Item 1. Description of Business

General

On January 18, 2005, Home Federal Savings and Loan Association (“Home Federal Savings and Loan” or the “Association”), completed its reorganization to the mutual holding company form of organization and formed Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (“Home Federal Bancorp” or the “Company”) to serve as the stock holding company for the Association. In connection with the reorganization, the Company sold 1,423,583 shares of its common stock in a subscription and community offering at a price of $10.00 per share. The Company also issued 60% of its then outstanding common stock in the reorganization to Home Federal Mutual Holding Company of Louisiana, or 2,135,375 shares. As of June 30, 2006, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company held 60.4% of Home Federal Bancorp’s issued and outstanding common stock. The Association 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 Thrift Supervision. Services are provided to its customers by three offices, all of which are located in the City of Shreveport, Louisiana. The area served by the Association 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.

The Company’s only business activities are to hold all of the outstanding common stock of Home Federal Savings and Loan. The Company is authorized to pursue other business activities permitted by applicable laws and regulations for savings and loan holding companies, which may include the issuance of additional shares of common stock to raise capital or to support mergers or acquisitions and borrowing funds for reinvestment in Home Federal Savings and Loan.

Home Federal Bancorp does not own or lease any property, but instead uses the premises, equipment and furniture of Home Federal Savings and Loan. At the present time, the Company employs only persons who are officers of Home Federal Savings and Loan to serve as officers of Home Federal Bancorp and may also use the support staff of Home Federal Savings and Loan from time to time. These persons are not separately compensated by Home Federal Bancorp.

Home Federal Savings and Loan is a federally chartered savings and loan association located in Shreveport, Louisiana, which is the parish seat of Caddo Parish. Home Federal Savings and Loan’s business consists primarily of attracting deposits from the general public and using those funds to invest in securities and originate single-family and consumer loans.

Market Area

Our primary market area for loans and deposits is in northwest Louisiana, particularly Caddo Parish. Shreveport is the parish seat for Caddo Parish. Our operating strategy is based on strong community service.

Our primary market area is suburban in nature, as indicated by the population density of Caddo and Bossier Parishes. Shreveport is the largest population center in the regional market area served by us. Services, wholesale/retail trade, manufacturing, casino gaming and government constitute the basis of a fairly diversified local economy. Competition for financial services in our primary market area is intense.

Competition

We face significant competition both in attracting deposits and in making loans. Our most direct competition for deposits has come historically from commercial banks, credit unions and other savings institutions located in the primary market area, including many large financial institutions which have greater financial and marketing resources available to them. In addition, we face significant competition for investors’ funds from short-term money market securities, mutual funds and other corporate and government securities. We do not rely upon any individual group or entity for a material portion of our deposits. Our ability to attract and retain deposits depends on our ability to generally provide a rate of return, liquidity and risk comparable to that offered by competing investment opportunities.

Our competition for real estate loans comes principally from mortgage banking companies, commercial banks, other savings institutions and credit unions. We compete for loan originations primarily through the interest rates and loan fees we charge, and the efficiency and quality of services we provide borrowers. Factors which affect competition include general and local economic conditions, current interest rate levels and volatility in the mortgage markets. Competition may increase as a result of the continuing reduction of restrictions on the interstate operations of financial institutions.

Subsidiaries

At June 30, 2006, the Association had one subsidiary, Metro Financial Services, Inc., an inactive, wholly-owned subsidiary.

Employees

Home Federal Savings and Loan had 17 full-time employees and two part-time employees at June 30, 2006. None of these employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe that we enjoy good relations with our personnel.

Lending Activities

General. At June 30, 2006, our net loan portfolio amounted to $20.9 million, representing approximately 18.3% of total assets at that date. Historically, our principal lending activity has been the origination of one- to four-family residential loans. At June 30, 2006, one- to four-family residential loans amounted to $13.7 million, or 64.7% of the total loan portfolio. As part of our desire to diversify the loan portfolio, we also offer consumer loans, which amounted to $4.3 million, or 20.4% of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2006.

The types of loans that we may originate are subject to federal and state laws and regulations. Interest rates charged on loans are affected principally by the demand for such loans and the supply of money available for lending purposes and the rates offered by our competitors. These factors are, in turn, affected by general and economic conditions, the monetary policy of the federal government, including the Federal Reserve Board, legislative and tax policies, and governmental budgetary matters.

A savings institution generally may not make loans to one borrower and related entities in an amount which exceeds the greater of (i) 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus, although loans in an amount equal to an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus may be made to a borrower if the loans are fully secured by readily marketable securities, and (ii) $500,000. At June 30, 2006, our regulatory limit on loans-to-one borrower was $4.1 million and the five largest loans or groups of loans-to-one borrower, including related entities, aggregated $3,139,007, $449,296, $358,203, $274,589 and $260,000. Each of our five largest loans or groups of loans was performing in accordance with its terms at June 30, 2006.

Loans to or guaranteed by general obligations of a state or political subdivision are not subject to the foregoing lending limits. Our Board has authorized a loan commitment of $1.5 million to a limited partnership established by the Housing Authority of Bossier City, Louisiana, which we expect to be entered into in the second or third quarter of fiscal 2007. The loan will be secured by a first mortgage lien on real estate and low to moderate income rental units in Bossier City, Louisiana as well as a conditional assignment of rents. The commitment letter will include a condition that the Housing Authority of Bossier City, Louisiana execute takeout agreements with respect to our position in the event of default. In addition, among other conditions, the $1.5 million commitment letter will require a written appraisal establishing the value of the rental property at completion of not less than 80% of the loan, or $1.2 million.

