NOTE 5.     EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share ("EPS") is computed in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which
was adopted by HCFC as of December 31, 1997.  Common stock equivalents
include shares held by the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP")
that are committed for release, shares awarded but not released under the
Company's Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP"), and stock options granted
under the Stock Option Plan ("SOP").  Following is a reconciliation of the

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

Safe Harbor Clause

    This report contains certain "forward-looking statements."  The Company
desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this statement for
the express purpose of availing itself of the protection of such safe harbor
with respect to all such forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking
statements, which are included in Management's Discussion and Analysis,
describe future plans or strategies and include the Company's expectations of
future financial results.  The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate,"
"estimate," "project," and similar expressions identify forward-looking
statements.  The Company's ability to predict results or the effect of future
plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.  Factors which could affect
actual results include interest rate trends, the general economic climate in
the Company's market area and the country as a whole, loan delinquency rates,
and changes in federal and state regulations.  These factors should be
considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance
should not be placed on such statements.  See Exhibit 99 attached hereto,
"Safe Harbor Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995",
which is incorporated by reference.

General

    In September 1996, the Board of Directors of Home City Federal Savings
Bank of Springfield ("Bank") adopted a Plan of Conversion ("Plan") whereby
the Bank would convert to the stock form of ownership, followed by the issuance
of all the Bank's outstanding stock to a newly formed holding company, Home
City Financial Corporation ("Company").  Pursuant to the Plan, the Company
offered common shares for sale to certain depositors of the Bank and members
of the community.  The conversion was completed on December 30, 1996, and
resulted in the issuance of 952,200 common shares of the Company which, after
consideration of offering expenses totaling approximately $447,000 and
$762,000 in shares purchased by the ESOP ("Employee Stock Ownership Plan"),
resulted in net capital proceeds of $8.3 million.   Consolidated financial
statements of the Company are presented herein.  Future references are made
either to the Company or the Bank as applicable.

    The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company whose activities
are primarily limited to holding the stock of the Bank.  The Bank conducts a
general banking business in west central Ohio which consists of attracting
deposits from the general public and applying those funds to the origination
of loans for residential, consumer and non-residential purposes. The Bank
also originates loans for the construction of residential real estate and loans
secured by multifamily real estate (over four units), commercial loans and
consumer loans.  The Bank's profitability is significantly dependent on net
interest income which is the difference between interest income generated
from interest-earning assets (i.e., loans and investments) and the interest
expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities (i.e., customer deposits and
borrowed funds).  Net interest income is affected by the relative amount of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and interest
received or paid on these balances.  The level of interest rates paid or
received by the Bank can be significantly influenced by a number of
environmental factors, such as governmental monetary policy, that are outside
of management control.


    Earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income by the
weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the three- and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.  ESOP shares subject to a loan pledge
agreement  are not considered to be outstanding shares for the purpose of
determining the weighted-average number of shares used in the earnings per
common share calculation.

    The consolidated financial information presented herein has been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and
general accounting practices within the financial services industry.

<PAGE>

In preparing consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and
expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from such
estimates.

    The Bank is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and its
deposits are insured up to applicable limits under the Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").

    The Bank is a member of the FHLB, conducting its business through its
office located in Springfield, Ohio.  The primary market area of the Bank is
Clark County, Ohio, and contiguous counties.

Effect of Year 2000

     Home City did not experience any problems as the year changed from 1999
to 2000.  Management had placed significant emphasis on ensuring that its
operating systems were Year 2000 ("Y2K") compliant.

     In mid-1997, the Board of Directors had appointed a Year 2000 Committee
to address the operating systems that were at risk and to develop an Action
Plan Year 2000.  As operating risks were identified, Home City repaired,
replaced or upgraded the related equipment and systems.  Home City was
primarily reliant on third-party vendors for its computer output and
processing, so considerable effort was placed on assessing their Y2K
readiness.  A business resumption contingency plan was developed inclusive
of cash management aspects to minimize or avoid any possible customer
inconvenience.

     Home City had projected costs of $79,000 for Y2K preparedness.  Some of
the major factors included were the use of external consultants, purchases of
hardware and software, the purchase, printing and delivery of customer
awareness materials and the borrowing and lost opportunity costs associated
with the build-up of a sufficient source of cash to meet customer needs.
Actual expenses amounted to approximately $83,000, the bulk of which was
reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements for 1999.


                        Changes in Financial Condition

    At June 30, 2000, the consolidated assets of the Company totaled $113.6
million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 2.67%, and $5.7 million, or 5.24%,
from $110.7 million and $108.0 at March 31, 2000, and December 31, 1999,
respectively.  The increase in total assets was primarily the result of a
$6.9 million increase in loans receivable funded primarily by a $3.1 million
increase in advances from the FHLB and a $2.6 million increase in deposits.

