an average yield of
7.27% in 1998. The decrease in interest expense of $84,000 was primarily due to
the decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities. The
average balance of interest bearing liabilities in 1999 was $81.0 million with
an average cost of funds of 4.71% compared to average balances of interest
bearing liabilities in 1998 of $78.4 million with an average cost of funds of
4.97%.
Interest Income. Interest income was $7.7 million, or 7.14% of average
interest-earning assets, for the year ended September 30, 1999 as compared to
$7.8 million, or 7.27% of average interest-earning assets, for the year ended
September 30, 1998. Interest income decreased $33,000 or .4% from 1999 to 1998.
The decrease was due to a decline of 13 basis points in the rate earned on the
average balance of interest earning assets offset by an increase of $1.5 million
in the average balance of interest earning assets.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $3.8 million, or 4.71% of average
interest-bearing liabilities, for the year ended September 30, 1999 as compared
to $3.9 million, or 4.97% of average interest-bearing liabilities, for the
corresponding period in 1998. The decrease in interest expense of $84,000 was
the result of a 26 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on the deposits
offset by the increase of $2.6 million in the average balance of interest
bearing deposits for the year ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same
period in 1998.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $35,000 and $96,000
for the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Management
considers many factors in determining the necessary levels 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 September 30, 1999 and 1998
the allowance for loan losses represented .41% and .38% of total loans,
respectively.
10
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income amounted to $116,000 and $123,000 for
the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The largest item in
non-interest income is service fees on loan and deposit accounts, which amounted
to $99,000 for 1999 and 1998.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased approximately $49,000, or
2.93%, to $1.7 million for the year ended September 30, 1999. Non-interest
expense was 1.6% and 1.5% of average assets for the years ended September 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase of $49,000 was primarily due to an
increase of $15,000 in data processing expenses, $6,000 in franchise tax, and
$28,000 in other operating expenses. The increase of $15,000 in data processing
expenses is due to increased services from the provider related to Y2K changes
and item processing. The increase of $28,000 in other operating expenses was due
to increases in advertising, transfer agent fees, ATM expense and accounting
fees.
Income Tax Expense. The provision for income tax expense amounted to
approximately $777,000 and $800,000 for the years ended September 30, 1999 and
1998, respectively. The provision for income tax expense as a percentage of
income before income tax expenses amounted to 34.0% and 35.9% for 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997
Net Income. Net income decreased by $47,000, or 3.18% to $1,429,000 for the year
ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $1,476,000 for the year ended September
30, 1997. The net decrease was due to an increase in net interest income of
$17,000 an increase in non-interest income of $27,000, and a decrease in
non-interest expense of $22,000 offset by an increase in the provision for loan
losses of $85,000, and an increase in income tax expense of $28,000.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the year ended September 30, 1998
was $3.9 million. The increase in net interest income in fiscal 1998 compared to
1997 of $17,000 was due to an increase in interest income of $79,000 offset by
an increase in interest expense of $62,000. Interest income in 1998 was $7.8
million with an average yield of 7.27% compared to $7.7 million with an average
yield of 7.25% in 1997. The increase in interest expense of $62,000 was
primarily due to the increase in the average balance in interest bearing
liabilities. The average balance of interest bearing liabilities in 1998 was
$78.4 million with an average cost of funds of 4.97% compared to average
balances of interest bearing liabilities in 1997 of $77.8 million with an
average cost of funds of 4.93%.