Loan Portfolio Composition. The following table shows the composition of our loan portfolio by type of loan at the dates indicated.

Origination of Loans. Our lending activities are subject to the written underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by the board of directors and management. Loan originations are obtained through a variety of sources, primarily consisting of referrals from real estate brokers and existing customers. Written loan applications are taken by one of our loan officers. The loan officer also supervises the procurement of credit reports, appraisals and other documentation involved with a loan. As a matter of practice, we obtain independent outside appraisals on substantially all of our loans. Under our lending policy, a title opinion must be obtained for each real estate loan. We also require fire and extended coverage casualty insurance in order to protect the properties securing the real estate loans. Borrowers must also obtain flood insurance policies when the property is in a flood hazard area.

Our loan approval process is intended to assess the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, the viability of the loan and the value of the property that will secure the loan. Loans up to $417,900, the Fannie Mae conforming loan limit for single-family mortgage loans for 2006, must be approved by our loan committee which currently consists of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Vice President of Lending. Loans in excess of $417,900 must be approved by the board of directors. In accordance with past practice, all loans are ratified by our board of directors.

During fiscal 2005, we also purchased loans from a builder of pre-fabricated housing. The loans were generally secured by rural properties and the seller continues to perform the servicing functions on the loan. Although the loans were originated with fixed-rates, we received an adjustable-rate of interest with a floor rate of 6% and a ceiling of 8.75%. Under the terms of the loan agreements, the seller repurchases any loan that becomes more than 90 days delinquent. At June 30, 2006, we had approximately $2.7 million of such loans in our portfolio.

The following table shows total loans originated, sold and repaid during the periods indicated.

Although federal laws and regulations permit savings institutions to originate and purchase loans secured by real estate located throughout the United States, we concentrate our lending activity to our primary market area in Caddo Parish, Louisiana and the surrounding area. Subject to our loans-to-one borrower limitation, we are permitted to invest without limitation in residential mortgage loans and up to 400% of our capital in loans secured by non-residential or commercial real estate. We also may invest in secured and unsecured consumer loans in an amount not exceeding 35% of total assets. This 35% limitation may be exceeded for certain types of consumer loans, such as home equity and property improvement loans secured by residential real property. In addition, we may invest up to 10% of our total assets in secured and unsecured loans for commercial, corporate, business or agricultural purposes. At June 30, 2006, we were within each of the above lending limits.

During fiscal 2006 and 2005, we sold $2.9 million and $2.1 million of loans, respectively. We recognized gain on sale of loans of $24,178 during fiscal 2006 and $17,882 during fiscal 2005. Loans were sold during these periods primarily to another financial institution. Such loans were sold against forward sales commitments with servicing released and without recourse after a certain amount of time, typically 90 days. The loans sold primarily consisted of long-term, fixed rate residential real estate loans. These loans were originated during a period of historically low interest rates and were sold to reduce our interest rate risk. We will continue to sell loans in the future to the extent we believe the interest rate environment is unfavorable and interest rate risk is unacceptable.

Contractual Terms to Final Maturities. The following table shows the scheduled contractual maturities of our loans as of June 30, 2006, before giving effect to net items. Demand loans, loans having no stated schedule of repayments and no stated maturity, and overdrafts are reported as due in one year or less. The amounts shown below do not take into account loan prepayments.

Scheduled contractual maturities of loans do not necessarily reflect the actual expected term of the loan portfolio. The average life of mortgage loans is substantially less than their average contractual terms because of prepayments. The average life of mortgage loans tends to increase when current mortgage loan rates are higher than rates on existing mortgage loans and, conversely, decrease when rates on current mortgage loans are lower than existing mortgage loan rates (due to refinancing of adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans at lower rates). Under the latter circumstance, the weighted average yield on loans decreases as higher yielding loans are repaid or refinanced at lower rates.

One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Loans. Our primary lending activity is the origination of loans secured by single-family residences. At June 30, 2006, $13.7 million, or 64.7%, of the total loan portfolio, before net items, consisted of one- to four-family residential loans.

The loan-to-value ratio, maturity and other provisions of the loans made by us generally have reflected the policy of making less than the maximum loan permissible under applicable regulations, in accordance with sound lending practices, market conditions and underwriting standards established by us. Our current lending policy on one- to four-family residential loans generally limits the maximum loan-to-value ratio to 80% or less of the appraised value of the property although we will lend up to a 95% loan-to-value ratio with private mortgage insurance. These loans are amortized on a monthly basis with principal and interest due each month and generally include “due-on-sale” clauses.

At June 30, 2006, $10.7 million, or 77.9%, of our one- to four-family residential mortgage loans were fixed-rate loans. Fixed-rate loans generally have maturities ranging from 15 to 30 years and are fully amortizing with monthly loan payments sufficient to repay the total amount of the loan with interest by the end of the loan term. Our fixed-rate loans generally are originated under terms, conditions and documentation which permit them to be sold to U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and other investors in the secondary mortgage market. Consistent with our asset/liability management, we have sold a significant portion of our long-term, fixed rate loans over the past two years.

