NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.            Summary of Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (the "Company") and its subsidiary, Home Federal Bank ("Home Federal Bank" or the "Bank").  These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the sixnine month period ended DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2015, is not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2015.

The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB"). The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.  References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification" or the "ASC").

In accordance with the subsequent events topic of the ASC, the Company evaluates events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date for potential recognition in the financial statements.  The effect of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements as of DecemberMarch 31, 2014.2015.  In preparing these financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions that occurred through the date these financial statements were issued.

Use of Estimates

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the allowance for loan losses.

Nature of Operations

Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana, a Louisiana corporation, is the fully public stock holding company for Home Federal Bank located in Shreveport, Louisiana.  The Bank is a federally chartered, stock savings and loan association and is subject to federal regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.  The Company is a savings and loan holding company regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Services are provided to the Bank's customers by five full-service banking offices and one agency office, located in Caddo and Bossier Parishes, Louisiana.  The area served by the Bank is primarily the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area; however, loan and deposit customers are found dispersed in a wider geographical area covering much of northwest Louisiana. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2015, the Bank had one wholly-owned subsidiary, Metro Financial Services, Inc., which previously engaged in the sale of annuity contracts and does not currently engage in a meaningful amount of business.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances due from banks, and federal funds sold, all of which mature within ninety days.

1.            Summary of Accounting Policies (continued)

Securities

The Company classifies its debt and equity investment securities into one of three categories:  held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading.  Investments in nonmarketable equity securities and debt securities, in which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost.  Investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity and marketable equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are classified as either trading or available-for-sale securities.  Securities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term are classified as trading securities.  Investments in securities not classified as trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale.

Trading account and available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value.  Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings while net unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income.  Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of the securities.  Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.  In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.  Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

Loans Held-for-Sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate.  Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Loans

Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances, less allowances for loan losses and unamortized deferred loan fees.  Net nonrefundable fees (loan origination fees, commitment fees, discount points) and costs associated with lending activities are being deferred and subsequently amortized into income as an adjustment of yield on the related interest earning assets using the interest method.  Interest income on contractual loans receivable is recognized on the accrual method.  Unearned discount on property improvement and automobile loans is deferred and amortized on the interest method over the life of the loan.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of the underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions.  The evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

1.            Summary of Accounting Policies (continued)

Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information or events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  When a loan is impaired, the measurement of such impairment is based upon the present value of expected future cash flows or the fair value of the collateral of the loan.  If the present value of expected future cash flows or fair value of the collateral is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Bank will recognize the impairment by creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge against earnings.

An allowance is also established for uncollectible interest on loans classified as substandard.  The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received.  When, in management's judgment, the borrower's ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is back to normal, the loan is returned to accrual status.

It should be understood that estimates of future loan losses involve an exercise of judgment.  While it is possible that in particular periods the Company may sustain losses which are substantial relative to the allowance for loan losses, it is the judgment of management that the allowance for loan losses reflected in the accompanying statements of condition is adequate to absorb possible losses in the existing loan portfolio.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments to extend credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Foreclosed Assets

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held-for-sale and are transferred to other real estate owned at the lower of cost or current fair value minus estimated cost to sell as of the date of foreclosure.  Cost is defined as the lower of the fair value of the property or the recorded investment in the loan.  Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost.  Buildings and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Income Taxes

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary file a consolidated Federal income tax return on a fiscal year basis.  Each entity pays its pro-rata share of income taxes in accordance with a written tax-sharing agreement.

The Company accounts for income taxes on the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, computed using enacted tax rates.  A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the expected amount most likely to be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of a sufficient level of future taxable income and recoverable taxes paid in prior years.  Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.  Current taxes are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to taxable income to determine the amount of taxes receivable or payable.

1.            Summary of Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Taxes (continued)

While the Bank is exempt from Louisiana income tax, it is subject to the Louisiana Ad Valorem Tax, commonly referred to as the Louisiana Shares Tax, which is based on stockholders' equity and net income.

Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income.  Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The amendments in this Update clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments in this Update using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method.  This ASU isdid not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period.  The new guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition.   ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted.  The Company's current accounting treatment of performance conditions for employees who are or become eligible prior to the achievement of the performance target are consistent with ASU 2014-12, and as such does not expect the new guidance to have a material effect on the Corporation's financial condition and results of operations.  The Company expects to prospectively adoptadopted ASU 2014-12 in the first quarter of 2015.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40).  The amendments in this Update require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if the following conditions are met:  (1) the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure, (2) at the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make a claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under that claim, and (3) at the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed.  Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor.  The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014.  This Update did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

1.Summary of Accounting Policies (continued)

On January 1, 2015 the Louisiana Business Corporation Act (the Act) became effective.  Under the provisions of the Act, there is no concept of "Treasury Shares".  Rather, shares purchased by the Company constitute authorized but unissued shares.  Under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 505-30, Treasury Stock, accounting for treasury stock shall conform to state law.  Accordingly, the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of March 31, 2015 reflects this change.  The cost of shares purchased by the Company has been allocated to Common Stock and Retained Earnings balances.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company segregates loans into risk categories based on the pertinent information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as:  current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors.  The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans according to credit risk.  Loans classified as substandard or identified as special mention are reviewed quarterly by management to evaluate the level of deterioration, improvement, and impairment, if any, as well as assign the appropriate risk category.

3.            Loans Receivable (continued)

Credit Quality Indicators (continued)

Loans excluded from the scope of the quarterly review process above are generally identified as pass credits until:  (a) they become past due; (b) management becomes aware of deterioration in the credit worthiness of the borrower; or (c) the customer contacts the Company for a modification.  In these circumstances, the loan is specifically evaluated for potential classification and the need to allocate reserves or charge-off.  The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention - Loans identified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date.

Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and payment capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss - This classification includes those loans which are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.  Even though partial recovery may be possible in the future, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these basically worthless loans.  Accordingly, these loans are charged-off before period end.

The following tables present the grading of loans, segregated by class of loans, as of DecemberMarch 31, 20142015 and June 30, 2014:

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when contractually due.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays or payment shortfalls are generally not classified as impaired.  On a case-by-case basis, management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls, taking into consideration all of the circumstances related to the loan, including:  the length of the payment delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

8.            Fair Value Disclosures

The following disclosure is made in accordance with the requirements of ASC 825, Financial Instruments.  Financial instruments are defined as cash and contractual rights and obligations that require settlement, directly or indirectly, in cash.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values have been estimated using the present value of future cash flows or other valuation techniques.  The results of these techniques are highly sensitive to the assumptions used, such as those concerning appropriate discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, which require considerable judgment.  Accordingly, estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current settlement of the underlying financial instruments.

ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.  These disclosures should not be interpreted as representing an aggregate measure of the underlying value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amount approximates the fair value of cash and cash equivalents.

Securities to be Held-to-Maturity and Available-for-Sale
Fair values for investment securities, including mortgage-backed securities, are based on quoted market prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.  The carrying values of restricted or non-marketable equity securities approximate their fair values.  The carrying amount of accrued investment income approximates its fair value.

Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale
Because these loans are normally disposed of within ninety days of origination, their carrying value closely approximates the fair value of such loans.

Loans Receivable
For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant changes in credit risk, fair value approximates the carrying value.  Fair values for other loans are estimated using the discounted value of expected future cash flows. Interest rates used are those being offered currently for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Deposit Liabilities
The fair values for demand deposit accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, that is, their carrying amounts.  Fair values for other deposit accounts are estimated using the discounted value of expected future cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar maturities.

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank
The carrying amount of short-term borrowings approximates their fair value.  The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowing arrangements.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit-Related Instruments
Fair values for outstanding mortgage loan commitments to lend are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining term of the agreements, customer credit quality, and changes in lending rates.

The estimated fair values presented above could be materially different than net realizable value and are only indicative of the individual financial instrument's fair value.  Accordingly, these estimates should not be considered an indication of the fair value of the Company taken as a whole.

