NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.        Basis of Presentation

          Harrodsburg First Financial Bancorp (the "Company") was formed at the
          direction of First Federal Savings Bank of Harrodsburg (the "Bank") to
          become the holding company of the Bank upon the conversion of the Bank
          from mutual to stock form (the "Conversion"). The Company's sole
          business is to serve as a holding company for the Bank. Accordingly,
          the financial statements and discussions herein include both the
          Company and the Bank. The Company was incorporated at the direction of
          the Board of Directors of the Bank in June 1995. On September 29,
          1995, the Bank converted from mutual to stock form as a wholly owned
          subsidiary of the Company. In conjunction with the Conversion, the
          Company issued 2,182,125 shares of its common stock to the public.

          The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
          prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
          ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions
          to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
          not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for
          complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
          adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary
          for fair presentation have been included. The results of operations
          and other data for the three and nine month periods ended June 30,
          1998 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected
          for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 1998.

2.        Earnings Per Share

          Earnings per common share for the three and nine month periods ended
          June 30, 1998 amounted to $0.21 per share and $0.60 per share, based
          on weighted average common shares outstanding of 1,798,903 and
          1,820,734, respectively. Earnings per common share assuming dilution
          for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 1998 amounted to
          $0.21 per share and $0.60 per share, based on weighted average common
          shares outstanding after dilutive effect of 1,801,515 and 1,822,972,
          respectively. Earnings per common share for the three and nine month
          periods ended June 30, 1997 amounted to $0.20 per share and $0.58 per
          share, based on weighted average common stock shares outstanding of
          1,869,800 and 1,894,989, respectively. For the three and nine months
          periods ended June 30, 1997, there were no common stock equivalents,
          which had a dilutive effect on earnings.

3.        Dividends

          On March 16, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized
          the payment of a cash dividend of $.20 per share to all shareholders
          of record on March 31, 1998 payable on April 15, 1998. The total
          dividends paid by the Company for the nine months ended June 30, 1998
          amounted to $1,108,555.

4.        Treasury Stock

          Pursuant to the stock repurchase plan approved by the Board of

5.        Possible Year 2000 Computer Program Problems

          A great deal of information has been disseminated about the global
          computer crash that may occur in the year 2000. Many computer programs
          that can only distinguish the final two digits of the year entered (a
          common programming practice in earlier years) are expected to read
          entries for the year 2000 as the year 1900 and compute payment,
          interest, or delinquency based on the wrong date or are expected to be
          unable to compute payment, interest, or delinquency. Rapid and
          accurate data processing is essential to the operations of the
          Company. Data processing is also essential to most other financial
          institutions and many other companies.

          All of the material data processing applications of the Company that
          could be affected by this problem are provided by a third party
          service bureau. The service bureau used by the Company has advised the
          Company that it expects to resolve this potential problem before the
          year 2000. However, if the service bureau is unable to resolve this
          problem in time, the Company would likely experience significant data
          processing delays, mistakes, and failures. These delays, mistakes, and
          failures could have a significant adverse impact on the financial
          condition and results of operations of the Company.

ITEM 2:   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

Net Income

Net income decreased by $1,000 or .3% for the three months ended June 30, 1998
as compared to the same period in 1997. The net decrease of $1,000 was due to an
increase of $4,000 in the provision for loan losses plus a $4,000 increase in
non-interest expenses offset by a $2,000 increase in net interest income, a
$2,000 increase in non-interest income and a $3,000 decrease in income tax
expense.

Interest Income

Interest income was $1.9 million, or 7.3% of average interest-earning assets,
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $1.9 million, or 7.2% of
average interest-earning assets, for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Interest
income increased by $11,000 or .6% from 1997 to 1998. The increase in interest
income was due to a $323,000 increase in the average balance of interest-earning
assets during the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to the quarter ended June
30, 1997 plus an increase of 2 basis points in the average rate earned.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $970,000, or 4.9% of average interest-bearing deposits, for
the quarter ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $961,000, or 4.9% of average
interest-bearing deposits, for the corresponding period in 1997. Interest
expense increased by $9,000 or .9% from 1997 to 1998. The increase in interest
expense was due primarily to a 3 basis point increase in the average rate paid
on the deposits during the period ended June 30, 1998 compared to the
corresponding period in 1997.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses during the quarter ended June 30, 1998 amounted to
$15,000 as compared to $11,000 for the corresponding period in 1997. Management
considers many factors in determining the necessary level 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 June 30, 1998 the allowance
for loan losses represented .48% of total loans compared to .38% at June 30,
1997.