Although we offer adjustable rate loans, substantially all of the single-family loan originations over the last few years have consisted of fixed-rate loans due to the low interest rate environment. The adjustable-rate loans held in portfolio typically have interest rates which adjust on an annual basis. These loans generally have an annual cap of 2% on any increase or decrease and a cap of 6% above or below the initial rate over the life of the loan. Such loans are underwritten based on the initial rate plus 2%.

Consumer Loans. We are authorized to make loans for a wide variety of personal or consumer purposes. We originate consumer loans in order to accommodate our customers and because such loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans. The consumer loans we offer consist of home equity and second mortgage loans, loans secured by deposit accounts with us, equity lines of credit and automobile loans. As part of our lending strategy, we started to place a greater emphasis on the origination of consumer loans. However, we do not intend to materially expand our product offerings and instead intend to focus on increasing the volume of our current products, primarily home equity and second mortgage loans. At June 30, 2006, $4.3 million, or 20.4% of the total loan portfolio consisted of consumer loans compared to $3.8 million, or 15.7% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2005.

Of the $4.3 million of consumer loans held at June 30, 2006, $3.3 million consisted of home equity and second mortgage loans compared to $2.8 million of home equity and second mortgage loans at June 30, 2005. These loans are secured by the underlying equity in the borrower’s residence. We do not require that we hold the first mortgage on the properties that secure the second mortgage loans. The amount of our second mortgage loans generally cannot exceed a loan-to-value ratio of 80% after taking into consideration the first mortgage loan. These loans are typically three-to-five year balloon loans with fixed rates and contain an on-demand clause that allows us to call the loan in at any time.

We offer loans secured by deposit accounts held with us, which loans amounted to $612,388, or 2.9% of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2006. Such loans are originated for up to 90% of the account balance, with a hold placed on the account restricting the withdrawal of the account balance. The interest rate on the loan is equal to the interest rate paid on the account plus 2%. These loans typically are payable on demand with a maturity date of one year.

We also offer lines of credit secured by a borrower’s equity in real estate.

Consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans, but generally entail greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly those loans secured by assets that depreciate rapidly, such as automobiles, boats and recreational vehicles. In such cases, repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment for the outstanding loan and the remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In particular, amounts realizable on the sale of repossessed automobiles may be significantly reduced based upon the condition of the automobiles and the fluctuating demand for used automobiles.

Loan Origination and Other Fees. In addition to interest earned on loans, we generally receive loan origination fees or “points” for originating loans. Loan points are a percentage of the principal amount of the mortgage loan and are charged to the borrower in connection with the origination of the loan.

Asset Quality

General. Our collection procedures provide that when a loan is 15 days past due, a late charge notice is sent to the borrower requesting payment. If the delinquency continues at 30 days, personal contact efforts are attempted, either in person or by telephone. If a loan becomes 60 days past due and no progress has been made in resolving the delinquency, a collection letter from legal counsel is sent and personal contact is attempted. When a loan continues in a delinquent status for 90 days or more, and a repayment schedule has not been made or kept by the borrower, generally a notice of intent to foreclose is sent to the borrower. If the delinquency is not cured, foreclosure proceedings are initiated. In most cases, deficiencies are cured promptly. While we generally prefer to work with borrowers to resolve such problems, we will institute foreclosure or other collection proceedings when necessary to minimize any potential loss.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when management believes the probability of collection of interest is doubtful. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income. We generally discontinue the accrual of interest income when the loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest unless the credit is well secured and we believe we will fully collect.

Real estate and other assets we acquire as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure are classified as real estate owned until sold. We did not have any real estate owned at June 30, 2006 or 2005.

Classified Assets. Federal regulations require that each insured savings institution classify its assets on a regular basis. In addition, in connection with examinations of insured institutions, federal examiners have authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, classify them. There are three classifications for problem assets: “substandard,” “doubtful” and “loss.” Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a higher possibility of loss. An asset classified loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. Another category designated “special mention” also must be established and maintained for assets which do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification as substandard, doubtful or loss. Assets classified as substandard or doubtful require the institution to establish general allowances for loan losses. If an asset or portion thereof is classified as loss, the insured institution must either establish specific allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss, or charge-off such amount. General loss allowances established to cover possible losses related to assets classified substandard or doubtful may be included in determining an institution’s regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan losses do not qualify as regulatory capital. Federal examiners may disagree with an insured institution’s classifications and amounts reserved. We did not have any classified assets at June 30, 2006.

Allowance for Loan Losses. At June 30, 2006, our allowance for loan losses amounted to $235,000. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed, to the best of our knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. The level of allowance for loan losses is based on our periodic review of the collectibility 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 any underlying collateral and prevailing conditions. We are primarily engaged in originating single-family residential loans. Our management considers the deficiencies of all classified loans in determining the amount of allowance for loan losses required at each reporting date. Our management analyzes the probability of the correction of the substandard loans’ weaknesses and the extent of any known or inherent losses that we might sustain on them.

While management believes that it determines the size of the allowance based on the best information available at the time, the allowance will need to be adjusted as circumstances change and assumptions are updated. Future adjustments to the allowance could significantly affect net income.

