HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements presented in this quarterly report include the accounts of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Home Federal Bank (the “Bank”), which is headquartered in Nampa, Idaho. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and are unaudited. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods included herein have been made. Operating results for the six month period ended March 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2010.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009 (“2009 Form 10-K”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 14, 2009.

Note 2 - Critical Accounting Estimates and Related Accounting Policies

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein. The Company considers the allowance for loan losses, loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality, the indemnification asset due from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), deferred income taxes and valuation of real estate owned to be critical accounting estimates.

Allowance for loan losses. Management recognizes that losses may occur over the life of a loan and that the allowance for loan losses must be maintained at a level necessary to absorb specific losses on impaired loans and probable, incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is charged against current period operating results and decreased by the amount of actual loan charge-offs, net of recoveries. Management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis by analyzing several factors including delinquency rates, charge-off rates and the changing risk profile of the Bank’s loan portfolio, as well as local economic conditions such as unemployment rates, bankruptcies and vacancy rates of business and residential properties.

The Company believes that the accounting estimate related to the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period, requiring management to make assumptions about probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The impact of a sudden large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect earnings.

The Company’s methodology for analyzing the allowance for loan losses consists of specific allocations on significant individual credits and a general allowance amount, including a range of loss estimates. The specific allowance component is determined when management believes that the collectibility of an individually reviewed loan has been impaired and a loss is probable. The general allowance component takes into consideration probable, incurred losses that are inherent within the loan portfolio but have not been specifically identified. The general allowance is determined by applying historical loss percentages to various types of loans with similar characteristics and classified loans that are not analyzed specifically. Adjustments are made to historical loss percentages to reflect current economic and internal environmental factors that may increase or decrease those historical loss percentages

7

such as changes in underwriting standards and unemployment rates. As a result of the imprecision in calculating inherent and incurred losses, a range is estimated for the general allowance to provide an allowance for loan losses that is adequate to cover losses that may arise as a result of changing economic conditions and other qualitative factors that may alter historical loss experience.

Loans Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 310-30 applies to a loan with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, acquired by completion of a transfer for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. For loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, management determined the value of the loan portfolio based on work provided by an appraiser. Factors considered in the valuation were the type of loan and related collateral, projected cash flows for the loans, which was primarily the liquidation value of the collateral, the classification status of the loan and current discount rates. At March 31, 2010, a majority of these loans were valued based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. Certain amounts related to the ASC 310-30 loans are preliminary estimates and are highly subjective. Adjustments in future quarters may occur up to one year from the date of acquisition.

FDIC Indemnification Asset. On August 7, 2009, the Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with the FDIC to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of a failed financial institution. The loans, foreclosed real estate and other repossessed property purchased are covered by a loss sharing agreement between the FDIC and the Bank that provides the Bank significant protection against losses on these covered assets. Under this agreement, the FDIC will reimburse the Bank for 80% of the first $34.0 million of losses. The FDIC will reimburse the Bank for 95% of realized losses that exceed $34.0 million. Realized losses covered by the loss sharing agreement include loan contractual balances (and related unfunded commitments that were acquired), accrued interest on loans for up to 90 days, the book value of foreclosed real estate acquired, and certain direct costs, less cash or other consideration received by the Bank. This agreement extends for ten years for one-to-four family real estate loans and for five years for other loans.

Management has estimated the amount of losses inherent in the covered assets purchased in the acquisition and the amounts that would be receivable from the FDIC upon a loss event. The Bank cannot submit claims of loss until certain events occur, as defined under the purchase and assumption agreement. As such, the value of the indemnification asset is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and estimation as to the timing of the losses and subsequent recovery of a portion of those losses under the loss sharing agreement.

Deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are computed using the asset and liability approach as prescribed by ASC 740. Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the currently enacted tax rates applicable to the period in which the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of the existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in the Company’s income tax returns.

Real Estate Owned. Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure (“REO”) are initially recorded at the lesser of the outstanding loan balance or the fair value at the date of foreclosure minus estimated costs to sell. Any valuation adjustments required at the time of foreclosure are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, the properties are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Any subsequent valuation adjustments, operating expenses or income, and gains and losses on disposition of such properties are recognized in current operations and could adversely affect our financial condition and profitability.

Note 3 - Acquisition

On August 7, 2009, the Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with loss share with the FDIC to assume all of the deposits (excluding nearly all brokered deposits) and liabilities and to purchase certain assets of Community First Bank, a full service commercial bank, headquartered in Prineville, Oregon (the “Acquisition”). The Bank assumed approximately $142.8 million of deposits through the Acquisition. Additionally, the Bank purchased approximately $142.3 million in loans and $12.9 million of real estate and other repossessed assets subject to the loss share agreement on covered assets as described above in Note 2. The Bank also purchased cash and cash equivalents and investment securities of Community First Bank valued at $37.7 million at the date of the Acquisition, and assumed $18.3 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings. The Company accounts for the Bank’s loss sharing agreement with the FDIC as an indemnification asset. The transaction did not generate any goodwill.

Note 4 - Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company has granted stock compensation awards with non-forfeitable dividend rights, which are considered participating securities. As such, earnings per share is computed using the two-class method as required by ASC 260-10-45. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period which excludes the participating securities. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares from stock compensation awards, but excludes awards considered participating securities. ESOP shares are not considered outstanding for earnings per share purposes until they are committed to be released.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods indicated:

Management has evaluated these securities and has determined that the decline in fair value is not other than temporary. These securities have contractual maturity dates and management believes it is reasonably probable that principal and interest balances on these securities will be collected based on the performance, underwriting, credit support and vintage of the loans underlying the securities. However, continued deteriorating economic conditions may result in degradation in the performance of the loans underlying these securities in the future. The Company has

10

the ability and intent to hold these securities for a reasonable period of time for a forecasted recovery of the amortized cost. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not likely that the Company would be required to sell securities in an unrealized position before recovery of its cost basis.