Interest Income. Interest income was $7.8 million, or 7.27% of average
interest-earning assets, for the year ended September 30, 1998 as compared to
$7.7 million, or 7.25% of average interest-earning assets, for the year ended
September 30, 1997. Interest income increased $79,000 or 1.03% from 1997 to
1998. The increase was primarily due to management maintaining a higher average
balance of loans receivable, which has a higher average yield during the year
ended September 30, 1998 compared to the year ended September 30, 1997.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $3.9 million, or 4.97% of average
interest-bearing liabilities, for the year ended September 30, 1998 as compared
to $3.8 million, or 4.93% of average interest-bearing liabilities, for the
corresponding period in 1997. The increase in interest expense of $62,000 was
the result of a 4 basis point increase in the average rate paid on the deposits
plus the increase of $591,000 in the average balance of interest bearing
deposits for the year ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period in
1997.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $96,000 and $11,000
for the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Management
considers many factors in determining the necessary levels of the
11
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 September 30, 1998 and
1997 the allowance for loan losses represented .38% of total loans.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income amounted to $122,000 and $95,000 for
the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The largest item in
non-interest income is service fees on loan and deposit accounts, which amounted
to $99,000 and $75,000 for 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased approximately $22,000, or
1.29%, to $1.7 million for the year ended September 30, 1998. Non-interest
expense was 1.5% and 1.6% of average assets for the years ended September 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease of $22,000 was due to a decrease of
$27,000 in federal and other insurance premiums, a decrease of $22,000 in
franchise tax, and a decrease of $25,000 in other operating expenses offset by
an increase of $29,000 in compensation and benefits, an increase of $9,000 in
occupancy expenses plus an increase of $14,000 in data processing expenses. The
decrease of $27,000 in federal and other insurance premiums is due to savings in
1998 resulting from the reduction of the insurance assessment rate on the Bank's
deposits as a result of the recapitalization of SAIF. The decrease of $25,000 in
other operating expenses was primarily due to decrease in legal expense of the
Company. The increase of $29,000 in compensation and benefits resulted from a
$9,000 increase related to benefits earned in the employee stock option plan and
normal salary increases and related benefits of $20,000.
Income Tax Expense. The provision for income tax expense amounted to
approximately $800,000 and $772,000 for the years ended September 30, 1998 and
1997, respectively. The provision for income tax expense as a percentage of
income before income tax expenses amounted to 35.9% and 34.3% for 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998
The Company's consolidated assets increased $497,000, or .45%, to $110.4 million
at September 30, 1999 compared to $109.9 million at September 30, 1998. Cash and
cash equivalents increased $276,000, securities available-for-sale increased
$183,000, securities held-to-maturity decreased $3.9 million, loans increased
$3.8 million, and other non-interest earning assets increased by $157,000.
Securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at market value in
accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities." Securities available-for-sale increased $183,000 due to the
increase in fair value of such securities. Securities held-to-maturity decreased
$3.9 million due to the call of thirteen debt securities backed by a U.S.
Government Agency offset by the purchase of five debt securities backed by a
U.S. Government Agency.
Loans receivable increased $3.8 million or 4.4% to $89.1 million at September
30, 1999 from $85.3 million at September 30, 1998. The increase in loans during
the year ended September 30, 1999 is the result of management becoming more
active in loan solicitation.
Liabilities of the Company increased $3.3 million, or 4.0%, to $84.2 million at
September 30, 1999 compared to $80.9 million at September 30, 1998. The increase
in liabilities was primarily due to the increase in deposits of $3.0 million,
reflecting management's success in attracting depositors within the local market
area.
Stockholder's equity was $26.2 million at September 30, 1999 and decreased
approximately $2.8 million from the balance at September 30, 1998. The decrease
was due to the repurchase of common stock totaling $3.2 million plus the
declaration of dividends totaling $1.3 million offset by net income of $1.5
million, an increase of $121,000 in
12
the net unrealized appreciation on securities available-for-sale, plus an
increase of $154,000 due to ESOP shares released from collateral in 1998.
Year 2000 Readiness
The financial industry is one of the largest industries impacted by the year
2000 issue. However, this is not a new problem. This issue was first faced years
ago when financial institutions began issuing mortgage loans for 25-30 years,
which caused the maturity date to fall in year 2000 or beyond. So, this is not a
new issue for financial institutions.
The following discussion of the implications of the Year 2000 problem for the
Bank contains numerous forward looking statements based on inherently uncertain
information. The cost of the project and the date on which the Bank plans to
complete the internal Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best
estimates, which are derived utilizing a number of assumptions of future events
including the continued availability of internal and external resources, third
party modifications, and other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that
these statements will be achieved, and actual results could differ. Moreover,
although management believes it will be able to make the necessary modifications
in advance, there can be no guarantee that failure to modify the systems would
not have a material adverse effect on the Bank.
The Bank places a high degree of reliance on computer systems of third parties,
such as customers, suppliers, and other financial and governmental institutions.
Although the Bank is assessing the readiness of these third parties and
preparing contingency plans, there can be no guarantee that the failure of these
third parties to modify their systems in advance of December 31, 1999 would not
have a material adverse affect on the Bank.