The following table shows changes in our allowance for loan losses during the periods presented. We did not have any charge-offs or recoveries during fiscal 2006 or 2005.

(1)		None of the listed equity securities has a stated maturity.

Mortgage-backed securities represent a participation interest in a pool of one- to four-family or multi-family mortgages. The mortgage originators use intermediaries (generally U.S. Government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises) to pool and repackage the participation interests in the form of securities, with investors receiving the principal and interest payments on the mortgages. Such U.S. Government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises guarantee the payment of principal and interest to investors.

Mortgage-backed securities are typically issued with stated principal amounts, and the securities are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans with interest rates that are within a range and have varying maturities. The underlying pool of mortgages, i.e., fixed-rate or adjustable-rate, as well as prepayment risk, are passed on to the certificate holder. The life of a mortgage-backed pass-through security approximates the life of the underlying mortgages.

Our mortgage-backed securities consist of Ginnie Mae securities (“GNMA”), Freddie Mac securities (“FHLMC”) and Fannie Mae securities (“FNMA”). Ginnie Mae is a government agency within the Department of Housing and Urban Development which is intended to help finance government-assisted housing programs. Ginnie Mae securities are backed by loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration, or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration. The timely payment of principal and interest on Ginnie Mae securities is guaranteed by Ginnie Mae and backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Freddie Mac is a private corporation chartered by the U.S. Government. Freddie Mac issues participation certificates backed principally by conventional mortgage loans. Freddie Mac guarantees the timely payment of interest and the ultimate return of principal on participation certificates. Fannie Mae is a private corporation chartered by the U.S. Congress with a mandate to establish a secondary market for mortgage loans. Fannie Mae guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on Fannie Mae securities. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae securities are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, but because Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises, these securities are considered to be among the highest quality investments with minimal credit risks.

Mortgage-backed securities generally yield less than the loans which underlie such securities because of their payment guarantees or credit enhancements which offer nominal credit risk. In addition, mortgage-backed securities are more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize our borrowings or other obligations.

The following table sets forth the composition of our mortgage-backed securities portfolio at each of the dates indicated. The amounts reflect the fair value of our mortgage-backed securities at June 30, 2006 and 2005.

Sources of Funds

General. Deposits are our primary source of funds for lending and other investment purposes. In addition to deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities are a source of funds. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by general interest rates and money market conditions. Borrowings may also be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from other sources and on a longer-term basis for general business purposes.

Deposits. We attract deposits principally from residents of Louisiana and particularly from Caddo Parish and to a lesser extent from Bossier Parish. Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the minimum balance required, the time periods the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate. We have not solicited deposits from outside Louisiana or paid fees to brokers to solicit funds for deposit.

We establish interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties on a periodic basis. Management determines the rates and terms based on rates paid by competitors, the need for funds or liquidity, growth goals and federal regulations. We attempt to control the flow of deposits by pricing our accounts to remain generally competitive with other financial institutions in the market area.

The following table shows the distribution of, and certain other information relating to, our deposits by type of deposit, as of the dates indicated.

Borrowings. We may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas upon the security of the common stock we own in that bank and certain of our residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed and other investment securities, provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. These advances are made pursuant to several credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. Federal Home Loan Bank advances are generally available to meet seasonal and other withdrawals of deposit accounts and to permit increased lending.

As of June 30, 2006, we were permitted to borrow up to an aggregate total of $88.3 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. We had $13.4 million and $8.2 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

REGULATION

Set forth below is a brief description of certain laws relating to the regulation of Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Savings and Loan. This description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable laws and regulations.

General

Home Federal Savings and Loan, as a federally chartered savings and loan association, is subject to federal regulation and oversight by the Office of Thrift Supervision extending to all aspects of its operations. Home Federal Savings and Loan also is subject to regulation and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which insures our deposits to the maximum extent permitted by law, and requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board. Federally chartered savings institutions are required to file periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and are subject to periodic examinations by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The investment and lending authority of savings institutions are prescribed by federal laws and regulations, and such institutions are prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws and regulations. Such regulation and supervision primarily is intended for the protection of depositors and not for the purpose of protecting shareholders.

Federal law provides the federal banking regulators, including the Office of Thrift Supervision and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, with substantial enforcement powers. The Office of Thrift Supervision’s enforcement authority over all savings institutions and their holding companies includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision. Any change in such regulations, whether by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of Thrift Supervision or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on Home Federal Mutual Holding Company, Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Savings and Loan and our operations.

Regulation of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company

Holding Company Acquisitions. Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company are savings and loan holding companies under the Home Owners’ Loan Act, and are registered with the Office of Thrift Supervision. Federal law generally prohibits a savings and loan holding company, without prior Office of Thrift Supervision approval, from acquiring the ownership or control of any other savings institution or savings and loan holding company, or all, or substantially all, of the assets or more than 5% of the voting shares of the savings institution or savings and loan holding company. These provisions also prohibit, among other things, any director or officer of a savings and loan holding company, or any individual who owns or controls more than 25% of the voting shares of such holding company, from acquiring control of any savings institution not a subsidiary of such savings and loan holding company, unless the acquisition is approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision.

