                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


1.  Basis of Presentation
The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the  accounts of Home  Federal
Bancorp (the "Company") and its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Home Federal Savings
Bank (the "Bank").  These consolidated interim financial statements at September
30, 1998, and for the three month period ended September 30, 1998, have not been
examined by independent  auditors,  but reflect, in the opinion of the Company's
management,  all adjustments  (which include only normal recurring  adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for
such periods, including elimination of all significant intercompany balances and
transactions.

These statements  should be read in conjunction with the consolidated  financial
statements  and  related  notes  which  are  incorporated  by  reference  in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1998.

2.  Reclassifications
Some  items  in  the  financial   statements  of  previous   periods  have  been

 4. New Accounting Pronouncements

The Corporation adopted FAS 130, "Comprehensive Income", effective July 1, 1998.
It requires  that changes in the amounts of certain  items,  gains and losses on
certain  securities  be  shown  in the  financial  statements.  FAS 130 does not
require a specific  format for the  financial  statement in which  comprehensive
income  is  reported,  but  does  require  that  an  amount  representing  total
comprehensive  income be reported in that  statement.  All prior year  financial
statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

The following is a summary of the Corporation's total  comprehensive  income for
the interim three month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 under FAS 130:

Statement of Financial Accounting  Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"),  "Disclosures
about  Segments of an Enterprise  and Related  Information,"  was issued in June
1997 and is effective for fiscal periods  beginning after December 15, 1997. The
company will include the appropriate segment information beginning in the annual
financial statements for the year ending June 30, 1999 and all quarterly reports
thereafter.   This  statement  will  change  the  way  public  companies  report
information   about  segments  of  their  business  in  their  annual  financial
statements  and requires them to report  selected  segment  information in their
quarterly  reports  issued  to  shareholders.   It  also  requires   entity-wide
disclosures  about the products and  services an entity  provides,  the material
countries  in  which  it  holds  assets  and  reports  revenues,  and its  major
customers.  Management has not yet quantified the effect of this new standard on
the consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"),  "Accounting
for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities," was issued in June 1998 and
is effective for all fiscal  quarters of all fiscal years  beginning  after June
15, 1999.  This statement  establishes  accounting  and reporting  standards for
derivative  instruments and for hedging  activities.  It requires that an entity
recognize all  derivatives  as either assets or  liabilities in the statement of
financial  condition and measure  those  instruments  at fair value.  If certain
conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically  designated as a fair value
hedge,  a cash  flow  hedge,  or a  hedge  of  foreign  currency  exposure.  The
accounting  for changes in the fair value of a  derivative  (that is,  gains and
losses)  depends  on the  intended  use  of the  derivative  and  the  resulting
designation.  Management  has not yet quantified the effect of this new standard
on the consolidated financial statements.


 5.   Subsequent Event

At the Annual  Meeting of  Shareholders  held on October 27, 1998  amendments of
Articles 5 and 6 of the  Corporation's  Articles of  Incorporation  were adopted
increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 15,000,000 shares.
The total number of shares which the  Corporation  shall have authority to issue
is  17,000,000  shares,  all of which  are  without  par  value.  The  remaining
2,000,000 shares which the company may issue are preferred shares.

Part I, Item 2:  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
                 Results of Operations

Home Federal  Bancorp (the "Company") is organized as a unitary savings and loan
holding  company  and owns all the  outstanding  capital  stock of Home  Federal
Savings Bank (the "Bank"). The business of the Bank and therefore,  the Company,
is to provide  consumer and business  banking services to certain markets in the
south-central  portions of the State of Indiana.  The Bank does business through
16 full service banking branches.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Quarter Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to Quarter Ended September 30, 1997

General
The Company  reported net income of $2,605,000  for the quarter ended  September
30, 1998,  compared to $2,461,000  for the quarter ended  September 30, 1997, an
increase of $144,000 or 5.9%.  Basic  earnings  per common share for the current
quarter were $0.51  compared to $0.47 for the quarter ended  September 30, 1997.
Dilutive  earnings  per common  share  increased  $.02 to $.48 from $.46 for the
quarter ended  September  30, 1998  compared to the quarter ended  September 30,
1997.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income before  provision for loan losses  decreased by $100,000 for
the quarter ended  September 30, 1998,  compared to the quarter ended  September
30, 1997. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the net interest margin
of 21 basis for the three month period ended  September  30, 1998 as compared to
the three month period ended  September 30, 1997.  This decrease in net interest
margin is the result of rates dropping faster on interest earning assets than on
interest bearing liabilities due primarily to refinancing activity in the Bank's
loan products.

Net interest income after provision for loan losses  decreased by $51,000 or .9%
for the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1998,  compared  to the  quarter  ended
September  30, 1997.  The  provision  for loan losses  decreased  $49,000 due to
slower  growth in loans  receivable  net of $5.7  million  over the three  month
period ended  September  30, 1998 as opposed to a $9.1  million  increase in the
balance of loans receivable, net over the three month period ended September 30,
1997.  At  September  30,  1998,  the  loan  loss   allowance   covered  84%  of
non-performing  loans,  real estate owned and other  repossessed  assets. To the
best of management's  knowledge,  and in its opinion,  classified  assets do not
represent  material  credits which would cause management to have serious doubts
as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with their loan  repayment  terms.
Based on management's  analysis of classified assets, loss histories and current
future  projections,  the allowance  balance  appears  adequate at September 30,
1998.