Loans acquired with deteriorating credit quality were previously included in the impaired loans with no related allowance totals in the above table.  Those balances were $22.4 million and $26.2 million as of March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

Troubled debt restructurings totaled $8.7 million and $11.9 million at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurement

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements.  The Company attempts to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions.

12

The following table summarized the Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009:

	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	(in thousands)
March 31, 2010
Obligations of U.S. Government-    sponsored enterprises (“GSE”)	$	4,605		-	$	4,605		-

Mortgage-backed securities, GSE issued		164,594		-		164,594		-
Mortgage-backed securities, private label		599				599

Additionally, certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  These adjustments to fair value generally result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009:

	Total	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
	(in thousands)
March 31, 2010
Impaired loans	$10,776	-	-	$10,776
Real estate owned	13,564	-	-	13,564
September 30, 2009
Impaired loans	$5,699	-	-	$5,699
Real estate owned	18,391	-	-	18,391

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral at March 31, 2010, had a carrying amount of $13.2 million, net of specific valuation allowances totaling $2.4 million.

The specific valuation allowance required a provision of $1.6 million and $207,000 during the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, respectively, and a provision of $2.4 million and $954,000 for the six month periods ended March 31, 2010, and March 31, 2009, respectively.

A loan is considered impaired when, based upon currently known information, it is deemed probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due as scheduled according to the original terms of the agreement.  Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, based on the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent.  Impaired loans that are collateral dependent and have experienced a write-down in carrying value or have a recognized valuation allowance are included in the table above. Impaired loans whose fair value exceeds the carrying value are excluded from the table above as these loans do not represent assets measured and carried at fair value.

Fair value for real estate owned is determined by obtaining appraisals on the properties. The fair value under such appraisals is determined by using an income, cost or comparable sales valuation technique. The fair value is then reduced by management’s estimate for the direct costs expected to be incurred in order to sell the property. Holding

13

costs or maintenance expenses are recorded as period costs when occurred and are not included in the fair value estimate.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at March 31, 2010 were as follows:

	March 31, 2010
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
	(in thousands)
Financial Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	128,881	$	128,881
Investment securities		155,615		155,615
Loans held for sale		2,180		2,180
Loans receivable, net		479,098		481,529
FHLB stock		10,326		N/A
Accrued interest receivable		2,422		2,422
Financial Liabilities:
Demand and savings deposits	$	318,001	$	318,001
Certificates of deposit		236,899		241,719
FHLB advances and other borrowings		75,298		78,732
Advances by borrowers for taxes and       insurance		1,052		1,052
Accrued interest payable		556		556

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Investment Securities: The Company’s investment securities available for sale consist primarily of securities issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises that trade in active markets.  These securities are included under Level 2 because there may or may not be daily trades in each of the individual securities and because the valuation of these securities may be based on instruments that are not exactly identical to those owned by the Company.

Loans held for sale: The carrying amount approximates fair value.

FHLB stock: The determination of fair value of FHLB stock was impractical due to restrictions on the transferability of the stock.

Loans receivable: Fair values for all performing loans are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, utilizing interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.  In addition, the fair value reflects the decrease in loan values as estimated in the allowance for loan losses calculation.

Accrued interest receivable: The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Deposits: The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

FHLB advances: The fair value of the borrowings is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate at which similar borrowings with similar remaining maturities could be made.

Accrued interest payable: The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values of off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the borrower’s credit standing. The fair value of the fees at March 31, 2010 and 2009, were insignificant.

Real estate and other repossessed assets		362
Reimbursable expenses		450
Estimated losses on covered assets	$	20,377
80% loss threshold under loss share agreement	$	34,000
Cumulative losses claimed through March 31, 2010		19,147
Remaining 80% loss threshold	$	14,853
Estimated losses at 80% rate	$	14,853
Estimated recovery at 80% rate			$	11,882
Estimated losses at 95% rate		5,524
Estimated recovery at 95% rate				5,248

Total	$	20,377	$	16,030

Activity in the FDIC indemnification receivable for the six month period ended March 31, 2010, was as follows:

	Reimbursement rate					Amount						Net
		80%			95%	Receivable			Discount			Receivable
	(in thousands)
Balance at September 30,  2009	$	34,000		$	4,405	$	31,385		$	(1,347	)	$	30,038
Payments from FDIC for losses on covered assets		(19,147	)				(15,318	)					(15,318	)
Adjustment for estimated losses over threshold					1,119		1,063						1,063

Balance at March 31, 2010		14,853			5,524		17,130			(1,100	)		16,030

Amounts receivable from the FDIC have been estimated at 80% of losses on covered assets (acquired loans and REO) up to $34.0 million. Reimbursable losses in excess of $34.0 million have been estimated at 95% of the amount recoverable from the FDIC.

Background and Overview

Home Federal Bank (the “Bank”) was founded in 1920 as a building and loan association and reorganized as a federal mutual savings and loan association in 1936.  On December 6, 2004, the Bank converted to stock form and reorganized into the two-tiered mutual holding company form of organization and formed Home Federal MHC and Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. (“Old Home Federal”). On May 11, 2007, the Boards of Directors of Old Home Federal, Home Federal MHC and the Bank adopted a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Bank reorganized from the mutual holding company structure to the stock holding company structure. As a result of that transaction, Home Federal Bank formed a new stock holding company, Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. (“we”, “us”, the “Company”), that serves as the holding company for Home Federal Bank. Home Federal Bancorp, Inc., is a Maryland corporation. The Conversion was completed on December 19, 2007.The Company’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “HOME” and is included in the U.S. Russell 2000® Index.

The Bank is a community-oriented financial institution dedicated to serving the financial service needs of consumers and businesses within its market area.  The Bank’s primary business is attracting deposits from the general public and using these funds to originate loans.  The Bank emphasizes the origination of commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans, construction and residential development loans, consumer loans and loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied residential real estate.  As a result of a comprehensive and continuing review of its strategic business plan, the Company continues to expand its commercial and small business banking programs, including a variety of loan and deposit products.

