PART I



|ITEM 1. | BUSINESS
|------- | --------

In February
1998, HopFed Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) issued and sold 4,033,625 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the Common Stock), in connection with the conversion of Hopkinsville Federal Savings Bank (the
Bank) from a federal mutual savings bank to a federal stock savings bank and the issuance of the Banks capital stock to the Company. The conversion of the Bank, the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank by
the Company and the issuance and sale of the Common Stock are collectively referred to herein as the Conversion.

HopFed
Bancorp, Inc.

HopFed Bancorp, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in May 1997 at the direction
of the Board of Directors of the Bank for the purpose of serving as a savings and loan holding company of the Bank upon the acquisition of all of the capital stock issued by the Bank in the Conversion. The Companys assets primarily consist of
the outstanding capital stock of the Bank. The Companys principal business is overseeing the business of the Bank. The Company has registered with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) as a savings and loan holding company. See
Regulation  Regulation of the Company.

As a holding company, the Company has greater
flexibility than the Bank to diversify its business activities through existing or newly formed subsidiaries or through acquisition or merger with other financial institutions, although the Company currently does not have any plans, agreements,
arrangements or understandings with respect to any such acquisitions or mergers. The Company is classified as a unitary savings and loan holding company and is subject to regulation by the OTS. The Companys executive offices are located
at 4155 Lafayette Road, Hopkinsville, Kentucky 42240, and its main telephone number is (270) 885-1171. The Companys mailing address is P.O. Box 537, Hopkinsville, Kentucky 42241-0537.

Heritage Bank

The Bank is
a federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, with branch offices in Kentucky and Tennessee. The Kentucky locations include Hopkinsville, Murray, Cadiz, Elkton, Fulton, Calvert City and Benton, Kentucky. The
Tennessee locations include Clarksville, Pleasant View, Ashland City, Kingston Springs and Erin, Tennessee. The Bank was incorporated by the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 1879 under the name Hopkinsville Building and Loan Association. In 1940, the
Bank converted to a federal mutual savings association and received federal insurance of its deposit accounts. In 1983, the Bank became a federal mutual savings bank. On May 14, 2002, the Bank changed its name from Hopkinsville Federal Bank to
Heritage Bank. The primary market area of the Bank consists of the adjacent counties of Calloway, Christian, Todd, Trigg, Fulton, and Marshall located in southwestern Kentucky and Montgomery, Cheatham, Houston, Obion & Weakley counties
located in Tennessee.

The business of the Bank primarily consists of attracting deposits from the general public and
investing such deposits in loans secured by single family residential real estate and investment securities, including U.S. Government and agency securities, municipal and corporate bonds, collateralized mortgages obligations (CMOs), and
mortgage-backed securities. The Bank also originates single-family residential/construction loans and multi-family and commercial real estate loans, as well as loans secured by deposits, other consumer loans and commercial loans. The Bank emphasizes
the origination of residential real estate loans with adjustable interest rates and other assets which are responsive to changes in interest rates and allow the Bank to more closely match the interest rate maturation of its assets and liabilities.

Growth Opportunities

In January 2009, the Company experienced an $8 million reduction in loans outstanding as one of its largest loan relationships ceased operations. Loan growth was slow for most of the first three quarters
of 2009. In the fourth quarter of 2009, quality loan demand was exceptionally slow. This limited growth was a combination of weaker loan demand and more conservative lending practices by the Company. In particular, the Company originated a limited
number of new construction and land development loans in 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Companys construction portfolio declined by approximately $29.1 million, resulting in a 47% reduction in construction loan balances
but reducing the Companys risk profile.

The market for single family homes in Clarksville, Tennessee, the
Companys largest loan market, remained active as total sales in 2009 remained relatively strong. The Clarksville housing market was one of the few in the nation not to experience a decline in home prices in 2009. During 2009, the Clarksville
market was the only market in which the Company experienced positive loan growth. The Companys rural markets have fared much better as compared to urban markets and high growth coastal areas. In 2009, the decline in corn, soybean, and wheat
prices were offset by lower input cost and near record yields. The exceptional operating results experienced by the agricultural community in 2009 have provided opportunities for deposit growth. The Company anticipates that agricultural related loan
demand will be below average as many farmers have excess funds that may reduce their credit needs in 2010.

The Company anticipates modest loan growth in 2010 as weaknesses in both housing and the automotive sector have resulted in unemployment levels in the Companys marketplace between 10% and 15%. The Clarksville market continues to
perform better than most markets both locally and nationally. However, this market may also slow in 2010 as the 101stAirborne anticipates the deployment of 17,000 troops to the Middle East for a period of twelve to fifteen months.

Despite the limited short term growth prospects, the Companys longer term prospects remain strong. The Fort Campbell
Army Base continues to experience growth as the Army consolidates smaller bases into this facility. The continued construction of the Hemlock Semiconductor plant (production scheduled to begin in 2012) will provide a stable demand for construction
labor as well as opportunity for highly desirable employment when production begins. The Companys Cheatham County market provides an excellent inroad into the Nashville, Tennessee MSA. The Company anticipates that this market will be among the
first to experience an economic recovery due to its well diversified economy and ideal location. Furthermore, the Companys growth opportunities will continue to be enhanced as many of its competitors struggle to remain in business due to
credit and capital concerns. Typically, these opportunities are in the form of seizing on both customer and bank employees dissatisfied with the poor quality of service and the limitations placed on their employees and availability of credit at
larger regional and national banks. The Company also anticipates that a limited number of whole bank and branch acquisition opportunities will be available within its market. The Company is interested in FDIC assisted transactions but has a strong
preference for local acquisitions.

Beginning in 2008 and continuing through 2009 and 2010, the Company has developed a
marketing campaign focused on increasing its market share of checking accounts. The campaign continues to be a resounding success with more than 4,000 new non-interest bearing checking accounts opened in each of the last two years. The Company will
continue to focus significant resources to this campaign.

Scheduled contractual principal repayments of loans do
not reflect the actual life of such assets. The average life of loans is substantially less than their contractual terms because of prepayments. In addition, due-on-sale clauses on loans generally give the lender the right to declare a loan
immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower sells the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid. The average life of mortgage loans tends to increase when current mortgage loan market rates
are substantially higher than rates on existing mortgage loans and, conversely, decrease when current mortgage loan market rates are substantially lower than rates on existing mortgage loans.

Originations, Purchases and Sales of Loans. The Bank generally has authority to originate and purchase loans secured by real estate
located throughout the United States. Consistent with its emphasis on being a community-oriented financial institution, the Bank conducts substantially all of its lending activities in its market area. The following table sets forth certain
information with respect to loan origination activity for the periods indicated.

Loan originations are derived from a number of sources, including existing customers, referrals by real
estate agents, depositors and borrowers and advertising, as well as walk-in customers. Solicitation programs consist of advertisements in local media, in addition to occasional participation in various community organizations and events. Real estate
loans are originated by the Banks loan personnel. All of the loan personnel are salaried, and are not compensated on a commission basis for loans originated. Loan applications are accepted at any of the Banks branches.

Loan Underwriting Policies. Lending activities are subject to written,
non-discriminatory underwriting standards and to loan origination procedures prescribed by the Board of Directors and its management. Detailed loan applications are obtained to determine the ability of borrowers to repay, and the more significant
items on these applications are verified through the use of credit reports, financial statements and confirmations. Loan requests exceeding loan officer limits must be approved by the loan committee or Board of Directors.

Generally, upon receipt of a loan application from a prospective borrower, a credit report and verifications are ordered to confirm specific
information relating to the loan applicants employment, income and credit standing. If a proposed loan is to be secured by a mortgage on real estate, an appraisal of the real estate is undertaken by an appraiser approved by the Board of
Directors and licensed or certified (as necessary) by the Commonwealth of Kentucky or the State of Tennessee.

In the case of
one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, except when the Bank becomes aware of a particular risk of environmental contamination, the Bank generally does not obtain a formal environmental report on the real estate at the time a loan is made. A
formal environmental report may be required in connection with nonresidential real estate loans.