The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820").  ASC 820 affirms a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  ASC 820 was issued to establish a uniform definition of fair value.  The definition of fair value is market-based as opposed to company-specific, and includes the following:

·Defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in either case, through an orderly transaction between market participants at a measurement date and establishes a framework for measuring fair value;

·Establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date;

·Nullifies the guidance in EITF 02-3, which required the deferral of profit at inception of a transaction involving a derivative financial instrument in the absence of observable data supporting the valuation technique;

·Eliminates large position discounts for financial instruments quoted in active markets and requires consideration of the company's creditworthiness when valuing liabilities; and

·Expands disclosures about instrument that are measured at fair value.

8.            Fair Value Disclosures (continued)

The standard establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements.  The valuation hierarchy favors the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.  The three levels are defined as follows:

·Level 1 – Fair value is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets in which the Company can participate.

·Level 2 – Fair value is based upon (a) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or in which little information is released publicly; (c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability or (d) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

·
Level 3 – Fair value is based upon inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.  These inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).  These inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which include the Company's own data. The Company's own data used to develop unobservable inputs are adjusted if information indicates that market participants would use different assumptions.

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair values of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at DecemberMarch 31, 20142015 and June 30, 2014 are as follows:

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

General

The Company's results of operations are primarily dependent on the results of the Bank, which became a wholly owned subsidiary upon completion of the second-step conversion and reorganization of the Bank on December 22, 2010. The Bank's results of operations depend, to a large extent, on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan and investment portfolios and the cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings.  Results of operations are also affected by provisions for loan losses and loan sale activities.  Non-interest expense principally consists of compensation and employee benefits, office occupancy and equipment expense, data processing and other expense.  Our results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.  Future changes in applicable law, regulations or government policies may materially impact our financial conditions and results of operations.

Home Federal Bank operates from its main office in Shreveport, Louisiana, fourfive full service branch offices and an agency office located in Shreveport and Bossier City, Louisiana.  The Company's primary market area is the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area.  The Company offers security brokerage and advisory services through a third party provider at its agency office, which also serves as the office for the commercial lending division and as a loan production office.  During the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Bank opened its fifth full service banking office in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Critical Accounting Policies

Allowance for Loan Losses.  The Company has identified the calculation of the allowance for loan losses as a critical accounting policy, due to the higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies.  Provisions for loan losses are based upon management's periodic valuation and assessment of the overall loan portfolio and the underlying collateral, trends in non-performing loans, current economic conditions and other relevant factors in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level believed by management to represent all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable.  Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate which is subject to significant judgment and short-term change.

Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method.  Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.  The realization of our deferred tax assets principally depends upon our achieving projected future taxable income.  We may change our judgments regarding future profitability due to future market conditions and other factors.  We may adjust our deferred tax asset balances if our judgments change.

Net interest income for the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20142015 was $6.1$9.2 million, an increase of $746,000,$1.2 million, or 14.0%14.7%, in comparison to $8.0 million for the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2013.2014.  The increase in net interest income for the sixnine month period was primarily due to a $711,000,$1.2 million, or 10.8%12.4%, increase in total interest income, andpartially offset by a $35,000,$37,000, or 2.8%2.1%, decreaseincrease in interest expense on borrowings and deposits due to an overall declineincrease in the average cost of funds.Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.  The Company's average interest rate spread was 3.64%3.61% for the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2015, compared to 3.66%3.68% for the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2013.2014. The Company's net interest margin was 3.83%3.79% for the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2015, compared to 3.91% for the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2013.2014.  The decrease in net interest margin and average interest rate spread is attributable primarily to a lower average yield on interest earning assets.

