"anticipates", "expects", "estimates" or words of similar import. Similarly,
statements that describe the Company's future plans, objectives or goals are
also forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties which are described in close proximity to such
statements and which could cause actual results to differ materially from those
anticipated as of the date of this report. Shareholders, potential investors and
other readers are urged to consider these factors in evaluating the
forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are
only made as of the date of this report and the Company undertakes no obligation

GENERAL:
HFB Financial Corporation is the holding company of Home Federal Bank, Federal
Savings Bank a federal stock savings bank located in Middlesboro, Kentucky. The
Corporation's primary operation is its' investment in the common stock of the
Bank. All references to the Corporation include 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.
Home Federal Bank has branch offices in Harlan, Kentucky and Tazewell,
Tennessee. On October 15, 1999, the Bank successfully acquired a National City
Bank branch location in Harlan, Kentucky from National City Bank of Kentucky for
a premium of $459,000. The acquisition included approximately $17.1 million in
deposits.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Corporation's assets decreased by .78% to $188.9 million at September 30,
1999 compared to $190.4 million at June 30, 1999.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $524,000 to $4.097 million at September
30, 1999 from $3.573 million at June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily due
to anticipated cash needs for the year 2,000.
The Corporation maintains a portfolio of trading-account securities which is
comprised of common stock of other financial institutions. The balance of the
portfolio was $980,000 at September 30, 1999 compared to $1.014 million at June
30, 1999. Most of this decrease was attributable to a decline in the market
value of the underlying securities.
The Corporation's loan portfolio decreased by $3.6 million to $118.4 million at
September 30, 1999 from $122.0 million at June 30, 1999 due to a decline in loan
demand and the repayment of $904,000 of impaired loans. The Corporation
continues to maintain a high percentage of its loan portfolio in adjustable-rate
residential mortgages.
At September 30, 1999, the allowance for loan losses was $647,000 or .55% of
loans receivable compared to $1.2 million or .99% of loans receivable at June
30, 1999. During the three-months ended September 30, 1999, Management reduced
the allowance by $474,000 due to the repayment of $904,000 on impaired loans.
Total non-performing assets were $973,000 or .82% of total loans at the end of
the same period as compared to $1.9 million or 1.56% of total loans at June 30,
1999. The decrease in non-performing loans was primarily due to the repayment of
$874,000 on several problem real estate loans to one borrower that totaled $1.4
million. Over the past year, Management has aggressively worked to help this
borrower find new financing with another lender. This refinancing was the source
of the $874,000 principal reduction and reduced the borrowers outstanding debt
to $455,000. At September 30, 1999, $99,000 was included in the allowance for
loan losses, specifically as a reserve for the remaining loans to this borrower.
Premises and equipment increased by $476,000 to $2.908 million at September 30,
1999 compared to $2.432 million at June 30, 1999, primarily due to progress
payments made on the Bank's new operations center, which is currently under
construction.
Total deposits decreased by $1.7 million to $152.3 million at September 30, 1999
from $154.0 million at June 30, 1999. During the three-months ended September
30, 1999, certificates of deposit decreased $1.9 million, primarily due to a
higher degree of competitiveness in the local market. NOW accounts and savings
deposits increased $200,000.
Short- term borrowings decreased $975,000 to $5.525 million at September 30,
1999 from $6.5 million at June 30, 1999 primarily due to the decrease in the
loan portfolio during the period.
The Bank's regulatory liquidity ratio was 39.3% at September 30, 1999 as
compared to 27.4% at June 30, 1999. At September 30, 1999 the Bank met all the
regulatory capital requirements to be considered "well capitalized" under bank
regulations. Tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios were 9.4%, 9.4% and
23.3% respectively at September 30, 1999 as compared to 9.1%, 9.1% and 22.5%
respectively, at June 30, 1999.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE-MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998
Net income increased by $420,000 to $584,000 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1999 from $164,000 for the three-month period ended September 30,
1998. The primary reasons for the increase were a $198,000 increase in net
interest income, a $543,000 decrease in provision for loan losses, an increase
of $140,000 in non-interest income, an increase of $155,000 in non-interest
expense, and a $306,000 increase in income tax expense.
