                 Home Bancorp Reports $40 Million Deposit Growth

FORT WAYNE,  Indiana,  -- April 28, 1999 -- Home  Bancorp  (Nasdaq:  HBFW) today
reported second quarter fiscal year 1999 (FY '99) earnings and financial results
ended March 31, 1999. Net income for the second quarter 1999 was $789,000 ($0.39
basic earnings per share)  compared to $839,000 ($0.38 basic earnings per share)
for the same period a year earlier, a dollar decrease of 6%, however,  reflected
a 3% increase in earnings  per share.  The three  months  earnings  represent an
annualized  return on  average  assets  (ROA) of 0.81%  and a return on  average
equity (ROE) of 7.86%.  The decrease in the March 31, 1999 quarterly income from
the prior year like period was  attributed to a $40.0 million net deposit growth
and a $5.0 million advance increase which together collectively  increased total
interest expense $0.3 million.

Net income for the six months ended March 31, 1999  increased  3% to  $1,554,000
($0.76 basic  earnings  per share) from  $1,504,000  ($0.68  basic  earnings per
share) for the same period in 1998,  an  increase of 12% in earnings  per share.
For the six month period ended March 31,1999,  earnings  represent an annualized
average ROA of 0.81% and a ROE of 7.72%.

A Company's  milestone at March 31, 1999 was $396.6 million in total assets,  an
increase of $43.2  million,  or 12% from $353.4  million at March 31, 1998;  net
loans  receivable  were $339.2  million,  an increase of $33.2 million,  or 11%,
during the twelve-month period. For the same period from March 31, 1998 to March
31,  1999,  deposits  increased  from $303.6  million to $343.6  million,  or an
increase of $40.0 million or 13%.

Home Loan Bank has a proven track  record  attracting  a sizable  depositor  and
borrower  customer  base. W. Paul Wolf,  Chairman and Chief  Executive  Officer,
reported "Most sophisticated customers, for their peace-of-mind, want to be able
to look at a firm's past performance before establishing a banking relationship.
A portion  of  current  deposit  and loan  growth  can be the  result of unhappy
customers  whose former local banks were acquired by  out-of-state  bank holding
companies."

In the short four years since the March 29, 1995 stock conversion, the Company's
March 31, 1999 results have achieved  enormous  growth;  i.e.  assets  increased
29.7% from $306 million to $397 million;  loans  augmented  from $204 million to
$339 million for a 66.2%  growth;  and  deposits  magnified to $344 million from
$250 million, a 37.6% increase.
