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 
June 30, 1996 and the related consolidated statement of changes in 
stockholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the 
consolidated statements of operation for the three and six months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995 and consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995. 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.

                   HOME FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE A - Basis of Presentation

     In the opinion of Home Federal Corporation (Home Federal or the
Corporation), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair presentation of Home Federal's financial condition as of
June 30, 1996 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995.

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial 
statements and the notes included in Home Federal's Annual Report for the 
year ended December 31, 1995.

     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" establishing financial accounting and reporting
standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. This statement encourages
all entities to adopt a new method of accounting to measure compensation cost of
all employee stock compensation plans based on the fair value method. However,
it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those
plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by the
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees." Home Federal elected to continue to measure compensation cost
using APB No. 25, therefore, SFAS No. 123 will only require certain disclosures
in Home Federal's consolidated financial statements.

     In May 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights," which eliminates the accounting distinction between rights to
service mortgage loans for others that are acquired through loan origination
activities and those acquired through purchase transactions. Accordingly, Home
Federal will recognize as assets all rights to service loans for others for
loans originated after January 1, 1996 and will amortize these assets in
proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. These
capitalized servicing rights must also be evaluated for impairment based on the
fair value of those rights. Home Federal adopted SFAS No. 122 as of January 1,
1996. The amount of capitalized originated mortgage servicing rights was
immaterial at June 30, 1996. SFAS No. 122 will be superseded by SFAS No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments 
of Liabilities."

     In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," establishing
accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial
assets and extinguishments of liabilities. Those standards are based on
consistent application of a financial-components approach  that focuses on
control. Under that approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity
recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it
has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered,
and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. This Statement provides
consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are
sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. A transfer of financial assets
in which the tranferor surrenders control over those assets is accounted for as
a sale to the extent that consideration other than beneficial interests in the
transferred assets is received in exchange. In addition, SFAS No. 125 requires
the following:

          That liabilities and derivatives incurred or obtained by transferors
     as part of a transfer of financial assets be initially measured at fair
     value, if practicable. It also requires that servicing assets and other
     retained interests in the transferred assets be measured by allocating the
     previous carrying amount between the assets sold, if any, and retained
     interests, if any, based on their relative fair values at the date of the
     transfer.

          That servicing assets and liabilities be subsequently measured by (a)
     amortization in proportion to and over the period of estimated net
     servicing income or loss and (b) assessment for asset impairment or
     increased obligation based on their fair values.

          That debtors reclassify financial assets pledged as collateral and
      that secured parties recognize those assets and their obligation to return
      them in certain circumstances in which the secured party has taken control
      of those assets.

          That a liability be derecognized if and only if either (a) the debtor
      pays the creditor and is relieved of its obligation for the liability or
      (b) the debtor is legally released from being the primary obligor under
      the liability either judicially or by the creditor. Therefore, a liability
      is not considered extinguished by an in-substance defeasance.

     Also, SFAS No. 125 amends SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities," to clarify that a debt security may not be
classified as held-to-maturity if it can be prepaid or otherwise settled in such
a way that the holder of the security would not recover substantially all of its
recorded investment.

     SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets
and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996, and is to
be applied prospectively. Earlier or retroactive application is not permitted.
Accordingly, Home Federal will adopt SFAS No. 125 as of January 1, 1997. The
effects of adopting SFAS No. 125 on Home Federal's consolidated financial
condition or results of operations is presently being analyzed; however, it is
not expected to have a material impact.



NOTE B - Proposed Merger

     On April 2, 1996, Home Federal entered into a Plan and Agreement to Merge
("Acquisition Agreement") with F&M Bancorp, Frederick, Maryland, a Maryland
corporation and bank holding company ("F&M"), which provides for the acquisition
of Home Federal by F&M.

     Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, Home Federal will merge with
and into F&M (the "Merger"), with F&M to be the surviving corporation. Pursuant
to the Acquisition Agreement, upon the effective date of the Merger ("Effective
Date"), each outstanding share of common stock of Home Federal, par value $1.00
per share ("Home Federal Stock"), will be converted into the right to receive
shares of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of F&M ("F&M Stock"), in an
amount equal to 165% of Home Federal's book value (calculated as specified in
the Acquisition Agreement) as determined as of the end of the month immediately
prior to the Effective Date (the "Calculation Date"). The number of shares of
F&M Stock to be received will be based on the arithmetic average of F&M Stock
closing prices reported for the twenty (20) consecutive days preceding the
Calculation Date (the "Average Market Value"), subject to certain adjustments.
If the Average Market Value of F&M Stock is greater than 1.9 times the book
value per share of F&M as of the Calculation Date, the number of shares of F&M
Stock to be received by Home Federal stockholders shall be based on a F&M Stock
price equal to 1.9 times the book value per share of F&M as of such Calculation
Date.

