that any such forward looking  statements are not guarantees of future events or
performance  and involve risks and  uncertainties,  and that actual  results may
differ  materially from those in the forward  looking  statements as a result of
various  factors.  The  accompanying  information  contained  in this  Form 10-Q
identifies  important factors that could cause such  differences.  These factors

unanticipated results in pending legal proceedings.


                   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 December
31, 1998, and for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 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
reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

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 and six month  periods ended  December 31, 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. Adoption of Corporate Articles

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.

6. Subsequent Event

For the period January 1, 1999 through  February 10, 1999,  Home Federal Bancorp
entered  into  commitments  to  repurchase  63,000  shares of common stock at an
average price of $23 per share.  These  repurchases of stock bring the total for
the fiscal year to 141,574 shares at an average price of $25 per share.

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 December 31, 1998 Compared to Quarter Ended December 31, 1997

General
The Company reported net income of $2,635,000 for the quarter ended December 31,
1998, compared to $2,687,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997, a decrease
of $52,000 or 1.9%. Basic earnings per common share for the current quarter were
$0.51  compared to $0.53 for the  quarter  ended  December  31,  1997.  Dilutive
earnings  per common share  remained  constant at $.49 for both  quarters  ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997.

Net Interest Income
Net interest  income before  provision for loan losses  decreased by $26,000 for
the quarter ended December 31, 1998,  compared to the quarter ended December 31,
1997. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the net interest  margin of
12 basis for the three month period  ended  December 31, 1998 as compared to the
three month period ended December 31, 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 increased by $85,000 or 1.5%
for the quarter ended December 31, 1998,  compared to the quarter ended December
31,  1997.  At  December  31,  1998,  the loan  loss  allowance  covered  74% 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 December 31, 1998.

Allowance to Total Loans ............................      .72%       .66%
Allowance to Nonperforming Assets ...................       74%       101%

Interest Income
Total  interest  income for the  three-month  period  ended  December  31, 1998,
decreased $249,000, or 1.8%, over the same period of the prior year. The average
balance of interest  earning  assets  increased  $11,871,000.  This  increase in
average balances was not enough to offset the negative effect on interest income
of a 39 basis points  decline in the weighted  average  interest  rate earned on
interest  bearing  assets for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 as compared to
the quarter ended December 31, 1997.

<PAGE>




Interest Expense 
Total  interest  expense for the  three-month  period  ended  December  31, 1998
decreased  $223,000,  or 2.8%,  as compared  to the same period a year ago.  The
decrease in interest expense for the three month period ended December 31, 1998,
compared to the same period ended  December  31, 1997,  was the net result of an
increase of $16,906,000 in the average balances of interest bearing liabilities,
being offset by a 24 basis point  decline in the rates paid on interest  bearing
liabilities.

Other Income
Total other income for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, increased
$369,000  or 15.0%  over  the same  period a year  ago.  This  increase  was due
primarily to an increase of $289,000 in the gain on sale of loans and a $266,000
increase in  miscellaneous  income for the three month period ended December 31,
1998, compared to the same period ended December 31, 1997. The $289,000 increase
in gain on sale for the quarter ended  December 31, 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.  The
increase  in  miscellaneous  income  reflects a lease buy out of  $159,000  on a
building  held for  investment  by the Company and a tax refund of $59,000  from
prior years returns.

Other Expenses 
Total other  expenses  for the  three-month  period  ended  December  31,  1998,
increased  $503,000  over the same period ended  December 31, 1997.  Ninety-five
percent of the increase in other  expenses came from the  miscellaneous  expense
area.  Miscellaneous  expenses  increased  $479,000  due to a variety of factors
including a $298,000  write off of bad  checks,  a write down of $118,000 on the
value of the building held by the Company for  investment  reflecting  the lease
buy out, and the expensing of $39,000 of deferred costs associated with the same
building.

Six-months  Ended  December 31, 1998 Compared to Six-months  Ended  December 31,
1997:

General
The Company  reported  net income of  $5,240,000,  or $.96 per  dilutive  common
share,  for the six-months ended December 31, 1998,  compared to $5,148,000,  or
$.95 per dilutive  common share,  for the same period a year ago, an increase of
$92,000.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased  $126,000 for the
six-month  period ended  December  31,  1998,  compared to the same period ended
December 31, 1997.  The reasons for this decrease were primarily the same as for
the  three-month  period  ended  December 31,  1998.  Net interest  income after
provision for loan losses  increased by $34,000 for the  six-month  period ended
December 31, 1998.