The Office of Thrift Supervision may not approve any acquisition that would result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings institutions in more than one state, subject to two exceptions: (1) the approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies; and (2) the acquisition of a savings institution in another state if the laws of the state of the target savings institution specifically permit such acquisitions. The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company acquisitions.

Holding Company Activities. Home Federal Bancorp and Home Federal Mutual Holding Company operate as unitary savings and loan holding companies. Although savings and loan holding companies are not subject to specific capital requirements or specific restrictions on the payment of dividends or other capital distributions, federal regulations do prescribe such restrictions on subsidiary savings institutions, as described below. Home Federal Savings and Loan must notify the Office of Thrift Supervision 30 days before declaring any dividend. In addition, the financial impact of a holding company on its subsidiary institution is a matter that is evaluated by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the agency has authority to order cessation of activities or divestiture of subsidiaries deemed to pose a threat to the safety and soundness of the institution.

Waivers of Dividends by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company. It is the policy of a number of mutual holding companies to waive the receipt of dividends declared by their subsidiary companies. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations require Home Federal Mutual Holding Company to notify the Office of Thrift Supervision of any proposed waiver of its receipt of any dividends. The Office of Thrift Supervision reviews dividend waiver notices on a case-by-case basis, and, in general, does not object to any such waiver if the waiver of cash dividends would not be detrimental to the safe and sound operation of the subsidiary institution. Home Federal Mutual Holding Company waived all its dividends paid by Home Federal Bancorp during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, public stockholders are not diluted because of any dividends waived by Home Federal Mutual Holding Company would not be considered in determining an appropriate exchange ratio in the event Home Federal Mutual Holding Company converts to stock form.

Federal Securities Laws. Home Federal Bancorp registered its common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is subject to the proxy and tender offer rules, insider trading reporting requirements and restrictions, and certain other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Pursuant to Office of Thrift Supervision regulations and our plan of stock issuance, we have agreed to maintain such registration for a minimum of three years following the reorganization in January 2005.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As a public company, Home Federal Bancorp is subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which implements a broad range of corporate governance and accounting measures for public companies designed to promote honesty and transparency in corporate America and better protect investors from corporate wrongdoing. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act’s principal legislation and the derivative regulation and rule-making promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission includes:

	•		the creation of an independent accounting oversight board;

	•		auditor independence provisions that restrict non-audit services that accountants may provide to their audit clients;

	•		additional corporate governance and responsibility measures, including the requirement that the chief executive officer and chief financial officer certify financial statements;

	•		a requirement that companies establish and maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting and that a company’s management provide an annual report regarding its assessment of the effectiveness of such internal control over financial reporting to the company’s independent accountants and that such accountants provide an attestation report with respect to management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting;

	•		the forfeiture of bonuses or other incentive-based compensation and profits from the sale of an issuer’s securities by directors and senior officers in the twelve month period following initial publication of any financial statements that later require restatement;

	•		an increase in the oversight of, and enhancement of certain requirements relating to audit committees of public companies and how they interact with the company’s independent auditors;

	•		the requirement that audit committee members must be independent and are absolutely barred from accepting consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees from the issuer;

	•		the requirement that companies disclose whether at least one member of the committee is a “financial expert” (as such term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) and if not, why not;

	•		expanded disclosure requirements for corporate insiders, including accelerated reporting of stock transactions by insiders and a prohibition on insider trading during pension blackout periods;

	•		a prohibition on personal loans to directors and officers, except certain loans made by insured financial institutions;

	•		disclosure of a code of ethics and the requirement of filing of a Form 8-K for a change or waiver of such code;

	•		mandatory disclosure by analysts of potential conflicts of interest; and

	•		a range of enhanced penalties for fraud and other violations.

Although Home Federal Bancorp anticipates that it will incur additional expense in complying with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the resulting regulations, management does not expect that such compliance will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

Home Federal Savings and Loan Association

General. As the primary federal regulator of Home Federal Savings and Loan, the Office of Thrift Supervision has extensive authority over the operations of federally-chartered savings institutions. As part of this authority, Home Federal Savings and Loan is required to file periodic reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and is subject to periodic examinations by the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The investment and lending authority of savings institutions are prescribed by federal laws and regulations, and such institutions are prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws and regulations. Such regulation and supervision is primarily intended for the protection of depositors and the Deposit Insurance Fund, formerly the Savings Association Insurance Fund, administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The Office of Thrift Supervision’s enforcement authority over all savings institutions and their holding companies includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with the Office of Thrift Supervision.

Insurance of Accounts. The deposits of Home Federal Savings and Loan are insured to the maximum extent permitted by the Deposit Insurance Fund and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. As insurer, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is authorized to conduct examinations of, and to require reporting by, insured institutions. It also may prohibit any insured institution from engaging in any activity determined by regulation or order to pose a serious threat to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation also has the authority to initiate enforcement actions against savings institutions, after giving the Office of Thrift Supervision an opportunity to take such action.

Each FDIC insured institution is assigned to one of three capital groups which are based solely on the level of an institution’s capital– “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” and “undercapitalized.” These capital levels are defined in the same manner as under the prompt corrective action system discussed below. These three groups are then divided into three subgroups which reflect varying levels of supervisory concern, from those which are considered to be healthy to those which are considered to be of substantial supervisory concern. Assessment rates for insured institutions are determined semi-annually by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and currently range from zero basis points for well-capitalized healthy institutions, such as Home Federal Saving and Loan, to 27 basis points for undercapitalized institutions with substantial supervisory concern.