On August 7, 2009, the Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with loss share with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to assume all of the deposits (excluding nearly all brokered deposits) and certain assets, including loans and REO of Community First Bank, a full service commercial bank, headquartered in Prineville, Oregon (the “Acquisition”). Home Federal Bank acquired seven banking office locations in central Oregon.  The loans and REO purchased are covered by a loss share agreement between the FDIC and Home Federal Bank which affords the Bank significant protection.  Under the loss sharing agreement, Home Federal Bank will share in the losses on assets covered under the agreement (referred to as covered assets).  The FDIC has agreed to reimburse Home Federal Bank for 80% of losses up to $34.0 million, and 95% of losses that exceed that amount. The Acquisition has been incorporated prospectively in the Company’s financial statements. Therefore, year over year results of operations may not be comparable. Additionally, only 54 days of operations from the Acquisition are included in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, which impacts linked quarter comparisons. In certain areas of this discussion and analysis, we have separately disclosed the impact of the Acquisition on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

Home Federal Bank currently has operations in two distinct market areas.  The Bank’s primary market area is the Boise, Idaho, metropolitan statistical area (“MSA”) and surrounding communities, together known as the Treasure Valley region of southwestern Idaho, including Ada, Canyon, Elmore and Gem counties. We refer to this market as the “Idaho Region.” The Acquisition resulted in the Bank’s entrance to the Tri-County Region of Central Oregon, including the counties of Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson.  We refer to this market as the “Central Oregon Region.” In total, we have 22 full-service banking offices, one loan center, 23 automated teller machines and Internet banking services.

The following summarizes key activities of the Company during the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010:

§   Deposits increased $32.4 million for the linked quarter with core deposits (checking, money market and savings accounts) increasing $20.5 million

§   Net interest income increased 6% over the second quarter of fiscal 2009

§   Cash and cash equivalents increased significantly from the linked quarter

§   Gross loans declined $19.1 million as lending opportunities meeting our criteria remain difficult to obtain

§   Nonperforming assets increased $1.2 million to $64.0 million

§   Provision for loan losses totaled $2.4 million while net charge-offs totaled $2.7 million

§   Valuation adjustments and taxes on real estate owned totaled $1.4 million

17

 ▪ The Bank received $5.9 million in reimbursed losses from the FDIC on assets covered under the loss share agreement

The current economic and interest rate environments continue to challenge our organic growth plans, although we have achieved significant deposit growth in fiscal year 2010. While total assets increased during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, a diminished supply of creditworthy lending opportunities contributed to a decrease in outstanding loan balances. Cash and amounts due from depository institutions increased significantly. We have conserved cash balances as a liquidity cushion to support the potential acquisition of a failed institution. Alternative investments to loans are also unattractive as investment securities offer very low yields within our credit and interest rate risk tolerances.

Consistent with our stated strategy to transform the Company’s balance sheet, we reduced fixed-term borrowing balances with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (“FHLB”) and continued to focus on growing core deposits, defined as non-maturity deposits such as checking, savings and money market accounts, which we believe will increase the franchise value of the Company and improve profitability by reducing interest rate sensitivity and high-cost borrowing balances. We did incur growth in certificates of deposit during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, although $9.3 million of the $11.9 million growth in certificates of deposit occurred in a 30-day deposit account used by commercial customers as a short-term investment vehicle. We believe we have priced and delivered this product as an alternative to daily investment sweep deposits.

While we were successful in selling some foreclosed real estate during the quarter, continued deterioration in commercial real estate loans resulted in an increase in nonperforming assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Nonperforming commercial real estate loans increased in both markets as vacancies continued to rise, particularly in our Idaho Region. We continue to see retail stores closing after December 31, 2009, and expect delinquencies in our commercial real estate loan portfolio to rise, which may lead to additional loan losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.4 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 primarily due to the increase in nonperforming loans and because of the continued declines in commercial real estate values. We also increased our general reserve for a pool of residential loans we purchased from Countrywide Financial (now Bank of America) in fiscal year 2006. Delinquencies in that portfolio have increased to 24% at March 31, 2010.

The economic environment in our markets of Southwestern Idaho and Central Oregon continues to be weak with unemployment rates exceeding national levels and with reduced prospects for economic growth over the next 12 months. We believe that meaningful organic growth in loans will be difficult to achieve in the short term. Therefore, we continue to review and pursue FDIC-assisted acquisitions in order to take advantage of the unique opportunity these acquisitions present to grow the organization with quantifiable credit risk exposure. The Board and Management of the Company have identified the intermountain region between Salt Lake City and the Cascade Mountain range as the initial primary target market for organic and acquisitive growth. We believe several institutions may be placed into FDIC receivership in this region and we intend to participate in auctions of failed institutions that provide attractive franchise expansion. Nonetheless, we can provide no assurance that any of these opportunities will materialize or, if they do, that the Bank will be the successful bidder for a failed institution (See “Part II – Other Information, Item 1A – Risk Factors”).

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2010, and September 30, 2009

For the six months ended March 31, 2010, total assets increased $24.2 million.  The changes in total assets were primarily concentrated in the following asset categories:

					Increase/(Decrease)
	Balance at March 31,  2010		Balance at September 30, 2009		Amount			Percent
	(dollars in thousands)
Cash and amounts due from depository     institutions	$	128,881	$	49,953	$	78,928			158.0	%
Investments available for sale, at fair value		155,615		169,320		(13,705	)		(8.1	)
Loans receivable, net of allowance for loan     losses		479,098		510,629		(31,531	)		(6.2	)
FDIC indemnification receivable, net		16,030		30,038		(14,008	)		(46.6	)

Cash and amounts due from depository institutions. Cash and amounts due from depository institutions increased $78.9 million to $128.9 million at March 31, 2010, from $50.0 million at September 30, 2009.  Significant deposit growth funded the increase in cash with deposits increasing $40.0 million during the six months ended March 31, 2010.  We also received $15.3 million in reimbursements from losses incurred on acquired assets during the six months ended March 31, 2010, under the loss share agreement with the FDIC. In addition, cash increased due to principal repayments on one-to-four family residential mortgages and mortgage backed securities exceeding loan originations and purchases of mortgage backed securities.  We used some cash to pay maturing borrowings from the FHLB during fiscal year 2010. We continue to hold excess levels of cash as a result of the very low interest rate environment, which makes medium-term investments unattractive, and to provide increased flexibility for potential acquisitions.