Net interest income increased by $198,000 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to the three-month period ended September 30,
1998, as the result of a higher volumes and the recognition of interest income
on several non-accrual loans.
9
Interest on loans increased by $39,000 to $2.547 million for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $2.508 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1998. This increase is mainly
attributable to the collection of $55,000 in interest income on non-accrual
loans.
Interest on investment securities and other dividend income increased by
$157,000 to $956,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1999 from
$799,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1998. This increase is
primarily the result of higher average balances during the period.
Interest on deposits with other financial institutions decreased by $18,000 to
$2,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1999 from $20,000 for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1998 primarily due to a lower level of
interest-bearing cash balances.
Interest on deposits decreased by $63,000 to $1.768 million for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1999 from $1.831 million for the three-month period
ended September 30, 1998 as a result of a lower cost of funds.
Interest on short term borrowings and long term debt increased by $44,000 to
$223,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1999 from $179,000 for
the three-month period ended September 30, 1998 primarily due to higher levels
of long-term borrowing. Long-term borrowings increased $5.0 million during the
quarter ended March 31, 1999.
The provision for loan losses decreased $543,000 for the three-month period
ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998. During the
quarter ended September 30, 1999, a total of $904,000 of impaired loans were
paid off. The amount charged off for those loans was significantly less than
what was specifically reserved for these loans and resulted in a $474,000
reduction in the overall allowance. The provision was the result of Management's
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses including
consideration of recoveries of loans previously charged off, the perceived risk
exposure among loan types, actual loss experience, delinquency rates, and
current economic conditions. The Bank's allowance for loan losses as a percent
of total loans at September 30, 1999 was .55%.
The Corporation's non-interest income increased by $140,000 to $59,000 for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $(81,000) for the
same period in 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to a decrease in
trading account realized and unrealized losses of $145,000 and a decrease of
$6,000 in other fee income. The Corporation has a portfolio of approximately
$1.0 million in common stock of other financial institutions. The market value
of these stocks has fluctuated substantially during the past year, due to market
volatility.
Non-interest expense increased by $155,000 to $1.055 million for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $900,000 for the same period in
1998. Compensation and benefits increased by $52,000 to $491,000 for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $439,000 for the same
period in 1998. This increase is primarily attributable to a decrease of $49,000
in the portion of salaries and wages that are being deferred as loan origination
costs net of amortization, an increase in compensation of $30,000 and a decrease
of $27,000 in employee retirement expense.
Occupancy expense increased by $7,000 to $54,000 for the three-month period
ended September 30, 1999 compared to $47,000 for the same period in 1998
primarily due to higher maintenance expense.
Data processing fees decreased by $23,000 to $44,000 for the three-month period
ended September 30, 1999 from $67,000 for the three-month period ended September
30, 1998, primarily due to conversion expenses incurred during the quarter ended
September 30, 1998.
Advertising expense increased by $29,000 to $55,000 for the three-month period
ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $26,000 for the three-months ended
September 30, 1998, primarily due to a higher level of advertising during the
period.
10
State franchise and deposit taxes increased by $7,000 to $39,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999 compared to $32,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
1998 primarily due to a higher level of deposits.
Other expenses increased by $76,000 to $239,000 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1999 from $163,000 for the three-month period ended September 30,
1998 primarily as the result of an increase of $35,000 in other real estate
owned expense. The remaining net increase was due to increases in various other
expense categories, primarily postage expense, telephone expense and check
imaging services.
Income tax expense increased by $306,000 to $408,000 for the three-month period
ended September 30, 1999 compared to $102,000 for the three-months ended
September 30, 1998 due to higher earnings.
YEAR 2000
The Company has completed an assessment of its computer systems, including its
information and non-information systems, and identified those systems that it
believes could be affected by the Year 2000 issue. It has also developed an
implementation plan to address the issue and has tested the majority of its
internal mission critical hardware and software systems to determine if they are
Year 2000 compliant. While the Company has exposure to several risks related to
Year 2000, the primary risk to the Company of not complying with Year 2000 is
the potential inability to correctly process and record customer loan and
deposit transactions.