It is the Banks policy
to record a lien on the real estate securing a loan and to obtain a title opinion from Kentucky counsel who provides that the property is free of prior encumbrances and other possible title defects. Title Insurance is generally required on all
commercial real estate loans, all one-to-four family loans with balances exceeding $100,000 and all one-to-four family loans that are to be sold in the secondary market. Borrowers must also obtain hazard insurance policies prior to closing and, when
the property is in a flood hazard area, pay flood insurance policy premiums. The majority of real estate loan applications are underwritten and closed in accordance with the Banks own lending guidelines, which generally do not conform to
secondary market guidelines. Although such loans may not be readily saleable in the secondary market, management believes that, if necessary, such loans may be sold to private investors at a discount to par.

The Bank offers a fixed rate loan program with maturities of 15, 20, and 30 years. These loans are underwritten and closed in accordance
with secondary market standards. These loans are originated with the intent to sell on the secondary market. The Bank offers both servicing retained and servicing released products in an attempt to meet the needs of our customers. At
December 31, 2009, the Banks 1-4 family loan servicing portfolio was approximately $27.9 million dollars.

The Bank
is permitted to lend up to 100% of the appraised value of the residential real property securing a mortgage loan. The Bank is required by federal regulations to obtain private mortgage insurance on that portion of the principal amount of any loan
that is greater than 90% of the appraised value of the property. Under its lending policies, the Bank will originate a one-to-four family residential mortgage loan for owner-occupied property with a loan-to-value ratio of up to 95%. For residential
properties that are not owner-occupied, the Bank generally does not lend more than 80% of the appraised value. For all residential mortgage loans, the Bank may increase its lending level on a case-by-case basis, provided that the excess amount is
insured with private mortgage insurance. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the loan committee or the Board of Directors. At December 31, 2009, the Bank held approximately $9.0 million of 1-4 family residential mortgages with a loan
to value ratio exceeding 90% without private mortgage insurance. For these loans at December 31, 2009, approximately $337,000 was past due more than 30 days.

Under applicable law, with certain limited exceptions, loans and extensions of credit outstanding by a savings institution to a person at one time shall not exceed 15% of the institutions unimpaired
capital and surplus. Loans and extensions of credit fully secured by readily marketable collateral may comprise an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus. Applicable law additionally authorizes savings institutions to make loans to one
borrower, for any purpose, in an amount not to exceed the lesser of $30.0 million or 30% of unimpaired capital and surplus to develop residential housing, provided certain requirements are satisfied. Under these limits, the Banks loans to one
borrower were limited to approximately $13.4 million at December 31, 2009. At that date, the Bank had no lending relationships in excess of the loans-to-one-borrower limit.

Interest rates charged by the Bank on loans are affected principally by competitive factors,
the demand for such loans and the supply of funds available for lending purposes. These factors are, in turn, affected by general economic conditions, monetary policies of the federal government, including the Federal Reserve Board, legislative tax
policies and government budgetary matters.

One-to-four Family Residential Lending. The Bank historically has been and
continues to be an originator of one-to-four family residential real estate loans in its market area. At December 31, 2009, one-to-four family residential mortgage loans totaled approximately $240.8 million, or 37.0% of the Banks loan
portfolio. The Bank originated approximately $5.8 million in loans were sold in the secondary market with servicing released. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had approximately $1.4 million in one-to-four family residential real estate loans past
due more than ninety days.

The Bank primarily originates residential mortgage loans with adjustable rates. As of
December 31, 2009, 84.2% of one-to-four family mortgage loans in the Banks loan portfolio carried adjustable rates or mature within one year. The Banks one to four family loan portfolio consist of closed end first and second
mortgages as well as opened ended home equity lines of credit. At December 31, 2009, approximately $203.2 million of the Banks residential mortgage portfolio consisted of closed end first and second mortgage loans. Such loans are
primarily for terms of 25 years, although the Bank does occasionally originate adjustable rate mortgages for 15, 20 and 30 year terms, in each case amortized on a monthly basis with principal and interest due each month. The interest rates on these
mortgages are adjusted once per year, with a maximum adjustment of 1% per adjustment period and a maximum aggregate adjustment of 5% over the life of the loan. Prior to August 1, 1997, rate adjustments on the Banks adjustable rate
loans were indexed to a rate which adjusted annually based upon changes in an index based on the National Monthly Median Cost of Funds, plus a margin of 2.75%. Because the National Monthly Median Cost of Funds is a lagging index, which results in
rates changing at a slower pace than rates generally in the marketplace, the Bank changed to a one-year Treasury bill constant maturity (One Year CMT), which the Bank believes reflects more current market information and thus allows the
Bank to react more quickly to changes in the interest rate environment. In mid 2004, the Bank increased its margin on its adjustable rate loans to 3.00%. However, the vast majority of the current adjustable rate portfolio maintains a margin of 2.75%
over the One Year CMT.

The Bank also originates, to a limited extent, fixed-rate loans for terms of 10 and 15 years. Such
loans are secured by first mortgages on one-to-four family, owner-occupied residential real property located in the Banks market area. Because of the Banks policy to mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk through the use of
adjustable rate rather than fixed rate products, the Bank does not emphasize fixed-rate mortgage loans. Fixed rate mortgage loans originated by the Bank are loans that often do not qualify for the secondary market due to numerous factors not related
to credit quality. Typically, these products are not priced to be competitive with secondary market loans but to offer as an alternative if that option is not available. At December 31, 2009, $32.3 million of the Banks loan portfolio
consisted of fixed-rate one-to-four family first mortgage loans. To further reduce its interest rate risk associated with such loans, the Bank may rely upon FHLB advances with similar maturities to fund such loans. See  Deposit Activity
and Other Sources of Funds  Borrowing.

At December 31, 2009, the Bank has $37.5 million in home equity lines
of credit outstanding and $31.2 million of additional credit available. Typically, these loans are for a term of fifteen years and have loan to value ratio of between 80% to 100%. The home equity portfolio is priced at a spread to prime, adjusted
daily, depending on the customers loan to value ratio at the time of origination. Many of the home equity lines of credit require monthly interest payments with all unpaid interest and principal due at maturity.

The retention of adjustable rate loans in the Banks portfolio helps reduce, but does not eliminate, the Banks exposure to
increases in prevailing market interest rates. However, there are unquantifiable credit risks resulting from potential increases in costs to borrowers in the event of upward re-pricing of adjustable-rate loans. It is possible that during periods of
rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable rate loans may increase due to increases in interest costs to borrowers. Further, although adjustable rate loans allow the Bank to increase the sensitivity of its interest-earning assets to
changes in interest rates, the extent of this interest sensitivity is limited by the initial fixed-rate period before the first adjustment and the lifetime interest rate adjustment limitations. This risk is heightened by the Banks practice of
offering its adjustable rate mortgages with a 1% limitation on annual interest rate adjustments. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that yields on the Banks adjustable rate loans will fully adjust to compensate for increases in the
Banks cost of funds.

Finally, adjustable rate loans increase the Banks exposure to decreases in prevailing
market interest rates, although the 1% limitation on annual decreases in the loans interest rate tends to offset this effect. In times of declining interest rates, borrowers often refinance into fixed rate loan products, limiting the
Banks ability to significantly increase its interest rate margin on adjustable rate loans in a declining interest rate market.

Neither the fixed rate nor the adjustable rate residential mortgage loans held in the Banks portfolio are originated in conformity with secondary market guidelines issued by FHLMC or FNMA. As a result, such loans may not be readily
saleable in the secondary market to institutional purchasers. However, such loans may still be sold to private investors whose investment strategies do not depend upon loans that satisfy FHLMC or FNMA criteria. Further, given its high liquidity, the
Bank does not currently view loan sales as a necessary funding source.

Construction Lending.The Bank engages in
construction lending involving loans to individuals for construction of one-to-four family residential housing, multi-family housing and non-residential real estate located within the Banks market area, with such loans converting to permanent
financing upon completion of construction. The Bank mitigates its risk with construction loans by imposing a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 95% for homes that will be owner-occupied and 80% for homes being built on a speculative basis.

The Bank also makes loans to qualified builders for the construction of one-to-four family residential housing located in established
subdivisions in the Banks market area. Because such homes are intended for resale, such loans are generally not converted to permanent financing at the Bank. All construction loans are secured by a first lien on the property under
construction.

Loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as construction progresses and as inspections warrant.
Construction/permanent loans may have adjustable or fixed interest rates and are underwritten in accordance with the same terms and requirements as the Banks permanent mortgages. Such loans generally provide for disbursement in stages during a
construction period of up to six months, during which period the borrower is required to make payments of interest only. The permanent loans are typically 30-year adjustable rate loans, with the same terms and conditions otherwise offered by the
Bank. Monthly payments of principal and interest commence the month following the date the loan is converted to permanent financing. Borrowers must satisfy all credit requirements that would apply to the Banks permanent mortgage loan financing
prior to receiving construction financing for the subject property.

Construction financing generally is considered to involve
a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the propertys value at completion of construction
or development and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction. During the construction phase, a number of factors could result in delays and cost overruns. If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be
confronted at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project having a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment. The ability of a developer to sell developed lots or completed dwelling units will depend on, among other things,
demand, pricing, availability of comparable properties and economic conditions. The Bank has sought to minimize this risk by limiting construction lending to qualified borrowers in the Banks market area, by requiring the involvement of
qualified builders, and by limiting the aggregate amount of outstanding construction loans.

At December 31, 2009, the
Banks loan portfolio included $33.2 million of loans secured by properties under construction, including construction/permanent loans structured to become permanent loans upon the completion of construction and interim construction loans
structured to be repaid in full upon completion of construction and receipt of permanent financing. At December 31, 2009, approximately $14.0 million of construction loans were for one to four family dwellings, $7.3 million were for
multi-family dwellings and $11.9 million were for non-residential real estate. At December 31, 2009, there were $572,000 in construction loans past due more than ninety days.

Multi-Family Residential and Non-Residential Real Estate Lending. The Banks
multi-family residential loan portfolio consists of fixed and adjustable rate loans secured by real estate. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had $46.3 million of multi-family residential loans, which amounted to 7.1% of the Banks loan
portfolio at such date. The Banks non-residential real estate portfolio generally consists of adjustable and fixed rate loans secured by first mortgages on commercial real estate, residential lots, and rental property. In most cases, such
property is located in the Banks market area. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had approximately $254.1 million of such loans, which comprised 39.0% of its loan portfolio. Multi-family residential real estate loans are underwritten with
loan-to-value ratios up to 80% of the appraised value of the property. Non-residential real estate loans are underwritten with loan-to-value ratios up to 65% of the appraised value for raw land and 75% for land development loans.

Multi-family residential and non-residential real estate lending entails significant additional risks as compared with one-to-four family
residential property lending. Multi-family residential and commercial real estate loans typically involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. The payment experience on such loans typically is dependent on the
successful operation of the real estate project, retail establishment or business. These risks can be significantly impacted by supply and demand conditions in the market for the office, retail and residential space, and, as such, may be subject to
a greater extent to adverse conditions in the economy generally.

To minimize these risks, the Bank generally limits itself to
its market area or to borrowers with which it has prior experience or who are otherwise known to the Bank. It has been the Banks policy to obtain annual financial statements of the business of the borrower or the project for which multi-family
residential real estate or commercial real estate loans are made. At December 31, 2009, there were $4.9 million in multi-family loans delinquent by 90 days or more. At December 31, 2009, there were $4.0 million in non-residential real
estate loans that were past due by 90 days or more. The Company has experienced an increase in the amount of delinquency in the multi-family portfolio. The increase in delinquency is the result of a small number of customer relationships that have
been affected by the deployment of military personnel. At December 31, 2009, the Company allowance for loan loss includes $1.3 million in reserve for multi-family loans and $2.3 million in reserve for non-residential real estate loans.

Consumer Lending. The consumer loans currently in the Banks loan portfolio consist of loans secured by savings
deposits and other consumer loans. Savings deposit loans are usually made for up to 90% of the depositors savings account balance. The interest rate is approximately 2.0% above the rate paid on such deposit account serving as collateral, and
the account must be pledged as collateral to secure the loan. Interest generally is billed on a quarterly basis. At December 31, 2009, loans on deposit accounts totaled $4.1 million, or 0.6% of the Banks loan portfolio. Other consumer
loans include automobile loans, the amount and terms of which are determined by the loan committee, and home equity and home improvement loans, which are made for up to 100% of the value of the property. At December 31, 2009, other consumer
loan accounts totaled $17.9 million, or 2.8% of total loans.

Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than do
residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an
adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrowers continuing financial stability, and
therefore are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans. At
December 31, 2009, there was $27,000 in consumer loans delinquent 90 days or more.

Commercial Lending. The Bank
originates commercial loans on a secured and, to a lesser extent, unsecured basis. At December 31, 2009, the Banks commercial loans amounted to $54.5 million, or 8.4% of the Banks loan portfolio. The Banks commercial loans
generally are secured by business assets. In addition, the Bank generally obtains guarantees from the principals of the borrower with respect to all commercial loans. At December 31, 2009, there was $367,000 in commercial loans delinquent 90
days or more.

Non-performing Loans and Other Problem Assets

The Banks non-performing loans totaled 1.72% of total loans at December 31, 2009. Loans are placed on a non-accrual status when
the loan is past due in excess of 90 days or the collection of principal and interest is doubtful. The Bank places a high priority on contacting customers by telephone as a primary method of determining the status of delinquent loans and the action
necessary to resolve any payment problem. The Banks management performs quality reviews of problem assets to determine the necessity of establishing additional loss reserves. The Banks total non-performing assets to total asset ratio was
1.28% at December 31, 2009.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the Banks non-performing
loans at the dates indicated. No loans were recorded as restructured loans within the meaning of FASB ASC310-40, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, at the dates indicated.

At December 31, 2009, the Bank had $11.2 million in loans outstanding which were classified as
non-accrual, 90 days past due or restructured but where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers caused management to have serious concerns as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and may
result in disclosure as non-accrual, 90 days past due or restructured. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had $1.9 million in other assets owned. Also, the Bank had impaired loans, as defined by FASB ASC310, Receivables, totaling
approximately $35.5 million at December 31, 2009.

Federal regulations require savings institutions to classify their
assets on the basis of quality on a regular basis. An asset meeting one of the classification definitions set forth below may be classified and still be a performing loan. An asset is classified as substandard if it is determined to be inadequately
protected by the current retained earnings and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. An asset is classified as doubtful if full collection is highly questionable or improbable. An asset is classified as loss if it is
considered uncollectible, even if a partial recovery could be expected in the future. The regulations also provide for a special mention designation, described as assets which do not currently expose a savings institution to a sufficient degree of
risk to warrant classification but do possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving managements close attention. Such assets designated as special mention may include non-performing loans consistent with the above definition.
Assets classified as substandard or doubtful require a savings institution to establish general allowances for loan losses. If an asset or portion thereof is classified loss, a savings institution must either establish a specific allowance for loss
in the amount of the portion of the asset-classified loss, or charge off such amount. Federal examiners may disagree with a savings institutions classifications. If a savings institution does not agree with an examiners classification of
an asset, it may appeal this determination to the OTS Regional Director. The Bank regularly reviews its assets to determine whether any assets require classification or re-classification. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had $35.0 million in
assets classified as substandard and $518,000 in assets classified as doubtful.

Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure is classified as real estate
owned until such time as it is sold. The Bank generally tries to sell the property at a price no less than its net book value; however, it will consider slight discounts to the appraised value to expedite the return of the funds to an earning
status. When such property is acquired, it is recorded at its fair value less estimated costs of sale. Any required write-down of the loan to its appraised fair market value upon foreclosure is charged against the allowance for loan losses.
Subsequent to foreclosure, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, a valuation allowance is established if the carrying value of the property exceeds its fair value net of related selling
expenses. At December 31, 2009, the Banks other assets owned totaled $1.9 million. This amount represents managements best estimate on the fair value of these assets.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the Banks other real estate and other assets owned at December 31,
2009 and December 31, 2008. (Table Amounts in Thousands)

Allowance for Loan Losses. In originating loans, the Bank recognizes that credit losses will be
experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan, general economic conditions and, in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the
security for the loan. It is managements policy to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses based on, among other things, the Banks and the industrys historical loan loss experience, evaluation of economic conditions, regular
reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality and evolving standards imposed by federal bank examiners and other regulatory agencies. The Bank increases its allowance for loan losses by charging provisions for loan losses against the
Banks income.