  Quarter ending September 30: (in thousands)            1998        1997
  -------------------------------------------            ----        ----
Allowance beginning balance .......................   $ 4,243     $ 3,649
Provision for loan losses .........................       244         293

Recoveries ........................................        14          20
- ---------------------------------------------------   -------     -------    
Loan Loss Allowance ...............................   $ 4,325     $ 3,760

Allowance to Total Loans ..........................       .71%        .63%
Allowance to Nonperforming Assets .................        84%        113%


Interest Income
Total  interest  income for the  three-month  period ended  September  30, 1998,
remained relatively constant increasing $22,000, or .2%, over the same period of
the prior year.  The small  increase is due  primarily to an increase in average
balances of loans  receivable,  net and  investment  securities  for the quarter
ended  September 30, 1998 as compared to the quarter  ended  September 30, 1997;
which was offset by a decrease in the yield on these interest earning assets.

Interest Expense
Total  interest  expense for the  three-month  period ended  September  30, 1998
increased  $122,000,  or 1.6%,  as compared  to the same period a year ago.  The
increase in interest  expense for the three month  period  ended  September  30,
1998, compared to the same period ended September 30, 1997, was due to increased
deposit  and  FHLB  advances  average  balances  for the  same  two  comparative
quarters,  which  was also  offset by  declining  rates  paid on these  interest
bearing liabilities.

Other Income
Total  other  income  for the  three-month  period  ended  September  30,  1998,
increased  $376,000 or 19.3% over the same period a year ago.  This increase was
primarily  due to the gain on sale of loans  increasing  $373,000  for the three
month  period  ended  September  30,  1998,  compared to the same  period  ended
September 30, 1997.  The $373,000  gain on sale for the quarter ended  September
30, 1998 reflects an increase in  refinancing  activity as the Bank sold, in the
secondary  market,  the majority of the fifteen and thirty year fixed rate loans
which the Bank originated.

Other Expenses
Total other  expenses  for the  three-month  period  ended  September  30, 1998,
increased  $127,000 over the same period ended September 30, 1997.  Compensation
and employee benefits increased $128,000.  Increases in compensation were due to
normal salary  increases and  increased  loan activity and related  compensation
costs.  Miscellaneous  expenses  increased  $103,000 due to a variety of factors
including a $32,000 increase in loan expenses related to the refinancing  surge,
a $33,000  increase in ATM expenses related to the increase in the number of ATM
machines as well as a variety of other small expense category increases.


FINANCIAL CONDITION:
Total assets  increased by $3,065,000 from June 30, 1998, to September 30, 1998.
Net loans  receivable  increased  by  $5,729,000.  Securities  held to  maturity
(including mortgage-backed securities) decreased $1,287,000, while cash and cash
equivalents decreased $2,197,000.

Total  liabilities  showed a small  increase of $558,000  from June 30, 1998, to
September  30, 1998.  Decreases of $376,000 in deposits were offset by increases
of $341,000 in advance  payments by  borrowers  for taxes and  insurance  and an
increase of $348,000 in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Shareholders'  equity  increased  $2,507,000  during the same  period.  Retained
earnings increased $2,605,000 million from net income and decreased $514,000 for
dividends  paid.  Common stock  increased  $43,000 for stock  options  exercised
during the period.  In accordance  with  Statement of Accounting  Standards 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities",  the Company
had  unrealized  gains in its  available  for sale  portfolio of $450,000,  or a
$372,000  increase in shareholders'  equity from the June 30, 1998 gain position
of $78,000.

</TABLE>


Liquidity and Capital Resources
The  minimum  liquidity  level is 4%,  the  lowest  amount  allowed  by law.  At
September 30, 1998, the Bank's average liquidity ratio was 16.0%.  Historically,
the Bank has  maintained its liquid assets which qualify for purposes of the OTS
liquidity regulations above the minimum requirements imposed by such regulations
and  at  a  level  believed  adequate  to  meet  requirements  of  normal  daily
activities, repayment of maturing debt and potential deposit outflows. Cash flow
projections are regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity
is maintained. Cash for these purposes is generated through the sale or maturity
of investment  securities  and loan sales and  repayments,  and may be generated
through  increases in deposits.  Loan payments are a relatively stable source of
funds, while deposit flows are influenced significantly by the level of interest
rates and general money market conditions.  Borrowings may be used to compensate
for  reductions in other  sources of funds such as deposits.  As a member of the
FHLB system, the Bank may borrow from the FHLB of Indianapolis. At September 30,
1998, the Bank had $98.2 million in such  borrowings.  As of that date, the Bank
had commitments to fund loan  originations and purchases of approximately  $42.3
million  and  commitments  to sell  loans of $21.0  million.  In the  opinion of
management,  the Bank has  sufficient  cash flow and borrowing  capacity to meet
current and anticipated funding commitments.