In addition, all institutions with deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation are required to pay assessments to fund interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation, a mixed-ownership government corporation established to recapitalize the predecessor to the Savings Association Insurance Fund. The annual assessment rate set for the second quarter of 2006 was 0.0128% of insured deposits and is adjusted quarterly. These assessments will continue until the Financing Corporation bonds mature in 2019.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution, including Home Federal Savings and Loan, if it determines after a hearing that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed by an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. It also may suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for the permanent termination of insurance, if the institution has no tangible capital. If insurance of accounts is terminated, the accounts at the institution at the time of the termination, less subsequent withdrawals, shall continue to be insured for a period of six months to two years, as determined by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management is aware of no existing circumstances which would result in termination of Home Federal Savings and Loan’s deposit insurance.

On February 8, 2006, President George W. Bush signed into law legislation that merged the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund to form the Deposit Insurance Fund, eliminated any disparities in bank and thrift risk-based premium assessments, reduced the administrative burden of maintaining and operating two separate funds and established certain new insurance coverage limits and a mechanism for possible periodic increases. The legislation also gave the FDIC greater discretion to identify the relative risks all institutions present to the Deposit Insurance Fund and set risk-based premiums.

Major provisions in the legislation include:

	•		Merging the Savings Association Insurance Fund and Bank Insurance Fund, which became effective March 31, 2006.

	•		Maintaining basic deposit and municipal account insurance coverage at $100,000 but providing for a new basic insurance coverage for retirement accounts of $250,000. Insurance coverage for basic deposit and retirement accounts could be increased for inflation every five years in $10,000 increments beginning in 2011.

	•		Providing the FDIC with the ability to set the designated reserve ratio within a range of between 1.15% and 1.50%, rather than maintaining 1.25% at all times regardless of prevailing economic conditions.

	•		Providing a one-time assessment credit of $4.7 billion to banks and savings associations in existence on December 31, 1996. The institutions qualifying for the credit may use it to offset future premiums with certain limitations.

	•		Requiring the payment of dividends of 100% of the amount that the insurance fund exceeds 1.5% of the estimated insured deposits and the payment of 50% of the amount that the insurance fund exceeds 1.35% of the estimated insured deposits (when the reserve is greater than 1.35% but no more than 1.5%).

Regulatory Capital Requirements. Federally insured savings institutions are required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital. The Office of Thrift Supervision has established capital standards consisting of a “tangible capital requirement,” a “leverage capital requirement” and “a risk-based capital requirement.” The Office of Thrift Supervision also is authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual institutions on a case-by-case basis.

Current Office of Thrift Supervision capital standards require savings institutions to satisfy the following capital requirements:

	•		tangible capital requirement – “tangible” capital equal to at least 1.5% of adjusted total assets;

	•		leverage capital requirement – “core” capital equal to at least 3.0% of adjusted total assets; and

	•		risk-based capital requirement – “total” capital (a combination of core and “supplementary” capital) equal to at least 8.0% of “risk-weighted” assets.

Core capital generally consists of common stockholders’ equity (including retained earnings). Tangible capital generally equals core capital minus intangible assets, with only a limited exception for purchased mortgage servicing rights. Home Federal Savings and Loan had no intangible assets at June 30, 2006. Both core and tangible capital are further reduced by an amount equal to a savings institution’s debt and equity investments in subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible to national banks (other than subsidiaries engaged in activities undertaken as agent for customers or in mortgage banking activities and subsidiary depository institutions or their holding companies). These adjustments do not affect Home Federal Savings and Loan’s regulatory capital.

In determining compliance with the risk-based capital requirement, a savings institution is allowed to include both core capital and supplementary capital in its total capital, provided that the amount of supplementary capital included does not exceed the savings institution’s core capital. Supplementary capital generally consists of general allowances for loan losses up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, together with certain other items. In determining the required amount of risk-based capital, total assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, are multiplied by a risk weight based on the risks inherent in the type of assets. The risk weights range from 0% for cash and securities issued by the U.S. Government or unconditionally backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government to 100% for loans (other than qualifying residential loans weighted at 80%) and repossessed assets.

Savings institutions must value securities available for sale at amortized cost for regulatory capital purposes. This means that in computing regulatory capital, savings institutions should add back any unrealized losses and deduct any unrealized gains, net of income taxes, on debt securities reported as a separate component of GAAP capital.

At June 30, 2006, Home Federal Savings and Loan exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements, with tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios of 23.48%, 23.48% and 87.78%, respectively.

Any savings institution that fails any of the capital requirements is subject to possible enforcement actions by the Office of Thrift Supervision or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Such actions could include a capital directive, a cease and desist order, civil money penalties, the establishment of restrictions on the institution’s operations, termination of federal deposit insurance and the appointment of a conservator or receiver. The Office of Thrift Supervision’s capital regulation provides that such actions, through enforcement proceedings or otherwise, could require one or more of a variety of corrective actions.

Prompt Corrective Action. The following table shows the amount of capital associated with the different capital categories set forth in the prompt corrective action regulations.

