The Board of Directors
Home Federal Corporation

      We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statement of financial 
condition of Home Federal Corporation and Subsidiaries (Corporation) as of 
March 31, 1995 and the related consolidated statement of changes in 
stockholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and the 
consolidated statements of operation for the three months ended March 31, 1995
and 1994 and consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Corporation's management.

      We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by 
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim 
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures 
to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial 
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit 
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards the 
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such
an opinion.

      Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

considered impaired when, in the judgement of management, the probability of
collection of principal or interest is deemed to be insufficient to warrant
further accrual. A summary of nonaccrual and impaired loans as of March 31,

                   HOME FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 For the Three Months Ended March 31, 1995

GENERAL

     Home Federal Corporation (Corporation) is the unitary savings and loan
holding company of Home Federal Savings Bank (Savings Bank) and its
subsidiaries. The Corporation and its subsidiaries are sometimes collectively
referred to herein as "Home Federal." The Corporation currently owns 100% of
the issued and outstanding common stock of the Savings Bank, which is the 
principal asset of the Corporation.


Financial Condition

     The Corporation's total assets increased $2.4 million or 1.2% to $209.0
million from December 31, 1994 to March 31, 1995, due primarily to a $1.9
million increase in net loans, and a $1.1 million increase in real estate owned
held for sale, net (REO), which increases were partially offset by a $241,000
decrease in cash and cash equivalents, a $321,000 decrease in mortgage-backed
securities and a $200,000 decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. The
Corporation's total liabilities increased by $1.4 million or 0.7% to $193.3
million from December 31, 1994 to March 31, 1995, primarily due to a $6.1
million increase in savings accounts, and a $311,000 increase in advances by
borrowers for taxes and insurance, which increases were offset to some extent
by a $5.0 million decrease in borrowings. Stockholders' equity increased $1.0
million to $15.7 million at March 31, 1995 due to a $381,000 increase in
retained earnings and a $634,000 decrease in unrealized losses on
mortgage-backed securities available for sale.


Nonperforming Assets

     The Corporation's nonperforming assets increased by $1.6 or 0.7% from
$22.6 million or 10.9% of total assets at December 31, 1994 to $24.2 million or
11.6% of total assets at March 31, 1995. Nonperforming assets increased $1.6
million during the quarter ended March 31, 1995 due to the Bank's
classification of a $3.5 million land acquisition and development loan as
impaired at March 31, 1995, because of the probable inability of the borrower
to repay the loan under its present terms upon its maturity later this year.
The loan is current at April 20, 1995 and management believes its collateral is
adequate. At March 31, 1995, the allowances for possible loan losses amounted
to $5.2 million or 3.8% of loans, net, and 31.5% of total nonperforming loans.
At March 31, 1995, the allowance for losses on REO amounted to $2.1 million or
27.5% of REO, net. While management presently believes that its allowances for
possible loan losses and REO losses are adequate, no assurance can be given
that future provisions for possible loan or REO losses may not be necessary.
See Note B of the unaudited notes to consolidated financial statements.









RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 1995 and 1994


Net Income

     Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1995 amounted to 
$381,000 compared to net income of $340,000 during the comparable period in
1994. The increase in net income was due to decreases in other expenses and
provision for income taxes, which were partially offset by decreases in net
interest income and other income. All of such changes are described in further
detail below.