Management will continue to actively monitor the Banks asset quality and allowance for loan losses.
Management will charge off loans and properties acquired in settlement of loans against the allowances for loan losses on such loans and such properties when appropriate and will provide specific loss allowances when necessary. Although management
believes it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowances for loan losses and believes such allowances are adequate, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the
economic conditions in the assumptions used in making the initial determinations.

The Banks methodology for
establishing the allowance for loan losses takes into consideration probable losses that have been identified in connection with specific assets as well as losses that have not been identified but can be expected to occur. Management conducts
regular reviews of the Banks assets and evaluates the need to establish allowances on the basis of this review. Allowances are established by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis based on an assessment of risk in the Banks assets
taking into consideration the composition and quality of the portfolio, delinquency trends, current charge-off and loss experience, loan concentrations, the state of the real estate market, regulatory reviews conducted in the regulatory examination
process and economic conditions generally.

Specific reserves will be provided for individual assets, or portions of assets, when
ultimate collection is considered improbable by management based on the current payment status of the assets and the fair value of the security. At the date of foreclosure or other repossession, the Bank would transfer the property to real estate
acquired in settlement of loans initially at the lower of cost or estimated fair value and subsequently at the lower of book value or fair value less estimated selling costs. Any portion of the outstanding loan balance in excess of fair value less
estimated selling costs would be charged off against the allowance for loan losses. If, upon ultimate disposition of the property, net sales proceeds exceed the net carrying value of the property, a gain on sale of other real estate would be
recorded.

Banking regulatory agencies, including the OTS, have adopted a policy statement regarding maintenance of an
adequate allowance for loan and lease losses and an effective loan review system.

The following table sets forth an analysis
of the Banks allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

The following table sets forth the breakdown of the allowance for loan losses by loan
category at the dates indicated. Management believes that the allowance can be allocated by category only on an approximate basis. The allocation of the allowance to each category is not necessarily indicative of future losses and does not restrict
the use of the allowance to absorb losses in any category.

Investment Activities

The Bank makes investments in order to maintain the levels of liquid assets required by regulatory authorities and manage cash flow, diversify its assets, obtain yield and to satisfy certain requirements
for favorable tax treatment. The principal objective of the investment policy is to earn as high a rate of return as possible, but to consider also financial or credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The investment activities of the
Company and the Bank consist primarily of investments in U.S. Government agency securities, municipal and corporate bonds, CMOs, and mortgage-backed securities. Typical investments include federally sponsored agency mortgage pass-through and
federally sponsored agency and mortgage-related securities. Investment and aggregate investment limitations and credit quality parameters of each class of investment are prescribed in the Banks investment policy. The Company and the Bank
perform analyses on mortgage-related securities prior to purchase and on an ongoing basis to determine the impact on earnings and market value under various interest rate and prepayment conditions. Securities purchases must be approved by the
Banks Chief Financial Officer or President. The Board of Directors reviews all securities transactions on a monthly basis.

At December 31, 2009, securities, including FHLB stock, with an amortized cost of $288.6 million and an approximate market value of $294.0 million were classified as available for sale. Management presently does not intend to sell such
securities and, based on the current liquidity level and the access to borrowings through the FHLB of Cincinnati, management currently does not anticipate that the Company or the Bank will be placed in a position of having to sell securities with
material unrealized losses.

Mortgage-Backed and Related Securities. Mortgage-backed securities represent a
participation interest in a pool of one-to-four family or multi-family mortgages, the principal and interest payments on which are passed from the mortgage originators through intermediaries that pool and repackage the participation interest in the
form of securities to investors such as the Bank. CMOs are a variation of mortgage-backed securities in which the mortgage pool is divided into specific classes, with different classes receiving different principal reduction streams based on
numerous factors, including prepayments speeds. Such intermediaries may include quasi-governmental agencies such as FHLMC, FNMA and the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) which guarantees the payment of principal and
interest to investors. Of the $80.5 million mortgage-backed security portfolio and $34.9 million CMO portfolio at December 31, 2009, approximately $29.6 million were originated through GNMA, approximately $44.1 million were originated through
FNMA, approximately $25.4 million were originated through FHLMC, and approximately $16.3 million are Whole Loan CMOs.

Typically, the collateral in Whole Loan CMOs include jumbo mortgages that exceeded the
limits provided by federal agencies and do not have a federal government or agency guarantee. The issuers of Whole Loan CMOs receive an AAA rating by credit rating agencies by providing an overabundance of collateral to secure these
investments. In capital computations, Whole Loan CMOs are risk rated 20%, the same of FNMA and FHLMC. At December 31, 2009, the Company two securities, with a combined market value of $1.75 million that have been downgraded below
investment grade. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company incurred a $200,000 Other Than Temporary Impairment charge to recognize potential losses on these securities due to higher than anticipated defaults within their portfolios. At
December 31, 2009, the two securities have a combined market loss of approximately $552,000. Whole Loan CMOs that fail to maintain an AAA rating from S&P or Moodys are risked weighted 100%. See Note 2 of Notes to Audited
Financial Statements for further details.

Mortgage-backed securities typically are issued with stated principal amounts and
the securities are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans with interest rates that are within a range and have similar maturities. The underlying pool of mortgages can be composed of either fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgage loans.
Mortgage-backed securities generally are referred to as mortgage participation certificates or pass-through certificates. As a result, the interest rate risk characteristics of the underlying pool of mortgages, i.e., fixed-rate or adjustable-rate,
as well as prepayment risk, are passed on to the certificate holder. The life of a mortgage-backed pass-through security is equal to the life of the underlying mortgages.

The actual maturity of a mortgage-backed security varies, depending on when the mortgagors prepay or repay the underlying mortgages. Prepayments of the underlying mortgages may shorten the life of the
investment, thereby adversely affecting its yield to maturity and the related market value of the mortgage-backed security.

The yield is based upon the interest income and the amortization of the premium or accretion of the discount related to the mortgage-backed security. Premiums and discounts on mortgage-backed securities are amortized or accreted over the
estimated term of the securities using a level yield method. The prepayment assumptions used to determine the amortization period for premiums and discounts can significantly affect the yield of the mortgage-backed security, and these assumptions
are reviewed periodically to reflect the actual prepayment.

The actual prepayments of the underlying mortgages depend on many
factors, including the type of mortgage, the coupon rate, the age of the mortgages, the geographical location of the underlying real estate collateralizing the mortgages and general levels of market interest rates. The difference between the
interest rates on the underlying mortgages and the prevailing mortgage interest rates is an important determinant in the rate of prepayments. During periods of falling mortgage interest rates, prepayments generally increase, and, conversely, during
periods of rising mortgage interest rates, prepayments generally decrease. If the coupon rate of the underlying mortgage significantly exceeds the prevailing market interest rates offered for mortgage loans, refinancing generally increases and
accelerates the prepayment of the underlying mortgages. Prepayment experience is more difficult to estimate for adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities.

The following table sets forth the carrying value of the investment securities at the dates indicated.

Deposit Activity and Other Sources of Funds

General. Deposits are the primary source of the Banks funds for lending, investment activities and general operational purposes.
In addition to deposits, the Bank derives funds from loan principal and interest repayments, maturities of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities and interest payments thereon. Although loan repayments are a relatively stable source of
funds, deposit inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by general interest rates and money market conditions. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds, or on a longer term basis
for general corporate purposes. The Bank has access to borrow from the FHLB of Cincinnati, and the Bank will continue to have access to FHLB of Cincinnati advances. The Bank may rely upon retail deposits rather than borrowings as its primary source
of funding for future asset growth.

Deposits. The Bank attracts deposits principally from within its market area by
offering competitive rates on its deposit instruments, including money market accounts, passbook savings accounts, individual retirement accounts, and certificates of deposit which range in maturity from three months to five years. Deposit terms
vary according to the minimum balance required and the length of time the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate. Maturities, terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties for its deposit accounts are established by the Bank on a periodic
basis. The Bank reviews its deposit mix and pricing on a weekly basis. In determining the characteristics of its deposit accounts, the Bank considers the rates offered by competing institutions, lending and liquidity requirements, growth goals and
federal regulations.

