                     Reports First-Quarter FY 1997 Earnings
                                Dividend Declared


FORT WAYNE,  Indiana,  -- February 5, 1997 -- Home Bancorp  (Nasdaq:  HBFW), the
holding company for Home Loan Bank,  today reported first quarter of fiscal year
1997,  ended  December  31,  1996,  net income of  $651,000,  an increase of 3%,
compared  to  $629,000  for the same  period a year ago.  The  return on average
assets for three months ended December 31, 1996 was 0.80%,  an identical  return
in the prior year like period representing also 0.80%.

Net loans  receivable  increased 2 1/2 percent to $256.5 million at December 31,
1996 compared to $250.3  million at the prior quarter ended  September 30, 1996.
The quarter ended December 31, 1996 net loans receivable  increased $6.2 million
compared with the prior quarter  ended  September 30, 1996 net loans  receivable
increase of $10.5 million.  The loan growth decline resulted from a softening of
the local  residential  real estate  market for the three months ended  December
31st.

The  first  quarter  fiscal  year  1997  provision  for loan  losses  was  $600,
representing  $5,400  less than the prior  year  period  charge of  $6,000.  The
December  31,  1996  Company's   leading  asset  quality   indicator   ratio  of
non-performing  assets  ($205,393)  to  total  assets  of  0.06%  compared  most
favorably  with the state of Indiana  June 30,  1996 peer  group  non-performing
assets to total asset ratio of 0.48%.

The  allowance for loan losses of $1,386,189  remains  almost  constant from the
prior quarter  allowance at September 30, 1996  representing  $1,385,589.  There
were no charge-offs on loans during the quarter ended December 31, 1996.

Home Bancorp at December 31, 1996 had total  assets of $325.2  million  compared
with prior quarter ended September 30, 1996 assets of $322.7  million;  December
31, 1996 deposits of $277.0  million  compared with $271.2  million at September
30,  1996;  and  December  31,  1996  stockholders'   equity  of  $45.5  million
(representing  a book  value of $17.15 per share)  compared  with  stockholders'
equity of $46.7  million  (representing  a book  value of $16.91  per  share) at
September 30, 1996. The  stockholders'  equity decrease can be attributed to our
stock repurchase program.

On January 21, 1997,  the Board of Directors  declared a quarterly cash dividend
of $0.05 per  share,  payable  on March 27,  1997 to  stockholders  of record on
February 28, 1997. This fourth consecutive quarterly dividend payment recognizes
the continued success of the Company.