    Net loans receivable increased by $2.8 million during the three months
ended June 30, 2000, in addition to the  $4.1 million increase during the
first three months of 2000.  The total increase in loans outstanding since
December 31, 1999, was $6.9 million, or 7.14%.  The increase was primarily in
the non-residential real estate and commercial loan portfolio.

    Investment securities increased $269,000, or 8.83%, from $3.0 million at
December 31, 1999, to $3.3 million at June 30, 2000.  The increase was
primarily the result of the net increase in the Bank's municipal bond holdings.

    During the six months ended June 30, 2000, $51,000 of principal payments
were received on mortgage- backed and related securities.   No other
transactions, purchases or sales, occurred during the period.

<PAGE>

    Deposit liabilities increased $2.6 million, or 3.77%, from $69.7 million
at December 31, 1999, to $72.3 million at June 30, 2000.  Management
attributes the increase to the maintenance of competitive rates in the Bank's
market area.  Interest credited on accounts also contributed to the increase.

    Advances from the FHLB increased $3.1 million, or 11.56%, from $26.5
million at December 31, 1999, to $29.6 million at June 30, 2000.  The funds
obtained were utilized to support the increased loan demand.

    Total shareholders' equity remained relatively constant, decreasing
$66,000, or 0.59%,  from December 31, 1999, to June 30, 2000.  This decrease
was primarily the result of a $346,000 purchase of treasury shares, the
$172,000 cash dividend payments and the $46,000 unrealized losses on
securities available-for-sale, all of which were partially offset by the
$489,000 of first half 2000 earnings and the $9,000 RRP distribution.

    The Bank's liquidity, primarily represented by cash and cash equivalents,
is a result of its operating, investing and financing activities.  Principal
sources of funds are deposits, loan and mortgage-backed securities
repayments, maturities of securities and other funds provided by operations.
The Bank also has the ability to borrow from the FHLB and other local
financial institutions.  While scheduled loan repayments and maturing
investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan and
mortgage-backed security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates,
general economic conditions and competition.  The Bank maintains investments
in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (i) the need for funds,
(ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) the yields available on short-term liquid
assets and (iv) the objectives of the asset/liability  management program.
In the ordinary course of business,  part of such liquid investments
portfolio is composed of deposits at correspondent banks.  Although the amount
on deposit at such banks often exceeds the $100,000 limit covered by FDIC
insurance, the Bank monitors the capital of such institutions to ensure that
such deposits do not expose the Bank to undue risk of loss.

    OTS regulations presently require the Bank to maintain an average daily
balance of liquid assets, which may include, but are not limited to,
investments in United States Treasury, federal agency obligations and other
investments having maturities of five years or less, in an amount equal to 4%
of the sum of the Bank's average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit
accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less.  The liquidity
requirement, which may be changed from time to time by the OTS to reflect
changing economic conditions, is intended to provide a source of relatively
liquid funds upon which the Bank may rely if necessary to fund deposit
withdrawals or other short-term funding needs.  At June 30, 2000, the Bank's
regulatory liquidity ratio was 7.23%.  At such date, the Bank had commitments
to originate loans totaling $8.6 million, no commitments to purchase or sell
loans and a commitment of $2.8 million for the construction of a new main
office.  The Bank considers its liquidity and capital reserves sufficient to
meet its outstanding short- and long-term needs.  Adjustments to liquidity
and capital reserves may be necessary, however, if loan demand increases more
than expected or if deposits decrease substantially.

    The Bank is required by applicable law and regulation to meet certain
minimum capital standards.  Such capital standards include a tangible capital
requirement, a core capital requirement or leverage ratio and a risk-based
capital requirement.  See "Note 4 - Regulatory Capital."  The Bank exceeded
all of its capital requirements at June 30, 2000.

    Savings associations are required to maintain "tangible capital" of not
less than 1.5% of the association's adjusted total assets.  Tangible capital
is defined in OTS regulations as core capital less intangible assets.

    Core capital is comprised of common stockholders' equity (including
retained earnings), noncumulative preferred stock and related surplus,
minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, certain nonwithdrawable
accounts and pledged deposits of mutual associations.  OTS regulations require

<PAGE>

savings associations, except for associations that meet certain requirements,
to maintain core capital of at least 4% of the association's adjusted total
assets.

    OTS regulations require that savings associations maintain "risk-based
capital" in an amount not less than 8.0% of risk-weighted assets.  Assets are
weighted at percentage levels ranging from 0% to 100% depending on their
relative risk.  Risk-based capital is defined as core capital plus certain
additional items of capital, which in the case of the Bank includes a general
loan loss allowance of $488,000 at June 30, 2000.

    At June 30, 2000, the Bank had committed to capital expenditures of $2.8
million for the construction of a new main office and operations center
scheduled for completion in mid 2001.

    On February 28, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.105 per share to each shareholder
of record on March 9, 2000,  paid on March 15, 2000.  On May 22, 2000, the
Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend in the
amount of $0.105 per share to each shareholder of record on June 5, 2000,
paid on June 15, 2000.