Harrodsburg First Financial Bancorp, Inc. has fully completed the Awareness
Phase, Assessment Phase, and Renovation Phase of its Year 2000 Compliance Plan.
All mission critical systems have been identified, and all systems requiring
replacement have been replaced. The Bank's entire computer system has been
replaced with Y2K compliant hardware and software and is already in use; thus,
completing the Implementation Phase. All testing, including the Contingency
Plan, has been successfully completed.
The Bank's service provider, INTRIEVE, Inc., continues to actively pursue every
avenue required to insure their Y2K compliance and continues to be monitored by
the Bank's regulatory agency, the Office of Thrift Supervision. INTRIEVE, Inc.
is keeping their customers informed as to their state of readiness.
Total expenses related to Year 2000 compliance are estimated at approximately
$187,000. Expenses consist of the cost of replacement hardware and software,
consulting fees, and labor. Expenses to date are approximately $183,000. The
balance of expenses are estimated at $2,000 for 1999, of which consists of
consulting fees and labor, with the remaining expense of $2,000 in the year 2000
for consulting fees and labor.
The major component of risk to the Bank lies with its service provider,
INTRIEVE, Inc. Should INTRIEVE, Inc. not become fully Y2K compliant, it would be
necessary for the Bank to revert to manual processing of customer accounts.
Though this would be a labor-intensive process, it would be possible to operate
in such a manner for a reasonable period of time. The Bank does not anticipate
any risk associated with environmental systems, such as heating/air
conditioning, phone systems, or utilities, as it has been assured that all
systems are Y2K compliant. The Bank is relying on the utility companies internal
testing and representations to provide the required services as drives the
Bank's data systems. Any failure of the utilities to address the Year 2000
issues could result in the Bank being unable to service its customers on a
timely basis. However, as Harrodsburg First Financial Bancorp, Inc. does not
control all software it uses or interfaces to, it is possible that errors may be
undetected should other parties fail to ensure their systems are year 2000
compliant.
13
The Bank has adopted a Contingency Plan to be used in the event on-line
processing with INTRIEVE, Inc., the Bank's service provider, is not operational
due to the rollover of the date from December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000. The
plan, if needed, will be implemented by the Year 2000 Steering Team as
designated in the Bank's Year 2000 Compliance Plan approved by the Board of
Directors.
Despite the best efforts of management to address this issue, the vast number of
external entities that have direct and indirect business relationships with the
Company, such as customers, vendors, payment system providers, and other
financial institutions, makes it impossible to assure that a failure to achieve
compliance by one or more of these entities would not have material adverse
impact on the operations of the Bank.
Regulatory Capital
The OTS imposes regulations which provide that the savings institutions must
maintain certain levels of capital. Specifically, the regulations provide that
savings institutions must maintain core capital equal to 4% of adjusted total
assets and a combination of core and supplementary capital equal to 8% of risk
weighted assets.
The following summarizes the Bank's regulatory capital requirements and position
at September 30, 1999 and 1998:
1999 1998
------------------ -----------------
(Dollars in Thousands)
Amount Percent Amount Percent
--------- ------- -------- -------
Core capital..................................... $ 22,556 21.2 $ 24,912 23.5

--------- ------- -------- -------
Excess........................................... $ 17,945 28.9 $ 20,635 35.8
========= ======= ======== =======
Liquidity
The liquidity of the Company depends primarily on the dividends paid to it as
the sole shareholder of the Bank. The payment of cash dividends by the Bank on
its common stock is limited by regulations of the OTS, which are tied to the
Bank's level of compliance with its regulatory capital requirements.
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 September 30, 1999, 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 fiscal
years ended September 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997.
14
The Bank's most liquid assets are cash and cash-equivalents, which include
investments in highly liquid, short-term investments. At September 30, 1999 and
1998, cash and cash equivalents totaled $8.4 million and $8.1 million,
respectively.
At September 30, 1999, the Bank had $48.3 million in certificates of deposits
due within one year and $13.2 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 or borrowings. At September 30,
1999, the Bank had $1.5 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 deposits
subject to withdrawal. The minimum level of liquidity required by regulation is
presently 4.0%. The Bank's liquidity ratio at September 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997
was 23.21%, 27.34%, and 32.2%, respectively.