Provision for Losses on Loans

Based on an analysis of historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by Home Federal Bank, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to our market area and other factors related to the collectability of Home Federal Bank's loan portfolio, a provision for loan losses of $80,000$90,000 and $120,000$210,000 was made during the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2015, respectively, compared to a $22,000$30,000 and $88,000$118,000 provision made during the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2013,2014,  respectively.   The allowance for loan losses was $2.4$2.5 million, or 0.90%0.92% of total loans, at DecemberMarch 31, 20142015 compared to $2.3$2.4 million, or 1.08%1.1%, of total loans at DecemberMarch 31, 2013.2014.  At DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2015, Home Federal Bank had fourthree non-performing loans in the aggregate amount of $171,000$144,000 and no other non-performing assets or troubled-debt restructurings.  At DecemberMarch 31, 2013,2014, Home Federal had five non-performing loans in the aggregate amount of $565,000.$294,000.  There can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance will be sufficient to cover losses on non-performing assets in the future.

Non-interest Income

Total non-interest income amounted to $594,000$946,000 for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2015, an increase of $25,000$319,000 or 4.4%50.9% compared to $569,000$627,000 for the same period in 2013.2014.  The increase was due to an increase of $34,000 in service charges on deposit accounts, $11,000$421,000 in gain on sale of loans and $7,000an increase of $31,000 in other non-interest income,service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by decreases of $24,000$129,000 in gain on sale of securitiesreal estate and $3,000 in income on bank owned life insurance compared to the same period in 2013.2014.  The primary reason for the increase in gain on sale of loans was a change in the accrual methodology that resulted in the recognition of gains during the current period on execution of the sales agreement rather than at the time sales proceeds were received.

Total non-interest income amounted to $1.22$2.2 million for the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2015, an increase of $52,000,$371,000, or 4.4%20.6%, compared to $1.17$1.8 million for the same period in 2013.2014.  The increase was primarily due to increases of $59,000$428,000 in gain on sale of loans due to the change in accrual methodology as discussed above, $90,000 in service charges on deposit accounts and $15,000 in other non-interest income, and $7,000partially offset by a $129,000 decrease in gain on sale of loans, partially offset byreal estate, a $24,000$25,000 decrease in gain on sale of securities and a $5,000an $8,000 decrease in income on bank owned life insurance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Home Federal Bank maintains levels of liquid assets deemed adequate by management.  The Bank adjusts its liquidity levels to fund deposit outflows, repay its borrowings and to fund loan commitments.  Home Federal Bank also adjusts liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives.

Home Federal Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, loan sales and earnings and funds provided from operations.  While scheduled principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.  The Bank sets the interest rates on its deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits.  In addition, Home Federal Bank invests excess funds in short-term interest-earning accounts and other assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.  Home Federal Bank's deposit accounts with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas amounted to $159,000$221,000 at DecemberMarch 31, 2014.2015.

A significant portion of Home Federal Bank's liquidity consists of securities classified as available-for-sale and cash and cash equivalents.   Home Federal Bank's primary sources of cash are net income, principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities and increases in deposit accounts.  If Home Federal Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas which provides an additional source of funds.  At DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2015, Home Federal Bank had $49.0$38.5 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and had $103.4 $114.1 million in additional borrowing capacity.  Additionally, at DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2015, Home Federal Bank was a party to a Master Purchase Agreement with First National Bankers Bank whereby Home Federal Bank may purchase Federal Funds from First National Bankers Bank in an amount not to exceed $16.3 million. There were no amounts purchased under this agreement as of DecemberMarch 31, 2014.2015.

At DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2015, Home Federal Bank had outstanding loan commitments of $28.2$27.3 million to originate loans.  At DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2015, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $64.3$61.8 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In addition, the cost of such deposits could be significantly higher upon renewal in a rising interest rate environment.  Home Federal Bank intends to utilize its high levels of liquidity to fund its lending activities.  If additional funds are required to fund lending activities, Home Federal Bank intends to sell its securities classified as available-for-sale as needed.

At DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2015, Home Federal Bank exceeded each of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios of 12.35%12.29%, 12.35%12.29% and 20.28%19.24%, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At DecemberMarch 31, 2014,2015, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation.

Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the Company's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature.  As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than does the effect of inflation.
