recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial 
statements.  These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction 
with the Company's most recent annual financial statements and footnotes 
included in the annual report of Home Building Bancorp, Inc. dated September 
30, 1997.  The results of the period presented are not necessarily 
representative of the results of operations and cash flows which may be 
expected for the entire year.

Note 2:  Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Home Building 
Bancorp, Inc., Home Building Savings Bank, FSB, and the Bank's subsidiary.  
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated 
in consolidation.

Note 3:  Stock Conversion

On February 7, 1995, Home Building Bancorp, Inc. began trading as a public 
company on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.  The Company issued 322,000 shares, 
$.01 par value common stock, for proceeds of $2,858,862 net expenses of 
approximately $361,000.  The Bank converted to a federal stock savings bank 
following the formation of the holding company and received proceeds of 
$1,432,853 in exchange for all its common stock. This transaction was accounted 
for using historical cost in a manner similar to that in a pooling of 
interests. 

Note 4:  Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings of $0.24 per common share for the most recent quarter was 
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares 
outstanding during the quarter, less Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) 
shares and Recognition and Retention Plan (RRP) shares not committed to be 
released.  The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period was 
288,975.  Dilutive earnings per share is consistent with that of basic 
earnings per share while giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares 
that were outstanding during the period.  Earnings, assuming dilution, for the 
most recent quarter were $0.23 per share.  A reconciliation of both numerators 
and denominators of the per share calculations follows:

Note 5:  Allowance for Loan Losses and Loan Loss Provision

The allowance for loan losses increased $2,154 to $82,834 for the three-month 
period ended December 31, 1997.  This increase was due to a recovery of a loan 
that was previously charged-off by the Company and an additional provision of 
$2,000 for loan losses made during the period ended December 31, 1997.  
Activity in the allowance for loan losses was as follows:

Home Building Bancorp, Inc.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation

General

Home Building Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) was formed at the direction of 
Home Building Savings Bank, FSB (the Bank), for the purpose of owning all 
the stock outstanding in the Bank.  The Company incorporated under the laws of 
the State of Indiana and is generally authorized to engage in any activity that
is permitted under Indiana law.  On February 7, 1995, the Company acquired all 
the stock of the Bank in accordance with the approved plan of conversion.  The 
Company had not engaged in any material operations at December 31, 1997, and 
had no significant assets other than its equity investment in the Bank's stock, 
cash, investments, and a loan to the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan 
(ESOP).

Established in 1908, the Home Building Savings Bank, FSB is a community 
oriented financial institution offering a variety of financial services to meet 
the needs of the communities it serves.  The Bank's primary market area covers 
Daviess and Pike counties in southwestern Indiana.  The Bank attracts deposits 
from the general public and uses such deposits, together with borrowings and 
other funds, to originate one- to four-family residential mortgage, 
automobile and consumer loans, and to a lesser extent commercial, multifamily
and construction real estate loans.  The Bank also invests in U.S. government 
and agency obligations and may invest in other permissible investments.

The Bank's results of operations are primarily dependent upon its net interest 
income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and 
investments and interest paid on deposits and other borrowed funds.  Net
interest income is directly affected by the relative amounts of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on
such amounts.  The Bank's results of operations are also affected by the 
provision for loan losses and the level of noninterest income and expenses. 
Noninterest income consists primarily of service charges and net income from the
Bank's wholly owned service corporation subsidiary.  Noninterest expense 
includes salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expenses, federal deposit
insurance premiums, data processing expenses, and other operating expenses.  
The operating results of the Bank are also affected by general economic 
conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of federal agencies, and the 
policies of agencies that regulate financial institutions.  The Bank's cost
of funds is influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general
market rates of interest.  Lending activities are influences by the demand
for real estate loans and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by 
the rates of interest at which loans are offered, general economic conditions 
affecting loan demand, and the availability of funds for lending activities.

Financial Condition  

For the three months ended December 31, 1997, total assets increased 
approximately $680,000 to $42.4 million from $41.7 million at September 30, 
1997.  Loans receivable increased approximately $259,000 to $28.8 million at 
December 31, 1997.  Total cash and cash equivalents increased approximately 
$1.1 million.  These increases were funded from the proceeds received from the 
sale and maturity of investment securities which portfolio decreased 
approximately $600,000 and an increase in deposits.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation
(continued)

Financial Condition, continued  

Liabilities increased by approximately $600,000 as deposits at December 31, 
1997, which were the primary funding source for the increase in assets, 
increased $564,000 from September 30, 1997.  The Bank's advances from the FHLB 
remained unchanged.  The Bank has maintained deposit interest rates which are 
competitive for its marketplace and was successful during the quarter at 
retaining and increasing deposits.  

Results of Operations:  
Comparison of the three months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.

General.  The Bank experienced a net profit of $68,789 for the quarter compared 
to a net profit of $68,232 for the same period in 1996.  Increases in net 
interest income and other income were offset by higher noninterest expenses, 
resulting in virtually unchanged net income compared to the same period a 
year ago.  

Interest Income.  Total interest income increased $12,000, or 1.6%, to $808,000 
for the three months ended December 31, 1997, compared to the same period 
last year.  Interest income earned on the Bank's loan portfolio increased 
$28,000 to $612,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1997, compared to 
$584,000 a year ago.  This increase was due to a shift in the Bank's asset mix 
towards higher yielding mortgage and consumer loans and away from lower 
yielding investment and mortgage-backed securities.  Interest income from 
investments increased $25,000 to $59,000 for the most recent quarter compared 
to $34,000 the same quarter a year ago.  Interest income from mortgage-backed 
securities decreased $25,000 to $78,000 for the most recent quarter compared to 
$103,000 for the same quarter a year ago.  The weighted average yield on 
earning assets was 7.89% for the three months ended December 31, 1997 
compared to 7.55% for the three months ended December 31, 1996.