There can be no assurance that management will not decide to increase the
allowance for loan losses or that regulators, when reviewing the Bank's loan
portfolios in the future, will not request the Bank to increase such allowance,
either of which could adversely affect bank earnings. Further, there can be no
assurance that the Bank's actual loan losses will not exceed its allowance for
loan losses.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income amounted to $29,000 and $27,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The largest item in non-interest income is
service fees on loan and deposit accounts, which amounted to $25,000 and $22,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase

                                        8

<PAGE>



in non-interest income of $2,000 was primarily due to the increase in income
from late fees on delinquent loans plus an increase in service fees on deposit
transaction accounts.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased $4,000 or 1.0% to $419,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1998 compared to $415,000 for the comparable period in 1997.
Non-interest expense was 1.5% of average assets for both periods. The increase
of $4,000 was primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits of
$9,000 and an increase of $7,000 in all other non-operating expense
classifications offset by a decrease of $12,000 in other operating expenses.

Income Taxes

The provision for income tax expense amounted to $194,000 and $197,000 for the
quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, which as a percentage of
income before income tax expense amounted to 34.0% for 1998 and 34.2% for 1997.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

Net Income

Net income increased by $3,000 or .3% for the nine month period ended June 30,
1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. The net increase of $3,000 was due
to an increase of $41,000 in net interest income, an increase of $15,000 in
non-interest income, a $21,000 decrease in non-interest expense, and a $5,000
decrease in income tax expense offset by an increase of $79,000 in the provision
for loan losses for the nine month period ended June 30, 1998 compared to the
same period in 1997.

Interest Income

Interest income was $5.9 million, or 7.3% of average interest-earning assets for
the nine month period ended June 30, 1998 compared to $5.7 million, or 7.2% of
average-earning assets for the nine month period ended June 30, 1997. Interest
income increased by $106,000 or 1.8% from 1997 to 1998. The increase in interest
income was due to a $700,000 increase in the average balance of interest-earning
assets during the nine month period ended June 30, 1998 compared to the nine
month period ended June 30, 1997, and an increase of 8 basis points in the
average rate earned in the 1998 period compared to the 1997 period.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $2.9 million, or 5.0% of average interest-bearing deposits,
for the nine month period ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $2.8 million, or
4.9% of average interest-bearing deposits, for the corresponding period in 1997.
Interest expense increased by $65,000 or 2.3% from 1997 to 1998. The increase in
interest expense was due primarily to a 8 basis point increase in the average
rate paid on the deposits ended June 30, 1998 compared to the corresponding
period in 1997.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses during the nine month period ended June 30, 1998
amounted to $90,000 as compared to $11,000 for the corresponding period in 1997.
Management considers many factors in determining

                                        9

<PAGE>



the necessary level 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.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income amounted to $83,000 and $68,000 for the nine month period
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The largest item in non-interest
income is service fees on loan and deposit accounts, which amounted to $66,000
and $54,000 for the nine month period ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The increase in non-interest income of $15,000 was primarily due
to the increase in income from late fees on delinquent loans plus an increase in
deposit transaction service fees.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense decreased $21,000 or 1.6% for the nine month period ended
June 30, 1998 compared to the comparable period in 1997. Non-interest expense
was 1.6% of average assets for both periods. The decrease of $21,000 was due
primarily to an increase in compensation and benefits of $18,000, an increase in
data processing expenses of $10,000 plus an increase of $10,000 in occupancy
expense offset by a decrease in other operating expense of $32,000 and a
decrease of $27,000 in federal and other insurance premiums. The increase of
$18,000 in compensation and benefits was primarily due to normal salary
increases and an increase related to the employee stock option plan due to the
increase in the average price of the stock. The decrease in other operating
expenses relates primarily to decreases in franchise taxes and legal fees. The
decrease of $27,000 in federal and other insurance premiums was the result of
the reduction of the insurance assessment rate on the Bank's deposits after the
special assessment on September 30, 1996 to recapitalize the Savings Association
Insurance Fund.