Adequately capitalized

8% or more

4% or more

Undercapitalized

Less than 8%

Less than 4%

Significantly undercapitalized

Less than 6%

Less than 3%

In addition, an institution is “critically undercapitalized” if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%. Under specified circumstances, a federal banking agency may reclassify a well capitalized institution as adequately capitalized and may require an adequately capitalized institution or an undercapitalized institution to comply with supervisory actions as if it were in the next lower category (except that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation may not reclassify a significantly undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized).

An institution generally must file a written capital restoration plan which meets specified requirements within 45 days of the date that the institution receives notice or is deemed to have notice that it is undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized. A federal banking agency must provide the institution with written notice of approval or disapproval within 60 days after receiving a capital restoration plan, subject to extensions by the agency. An institution which is required to submit a capital restoration plan must concurrently submit a performance guaranty by each company that controls the institution. In addition, undercapitalized institutions are subject to various regulatory restrictions, and the appropriate federal banking agency also may take any number of discretionary supervisory actions.

At June 30, 2006, Home Federal Savings and Loan was deemed a well capitalized institution for purposes of the above regulations and as such is not subject to the above mentioned restrictions.

The table below sets forth Home Federal Savings and Loan’s capital position relative to its regulatory capital requirements at June 30, 2006.

Capital Distributions. Office of Thrift Supervision regulations govern capital distributions by savings institutions, which include cash dividends, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the capital account of a savings institution to make capital distributions. A savings institution must file an application for Office of Thrift Supervision approval of the capital distribution if either (1) the total capital distributions for the applicable calendar year exceed the sum of the institution’s net income for that year to date plus the institution’s retained net income for the preceding two years, (2) the institution would not be at least adequately capitalized following the distribution, (3) the distribution would violate any applicable statute, regulation, agreement or Office of Thrift Supervision-imposed condition, or (4) the institution is not eligible for expedited treatment of its filings. If an application is not required to be filed, savings institutions which are a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company (as well as certain other institutions) must still file a notice with the Office of Thrift Supervision at least 30 days before the board of directors declares a dividend or approves a capital distribution.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test. All savings institutions are required to meet a qualified thrift lender, or QTL, test to avoid certain restrictions on their operations. A savings institution can comply with the QTL test by either qualifying as a domestic building and loan association as defined in the Internal Revenue Code or meeting the Office of Thrift Supervision QTL test.

Currently, the Office of Thrift Supervision QTL test requires that 65% of an institution’s “portfolio assets” (as defined) consist of certain housing and consumer-related assets on a monthly average basis in nine out of every 12 months. To be a qualified thrift lender under the IRS test, the savings institution must meet a “business operations test” and a “60 percent assets test,” each defined in the Internal Revenue Code.

If the savings institution fails to maintain its QTL status, the holding company’s activities are restricted. In addition, it must discontinue any non-permissible business, although the Office of Thrift Supervision may grant a grace period up to two years for good cause. Nonetheless, any company that controls a savings institution that is not a qualified thrift lender must register as a bank holding company within one year of the savings institution’s failure to meet the QTL test.

Statutory penalty provisions require an institution that fails to remain a QTL to either become a national bank or be prohibited from the following:

	•		Making any new investments or engaging in any new activity not allowed for both a national bank and a savings association;

	•		Establishing any new branch office unless allowable for a national bank; and

	•		Paying dividends unless allowable for a national bank.

Three years from the date a savings association should have become or ceases to be a QTL, by failing to meet either QTL test, the institution must comply with the following restriction:

•

Dispose of any investment or not engage in any activity unless the investment or activity is allowed for both a national bank and a savings association.

At June 30, 2006, the qualified thrift investments of Home Federal Savings and Loan were approximately 95.01% of its portfolio assets.

Affiliate Transaction Restrictions. Federal laws strictly limit the ability of savings institutions to engage in transactions with their affiliates, including their savings and loan holding companies. Except for certain exceptions set forth in the Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, a savings association must comply with sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation W which implements those statutory provisions. Those statutory and regulatory provisions apply to transactions between a subsidiary institution and its parent company or the non-savings institution subsidiaries of the savings and loan holding company and are limited to 10% of a savings institution’s capital and surplus and, with respect to such parent company and all such non-savings institution subsidiaries, to an aggregate of 20% of the savings institution’s capital and surplus. Further, loans and extensions of credit generally are required to be secured by eligible collateral in specified amounts. Federal law also requires that all transactions between a savings institution and its affiliates be on terms as favorable to the savings institution as transactions with non-affiliates. Home Federal Savings and Loan believes that all transactions between it and its affiliates at June 30, 2006 were on terms as favorable to it as its transactions with non-affiliates.

Privacy Requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 provided for sweeping financial modernization for commercial banks, savings banks, securities firms, insurance companies, and other financial institutions operating in the United States. Among other provisions, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act places limitations on the sharing of consumer financial information with unaffiliated third parties. Specifically, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires all financial institutions offering financial products or services to retail customers to provide such customers with the financial institution’s privacy policy and provide such customers the opportunity to “opt out” of the sharing of personal financial information with unaffiliated third parties.