Interest Expense.  Total interest expense decreased $16,000, or 3.5%, to 
$436,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997, compared to $452,000 the 
same quarter a year ago.  The decrease was due to a reduction in the weighted 
average cost of deposits and borrowed funds to 4.69% for the most recent 
quarter from 4.75% for the same quarter a year ago, as a result of lower market 
interest rates generally.  Deposit volume fell by $2.7 million, or 7.7%, to 
$32.1 million for the most recent quarter from $34.8 million for the same 
quarter a year ago.  Most of the reduction came from lower public funds balances
compared to a year ago.  The Bank does not rely on these funds for 
operations.  The Bank is able to compete aggressively for savings funds when 
adequate spreads on loans or investments become available.  FHLB advances 
also remain a liability management tool.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income before provision for loan losses 
increased $29,000, or 8.45%, to $372,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 
1997, compared to $343,000 for the same quarter in 1996.  As of December 31, 
1997 interest-earning assets were 114.3% of interest bearing liabilities.  On 
the asset side, the Bank's fixed rate mortgage portfolio grew, while the 
adjustable rate mortgage and installment loan portfolios decreased.  On the
liability side, the Bank's certificate of deposit and savings/NOW deposits both 
grew moderately during the quarter.  The Bank's liabilities are generally
shorter in term and subject to repricing more frequently than assets; 
accordingly, an increase in interest rates could adversely affect the Company's
net income.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation
(continued)

Net Interest Income, continued


The Bank continues to stress consumer and installment lending.  Interest rate 
risk is monitored to assure compliance with the Bank's policy.  Investments 
stress shorter-term and adjustable rate securities to respond to changing rates.
The Bank, as a thrift institution, continues to have a below average exposure 
to interest rate risk compared to its peers.

Nonperforming Assets and Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan 
losses is a result of management's periodic analysis of the adequacy of the 
Bank's allowance for loan losses.  During the three month period ended December 
31, 1997, a $2,000 provision was charged against earnings to increase the level 
of the allowance for loan losses. The Bank adjusts its allowance in accordance 
with its Classified Assets Policy.  The Bank believes it has taken an 
appropriate approach toward reserve levels, consistent with the Bank's loan 
portfolio, its current level of reserves, the economy, real estate values and 
interest rates.  The Bank has had an extremely low level of loan losses during
its history and therefore considers the loss experience of similar portfolios in
comparable lending markets and institutions. Federal regulators may require 
additional reserves as a result of their examinations of the Bank.  Accordingly,
the calculation of the adequacy of the allowance is not solely based directly 
on the level of nonperforming assets at any one time.  No assurance can be made
that future losses will not exceed the estimated amounts, thereby adversely
affecting future results of operations.  As of December 31, 1997, the Bank's
allowance for loan losses was $83,000 compared to $78,500 one year ago. 

As of December 31, 1997 the Bank's non-performing assets totaled $286,000, or 
 .67% of total assets.  At the same date the Bank's ratio of allowance for loan 
losses to non-performing assets was 29.0%.

Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased $5,000 in the most recent 
quarter compared to the same quarter in 1996. The increase came from the gain 
on a security which was called during the quarter.

Noninterest Expense.  Total noninterest expense increased $41,000, or 15.7%, to 
$302,000 for the most recent quarter compared to $261,000 the same quarter a 
year ago.  The increase was due to recognition of expense related to stock based
compensation plans, timing of payments for legal expenses and professional 
fees, as well as recognition of an insurance deductible related to an insurance 
claim.  Deposit insurance premiums decreased compared to the quarter ended 
December 31, 1996.

Income Tax Expense.  Income tax expense was  $31,000 during the most recent 
quarter compared to $41,000 the same quarter a year ago.  The amount of 
expense accrued each quarter for income tax expense is based on management's 
estimate of future tax liability.

Financial Condition and Results of Operation
(concluded)


Liquidity and Capital Requirements  Home Building's main sources of funds are 
deposits, loan and investment repayments, fees and service charges and Federal 
Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances.  Federal regulations require the Bank to 
maintain cash and eligible investments in an amount equal to at least 4% of 
customer accounts and short-term borrowings to assure its ability to meet 
demands forterm borrowings.  As of December 31, 1997, the Bank's liquidity ratio
was 11.06%, which is well above the regulatory requirements.

The Bank uses its capital resources to meet ongoing commitments, to fund 
maturing certificates of deposit and deposit withdrawals, to invest, to fund 
existing and future loan commitments, to maintain liquidity, and to meet 
operating expenses.  The Bank anticipates it will have sufficient funds to meet 
current loan commitments.  At December 31, 1997, the Bank had outstanding 
commitments to extend credit totaling $763,000.  Management believes loan 
repayments and other sources of funds will be adequate to meet the Bank's 
foreseeable liquidity needs.  FHLB advances may be used to take advantage of 
investment opportunities, but are not relied upon in the regular course of 
business.  At December 31, 1997, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in 
one year or less totaled $9.8 million.  Management believes based on its 
experience to date that a significant portion of these funds will remain with 
the Bank.  

Home Building Savings Bank is required to maintain specific amounts of 
regulatory capital pursuant to federal regulations.  The table below presents 
the capital position at December 31, 1997 relative to the regulatory capital 
requirements.
