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, 1996 and the related consolidated statement of changes in 
stockholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and the 
consolidated statements of operation for the three months ended March 31, 1996
and 1995 and consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 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
March 31, 1996 and the results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 1996.


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 Months Ended March 31, 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 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. See Note B of the unaudited notes to consolidated
financial statements.



Financial Condition

     The Corporation's total assets increased $2.1 million or 1.0% to $216.7
million from December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996, due primarily to a $1.1
million increase in net loans, a $3.2 million increase in mortgage-backed
securities and a $1.0 million increase in investment securities, which increases
were partially offset by a $2.3 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents
and a $1.8 million decrease in real estate owned, net. The Corporation's total
liabilities increased by $1.8 million or 0.9% to $198.0 million from December
31, 1995 to March 31, 1996, primarily due to a $4.3 million increase in savings
accounts, which was offset to some extent by a $3.0 million decrease in
borrowings. Stockholders' equity increased $291,000 to $18.7 million at March
31, 1996 due primarily to a $284,000 increase in retained earnings.


Nonperforming Assets

     The Corporation's nonperforming assets decreased by $2.6 million or 20.0%
from $12.9 million or 6.0% of total assets at December 31, 1995 to $10.3 million
or 4.8% of total assets at March 31, 1996. At March 31, 1996, the allowances for
possible loan losses amounted to $3.7 million or 2.7% of loans, net, and 73.8%
of total nonperforming loans. At March 31, 1996, the allowance for losses on
real estate owned held for sale (REO) amounted to $1.3 million or 23.6% 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 three months ended March 31, 1996 amounted to $385,000,
essentially the same as net income of $381,000 during the comparable period in
1995.


Net Interest Income

     Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased
by $61,000, or 3.4%, over the same period in 1995 due to increased interest
income which more than offset increased interest expense. Interest income for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased by $195,000 or 5.1% compared to
the same period in 1995, while interest expense increased by $134,000 or 6.6%
during the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in
the prior year.

     During the three month period, the increase in interest income was due
primarily to an increase in the average balances of loans receivable,
mortgage-backed 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 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 Savings Bank's interest rate spread was 3.9% during the three months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and the ratio of interest earning assets to
interest-bearing liabilities increased from 99.0% during the three months ended
March 31, 1995 to 99.9% during the three months ended March 31, 1996.


Other Income

     Other income totaled $666,000 and $421,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The $245,000 or 58.4% increase during the three
months ended March 31, 1996 was primarily due to increases in income related to
loan originations, loan sales, stockbrokerage 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 and decreased insurance
commissions.


Operating Expenses
     Operating expenses amounted to $1.9 million and $1.8 million for the three 
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. During the three months
ended March 31, 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, 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. Other operating expenses increased due to increases in professional
fees which was 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
three months ended March 31 1995. The decrease in 1996 reflects managements
evaluation of the fair value less disposition costs or the net realizable value
of such real estate. See Note F of the unaudited notes to consolidated financial
statements.


Income Taxes

     Home Federal's income tax expense totaled $273,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to income tax benefit of $4,000 during the same
period in the prior year. The significant increase in income tax expense for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the prior year was attributable
to increased taxable income, and Home Federal's reduction in the valuation
allowance on deferred tax assets which reduced income tax expense in 1995.



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 three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, Home Federal originated
$8.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of single-family residential loans.
Of such amounts, $3.8 million and $5.1  million provided for periodic adjustment
of interest rates, or 46.1% and 75.0% of single-family residential loans
originated by Home Federal during the respective periods. During 1996, Home
Federal originated $1.0 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 $4.3 million during the three months ended March 31,
1996 as compared to $3.5 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 $1.0 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 March 31, 1996 the Savings Bank's tangible, core and risk-based capital
exceeded regulatory requirements. The following table summarizes, as of March
31, 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 9.3% for the month ended March 31, 1996. At
March 31, 1996, 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, 1996, the total of approved loan origination commitments
amounted to $3.0 million, exclusive of loans in process. The amount of savings
certificates which are scheduled to mature during the twelve months ended
March 31, 1997 is $56.8 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, 1996, the Savings Bank experienced a $4.3 million
increase in savings accounts. The Savings Bank utilized these funds to repay
FHLB advances and purchase investment and mortgage-backed securities during the
three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 1996) pay approximately
$876,000, 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.