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.
Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Reporting of Comprehensive Income. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
Reporting of Comprehensive Income ("SFAS 130"), which establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues,
expenses, gains, and losses) in a full set of financial statements. This
statement also requires that all items that are required to be recognized under
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a
financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements.
This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Earlier application is permitted. Reclassification of financial statements for
earlier periods provided for comparative purposes is required. The Company
adopted SFAS 130 during fiscal year 1999 without a material effect on the
Company.
Disclosure about Segments and Related Information. In June 1997, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
("SFAS 131"), which establishes standards for the way that public business
enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about
operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. This
statement also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and
services, geographic areas, and major customers. This statement requires the
reporting of financial and descriptive information about an enterprise's
reportable operating segments.
This statement is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997. In the initial year of application, comparative information
for earlier years is to be restated. The Company adopted SFAS 131 during fiscal
year 1999, and there was no material effect on the Company's financial position
or operating results.
15
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. In June 1998, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," which requires entities to recognize all derivatives in their
financial statements as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value.
SFAS No. 133 also specifies new methods of accounting for hedging transactions,
prescribes the items and transactions that may be hedged, and specifies detailed
criteria to be met to qualify for hedge accounting.
The definition of a derivative financial instrument is complex, but in general,
it is an instrument with one or more underlyings, such as an interest rate of
foreign exchange rate, that is applied to a notional amount, such as an amount
of currency, to determine the settlement amounts. It generally requires no
significant initial investment and can be settled net or by delivery of an asset
that is readily convertible to cash. SFAS No. 133 applies to derivatives
embedded in other contracts, unless the underlying of the embedded derivative is
clearly and closely related to the host contract.
SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. On adoption, entities are permitted to transfer
held-to-maturity debt securities to the available-for-sale or trading category
without calling into question their intent to hold other debt securities to
maturity in the future. SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a material impact
on the Company's financial statements.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
On September 29, 1995, Harrodsburg First Financial Bancorp, Inc. sold
through a public offering 2,182,125 shares of common stock at a price of
$10 per share in connection with the conversion of Harrodsburg First
Federal Savings and Loan Association from a federally chartered mutual
savings and loan association to a federally chartered stock savings bank,
and the simultaneous formation of a savings and loan holding company. In
the conversion, Harrodsburg First Federal Savings and Loan Association
changed its name to First Federal Savings Bank of Harrodsburg (Bank).
The Company's articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to
500,000 shares of preferred stock, which may be issued with certain rights
and preferences. As of September 30, 1999, no preferred stock has been
issued.
The Company is a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware. The
Company is a savings and loan holding company whose activities are
primarily limited to holding the stock of the Bank. The Bank is a federally
chartered stock savings bank and a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank
System. As a member of this system, the Bank is required to maintain an
investment in capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati
(FHLB) in an amount equal to at least the greater of 1% of its outstanding
loan and mortgage-backed securities or .3% of total assets as of December
31 of each year.
The Bank conducts a general banking business in central Kentucky which
primarily consists of attracting deposits from the general public and
applying those funds to the origination of loans for residential, consumer,
and nonresidential purposes. The Bank's profitability is significantly
dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between interest
income generated from interest-earning assets (i.e. loans and investments)
and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities (i.e.
customer deposits and borrowed funds). Net interest income is affected by
the relative amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities and the interest received or paid on these balances. The level
of interest rates paid or received by the Bank can be significantly
influenced by a number of environmental factors, such as governmental
monetary policy, that are outside of management's control.
The consolidated financial information presented herein has been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and
general accounting practices within the financial services industry. In
preparing consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
such estimates.

HARRODSBURG FIRST FINANCIAL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------
The following is a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies
which have been consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company, the Bank, and the Bank's wholly owned
subsidiary, Harrodsburg Savings & Loan Service Corporation. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Loan Origination Fees. The Bank accounts for loan origination fees in
accordance with SFAS No. 91 "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs
Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Cost of
Leases." Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 91, origination fees
received from loans, net of direct origination costs, are deferred and
amortized to interest income using the level-yield method, giving effect to
actual loan prepayments. Additionally, SFAS No. 91 generally limits the
definition of loan origination costs to the direct costs attributable to
originating a loan, i.e., principally actual personnel costs. Fees received
for loan commitments that are expected to be drawn upon, based on the
Bank's experience with similar commitments, are deferred and amortized over
the life of the loan using the level-yield method. Fees for other loan
commitments are deferred and amortized over the loan commitment period on a
straight-line basis.