     In connection with the execution of the Acquisition Agreement, Home Federal
entered into a Stock Option Agreement with F&M pursuant to which it granted F&M
an option to acquire, upon the occurrence of certain events defined in the Stock
Option Agreement ("Purchase Events"), up to an aggregate of 501,282 authorized
but unissued shares of Home Federal Stock (the "Option") (or 19.9% of the shares
outstanding) at a price of $8.25 per share. The provisions of the Stock Option
Agreement concerning the Option will terminate upon consummation of the Merger
or upon termination of the Acquisition Agreement; however, if such termination
occurs as a result of a willful breach by Home Federal of the Acquisition
Agreement or failure of Home Federal's stockholders to approve the Acquisition
Agreement, then the Option shall terminate 12 months after termination of the
Acquisition Agreement. The Option is intended to increase the likelihood that
the Merger will be consummated by making it more difficult and expensive for a
third party to acquire control of Home Federal.

     The consummation of the transaction is subject to, among other things,
receipt of regulatory approval and the receipt of the requisite vote of
stockholders of each of Home Federal and F&M approving the Acquisition
Agreement. In addition, the Acquisition Agreement may be terminated by either
party in the event the Average Market Value of F&M Stock calculated as of the
Calculation Date is less than 1.6 times the book value of F&M Stock as of such
date; provided that if F&M elects and Home Federal agrees, the parties could
agree to proceed with the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement
using an Average Market Value of F&M Stock equal to 1.6 times its book value per
share as of such date.

                   HOME FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1996

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.

     On April 2, 1996, Home Federal entered into the Acquisition Agreement with
F&M which provides for the acquisition of Home Federal by F&M. See Note B of the
unaudited notes to consolidated financial statements.



Financial Condition

     The Corporation's total assets increased $5.1 million or 2.4% to $219.7
million from December 31, 1995 to June 30, 1996, due primarily to a $6.1 million
increase in net loans, a $1.2 million increase in mortgage-backed securities and
a $2.0 million increase in investment securities, which increases were partially
offset by a $2.3 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $1.7
million decrease in real estate owned, net. The Corporation's total liabilities
increased by $4.3 million or 2.2% to $200.5 million from December 31, 1995 to
June 30, 1996, primarily due to a $2.2 million increase in savings accounts, and
a $1.6 million increase in borrowings. Stockholders' equity increased $842,000
to $19.2 million at June 30, 1996, due primarily to a $819,000 increase in
retained earnings.


Nonperforming Assets

     The Corporation's nonperforming assets decreased by $2.4 million or 18.8%
from $12.9 million or 6.0% of total assets at December 31, 1995 to $10.5 million
or 4.8% of total assets at June 30, 1996. At June 30, 1996, the allowances for
possible loan losses amounted to $3.7 million or 2.6% of loans, net, and 73.6%
of total nonperforming loans. At June 30, 1996, the allowance for losses on
real estate owned held for sale (REO) amounted to $1.2 million or 22.1% 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 Notes E and
F of the unaudited notes to consolidated financial statements.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

     Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 amounted to $920,000,
compared to net income of $1.9 million during the comparable period in 1995. Net
income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 amounted to $535,000 compared to
net income of $1.5 million during the comparable period in 1995. The decrease in
net income during both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 was
due primarily to increased provisions for income taxes and increased other
expenses which was partially offset by increases in other income and net
interest income.


Net Interest Income

     Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by
$359,000 or 10.1%, over the same period in 1995, due to increased interest
income which more than offset increased interest expense. Interest income for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by $441,000 or 5.7% compared to
the same period in 1995, while interest expense increased by $82,000 or 1.9%
during the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in
the prior year. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1996
increased by $298,000 or 17.0% over the same period in 1995 due to increased
interest income and decreased interest expense. Interest income for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 increased by $246,000 or 6.3% compared to the same
period in 1995, while interest expense decreased by $52,000 or 2.4% during the
three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in the prior
year.