Income Taxes

The provision for income tax expense amounted to approximately $565,000 and
$570,000 for the nine month period ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
which as a percentage of income before income tax expense amounted to a 34.0%
for 1998 and 34.2% for 1997.

----------
1  Non-accrual status denotes any loan past due 90 days and whose loan balance,
   plus accrued interest exceeds 90% of the estimated loan collateral value.
   Payments received on a non-accrual loan are either applied to the outstanding
   principal balance or recorded as interest income, or both, depending on
   assessment of the collectibility of the loan.

2  Other non-performing assets represent property acquired by the Bank through
   foreclosure. This property is carried at the lower of its fair market value
   or the principal balance of the related loan, whichever is lower.

At June 30, 1998, the Bank did not have any loans in non-accrual status.
Accordingly, all income earned for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 on the
loans in the table above has been included in income.

At June 30, 1998, there were no loans identified by management, which were not
reflected in the preceding table, but as to which known information about
possible credit problems of borrowers caused management to have serious doubts
as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms.

Financial Condition

The Company's consolidated assets decreased approximately $605,000 or .5% to
$109.0 million at June 30, 1998 compared to $109.6 million at September 30,
1997. The net decrease of $605,000 was due primarily to a decrease of $3.8
million in cash, interest-bearing deposits and certificates of deposit offset by
a $1.0 million increase in investment securities, a $2.0 million increase in
loans receivable, and a $200,000 net increase in premises and equipment.

The Company's investment portfolio increased approximately $1.0 million.
Securities classified as available-for-sale and recorded at market value per
SFAS No. 115 increased $910,000 due solely to the increase in market value of
such securities. Held-to-maturity securities increased only $55,000 as the
purchase of two $500,000 FHLB bonds and a $500,000 FNMA bond was offset by the
call of three $500,000 bonds.

Under SFAS No. 115, unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities
are recorded net of deferred income tax as a separate component of stockholders'
equity. At June 30, 1998, the Company included net unrealized gains of
approximately $2,345,000 in stockholders' equity. At September 30, 1997, the
Company included net unrealized gains of approximately $1,744,000 in
stockholders' equity. Per SFAS No. 115, such gains or losses will not be
reflected as a charge or credit to earnings until the underlying gains or loss,
if any, is actually realized at the time of sale.

Loans receivable increased by $2.0 million, or 2.4% from $81.2 million at
September 30, 1997 to $83.2 million at June 30, 1998, as management continued
its efforts to be competitive in meeting the local demand in the Bank's market
area.

Premises and equipment increased $214,000, or 32.6%, from $656,000 at September
30, 1997 to $870,000 at June 30, 1998. The increase was primarily due to the
purchase of a lot in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. The Company intends to open an
additional branch in that area.

Stockholders' equity decreased by $839,000 to $28.9 million as of June 30, 1998.
The net decrease of $839,000 is due to a decrease of $1.6 million from the
purchase of Treasury Stock and the declaration of dividends totaling $1.1,
offset in part by net income of $1.1 million, an increase of $601,000 in net
unrealized appreciation on investments held-for-sale and an increase of $150,000
related to the release of ESOP shares from collateral during the nine months
ended June 30, 1998.

Liquidity

The liquidity of the Company depends primarily on the dividends paid to it as
the sole shareholder of the Bank. At June 30, 1998, the Bank could pay common
stock dividends of approximately $12.7 million.

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 June 30, 1998, 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 nine
month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

The Bank's most liquid assets are cash and cash-equivalents, which include
investments in highly liquid, short-term investments. At June 30, 1998 and 1997,
cash and cash equivalents totaled $9.4 million and $13.1 million, respectively.

At June 30, 1998, the Bank had $41.8 million in certificates of deposits due
within one year and $17.1 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. At June 30, 1998, the Bank had $1.7
million in outstanding commitments to originate mortgages, excluding $1.3
million in approved but unused home equity lines of credit and $1.2 million in
approved but unused lines of credit and letters of credit. 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 withdrawable
savings. The minimum level of liquidity required by regulation is presently
4.0%. During the third quarter of fiscal year 1998, the Bank satisfied all
regulatory liquidity

requirements, and management believes that the liquidity levels maintained are
adequate to meet potential deposit outflows, loan demand, and normal operations.

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.
