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 
September 30, 1996 and the related consolidated statement of changes in 
stockholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and the 
consolidated statements of operation for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 and consolidated statements of cash flows for the
nine months ended September 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
September 30, 1996 and the results of operations for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 and cash flows for the nine months ended
September 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 September 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 transferor 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 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.

     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 a value for F&M Stock equal to 1.6
times its book value per share as of the 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.

     All regulatory and stockholder approvals have been received and the merger
is expected to occur in the fourth quarter.

NOTE I - Common Stock and Earnings Per Share

     Earnings per share have been computed based on 2,519,010 average shares
outstanding in 1996 and 1995. On March 29, 1996, Home Federal paid a $100,760 
or $0.04 per share dividend to stockholders of record on March 15, 1996.


NOTE J - Federal Insurance Premium

     On September 30, 1996, the President signed legislation which will
recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) to a ratio of 1.25%
of insured reserve deposits. A one-time special federal insurance premium of
approximately $0.657 for every $100 of assessable deposits at March 31, 1995
will be charged to all SAIF institutions. The Savings Bank's special
assessment, which was booked as of September 30, 1996, approximated $1,026,000
before a tax benefit of approximately $396,000. The legislation also provided
for the merger of the Bank Insurance Fund and the SAIF, with such merger being
conditioned upon the prior elimination of the thrift charter. The Savings
Bank's insurance premiums, which has amounted to $0.23 for every $100 of
assessable deposits, will be reduced to $0.064 for every $100 of assessable
deposits beginning January 1, 1997. Based upon the $162,024,000 of assessable
deposits at September 30, 1996, the Savings Bank would expect to pay $67,000
less in insurance premiums per quarter during 1997, or $0.03 per share.

                   HOME FEDERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
             For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 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 $14.0 million or 6.5% to $228.6
million from December 31, 1995 to September 30, 1996, due primarily to a $10.5
million increase in net loans, a $7.4 million increase in mortgage-backed
securities and a $2.0 million increase in investment securities which increases
were partially offset by a $4.5 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents
and a $2.3 million decrease in real estate owned, net. The Corporation's total
liabilities increased by $13.4 million or 6.9% to $209.6 million from December
31, 1995 to September 30, 1996, primarily due to a $13.7 million increase in
borrowings, which increase was offset by a $951,000 decrease in savings
accounts. Stockholders' equity increased $666,000 to $19.0 million at September
30, 1996, due primarily to a $613,000 increase in retained earnings.


Nonperforming Assets

     The Corporation's nonperforming assets decreased by $1.6 million or 12.3%
from $12.9 million or 6.0% of total assets at December 31, 1995 to $11.3
million or 4.9% of total assets at September 30, 1996. Nonaccrual and impaired
loans increased $731,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996
primarily due to a $1.4 million construction loan delinquency. REO decreased
$2.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1996, primarily due to
seven commercial properties being sold. At September 30, 1996, the allowances
for possible loan losses amounted to $3.7 million or 2.5% of loans, net, and
56.4% of total nonperforming loans. At September 30, 1996, the allowance for
losses on real estate owned held for sale (REO) amounted to $882,000 or 18.5%
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 Notes E and F of the unaudited notes to consolidated financial statements.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

     Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 amounted to
$714,000, compared to net income of $2.2 million during the comparable period
in 1995. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 1996 amounted to
$206,000 compared to net income of $342,000 during the comparable period in
1995. The decrease in net income during the nine months ended September 30,
1996 was due primarily to increased provisions for income taxes and the one-time
special federal insurance assessment, which was partially offset by increases in
other income and net interest income. The decrease in net income during the 
three months ended September 30, 1996 was due primarily to the SAIF assessment
which was offset by increases in other income, net interest income and income 
tax benefit. See Note J of the unaudited notes to consolidated financial 
statements.