Anti-Money Laundering. On October 26, 2001, in response to the events of September 11, 2001, the President of the United States signed into law the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (referred to as the USA PATRIOT Act). The USA PATRIOT Act significantly expands the responsibilities of financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, in preventing the use of the U.S. financial system to fund terrorist activities. Title III of the USA PATRIOT Act provides for a significant overhaul of the U.S. anti-money laundering regime. Among other provisions, it requires financial institutions operating in the United States to develop new anti-money laundering compliance programs, due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of money laundering. Such compliance programs are intended to supplement existing compliance requirements, also applicable to financial institutions, under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulations. We have established policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act’s provisions, and the impact of the USA PATRIOT Act on our operations has not been material.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. Home Federal Savings and Loan is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, which is one of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks that administers the home financing credit function of savings institutions. Each Federal Home Loan Bank serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank. At June 30, 2006, Home Federal Savings and Loan had $13.4 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

As a member, Home Federal Savings and Loan is required to purchase and maintain stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas in an amount equal to at least 1% of its aggregate unpaid residential mortgage loans or similar obligations at the beginning of each year. At June 30, 2006, Home Federal Savings and Loan had $649,200 in Federal Home Loan Bank stock, which was in compliance with this requirement.

The Federal Home Loan Banks are required to provide funds for the resolution of troubled savings institutions and to contribute to affordable housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing projects. These contributions have adversely affected the level of Federal Home Loan Bank dividends paid in the past and could do so in the future. These contributions also could have an adverse effect on the value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock in the future.

Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW and Super NOW checking accounts) and non-personal time deposits. Because required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or a noninterest-bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of this reserve requirement is to reduce an institution’s earning assets. At June 30, 2006 Home Federal Savings and Loan had met its reserve requirement.

TAXATION

Federal Taxation

General. Home Federal Bancorp, Home Federal Mutual Holding Company and Home Federal Savings and Loan are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations with some exceptions listed below. The following discussion of federal, state and local income taxation is only intended to summarize certain pertinent income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the applicable tax rules. Home Federal Savings and Loan’s federal and state income tax returns for taxable years through December 31, 2002 have been closed for purposes of examination by the Internal Revenue Service or the Louisiana Department of Revenue. As a result, all tax returns through that date may no longer be audited by either tax authority.

Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, Home Federal Savings and Loan reports income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and used a December 31 tax year in 2004 for filing its federal income tax return and transitioned to a June 30 tax year in 2005.

Bad Debt Reserves. The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 eliminated the use of the reserve method of accounting for bad debt reserves by savings associations, effective for taxable years beginning after 1995. Prior to that time, Home Federal Savings and Loan was permitted to establish a reserve for bad debts and to make additions to the reserve. These additions could, within specified formula limits, be deducted in arriving at taxable income. As a result of the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, savings associations must use the experience method in computing their bad debt deduction beginning with their 1996 federal tax return. In addition, federal legislation required the recapture over a six year period of the excess of tax bad debt reserves at December 31, 1995 over those established as of December 31, 1987.

Taxable Distributions and Recapture. Prior to the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, bad debt reserves created prior to January 1, 1988 were subject to recapture into taxable income if Home Federal Savings and Loan failed to meet certain thrift asset and definitional tests. New federal legislation eliminated these savings association related recapture rules. However, under current law, pre-1988 reserves remain subject to recapture should Home Federal Savings and Loan make certain non-dividend distributions or cease to maintain a bank charter.

At June 30, 2006, the total federal pre-1988 reserve was approximately $3.3 million. The reserve reflects the cumulative effects of federal tax deductions by Home Federal Savings and Loan for which no federal income tax provisions have been made.

Alternative Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences. The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent such alternative minimum tax income is in excess of the regular income tax. Net operating losses, of which Home Federal Savings and Loan has none, can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. Home Federal Savings and Loan has not been subject to the alternative minimum tax or any such amounts available as credits for carryover.

Net Operating Loss Carryovers. For net operating losses in tax years beginning before August 6, 1997, Home Federal Savings and Loan may carry back net operating losses to the three years preceding the loss year and then forward to fifteen years following the loss years. For net operating losses in years beginning after August 5, 1997, net operating losses can be carried back to the two years preceding the loss year and forward to the 20 years following the loss year. At June 30, 2006, Home Federal Savings and Loan had no net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes.

Corporate Dividends-Received Deduction. Home Federal Bancorp may exclude from its income 100% of dividends received from Home Federal Savings and Loan as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations. The corporate dividends received deduction is 80% in the case of dividends received from corporations which a corporate recipient owns less than 80%, but at least 20% of the distribution corporation. Corporations which own less than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend may deduct only 70% of dividends received.

State Taxation

Home Federal Bancorp is subject to the Louisiana Corporation Income Tax based on our Louisiana taxable income. The Corporation Income Tax applies at graduated rates from 4% upon the first $25,000 of Louisiana taxable income to 8% on all Louisiana taxable income in excess of $200,000. For these purposes, “Louisiana taxable income” means net income which is earned by us within or derived from sources within the State of Louisiana, after adjustments permitted under Louisiana law, including a federal income tax deduction. In addition, Home Federal Savings and Loan will be subject to the Louisiana Shares Tax which is imposed on the assessed value of a company’s stock. The formula for deriving the assessed value is to calculate 15% of the sum of:

(a) 20% of our capitalized earnings, plus

(b) 80% of our taxable stockholders’ equity, minus

Various items may also be subtracted in calculating a company’s capitalized earnings.