The Bank has, on a limited basis, utilized brokered deposits to augment its funding requirements. At
December 31, 2009, the Bank had $83.3 million in brokered deposits as compared to $67.9 million at December 31, 2008. The Bank often chooses these to use longer termed brokered deposits as a substitute for local deposits which can be
expensive in the Banks local market. All brokered deposits are FDIC insured.

The Bank attempts to compete for deposits
with other institutions in its market area by offering competitively priced deposit instruments that are tailored to the needs of its customers. Additionally, the Bank seeks to meet customers needs by providing convenient customer service to
the community. With the exception of brokered deposits, substantially all of the Banks depositors are Kentucky or Tennessee residents who reside in the Banks market area.

Certificates of deposit at December 31, 2009
included approximately $266.8 million of deposits with balances of $100,000 or more, compared to $218.9 million and $143.6 million at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Such time deposits may be risky because their
continued presence in the Bank is dependent partially upon the rates paid by the Bank rather than any customer relationship and, therefore, may be withdrawn upon maturity if another institution offers higher interest rates. The Bank may be required
to resort to other funding sources such as borrowings or sales of its securities available for sale if the Bank believes that increasing its rates to maintain such deposits would adversely affect its operating results. At this time, the Bank does
not believe that it will need to significantly increase its deposit rates to maintain such certificates of deposit and, therefore, does not anticipate resorting to alternative funding sources. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

The following table sets forth the deposit activities of the Bank for the periods indicated.

Borrowings. Savings deposits historically have
been the primary source of funds for the Banks lending, investments and general operating activities. The Bank is authorized, however, to use advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati to supplement its supply of lendable funds and to meet deposit
withdrawal requirements. The FHLB of Cincinnati functions as a central reserve bank providing credit for savings institutions and certain other member financial institutions.

As a member of the FHLB System, the Bank is required to own stock in the FHLB of Cincinnati and is authorized to apply for advances.
Advances are pursuant to several different programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. The Bank has entered into a Cash Management Advance program with FHLB. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati were $102.5 million at December 31, 2009, and are secured by a blanket security agreement in which the Bank has pledged its 1-4 family first mortgage loans, multi-family residential real estate loans and
non-residential real estate loan held in the Banks loan portfolio.

On September 25, 2003, the Company issued
$10,310,000 in floating rate junior subordinated debentures with a thirty year maturity and callable at the Companys discretion quarterly after September 25, 2008. The subordinated debentures are priced at a variable rate equal to the
three month Libor (London Inter Bank Offering Rate) plus 3.10%. At December 31, 2009, the three-month Libor rate was 0.25%. The securities are immediately callable in the event of a change in tax or accounting law that has a significant
negative impact to issuing these securities.

---

For regulatory purposes, subordinated debentures may be treated as Tier I capital. Federal
regulations limit the use of subordinated debentures to 25% of total Tier I capital. Discussions among regulatory agencies are underway that may limit the current and future use of subordinated debentures as Tier I capital. The Companys
decision to issue subordinated debentures was in part influenced by potential regulatory actions in the future. The Company anticipates above average growth to continue and anticipates a time in the future when capital ratios are lower and
additional capital may be need.

In October of 2008, the Bank entered into an interest rate swap agreement. The agreement
calls for the Bank to pay a fixed rate of 4.17% until October 8, 2015, on $10 million and receive payment equal to the three month libor. The Bank then completed an intercompany transaction that transferred the swap to the Company, providing an
effective hedge for its variable rate subordinated debentures. At December 31, 2009, the cost to the Bank to terminate the swap is approximately $643,000.

Subsidiary Activities

As a federally chartered savings bank, the Bank is
permitted to invest an amount equal to 2% of its assets in subsidiaries, with an additional investment of 1% of assets where such investment serves primarily community, inner-city and community development purposes. The Banks lone subsidiary
is Fall and Fall Insurance Agency (Fall and Fall) of Fulton, Kentucky. Fall and Fall was acquired in the Fulton acquisition on September 5, 2002. The Banks investment in the agency is approximately $380,000.

Competition

The Bank faces
significant competition both in originating mortgage and other loans and in attracting deposits. The Bank competes for loans principally on the basis of interest rates, the types of loans it originates, the deposit products it offers and the quality
of services it provides to borrowers. The Bank also competes by offering products which are tailored to the local community. Its competition in originating real estate loans comes primarily from other savings institutions, commercial banks and
mortgage bankers making loans secured by real estate located in the Banks market area. Commercial banks, credit unions and finance companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending. Competition may increase as a result of the
continuing reduction of restrictions on the interstate operations of financial institutions.

At June 30, 2009, the Bank
had a 14.8% share of the deposit market in its combined markets. The Banks most significant competition across its entire market area was Branch Bank & Trust of North Carolina with a 10.4% deposit market share, U.S Bank National
Association with an 7.9% deposit market share and Regions Bank of Alabama with an 9.4% deposit market share. In addition, each market contains other community banks that provide competitive products and services within individual markets.

The Bank attracts its deposits through its eighteen offices primarily from the local community. Consequently, competition for
deposits is principally from other savings institutions, commercial banks and brokers in the local community as well as from credit unions. The Bank competes for deposits and loans by offering what it believes to be a variety of deposit accounts at
competitive rates, convenient business hours, a commitment to outstanding customer service and a well-trained staff. The Bank believes it has developed strong relationships with local realtors and the community in general.

The Bank is a community and retail-oriented financial institution. Management considers the Banks branch network and reputation for
financial strength and quality customer service as its major competitive advantage in attracting and retaining customers in its market area. A number of the Banks competitors have been acquired by statewide/nationwide banking organizations.
While the Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions which may have greater financial and marketing resources, management believes the Bank benefits by its community orientation and its long-standing relationship with many of
its customers.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, the Company and the Bank had 230 full-time and 10 part-time employees, none of whom were represented by a collective bargaining agreement. Management considers the
Banks relationships with its employees to be good.

TARP Preferred Stock and Warrant

On December 12, 2008, the Company received an $18.4 million investment from the United States Treasury in the form of preferred stock.
The terms of the investment included a 5% dividend for five years, increasing to 9% thereafter. The investment has no stated maturity but may be paid back in whole or part after three years without penalty. The investment may be paid back in less
than three years upon the Companys successful sale of an equal number of common equity. In addition to the dividend, the Treasury received 243,816 stock warrants that are immediately exercisable with a ten year maturity and a strike price of
$11.32. Given the current trading price of the Companys common stock, raising significant amounts of new capital would be highly dilutive to shareholders. The Company will continue to compare the cost and benefits of raising equity capital in
2010. The Company feels that it has an adequate level of capital to meeting its current operating needs. As the time approaches for the preferred stock dividend to increase to 9%, the Company will be more likely to raise additional equity capital.
Additional information on the United States Treasury Investment in HopFed Bancorp can be found in Note 17 of the audited financial statements.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

General

The Bank is examined and supervised by the Office of Thrift Supervision and is subject to examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution may engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations deposit insurance
funds and depositors. Under this system of federal regulation, financial institutions are periodically examined to ensure that they satisfy applicable standards with respect to their capital adequacy, assets, management, earnings, liquidity and
sensitivity to market interest rates. Following completion of its examination, the federal agency critiques the institutions operations and assigns its rating (known as an institutions CAMELS rating). Under federal law, an institution
may not disclose its CAMELS rating to the public. The Bank also is a member of and owns stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, which is one of the twelve regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank also is regulated to a
lesser extent by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, governing reserves to be maintained against deposits and other matters. The Office of Thrift Supervision will examine the Bank and prepare reports for the consideration of its
board of directors on any operating deficiencies. The Banks relationship with its depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by federal law and, to a much lesser extent, state law, especially in matters concerning the
ownership of deposit accounts and the form and content of the Banks loan documents.

Any change in these laws or
regulations, whether by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of Thrift Supervision or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on HopFed Bancorp, Inc., The Bank and their operations.

HopFed Bancorp, Inc., as a savings and loan holding company, is required to file certain reports with, is subject to examination by, and
otherwise must comply with rules and regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision. HopFed Bancorp, Inc. is also be subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.

Certain of the regulatory requirements that are applicable to the Bank and HopFed Bancorp, Inc. are described below. This description is not
intended to be a complete explanation of such statutes and regulations and their effects on the Bank and HopFed Bancorp, Inc. and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual statutes and regulations.