     During each of the three and six month periods, the increase in interest
income was due primarily to an increase in the average balances of loans
receivable, mortgage-backed securities and short-term interest bearing deposits
and an increase in the average rate earned on loans receivable and
mortgage-backed securities. Such increases were offset by decreases in the
average balances of investment securities and federal funds. The primary reason
for the increase in the average balance of short-term interest bearing deposits
was the Savings Bank's investment of funds in short-term investments prior to
purchasing mortgage-backed securities. The increase in the average balance of
mortgage- backed securities in 1996 was due to the Savings Bank's purchasing
$14.0 million in mortgage-backed securities, which was funded by the sale of
$8.0 million in mortgage-backed securities and funds from increased savings
accounts, loan repayments and loan sales. The increase in interest expense
during the six months ended June 30, 1996 was primarily the result of increases
in the average balances of savings accounts and the average rates paid thereon
which were partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB"). The increase in the average
balance of savings accounts was due to competitive pricing, as the Savings Bank
sought funds in order to originate loans, purchase mortgage-backed and
investment securities and repay advances. The average balance of advances from
the FHLB of Atlanta decreased primarily due to the Savings Bank utilizing excess
funds to repay advances. The decrease in interest expense during the three
months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the comparable period in 1995 was
primarily due to decreases in the average balance of FHLB advances and the rates
paid on FHLB advances and savings accounts which was partially offset by
increases in the average balance of savings accounts.

     The Savings Bank's interest rate spread increased from 3.8% during the six
months ended June 30, 1995 to 4.0% during the six months ended June 30, 1996,
and the ratio of interest earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities
increased from 98.9% during the six months ended June 30, 1995 to 100.4% during
the six months ended June 30, 1996. The Savings Bank's interest rate spread
increased from 3.8% during the three months ended June 30, 1996 to 4.1% during
the three months ended June 30, 1995, and the ratio of interest earning assets
to interest-bearing liabilities increased from 98.7% during the three months
ended June 30, 1995 to 100.9% during the three months ended June 30, 1996. 


Other Income

     Other income totaled $1.3 million and $921,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Other income totaled $606,000 and $500,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The $351,000 or
38.1% increase during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the $106,000, or
21.1% increase during the three months ended June 30, 1996 was primarily due to
increases in income related to loan originations, loan sales, stockbrokerage and
insurance commissions, fees on checking and savings accounts and gain on sales
of real estate owned, which was partially offset by losses on sales of
mortgage-backed securities.


Operating Expenses
     Operating expenses amounted to $3.9 million and $3.6 million for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Operating expenses amounted
to $2.0 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Corporation
experienced increases in employee compensation and benefits, office occupancy
and equipment expenses and other expenses, which were substantially offset by
deceases in provision for losses on REO. Employee compensation and benefits
increased due to increased profit sharing expenses, deferred directors'
compensation expenses, merit increases and incentive compensation expenses.
Office occupancy and equipment expenses increased due to increased depreciation
on office properties and equipment due to computer technology upgrades during
1995 and 1996 and the renovation of a branch location in 1995. Other operating
expenses increased due to increases in professional fees and unrealized losses
on mortgage loans held for sale which were offset by decreases in insurance
expense, ATM expenses and expenses associated with REO operations, net and
impaired loan expenses.

     Provision for losses on real estate owned amounted to $130,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1995. The decrease in 1996 reflects managements
evaluation of the fair value less disposition costs of such real estate. See
Note F of the unaudited notes to consolidated financial statements.

     During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Corporation experienced
increases in employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment
expenses, advertising and promotion expenses and other expenses. Employee
compensation and benefits increased due to increased profit sharing expenses,
deferred directors compensation expenses, merit increases and incentive
compensation expenses. Office occupancy and equipment increased due to increased
depreciation on office properties and equipment due to computer technology 
upgrades and the renovation of a branch location. Advertising and promotion
increased due to marketing expenses attributable to the promotion of Home
Federal's products and the sponsorship of several community events. Other
expenses increased due to increased professional fees and expenses associated
with REO operations, net.


Income Taxes

     Home Federal's income tax expense totaled $88,000 and $361,000 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to an income tax benefit of
$1.0 million during each of such periods in the prior year, respectively. The
increase in income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
as compared to the prior year was attributable to more normalized income tax
provisions during the 1996 periods, while the provisions for the 1995 periods
were impacted by a reduction in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets
due to management's determination that a significant portion of such deferred
tax assets were realizable, which resulted in a tax benefit.



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 10-15 year fixed
rate residential mortgage loan products and 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 originated with terms greater that 20 years are primarily for resale in
the secondary market, thereby reducing Home Federal's interest rate risk. Home
Federal generally retains single-family adjustable-rate loans in portfolio.
During the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, Home Federal originated
$17.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively, of single-family residential
loans. Of such amounts, $8.7 million and $9.1 million provided for periodic
adjustment of interest rates, or 48.6% and 66.7% of single-family residential
loans originated by Home Federal during the respective periods. During 1996,
Home Federal originated $2.2 million 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 $8.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 1996
as compared to $7.5 million during the comparable period in 1995.