Investment Securities. Investment securities that management has the intent
and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity, and
carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of
discount over the term of the security, using the level yield method.
Included in this category of investments is the FHLB stock which is a
restricted stock carried at cost. Securities available-for-sale are carried
at market value. Adjustments from amortized cost to market value are
recorded in stockholders' equity net of deferred income tax until realized.
The identified security method is used to determine gains or losses on
sales of securities.
Regulations require the Bank to maintain an amount of cash and U.S.
government and other approved securities equal to a prescribed percentage
(4% at September 30, 1999 and 1998) of deposit accounts (net of loans
secured by deposits) plus short-term borrowings. At September 30, 1999 and
1998, the Bank met these requirements.
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Stock. On December 6, 1984, the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation created a new class of participating
preferred stock. The preferred stock was distributed to the twelve district
banks of the Federal Home Loan Banking System for subsequent distribution
to their member institutions. The Bank received 1,606 shares of the stock
and recorded it at its fair value of $40 per share as of December 31, 1984.
The fair value of the stock recognized as of December 1984 became its cost.
The stock has been subsequently classified as available-for-sale and
carried at market value.
Office Properties and Equipment. Office properties and equipment are stated
at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the
straight line method and the double declining balance method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets. The gain or loss on the sales
of property and equipment is recorded in the year of disposition.
(continued)
24
HARRODSBURG FIRST FINANCIAL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------
Real Estate Owned. Real estate owned is generally comprised of property
acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Foreclosed
real estate is initially recorded at fair value, net of selling expenses,
establishing a new cost basis. Expenses relating to holding property,
including interest expense, are not capitalized. These expenses are charged
to operations as incurred. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically
performed by management, and the real estate is carried at the lower of
carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling expenses.
Loans Receivable. Loans receivable are stated at the principal amount
outstanding less the allowance for loan losses and net deferred loan fees.
The Bank has adequate liquidity and capital, and it is generally
management's intention to hold such assets to maturity.
The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and
decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Management's periodic
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank's past
loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse
situations that may affect the borrower's ability to pay, estimated value
of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. While
management uses the best information available, future adjustments may be
necessary if conditions differ substantially from assumptions used in
management's evaluation. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an
integral part of their examination process, periodically review the
allowance for loan losses and may require additions to the allowances based
on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their
examination.
Interest earned on loans receivable is recorded in the period earned.
Uncollectible interest on loans that are contractually past due is charged
off or an allowance is established based on management's periodic
evaluation. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income
equal to all interest previously accrued, and income is subsequently
recognized only to the extent cash payments are received until, in
management's judgment, the borrower's ability to make periodic interest and
principal payments is back to normal, in which case the loan is returned to
accrual status.
The Bank accounts for the impairment of a loan in accordance with SFAS No.
114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS
No. 118 as to certain income recognition and disclosure provisions. These
accounting standards require that impaired loans be measured based upon the
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate, or as an alternative, at the loan's observable
market price or fair value of the collateral. The Bank's current procedures
for evaluating impaired loans result in carrying such loans at the lower of
cost or fair value.
A loan is defined under SFAS No. 114 as impaired when, based on current
information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to
collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. In applying the provisions of SFAS No. 114, the Bank considers
its investment in one-to-four family residential loans and consumer
installment loans to be homogenous and therefore excluded from separate
identification for evaluation of impairment. With respect to the Bank's
investment in impaired multi-family and nonresidential loans, such loans
are collateral dependent, and as a result, are carried as a practical
expedient at the lower of cost or fair value.
(continued)
25
HARRODSBURG FIRST FINANCIAL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------
Collateral dependent loans when put in non-accrual status are considered to
constitute more than a minimum delay in repayment and are evaluated for
impairment under SFAS No. 114 at that time.