Investments. Investments decreased $13.7 million to $155.6 million at March 31, 2010, from $169.3 million at September 30, 2009.  The decrease was primarily the result of principal repayments exceeding the purchases of securities during the six months ended March 31, 2010.  Principal reduction totaled $27.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010.

Nearly all of our investment securities are issued by U.S. Government sponsored enterprises, primarily Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. While the U.S. Government has affirmed its support for government sponsored enterprises and the obligations and mortgage-backed securities they issued, significant deterioration in the financial strength of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or mortgage-backed security insurers or actions by the U.S. Government to modify the structure of these government enterprises may have a material effect on the valuation and performance of our mortgage-backed securities portfolio in future periods.

FHLB Stock. At March 31, 2010, the Bank held $10.3 million of common stock in the FHLB. This security is reported at par value, which represents the Bank’s cost. The FHLB has reported a capital deficiency under the regulations of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (the “FHFA”), its primary regulator. As a result, the FHLB has stopped paying a dividend and has suspended the repurchase and redemption of outstanding common stock until its retained earnings deficiency is reclaimed.

The FHLB has stated it believes the calculation of risk-based capital under the current rules of the FHFA significantly overstates the market and credit risk of the FHLB’s private-label mortgage-backed securities in the current market environment and that it has enough capital to cover the risks reflected in the FHLB’s balance sheet. As a result, we have not recorded an "other than temporary impairment" on our investment in FHLB stock. However, continued deterioration in the FHLB’s financial position may result in impairment in the value of those securities, or the requirement that the Bank contribute additional funds to recapitalize the FHLB, or reduce the Bank’s ability to borrow funds from the FHLB, which would impair the Bank’s ability to meet liquidity demands.

Loans. Net loans receivable decreased $31.5 million to $479.1 million at March 31, 2010, from $510.6 million at September 30, 2009.  One-to-four family residential mortgage loans decreased $18.9 million as we originate

19

conventional one-to-four family residential loans primarily for sale in the secondary market. As a result, the residential loan portfolio will likely continue to decline as new loans are not added to the portfolio. Consumer loans decreased $4.4 million to $54.7 million as of March 31, 2010.  Commercial real estate, multifamily and acquisition and development loans decreased $9.2 million to $290.7 million at March 31, 2010, from $299.9 million at September 30, 2009. We plan to continue our emphasis on commercial and small business banking products although the slowing economy has reduced growth opportunities for businesses in our primary markets, thereby limiting our ability to generate new loans meeting our investment objectives and criteria.

Asset Quality. Net loan charge-offs totaled $2.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to $1.3 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2009, and $4.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  Loans delinquent 30 to 89 days totaled $10.7 million at March 31, 2010, including $4.4 million of delinquent loans covered by the loss share agreement with the FDIC, as compared to $7.9 million at September 30, 2009.  The following table summarizes loans delinquent 30 to 89 days:

	March 31,		September 30,
	2010		2009
	(in thousands)
Land acquisition and development	$	1,641	$	3,537
One-to-four family construction		155		481
Commercial real estate		4,233		1,886
One-to-four family residential		3,705		1,551
Other		965		415
Total loans delinquent 30 to 89 days	$	10,699	$	7,870

The allowance for loan losses was $27.8 million, or 5.47%, of gross loans at March 31, 2010, compared to $28.7 million, or 5.32% of gross loans at September 30, 2009. At March 31, 2010, we recorded an allowance of $15.7 million on loans purchased in the Acquisition and an allowance of $12.1 million on loans in the Idaho Region loan portfolio. Approximately $2.4 million of the allowance for loan losses on the Idaho Region portfolio is allocated to nonperforming loans.

Loans that were troubled on the date of the Acquisition were recorded at fair value under ASC 310-30, which means an allowance for loan losses is not reported separately on the balance sheet. Loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 reported in loans on the balance sheet totaled $22.4 million at March 31, 2010. Because of the loss sharing agreement with the FDIC on these assets, we do not expect to incur excessive future losses on the acquired loan portfolio. However, our inability to perform specific requirements under the purchase and assumption agreement with the FDIC or to properly service and manage the workout of troubled loans in the loss share portfolio may result in certain loans losing eligibility for reimbursement of losses under the loss share agreement.

20

Nonperforming assets, which include all loans past due greater than 90 days, loans on nonaccrual status and real estate and other property owned, totaled $64.0 million at March 31, 2010, compared to $56.9 million at September 30, 2009. The delinquency table above includes $2.7 million, and $5.1 million of loans that were placed on nonaccrual status at March 31, 2010, and September 30, 2009, respectively, which are also included in the table below that summarizes total nonperforming loans (including nonaccrual and impaired loans) and real estate owned:

	March 31, 2010						September 30, 2009
(in thousands)	Covered Assets		Legacy Portfolio		Total		Covered Assets		Legacy Portfolio		Total
Acquisition and development	$	7,382	$	1,641	$	9,023	$	6,985	$	623	$	7,608
One-to-four family construction		740		828		1,568		481		2,283		2,764
Commercial real estate		16,163		9,993		26,156		11,016		2,725		13,741

Total nonperforming loans		30,387		20,058		50,445		26,708		11,784		38,492
Real estate owned and other property owned		5,547		8,017		13,564		7,516		10,875		18,391
Total nonperforming assets	$	35,934	$	28,075	$	64,009	$	34,224	$	22,659	$	56,883

Troubled debt restructurings that were not included in the delinquency or nonperforming asset tables above totaled $1.4 million and $4.6 million at March 31, 2010, and September 30, 2009, respectively. All troubled debt restructurings are considered to be impaired loans, but may not necessarily be placed on nonaccrual status.