The Company believes that it has met the requirements that have been established
for the banking industry by the Federal Financial Institution Examination
Council "FFIEC". These standards require that a series of procedures be
performed by financial institutions within established time frames to reduce the
risk of noncompliance with the Year 2000 issue. While the Company believes that
it has met all of the FFIEC requirements and that its mission critical systems
are in compliance with Year 2000, it can give no assurance that this will occur.
The Company has developed a business resumption contingency plan that would take
effect if its internal systems, or the systems of those material vendors on
which it is reliant, would not be compliant with Year 2000 requirements.
The Company outsources a significant portion of its data processing to an
outside provider. A worst case scenario for the Company would likely involve
non-compliance with Year 2000 by its primary data processor in such a manner
that would leave the Company in a position where it could not correctly process
and record customer loan and deposit transactions. While the Company has
successfully tested its primary data processing system for compliance with Year
2000, it cannot guarantee that the systems of this and other companies on which
the Company's systems rely will be timely converted and not have a material
effect on the Company. Other parties whose year 2000 compliance may effect the
Company include the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, the Federal Reserve
Bank of Cincinnati, vendors who support loan and deposit documentation software,
the operations of the Company's ATM network, and these third parties have
indicated their compliance or intended compliance. Where it is possible to do
so, the Company has performed testing with these third parties. Where testing is
not possible, the Company will rely on certifications from vendors and service
providers. A failure to resolve year 2000 issues by governmental agencies,
utilities and telecommunications companies on whom the Company is dependent
could also adversely effect the Company. There can be no assurances that the
Company's year 2000 plan will effectively address the year 2000 issue, or that
the impact of any failure of the Company's third-party vendors and service
providers to be year 2000 compliant will not have a material effect on the
Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
The Company has, through September 30, 1999, incurred certain costs, not
including salary expense, related to Year 2000. A portion of these costs were
incurred in connection with the recent conversion of the Company's primary data
processing system. Costs incurred through September 30, 1999 total approximately
$326,000 and include $205,000 for equipment, $65,000 for software, $12,000 for
de-conversion fees that were paid to the previous data processing provider,
$38,000 for training and $6,000 for the initial assessment. At September 30,
1999, the
11
Company expects to incur additional costs associated with Year 2000
preparedness, but does not expect these costs to be material to the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.
The Company does not have, at September 30, 1999, any material commitments to
purchase new equipment, software or to incur material costs to modify its
existing system for year 2000 compliance and does not believe that any material
amounts of its existing computer hardware or software is impaired. The Company
has assessed the impact of Year 2000 on its commercial-lending customers, and
believes that the impact, in terms of potential credit exposure, is not
material. The majority of the Company's commercial lending portfolio consists of
commercial real estate loans that are made to companies that are not highly
technology intensive.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK
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 effect 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 fifteen 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 re-pricing and/or maturity
of its liabilities thus reducing its exposure to rising interest rates.
The Bank, other than its investment securities trading account, does not have a
trading account for any class of financial instrument nor does it engage in
hedging activities or purchase high-risk derivative instruments. Furthermore,
the Bank is not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity
price risk.
The Bank uses interest rate sensitivity analysis to measure its interest rate by
computing changes in net portfolio value of its cash flows from assets,
liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event of a range of assumed
changes in market interest rates. Net portfolio value represents the market
value of portfolio equity and is equal to the market value of assets minus the
market value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance sheet items.
This analysis assesses the risk of loss in market risk sensitive instruments in
the event of a sudden and sustained 100 to 400 basis point increase or decrease
in market interest rates with no effect given to any steps that management might
take to counter the effect of that interest rate movement. Using data compiled
by the OTS, the Bank receives a report that measures interest rate risk by
modeling the change in net portfolio value over a variety of interest rate
scenarios. The most recent interest sensitivity analysis the Bank received from
the OTS measured the Bank's interest risk at June 30, 1999.