The change to the loan loss  allowance for the six-month  period ended  December
31, 1998 is as follows:

     Six months ending December 31: (in thousands)           1998       1997

Allowance to Total Loans ..............................      .72%       .66%
Allowance to Nonperforming Assets .....................       74%       101%

Interest Income
Total interest income for the six-month period ended December 31, 1998 decreased
$227,000, compared to the six-month period ended December 31, 1997. The decrease
in  interest  income  was due to a decline  of 36 basis  points in the  weighted
average  interest  rate  earned on  interest  bearing  assets.  The  decrease in
interest income was mitigated by an increase in average  balances of $12,539,000
for the  six-month  period ended  December 31, 1998 as compared to the six-month
period ended December 31, 1997.

Interest Expense 
Total  interest  expense for the  six-months  ended  December 31, 1998 decreased
$101,000,  compared to the  six-month  period  ended  December  31,  1997.  This
decrease was due  primarily to the same reasons as discussed in the  three-month
period ended December 31, 1998. These reasons include increased average balances
of deposits and borrowings outstanding,  being offset by declining rates paid on
these same liabilities.

                                -10-
<PAGE>

Other Income
Total other income for the six-month  period ended  December 31, 1998  increased
$745,000 as compared to the same period one year ago.  The  increases in gain on
sale of loans and  miscellaneous  income  accounts are  reflective of the second
quarter increases detailed above. These increases in other income were offset by
a  $125,000  decrease  in  insurance,  annuity  income  and other  fees due to a
$101,000  decrease in income from annuity and brokerage  sales. The reduction in
annuity and brokerage sales was the result of a downturn in the market, which in
turn  reduced  the volume of client  transactions  completed  in the annuity and
brokerage area.

Other Expenses 
Total other expenses for the six-month  period ended December 31, 1998 increased
$630,000.  This increase  reflects the previously  mentioned  increases in other
expenses  discussed  in the three month  period  ended  December  31,  1998.  In
addition to the increases in other expenses,  compensation and occupancy expense
increased $157,000 due to normal salary increases and compensation costs related
to increased loan activity.

FINANCIAL CONDITION:
Total assets  increased by $18,829,000 from June 30, 1998, to December 31, 1998.
Securities  held to maturity  decreased  by  $2,468,000  primarily  due to these
securities  being called and the funds being used for loan  originations.  Loans
held for sale and net loans  receivable  increased by $6,563,000 and $4,205,000,
respectively  for the sixth month period ended December 31, 1998. Joint ventures
increased  $1,061,000  as the Bank was in the  initial  stages  of two new joint
ventures.

Total  liabilities  showed an increase of  $16,382,000  from June 30,  1998,  to
December 31, 1998.  The majority of the increase came from two areas as deposits
increased  $12,425,000  and advances  from the Federal Home Loan Bank  increased
$8,150,000.  These  increases  were offset by decreases of  $2,589,000  in other
borrowings and $1,775,000 in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Shareholders'  equity  increased  $2,447,000  during the same  period.  Retained
earnings increased  $5,240,000 million from net income and decreased  $1,072,000
for dividends paid.  Common stock decreased  $1,790,000 due to stock repurchases
of  $2,033,000  and  $243,000  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 accumulated  other
comprehensive  income from unrealized  gains in its available for sale portfolio
of $147,000,  or a $69,000  increase in  shareholders'  equity from the June 30,
1998 gain position of $78,000.


At December  31, 1998,  the Bank  exceeded  all current OTS  regulatory  capital
requirements as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The minimum liquidity level is 4%, the lowest amount allowed by law. At December
31, 1998, the Bank's average liquidity ratio was 15.9%.  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 December 31,
1998, the Bank had  $106,222,000 in such  borrowings.  As of that date, the Bank
had  commitments  to fund  loan  originations  and  purchases  of  approximately
$31,894,000  and  commitments  to sell loans of  $32,063,000.  In the opinion of
management,  the Bank has  sufficient  cash flow and borrowing  capacity to meet
current and anticipated funding commitments.

YEAR 2000 READINESS 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.

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.
Most of the  significant  providers have compliant  versions  available and have
significantly  completed  the  validation  phase and are  preparing to test with
their  users.  The  Company  has already  conducted  Year 2000 user  testing for
several of its  mission  critical  systems.  This is ahead of the March 31, 1999
schedule  as  recommended  by the  Federal  Financial  Institutions  Examination
Council   for   institutions   that  rely  on   service   providers   for  their
mission-critical  systems.  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.


                                      -12-
<PAGE>


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 with existing customers has been significantly  completed, and an
evaluation  of the  risk  posed  by the  Company's  material  customers  is well
underway. The underwriting  procedures of the Company were amended to include an
evaluation  in all new  requests  for credit that  determines  whether Year 2000
issues will materially affect the customer's cash flows,  balance sheet or value
of the collateral. Based upon the results of this evaluation, appropriate action
will be taken to minimize the risk to the Company.

Current Status
The project team estimates that the Company's Year 2000 readiness project is 84%
complete  and that the  activities  involved  in  assessing  external  risks and
operational  issues  are  90%  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 been completed. 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.