Appraisals on loans secured by consumer real estate are updated when the loan becomes 120 days past due, or earlier if circumstances indicate the borrower will be unable to repay the loan under the terms of the note. Additionally, appraisals are updated if the borrower requests a modification to their loan. On commercial business loans, appraisals are updated upon a determination that the borrower will be unable to repay the loan according to the terms of the note or upon a notice of default, whichever is earlier. Appraisals are updated on all loan types immediately prior to a foreclosure sale and quarterly thereafter once the collateral title has been transferred to the Bank.

Real estate and other repossessed assets decreased $4.8 million or 26.2% to $13.6 million compared to $18.4 million as of September 30, 2009. At March 31, 2010, real estate owned and other repossessed assets was comprised of $8.0 million of land development and speculative one-to-four family construction projects, $3.6 million of commercial real estate, and $2.0 million of one-to-four family residential properties.

In fiscal year 2006, the Bank purchased approximately $38.8 million of residential real estate loans from Countrywide Financial, now Bank of America, who continues to service the loans. Balances on the portfolio totaled $19.5 million at March 31, 2010. The majority of the portfolio balance is secured by properties outside of the state of Idaho and delinquencies and foreclosures are at levels significantly higher than similar loans on properties in our primary market area. At March 31, 2010, this portfolio had $3.1 million of nonperforming loans that are reported in the table above. The total reserve allocated to loans in this loan portfolio was $2.6 million at March 31, 2010, or 13.1% of the balance of loans outstanding on that date.

As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the severity and possible length of the downturn in the commercial real estate market, we have increased the general reserve component of the allowance for loan losses. We believe such an increase in the allowance for loan losses is prudent and appropriate and that the allowance for loan losses reflects our best estimate of probable, known and estimable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2010. However, additional information may later come to our attention later, evidencing losses in excess of the amounts estimated, which may negatively affect earnings in the future.

Property and equipment. We did not acquire banking locations in Central Oregon at the same time as the closing of the Acquisition. We had a period of time after the August 7, 2009, transaction date to review the banking facilities of the failed institution and obtain appraisals of the banking offices and their contents. After our review, we decided to purchase two banking offices in Redmond and Bend, Oregon, and to assume the lease agreements on five of the

21

other banking offices in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The value of the purchased banking offices totaled $4.7 million and the contents of all seven of the assumed locations totaled approximately $412,000.

One of the assets offered in the Acquisition was a 49% nonvoting interest in a real estate partnership. Prineville Bancorporation, the parent company of the failed bank, was the owner of the remaining 51% and sole voting interest of the partnership. The partnership owned three of the banking offices that Community First Bank leased from the partnership. We assumed these leases, as described above. We acquired the remaining interest in the partnership in March 2010 through a transaction with Prineville Bancorporation whereby we now own the three banking facilities we previously leased from the partnership after the Acquisition. Also in March 2010, the FDIC made an adjustment to the purchase price of the 49% interest in the partnership we purchased in the Acquisition, which resulted in an after tax extraordinary gain of $305,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

FDIC indemnification receivable. As part of the Acquisition, the Company entered into a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC. This agreement covers realized losses on loans and foreclosed real estate purchased in the Acquisition. Under this agreement, the FDIC will reimburse Home Federal Bank for 80% of the first $34.0 million of realized losses and 95% on realized losses that exceed $34.0 million. The FDIC indemnification receivable declined $14.0 million to $16.0 million from September 30, 2009, primarily due to payments for reimbursements for loan charge-offs and other reimbursable expenses.

Deposits. Deposits increased $40.0 million, or 7.8%, to $554.9 million at March 31, 2010, from $514.9 million at September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of core deposit growth. There was a $32.0 million increase in core deposits and an increase of $8.3 million in certificates of deposit. Nearly all of the increase in certificates of deposit was attributable to a 30 day certificate product used by commercial customers as a short-term investment account.

The following table details the composition of the deposit portfolio and changes in deposit balances:

					Increase (Decrease)
	Balance at March 31,  2010		Balance at September 30, 2009		Amount			Percent
	(dollars in thousands)
Noninterest-bearing demand	$	64,969	$	68,155	$	(3,187	)		(4.7	)%
Interest-bearing demand		93,493		78,393		15,100			19.3
Health savings account		22,613		21,248		1,366			6.4
Money market		88,275		76,408		11,867			15.5
Savings		48,651		41,757		6,894			16.5
Certificates of deposit		236,899		228,897		8,002			3.5
Total deposit accounts	$	554,900	$	514,858	$	40,042			7.8	%

Borrowings. FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased $9.4 million, or 11.1%, to $75.3 million at March 31, 2010, from $84.7 million at September 30, 2009. Excess cash and principal payment proceeds from mortgage-backed securities and residential loan portfolios were used to repay FHLB advances as they matured.

Deferred Income Taxes. The Company had a net deferred tax liability of $5.3 million and $5.6 million at March 31, 2010, and September 30, 2009, respectively. There was approximately $305,000 of a decline which was due in part to the change in the unrealized gain on the investment securities’ available for sale as of March 31, 2010. The other component of the change in deferred taxes was due to the adjustment to the fair market value of the acquisition and the extraordinary gain, net of tax.

Equity. Stockholders’ equity decreased $2.6 million, or 1%, to $207.0 million at March 31, 2010, compared to $209.7 million at September 30, 2009. Dividends paid during the six months ended March 31, 2010 reduced retained earnings $1.7 million. In addition, the net loss year to date also decreased equity.  The Company’s book value per share as of March 31, 2010, was $12.41 per share based upon 16,687,760 outstanding shares of common stock.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010, and March 31, 2009

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010, was $1.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net income of $476,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, included a $305,000 after-tax extraordinary gain related to final resolution of a partial ownership in a partnership originally acquired as part of the Acquisition. Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, which consists of net interest income before the provision for loan losses plus noninterest income, increased $466,000 or 5.6% to $8.8 million from $8.3 million for the same period of the prior year.