Deposits. The Bank's deposits are insured by the Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which is administered by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for federal income taxes in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS
No. 109 established financial accounting and reporting standards for the
effects of income taxes that result from the Company's activities within
the current and previous years. Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 109,
a deferred tax liability or deferred tax asset is computed by applying the
current statutory tax rates to net taxable or deductible differences
between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in
the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts
in future periods. Deferred tax assets are recorded only to the extent that
the amount of net deductible temporary differences or carryforward
attributes may be utilized against current period earnings, carried back
against prior years earnings, offset against taxable temporary differences
reversing in future periods, or utilized to the extent of management's
estimate of future taxable income. A valuation allowance is provided for
deferred tax assets to the extent that the value of net deductible
temporary differences and carryforward attributes exceeds management's
estimates of taxes payable on future taxable income. Deferred tax
liabilities are provided on the total amount of net temporary differences
taxable in the future.
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with the Bank.
The current income tax expense or benefit is allocated to each Corporation
included in the consolidated tax return based on their tax expense or
benefit computed on a separate return basis.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Shares of common stock issued to the
Company's employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) are initially recorded as
unearned ESOP shares in the stockholders' equity at the fair value of the
shares at the date of the issuance of the plan. As shares are committed to
be released as compensation to employees, the Company reduces the carrying
value of the unearned shares and records compensation expense equal to the
current value of the shares.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of reporting consolidated cash
flows, the Bank considers cash, balances with banks, and interest bearing
deposits in other financial institutions with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Earnings Per Share. Earnings per common share is computed by dividing
income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Earnings per common share
assuming dilution reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock,
that then shared in the earnings of the company.
Comprehensive Income. The Corporation adopted SFAS 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income, as of October 1, 1998. Accounting principles
generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be
included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities,
such
(Continued)

--------------------------------
as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are
reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance
sheet, such items, along with net income are components of comprehensive
income. The adoption of SFAS 130 had no effect on the Corporation's net
income or shareholder's equity. The components of other comprehensive
income is presented in the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity.
Reclassification. Certain presentations of accounts previously reported
have been reclassified in these consolidated financial statements. Such
reclassifications had no effect on net income or retained income as
previously reported.

of Harrodsburg, Kentucky. Therefore, a substantial portion of its
debtors' ability to honor their contracts is dependent on the economy
of this area.
The Bank provides an allowance to the extent considered necessary to
provide for losses that may be incurred upon the ultimate realization
of loans. The changes in the allowance on loan losses is analyzed as
follows:

Effective for tax years ending December 31, 1996 or after, fiscal year
September 30, 1997 for the Bank, all thrift institutions are taxed as other
banking institutions. Institutions under $500 million in assets are allowed
to use the reserve method of determining their bad debt deduction based on
their actual experience, while larger institutions (over $500 million) must
use the specific charge off method in determining their deduction. Tax bad
debt reserves accumulated since September 30, 1988 must be included in
taxable income of the Bank prorated over a six year period, beginning in
the tax year effected by the change. This change did not have a material
impact on the Bank as a deferred tax liability was provided for these
accumulated reserves. The accumulated tax bad debt reserves as of September
30, 1988, which amounts to approximately $2,134,000 is only subject to
being taxed at a later date under certain circumstances, such as the Bank
converting to a type of institution that is not considered a bank for tax
purposes. These financial statements do not include any deferred tax
liability related to the accumulated tax bad debt reserves as of September
30, 1988.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA") required each federal banking agency to implement prompt
corrective actions for institutions that it regulates. In response to this
requirement, OTS adopted final rules based upon FDICIA's five capital
tiers. The rules
(Continued)
33
HARRODSBURG FIRST FINANCIAL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------
provide that a savings bank is "well capitalized" if its total risk-based
capital ratio is 10% or greater, its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio is 6%
or greater, its leverage is 5% or greater and the institution is not
subject to a capital directive. Under this regulation, the Bank was deemed
to be "well capitalized" as of September 30, 1999 and 1998 based upon the
most recent notifications from its regulators. There are no conditions or
events since those notifications that management believes would change its
classifications.
Retained Earnings Restriction. Retained earnings at September 30, 1998
includes tax bad debt reserves of approximately $2,134,000 accumulated
prior to September 30, 1988, for which no Federal income tax has been
provided. These tax bad debt reserves are only taxable in certain
circumstances, such as if the Bank converted to an institution that did not
qualify as a bank for tax purposes (see Note 6).