Federal Banking Regulation

Business Activities.A federal savings association derives its lending and investment powers from the Home Owners Loan
Act, as amended, and the regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Under these laws and regulations, the Bank may invest in mortgage loans secured by residential real estate without limitation as a percentage of assets, and may invest in
non-residential real estate loans up to 400% of capital in the aggregate, commercial business loans up to 20% of assets in the aggregate and consumer loans up to 35% of assets in the aggregate, and in certain types of debt securities and certain
other assets. The Bank also may establish subsidiaries that may engage in activities not otherwise permissible for the Bank, including real estate investment and securities and insurance brokerage.

Capital Requirements.Office of Thrift Supervision regulations require savings associations to meet three minimum capital
standards: a 1.5% tangible capital ratio, a 4.0% leverage ratio (3.0% for savings associations receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS rating system) and an 8.0% risk-based capital ratio.

The risk-based capital standard for savings associations requires the maintenance of Tier 1 (core) and total capital (which is defined
as core capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight
factor of 0% to 100%, assigned by the Office of Thrift Supervision, based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Core capital is defined as common stockholders equity (including retained earnings), certain noncumulative perpetual
preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles other than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit card relationships. The components of supplementary capital
currently include cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of
risk-weighted assets and up to 45% of net unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. Overall, the amount of supplementary capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of
core capital. Additionally, a savings association that retains credit risk in connection with an asset sale may be required to maintain additional regulatory capital because of the recourse back to the savings association. In assessing an
institutions capital adequacy, the Office of Thrift Supervision takes into consideration not only these numeric factors but also qualitative factors as well, and has the authority to establish higher capital requirements for individual
associations where necessary.

At December 31, 2009, the Banks capital exceeded all applicable requirements.

Loans-to-One Borrower.Generally, a federal savings association may not make a loan or extend
credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be loaned, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which
generally does not include real estate. As of December 31, 2009, the Banks largest lending relationship with a single or related group of borrowers totaled $9.4 million, which represented 10.5% of unimpaired capital and surplus.
Therefore, the Bank was in compliance with the loans-to-one borrower limitations.

Qualified Thrift Lender
Test.As a federal savings association, the Bank must satisfy the qualified thrift lender, or QTL, test. Under the QTL test, the Bank must maintain at least 65% of its portfolio assets in qualified
thrift investments (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including mortgage-backed securities) in at least nine months of the most recent 12-month period. Portfolio assets generally means total assets of a
savings institution, less the sum of specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, and the value of property used in the conduct of the savings associations business.

The Bank also may satisfy the QTL test by qualifying as a domestic building and loan association as defined in the Internal
Revenue Code.

A savings association that fails the qualified thrift lender test must either convert to a bank charter or
operate under specified restrictions set forth in the Home Owners Loan Act. At December 31, 2009, the Bank maintained approximately 79% of its portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and, therefore, satisfied the QTL test.

Capital Distributions.Office of Thrift Supervision regulations
govern capital distributions by a federal savings association, which include cash dividends, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the capital account. A savings association must file an application for approval of a capital
distribution if:



| |  |  | the total capital distributions for the applicable calendar year exceed the sum of the savings associations net income for that year to date plus
the savings associations retained net income for the preceding two years;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the savings association would not be at least adequately capitalized following the distribution;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the distribution would violate any applicable statute, regulation, agreement or Office of Thrift Supervision-imposed condition; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the savings association is not eligible for expedited treatment of its filings.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even if an application is not otherwise required, every savings association that is a subsidiary of a holding company must still file a
notice with the Office of Thrift Supervision at least 30 days before the board of directors declares a dividend or approves a capital distribution.

The Office of Thrift Supervision may disapprove a notice or application if:



| |  |  | the savings association would be undercapitalized following the distribution;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness concerns; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation or agreement.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Federal Deposit Insurance Act provides that an insured depository institution shall not make any capital distribution, if after making
such distribution the institution would be undercapitalized.

In addition, the Company is subject to a restriction and
condition that it will not declare any future dividend payable to its common stockholders without prior approval from the Office of Thrift Supervision.

Liquidity. The Bank maintains sufficient liquidity to ensure safe and sound operation in accordance with Office of Thrift Supervision regulations.

Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws. All federal savings associations have a responsibility under the Community
Reinvestment Act and related regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income borrowers. In connection with its examination of a federal savings association, the
Office of Thrift Supervision is required to assess the savings associations record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from discriminating
in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those statutes. A savings associations failure to comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in denial of certain corporate
applications such as branches or mergers, or in restrictions on its activities. The failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions by the Office of Thrift Supervision, as well as
other federal regulatory agencies and the Department of Justice. The Bank received a satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act rating in its most recent federal examination. The Community Reinvestment Act requires all Federal Deposit
Insurance  insured institutions to publicly disclose their ratings.

Transactions with Related Parties. A
federal savings associations authority to engage in transactions with its affiliates is limited by Office of Thrift Supervision regulations and by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and its implementing Regulation W promulgated by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. An affiliate is a company that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with an insured depository institution such as the Bank. HopFed Bancorp, Inc. is an affiliate of the Bank. In
general, loan transactions between an insured depository institution and its affiliates are subject to certain quantitative and collateral requirements. In this regard, transactions between an insured depository institution and its affiliates are
limited to 10% of the institutions unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus for transactions with any one affiliate and 20% of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus for transactions in the aggregate with all affiliates. Collateral of
specific types and in specified amounts ranging from 10% to 130% of the amount of the transaction must usually be provided by affiliates in order to receive loans from the savings association. In addition, Office of Thrift



23



---

Supervision regulations prohibit a savings association from lending to any of its affiliates
that are engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and from purchasing the securities of any affiliate, other than a subsidiary. Finally, transactions with affiliates must be consistent with safe and sound banking
practices, not involve low-quality assets and be on terms that are as favorable to the institution as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. The Office of Thrift Supervision requires savings associations to maintain detailed records of all
transactions with affiliates.

The Banks authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers and 10%
stockholders, as well as to entities controlled by such persons, is currently governed by the requirements of Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve Board. Among other things, these
provisions generally require that extensions of credit to insiders:



| | (i) | be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable
transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features; and
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of
the Banks capital.
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, extensions of credit in excess of certain limits must be approved by the
Banks board of directors.

Enforcement. The Office of Thrift Supervision has primary enforcement
responsibility over federal savings institutions and has the authority to bring enforcement action against all institution-affiliated parties, including stockholders, and attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly
participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an insured institution. Formal enforcement action by the Office of Thrift Supervision may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order, to removal of
officers and/or directors of the institution and the appointment of a receiver or conservator. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and actions, and range up to $25,000 per day, unless a finding of reckless disregard is made, in which
case penalties may be as high as $1.0 million per day. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation also has the authority to terminate deposit insurance or to recommend to the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision that enforcement action be
taken with respect to a particular savings institution. If action is not taken by the Director, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to take action under specified circumstances.

Standards for Safety and Soundness. Federal law requires each federal banking agency to prescribe certain standards for all
insured depository institutions. These standards relate to, among other things, internal controls, information systems and audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, compensation, and other
operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. The federal banking agencies adopted Interagency Guidelines Prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness to implement the safety and soundness standards required under federal
law. The guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the appropriate federal banking agency
determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If an institution fails to meet these
standards, the appropriate federal banking agency may require the institution to submit an acceptable compliance plan. Failure to implement such a plan can result in further enforcement action, including the issuance of a cease and desist order or
the imposition of civil money penalties.