The efficiency ratio increased to 109.00% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to 79.12% for the same quarter a year ago due mainly to increased expenses associated with troubled assets not covered under the loss share agreement and the additional burden of operating two core processing systems, including certain back-office operations assumed in the Acquisition. The conversion and consolidation of both platforms is anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $342,000, or 5.7%, to $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in net interest income was due to both the Acquisition as well as the lower rates paid on deposits in the quarter just ended than in the same period a year ago, which offset lower yields in the loan portfolio. Fair value amortization of purchased loans and assumed deposits decreased interest income and interest expense by $243,000 and $105,000, respectively, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010. The Company’s net interest margin decreased 31 basis points to 3.29% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to 3.60% in the year ago period. The increase in nonperforming loans purchased in the Acquisition is reducing the average yield earned on the loan portfolio. In addition, cash balances continued to increase which also exerted downward pressure on the net interest margin due to the low yield earned on this excess cash.

23

The following table sets forth the impacts to the Company’s net interest income from changes in balances of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as well as changes in interest rates. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). Changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, are allocated proportionately to the changes in rate and volume.

Interest and Dividend Income.  Total interest and dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2010, decreased $192,000, or 2.2%, to $8.7 million, from $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The decrease during the quarter was attributable to a decrease on yields earned on interest earning assets, which more than offset the effect of higher levels of interest earning assets.

The following table compares detailed average earning asset balances, associated yields, and resulting changes in interest and dividend income:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2010					2009					Increase/

24

The yield on loans fell to 5.44% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 due to the extremely low interest rate environment that has persisted for over a year and the impact of nonaccrual loans. Foregone interest income on nonaccrual loans was approximately $745,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. While most of our adjustable-rate loans contain floors, which mitigates some of the decline in our yield attributable to the low interest rate environment, new loans originated during fiscal year 2010 as well as portfolio loans repricing during the current year continue to drive down the average yield on the loan portfolio. In addition, the significant amount of interest-bearing deposits in other banks yielding an average of 20 basis points is also a major factor in reducing the overall yield on interest earning assets.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased $534,000, or 18.0%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  While the average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities increased $90.4 million, or 20.1%, to $539.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $449.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, our overall interest expense decreased.  The average rate on certificates of deposit decreased from 3.32% to 2.15% and was a significant factor in the decrease.  The $38.6 million reduction in average outstanding FHLB borrowings was also a significant factor in the decrease.

The following table details average balances, cost of funds and the change in interest expense:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2010					2009					Increase/

Total interest-bearing liabilities	$	539,603		1.81	%	$	449,175		2.64	%	$	(534	)

Provision for Loan Losses.  We recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as a result of our analysis of the loan portfolio. A provision for loan losses of $1.1 million was recorded for the same quarter of the prior year.  The provision in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 was mainly due to continued signs of stress in the commercial real estate portfolio of the Idaho Region, about which we have expressed concerns over the last three quarters. We also increased our estimation of losses in the Bank of America purchased residential loan pool described above.

While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in our determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provision that may be required will not adversely impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.  In addition, the determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

The provision for loan losses is impacted by the types of loans and the risk factors associated with each loan type in the Bank’s portfolio. As the Bank increases its commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios, the Bank anticipates it will increase its allowance for loan losses based upon the higher risk characteristics associated with commercial and commercial real estate loans compared with one-to-four family residential loans, which have historically comprised the majority of the Bank’s loan portfolio.

Loans receivable, net	$	479,098		$	439,170

Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased $124,000, or 5.3%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Other income increased from the year-ago period, including increases in rental income and accretable income, partially offset by an increase in losses on sale of REO properties. Other income included $87,000 associated with the accretion of the present value component of the FDIC indemnification asset.  These increases in other income were offset by an aggregate loss on sale of REO properties for the quarter of $71,000. Lastly, gain on sale of loans decreased $282,000 or 69.3% due to a significant drop in residential mortgage loan production in the quarter just ended compared to the year ago period. While mortgage rates continue to be very low compared to historical averages, we have found fewer customers have been eligible for financing due to declines in creditworthiness or declines in the value of their homes. We hired a new vice president to oversee our mortgage banking line of business in April 2010 and to develop a stronger business development program for our mortgage team.

While service charges and fees increased $254,000 from the prior year primarily due to the deposit accounts assumed in the Acquisition, service charges and fees declined from the linked quarter due to seasonal declines in overdraft activity as the second fiscal quarter has typically been the lowest quarter for overdraft fee income each fiscal year. We expect revenue from overdraft fees to continue to decline as the deposit portfolio strategically is shifted away from low-balance, high overdraft accounts to higher-balance, relationship accounts. We also expect overdraft fee income to decline as a result of newly promulgated regulations.

The following table provides a detailed analysis of the changes in components of noninterest income:

Noninterest expenses were higher in all categories compared to the year ago period due to the Acquisition and the costs associated with maintaining two back offices. The Bank will continue to operate separate back offices in the Idaho and Central Oregon Regions until a full conversion and integration to a new core application platform is completed, which is anticipated in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010.

Compensation and benefits increased $1.0 million from the year ago period primarily as a result of personnel added in the Acquisition. Occupancy and equipment expenses were also higher in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 from the year ago period due to the Acquisition.

Costs associated with troubled loans and real estate owned significantly exceeded the year ago levels. Included in these costs are items such as legal fees incurred throughout the foreclosure process, overdue property taxes paid on real estate owned upon foreclosure, and insurance premiums on real estate owned. In addition, the provision for real estate owned increased $1.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 compared to the same period of the prior year as a result of quarterly valuation assessments performed on a significantly higher number of foreclosed properties.