Net Interest Income

     Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased
by $613,000 or 11.5%, over the same period in 1995, due to increased interest
income, which more than offset increased interest expense. Interest income for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased by $638,000 or 5.4% compared
to the same period in 1995, while interest expense increased by $25,000 or 0.4%
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period
in the prior year. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30,
1996 increased by $254,000 or 14.5% over the same period in 1995 due to
increased interest income and decreased interest expense. Interest income for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased by $197,000 or 4.9%
compared to the same period in 1995, while interest expense decreased by
$57,000 or 2.5% during the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
the same period in the prior year.

     During each of the three and nine 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 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 
$22.0 million in mortgage-backed securities, which was funded by the sale of 
$8.0 million in mortgage-backed securities, advances from the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB"), loan repayments, and loan sales. The increase in 
interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was primarily 
the result of increases in the average balances of savings accounts, which were
partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of advances from the FHLB
and the average rate paid thereon. The decrease in interest expense during the
three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the comparable period in
1995 was primarily due to decreases in the rates paid on savings accounts and
FHLB advances, which was partially offset by increases in the average balance
of FHLB advances and savings accounts.

     The Savings Bank's interest rate spread increased from 3.8% during the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 to 4.0% during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, and the ratio of interest earning assets to
interest-bearing liabilities increased from 98.98% during the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to 100.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
The Savings Bank's interest rate spread increased from 3.7% during the three
months ended September 30, 1995 to 3.9% during the three months ended September
30, 1996, and the ratio of interest earning assets to interest-bearing
liabilities increased from 99.1% during the three months ended September 30,
1995 to 101.1% during the three months ended September 30, 1996. 


Other Income

     Other income totaled $1.9 million and $1.4 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Other income totaled $619,000
and $518,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The $452,000 or 31.5% increase during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and the $101,000, or 19.6% increase during the three months
ended September 30, 1996 was primarily due to increases in income for
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 before SAIF assessment in 1996 amounted to $5.9 million
and $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Operating expenses before SAIF assessment in 1996 amounted to
$2.0 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and
1995, respectively. In addition to the SAIF assessment, during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, the Corporation experienced increases in employee
compensation and benefits, office occupancy and equipment expenses and other
expenses, which were substantially offset by decreases 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
nine months ended September 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 September 30, 1996, in addition to the SAIF
assessment, the Corporation experienced increases in employee compensation and
benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses and advertising and promotion
expenses. Employee compensation and benefits increased due to increased profit
sharing expenses, technology training expenses, deferred directors compensation
expenses 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.


Income Taxes

     Home Federal's income tax benefit totaled $210,000 and income tax expense
totaled $151,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to an income tax expense (benefit) of $218,000 and $(809,000) during
the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The increase in income tax
expense for the three and nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, Home Federal
originated $27.7 million and $20.7 million, respectively, of single-family
residential loans. Of such amounts, $14.2 million and $13.2 million provided
for periodic adjustment of interest rates, or 51.2% and 63.8% of single-family
residential loans originated by Home Federal during the respective periods.
During 1996, Home Federal originated $2.5 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 $13.4 million during the nine months ended September
30, 1996 as compared to $11.4 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 $22.0 million of investment and mortgage-backed securities, respectively,
which was funded by FHLB advances, 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 September 30, 1996 the Savings Bank's tangible, core and
risk-based capital exceeded regulatory requirements. The following table
summarizes, as of September 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 11.3% for the month ended September 30,
1996. At September 30, 1996, Home Federal was required to maintain liquid
investments amounting to $9.4 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 September 30, 1996, the total of approved loan origination commitments
amounted to $1.5 million, exclusive of loans in process. The amount of savings
certificates which are scheduled to mature during the twelve months ended
September 30, 1997 is $58.1 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 nine
months ended September 30, 1996, the Savings Bank experienced a $951,000
decrease in savings accounts. The decrease in savings accounts may have
resulted from the Bank's general policy of offering competitive rates on
deposits but not necessarily matching the highest rates available and
alternative investment products available.


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.