Liquidation Account. Upon conversion to a capital stock savings bank,
eligible account holders who continued to maintain their deposit accounts
in the Bank were granted priority in the event of the future liquidation of
the Bank through the establishment of a special "Liquidation Account" in an
amount equal to the consolidated net worth of the Bank at March 31, 1995.
The liquidation account was $10,236,488 at March 31, 1995 and is reduced in
proportion to reductions in the balance of eligible account holders as
determined on each subsequent fiscal year end. The existence of the
liquidation account will not restrict the use or application of net worth
except with respect to the cash payment of dividends. The Bank may not
declare or pay a cash dividend on or repurchase any of its common stock if
the effect thereof would cause its regulatory capital to be reduced below
the amount required for the liquidation account.
Dividend Restrictions. The payment of cash dividends by the Bank on its
Common Stock is limited by regulations of the OTS. Interest on savings
accounts will be paid prior to payments of dividends on common stock.
Additional limitation on dividends declared or paid, or repurchases of the
Bank stock are tied to the Bank's level of compliance with its regulatory
capital requirements.
8. Retirement Benefits
Retirement Benefits. The Bank maintained a noncontributory defined benefit
pension plan (Pension Trust) for the year ended September 30, 1993, which
covered all full-time employees with one year of service who had attained
the age of 21. Effective October 1, 1993, the Bank's Board of Directors
terminated the Pension Trust, and effective the same date approved the
Bank's participation in the Pentegra Retirement Fund ("Pentegra"), a
multi-employer defined benefit retirement plan. Net assets of the Pension
Trust were transferred to the Pentegra Plan on October 1, 1993.
The multi-employer pension plan covers all full-time employees with one
year of service who have attained the age of 21. Under a multi-employer
defined benefit plan, pension expense is the amount of the annual required
contribution, and a liability will be recognized only for contributions
which are due but unpaid at the end of the accounting period. There was no
pension expense for the years ended September 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997.

Effective April 1, 1993, the Board of Directors adopted an employee pension
benefit plan (referred to as a "401K Plan") as described under the
Employees' Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Under the Plan, the Bank
is required to match 25% of employee contributions up to a maximum of 1.5%
of eligible compensation. The Plan covers all full-time employees. The Bank
contributed $9,428, $8,614, and $7,440 to the Plan for the years ended
September 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan. In connection with the stock conversion
September 30, 1995, the Company established an internally leveraged
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") which covers substantially all
full time employees. The ESOP borrowed $1,745,700 from the Company and
purchased 174,570 shares of common stock of the Company at the date of
conversion. The loan is to be repaid in annual installments over a 15 year
period with interest, which is based on the published prime rate (currently
8.50%) per the Wall Street Journal.
The Bank makes annual contributions to the ESOP Trust equal to the ESOP's
debt service requirement less dividends, if any, received by the ESOP which
are used for debt service. Dividends of $111,312 and $120,671 were used in
fiscal year 1999 and 1998, respectively, to pay ESOP debt service. The ESOP
shares are pledged as collateral on the debt. As the debt is repaid, shares
are released from collateral and allocated to active participants based on
a formula specified in the ESOP agreement.
ESOP compensation was $154,109 for the year ended September 30, 1999. For
1999, 11,407 shares were released from collateral. At September 30, 1999,
there were 127,733 unallocated ESOP shares having a fair value of
$1,692,462. ESOP compensation was $198,430 for the year ended September 30,
1998. For 1998, 12,154 shares were released from collateral. At September
30, 1998, there were 139,140 unallocated ESOP shares having a fair value of
$2,104,493. ESOP compensation was $192,027 for the year ended September 30,
1997. For 1997, 11,638 shares were released from collateral. At September
30, 1997, there were 151,294 unallocated ESOP shares having a fair value of
$2,458,528.
Option Plan. On January 21, 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved
the establishment of the Harrodsburg First Financial Bancorp, Inc. 1996
Stock Option Plan. Under the Option Plan, the Company may grant either
incentive or non-qualified stock options to Directors and key employees for
an aggregate of 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock, with an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock at the date of
the award. Upon exercise of the options, the Company may issue stock out of
authorized shares or purchase the stock in the open market. The option to
purchase shares expires ten years after the date of the grant. Effective
with the approval of the Option Plan, options to purchase 190,000 shares of
common stock were awarded to key employees and directors with an exercise
price of $16.50 per share. The options vest, and thereby become
exercisable, at the rate of 20% on the date of grant, January 21, 1997, and
20% annually thereafter. The Options become vested immediately in the case
of death or disability, or upon a change in the control of the Company.