Year 2000 Disclosure

The Problem
The Year 2000 issue is the result of potential problems with computer systems or
any equipment  with computer  chips that use dates where the year portion of the
date has been stored as just two digits (e.g.  98 for 1998).  Systems using this
two-digit  approach will not be able to determine  whether "00"  represents  the
year 2000 or 1900. The problem,  if not corrected,  will make those systems fail
altogether or, even worse, allow them to generate incorrect calculations causing
a disruption of normal operations.

Readiness Efforts
In 1997,  a  comprehensive  project  plan to  address  the Year 2000 issue as it
relates to the  Company's  operation  was  developed,  approved  by the Board of
Directors  and  implemented.  The  scope of the plan  includes  five  phases  of
Awareness, Assessment,  Renovation,  Validation and Implementation as defined by
federal banking regulatory agencies. A project team that consists of key members
of the technology staff, representatives of functional business units and senior
management was developed. Additionally, the duties of the Vice President of Data
Processing Compliance were realigned to serve primarily as the Year 2000 project
manager.






                                      -10-
<PAGE>


An  assessment  of the impact of the Year 2000 issue on the  Company's  computer
systems  has been  completed.  The  scope of the  project  also  includes  other
operational  and  environmental  systems  since they may be impacted if embedded
computer chips control the functionality of those systems.  From the assessment,
the Company has  identified and  prioritized  those systems deemed to be mission
critical or those that have a significant impact on normal operations.

The Company  relies on third party  vendors and service  providers  for its data
processing   capabilities   and  to  maintain  its  computer   systems.   Formal
communications  with these  providers  and other  external  counterparties  were
initiated  in 1997 to  assess  the Year 2000  readiness  of their  products  and
services.  Their progress in meeting their targeted  schedule is being monitored
for any  indication  that they may not be able to address  the  problem in time.
Thus far,  responses indicate that most of the significant  providers  currently
have  compliant  versions  available or are well into the renovation and testing
phases with completion  scheduled for sometime in 1998. However, the Company can
give no guarantee  that the systems of these  service  providers  and vendors on
which the Company's systems rely will be timely renovated.

Additionally,  the Company has  implemented a plan to manage the potential  risk
posed by the  impact  of the Year  2000  issue on its  major  customers.  Formal
communications  have been initiated,  and an evaluation to assess the risk posed
by the Company's material customers is well underway. This evaluation of risk is
scheduled to be completed by December 31, 1998. The projected completion date of
the risk  assessment is based upon  management's  best estimates and assumes the
continued  availability  of  certain  resources  and  timely  response  from the
customers.

Current Status
The project team estimates that the Company's Year 2000 readiness project is 82%
complete  and that the  activities  involved  in  assessing  external  risks and
operational  issues  are  86%  completed   overall.   These  estimates  and  the
projections  in the  following  table are derived  from the Year 2000  Checklist
Version 2, a project-tracking tool provided by the Office of Thrift Supervision.
This table  provides a summary of the current  status of the five project phases
and a projected timetable for completion.

- ----------------- -------------- --------------- ------------------------------

Costs
The Company has thus far primarily used and expects to continue to primarily use
internal resources to implement its readiness plan and to upgrade or replace and
test systems  affected by the Year 2000 issue.  The total cost to the Company of
these Year 2000 compliance  activities has not been and is not anticipated to be
material to its  financial  position or results of operations in any given year.
In total, the Company estimates that its costs,  excluding  personnel  expenses,
for Year 2000  remediation  and testing of its  computer  systems will amount to
less than  $50,000  over the  three-year  period  from 1997  through  1999.  Not
included  in this  estimate  is the cost to replace  fully  depreciated  systems
during this  period,  which  occurs in the normal  course of business and is not
directly attributable to the Year 2000 issue.

Risk Assessment
Based upon current  information related to the progress of its major vendors and
service  providers,  management has determined that the Year 2000 issue will not
pose  significant   operational   problems  for  its  computer   systems.   This
determination is based on the ability of those vendors and service  providers to
renovate,  in a timely manner,  the products and services on which the Company's
systems  rely.  However,  the Company can give no guarantee  that the systems of
these suppliers will be timely renovated.

Contingency Plan
Realizing that some  disruption may occur despite its best efforts,  the Company
is in the process of developing  contingency  plans for each critical  system in
the event that one or more of those systems fail.  Critical  business  functions
have  been  identified  and the  development  of  temporary  procedures  for the
continued  operations of those  functions has begun.  Updating and testing these
business  resumption  procedures  is an  ongoing  process  which  will  continue
throughout 1999.

The costs and the timetable in which the Company plans to complete the Year 2000
readiness  activities  are based on  management's  best  estimates,  which  were
derived using  numerous  assumptions  of future  events  including the continued
availability  of  certain  resources,  third  party  readiness  plans  and other
factors. The Company can make no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved
and actual results could differ from such plans.