Prompt Corrective Action Regulations. Under the prompt
corrective action regulations, the Office of Thrift Supervision is required and authorized to take supervisory actions against undercapitalized savings associations. For this purpose, a savings association is placed in one of the following five
categories based on the savings associations capital:



| |  |  | well-capitalized (at least 5% leverage capital, 6% Tier 1 risk-based capital and 10% total risk-based capital);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adequately capitalized (at least 4% leverage capital, 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital and 8% total risk-based capital);
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



24



---

| |  |  | undercapitalized (less than 8% total risk-based capital, 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital or 3% leverage capital);
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | significantly undercapitalized (less than 6% total risk-based capital, 3% Tier 1 risk-based capital or 3% leverage capital); and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | critically undercapitalized (less than 2% tangible capital).
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------

Generally, the banking regulator is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for a savings association that is critically
undercapitalized within specific time frames. The regulations also provide that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision within 45 days of the date a savings association receives notice that it is
undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized. The criteria for an acceptable capital restoration plan include, among other things, the establishment of the methodology and
assumptions for attaining adequately capitalized status on an annual basis, procedures for ensuring compliance with restrictions imposed by applicable federal regulations, the identification of the types and levels of activities in which the savings
association will engage while the capital restoration plan is in effect, and assurances that the capital restoration plan will not appreciably increase the current risk profile of the savings association. Any holding company for the savings
association required to submit a capital restoration plan must guarantee the lesser of an amount equal to 5% of the savings associations assets at the time it was notified or deemed to be undercapitalized by the Office of Thrift Supervision,
or the amount necessary to restore the savings association to adequately capitalized status. This guarantee remains in place until the Office of Thrift Supervision notifies the savings association that it has maintained adequately capitalized status
for each of four consecutive calendar quarters, and the Office of Thrift Supervision has the authority to require payment and collect payment under the guarantee. Failure by a holding company to provide the required guarantee will result in certain
operating restrictions on the savings association, such as restrictions on the ability to declare and pay dividends, pay executive compensation and management fees, and increase assets or expand operations. The Office of Thrift Supervision may also
take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions against undercapitalized associations, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors. At December 31, 2009, the Bank
met the criteria for being considered well-capitalized.

Insurance of Deposit Accounts.The Banks deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Under the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations risk-based assessment system, insured institutions are assigned to one of four risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other factors, with less risky
institutions paying lower assessments. No institution may pay a dividend if it is in default of the federal deposit insurance assessment.

For 2008, assessments ranged from five to forty-three basis points of assessable deposits. Due to losses incurred by the Deposit Insurance Fund in 2008 from failed institutions, and anticipated future
losses, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, pursuant to a Restoration Plan to replenish the fund, adopted an across the board seven basis point increase in the assessment range for the first quarter of 2009. The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation adopted further refinements to its risk-based assessment that were effective April 1, 2009 and effectively make the range seven to 771/2basis points. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has also provided for the possibility of two additional special assessments for the
final two quarters of 2009, if deemed necessary.

Due to the recent difficult economic conditions, deposit insurance
per account owner has been raised to $250,000 for all types of accounts until January 1, 2014. In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation adopted an optional Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program by which, for a fee,
noninterest-bearing transaction accounts would receive unlimited insurance coverage, and certain senior unsecured debt issued by institutions and their holding companies would temporarily be guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The Bank made the business decision not to participate in the unlimited noninterest-bearing transaction account coverage and also opted not to participate in the unsecured debt guarantee program.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may pay dividends to insured institutions once the Deposit Insurance Fund reserve ratio equals or
exceeds 1.35% of estimated insured deposits. In addition to the assessment for deposit insurance, institutions are required to make payments on bonds issued in the late 1980s by the Financing Corporation to recapitalize a predecessor deposit
insurance fund.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to increase insurance assessments. A
significant increase in insurance premiums would likely have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of the Bank. Management cannot predict what insurance assessment rates will be in the future.

Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation upon a finding that an institution has engaged in
unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The management of The Bank does
not know of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of its deposit insurance.

U.S.
Treasurys Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 provides the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury with broad authority to implement certain actions to help restore
stability and liquidity to U.S. financial markets. One of the programs resulting from the legislation is the Troubled Asset Relief Program/Capital Purchase Program, or CPP, which provides direct equity investment by the U.S. Treasury Department in
perpetual preferred stock of qualified financial institutions. The program is voluntary and requires an institution to comply with a number of restrictions and provisions, including limits on executive compensation, stock redemptions and declaration
of dividends. The CPP provides for a minimum investment of 1.0% of total risk-weighted assets and a maximum investment equal to the lesser of three percent of total risk-weighted assets or $25 billion. Participation in the program is not automatic
and is subject to approval by the U.S. Treasury Department. We opted to participate in the CPP.

Prohibitions Against
Tying Arrangements. Federal savings associations are prohibited, subject to some exceptions, from extending credit to or offering any other service, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service, on
the condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the institution or its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor of the institution.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank System provides a
central credit facility primarily for member institutions. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, the Bank is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank. As of December 31, 2009, the Bank
was in compliance with this requirement.

Holding Company Regulation

General. HopFed Bancorp,
Inc. is a non-diversified savings and loan holding company within the meaning of the Home Owners Loan Act. As such, HopFed Bancorp, Inc. is registered with the Office of Thrift Supervision and subject to Office of Thrift Supervision
regulations, examinations, supervision and reporting requirements. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision has enforcement authority over HopFed Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Among other things, this authority permits the Office of
Thrift Supervision to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings institution. Unlike bank holding companies, federal savings and loan holding companies are not subject to any regulatory capital
requirements or to supervision by the Federal Reserve Board.

Permissible Activities.Under present law, the
business activities of HopFed Bancorp, Inc. are generally limited to those activities permissible for financial holding companies under Section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, or for multiple savings and loan holding
companies. A financial holding company may engage in activities that are financial in nature, including underwriting equity securities and insurance as well as activities that are incidental to financial activities or complementary to a financial
activity. A multiple savings and loan holding company is generally limited to activities permissible for bank holding companies under Section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act, subject to the prior approval of the Office of Thrift
Supervision, and certain additional activities authorized by Office of Thrift Supervision regulations.

Federal law prohibits
a savings and loan holding company, including HopFed Bancorp, Inc., directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, from acquiring more than 5.0% of another savings institution or holding company thereof, without prior written approval
of the Office of Thrift Supervision. It also prohibits the acquisition or retention of, with certain exceptions, more than 5.0% of a non-subsidiary company engaged in activities that are not closely related to banking or financial in nature, or
acquiring or retaining control of an institution that is not federally insured. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Office of Thrift Supervision must consider the financial and managerial resources,
future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the federal deposit insurance fund, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors.



27



---

The Office of Thrift Supervision is prohibited from approving any acquisition that would
result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings institutions in more than one state, subject to two exceptions:



| | (i) | the approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies; and
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | the acquisition of a savings institution in another state if the laws of the state of the target savings institution specifically permit such acquisition.
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company acquisitions.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. As
directed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are required to certify that our quarterly and annual reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act have several requirements, including having these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting; they have made certain disclosures to our auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors about our internal control over financial reporting; and they have included information in our quarterly and annual reports
about their evaluation and whether there have been changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect internal control over financial reporting.

|Item 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

The Company could
experience an increase in loan losses, which would reduce the Companys earnings.

As the nation continues to suffer
from an economic recession, real estate prices remain under pressure in the Companys market. Furthermore, elevated levels of unemployment have made it difficult for many consumers to meet their monthly obligations. The deployment of military
personnel out of Fort Campbell to the Middle East may reduce both demand for and pricing of all types of real estate in the Companys largest market. As a lender, we are exposed to the risk that our customers will be unable to repay their loans
according to their terms and that any collateral securing the payment of their loans may not be sufficient to assure repayment. As discussed in Footnote 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has significant exposure to
various types of real estate loans, including commercial real estate, land and land development loans, construction loans, multi-family

real estate and loans for residential homes. Credit losses are inherent in the business of making loans and our industry has seen above average loan loss levels for approximately eighteen months.
While the Company believes that its loan underwriting standards have been and remain sound, the Company has experienced an increase in charge offs and non-performing loans. To the extent charge offs exceed our financial models, increased amounts
charged to the provision for loan losses would reduce net income.

Rapidly changing interest rate environments could reduce our net
interest margin, net interest income, fee income and net income.

Interest and fees on loans and securities, net of
interest paid on deposits and borrowings, are a large part of our net income. Interest rates are the key drivers of the Companys net interest margin and subject to many factors beyond the control of management. As interest rates change, net
interest income is affected. Rapid increases in interest rates in the future could result in interest expense increasing faster than interest income because of mismatches in the maturities of the Companys assets and liabilities. Furthermore,
substantially higher rates generally reduce loan demand and may result in slower loan growth. Decreases or increases in interest rates could have a negative effect on the spreads between interest rates earned on assets and the rates of interest paid
on liabilities, and therefore decrease net interest income. See Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Liquidity needs could adversely affect the Companys results of operations and financial condition.