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which was effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The new standard
defines a fair value method of accounting for stock options and
similar equity instruments. Under the fair value method, compensation
cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the
award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the
vesting period.
Companies are not required to adopt the fair value method of
accounting for employee stock-based transactions, and may continue to
account for such transactions under Accounting Principles Based (APB)
Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under this
method the compensation cost is measured by the difference between the
fair value of the Company's stock at the date of the award, and the
exercise price to be paid by the employee. If a company chooses to
report stock based compensation under APB 25, they must disclose the
pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the Company had
applied the new method of accounting. Accordingly, the following table
shows the Company's net income and earnings per share on a pro forma
basis as if the compensation cost for the stock options awarded were
accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123 for the year ended
September 30, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

Employee Recognition Plan. On January 21, 1997, the stockholders of the
Company approved the establishment of the First Federal Savings Bank of
Harrodsburg Restricted Stock Plan (RSP). The objective of the RSP is to
enable the Bank to attract and retain personnel of experience and ability
in key positions of responsibility. Those eligible to receive benefits
under the RSP will be such employees as selected by members of a committee
appointed by the Company's Board of Directors. The RSP is a non-qualified
plan that is managed through a separate trust. The Bank can contribute
sufficient funds to the RSP Trust for the purchase of up to 85,000 shares
of common stock.
Awards made to employees will vest 20% on each anniversary date of the
award. Shares will be held by the trustee and are voted by the RSP trustee
as directed by the participant for those shares earned or by the Committee
for those shares held, but unearned or unawarded. Any assets of the trust
are subject to the general creditors of the Company. All shares awarded
vest immediately in the case of a participant's death, disability, or upon
a change in control of the Company. The Company intends to expense RSP
awards over the years during which the shares are payable, based on the
fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant to the
employee. As of September 30, 1998, no awards had been made under the RSP.
9. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of
Credit Risk
The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include mortgage commitments outstanding which
amounted to approximately $1,467,100 plus unused lines of credit granted to
customers totaling $2,479,469 at September 30, 1999. Of the mortgage loan
commitments at September 30, 1999 approximately $12,000 were for fixed rate
loans. At September 30, 1998 mortgage commitments outstanding amounted to
approximately $1,854,000 and unused lines of credit amounted to $2,179,848.
Of the mortgage loan commitments at September 30, 1998, approximately
$255,000 were in fixed rate loans. These instruments involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount
recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and consumer
lines of credit are represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments
and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
Since many of the loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the
total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future requirements.
The Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on

a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained upon extension of
credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Collateral held varies, but primarily includes residential real estate.
10. Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments"
extends the existing fair value disclosure practices for some instruments
by requiring all entities to disclose the fair value of financial
instruments (as defined), both assets and liabilities recognized and not
recognized in the statements of financial condition, for which it is
practicable to estimate fair value.
There are inherent limitations in determining fair value estimates, as they
relate only to specific data based on relevant information at that time. As
a significant percentage of the Bank's financial instruments do not have an
active trading market, fair value estimates are necessarily based on future
expected cash flows, credit losses, and other related factors. Such
estimates are accordingly, subjective in nature, judgmental and involve
imprecision. Future events will occur at levels different from that in the
assumptions, and such differences may significantly affect the estimates.
The statement excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial
instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate
fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the
Company. Additionally, the tax impact of the unrealized gains or losses has
not been presented or included in the estimates of fair value.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the statement
of financial condition for cash and short-term instruments approximate
those assets' fair values.
Investment Securities. Fair values for investment securities are based on
quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable
instruments. No active market exists for the Federal Home Loan Bank capital
stock. The carrying value is estimated to be fair value since if the Bank
withdraws membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank, the stock must be
redeemed for face value.
Loans Receivable. The fair value of loans was estimated by discounting the
future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be
made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining
maturities.
Deposits. The fair value of savings deposits and certain money market
deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair
value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the
rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