Net Interest Income

     Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1995 decreased
by $15,000 over the same period in 1994 due to an increase in interest expense
which more than offset an increase in interest income. Interest income for
the three months ended March 31, 1995 increased by $382,000 or 11.0% compared
to the same period in 1994, while interest expense increased by $397,000 or
24.0% during the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to the same
period in the prior year. The increase in interest income was due primarily to
an increase in the average balance of loans receivable, mortgage-backed and
investment securities and an increase in the average rate earned on mortgage-
backed and investment securities. Such increases were offset by decreases in
the average balance of short-term interest bearing deposits and federal funds.
The primary reason for the increase in the average balance of loans receivable
was the Savings Bank's emphasis during 1994 and 1995 on originations of
adjustable rate mortgages, fixed-rate 10 to 15 year mortgages and consumer
loans. The increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed and investment
securities was due to the Savings Bank's restructuring the composition of its
assets during 1994. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result
of increases in the average balances of advances from the FHLB of Atlanta and
savings accounts and the average rate paid thereon. The increase in the average
balance of savings accounts was due to competitive pricing. The average balance
of advances from the FHLB of Atlanta increased primarily due to the Savings
Bank utilizing advances from the FHLB of Atlanta to purchase investment and
mortgage-backed securities during late 1994.

     The Savings Bank's interest rate spread decreased from 4.2% during the
three months ended March 31, 1994 to 3.9% during the three months ended March
31, 1995, and the ratio of interest earning assets to interest-bearing
liabilities decreased from 99.3% during the three months ended March 31, 1994
to 99.0% during the three months ended March 31, 1995. The decrease in the
interest rate spread in 1995 was due in large part to the general higher level
of market interest rates and the change in the Savings Bank's asset and 
liability mix. While Home Federal will use its best efforts to maintain the 
interest rate spread and net yield on interest earning assets at present 
levels, no assurance can be given that such spread and yield will be maintained
due to the uncertainty concerning the future performance of its nonperforming 
assets, the level of refinancings and the general condition of the economy.


Other Income

     Other income totalled $421,000 and $503,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The $82,000 decrease in 1995 was
primarily due to decreases in income related to loan originations, loan sales
and loan servicing, which was partially offset by increases in stockbrokerage
and insurance commissions and increased fees on checking and savings accounts.
While the Savings Bank intends to continue to sell certain mortgage loans in
the secondary market without recourse, the amount of the gain, if any, from the
sale of such loans will depend on the level of loan sales and market
conditions. Further, the amount of loan servicing income may increase or
decrease depending on the level of the Savings Bank's loan servicing portfolio.
The Savings Bank's loan servicing portfolio decreased $493,000 during the three
months ended March 31, 1995 primarily due to repayments during the period.


Operating Expenses
     Operating expenses amounted to $1.8 million and $1.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. During the three months
ended March 31, 1995 the Corporation experienced decreases in expenses
associated with REO operations, net and impaired loan expenses, other operating
expenses and provision for losses on REO which were offset by increases in
employee compensation and benefits, office occupancy and equipment expense and
advertising and promotion. REO operations, net and impaired loans expenses
decreased due to decreased costs associated with such properties, particularly
appraisal and legal expenses. Other operating expenses decreased due to
decreases in professional fees, insurance expense, bank charges and provision
for possible losses on other assets. Employee compensation and benefits
increased due to increased profit sharing expenses and merit increases.


Income Taxes

     Home Federal's income tax benefit totaled $4,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 as compared to income tax expense of $103,000 during the
same period in the prior year. The decrease in the provision for income taxes
is primarily attributable to continuing taxable income which allowed for a
reduction in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.


ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

     Home Federal has undertaken a variety of strategies to better match the
interest-rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities. Home Federal's
present policy is to emphasize the origination for portfolio of interest-
sensitive loan products such as adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans,
short-term residential construction loans to individuals and a variety of
consumer loans. With respect to Home Federal's single-family residential loan
originations, the Savings Bank originates both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate
loans. Single-family, fixed-rate loans are originated primarily for resale in
the secondary market, thereby reducing Home Federal's interest rate risk. In
1994, Home Federal instituted a program whereby it will generally retain
fixed-rate single-family loans with a 10 or 15 year maturity in its portfolio.
Home Federal generally retains single-family adjustable-rate loans in
portfolio. During the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, Home Federal
originated $6.8 million and $7.4 million, respectively, of single-family
residential loans. Of such amounts, $5.1 million and $3.6 million provided for
periodic adjustment of interest rates, or 75.0% and 48.6% of single-family 
residential loans originated by Home Federal during the respective periods. 
During 1995, Home Federal has originated $260,000 of fixed-rate loans with 10
or 15 year maturities.