     During 1996, Home Federal purchased investment and mortgage-backed
securities to maintain its asset mix. The Savings Bank purchased $2.0 million
and $14.0 million of investment and mortgage-backed securities, respectively,
which was funded by savings deposits, loan sales and repayments, and the
proceeds of $8.0 million from the sale of mortgage-backed securities available
for sale.

     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 and mortgage-backed securities 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 Office of Thrift
Supervision ("OTS") that impose certain minimum regulatory capital requirements.
At June 30, 1996 the Savings Bank's tangible, core and risk-based capital
exceeded regulatory requirements. The following table summarizes, as of June 30,
1996, 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.

     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 12.5% for the month ended June 30, 1996. At
June 30, 1996, Home Federal was required to maintain liquid investments
amounting to $9.1 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 June 30, 1996, the total of approved loan origination commitments
amounted to $2.2 million, exclusive of loans in process. The amount of savings
certificates which are scheduled to mature during the twelve months ended June
30, 1997 is $59.2 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 six months ended June 30, 1996,
the Savings Bank experienced a $2.2 million increase in savings accounts. The
Savings Bank utilized these funds to repay FHLB advances and purchase investment
and mortgage-backed securities during the six months ended June 30, 1996.


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.


RECAPITALIZATION OF SAIF AND RELATED LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS

     The deposits of the Savings Bank are currently insured by the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC). Both the SAIF and the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), the federal deposit
insurance fund that covers commercial bank deposits, are required by law to
attain and thereafter maintain a reserve ratio of 1.25% of insured deposits. The
BIF has achieved a fully funded status in contrast to the SAIF and, therefore,
as discussed below, the FDIC recently substantially reduced the average deposit
insurance premium paid by BIF-insured commercial banks to a level substantially
below the average premium paid by SAIF-insured institutions.

     In late 1995, the FDIC approved a final rule regarding deposit insurance
premiums which, effective with respect to the semiannual premium assessment
beginning January 1, 1996, reduced deposit insurance premiums for BIF member
institutions to zero basis points (subject to an annual minimum of $2,000) for
institutions in the lowest risk category. Deposit insurance premiums for SAIF
members were maintained at their existing levels (23 basis points for
institutions in the lowest risk category). Accordingly, in the absence of
further legislative action, SAIF members such as the Savings Bank will be
competitively disadvantaged as compared to commercial banks by the resulting
premium differential. It is anticipated that, under present conditions, it will
be at least several years before the SAIF reaches a reserve ratio of 1.25% of
insured deposits.

     The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate have actively considered
legislation which would have eliminated the premium differential between SAIF
- -insured institutions and BIF-insured institutions by recapitalizing the SAIF's
reserves to the required ratio. The proposed legislation would have provided
that all SAIF member institutions pay a special one-time assessment to
recapitalize the SAIF, which in the aggregate would have been sufficient to
bring the reserve ratio in the SAIF to 1.25% of insured deposits. Based on the
current level of reserves maintained by the SAIF, it was anticipated that the
amount of the special assessment required to recapitalize the SAIF would have
been approximately 80 to 85 basis points of the SAIF-assessable deposits. It was
anticipated that after the recapitalization of the SAIF, premiums paid by SAIF-
insured institutions would be reduced to match those currently being assessed
BIF-insured commercial banks. The legislation also provided for the merger of
the BIF and the SAIF, with such merger being conditioned upon the prior
elimination of the thrift charter.

     The legislation discussed above had been, for some time, included as part
of a fiscal 1996 federal budget bill, but was eliminated prior to the bill being
enacted on April 26, 1996. In light of the legislation's elimination and the
uncertainty of the legislative process generally, management cannot predict
whether legislation reducing SAIF premiums and/or imposing a special one-time
assessment will be adopted, or, if adopted, the amount of the assessment, if
any, that would be imposed on the Savings Bank.

     If legislation were to be enacted in the future which would assess a one
- -time special assessment of 85 basis points, the Savings Bank would (based upon
the Savings Bank's SAIF deposits as of June 30, 1996) pay approximately
$865,000, net of related tax benefits. In addition, the enactment of such
legislation might have the effect of immediately reducing the Savings Bank's
capital by such an amount. Nevertheless, management does not believe, based upon
the foregoing assumptions, that a one-time assessment of this nature would have
a material adverse effect on Home Federal's consolidated financial condition.