                           Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

    General.  Net income decreased $2,000, or 0.80%, from $250,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, to $248,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2000. This decrease was primarily attributed to $78,000 more noninterest
expense which was partially offset by an increase of $68,000 in noninterest
income, and decreases in the provisions for federal income tax expense and
possible loan losses.

    Interest Income.  The $19.6 million increase in average earning assets
contributed to an increase in interest income of $420,000, or 21.88%, for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to 1999.  The increase was
attributed mainly to the additional loan income of $396,000 resulting from an
increase in loans receivable.  Of the overall increase in interest income,
$432,000 is attributable to earning asset volume increases offset by a
decrease of $12,000 attributable to rate or yield.

    Interest Expense.  Interest expense on deposit liabilities increased
$165,000, or 21.15%, for the three months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to
the same period in 1999.  The total average deposits increased by $8.8 million
comparing the quarter ended June 30, 2000 to 1999, and the average interest
rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased by 30 basis points from
5.15% for the three months ended June 30, 1999, to 5.45% for the same period
ended June 30, 2000.  The average balance of FHLB advances increased from
$17.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1999, to $28.2
million for the same period ended June 30, 2000, resulting in an increase
in interest on FHLB advances of $187,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2000, compared to the same period ended June 30, 1999.  Of the overall
increase in interest expense, $264,000 is attributable to interest costing
liability volume increases and $88,000 is attributable to increases in rates
paid.

    Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses was $10,000 and
there were net charge-offs of $28,000 during the three months ended June 30,
2000, compared to a $12,000 provision and charge-offs of $14,000 during the
three months ended June 30, 1999.  The provision was decreased based upon the
results of the ongoing loan reviews and composition of the loan portfolio.

<PAGE>

    Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased by $1,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999.  The
increase was related to an increase of $5,000 in miscellaneous fees and
charges offset by a decrease of $4,000 in income from life insurance
contracts.

    Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense increased $78,000, or 13.40%, to
$660,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000, from $582,000 in the
comparable period in 1999.  Of this increase, $38,000 was attributable to an
increase in compensation and benefit expense in 2000, reflecting the expense
associated with additional staffing related to preparations for the new main
office operations.  The annualized ratio of noninterest expense to average
total assets was 2.35% and 2.55% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999, respectively.

    Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes decreased $5,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2000, compared with the prior year, primarily
as a result of composition of the taxable and non-taxable income for the
quarter.


Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

    General.  Net income increased $20,000, or 4.26%, from $469,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999, to $489,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2000.  This increase was primarily attributed to an increase of $170,000 in
net interest income, an increase of  $27,000 in noninterest income and
decreases in the provisions for federal income tax expense and possible loan
losses, partially offset by an increase of $192,000 in noninterest expense.

    Interest Income.  The $19.7 million increase in average earning assets
contributed to an increase in interest income of $838,000, or 22.37%, for the
six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to 1999.  The increase was
attributed to the additional loan income of $788,000 resulting from an
increase in loans receivable, and an increase of $50,000 in interest income on
other earning assets.  Of the overall increase in interest income, $866,000
is attributable to earning asset volume increases offset by a decrease of
$28,000 attributable to rate or yield.

     Interest Expense.  Interest expense on deposit liabilities increased
$307,000, or 19.82%, for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to
the same period in 1999.  Although total average interest-bearing deposits
increased by $8.6 million comparing the six months ended June 30, 2000 to
1999, the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased
by 25 basis points from 5.16% for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999, to
5.41% for the same period ended June 30, 2000.  The average balance of FHLB
advances increased from $15.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30,
1999, to $27.3 million for the same period ended June 30, 2000, resulting in
an increase in interest on FHLB advances of $361,000 for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period ended June 30, 1999.  Of the
overall increase in interest expense, $526,000 is attributable to interest
costing liability volume increases and $142,000 is attributable to increases
in rates paid.

    Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses was $25,000 and
there were net charge-offs of $28,000 during the six months ended June 30,
2000, compared to a $29,000 provision and net charge-offs of $23,000 during
the six months ended June 30, 1999.  The provision was decreased based upon
the results of the ongoing loan reviews and composition of the loan portfolio.

<PAGE>

    Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased by $27,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same period in 1999.  The
increase was related to an increase of  $14,000 in income from life insurance
contracts and an increase of $13,000 in miscellaneous fees and charges.

    Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense increased $192,000, or 17.13%,
to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, from $1.1 million in
the comparable period in 1999.  Of this increase, $90,000 was attributable to
an increase in compensation and benefit expense in 2000, reflecting additional
staffing related to preparations for the new main office operations.  The
annualized ratio of noninterest expense to average total assets was 2.37% and
2.51% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

    Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes decreased $11,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, compared with the prior year, primarily as a
result of composition of the taxable and non-taxable income for the six month
period.