Income Tax Benefit. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, including the tax expense associated with the extraordinary gain. Net loss before income taxes was ($1.6 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to net income of $476,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months ended March 31, 2010, and March 31, 2009

Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2010, was ($1.9 million), or ($0.12) per diluted share after the $305,000 after tax extraordinary gain discussed above, compared to a net loss of ($325,000), or ($0.02) per diluted share, for the six months ended March 31, 2009. Total revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2010, which consisted of net interest income before the provision for loan losses plus noninterest income, increased $1.5 million or 9.2% to $18.0 million compared to $16.5 million for the same period of the prior year. The Company’s efficiency ratio increased to 103.4% for the six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to 76.3% for the same period of the prior year due to both the increased costs associated with the elevated level of troubled loans and real estate owned compared to the year ago period as well as due to the Acquisition.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $978,000, or 8.4%, to $12.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010, from $11.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to the Acquisition and a decrease in interest expense. Lower interest rates as well as lower outstanding borrowings in the current year than in the year ago period primarily drove the decrease in interest expense.

The Company’s net interest margin decreased 15 basis points to 3.33% for the six months ended March 31, 2010, from 3.48% for the same period last year. Higher rates of nonperforming assets and an increase in excess cash when compared to the year ago period were primarily responsible for the decrease.

27

The following table sets forth the impacts to the Company’s net interest income from changes in balances of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as well as changes in interest rates. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). Changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, are allocated proportionately to the changes in rate and volume.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.6 million, or 24.6%, to $4.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010, from $6.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009. The average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities increased $73.6 million to $533.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010, from $459.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009. However, the decrease in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities of 100 basis points resulted in a lower interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2010, than for the year ago period.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $538,000, or 11.2%, to $5.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2010, from $4.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $409,000 and $404,000 in service charges and fees and other income offset by a decrease in gain on sale of loans of $289,000. The increase in service charges and fees reflects the increased number of accounts assumed in the Acquisition. The increase in other income is due to rental income and accretable income. The number of real estate owned properties for which we are receiving rent has increased significantly from the year ago period. Accretable income related to the FDIC indemnification receivable of $247,000 was also recorded in the six month period in 2010.

Noninterest expenses were higher compared to the year ago period due to the Acquisition. Among noninterest expense categories, the most significant increases from the year ago periods include provision for real estate owned, professional services, and insurance and taxes. These increases are directly related to the costs associated with working through troubled assets.

Liquidity, Commitments and Capital Resources

Liquidity. We actively analyze and manage liquidity with the objectives of maintaining an adequate level of liquidity and to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to support loan growth, fund deposit withdrawals, fund operations and satisfy other financial commitments. See the "Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows" contained in Item 1 - Financial Statements, included herein.

The primary sources of funds are customer deposits, loan repayments, loan sales, maturing investment securities, and FHLB advances. These sources of funds are used to make loans, acquire investment securities and other assets, and fund continuing operations. While maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We believe our current liquidity position and anticipated operating results are sufficient to fund known, existing commitments and activity levels.

Liquidity is essential to our business and liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as overnight deposits with financial institutions, primarily the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or the FHLB of Seattle. On a longer-term basis, we maintain a strategy of investing in securities and loans.

An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale of loans and other sources could have a substantial negative effect on liquidity. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance the Company’s activities on acceptable terms could be impaired by factors that affect the Company and the Bank, specifically, or within the financial services industry or the economy in general. Factors that could detrimentally impact our access to liquidity sources include adverse regulatory action, a disruption in the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry in light of the turmoil faced by banking organizations and the continued deterioration in credit markets.

At March 31, 2010, certificates of deposit were $236.9 million, or 43.0% of total deposits, including $149.8 million that are scheduled to mature by March 31, 2011.  Recent disruptions in the credit markets have resulted in a highly price-competitive market for certificates of deposit. Some rates offered by competitors currently exceed alternative costs of borrowings and are high compared to historical spreads to U.S. Treasury note rates. Nonetheless, we believe the Company has adequate resources to fund all loan commitments through FHLB advances, loan repayments, and maturing investment securities.

31

At March 31, 2010, the Bank maintained a line of credit with the FHLB of Seattle equal to 40% of total assets to the extent the Bank provides qualifying collateral and holds sufficient FHLB stock. At March 31, 2010, the Bank was in compliance with the collateral requirements and $129.4 million of the line of credit was available. The Bank is highly dependent on the FHLB of Seattle to provide the primary source of wholesale funding for immediate liquidity and borrowing needs. The failure of the FHLB of Seattle or the FHLB system in general, may materially impair the Company’s ability to meet our growth plans or to meet short and long-term liquidity demands. However, the Company’s mortgage backed securities are marketable and could be sold to obtain cash to meet liquidity demands should access to FHLB funding be impaired. Additionally, the Bank could access funding from the Discount Window at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or through the origination of out of market brokered deposits.

As noted earlier, we have increased our liquidity by holding significant levels of excess cash. We have been reluctant to invest much of this cash in securities due to unattractive returns in the fixed-income market and anticipated increases in interest rates in the near term. We also anticipate bidding on failing institutions, which may have illiquid balance sheets. Additionally, the FDIC recently changed the bidding procedures for failing institutions. These changes may require us to outlay cash if net assets acquired exceed liabilities assumed. Previously, a cash payment by an acquiring institution was not required.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of the Bank’s customers. These financial instruments generally include commitments to originate mortgage, commercial and consumer loans, and involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Bank’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Because some commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The same credit policies are used in making commitments as are used for on-balance sheet instruments. Collateral is required in instances where deemed necessary.

Undisbursed balances of loans closed include funds not disbursed but committed for construction projects. Unused lines of credit include funds not disbursed, but committed for, home equity, commercial and consumer lines of credit.

Commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily used to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

In connection with certain asset sales, the Bank typically makes representations and warranties about the underlying assets conforming to specified guidelines. If the underlying assets do not conform to the specifications, the Bank may have an obligation to repurchase the assets or indemnify the purchaser against loss. These representations and warranties are most applicable to the residential mortgages sold in the secondary market.  The Bank believes that the potential for loss under these arrangements is remote and has not had to repurchase any loans sold to investors or a U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise. Accordingly, no contingent liability is recorded in the financial statements. However, past performance may not be representative of future performance on sold loans and the Bank may be required to perform under such repurchase obligations, which may result in losses in the future.