     Home Federal also has continued to originate both commercial business
(primarily automobile floor plan loans) and consumer loans, which generally
have shorter terms and/or rates that vary with interest rate indices and
higher yields than residential mortgage loans. Consumer and commercial
business loan originations amounted to $3.5 million during the three months
ended March 31, 1995 as compared to $3.0 million during the comparable 
period in 1994.

     Rates of interest paid on deposits at Home Federal are priced to be
sufficiently competitive in its primary market area in order to meet its
asset/liability management objectives and requirements for funds, but are
typically not the highest rates available. This policy helps Home Federal
control its cost of funds. Home Federal maintains a tiered pricing program for
some of its certificate accounts, pursuant to which higher rates of interest
are paid for longer-term certificate accounts. Home Federal relies on savings
deposits, loan repayments and advances from the FHLB of Atlanta to fund loan
originations and commitments.


REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

     The Savings Bank is subject to regulations of the OTS that impose
certain minimum regulatory capital requirements. At March 31, 1995 the 
Savings Bank's tangible, core and risk-based capital exceeded regulatory 
requirements. The following table summarizes, as of March 31, 1995, the 
Savings Bank's regulatory capital requirements, the amount of its actual 
capital and the amount of its excess capital on a dollar and percentage basis.

Risk-based                  13.0          8.0          5.0

</TABLE>

     There can be no assurance that the Savings Bank will not be subject to
additional capital requirements in the future, either as a result of
regulations, guidelines and policies of general applicability or individual
regulatory capital requirements which may be applied to the Savings Bank.


Liquidity

      Home Federal is required under applicable Federal regulations to maintain
specified levels of "liquid" investments including United States government and
Federal agency securities and other investments. Regulations currently in
effect require Home Federal to maintain liquid assets of not less than 5% of
its net withdrawable accounts plus short-term borrowings, of which short-term
liquid assets must consist of not less than 1%. These levels are changed from
time to time by the OTS to reflect economic conditions. Liquidity is influenced
by general economic conditions, financial market conditions and fluctuations in
the interest rates and products offered by competing entities. Home Federal's
regulatory liquidity ratio averaged 7.7% for the month ended March 31, 1995. At
March 31, 1995, Home Federal was required to maintain liquid investments
amounting to $9.2 million, none of which were pledged to secure advances from
the FHLB of Atlanta.

      The principal sources of funds to Home Federal are savings accounts,
amortization and prepayments of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed
securities, sales of loans, FHLB advances and other borrowings. During the
past several years, Home Federal has used such funds primarily to meet its
ongoing commitments to fund maturing savings certificates and savings
withdrawals, fund existing and continuing loan commitments, purchase
mortgage-backed securities and maintain its liquidity.

      At March 31, 1995, the total of approved loan origination commitments 
amounted to $1.7 million, exclusive of loans in process. The amount of savings
certificates which are scheduled to mature during the twelve months ended March
31, 1995 is $55.2 million. Management believes that, by evaluating competitive
instruments and prices in its market area, it can, in most circumstances,
manage and control maturing deposits so that a portion of such maturing
deposits will be redeposited in the Savings Bank. During the three months ended
March 31, 1995, the Savings Bank experienced a $6.1 million increase in savings
accounts. The Savings Bank utilized these funds to repay $5.0 million of FHLB
advances during the three months ended March 31, 1995.


IMPACT OF INFLATION ON CHANGING PRICES

      The consolidated financial statements and related data presented herein
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in
terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative
purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
 
      Unlike many industrial corporations, virtually all of the assets and
liabilities of Home Federal are monetary in nature. As a result, interest
rates have a more significant impact on Home Federal's performance than the
effects of general levels of inflation. Over short periods of time, interest
rates may not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude
as the prices of goods and services, since such prices are affected by
inflation to a larger extent than interest rates.