The
Company relies on dividends from the Bank as a primary source of funds. The Banks primary source of funds is customer deposits and cash flows from investment instruments and loan repayments. While scheduled loan repayments are a relatively
stable source, they are subject to the ability of the borrowers to repay their loans. The ability of the borrowers to repay their loans can be adversely affected by a number of factors, including changes in the economic conditions, adverse trends or
events affecting the business environment, natural disasters and various other factors. Cash flows from the investment portfolio may be affected by changes in interest rates, resulting in excessive levels of cash flow during periods of declining
interest rates and lower levels of cash flow during periods of rising interest rates. Deposit levels may be affected by a number of factors, including both the national market and local competitive interest rate environment, local and national
economic conditions, natural disasters and other various events. Accordingly, the Company may be required from time to time to rely on secondary sources of liquidity to meet withdrawal demands or otherwise fund operations. Such sources include the
FHLB advances, brokered deposits and federal funds lines of credit from correspondent banks.

The Company may also pledge
investments as collateral to borrow money from third parties. In certain cases, the Company may sell investment instruments for sizable losses to meet liquidity needs, hurting net income. While the Company believes that these sources are currently
adequate, there can be no assurance they will be sufficient to meet future liquidity needs.

The financial industry is very competitive.

We face competition in attracting and retaining deposits, making loans, and providing other financial services throughout
our market area. Our competitors include other community banks, regional and super-regional banking institutions, national banking institutions, and a wide range of other financial institutions such as credit unions, government-sponsored
enterprises, mutual fund companies, insurance companies, brokerage companies, and other non-bank businesses. Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources than HopFed Bancorp, Inc.

Inability to hire or retain certain key professionals, management and staff could adversely affect our revenues and net income.

We rely on key personnel to manage and operate our business, including major revenue generating functions such as our loan and deposit
portfolios. The loss of key staff may adversely affect our ability to maintain and manage these portfolios effectively, which could negatively affect our revenues. In addition, loss of key personnel could result in increased recruiting, hiring, and
training expenses, resulting in lower net income.

The Company is subject to extensive regulation that can limit or restrict its activities.

The Company operates in a highly regulated industry and is subject to examination, supervision, and comprehensive regulation by various
federal agencies, including the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Companys regulatory compliance is costly. Certain types of activities, including the declaration and payment of dividends, mergers
and acquisitions, investments, lending (including the amount and types of loans originated), interest rates charged, and interest rates paid are subject to regulatory approval and may be limited by regulation or the supervisory authority of the
regulators. The Company currently is subject to a restriction that it will not declare any future common stock dividend without prior Office of Thrift Supervision approval.

The Company is also subject to capitalization guidelines established by its regulators, which require it and the Bank to maintain adequate
capital to support its and the Banks growth.

The laws and regulations applicable to the banking industry could change
at any time, and the Company cannot predict the effects of these changes on its business. To the extent activities of the Company and/or the Bank are restricted or limited by regulation or regulators supervisory authority, the Companys
future profitability may be adversely affected.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the related rules and regulations
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ Global Market that are now and will be applicable to the Company, have increased the scope, complexity, and cost of corporate governance, reporting and disclosure practices. As a
result, the Company has experienced, and may continue to experience, greater compliance cost.

Even though the Companys common stock
is currently traded on The NASDAQ National Market, the trading volume in the Companys common stock has been low and the sale of substantial amounts of its common stock in the public market could depress the price of the Companys common
stock.

The trading volume of the Companys common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market has been relatively low when
compared with larger companies listed on The NASDAQ Global Market or other stock exchanges. Thinly traded stocks, such as the Companys, can be more volatile than stocks trading in an active public market. Because of this, the Company
stockholders may not be able to sell their shares at the volumes, prices, or times that they desire.

The Company cannot
predict the effect, if any, that future sales of its common stock in the market, or availability of shares of its common stock for sale in the market, will have on the market prices of the Companys common stock. The Company, therefore, can
give no assurance that sales of substantial amounts of its common stock in the market, or the potential for large amounts of sale in the market, would not cause the price of its common stock to decline or impair the Companys ability to raise
capital through sales of its common stock.

The market price of the Companys common stock may fluctuate in the future,
and these fluctuations may be unrelated to its performance. General market prices declines or overall market volatility in the future could adversely affect the price of the Companys common stock, and the current market price may not be
indicative of future market prices.

The current banking crisis, including the enactment of Emergency Economic Stabilization Action (EESA)
and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), have significantly affected our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or stock price.

The capital and credit markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption for more than a year. In recent months, the volatility and disruption has reached unprecedented levels. In some cases, the
markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit availability for certain issuers seeming without regard to those issuers underlying financial strength.

EESA, which established the TARP, was signed into law in October 2008. As part of TARP, the Treasury established the Capital Purchase
Program (CPP) to provide up to $700 billion of funding to eligible financial institutions through the purchase of preferred shares and other financial instruments with the stated purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial
markets. On December 12, 2008, the Company accepted an $18.4 million treasury investment of preferred stock with terms that included a 5% dividend that increases to 9% after five years. The Company issued 243,816 common stock warrants that are
immediately issued and have a strike price of $11.32 and have a ten year maturity.

On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed ARRA, an economic recovery package
intended to stimulate the economy and provide for a broad range of infrastructure, energy, health and educational needs. There can be no assurance as to the actual impact that EESA or its programs, including the CPP, and the ARRA or its programs,
will have on the national economy or financial markets. The failure of these significant legislative measures to help stabilize the financial markets and the continuation or worsening of current financial market conditions may materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, access to credit or the trading price of our common shares.

In February 2009, the FDIC established a revised rate structure for all member banks. The rate structure includes significant increases in quarterly fees charged to banks as well as a one-time fee of approximately $480,000 that was charged
September 30, 2009 for deposit balances at June 30, 2009. In addition, the Company was required to prepay approximately $4.3 million in fees to the FDIC, representing estimated quarterly fees for the three month periods beginning
October 1, 2009, and ending December 31, 2012. The revised rate structure will result in a significant increase in operating expenses and lower levels of net income. The Company can not determine the extent of future regulator fee
increases and emergency assessments required by the FDIC.

The Company conducts virtually all of its business activities in a
geographically concentrated area of Middle and West Tennessee and Western Kentucky.

The Company operates eighteen offices
located in Middle Tennessee and Western Kentucky. The Company maintains significant business relationships in the markets in which it operates as well as the communities adjoining our offices. Therefore, the Companys success is directly tied
to the economic viability of our markets which may not be representative of the country as a whole. In 2009, the Companys market had unemployment rates ranging from 10% to 15%. While the Company believes that its credit quality has been strong
given the current environment, continued economic stress in the market may result in an increase in non-performing loans and charge offs. Given the limited geographic footprint of our Company, the economic conditions in our marketplace may not be
reflective of the entire nation.

Managements analysis of the necessary funding for the allowance for loan loss account may be
incorrect or may suddenly change, resulting in lower earnings.

The funding of the allowance for loan loss account is the
most significant estimate made by management in its financial reporting to shareholders and regulators. If negative changes to the performance of the Companys loan portfolio were to occur, management may find it necessary or be required to
funding the allowance for loan loss account through additional charges to the Companys provision for loan loss expense. These changes may occur suddenly and be dramatic in nature. These changes are likely to affect the Companys financial
performance, capital levels and stock price.

Management Report on Internal Control

The management of HopFed Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries Heritage Bank, (collectively referred to the as Company) is responsible for the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of published
financial statements and all other information presented in this annual report. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and, as such, include
amounts based on informed judgments and estimates made by management.



35



---

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting for financial presentations in conformity with GAAP. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision
of, the Companys Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and
included those policies and procedures that:



| |  |  | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Company.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and Directors of the Company; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Companys assets that
could have a material effect on the financial statements.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All internal control systems, no matter how well
designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures include in such controls may deteriorate.

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 based on the control criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control
 Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on such evaluation, we have concluded that HopFed Bancorps internal control over financial reporting is effective as of
December 31, 2009.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that
permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.