32

The following is a summary of commitments and contingent liabilities with off-balance sheet risks as of March 31, 2010:

	Contract or Notional Amount
	(in thousands)
Commitments to originate loans:
Fixed rate	$	2,373
Adjustable rate		3,415
Undisbursed balance of loans closed		8,379
Unused lines of credit		40,615
Commercial letters of credit		504
Total	$	55,286

Capital.Consistent with the Bank’s goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, efforts are ongoing to actively seek to maintain a “well capitalized” institution in accordance with regulatory standards. The Bank’s total regulatory capital was $149.0 million at March 31, 2010, or 18.8%, of total assets on that date. As of March 31, 2010, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The Bank’s regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2010, were as follows: Tier 1 capital 18.8%; Tier 1 (core) risk-based capital 32.5%; and total risk-based capital 33.8%. The applicable regulatory capital requirements to be considered well capitalized are 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s Board of Directors has established an asset and liability management policy to guide management in maximizing net interest spread by managing the differences in terms between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities while maintaining acceptable levels of liquidity, capital adequacy, interest rate sensitivity, credit risk and profitability. The Asset/Liability Management Committee, consisting of certain members of senior management, communicate, coordinate and manage asset/liability positions consistent with the business plan and Board-approved policies, as well as to price savings and lending products, and to develop new products.

One of the Bank’s primary financial objectives is to generate ongoing profitability. The Bank’s profitability depends primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the income it receives on its loan and investment portfolio and its cost of funds, which consists of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The rates the Company earns on assets and pays on liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Market interest rates change over time. The Bank’s loans generally have longer maturities than the deposits. Accordingly, the Company’s results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are affected by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of assets and liabilities. The Bank measures its interest rate sensitivity on a quarterly basis using an internal model.

In recent years, the Company has primarily utilized the following strategies in its efforts to manage interest rate risk:

·   Reduced our reliance on long-term, fixed-rate one-to-four family residential loans by originating nearly all of these loans for sale in the secondary market;

·   Increased originations of adjustable-rate commercial and commercial real estate loans;

·   Reduced our reliance on higher-rate certificates of deposit and FHLB borrowings by focusing on core deposit growth, including checking and savings accounts that are less-sensitive to interest rate changes and have longer average lives than certificates of deposit.

Management employs various strategies to manage the Company’s interest rate sensitivity including: (1) selling long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans in the secondary market; (2) borrowing intermediate to long-term funds at fixed rates from the FHLB; (3) originating commercial and consumer loans at shorter maturities or at variable rates; (4) originating adjustable rate mortgage loans; (5) appropriately modifying loan and deposit pricing to capitalize on the then current market opportunities; and (6) increasing lower cost core deposits, such as savings and checking accounts. At March 31, 2010, the Company had no off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments, and the Bank did not maintain a trading account for any class of financial instruments or engage in hedging activities or purchase

33

high risk derivative instruments. Furthermore, the Company is not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk.

There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in the Company’s 2009 Form 10-K.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other members of the Company’s management team as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.  The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2010, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  A number of internal control procedures were, however, modified during the quarter in conjunction with the Bank's internal control testing.  The Company also continued to implement suggestions from its internal auditor and independent auditors to strengthen existing controls.

The Company intends to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company's business.  While the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures.  The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent every error or instance of fraud.  A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any control procedure is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is engaged in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, none of which are currently considered to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

34

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Significant legal actions could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities.

We are from time to time subject to claims related to our operations. These claims and legal actions, including supervisory actions by our regulators, could involve large monetary claims and significant defense costs. Substantial legal liability or significant regulatory action against us could have material adverse financial effects or cause significant reputational harm to us, which in turn could seriously harm our business prospects. We may be exposed to substantial uninsured liabilities, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

If our regulators deem it appropriate, they can take regulatory actions that could increase the cost of our services or reduce fee income and impact our ability to compete for new business or bid on failing institutions.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the supervision and regulation of regulators, including the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the SEC. As such the Company is subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations. As part of their supervisory process, which includes periodic examinations and continuous monitoring, the regulators have the authority to impose restrictions or conditions on our activities and the manner in which we manage the organization. These actions could impact the organization in a variety of ways, including subjecting us to monetary fines, restricting our ability to pay dividends, precluding mergers or acquisitions including FDIC-assisted transactions, limiting our ability to offer certain products or services, or imposing additional capital requirements. Recent changes in overdraft fee regulations could have a significant impact on our total revenue due to declines in overdraft fee income. Additionally, the U.S. Congress is currently considering sweeping regulatory changes in the financial services industry, including the elimination of our current primary regulator. There can be no assurances as to how this new regulatory structure will affect our operations if enacted.

A legislative proposal has been introduced that would eliminate the Office of Thrift Supervision, Home Federal Bank and Home Federal Bancorp’s primary federal regulator, which would require Home Federal Bancorp to become a bank holding company.

Legislation has been introduced in the United States Senate and House of Representatives that would implement sweeping changes to the current bank regulatory structure.  The House Bill (H.R. 4173) would eliminate our current primary federal regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision, by merging it into the Comptroller of the Currency (the primary federal regulator for national banks).  The proposed legislation would authorize the Comptroller of the Currency to charter mutual and stock savings banks and mutual holding companies, which would be under the supervision of the Division of Thrift Supervision of the Comptroller of the Currency.  The proposed legislation would also establish a Financial Services Oversight Council and grant the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System exclusive authority to regulate all bank and thrift holding companies.  As a result, Home Federal Bancorp would become a holding company subject to supervision by the Federal Reserve Board as opposed to the Office of Thrift Supervision, and would become subject to the Federal Reserve’s regulations, including holding company capital requirements, that Home Federal Bancorp is not currently subject to as a savings and loan holding company.  In addition, compliance with new regulations and being supervised by one or more new regulatory agencies could increase our expenses.
